:56:04
...and tag it onto this port boom.
Is that correct?
:56:08
Well, yes. The tapers
will be the wrong way, but-
:56:11
The tapers? Forget about the tapers!
You know what that wing weighs?
:56:15
I would estimate it at something
just over a ton.
:56:18
That's just about right.
There are eight of us.
:56:20
Do you think you can lift
250 pounds, Mr. Dorfmann?
:56:24
We use wedges and levers.
:56:25
There is also a winch
and we can construct an A-frame.
:56:28
All right, we'll have levers and wedges
and we'll throw in a winch.
:56:32
This bunch is living on pressed dates
with a sip of water once in a while.
:56:37
In a couple days, nobody's gonna have
the strength to do anything around here.
:56:41
That is a very good point.
:56:44
The heavy work will be done first.
The wing will be moved tonight.
:56:48
- Tonight?
- Yes, I've worked out...
:56:50
...a simple winding gear for use
with the starboard generator...
:56:53
...which will keep the batteries charged
and provide lighting.
:56:57
I see no immediate problems.
:56:58
Unless you have some more questions,
I still have some calculations to make.
:57:04
I thought it was all cut and dried.
:57:06
You mean you have a few things
you haven't figured out yet?
:57:09
Well, naturally I discontinued
my work...
:57:12
...when you embarked
on your romantic search for Mr. Cobb.
:57:16
We do need a pilot on this project...
:57:18
...and frankly, I considered your chances
of survival quite remote.
:57:22
However, now that you are with us
again, I can complete my calculations.
:57:26
- I see no insoluble problems.
- Well, I'll give you one.
:57:30
You say building this thing of yours
will take 12 days. Well, that's just fine.
:57:34
If we're real lucky, we just have
enough water to last another 10.
:57:40
We have several gallons
of antifreeze.
:57:42
We can distill enough to provide
for another four or five days.
:57:46
But I agree water will be
a critical factor.
:57:49
Maybe we'll be dead before
you finish this and maybe we won't.
:57:52
That's what you'd call a critical factor.
:57:54
Let me tell you something
that makes nonsense out of this.
:57:58
- Please do.
- I won't give you...
:57:59
...the old veteran flyer routine,
Mr. Dorfmann.
