You know what these fellows are like.
They criticise points of detail.

:34:04
You can't expect an agent to memorise
everything at a moment of danger.

:34:08
- Hawthorne. Good flight?
- A bit bumpy over the Azores, sir.

:34:11
I've been seeing the Prime Minister.
:34:13
Our man in Havana's done a good job.
He deserves a bonus.

:34:16
Those drawings have already cost a lot.
:34:18
- Stroke Five gave a great deal for them.
- I never mind paying for results.

:34:22
Take another look at them.
:34:23
Do you know what the Prime Minister said
when I showed him copies?

:34:27
What's that odd flower you're wearing?
It might have been an orchid once.

:34:32
- Pan American gave it with dinner last night.
- What an odd thing to do.

:34:36
What did the Prime Minister say, sir?
:34:38
He said some of these drawings
reminded him of a gigantic vacuum cleaner.

:34:48
I'm no scientist,
but this thing looks pretty big.

:34:55
Makes you shiver, doesn't it?
:34:57
It's not that, sir.
It was 92 degrees in Jamaica yesterday.

:35:01
Your blood's getting thin.
:35:03
It couldn't be a vacuum cleaner, sir.
:35:06
Not a vacuum cleaner.
:35:07
Fiendish, isn't it? The simplicity.
The devilish imagination.

:35:10
See this one here?
:35:12
Like a gigantic spray
six times the height of a man.

:35:17
Why the umbrella?
:35:19
Do look at essentials, Hawthorne.
:35:22
Gentlemen, I think
we may be onto something so big...

:35:25
that the H-bomb
will become a conventional weapon.

:35:28
- Is that desirable, sir?
- Of course.

:35:31
Nobody worries
about conventional weapons.

:35:33
- The War House will want photographs, sir.
- They shall have them.

:35:37
It's a very difficult area, sir.
:35:38
I can't see how this new man, Montez,
got the drawings in the first place.

:35:42
Government planes patrol all that area,
spotting for rebels.

:35:45
Maybe I should go to Havana first
and talk to Stroke Five?

:35:48
Bad security.
We can't risk compromising him now.

:35:51
He's an untrained man, sir.
:35:53
Then we should consider
sending him a trained staff.

:35:56
You know, Hawthorne,
we owe a great deal of this to you.
