something. Anyway, goya's vastly overrated. All the Spaniards are. Nonsense! Picasso is sacred. I'm a urologist. Mother: It was quite aesthetic, really. A sacred monster, that's what Picasso is. The birds didn't care for it much, but the bats do. I'll bet. Oh, that's such bunk! Do speak up, dear. Nothing, nothing. Mrs. Hepburn, nothing. Then why did you speak? I can't abide people who speak but have nothing to say. Luddie: Did you go to mechanic school to learn all this... You know, airplane guff? No, no, I didn't, Luddie. No. Well, Howard just flew around the world in three days. I think we've had enough about airplanes. Father: And dogs, apparently. Then how'd you make all that money? We don't care about money here, Mr. Hughes. Well, that's 'cause you have it. [chuckles] [silverware clatters] Would you repeat that? You don't care about money because you've always had it. How did you make all that--? Excuse me, I'm speaking. Okay. Howard: Thank you. All right. Some of us choose to, uh, work for a living. Speaking of which, I have more of that, uh... Airplane guff... To attend to. Excuse me. Luddie: Well, seems a rather high-strung chap. You're a fine bunch of bullies, aren't you? Have you talked to Mr. Mayer about letting you do Jane Eyre? Oh, the old philistine won't budge. Too arty, don't you know. Daddy, I'm convinced the man hasn't read anything longer than A Sunday Katzenjammer Kids in his life. No fair, kicking. You have to use the mallet. Really, though, darling, You can't retire from the field of battle like that Or they'll never respect you. Katie, I don't understand. You're like a different person in there. Oh...They just expect me to be a certain way. There's only one real Kate, and that's your Kate. [telegraph beeping] Newscaster: And over in Hollywood, aviation tycoon Howard Hughes Seems to be cooking up something big. Even as he edits his newest motion picture, He's been secretly meeting with the US Air Corps. We applaud his patriotism And look forward to his newest mechanical marvel. Do you know how many allied ships we lost this year Because of u-boat attacks? No. Six hundred and eighty-one ships Just this year so far. Now, the army needs a new airplane To fly the troops over to Europe. These ships, they're-- they're sitting ducks. They're sitting ducks for the u-boats. You wanna build a troop-carrier plane? Stop thinking like an insect, Odie. Not just a plane to carry the troops, A plane to carry everything. The troops and the jeeps and the tanks and whatnot. Here, take a look. No. Other side. Phew. I figure around 200 feet from nose to tail. Wingspan, around 300. We're gonna need about 24,000 horsepower. [laughs] Now, this is just what Kaiser and the army are looking for. And don't worry, they're gonna pay for it this time. Christ. What are you getting us into? Well, it's a big plane, so I'm callin' it the Hercules. Swell name, isn't it? How heavy you imagine this thing is? Say around 200 tons. Well, I didn't say it was gonna be easy. All right, boys, I want you to rig up Something like this. Should give the proper uplift ratios While reducing the need For additional torque support on the front. We are not getting enough production Out of Jane Russell's breasts. All right? I want smooth titties, gentlemen. Smooth titties. It's all in engineering, isn't it, Odie? Howard... Do you really think they're gonna let you Put out a whole movie just about tits? Sure. Who doesn't like tits? Good afternoon, gentlemen. Sorry I'm late. Will the secretary please record that Mr. Hughes has arrived And that this session is now called to order.
