Assault on a Queen Page #2

---

What's that?

Iwas

in the submarines also.

Hmm. I wonderwho invaded Europe?

Everbody I've met

in the past 24 hours

is an old salt.

We have the makings

of a select fraternity.

That so?

Rather fortunate

Though,

that we didn't meet

during the war.

I commanded the U-17.

There is always

two sides to every question,

Mr. Brittain.

True.

What kind of sub were you on?

Fleet type.

I was in the Pacific.

We operated

in the Atlantic.

Come out alright, did you?

No. I was drowned

off Okinawa.

I mean your sub.

The man's here

to take the job, Mr.Lauffnaur.

I only reminisce

about the war on Memorial Day.

We'll try it again

after lunch.

Well, well, well, well.

Here you are, Eric.

Thank you..

You decided to join us, eh Mr. Brittain?

I decided to work

for you.

I am glad to hear that.

One hour down,six hours off.

Three days.

That'll be 700 bucks,

payable in advance.

That's

a little stiff, isn't it?

I might be

a little stiff

before I find

your galleon.

That's the tab,

Rossiter.

It's alright.

In advance.

Yeah, fine, fine.

It's a deal.

We've got

new equipment

coming over

from Orlando's.

It'll be here

tomorrow before lunch.

It's a good start.

Thank you.

What kind of a compressor

have you got?

We're using Trench's

Not with me

you're not using Trench's.

There's a marine store

downtown called Daley's.

You can rent one

down there.

Check your boat in.

We'll use mine.

[DOOR CLOSES]

Firm type, huh?

Knows what he wants.

Wear slacks

from now on will you, Baby?

I don't want him frustrated.

Everything fit?

Itspassable.

[STARTS ENGINE]

Now let's go..

Checked out

the compressor.

And the helmet, too.

Any special

instructions?

Nothing special.

Just keep me alive.

You bet.

What's holding

things up fellas?

Patience, Victor,

Patience.

He's only good

to us alive.

You told us one hour

at a time.

I'd like you

to put something

into that hour.

I've got afew

thousand pounds

of weight on me,

so relax.

It's going

to take a while.

[MARK]

Hey, partner.

What have you got,

Mark?

The fatigue

and the blues.

Pull me up,

Linc.

Now, wait a minute.

You've still got

8 or 10 minutes of the hour left.

Well, you can

have them back,

Buddy.

Pull me up.

Pull him up right away.

Let's not have

the same thing happen again.

All right.

Pull him up.

Hold it.

wait a minute.

hold it.

Did you find something?

Think so, yeah. i/

What is it Mark?

What is it?

It's a sight

to delight

Mr. Lauffnaur's

practiced eye.

I wish you were

down here,

i/Herr Kapitan.i/

The nostalgia

would kill you.

Describe it.

Hmm, very simple. i/

It's a German submarine, i/

Kapitan.

Ask Rossiter

if he'll settle
