:09:07
As you've probably surmised, l'm the
joker they'd heave out at 1 0,000 feet.
:09:12
And l can't say l blame them.
:09:14
l knew it was hopeless from the start,
but it had to be tried.
:09:17
Anyway, this is why you
were hauled out of Crete.
:09:26
And don't mislay this, will you?
:09:28
No, sir.
:09:29
We're pressed for time.
Let's go, gentlemen, shall we?
:09:45
-Any questions?
-Only one.
:09:48
Why me?
:09:51
What you want is
a seagoing taxi driver.
:09:54
Other men know these waters
as well as l do.
:09:57
Yes, but you've got
special qualifications.
:09:59
Franklin'll explain it.
lt's his idea, anyway.
:10:02
First, you speak Greek and German.
:10:05
Second, you've kept alive in occupied
territory for a year and a half.
:10:10
And before the war, you were the
greatest mountain climber in the world.
:10:14
'' Keith Mallory, the human fly.''
:10:16
Come to the point, Roy.
:10:18
The point is that our Resistance
contacts on Navarone...
:10:21
...say there's only one spot on
the coast the Germans don't watch:
:10:25
The South Cliff.
lt's 400 feet straight up...
:10:28
...and it can't be climbed
by man or beast.
:10:31
And that's where you come in.
:10:34
That was your idea too?
:10:36
That's right.
:10:38
l want you to get me and my team
over there and on top of that cliff.
:10:42
When you've done that, you can
take a richly deserved leave...
:10:46
...and a long-overdue promotion.
:10:48
l see.
