Transcript

Family Theatre presents Tom Drake and Dan O'Hurlough. From Hollywood, the mutual network in cooperation with Family Theatre presents Design Flaws starring Tom Drake. And now here is your host, Dan O'Hurlough.

Thank you, Tony Lefrano. Family Theatre's only purpose is to bring to everyone's attention a practice that must become an important part of our lives. If we are to win peace for ourselves, peace for our families and peace for the world, family theatre urges you to pray, pray together as a family.

And now to our transcribed drama, Design Floor, starring Tom Drake as Mike. Get it out of the dive, the plane can't take it. That's foolishness, everything's going to be alright. You're wrong, I tell you, the plane can't take it, we're going to crash.

Nothing at all to worry about, greatest aircraft ever designed. You've got to listen to me before it's too late. We're gonna crash. There's something wrong with this plane. Something wrong with the Humboldt 7? That's ridiculous.

It's not ridiculous. And what's the matter with it? Can you tell me that? No, no, I can't. But you've got to listen to me. You can't tell me, but you say I should listen to me.

It's not airworthy. Not airworthy. Fies like a dream. Look at that airspeed. It's because we're in a dive, man. Bolton, you're a good engineer, but leave the overall picture to us. We know what we're doing.

You don't the plain old crass! That's not... Think of the people who will be killed! I told you, I told you, why wouldn't you listen to me? Why wouldn't you listen? Mike, Mike stop it stop it.

Now look what's happened look. Mike! Mike I'm sorry, but you told me to hit you. Mike, are you alright now? Oh, I am. I'm sorry, but you told me to slap if it ever happened again.
