Rozmowa pilotów po akcji:
REX
Don't listen to the bloody line-shooter. I had a perfectly good fix on him and then Andrew
came screaming out of the sun and snatched him right out of my teeth.
DOUGLAS
Did you down him?
ANDREW
I don't know. He was limping back in low cloud the last I saw.
DOUGLAS
You didn't go after him?
ANDREW
We were nearly out of fuel.
REX
You should have left him to me. I'd have seen to it.
ANDREW
If I'd left him to you, we'd be pulling you out of the drink right now.
REX
Like hell...
ANDREW
If we could find you.

wyławialibyśmy Cię z wody

tak powinno wystarczyć dla polskiej audiencji, ale możesz iść w dosłowność, albo coś innego w tym kierunku ukuć

dosłownie 'the drink' to w żargonie pilotów kanał La Manche
