Challenges of Transporting Sensitive Equipment
Corlette: [Discussing using a helicopter to transport the nitro]
Well, what do you think?
Billy White:
Well the main problem is the vibration. This thing is like a damn egg-beater, no matter how we shock mount something it'll still have a severe lateral vibration.
Corlette:
I thought maybe you could swingload it on a pallet.
Billy White:
About twenty feet down there'd be no vibration, but then the problem is turbulence, you might move it a half mile that way but not 200, never had a flight around here without some turbulence.
Corlette:
What are you saying Billy?
Billy White:
Not with a chopper, there's no way.
Corlette:
I'll double the amount if you can think of a way.
Billy White:
It's not the money Mr. Corlette. No one's going to get into a chopper with that shit, you'd need a suicide jockey.

A Safe Haven for Those in Hiding
Scanlon:
Where am I going?

All I can say is it's a good place to lay low.
