[Four weeks after being rescued at sea after four years on the island, Chuck is being flown home to Memphis on a private FedEx jet with Stan]
Forty-five minutes. [hands Chuck a Dr. Pepper and two cups of ice] One Dr. Pepper, two cups of ice.
Well, here's the drill. Um, plane pulls in, we get off, and there's a little ceremony right there in the hangar. Fred Smith will say a few words, all you have to do is smile and say "thank you", then we'll take you over to see Kelly.
She's actually gonna be there, huh?
Well, that's what we have arranged. I mean, if you're sure you want to do that...
Oh, yeah, yeah. Yes. I don't know what I'm gonna say to her. What in the world am I gonna say to her?
[sighs]
Chuck, Kelly had to let you go. You know? She thought you were dead... and we buried you. We had a funeral and a coffin and a gravestone, the whole thing.
You had a coffin? What was in it?
Well, everybody put something in. You know, just a cell phone or a beeper, some pictures. I put in some Elvis CDs.
So you had my funeral... and then you had Mary's funeral. Stan, I'm so sorry I wasn't around when Mary died. I should've been there for you, and I wasn't. I'm so sorry.
