right. We installed the 450 radial. But the struts won't take the vibration. Minute we fire her up, The struts start cracking at the attach points. Well, what's the good news? There isn't any. Goddamn it, Odie. If the 450's too big, We just gotta figure something else out. We've done everything. We've rebuilt her from top to toe. Now, if we drain the fuel tank for a couple runs, She might make 180 Miles per hour. I want minimum 200, all right? Well, I want a date with Theda Bara, But that ain't gonna happen. Ah, don't be so sure. So... If the struts won't sustain the engine we need, We gotta get rid of the struts. No, then the top wing falls off. Then let it. What? Who--? Who says we need a top wing? I mean, who says we need anything? A monoplane. A cantilevered monoplane, right? They're doing it in France. To hell with the top wing and the struts. Put in a 550 wasp engine. One-hundred-octane fuel. That would give us a top horsepower of what? Seven hundred. We squeeze that to 1000, We've got the fastest plane ever built. [both laugh] Ohhh. You know, I've just gotta say We've already spent over $200,000 rebuilding this plane. Yeah. To hell with it. Tear it up, Odie. Go on. Well. The, uh... Cumulonimbus formations about which you speak... That look like, uh... Giant breasts full of milk. I want clouds, damn it. Yes, clouds... That look like giant breasts full of milk... Cannot exactly be guaranteed for any particular occasion. So you might have t-to... To wait. Well, then we'll wait. Look, whatever they pay you at UCLA, I'm doubling it, all right? You work for me now. Find some clouds. Find some clouds. Find me some clouds! Welcome to hell's angels. [the original Memphis Five's "fireworks" playing] Thank you. Howard: I've now been to Chatsworth, Santa Cruz, Encino, San Diego, Riverside, Van Nuys and Bakersfield. It has been eight months! Where are my goddamn clouds, huh? They move, Mr. Hughes! Clouds move! That's what they do. They move! You see that? It is costing me $5271 a day To keep those planes on the ground. You find me some goddamn clouds, huh? Nice day. Yeah, very funny. Listen, I got a call from Houston. They're getting real nervous about all of this. Stop showin' them the damn bills, Noah. That would be illegal, Howard. Shit, no. Maybe it's a little bit naughty. Aw. Hughes tool is incorporated in Texas. They have to see the bills. Incorporate a new division out here. All right? We'll call it Hughes aircraft. Odie. Do we need these rivets on the cowling? Yeah, or the reverse thrust would rip it off. They're gonna give me drag. Do something about that, okay? Wind resistance on the rivets? Yeah, I want her slippery. Howard, there are serious tax consequences To incorporating in California. Just take care of it, would you? Mr. Hughes! Mr. Hughes! Oakland! We have clouds in Oakland! You mean it this time? Yes! Goddamn it, yes. I can promise you. Clouds in Oakland. All right, all right. Don't get all jittery now. Oakland! Oakland! We're going to Oakland! Oakland... [the original Memphis Five’s "Fireworks" resumes playing] Down and to the left! That was perfect! Man: That's right, senator George. I'm going to say it to you right now... Newscaster: Yes, young Howard Hughes has pulled it off! After two years, hell's angels has finally finished filming. There's gonna be One heck of a wrap party in Hollywood tonight. The price tag? A staggering $2 million. So if every human being in America buys a ticket, Heck, he might even make a profit. [laughing] [playing "yellow dog blues"] First, the clouds don't come. Then planes break down. Then the planes crash.
