A scene from Ford v Ferrari 2019
Carroll Shelby
[about to take Ford on a drive in the GT40]

You ready?

Henry Ford II

The name on the middle of that steering wheel should tell you that I was born ready, Shelby. Hit it.

Carroll Shelby

Attaboy.

Henry Ford II
[Shelby proceeds to drive the GT40 with a fast acceleration]

Woah! It's got a little...kick. Doesn't it?

Henry Ford II
[Shelby continues to accelerate and drive the GT40 faster and faster through the course]

Woah! Oh my God...oh my God! [Shelby accelerates faster] Yeahhhh, baby!

Carroll Shelby
[Shelby weaves faster around cones, then finally spins to a stop. Ford frantically pants then starts openly crying]

...Mr. Ford...you okay? Mr. Ford, you alright?

Henry Ford II
[through sobs]

I had no idea...I had no idea. I wish my daddy...he were alive to see this...to feel this.

Carroll Shelby

Now, this is not a machine just anybody can get in and easily control.

Henry Ford II
[still gently sobbing]

Absolutely not. I had no idea.

Carroll Shelby

Now, you wanna win Le Mans, if you really wanna take first place, Ken Miles is the man to do it. [Ford finally calms down] Now he knows this car, because he helped me build it.

Henry Ford II

Shelby, you know I've already appointed Leo Beebe Director of Racing.

Carroll Shelby

Which is exactly why I'm talking to you. Now, you let Ken Miles race at Daytona. If he wins, he gets to drive Le Mans.

Henry Ford II

And if he doesn't?

Carroll Shelby

Ford Motor Company gets full ownership of Shelby American. Lock, stock, and brand...forever.
