what this detail's all about. The potential for catastrophe. We don't want any Munich massacres out here. Are you talking about crowd control from the air? Give that man a cigar. That's been tried. It didn't work out so hot. -Where was that? -Vietnam. We added a few new wrinkles. -Such as? -You'll see, Frank. You'll see. This thing has antiterrorist capabilities. You saying it's armed? That I am. That it is. That sounds like it now. It's illegal to arm police helicopters. That would depend on the circumstances, wouldn't it? A lot of people ain't gonna like this. What do you call this, an "airbuster"? The Special. But somebody hung a nickname on it. -What? -Somebody hung a nickname on it. Blue Thunder. Gentlemen, take your seats. Here she comes. She don't look normal... ...she don't fly normal, because she ain't normal. This whole ship is heavily armoured... ...with Nordoc NATO armour one inch thick. This ship is equipped with a forward mounted 20 mm electric cannon. Its six barrels are capable... ...of firing 4000 rounds of ammunition per minute. And that, gentlemen, is one hell of a shit storm in anybody's language. Now, let's take a look... ...and watch the lady strut her stuff. The red dummies are terrorists, white are civilians. Innocent bystanders. The object is for our pilot to knock out... ...the red dummies and the black cars. He shouldn't touch any of the others. In a riot situation, we just want to get the bad guys... ...and protect the innocents. Oh, my God! That kind of firepower would be used in our worst-case scenario... ...like armed insurrection. It's comforting to know you got it on tap. Gentlemen, your attention. Notice the selectivity of the firing. This is not a strafing run where you tear up a whole street. This little lady picks her targets carefully. Now you watch. Look at that. All the red dummies are blown to hell. And a few white ones. One civilian dead for every 1 0 terrorists. An acceptable ratio. Unless you're one of the civilians. All right. Last pass, gentlemen. Anybody wanna bet on the school bus? We haven't told our pilot about the bus. Let's see if he can pick up on what's wrong with it. Damn it! Bloody gun! Now, if you come down below, we'll take a closer look... ...and I'll be glad to answer any questions you may have. Terrific shooting, colonel. It was beautiful. Beautiful, was it? Goddamn it! I had another stoppage. I nearly killed you on that second pass. If it happens again, I'll have their balls. There's somebody I want you to meet. Well, what do you know! Friend of yours? An old war buddy. The bastard tried to have me court-martialled once. Sorry I brought it up. Look who it isn't. Colonel, this is Captain Braddock of Astro Division. And Frank Murphy. He'll do the actual testing over the city. Finally made colonel? If you're nice, nice things happen to you. I'll try to remember that. Step this way for any questions. How did we draw him? He and his observer were assigned to us. -I didn't realize you were acquainted. -Only too well, I'm afraid. I'd have had him up on charges if he hadn't caught some shrapnel. He's totally unsuitable for our purpose. I'll call Mr. Holmes tonight. Don't bother him. I think we can handle it. --30 million candlepower night sun with an infrared filter. Over here is your TV camera, with 1 00-to-1 zoom lens. -We could've used this in Nam. -We could've used something. Do you think you can fly it? You flew it, didn't you? I'll check you out myself. Be on the pad, 1 2 sharp. Twelve sharp. Catch you later. Stand back from there. Irritating little cocksucker, isn't he? -Tequila breath! -My man in the sky. -How do you like day shifts? -My bride's happier. But me? -What's happening? -I gotta go take a flight check. What do you make of this? What it is? I found it where Diana McNeely was killed. I think it's about that urban ------------------------------ Читайте также: - текст Терминатор 3: Восстание Машин на английском - текст Сверхновая на английском - текст Кин-Дза-Дза на английском - текст Никто не знает про секс на английском - текст Donggam на английском |
