Thor Heyerdahl:
[Meeting all in the bay]
This is Herman Watzinger, my second in command. For the simple reason that without him no one could have been first in command. Herman these are my two fantastic radio operators: Torstein. War Hero, nerves of asbestos. As far as we know, he has only two weaknesses: whiskey and women - Knut Haugland, also a war hero, and I know Knut hates me for saying it, but I must be allowed to call him a legend. That is what you are, Knut - Erik Hesselberg...
Erik Hesselberg:
[ironic]
No legend.
Thor Heyerdahl:
...but you have saved my life. Erik and I grew up together in Larvik. Erik has one unique skill that we are going to appreciate. Erik has been at sea before. I'm sure you have some questions...
Erik Hesselberg:
[Walking toward Thor]
Maybe I should introduce you first. This is Thor. A pompous, self-centered weirdo, but a very good leader. And because he is, we are about to do what Tiki did 1500 years ago. We are going to...
Thor Heyerdahl:
We will build a raft.
Erik Hesselberg:
And...
Thor Heyerdahl:
[laughling]
And drift into the sunset.
Torstein Raaby:
[curious]
Where is the raft?
Thor Heyerdahl:
[ironic]
You're sitting on it.
