[first lines] Peevy: [as they bring the Gee Bee out for its maiden flight] Keep her straight, keep her level. It's your first time up, so don't do anything interesting. Cliff Secord: Who, me? Peevy: And remember, she stalls out at about a hundred. So keep the air speed up. Otherwise, you're gonna be drifting around all over the sky. And if the ailerons start to shimmy... Cliff Secord: Peevy, I have flown a plane or two in my life. Peevy: Not like this one, you haven't. This one's... This one's a handful. You sneeze in this thing and you're gonna end up upside-down in the bean field. [walking past the tail of the Gee Bee, Cliff takes some chewed-up gum from his mouth and puts it on the rudder] Peevy: That's fresh paint, dammit! Cliff Secord: You want me to crash? Peevy: Chewing gum ain't gonna keep your butt up in the air. [Cliff gets into the cockpit of the Gee Bee] Peevy: You treat her nice, Clifford. She's gonna take us all the way to the nationals.
