Tasty Mystery Baskets of Clips

Kate, this is Johnny Meyer. I suppose you could call him my press agent.
The Air Force canceled the contract on The Hercules.
Oh, a whole lot of "bergs." I don't know them all.
Contact!
It's such a burden doing it all on your own, let me tell you.
You're in the germ-free zone now. You understand?
Wipe off your lipstick.
You bet. So when do we go to Houston?
I'm coming in.
Howard, I...
- Set course for 0-9-0... - Ten more minutes. Roger that.
Hell, TWA can't afford that. The damn airline's flat broke.
If that ass thinks he owns the world, he's got another thing coming.
- Well, I look all right. - You look great.
- Penney's. - Better make it Sears.
- You just relax a little. - Okay.
We gotta go public with this.
TWA stock.
Hello, Mr. Mayer.
Son of a bitch won't part with a single goddamn camera.
Repeated from the beginning.
Since When Do You Care About the Scandal Rags
Real flesh and blood. Human beings right out there in front of you, buster.
Hunt the flesh, kill the flesh, eat the flesh. That's the male sex all over.
...what I do.
You call Noah Dietrich.
- No. - Are you recording this conversation?
- Thirty-five. - Forty.
Senator Brewster, if you hadn't gone too far overboard...
If it would be convenient, Miss Hepburn.
... the entire process must be repeated...
None of that, now. None of that.
My hero. God, all that Hollywood talk bores me silly.
- Oh, my God! - Goddamn it!
You've just placed the largest order for airplanes in the history of the damn planet.
...really means.
- Howard, please. - Go away.
... has flown this afternoon in Los Angeles Harbor.
You're not extending enough on your follow-through.
All right, let's get down to business. Let's talk turkey.
I wanna get this done right.
Hold on.
Just for now. I'll see you soon.
To hell with Mexico. No airline should have a monopoly on flying the Atlantic.
Don't you find?
- I'll get back to you. Bye. - How could $18 million slip your mind?
The way of the future. The way of the future.
That's the lowest it's been, huh?
Oh, she was fine. She was just fine.
Well...
I need two new suits off the rack. One light and one dark.
If you know what I mean.
You are not safe.
It's the most expensive movie ever made. Nothing five-and-dime for our Mr. Hughes.
...of $56 million while at war, when we could least afford it.
...to keep those planes on the ground. You find me some goddamn clouds, huh?
Jack, we wanna fly above the weather.
- Who's that with the camera right there? - That's my ex-husband, Ludlow.
...in the last three months?
Look at the automobiles!
... bringing new laurels to American aviation.
- Get into it right now. - You got it.
Oh, this is useless. Come to the bathroom.
But you gotta ask, was anything this big ever supposed to fly?
Oh, Christ, Howard, on the telephone?
...but, well, I've had just about enough of this nonsense. Good afternoon.
I came to thank you.
Retracting landing gear and climbing to 5000 feet on a heading 2-7-0.
Howard Hughes must have a lump in his throat.
Howard! Howard!
- Too hot! - Don't be a baby.
Hold on to the wheel for a bit.
Oh, he's not going to like that
What I mean is, you have no domestic routes. All right?
Howard, we're...
Until they finish investigating the Reading crash. Could be months.
Now, Senator Brewster, you can subpoena me...
Yeah.
Some.
Now, I put the sweat of my life into this. I got my reputation all rolled up in it.
Is it true you accept free Pan Am tickets to circle the globe...
The $170,000 paid out to the Air Force in the form of hotel suites...
- I think we've had enough about airplanes. - And dogs.
You'd do it for me.
- No. - Oh, I adore the theater.
I know a little. I can work something to show you. Basic turbine stuff.
- Pleasure. - What are you doing here?
I mean, who says we need anything?
I don't know if you remember me. My name's Howard Hughes.
You're my voice now. Make them understand that.
Are you recording this conversation?zzz
I'm not gonna sell, and you know I'm not gonna sell.
No, no, Penney's. Penney's.
Well, we look forward to her then.
Oh, and thank you.
It is tomorrow.
It has been the great joy of my life. That's why I put my own money into these planes.
Show me all the blueprints.
New York...
Absotively, boss.
- Next year maybe. DC-4? - Next year.
No, no, honey, I would never do that. I'd never do that.
- Just take care of it, would you? - Mr. Hughes!
I have something for you.
Fifteen.
- Make it Woolworth's. - Woolworth's.
Yeah.
Yeah. Making a Western. I'm gonna call it The Outlaw.
- How heavy you imagine this thing is? - Say around 200 tons.
Miss. The usual, Mr. Hughes?
That's right, Senator George.
- So you feel like going to Paris? - Now?
Don't be so squirmy. You're gonna get on famously with Father and Mother.
That's just beautiful.
Fire him. And make sure they use damp brooms from now on.
You wanna be bankrupted by the big plane or by the big airline?
- And that's not the question. - Is it not true that Juan donated $20,000...
For chrissakes, we can't make The Hercules if we don't have any aluminum.
I don't wanna get into this if your board doesn't have the balls for it.
Flush rivets. Got that?
Kate, they can't get in here. We're safe.
We gotta bring her home.
THE CORNERS OF THR HIVE SHOULD BE FORMED AT A 90 DEGREE ANGLE
I'd love to see The Hercules in the air.
- Cameras. - Oh, with the actual cam...
- Please, Mr. Hughes. - Right here. Right here, Mr. Hughes.
- Yes, Mexican. - What was that called?
... has moved up to 25. Thirty.
And I'm sure they'll like you too. Once they get to know you.
No. Other side.
I can't do that, Owen. The C.A.B. would kill TWA.
...I got a hell of a cold in here. A hell of a cold.
I have been called a playboy. I've even been called an eccentric...
... it will never be seen again.
Sixty hours out of New York, he heads for Alaska, most hazardous hop of all.
- Kate! Katie! - Upstairs, city mouse.
Would you give me that job?
Juan Trippe is a patriot. Juan Trippe is not a man who is interested in making money.
- Lots of shopping in Paris. - I'll buy you anything.
