Pan Am (2011–2012): Season 1, Episode 9 - Pan Am - full transcript

NARRATOR:
Previously on Pan Am...

Look, I get to
see the world, Sam.

When was the last time
you left the village?

I don't need
to see the world
to change it.

(ENGINE ROARS)

Marry me!
I can't say yes now.

Pan Am stewardess can
travel all around the world
without suspicion.

You volunteered for this.
They will let you out.

Are you going my way?

Sometimes the stars align.

You're different
from other girls.



Thank you.

KENNEDY: (AMPLIFIED VOICE)
And democracy
is not perfect.

(KNOCK ON DOOR)

You're casting
a shadow, Kate.

I take it you missed
the signal?

Stood me up
at the park.
I didn't miss it.

Are you gonna
invite me in?

We had our
exit interview.

Well, it doesn't work
that way, Kate.

It's like a marriage.
Saying "yes" is
the easy part.

Now would be a good time
to invite me in.

Nosy neighbors.

I have a job for you.

No.
(TURNS LOCK)



No more jobs, no more
mysterious packages,

no more betrayals.

I'm going to London.

Just hear me out, Kate.

And if I don't, what?

This time I get
dragged away by the men
in trench coats?

(SIGHS)

There's a dealer in London
who's gotten ahold
of a list of names.

CIA assets.

He's selling that list
to the Soviets.

I told you, no.

All you need to do
is deliver this to
your contact in London.

Inside is
a counterfeit list.

Anderson will take care
of the rest.

(SIGHS DEEPLY)

(WHISPERS) Anderson.

(NORMAL VOICE)
And what if I refuse?

I'm gonna make this plain
for you, Kate.

Your exit from
the agency can go
a few different ways,

a simple matter of
a little paperwork
and a handshake,

or we can make this
your last mission...

And your last flight.

You would really cost me
my job at Pan Am?

I'll do whatever I have to,
to get this done.

Just like you did
with Bridget?

(GROOVY SONG PLAYING)

Here.
Oh, thank you.

(KNOCK ON DOOR)

(RHYTHMIC KNOCKS)

Sam?

Hey, Mags,
sorry I'm late.

Late for what?

You know, hitting
the wild blue yonder,

crossing the pond.

(IMITATES BRITISH ACCENT)
Chip chip cheerio
and all that rot.

Sam, what are
you doing here?

I'm leaving for London
in two hours.

I know. I'm going with you.
Remember?

Oh! Hi, Sam.

Laura. Good look.

Think you can
sneak me into first class?

(SIGHS) Sam, I...

Do not do this to me,
Maggie.

You promised you'd get me
to London.

(MOUTH FULL)
What's in London?

The World
Atomic Symposium,

biggest gathering
of death merchants
on the planet.

"Ban the Bomb" UK
is gonna crash
their little war fest,

and I've got a spot
on the front lines.

How long have...

(NORMAL VOICE) How long
have you been part of
the "Ban the Bomb" movement?

Since saving mankind
from extinction became
a moral imperative.

I think that is
very noble.

I mean, what could
be more important
than saving the world?

How about
saving my job?

Won't be any job left
when the world winds up in
a pile of radioactive ash.

(SCOFFS)

Come on, Maggie.
You owe me.

Dean?

You better get a move on.
We're flying in two hours.

Is this how it works,

you kiss a girl once
and you become
her chauffer?

Actually, it was you
who kissed me.

Oh, then maybe I should
drive you,

which will give you a chance
to put on your uniform.

I said we're flying,

not flying Pan Am.

Well, you said
you wanted to learn.

With these? (CHUCKLES)

Yeah.
It's a Stearman PT-17.

Crop duster. Same plane
I learned to fly on.

A crop duster?

You are getting
your wings today.

Who's in
First Class today?

Earl of Halifax,
two movie stars,

and a United States
Congressman.

A Congressman? Who?

Oh. Christopher Rawlings.

I hear he's
very handsome.

I'm not worried
about how he looks.

You mean Sam?
No, the Earl.

I'm sure he'll be on
his best behavior.

Then you don't
know Sam.

Listen,
you've gotta help me
keep an eye on him.

If anyone finds out
about this...

Find out about what?

Uh, VIP on
our London flight,
a Congressman Rawlings.

Oh, great man. Met him
at a fund-raiser last year.

Let me guess.
Fat cats for progress?

Hysterical.

Let's just make sure
the Congressman gets

the VIP treatment today,
okay?

Emphasis on the "V."

Aye aye, Captain.

Oh, no,
you're not our Captain.

Where is Dean?
Called in sick.

Huh. Must be something
going around.

Colette's sick, too.

Who's Dean's replacement?

(PEN CLATTERS)
Captain Thornton.

Dennis Thornton?
You know him?

Captain on my very first
round-the-world.

Two weeks of war stories
and wandering hands.

Steer clear.

(ENGINES ROARING)

Ladies.

KATE AND LAURA: Captain.

I'm sorry,

but, uh,
your hat is where?

Oh. The hat pin broke.

I was just trying
to fix it.

I don't care about
your excuses, Miss...

Cameron.
Laura Cameron.

Next time I see you
out of uniform,

you'll be written up.

He always does that.
Don't let it get to you.

How? That man is awful.

Ugh. Tell me about it.

Six hours of
World War II stories
to look forward to.

Remind me to kill Dean
next time I see him.

You're jeopardizing the life
of every living being
on this planet!

Whoa.
It's murder
on a worldwide scale!

I mean,
when are you people
gonna realize

that nuclear weapons
are nothing

but a death sentence
for the human race?

Sir! You need
to calm down.

SAM: You need to get
your hands off me,
flyboy!

Sorry about this,
Congressman.

We're gonna take care
of this right away.
It's okay, Captain.

Let him talk.
It's a free country.

Well, actually,
I'm the First Officer.

Uh, Ted Vanderway.
We met at, uh,
midtown fund-raiser.

Of course.
Good to see you again.

(CHUCKLES) Yes.

What are you,
the president of
his fan club?

Sir, you need to
take your seat.

Hey, Maggie,
get this guy off of me.

TED: Wait,
you know this guy?

(CHUCKLES)

(ENGINES ROARING)

Stay here
and don't move,
don't talk,

and if possible,
don't even breathe.

Mags, come on.
Do you know who that was?

You're talking
and breathing.

Christopher Rawlings,

Congressman Warmonger
himself.

So?

So he's probably
on his way to
the symposium.

This is our big chance.

Your chance
to be the nice,
respectful passenger

you promised to be.

But I...
No "buts."

For once in
your life, Sam,
just try to fit in.

You mean like you?

I am my principles,
Maggie.

I can't separate that
from who I am.

Yep. (SIGHS)
That was my 44th mission
in my P-38 Lightning.

That little gem of a plane
was practically a part of me.

They don't make 'em
like that anymore.

All this...clutter.

No maneuverability.

Anyway, the frogs were
hunkered down outside
of Bayeux,

and only the Jerries
were on the road.

So, if something moves,
we're supposed to
just light it up.

(TED GROANS)

Coffee, gentlemen?
Oh, bless you.

I'll let you know
when coffee is served.
Dismissed.

Um...

Scoot, missy.
That'll be all.

(LAUGHS)
(MOUTHS WORD)

So anyway,
I spotted this convoy
of Jerry trucks,

and I'm thinking
to myself,

"Hey, this is my lucky day.
I'm gonna take 'em all out."

I can't believe
we're hooking.

(LAUGHS)

We're not...
We're not "hooking."
Playing hooky.

What you just said
means something else
entirely.

What did I say?

It involves charging
by the hour.

Oh! Uh, no.
(LAUGHS)

Ahem. The apples
look beautiful.

Yeah. McIntosh.
My mom's favorite.

We'll bring her a dozen.

Your mother?
Yeah.

No, I thought
we were going flying.

We are.

Here you go.
Thank you.

Crop duster belongs
to my father.

He keeps it
behind the barn.

I'm going to meet
your parents?

It's no big deal.

We always had people
stopping by,

friends, neighbors.

My high school
baseball team
practically lived there.

Oh, Dean, I'm not sure.

Isn't this
a little different?

It'll be fun.

You know,
we'll have lunch,
exchange pleasantries.

(STARTS ENGINE)
And then...

We'll fly.

Congressman Rawlings,

I am so sorry
about what happened
with that man.

Oh, it's okay.
Everyone's entitled
to an opinion,

even if
it's completely wrong.

Well, please allow me
to offer you a free drink,

courtesy of Pan Am.

I thought
they were already free.

But this one's
coming from me.

Well, I wish I could,
but, uh, it'll put me
right to sleep.

Big speech tomorrow.

The World Atomic
Symposium?

You've heard of it?

You'd be surprised
at the things
I've heard of.

Well, I don't doubt that.

I bet you've got
a few surprises under
that cute blue hat.

(TAPPING FOOT)

(MOUTHS WORD)

(TONES CHIME)

I'll get it.
(TRAY CLATTERS)

This is Laura.

Right away, Captain.

Captain Bligh
wants his coffee.

(CHUCKLES) Do you want me
to bring it?

No, thank you.

I can do it.

(SWITCHES CLICK)

You wanted coffee,
Captain?

Oh, thank you, Lori.
It's Laura, sir.

Uh, would you
do me a favor, honey?

Uh, this damn
air speed gauge
is fogged up.

Uh, would you mind
cleaning it for me?

Of course not.

Aah!
God! What the hell?

Oh! I... I am so sorry.

It... It must be
the turbulence.

You get her off
of my flight deck
right now, Vanderway.

You should
probably, um...

What an idiot.

Laura, why are you
hiding back here?

We're ready to go.

Me? I'm...
I'm not hiding.

DENNIS: Miss Cameron!

(CHUCKLES)

(SIGHS) Miss Cameron!

You think
you're pretty clever

with that little
coffee stunt, huh?

No, sir, I didn't...

Well, I hope
the London Base Manager

appreciates
your sense of humor

because I'm filing paperwork
for disciplinary action.

Captain,
I'm sorry if I...

Oh, you'll be sorry,
all right.

TED: Captain.

Can I speak to you
for a moment?
Not now.

Well, actually, sir,
it has to be right now.

(LAUGHS)

(STIFLES LAUGH)

Please tell me
it was piping hot.

(LAUGHING)
Oh, you're my hero.

Shh!

(SPEAKING INAUDIBLY)
LAURA: What is Ted doing?

Oh, probably making
it worse. (LAUGHS)

(MEN SPEAKING INAUDIBLY)

What happened?
What did you say
to him?

Oh, I told him
he could take
that paperwork

and shove it right up
his cargo hold.

You didn't.

(LAUGHS) No,
but it's taken care of.

Ted, thank you.

No, thank you.

After that little trick
you pulled,

that blowhard
didn't say a word for
the last thousand miles.

No, I really owe you.

Well, that's good to hear, uh,
'cause I'm ready to collect.

Oh, please.

I'm not a total cad
all the time.

Then what is it?

It's not a what, it's a who.
Amanda Hartford Mason.

You want my help
with a girl?

Uh-huh.

MAN: * There are girls

* Just right
for some kissing

* And I mean

* To kiss me a few

* Oh, those girls
don't know...

Let's move a little
faster, ladies.

This place is crawling
with lobby lizards.

I've never seen so many
in one place.

It's the uniform.
It turns grown men
to mush.

Seems to cause
memory problems, too.

They all forget
they're married.

(LAUGHS)

Laura, grab my key for me.
I need to make a call.

* 'Cause time
is a-wastin'

* I've got a lot
of livin' to do

Pardon me.

Would you happen to
have a cigarette?

I seem to have left mine
in the other jacket.

(RECEIVER CLATTERS)

Yes, of course.
(UNZIPS BAG)

Very good. Thank you.

Okay. I've done my job.

Hold on, Kate.

What? Richard said
I give you the case
and I'm through.

I'm through.
Hardly.

The mission's changed.

You're just
getting started.

There's been
a hitch, Kate.

I did what
I was asked.

Whatever the hitch is,
it's not my problem.

You don't understand.
This is an urgent
situation.

The list was to be
delivered to the Soviets
three days from now.

Instead, they're coming
for it tonight.

I've had to improvise.
I need you to be my decoy.

Decoy for what?

A certain jeweler.

Cyrus Bolger.

In his possession
is the actual list,

not this fake that
you've supplied to us.

Our people are going to
break into his safe
and switch the two.

And how exactly
do you suppose
I decoy this Mr. Bolger?

Simply by being yourself,
a Pan Am stewardess.

I, however...
(SETS DOWN BOTTLE)

Will be Mr. Caldwell
down from Liverpool...

(POURS LIQUOR)

Here to close
a business deal...

(IMITATES SCOUSE ACCENT)
And get reacquainted with
my favorite stewardess.

Well, at least
I'm your favorite.

(NORMAL VOICE) Caldwell likes
to buy expensive baubles
for his paramour.

That's our entree
to the jeweler.

I told you,
I'm not interested.

Understood, but you may be
familiar with some of
the names on that list.

Do I have
your interest now?

Who's on that list?

Bridget Pierce.

Among others.

And Niko Lonza?

He's at the top.

Let me walk you
through the mission.

(SHIFTS GEAR)

(TURNS OFF ENGINE)

This is it.

(CHUCKLES) Don't worry.
you look great.

Nobody looks great
after a hundred miles
in a convertible.

They are gonna love you.

I just wasn't
expecting to...
Hey...

I didn't tell you

because I didn't want
to make a big deal
out of it.

Mmm.
Okay?

Dean!
Bill, it's Dean!

(LAUGHS)

Hiya, Mom. Hi.

Oh. Oh.
Mmm.

Bill, they're here!

I can see 'em,
Marjorie.
(LAUGHS)

I've got eyes.
(SIGHS)
Oh.

And this
must be Bridget.

No. (CHUCKLES)

Uh... Mom, Pop,
this is, uh,
this is Colette.

Oh, dear. Colette.
Well... (CHUCKLES)

Mr. and Mrs. Lowrey,
it's a pleasure to
meet you both.

You're French?

Oui.
Oh.

Colette and I work
together.

She's, uh,
she's a Pan Am stewardess.

BOTH: Oh.

So what happened
to Bridget?

Well, come on in, you two.
Let's have some lunch.

Yes.
(CHUCKLES)

(WOMEN SPEAKING INDISTINCTLY)

Oh. Amanda Mason
was the bane
of my adolescence.

This girl was a cross
between Grace Kelly
and...and an ice cube.

She wouldn't give you
the time of day?

She wouldn't give me
the month.

She wouldn't
give me the year,
for that matter.

Anyway,
our parents are
best friends,

weekends in East Hampton
and all that,

and Amanda, oh,
went out of her way

to make my life
absolutely miserable.

She was mean to you?

No, worse.
She ignored me.

And you're going out
with this girl why?

Sneak attack
from the parents.

"Oh, Edward. You're going
to be in London
at the same time."

Blah, blah, blah.
(CHUCKLING)

"Oh, what
a wonderful coincidence."

Your parents call you
Edward?

(SIGHS) When they're trying
to ruin my life,

which is always.

(CHUCKLES) Okay.
What do you
want me to do?

I want you to be
my girlfriend.

I made a reservation at 7:30
at the hotel dining room.

At 8:00,
you come over to our table,
steaming mad at me,

which shouldn't be much
of a stretch for you,

but you gotta come at me
with both barrels,
you know?

Hey, you can wear
that little black number,

the one
that shows off your...
Okay, Ted,

I agreed
to this favor reluctantly.

You can't tell me
what to wear.

Fair enough.

You could just tell
your parents no.

(CHUCKLES)
Way too complicated.

But having me pretend to be
your deranged girlfriend
makes sense?

Yeah.
Glad you see it my way.

(PATS BACK)

(CHUCKLES)

(INDISTINCT CONVERSATIONS)

(PIANO PLAYING JAZZ)

Sam, what are you
doing here?

I thought you'd be filling
Molotov cocktails by now.

No, the only cocktail
I'm filling...

Emptying...
(SIGHS) Is right here.

What happened
to "Ban the Bomb" UK?

Oh. Arrested.

(SIGHS) Locked up.
Thrown in the pokey.

Oh. Sam, I'm so sorry.

Well, it's a good thing
you weren't with them.

How can you say that?
I should have been
with them.

You wanted to
get arrested?

If that's
what was necessary.

You can't effect change
without personal sacrifice.

How is going to jail
the answer?

You talk about
seeing the world
to change it, Maggie,

but you're
just another tourist.

I am not.

You meet important people
in your job.

When was the last time
you talked to them...

(SIGHS)
Really talked to them?

I talk to people
all the time.

Sure,
to take a lunch order.

You have a captive audience
at 35,000 feet,

and you won't take
advantage of it.

(SLURPS)

You could make
a difference...
(CLATTERS)

But you don't.

(UTENSILS CLINKING)

Paris must be
the most beautiful city
in the world.

What was it like growing
up there?

Well, actually, Mom,
she's, uh,

she's from
the countryside, so...

Oh.
So, yeah,
not so different from here.

Oh.
Yeah.

And how long have you two
been flying together?

Well, we've been
on the same crew
for a few months.

Yeah. She... She speaks
four different languages...

Oh.
And she makes, uh,

this, um, it's a Tart...
Tarte tatin?

(FRENCH ACCENT)
Tarte tatin.

(LAUGHS) It's, uh...
(LAUGHS) French.

It's...yeah.
It tastes exactly like
your apple cobbler.

So good.

Uh, hold on here.

I don't want to point out
the elephant in the room,
but I have to ask.

What the hell happened
to Bridget?

Bill.
Dad.

(SIGHS) Nothing personal,
Colette,

but the last time
my son was here,

he told us he was
getting engaged to
a girl named Bridget.

Hey, Dad. Can we talk
about this later?

It's always later
with you.

You didn't call us
when you left
the Air Force.

You didn't tell us
when you took
the Pan Am job,

and now you're
jetting around
God-knows-where.

How are we supposed to know
what's going on with you?

I'm here now.
Isn't that good enough?

On what occasion?
You two getting engaged?

Bill, please.
(CHUCKLES)

No.

Are you expecting?

No.
DEAN: Come on.

MARJORIE: Bill!
As I live and breathe!

I'm sorry.
Would you excuse me?

Oh.

What are you thinking?

(BIRDS CHIRPING)

Colette, listen.

(CHUCKLES) You gotta...
understand about
my parents.

Take me home, Dean.

Come on.
I thought you wanted
to learn how to fly.

I think I've learned enough
for one day.

I'm sorry. I'm...

You know, I never really
expected today
to go like this.

Well, how did you think
it would go?

You would pretend
I was Bridget

until your parents
figured it out?

No, I... I figured
they'd meet you,

and...and they'd think
you're fantastic,
like I do, and...

And the embarrassment
of breaking up

with your fiancee
would be ignored?

(SIGHS) Okay.
I messed up.

I'm sorry.

Can we start over?

No. It's not that simple.

Look, I realize
how awkward that was
back there,

but you gotta understand
that that has nothing to do
with us.

Us? (CHUCKLES)
I don't think there is
an "us," Dean.

You're still in love
with Bridget.
No.

Yes.
No.

Yes. That's why you
didn't tell your parents.

You still imagine
she'll show up one day

like nothing happened,
like she never left you.

And you're so sure
that every guy
that you fall for

is gonna up
and leave you
for another woman.

I'm not going
to let myself
get hurt again.

So then why would you
kiss me in Miami?

Honestly, I don't know.
Just take me home.

No. No.
Please take me home.

No.
Why... Why not?

Because you're asking...
Let go. (SIGHS)

You're asking
the wrong damn question.

You want to know why
I never told my parents

that I broke up
with Bridget.

(PANTING)

Well, for the same reason
that I never brought her
up here to meet them.

There's just something
about her that wasn't real,

but after two weeks,

I brought you.

So I'm real?

Yeah.

This is real.

Dean. (INHALES DEEPLY)

(PANTING)

They're beautiful.
Yes.

Well, just last week,
the Duchess of Argyll
was in,

admiring
the very same pieces.

(GASPS) The Duchess?

See, I do have
good taste.

Well, it might be
a little excessive,
though.

Darling, after all
I do for you,
aren't I worth it?

Well, I suppose they
do go with your eyes.

(MEN CHUCKLE)

Can I try
the diamond chips again?

Of course, madam.

There we are.
Oh.

Oh, it's perfect.
Mmm.

Of course, it'll have
to be sized for me.

Oh, we can do that
for you.

It... It will be ready
tomorrow morning.

Oh, no. (SIGHS)

I'm a stewardess
for Pan Am,

and our flight leaves
early tomorrow.

Perhaps you could
bring it by our hotel

later this evening,
say, 8:00?

If it wouldn't be
too much of an imposition.

Of course not.

(GASPS)
(CHUCKLES)

Oh!

You are so good to me.
(CHUCKLES)

Mmm.

(INDISTINCT CONVERSATIONS)

Wow.
Laura, you look...

Wait. You can't meet
the Ice Princess

with your tie
all cockeyed.

(CHUCKLES) Thanks.

Now don't forget, 8:00.

You come marching in,
and you make a scene.

Give me
full-on Liz Taylor.

Cleopatra
or Butterfield 8?

Whatever's crazier.

I could throw
a drink on you.
Pretty good at that.

(LAUGHS)

I don't know why
I'm so nervous about this.

I'm a Pan Am pilot,
for God sake.

If I can make 200,000 pounds
of metal fly,

I can handle a half-hour
of misery, right?

For the record,

you're not
just a pilot.

You're a decent man,
and she is going to regret

the day she ever
let you get away.

(WHISPERS)
You should go.

(CLATTERS)

(CHAIR SCRAPES FLOOR)

Congressman Rawlings?

I'm Maggie Ryan,
your Pan Am stewardess.

Of course.
How could I forget?

(CHUCKLES) Well, I wanted
to apologize again

for the trouble
on the flight.

That's not necessary,
Miss Ryan.

Maggie.

Maggie. It comes
with the territory.

Can't have a circus
without a clown or two.

(CHUCKLES)

Congressman,
if you don't mind
my saying so,

your position
on nuclear weapons,

it's wrongheaded.

We need a testing ban.

Well, that's an awfully
simplistic view of things.

So you're saying
that 11 of our greatest
atomic scientists,

including Einstein,
are simplistic?

Einstein didn't have to
man a sentry post
in Korea

and stare down
the Chinese army.

And you did?

Yes.

Look,
I support regulation,

but banning
nuclear weapons testing
is just plain naive.

Well, I bet I can
change your mind.

No, you can't... (SIGHS)

But I'll give you
three flights
of stairs to try.

Okay.
Every industrialized
nation known...

Take the Cuban
missile crisis.

(SWITCH CLICKS)
Take it where?

The perfect example
of the need

for better dialogue
between the superpowers.

Dialogue?
Have you met Khrushchev?

No. (CHUCKLES)

Arrogant.
Lots of ear hair.

Right. Of course.

You know Khrushchev.
(CHUCKLES)

Well...
My point was...is...

You realize
you're in my room.

Well, that's 'cause
I haven't finished yet.
(CHUCKLES)

What's this?

Cognac. VSOP.

I know what it is.

I'm not here
for a nightcap.

Indulge me.

You're not going to make
your argument with this.

And you're not going
to make yours without it.

Enough of my job.
(SIGHS)

Tell me about
traveling the world.

You must have seen
some pretty exotic places.

Sure. Potsdam, Yalta,
Hiroshima...

(SNORTS)

(CHUCKLES)
What was that?
What?

You snorted.

(CHUCKLES) No, I didn't.

That was definitely
a snort.

Uh... (SIGHS)
A... A chortle.

Maybe a chuckle.

You're not taking me
seriously, are you?

You've made it this far,
and I haven't
called security.

(EXHALES DEEPLY)

Teddy?

Teddy. (GASPS)

Uh... (CHUCKLES)
Oh, it's been...

Ooh. Years.
Forever.

(CHUCKLES) Uh, yeah.
(CHUCKLES)

Look at you.
Huh?

You've got shoulders.

Oh, yeah.

(CHUCKLES)
Well, once I learned

scrawny was no longer
in style. (CHUCKLES)

(CHUCKLES) It's so good
to see you, Teddy.

Yeah.
Mmm. You always
were so funny.

(CHUCKLES) Oh. Yeah.
Well...

Now I'm funny
with shoulders,
apparently. (LAUGHS)

(LAUGHS) Yeah.

Yeah.

Um, uh, please.
(CHUCKLES)

Uh, yeah.

(WHISPERS) Yeah.

(SIGHS)
We've been over this.
I know what to do.

A half-hour.
That's all the time I need
to switch the lists.

And this is it for me?
I do this, and I'm out?

Yes. Yes, you are out.

There he is,
right on time.

He's on his way up
to you.

Kate.
What?

Stick to the mission.

I know how to be
a stewardess.

I mean about us,
our story.

Don't worry, Spencer.
I'll be fine.

Spencer?

I gave you a first name.

Hello?

Be careful, Kate.

(KNOCK ON DOOR)

He's here. Go.

(RECEIVER CLATTERS)

Good evening.
Evening.

I have the bracelet.
Oh, come in.

It's so kind of you
to bring it here.

Diamonds are expensive,
but service is priceless.

(BOTH CHUCKLE)

I can't wait
to try it on.

Well, the sizing was
a little more difficult

than I thought,
but I think
you will like it.

Mmm.

Oh, very nice accommodations
for a stewardess.

Yes. I don't usually
have a room this big,

but Mr. Caldwell...
Well, he insists
on the best.

And you deserve it,
right?

Mmm. (CHUCKLES)

Where is
your Mr. Caldwell?

Oh, he called.
He's running late.

Oh.

Well, don't worry.
He's coming
with a checkbook.

Yes, well, I don't have
much time myself.

Uh, let me show you.

(CLINKS)

Kennedy said
the test-ban treaty
was only a first step.

First step to surrender.

(SIGHS) You're a cynic.
Lighter?

If anyone's a cynic,
it's Kennedy,

Placating the left
for '64.

(CLICKS)

Well, at least JFK has
the right idea.

And that is?

Relaxation of tensions.

Mutual disarmament?

(LIGHTER CLICKS)

(GLASS CLATTERS)

A truce.

(LIGHTER CLATTERS)

(CRICKETS CHIRPING)

What did you think
of the flight?

Takeoff was good...

But the landing
was better.

(BOTH LAUGHING)

You were right,
you know?

About what?

Back when we were
on the ground in Haiti...

I felt like I was coming
apart at the seams.

(SIGHS)

You were wonderful.

(SIGHS)

I didn't think
we were gonna
make it out of there.

But we did.

Well, you were right
about rescuing the girl.

I never would have
forgiven myself.

You don't need
to say this.

You saved us.

(SIGHS)

Yeah, but you saved me.

Does this mean
I earned my wings?

Not yet.

(FLY ME TO THE MOON
PLAYING)

* Fly me to the moon

* And let me dream
among the stars

(BOTH LAUGHING)

Do you remember
that summer?

Oh. Pfft.
Block Island...

(CHUCKLES)
And your dad's
crazy clambake?

Oh, yeah. You used to
wear that, um, uh,
flowery headband.

(CHUCKLES) Yeah.
How do you remember that?

Wow. You were right
about the lobster.
(CHUCKLES)

* In other words

(WHISPERING) I think
I have order envy.

(CHUCKLES)
We can share.

No. No, no, no.
(CHUCKLES)

I'll suffer through
my bad decision.
(CHUCKLES)

If I can make it
through that clambake,

I... I can survive this.

Well, if you do,
I think you might
deserve a reward.

(CHUCKLES) Oh. Oh, yeah?
What kind of reward?

The kind that comes wrapped
in a flowery headband.

(CHUCKLES)
Really?

* In other words

* Please be true

* In other words

* I love you

* Oh

Well, well, well.
(SIGHS)

Look what the cat
dragged in.

Captain Thornton.

Oh. Dennis, okay?

(CHUCKLES)

So you and, uh,
Vanderway, huh?

Me and Vanderway what?

Oh. You don't have
to hide it.

He told me all about
you two.

Oh, he did?

I'd say
you're pretty lucky.

Not every fella
talks that way
about their girl.

Really? Um...

What did he say?

That you were wonderful,

smart, funny,
kindhearted.

He said that you were
the best thing

that's ever happened
to him,

and he didn't want to see
you get into trouble.

Ted said all that
about me?

Yep.

Like I said, lucky girl.

* In other words

* Darlin',
won't you kiss me?

* In other words

Oh, cookies.

* I love you

You know, my flight back
isn't for a few days.

There's a lot we could do
between now and then.

Yeah, if I didn't have
a date with a bunch of
stuffy nuclear scientists.

(BOTH CHUCKLE)

I'd love to see you
in action.

Well, haven't you already?

(CHUCKLES) Ooh! Come on.
I want to see your speech.

No. No, no. You don't...
You don't want to do that.

Oh, sure I do.
Where is it?

(SIGHS)

Maggie, wait.

Chris,
you can't say all this.

Well, I told you
you weren't going
to like it.

You don't honestly
believe all this?

You're damn right, I do.
Give... Come on.

It's practically fascism!
Now give me
the speech.

Mussolini was
a childhood hero.

Give me the...
Give me the...
What are you doing?

Saving you
from yourself.

Maggie!
(POUNDING ON DOOR)

(LOCK CLICKS)
Come on.
Open the door.

Almost there.

(CLICKS)

Is that smoke?

Maggie, that speech is
government property.

Not anymore.

(CLATTERS)

This is the right thing
to do, Chris.
Believe me.

In a couple of years,
you will thank me for it.

Yeah? Well, I don't
need those pages.

I have
a photographic memory.
It's all up here.

(FLAMES CRACKLING)

(GASPS) Oh, my God!

Yeah, I know.
It's a real gift.

Oh, my God.

It's lovely.
(FIRE ALARM SOUNDING)

BOLGER: Uh, we'll have to
go back to the shop.

We'll have Mr. Caldwell
meet us there to
pay for the bracelet.

The shop? No, wait.
Uh, he's going to
be here any minute.

You do hear
the fire alarm,
don't you?

Uh, it's probably
a false alarm.

It happens here
all the time.

Nevertheless,
I'm going to need
that bracelet back.

Hold on.
You can't expect me
to leave it with you.

It's my bracelet!

Not until
it's been paid for!
I...

I... No. Please.

No, please.
Mr. Bolger, wait.

What? No.

Uh... No.
Please, Mr. Bolger!
(GASPS)

Oh.

Mr. Bolger,
please wait!

(FIRE ALARM
CONTINUES SOUNDING)
(CROWD MURMURING)

Ted! I am so sorry.
Laura.

What... What happened
to you downstairs?

Um, nothing.

I... I didn't even
make it to the table,

and both of you
were gone.
Teddy, what's going on?

Um, I...it, uh,
it's a fire alarm,
I think.

Um, we should...
we should get downstairs.

Mmm.

Uh, excuse me.
Excuse me.
Pardon me. (PANTING)

Kate?

Oh.

(PANTING)
Maggie. Maggie, wait.

Chris, can we just forget
this ever happened?

I can't do that.
Why not?

Because you are,
without a doubt,

the most reckless,
pigheaded, craziest
person I've ever met.

I'm sorry.
Don't apologize.

I, uh, I kinda like it.

(SIGHS)

(THUDDING)

(MAN GRUNTS)
