Optimistic? 40 00:02:40,400 --> 00:02:42,440 As in, "Optimistic our boys'll beat Brazil." 41 00:02:42,440 --> 00:02:45,240 That's not optimism, that's more like a wilful delusion. 42 00:02:45,240 --> 00:02:47,360 Like when you sat the inspectors' exam, Nev. 43 00:02:47,360 --> 00:02:49,800 What if they say no? Are we're screwed? 44 00:02:49,800 --> 00:02:52,280 Basically. The Force Tasking Group is the only funding body 45 00:02:52,280 --> 00:02:54,560 that can write the sort of cheque we're after.
