:38:01
...proficient in
such obsolete technology.
:38:06
Given the short amount of time...
:38:08
...he's the only engineer
to do the job.
:38:14
So Frank Corvin's band of...
:38:17
...Leisure World aviators
are going into space.
:38:20
NASA agree to all this?
Did the Russians?
:38:23
- Frank didn't give us a lot of choice.
- I figured that.
:38:26
You hate each other way too much
to have cooked this up together.
:38:31
Count me out.
:38:33
I think you guys
need to get a new flight director.
:38:36
You know, one thing
is driving me nuts, though.
:38:40
How did a guidance system from Skylab
end up in a Russian bird?
:38:46
I don't know, Gene, but apparently
I'm the man who can fix it.
:38:51
Grow up, will you, Frank?
Can't you be a team player for once?
:38:56
Why can't you assist my astronauts
as an engineer?
:38:59
If I wasn't 100% sure that my guys
could do as well as your astronauts...
:39:04
...I wouldn't go anywhere near it.
:39:07
Still the same old Frank, huh?
:39:09
Well, that's the consensus
around here.
:39:13
So you fellas made a deal?
Fine. Here's my deal.
:39:18
I am the flight director and
I can pull the plug on this one.
:39:22
When it's over, it's over.
:39:24
I am not turning over
a new space shuttle...
:39:27
...to rookies with a month's training.
You're taking two of my guys.
:39:31
Ethan, who's a brown-nosing snot
and Roger, who's a cocky little shit.
:39:36
But they're the two best astronauts.
:39:39
They fly or the package
stays on the ground.
:39:42
- Deal?
- Well, okay, Gene.
:39:46
And if I sense for one second...
:39:48
...that your team isn't cutting it
physically or mentally...
:39:51
...you're off,
and my original team flies.
:39:55
So let's see if you still
got it to go.
:39:58
Suck it up, Frank.
