Pan Am

There you are. Enjoy your flight.

"Jet Clipper service is unique.

"Upon boarding an around-the-world flight,

"passengers are greeted by the international beauty and grace

"known as the Pan Am stewardess."

Next.

"All college-educated girls can fly until they are married or turn 32."

Hands.

Excuse me. Can you help me?

That's quite a picture.

Thank you. Uh, I have a bit of a problem, Miss...

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. Uh, 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, beaute.

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 San Juan leg.

No, no. Not the flight. The magazine.

How did it happen?

I'm not sure exactly. Um...

Ah, pas mal. Vous avez étudié a Paris?

A L'Universite de Baltimore.

Make way for the face of Pan Am.

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

Nylon emergency. Don't say that. I'm not.

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... 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... I didn't ask for it.

Of course you 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?

The departure gate

for Pan Am flight 310 has been changed.

The new departure gate is...

And the magazine?

Oh, no. I'm just looking.

Are you sure? We'll sell out in a couple hours.

I'll take one.

Here. Take mine.

Uh, a pack of Wilmingtons

and the young lady's chewing gum.

68 cents.

Keep the change.

Thank you.

Pretty girl.

Very.

Are you ready for your first assignment?

Now? Seat 3-D.

We need to detain him at customs in Heathrow.

Replace the British visa in his passport with this expired one.

Without him knowing?

I'll take that as rhetorical.

You forgot your gum. Oh.

Sure. Let me get it.

Oh. Does the Marxist dialectic account for a dual thesis?

That's Hegel, not Marx. Hello.

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.

What, Bridget's not here yet?

Not your problem.

Clipper Majestic departs on schedule.

Write her first chapter, Captain.

Yeah.

This is the last boarding call for flight 2701...

John?

...to Sao Paulo, Brazil.

Hey, John!

Hey, was that your... 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.

Just 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.

Wow. It's beautiful.

Brand-new. Never been flown.

What do you think, ladies?

Can we make this work?

Are you our pilot? One of 'em.

No, he's our co-pilot.

Well, uh, First Officer.

First Officer.

Are you okay, miss?

Eyes forward.

Fuel quantity checked.

Flight controls free and correct.

Are we ready, boys?

Hey. Are you nervous?

'Cause I could take that seat, if you're nervous.

Thanks, Ted,

but Pan Am wants actual pilots in the left seat.

Ha ha.

Welcome aboard, Mr. Sabel.

Right this way.

3-D is the aisle.

May I take your coat?

I wear coat when it's cold.

Your briefcase?

Gin with bitters, please.

Colette. Bonjour.

Welcome aboard, monsieur.

May I take your coat?

John, please slow down. Tommy slipped.

Oh. Are you all right, buddy? Uh, Evelyn, coat?

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

Certainly. Yeah.

Clipper 22, Tower.

Your special delivery just landed. Over.

Roger that, Tower.

That's our girl.

The Captain will give you a report on our flight plan

just as soon as his duties permits.

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

Well, thanks, Kate. Hey.

Maggie, you're our purser?

Best they could manage on short notice.

Can we roll out, gentlemen? I'm getting tired of waiting.

Maggie?

Dean?

You're a captain now?

Did 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?

Mmm.

Well, isn't that something?

Clipper 22, Idlewild Tower.

Cleared for takeoff, runway 3-1-left.

Cleared for takeoff,

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

So how new are you, Laura?

Is it that obvious?
