south...

and my North.

That's the trouble. I'm Johnny

North... in a pad like this.

Oh, what difference

does a place make?

Plenty. I'm a mechanic.

That's all.

You're a nut.

That's what you are.

I'm a mechanic. I've got good

reflexes, so... they let me drive.

I love your reflexes.

No, I mean it now.

I got grease under my fingernails,

I got calluses on my rump...

and I got a wallet that

wouldn't make a down payment.

Nobody's asking you to.

You're a nut. We're both nuts.

Say I win the race. I still end up

with less money than a plumber.

Are you kidding?

You should do so good.

What's the sales

tax on this place?

Forget it.

It's none of your business.

Isn't it?

Will you stop talking about it?

Where is the money coming from?

Say I inherited it. Or maybe

I'm a member of the jet set.

Do you think I give a damn

about all this?

I've lived in a walk-up.

How do you feel about me?

You don't know?

I want to hear it.

I love you. I love you.

'Good afternoon,

ladies and gentlemen,

'and welcome to the first running of the

Western Grand Prix for sports cars.

'This promises to be a very exciting race.

We have a tremendous crowd.

'Over 100,000 people

out here with us today.

'The cars are now on

their final laps of practice.

'Tremendous action in the pits,

'and we're very fortunate

the weather is good for us.

'We've got a good sunny day

and very, very minute winds.

'We should have some good action,

'because the winds certainly

can hamper the cars...

'if they're blowing

at 20 or 30 miles an hour.

'People just jammed

all over this raceway.

'Still a few cars left

on their final practice laps.

'And we certainly know that this

will present some of the finest drivers

'from all over the world,

driving equally capable machinery.

'We've got Cobras,

Ferraris, Maseratis,

'Coopers, Lotuses.

'Some of the finest cars.'

Great. Maybe you can catch

a few winks during the race.

I never felt better.

In the last four days, what have

you had, seven hours sleep?

Pop, you worry too much.

Who's worrying?

I drop 15 grand every day or so.

- You know why we're gonna win this one?

- Outside of the car, clue me.

Because my share of $15,000 is just

exactly enough to get married on.

'It is virtually impossible to

make a pass as these cars...'

Hi.

Where's your tool kit

and your oil can?

You do dig racing, don't you?

No. Just racers and winners.

From a devoted fan.

"Johnny, the winner."

It's a little early, isn't it?

To be honest, I wasn't thinking

about the race when I had it engraved.

Never mind saying thank you.

Just kiss me, you fool.

'...down to the finish line,

which would complete the first lap.
