"Of course, the thing about airplanes, is that it's all or nothing. The chances are they'll get you first time,"

Otto pauses with his fork to his mouth,

"Just look at U-467. She won't be the last. Nearly us today. But if we can get past that, we're pretty much clear.

"Your destroyers on the other hand, are a lot less quick. But quicker by far than us. They know time is on their side. Bit by bit they'll wear us down, because they'll damage us enough, or wear us out enough, that at some point we must surface, or worse, can't"

"They haven't caught us yet, Otto"

"Maybe tomorrow"

"I've told you before, Otto. Tomorrow is a fairly fictional concept while we are at sea."

"But when we get back home, Sir?"

"A lot of tomorrows, Otto. A lot of them"
