4 scenes
[at the South Seas Club, Jenny tries to get some air but somebody pulls her into the bushes. It's Cliff Secord posing as a waiter]

Are you out of your mind? What are you doing here?

Cliff Secord

Listen to me.

You're jealous.

Secord

I'm not jealous! Jenny, Bigelow's been murdered.

Murdered?

Secord

Remember the rocket we found? The people that are looking for it murdered Bigelow to get to me. Now they're after you. They have your picture, the one from the Gee Bee. Jenny, prepare yourself for a shock. [short breath] I'm the Rocketeer.

The Rocke-who?

Cliff Secord
[at the Griffith Observatory, Cliff is forced at gunpoint to give Neville Sinclair his rocket pack and spare Jenny's life]

What's it like working for a Nazi, Eddie? Huh? He pay you in dollars or deutschmarks?

[to Sinclair]

What's he talking about?

Secord

Oh I got it straight from the Feds, Eddie. Nazi spy ring, flying commandos, the works.

[laughs]

Kid's been flying where the air is too thin.

Ask him about the secret room. Ask him about the Germans on the radio.

Valentine henchman
[points Tommy gun at Lothar]

Relax, Frankenstein. You ain't bullet proof.

Talk fast, Sinclair.

Secord

You tell him, Eddie.

[to Cliff]

Shut up!

Come on, Eddie, I'm paying you well. Does it matter who I work for?

It matters to me. I may not make an honest buck, but I'm a hundred percent American. And I don't work for no two-bit Nazi. [points pistol at him and the mobsters follow] Let her go.

[laughs]

Sturm-Abteilung, angreifen!!! [SA commandos appear out of the bushes]

Everything about you is a lie.

It wasn't lies, Jenny... It was acting. [laughs evilly] I'll miss Hollywood. [launches in the rocket pack]

Cliff Secord

I don't think so.
[Barely feet from the airship, the rocket pack bursts into flames, sending Sinclair plummeting, screaming, into the Hollywoodland sign.]
