and work our way home.

- Maybe Aunt Louise'll bail us.

- You are a beautiful dreamer, DJ.

Wait a minute.

She says she likes cars.

And she's trying

to get her niece hooked up.

Yeah?

- No.

- Wait a minute.

All you gotta do is keep the Doc

enthralled with tales of derring-do...

...while I initiate Aunt Louise

into the delights of Formula One racing.

- I don't like it.

- Come on. Nothing good comes easy.

Lots of charm.

Lots of charm.

This is an exact replica,

down to the very last button...

...of the uniform worn by Lord Nelson

when he defeated the Spanish Armada.

- Seems like it belongs on me, doesn't it?

- I love a uniform.

It gives a man a certain...

- At ease, madam.

- Captain!

Excuse me, I must circulate

among the cargo... passengers.

Anyway, like I was saying, it's

the absolute thrill of a lifetime...

...when you finally see that car

that belongs to you...

...streak across

that finish line a winner.

Not only that, you are part

of the technological advancement...

...of the automotive world.

Really?

I wonder where the kids are?

Now isn't that...

They seem to be enjoying themselves.

Yeah, they're

really hitting it off.

Pete's a great guy.

He's what I call a beautiful person.

My kind of racing.

Pardon me. That's the third time

I've done that.

Who's counting?

I'm having a great time.

- Are you really?

- Yeah.

Usually, when we race, it means

towing the brute across Texas...

...in the middle of August

looking for a Denny's.

Then bedding down

in some fleabag motel.

Now, here I am...

...soft lights...

...sweet music...

...pretty girl.

Mr. Stanchek, you don't really

have to say those things.

I know. It's just that you're different

than other girls I've known.

I can well imagine.

No, it's a compliment.

For one thing, you don't giggle

when there's nothing funny.

And you listen when I talk. A man

looks a long way for a girl like that.

And...

You are pretty, Melissa.

This is it.

I just want to thank you

for this evening.

I really enjoyed myself.

Me too.

Well, goodnight.

Melissa?

- This is the pits.

- Did something go wrong?

We went wrong

when we got into this.

I don't like

playing games with people.

Come on. Just a couple more days.

I already got the money.

Aunt Louise gave me a cheque.

We got the car out of hock.

And get this, kiddo.

She is gonna sponsor us all the way.

We name it,

she buys it, no limit.

All you gotta do is keep

making like Burt Reynolds.

So that's the deal.

I sort of read it

between the lines.

The important thing is,

we're back in the running.

Nothing's gonna stop us now.

Hi!

The Captain sure was mad,
