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.
