Got a date

     "You got any idea what this is all about?" Arnold snapped. "This isn't just a toy, you know."

    "We're submerging," Jim said cheerfully. "We're going down around five hundred feet. Then we'll find a passage and get out of it into Todahe Bay. There we'll find the Copenhagen loaded with Submarines, and we'll shoot her one in the pants - I hope."

    "You hope!" Arnold said sarcastically. "You mean, I hope! And if something happens and you're wrong?"

    "We'll wash out," Jim said simply and shrugged.

    "Yeah?" William said. "That's oay for you, but I've got a date with a girl in Makassar."
