A scene from Days of Thunder 1990
Tim Daland

[Walks to tractor]

See you're enjoying the good life, Harry?

Harry Hogge

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'?

Harry Hogge

Runs good.

Tim Daland

[pause]

I... uh... I want you to build me a car.

Harry Hogge

[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.

Harry Hogge

[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.

Harry Hogge

[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.

Tim Daland

Take a look at him.

Harry Hogge

Anybody I gotta take a look at ain't somebody.

Tim Daland

Then take a look at nobody.

Harry Hogge

[stops tractor]

Tim, I give up racin', you gotta know that.

Tim Daland

Ah, you didn't give up racin', Harry. You quit to avoid investigation into Buddy's crash at Daytona.

Harry Hogge

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.

Harry Hogge

How they hell you sell 'em on that deal?

Tim Daland

I'm a helluva salesman.
