(propeller whirring)

- Sure wish I could wiggle mine like that for the misses.

Yes, sir.

Market sure is slow these days.

From your admirer at Americard again.

Mm, that German coffee of yours is a real wake-up call.

Sure gets my old pump going.

That's young people for you.

First he wants to save it and now he wants me

to buy him something.

(jaunty piano music)

I wanna deposit this in my account

to cover the interest on the loan.

- [Bank Officer] 100, 200, 300, 400, 500, 600.

- Mmm, still warm.

- Have a nice day, Rosalie.

The old girl,

the old girl's doing just great now, just great.

She's been transformed.

- [Darrell] Hi lovers.

- [Rosalie] Hi Darrell. - [Ray] Hi Darrell.

(clinking)

- I just talked to my father on the phone.

We're flying first class after all.

I talked him into it, the old penny pincher.

He'll never learn that my mother

wants nothing but the best.

I'll take it straight to the bank.

Think of the interest.

Take it easy, Liebling.

- You too, Rosalie.

(high heels clicking)

- [Rosalie] What time is it?

That's okay.

(siren blaring)

How was school?

- [Daughter] They gave us the check back, Mom.

(speaking foreign language)

Uh-huh, Mrs. Crockett said it bounced.

- It bounced.

- No problem, they'll get another one.

Take it easy, ladies.

Schnucki's coming at five.

I'm on my way to Vespers.

(propeller whirring)

(turkeys gobbling)

(engine revving)

Bless me Father for I have sinned.

My last confession was yesterday.

- [Priest] Is that a new perfume again, Rosalie?

- [Rosalie] Yes, Father.

- It's stealing, you know it.

- I'm just taking my percentage.

It's like a little present.

- [Priest] People give presents.

- Not that manager.

- You must have dozens of them.

- I use them all.

I love nice fragrances.

- Rosalie, it's not enough just to confess everything.

You have to be sorry, truly sorry,

and want to improve yourself.

- [Rosalie] Yes, Father.

- All right, for your penance, say three Hail Marys.

- [Rosalie] Father? - Yes?

- [Rosalie] I falsified a document.

- [Priest] Another check?

- Yes, Father.

- [Priest] Do you always have to eat that fancy food?

From what Sam Arbuckle at the supermarket tells me,

you're putting up.

- Schnucki is going to be a gourmet chef.

He has to practice.

(ethnic German music)

- Is my car ready yet?

- You could say hello.

- Hi, Mom.

- Hi, Barbara.

No it's not.

- You didn't sell it did you?

- No, not exactly.

- Mom.

- [Rosalie] You are getting the latest model.

- When?

- Very soon, dear.

- [Barbara] When, Mom?

- And just think, they gave you a good

trade-in price, in cash.

- Someday, I'm gonna have you arrested.

(playful music)

- Hi, Mom.

Hi, Barbara.

- [Rosalie] Hi, Herzi.

(playful music)

(canoe clattering)

- Well, that's the end of the gourmet Delatte

multi-practical chef blender.

Hi, mom.

- And it looked so good on TV.

(can clattering)

- Hi, mom.

- Hey, Schatzi.

- You know what?

I got my hair cut in Little Rock

and she just followed me home.

- Hi.

- This is April.

- [Rosalie] Come on in, dinner's almost ready.

- What kind of car is that?

- Oh, that's my, my new old-timer.

- Where'd you get the money?

- Your car's nice too, Barbara.

- Was nice.

Cut it out, stop taking pictures.

- I just wanted to ask you what you want for your birthday.

(shoes clicking) (door slamming)

- I can tell you.

I can tell you exactly what I want.

I want a PC.

- [Rosalie] What's that?

- A personal computer, Mother dear, but not just some toy.

I want a PC 276X, exactly like the one I have at the mill.

Does that answer your question?

(door slamming)

(slamming) (chair scraping)

- Hi, baby.

- Hi, Liebling. - Hi, Liebling.

- Hi, Schnucki.

- Hi, Liebling.

- Hi, Herzi.

- Hi, Liebling.

- What are all these weird names?

I thought you said your name was.

- Nicknames.

My mom loves nicknames.

- What do you call your pa?

- Liebling.

- Liebling?

- It means darling.

- Sure.

- Hi, Schatzi.

- Hi, Liebling.

This is April. - Hi.

- Hi, Rosalie.

- Hey, Liebling.

- So!

- Y'all eat like this every night?

- You bet.

- [Rosalie] Whose turn is it?

- Barbara's.

- Hi, Barbara.

- Hi, Daddy.

- It's your turn.

Okay, then Schatzi.

(clicking)

(speaking foreign language)

- Amen.

- [Family] Amen.

- Is that Swedish?

- [Schatzi] German.

(spoons clattering)

- Pentecostal?

- Catholic.

- Oh, what's the difference?

- Confession.

- Huh?

- You admit your sins and they are not sins anymore.

(chair scraping)

- That was a snail soup with tarragon

and creme fraiche and?

- And a touch of cognac.

- [Schnucki] Got it.

(cheering) (applauding)

- Snails, really?

(beeping)

- [Rosalie] Where are you from, April?

- Little Rock.

- How much did it cost?

- I'm from Baturtz.

That's a very pretty town in Bavaria, West Germany.

- How'd you get here in Arkansas?

- I'm a peacetime war bride and Ray was

an Army scout pilot in my hometown.

We fell in love.

- And we have been ever since.

(beeping)

- [April] But I don't get it.

Why can't he tell anybody else?

- Who, oh the priest?

It's called the secret of the confessional.

- [April] Oh, you mean like at the doctor's?

- [Schatzi] Right, same principle.

- Well, what if he did anyway?

- [Schatzi] The pope would fire him.

- [Schnucki] This is a guinea hen pate

with a splash of Cumberland sauce.

- Homemade Cumberland sauce.

(majestic music)

(applauding)

- Wait, wait, wait.

Do it again.

- Tell me how much.

- Come on Barbara, only $9,000.

(napkin slapping)

(timer ringing)

- Thanks.

- It's catfish. - Catfish.

- This is an Arkansas white river catfish

with a sorrel sauce and saffron.

- And brown rice, don't forget the rice.

- Wait, wait.

(clinking glass)

Wait a second.

The audience is listening.

(engine rumbling)

Ah, I always love that last blub the best.

What'd ya think of that?

Dolby stereo.

I taped it today.

Can't tell the old girl's age at all now.

I really got her back in shape.

It was a lot of hard work, but, it was a lot,

a lot of fun, too.

(door creaking)

- Can I have some ketchup please?

- Hi, everybody.

- Kindi, hello.

How's everything in Germany, in Bavaria?

- What are you doing back so early? Long time no see.

- [Kindi] We stopped over in New York

and came straight through.

- Hey, are you hungry?

- [Kindi] Yes!

- Hey, man, you seen my '57 Chevy?

'57!

- Dad.

- We expected you tomorrow, didn't we?

(excitedly shouting)

(screaming)

- Voila!

(applauding)

- Hey, Mom, Mom. (timer beeping)

I gotta show you something.

(speaking foreign language)

Hey, take a look, Bavaria.

- [Schatzi] Did you get them waitresses

at the beer garden to talk?

- Schnucki, come on in.

- [Schnucki] Yeah.

- Mom.

(prideful music)

(speaking foreign language)

Smiling.

(cowbells ringing)

(crunching)

(laughing)

(timer beeping)

- Come on, please, please.

- All right, oh man.

(speaking foreign language)

(skin slapping)

(cowbells ringing)

(church bell pealing)

- Mm, right.

- To top things off, a Bavarian pudding.

- For a Bavarian soldier.

- With wild berries en saison.

- Thanks Mom.

Still know how?

- Okay, boys.

Okay, boys, no cheating.

Ready?

Daddy.

- I know, I know, I know.

- [Barbara] Go.

- [Family] Kindi, Kindi, Kindi, Kindi, Kindi, Kindi, Kindi.

Liebling, Kindi, Kindi, Kindi, Liebling, Liebling, Liebling.

(chuckling)

- [Announcer] Introducing Ambervision, the most amazing

breakthrough in vision technology

since glasses were invented.

- Why y'all only watching the commercials?

- Because they're the best.

- I can't believe my own eyes.

They're amazing.

- [Announcer] Ambervision blocks 100%

of the ultraviolet light.

- How boring, really.

Will you take me home now?

- You wanna drive to Monterey?

- Bye.

- Oh, I can't believe the difference.

- Oh, I can't believe the difference.

- I can't believe the difference.

(thrilling music)

- Look, this is what savings paid for.

That's me tomorrow.

Whoo!

- Nature at her worst is always frightening.

Should you find yourself face to face with this situation,

would you be prepared?

- You would if you were here inside

a fiberglass storm shelter that was stronger

- Than reinforced concrete.

- [Kindi] No.

- [Rosalie] Stop it.

- [Kindi] No.

- Are you crazy or what?

- I don't believe this.

My own mother wipes out my bank account.

- [Rosalie] I did it only for you.

It was such a wonderful opportunity.

- [Announcer] Tornado Shelters of Clinton has the newest,

most innovative shelters available.

- Eight to 10 adults can fit comfortably inside.

- 50, 100, 200, $267.

Interest, cash.

(feet clopping)

- You know, you can tape me working tomorrow.

Nah.

- How much do you think the old house

is worth in that location?

- The tank's almost empty.

She could do a loop now right in front of the camera.

- The house inherited, how much is it worth?

- What?

Mary Beth lives in it.

- That's not what I meant.

- Half of it belongs to her.

- Probably should work for you.

Capital that isn't being used is a dead duck.

- If you stood right next to the flagman.

(bluesy music)

So.

So good.

Just like flying.

Like flying.

- [Rosalie] Go to Mary Beth tomorrow.

Little additional income.

I'm such a noisy lady.

- [Ray] Oh, Rosalie.

- [Rosalie] Come with me, Ray.

- [Ray] Oh, Rose.

- [Rosalie] Oh, Ray.

(bluesy harmonica music)

(propeller whirring)

(high heels clattering)

(propeller whirring)

- Up already?

(liquid splashing)

Exciting vacation, huh?

- Seems like.

- Morning.

Oh, the soldier's back home on leave.

Well, good morning.

- Ah.

- [Rosalie] That's okay, Kindi.

Why don't you go back to bed?

- I think I'll make myself some eggs.

(beeping)

- Rosalie, three John Hancocks this morning.

Whole world is in debt some way or another.

- Whoever can afford to pay interest can afford to be.

- Mmm, that doesn't get rid of the debt.

- That's what the banks want,

as long as the interest gets paid.

(paper ripping)

What?

I thought next Wednesday.

Listen, I have seven children under 15.

The van?

No, not the van.

Then come and pick it up.

It only works on TV anyway.

Our new home?

Who?

The bank?

Cut off our phone?

I, I send you a check next week.

Okay, okay okay.

I come down and pay today.

(gravel grinding)

(propeller whirring)

Don't let me bother you, Burt.

Let's see, if he flies eight hours today,

that ought to make this week.

- Nope, no way.

(radio static buzzes)

No more entire week's salary in advance.

(radio static buzzes)

Nothing personal.

They want it stopped, Farmers' that is.

(chair creaking)

The co-op?

I'm not supposed to.

- Whatever you say, Burt.

(floor creaking)

You were always a real friend.

Thanks all the same.

Telling a guy like you how to do his job.

- How much?

- Not much.

(door creaking)

- [Burt] Well?

- I leave it up to you.

(floor creaking)

- Let me sign it first.

(pen scribbling)

- Thanks, Burt.

Have a nice day.

- Hey, this is Ray's signature.

- Just seeing if you're still on your toes.

- It's a good thing I'm not the sheriff.

(dismal music)

- [Rosalie] Hi, Liebling.

- [Ray] Hey, Rosalie.

- [Rosalie] I was just horsing around with Burt.

(heels clicking)

- [Ray] Glad you got here.

- Know what I did?

- [Ray] What?

- I imitated your signature, just for fun.

- [Ray] Okay, let's do it.

- [Rosalie] What?

- [Ray] You said you wanted to film me on video.

- [Rosalie] Sorry, Liebling, some other time.

- Okay, some other time.

- What time is it?

(umbrella poofing)

Can't you tell time anymore?

- Sure I can.

It's almost nine.

(siren blaring)

- [Male Teller] Hi, Rosalie.

- [Female Teller] Good morning, Rosalie.

- [Male Worker] Hi, Rosalie.

- [Female Worker] Morning, Rosalie.

- Morning, Shawn.

- I'm glad that you came by directly, Mrs. Greenspace.

Burt from Farmers' Flight Service just called.

He forgot to write down the number of the check.

- Cash as usual?

I'm Schatzi.

- Kissy, Vati.

- Kissy, Poppy.

(speaking foreign language)

(alarm dinging)

- Kissy.

(speaking foreign language)

(traffic zooming)

- Careful, Grandma.

I can understand you.

- What?

I have not said anything.

- You said,

"what an ugly place."

Well, we don't like that.

- I was sitting now 15 hours in the flyer,

so it will be allowed to say my honest opinion.

(giggling)

(speaking foreign language)

(wheels skidding)

(dog barking)

(door clicking)

- I be right back.

(turkeys gobbling)

I didn't plan it, Father, but then when Burt forgot

to fill in the amount in words.

- I don't get it.

Ray's almost always up there, buzzing around.

He must make a bundle.

- I cash in flow, I cash out flow.

- That's just it, that you always blow it right away.

- Blow it, Father?

I pay interest.

Interest, interest, and more interest,

on my 37 credit cards, on the mortgage,

on all the loans, and all the installments.

A check doesn't last too long.

- Rosalie, I just don't want to have to visit you

in jail the next time, that's all.

- Yes, yes, we are the ones who go to jail, and why?

Because we are good citizens and do exactly

what the government wants of us.

We are the ones who buy the goods that are produced.

Read the Wall Street Journal every now and then, Father.

- I read the Bible, my daughter.

- Even the Vatican can't pay it's bills.

- Well, nobody's perfect.

(turkeys gobbling)

- And all these businessmen whose companies go bankrupt.

A little later, they have even better jobs,

and I, if I go bankrupt I go to jail.

- Life's not fair.

Heaven ought to rain millions on you.

- Yes, Father, it ought to.

(mimics airplane zooming)

I'm joking.

- [Grandma] Where are you working?

- [Schnucki] At the airport hotel in Little Rock.

- How do you call this meat?

- Prime rib.

(speaking foreign language)

(nervous clicking)

- Stop it.

It makes me nervous.

(speaking foreign language)

(nervous clicking)

(mimics airplane humming)

- Grandma?

- For me, not.

I must take care of my figure,

(nervous clicking)

but you, vati, eat.

(speaking foreign language)

(mimics airplane humming)

Right, look here.

(tapping)

- Dad?

- Ray, look, you're the pilot.

Is that another way to here?

(nervous clicking)

I said stop this.

17 hours in the air, I'm enough shaked.

(speaking foreign language)

The whole time it was like this,

like this. (stamping)

After 19 hours flying.

- What's the matter?

Do you need glasses?

- No, there's no light in here is all.

- Two or three lights, so we can see this guy cannot read.

- Mutti, mutti, that's enough.

- We always says the truth into our family.

Everybody knows that the reads are a little bit behind.

(nervous clicking)

I say as a good in the household.

Skinny lady who likes to wash dishes.

- The dishwasher does that.

(nervous clicking)

(slapping) (glass rattling)

- Good, good family.

(paper slapping) (chair scraping)

(nervous clicking)

(harrowing music)

- My eyes, my eyes.

I can't.

- [Rosalie] What's a matter?

(screaming)

- Damn it.

Rosalie, my eyes.

I think I'm going blind.

- Wake up.

You are still dreaming.

- No, no it's been happening for a while.

Now, my eyes are getting worse and worse.

A pilot with no eyes.

(bed shuffling)

- [Grandma] Rosa? (knocking)

Rosa?

- [Rosalie] Mutti?

- The tickets, back?

- [Rosalie] Yeah.

- And the passports?

- I have them too.

(speaking foreign language)

(propeller whirring)

(speaking foreign language)

In English, Mutti.

You have to take this boy across country tour.

- Real nice from your husband, greeting me.

- You don't have to wave, he can't see you.

Kindi, you show your grandparents town.

- [Kindi] Morning Grandma, morning Grandpa.

- [Grandma] Morning.

- Sorry, here, maybe tomorrow.

(speaking foreign language)

- [Christian] Have a nice day, ma'am, sir.

- I can tell you exactly what I want.

I want a PC.

- That, what (speaking foreign language)?

- Get dressed, Mutti.

- What has she said?

(speaking foreign language)

- [Kindi] Wanna go to the Grand Prairie Museum?

They have a waterfowl, even a duckling.

- [Theodore] Ah, ducks?

- I want a PC.

- [Rosalie] What's that?

- Personal computer, mother dear, and not just some toy.

I want a PC 276X, exactly like the one I have at the mill.

- How much?

$11,000?

With a modem and a printer.

(mischievous music)

How much is it in installments?

(birds honking)

- As you know, we're here in the heart of

the Grand Prairie, the rice and duck capital of the world.

As soon as harvest is over with, expect to see

the skies darken with millions of ducks

who are flying overhead looking for the flooded rice fields

in search of food.

We're going to take you on a simulated duck hunt now.

Shh, it's cold, so be quiet and listen, shh.

(speaking foreign language)

Just listen.

- My husband is a specialist.

- And now we're going to hear the peep, peep, peep, quack

of the green-winged teal.

(ducks quacking)

- He's a forest inspector in Bavaria.

- And now.

- [Rosalie] The computer costs $11,500,

and since things are tight with us right now, I.

- You.

- [Rosalie] I, I borrowed the tickets from my parents.

- Go on.

- [Rosalie] Turned them in for a refund.

- What, half of two round trips?

- [Rosalie] First class.

(yodeling)

- [Ray] Needs more fire.

- [Kindi] No.

- [Ray] Yeah, it needs more fire.

- [Kindi] No.

- [Ray] Yes, it does.

Yes, it does.

(stamping feet)

(duck call honking)

- [Schnucki] How's the fire?

- [Ray] Oh, it's fine.

I got it.

- Mom! - Must you always to shout?

- [Rosalie] Here.

- I need a $10 for the volleyball tournament.

- Oh, Mordrid, Modrid.

- [Schatzi] Hi, Grandma.

- No, no, no, no, no, sit down, here, stay.

I want you to hear something.

(background giggling)

(engine revving)

How old do you think the old girl is?

25, 25 years old.

(engine revving)

Come on, I wanna show you something.

(crickets chirping)

Come on, come on.

Get your jacket.

Your jacket, get your jacket.

(engine spluttering)

(ducks quacking)

(curious music)

There's nothin' like it.

Not even all pilots know how to even enjoy it.

Really love it.

People talk about surfin' and skiin' and highdivin'.

Forget it, forget everything else you've ever done.

- [Theodore] Yeah, yeah.

- It's too, too bad I can't take you up there with me,

but there's no room.

(mysterious music)

Okay.

(cane tapping)

Sit there, the outside almost.

It's like there was a bird with just a few ribs and feathers

and dive down through the clouds.

There the farmers are with their flags and heaven help you

if you're a few inches off.

Yes sir, heaven help you.

That farmer calls up the co-op,

"that bastard gassed my potatoes."

(laughing)

You gotta be crazy to do it, you know what I mean?

No.

- No?

- How could you?

(dogs yelping)

You gotta be up there to know, how much to compensate

when you got a little breeze from the southwest shakin' ya

and giving you somethin' like a little massage.

(clattering)

(wing clunking)

Did you know every single colleague flies different?

You don't believe that?

Yes sir, it's true.

It all depends on the kind of person you are.

No two people fly exactly the same way.

I don't care what anybody tells you,

and I tell you this about the kind of flying I do, Theodore.

(slapping back)

It takes all your energy, too long in the sack,

if you know what I mean, and you're off the whole next day,

your concentration and your daughter, my sweet maid.

(squawking)

- When your grandparents are gone,

you can set it up in your room.

- No, I like it here.

I still can't believe it.

(clicking on keyboard)

- Rosa.

(knocking on door)

Rosa.

You expect me to?

Rosa, I go shopping.

(quirky horn music)

(computer beeping)

- Mom, mom, there's nothing, no groceries.

You didn't go shopping?

(tapping keys)

Mom?

(turkeys gobbling)

(quirky horn music)

(paper riffling)

- How did you do that?

- With my password.

- With one word, you can bring your job here?

- Mmhmm.

- Then you know everything that happens in the mill?

- No, my password's only for my work area.

- What is your password?

- Oh, no, it's a secret.

- Did your boss give it to you?

- No, you pick it out yourself,

something that's easy for you to remember.

- A personally secret word.

Want me to guess?

Liebling?

- How did you figure it out?

- Simple.

He's our darling, right?

(dogs barking) (birds squeaking)

(nervous tapping)

(duck call quacking)

(propeller whirring)

(dishes clattering)

- What's troubling you?

- [Rosalie] I've never felt guilty before.

- For God's sake, Rosalie.

What have you done now?

(turkeys gobbling)

- I didn't go shopping.

- But, that's not a sin.

- [Rosalie] I let my family down.

A house without groceries.

- Come on, nobody starved to death.

So what did they eat?

- I think it was pizza.

(yodeling)

(door creaking)

- A nice Americans, very friendly people.

- Yes, ma'am.

I need a few signatures, please.

- My mother can sign them.

- [Grandma] What is this always?

- Just a little bills.

- What exactly is a password?

- [Rosalie] A code.

- But it's secret.

- It's supposed to be, but if you know

a little bit about people.

- Tell me.

- Okay, you know Victor Hoviland?

- Yeah, from the mill.

- Right, and he has a dog.

- A Chow with a blue tongue.

- And what does he call his dog?

- Chow Chow!

- See, and that's Victor Hoviland's password.

(computer beeping)

If you know that, and you know how to use

a computer a little, you know everything

there is to know about the mill.

- I don't get it.

What does Victor Hoviland do for the mill anyway?

- He's the top supervisor of the data processing division.

(yodeling)

(propeller whirring)

(speaking foreign language)

- Cash.

- Mom.

(speaking foreign language)

- Account.

- Mom.

Don't you even want to sign it?

(speaking foreign language)

- That's like, that's like going into the office

of the managing director of the mill

and looking in his files.

- And that's what's so much fun.

Today I took a look at the balance sheets.

The log practices there are very old-fashioned.

I gave them a few tips.

- Tips?

But we've had it if you talked to them.

- Father, don't forget that all of this only takes place

on the monitors of our computers.

- Ah, yes, of course.

(turkeys gobbling)

- There is a nice line called Mailbox.

- Mailbox.

- I can call it, leave messages, tips, whatever.

I'll just say hello.

- Ah.

(speaking foreign language)

(smooches)

- Mom, I just wanted to say that I've had myself

put on the evening shift.

- My daughter, you may know that there is also

the possibility of a face-to-face confession.

(cars honking)

(chairs rattling)

I'm asking myself is what you're doing is sinful.

- And what do you think, Father?

- Well, there's nothing in the Ten Commandments

about the electronic,

(turkeys gobbling) penetration of.

- Classified data.

- What does your conscience tell you?

- My conscience has never felt so good.

- I've been doing a little reading up

on computers and hackers.

- What are hackers?

- Come on, Rosalie, people go to jail for what you do.

- You mean I'm not the only one?

(overlapped yelling)

(electronic beeping)

(door creaking)

- Mom.

April says, she thinks she's gonna have a baby.

- Oh, nice.

From who?

(speaking foreign language)

(porch clattering)

- Pregnant.

(birds cawing)

- Wait a minute, just slow down.

You must have confused something.

- I swear it, Father.

This Japanese wanted to buy everything,

the whole mill and the entire harvest.

- That's horrible.

Our rice mill, our rice mill?

- So to stop it, I stepped in.

- [Priest] You?

- As a bidder.

- You?

- My company.

I'm from the company, and then I hacked into

some of our banks and that felt a little to the lower side.

- And?

- We managed to solve the problem together.

(sirens blaring)

(somber music)

- But you didn't do all this just out of brotherly love.

- Well, as a kind of commission,

I gave Barbara a slight raise today.

(truck horn honking)

(engine revving)

(depressing music)

- Hey, Ray.

- Morning, Father.

- Real change not seeing you anymore.

What do you do with all that money?

- Rosalie handles the finances.

She's great at housekeeping.

- I know what you mean.

See you Sunday.

(indistinct chattering)

(propeller whirring)

(train crossing dinging)

(cheerful music)

- Everything's okay.

- Huh, what?

Everything? What is it?

- My eyes, a-okay.

- Wonderful, see?

(knob rattling)

- You gonna need all these phones?

- I have to keep up to date.

What was good enough for your major secretary

back in Baturtz, just isn't good enough these days.

- You're not a secretary anymore.

- No, I'm running a family business.

Come here, Liebling.

You do what you do up in the clouds,

and I do what I do with my feet on the ground.

The good thing about us that never has one tried

to tell the other how to live his dreams, right Liebling?

(serene music)

Glad you are back in a good mood.

- Yeah, everything's okay.

Just fatigued.

Don't you wanna film me anymore?

(hangers rattling)

(panels clicking)

(propeller whirring)

- Stop, stop and get our tickets.

- [Rosalie] There's time, Mutti.

I give you your passports.

- I have them.

- [Rosalie] What?

(propeller whirring)

- Wait.

Listen, Rosa, the motor.

I cannot see him anymore.

- Come on, Mutti.

I don't have so much time.

- Ya, ya, you with your computer toy.

This computer thing, (speaking foreign language)

(motors whirring)

(speaking foreign language)

America. (speaking foreign language)

- How did you find it?

(speaking foreign language)

- Oh, the spy mommy, spy mommy.

(speaking foreign language)

- I sold them.

(slapping)

(screaming)

- I totaled it.

I totaled my old girl.

She's a wreck.

I, I read the instruments wrong.

My eyes, my damn eyes.

- [Rosalie] I drive you to the hospital, come on.

(fan rattling) (turkeys gobbling)

(gravel crunching)

(door grinding)

(door creaking)

- Rosalie?

Rosalie?

- [Rosalie] Good morning Christian.

- [Christian] Are you alone?

- [Rosalie] Yes.

- And your parents?

- Seeing the USA.

- Back to the good old days.

- Let's have a cup of coffee.

(high heels clicking)

- You know, this whole thing about money ain't any fun

unless you got someone to talk to about it.

I read an article this morning by a wealthy man, he said,

"If you're $100,000 in debt, that's your problem,

"but if you're a million in debt, it's the bank's."

Not bad, huh?

You know what it mean?

- I.

(door creaking)

Hi, Liebling.

- Rosalie.

- Take it easy, you two.

(door creaking)

- How are you?

What did the doctor say?

How are your eyes?

- You still like me?

(paper ruffling)

I see everything perfectly, everything.

- That's all it was?

- That's all.

- Then everything is okay?

- Well, not quite, Rosalie.

Now I'm just a crash pilot with a pair of reading glasses.

They won't let me fly anymore.

I'm grounded.

(determined music)

- We will see about that.

(heavy breathing)

(determined music)

I have a meeting with the president, Mr. Baker, 3:00.

- What's your name, please?

- Rosalie Whitaker.

- 18th floor, to your right.

Linda will meet you.

- Thank you.

(elevator dings)

Hello.

- I'm Linda.

Please come with me.

(heels clicking)

(determined music)

- Oh, I know it's sentimental.

A real sentimental choice.

Stopping by here.

Thank you.

- Sugar?

- Three.

- I like that.

- [Rosalie] That I take three?

- No, excuse me.

You're just stopping by, but there must be another

financial reason as well?

- Maybe.

You know, my husband's family comes from Little Rock

and whenever we are here, we always think,

"why not open a small account here for us

"that has nothing to do with the company computer?"

(heels clicking)

- How romantic.

What does your company manufacture,

if you don't mind my asking?

- Tiny little things for the Pentagon.

- Yes, of course.

You did say Washington.

Please.

- We have only 73 employees, but they're all

highly specialized, and we don't like to be conspicuous.

- Oh, I understand.

From Washington to the Arkansas River.

- That's what my husband always says.

A little house on the Arkansas River

that no one knows about.

Well, it was nice meeting you.

- But don't you want to?

- Oh, you mean the account?

- We're just plain folk down here.

We don't go through all the to-do like up north.

How much were you thinking?

- A million ought to do.

(knob rattling)

- Let's make it two.

(yodeling)

- I'll think it over.

- Well, and what we don't need won't make us

any money either, am I right?

- We'll see.

Here's my card, I'll be in touch.

- Well, it was a real pleasure meeting you, Mrs. Whitaker.

- Thanks, Ben.

I like your bank.

It has style.

- Well, I'm glad you think so, Rosalie.

Next time you're in town, you must let me take you

to the New Capitol for dinner.

(high heels shuffling)

(door clicking)

- Two million dollars?

Two million dollars?

(turkeys gobbling)

- The banks always take us for a ride legally,

but now I take them for a ride my way.

(blinds riffling)

(tape clicking)

(engine rumbling)

(singing in foreign language)

(clapping)

(propeller whirring)

- [Rosalie] She's yours.

- Really?

- Now I'm your old girl, and she's the young one.

Now you don't have to work for anybody else.

We're a company, and we are not more or less in debt

than everybody else.

Father, I've been doing a lot of thinking.

(turkeys gobbling)

I've given the whole business careful consideration

and I've made the following decision.

(turkeys gobbling)

- Yes?

- I'm going Martineschian.

- You're what?

- Just think, helping people beat the system that way.
