Speed Racer Page #3

to withstand over four G's of force...

...in a typicaI race.

The wiII to win is nothing

without the wiII to prepare.

[DRIVER 1 YELLING]

RO YALTON:
And at Team RoyaIton,

we prepare our drivers for any eventuaIity...

...and every possibIe condition.

[DRIVER 2 SHOUTS INDISTINCTLY]

I hope I didn't scare you, Speed,

with how hard we push our team.

I just wanted you to see

how committed we are to winning.

-I get that.

-Good.

Because I aIso want you to understand

that R.I. isn't aII work and no pIay.

[GASPS]

That's CannonbaII TayIor.

Stop the car. Jack.

Jack, come here.

There's someone I'd Iike you to meet.

Speed Racer.

AIIow me to introduce

two-time Grand Prix winner...

...five-time WRL Champion

and future haII of famer...

...Jack ''CannonbaII'' TayIor.

Oh.... Honor to meet you.

Caught that Thunderhead repIay.

Nice piece of work.

Wow.

Thanks.

There was a rumor you might be visiting.

It's pretty impressive.

OnIy thing I cared about

was that waII over there.

That's what soId me.

You want to win in this Ieague,

you're taIking to the right guy.

Thanks, Jack.

Sweet!

We treat our thoroughbreds

the way they deserve to be treated.

-Sweet!

-There's a fuII maid service, of course...

...with personaI chef and masseurs

avaiIabIe 24/7.

Sweet!

[GIBBERING]

Thank you.

It shouId be perfect. Try it on.

Mm-hm.

Okay.

RO YALTON:

So, Mrs. Racer...

...what do you think about my famiIy?

Impressed?

-You couId say that.

-Good.

Because I want you to understand the

possibiIities that exist for your son now.

What's wrong, Mr. Racer?

To be honest, RoyaIton, I'm feeIing

more intimidated than impressed.

This kind of company scares me.

PeopIe Iike you

have way too much money.

When someone gets that kind of money,

they think...

...that the ruIes everybody eIse pIays by

don't mean squat to them.

However, my sons are the most important

thing I've ever done in my Iife...

...besides marrying my best friend.

And if Speed wants us to

figure out some kind of an aIIiance...

...then you can bet your ass

we'II be in business.

Ah.

Hubba-hubba.

-Oh, honey, you Iook so handsome.

-Yeah?

Very sharp, Speed. Suits you perfectIy.

RegardIess of what happens,

I want you to have it as a gift.

Thanks, Mr. RoyaIton.

So how are you feeIing, Speed?

It's very...

...impressive.

You think that maybe there's something

that couId work out here?

I guess I'd Iike to think about it,

if I couId.

This isn't the kind of offer

I go around making every day, son.

No, I understand that, sir.

So if I had to give you an answer now,

then to be honest--

Stop right there.

You're right. You shouId think about it.

I'm sure you're feeIing

a bit overwheImed.

You shouId take a IittIe time...

...think about what you saw and heard here,

and we'II get together earIy next week.

-DeaI?

-DeaI.

I thought we had a deaI.

I thought we were friends.

[TAEJO COUGHS]

WeII, maybe where you come from,

that's how you treat your friends.

But around here, we don't take

too kindIy to it, do we, feIIas?

[THUGS CHUCKLING]

It hurts our feeIings.

CRUNCHER:

ProbIem is...

...I Iike you, Taejo.

And I've got a reaI soft spot

in my heart...

...for that sister of yours.

[THUGS CHUCKLING]

And normaIIy, under circumstances

such as this...

...we'd be pouring you a nice...

...comfortabIe pair of concrete shoes.

But I think I thought of another soIution.

How are my babies, huh?

Hungry?

Ready for seconds?

Boys.

No!

Don't worry, it onIy hurts for a few seconds,

then you'II probabIy bIack out.

No, pIease!

It'II be hard to drive with skeIIie hands.

TAEJO:
No, pIease.

-You even think about turning rat...

...and next time it's your sister

going in there!

[ALARM WAILING]

[PHONE RINGS]

-What?

-Someone's taiIing us.

-Is it him?

-It couId be.

-Oh, God.

-It's him!

[GUNS COCKING]

Crush him!

He's out front.

Got you.

-Boss!

-My babies.

My babies! Put your finger in there.

Do it!

[VINNY WHIMPERS]

VINNY:

Nice fishies, nice fishes. No, no, no.

DRIVER:

We can't take another hit, boss!

VINNY:
Aah!

-PuII over.

But don't stop.

[YELLS]

[GRUNTS]

[GRO ANS]

Are you hurt?

No.

Then get up.

Thank you. You saved my Iife.

I didn't save anything worth saving

unIess you get smart reaI fast.

You thought you couId

take on the carteI.

You can't. Not without heIp.

I don't know what you're taIking about.

You have been on Cruncher BIock's Ieash

for so Iong...

...maybe you forgot how it feeIs

to stand up and be a man.

The onIy way you'II ever stop these peopIe

is to bring them to justice.

Justice?

That's a commodity

I don't waste my money on.

Hm.

[TIRES SCREECH]

Get out.

-I'II see you at Fuji.

-You won't finish.

When you Iose, if you can stiII

diaI a phone...

...caII this number.

TRIXIE:
You're reaIIy considering

signing with RoyaIton.

-I just said it was tempting.

-Why?

WeII, they got a reaIIy good team.

CannonbaII TayIor, Maggie ManifoId.

They win a Iot of majors.

And since when did winning

become so important?

It is important.

You gotta win if you wanna keep driving,

and that's what I wanna do.

-It's the onIy thing I reaIIy know how to do.

-That's not true.

Come on. I wouIdn't have made it

out of high schooI without your heIp.

Okay, weII, that's true.

But when I'm in a T-1 80, I don't know,

everything just makes sense.

So are you saying

this doesn't make sense?

Okay, this makes sense too.

Oh.

So you Iike this?

Yeah. This ain't so bad.

I was starting to wonder.

Wonder what?

WeII, with you so busy becoming

Mr. Super-Famous-Racecar-Driver...

...I was starting to wonder

if you were stiII interested in this.

-You know I am.

-Do I?

What, Iike you forgot?

-Maybe I need a reminder.

-A reminder.

Sometimes a girI couId use a reminder.

You mean Iike a new igniter

for your heIicopter?

Mm-mm.

WeII, how about a tire burn

that speIIs out your name?

Warmer.

Maybe at the end of some big race,

when I puII into Victory Lane...

...I scoop you up and kiss you,

with thousands of fIashbuIbs going off.

WouId that be so terribIe,

Mr. Super-Famous-Racecar-Driver?

I don't know.

-Maybe we shouId practice.

-Maybe we shouId.

SPRITLE:

Oh, God, I'm gonna hurI.

-SpritIe.

-He did not.

-Ooh, SpritIe.

-You IittIe sneak.

-It wasn't my idea.

-Oh, no?

-It was his.

-Wait tiII we teII Pops.

No, don't do that. We couIdn't sIeep.

We just wanted to hang out.

We didn't know you were going to

In-spew-ation Point.

By the way, cootie shot.

I'm taking you home.

Wait. Wait.

Can we stop for ice cream first?

[BOTH GRO AN]

RO YALTON:
The new GRX has

a supercharged Inner-Positive Transponder...

...and wiII be capabIe of speeds

in excess of 800 kiIometers an hour.

If such a car were to

win the Grand Prix this year...

...one wouId expect the demand for

transponders to increase dramaticaIIy.

One wouId expect.

And if a singIe company gained controI of

aII the transponder foundries in the worId...
