and slur your speech.

- It's illegal.

- Totally illegal.

Wouldn't know what it looks like.

Yeah, you were saying?

That substance was found in the tank

of the fifth-place qualifier, Fonzarelli.

Illegal fuel intake is an automatic DQ.

(STAMMERS)

Wait, so you're saying...

He's out, you're in. Congratulations.

- You're in?

- Hmm.

He's in!

(WHISTLES)

You're never going to believe this.

He's in!

Dusty's in the race! Dottie, he's in!

What? Are you serious?

Whoo! Dusty.

DOTTIE:
Don't do anything crazy.

Fly safe.

Man, it's going to be cool.

You're going to cross oceans

thousands of miles wide.

Freezing your rudder off one day...

- And burning it off the next!

- Freaking hurricanes.

- Cyclones!

- Typhoons!

- Monsoons!

- Tornadoes!

- Sandstorms!

- Gale force winds!

Yeah! (WHOOPING)

Hmm. (SIGHS)

SKIPPER:
Bad idea.

You'll end up a smoking hole

on the side of a mountain

with your parts

spread over five countries.

What makes you say that?

You're going up against

the best racers in the world.

And some of them don't even finish.

You're sloppy on your rolls,

wide on your turns,

slow on your straightaways.

You've been watching me?

Yeah, watching you

make a fool out of yourself.

You need to be tighter getting

in and out of your knife-edge.

Okay.

Any extra control input

costs you speed and seconds.

- So, you think I'm overcorrecting?

- Absolutely. Rookie mistake.

Are you giving me pointers?

No! I'm telling you to forget

all this racing malarkey.

You just ain't built for it.

You're a crop duster!

You don't think I know that?

I'm the one who's been

flying back and forth

across the same fields day after day,

month after month, for years!

I have flown thousands of miles

and I have never been anywhere.

Not like you.

You were built to fight,

and look what you did!

You're a hero.

I'm just trying to prove

that maybe, just maybe,

I can do more than what I was built for.

(SIGHS)

You know what? Just forget it.

You'll never understand.

0500, tomorrow. Don't be late.

Wait. 0500?

Yeah, 5:
00 a.m.

(ROOSTER CROWING)

(SPARKY HUMMING)

- Sparky, binoculars.

- (BLOWING)

Those are some

mighty clean optics, there.

What do you use?

Some kind of shammy?

- Oh, no, it's a special microfiber cloth.

- Ah. Microfiber.

Yeah, lint-free, scratch-free.

I'll get you some.

I got an ex-Navy buddy

who sells them to me wholesale.

I helped him set up his web...

Knock it off. We got a lot of work to do.

- (WHISPERS) I'll hook you up.

- Thanks.

SKIPPER:

All right, Dusty, remember this.

It ain't how fast you fly,

it's how you fly fast.

- Roger that.

- Show me what you got.

DUSTY:
Watch this! Oh, yeah.
