Okay. It's coming.

Okay. Tell them we're sending them a T/M 2 cal.

Gus Grissom

A T/M 2 cal is coming.

01 50 07
John Young

I don't see where it says for us to do that, but I guess that's all right. I think we should have done it on the first pass.

One of these pills came off.

01 50 41
Canary CapCom

And I have a Two-Bravo time.

01 50 46
John Young

I thought they weren't going to give those times to us.

01 50 49
Gus Grissom

Stand by.

01 51 06
John Young

If either one of these things leaks, we can just close up shop.

01 51 15
Gus Grissom

Okay. What's the Two-Bravo time?

Corn beef sandwich.

01 52 28
Gus Grissom

Where did that come from?

01 52 30
John Young

I brought it with me. Let's see how it tastes. Smells, doesn't it?

01 52 41
Gus Grissom

Yes, it's breaking up. I'm going to stick it in my pocket.

01 52 43
John Young

Is it?

01 52 49
John Young

It was a thought, anyways.

01 52 51
Gus Grissom

Yep.

01 52 52
John Young

Not a very good one.

01 52 54

Pretty good, though, if it would just hold together.
