"Gordon Vette: 771, this is 308. What are your vital statistics?
Jay Parkins: I've gotten down to take a look at the ocean. Fuel gauge is low. Airspeed 110 knots. All I can see is... water and sky. I've been up there for 14 hours. Everything is starting to look the same.
Gordon Vette: Hang in there, 771. We're going to find you. Just call us on 121.5 every two minutes so we can determine whether we're within 200 miles of each other.
Jay Parkins: Will do, thanks. Listen, 308? You're not really out there for search and rescue, aren't you? I mean... no on-board radar or anything like that. How the hell do you plan to find me?
[pause]
Capt. Warren Banks: Damn good question!

"Gordon Vette: Ladies and gentlemen? Ladies and gentlemen! May I have your attention please? I'm Captain Vette. Don't be alarmed, there's nothing wrong with this plane. But, we do have a rather unusual circumstance here. We have received a distress call from an American pilot, flying a light plane somewhere in this area. His instruments have malfunctioned and he doesn't know where he is. He's lost. He's running out of fuel. But Pacific called us, and asked if we could assist him. Now, there's no danger to us. We have plenty of fuel. With your permission, I would like to try and find him.
[pause]
Enthusiastic Man: Well, let's go for it!
Little Margaret: Mister Captain, how did he get so lost?
Gordon Vette: Come here, darling. I'll try to show everybody. Now, you make believe that you're that little lost plane. How would you do that?
[Margaret extends her arms as if she was an airplane]
Gordon Vette: Terrific. Okay. Turn around. Now, you've been flying straight for hours. Hours and hours. And, a mean old crosswind comes up and tries to roll you away from your destination so...
[pointing at Derek, a little boy]
Gordon Vette: Come on, here, son. You play that mean old crosswind. You try to veer her off course.
[Derek tries and pushes Margaret, but she resists]
Gordon Vette: That a boy! But the pilot was smart. Bigger than t the crosswind. Flying against it. But he got fooled, because the crosswind suddenly stopped.
[Derek stops pushing her, and Margaret starts veering to the left]
Gordon Vette: The instruments on the pilot's craft didn't warn him. Now, the little plane was flying as hard as he could against nothing! What do you think happened?
Little Margaret: He flew that way.
Gordon Vette: That's right. And so he must be somewhere over there.
Nervous Man: But, what was he doing out there, flying around without any navigation equipment?
Gordon Vette: He has an instrument called Automatic Direction Finder, but it's malfunctioning.
Enthusiastic Man: Oh yeah! Bloody mess!
Gordon Vette: What do you say? Should we give it a try?
[the children cheer]
Gordon Vette: All right! Look out there, everybody! Gotta be somewhere! And thank you!
[Gordon walks back to the flight deck]
Vanessa Cross: Gordon, you are an old smoothie!

Marilyn Monroe
"You can't sleep your way into being a star. It takes much, much more. But it helps a lot of actresses get their first chance that way."

One of the most enduring sex symbols of our time, Marilyn Monroe's career didn't take off until she had made dozen's of B-movies, playing the stereotypical dumb blond. It wasn't until her role in Gentlemen Prefer Blondes followed soon after by How to Marry a Millionaire that Marilyn gained notoriety. Managing her own career, she was never able to break out of comedic roles, though she longed to do drama. Her personal life was as dramatic as her on screen roles, as she courted and married baseball great Joe DiMaggio and then playwright Arthur Miller. Tragically, her career came to an en…
