Buick Special on the back fence.

At Willow Springs,

a year ago last February,

you sprayed a Lotus

all over the infield.

How do you know all that?

I have trouble

with names and faces,

but I never forget a car.

I like good machinery.

Now, why don't you give

this little car a fair chance.

You bought it; enjoy it.

You can drive me back now.

What about it, dad?

Want to give that doodle bug a workout?

I'll go easy on ya.

Be serious, will ya?

- Did you see this thing take off?

- One of your showboat tricks.

I tell you, I had nothing to do with it.

Hey, we were turning.

Outta sight, man.

I wouldn't have believed it.

Groovy, pop. Groovy.

As long as the customer

finally seems pleased,

I'll just step out

and find myself a taxi.

Will you stop the car, please?

I'm trying!

Look!

It's just like I told you.

This thing's starting to act up again.

How very odd. When I was driving there

was no problem whatsoever.

I can't seem to do

anything with it!

Mr Douglas, I'm asking you nicely

to pull over and let me out!

Look, I'm sorry about your date,

I really am.

I didn't want you to miss

your dinner engagement.

What's the rush, tiger?

We got all night.

Goodbye, Mr Douglas.

Here, I'll help you.

I can get out, thank you.

What'll it be, chief?

Would you mind helping the lady

get her car door open?

Look, I'm busy.

And I ain't no mechanic.

All I do is sell food,

and that ain't too good.

You want somethin' or don't ya?

- Help!

- Two hamburgers and a coffee.

Help!

Can you help me, please?

Help! I'm a prisoner!

I can't get out!

We all prisoners,

chickie baby.

We all locked in.

Mmm.

A couple of weirdos, Guinevere.

What? Wait a minute.

Hold it, hold it.

Let me open the door.

Hey, knock it off,

will ya, sis?

I ain't sayin' this is

the classiest joint in town,

but we gotta draw

the line somewhere.

Come on,

back in your seat.

Why don't you go

up to Seabreeze Point?

- Fuzz don't bother you much up there.

- Thanks.

I wish there were some way

I could make up for those hamburgers.

Mr Douglas, please

don't go on about it.

I'm sure that if I were driving none

of these things would have happened.

It's all yours.

Now I think you'll

see what's what.

This is very embarrassing.

Yes, it is.

- I would have preferred knowing

you a little longer first.

- Just a minute!

- You don't think I drove

you here on purpose.

- Don't try to explain.

- The point is you brought me here.

- I did not bring you here!

It's this nasty little car.

- But you said yourself

it's a very nice little car.

- And as you said,

it does have some

peculiar traits.

And I agree with you completely.

- Bring it in tomorrow
