1
00:00:36,537 --> 00:00:40,451
Chances are you've never heard
of Preston Thomas Tucker,
2
00:00:40,541 --> 00:00:43,750
dreamer, inventor, visionary.
3
00:00:43,835 --> 00:00:45,325
A man ahead of his time.
4
00:00:51,218 --> 00:00:52,333
Pretty, isn't it?
5
00:00:52,427 --> 00:00:54,714
Mr. Tucker's car has everything:
6
00:00:54,805 --> 00:00:57,593
pop-out safety windows, rear motor.
7
00:00:57,683 --> 00:00:59,674
Oh, but I'm getting ahead of my story.
8
00:01:00,978 --> 00:01:04,596
The first time he ever saw an automobile,
he was just a young boy.
9
00:01:05,315 --> 00:01:06,805
In his excitement, he found himself
10
00:01:06,900 --> 00:01:09,983
with the wheels
of that automobile passing over his feet.
11
00:01:10,612 --> 00:01:11,943
But he muddy road was soft.
12
00:01:12,030 --> 00:01:13,270
He wasn't hurt.
13
00:01:13,365 --> 00:01:15,572
And that was the first view of the machine
14
00:01:15,659 --> 00:01:19,323
that was to mold his thoughts and actions
for most of the years of his life.
15
00:01:20,956 --> 00:01:24,369
Determined to learn how cars were made,
he went to Detroit,
16
00:01:24,459 --> 00:01:28,043
Where he met Vera Quaff,
who worked for the telephone company.
17
00:01:28,130 --> 00:01:31,088
They were married,
and, wasting no time, began a family.
18
00:01:32,301 --> 00:01:34,212
But he never lost sight of his dream,
19
00:01:34,303 --> 00:01:36,465
which was to design and manufacture
20
00:01:36,555 --> 00:01:38,796
the finest automobile ever made.
21
00:01:40,017 --> 00:01:43,430
He spent every minute he could
at the Indianapolis Speedway
22
00:01:43,520 --> 00:01:45,978
and teamed up
with the automobile legend Harry Miller,
23
00:01:46,064 --> 00:01:48,931
one of the greatest designers
of racing cars who ever lived.
24
00:01:52,821 --> 00:01:55,904
In 1936, Mr. Tucker saw the war clouds
25
00:01:55,991 --> 00:01:57,607
looming on the horizon
26
00:01:57,701 --> 00:02:00,568
and began working
on a high-speed combat car.
27
00:02:01,455 --> 00:02:03,822
It was bulletproof, had air conditioning,
28
00:02:03,915 --> 00:02:06,247
and mounted a power-operated gun turret.
29
00:02:07,210 --> 00:02:09,793
The combat car was turned down
by the military.
30
00:02:10,339 --> 00:02:11,955
It had one drawback, they said.
31
00:02:12,049 --> 00:02:13,790
It was too fast.
32
00:02:14,259 --> 00:02:16,626
The War Department's policy
at that time was
33
00:02:16,720 --> 00:02:20,679
no combat car should go
over 35 miles an hour.
34
00:02:24,478 --> 00:02:25,934
His gun turret, however,
35
00:02:26,021 --> 00:02:28,183
was immediately put into service.
36
00:02:28,565 --> 00:02:31,182
Who can say how many brave Americans boys
37
00:02:31,276 --> 00:02:33,187
owe their lives to the Tucker turrets?
38
00:02:33,612 --> 00:02:35,398
And where were those turrets built?
39
00:02:35,614 --> 00:02:38,402
In the most practical place
Tucker could think of,
40
00:02:38,492 --> 00:02:40,733
in the barn next to his home in Michigan
41
00:02:40,827 --> 00:02:42,738
where he and his family lived.
42
00:02:59,805 --> 00:03:00,920
Oh, my God.
43
00:03:07,354 --> 00:03:09,311
Hold that tiger
44
00:03:09,940 --> 00:03:11,601
Hold that tiger
45
00:03:12,234 --> 00:03:13,816
Hold that tiger
46
00:03:14,319 --> 00:03:15,935
Hold that tiger
47
00:03:16,405 --> 00:03:17,611
Hold that tiger
48
00:03:18,073 --> 00:03:19,404
Come on out, girl.
49
00:03:20,617 --> 00:03:21,482
What's this?
50
00:03:22,452 --> 00:03:23,942
Did you put this in my car?
51
00:03:24,037 --> 00:03:25,072
No.
52
00:03:25,163 --> 00:03:26,779
Did you? What is this thing?
53
00:03:26,873 --> 00:03:27,783
Open it.
54
00:03:28,542 --> 00:03:29,703
What is it?
55
00:03:31,461 --> 00:03:33,372
My friends, you are in for one floozie.
56
00:03:33,463 --> 00:03:34,578
What can I call this?
57
00:03:35,924 --> 00:03:37,164
This is history in the making.
58
00:03:37,259 --> 00:03:40,752
Is there anything
you want to explain first about the dogs?
59
00:03:41,054 --> 00:03:41,919
Oh.
60
00:03:43,056 --> 00:03:45,047
Well, I traded the old Packard for them.
61
00:03:45,600 --> 00:03:46,590
Oh.
62
00:03:47,477 --> 00:03:48,763
One dozen trained dogs.
63
00:03:48,854 --> 00:03:51,516
What are we going to do
with a dozen trained dogs?
64
00:03:51,606 --> 00:03:52,846
What difference does it make?
65
00:03:52,941 --> 00:03:55,023
You can't walk away
from a trade like that.
66
00:03:55,110 --> 00:03:57,693
Are you dying to know what's in here?
Huh? No?
67
00:03:57,779 --> 00:03:59,190
-Yes.
-Yes.
68
00:03:59,281 --> 00:04:01,067
-All right. You're dying, huh?
-Yes.
69
00:04:01,366 --> 00:04:03,277
Gallup took a poll last week to find out
70
00:04:03,368 --> 00:04:04,824
what Americans want most
when the war's over.
71
00:04:04,911 --> 00:04:07,403
Eighty-seven percent of the people
in this country said
72
00:04:07,497 --> 00:04:09,408
the first thing they want is a new car.
73
00:04:09,833 --> 00:04:12,074
Now, which would the public rather buy?
74
00:04:12,169 --> 00:04:15,537
The same old models Detroit
has been giving us before the war or...
75
00:04:18,884 --> 00:04:20,500
the car of tomorrow...
76
00:04:22,053 --> 00:04:22,918
today.
77
00:04:26,433 --> 00:04:27,798
Looks like it's going 90 mph
standing still.
78
00:04:27,893 --> 00:04:29,349
And you know who's going to build
these cars?
79
00:04:29,644 --> 00:04:30,475
We are.
80
00:04:30,562 --> 00:04:32,724
In five years, we're gonna put
the Big Three out of business.
81
00:04:32,814 --> 00:04:34,771
Who we gonna sell them to? Buck Rogers?
82
00:04:36,693 --> 00:04:40,027
Under the hood, we've got luggage.
83
00:04:41,072 --> 00:04:43,234
The engine is in the rear
where it ought to be.
84
00:04:43,450 --> 00:04:45,817
Look at this.
Individual torque converters.
85
00:04:45,911 --> 00:04:47,151
-And that--
-You're crazy!
86
00:04:47,245 --> 00:04:49,782
You'd have to have a wheel track
70 inches wide.
87
00:04:50,832 --> 00:04:51,867
Dinner's ready!
88
00:04:51,958 --> 00:04:53,198
All right. Come on, let's go!
89
00:04:53,293 --> 00:04:54,124
How many?
90
00:04:55,295 --> 00:04:56,205
Everybody.
91
00:04:56,296 --> 00:04:58,458
How about the US Army?
You boys hungry?
92
00:04:58,548 --> 00:05:00,289
Orville, call your mother. You stay too.
93
00:05:00,926 --> 00:05:02,792
Oh, Millie! Millie!
94
00:05:03,345 --> 00:05:05,837
And our best dog food, huh?
95
00:05:08,892 --> 00:05:10,633
Hold that tiger
96
00:05:11,102 --> 00:05:12,638
Hold that tiger
97
00:05:13,021 --> 00:05:16,355
Hold that tiger
98
00:05:17,275 --> 00:05:18,265
How much you going to tell him?
99
00:05:18,360 --> 00:05:19,976
-I'll tell him everything.
-Watch out. Coming through.
100
00:05:20,070 --> 00:05:22,152
-Got dirty dishes. They'll fall on you.
-It's all here.
101
00:05:23,031 --> 00:05:23,941
Don't trip!
102
00:05:24,449 --> 00:05:26,656
The fenders... lights.
103
00:05:26,743 --> 00:05:28,154
Who's this guy Karatz?
104
00:05:28,245 --> 00:05:29,155
He's a business man.
105
00:05:29,246 --> 00:05:31,283
-Karatz, huh?
-I met him on the commuter train.
106
00:05:32,332 --> 00:05:33,197
Finance.
107
00:05:33,291 --> 00:05:34,156
Finance?
108
00:05:34,668 --> 00:05:35,703
Come here, Junior.
109
00:05:38,672 --> 00:05:41,334
-Who's that?
-The man I've been talking about.
110
00:05:42,008 --> 00:05:42,998
Abe Karatz.
111
00:05:44,386 --> 00:05:45,797
Good luck, honey.
112
00:05:45,887 --> 00:05:46,968
We'll be in the den.
113
00:05:51,726 --> 00:05:52,887
Look at him.
114
00:05:53,520 --> 00:05:55,181
Yeah. He's scary.
115
00:05:55,272 --> 00:05:57,684
He's not scary. He's from New York.
116
00:05:58,358 --> 00:05:59,268
Abe.
117
00:06:00,402 --> 00:06:01,892
I appreciate you stopping by.
118
00:06:01,987 --> 00:06:03,193
How long between trains?
119
00:06:03,280 --> 00:06:05,442
You like this?
Living here in the middle of nowhere?
120
00:06:06,324 --> 00:06:08,986
You want a cup of coffee at 2:00,
3:00 in the morning, you'd die first.
121
00:06:09,661 --> 00:06:11,527
Yeah, or you go in the kitchen
and you make one.
122
00:06:11,621 --> 00:06:13,362
Who wants coffee at 2:00 in the morning?
123
00:06:13,456 --> 00:06:16,198
You sit there, you read the paper,
you chew the fat with the waitress.
124
00:06:17,252 --> 00:06:19,243
Here you look around,
there's nothing but scenery.
125
00:06:20,046 --> 00:06:22,663
We're stuck with the scenery.
How do you like your coffee?
126
00:06:23,133 --> 00:06:24,248
In the city.
127
00:06:28,763 --> 00:06:30,299
Double fives again,
128
00:06:30,724 --> 00:06:31,839
and he does it.
129
00:06:32,893 --> 00:06:33,883
Cars?
130
00:06:36,146 --> 00:06:38,262
You brought me here for cars?
131
00:06:41,484 --> 00:06:43,145
Does that look like a car to you?
132
00:06:44,529 --> 00:06:47,487
That is a gold mine I'm handing you
on a silver platter.
133
00:06:48,033 --> 00:06:48,898
Forget it.
134
00:06:50,243 --> 00:06:51,153
You got no chance.
135
00:06:53,079 --> 00:06:55,616
How can you say that?
You haven't even heard my ideas yet.
136
00:06:55,707 --> 00:06:56,822
Ideas?
137
00:06:57,042 --> 00:06:58,828
Einstein's in the idea business.
138
00:06:59,502 --> 00:07:01,994
He makes up numbers so high
only a dog can hear them.
139
00:07:02,088 --> 00:07:03,294
But what's it cost him?
140
00:07:03,381 --> 00:07:05,122
A piece of paper, a couple of pencils.
141
00:07:05,800 --> 00:07:08,212
To manufacture a car,
you need millions of dollars.
142
00:07:08,303 --> 00:07:11,386
Well, that is what Wall Street is for,
143
00:07:11,723 --> 00:07:13,760
to float stock issues, Abe.
144
00:07:14,434 --> 00:07:15,549
Who are you?
145
00:07:15,977 --> 00:07:17,559
What do you know about business?
146
00:07:17,646 --> 00:07:19,228
Any experience on Wall Street?
147
00:07:19,856 --> 00:07:23,440
It's so revolutionary. This is how cars
are going to be made from now on.
148
00:07:23,818 --> 00:07:25,900
Abe, and with your connections--
149
00:07:25,987 --> 00:07:27,318
I don't have connections.
150
00:07:27,989 --> 00:07:29,445
I have connections who have connections.
151
00:07:29,532 --> 00:07:32,274
Speaking for them, myself,
and who do you believe, God?
152
00:07:32,494 --> 00:07:34,701
Him, too... forget about it.
153
00:07:35,330 --> 00:07:36,820
You got no chance.
154
00:08:10,949 --> 00:08:12,110
Well, think about it.
155
00:08:13,827 --> 00:08:14,658
Drive safely.
156
00:08:14,995 --> 00:08:15,826
Yes, sir.
157
00:08:40,478 --> 00:08:41,513
Preston?
158
00:08:44,482 --> 00:08:45,438
Preston?
159
00:08:58,580 --> 00:08:59,490
Pile in, cutie.
160
00:08:59,581 --> 00:09:01,242
Who wants ice cream? Let's go to Doc's!
161
00:09:01,332 --> 00:09:02,163
Everybody!
162
00:09:04,002 --> 00:09:05,538
-Man your positions.
-Watch out, Junior.
163
00:09:05,628 --> 00:09:07,335
Let's see if we can
break our record time.
164
00:09:07,422 --> 00:09:09,413
Come on! Hurry up! Get up there!
165
00:09:09,507 --> 00:09:10,338
I've got my position.
166
00:09:21,519 --> 00:09:23,726
It was pathetic how he loved the idea.
167
00:09:25,231 --> 00:09:28,895
Embarrassing to see a man like that
trying so hard to play on my harp strings.
168
00:09:29,527 --> 00:09:30,858
Anything to get in on the deal!
169
00:09:32,155 --> 00:09:33,771
I'm going to make him sweat a while first.
170
00:09:36,242 --> 00:09:37,858
Watch this baby accelerate!
171
00:09:38,578 --> 00:09:39,409
-Whoa!
-Whoa!
172
00:09:39,621 --> 00:09:42,329
Hold that tiger
173
00:09:42,415 --> 00:09:43,826
Sounds like Tucker again.
174
00:09:43,917 --> 00:09:45,658
Yep! That's him. Let's go!
175
00:09:46,002 --> 00:09:47,367
Hold that tiger
176
00:09:48,004 --> 00:09:49,085
Hold that tiger
177
00:09:49,506 --> 00:09:50,712
Hold that tiger
178
00:09:52,550 --> 00:09:54,040
Where's that tiger
179
00:09:54,427 --> 00:09:55,792
Where's that tiger
180
00:09:56,054 --> 00:09:57,670
Here's that tiger
181
00:09:57,764 --> 00:09:59,129
Where's that tiger
182
00:09:59,224 --> 00:10:00,510
Here's that tiger
183
00:10:00,934 --> 00:10:02,424
Where's that tiger
184
00:10:02,894 --> 00:10:04,055
Here's that tiger
185
00:10:13,113 --> 00:10:14,478
Who wants ice cream?
186
00:10:16,866 --> 00:10:18,356
How you doing, Doc?
187
00:10:18,451 --> 00:10:20,658
I'm okay, if you don't include everything.
188
00:10:21,246 --> 00:10:22,907
How about sodas all around?
189
00:10:22,997 --> 00:10:24,203
Triple scoops tonight.
190
00:10:24,290 --> 00:10:25,496
Triple scoops.
191
00:10:26,334 --> 00:10:28,792
You can have chocolate,
pistachio, strawberry.
192
00:10:28,878 --> 00:10:31,336
-You can mix them all up, okay?
-Strawberry soda.
193
00:10:31,422 --> 00:10:34,790
Hey, Tucker,
ain't those prefab houses something?
194
00:10:34,884 --> 00:10:37,501
Anybody seen one of these houses?
How do you know they're any good?
195
00:10:38,179 --> 00:10:39,544
They're not even built yet.
196
00:10:40,098 --> 00:10:42,465
So what? It says so in the magazine.
197
00:10:42,559 --> 00:10:43,640
Johnny, stop.
198
00:10:43,726 --> 00:10:45,137
Yuck! He spilled it.
199
00:10:45,603 --> 00:10:47,685
Noble, stop eating my sundae.
200
00:10:47,772 --> 00:10:48,887
Stop it, Johnny.
201
00:10:49,524 --> 00:10:51,686
Hey, does anybody want strawberry?
202
00:10:51,776 --> 00:10:53,266
Hold that tiger
203
00:10:53,695 --> 00:10:55,185
Hold that tiger
204
00:10:55,280 --> 00:10:56,736
Working with a writer he knew,
205
00:10:56,823 --> 00:11:00,316
Tucker got an article about the car
published in Pic magazine.
206
00:11:00,785 --> 00:11:02,742
But nobody, not even Tucker,
207
00:11:02,829 --> 00:11:04,536
was prepared for what happened.
208
00:11:05,123 --> 00:11:05,954
Within a week,
209
00:11:06,040 --> 00:11:09,874
more than 150,000 letters poured in
from all over the country.
210
00:11:10,253 --> 00:11:12,460
"How can I see a Tucker?"
"I want a Tucker."
211
00:11:12,839 --> 00:11:14,421
"Where can I buy a Tucker?"
212
00:11:14,507 --> 00:11:15,997
"How can I get a dealership?"
213
00:11:16,301 --> 00:11:19,089
Overnight,
the nation had gone Tucker crazy.
214
00:11:21,347 --> 00:11:24,214
Just because this Tucker
can build a car in his barn
215
00:11:24,309 --> 00:11:26,175
doesn't mean he can mass produce it.
216
00:11:28,646 --> 00:11:29,727
So...
217
00:11:31,441 --> 00:11:33,102
what do we need to make this work?
218
00:11:35,528 --> 00:11:36,643
Well, we need a car.
219
00:11:36,738 --> 00:11:37,853
A car we got.
220
00:11:38,323 --> 00:11:39,609
A working prototype?
221
00:11:40,658 --> 00:11:42,148
Says so in the magazine.
222
00:11:42,827 --> 00:11:46,491
We also will have to have
some big Detroit names
223
00:11:46,581 --> 00:11:48,492
for the board, you know,
for the prospectus.
224
00:11:48,583 --> 00:11:49,698
Like who can we get?
225
00:11:50,668 --> 00:11:54,036
Well, there was a fellow,
vice president at Ford for many years,
226
00:11:54,130 --> 00:11:55,416
Robert Bennington.
227
00:11:55,506 --> 00:11:57,918
He's the president at Plymouth
at the moment,
228
00:11:58,009 --> 00:11:59,795
but I hear he's being kicked upstairs.
229
00:12:00,261 --> 00:12:01,547
Maybe we can get him.
230
00:12:01,638 --> 00:12:04,471
As window dressing...
Will he want a say in running the company?
231
00:12:04,557 --> 00:12:07,345
Want a say?
Bennington? He'll run the company.
232
00:12:08,228 --> 00:12:09,889
I'm not sure Tucker is gonna go for that.
233
00:12:11,189 --> 00:12:12,850
People don't buy stock.
234
00:12:12,941 --> 00:12:15,683
They buy people they can trust
or believe they can.
235
00:12:15,777 --> 00:12:17,313
Now, if this what's-his-name--
236
00:12:17,403 --> 00:12:18,518
-Tucker.
-Tucker.
237
00:12:18,613 --> 00:12:21,230
If he's going to be a pain in the ass
about it, we might just as well forget it.
238
00:12:21,324 --> 00:12:23,361
Don't worry about Tucker. He's a good man.
239
00:12:24,494 --> 00:12:25,825
What else do we need?
240
00:12:26,621 --> 00:12:28,828
We need a factory?
241
00:12:28,915 --> 00:12:31,703
The car we got.
You get Bennington, whatever it takes.
242
00:12:32,627 --> 00:12:33,958
I'll get the factory.
243
00:12:36,714 --> 00:12:37,579
Thank you.
244
00:12:39,759 --> 00:12:42,000
Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.
245
00:12:42,387 --> 00:12:45,425
-Norfolk, Virginia.
-Norfolk, Virginia.
246
00:12:45,807 --> 00:12:48,970
-Omaha, Nebraska.
-Omaha, Nebraska.
247
00:12:49,060 --> 00:12:50,175
Wow.
248
00:12:51,145 --> 00:12:53,432
Look, here's one from Anchorage, Alaska.
249
00:12:53,523 --> 00:12:55,810
Oh! That's the first one from there.
250
00:12:56,609 --> 00:12:58,566
Abe should have been here an hour ago.
251
00:12:59,028 --> 00:13:01,565
You know the trains now, darling.
They're always late.
252
00:13:11,249 --> 00:13:12,364
Who's that?
253
00:13:18,881 --> 00:13:21,248
I was wondering, sir, if I can
have just a few moments of your time?
254
00:13:21,342 --> 00:13:22,423
I'm waiting for somebody.
255
00:13:22,510 --> 00:13:24,672
-Just five minutes, sir.
-Bye, Daddy!
256
00:13:25,305 --> 00:13:26,136
What for?
257
00:13:26,514 --> 00:13:28,004
I'd like to sell you something, sir.
258
00:13:28,099 --> 00:13:28,964
What?
259
00:13:30,768 --> 00:13:31,974
Me.
260
00:13:34,397 --> 00:13:35,432
All right. Five minutes.
261
00:13:35,523 --> 00:13:37,935
Thank you. I'm Alex Tremulis, sir.
262
00:13:38,609 --> 00:13:42,102
Sir, I'll be getting out of the Air Force
in just a few weeks.
263
00:13:42,196 --> 00:13:44,813
Before that,
I was studying automotive engineering.
264
00:13:45,658 --> 00:13:47,990
And when I saw that article about your
car in that magazine, sir,
265
00:13:48,077 --> 00:13:49,317
it's been driving me crazy ever since.
266
00:13:49,412 --> 00:13:52,370
So I made a few 3-D perspective drawings.
267
00:13:53,082 --> 00:13:54,789
If you wouldn't mind, sir,
taking a look at them.
268
00:13:57,337 --> 00:14:00,329
What you did, sir, with the streamlining
I think was fantastic.
269
00:14:01,007 --> 00:14:03,123
But if we took that one step further,
270
00:14:03,217 --> 00:14:05,549
if we could apply real aerodynamics,
271
00:14:05,636 --> 00:14:07,673
let's say, like a rocket ship
to a family car--
272
00:14:07,764 --> 00:14:08,970
You changed my doors.
273
00:14:09,557 --> 00:14:12,891
Yes, sir, because you only have
31 inches headroom.
274
00:14:12,977 --> 00:14:15,560
A family car for an average-size person
needs 36.
275
00:14:16,481 --> 00:14:18,813
But every time you open the door,
they hit the curb.
276
00:14:19,609 --> 00:14:22,601
So I made them open up, cut into the roof,
like an airplane here.
277
00:14:22,695 --> 00:14:23,981
Time's up, kid.
278
00:14:24,572 --> 00:14:25,812
Just two, two more minutes, sir.
279
00:14:25,907 --> 00:14:27,397
-What do you want, a job?
-Yes.
280
00:14:27,492 --> 00:14:28,527
You got it.
281
00:14:28,826 --> 00:14:29,987
In the design department?
282
00:14:30,661 --> 00:14:32,493
Kid, you are the design department.
283
00:14:35,166 --> 00:14:36,531
Abe! Did you find it?
284
00:14:39,629 --> 00:14:40,744
Tucker.
285
00:14:41,672 --> 00:14:43,162
Do I have a lot to tell you.
286
00:14:43,508 --> 00:14:44,794
It was a good meeting.
287
00:14:46,302 --> 00:14:47,667
-Jimmy!
-Hello.
288
00:14:49,597 --> 00:14:50,632
Jimmy Sakiyama.
289
00:14:51,182 --> 00:14:52,593
Abe Karatz, my partner.
290
00:14:52,683 --> 00:14:54,139
Hi. Nice to meet you.
291
00:14:55,269 --> 00:14:56,134
How do you do?
292
00:14:57,647 --> 00:15:00,059
Jimmy, if you see Eddie,
tell him we'll be in the dining room.
293
00:15:00,149 --> 00:15:01,184
You bet.
294
00:15:02,276 --> 00:15:05,018
Hey, didn't they put the Japs
in camp some place?
295
00:15:06,072 --> 00:15:07,562
-He's not a Jap.
-Really?
296
00:15:07,949 --> 00:15:08,780
He's an engineer.
297
00:15:08,866 --> 00:15:09,856
He's still a Jap.
298
00:15:11,035 --> 00:15:13,151
Abe, Jimmy and me,
we've been together for 15 years.
299
00:15:13,246 --> 00:15:14,987
I got him in my custody
to work on the turrets.
300
00:15:15,081 --> 00:15:17,743
But his mother, his father,
his 12-year-old sister,
301
00:15:17,834 --> 00:15:20,326
they're in a swell relocation camp
in Colorado,
302
00:15:21,254 --> 00:15:22,870
if that makes you feel better.
303
00:15:29,762 --> 00:15:30,752
Meshugana.
304
00:15:31,931 --> 00:15:33,217
Hi there, Mr. Karatz.
305
00:15:33,307 --> 00:15:34,172
How are you?
306
00:15:35,768 --> 00:15:38,760
Which leaves three war surplus plants
we got a shot at.
307
00:15:38,855 --> 00:15:41,392
Now, it's a long shot because everybody
in the country is trying to get them,
308
00:15:41,482 --> 00:15:42,643
but it's worth a try.
309
00:15:44,318 --> 00:15:45,649
One of them is perfect.
310
00:15:45,736 --> 00:15:47,101
Nice, little.
311
00:15:48,322 --> 00:15:50,188
The other is too big.
312
00:15:50,283 --> 00:15:52,320
Costs twice as much to retool, but...
313
00:15:53,494 --> 00:15:55,076
we could swing it if we had to.
314
00:15:56,497 --> 00:15:57,703
What's the third?
315
00:15:58,875 --> 00:16:00,036
Impossible.
316
00:16:00,918 --> 00:16:03,785
The Dodge plant
where they made the B-29s in Chicago.
317
00:16:06,174 --> 00:16:07,289
What's wrong with that?
318
00:16:09,635 --> 00:16:13,299
For one thing,
it covers 475 acres with 16 buildings.
319
00:16:14,390 --> 00:16:16,757
One of them is 73 acres long.
320
00:16:17,310 --> 00:16:18,550
One building.
321
00:16:18,895 --> 00:16:21,011
It's the biggest building in the world
under one roof.
322
00:16:21,230 --> 00:16:22,516
It's perfect.
323
00:16:33,117 --> 00:16:35,484
You'll love it in Chicago.
324
00:16:35,870 --> 00:16:37,861
Listen, they've got a department store,
325
00:16:37,955 --> 00:16:40,162
one of the biggest in the world.
326
00:16:40,249 --> 00:16:42,536
Oh, everybody shops there.
327
00:16:42,627 --> 00:16:44,709
Wait until you see it. You'll love it.
328
00:16:45,087 --> 00:16:46,077
Fantastic!
329
00:16:46,672 --> 00:16:47,537
Oh!
330
00:16:48,758 --> 00:16:52,672
I can build everything I ever dreamed of
in this plant, Abe,
331
00:16:53,012 --> 00:16:57,757
sports cars, family cars,
convertibles, trucks, even airplanes!
332
00:16:57,850 --> 00:17:00,968
Now, all we gotta do is talk
the government into giving it to us.
333
00:17:01,771 --> 00:17:03,227
Abe, what did they say?
Did you reach them?
334
00:17:03,314 --> 00:17:04,804
Yep. We finally got our meeting
335
00:17:04,899 --> 00:17:07,015
with the War Assets Administration
in Washington.
336
00:17:07,109 --> 00:17:09,316
-When?
-Monday. Three o'clock.
337
00:17:10,154 --> 00:17:11,690
-Oh, that's no good.
-What?
338
00:17:12,281 --> 00:17:13,942
It's got to be lunch some place.
339
00:17:14,450 --> 00:17:16,908
Do you realize the trouble I went through
just to get this meeting?
340
00:17:16,994 --> 00:17:18,655
-Do you--
-With roast beef.
341
00:17:19,956 --> 00:17:21,822
Rare. Very rare.
342
00:17:23,626 --> 00:17:25,537
Every 25 seconds
343
00:17:26,504 --> 00:17:28,871
somebody is killed or crippled
344
00:17:29,382 --> 00:17:30,838
in an automobile accident.
345
00:17:30,925 --> 00:17:34,259
-Now 60% of all nighttime accidents...
-Excuse me.
346
00:17:34,345 --> 00:17:35,710
...happen on the curb
347
00:17:36,138 --> 00:17:38,596
because there is a two-second blind spot
348
00:17:38,683 --> 00:17:40,594
between the time you turn the wheel
349
00:17:40,685 --> 00:17:43,427
and the time your headlights
get to where you're going.
350
00:17:43,521 --> 00:17:45,512
Now, in a Tucker, when you turn the wheel,
351
00:17:45,606 --> 00:17:48,223
you also turn the fenders
and the headlights.
352
00:17:48,317 --> 00:17:50,979
You see where you're going
before you get there.
353
00:17:52,321 --> 00:17:55,689
This woman was thrown through
the windshield of her car.
354
00:17:57,243 --> 00:18:00,406
Tucker Windshields pop out.
355
00:18:00,496 --> 00:18:03,989
And to make sure nobody's face gets cut,
356
00:18:04,083 --> 00:18:05,824
we have shatterproof glass.
357
00:18:06,210 --> 00:18:08,668
We also have seat belts.
358
00:18:08,921 --> 00:18:10,161
NOW, Why?
359
00:18:11,173 --> 00:18:12,504
Tell me why, gentlemen,
360
00:18:13,092 --> 00:18:16,084
has the Big Three in Detroit
been allowed to make billions of dollars
361
00:18:16,178 --> 00:18:19,136
without spending one dime on safety?
362
00:18:19,932 --> 00:18:21,514
What I know, what you know,
363
00:18:21,601 --> 00:18:22,966
what the public knows...
364
00:18:23,978 --> 00:18:26,060
is that they don't give a damn
about people.
365
00:18:26,731 --> 00:18:28,893
All they care about is profits.
366
00:18:31,319 --> 00:18:32,480
Let me tell you something,
367
00:18:32,570 --> 00:18:34,311
and I mean this
from the bottom of my heart,
368
00:18:34,864 --> 00:18:38,823
the entire automobile industry of America
is guilty of criminal negligence.
369
00:18:39,285 --> 00:18:42,323
And if it were up to me, they'd be tried
and convicted of manslaughter.
370
00:18:46,751 --> 00:18:49,368
Thank you, gentlemen.
Thank you for the time you've given me.
371
00:18:49,462 --> 00:18:50,668
I appreciate it.
372
00:18:59,263 --> 00:19:00,799
Congratulations.
373
00:19:01,223 --> 00:19:04,181
They hate you like poison, and so do I.
374
00:19:04,268 --> 00:19:07,306
How did I ever let you
talk me into such a crazy--
375
00:19:07,396 --> 00:19:10,514
I'm Oscar Beasley,
special assistant to the administrator.
376
00:19:10,608 --> 00:19:13,316
Could you be in my office
at three o'clock tomorrow afternoon?
377
00:19:14,362 --> 00:19:16,444
Well... sure.
378
00:19:16,530 --> 00:19:18,066
Good. See you there.
379
00:19:18,157 --> 00:19:19,192
Mr. Beasley.
380
00:19:20,660 --> 00:19:22,492
See how much you know. They loved it.
381
00:19:23,913 --> 00:19:25,403
Would they want to see us again
if they didn't?
382
00:19:25,498 --> 00:19:28,365
You're talking logic. This is Washington.
A Punch and Judy show.
383
00:19:28,459 --> 00:19:30,496
-Why would he want to see us again?
-Politics!
384
00:19:31,253 --> 00:19:33,369
We're being set up for something,
believe me.
385
00:19:34,382 --> 00:19:35,918
We got no chance.
386
00:19:43,182 --> 00:19:46,300
How could we kid ourselves
into thinking anyone would give us a loan?
387
00:19:46,394 --> 00:19:49,728
All we've got are debts and more debts.
All of them, so far, past due.
388
00:19:50,106 --> 00:19:52,894
How does he do it, the genius you married?
389
00:19:53,234 --> 00:19:56,067
No matter how much he makes,
he always manages to spend twice as much.
390
00:19:56,153 --> 00:19:56,984
Yeah.
391
00:20:03,703 --> 00:20:04,659
Hello?
392
00:20:04,745 --> 00:20:06,452
Where the hell were you?
I was about to hang up.
393
00:20:06,539 --> 00:20:07,654
How did it go?
394
00:20:07,748 --> 00:20:09,830
Sweetheart, I had them
eating out of my hand.
395
00:20:10,543 --> 00:20:12,875
By the time I left,
I could've asked for California
396
00:20:12,962 --> 00:20:14,293
and gotten Arkansas to boot.
397
00:20:14,380 --> 00:20:16,747
Oh, darling, I'm so sorry.
398
00:20:16,841 --> 00:20:18,047
It's not dead yet.
399
00:20:18,592 --> 00:20:20,424
Completely. Got another meeting tomorrow.
400
00:20:20,511 --> 00:20:21,876
What does Abe think?
401
00:20:21,971 --> 00:20:23,006
What does he know?
402
00:20:23,472 --> 00:20:24,962
Hey, did you get the loan?
403
00:20:25,057 --> 00:20:26,388
They're gonna think it over.
404
00:20:27,351 --> 00:20:29,137
You're a worse liar than I am.
405
00:20:30,771 --> 00:20:33,138
Can you please come home soon, Preston?
406
00:20:33,983 --> 00:20:35,018
Please?
407
00:20:35,401 --> 00:20:36,516
I Will, doll.
408
00:20:38,904 --> 00:20:39,769
I love you.
409
00:20:39,864 --> 00:20:40,854
I love you, too.
410
00:20:41,157 --> 00:20:42,773
-I'll see you soon, sweetheart.
-All right.
411
00:20:43,367 --> 00:20:44,232
Bye.
412
00:21:08,934 --> 00:21:10,174
Mr. Tucker,
413
00:21:10,853 --> 00:21:14,471
in brief, the committee has voted
to give you the plant in Chicago,
414
00:21:16,066 --> 00:21:20,606
provided that you have certified assets
of no less than $15 million.
415
00:21:21,238 --> 00:21:23,855
And to qualify
as a legal manufacturing company,
416
00:21:24,158 --> 00:21:27,025
you'll be required
to produce at least 50 cars
417
00:21:27,119 --> 00:21:28,905
one year after taking possession.
418
00:21:30,122 --> 00:21:31,453
Is that satisfactory?
419
00:21:33,292 --> 00:21:34,657
Well I...
420
00:21:35,377 --> 00:21:36,993
Sure, I mean...
421
00:21:37,713 --> 00:21:38,623
Fine.
422
00:21:38,714 --> 00:21:41,581
Papers will be ready for signature
five o'clock tomorrow afternoon.
423
00:21:44,220 --> 00:21:45,335
Thank you.
424
00:21:46,096 --> 00:21:49,430
Abe, why don't we let Mr. Beasley
get back to work?
425
00:22:03,239 --> 00:22:04,479
Klondike 436.
426
00:22:04,573 --> 00:22:05,859
Go ahead. I'll hold on.
427
00:22:05,950 --> 00:22:07,281
This is her husband, Preston Tucker.
428
00:22:07,368 --> 00:22:10,201
Hey, Tucker.
United Auto Workers told Roosevelt
429
00:22:10,287 --> 00:22:11,994
if he wants the labor vote next election,
430
00:22:12,081 --> 00:22:15,164
he's got to give the plant
to a car company and only a car company.
431
00:22:15,251 --> 00:22:18,039
Why me? Why not Ford, General Motors,
one of the Big Three?
432
00:22:18,128 --> 00:22:19,493
They don't want it. It's too big.
433
00:22:19,588 --> 00:22:20,874
How can nobody want a plant like that?
434
00:22:20,965 --> 00:22:22,455
Everybody wants it, but believe it or not,
435
00:22:22,550 --> 00:22:25,338
you're the only lunatic in the country
dumb enough to want to make cars in it.
436
00:22:26,262 --> 00:22:27,297
-Doll?
-Yeah.
437
00:22:27,388 --> 00:22:28,344
Yeah, he's right here.
438
00:22:28,430 --> 00:22:31,138
Hold that tiger
439
00:22:31,225 --> 00:22:33,637
What is it? What?
440
00:22:34,270 --> 00:22:35,601
-Hey!
-Preston.
441
00:22:35,688 --> 00:22:36,598
Hold on, babe.
442
00:22:36,689 --> 00:22:39,431
How soon can you get the car to New York?
Monday, Tuesday, when?
443
00:22:39,525 --> 00:22:40,390
Babe, hold on.
444
00:22:40,484 --> 00:22:42,475
I got the best press agent
in the business on the phone.
445
00:22:42,570 --> 00:22:43,810
To kick off the sale of the stock,
446
00:22:43,904 --> 00:22:46,646
he wants to unveil a car on the street
outside the Stock Exchange
447
00:22:46,740 --> 00:22:48,481
with a hundred-piece band, the Rockettes,
448
00:22:48,576 --> 00:22:50,692
enough razzmatazz
to make every investor in the country
449
00:22:50,786 --> 00:22:52,868
get down on his knees
and beg to buy those shares.
450
00:22:53,455 --> 00:22:54,661
Love, you hear that?
451
00:22:54,748 --> 00:22:56,739
-You bet I did!
-We got it!
452
00:22:57,376 --> 00:23:00,038
The biggest damn plant in the whole world
and we're the ones who got it!
453
00:23:00,129 --> 00:23:01,665
Oh, that's wonderful!
454
00:23:01,755 --> 00:23:04,247
All we need now is $15 million and a car.
455
00:23:04,341 --> 00:23:06,332
-That's all, huh?
-That's it.
456
00:23:08,178 --> 00:23:09,509
-You love me?
-I love ya!
457
00:23:09,597 --> 00:23:11,304
I love you too.
I'll see you soon, sweetie.
458
00:23:11,390 --> 00:23:12,255
All right.
459
00:23:14,184 --> 00:23:15,390
We need a car?
460
00:23:15,477 --> 00:23:17,184
Let's go out some place to celebrate.
Have a drink.
461
00:23:17,271 --> 00:23:18,511
Do we have a car or don't we?
462
00:23:19,732 --> 00:23:22,394
Well, no, it's not a matter of...
463
00:23:22,484 --> 00:23:24,100
Frank, I'll call you back.
464
00:23:26,196 --> 00:23:27,482
You all right, Abe?
465
00:23:27,907 --> 00:23:28,942
Huh?
466
00:23:30,868 --> 00:23:32,700
Anything else you want to tell me?
467
00:23:34,246 --> 00:23:37,034
Well, I don't have a dime
to build it with...
468
00:23:38,751 --> 00:23:40,287
You all right? Huh?
469
00:23:41,086 --> 00:23:42,042
Oh!
470
00:23:42,129 --> 00:23:44,621
Fifty thousand dollars for one car?
471
00:23:44,715 --> 00:23:47,503
It's a prototype.
Hand-built, don't forget.
472
00:23:49,637 --> 00:23:52,254
How much you need to get started?
Forget the $50,000.
473
00:23:53,265 --> 00:23:54,130
To get started?
474
00:23:54,934 --> 00:23:56,265
At least ten.
475
00:23:57,811 --> 00:23:58,892
I'll give you six.
476
00:23:59,647 --> 00:24:00,603
If it turns out you're right,
477
00:24:00,689 --> 00:24:04,398
we could sell a few dealerships now,
which frankly sounds crazy to me.
478
00:24:04,485 --> 00:24:07,978
Why would anybody in his right mind
pay money for a car
479
00:24:08,072 --> 00:24:09,983
that isn't even in existence yet?
480
00:24:14,411 --> 00:24:15,742
I'm sitting here
481
00:24:16,372 --> 00:24:19,410
writing a check in my own handwriting
calling them crazy?
482
00:24:25,756 --> 00:24:26,871
One thing.
483
00:24:28,050 --> 00:24:31,042
We need it absolutely in 60 days.
484
00:24:32,429 --> 00:24:34,545
Absolutely. Any problem?
485
00:24:35,140 --> 00:24:36,380
Problems?
486
00:24:36,684 --> 00:24:37,549
It's impossible.
487
00:24:37,643 --> 00:24:38,929
Sixty days?
488
00:24:39,019 --> 00:24:39,929
Or never.
489
00:24:40,020 --> 00:24:40,976
Why?
490
00:24:41,063 --> 00:24:43,555
Because we haven't sold enough stock
to buy a dead herring.
491
00:24:43,857 --> 00:24:45,939
But the letters, all the excitement
when the article came out.
492
00:24:46,026 --> 00:24:48,688
Tucker, there's people who buy cars
and there's people who buy stock.
493
00:24:48,779 --> 00:24:51,237
And right now, no major investor
will even consider us.
494
00:24:51,323 --> 00:24:52,563
Yeah, but why 60 days'?
495
00:24:52,658 --> 00:24:55,241
-I mean, why not--
-Because in 60 days, June 1,
496
00:24:55,327 --> 00:24:56,863
we take possession of the plant.
497
00:24:57,162 --> 00:24:59,779
And on that day, and not until that day,
498
00:25:00,207 --> 00:25:01,618
will the mystery car,
499
00:25:02,209 --> 00:25:04,325
the car of the century, be unveiled.
500
00:25:05,254 --> 00:25:07,291
-Uncle Abe?
-Yeah.
501
00:25:07,506 --> 00:25:10,874
I was wondering why you always do that
with your nose all the time.
502
00:25:10,968 --> 00:25:12,550
-Noble.
-What with my nose?
503
00:25:12,761 --> 00:25:14,126
Move it up and down like a rabbit.
504
00:25:14,221 --> 00:25:16,804
-Okay, everybody upstairs.
-I do that?
505
00:25:16,890 --> 00:25:17,755
Oh, murder.
506
00:25:17,850 --> 00:25:19,306
Students to the grindstone.
507
00:25:19,393 --> 00:25:20,428
Noble.
508
00:25:21,729 --> 00:25:22,594
Bye.
509
00:25:22,688 --> 00:25:23,598
Goodbye.
510
00:25:25,441 --> 00:25:26,476
Tell me, do I do that?
511
00:25:26,567 --> 00:25:28,808
-You don't do that with your nose.
-All right.
512
00:25:35,117 --> 00:25:37,609
Mr. Tucker, sir, it takes Ford nine months
513
00:25:37,703 --> 00:25:40,161
to go from model to prototype.
Nine months.
514
00:25:40,247 --> 00:25:42,739
Call every pitman we know in Indy.
515
00:25:42,833 --> 00:25:44,824
I can get Carrigan, Milton, maybe Tully.
516
00:25:45,461 --> 00:25:47,372
-All right. Have them here by tomorrow.
-All right.
517
00:25:47,588 --> 00:25:50,546
We gotta get moving right away. Buy clay.
We gotta get started on that model.
518
00:25:50,632 --> 00:25:53,465
What about steel?
We got enough left over from the turrets?
519
00:25:53,552 --> 00:25:54,462
Just about.
520
00:25:54,553 --> 00:25:56,920
There are 24 hours in every day.
521
00:25:57,681 --> 00:25:59,297
Now, is there anybody in this room
522
00:25:59,391 --> 00:26:02,179
who can look me in the eye
and tell me we can't do it?
523
00:26:02,853 --> 00:26:04,309
We can't do it!
524
00:26:05,147 --> 00:26:06,603
Except you.
525
00:26:08,484 --> 00:26:09,940
Better get with it.
526
00:26:10,486 --> 00:26:12,648
-We can't do it!
-We can't do it!
527
00:26:14,740 --> 00:26:16,356
Dad, I've... thought...
528
00:26:16,450 --> 00:26:17,531
Mr. Tucker?
529
00:26:18,285 --> 00:26:20,242
-Excuse me, son.
-...about college.
530
00:26:31,131 --> 00:26:34,920
Dad, I've been trying to talk to you
about something that's been on my mind,
531
00:26:35,010 --> 00:26:37,047
and each time I try and bring it up...
532
00:26:37,596 --> 00:26:38,461
Look.
533
00:26:39,389 --> 00:26:40,254
What's this?
534
00:26:40,349 --> 00:26:42,340
It's the answer from Notre Dame.
535
00:26:43,185 --> 00:26:44,596
I got accepted.
536
00:26:45,979 --> 00:26:47,890
-But look--
-Hey! Congratulations!
537
00:26:47,981 --> 00:26:49,437
I don't want to go!
538
00:26:50,025 --> 00:26:53,984
Look, I want to learn
everything about cars from you.
539
00:26:54,571 --> 00:26:57,233
I don't want to become President of
the United States or something.
540
00:26:57,324 --> 00:26:59,736
-That's not what I want to do.
-Who wants you to become president?
541
00:26:59,827 --> 00:27:00,783
I thought you did.
542
00:27:00,869 --> 00:27:01,904
As far as I'm concerned,
543
00:27:01,995 --> 00:27:05,158
the two crummiest things a person can be
is a lawyer or a politician.
544
00:27:05,249 --> 00:27:08,116
Why the hell would I want you to be
President of the United States?
545
00:27:08,210 --> 00:27:09,541
Most of them are both.
546
00:27:10,462 --> 00:27:11,793
So it's okay.
547
00:27:12,714 --> 00:27:15,172
Sure. You can stay with me.
548
00:27:16,051 --> 00:27:17,667
I'm going to depend on you.
549
00:27:20,347 --> 00:27:22,634
They just won't sell us any clay.
That's it.
550
00:27:23,142 --> 00:27:25,850
Can't build a model without it and can't
build a prototype without the model.
551
00:27:25,936 --> 00:27:28,473
Take it easy, kid.
Life's full of surprises.
552
00:27:30,399 --> 00:27:31,355
Doug!
553
00:27:32,526 --> 00:27:33,607
Chris!
554
00:27:35,863 --> 00:27:38,855
Want you fellas to meet Alex.
He's head of the design department.
555
00:27:39,074 --> 00:27:41,406
These fellas are the best damn
bodyknockers in the business.
556
00:27:41,493 --> 00:27:43,530
They can go from your sketch
straight to metal.
557
00:27:43,620 --> 00:27:44,826
-Isn't that right, boys?
-Yes, sure.
558
00:27:44,913 --> 00:27:46,278
How's this for a frame?
559
00:27:46,790 --> 00:27:48,531
It's okay for a start.
560
00:27:49,293 --> 00:27:50,704
Face this right now, Pres.
561
00:27:50,794 --> 00:27:52,330
You got problems with this engine.
562
00:27:53,630 --> 00:27:57,123
Our own engine? I should talk you out
of building one from scratch.
563
00:27:57,217 --> 00:28:00,084
Can't talk him out of falling off a cliff
once he's made his mind up.
564
00:28:00,470 --> 00:28:02,552
The rear engine is the heart
of the whole car.
565
00:28:02,639 --> 00:28:04,346
Just work the damn thing out.
566
00:28:05,309 --> 00:28:06,799
Come on, you can do it, Eddie.
567
00:28:08,604 --> 00:28:09,969
"You can do it, Eddie."
568
00:28:10,522 --> 00:28:12,809
But I'm offering you
the opportunity of a lifetime,
569
00:28:13,150 --> 00:28:14,640
a new car dealership.
570
00:28:14,985 --> 00:28:17,477
The most revolutionary car
in automotive history.
571
00:28:17,571 --> 00:28:18,982
-It's called the Tucker.
-Excuse me, sir?
572
00:28:19,072 --> 00:28:20,062
I'll be right with you.
573
00:28:20,157 --> 00:28:22,398
It's got all kinds of safety features,
574
00:28:22,492 --> 00:28:24,403
torque converters on every wheel...
575
00:28:24,494 --> 00:28:26,610
Double torque converters won't work.
576
00:28:27,164 --> 00:28:28,370
We need a transmission.
577
00:28:29,333 --> 00:28:30,368
Why the hell won't they?
578
00:28:30,459 --> 00:28:33,247
If I had more time,
but we don't have time to work it out.
579
00:28:33,337 --> 00:28:35,749
You remember the Cord 810 transaxle?
580
00:28:35,839 --> 00:28:38,001
That's the only transmission
I can think of.
581
00:28:38,800 --> 00:28:40,507
Yeah, if you could find one.
582
00:28:41,678 --> 00:28:43,043
What choice do I have?
583
00:28:43,597 --> 00:28:44,587
But only for now.
584
00:28:44,681 --> 00:28:46,342
The minute we finish that show in Chicago,
585
00:28:46,433 --> 00:28:48,265
we're gonna start
building the car we advertised.
586
00:28:48,352 --> 00:28:49,558
Now you're talking.
587
00:28:51,813 --> 00:28:53,599
$7,500.
588
00:28:53,941 --> 00:28:56,478
I never thought I'd live to see the day.
589
00:29:01,949 --> 00:29:02,780
Hey!
590
00:29:02,866 --> 00:29:05,949
I didn't make the fenders move with
the wheels like you wanted to, sir.
591
00:29:10,499 --> 00:29:11,739
Why the hell not?
592
00:29:13,502 --> 00:29:16,620
Remember Frank Lockhard,
when he was driving the Stutz?
593
00:29:16,713 --> 00:29:19,626
At high speeds they acted like rudders.
He got killed in the crash.
594
00:29:19,716 --> 00:29:21,332
It was very dangerous, sir.
595
00:29:21,593 --> 00:29:24,506
What I did was, I made the light in
the middle turn with the wheels instead
596
00:29:24,596 --> 00:29:26,587
which does what you want
and it works fine.
597
00:29:26,682 --> 00:29:27,797
And it's safe.
598
00:29:29,726 --> 00:29:32,184
You ever do that again,
something I told you not to,
599
00:29:32,271 --> 00:29:33,477
so help me...
600
00:29:35,482 --> 00:29:36,847
I'll give you a raise.
601
00:29:38,402 --> 00:29:39,392
Hey!
602
00:29:40,904 --> 00:29:42,190
No reverse!
603
00:29:43,073 --> 00:29:44,108
Can we fix it?
604
00:29:44,616 --> 00:29:45,856
Not by Monday.
605
00:29:46,285 --> 00:29:49,277
You'll get it.
Come on, Junior, give me a hand here.
606
00:29:50,122 --> 00:29:51,408
All right, We'll get it.
607
00:29:54,293 --> 00:29:55,283
Push!
608
00:30:00,799 --> 00:30:02,790
Abe, I still don't like this idea.
609
00:30:03,135 --> 00:30:04,751
We've got to do it, Tucker.
610
00:30:04,845 --> 00:30:07,052
We need someone from Detroit
with experience
611
00:30:07,139 --> 00:30:08,504
or we won't sell any stock.
612
00:30:08,598 --> 00:30:10,760
As long as he doesn't try
to run the company.
613
00:30:13,145 --> 00:30:14,476
Mr. Tucker.
614
00:30:15,355 --> 00:30:19,314
I've always admired innovative men
who are willing to take risks.
615
00:30:19,401 --> 00:30:23,360
You know, I myself introduced
nylon seat covers in our new line.
616
00:30:25,699 --> 00:30:28,157
So, when do I get to see the car?
617
00:30:29,161 --> 00:30:30,526
Soon, Mr. Bennington.
618
00:30:30,620 --> 00:30:32,361
Well, I hope it'll be soon.
619
00:30:32,456 --> 00:30:34,993
The car has to be shown
in less than a week, doesn't it?
620
00:30:52,726 --> 00:30:56,936
The piston load during compression
is three times the normal family car.
621
00:30:57,272 --> 00:31:00,890
It needs a 24-volt battery to start it,
which don't exist.
622
00:31:00,984 --> 00:31:03,225
How many volts in those? Six, right?
623
00:31:03,320 --> 00:31:05,277
-Yeah.
-What about truck batteries? They're 12.
624
00:31:05,364 --> 00:31:07,731
Use two truck batteries. That's 24.
625
00:31:09,284 --> 00:31:10,319
Vera?
626
00:31:10,410 --> 00:31:12,868
What do you think of these pictures
in these brochures that they brought?
627
00:31:13,163 --> 00:31:15,120
I want to talk to you about that.
628
00:31:16,249 --> 00:31:18,286
That board of directors
they stuck me with...
629
00:31:19,336 --> 00:31:23,921
I don't know if Bennington's an undertaker
or one of the stiffs he embalmed.
630
00:31:24,132 --> 00:31:25,418
Preston.
631
00:31:26,134 --> 00:31:28,671
How many years of testing? Fifteen?
632
00:31:29,346 --> 00:31:32,008
I've been thinking about that car
a lot longer than 15 years.
633
00:31:32,099 --> 00:31:34,181
Thinking about it is not exactly testing.
634
00:31:34,393 --> 00:31:36,976
It's advertising.
You're not supposed to believe it.
635
00:31:38,271 --> 00:31:41,309
I mean, if you're selling candy,
what do you advertise? It rots your teeth?
636
00:31:49,825 --> 00:31:50,986
You caught me, didn't you?
637
00:31:51,993 --> 00:31:55,327
Don't you give me that crooked
little smile you stole from Clark Gable.
638
00:31:56,498 --> 00:31:58,614
What? I didn't steal that
from Clark Gable!
639
00:31:58,708 --> 00:32:02,918
I saw you many times practicing
when you thought I wasn't looking.
640
00:32:04,172 --> 00:32:07,130
Oh, now, this smile here. See?
641
00:32:07,759 --> 00:32:09,295
This is my downfall.
642
00:32:09,970 --> 00:32:13,554
The real you. The canary who ate the cat.
643
00:32:20,105 --> 00:32:21,971
That smile made you do that?
644
00:32:22,607 --> 00:32:23,938
Every time.
645
00:32:27,446 --> 00:32:29,813
You know what this smile
makes me want to do?
646
00:32:30,449 --> 00:32:31,814
Just punch you.
647
00:32:37,164 --> 00:32:38,780
Let's stick with the canary.
648
00:32:53,305 --> 00:32:55,512
Mr. Bennington, members of the board,
649
00:32:55,599 --> 00:32:57,306
we have one major problem.
650
00:32:58,393 --> 00:32:59,599
Yes, Mr. Tucker?
651
00:33:00,270 --> 00:33:02,853
Just what sort of problem is that?
652
00:33:04,316 --> 00:33:05,431
Well...
653
00:33:06,610 --> 00:33:09,102
they're putting the squeeze on-- Detroit.
654
00:33:09,488 --> 00:33:11,650
We can't buy clay, Mr. Bennington.
We can't buy steel.
655
00:33:11,740 --> 00:33:13,651
We can't buy anything.
Not enough to build a kiddie-car with.
656
00:33:13,742 --> 00:33:15,107
That doesn't surprise me.
657
00:33:15,202 --> 00:33:18,320
So, what I've done is, I've made
an appointment with Senator Ferguson.
658
00:33:18,705 --> 00:33:20,821
We'll straighten this thing out
eyeball to eyeball.
659
00:33:20,916 --> 00:33:22,498
-Wait.
-No, you wait, Abe.
660
00:33:22,584 --> 00:33:24,825
When you spot trouble,
you've gotta nip it in the bud.
661
00:33:25,086 --> 00:33:27,578
What are you thinking?
A big smile and a pat on the back
662
00:33:27,672 --> 00:33:30,004
is gonna make him forget
he's a senator from Detroit?
663
00:33:30,091 --> 00:33:31,957
We're making cars in Chicago.
664
00:33:33,970 --> 00:33:35,802
He's my senator, too, don't forget.
665
00:33:46,066 --> 00:33:47,648
The senator will see you now.
666
00:33:48,568 --> 00:33:49,808
Very good.
667
00:33:54,199 --> 00:33:56,156
-This way?
-Yes, sir. Right through that door.
668
00:33:58,578 --> 00:33:59,409
Senator.
669
00:34:01,373 --> 00:34:02,579
Preston Tucker.
670
00:34:03,625 --> 00:34:04,865
Mr. Tucker.
671
00:34:05,585 --> 00:34:06,996
A.H. Karatz.
672
00:34:07,462 --> 00:34:09,703
K-A-R-A-T-Z, huh? Huh?
673
00:34:10,799 --> 00:34:12,415
Sit down, gentlemen. Sit down.
674
00:34:14,177 --> 00:34:15,508
Let's get right to the point.
675
00:34:15,762 --> 00:34:18,424
You're one of the most powerful men
in Washington, I know that.
676
00:34:18,515 --> 00:34:19,425
Oh.
677
00:34:19,808 --> 00:34:23,767
I also know that your main job is
to make sure that the Big Three--
678
00:34:23,853 --> 00:34:25,014
Limo's here, Senator.
679
00:34:26,273 --> 00:34:29,061
Well, I'm sorry, gentlemen.
It was just getting interesting.
680
00:34:29,150 --> 00:34:33,189
But my plans changed on me
since we made this appointment,
681
00:34:33,530 --> 00:34:35,737
as they always do every two seconds.
682
00:34:35,824 --> 00:34:38,316
So I'm not going to be able to-- Alice?
683
00:34:38,660 --> 00:34:40,116
Did you take care of...
684
00:34:40,203 --> 00:34:42,069
-First thing in the morning, sir.
-Good.
685
00:34:42,747 --> 00:34:45,114
Huh? Walk me to the car?
686
00:34:49,671 --> 00:34:50,536
Good day.
687
00:34:50,630 --> 00:34:53,588
Senator, don't forget the four
o'clock meeting with Congressman Miller.
688
00:34:53,675 --> 00:34:54,585
I got it.
689
00:34:54,676 --> 00:34:55,586
Senator?
690
00:34:55,677 --> 00:34:58,135
Just put everything in the sheet.
Bring it to the plane.
691
00:35:01,641 --> 00:35:04,178
You... you like Jack Benny?
692
00:35:04,269 --> 00:35:05,225
Senator!
693
00:35:05,520 --> 00:35:06,510
Yeah, he's my favorite.
694
00:35:06,605 --> 00:35:07,515
-Tickets.
-Very funny.
695
00:35:07,981 --> 00:35:09,267
Oh, thank you.
696
00:35:09,357 --> 00:35:13,351
"Problems are just opportunities
in work clothes."
697
00:35:13,445 --> 00:35:16,153
That's a quote
from my friend Henry J. Kaiser.
698
00:35:17,991 --> 00:35:20,073
-Karatz.
-Afternoon, Senator.
699
00:35:20,535 --> 00:35:22,242
Oh, you get that thing we talked about?
700
00:35:22,329 --> 00:35:23,660
I got a phone call.
701
00:35:23,747 --> 00:35:26,580
Call Tim. Tell him I told you, huh?
702
00:35:27,626 --> 00:35:31,745
When you were in Washington,
did you meet Harry Macdonald, head of SEC?
703
00:35:31,838 --> 00:35:32,669
No, not yet.
704
00:35:32,756 --> 00:35:34,542
Local boy, good man, loyal.
705
00:35:35,508 --> 00:35:37,920
So, who's your favorite comedian,
Mr. Tucker?
706
00:35:38,011 --> 00:35:40,048
So this is the way you keep that figure.
707
00:35:40,138 --> 00:35:41,799
That's one way, Senator.
708
00:35:46,478 --> 00:35:47,718
It's quite an idea of yours,
709
00:35:47,812 --> 00:35:50,474
selling dealerships for cars
that don't exist.
710
00:35:55,612 --> 00:35:56,852
You remember that song?
711
00:35:56,946 --> 00:35:58,482
Music goes round and round
712
00:35:58,573 --> 00:36:00,314
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
713
00:36:00,408 --> 00:36:02,274
And it comes out here
714
00:36:05,288 --> 00:36:08,406
The Big Three should be indicted
for manslaughter, huh?
715
00:36:10,293 --> 00:36:11,454
Funny line.
716
00:36:19,844 --> 00:36:21,300
What was that all about?
717
00:36:22,472 --> 00:36:24,338
Did he say anything? What did he say?
718
00:36:25,892 --> 00:36:28,304
He said stay out of the car business,
719
00:36:28,812 --> 00:36:30,428
or he'll cut your nuggies off.
720
00:36:35,527 --> 00:36:37,268
All right. Now what?
721
00:36:37,362 --> 00:36:39,273
I can't give you a fuel injection.
722
00:36:39,364 --> 00:36:40,775
No fuel injection?
723
00:36:41,116 --> 00:36:44,700
You want the car on time,
the only hope we got is twin carburetors.
724
00:36:50,041 --> 00:36:51,247
Goddamn it!
725
00:36:53,420 --> 00:36:54,910
Where is my car?
726
00:36:58,633 --> 00:37:00,169
What's left of it, anything?
727
00:37:10,854 --> 00:37:12,094
Hi, Abe.
728
00:37:12,188 --> 00:37:14,725
-Vera, how are you?
-Great. Come on in.
729
00:37:15,233 --> 00:37:16,394
Uncle Abe! Uncle Abe!
730
00:37:16,484 --> 00:37:17,519
Wha--
731
00:37:17,610 --> 00:37:18,941
Whoa, whoa, whoa.
732
00:37:19,028 --> 00:37:20,109
My goodness.
733
00:37:20,697 --> 00:37:22,563
Whoa, look what I have for you.
734
00:37:22,657 --> 00:37:24,523
It's from Chicago.
735
00:37:24,617 --> 00:37:25,652
-For me?
-Yeah.
736
00:37:26,202 --> 00:37:27,533
I hope you like it.
737
00:37:31,708 --> 00:37:34,120
Oh, I love it, Uncle Abe. I love it.
738
00:37:34,210 --> 00:37:37,669
Is it all right? I mean,
what do I know about ladies' dresses?
739
00:37:37,756 --> 00:37:39,246
-Can I try it on?
-Of course.
740
00:37:42,510 --> 00:37:44,626
Well, Well, Well. Oh!
741
00:37:45,054 --> 00:37:46,715
-Oh!
-You got me.
742
00:37:47,640 --> 00:37:49,506
I got a present for you, Noble.
743
00:37:49,851 --> 00:37:51,467
Something for you.
744
00:38:00,028 --> 00:38:01,439
Well, tell me gently.
745
00:38:02,322 --> 00:38:03,437
Do we have a car?
746
00:38:05,450 --> 00:38:07,817
Well... we've got something.
747
00:38:09,370 --> 00:38:12,032
Does it look like the car in the ads,
at least?
748
00:38:14,125 --> 00:38:15,365
Looks like it.
749
00:38:16,503 --> 00:38:19,837
So why are you worried? Why you worried?
All they have to do is see it.
750
00:38:20,882 --> 00:38:22,418
Made you a martini, Abe.
751
00:38:22,509 --> 00:38:23,590
A drink. Come.
752
00:38:31,267 --> 00:38:32,428
To the car.
753
00:38:32,852 --> 00:38:34,809
-To the car.
-To the car.
754
00:38:41,945 --> 00:38:43,527
Don't you just love it?
755
00:38:44,113 --> 00:38:45,899
-Thank you, Uncle Abe.
-You're welcome.
756
00:38:45,990 --> 00:38:48,402
Thank you. Don't you just love it?
757
00:38:48,827 --> 00:38:50,613
It's beautiful, sweetie.
758
00:38:51,162 --> 00:38:53,529
Dad! Where's Dad?
759
00:38:54,040 --> 00:38:54,950
Dad.
760
00:38:55,250 --> 00:38:58,709
Oh, hi, Abe. You better get out there.
Oil's leaking from the rear main seal.
761
00:38:58,795 --> 00:39:01,503
We just blew a head gasket.
The whole thing's falling apart.
762
00:39:02,799 --> 00:39:05,006
All right!
What's going on? I leave for one minute...
763
00:39:05,093 --> 00:39:06,049
Where's Eddie?
764
00:39:07,095 --> 00:39:08,130
Eddie!
765
00:39:09,472 --> 00:39:10,553
What is it?
766
00:39:10,640 --> 00:39:12,506
It's just what we expected.
767
00:39:15,311 --> 00:39:17,177
-What the hell?
-What the hell was that?
768
00:39:18,565 --> 00:39:19,930
Are you okay?
769
00:39:20,400 --> 00:39:21,936
Are you all right? Huh?
770
00:39:22,026 --> 00:39:22,891
You Okay?
771
00:39:22,986 --> 00:39:23,942
I could've gotten killed.
772
00:39:24,028 --> 00:39:25,359
Totaled the suspension.
773
00:39:25,446 --> 00:39:26,607
You're all right. All right.
774
00:39:26,698 --> 00:39:29,781
With all that weight, I should've...
Where's Dutch? Dutch.
775
00:39:31,035 --> 00:39:33,652
We need four new arms
machined from solid stock.
776
00:39:33,746 --> 00:39:35,532
-Can you do it?
-No sweat.
777
00:39:37,625 --> 00:39:39,741
What the hell is happening to you?
778
00:39:40,086 --> 00:39:43,454
That kid Alex came this close to getting
his brains splattered all over this floor.
779
00:39:43,548 --> 00:39:44,754
You don't even notice.
780
00:39:45,091 --> 00:39:47,173
For what? That pile of junk?
781
00:39:47,260 --> 00:39:49,592
That's all it is... a pile of junk.
782
00:40:03,109 --> 00:40:05,771
Listen to me. Are you listening to me?
Carefully?
783
00:40:06,154 --> 00:40:08,566
Now, we are going to build that car,
the one we dreamed of,
784
00:40:08,656 --> 00:40:10,397
exactly the way we want it.
785
00:40:15,872 --> 00:40:17,237
Do you believe me?
786
00:40:22,211 --> 00:40:23,997
Are you feeling better?
That's what I came down here for.
787
00:40:24,088 --> 00:40:25,749
-To cheer you up.
-I'm fine, I'm fine.
788
00:40:25,840 --> 00:40:26,875
Are you cheerful?
789
00:40:26,966 --> 00:40:28,127
I'm plenty cheerful.
790
00:40:29,093 --> 00:40:30,299
Too cheerful.
791
00:40:34,599 --> 00:40:37,307
You think that's cheerful?
Watching a middle-aged man lose his mind?
792
00:40:37,393 --> 00:40:39,100
You know what's even more cheerful?
793
00:40:39,187 --> 00:40:41,804
Having ringside seats
at your own crucifixion, which...
794
00:40:41,898 --> 00:40:43,309
I might have in Chicago.
795
00:41:03,169 --> 00:41:04,284
How's it going?
796
00:41:05,254 --> 00:41:07,495
This is Frank the press agent.
797
00:41:07,590 --> 00:41:11,003
Abe. He thinks "Frank the press agent"
is one word.
798
00:41:11,302 --> 00:41:12,633
Frank. Please.
799
00:41:14,472 --> 00:41:15,633
These are the security guards?
800
00:41:15,723 --> 00:41:17,305
Two dozen. Three shifts around the clock.
801
00:41:17,392 --> 00:41:19,975
Nobody, absolutely nobody,
gets near this car. You told them that?
802
00:41:20,061 --> 00:41:21,176
I told them.
803
00:41:22,438 --> 00:41:23,724
Oh! Frank.
804
00:41:25,316 --> 00:41:26,647
Naughty, naughty-
805
00:41:27,527 --> 00:41:30,645
-No, no. Down, down. Stan.
-Now, move that.
806
00:41:33,157 --> 00:41:35,273
This is Stan.
He's making a promotional film about you.
807
00:41:35,368 --> 00:41:36,984
-Nice to meet you.
-A pleasure.
808
00:41:37,829 --> 00:41:39,740
It's a puff kind of a promo film.
809
00:41:39,831 --> 00:41:42,448
Sales meetings, dealerships,
that kind of thing.
810
00:41:43,001 --> 00:41:46,710
Tucker, if you have any family albums,
snapshots...
811
00:41:46,796 --> 00:41:47,911
Home movies?
812
00:41:48,464 --> 00:41:49,795
You just shut up.
813
00:41:50,258 --> 00:41:52,374
Snapshots, home movies,
anything like that we could use.
814
00:41:52,468 --> 00:41:53,503
What's the point?
815
00:41:53,594 --> 00:41:54,584
Selling stock.
816
00:41:54,679 --> 00:41:56,215
I'm not selling stock in my family.
817
00:41:56,305 --> 00:41:59,673
We're not just selling cars either.
We're selling you. An image.
818
00:41:59,767 --> 00:42:01,553
-Which includes your family.
-Tucker.
819
00:42:01,644 --> 00:42:04,227
Who do you think got that newsreel thing
of you in the White House?
820
00:42:04,313 --> 00:42:06,020
You think the President woke up
at night yelling,
821
00:42:06,107 --> 00:42:09,691
"Get me Tucker!"? Come on!
You can't buy that kind of publicity.
822
00:42:09,777 --> 00:42:10,812
You did.
823
00:42:11,612 --> 00:42:12,977
Yeah. For money.
824
00:42:13,406 --> 00:42:14,487
Sure.
825
00:42:15,825 --> 00:42:18,988
Nothing you say makes any sense.
How come I always know what you mean?
826
00:42:19,078 --> 00:42:21,285
Because you talk worse than me
the same language.
827
00:42:22,540 --> 00:42:23,621
Mr. Tucker.
828
00:42:23,875 --> 00:42:26,492
I wanna get some shots of you
looking up at the sign.
829
00:42:26,586 --> 00:42:27,542
Dignified,
830
00:42:27,628 --> 00:42:28,914
serious,
831
00:42:29,005 --> 00:42:30,040
confident
832
00:42:30,131 --> 00:42:32,088
a regular captain of industry.
833
00:42:38,097 --> 00:42:41,089
Broadcasting live
from the Tucker auto plant.
834
00:42:41,184 --> 00:42:44,427
The largest parking lot in the world,
completely filled.
835
00:42:44,520 --> 00:42:46,306
People coming here from everywhere.
836
00:42:46,397 --> 00:42:49,264
They're here from Washington, D.C.,
New York.
837
00:42:49,358 --> 00:42:51,395
These people are here with their families,
838
00:42:51,486 --> 00:42:54,319
all looking very excited
about seeing the innovations
839
00:42:54,405 --> 00:42:57,648
they've heard so much about
in the Tucker automobile.
840
00:42:57,742 --> 00:42:59,528
There were 300 people invited,
841
00:42:59,619 --> 00:43:01,906
and over 1,000 have shown up.
842
00:43:14,092 --> 00:43:16,675
Since the age of 13,
when he was office boy
843
00:43:16,761 --> 00:43:18,422
for the Vice President of Cadillac,
844
00:43:18,513 --> 00:43:20,379
Preston Tucker has been identified...
845
00:43:20,473 --> 00:43:21,679
Noble, you sit here.
846
00:43:23,810 --> 00:43:25,266
What did you get me into?
847
00:43:25,353 --> 00:43:27,469
The biggest day in automotive history,
my friend.
848
00:43:27,563 --> 00:43:29,975
What's going on here?
I didn't expect anything like this.
849
00:43:30,066 --> 00:43:32,023
Wait till you see. Wait till you see.
850
00:43:34,153 --> 00:43:35,609
Okay, push it.
851
00:43:37,907 --> 00:43:39,944
How much longer?
We're an hour late already.
852
00:43:40,034 --> 00:43:41,695
The damn wheels are locked.
853
00:43:43,663 --> 00:43:45,279
Come on. Let's try rocking it.
854
00:43:45,581 --> 00:43:46,446
Come on, Jimmy.
855
00:43:47,834 --> 00:43:48,665
Rock it!
856
00:43:49,377 --> 00:43:51,869
All right. Try the other way.
Rock it, now.
857
00:43:53,714 --> 00:43:55,079
Come on. Rock it.
858
00:43:55,842 --> 00:43:57,583
Nah, Junior, you got to go underneath.
859
00:43:57,677 --> 00:43:58,667
Eddie, get that socket.
860
00:43:58,761 --> 00:44:00,001
-Eddie!
-Here.
861
00:44:01,055 --> 00:44:02,921
Having a little trouble back there,
seems like.
862
00:44:03,266 --> 00:44:04,882
Been up all night, poor bastards,
863
00:44:04,976 --> 00:44:07,058
trying to hold that pile of junk together.
864
00:44:08,062 --> 00:44:10,554
-It won't even back up. No kidding.
-No?
865
00:44:10,648 --> 00:44:11,763
No reverse.
866
00:44:12,275 --> 00:44:14,016
Okay, jack it up! Get in.
867
00:44:16,112 --> 00:44:18,149
Say, how would you like to help me out?
868
00:44:18,239 --> 00:44:19,445
Let me know what goes on.
869
00:44:19,532 --> 00:44:24,197
We want the car!
We want the car!
870
00:44:24,287 --> 00:44:25,652
-Let's go!
-Come on!
871
00:44:26,038 --> 00:44:27,153
Abe, what the hell is going on?
872
00:44:27,248 --> 00:44:29,205
I don't know, but the board of directors
is getting impatient.
873
00:44:34,297 --> 00:44:35,537
Senator Ferguson.
874
00:44:37,300 --> 00:44:39,291
Preston, get this thing started now!
875
00:44:39,385 --> 00:44:41,467
Get out there. Do something.
Stall. Anything.
876
00:44:41,554 --> 00:44:43,010
Bennington is going crazy.
877
00:44:43,097 --> 00:44:46,010
Eddie! Signal me when you're ready
from that corner.
878
00:44:46,100 --> 00:44:47,431
-That corner?
-Yeah.
879
00:44:47,852 --> 00:44:49,559
We gotta take out some weight!
880
00:44:58,863 --> 00:45:00,695
Welcome, ladies and gentlemen.
881
00:45:01,157 --> 00:45:02,568
I'm Preston Tucker.
882
00:45:03,034 --> 00:45:04,399
I'm sorry for the delay.
883
00:45:04,493 --> 00:45:07,201
Perhaps this will perk you up.
The Tuckerettes!
884
00:45:07,622 --> 00:45:08,987
What are Tuckerettes?
885
00:45:09,081 --> 00:45:10,116
They're girls.
886
00:45:10,458 --> 00:45:11,414
Girls!
887
00:45:17,423 --> 00:45:20,586
The back tires can't move
with all that weight on the rear wheels.
888
00:45:20,927 --> 00:45:22,008
Junior?
889
00:45:23,679 --> 00:45:25,169
Try this for a brace.
890
00:45:31,562 --> 00:45:33,428
Let's hear it for the Tuckerettes!
891
00:45:35,483 --> 00:45:37,770
Okay, Junior. Tell your dad. Let's go.
892
00:45:37,860 --> 00:45:38,725
We're set!
893
00:45:39,278 --> 00:45:41,235
Aren't they lovely creatures?
894
00:45:41,656 --> 00:45:43,863
Dad!
895
00:45:43,950 --> 00:45:45,907
Back here! Back here!
896
00:45:46,452 --> 00:45:48,238
Dad, we got it. We're set.
897
00:45:49,163 --> 00:45:52,030
And now, ladies and gentlemen,
898
00:45:52,333 --> 00:45:54,950
the history-making moment
you've all been waiting for.
899
00:45:56,504 --> 00:45:58,871
Okay, come on.
Let's push, guys. Come on!
900
00:45:59,465 --> 00:46:01,797
Hold it, Eddie! We got a leak again.
901
00:46:01,884 --> 00:46:04,876
Tell your dad to hold it. We got a leak.
Tell him to hold it.
902
00:46:05,554 --> 00:46:09,297
Dad! Dad! Dad, hold it! Hold it.
Stop. Hold it.
903
00:46:12,353 --> 00:46:15,186
But first, you don't mind
if I introduce my family, do you?
904
00:46:17,525 --> 00:46:18,890
My lovely wife, Vera.
905
00:46:21,904 --> 00:46:23,941
My daughter, Marilyn Lee.
906
00:46:24,532 --> 00:46:25,943
Isn't she lovely?
907
00:46:26,742 --> 00:46:28,608
Junior, get the soldering iron.
908
00:46:29,287 --> 00:46:31,779
My eldest son is backstage.
909
00:46:31,872 --> 00:46:32,987
Asleep in the car?
910
00:46:33,833 --> 00:46:36,825
Ladies and gentlemen,
the car everyone calls the Tucker...
911
00:46:36,919 --> 00:46:38,330
All right, let's go.
912
00:46:38,421 --> 00:46:39,377
But first...
913
00:46:39,922 --> 00:46:41,754
Dad! Dad!
914
00:46:41,841 --> 00:46:42,876
We're set.
915
00:46:42,967 --> 00:46:44,878
Does anybody want to see the car?
916
00:46:48,472 --> 00:46:49,962
Hold it! We got a fire!
917
00:46:51,309 --> 00:46:52,799
Get the fire extinguishers.
918
00:46:55,646 --> 00:46:56,852
But first...
919
00:46:58,399 --> 00:47:01,937
I'd like to show you
the car's many features.
920
00:47:04,488 --> 00:47:06,775
Ladies, the Detroit-mobile.
921
00:47:07,616 --> 00:47:08,731
You're standing on my foot.
922
00:47:08,826 --> 00:47:11,363
You're on my foot. Don't stop the fire!
923
00:47:11,454 --> 00:47:14,663
Because of the revolutionary
Tucker rear engine...
924
00:47:17,168 --> 00:47:18,579
Stop. There's no more fire there.
925
00:47:18,669 --> 00:47:20,831
What took you so long?
Were you playing checkers?
926
00:47:20,921 --> 00:47:23,959
Drive your Tucker to the dumbest mechanic
anywhere in the world,
927
00:47:24,050 --> 00:47:27,793
and he will be able to remove
the whole engine in one piece
928
00:47:27,887 --> 00:47:29,924
and replace it within 20 minutes.
929
00:47:30,014 --> 00:47:33,302
That's out!
Didn't you tell him we're not doing that?
930
00:47:33,768 --> 00:47:34,929
What's he saying that for?
931
00:47:35,019 --> 00:47:36,680
Let's hear it for the Tuckerettes.
932
00:47:38,147 --> 00:47:39,057
Come on!
933
00:47:39,482 --> 00:47:40,347
Boo!
934
00:47:40,441 --> 00:47:43,354
We want the car!
We want the car!
935
00:47:43,444 --> 00:47:44,684
Come on, Tucker.
936
00:47:44,779 --> 00:47:47,271
-We want the car!
-Bring us the car!
937
00:47:56,207 --> 00:47:58,414
...that dreams can come true.
938
00:47:58,501 --> 00:47:59,832
Ladies and gentlemen,
939
00:48:00,795 --> 00:48:03,082
don't let a Tucker pass you by.
940
00:48:06,342 --> 00:48:07,457
Ladies...
941
00:48:42,795 --> 00:48:43,660
Whoa.
942
00:48:43,754 --> 00:48:45,165
That's pretty good.
943
00:48:50,761 --> 00:48:53,298
Get up here. Come on. Sweetie.
944
00:48:54,557 --> 00:48:55,467
Come on!
945
00:49:18,706 --> 00:49:20,663
And now, ladies and gentlemen,
946
00:49:20,749 --> 00:49:22,080
my love,
947
00:49:22,918 --> 00:49:24,249
my inspiration,
948
00:49:24,336 --> 00:49:25,371
my wife...
949
00:49:26,338 --> 00:49:27,419
Vera.
950
00:49:30,634 --> 00:49:31,669
Yeah! Yeah!
951
00:49:41,353 --> 00:49:43,765
I usually don't take a bath till Saturday.
952
00:50:31,946 --> 00:50:34,483
We are pleased to say
this newly christened car
953
00:50:34,573 --> 00:50:36,610
gets over 20 miles per gallon,
954
00:50:36,700 --> 00:50:39,283
is capable of 130 miles per hour,
955
00:50:39,370 --> 00:50:41,782
and hasn't even been opened up yet.
956
00:50:41,872 --> 00:50:44,830
The car features seat belts, a rear motor,
957
00:50:44,917 --> 00:50:47,909
has a safety chamber,
and has a sponge-rubber crash panel.
958
00:50:48,420 --> 00:50:49,410
Buy a Tucker.
959
00:50:49,505 --> 00:50:51,997
Don't let the future pass you by.
960
00:50:55,970 --> 00:50:58,678
This man Tucker is a loose cannon.
961
00:50:58,764 --> 00:51:01,973
He just doesn't understand
how a corporation runs.
962
00:51:02,059 --> 00:51:03,970
He's not much of an engineer either.
963
00:51:04,061 --> 00:51:05,142
Yeah, you're right.
964
00:51:05,646 --> 00:51:08,183
If we don't watch out,
we'll never build those cars in time.
965
00:51:08,274 --> 00:51:11,357
Listen, he needs to get exposure
in the paper.
966
00:51:11,443 --> 00:51:15,186
Why don't we let him go off
on a nice long publicity tour?
967
00:51:15,281 --> 00:51:17,693
-Not a bad idea.
-I like it.
968
00:51:26,542 --> 00:51:27,532
All right.
969
00:51:51,817 --> 00:51:54,855
Preston, I'd like you to meet Mrs. Mellon.
970
00:51:54,945 --> 00:51:56,401
-Preston Tucker.
-Mrs. Mellon.
971
00:52:09,543 --> 00:52:10,954
Mr. Preston Tucker,
972
00:52:11,045 --> 00:52:12,752
the key to our fair city
973
00:52:13,297 --> 00:52:14,537
and this beautiful plaque
974
00:52:14,632 --> 00:52:16,214
to commemorate your achievements.
975
00:52:16,300 --> 00:52:17,415
Thank you.
976
00:52:46,664 --> 00:52:47,950
The Tuckers are here.
977
00:52:53,337 --> 00:52:54,418
Sir.
978
00:52:54,505 --> 00:52:55,495
Wow.
979
00:52:55,589 --> 00:52:56,704
This is it. Chicago.
980
00:52:56,799 --> 00:52:59,382
This has got to be 100 stories high.
981
00:53:01,470 --> 00:53:02,631
This way, ma'am.
982
00:53:06,308 --> 00:53:08,800
Well, how do you like it, huh?
983
00:53:11,063 --> 00:53:13,304
-Holy mackerel!
-I got a real buy on it.
984
00:53:13,691 --> 00:53:15,022
-Hello, Millie!
-Hi! How are you?
985
00:53:15,109 --> 00:53:16,270
How are you, darling?
986
00:53:16,777 --> 00:53:17,892
Hi, Millie.
987
00:53:18,696 --> 00:53:20,482
In here, the kitchen.
988
00:53:20,781 --> 00:53:22,647
You got an elevator goes up and down.
989
00:53:23,701 --> 00:53:26,238
Strap-work ceilings. Beautiful.
990
00:53:28,539 --> 00:53:30,121
That's why I got it so cheap,
991
00:53:30,207 --> 00:53:31,618
from a vaudeville family.
992
00:53:33,335 --> 00:53:35,167
Very wealthy, but...
993
00:53:35,838 --> 00:53:36,794
midgets.
994
00:53:43,262 --> 00:53:45,674
-I want to buy a steel plant.
-Steel?
995
00:53:46,724 --> 00:53:48,010
We need one.
996
00:53:49,059 --> 00:53:53,223
I'll check with Beasley over at War Assets
and see if we can't find another plant.
997
00:53:53,313 --> 00:53:55,224
How you gonna do that? How do you get one?
998
00:53:56,066 --> 00:53:57,727
Well, they go to the highest bidder.
999
00:53:57,818 --> 00:53:58,808
May I?
1000
00:54:01,905 --> 00:54:03,361
That's a hell of a lighter.
1001
00:54:12,332 --> 00:54:14,289
Here are the new specs
from Mr. Bennington.
1002
00:54:14,376 --> 00:54:16,708
Sixty-four inches high
instead of 56.
1003
00:54:16,795 --> 00:54:17,751
And the wheel track--
1004
00:54:17,838 --> 00:54:19,624
Wait a second. Who are you exactly?
1005
00:54:19,715 --> 00:54:21,251
I'm from Engineering upstairs.
1006
00:54:22,885 --> 00:54:24,171
Take a look at what we've done up there.
1007
00:54:24,261 --> 00:54:25,501
Goddamn it!
1008
00:54:25,929 --> 00:54:26,885
Damn it!
1009
00:54:26,972 --> 00:54:28,337
Hey, what's the matter?
1010
00:54:28,974 --> 00:54:30,339
Hey, this is better.
1011
00:54:31,351 --> 00:54:34,389
The engine definitely can't go
in the rear. We can't do it.
1012
00:54:34,772 --> 00:54:36,262
No rear engine?
1013
00:54:37,775 --> 00:54:38,810
No rear engine?
1014
00:54:38,901 --> 00:54:40,357
We can't get it to work.
1015
00:54:40,903 --> 00:54:42,359
No rear engine!
1016
00:54:43,155 --> 00:54:45,738
We represent Mr. Tucker.
This is very important.
1017
00:54:45,824 --> 00:54:49,317
I'm sorry. You can't see him. He went out.
1018
00:54:56,376 --> 00:54:59,869
Next time Bennington goes out, you should
tell him to take his body with him.
1019
00:55:08,639 --> 00:55:10,505
I'm not so sure that we are appropriate--
1020
00:55:10,599 --> 00:55:12,135
Mrs. Tucker.
1021
00:55:12,226 --> 00:55:14,263
Well, well...
1022
00:55:14,603 --> 00:55:16,185
what a nice surprise.
1023
00:55:16,730 --> 00:55:17,845
I'm...
1024
00:55:17,940 --> 00:55:19,931
I'm really delighted to see you.
1025
00:55:20,484 --> 00:55:22,066
But...
1026
00:55:22,152 --> 00:55:25,065
would you be good enough
to give my wife a call?
1027
00:55:25,155 --> 00:55:28,113
Mrs. Bennington has complete charge
of our social visits.
1028
00:55:28,200 --> 00:55:30,612
There's nothing social about this visit.
1029
00:55:31,245 --> 00:55:33,987
Sit down, gentlemen.
We can skip the minuet.
1030
00:55:39,253 --> 00:55:40,584
What is this?
1031
00:55:42,172 --> 00:55:45,881
And this? And this?
And this is ridiculous.
1032
00:55:48,637 --> 00:55:50,969
I admire this very much
1033
00:55:51,056 --> 00:55:52,888
when the little woman
takes a keen interest
1034
00:55:52,975 --> 00:55:54,716
in her husband's business affairs.
1035
00:55:56,186 --> 00:55:58,803
Why did you change the design
of my husband's car?
1036
00:55:59,857 --> 00:56:01,063
And the colors.
1037
00:56:01,191 --> 00:56:04,855
You know, waltz blue happened to come from
the color of one of my dresses.
1038
00:56:05,404 --> 00:56:10,365
Mrs. Tucker, your husband's fantasy
of a rear-engine car,
1039
00:56:10,450 --> 00:56:13,659
well, it just doesn't work, that's all.
1040
00:56:13,745 --> 00:56:16,453
I'm afraid there's very little likelihood
it'll ever work.
1041
00:56:16,540 --> 00:56:18,372
I'm really sorry about that.
1042
00:56:18,458 --> 00:56:19,414
What about this?
1043
00:56:19,501 --> 00:56:22,368
Preston promised the public that his car
would sell for $1,000.
1044
00:56:22,462 --> 00:56:25,500
In this memo from you to the sales
department, you've doubled the price.
1045
00:56:27,342 --> 00:56:31,802
My wife and I would be delighted to have
you as our guest for dinner some evening.
1046
00:56:31,889 --> 00:56:33,971
I'll buy my own dinner, Benny.
1047
00:56:34,474 --> 00:56:36,636
Answer the question. Why?
1048
00:56:38,478 --> 00:56:39,468
Steel.
1049
00:56:39,938 --> 00:56:41,975
We just can't get any of it.
1050
00:56:42,733 --> 00:56:46,021
It's costing us
twice as much as the Big Three.
1051
00:56:47,696 --> 00:56:50,734
Really, Mrs. Tucker,
I don't mean to be rude,
1052
00:56:50,824 --> 00:56:54,362
but we're in the middle
of a rather crucial meeting here.
1053
00:57:05,297 --> 00:57:08,164
When you're riding in a Tucker
1054
00:57:09,468 --> 00:57:11,084
When you're riding in a Tucker
1055
00:57:12,554 --> 00:57:14,170
When you're riding in a Tucker
1056
00:57:15,474 --> 00:57:18,808
The car of tomorrow
The oar of tomorrow
1057
00:57:18,894 --> 00:57:20,430
Today
1058
00:57:20,520 --> 00:57:22,306
The oar of tomorrow
1059
00:57:22,397 --> 00:57:24,434
Today
1060
00:57:30,072 --> 00:57:32,279
Hi, folks. I'm Preston Tucker.
1061
00:57:32,366 --> 00:57:34,107
It's not polite to blow your own horn--
1062
00:57:36,036 --> 00:57:38,198
So I'll let the soundman do it for me.
1063
00:57:42,584 --> 00:57:43,699
But seriously...
1064
00:57:44,461 --> 00:57:45,826
-Who wrote this?
-Okay, cut.
1065
00:57:45,921 --> 00:57:47,503
I'll think of my own stuff to say.
1066
00:57:47,589 --> 00:57:49,125
Call for Mr. Tucker.
1067
00:57:49,800 --> 00:57:50,756
I'll call them back.
1068
00:57:50,842 --> 00:57:52,879
It's your wife. She says it's important.
1069
00:57:52,970 --> 00:57:54,005
All right.
1070
00:57:55,263 --> 00:57:56,879
We can do better than this, fellas.
1071
00:57:58,558 --> 00:57:59,468
-Hey, doll.
-Honey.
1072
00:57:59,559 --> 00:58:01,345
You better get back here right away.
1073
00:58:01,436 --> 00:58:03,552
Dad, Bennington's changed the designs
1074
00:58:03,647 --> 00:58:05,558
to a standard V-8 front-mounted engine.
1075
00:58:05,649 --> 00:58:07,139
He's changed
the whole body and everything.
1076
00:58:07,234 --> 00:58:10,226
Junior, don't worry. It's all right.
1077
00:58:10,320 --> 00:58:12,436
Alex told me that if Bennington
keeps tooling up
1078
00:58:12,531 --> 00:58:14,442
for his 1940 Plymouth version
he's gonna build,
1079
00:58:14,533 --> 00:58:16,649
it'll cost millions for us
to retool for our car.
1080
00:58:16,743 --> 00:58:19,235
Junior, the only thing that matters now
is selling stock.
1081
00:58:19,329 --> 00:58:22,287
If we don't, there's not gonna be
any car to ruin. Forget about Bennington.
1082
00:58:22,541 --> 00:58:23,622
The minute I get home,
1083
00:58:23,709 --> 00:58:25,416
I'll send him back to the mortuary
with the rest of the undertakers.
1084
00:58:25,502 --> 00:58:26,537
One more thing.
1085
00:58:26,628 --> 00:58:29,666
Bennington says to double the price
you advertise the car would sell for
1086
00:58:29,756 --> 00:58:31,713
because we're being charged
twice as much for steel.
1087
00:58:31,800 --> 00:58:33,382
Will you turn that down!
1088
00:58:33,468 --> 00:58:36,551
And, Preston, no waltz blue.
1089
00:58:36,638 --> 00:58:37,503
What?
1090
00:58:37,597 --> 00:58:38,462
Our color.
1091
00:58:40,767 --> 00:58:42,633
Doll, I'm on my way back.
1092
00:58:42,728 --> 00:58:43,638
All right.
1093
00:58:46,606 --> 00:58:48,188
The rear engine is out.
1094
00:58:48,275 --> 00:58:51,984
Your own engineers admit
that 589 engine is a failure.
1095
00:58:52,070 --> 00:58:54,277
The chair will recognize
no further discussion on that matter.
1096
00:58:54,364 --> 00:58:57,277
The chair? Who made him the chair?
1097
00:58:57,701 --> 00:58:59,442
Also denied
1098
00:58:59,536 --> 00:59:01,823
and eliminated from any further discussion
1099
00:59:01,913 --> 00:59:03,529
are disc brakes,
1100
00:59:03,623 --> 00:59:05,239
fuel injection,
1101
00:59:05,333 --> 00:59:07,825
hydraulic valve lifters,
1102
00:59:07,919 --> 00:59:08,784
seat belts--
1103
00:59:08,879 --> 00:59:09,710
Seat belts?
1104
00:59:09,921 --> 00:59:11,252
How can you object to seat belts?
1105
00:59:11,339 --> 00:59:14,206
Our marketing department says
they imply the cars are unsafe.
1106
00:59:14,718 --> 00:59:16,208
People are unsafe.
1107
00:59:16,303 --> 00:59:18,544
Bennington, if one person
is killed in a Tucker
1108
00:59:18,638 --> 00:59:21,721
because of some safety feature
you eliminated, I swear to God...
1109
00:59:21,808 --> 00:59:24,175
-May I remind you...
-I'm gonna drag you by the teeth...
1110
00:59:24,269 --> 00:59:26,931
...you have no voice
in matters of policy here.
1111
00:59:27,022 --> 00:59:29,229
I'm in complete charge of this company.
1112
00:59:29,733 --> 00:59:31,315
What company? My company?
1113
00:59:32,611 --> 00:59:36,855
I think you'll find it stated
unequivocally in my contract.
1114
00:59:44,372 --> 00:59:45,362
Is that true?
1115
00:59:48,043 --> 00:59:50,626
We needed his name to sell the stock.
You knew that.
1116
00:59:52,672 --> 00:59:55,755
We needed a man with experience
to run things, but...
1117
00:59:57,385 --> 00:59:59,547
Tucker, I give you my word,
I swear to God,
1118
01:00:00,347 --> 01:00:02,554
I didn't know that was in his contract.
1119
01:00:05,143 --> 01:00:09,387
You can't have Falstaff
and have him thin, Mr. Tucker.
1120
01:00:11,108 --> 01:00:12,269
What does that mean?
1121
01:00:13,193 --> 01:00:14,149
Well...
1122
01:00:15,237 --> 01:00:18,730
little boats should be kept
near the shore.
1123
01:00:18,824 --> 01:00:20,565
He talks like a fortune cookie.
1124
01:00:20,992 --> 01:00:22,528
This is my company, Bennington.
1125
01:00:22,911 --> 01:00:25,778
That means seat belts, disc brakes,
1126
01:00:25,872 --> 01:00:28,034
fuel injection, and a rear engine.
1127
01:00:28,500 --> 01:00:30,741
We'll see about that, Mr. Tucker.
1128
01:00:37,926 --> 01:00:40,338
That son of a bitch
is not gonna take over my company!
1129
01:00:40,428 --> 01:00:41,509
Daddy.
1130
01:00:41,805 --> 01:00:43,546
-Just take it easy.
-Forgive me, sweetie.
1131
01:00:45,267 --> 01:00:46,177
Hello.
1132
01:00:46,977 --> 01:00:48,012
Hold on.
1133
01:00:48,520 --> 01:00:50,386
Dad, it's for you.
1134
01:00:52,107 --> 01:00:54,018
He says he's Howard Hughes.
1135
01:00:55,443 --> 01:00:56,558
Hello.
1136
01:00:57,404 --> 01:00:58,735
Is this some kind of--
1137
01:01:03,410 --> 01:01:04,616
I'll be right there.
1138
01:01:09,875 --> 01:01:11,036
Well, I'll be.
1139
01:02:25,283 --> 01:02:26,364
Hi.
1140
01:02:27,160 --> 01:02:28,275
Howard Hughes.
1141
01:02:30,288 --> 01:02:31,824
What do you think of it, kid?
1142
01:02:33,166 --> 01:02:34,372
It's big.
1143
01:02:35,669 --> 01:02:37,000
That's what they tell me.
1144
01:02:37,879 --> 01:02:39,916
Here, do you like pistachio nuts?
1145
01:02:42,092 --> 01:02:43,332
Lawyers.
1146
01:02:44,761 --> 01:02:47,879
All they can think about is
whether it will fly or not.
1147
01:02:48,682 --> 01:02:50,548
Who cares whether it flies?
1148
01:02:50,642 --> 01:02:52,303
That's not the point.
1149
01:02:53,520 --> 01:02:54,885
And...
1150
01:02:54,980 --> 01:02:56,812
Spruce Goose.
1151
01:02:56,898 --> 01:02:58,388
Now, why do they call it that?
1152
01:02:58,483 --> 01:03:00,224
Does that seem funny to you?
1153
01:03:00,777 --> 01:03:02,108
I can't tell anymore.
1154
01:03:04,364 --> 01:03:05,570
People.
1155
01:03:06,866 --> 01:03:08,527
Did I change, or...
1156
01:03:08,952 --> 01:03:11,114
did the cosmic sense of humor?
1157
01:03:12,372 --> 01:03:14,204
I used to laugh when they did.
1158
01:03:16,751 --> 01:03:17,866
This...
1159
01:03:19,045 --> 01:03:20,331
prick...
1160
01:03:20,588 --> 01:03:22,044
Homer Ferguson.
1161
01:03:23,591 --> 01:03:24,877
He's after me, too.
1162
01:03:24,968 --> 01:03:27,926
Subpoenaed me
for a congressional investigation...
1163
01:03:29,848 --> 01:03:31,714
which either I show up for,
1164
01:03:32,100 --> 01:03:33,340
in person,
1165
01:03:34,269 --> 01:03:35,805
or he's going to send me to jail.
1166
01:03:39,899 --> 01:03:41,264
I'm already in jail.
1167
01:03:49,200 --> 01:03:50,065
Steel.
1168
01:03:51,202 --> 01:03:52,988
That's what I called you about.
1169
01:03:53,663 --> 01:03:55,745
There's a helicopter plant
1170
01:03:56,333 --> 01:03:58,324
in Syracuse,
1171
01:03:58,418 --> 01:04:02,002
called the Air-Cooled Motor Company.
1172
01:04:02,797 --> 01:04:06,381
And they're not connected
to any government agency, so...
1173
01:04:08,678 --> 01:04:11,466
the politicians can't screw you out of it.
1174
01:04:14,267 --> 01:04:18,886
Well, this helicopter company
has all the steel you need.
1175
01:04:19,856 --> 01:04:22,564
And they're on their ass
financially, so...
1176
01:04:23,193 --> 01:04:24,729
if you hurry up,
1177
01:04:25,862 --> 01:04:27,444
they're ready to deal.
1178
01:04:28,823 --> 01:04:29,858
And they...
1179
01:04:30,241 --> 01:04:33,199
they make a really fine aluminum engine.
1180
01:04:34,704 --> 01:04:36,115
But listen, now.
1181
01:04:37,082 --> 01:04:39,619
For God's sake, now, you don't--
1182
01:04:46,257 --> 01:04:47,338
I wonder...
1183
01:04:49,511 --> 01:04:51,798
I wonder how they get the blood off.
1184
01:05:03,274 --> 01:05:04,639
Well, what do you think, Jimmy?
1185
01:05:05,318 --> 01:05:07,025
It's a helicopter engine.
1186
01:05:07,112 --> 01:05:10,104
It needs to be converted
from air-cooled to water.
1187
01:05:11,074 --> 01:05:13,406
But as a starting point, maybe.
1188
01:05:13,785 --> 01:05:15,776
It's small, which is good. Simple.
1189
01:05:15,870 --> 01:05:18,362
Take it apart, Eddie.
I'll work on the drawings.
1190
01:05:18,456 --> 01:05:20,163
Oh, time. Time.
1191
01:05:20,250 --> 01:05:22,287
Fighting Bennington in court
would take years.
1192
01:05:22,377 --> 01:05:25,039
Meanwhile, he's retooling his car
as fast as he can.
1193
01:05:25,463 --> 01:05:28,296
The only way to build this engine
is to do it right here in the barn,
1194
01:05:28,383 --> 01:05:29,589
out of Bennington's sight.
1195
01:05:29,676 --> 01:05:31,417
The Senate War Investigating Committee,
1196
01:05:31,511 --> 01:05:33,127
headed by Senator Homer Ferguson,
1197
01:05:33,221 --> 01:05:35,588
has subpoenaed aircraft designer
Howard Hughes.
1198
01:05:35,974 --> 01:05:37,590
The committee will investigate charges...
1199
01:05:37,684 --> 01:05:39,140
We need a new cam shaft.
1200
01:05:41,479 --> 01:05:44,062
Intake manifold's going to have
to be reworked.
1201
01:05:44,566 --> 01:05:48,935
Excuse me, but in a helicopter,
doesn't the engine stand straight up?
1202
01:05:49,028 --> 01:05:52,271
If we lay ours sideways,
we're gonna need an oil pan down there.
1203
01:05:55,869 --> 01:05:57,451
Okay, whatever we do
1204
01:05:57,537 --> 01:05:59,744
has got to fit
into the Franklin assembly line.
1205
01:06:00,331 --> 01:06:01,446
That's it, gentlemen.
1206
01:06:08,590 --> 01:06:10,581
Hey, come on! Eddie, come on.
1207
01:06:10,675 --> 01:06:12,962
We only got till tomorrow
to get this thing together.
1208
01:06:15,096 --> 01:06:16,302
Click it over.
1209
01:06:19,934 --> 01:06:21,299
Get another battery.
1210
01:06:35,366 --> 01:06:36,447
Hey, hey!
1211
01:06:37,577 --> 01:06:38,487
Got it!
1212
01:06:42,957 --> 01:06:44,038
Go ahead! Go ahead!
1213
01:06:44,125 --> 01:06:45,240
There he goes!
1214
01:06:47,337 --> 01:06:50,705
Just like a swan.
I want it smooth like a swan on the--
1215
01:06:50,798 --> 01:06:52,459
Get out of here!
What's the matter with you?
1216
01:06:52,550 --> 01:06:53,915
You're in the shot! Get out!
1217
01:06:57,639 --> 01:06:58,595
Go, Eddie!
1218
01:07:02,101 --> 01:07:03,591
Sounds mighty nice.
1219
01:07:03,978 --> 01:07:05,594
-Hey, Eddie!
-Yeah?
1220
01:07:06,022 --> 01:07:07,638
We can drive in relays.
1221
01:07:07,732 --> 01:07:10,224
Twenty-four hours without a stop
and push her!
1222
01:07:10,610 --> 01:07:11,850
Push her to the limit!
1223
01:07:14,405 --> 01:07:15,270
Go!
1224
01:07:19,702 --> 01:07:21,067
I hope it holds up.
1225
01:07:24,499 --> 01:07:25,534
Good. Good.
1226
01:07:44,435 --> 01:07:45,345
It's neat.
1227
01:07:45,436 --> 01:07:46,767
-Enjoying?
-Yeah.
1228
01:07:49,148 --> 01:07:50,434
What do we got now?
1229
01:07:52,360 --> 01:07:53,646
Seventeen and a half hours.
1230
01:07:55,613 --> 01:07:56,648
To go'?
1231
01:08:25,935 --> 01:08:26,970
Goddamn!
1232
01:08:28,146 --> 01:08:29,762
All right, all right. Stay with him.
1233
01:08:53,212 --> 01:08:54,327
Charlie? Homer.
1234
01:08:55,131 --> 01:08:57,714
That son a bitch Tucker
built the damn thing.
1235
01:08:59,093 --> 01:09:00,754
Well, not everything he advertised,
not yet.
1236
01:09:00,845 --> 01:09:03,712
But enough to cost billions
just to keep up with him.
1237
01:09:04,349 --> 01:09:06,590
Don't worry about it now.
I'll take care of him.
1238
01:09:07,435 --> 01:09:08,800
We did it!
1239
01:09:18,696 --> 01:09:19,606
Eddie!
1240
01:09:20,657 --> 01:09:21,863
Oh, my God!
1241
01:09:21,949 --> 01:09:23,189
Hold the camera!
1242
01:09:26,621 --> 01:09:27,486
Eddie!
1243
01:09:28,623 --> 01:09:30,455
Eddie, are you all right?
1244
01:09:30,541 --> 01:09:31,827
Get an ambulance quick!
1245
01:09:31,918 --> 01:09:33,124
All right. Now, watch out.
1246
01:09:34,128 --> 01:09:37,496
Watch it. Hold it up. Watch yourself.
1247
01:09:37,590 --> 01:09:38,671
You Okay?
1248
01:09:41,928 --> 01:09:42,918
Yeah.
1249
01:09:45,056 --> 01:09:47,639
Popped out just like we said.
1250
01:09:49,352 --> 01:09:50,467
Look at that thing.
1251
01:09:50,561 --> 01:09:51,722
I can't believe it.
1252
01:09:53,940 --> 01:09:55,726
I bet you two bucks it still runs.
1253
01:09:57,527 --> 01:09:59,234
Go ahead. Start it up. Let's see.
1254
01:10:05,118 --> 01:10:06,153
Told ya.
1255
01:10:09,205 --> 01:10:10,320
All right!
1256
01:10:12,750 --> 01:10:14,457
It's a hell of a car.
1257
01:10:14,544 --> 01:10:16,911
It's one hell of a damn car!
1258
01:10:18,589 --> 01:10:20,751
That's a hell of a ride there, partner.
1259
01:10:21,509 --> 01:10:22,795
You got it, didn't you?
1260
01:10:22,885 --> 01:10:24,922
We got it. Yeah, we got it!
1261
01:10:25,012 --> 01:10:27,219
No, you look like you didn't get it!
Did you get it?
1262
01:10:27,306 --> 01:10:29,297
-Yeah, we got it.
-I hope so.
1263
01:10:29,392 --> 01:10:30,553
We got it, right?
1264
01:10:30,643 --> 01:10:32,008
We didn't get it.
1265
01:10:35,064 --> 01:10:37,601
That's right. We're going to go back
to the original drawings.
1266
01:10:37,692 --> 01:10:40,184
Keep everything the same,
the rear engine, etc.
1267
01:10:40,611 --> 01:10:42,147
Except for these numbers:
1268
01:10:43,281 --> 01:10:46,649
-Thirteen--
-Tucker, what is going on here?
1269
01:10:46,743 --> 01:10:50,361
I see you've resumed production
on your rear-engine car.
1270
01:10:50,455 --> 01:10:52,742
May I ask
by whose authority are you doing this?
1271
01:10:52,832 --> 01:10:54,573
According to my lawyer,
1272
01:10:54,667 --> 01:10:56,874
that's the car you signed to make,
that's the car we're making.
1273
01:10:57,253 --> 01:10:59,665
If you think you're going to get away
with this, Tucker, you may be in--
1274
01:10:59,756 --> 01:11:01,918
"Little ships fine," Confucius say.
1275
01:11:02,300 --> 01:11:05,167
"Rowboats long in tooth make big noise,
1276
01:11:05,595 --> 01:11:06,460
go nowhere."
1277
01:11:08,514 --> 01:11:12,052
Mr. Tucker,
you're going to hear from my attorney.
1278
01:11:12,143 --> 01:11:13,349
You can count on that.
1279
01:11:13,853 --> 01:11:15,093
Good morning, sir.
1280
01:11:16,272 --> 01:11:17,762
Nothing can stop us now.
1281
01:11:18,316 --> 01:11:20,307
"You're going to hear from my attorney."
1282
01:11:22,612 --> 01:11:24,478
This beautiful shot of the grill.
1283
01:11:24,572 --> 01:11:26,813
Now watch, you go to the side,
we get this beauty.
1284
01:11:26,908 --> 01:11:28,398
This is the beauty shot of the side.
1285
01:11:28,493 --> 01:11:30,200
Then this attendant.
Wait till you see, he's coming out.
1286
01:11:30,286 --> 01:11:33,495
He was right.
He's much better than that fat guy was.
1287
01:11:34,165 --> 01:11:36,076
Wait till you see this shot.
You won't believe it.
1288
01:11:36,167 --> 01:11:37,453
It's a great one. It's great.
1289
01:11:37,960 --> 01:11:41,203
He puts down the rag, throws it down.
I took out the kicking the tire.
1290
01:11:41,297 --> 01:11:42,412
-I didn't want to do that.
-Oh, no!
1291
01:11:42,507 --> 01:11:44,339
-Why?
-This is the best. Watch.
1292
01:11:46,010 --> 01:11:47,592
Look! Look at his eyes.
1293
01:11:48,679 --> 01:11:49,589
Now watch.
1294
01:11:49,889 --> 01:11:51,379
Here, I don't know. You point.
1295
01:11:51,474 --> 01:11:53,385
I'm thinking of putting a close-up
of your finger.
1296
01:11:53,476 --> 01:11:55,342
I don't know why you left the tire out?
1297
01:11:55,436 --> 01:11:59,270
The finger. You look good.
I don't know if we need the finger.
1298
01:11:59,357 --> 01:12:00,973
Not the finger, but the tire.
1299
01:12:02,985 --> 01:12:04,942
Abe, come here. I want you to see this.
1300
01:12:05,029 --> 01:12:07,066
Stan's promo film.
He just finished it. It's great.
1301
01:12:07,323 --> 01:12:09,280
Come here. Come here.
1302
01:12:12,203 --> 01:12:13,534
All right! All right!
1303
01:12:14,539 --> 01:12:17,327
Turn it off. I'll come back in a minute
and see the end later.
1304
01:12:18,626 --> 01:12:19,491
What?
1305
01:12:20,211 --> 01:12:22,077
Did you like it when he went...
1306
01:12:22,171 --> 01:12:23,161
Yes.
1307
01:12:32,181 --> 01:12:34,263
What's all this cloak and dagger
business now?
1308
01:12:34,350 --> 01:12:35,306
Your office is wired.
1309
01:12:35,810 --> 01:12:38,017
The board room, the whole plant,
even washrooms.
1310
01:12:38,104 --> 01:12:38,935
What?
1311
01:12:39,021 --> 01:12:41,012
Ever since you road-tested the new car,
1312
01:12:41,107 --> 01:12:43,724
40 G-men have been following you
around the clock.
1313
01:12:44,318 --> 01:12:46,810
-What for?
-You made the car too good.
1314
01:12:47,488 --> 01:12:49,820
That's the whole idea, isn't it?
To build a better mousetrap.
1315
01:12:50,533 --> 01:12:51,819
Not if you're the mouse.
1316
01:12:56,956 --> 01:12:59,823
What are you talking about?
We did it. We won.
1317
01:12:59,917 --> 01:13:02,579
In two weeks, we're gonna have
100 cars come out of this plant a day.
1318
01:13:02,670 --> 01:13:04,786
I just got off the phone with
Frank the press agent.
1319
01:13:04,881 --> 01:13:08,215
In two weeks, you're gonna be
dead and buried by the Big Three.
1320
01:13:19,437 --> 01:13:20,302
Here.
1321
01:13:22,607 --> 01:13:24,189
It's my resignation.
1322
01:13:26,444 --> 01:13:28,685
-Take it.
-You're bailing out, is that it?
1323
01:13:29,363 --> 01:13:30,899
Captains go down with their ships,
1324
01:13:31,866 --> 01:13:33,106
not businessmen.
1325
01:13:34,911 --> 01:13:36,197
Look me in the eye.
1326
01:13:37,330 --> 01:13:40,163
You're too good a salesman, Abe,
not to look a customer in the eyes.
1327
01:13:40,249 --> 01:13:41,489
You think I'm playing games here?
1328
01:13:41,626 --> 01:13:45,460
Yeah! I think you're trying
some double-whammy hustle backwards! Why?
1329
01:13:46,088 --> 01:13:47,328
You gonna make me say it?
1330
01:13:47,632 --> 01:13:49,339
Yeah. Let's start from there.
1331
01:13:57,266 --> 01:13:58,472
Okay-
1332
01:14:02,688 --> 01:14:05,225
I did three years in the pen
for bank fraud.
1333
01:14:08,569 --> 01:14:09,650
So what?
1334
01:14:10,321 --> 01:14:11,982
So they'll use it against you.
1335
01:14:14,450 --> 01:14:17,238
What, you think because of this little
piece of paper, they're not going to?
1336
01:14:17,328 --> 01:14:18,910
Just leave me alone, will you?
1337
01:14:21,999 --> 01:14:23,785
The whole ten years
since I've been in the pen,
1338
01:14:23,876 --> 01:14:26,493
it never bothered me for two seconds
I'm an ex-con.
1339
01:14:27,254 --> 01:14:28,415
Why should it?
1340
01:14:30,049 --> 01:14:30,959
Who cared?
1341
01:14:34,345 --> 01:14:38,885
But for you and Vera
and the kids to know...
1342
01:14:41,394 --> 01:14:42,976
I'm ashamed.
1343
01:14:44,105 --> 01:14:45,561
Abe, come on.
1344
01:14:48,943 --> 01:14:50,274
When I was a little kid,
1345
01:14:50,945 --> 01:14:54,313
maybe five years old in the old country,
my mother used to say to me,
1346
01:14:54,407 --> 01:14:57,445
she'd warn me, she'd say,
"Don't get too close to people.
1347
01:14:58,077 --> 01:14:59,943
You'll catch their dreams."
1348
01:15:01,330 --> 01:15:03,571
Years later,
I realized I misunderstood her.
1349
01:15:03,833 --> 01:15:06,871
"Germs", she said, not "dreams."
"You'll catch their germs."
1350
01:15:11,007 --> 01:15:12,623
I want you to know something, Tucker.
1351
01:15:13,259 --> 01:15:15,671
I went into business with you
for one reason, to make money.
1352
01:15:15,761 --> 01:15:16,967
That's all.
1353
01:15:19,724 --> 01:15:21,089
How was I to know...
1354
01:15:23,394 --> 01:15:26,011
that if I got too close,
I'd catch your dreams?
1355
01:15:36,991 --> 01:15:37,981
Here.
1356
01:15:39,994 --> 01:15:41,484
If you want to know
how they'll finish you off,
1357
01:15:41,579 --> 01:15:43,490
listen to Drew Pearson tomorrow night
on the radio.
1358
01:16:05,644 --> 01:16:07,635
Noble, bring it in!
1359
01:16:07,730 --> 01:16:09,220
Don't yell at him.
1360
01:16:09,315 --> 01:16:11,522
Good evening, ladies and gentlemen.
This is Drew Pearson.
1361
01:16:11,609 --> 01:16:14,852
The hottest news in Washington today
is about Preston Tucker,
1362
01:16:14,945 --> 01:16:18,779
that promotion-happy self-styled genius
and revolutionary auto maker.
1363
01:16:19,909 --> 01:16:22,321
For several months,
he has been under investigation
1364
01:16:22,411 --> 01:16:24,652
by the Securities and Exchange Commission.
1365
01:16:24,747 --> 01:16:27,034
And now they're ready to blow the lid off
1366
01:16:27,124 --> 01:16:30,788
one of the slickest, most cynical,
multimillion-dollar frauds
1367
01:16:30,878 --> 01:16:33,119
ever perpetrated on the American people.
1368
01:16:33,839 --> 01:16:37,377
Not only does the car have none
of the futuristic features advertised,
1369
01:16:37,468 --> 01:16:39,755
but it was put together, piece by piece,
1370
01:16:39,845 --> 01:16:42,928
from parts found
in city dumps and junkyards.
1371
01:16:43,599 --> 01:16:45,966
Local wags,
who have dubbed it the Tin Goose,
1372
01:16:46,060 --> 01:16:48,267
find it particularly amusing
1373
01:16:48,354 --> 01:16:53,565
that what Mr. Tucker calls
the car of tomorrow can't even back up.
1374
01:16:53,859 --> 01:16:56,317
-Bull!
-Neither can Mr. Tucker at this point.
1375
01:16:56,737 --> 01:17:00,071
Senator Homer Ferguson,
head of the powerful War Surplus Committee
1376
01:17:00,157 --> 01:17:04,947
will spearhead a congressional probe
to find out exactly what happened
1377
01:17:05,037 --> 01:17:07,574
to the $26 million Tucker raised.
1378
01:17:08,124 --> 01:17:11,992
One thing for certain,
he didn't spend it making cars.
1379
01:17:12,711 --> 01:17:15,794
On a lighter note,
the rumor around Capitol Hill this week--
1380
01:17:21,929 --> 01:17:23,260
They can't say that.
1381
01:17:25,307 --> 01:17:26,513
We'll kill 'em.
1382
01:17:27,852 --> 01:17:29,718
Are you going to let them say that, Pop?
1383
01:17:31,689 --> 01:17:34,147
Who do they think they're dealing with
here, some cream puff?
1384
01:17:37,027 --> 01:17:39,894
They don't know it,
but they just opened Aunt Dora's box.
1385
01:17:45,244 --> 01:17:46,575
We love you, Daddy.
1386
01:17:48,956 --> 01:17:51,368
But it's Pandora's box.
1387
01:17:58,674 --> 01:18:00,130
Oh, no.
1388
01:18:03,179 --> 01:18:04,965
Good morning, Miss Yanpaulski.
1389
01:18:06,182 --> 01:18:07,923
When did they take the files, last night?
1390
01:18:08,392 --> 01:18:10,759
-The SEC?
-Nobody touched anything here.
1391
01:18:10,853 --> 01:18:13,220
I called all the departments the minute
I got in this morning.
1392
01:18:14,565 --> 01:18:16,397
-Get me the editor on the phone.
-Yes, sir.
1393
01:18:21,655 --> 01:18:22,736
Can you believe that?
1394
01:18:25,784 --> 01:18:26,740
Nice day.
1395
01:18:27,244 --> 01:18:28,780
Wait a minute! You come back here!
1396
01:18:28,871 --> 01:18:30,828
You can't go in there!
You have no right to go in there.
1397
01:18:31,081 --> 01:18:32,287
Mr. Tucker, Mr. Tucker.
1398
01:18:32,374 --> 01:18:34,706
We're from the Securities
and Exchange Commission.
1399
01:18:35,336 --> 01:18:38,704
We have a court order
confiscating all files,
1400
01:18:38,797 --> 01:18:41,664
letters, accounting books, memos, all...
1401
01:18:43,219 --> 01:18:46,587
If you simply cooperate with us, we'll get
our work done as quickly as possible.
1402
01:18:46,680 --> 01:18:48,762
That's one hell of a newspaper
you got there, mister.
1403
01:18:48,849 --> 01:18:51,807
It's the only one I ever saw
that prints the news before it happens.
1404
01:18:52,853 --> 01:18:57,142
So, speaking for myself
and the other members of the board,
1405
01:18:57,942 --> 01:19:01,276
we hereby submit our resignations,
effective immediately.
1406
01:19:02,863 --> 01:19:06,026
What about the hundreds of dealers
filing suit against you?
1407
01:19:06,116 --> 01:19:09,575
Any comment on the district attorney
confiscating the assets of the company?
1408
01:19:09,662 --> 01:19:11,152
Ladies and gentlemen, please.
1409
01:19:11,497 --> 01:19:13,329
Address questions to Mr. Bennington.
1410
01:19:13,749 --> 01:19:15,456
How long will the plant stay open?
1411
01:19:16,293 --> 01:19:18,284
The plant is officially closed.
1412
01:20:36,582 --> 01:20:38,448
-Hey, hey.
-Hey. hey!
1413
01:20:38,542 --> 01:20:39,498
It's Dad!
1414
01:20:39,585 --> 01:20:40,495
Yeah.
1415
01:20:54,725 --> 01:20:56,887
Let's see your driver's license.
1416
01:20:57,644 --> 01:20:59,601
Swell. Where's the girls, huh?
1417
01:20:59,980 --> 01:21:00,845
He comes alone.
1418
01:21:00,939 --> 01:21:01,804
Here, hold that.
1419
01:21:05,444 --> 01:21:07,151
This is a great interior.
1420
01:21:14,828 --> 01:21:16,239
In a week
1421
01:21:16,330 --> 01:21:19,448
all we'd have to do is push a button
and be turning out 100 cars a day.
1422
01:21:20,709 --> 01:21:22,450
Well, tell me something.
1423
01:21:22,920 --> 01:21:26,663
If we got 50 cars ready by June 1,
they can't take the plant away, right?
1424
01:21:26,757 --> 01:21:28,418
Not according to the contract.
1425
01:21:28,509 --> 01:21:30,841
So, how many cars are ready right now?
1426
01:21:30,928 --> 01:21:32,464
-Assembled.
-Forty-seven.
1427
01:21:32,554 --> 01:21:34,044
We only need three more?
1428
01:21:35,349 --> 01:21:36,589
Who's going to do it, though?
1429
01:21:37,142 --> 01:21:39,179
Won't be the first time
we've worked for free.
1430
01:21:39,520 --> 01:21:42,353
We can't assemble three cars
in four weeks? Ha!
1431
01:21:42,439 --> 01:21:46,524
Can anybody in this car look me in the eye
and say we can't do it?
1432
01:21:48,195 --> 01:21:49,185
We can't do it.
1433
01:21:49,279 --> 01:21:50,394
Except you.
1434
01:21:52,199 --> 01:21:53,439
Will you grow a beard?
1435
01:21:54,993 --> 01:21:57,109
-Who's he talking to, me?
-Yeah, you.
1436
01:21:57,204 --> 01:21:59,115
You look old enough
to be a department head.
1437
01:22:11,176 --> 01:22:12,041
Hello.
1438
01:22:12,136 --> 01:22:13,171
Who's this? You?
1439
01:22:14,221 --> 01:22:15,211
Abe?
1440
01:22:15,305 --> 01:22:16,670
Tucker, don't go home.
1441
01:22:16,765 --> 01:22:19,177
There's two police cars waiting for you.
They're going to arrest you.
1442
01:22:19,685 --> 01:22:21,596
-Don't go home?
-And this you won't believe.
1443
01:22:21,687 --> 01:22:25,430
Outside the police station,
maybe there's 50, a hundred reporters,
1444
01:22:25,524 --> 01:22:27,936
photographers, newsreels even.
1445
01:22:28,652 --> 01:22:30,768
They're going to drag you out
in leg irons.
1446
01:22:31,572 --> 01:22:32,437
You're kidding me.
1447
01:22:32,531 --> 01:22:34,738
Get out of there!
Go some place they can't find you.
1448
01:22:34,825 --> 01:22:35,690
Go!
1449
01:22:43,250 --> 01:22:46,333
They want headlines!
I'll give them a beaut!
1450
01:22:46,753 --> 01:22:48,289
Dad, what are you doing?
1451
01:22:48,380 --> 01:22:49,620
I'm going home.
1452
01:23:08,358 --> 01:23:10,269
One of you wouldn't happen
to have a light on you, would you?
1453
01:24:14,341 --> 01:24:15,297
Which way did he go?
1454
01:24:15,551 --> 01:24:16,541
I don't know.
1455
01:24:16,635 --> 01:24:17,545
We lost him.
1456
01:24:39,116 --> 01:24:41,574
All right! All right! Back off! Back off!
1457
01:24:42,869 --> 01:24:43,984
Pipe down!
1458
01:24:45,080 --> 01:24:45,945
Quiet!
1459
01:24:46,999 --> 01:24:47,955
Thank you.
1460
01:24:49,126 --> 01:24:51,584
Now, what is going on here?
1461
01:24:51,670 --> 01:24:53,752
Ask these officers about
the 100-mile-an-hour chase
1462
01:24:53,839 --> 01:24:56,501
I just gave them in this poor old
patched together junkyard wreck.
1463
01:24:58,051 --> 01:24:59,507
How about cuffing me, boys?
1464
01:24:59,761 --> 01:25:01,092
Get in there!
1465
01:25:06,310 --> 01:25:09,974
And in the local news,
Preston Tucker goes on trial this morning
1466
01:25:10,063 --> 01:25:12,805
in the same courthouse
where Al Capone was convicted.
1467
01:25:13,066 --> 01:25:16,855
Tucker has been charged with
25 counts of using the mails to defraud,
1468
01:25:16,945 --> 01:25:19,937
five counts of Securities
and Exchange Commission violations,
1469
01:25:20,032 --> 01:25:22,569
and one count of conspiracy to defraud.
1470
01:25:22,659 --> 01:25:25,902
If convicted, Tucker,
who is out on $25,000 bail,
1471
01:25:25,996 --> 01:25:29,785
faces a maximum sentence
of 155 years in prison
1472
01:25:29,875 --> 01:25:31,866
plus a $60,000 fine.
1473
01:25:40,010 --> 01:25:41,000
Be seated.
1474
01:25:44,222 --> 01:25:49,308
And regarding his revolutionary designs,
we shall prove Mr. Tucker only designed
1475
01:25:49,394 --> 01:25:51,305
an elaborate scheme to defraud.
1476
01:25:51,605 --> 01:25:53,892
All he wanted was the public's money
for nothing,
1477
01:25:53,982 --> 01:25:56,690
and that's exactly
what the public got. Nothing.
1478
01:25:57,778 --> 01:26:02,147
The government has said that
Mr. Tucker's purpose was to con the public
1479
01:26:02,240 --> 01:26:04,572
into believing a great car was coming.
1480
01:26:04,993 --> 01:26:08,952
His real purpose was to lie and get money.
1481
01:26:11,208 --> 01:26:12,664
Are you all right, Mommy?
1482
01:26:13,126 --> 01:26:14,412
It's very hot in here.
1483
01:26:15,754 --> 01:26:18,872
Your father might say it's not the heat,
it's the humility.
1484
01:26:20,008 --> 01:26:23,217
The Tucker Corporation
was started in good faith.
1485
01:26:24,596 --> 01:26:27,805
The defendant
intended to mass produce cars.
1486
01:26:28,517 --> 01:26:32,351
His failure to do so
was caused by a lack of adequate financing
1487
01:26:32,688 --> 01:26:36,226
due to serious outside interference.
1488
01:26:54,084 --> 01:26:58,328
I wouldn't put $7,500 down
on a car dealership
1489
01:26:58,422 --> 01:27:00,709
without a guaranteed supply of cars.
1490
01:27:01,174 --> 01:27:03,666
They were going to put out
1,000 cars a day.
1491
01:27:03,927 --> 01:27:07,340
I run a service station
and sell a few used cars.
1492
01:27:07,431 --> 01:27:09,422
The person who walked into your station
1493
01:27:09,516 --> 01:27:11,974
and sold you that dealership,
do you see him in the courtroom?
1494
01:27:12,561 --> 01:27:13,426
Him.
1495
01:27:13,937 --> 01:27:17,271
Let the record state that the witness
identified Mr. Abe Karatz.
1496
01:27:17,774 --> 01:27:21,768
Did he disclose that he served three years
in a federal penitentiary for bank fraud?
1497
01:27:21,862 --> 01:27:24,320
Objection. Guilt by association.
1498
01:27:24,406 --> 01:27:26,067
Overruled.
1499
01:27:27,200 --> 01:27:31,444
Mr. Karatz, is it not true that you were
convicted in June of 1935
1500
01:27:31,538 --> 01:27:33,620
of conspiring to embezzle funds,
1501
01:27:33,999 --> 01:27:36,661
and you served three years of a one
to five-year sentence
1502
01:27:36,752 --> 01:27:38,368
in a federal penitentiary?
1503
01:27:38,879 --> 01:27:39,869
That's true.
1504
01:27:40,714 --> 01:27:42,751
Tell me, as a convicted felon,
1505
01:27:43,341 --> 01:27:46,129
do you expect one person
in this entire courtroom
1506
01:27:46,219 --> 01:27:47,584
to believe what you say?
1507
01:27:55,645 --> 01:27:56,510
One.
1508
01:28:10,660 --> 01:28:15,370
A well-run corporation doesn't waste money
to research innovations,
1509
01:28:15,457 --> 01:28:19,246
unless, of course, keeping up with
the competition demands it.
1510
01:28:20,545 --> 01:28:23,003
Here is a man, Mr. Tucker,
1511
01:28:23,548 --> 01:28:26,836
who had the responsibility
for forming a well-run corporation.
1512
01:28:27,344 --> 01:28:30,052
He has the largest factory in the world,
1513
01:28:30,639 --> 01:28:33,677
containing two foundries,
a dozen tool and die shops,
1514
01:28:33,767 --> 01:28:35,883
every piece of equipment ever made.
1515
01:28:36,228 --> 01:28:40,563
Can you suggest why he would choose
to build his engine in a barn?
1516
01:28:40,649 --> 01:28:41,559
Objection!
1517
01:28:41,650 --> 01:28:43,311
-Which had so little equipment--
-Sustained.
1518
01:28:43,401 --> 01:28:45,142
...most of the work had to be done
on a kitchen stove.
1519
01:28:45,237 --> 01:28:48,525
Please confine your remarks
to questioning the witness.
1520
01:28:49,950 --> 01:28:51,816
This whole trial has been
bought and paid for.
1521
01:28:51,910 --> 01:28:53,901
Wrapped up like a Christmas present
Detroit gave itself.
1522
01:28:54,371 --> 01:28:56,362
I'll be lucky to get
ten or 15 years in jail.
1523
01:28:56,915 --> 01:28:58,997
He hasn't proven anything yet.
1524
01:28:59,084 --> 01:28:59,994
Not legally.
1525
01:29:00,085 --> 01:29:02,497
He has if they think he has.
1526
01:29:14,516 --> 01:29:17,383
I'm an investigating accountant
for the SEC.
1527
01:29:17,477 --> 01:29:19,809
What was the amount
the Tucker Corporation paid
1528
01:29:19,896 --> 01:29:22,513
for the engine and transmission prototype
1529
01:29:22,607 --> 01:29:26,646
which we have established was built
entirely from parts found in junkyards?
1530
01:29:27,362 --> 01:29:30,445
$223,000.
1531
01:29:30,699 --> 01:29:31,609
What?
1532
01:29:31,700 --> 01:29:32,781
That's a lie.
1533
01:29:33,326 --> 01:29:34,782
Who was all of this money paid to?
1534
01:29:35,161 --> 01:29:39,200
Ypsilanti Machine and Tool Company.
1535
01:29:39,791 --> 01:29:41,498
Can you describe their factory?
1536
01:29:42,377 --> 01:29:43,583
What factory?
1537
01:29:43,670 --> 01:29:45,035
It's a barn.
1538
01:29:45,422 --> 01:29:48,756
I can't believe they would go that far
in forging an entire set of books.
1539
01:29:48,842 --> 01:29:51,209
I've got every receipt, invoice,
1540
01:29:51,303 --> 01:29:54,045
check, bank statement.
1541
01:29:54,764 --> 01:29:57,176
Exactly to the penny how much money came
in and what we spent,
1542
01:29:57,267 --> 01:29:59,258
which is nowhere near what they said.
1543
01:29:59,728 --> 01:30:03,847
Why would they do something stupid like
that if they know we can prove it's a lie?
1544
01:30:03,940 --> 01:30:06,932
People believe what they read in
the papers, even if they don't believe it.
1545
01:30:07,027 --> 01:30:08,267
Which doesn't make any sense, right?
1546
01:30:08,361 --> 01:30:10,227
But if enough headlines say
that I'm a crook,
1547
01:30:10,322 --> 01:30:13,189
well, that's the end of me and the car.
Which is what this is all about, right?
1548
01:30:13,283 --> 01:30:16,867
I'm gonna go home and bring back
every scrap of paper from the files.
1549
01:30:16,953 --> 01:30:20,867
If they make headlines with lies,
we can make bigger headlines with truth.
1550
01:30:39,809 --> 01:30:40,844
I couldn't sleep.
1551
01:30:41,686 --> 01:30:42,721
Good.
1552
01:30:42,812 --> 01:30:44,177
We could use some help.
1553
01:31:05,585 --> 01:31:09,328
And all of the evidence suggests
that Mr. Tucker diverted,
1554
01:31:09,422 --> 01:31:11,584
for his own personal use,
1555
01:31:11,675 --> 01:31:14,337
over a million dollars
of the stockholders' money.
1556
01:31:20,058 --> 01:31:22,470
I have here a copy of The Detroit News
1557
01:31:22,560 --> 01:31:26,474
with a story about the SEC investigation
1558
01:31:26,564 --> 01:31:27,725
of the Tucker Corporation,
1559
01:31:27,816 --> 01:31:30,683
which contains
a number of specific details
1560
01:31:30,777 --> 01:31:34,486
which seem to be verbatim
from the SEC report admitted as evidence.
1561
01:31:34,572 --> 01:31:38,315
Can you tell me how The Detroit News
might have got a hold of this information?
1562
01:31:38,410 --> 01:31:39,866
I have no idea.
1563
01:31:42,664 --> 01:31:47,409
Mr. Blue, I have here a deposition
from one Susan McNamara.
1564
01:31:47,502 --> 01:31:49,743
I believe she's your private secretary,
1565
01:31:49,838 --> 01:31:54,799
in which she states
that she saw you hand a copy of the report
1566
01:31:54,884 --> 01:31:57,626
to the writer of that article
for The Detroit News.
1567
01:31:58,054 --> 01:32:02,048
And furthermore, you instructed her
to supply him with an office
1568
01:32:02,142 --> 01:32:05,260
in a federal building
in which to write that article.
1569
01:32:06,896 --> 01:32:09,479
Now, why, ladies and gentlemen,
would the SEC
1570
01:32:09,566 --> 01:32:14,151
release information about Mr. Tucker,
which may or may not be true,
1571
01:32:14,237 --> 01:32:18,026
when it is against SEC policy to do so?
1572
01:32:18,116 --> 01:32:20,574
Objection. The SEC is not on trial here.
1573
01:32:20,660 --> 01:32:23,027
If the SEC can release information
about Mr. Tucker
1574
01:32:23,121 --> 01:32:24,987
for the purpose of slandering
Mr. Tucker's name,
1575
01:32:25,081 --> 01:32:29,166
then lie about it, like you heard Mr. Blue
do right now, how can we possibly...
1576
01:32:29,252 --> 01:32:32,620
-Mr. Kirby!
-...believe Mr. Tucker stole money.
1577
01:32:32,714 --> 01:32:35,297
Mr. Kirby,
you know that's not permissible.
1578
01:32:36,509 --> 01:32:38,466
Ladies and gentlemen, I remind you
1579
01:32:38,928 --> 01:32:41,761
the statements of the attorneys
are not evidence.
1580
01:32:43,183 --> 01:32:45,470
Mr. Kerner, any further witnesses?
1581
01:32:47,937 --> 01:32:49,223
The prosecution rests.
1582
01:32:53,985 --> 01:32:55,271
Number three!
1583
01:32:55,361 --> 01:32:57,147
And that makes number 50.
1584
01:33:08,166 --> 01:33:09,656
I'm so proud of you.
1585
01:33:11,544 --> 01:33:12,534
Hey!
1586
01:33:12,629 --> 01:33:13,835
We did it!
1587
01:33:14,255 --> 01:33:16,041
A week before the deadline.
1588
01:33:16,716 --> 01:33:18,081
It's a real beauty.
1589
01:33:27,227 --> 01:33:29,343
Tomorrow, it's our turn at bat.
1590
01:33:29,938 --> 01:33:31,804
We're gonna chop 'em up like cat food.
1591
01:33:32,315 --> 01:33:34,352
We've subpoenaed Ferguson, his wife,
1592
01:33:34,442 --> 01:33:37,150
everybody we need to prove
who started this thing,
1593
01:33:37,237 --> 01:33:38,443
why, and how.
1594
01:33:38,780 --> 01:33:41,863
I want every one of these cars,
all 50 of them,
1595
01:33:41,950 --> 01:33:44,692
lined up in front at the courthouse
tomorrow morning at 8:30.
1596
01:33:47,705 --> 01:33:49,571
Hold that tiger
1597
01:33:49,999 --> 01:33:51,740
Hold that tiger
1598
01:33:52,043 --> 01:33:53,784
Hold that tiger
1599
01:33:55,713 --> 01:33:57,420
Where are they? Where are the cars?
1600
01:34:03,346 --> 01:34:04,757
We can't wait any longer.
1601
01:34:05,098 --> 01:34:07,260
-Any comment about the news?
-No comment.
1602
01:34:07,350 --> 01:34:08,260
What news?
1603
01:34:08,351 --> 01:34:10,592
Didn't you read the paper? Here.
1604
01:34:20,280 --> 01:34:21,941
"Led by Senator Homer Ferguson,
1605
01:34:22,031 --> 01:34:24,568
a special commission
appointed by President Truman
1606
01:34:24,659 --> 01:34:27,868
ordered the War Assets Administration
to evict the Tucker Corporation
1607
01:34:27,954 --> 01:34:32,039
from the former aircraft factory
and give it to the Lustron Corporation
1608
01:34:32,125 --> 01:34:34,708
for the development of
low-cost prefab housing."
1609
01:34:44,470 --> 01:34:45,676
Hey, Dad!
1610
01:34:56,733 --> 01:34:59,851
Come on! Around the corner!
Around the corner! Come on!
1611
01:35:02,405 --> 01:35:04,396
Come on. Hurry up. Hurry up.
1612
01:35:04,490 --> 01:35:07,232
Around the corner, okay? Hurry up.
1613
01:35:14,334 --> 01:35:16,291
-Hey!
-Hey, hey, hey-
1614
01:35:16,753 --> 01:35:19,120
Wouldn't you know it,
they're digging up every street in town.
1615
01:35:19,214 --> 01:35:21,000
We had to go plumb to China and back.
1616
01:35:23,384 --> 01:35:27,423
I don't get it. This is only the 24th.
I thought we had till the 1st.
1617
01:35:28,556 --> 01:35:30,297
We had till they dropped the other shoe.
1618
01:35:34,187 --> 01:35:35,018
-Forget it.
-It's my choice.
1619
01:35:35,104 --> 01:35:37,061
I won't let you do it.
We've got an airtight defense.
1620
01:35:37,148 --> 01:35:40,766
They had no legal right to take
that plant. They changed the rules--
1621
01:35:40,860 --> 01:35:41,975
Forget the plant.
1622
01:35:42,070 --> 01:35:44,812
The Tucker car is dead.
That's over. That's politics.
1623
01:35:45,240 --> 01:35:48,278
This is a court of law.
I won't let you cut your own throat.
1624
01:35:48,660 --> 01:35:51,118
You don't understand
how powerful the forces are
1625
01:35:51,204 --> 01:35:52,820
that are working against us here.
1626
01:35:53,248 --> 01:35:55,455
Look, I won't let you do it.
1627
01:35:55,833 --> 01:35:56,994
Tucker, look at me.
1628
01:35:57,085 --> 01:35:59,042
Preston, I'm serious.
1629
01:35:59,128 --> 01:36:02,621
If you're not careful, you're going
to spend 20 years of your life in prison.
1630
01:36:02,966 --> 01:36:05,708
We will be developing prefab houses.
1631
01:36:06,010 --> 01:36:07,466
Good to see you, Senator Ferguson.
1632
01:36:08,596 --> 01:36:11,213
These will be for people with low income.
1633
01:36:11,307 --> 01:36:13,139
Well, that's something
I thought I'd never live to see.
1634
01:36:13,226 --> 01:36:15,513
A politician with his hands
in his own pockets.
1635
01:36:30,535 --> 01:36:33,402
The defense has chosen
not to call any witnesses
1636
01:36:33,663 --> 01:36:37,622
because we feel the prosecution
has failed to make its case.
1637
01:36:38,876 --> 01:36:40,708
And in addition, Your Honor,
1638
01:36:41,963 --> 01:36:44,705
the defendant would like
to beg the court's permission
1639
01:36:44,799 --> 01:36:49,418
to make the closing statements himself
in the feeling that perhaps only he
1640
01:36:49,512 --> 01:36:52,345
can put this trial
in its proper perspective.
1641
01:36:54,767 --> 01:36:55,928
No objection.
1642
01:36:59,355 --> 01:37:00,811
Well, permission granted.
1643
01:37:02,025 --> 01:37:07,236
But if anything you say is unacceptable
in a court of law, I'll stop you.
1644
01:37:10,199 --> 01:37:11,439
Thank you, Your Honor.
1645
01:37:11,868 --> 01:37:13,108
Thank you, Senator.
1646
01:37:13,453 --> 01:37:16,195
Tell them
an honest attempt means not guilty.
1647
01:37:18,833 --> 01:37:20,119
The prosecution...
1648
01:37:21,586 --> 01:37:25,500
claims that I never had any intention
at all of building any cars,
1649
01:37:25,590 --> 01:37:27,957
that all I wanted
was to take the money and run.
1650
01:37:29,552 --> 01:37:31,919
If you decide that they're right,
1651
01:37:32,972 --> 01:37:34,178
well, I'm guilty.
1652
01:37:36,309 --> 01:37:37,720
But according to the law,
1653
01:37:38,561 --> 01:37:40,302
if I tried to make the cars,
1654
01:37:40,396 --> 01:37:42,512
even if they weren't any good,
1655
01:37:43,232 --> 01:37:44,973
even if I didn't make any...
1656
01:37:46,569 --> 01:37:49,402
but if you believe that I tried,
1657
01:37:50,865 --> 01:37:52,606
well, then, I'm not guilty.
1658
01:37:52,700 --> 01:37:55,442
It's not against the law, thank God,
to be wrong or stupid,
1659
01:37:55,536 --> 01:37:57,868
which I was both, building that prototype.
1660
01:37:58,373 --> 01:38:02,412
But what nobody has said in this
whole trial is that after the prototype,
1661
01:38:03,711 --> 01:38:05,418
I built the car that I said I would,
1662
01:38:05,505 --> 01:38:09,169
and there are 50 of them, right now,
parked on Adams Street.
1663
01:38:09,258 --> 01:38:12,467
All the judge has to do is to let you walk
down there and take a ride in one of them
1664
01:38:12,553 --> 01:38:14,885
and that's it! The trial's over.
Okay, Your Honor?
1665
01:38:14,972 --> 01:38:17,760
Objection. This is a closing statement.
Evidence is no longer admissible.
1666
01:38:17,850 --> 01:38:18,715
Sustained.
1667
01:38:18,810 --> 01:38:22,644
Would you allow the jury, please,
to just look out the window?
1668
01:38:22,730 --> 01:38:23,970
Objection.
1669
01:38:24,065 --> 01:38:25,931
You can see them from here, Your Honor.
1670
01:38:26,025 --> 01:38:27,015
Will the defendant please--
1671
01:38:27,110 --> 01:38:30,899
This whole thing's about whether
I intended to build the cars or not.
1672
01:38:30,988 --> 01:38:34,071
Will the defendant abstain from
this flagrant misuse of the courtroom!
1673
01:38:34,784 --> 01:38:35,990
Mr. Tucker!
1674
01:38:36,077 --> 01:38:38,239
Bailiffs, restrain the defendant.
1675
01:38:38,996 --> 01:38:40,327
Wha... Why did I--
1676
01:38:40,415 --> 01:38:42,998
Let the man speak! Let the man speak!
1677
01:38:43,084 --> 01:38:44,495
Let's hear the rest of it!
1678
01:38:50,967 --> 01:38:56,428
If this behavior continues, I may have
no choice but to declare this a mistrial.
1679
01:38:57,348 --> 01:39:00,215
I will not tolerate one more outburst
1680
01:39:00,309 --> 01:39:03,927
of any kind
from anybody in this courtroom!
1681
01:39:04,355 --> 01:39:05,220
I'm sorry.
1682
01:39:09,610 --> 01:39:11,817
You have one minute, Mr. Tucker.
1683
01:39:13,906 --> 01:39:15,021
Thank you, Your Honor.
1684
01:39:32,633 --> 01:39:34,715
When I was a boy I used to...
1685
01:39:36,387 --> 01:39:39,470
I used to read all about Edison
and the Wright brothers,
1686
01:39:39,932 --> 01:39:43,095
Mr. Ford... They were my heroes.
1687
01:39:44,896 --> 01:39:46,682
Rags to riches,
that's not just the name of a book,
1688
01:39:46,772 --> 01:39:49,355
that's what this country was all about.
1689
01:39:50,735 --> 01:39:52,817
We invented the free enterprise system
1690
01:39:52,904 --> 01:39:55,646
where anybody, no matter who he was,
1691
01:39:55,740 --> 01:39:58,823
where he came from,
what class he belonged to,
1692
01:39:59,327 --> 01:40:02,786
if he came up with a better idea
about anything,
1693
01:40:04,123 --> 01:40:06,239
there's no limit to how far he could go.
1694
01:40:08,961 --> 01:40:12,499
I grew up a generation too late, I guess,
because now the way the system works,
1695
01:40:12,882 --> 01:40:17,217
the loner, the dreamer, the crackpot
who comes up with some crazy idea
1696
01:40:17,303 --> 01:40:18,714
that everybody laughs at,
1697
01:40:18,804 --> 01:40:21,421
that later turns out
to revolutionize the world,
1698
01:40:21,516 --> 01:40:25,259
he's squashed from above before
he can even get his head out of the water.
1699
01:40:25,353 --> 01:40:28,846
Because the bureaucrats would rather
kill a new idea than let it rock the boat.
1700
01:40:29,065 --> 01:40:30,555
If Benjamin Franklin were alive today,
1701
01:40:30,650 --> 01:40:33,267
he'd be thrown in jail
for sailing a kite without a license.
1702
01:40:34,320 --> 01:40:35,276
It's true.
1703
01:40:36,822 --> 01:40:40,281
We're all puffed up with ourselves now
'cause we invented the bomb.
1704
01:40:41,494 --> 01:40:42,609
Dropped the...
1705
01:40:44,747 --> 01:40:47,455
Beat the daylights out of the Japanese,
the Nazis.
1706
01:40:48,251 --> 01:40:52,495
But if big business closes the door
on the little guy with a new idea,
1707
01:40:52,588 --> 01:40:54,955
we're not only closing the door
on progress
1708
01:40:55,049 --> 01:40:57,666
but we're sabotaging
everything we fought for!
1709
01:40:59,136 --> 01:41:01,503
Everything that the country stands for!
1710
01:41:04,850 --> 01:41:07,512
One day, we're gonna find ourselves
at the bottom of the heap
1711
01:41:07,603 --> 01:41:10,265
instead of king of the hill,
having no idea how we got there,
1712
01:41:10,690 --> 01:41:13,307
buying radios and cars
from our former enemies.
1713
01:41:18,864 --> 01:41:20,480
I don't believe that's going to happen.
1714
01:41:21,367 --> 01:41:22,903
I can't believe it because...
1715
01:41:24,787 --> 01:41:29,577
if I ever stop believing in the plain old
common horse sense of the American people,
1716
01:41:30,710 --> 01:41:32,917
there'd be no way
I could get out of bed in the morning.
1717
01:41:44,432 --> 01:41:45,297
Thank you.
1718
01:41:58,279 --> 01:41:59,644
Why did I let you do that?
1719
01:42:18,758 --> 01:42:19,714
Be seated.
1720
01:42:25,056 --> 01:42:27,138
Has the jury reached a verdict?
1721
01:42:29,685 --> 01:42:30,971
We have, Your Honor.
1722
01:42:36,859 --> 01:42:39,317
Will the defendant please rise.
1723
01:42:42,865 --> 01:42:45,277
We, the jurors...
1724
01:42:46,994 --> 01:42:48,405
find the defendant...
1725
01:42:49,455 --> 01:42:51,162
Preston Tucker...
1726
01:42:53,959 --> 01:42:54,824
not guilty.
1727
01:43:15,690 --> 01:43:20,400
How about every one of you
take a ride in one of those Tucker cars
1728
01:43:20,486 --> 01:43:21,772
that don't exist?
1729
01:43:36,252 --> 01:43:37,117
Look.
1730
01:43:37,795 --> 01:43:40,127
They love the cars, the people.
1731
01:43:41,882 --> 01:43:43,293
Drives me crazy.
1732
01:43:44,552 --> 01:43:46,634
The Tucker Motor Company is dead.
1733
01:43:47,805 --> 01:43:49,216
They'll never be made.
1734
01:43:49,306 --> 01:43:50,512
We made them.
1735
01:43:50,850 --> 01:43:52,261
Fifty cars.
1736
01:43:54,729 --> 01:43:56,936
Well, what's the difference,
Fifty or 50 million?
1737
01:43:57,022 --> 01:43:58,433
That's only machinery.
1738
01:44:01,360 --> 01:44:03,647
It's the idea that counts, Abe...
1739
01:44:05,448 --> 01:44:06,563
and the dream.
1740
01:45:02,713 --> 01:45:04,750
Hey, what's that? What are you up to now?
1741
01:45:05,007 --> 01:45:08,295
If we could figure a way to make
these kerosene refrigerators cheap enough
1742
01:45:08,385 --> 01:45:10,376
so the poorest people in the world
could afford them.
1743
01:45:10,471 --> 01:45:13,133
Just big enough
for two bottles of milk, see?
1744
01:45:14,183 --> 01:45:15,264
That's all.
1745
01:45:15,893 --> 01:45:18,100
So the kids
won't have to get rickets, see?
1746
01:45:18,187 --> 01:45:19,427
-Daddy's at it again.
-Here we go.
1747
01:45:19,522 --> 01:45:21,058
Hold that tiger
1748
01:45:21,816 --> 01:45:23,272
Hold that tiger
1749
01:45:23,943 --> 01:45:25,684
Hold that tiger
