Co-Pilot
Mr. Valentine, what do you think's wrong with this aircraft?
John Valentine
There's an engine out.
[tries to think of something else, since no one will believe him about the creature]
Co-Pilot
Which one?
John Valentine
The one on the outside. Outboard No. 1. It's out, isn't it?
Co-Pilot
What makes you think that?
John Valentine
Never mind about that. It's true, isn't it?
Co-Pilot
Nine minutes ago, Outboard No. 1 was struck by lightning, there was a flame out, we lost it.
John Valentine
Lightning?
Co-Pilot
Lightning. Mr. Valentine, this aircraft has four engines. The possibility of us losing one, remaining three, is remote in the extremes.
John Valentine
You sure it was just lightning?
Co-Pilot
Absolutely. Listen, we're gonna be landing in about twenty minutes. There is the highest probability that we will survive this flight.
John Valentine
Okay.
[laughs in fear and disbelief]
