[Linds]Deep Core, Deep Core,

None other.

Oh, no.

[MetalBanging]

Howdy, boys. Hey, Lindsey.

I'll be damned.

Y'allshouldn'tbe downhere,

sweet thing. Mightruinyourstockings.

[ Chuckles ]

The bad news is we got eight

hours in this can blowing down,

and the worse news is it's gonna

take us three weeks to decompress later.

We've all been fully briefed,

Mrs. Brigman.

Just don't call me that, okay ?

I hate that.

All right. Well, what would you

like us to call you ?

''Sir'' ?

Okay, here we go.

[Air Hissing]

Let's watch each other closely

for signs of H.P.N.S.

High Pressure Nervous Syndrome-- muscle

tremors, usually in the hands first,

- nausea, increased excitability--

- Disorientation--

And a partridge

in a pear tree

[ Clears Throat ]

About one person in 20 can't handle it.

Theyjust go ''buggo.''

Look, they've all made runs

to this depth. They're checked out.

I understand that. What I'm saying

is that it's impossible...

to predict

just who's susceptible--

They're checked out.

- These guys are SEALs ?

- Yeah. These guys ain't so tough.

I've fought guys

plenty tougher than them.

Now we get to hear how

you could have been a contender ?

- Hey ! You see this ?

- Yeah.

They used to call this

''the Hammer.''

Wow.

Y'all are done to a turn

and ready to serve.

Everybody okay ?

- They're reallyvery sweet.

- [ Chuckles ] Oh, yeah.

Hey ! I don't remember putting

a wall here. Howyou doing,Jammer ?

-Pretty good. How areyou, little lady ?

-I'm okay.

- I want a full check on that gear.

- Yes, sir.

- These guys are about

as much fun as a tax audit.

- You got that right.

Hippy, you'regonnagive

thatrata disease.

Hi, Linds.

Well, well.

Mrs. Brigman.

Not for long.

You never did like

being called that, did you ?

Not even when

it meant something.

- Is that One Night in Flatbed ?

- Yeah. Who else ?
