Mexico
And maybe on down
to south America.
Hey, that's a good idea.
Anyone got a pen?
Or across the Atlantic.
Now, honey, you've had enough
of this ice cream.
You gimme that spoon.
You don't wanna
get your gloves all sticky.
Isn't that too far?
New York...
To Newfoundland...
To Ireland.
To Paris.
Well...
Pan am welcomes you.
We're overbooked
as it is.
It's such a burden
doing it all on your own,
[laughing]
let me tell you.
It's miss...?
Domergue.
Domergue.
Yes, of course.
Was that a rumba or a samba
you were doing out there?
[giggles]
it was a samba.
A samba, yes.
Howard, I never knew
you were such a good dancer.
Helen, Jack.
Good going, boss.
You just gave away
our entire postwar strategy.
Ah, he can't stop us.
He's pan am, Howard.
He can stop anything!
Waiter, give me
the largest scotch you got.
I don't know what in the hell
you're so goddamn giddy about.
Excuse me.
[breathing heavily]
[gasps]
Woman [in distance]:
%% I'll be seeing you %%
%% in all the old
familiar places %%
%% that this heart of mine
embraces %%
%% all day through %%
%% in that small cafй %%
%% the park %%
%% across the way %%
%% the children's carousel... %%
Jack.
I want you to get in touch
with Mr. Joyce and Mr. Berg.
Those are my boys
in Washington.
Set up a meeting
with Jesse Jones.
He's the secretary of commerce,
old golfing buddy.
Whoa, slow down.
We're gonna need terminals
in both Ireland and France.
And I wanna get
some tax breaks from them.
If that shit-ass thinks that he
owns the entire goddamn world,
He's got
another thing coming.
Pan am owns Europe.
He's smart.
We ought to
think about Mexico!
Oh, to hell with Mexico, Jack!
No one airline should have a
monopoly on flying the Atlantic.
For chrissakes,
it just isn't fair.
Look, he owns pan am,
he owns congress,
He owns
the civil aeronautics board,
But he does not
own the Sky.
We're in a street fight
with that son of a bitch,
And I am not gonna lose.
I've been fightin' high-hat
Ivy league pricks like him
My whole goddamn life.
And listen, fire Ray Loewy.
You goddamn heard me?
Fire Ray Loewy.
He's spying for Trippe.
That shitheel knew all about
the goddamn buttons.
Spies in my midst, Jack.
[clears throat]
Spies in my midst.
%% I'll be looking at the Moon %%
%% but I'll be seeing you %%
Hello, Howard.
Roland.
So...
What can I do
for you?
Howard:
I want all the pictures
you have
Of Kate Hepburn
and Spencer Tracy.
All the negatives.
And I want you
To kill the story.
Howard, he's a married man.
He's a catholic.
They're both movie stars.
Fair game all around.
My office knows
where I am, Howard.
I'm not gonna kill you, Roland.
[snickers]
I don't do that.
How much?
Not for sale.
How much?
Not...For sale.
[sighs]
You ever cheat
on your wife, Roland?
Hmm?
You ever screw a colored girl?
You ever steal anything?
You ever hurt anyone?
Good night, Howard.
You ever go to a communist party
meeting, Roland?
TWA stock.
How much?
Fifty thousand shares.
Ten.
All right.
Man:
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 all lined up
on his side now.
I'm telling you, TWA is serious
about going international.
Okay.
Point, Mr. Hughes.
Very well.
You know what I think?
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?
You know, I-- 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. Look.
Now he's vice president.
Look what he did with it.
