such as bringing girls up to your room in the middle of the night? Each man here is devoting long hours of training to prepare for it, and doing many things above and beyond the strict call of duty, such as morale tours of factories. Each man here has volunteered to do a job. I'd advise you not to try and foist your view of morality on anybody else in this group. I'm talking about keeping our pants zipped and our wicks dry around here! I'm talking about the playing around that's going on. You know and I know this could lead to something very unfortunate. I mean, we've got the opportunity of a lifetime and I'm sorry but I am not going to stand by and let other people compromise the whole darn thing. I don't want anything to put this program in a bad light. What Gus is saying here is that we've got to stick together on this deal. And what that comes down to is who is gonna control this thing from here on out. So what we have to do is to alter the experiment. And we know more about what we need to fly this thing than anybody else.

Us, a bunch of college-trained chimpanzees!Īlright, so what Gus is saying is that we've got to change things around here. But what Gus is saying is that what they're trying to do to us is send a man up to do a monkey's work. Well, none of us wants to think that they're gonna send a monkey up to do a man's work. What Gus is saying is that we all heard the rumors that they want to send a monkey up first. What Gus is saying is that we're missing the point. You've got it all wrong, the issue here ain't pussy. You cannot tell a pilot what he's doing when he's not flying! We have got a tremendous responsibility here. Whether we deserve it or not, people are going to look up to us. John's right! Now, whether we like it or not, we're public figures.
