:45:24
No. I vote no. Look, we've put
the goons to sleep exactly like you said.
:45:28
But just one little thing like this
and we're up the creek without a paddle.
:45:32
- Ives, sit down, won't you?
- Hello, sir.
:45:35
Hello. Squadron Leader Bartlett,
Captain Hilts.
:45:38
Flight Lieutenant MacDonald.
:45:41
I understand you two
are contemplating a blitz-out.
:45:44
Where'd you hear that... sir?
:45:47
MacDonald. It's Mac's job
to know everything that goes on.
:45:50
We thought perhaps we might talk it over.
:45:53
Why? It's only a two-man job.
:45:56
Everybody in the camp is supposed to
clear all escape attempts in advance
:45:59
with Squadron Leader Bartlett here.
:46:02
We don't necessarily want to interfere.
:46:04
It's just that... well, what sort of blitz
were you contemplating?
:46:10
We sneak out at night to a spot
I found near the wire - a blind spot.
:46:13
Then we dig down, take the dirt,
spread it on top so it won't make a pile,
:46:17
and then straight out.
:46:18
Ives here is a tunnel man, so he digs
in front, pushes the dirt behind him.
:46:22
I stash it behind me, then we burrow
through the dirt like a couple of moles.
:46:26
By dawn we're under the wire, across
the open space, into the woods and gone.
:46:37
Well...
:46:41
When do you intend to try this?
:46:43
- When do you intend to try it?
- Oh, tonight.
:46:47
Hilts, this may not be quite
the right time for this sort of thing.
:46:51
Look, sir, I've been in the bag
nearly three years now,
:46:54
bloody close to being wire-happy.
:46:57
It's a blitz-out for me, or forget it.
