Viva Las Vegas Page #4

We did it! We got the motor!

We did it, baby!

Of course, we do have

a second prize for Miss Martin.

Take a look here.

How about that?

Not the girls, they go with me.

But here, for you,

is a genuine, regulation-size...

...beautiful pool table.

Here's a wonderful evening of fun

for the family.

Mom, Pop and the kiddies.

How about that?

I never expected anything

so beautiful or so big.

I'm very happy. Thank you.

Thank you so much.

And now, the first prize.

First prize. Here we go.

Lucky, this is yours.

This beautiful silver trophy

is all yours.

You hold it for one year and next year

you hand it to next year's winner.

Wait a minute.

That's not all. That's not all.

You also receive...

Money. Money.

...an all-expense paid...

...two weeks' honeymoon!

Right here in fabulous Las Vegas!

How about that?

Oh, no.

- Just one more.

- Just one more.

Very good. That's all, kids,

thanks very much.

- Congratulations.

- Nice going, Lucky.

- Thank you.

- Ask her, Lucky. Go ahead, ask her.

Rusty?

I'll trade you this honeymoon for your

pool table because you don't need it.

I don't need a honeymoon.

Besides, I love it.

It's got a lot of practical uses.

She won't loosen up with it.

She can sell it, same as you.

There's no sense in trying.

We lost our motor.

I think I'll go jump over the dam

and take this with me.

Excuse me, folks. It's rescue time.

- Hey, buddy. You seen Shorty?

- Nope.

I can't find him. Looks like

he ran out. Took my car too.

No, that's not the way I want it.

Okay, Mancini. You win.

- You'll drive for me?

- No, I'll work on your car.

Okay. You work on my car,

I'll work on your girl.

You mind if I watch?

I always wanted to take a look at one,

see how they've changed.

But of course, Mr. Martin.

- Lucky will explain everything to you.

- Well, thanks.

Sure. If it's all right

with your daughter.

What has she got to say about it?

What are these?

That's a carburetor.

There are three here.

The only change...

Three?

Well, Father.

I thought you were going fishing.

I'm practically on my way.

Then you can take me with you.

Anybody who would marry this girl

is a fool.

Hey, Lucky! Lucky!

Everybody! Look!

I got the motor!

Wait'll you see her! She's a beauty!

- We got it?

- Yes! She's ours!

We got it!

- Did you do this?

- Save your gratitude.

Why should I do it?

- Did you do it, Rusty?

- Me?

You think I'd have any part

of this thing?

Stop being a detective.

Get to work.

You think you can have it running

by midnight? It's noon.

- We can.

- You bet.

- If you need help, I'll...

- Father!

Honey, why don't you go fishing?

The fishing is good.

We need a chain pull.

Mr. Martin, an N wrench.

The torque wrench, Shorty.

On the double!

- We haven't got much time.

- Here.

- N wrench.

- Beautiful.

It's not an N wrench.

- Wheel's okay.

- Right.

Father, I brought you some food.

If he'll allow you to eat it.

Sorry, Pop. Why don't you take five.

Five what? Five days?

Get this junk out of here.

This junk happens to be nourishment

for my father.

Do you really think your junk

will be ready for midnight?

If you came to talk,

you're wasting everybody's time.

If you want to help,

put these on and get to work.

All right.

I will.

Hurry up and get me a wrench.

What wrench?

Over there in the tool case.

Yeah, sure.

Don't touch anything

unless I tell you, please.

Where's the cord?

Put that plug back in!

Will you stop crossing the wires?

You're liable to blow us up!

Let me put you

where you won't bother us.

Mr. Martin, will you get the girl out

before she louses up the race?

Honey, go fishing. Make him happy.

She's plain ignorant. Let her

stick around. She'll learn something.

- Where's the gun?

- What does he need a gun for?

- To shoot you if you don't move.

- No, a grease gun, honey. Over there.

- Is this it?

- Yeah!

I'm sorry. If we went fishing,

none of this would have happened.

Give me the gun.

Oh, no.

Daughters.

Attention in the pit and garage area.

Let's get all the cars

to the starting grid now.

A few are missing.

Let's bring them up.

Welcome, ladies and gentlemen,

to the first Las Vegas Grand Prix.

We'll have TV cameras along

the circuit to bring you this coverage.

Also, we'll be in communication

by telephone.

Making his first appearance in this

country is Count Mancini.

It won't start!

- We did it!

- We did it!

- Get them, Lucky!

- That's the idea.

At this time,

we have not seen Lucky Jackson.

We have gotten word that they're working

frantically to get this car ready.

Come on, let's push it!

Come on, let's push it. Push!

- We got it.

- I found the copter to fly the crew!

- What crew?

- You, your dad and me.

- Yeah, me.

- Come on, let's go!

- Come on, Lucky!

- Get them!

Get them, Lucky! Good luck!

Here comes Lucky Jackson now.

This is a real thriller.

We didn't think he'd make it...

...but they're bringing his car up now

and he will be in the race.

This course will be around

Hoover Dam, Mount Charleston...

...and various points

throughout the desert.

Attention all drivers.

Will you go to your

starting positions now, gentlemen?

We'll start our countdown as soon

as the drivers take their positions.

- It looks like they're there.

- Ten, nine, eight...

...seven, six...

...five...

...four, three...

...two, one.

Come on, let's go. Rusty, come on.

- Hurry! Come on!

- Sit back! Put your seat belt on.

It's 6:
10 a. m.

Right now,

they're approaching Hoover Dam.

Everybody coming through

in apparently good order.

As the cars come over the dam,

a beautiful sight to see.

Come on! Come on!

Come on!

Come on, Lucky!

We did it! We did it!

You made a good investment when you

brought the money for that motor...

- Good luck.

- Thanks.

- Send me a card. I'll miss you.

- Right, partner.

Take good care of her.
