:09:02
As you've probably surmised, I'm the
joker they'd heave out at 10,000 feet.
:09:07
And I can't say I blame them.
:09:09
I knew it was hopeless from the start,
but it had to be tried.
:09:12
Anyway, this is why you
were hauled out of Crete.
:09:21
And don't mislay this, will you?
:09:23
No, sir.
:09:24
We're pressed for time.
Let's go, gentlemen, shall we?
:09:40
-Any questions?
-Only one.
:09:43
Why me?
:09:46
What you want is
a seagoing taxi driver.
:09:50
Other men know these waters
as well as I do.
:09:52
Yes, but you've got
special qualifications.
:09:54
Franklin'll explain it.
It's his idea, anyway.
:09:58
First, you speak Greek and German.
:10:01
Second, you've kept alive in occupied
territory for a year and a half.
:10:05
And before the war, you were the
greatest mountain climber in the world.
:10:09
'' Keith Mallory, the human fly.''
:10:12
Come to the point, Roy.
:10:13
The point is that our Resistance
contacts on Navarone...
:10:17
...say there's only one spot on
the coast the Germans don't watch:
:10:20
The South Cliff.
It's 400 feet straight up...
:10:23
...and it can't be climbed
by man or beast.
:10:27
And that's where you come in.
:10:29
That was your idea too?
:10:31
That's right.
:10:33
I want you to get me and my team
over there and on top of that cliff.
:10:37
When you've done that, you can
take a richly deserved leave...{16049}{16098}...and a long-overdue promotion.
:10:44
I see.
