To plant this Bug

in the possession of an innocent man

and accuse me of stealing it!

How dare you, sir!

Are you suggesting I would

stoop to such tactics?

That's exactly

what I'm suggesting!

In the first place, it might

interest you to know that

under normal circumstances,

I would never sell a car

to someone with whom I'm not,

shall we say,

socially compatible.

- You'd sell a car...

- Please! Let's not

go through that again.

I think we've worked

it out very well.

Mr Douglas needs a car,

and for a very low amount down...

and the usual monthly payments,

the car will become his.

Very well, even though my inclination

is to have Mr Douglas clapped into jail,

and this four-wheeled contrivance

dropped into the bay!

- I think Mr Thorndyke

is being very fair.

- Fair? It's not fair!

I'm being muscled! I want you to know

that I know it and I don't like it!

I'll draw up the papers.

Would you come

with me, please?

Then get Mr Douglas

and his acquisition out of here...

before I lose my temper!

What in...

What's the matter?

You from L.A. Or something?

- I thought we'd run over to that

new restaurant in Marin County.

Have you gone mad?

Okay.

What's the joke?

- What do you mean?

- I don't know how you rigged it,

- but I'm sure that car's a real cutup

when a convention comes to town.

- What in the name...

If I'd wanted a trick car

I would have bought one in a joke shop.

Allow me to say I haven't the slightest

idea what you're talking about.

You come blithering up in

that beastly little car...

and assault

my personal Rolls Royce!

I brought it back.

I want my money,

I want the papers I signed,

then I'll get out and you two clowns

can have your little laugh.

Mr Douglas, if there is

anything wrong with the car,

would you be good enough

to tell me what it is?

It's just that that it wants to go

one way and I'd like to go the other.

- Whatever it is, none of it

is covered in our guarantee.

- I'm sure of that.

- If you examine paragraph 12...

- Excuse me, Mr Thorndyke.

If I sold this gentleman the car

I feel a certain responsibility.

Do you mind if I try it?

Miss Bennett!

Our dinner engagement.

I won't be a minute.

Seems to be acting

all right now.

Sometimes new car owners have a tendency

to exaggerate their problems.

We get that all the time.

Believe me, when I was

in this car alone...

Just treat it gently at first.

It really is a fine automobile.

Have you had much

experience with cars?

Look, lady, by profession

I'm a racing driver.

Oh, that Jim Douglas.

What do you mean,

"That Jim Douglas"?

Let's see, two years ago

at Laguna Seca...

you spun out and hung a beautiful
