The Snake and Mongoose Chronicles: Episode 1 Page #4

Synopsis: Frankie and Mike, two car fanatics, set out for a long drive through the desert to reach the Barrett Jackson auction in Las Vegas. Frankie tries to race his 67 Dodge Dart and ends up breaking down half way there. The pair orders the replacement part they need from ebay motors and plan to meet "Joey" with the part in a town called Calico. Calico is a desolate ghost town, and Frankie and Mike fin themselves at odds over cokes, hot wheels, and women. They mainly argue about who was the fastest drag racer, Don "The Snake" Prudomme or Tom "The Mongoose" McEwen. Their very relationship embodies the competitive spirit these two racers had and currently maintain today. After a quick face off outside a saloon, the two continue their journey through the desert to Vegas.

And I carry on anyhow

That's why I'm telling you

I just want to celebrate,

yeah, yeah

Another day of living

- Yeah

- I just want to celebrate

Another day of life

Had my hand on the dollar bill

And the dollar

bill blew away...

But the sun is shining

down on me

And it's hereto stay

That's why I'm telling you

I just want to celebrate

Yeah, yeah,

another day of living

Yeah

I just want to celebrate

Another day of living

Yeah, I just want to celebrate

Another day of life

Don't let it all

Get you down, no, no,

don't let it turn you around

Round and around and around...

That's the funniest-looking

Barracuda I ever saw.

Look where the wheels are.

Yeah, that's why

they call 'em funny cars.

Mongoose, can I have

your autograph?

- Yeah, me too.

- Oh, my God, that's Mongoose.

Yeah, of course you guys can.

There you are. There you are.

All right, you tell your friends

to cheer for the Mongoose now.

- Bye.

- Bye.

See you.

Hoo! Almost like you're invisible.

U.S. Nationals champion,

you've been in magazines.

- The fans just walk on by.

- Yeah, yeah.

You got to do some P.R., baby.

No, that's your thing.

It's not my thing.

Count the number

of Mongoose Ts out there

compared to the number of Snake Ts.

Snake Ts are for crew.

That's different.

Exactly. All three of 'em?

Oh, there must be 100

Mongoose shirts out there.

I know. I drank way too much.

Oh, my God, you're human.

- Very funny.

- Huh.

You still hell-bent on driving

this suicide machine, huh?

Pick your poison.

Better get used to it too,

'cause the crowd loves funny cars,

ergo sponsors love 'em.

"Ergo"? What the hell's an ergo?

Um, it's in "The Jungle Book."

How you doing?

Oh, I like that T-shirt.

Look at that.

We're finally here, folks,

the last race of this glorious

event at Famoso Raceway.

Don "The Snake" Prudhomme

beats Gary Ritter

with a 6.92, 229-mile-an-hour run.

Prudhomme is our top eliminator.

I'll never understand why you

starve yourself out there all day.

Too much work to do.

I'm way too nervous for that.

Okay, what is going on

with you today?

Nothing.

Just looking at Judy and her boys

and all those kids at the track.

Babe, come on.

It's fine.

I was just saying I know

you're going to be a great mom,

all right, but we got to think

about the big picture here.

My gig is dangerous,

and you know that,

so what if something

happens to me, you know?

A lot of drivers

have families, Don.

I don't want to miss out

on that with you

because we're afraid of something

that might not happen.

Yeah, well, having a kid

costs money.

- I know that.

- All right? We have no idea.

So let's get an idea.
