Driver 2: Learn how to drive!

[in a Ferrari dealership]

Roger the Car Salesman: My name's Roger, sir. May I be of some help?

Memphis: That's funny, my name's Roger... Two Rogers don't make a right.

[laughs]

Memphis: Roger, I have a problem...

Roger the Car Salesman: Yes?

Memphis: I've been in L.A. for three months now. I have money, I have taste. But I'm not on anybody's "A" list, and Saturday night is the loneliest night for the week for me.

Roger the Car Salesman: Well, a Ferrari would certainly change that.

Memphis: Perhaps, mmm. But, you know, this is the one. Yes, yes yes... I saw three of these parked outside the local Starbucks this morning, which tells me only one thing. There's too many self-Indulgent wieners in this city with too much bloody money! Now, if I was driving a 1967 275 GTB four-cam...

Roger the Car Salesman: You would not be a self-indulgent wiener, sir... You'd be a connoisseur.

Memphis: Precisely. Champagne would fall from the heavens. Doors would open. Velvet ropes would part.

Raymond Calitri: One, you kill me, they kill you, your brother dies anyway. Two, you lie, you accept the job, you run, I hunt you down, I kill you, I kill your brother, and I kill your mother for the aggravation you cause me. Three, you accept the job, you steal some cars, you make some money, and you be a big brother.

Mirror Man: Hey Sphinx, check it out. Homeboy got "SNAKE" on the license plate. Well, Snake gon' have to slither his ass all the way to the bus stop in the morning... I got some low-riding music for you. It's better than that cracker shit you listen to.

[Freb brings a Cadillac into Otto's place]

Freb: I can deliver more than pizzas, huh? Boosted her myself.

Donny: How did you get this car?

Freb: Actually, the keys were in it.

Donny: Well, that kinda defies the point.

Memphis: You stole a car that wasn't on the list. Why don't you just go to the police station in a red clown suit and let everybody know what we're doing here?

Johnnie B.: Raines! Memphis Raines!

Memphis: Do I know you?

Johnnie B.: Well, you should know me, considering all the business you screwed up for me in the past, baby.

Memphis: Johnnie B.

Johnnie B.: That's me.

Memphis: What can I do for you?

Johnnie B.: Well, I'll tell you what you can do for me. Get out of Long Beach, tonight.

Johnnie B.: Word on the street is that Raymond Calitri hired you and your brother for a top order, a order that should have gone to me.

Memphis: That's not the way it went down, Johnnie...

[Sphinx blows up the car, then advances, shedding his coat]

Johnnie B.: Got something to say before I kill you, fool?

[Sphinx easily thrashes Johnnie and all his thugs]

Memphis: Sphinx. Otto sent you?

Kip: Why are people shooting at us?

Memphis: 'Cause I blew up their car!

[Johnnie B.'s gang is chasing Memphis and Kip, but they stop when they go into a diner with a police car outside]

Memphis: Look!

[pointing]

Memphis: Cop car! Uh-huh! Long as I'm in there, you're just gonna sit out there, aren't you, ai'ight?

Kip: Hey, what time is it?

Atley Jackson: Seven-thirty. I think I'm gonna have to - get you outta town or something. Your brother's the best boost in the world but I don't how if he's gonna make this one.

Kip: Uh, I'm not like my brother. You know, I don't just abandon my friends.

Atley Jackson: Oh man, I oughta smack you silly, boy. You think your brother ran away, you better get your story straight.

Kip: Well, go on then. Straighten it out.

Atley Jackson: Your mother told him to go. She knew that if Memphis stayed, you were gonna walk his line. You were gonna join his crew. But she told him to pick up and go. And he did, thinking it was best for you. He left all of us, for you. I guess it wasn't that big a deal for him though, really. Wasn't that big a sacrifice leaving everything he'd ever known behind. Than six years later, ain't life grand? You became a car boost anyway. How 'bout that?

Police chopper pilot: [after Memphis got away from the helicopter driving Eleanor] He's gone.

Det. Roland Castlebeck: GOD!

Drycoff: Man this guy can drive!

Det. Roland Castlebeck: What? WHAT?

Drycoff: It's probably mostly the car...

Drycoff: What's up?

Det. Roland Castlebeck: What's the story with that HumVee?

Drycoff: Gone.

Det. Roland Castlebeck: Cadillac?

Drycoff: Same. Where we goin'?

Det. Roland Castlebeck: The only '67 Shelby in the area is registered at a place called the International Towers in Long Beach.

Drycoff: Let's go to Long Beach.

Tumbler: Yo, so check out my new move. I call it "the Stranger." What I do is, I sit on my hand for, like, 15, 20 minutes, until it goes numb. No feeling at all. And then I rub one out.

Toby: "The Stranger," huh?

Atley Jackson: It's like a little boy's nursery school I've come upon here.

Donny: Hey, did you see a box of rubber gloves around here?

Mirror Man: Gloves? Man, you don't need gloves! This is the new age! Check it out.

Donny: What is this?

Mirror Man: Just let me see that big claw you call a hand.

[He spreads adhesive onto Donny's fingertip]

Mirror Man: That ain't donut jelly, so don't eat it.

[He applies the false fingerprint]

Mirror Man: Your new fingerprints. Elvis is back.

Donny: Damn...

Mirror Man: Boy got skills, right?

Donny: Yeah, you do.

[They bump fists]

Donny: You're like a little ghetto Smurf.

Drycoff: Are you alright?

Bashed Cop: I think so...

Drycoff: Are you sure? 'Cause you just went through a wall.

[approaching an alarm panel]

Mirror Man: Now, to get this open we just...

[Sphinx flicks his knife, and pries the panel open]

Mirror Man: I'm telling you, I'm running this shit! You do that again, and I will kick...!

[Sphinx turns and glares at him, still holding his knife]

Mirror Man: ...Cool, man. You don't have to take everything so damn personal.

Sway: What do you think is more exciting... having sex or stealing cars?

Memphis: Having sex or boosting cars... Um, oo! Well, uh... How about having sex WHILE boosting cars?

Sway: Oh, that's a good line. Doesn't work on a lot of girls, though.

Memphis: I just blurted it out, I'm sorry... But, you haven't answered the question.

Sway: Well, you see, the problem is... how do you get over the shifter?

Memphis: Oh, oh right... because the uh...

Sway: 'Cos it gets in the way.

Memphis: Because you wouldn't want to disrupt the syncro-mesh... the throttle linkage... the clutch master cylinder... the overhead camshaft.

Sway: I can't do this.

Memphis: Straight inline 6, triple Weber carburetors, bolted to each other's body structures...

Sway: Well, it's time to work...

Memphis: Good brakes... good brakes, too!

Memphis: [From The Director's Cut] The list.

Donny: Ahhh, the list. Well, I guess we gotta start beatin' the bushes trying to find out where they... whoa. 1967 Shelby GT 500?

Memphis: I know. I know.

Donny: You got Eleanor here?

Memphis: It's weird, huh?

Donny: It's... voodoo.

Memphis: Oh, nonono, no, don't, don't say that.

Donny: [sings] I put a spell on you.

Police chopper pilot: Air One. we're over the pursuit.

[Memphis hits the nitrous button]

Police chopper pilot: Suspect has increased speed to 120.

Drycoff: Maintain visual, Air One.

Police chopper pilot: 140 miles an hour.

Drycoff: *Do not* lose him.

Police chopper pilot: This is an A-Star, sir, not an Apache.

Drycoff: That sign said "DO NOT ENTER".

Det. Roland Castlebeck: Ya, you noticed, huh?

[nearly sideswipe a oncoming vehicle]

Drycoff: Gee!

Det. Roland Castlebeck: Keep your pants on.

Toby: [to Otto] I think that your dog ate the keys.

Otto Halliwell: Wait, he usually goes for the license plate... are you sure?

[Toby shows him the ripped up envelope]

Tumbler: Wait a minute... Wait a minute... the dog ate the keys.

Toby: YES.

Tumbler: [laughs] How... How are you gonna get them out?

Donny: [to Tumbler] Not funny.

Tumbler: [to Sphinx] Oh... excuse me.

[Sphinx flicks open his knife]

Toby, Otto Halliwell: [stops Sphinx] Whoa... don't even think about it, Sphinx.

Memphis: [to Sphinx] It's all right.

Raymond Calitri: [aiming a gun] Who are you?

Det. Roland Castlebeck: I'm a police officer. You don't want to do that now.

Raymond Calitri: Yeah, I do.

Det. Roland Castlebeck: Listen to me. You walk out of here with me, you've got some options. You kill me - now you think about this, I'm a police officer - your life will be over.

Raymond Calitri: No, you've got that the wrong way around. If I kill you, *your* life's over. Not all bad, though. Your funeral will be on the telly. Everybody out there, pressed and dressed. Guard of honor, twenty-one gun salute, and the stars and stripes draped all over your coffin.

[tightens his finger on the trigger]

Raymond Calitri: It'll be the greatest day of your life...

[Memphis appears and kicks Calitri over the rail]

[after Calitri falls to his death, Memphis and Castlebeck both look at Castlebeck's dropped gun. Slowly, Castlebeck bends over and picks it up]

Det. Roland Castlebeck: Here I am smack dab in the middle of a moral dilemma, Randall. You've ripped this city to shreds with that little escapade of yours, you and your Eleanor. But I understand what brought you back here. A brother's love is... a brother's love.

[pause]

Det. Roland Castlebeck: You just saved my life, didn't you? So what are we going to do now?

Memphis: It's your call, Detective.

Det. Roland Castlebeck: [chuckles] Get out of here, Randall. I'll clean this up. Go, now, before I change my mind. Go.
