Are you trying to get us into a lawsuit?

If you get a break in your

Good Samaritan routine, Joe,

you might try and get the ship back to the airport.

[Joe chuckles]

Ah, it's a real piece

She's upset because you came to help her?

[chuckles] Yeah, you hit!that’on the head)

Let's take a look at that car of yours.

It's bleeding

It sure is. You got a cracked oil pan here.

We'll tow this back to the airport, and have it fixed up for you

Great!

Don't worry about it, if we can't get to it by tonight,

Whoa, whose bike?

-What, you like bikes?

Well, hop up on the back and pretend you're riding.

Allright.

Why don't you climb up front and pretend like you're driving?

It's perfectly safe.

I'll tell you what I'll hold on real tight, okay?

l want you up front.

[pilot]! know what you're thinking, Dad)

since I was six years old.

Conrad Bennett's first law,

[TV playing, indistinct]

and we're running out of time.

He says if we can't show the investors

One way or the other, we gotta get the Hawk into the air.

Mr. Forrester! Glad Joe brought you back.

My behavior this afternoon

Please forgive me.

You're a real piece of work, no question.

That's right.

You miss that camaraderie, don't you?

l miss the trust we had in each other.

[sighs]

We have to get some sleep.

Thank you for the fish.

Scotty, it's time to go to bed.

Good night, Scotty.

suppose you're gonna start

elling me when my bedtime is now.

It's late:

I'm not tired.

Stop hovering over me, okay? I'll be all right.

I'll be in ina while.

If that crack about trust

was meant for me, it's misp

I trust you.

You said yourself

hat Dad's design is flawless.

There's only one way to a new airplane and that's one step at a time.

I've always handled the timetable before

and now, alll of a sudden, you want to speed it up.

Why?

I'm only doing what Dad wants.

Oh, Jess.

If there was the slightest chance

what kind of a hurry you're in, he'd tell you the same thing.

And unlike you, he has confidence in my judgment.

Another month.

But until then, she’s mine.

You're having a problem with me, aren't you?

I'm not just the boss's daughter.

What are you talking about?

Joe) whatever Wwe are to each) other.)

until this company gets on its feet...

I'm the boss.

Accept that?

May l' go now, boss?

[door opening, closing]

[crickets chirping]

Hey, partner.

] thought you were gonna hit the sack.

Aren't we going for a ride?

Did you ask your dad?

why don't you see if it fits?

[engine starting]

How did you find this place?

l come here when'! got a problem to work out,

helps put things in perspective.

Amazing, isn't it?

Water in the middle of the desert.

in the rocks upstream.

I bet you know about everything:

Cars, horses...

...planes, boats.

You must have been talking to Jessica.

Yeah, I've raced a few cars and

but horses I just ride.

Knew it!

Did you ever have any kids, Joe?

No, ! missed! out on that one.

Too bad.

Yeah, he's nice.

He's just kind of unusual, that's all.

l hadn't seen him in a long time.

Now it's like, uh...

he's trying to make up for everything.

It'll work out.

We better get in.

[Scott] Hey.

-Do I have to wear this thing?

-Don't you ever get on a bike without it.

A busted arm you can fix, but you bust your head and you could--

and you could wind up like poor old Conrad Bennett.

What happened to him anyway?

He pushed himself too hard

and popped a gasket.

Had a stroke last January.

Jessie's been running

Why does she talk to him like he's still in charge?

Because he's her dad.

And to her, he's still the boss.

And! now’she' needs him! more than ever,

You couldn't sleep either, huh?

But don't worry. Joe talks like a daredevil,

[chuckles] Believe me. ! know him better than you do.

Your’son will be fine.

Your dress is...

Does it bother you?

Bother me?

Should it?

Well, it's just that some men...

an old airplane or something. [laughs]

You must be a wonderful photographer.

Probably.

Were they prettier than me?

Well, the last one was a motorcycle.

[dirt bike approaching]

You're much prettier.

Joe?

Wait!

Scott?

Look, it was only a bike ride, okay? I'm sorry.

Good! night.

Good night, Scott.

This is amazing.

Not another plane under 100,000

The tail's in the front.

That's why she won't stall on you.

See, Conrad's idea to design a plane

that was idiotproof.

This little wing up front

is what keeps you out of trouble.

-Can ! sit in the cockpit?

-Sure, go ahead. Climb on in.

l feel like a pilot.

[both chuckling]

There she is. What do you think?

Is this hazy bright or open shade?

[laughs]

You got a great sense of humor.

In fact, ! was thinking of hiring a

photographer to get some publicity shots.

Are you sure you can't stay?

We have to keep moving.

Your son sure seems to like Joe.

If you're jealous, join the club.

He affects everybody that way.

Jealous?

He can fly a plane better than anybody.

And women fall alllover him

like your son's

falling under his spell too.

Jealous?

Is this where you guys have been hiding?

Hang on, Scotty.

Jess, can / talk to you for a minute?

If this is Betsowal

-Strictly business. -Okay.

Our car's’ all fixed!

We can go now.

Oh, Can't We stay around with Joe for a couple of days?

I'm sure nobody'd find us here.

Why do you wanna hang around here?

Joe's a neat guy.

You! know, he’s a pilot and everything.

-This is the man though, right?

-Yeah, I think that's him.

Okay, Benny.

Now, you tell me what you told the policeman.

Maybe I shouldn't have said anything.

Benny.

Benny, you just telll me what you remember.

Well) Sir.

There must have been some oillon the road

That's right.

You don't even know where the damn thing is, do you?

Well, this is the canard, mister.

Right where Conrad Bennett wanted it.

[engine sputtering]

Come on, kitten, let's not act up.

[Joe] What are you doing?

Tell her to add power and land it hot.

[Jessica] Joe?

Add power, Jessie.

Push the throttle all the way to the wall.

Jessie, do you read me? Add power.

[Jessica] Joe, are you sure?

[Joe] Do as ! say,

But we didn't.

What are you talking about?

but somehow he can read his thoughts.

What's gotten into you, Joe?

! got myself into trouble up there, and you got me out of it.

It was your father and Paul Forrester.

What's the meaning of this?

Why was he brought here?

To save you and your plane.

He's right.

He does understand, doesn't he?

He hears you, and he understands.

I thought I'd lost him.

Now you've given him back to me.

(e)

Believe him.

The only thing a test pilot

would get jealous of is a hotter airplane.

Hey, are youl boys in trouble with the law?

Better take a look.

I could have your attention

for a moment. I'm looking for this man.

Has anyone seen him around here at all?

All right; simmer down, everybody.

Simmer down,

-Are you Jessica Bennett?

and! understand! you have ai photographer

named Paul Forrester working here?

Sorry, I've never him before.

What about you?

Well, ! don't recognize him.

Rodeo?
