Breaking Away Page #6

I don't want to race.

You go!

Get on the bike!

[ Sigma #1 ]

lt's ours now. lt's our race.

[ Sigma #2 ]

We got it.

Get going!

We got a lead!

No one is going.

The other rider is standing

in the pit holding the bike.

Get out there, Mike!

Get on the bike!

The little guy's getting on the bike!

You okay?

What's the matter?

What happened?

[ Sigma #1 ] I don't believe it!

[ Laughing ]

As a result

of that terrible exchange...

the Cutter team

has dropped from the lead.

The Sigma Tau Omega team

has regained the lead.

The Cutter team has fallen

into second position.

Here comes another team

challenging and has passed the Cutters.

The Cutters have fallen

into third place.

Try as they may,

they seem to be losing ground.

Dave Stohler has been taken-

[ Cheering ]

Let's go!

Well, Ev, he tried.

Even the announcer said he tried.

It's all over.

[ Man ]

Let's go!

Help!

Nice try, kid.

The lead team has just completed 170

of these 200 laps.

There are only 30 laps remaining.

The Sigma Tau Omega team

looks unbeatable.

Although many things can happen,

as we've already seen today...

things can change like the wind. Stay on

this side of the bike. The other side.

Bring it in!

Go, you cutter, go!

[ Man ]

Move out. Move out.

The Cutters made an exchange. They

now have a new man on the bike.

He's been doing a very good job.

He has moved the Cutters

into fourth position.

Ana' appears to be moving enough to make

a serious challenge for third position.

We'II have to wait and see

if this is able to happen.

We're not doing too bad.

This once again points out

the fact that this is a team effon'.

One man may fall back,

another may be exceptional...

but sometimes when you're down another

man can pick up ground that you've lost.

This appears to be

what's happening here.

- We showed those shitheads.

- Showed them what?

Come on, Mike! Bring it in!

Come on!

It appears even with the injury,

Dave Stohler- [ Indistinct]

It appears

he may be getting back on the bike.

Dave Stohler is back

on the bike.

But his teammates are taping

his feet to the pedals.

This is perfectly legal...

but it does mean he will not be able to

exchange for the remainder of the race.

The next 15 laps

he must ride by himself.

Pick it up!

Pick it up!

Pick it up!

He's back in the race!

He has dropped from fourth

into fifth position.

There are only 15 more laps

remaining.

Go, son! Go, damn you!

It remains to be seen if Dave will be

able to close up the gap.

[ Muttering, Indistinctly]

You'll get on the bike when he does.

Stay behind him till the third turn.

Yeah! Yeah!

One hundred ninety six completed.

The Cutters, team number 34,

now in second place.

They have completed 198 laps.

198 laps!

Still leading, Sigma Tau Omega,

team number 1.

[Crowd Chanting ]

Go, go, go, go, go, go!

And here comes your leader now

through turn number four.

Coming down to take

the white flag!

One lap to 90-'

It's a duel between

Sigma Tau Omega and Cutters...

team number 1

and team number 34...

as they battle it out

through the last lap.

[Crowd Shouting ]

Go! Go! Go! Go!

[Announcer] Teams number 7 and 34

battling it out neck-and-neck...

as they come down the short stretch.

Half a lap to go.

They're going into turn number three.

Number 1, still leading.

34 coming up

very close on the inside!

Here they go for the checkered flag!

And 34 wins!

[ Indistinct]

All right!

And now, this is what

you have been waiting for.

The winning team,

from Bloomington, Indiana...

the winner of the Little 500-

The Cutters!

[ Shouts ]

Bye.

See you later.

The Union?

[ In French Accent]

Pardon.

Do you know where

is the Office of the Purser?

You must mean

the Bursar's Office.

Uh, oui Bursar.

I was thinking of taking French,

but it's my first year.

Have you ever seen Le

Tour de France? No.

No'? Mon dieu!

[ French Accent]

The French riders, they're the best!

Hiya, big shot!

Bonjour, Papa!

the cream and crimson I
