Nitro

It's all or nothing!

Do or die!

F***!

You're crazy, man.

That was wild!

Max! Max!

Who's the best?

Sicko. You'd kill a pal

just to win.

I didn't kill anyone.

Yet!

-You're a sore loser!

-Cheater!

It turns me on when you b*tch.

-It does?

-Yeah.

It makes me hot.

Does it?

Come on!

In your dreams!

And?

You rule!

Not bad, huh?

Yup.

-Can we go?

-Theo, at half past, you know.

But it's boring!

I know, but I told you. In life...

I know, we can't always do...

what we want,

even if it's not fair.

Exactly. Anyway, I'm almost done.

Does she have to stay much longer?

I don't know.

How 'bout it?

Try a new record?

Talking to yourself?

Or did you bring your kid again?

I answered the gyprock.

It asked me for a joint.

If my insurance busts me

cause of you, you're out!

No sweat. I'm alone, it's safe.

-I'm watching you.

-Cool.

-I'm warning you.

-It's all good.

Can I sit in front?

No!

Please? Pretty please? Come on!

O.K., but just for today.

Yes!

I promise I won't tell Mom!

-Hope to die?

-Hope to die if I tell a lie!

Now buckle up.

Why do sick people get flowers?

Cause flowers are like life.

It helps them get better.

Then why do dead people get them?

To show we love them.

Flowers are like love.

Are they life or love?

Same thing.

-You have to water love or it wilts.

-You're a smart kid.

Mom?

A heart attack?

Why didn't you call me?

We just got her stabilized.

How is she?

She's on morphine.

She's not strong enough to waken.

She's very fragile.

She's been waiting for months.

When will she be first in line?

Even then it can take a long time.

She can't stay like this.

How long?

A few days.

A few days.

No way! You have to do something.

Without a donor,

there's nothing I can do.

Is there anything I can do?

What can I do? Tell me.

Anything.

Try praying.

No.

No, look...

Try it.

Maybe someone somewhere

can save your wife.

She won't really die, will she?

No.

She won't die.

We'll do anything to save her.

You won't let her die?

No, we won't let her die.

Cross your heart?

Cross my heart.

Hope to die?

If I tell a lie!

Promise me.

I promise.

Ready or not, here I come!

Julien?

Theo?

I'm going to find you!

Julien?

Theo?

We'll set sail on a big ship

And drop anchor

on a treasure island

Where those funny birds nest

That you see

In your dreams

Everything's fine, angel.

I'll take you home.

Hang on!

ORGAN TRANSPLANT DEPARTMEN

Sh*t!

You snuck past security again?

I told you not to!

Theo, how are you, dude?

Check this out!

Cool, huh? Brand new!

Have fun.

Go play. Scat!

The news is bad, so be nice to me.

Sorry.

Nothing new, except a kidney.

Don't give up.

She's next.

The first heart, it's hers.

She's been waiting months.

Yeah.

It's a long weekend.

With luck some crazy driver

will ram a brick wall.

Sorry... So, Theo,

like my car?

Yeah.

Open the trunk.

Cool, huh?

Yeah.

Come on, with all the people

who die in hospital here,

there's gotta be a heart.

There are,

but procedure fucks things up.

Procedure?

O.K., but keep your mouth shut.

Why no organs?

Cause no one donates? No.

Cause doctors aren't paid for that.

Take a surgeon...

He gets $20,000

to cut you up into pieces.

But the doc who spends the night

keeping a coma victim alive,

he doesn't get a cent more.

There's no bonus.

We have organs, but no cash.

That's disgusting.

Expect me to take on

the system by myself?

No. All I can do

is place the organs I get.

I can't save the world.

What if I get a heart?

Yeah, right.

No, think about it.

In theory you could say, I dunno...

some American got shot

in the face while hanging

with his pals.

I can put what I want,

I fill out the forms.

But Mr Wiseguy,

where'll you get a heart?

I dunno.

Some bastard

who doesn't deserve his.

You're joking, right, Robin Hood?

We save criminals

and let the innocent die.

We should pay to save the innocent.

Off the record....

Pay... pay how much?

Wouldn't you like

a real car like that?

In real life that's worth 50 grand.

That's expensive.

Life's expensive.

Can we make a deal?

Sure, we can always make a deal.

Look, that's how it is.

You're wrong. We can change things.

-Look after Theo.

-Don 't say that.

You'll look after Theo.

We'll look after him together.

I promise.

Who cares?

That pickup was a gas-guzzler.

Yeah, tell me about it.

And it polluted.

It polluted.

So are we cool?

We're cool. It was just a car.

You'll see, Grandpa has lots more.

Good to see you, big guy.

You keep growing!

-Is it true you have lots of cars?

-Come see.

-Do they go fast?

-And how!

Nowadays it's always more.

More gas, more power, more cash...

Everything's got so complicated.

It won't be long till

we're replaced by machines.

That's what their technology's about.

Know what they really want?

To dumb us down. Cause...

imbeciles never revolt.

Imbeciles obey the dictates

of the market.

The dictates of the market,

you hear?

I read you.

Watch out, they're everywhere.

Sooner or later

they'll get you too.

Sure, there are some benefits.

But that won't last.

Kids today are lost.

Nowadays you need

a degree in computing

to be a mechanic.

It's friggin' insane.

We'll be robots. We're slaves now.

We'll be pawns on their

chessboard. Pawns, you hear?

Look, I'm not in the mood

to save the world today.

Of course not, sorry.

This is the one we fixed up.

You'll be proud of us.

-Super.

-Way cool. It's wicked!

I hear white flames are hot.

Yeah!

-What's underneath?

-A 16-valve. You'll love it.

Have a look.

Forged rods, a short block

with oversized valves. It's chipped,

it's got a super charge.

With the nitro, you'll be strapped

to a rocket on wheels.

Just don't lift off,

cause you'll fly!

It's cool.

But...

It's perfect, thanks.

I don't know how I'll pay you back.

Why? Come on,

a son never owes his dad nothing!

I'd never have asked you

if it wasn't an emergency.

Look, kid...

I'm glad that you need me.

I've always tried to help you

in my own way.

My way may not be yours, but...

You understand? I always tried.

Thanks a lot, Dad.

It's great.

Do you have that address?

That address...

Where the kids are racing

tonight.

-Dad, look, nitro!

-Move.

Don't touch anything.

This is the place you want.

Careful, you haven't raced

in a while.

Don't tempt the devil,

he's hungry.

Thanks for taking Theo

a few nights.

We'll have fun.

We'll race go-karts.

Go-karts, cool!

-We'll see if you're as fast as Max.

-Julien.

Right, Julien.

Start her up.

Wait till you hear her purr.

Not bad, huh?

Who're you?

It's a private party.

For the cover charge...

and a few drinks.

O.K.

Follow me.

I dunno if you know,

it's $2000 a race.

-You in?

-It's all good.

-Watch this, I'll pay you $50 a race.

-$200.

Get me races.

I'll trust you with my cash.

I'll pay you $100 a race.

O.K.

Billy!

Billy! Billy!

That's Max.

The champ.

He crashed and dropped outta sight.

Thank you.

That's your wad.
