Yes.

That's what I was.

I wasn't driving a car. I was taming a lion

well, this lion almost got

out of hand for a moment.

What's the difference?

You know this is something I've

always wanted to do,

and Dan would never

let me do it.

I remember once we were

in nuremberg, Germany.

Dan was the winner,

and I asked him if...

- Move over.

- What's the matter?

Move over.

But what did I do?

What did I do wrong?

I rang the bell. I guess

your music drowned me out.

I didn't know you painted. You're good.

I think everybody ought to

have a hobby, you know?

It keeps you from thinking about

things you don't want to think about.

Or does it?

No, it doesn't.

Dan...

I asked you here...

Well, because...

Well, because I wanted to tell you

I'm in love with you.

No, wait a minute. Let me

finish the whole thing.

Maybe I've been wrong

about my thinking.

Do you still want to take

a chance on my luck?

Hey. I don't think I'm

taking any chance.

Oh, Dan.

You're going to have to help me.

You're going to have to help

me because I'm still afraid.

Hey.

Hey.

I must have fallen asleep.

Is it late?

Yeah. It's after 3:00.

Oh, Dan, I'm sorry,

but... I must

talk with you.

What's the matter, kitten.

You got troubles?

Yes, I have troubles.

It's with Mike.

Tell me about it.

Oh...

Dan, I love this man.

I love him,

and I... I know

he's strange, but...

But I've never known a

man like him before. And...

Maybe that's why I love him.

Gaby, is Mike in love with you?

Ohh...

Sometimes.

Sometimes I think he hates me.

Tonight I... I found

out what it is.

He's ashamed.

He's ashamed of me.

And you know why he's ashamed?

Because before him

there was you,

and everybody knows it.

And he wants a girl no

one ever touched before,

and so he's ashamed.

And he knows it's

all over between us, but he hates you.

Danny...

He's...

He's crazy, you know?

So please watch out for him.

I'll be careful.

That's what I came to tell you.

Thank you, Gaby.

How are things

with you and Holly?

Fine.

They're just fine.

I'm very happy for you both.

- Please tell her.

- You tell her.

She'd like it.

Hi.

What were you doing in there?

Huh?

What were you doing

in there with him?

Can't you talk?

Hmm?

Hey, now tell me. Tell me what it was.

I was telling him to be careful.

You were telling him

to be careful?

Careful of what?

To be careful of you.

Well, are you...

Are you that afraid I'd

find out about you and him?

Is that it?

You told me it was all over. You...

You told me you were

through with him.

Didn't you?

Didn't you?

Hmm? Didn't you!

You're a liar.

You're a liar.

You're a slut!

Slut!

Operator...

Room number 11, please.

Dan, when I just left your room,

Mike was outside waiting,

and he's crazy, Dan.

He might...

He might do anything.

He just might do anything.

What the hell is

Mike trying to do?

What a battle between

Mike marsh in car number 28

and Dan McCall in the 21 car.

They're both flat out...

Full bore. These motors must be talking...

What is he doing?

I think he's trying to kill him.

Their lead over the field

is almost a full lap.

Look at these two go!

They're passing the slower car.

That's marsh

who's right beside McCall.

What a race. They're running

closer and closer.

Now they're going through turn 4,

coming out on the straightaway.

Now they're only inches apart.

Don't, Mike. Please!

Someone has to give way.

They can't get through

the turn together.

See which one gives way.

Watch it now. The turn's

coming up. Watch it.

Oh, no!

McCall is completely airborne.

Oh, god, no!

He's rolling

down the embankment.

This could be a bad one.

The car has burst into flames.

We can't see anything because

of the smoke and flames.

The fire trucks

and emergency crews

are rushing to the scene

of the accident.

Everything possible will be done.

We can't see anything from here,

but just remember,

drivers have walked away

from crashes worse than this.

We'll try and get you...

Wait a minute!

Yes, come on in, Fred.

This is Fred Regan

at the north turn.

Dan McCall is alright.

He got out of the car, and ambulance

men are looking him over.

They say he's only shaken up.

He's a lucky man.

I'd say he's lucky.

We're still in the green flag

as we're back to racing.

What are you thinking about?

Oh, today, and all the things

that can happen in one day,

and how your life can be

changed just like that.

You know, when you went

over the wall today,

it could have been

the end of you.

And me, too.

Instead...

Well...

When it all happened...

And all I could see was smoke...

I thought I did it,

it's my fault.

And when that voice said

you were alright

and he could see you

when you were walking away

and you weren't dead.

You were alive because you had

all the luck in the world.

It was like...

It was like somebody

squeezing my stomach,

squeezing all the poison out.

I stopped being scared.

Dan, I don't think

I'll ever be scared again.

Well, we're racing

in Charlotte next week.

I think you'd better

win one for a change.

Dan, I want to ask you something.

Come on in.

I've looked everywhere for him.

Everywhere.

No one has

seen him. Nobody.

Dan, you've got to find him.

After what he did,

he's going to need help.

He's going to need

a lot of help, and...

I'm afraid he's

going to do something.

Come on in.

What do you want?

Just wanted to know if you were hurt bad'?

No.

Will you race next week?

Why?

You want another chance at me?

Think you'll do

a better job next time?

No.

There won't be any next time.

I'm through driving.

Um... I tried

to kill you.

You got two witnesses. You go

tell the contest board I said it.

That I tried to kill you.

I won't be doing

any more racing.

I don't really care what you do.

Dan, don't.

Please.

Dan.

Alright, get the hell out of here.

But first I got to say this.

I never did that

to a man before...

Run him off and try to kill him.

Really, I tried

to kill somebody.

When it happened,

when you were, uh...

Going over the wall,

I remember I said to myself,

who did that to McCall?

Not you.

You couldn't do that.

You wouldn't kill somebody.

But I knew it was me.

You see a girl, and, uh...

Gosh, just looking at her

makes you feel better.

When you touch her,

she feels like nothing

else you ever felt before.

She says she wants

to be my girl.

That's not enough.

She can't look at anybody else,

can't talk to anybody else, she

she can't think

about anybody else but me.

And, uh...

When I started seeing

pictures in my mind,

pictures of, uh...

You and her...

I was a fool.

It's not because of this

girl, but because of...

Something in me, something...

I, uh, I don't understand.

It's not in me anymore.

I lost her, and, uh...

I lost my ride.

And, uh...

Well, uh...

I'm just glad you're

alive, McCall, that's all.

I, uh...

Well, that's...

That's what I came to say.

I wouldn't blame you if you knocked
