Need for Speed Page #4

is hard to believe.

He's supposedly from

an old wealthy family

that made their money

in the Industrial Revolution.

- And no one knows who he is?

- No one.

Legend is he sponsored

a few Formula One teams

but always campaigned

under other names.

A man of mystery.

Mystery and a bad heart.

He had a dalliance as a driver,

but his heart stopped

like a watch one day.

So he quit.

So what's the prize for this De Leon?

Well,

big risks come with big rewards.

Maybe that's why I walked away

with $6 million worth of cars.

- That sounds like a good day's work.

- Yes, it was.

Look, I don't mean to push you,

but I have another interested party.

I'm not 100% sure about them.

You know that feeling?

I liked what I saw at your dealership.

The problem I have is,

you haven't shown a hard profit yet.

But I thought you said the dealership

was in profits last year.

Let me be blunt.

What do I have to do to get

a real commitment from you?

I'll be blunt back.

What's a real commitment?

Five million.

Okay, but

you have to win this

secret De Leon again.

And all those cars that come with it.

(CELL PHONE RINGING)

Yo.

JOE:
Checking in.

Mile marker 417. We're on schedule.

JOE:
I know we're on schedule.

I'm checking on you, Bro.

I was just sitting here thinking,

Pete would have loved this trip.

Yeah.

He loved the impossible, huh?

Perfect for Petey.

Where's your head at, brother?

I'll never forget what I saw that day.

Listen, don't you worry.

Dino's gonna get what's coming to him.

Just don't forget why we're doing this.

I'll see you in Detroit, brother. Beast out.

I'm sorry about Pete.

He just left him there.

That's what I can't forgive.

That's what this is really

about then, isn't it?

(INDISTINCT CONVERSATIONS)

Good morning.

(CELL PHONE RINGING)

(STOPS RINGING)

(CELL PHONE RINGING)

Dude, stop calling me, okay?

We've already had this conversation.

JOE:
- Just go to the window.

- No.

Why?

Just go to the window.

Quit being a little b*tch.

You're the b*tch.

(CAR ENGINE REVVING)

(CONTINUES REVVING)

FEMALE DISPATCH ON RADIO: Unit 4-Adam,

report of noise complaint,

Woodward circle.

Vehicle description, silver Ford...

What the hell are you doing?

- Keeping the engine hot.

OFFICER:
- Unit 4 responding.

You're gonna attract

attention to yourself.

(CONTINUES REVVING)

Oh, sh*t.

Is that your car, son?

Uh... No, no, no, no, no.

Are you crazy? Do you know

how expensive this car is?

Why don't you just

take it around the corner?

Hey, hey, did you see

how fast I was going?

It must have been, like,

160 on that off-ramp.

You should drive this car. It's amazing!

- Oh, Officer, I am so sorry.

- It's insane! Insane.

My boyfriend was showing off.

He's trying to impress me.

Why don't we just take

it around the block? Now.

(CONTINUES REVVING)

"Boyfriend"?

I'm just trying to keep us out of jail.

Well, you might wanna fix your hair.

(ENGINE REVVING)

Oh, for my mug shot?

No.

Because I'm about to make you famous.

JOE:
Finn, are you there?

- I'm here.

- All right.

Don't mind the cop.

That's not the problem.

Watch how the car leans

as he pulls away.

That's our problem.

Go, go!

(TIRES SCREECHING)

(SIREN WAILING)

In pursuit, modified Ford Mustang.

Heading east on Woodward.

The car is loose.

Yeah, I know. Thank you for that.

If Tobey runs that setup in De Leon,

he won't finish, let alone win.

He's in?

Maybe.

Look, we have a plan.

And what does that mean?

It means we know what we're doing.

Get your ass down here, b*tch.

MALE CO-WORKER 1: Finn!

Finn, you okay, buddy?

(BREATHING HEAVILY)

Casual Friday.

MALE CO-WORKER 2: Finn, man, what's up?

Jacki.

- Oh, Jacki.

- Oh...

(BOTH MOANING)

I've always wanted to do that.

(LAUGHS) Yeah!

(ALL GASPING)

Have a nice day,

you miserable bastards.

Whoo.

FEMALE CO-WORKER: Finn, call me!

(MUZAK PLAYING)

My friend is running

the fastest Mustang in the world

at De Leon on Sunday

and the setup is all wrong.

- I'm in accounting.

- Oh.

Don't you feel like you're dying inside?

Yes.

It's cold in here.

Where's the Beast?

What the hell?

- Where are your clothes?

- Did you miss this?

No, I didn't miss it. Don't touch me, man.

Stay away! We gotta go, let's go.

FINN:
You missed me, didn't you?

JOE:
No. Get off!

JOE:
I've got the shaved bird.

We're jumping in the Beast.

We're behind. We got

28 hours to get to Cali.

Copy that.

FINN:
- Good morning.

- Oh, my God.

So, why the hell are you naked?

To make sure I'd never come back.

I'm sure you could've

done that another way.

Let's be clear, though, you're

not wearing my underwear.

(TIRES SCREECHING)

(CELL PHONE RINGING)

There's a helicopter

in the middle of the street.

(SIREN WAILING)

Hello?

BENNY:
WNKW with a question

for Tobey Marshall.

On a scale from one to ten,

how crazy hot is your passenger?

Like my new wheels? Bitchin', right?

What happened to the Cessna?

BENNY:
Flight restrictions

in the city, man.

But it's all good. I borrowed

my buddy's little bird.

Let me get a hard right.

(REWING)

(TIRES SCREECHING)

Y'all lucky, I almost got

my hands on that Apache

from Great Lakes Army Air Base,

but Colonel Gatins

was sweating me hard.

Here we go again.

BENNY:
Not talking to you, Beast.

(SIREN WAILING)

Roger that, Liar One.

Finn, you're back in the crew

for all of 10 minutes

and you're already

up my skirt talking sh*t.

Man, you're gonna rue the day

you started calling me that.

What, did you all of a sudden

go to college, fool?

Wow. What a really

ignorant thing to say.

God, are you ignorant.

Is it gonna be like this the entire way?

(HORN HONKING)

A reminder, the Motown Marathon

races through town this weekend...

Romeo, stand by.

(IN DEEP VOICE) Standing by.

But for today's traffic,

we go live to Romeo

in the Channel 10 traffic helicopter.

- How are we looking, Romeo?

DIRECTOR:
- Cut to two.

BENNY:
(SINGING) Bum

Bum, bum, bum, bum!

Is Romeo in the helicopter?

What's going on?

Bum, bum

Looking good, Beth.

Real good.

Commercial! Hey, cut to commercial!

Hey, Liar One, eyes on the road.

BENNY:
Wow! (LAUGHS)

I did not see that.

OFFICER:
5-Charlie, I got

ops on the silver Mustang.

I'm in pursuit. Westbound Jefferson.

FEMALE OFFICER:
Copy, 7-Charlie.

We'll stop him

before he gets on the 375.

All right, Beauty,

this is gonna sound insane,

but I need a two-lane grasshopper

in order to get these guys off your back.

- Roger.

- What's a grasshopper?

You may wanna close your eyes for this.

Is it worse than "Bus, bus, bus"?

BENNY:
All right.

Now, just aim for the trees.

Spread your wings, Beauty!

(INAUDIBLE)

(BRAKES SCREECHING)

(LAUGHS)

What just happened? You're amazing.

I can't believe we're alive.

Okay, got to go. Time's up in the bird.

JULIA:
That was amazing.

You're amazing.

We are amazing.

FEMALE DISPATCH 1:
