The Snake and Mongoose Chronicles: Episode 1 Page #3

- Yeah.

You seen this?

You dig it?

There's really no need for all that

running off at the mouth, is there?

Now pay no mind to it.

It's just publicity.

No, don't get paint on it, dummy.

You think all this Mongoose

and Snake nonsense

is going to make any difference?

Not on the track, it won't,

but it might make us some dough.

Yeah, well, I say

let the cars do the talking.

Well, every time

they open their mouths,

it costs money, Don.

That's why we have sponsors, right?

Well, there's got to be

a lot more to it

than ma-and-pa gas stations

and a bunch of free parts here.

Well, I barely have enough time

to work on my car as it is.

I'm not going to go running

around, chasing down sponsors.

The way I see it is you got

to make the time, Don.

I win races.

Winning the money will follow.

Well, if it's that simple,

you got nothing

to worry about, partner.

Have a nice night in your shop.

Doing all right

Doing all right...

Hey. Yeah, Shelly.

Kelly.

Hey, Ed. Oh, all right. Hey, guys.

Glad you guys are here.

Thanks for coming out, huh?

Going to be a good day.

There you go.

I like that shirt.

Hey, all right. Thanks, Phil.

- Genius.

- Right?

Don't have much time for

a new paint job, do you, 'Goose?

Oh, this?

It does a great job

blocking nitro fumes.

- Let me see that.

- Nope.

Got to go, buddy.

And that's Tom "Mongoose" McEwen

out of the U.S. Nationals.

Tommy Ivo stays in there

all the way to win.

Now he'll need...

What the hell happened?

...Don Prudhomme,

the Top Fuel eliminator

at WinterNalionals in the finals.

You'll get him next time, buddy.

Yeah, whatever.

Well, I guess this is your chance

to go head-to-head with Ivo,

the celebrity.

Working for him was a nightmare.

Hey, revenge is a dish

best served with a cold, huh?

You don't mind

if I steal this, do you?

No, sure. Help yourself.

Ladies and gentlemen,

this year's final pits Prudhomme

against his former mentor,

"TV" Tommy Ivo.

She's winding up

and letting it fly

Over the line in the

blink of an eye...

Prudhomme gets the jump

this time and really lets it out,

hitting 207.33 miles per hour

in 7.5 seconds.

What a finish!

Don Prudhomme, Top Fuel eliminator

at the WinterNationals

and now at the Nationals,

is truly the Top Fuel

eliminator in the nation.

Ladies and gentlemen...

You want to take a picture

of me and my husband?

- Sure thing, Ms. Prudhomme.

- ...and his lovely wife Lynn.

Let's give him a well-deserved

round of applause.

One, two...

- Whoo!

- Three, four!

I just want to celebrate

Another day of living

I just want to celebrate

Another day of life

Put my faith in the people

But the people let me down

So I turn the other way
