Sound Clips From the Film
Major Cook tells Brevik of his plans to build the glider
Part 2



Brevik:

You didn't need to drag me here in the middle of the
night for a joke.
Major Cook:


No, wait a minute, I'm not joking. Now listen to me.
There's a current of warm air that rises from the river
on this side of the castle. It's called a thermal.
Brevik: Ya, I know what it's called.
Major Cook:

Then you know it provides enough lift to take a glider
10,000 feet up in the air and maybe more.
Brevik: A glider?
Major Cook: A two man glider, to fly us into Switzerland.
Brevik: You're crazy! Why, that would need a wingspan...
Major Cook:



Of 32 feet, and a fuselage 20 feet long, a lift-off velocity
of 18 miles an hour, an airfoil surface of 120 square
feet, I've got the figures right up here in my head. I got
`em from Fitz.
Brevik:

You are crazy! You're out of your mind! But...we could
never...
Major Cook: We can and we will...but we're gonna need help.
