"I"m just waiting on those two things to kind of flesh themselves out." "You know what, Ricky?" "I have kept my mouth shut for a really, really long time." "And I just don"t think that I can keep it shut anymore." "I just have to tell you that I think you are making a big mistake." "Really?" "Yes." "Why is it that you always fall for people who leave you?" "Have you noticed that?" "Like Carley and your dad and your sponsors." "And you always have to prove yourself." "Wh--?" "Well, you gotta listen to me here, okay?" "You gotta win to get love." "Everyone knows that." "I mean, that"s just life." "Look at Don Shula, legendary coach." "Look at that Asian guy who holds the world record..." "... foreatingallthosehotdogs in a row." "Look at Rue McClanahan from The Golden Girls." "All three people, all great champions, all loved." "Do you wanna know why I think that you should race again?" "Sure." "Why?" "Okay." "It"s because it"s what you love, Ricky." "It is who you were born to be." "And here you sit, thinking." "Well, Ricky Bobby is not a thinker." "Ricky Bobby is a driver." "He is a doer." "And that"s what you need to do." "You don"t need to think, you need to drive." "You need speed." "You need to go out there, and you need to rev your engine." "You need to fire it up." "You need to grab hold of the line between speed and chaos..."

"I wanna tell Gérard Depardieu we"re coming for him." "There you go, baby." "Give him hell." "Get this engine built." "Get it built." "I have not finished." "Monsieur Girard, Ricky Bobby is here to see you." "This is the one I was talking about, Ricky Bobby." "Thank you, Bacco." "Go." "You"re a tough man to find." "You know that, buster?" "I prefer solitude the day before a race." "I am being so incredibly rude, Monsieur Bobby." "Let me introduce you to my lunch guests." "This is my dear old friend Elvis Costello." "Delightful to meet you, Mr. Robert." "I thought you were dead." "And next to him is hip-hop artist, poet and my brother-in-law, Mos Def." "I like your driving style."

"Holding hands with a man makes me terribly uncomfortable." "It is a sign of friendship in many countries." "Well, not in ours." "There"s nothing sexual about it." "please don"t be worried at the fact I have an erection." "It has nothing to do with you." "Hey, come on." "Look." "Here"s the deal." "I came here to tell you one thing." "All right?" "Tomorrow, I"m coming for you." "Do you know why I came to America, Ricky Bobby?" "public schools, health-care system, giant water parks." "I mean, the same reason anyone comes to America." "I came here for you to beat me." "What the hell are you talking about?" "My husband, Gregory, and I..." "... wishonlyforthat which every other couple wishes for:" "To tame Komodo dragons in Sri Lanka..." "... andteachthem to perform Hamlet." "But before I can do that... ." "That"s dumb."
