Scenes with Tim Daland
2 scenes Tim Daland [Walks to tractor]
See you're enjoying the good life, Harry?
Yeah. Well I don't mind spreadin' a little fertilizer round now and then. There's worse things.
Tim Daland How's the truck runnin'?
Runs good.
Tim Daland [pause]
I... uh... I want you to build me a car.
[stops tractor]
Now, Tim, everyone knows some downtown car dealer can't afford a race team. And no driver worth a damn is gonna sign with you. Cause they wreck one car, you can't afford to build them another, and their out of the deal, you know. And no car's gonna win without a driver, not even mine.
Tim Daland [points to Harry]
If you built the car, I'd get a damn driver.
[starts driving tractor]
What kinda driver you gonna find after the season's started? Some ole' boy that's washed up, and wasn't worth a shit to begin with.
Tim Daland You can work with him. You can build a driver like you build a car, Harry.
[points to dog]
Tim, take a look at that hound. Now that's the best coon dog I ever seen or heard about, and I didn't teach him a damn thing.
Tim Daland Well I got somebody.
Who?
Tim Daland Take a look at him.
Anybody I gotta take a look at ain't somebody.
Tim Daland Then take a look at nobody.
Tim Daland Ah, you didn't give up racin', Harry. You quit to avoid investigation into Buddy's crash at Daytona.
Hey, I didn't avoid any God-damn investigation.
Tim Daland [rolls eyes]
Well, anyway, I... uh... I talked to NASCAR and if you come back in there won't be any investigation.
How they hell you sell 'em on that deal?
Tim Daland I'm a helluva salesman.
Tim Daland What's wrong with him?
I'll tell you what wrong with this deal is you, Tim. You're a victim of your own god-damn creation! Two race teams? That's one too many roosters in the henhouse.
Tim Daland It doesn't seem to bother Russ Wheeler.
Oh, no, no, ever since that Daytona crash Cole's been called a troublemaker. Wheeler figures he can bump and bam Cole all he wants.
Tim Daland I don't see Russ doing anything like that. NASCAR doesn't see Russ doing anything like that.
Oh I guess it ain't happening then under the watchful eyes of experts like you and NASCAR!
Tim Daland I'll tell you what is happening—Cole's not running good, he's not looking good and now he's got sponsor trouble!
But you don't, is that it?
Tim Daland As far is that goes, no, I don't, but I want to keep the sponsor and Cole, he's the one that made this happen and I haven't forgotten that, Harry.
Right, right.
