Rules Don't Apply Page #10

- Yes, sir.

Here we go.

We got banana nut?

Have we...

- Uh...

- A pint and a half, sir.

Pint and a half.

Finally! It's been far too long!

(laughing) Far too long.

Spoons.

President Somoza is coming aboard!

Mr. Hughes!

(chuckles) Welcome to Nicaragua.

You look incredible!

- You look wonderful.

- Thank you. So do you.

- You have not aged.

- Thank you.

I wanna know

what you're doing in...

(Speaking Spanish)

There's an important message for you.

(Speaking Spanish)

"The United States

Federal Court decided today...

(aide continues speaking Spanish)

"in the case of TWA...

(aide continues speaking Spanish)

"a judgment of $645 million

"against Howard Hughes...

(aide continues speaking Spanish)

"who refused to appear."

This cannot be good.

They think I'll have to sell

the Hughes Tool Company to pay it?

I'll never sell my daddy's company.

My daddy would say it's time to call

Raymond Holliday down in Houston.

Get him to come down here.

(bell tolling)

So...

I just want you to know

I don't think you're doing

the wrong thing.

And I am so relieved

that you're not

going back to Hollywood.

Mom, I haven't told another

living soul about this.

Doctor Diamond is a good man,

and he's coming in on a Sunday.

So, shall we go?

Now, when you were 10 years old,

when you used to come down

to your daddy's factory...

Raymond, my daddy always trusted me

to take care of things.

Now, trying to take care

of the Hughes Tool Company

at a time like this.

That's like trying to

take care of my daddy.

You're not your

daddy's father, Howard.

Your daddy's dead.

No, he's not.

He's in my DNA.

Oh, Lord!

You know, you're gonna die, too.

Who you gonna leave it to?

Whose DNA you gonna be in?

In my opinion,

if you don't sign it now,

they're gonna do what they said.

They're gonna withdraw the offer

to buy the damn company.

So, if I sign this thing,

would they still keep

the Hughes name on the company?

You don't drill for oil

with a name, Howard.

(chuckles)

You know, I'm planning on

doing a little flyin'.

Do you wanna come?

- Do a little flyin'?

- Hmm.

What?

I'm just not sure...

you ought to be thinkin'

about flyin' anymore, Howard.

Come on in, Frank.

(sighs)

Okay. Please give this

to the gentleman, and

tell him that I have asked him

to please consider

keeping my father's name

on the company.

This is signed.

Mr. Hughes has asked you

to consider keeping

his father's name on the company.

(snickers)

(Spanish music on stereo)

I notice you don't say grace anymore.

I don't mean to be negative,

but do we live

in Nicaragua now?

Although, I am kinda getting

to like Managua.

(indistinct chatter)

Wave, Frank.

(coughs and laughs)

Whoo. Let's keep it going.

(Spanish music on stereo)

(rumbling)

(panting)

Don't worry, don't worry!

I know how to handle earthquakes!

We're going to London.

Check out the tax setup,

Frank, and get me some codeine.

The University of Virginia's

going coed.

They're finally letting women in

so I might even go for a doctorate

and do my dissertation on music.

Good for you.

Thanks for not throwing

my things away, Nadine.

I had no idea where to send them.

Where do we call you in Virginia?

Maybe it's better if I call you.

(Frank mumbling)

Therefore, the percentages noted

in the column were percentage of...

(mumbling)

(on speakers) Frank, we've been

in London too long with no fun.

I want you

at the Gatwick Airport in 45 minutes

in the DC-3.

(line disconnects)

Give the man some credit.

He knows he can't fly.

Mr. Hughes!

So happy to finally meet you

in person, sir. At last!

I'm sure you need

no introduction to the DC-3. This one,

of course, is equipped with

the Pratt & Whitney R-1830

Twin Wasp engines,

- which improve...

- I know the DC-3 very well.

Um...

Certainly an improvement over the

original Cyclone 9s which were wanting

- in the old oomph department.

- Where to, gentlemen?

Where do we go?

I don't know, sir.

If we are heading east,

then that would be northern

France, possibly Belgium.

What do you think,

wing commander? Belgian waffles?

How does it sound?

Uh, I don't know.

All right, never mind.

You want a chicken sandwich?

- Not hungry.

- Not hungry. Okay-

How about you? Do you want

a chicken sandwich?

- No, thank you.

- I got three.

- I'm fine. Just eaten.

- No?

(laughing)

Did you know that

you're 20% less likely to black out

during a dive when you're my age?

Because the arteries

are less expansive.

No, I didn't know it, sir.

Remember that.

- Something to look forward to.

- Yes!

Okay, let's go.

(wind whooshing)

I think we may have a door still open.

Relax! I like it like that!

Just close the cockpit.

Gentlemen, you ain't

seen nothin' yet.

You know that line

Al Jolson used to use,

"You ain't heard nothin' yet"?

First time he ever sang it,

I saw him

upstairs on the roof

at the Amsterdam Theatre.

And it was

a big charity show.

Everybody's big stars,

big stars, and Jolson says,

"I gotta close the show,

"because I'm the world's

greatest entertainer

"and nobody, but nobody,

follows Jolson."

Well, everybody said,

"Okay, Jolson, you're the greatest.

"You close the show."

There was only one problem though.

Jolson didn't know

who he was following.

(laughs) Caruso.

He's gotta get up and sing

after Enrico Caruso,

the world's greatest voice! Ha!

So, Caruso comes out,

he's singing in Italian.

The audience just goes crazy.

- They go crazy.

- (plane clattering)

They're on their feet cheering.

They won't sit down,

they're cheering!

Caruso goes off,

Jolson comes out.

But he can't get them to shut up,

because they want more Caruso.

And finally Jolson shuts them up.

He makes them sit down

and that's when he says it.

He says, "You know,

you ain't heard nothing yet!"

"You ain't heard nothing yet!"

ls it true

what they say about Dixie

Does the sun really shine

all the time?

Do the sweet

magnolias blossom

Round everybody's door?

Do folks keep eating possum

'til they can't eat no more?

Is it true

what they say about Swanee?

Is a dream by that stream

So sublime?

Do they laugh, do they love

like they say in all the song?

If it's true,

that's where I belong

Swanee

Take a look at this.

How I love ya, how I love ya

My dear old Swanee

I'd give the world to be

Among the folks in D-I-X-I-E

Even though my mammy's

waitin' for me, prayin' for me

Hey, Frank!

Flyin' really gives a guy a chance

to do some thinking, doesn't it?

You know what

I'm thinking, Frank?

I am thinking that

it's time for me to buy

Pan American Airlines!

You ain't heard nothin' yet!

(children laughing)

Hey, where you goin'?

Come back here.

Well, tell hotel security

to tell the mother...

Yes, there's three of them.

They're all up here.

Whoa, whoa, whoa.

Go this way.

I have no idea how they got in.

Come on, kid. Please!

You gotta get out of here. Kid.

I know where you are, kid.

Please come out.
