The Carpetbaggers Page #5

Synopsis: George Peppard plays a hard-driven industrialist more than a little reminiscent of Howard Hughes. While he builds airplanes, directs movies and breaks hearts, his friends and lovers try to reach his human side, and find that it's an uphill battle. The film's title is a metaphor for self-promoting tycoons who perform quick financial takeovers, impose dictatorial controls for short-term profits, then move on to greener pastures.

Are these the figures?

Yeah, got it all worked out.

I can net five grand a month

after expenses and amortization.

You got your money,

on two conditions.

I get 50/ of the stock

in your company

and a chattel mortgage

on your planes

amortized

over a 12-month period,

both payable to Cord Chemicals.

Partner...

you now own

a brand-new business.

Mr. Moroni, would

you be kind enough

to arrange the

details for me?

Certainly, Mr. Cord.

Make the loan for 50,000.

Wait a minute.

I only asked for 30.

Yes, but I just

learned something

about good banking.

An honest man always needs more

than he asks for.

Good luck, Buzz.

Let's go, Mac.

Hey, what do we call

the company?

International Airways.

International?

We're only going

from L.A. to Frisco.

This year.

Next year, who knows?

Watching you pack gives me

travel fever.

Take something for it.

I'm going to.

A powder, tonight.

No need to.

Its your house now.

He left it to you.

I'm selling it.

You are?

Mm-hmm. To you.

For $100,000.

It only cost 55.

Along with it goes my stock

in Cord Chemicals.

The stock isn't

worth the difference.

Under the laws

of the State of Nevada

I'm entitled to one-third

of your father's estate

will or no will.

Facts of life, Jonas.

I could tie you up in court

for five years.

I can wait. Can you?

No.

Well, let's make it easy

on you, then.

I'll take 50,000 now

and your note

endorsed by the company

for 10,000 a year

for the next five years.

How do you like

my widow's weeds?

lf you'd worn those

to the funeral

you wouldn't be a widow.

He'd have climbed right

out of the coffin.

The first installment.

Jonas...

You'll get my note

for the balance

tomorrow morning.

No, it's not that.

I'm sorry for what happened

the other day.

Neither of us meant

what we said.

I did.

Jonas, what can I do?

You can live well on $100,000.

Then at least do me one favor.

The way you feel,

it should be easy.

Uh-uh.

The way I feel

doesn't include favors.

Well, then give

yourself a present.

Get your revenge over with.

Do it now.

Mistreat me,

make love to me, anything,

only get it over with.

No, thank you.

Jonas, please,

it has to be done.

Anything, everything,

then throw me out.

That's what you enjoy,

the only thing

you really want, isn't it?

You don't know any more

about love than I do.

You want sensation--

the uglier, the better.

The more it hurts,

the nicer it is.

The more improper,

the more exciting.

I just want

to get this over with

so that you can have

your satisfaction

and I can pay my debts.

Who knows?

You might find out

you like me

more then you realize.

I do like you, Rina.

I like you a lot.
