have hardly been

in the interest of science.

- However.

John, how wonderful.

I'm going too.

You're what;

You there, Professor.

And you too.

My name is jennifer Holmes, and I can ride,

fly and shoot better than any man I know.

- I want to go too.

- There will be no women on my expedition.

- But, Professor.

- That's final.!

- Hmph!

- May I hear from other volunteers;

- It's a man's world.

- Then why don't you volunteer;

May I hear from other volunteers;

What about it, Malone;

The climate's very good for colds.

You know, the professor owes me something

for that hit on the head.

- Good for you, Malone.

- You, sir.

Your name, please,

and your qualifications.

My name is Edward Malone.

I'm with Global News.

A fine collection of volunteers.

Women and reporters.

Didn't you have enough

at the airport, young man;

Must you continue

to invade my privacy;

I'll have no reporters on this trip!

- Not even for $1 00,000;

- Dad!

My name is Stuart Holmes.

I'm executive vice president

of Global News Service.

And I herewith authorize just such a contribution.

What about it, Professor;

Will $1 00,000 pay for

the passage of Edward Malone;

Very well put, my dear sir.

And since I was never a man

to resist logic... or cash...

I shall ignore my personal feelings and approve

Mr. Malone as a member of the expedition.

Summerlee;

An adventurer and a newspaperman.

Hardly a crew for

a scientific expedition.

Certainly not men of my choice.

But apparently, with public

appeal... and funds...

reluctantly I agree.

Then that settles it.

Now, may I suggest that this

public demonstration be adjourned;

Ladies and gentlemen, I thank you

for your indulgence. The meeting is adjourned.

- Well, that does it.

- For both of us, I guess.

Well, I'm afraid you'll both do only too well.

Oh, here comes Dad.

- Hello,johnny.

- Stuart.

-jenny.

- Hi, Daddy.

- Thank you, sir.

- Hello, Malone.

- Mr. Malone.

- My dear professor...

we of Global News

are perfectly delighted...

that one of our bright young men is going to

represent us on your epic-making expedition.

Delighted; I should

most certainly hope so.

Good evening.

Jnny, I'm sorry

they turned you down...

but delighted about Malone here.

And good for you,johnny. I'd appreciate it

if you'd look after my boy here.

I'd be glad to, Stuart.

But at the moment I'm looking after your girl.

- Excuse us.

- Good night.

What's wrong, Malone;
