List of voters for the quote

Glenn Odekirk: We installed the 450 radial, but the struts won't take the vibration. Minute we go contact, the struts start craking at the attach points. Howard Hughes: Dammit, Odie, if the 450's too big, figure something else out! Glenn Odekirk: We've done everything - we've rebuilt her from top to bottom. If we drain the fuel tank for a couple of runs she might make 180 mph. Howard Hughes: I want minimum 200. Glenn Odekirk: Yeah, well, I want a date with Theda Bara, but that ain't gonna happen either. Howard Hughes: Don't be so sure... OK, OK, OK, this is a simple engineering problem. We just gotta think it out. Howard Hughes: So if the struts won't sustain the engine we need - then we gotta get rid of them. Glenn Odekirk: Then the top wing falls off. Howard Hughes: Then let it. Glenn Odekirk: What? Howard Hughes: Who says we need a top wing? Howard Hughes: Who says we need *anything*? Glenn Odekirk: A monoplane... Howard Hughes: A cantilevered monoplane. They're doing it in France. To the hell with the top wing and the struts... Glenn Odekirk: 550 Whitney Wasp engine... Howard Hughes: 100 octane fuel will give us a top horsepower of - what? Glenn Odekirk: Seven hundred. Howard Hughes: Squeeze it to a thousand and we got the fastest plane ever built. Glenn Odekirk: You know, I just gotta say... we've already spent over $200,000 rebuilding this plane. Howard Hughes: To the hell with it. Howard Hughes: Tear it up, Odie.
