2. In which movie do we hear this confusing dialogue?

9. In this scene from a classic war movie, we see a group of officers planning to make a parachute jump. The first line is spoken by someone quite enthusiastic, whilst the second line is spoken by Major Shears, who would rather be somewhere else.
"Sir, it's most annoying. They say, in view of the time element, they don't think a few practice jumps would be worthwhile. They say if you make one jump, you've only got a 50% chance of injury, two jumps, 80%, and three jumps, you're bound to catch a packet. The consensus of opinion is that the most sensible thing for Major Shears to do is to go ahead and jump, and hope for the best".
"With or without a parachute?"

Sure is lucky I'm a rich man, yes, sirree, sure is lucky. Got any idea how much I'm worth, son? Ask Gooper. He knows. He knows to the penny unless I missed my guess. Close on ten million dollars in cash and blue chip stocks besides twenty-eight thousand of the richest acres this side of the Valley Nile".
