Need for Speed Page #2

Sorry about your old man.

I know you were close.

You lost, Dino?

What?

I mean, I haven't seen you

around for a long time.

I figured, you know, you must be lost.

So, nothing has changed.

After 10 years, you wanna just

pick up some locker room fight.

What do you want?

I wanna see you build a real car.

I got plenty of cars to build, Dino.

Yeah.

How's that going for you?

I didn't come to insult you.

I came to make a business proposition.

It could be a game-changer for you.

Are you handing out dreams now, Dino?

I've seen a hundred custom racing

shops since I left this town.

I still haven't seen

work as good as yours.

That's these guys. Not me.

I have a very special car

that needs to be finished.

What kind of car are we talking about?

Ford Mustang.

A Mustang?

Ooh.

It's the one Ford and

Carroll Shelby were building

when Carroll died.

How did you get it?

Mr. Shelby and my uncle,

they were close.

You finish building my Mustang

like you rebuilt that Gran Torino,

I'll give you a quarter

of what we get for the car.

A quarter?

The car is worth 2 million.

Minimum.

That's $500,000 in your pocket.

Forget about the past, Tobey, hmm?

It's history.

I'm here to make peace.

And money.

Don't answer me now.

Just think about it.

I don't need to think about it.

I'll do it.

I'll get the car here tomorrow.

Okay, um, I just wanna be the first

to take the floor here and ask you...

Have you lost your mind?

You're gonna have us

work for Dino Brewster?

Word?

JOE:
What are you thinking, Tobey?

You don't wanna have anything

to do with that piece of sh*t.

And, look, if this is about Anita,

trying to get her back or something...

Do it another way, homie.

Write a poem or some sh*t. Okay?

I'll help you out.

"Dear Anita,

Nothing is sweeter than Anita"

"I really aneeda... Anita"

(MEN CHUCKLING)

And I just came up with that just now.

Just now!

Yo, forget about

that fool and his turtleneck.

All right? Just tell him you're out.

We're doing fine without him.

We're not.

Okay. We're not doing fine.

Um... Look, uh...

I'm behind on the loan.

That guy from earlier...

That guy is from the bank.

And he's just gonna keep coming back.

Tobey, if you say we need him,

then I'm with you.

Wait. We made five grand tonight.

It's gotta be enough

to make the payment.

What about next month?

We'll figure it out.

We always do.

This time it's different, okay?

(SIGHS)

If you guys don't show up tomorrow

to work on that car,

we're gonna lose this place.

Hey, come on, guys.

This is Carroll Shelby.

This is an opportunity of a lifetime.

We're doing this. All right? For Tobey.

9:
30 tomorrow. Don't be late.

You're cheating, man. Quit cheating!

(LAUGHS) You just can't keep up.

Sh*t!

Here we go.

FINN:
Yeah.

All right, all right, all right.

BENNY:
Where is the rest of it?

We got a lot of work to do.

Yeah.

(LAUGHS)

(HORSES WHINNYING)

(WHINNYING CONTINUES)

(ENGINE REVVING)

(INDISTINCT CONVERSATIONS)

Do you like that car over there?

- Yeah, it's nice.

- Yeah.

We built that.

Oh. So, you're a mechanic.

(SIGHS)

That was real smooth, Bro.

Hey. Do you like that car over there?

Okay. Excuse me.

We built that.

We're mechanics.

We're not afraid to get our hands dirty.

Do you know what I mean?

Do you like that car over there?

How fast does it go?

Fast.

Very fast. Pete.

Aren't all Mustangs fast?

Well, this one was built by Ford

and reimagined by Carroll Shelby,

the greatest performance car

builder in American history.

She's not from around here, Petey,

so she probably

has no idea who Carroll Shelby is.

But why is it so fast?

It's 900 horsepower, baby.

Is that a lot?

- Are you kidding me?

- Petey.

Look, miss, this isn't the kind of car

you can just go to the mall and buy.

Trust me when I say, it's one of a kind.

Can I see the engine?

Sure.

5.8 liter, aluminum block,

SVT supercharger and racing headers.

Yeah, it's quite nice, actually.

I wasn't expecting that.

Nor was I.

Why?

Because I'm a woman?

Or because I'm from England?

Mr. Shelby's first Cobra was built

using an AC body made in England.

It had a Ford 260 CID V8 engine.

Of course, you already knew that.

Life can be full of surprises.

I find life to be full of

people who think they're smart

because they have a fancy accent.

No offense.

Some taken.

I really love Piers Morgan.

So, this is how it goes, is it?

You're very quiet, very tough,

and then you're just constantly

cracking these hilarious jokes.

Hey, Jules.

Um...

Three million is way too much

for this car, Dino.

Well, that's what it costs.

- Let's see what Ingram thinks.

- I am what Ingram thinks,

and he thinks two at the most.

Well, three is the number.

Three is absurd. That's

why nobody has bid on it.

That's the best car

I've driven since Indy.

You haven't driven it, Dino.

Tobey's had the keys the whole time.

(LAUGHING)

Do you want me to turn around

and plug my ears

while you all get on the same page?

What's the top speed?

- 180.

- 230.

JULIA:
230?

He's talking about

a theoretical top speed.

I know that you don't really talk,

but maybe Mr. Strong and Silent

could be a little less silent.

She'll go 230.

Top NASCAR speed ever was 228.

This car is faster.

8:
00 a.m., tomorrow at Shepperton.

You get anything close

to 230 out of this car,

Ingram is going to buy it on the spot.

For 3 million.

Give or take a million.

Mostly take.

Good night, lads.

Bye.

DINO:
230?

Are you crazy? What if I can't

get the car there?

Well, maybe you can't,

but I can.

I'll drive.

Don't even think about driving that car.

(ENGINE REVVING)

Yeah, Tobey!

(TIRES SCREECHING)

What are you guys doing, huh? Huh?

Stop! Stop!

What the hell are you doing?

You don't own this car!

You don't get to joyride it!

Top speed just over 230.

JULIA:
234.

According to this.

Hey.

That was some driving, son.

And that is one hell of a car.

It's going to cost me $3 million?

That's the price.

2.7.

(ENGINE STARTING)

2.7 million?

(TOBEY LAUGHING)

What the hell were you thinking?

We sold the car, Dino.

You never could've got that

car to 230. Even on our track.

You think you're a better driver than me?

Everyone knows he's a better driver.

You know, I'm just about

done with you, Pete.

Hey! Back off, Dino.

I'll beat you on a track, the dirt,

a road, anywhere else you wanna race.

Hey, you're the man, okay?

You're the pro.

You got nothing to prove to me.

Let's move on.

No.

No, let's race.

If you win, I'll give you

my 75% of the Mustang deal.

If you lose,

you give me your 25%.

Well, that makes it interesting.

PETE:
This is the biggest

house I've ever seen.

DINO:
It's my uncle's place.

Don't worry, he's in Monaco.

These aren't even legal

in the United States.

They're all Euro-spec cars,

so technically,

they don't even exist here.

Are they some kind of Ferrari?

Koenigsegg Agera R.

Top speed, 270 miles an hour.

But, Dino, I thought
