32.

Excuse me, can you help me? It's quite a picture.

Thank you.

I have a bit of a... Over a million copies sold, and your hat is askew. Oh,

I didn't pose for it. I was only leaving the building.

Are you wearing your girdle? Yes, ma'am.

Oh.

Is that... Is that necessary?

A girdle doesn't stand up and announce itself.

There's a rip in your stocking. Yes, I know. Can you help me? My flight leaves

in less than an hour. How long have you been flying?

Three weeks and two days. I have an extra pair.

We're on the same crew. Follow me, booty.

Not too dark, Miss Valois.

This isn't a cabaret.

Yes, Miss Havemeyer.

Next. She likes the girdle.

So, congratulations.

When did they pick you for it?

Just last week. I was on the sound one leg.

No, no, not the flight.

The magazine.

How did it happen?

I'm not sure exactly.

Ah, pas mal. Vous avez étudié à Paris?

À l'Université de Baltimore.

Make way for the face of Pan Am.

No, don't. Don't say that.

Don't say that. I'm not. I don't apologize. You're on the cover of Life

magazine. Yes, with a face like that, you'll find a husband in a couple of

months. Oh, I'm not looking for a husband.

I hope not.

You're famous now.

No, trust her.

She's not.

Looking for a husband, that is.

Kate, I...

I tried to telephone last night.

A man just took a picture. I didn't ask for it. Of course he didn't.

I need gum. Does anyone want anything?

Oh, hi, Kate. Can you chew gum in uniform?

Clipper 22 cabin crew. Oui?

Have any of you ladies seen your purser, Bridget Pierce?

And the magazine?

Oh, no, I'm just thinking. Are you sure? We'll sell it in a couple hours. I'll

take one.

Here, take mine.

A pack of Wilmington's and a young lady's chewing gum.

Sixty-eight cents.

Keep the change.

Thank you.

Pretty girl.

Very.

Are you ready for your first assignment?

Now? Seek 3-D.

We need to detain him at Customs and Heathrow.

Replace the British fees in his passport with this expired one without a knowing

take that as rhetorical.

We got your gum

Maggie

This is Bill from Pan Am Scheduling. Can you volunteer for a special flight last

minute? I think you're working off the wrong list.

We're missing our lead stewardess on our New York to London.

Can you come and be our purser? Today?

8.30, departure.

Margaret, this is Paul Gilbert. Pan Am is launching a new clipper jet and I

cannot let it fly without a purser.

Did you know I was grounded, Paul Gilbert?

Uniform violation.

Not if you can get here in 35 minutes. I wish I could. I'm in the city.

Get your fanny to Midtown. I'll have a helicopter waiting for you at

headquarters. And, sweetheart, wear the girdle.

Helicopter? An extraordinary gesture on my part to get your purser here on time.

Bridget's not here yet? Not your problem.

Clipper Majestic departs on schedule.

Write her first chapter, Captain.

John?

Hey, John!

Was that you or the one from Rome?

Oui.

Well, he's about to be the one from London, huh?

Did you know he was on this flight?

I love surprises.

Smile through it, dear.

Listen, you can crash here, but lock the door when you leave.

Maggie!

You dropped your silly blue hat.

Look, I get to see the world, Sam.

When was the last time you left the village? I don't need to see the world

to change it. Well, I do.

Taxi! Taxi!

Taxi!

I'm going to 200 Park Avenue, the Pan Am building.

It's beautiful.

Brand new.

Never been flown.

What do you think, ladies?

Can we make this work?

Are you a pilot?

One of them. No, he's our co-pilot.

First officer.

First officer.

Okay, miss.

Eyes forward.

Fuel quantity checked.

Flight controls free and correct.

You ready, boys?

Hey, you nervous? Because I could take that seat if you're nervous.

Thanks, Ted.

But Pan Am wants actual pilots in the left seat.

Welcome aboard, Mr. Sable.

Right this way.

3D is the aisle.

May I take your coat? I wear a coat when it's cold.

Your briefcase?

Jean, with Peter, please.

Colette. Bonjour.

Welcome aboard, monsieur.

John, please slow down. Tommy slipped.

Oh, you all right, buddy?

Uh, Evelyn?

Coat? If you don't mind, I'd love to get our son settled in first.

Certainly.

Clipper 22, tower. Your special delivery just landed. Over. Roger that, tower.

That's a girl.

We're happy to have you with us this morning.

Well, thanks, Kate.

Hey, Maggie, you're a purser? Best they can manage on short notice.

Can we roll out, gentlemen?

I'm getting tired of waiting. Maggie?

Dean?

You're a captain now? Don't you just fly in on a helicopter?

Oh, well, I like to make an entrance.

Uh, where's, where's Bridget?

I don't know. They just called me to fill in.

Yeah, who's filling in the rest of her?

He won't be doing any actual flying, will he?

Well, welcome aboard, Maggie.

Thanks.

So, who else do we have?

A new hire.

She's in back.

Laura Cameron?

My sister.

I can't seem to escape her. They put you two on the same flight?

Wasn't that something?

Clear for takeoff.

3-1 left. Clipper 2-2 on the roll.

So how new are you, Laura?

Is it that obvious?

Better buckle up. Adventure calls.

Oh.

Go ahead.

Say it.

Welcome, ladies and gentlemen.

This is your captain speaking.

Today you get to share a bit of history with us here at Pan American.

This is the maiden voyage of the newest clipper jet in the Pan Am fleet.

If you've ever flown on a jet to Europe before, you're in for a real treat.

Our flight will only take six and a half hours with no vibrations or outside

noise in our air-conditioned cabin.

Thirsty? An American man would say something, no?

Depends on the subject.

Family in row five and six.

He's married.

Oh. Did you ask?

No, I don't care. I was only surprised.

Oh. Well, good.

Okay. That's very French of you.

Should we spike his food or his drink?

Both. Relax and enjoy your clipper jet service to Europe.

What? I don't think I can call you Captain.

You gonna be able to call him Captain, Sanjeev? 35,000 feet, Captain.

I don't think I can do it.

Maybe I'll start in Spanish, work my way up to it.

Boston Center, Clipper 22 with you. Flight level 350, heading 0190 degrees.

Roger, Clipper 22.

Hey, Boston, could you contact Pan Am Operations and see if they could secure

a location on a Bridget Pierce?

Come again, Clipper 22.

Check on our missing stewardess. Oh, yeah?

Whoa, bailing out already. Permission to christen the John, El Capitan.

Nope, still sounds weird.

Maybe an Italian.

Well, Bridget must have called somebody.

She'll turn up. She'll lose those.

Hey, Maggie.

Heard you got grounded.

Somebody caught you out of your girdle?

Won't be the last time.

Let me know if you need help with that uniform inspection.

Thanks, but I think I'll leave that to more experienced.

Excuse me.

Pardon me.

Lunch minute?

Would you take our picture for us? Thank you.

Oh, I've never seen one like that. Yeah, it takes a special film. The photos

develop right inside.

It was a wedding present from my parents. Yeah, it's all set up. Just

press the top there. Are you on your honeymoon?

Oh, finally.

I knew in the seventh grade it just took him ten years to ask.

Excuse me, miss. Is this you?

Uh, no.

We are so excited to be going to London. We were going to go to Paris, but my

friend Sue Ellen just went to Paris and we didn't want to come home with all the

same stories.

Oh, lovely.

Absolutely lovely.

Greg is a very lucky man.

Your father saw him eyeing this house on Asher near the elementary school.

We should really try the other necklace again.

Perhaps just a bit more room. Kate, does it fit?

We considered basting the hem, but concern yourself, sweetheart.

If your sister cared how her dress looked, she would have flown in for the

fitting. Oh, I'm sure you guessed perfectly, Mother. Well, I had to,

didn't I?

You're still not changed?

I had them in the veil. What? What did you do to it? I didn't do anything to

it. It just tore a little bit. Kate, stop.

Just stop.

Get dressed.

I'll tell Greg we need a few more minutes.

Are you all right?

Yeah.

It's just nerves, I guess.

I can't seem to stop shaking.

You look beautiful, so just enjoy it. Can I get you anything?

Could you get me some water? Yeah, of course.

I'll be right back.

I traveled for 36 hours straight, but I got here. And still you couldn't manage

the time to change out of that costume.

I am proud of my uniform.

Do you know what we get to do? You made it clear you don't care what I think of

what you do. Go ahead, gallivant around the world if you like, but don't use

your sister's special day. Oh, this isn't Laura's special day, this is

yours. Because Laura hasn't made a decision for herself her whole life.

Laura?

Laura, what happened? Did you faint?

Has she eaten this morning? Shh. It's nerves.

Just smile through it, dear. Mother.

Shh. I'll get a sedative. I don't think that's... Not now.

Do you want me to open the window?

I don't want to do it. Okay, sweetheart.

I don't want to do this. Just breathe. I don't want to do this. Just breathe.

You're all right.

I don't want to do this. Okay, do what?

Merry break?

It's too... It's too late. No, no, no. No, it's not too late. I don't want to

do it. I don't want to do it. But everyone's already here. Then we'll

leave. They can all have a party without us.

Mother Lord listen to me.

You need to decide right now because this is your life.

What do you want to do with it?

Where are we going? I have a week.

I'll take you anywhere you want to go, anything you want to see. I want to see

the world.

I love that plan. Hey, you can show it to me.

I'll become a Pan Am tourist.

I'm sorry.

I didn't know you'd be on this flight.

What a coincidence.

I didn't know you were married.

I thought you understood.

Understood what?

I'm your mistress?

No.

Colette, I just need a little time. I didn't plan for this.

What was your plan, Mr. Stanton?

Believe me, when we met, I didn't expect... Now, Daddy?

It's a long flight, buddy.

He wants to see the cockpit.

Well, we can do that right now, okay?

Come on.

Must be catching...

I got it.

You got it.

Everybody's got it.

Must be catching.

Ooh, it's love.

Birds in a tree.

Man, they got it.

Fish in the sea.

They got it.

Must be catching, ooh, it's love.

No need to worry.

It started with Adam.

He looked at Eve.

Man, she had him.

Must be catching, ooh, it's love.

Fish in the sea.

They got it Must be catchin'

Ooh, it's love Long flight Must be catchin'

Bridget!

It's a motorbike now.

Talk the salesman to let me take her out for the day. With your stellar Italian?

That and the Americano dollar.

Who's that?

Lost tourist.

In need of direction.

Good.

I need directions to Tivoli.

I... I can't. I...

I promised Kate I'd meet her for lunch.

So tell her you got rerouted.

Well, can you wait?

Not my specialty.

I'll save you for dessert.

Come and find me.

See you soon.

No, community service, the 4-H club?

My sister was the beauty queen. Well, then somebody got something backwards.

You'd really have to see her.

Oh, I don't need to.

You found a place? Oh, yes. They had a table waiting for us.

And your friend? Oh, um, this is... I'm sorry, I didn't catch your name.

Richard.

Richard Parks.

Bridget Pierce.

She came to my rescue. My translation book was failing me.

A yank. He's hopelessly lost, I'm afraid.

Sit down. I can't, I'm sorry.

I just didn't want you to be waiting.

They need a purser on the evening flight to Berlin.

Marimani, lui carino.

Forse un pequeno.

Se vediamo in New York. Okay.

Ciao. Ciao, Bridget.

I take it that wasn't your sister?

Oh, no. We fly together.

I'm a Pan Am stewardess. Well, that's my favorite kind of stewardess.

So what do you do for a living, Mr. Parks?

I work for the U.S. government.

Intelligence.

Hard to believe?

No trench coat.

I didn't say I was any good at it.

You, on the other hand, fit the profile perfectly.

Beautiful, well-educated, trilingual.

And I have the perfect cover. Exactly.

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

Wait. How did you know I was trilingual?

No, thank you.

Can I get you anything else?

Ah, yes.

Some peas.

Maggie.

Sir, would you like some caviar?

From where?

Flown in daily from the Caspian Sea.

Absolutely.

Wait. Wait!

So this is my life magazine?

No, I believe yours is in your briefcase.

Can I steal a cup?

All for self.

I'm Ted.

The first officer.

That's right.

What's your name?

Laura. Laura.

Is this your first intercontinental?

Oh, no.

Nope, not this one. I'm just being hospitable.

Consider her restricted airspace.

I'm just helping you girls out, pouring myself some coffee.

You know, for a co-pilot, you spend a lot of time out of the cockpit.

If you need anything, Laura, you let me know.

I almost called home last night.

Did she finally tell Mom and Dad that you followed me into the uniform?

I wrote a letter.

I better hope it gets through for Life magazine.

Miss, um, excuse me.

Can you help me?

Have you seen my glasses? I think I left them in my coat.

Yes, I'll take a look. Ladies and gentlemen, we're hitting a patch of road

there. So for your safety, I'm going to ask you to please return to your seat.

I've got it. I've got it. I'm sorry. I thought you trained for this. I just

started. This is hard for you, Laura.

Nothing is hard for you. You're perfect.

What do you think?

Just get out of my way or you'll not need a lost puppy.

Excuse me, miss?

Yes? I'm sorry, I didn't catch your name.

Colette. Colette. Thank you so much for taking Tommy up to the cockpit.

Oh, it was our pleasure.

He's a very sweet boy.

Could you sit for a moment?

Is that allowed, visiting with the passengers?

Yes.

I can't imagine what it's like to be on your feet for so long.

You get accustomed to it.

I want to ask you where you get your eyelashes.

They look so natural.

No, they are natural.

They're mine.

Darn. I was hoping they were Parisian and I could pick up a pair.

You're blessed.

I'm jealous.

What are you drawing, Tommy?

Oh, last month it was space rockets. This month it's airplanes.

Lovely. You're an artist.

Miss, could I have another martini, please?

John, don't drive her off. No, not at all.

My pleasure.

Clipper 22, Gandor Oceana. Gandor Oceana, Clipper 22, go ahead.

Pan Am Operations Desk, Buster Relay Response.

Your missing stewardess resigned from the London office.

They don't mean Bridget, do they? Do you copy, Clipper 22?

Uh, Roger, Gander, Oceana, Clipper 22.

Thanks for passing that along. Over.

Bridget loves Pan Am.

She wouldn't quit. I never trust a radio. They once lost track of me for

three weeks in Brazil.

Unless... What?

She'd have to quit. If she got married...

Uh, who?

What, Bridget? Oh, Dean, the whole company knows about you two.

I didn't know. Everybody but Sanjeev knows about you two.

Did you get engaged?

Ah, you son of a bitch!

Congratulations.

If you're engaged, why is she in London?

Oh, who knows where that woman ever is? She barely made it on the plane in Cuba.

She was in Cuba. We all were. Flew out the last DC-6 full of released Bay of

Pigs prisoners for Uncle Sam.

Playing with the mutiny?

Alright, it wasn't a mutiny.

some free prisoners.

You didn't say we'd have to leave the plane.

Let's get off the ground before someone changes their mind.

Hey,

get on!

We're wheels up in ten!

You don't have any luggage, huh? Where's the State Department?

I thought they were supposed to be organizing this. Organize the Bay of

Pigs? I'd rather they just take Castro's ransom. Fuck! He did try to invade his

country. His country? Whose country is it?

Castro's never going to be able to hold on to it. Come on!

I want a baggie.

Let's get out of here.

Bridge. Number four, fuel boost pump off.

Check. Pump off.

All engines stabilized at a thousand RPMs.

Let's get the hell out of here. Cabin secured?

We don't have Bridget.

Well, where is she? She's not on the plane. I didn't see her outside.

Captain, you're going to have to kill the engine. No, no, no. I have a mission

and a plane full of people I'm responsible for. No, you can't leave

without your crew. We finally have clearance now. We're leaving.

Not without her, you're not. I'm not going to get stuck in Cuba.

Dean, I swear to God, I will take off without you.

Move!

Maggie, tell these people we're taking off in one minute. We're getting out of

here. And do not let him close this door.

No, no, no.

Piloto. Piloto.

We almost forgot you. You're always disappearing on me. I always come back.

Then good. Promise.

Marry me.

What? You heard me.

You're asking me now?

I just decided now.

And say yes later.

Bless you. Bless you.

Ladies and gentlemen, we're beginning our descent to the London Heathrow

Airport, where the local time is approximately 8.05.

My newlyweds want a bottle of champagne to take with them. Do we do that?

Sometimes, if they're nice.

They're certainly nice to each other.

Kate,

I never wanted to be a burden to you. I will ask to get reassigned. Laura, I'm

sorry. It's not that I don't want you here.

I meant you ran away from home for a reason.

I'd like to know when you were there to come home, too.

Wait.

Hold on.

Ladies and gentlemen, in honor of this Jet Clipper's inaugural flight, by

random selection, we'd like to offer the passenger in 3D a bottle of champagne.

Please, give him a round of applause.

Here you are, sir.

Compliments of Can-Am. No, thank you.

All right.

Wait.

Is this you?

Yes.

I thought these were models, no?

Well, I just graduated from stewardess school, and I was crossing the street to

go call my sister.

I hardly remember the photographer. I was just... happy.

I guess I made a good picture.

Have a good evening. Welcome to London.

Welcome. Thank you.

Stay dry.

Have a good evening.

Welcome to London. Thank you, ladies.

Welcome to London.

Welcome to London.

Thank you again. My pleasure. Thank you. Have a wonderful trip.

You still love surprises.

Only the good ones.

I'm so sorry. I forgot my purse.

I'll get it for you.

Thank you for flying with Pan Am.

Here.

Thank you.

Tummy's drying.

No, keep that. I want you to have it.

Put it on your refrigerator to help remind you not to sleep with other

women's husbands.

There are so many fabulous faraway places to see, such as

Mexico, Sweden, Hawaii, Japan, and Capri.

There are so many exciting and wonderful places, mountains and jungles and desert

oases. Pleasant as home is, it isn't what Rome is, so why stay there when

there are so many fabulous faraway places to see?

You're going to be great at this.

Excuse me. Could you, uh... Could you place a

local call for me?

Bridget Pierce.

Bridget Pierce. Certainly, sir.

I'll patch it through to the house, ma'am. Great. Thank you.

Very dramatic.

Is that my yes?

Hello?

Bridget.

Eventful flight?

You're late.

You're British.

Keen powers of perception.

Give it a moment.

You'll catch up.

I take it you weren't detained at customs.

Roger Anderson, MI6.

I'll be one of your London contacts.

The passport.

One of many.

Didn't think we'd throw you into the field without a test now, did you?

You passed, by the way.

Barely.

You walked out with it, didn't you?

No matter. We were testing mindset, we were testing will.

Your real assignments might, in fact, be easier.

Most all foreign diplomats and businessmen, persons posing as such, fly

pan out.

You'll be expected to keep your eyes and ears open and communicate back to us.

Sometimes you'll function as a courier.

Bridget?

Bridget?

You must use discretion at all times. Make no mistake, we call it a cold war

for a reason.

I understand.

I certainly hope that you do.

Mr. Anderson, people have underestimated me my entire life.

And they've been wrong.

Yes, well, we'll see if you live up to your recommendation.

Wait, it was Bridget, wasn't it?

Bridget arranged that meeting with Richard in Rome.

She had an eye for talent.

Had?

Am I her replacement?

We have great hopes for you.

I think I like tea briefing.

Yes, it's unofficial, but mandatory. Yeah.

Tomorrow, another plane takes off to someplace new.

Vanished, today's mistakes.

Their only trace, that's more wisdom.

I think I understand you better in French.

Is that the British edition?

Oh, no.

Well, I had to get my own copy.

Another continent? I can't get away from it.

Why would you want to?

I'm not that picture. I can never live up to that.

Because it's not you.

It is the promise of you.

This is all of us.

Face it, if Bridget were predictable, you would eventually lose interest.

I've hit on enough of these girls to know that they're not like normal women.

They're blah. I don't know. They're mutations.

I think I know where you're going wrong there, Ace. Oh, I mean that as a

compliment. You think the first man to crawl the primordial ooze knew he was

different? No.

He just had an impulse that there was more to life than primordial ooze.

Is this you trying to make me feel better? Uh,

see that table over there?

That is natural selection at work, my friend. They don't know that they're a

new breed of woman. They just had an impulse.

To take flight.

So don't try and ground him.

That was a tricky approach tonight.

Hell of a landing.

Captain.

I appreciate that.

It's the only time you're ever gonna hear it.

I got it.

Take two more, please.

See you next time.
