[Loud Bang, Thumping]

What the hell's that?

Sh*t!

Flat tire on the Chaparral.

- Youre kidding me.

- Oh, Christ!

Guess what I forgot.

What?

You forgot the spare tire?

That's it, P.J.

Jesus Christ.

Hey!

[All Laughing]

Howdy, men.

Hey, Wes.

[Chuckling Continues]

How you doin, son?

- Have a flat?

- No, thanks. We already got one.

[Gary Laughs]

about America's greatest racing team?

Forgot to bring their spare tire?

No!

[Laughing]

Dig this!

The hot-sh*t FastCo outfit

We got one I think they can use.

I dont think they know

how to change it.

Hey, Meatball,

and give yourself a valve job?

- Sh*t-

- Hey, hey, hey!

Hey, hey, Mac, come on!

[Elder]

Come on, ladies. Come on.

Settle down.

Yeah. Hes on the fourth floor

taking a sauna bath

with seven geisha girls.

Right.

Stoner, I think we'd better

Okay.

Give me a call

when youre done.

[Elder]

That's mighty black of ya.

Give me a hand,

will ya?

Count me out.

What do you hear

from the Flintstones?

## [Stereo:
Country]

I gotta get Pacemaker

to make me up a rig like this.

Aw, you wouldnt like it.

Youre too used to vans.

Youd never be able

to handle it.

Yeah, maybe.

That was a hell of a crash

you took there at the Speedway, man.

Youre still lucky.

I walked away from it,

didnt I?

Yeah.

You must have got shaken up, man.

Playing with toy cars.

[Scoffs]

I saw the crash on TV.

it looked great.

How come you always know

where the camera is?

its just part of the game, Black.

## [Clicks On, Off]

Yeah, well, I wish you were

running funny cars, man,

'cause I'd get my picture in the paper

if I beat Mr. Big-time.

You know something, Gary?

I think you got your hands full with the Kid.

Brooker?

Come on, get serious.

He's a punk.

No, he's not.

He's good, and he's coming up fast,

and he could be number one.

I can tell.

Oh, yeah?

And what do you think

about Gary Black?

Come on.

Gary Black.

[Sighs]

Well, I think

he's doing all right.

But you think that, uh,

this is as far as I can go,

dont you?

I didnt say that.

You said that.

You didnt have to say it, man.

See ya, Lonnie.

Yeah. Thanks a lot, Stoner.

Ah, they're ready to roll.

You heard me.

David Paul Cronenberg, CC OOnt FRSC (born March 15, 1943) is a Canadian filmmaker, actor and author.
