[a biplane roars into the frame. Fade to the front page of the fictional New York Recorder: "ACE BOREMAN DUE SOON, CIRCLING THE WORLD WITHIN EIGHTY HOURS; FLYER NEARS NEW YORK; RECORD WELL IN HAND; SHIP STILL GOES WELL; Ace Boreman's world-circling airplane, Polly, passed over the liner Normandie at 8:00 o'clock..." Closeup on Ace and Stuffy in the cockpit, cut to a view of the southern tip of Manhattan, and back to the cockpit]
Ace Boreman: There she is!
'Stuffy' McInnes: [blankly] What "she" are you talkin' about? Don't tell me you see a dame this high up.
Ace Boreman: [laughing] I'm talking about New York.
'Stuffy' McInnes: [deadpan] Oh. Well, don't put skirts on it.
Ace Boreman: I guess there'll only be one girl in your life, eh Stuffy?
'Stuffy' McInnes: [puzzled] Yeah? Who's that?
Ace Boreman: This one: Polly.
'Stuffy' McInnes: Polly's different. She can't talk back.
[Polly rolls out of view as the scene fades to a ticker tape parade. Ace and Stuffy are in the back seat of an open touring car, waving at the throng, and covered with streamers and confetti]
Ace Boreman: I bet you never got this many cheers when you were a fighter, eh Stuffy?
'Stuffy' McInnes: Nah, all I ever heard was the referee countin'
Ace Boreman: And half the time you couldn't hear that.
Ace Boreman: [Stuffy gives him a dirty look] Wave to the free people, Stuffy.
'Stuffy' McInnes: ...I thought you was on the level
[with Janet]
'Stuffy' McInnes: .
Ace Boreman: On the level? Oh, you know me better than that, Stuffy. You know my motto: Feed 'em, fly 'em, and forget 'em.
[Ace doesn't realize that Janet has overheard this exchange]
Ace Boreman: [Janet flies Ace to her country cottage]
Ace Boreman: [as they enter the front gate] Nice place here.
Janet Steele: Think so?
Ace Boreman: Yeah, but I'm getting a little jealous.
Janet Steele: Why jealous?
Ace Boreman: I thought we were gonna be alone, and I find a flock of chickens to keep us company. Tell me, whaddya do with 'em, sweet?
Janet Steele: I've got a system all my own.
Ace Boreman: Oh, you have, huh?
Janet Steele: Mmm, hmm. I feed 'em, fry 'em, and forget 'em!
