[ Helicopter Blades Whirring ]

DID YOU STEAL A KEY TO THE PATENT OFFICE ?

YEAH, BASICALLY.

LET ME GET THIS STRAIGHT. I GOT PULLED OFF AN OIL RIG,

FLOWN HALFWAY AROUND THE WORLD BECAUSE YOU STOLE MY DRILL DESIGN.

COULDN'T READ THE PLANS RIGHT AND DID A PISSPOOR JOB OF PUTTING IT TOGETHER.

PATENTS DON'T APPLY TO OUTER SPACE.

[ Dan ] YOU SHUT UP, QUINCY.

IT'S NOT GOING TO MARS ANYMORE. IT'S GONNA TRY TO SAVE THIS PLANET.

AND WE NEED TO KNOW WHAT'S WRONG WITH IT PRETTY QUICK.

YOU SAID WE DID A BAD JOB OF PUTTING IT TOGETHER ?

NO, I SAID...

YOU DID A PISSPOOR JOB OF PUTTING IT TOGETHER.

FIRST OF ALL, YOU GOT THE FLOW SYSTEM ALL REVERSED. LET ME GUESS.

- YOU'VE BEEN TEARIN' UP ROTORS AND YOU CAN'T FIGURE OUT WHY. - YEAH, THAT'S RIGHT.

WELL, THAT'S BECAUSE YOUR CAMS ARE ALL WRONG, MR. WIZARD.

WHO'S BEEN OPERATING THIS THING ?

RIGHT THERE.

WE'VE ACTUALLY--

- WE'VE HAD THEM TRAINING FOR EIGHT MONTHS SOLID NOW. - EIGHT WHOLE MONTHS ?

- WELL, PRETTY MUCH, YEAH. - WELL, GEE WHIZ.

WELL, THIS IS THE TEAM THAT HAS TO DO THE JOB UP THERE.

WE NEED YOU TO TRAIN THEM DOWN HERE.

WELL, MR. STAMPER, WHAT DO YOU THINK ?

YOU KNOW, DRILLING'S A SCIENCE. IT'S AN ART.

I'M A THIRD GENERATION DRILLER, DOIN' IT ALL MY LIFE.

I STILL HAVEN'T GOT IT ALL FIGURED OUT.

I ASSUME YOU SENT FOR ME BECAUSE SOMEBODY TOLD YOU I WAS THE BEST.

WELL, I'M ONLY THE BEST BECAUSE I WORK WITH THE BEST.

YOU DON'T TRUST THE MEN YOU'RE WORKING WITH, YOU'RE AS GOOD AS DEAD.

NOW YOU WANNA SEND THESE BOYS INTO SPACE, FINE.

I'M SURE THEY'LL MAKE GOOD ASTRONAUTS,

BUT THEY DON'T KNOW JACK ABOUT DRILLIN'.

WHAT'S YOUR CONTINGENCY PLAN ?

CONTINGENCY PLAN ?

YOUR BACKUP PLAN. YOU GOTTA HAVE SOME KIND OF BACKUP PLAN, RIGHT ?

NO, WE DON'T HAVE A BACKUP PLAN.

THIS IS IT.

THIS IS THE BEST THAT YOU COULD--

THAT THE GOVERNMENT-- THE U.S. GOVERNMENT CAN COME UP WITH.

I MEAN, YOU'RE NASA FOR CRYIN' OUT LOUD. YOU PUT A MAN ON THE MOON.

YOU'RE GENIUSES. YOU'RE THE GUYS THAT THINK THIS SHIT UP.

I'M SURE YOU GOT A TEAM OF MEN SITTIN' AROUND SOMEWHERE RIGHT NOW,

JUST THINKIN' SHIT UP AND SOMEBODY BACKIN' THEM UP.

YOU TELL ME YOU DON'T HAVE A BACKUP PLAN, THAT THESE EIGHT BOY SCOUTS RIGHT HERE,

THAT IS THE WORLD'S HOPE, THAT'S WHAT YOUR TELLIN' ME ?

YEAH.

OH, JESUS. DAMN IT.
