2:19:01
Yes, but from what I hear,
I haven't missed very much.

2:19:04
If you're paroled, do you think
you can adjust to the modern world?

2:19:09
Why? What's so special
about your modern world, son?

2:19:15
Boeing 707. Weighs 247,000lb.
2:19:19
Carries a payload of 22,000.
2:19:21
Each engine has a thrust of 13,000lb.
2:19:24
Cruises at 595 miles an hour.
2:19:27
Just because a man's in prison
doesn't mean he's a boob.

2:19:30
Will you work with birds
where you're going?

2:19:33
I'm afraid not.
In the eyes of the prison bureau,

2:19:37
avian research is, as you boys
might put it, for the birds.

2:19:41
All right.
2:19:42
Just one more question. Do you have
any particular project in mind?

2:19:48
Nothing specific.
I pass the time profitably.

2:19:51
I read a great deal, reflect.
2:19:54
I might even spend a pleasant hour
measuring the size of a cloud.

2:19:57
- Thanks, Mr Stroud.
- Good luck to you.

2:20:10
Can I have a minute, Mike?
2:20:25
You must be Tom Gaddis.
2:20:28
That's right, Mr Stroud.
2:20:30
I heard you were getting a transfer.
I thought I might get a chance to see you.

2:20:34
You know me well enough to call me Bob.
2:20:37
- How did you know it was me?
- An old con's instinct.

2:20:42
Bob, I was hoping when we met
it might be under different circumstances.

2:20:47
What circumstances?
2:20:49
A release, not a transfer. I'm sorry.
2:20:51
Don't be a square, Tom. I'm going
to Springfield, and do you know what?

2:20:55
I'm going to sleep in a room
without a lock on the door. Think of it.

2:20:59
To be able to walk in and out
of a room any time you want.
