• [Mertons has been repeatedly wheezing, hiccuping, and wheezing again since he and Wilbanks had been stranded on the ledge] 

  Francis X. Wilbanks : Stop the wheezing, will you? Please stop the wheezing! First you wheeze, then you hiccup, then you wheeze again! You're enough to drive anybody nuts!

  Mertons : Oh, I am, am I?

  Francis X. Wilbanks : Yes!

  Mertons : Well, you're my boss. Maybe I shouldn't say this, but you've been complaining ever since we've been up here. If you don't like the way I wheeze and hiccup, why don't you go find your own ledge to stand on?

  [Wheezes again] 

  Francis X. Wilbanks : What?

• [a helicopter is approaching the stranded Wilbanks and Mertons] 

  Mertons : Maybe they're coming to rescue us.

  Francis X. Wilbanks : They're not coming to rescue us. That's our news helicopter.

  Mertons : You mean our own network is taking pictures of us?

  Francis X. Wilbanks : That's exactly what I mean.
