- [searching for car parts in a scrap yard]
- Peewee: What'chyou looking for, Wendell?
- Wendell Scott: Some of this, some of that, some of everything. A universal joint.
- Peewee: Hmph. I wouldn't know a universal joint if it bit me.
- Wendell Scott: Well, one's about to bite you.
- Wendell Scott: I got the best damn car and I can drive my black ass off. I know it!
- Peewee: Yeah, you the best nigger race driver I ever seen in my life.
- Wendell Scott: Tell 'em about it!
- Peewee: In fact, you the *only* nigger race driver I ever seen in my life.
- Mr. Jones: Didn't you ever have any crazy ideas? Lord knows, I had a few when I was your age.
- Wendell Scott: I had a few, sir, but I don't know if I should talk about it.
- Mr. Jones: Oh, go right ahead. We all family here.
- Wendell Scott: Well, sir, I wanted to be a champion race car driver.
- Mr. Jones: That's the craziest one I ever heard, all right. Who'd you think you's going to race with? Not them good old white boys?
- Wendell Scott: Yes sir, all depended.
- Mr. Jones: Depended on when hell freezes over.
- Deputy Turner: Boy, how old's that girl?
- Wendell Scott: She fourteen, sir.
- Deputy Turner: Fourteen. Girl, don't you let that boy knock you up. You know how you folks are.
- Mary: They laid off some more people today at the mill, mostly colored folk.
- Wendell Scott: That figures.
- Mary: You got paint all over the floor.
- Wendell Scott: It's all right. We can clean it up.
- Mary: You mean I'm going to clean it up.
- Wendell Scott: It doesn't matter, does it?
- Mary: It's not the money, is it? You like the risk, don't you?
- Wendell Scott: Ain't no risk, baby. I like to ride.
- Billy Joe Byrnes: Yellow flag means caution. So, you slow down.
- Wendell Scott: Yellow flag, caution. I slow down. Put my foot on the brakes.
- Billy Joe Byrnes: That's it. Black flag means get the hell off the track.
- Wendell Scott: Get the hell off the track on the black flag.
- Billy Joe Byrnes: And a white flag means you got one lap left to do.
- Wendell Scott: One lap left to do on the white flag.
- Billy Joe Byrnes: That's it. You understand it?
- Wendell Scott: I believe so, sir. Tell me about the checkered flag.
- Billy Joe Byrnes: I wouldn't worry about that checkered flag if I was you, boy.
- Hutch: What'd you get? Fourth?
- Wendell Scott: What'd you get?
- Hutch: I got a busted radiator, ass face.
- Wendell Scott: Peckerhead, I got two tickets to the Colonial restaurant for dinner.
- Hutch: You think you got two tickets. Cause, I happen to know they don't serve no boogies at this restaurant.
- Wendell Scott: They're going to serve this *boogie*.
- Wendell Scott: See what you get for fourth place. Ain't that somethin'?
- Woodrow: You would've had first place, if it wasn't for Beau Welles.
- Wendell Scott: To hell with Beau Welles! I got some plans for his ass. We on our way, Woodrow!
- Peewee: You entered the Grand National this morning?
- Wendell Scott: Sure did, Peewee.
- Peewee: You lyin'?
- Wendell Scott: No, I 'aint.
- Peewee: You got a car?
- Wendell Scott: No.
- Peewee: You got a crew?
- Wendell Scott: No.
- Peewee: Then, what you got?
- Wendell Scott: Heart.
- Beau Welles: What's the matter, boy? Having trouble with your tires?
- Wendell Scott: Damn.
- Beau Welles: Hey, colored boy, I'm talking to you.
- Wendell Scott: What you want, Beau?
- Beau Welles: I got two cars in this race. When that green flag drops, I'll drive one right up your ass.
- Wendell Scott: That suits me fine. Because you'll be behind. I'll be in front.
- Beau Welles: Boy, there's nothing I hate worse than a smart-aleck nigger.
