for me one time? Just once?

Yeah. Yeah. You see,

you got a short upper lip.

Makes for a much nicer smile.

See, I wonder what gives

a beautiful woman like you pleasure.

I mean, say you're just standing

there, right? And I just touch you.

Just... Just like this.

With my fingertips.

Do you...?

Do you like that?

Do you?

You see, I wanna learn

what pleases you.

I wanna learn everything about you.

Would you let me do that?

Would you give me that job?

I'm off in a half an hour.

- Well, I'm in room...

- 217.

See you there.

Johnny, get on the horn

to Universal and Warners.

I need two more cameras

by Saturday.

Rent them if you can.

Steal them if you have to.

Absotively, boss.

Absotively.

Rumors coming from a lonely airstrip

out in Van Nuys.

Sources whisper that young

Texas industrialist Howard Hughes...

... won't stop pouring money

into his war epic.

And do we mean epic!

One hundred and thirty-seven pilots,

87 airplanes...

... 35 cameramen, 2000 extras.

How long will it be before this picture...

... ends up costing as

much as the real war?

Damn it.

Why the hell do they look so slow?

This isn't what it was like up there.

They look like goddamn models!

Son of a b*tch.

Howard?

Without something standing

still behind the planes...

...we've got no idea

of how fast we're moving.

We got no sense of relative motion.

Call UCLA.

Get me the best meteorologist they got.

You get him here in an hour, all right?

Hey. You want the good news

or the bad news?

- Bad news, always.

- All right.

We installed the 450 radial.

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 figure something else out.

We've done everything.

We've rebuilt her from top to toe.

If we drain the fuel tank...

...she might make 180 miles per hour.

- I want minimum 200, all right?

I want a date with Theda Bara.

That ain't gonna happen.

Oh, don't be so sure.

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 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 struts.

- A 550 Wasp engine.

- One-hundred-octane fuel.

- That would give us a horsepower of what?

- Seven hundred.

We squeeze that to a thousand,

we got the fastest plane ever built.

You know, I've gotta say...

...we've already spent over $200,000

rebuilding this plane.

To hell with it.

Tear it up, Odie.

Go on.

Well...
