- How do we know
- he's not in Los Angeles?
- 2
- 00:01:12,600 --> 00:01:14,079
- We were promised,
- 3
- 00:01:14,160 --> 00:01:16,469
- as you know, the call
- would come to us at 4:00.
- 4
- 00:01:16,560 --> 00:01:18,835
- It's now 10 minutes after 4:00.
- 5
- 00:01:25,240 --> 00:01:27,576
- We're waiting
- here, in Los Angeles, for a phone call
- 6
- 00:01:27,600 --> 00:01:29,670
- from legendary billionaire,
- Howard Hughes,
- 7
- 00:01:29,760 --> 00:01:31,079
- which could debunk...
- 8
- 00:01:32,680 --> 00:01:34,989
- We're waiting here,
- in Los Angeles, for a phone call
- 9
- 00:01:35,080 --> 00:01:36,911
- from legendary billionaire,
- Howard Hughes,
- 10
- 00:01:37,000 --> 00:01:39,719
- which could debunk a writer's
- claim that he's written
- 11
- 00:01:39,800 --> 00:01:41,711
- an authorized autobiography
- of Hughes,
- 12
- 00:01:41,800 --> 00:01:44,439
- and that Hughes is in
- a permanent state of dementia.
- 13
- 00:01:44,520 --> 00:01:46,272
- The location of Howard Hughes,
- 14
- 00:01:46,360 --> 00:01:48,430
- still a complete mystery to us.
- 15
- 00:01:48,520 --> 00:01:50,511
- And if he's unable to call,
- 16
- 00:01:50,600 --> 00:01:52,591
- as promised
- by the Hughes organization,
- 17
- 00:01:52,680 --> 00:01:54,910
- and prove that he is of sound mind,
- 18
- 00:01:55,000 --> 00:01:57,195
- well, the organization's
- defense contracts,
- 19
- 00:01:57,280 --> 00:01:58,759
- its medical foundation,
- 20
- 00:01:58,840 --> 00:02:01,991
- even its casino licenses
- could be in jeopardy.
- 21
- 00:02:02,080 --> 00:02:03,216
- If he doesn't call as promised,
- 22
- 00:02:03,240 --> 00:02:04,576
- it's gonna be hard for him
- to defend himself
- 23
- 00:02:04,600 --> 00:02:06,795
- against the charges in Miskin's book.
- 24
- 00:02:06,880 --> 00:02:08,757
- Yes, wherever he's hiding.
- 25
- 00:02:08,840 --> 00:02:09,976
- Yes, I'm told now
- that we can only wait
- 26
- 00:02:10,000 --> 00:02:11,956
- for Mr. Hughes' phone call until 4:30.
- 27
- 00:02:12,040 --> 00:02:13,496
- Very few private citizens
- 28
- 00:02:13,520 --> 00:02:14,873
- can be said to have developed
- 29
- 00:02:14,960 --> 00:02:17,679
- such an astounding amount
- of influence,
- 30
- 00:02:17,760 --> 00:02:19,512
- celebrity and achievement.
- 31
- 00:02:19,600 --> 00:02:22,194
- Always with
- an eye out for new talent,
- 32
- 00:02:22,280 --> 00:02:23,599
- Hughes developed a reputation
- 33
- 00:02:23,680 --> 00:02:26,672
- for employing dozens
- of young, aspiring actresses,
- 34
- 00:02:26,760 --> 00:02:28,637
- and keeping them under contract
- 35
- 00:02:28,720 --> 00:02:30,296
- ...for years at RKO,
- 36
- 00:02:30,320 --> 00:02:31,753
- regardless of whether or not
- 37
- 00:02:31,880 --> 00:02:32,936
- they ever appear
- in one of his pictures.
- 38
- 00:02:32,960 --> 00:02:33,995
- Hello?
- 39
- 00:02:34,080 --> 00:02:35,616
- Howard Hughes
- was once the American ideal.
- 40
- 00:02:35,640 --> 00:02:37,136
- A moviemaker, an aviator,
- an inventor...
- 41
- 00:02:37,160 --> 00:02:39,037
- Howard?
- 42
- 00:02:39,120 --> 00:02:41,336
- ...and an industrialist,
- who, at the age of 18,
- 43
- 00:02:41,360 --> 00:02:43,120
- inherited a fortune
- which gave him a monopoly
- 44
- 00:02:43,200 --> 00:02:45,031
- on the best device in the world
- 45
- 00:02:45,120 --> 00:02:46,240
- with which to drill for oil.
- 46
- 00:02:46,320 --> 00:02:47,536
- This is
- a man with relationships
- 47
- 00:02:47,560 --> 00:02:50,313
- with presidents,
- military leaders and people who are...
- 48
- 00:02:50,440 --> 00:02:52,795
- Howard, you've got 18 minutes
- left to place the call.
- 49
- 00:02:52,880 --> 00:02:55,136
- In 1930, he produced
- the most expensive movie ever made.
- 50
- 00:02:55,160 --> 00:02:56,256
- Well, Miskin's book says
- 51
- 00:02:56,280 --> 00:02:58,271
- that Howard Hughes
- cannot remember anything,
- 52
- 00:02:58,360 --> 00:03:00,040
- that he's completely
- unable to communicate.
- 53
- 00:03:00,120 --> 00:03:02,873
- Well, despite
- his countless plane crashes,
- 54
- 00:03:02,960 --> 00:03:04,473
- all of which he survived...
- 55
- 00:03:04,560 --> 00:03:06,073
- Howard, can you hear me?
- 56
- 00:03:06,160 --> 00:03:07,536
- His design set new speed
- records in his own racing aircraft,
- 57
- 00:03:07,560 --> 00:03:10,518
- and he essentially
- became an American hero.
- 58
- 00:03:10,600 --> 00:03:12,909
- Of course,
- he's an American hero.
- 59
- 00:03:13,000 --> 00:03:14,479
- But it's not as if
- 60
- 00:03:14,560 --> 00:03:16,118
- he's incapable of making a mistake.
- 61
- 00:03:16,200 --> 00:03:18,350
- He could be in the middle of making
- 62
- 00:03:18,440 --> 00:03:20,078
- a big mistake right now.
- 63
- 00:03:20,160 --> 00:03:22,310
- I think
- you're mistaken, Mr. Hughes.
- 64
- 00:03:22,400 --> 00:03:23,719
- I think you're mistaken.
- 65
- 00:03:23,800 --> 00:03:25,816
- I don't
- make mistakes, Colonel.
- 66
- 00:03:25,840 --> 00:03:28,115
- Okay,
- he doesn't make mistakes.
- 67
- 00:03:28,200 --> 00:03:30,216
- The Department of Defense
- has scheduled your flight...
- 68
- 00:03:30,240 --> 00:03:32,336
- The Department of Defense
- didn't invent this plane, Colonel.
- 69
- 00:03:32,360 --> 00:03:33,475
- I did. I paid for it,
- 70
- 00:03:33,560 --> 00:03:35,560
- and I'll land it when
- I'm goddamn ready to land it!
- 71
- 00:03:35,640 --> 00:03:37,596
- You are picking up
- the Apple Blossom Queen.
- 72
- 00:03:38,080 --> 00:03:39,274
- Her name is Marla Mabrey.
- 73
- 00:03:39,360 --> 00:03:40,509
- Go down there, get her,
- 74
- 00:03:40,600 --> 00:03:42,192
- and drive her straight to her house.
- 75
- 00:03:42,280 --> 00:03:44,056
- Remember, any driver
- who tries any hanky-panky
- 76
- 00:03:44,080 --> 00:03:46,116
- with a contract actress is gone.
- 77
- 00:03:46,200 --> 00:03:47,474
- He's fired.
- 78
- 00:03:51,040 --> 00:03:52,314
- Thank you.
- 79
- 00:03:52,400 --> 00:03:56,154
- Miss Mabrey, I'm Frank.
- Nice to meet you.
- 80
- 00:03:56,240 --> 00:03:59,118
- Congratulations on being
- the Apple Blossom Queen.
- 81
- 00:03:59,200 --> 00:04:01,430
- The car's just over there.
- I'll get the, uh...
- 82
- 00:04:01,520 --> 00:04:03,954
- I'm Lucey, Frank. I'm Marla's mother.
- 83
- 00:04:05,040 --> 00:04:06,268
- Oh.
- 84
- 00:04:07,760 --> 00:04:09,557
- - Uh...
- - This is Marla.
- 85
- 00:04:10,240 --> 00:04:11,992
- - Hi, I'm Frank.
- - Hi.
- 86
- 00:04:12,960 --> 00:04:14,029
- Uh, this way, please.
- 87
- 00:04:15,280 --> 00:04:16,395
- Oh...
- 88
- 00:04:17,680 --> 00:04:19,352
- - Sorry, sorry.
- - Okay. All right.
- 89
- 00:04:20,640 --> 00:04:21,675
- Thank you.
- 90
- 00:04:24,800 --> 00:04:25,835
- Let me get that for you.
- 91
- 00:04:25,920 --> 00:04:27,319
- - Thank you.
- - Of course.
- 92
- 00:04:33,600 --> 00:04:35,511
- Marla's so excited
- that she's actually
- 93
- 00:04:35,600 --> 00:04:37,272
- gonna finally meet Howard Hughes.
- 94
- 00:04:37,360 --> 00:04:39,112
- Will that be happening today?
- 95
- 00:04:39,200 --> 00:04:40,456
- That's hard for me to say, ma'am.
- 96
- 00:04:40,480 --> 00:04:41,674
- I'm new on the job.
- 97
- 00:04:41,800 --> 00:04:44,314
- I just, I got here from
- Fresno two weeks ago.
- 98
- 00:04:44,400 --> 00:04:45,594
- Oh, my goodness.
- 99
- 00:04:45,720 --> 00:04:47,358
- Two weeks in Los Angeles
- 100
- 00:04:47,440 --> 00:04:49,749
- and you're working for Howard Hughes?
- 101
- 00:04:49,840 --> 00:04:52,070
- No harm
- having high hopes, ma'am.
- 102
- 00:04:52,160 --> 00:04:53,600
- And what church do you go to, Frank,
- 103
- 00:04:53,640 --> 00:04:54,993
- if you don't mind my asking?
- 104
- 00:04:55,080 --> 00:04:57,435
- Well, it's First Methodist.
- It's in Fresno.
- 105
- 00:04:57,520 --> 00:04:59,670
- Oh. All right, you're a Methodist.
- 106
- 00:04:59,760 --> 00:05:01,671
- - Right.
- - I forgive you.
- 107
- 00:05:01,760 --> 00:05:04,320
- - Oh. She's kidding.
- - We're Baptists.
- 108
- 00:05:09,560 --> 00:05:10,879
- Blessed savior!
- 109
- 00:05:10,960 --> 00:05:13,235
- Oh, my goodness! What a view!
- 110
- 00:05:13,880 --> 00:05:17,031
- This is very, very nice. This is...
- 111
- 00:05:20,720 --> 00:05:22,711
- Where in the world
- is that coming from?
- 112
- 00:05:22,840 --> 00:05:25,513
- That's the Hollywood Bowl down there.
- 113
- 00:05:25,600 --> 00:05:27,238
- I think they're rehearsing.
- 114
- 00:05:27,880 --> 00:05:29,029
- Really?
- 115
- 00:05:29,960 --> 00:05:32,269
- $400 a week on top of this?
- 116
- 00:05:33,880 --> 00:05:36,075
- And your father never saw
- $400 a week
- 117
- 00:05:36,160 --> 00:05:37,798
- even as a full professor.
- 118
- 00:05:49,720 --> 00:05:53,474
- Um, the bags are all upstairs.
- The kitchen's stocked.
- 119
- 00:05:53,560 --> 00:05:55,471
- Uh, I'll be right in the...
- 120
- 00:05:55,560 --> 00:05:56,616
- Outside in the car, if you need me.
- 121
- 00:05:56,640 --> 00:05:59,677
- Do you know where the nearest
- Baptist church would be?
- 122
- 00:06:00,280 --> 00:06:01,918
- I'll check on that right away, ma'am.
- 123
- 00:06:02,000 --> 00:06:03,274
- So it just doesn't seem likely
- 124
- 00:06:03,360 --> 00:06:04,736
- that we'll meet
- Mr. Hughes this afternoon?
- 125
- 00:06:04,760 --> 00:06:07,274
- We assumed we'd meet him
- as soon as we arrived.
- 126
- 00:06:07,360 --> 00:06:09,749
- And where is the script
- for Stella Starlight?
- 127
- 00:06:10,480 --> 00:06:11,833
- Oh, I'm sorry, I don't...
- 128
- 00:06:11,920 --> 00:06:13,320
- Any idea when I do the screen test?
- 129
- 00:06:13,720 --> 00:06:14,720
- I'm sorry, I really...
- 130
- 00:06:16,920 --> 00:06:17,989
- Excuse me, sorry.
- 131
- 00:06:18,080 --> 00:06:20,196
- Uh, I'll be right outside in the car
- 132
- 00:06:20,280 --> 00:06:21,713
- until your next driver comes on.
- 133
- 00:06:21,800 --> 00:06:23,677
- His name is Levar.
- 134
- 00:06:24,680 --> 00:06:27,319
- Oh, my stars!
- 135
- 00:06:28,600 --> 00:06:30,636
- Why are these chairs
- so far back?
- 136
- 00:06:31,720 --> 00:06:33,199
- I'm gonna move them up.
- 137
- 00:06:33,280 --> 00:06:34,416
- President Eisenhower
- 138
- 00:06:34,440 --> 00:06:35,760
- went on to say that
- the government
- 139
- 00:06:35,800 --> 00:06:37,119
- has what he termed,
- 140
- 00:06:37,200 --> 00:06:40,476
- "all sorts of useful projects
- on the shelf,"
- 141
- 00:06:40,560 --> 00:06:41,560
- to be put into action
- 142
- 00:06:41,640 --> 00:06:43,376
- against the recession
- if and when they're needed.
- 143
- 00:06:43,400 --> 00:06:45,136
- The economy of this country
- 144
- 00:06:45,160 --> 00:06:46,878
- is a lot stronger than
- 145
- 00:06:46,960 --> 00:06:49,315
- the spirit of those people
- that I see...
- 146
- 00:06:49,400 --> 00:06:50,696
- "Bless us, oh, Lord,
- for these, Thy gifts
- 147
- 00:06:50,720 --> 00:06:52,016
- "that we are about to receive
- from thy bounty,
- 148
- 00:06:52,040 --> 00:06:53,080
- "through Christ, Our Lord.
- 149
- 00:06:53,160 --> 00:06:54,160
- - "Amen."
- - Amen.
- 150
- 00:06:56,840 --> 00:06:58,671
- Well, from all I've read
- about Howard Hughes
- 151
- 00:06:58,760 --> 00:07:01,194
- I hope he doesn't expect to
- meet you in some hotel room.
- 152
- 00:07:04,160 --> 00:07:05,388

- Yes, I got caviar

- 162

- 00:07:53,040 --> 00:07:54,473
- - Twenty six?
- - Twenty six?
- 167
- 00:08:05,160 --> 00:08:06,639
- This is how we get paid?
- 168
- 00:08:16,720 --> 00:08:18,870
- Lord in heaven!
- 169
- 00:08:22,360 --> 00:08:24,999
- Nadine, am I meeting Mr. Hughes today?
- 170
- 00:08:25,200 --> 00:08:27,191
- Sit.
- 171
- 00:08:28,640 --> 00:08:30,198
- This is an engineering problem.
- 172
- 00:08:30,320 --> 00:08:31,594
- You do know what these are?
- 173
- 00:08:31,680 --> 00:08:33,636
- Are these hulls of an aircraft?
- 174
- 00:08:33,760 --> 00:08:34,795
- What?
- 175
- 00:08:34,920 --> 00:08:37,388
- I don't know. Twin pontoons?
- 176
- 00:08:37,480 --> 00:08:38,754
- We do movies, Howard.
- 177
- 00:08:38,840 --> 00:08:40,478
- We don't know pontoons, propellers...
- 178
- 00:08:40,560 --> 00:08:41,709
- Gentlemen,
- 179
- 00:08:41,800 --> 00:08:43,536
- the way that the dress fits
- around the breasts
- 180
- 00:08:43,560 --> 00:08:45,596
- makes it look like they're padded.
- 181
- 00:08:45,680 --> 00:08:47,976
- If the brassiere incorporated
- some kind of point at the nipple
- 182
- 00:08:48,000 --> 00:08:49,000
- it would solve that.
- 183
- 00:08:49,080 --> 00:08:50,593
- And try not to let Miss Russell
- 184
- 00:08:50,680 --> 00:08:52,352
- hear you call them pontoons.
- 185
- 00:08:52,440 --> 00:08:54,078
- Good afternoon, gentlemen.
- 186
- 00:08:55,080 --> 00:08:57,230
- Both girls are going
- away for the weekend,
- 187
- 00:08:57,320 --> 00:08:58,912
- so go now.
- 188
- 00:09:03,920 --> 00:09:05,148
- Oh, Frank, there you are.
- 189
- 00:09:05,240 --> 00:09:06,639
- Listen, you're doing swell,
- 190
- 00:09:07,000 --> 00:09:09,320
- and I want you to be prepared
- to drive the boss any minute.
- 191
- 00:09:12,600 --> 00:09:14,556
- Well, my mom passed away.
- 192
- 00:09:14,640 --> 00:09:17,473
- Actually, I was raised
- mostly by my grandma.
- 193
- 00:09:18,840 --> 00:09:20,319
- And your dad?
- 194
- 00:09:20,800 --> 00:09:21,835
- Uh...
- 195
- 00:09:21,920 --> 00:09:25,595
- Well, he, kind of, took off
- before she passed away, so...
- 196
- 00:09:25,680 --> 00:09:27,113
- I think every few weeks,
- 197
- 00:09:27,200 --> 00:09:28,416
- I'll probably be able to go back
- 198
- 00:09:28,440 --> 00:09:31,079
- and see my grandma and my girl.
- 199
- 00:09:31,160 --> 00:09:32,559
- I grew up across the street from,
- 200
- 00:09:32,640 --> 00:09:33,868
- actually, my fiancée.
- 201
- 00:09:34,960 --> 00:09:37,713
- Right now she takes care
- of her father's dog kennel.
- 202
- 00:09:37,880 --> 00:09:40,110
- Do you think I'll ever
- get to meet Mr. Hughes?
- 203
- 00:09:40,200 --> 00:09:42,156
- So, who was it that said...
- 204
- 00:09:42,360 --> 00:09:44,954
- "They also serve
- who only stand and wait"?
- 205
- 00:09:45,200 --> 00:09:48,033
- John Milton on his blindness.
- 206
- 00:09:49,720 --> 00:09:52,234
- Good for you, smart cookie.
- 207
- 00:09:55,640 --> 00:09:57,119
- You know, they say in Hollywood,
- 208
- 00:09:57,240 --> 00:09:58,389
- a girl can get in trouble
- 209
- 00:09:58,480 --> 00:10:00,471
- for having a case of the smarts.
- 210
- 00:10:01,040 --> 00:10:02,712
- Not just in Hollywood, honey.
- 211
- 00:10:05,160 --> 00:10:06,160
- Ha-ha.
- 212
- 00:10:06,720 --> 00:10:08,199
- But if you or me make a move
- 213
- 00:10:08,280 --> 00:10:10,136
- on one of these chicks,
- we are dead in the water.
- 214
- 00:10:10,160 --> 00:10:11,878
- We're history. We're fired.
- 215
- 00:10:12,600 --> 00:10:15,034
- And the Iron Maiden has emerged.
- 216
- 00:10:15,120 --> 00:10:17,236
- - The what?
- - Iron Maiden.
- 217
- 00:10:17,320 --> 00:10:18,514
- The virgin Marla.
- 218
- 00:10:18,600 --> 00:10:20,080
- You did? That's horrible.
- 219
- 00:10:20,840 --> 00:10:21,989
- Stop, you.
- 220
- 00:10:22,080 --> 00:10:24,150
- What's going on?
- I called you three times.
- 221
- 00:10:24,240 --> 00:10:26,356
- Please, I'm late for my 4:00.
- 222
- 00:10:26,440 --> 00:10:27,475
- What's the matter?
- 223
- 00:10:27,560 --> 00:10:28,616
- You afraid
- the old man will hear
- 224
- 00:10:28,640 --> 00:10:29,896
- you were talking to a normal guy?
- 225
- 00:10:29,920 --> 00:10:31,399
- Oh, please, no.
- 226
- 00:10:31,480 --> 00:10:32,959
- Just don't, don't do this.
- 227
- 00:10:33,040 --> 00:10:36,157
- I'm not doing anything
- and neither are you.
- 228
- 00:10:36,280 --> 00:10:37,360
- You're not allowed to do...
- 229
- 00:10:37,440 --> 00:10:38,680
- I'm doing just fine. Thank you.
- 230
- 00:10:38,720 --> 00:10:40,199
- You know what? Forget it.
- 231
- 00:10:40,960 --> 00:10:42,871
- What was that about?
- 232
- 00:10:43,040 --> 00:10:45,349
- Some guys never stop
- looking to hide the salami.
- 233
- 00:10:45,440 --> 00:10:46,440
- What?
- 234
- 00:10:47,520 --> 00:10:49,590
- - What?
- - Hide the salami.
- 235
- 00:10:51,240 --> 00:10:52,309
- Do the deed.
- 236
- 00:10:52,480 --> 00:10:53,674
- Dip the wick.
- 237
- 00:10:53,760 --> 00:10:55,113
- Varnish the cane.
- 238
- 00:10:56,400 --> 00:10:57,435
- Butter the muffin.
- 239
- 00:10:58,080 --> 00:10:59,991

- Absolutely.
- 288
- 00:12:59,200 --> 00:13:00,456
- And you still feel
- 289
- 00:13:00,480 --> 00:13:01,856
- Howard Hughes
- is going to be interested
- 290
- 00:13:01,880 --> 00:13:03,080
- in developing
- a housing project
- 291
- 00:13:03,120 --> 00:13:04,120
- with a kid your age?
- 292
- 00:13:04,200 --> 00:13:05,918
- When you finally meet him.
- 293
- 00:13:06,000 --> 00:13:08,673
- For all have sinned and come
- short of the glory of God.
- 294
- 00:13:08,760 --> 00:13:10,280
- The Bible says that we're all sinners.
- 295
- 00:13:10,880 --> 00:13:12,871
- And the word "sin" actually means
- 296
- 00:13:12,960 --> 00:13:14,188
- that we've come short of
- 297
- 00:13:14,280 --> 00:13:15,776
- God's standards.
- 298
- 00:13:15,800 --> 00:13:17,518
- Jesus said...
- 299
- 00:13:17,600 --> 00:13:18,776
- ...that we should
- love the Lord God
- 300
- 00:13:18,800 --> 00:13:20,096
- with all our heart, mind, and soul
- 301
- 00:13:20,120 --> 00:13:21,920
- and our neighbors ourselves.
- And I think if...
- 302
- 00:13:22,560 --> 00:13:23,675
- You think he knows?
- 303
- 00:13:24,920 --> 00:13:25,955
- Knows what?
- 304
- 00:13:26,360 --> 00:13:28,237
- You know, that you and I have...
- 305
- 00:13:31,160 --> 00:13:32,513
- ...gone all the way.
- 306
- 00:13:33,080 --> 00:13:34,399
- Don't be silly.
- 307
- 00:13:34,480 --> 00:13:36,038
- Frank, why do
- all you drivers slow down
- 308
- 00:13:36,120 --> 00:13:37,439
- and speed up again like that?
- 309
- 00:13:38,920 --> 00:13:40,440
- These are from
- the Hughes organization.
- 310
- 00:13:40,720 --> 00:13:42,392
- Read card 4, please.
- 311
- 00:13:42,480 --> 00:13:44,072
- Read 4.
- 312
- 00:13:44,160 --> 00:13:46,549
- "When transporting
- female contract players,
- 313
- 00:13:46,640 --> 00:13:49,313
- "drivers will slow
- to two miles per hour

- "that may jostle

- 316
- 00:13:55,560 --> 00:13:57,198
- What does that mean, body parts?
- 317
- 00:13:57,280 --> 00:13:58,429
- You're kidding!
- 318
- 00:13:58,520 --> 00:14:00,875
- I haven't even met him
- and he's protecting my body parts?
- 319
- 00:14:00,960 --> 00:14:02,712
- - What does it mean?
- - Mom, he means my...
- 320
- 00:14:02,800 --> 00:14:04,836
- Oh, my God. That's outrageous!
- 321
- 00:14:04,920 --> 00:14:06,680
- I know. How does he know
- they're unsupported?
- 322
- 00:14:06,720 --> 00:14:08,216
- - It's not amusing, Marla!
- - That's what I wanna know.
- 323
- 00:14:08,240 --> 00:14:09,309
- It's funny.
- 324
- 00:14:09,400 --> 00:14:10,576
- It's not in the slightest
- bit amusing.
- 325
- 00:14:10,600 --> 00:14:12,909
- To treat these women
- like he owns their bodies.
- 326
- 00:14:13,000 --> 00:14:15,056
- - He doesn't own their bodies.
- - To have these young girls go to class
- 327
- 00:14:15,080 --> 00:14:16,456
- in their tiny little dance outfits.
- 328
- 00:14:16,480 --> 00:14:17,816
- Uniforms, they're called uniforms.
- 329
- 00:14:17,840 --> 00:14:19,176
- Have them grabbing
- for their paychecks
- 330
- 00:14:19,200 --> 00:14:20,599
- like it was bait on a hook.
- 331
- 00:14:20,680 --> 00:14:21,800
- - Which it is.
- - Mom, please.
- 332
- 00:14:21,880 --> 00:14:23,711
- It's just so insulting
- and disrespectful.
- 333
- 00:14:23,840 --> 00:14:25,193
- And you just watch all this
- 334
- 00:14:25,280 --> 00:14:26,918
- without saying one word,
- 335
- 00:14:27,000 --> 00:14:28,456
- - Frank, not a single word.
- - What's he going to say?
- 336
- 00:14:28,480 --> 00:14:29,696
- Mrs. Mabrey, I've signed a contract
- 337
- 00:14:29,720 --> 00:14:31,278
- agreeing not to talk about Mr. Hughes.
- 338
- 00:14:31,360 --> 00:14:32,679
- Oh, have you? I can only imagine
- 339
- 00:14:32,760 --> 00:14:34,193
- what it is you won't talk about.
- 340
- 00:14:34,280 --> 00:14:36,430
- Do you realize my daughter's
- never met Mr. Hughes?
- 341
- 00:14:36,560 --> 00:14:37,629
- I do, ma'am.
- 342
- 00:14:37,720 --> 00:14:40,280
- Never heard one word from him
- about this screen test?
- 343
- 00:14:40,400 --> 00:14:41,736
- You know, you've saved your money.
- 344
- 00:14:41,760 --> 00:14:42,875
- You're a smart girl.
- 345
- 00:14:42,960 --> 00:14:45,838
- You can buy a lot of caviar back
- in Front Royal, Virginia, my dear.
- 346
- 00:14:45,920 --> 00:14:47,148
- They don't have caviar
- 347
- 00:14:47,280 --> 00:14:48,416
- back in Front Royal,
- Virginia, my dear.
- 348
- 00:14:48,440 --> 00:14:49,896
- Don't you be snippy with me,
- young lady.
- 349
- 00:14:49,920 --> 00:14:50,976
- Nobody's getting any younger.
- 350
- 00:14:51,000 --> 00:14:54,310
- Mrs. Mabrey, I'd appreciate
- your keeping this between us.
- 351
- 00:14:54,400 --> 00:14:56,038
- I've never met Mr. Hughes either.
- 352
- 00:15:00,160 --> 00:15:01,160
- - Amen.
- - Amen.
- 353
- 00:15:01,240 --> 00:15:03,231
- I'll get it.
- 354
- 00:15:06,480 --> 00:15:07,480
- Hello?
- 355
- 00:15:07,560 --> 00:15:08,834
- - Mabrey?
- - Yes, Nadine.
- 356
- 00:15:08,920 --> 00:15:10,096
- Everything in the house is fine?
- 357
- 00:15:10,120 --> 00:15:11,553
- Yes, everything is fine.
- 358
- 00:15:11,680 --> 00:15:12,936
- Thank you. We would like to know,
- 359
- 00:15:12,960 --> 00:15:14,837
- when is the screen test
- for Stella Starlight?
- 360
- 00:15:14,920 --> 00:15:16,776
- And where, for heaven's sake,
- is Mr. Howard Hughes
- 361
- 00:15:16,800 --> 00:15:17,976
- who's never been gracious enough
- 362
- 00:15:18,000 --> 00:15:20,468
- to speak one word
- to my daughter since she's been here?
- 363
- 00:15:20,560 --> 00:15:22,516
- We are not a couple
- of Virginia bumpkins.
- 364
- 00:15:22,600 --> 00:15:23,794
- We've waited long enough.
- 365
- 00:15:23,880 --> 00:15:25,871
- I have nothing further to say.
- Good night.
- 366
- 00:15:25,960 --> 00:15:27,029
- Marla,
- 367
- 00:15:27,120 --> 00:15:29,475
- you turned down a scholarship
- to Mary Washington.
- 368
- 00:15:29,560 --> 00:15:31,596
- You haven't written a song
- since you've been here,
- 369
- 00:15:31,680 --> 00:15:33,033
- and you haven't even met this man
- 370
- 00:15:33,160 --> 00:15:35,037
- who's supposedly
- making your screen test.
- 371
- 00:15:35,320 --> 00:15:37,151
- His money is not enough
- to buy your time.
- 372
- 00:15:37,240 --> 00:15:38,336
- Mom, he's the king of Hollywood,
- 373
- 00:15:38,360 --> 00:15:40,016
- he's one of the most
- respected men in America.
- 374
- 00:15:40,040 --> 00:15:41,120
- He's some kind of a genius.
- 375
- 00:15:41,160 --> 00:15:42,256
- Everybody wants him, he's a busy man.
- 376
- 00:15:42,280 --> 00:15:44,669
- And you are a gifted young woman
- with a wonderful future.
- 377
- 00:15:44,760 --> 00:15:46,352
- God forbid, in a town like this.
- 378
- 00:15:46,440 --> 00:15:48,396
- This game Howard Hughes
- plays with young women,
- 379
- 00:15:48,480 --> 00:15:49,913
- it doesn't fool me one bit.
- 380
- 00:15:50,320 --> 00:15:51,958
- Nobody's getting any younger.
- 381
- 00:15:52,240 --> 00:15:53,514
- We are going home.
- 382
- 00:15:54,640 --> 00:15:55,834
- We?
- 383
- 00:16:03,720 --> 00:16:04,869
- I love you, Mom.
- 384
- 00:16:06,200 --> 00:16:07,952
- I'll help you pack.
- 385
- 00:16:08,040 --> 00:16:09,792
- The Bible tells us,
- 386
- 00:16:09,880 --> 00:16:11,233
- that whosoever
- looketh on a woman
- 387
- 00:16:11,320 --> 00:16:12,799
- to lust after her,
- 388
- 00:16:12,880 --> 00:16:16,475
- hath committed adultery
- with her already in his heart.
- 389
- 00:16:16,560 --> 00:16:18,256
- Someone who tells us the Bible
- 390
- 00:16:18,280 --> 00:16:19,696
- doesn't deal with sex before marriage
- 391
- 00:16:19,720 --> 00:16:22,188
- is simply trying
- to avoid feeling guilty.
- 392
- 00:16:22,280 --> 00:16:25,511
- There is a time to reap
- and a time to sow.
- 393
- 00:16:25,600 --> 00:16:27,636
- There is a time to embrace,
- 394
- 00:16:27,720 --> 00:16:30,518
- and a time to refrain from embracing.
- 395
- 00:16:36,640 --> 00:16:37,993
- - Hi.
- - Hi.
- 396
- 00:16:39,000 --> 00:16:40,069
- How was church?
- 397
- 00:16:50,920 --> 00:16:52,069
- Miss your mom, huh?
- 398
- 00:16:52,280 --> 00:16:54,032
- Let's just go. I like driving.
- 399
- 00:16:54,680 --> 00:16:56,591
- I didn't think you knew how.
- 400
- 00:16:56,760 --> 00:16:58,352
- Ugh! I mean, I like going for a drive.
- 401
- 00:16:58,440 --> 00:17:00,000
- I know how to drive,
- or I did. Let's go.
- 402
- 00:17:00,120 --> 00:17:01,200
- What do you mean "You did"?
- 403
- 00:17:01,240 --> 00:17:02,753
- My dad, God rest his soul,
- 404
- 00:17:02,840 --> 00:17:04,136
- thought women drivers
- were dangerous,
- 405
- 00:17:04,160 --> 00:17:06,469
- so I quit, then I forgot how. Okay?
- 406
- 00:17:09,680 --> 00:17:11,671
- - What are you doing?
- - You'll remember.
- 407
- 00:17:11,800 --> 00:17:13,336
- You've got a driver's license,
- don't you?
- 408
- 00:17:13,360 --> 00:17:15,828
- Let's go. I want to show you
- a place off Mulholland Drive.
- 409
- 00:17:25,720 --> 00:17:26,835
- Wait.
- 410
- 00:17:31,720 --> 00:17:33,950
- It's nice back here.
- 411
- 00:17:36,080 --> 00:17:37,149
- Hey!
- 412
- 00:17:37,880 --> 00:17:38,915
- Ooh.
- 413
- 00:17:40,640 --> 00:17:42,790
- Oh.
- 414
- 00:17:42,920 --> 00:17:44,069
- What do wanna show me?
- 415
- 00:17:44,160 --> 00:17:46,037
- It's just some acreage
- I wanna develop.
- 416
- 00:17:46,120 --> 00:17:47,553
- Slow down a little bit around here.
- 417
- 00:17:47,640 --> 00:17:49,392
- It's for affordable housing.
- 418
- 00:17:49,480 --> 00:17:51,152
- Affordable housing?
- 419
- 00:17:51,240 --> 00:17:52,696
- Yeah. You know,
- people who aren't rich.
- 420
- 00:17:52,720 --> 00:17:54,392
- They wanna get out of the cities,
- 421
- 00:17:54,560 --> 00:17:56,551
- and into the suburbs.
- 422
- 00:17:56,760 --> 00:18:00,196
- Just take a right, right here.
- Take a right, right here?
- 423
- 00:18:00,280 --> 00:18:01,838
- Never mind.
- 424
- 00:18:02,560 --> 00:18:04,596
- The land I'm gonna show you,
- the Teamsters own it.
- 425
- 00:18:04,680 --> 00:18:06,193
- They tried making it a golf course,
- 426
- 00:18:06,280 --> 00:18:07,679
- but nobody came.
- 427
- 00:18:07,760 --> 00:18:10,752
- Okay, you can slow down
- a little bit more, right?
- 428
- 00:18:10,840 --> 00:18:12,876
- It's 117 acres.
- 429
- 00:18:12,960 --> 00:18:15,080
- I feel, you know,
- if you make a good deal
- 430
- 00:18:15,160 --> 00:18:16,798
- on the land
- and then you subdivide...
- 431
- 00:18:16,880 --> 00:18:18,233
- I don't mean big houses,
- 432
- 00:18:18,320 --> 00:18:20,515
- I mean, modest houses
- for middle class families.
- 433
- 00:18:20,600 --> 00:18:21,828
- Okay, there's...
- 434
- 00:18:24,080 --> 00:18:25,195
- Cash is king right now.
- 435
- 00:18:25,280 --> 00:18:26,599
- With Howard Hughes
- as a backer,
- 436
- 00:18:26,680 --> 00:18:28,176
- I mean, I know
- I can make him a profit.
- 437
- 00:18:28,200 --> 00:18:30,668
- I wanna call it Mulholland Canyon.
- 438
- 00:18:31,360 --> 00:18:32,360
- You got a light.
- 439
- 00:18:33,560 --> 00:18:36,279
- They told me again,
- "Be ready to drive the boss."
- 440
- 00:18:36,760 --> 00:18:39,320
- Wow! You might even meet the guy.
- 441
- 00:18:39,960 --> 00:18:41,279
- I should become a driver.
- 442
- 00:18:43,360 --> 00:18:45,237
- Well, I'm driving.
- 443
- 00:18:58,400 --> 00:18:59,958
- I think you're right
- about this place.
- 444
- 00:19:14,560 --> 00:19:15,629
- They told me earlier,
- 445
- 00:19:15,720 --> 00:19:17,296
- class was canceled.
- They didn't call you?
- 446
- 00:19:17,320 --> 00:19:20,039
- I never quite know
- what's going on.
- 447
- 00:19:20,480 --> 00:19:22,152
- I had such a strange day.
- 448
- 00:19:23,520 --> 00:19:24,873
- I was outside at Schwab's,
- 449
- 00:19:25,320 --> 00:19:26,992
- and this guy
- started talking to me.
- 450
- 00:19:27,600 --> 00:19:28,999
- It was nice, I mean he wasn't...
- 451
- 00:19:29,960 --> 00:19:32,110
- He wasn't making
- a pass at me or anything,
- 452
- 00:19:32,200 --> 00:19:34,350
- but we talked, and he said
- 453
- 00:19:34,440 --> 00:19:36,829
- he'd like to have dinner, and I'm...
- 454
- 00:19:38,600 --> 00:19:39,919
- I'm just looking at him,
- 455
- 00:19:40,000 --> 00:19:41,718
- and then I realize who I'm talking to.
- 456
- 00:19:45,600 --> 00:19:46,635
- Bobby Darin.
- 457
- 00:19:48,720 --> 00:19:50,119
- I said, "I can't believe it.
- 458
- 00:19:50,200 --> 00:19:51,428
- "You're Bobby Darin."
- 459
- 00:19:51,520 --> 00:19:53,216
- I mean, okay, he didn't know
- I was an actress or anything.
- 460
- 00:19:53,240 --> 00:19:54,880
- But I didn't even know
- he was Bobby Darin.
- 461
- 00:19:59,440 --> 00:20:00,440
- It just...
- 462
- 00:20:01,400 --> 00:20:02,400
- I...
- 463
- 00:20:21,800 --> 00:20:22,869
- I feel...
- 464
- 00:20:24,320 --> 00:20:25,355
- Old.
- 465
- 00:20:26,640 --> 00:20:27,755
- Old?
- 466
- 00:20:27,840 --> 00:20:29,456
- I mean, wouldn't you say in
- Hollywood as a rule,
- 467
- 00:20:29,480 --> 00:20:30,976
- when you've been here
- as long as I have
- 468
- 00:20:31,000 --> 00:20:32,136
- that you should have
- already more or less
- 469
- 00:20:32,160 --> 00:20:33,160
- shown what you can do?
- 470
- 00:20:33,240 --> 00:20:36,038
- Let's be honest, maybe I'm not
- the right girl for this,
- 471
- 00:20:36,160 --> 00:20:37,456
- I mean aren't you supposed
- to have big bosoms
- 472
- 00:20:37,480 --> 00:20:39,152
- and be sexy and casual
- about everything?
- 473
- 00:20:39,240 --> 00:20:40,878
- I'm a square.
- 474
- 00:20:40,960 --> 00:20:42,552
- I can't really act. I can't dance.
- 475
- 00:20:42,640 --> 00:20:44,710
- I can write songs,
- but I can't really sing.
- 476
- 00:20:44,880 --> 00:20:47,110
- A movie actress should
- sing songs, not write them.
- 477
- 00:20:47,200 --> 00:20:48,713
- Wouldn't you say that's true?
- 478
- 00:20:48,800 --> 00:20:49,915
- I mean, as a rule.
- 479
- 00:20:50,080 --> 00:20:51,840
- I mean, in this town,
- aren't those the rules?
- 480
- 00:20:52,480 --> 00:20:53,549
- What?
- 481
- 00:20:53,640 --> 00:20:55,040
- Come on, Frank, you know the rules.
- 482
- 00:20:59,320 --> 00:21:00,435
- You're an exception.
- 483
- 00:21:04,240 --> 00:21:06,435
- The rules don't apply to you.
- 484
- 00:21:10,720 --> 00:21:11,789
- Hold on.
- 485
- 00:21:13,640 --> 00:21:14,709
- Hello?
- 486
- 00:21:14,800 --> 00:21:16,358
- Marla, hi.
- 487
- 00:21:16,760 --> 00:21:18,079
- I just wanted you to know...
- 488
- 00:21:18,160 --> 00:21:20,230
- you're meeting
- with Mr. Hughes tonight.
- 489
- 00:21:20,320 --> 00:21:22,276
- I'll send someone
- to pick you up right away.
- 490
- 00:21:23,920 --> 00:21:25,035
- Thank you.
- 491
- 00:21:29,880 --> 00:21:30,915
- Guess what.
- 492
- 00:21:34,520 --> 00:21:36,556
- This is the Beverly Hills Hotel?
- 493
- 00:21:36,640 --> 00:21:39,108
- We take the private entrance
- to the Polo Lounge.
- 494
- 00:21:42,720 --> 00:21:43,914
- Hi!
- 495
- 00:21:44,040 --> 00:21:45,359
- Oh, thank you.
- 496
- 00:21:45,480 --> 00:21:46,515
- Oh.
- 497
- 00:21:46,600 --> 00:21:48,079
- Would you like a cocktail?
- 498
- 00:21:48,320 --> 00:21:49,320
- Oh...
- 499
- 00:21:49,680 --> 00:21:50,795
- I don't drink.
- 500
- 00:21:54,840 --> 00:21:56,432
- - Okay, I'll be in the car.
- - Oh, okay.
- 501
- 00:22:01,440 --> 00:22:03,078
- Would you follow me, Ms. Mabrey?
- 502
- 00:22:03,880 --> 00:22:05,359
- What are you talking about?
- 503
- 00:22:29,880 --> 00:22:32,155
- - It's dark in here.
- - Have a seat.
- 504
- 00:22:32,240 --> 00:22:34,231
- Does he always keep it this dark?
- 505
- 00:22:54,000 --> 00:22:55,319
- Does he stay in this bungalow?
- 506
- 00:22:57,360 --> 00:22:59,316
- Sorry, I can't say.
- 507
- 00:23:05,240 --> 00:23:07,117
- Did I hear
- he has five bungalows?
- 508
- 00:23:18,800 --> 00:23:19,800
- Hmm.
- 509
- 00:23:20,360 --> 00:23:22,237
- What's in those bottles?
- 510
- 00:23:23,160 --> 00:23:24,593
- That's water.
- 511
- 00:23:26,280 --> 00:23:27,599
- From Maine.
- 512
- 00:23:31,440 --> 00:23:32,714
- Water.
- 513
- 00:23:33,840 --> 00:23:35,239
- From Maine.
- 514
- 00:23:39,320 --> 00:23:40,514
- Is Frank still here?
- 515
- 00:23:41,520 --> 00:23:42,839
- He's, uh...
- 516
- 00:23:43,960 --> 00:23:45,598
- He's in the car.
- 517
- 00:23:47,400 --> 00:23:49,630
- You like crossword puzzles?
- 518
- 00:23:51,640 --> 00:23:53,835
- Yeah.
- 519
- 00:23:56,680 --> 00:23:57,680
- Yes?
- 520
- 00:23:57,800 --> 00:23:58,949
- Right away.
- 521
- 00:24:37,920 --> 00:24:40,593
- Ah! Mr. Hughes. I recognize
- you from your pictures.
- 522
- 00:24:40,680 --> 00:24:41,829
- I'd like to thank you.
- 523
- 00:24:41,920 --> 00:24:43,096
- Thank you for my acting classes,
- 524
- 00:24:43,120 --> 00:24:44,176
- thank you for my ballet classes,
- 525
- 00:24:44,200 --> 00:24:45,315
- thank you for the house
- 526
- 00:24:45,400 --> 00:24:46,456
- thank you for the paycheck,
- 527
- 00:24:46,480 --> 00:24:48,280
- and thank you for the chance
- to become a star.
- 528
- 00:25:01,080 --> 00:25:03,548
- Your name is, is...
- 529
- 00:25:07,160 --> 00:25:08,832
- - Marla.
- - Marla.
- 530
- 00:25:08,920 --> 00:25:11,309
- - Marla Mabrey.
- - Marla Mabrey. Yes.
- 531
- 00:25:11,400 --> 00:25:12,992
- Some champagne, Marla?
- 532
- 00:25:13,560 --> 00:25:15,437
- Oh, no. No, thank you, I don't drink.
- 533
- 00:25:16,720 --> 00:25:19,996
- You don't like to
- have a drink?
- 534
- 00:25:20,120 --> 00:25:21,400
- No, actually I've never had one.
- 535
- 00:25:23,040 --> 00:25:24,473
- You've never had a drink?
- 536
- 00:25:25,400 --> 00:25:26,435
- No.
- 537
- 00:25:27,000 --> 00:25:28,000
- Huh.
- 538
- 00:25:29,480 --> 00:25:31,516
- You've never had
- a drink in your life?
- 539
- 00:25:32,000 --> 00:25:33,115
- No.
- 540
- 00:25:34,320 --> 00:25:36,709
- Good for you, good for you.
- 541
- 00:25:36,800 --> 00:25:39,519
- You do eat, yes?
- 542
- 00:25:39,880 --> 00:25:41,472
- I do.
- 543
- 00:25:41,760 --> 00:25:43,318
- Yes, I do eat.
- 544
- 00:25:46,120 --> 00:25:47,473
- Ah, gee.
- 545
- 00:25:48,280 --> 00:25:50,350
- This is neat.
- Steak, mashed potatoes,
- 546
- 00:25:50,440 --> 00:25:52,396
- little peas.
- 547
- 00:25:52,640 --> 00:25:55,598
- Just about every single one
- of my favorites.
- 548
- 00:25:58,720 --> 00:26:00,631
- Should I take mime, Mr. Hughes?
- 549
- 00:26:03,960 --> 00:26:05,376
- They say it's the visual that counts.
- 550
- 00:26:05,400 --> 00:26:06,800
- A picture's worth a thousand words.
- 551
- 00:26:06,880 --> 00:26:08,640
- And stardom's all in
- how you carry your body.
- 552
- 00:26:10,040 --> 00:26:11,712
- Is it true Lana Turner took mime?
- 553
- 00:26:16,600 --> 00:26:18,033
- I guess I'm just all confused.
- 554
- 00:26:21,400 --> 00:26:23,311
- What material will I do
- 555
- 00:26:23,400 --> 00:26:25,280
- when you do my screen test
- for Stella Starlight?
- 556
- 00:27:13,840 --> 00:27:14,875
- Nice.
- 557
- 00:27:16,160 --> 00:27:17,160
- Yes.
- 558
- 00:27:18,560 --> 00:27:19,834
- That's rayon, you know,
- 559
- 00:27:19,920 --> 00:27:21,592
- the American Viscose Corporation
- 560
- 00:27:21,680 --> 00:27:24,558
- started making rayon before the war.
- 561
- 00:27:25,080 --> 00:27:26,479
- Good stuff.
- 562
- 00:27:27,200 --> 00:27:28,235
- - Hello?
- - Yes?
- 563
- 00:27:29,040 --> 00:27:31,349
- Look, I want you to tell Arnold
- 564
- 00:27:31,800 --> 00:27:34,758
- that the wing flaps are not 35.4.
- 565
- 00:27:34,880 --> 00:27:36,313
- They're 36.9.
- 566
- 00:27:36,480 --> 00:27:39,392
- I have told him that
- not once, but twice!
- 567
- 00:27:39,480 --> 00:27:40,833
- So take care of it!
- 568
- 00:27:43,000 --> 00:27:44,035
- Mr. Hughes,
- 569
- 00:27:44,120 --> 00:27:46,190
- I don't know if I have the talent
- 570
- 00:27:46,280 --> 00:27:47,713
- to be successful in the movies,
- 571
- 00:27:47,800 --> 00:27:48,869
- but I think I do.
- 572
- 00:27:48,960 --> 00:27:51,056
- And I'm not insulted by your
- failure to meet me sooner
- 573
- 00:27:51,080 --> 00:27:53,469
- because I know you have your
- own way of doing things.
- 574
- 00:27:53,560 --> 00:27:55,471
- And I may be a bumpkin from Virginia,
- 575
- 00:27:55,560 --> 00:27:56,560
- but I'm a good Christian.
- 576
- 00:27:56,640 --> 00:27:57,760
- And I'm smart enough to know
- 577
- 00:27:57,840 --> 00:27:59,056
- that if the rumors
- I've heard about you
- 578
- 00:27:59,080 --> 00:28:00,896
- with women were true,
- you wouldn't have had time
- 579
- 00:28:00,920 --> 00:28:02,256
- to fly a plane, let alone invent one
- 580
- 00:28:02,280 --> 00:28:05,750
- whether the wing flaps
- were 35.4 or 36.9.
- 581
- 00:28:05,840 --> 00:28:08,070
- So I only hope I can earn
- your respect for my work
- 582
- 00:28:08,160 --> 00:28:10,549
- because you've certainly
- earned my respect for yours.
- 583
- 00:28:10,800 --> 00:28:12,199
- What is so funny?
- 584
- 00:28:12,280 --> 00:28:15,033
- Hey, I'm gonna get busy
- on the screen test.
- 585
- 00:28:15,440 --> 00:28:16,509
- Nadine.
- 586
- 00:28:16,600 --> 00:28:17,794
- Blessed Savior!
- 587
- 00:28:17,880 --> 00:28:19,216
- Will you say hello to Nadine for me?
- 588
- 00:28:19,240 --> 00:28:20,275
- She's a treasure.
- 589
- 00:28:20,920 --> 00:28:22,751
- Nadine, I wanna get busy right away
- 590
- 00:28:22,840 --> 00:28:25,434
- on the Stella Starlight screen test
- 591
- 00:28:25,520 --> 00:28:26,839
- for Marla Mabrey, okay?
- 592
- 00:28:26,920 --> 00:28:28,399
- Good. Also, make sure
- 593
- 00:28:28,480 --> 00:28:30,675
- Harvey retouched the picture
- of me in my sweater.
- 594
- 00:28:30,760 --> 00:28:31,829
- Okay.
- 595
- 00:28:33,520 --> 00:28:34,794
- Thanks, Marla.
- 596
- 00:28:42,160 --> 00:28:43,388
- Thank you!
- 597
- 00:28:48,680 --> 00:28:50,193
- So what's he really like?
- 598
- 00:28:50,720 --> 00:28:52,016
- My mom could not have been more wrong.
- 599
- 00:28:52,040 --> 00:28:53,519
- A total gentleman! Amazing!
- 600
- 00:28:53,600 --> 00:28:55,033
- I mean, yes, he's not young.
- 601
- 00:28:55,120 --> 00:28:57,156
- But the man's
- an incredibly romantic figure.
- 602
- 00:28:57,240 --> 00:28:58,456
- I mean, let's face it, he's old
- 603
- 00:28:58,480 --> 00:29:00,120
- but everybody's got a crush
- on him anyway.
- 604
- 00:29:00,200 --> 00:29:01,376
- I don't know if it's the money
- 605
- 00:29:01,400 --> 00:29:02,840
- or the power or the mystery or what.
- 606
- 00:29:04,240 --> 00:29:05,719
- This is silly.
- 607
- 00:29:05,800 --> 00:29:06,800
- What am I,
- 608
- 00:29:06,880 --> 00:29:08,313
- Mamie Eisenhower in a limousine?
- 609
- 00:29:08,440 --> 00:29:11,113
- I think maybe
- it's gonna happen now, Frank.
- 610
- 00:29:11,200 --> 00:29:12,633
- I just met Howard Hughes.
- 611
- 00:29:12,880 --> 00:29:15,633
- Frank, that's 3:15 a.m.
- Do you read me?
- 612
- 00:29:15,720 --> 00:29:17,119
- Roger. 3:15 a.m.
- 613
- 00:29:17,400 --> 00:29:18,833
- What's 3:15 a.m.?
- 614
- 00:29:19,280 --> 00:29:20,474
- I'm meeting him.
- 615
- 00:29:20,840 --> 00:29:23,229
- I pick him up here, 3:15 a.m.
- 616
- 00:29:23,320 --> 00:29:26,073
- It is a big day!
- 617
- 00:29:26,200 --> 00:29:28,839
- My mom could not have been
- more wrong!
- 618
- 00:29:29,600 --> 00:29:30,794
- That's water.
- 619
- 00:29:32,200 --> 00:29:33,315
- From Maine.
- 620
- 00:29:34,960 --> 00:29:36,075
- Water.
- 621
- 00:29:36,680 --> 00:29:37,680
- From Maine.
- 622
- 00:29:39,640 --> 00:29:42,791
- How many bathrooms did
- the house you grew up in have?
- 623
- 00:29:44,720 --> 00:29:45,914
- One.
- 624
- 00:29:47,320 --> 00:29:48,514
- Mine, too.
- 625
- 00:29:50,680 --> 00:29:52,159
- Keep dreaming about that house.
- 626
- 00:29:52,240 --> 00:29:53,559
- I keep knocking walls out
- 627
- 00:29:53,640 --> 00:29:55,119
- and making it bigger and bigger.
- 628
- 00:29:55,200 --> 00:29:58,556
- No, no, no. I need to know
- if that son of a bitch Levar,
- 629
- 00:29:58,640 --> 00:30:00,835
- is behaving appropriately
- with these girls.
- 630
- 00:30:00,920 --> 00:30:01,920
- And by the way,
- 631
- 00:30:02,000 --> 00:30:03,320
- I'm not sure about Wilbur either.
- 632
- 00:30:03,880 --> 00:30:06,553
- So tonight, I'm checking out
- this kid Frank Forbes.
- 633
- 00:30:07,920 --> 00:30:09,638
- Did you ever think you'd be sittin' in
- 634
- 00:30:09,720 --> 00:30:12,632
- your front yard listening to
- the Los Angeles Philharmonic?
- 635
- 00:30:24,800 --> 00:30:27,917
- Let's just hope nobody saw me
- driving you in the front seat.
- 636
- 00:30:49,040 --> 00:30:50,393
- Frank, I really wanna
- let you know
- 637
- 00:30:50,480 --> 00:30:52,596
- that when you told me
- the rules don't apply to me
- 638
- 00:30:53,120 --> 00:30:54,189
- it was really helpful.
- 639
- 00:30:57,400 --> 00:30:58,400
- Good.
- 640
- 00:31:07,640 --> 00:31:10,108
- You know, they don't
- apply to you either.
- 641
- 00:31:10,200 --> 00:31:11,394
- Right.
- 642
- 00:31:12,080 --> 00:31:13,115
- Right.
- 643
- 00:31:13,920 --> 00:31:14,989
- Right.
- 644
- 00:31:23,720 --> 00:31:25,870
- I guess we better
- say good night.
- 645
- 00:31:25,960 --> 00:31:27,109
- Yes.
- 646
- 00:31:27,320 --> 00:31:28,639
- Good night.
- 647
- 00:31:33,960 --> 00:31:35,359
- Hey! You've got a date at 3:15.
- 648
- 00:31:38,320 --> 00:31:39,833
- Bobby Darin's not coming by later?
- 649
- 00:31:58,240 --> 00:32:00,356
- Mr. Hughes, I'm Frank.
- 650
- 00:32:13,160 --> 00:32:15,549
- It's really an honor
- 651
- 00:32:15,640 --> 00:32:18,200
- to have the opportunity
- to drive you, Mr. Hughes.
- 652
- 00:32:18,320 --> 00:32:19,594
- I didn't... I wasn't...
- 653
- 00:32:19,680 --> 00:32:20,999
- I didn't know I'd be...
- 654
- 00:32:21,080 --> 00:32:23,833
- It would happen that
- I'd be driving you, but I...
- 655
- 00:32:23,960 --> 00:32:25,757
- ...or that I'd be...
- 656
- 00:32:28,960 --> 00:32:30,598
- ...meeting you, I mean.
- 657
- 00:32:40,160 --> 00:32:41,559
- It's a nice night.
- 658
- 00:32:45,720 --> 00:32:47,438
- Hey, do you think Levar
- 659
- 00:32:47,520 --> 00:32:49,351
- and Wilbur are the kind of guys
- 660
- 00:32:49,440 --> 00:32:52,352
- who might wanna
- chippy on their wives?
- 661
- 00:32:52,440 --> 00:32:54,237
- - Chippy, sir?
- - Cheat.
- 662
- 00:32:54,320 --> 00:32:57,869
- Oh! I think they're
- both honest men, sir.
- 663
- 00:32:57,960 --> 00:33:00,190
- - Not old and jaded, you know?
- - No.
- 664
- 00:33:00,280 --> 00:33:02,748
- Yeah, because that's one thing
- I simply cannot abide
- 665
- 00:33:02,840 --> 00:33:04,910
- is a married man
- who chippies on his wife.
- 666
- 00:33:05,000 --> 00:33:06,513
- I have to fire him, you know?
- 667
- 00:33:06,600 --> 00:33:08,750
- And if anybody working for me
- 668
- 00:33:08,880 --> 00:33:10,711
- wants to strike up a relationship
- 669
- 00:33:10,840 --> 00:33:12,990
- with one of
- our contract actresses
- 670
- 00:33:13,080 --> 00:33:14,433
- - I have to fire him.
- - Right.
- 671
- 00:33:14,520 --> 00:33:16,272
- - I just have to do that...
- - Yeah.
- 672
- 00:33:17,200 --> 00:33:20,158
- They told me you're engaged to
- be married to your...
- 673
- 00:33:20,240 --> 00:33:21,496
- - ...seventh grade sweetheart?
- - Yes.
- 674
- 00:33:21,520 --> 00:33:23,078
- - Is that good? Yeah.
- - Yes, thank you.
- 675
- 00:33:23,160 --> 00:33:24,718
- I admire that.
- 676
- 00:33:25,560 --> 00:33:27,118
- Tell me something.
- 677
- 00:33:27,200 --> 00:33:30,112
- Is... What is your thinking on Sally?
- 678
- 00:33:30,200 --> 00:33:32,634
- Or, uh...
- Or Mamie, for instance?
- 679
- 00:33:32,720 --> 00:33:34,312
- Do you think
- they're straight arrows?
- 680
- 00:33:34,400 --> 00:33:35,879
- - Straight arrows?
- - Yeah.
- 681
- 00:33:35,960 --> 00:33:38,428
- Or the Apple Blossom Queen.
- Does she play around?
- 682
- 00:33:38,520 --> 00:33:39,589
- Marla Mabrey, you mean?
- 683
- 00:33:39,680 --> 00:33:42,194
- Marla Mabrey, yeah. Is she fast?
- 684
- 00:33:42,280 --> 00:33:44,271
- - Fast?
- - Fast. Promiscuous. Yeah.
- 685
- 00:33:44,440 --> 00:33:46,635
- Oh, well,
- everybody who knows her says
- 686
- 00:33:46,720 --> 00:33:48,870
- she's the most devout
- Christian they've ever met.
- 687
- 00:33:48,960 --> 00:33:51,110
- Really? And does she drink?
- 688
- 00:33:51,200 --> 00:33:53,160
- I'm told she's never had
- a drink in her life, sir.
- 689
- 00:33:53,240 --> 00:33:54,593
- - Really?
- - Yes.
- 690
- 00:33:54,720 --> 00:33:56,756
- - She go to church?
- - Not far from my own.
- 691
- 00:33:58,560 --> 00:33:59,560
- You...
- 692
- 00:33:59,680 --> 00:34:01,159
- You go to church every Sunday?
- 693
- 00:34:01,240 --> 00:34:03,708
- - Yes, Sir. Since I was 13.
- - Really?
- 694
- 00:34:03,800 --> 00:34:05,677
- You know, all these girls
- want their own cars.
- 695
- 00:34:05,760 --> 00:34:07,296
- But I'm telling you,
- if you don't drive them,
- 696
- 00:34:07,320 --> 00:34:08,594
- you can't keep an eye on them.
- 697
- 00:34:08,680 --> 00:34:10,989
- And it's just a, it's just a...
- 698
- 00:34:12,080 --> 00:34:13,479
- You gotta have
- 699
- 00:34:13,560 --> 00:34:14,879
- - their gate keys.
- - Yes.
- 700
- 00:34:14,960 --> 00:34:17,520
- The keys to their gate,
- because I'm telling you...
- 701
- 00:34:18,280 --> 00:34:20,714
- Venereal disease
- in Los Angeles County's
- 702
- 00:34:20,800 --> 00:34:22,791
- - up something like 85%.
- - Really?
- 703
- 00:34:23,160 --> 00:34:26,072
- Are you familiar with available land
- off Mulholland Drive, sir?
- 704
- 00:34:26,240 --> 00:34:29,755
- We're very impressed
- by a guy named Colton at Searle.
- 705
- 00:34:29,880 --> 00:34:32,314
- And he seems to have come up
- with something for the ladies
- 706
- 00:34:32,400 --> 00:34:34,231
- called a birth control pill.
- 707
- 00:34:34,320 --> 00:34:35,992
- - Birth control?
- - Birth control pill.
- 708
- 00:34:36,080 --> 00:34:39,072
- It's a contraceptive. It's Enovid.
- 709
- 00:34:39,160 --> 00:34:42,516
- If you're smart,
- you'll buy yourself some Searle stock.
- 710
- 00:34:42,720 --> 00:34:44,278
- Mmm. Thank you for that tip, sir.
- 711
- 00:34:44,360 --> 00:34:45,759
- You know, Hoffmann-La Roche
- 712
- 00:34:45,840 --> 00:34:47,637
- just got a new drug
- through the FDA.
- 713
- 00:34:47,720 --> 00:34:49,915
- It's an antidepressant.
- They're calling it Librium.
- 714
- 00:34:50,200 --> 00:34:51,200
- The company's Swiss,
- 715
- 00:34:51,280 --> 00:34:52,576
- but they've got an American division
- 716
- 00:34:52,600 --> 00:34:55,160
- with a CEO by the name
- of Bob Clark. He's part Irish.
- 717
- 00:34:55,280 --> 00:34:57,316
- So instead of Smith Kline,
- 718
- 00:34:57,400 --> 00:34:59,356
- or Merck, or Upjohn,
- or Pfizer, or even Searle,
- 719
- 00:34:59,440 --> 00:35:01,749
- you might wanna take a look
- at Hoffmann-La Roche.
- 720
- 00:35:01,840 --> 00:35:03,398
- Might be a heck of a stock.
- 721
- 00:35:06,200 --> 00:35:07,519
- Uh-huh.
- 722
- 00:35:10,640 --> 00:35:11,868
- A-ha!
- 723
- 00:35:12,000 --> 00:35:14,116
- Oh, that's nice.
- 724
- 00:35:14,280 --> 00:35:15,554
- Yeah.
- 725
- 00:35:19,160 --> 00:35:20,160
- Hmm.
- 726
- 00:35:22,400 --> 00:35:23,496
- "For food and all Thy gifts of love,
- 727
- 00:35:23,520 --> 00:35:24,800
- "we give Thee thanks and praise.
- 728
- 00:35:24,840 --> 00:35:26,216
- "Look down, Oh Jesus, from up above
- 729
- 00:35:26,240 --> 00:35:27,912
- "and bless us all our days. Amen."
- 730
- 00:35:33,960 --> 00:35:36,428
- Okay, now, what did you wanna
- 731
- 00:35:36,520 --> 00:35:38,829
- - Oh!
- - sell me on Mulholland Drive?
- 732
- 00:35:40,720 --> 00:35:41,720
- It looks to me, sir,
- 733
- 00:35:41,800 --> 00:35:43,597
- that this might be, excuse me,
- 734
- 00:35:45,160 --> 00:35:47,628
- the right time to buy
- a very unique piece of land.
- 735
- 00:35:47,960 --> 00:35:50,394
- It's 117 acres. It's got everything.
- 736
- 00:35:51,000 --> 00:35:52,797
- It's located right above Mulholland...
- 737
- 00:35:52,920 --> 00:35:54,399
- Do you like to fly?
- 738
- 00:35:54,480 --> 00:35:55,959
- - Fly?
- - Fly.
- 739
- 00:35:56,040 --> 00:35:57,632
- Um, no, sir.
- 740
- 00:35:57,720 --> 00:35:59,836
- - No?
- - No.
- 741
- 00:36:00,200 --> 00:36:01,315
- Why?
- 742
- 00:36:01,760 --> 00:36:03,637
- Uh, I never have.
- 743
- 00:36:03,720 --> 00:36:05,153
- You never have what?
- 744
- 00:36:06,600 --> 00:36:08,158
- Flown in a plane.
- 745
- 00:36:08,320 --> 00:36:10,151
- You've never flown in a plane?
- 746
- 00:36:10,240 --> 00:36:11,355
- No.
- 747
- 00:36:14,520 --> 00:36:15,748
- Oh.
- 748
- 00:36:17,400 --> 00:36:18,753
- No, no, no, sir.
- 749
- 00:36:18,840 --> 00:36:20,876
- Sir, this one's on Frank Forbes.
- 750
- 00:36:22,120 --> 00:36:23,712
- Who's Frank Forbes?
- 751
- 00:36:28,080 --> 00:36:29,336
- I got you! I got you on that one!
- 752
- 00:36:29,360 --> 00:36:30,536
- You got me with that one, sir. Yes.
- 753
- 00:36:30,560 --> 00:36:31,993
- No, I know you, Frank.
- 754
- 00:36:32,080 --> 00:36:33,832
- I know all about you. You know that?
- 755
- 00:36:33,960 --> 00:36:35,598
- - I know all about you.
- - Really?
- 756
- 00:36:37,040 --> 00:36:39,110
- - This thing, you know...
- - Mm-hmm.
- 757
- 00:36:39,680 --> 00:36:42,877
- About two and a half months,
- maybe three months
- 758
- 00:36:43,120 --> 00:36:44,189
- gonna be ready to test.
- 759
- 00:36:44,280 --> 00:36:46,475
- But tomorrow
- we're testing a little plane.
- 760
- 00:36:46,600 --> 00:36:47,600
- Oh, really?
- 761
- 00:36:47,680 --> 00:36:49,238
- And I want you there with me.
- 762
- 00:36:49,320 --> 00:36:50,594
- - Okay?
- - Yes, sir.
- 763
- 00:36:50,680 --> 00:36:52,272
- - You understand?
- - Yes, sir.
- 764
- 00:36:52,360 --> 00:36:54,112
- - You get it?
- - Yes, sir.
- 765
- 00:36:54,200 --> 00:36:56,111
- Okay. Good.
- 766
- 00:36:56,200 --> 00:36:58,236
- You know, sometimes
- I just like to come out here
- 767
- 00:36:58,360 --> 00:37:02,512
- and just sit, have a burger,
- and just talk to my plane.
- 768
- 00:37:04,240 --> 00:37:05,389
- Hi, plane.
- 769
- 00:37:05,720 --> 00:37:07,551
- Say hello to my plane,
- will you?
- 770
- 00:37:08,280 --> 00:37:09,280
- Hi, plane.
- 771
- 00:37:09,440 --> 00:37:10,873
- Plane, this is Frank.
- 772
- 00:37:10,960 --> 00:37:12,473
- And tomorrow,
- we got the little plane.
- 773
- 00:37:28,480 --> 00:37:30,630
- Mr. Hughes,
- you continue this flight
- 774
- 00:37:30,720 --> 00:37:32,960
- at the risk of endangering
- a plane that has been paid for
- 775
- 00:37:33,000 --> 00:37:35,036
- by the government
- of the United States.
- 776
- 00:37:35,120 --> 00:37:37,953
- I am trying to land
- the goddamn thing!
- 777
- 00:37:39,280 --> 00:37:42,078
- Mr. Hughes,
- get on your safety frequency.
- 778
- 00:37:44,120 --> 00:37:45,269
- Come in, please.
- 779
- 00:37:45,360 --> 00:37:46,936
- No safety frequency.
- 780
- 00:37:51,760 --> 00:37:52,795
- Do I...
- 781
- 00:37:52,880 --> 00:37:54,279
- A little surprise, huh?
- 782
- 00:37:54,560 --> 00:37:55,595
- It works. Yeah.
- 783
- 00:38:00,480 --> 00:38:02,596
- I feel this. Do you like it?
- 784
- 00:38:02,680 --> 00:38:03,680
- Yes, sir.
- 785
- 00:38:05,120 --> 00:38:06,314
- Don't touch that codeine.
- 786
- 00:38:19,880 --> 00:38:21,976
- - If you can get pushing...
- - Don't tell me what to push!
- 787
- 00:38:22,000 --> 00:38:23,319
- I invented the goddamn thing!
- 788
- 00:38:25,120 --> 00:38:26,758
- Time for your enema, sir.
- 789
- 00:38:26,840 --> 00:38:29,912
- Give the goddamn enema bag
- to Mr. Forbes, please.
- 790
- 00:38:30,400 --> 00:38:31,400
- Yes.
- 791
- 00:38:31,880 --> 00:38:33,438
- Mr. Forbes. The enema bag.
- 792
- 00:38:34,160 --> 00:38:36,441
- You're the only person I trust
- with that thing now, Frank.
- 793
- 00:38:36,480 --> 00:38:38,232
- I tell you, this dope stops you up.
- 794
- 00:38:38,320 --> 00:38:39,514
- It stops you up.
- 795
- 00:38:41,120 --> 00:38:42,997
- Buying you some of
- that birth control stock.
- 796
- 00:38:43,080 --> 00:38:45,071
- It's gonna go through
- the goddamn roof.
- 797
- 00:38:45,160 --> 00:38:46,388
- Frank, you know how old I was
- 798
- 00:38:46,480 --> 00:38:49,677
- when I inherited the
- Hughes Tool Company from my daddy?
- 799
- 00:38:51,000 --> 00:38:52,194
- Younger than you.
- 800
- 00:38:52,280 --> 00:38:53,599
- Mr. Hughes, I don't know
- 801
- 00:38:53,680 --> 00:38:54,920
- that I'm really qualified to...
- 802
- 00:38:54,960 --> 00:38:56,916
- Oh, that's gonna be
- a bad scar.
- 803
- 00:38:57,720 --> 00:38:58,869
- What do I...
- 804
- 00:39:00,240 --> 00:39:01,753
- What do I do with that?
- 805
- 00:39:04,120 --> 00:39:06,031
- I'll check on it, Mr. Forbes.
- 806
- 00:39:09,960 --> 00:39:12,235
- Lana Turner's roses
- are better than mine.
- 807
- 00:39:13,000 --> 00:39:14,433
- But look at these!
- 808
- 00:39:14,600 --> 00:39:15,874
- Daisies.
- 809
- 00:39:16,360 --> 00:39:18,430
- So unexpected.
- 810
- 00:39:19,080 --> 00:39:20,752
- Jean Peters is smart.
- 811
- 00:39:21,240 --> 00:39:23,390
- Mr. Forbes, Nadine is on the phone.
- 812
- 00:39:24,240 --> 00:39:26,356
- Where I come from,
- daisies are cheap.
- 813
- 00:39:27,800 --> 00:39:28,994
- - Yeah?
- - Frank, it's about...
- 814
- 00:39:29,080 --> 00:39:30,274
- Yes, hello, Nadine.
- 815
- 00:39:30,360 --> 00:39:31,640
- I've been on duty
- at the hospital
- 816
- 00:39:31,720 --> 00:39:32,948
- a hundred percent of my time.
- 817
- 00:39:33,040 --> 00:39:34,256
- It's a little difficult
- for me to count
- 818
- 00:39:34,280 --> 00:39:35,640
- how many gallons of gas
- that I used
- 819
- 00:39:35,720 --> 00:39:37,080
- before Mr. Hughes
- had his accident.
- 820
- 00:39:39,680 --> 00:39:40,874
- Thank you.
- 821
- 00:39:44,360 --> 00:39:45,360
- You've moved up.
- 822
- 00:39:45,440 --> 00:39:46,509
- Mr. Forbes.
- 823
- 00:39:47,720 --> 00:39:48,994
- It's been a while.
- 824
- 00:39:49,680 --> 00:39:50,715
- They need you.
- 825
- 00:39:51,400 --> 00:39:52,628
- Okay. Uh...
- 826
- 00:39:53,040 --> 00:39:55,315
- Bobby Darin's
- not sending you daisies?
- 827
- 00:40:04,000 --> 00:40:05,399
- Okay, fine. I get it.
- 828
- 00:40:05,480 --> 00:40:07,118
- I have to still
- sit in the back seat.
- 829
- 00:40:07,200 --> 00:40:08,320
- But if we're going to lunch,
- 830
- 00:40:08,360 --> 00:40:09,680
- do we eat at the same table,
- or...
- 831
- 00:40:09,760 --> 00:40:12,672
- No. I'm eating in the kitchen,
- of course.
- 832
- 00:40:12,800 --> 00:40:14,631
- I think, you know what?
- 833
- 00:40:14,720 --> 00:40:17,154
- Why don't you just drive?
- I should sit in the back seat.
- 834
- 00:40:17,240 --> 00:40:18,753
- I don't know why I'm,
- you know...
- 835
- 00:40:19,240 --> 00:40:22,118
- I guess nobody can say
- we don't follow the rules.
- 836
- 00:40:23,560 --> 00:40:24,896
- "For food
- and all Thy gifts of love,
- 837
- 00:40:24,920 --> 00:40:26,194
- "we give Thee thanks
- and praise.
- 838
- 00:40:26,280 --> 00:40:27,633
- "Look down, Oh Jesus,
- 839
- 00:40:27,720 --> 00:40:29,597
- "from above and bless us all
- our days. Amen."
- 840
- 00:40:29,680 --> 00:40:31,750
- Amen. I can't believe it.
- 841
- 00:40:31,840 --> 00:40:32,936
- He's finally out of the hospital,
- 842
- 00:40:32,960 --> 00:40:34,439
- and right away
- you fly to Washington?
- 843
- 00:40:34,520 --> 00:40:35,999
- You're gonna miss my screen test.
- 844
- 00:40:36,680 --> 00:40:38,318
- I heard Eisenhower sent him
- a telegram.
- 845
- 00:40:38,400 --> 00:40:39,576
- If Eisenhower
- was really smart,
- 846
- 00:40:39,600 --> 00:40:42,114
- he'd have Howard Hughes
- just bomb Moscow,
- 847
- 00:40:42,200 --> 00:40:43,576
- and have communism over
- and done with.
- 848
- 00:40:43,600 --> 00:40:45,716
- I think Howard Hughes
- should be president.
- 849
- 00:40:45,800 --> 00:40:47,640
- There's nobody like him.
- He's on another level.
- 850
- 00:40:47,680 --> 00:40:48,680
- Seriously, the poor man,
- 851
- 00:40:48,800 --> 00:40:50,136
- he's gotta deal with these
- TWA stockholders
- 852
- 00:40:50,160 --> 00:40:52,176
- who are crabbing about moving
- from propellers to jets.
- 853
- 00:40:52,200 --> 00:40:53,394
- At the same time,
- 854
- 00:40:53,480 --> 00:40:55,016
- he now has to convince
- the United States Senate
- 855
- 00:40:55,040 --> 00:40:56,439
- that the Hercules can fly.
- 856
- 00:40:56,760 --> 00:40:58,120
- So you're gonna fly to Washington?
- 857
- 00:40:58,160 --> 00:41:00,549
- I will not be flying.
- Thank you for asking. I will be taking
- 858
- 00:41:00,640 --> 00:41:01,696
- the train early in the morning.
- 859
- 00:41:01,720 --> 00:41:03,278
- When does Sarah move to LA?
- 860
- 00:41:05,040 --> 00:41:07,190
- Um, well, I...
- 861
- 00:41:08,440 --> 00:41:11,193
- Don't know if Sarah and I are...
- 862
- 00:41:17,120 --> 00:41:21,159
- She still believes that
- once you've been intimate
- 863
- 00:41:21,240 --> 00:41:22,719
- or gone all the way
- with a person,
- 864
- 00:41:22,800 --> 00:41:24,791
- that in the eyes of God
- 865
- 00:41:24,880 --> 00:41:26,632
- you're committed to that person
- 866
- 00:41:26,720 --> 00:41:28,233
- for the rest of your life.
- 867
- 00:41:29,400 --> 00:41:31,675
- So she believes
- since you and she have...
- 868
- 00:41:34,040 --> 00:41:36,315
- ...gone all the way,
- that you're already married?
- 869
- 00:41:38,480 --> 00:41:39,674
- I agree with Sarah.
- 870
- 00:41:40,360 --> 00:41:41,873
- That's why I've never done it.
- 871
- 00:41:42,040 --> 00:41:44,713
- That's why I'm waiting,
- because I have to be sure.
- 872
- 00:41:46,080 --> 00:41:47,752
- Well that's, I mean,
- that's a little...
- 873
- 00:41:47,840 --> 00:41:49,592
- I'm not legally married.
- 874
- 00:41:58,520 --> 00:42:00,750
- Senator,
- I have come here to testify
- 875
- 00:42:00,840 --> 00:42:02,592
- of my own free will.
- 876
- 00:42:02,680 --> 00:42:06,309
- Senator, I have come here to
- testify of my own free will.
- 877
- 00:42:06,400 --> 00:42:07,833
- Wait. Senator,
- 878
- 00:42:07,960 --> 00:42:11,475
- I have come here to testify
- of my own free will.
- 879
- 00:42:12,600 --> 00:42:16,832
- Senator, I have come here to
- testify of my own free will.
- 880
- 00:42:27,000 --> 00:42:29,639
- Any word on
- the possibility of me...
- 881
- 00:42:31,040 --> 00:42:32,473
- ...getting a ticker tape parade?
- 882
- 00:42:36,000 --> 00:42:39,197
- They don't have ticker tape
- parades in Washington, Howard.
- 883
- 00:42:39,480 --> 00:42:41,835
- There are no skyscrapers here.
- 884
- 00:42:47,200 --> 00:42:49,316
- Do you think I don't know
- what you're planning?
- 885
- 00:42:49,400 --> 00:42:50,400
- What I'm planning?
- 886
- 00:42:50,480 --> 00:42:52,675
- What you're planning.
- You think I'm nuts, right?
- 887
- 00:42:53,040 --> 00:42:54,040
- You think I'm nuts.
- 888
- 00:42:54,120 --> 00:42:55,599
- Howard, all I said was,
- 889
- 00:42:55,680 --> 00:42:57,432
- I think you should see someone.
- 890
- 00:42:57,520 --> 00:42:59,078
- "See someone?"
- 891
- 00:42:59,160 --> 00:43:01,230
- I really think you need help, kid.
- 892
- 00:43:01,320 --> 00:43:02,992
- See someone?
- 893
- 00:43:03,080 --> 00:43:04,559
- What are you talking about?
- 894
- 00:43:04,640 --> 00:43:06,756
- Do you realize
- that I'm trying to move
- 895
- 00:43:06,840 --> 00:43:09,274
- an entire airline
- from propellers to jets?
- 896
- 00:43:09,360 --> 00:43:11,032
- And the stockholders could hear
- 897
- 00:43:11,120 --> 00:43:13,759
- that I am sitting in a loony bin
- 898
- 00:43:13,840 --> 00:43:15,910
- locked up with some psychiatrist
- 899
- 00:43:16,000 --> 00:43:17,911
- who can declare me
- to be incompetent
- 900
- 00:43:18,000 --> 00:43:20,468
- and then I have to give
- the whole goddamn business
- 901
- 00:43:20,560 --> 00:43:23,154
- over to some
- goddamn conservator?
- 902
- 00:43:23,440 --> 00:43:24,668
- You do realize that?
- 903
- 00:43:29,360 --> 00:43:31,396
- I'll be in my room, Howard.
- 904
- 00:43:35,840 --> 00:43:37,319
- What are you looking at?
- 905
- 00:43:38,840 --> 00:43:40,398
- You got any ideas?
- Speak up.
- 906
- 00:43:40,480 --> 00:43:42,376
- I think you represent
- to the majority of this committee,
- 907
- 00:43:42,400 --> 00:43:45,710
- what is great about capitalism
- as opposed to communism.
- 908
- 00:43:45,800 --> 00:43:47,518
- I think these people
- are scared of you,
- 909
- 00:43:47,600 --> 00:43:48,953
- and I think they wanna be you.
- 910
- 00:43:49,040 --> 00:43:50,496
- I don't think
- you have to practice
- 911
- 00:43:50,520 --> 00:43:51,736
- what you're gonna
- say like this.
- 912
- 00:43:51,760 --> 00:43:52,988
- I think you can go in there,
- 913
- 00:43:53,080 --> 00:43:54,149
- and try not even knowing
- 914
- 00:43:54,240 --> 00:43:55,736
- what you're gonna say
- until you say it.
- 915
- 00:43:55,760 --> 00:43:58,957
- And you're not, in my opinion,
- gonna say the wrong thing.
- 916
- 00:44:00,080 --> 00:44:01,195
- Huh.
- 917
- 00:44:04,520 --> 00:44:05,714
- You know...
- 918
- 00:44:06,840 --> 00:44:09,673
- You know how old I was
- when I took over my daddy's company?
- 919
- 00:44:10,520 --> 00:44:11,839
- I was younger than you.
- 920
- 00:44:12,960 --> 00:44:14,154
- Did I tell you that?
- 921
- 00:44:14,240 --> 00:44:15,673
- Roll film.
- 922
- 00:44:22,280 --> 00:44:23,713
- Okay. Darling, relax.
- 923
- 00:44:24,080 --> 00:44:25,513
- Tell us a little about yourself.
- 924
- 00:44:26,720 --> 00:44:29,951
- Okay. I'm from
- Front Royal, Virginia.
- 925
- 00:44:30,320 --> 00:44:33,357
- I've always been interested
- in speech and dramatics.
- 926
- 00:44:33,760 --> 00:44:35,512
- - I write songs.
- - Turn to your left.
- 927
- 00:44:36,920 --> 00:44:38,638
- Can you raise
- your chin up a little?
- 928
- 00:44:38,720 --> 00:44:40,551
- Great.
- Keep talking.
- 929
- 00:44:40,920 --> 00:44:43,354
- I was going to go
- to Mary Washington College,
- 930
- 00:44:43,440 --> 00:44:45,590
- where I intended
- to major in English.
- 931
- 00:44:45,680 --> 00:44:47,113
- Okay, can you turn
- to your right?
- 932
- 00:44:47,200 --> 00:44:50,033
- But keep talking, and chin up.
- Major in English, go on.
- 933
- 00:44:50,120 --> 00:44:51,269
- Um...
- 934
- 00:44:51,360 --> 00:44:54,272
- But I decided
- when I won a talent contest
- 935
- 00:44:54,360 --> 00:44:56,112
- that maybe I'd give it a go
- in Hollywood.
- 936
- 00:44:56,200 --> 00:44:57,758
- Okay, can you turn
- to your right?
- 937
- 00:44:58,600 --> 00:45:01,672
- Great, great, great. Okay.
- 938
- 00:45:01,800 --> 00:45:03,153
- Do you sing?
- 939
- 00:45:04,560 --> 00:45:06,232
- Well, sort of.
- 940
- 00:45:07,320 --> 00:45:08,514
- Should I keep talking?
- 941
- 00:45:08,640 --> 00:45:09,914
- Okay, turn to your left.
- 942
- 00:45:10,640 --> 00:45:11,993
- Do you swim?
- 943
- 00:45:12,080 --> 00:45:13,115
- Sure!
- 944
- 00:45:13,200 --> 00:45:15,191
- Wardrobe,
- do we have any bathing suits?
- 945
- 00:45:17,440 --> 00:45:20,079
- If you ever wanted
- to slip out for a bite or something,
- 946
- 00:45:20,160 --> 00:45:22,594
- I think we could do
- that under the radar.
- 947
- 00:45:24,480 --> 00:45:25,576
- Mr. Hughes,
- 948
- 00:45:25,600 --> 00:45:28,160
- the American people
- wanna know if someone
- 949
- 00:45:28,240 --> 00:45:31,038
- is making a profit
- on a plane that can't fly!
- 950
- 00:45:31,120 --> 00:45:32,348
- Senator...
- 951
- 00:45:32,440 --> 00:45:36,558
- I have come here to testify
- of my own free will.
- 952
- 00:45:44,440 --> 00:45:46,112
- Nobody's making any profit.
- 953
- 00:45:46,680 --> 00:45:49,399
- This plane will be used
- for testing and research
- 954
- 00:45:49,480 --> 00:45:52,836
- and advancing the art of
- aviation in this country.
- 955
- 00:45:52,920 --> 00:45:54,876
- In a few more days, it'll fly.
- 956
- 00:45:54,960 --> 00:45:57,076
- I have stated that
- if it were to be a failure,
- 957
- 00:45:57,160 --> 00:45:59,435
- I would leave this country
- and never come back.
- 958
- 00:45:59,520 --> 00:46:00,520
- And I mean it!
- 959
- 00:46:00,600 --> 00:46:02,158
- It'll fly, Senator.
- 960
- 00:46:02,280 --> 00:46:03,395
- It'll fly.
- 961
- 00:46:03,480 --> 00:46:05,755
- Howard Hughes's
- giant plane has flown.
- 962
- 00:46:05,840 --> 00:46:08,798
- And at the controls, the successful
- designer, builder, owner,
- 963
- 00:46:08,880 --> 00:46:11,314
- airspeed record holder,
- multimillionaire himself,
- 964
- 00:46:11,400 --> 00:46:12,435
- Howard Hughes.
- 965
- 00:46:12,520 --> 00:46:14,750
- Bravo!
- 966
- 00:46:15,840 --> 00:46:18,035
- Billionaire, goddamn it,
- not millionaire.
- 967
- 00:46:18,280 --> 00:46:20,056
- And what the hell happened
- to the close-up of me
- 968
- 00:46:20,080 --> 00:46:21,115
- in the cockpit? You know,
- 969
- 00:46:21,200 --> 00:46:22,792
- the plane flew
- for one mile,
- 970
- 00:46:22,880 --> 00:46:24,871
- and nobody knows
- if it'll ever fly again.
- 971
- 00:46:24,960 --> 00:46:28,111
- And they know what it cost.
- That does me no good
- 972
- 00:46:28,200 --> 00:46:30,031
- at TWA. All right,
- thank you, gentlemen.
- 973
- 00:46:30,120 --> 00:46:32,076
- Thank you very much. Greg?
- 974
- 00:46:32,680 --> 00:46:33,840
- Yes, Howard?
- 975
- 00:46:34,680 --> 00:46:35,749
- Howard?
- 976
- 00:46:36,600 --> 00:46:37,635
- Howard?
- 977
- 00:46:38,600 --> 00:46:40,176
- I gotta know
- what legal steps I gotta take
- 978
- 00:46:40,200 --> 00:46:42,760
- to keep these people
- from sticking me with a psychiatrist,
- 979
- 00:46:42,840 --> 00:46:45,035
- and then committing me
- to an insane asylum...
- 980
- 00:46:45,120 --> 00:46:46,678
- Then declaring me
- to be incompetent,
- 981
- 00:46:46,760 --> 00:46:49,672
- and then turning over
- my entire business to a conservator.
- 982
- 00:46:49,760 --> 00:46:51,716
- You gotta tell me
- what I have to do...
- 983
- 00:46:51,800 --> 00:46:53,916
- To legally keep them
- from doing that, okay?
- 984
- 00:46:54,040 --> 00:46:55,439
- Call me back.
- 985
- 00:47:00,720 --> 00:47:02,278
- Hello?
- 986
- 00:47:02,360 --> 00:47:04,476
- Hello, ma'am.
- 987
- 00:47:04,560 --> 00:47:05,675
- I was informed that
- 988
- 00:47:05,800 --> 00:47:07,836
- your television antenna
- was defective.
- 989
- 00:47:07,920 --> 00:47:09,831
- I brought over
- the newest model.
- 990
- 00:47:09,920 --> 00:47:13,071
- And I was wondering
- if you would...
- 991
- 00:47:16,360 --> 00:47:18,999
- I just saw your screen test.
- You were great.
- 992
- 00:47:21,280 --> 00:47:22,633
- It was great!
- 993
- 00:47:23,000 --> 00:47:24,228
- Really?
- 994
- 00:47:25,920 --> 00:47:28,878
- Well...
- I thought it was pretty awful!
- 995
- 00:47:28,960 --> 00:47:30,234
- You were great.
- 996
- 00:47:31,680 --> 00:47:33,750
- They just wanted to see me
- in a bathing suit!
- 997
- 00:47:34,840 --> 00:47:35,955
- I didn't do it.
- 998
- 00:47:38,840 --> 00:47:40,831
- But they didn't say anything
- when it was over.
- 999
- 00:47:40,960 --> 00:47:42,188
- You've got something
- these guys
- 1000
- 00:47:42,280 --> 00:47:43,952
- don't even know about yet.
- 1001
- 00:47:44,040 --> 00:47:45,600
- I mean, wait till
- Howard Hughes sees it.
- 1002
- 00:47:50,600 --> 00:47:54,229
- I have two more of these
- in the car, just in case.
- 1003
- 00:48:01,840 --> 00:48:02,955
- Daisies.
- 1004
- 00:48:05,760 --> 00:48:08,149
- And not from Jean Peters?
- 1005
- 00:48:08,280 --> 00:48:10,160
- Well, they could be.
- They could be from anybody.
- 1006
- 00:48:10,240 --> 00:48:13,038
- They just, according to the rules,
- can't be from me.
- 1007
- 00:48:17,680 --> 00:48:20,638

- - What?
- - He's driving me to class.
- 1035
- 00:51:03,560 --> 00:51:04,629
- This is my fault.
- 1036
- 00:51:04,720 --> 00:51:05,856
- This is all my fault.
- This is my fault.
- 1037
- 00:51:05,880 --> 00:51:06,976
- No, no.
- This is not your fault.
- 1038
- 00:51:07,000 --> 00:51:08,831
- This is all my fault.
- This is my fault.
- 1039
- 00:51:08,960 --> 00:51:10,791
- And it's fine.
- Let's face it, it's fine.
- 1040
- 00:51:10,920 --> 00:51:11,920
- I sang you the song.
- 1041
- 00:51:12,000 --> 00:51:13,096
- This is my fault.
- 1042
- 00:51:13,120 --> 00:51:14,120
- This is all my fault.
- 1043
- 00:51:14,920 --> 00:51:17,195
- There's a broom and a dustpan
- in there, okay?
- 1044
- 00:51:18,480 --> 00:51:20,710
- Wait, tell Levar
- I brought the antenna. Okay.
- 1045
- 00:51:26,040 --> 00:51:27,040
- Hi, come on in.
- 1046
- 00:51:27,120 --> 00:51:28,155
- Hi.
- 1047
- 00:51:33,080 --> 00:51:34,616
- Oh, Frank and I were trying
- to make space
- 1048
- 00:51:34,640 --> 00:51:36,835
- - for the TV and...
- - Wow.
- 1049
- 00:51:36,920 --> 00:51:38,433
- - Let me help you with that.
- - Thanks!
- 1050
- 00:51:38,520 --> 00:51:40,192
- Sure.
- 1051
- 00:51:40,280 --> 00:51:42,635
- Wait. What, what time is it?
- We're gonna be late for class.
- 1052
- 00:51:42,720 --> 00:51:44,790
- Oh, no,
- you're not going to class.
- 1053
- 00:51:44,880 --> 00:51:46,518
- Mr. Hughes wants to see you.
- 1054
- 00:51:46,600 --> 00:51:47,600
- Now?
- 1055
- 00:51:47,680 --> 00:51:49,352
- Yeah, yeah,
- I thought they called you.
- 1056
- 00:51:52,000 --> 00:51:53,558
- I'm supposed
- to take you over there.
- 1057
- 00:51:56,560 --> 00:51:57,788
- Hey, Levar.
- 1058
- 00:51:57,880 --> 00:51:58,880
- Hi, Frank.
- 1059
- 00:51:58,960 --> 00:52:01,315
- They sent me over
- with the new antenna.
- 1060
- 00:52:01,400 --> 00:52:02,469
- It didn't work though.
- 1061
- 00:52:02,560 --> 00:52:04,073
- We were trying to move the TV.
- 1062
- 00:52:04,160 --> 00:52:05,576
- - I'll do that. I'll do it.
- - No, no, no.
- 1063
- 00:52:05,600 --> 00:52:07,296
- I'll do that, I'll do that.
- Yeah, be careful of your feet.
- 1064
- 00:52:07,320 --> 00:52:08,816
- I'll get the other
- antennas from the car.
- 1065
- 00:52:08,840 --> 00:52:11,520
- No! I'll do that! Because I know
- that you're late. So I'll get them.
- 1066
- 00:52:11,760 --> 00:52:12,795
- Boy.
- 1067
- 00:52:12,880 --> 00:52:14,108
- I'm, uh...
- 1068
- 00:52:14,880 --> 00:52:16,359
- I'm gonna get some towels.
- 1069
- 00:52:16,840 --> 00:52:18,990
- I just don't know how this
- stands with the church.
- 1070
- 00:52:19,080 --> 00:52:20,336
- I'm sorry.
- I'm gonna go to Fresno.
- 1071
- 00:52:20,360 --> 00:52:22,080
- - I'm gonna talk to Sarah.
- - You're married!
- 1072
- 00:52:22,120 --> 00:52:23,189
- You're a married man!
- 1073
- 00:52:23,280 --> 00:52:24,776
- - I'm gonna be honest with her.
- - I know that!
- 1074
- 00:52:24,800 --> 00:52:25,896
- - I have been with her since...
- - You're right.
- 1075
- 00:52:25,920 --> 00:52:27,136
- ...we were in
- the seventh grade together.
- 1076
- 00:52:27,160 --> 00:52:28,576
- What's been happening with us
- is not your fault.
- 1077
- 00:52:28,600 --> 00:52:29,776
- But I've behaved
- like a cheap floozy.
- 1078
- 00:52:29,800 --> 00:52:31,096
- You're not hearing
- what I'm saying.
- 1079
- 00:52:31,120 --> 00:52:32,216
- I'm not some disgusting
- tease of a virgin...
- 1080
- 00:52:32,240 --> 00:52:33,416
- - You've done nothing wrong!
- - ...trying to steal
- 1081
- 00:52:33,440 --> 00:52:34,656
- another woman's husband.
- Are you listening to me?
- 1082
- 00:52:34,680 --> 00:52:35,590
- You're not listening
- to what I'm saying.
- 1083
- 00:52:35,680 --> 00:52:36,736
- I am not trying to steal
- another woman's husband.
- 1084
- 00:52:36,760 --> 00:52:37,936
- - You've done nothing wrong.
- - You're not an adulterer.
- 1085
- 00:52:37,960 --> 00:52:38,995
- You're married, Frank.
- 1086
- 00:52:39,080 --> 00:52:40,433
- - You're not...
- - You're...
- 1087
- 00:52:40,520 --> 00:52:41,555
- Need help?
- 1088
- 00:52:41,640 --> 00:52:44,359
- No, thanks, Levar. I'm just gonna
- change my clothes. Thanks, Frank.
- 1089
- 00:52:47,440 --> 00:52:48,634
- See you later.
- 1090
- 00:52:50,800 --> 00:52:53,268
- I hired you as my double
- because you look exactly like me.
- 1091
- 00:52:53,360 --> 00:52:55,191
- The shoes are all wrong.
- Now, get out of here.
- 1092
- 00:52:56,400 --> 00:52:58,436
- They'll be more
- exacting next time, sir.
- 1093
- 00:52:59,480 --> 00:53:01,311
- Okay. That, that
- you cannot legally
- 1094
- 00:53:01,400 --> 00:53:03,755
- commit a person
- to an insane asylum
- 1095
- 00:53:03,840 --> 00:53:06,718
- if they are married and their spouse
- refuses to commit to it?
- 1096
- 00:53:06,800 --> 00:53:08,279
- - Yes, sir.
- - Uh-huh.
- 1097
- 00:53:08,360 --> 00:53:10,430
- Well, what if there is no spouse?
- 1098
- 00:53:11,480 --> 00:53:14,358
- Greg, I got 30,000 people
- working for me
- 1099
- 00:53:14,440 --> 00:53:17,398
- on weapons the Pentagon
- would trust nobody else to do,
- 1100
- 00:53:17,480 --> 00:53:19,072
- and you're telling me go out
- 1101
- 00:53:19,160 --> 00:53:21,071
- and get a wife to stay out
- of the loony bin?
- 1102
- 00:53:21,160 --> 00:53:23,196
- After your meeting,
- what would you think about
- 1103
- 00:53:23,280 --> 00:53:26,397
- sneaking out
- some place totally private?
- 1104
- 00:53:26,480 --> 00:53:29,278
- Yes, ring
- Mr. Brian Forester, please.
- 1105
- 00:53:33,920 --> 00:53:35,114
- Brian Forester.
- 1106
- 00:53:35,200 --> 00:53:36,315
- This is Howard Hughes.
- 1107
- 00:53:36,440 --> 00:53:37,509
- Hello, Mr. Hughes.
- 1108
- 00:53:37,600 --> 00:53:41,798
- We've traveled a long way, sir,
- to discuss TWA. We were just hoping
- 1109
- 00:53:41,880 --> 00:53:44,269
- we could skip over
- and say a quick hello.
- 1110
- 00:53:44,360 --> 00:53:46,237
- We're in the same hotel,
- after all.
- 1111
- 00:53:46,320 --> 00:53:47,958
- You could just be
- a few feet away!
- 1112
- 00:53:48,040 --> 00:53:49,678
- I'm terribly sorry,
- Mr. Forester.
- 1113
- 00:53:49,760 --> 00:53:51,034
- I will talk to you later.
- 1114
- 00:53:53,400 --> 00:53:55,516
- Hi. Want some ice cream?
- 1115
- 00:53:55,600 --> 00:53:57,113
- No, thank you.
- 1116
- 00:54:14,080 --> 00:54:15,877
- Bit on top.
- Yes, yes. That's good.
- 1117
- 00:54:16,720 --> 00:54:19,473
- - The young lady is here, Mr. Hughes.
- - Oh.
- 1118
- 00:54:19,560 --> 00:54:21,710
- Also, Mr. Forester,
- the Merrill Lynch man,
- 1119
- 00:54:21,800 --> 00:54:23,074
- - called again.
- - Uh-huh.
- 1120
- 00:54:23,160 --> 00:54:25,151
- They're in bungalow 8-A.
- 1121
- 00:54:25,280 --> 00:54:26,918
- They wanna know
- which bungalow you're in.
- 1122
- 00:54:27,000 --> 00:54:28,000
- Uh-huh.
- 1123
- 00:54:28,080 --> 00:54:29,149
- They wanna see you.
- 1124
- 00:54:29,280 --> 00:54:32,113
- There's no need for anyone
- to know what bungalow I'm in.
- 1125
- 00:54:42,240 --> 00:54:43,912
- Yeah, just give me...
- Yeah, yeah, yeah...
- 1126
- 00:54:44,000 --> 00:54:47,709
- Good, good, good. Okay.
- And, you can take...
- 1127
- 00:54:49,120 --> 00:54:50,120
- Be careful.
- 1128
- 00:54:50,680 --> 00:54:52,272
- Yeah, because...
- 1129
- 00:54:52,360 --> 00:54:53,475
- You, uh...
- 1130
- 00:54:53,600 --> 00:54:55,079
- Uh-huh.
- 1131
- 00:54:55,760 --> 00:54:57,159
- Yeah, yeah. That's good.
- 1132
- 00:55:18,840 --> 00:55:20,990
- And a little bit more over.
- That's good.
- 1133
- 00:55:21,080 --> 00:55:22,149
- Hey. Hey.
- 1134
- 00:55:22,240 --> 00:55:24,470
- Argh! Get that person
- outta here!
- 1135
- 00:55:29,040 --> 00:55:31,031
- Let's find your mommy
- and daddy.
- 1136
- 00:55:31,120 --> 00:55:32,456
- So are we finished
- with this haircut or not?
- 1137
- 00:55:32,480 --> 00:55:34,869
- How should I know?
- He's very exacting.
- 1138
- 00:55:34,960 --> 00:55:36,598
- Exacting's not even
- the word for that.
- 1139
- 00:55:36,680 --> 00:55:38,477
- I don't look like him!
- 1140
- 00:55:46,160 --> 00:55:47,798
- So now you're telling me
- 1141
- 00:55:47,880 --> 00:55:49,393
- to just go get married
- to somebody
- 1142
- 00:55:49,480 --> 00:55:51,277
- who's nice enough to keep people
- 1143
- 00:55:51,360 --> 00:55:53,351
- from putting me into an insane asylum?
- 1144
- 00:55:53,440 --> 00:55:55,317
- Also, I'm running outta codeine.
- 1145
- 00:55:59,720 --> 00:56:01,680
- Sarah, we should take
- a little bit of time.
- 1146
- 00:56:04,000 --> 00:56:05,638
- We need to take time
- to think.
- 1147
- 00:56:19,760 --> 00:56:21,239
- Well, hello.
- 1148
- 00:56:25,040 --> 00:56:26,075
- What did you say?
- 1149
- 00:56:26,160 --> 00:56:27,752
- I said hello!
- 1150
- 00:56:29,400 --> 00:56:30,400
- Mm-hmm.
- 1151
- 00:56:30,480 --> 00:56:32,596
- It's been a while, Mr. Hughes.
- 1152
- 00:56:32,680 --> 00:56:34,159
- Huh?
- 1153
- 00:56:34,800 --> 00:56:37,360
- It's been a while
- since we met.
- 1154
- 00:56:37,440 --> 00:56:39,396
- I have a telephone message
- from Mr. Forester.
- 1155
- 00:56:39,480 --> 00:56:40,515
- Read it.
- 1156
- 00:56:40,600 --> 00:56:42,511
- "We came at your request to lend you
- 1157
- 00:56:42,600 --> 00:56:45,398
- - "$400 million for TWA.
- - Mm-hmm.
- 1158
- 00:56:45,480 --> 00:56:47,516
- "Shouldn't we at least
- be allowed to meet you,
- 1159
- 00:56:47,600 --> 00:56:49,636
- "as the person who controls TWA,
- 1160
- 00:56:49,760 --> 00:56:50,760
- "face-to-face?"
- 1161
- 00:56:50,840 --> 00:56:52,319
- What was his tone?
- 1162
- 00:56:53,320 --> 00:56:54,799
- - Nervous.
- - Service?
- 1163
- 00:56:55,920 --> 00:56:57,035
- Nervous!
- 1164
- 00:56:57,120 --> 00:56:59,076
- Ah, yeah.
- Well, okay, thank you.
- 1165
- 00:57:00,080 --> 00:57:01,593
- Yeah, it has been
- 1166
- 00:57:01,800 --> 00:57:04,758
- a while since we were able
- to see one another, Marla.
- 1167
- 00:57:04,840 --> 00:57:07,070
- I do see your name
- on my check every week.
- 1168
- 00:57:07,680 --> 00:57:09,636
- That's sort of like
- seeing you.
- 1169
- 00:57:09,720 --> 00:57:10,869
- Would you excuse me?
- 1170
- 00:57:20,080 --> 00:57:21,274
- Shut the door.
- 1171
- 00:57:23,120 --> 00:57:24,633
- What the hell
- is she doin' here?
- 1172
- 00:57:24,720 --> 00:57:26,597
- You said you wanted the girl
- with the two M's.
- 1173
- 00:57:26,680 --> 00:57:28,989
- That's not her.
- That's Marla Mabrey.
- 1174
- 00:57:29,080 --> 00:57:30,638
- She's a Baptist nun,
- for Christ's sake.
- 1175
- 00:57:30,720 --> 00:57:32,915
- That's the only one
- on the payroll with two M's.
- 1176
- 00:57:33,000 --> 00:57:34,911
- Did it occur to you
- that maybe the one
- 1177
- 00:57:35,000 --> 00:57:37,833
- that I wanted with the two M's
- was not on the payroll?
- 1178
- 00:57:38,640 --> 00:57:40,631
- Ah! You meant Marilyn Monroe?
- 1179
- 00:57:40,720 --> 00:57:41,914
- Who?
- 1180
- 00:57:42,080 --> 00:57:43,308
- Marilyn Monroe? Her?
- 1181
- 00:57:43,400 --> 00:57:44,992
- Yes! Marilyn Monroe!
- 1182
- 00:57:45,640 --> 00:57:47,756
- I'll get rid of her at once.
- I apologize, sir.
- 1183
- 00:57:47,840 --> 00:57:49,920
- - Marilyn. I'll get Marilyn.
- - No. Hey, wait, wait...
- 1184
- 00:57:52,960 --> 00:57:54,360
- I'll get rid of her.
- You go on home.
- 1185
- 00:58:22,080 --> 00:58:23,274
- How's your mother?
- 1186
- 00:58:24,360 --> 00:58:26,510
- She's very well.
- 1187
- 00:58:26,600 --> 00:58:28,113
- Uh-huh.
- 1188
- 00:58:30,760 --> 00:58:32,079
- Bankers.
- 1189
- 00:58:33,480 --> 00:58:35,277
- Big boys from New York.
- 1190
- 00:58:38,520 --> 00:58:39,555
- From what I read,
- 1191
- 00:58:39,640 --> 00:58:42,154
- bankers work in extremely
- conventional ways.
- 1192
- 00:58:43,800 --> 00:58:46,075
- I don't pretend to understand
- the airline business,
- 1193
- 00:58:46,160 --> 00:58:47,673
- but I'm told you say propellers
- 1194
- 00:58:47,760 --> 00:58:49,671
- are a thing of the past.
- 1195
- 00:58:49,760 --> 00:58:51,576
- Well, I think your mother
- probably thought I was okay
- 1196
- 00:58:51,600 --> 00:58:53,431
- as long as she was sure that
- 1197
- 00:58:53,520 --> 00:58:55,000
- we had nothin' to do with each other.
- 1198
- 00:58:56,080 --> 00:58:57,376
- I think she thought that if I had been
- 1199
- 00:58:57,400 --> 00:58:58,833
- just one of those girls
- 1200
- 00:58:58,920 --> 00:59:01,354
- you wouldn't have real respect
- for my integrity.
- 1201
- 00:59:01,440 --> 00:59:03,032
- Ah.
- 1202
- 00:59:03,120 --> 00:59:04,439
- I mean, I guess a girl's always
- 1203
- 00:59:04,560 --> 00:59:06,118
- got a reputation to think about.
- 1204
- 00:59:06,520 --> 00:59:08,272
- Well, I guess a man always
- 1205
- 00:59:08,360 --> 00:59:10,112
- has a reputation to think about.
- 1206
- 00:59:14,720 --> 00:59:16,278
- - Uh...
- - Hello?
- 1207
- 00:59:16,360 --> 00:59:17,360
- Mr. Forester?
- 1208
- 00:59:17,440 --> 00:59:18,919
- Mr. Hughes?
- 1209
- 00:59:19,000 --> 00:59:21,434
- Listen, I don't think
- there's any real
- 1210
- 00:59:21,520 --> 00:59:23,158
- necessity for us to meet.
- 1211
- 00:59:23,240 --> 00:59:25,629
- I mean, there's no reason
- why we can't do this
- 1212
- 00:59:25,720 --> 00:59:26,630
- on the telephone.
- 1213
- 00:59:26,720 --> 00:59:28,597
- Well, let me be plain, sir.
- 1214
- 00:59:28,680 --> 00:59:32,355
- I am not authorized to approve
- our venture to lend you
- 1215
- 00:59:32,440 --> 00:59:36,149
- $400 million unless we meet.
- 1216
- 00:59:38,160 --> 00:59:39,354
- Mr. Hughes?
- 1217
- 00:59:41,040 --> 00:59:42,189
- Mr. Hughes?
- 1218
- 00:59:43,880 --> 00:59:45,472
- If there's a Stella Starlight script,
- 1219
- 00:59:45,600 --> 00:59:46,828
- you could have fooled me.
- 1220
- 00:59:48,160 --> 00:59:49,752
- Did you look at my screen test?
- 1221
- 00:59:49,840 --> 00:59:51,273
- Mr. Hughes, please just
- 1222
- 00:59:51,400 --> 00:59:52,656
- tell us what bungalow you're in.
- 1223
- 00:59:52,680 --> 00:59:54,079
- It would be so very easy.
- 1224
- 00:59:54,160 --> 00:59:57,835
- We're, we're 14 feet away.
- Five feet away? Twenty feet away?
- 1225
- 00:59:57,920 --> 00:59:59,831
- Which one is your bungalow?
- We'll come to you!
- 1226
- 00:59:59,920 --> 01:00:01,273
- Uh, Mr. Forester...
- 1227
- 01:00:01,360 --> 01:00:03,669
- I'm sorry, I don't think there's any
- 1228
- 01:00:03,760 --> 01:00:05,876
- need for us to actually meet.
- 1229
- 01:00:07,320 --> 01:00:09,151
- There's no reason why we shouldn't
- 1230
- 01:00:09,240 --> 01:00:11,117
- be able to do this on the telephone.
- 1231
- 01:00:11,280 --> 01:00:12,280
- Mr. Hughes?
- 1232
- 01:00:14,560 --> 01:00:15,560
- Mr. Hughes?
- 1233
- 01:00:16,200 --> 01:00:18,555
- These guys wanna have
- a face-to-face meeting with me,
- 1234
- 01:00:18,640 --> 01:00:21,074
- and then be able to say I'm crazy.
- 1235
- 01:00:21,160 --> 01:00:22,878
- And then I'll have to give up control
- 1236
- 01:00:22,960 --> 01:00:26,032
- of TWA to them. It's just...
- 1237
- 01:00:26,960 --> 01:00:28,678
- Well, maybe you'd teach them a lesson
- 1238
- 01:00:28,760 --> 01:00:30,273
- if you just gave it to them.
- 1239
- 01:00:30,360 --> 01:00:32,056
- Then they could sue me
- for a whole lot of money,
- 1240
- 01:00:32,080 --> 01:00:33,960
- and then they may come after
- my daddy's company,
- 1241
- 01:00:34,040 --> 01:00:37,032
- and so I really
- can't afford to let them
- 1242
- 01:00:37,120 --> 01:00:38,917
- make me some kind
- of a psychiatric case.
- 1243
- 01:00:39,000 --> 01:00:41,355
- I would leave this country
- and never come back.
- 1244
- 01:00:41,440 --> 01:00:46,036
- I'd leave this country,
- and never come back.
- 1245
- 01:00:46,160 --> 01:00:47,434
- You know?
- 1246
- 01:00:47,520 --> 01:00:49,476
- I'd leave this country,
- and never come back.
- 1247
- 01:00:51,040 --> 01:00:52,760
- I'd leave this country,
- and never come back.
- 1248
- 01:00:52,800 --> 01:00:54,472
- What, I'm not gonna do it.
- 1249
- 01:00:54,560 --> 01:00:56,256
- They just have a face-to-face
- meeting with me,
- 1250
- 01:00:56,280 --> 01:00:57,429
- and then call me a nut?
- 1251
- 01:00:57,520 --> 01:00:59,112
- Well, that's ridiculous!
- 1252
- 01:00:59,200 --> 01:01:01,589
- And you have all your
- own people around you
- 1253
- 01:01:01,720 --> 01:01:03,438
- who you know you can trust.
- 1254
- 01:01:05,480 --> 01:01:06,595
- May I give you some advice?
- 1255
- 01:01:06,680 --> 01:01:07,908
- Yes.
- 1256
- 01:01:08,080 --> 01:01:11,470
- Never trust anybody.
- 1257
- 01:01:12,400 --> 01:01:13,992
- Not me, not anybody.
- 1258
- 01:01:14,080 --> 01:01:15,593
- They're not your mommy
- or your daddy.
- 1259
- 01:01:15,680 --> 01:01:17,989
- The only person
- you can trust is you.
- 1260
- 01:01:19,640 --> 01:01:21,153
- Do you have children?
- 1261
- 01:01:21,280 --> 01:01:23,350
- Me?
- 1262
- 01:01:23,440 --> 01:01:24,634
- - No?
- - No.
- 1263
- 01:01:24,720 --> 01:01:29,396
- I'm afraid that I'm still
- more of a son than a father.
- 1264
- 01:01:29,480 --> 01:01:31,391
- But I'll tell you somethin'
- very important,
- 1265
- 01:01:31,480 --> 01:01:33,152
- that a couple of limeys
- came up with
- 1266
- 01:01:33,240 --> 01:01:34,639
- three or four years ago.
- 1267
- 01:01:35,120 --> 01:01:36,269
- Little thing called DNA,
- 1268
- 01:01:36,360 --> 01:01:39,158
- and we're workin' with it
- over at my foundation.
- 1269
- 01:01:39,240 --> 01:01:41,196
- In a sense,
- you are your father,
- 1270
- 01:01:41,280 --> 01:01:44,033
- because his DNA
- is still inside of you.
- 1271
- 01:01:44,120 --> 01:01:45,314
- It keeps goin' on,
- 1272
- 01:01:45,400 --> 01:01:47,016
- and your father had nothing
- to say about it.
- 1273
- 01:01:47,040 --> 01:01:48,792
- That's what makes him
- still alive.
- 1274
- 01:01:48,880 --> 01:01:51,792
- DNA, deoxyribonucleic acid.
- 1275
- 01:01:51,880 --> 01:01:53,871
- It's got all the genetic
- instructions
- 1276
- 01:01:53,960 --> 01:01:56,872
- that cause all of the function
- and development of all
- 1277
- 01:01:56,960 --> 01:01:59,918
- known living organisms.
- It's the basic,
- 1278
- 01:02:00,000 --> 01:02:02,070
- hereditary material
- in human beings,
- 1279
- 01:02:02,160 --> 01:02:04,674
- and it's gonna replicate,
- and replicate, and replicate,
- 1280
- 01:02:04,760 --> 01:02:06,512
- whether we want it to or not.
- 1281
- 01:02:06,600 --> 01:02:09,717
- You have no choice.
- It's just gonna keep going.
- 1282
- 01:02:09,800 --> 01:02:11,279
- It's gonna keep you alive.
- 1283
- 01:02:13,160 --> 01:02:14,957
- What if Stella Starlight sang?
- 1284
- 01:02:17,480 --> 01:02:19,118
- You know, make the movie a musical.
- 1285
- 01:02:20,080 --> 01:02:21,513
- I can sing!
- 1286
- 01:02:22,880 --> 01:02:24,757
- Well, but nobody should have children
- 1287
- 01:02:24,840 --> 01:02:27,308
- if they don't want to.
- That's for sure.
- 1288
- 01:02:28,880 --> 01:02:30,711
- Yeah. Well, anyway,
- 1289
- 01:02:30,800 --> 01:02:34,554
- if I lost my daddy's company,
- it'd be like losing my daddy.
- 1290
- 01:02:34,640 --> 01:02:36,278
- Those finance people are jackals.
- 1291
- 01:02:37,480 --> 01:02:38,480
- Jackals?
- 1292
- 01:02:38,600 --> 01:02:39,600
- Jackals.
- 1293
- 01:02:39,840 --> 01:02:41,068
- Why should you meet with them?
- 1294
- 01:02:41,480 --> 01:02:44,517
- And so what
- if you repeat yourself a lot?
- 1295
- 01:02:45,360 --> 01:02:47,430
- It adds emphasis.
- 1296
- 01:02:48,840 --> 01:02:49,875
- Emphasis?
- 1297
- 01:02:50,440 --> 01:02:53,079
- Have you heard from people
- that I'm crazy?
- 1298
- 01:02:53,160 --> 01:02:56,197
- Well, if what you are
- is crazy, then,
- 1299
- 01:02:57,000 --> 01:02:58,194
- then give me more crazy!
- 1300
- 01:02:58,280 --> 01:03:00,191
- You're not crazy.
- You're just...
- 1301
- 01:03:02,080 --> 01:03:02,956
- Smart.
- 1302
- 01:03:03,040 --> 01:03:05,474
- You are not like other people.
- 1303
- 01:03:06,440 --> 01:03:07,589
- You're an exception.
- 1304
- 01:03:13,440 --> 01:03:14,589
- Hello?
- 1305
- 01:03:15,040 --> 01:03:16,473
- - Mr. Hughes?
- - Um...
- 1306
- 01:03:16,560 --> 01:03:20,269
- I am not going to be able
- to talk to you until later.
- 1307
- 01:03:20,400 --> 01:03:21,515
- What is later?
- 1308
- 01:03:21,600 --> 01:03:22,999
- Thank you. Thank you.
- 1309
- 01:03:24,000 --> 01:03:25,000
- Mr. Hughes?
- 1310
- 01:03:44,760 --> 01:03:46,318

- Is that a compliment, Howard?
- 1331
- 01:05:30,760 --> 01:05:32,113
- You're not calling me Mr. Hughes.
- 1332
- 01:05:32,680 --> 01:05:34,193
- Makes me feel so much younger.
- 1333
- 01:05:34,280 --> 01:05:36,077
- Good, Howard!
- 1334
- 01:05:36,520 --> 01:05:38,272
- Now, how would you like
- to forget about
- 1335
- 01:05:38,360 --> 01:05:40,954
- bringing the entire

- 01:05:41,080 --> 01:05:42,798
- into the inevitable future
- 1337
- 01:05:42,880 --> 01:05:46,350
- and drive to Palm Springs

- 1338
- 01:05:46,440 --> 01:05:47,793
- They say it's like heaven.
- 1339
- 01:05:47,920 --> 01:05:49,638
- If I had a car, I'd drive you there.
- 1340
- 01:05:49,720 --> 01:05:51,233
- All you girls should have cars.
- 1341
- 01:05:51,320 --> 01:05:54,710

- 01:05:54,800 --> 01:05:56,995
- and just make it a picture
- a year for three years.
- 1343
- 01:05:57,080 --> 01:05:59,435
- $100,000 a picture, okay?
- 1344
- 01:06:00,640 --> 01:06:02,437
- It doesn't seem real to me.
- 1345
- 01:06:13,000 --> 01:06:15,753
- That's what's real.
- 1346
- 01:06:20,520 --> 01:06:23,193

- 01:07:43,840 --> 01:07:44,909
- Wait.
- 1359
- 01:07:47,440 --> 01:07:49,078
- Careful.
- 1360
- 01:07:50,560 --> 01:07:51,629
- Yeah.
- 1361
- 01:07:55,640 --> 01:07:57,119
- Yeah. That's it.
- 1362
- 01:08:09,600 --> 01:08:11,989
- What do you mean
- we need time to think?
- 1363
- 01:08:12,080 --> 01:08:14,036
- I just, I mean that...
- 1364
- 01:08:14,120 --> 01:08:15,840
- We've been thinking
- since the seventh grade.
- 1365
- 01:08:19,440 --> 01:08:22,000
- I only mean that we should
- take a little bit of time.
- 1366
- 01:08:22,920 --> 01:08:24,990
- You know, we're not
- in the seventh grade anymore.
- 1367
- 01:08:25,920 --> 01:08:28,070
- I'm just saying it's probably...
- 1368
- 01:08:33,520 --> 01:08:35,476
- You mean you need
- time to think.
- 1369
- 01:09:09,400 --> 01:09:10,515
- Get me Greg.
- 1370
- 01:09:11,040 --> 01:09:12,109
- Yes, Howard?
- 1371
- 01:09:12,200 --> 01:09:13,269
- - Greg?
- - Yes?
- 1372
- 01:09:13,360 --> 01:09:14,839
- I've changed my mind. Get the plane.
- 1373
- 01:09:14,960 --> 01:09:16,313
- I'm going to Vegas in one hour.
- 1374
- 01:09:16,400 --> 01:09:17,674
- Howard, no air...
- 1375
- 01:09:18,720 --> 01:09:21,154
- Mr. Hughes,
- do you want my money?
- 1376
- 01:09:22,400 --> 01:09:24,072
- Do you want my money?
- 1377
- 01:09:24,880 --> 01:09:26,438
- Do you want my money or not?
- 1378
- 01:09:33,800 --> 01:09:36,234
- The hell with TWA,
- you son of a bitch!
- 1379
- 01:09:36,800 --> 01:09:39,439
- We're flying American Airlines
- back to New York!
- 1380
- 01:11:13,120 --> 01:11:14,599
- - Hi.
- - Hi.
- 1381
- 01:11:14,680 --> 01:11:15,999
- Wow!
- 1382
- 01:11:16,680 --> 01:11:18,193
- This is great!
- 1383
- 01:11:18,280 --> 01:11:19,952
- They're giving all the girls cars.
- 1384
- 01:11:20,040 --> 01:11:22,076
- They told me at headquarters.
- 1385
- 01:11:22,160 --> 01:11:23,388
- But I can't make mine start.
- 1386
- 01:11:23,480 --> 01:11:25,152
- - Really?
- - No.
- 1387
- 01:11:25,240 --> 01:11:27,037
- Do you want me to...
- 1388
- 01:11:28,000 --> 01:11:29,000
- Um...
- 1389
- 01:11:29,600 --> 01:11:31,875
- - It's probably flooded.
- - Flooded?
- 1390
- 01:11:35,240 --> 01:11:36,798
- Yeah. It's flooded.
- 1391
- 01:11:37,600 --> 01:11:39,431
- Um, you have to
- wait a little.
- 1392
- 01:11:55,760 --> 01:11:57,159
- Did somebody give that to you?
- 1393
- 01:12:00,720 --> 01:12:03,188
- Who gave that to you?
- 1394
- 01:12:06,080 --> 01:12:07,229
- You're a married man, Frank.
- 1395
- 01:12:08,440 --> 01:12:10,351
- - I...
- - Who gave that to you?
- 1396
- 01:12:10,440 --> 01:12:12,476
- I can't do this
- with you anymore.
- 1397
- 01:12:12,560 --> 01:12:14,039
- I'm seeing someone.
- 1398
- 01:12:15,400 --> 01:12:16,549
- It's private.
- 1399
- 01:12:16,640 --> 01:12:18,073
- I'm not gonna
- discuss it with you.
- 1400
- 01:12:36,120 --> 01:12:37,120
- - Hello?
- - Hello?
- 1401
- 01:12:37,200 --> 01:12:38,349
- - Nadine!
- - Yes?
- 1402
- 01:12:38,440 --> 01:12:39,509
- Hi, it's Marla.
- 1403
- 01:12:39,600 --> 01:12:40,669
- Marla, hi.
- 1404
- 01:12:40,760 --> 01:12:43,069
- Would you please ask
- Mr. Hughes to call me back?
- 1405
- 01:12:44,080 --> 01:12:45,718
- I'm sorry, Marla.
- All I can say is
- 1406
- 01:12:45,840 --> 01:12:47,990
- he's gonna be out
- of town for a month.
- 1407
- 01:12:48,080 --> 01:12:49,672
- Possibly five weeks.
- 1408
- 01:12:49,800 --> 01:12:51,552
- Anything I can help with?
- 1409
- 01:12:51,640 --> 01:12:53,312
- Well, could you tell
- him I've decided
- 1410
- 01:12:53,400 --> 01:12:55,152
- against the agreement
- we discussed?
- 1411
- 01:12:55,240 --> 01:12:58,232
- I can't do it.
- I just can't do it.
- 1412
- 01:13:00,680 --> 01:13:02,238
- I'll give him your message.
- 1413
- 01:13:02,320 --> 01:13:03,639
- Okay. Thank you.
- 1414
- 01:13:39,400 --> 01:13:41,152
- I used to have a life.
- 1415
- 01:13:41,240 --> 01:13:42,559

- Howard Hughes just
- announced he's married.
- 1420
- 01:13:52,960 --> 01:13:55,030

- In other news,

- 01:14:04,400 --> 01:14:06,675
- Jean Peters hit the jackpot!
- 1426
- 01:14:06,760 --> 01:14:08,216

- 1427
- 01:14:08,240 --> 01:14:09,753
- for a while, but not to get married.
- 1428
- 01:14:10,720 --> 01:14:11,976
- And meanwhile, he's out of town,
- 1429
- 01:14:12,000 --> 01:14:13,433

- 1430
- 01:14:13,520 --> 01:14:15,272
- cooped up in the studio
- all day and night.
- 1431
- 01:14:16,320 --> 01:14:17,912
- I'm gonna go down to RKO tomorrow
- 1432
- 01:14:18,000 --> 01:14:19,416
- and tell Levar why you can't believe
- 1433
- 01:14:19,440 --> 01:14:21,351
- anything Howard Hughes ever says.
- 1434
- 01:14:21,800 --> 01:14:23,153
- I've had it with Howard Hughes.
- 1435
- 01:14:23,600 --> 01:14:25,800

- Hello, gentlemen.
- 1438
- 01:14:41,440 --> 01:14:43,256
- I don't want anybody knowing
- I'm not in Las Vegas.
- 1439
- 01:14:43,280 --> 01:14:45,350
- They cannot know I'm in Los Angeles.
- 1440
- 01:14:45,440 --> 01:14:47,112
- We got some things to catch up on.
- 1441
- 01:14:47,200 --> 01:14:49,191

- "Signed, Howard R. Hughes."
- 1479
- 01:16:35,680 --> 01:16:38,399
- It's 26 pages long, Mr. Hughes.
- 1480
- 01:16:38,480 --> 01:16:39,629
- We have four carbon copies.
- 1481
- 01:16:48,360 --> 01:16:49,270
- Hello?
- 1482
- 01:16:49,360 --> 01:16:50,839
- Howard, I'm here.
- 1483
- 01:16:50,960 --> 01:16:53,599
- - You wanted to see me.
- - I'm married now, Noah.
- 1484
- 01:16:53,680 --> 01:16:55,875
- Do you still think
- I need to be seen
- 1485
- 01:16:55,960 --> 01:16:58,155
- by these TWA people?
- 1486
- 01:16:58,240 --> 01:16:59,416
- Well, you're going to have to let them
- 1487
- 01:16:59,440 --> 01:17:01,032
- look at you eventually, Howard.
- 1488
- 01:17:01,120 --> 01:17:02,120
- Admit it, Noah.
- 1489
- 01:17:02,200 --> 01:17:04,760
- You can't legally commit me
- to an insane asylum,
- 1490
- 01:17:04,840 --> 01:17:06,273
- because I have married a woman
- 1491
- 01:17:06,360 --> 01:17:07,952
- that I have known
- and trusted for years,
- 1492
- 01:17:08,040 --> 01:17:08,950
- and you know very well
- 1493
- 01:17:09,040 --> 01:17:10,917
- that she would never
- give her consent to it.
- 1494
- 01:17:12,040 --> 01:17:14,793
- I love you, Noah,
- but you're not my father.
- 1495
- 01:17:14,880 --> 01:17:16,074
- You're fired.
- 1496
- 01:17:16,160 --> 01:17:18,310
- You've been replaced.
- 1497
- 01:17:28,680 --> 01:17:30,238
- He's lucky to have you, Frank.
- 1498
- 01:17:32,680 --> 01:17:33,680
- Good luck, son.
- 1499
- 01:17:34,600 --> 01:17:36,960
- Don't let him start to think
- you're trying to be his father.
- 1500
- 01:17:58,280 --> 01:18:00,430
- The vice president's
- brother is apparently
- 1501
- 01:18:00,520 --> 01:18:02,351
- not in Washington, D.C., this week.
- 1502
- 01:18:02,440 --> 01:18:03,839
- We think he's in Miami.
- 1503
- 01:18:03,920 --> 01:18:06,150
- And he will supposedly...
- 1504
- 01:18:06,240 --> 01:18:07,593
- His secretary said he'll be back
- 1505
- 01:18:07,680 --> 01:18:09,716
- sometime in the middle
- 1506
- 01:18:09,800 --> 01:18:11,153
- or end of next week.
- 1507
- 01:18:11,240 --> 01:18:13,376
- So if we need to get in touch
- with him or send him anything,
- 1508
- 01:18:13,400 --> 01:18:15,436
- we can do it sometime
- towards the middle...
- 1509
- 01:18:15,520 --> 01:18:17,272
- - Frank, Frank, Frank.
- - Yes, Mr. Hughes?
- 1510
- 01:18:17,360 --> 01:18:19,590
- Does he know I'm back in Los Angeles?
- 1511
- 01:18:20,800 --> 01:18:22,438
- I don't wanna have to call him again.
- 1512
- 01:18:24,840 --> 01:18:26,239
- I want banana nut ice cream.
- 1513
- 01:18:34,720 --> 01:18:35,835
- Hey. Excuse me.
- 1514
- 01:18:36,880 --> 01:18:38,154
- What are you doing?
- 1515
- 01:18:40,160 --> 01:18:40,990
- What's going on?
- 1516
- 01:18:41,080 --> 01:18:42,776
- - Stella Starlight!
- - What are you talking about?
- 1517
- 01:18:42,800 --> 01:18:44,995
- Stella Starlight is a really,
- really stupid title
- 1518
- 01:18:45,080 --> 01:18:46,479
- for a really stupid movie.
- 1519
- 01:18:46,560 --> 01:18:47,840
- But not nearly as stupid as I am
- 1520
- 01:18:47,920 --> 01:18:49,896
- - for thinking he'd ever make it.
- - What are you talking about?
- 1521
- 01:18:49,920 --> 01:18:52,309
- First, he gives me a lot of
- junk about how great I am.
- 1522
- 01:18:52,400 --> 01:18:53,856
- And now I can't get him on the phone.
- 1523
- 01:18:53,880 --> 01:18:56,474
- He hasn't even bothered to
- look at my stupid screen test!
- 1524
- 01:18:56,560 --> 01:18:58,096
- - Wait a minute.
- - Wait a minute for what?
- 1525
- 01:18:58,120 --> 01:18:59,400
- - Wait a minute.
- - Howard Hughes?
- 1526
- 01:18:59,440 --> 01:19:00,839
- Is that who you're waiting for?
- 1527
- 01:19:00,920 --> 01:19:03,798
- I think you should take some time.
- 1528
- 01:19:03,880 --> 01:19:05,791
- And maybe don't try
- to advise me on my career.
- 1529
- 01:19:05,880 --> 01:19:07,136
- How could I advise you
- on your career?
- 1530
- 01:19:07,160 --> 01:19:09,200
- I have no idea what's
- going on in your life or where
- 1531
- 01:19:09,240 --> 01:19:11,256
- you're getting your advice
- from. And I'm not asking.
- 1532
- 01:19:11,280 --> 01:19:12,554
- I'm not asking about your ring.
- 1533
- 01:19:12,640 --> 01:19:13,675
- I'm not asking...
- 1534
- 01:19:19,400 --> 01:19:21,436
- Reverend Forbes, banana nut.
- 1535
- 01:19:22,160 --> 01:19:24,310
- You know, I don't know
- if I still got a shot at her.
- 1536
- 01:19:24,400 --> 01:19:26,118
- But if anybody does, trust me,
- 1537
- 01:19:26,240 --> 01:19:27,776
- it's the Reverend Frank Forbes
- of Fresno.
- 1538
- 01:19:27,800 --> 01:19:28,800
- Stop.
- 1539
- 01:19:35,840 --> 01:19:37,717
- Mr. Hughes, I think maybe
- now is a good time
- 1540
- 01:19:37,800 --> 01:19:39,736
- to deal with the acreage
- that I spoke to you about
- 1541
- 01:19:39,760 --> 01:19:42,069
- the canyon off Mulholland Drive.
- I've got a plan.
- 1542
- 01:19:42,160 --> 01:19:44,390
- The time for suburban
- development has come.
- 1543
- 01:19:44,480 --> 01:19:46,277
- Its time has come... And, and...
- 1544
- 01:19:47,440 --> 01:19:49,396
- Mulholland Canyon is gonna be gold.
- 1545
- 01:19:49,480 --> 01:19:50,708
- And you know what Victor Hugo
- 1546
- 01:19:50,800 --> 01:19:52,256
- once said?
- "There's nothing so powerful
- 1547
- 01:19:52,280 --> 01:19:53,952
- "as an idea whose time
- 1548
- 01:19:54,040 --> 01:19:55,473
- "has come."
- 1549
- 01:19:55,600 --> 01:19:56,696
- I would like to just drive you
- 1550
- 01:19:56,720 --> 01:19:58,936
- - out there tomorrow and show you.
- - Howard, it's Bob Maheu.
- 1551
- 01:19:58,960 --> 01:20:01,428
- On my first day as your new CEO,
- 1552
- 01:20:01,520 --> 01:20:02,656
- I must tell you that if you don't
- 1553
- 01:20:02,680 --> 01:20:04,079
- let these people from TWA see you,
- 1554
- 01:20:04,160 --> 01:20:07,391
- they can make you be
- seen by them in court.
- 1555
- 01:20:07,480 --> 01:20:08,913
- Bob. Bob, Bob.
- 1556
- 01:20:09,000 --> 01:20:11,912
- Nobody makes me be seen anywhere.
- 1557
- 01:20:12,000 --> 01:20:13,558
- You got that?
- 1558
- 01:20:13,640 --> 01:20:15,596
- However, I am...
- 1559
- 01:20:15,680 --> 01:20:18,513
- I am making you be seen tonight
- 1560
- 01:20:18,600 --> 01:20:21,478
- in Las Vegas, Nevada,
- with our entire staff.
- 1561
- 01:20:21,560 --> 01:20:23,949
- We're all gonna be there,
- we're all flyin' in tonight.
- 1562
- 01:20:24,040 --> 01:20:26,235
- We're moving to Nevada.
- You wanna know why?
- 1563
- 01:20:26,320 --> 01:20:28,675
- Because I am selling TWA.
- 1564
- 01:20:28,800 --> 01:20:29,835
- Selling TWA?
- 1565
- 01:20:29,920 --> 01:20:32,514
- There's no state tax in Nevada, Frank.
- 1566
- 01:20:32,640 --> 01:20:33,675
- Howard?
- 1567
- 01:20:34,480 --> 01:20:35,696
- And if you're still
- afraid of flyin'...
- 1568
- 01:20:35,720 --> 01:20:36,720
- Howard?
- 1569
- 01:20:36,800 --> 01:20:38,336
- ...you know, you better
- get in the car soon,
- 1570
- 01:20:38,360 --> 01:20:40,635
- because it's a three hour
- and 47 minute drive.
- 1571
- 01:20:40,720 --> 01:20:41,720
- Howard?
- 1572
- 01:20:42,240 --> 01:20:43,240
- Is that banana nut?
- 1573
- 01:20:45,080 --> 01:20:46,115
- Uh...
- 1574
- 01:20:46,200 --> 01:20:47,553

- Elvis Presley, Pat Boone,

- 1588

- like Bobby Darin makes on something
- 1589
- 01:21:28,640 --> 01:21:29,675
- like "Beyond The Sea"?
- 1590
- 01:21:29,760 --> 01:21:31,136
- Frank, how's it going on
- 1591
- 01:21:31,160 --> 01:21:32,559
- the banana nut ice cream front?
- 1592
- 01:21:32,640 --> 01:21:34,790
- The company's definitely
- not making it anymore.
- 1593
- 01:21:34,880 --> 01:21:36,518
- But the good news is we located
- 1594
- 01:21:36,600 --> 01:21:38,591
- the last batch, 350 gallons.
- 1595
- 01:21:38,680 --> 01:21:40,477
- And the company's
- being very cooperative.
- 1596
- 01:21:40,640 --> 01:21:41,640
- Let's buy it.
- 1597
- 01:21:42,080 --> 01:21:43,479
- The company's not for sale, sir.
- 1598
- 01:21:43,560 --> 01:21:45,312
- The ice cream! Buy all of it.
- 1599
- 01:21:45,400 --> 01:21:48,312
- - How does it get here?
- - By refrigerated truck.
- 1600
- 01:21:48,400 --> 01:21:49,536
- Well, why don't we fly it in?
- 1601
- 01:21:49,560 --> 01:21:51,312
- Ice cream does not travel
- well on airplanes.
- 1602
- 01:21:51,400 --> 01:21:53,231
- Why don't we look into a...
- 1603
- 01:21:54,720 --> 01:21:57,871
- - ...refrigerated truck?
- - That's a great idea, sir.
- 1604
- 01:21:58,880 --> 01:22:00,896
- Mr. Hughes, I'm finding more
- and more tax advantages
- 1605
- 01:22:00,920 --> 01:22:02,360
- for buying up real estate in Nevada.
- 1606
- 01:22:02,440 --> 01:22:05,910
- With accelerated depreciation,
- you get just as much on hotels
- 1607
- 01:22:06,000 --> 01:22:08,798
- - as you would on, on shopping centers.
- - It's the White House again.
- 1608
- 01:22:09,880 --> 01:22:11,720
- Mr. Hughes, the White House
- is calling again...
- 1609
- 01:22:11,800 --> 01:22:14,075
- I want banana nut ice cream!
- 1610
- 01:22:14,160 --> 01:22:16,037
- I am in the middle of a desert!
- 1611
- 01:22:16,160 --> 01:22:17,752
- Are you not in the desert with me?
- 1612
- 01:22:17,840 --> 01:22:19,398
- Is it not hot enough for the desert?
- 1613
- 01:22:19,480 --> 01:22:23,758
- Where do I put 350 gallons
- of ice cream, huh?
- 1614
- 01:22:23,840 --> 01:22:25,193
- The same flavor!
- 1615
- 01:22:25,280 --> 01:22:26,998
- All of it is banana nut!
- 1616
- 01:22:27,080 --> 01:22:29,355
- All of it is banana nut! Carlos?
- 1617

- Frank, we've been waiting
- here for six weeks.

- I am his chief executive officer.

- I have to meet him.

- I understand, Mr. Maheu.
- 1621
- 01:22:40,080 --> 01:22:43,755
- Of course, you're right.
- In California, abortion's...
- 1622
- 01:22:45,080 --> 01:22:46,149
- ...not legal.
- 1623
- 01:22:46,240 --> 01:22:48,200

- Look, you ask that shitty
- little Mafia hoodlum
- 1633
- 01:23:10,160 --> 01:23:11,639
- how much he wants for the hotel
- 1634
- 01:23:11,720 --> 01:23:14,029
- and say "yes" on the condition
- he's out by Thursday.
- 1635
- 01:23:14,160 --> 01:23:17,152
- There is no need for you
- or anyone else to see me.
- 1636
- 01:23:17,240 --> 01:23:19,834
- Howard. I feel I must advise you
- 1637
- 01:23:19,920 --> 01:23:22,593
- that you can still be made
- to be seen in court
- 1638
- 01:23:22,680 --> 01:23:24,238
- in order to defend against charges
- 1639
- 01:23:24,320 --> 01:23:25,799
- that you mismanaged TWA.
- 1640
- 01:23:25,880 --> 01:23:27,056
- That's not true. That's not true.
- 1641
- 01:23:27,080 --> 01:23:28,593
- I'm also finding it very difficult
- 1642
- 01:23:28,680 --> 01:23:30,159
- to run your entire operation
- 1643
- 01:23:30,240 --> 01:23:33,755
- when I've never, ever
- actually seen you.
- 1644
- 01:23:33,840 --> 01:23:34,840
- I mean, in the flesh.
- 1645
- 01:23:34,880 --> 01:23:36,677
- Do you realize that, Howard?
- 1646
- 01:23:36,760 --> 01:23:38,352
- That I've never actually seen you?
- 1647
- 01:23:40,640 --> 01:23:41,868
- Howard?
- 1648
- 01:24:00,520 --> 01:24:04,354
- Bob? If you were
- to actually see me
- 1649
- 01:24:04,440 --> 01:24:08,513
- you could not represent me
- in the way that I need to be.
- 1650
- 01:24:11,760 --> 01:24:14,035
- You are my chief executive officer,
- 1651
- 01:24:14,120 --> 01:24:15,792
- you are not my father.
- 1652
- 01:24:20,040 --> 01:24:21,155
- Okay, what's this?
- 1653
- 01:24:21,800 --> 01:24:23,216
- It's Stouffer frozen
- turkey dinner, sir.
- 1654
- 01:24:23,240 --> 01:24:25,595
- Okay, well, I want you to
- notify the Stouffer company
- 1655
- 01:24:25,680 --> 01:24:27,511
- to remove the dark meat of the turkey
- 1656
- 01:24:27,600 --> 01:24:29,158
- from the turkey frozen dinner.
- 1657
- 01:24:29,240 --> 01:24:30,416
- - Banana nut?
- - Banana nut, sir.
- 1658
- 01:24:30,440 --> 01:24:31,475
- Forget banana nut!
- 1659
- 01:24:32,040 --> 01:24:33,359
- Okay. Levar!
- 1660
- 01:24:33,440 --> 01:24:35,908
- No more banana nut ice cream.
- You got that?
- 1661
- 01:24:36,000 --> 01:24:37,831
- No more banana nut ice cream.
- From now on...
- 1662
- 01:24:37,920 --> 01:24:39,478
- I want French vanilla.
- 1663
- 01:24:39,560 --> 01:24:41,551
- Goddamn it. I want French vanilla now.
- 1664
- 01:24:41,680 --> 01:24:44,478
- I want you to bring me
- that schedule of Maheu's
- 1665
- 01:24:44,600 --> 01:24:45,874
- because I wanna know exactly
- 1666
- 01:24:45,960 --> 01:24:47,536
- what that son of a bitch is doing.
- 1667
- 01:24:47,560 --> 01:24:50,518
- Mr. Hughes,
- Marla Mabrey has just come in.
- 1668
- 01:24:50,600 --> 01:24:52,192
- I put her in the speakerphone room.
- 1669
- 01:24:53,880 --> 01:24:56,758
- Shall I tell her
- you're unavailable, sir?
- 1670
- 01:24:59,960 --> 01:25:03,077
- Frank, handle this, will you?
- 1671
- 01:25:03,200 --> 01:25:04,315
- Go talk to her.
- 1672
- 01:25:04,400 --> 01:25:06,755
- Tell her I'm just not seeing people.
- 1673
- 01:25:08,160 --> 01:25:10,151
- I want French vanilla from now on!
- 1674
- 01:25:10,240 --> 01:25:12,310
- French vanilla immediately.
- 1675
- 01:25:19,400 --> 01:25:20,310
- Hi.
- 1676
- 01:25:20,400 --> 01:25:22,152
- What can I do for you?
- 1677
- 01:25:27,520 --> 01:25:29,670
- It's my career, not yours.
- 1678
- 01:25:29,760 --> 01:25:32,228
- And you can help by accepting that.
- 1679
- 01:25:32,320 --> 01:25:34,356
- It's really none of
- your business, Frank.
- 1680
- 01:25:34,480 --> 01:25:35,549
- Okay.
- 1681
- 01:25:35,640 --> 01:25:36,789
- But you can tell your boss
- 1682
- 01:25:36,880 --> 01:25:38,598
- I feel it's only right
- that I meet with him
- 1683
- 01:25:38,680 --> 01:25:40,591
- before taking any action.
- 1684
- 01:25:48,960 --> 01:25:51,428
- I don't know. You never looked
- at her screen test.
- 1685
- 01:25:51,520 --> 01:25:53,750
- She might have someone new
- who's advising her.
- 1686
- 01:25:53,840 --> 01:25:55,717
- Who? An agent? Lawyer? What?
- 1687
- 01:25:55,800 --> 01:25:57,456
- Have you heard she might be
- involved with somebody?
- 1688
- 01:25:57,480 --> 01:25:59,550
- I've heard nothing! I...
- 1689
- 01:26:01,320 --> 01:26:05,029
- Never mind. You go ahead.
- I'll talk to her.
- 1690
- 01:26:06,920 --> 01:26:07,920
- Yes, sir.
- 1691
- 01:26:10,480 --> 01:26:13,392
- Marla?
- Are you, are you there, Marla?
- 1692
- 01:26:13,520 --> 01:26:14,635
- Are you in the room?
- 1693
- 01:26:17,880 --> 01:26:19,233
- I can't do this
- 1694
- 01:26:19,360 --> 01:26:20,475
- on the telephone, Howard.
- 1695
- 01:26:20,560 --> 01:26:21,754
- I'm not seeing people.
- 1696
- 01:26:23,480 --> 01:26:25,080
- Something we didn't plan on
- has happened.
- 1697
- 01:26:28,160 --> 01:26:29,752
- You better pick up the phone, Marla.
- 1698
- 01:26:34,760 --> 01:26:36,398
- We should have been more careful.
- 1699
- 01:26:38,880 --> 01:26:41,440
- From a single encounter,
- Marla? From one time?
- 1700
- 01:26:41,520 --> 01:26:43,317
- Do you really expect me
- to believe that?
- 1701
- 01:26:44,160 --> 01:26:44,990
- I'm surprised.
- 1702
- 01:26:45,080 --> 01:26:46,880
- I didn't think you were
- that kind of a person.
- 1703
- 01:26:47,760 --> 01:26:49,910
- How much money are you looking for?
- 1704
- 01:26:52,280 --> 01:26:54,376
- Hey, is vanilla and French vanilla,
- is it the same thing?
- 1705
- 01:26:54,400 --> 01:26:55,230
- Yeah, yeah, yeah.
- 1706
- 01:26:55,320 --> 01:26:57,080
- Yes, it's the same?
- I'm gonna go check on it.
- 1707
- 01:27:00,200 --> 01:27:01,315
- You're acting crazy.
- 1708
- 01:27:02,440 --> 01:27:04,336
- I know more about the business
- than you think I do.
- 1709
- 01:27:04,360 --> 01:27:06,016
- Oh, all those big deals
- in your future, Frank?
- 1710
- 01:27:06,040 --> 01:27:07,096
- You better get them in writing.
- 1711
- 01:27:07,120 --> 01:27:08,216
- I don't need them in writing.
- 1712
- 01:27:08,240 --> 01:27:10,037
- Well, that's right.
- 'Cause you trust him.
- 1713
- 01:27:11,640 --> 01:27:12,696
- He won't even meet with his wife.
- 1714
- 01:27:12,720 --> 01:27:14,336
- - Lucky woman.
- - He won't let anybody look at him.
- 1715
- 01:27:14,360 --> 01:27:15,456
- - Oh, well, he's right!
- - There's no reason...
- 1716
- 01:27:15,480 --> 01:27:17,576
- He's right. Because they might see
- exactly what he is,
- 1717
- 01:27:17,600 --> 01:27:19,556
- a cold, sleazy, egomaniacal, old fake
- 1718
- 01:27:19,640 --> 01:27:20,789
- not worth meeting with.
- 1719
- 01:27:20,920 --> 01:27:23,229
- You wanna have meetings
- or make movies?
- 1720
- 01:27:24,360 --> 01:27:26,880
- They got names for guys that are doing
- what you're doing, Frank.
- 1721
- 01:27:28,080 --> 01:27:29,513
- Who do you think you're talking to?
- 1722
- 01:27:29,640 --> 01:27:31,676
- I think I'm talking to
- somebody that sold out
- 1723
- 01:27:31,760 --> 01:27:33,520
- and you can tell the guy
- that you sold out to
- 1724
- 01:27:33,560 --> 01:27:35,516
- that I'm never going back
- to that stupid house!
- 1725
- 01:27:35,600 --> 01:27:36,976
- And he can throw
- whatever's in it away.
- 1726
- 01:27:37,000 --> 01:27:38,576
- And that you wanna go home
- to your fiancée
- 1727
- 01:27:38,600 --> 01:27:39,953
- and get legally married!
- 1728
- 01:27:40,040 --> 01:27:42,736
- Do you actually think that you're
- going somewhere with Howard Hughes?
- 1729
- 01:27:42,760 --> 01:27:44,796
- You're even scared
- to get on his plane!
- 1730
- 01:27:44,880 --> 01:27:47,269
- - Okay, just...
- - Don't be physical with me, Frank!
- 1731
- 01:27:47,360 --> 01:27:48,976
- Whoever the hell
- is advising you right now...
- 1732
- 01:27:49,000 --> 01:27:51,560
- You know, it's none of your business
- who's advising me now!
- 1733
- 01:27:51,640 --> 01:27:53,551
- You need someone
- who's advising you now!
- 1734
- 01:27:53,640 --> 01:27:55,870
- To move on, Frank, move on! I have!
- 1735
- 01:27:55,960 --> 01:27:57,536
- - Do you mind if I speak?
- - Get out of here!
- 1736
- 01:27:57,560 --> 01:27:59,120
- No, because there's
- nothing left to say!
- 1737
- 01:27:59,160 --> 01:28:00,912
- And if you call me,
- I won't talk to you.
- 1738
- 01:28:01,000 --> 01:28:02,911
- So kindly treat
- my privacy with respect!
- 1739
- 01:28:03,000 --> 01:28:04,000
- Respect?
- 1740
- 01:28:04,040 --> 01:28:05,917
- Go back to your goddamn mystery man,
- 1741
- 01:28:06,000 --> 01:28:07,877
- with your privacy and your rings
- 1742
- 01:28:07,960 --> 01:28:09,678
- and don't worry about
- me ever calling you.
- 1743
- 01:28:09,760 --> 01:28:11,318
- Believe me, I never will!
- 1744
- 01:28:19,600 --> 01:28:22,296
- Nadine, who called
- that Maheu didn't tell me about?
- 1745
- 01:28:22,320 --> 01:28:24,038
- Today? The chairman of the FAA,
- 1746
- 01:28:24,120 --> 01:28:25,633
- the Under Secretary of Defense,
- 1747
- 01:28:25,720 --> 01:28:27,676
- the Treasury secretary,
- 1748
- 01:28:27,760 --> 01:28:29,456
- someone from the air traffic
- controller's union,
- 1749
- 01:28:29,480 --> 01:28:31,038
- and a man from the AFL-CIO.
- 1750
- 01:28:31,120 --> 01:28:33,509
- All right, look, we're leaving
- that son of a bitch Maheu
- 1751
- 01:28:33,600 --> 01:28:35,511
- alone in Vegas tonight.
- 1752
- 01:28:35,600 --> 01:28:38,034
- Nobody tells him about it!
- He's finished. He's fired!
- 1753
- 01:28:38,120 --> 01:28:39,473
- We're going to Nicaragua.
- 1754
- 01:28:39,560 --> 01:28:42,120
- This isn't the only place
- in the world without taxes!
- 1755
- 01:28:42,200 --> 01:28:43,519
- Get me my pilot's jacket.
- 1756
- 01:28:45,880 --> 01:28:49,077
- All right, come on, come on.
- Let's go. Come on!
- 1757
- 01:28:49,160 --> 01:28:51,276
- Going through the kitchen now.
- 1758
- 01:28:54,160 --> 01:28:56,549
- It's all up to me.
- Nothing gets bought,
- 1759
- 01:28:56,640 --> 01:28:57,914
- nothing gets sold without me.
- 1760
- 01:28:58,000 --> 01:29:00,514
- For all practical purposes,
- I am Howard Hughes.
- 1761
- 01:29:07,440 --> 01:29:08,736
- Come on, Frank. Get outta the car.
- 1762
- 01:29:08,760 --> 01:29:10,079
- There's nothing to be afraid of.
- 1763
- 01:29:10,160 --> 01:29:11,160
- Come on!
- 1764
- 01:29:18,200 --> 01:29:21,351
- Frank, you can do this.
- Come on. Flying can be fun.
- 1765
- 01:29:21,440 --> 01:29:22,759
- I think I'm ready.
- 1766
- 01:29:22,840 --> 01:29:24,640
- Okay, Cappy, it's about time
- I did this again.
- 1767
- 01:29:29,160 --> 01:29:32,232
- Gentlemen, I am finally
- gonna do something
- 1768
- 01:29:32,320 --> 01:29:34,675
- that I haven't done for far too long.
- 1769
- 01:29:34,760 --> 01:29:36,876
- Far too long.
- 1770
- 01:29:36,960 --> 01:29:40,509
- Cappy, this is Frank here's
- first plane ride.
- 1771
- 01:29:42,000 --> 01:29:43,040
- I wanna make it memorable.
- 1772
- 01:29:43,120 --> 01:29:44,872
- - Everything ready?
- - Yes, sir.
- 1773
- 01:29:44,960 --> 01:29:46,029
- Here we go.
- 1774
- 01:29:46,680 --> 01:29:47,680
- We got banana nut?
- 1775
- 01:29:48,720 --> 01:29:49,550
- Have we...
- 1776
- 01:29:49,640 --> 01:29:51,517
- - Uh...
- - A pint and a half, sir.
- 1777
- 01:29:51,600 --> 01:29:52,749
- Pint and a half.
- 1778
- 01:29:52,840 --> 01:29:55,229
- Finally! It's been far too long!
- 1779
- 01:29:55,320 --> 01:29:57,231
- Far too long.
- 1780
- 01:29:57,320 --> 01:29:58,435
- Spoons.
- 1781
- 01:30:07,440 --> 01:30:08,800
- President Somoza is coming aboard!
- 1782
- 01:30:08,840 --> 01:30:10,034
- Mr. Hughes!
- 1783
- 01:30:10,120 --> 01:30:12,156
- Welcome to Nicaragua.
- 1784
- 01:30:12,240 --> 01:30:15,118
- You look incredible!
- 1785
- 01:30:15,200 --> 01:30:16,997
- - You look wonderful.
- - Thank you. So do you.
- 1786
- 01:30:17,080 --> 01:30:18,638
- - You have not aged.
- - Thank you.
- 1787
- 01:30:20,400 --> 01:30:21,800
- I wanna know
- what you're doing in...
- 1788
- 01:30:24,920 --> 01:30:26,911
- There's an important message for you.
- 1789
- 01:30:29,760 --> 01:30:32,638
- "The United States
- Federal Court decided today...
- 1790
- 01:30:34,080 --> 01:30:36,116
- "...in the case of TWA...
- 1791
- 01:30:39,120 --> 01:30:41,680
- "...a judgment of $645 million
- 1792
- 01:30:41,760 --> 01:30:43,239
- "against Howard Hughes...
- 1793
- 01:30:44,880 --> 01:30:46,393
- "...who refused to appear."
- 1794
- 01:30:48,560 --> 01:30:50,437
- This cannot be good.
- 1795
- 01:30:51,480 --> 01:30:52,600
- They think I'll have to sell
- 1796
- 01:30:52,640 --> 01:30:54,471
- the Hughes Tool Company to pay it?
- 1797
- 01:30:54,560 --> 01:30:56,516
- I'll never sell my daddy's company.
- 1798
- 01:30:56,600 --> 01:30:58,192
- My daddy would say it's time to call
- 1799
- 01:30:58,280 --> 01:30:59,759
- Raymond Holliday down in Houston.
- 1800
- 01:30:59,840 --> 01:31:01,239
- Get him to come down here.
- 1801
- 01:31:08,760 --> 01:31:09,760
- So...
- 1802
- 01:31:09,840 --> 01:31:10,716
- I just want you to know
- 1803
- 01:31:10,800 --> 01:31:12,870
- I don't think you're doing
- the wrong thing.
- 1804
- 01:31:13,760 --> 01:31:15,273
- And I am so relieved
- 1805
- 01:31:15,360 --> 01:31:17,555
- that you're not
- going back to Hollywood.
- 1806
- 01:31:17,640 --> 01:31:20,393
- Mom, I haven't told another
- living soul about this.
- 1807
- 01:31:20,480 --> 01:31:22,357
- Doctor Diamond is a good man,
- 1808
- 01:31:23,400 --> 01:31:24,992
- and he's coming in on a Sunday.
- 1809
- 01:31:25,560 --> 01:31:26,834
- So, shall we go?
- 1810
- 01:31:28,040 --> 01:31:30,110
- Now, when you were 10 years old,
- 1811
- 01:31:30,200 --> 01:31:32,016
- when you used to come down
- to your daddy's factory...
- 1812
- 01:31:32,040 --> 01:31:34,076
- Raymond, my daddy always trusted me
- 1813
- 01:31:34,160 --> 01:31:35,388
- to take care of things.
- 1814
- 01:31:35,560 --> 01:31:37,296
- Now, trying to take care
- of the Hughes Tool Company
- 1815
- 01:31:37,320 --> 01:31:38,230
- at a time like this.
- 1816
- 01:31:38,320 --> 01:31:40,016
- That's like trying to
- take care of my daddy.
- 1817
- 01:31:40,040 --> 01:31:41,951
- You're not your
- daddy's father, Howard.
- 1818
- 01:31:42,040 --> 01:31:43,234
- Your daddy's dead.
- 1819
- 01:31:43,320 --> 01:31:44,320
- No, he's not.
- 1820
- 01:31:45,520 --> 01:31:47,351
- He's in my DNA.
- 1821
- 01:31:47,480 --> 01:31:48,708
- Oh, Lord!
- 1822
- 01:31:49,200 --> 01:31:50,480
- You know, you're gonna die, too.
- 1823
- 01:31:51,480 --> 01:31:54,677
- Who you gonna leave it to?
- Whose DNA you gonna be in?
- 1824
- 01:31:54,760 --> 01:31:56,398
- In my opinion,
- if you don't sign it now,
- 1825
- 01:31:56,480 --> 01:31:57,959
- they're gonna do what they said.
- 1826
- 01:31:58,600 --> 01:32:01,398
- They're gonna withdraw the offer
- to buy the damn company.
- 1827
- 01:32:06,280 --> 01:32:08,191
- So, if I sign this thing,
- would they still keep
- 1828
- 01:32:08,280 --> 01:32:10,032
- the Hughes name on the company?
- 1829
- 01:32:12,040 --> 01:32:14,554
- You don't drill for oil
- with a name, Howard.
- 1830
- 01:32:24,040 --> 01:32:25,656
- You know, I'm planning on
- doing a little flyin'.
- 1831
- 01:32:25,680 --> 01:32:26,908
- Do you wanna come?
- 1832
- 01:32:27,320 --> 01:32:29,515
- - Do a little flyin'?
- - Hmm.
- 1833
- 01:32:31,240 --> 01:32:32,468
- What?
- 1834
- 01:32:33,080 --> 01:32:34,354
- I'm just not sure...
- 1835
- 01:32:34,440 --> 01:32:36,954
- ...you ought to be thinkin'
- about flyin' anymore, Howard.
- 1836
- 01:32:40,600 --> 01:32:41,794
- Come on in, Frank.
- 1837
- 01:32:51,800 --> 01:32:54,394
- Okay. Please give this
- to the gentleman, and
- 1838
- 01:32:54,480 --> 01:32:56,357
- tell him that I have asked him
- 1839
- 01:32:56,440 --> 01:32:58,556
- to please consider
- 1840
- 01:32:58,640 --> 01:33:00,631
- keeping my father's name
- on the company.
- 1841
- 01:33:10,240 --> 01:33:11,468
- This is signed.
- 1842
- 01:33:11,560 --> 01:33:13,256
- Mr. Hughes has asked you
- to consider keeping
- 1843
- 01:33:13,280 --> 01:33:14,838
- his father's name on the company.
- 1844
- 01:33:23,880 --> 01:33:25,360
- I notice you don't say grace anymore.
- 1845
- 01:33:26,880 --> 01:33:28,560
- I don't mean to be negative,
- but do we live
- 1846
- 01:33:28,600 --> 01:33:29,635
- in Nicaragua now?
- 1847
- 01:33:31,840 --> 01:33:34,912
- Although, I am kinda getting
- to like Managua.
- 1848
- 01:33:56,120 --> 01:33:57,120
- Wave, Frank.
- 1849
- 01:34:14,320 --> 01:34:16,515
- Whoo. Let's keep it going.
- 1850
- 01:34:44,560 --> 01:34:45,913
- Don't worry, don't worry!
- 1851
- 01:34:46,000 --> 01:34:47,877
- I know how to handle earthquakes!
- 1852
- 01:34:49,000 --> 01:34:50,000
- We're going to London.
- 1853
- 01:34:56,320 --> 01:34:58,520
- Check out the tax setup,
- Frank, and get me some codeine.
- 1854
- 01:35:04,840 --> 01:35:06,376
- The University of Virginia's
- going coed.
- 1855
- 01:35:06,400 --> 01:35:07,680
- They're finally letting women in
- 1856
- 01:35:07,760 --> 01:35:09,478
- so I might even go for a doctorate
- 1857
- 01:35:09,560 --> 01:35:10,959
- and do my dissertation on music.
- 1858
- 01:35:11,040 --> 01:35:11,870
- Good for you.
- 1859
- 01:35:11,960 --> 01:35:14,155
- Thanks for not throwing
- my things away, Nadine.
- 1860
- 01:35:14,240 --> 01:35:16,071
- I had no idea where to send them.
- 1861
- 01:35:18,400 --> 01:35:19,720
- Where do we call you in Virginia?
- 1862
- 01:35:24,400 --> 01:35:25,833
- Maybe it's better if I call you.
- 1863
- 01:35:32,520 --> 01:35:33,839
- Therefore, the percentages noted
- 1864
- 01:35:33,920 --> 01:35:35,478
- in the column were percentage of...
- 1865
- 01:35:38,600 --> 01:35:41,080
- Frank, we've been
- in London too long with no fun.
- 1866
- 01:35:41,160 --> 01:35:43,469
- I want you
- at the Gatwick Airport in 45 minutes
- 1867
- 01:35:43,560 --> 01:35:45,551
- in the DC-3.
- 1868
- 01:35:50,840 --> 01:35:53,912
- Give the man some credit.
- He knows he can't fly.
- 1869
- 01:35:58,800 --> 01:35:59,869
- Mr. Hughes!
- 1870
- 01:35:59,960 --> 01:36:02,474
- So happy to finally meet you
- in person, sir. At last!
- 1871
- 01:36:02,560 --> 01:36:04,656
- I'm sure you need
- no introduction to the DC-3. This one,
- 1872
- 01:36:04,680 --> 01:36:05,510
- of course, is equipped with
- 1873
- 01:36:05,600 --> 01:36:08,672
- the Pratt & Whitney R-1830
- Twin Wasp engines,
- 1874
- 01:36:08,760 --> 01:36:11,558
- - which improve...
- - I know the DC-3 very well.
- 1875
- 01:36:12,200 --> 01:36:13,030
- Um...
- 1876
- 01:36:13,160 --> 01:36:17,073
- Certainly an improvement over the
- original Cyclone 9s which were wanting
- 1877
- 01:36:17,160 --> 01:36:19,096
- - in the old oomph department.
- - Where to, gentlemen?
- 1878
- 01:36:19,120 --> 01:36:20,155
- Where do we go?
- 1879
- 01:36:21,360 --> 01:36:24,113
- I don't know, sir.
- If we are heading east,
- 1880
- 01:36:24,200 --> 01:36:27,397
- then that would be northern
- France, possibly Belgium.
- 1881
- 01:36:27,480 --> 01:36:29,550
- What do you think,
- wing commander? Belgian waffles?
- 1882
- 01:36:29,640 --> 01:36:30,789
- How does it sound?
- 1883
- 01:36:31,200 --> 01:36:32,553
- Uh, I don't know.
- 1884
- 01:36:32,680 --> 01:36:34,680
- All right, never mind.
- You want a chicken sandwich?
- 1885
- 01:36:34,760 --> 01:36:36,193
- - Not hungry.
- - Not hungry. Okay.
- 1886
- 01:36:36,280 --> 01:36:38,080
- How about you? Do you want
- a chicken sandwich?
- 1887
- 01:36:38,160 --> 01:36:40,037
- - No, thank you.
- - I got three.
- 1888
- 01:36:40,120 --> 01:36:41,872
- - I'm fine. Just eaten.
- - No?
- 1889
- 01:36:43,000 --> 01:36:46,231
- Did you know that
- you're 20% less likely to black out
- 1890
- 01:36:46,360 --> 01:36:48,191
- during a dive when you're my age?
- 1891
- 01:36:48,320 --> 01:36:50,675
- Because the arteries
- are less expansive.
- 1892
- 01:36:53,280 --> 01:36:54,110
- No, I didn't know it, sir.
- 1893
- 01:36:54,200 --> 01:36:55,315
- Remember that.
- 1894
- 01:36:55,400 --> 01:36:57,118
- - Something to look forward to.
- - Yes!
- 1895
- 01:36:57,200 --> 01:36:58,553
- Okay, let's go.
- 1896
- 01:37:02,680 --> 01:37:05,478
- I think we may have a door still open.
- 1897
- 01:37:05,560 --> 01:37:08,518
- Relax! I like it like that!
- Just close the cockpit.
- 1898
- 01:37:09,520 --> 01:37:11,351
- Gentlemen, you ain't
- seen nothin' yet.
- 1899
- 01:37:11,440 --> 01:37:13,396
- You know that line
- Al Jolson used to use,
- 1900
- 01:37:13,480 --> 01:37:14,754
- "You ain't heard nothin' yet"?
- 1901
- 01:37:14,840 --> 01:37:16,512
- First time he ever sang it,
- I saw him
- 1902
- 01:37:16,640 --> 01:37:18,119
- upstairs on the roof
- 1903
- 01:37:18,200 --> 01:37:19,758
- at the Amsterdam Theatre.
- And it was
- 1904
- 01:37:19,840 --> 01:37:21,034
- a big charity show.
- 1905
- 01:37:21,120 --> 01:37:24,032
- Everybody's big stars,
- big stars, and Jolson says,
- 1906
- 01:37:24,120 --> 01:37:25,678
- "I gotta close the show,
- 1907
- 01:37:25,760 --> 01:37:27,637
- "because I'm the world's
- greatest entertainer
- 1908
- 01:37:27,720 --> 01:37:30,029
- "and nobody, but nobody,
- follows Jolson."
- 1909
- 01:37:30,120 --> 01:37:31,519
- Well, everybody said,
- 1910
- 01:37:31,600 --> 01:37:33,033
- "Okay, Jolson, you're the greatest.
- 1911
- 01:37:33,120 --> 01:37:34,269
- "You close the show."
- 1912
- 01:37:34,360 --> 01:37:35,952
- There was only one problem though.
- 1913
- 01:37:36,040 --> 01:37:37,996
- Jolson didn't know
- who he was following.
- 1914
- 01:37:38,120 --> 01:37:39,792
- Caruso.
- 1915
- 01:37:39,880 --> 01:37:42,792
- He's gotta get up and sing
- after Enrico Caruso,
- 1916
- 01:37:42,880 --> 01:37:45,075
- the world's greatest voice! Ha!
- 1917
- 01:37:45,160 --> 01:37:47,230
- So, Caruso comes out,
- he's singing in Italian.
- 1918
- 01:37:47,320 --> 01:37:48,878
- The audience just goes crazy.
- 1919
- 01:37:48,960 --> 01:37:50,136
- They go crazy.
- 1920
- 01:37:50,160 --> 01:37:51,912
- They're on their feet cheering.
- 1921
- 01:37:52,000 --> 01:37:53,558
- They won't sit down,
- they're cheering!
- 1922
- 01:37:54,560 --> 01:37:55,390
- Caruso goes off,
- 1923
- 01:37:55,480 --> 01:37:56,356
- Jolson comes out.
- 1924
- 01:37:56,440 --> 01:37:57,760
- But he can't get them to shut up,
- 1925
- 01:37:57,800 --> 01:37:59,153
- because they want more Caruso.
- 1926
- 01:37:59,240 --> 01:38:00,798
- And finally Jolson shuts them up.
- 1927
- 01:38:00,880 --> 01:38:03,110
- He makes them sit down
- and that's when he says it.
- 1928
- 01:38:03,200 --> 01:38:06,636
- He says, "You know,
- you ain't heard nothing yet!"
- 1929
- 01:38:06,720 --> 01:38:07,856

- 01:39:02,720 --> 01:39:04,199
- You know what
- I'm thinking, Frank?
- 1951
- 01:39:04,280 --> 01:39:06,555
- I am thinking that
- it's time for me to buy
- 1952
- 01:39:06,640 --> 01:39:07,675
- Pan American Airlines!
- 1953
- 01:39:07,760 --> 01:39:09,512
- You ain't heard nothin' yet!
- 1954
- 01:39:15,240 --> 01:39:17,834
- Hey, where you goin'?
- Come back here.
- 1955
- 01:39:17,920 --> 01:39:20,480
- Well, tell hotel security
- to tell the mother...
- 1956
- 01:39:20,600 --> 01:39:22,480
- Yes, there's three of them.
- They're all up here.
- 1957
- 01:39:25,200 --> 01:39:26,349
- Whoa, whoa, whoa.
- 1958
- 01:39:27,040 --> 01:39:27,916
- Go this way.
- 1959
- 01:39:28,000 --> 01:39:29,956
- I have no idea how they got in.
- 1960
- 01:39:31,680 --> 01:39:33,352
- Come on, kid. Please!
- 1961
- 01:39:34,360 --> 01:39:36,715
- You gotta get out of here. Kid.
- 1962
- 01:39:36,800 --> 01:39:39,030
- I know where you are, kid.
- Please come out.
- 1963
- 01:39:39,680 --> 01:39:41,200
- Please. Your mother
- is waiting for you.
- 1964
- 01:39:41,880 --> 01:39:42,880
- Mr. Hughes!
- 1965
- 01:39:43,440 --> 01:39:44,440
- Mr. Hughes,
- 1966
- 01:39:44,480 --> 01:39:45,595
- we have wonderful news!
- 1967
- 01:39:45,680 --> 01:39:48,319
- The court of appeals
- has reversed the TWA judgment.
- 1968
- 01:39:48,400 --> 01:39:49,594
- You get all the money back!
- 1969
- 01:39:49,680 --> 01:39:52,831
- Levar! Are you actually
- so bird-brained
- 1970
- 01:39:52,920 --> 01:39:54,056
- you think I didn't know that?
- 1971
- 01:39:54,080 --> 01:39:55,559
- I get up earlier than you do.
- 1972
- 01:39:55,640 --> 01:39:56,675
- Hey, look at you.
- 1973
- 01:39:56,800 --> 01:39:57,800
- - What's your name?
- - Hi.
- 1974
- 01:39:57,840 --> 01:39:59,216
- - Tommy.
- - Would you like some ice cream?
- 1975
- 01:39:59,240 --> 01:40:01,754
- It'd be good for you!
- Come on, let's go!
- 1976
- 01:40:02,400 --> 01:40:03,719
- Come on, kid. We gotta go.
- 1977
- 01:40:03,800 --> 01:40:04,816
- But he might like some ice cream.
- 1978
- 01:40:04,840 --> 01:40:06,159
- Well, his mother is very upset.
- 1979
- 01:40:06,240 --> 01:40:08,176
- Why did you talk to his mother?
- He might have wanted ice cream.
- 1980
- 01:40:08,200 --> 01:40:09,536
- Wait out in the hall or somethin'.
- 1981
- 01:40:09,560 --> 01:40:11,039
- Why did you talk to his mother?
- 1982
- 01:40:11,120 --> 01:40:13,111
- I didn't talk to the mother.
- I talked to security.
- 1983
- 01:40:13,200 --> 01:40:14,480
- You always say to keep kids out.
- 1984
- 01:40:14,520 --> 01:40:16,033
- Why did you talk to security?
- 1985
- 01:40:16,120 --> 01:40:17,997
- Because that's my job!
- 1986
- 01:40:18,080 --> 01:40:19,354
- - That is your job?
- - Yes!
- 1987
- 01:40:19,440 --> 01:40:20,656
- You're telling me what your job is?
- 1988
- 01:40:20,680 --> 01:40:22,159
- Yes! That is my job!
- 1989
- 01:40:22,240 --> 01:40:23,736
- Your job is to tell me
- what your job is!
- 1990
- 01:40:23,760 --> 01:40:25,637
- - Are you deaf?
- - What?
- 1991
- 01:40:25,720 --> 01:40:28,757
- You are deaf. You're deaf!
- And you're old.
- 1992
- 01:40:28,840 --> 01:40:30,592
- You're very old,
- and you're very deaf!
- 1993
- 01:40:30,680 --> 01:40:32,136
- You calling me old and deaf?
- 1994
- 01:40:32,160 --> 01:40:34,515
- You're deaf, and you're old!
- And very deaf, and very old!
- 1995
- 01:40:34,600 --> 01:40:35,999
- You do not know
- what your job is.
- 1996
- 01:40:36,080 --> 01:40:37,936
- No, I know what my job is!
- You do not know what my job is!
- 1997
- 01:40:37,960 --> 01:40:39,136
- You don't know what your job is!
- 1998
- 01:40:39,160 --> 01:40:40,296
- I know my job! I know my job!
- 1999
- 01:40:40,320 --> 01:40:41,736
- - You know what your job is?
- - I know what my job is!
- 2000
- 01:40:41,760 --> 01:40:42,795
- You know, it's "was."
- 2001
- 01:40:42,880 --> 01:40:43,880
- - Is.
- - Was.
- 2002
- 01:40:43,960 --> 01:40:45,279
- - Is. Is. Is.
- - Was. Was.
- 2003
- 01:40:45,360 --> 01:40:46,190
- - Was?
- - No, was.
- 2004
- 01:40:46,280 --> 01:40:48,236
- - Was?
- - Was. That was your job.
- 2005
- 01:40:49,600 --> 01:40:50,635
- Get out.
- 2006
- 01:40:51,200 --> 01:40:52,553
- Sir, the mother's very upset.
- 2007
- 01:40:54,400 --> 01:40:55,400
- Get out.
- 2008
- 01:41:16,440 --> 01:41:18,874
- Take 14 days to make a decision
- on Mulholland Canyon.
- 2009
- 01:41:18,960 --> 01:41:21,040
- Levar and I are gonna do it
- whether you do it or not.
- 2010
- 01:41:21,200 --> 01:41:23,191
- I know it's hard for you
- to trust people,
- 2011
- 01:41:23,280 --> 01:41:26,511
- but Levar is rooting for you
- no matter how nutty you get.
- 2012
- 01:41:26,640 --> 01:41:29,279
- It would be a big advantage for us
- to be in business with you,
- 2013
- 01:41:29,360 --> 01:41:31,960
- but it might be a big advantage
- for you to be in business with us.
- 2014
- 01:41:32,280 --> 01:41:33,110
- If you decide not to,
- 2015
- 01:41:33,200 --> 01:41:37,034
- I can only respectfully
- accept your decision and resign.
- 2016
- 01:41:38,520 --> 01:41:39,350
- Do you realize
- 2017
- 01:41:39,440 --> 01:41:42,432
- that your drug addiction
- not only makes you more constipated,
- 2018
- 01:41:42,520 --> 01:41:43,873
- it makes you crazier?
- 2019
- 01:41:45,040 --> 01:41:47,474
- But since no one who works
- for you, including me,
- 2020
- 01:41:47,560 --> 01:41:49,118
- will put their job on the line
- 2021
- 01:41:49,200 --> 01:41:51,395
- to try to keep you
- from killing yourself,
- 2022
- 01:41:51,480 --> 01:41:53,038
- then maybe your wealth
- 2023
- 01:41:53,120 --> 01:41:55,236
- isn't always the best thing
- for your health.
- 2024
- 01:42:10,760 --> 01:42:12,990
- Frank, how come you never
- talk about your daddy?
- 2025
- 01:42:13,080 --> 01:42:13,990
- What?
- 2026
- 01:42:14,080 --> 01:42:17,231
- You never talk about
- your daddy. How come?
- 2027
- 01:42:28,640 --> 01:42:31,154
- I could always tell my mother
- how much I loved her, but I...
- 2028
- 01:42:32,440 --> 01:42:34,556
- I couldn't tell my daddy
- that well...
- 2029
- 01:42:35,120 --> 01:42:36,838
- I don't know.
- 2030
- 01:42:40,600 --> 01:42:41,794
- But I miss my daddy.
- 2031
- 01:42:48,360 --> 01:42:50,237
- I wish I could just talk to him.
- 2032
- 01:43:11,080 --> 01:43:14,470
- You know, I think I never had a kid
- 2033
- 01:43:14,760 --> 01:43:17,638
- because I was afraid
- that would make me feel old.
- 2034
- 01:43:23,320 --> 01:43:25,231
- Remember the night we went out to
- 2035
- 01:43:25,320 --> 01:43:29,108
- sit and look at the plane,
- and had the burgers, you know?
- 2036
- 01:43:31,240 --> 01:43:32,400
- It was a hell of a hamburger.
- 2037
- 01:43:44,640 --> 01:43:46,676
- Do you still believe in
- 2038
- 01:43:47,800 --> 01:43:51,190
- what the church tells you to believe,
- 2039
- 01:43:51,720 --> 01:43:52,869
- like...
- 2040
- 01:43:54,360 --> 01:43:55,679
- In heaven and...
- 2041
- 01:43:59,520 --> 01:44:01,397
- I don't know, Mr. Hughes.
- 2042
- 01:44:01,480 --> 01:44:02,708
- Yeah, me either.
- 2043
- 01:44:04,200 --> 01:44:05,428
- I just...
- 2044
- 01:44:09,720 --> 01:44:13,235
- I don't wanna do what a person
- has to do to find out.
- 2045
- 01:44:14,640 --> 01:44:15,789
- Um...
- 2046
- 01:44:15,880 --> 01:44:18,474
- All right, look,
- I'll do Mulholland Canyon with you.
- 2047
- 01:44:18,560 --> 01:44:21,757
- And I'll do it big. But I just
- got... Under one condition.
- 2048
- 01:44:24,480 --> 01:44:25,595
- From now on,
- 2049
- 01:44:27,840 --> 01:44:28,955
- will you call me Howard?
- 2050
- 01:44:33,040 --> 01:44:34,314
- Yeah!
- 2051
- 01:45:03,040 --> 01:45:04,320
- We are standing by
- 2052
- 01:45:04,400 --> 01:45:05,992
- for a telephone call from legendary
- 2053
- 01:45:06,080 --> 01:45:08,640
- billionaire Howard Hughes,
- which could debunk a writer's claim...
- 2054
- 01:45:08,680 --> 01:45:11,194
- The writer that was mentioned
- earlier, Richard Miskin,
- 2055
- 01:45:11,280 --> 01:45:12,816
- claims to have had access
- to Howard Hughes.
- 2056
- 01:45:12,840 --> 01:45:13,976
- And during that time, he says
- 2057
- 01:45:14,000 --> 01:45:15,376
- that Hughes could not
- remember anything,
- 2058
- 01:45:15,400 --> 01:45:17,277
- was incoherent, and unable
- 2059
- 01:45:17,360 --> 01:45:18,395
- to function.
- 2060
- 01:45:18,480 --> 01:45:21,074
- And that Hughes is in
- a permanent state of dementia.
- 2061
- 01:45:21,200 --> 01:45:23,077
- The location of Howard Hughes
- 2062
- 01:45:23,160 --> 01:45:24,673
- is still a complete mystery to us.
- 2063
- 01:45:24,760 --> 01:45:26,536
- It will be
- a major problem for Hughes...
- 2064
- 01:45:26,560 --> 01:45:27,816
- - Yeah.
- - ...if he doesn't call us
- 2065
- 01:45:27,840 --> 01:45:29,512
- as promised
- by the Hughes organization,
- 2066
- 01:45:29,600 --> 01:45:31,238
- and defend himself against
- 2067
- 01:45:31,320 --> 01:45:32,992
- the charges in Miskin's book.
- 2068
- 01:45:33,080 --> 01:45:35,150
- One of
- the pioneers who helped in...
- 2069
- 01:45:35,240 --> 01:45:36,070
- Howard.
- 2070
- 01:45:36,160 --> 01:45:37,434
- ...was Howard Hughes.
- 2071
- 01:45:37,560 --> 01:45:39,790
- He's one of the most
- influential individuals
- 2072
- 01:45:39,880 --> 01:45:41,711
- of the last quarter century.
- 2073
- 01:45:41,800 --> 01:45:44,598
- Well, if she won't
- even tell you her name...
- 2074
- 01:45:44,680 --> 01:45:46,376
- Hughes was romantically linked
- 2075
- 01:45:46,400 --> 01:45:47,816
- to several young actresses
- over the years...
- 2076
- 01:45:47,840 --> 01:45:48,909
- Yeah.
- 2077
- 01:45:51,400 --> 01:45:52,958
- Okay.
- 2078
- 01:45:53,040 --> 01:45:55,918
- ...manufactured
- a 25 million dollar flying boat.
- 2079
- 01:45:58,840 --> 01:46:00,576
- Meanwhile,
- we're told that the writer,
- 2080
- 01:46:00,600 --> 01:46:02,989
- Richard Miskin,
- may speak to us soon.
- 2081
- 01:46:13,200 --> 01:46:15,350
- She's okay, guys. I got this.
- 2082
- 01:46:15,440 --> 01:46:17,237
- These guys do their job.
- 2083
- 01:46:17,320 --> 01:46:18,320
- Yeah, well...
- 2084
- 01:46:19,040 --> 01:46:20,040
- They're new.
- 2085
- 01:46:21,520 --> 01:46:23,192
- Why didn't you tell anybody
- who you were?
- 2086
- 01:46:23,280 --> 01:46:24,976
- Well, the last conversation
- I had with Howard
- 2087
- 01:46:25,000 --> 01:46:26,149
- wasn't very pleasant.
- 2088
- 01:46:26,240 --> 01:46:28,629
- I have something to tell him
- before he talks to the press.
- 2089
- 01:46:29,520 --> 01:46:30,669
- Matt?
- 2090
- 01:46:33,320 --> 01:46:35,914
- Matt, this is Levar.
- Levar, this is Matt.
- 2091
- 01:46:36,000 --> 01:46:38,594
- - Hi.
- - Hello, Matt.
- 2092
- 01:46:39,520 --> 01:46:40,520
- Hi.
- 2093
- 01:46:41,360 --> 01:46:44,272
- We have here the writer
- of the book, Richard Miskin.
- 2094
- 01:46:44,360 --> 01:46:47,318
- Mr. Miskin, Hughes' people say
- your book is a fake.
- 2095
- 01:46:47,400 --> 01:46:50,517
- That he has never met
- or even spoken with you.
- 2096
- 01:46:50,600 --> 01:46:53,433
- I don't think you'll
- hear Mr. Hughes say that
- 2097
- 01:46:53,520 --> 01:46:54,999
- or anything else much.
- 2098
- 01:46:55,080 --> 01:46:57,674
- I don't think you're going
- to be hearing from him.
- 2099
- 01:46:57,760 --> 01:46:59,398
- I doubt he even
- remembers the book.
- 2100
- 01:46:59,480 --> 01:47:01,038
- Let me ask you again...
- 2101
- 01:47:01,120 --> 01:47:02,616
- Sir, Howard Hughes
- is a disturbed creature.
- 2102
- 01:47:02,640 --> 01:47:04,073
- And my heart goes out to him.
- 2103
- 01:47:04,160 --> 01:47:06,720
- But if it is upon
- his flimsy recollection
- 2104
- 01:47:06,800 --> 01:47:08,836
- that you're hinging your reportage,
- 2105
- 01:47:10,280 --> 01:47:11,633
- then good luck to you.
- 2106
- 01:47:11,720 --> 01:47:13,358
- That's all I have to say.
- 2107
- 01:47:13,440 --> 01:47:14,793
- Good afternoon.
- 2108
- 01:47:14,880 --> 01:47:16,677
- Thank you, Mr. Miskin.
- 2109
- 01:47:16,760 --> 01:47:18,273
- And now back to you.
- 2110
- 01:47:18,360 --> 01:47:21,193
- Do we know what
- qualified experts have to say
- 2111
- 01:47:21,280 --> 01:47:25,068
- about the psychiatric
- implications of Mr. Hughes',
- 2112
- 01:47:25,160 --> 01:47:27,469
- uh, reclusive behavior?
- 2113
- 01:47:27,560 --> 01:47:28,736
- One could speculate...
- 2114
- 01:47:28,760 --> 01:47:30,432
- Howard.
- 2115
- 01:47:30,520 --> 01:47:31,656
- ...possibly catatonic at this point.
- 2116
- 01:47:31,680 --> 01:47:33,272
- No one seems to know.
- 2117
- 01:47:33,360 --> 01:47:34,776
- That could have a bearing
- 2118
- 01:47:34,800 --> 01:47:37,268
- on a lot of his business interests.
- 2119
- 01:47:37,360 --> 01:47:40,238
- It could affect his defense
- contracts, for example.
- 2120
- 01:47:40,320 --> 01:47:41,833
- A long list,
- 2121
- 01:47:41,920 --> 01:47:43,456
- including the Hughes
- Medical Foundation, right?
- 2122
- 01:47:43,480 --> 01:47:44,856
- The Hughes casino licenses
- 2123
- 01:47:44,880 --> 01:47:46,120
- in Las Vegas could be affected.
- 2124
- 01:47:46,200 --> 01:47:47,576
- And if this call
- does not come in soon...
- 2125
- 01:47:47,600 --> 01:47:49,158
- All right.
- 2126
- 01:47:49,240 --> 01:47:51,616
- Helicopter
- to the public and Air Force officers
- 2127
- 01:47:51,640 --> 01:47:53,551
- at Culver City, California.
- 2128
- 01:47:53,640 --> 01:47:57,076
- Powered by turbojet motors,
- the huge copter is designed
- 2129
- 01:47:57,160 --> 01:47:59,993
- primarily to lift great weights.
- It is the largest aircraft
- 2130
- 01:48:00,080 --> 01:48:01,638
- - of its kind known.
- - Hi.
- 2131
- 01:48:01,720 --> 01:48:03,119
- And when perfected, it's expected
- 2132
- 01:48:03,200 --> 01:48:04,872
- - to take off...
- - Long time.
- 2133
- 01:48:04,960 --> 01:48:06,376
- ...carry the load
- of a small freight car.
- 2134
- 01:48:06,400 --> 01:48:07,400
- Yeah, long time.
- 2135
- 01:48:07,480 --> 01:48:10,472
- ...upwards of a hundred persons.
- The copter itself...
- 2136
- 01:48:10,560 --> 01:48:11,720
- Hey, how about this guy, huh?
- 2137
- 01:48:11,800 --> 01:48:13,995
- ...pounds, and its
- rotating blades measure...
- 2138
- 01:48:14,080 --> 01:48:15,433
- Frank, this is my son, Matt.
- 2139
- 01:48:15,520 --> 01:48:17,590
- ...from tip to tip.
- 2140
- 01:48:17,720 --> 01:48:18,516
- Hi, Matt.
- 2141
- 01:48:18,600 --> 01:48:19,669
- Hi.
- 2142
- 01:48:20,440 --> 01:48:21,816
- Matt, when I first went to Hollywood,
- 2143
- 01:48:21,840 --> 01:48:22,896
- Frank picked up your grandmother
- 2144
- 01:48:22,920 --> 01:48:24,035
- and me at the plane.
- 2145
- 01:48:24,120 --> 01:48:26,440
- ...future of flight in all its varied
- and promising phases.
- 2146
- 01:48:26,520 --> 01:48:28,160
- What kind of ice cream
- have we got, Levar?
- 2147
- 01:48:28,200 --> 01:48:30,555
- I heard some talk about rum raisin.
- 2148
- 01:48:30,640 --> 01:48:31,640
- Here, Matt, I'll show you
- 2149
- 01:48:31,720 --> 01:48:32,755
- where the rum raisin is.
- 2150
- 01:48:32,840 --> 01:48:34,456
- ...phone call
- from billionaire Howard Hughes.
- 2151
- 01:48:34,480 --> 01:48:35,480
- Have a seat there, guys.
- 2152
- 01:48:35,520 --> 01:48:36,350
- Okay.
- 2153
- 01:48:36,440 --> 01:48:38,954
- ...a writer by
- the name of Richard Miskin,
- 2154
- 01:48:39,040 --> 01:48:41,031
- that Hughes is unable
- to remember anything...
- 2155
- 01:48:41,160 --> 01:48:42,160
- I talked to Mamie Murphy.
- 2156
- 01:48:42,200 --> 01:48:44,111
- She knows Richard Miskin.
- 2157
- 01:48:44,200 --> 01:48:46,111
- Howard may have
- some questions.
- 2158
- 01:48:46,200 --> 01:48:48,416
- ...historical footage
- featuring Howard Hughes's...
- 2159
- 01:48:48,440 --> 01:48:49,634
- It's good to see you, Marla.
- 2160
- 01:48:49,720 --> 01:48:51,256
- ...in aviation.
- 2161
- 01:48:51,280 --> 01:48:52,156
- For me, too.
- 2162
- 01:48:52,240 --> 01:48:55,550
- The 40-ton, 57 -passenger liner that...
- 2163
- 01:48:55,640 --> 01:48:56,993
- I'll let him know you're here.
- 2164
- 01:48:57,080 --> 01:48:58,296
- ...which has made
- a newtrans-continental,
- 2165
- 01:48:58,320 --> 01:49:00,038
- non-stop speed record
- 2166
- 01:49:00,760 --> 01:49:02,079
- Here's the start.
- 2167
- 01:49:02,160 --> 01:49:04,296
- ...what might be next
- for the Hughes organization,
- 2168
- 01:49:04,320 --> 01:49:08,677
- if Mr. Hughes never steps forward
- to defend himself against the claims
- 2169
- 01:49:08,760 --> 01:49:10,079
- in Mr. Miskin's book?
- 2170
- 01:49:10,160 --> 01:49:12,799
- Howard, Marla Mabrey has come here.
- 2171
- 01:49:12,880 --> 01:49:15,189
- She says she has something
- to tell you about Miskin.
- 2172
- 01:49:15,280 --> 01:49:16,474
- I told her I'd let you know.
- 2173
- 01:49:16,560 --> 01:49:18,520
- ...certainly
- going to be embarrassing
- 2174
- 01:49:18,600 --> 01:49:20,830
- for Hughes and his entire empire.
- 2175
- 01:49:20,920 --> 01:49:23,229
- How does one explain away the fact
- 2176
- 01:49:23,320 --> 01:49:25,550
- that the man can't even make
- a simple telephone call?
- 2177
- 01:49:25,640 --> 01:49:26,789
- Bring her in.
- 2178
- 01:49:26,880 --> 01:49:28,916
- I suppose they could
- 2179
- 01:49:29,040 --> 01:49:31,838
- still come out with some kind
- of alternative evidence.
- 2180
- 01:49:32,920 --> 01:49:34,672
- Struggling out of its
- swaddling clothes.
- 2181
- 01:49:34,760 --> 01:49:37,513
- And one of the pioneers who
- helped was Howard Hughes,
- 2182
- 01:49:37,600 --> 01:49:39,000
- still active in the industry today.
- 2183
- 01:49:39,080 --> 01:49:41,196
- As a stunt,
- the point of aviation speed...
- 2184
- 01:49:42,200 --> 01:49:43,576
- David,
- I'm looking at the clock
- 2185
- 01:49:43,600 --> 01:49:45,080
- and if the call doesn't come by 4:30,
- 2186
- 01:49:45,160 --> 01:49:46,639
- then it will be hard to defend
- 2187
- 01:49:46,720 --> 01:49:49,154
- Howard Hughes against the charges
- in Richard Miskin's book.
- 2188
- 01:49:49,240 --> 01:49:50,240
- Howard?
- 2189
- 01:49:50,280 --> 01:49:51,536
- The clock is ticking, David.
- 2190
- 01:49:51,560 --> 01:49:52,629
- Hello, Marla.
- 2191
- 01:49:52,720 --> 01:49:55,792
- Any thoughts
- as to what may happen...
- 2192
- 01:49:55,880 --> 01:49:56,880
- We've lost touch.
- 2193
- 01:49:57,880 --> 01:49:59,279
- I'm sorry I was in
- 2194
- 01:49:59,360 --> 01:50:02,113
- such a bad mood
- when you came to Las Vegas.
- 2195
- 01:50:03,240 --> 01:50:04,673
- When was that?
- 2196
- 01:50:04,760 --> 01:50:06,751
- Five years ago?
- 2197
- 01:50:08,240 --> 01:50:09,832
- I was not at my best.
- 2198
- 01:50:10,360 --> 01:50:11,270
- I know that, Howard.
- 2199
- 01:50:11,360 --> 01:50:12,190
- Neither was I.
- 2200
- 01:50:12,280 --> 01:50:14,953
- Mamie Murphy knows
- Richard Miskin very well.
- 2201
- 01:50:15,040 --> 01:50:17,554
- She told me that she was
- very sure he never met you.
- 2202
- 01:50:17,640 --> 01:50:19,437
- She'd testify
- if you wanted her to.
- 2203
- 01:50:19,520 --> 01:50:21,776
- ...go a long way
- towards debunking a writer's claim
- 2204
- 01:50:21,800 --> 01:50:24,030
- that he has written an...
- 2205
- 01:50:24,120 --> 01:50:25,519
- I came with my son.
- 2206
- 01:50:26,680 --> 01:50:30,912
- And has now gone into
- what could best be described as...
- 2207
- 01:50:31,000 --> 01:50:32,149
- Excuse me?
- 2208
- 01:50:32,240 --> 01:50:33,559
- I came with my son.
- 2209
- 01:50:35,160 --> 01:50:36,434
- He's in the living room.
- 2210
- 01:50:36,520 --> 01:50:38,476
- And there's another point to be...
- 2211
- 01:50:38,560 --> 01:50:39,788
- And the father?
- 2212
- 01:50:39,880 --> 01:50:41,359
- ...if Hughes does not
- 2213
- 01:50:41,440 --> 01:50:43,829
- prove that he's still alive,
- and there is some question
- 2214
- 01:50:43,920 --> 01:50:45,558
- as to whether he is.
- 2215
- 01:50:45,640 --> 01:50:47,676
- Just someone I took up with.
- It didn't last long.
- 2216
- 01:50:47,760 --> 01:50:49,796
- The call was, incidentally,
- 2217
- 01:50:49,880 --> 01:50:51,074
- supposed to come in at 4:00.
- 2218
- 01:50:51,160 --> 01:50:53,594
- Would you like me to meet your son?
- 2219
- 01:50:55,680 --> 01:50:56,680
- Sure.
- 2220
- 01:50:56,720 --> 01:50:57,896
- If that call were to come in
- 2221
- 01:50:57,920 --> 01:50:59,956
- within the next several minutes...
- 2222
- 01:51:01,040 --> 01:51:03,554
- Matt? You wanna meet Mr. Hughes?
- 2223
- 01:51:03,640 --> 01:51:06,313
- ...from New York
- to New York in four days.
- 2224
- 01:51:06,400 --> 01:51:08,356
- New aviation history is written.
- 2225
- 01:51:08,440 --> 01:51:11,716
- Howard Hughes
- simply does not allow himself
- 2226
- 01:51:11,800 --> 01:51:13,279
- to be seen by anyone.
- 2227
- 01:51:13,360 --> 01:51:15,351
- Howard, this is Matt.
- 2228
- 01:51:15,480 --> 01:51:17,856
- It'll be very,
- very difficult to defend Howard Hughes
- 2229
- 01:51:17,880 --> 01:51:18,790
- against the charges...
- 2230
- 01:51:18,880 --> 01:51:20,279
- Say hello to Mr. Hughes, Matt.
- 2231
- 01:51:21,080 --> 01:51:23,150
- Hello.
- 2232
- 01:51:23,280 --> 01:51:25,576
- ...covering him
- for a long, long time. As have you.
- 2233
- 01:51:25,600 --> 01:51:26,953
- How old are you, Matt?
- 2234
- 01:51:27,880 --> 01:51:28,710
- Four and a half.
- 2235
- 01:51:28,800 --> 01:51:30,597
- I'm curious
- as to what's going to become
- 2236
- 01:51:30,680 --> 01:51:32,160
- of the empire that he...
- 2237
- 01:51:45,880 --> 01:51:48,474
- You look like I thought you'd look.
- 2238
- 01:51:54,160 --> 01:51:55,673
- So do you.
- 2239
- 01:51:58,960 --> 01:52:00,120
- Why do you stay in this room?
- 2240
- 01:52:10,000 --> 01:52:12,560
- You know, I really
- should get out more.
- 2241
- 01:52:20,520 --> 01:52:22,351
- Okay, Frank, get Hollywood
- on the phone.
- 2242
- 01:52:24,280 --> 01:52:26,077
- Nadine, get Los Angeles, fast.
- 2243
- 01:52:26,160 --> 01:52:28,196
- They're still on the line, Frank!
- 2244
- 01:52:28,280 --> 01:52:29,998
- Get it, get it. I'm going to do this.
- 2245
- 01:52:31,080 --> 01:52:32,149
- Howard, you can just...
- 2246
- 01:52:32,240 --> 01:52:33,753
- Frank, they're still on the line!
- 2247
- 01:52:33,840 --> 01:52:35,120
- They're still on the line? Good.
- 2248
- 01:52:36,560 --> 01:52:38,312
- Matt, you wanna stick around
- for a while?
- 2249
- 01:52:41,560 --> 01:52:43,676
- Frank, where do I put it?
- 2250
- 01:52:44,800 --> 01:52:45,915
- - Do I pin this on?
- - Yeah.
- 2251
- 01:52:50,000 --> 01:52:51,752
- That goes around my neck?
- 2252
- 01:52:51,840 --> 01:52:52,750
- We are being told
- 2253
- 01:52:52,840 --> 01:52:55,673
- we will hear from
- Howard Hughes immediately.
- 2254
- 01:52:55,760 --> 01:52:57,352
- We are standing by.
- 2255
- 01:52:57,440 --> 01:52:58,656
- I think that's the man
- I'm gonna be talking to,
- 2256
- 01:52:58,680 --> 01:53:00,033
- - but we'll see...
- - Frank!
- 2257
- 01:53:00,600 --> 01:53:02,795
- This belongs to him. I'm sorry.
- 2258
- 01:53:04,640 --> 01:53:06,358
- Matt, I'll wait for you
- in the living room.
- 2259
- 01:53:08,120 --> 01:53:09,256
- If you just joined us,
- 2260
- 01:53:09,280 --> 01:53:11,111
- we're standing by for a phone call
- 2261
- 01:53:11,200 --> 01:53:12,872
- from billionaire Howard Hughes.
- 2262
- 01:53:12,960 --> 01:53:14,712
- We've been told the call
- is coming in...
- 2263
- 01:53:14,800 --> 01:53:17,096
- I'm told
- someone claiming to be Howard Hughes
- 2264
- 01:53:17,120 --> 01:53:18,678
- will be speaking to us momentarily,
- 2265
- 01:53:18,760 --> 01:53:20,751
- so we can assess whether he is indeed
- 2266
- 01:53:20,840 --> 01:53:22,512
- Howard Hughes.
- 2267
- 01:53:22,600 --> 01:53:24,477
- Are you there, Mr. Hughes?
- 2268
- 01:53:29,920 --> 01:53:31,558
- Good afternoon.
- 2269
- 01:53:31,640 --> 01:53:32,856
- Where are you speaking from, sir?
- 2270
- 01:53:32,880 --> 01:53:34,313
- I'm speaking from Acapulco,
- 2271
- 01:53:34,400 --> 01:53:37,358
- which is a city seaport
- in the state of Guerrero
- 2272
- 01:53:37,440 --> 01:53:39,829
- on the Pacific coast of Mexico.
- 2273
- 01:53:39,920 --> 01:53:43,469
- About 190 miles southwest
- of Mexico City,
- 2274
- 01:53:43,560 --> 01:53:47,030
- located on a deep, semicircular bay.
- 2275
- 01:53:47,120 --> 01:53:48,376
- I would say that the municipality
- 2276
- 01:53:48,400 --> 01:53:50,595
- has an area of about
- 2277
- 01:53:50,680 --> 01:53:52,272
- 726.9
- 2278
- 01:53:52,360 --> 01:53:53,475
- square miles and
- 2279
- 01:53:53,560 --> 01:53:56,791
- it is the largest city
- in the state. Far larger than
- 2280
- 01:53:56,880 --> 01:53:59,075
- the state capital, Chilpancingo.
- 2281
- 01:53:59,160 --> 01:54:01,549
- The name Acapulco
- comes from the Nahuatl
- 2282
- 01:54:01,640 --> 01:54:04,837
- language. It means
- "place of big reeds,"
- 2283
- 01:54:04,920 --> 01:54:06,069
- and that is where I am.
- 2284
- 01:54:06,160 --> 01:54:08,151
- Next question, please.
- 2285
- 01:54:08,240 --> 01:54:10,356
- Gene Handsaker,
- Associated Press. Tell us a little
- 2286
- 01:54:10,440 --> 01:54:11,634
- about the H-One.
- 2287
- 01:54:11,720 --> 01:54:13,438
- Well, we first called it "The Racer."
- 2288
- 01:54:13,520 --> 01:54:16,159
- It was designed by me in
- conjunction with Dick Palmer.
- 2289
- 01:54:16,240 --> 01:54:18,117
- We built it in a small building
- 2290
- 01:54:18,200 --> 01:54:20,873
- of what has now become
- the Lockheed terminal,
- 2291
- 01:54:20,960 --> 01:54:22,951
- and that, by the way, Gene Handsaker,
- 2292
- 01:54:23,040 --> 01:54:24,996
- is where you and I first met.
- 2293
- 01:54:25,080 --> 01:54:27,310
- This airplane had a metal fuselage
- 2294
- 01:54:27,400 --> 01:54:29,675
- with butt joints of which
- we were very proud.
- 2295
- 01:54:29,800 --> 01:54:30,869
- It had flush
- 2296
- 01:54:30,960 --> 01:54:33,758
- rivets which later became
- standard in the industry.
- 2297
- 01:54:33,840 --> 01:54:35,068
- It had a wooden wing
- 2298
- 01:54:35,160 --> 01:54:36,070
- which, of course, did not
- 2299
- 01:54:36,160 --> 01:54:37,536
- become standard,
- but it was the only thing
- 2300
- 01:54:37,560 --> 01:54:38,709
- at the time that had
- 2301
- 01:54:38,800 --> 01:54:41,519
- the smooth surface
- that we needed. As I say,
- 2302
- 01:54:41,600 --> 01:54:43,238
- a single engine,
- 2303
- 01:54:43,360 --> 01:54:46,033
- single-seat airplane,
- a beautiful little thing.
- 2304
- 01:54:46,120 --> 01:54:47,599
- I still have it, actually,
- 2305
- 01:54:47,680 --> 01:54:49,716
- out at the factory at Culver City.
- 2306
- 01:54:49,800 --> 01:54:51,711
- You should go out there
- sometime, Gene,
- 2307
- 01:54:51,800 --> 01:54:54,519
- and take a look at it.
- Next question, please.
- 2308
- 01:54:55,120 --> 01:54:58,430
- Gladwin Hill,
- for The New York Times.
- 2309
- 01:54:58,520 --> 01:55:00,511
- How well I know you, Mr. Hughes.
- 2310
- 01:55:01,160 --> 01:55:03,879
- How well do you know
- the book's writer, Richard Miskin?
- 2311
- 01:55:04,000 --> 01:55:05,558
- I don't know him.
- 2312
- 01:55:05,640 --> 01:55:07,915
- I've never seen him.
- I've never even heard of him
- 2313
- 01:55:08,000 --> 01:55:09,877
- until two days ago.
- 2314
- 01:55:10,880 --> 01:55:13,030
- Hi, Howard. Vernon Scott here.
- 2315
- 01:55:13,120 --> 01:55:15,096
- As soon as you started
- to talk, I knew it was Howard Hughes.
- 2316
- 01:55:15,120 --> 01:55:16,519
- Did you really wear tennis shoes
- 2317
- 01:55:16,600 --> 01:55:18,352
- with your tuxedo?
- 2318
- 01:55:18,440 --> 01:55:21,000
- Yeah, well, they were shoes made of
- 2319
- 01:55:21,080 --> 01:55:23,389
- sort of a non-strategic material.
- 2320
- 01:55:23,520 --> 01:55:26,034
- Kind of a canvas or imitation leather.
- 2321
- 01:55:26,120 --> 01:55:28,111
- I had a pair of these
- that I liked very much.
- 2322
- 01:55:28,200 --> 01:55:29,997
- I would wear them, and then they...
- 2323
- 01:55:30,080 --> 01:55:31,856
- Some people called them
- tennis shoes, but I...
- 2324
- 01:55:31,880 --> 01:55:34,553
- I don't think they had anything to do
- with being on a tennis court.
- 2325
- 01:55:34,640 --> 01:55:36,416
- Can I ask you
- a couple of questions
- 2326
- 01:55:36,440 --> 01:55:38,476
- relating to national security?
- 2327
- 01:55:38,560 --> 01:55:40,152
- Oh, I don't think so.
- 2328
- 01:55:40,240 --> 01:55:44,153
- You know, I don't care to appear
- in public very often, but...
- 2329
- 01:55:44,240 --> 01:55:46,470
- I really should get out more.
- 2330
- 01:55:49,000 --> 01:55:51,309
- But it has been a pleasure
- speaking to you, gentlemen.
- 2331
- 01:55:51,400 --> 01:55:52,958
- Any time. Good evening.
- 2332
- 01:55:55,880 --> 01:55:57,552
- I think that concludes
- 2333
- 01:55:57,640 --> 01:55:59,835
- our press conference. Thank you,
- 2334
- 01:55:59,920 --> 01:56:01,194
- Mr. Hughes.
- 2335
- 01:56:01,280 --> 01:56:03,635
- I think there's a publisher
- with a problem on his hands.
- 2336
- 01:56:03,720 --> 01:56:04,630
- You were really good.
- 2337
- 01:56:04,720 --> 01:56:06,472
- I have to go find my mom. Bye.
- 2338
- 01:56:06,560 --> 01:56:07,788
- Kid! Kid!
- 2339
- 01:56:08,160 --> 01:56:09,275
- Kid?
- 2340
- 01:56:15,760 --> 01:56:16,856
- Things are looking up, Frank.
- 2341
- 01:56:16,880 --> 01:56:18,711
- You did good.
- 2342
- 01:56:18,800 --> 01:56:20,233
- We're going back to Hollywood.
- 2343
- 01:56:20,320 --> 01:56:22,276
- I feel good!
- 2344
- 01:56:22,360 --> 01:56:23,936
- I think it's time to go home!
- You know...
- 2345
- 01:56:23,960 --> 01:56:25,109
- Howard...
- 2346
- 01:56:27,360 --> 01:56:28,720
- You've done a lot of great things,
- 2347
- 01:56:28,800 --> 01:56:30,560
- and you've done a lot
- of great things for me.
- 2348
- 01:56:30,640 --> 01:56:32,596
- I think it is time
- for you to go home.
- 2349
- 01:56:33,680 --> 01:56:35,272
- And I think it's time
- for me to move on.
- 2350
- 01:56:40,000 --> 01:56:41,558
- What?
- 2351
- 01:56:44,240 --> 01:56:45,468
- I'm quitting, Howard.
- 2352
- 01:56:56,000 --> 01:56:57,194
- Where'd they go?
- 2353
- 01:56:57,320 --> 01:56:58,514
- They kinda slipped out.
- 2354
- 01:57:00,000 --> 01:57:01,399
- Keep an eye on him, Levar.
- 2355
- 01:57:03,760 --> 01:57:05,352
- Frank?
- 2356
- 01:57:06,600 --> 01:57:07,635
- Frank?
- 2357
- 01:58:44,720 --> 01:58:46,160
- You think it's time
- we give it a try?
- 2358
- 01:59:26,280 --> 01:59:27,280
- Let's get Matt.
- 2359
- 01:59:48,320 --> 01:59:51,676
- Hey, you know what?
- I got a really good idea!
- 2360
- 01:59:56,040 --> 01:59:57,189
- What's in those bottles?
- 2361
- 01:59:57,280 --> 01:59:59,350
- That's water.
- 2362
- 02:00:00,400 --> 02:00:01,515
- From Maine.
- 2363
- 02:00:04,320 --> 02:00:05,355
- Water.
- 2364
- 02:00:06,320 --> 02:00:07,389
