...in which case I'd advise you
to do it again.

1:44:05
Now listen, those sand screens are clear.
1:44:08
I've checked everything
under that cowling pretty thoroughly.

1:44:11
And if I'm to fly this machine
I'm gonna test run that engine today.

1:44:19
If we'd start this engine now...
1:44:22
...the vibration will put unnecessary
strain on the whole structure.

1:44:27
Furthermore, there are only
seven cartridges in the Coffman starter.

1:44:32
It could take four or five
to start the engine...

1:44:35
...leaving us only with two or three
when we are ready to depart.

1:44:40
I imagine even you will understand that
once we have used all seven cartridges...

1:44:45
...we have no further means
of starting this engine.

1:44:50
Any doubt about starting this engine,
now is the time to find out.

1:44:57
Mr. Towns.
1:45:00
You behave as if stupidity were a virtue.
Why is that?

1:45:13
Lew, I'm gonna run up this engine.
1:45:16
A couple of you guys come up
and pull this prop through.

1:45:21
And that's an order.
1:45:27
No, you're not!
1:45:56
There's no point in going over it
all again.
