Drive

There's 100,000 streets in this city.

You don't need to know the route.

You give me a time and a place,

I give you a five-minute window.

Anything happens in that five minutes and I'm yours.

No matter what.

Anything happens a minute either side of that

and you're on your own.

Do you understand?

Good.

And you won't be able to reach me on this phone again.

Hey, there you are!

She's down there.

Plain Jane Boring, just like you asked for,

but I dropped in 300 horses on the inside,

she is gonna fly.

You look like a zombie, kid.

You getting any sleep?

Can I offer you some Benzedrine, Dexedrine, caffeine, nicotine?

Oh, you don't smoke. That's right.

Better off.

There she is!

Chevy impala, the most popular car in the State of California.

No one will be looking at you.

Come on.

Where the fuck is he? Come on.

Unit 5, what's your 20?

We are approximately two minutes from that location.

Come on, man. Where the hell are you?

Come on!

Come on! Get in! Get in! Get in!

- Come on, man. - Go, go, go, go, go!

- What floor? - Fourth. Thanks.

Hey, kid, you know what?

Director wants to see a roll over.

Are you okay with that?

Remember, if you don't feel good, just abort the shot.

There's no shame in that, all right?

I mean, you're... You're doubling for the star.

You're not like a day player or anything.

And I got you 500 more, huh.

Of course, we split that.

You okay? Ready to go?

All right. Counting on you!

Excuse me, pal. I just need a minute here.

Before I put you on camera, I need you to sign this contract.

It just basically releases liability to the company

in case you die, get maimed, or seriously injured.

And action!

All right, that's a cut!

Kid! That was fantastic!

Just fantastic.

Okay. How you doing? You all right?

You were good. You were good. That was perfect.

- You're a monkey. - No, you're the monkey.

- You're the monkey. - You're the monkey.

No, you're the monkey.

Hey, tell me one thing.

- I love you. - I love you.

- Where should I put this? - In the kitchen.

Thank you.

Just be a second.

Scary.

Hey, you want a toothpick?

You want a glass of water?

Okay.

Thanks.

So, you just moved to LA?

No, I've been here for a while.

You're just new here?

That's Benicio's father.

Where is he?

He's in prison.

What do you do?

I drive.

Like a limo driver?

No, like, for movies.

You mean, all the car chases and stuff?

Yeah.

Is that dangerous?

It's only part-time.

Mostly I work at a garage.

Where?

Reseda Boulevard.

I gotta go.

Okay.

Thanks for the water.

- Say bye. - Bye.

Mr. Rose, your food, sir.

Okay.

Chicken chow mein and some Peking duck.

Okay. Where are the chopsticks?

Oh, you know. The guy just...

Go get them. Go get them.

I don't want that. I don't want that. You eat it.

Chopsticks and a fortune cookie.

Put out the fucking cigarette. I'm eating.

Sorry.

What's the matter with you?

I'm just...

What happened to all the ashtrays in this town?

You run a perfectly good business.

I don't know why you want to change now.

You know how much my business made last year?

Thirty grand.

I can build a car in six months

and in six seconds, these jerks write it off as a stunt

that won't even make it into the movie.

See, all I need is a hard used stock car.

That's all.

And I figure we start off with small town circuit and we work our way up.

And once we get to the show, we're talking millions.

- I have the chopsticks, sir. - Yeah.

Where's the cookies?

- You know, I... - Forget it. Forget it.

So, you still haven't given me a number.

All right.

$430,000.

Mr. Rose, I wouldn't come to you with this

unless I was absolutely sure about it.

How can you be sure, Shannon?

What do you got that the big professional race teams don't?

I got the driver.

You just told me they had half a dozen drivers.

Not like this one.

This kid is special.

I've been working with him for a while.

I've never seen anything like it.

If I had the money, I'd back him myself.

Yeah, but you don't have the money.

Mr. Rose, you put this kid behind the wheel,

there's nothing he can't do.

There's money here. You can't lose.

Fuck you eating chink food in my fucking restaurant?

What's a Jew doing running a pizzeria?

You remember Shannon.

Take a fucking hike. I want to talk to my partner.

I'm just fucking with you.

How you doing, Shannon? How's the fucking leg?

I paid my debt.

I'll think about it. Okay?

But I want to meet the kid first.

That's all I ask.

Come on, I want you to meet somebody.

And whatever you do like about the car, don't say anything.

I want to drive the price down a little bit.

Kid, I want you to meet Mr. Bernie Rose.

Nice to meet you.

My hands are a little dirty.

So are mine.

Good driving out there.

Thanks.

He's a good kid.

So, what do you think? Do we get the 400?

I'll give you 300 for 70%.

Done.

Right. Good.

You won't be sorry.

- I'm Shannon. - Hi. Irene.

Irene. How can I help you?

It just broke down.

Just broke down. Just like that.

- You want me to take a look at it? - Yes, please.

All right.

We got all our bays full.

Hey, pal, just drop it down here. We'll push it in, all right?

We want to push her into number three.

- The car, not you. - Good.

- Hi. - Hi.

You two know each other?

Don't.

- Look at that. - We're neighbors.

Neighbors? Very good. Well, we'll try to be neighborly too.
