...one pint of water per person
per day. Is that right?

:19:03
Yes, that's right.
:19:05
Now, on the basis of the 15 gallons
in the emergency tank...

:19:09
...that gives us roughly 10 to 11 days.
:19:12
That is, of course, if we just sit here
and don't exert ourselves in any way.

:19:18
Hey, Lightning, do you hear that?
You're not to wear yourself out.

:19:23
As we are somewhat off our original
course, unless we are certain...

:19:28
...of being picked up, we ought to make
do with the absolute minimum.

:19:32
- Is that understood?
Hear, hear.

:19:35
- Hear, hear.
Yeah.

:19:36
- All right, Mr. Towns?
- Sounds reasonable.

:19:39
If we have enough water
for all that time...

:19:42
...couldn't we set aside
a little bit for washing?

:19:45
- Washing?
What a dumb thing.

:19:51
Hey, captain.
What are we supposed to do for grub?

:19:54
I reckon we ought to eat the monkey.
:19:56
As far as food is concerned,
we seem to be singularly fortunate.

:20:01
There happens to be an almost unlimited
supply of pressed dates on board.

:20:05
Pressed dates?
All they're good for is regularity.

:20:08
Yes, I quite agree.
:20:09
They were being sent back from Jebel
because nobody would eat them.

:20:13
Yes, I think that's about all.
:20:15
That's about all?
That's enough, isn't it?

:20:17
Thank you.
:20:23
Excuse me, but shouldn't some kind
of rescue plane have seen us by now?

:20:28
Don't worry. Someone will be along
even before you can think about lunch.

:20:32
Our accounts people will be waiting
for my Jebel operation report...

:20:36
...before they can get started
on the annual figures.

:20:39
How big a hole will a busted-up
sky truck make in your annual figures?

:20:45
There will be insurance, but insurance
companies move in mysterious ways.

:20:51
Like God, of course,
but not half as generous.

:20:54
- It's bound to be a setback.
- I imagine it will be.

:20:57
Anyway, you don't have to worry.
They'll be here.
