---

your children are right

there starving with you.

You grew up strong

and good, Cale.

Mom, you knew where he was.

You don't need a father

like that.

How-- How do you know

what I needed?

Mom, you made me

the man of the house

when I was 10 years old.

I mean, I-- I was working

two jobs when I was 15!

I-- I see my friends,

I-- I see their lives,

and you--

you robbed me.

Cale, honey.

No.

[Door Slams]

[Motorcycle Revving]

[Motorcycles Revving]

Justin!

[Grunts, Groans]

[Saw Whirring]

Can I help you?

I thought you were taller.

But then I was just

a little kid.

- Oh, God. Cale?

- Hey.

How'd you find me?

One of your neighbors

told me where you work.

What are you doing here?

Well--

I was--

I remember coming home

and wondering why there was

so much stuff in the car.

Hey, you told me

that you'd be right back.

You were just gonna go

for a drive to cool off

after another fight with Mom.

[Sighs]

Do you remember

that Tuesday, Dad?

It was 3:
00, Dad.

I-- I-- Every day--

Your--

I was waiting for--

Your mother and I

had some problems.

It wasn't a good situation,

Cale.

It wasn't a good

situation for who?

For you or for us?

No, for all of us.

I couldn't stay, Cale.

Look, I never stopped

loving my family,

but, you know,

things happen, people change.

Your mother just wouldn't--

This isn't about Mom.

This is about you and me.

Look, your mother

didn't need me.

You didn't need me.

How could you say that?

You didn't even know me.

How do you know

what I needed?

Okay. Okay.

What do you want?

I can't change things

that happened.

Why are you here now?

I tried to forget you.

I--

Mom was great,

but when I needed someone--

Wh-When I really needed

to reach out to someone,

you weren't there.

Things have been

piling up back home...

with Mom and my work

and everything,

and I thought that...

mayb--

I thought maybe once I'd get

the right lottery ticket.

I-- Okay, okay.

I get it.

You do?

Look, here's, uh--

I don't know.

Here's some money.

Will this do it for you?

Well, this is

what it's about, right?

This is a shakedown.

Oh, my God.

You really don't get it

at all, do you?

What?

You never did.

Hey.

You're a pretty

good-looking kid, man.

You remind me of me

when I was a kid.

We're nothing alike.

[Train Horn Blowing]

[Dog Barking]

Love you, Mom.

Oh.

I'm so sorry.

I thought

I was protecting you.

I shouldn't have lied.

No, Mom, you were right.

Dad disappeared

a long time ago.

I love you, sweetheart.

I love you too.

[Groans]

Can't a girl get

some sleep around here?

Alex.

I have nothing to say.

Look, I-- I know.

Listen to me, okay?

Alex, will you just--

Will you hear me out, please?

Whatever you saw the other day

at the store was not exactly

what it looked like.

All right.

Crystal's my ex, and it's over

between us, all right?

It's-- It's in the past.

Now, I've been through

a lot lately, all right?

And a lot of things have

changed, and a lot of that

change is 'cause of you.

I don't know what it--

exactly this is between us,

but when I'm with you,

I feel good.

Hey. I think that you maybe

felt the same way too.

I just want to give this

another shot.

Please.

I like you, Cale.

You're a nice guy,

and I'm not sure

if this is gonna work.

But...

we can try.

Okay.

[Sighs]

I heard.

I'm done, bro.

I lost my sponsorship.

They dropped me faster

than a pregnant prom queen.

Uh, my dad won, I guess.

I got Boston coeds

in my future now.

It's not so bad though,

right?

I mean, I probably

would have got bored on

the pro tour anyways.

Who said you were

gonna beat me?

[Both Laughing]

Listen, man.

I'm sorry about all that stuff

that I said, you know?

Me too, man.

I'm sorry.

So, it's up to you now, bro.

What are you gonna do?

I'm gonna turn in my application

as assistant manager over

at Electronic Factor.

What? What are you--

What about the dream?

I missed the race

the other day, man.

It's over.

Yeah? Well, you always

got the regionals.

I obviously can't race

next weekend,

and since you

tied Derek for second,

you got my spot, bro.

What?

Yeah. You're racing next weekend

in the amateur regionals. Yeah.

Oh, my God!

Oh, hey.

Easy, okay? Easy.

Okay. Sorry.

Now all you need, man,

is an entrance fee and a bike.

Well--

Ah, well, don't look

at me, bro.

You think I look bad,

you should see my bike.

No ride, no bike.

That's how endorsements work.

Hey, tell me Trent

got his job back

at Holeshot.

Yeah, he did.

I've never seen a man

beg so much in my life.

He was on his knees, crying,

snot coming out of his nose.

It was gross.

Okay, you don't understand.

Wally, Wally, Wally.

Have we ever let you down?

We're not gonna need it

for that long.

I'll do it on my

own time, I promise.

You don't have to pay me.

- Once he works on it,

it's gonna be better--

- All right.

- Wally.

- Absolutely free. Seriously.

- All right. All right!

Now back to work.

- Yeah!

Dude. Wally.

Yes!

Thank you.

Thank you.

[Man]

We don't have time

left to regret

- Come on.

- Hold on

It will take more

than common sense

Take this. Got it?

That's it. Come on.

So stop your wondering

Take a stand

Hold on

'Cause there's more to life

than just to live

Hold on

'Cause an empty room

can be so loud

There's too many tears

to drown them out

So hold on, hold on

Hold on, hold on

One single smile

a helping hand

Ma'am, it's 13.25!

It's not that hard

to be a friend

Please?

Hold on

Thank you.

So don't give up

Stand till the end

Hold on

'Cause there's more to life

than just to live

Hold on

'Cause an empty room

can be so loud

There's too many tears

to drown them out

So hold on, hold on

Come on, Cale, buddy.

Pick up the pace.

You want be a champ?

Hold on, hold on

Not bad.

Yeah. I was wondering

if you wanted to come over...

and watch the race

with me and Bailey.

Just hold on, hold on

Are you serious?

Hold on, hold on

Great. Okay.

I'll see you then.

[Beeps]

Hold on

'Cause an empty room

can be so loud

There's too many tears

to drown them out

So hold on

[Trent]

That about does it.

I bored and honed the cylinders,

added a set of hot cams,

recut the valve seats,

and, uh, oh, yeah--

I modified

the accelerator pump.

God, you make me hot.

Get your arms off me

before I chew them off.

Hold on, hold on

How are we doing

for finances?

Uh, Secretary

of the Treasury?

We've got $937.

Guys, we need two grand

for entrance fee.

Yeah.

Damn it.

I've got an idea.

It'll be on magazines.

It'll be on TV.

There's hundreds

of people there.

It's the regional championships,

and it's-- it's here.

It's never here,

and people will see--

- Yeah, yeah.

It's a sport, a game, uh-huh?

- I don't know about this.

No, Senor Lopez,

it's not just a game.

It's-It's my life,

and you can make money at it.

You can make a living.

Senor Lopez, you came

to this country...

with a dream,
