It's, like, one phone call. "Hello, they won't let us take off. Can you fix it?" "Oh, no, monsieur. Big volcano. No take off. " "Well, this is General Glen McMahon we're talking about here. " "Oh, General Glen McMahon. Oh, I did not know. Why didn't you say that? Pardon, monsieur, of course you may take off. " - Done! How hard is that? - I've made the calls. Believe me. Listen, we are the f***ing US military. We practically invented everything! And now we have some chinless f*** in Brussels who's telling us we can't fly our own plane because of a volcano in Greenland. What are we supposed to do? Sit around here in Paris and wait for it to "stop erupting"? I don't know, Greg. This isn't exactly a situation that I've been in before. Okay, bear with me on this one. I think I might have just solved our problem. I really can't tell you why these guys got so loose in front of me. Or why Glen let them get so loose. I can only put it down to hubris. These guys thought they were the most important guys in the world... with the most important jobs in the world. Maybe they assumed I thought they were as amazing as they did. What are you writing? Hmm? What are you writing?
