Talk about disaster.
What's he want to interfere for?

:28:06
- Take over for me.
- Let him do it. l'm having tea.

:28:10
- l'm a metal worker, not a stoker.
- When's a gardener's job stoking?

:28:14
Come on, matey. It'll be just like
working with your petunias.

:28:20
l'm fed up with this lark.
:28:23
- Let's settle it over a pint.
- Now you're talking.

:28:27
Don't know why he wants
it so hot anyhow.

:28:30
Let them see it
for themselves, use it.

:28:35
For instance...
:28:36
...cavorite trays and boots.
:28:40
Boots! Yes, of course! Simply enamel
the soles and a man would just...

:28:46
Just like that.
:28:49
That's right.
:28:51
l thought of boots last night.
Army surplus boots.

:28:55
- It's a basic idea...
- Only way to do it.

:28:58
Perhaps not the only way,
but for a start.

:29:02
We can do it together. Room enough
in the sphere for two people.

:29:06
You're not serious about going to
the moon, are you? Wasn't it a joke?

:29:11
We'd be firing ourselves off
the globe for nothing.

:29:15
If there was anything on the moon
worth discovering, there...

:29:20
It's exceptionally high in minerals.
:29:24
- Minerals?
- Minerals.

:29:27
- Including gold?
- Including gold.

:29:30
There's a theory that the minerals on
the moon are not in a molten magma...

:29:36
...but dotted about...
:29:38
...in nuggets.
:29:40
Rather like raisins in a fruitcake.
:29:44
Better than weightless boots,
isn't it?

:29:47
Come on, l've got something
to show you.

:29:57
How far would it be?
