You will see we have all we need:
:48:04
Welding torches, steel cable,
all the tools we need.
:48:07
For example, this here,
it all looks quite adequate.
:48:11
- Why were they being returned?
- You know what engineers are like.
:48:15
They just love shiny new tools, especially
if someone else is paying for them.
:48:52
The prototype I have in mind would
have to fly at the first attempt.
:48:56
To achieve that, Mr. Moran, requires
a pilot of quite outstanding capabilities.
:49:02
Granted, this may not be the best
possible advertisement...
:49:06
...but Frank Towns is one of the few
really great pilots left in this worid.
:49:11
- Oh, really?
- Yes, oh, really!
:49:14
He flew in planes that were n-nothing
more than bits and pieces...
:49:18
...before you went to school.
:49:19
That's what is wrong. He's remembered
everything and learned nothing.
:49:25
However, since he apparently finds it
necessary to run off into the desert...
:49:30
...in pursuit of a lunatic who could be
of no practical value to this project...
:49:36
...the question is entirely academic.
Don't you think so, Mr. Moran?
:49:41
I agree. Entirely academic.
