Doctor B. N. Wallis, C.B.E., F.R.S.:
Give me a few more days. A week at most.

RAF Officer at trials:
If you go and change the design. the factories will never do it in time...

Doctor B. N. Wallis, C.B.E., F.R.S.:
I shan't change the design. I must just strengthen the casing and try a new method of release.

RAF Officer at trials:
Oh well, a week from today. If it doesn't work then, we shall have to call it off. There's nothing else we can do.
