In a real emergency, a coast guard's ability To find an E.
L.
T.
In a timely manner- - Yeah, yeah, yeah, cut to the chase.
What time to we have to beat? - 1 minute, 38 seconds.
- Piece of cake.
- Let's do it.
- Fair enough.
Ladies, start your engines.
Go! - Okay, this way, this way.
- Okay, we got it.
We got it.
- It's dead ahead.
- Oh, that's nasty.
- Pigs.
- Time! 5 minutes, 32 seconds.
In a real emergency, A search-and-rescue worker needs to- - Don't even start.
The point of exercise is to hone skills, Not entertain little minds.
- Oh, come on, I'm trying to lighten it up- - Next time we do an exercise, don't waste my time.
- It was a joke.
- And on our left, folks, Are the proud men and women of the Canadian coast guard.
Everybody say "hey"! Hey! - Wave to my girlfriend.
Hi, Carly.
Hi, Carly! - Ladies and gents, we'll be landing in port Hallet shortly.
Please put your tray tables in their upright position, And on behalf of the captain and myself, I'd like to thank you for flying air orca.
- Okay.
- Well, maybe we'll just go below and start lunch.
- Great.
Go ahead.
I'll see you down there.
- Yeah, whatever.
Take your time.
There's no rush.
- Sure.
What is it now? - Now? - Yeah.
- I've been tired and freezing for three days.
- Lighten up a little, will you, please? Come on, this is why I bust my hump 72 hours a week.
Can you at least try and have a little fun? - I think the last time I had this much fun, I was cleaning out the oven.
No, that was warmer.
- Jo, do me a favor.
At least in front of Brian and Leslie, Can you "pretend," okay? Come on.
- How'd it go out there? - Good.
Good, yeah It was fine What's happening with the storm system? Is it coming to shore? - It's supposed to wallop us tomorrow sometime.
- Another wild weekend, huh? - Speaking of wild weekends, A woman named Irene called for you, twice.
- You' too funny.
That's no woman.
That's my sister.
- So what was that all about? Miro's just trying to lighten things up a bit.
- Well, I'm not going easy on him.
He's duty captain now.
He should grow up.
Why? What are you so worried about? - It's just we're on short-leash contracts.
You know, every six months, Any one of us could be transferred out of here.
That's all I'm saying.
- Well, Nori renews our contracts.
Who stays and who goes is up to her, Not duty captain.
Why? You think Miro's gonna try and get rid of me? - I think a captain always wants his crew to respect him.
- Respect is a two-way street.
- Yeah, it is.
- Hey.
- What's up? - I was out of line.
- Were you? I didn't notice.
Anything else? - No, that's it.
- Yeah, hello.
- Don't "yeah, hello" me.
What, are you a big hotshot now? Is that it? - Irene, w what do y want? I'm working.
- Look, I've got everything all set for daddy's party.
Hey, Monica! Knock it off! I don't care who started it! Just knock it off! Anyway, just be there at noon, okay? I don't-I've only got that room at the home for two hours.
- Yeah, okay.
I'll try.
It depends on the ferry.
Rain forecast is iffy.
- Try nothing, your highness.
You be there, or there's hell to pay.
- Hey! - Hey.
- Pretty lady, you come to see your man do his thing? - Sort of.
- Hey, guys, this is my girlfriend, Carly.
Yeah, I know, right? - Can you, uh, just - Yeah.
Hey.
- Will you, um Uh, are you, uh, gonna come over later? - Yeah, you bet, darling.
I'm making my famous pad Thai-spicy.
You like pad Thai? - Sure, yeah.
- I can make something else.
- No, uh, that's fine.
- Okay, what'd I do? - Can you stop cruising by the base? - Hey, you know, it's open water.
- I know.
I don't appreciate being part of the freak show.
- Freak show? Wow, that's harsh.
- Can you just not do it? - Why? 'cause you're ashamed of me? - That's not what I said.
- No, I know what you said.
You know what, darling? I got to show another boatload of tourists the whales, So - Andrew, you have to do something about this.
If you love us at all, you have to go see somebody.
- Come on, you dirty brute.
- So these are post-dated.
- Checks, huh? - Through to the end of the month.
I got to live off cash for a bit.
- If you're having money issues, You might maybe rethink that macho-man truck.
What's that set you back a month? - My truck? No, I-I need my truck.
I just got a, uh, credit-card screwup to sort out.
- If one of these bounces, You realize I'll be coming down the hall And take it out of your hide.
- Miro! Hey, remember me? - Hot beef sandwich.
- Thanks.
- This will be a cash transaction.
- Yes.
- Just checking.
- Okay, look, the only thing we ever promised each other Was no head games, And we both still want the same thing, right? - I thought so.
- Just keep it casual.
- Yeah, yeah.
No, exactly.
- Okay, uh, not returning my calls and texts, That's not casual.
In fact, that is actually a form of aggression.
Uh! To keep things casual, you have to be honest, right? - Absolutely.
- So before we even had sex, We both agreed to this "no strings" thing.
So if you want to walk away, no biggie, But just say so.
- No, that's not-no.
- Listen, I'm 41.
This is not my first waltz around the ballroom.
I don't have the hang-ups a lot of other people have, But I do not want games.
I'm cool with whatever, But I need to know where I stand.
- Fair enough.
- Okay.
So that being said, Do you have any plans for this evening? - Tonight? - Mm-hmm.
- That's not good for me.
I've Got a meeting.
- You got a meeting? - Yeah.
I'm It's coast guard stuff.
- You frickin' jerk! No, you know what you are? You are an adolescent! You are an emotionally stunted, post-pubescent amateur! - Could you ju- There's no need to embarrass the both of us.
- Oh, what? You're embarrassed? You are embarrassed? You used me for the best sex you've ever had In your pathetic, little man life, And then you leave me hanging out to dry.
- It's okay.
I got your coffee.
- You know what, buddy? You can just kiss this ass and wave it good-bye! - How do you know when it's time To cut your losses and get out? - Are you waiting for me to answer that? - I've been at this 12 years.
How hard do I fight? I mean, how many sacrifices do I make To keep a job with crappy hours And lousy pay No security? - When did this become about pay and security? - What I'm asking is, How long do you permit yourself to be kicked in the shins And abused by people who, in theory, Should know and respect you? - Wow.
You really are a sore loser.
I'm not talking About losing the competition for duty captain.
That's just part of the coast guard.
You win some, you lose some, You move on.
I just hope one day I'm not gonna regret spinning my wheels here.
- God, you were doing so well.
I hope we're not in for another battle.
- Look, you're not spinning your wheels.
Hey, miss.
You were supposed to be home a while ago.
- I bumped into some people.
- No, I'll go.
Let me go.
I'll try some girl talk.
You want to look at me? You know what? You don't need to.
I could see outside your pupils are the size of dimes.
Stay out of your dad's stash.
It's for his M.
S.
He needs that for pain control.
- So do I.
- Look, the deal was home by 6:00 or call.
- You're not a cop, and you're not my mom.
- No But I can still kick your ass.
- Try it.
- So what did you learn? - Well, he said the weather may get wild before the day's out.
He suggested we just stay put, right? - Well, he said we should think about it anyway.
- Okay, so is that our plan, then? - It's not that bad yet.
It's not.
Look, okay, I say we head straight down the coast.
We'll stay close to shore, and, uh-and we'll be fine.
- Eric, no.
Why on earth would you say that? - Jo, it's only 20 miles back to the marina in the car.
- Where you left the emergency flares in the trunk.
- We won't need the emergency flares.
- Eric! - Jo.
Come on, look, both Brian and I, we got to get back.
We got court Monday morning.
- There is a storm coming.
No, I'm not getting on that sailboat.
I'm not doing it.
- You know what, then? Fine.
Fine.
Suit yourself, okay? You take the damn ferry back.
We'll have a margarita waiting for you on the dock.
Come on.
- Hey.
What you doing? You're reading.
What? - Tibetan book of the dead.
- Why? - I'm divining my pathway to enlightenment.
- Oh.
I cleaned out my truck earlier.
- Well, that's good too.
- So What happened to my pad Thai? I thought you were coming over last night.
- Yeah, I figured we could both use the sleep.
Sorry, darling, I got to get to work.
- Oh, come on, Wendell, this is really high school.
- Is it? I don't know.
I didn't get much high school.
- I can't believe you're honestly upset with me About last night.
I mean, this whole wounded act is a joke, right? - Yeah.
Listen, I can handle the whole pushing away And sparring, But if you're ashamed to be with me in public, Maybe you ought to be ashamed to be with me in private too.
- Come on, Wendell, you can't be serious.
So that's it? We're over? Is that what you're telling me? - Well, look who decided to grace us with his presence.
Daddy's over there, your highness.
Go say hello.
- They line up With three wide receivers and Flago as the lone setback.
The defense shows blitz.
Stanbridge from the shotgun, steps back in the pocket, Throws up the middle.
Broken up by the D.
B.

Slips a tackle, cuts to the outside, Still on his feet.
Up to the 40, the 50, gets a block.

One man to beat.

Mitchell with a fantastic pair of hands.
He's just doing an amazing job Coming back off of that injury last year, An Achilles heel - Get me the hell out of here.
Go to hell.
- Dad, there's a five-foot rule on oxygen compressors.
Besides, you shouldn't be smoking anyways.
- You sound just like that bitch nurse- Always yapping about rules and schedule.
I'd like to give it to her.
- Tone it down, okay? - So you been getting any lately? Yeah, like I'm really gonna talk to you about that.
Well, I've been sussing out my prospects.
This one old girl come nosing around the table at mealtime.

When do you give it a rest? - Don't get all moral on me.
You sound just like your sisters.
Since when did they get to be such miserable bitches? - Was there ever a time? Did you ever love mom? - What t hell's that supposed to mean? I never loved another woman in my life.
- Then Why? - That had nothing to do with love.

You have to let it go.
- That's it? You're going already? - I got to make it to the ferry to get to work.

Take your time.
There's no rush.
- Sure.
What is it now? - Now? - Yeah.
- I've been tired and freezing for three days.
- Lighten up a little, will you, please? Come on, this is why I bust my hump 72 hours a week.
Can you at least try and have a little fun? - I think the last time I had this much fun, I was cleaning out the oven.
No, that was warmer.
- Jo, do me a favor.
At least in front of Brian and Leslie, Can you "pretend," okay? Come on.
- How'd it go out there? - Good.
Good, yeah It was fine What's happening with the storm system? Is it coming to shore? - It's supposed to wallop us tomorrow sometime.
- Another wild weekend, huh? - Speaking of wild weekends, A woman named Irene called for you, twice.
- You' too funny.
That's no woman.
That's my sister.
- So what was that all about? Miro's just trying to lighten things up a bit.
- Well, I'm not going easy on him.
He's duty captain now.
He should grow up.
Why? What are you so worried about? - It's just we're on short-leash contracts.
You know, every six months, Any one of us could be transferred out of here.
That's all I'm saying.
- Well, Nori renews our contracts.
Who stays and who goes is up to her, Not duty captain.
Why? You think Miro's gonna try and get rid of me? - I think a captain always wants his crew to respect him.
- Respect is a two-way street.
- Yeah, it is.
- Hey.
- What's up? - I was out of line.
- Were you? I didn't notice.
Anything else? - No, that's it.
- Yeah, hello.
- Don't "yeah, hello" me.
What, are you a big hotshot now? Is that it? - Irene, w what do y want? I'm working.
- Look, I've got everything all set for daddy's party.
Hey, Monica! Knock it off! I don't care who started it! Just knock it off! Anyway, just be there at noon, okay? I don't-I've only got that room at the home for two hours.
- Yeah, okay.
I'll try.
It depends on the ferry.
Rain forecast is iffy.
- Try nothing, your highness.
You be there, or there's hell to pay.
- Hey! - Hey.
- Pretty lady, you come to see your man do his thing? - Sort of.
- Hey, guys, this is my girlfriend, Carly.
Yeah, I know, right? - Can you, uh, just - Yeah.
Hey.
- Will you, um Uh, are you, uh, gonna come over later? - Yeah, you bet, darling.
I'm making my famous pad Thai-spicy.
You like pad Thai? - Sure, yeah.
- I can make something else.
- No, uh, that's fine.
- Okay, what'd I do? - Can you stop cruising by the base? - Hey, you know, it's open water.
- I know.
I don't appreciate being part of the freak show.
- Freak show? Wow, that's harsh.
- Can you just not do it? - Why? 'cause you're ashamed of me? - That's not what I said.
- No, I know what you said.
You know what, darling? I got to show another boatload of tourists the whales, So - Andrew, you have to do something about this.
If you love us at all, you have to go see somebody.
- Come on, you dirty brute.
- So these are post-dated.
- Checks, huh? - Through to the end of the month.
I got to live off cash for a bit.
- If you're having money issues, You might maybe rethink that macho-man truck.
What's that set you back a month? - My truck? No, I-I need my truck.
I just got a, uh, credit-card screwup to sort out.
- If one of these bounces, You realize I'll be coming down the hall And take it out of your hide.
- Miro! Hey, remember me? - Hot beef sandwich.
- Thanks.
- This will be a cash transaction.
- Yes.
- Just checking.
- Okay, look, the only thing we ever promised each other Was no head games, And we both still want the same thing, right? - I thought so.
- Just keep it casual.
- Yeah, yeah.
No, exactly.
- Okay, uh, not returning my calls and texts, That's not casual.
In fact, that is actually a form of aggression.
Uh! To keep things casual, you have to be honest, right? - Absolutely.
- So before we even had sex, We both agreed to this "no strings" thing.
So if you want to walk away, no biggie, But just say so.
- No, that's not-no.
- Listen, I'm 41.
This is not my first waltz around the ballroom.
I don't have the hang-ups a lot of other people have, But I do not want games.
I'm cool with whatever, But I need to know where I stand.
- Fair enough.
- Okay.
So that being said, Do you have any plans for this evening? - Tonight? - Mm-hmm.
- That's not good for me.
I've Got a meeting.
- You got a meeting? - Yeah.
I'm It's coast guard stuff.
- You frickin' jerk! No, you know what you are? You are an adolescent! You are an emotionally stunted, post-pubescent amateur! - Could you ju- There's no need to embarrass the both of us.
- Oh, what? You're embarrassed? You are embarrassed? You used me for the best sex you've ever had In your pathetic, little man life, And then you leave me hanging out to dry.
- It's okay.
I got your coffee.
- You know what, buddy? You can just kiss this ass and wave it good-bye! - How do you know when it's time To cut your losses and get out? - Are you waiting for me to answer that? - I've been at this 12 years.
How hard do I fight? I mean, how many sacrifices do I make To keep a job with crappy hours And lousy pay No security? - When did this become about pay and security? - What I'm asking is, How long do you permit yourself to be kicked in the shins And abused by people who, in theory, Should know and respect you? - Wow.
You really are a sore loser.
I'm not talking About losing the competition for duty captain.
That's just part of the coast guard.
You win some, you lose some, You move on.
I just hope one day I'm not gonna regret spinning my wheels here.
- God, you were doing so well.
I hope we're not in for another battle.
- Look, you're not spinning your wheels.
Hey, miss.
You were supposed to be home a while ago.
- I bumped into some people.
- No, I'll go.
Let me go.
I'll try some girl talk.
You want to look at me? You know what? You don't need to.
I could see outside your pupils are the size of dimes.
Stay out of your dad's stash.
It's for his M.
S.
He needs that for pain control.
- So do I.
- Look, the deal was home by 6:00 or call.
- You're not a cop, and you're not my mom.
- No But I can still kick your ass.
- Try it.
- So what did you learn? - Well, he said the weather may get wild before the day's out.
He suggested we just stay put, right? - Well, he said we should think about it anyway.
- Okay, so is that our plan, then? - It's not that bad yet.
It's not.
Look, okay, I say we head straight down the coast.
We'll stay close to shore, and, uh-and we'll be fine.
- Eric, no.
Why on earth would you say that? - Jo, it's only 20 miles back to the marina in the car.
- Where you left the emergency flares in the trunk.
- We won't need the emergency flares.
- Eric! - Jo.
Come on, look, both Brian and I, we got to get back.
We got court Monday morning.
- There is a storm coming.
No, I'm not getting on that sailboat.

- Yeah, I figured we could both use the sleep.
Sorry, darling, I got to get to work.
- Oh, come on, Wendell, this is really high school.
- Is it? I don't know.
I didn't get much high school.
- I can't believe you're honestly upset with me About last night.
I mean, this whole wounded act is a joke, right? - Yeah.
Listen, I can handle the whole pushing away And sparring, But if you're ashamed to be with me in public, Maybe you ought to be ashamed to be with me in private too.
- Come on, Wendell, you can't be serious.
So that's it? We're over? Is that what you're telling me? - Well, look who decided to grace us with his presence.
Daddy's over there, your highness.
