um. thanks, and. you, too. they're saying you get $500 a week on the lecture circuit. oh, i don't underestimate the value of selling. it's why i'm here. well, actually mr. putnam, i was hoping you could do to me what you've done to her. inadvertently, her eyes flick to the bedroom door. catching this, our couple shares a dry smile. the kid sees that. uh- oh. what i mean is. it's a good thing. that's why i want it. now our couple is trying not to laugh. i do. wish i was important enough for you to manage. get in line behind the boys she smacked around on the derby. he grins back. you bet. some of the gal flyers had their doubts about her. well, her skill level. but she's everyone's champion now. i'm not sure she has much of a chance, mr. putnam. sir, i've test piloted the vega. it's way more than she could ever handle. it wouldn't be safe, let alone successful. he smiles. well, i think that's the most generous opportunity i've ever been offered. he stares at her. in that case, i'll get my own plane and win the race myself. that's a threat. she's the one who said i shouldn't let anybody turn me around. obviously, she doesn't see me as a threat.
