Speed Zone (Cannonball Run III) (Speed Zone)

Units 3, 5 and 8 still in hot pursuit of red Lamborghini.

- Good. - Not so good.

We're losing.

No problem, 3824.

Roadblock has been established.

- 3824, still in hot pursuit. - He won't get through here.

What about that dirt road, Sarge?

If he takes that, he better have water wings.

I can remember when my grandfather taught me how to skip stones.

You know what he told me?

Always make sure the stone is flat.

Exactly.

My arm's getting kind of sore, Grandpa.

But you haven't got the angle quite right.

Look, it's more like...

What's that angle you were talking about, Grandpa?

Valentino?

Valentino, here.

I think you're slipping, my friend.

No, no.

I'm good.

I'm good.

No, no.

Look, the timing is sluggish.

The timing.

The alignment is off.

And the shocks need replacing.

Shocks.

Yeah.

So we fix, huh?

No, no, no.

We don't fix, huh?

You fix.

I'm gonna go inside here and, uh, psych out the competition.

This is Jack O'Neill and Heather Scott.

And we're here at the pre-race party of the world-famous Cannonball Run.

And we're talking to one of the members of last year's winning team.

Um, you were saying something about the preparations

a driver must make for this kind of race.

I was.

Yes, you were.

Yes, I was.

Uh, you were, you were, you were telling us, um, about, um, some special training.

Training, right.

Training is very important.

Self-discipline is everything.

I understand you're racing in this year's Cannonball.

Yes, I am racing in this year's Cannonball.

I knew that.

I didn't know that.

Back to News Central.

Back to News Central.

No!

Did you see that?

Did you see that?

No!

Oh, Charlie, Charlie.

Hello, Leo.

I didn't know you were in there, I swear.

You can be so cruel.

Why, thank you.

Are you all right?

Oh, yeah, I'm fine.

Oh, he's fine.

He's fine.

Charlie and I are old friends.

He loves it when I pull these stunts on him.

Right, Charlie?

Yeah.

Yeah, it's my favorite thing in the whole wide world.

Hey, Charlie, what do you think?

Tiffany's just become the new Miss BMW.

Congratulations.

It's great.

Thanks to a little help from you-know-who.

So, Charlie and I are old friends.

We went to school together.

We get into the car business together.

I build them, he parts them.

Oh, lighten up, Mr. Scholar.

They call him Mr. Scholar.

He's still going to school.

You're still going to school, aren't you, Charlie?

Yeah.

Yeah, trying to find himself.

I'll see you inside, Leo.

It's nice meeting you, Mr. Cronan.

I apologize for Leo.

I had nothing to do with this.

That's okay.

It's... I'm used to it.

It's nice meeting you, Tiffany.

I might change my name to Norma Jean.

What do you think?

I kind of like Tiffany.

Oh.

Okay.

Hey, I'll be right there, honey.

So, Charlie, I see you're still quite the, uh, ladies' man.

Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha.

Ha, ha, ha.

Ah.

So, where's all the race cars?

They're parked out back.

Really?

Well, here.

Park mine, will ya?

Oh, and Cronan.

Yeah.

You be careful with that car.

It hasn't been broken in yet.

I'll treat it like it was my own, Leo.

I'll kill him!

Maniac! You're insane!

Cronan!

Lot's full.

I'll leave it here.

You know, if you'd put one scratch on that car...

Yeah?

Well, it's just a good thing for you that, uh, that you didn't.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Well, I'm a professional bodybuilder, but I'm sitting acting.

I just... Yes, yes, the, the body is the, is the temple of the soul.

Drink, drink, I can't.

This is for you.

I cannot do it the night before the Cannonball Run.

Of all your ideas, this is the stupidest.

We look like cheap hookers.

Oh, now we do not look cheap.

We look like expensive hookers.

Besides, guys like this sort of thing.

Margaret, we have five PhDs between us.

We've made important breakthroughs in automotive technology.

Why can't we just go out there and do an intelligent presentation of our discoveries?

Why do we have to look like bimbos?

Because we'll be talking to men.

And first we gotta get their attention.

Yeah, and then what, huh?

Then they become slobbering, puerile pigs.

Big!

You're in big trouble, Alec.

I gotta kill you.

I know, Big Wally, and he'd never say kill.

He probably said call.

That's it.

He said "call Alec," and you thought he said "kill Alec."

Isn't that silly?

Thanks for that, too.

Well, now, uh, we have a number of products I know you're gonna like,

Mr. Big Gold.

Why don't you call me Gus?

All right, Gus.

Well, one of the things I know you're gonna love is our Fuzz Buster.

This just isn't any old Fuzz Buster, Gus.

No, it's the best Fuzz Buster ever made.

It identifies a particular molecule unique only to police uniforms.

I call it the polyester quark.

It's on every cop in America.

See, what our machine does is it not only

picks up the radar, it picks up the cops, too.

You know, their clothes, their shoes, their scars, hats, their ties.

Now, what he's discovered is that...

I don't think I'd really be doing my job for Ferrari if I didn't take a long,

hard look at that equipment of yours.

Well, uh, it's right out in the car.

Why don't I, uh, why don't Lea and I just scoot on out there and get it?

Yeah, well, it's, you know, it's so noisy in here, why don't you go and get it and

then bring it back to my room and we'll take a look at it there?

I'm in 122.

122.

Come on, Lea.

Grab your coat, dear.

What would Big Wally rather have?

Me dead or his 50 grand?

Both.

Vic, this is my big shot.

Oh, I've got a thousand on the Jaguar to win.

Are you betting on car races?

You never learn, do you, Alec?

Look, how many years have I been placing bets with Big Wally?

Eight years.

Eight.

Eight years.

Look, now, give me a hand.

Two.

Now, I haven't won in eight years.

Now, how many months are there in a year?

12.

Right, eight times 12 is...

What, is this a quiz or something?

Eight times 12 is ninety...

Six.

Right.

Flip over here.

Now, the odds on the Jag are 100 to one.

Take the 96 from here, put it over here, subtract from

the 100, and you end up with sounds like Dinah Shore.
