1 {scene: an airport mechanical workshop}
1 Monty: Can you fly us to Kiev?
1 Pilot: There's a snowstorm up there. Too dangerous.
2 Monty: What are you? Chicken?
2 Pilot: What? How dare you!
2 Monty: Too chicken for Kiev?
3 Pilot: Chicken for Kiev?! I'll show you! I'll serve it up on a plate! Follow me!
4 Prof. Jones: {standing with glazed eyes as others walk off} Mmmm...

Chicken Kiev is a classic Ukrainian dish, unfortunately now experienced by Westerners mostly as a reheatable frozen food item. If you get a chance, try some freshly made. Mmmm...

2014-10-10 Rerun commentary: Now those were the days. When you could find your pilot tinkering on the engine of the plane between flights. I'd like to see a modern jetliner pilot get into those Pratt & Whitney's with a spanner and a hammer!

Assuming they are fully qualified aircraft mechanics, of course. Or at least Overconfidently Cocky and Wearing Leather Flying Goggles.
