Young JirôMr. Caproni, may I ask you a question? I know I can't be a pilot because of my eyesight. If I'm not a pilot, can I still design airplanes?
Caproni[smiles]Japanese boy, I've been around planes all my life, do you know how many I've flown? None! Not a one!
[laughs]
CaproniMany can fly airplanes, but I design them - I CREATE airplanes, and so can you! An aeronautical engineer!
Young JirôYes!
CaproniBut remember this, Japanese boy - airplanes are not tools for war, they are not for making money. Airplanes are beautiful dreams. Engineers turn dreams into reality.
CastorpYes. A good place for forgetting. Make a war in China - forget it. Make a puppet state in Manchuria - forget it. Quit the League of Nations - forget it. Make the world your enemy - forget it.
