Catch-22 Page #2

- What plane?

- One of ours, sir. If I had one,

I could get the gasoline to Malta

and bring the eggs back.

All right.

And if I was taken off combat duty

until I get this into operation...

But...

I know I'm just

an acting mess officer, Colonel,

but it requires my full attention.

It's to everyone's benefit.

- Take whatever you need.

- Thank you.

What I hope to do is to give the men

the finest cuisine in the world.

- Isn't that something to shoot at?

- Yes, Milo, it certainly is.

With your permission, I'd like to

show you something I've had printed.

- What is it?

- Just an idea, sir. It's a share.

- A share?

- In M&M Enterprises.

If we get my ideas into practice,

it should be organised like a mart.

- A mart?

- A syndicate.

An enterprise. There are tremendous

profits to be made, Colonel.

- For us?

- For everyone.

What's good for M&M Enterprises

will be good for the country.

- You'll have our full cooperation.

- Thank you.

If I take a plane this afternoon,

I'll get this material to Alexandria.

There's a huge cotton crop this year.

- Cotton is a very liquid commodity.

- How much?

- We'll trade for it.

- With what?

Silk! Four thousand yards of silk.

How did you get hold of

so much silk?

Where the hell's my parachute?

All right, which one of you bastards

stole my parachute?

Hello, this is the bombardier here.

We gotta turn back.

Nately, we gotta turn back now.

Nately! Do you hear me up there?

We gotta turn back.

We're gonna turn back now.

Nately, let's turn back.

We're gonna turn back!

- What is it this time, Yossarian?

- Some bastard stole my chute!

- Anything the matter?

- My parachute. It's gone!

- Don't worry.

- What do you mean?

What do I do if I have to bail out?

Use my handkerchief?

That kind of humour in the face

of adversity keeps America strong.

I like you.

Aardvark, I'd like to kill you,

but I haven't got time.

You could have my chute

but I gave it to Milo.

- You gave it to Milo?

- He's got all the chutes.

He's got a hell of a deal

going for silk in Alexandria.

Maybe I do have time to kill...

- Looks like they've seen us coming.

- They've seen us!

- God, they've seen us!

- Get ready to dump those eggs.

They're shooting at me!

Where are we?

Aardvark, where are we?

- I think we're there.

- We're there?

We're there? We're there!

Get ready to turn!

Four, three...

two, one, drop! Let's go!

Turn right hard! Turn, turn!

Turn, you son of a b*tch! Turn right!

- Turn, turn right!

- Look at that.

I think we got 'em this time,

where it hurts. I can't hear you.

- Get back in the ship!

- What's that?

Climb, you bastard! Climb!

- Fire! Fire on board!

- Where's the fire?
