FRANK: (holding his IV, he shouts) Come on!! come on!!

GUN IT!

TRUCK WHEELS: Grind and spin on the tarmac.

MOVE ALONG THE WHEELS and FIND THE

HYDRAULIC PISTONS OF THE ICBM SILO COVER.

They rise up and then suddenly stop as the truck makes a

screeching lurch atop the nuclear missile lid, like a

tortoise mounting a turtle.

CLOSE ON: HYDRAULIC LIFT GEARS: REVOLVE

IMPOTENTLY, BEGIN TO SMOKE.

THE SILO COVER: STOPS RISING

Frank jumps away from the flying sparks even as the

POLICE DRIVER drops down from the truck.

ACROSS THE CONCRETE AIR FIELD FRANK SEES:

IN FRONT OF THE GIGANTIC AIRLINE HANGAR, THE

C-10 TRANS- PORT TURNS ITS LIGHTS ON.

Standing near the gangplank, Lt. Wharton waves over

towards Frank to bring the men.

FRANK: (shouts to the Philly cops)Hey everybody! It's

flight time!

THE BASE AIRMEN AND POLICE OFFICERS, including

Frank and his IV, start running across the tarmac towards

the cargo runway.

IN THE MASSIVE JUMBO REPAIR HANGAR: A C-10 is

hurriedly boarded by police, airmen and Highway Patrol

Officers.
