Fantasy Island Season 3 Episode 17

Mr. Roarke: Sorry to have kept you waiting Mr. Smith.
Jason Smith: No problem Mr. Roarke.
Mr. Roarke: Please have a seat, may we offer you something to drink?
Jason Smith: Thank you but I'm very anxious to get this thing moving. Mr. Roarke, Fantasy Island is my last hope of becoming the kind of soldier I always wanted to be.
Mr. Roarke: And yet you served in the United States Marine Corp.
Jason Smith: Oh yeah, one full hitch.
Tattoo: Did you make it to the shores of Tripoli?
Jason Smith: Make that Korea, Tattoo but just after they signed the Peace Treaty. I never saw combat.
Mr. Roarke: I see, please sit down Mr. Smith. I understand you are a married man, does your wife approve of this little adventure?
Jason Smith: Well she doesn't like it, but she knows that I have to do it. Look I'm like an actor who prepared for an opening night that never came. I gotta taste what it's like to be under fire. I have to find out whether I can cut it. Can you understand that? Once just once I want to feel what it's like to be responsible for a mission, responsible for it's success.
Mr. Roarke: Or it's failure.
(Phone rings)
Mr. Roarke: Excuse me. Yes? Are there any hostages aboard? Yes, yes of course, keep me informed.
(Hangs up)
Mr. Roarke: I have just permitted a hi-jacked aircraft to land at a remote landing strip on the other side of the island. Well Mr. Smith you wanted a fantasy involving combat against the dangerous and determined enemy for very high stakes. I hope saving eight innocent lives fits that purpose because your fantasy has just begun.
