:54:01
if you care to watch.
:54:04
Here she goes.
:54:07
No, no, no, no, no...
:54:11
Man'll fly all right.
Just like a rock.
:54:18
It would have worked if, if,
if, if it weren't for...
:54:21
this infernal beard!
:54:33
I never, never
in my whole...
:54:43
Man will fly someday,
I tell you.
:54:47
I have been there.
I have seen it.
:54:50
Oh, I do hope so.
I've always dreamed about flying...
:54:54
that I was a bird and
that I could go sailing all over
:54:57
the sky high above everything.
:55:00
Prestadigitonium.
:55:02
It's my favourite dream.
:55:05
Oh, but then I suppose
everybody dreams about flying.
:55:09
I'm a bird! I'm a bird!
I'm a bird!
:55:12
Hold it, boy.
Not so fast. Not so fast.
:55:15
First, l... I'd better explain
the mechanics of a bird's wing.
:55:19
Now, these large feathers...
:55:22
are called the primaries.
:55:25
And, uh...
- And, uh, since when...
:55:27
do you know all about
bird's wings?
:55:30
I have made an extensive study
of birds in flight. And l...
:55:34
And if you don't mind,
I happen to be a bird.
:55:38
All right, Mr Know-lt-All,
he's your pupil.
:55:42
Ouch!
- Now, boy...
:55:44
flying is not merely
some crude mechanical process.
:55:50
It is a delicate art.
Purely aesthetic.
:55:54
Poetry of motion.
:55:56
And the best way to learn it
is to do it.
:55:58
Now, since we're pretty far up,
we'll start with a glide.
