00:01:04 |
24,902 miles, to travel across |

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! |

Thank you. That's enough. |

Mr. Balfour, come in, over. |

Mr. Putnam. |
00:03:00 |
The headwinds were stronger |

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. |

SECRETARY: Miss Earhart? |

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 |

00:10:21 |
The name is Amelia Earhart. |

GEORGE: They're leaving for Newfoundland. |
00:10:42 |
Yes, they'll be taking off for there |

Popping-off letters. |

You know, in case. |

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. |

GENE: Miss Earhart. May I call you Amelia? |
00:31:22 |
We may be from different worlds, |
00:31:23 |
but we have more in common |
00:31:25 |
-Is that so? |
00:31:28 |
at West Point, true, but still a teacher. |
00:31:31 |
What do you teach? |
00:31:32 |
Flying. |

What is it? |
00:32:16 |
Marry me. |
00:32:17 |
-What? |
00:32:22 |
I don't want to get married, George. |
00:32:24 |
Don't you see you and I |
00:32:31 |
Dear George. |
00:32:33 |
Only I can make a fulfilling life for myself. |
00:32:36 |
I don't believe |
00:32:39 |
Only when it's shared. |
00:32:43 |
Let me share your life with you. |
00:32:47 |
Let me try to give you whatever you want. |
00:32:58 |
When I was a little girl, |
00:33:02 |
for my 7th birthday |
00:33:06 |
my father gave me a globe. |
00:33:10 |
And I'd spend hours just spinning it slowly, |
00:33:14 |
reading the names of all those strange, |
00:33:19 |
Morocco. Spain. Ethiopia. |
00:33:23 |
Dreaming that someday |
00:33:26 |
like a wayfarer, |
00:33:29 |
a traveler, |
00:33:32 |
a vagabond. |
00:33:35 |
I want to be free, George. |
00:33:38 |
To be a vagabond of the air. |
00:33:45 |
I'll help you get there. |

You must know again |

my feeling that I shatter |

In this connection, |

where I can go to be myself now and then, |

"And that is, you will let me go in a year |
00:36:55 |
"if we find no happiness together." |

Only you, my dear Amelia, |

Obey, I can't promise that |

I tried voice and Morse Code. |
01:35:21 |
No, forget Morse Code. |
01:35:25 |
Just stay with voice. You'll get them. |

She's got to stay on longer. |
01:38:08 |
On air too briefly, bearing's impossible. |

Maybe her Morse receiver's out. |

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. |
