Quantum Leap1989

Sam:
Why did you tell I was Safety Inspector?

Stawpah:
Company men like Collins make me cripple, so I make him sweat.

Sam:
Look Stawpah. You've got a lot to be bitter about. But how is sweating Collins gonna help Tonci and Pete down there?

Stawpah:
You're right. I need find way get them out this time. They cold, wet, scared. Pete real scared 'cause he no can see his brother.

Sam:
What about their lamps?

Stawpah:
Carbide lamp burn air, so Tonchi put it out. It black like coal down there. but that not worst thing. Worst thing is water. Pump no work in bottom. Water already up to Tonchi belt. We no get them out soon, they no come out.

Sam:
How do you know all this?

Stawpah:
I been there. Too many times.

Sam:
I had thought Stawpah's pain had turned him bitter and blind to anyone's plight but his own. I was wrong. He needed to save Tonchi and Pete as much as I did. Maybe more.
