00:00:00THE END
00:00:30THE END
00:01:00THE END
00:01:29I'd be interested in aviation.
00:01:31Yes, I am.
00:01:33Do you fly much?
00:01:35Only when my business makes it necessary.
00:01:37I wouldn't think of traveling any other way.
00:01:39You're not Amelia Earhart by any chance, are you?
00:01:42Flatter me.
00:01:43I do fly, though.
00:01:45That is, I have a pilot's license.
00:01:47I think your family would object.
00:01:49Not my family.
00:01:50We all fly.
00:01:51My brother's a pilot and my father builds airplanes.
00:01:54Sort of in the blood, huh?
00:01:56He's building a new ship right now.
00:01:57It's all ready for its test flight.
00:01:59We're just waiting for one more test pilot.
00:02:01Just what is a test pilot?
00:02:04Or flyer that tries out experimental airplanes.
00:02:08Sounds dangerous.
00:02:09It is.
00:02:10Every time a flyer takes up an ex-ship,
00:02:12that's what an experimental airplane is called.
00:02:14He's taking his life in his hands.
00:02:17Well, we're all right in this one, aren't we?
00:02:19Oh, certainly.
00:02:20This ship has an NC.
00:02:22An NC?
00:02:23Look out on your wing.
00:02:29Oh, NC, I understand.
00:02:31No crack-up, huh?
00:02:32Oh, I think you must know more about bicycles than you do about airplanes.
00:02:37An NC means that the Department of Commerce has seen this ship thoroughly tested
00:02:41and decided that it's safe for commercial use.
00:02:44Where do they test them?
00:02:45In the hangar?
00:02:47Well, hardly.
00:02:48They take them up 20,000 feet in the air,
00:02:51where nobody knows whether they'll fly or not.
00:02:53And they spin them, and they dive them,
00:02:56and they try to pull the wings off them.
00:02:58Nice way of making a living.
00:02:59If anyone earns his money, a test pilot does.
00:03:03It's not always a pretty story.
00:03:05Are you by any chance crusading for the erection of a monument
00:03:08to the unsung hero, the test pilot?
00:03:10Well, monuments have been erected to lesser heroes.
00:03:17Here he is.
00:03:23Speed, Kirk, speed.
00:03:40That's what a military ship must have today.
00:03:42And the way to get speed is to decrease resistance and weight.
00:03:44I agree, Colonel, but I think you're taking the weight out of the wrong place.
00:03:48We should take it out of the wing braces and the fittings,
00:03:50but not the motor mount.
00:03:51You're barking up the wrong tree, Kirk.
00:03:52The motor mount is the place to lose it.
00:03:54Well, it's a matter of opinion, Colonel.
00:03:56Don't forget, there's a thousand horsepower in that motor.
00:03:59That's an awful lot of power.
00:04:01Of course, I realize it's one of your pet theories,
00:04:04but I can't agree with it.
00:04:06Home from the wars.
00:04:07Marty.
00:04:08Well, lovely.
00:04:09Hello, Dad.
00:04:11It's good to see you again.
00:04:13You're sweet.
00:04:14Well, how about me?
00:04:17All right, how about you?
00:04:21Did you have a nice trip?
00:04:22It's marvelous.
00:04:24Now tell me that you missed me, whether you did or not.
00:04:27Why, of course we missed you.
00:04:28They haven't missed anything but sleep.
00:04:30Quiet.
00:04:31That won't do.
00:04:33Remember, all work and no play.
00:04:34Makes jack.
00:04:35And plenty of jack.
00:04:36If this ship does what we think it will.
00:04:39Yes?
00:04:40Send him in.
00:04:42Mr. Edmund is here.
00:04:44Oh, yes.
00:04:45He's a new test pilot.
00:04:49Hello, Paul.
00:04:51Hello, Kirk.
00:04:51Glad to see you.
00:04:52No mind glad to be here.
00:04:54Good.
00:04:54Colonel Dawson.
00:04:55This is Paul Redmond, number one test pilot of the world.
00:04:59He underestimates me.
00:05:00Welcome to Dawson Field, Mr. Edmund.
00:05:02Yeah, this is Richie Dawson.
00:05:04How do you do?
00:05:04How do you do?
00:05:05And Miss Dawson.
00:05:08Oh, we've met.
00:05:11I think we were traveling companions, weren't we?
00:05:13And you fly only when your business makes it necessary.
00:05:16You didn't ask me my business.
00:05:22I was telling him all about X-planes and test pilots.
00:05:25Oh, that's good.
00:05:27Well, anyway, the time wasn't wasted.
00:05:30She convinced me that I'm deserving of a monument.
00:05:32I was speaking generally.
00:05:34Well, you're one up on me.
00:05:35But I'll get even.
00:05:37Because a Dawson never forgets.
00:05:40Well, there's the old drink.
00:05:45How do you like it?
00:05:47She's a hurting man.
00:05:52Just between you and me,
00:05:54she's going to be the fastest thing that ever took off.
00:05:57That's what the Army needs.
00:05:59That's just what the Army's going to get.
00:06:03It seems like old times, huh, Paul?
00:06:05Almost too good to be true.
00:06:07I only hope the skeleton doesn't walk out of the cupboard on it.
00:06:10Oh, forget it.
00:06:11I don't think anybody here knows you.
00:06:14Besides, get the idea out of your head
00:06:15that you're guilty of anything but an accident.
00:06:18Tell that to the Marines.
00:06:21Well, if you're sour on the Marines,
00:06:22I can't say that I blame you.
00:06:23But, hey, you're starting all over again.
00:06:25The past has passed.
00:06:27That's a swell of your curtains.
00:06:28No, this is strictly business.
00:06:32You're here because I happen to know what you can do with a ship.
00:06:35And I'm cutting you the sweetest job of all.
00:06:389G?
00:06:39The 9G, the power die of the acrobatic.
00:06:44Period.
00:06:45Period.
00:06:46You're still using that.
00:06:47Hey, you know, that reminds me of that...
00:06:49Now, boys, meet the newest addition to our family, Paul Redmond.
00:06:53Tex Craven.
00:06:53Hiya, buddy.
00:06:54Jim Bolo.
00:06:55Then you know it.
00:06:56And Austin Forrest.
00:06:58Fine.
00:06:59Now we've got a fourth for bridge.
00:07:00That is, if Tex played.
00:07:02And if Bolo played.
00:07:03And if I played.
00:07:04Hey, did I get the name right, Redmond?
00:07:12Yeah.
00:07:14Redmond.
00:07:14Funny thing, you look like a guy was with me in the Marines down in Nicaragua.
00:07:18Did you ever hear a...
00:07:19Hey, you're way out of schedule, Bolo.
00:07:22It's only noon and you're tight already.
00:07:24I haven't had a drink today.
00:07:25Except a couple of pick-me-ups.
00:07:28You sure look like that Marine guy.
00:07:30Same size and...
00:07:32Hey, look.
00:07:34This must have been pretty strong pick-me-ups.
00:07:37I've known Redmond for over ten years.
00:07:39He's never even been there in Nicaragua.
00:07:44Oh.
00:07:46You seen the ship yet, Redmond?
00:07:48It's a peach.
00:07:49What I want to know is who's going to get the first half of that old crate.
00:07:52Well, who wants it?
00:07:53Me, Pete.
00:07:54I'm not that lucky man.
00:07:55Oh, it's some honor to be the first to fly this baby.
00:07:58And that $1,500 bonus is nothing to sneeze out either.
00:08:01I think the lucky guy should throw a big blowout tonight
00:08:03and get stuck for all the drinks.
00:08:05In that case, there's going to be a big bet in your bank account, Bolo,
00:08:08because you're elected.
00:08:10Who, me?
00:08:11You asked for it.
00:08:14You're kind of nervous tonight, you know.
00:08:17All right, son.
00:08:18Deal them out.
00:08:19Deal them out tonight.
00:08:20And it's all on the old maestro.
00:08:22You're a lucky stiff, Bolo.
00:08:24It's not luck.
00:08:25They picked my Barley to make the first test flight because he's the best pilot.
00:08:29Who told you that?
00:08:30You did.
00:08:32Well, may I have your autograph, Mr. Barley?
00:08:34Don't you remember, Barley?
00:08:35We were coming home from the picture show, and we were sitting on the front steps
00:08:38because Dad was still up in the parlor.
00:08:40Here, hold that.
00:08:42Well, you did tell me you were the best.
00:08:46He could be the best pilot, Lulu.
00:08:47For me, I'd rather be the owner.
00:08:49That's a worthy ambition.
00:08:51Nice little place, Miss.
00:08:53Do you come here, Auburn?
00:08:54Tex does.
00:08:55Oh, I do not.
00:08:56Oh, no, you practically live here.
00:08:58Tex, he doesn't look like the ninth-level type to me.
00:09:01Oh, there's a reason.
00:09:02And there she is.
00:09:07Come on, Tex, take a bow.
00:09:09Oh, that's your bow.
00:09:13Listen to my heart.
00:09:15You'll hear it sing a happy song.
00:09:29From the very start, you swept me off my feet.
00:09:36I'm different, oh, different.
00:09:41Until you came along, this is love.
00:09:54Love, a mere infatuation.
00:09:59Not an overnight sensation.
00:10:03This is real.
00:10:05It will live.
00:10:07I'm positive that this is love.
00:10:15You can stamp it 18 carats.
00:10:19Would you, would you, would you?
00:10:20It would flourish in a gas.
00:10:23This is love.
00:10:24This is love.
00:10:25This is love.
00:10:26This is love.
00:10:27True love.
00:10:28My heart tells me not to wait.
00:10:33It was me from the start.
00:10:36This is love.
00:10:37This is love.
00:10:40This is love.
00:10:41I must believe my heart.
00:10:45What else can it be but love?
00:10:51When it's been to me so annoy me
00:10:56You can make me or destroy me
00:11:01This is love
00:11:21Pardon me folks, I try to feel a dance coming on
00:11:28Oh, how you talk
00:11:29I'm kind afraid to ask you
00:11:32Just try not asking me
00:11:33Charlie, how would you like to drag me around for a while?
00:11:38I can hardly wait
00:11:39Every time you get better, Mr. Astaire
00:11:46You mean I get lighter on your feet?
00:11:48Oh
00:11:48How come you pull around with a guy like me?
00:11:52Come on, big boy, stop fishing
00:11:54No kidding, I didn't think a swell gal like you
00:11:57Would pick out some fellow with a bankroll and a big car
00:11:59I did, what?
00:12:03Oh, that's not just serious
00:12:05Two knives just dancing like this
00:12:08You said it
00:12:09Charlie, how did you feel to test the plane?
00:12:12Oh, swell
00:12:13Ain't you scared?
00:12:14No
00:12:15I do
00:12:16Stronghold things can happen
00:12:17Suppose that when you were way up there, a tire blew out
00:12:20Well, you fell in the propeller street and got wet
00:12:23Well, you don't get wet in a prompt stream
00:12:24You're kidding me again
00:12:26I heard a text say you were all wet the last time you flew
00:12:28Kick top, brother, you're in a spin
00:12:32Force landing
00:12:36There's none of my business, but you have to try tomorrow
00:12:39Do I think you ought to go easy on that stuff?
00:12:41Say, my body can find better tight than you guys can sober
00:12:44Ah, I suppose he told you that one too
00:12:46He did
00:12:47Eunice, I guess you've met everybody here except Mr. Redmond
00:12:51Oh, Eunice, you ought to miss the text
00:12:53Thanks, boy
00:12:54Didn't enjoy your song
00:12:55Oh, I'm glad you did
00:12:56Ready?
00:12:58Break out with another glass
00:13:00We have a new addition to the family
00:13:01Are you a flyer too, Mr. Redmond?
00:13:03I've been buying so long
00:13:04I can't even go around a corner without banking
00:13:06Well, I'll tell one
00:13:09Hey, just what is this thing here they're doing?
00:13:14Just a scoreboard for the boys
00:13:16And what's the score?
00:13:19We'll find out tomorrow
00:13:20Flying guinea pigs
00:13:26Isn't that what we all are?
00:13:28Just parts of an experiment
00:13:30Like guinea pigs waiting in a medical laboratory
00:13:33To find out whether a new serum works or not
00:13:36Follow your guinea pig number one
00:13:37Hey, are you going to let him call you a guinea pig?
00:13:40Cut your motor and glide
00:13:42If the serum works, swell
00:13:44And if it doesn't?
00:13:48Well, there's plenty more guinea pigs
00:13:49Some guys have all the time
00:14:03All the luck
00:14:03What do you mean luck?
00:14:04It's ability, my boy
00:14:05Ability
00:14:06What are you going to do with that bonus?
00:14:08Pay off the Barlow debts
00:14:08And what's left will be liquid assets
00:14:10I know how you feel, boys
00:14:12But you'll get your chance
00:14:13You'll get your chance
00:14:14Well, boys, today's the big day
00:14:16And I'm rearing to go
00:14:17I have a little disappointment for you, Barlow
00:14:19I've decided to take her up myself
00:14:21What the hell?
00:14:23After all, it's the colonel's baby
00:14:24You can't blame him for wanting the first thrill
00:14:27After three years of hard work
00:14:28I think I've had the right to take her up on the first right
00:14:30It's right, Colonel, but I'm a little jealous
00:14:32Jealous, they're breaking my heart
00:14:33I know how you feel, Barlow
00:14:35But you'll get your chance
00:14:36You'll get your chance
00:14:37You want to have your suit, Colonel?
00:14:39No, I'm not out for altitude today
00:14:41Speed is what I'm after
00:14:42Don't get ambitious and open her up too wide
00:14:45And after me getting hooked for that party last night
00:14:49Hey, you can't park there
00:14:51It's reserved
00:14:52Don't be an old route
00:14:53And you can't come in here
00:14:55Mr. Barlow said I could
00:14:56Colonel Dawson's order
00:14:57Can't you read?
00:14:59I'm not out of the way
00:15:00I'm not out of the way
00:15:01I'm not out of the way
00:15:02I'm not out of the way
00:15:03I'm not out of the way
00:15:04Why, my Barlow's flying that ship
00:15:05But he wants me to watch him
00:15:06There's no law against watching
00:15:08You can get a good view of the sky from here
00:15:10What do you think I am?
00:15:11I need to go be inspired
00:15:12You, Barlow!
00:15:16Here I am!
00:15:17Stop now, I'm watching
00:15:22Watch him
00:15:29Well, there she goes
00:15:39I was already myself
00:15:41Maybe I'll get you a chance
00:15:42Nice flying ship, Kurt
00:15:43Yeah, isn't she?
00:15:44Come on, Barlow!
00:15:45Give her the word!
00:15:46Otta boy!
00:15:47One in the cold!
00:15:48Don't forget what I taught you!
00:15:49Roll her over!
00:15:50Come on, Barlow!
00:15:51Give her the word!
00:15:52Otta boy!
00:15:53One in the cold!
00:15:54Don't forget what I taught you!
00:15:55Roll her over!
00:15:57Here, I am, wasting my breath
00:16:14Oh, oh, you're terrific!
00:16:18What?
00:16:19What?
00:16:20Agh-
00:16:21Ain't you flying that crate?
00:16:22Well, do I look like it?
00:16:23Here I am wasting my breath
00:16:25And here I am, wasting my life. Come on, let's get out of here.
00:16:56Look at those tests.
00:17:02How fast do you think she's traveling?
00:17:04Must be doing 350.
00:17:08That's traveling.
00:17:09I'd be satisfied with a little less.
00:17:25It's certainly pouring on the coal.
00:17:39That toweling's coming loose.
00:17:40I'm not giving away.
00:17:44Where's the whole motor going?
00:17:45Where's the whole motor going?
00:17:53Where's the whole motor going?
00:17:55Come on, Monty.
00:18:15Come on.
00:18:37Here, Daddy.
00:18:39You mustn't try to talk now, Father.
00:18:41Where's Trap?
00:18:42Right here comes.
00:18:44That knows what was wrong.
00:18:46You're going to be all right, Dad.
00:18:48Promise me.
00:18:50You three will stand together and see this through.
00:18:53We promise.
00:18:54Of course.
00:19:05Your father was a fine man, my dear.
00:19:08He was our commanding officer in the old 76 in France.
00:19:10He was an inspiration to all of us.
00:19:14But I suppose nothing I could say would ever compensate you for his loss.
00:19:20But...
00:19:22It's so hard to realize he isn't here, Major.
00:19:24He is here in spirit.
00:19:27And proud that you're brave enough to carry on.
00:19:30Well, if you've finished your coffee, Major, I'd like to show you what we're doing with a new job.
00:19:35I think Kirk's in the right track this time.
00:19:37Fine.
00:19:38You've been taking too much weight out of the wing bolts and fittings.
00:19:41You know, Kirk has a pet theory, too.
00:19:44Well, if you'd like to run over to the hangar, you can see for yourself.
00:19:47All right. Of course, you understand I prefer not to inject myself into the picture, except unofficially until you're ready for the final government test.
00:19:52You'll pardon this month?
00:19:54Yeah, of course you will.
00:19:55You coming ready?
00:19:57Yeah.
00:19:58I think I will. Thank you.
00:20:06May I compliment you, Mr. Redmond?
00:20:08What for?
00:20:09Well, it's nice to know someone who doesn't eat, drink and breathe airplanes.
00:20:13Kirk's worked awfully hard on that ship.
00:20:18Well, there must be something else in life.
00:20:20Well, he has quite a responsibility.
00:20:23He promised your dad, you know.
00:20:25You all did.
00:20:27That's just it.
00:20:30I wonder if we were right.
00:20:33I promised him.
00:20:35Is this the same girl whose lap was once full of aviation magazines?
00:20:39Who raved about flying to an innocent fellow passenger?
00:20:41No, it isn't.
00:20:44I've changed.
00:20:46But...
00:20:48I'll get over it, I guess.
00:20:51How about a little fresh air?
00:20:53Stroll in the garden?
00:20:55I think that would be just what the doctor ordered.
00:20:57All right.
00:21:04Wasn't the doctor right?
00:21:06I don't know.
00:21:07His prescription hasn't had time to work yet.
00:21:10It's got to work.
00:21:15It's no use.
00:21:17I can't pretend.
00:21:19Dad's death did something to me, and right now I'm...
00:21:22I'm afraid to think.
00:21:24Then don't think.
00:21:26If we stop to think, it makes it all the harder to keep on going.
00:21:30Come on.
00:21:32Let's give the night a chance.
00:21:35It's so beautiful and peaceful.
00:21:40I'm sorry, Kirk isn't here to enjoy it.
00:21:43I'm here.
00:21:45But I'm engaged to Kirk.
00:21:46Oh.
00:21:50Well, it's still a nice night.
00:22:03Thanks for the buggy ride.
00:22:05It was a swell day.
00:22:06You didn't get tired of listening to me gab.
00:22:07Oh, I liked it.
00:22:08You did?
00:22:09Uh-huh.
00:22:10Oh, I don't need no second invitation.
00:22:11I want to gab some more.
00:22:13You'll have to do the rest of your gathering in my dressing room.
00:22:15I've got to get made up.
00:22:20Park it for me, will you, partner?
00:22:21Yes, sir.
00:22:23Say, Eunice, I've got a little proposition to make to you.
00:22:26Uh-oh.
00:22:28Now it begins.
00:22:30You're just a slow starter, is that it?
00:22:32I warn you, I know all the answers.
00:22:38Make yourself at home.
00:22:45Shut the door.
00:22:48Maybe I shouldn't have come in here.
00:22:50That guy about the springer proposition, you're pretty shy.
00:22:53Come on, let's have it.
00:22:54Well, I kind of thought it'd be nice if you and me get away someplace.
00:22:59Out under the trees.
00:23:00Under the trees?
00:23:02Well, that's a new approach.
00:23:04I get it.
00:23:05The call of the wild.
00:23:07Wouldn't you like to go on a picnic with just the four of us?
00:23:10A picnic?
00:23:12Who's the other couple?
00:23:13Oh, I'll tell you, no couple.
00:23:15Just Butch and Mary, two of the kids that hang around the airport.
00:23:18Their mother does the washing for us.
00:23:20I wanted to get them an outing.
00:23:21Well, you sort of fit right into the picture.
00:23:25What kind of hanker to see you around, kid?
00:23:28It's a date.
00:23:29I love it.
00:23:30You leave everything to me, those kids will have that time of their lives.
00:23:33I'll give them everything from donuts to hamburger and soda pop.
00:23:37That's fine.
00:23:39Never live on a ranch.
00:23:41I had a pain that a dude ranch was.
00:23:42Oh, not that kind.
00:23:44The kind they have down home.
00:23:46Horses and cows.
00:23:48I'm going to own one someday.
00:23:50That's why I'm flying these test jobs, getting up money to buy them.
00:23:53Gosh, I guess I'll have to come visit you sometime.
00:23:56I like country life.
00:23:58Gee, I'm glad to hear you say that.
00:24:00Why?
00:24:01Oh, I don't know.
00:24:02I'm glad.
00:24:04You know, when I get that ranch and want to get married, just me and the wife and the kids.
00:24:11Let the rest of the world go by.
00:24:13How does that sound to you, Eunice?
00:24:17Well, that's not a proposition.
00:24:19That's a proposal.
00:24:21That's what I've been trying to say.
00:24:23Oh, gee.
00:24:27How about it? Is it a deal?
00:24:28Well, of course it is.
00:24:38Now, I'll wrap one right around the peg.
00:24:41Now, boy, that's two points for us.
00:24:45Hey, you can't pass that stuff.
00:24:47Hello?
00:24:49Oh, it's you again.
00:24:51Molly's flying today?
00:24:52How should I know?
00:24:56I told you.
00:24:57Come on, outside, outside.
00:24:58Oh, don't take yourself so seriously.
00:25:00I just want to wave to him.
00:25:03Barley!
00:25:04You!
00:25:06You!
00:25:07You!
00:25:08Barley!
00:25:09Lulu!
00:25:15Today?
00:25:17Come on, come on, come on.
00:25:19Hey, Ted.
00:25:21How'd you like to spin test that extra job this morning?
00:25:24Boy, how would I?
00:25:26About me!
00:25:27I'm saving you.
00:25:28Come on, Ted.
00:25:29You better get ready.
00:25:30Oh, you lucky stiff.
00:25:31No, stay.
00:25:32He needs a clean life.
00:25:34Goodbye, boys.
00:25:36You! Lulu!
00:25:38Yes?
00:25:42Today?
00:25:43Oh, that's too bad.
00:25:44Oh, what do you want to make that heel out of my guy for like that?
00:25:56Oh, Barley!
00:25:58Oh, Barley!
00:25:59Come on, get out of here.
00:26:00Wind that old cheat kettle up and get out of here.
00:26:02I'm sick and tired about you.
00:26:03Hey, Ted!
00:26:05Come on, let's dig off to the picnic!
00:26:08We got cooking a cake!
00:26:10You'll have to wait a little while.
00:26:12Get over, cowboy!
00:26:13Come on, get out of here.
00:26:14I'm tired of all this.
00:26:15You ought to know better than that.
00:26:17Tex.
00:26:19I just want to wish you a happy landing.
00:26:20Thanks, Miss Dawson.
00:26:22Okay, I was sort of thinking that.
00:26:24I wonder if you'd do me a little favor.
00:26:25Surely.
00:26:27Eunice and I have planned to take Butch and Mary out in the country today,
00:26:29and I hate to disappoint them.
00:26:32Well, I was sort of wondering,
00:26:35would you like to go on a picnic?
00:26:37A picnic?
00:26:39Well, I still think I could get away.
00:26:47I would love to go on a picnic.
00:26:49Anywhere but here.
00:26:51Well, they're right outside.
00:26:52Tell Eunice that little minute to tend to.
00:26:55But don't tell her what kind of minute.
00:26:56She wouldn't have a good time if she thought I was flying.
00:26:59I understand.
00:27:01I'll be right with you as soon as I bust that flying bronc down to some sensible riding.
00:27:05Good luck.
00:27:06I got it.
00:27:13Oh, Tex.
00:27:15I want to see how she goes into a spin.
00:27:16I want to see how she comes out of a spin.
00:27:18Both at 10,000 and at 5,000.
00:27:21But not under 2,000, Tex.
00:27:22Okay.
00:27:23Right.
00:27:24You said it, Carter.
00:27:25I sure feel a spin coming on.
00:27:26Happy landing.
00:27:27Happy landing.
00:27:28Happy landing.
00:27:29Happy landing.
00:27:34Yify.
00:27:35Happy landing.
00:27:39Happy landing.
00:27:45Oh, hold still, can't you?
00:27:50You can't be an Indian unless you're tattooed.
00:27:55Well, why can't I be a ballet dancer?
00:27:57They don't have to be tattooed.
00:28:00Oh, don't be a stranger.
00:28:03You can't be an Indian unless you're tattooed.
00:28:07Why can't I be a ballet dancer?
00:28:10They don't have to be tattooed.
00:28:12Oh, don't be a sissy.
00:28:15See, I'm glad you came along today.
00:28:17I'm in kind of a spot I need somebody to talk to.
00:28:20Well, you can talk to me.
00:28:22I'm used to listening.
00:28:23No, I mean seriously.
00:28:25He just wants me to marry him.
00:28:28Why, Eunice, that's grand.
00:28:29Congratulations.
00:28:30Oh, don't congratulate me yet.
00:28:32I don't know whether you'd love him.
00:28:35Oh, I know that all right.
00:28:37But there's something else.
00:28:39You see, well, I've always had to get along
00:28:42the best way I could.
00:28:43And sometimes, sometimes I haven't.
00:28:48But that's all ancient history, isn't it?
00:28:50And what's bothering you?
00:28:52Has he asked you?
00:28:53Oh, no.
00:28:54No, he hasn't asked me a thing.
00:28:56But he's such a trusting soul.
00:29:00I don't know whether to tell him...
00:29:02Tell him what?
00:29:04Tell him I haven't...
00:29:05He loves you and you love him.
00:29:07That ought to be enough for any two people.
00:29:10Love isn't a thing that can be measured.
00:29:11It's either there or it isn't.
00:29:13You're a very lucky girl, Eunice.
00:29:16If I were you, I'd take my happiness today.
00:29:18I'd hang on to it with both hands
00:29:20and never let it go.
00:29:22You're sweet.
00:29:26Well, you don't have to cry about him.
00:29:28But I want to cry.
00:29:30I'm so happy.
00:29:30I don't know.
00:29:50I'm so happy.
00:29:51THE END
00:30:21Gee, that looks good.
00:30:40That's Miss Dawson's ship.
00:30:43Isn't that one of your planes?
00:30:46No, that's an electric from Cloverfield.
00:30:49So isn't it, Miss Dawson.
00:30:50That's where I asked your tail.
00:30:52That's rich.
00:30:56Is it Tex?
00:30:57THE END
00:31:07Let's go.
00:31:37Let's go.
00:32:07Oh, come on, Mr. Barlow.
00:32:23Teach me how to do a 9G.
00:32:25Do you know what a 9G is?
00:32:27No, that's why I'm asking you.
00:32:28All right, come on over here, and I'll give you all the dope, Butch.
00:32:35Now, a 9G means nine times gravity or nine times your own weight.
00:32:39Now, how much do you weigh, Butch?
00:32:40101 pounds.
00:32:42And you'd weigh 909 pounds in a 9G.
00:32:45Oh, shucks, Mr. Barlow.
00:32:46The fat woman in the circus don't weigh that much.
00:32:49Well, you'd think you was a fat woman in a circus pulling out of a dive at 9G.
00:32:53You see, when you pull out of a dive, you pull out like that.
00:32:57And then it creates a pressure or a resistance against gravity.
00:33:00And that increases your weight.
00:33:02Right.
00:33:02Now, the faster you pull out, the greater the resistance.
00:33:06And before the arm will accept the ship, it's got to pass a 9G test.
00:33:09That is, you've got to pull her out fast enough to create pressure nine times its own weight
00:33:14to see if it'll still hold together.
00:33:15I get you.
00:33:16It's all in the full ox.
00:33:18And I'd be weighing 909 pounds to see if it'd have to be strong enough to hold me up.
00:33:23Correct.
00:33:23Now then, if the body of a ship weighed 1,000 pounds,
00:33:27that would mean that the wings would have to hold up 9,000 pounds.
00:33:30Oh, boy.
00:33:31They must be tough to do.
00:33:33Oh, you haven't heard anything yet.
00:33:35It isn't every pilot can do a 9G.
00:33:37Why, the blood all rushes through your head and you get a nosebleed
00:33:40and you feel like your eyes are going to pop out of your head.
00:33:43And then you get as blind as a bat.
00:33:45And then if you don't take a good breath, let out a good healthy scream,
00:33:49well, you'll pass that completely.
00:33:50Now, do you still think you want to be a test, pilot?
00:33:53Well, I... sure.
00:33:55All right, Butch.
00:33:56Come on, we'll go out and do a 9G.
00:33:58Let's go.
00:34:01All right, here we go for a 9G.
00:34:03I don't think this old trunk will hold together in a 9G.
00:34:06Well, let her fold up.
00:34:08We can build another one like they're doing with the egg ship.
00:34:11Okay, pilot.
00:34:12Grab a couple of lungs full of air and let out a squeal and do your stuff.
00:34:18Horseback on that stick.
00:34:20Pull her out.
00:34:21And then I'll shake your head.
00:34:23Can you see?
00:34:24All right, then we'll fly around a little while.
00:34:26The head clears up and then we'll land.
00:34:28That's that ticket.
00:34:30Johnny, do you know where Mr. Kirk is?
00:34:31I just saw him in the engineering bank.
00:34:33How fast do you think that ship will dive before it reaches terminal velocity?
00:34:38According to our figures, 450 miles an hour.
00:34:40The figures don't lie.
00:34:41Yeah, you mean they won't lie to order.
00:34:43If that ship won't do better than 500 before it reaches terminal, I'll eat my goggles.
00:34:47Look, we've spent over two years working out these formulas.
00:34:49Very, very, very.
00:34:51Listen, that ship looks great on paper, but...
00:34:53Now, there's a test pilot for you.
00:34:55I never met one yet that didn't want to tell the designers how to build their ships.
00:34:58Why not?
00:34:59Maybe it's about time the guinea pig told the surgeon just when and where to cut.
00:35:02After all, it's the guinea pig that wakes up with a stomachache.
00:35:05Maybe we'd better let Barlow do the terminal velocity that he does.
00:35:08Not a chance, old boy.
00:35:10I'm going to make one myself, just to prove that I'm right.
00:35:13By the way, how many more of these planes have you got?
00:35:16Four, in different stages of construction.
00:35:18Oh, that's good, because this one's not going to be with you very long.
00:35:22I'll be doing better than 500 when I come out of that dive,
00:35:25and I'm going to leave something behind.
00:35:27Maybe a wing or two.
00:35:28Well, go ahead and pull off a wing if you think it'll prove anything.
00:35:32Do you want a bit?
00:35:33No, I don't want to take your money.
00:35:35All right, it's your airplane.
00:35:41Come on, Marty.
00:35:42Richie.
00:35:43Oh, yeah.
00:35:45Come on in.
00:35:52Kirk, was Farris on the level above those wings?
00:35:56Farris is a test pilot.
00:35:57That's the same thing as saying that he's daffy.
00:36:00Still.
00:36:00Still what?
00:36:01Still, he may be right.
00:36:02Who knows?
00:36:04There's any doubt in your mind, Kirk.
00:36:06There's any danger.
00:36:07There's doubt and danger every time an experimental job takes off the ground.
00:36:11And you're going to send Farris up without being positive that it's safe?
00:36:14If I knew the ship was safe, I wouldn't have to have it tested.
00:36:16Now, don't get excited.
00:36:17That's what test pilots are for.
00:36:19Well, Richie and I have been talking this thing over.
00:36:23We've decided to drop the ex-ship.
00:36:25Drop it?
00:36:27After more than two years of experimental work, an investment of almost $300,000?
00:36:33We can stand the loss.
00:36:35It's ridiculous to go on killing men just to make a ship go a little faster.
00:36:39If we don't do it, somebody else will.
00:36:41Some other company will beat us to it.
00:36:42That wouldn't mean the end of the world to us.
00:36:44I'm sorry to disappoint you, Kirk.
00:36:48But Richie and I have made up our minds.
00:36:51And we're two to one.
00:36:59I can understand how you feel about it, Martha.
00:37:02After all, this isn't a woman's game.
00:37:05But I'm surprised at you.
00:37:06You mean I'm yellow?
00:37:07I didn't say that.
00:37:09But I'm trying to say that this is a man's game.
00:37:11You can't expect a woman to understand it.
00:37:12Don't forget, kid, this is the ship your father dreamed about.
00:37:17This is it.
00:37:19I didn't want to drop it, but Martha talked me into it.
00:37:24I thought so.
00:37:26After all, you're a flyer.
00:37:28You've got a license.
00:37:29You've got plenty of hours in the air.
00:37:33What about that promise you made to your father?
00:37:35All right, all right.
00:37:36I'm for it.
00:37:37Let's go ahead with it.
00:37:39Richie.
00:37:39Well, I think Kirk is right.
00:37:41We're two to one against you, Martha.
00:37:44I don't care.
00:37:46I want no more blood on my hands.
00:37:48That plane's killed two men already, and now far it's...
00:37:50Suppose it kills two more.
00:37:52Or a dozen.
00:37:53Or all of us.
00:37:54What's that compared with saving a whole community stricken with plague?
00:37:58Or saving whole cities in time of war?
00:37:59This country needs that ship, Martha.
00:38:03Oh, what's the use?
00:38:04You're a man.
00:38:09You wouldn't understand.
00:38:14Nice going, Kim.
00:38:15Let's go.
00:38:16All right.
00:38:18You're a man.
00:38:26That's a good thing.
00:38:26Yeah.
00:38:27Why not, Gary?
00:38:49Oh, it's all in fun, you know.
00:38:52This little guinea pig went to market.
00:38:54That little guinea pig stayed at home.
00:38:57And whether this little guinea pig has roast beef tomorrow.
00:39:01Depends on who's right tomorrow.
00:39:03Kirk or myself.
00:39:05I can't understand your idea, Steve.
00:39:07Oh, it's all in a day's work.
00:39:10It's like flying blind.
00:39:11You look out into the fog and you can't see your wingtip.
00:39:14You have absolutely no control over what happens.
00:39:16So?
00:39:17You just let whatever's going to happen, happen.
00:39:20Right.
00:39:21However, that's tomorrow.
00:39:24But tonight is tonight.
00:39:25The night the red wine flows on the battlefield of a nightclub.
00:39:30The night that I raise my raucous voice in song.
00:39:33In other words, the night that I get drunken disorderly with malice a fall for.
00:39:37Maybe that's what I should do.
00:39:40Well, why not?
00:39:41What have you got to lose?
00:39:44What have I got to lose?
00:39:46Contact.
00:39:48Here's where we start flying blind.
00:39:49Four little test pilots flying in a row.
00:39:54Motor comes and one must go.
00:39:58Leaving.
00:39:59Three little test pilots waiting for a call.
00:40:01The prompt flies off and we let go.
00:40:04Leaving.
00:40:05Two little test pilots making just a pair.
00:40:08Deadline breaks and one grabs air.
00:40:11Leaving.
00:40:12One little test pilot sitting on the shelf.
00:40:14The shell pulls down and it hurts himself.
00:40:16Leaving.
00:40:18No little test pilots flying in a row.
00:40:26Don't so help me.
00:40:29Good, good, huh?
00:40:30You better.
00:40:32Hey, wait a minute.
00:40:33Uh, bring me another bottle of that grape.
00:40:36Oh, I don't want grape.
00:40:37Make mine wine.
00:40:38Yeah, but...
00:40:39Oh, come on, let's stand.
00:40:41Ah, customers!
00:40:46Let's play head waiter.
00:40:49Good day, gentlemen.
00:40:49Good day.
00:40:50Can I show you something?
00:40:50Got a nice tweed?
00:40:51Have you any Scots tweed?
00:40:53Bloomer the heather, sir.
00:40:54Bloomer the heather.
00:40:55McFarish, may you the gentleman for a drink?
00:40:58I'll beat you under the table later.
00:41:00And now, sir, what can I do for you?
00:41:02I'm not buying.
00:41:03I'm just the window shopping.
00:41:04Well, the missus and children's sides are on the fourth floor, right next to the toy department.
00:41:07Or am I mistaken?
00:41:08Don't ask me.
00:41:09I'll have a beer.
00:41:11Beer today and gone tomorrow.
00:41:13Oh!
00:41:14Everybody dying and all of you going out to die.
00:41:17So that somebody ten years from now can fly from New York to Chicago ten minutes faster.
00:41:22Than sit around half an hour and brag about it.
00:41:27Tell you what.
00:41:29We'll do something about it.
00:41:31Oh, wait a minute.
00:41:32Uh, bring us some more wine.
00:41:35Oh, look what surrounds us.
00:41:39Hello?
00:41:39Do you mind if I sit down?
00:41:42Hmm.
00:41:43Glad to have you.
00:41:44Glad to have you.
00:41:44We'll leave you in a few minutes, but glad to have you.
00:41:47You know, this young lady and I have plans.
00:41:50We know the futility of existence.
00:41:52And today is now and tomorrow is promise.
00:41:55And we don't like promises.
00:41:57Mr. Redmond doesn't believe that.
00:42:00He thinks tomorrow is very important.
00:42:03Oh, wrong.
00:42:04Dead wrong.
00:42:04Here's to Father Time.
00:42:06Drink him down, drink him down.
00:42:08And to a beautiful lady.
00:42:10Do we have just one dance before you take off?
00:42:23Do you mind?
00:42:24Oh, certainly not.
00:42:25Certainly not.
00:42:30Go ahead.
00:42:31Say it.
00:42:32All right, I will.
00:42:35You're making a fool of yourself, and I'm going to stop you.
00:42:37How?
00:42:39Like this.
00:42:41What do you think you're doing?
00:42:43Taking you home.
00:42:44Where?
00:42:44Where is the home?
00:42:46You have no right to interfere with what I want to do.
00:42:49Come on.
00:42:49You put me there!
00:43:07All right, Cisco.
00:43:08Not bad, just a broken axle.
00:43:23Don't be absurd, you take me right home.
00:43:25Long walk.
00:43:38Feel better?
00:43:42Yes, I feel all right.
00:43:45I've been asleep long.
00:43:47About an hour.
00:43:50Paul, I'm not angry anymore.
00:43:55No?
00:43:56I was never really angry at you.
00:44:00Why should you be?
00:44:02That's right, why should I be?
00:44:05Paul, I want to say thanks.
00:44:07I mean, about tonight.
00:44:09Don't mention it.
00:44:11I might have made an awful fool of myself.
00:44:13Forget it.
00:44:15Well, thanks anyway.
00:44:24Give us a left.
00:44:25Sure.
00:44:26Sure.
00:44:37Get.
00:44:40Hey, don't you know how to ride on a hair rack?
00:44:43Not without spurs.
00:44:44Oh, shucks.
00:44:45You'll wind up on the road.
00:44:47Get up on top.
00:44:48You young lady, get close to him.
00:44:52Now put your arms around each other.
00:44:53Go ahead.
00:44:57Don't want to fall off, do you?
00:45:00How's this?
00:45:01That's it.
00:45:03Now lean your head on his shoulder.
00:45:07Fine.
00:45:10Well, things come to a pretty pass
00:45:11when a young couple don't know how to ride on top of a hair rack.
00:45:15Fine, dear.
00:45:15The best thing we've done.
00:45:16You certainly are slow catching on you, young fella.
00:45:30Go ahead.
00:45:31Don't worry about me looking around.
00:45:33I know better.
00:45:36Like that?
00:45:37Fine.
00:45:37Fine.
00:45:37Good night, sir.
00:45:47Good night, Ed.
00:45:48I know what can't deny.
00:46:01I know what can't deny that.
00:46:04I ain't that gollywood fell.
00:46:06Oh, I ain't that gollywood fell.
00:46:09I ain't that gollywood fell.
00:46:11Oh, I know what can't deny.
00:46:13That's the idea.
00:46:22Easy now.
00:46:26Whoop.
00:46:26Get up.
00:46:28Get altitude.
00:46:29Get altitude.
00:46:30Get your nose up.
00:46:31That's it.
00:46:32Pull back your stick and away you go.
00:46:35Chick as a boss.
00:46:39Certainly, my good man.
00:46:40I have a dime for a cup of coffee.
00:46:42Well, I didn't know you boys were going out on the binge.
00:46:45Nothing to be ashamed of.
00:46:46Perfectly respectable.
00:46:48That's Martha.
00:46:49Martha?
00:46:50Was she there?
00:46:52And how?
00:46:53Yeah, she went there with me.
00:46:55But Redmond sort of kidnapped her.
00:46:56And they won't be home until morning, ain't they?
00:47:00You boys better call her tonight.
00:47:02I'll take care of the kid.
00:47:03I'll take care of the kid.
00:47:03Good morning.
00:47:20Hello.
00:47:22Busy?
00:47:23Always busy.
00:47:25I thought there was an explanation to you about last night.
00:47:29What about last night?
00:47:30How I happened to be with Martha and why we got home so late.
00:47:33I hadn't given it a thought.
00:47:35I'm glad of that, Kirk, because there's always the possibility that you might put two and two together and make five.
00:47:41Forget it.
00:47:43Martha's free, white, and 21.
00:47:47Meanwhile, there's work to be done.
00:47:51Round up for us, will you?
00:47:52We might as well get that test underway.
00:47:54Well, how do you feel this morning?
00:48:02Oh, it feels swell.
00:48:03But I warn you, take a good look at your baby.
00:48:05She may look like an airplane when she takes off, but when she comes down, she's going to look like a second-hand accordion.
00:48:09That's what you think.
00:48:15You pilots are all alike.
00:48:17Always giving me that business.
00:48:24Hello there.
00:48:46How'd you get in here?
00:48:47I climbed up to the fence.
00:48:48I wanted to see him dive.
00:48:49Well, you're just in time.
00:48:50He's getting altitude now.
00:48:57Not there.
00:48:58Over here.
00:48:59Above that big cloud there.
00:49:01Oh, yeah.
00:49:05Molly, why do they always scream when they make a dive?
00:49:07Offset resistance.
00:49:09Huh?
00:49:09See, there's a terrific pressure when you're in a dive.
00:49:11And by yelling, you tense your muscles here and here.
00:49:18That's right.
00:49:18You build up a pressure inside, and that offsets the resistance on the outside.
00:49:22The same way they build up a pressure in a deep sea dive, it is, huh?
00:49:25Exactly.
00:49:25You see, it just...
00:49:26Lula, you're marvelous.
00:49:29Now, will you marry me?
00:49:30Sure, but not today.
00:49:32Now, watch the little airplane.
00:49:41What altitude has he got?
00:49:43About 12,000 feet.
00:49:44Okay.
00:49:48He's just about ready to dive.
00:49:58He's just about ready to dive.
00:49:58Isn't that good?
00:50:20Come on.
00:50:33Pull out.
00:50:38Come on.
00:50:38Pull out.
00:50:39There goes the wings!
00:50:56Wait, pull off!
00:51:07Oh, they're lovely.
00:51:10Would you mind putting them over there?
00:51:16Well, did I prove anything?
00:51:20You proved that you can't take too much weight out of a wing brace.
00:51:24Or you'll lose a wing.
00:51:26If you'd been game enough to bet, I'd have taken some money off you.
00:51:29That's right.
00:51:30But wait till you see the new job.
00:51:31Say, whoever flies that's going to go to town.
00:51:36Let me have another crack at it.
00:51:37I'll be all right in a couple of weeks.
00:51:42Sure.
00:51:45That's a bet.
00:51:47All right.
00:51:48Just for that, I'll hurry up and get well.
00:51:50I think we'd better let you rest now.
00:51:55Right.
00:51:56I don't want to tie you out the first visit.
00:51:58Well done, ma'am.
00:51:58Well done.
00:51:59Goodbye.
00:52:00Bye-bye.
00:52:01I'll drop around tomorrow with some home-cooked chicken broth.
00:52:04How does that sound to you?
00:52:06That's almost too good for a guinea pig.
00:52:08Here's a nurse out here.
00:52:24Let's sit down and have a little talk.
00:52:27All right.
00:52:28What should we talk about?
00:52:34All right?
00:52:36No, about us.
00:52:39You know, Marty, I've been an awful sap.
00:52:43Getting so bound up in that plane that I forgot that I was a human being.
00:52:48Once this job's done, everything's going to be different, isn't it?
00:52:52I don't know.
00:52:54Will it?
00:52:54What's the matter?
00:53:01What's going wrong between you and me?
00:53:05I don't know.
00:53:06Just because I haven't told you, because I haven't been able to be with you, that doesn't make any difference, does it?
00:53:14You know I love you.
00:53:17I know you do.
00:53:19You seem changed.
00:53:23Let's not talk about it now.
00:53:24This is Redmond.
00:53:43Hello?
00:53:46Shall we run along?
00:53:49If you don't mind, I think I'll just sit here a little.
00:53:52Come in, old timer.
00:54:03Well, how is it?
00:54:03I'm feeling fine.
00:54:04I had a comfortable night, and I'm fooling the doctors.
00:54:07I'm going to live.
00:54:09Feature of the punch, didn't I?
00:54:10Answered all the questions before you had time to ask them.
00:54:12And now I can do you a little favor.
00:54:17If you take a little stroll in that garden, I think you'll meet somebody that you'll be glad to see.
00:54:23Hello.
00:54:23Hello, Paul.
00:54:38I didn't know you were out here.
00:54:39Sit down.
00:54:40I've just seen Paul.
00:54:48He's going to go fine, isn't he?
00:54:51Fine.
00:54:53What price airplanes?
00:54:57Paul, it's insane the way you're being used up one after the other.
00:55:01All in a day's work.
00:55:02That's the way you men look at it.
00:55:06All I know is I loved my father, and he's gone.
00:55:10Pex is gone.
00:55:12And Forrest will never walk again.
00:55:20I know how you feel, Martha.
00:55:23We've taken on an important job.
00:55:25We have to see it through.
00:55:26But isn't it more important to live for someone whose life is all bound up in yours?
00:55:32Like Eunice and Pex?
00:55:34It's hard to explain, Martha.
00:55:37Pex flew for money.
00:55:39He wanted that little ranch down south.
00:55:42Forrest flew to feed his ego.
00:55:44Or perhaps he didn't care.
00:55:47But with your dad, it was an ideal.
00:55:50Never mind the others.
00:55:52It's you I want to understand.
00:55:54And Cap.
00:55:56I'm not hard to understand.
00:55:58But you are.
00:55:59What do you want out of life?
00:56:02Like most people, I guess.
00:56:03The things I can't have.
00:56:08But you can.
00:56:10If you really want them.
00:56:11Can you have X ship ready for final test one week from today?
00:56:23Stop.
00:56:23We'll arrive your field for demonstration.
00:56:25Signed, T.L.
00:56:26Metcalf, Major C.O. Airboard.
00:56:28Next week tells the story, then.
00:56:30Mm-hmm.
00:56:31And you'll see the old Major's eyes open a mile wide.
00:56:34He's hoping.
00:56:35But I know the conservative old coot.
00:56:37He won't believe that ship will do what we claim until he sees it.
00:56:40Then we won't be able to build them fast enough he'll want so many.
00:56:44I'd like to give that ship a good TV test tomorrow.
00:56:47Who shall we put on it?
00:56:47How about me?
00:56:49I'm saving you for the big job.
00:56:52It's either you or Barlow, Richie.
00:56:54You're a big chance, my lad.
00:56:55Seems to me that Barlow should have his inning.
00:56:58It's promised so many times.
00:56:59Okay, make it, Barlow.
00:57:01Give him a ring call.
00:57:03Tell him the plans.
00:57:12They've been flying much lately, have you, fellow?
00:57:14Not much.
00:57:15Hello, Barlow.
00:57:17Redman talking.
00:57:19Can you leave Ludo long enough to come over to the office?
00:57:22Got some good news for you.
00:57:24Brian.
00:57:25Don't you think you're making a mistake?
00:57:31If you can't improve, you're flying in an armchair, you know.
00:57:33I'm not afraid.
00:57:35I'll take as much of a chance as any of you fellows.
00:57:37I didn't say you were afraid, Richie.
00:57:39But you think I am.
00:57:40You don't fool me.
00:57:41You think these crack-upers have been getting my goat.
00:57:43I don't think anything of the kind.
00:57:45Just that you'll be getting rusty.
00:57:46You shouldn't let a day go by without taking off.
00:57:48Thanks for the advice.
00:57:50Listen, Redman.
00:57:53This business hasn't got me licked.
00:57:55Next time I go up, it's going to be in the X-ship.
00:57:56Do you hear me?
00:57:57In the X-ship.
00:57:58It may have the Indian sign on you fellows, but it hasn't got it on me.
00:58:02I'll break the jinx.
00:58:03I'll show all of you.
00:58:17Good evening, Mr. Rishi.
00:58:21I'm going to try it myself.
00:58:25I'm not afraid of you.
00:58:36I'm going to fly you myself.
00:58:41I'm not afraid of you.
00:58:43Is there anything wrong with her?
00:58:44We'll miss you about the warmer up.
00:58:46What, sir?
00:58:47You heard me.
00:58:48We're on the line.
00:58:49Mr. Rishi's acting kind of funny.
00:59:12He's out there talking to the X-ship.
00:59:14Says he's going to fly it.
00:59:15Tonight?
00:59:16Yeah.
00:59:16I was making my rounds, and he gave me orders to wheel her out.
00:59:19Go ahead of your rounds.
00:59:20I'll take care of it, Kelly.
00:59:21Oh, that's it.
00:59:30Rishi!
00:59:30Do I get a doctor?
00:59:48Too late for a doctor.
00:59:50What do I do to do?
00:59:53That X-ship had a wreck.
00:59:56Too bad he had to go like that.
00:59:58He was a swell kid.
01:00:00I'm not thinking about him.
01:00:02I'm thinking about his sister.
01:00:04The newspapers will play this up big.
01:00:05If she finds out her brother committed suicide, she'll never get over it.
01:00:09What are you going to do?
01:00:13See that she doesn't find out.
01:00:15Help me get this parachute on.
01:00:16I'll make you a Kentucky colonel.
01:00:23Thank you, kind sir.
01:00:25You know, I think I'll come around here more often.
01:00:29Might get me back in your good graces.
01:00:32I'll mix you a mint tulip any time.
01:00:34Redman, you're crazy to do this.
01:00:58All right, I'm crazy.
01:01:00This sounds like the X-ship.
01:01:09It is.
01:01:10But it couldn't be.
01:01:12Don't tell me.
01:01:13I've spent too many hours with that engine.
01:01:15I've spent too many hours with that engine.
01:01:16I've spent too many hours with that engine.
01:01:17I've spent too many hours with that engine.
01:01:18I've spent too many hours with that engine.
01:01:19I've spent too many hours with that engine.
01:01:20I've spent too many hours with that engine.
01:01:21I've spent too many hours with that engine.

01:06:37YOU
01:06:39YOU
01:06:40I'm leaving.
01:06:52Won't you say goodbye?
01:06:54There's nothing for me to say to you.
01:06:56You left my brother in that plane to die.
01:06:59I don't see how you even dare talk to me.
01:07:03I know how you feel.
01:07:04No, you don't. You couldn't.
01:07:07I would never have believed it of you.
01:07:09After it was all over, I asked myself over and over again why you did it.
01:07:15Why did you do it?
01:07:22I wanted to find just one good reason.
01:07:25I couldn't.
01:07:29I wanted that reason more than anything in the world.
01:07:33I was just leaving the field when I heard that Kirk was going to make the final test.
01:07:37Kirk?
01:07:37Yes, he's making the 9G.
01:07:41You better stop him.
01:07:42That's what I came back to do.
01:07:43But I don't want to stop him now.
01:07:45I want him to fly that ship because that takes courage.
01:07:49I hope you're right.
01:07:50No, you don't.
01:07:51You hope I'm wrong.
01:07:53But I'm not going to be wrong.
01:07:55I'm going to marry Kirk.
01:07:57Do you hear me, Paul?
01:07:58I'm going to marry you.
01:07:59What do you want?
01:08:18I want to talk to you.
01:08:20I'm too busy.
01:08:23You only think you are.
01:08:24Nothing to talk about.
01:08:26I told you to get off the field.
01:08:29I will.
01:08:31As soon as I finish what I came here to do.
01:08:33You finished here the other night.
01:08:36You're not going to do a 9G in that ship out there.
01:08:38I'm going to try.
01:08:39It's a suicide, Kirk.
01:08:41You're not a good enough flyer.
01:08:43You're a designer.
01:08:45Well, you've never even done a 9G.
01:08:46I'll do this one.
01:08:48You don't even know what a 9G is like.
01:08:51You're diving 10,000 feet.
01:08:53Wide open.
01:08:54With a ship nose straight into the ground.
01:08:56You're doing 500 miles an hour.
01:08:59You're throwing blood.
01:09:00You go blind.
01:09:01The pressure almost tears your ribs apart.
01:09:03You're flying purely by instinct.
01:09:05Trying to remember when to pull back that stick and level off.
01:09:09Sometimes they don't remember.
01:09:10You're doing 1,200 feet a second.
01:09:13In a few seconds, you crash.
01:09:14And everything you've worked for and everything Martha wants and you want.
01:09:18Crash is with you.
01:09:19I'm not going to let you do it, Kirk.
01:09:22You can't crack my nerve that way.
01:09:24Get out.
01:09:24I'm not trying to do anything to keep you from killing yourself.
01:09:27That's my business.
01:09:28Get out now, will you?
01:09:28Get out.
01:09:35I think he's done a fine job there.
01:09:37Certainly looks good to me.
01:09:39He's cracked now.
01:09:44Seems to be in a hurry.
01:09:52Over anxious.
01:09:54I don't wonder after all that's happened.
01:10:00Well, Martha, we may see some evidence of history made here.
01:10:03That ship certainly can climb.
01:10:26I don't know.
01:11:03How high do you think he is now?
01:11:18Oh, about 17,000, I say.
01:11:28And he's leveling off.
01:11:33And he's leveling off.
01:12:03He's leveling off.
01:12:09Hold on.
01:12:11Hold on.
01:12:15Hold on.
01:12:21Hold on.
01:12:24Pull out.
01:12:54Looks like you get your money's worth today.
01:13:15You're putting on a great show.
01:13:24You're putting on a great show.
01:13:54Well, he's taxiing right into the hangar.
01:14:01Isn't that against the rules?
01:14:03After a show like that, he can break all the rules.
01:14:06Nice to go, Kirk, old man.
01:14:11Gee, you did a wonderful job.
01:14:12Almost as soon as my bag can do.
01:14:14Why, it's Mr. Redman.
01:14:16Quiet.
01:14:17Well, you haven't seen me, you understand?
01:14:19This is the key to Kirk's locker.
01:14:21Let him out and pay nothing.
01:14:28Open this door!
01:14:30Let me out of here, will you?
01:14:33Wait, Redman.
01:14:36I don't know.
01:14:37What do you want with him?
01:14:38I own something.
01:14:39Nice little poke in the nose.
01:14:40Well, if you poke him in the nose, you ought to get a kick in the pants.
01:14:44Yeah, that's what you think.
01:14:45Well, there's a lot going on around here that you ought to know.
01:14:47I was with Wallace and the Marines, and I know he never pulled that stunt.
01:14:50I hate to see a regular guy take a raft twice.
01:14:54And here's something else that might have to do.
01:14:56He never bailed out on Richie, the kid shot himself.
01:14:59And tomorrow morning, I shall recommend the Air Corps on a 300 of those ships.
01:15:04It must make you feel very happy, my dear, to see your father's dream come true.
01:15:19I saw it, boss.
01:15:21Mr. Kirk, I want a compliment.
01:15:23That was a nice piece of work.
01:15:25Those are my sentiments, too.
01:15:26Well, of course, the ship had a lot to do with it.
01:15:29Excuse me, gentlemen.
01:15:30Surely.
01:15:31That airplane will put this country first in aviation.
01:15:36Well, Kirk, that was a mighty keen job of flying.
01:15:38Save the bouquets, Major.
01:15:40The only thing I flew today was a coat hanger in my locker.
01:15:43What?
01:15:44Then who flew that ship?
01:15:46Paul Redman.
01:15:47Redman?
01:15:48Yes.
01:15:49And there's something else.
01:15:51This is sort of a family matter, sir, but I think you ought to know.
01:15:56Redman didn't bail out on Richie.
01:15:59The kid committed suicide.
01:16:03That's why Paul took the ship up and burned it.
01:16:06Cover up everything.
01:16:13Where is Paul?
01:16:15I don't know.
01:16:16Washed up with us, I suppose.
01:16:18Can't say that I blame him.
01:16:20We've got to find him.
01:16:23Maybe you can find him, Marty.
01:16:25I hope you can.
01:16:27He's a swell fella.
01:16:31So are you, Kirk.
01:16:32Have you seen Paul?
01:16:45Well, no.
01:16:47I've got to find him.
01:16:51Love will find a way.
01:16:54Hey, grease monkey.
01:16:55Get this flying key couple out on the line and warm her up.
01:16:58What for?
01:16:59For Mr. and Mrs. Cupid.
01:17:00Don't call me stupid.
01:17:01Don't call me stupid.
01:17:13Oh, Wally!
01:17:15Wally!
01:17:16Wally!
01:17:18Wally!
01:17:20The plane's on fire.
01:17:22Oh!
01:17:24Quiet, I'm writing a love letter.
01:17:25Wally!
01:17:26Wally!
01:17:27Wally!
01:17:28Oh!
01:17:29Well, what do I do at the plane really catches on fire?
01:17:30Jump, you got a parachute?
01:17:32Well, but suppose the parachute don't open?
01:17:33Then you take it back and they refund your money.
01:17:34Well, why didn't you say so?
01:17:36Wally!
01:17:38No, sir.
01:17:39They sure got that skywriting down to a sign, haven't they?
01:17:44Wally!
01:17:46Wally!
01:17:48Wally!
01:17:50Wally!
01:17:51Wally!
01:17:53Wally!
01:17:54Wally!
01:17:55Wally!
01:17:56Wally!
01:17:57Wally!
01:17:58Wally!
01:17:59Wally!
01:18:00Wally!
01:18:01Wally!
01:18:02Wally!
01:18:03Wally!
01:18:04I'm afraid I'm just a couple of people always trying to get along.
01:18:16That isn't fair but your life won't be wrong from now on I'm giving me a short interview with the
