All language subtitles for 3 Weeks To Daytona (2011)

Announcer: And the 57
takes the checkered flag.

That makes four in a row for chuck.

It looks like he's on his way
to a championship.

Chuck is making another one
of his late race charges

to the front.

Sal has got to be happy with the way

his car and driver are performing tonight.

It looks like another victory is in the bag.

One lap to go, and chuck is in the lead...

oh, wow. Ooh.

Chuck's car has hit the wall.

It looks like chuck turned the car

into the wall.

Something must've broken in the car,

because it went straight into the wall.

Six laps to go.

Good old chuck weber in the 57

is making a late race
charge for the front.

Woman: Bring it home, chuck.

Announcer: Chuck takes
the lead with four to go,

but can he keep it?

Woman: Four laps to go.

Announcer: When chuck isn't piling

his speedy limousine race car,

he's shuttling people to
the airport in his speedy limo.

Haven't seen chuck
look this good in years.

Wow. He's one hell of a driver.

Chuck ain't won a race in 20 years.

Chuck: How far behind is buddy running?

Woman:94 is comin' on
your inside. He's going high.

Announcer: Buddy in the 74
is pulling up on chuck's ten.

It looks like buddy wants
the lead with only three to go.

Man: Bump and run time, buddy.

Comin' to get you, chuck.

What the hell was that?

It's buddy, chuck.

And he's got fresh tires.

Just stay cool. You've only
got a couple of laps to go.

The 57 and 94 move together
as they circle the draft.

Draftin' right behind you, chuck.

Can't hold him off.

Yes, you can, chuck.

Just stay cool and bring it home.

That's easy for you to say.

This thing is fallin' apart.
The engine has no power.

Chuck, the car is fine.

Just drive your race
and stop thinking about buddy.

Let me show you how it's done, chuck.

Just raised the white flag. One lap to go.

Can he hold off buddy?

He's gonna bump. He's gonna bump!

Will chuck choke
or hold out for the lead?

Time to bump and run. Big crunch.

Chuck is battling.

The 57 is into the wall.

Buddy takes the lead
at turn three and four.

Buddy in the 94
takes the checkered flag.

Man: Buddy, how do you keep
your driver suit so clean?

Buddy: I like everything neat and tidy.

Too easy, right?

Fuck you, Spencer.

Well, there you have it. Neat and tidy.

Just how he passed the 57
on his way to victory.

They don't call him
mr. Roboto for nothing.

There you go, darlin'.

Come on, chuck, it's over.

That should have been us.

Chuck, go get your kid, huh?

Let's get outta here.

We'll get back there someday.

We'll get back there.

Yeah, right.

Give me a second, okay?

Yeah.

Fans, thanks for coming out tonight.

We'll see you next week
at the speed bowl

for another night of racing action.

Worm.

Let's go. We got a busy day tomorrow.

Worm!

Drop that stuff and let's go!

See the race?

Most of it, dad.

You see the end?

Did you win?

I coulda missed it.

Missed it?

How could you have missed it?

I don't know. I was reading.

Reading? I get slammed into the wall,

I lose the race, and you're reading...

trigo... whatever the hell this is?

It's trigonometry.

Yeah, well, trigo, whatever,

waste of time.

Hey, worm, you gonna
spend the night at my place?

That's the deal. Weekdays with mom,

and weekends with dad and the pit crew.

Cut that out. It's okay.

So, dad, you think we can
go to the zoo tomorrow?

I told you I got a lot of stuff to do.

Chuck, come on. Take the kid
to the zoo. Would it kill you?

Okay, fine.

We'll go to the zoo.

I'll deal with the car first,

and then, we'll go check
out the monkeys or something.

That's what you always say.

Yeah, chuck, that's what you always say.

Hi. I'm rob of rob's furniture.

After a hard week of work,
all you wanna do is relax.

The best way to do that is in
a rob's lazy-rob recliner.

That's right, sit back, relax,

and watch your favorite football game.

Come on, football guys.

And remember, all of our urban locations

always have free popcorn.

Ah, you dropped it!

Hello, everybody, and welcome
to your speed week re-cap

here at the glen.

Well, folks, what we had
here this past week

was a real stunner.

Roy barker, the newcomer,

comes all the way from
the back of the pack

to take victory here at this cup...

I was watching that.

What's the big deal?

He just won his first cup race.

Don't you wanna see the interview?

No, not really.

It's not the normal Nascar driver's story.

Tell everybody about
where you cut your teeth.

It was a little track called the
speed bowl in the middle of nowhere.

Chuck, he started here at
the bowl. Isn't that great?

Yeah, I knew that. Did you know him?

Of course I knew him.

I've been racing
at the bowl forever, remember?

You're jealous.

Jealous?

Jealous of what?

It's not like he won
the Daytona 500 or something.

Chuck, give me a break.
He just won his first cup race.

Whatever.

He's not gonna win the Daytona 500.

Oh, and you will? Yeah. Yeah, I will.

You know why?

Because when I win, I'm gonna win big,

and there's nothin' bigger
than the Daytona 500.

Well, you know what?

You're 45 years old.

You better hurry up with that big break.

How'd that feel?

What about you?

You've been stashin'
every cent you ever made,

and for what?

The speed shop. You know that.

Yeah, chuck.

I said 10:10. You're five minutes late.

Sorry about that. Traffic is really bad.

Those are calloways.

They're worth more than the car.

It's open.

Listen, buddy, just get me to the airport

as fast as you possibly can.

I have a meeting in los Angeles. I.a.

California. Got it, sir.

Oh, this is priceless.

The world's dirtiest man
is here to clean something.

Nice work, joe.

How'd the race go last night?

Not so good.

You know this guy?
That's all I can give you.

Gotta get some engine work done.

Green lights. Green.

Passenger: Fifty-five?
Really? You're going 55?

Sir, there's a lot of
police in this area, so...

I don't see any. Not one cop.

Sir... listen to me, chuck.

If you don't get this thing moving,

my company's never gonna
use this company again.

This ain't Nascar, you know.

Next time, don't be in such a rush.

Have a nice day.

Three hundred bucks.

Where am I supposed
to find 300 bucks?

Well, you can take the tip
I'm gonna give you,

which is nothing, and then use that.

Hi. Got some clubs in the back, please.

Rob's bed.

I'm citizen rob.

Join me for my once
annual bedding sale,

and get yourself a rob's bed.

Don't know which one to pick?

Sleep on it.

Hey, lou, you got that
sponsorship money for last week?

Chuck.

You're makin' us look bad.

Why should I give you money?

You crashed your car into the wall

with half a lap to go.
You coulda won that race.

Well, I almost won.

That's not the deal, lo...

you still gotta give me
the sponsorship money.

No matter what happens on the track,

your name is all over the hood.

No matter what happens.

Like if you lose the company
its second-biggest account.

That wasn't my fault.

What's that gotta do with
the sponsorship money?

That happened on the street,
not the track.

You wouldn't even wear
the speedy limo mascot suit.

It's a baseball suit, lo...

what's that gotta do
with limo driving or racing?

Way to go, turbo.

Heard about what happened
over at the bridge port.

Not cool. Very not cool.

That guy demanded...

it's called customer service.

Whatever the customer wants,
you give him.

Right. He asked me to speed, I did.

You got caught.

Hey, lou, let me go
over there, talk to the guy,

smooth things over a little bit.

Do a little damage control.

You should be more like Steve here.

Customers love him.
He never gets complaints.

I got a $300 ticket doing exactly what

the customer wanted me to
do. Who's gonna pay for that?

Excuse me. I just wanna
get one of these red ones.

They taste like cherries.

Okay, Steve, can you just
give us a second?

Take it easy, nitro. Just tryin' to help.

Look, lou, you gotta
give me that sponsorship money.

I need that money to get
my car outta the shop

so I can race this weekend.

It's not my problem.

And we're pulling our sponsorship.

What do you mean,
you're pulling the sponsorship?

Iou, I depend on that money
for runnin' my car.

Find another sponsor.

Fire it up.

I don't like the way that sounds.

Sounds like it always sounds.

I gotta rebuild the top,
it's gonna be expensive.

Okay.

Just fix it, gomes.

I want a little bit more punch out of it.

Yeah, I'll fix it.

I just gotta know you got the
money to pay for it, that's all.

I got bills to pay, ya know.

I'll get the money.

I just gotta be paid before
you pick up the engine.

No money, no engine.

You got it? I got it.

I just wanna make sure you know,

because there was
this other guy who came in,

he said he got it,
but when the time came,

he had no money.

And that other guy said he got it,

but when he showed up with no money,

it's, like, he didn't get it.

I get it. I get it.

Okay, please, just stop.

I get it. Just fix the engine.

You don't have to make up
an analogy for me to get it

when I get it.

I know, but the other guy,
he came with nothing, right?

If I give you the engine, I got nothing.

If you wreck the car,
we both got nothing. You got it?

Got it.

Hey, kid, stop playing
with that. What is it?

It's a perpetual motion machine.

For the answer to
america's energy needs.

I'm gonna make millions off of it.

Looks like a bunch of magnets to me.

Or a never-ending source
of electrical power

for our American cities.

Sure.

For one thing, you're gonna
need a new header.

How much?

You're in luck.

I haven't got one.

That doesn't sound lucky to me.

Sure, it's lucky.

Now you get to go to a junkyard
and find one for yourself.

Where'd my last header come from?

From a junkyard.

Then why did I pay 350 bucks?

Because I sourced it for you.

From a junkyard?

This it? That's from a v-6.

Worm!

Is that it?

So are we goin'? The
zoo's gonna close soon.

Yeah, yeah, yeah. We're goin'.

They're closed?

Damn.

I mean, they have to put
the animals to bed.

Speaking of animals, I should
drop you off at your mother's.

I actually thought we were
gonna go to the zoo today.

Worm, come on.

Hey, willy. Hey, mom.

Did your dad give you that check?

Nope.

Three weeks in a row.

Did he have fresh rubber on the car?

Mm, not sure.

Was he in the lead?

For a while.

So what happened this week?

Crashed on the last lap.

You know, I used to think
your dad didn't wanna win.

I thought he just maybe
wanted to mess with his car

so he could run around
with his friends the next day,

but I'm kinda thinking maybe
he's not good enough to win.

Well, he doesn't have
any friends anymore.

All he does is hang around with Cheryl.

Trenton trash.

Gomes?

What's goin' on with the lights?

Why is it dark in here?

What's wrong?

Nothing's wrong. Why are you smiling?

I got the whole shop hooked
up to this solar ray here.

Great, great, 'cause for a minute there,

I thought you were gonna tell me
something's wrong with the engine.

Well, chuck, we do have a...

a slight problem with the engine.

Then there is something wrong.

Why'd you say there's nothing
wrong if something's wrong?

What's wrong?

We gotta rebuild the heads.

When did you find that out?

Yesterday. Why didn't you call me?

I thought you were broke. I am
broke, but why didn't you call me?

I was gettin' around to it.

How much?

My hours times 95 per hour.

Ballpark.

I can't say.

Gomes, you've done this
over a hundred times.

What'd it cost last time?

I can't say!

If you had to say.

What difference does it make?
You can't afford it.

How do you know I can't afford it

if you don't tell me how much it costs?

I tell you what. You give
me the word, and I will fix it.

Okay. Fix it.

Where you gonna get
the money to pay me?

You fix the engine. I'll get the money.

Oh! Ow.

You all right? Yeah. Yeah, I'm fine.

Here, come on. Let me help you up.

Oh!

Let me buy you a beer.

Okay.

Why do you want to get the
car fixed so badly anyway?

'Cause I'm fourth in points and
wanna win some money this season.

What do you win for fourth?

Uh, a few grand.

Yeah, but that's what you
need to get the car fixed.

Exactly. That's why I'm
gonna be able to pay you.

But then you'll have
no money left over for you.

Yeah, so?

But you already have no money.

Why go through all the
trouble? You're already there.

Gomes, you of all people
should understand this.

I mean, it's not about...

the money.

It's about figuring out whether I can do it.

I mean, it's about...

finding out if I'm a race car driver...

or a limo driver.

Which one are you?

I don't know, gomes.

I don't know.

Sweet week at Daytona.

It's the start of the Nascar season.

It's where all of
nascar's big guns come out.

All, of course, hoping for a
chance to win the Daytona 500.

Those punk boys, pretty boys,

they got nothin' on us.

Get 'em down here to the speed bowl,

we'll show 'em a thing or two.

Thanks.

So you really think one of
us could beat a cup driver?

Well, I'm not talkin' about you.

I'm talkin' about buddy over there.

He got ice water in his veins.

That's what it takes to win.

I had one of the fastest laps last week.

But you lost.

What was it this time?

Something mechanical?

No, the car was fine.

I just screwed up.

For years, I've thought, you're no racer.

Racer never blames himself.

He blames the car or the track,

act of god, or maybe
he farted at the wrong time.

I got news for you, chuck.

The only breakdown you had is in there.

It happened 20 years ago,
only it just keeps on happening.

Why are you here?

Listen, sal, I'm third in points

with one race to go.

I figure the worst I could do is fifth place.

And I'm just wondering if

maybe you could advance me
the fifth-place money,

so I can get my car out of the shop

so I can get into next week's race.

You get the purse money after the race.

Sal, I'm just lookin' for a favor.

You want a favor?

Ask your girlfriend to rub one out for you.

Come in here and talk business.

That's the way it's got to be.

It's just business between you and me.

And that's the way it's got to be.

Woman: Excuse me, sal.
Rob's here to see you.

Go on, get outta here.
Got a real businessman

that's comin' in here.

This rob the furniture guy?

Yeah.

I like his commercials.

They're cinematic crap.

Rob, what brings you here today?

I just wanna tell you how much
I appreciate everything you do

down here at the track for me.

Thank you, sir.

And that's why it kills me

that I have to tell you that I
have to pull my sponsorship.

You can't do that. We have a partnership.

Rob's furniture superstore
is going nationwide.

I just opened my 20th store.

I can't afford to keep doing
this local track sponsorship.

You have to understand.

Folks, this is the American
dream, and here's why.

Anyone can get in this race,
and anyone can win it.

All's you have to do is have a fast car,

and it better be fast,

'cause these big boys know
a thing or two about speed.

You qualify, and you're in.

You've got a chance to win
the Daytona 500...

I've got an idea for you.

The super bowl of racing. What?

Daytona, rob.

We're gonna take a car to Daytona,

and you can't beat that kind of exposure.

Yeah. I don't know if you've
watched my commercials recently,

but I don't have 20 million to
throw at a Nascar sponsorship.

I know, rob.

But we're gonna qualify our way in.

I don't understand.

They got 43 spots...
40 are for the teams,

and three are for whoever can take it.

And we're gonna take
one of those spots.

And who's gonna drive the car?

I got buddy. Buddy?

If you build him a car,

I guarantee he'll
race his way into Daytona.

Just imagine the press.

"Hometown kid takes Nascar by storm."

It's like Davey and Goliath.

That's a fucking cartoon
about a boy and his dog.

They're made of clay.

What does that have to do with racing?

Because they preach values?

I got values for you. $500,000.

That's a lot of money.

What if he doesn't make it? Then I'm out.

He'll make it.

He's the best I've seen in a long time.

Yeah, well, no offense. I'd
love to go with your gut on this,

but you're asking for
an awful lot of money.

You're right.

We'll have a race.

Eh? And then the winner

will take your car to Daytona.

A race.

I like it.

We call it "the rob shootout to Daytona,"

and I could use it as an opportunity

to advertise my new line
of mark less wicker furniture.

All right. Deal?

Deal.

Hey. Hey.

How was your day?

Ugh. Just startin'.

I saw the gomes.

The engine needs a top-end rebuild.

Oh, crap.

And lou pulled my sponsorship money,

and sal won't advance me
any of the purse money,

so I have to work double
shifts just to pay off the gomes.

How about you?

Well, I just milled 1,000 of these things.

What is that?

I'll show you.

Huh. See?

They're gonna sell for 9.95 plus shipping.

They're gonna make a fortune off of 'em.

Wow.

How do people think of stuff like that?

Believe it or not, some people
don't spend every waking hour

fixing and repairing race cars.

Really? Crazy, huh?

That's weird.

Rob on radio: Stop in at
rob's store and check out

our lazy rob recliner,

or rob's mark less wicker.

What's up?

Seatbelt.

If you guys wouldn't mind movin'.

Appreciate it, thanks.

Oh, yeah.

Sal, you told me I would
get to drive the Daytona car.

You will, buddy.

The best driver gets to drive the car.

So get out there and win this race,

and let's get ourselves
down to sunny Daytona.

Okay, sal. You know best.

Okay, babe, make him happy.

♪ We've been here before ♪

Good mornin'.

Chuck: All right. The moon.

Thanks a lot, asshole.

Hey, hey!

Hey, give me my money!

Hey! Hey!

Give me my money now!

Keep the change.

Of all the furniture stores in all the cities

in all the world,
she had to walk into mine,

and buy all my lazy rob recliners.

Well, to her, I say,
here's lookin' at you, kid.

And if you've got kids,

bring 'em to rob's furniture this weekend.

Hey.

Hey.

Goddamn it.

On it.

Thanks.

How'd you make out?

128 bucks.

Take away gas and tasty cakes,

that leaves me with...

seventy-eight dollars.

Well, that's eight gallons
of race gas or half a tire.

Thanks for cheerin' me up.

What does wicker furniture
have to do with Nascar?

Nothing.

But next week, rob's
furniture is sponsoring

the rob's Daytona shootout
at the speed bowl,

the winner of which will get to drive

the rob's furniture express
in the Daytona 500.

So the shootout is on,

and the winner will take
the rob's furniture express

down to Daytona this February.

And for you at home, sit back and relax,

and get comfortable on this
beautiful mark less wicker furniture.

Guaranteed not to leave an imprint,

or my name's not rob.

Chuck, did you hear that?

I sure did.

I don't understand.

How can it leave no marks on your skin?

Does it have cushions or something?

No, chuck, who cares
about the wicker shit?

The other part about the
chance to race in the Daytona 500.

I mean, it's like a miracle or something.

Maybe we should do
something else next weekend.

What do you think?

Maybe I should take the kid to the zoo.

Chuck, what are you talkin'?

You hate the zoo.

This is the chance of a lifetime.

I mean, this is the big one
that you've been talking about.

We should be working on
some set-ups right now.

Cheryl, how am I gonna
race next weekend

without a car?

At this rate, it's gonna take me a month

to pay off the gomes.

Gomes. That money-grubbing
mechanic is gonna bleed you dry.

Why can't we go to somebody else?

Spencer builds engines
for everybody else.

Why can't he work for us?

The gomes builds a great engine.

Chuck, can I see you for a second?

It can wait.

I don't think I can get up.

It's important.

What?

Don't make me regret this, okay?

Maybe...

we're better off not knowin'.

What?

That's crazy.

I was just thinkin'...

what if we try and...

I can't do it?

Then I'd know.

How can I live my life knowing?

Chuck, chuck, come on.

Let's give it a shot.

Nobody's ever given me anything.

Never.

Okay.

You won't regret this.

I promise.

Okay.

A shot. Yeah.

Nice move. I'm on a pick-up call.

Yeah, I'm late, chuck, okay?

You think I wear the
nifty little waitress outfit

just around the house?

I'm here to pick up the kid.

Okay. So, um...
do you have my rent money?

Oh, yeah. Rent.

Mind if I count it?

I'm in a little bit of a rush.

Willy, your dad's here.

How am I gonna pay the rent with this?

Look, I gotta run. Just have him
come down, meet me in the car.

You're gonna get back here

and put the rent money in my hand,

or I'm gonna have a judge put you in jail.

Look, Katie, it was a really bad week.

A bad week? Yeah.

But I bet you have
enough money in your pocket

to get your car outta the shop,

or, I don't know, maybe some new tires.

I'm a little short for tires.

Chuck, can you please
just give me the rent money?

Then I'm gonna miss
the race on Saturday.

And it's rob's Daytona shootout.

This could be my last big chance.

Well, at least you won't be in jail,

so it's your choice.

You wouldn't. Try me.

Katie, please, don't... don't do this to me.

This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

A chance to race at Daytona.

Have you seen the commercials?

Rob's mark less wicker furniture.

It doesn't leave a mark on your skin.

Yeah, no.

Your little racing fantasy can wait, okay,

but if I get kicked out of this apartment,

your son is gonna be living on the street,

so maybe if you miss this race,

you'll spend more time
thinking about the people

who are around you than
that rolling shit box of a car

that you pour all your money into.

You never understood, did you?

Chuck, no, I understood.

I dealt with your addiction
for five long, hard years.

But that is why I left.

Because you cared more
about shocks and springs

than you did the people around you.

I'm gonna be damned if you're gonna
make me feel bad about some sheet metal.

Okay, fine, fine.

Here. But you're wrong.

It's not about the machine.
It's about the dream.

Worm, come on, let's go.

Have a good time.

Hey, gomes, how's the car?

Kid, stay away from there.

She's all set.

She's all set?

Let's load her up.

Just finished preparing your bill.

I'll help you roll her
in. Kid, what'd I just say?

Get away from there. Get away.

Um, about that bill.

Listen, gomes, I can pay you next week.

But I need the car for the
qualifying race this weekend.

What do you say, pal?

Oh, chuck.

You know I'd love to give you this car.

I really would.

But you wreck the thing, where will I be?

You'll be without a car,
I'll be without money.

So, gomes, have you ever
thought about using a catalyst

to help modulate the hydrogen output?

Yeah, I've tried everything.

Now get away from there.

Chuck, why don't you sit
this weekend out?

It's gonna be a demolition derby
out there anyway.

Take the kid to
a baseball game or a movie.

A science fair maybe.

Listen, gomes, come on.

I mean, this is my shot.

This could be my last shot.

You know how important it is
to race in the Daytona 500.

I'm askin' you, please.

Just help me out this one time.

Chuck, you want me to work on your car,

you gotta pay me for the car
before it leaves the shop.

You want a freebie?

Get your kid to work on the car.

I don't know how to work on engines.

Ah, sure, you do.

It's all math and science. You're a nerd.

All you need are the books.

Know what? Maybe I will.

I'll run you out of business.

Well, I am so afraid. You should be.

What, did I touch a nerve there, kid?

Let the adults talk, okay, worm?

Since when do adults
wear sweatpants all day?

Worm, drop it!

What do you say, gomes?

Just this one time.

Let me have the car.

As much as I wanna give you the car,

I just can't do it.

I'm sorry.

Come on. Let's go.

I would have gotten that car
if you had kept your mouth shut.

Dad.

No, I don't understand.

I don't understand why
you can't just keep quiet.

He wasn't going to give you the car.

How do you know that?

You're just a kid, okay?

You're just a kid.

Ready to go racing?

Not exactly.

Where's the car?

Gomes has it.

I had to leave it at the gomes'.

What do you mean, you had to
leave it? I gave you the money.

No, I just, ya know...
i couldn't get the car.

I don't understand. I gave
you the money for the car.

I gave it to Katie.

You gave my money to your ex-wife?

She had to pay for rent.

She threatened to send me to jail.

She had to pay rent.

I had no choice.

Get the fuck outta here, chuck.

I swear to god. Get outta here right now.

Sorry, Cheryl.

Worm, please. Just take him
and get outta here.

Worm, I'm gonna have to
take you back to your mother's.

Really, dad?

We have no place to stay.

I think Steve is over.

Who?

Steve.

You know, the guy who likes corvettes.

I know that guy.

I thought she had better taste than that.

You need a bed.

Why did you and mom get divorced?

Worm, I don't wanna get into it, okay?

She says that you never
paid any attention to her,

and that you were never around,

and that you were scum.

Scum?

All men are.

Including you?
Nope. Children are immune.

How much down force
does your spoiler produce?

How should I know?

Why?

I don't know. I was just
thinkin' about a math problem.

Okay.

We're gonna stay at the trailer.

Don't tell your mother
we slept there, okay?

What's the trailer?

It's a place.

Doesn't exist.

Whoa.

Look at all these trophies.

Did you run a trophy store or something?

No, I won them.

Wow!

You don't win anymore.

I haven't won since I'm 16.

I'm almost 16.

No, you're 12.

What happens when you're 16?

Nothing happens when you're 16, okay?

Well, you stopped winning.

That was different.

Come on.

What if it's a choker gene?

Where'd you hear that?

I don't know.

I'm a kid. I hear things,
and then I repeat them.

So what happened?

Did you lose your coordination
or become spastic or something?

No, I wasn't a spazz. I didn't
become spastic or retarded or...

you're supposed to say special person.

I wasn't a fucking special person, okay?

Shit happens!

You wanna know what happens at 16?

I'll tell you what happens at 16, okay?

Everything changes at 16.

That's the age everything changes.

That's the age your old man
decides to show up at the track

and become part of your life.

Your dad?

Right. That's right.

Saturday night at the bowl.

It's supposed to be like
any other Saturday night

until he comes marchin' in.

Tells everybody everything's different.

Changes everything up.

Takes over as my pit boss.

From who?

A mean old man.

He wasn't then, but he sure is now.

I remember that race.

Because you won?

No. Because I coulda won.

I was in the lead

up until the second to last lap.

That's when I saw him
in the grandstands.

Actin' like a big shot.

Talkin' to talent scouts.

And that's when I did it.

Did what?

Turned the car.

I turned the car into the wall.

Dad!

Balled it up pretty bad.

I haven't won anything since.

I guess it wasn't the best move.

No, no, no, you're supposed
to have him the whole weekend.

Cheryl kicked me out.

This is not the deal, chuck.

Take him to work with you or something.

I'm gonna work a double shift
so I can pay off my car.

So now my plans have
to change because of you.

Sorry.

Hey. Hi, zoom-zoom.

Huh. Zoom-zoom.

Ooh, you don't have a car,

so you can't zoom-zoom.

Nice shades.

Yeah, thanks. They're Porsche.

What, are you here to race me?

Fuck you, Steve.

Chuck, what are you doing here?

Well, sal, I thought I'd come down

and ask you one last time

for a little help.

Now you want my help?

Ha!

Now you come crawlin' back when
you got nowhere else to turn?

Sal...

why don't you get
your old man to help you?

No one knows where he is.

Sal, I was just thinkin'
maybe you could lend me

one of your older cars,
just so I can enter the race

to get to Daytona.

So you come back and ask me
because I'm always here.

Just go ask sal.

He'll help you out, huh?

It worked for you for a while.

I was a kid, sal. It worked for both of us.

I gave you everything, chuck.

I know, sal, I know.

And then, you dropped me.

You turned away.

Sal, he was my father, I was 16.

What was I supposed to do?

Look... I'm askin' ya.

Please.

Team up with me.

We could win races like we used to.

We were unstoppable.

You and me.

Maybe you're right.

Sal!

Oh, what you doin'
with this has-been, sal?

This has-been woulda
kicked your ass last week

if my tires hadn't got away.

I thought you said there was
nothin' wrong with your car.

I re-thought it.

My car was pushin' all over the place,

and it was loose out.

Drivin' wins races.

Does it? Twinkie?

I was tied in, and no, it's a tasty cake.

I had all kinds of electrical
problems, and a bad pit stop.

My power steering went out.
My front spoiler folded up on me.

Sway bar broke. Lost a spring rubber.

My brakes were overheating.

I had to pump 'em before every turn.

You had to pump 'em
or you had to hump 'em?

Break it up.

Hey.

You did what you had to do, chuck.

And I gotta do what I gotta do.

I got no car for you.

Come on, kid.

We got a race to win.

Hey, check it out.

It's called the vornado.

I saw it on tv the other night.

Sweet.

Say, uh, how's the nos hookup?

Nice.

You get chuck to race you,

show him who's king of the road.

I'll give all the credit to the vornado here.

I like it. Good work.

They're polarized.

Rob on radio: Hi, I'm rob
of rob's furniture.

I wanna remind you to come on down

to the speed bowl tomorrow

for the rob's mark less
shootout to Daytona.

While you're heading down to the race,

why not stop in at
rob's store and check out

a lazy rob recliner.

Can I help you with
anything in particular?

Not in particular.

Okay. Well, if you need anything,

I'll be right here.

What do you think of
the lazy rob recliner?

It's one hell of a chair, rob.

I saw you comin' out of
sal's office the other day,

and I saw something in you.

You did, rob?

I want you to drive
the rob's furniture express

down in Daytona.

Thanks, rob.

So what do you think?

You will never sit in
a more comfortable chair.

Where's rob?

Uh, he is in the back,
shooting a commercial.

So if you buy the chair today,

I can have it delivered
to you by tomorrow.

He wasn't just here?

Nope. He is in the studio.

So... what about the chair?

Yeah, I'll take the chair.

Hey, chuck, you look like hell.

Are you gonna race this weekend?

Not this weekend.

I'm gonna spend some time with my son.

Bullshit.

Why don't you tell him the truth, chuck?

Why don't you tell him you're broke?

Your mechanic won't give you the
car back to race unless you pay him.

I don't see how it's any concern of yours.

I guess you're right. It doesn't matter.

You can't hang with those guys
anyway. They're real race car drivers.

One of 'em's goin' to Daytona.

And check this out.

I don't see anything.

Yeah, that's the point, hot shot.

Just got me a set of rob's
mark less wicker furniture.

Been sittin' in it all day.
That guy's a frickin' genius.

Not like you, chuck.

Face it, man. You're
an airport limo driver.

You suck at that, too.

Why do you have to talk to me like that?

Because you're a liar.

A big liar. You know how I know?

No, I don't, Steve. Why don't you tell me?

The other day, I was goin' to the airport.

It took me 15 minutes,
and I was motoring.

So there's no way you could do it in 12.

Why is that?

Because I'm the best driver
this company's got.

You see that banner over there, Steve?

How do you think
the 12 minutes got on there?

Iou: Enough!

I've got two things to say.

One, chuck did a 12-minute run,

and two, we got an airport pick-up,

so somebody get going.

Then it's settled. Chuck is
the best driver of the company.

Yeah, bullshit.

I'll race you right now.
I'll show you who's best.

Why don't you do it, chuck?

Because he can't do it.

Come on, speed racer.

You beat me to the airport, I'll
pay to have your car repaired.

What's the hitch?

There is no hitch.

If you win, I'll pay to have your
car repaired. You get it back.

If I win, I'll pay to have your
car repaired, and I'll get it back.

What are you gonna do
with his car if you win?

I'm gonna crush it,

and turn it into a fucking coffee table.

Come on, man, you say
you can do it in 12 minutes.

Somebody get going!

Are you afraid you're gonna choke?

You're on.

Okay, guys. The pick-up
is at terminal two.

The first guy pick up the customer win.

Go!

Damn it!

Thanks, joe.

Go get 'em, chuck.

Sorry.

Ha! That road's closed, man.

Shit! Where'd he come from?

That road's supposed to be closed.

Stand by to engage nitro power.

Three, two, one.

Three, two, one.

Come on!

Yes! Yes!

Ah. Yes!

Hi. I gotta get home in ten minutes.

I have a date. A Filipino woman.

Pay up, Porsche boy.

Get the hell outta my car.

Yeah, how'd it go?

I lost the race, asshole.

'Cause the vornado didn't work.

It should've worked.

I installed it myself.

I don't know, I hit the button

and nothing happens.

Yeah, it's probably
because you're an idiot.

It's probably exactly what happened.

You probably fucked it up, you asshole.

Iou.

Yeah. Lo...

now you tell Steve, we wanted a
fair race, and that's what he got.

Now get out there
and get those cars fixed up.

I got a company to run.

I see you got your car back.

Yep.

They delivered a chair for you today.

Oh, right.

Sorry about that.

Why are you here?

I don't know.

You drove all the way out here,
but you don't know why you're here?

Come on, Cheryl.

Come on what? What?

What, did you come here
to apologize or something?

Then apologize, chuck.

Just apologize.

Well, if I do, will you
come to the race with me?

No. See, that is not how it works.

Okay, you have to take the risk.

You have to put yourself
out there and apologize

and then, I get to decide
if I accept it or not.

And then, you have to deal
with the outcome.

Okay. I'm sorry.

It was a bad time, I had no money.

And Katie can sometimes be Katie.

It was stupid. I'm sorry.

Are you gonna come with me?

No, chuck, I'm not coming.

Right.

Worm, come on!

What are you doin'? We're gonna be late.

We got a busy weekend.

I can't go, dad. You can't go?

He can't go. He's got homework to do.

He'll do it at the track
like he always does.

Yeah, except he's not actually doing it.

He got an "f" on his
math test the other day.

How is he supposed to
get into college like this?

Katie... don't Katie me.

Do you want him to live in a trailer
park and shack up with some bimbo?

I'm not...

do you remember the deal we had?

You were supposed
to pay for his college.

How much money
do you have saved up?

If I get into Daytona,
I can pay for his college.

You know, I'm coming down.

What?

Okay, I want half for willy's school,

and half of your half for me.

Okay, what does that leave for me?

You get to race, and you get
the only person who's willing

who's willing to go to
the racetrack with you anymore.

Okay, fine. It's a deal.

Come on, worm, let's go.

It's willy.

What?

It's willy.

Call me willy, and I'll go with you.

Okay. Willy. Come on, let's go.

We're gonna be late. We got
30 minutes to get to the race.

Track announcer: Welcome to
the rob's shootout to Daytona.

The winner of this race is
gonna have a dream come true

and have a chance to qualify
for the Daytona 500.

The pits are buzzing with activity

as the drivers get their cars ready

for the Daytona shootout.

Willy. Is it will or willy?

Willy's fine.

But when I'm in my mid-20's,
it'll change to will.

Let's drop the car. I'm
gonna fuel her up, all right?

You got it.

Hey, chuck, you only got three
minutes till the grid closes.

Thanks, dan. Free, dad.

All right, stay clear. I'm startin' her up.

Drivers report to the grid.

All cars need to be
on the track in one minute,

or you will start at the end of the field.

Willy, help me with the belt.

Buckle that helmet.

All right. Get the radios, okay?

Whatcha doin' here, gomes?

Oh, well, I got nothin' else, kid.

Well, what about your magnets?

And the exploding balloon?

Our country is
depending on those, remember?

Nobody wants any part of that.

Can't tax free energy.

Nobody wants part of
something you can't tax.

Well, you got your
engine-building business.

Yeah, I still got that.

But to tell you the truth,

your dad's about the only
guy who still comes to me.

Let me see what you got there.

Show these to Cheryl?

She's not with us.

Fixing up the old man's car, huh?

Yeah. It should be easy, right?

Just math.

Kid, I am gonna give you...

some intellectual property.

A piece of the master equation.

But it is for you and nobody else.

You got it? Got it.

All right, now, look.

You haven't taken into account

the co-efficient to friction
for the blacktop surface.

You're right.

You stayin' for the race, gomes?

Gomes?

Ladies and gentlemen,

welcome to the rob's
shootout to Daytona,

where the winner will take my car

down to Daytona
and try to qualify his way

into the Daytona 500!

Gentlemen, start your engines.

Remember, folks, this is
short-track racing.

When the yellow comes out,
we don't count the laps.

It's a big night here at the speed bowl.

Even the speedy limo mascot is here.

We have a new car on the track.

It looks like chuck in the 57.

He'll join the field in the back.

The light's bright out here.

Oh, my god. Are you
kidding me right now?

No.

The field is making
their way around the track,

warming up their tires
and getting ready to race.

Spencer: Race is all yours, buddy.

Sal, you really should get
yourself a lazy rob chair.

You bet.

Willy, when the green flag drops,

you let me know.

The pace car pulls off.

Buddy in car number 94 leads the pack

for the green flag.

Willy, you concentrate on the start.

The minute he drops that green flag,

you let me know.

Just wait for the green flag.

When it drops, you tell me, okay?

Did you hear me? Willy!

Willy!

The green is on, and we're racing.

Go, go, go!

Cheryl. Cheryl, is that you?

Let's go get 'em, chuck.

Spencer: Good luck, buddy.
I'm goin' to Daytona, boys.

Buddy pulls out to the front.

Leads the pack around.

Looks like you were right about buddy.

Yeah, he's a natural.

He could take us all to the top.

Chuck, you have 29 laps
to get to the front.

So don't do anything stupid.

Announcer: With chuck in the 57
bringing up the rear.

But it's a long race, folks.

Right now, it looks like
buddy is untouchable.

Cheryl: Keep it smooth
and hit your mark.

Announcer: Buddy holds the lead.

The cars behind him jockey around.

Looks like nobody has his
stuff but buddy tonight.

Twenty more laps, and your
boy goes to Daytona, sal.

I don't think I can move up any more.

Hang back, chuck.

The number three
is sliding all over the place.

He's gonna take out half the field.

Announcer: The car is into the wall.

A hard hit in turn one and two.

Yellow's out.

Announcer: Yellow is out.

The pits are open.

Cheryl: You wanna bring it in?

Is anybody else comin' in?

No.

This'll put me in last place
with 20 laps to go.

Chuck, we gotta make that car better.

You can drive the crap out of
it, but if that car can't handle,

you'll never get to the front.

Okay. I'm bringin' it in.

The 57 quickly gets to the pits.

Remember, as long as he gets
back on the track

before the green flag comes back up,

he won't lose a lap.

Not lookin' too good, is it?

What kind of odds would
you give me on the 500?

Three to one. Make it
four and you got a bet.

Bet.

Willy: I was thinking,

if we take the camber to negative five,

and add some tire pressure in the rear,

we should get more surface
and contact with the track.

How'd you figure that
out? Let's go, let's go.

I don't know. Books.

All right, let's get a little
more grip in the rear, though.

I'll get the camber changed.
Willy, get a pound in the rear.

You got it.

They have the wrecked car on a hook,

and we're almost cleaned up.

Chuck: Let's go, let's go, let's go.

Do you have the other hood pin?

What other hood pin?

The hood pin. There's a hood pin missing.

I don't have the other pin.

You're missing a pin?

Okay, uh... crap! Not now.

They'll never let me back
on the track without that pin.

Oh, my god. Think of something.

All right.

Go, go, go!

Chuck is back on the track,

rejoining the field at
the rear with 19 to go.

The green is out.

Just like taking candy from a baby.

How many to go? Cheryl:15 laps to go.

Announcer: It looks like the chuck of old

is making a late race charge.

The 57 goes low. He's passing 82.

Yes, yes!

Wow, the 57 just went by the 54.

That boy is on fire.

We'll see who wins.

The 57 makes another pass.

Now he's in second. Right behind buddy.

Cheryl: Feel his mirrors, chuck.
And stay low for the pack.

Announcer: The 57
closes in on buddy in the 94.

Chuck, you don't belong here.

Hell, even if he gets in front,

he'll choke.

You'll see.

Here we go.

Five to go, and chuck
is making his move.

He's pulled alongside the 94.

The 57 surges forward.

Now I'm in first.

Chuck takes the lead with four to go.

Spencer: Put the pressure on, buddy.

Let me show you how it's done, chuck.

Come on, buddy. Put him in the wall!

That's cheap. That's racing.

What's cheap is this fabric.

Just kiddin'.

Three to go.

It looks like buddy wants the lead back.

Cheryl: Bring it home, chuck.

Comin' to get ya, chuck.

Buddy moves in tighter and tighter.

Cheryl: Buddy is still behind you.

Announcer: Chuck shakes him off.

Tryin' to hold it together, aren't you?

He's on my bumper.
He's right on my bumper.

What, are you kiddin' me?

Just drive, chuck.
Stop thinking and drive.

Chuck: That's easy for you to say.

Gettin' pretty dicey out here.

Shit. Just keep it together.

Just keep it together.

Chuck's voice: That's when I did it.

I turned the car into the wall.

I haven't won anything since.

I have an idea.

All right, I'll listen to anything,

'cause I already know how this
is gonna end. What do you got?

Tell him to drive the car into the wall.

You sure, willy?

I'm positive. Just tell him to do it.

Chuck, drive deep into turn one,

and then turn the car into the wall.

Sal's voice: You're no racer.

A racer never blames himself.

I got news for you, chuck.

The only breakdown you had is in there.

It happened 20 years ago, and
it just keeps on happening.

No. No. Not this time.
This time, I'm gonna win.

The 57 charges into turn one.

We've seen this before, haven't we?

Cheryl: Buddy is still behind you.

Come on, come on, come on.

Chuck's holding him off, and
keeps his car off the wall.

Just hang in there, chuck. One to go.

Buddy is surging forward.

Will he try and beat chuck to the stripe?

They exit turn four.

It's a race to the checkered.

Checkered falls. Chuck wins!

Yes!

Chuck: We did it!

Ah! We did it!

Good job, chuck.

This man is going to drive
the rob's furniture express

to victory in the Daytona 500.

And remember... our wicker patio
furniture is mark less.

I guarantee it.

You got my two grand?
You wanna double up?

Just put the money in my hand.

Thanks.

We did it. We did it.

That was amazing. How did
you come up with those set-ups?

Thank your boy. He came
up with those final tweaks.

Willy? Yeah.

Hey!

Final tweaks were you, huh? Good job.

Dad.

You wanna go see
the monkeys or something?

Dad. How about the seals?

They're always funny. Wacky seals.

Dad. What, willy? What?

Look...

I'm trying. I really am.

I'm just not good at this stuff.

We only got three weeks till Daytona.

Right.

And we got a car to sort out.

You said it, son.

Race you to the exit?

I'm 12.

Yeah. Stupid idea.

Come on, let's go.

Hey, wait up.

At rob's furniture,

we have designed a line
of mark less wicker furniture.

You can see in it for up to three hours

without a mark.

Why would we do this?

Because we cannot afford
a mark less wicker furniture gap.

Look. Mark less.

No marks from the wicker.

Mein furniture!
