Duke: I"m surprised we haven't sighted any British supply vessels yet, Honey. We're right in the middle of the South Atlantic Shipping Lanes... Honey: Will we be arriving at the Falkland Islands on schedule, sir? Duke: I think so. Let me see... our last recorded position was here... we're bearing southeast at 18 knots... hmm... Well, it looks good. We may possibly be off by an inch or two, but it's nothing to get excited about. Honey: "One inch equals 1,000 miles." Duke: So we miss the opening festivities. Who's going to know the difference?

If he needs to go southeast to get to the Falklands, he’s probably already inland in Argentina.
