You'll be proud of us.

-Super.

-Way cool. It's wicked!

I hear white flames are hot.

Yeah!

-What's underneath?

-A 16-valve. You'll love it.

Have a look.

Forged rods, a short block

with oversized valves. It's chipped,

it's got a super charge.

With the nitro, you'll be strapped

to a rocket on wheels.

Just don't lift off,

cause you'll fly!

It's cool.

But...

It's perfect, thanks.

I don't know how I'll pay you back.

Why? Come on,

a son never owes his dad nothing!

I'd never have asked you

if it wasn't an emergency.

Look, kid...

I'm glad that you need me.

I've always tried to help you

in my own way.

My way may not be yours, but...

You understand? I always tried.

Thanks a lot, Dad.

It's great.

Do you have that address?

That address...

Where the kids are racing

tonight.

-Dad, look, nitro!

-Move.

Don't touch anything.

This is the place you want.

Careful, you haven't raced

in a while.

Don't tempt the devil,

he's hungry.

Thanks for taking Theo

a few nights.

We'll have fun.

We'll race go-karts.

Go-karts, cool!

-We'll see if you're as fast as Max.

-Julien.

Right, Julien.

Start her up.

Wait till you hear her purr.

Not bad, huh?

Who're you?

It's a private party.

For the cover charge...

and a few drinks.

O.K.

Follow me.

I dunno if you know,

it's $2000 a race.

-You in?

-It's all good.

-Watch this, I'll pay you $50 a race.

-$200.

Get me races.

I'll trust you with my cash.

I'll pay you $100 a race.

O.K.

Billy!

Billy! Billy!

That's Max.

The champ.

He crashed and dropped outta sight.

Thank you.

That's your wad.

Well, you see,

nobody else wants to bet.

What?

By the way,

I'm Fanfreluche.

I'll bet 5 on the next race.

Let's go!

Sorry, I'm not sure I can get 5.

Sh*t!

What is this? Nobody wants to bet?

Why'd you buy those cars?

Is this a fashion show or a duel?

Are you pilots or wimps?

Next race, 5 grand. 5 thou!

I'll give $10 grand to anyone

who beats me. Any takers?

-Yo!

-What?

Haven't you had enough?

Lay off. Tired of me already?

Get me a can of nitro.

Not now!

O.K., hand over the cash.

Max! That's your name, isn't it?

Who asked you? Gimme the cash.

Just a minute.

She's not the boss here.

That money belongs to us.

I won that money,

go screw yourself!

Don't you feel lonely in your film?

Who do you think you are, Mad Max?

Come on, he hasn't got a chance.

Exactly, so beat it

before we get angry.

Anyone else? Who's next?

Gimme my cash!

My cash!

Give him his money!

Here it is.

You're sick!

You O.K., Max?

Julien, Dad. My name's Julien.

You named me that, remember?

Yeah, it's true.

I just can't get used to it.

Anyway, your mom chose that name,

not me.
