Are you wounded? Are you bailing out? Peter: What's your name? June: June. Peter: Yes June, I'm bailing out. I'm bailing out but there's a catch, I've got no parachute. Tell me, do you believe in the survival of human personality after death? Peter: I thought you said you read my verses. [to June] Doctor Frank Reeves: Do you? June: I don't know, er, I'd never thought about it, do you? Doctor Frank Reeves: I don't know, I've thought about it too much. | |

Abraham Farlan: Can you prove it? Peter: Well give me time, sir. Fifty years will do. Abraham Farlan: But can you prove it? Peter: Well, can a starving man prove he's hungry except by eating? Abraham Farlan: Would you die for her? Peter: I would, but, er, I'd rather live. Child, where were you born? June: In Boston Sir. Abraham Farlan: Do you know this man? June: I think so. Abraham Farlan: You think so? June: I only met him a few days ago. Abraham Farlan: You hardly know him. How can you think you love him? June: But I do love him. Abraham Farlan: Nonsense my child. Doctor Frank Reeves: I object. Council will withdraw the expression. June: It's all right Frank. he's right. There's no sense in love. Abraham Farlan: Wisdom still flowers in Boston. Narrator: This is the universe. Big, isn't it. Don't be upset about the parachute, I'll have my wings soon anyway, big white ones. I hope it hasn't gone all modern, I'd hate to have a prop instead of wings! [to dead radio operator] So long, Bob. I'll see you in a minute. You'll know what we wear by now - a prop or wings! Look at her. Bob: Holy smoke! She looks like a nice girl. Doctor Frank Reeves: She is a nice girl. Bob: Hardly your type, Skip. Peter: I've fallen in love with her. Her accent is foreign, but it sounds sweet to me. We were born thousands of miles apart, but we were made for each other. [waking up after operation] Peter: Hello. June: Hello. Peter: We won. June: I know darling. Don't you know that any slip must be reported immediately? Conductor 71: I lost my head. Chief Recorder: Not long in the service? Conductor 71: I joined in the so-called Second Germinal of the so-called glorious French Revolution. Chief Recorder: I see. Natural death? Conductor 71: I lost my head. One is starved for Technicolor up there. [over radio] Where were you born? June: Boston. Peter: Mass.? June: Yes. Peter: That's a place to be born, history was made there. Are you in love with anybody? No, no don't answer that. June: I could love a man like you, Peter. Peter: I love you, June. You're life and I'm leaving you. Ah, there's June. She walks in beauty, like the night... Only she's cycling and it's daytime. [opening words, before faces shown on screen] Request your position. Come in, Lancaster. Come in, Lancaster. Peter: Position - nil, repeat nil. Age - 27, 27, did you get that? Very important. Education - interrupted, violently interrupted. Religion - Church of England. Politics - Conservative by nature, Labour by experience. What's your name? [talking to Peter] I've got bad news for you. June: Then why the grin? Doctor Frank Reeves: You're going with me. June: Where to? Doctor Frank Reeves: [talking to both June and Peter] To my house, for two reasons, first I want to meet this chap next time he drops in and second I like a nice girl around the house and she only come to see me to borrow a book, and she's a slow reader [speaking with strong French accent] Your time was up. But they missed you because of your ridiculous English climate. You are determined to get me into this... salade. Peter: And what about the salad you got me into? Sir, may I bring you up to date? We are living in the 20th century, not in the 18th. Abraham Farlan: May I bring you up to date, sir? We are not alive at all. | |
