You see, you've gotta feel
the vibration of the engine
Through your fingertips.
Do you feel that?
Yes.
Yeah.
Well, that's good.
Golly...
Well, she's all yours.
Where are you going?!
I think there's some, uh--
some milk back here.
Just keep us steady, now.
All right.
Howard?
Yeah?
There's a rather alarming
mountain heading our way.
Pull back on the wheel
a smidge. Go on.
Golly!
[both laugh]
You know, I don't think
I've ever met someone
Who actually uses
the word "golly."
You all right?
Want me to take over?
Just when I'm getting
the hang of it?
You, uh--
you want some milk?
Oh, please.
Utterly smashing!
We'll do it again.
I'm free Wednesday.
Little early for golf, though,
don't you think?
Oh, no, no.
I live right there.
Oh.
Feel like a drink?
Lead on.
Now, that makes for
a challenging par four.
My decorator picked out
the wallpaper and such.
He's queer as a bedbug.
But I just hate this room.
Gives me the willies.
Ugh.
Like I'm about to be
swallowed up
By the latest issue
of town & country.
[Django Reinhardt's "I can't
give you anything but love"
playing]
[softly]
what room do you like?
My study.
Take me there.
You are
the tallest woman I know.
[moans]
And all sharp elbows
and knees. Beware.
Will you fly me
to work tomorrow?
%% I can't give you
anything... %%
It is tomorrow.
%% oh, baby, oh %%
%% that's the only thing %%
%% I've plenty of %%
%% oh, baby %%
%% dream a while %%
%% scheme a while %%
%% we're sure to find, baby %%
%% happiness %%
%% and I guess %%
[scatting]
%% gee, I'd like to see you %%
%% looking swell, baby %%
%% Diamond bracelets %%
%% Woolworths doesn't sell %%
%% my pretty baby %%
%% till that lucky day %%
%% oh, that lucky day %%
%% you know darn well,
oh, babe... %%
Keep your eye
on the fuel gauge.
She's got a minimum of fuel
to keep her weight down.
Two runs. That's it. After that,
you're flying on vapors.
And then you crash,
and then you die.
Right.
Just give her easy flying.
Don't worry about speed,
And don't think about
the record today.
I wish to God you'd let
someone else take her up.
You got 20 damn test pilots
working for you.
Hell, why should I let
someone else have all the fun?
See you in a bit.
Howard:
Contact!
[engine whirring]
[%%]
[crowd exclaims]
Whoo!
Man:
Three thirty-nine.
Goddamn!
Three forty-seven.
Whoo! Son of a bitch.
Three
fifty-two.
Three fifty-two!
[crowd cheers]
Good girl.
[engine sputters]
[whirring stops]
Damn it.
Goddamn it.
Oh, God!
There goes
our meal ticket.
Odie:
Come on!
[sirens wailing]
Odie:
Howard!
Howard!
How did we do?
Three fifty-two
on the last run.
[laughs]
She'll go faster.
Country mouse!
Kate! Katie!
Kate:
Upstairs, city mouse.
Hello.
Good Lord!
What happened to you?
Oh, nothing. A hard landing.
I cut my foot.
Sit down. I'll take care of it.
You tell me everything.
You cannot imagine
what it was like, Katie.
You-- you cannot imagine
the speed.
She was like
a winged bullet up there.
What did she make?
Oh, around, uh...
352.
You did it.
Fastest man on the planet.
Hot dog! I'm so proud of you.
She did it, baby.
Oh, you knew
she would.
Oh, she was fine.
She was just fine.
[sighs]
Now let me see your foot.
Yeah.
Good God!
You're covered in blood.
Oh, no. That's just beet juice.
I crashed into a beet field.
What?
Yeah, I crashed
in a beet field.
[both laughing]
Let me get you cleaned up.
Heavens, what is this?
Electrical tape?
Yeah. Odie just sort of
slammed it on there.
[gently]
but all I could
think about was...
Gettin' home to see you.
I am so proud of you.
Now, this is gonna sting
a little bit.
Ow!
Oh, this is useless.
Come to the bathroom.
Don't get beet juice
on the carpet.
Yeah. I won't, I
