MovieReal: The Aviator Page #3

The cumulonimbus formations

about which you speak...

...that look like...

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 to...

To wait.

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.

Thank you.

I've 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.

I got a call from Houston.

They're getting nervous.

Stop showing them the damn bills.

That would be illegal.

Sh*t, no.

Maybe it's a little bit naughty.

Hughes Tool is incorporated in Texas.

They have to see the bills.

Incorporate a new division out here.

We'll call it Hughes Aircraft.

- 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.

- Wind resistance on rivets?

- I want her slippery.

There are tax consequences

to incorporating in California.

- Just take care of it, would you?

- 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, don't get all jittery now.

Oakland!

Oakland!

We're going to Oakland!

Oakland.

Down and to the left!

That's perfect!

That's right, Senator George.

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.

If every human being

in America buys a ticket...

... he might even make a profit.

First, clouds don't come.

Then planes break down.

Then the planes crash.

We've had everything but

a plague of locusts on this thing.

I mean, you have to admit.

Now, honestly, did you ever think

you'd actually finish the damn thing?

Come with me.

Mama, darling,

if I'm a success in this show...

- ... we're gonna move from here.

- Oh, no.

Yes.

We're gonna move up in the Bronx.

Green grass,

a lot of people you know.

The Ginsbergs,

the Guttenbergs and the Goldbergs.

Oh, a whole lot of "bergs."

I don't know them all.

See, this is what the people want.

Silent pictures are yesterday's news.
