be seen before,
And l can certainly say,
it would never be seen again.
500, 000 people are crowding the street
to get a glimpse of the stars.
The marines are called to
assist 250 special police who are--
Big night for you tonight.
Very big. Very big.
Yes.
So, from your own pocket.
Big night, enjoy the show.
Let me present the star of
Hell's Angels, Miss Jean Harlow.
Thank you. l would like to use this
occasion to publicly thanked
Mr Hughes for the opportunity
he give me.
What the hell is the matter?
Can't you remember my name?
l read the magazines
that you play golf.
On occasion.
Now, Mr Hughes?
You're not extending enough,
you will follow through.
Folllow through is everything
in golf, just like life.
Movies are movies, Howard, not life.
Now, the stage. A stage is real,
real flesh and blood,
Human beings,
wide up there in front of you.
Not much pop corn, that'll be rude.
- Do you like the theatre?
- No.
l'll take you. We see some
You're not a Republican, are you?
You must. lt's your secret franchise.
What about that?
She is just a friend.
Men can't be friends
with women, Howard.
They must possessed them
or leave them be.
Kill the flesh, eat the flesh,
Excuse me.
lf you dare, you must own up to it.
But it's all tied up inside the body,
don't you find?
l take 7 showers a day to keep clean.
Well, l'm not outdoor. l'm athletic.
l sweat.
There it is.
l sweat and you're dead.
Fine pair of misfits.
Noble effort.
Not enough.
Not enough.
This has to be completely flushed.
l want every screw and joint
l want no resistance
She has gotta be clean.
The thing is TWA is a new plane.
Think about it, Jack.
What does 20,000 feet give you?
- Less turbulance.
- lt's about the weather.
Jack, we want to fly
above the weather.
Only 1% of the American
population have ever
Set foot on the
commercial airline, why?
Because they're scare to death, Jack,
and they should be.
7, 000 feet is bumpy, you know that.
We build the plane
above the weather.
We can get every men, women and child
ln this country to feel safe up there.
An airplane with the ability to fly
Across the country, across the world.
That's the future.
- You with me?
- Yeah.
Shoot straight with me now
'coz l don't want to get into
All this if you don't have
the balls for it.
- Will they support us?
- l don't know. They're bastards.
- Deficits?
- $770,000
- What they're selling at?
- About $8 a share.
- l can do that.
- Do what?
- Buy it.
- You want to buy the airline?
For crying out loud, Jack.
You don't want a bunch of pushers
Getting in our way of us
making our plane, do we?
Call Noah Dietrich.
Howard, hold on. Are you sure?
You want to think about it
for 5 minutes?
No, Jack.
l got the tiger by the tail here.
- The usual, Mr Hughes?
- Please.
And may l recommend for the lady
our soup followed by roast wild duck
Your kind ofjoint
They open until about 4:00.
Are they?
You should use Lux on
your hand by the way.
l'm box-office poison.
Are you making a Western, Howard?
Yeah, making the western,
gonna call the outlaw.
You know it's about. Sex.
lt's all about sex.
Not real sex, it's movie sex.
You're the only movie star l know,
can't afford his own god damn cigaratte
Though l fear the mother
would insist on coming along,
To preserve the question of virtue.
What do you say, Howard?
l gotta go.
lf you excuse us,
we have to be somewhere.
You're somewhere. You're mad man.
Somewhere else. Excuse us.
Do help yourself to the porsh pears.
l heard they're divine.
My hero.
Where are we going by the way?
Do you feel like a little adventure?
That is Mr Mayor's house right there.
You know where Jack Walter live?
What's that on the stereng wheel?
You got any idea the crap
people carry around on their hands.
What kind of crap?
You don't want to know.
Feel the vibration at the
end of your fingertips.
- Where are you going?
- l think there's some milk back here
