"Looks like the safety inspector." "Or a union organizer." "Duke, I thought you'd retired." "They won't let me retire." "Howdy, boys." "We could sign you up as an apprentice." "Like hell you can!" "I'm only here for a visit, but if I wanted to start over again," "I could pick up right where I left off." "How are you, Russell?" "Hi, Ray." "All right." "How are you?" "Pretty good." "Mind if I drive in a wedge?" "All right." "Hey, how's your son?" "He's fýne." "How 'bout yours?" "I'm just tired of it, Evelyn." "I'm tired of worrying about him." "Who'd ever hire a guy like that?" "He's going to wind up a bum..." "An Italian bum." "Well, you could use some help." "What if you gave him a job?" "I don't want him selling used cars." "Why not?" "It's good enough for you." "Who says it's good enough for me?" "You do." "Damn right it's good enough for me, but I don't need any help." "He'd ruin me if I hired him, a weirdo kid like that." "[Whistling]" "Hey!" "No whistling!" "You're supposed to be a shag boy, so shag." "If I wanted whistling, I'd get a bird." "How are you feeling?" "Tired, Papa." "Exhausted?" "Yeah." "Get used to it." "It's going to be more of the same." "Let's go home." "I have to train." "The Italian race is next week." "[Horn Honks]" "Pop, can I have this Saturday off?" "Hell, no." "Just this once, Papa." "The Italians are coming Saturday." "I don't care if the Second Coming's coming." "But I waited so long." "No!" "N-o-double-O." "No!" "Uh-oh." "You stay out of this." "Don't come in here with that." "It's sold." "You said there was a 90-day guarantee." "Guarantee?" "What guarantee?" "You gave me your word." "Have you got it on paper?" "There was no paper, but you gave me your word." "Word?" "I don't remember hearing any word." "Get this car off my lot!" "We have to take it back." "Who are you?" "We're poor, but we're honest." "All I want is a refund." "Refund?" "Refund?" "Are you crazy?" "Refund?" "Refund?" "Refund?" "Refund?" "Easy." "Easy." "Easy, Ray." "Refund?" "Refund." "Refund?" "I've ruined everything." "He needed a rest anyway, and now he's getting it." "I'm not going to the race." "I should be here when Papa wakes up." "Um... did I ever show you this?" "It's a passport." "It's quite cheap, you know." "A real bargain." "I carry this with me all the time." "Someday, there'll be a new girl at the A  P, and when I cash a check, she'll ask for identifýcation, and I'll take out my passport, and I'll say," "" Here!"" "Oh, Mama." "So you see," "I think you really should go." "I think you should come home... singing... with a trophy." "I think you should do all those things while you can." "I'll win this one for you, Mama." "Ladies and gentlemen,  welcome to today's Cinzano 100-mile road race." "Here they come to the starting line..." "Team Cinzano, ladies and gentlemen!" "Timers, if you are ready, we'll stand by for the start of the Cinzano 100." "Riders, ready!" "Timers, ready!" "The Cinzano 100 is underway, ladies and gentlemen." "The riders are starting off on a 100-mile journey." "Come on!" "Hey!" "Hey!" "Buon giorno!" "Come'sta?" "Oggi e molto umido, non e vero?" "Niento vero." "Grazie!" "Grazie!" "Grazie!" "Che tempo fara piovera!" "Filare!" "Bravo!" "Bravo!" "I feel like one of those dwarfs, like, when they think that Snow White's dead." "Well, I guess you're a cutter again, huh?" "Just like the rest of us?" "I guess so." "Hey, cheer up, Dave." "You still got the 500." "Thanks a lot." "No, I don't feel lucky to be alive." "I feel lucky I'm not dead." "There's a difference." "Oh!" "What happened to you?" "Oh, it's nothing, Ma." "How do you feel, Dad?" "" Dad"?" "I'll tell you how I'm feeling, son." "I had nightmares all night that every customer I ever had came in to ask for a refund." "You were there handing out checks." ""One for you, one for you..."" "I'm sorry I gave him back his money." "I really am." "Everybody cheats." "I just didn't know." "Well, now you know." "Where's your trophy?" "Daddy!" "What's the matter?" "What are you crying for?" "It's not like you lost your wallet." "I didn't want you to be this miserable." "A little bit's all I asked for." "Come on now." "Talk to him, Evelyn." "What are you doing?" "Hi, Kathy." "What did you do to yourself?" "Oh, I liked you better before." "What happened to your cornocello?" "Now you look like everybody else." "I am everybody else." "I mean..." "Listen, Kathy..." "Catherina!" "I feel terrible." "You sound funny." "Che cosa, Enrico?" "Tell me." "Look..." "Kathy, I..." "My name is Dave Stohler." "I made all that other stuff up." "I was born in Bloomington." "I went to Bloomington high." "I was treasurer of the Latin Club..." "Stop kidding around." "I'm not kidding around!" "See..." "I'm what you call a cutter." "Oh, and Napoli?" "And the big family?" "Well, it was a good act." "You..." "You certainly fooled me." "You know what you are?" "I got a clue." "I'll tell you what you are." "Oh, God!" "You..." "Dave." "Yes, Dad?" "I cut the stone for this building." "You did?" "Yeah." "I was one fýne stonecutter." "Mike's dad, Moocher's, Cyril's... all of us." "Well, Cyril's dad... never mind." "Thing of it was, I loved it." "I was young and slim and strong." "I was damn proud of my work." "And the buildings went up." "When they were fýnished, the damnedest thing happened." "It was like... the buildings was too good for us." "Nobody told us that." "Just..." "Just felt uncomfortable, that's all." "Even now, I..." "I'd like to be able to stroll through the campus and look at the limestone, but I just feel out of place." "You guys still go swimming in the quarries?" "Sure." "All you got to show for my 20 years of work is the holes we left behind." "I don't mind." "I do." "Cyril's dad says he took that college exam." "We both took it." "How did both of us do?" "Well, I don't know." "One of us did O.K." "But neither... of us..." "Hell, I... don't want to go to college, Dad!" "To hell with them!" "I'm proud of being a cutter." "You're not a cutter." "I'm a cutter." "What, are you afraid?" "Yeah." "A little bit." "And then there's the rest of the guys." "Well, you took the exam." "Did all right, didn't you?" "Yes." "Well, that's..." "That's good." "Well, your mom..." "Your mom will be expecting us home." "Come on." "I'm supposed to ride this thing?" "Well, that's the offýcial issue." "You can't add or change anything." "Well, it's a piece of junk!" "Hey, it's got a lot of personality to it." "It doesn't look that bad to me." "That's 'cause you don't have to ride it." "You don't have to ride." "We're not going to beg you." "We'll plead, but never beg." "The hell with it!" "Get off, Cyril." "At least we got invited." "I'll just take it back." "You seem relieved, Mike." "Don't you think we can win anymore?" "Why not?" "Maybe those guys are better than us." "That's the fýrst time you ever said that!" "That's the fýrst time I ever felt that." "All right." "Hello." "What are you doing here?" "I'm leaving soon." "Where are you going?" "I got a job in Chicago." "Moocher's dad got a job in Chicago." "He's, uh..." "I'm going to Italy after all with my parents." "Great, Kath." "I wish you a nice trip." "You, too." "I'm not going anywhere." "I don't know about that." "Thank you." "You're welcome." "If you eat so much, how come you're small?" "Oh, it's my metabolism." "I eat three times a day." "My metabolism eats fýve times a day." "Well, I go back to work tomorrow." "You won't watch us race?" "He thought he might bring you bad luck." "Well, I just have work to do, that's all." "Besides, there might be another metabolism to feed here." "We might be a father?" "No, I might be a father." "Your mom might be a mother." "You might be a brother." "That way, I keep it all in the family." "I didn't think people your age..." "The next word may be your last." "You must be very happy." "Do I have any choice?" "You were going to give a pep talk." "They don't need pep." "I need pep." "Go on, give it to them." "Uh, we thought..." "As long as you're out there, you might as well tell them who you are." "Right." "Oh, wow!"

"The Sigma Tau Omega team and the Acacia team." "I should point out what a remarkable job the Cutter team is doing." "They started in 34th position and are moving up through the field." "Oh..." "The Acacia team just signaled for an exchange." "The single rider is accelerating away,  getting a lead so the receiver will not be behind when the pack comes by." "Beautiful exchange!"

"No way." "He wants off, man." "That's the signal." "He's coming in." "Here you go." "I don't want to race." "Get on the bike!" "It's ours now." "It's our race." "We got it." "Get going!" "No one is going." "The other riders are holding the bike." "Get out there, Mike!" "Get on the bike!" "The little guy's riding!" " You O.K.?" " What's the matter?" "What happened?"
