"London, Germany, Japan... Hulett here has got it all lined up," Jerry told Elvis and Priscilla, as he handed them both a blueprint of a jet plane. "Air Presley's new wings."

The Presley family, Cimorelli family, and Jerry were sitting in the living room. The Cimorelli girls were keeping Lisa Marie entertained, while the guys watched TV, and Priscilla and Elvis was talking with Jerry. Jerry had brought in Mike Hulett, a potential new manager for Elvis Presley.

"Well, screw him. You've got the plane now. You should use it," said Hulett.

"Yeah, come to Daddy," smiled Elvis, who picked Lisa Marie up. "You having a good time with your aunts?"

"Maybe we should call it the 'Lisa Marie,'" suggested Priscilla.

"That's a beautiful name," said Jerry.

"Right?" asked Priscilla.
