Herbie Goes to Monte Carlo Page #6

that's one car he won't wanna

come in second to. Right, Herbie?

Hey, isn't that it?

[ Sputtering ]

It sure is.

- Maybe we should've stopped.

- Stop? Are you kidding?

Throw away 100 grand

and the biggest comeback of our lives?

We've got this thing.

We're a shoe-in.

- She's in trouble.

- Well, sure...

plenty of cars get in trouble.

Let the rescue boys bail her out.

Yeah, but I-I mean,

she could be in real danger.

I'm sorry, Wheely.

Sometimes a comeback comes second.

Herbie doesn't seem

to think so.

Well, yeah, sure.

Why should Herbie want to stop...

- after the lies you told him back there?

- Shh!

Yeah, the jilted lover.

Why, if he knew that

that little Lancia...

had been waiting on him at the

starting line, wouldn't even budge...

until you lied to her about

him throwing her over-

I mean, she-

Why, he'd-

I mean, he'd be back

at her side right now.

I hate to say this,Jim,

but you got a big mouth. You know that?

Hang on, Diane!

[ Gasping ]

[ Coughing ]

Thank you.

[ Coughing ]

Thank you.

- Thank you.

- You okay?

I think so.

I missed a shift and lost control.

That's not all

you could've lost.

[ Wheely ] Herbie, what're you doin'?

Herbie, there's no time.!

Forget it, Wheely.

He's gonna get his girlfriend

out of the mud.

And us out of the race.

I see it,

but I don't believe it.

Well, you can believe this:

We are now out of the money...

because "sometimes

a comeback comes second. "

Who's giving up, buddy?

Not me!

- Come on,you come with us.

- No, no, I... I'm gonna stay with my car.

Looks like we're all

gonna stay with her car.

Let's go, Wheely!

[ Engine Cranking ]

- You're not going anyplace, are you?

- [ Engine Cranking ]

[ Engine Cranking ]

Uh, Herbie?

Now listen to me.

Uh, Herbie, I know

just how you feel...

but I also know

you're not a quitter.

Now show 'em

you can do it, Herbie.

- Win it for them!

- [ Lancia Honking ]

And for her.

- [ Herbie Starting ]

- Oh, hey! [ Laughing ]

The rest is up to you.

- Good luck.

- Thanks.

Aw, come on, Herbie!

Open up, will ya? Come on!

I know you're sore about

what I told you, but I'm sorry, okay?

Look, I did it for you.

Okay, okay,

I did it for us.

What do you want me to do,

get down on my knees?

- [ Honk, Honk ]

- Okay.

All right, I lied to ya,

and I'm sorry.

And I promise I'll never,

never do it again, okay?

Boy, you sure don't

forgive easy, do ya?

Bouchet, did you miss a turn

on your way to the Eiffel Tower?

[ Laughing ] No.

A little unfinished business, Emile.

You've wounded me, my friend. You think

I cannot handle a little diamond search?

Five of my best men are waiting

for the cars to enter Monte Carlo.

- That is exactly why I'm here.

- Aha!

Afraid I will steal

some of your glory?

There is no glory

to be stolen.

I wish to rectify

a terrible mistake...

and save everyone

from embarrassment.

- The search is off.

- Off?

The message was an error

by another zealous young detective...

anxious to make an overnight

reputation for himself.

Ah, yes, but for this kind of news

they invented the telephone.

Ooh-la-la! This is a matter

that needed my personal attention.

Who knows

what complications could arise...

from a situation

like this?

This is a big race.

It could cause...

an international incident.

Hmm.

Ah!

Well, it, uh, seems

your young man in Paris...

has caused you

a lot of trouble.

I assure you, Emile,

I intend to put an end to it.

Wiser heads are always called upon

to clean up the mistakes of the young.

- It's true.

- And our reward...

we get it

when we reach heaven.

Perhaps a bit sooner.

Three down

and two to go.

Dirty road hog!

Why doesn't he learn how to drive?

He knows how to drive.

That's the trouble.

Yeah, I see

what you mean.

If we don't get him

by the tunnel-

There's no way

we can pass him!

Bruno was right.

They never come back.

[ Honking, Revving ]

H- H-Herbie!

[ Tires Screeching ]

Ha-ha! I don't b-

believe it!

[ Cheering ]

- [ Crowd Cheering ]

- [ Together] We did it!

- They don't come back, huh?

- I guess Herbie wasn't listening.

- Whoo!

- Whoo-whoo-whoo-whoo! Ha-ha!

Swine!

[ Cheering, Shouting ]

- [ Woman ] Herbie.! Herbie.!

- [ Man ] Herbie.! Herbie.!

- [ Cheering, Whistling ]

- Herbie! Herbie!

- How does it feel to be back in the winner's circle?

- Pretty good!

Well, for the 20th time,

it was a great race...

and we enjoyed every minute of it-

almost every minute of it.

Well, I'm enjoying every minute of this,

I can tell you that.

And, uh, both of us would like

to thank you all very, very much.

Au revoir.!

Arrivederci.!

Ciao.!

i Buenas noches.!

Sayonara.

Right.

See ya around, Douglas.

Hey, that's some cute little memento

you got there, old buddy.

Well, this little memento's

as much yours as mine, old buddy;

- and it's more Herbie's than anybody's.

- You can say that again.

[Jim ]

Well, look who's here.

May I add

my congratulations.

You'll congratulate us even more

when you see what we've got for ya.

- It was right in Herbie's gas tank.

- Ah!

- [Jim ] This whatcha been lookin'for?

- Yes.

It's had a rough trip,

hasn't it?

But it's winding up

in the right hands.

Indeed, it is.

Don't know how we missed connections,

sir, but here I am.

Fontenoy.

You see?

I knew the diamond would be found.

It's an honour to be at your side

in this moment of triumph, Inspector.

And I have

more good news, sir.

The two thieves

have been captured.

[ Bouchet Chuckling ]

Good.!

Good! Then I'd say

the case is concluded.

- [ Chuckling ]

- [Jim ] Yeah.

But, you know, there seems there'd be

a mastermind behind this kind of thing.

[ Wheely ] Yeah, or that museum

has some pretty lousy security.

Sir, men have been challenged to a duel

for such an accusation.

The museum's security

was virtually foolproof.

- I made an interesting discovery just today, sir.

- Fontenoy.

From the sensitized

floor...

to the radar beam surrounding

the pedestal to the very pillow...

on which the diamond rested, all the traps

were conceived and executed by one man.

- Fontenoy.

- No, sir...

give credit

where credit is due.

The combinations to the entire security

system were devised and known only to you!

The only question is,

who besides the Inspector...

knew the details

of these precautions?

Who besides the Inspector?

The answer to

that question is...

nobody!

My retirement has been

delayed too long.

Now I hope no one

will be foolish enough to make a move.

- [ Bone Cracking ]

- [ Gasps ]

Move this ridiculous car,

or I'll be forced to kill you!

[ Gasps ]

Even a mastermind can be

outsmarted by this car. Thanks, Herbie.

Inspector.

I always hoped you'd be present

when I cracked my first big case, sir.

[ Growling ]

Fo-Fo-Fontenoy!

- Uh, excuse me, sir.

- [ Handcuffs Clicking ]

- Sorry, sir. Sorry.

- [ Groaning ]

I think you'll find

it's all here, monsieur.

I'm so happy!

I personally

will see to it...
