It looks real good.
Yeah, it looks real good!

1:17:07
I'm falling out.
1:17:11
I fell out of the plane!
1:17:13
Is there a doctor in the house?
1:17:15
I think I'm going to faint!
1:17:16
I want to tell you how much I've enjoyed
being a part of this show.

1:17:20
I know that Mike Rettig and Malcolm
are going to carry on without me.

1:17:23
I'd like you to tell them for me! Will you?
1:17:26
I don't want any of you to be upset.
1:17:28
These are the chances we take,
we all know it can happen at any time.

1:17:31
Especially if you're stupid enough
to fall out of a plane without a chute!

1:17:35
But I'm not that stupid!
1:17:38
So I guess I better open the chute...
1:17:40
... before this joke goes too far!
1:17:52
Now we come to the most dangerous
and exciting stunt.

1:17:55
I'd like to be able to say
we all drew lots to see...

1:17:58
... who'd perform this stunt,
but that'd be a lie...

1:18:00
... because Malcolm and I are chicken.
That leaves Mike Rettig.

1:18:04
Seriously, as far as we know,
Mike is the only person...

1:18:07
... in this country performing
this stunt at the present time.

1:18:10
Wearing this specially designed cape.
1:18:12
Mike is going to jump...
1:18:13
... and do some very nice things for you
on the way down.

1:18:16
He'll be traveling in excess of 200 mph.
1:18:20
Up to now,
the fastest we've gone is about 100 mph.

1:18:22
You can see the difference.
1:18:24
Another thing: Unless he holds his arms
correctly, the wind can break them off.

1:18:28
Attached to each foot
will be this smoke flare...

1:18:31
... so he'll leave a trail through the sky
you can follow.

1:18:34
Unless the flare malfunctions and burns
his legs, which they have a habit of doing.

1:18:38
Mike Rettig. Now, let's hear it for Mike.
Come on, let's hear it!

1:18:53
- See you, kid.
- Rettig?

1:18:58
Don't be late for supper!
