:43:03
I guess you have a lot of technical
equipment up there, right, Roy?

:43:06
Technical equipment. You wanna
talk about technical equipment, huh?

:43:11
Well, I'll tell you about
your technical equipment.

:43:14
That place is just full
of great big things. Oh.

:43:20
What about them stimulators?
Oh, Plank.

:43:24
Not stimulators.
That's simulators.

:43:27
Yeah, that's it.
What about them?

:43:29
Well, you wanna know
about simulators.

:43:31
Well, I guess you all heard
a lot about simulators...

:43:34
but I'm gonna tell you something
about 'em you never heard before.

:43:38
They gotta be dusted everyday and
wet-mopped once a week underneath.

:43:44
Uh, if this is secret stuff,
you don't have to...

:43:47
No, no, that's okay, Pa.
It's okay. Rush?

:43:50
Roy, you read a lot
about them centrifuges.

:43:53
What are they like exactly,
technically speaking?

:43:58
Technically speaking...
:44:01
Well, I guess,
technically speaking...

:44:03
you'd say that that's where
us guys go to get our "G's."

:44:07
Oh.
:44:10
"G's?" Uh, slip of the
lip will sink a ship.

:44:13
Uh, I better not go too far into
that, Plank. But I will tell you this.

:44:18
That thing goes so fast
that all the paint starts to peel.

:44:22
And that paint has to be scraped
and sanded down.

:44:25
The whole
thing has to be waxed.

:44:27
That's your centrifuge.
:44:29
During your reentry, when do
you open your drogue parachute?

:44:34
Uh, the usual time.
Uh, next question?

:44:37
- When is that?
- Uh, when it's time. Bert?

:44:40
Specifically when?
:44:42
When I darn well please,
that's when! Bert?

:44:46
Uh...
:44:48
what do they get for a haircut
at the center, Roy?

:44:50
Well, I wouldn't know
about that, Bert.

:44:54
Nobody touches this head
but you.

:44:57
Phoney!
