Chapter 65 - They mount the Klipschorn.

Arnie says, "Throw me that pulley in a minute" to Steve Martin.

Steve flips him a jaunty salute.

"It's going to be a granny"

"I'm going to be 15 feet up, it'll have to be."

He puts a rope in his teeth and starts climbing.

Steve waits, picks up the 8 inch pulley and throws it high to Arnie, who gr=
abs it with one hand as it's coming down.

Arnie hooks the pulley on his belt, threads the rope through it, wraps it a=
round the pulley a few times, and keeps climbing his rope to the top of the=
 mast. Then, hooks the pulley on a ring on the mast, runs the pulley line d=
own and tells Tom Cruise to tie the speaker harness to it. Tom complies, th=
en Arnie slides down the rope he came up. He has gloves, and he tells Tom t=
o ride the speaker up and hands him 2 belts and shows him the hook on the b=
ack of the speaker.

"The ring for that is 2 feet below the pulley. The rest of you guys, get th=
e other Klipschorn and belt it to the mast at the base."

"HER! Will you please get Molly's girls to help raise the mainsail the wind=
 is with us now?"

"Only if you let me call one song whenever I want today."

"Only if it's not Spike Jones."

"Choo got it!" said HER.

Everyone did their jobs, and Arnie climbed his rope with the speaker line a=
nd connector, threading it through eyebolts as he worked his way up. At eac=
h eyebolt, he'd hang with one arm for a minute, thread it then wind it arou=
nd his arm again as he moved on up. At the top, he handed the line and conn=
ector to Tom who connected it to the Klipschorn and slid down the line.

When they both reached the bottom, they both shot odds and evens. Arnie won=
, and he pointed towards HER who cued up Led Zeppelin III and as loud as a =
loud rock concert back then=E2=80=A6 'Immigrant Song' played.
