00:00:58 WOMAN 2:
00:00:59 REPORTER: Miss Earhart, do you really
00:01:02 NEWSCASTER: She will fly
00:01:04 24,902 miles, to travel across
00:01:09 crossing Africa, over India...
00:01:11 After this 'round-the-world flight,
00:01:14 are you gonna give up long-distance flying?
00:01:16 Not while there's still life left in me.
00:01:18 (CHUCKLING) I fly for the fun of it.
00:01:23 WOMAN 1: Good luck!
00:01:25 REPORTER: All right, give us a big smile!
00:01:26 WOMAN 2: We love you, Amelia!
00:01:28 Thank you. That's enough.
00:02:55 Mr. Balfour, come in, over.
00:02:58 Mr. Putnam.
00:03:00 The headwinds were stronger
00:03:03 I recalculated the fuel.
00:03:09 9%.
00:03:59 AMELIA: When I saw that little plane,
00:04:01 it lifted me above the Kansas prairie.
00:04:09 I had to fly.
00:04:19 My daddy had the wanderlust.
00:04:31 Flying lets me move in 3 dimensions.
00:04:47 Who wants a life imprisoned in safety?
00:04:55 SECRETARY: Miss Earhart?
00:05:06 GEORGE: Send the papers over
00:05:09 -Miss Earhart?
00:05:12 Please, sit.
00:05:17 I'm told you want to fly
00:05:20 -I do.
00:05:23 -Why?
00:05:27 Why does a man ride a horse?
00:05:34 Because he wants to, I guess.
00:05:38 3 women have died trying.
00:05:40 2 others have escaped with their lives.
00:05:42 If you do make it, you will be the first,
00:05:46 which is the real attraction
00:05:50 Always nice to know
00:05:54 The plane was bought from
00:05:58 who's asked to find an American.
00:06:01 Educated, well-spoken, a flier
00:06:05 and preferably physically attractive.
00:06:08 Why would that matter?
00:06:09 Because she wants
00:06:12 And pretty girls command more attention.
00:06:15 Was that your advice?
00:06:17 There'll be a contract for the girl's
00:06:22 Also a book
00:06:26 But all the money
00:06:30 Except for the part that goes to you.
00:06:31 Well, this is America,
00:06:32 and therefore I am obligated to
00:06:36 (LAUGHING)
00:06:42 You have a wonderful laugh, Miss Earhart.
00:06:46 You said she wants a flier.
00:06:49 Don't get your hopes up.
00:06:52 The celebrated Wilmer Stultz will be pilot.
00:06:54 There will be a male co-pilot
00:06:59 The woman will be purely a passenger.
00:07:09 Take Lindbergh. I published his book
00:07:14 Must be wonderful to actually know him,
00:07:18 Friend? Good God, no.
00:07:20 (SNORTS) Can't stand the man.
00:07:22 He's a stiff-ass, sanctimonious,
00:07:26 Was a bestseller though.
00:07:28 Why would anyone want to read
00:07:32 Because the hook is that they're gonna
00:07:37 The pilot will sign a contract
00:07:39 saying he's under
00:07:41 It would be your flight.
00:07:42 My fraud, you mean.
00:07:46 A very distasteful word
00:07:50 I don't know, Mr. Putnam.
00:07:51 My dream has always been
00:07:54 but the way you want me to do it is far
00:07:57 Let me be frank.
00:07:59 With your level of flight experience,
00:08:02 anywhere near the group that would
00:08:05 if a woman were to do any flying at all.
00:08:08 Miss Earhart, let me be painfully clear,
00:08:12 I give the orders and you take them.
00:08:14 And if you do as you're told, you'll be a star.
00:08:17 And I will be nearby, a small particle of dust
00:08:20 in your constellation.
00:08:22 Spoken like a gentleman.
00:08:24 Miss Earhart.
00:08:25 Mr. Putnam.
00:08:28 Of course,
00:09:03 What the hell are they?
00:09:05 Oryx!
00:09:09 Look how free they are!
00:09:13 No constraints, no schedules to keep.
00:09:17 For a gal who don't like schedules,
00:09:19 you sure got yourself hooked up
00:09:32 Boys, I'd like to introduce
00:09:37 Say hello to Slim Gordon, your navigator.
00:09:39 How do you do?
00:09:40 And Bill Stultz,
00:09:42 -the best pilot working today.
00:09:44 How much fuel do you lose
00:09:47 Costs us at least 400 gallons.
00:09:50 Well, then why have them?
00:09:51 GEORGE: The owner wants to protect her
00:09:55 But those are decisions I have to make,
00:09:59 They're not making this trip, we are.
00:10:01 But she owns the plane,
00:10:05 Ownership is the trump card.
00:10:09 Sad to say, but dollars put planes in the air.
00:10:11 I wonder if it can keep us up there,
00:10:16 Our job is to figure out
00:10:19 Include the whole engine up here.
00:10:21 The name is Amelia Earhart.
00:10:32 TECHNICIAN: Careful up there, Slim.
00:10:40 GEORGE: They're leaving for Newfoundland.
00:10:42 Yes, they'll be taking off for there
00:10:45 Make sure the reporters are there.
00:10:53 Popping-off letters.
00:10:59 You know, in case.
00:11:04 I'm honored that you would
00:11:06 Who else? If I do pop off, it's your fault.
00:11:11 Pray I make it.
00:11:12 Not much of a prayer man.
00:11:14 Then at least tip your hat
00:11:26 Well,
00:11:29 -see you.
00:11:45 NEWSCASTER ON FILM: It's a short hop
00:11:48 for Amelia Earhart and crew.
00:11:50 Then on to Ireland,
00:11:54 Earhart and top-notch ace
00:11:57 quite a feat once their plane is fully
00:12:33 Seems like we got a situation here,
00:12:37 When you figure it out,
00:12:59 (MEN LAUGHING)
00:13:01 BILL: I don't even know
00:13:05 Here's to Little Miss Earhart,
00:13:43 (BANGING ON DOOR)
00:13:46 (SLEEPILY) What time is it?
00:13:48 It's time to fly.
00:13:49 Get up, get dressed, we're going now.
00:13:52 Where's the weather report?
00:13:57 It's not good enough.
00:13:58 Great.
00:13:59 Either we fly to Ireland
00:14:02 Well, it's not good enough.
00:14:03 It's fine. There's a tailwind all the way.
00:14:06 We'll off-load to 700 gallons,
00:14:08 and the wind will get us to Ireland.
00:14:10 You're dumping fuel? You're serious?
00:14:12 Just as serious as you're hung-over.
00:14:15 Slim, you go now. Get the late weather.
00:14:20 (STAMMERING)
00:14:22 Slim, go. I've got this.
00:14:42 I've loved one person unconditionally, Bill.
00:14:46 He's the most caring and generous
00:14:49 and charming and flat-out
00:14:52 He's my father.
00:14:55 He's a drunk,
00:15:00 Now you get out of that goddamn bed,
00:15:05 or I swear to you, I will.
00:15:12 Good. Slim, start the engines.
00:15:18 This report indicates some degree of risk.
00:15:27 Have a nice flight.
00:15:32 Read tomorrow's papers, Bill!
00:15:46 (REPORTERS CHATTERING)
00:15:51 So, to take off,
00:15:55 (CHUCKLES)
00:15:57 REPORTER: Go get 'em, Amelia!
00:15:58 (PLANE ENGINE STARTING)
00:16:27 Start the clock!
00:16:57 BILL: Let's hope this works!
00:17:13 We're up.
00:17:16 We're up. We're up!
00:17:20 -Good work!
00:17:23 (AMELIA WHOOPS)
00:17:35 AMELIA: The fog comes on little cat feet.
00:17:40 It sits, looking over harbor and city,
00:17:45 and then moves on.
00:17:48 Listen.
00:17:51 The motors are humming sweetly.
00:17:54 And I feel at home.
00:17:59 (FEEDBA CK WARBLING)
00:18:02 You okay?
00:18:04 Be better off if the damn radio
00:18:12 Mr. Putnam! There's a call coming in.
00:18:14 (PHONE RINGING)
00:18:15 Putnam.
00:18:16 MAN: I'm afraid we've lost contact
00:18:20 Keep me informed. Thank you.
00:18:32 We've been flying for 19 hours plus.
00:18:35 How far to land?
00:18:38 Radio is still out.
00:18:39 There's no way to compute wind speed
00:18:42 so God only knows where Ireland is.
00:18:44 There may be an hour of gasoline left.
00:18:48 If we land on the water now,
00:18:52 And a failure!
00:18:56 That's out.
00:19:08 Hold on to something, for Christ's sake!
00:19:13 Slim, go help her.
00:19:17 Hang on! Okay, I'm coming. Hold on.
00:19:24 Got it. Take my hand.
00:19:27 (EXCLAIMING)
00:19:30 -Hang on, Slim!
00:19:33 BILL: You boys all right?

00:19:45 SLIM: Oh, God!

00:22:32 Welcome.
00:22:33 AMELIA: Thank you.
00:22:35 Is it Irish tradition
00:22:38 I couldn't say. This is Wales!

00:23:08 GEORGE: Hello, Dorothy.
00:23:12 Are you going to be
00:23:19 What?
00:23:21 It feels strange.
00:23:22 We haven't had a moment alone.
00:23:25 REPORTER: Miss Earhart, do you
00:23:28 WOMAN 1: We're so proud of you!
00:23:29 WOMAN 2: We love you, Amelia!

00:23:45 Now, this is a list of the shots they want.
00:23:47 GEORGE: Do you have dirt on your face?
00:23:48 I believe you are referring to my freckles.
00:23:50 -They come with the skin.
00:23:55 (SIGHS)
00:24:00 GEORGE: Very heroic. Think Lindbergh.
00:24:07 AMELIA: As I look back on the flight,
00:24:09 I think of 2 questions
00:24:13 "Where are you going next?"
00:24:16 and "What did you wear?"
00:24:25 Lucky Strike endorsement.
00:24:27 I wrote the copy myself.
00:24:29 What does it say?
00:24:33 No, it says that Lucky Strikes were
00:24:36 Which is true. I hid them under the seat.
00:24:38 True, maybe, but misleading.
00:24:43 So that Bill and Slim get paid.

00:25:35 You do have a dress to change into, I hope.
00:25:37 -Well, it's just a college class, George.
00:25:40 No. You have to take
00:25:43 You never know what it might lead to.

00:25:52 What was that for?
00:25:53 Good luck?
00:25:55 What happened to tipping your hat
00:25:58 Oh, I'm afraid I'm way beyond that now,
00:26:03 I think I like it.
00:26:13 What did your mother say when she knew
00:26:16 Well, she sent a telegram
00:26:20 and then she said the next time
00:26:23 she wants to sit beside me in the cockpit.

00:26:27 How did it feel to fly over the ocean?
00:26:30 Were you scared?
00:26:33 When I looked down at the sea,
00:26:37 it seemed much like the sky to me.
00:26:40 As if the sky and the sea were the same.
00:26:43 I felt much as I do when I'm

00:30:48 Yes.
00:30:50 You enjoying your stay here in Rye?
00:30:52 I must say, I'm a bit out of my element.
00:30:55 The distance between this world
00:30:57 is as great as the distance

00:32:58 When I was a little girl,
00:33:02 for my 7th birthday

00:33:10 And I'd spend hours just spinning it slowly,
00:33:14 reading the names of all those strange,

00:33:26 like a wayfarer,

00:36:00 In this connection,
00:36:02 where I can go to be myself now and then,

00:37:36 but the groom understands that.

00:38:55 Come here and walk with me.
00:38:57 I think it would benefit women fliers
00:39:02 You know, the publicity
00:39:05 up there with the boys.
00:39:09 Well, maybe I'll win the race myself.
00:39:11 Well, you can't win if your plane
00:39:15 And let me predict that it won't.
00:39:23 -Well, that's a threat.
00:39:26 Amelia's the one who said I shouldn't
00:39:29 Yeah, she probably meant me.
00:39:31 Well, obviously
00:39:33 Oh, sure, she does.
00:39:35 She just doesn't care.
00:39:37 Hey, Gladys!
00:39:39 I let the boys in charge know,
00:39:42 we're not changing our route!
00:39:44 We'll sail over those

00:39:50 This is what my loyalty requires.

00:40:19 The race continues.
00:40:20 Thousands plan to be on hand

00:40:56 (BAND PLAYING FANFARE MUSIC)
00:40:58 How does it feel to finish 3rd?
00:41:00 A victory for any woman flier
00:41:04 AMELIA: (ON PA) I'd like to add
00:41:07 and announce that
00:41:10 to promote women in aviation.
00:41:13 99 women pilots have applied,
00:41:20 And we're going to fly forever!
00:41:28 -George?
00:41:30 -I've been thinking.
00:41:32 I want to fly the Atlantic.
00:41:34 You already have.
00:41:35 As a passenger. It doesn't count.
00:41:39 I want to fly it solo.
00:41:45 It's been 5 years since Lindbergh.
00:41:49 No one has made it solo.
00:41:52 14 have died trying.
00:41:59 I'll make it. I know I will.
00:42:04 (SIGHING) And if you don't?
00:42:08 I'd rather face a watery grave
00:42:10 than go on living as a fraud.

00:42:30 No more a passenger,
00:42:51 Still sleepy?
00:42:54 Well, I'll nap on the way.
00:42:58 Good news about flying solo,
00:43:02 Do you have money?
00:43:05 No.
00:43:11 A whole 20?
00:43:14 I spent our money on ocean liner passage.
00:43:22 It's non-refundable.
00:43:26 Please do your part.
00:43:30 I will.

00:50:43 No, I can't.

00:50:54 like a white horse in the circus.

00:51:42 -What's your name?
00:51:44 That's an unusual name.
00:51:46 I know. I don't much like it.
00:51:48 We blame his mother.
00:51:49 She was a Gore,

00:51:57 You will have 2 Vidal men
00:52:00 You are so much prettier
00:52:02 Well, thank you, but that...
00:52:03 MAN: Have you heard from Lindbergh?
00:52:06 "Well done."
00:52:07 Are you gonna write another book?
00:52:09 Yes, if my husband
00:52:11 Take my hand.
00:52:12 Come on, Gore.
00:52:33 You know, that woman was right.
00:52:35 -Excuse me?
00:52:38 You are much prettier than your pictures.
00:52:44 It all seems rather silly
00:52:49 Those men, all those families.
00:52:53 Why have I been given so much?
00:52:57 You've earned the spotlight. Enjoy it.
00:53:00 You'll be fine. Just hold on to yourself.

00:54:15 My husband wouldn't want me
00:54:19 So, he hasn't actually forbidden you?
00:54:22 Franklin doesn't forbid.
00:54:25 He just feels it's a waste
00:54:28 since I can't afford to buy a plane.
00:54:31 The wrong Roosevelt got elected.
00:54:33 (CHUCKLES)
00:54:35 I did ask about aviation, but he hasn't
00:54:41 It might be under the Bureau of Commerce.
00:54:43 I think the structure may be less important

00:54:55 when the most accomplished

00:55:01 Gene Vidal.

00:56:01 Good night.
00:56:10 MRS. ROOSEVELT:
00:56:15 She seems quite taken with you.
00:56:16 And vice-versa.
00:56:18 Then again, lots of people
00:56:22 If you're referring to Gene,
00:56:26 I was able to get a word in for him,
00:56:28 to head the Aeronautics Branch.
00:56:30 How did it go?
00:56:31 It's her husband's decision, but I'm hopeful.
00:56:34 Gene is so fortunate to have
00:56:38 He'll help me and I'm helping him.
00:56:57 (PLAYING YOU DO SOMETHING TO ME)
00:57:03 You do something to me

00:57:39 Too many hops, too tough on the ladies.
00:57:42 But the shuttle,

00:58:37 May I ask you a question?
00:58:38 May I ask you a question?
00:58:38 That woman over there.
00:58:41 She's beautiful.
00:58:46 You're the only woman I know
00:58:51 Lovely legs,
00:58:54 unlike mine.
00:58:56 No, I'm sure that's not true.
00:58:58 That's why you wear trousers?
00:59:01 No.
00:59:03 And all this while I thought you just
00:59:07 I may have, at one time, but not anymore.

01:01:27 It's okay.
01:01:30 Do you know
01:01:34 No. But I wish you hadn't.
01:01:39 It's because I'm very, very afraid of jungles.
01:01:43 So, when I find myself worrying about it,
01:01:47 I test my courage by coming into this room
01:01:52 and pretending I'm in the deepest,
01:01:56 In a jungle so thick,
01:02:01 And I start to feel better right away
01:02:05 because I looked my fear right in the face.
01:02:18 Miss Earhart?
01:02:20 Yes?
01:02:22 Could you please marry my father?
01:02:25 Then I'll never be afraid
01:02:28 Aw.
01:02:29 I'm already married to Mr. Putnam.

01:02:47 Well, the thing is, I'd like you to come.

01:06:40 Not unless someone makes me.
01:06:41 Well, someone should.
01:06:43 They're all saying
01:06:45 for no earthly purpose other than

01:07:51 And I'm going home.

01:09:13 Come on, G.P., tell me.
01:09:18 If you're serious about this
01:09:21 then it might be handy
01:09:24 Except it would have to be
01:09:26 $36,000, after a generous discount
01:09:30 It may as well be a billion.
01:09:32 Not to mention at least another $36,000
01:09:34 to have it modified and ready.
01:09:37 And your surprise is you robbed a bank?
01:09:41 No, actually, a university.
01:09:45 I persuaded Ed Elliott to create
01:09:48 an Amelia Earhart Fund for
01:09:52 I suggested a budget amount of $80,000
01:09:57 for a suitable flying laboratory.

01:10:35 you know her death will not
01:10:38 or your next campaign.
01:10:39 What if she doesn't die?
01:10:41 What if she just circumnavigates
01:10:45 The closest land west of Hawaii is
01:10:48 She'll refuel in the air.
01:10:50 She doesn't have the flying skills.
01:10:51 She's taking bigger risks.
01:10:53 Yes. I'm aware of that.
01:10:55 I understand the danger, fellas.
01:10:57 I've studied the route.
01:11:05 This is Howland Island.
01:11:07 It's halfway
01:11:10 It has no elevation, no trees,
01:11:12 hardly anyone knows or cares that it exists.
01:11:15 It would be
01:11:18 It's really tiny, like a grain of sand
01:11:23 If you miss this island, you're out

01:11:37 Safety first, yes?
01:11:43 You've always had Amelia's
01:11:46 And for that, we're both grateful.
01:11:49 Stay for supper?
01:11:52 I'd like to, but I'd better be getting back.
01:11:56 Please tell Gore hello for me.
01:12:00 Give him this. He can track the time zones.
01:12:04 He misses you.

01:13:35 How do you feel about 100%?
01:13:37 Even with cloud cover?
01:13:39 Pan Am told you I'm the best
01:13:43 They did.

01:15:02 REPORTER 6: Thank you!
01:15:05 REPORTER 7: One more,
01:15:08 PHOTOGRAPHER: Right here, Amelia!
01:15:11 REPORTER 8: Good luck, Fred!
01:15:20 AMELIA: Clear!
01:16:28 (TIRES SQUEALING)
01:16:35 (TIRES SQUEALING)
01:16:58 FRED: No!
01:17:06 You all right?
01:17:07 Good reaction cutting the switch!
01:17:12 Come on, Fred!
01:17:16 (SIREN APPROACHING)
01:17:21 FIREFIGHTER 1: Right engine, get the right
01:17:24 -We need tetrachloride here.
01:17:31 REPORTER 1: Sam,
01:17:33 REPORTER 2: Make sure
01:17:40 Turn her up. Okay, go.
01:18:10 I'll make it good, G.P., I swear to you I will.
01:18:14 I'll make it back and more, I promise.
01:18:16 The book sales, the lectures,
01:18:18 this flight will keep us
01:18:22 Maybe.
01:18:23 No, it will, I promise.
01:18:27 Our sales, our prices are going to double.
01:18:29 This just showed them
01:18:31 They were taking it for granted.
01:18:32 They thought I was competent.
01:18:33 Here.
01:18:35 I meant, maybe...
01:18:40 Maybe we can just stop it.
01:18:44 You mean after?
01:18:47 Or even now.
01:18:53 So my exit would be a stupid crash
01:18:58 and withdrawing from
01:19:01 to finally do something
01:19:05 It would ruin us in the bargain.
01:19:07 -Mmm-hmm. Yes.
01:19:08 Mmm-hmm. It's true.
01:19:12 And I'd be fine with that.
01:19:16 (WHISPERING)
01:19:21 Lucky for you.
01:19:27 (WHISPERING) And what if it's not
01:19:32 What if it's something I need to show me?
01:19:41 (WORKERS CHATTERING)
01:19:44 I don't really have a choice,
01:19:48 I'd be facing hurricanes in the
01:19:51 Yeah, but you'll be flying Howland last.
01:19:53 -When I'm most tired.
01:19:55 So, I just won't get tired.
01:20:00 What's the timetable on the plane?
01:20:03 3 weeks. She'll be good as new.
01:20:05 We have a remarkable crew here.
01:20:07 -The best that money can...
01:20:09 buy, yeah.
01:20:11 All the money wasted
01:20:13 You cut the engines.
01:20:14 It would've cost a bundle more
01:20:20 Not to mention a burnt-up pilot.
01:20:22 I overreacted.
01:20:23 The plane was too heavy, I should've used
01:20:27 It's only money.
01:20:30 We'll figure this out. We always do.
01:20:51 Have you considered, Miss Earhart,
01:20:55 outweighs your ability, as demonstrated
01:21:00 People are saying that you're reckless,
01:21:02 a better celebrity than pilot.
01:21:04 Enthusiastic? Yes.
01:21:07 Reckless? Not on your life.
01:21:09 I'm a flier pursuing my passion
01:21:15 Thank you. A future flier!
01:21:17 (ALL LAUGH)
01:21:19 (CROWD CHEERING)
01:21:26 MAN: You can do it, Amelia!
01:21:28 WOMAN 1: Mr. Noonan, over here!
01:21:29 WOMAN 2: We love you, Amelia!
01:21:40 NEWSCASTER:
01:21:42 24,902 miles,
01:21:47 crossing Africa, over India,
01:21:51 After this 'round-the-world flight,
01:21:53 are you gonna give up long-distance flying?
01:21:55 Not while there's still life left in me.
01:21:57 Always ready for a new adventure.
01:21:59 REPORTER 1: Great, great.
01:22:01 GEORGE: Fred, you're on.
01:22:02 REPORTER 2: Hey, Fred,
01:22:17 (WHISPERING) Come back to me.
01:22:19 Always.
01:22:24 (SIGHS)
01:22:37 REPORTER 1: Hurry up, come on! Hurry up!
01:22:38 REPORTER 2: Miss Earhart!
01:22:40 REPORTER 3: Just one more, please!
01:22:41 REPORTER 4: Miss Earhart,
01:22:49 (CAMERAS CLICKING)
01:22:53 (SOFTLY) See you.
01:22:56 (PLANE ENGINE STARTING)
01:23:24 AMELIA: A fairyland of
01:23:28 so lovely as to distract
01:23:33 that of herding a heavy plane
01:23:37 and over the mountains that make its rim.
01:24:06 (MOVIE CAMERA WHIRRING)
01:24:22 What is this thing, huh?
01:24:25 Whole thing's made of mud.
01:24:26 It's beautiful.
01:24:39 It's like working with you.
01:24:41 (LAUGHS)
01:24:44 Come on, Amelia.
01:24:55 (FEEDBACK WARBLING)
01:24:59 NEWSCASTER: Amelia Earhart has
01:25:01 Dad! Dad! It's a bulletin!
01:25:02 ...but heavy rains have
01:25:04 She will push on to Bangkok,
01:25:07 before heading east
01:25:16 We should go, Fred.
01:25:17 Oh, come on! You're not really taking off?
01:25:19 It's only going to get heavier.
01:25:22 We could be stuck here for days,
01:25:24 It's only 700 miles to Bangkok,
01:25:27 To get that far in a monsoon,
01:25:31 Chai?
01:25:32 Thank you.
01:25:37 Come on, Fred.
01:26:08 You think we should turn back, huh?
01:26:10 Nope. I think we shouldn't have come.
01:26:39 Hi, Joan.
01:26:41 Hello, Frances.
01:27:00 You look beat, lady.
01:27:02 That's funny, you look tip-top.
01:27:04 Why don't you grab a few hours of sleep?
01:27:06 Might as well keep you company.
01:27:09 I've got some good flying stories.
01:27:11 (CHUCKLES)
01:27:12 Thank you.
01:27:13 Yeah.
01:27:17 You and your old George.
01:27:24 An honest one, if I say so myself.
01:27:30 I wonder if it's honest enough for George.
01:27:33 If you mean Gene,
01:27:37 In that way. Not for a long time.
01:27:41 You don't think I love my husband?
01:27:43 Actually, I do.
01:27:45 In a certain way.
01:27:48 But you disapprove of how I live?
01:27:50 Hell, no.
01:27:52 It's just like me.
01:27:55 Meaning?
01:27:58 Guys love their wives, their girlfriends.
01:28:00 Doesn't mean they don't take advantage
01:28:06 of an opportunity.
01:28:14 If you have a point, make it.
01:28:16 I believe I have.
01:28:25 All you need to do is just
01:28:29 show up sober,
01:28:31 and get me to Howland Island.
01:28:50 (DOOR SQUEAKING OPEN)
01:28:54 Ready, ma'am.
01:28:59 Thank you.
01:29:10 Feel like stepping out for a smoke?
01:29:13 Oh, I don't smoke.
01:29:15 Or something?
01:29:30 Earhart here.
01:29:32 Putnam here.
01:29:37 You should be sleeping.
01:29:41 You should be working.
01:29:43 I'm running a big adventure here.
01:29:45 I'm a very important fellow.
01:29:48 You told me I was the star
01:29:53 a small particle of dust
01:29:58 I thought I was joking.
01:30:05 I'll be in Honolulu on the 3rd
01:30:08 and with you in Oakland
01:30:12 Don't keep me waiting.
01:30:15 I won't dare.
01:30:18 How's Fred? On the wagon?
01:30:20 I sent you my movies to lighten the plane.
01:30:27 You wouldn't sell a salesman, would you?
01:30:30 Fred is fine.
01:30:31 He's calculating
01:30:35 So what's that I hear in your voice?
01:30:40 Is he drinking?
01:30:42 I can handle it.
01:30:43 (SIGHS) All right, call it off. Call it off now.
01:30:46 Right now, Amelia. I mean it. Right now.
01:30:54 (SOFTLY) I can handle it.
01:30:59 After the 4th, we're going home.
01:31:03 Where is that?
01:31:05 For me? Anywhere you are.
01:31:17 I'm going to like it there.
01:31:23 I'd better, since this is
01:31:29 (SOFTLY) If you insist.
01:31:37 I love you.
01:31:55 Should I let you go now?
01:31:56 (WHISPERING) No, never.
01:32:08 I'll go tell the world you're on your way.
01:32:12 See you,
01:32:16 my darling.
01:32:23 See you, my love.
01:32:38 (SIGHS)
01:33:06 MAN: It looks like she's ready to leave.
01:33:25 Might be easier to just shoot me.
01:33:28 Traveling light, is all.
01:33:30 You got room for 180 pounds of asshole?
01:33:36 Ma'am, I'm so sorry.
01:33:40 It's fine. Everything is.
01:33:53 -Have you filled the other side?
01:34:15 AMELIA: Not more than a month ago,
01:34:18 looking westward.
01:34:20 This morning,
01:34:24 In these fast-moving days
01:34:27 the whole width of the world
01:34:30 except this broad ocean.
01:34:33 I shall be glad when we have the
01:34:37 Mr. Balfour, come in, over.
01:34:40 Mr. Putnam.
01:34:42 The headwinds were stronger
01:34:45 I recalculated the fuel.
01:34:51 9%.

01:35:01 BALFOUR: King How Able Queen Queen.
01:35:07 King How Able Queen Queen.
01:35:16 Mr. Putnam, I can 't reach them, sir.
01:35:19 I tried voice and Morse Code.
01:35:21 No, forget Morse Code.
01:35:25 Just stay with voice. You'll get them.
01:35:32 (TAPPING MORSE CODE)
01:35:51 At ease, sailor.

01:37:59 We'll make noise in microphone.
01:38:04 Over.
01:38:06 She's got to stay on longer.
01:38:08 On air too briefly, bearing's impossible.
01:38:46 Maybe her Morse receiver's out.
01:38:49 King How Able Queen Queen.
01:38:52 Can't take bearing on 3105.
01:38:55 Or do you want to take bearing on us?

01:43:52 Itasca to Earhart, come in, please.
01:44:21 AMELIA: All the things
01:44:26 look up, they're in my eyes.
01:44:44 Everyone has oceans to fly.
01:44:51 Is it reckless? Maybe.
01:44:57 But what do dreams know of boundaries?
01:45:31 I think about the hands I have held,
01:45:36 the places I've seen,
01:45:42 the vast lands whose dirt is
01:46:10 The world has changed me.
