Transcript

In just about 30 seconds now, our ship will drop at least 19 men. We'll walk out on the Dutch saw as you can probably hear the snap as they check the lashing on the static line.

We're at Toronto back now. There it goes, you hear them shouts. Three, four, five, six, seven, eight. Nine, ten, seven, seven, twelve, thirteen, fifteen, fifteen, seventeen. He's going down, now. They're dropping just beside a little windmill near a church.

Hang in there . . . . very gracefully. We'll lightly relax because I said a moment ago, like nothing so much, as cacky dolls hanging beneath a green lampshade. See one man go down ? . .

Just not the little road. The whole sky is filled with power bounce so slowly it seems as old as they should get to the ground much faster.
