Wheely Applegate Dirty road hog! Why doesn't he learn how to drive?
He knows how to drive, that's the trouble!
Wheely Applegate Yeah, I see what you mean.
Wheely Applegate I didn't understand what he was saying.
That's OK. He didn't understand what you were saying either. Come to think of it, I don't think *I* understood what you were saying.
Wheely Applegate They never say what I mean. That's what makes the female the species deadlier than the male.
You read that some place?
Wheely Applegate Yes, and I've got a mother, three sisters, and two ex-wives to prove it. Oh, they never told me they wanted me out of the house, but every time I came home, the lock was changed.
Is that knocking I hear in the gas tank?
Wheely Applegate Not in my gas tank. Never!
Sounds like something clunking around in here.
Wheely Applegate Well, we either listen to the driver and stop to take the gas tank apart, or we listen to the mechanic and try to win this race.
I'm listening to the mechanic. Let’s go, Herbie!
Wheely Applegate You mean "no Herbie."
Wheely Applegate All taken care of, Jim. Had a little tank with Herbie. Had to straighten him out. I don't mind having a car that's got a heart, but I will not tolerate a car falling in love with another car.
What did you expect him to fall in love with? The Goodyear blimp?
Wheely Applegate The Goodyear — Yeah. [laughs] Anyway, I said "Listen, Herbie, we're over here for one thing and one thing only. And that's to make the biggest comeback in racing history. So, no women in training camp. You just forget that little chick, and you can do it. Just a matter of mind over metal."
Wheely Applegate Don't let his modesty or this little car coming out of retirement fool you. There isn't a finer turned cleaner engine anywhere.
I'm sure it should be easy to keep clean. All you go to do is drop it in the washing machine, along with your socks.
Wheely Applegate Appreciate your humor. But just don't you worry about this little washing machi... [Jim elbows him] ... car!
Wheely Applegate It's a REAL JEWEL!
Douglas. Ah, yes, Monsieur Douglas. You're in the heat after this one. Good luck.
That's the same heat I'm in, Douglas. You're going to need more than luck. You're going to need wings.
Wheely Applegate Oh, yeah? Well, you may just be in for a little surprise.
Look for an even bigger surprise when the race starts.
Wheely Applegate He's out of his mind, all right. Over that luscious little Lancia.
