"(woman panting and moaning)" "Uh, you need a dime or anything to make a call?" "Lady?" " Do you know where a gym is?" " A gym?" " You know, if we go into town with a gym in it." "Just let me out at the gym." " What are you doin'?" " 'Cause I gotta start workin' out." " Man, I wasn't payin' no attention to her." "I don't think she knows what she's doin' or talkin' about or nothin'." " [Woman] Who's your friend?" " What are you doin', lady?" " I don't think you can find a gym around here, lady." " 'Cause that's the first thing you do when you start gettin' straight, is you start eatin', puttin' on fat." "Uh-uh." "You guys don't turn on, or what?" " Now listen, damnit, I told you about that light." " I'm just trying to exercise a little." "(arguing over each other)" "Just don't push!" "Shit." " Hey, get out of the car." " Hey, wait a minute!"

" Wow, wow man." "Hey Halsy?" " [Halsy] Yeah I heard, man." " Oh, boy." " Do you wanna taste somethin' good?" " Hey, no that's not funny, it's just bad." " Hey, you don't have a guitar, do you?" " Guitar?" " Do you have a guitar?" " (laughs) No we got no guitars." " You play guitar?" " Yeah." "In New York City I play guitar." " [Halsy] Let's go, buddy." " [Little] Yeah." " Somebody stole my guitar." " No shit." " Hey listen, it'll be okay." "You'll find a guitar." " It's okay, don't stay, just split." "I don't want you in my karma anyway." "I gotta be very careful who I let in my karma." " Your what?" " I'm not lettin' anybody in my life when I get straight this time." " Hey, did you ever notice that you can drive all day and all night," "and wherever you stop it's the same greasy hamburgers?" "The same fried egg." "Served by the same fat waitress." "It's just like you never went nowhere at all." " It's like you never went nowhere." " That's just what I said." "That's what I said, dude." "(Little chuckles)" "It's always the same." " What are we gonna do about her?" " It's her lookout." " Well sure, where are we even going?" " Just some other greasy spoon down the road." " Yeah." "It's just another greasy spoon down the road." " I gave her five bucks." " You gave her three bucks." " Oh, was it three?" " What's she gonna do with three bucks?" " You big lover." "(chuckles)" " I don't have to be her lover." " (chuckles) I knew you'd get yourself in trouble." " Well you get yourself in trouble, why can't I get myself in trouble?" " Hey, because I can get myself out." "I can get myself out again." " I want her." " You want her?" " I can want somebody too, you know." " Oh no, man, I can get you somebody." "You could have Moneth." " I want somebody who's my own." "What is that dope-head community screw, man." "She's nothin' but some mama for all them freaks." " No man, she's all alone." "(boat horn)" " You know what I wish?" " What?" " I had me a Geiger counter." " A Geiger counter?" " I'll marry me the first man who comes up with a Geiger counter and we'll live at the beach." "You know how treasure there is buried in the sand alone?" "Plenty." " You know what I wish?" " What?" " That somebody asked me what I wished." " Okay, what do you wish?" " I wish that we'll all be friends and have good luck and be happy." "(chuckles)" " [Woman] How'd that happen?" " Well, I was going as fast as I ever went in my whole life and fell off." "Him and me." " Yeah, I heard you break your leg." " Hey, remember what happened in digger, he was workin' on the oil rigs." " Digger?" " Isn't that in Oklahoma?" "Where the whole town blew up or something?" " Never heard of it." " He wasn't expected to live at first." "And then he was never supposed to walk." " Sure." " Shit, the way he said it, I thought it was famous." " Mm, well." "A spine's integrity." "His is broken." " What's the leg?" " The leg?" " The leg's sport." " [Voiceover] Slow down, slow down!"

" Now all you tuners and sponsors have got to conform too." "No more of these weird outfits." "We got too many of these weird outfits in the pits." "Now you all wanna keep racing something you can be proud of so we gotta get rid of these high heels and these tight pants." " I see there's some pretty illustrious people here today." " [Organizer] Now let's get back 'cause we got a lot of things to do and we don't have much time." "Come on, men, let's get going." " Hey." " How you doin', Rick?" " Hey, you probably don't remember but a couple years back when the army had me for a couple of years and I got this back messed up in Vietnam, you and me went a round together at Sears Points." " [Rick] Oh, is that right?" " [Voiceover] How's it goin', Rick?" " When Uncle Sam calls you, you gotta do your duty and you do your duty even if it costs you and you gotta begin all over again." " Look I gotta go to work if I'm gonna do any racing today." " Oh hey, no sure, I just wanted to extend my apologies for this rotten track, excuse me honey." "This rotten track and tell you to be sure and watch out for that transmission fluid on the track and them grease stains that they left from the drag races last night." "Hey." "I wanted to tell you it's a real pleasure, a real pleasure to go around with a top professional go-faster here today." "Maybe again next year at Sears Point." "Oh hey, when is Sears Point, this year?" "(background chatter)" "Did you see that?" "It's ol' Rick Nifty." "Rick Nifty." "Old buddy of mine." "(chuckles) It ain't even legal I got him so panicked." "Only way that dude's gonna see the finish is to get in my draft." "I'm gonna blow that son of a bitch right off the course." " Hey hold it, Halsy." " He just better watch his ass." " You just better watch yours, man." " What they ought to do is to pay me extra just for making it interesting." "That's what these square-jaws want, is to see the real muscle fighting it out!" "Two top fast go-getters, fightin' it out to the finish." " The world starring Halsy Knox." " How's that, Lady Godiva?" "(cacophonous engine revving)" "(drowned by out engines)" " [Voiceover] Go!"

"That bastard think he's the only one who ever been up to" "Sears Point?" " When were you at Sears, Hals?" " He don't know I wasn't ever at Sears Point." "It rained the year I was at Sears Point." "Drove all the way up to 'Frisco, got up there and it rained." " I heard they raced race or shine up there." " Not if there are earthquakes." "Who couldn't win a race?" "You fly in the morning, you fly out at night." "You got the top tuners workin' the top bikes for ya." " You carried your mad into that race, Halsy." "Which is the dumbest thing, man, that anybody could do." " I gotta get me a sponsor." "I gotta get me a sponsor." " And that's where you goofed, you know?" " Somebody who knows bikes much less throttle return springs." " That throttle return spring was perfect." " Man, I couldn't have stopped nowhere in that" "Micky Mouse scooter of yours, Little." " Yeah, you missed the trail, man." "Hey, you can't ride, that's it." "You can't ride."

" [Halsy] Never mind, damnit." "What do you want?" "Didn't you ever say whaty when someone said your name?" "(woman hums melodically)" " I just want to tell you somethin'." " [Halsy] Okay, what?" " Hey, what I was wonderin' is when your suspension's up." " What are you homesick?" "If you're homesick, go home if you want." " No, I want my..." "I want my bike back, I want my license back." "And uh." "I wanna be Little again, you know?" " Sure, man, screw it, right away." "I don't give a damn." " You don't have to be dragged about it." " They'll cancel my suspension and I'll pay my dues anyway." "Don't worry about me." " It's just my leg's better, that's all." " I'm not bugged, who says I'm bugged?" "Well you tell it true, it ain't your gimpy leg you want to exercise." " I just wanna race is all." " (spits) Sure, man." "It's your bike, you race it." "Only don't tell me it's your bike you wanna race." " Yeah, well what is it then?" " It's a chick." " Yeah well, she ain't your chick, you know that?" " She sure as hell ain't your chick." " Uh yeah but it was my idea to bring her along." " Whose truck is it?" "Whose truck is it?" " It's your truck but it's my bike that's winnin' all the races to pay for the food and the gas." " Damnit, I'm tryin' to bust my ass to score points for you and you're trying to take my chick from me." " You're trying to take my chick from me, man!" "Anyway, you don't want her now, except maybe that she aint' a whore." " Well if that's friendship, I'm aghast." " I never said I was your friend, Halsy." "I don't even fuckin' like you." " Oh, so he finally blurts it out." " I don't have to blurt it, I'm tellin' you cold and clear, man, I don't like you." "I never did and everything I had to talk you about, man," "I had to think up." " Hey, we're gonna settle this, Little, before I bust you in the face." "Maybe we better call out Rita and see how she stands, huh?" "Hey!" "(whistles)" "Ask her." "(car starts)" "(clears throat)" " Little, I got it." "Little, see here it is, like I told you." "After you left with sideburns, I found this in your room." "See?" "The photographer's camera." "For all we know, sideburns could have committed foul play to get this." "And they could have took you as his accomplice." " He don't have to get rough, old Halsy."

""That ain't what you said yesterday."" "You know?" " What, where..." "What was I saying?" "Oh." "(sighs)" "I'd just as soon have died." "Half the time I thought I did already." "Then I'd hear conversations with other bodies." ""Are you dead?"" ""Oh yeah, are you?"" "And that's when I knew that I wasn't." "They bored two holes in my head and it was..." "It was pulling my head in one direction and feet in another and they was turnin' me over every half hour like some barbecued chicken on a spit." "Just to keep my poor old spine from sagging'." " [Rita] People die with broken backs." " Usually people die." "But sometimes things happen that aren't usual, I mean a guy can fall off a 12-story building and he don't die." "I fall down five steps and I break my neck." "And all because of some dumb broad named Bunny Patchen." "It was hot and I was runnin' from the bathroom to the bedroom, you know, and it must have been the excitement of the big date and all because I got to feelin' kinda dizzy and the next thing I know I'm fallin' down these stairs" "and then I'm in the intensive care on that spit." "And then a bodycast, I was in a bodycast for three months." "And all I get from old Bunny Patchen is this get well card saying "Oh I'm sorry, Halsy." ""Just can't work out between us due to the fact of all the" ""things you place so much importance on and I don't."" " Yeah, I know, same thing happened" " No it didn't happen to you, damnit, it happened to me." "It didn't happen to you." " What I mean is, you're looking to be responded to." " Oh, bullshit."

" You're moving me very much off my center the last few" " Oh hey, babe, I don't know about your center." "I don't know where your center is," "I don't know where my planets are, I just know we're broke."

"Once a whore, always a whore." "Hey." "What would you say to somethin' to eat?" "Let's get somethin' to eat, how about it?" "Some greasy spoon out there." "Come on!" " [Little] I ate." " Come on, have a cup of coffee with me." " I had coffee too." " Oh well then have crumb, hell have a toothpick." "Come on, watch me eat, come on." "I turned down Suzuki, did I tell ya?" " Good for you." " Told them to take their contract and shove it." "Ain't nobody gonna run my life like that, man." " All right." " Sponsorship is nowhere, man." "Politics." " That's right." "I had..." "I had this offer to go race in Europe." " [Little] Uh-huh." " I had to turn it down because of Rita and the kid." "Shit." " You didn't have no offers, Halsy." " Hey ma'am, can I have some coffee?" " Man, what a day for her to leave on, huh?" " Oh no." "If a chick's gonna go she's gonna go on your birthday or on Christmas Eve, they got their timing' down." "They know just when to cut ya." " Hey, how's it goin', Halsy?" " Hey, what do you say, babe." "Are you hot today?" " [Voiceover] Yeah!" " 'Frisco." "We made it, didn't we?" "It ain't how you do, babe." "It's where you been, ain't you learned that yet?" " It's how you do, Halsy." " [Voiceover] With the temperature here on the track at 111 degrees and under cloudless skies, a North American Grand Prix." "Already we have a large crowd to witness a professional motorcycle road race and we have people spaced all over this race track high on the hillsides at the north edge of San Francisco Bay here at beautiful" "Sears Point International Raceway." "As we start getting underway in just a few moments." "The factory teams doing battle." "(drowned out by loud droning engines)" "And the starter's flag and we're off." "(cacophonous engine revving)" "Taking the lead is Cal Grafer, number 25." "(muffled and distorted announcement chatter)" "Taking the back is a first, we've got a duel going between two of the unknown first-time entries here as number 10 Halsy Knox and number 58 Little Fauss." "And they're really see-sawing it back and forth." "The number 58, Fauss on the inside there." "Getting up to about half a bike lane." "And they're see-sawing it back and forth." "They are through the turns and they should come down the front straightaway side-to-side." "We'll find out who's got that horsepower." "But wait a minute, approaching turn seven there, number 10, Knox starts to stretch it out as he pulls by off of nine." "He's up about one length, he gets up to two and apparently Knox has broken out now and starting to move up." "(loud revving engines)" "There he goes from fifth to fourth." "And they come down that front straightaway around that bend and he's got the lead." "(backfiring)" "Number 10 Halsy Knox apparent coming up with some trouble there he's slowing down." "Once again, back in the pack, it's number 58." "A first-timer Little Fauss starting to put the pressure on as he works his way by Rodder and Kazisaki and he goes up to eighth." "Across the straightaway we come and we've got a brand new duel going with Little Fauss, number 58 from Oklahoma." "Fauss again and he picks up another position." "He's running seventh." "Up to sixth he goes." "There he goes past (drowned out by engines) into fourth." "As they come down the straightaway, around the bend and he's in third position now getting ready to take a shot at the big boys up front with only 10 laps to go." "If Fauss can continue the pace, we could have an upset this afternoon here at Sears Point." "So keep your eyes on number 58, Little Fauss from Oklahoma." "With only 10 laps to go, if Fauss can continue the pace, we could have an upset this afternoon here at Sears Point."
