STEWARDESS: I hope you'll be more comfortable.
Thank you.

Please don't say anything.
I'm embarrassed enough as it is.

[WOMAN SCREAMS.]
[AIR MASK HISSING.]
[.]
STEWARDESS: Coffee, tea or punch? VALERIE: I'll have some fruit punch, please.

Stewardess, may I have a pillow? Jeannie! Oh! I don't know who you are but you shouldn't be allowed out without your keeper! What are you doing here? I am celebrating our anniversary.
Oh, yeah.
Jeannie, I'm sorry.
I'm I'm kind of tied up now.
Would you? Would you go home? Yes, master.
Good.
Have a good time in Washington.
I'm not going to Washington to have a good time.
Oh? Then why are you going? This is the reason I'm going.
It's a can of film.
A movie.
Dr.
Bellows ordered me to take it.
You mean you ruined our anniversary, made me the unhappiest genie in the universe, and just for a silly little old can of film? It's not a silly little old can of You're right.
You're right.
It's just a silly little old can of film.
[LAUGHING.]
Well, not anymore it is not.
[RATTLING.]
What have you done? What did you do to this film? BELLOWS: Major Nelson.
Goodbye, master.
Shh.
Major Nelson.
Yes, sir.
What are you doing in here? Where is she? We're not supposed to know each other, remember? But that stewardess you were here with? There's no stewardess, sir.
Please, sir, you're violating security regulations.
I told you to get off this plane.
I was just giving this man some Get off this plane right now.
[HUFFS.]
[.]
[LAUGHS.]
[YELLS.]
[SCREAMING.]
[.]
I don't have to tell you how we've been looking forward to this film, Dr.
Bellows.
And if I may say so, what you're gonna see is really gonna be an eye opener.
Right, major.
I hope so, sir, yes.
Major.
Uh, general.
Oh, uh, general Uh, perhaps it'd be good idea if I ran the film alone first, sir.
Oh, nonsense, major.
We'll look at it together.
Shall we, gentlemen? Oh, uh, major? Yeah? NARRATOR [IN FILM.]
: The film you are about to see was made under the most carefully guarded conditions at NASA headquarters.
It contains some of the top-secret, up-to-date activities of the space agency.
What are we doing at NASA? Let's take a look.
The past is forgotten.
The future will be bright and promising before us.
New men, new equipment, new horizons to conquer.
This experimental model of the TBF-60 is a far cry from man's first primitive attempt to imitate the birds.
Through dedication and daring of men like these we at NASA are looking not to the clouds but to the very stars.
Take a look at another top-secret, experimental prototype.
While still in a developmental stage, its future in the exploration of outer space is unlimited.
Because of this powerful new orbital device our astronaut training program has been completely revised.
Very few men can pass this rigid test.
Here you see a flight into the future.
The vehicle that one day will take us to Jupiter and Mars.
Other nations are working on a spaceship like this.
But we at NASA are several years ahead of them.
Note the radically new method of launching the vehicle into orbit.
[WHISPERING.]
Major Nelson, what's going on here? I can't say, sir.
Is that the film I turned over to you? It never left my wrist.
Before we can look forward to reaching outer planets, and finally the stars, we must first conquer the problem of soft landing on the moon.
Here, we see such a landing.
Note the easy, graceful initial stage.
The spacecraft takes advantage of artificially induced air currents to glide to a perfect three-point landing.
Here is a perfect example of a new breed of men.
The men who will one day make space travel as safe as walking to the corner store.
We've heard about enough of this! Stop the film! Colonel, I want to know the meaning of this.
So do I, general.
I flew in from Germany to see this film.
I don't know what the White House is gonna say.
I'll tell you what I say: I'm going to demand a congressional investigation and a formal court-martial, and you two are history.
I'm sorry.
Don't sit there, say something.
What do I say, sir? Major.
Yes, sir.
Uh, I know what you're thinking, and you're wrong.
Uh, I mean it's It's not what you're thinking.
[LAUGHS.]
Actually, what I mean is, if I could get to a phone I could explain.
There's one in the corner.
I, uh, beg your pardon? In the corner.
Yes.
Thank you very much.
Gentlemen, gentlemen, please be patient.
Uh, you'll be amused to hear how simple his explanation is.
[.]
It's too bad, uh, Tony isn't here on his anniversary to, uh, join in, in all the fun.
You would not leave me to celebrate our third anniversary with another woman.
Or our fourth.
Or our fourth.
Jeannie, if this is a proposal, I accept.
Why don't you whip up a nice chateau to get married in, and then maybe we can get about 12 beautiful bridesmaids [PHONE RINGS.]
Hello? Oh, hello.
Jeannie? I am sorry, master, but I am busy planning my wedding.
[PHONE CLICKS.]
[.]
Well, Major Nelson, what's holding you up? Nothing, sir.
It was the wrong number.
I'll try again.
Look, I don't want anything too elaborate.
Maybe a Caribbean cruise on my new yacht.
[PHONE RINGS.]
I wish he would stop interrupting.
I will tell him.
Jeannie, don't hang up.
I need you.
I am sorry, master, but I am very busy planning my honeymoon.
If you need help, ask Marion to do it.
Marion? Mm, eh What's Sergeant Marion got to do with it? How do you know about him? Him? Jeannie, uh, what's the matter with you? Oh.
Oh, I am sorry, master.
But I think I am on the wrong honeymoon.
Jeannie? Jeannie? What about our wedding? [CLEARS THROAT.]
Always a bridesmaid.
Well, Major Nelson, do you have an explanation or don't you? Well, sir, I'm afraid Master.
[QUIETLY.]
Jeannie? GENERAL: Well? Oh, master, how can you ever forgive me? I thought you and Marion were Never mind that, Jeannie.
Can you put the film back? And on our anniversary.
Oh, I will never forgive myself.
Well, we're waiting, Major Nelson.
Jeannie, can you fix the film? Oh, yes, master, I can fix it.
I think you better explain all this, Major Nelson.
Yes, of course, sir.
Uh, gentlemen, please, may I have your attention? Uh, I've just talked to Dr.
Eugene Oglethorpe, the chief of this project, and he explained the whole thing to me.
Dr.
Oglethorpe says that this room was wired in advance and all our reactions have been recorded to be studied later by NASA researchers.
Good.
Very good, major.
So if you would please take your seats we'll be able to show you the film you came to see.
I don't believe a word of that story, but I'll discuss it with you later.
Are you sure we're gonna see the proper film now? Absolutely, sir.
Mmm.
[.]
[.]
[.]
Jeannie? Jeannie, I have a surprise for you.
Happy anniversary.
Oh.

Do you like your present? My present? Mm-mm.
Where? Open the window.
Hey, now wait a minute.
I thought we agreed we weren't gonna give elaborate gifts.
Open the window.
Now, if you blinked up a car or anything, I'll never forgive you for that.
[THUNDEROUS RUSHING WATER.]
Niagara Falls? That's Niagara Falls.
Oh, happy anniversary, master.
[.]
[.]
Jeannie! How do you like it, master? Well Well, you gotta put it back.
Oh, I did not move Niagara Falls, master.
I moved the house.

Would you mind passing these over? No.
Thank you.
Wait.
Hold it.
Stop right there.
I'll take it.
Stewardess, may I have a pillow? Jeannie! Oh! I don't know who you are but you shouldn't be allowed out without your keeper! What are you doing here? I am celebrating our anniversary.
Oh, yeah.
Jeannie, I'm sorry.
I'm I'm kind of tied up now.
Would you? Would you go home? Yes, master.
Good.
Have a good time in Washington.
I'm not going to Washington to have a good time.
Oh? Then why are you going? This is the reason I'm going.
It's a can of film.
A movie.
Dr.
Bellows ordered me to take it.
You mean you ruined our anniversary, made me the unhappiest genie in the universe, and just for a silly little old can of film? It's not a silly little old can of You're right.
You're right.
It's just a silly little old can of film.
[LAUGHING.]
Well, not anymore it is not.
[RATTLING.]
What have you done? What did you do to this film? BELLOWS: Major Nelson.
Goodbye, master.
Shh.
Major Nelson.
Yes, sir.
What are you doing in here? Where is she? We're not supposed to know each other, remember? But that stewardess you were here with? There's no stewardess, sir.
Please, sir, you're violating security regulations.
I told you to get off this plane.
I was just giving this man some Get off this plane right now.
[HUFFS.]
[.]
[LAUGHS.]
[YELLS.]
[SCREAMING.]
[.]
I don't have to tell you how we've been looking forward to this film, Dr.
Bellows.
And if I may say so, what you're gonna see is really gonna be an eye opener.
Right, major.
I hope so, sir, yes.
Major.
Uh, general.
Oh, uh, general Uh, perhaps it'd be good idea if I ran the film alone first, sir.
Oh, nonsense, major.
We'll look at it together.
Shall we, gentlemen? Oh, uh, major? Yeah? NARRATOR [IN FILM.]
: The film you are about to see was made under the most carefully guarded conditions at NASA headquarters.
It contains some of the top-secret, up-to-date activities of the space agency.
What are we doing at NASA? Let's take a look.
The past is forgotten.
The future will be bright and promising before us.
New men, new equipment, new horizons to conquer.
This experimental model of the TBF-60 is a far cry from man's first primitive attempt to imitate the birds.
Through dedication and daring of men like these we at NASA are looking not to the clouds but to the very stars.
Take a look at another top-secret, experimental prototype.
While still in a developmental stage, its future in the exploration of outer space is unlimited.
Because of this powerful new orbital device our astronaut training program has been completely revised.
Very few men can pass this rigid test.
Here you see a flight into the future.
The vehicle that one day will take us to Jupiter and Mars.
Other nations are working on a spaceship like this.
But we at NASA are several years ahead of them.
Note the radically new method of launching the vehicle into orbit.
[WHISPERING.]
Major Nelson, what's going on here? I can't say, sir.
Is that the film I turned over to you? It never left my wrist.
Before we can look forward to reaching outer planets, and finally the stars, we must first conquer the problem of soft landing on the moon.
Here, we see such a landing.
Note the easy, graceful initial stage.
The spacecraft takes advantage of artificially induced air currents to glide to a perfect three-point landing.
Here is a perfect example of a new breed of men.
The men who will one day make space travel as safe as walking to the corner store.
We've heard about enough of this! Stop the film! Colonel, I want to know the meaning of this.
So do I, general.
I flew in from Germany to see this film.
I don't know what the White House is gonna say.
I'll tell you what I say: I'm going to demand a congressional investigation and a formal court-martial, and you two are history.
I'm sorry.
Don't sit there, say something.
What do I say, sir? Major.
Yes, sir.
Uh, I know what you're thinking, and you're wrong.
Uh, I mean it's It's not what you're thinking.
[LAUGHS.]
Actually, what I mean is, if I could get to a phone I could explain.
There's one in the corner.
I, uh, beg your pardon? In the corner.
Yes.
Thank you very much.
Gentlemen, gentlemen, please be patient.
Uh, you'll be amused to hear how simple his explanation is.
[.]
It's too bad, uh, Tony isn't here on his anniversary to, uh, join in, in all the fun.
You would not leave me to celebrate our third anniversary with another woman.
Or our fourth.
Or our fourth.
Jeannie, if this is a proposal, I accept.
Why don't you whip up a nice chateau to get married in, and then maybe we can get about 12 beautiful bridesmaids [PHONE RINGS.]
Hello? Oh, hello.
Jeannie? I am sorry, master, but I am busy planning my wedding.
[PHONE CLICKS.]
[.]
Well, Major Nelson, what's holding you up? Nothing, sir.
It was the wrong number.
I'll try again.
Look, I don't want anything too elaborate.
Maybe a Caribbean cruise on my new yacht.
[PHONE RINGS.]
I wish he would stop interrupting.
I will tell him.
Jeannie, don't hang up.
I need you.
I am sorry, master, but I am very busy planning my honeymoon.
If you need help, ask Marion to do it.
Marion? Mm, eh What's Sergeant Marion got to do with it? How do you know about him? Him? Jeannie, uh, what's the matter with you? Oh.
Oh, I am sorry, master.
But I think I am on the wrong honeymoon.
Jeannie? Jeannie? What about our wedding? [CLEARS THROAT.]
Always a bridesmaid.
Well, Major Nelson, do you have an explanation or don't you? Well, sir, I'm afraid Master.
[QUIETLY.]
Jeannie? GENERAL: Well? Oh, master, how can you ever forgive me? I thought you and Marion were Never mind that, Jeannie.
Can you put the film back? And on our anniversary.
Oh, I will never forgive myself.
Well, we're waiting, Major Nelson.
Jeannie, can you fix the film? Oh, yes, master, I can fix it.
I think you better explain all this, Major Nelson.
Yes, of course, sir.
Uh, gentlemen, please, may I have your attention? Uh, I've just talked to Dr.
Eugene Oglethorpe, the chief of this project, and he explained the whole thing to me.
Dr.
Oglethorpe says that this room was wired in advance and all our reactions have been recorded to be studied later by NASA researchers.
Good.
Very good, major.
So if you would please take your seats we'll be able to show you the film you came to see.
I don't believe a word of that story, but I'll discuss it with you later.
Are you sure we're gonna see the proper film now? Absolutely, sir.
Mmm.
