: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.
:36:01
Mm-hmm. And you understand that
engine's got a 2,000-pound thrust?

:36:06
- Yes. So?
- When it gets started,
it's gonna tear your bee apart.

:36:11
Well, you'll just have to
be careful this time.

:36:14
The design is perfect. The only flaw
is that we have to rely on you to fly it.

:36:20
[ Scoffs ]
:36:24
I say we build the damn plane.
Why the hell not?

:36:27
- Get us out of here.
- Let's build it, man.

:36:29
It's better than doin' nothin',
fightin' over water.

:36:31
- It's worth a try.
- Oh, yeah. It's worth a try!

:36:35
If we had a few months and an unlimited
supply of water, which we don't.

:36:39
And if you do try,you won't live
:36:42
None of you will.
:36:45
- We could work.
- So what do you think we should do?

:36:50
- Nothing.
- What?

:36:52
The longer we wait, the better chance
we have of somebody spotting us.
