About a month ago.
:58:01
And?
:58:03
They're good. They've got
a lot of hills behind them.

:58:07
Any of 'em walk with a limp?
:58:09
Who in the hell could climb with a limp?
No, wait a minute.

:58:12
The German was limping.
Said he hurt himself in a fall.

:58:16
Freytag, he's a funny guy.
Makes noise like a leader.

:58:21
Family makes bug spray. Has a lot
of money, but doesn't like to talk about it.

:58:24
Anyway, he's got the look.
:58:26
What look?
:58:27
The look of a guy you couldn't
count on in a clutch.

:58:30
I wouldn't want to count on him
on that hill.

:58:33
- What about the Frenchman, Montaigne?
- He's all right.

:58:36
I think he's a little too old for the Eiger.
He's about your age.

:58:41
Screw off.
:58:42
I'd rather screw Montaigne's wife.
She's a real brick shit-house.

:58:45
Wait'll you catch her act.
She's a regular mantrap.

:58:48
I feel sorry for the bastard,
trying to keep his eyes on her.

:58:52
Yeah? And what about the Austrian?
:58:55
You'll love him.
:58:57
Meyer doesn't give a rat's ass
about anything except climbing.

:59:00
All the people I talk to say
he's the kind of climber like...

:59:04
...like you used to be.
:59:06
Before I got decrepit and weak?
:59:08
You didn't look so decrepit and weak
yesterday, punching out that wrestler.

:59:11
This Meyer's really something.
He killed a guy once.

:59:15
A porter on a climb was stealing
some food.

:59:18
He killed him with a knife.
Isn't that something?

:59:21
Sounds like a real charmer.
:59:22
Listen, John.
:59:24
If you got to rope yourself to anybody
on that hill, make damn sure it's Meyer.
