night, Howard. You ever go to a Communist Party meeting, Roland? TWA stock. How much? Fifty thousand shares. Ten. All right. This isn't gonna be that easy. He's been making big contributions on both sides of the aisle. And Jack Frye is out there lobbying everybody in town. The French and British ambassadors are lined up on his side. I'm telling you, TWA is serious about going international. Okay. Point, Mr. Hughes. I think it's time for you to introduce the community airline bill... ...on the floor of the Senate. - Is it done? - My people are finishing it right now. I also have to get you on the committee investigating the national defense. On the committee or chairman? I could be much more effective as chairman. It's a great public platform. You know, it generates a lot of press. - Wasn't Truman chairman of that committee? - Yeah, right. He's vice president. Look what he did with it. No, I think... I think chairman. What do you think? - Chairman. That is interesting. - Yeah. Let me show you these specs for the DC-4. Ava, what do you think about Trans World Airlines? Transcontinental and Western doesn't fit anymore. We're international, we need a name that reflects that. Trans World is good. Kind of peppy. TWA, right? That way you don't need to repaint any of the planes. That's you. Always pinching pennies. Hand me my wrap. Knock it off. I have something for you. Stay here. - What the hell is this? - It's a present. Go on, open it. Oh, a box of trash. You shouldn't have. Keep looking, keep looking. It's a Kashmiri sapphire. I had my boys all over the damn globe looking for this. Why? Because. Look. It matches your eyes. I am not for sale. For chrissakes, it's just a present. You can't buy me, Howard, so stop trying. Don't buy me any more diamonds or sapphires or any other damn thing. You can buy me dinner. How about that? Jesus, Ava. It's bad enough I have to endure those gym shoes of yours. But I get all dolled up and we go out in this jalopy without a hood. Ava, will you marry me? - No, Howard. - Well, why not, for heaven's sake? In the first place, I don't love you. In the second place, I'm still married. Look, you got girls stashed all over town. You got a damn harem just at the Bel-Air. Marry one of your bungalow girls. Those are employees. I won't marry an employee. How would that look? What is going on? - Oh, my God! - Goddamn it! Faith! - Faith, what the hell? - Look out! Goddamn, what the hell are you doing? - Are you okay, lady? - What are you doing with her? We are going to dinner. Now, get out of there. Get that crazy bitch away from me! Don't you love me anymore? Course I love you, pork chop. Ava, look over here. Howard. Hey. Juan Trippe is working with Senator Brewster now. They're after you. If the community airline bill becomes law, we are finished. Pan Am will have a monopoly on international travel. Well, how can they justify it? It's un-American. Brewster is saying that nationalized foreign carriers, like Air France... ...can offer lower rates because they don't have to compete. Let's get rid of competition and have a nationalized airline... ...and why don't we make it Pan Am? - I'm not kowtowing to anyone. - Howard, I need you up here. - One sec, Odie. Look, we are Trans World Airlines, all right? Get me something with a circle or a globe or something round, for God's sake. - Speak up. - One cut. I don't give a rat's ass. I'm not making a cut. I'll release it without a seal. We gotta go public with this. I'm gonna talk to Hearst... ...but we gotta get some senators on our side. - What do you want me to do? - What Trippe does. Offshore operations. See who's up for re-election... ...let's start making donations. - Bribe senators? I don't want them bribed. I want it done legally. I want them bought. Put a team of investigators on Brewster.
