Quotation Marks in Dialogue Practice Lesson #24
It was 1960, that morning everything seemed just fine, Peter Fork an elite Air Force 1 pilot had a really special mission that day. As he woke up in the Air Force base he was ready to be the pilot in the presidential plane taking as passengers the United States president Dwight D. Eisenhower, the prime minister, and two other presidents from European countries. While the passengers went on board Peter said, “Good morning gentlemen.”, they all replied nodding their heads gently, the plane was destined to go to Geneva, Switzerland. After some hours of flight the aircraft started to experience some trouble, constant extreme turbulence, engines were failing constantly, and communication was not the best, after some rough time Mr. President went up to the pilot’s cabin and asked, “Is everything ok here?”, Peter replied, “I am not sure Mr. President.” The pilot activated emergency mode but got no response after that, as their last choice an emergency landed had to be performed in the middle of nowhere. There was a lot of confusion going on, everyone was screaming, “What is going on!”, “This can not be happening!”, “We are all dead”, after minutes of confusion the plane aggressively impacted the rough ground.
A couple of hours later everyone woke up from their unconscious state, they were all confused and full of bruises and scratches everywhere. They all quickly evacuated the aircraft which was rapidly getting caught up in flames, Peter said, “run!” and they all obeyed and threw themselves off a small cliff, in seconds they heard a loud noise which confirmed the explosion of the plane. “What is your plan now, Peter!” said Mr.President, “This is not my fault sir”, he replied, they all agreed on building a small shelter for the night until they were rescued, they built a small shelter, got some food they rescued from te aircraft, and made a fire. That night they all had no sleep, they were all wondering on how much time would it take for them to be rescued and what could be possibly happen to them while in the middle of nowhere, the next morning apparently the place was loaded with helicopters and vehicles, the prime minister screamed, “Look they are here!”, they all woke up with a smile on their face. They waited until one of the choppers landed and rescued them, when they were now onboard and flying through the sky, the silence was penetrated by one of the guys onboard who made a phone call and said, “The package is safe”, when they heard that, they knew they were not rescued by the government, it was something else.
