Assault on a Queen Page #5

---

of dollars in the bank

and gold in her

bullion room.

We could take

a million dollars.

I'll bet it could even

be more than a million.

This could be

the biggest heist ever.

It could be a lot

of things...

Assuming you can get

the Queen Mary

to stop for you.

Man has a big point.

Think of it this way.

Think of a submarine

as a big pistol

that holds men

and machinery.

Then you aim this pistol

at the head

of your victim...

Full of blanks,

mind you--

torpedoes

with dummy warheads.

But the victim,

the Queen Mary,

does not know this.

I believe we can assume

that our Queen

won't take

any unnecessary risks.

She'll allow herself

to be boarded.

Then, as Rosa

has suggested,

it's gold bullion

and cash.

We go back

to our submarine,

submerge,

leave the scene.

Yeah, and figure

the take.

A million bucks or more.

We could walk away

from this with nothing to worry about

for the rest

of our lives.

Yeah, I like it.

It makes sense.

It makes sense

if you win the game.

The game you're a playingis that

you're holding an unloaded pistol at a stranger's head.

You figure he's going to throw up his hands.

Suppose the stranger

spits in your eye

and says,

"Go ahead and shoot."

What the hell are you

going to do then?

Now, hold on,

this is all a joke, right?

Nobody here thinks

this is going to work?

You just get this clear.

If you don't think

it can work,

you don't belong

on this trip.

I don't relish the ides

of being cooped up in a sub

with a caramel-colored

lush, anyway.

Forgive him, Linc, please.

He didn't mean it.

I'll take your word

for that.

Hey, come on,

this is ridiculous.

Why the argument, huh?

Let's get on with the,

uh, with the business.

Did you know

this thing is so wild, it can work?

It's so nutty

it can work.

Eric...

You think it's possible.

What about it?

I take it

you are willing.

We all have

special needs,

Mr. Brittain.

I wish it were

catching.

I'd like you along.

Let's take it by steps.

First we got o find

an enclosed mooring

somewhere

down the coastline

where it's nice and quiet,

nobody around, check?

Check.

Then tomorrow,

I'll go over

and see if I can't

raise that submarine.

Lieutenant Brittain, what a pity

we have never

before served in the same navy.

We should do

very well together.

You just see you run

a taut ship, Commander,

because in this little war,

we're going to need one.

Let's go.

Look at the buoy.

He must have reached

the sub.

How long will it take him, Eric?

15 minutes, half hour.

Maybe longer.

Not much longer.

It better not

take him much longer.

What will he do?

He'll go to the escape hatch.

If the trunk

underneath is flooded
