Hello and welcome to Retrospection. In this episode we're hacking our way through a steamy jungle with weeks of explore Congo Bongo the 1983 video game where the red-nosed explorer captured Bongo the... why are you laughing? Is that how we're doing?

Uh, I hope not. Because I'm completely laughing. Are we doing the 1995 adventure film Congo? I certainly hope we are.

Oh, that's okay. I can work this. My name's Colin and stop eating my sesame cake. And my name's Paul and I don't supply assholes with new personalities.

That's good because you'd have to operate on yourself. Yeah, what? IMDB says that when an expedition to the African Congo ends in disaster, a new team is assembled to find out what went wrong. Not really.

The plot of this film is it? Um, well, we kind of know what went wrong, really, don't we? Yeah, I mean IMDB either gives away the actual twist of the plot or is so vague that it sounds like it's a different film. Well, that is a different film.

Yeah, because that's only like what Dr Ross is part of it. That's not the actual film. And the guy that she's employed by, that isn't why he sends the second team in any way, is it? No, not really.

He couldn't care less. One of them is his own son. I know. Shocking.

Shocking? What was even more shocking to me was when I found out he plays his son, because I wasn't expecting that guy to turn up in his movie after so. Oh, we'll get to that. So this film stars Laura Linney, who starts her car in the Ross.

Tim Curry, has her camera, Hamulka? Sorry, sorry. What was that? Her camera, Hamulka.

This is me. Sorry. I thought you had COVID for a second. Dylan Walsh is Dr Peter Elliot.

Ernie Hudson is captain Monroe Kelly. Grant Hoesloff is Richard. Joe Don Baker is our beat Travis. And Lola Noah and Misty Rose is Amy DeGrilla.

You miss that one, isn't it? No, no, it's going to be a surprise. All right. Well, as I said, it wasn't a surprise to me.

I've never seen this movie before. I'll just say that now. I'll talk. All right.

It's directed by Frank Marshall, screenplay by John Patrick Shanley, based on the book by Michael Crater. Yeah. Did you read the story about the executive producer? Like, crying stories so much at the pitch that he went and sold the authorisation to the movie rights to 20th Century Fox without his knowledge before the book was even published.

No, I didn't know that. Do you remember the days when everything was based on a Michael Crater novel? Yeah, not all of it was good, aren't you? No, no.

What about that one with dinosaurs? Terrible. What's that one called? Oh, you mean disclosure?

Is that the one you're all about? Yeah, yeah. That's the one. Yeah.

Oh, sphere. This is a question I was going to ask you. What is your opinion of Michael Crater writing writing? I haven't really read that much.

I've read Jurassic Pearl. I tried to read disclosure, but it was so, I thought it was so badly written that I couldn't get for it. The bit that annoyed me was at the beginning of disclosure that Michael Douglas character, I can't remember the names, is in the shower. And he's thinking about his wife, but he starts describing her job and what she does.

And you're like, yeah, I get the point that you're explaining to me the reader what she does, but you wouldn't think about your wife in that way, in the shower, unless you've never met her before. There's ways to do it, to do the exact same thing, but better, isn't there? It's like bad exposition in a movie. Yeah.

Yeah. I get it. It's exactly my opinion of your writing as well. I like Jurassic Park.

I've read Jurassic Park. I've read a couple of these things. I've never, it's never really turned me on, has they, say? Well, we're all glad about that.

You most imagine. Rising Sun. Some times. Oh, Chancarnary.

Where's the snopes? Yeah, it is. It is. It's an average movie that I would say.

Only, only made better because it's Chancarnary. Yeah. Yeah. Didn't he write some Andromeda strain as well?

Yes. That's a good movie. Yeah. Yeah.

It is. Terminal Man. Great train robbery. Better movies than, maybe, maybe, he turns like better movies than books.

Yeah, maybe. Yeah. Music by Jerry Goldsmith. And it's a great school.

It is. Yes. I do have something to say about part of it. Oh, right.

Okay. I'm going to get to it. Okay. So, Crichton wrote this film with Chancarnary in mind, to make it as an old style action of adventure.

But apparently, Crichton left the project when he was told he couldn't use a real gorilla. Well, that would be interesting, wasn't it? But, well, why do you think you could use a real gorilla for this film? Do you think he's seen some of those documentaries?

Who was that woman in the 70s that could talk to gorilla? A gorilla is in the mister. Yeah. Maybe he saw that and thought, hmm, that's obviously a thing.

So, maybe we just get the people that can do that and get those kind of gorillas that can do sign language and we'll teach them how to do the lines. Yeah. Yeah. That doesn't sound like all the work.

It doesn't. It's easy. Yeah. Yeah.

I mean, then again, someone taught you to talk. I was waiting for that. I could buy a monkey. And if it speaks about a monkey.

Play a monkey. Yeah. But that'd be typecasting, wouldn't it? If I was around, and I was around in the 70s, but if I was, obviously, older in the 70s, instead of getting that chimpanzee and torturing it inside that suit for Battlestar, they could have just put me in the suit and I could have done exactly the same thing.

Why would they need the suit? I don't know what you're talking about. So, first, Lewis. All right.

Okay. Yeah. Yeah. Both Spielberg and John Carpenter turn down directing gig for this film.

John Carpenter, I can understand why he wouldn't want to do it, but it's right up Spielberg, isn't it? Yeah. It's almost the carbon copy of a Spielberg. Well, is it Frank Marshall one of those Spielberg guys anyway?

Yeah, it's also Kathleen Kennedy's film. Yeah. It just feels like something he would do. Yeah.

Maybe he wanted a real gorilla. Well, he would have had a CGI gorilla, wouldn't he? 1995. Yeah.

Yeah. I guess you could have asked the Jurassic Park. Isn't that what? Actually, one of the things that I've done, one of the little facts that I uncovered is that the producer and director originally wanted to use CGI for the gorillas, but they opted for in-camera models and prosthetics instead because at the time, CG couldn't do her realistically.

That's what I was going to say. Scales is different. It's easy to do that kind of surface. Eventually, this film was made, but with no involvement of Crichton.

I would imagine that he probably found that quite hard. What? Carousek? Well, you know that Amy.

She's a looker. She's not like that. She's not like that. Oh, you like her?

Yeah, she's got a great personality. Do you know, I don't know if you've seen her, but Kennedy's some truly terrible action figures for this film. Yes, I remember those. Yeah.

I think that's probably what put me off watching the movie back then. Oh, there. Idious. Isn't the scale all wrong as well?

There's no scales. It's her. Remember? No, we just discussed this.

No, no, no, no, no, no, no, size. Isn't the scale of Amy completely wrong? She's bigger than the Empire State Building. Who knows different film they were thinking of?

Yeah, I remember those. There's actually terrible. I looked at my line. I was like, oh, okay.

Do you have any other facts and figures? Apparently, this is a strange one. Apparently, lots of people swear that they originally saw a scene in the movie featuring a monkey with a laser gun. Even though none of the versions have ever been released on retail, ever had this in them.

So if it was something that existed, it was only in the theatrical cut. So one of the monkeys grabs the gun that? I guess so. Doctor.

All right. Does that kill people with a laser gun? Yeah, I'll fire an atom and they have to duck or something. I don't know.

But there's lots of people that swear that they saw a scene when they originally saw it in the theatre's that had a monkey with a laser gun. I don't remember that scene and I saw it at the cinema. Oh, maybe it's one of those things where people just remember it completely differently than what it actually is. The guerrilla effects were all created by Stan Winston.

Yeah. And I think that Amy is fantastic. It's a fantastic suit and a fantastic prosthetic rig head thing that the person inside the suit's wearing. It's so realistic and you completely believe it.

The other guerrillas in it at the end, not too sure about that I was like to say. The ones that the bag guys? Well, this goes back to what we've discussed before, the first day I realized guerrillas, right? That's supposed to be a species that no one's ever seen before.

Yeah. Yeah. We have talked about it before and I was going to say that I was getting flashbacks and tells with old monkey at one point. Yeah.

Yeah. The ending. Yeah. Yeah.

Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Um, one of the things that Stan Winston didn't like about this movie was that he did try and imbue the guerrillas sculptures with individual personality characteristics.

But then he felt that they all got lost in the limitations of the set and he felt that they weren't lit particularly well as well. Ah, okay. Well, I've not really seen that much. We're not really in it at all until the very end, are we?

All right. So we get the Paramount logo and we hear music that O'Reilly describes the sounds of an African plane. It's golden hour as the sun sets and in the twilight ostriches run across the horizon. The credits appear in a simple yellow font titled Congo fades in yellow and blue and in silhouette underneath we have the horizon with Jeeps driving from left to right.

It's nicely done. It is very nicely done. At one point I did think I was watching the Lion King for a second before the Congo logo came up. It does sound a lot like the Lion King with music.

Yeah. I guess it does. It's very, uh, Stereotypical life for complaint music. It is.

Yeah. Yeah. The Jeeps make the way past a confusion of wildebeest, a pride of lions and a tower of giraffes. Very good.

Someone's been doing research there. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.

Yeah. Yeah. Heard of elephants, a decade of piles. There's only one.

Are we? All thankful about that. I said you, you'd like the bit more of you. One you can send out to work.

Oh, yeah. I thought that. Oh, yeah. Yeah.

Yeah. See your face? Sort of like. Yeah.

That's a good idea. I like that. Yeah. Well, seriously, develop cloning.

I could send you one. I could send you one, Colin. So that you've got one there in New York with you. No, you need to stop cloning around.

Don't, don't, don't start. I'm not going to do it. I'm not going to do it. These explorers are like, wait.

Yeah. You could send me one. I could just punch you repeatedly the face. That make you feel better.

Yeah. Yeah. Take it all the way I go. I thought that's what I was in here for anyway.

But why? No, that's why. Just take it on. Make your pardon?

Yeah. I started a bit aggressive, didn't it? It did. Yeah.

I did it back a bit, Colin. These explorers leave their jeeps and on foot make their way for a small village then towards a mountain. Oh, who is this we see? Why?

A group is led by Retrospection favorite, Bruce Kumbel. Yeah. I was completely shocked by this. Did you know that apparently he auditioned for the part of Dr Elliot and he didn't get it?

He got this instead. Yeah. Actually, he would have been better as Dr Elliot. You think so?

I think. Yes, because you don't know the script would have probably changed to coming over his style. Yeah. So assuming the character wouldn't have been the same.

But I think that will work because the problem with this film is everyone else is better than that main character. Not dissing the actor, but it just doesn't have a very good character. Yeah, that's true. That's true.

He's a bit bland, isn't he? Yeah. And I think the fact that it was Bruce Kumbel would have changed that, and it would have elevated that. The actor playing Dr Elliot, he plays Lois Lane's father in this Superman Lois TV show that's currently on the CW.

No, he's not on the CW. He's on PPO Max, isn't it? Can't. I don't know.

No. Yeah. But Bruce Kumbel, yeah. He's definitely a favourite of ours, isn't he?

Yeah. And in this he plays Charles Travis. So quickly, top three Bruce Kumbel performances go. Well, one with his wife.

No, cinematic. Oh, cinematic. Well, so we've got to go for the evil dead one, isn't we? Definitely.

Oh, I like Bobo Hotep. That one's one of my favourites. Like Mark. That's a really fun movie as well, isn't it?

Yeah. All right. So that's two. It's hard to think of what he's been.

You want to name some? Well, my top three would be Ash, obviously, in the evil dead movies. And then he's got, he gives a fantastic before he's done a lot of bad movies, but he's fantastic in them. And two, two that I really like are, there's a film called Moon Trap with Walter Coney.

Oh, yeah. Yeah. That's a terrible film. It's a terrible film, but he's fantastic in it.

Okay. And there's another movie called Sundown, The Vampire in Retreat, that stars David Carradine, retrospective favourite David Carradine, which is a wonderful film. And Bruce Campbell plays, it's a vampire western, kind of tongue in cheek as well. Right.

And Bruce Campbell plays the descendant of Van Helsing. Yeah. But the gag is that he's completely useless. He's Bruce Campbell, basically.

Yeah. I also like, I'll say I like the evil dead TV series he did. But he also like Jack of all trades. Yes, that show is good.

Yeah. And is it, Briscoe County, Junior? Is that right? Briscoe County, Junior.

Yeah. No, Briscoe County, Junior. Yeah. That's good too.

Yeah. That was another, that was another Sam Raimi TV show. Thanks. Oh, yeah.

Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, he's definitely favourite of that. So the Clamperover arc is still reaching the base of Mount Bochenco, at Diamond Volcano in the Veronga mountains of the Congo.

Well done. They make camp. We cut to a low armative earth and a satellite floating by the name Travert Carvikar is on the satellite. This is a good old Jerry Goldsmith so I've dusted it off a nice stertrip piece for the music here.

Yeah. He must have just gone, oh, uh, space. Yeah, for all this one in. I got, I can't be doing it.

I've got palm pipes everywhere. Still works, though. Still works. Oh, yeah.

Nothing wrong with it. We've got to Houston, Texas and a field of large satellite dishes. There's a siren going off and a voice calls out for Dr Ross saying they have satellite from the Congo. Wait, why would you have a siren for this?

Yeah, no. I don't know why. Oh my god. Oh my god, there's a siren.

Quick back. Stop. What are you going? It just means the kettle spoiled.

Maybe it was a shot that was still alive. Well, they don't know anything's wrong at this point. Well, actually, maybe they did not hurt from them for a few days, though. Oh, right.

Maybe. Yeah, still seems rather extreme for just video. Oh, it is. No, it definitely is.

Oh, look. When you scap me, I have a similar sound. I'm flashing red lights. Dr Ross hurries to the communications room with Rudy, the travel comm security.

Rudy says it's been made to change security every hour now. And currently it's Rudy, Rudy, Rudy. Yeah. That's from something, isn't it?

Is it? Yeah, isn't it? It's from the movie, isn't it? Yeah, we just, it's called Congo.

We watched it. No. Busy peas tonight. For dinner.

I'm not quite there yet. Oh, OK. No, it's from a, I think it's from a, um, for a career grant movie. Oh.

Yeah. All right. Well, anyone more intelligent knows? They can email us unless, unless now.

Yeah. Tell us how wrong we are. Yeah. Dr Ross is told that Charles has found the right place.

The video link is secured and Charlie appears. There's a greet each other at Earth Quaker Coors in the Congo, but Charles doesn't seem too bothered. But he jokes about not wanting to build condos there. Travis reveals that he's found chemically flawless blue alluvia.

And was that a thing? That's sand, gravel, sediments. OK. Kind of thing.

Luvium, usually calm. This is my career, Colin. He puts it into a phasic laser as a demonstration. The point is that it's going to be pretty rough without a real diamond.

It fires and ignites some planets. Yeah. So that's a huge forest fire that decimates the entire country, but it's fine. They've invented a laser.

So that's all right. Yeah, that's fine. You know, now you're just asking yourself if you put the fire out. They found the Olivia wash down in a stream.

So one of his associates, Geoffrey, is gone to search for the stars. He suggests they relink in an hour. Dr. Ross asks for his coordinates, but Charles breaks the connection before answering.

But Charles goes and finds Geoffrey. He's excited by his discovery. He's standing on a small cliff top overlook in a lagoon. He tells Charles to jump in.

Then leaps into the water himself. Charles follows. They swing for a narrow opening and a rock wall. And on the other side, they discover more jungle, but with ancient statues, buildings.

Now, when he gets in the name Geoffrey, the only thing that could come into my head every time was Rainbow. Or he's like climbing through and he crawls through and there's this bongol and what's that hippo's name? No, Geoffrey's the guy, isn't he? Um, do you have bongol?

Zippy? No, bongol is the hippo. No, no, bongol is the burr. Are you sure?

Yeah. All right. Uh, Zippy, George, was it George? Yes, George.

Anything, yes. So they're just on the other side. Rob, Jane and Freddie. No, would you?

Oh, sorry. I thought you said what I'd rather Jane and Freddie. Didn't know what you meant? It's weird, like what'd you be using?

Uh, yeah, Rob, Jane and Freddie. Yeah. Bongol, Zippy and George. They did an adult version, didn't they, at one point?

Yeah, a rude one. Yes. I've seen clips of it. Definitely up our feet.

Yeah. Well, okay. We should take it out sometime. That would have been fun if they had crawled through there.

I found those for a week. They would have been more return up than Bruce Campbell as well. I have to say. Yeah, surprisingly.

Yeah. So another earthquake occurs. Charles tells Geoffrey's that they'll have to get another team in here to explore. Geoffrey's agrees and heads into the vegetation to grab his bag.

The cutback to Texas. Now, RB Travis arrives on a golf cart clutching a golf club. He's the boss of Travis Cobb. He's a James Bond connection as well.

He is a major James Bond connection because he played. He played Brad Whitaker in Living Daylights. And he also played someone else in Golden Eye that I can't actually remember the name of the character. And he's in Tomorrow Never Dies as well.

I'll play the same character, yes. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.

Is he the only actress who played the main Bond villain and then switched to play a good guy? I can't think of any others. It's a weird idea. And actually, we're not even a long time between those films.

I guess there was because of the delay in making it just a good idea. Yeah. Yeah. But I suppose it's no stranger than the idea of every time Bond goes to see figure-licks as a different figure-licks apart from one.

Ah, yeah. Because you got to remember, these are the days when we didn't have to have everything in a universe. Exactly. Yeah.

Yeah. It does make you wonder how they're going to approach a new James Bond once a Daniel Craig hangs it up. Ideally, they shouldn't approach it. They should just carry on and do whatever they've been doing.

But they won't because they're not going to. Yeah. They're going to come up with some nonsense. Yeah.

And I get the feeling that this Daniel Craig movie is going to wrap up his story so that there's nowhere to go for that particular Bond effort. I don't know. I'm sick of this universe idea. I'm sick of this universe.

I'm glad you said I did at the end of it. I'm tired of living. I know, it's not that bad. It's not even moving.

It is. So Dr. Ross tells him what Charles has found. Travis excited because we die on things like that.

They can dominate the communications industry overnight. Yeah. Because you know, laser communications. Yeah, no, I get it.

Yeah. You sure? No. No.

Okay. Back in the Congo, Charles just gave up with waiting for Jeffries. It's been a long time. He breaks up with some food.

And an object falls alongside him. So now you're throwing stuff at me. He picks the object up. It's a flooded human eye.

He eats it. No, he doesn't. That would be a turn up, isn't it? No, no, no.

It's an eye. Not turn it. I don't like that. That's a different kind of food.

Like a pickled onion. Juicy. Yeah. There's a growling sound and he turns something at projects in my Charles screen.

It's a great screen. It's a little dead screen, isn't it? Look on his face as well. It's very ash.

Back at Travis' column, they've been waiting for Charles to call them. They turn on the auto remote. The camera pans around the campsite revealing the bloody bodies of the research team. So if they got an auto remote, they didn't really need to wait for him to call.

They could have called him. That is true. Maybe they only just remembered that they got an auto remote. Or maybe someone has to turn it on on the campsite, but then it's not an auto remote as if.

Yeah, you're thinking about things too much again. OK. My logic moves across the view at Groud. Dr Ross asked for a thermal scan.

It reveals seven dead people. There's an animal like screaming and the camera is knocked over showing the open face of somebody. It's quite graphic as well, isn't it? One of the bodies on pretty, one of the bodies on pretty sure he's got his intestines hanging out.

Oh, they're just partying? Well, hanging. Have a few drinks, you know. Yeah.

Yeah. Yeah. No, it's pretty full on. The way you like it.

I'm guessing that this was a PG or a 12 when it came out. I don't know what it is. No. Yeah, I can't remember what it was.

It must have been. Yeah. I would say PG or a 12 in the UK. Probably a PG 13 in the States maybe.

Yeah, that makes sense. Dr Ross says she'll get help, but can't get out because Travis has changed the code. He violently smashes the monitor of a golf club causing it to flame, but he won't give the code out. He's in damage control.

He doesn't want anybody to know what has happened. Not even his wife, who is, Charles Mover. Yes. They try to figure it out.

Was it baboons? Gorillas? Tribal people? Arrival company?

Parle, inviting the bear bill? What was it? Don't find me on that. Dr Ross has no time for Travis' corporate delusions, but he yells at her.

I need those diamonds. It's the future. Most people think it's the children that are future, she replies. Travis continues, but 10,000 people depend on me, and this technology will be her cash cow.

The diamonds are the only thing that will keep the company going. Charles knew that, and that's why he went. Dr Ross says Charles went to please him. Then she realizes she's talking about him as if he's dead.

And it's revealed that Dr Ross almost married Charles. Travis says that she'll have to go to the Congo and find out what happened, because she's good in the field. Yes. The order's really to find...

No, no, no, no, no. The order's really to find an existing expedition and take it over. Time is imparstant, because if what's happened becomes public, Zayia will close the borders. She has to tell her that he loves his sod, and that's why he's sending her.

He says she does. But she says, if any moment she thinks that that's not true, then she will make him sorry. That might come back later. Yes, we'll find out.

I think this is an example of how to write a female character well, I think. Bingo. Yes, totally agree. Yeah.

Yeah. Yeah. She's not... She's strong.

She takes charge. She doesn't need to be like Marley Koddle by man, but yet she's not horrible or nasty about it. Exactly. Exactly.

She's not a Mary Sue either. She's not an expert ever in the world, just because she is. Right. You know, she doesn't know everything, but what she does know, she's good at.

She's an expert in her field. And yeah, I completely agree what you just said. So we got to Berkeley, California. He seemed to be in a kind of infants classroom.

The wall is filled with paintings of the same kind of image. Green foliage and yellow eye. Sorry. I just sort of the camera like all this wall full of hand paintings.

You're like, you're in an infant school, and then it just pans to the right, and you're just sat in the floor and your pants. And your finger painted your face. Well, I'm not saying it couldn't happen. I mean...

It's just a matter of time, right? Oh, it takes us one good night. Oh, one bad day. I don't know.

The bad day comes after the good night, College. You know this. Oh, that's true. That's true.

That's what you are, age. Yeah. So you hear somebody telling a person called Amy to paint on the paper, and as the camera pans across it's revealed, that Amy is a gorilla. Fantastic gorilla.

Fantastic. So it's amazing. Loved it. Yeah.

Actually, you care about Amy, right? You... Within about a minute of seeing this, you forget that it isn't real. You know, it's got to put...

Right. She's got a personality. You know, it just feels like a character. Yeah.

Absolutely. And with the gorilla is Richard. Now, Dr. Peter Elliot enters.

Amy is pleased to see him and jumps into his arms. Richard tells him that Amy had a great night, no nightmares. He tells Richard to clean her up. It's Showtime.

Later, Peter's given a presentation about sign language and converting her signals into audible speech. Amy is brought in. She's kind of backpacking as an AM device. She gets Peter flowers.

Amy does sign language and is converted into speech, but the audience is stunned. One of the audience members though is Othefarts. This is Herkima Homoka. He takes out a ring from an old book.

The ring is an iron. It's similar to the ones that Amy has been drawing. I'd take Tim Curry anything, wouldn't you? Wonder what he was going to say.

I'd take a ring any day or something. Yep. Yep. I mean, this has really good actors in it, who seem to be enjoying the roles they're playing, especially one person who's coming later.

Oh yes, yes. I've got, yeah. We'll talk about him when he appears. Tim Curry specializes.

I think it was a period, wasn't it? I think it was in the 90s where Tim Curry specialized in playing these kind of roles, these kind of slightly sleazy over-the-top bad guy type people. Oh, this is a cracking accent. That's how they do it.

Yeah, it is. Yeah. Yeah. So we got to Amy crying after having a nightmare.

She's panicking. They have to sedate her. Peter points out that she was getting better when she started drawing. He looks around the room, filled with the paintings and realizes that the place is starting to resemble a jungle.

Peter goes to the college president and tells him that he thinks Amy wants to go home. But the president doesn't want Peter set up free because of Amy, they can get grants. Peter tells him that Amy could teach the mounting gorillas how to sign, but the president refuses to pay for the expedition. Without wording, so I got- Isn't teaching gorillas an age how to talk?

I mean, isn't that a point of the age side? I mean, they haven't thought this through, are they? No, no, it's the beginning of the downfall. It is.

They're up in the whole kind of worms, they don't want to touch, really. Yeah, we must have such a kind of worms. You take everything literally. Yes.

You do. Oh, do you literally take everything? Well, I literally take everything literally. Okay, good to know.

Without warning, her commander appears and says he will pay time. Amy returns to the Congo and be set free. Richard agrees. Amy is going home.

Because Amy looking at a 3D book of the jungle she's excited about going. At the airport, they're getting ready to bar. Dr Ross turns off as Peter's preparing Amy. She has to join them.

I mean, she keeps asking him, but Peter doesn't want to come along, apparently because Amy gets jealous. Yeah, doesn't she keep calling an ugly woman or something? Yeah. Yeah, she does.

Yeah, she does. Meanwhile, the back of the channel is upset at taking the luggage off the plane. Peter doesn't know why. Her commander appears and tells Peter not to be too hasty about Dr Ross and also tells him that they're unloading the plane because he can't afford to pay for the fuel.

Dr Ross offers to pay. Peter says, no, no, no, no, I'll pay. And the fuel is $56,000. Oh, she'll pay.

What happens? Well, she's got deep, well, the boss has got deep pockets. That's right. Yeah.

So she says you need me. So we got to the plane taking off. Dr Ross has joined him after all. Amy is entapi and as you said, she keeps referring to Dr Ross's ugly woman.
