The Art of Racing in the Rain Quotes

  • Enzo: He picked me out of a pile of pups, a tangled mass of paws and tails. He'd stopped at the farm on his way home from the speedway at Yakima. Even back then, I knew I was different than other dogs. My soul just felt more human.

  • Denny: And what if I don't win?

    Don Kitch: There's no dishonor in losing the race, there's only dishonor in not racing because you're afraid to lose.

  • Denny: You've been a good friend. Very good friend.

    Enzo: The best of friends.

  • Denny: The car goes where the eyes go.

  • Enzo: Sometimes my life seems like it has been so long and so short at the same time. I feel as if I've lived for an eternity.

    Denny: [enters the house] Yo, Enz?

    Enzo: And yet it's as if no time has passed at all.

    Denny: [notices Enzo lying on the floor] Enzo?

    Enzo: I hear the worry in his voice.

    Denny: What happened pal? Oh, Enz.

    Enzo: I can smell the day on him. Motor oil and gasoline and roast chicken.

    Denny: Can you get up, bud?

    Enzo: I saw a documentary about Mongolia on TV once.

    Denny: [steps over Enzo and bends to rub hin] Oh... Okay.

    Enzo: In Mongolia, when a dog dies, he is buried high in the hills, so people cannot walk on his grave.

    Denny: [Rubbing him] I'm here buddy, I'm right here.

    Enzo: His master whispers into the dog's ears his wishes that in his next life the dog will return as a man. Not all dogs return as men they say. Only those who are ready.

    Denny: Let's get you up

    [picks Enzo up]

    Enzo: I am ready. I know death is not the end. Eve told me so. And I believe her. When I return to this world, I will practically be an adult the moment I am plucked from the womb with all the preparation I have done.

    Denny: [lays down on the sofa with Enzo] there he is.

    Enzo: I will walk among my fellow men, lick my lips with my small dexterous tongue and shake hands with a firm grasp.

    Denny: [rubbing his head] There's my Enzo.

    Enzo: And I will teach people all that I know. All that I have learned.

    Denny: [puts on tv] you okay now?

    Enzo: I'm fine Denny. I am.

    Denny: You've always been with me. You've always been my Enzo. First time I saw you, I knew we were supposed to be together. I love you boy.
