- Wow.
- Whats the matter?
2:07:06
Weve just got a new problem.
2:07:08
He likes the car so much
he wants to keep it.
2:07:13
Okay, the car is his, but he has to let me
drive it in the El Dorado.
2:07:17
Now, if I win, tell him he gets to keep
the prize money...
2:07:19
but he has to sell Herbie
back to me for a dollar.
2:07:23
Now you speak my language.
2:07:34
Attention: Drivers and owners
report to Mr Granatelli:::
2:07:38
at the presidents headquarters:
2:07:40
Further, you must remain on the secondary
roads which have been posted for this race.
2:07:44
Other than that, weve tried to
reduce the rules to a minimum.
2:07:47
Instead of all this technical namby-pamby
theres so much of today...
2:07:50
were putting the emphasis on
speed, endurance and courage,
the way it used to be.
2:07:58
As you know, this is open formula racing.
Anything goes.
2:08:01
Any style of car and crew you wish.
2:08:03
The object, gentlemen, is to win.
I wish you all the very best of luck.
2:08:12
Mr Wu, I understand that you are
the new owner of the Douglas car.
2:08:15
As I too am interested in the vehicle,
I took the liberty of looking you up.
2:08:19
- Thank you.
- You will therefore forgive me, sir...
2:08:20
when I say that you are perhaps
not quite as naive as you look.
2:08:24
In point of fact,
you are a very shrewd operator...
2:08:27
one who has managed to acquire,
by one means or another--
2:08:30
legitimate means, of course--
2:08:32
a number of varied enterprises.
2:08:35
It is truly written:
One cannot lose em all.
2:08:38
In the light of this,
would you entertain a sizable wager...
2:08:41
on the outcome of the race?
2:08:43
Wager? The goddess of fortune will
always find me her most ardent suitor.
2:08:48
Splendid. Splendid. Shall we step
in here? A little more private.
2:08:52
Youre Mr Thorndyke.
Ive always wanted to meet you.
2:08:55
Youve heard of me?
How charming.
2:08:58
Are you not the gentleman who originated
the idea of small print...
