Jonathan Hemlock, Jean-Paul Montaigne.
1:16:04
- Jean-Paul.
- I've looked forward to meeting you.
1:16:07
My pleasure.
1:16:08
This is my wife, Anna.
1:16:12
Hello. Care for a drink?
1:16:16
And this is Karl Freytag.
1:16:19
- Karl.
- Herr Doctor.
1:16:23
And this is Andrel Meyer.
1:16:25
- Hello.
- I've read a lot about you.
1:16:28
I used to read a lot about you.
1:16:29
It seems you've read a lot
about each other.
1:16:32
- It's snowing. How're the weather reports?
- Not good.
1:16:35
A couple of good days, and we've got
a bunch of weak fronts moving in.
1:16:39
It'll be pretty dicey after that.
1:16:41
- That settles it.
- Settles what?
1:16:43
We must leave immediately.
1:16:45
Do we have time to finish our drinks?
1:16:52
I mean, as soon as possible.
1:16:54
With a storm coming in,
in maybe four days?
1:16:56
The Eiger has been climbed in two.
1:16:58
Supposing you don't make it in two?
1:17:00
Supposing you get pinned down
by the weather?
1:17:03
Benjamin has a point.
We must not take childish risks.
1:17:07
One can't climb without some risk.
1:17:09
Perhaps the young face these risks
more easily.
1:17:12
Good weather, bad weather.
Anytime's good for climbing.
1:17:15
An impasse. Two in favor, two opposed.
The democratic process.
1:17:19
What do you suggest, Doctor?
That we climb halfway up?
1:17:26
- Ben has a vote.
- But he'll not be climbing with us.
1:17:30
He's our ground man. Until we hit
the wall, he has complete control.
1:17:35
Has that been decided?
1:17:36
It's always like that.
1:17:38
The ground man has the last word now,
and the leader once we're on the face.
1:17:43
That's another issue. Who's the leader?
1:17:46
I thought that was all settled.
I thought you were gonna lead.
1:17:51
That was decided before the American
member of the team had his accident.
1:17:56
We should make sure we agree on
who's to lead, now that you've joined us.
