Down and Derby Page #4

Give me the towel,

give me the towel!

Jeez, jeez!

What happened?

I was just blow-drying my hair!

Kim, I told you to blow dry

your hair

in the other bathroom!

You could have

set the track on fire!

I mean, look at this mess!

Yes!

Look at this mess!

And don't you dare try

to blame that on me!

It's your fault.

You have enough wattage

in here to light up Las Vegas.

I'm outta here.

W-w-w-wait, what do you mean

you're "outta here"?

Where are you going?

I'm going to my parents' house.

I'm gonna blow dry my hair.

I'm gonna get some sleep.

And I'm gonna have

someone to talk to.

Mom, Dad, you just wait till

you see what Danny got!

It's so cool.

Brady, I want you

to go pack a suitcase!

Oh...

Why?

Because we're going

to your grandparents' for a few days.

Do we have to?

Yes, Brady, we have to.

But, Mom I wanna

stay here and help Dad

with the Pinewood Derby.

Brady!

Your dad doesn't want any help

with the Pinewood Derby!

That's not true!

I... I'm... I'm doing this

to help Brady

win this thing!

As soon as we get

to the fun stuff,

I'm... I'm gonna need him.

See, Mom?

Brady, move!

But, Mom!

Look, you don't understand!

I can't afford to go to grandma's.

Brady, go!

Mom...

if you think for one minute

that I'm doing all of this for me,

then think again!

I am doing this for Brady!

For Brady?!

That's right, for Brady!

I... I don't want him growing up

in the cold shadow

of Ace Montana's kid.

Oh, Phil!

Gimme a break!

This isn't about Brady!

This is all about you!

Mm!

And by the way...

happy anniversary!

Anniversary.

Oh, jeez!

Mother hates rats!

The two of you should get along

just fine!

Hey, Brady.

I'm not gonna need

this anymore.

Wow!

See, I was gonna keep it

and buy a bike like Danny's,

but I couldn't do it.

Why not?

Because Mom says

you're going through

a hard time right now,

and you're gonna need that.

Because you're probably

gonna get axed from your job

and never work again.

Brady, come now!

Look, I gotta go, okay?

You call me when you get

to the fun stuff,

all right, Dad?

Dad!

Okay?

Oh, yeah.

Yes, I will.

All right, I love you, Dad.

Okay, man.

I love you too.

Coming, Mom!

All right, bye.

Yeah... well...

A rat...

Larry!

Kim!

Oh, oh, come in, come in.

These are the, uh,

Yakimotos.

This is, uh,

Uno Yakimoto.

And this is his son,

Kyoshi Yakimoto.

Uh...

nice to meet you.

Uh, I thought they weren't

supposed to be here

till next week.

Yeah, well, it's, um...

kind of a surprise.

Oh, yeah,

Phil's gonna be surprised.

Phil!

Phil!

Phil!

You have company.

My name is Claude...

it's Larry.

And the Derbymotos.

Yakimotos.

Now, I'm sorry I can't stay.

I gotta go.

But I want you

to have a wonderful day.

Okay?

As you can see, Phil has been

working on the campaign,

day and night.

Have fun.

Bye!

See ya later, sweetheart!

Have a good day!

She's...

Put it down right there.

Hi.

Hello.

Let me just get down.

Hi!

Oh boy, it's...

Gee, it's great to meet you.

The Yakimotos

are here to hear

about your progress

on their campaign.

Well...

Phil, if I didn't know better,

I would say you were working

on the Pinewood Derby.

But, Mom, I want to stay here

and help Dad

with the Pinewood Derby!

But, I want to help Dad

with the Pinewood Derby!

No!

Mom!

Danny, get in the car!

I wanna help Dad

with the Derby.

Danny, get in the car!

Come on, Phil.

Tell 'em

what you've got in mind.

Let us know your plan.

We'd love to hear your plan, Phil!

Well, I, um...

I've been...

a lot of different ideas.

But, um... well,

This...

this little device...

See!

This little device.

No, no, I got it, Lar.

It's, um, this has

revolutionized the world.

Mm-hmm.

It's made us more efficient,

more productive,

more competitive.

And it's made us, uh, more

of all of these things.

Because...

life has become...

Uh...

Rat race.

Life has become

a rat race!

This is a little um...

F-follow me, yes.

Yeah, under the...

Yeah, come on, under the...

Yeah, right here.

Just right under here.

And then there's one more.

There you go.

Then right up over here.

Oh...

That musta hurt.

Yes sir, come on.

Larry, come on, buddy.

It's, one more, Lar, just right under here.

Join us.

Oh, watch your head.

This is... I've done

most of the creative,

uh... work...

here, uh, uh...

Mr. Yakimoto, may I see your...

your cell phone

for a moment?

Oh, he... he...

For you, well.

Could you give me a...

a minute here?

Talk amongst yourselves,

I'll just be a second.

Okay, here...

Phil?

Just one second.

You guys baseball fans?

'Cause I... I love the game.

It's... it's big over there,

isn't it, where you guys...

So World War ll,

I mean, was that...

that was rough for you guys,

'cause it was tough for us.

I'll tell you...

Chopsticks, for us,

is a song, you know?

Isn't that crazy?

Like, music.

Phil.

Yep, yep.

Just one second.

Technology's a little primitive

here in my workshop,

but you'll like what I come up with.

Now... there.

Naturally,

a professional model

will look a little more...

rodent-like.

But the idea

here is that we dress up,

uh, all of the world's top selling

um, you know...

mobile...

phones

uh, to look like rats.

See, and... and then we...

we race them in the...

rat race of life,

where, naturally, the...

Yakimoto cell phone

wins every time.

Yes.

Charlotte's gone

for a couple of days.

Mm.

We need to talk.

Sure.

Okay.

We can talk out here.

What are you building in there?

So?

How are your times?

Times?

I win!

I win!

I win, no, I win.

First place, first place.

It's a tie.

It's a tie!

They both win.

It's a tie.

Tie?

Yeah, they both won.

There you go.

Let's do this one more...

one more time.

One more time, one more time.

One more time.

'Cause it's a tie.

But I really won.

Best idea yet.

Oh, well, thank you.

" Funky!"

" Get down!"

" You don't get around, baby!"

" Come on!"

" Just like that!"

" Get it!"

Nothing in here.

How about downstairs?

Nothing.

Okay, let's go.

Come on.

" I'm the man."

" I'm the man."

" I'm the man

with the master plan."

" Funky!"

" I'm the man, I'm the man."

" I'm the man

with the master plan."

" I'm the man, I'm the man."

" I'm the man

with the master plan."

" Come on!"

Hey!

H-Hey, hi!

Hi, guys.

What... what...

what's... what's up?

Nothing much.

How about you?

Oh, no, you know,

not... not, much.

You know, just hangin' around.

Yeah.

Where's Brady and Kim?

Wh... oh, yeah, oh, yeah,

they, uh,

they went out to, uh,

Kim's parents

for a couple of days.

What's that smell?

Uh... what smell?

Smells like lead soup.

Lead... that's funny.

I don't smell anything.

All right, Philip,

you know what?

Cut to the chase.

What?

We know what you're doing here.

I... I...

Where are you making

the cars, huh?

Cars?

Upstairs, huh?

No.

Hey, hey, hey!

Hey, hey!

Ow!

Ow! Phil!

What, what, what, what?

Dislocated my knee!

I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry!
