Talladega Nights: The Ballad Of Ricky Bobby Page #5

Synopsis: NASCAR stock car racing sensation Ricky Bobby is a national hero because of his "win at all costs" approach. He and his loyal racing partner, childhood friend Cal Naughton Jr., are a fearless duo -- "Shake" and "Bake" by their fans for their ability to finish so many races in the #1 and #2 positions, with Cal always in second place.

They're winners.

Winners get to do what they want.

Hell, you're just a bag of bones.

Only thing you ever done with your life

is make a hot daughter.

That's it. That is it!

We wanted us some wussies...

...we would've named them Dr. Quinn

and Medicine Woman, okay?

I work too hard for your bull, Chip.

Come here.

You make me hot. Come here.

Everyone just keep eating.

-It's on.

-Come here. Come here.

All right.

I'll hold your hair.

-Hey, Stephen.

-Hey, Ricky.

Got those two tickets

for my speciaI friend?

Yeah, sure do. You know I do, Ricky.

Got them right here, buddy.

Great. Hey,

how's your mama's hip?

She's gonna be all right,

thank you for asking.

-Appreciate it. Hey, good luck today.

-Thanks.

That's the saddest thing

I've ever seen in my life.

That boy leaves two tickets

for his daddy at every race...

...and he never shows up.

That's a shame.

The human heart is such a mystery.

-Let's sell these b*tches, huh?

-Hell, yeah.

-Beer money, huh?

-There you go. Yes.

As the laps wind down,

Jamie McMurray is the leader.

CaI Naughton in second.

Ricky Bobby in third.

What's up, Cal? You ready

for a little Shake-and-Bake-age?

-Hey, buddy.

-Naughton Jr. is letting Ricky Bobby...

...draft up to him to make

that slingshot move past McMurray.

Can you believe that he would do that

for his teammate?

Set him up that way?

Slingshot, engage.

And there goes Ricky Bobby

on the outside!

That's how we do it.

Makes his move.

Naughton's giving him plenty of room.

What in the hell is he doing, guys?

Get him off of me.

They touch! They spin!

Snap!

Come on, man!

See you, wouldn't wanna be you.

Look at that! Ricky Bobby's gonna

try to win the race in reverse.

Man, he wants this win bad!

Ricky Bobby wins it in reverse!

Unbelievable!

I love that! That is cool!

Jamie, losing's never fun, but here's

something to pick your spirits up.

It's reaI nice.

I got it at Target. It's on sale.

Yeah!

-That's it. Another one. Another one.

-All right, man. We did it!

I don't wanna be raining on

your parade, but I gotta tell you...

...that was some of the dumbest driving

I have ever seen in my life.

-Thank you.

-And I know you won the race...

...but you're not gonna live forever.

I'm not stupid, Lucius.

No one lives forever. No one.

But with advances in modern science

and my high level of income...

...I mean, it's not crazy to think

I can't live to be 2 45, maybe 300.

I just read in the newspaper they

put a pig heart in some Russian guy.

Know what--? I mean,

do you know what that means?

No, I don't know what that means.

I guess, longer life.

-Well, no, he didn't live.

-He didn't live?

No. It's just exciting
