KEVINOh yeah? Why’s that?

ERICA You know how much I hate flying.

KEVINIt’s the safest way to fly.

ERICA It’s the only way to fly.

KEVINYou know what I mean. And afterall, statistically speaking... Youare more likely to get killed by adonkey than on this plane.

ERICA That makes me feel ever so muchbetter.

KEVINSo, unless a donkey walks on board,you have nothing to worry about.
