"I have cracked the code on another secret transmission." "There is a dramatic confrontation brewing out here in this barren, desolate area as that wealthy tyrant and would-be governor Bigby Powers is racing to personally intercept his daughter as she and Sam Freeman emerge from the back roads of the desert off the Highway 68." "It is a race to the junction as the stakes are high." "Both vehicles are flat-out." "This is a contest." "not just between father and daughter but between the forces of power and oppression on one side and romance and free will on the other." "They may be outrunning you." "They have got to be stopped." "Swoop in and slow them down." "Swoop in, Ned?" "That's right." "The whirlybird has pulled out of its dive and is playing a veritable game of chicken with those two courageous kids in the Rolls-Royce." "Make another pass at them." "(Curly Q) They're going closer." "Don't worry!" "They'll pull off!" "Don't worry." "They'll pull off." "Neither will give an inch." "Oh my God, they're gonna crash!" "And the Whirlybird is a chickie bird!" "Those two nervy young lovers unflinchingly held their own." "I did it." "I did it!" "I kicked his butt!" "Yes, they've Won this lap but who knows what the next "power" play will bring us?" "What will that thin ribbon of highway to Vegas lead to?" "Perhaps everlasting happiness or perhaps tragedy." "I want results." "Do you hear that, Slinker?" "I want results!" "All right..." "I'm playing the ace." "It may be a little messy but you'll get your results." "Your call, sir." "Yes?" "Sir, this is Ned Slinker." "Ned Slinker from Los Angeles." "I need help, sir." "Ned, you're a nice person." "But it bothers me that you only call me when you're in trouble." "We've got the momentum now, Sam, and we're gonna do it." "We're going all the way!" "I'm gonna beat him to Vegas and I'm gonna get married." "Then let him look at the scoreboard." "Aren't you excited?" "Beating your old man doesn't make my day, you know." "It would if you knew him like I do." "It's a circus, Paula." "We got a cockamamie circus on our hands." "My client may be the next governor of California." "Ned, I'll give you the men." "Hurry up!" "I want that $25,000." "Ram that Rolls-Royce off the road faster you feather-headed..."
