[ Agitated Shouting, Indistinct ]
:34:03
It's gone, you fools!
:34:07
- [ Whistles ]
-[ Shouting Continues ]

:34:10
I have an idea.
:34:12
I have an idea.
:34:14
I can get us out of here.
:34:16
I can get us out of here.
:34:20
I've been examining the plane.
:34:23
You see, the-- the C-1 1 9...
:34:26
is a twin-boom design...
:34:29
and the starboard boom here
isn't damaged...

:34:32
which is great because if-if
the starboard engine stays where it is--

:34:36
at the forward end
of the starboard boom--

:34:38
this boom then becomes the fuselage...
:34:42
becomes the plane.
:34:44
Do you see what /'m saying?
:34:46
And-And while the port area
of the tail unit is intact...

:34:51
we will still have to redesign
the tail section.

:34:55
What the hell is he talking about?
:34:57
He's talking about
building a new airplane.

:34:59
- Out of the old one.
-[ Elliott ] Yes, Captain.

:35:03
And flying ourselves out of here.
:35:06
Yeah, why didn't I think of that?
:35:09
Why don't we build a swimming pool,
while we're at it?

:35:11
[ Laughing ]
Oh, that's funny.

:35:14
Yeah.
:35:17
Well, you know,
there are no component problems...

:35:19
and we have all the parts and tools
we need on board.

:35:22
- I assure you, we can do it.
- It's impossible.

:35:25
At first glance, it seems impossible
that a bee should fly...

:35:28
but it does.
:35:30
I think a bee stung you
on your big dumb-ass head.

:35:35
What do you know about airplanes?
:35:37
I design them, Mr. Towns.
:35:40
That's what I know about airplanes.
:35:45
You might have mentioned that little piece
of information a bit earlier on, Elliott.

:35:53
Who do you work for?
What company?

:35:56
Sizemore and Pratt.
They're in Long Beach.

:35:59
They do mostly experimental aircraft.
