Ski Patrol (1990) Movie Script
1
Cramer, Snowy Peaks
isn't big enough for the both of us.
Then I guess
we'll just have to deflate your head, Lance.
Ready,
set,
go.
We'll meet again, Cramer.
Gee, I can't wait.
It's such a pleasure skiing with you, Lance.
Hi. Give you a push, ma'am?
Would you?
Sure.
Thanks.
Come on, Dumpster.
Come on. That's it.
Okay!
Look at you. Come on.
Hey, Jerry.
Hey! Come on, let's go.
We'll go over there. Come on.
Welcome back.
Santa. Girls.
How's business?
I hate snow.
Maris, I hope you didn't ask me down
here to talk about the weather.
No, I asked you
down here to talk about money, my friend.
What kind of money
do you make at Snowy Peaks?
$200 a pop for privates.
How would you like to make
10 times that amount?
Maybe more. Here's a preview.
Maristown!
-My friend...
-What do you want to do?
...I've got such plans for this valley.
Just another ski lodge?
No, no, no. That's penny ante.
That's dime a dozen.
This is a major destination resort.
This could be the biggest
money-making machine of all time if...
If what?
If Snowy Peaks is mine!
I'd love to dream
with you, pal, but I got an 11:00.
Are you saying
you're perfectly happy with Snowy Peaks?
There's nothing about it you would change?
Not the ski patrol? Not Jerry Cramer?
What's he got to do with this?
Well...
Everybody knows
you two just don't get along that well.
You want him out of here
and I want Snowy Peaks.
Two birds...
...one stone.
But you know Pop Sandrich will never sell.
He won't have to.
His 40-year lease with the park commission
is up for renewal.
And if he should have
a couple of major violations,
oh, son of a gun, you know he could lose it?
Poor Pops.
Well...
I guess my 11:00 can wait.
And, you know,
what if Pops does lose his lease?
I just might have to
make you prince of Maristown.
There won't be any room for Jerry Cramer.
Hey, old timer!
Old timer?
Boy, you're just lucky the doc says
no more skiing on these knees,
or I'd tan your hide in a run down K-7.
Glad to have you back, Jerry.
Glad enough to pay me the overtime you
owe me from last season?
Well, I had to make sure
you'd come back, didn't I?
Look at this place, Jerry. Look at it!
Don't open for two days
and it's already jammed.
Hey, Pops, while I'm here,
I'm gonna run these up to the bar.
Yeah, thataboy. Take 'em up there. Yeah.
Hey, Pops, Stan gave me a ride over here
and I didn't want to ask him so I'll ask you.
Is he gonna try out for the patrol again?
Yep.
All right, I'll keep an eye on him.
Amongst other things.
That niece of mine is quite a woman.
See you later, son.
Do your stuff.
Wait a minute! Stop!
Oh, no, Dumpster!
He's not moving. Help me, someone!
Is he... Is that blood? What is that?
Jerry, I am so sorry. I didn't see him.
Is there anything I can do?
Well, you... You can just...
Hold me.
And comfort me all night.
-All night?
-All night.
This dog does not need a vet, Jerry,
he needs a little black coffee. He is drunk.
And he was doing so well on the program.
You know, he's pretty cute,
but what are you
hanging around with such a mutt for?
He's not a mutt.
I was talking to the dog.
-Hey, Stan.
-Hey, Jerry. How's it going?
-Okay.
-Hi, Dumpster.
What've you got there?
It's Thera-Band. It's brand new.
They're putting it in all the first-aid kits.
See? It stretches but it doesn't break.
I'm just using it
to beef up my forearms for recertification.
I'm gonna make it this year.
Good.
Now that I can dance
Watch me now
Now work it out, y'all
Now, now, now, now,
you are driving me crazy now, now, baby
Just a little soul now, y'all
Help me, Stevie!
Work it out, baby
You're driving me crazy
Just a little bit of soul now
Help me, Michael.
I do mashed potatoes
I can do the twist
Tell me, brothers
Can you moonwalk like this?
Eddie Murphy!
Come on, y'all,
what you wanna tell me now?
Y'all are gonna tell me now. Come on.
Can y'all tell me now?
Do you love me now?
Do you love me now?
Do you love me?
Now that I can dance
Iceman!
Ice! Ice!
Jerry, what's happening, boy?
What's going on there?
-Good to see you! How you doin'?
-Nice!
Yo, tell me something, man,
is that a perm or what?
Hey, man, it's natural beauty.
Don't make jokes, all right?
-All right, it's cool.
-Is that your new toy?
Toy? Toy?
$529.99 plus tax. Toy?
Look here, baby, this is my key to the top.
Let me tell you something.
After this season, it's goodbye
Snowy Peaks, hello Caesar's Palace.
You know what I'm saying?
So, naturally, the Iceman...
Uh-oh.
Gang way! Clear out!
Four, three, two, one!
Here's Eddie!
Hey!
Welcome back, my boy!
Martinez! Martinez!
Martinez! Marti... Martinez!
Just because you're the explosives expert
does not mean you can just blow in here
in that hot rod, is that clear?
Hey, Myron, buddy!
I brought you something for your bullhorn.
Get down!
You crazy, man.
Look, the Ranchero!
A few more mascots
than last year, huh, guys?
Yeah, what do you know?
They followed me
from my apartment in New York.
I get no respect!
Uh, I tell ya, anybody got a cat?
Hey, man, you need...
You need to work on that.
Same room?
Same room, bro.
Okay, come on.
Hey, did you hear
what happened to me last summer?
I read about it!
Long as we don't have to
test it on those mice.
Whoa! Whoa!
Damn.
Hey.
Man, it's 4:30 in the morning.
This is lame.
You know Murray.
Since he's director,
he has to play everything official.
Yeah.
Hey, Ice, how come
you're not complaining?
Ice?
Ice!
Man, you woke me up.
Man, I was just having a dream.
Me and Rhonda were just getting ready...
All right, can I have your attention, please?
Thank you.
It is with great pleasure
that I introduce to you
your guiding light for the next few months.
Let's all say hello to our director,
Murray Tuttle!
What in the Sam Hill did I trip...
Whose dog is this?
It's mine. Handsome hound, isn't he, Murr?
Cramer, I hate dogs. I...
See, I am allergic to dogs.
Hey, but he loves you, Murr.
Get him out of here!
Now, every...
Everybody listen up!
Listen up.
Inspector Crabitz of the park service
decides who makes this team,
but you bozos got to get past me first.
So for those of you who've been wasting
my time for seven years,
it's a full-fledged tryout.
Now...
This season, I'm very pleased to say
that visiting us from a foreign country
is someone very special.
This sweet young lady's
name is Tiana Chechornia.
Uh, Czeckornia.
Isn't that something?
Now she is
an exchange patroller from Bratslavea.
Bratislava.
Shut up, Myron!
She's here to study our techniques.
So don't make me look stupid.
Is that clear to everybody?
All right.
Let's see what you got.
-All right!
-All right.
Okay, let's go.
Meet you later, guys. Bye.
-Hey, Murray?
-What?
Me and the boys got you a gift.
Well, isn't it my lucky day?
"Algiers watussi growth formula."
Right, yeah. Ha, ha.
Hey, Murray,
we're just trying to help, okay?
We know
you have a complex about your height.
I don't have a complex about my height!
The only thing complex around here
is how I'm gonna
get you nitwits through recertification!
Get out of here.
Wha... Hey, look. Look.
Does this... Does this stuff really work?
Murray, it works.
All right, let's go!
Okay, guys, pay attention.
This is our 75mm recoilless rifle.
It's our avalanche buster.
What do you people think this is, a fiesta?
There are too many people up there.
Now one of you, come on down.
Come on, let's go.
Stan, Stan.
Stanley, son,
I believe the same thing
happened last year, didn't it?
Well, actually, it was two years ago.
Okay. Shooting the hole
is the toughest run on the mountain.
Now I want y'all to be careful,
but I want to see some speed down there!
Sending down the first one. Go for it.
Nice job! Eddie, you're up.
Here comes number two.
Look, for some reason,
I just can't shoot the hole.
Look, all you need is confidence, Stanley.
You can do it.
Yeah, man, just relax. Chill out.
You see, shooting the hole
is just like making love.
I've never made love.
Good luck.
Here comes number three. Go for it, man.
See you at the bottom.
Oh, God.
Oh, God.
Oh, no.
Oh, my God!
Oh, no!
Oh, God!
There goes his family life.
Oh, no!
All right, everybody in!
Martinez...
Good work.
Iceman...
Thank you very much, Mr. Tuttle.
My mom
is gonna appreciate this very much.
She's gonna love it.
-Thank you, sir.
-Good work.
Lord, 911!
911! Somebody call the ambulance!
That's funny.
That's brilliant. That's real funny.
You know, Iceman, I bet you're gonna win
that Poolitzer Prize for humor.
It's Pulitzer.
Shut up, Myron.
Where's Cramer?
Murr?
Don't sneak up on me, boy.
Kind of like a general, huh, Murr?
Yeah, like a general pain in the butt.
Now, listen, Cramer,
with seniority comes something special.
-The R word?
-Yes, Cramer!
The R word. Responsibility, Cramer.
Goes for all of you! Responsibility.
Now please don't let me down...
What the...
Murr, looks like you made a new friend.
Get that beast out of here, Cramer.
And I mean it! Or I'm...
I'm gonna turn on you like a mother-in-law.
Here... And another thing.
Get these... These vermin out of here.
Cramer, this is against health regulations.
Catch my drift, son? Get 'em out of here.
All right, everybody out.
Come on. Everybody out.
What do you want?
A gold pin. Did I pass?
A gold pin?
You want a gold pin, do you?
Well, let me...
Let me put it this way, Stanley.
Son, I hope
you can shovel better than you ski.
I'm so sorry, Stanley.
That... That's okay.
Same thing happened last year.
I guess I should be
getting used to it by now.
I know how much
you wanted to be on the patrol.
I wish you could be.
Well, if they ever start a shovel patrol,
I'll definitely be in charge of that.
Thanks anyway, Tiana.
Girl stood on the burning deck...
Who the hell is parked in my spot?
Hi.
The band and me
were just jamming for the talent show.
Kind of loud, but loud's best, right, man?
Yeah, right, yeah.
Look here, little mister,
you get this
oversized trash compactor out of here
or I'm gonna tear you...
What'd that guy want?
Well, he wants to come in.
Let him in!
They say come on in.
-Who?
-Them, the band.
-Who?
-They want to meet you.
I don't know who you're...
They're right over there.
-Who?
-Come on in.
Oh, my Lord.
Meet the band.
This is Buried.
If you want us to leave, we will, kind sir.
The guys call me Suicide.
I play drums.
And over here, the wizard of the keyboards.
This is Slaughter.
You want trouble, you got trouble!
He likes you. No, I don't!
He's a little temperamental.
Would you like to hear some of our music?
-No, thank you, that's...
-Great! That's great.
Shut it off!
Shut it...
...off.
That's music, huh?
And this is our inspiration.
Rocket skis!
Speed, thrills and fun!
See, with these, we'll taste death, live life.
Hold on there a minute, little buddy boy.
You use rocket skis on my slopes,
and the only thing you, you and you
are gonna be tasting
is my foot in your face.
Do you read me?
Like a comic book.
Like a biker magazine!
Like Vogue.
Son, did anybody ever tell you
you're a few sandwiches short of a picnic?
Okay, great. You guys are doing great.
Brooke, keep your edges in, okay?
Your inside edges. Good.
Cindy, you're awesome.
Look at you!
What do we think?
I think I want to go home.
You, candy ass,
we can't take you anywhere!
Hey, come on, guys, don't fight, all right?
All right, let's just go for it!
Yeah.
So what are we waiting for?
Let's shred this hill!
He's right. Taste death, live life!
Yeah!
Oh, no!
Looks like someone to play with.
Then let's play hardball.
Look out, no brakes!
Excuse me!
Out of the way!
I love it!
This is better than sex!
Hey!
What's that guy
doing up here with a snowboard?
What's he doing with our sign?
Then let's go nail the sucker!
Come on, man.
Hey, guys, we crossed the finish line first!
Oh, no!
Hey, Ice, how about
the old clothes-line trick?
Let's do it.
Unreal!
I think I wet my pants!
Coming through!
Honey, you got anything to cool this down?
Oh, no!
Thanks.
That's great, you guys.
You're doing great. Keep it up.
That's good.
Hey, you're gonna kill yourself!
I am!
You idiot!
Sorry. This is my first time.
Wait! What's that?
What's what?
That! That! It looks like a rope!
Damn, man, don't pull so hard.
We're gonna eat it!
No!
I'm so sorry, Mr. Patrolman.
Sorry, my ass!
Taste death, live life.
Let's get Larry, Moe and Curly out of here.
Yeah. All right, come on.
Thank you.
Thanks.
Hey. How are you?
It's good to see you.
It's good to see you again.
All right, fellas, listen up.
Remember, time is money.
Keep those unprofitable
group lessons short
and always be
on the lookout for ass grabbers.
Ass grabbers, sir?
Rich, middle-aged women.
You grab their ass and they'll
practically beg you to take their money,
among other things.
-Hi.
-How you doing?
Hi, how are you?
Right, left, right, left...
-Stop!
-Hold it!
Ready on the right?
Ready on the left?
Ice?
All set, Jerry.
Free for all!
Old man rhythm standing in my shoes
No need sitting or singing the blues
So be my guest
What the hell is that?
Won't you let me take you on a sea cruise?
Ooh-ee
Ooh-ee, baby, ooh-ee
Ooh-ee, baby
Ooh-ee
Ooh-ee, baby
Won't you let me take you on a sea cruise?
Feel like jumpin', baby,
won't you join me, please?
I don't mind begging
but now I'm on bended knees
I got to get the rocking,
get my hat off the rack
That was great!
Be my guest, you got nothing to lose
Won't you let me take you on a sea cruise?
Ooh-ee
Ooh-ee, baby, ooh-ee
Yeah, ooh-ee, baby, ooh-ee
Ooh-ee, baby
Won't you let me take you on a sea cruise?
I gotta get to the rockin', baby, I ain't lying
My heart is beating rhythm
and it's right on time
So be my guest, you got nothing to lose
Won't you let me take you on a sea cruise?
Ooh-ee
Ooh-ee, baby, ooh-ee
Ooh-ee, baby, ooh-ee
All right, boys, light 'em up.
Won't you let me take you on a sea cruise?
Won't you let me take you on a sea cruise?
Okay, time to put
a little tarnish on ski patrol's shine.
Maris' plan, phase one.
Hello.
Thanks.
Uh, excuse me, sir? There's a $5 admission.
I guess you don't know who I am.
I'm Sam Maris.
Maris Realty and Home Loan.
I'm usually comp-ed at things like this.
Yes, Mr. Maris, I know who you are,
but you still have to pay $5.
Look, nothing goes on
in this town that I can't just walk right...
What's the trouble, Ellen?
Sandrich, would you
please tell this lady that I'm your guest?
Make him pay.
Don't worry, it's tax-deductable.
Thanks. Have a good time.
No, thank you.
Jeez.
Hey, Stan, my man!
Pull up a chair, dude. Right, Myron?
They said that
this table's only for ski patrollers.
I didn't pass the test.
Are you kidding?
Any man who cleans up after this squad
deserves to be in this squad.
Now sit down, homey,
with your bad coat on.
Thanks.
I'm glad you came.
Thanks.
Here, I brought this for you.
It kind of got squished, but...
For me?
Thank you, Stanley.
Gee.
Can I have your attention, please?
Would you please help me
in giving a warm welcome
to her honor, Mayor Biard?
Thank you.
Forty years ago,
Pop Sandrich
traded his saddle for a pair of skis,
and not only founded this ski lodge,
but our community as well.
Pops, tonight is your night.
Pops, for your 40 years of joy
and caring and community spirit,
the whole town
would like to present you with...
Oh, no. What...
Hey! Hey, those are our mice.
How'd they get here?
-Please don't step on 'em!
-Let's just get 'em!
I'm doing this for the neighborhood.
I got one.
...40th anniversary and I...
Edna.
Inspector Crabitz to you, Sandrich.
Another one!
Now you people know
that mice are against health regulations.
Where the hell'd they come from?
We don't know.
I do.
They're pets.
Of the ski patrol.
Well, pets or no pets,
I'm gonna have to write you a citation.
It's your first one in years, Sandrich.
Better make it your last.
Well, strike one, gentlemen.
Let's make it a quick inning.
Oh, no!
Can I help you, ma'am?
Yes, I lost my contact lens.
Your contact? Where?
Somewhere on this mountain.
Can you help me find it?
Yeah.
Where are we going?
Murray wants
the main trails checked for obstacles.
Okay. I'll go down Badger's Pass.
Okay, I'll take Turner's.
All right.
Guys, can you help me
find my contact lens?
-You bet!
-Yeah, sure, no problem.
Jerr? Jerry? Do you read me?
Jerry, come in!
What's up? Eddie?
Hello?
I got a little problem here.
-He almost killed us!
-This is crazy!
Really!
Come check this out! Hurry up.
Jerr? Make that a big problem.
Keep digging.
Hey, did anybody lose a contact lens?
This bothers me, Eddie. These machines
were overhauled last week.
How could something like this happen?
I don't know, Jerr.
All I know is it was fine yesterday.
Yeah.
Eddie, for God's sakes, you all right?
Yeah, thanks, Pop.
But I think this puppy's history.
Jerry, my God, this really is a mess.
Yeah, it is.
A bigger mess than you think, Sandrich.
Edna. Well...
This is unfortunate.
What's unfortunate
is that Snowy Peaks now
has two major violations against it.
A lousy way to start a season, Sandrich.
And a patrol
that can't keep a mountain safe
ain't gonna be a patrol anymore.
Wait a second, Edna.
These boys are good boys.
They've never let me down before.
Look, I'm warning you people,
any more of this crap,
and I'm gonna close this mountain down.
Edna, we have an impeccable
safety record here.
I'll vouch for these kids.
They... Now, listen!
They are some of
the best patrollers in the state, Edna.
Would you please take this back?
So, hotshot!
This season's barely begun
and you've already blown it.
Well, I...
No! No! You listen to me.
You shape up
or I will baste you like a Butterball.
And don't you think
I can't do it, boy. Shape up!
What the hell did I trip...
All night long
From midnight on
Took my girl to church last night
Let me tell you what she went and done
She stood right up in the preacher's face
And she chewed
her chewing gum all night...
Wait a minute.
Wait a minute.
Wait just a goldarn minute.
Well, slap me silly.
This stuff's really working.
Better not overdo it!
It's... It's really working.
I can't believe it. It's really, really working!
No more "short stuff!"
No more "Mr. Little-Big!"
Here I come.
Hello, darlings.
Iceman, Cramer!
Plunk my tired, weary ass right here.
Go for it, Murr.
Murray, slow down. Okay?
You got to know when to say when.
Shut up.
This stuff makes me sleep like a baby.
Besides, I wanna
tell you boys a little secret.
Because of those pills
that Martinez gave me,
I've grown three inches
in the last two days.
Go on!
I ain't shitting you!
I wouldn't have believed it myself
if I hadn't seen it with my own eyes.
Hey, listen, I can't fit in my own car.
Good. 'Cause you see,
drinking and driving do not mix,
that's why I'm driving you home.
Not yet, you ain't.
I'm gonna find me a big, tall redhead.
I'm gonna get out
on that floor and cut the rug.
Murr, look, alcohol and growth pills
can cause weird
and strange things to happen.
Well, it so happens
that tall people such as myself,
can handle...
Liquor.
I saw this shit in The Exorcist.
Stanley.
Hi!
Hi. I tried to call you
but you have no phone.
I don't need one. Who'd want to call me?
I would. You're very special.
To you, I can talk.
Most American men interested only in sex.
Sex! I'm not interested in that.
Well, I mean, I am, but I wouldn't...
Well, I would, but,
you know, I don't. Well, I...
Would you like to dance?
Dance? No.
Do you know how?
Sure. No, really, I do.
Let's dance.
Come on. Stanley!
Okay, Stanley!
That's my boy, Stan!
Do you always carry champagne with you?
Well, class is my middle name.
I think I'm gonna let this breathe.
Jerry, pour the champagne.
Ellen, you know I'm crazy about you.
Honestly, what do you think of me?
I think you're an immature,
wisecracking ski bum.
No, don't sugarcoat it.
Actually, you're pretty irresistible.
But you should settle down,
start thinking about the future.
Jerry, what are you doing?
Thinking about the future.
I think we should go skiing.
Jerry, what happened?
Jerry? What...
You!
Holy shit.
Holy shit!
I overdid it.
I took too many of these pills.
I'm a frigging giant!
You bastards!
I'm gonna get you, Cramer!
I'm gonna get you!
Now that's what I call dangerous curves.
Terrific! All right.
Excellent. Brenda, you're beautiful.
Okay. Nice angle.
Keep stepping into it. Beautiful!
That's it. Yeah!
Nice. Yeah. Throw your hair back.
All right. Beautiful.
Excellent. Great.
Got to have it.
Yeah.
That was terrific, girls. Thank you.
Now all we've got to do
is take those Snowy Peaks promo shots
we promised Mr. Maris and we'll be done.
Who's Maris?
Excuse me. Coming through.
Look at this.
This is wonderful. Looking good.
-Thanks for coming.
-How you doing?
Good. Just grab a girl up there.
Thanks for coming.
I love it. Let's do it.
Maybe we shouldn't.
Maybe you're right.
Just do it!
Okay. Okay.
We need another guy to even this out.
Here, take this.
Have we got somebody
over here that can even this line out?
Yo, man, you see this guy right here?
This here is the head honcho...
-No, this guy.
-...of ski patrol.
Great. Come on over.
-Here's your man! Go!
-Get over there, man.
-Go on, man. Heard that.
-Yeah.
Thank you. Head honcho, huh?
All right. Right in the center. Grab a girl.
How do you steer this thing?
Who cares? Go faster!
I'm going, I'm going.
I love it!
Okay, you guys are doing so good.
I'm so proud.
Especially you now, Nancy.
I want you to keep your arms up, okay?
And keep your head up
and look over my shoulder, all right?
Damn that guy.
Sheila, wait right here.
I'll be right back, okay?
Hey, idiot!
You're being paged.
I'm no idiot!
Stop this thing before you kill somebody!
I'm hooked up on your binding.
Will you stop?
I'm caught. I'm caught!
Stop this thing, damn it!
Code blue! Slope 10.
It's Ellen attached to runaway ski sailor!
Can you hear me? It's Ellen.
Ellen.
Damn.
Is that better, dear?
Yes, much better.
Much better!
What are you doing?
Hey, ladies, how you doing?
Well, nice chatting with you.
And remember, I'm a professional.
Don't try this at home.
Station 4-A. Stand by with an M-40. Stat!
Jerry! Jerry, help!
Hold on! I'm coming!
Jerry!
Jerry! Hurry up, Jerry!
Jerry.
You okay? Don't ever do that again.
Who was that masked man?
I wanted to thank him.
Gentlemen,
the safety portion of Crabitz's test.
Correction.
An advanced copy
of the safety portion of Crabitz's test.
How'd you get this?
Little wallet-sized pictures of presidents.
With that plus what you guys are gonna do
to the ski patrol's equipment,
there's no way they're gonna pass.
This time tomorrow,
Pops Sandrich will be ancient history.
And Maristown will be born.
And I'll be the proud new papa.
Yeah, well, I just thought of another idea
of ensuring our little bet.
Come on.
How you doing?
I'll tell you, kid,
this is some place to come
shopping with your mom, understand?
Hey.
Hi.
Hey, hey, this stuff.
Perfect.
Hey, Martinez, what's going on?
Yo, Finkmeyer,
what brings you to a hardware store?
Let me guess. Looking for a snap-on tool?
Look, Edward,
I know there's been a lot of bad blood
between the ski patrol and the ski school,
but I really think
it's time to bury the hatchet
and put it all behind us, huh?
Excuse me, Mr. Philips?
Hi.
I hate being the bearer of bad news,
but that ethnic fellow over there,
he's pulling a Frito Bandito number on you.
You go check his pockets,
we'll get the police.
Eddie Martinez in jail?
Martinez? I don't believe it.
Why would he steal?
I don't know, but there must be something
we can do. Now you've got to...
Right.
Okay.
They won't budge on the bail.
Shoplifting? I don't believe it.
We gotta get him out of there.
If you guys
don't pass this inspection tomorrow,
Pops is gonna lose the mountain.
We can't let that happen to him.
And Eddie's got to
set off those explosives tomorrow and...
Yeah, I don't want to hear it.
I don't want to hear it.
How much money do we have?
$412.
There are 25 ski patrollers
and all we have is $412?
That's just beautiful.
Well, I guess
I can hock my singing machine.
Wait a minute.
Yeah, this is it. Hold on.
Yeah, guys, come here. This is it!
Yeah! Check it out.
"Mountain High Bar talent contest."
"Winner take all, $1,000."
Give me this thing. $1,000?
I can do that.
I can do...
Man, I can knock this town on its butt.
Wait, wait, wait, you guys, hold it.
We can't just
walk in there with this machine.
We gotta do something different here.
Yeah, but I got it.
The Iceman has got it.
How about
a singing-and-dancing-
choreographed-rip-you-up duet?
Duet? You're the only
good singer we've got.
You see, with this machine
I can prerecord the other parts,
make it sound any way the Iceman wants.
All we need is a kick-ass dancer.
Oh, no!
Yeah. You can kick some ass.
First time I saw you I said,
"He be kicking some ass."
No, I wasn't kicking anyone's... No.
I had to give you up
But you didn't make it easy
And even though I tried to stay away
I will always
Love you
Thank you.
Michelle Rohl, ladies and gentlemen,
with the score to beat.
For the next act,
could you plug
the output of this machine into your PA?
Yeah, sure.
Now, ladies and gentlemen,
we have a last-minute entry,
one you'll have to see to believe.

Ladies and gentlemen,
I believe we have our winners.
Stanley and the Iceman!
Yes! All right, we did it!
Party! Hey, party!
Ice, Ice, I need the money, man,
to spring Eddie out of jail.
Yeah, all right, man. Go ahead, do it. Do it.
See you later.
Hey, Ice, wait up.
Stanley.
I have never met anyone like you.
I'll bet.
I've been wanting
to do something for a long time
but I needed your permission.
Go ahead.
The lodge has passed every other test.
Now it's up to you people.
Hey, don't worry, Pops. It's in the bag.
Yeah, we got you covered, Pops.
Okay, let's move it.
Hey, hey, Cramer!
I think that's my job. I'm the director.
Okay.
Let's move!
Well, that's the last of 'em.
Pre-fire safety check. Aiming mechanism.
-Check.
-Clear in front?
-Clear in front.
-Clear in the rear?
-Clear in the rear.
-Clear!
Uh-oh.
"Uh-oh" what?
Oh, no!
Man, it don't make sense.
The sight was fine an hour ago.
Now it's 50 degrees off.
I don't know what to say.
Try "goodbye."
Because as of 5:00 today,
this mountain is closed.
Ladies and gentlemen, everybody,
may I have your attention for a moment?
No cowboy can stay on a bronc forever.
And 40 years is a good long ride.
What I'm trying to say is
Snowy Peaks has lost its lease.
And the park officials
have revoked your patrol licenses.
And for the good of the valley,
I've decided to
sell to Sam Maris.
I love you all. I know how hard you've tried,
but we just came up a day late
and a dollar short.
I know this is as
much a shock to you as it is to me,
so take your time
cleaning out your belongings.
You got half an hour
to get off the mountain.
Move. Move.
Don't worry about it, man. It'll be all right.
Just chill out, okay?
Need a suitcase, Cramer?
Lance, just lay off.
It's a little early for vultures, isn't it?
This one wanted to
pick while the meat was fresh.
Hey, come on! Come on.
Anytime, Cramer.
It's all right, man.
I'm really sorry about this, boys.
But you're all good patrollers
and you'll find a new lodge.
New lodges, but not new homes.
Pops, don't you see
someone pulled a fast one on us?
What are you saying, son?
We've been sabotaged!
Someone went to a hell of a lot of
trouble to make sure we'd fail
and kick us out of here.
Yeah, but who'd do that?
Hey, guys, come here.
Check this out. Come here.
Come here, look at this.
Check it out over here.
He did take
the duty roster from the locker room.
Yeah, somebody moved the Howitzer sight,
screwed up all our machines.
Pops?
I don't think, I know.
I just don't know how to prove it.
I'm gonna have a little talk with Mr. Maris.
Maris, we've got to talk.
It's about
how you sabotaged this mountain.
I sabotaged this mountain?
You're out of your mind, old man.
Taste death, live life!
Maybe we shouldn't.
Shut up, geek! It's showtime!
Holy shit!
This is an $800 jacket.
You still own this mountain,
you're gonna pay for it.
You got any napkins in this dump?
Back away, Maris!
Back away! This thing's ready to go!
-Get out!
-I can't!
Please stop! Hey, get me out of here!
I'm stuck on a goddamned
runaway weenie! Hey!
Let's do it!
Somebody do something!
Get me loose! Please!
Somebody!
Hey, Pops, hop on and hold on tight.
We about to do our thing!
Let's go!
Somebody get me out of here!
Hey, please, get me out of here!
But I want a hot dog. I want a hot dog!
You're not gonna get one.
They don't even have hot dogs here.
Hey! Stop this thing, somebody! Anybody!
I'm a very important person, you hear me?
Stop it!
Hey! Hey, somebody get me out of here!
Hey! Hey!
Help!
Wait a minute. Wait.
Wait. Tiana, stop, stop.
Can you hear me? I'm stuck!
-Tiana, come here.
-I'm stuck down here.
Help!
Somebody's got to help me!
Murray.
Help! Somebody help me, please!
Anybody up there?
Hey, get me up from here!
Quiet. Loud noise can cause an avalanche.
Then, hurry up.
I'm going to traverse down.
Wait, wait, we don't have the proper rig.
I have an idea.
Help.
Help.
Eddie, tie this on.
Ice, give me your lifeline.
No, man, I'll do it.
No, no, no, no.
I'll do it.
Pops, no, you're not.
You sure you can handle it?
You bet your ass I can handle it.
Give me that rope.
Hiya, Sam!
Don't "Hi, Sam" me!
Just throw me the rope.
Hey, I'd like to tell you a little story.
It'll help you relax.
The story's about how
a heartless land developer
and his three ski-school lackeys...
They... Oh, hell.
You already know this story.
You wrote it.
You can't prove a thing.
Don't have to.
You're gonna blow your own whistle
or ride this hot dog
down the express route.
You've lost your mind, old man.
No.
Just my lodge.
I ain't got nothing else to lose.
Oh, my God!
All right, listen!
The violations, the testing,
the Howitzer, everything, it was all...
It was all my fault.
Ski patrol's not to blame.
Okay, here's the rope!
Thank you.
Thank you.
Thank you. Thank you, thank you.
Thank you very much. God bless you.
Maris, this is as close
as you'll ever come to being a hot dog.
Hey, Pops,
see you on the slopes tomorrow?
You bet. We'll be there.
Yeah! I like that, man. All right.
What are they doing?
What are they doing?
Come here, doggie.
Come here.
How's Dumpster doing?
Okay so far.
Sweet baby puppy, come here to Daddy.
Come here to Daddy. Yes.
Yes. Yes, yes. Yes.
Murray, how are you doing?
I've just about got it.
Oh, no. Oh, no!
Don't sneeze!
Oh, no!
Lord!
Lord, help me!
Pull!
Pull!
Pull! Yeah.
Here we go, here we go! Pull!
It's okay!
Hey, guys, look!
Man, they're getting away! Let's go!
Let's get 'em!
Ice, throw me a rope.
Ice, what's that?
Thera-Band, man.
It's the only thing we got.
Here, catch!
Just be careful, will you?
You guys keep going. Don't stop!
Go faster! Faster!
Ice, cut me loose.
Shit!
Look out!
Check this, Cramer!
Give it up, Finkmeyer!
Get off this mountain!
Never, Cramer.
Bonehead!
Limbo!
See you later, Cramer!
Let go of me! Let go of me!
-...with your bad self.
-Iceman?
Yo?
He looks like a patroller, doesn't he?
Wait a minute, Eddie, check this out.
See? I told you he was going to kick
ass, didn't I tell you that?
Thanks, guys.
Congratulations, Stan.
-Thanks.
-A ski-patrol man!
Guys? Guys!
Okay, everybody. All right, gather around.
Come on, come on. Get one, get one.
-Here we go.
-Here we go. Here we go.
Now, well, now.
I'm not... I'm not
very good at making mushy speeches,
but I would like to
thank you all and to...
Well, here's to a job well done!
All right! Yeah!
And to Pops,
who still owes me last season's overtime.
Hey, hey, now!
Listen, don't forget
about Snowy Peaks' newest mascot.
You sweet little...
Yes, you are. You're a sweet thing.
That's crazy, man.
I'll go down for help.
You ain't going down without us!
I think we're all going down!
Help!
Do you love me?
I can really move
Do you love me?
I'm in the groove

Cramer, Snowy Peaks
isn't big enough for the both of us.
Then I guess
we'll just have to deflate your head, Lance.
Ready,
set,
go.
We'll meet again, Cramer.
Gee, I can't wait.
It's such a pleasure skiing with you, Lance.
Hi. Give you a push, ma'am?
Would you?
Sure.
Thanks.
Come on, Dumpster.
Come on. That's it.
Okay!
Look at you. Come on.
Hey, Jerry.
Hey! Come on, let's go.
We'll go over there. Come on.
Welcome back.
Santa. Girls.
How's business?
I hate snow.
Maris, I hope you didn't ask me down
here to talk about the weather.
No, I asked you
down here to talk about money, my friend.
What kind of money
do you make at Snowy Peaks?
$200 a pop for privates.
How would you like to make
10 times that amount?
Maybe more. Here's a preview.
Maristown!
-My friend...
-What do you want to do?
...I've got such plans for this valley.
Just another ski lodge?
No, no, no. That's penny ante.
That's dime a dozen.
This is a major destination resort.
This could be the biggest
money-making machine of all time if...
If what?
If Snowy Peaks is mine!
I'd love to dream
with you, pal, but I got an 11:00.
Are you saying
you're perfectly happy with Snowy Peaks?
There's nothing about it you would change?
Not the ski patrol? Not Jerry Cramer?
What's he got to do with this?
Well...
Everybody knows
you two just don't get along that well.
You want him out of here
and I want Snowy Peaks.
Two birds...
...one stone.
But you know Pop Sandrich will never sell.
He won't have to.
His 40-year lease with the park commission
is up for renewal.
And if he should have
a couple of major violations,
oh, son of a gun, you know he could lose it?
Poor Pops.
Well...
I guess my 11:00 can wait.
And, you know,
what if Pops does lose his lease?
I just might have to
make you prince of Maristown.
There won't be any room for Jerry Cramer.
Hey, old timer!
Old timer?
Boy, you're just lucky the doc says
no more skiing on these knees,
or I'd tan your hide in a run down K-7.
Glad to have you back, Jerry.
Glad enough to pay me the overtime you
owe me from last season?
Well, I had to make sure
you'd come back, didn't I?
Look at this place, Jerry. Look at it!
Don't open for two days
and it's already jammed.
Hey, Pops, while I'm here,
I'm gonna run these up to the bar.
Yeah, thataboy. Take 'em up there. Yeah.
Hey, Pops, Stan gave me a ride over here
and I didn't want to ask him so I'll ask you.
Is he gonna try out for the patrol again?
Yep.
All right, I'll keep an eye on him.
Amongst other things.
That niece of mine is quite a woman.
See you later, son.
Do your stuff.
Wait a minute! Stop!
Oh, no, Dumpster!
He's not moving. Help me, someone!
Is he... Is that blood? What is that?
Jerry, I am so sorry. I didn't see him.
Is there anything I can do?
Well, you... You can just...
Hold me.
And comfort me all night.
-All night?
-All night.
This dog does not need a vet, Jerry,
he needs a little black coffee. He is drunk.
And he was doing so well on the program.
You know, he's pretty cute,
but what are you
hanging around with such a mutt for?
He's not a mutt.
I was talking to the dog.
-Hey, Stan.
-Hey, Jerry. How's it going?
-Okay.
-Hi, Dumpster.
What've you got there?
It's Thera-Band. It's brand new.
They're putting it in all the first-aid kits.
See? It stretches but it doesn't break.
I'm just using it
to beef up my forearms for recertification.
I'm gonna make it this year.
Good.
Now that I can dance
Watch me now
Now work it out, y'all
Now, now, now, now,
you are driving me crazy now, now, baby
Just a little soul now, y'all
Help me, Stevie!
Work it out, baby
You're driving me crazy
Just a little bit of soul now
Help me, Michael.
I do mashed potatoes
I can do the twist
Tell me, brothers
Can you moonwalk like this?
Eddie Murphy!
Come on, y'all,
what you wanna tell me now?
Y'all are gonna tell me now. Come on.
Can y'all tell me now?
Do you love me now?
Do you love me now?
Do you love me?
Now that I can dance
Iceman!
Ice! Ice!
Jerry, what's happening, boy?
What's going on there?
-Good to see you! How you doin'?
-Nice!
Yo, tell me something, man,
is that a perm or what?
Hey, man, it's natural beauty.
Don't make jokes, all right?
-All right, it's cool.
-Is that your new toy?
Toy? Toy?
$529.99 plus tax. Toy?
Look here, baby, this is my key to the top.
Let me tell you something.
After this season, it's goodbye
Snowy Peaks, hello Caesar's Palace.
You know what I'm saying?
So, naturally, the Iceman...
Uh-oh.
Gang way! Clear out!
Four, three, two, one!
Here's Eddie!
Hey!
Welcome back, my boy!
Martinez! Martinez!
Martinez! Marti... Martinez!
Just because you're the explosives expert
does not mean you can just blow in here
in that hot rod, is that clear?
Hey, Myron, buddy!
I brought you something for your bullhorn.
Get down!
You crazy, man.
Look, the Ranchero!
A few more mascots
than last year, huh, guys?
Yeah, what do you know?
They followed me
from my apartment in New York.
I get no respect!
Uh, I tell ya, anybody got a cat?
Hey, man, you need...
You need to work on that.
Same room?
Same room, bro.
Okay, come on.
Hey, did you hear
what happened to me last summer?
I read about it!
Long as we don't have to
test it on those mice.
Whoa! Whoa!
Damn.
Hey.
Man, it's 4:30 in the morning.
This is lame.
You know Murray.
Since he's director,
he has to play everything official.
Yeah.
Hey, Ice, how come
you're not complaining?
Ice?
Ice!
Man, you woke me up.
Man, I was just having a dream.
Me and Rhonda were just getting ready...
All right, can I have your attention, please?
Thank you.
It is with great pleasure
that I introduce to you
your guiding light for the next few months.
Let's all say hello to our director,
Murray Tuttle!
What in the Sam Hill did I trip...
Whose dog is this?
It's mine. Handsome hound, isn't he, Murr?
Cramer, I hate dogs. I...
See, I am allergic to dogs.
Hey, but he loves you, Murr.
Get him out of here!
Now, every...
Everybody listen up!
Listen up.
Inspector Crabitz of the park service
decides who makes this team,
but you bozos got to get past me first.
So for those of you who've been wasting
my time for seven years,
it's a full-fledged tryout.
Now...
This season, I'm very pleased to say
that visiting us from a foreign country
is someone very special.
This sweet young lady's
name is Tiana Chechornia.
Uh, Czeckornia.
Isn't that something?
Now she is
an exchange patroller from Bratslavea.
Bratislava.
Shut up, Myron!
She's here to study our techniques.
So don't make me look stupid.
Is that clear to everybody?
All right.
Let's see what you got.
-All right!
-All right.
Okay, let's go.
Meet you later, guys. Bye.
-Hey, Murray?
-What?
Me and the boys got you a gift.
Well, isn't it my lucky day?
"Algiers watussi growth formula."
Right, yeah. Ha, ha.
Hey, Murray,
we're just trying to help, okay?
We know
you have a complex about your height.
I don't have a complex about my height!
The only thing complex around here
is how I'm gonna
get you nitwits through recertification!
Get out of here.
Wha... Hey, look. Look.
Does this... Does this stuff really work?
Murray, it works.
All right, let's go!
Okay, guys, pay attention.
This is our 75mm recoilless rifle.
It's our avalanche buster.
What do you people think this is, a fiesta?
There are too many people up there.
Now one of you, come on down.
Come on, let's go.
Stan, Stan.
Stanley, son,
I believe the same thing
happened last year, didn't it?
Well, actually, it was two years ago.
Okay. Shooting the hole
is the toughest run on the mountain.
Now I want y'all to be careful,
but I want to see some speed down there!
Sending down the first one. Go for it.
Nice job! Eddie, you're up.
Here comes number two.
Look, for some reason,
I just can't shoot the hole.
Look, all you need is confidence, Stanley.
You can do it.
Yeah, man, just relax. Chill out.
You see, shooting the hole
is just like making love.
I've never made love.
Good luck.
Here comes number three. Go for it, man.
See you at the bottom.
Oh, God.
Oh, God.
Oh, no.
Oh, my God!
Oh, no!
Oh, God!
There goes his family life.
Oh, no!
All right, everybody in!
Martinez...
Good work.
Iceman...
Thank you very much, Mr. Tuttle.
My mom
is gonna appreciate this very much.
She's gonna love it.
-Thank you, sir.
-Good work.
Lord, 911!
911! Somebody call the ambulance!
That's funny.
That's brilliant. That's real funny.
You know, Iceman, I bet you're gonna win
that Poolitzer Prize for humor.
It's Pulitzer.
Shut up, Myron.
Where's Cramer?
Murr?
Don't sneak up on me, boy.
Kind of like a general, huh, Murr?
Yeah, like a general pain in the butt.
Now, listen, Cramer,
with seniority comes something special.
-The R word?
-Yes, Cramer!
The R word. Responsibility, Cramer.
Goes for all of you! Responsibility.
Now please don't let me down...
What the...
Murr, looks like you made a new friend.
Get that beast out of here, Cramer.
And I mean it! Or I'm...
I'm gonna turn on you like a mother-in-law.
Here... And another thing.
Get these... These vermin out of here.
Cramer, this is against health regulations.
Catch my drift, son? Get 'em out of here.
All right, everybody out.
Come on. Everybody out.
What do you want?
A gold pin. Did I pass?
A gold pin?
You want a gold pin, do you?
Well, let me...
Let me put it this way, Stanley.
Son, I hope
you can shovel better than you ski.
I'm so sorry, Stanley.
That... That's okay.
Same thing happened last year.
I guess I should be
getting used to it by now.
I know how much
you wanted to be on the patrol.
I wish you could be.
Well, if they ever start a shovel patrol,
I'll definitely be in charge of that.
Thanks anyway, Tiana.
Girl stood on the burning deck...
Who the hell is parked in my spot?
Hi.
The band and me
were just jamming for the talent show.
Kind of loud, but loud's best, right, man?
Yeah, right, yeah.
Look here, little mister,
you get this
oversized trash compactor out of here
or I'm gonna tear you...
What'd that guy want?
Well, he wants to come in.
Let him in!
They say come on in.
-Who?
-Them, the band.
-Who?
-They want to meet you.
I don't know who you're...
They're right over there.
-Who?
-Come on in.
Oh, my Lord.
Meet the band.
This is Buried.
If you want us to leave, we will, kind sir.
The guys call me Suicide.
I play drums.
And over here, the wizard of the keyboards.
This is Slaughter.
You want trouble, you got trouble!
He likes you. No, I don't!
He's a little temperamental.
Would you like to hear some of our music?
-No, thank you, that's...
-Great! That's great.
Shut it off!
Shut it...
...off.
That's music, huh?
And this is our inspiration.
Rocket skis!
Speed, thrills and fun!
See, with these, we'll taste death, live life.
Hold on there a minute, little buddy boy.
You use rocket skis on my slopes,
and the only thing you, you and you
are gonna be tasting
is my foot in your face.
Do you read me?
Like a comic book.
Like a biker magazine!
Like Vogue.
Son, did anybody ever tell you
you're a few sandwiches short of a picnic?
Okay, great. You guys are doing great.
Brooke, keep your edges in, okay?
Your inside edges. Good.
Cindy, you're awesome.
Look at you!
What do we think?
I think I want to go home.
You, candy ass,
we can't take you anywhere!
Hey, come on, guys, don't fight, all right?
All right, let's just go for it!
Yeah.
So what are we waiting for?
Let's shred this hill!
He's right. Taste death, live life!
Yeah!
Oh, no!
Looks like someone to play with.
Then let's play hardball.
Look out, no brakes!
Excuse me!
Out of the way!
I love it!
This is better than sex!
Hey!
What's that guy
doing up here with a snowboard?
What's he doing with our sign?
Then let's go nail the sucker!
Come on, man.
Hey, guys, we crossed the finish line first!
Oh, no!
Hey, Ice, how about
the old clothes-line trick?
Let's do it.
Unreal!
I think I wet my pants!
Coming through!
Honey, you got anything to cool this down?
Oh, no!
Thanks.
That's great, you guys.
You're doing great. Keep it up.
That's good.
Hey, you're gonna kill yourself!
I am!
You idiot!
Sorry. This is my first time.
Wait! What's that?
What's what?
That! That! It looks like a rope!
Damn, man, don't pull so hard.
We're gonna eat it!
No!
I'm so sorry, Mr. Patrolman.
Sorry, my ass!
Taste death, live life.
Let's get Larry, Moe and Curly out of here.
Yeah. All right, come on.
Thank you.
Thanks.
Hey. How are you?
It's good to see you.
It's good to see you again.
All right, fellas, listen up.
Remember, time is money.
Keep those unprofitable
group lessons short
and always be
on the lookout for ass grabbers.
Ass grabbers, sir?
Rich, middle-aged women.
You grab their ass and they'll
practically beg you to take their money,
among other things.
-Hi.
-How you doing?
Hi, how are you?
Right, left, right, left...
-Stop!
-Hold it!
Ready on the right?
Ready on the left?
Ice?
All set, Jerry.
Free for all!
Old man rhythm standing in my shoes
No need sitting or singing the blues
So be my guest
What the hell is that?
Won't you let me take you on a sea cruise?
Ooh-ee
Ooh-ee, baby, ooh-ee
Ooh-ee, baby
Ooh-ee
Ooh-ee, baby
Won't you let me take you on a sea cruise?
Feel like jumpin', baby,
won't you join me, please?
I don't mind begging
but now I'm on bended knees
I got to get the rocking,
get my hat off the rack
That was great!
Be my guest, you got nothing to lose
Won't you let me take you on a sea cruise?
Ooh-ee
Ooh-ee, baby, ooh-ee
Yeah, ooh-ee, baby, ooh-ee
Ooh-ee, baby
Won't you let me take you on a sea cruise?
I gotta get to the rockin', baby, I ain't lying
My heart is beating rhythm
and it's right on time
So be my guest, you got nothing to lose
Won't you let me take you on a sea cruise?
Ooh-ee
Ooh-ee, baby, ooh-ee
Ooh-ee, baby, ooh-ee
All right, boys, light 'em up.
Won't you let me take you on a sea cruise?
Won't you let me take you on a sea cruise?
Okay, time to put
a little tarnish on ski patrol's shine.
Maris' plan, phase one.
Hello.
Thanks.
Uh, excuse me, sir? There's a $5 admission.
I guess you don't know who I am.
I'm Sam Maris.
Maris Realty and Home Loan.
I'm usually comp-ed at things like this.
Yes, Mr. Maris, I know who you are,
but you still have to pay $5.
Look, nothing goes on
in this town that I can't just walk right...
What's the trouble, Ellen?
Sandrich, would you
please tell this lady that I'm your guest?
Make him pay.
Don't worry, it's tax-deductable.
Thanks. Have a good time.
No, thank you.
Jeez.
Hey, Stan, my man!
Pull up a chair, dude. Right, Myron?
They said that
this table's only for ski patrollers.
I didn't pass the test.
Are you kidding?
Any man who cleans up after this squad
deserves to be in this squad.
Now sit down, homey,
with your bad coat on.
Thanks.
I'm glad you came.
Thanks.
Here, I brought this for you.
It kind of got squished, but...
For me?
Thank you, Stanley.
Gee.
Can I have your attention, please?
Would you please help me
in giving a warm welcome
to her honor, Mayor Biard?
Thank you.
Forty years ago,
Pop Sandrich
traded his saddle for a pair of skis,
and not only founded this ski lodge,
but our community as well.
Pops, tonight is your night.
Pops, for your 40 years of joy
and caring and community spirit,
the whole town
would like to present you with...
Oh, no. What...
Hey! Hey, those are our mice.
How'd they get here?
-Please don't step on 'em!
-Let's just get 'em!
I'm doing this for the neighborhood.
I got one.
...40th anniversary and I...
Edna.
Inspector Crabitz to you, Sandrich.
Another one!
Now you people know
that mice are against health regulations.
Where the hell'd they come from?
We don't know.
I do.
They're pets.
Of the ski patrol.
Well, pets or no pets,
I'm gonna have to write you a citation.
It's your first one in years, Sandrich.
Better make it your last.
Well, strike one, gentlemen.
Let's make it a quick inning.
Oh, no!
Can I help you, ma'am?
Yes, I lost my contact lens.
Your contact? Where?
Somewhere on this mountain.
Can you help me find it?
Yeah.
Where are we going?
Murray wants
the main trails checked for obstacles.
Okay. I'll go down Badger's Pass.
Okay, I'll take Turner's.
All right.
Guys, can you help me
find my contact lens?
-You bet!
-Yeah, sure, no problem.
Jerr? Jerry? Do you read me?
Jerry, come in!
What's up? Eddie?
Hello?
I got a little problem here.
-He almost killed us!
-This is crazy!
Really!
Come check this out! Hurry up.
Jerr? Make that a big problem.
Keep digging.
Hey, did anybody lose a contact lens?
This bothers me, Eddie. These machines
were overhauled last week.
How could something like this happen?
I don't know, Jerr.
All I know is it was fine yesterday.
Yeah.
Eddie, for God's sakes, you all right?
Yeah, thanks, Pop.
But I think this puppy's history.
Jerry, my God, this really is a mess.
Yeah, it is.
A bigger mess than you think, Sandrich.
Edna. Well...
This is unfortunate.
What's unfortunate
is that Snowy Peaks now
has two major violations against it.
A lousy way to start a season, Sandrich.
And a patrol
that can't keep a mountain safe
ain't gonna be a patrol anymore.
Wait a second, Edna.
These boys are good boys.
They've never let me down before.
Look, I'm warning you people,
any more of this crap,
and I'm gonna close this mountain down.
Edna, we have an impeccable
safety record here.
I'll vouch for these kids.
They... Now, listen!
They are some of
the best patrollers in the state, Edna.
Would you please take this back?
So, hotshot!
This season's barely begun
and you've already blown it.
Well, I...
No! No! You listen to me.
You shape up
or I will baste you like a Butterball.
And don't you think
I can't do it, boy. Shape up!
What the hell did I trip...
All night long
From midnight on
Took my girl to church last night
Let me tell you what she went and done
She stood right up in the preacher's face
And she chewed
her chewing gum all night...
Wait a minute.
Wait a minute.
Wait just a goldarn minute.
Well, slap me silly.
This stuff's really working.
Better not overdo it!
It's... It's really working.
I can't believe it. It's really, really working!
No more "short stuff!"
No more "Mr. Little-Big!"
Here I come.
Hello, darlings.
Iceman, Cramer!
Plunk my tired, weary ass right here.
Go for it, Murr.
Murray, slow down. Okay?
You got to know when to say when.
Shut up.
This stuff makes me sleep like a baby.
Besides, I wanna
tell you boys a little secret.
Because of those pills
that Martinez gave me,
I've grown three inches
in the last two days.
Go on!
I ain't shitting you!
I wouldn't have believed it myself
if I hadn't seen it with my own eyes.
Hey, listen, I can't fit in my own car.
Good. 'Cause you see,
drinking and driving do not mix,
that's why I'm driving you home.
Not yet, you ain't.
I'm gonna find me a big, tall redhead.
I'm gonna get out
on that floor and cut the rug.
Murr, look, alcohol and growth pills
can cause weird
and strange things to happen.
Well, it so happens
that tall people such as myself,
can handle...
Liquor.
I saw this shit in The Exorcist.
Stanley.
Hi!
Hi. I tried to call you
but you have no phone.
I don't need one. Who'd want to call me?
I would. You're very special.
To you, I can talk.
Most American men interested only in sex.
Sex! I'm not interested in that.
Well, I mean, I am, but I wouldn't...
Well, I would, but,
you know, I don't. Well, I...
Would you like to dance?
Dance? No.
Do you know how?
Sure. No, really, I do.
Let's dance.
Come on. Stanley!
Okay, Stanley!
That's my boy, Stan!
Do you always carry champagne with you?
Well, class is my middle name.
I think I'm gonna let this breathe.
Jerry, pour the champagne.
Ellen, you know I'm crazy about you.
Honestly, what do you think of me?
I think you're an immature,
wisecracking ski bum.
No, don't sugarcoat it.
Actually, you're pretty irresistible.
But you should settle down,
start thinking about the future.
Jerry, what are you doing?
Thinking about the future.
I think we should go skiing.
Jerry, what happened?
Jerry? What...
You!
Holy shit.
Holy shit!
I overdid it.
I took too many of these pills.
I'm a frigging giant!
You bastards!
I'm gonna get you, Cramer!
I'm gonna get you!
Now that's what I call dangerous curves.
Terrific! All right.
Excellent. Brenda, you're beautiful.
Okay. Nice angle.
Keep stepping into it. Beautiful!
That's it. Yeah!
Nice. Yeah. Throw your hair back.
All right. Beautiful.
Excellent. Great.
Got to have it.
Yeah.
That was terrific, girls. Thank you.
Now all we've got to do
is take those Snowy Peaks promo shots
we promised Mr. Maris and we'll be done.
Who's Maris?
Excuse me. Coming through.
Look at this.
This is wonderful. Looking good.
-Thanks for coming.
-How you doing?
Good. Just grab a girl up there.
Thanks for coming.
I love it. Let's do it.
Maybe we shouldn't.
Maybe you're right.
Just do it!
Okay. Okay.
We need another guy to even this out.
Here, take this.
Have we got somebody
over here that can even this line out?
Yo, man, you see this guy right here?
This here is the head honcho...
-No, this guy.
-...of ski patrol.
Great. Come on over.
-Here's your man! Go!
-Get over there, man.
-Go on, man. Heard that.
-Yeah.
Thank you. Head honcho, huh?
All right. Right in the center. Grab a girl.
How do you steer this thing?
Who cares? Go faster!
I'm going, I'm going.
I love it!
Okay, you guys are doing so good.
I'm so proud.
Especially you now, Nancy.
I want you to keep your arms up, okay?
And keep your head up
and look over my shoulder, all right?
Damn that guy.
Sheila, wait right here.
I'll be right back, okay?
Hey, idiot!
You're being paged.
I'm no idiot!
Stop this thing before you kill somebody!
I'm hooked up on your binding.
Will you stop?
I'm caught. I'm caught!
Stop this thing, damn it!
Code blue! Slope 10.
It's Ellen attached to runaway ski sailor!
Can you hear me? It's Ellen.
Ellen.
Damn.
Is that better, dear?
Yes, much better.
Much better!
What are you doing?
Hey, ladies, how you doing?
Well, nice chatting with you.
And remember, I'm a professional.
Don't try this at home.
Station 4-A. Stand by with an M-40. Stat!
Jerry! Jerry, help!
Hold on! I'm coming!
Jerry!
Jerry! Hurry up, Jerry!
Jerry.
You okay? Don't ever do that again.
Who was that masked man?
I wanted to thank him.
Gentlemen,
the safety portion of Crabitz's test.
Correction.
An advanced copy
of the safety portion of Crabitz's test.
How'd you get this?
Little wallet-sized pictures of presidents.
With that plus what you guys are gonna do
to the ski patrol's equipment,
there's no way they're gonna pass.
This time tomorrow,
Pops Sandrich will be ancient history.
And Maristown will be born.
And I'll be the proud new papa.
Yeah, well, I just thought of another idea
of ensuring our little bet.
Come on.
How you doing?
I'll tell you, kid,
this is some place to come
shopping with your mom, understand?
Hey.
Hi.
Hey, hey, this stuff.
Perfect.
Hey, Martinez, what's going on?
Yo, Finkmeyer,
what brings you to a hardware store?
Let me guess. Looking for a snap-on tool?
Look, Edward,
I know there's been a lot of bad blood
between the ski patrol and the ski school,
but I really think
it's time to bury the hatchet
and put it all behind us, huh?
Excuse me, Mr. Philips?
Hi.
I hate being the bearer of bad news,
but that ethnic fellow over there,
he's pulling a Frito Bandito number on you.
You go check his pockets,
we'll get the police.
Eddie Martinez in jail?
Martinez? I don't believe it.
Why would he steal?
I don't know, but there must be something
we can do. Now you've got to...
Right.
Okay.
They won't budge on the bail.
Shoplifting? I don't believe it.
We gotta get him out of there.
If you guys
don't pass this inspection tomorrow,
Pops is gonna lose the mountain.
We can't let that happen to him.
And Eddie's got to
set off those explosives tomorrow and...
Yeah, I don't want to hear it.
I don't want to hear it.
How much money do we have?
$412.
There are 25 ski patrollers
and all we have is $412?
That's just beautiful.
Well, I guess
I can hock my singing machine.
Wait a minute.
Yeah, this is it. Hold on.
Yeah, guys, come here. This is it!
Yeah! Check it out.
"Mountain High Bar talent contest."
"Winner take all, $1,000."
Give me this thing. $1,000?
I can do that.
I can do...
Man, I can knock this town on its butt.
Wait, wait, wait, you guys, hold it.
We can't just
walk in there with this machine.
We gotta do something different here.
Yeah, but I got it.
The Iceman has got it.
How about
a singing-and-dancing-
choreographed-rip-you-up duet?
Duet? You're the only
good singer we've got.
You see, with this machine
I can prerecord the other parts,
make it sound any way the Iceman wants.
All we need is a kick-ass dancer.
Oh, no!
Yeah. You can kick some ass.
First time I saw you I said,
"He be kicking some ass."
No, I wasn't kicking anyone's... No.
I had to give you up
But you didn't make it easy
And even though I tried to stay away
I will always
Love you
Thank you.
Michelle Rohl, ladies and gentlemen,
with the score to beat.
For the next act,
could you plug
the output of this machine into your PA?
Yeah, sure.
Now, ladies and gentlemen,
we have a last-minute entry,
one you'll have to see to believe.
From our local ski patrol,
Stanley and the Iceman.

Stanley and the Iceman!
Yes! All right, we did it!
Party! Hey, party!
Ice, Ice, I need the money, man,
to spring Eddie out of jail.
Yeah, all right, man. Go ahead, do it. Do it.
See you later.
Hey, Ice, wait up.
Stanley.
I have never met anyone like you.
I'll bet.
I've been wanting
to do something for a long time
but I needed your permission.
Go ahead.
The lodge has passed every other test.
Now it's up to you people.
Hey, don't worry, Pops. It's in the bag.
Yeah, we got you covered, Pops.
Okay, let's move it.
Hey, hey, Cramer!
I think that's my job. I'm the director.
Okay.
Let's move!
Well, that's the last of 'em.
Pre-fire safety check. Aiming mechanism.
-Check.
-Clear in front?
-Clear in front.
-Clear in the rear?
-Clear in the rear.
-Clear!
Uh-oh.
"Uh-oh" what?
Oh, no!
Man, it don't make sense.
The sight was fine an hour ago.
Now it's 50 degrees off.
I don't know what to say.
Try "goodbye."
Because as of 5:00 today,
this mountain is closed.
Ladies and gentlemen, everybody,
may I have your attention for a moment?
No cowboy can stay on a bronc forever.
And 40 years is a good long ride.
What I'm trying to say is
Snowy Peaks has lost its lease.
And the park officials
have revoked your patrol licenses.
And for the good of the valley,
I've decided to
sell to Sam Maris.
I love you all. I know how hard you've tried,
but we just came up a day late
and a dollar short.
I know this is as
much a shock to you as it is to me,
so take your time
cleaning out your belongings.
You got half an hour
to get off the mountain.
Move. Move.
Don't worry about it, man. It'll be all right.
Just chill out, okay?
Need a suitcase, Cramer?
Lance, just lay off.
It's a little early for vultures, isn't it?
This one wanted to
pick while the meat was fresh.
Hey, come on! Come on.
Anytime, Cramer.
It's all right, man.
I'm really sorry about this, boys.
But you're all good patrollers
and you'll find a new lodge.
New lodges, but not new homes.
Pops, don't you see
someone pulled a fast one on us?
What are you saying, son?
We've been sabotaged!
Someone went to a hell of a lot of
trouble to make sure we'd fail
and kick us out of here.
Yeah, but who'd do that?
Hey, guys, come here.
Check this out. Come here.
Come here, look at this.
Check it out over here.
He did take
the duty roster from the locker room.
Yeah, somebody moved the Howitzer sight,
screwed up all our machines.
Pops?
I don't think, I know.
I just don't know how to prove it.
I'm gonna have a little talk with Mr. Maris.
Maris, we've got to talk.
It's about
how you sabotaged this mountain.
I sabotaged this mountain?
You're out of your mind, old man.
Taste death, live life!
Maybe we shouldn't.
Shut up, geek! It's showtime!
Holy shit!
This is an $800 jacket.
You still own this mountain,
you're gonna pay for it.
You got any napkins in this dump?
Back away, Maris!
Back away! This thing's ready to go!
-Get out!
-I can't!
Please stop! Hey, get me out of here!
I'm stuck on a goddamned
runaway weenie! Hey!
Let's do it!
Somebody do something!
Get me loose! Please!
Somebody!
Hey, Pops, hop on and hold on tight.
We about to do our thing!
Let's go!
Somebody get me out of here!
Hey, please, get me out of here!
But I want a hot dog. I want a hot dog!
You're not gonna get one.
They don't even have hot dogs here.
Hey! Stop this thing, somebody! Anybody!
I'm a very important person, you hear me?
Stop it!
Hey! Hey, somebody get me out of here!
Hey! Hey!
Help!
Wait a minute. Wait.
Wait. Tiana, stop, stop.
Can you hear me? I'm stuck!
-Tiana, come here.
-I'm stuck down here.
Help!
Somebody's got to help me!
Murray.
Help! Somebody help me, please!
Anybody up there?
Hey, get me up from here!
Quiet. Loud noise can cause an avalanche.
Then, hurry up.
I'm going to traverse down.
Wait, wait, we don't have the proper rig.
I have an idea.
Help.
Help.
Eddie, tie this on.
Ice, give me your lifeline.
No, man, I'll do it.
No, no, no, no.
I'll do it.
Pops, no, you're not.
You sure you can handle it?
You bet your ass I can handle it.
Give me that rope.
Hiya, Sam!
Don't "Hi, Sam" me!
Just throw me the rope.
Hey, I'd like to tell you a little story.
It'll help you relax.
The story's about how
a heartless land developer
and his three ski-school lackeys...
They... Oh, hell.
You already know this story.
You wrote it.
You can't prove a thing.
Don't have to.
You're gonna blow your own whistle
or ride this hot dog
down the express route.
You've lost your mind, old man.
No.
Just my lodge.
I ain't got nothing else to lose.
Oh, my God!
All right, listen!
The violations, the testing,
the Howitzer, everything, it was all...
It was all my fault.
Ski patrol's not to blame.
Okay, here's the rope!
Thank you.
Thank you.
Thank you. Thank you, thank you.
Thank you very much. God bless you.
Maris, this is as close
as you'll ever come to being a hot dog.
Hey, Pops,
see you on the slopes tomorrow?
You bet. We'll be there.
Yeah! I like that, man. All right.
What are they doing?
What are they doing?
Come here, doggie.
Come here.
How's Dumpster doing?
Okay so far.
Sweet baby puppy, come here to Daddy.
Come here to Daddy. Yes.
Yes. Yes, yes. Yes.
Murray, how are you doing?
I've just about got it.
Oh, no. Oh, no!
Don't sneeze!
Oh, no!
Lord!
Lord, help me!
Pull!
Pull!
Pull! Yeah.
Here we go, here we go! Pull!
It's okay!
Hey, guys, look!
Man, they're getting away! Let's go!
Let's get 'em!
Ice, throw me a rope.
Ice, what's that?
Thera-Band, man.
It's the only thing we got.
Here, catch!
Just be careful, will you?
You guys keep going. Don't stop!
Go faster! Faster!
Ice, cut me loose.
Shit!
Look out!
Check this, Cramer!
Give it up, Finkmeyer!
Get off this mountain!
Never, Cramer.
Bonehead!
Limbo!
See you later, Cramer!
Let go of me! Let go of me!
-...with your bad self.
-Iceman?
Yo?
He looks like a patroller, doesn't he?
Wait a minute, Eddie, check this out.
See? I told you he was going to kick
ass, didn't I tell you that?
Thanks, guys.
Congratulations, Stan.
-Thanks.
-A ski-patrol man!
Guys? Guys!
Okay, everybody. All right, gather around.
Come on, come on. Get one, get one.
-Here we go.
-Here we go. Here we go.
Now, well, now.
I'm not... I'm not
very good at making mushy speeches,
but I would like to
thank you all and to...
Well, here's to a job well done!
All right! Yeah!
And to Pops,
who still owes me last season's overtime.
Hey, hey, now!
Listen, don't forget
about Snowy Peaks' newest mascot.
You sweet little...
Yes, you are. You're a sweet thing.
That's crazy, man.
I'll go down for help.
You ain't going down without us!
I think we're all going down!
Help!
Do you love me?
I can really move
Do you love me?
I'm in the groove
Do you love me?
Do you love me?
Now that I can dance
Dance
Watch me now!
Work, work
Work it out, baby
Work, work
Well, you drivin' me crazy
Work, work
With a little bit of soul
Work
I can mash potato
I can mash potato
I can do the twist
I can do the twist
Now, now tell me, baby
Tell me, baby
Do you like it like this?
Do you like it like this?
Tell me! Come on
Tell me
Yeah!
Do you love me now?
Do you love me?
