:09:03
I'm due for rotation myself
in a couple of months,
:09:06
if I don't cause trouble
or break any rules.
:09:09
One of the rules says I can't ground
anyone just because he asks me to.
:09:13
Can you ground someone who's crazy?
:09:15
Of course. The rules say
I have to ground anyone who's crazy.
:09:18
I'm crazy! Ask anybody.
Ask Nately, Dobbs, McWatt...
:09:22
- Orr, tell him!
- Tell him what?
:09:25
- Am I crazy?
- He's crazy. He won't fly with me.
:09:28
I'd take good care of him
but he won't. He's crazy, all right.
:09:32
- See that? They all say I'm crazy.
- They're crazy.
:09:36
- Ground them.
- Why don't they ask me to?
:09:38
- Because they're crazy!
- Of course they're crazy.
:09:42
You can't let crazy people decide
whether you're crazy or not.
:09:48
- Is Orr crazy?
- Of course he is.
:09:51
He has to be, if he keeps flying
after all those close calls.
:09:54
- Then why not ground him?
- He has to ask me.
:09:57
- That's all he's gotta do?
- Yes.
:10:00
- And then you can ground him?
- No. Then I cannot ground him.
:10:04
- There's a catch.
- A catch?
:10:06
Sure, Catch-22. Anyone who wants
to get out of combat
:10:10
isn't really crazy,
so I can't ground him.
:10:15
Let me see if I got this straight.
:10:17
In order to be grounded,
I've got to be crazy
:10:20
and I must be crazy to keep flying.
:10:22
But if I ask to be grounded,
that means I'm not crazy any more
:10:26
- and I have to keep flying.
- You've got it! That's Catch-22.
:10:35
- That's some catch, that Catch-22.
- It's the best there is!
:10:42
Good afternoon, this is Major Danby,
your Flight Operations Officer,
:10:47
welcoming you to today's mission.
:10:49
You've all been briefed
on this morning's run,
:10:52
so I won't go over it again.
:10:54
There's no sense naming names, since
the enemy is probably listening,
:10:58
and there's no reason I can think of
