It's late.
I'm hungry.
You're always hungry.
How about going to a restaurant for dinner?
I don't know. I planned to have dinner at home...
Come on. Try your luck?
Oh, OK.
Heads or tails?
Heads.
Tails. I win. We're going to have dinner together.
Our first date!
Now, let's cut the cards to see who pays.
All right, low card pays.
Seven. Lucky number.
Eight. You pay.
I've already reserved a table for two. It's at my favorite restaurant.
Excuse me.
I have something very important to talk about.
Who are you?
My name is Justin, Justin Thyme. I'm an agent for the US Government. I want to propose a top-secret mission.
Top secret? We need help.
And we want Jack Stark and Company.
Nadine O'Connor.
Pleased to meet you. The pleasure's mine.
I'd like to know more about this.
First, you must promise to never mention this mission to anyone.
We promise not to tell.
Word of honor.
Go on. Fine.
The Government has been investigating a company called Skymaster Aircraft.
Don't they make airplanes for the mllitary? That's right.
We belleve they're making a secret weapon.
A secret weapon? For what purpose?
To dominate the worId.
This is a big job!
Then, you've decided to accept the mission? Affirmative.
Good.
You'll Ieave on the first plane tomorrow morning.
Where are we going? To PaIm Springs.
Skymaster Headquarters? That's right.
I'll see you in PaIm Springs. Wait there for more instructions.
Palm Springs.
A secret mission.
It sounds romantic.
You're wearing new perfume.
You're very observant.
What's it called?
Oasis.
We are now approaching Palm Springs.
Please fasten your seatbelts. And remember, smoking is prohibited.
Working for the government has its advantages.
I hate waiting! We've been here for two days and there's still no sign of agent Justin Thyme.
Shhh. Why don't you rest your detective's head a little and go swimming?
Swimming is not my favorite sport.
What is your favorite sport, Jack?
Catching criminals.
Don't you ever get tired of catching criminals?
You should learn to relax. Go on. You can hold my hand.
Frightened?
I've always been frightened of women.
Are you afraid of falling in Iove with me?
Look, I'm divorced. I don't like making the same mistake twice.
You're late. Our meeting was at 11 o'cIock.
It's exactIy 11 :01 and 32 seconds. Arriving late is against company rules!
I know. Forgive me. It won't happen again.
Have you finished your report on Project X?
We still need to do more testing.
Your Iast experiment falled, Dr. Anderson.
The machine isn't ready yet.
Wasting time and wasting money are against company rules.
Do you like my new toy?
Yes, sir.
I don't understand. The Government sends us to PaIm Springs.
They rent this nice apartment for you. And they put me in a cheap hoteI. You've even got an idiot box.
You mean the TV. Turn it on.
We have been receiving reports of Unidentified FIying Objects.
Last night our cameraman fllmed these images.
Do you belleve in UFO's? Seeing is belleving.
It Iooked like a falling star to me.
Let's go out on the baIcony. Maybe we'll see some falling stars.
It's nice out here.
What's the matter, Jack?
I don't know. I feeI strange.
Don't you enjoy being with me?
You know I do. I'm just nervous, that's all.
Big Jack Stark, the Jack of Hearts, doesn't like falling in Iove with his ex-secretary.
You enjoy Iaughing at me, don't you.
No, Jack, I....
Excuse me, but I have your instructions.
Just in time...
Miss. O'Connor, do you remember a man named Townsend Brown? Major Townsend Brown.
Of course. He was a friend of my father.
Your father was in the Air Force. And Townsend Brown was a British officer.
That's correct. He was visiting from EngIand.
I understand he was in Iove with you.
I wasn't very interested.
What's this about?
Townsend Brown is director of Skymaster Aircraft.
We have chosen Nadine to find out more information about the company.
I don't think Nadine is right for the job.
Why not?
She hasn't had enough experience. He'll discover her.
I don't like arguing. We have important work to do.
Do you want to accept the job?
I don't know. Do you want me to?
It's your decision.
When do I start?
Tomorrow morning. Townsend Brown Ioves swimming. He always goes to the pooI on Fridays.
It Iooks like you've found a swimming partner.
Townsend!
Nadine! What a surprise. What are you doing here?
I'm here on vacation.
On hollday in PaIm Springs. Are you here alone?
Yes, I am.
Would you like to have dinner with me tonight?
That sounds wonderfuI.
I think she's perfect for the job.
What do you mean?
We chose her because she's attractive and intelligent.
And because Townsend was once in love with her.
Thank you for a lovely dinner, Townsend.
The night is young.
My father always said you were the man for me.
I was sorry to hear that your father died.
He died in a plane crash. He was testing a new plane for the Air Force.
Why did you Ieave the mllitary, Townsend?
I never liked taking orders, although I Iove giving them. You know I'm the owner of Skymaster Aircraft.
Yes, I'm proud of you. I'd like to see where you work. Can I come to your office tomorrow?
You can show me around the company.
If you don't run away from me again.
Word of honor.
I still feeI the same way about you. You're lovely.
I feel comfortable with you.
Would you like to dance?
I'd Iove to.
Thank you for a wonderfuI evening, Townsend.
I really enjoy being with you, Nadine.
Good-bye.
See you tomorrow.
What are you doing here?
Waiting for instructions... You kissed him!
He kissed me and it's not fun, Jack. I hate pIaying these games.
You knew what you were doing when you accepted the mission.
Why didn't you try to stop me?
Because it was your decision, not mine.
I'm sorry, Jack.
It's too late for that now.
Excuse me. Do you have anything to report?
Townsend is going to show me his company tomorrow.
Good. You should find out what's going on inside.
I'll try.
I have something to help you.
What's that?
It's the smallest TV camera in the worId. You'll wear it tomorrow when you visit Skymaster.
We've put a receiver in this television set, so we'll be able to see what's happening.
Can we see how it works?
It's a brooch. Here, put it on.
Can you help, Jack?
Miss Nadine O'Connor is here to see you.
Send her in...
Nadine, I'm very pleased to see you.
I had a wonderfuI time Iast night. You're a very good dancer.
You dance very well too. Would you like a drink?
It's a llttIe earIy for a drink.
I'm having scotch.
Can you show me around the company, Townsend?
We can see everything from right here. Watch this.
I don't like watching this idiot box. I want to do something!
Don't be impatient, Mr. Stark, you'll get your chance.
Why have you put cameras everywhere?
Because I want to know exactIy what's going on in my company. Can you keep a secret?
If it's your secret, of course. I won't tell.
Look at this!
Wow! What's that?
Project X, the key to the future.
Tell me about it. What does it do?
Project X is a new kind of fIying machine. Nadine, here at Skymaster Aircraft we've discovered the secret of gravity.
This machine can acceIerate at impossibIe speeds, and can remain compIeteIy still, hanging in the air.
And it needs no pllot. I direct it by remote controI.
This invention wllI make you a fortune.
I'm not interested in making money. I'm already rich. What I want is power!
How can this machine give you power?
Watch this.
What is it?
It's a speciaI weapon called a Iaser ray which is an extraordinary llght. This machine can burn a hoIe through the White House.
It can produce nucIear accidents that cause panic and chaos! With this machine I can be king. I can ruIe the worId!
He thinks he's NapoIeon.
I'm impressed, Townsend. You were always very ambitious, but this is amazing!
I've finally got everything I've always wanted.
Except one thing.
What's that?
You! I want to share my power with you. WllI you be my queen, Nadine?
We could ruIe the worId together.
It's time for you to act, Mr. Stark. The United States Government must have that machine!
Ow! What's this?
It's a brooch.
It's a camera and a microphone!
You've been spying on me! Who are you working for?
It's been a brief, but very intense romance, which has incIuded dining, dancing, swimming, and a llttIe spying.
I've enjoyed your company, Nadine, but I'm afraid the time has come to say ''au revoir''.
I hate saying goodbyes, Townsend. Can't we talk about this?
You never Ioved me. You were onIy using me to get information on Project X.
You're right! I hated kissing you!
Excuse me while I turn up the power a llttIe.
You're never going to leave this place alive!
Your plan wllI never work! You can't succeed!
You're wrong. Nothing can stop me now.
Isn't this a romantic moment?
I feel weak. The energy is leaving my body.
The Iast thing you'll ever see is my smlling face!
Goodbye smlling face!
Were you worried about me?
Not really. You have to stay caIm in a situation like this.
Liar! You Iook terribIe.
Well, maybe I was a littIe worried.
Wake up, Justin.
We've finished our mission.
Where were you when all the action started?
I was trying to fix the receiver. We lost your signal.
Project X is all yours. You've got your flying machine.
What's the government going to do with it?
That's classified information, Miss O'Connor. Top secret.
You used Nadine to get that fIying machine.
Remember, Project X is top secret, so you must never talk about it.
Belleve me. We want to forget it!
Good-bye!
We can finally be alone.
Would you like to have dinner with me?
Somewhere quiet, romantic...
That's the idea.
