Subject: Helicopter
From: Daniel McLaury

I was watching a WWII-era movie incarnation of "Brewster's Millions" (if 
you're not familiar with the plot, a man must spend $1,000,000 in two months 
in order to receive a much larger inheritance, while keeping the arrangements 
secret from everyone else.)  In one scene the dialogue goes something like 
this:

Brewster: I've rented out the top floor of the most expensive hotels in the 
city!
Brewster's Fiancee: Why, so you can land a helicopter on it?
Brewster:  That's a great idea!  Hey, get me a helicopter!
Brewster's valet: Would you like that with scotch or bourbon?
Business associate 1: Better make mine a double.
Valet: Doubles for everyone!
Business associate 2: I think I need a triple.
Valet: Triples for everyone!

Brewster is then seen drinking a "helicopter" out of a highball glass.

Question:  What is a helicopter?
