What was really bothering you, Kat?
ls it the women or the publicity?
Go and eat your ice-cream from a bowl
like everyone else in the world.
Don't you dare.
This is not a good time.
For Christ sake, we can't make the
Hercules if we don't have the aluminium.
l can hear you better now.
You tell the production board
That this is an essential operation.
Don't set the ice-cream.
ln the meantime,
we gotta think of something else.
We can't get the aluminium,
we just have to find another way.
l don't know, you tell me, we'll find
some alloys that work as well.
You can't make a 200 tonnes
plane out of wood.
Why the hell not?
The damn thing is a flying boat, right
Good luck today.
From my farm.
Trouble with Mr Hughes?
There's too much Howard Hughes
and Howard Hughes.
That's the trouble.
We got something to show you.
Take a look.
l designed every inch of it myself.
lt got a top speed of 450. lt can outrun
anything that is thrown against her.
What do you got for me?
You're looking at the
top speed of 340.
Bobby got some other suit.
Right there.
You miss it, right there.
Clean it off, would you?
Throw it away.
Over there.
What you call it?
The Constellation but
we can change that.
lt's pretty. l like it.
So, what kind of deal can you give me?
What kind of deal can you give me?
We give you the first 40 planes
off the assembly line.
America did not have an imagination
for a plane like this.
- How much?
- $450, 000 each.
Thats $ 18 million for the first four.
TWA can't afford that.
The damn airline is flat broke.
Guess l just have to pay for myself.
Merry Christmas.
You've just placed the
largest order for airplane
ln the history of the damn planet,
Howard.
Larkee just sent us a bill
for $ 18 million dollars.
This is a lot of money
for some plane, Howard.
Yes, yes, l know it is a lot of money.
lt's too damn much.
You think l just got $ 18 million cash?
l should have told you earlier.
lt slips my mind.
Slip your mind. Oh for God's sake.
What are you doing home?
You're not one for tears and well,
neither am l.
So, it's best to come out with it.
l met someone l've fallen in love
and l moving out.
lf l could make it anymore gentle,
l would.
But l can't.
There we both are.
Let's be honest.
We're too alike, you and l.
You met someone?
Someone more appropriate to me,
l mean.
What is that mean, more appropriate?
Someone more attuned to my needs.
Look at me, Kat.
Stop acting.
l am not acting.
l wonder if l know you anymore.
Don't be unkind.
You want to go?
Go on.
Actresses are cheap in this town.
l got a lot of money.
This is exactly me.
You come in here out of the blue and
tell me you leave me just like that
And you've the nerve to
expect graciousness?
l expect a little maturity. l expect you
to face this situation like an adult.
Don't talk down to me.
Don't you ever talk down to me.
You're a movie star, nothing more.
Hey, Noah.
l need you to get over
and borrow some new clothes.
First thing tomorrow, all right.
l need 2 new suits off the rack,
One light, one dark, 3 white shirts,
you got that?
l get in as soon as l can, Howard.
Are you recording this conversation?
l need those suits first thing
tomorrow, all right?
Stop there if you please.
Have you had surgery?
No.
- Do you have scars of any kind?
- No.
Wipe out the lipstick.
You understand you'll be
under contract to me.
Personally.
Turn around
Yes.
Tell me something.
How old are you?
l'm getting my High School diploma.
Howard thinks education is important.
And then after classes,
l offered tuition.
- How are you, Howard?
- Good, thanks.
What the hell are you doing out here?
l'm out here to be with
Douglas at D.C by 4:00.
How's the Constellation coming?
Good, great.
So, how about letting me steal a peek?
l don't think so.
You know l should be cross with you.
You stole Ray Louie from us.
- So, buttons or zippers?
- l am sorry.
Buttons or zippers?
