" Destination, Monsieur?" " Monte Carlo." "Will you give it to me in English?" " Sure." "We're lost." " Thanks." "Hey!" " Herbie!" " What's he doing?" "I think he's getting us un-lost." "Hi there!" "Say, we're looking for the Trans-France Race Exposition." "Straight ahead on your right." "You can't miss it." "That's going to be some race." "Huh?" "Well, You're looking at the winner right here!" "This car?" "The winner?" " He didn't?" " He did." "All this for the museum payroll?" "For the most magnificent diamond in the world! "L'Etoile de Joie!"" "Could we have just a little peek?" "On this very afternoon at one o'clock precisely!" "You and all of Paris will be able to take the peek!" "Fresh from his triumphs on the European racing circuit," "Bruno von Stickle!" "Who will be driving his Lazer 91 7 GT Coupe." "Here we have a magnificent..." "The American entry is just arriving!" "Mr Jim Douglas..." "Mr Douglas will be driving a... a..." "Mr Douglas will be driving a most unusual entry." "Something funny must have happened." "Uh-huh." "Us." "How about giving Jim Douglas and Wheely Applegate a nice welcome?" "This little car is the toast of America." "When was your last win?" "12 years ago." "Only because that was our last race." "Yes." "This race... we're kind of staging a comeback here." "So it's very important to us." "Of course, we won't be coming back very far unless we qualify, will we?" "Qualify, are you kidding?" "Don't let his modesty or this car coming out of retirement fool you!" "There isn't a finer tuned, cleaner engine anywhere!" "I'm sure it should be easy to keep clean." "All you have to do is drop it in the washing machine with your socks." "Appreciate your humour, but don't worry about this washing m... car!" "It's a real jewel!" "But M Ribeaux, isn't it too much responsibility for one man?" "One man?" "One man and the finest security system that can be devised!" "All in the computer." "This alone would keep the diamonds safe from the grasp of a thief!" "But, one would only have to reach in and..." "The pillow is sensitive to the heat of the hand when it gets close." "I'm sorry, monsieur." "What does that do?" "I'm engaging a system of electric-eye beams that surround it." "One last precaution." "Would you please step out of the room?" "Now the entire floor is a trap!" "Mere cigar ash would activate the alarm." "Right on schedule!" "Only ten steps to six million dollars!" "And one step to Devil's Island if anything touches that floor." "Pardon, you forgot to give me the computer and the numbers?" "I did not forget." "They were put in my trust and will remain with me!" "One does not part with the only copy in existence!" "Patience, Quincy." "Electronics is the answer." "This notebook is our passport to the future." "I'd sooner put my trust in this bit of rope!" "When the man has it all worked out for us, it's silly not to use it." "You had to bring the whole kit, didn't you?" "Just checking for the radar beam." "It's there." "Now it isn't." "Some chunk of rock, eh?" "One could spend a lifetime without setting eyes on a rock like that." "Let alone getting your hands on it." "Patience, Quincy." "The pillow is the trap." "One more set of numbers." "Why can't a man write an 0 that looks like an 0?" "Or is it a 9?" "We can't take a chance!" "I don't trust nobody!" "I'm glad I come prepared!" "The old ways are still the best!" "We've got six minutes before the guard checks." "Get on with it." "Aren't you ever going to get that thing fixed?" "Oh!" "I'm sorry!" "I'm sorry!" "Excuse me!" "I just..." "Jim?" "A word to the wise." "Paris may be the land of love, but It can also be the land of heartbreak." "I tell you what I'll do." "I'll make a deal with you." "I'm willing to resist the girls if you are." "Well, that's some sacrifice!" "I know." "But I'm willing to make it." "You're made of strong stuff, Wheely." "Patience, Quincy!" "You tell that to the guard!" "He'll be here in two minutes." "Gimme that!" "We're coming to this big right-hand sweeper, see." "Dropped into third gear and jumped on it!" "Took three cars!" "Just hit the straight." "Then back into fourth and we were flying!" "Tacking seven or eight thousand." "We blew off the lead car about 100 yards from the finish line... and won it going away!" "How about that?" "Huh?" "I didn't understand what he said." "That's OK." "He didn't understand you either." "Come to think of it, I don't think I did!" "There's no time!" "That guard's practically in the door!" "You want that stone, don't you?" "Yeah." "And there's only one way to get it!" "It's not possible!" "Attention, attention!" "Nobody is to leave the area." "I repeat..." "We still have to qualify!" "Come on!" " What's the trouble?" " I don't know!" "Ladies and gentlemen... there has been a theft in the museum!" "Everyone will be searched before leaving the area." "I repeat, nobody is to leave the area until you have been searched." "Here, mate... there's no point us both getting caught!" "No point either of us getting caught." "I repeat, nobody is to leave the area." "I repeat, nobody is to leave the area until he has been searched." "We'll never see it again!" "That little car?" "You can." "It'll be in a showroom on the Champs Elysees this afternoon." "Yes, yes, yes." "But are you sure all the security precautions had been taken?" "I have searched my memory." "Could I have forgotten something?" "Inspector, residue from a footprint." "I might have overlooked it but I heard your voice calling..." ""Fontenoy, remember, no clue is too small!"" "Did you also hear me say, "Take it to the lab and get it analysed!"?" "Yes, sir!" "And I am doing just that!" "No!" "No, I couldn't have forgotten anything!" "I'm as sure the security was on yesterday as I'm sure it's off today!" "Fontenoy!" "Attention, please!" "The qualifying rounds will begin in eight minutes!" "Douglas and Applegate." "Douglas..." "Oh, yes!" "You're in the heat after this one." "Good luck!" "Thank you!" "That's the same heat I'm in, Douglas." "You're going to need more than luck." "You're going to need wings!" "Oh, yeah?" "You may just be in for a little surprise." "I can see your surprise." "It is very little." "Look for a bigger surprise in the race!" "There will be qualifying today and tomorrow... with the top sixteen times running in the Trans-France race." "Douglas, you are not in this heat!" "Come back!" "Say, Herbie, where you going?" " You could get us disqualified!" " He could get us killed!" "What...?" " What was that?" " I don't know!" "Forget the music!" "He's out of his mind!" "He's out of his mind, alright!" "Over that luscious little Lancia!" "What is...?" "I'm telling you, Paris and women have got him!" "I'll have to warn him, the same way I did you!" "Like father, like car." "What are you doing?" " Now wait a minute, buddy..." " Whaddaya mean, buddy?" " Miss Buddy!" " You... you..." "Jim Douglas." "I'm very sorry..." "You think because I'm a woman driver, you can get away with anything?" "I'm not a pigeon for your fun and games!" "I've had it with you clowns!" "No, I'm not the clown!" "Believe me, it was Herbie!" "Oh, yes." "You're blaming your dizzy mechanic!" "No, no, it's..." "Herbie's the car." "And he's kind of like a person." "He's..." "I know that sounds funny." "Crazy is more like it!" "What were you doing out there, Douglas?" "It's hard to explain!" "Not for me." "He doesn't want a woman in the race!" "Miss Darcy, you'll get another chance to qualify." "We're very sorry." "You're sorry." "He's sorry." "Everyone's sorry!" "But I didn't qualify!" "If you wish to qualify, M Douglas, you have exactly ten minutes!" "You hear that, Herbie?" "Forget that powderpuff and get your mind on racing!" "You better believe it." "Gilbert..." "We're going to cook that chicken, European-style." "When he sticks out his neck, we will chop it off." "We'll see whose neck gets chopped off!" "Right, Herbie?" "You better close your mouth, turkey!" "You're gonna get our tyre marks across your teeth!" " Where'd they go?" " I really got snookered!" "I'm even rustier than I thought!" "Hey, Herbie, what are you doing?" "It's her again!" "Oh, no!" "Well, it took a crowd to do it, but at least we lost the Lancia!" "Not to mention the first qualifying round." " Did you get hold of Double-X?" " He wasn't very happy!" "Who is?" "Where is that stupid little car?" "Patience!" "Excuse me, sir." "Impressive racing cars, but I don't seem to see the little Volkswagen." "Ah, the Douglas car?" "It will be here." "Patience, my friends!" "If one more person says "patience" to me...!" "If we don't turn up with that diamond..." "Double-X will mark the spot where we're buried!" "Here, here." "Don't dig our graves just yet." "Come on." "Let's grab it." "Don't tell me patience!" "In front of 1 00 witnesses?" "We need a plan." "Attention, everyone!" "We'd like to show you a film of the route the cars will take when they leave Paris." "If someone will catch the lights while I draw the drapes...?" "I think the gentleman just gave us a plan." "The fine machines you see here will be among those testing the gruelling route twisting through the French Alps..." "That's it." "Back up slowly." "As if nothing was the matter." "..pick up speed as they race along the French countryside." "...the challenge that becomes evident as we approach the French Alps.." "It's not here, Max." "The car's just not here." "...even the sturdiest of cars." "Perhaps we're backing in the wrong direction?" "Just keep backing up!" "...for Monte Carlo." "And for someone, victory is just a step away!" " Herbie!" " You mean no Herbie!" "Excuse me!" "Excuse me!" "My car?" "My car!" "Has anybody seen my car?" "Oh!" "That was your car?" "Yes, yes!" "It's gone!" "Yes, it's gone." "Did you see who took it?" "Not exactly, mademoiselle." "Excuse me, I hate to bother you..." "You!" "I should have known I'd see you." "You and trouble go together!" "Yeah, OK." "We've lost our car." "I'd like to know if you've seen it." "Who cares about your Volkswagen?" "My Lancia has been stolen!" " Stolen?" " Your car?" " And your car?" " Yeah." "I saw them both." "Then you saw who stole them!" "You would not believe this!" "I would not believe this!" "No-one would believe this!" "What?" "I think they steal each other!" "Come on!" "Taxi!" "Cuckoo!" "Cuckoo!" "Cuckoo!" "Talk about a needle in a haystack!" "How we gonna find 'em?" " I don't know.Just keep looking." " My life is riding on that car!" "Lady, I got a few things to prove myself." "Where'd you take a boyfriend in Paris?" "Boyfriend...?" "Don't tell me this is your cute way of making a pass?" "If I had romance in mind, would he be along?" "Right!" " It's Herbie." " Herbie?" "I don't believe this!" "Well, it's true!" "There's something about that car." "He's got..." "Well, we've been through a lot together." "Nothing like this!" "Do you think this is something to laugh about?" "Forgive me, I laugh at the radio." "Two cars, they take a ride on the bateau-mouche!" " Would you believe such a thing?" " Bateau-mouche..." "Take a left at that bridge!" "Maybe I can explain this over dinner tonight." "Maybe not." "I don't know, Herbie." "12 years is a long time." "Hope we can handle it." "Hope I can handle it." "Well, all taken care of,Jim." "Had a little talk with Herbie." "Had to straighten him out." "I don't mind a car with a heart." "But I will not tolerate a car falling for another car!" "What did you expect him to fall in love with?" "The Goodyear blimp?" "I said, "Listen, Herbie!" "We're over here for one thing only!" "That's to make the biggest comeback in racing history!" "So no women in training camp!" "You just forget that little chick, and you can do it." "Just a matter of mind over metal!"" " You expecting company?" " No." "Detective Fontenoy here." "And this is the famous Inspector Bouchet!" "I'm Jim Douglas and this is my partner, Wheely Applegate." "If there's a problem about our car cruising on the bateau-mouche..." "Bateau-mouche?" "No, it's about the $6-million diamond stolen today." "Perhaps the most lovely diamond in the world!" " Fontenoy!" " No?" "We are questioning everyone who was in the area at the time." "Perhaps you can help us." "Pushing the car won't help me get the cap off!" "Must have rolled." "Well, pull the handbrake on!" " Door's locked." " Put your hand through the window!" "Let me get at it!" "I'm gonna hot-wire this car." "We'll get the diamond at the garage." "Well, I'm not waiting." "Car, it's either you or me!" "I suppose you're gonna tell me that car drove away by itself!" "No, and I'm not gonna tell Double-X that, either!" "What's happening?" "There's seven cars ahead and we're last, that's what's happening!" "Darcy." " Qualifying today?" " I hope so!" "New Herbie?" "He's not even an old Herbie!" "He's not any Herbie at all!" "My lecture must have fallen on a deaf carburettor." "He doesn't need a lecture, he needs a pension!" "Now you listen, Herbie!" "We didn't come out of mothballs to be the laughingstock of the continent." "Get the lead out of your pants right now." "Or I'll ship you home, have you hung on a wall in Retirement Village!" "Now you're talking." "We got the old Herbie back!" "The old Herbie and the new Herbie rolled into one!" "I'm telling you, it's the old Herbie and he's doing it for us!" "He's not doing it for us." "He's doing it for her." "OK." "So he did it for her." "Look at that!" "I never saw anything like that in my life." " Congratulations, you did it!" " Thank you!" " Well, somebody did it!" " Who cares?" "It's hello, comeback!" "A record time for this track." "You shattered von Stickle's mark!" "Congratulations, Douglas." "You have just won the right to taste my dust tomorrow." "And mine, Douglas." "Today you break my record." "Tomorrow, I will turn your "hello, comeback"" "into goodbye for ever." "Auf Wiedersehen." " Couple of charm-school dropouts!" " Yeah." "Well, one showboat deserves another." "I'll go get him." "Felicitations." " Absolutely amazing!" " I knew I had a good car, but..." "The exact same time as the Douglas car!" "A track record!" " Congratulations." " Thank you." "And thanks for staying off the track." "It's one way I can prove what I can do." "Well, it wasn't exactly you." "You've got a real problem about women in racing." "What is it?" "We drive too slow... or too fast?" "I didn't mean that." "It's not you, it's your car." " And my car." " I don't wanna hear about your car" "I have to tell you this." "I know it's hard to believe but..." "You see, Herbie's not just a car." "He..." "I didn't believe it myself at first." "The little guy's actually got a..." "When a car like Herbie comes to Paris, he meets a beautiful Lancia that's also like Herbie is, with a..." "It's natural that they're gonna fall in..." "You're right." "I wouldn't believe it either." "When the men come by from the booby hatch, go quietly." "Just trying to warn you about your car." "Let me warn you about me!" "I'm in this race to win, and frankly, I'd like to see you and your car disappear entirely!" "Quincy." "Pull over!" "We want that car!" " What you gonna do?" " I'm gonna pull over." "Hang on!" "Darkness is about to fall upon you." "Amazing!" " They're still coming!" " I think they are trying to kill us!" "I never thought she'd go that far to make us disappear!" " Who's that?" " That cute little time bomb, Diane!" "She set us up to knock us out of the race, like she said!" "Wait!" "She didn't say that." "Exactly." "They never say what they mean!" "That's what makes the female of the species deadlier than the male!" "You read that someplace." "Yes, and I've got a mother, three sisters and two ex-wives to prove it!" "They never said they wanted me out." "But when I got home the lock was changed!" "I don't take strong arm stuff from anybody." "Male or female!" "Then somebody better teach this female the rules of the game!" "If she doesn't know them now, she will when I'm through with her!" "You might as well settle back, Herbie." "Once Jim gets started, nothing can stop him." "Who hired thugs?" "I'm just as good as anybody on that track." "I don't need anybody to win my races for me!" "That is the trouble with all of you!" "You don't think a woman can do anything!" "Yeah, I know he seems like a quiet sort of guy." "But when a fight is inevitable, he never ducks." "Women are supposed to be nurses and secretaries and schoolteachers!" "I've taken it all my life!" "I took it from my mother and father!" "And my aunts and my uncles!" "But I will not take it from you!" "When old Jim gets started, I'd hate to get in his way!" "He's a regular steamroller!" "Coward!" "I'm a race driver, and I can win it on my own." "You know, I think you can!" "Double-X?" "I..." "I'm afraid we've..." "we've had another complication." "I'm beginning to think you are the complication!" "That..." "That item should have been in my hands by now!" "Don 't worry, sir." "It's still in the gas tank." "Then bring me the tank!" "What are you waiting for?" "We've lost them, sir!" "We don't know where they are!" "Excuse me, I'm looking for Inspector Bouchet?" "Impossible." "Are you trying to tell me a couple of simple-minded Americans have disappeared?" "Hold on." "Hope we're not disturbing you." "No!" "Your timing could not be more perfect!" "I want to thank you for your continued co-operation in the matter of the stolen diamond." " Well, tonight we need your help." " Somebody's after our car!" "That seems impossible." "I think they're trying to knock us out of the race!" "I was wondering if there's some way, I dunno, we can put the car in protective custody for tonight!" "If you're not too busy trying to find that diamond." "No!" "One is just as important as the other, I assure you." "A moment." "Oh!" "I mean,..." " We'll wait in the car." " Good idea." "We wouldn't want anything to happen to it." "Not now." "Hello?" "The car is here!" "Never mind how!" "Never mind how!" "No, it's too risky for me." "I will see the car is at 32, Avenue Mozart, within the hour." "Don't get lost on the way!" "Your worry is now my worry, gentlemen." "Rest easily." "I'll take personal charge of this valuable possession." " Inspector!" " Yes, Fontenoy?" "Off duty or not, sir, I couldn't sleep thinking how the diamond must weigh on your mind." "At the moment, I have a car weighing on my mind." "Someone wants to put us out of the race." "With your time in the trials, it does not take a master of deduction like Inspector Bouchet to see you could win!" "Which is why I personally will ensure the safety of this automobile." "Put your mind at ease, gentlemen." "Get a good night's sleep." "Thank you." "You too, Herbie!" " Big day tomorrow, pal." "Goodnight." " Goodnight." "No, permit me, sir!" "You have enough responsibility with the diamond!" "I'll look after the car!" "Don't be ridiculous!" " What are you doing?" " Anything for you, Inspector!" "Get out of that car." "Leave it to me, sir!" "I'll keep this car hidden so no-one will find it!" "Fontenoy!" "My best man." " Night." " Night." "My very best!" "We've checked that, sir." "It's nowhere." "We've covered the whole city!" "Now what?" "In the morning, before the race, that ridiculous little car will get gasoline." "When it does, you'll be there!" "Welcome, everyone, to the inaugural running of the Trans-France Race!" "They are all here, qualifying drivers and cars from the world over." "Each looking forward expectantly one of the most punishing races ever, and these drivers know it." "They have no doubt gone through these cars time after time, and yet they're still refining and tuning each car." "Each preparing for the gruelling race that will test man and machine." "I just wish I had a machine to test!" "I hope what's-his-name didn't hide Herbie so well he can't find him." "I wish you hadn't said that." "I'm a mechanic." "I need a car!" "There's a million details have to be taken care of for a race!" "And you know I pride myself on being thorough." "My tools!" "Where's my tools!" "Right here." "I knew that!" "Inspector, the race is about to begin!" "Where's our car!" "Believe me, I am as concerned as you are!" "But I'm sure Fontenoy will be here." "He's unpredictable, but dependable." "What?" "Let me check with headquarters again!" "It will be here!" "You be ready!" "Who's that?" "That's Double-X, you dummy!" "Better duck, here comes trouble!" "Hello." "Hello." " Look, about last night..." " I know." "Me too." "Sorry." "Not about missing me with that vase, I hope?" "No." "I guess I was a little uptight last night." "Nervous about the race." "Yeah." "Well, I threw a few brickbats myself." "In the wrong direction." "We didn't get off to a flying start, did we?" "Herbie and I take a little getting used to." "When you keep including Herbie you take a lot of getting used to." "By the way, where is... it?" " Well, I..." " Douglas." "Did you misplace your little car?" "Just temporarily." "You should look under a rock, you might find it." "No, not under a rock, Gilbert, under a gravestone." "Attention, everyone!" "All drivers bring your machines to the grid!" "Five minutes to race time!" "It's just as well, Douglas." "You know the saying." "They never come back." "Well, I'd better go." "Diane!" "Good luck." "I think you mean that." "Drivers will please take your positions as quickly as possible!" "Take the brake off!" "The brake is off!" "You know something?" "That Lancia's waiting on Herbie." "Yeah?" "Well, so are we!" "All we need is her hanging around!" "Listen..." "I hope you had nothing to do with this!" " I didn't but I think I know who did." " I know, your Herbie!" "Yes, Herbie's missing, and your Lancia's missing him!" "You must think I'm a fool with this Herbie, Herbie, Herbie!" "Well, I don't believe in fairy tales or Herbie or you!" "Jim?" "Pop the hood, will you?" " What are you doing?" " You want your car started?" "Listen..." "I know how you feel." "But you better get over it right now." "Forget Herbie." "You know why he isn't here?" "He's found somebody else, that's why." "And he didn't have the guts to tell you, so I'm telling you." "Oh, yeah." "We're talking about the same guy, alright." "Old Herbie." "Old fun-loving, fickle Herbie." " Now you see him, now you don't." " He's right, you know." "So far we've had to tell a Fiat, a Thunderbird and an Austin Healey." "I know how you feel." "It's... fun while it lasted." "But the truth is, you weren't the first and you won't be the last." "You might as well take off." "Will somebody help me start my car?" "Let me have a look." " Thank you!" " No problem!" "I was beginning to think everyone was crazy!" "Well, so much for the Lancia!" "Yes." "So much for both of 'em, I guess." "Douglas!" "Let's go!" "Don't you realise you've got pole position!" " I also realise we don't have a car!" " But It'll be here!" "It had better be, in two minutes, or you can try again next year!" "Ladies and gentlemen!" "The first inaugural running of the Trans-France Race is about to begin!" "What's that?" "It's an armoured truck." "That armoured truck is us!" "Excuse me!" "Yes, yes!" "Where's Herbie?" "Are you crazy?" "We're supposed to be in a race and you're guarding the crown jewels!" "We didn't travel 6,000 miles to see some French pastry dressed up like a tin soldier." "I've had it with the French!" "The men, the women and..." "Herbie?" "Are we still in it?" "You could be starting and finishing in last in place!" "No time to lose." "You have things to attend to!" " Gas!" "Move it, Wheely!" " Check." "Top of my list!" "Fill it up!" "Monsieur Douglas, stop!" "What?" "What do you mean, stop?" "The tank is full." "I filled it this morning." "Let's go!" "Wheely" "Come on, Herbie, the race is back there!" "I know." "He can't fool me, he's looking for that Lancia!" "Inspector!" "What I was going to say, sir." "Suppose there's a link between the men who attacked the car" " and the men who stole the diamond!" " Not now!" "What if they have hidden the stolen diamond in the car?" " What?" " If I may suggest... we should have our men search that car immediately." " There is no time!" " But it's still here!" "Yes... but it is obviously tuning up." "Or something." "Just say the word, and the men and I will search it bumper to bumper!" "The word is no, Fontenoy!" "No?" "What you don't seem to understand is that a thorough search would take over an hour." "An hour's delay would deprive Douglas of winning a race he has travelled half way round the globe to enter." "Sir?" "I admire you for your consideration." "And I understand now exactly how you are thinking." "Sorry, sir." "Forget the Lancia, Herbie, she's gone!" "You heard him right." "Gone." "Split!" "Yeah, that's right." "She took off in that race like you never existed." "She wanted me to tell you it was fun while it lasted but when push came to shove she shoved off." "That's just the way women are." "Might as well face it." "You've been deserted.Jilted. Abandoned!" "Too late now." "We'll get it in Monte Carlo." "After the race." "Inspector!" "I think you will be proud of me!" "What now, Fontenoy?" "I have done exactly what I know you would want." "Notified Monte Carlo." "Their police will search the car when it arrives." "I'll take care of my truck, sir." "Catch anything?" "I didn't think so." " Which way?" " Right." "Left!" "Hope they get that trophy to Monaco in a fast jet, or we'll beat it." "Unfortunately someone put the Alps in our way." "The way Herbie's flying, nothing could stop him, even the Himalayas!" "This road's not even on the map!" "Maybe we should ask directions?" " From who, a French mountain goat?" " Must be somebody." " Maybe I'll just call from in here!" " Yeah!" "Hey." "There's someone out there!" "No." "That's just me!" "I never heard a real echo before!" "Will you sit down, Wheely!" "Just one more, OK?" "Come on, Wheely!" "I got somebody." "The guys who were after Herbie!" "Get out of the car!" "I'm taking over!" "I'll drive!" "If it worked once, maybe it'll work again!" "I like your yo-de-lay-hoo!" "Well, we're back on the beam." "How many cars you figure ahead of us?" "Would you believe, all of them?" "Is that a knocking I hear in the gas tank?" "Not in my gas tank!" "Never!" "Sound like something clonking around in there!" "We either listen to the driver and stop to take the gas tank apart or we listen to the mechanic and try to win!" "I'm listen to the mechanic!" "Let's go, Herbie!" "What's wrong?" "I don't know." "Oil pressure's up, there's plenty of gas..." "But he's not getting it." "I hate to mention this again, but..." "That nonsense about the gas tank again?" "Alright, let's get it straight who the mechanic is here!" "You say it's the gas tank, and I say it isn't!" "You see..." "It isn't the gas tank." "It's this rock that was in the gas tank..." "Hold it!" "There's only one kind of rock that glistens like that!" "Sure, quartz." "There's millions of them in any quarry in Philly." "But not one that's worth six million bucks!" "Huh?" "L'Etoile de Joie!" "The tall "de" what?" "L'Etoile de Joie!" "That's the biggest hunk of diamond I ever saw in my life!" "What I don't understand is how it..." " The black sedan!" " Huh?" "Where?" "No, no." "They're the ones that robbed the museum!" "They weren't trying to knock us out, they wanted this out of Herbie!" "Thank you for helping us." "Up with your hands." "You gave us the slip for the last time!" "We'll take the rock." "I don't suppose you'd believe that was just a hunk of quartz." "The rock." "Let me have it." "The rock!" "Well, come on, hand it over!" "Well, what do we do with them now?" "Thanks, Herbie." "We tie 'em up." "Double-X,... we lost them!" "First time we've ever been done in by a car!" "The goods will be in Monte Carlo in a couple of hours." "No chance of stopping them." "See, we're rather tied up at the moment." "Get me the airport." "We passed every car on the road!" " All except the Lancia." " After the way she jilted Herbie, that's one car he won't want to come second to!" "Right Herbie?" "Hey, isn't that it?" " Sure is." " Maybe we should have stopped." "Stopped." "Are you kidding?" "Throw away a hundred grand and the biggest comeback of our lives?" " We've got this." "We're a shoo-in!" " She's in trouble." "Cars get in trouble." "Let the rescue boys bail her out!" "Yeah, but she could be in real danger!" "I'm sorry, Wheely." "Sometimes a comeback comes second." "Herbie doesn't seem to think so!" "Why should Herbie stop after the lies you told him back there?" "The jilted lover!" "Why, if he knew that Lancia had waited for him at the starting line, wouldn't even budge until you lied to her about him throwing her over!" "I mean, she..." "Why, he..." "I mean, he'd be back at her side right now!" "I hate to say this,Jim, but you got a big mouth!" "Hang on, Diane!" "Thank you!" "Thank you!" " Thank you!" " You OK?" "I..." "I think so." "I missed a shift and lost control." "That's not all you coulda lost!" "Herbie, what are you doing?" "Herbie, there's no time!" "Forget it, Wheely." "He's gonna get his girlfriend out of the mud." "And us out of the race." "I see it, but I don't believe it!" "Well, you can believe this." "We are now out of the money!" "Because sometimes a comeback comes second?" "Who's given up, buddy?" "Not me!" "You come with us!" "No, no, I'm gonna stay with my car." "Looks like we're all gonna stay with her car." "Let's go, Wheely!" "You're not going anyplace, are you?" "Now listen to me." "Herbie, I know just how you feel." "But I also know you're not a quitter!" "Now show 'em you can do it, Herbie!" "Win it for them!" "And for her." "The rest is up to you!" "Good luck!" "Thanks." "Oh, come on, Herbie!" "Open up, will ya?" "Come on!" "I know you're sore about what I said, but I'm sorry!" "Look, I did it for you!" "OK, OK, I did it for us!" "Do you want me to get down on my knees?" "OK!" "Alright, I lied to you and I'm sorry, and I promise I'll never, ever do it again, OK?" "Boy, you sure don't forgive easy!" "Bouchet!" "Did you miss the turn on your way to the Eiffel Tower?" "No, a little unfinished business, Emile." "You have wounded me." "You think I cannot handle a diamond search?" "Five of my best men are waiting for the cars to arrive." "That is exactly why I am here." "Afraid I will steal some of your glory?" "There is no glory to be stolen." "I wish to rectify a terrible mistake." "And save everyone from embarrassment." "The search is off!" "Off?" "The message was an error." "An overzealous young detective, anxious to make a reputation." "For this kind of news, they invented the telephone!" "This is a matter that needed my personal attention." "Who knows what complications could arise from such a situation?" "This is a big race." "It could cause..." "an international incident!" "It seems your young man in Paris has caused you a lot of trouble." "I assure you, Emile, I intend to put an end to it." "Wiser heads are always needed to clean up the mistakes of the young." "It is true." "And our reward?" "We get it when we reach heaven." "Perhaps a bit sooner." "Three down and two to go!" "Dirty road-hog!" "He should learn how to drive!" "He knows!" "That's the trouble." "Yeah, I see what you mean!" "If we don't get him by the tunnel..." "There's no way we can pass him!" "Bruno was right." "They never come back." "Herbie!" "Ha ha!" "I don't believe it!" " We did it!" " Never come back, huh?" "I guess Herbie wasn't listening!" "How does it feel to be back in the winner's circle, pretty good?" "For the 20th time, a great race and we enjoyed every minute of it." "Almost every minute!" "I'm enjoying every minute of this!" "And both of us would like to thank you all very, very much!" "Right." "See you around, Douglas." "That's a cute little memento you got there, old buddy." "It's as much yours as mine, and more Herbie's than anybody's!" "You can say that again." "Well, look who's here!" "May I add my congratulations?" "You'll congratulate us more when you see what we have!" "Yeah, in Herbie's tank!" " This what you've been looking for?" " Yes!" "It's had a rough trip." "But it's winding up in the right hands." "Indeed it is." "Don't know how we missed connections, sir." "But here I am!" "Fontenoy!" "You see, I knew the diamond would be found!" "It's an honour to be at your side in this moment of triumph!" "And I have more good news, sir!" "The two thieves have been captured!" "Ah!" "Good!" "Good." "Then I'd say the case is concluded." "Yeah..." "But it seems there'd be a mastermind behind this kind of thing." "Or that museum had some pretty lousy security." "Sir!" "Men have fought duels for such an accusation!" "The museum security was virtually foolproof." "I made an interesting discovery today, sir!" "From the sensitised floor to the radar beam around the pedestal, to the pillow on which the diamond rested, all the traps were conceived and executed by one man!" " Fontenoy." " No, sir." "Credit where it is due." "The combinations of the security system were known only to you, sir!" "The only question is, who beside the inspector knew the details of the precautions?" "Who beside the inspector?" "The answer to that question is... ..nobody!" "My retirement has been delayed too long!" "I hope no-one will be foolish enough to move!" "Move this ridiculous car, or I'll kill..." "Even a mastermind can be outsmarted by this car!" "Thanks, Herbie." "Inspector?" "I always hoped you'd be present when I cracked my first big case!" "Fontenoy!" "Excuse me, sir." "Sorry, sir." "Sorry..." "I think you'll find it's all here, monsieur." "I'm so happy!" "I personally will see to it this magnificent automobile receives the greatest honour France can bestow!" ""S'il-vous plait," the VW?" "The VW?" "Yes, the VW..." "The white one with a 53 on the side." "Yes, I know the car." "It is the toast of all Monte Carlo!" "It's also our transportation, if you don't mind..." "I don't mind, monsieur, but... it is no longer here." "What?" "It was stolen!" "Mademoiselle, you would not believe this." "I would not believe this!" "No-one would believe this!" "It was stolen by another car." "Now look, I know that you believe about Herbie, but you're probably..." "Giselle can do anything she wants to." "Giselle?" "We're strong women, she and I. Shall we make it a foursome?" "Let's go!" "Take us to the most romantic spot in Monte Carlo!" "Well..." "Yeah, being chief mechanic is important, but I didn't exactly win the race all by myself." "No?" "Well, almost."
