:25:02
- Did you steal a key
to the Patent Office ?
- Yeah, basically.
:25:05
Let me get this straight.
I got pulled off an oil rig,
:25:08
flown halfway around the world
because you stole my drill design.
:25:11
Couldn't read the plans right and did
a pisspoor job of putting it together.
:25:15
- Patents don't apply to outer space.
- [ Dan ] You shut up, Quincy.
:25:18
It's not going to Mars any more.
It's gonna try to save this planet.
:25:21
And we need to know
what's wrong with it pretty quick.
:25:23
- You said we did a bad job
of putting it together?
- No, I said...
:25:26
you did a pisspoor job
of putting it together.
:25:29
First of all, you got the flow system
all reversed. Let me guess.
:25:32
- You've been tearin' up rotors
and you can't figure out why.
- Yeah, that's right.
:25:36
Well, that's because
your cams are all wrong, Mr Wizard.
:25:38
Who's been operating this thing?
:25:41
- Right there.
- We've actually--
:25:44
- We've had them training
for eight months solid now.
- Eight whole months?
:25:47
- Well, pretty much, yeah.
- Well, gee whiz.
:25:50
Well, this is the team
that has to do the job up there.
:25:52
We need you to train them down here.
:25:54
Well, Mr Stamper, what do you think ?
:25:56
You know, drilling's a science.
It's an art.
:25:59
I'm a third generation driller,
doin' it all my life.
:26:01
I still haven't got it all figured out.
:26:03
I assume you sent for me because
somebody told you I was the best.
:26:07
Well, I'm only the best
because I work with the best.
:26:09
You don't trust the men you're working
with, you're as good as dead.
:26:13
Now you wanna send
these boys into space, fine.
:26:15
I'm sure they'll make good astronauts,
:26:17
but they don't know jack about drillin'.
:26:20
- What's your contingency plan?
- Contingency plan?
:26:23
Your backup plan. You gotta have
some kind of backup plan, right?
:26:25
No, we don't have a backup plan.
:26:27
- This is it.
- This is the best that you could--
:26:29
that the government--
the U.S. government can come up with.
:26:32
I mean, you're NASA for cryin' out loud.
You put a man on the moon.
:26:35
You're geniuses.
You're the guys that think this shit up.
:26:39
I'm sure you got a team of men
sittin' around somewhere right now,
:26:41
just thinkin' shit up
and somebody backin' them up.
:26:43
You tell me you don't have
a backup plan, that these
eight Boy Scouts right here,
:26:46
- that is the world's hope,
that's what you're tellin' me?
- Yeah.
:26:50
Oh, Jesus. Damn it.
:26:52
We're a little short on time here.
Will you help us?
