And besides I'd rather stay here

and help you!

Well, hey, that's so...

Oh boy, that's sweet.

That's, that's, uh,

that's sweet, but you know,

you know what?

Boy, that's... that's tough.

That's a... that's a tough call.

You know, 'cause, I mean, as much as

I'd like you to stick around here

and, um, help me out, you know,

I know how...

important it is for you

to get out there and...

play with your buddies and...

besides we're not even

to the fun stuff yet.

So... so... so...

how much is it for a...

for a movie?

What's the...

it's, uh, it's $8.

$8,... take, uh...

Take... take that, take that,

and you go have a good time.

Yeah.

You know what,

this is too much, Dad.

I don't want your money.

I just want to stay here

and help you.

No no no,

I don't want you here!

I mean, I want you to go, I do.

I want you to go.

I want...

Here, you take... take this,

and here's a 20.

Here's a 20, and you take that,

and you have fun

with your friends, now go!

Yeah.

That's gonna be a good time.

Yeah, now, go on, go on.

Go, go, go, go, go.

Yeah!

It worked!

You're a genius!

Let's go!

" Make and break the world

record that is set ."

" You know

they'll never forget ."

" Don't underestimate him yet ."

" Because he will succeed

to fill his need for speed"

" it's like a never-ending convo

about insatiable greed ."

Finally!

Finally, we're getting some place

with these numbers.

This is good.

Phil!

Could you come to bed?!

It's 4:
00 in the morning.

Yeah.

Just one...

one second.

I just got two more runs,

and then I'll be right there.

Am I missing something?

I mean, aren't you allowed

to only race

one Pinewood Derby car?

Oh, yeah, yeah.

But according to

the Pinewood Derby Bible,

if you want to win,

you've gotta build a bunch of cars.

And sooner or later,

you come up with that fluke,

that for no logical reason just...

is faster then the rest.

So, see, I'm...

And how fast does that

have to be, Phil?

Well, the all-time world record

is 3.11275 secs.

There is a Pinewood Derby

world record?

Yeah.

Okay, uh, Phil, I'm gonna try

and go back to sleep now!

Yeah, yeah, you go to sleep.

Do you think you could

turn off the light?

Oh!

Yeah, yeah, sure.

Yep.

No, no, no!

Blaine!

I thought you

were coming to bed.

I was.

But it looks like I've still

got some more work to do.

" He'll be the last man standing."

" He'll be number one."

" He'll be the first car to finish."

" When the race is won."

I think I can do it.

Yeah.

You guys come on, lets go!

Hey, Phil!

Hey.

Hey, yeah.

What, uh, what's up?

Oh, we're just gonna take out

the new ATV's.

Oh!

Oh, wow, yeah.

Where... where'd

you get those?

Oh, there was

a little contest at work,

and they were first prize.

Oh, you...

that's, well, that's... that's good...

Good for you, that's...

Hey, how's your boy

doing with his

Pinewood Derby car?

Derby?

Oh! Yeah, oh, that,

uh, that... that little,

the little Derby, yeah.

Yeah, you know, I've been so...

I've just been swamped at work.

I just landed

a very, uh, a very

prestigious, uh, campaign.

I haven't even asked him.

What about your little guy?

Bless his little heart,

he is trying so hard.

Little stinker won't even

let me help him.

Says he's got to do it

all by himself.

And I said, "Okay."

Yeah, well, that's, uh,

that's the way

it's supposed to be.

Man, it's so fun watching these

kids grow up, isn't it?

Yeah, oh, it's...

yeah, it is, it's a ball.

Hey, Phil, I gotta run.

Good luck with

that campaign, okay?

On the camp...

Oh, the... the, yeah,

the thing, that's, uh, yeah.

Well, thank you very much.

And you guys have a good time

on those, um, tractors, there.

Okay... yeah.

Hi, Dad!

Hey, buddy!

Oh, wow!

That looks fun.

This is anything but fun.

But if it helps you win

the Derby, Danny,

it's all my pleasure.

What are "big dogs" for, right?

Right!

So, uh, can I...

can I help, Dad?

Um...

don't you and your buddies

have something going on?

Yeah...

They want me to go to lunch

with them and maybe the city pool

and even the water slides.

But I'd rather stay here

and help you.

You know what?

You're going to have to wait.

I'm out of cash,

and I don't have time to go to the bank.

How about

you give me your ATM card and...

My ATM card.

Yeah, right

I'm just kiddin', Dad.

Can I, can I help, Dad, please?

Okay.

My ATM card is in my wallet

on my dresser.

The PIN number is 40...

24...

Got it?

Got it.

Thanks, Dad!

You got it.

The doctor will be right with you.

Just another moment.

The doctor will be right with you.

Need more water.

Give me that number two.

More water.

Suction.

Is this your first one, Doctor?

Right, I've never done this before.

And the manual is unclear

on how to do most of this stuff.

Oh, shoot!

I took off too much there.

Water.

Well, let's don't drown it, please.

All right.

Girls, if you're not

gonna take this seriously,

I'll get Maxine in here.

Okay.

That's enough, you guys.

You're excused.

Thank you.

Hi, Dad!

Are we at the fun stuff yet?

Thanks, Dad!

Uhh...

Coming, coming!

Hello.

Kim? It's Larry.

Where is Phil?

I have been trying

to call there all day.

Have you tried him on his cell?

He's got it turned off!

He didn't come in today?

No!

He was supposed

to be here at 9:
00.

And, tell you the truth,

I'm getting a little nervous,

because I've turned over

the biggest deal of my life

to Phil!

The Yakimoto campaign.

He's told you about it?

Yeah, of course.

Oh, hi, Mom.

Well, you know Phil.

Once he's onto something,

that's all he thinks about.

For Phil's sake,

I hope you're right.

Really, Larry, you know you have

nothing to worry about with Phil.

Kim?

Kim.

Kim!

Larry?

Yeah, I'm gonna have Phil call

ya as soon as he gets back.

Okay, then.

Phil!

Your dad gave you

his ATM card too?

Yeah.

He was all out of cash.

So, uh...

how much you taking?

Mm... I don't know.

You guys...

I don't know if this

is such a good idea.

Hey, look...

Our dads are robbing us

of our very first

Pinewood Derby.

What's that worth?

A lot!

Yeah!

Holy cow!

Sweet.

Oh, yeah.

Let's go.

Ow!

Oh!

Oh!

What was that?

Uh, sorry.

Sorry, sorry, sorry,

sorry, sweetheart.

It's a... a car.

A car derailed.

What?

Uh, the... the car,

it jumped the track.

It... it derailed.

But don't worry.

It can be fixed.

It'll just...

take me a second.

Phil, you're getting

sawdust on me.

Oh.

Oh, here, here, here sweetie.

Here, take... take that.

Put, put that on your,

on your...

Take your time.

Look, Robbie, you tell.

He has gone way beyond

the fun stuff now!

I gotta go.

Mr. Savage, you have

someone here to see you.

I didn't think I had

any appointments this morning.

You do now.

Oh, jeez.

Whoa, hah.

Hi, honey.

Hey.

Any idea what today is?

Uh... not really.

June 12th.

Does that ring a bell?

Sweetheart,

the Pinewood Derby is on the 15th.

Oh!

Oh!

Whoa!

Hey, hey, hey!
