We've just passed 12.

Hurry up! Hurry up!

Let me do it!

I know.

Are you sure this is the right road?

It's a shortcut.

The motorway! They're dead meat.

We have more power.

What was that fence for Daniel..?

The motorway isn't finished. It's a dead end.

The fact that you know that

doesn't reassure me.

I may look calm to you

but I'm crapping it here..

Not long.now..

That's what worries me,

I wanted a long life.

Ten seconds.

Squash that rat!

Stop. There's no bridge!

Five seconds.

GO! Trash him! Trash him!

Let them win Daniel.

You only bet 10F. I don't want to die for it.

It's now or never! Hold on!!!

Excellent, Karl!

We won!

Are you sure?

I swear, you scared me to death!

I really thought

you'd rather die than lose.

With the tortoise and the hare,

it's always the tortoise who wins!

Einstein! You know "La Fontaine?"

That damn sh*t! Goddamn!

Damned...

...shithead!

The big hare is not happy to be

f***ed by the little tortoise.

Cougar will be happy.

He's wanted to taste hare for a long time.

Ja, ja...big hare

big hare.

I'm sorry about this place.

It's not very romantic.

But I wanted you so much.

Truly?

I was starting to wonder...

Shall we do it again?

Later.

We have to go now.

Daniel, What are you doing?

I've been looking for you for 15 minutes.

What were you doing in the dark?

Developing photos.

This is not the time for photos.

The Commissioner is waiting!

In the name of the President of the Republic

..it is my privilege to present to you

the Knight's Order of National Merit.

Congratulations.

I owe you an apology.

For not believing in me or for slapping me?

Both.

Can you ever forgive me?

I'll think of a way...

I read about your exploits.

Amazing!

This experience made us think.

Thanks.

We are going to change the way we see the road.

...create a more efficient police force.

Modernise.

All thanks to you.

Thankyou sir.

The medal is only a symbol.

It won't get your licence back.

I was hoping for more...

Mercy?

Yes, that would be good.

We had evidence to put you in

jail for years. But you are free.

I'm not free. I'm on foot.

I understand.

Without a car

you are like an orphan.

Yes an pedestrian orphan.

I understand.

I have a solution

but I'm not sure you will like it.

Tell me and we'll see.

So are you happy or not?

Yes.

You're not happy?

Yes it's super.

I don't understand. First Grand Prix.

First grid, super car, friends,...

...beautiful girlfriend. What's wrong?

The sponsor!

We find him money, a car

and still he's unhappy.

Tell the cheerleaders to stop waving their pom-poms.

It distracts me.

You know what you could do

to make me happy?

Yeah? What?

Win the race! It doesn't matter a damn

which sponsor's name is on the car.

Ok then, Take the Champagne out of

the fridge 'cos I don't like it too cold.

Let's go, Daniel!
