load is quite an engineering problem. But you gotta ask, was anything this big ever supposed to fly? There goes one wing section, 160 feet long with four engine housings. Double that and you've got some idea of the wingspread. An airplane that challenges a mountain for sheer size. How long can they keep us grounded? Until they finish investigating the reading crash. Could be months. Jesus. You're already running a $14 million deficit. How you gonna afford to keep them out of service? We go international, we'll make it up. Look, Brewster's C.A.B. bill just isn't going away. That Bill passes, and you bought All these goddamn planes for nothing. We're fighting the C.A.B. bill. Meanwhile how do you suggest we keep TWA flying? Don't say "just go to tool co" this time. As it is, we're pumping every damn cent into the Hercules, Which, I might add, the air force doesn't even want anymore. Now, look, Howard, I'm glad Jack here Is feeling so sunny about things, but I've seen the books. I'm telling it to you straight. I'm not just crying wolf this time. We're in serious trouble. You've gotta make a choice. You wanna be bankrupted by the big plane... Or by the big airline? [clears throat] Go see Thomas Parkinson at the equitable in New York. Get a loan against all the TWA equipment and capital. Use the planes as collateral. Hell, use the desks, use the pens, Use everything we got. Try to get me 40 million. And if TWA defaults on the loan? Then Juan Trippe buys us cheap. Under my bed! You put a goddamn microphone under my bed! Listen to me. I am concerned about you, baby. I just wanna make sure you're okay, that's all. And who is in that car? That goddamn car's been with me 24 hours a day. That car is there for your protection! The only one I need protection from is you, you sick bastard! You don't own me, Howard. I'm not one of your teenage whores, And I'm not some damn airplane. Look, honey, I-I'll have them take all the bugs out. You have to understand I need to know where you are. Why? Because I worry about you, that's why! Bullshit! What do you mean, "all the bugs"? [clears throat] What do you mean, "all the bugs"? There's more. How many? I don't know, 12. Twelve, maybe, and... And on the telephones. Oh, Christ, Howard, on the telephone? You listen to my phone calls? No, no, no, honey. I would never do that. I'd never do that. I-- I just read the transcripts, that's all. What do you wanna know, Howard? Was I screwing Artie Shaw last night? Was I screwing Sinatra the night before? You bet! Everyone told me you're a goddamn lunatic, But I didn't listen. It's no wonder Kate Hepburn dumped your demented ass! Shut your goddamn mouth! Get out, you pathetic freak. [panting] Get out! Is everything all right, sir? Take out all the bugs, huh? Except for the one on the bedroom phone. Sir, the FBI are at the house. Noah: This is outrageous! Everything in these offices Is the private property of Hughes productions. My legal counsel is on the way-- Federal warrant. Don't interfere with the search, sir. Newscaster: Dateline: Los Angeles. Howard Hughes has a new houseguest. No, it's not another beautiful starlet. This time it's the FBI. Howard: Noah, you have got to help, all right? This is the 10th goddamn time they have been here. Newscaster: Rumor has it that Federal agents working for senator Ralph Owen Brewster Have practically taken up residence In the aviation mogul's Hollywood home. Look, I mean, they are touching things. Noah, Noah, they are touching things. Noah: Just keep yourself calm, And I'll be down there as soon as I can, Howard. Howard? ------------------------------ Читайте также: - текст Строгий юноша на английском - текст Преданный садовник на английском - текст Дневник камикадзе на английском - текст Семёрка Блейка на английском - текст 300 Спартанцев на английском |
