Speed Racer (2008)
Trixie:
[while watching race from above] Move it, Speed! It's getting ugly out there!
Pops Racer: You think you can drive a car and change the world? It doesn't work like that!
Speed: Maybe not, but it's the only thing I know how to do and I gotta do something.
Mr. Royalton: [to Speed] Listen to me and listen good, kid, because I can give you one more history lesson. You're going to go to Fuji and you're going to try and prove that everything I've just told you is nothing but a lie. But no matter how well you drive, you won't win, you won't place. I guarantee you right now that you won't even finish the race!
Speed: [to Royalton] Racing's in our blood. Like for Pops, it isn't just a sport. It's way more important than that. It's like a religion. And in our house, the major sponsors are kind of like the devil. I don't mean to offend you, sir, and I do appreciate your offer, but after all we've been through, I don't think this kind of deal is for me.
Mom: Distracted?
Speed's Teacher: No, that's not exactly right. Your son seems to be interested in only one thing. All he talks about, all he seems capable of thinking about, is automobile racing.
Mom: Well, you know, his father designs racing cars.
Speed's Teacher: And where is your husband?
Mom: Working. He couldn't be here.
Speed's Teacher: Perhaps the apple hasn't fallen very far from the tree.
Speed: Racing hasn't changed, and it never will.
Racer X: It doesn't matter if racing never changes. What matters is if we let racing change us. Every one of us has to find a reason to do this. You don't climb into a T-180 to be a driver. You do it because you're driven.
Trixie: Oh my god, was that a ninja?
Pops Racer: More like a "non"-ja. Terrible what passes for a ninja these days.
Minx: [after seeing Speed race] He's going to be very good.
Racer X: No, he's going to be the best... if they don't destroy him first.
Trixie: Cool beans.
Mr. Royalton: Pancakes are love.
Ben Burns: This isn't a race; it's a showdown.
[first lines]
Race Announcer: All drivers to your cars, please. All drivers to your cars.
Speed's Teacher: Speed Racer, slow down!
Rex: [to Speed] Stop steering and start driving. This ain't no dead piece of metal. A car's a living, breathing thing, and she's alive. Feel it talking to you. Telling you what she wants, what she needs. All you gotta do is listen. Close your eyes and listen.
Young Speed: [dazed after crashing] Who are you?
Young Trixie: I'm Trixie. I'm in your class.
Young Speed: Oh yeah. Hey, you want to see my car collection?
Young Trixie: I'd love to!
Mom: [catching Spritle playing with his chimp in the living room] Hey, what are you two doing?
Spritle: Nothing.
Mom: Was that the same nothing that broke my last couch?
Spritle: No, that was a totally different nothing.
Trixie: Since when did winning become so important?
Speed: It is important. You gotta win if you want to keep driving, and that's what I want to do. It's the only thing I really know how to do.
Trixie: That's not true.
Speed: Come on, I wouldn't have made it out of high school without your help.
Trixie: Okay, that's true.
Speed: [finding him hiding in his truck] Spritle!
Trixie: You little sneak!
Spritle: It wasn't my idea!
Speed: Oh no?
Spritle: [pointing to his chimp, who points back] It was his.
Pops Racer: [to Spritle] Get some exercise. You're too pale!
Speed: Okay, no more Mr. Nice Guy!
Speed: Haven't any of these drivers read the rule book?
Speed: I thought we made a good team today. It felt like we've been doing it for a long time.
Racer X: If you say so.
Speed: It's going to be okay.
Mom: You wouldn't lie to your mother, would you?
Speed: Never again.
Pops Racer: This is absolutely...
Speed: Crazy.
Pops Racer: I couldn't have been more proud of you, son. Not because you won, but because you stood up, you weren't afraid, and you did what you thought was right.
Speed: It didn't amount to anything. It was completely meaningless.
Pops Racer: How could it be meaningless? I saw my son become a man. I watched a man with courage and integrity drive the pants off of every other driver on that road. This is not meaningless. This is the reason for a father's life.
Trixie: [seeing Speed in a formal suit] Hubba-hubba!
Speed: Get that weak shit off my track!
Spritle: [Racer X and Inspector Detector are at the Racer's front door] It's Racer X, The Harbinger of Doom!
