1
00:00:01,059 --> 00:00:03,111
We don't have to
give him anything now.
2
00:00:03,111 --> 00:00:04,612
We'd pay him when we can.
3
00:00:04,612 --> 00:00:07,115
Jack, I know what I'm talking about.
4
00:00:07,115 --> 00:00:09,367
Sweetie, you're the best mechanic there is.
5
00:00:09,367 --> 00:00:11,452
You're tops.
6
00:00:11,953 --> 00:00:14,288
Sure.
7
00:00:14,288 --> 00:00:16,290
Come on, John!
8
00:00:16,290 --> 00:00:18,793
Jack, we can do it.
9
00:00:18,793 --> 00:00:23,798
Maybe we couldn't do it before, but
John's not a problem now, he's a big boy.
10
00:00:23,798 --> 00:00:27,301
We don't even have to drag him around
with us, he can stay at Mom's.
11
00:00:27,301 --> 00:00:30,304
It can work.
Oh, sorry, I didn't know
you guys were talkin'.
12
00:00:30,304 --> 00:00:32,256
No, we're not,
we're leavin'.
13
00:00:32,590 --> 00:00:34,175
Jack, I want
to talk about this.
14
00:00:34,175 --> 00:00:36,177
Just listen to what
Connie has to say, okay?
15
00:00:36,177 --> 00:00:38,679
I don't give a shit
what Connie's got to say.
16
00:00:38,679 --> 00:00:40,181
I say we don't race no more.
17
00:00:40,181 --> 00:00:43,184
Excuse me, I don't
mean to butt in, but, uh,
18
00:00:43,184 --> 00:00:45,686
if she wants to race,
uh, why don't you just--
19
00:00:45,686 --> 00:00:49,607
Why don't you just
stick it up your ass.
20
00:00:49,607 --> 00:00:51,109
Dad, come on,
me and Angela--
21
00:00:51,109 --> 00:00:53,611
I don't need lip from you, all right?
Not from you.
22
00:00:53,611 --> 00:00:56,497
Ow! Okay.
Come on, get in the car.
23
00:00:56,497 --> 00:00:59,033
Now you get in.
I said get in that car.
24
00:00:59,033 --> 00:01:00,835
No.
Get in the car!
25
00:01:05,206 --> 00:01:07,959
No.
26
00:01:32,950 --> 00:01:35,453
Shirley.
You all right?
27
00:01:40,458 --> 00:01:42,960
You need a ride home?
28
00:01:43,461 --> 00:01:45,963
Come on.
29
00:02:26,871 --> 00:02:28,256
[Jack] Hey!
30
00:02:28,456 --> 00:02:29,924
Hey, now you got
a funny car, huh?
31
00:02:30,208 --> 00:02:31,626
Is that funny
enough for you?
32
00:02:31,926 --> 00:02:35,796
I'll come down and we'll both have
a good laugh, all right, Shirl?
33
00:02:48,359 --> 00:02:50,361
Hey! Where do you
think you're goin'?
34
00:02:50,361 --> 00:02:52,897
Hey! What the hell
do you think you're doin'?
35
00:03:00,204 --> 00:03:01,205
Get out of that car!
36
00:03:01,205 --> 00:03:03,824
Get out!
I said get out!
37
00:03:04,075 --> 00:03:05,459
Come on,
get out of there!
38
00:03:05,459 --> 00:03:08,546
Get out of here!
39
00:03:08,546 --> 00:03:10,298
Aw, shit.
40
00:04:10,524 --> 00:04:12,476
[phone ringing]
41
00:04:19,483 --> 00:04:22,486
Jack, I don't want to talk about it,
put John on the phone.
42
00:04:22,486 --> 00:04:23,621
Mom.
It's me,
43
00:04:23,621 --> 00:04:26,073
Hi, honey.
Where's Daddy?
44
00:04:26,073 --> 00:04:30,411
He's okay.
He's sleeping on the couch.
45
00:04:30,411 --> 00:04:32,830
Don't wake him.
46
00:04:32,830 --> 00:04:37,335
Okay, honey,
just listen to me.
47
00:04:37,335 --> 00:04:41,839
I can't explain it
real good right now.
48
00:04:41,839 --> 00:04:46,844
I can't be with
your Dad anymore, okay?
49
00:04:47,228 --> 00:04:52,817
You just, um, go to school
and take care of yourself.
50
00:04:52,817 --> 00:04:58,322
Okay, and, um, as soon as I get
settled I'll come and get you.
51
00:04:58,823 --> 00:04:59,824
All right?
52
00:04:59,824 --> 00:05:02,326
If you need to talk
about anything with me,
53
00:05:02,326 --> 00:05:06,330
or if you need anything
just, um, call Grandma.
54
00:05:06,330 --> 00:05:08,866
Okay, she'll know
where I am.
55
00:05:08,866 --> 00:05:10,868
How long 'til
you're settled?
56
00:05:10,868 --> 00:05:15,956
Not long, honey.
I promise.
57
00:05:16,457 --> 00:05:19,460
John? Mommy loves
you so much.
58
00:05:22,963 --> 00:05:26,467
On Tuesday, aren't we gonna sign me up
for the model building class at the Y?
59
00:05:29,470 --> 00:05:31,972
Oh, John, I'm sorry.
60
00:05:31,972 --> 00:05:34,475
Um, you want
to go with Grandma?
61
00:05:34,475 --> 00:05:37,978
Tell you what,
I'll call Grandma tomorrow.
62
00:05:37,978 --> 00:05:38,863
Okay.
63
00:05:38,863 --> 00:05:42,283
Don't worry about me, Mom.
64
00:05:42,283 --> 00:05:44,285
I never worry about you.
65
00:05:44,285 --> 00:05:45,236
You're my big boy.
66
00:05:45,236 --> 00:05:49,206
Mom, I love you too.
67
00:05:52,660 --> 00:05:55,162
Okay, honey, I'll
talk to you real soon.
68
00:05:55,663 --> 00:05:56,163
Okay.
69
00:05:56,664 --> 00:05:59,166
Okay...bye bye.
70
00:05:59,166 --> 00:06:01,168
Bye.
71
00:06:39,256 --> 00:06:42,176
## And I only have eyes ##
72
00:06:46,764 --> 00:06:49,266
## For you ##
73
00:06:49,266 --> 00:06:53,220
## Sha bop sha bop ##
74
00:06:53,220 --> 00:06:57,274
## Sha bop sha bop ##
75
00:06:57,274 --> 00:07:01,278
## Sha bop sha bop ##
76
00:07:01,278 --> 00:07:03,981
## Sha bop sha bop ##
77
00:07:04,482 --> 00:07:06,400
[Connie]
What you're lookin' at
is something that's gonna
78
00:07:06,400 --> 00:07:07,985
stand drag racing
right on its ear.
79
00:07:07,985 --> 00:07:10,488
I'm not talking about some bimbo
hangin' all over a car.
80
00:07:10,488 --> 00:07:11,989
I'm talkin' about
puttin' a beautiful woman
81
00:07:11,989 --> 00:07:13,491
right there in
the driver's seat.
82
00:07:13,491 --> 00:07:17,461
Can't you just hear Cha Cha sayin',
"Corral your gal with Lariat"?
83
00:07:17,461 --> 00:07:19,497
She's beautiful.
84
00:07:19,497 --> 00:07:21,999
Look at her eat those
press people up, I tell ya.
85
00:07:22,500 --> 00:07:24,752
Cha Cha!
Call her Cha Cha!
86
00:07:24,752 --> 00:07:29,256
Cha Cha, what's a beautiful girl like
you doin' racin' in a place like this?
87
00:07:29,256 --> 00:07:30,224
Winning.
88
00:07:30,224 --> 00:07:31,759
[laughing]
89
00:07:32,259 --> 00:07:34,261
If you don't believe it, come
down to the track Sunday.
90
00:07:34,261 --> 00:07:36,263
Cha Cha, what do you
think of women's lib?
91
00:07:36,564 --> 00:07:39,984
She thinks it's horse shit.
92
00:07:39,984 --> 00:07:45,523
Well, that's what Connie thinks, but,
uh, we all know what he's full of.
93
00:07:45,906 --> 00:07:50,995
[laughing]
94
00:07:50,995 --> 00:07:53,497
Terrible teenagers.
95
00:07:53,497 --> 00:07:55,366
Hey, open up in there!
It's the police!
96
00:07:59,119 --> 00:08:00,538
Hi, Mom.
97
00:08:00,788 --> 00:08:02,373
John, come on.
98
00:08:02,373 --> 00:08:04,041
What's going on in here?
99
00:08:04,041 --> 00:08:05,042
[Shirley]
Got a big race tomorrow.
100
00:08:05,543 --> 00:08:07,761
Hi, Connie.
101
00:08:07,761 --> 00:08:09,763
See you tomorrow.
Yeah, good stuff today.
102
00:08:09,763 --> 00:08:11,765
Yeah, we'll have
a better day tomorrow.
103
00:08:11,765 --> 00:08:12,766
Really, John,
time to go.
104
00:08:13,350 --> 00:08:15,352
Yeah.
105
00:08:15,352 --> 00:08:16,387
Good night.
106
00:08:16,387 --> 00:08:17,888
Night night.
107
00:08:27,398 --> 00:08:28,816
[laughing]
108
00:08:39,076 --> 00:08:41,078
[Announcer]
On the right-hand lane,
a special treat.
109
00:08:41,412 --> 00:08:45,499
A young lady from the East
Coast making her first
ever West Coast appearance.
110
00:08:46,000 --> 00:08:46,967
Cha Cha Muldowney.
111
00:08:47,334 --> 00:08:49,587
In the tower lane
is going to be Art Foster.
112
00:08:50,170 --> 00:08:51,171
They're set. The start.
113
00:08:51,171 --> 00:08:53,390
Both drivers get all the
traction they can handle.
114
00:08:53,390 --> 00:08:54,892
This is a good race.
115
00:08:54,892 --> 00:08:58,345
Until half track, Cha Cha Muldowney
is pulling ahead of Art Foster.
116
00:08:58,345 --> 00:09:00,481
And she takes the win light.
117
00:09:00,481 --> 00:09:04,318
A 6.55 for Cha Cha improves
on her qualifying time.
118
00:09:04,318 --> 00:09:08,322
215 miles an hour
to poor Art's 6.75.
119
00:09:08,322 --> 00:09:10,574
He's gonna take a lot of ribbing
about this in the pit area.
120
00:09:11,075 --> 00:09:14,528
The lady got to him, and has to
make believers out of a lot of you
121
00:09:14,528 --> 00:09:16,030
as Cha Cha goes
into the second round.
122
00:09:16,530 --> 00:09:19,533
Announcing races all over the country,
I have had a chance to follow
123
00:09:19,533 --> 00:09:23,420
Cha Cha's career a little bit from the
outlaw tracks in New York and New Jersey
124
00:09:23,420 --> 00:09:26,790
up through a nice little A dragster
that finally set a national record.
125
00:09:27,291 --> 00:09:30,761
In fact, Cha Cha was so impressive
that N.H.R.A. finally just had to relent
126
00:09:30,761 --> 00:09:35,966
on their long-standing policy of allowing
female drivers only in the stock car ranks.
127
00:09:36,433 --> 00:09:39,970
You consider that Connie Kalitta and
Don Garlits were first to sign her license.
128
00:09:39,970 --> 00:09:44,475
She is in Connie Kalitta's funny car,
now appropriately called the Bounty Huntress.
129
00:09:44,475 --> 00:09:46,477
Now, Kalitta has spent
thousands and thousands
130
00:09:46,477 --> 00:09:48,278
of dollars to field
this car for Cha Cha.
131
00:09:48,479 --> 00:09:50,981
Okay, I suggest you find
a seat in the grandstands
132
00:09:51,365 --> 00:09:53,450
because you don't want to miss this.
133
00:09:53,450 --> 00:09:57,705
Big Daddy Don Garlits up against the
Bounty Hunter from Michigan, Connie Kalitta.
134
00:09:58,072 --> 00:10:02,042
Garlits, the black car, the winningest
drag racer ever in any category.
135
00:10:02,042 --> 00:10:05,045
Can I see those?
136
00:10:05,045 --> 00:10:07,047
[Announcer]
This has been a tremendous
step forward safety-wise.
137
00:10:07,047 --> 00:10:08,415
The engine now
behind these drivers.
138
00:10:08,666 --> 00:10:11,051
The hot oil and fire
is not right in their face.
139
00:10:11,251 --> 00:10:15,139
Now, in the right-hand lane, the first
driver to ever top 200 miles an hour.
140
00:10:15,506 --> 00:10:17,808
Connie Kalitta,
the Bounty Hunter.
141
00:10:17,808 --> 00:10:21,178
These two have been going at each other's
throats since the late '50s.
142
00:10:21,512 --> 00:10:25,149
And it's been many years since you California
fans have seen them side by side
143
00:10:25,149 --> 00:10:26,016
in this state.
144
00:10:26,316 --> 00:10:27,401
Kalitta in the far lane.
145
00:10:27,901 --> 00:10:31,405
Big Daddy Garlits
on the tower side.
146
00:10:36,160 --> 00:10:39,613
At half track, Kalitta's
car is skating around a bit.
147
00:10:45,452 --> 00:10:51,125
Stay back. Do not go
down to that crash site.
148
00:10:51,508 --> 00:10:53,043
You'll only be in the way.
149
00:10:53,043 --> 00:10:56,046
Our well-trained O.C.I. emergency
crew is already rolling.
150
00:10:56,547 --> 00:10:58,298
They are on the way.
151
00:10:58,549 --> 00:11:00,884
You've got to stay back,
ladies and gentlemen.
152
00:11:00,884 --> 00:11:02,386
Please, back
into your seats.
153
00:11:02,886 --> 00:11:05,889
As soon as I have some word on the
condition of Connie Kalitta
154
00:11:05,889 --> 00:11:07,391
I will pass it along to you.
155
00:11:07,391 --> 00:11:08,942
Please believe me,
I will do that.
156
00:11:08,942 --> 00:11:11,645
We've got to get
everybody out of there.
157
00:11:11,645 --> 00:11:12,980
You have got
to get back, folks.
158
00:11:13,230 --> 00:11:14,815
Kalitta's crew is there.
159
00:11:14,815 --> 00:11:19,820
They are moving very carefully from
what's left of that top fuel dragster.
160
00:11:19,820 --> 00:11:22,322
Cha Cha Muldowney is
on the scene to help.
161
00:11:22,322 --> 00:11:24,908
Our own emergency crews
are rolling to the scene.
162
00:11:24,908 --> 00:11:27,878
But they will be there just
as soon as they can get there.
163
00:11:27,878 --> 00:11:30,914
But please, ladies and gentlemen,
we've got to get everybody out of there.
164
00:11:30,914 --> 00:11:34,752
Connie Kalitta is on his feet!
165
00:11:34,752 --> 00:11:35,836
He is waving to the crowd.
166
00:11:36,420 --> 00:11:40,424
I guess that got their attention.
167
00:11:55,022 --> 00:11:56,523
Cheese!
168
00:11:56,523 --> 00:11:59,109
Good, help, no, John, don't
blow out the candles.
169
00:11:59,610 --> 00:12:01,161
You want me to wait
until you take the picture?
170
00:12:01,745 --> 00:12:02,780
The other side,
come around the other side.
171
00:12:03,363 --> 00:12:04,364
Okay, good.
172
00:12:04,364 --> 00:12:05,866
Honey, would you
move in there, too?
173
00:12:06,366 --> 00:12:07,868
All three of you get
real close together.
174
00:12:07,868 --> 00:12:09,787
Mom, would you
take the picture?
175
00:12:09,787 --> 00:12:13,791
When I say 1-2-3, I want
a really big smile, okay.
176
00:12:13,791 --> 00:12:19,346
1-2-3, cheese.
[phone ringing]
177
00:12:19,346 --> 00:12:20,347
Hello.
178
00:12:20,347 --> 00:12:21,799
[Jack]
Happy birthday.
Dad.
179
00:12:22,349 --> 00:12:24,184
Hey, listen, what'd
you think of the gift?
180
00:12:24,184 --> 00:12:27,688
The gift. Oh, yeah, um, the gift.
181
00:12:27,688 --> 00:12:31,775
Just somethin' that I'd
want when I was your age.
182
00:12:31,775 --> 00:12:34,778
You know, you could use it
the best way you see fit.
183
00:12:34,778 --> 00:12:39,733
Oh, Dad, look, this $100
is gonna be great.
184
00:12:39,733 --> 00:12:41,735
[Connie]
Happy birthday!
185
00:12:41,735 --> 00:12:44,238
Okay, everyone, we
can start the party now!
186
00:12:44,238 --> 00:12:45,739
Mrs. Roque, so nice to see you again.
187
00:12:45,739 --> 00:12:48,242
Hello, Connie. I'd like you to
meet my wife, Mary Ann.
188
00:12:48,242 --> 00:12:50,744
[Mary Ann] Hello.
[Mrs. Roque] It's nice to meet you.
189
00:12:51,161 --> 00:12:52,246
[Connie]
You must be Linda, Shirley's sister.
190
00:12:52,746 --> 00:12:54,214
Shirley talks about you all the time.
191
00:12:54,214 --> 00:12:57,251
Hey, John Muldowney, birthday boy,
get off that phone.
192
00:12:57,251 --> 00:12:58,252
I got something for you.
193
00:12:58,752 --> 00:12:59,253
[John]
Hi, Connie.
194
00:12:59,753 --> 00:13:01,255
[Connie]
Take a look at this.
195
00:13:01,255 --> 00:13:03,257
Go ahead, strap it on.
[John]
That's great, Connie.
196
00:13:03,757 --> 00:13:06,260
[Connie]
Hey, where's your mom?
197
00:13:06,260 --> 00:13:08,762
You okay?
198
00:13:08,762 --> 00:13:12,266
Yeah, great.
199
00:13:12,266 --> 00:13:14,768
What am I supposed to do?
Leave her at home?
200
00:13:14,768 --> 00:13:18,272
[Mrs. Roque]
Come on in, everyone, look at this.
201
00:13:18,272 --> 00:13:21,825
Grandfather's guitar.
202
00:13:21,825 --> 00:13:23,277
Mom, did you see
Grandpa's guitar?
203
00:13:23,694 --> 00:13:25,829
What do you think?
204
00:13:25,829 --> 00:13:27,664
This is great.
205
00:13:27,915 --> 00:13:30,534
Hi, Mary Ann.
206
00:13:30,534 --> 00:13:31,451
Hello.
207
00:13:34,371 --> 00:13:36,840
Get this away from me.
Get yourself away from it.
208
00:13:36,840 --> 00:13:40,627
I can't believe you're not helping, would
you take this? This is awful, I'm getting fat.
209
00:13:50,771 --> 00:13:53,273
Don't strain yourselves.
210
00:13:57,644 --> 00:14:00,781
Cha Cha, I got
something to show you.
211
00:14:01,114 --> 00:14:02,199
Hey, Mrs. Roque.
212
00:14:02,199 --> 00:14:07,371
John Muldowney, get your
birthday butt out here, boy.
213
00:14:07,371 --> 00:14:08,956
What do you think,
is this incredible?
214
00:14:09,456 --> 00:14:12,960
It's a big one.
How 'bout that, huh?
215
00:14:12,960 --> 00:14:17,497
All right.
That's some car.
216
00:14:17,831 --> 00:14:20,918
Know who's gonna be first to
ride it in competition? You.
217
00:14:25,973 --> 00:14:28,558
I just had to come back over.
218
00:14:28,558 --> 00:14:31,561
I'm sorry about before, my,
uh, crazy situation.
219
00:14:35,565 --> 00:14:39,069
You're the number one most
important thing in my life.
220
00:14:41,071 --> 00:14:44,441
All right, Carlos, my man,
let's see how fast...
221
00:16:19,453 --> 00:16:22,039
Mom!
222
00:17:21,064 --> 00:17:25,102
Come on, let's go, let's get her
to the hospital, come on!
223
00:17:25,102 --> 00:17:26,520
It's gonna be all right.
224
00:17:42,085 --> 00:17:45,539
[Announcer]
Third match point
for Billie Jean King.
225
00:17:53,964 --> 00:17:57,467
You watch Bobby, he'll behave
like a perfect gentleman.
226
00:17:57,968 --> 00:18:02,973
And so this is what it's come down to,
here in the Houston Astrodome.
227
00:18:02,973 --> 00:18:06,977
Billie Jean fought for equal pay for
women in the U.S. Open tennis tournament
228
00:18:06,977 --> 00:18:08,979
and got it.
229
00:18:08,979 --> 00:18:12,983
All of the women of America, or at least
most of them, seem to be caught up
230
00:18:13,483 --> 00:18:15,402
with the anticipation
of this match.
231
00:18:36,806 --> 00:18:38,808
Excuse me. Hi.
232
00:18:38,808 --> 00:18:41,261
I'm looking for Mrs. Shirley
Muldowney's room.
233
00:18:41,261 --> 00:18:44,314
Oh, she's B171, it's right
down the hall on your right.
234
00:18:44,314 --> 00:18:46,816
Thank you.
235
00:18:56,493 --> 00:18:57,360
Hi.
236
00:19:01,698 --> 00:19:05,619
Got here as soon
as I could.
237
00:19:06,119 --> 00:19:10,123
It sure ain't
been our season.
238
00:19:10,373 --> 00:19:12,959
My flying business
has been crazy.
239
00:19:12,959 --> 00:19:15,929
I've been traveling all over.
240
00:19:16,346 --> 00:19:18,932
I got, uh, caught
in some rough weather.
241
00:19:18,932 --> 00:19:24,521
Otherwise I would
have been here sooner.
242
00:19:24,521 --> 00:19:27,524
Sorry about that damn blower.
243
00:19:27,524 --> 00:19:29,526
As soon as I can,
I'm going over,
244
00:19:29,526 --> 00:19:32,612
I'm gonna beat the shit out of
that guy who sold it to me.
245
00:19:38,118 --> 00:19:40,403
Baby.
246
00:19:44,741 --> 00:19:46,293
I hit some rough air.
247
00:19:46,293 --> 00:19:47,877
Really.
248
00:19:52,382 --> 00:19:57,420
She smooth it out for you?
249
00:19:57,420 --> 00:19:58,388
Rita?
250
00:19:58,922 --> 00:20:00,924
That's Carlos'
little sister, man.
251
00:20:01,424 --> 00:20:04,427
Carlos asked me to do him a favor,
252
00:20:04,427 --> 00:20:07,430
so I flew her down
here to be with him.
253
00:20:07,847 --> 00:20:09,733
Shirley, come on!
254
00:20:09,983 --> 00:20:12,068
Have you ever seen her?
255
00:20:12,068 --> 00:20:15,071
Hey, I'm talkin' bow wow, man.
256
00:20:15,071 --> 00:20:16,406
Okay, I'm gonna go get her.
257
00:20:16,606 --> 00:20:18,191
'Cause I don't want
you worryin' about nothin'
258
00:20:18,692 --> 00:20:20,744
when you should be
taking care of yourself.
259
00:20:27,751 --> 00:20:29,753
Aw, baby.
260
00:20:29,753 --> 00:20:32,255
Oh, Connie, it was horrible.
261
00:20:32,255 --> 00:20:35,258
I was so scared.
262
00:20:35,258 --> 00:20:39,262
I know. I know.
263
00:20:39,262 --> 00:20:42,015
Baby, I love you.
264
00:20:42,015 --> 00:20:45,435
I got that stuff from the pharm--
265
00:20:45,435 --> 00:20:46,936
Hey.
266
00:20:46,936 --> 00:20:48,938
Thanks, sweetie.
I got it, thank you.
267
00:20:49,356 --> 00:20:51,107
You need anything else?
268
00:20:51,608 --> 00:20:54,361
No, honey, thanks.
269
00:21:03,153 --> 00:21:06,072
I look like shit.
270
00:21:06,072 --> 00:21:09,576
Yep.
271
00:21:09,909 --> 00:21:11,494
Hello, Dad, it's John.
272
00:21:11,494 --> 00:21:12,996
Hey, John, how you doin'?
273
00:21:12,996 --> 00:21:14,497
I'm all right.
274
00:21:14,497 --> 00:21:17,000
I'm callin' from California.
Sorry to call you at work.
275
00:21:17,000 --> 00:21:18,501
Don't worry about it.
276
00:21:18,501 --> 00:21:21,004
Mom was in a fire, and, uh,
she's in the hospital.
277
00:21:21,004 --> 00:21:22,505
She was in an accident?
278
00:21:22,505 --> 00:21:25,508
Yeah, well, she burned her arm
and around her eyes pretty bad.
279
00:21:25,508 --> 00:21:27,510
But doc says she's
gonna be all right.
280
00:21:27,510 --> 00:21:29,512
The damn funny car,
she can't handle it, John.
281
00:21:29,512 --> 00:21:32,015
No, Dad, it wasn't her fault
or anything like that.
282
00:21:32,015 --> 00:21:33,516
We were trying this new
goddamn blower
283
00:21:33,516 --> 00:21:37,020
and it just went off like a bomb.
Just like that, really.
284
00:21:37,020 --> 00:21:41,024
So I's thinkin', look, you think maybe
you could give her a call here or somethin'?
285
00:21:41,024 --> 00:21:44,027
I think she'd like to hear from
you, you know, she's real down.
286
00:21:44,527 --> 00:21:48,531
It's not gonna do any good for me
to tell her I told you so, you know?
287
00:21:48,531 --> 00:21:50,533
Well, you don't have
to say that, Dad.
288
00:21:50,533 --> 00:21:52,535
Listen, John, the boss
left me here alone.
289
00:21:52,535 --> 00:21:56,039
Look, just give her a call or something,
Dad, you know, just say hello.
290
00:21:56,039 --> 00:21:59,042
I will. Take care of yourself, okay?
John, I gotta get goin'.
291
00:21:59,542 --> 00:22:03,546
Dad, if you change your mind give us
a call, we're at Orange County Memor--
292
00:22:03,546 --> 00:22:06,049
Memorial Hospital.
293
00:22:25,785 --> 00:22:29,823
I'd like to talk to you about
the new 1973 cars from Chrysler.
294
00:22:30,373 --> 00:22:33,993
Now, these beautiful models represent
the state of the art in engineering.
295
00:22:50,477 --> 00:22:52,479
Hey, baby.
296
00:22:52,479 --> 00:22:55,982
It's great to see you.
Me, too.
297
00:22:55,982 --> 00:22:57,484
I couldn't wait.
298
00:22:57,984 --> 00:23:00,487
Come on.
299
00:23:00,987 --> 00:23:02,489
It's good to be back.
300
00:23:02,489 --> 00:23:03,990
How you feelin'?
Missed you.
301
00:23:03,990 --> 00:23:05,992
How's your arm?
302
00:23:05,992 --> 00:23:07,994
Oh, it's better.
It's coming along.
303
00:23:07,994 --> 00:23:10,280
Here you go.
304
00:23:10,280 --> 00:23:13,366
Let me see those peepers.
305
00:23:18,671 --> 00:23:21,374
Ralph, just give
me 5 more minutes.
306
00:23:21,374 --> 00:23:24,043
You got one.
I can't get it done in one, man!
307
00:23:24,377 --> 00:23:27,464
I'm just now coming up
on the Bounty Hunter pits.
308
00:23:27,464 --> 00:23:29,799
Oh, boy, this car is
a long way from being ready.
309
00:23:30,300 --> 00:23:32,101
I can't allow you
more time, now move it.
310
00:23:32,101 --> 00:23:34,053
Is the clutch done?
Almost.
311
00:23:34,053 --> 00:23:35,638
Don't give me almost!
Come on!
312
00:23:35,638 --> 00:23:37,140
I'm not about to get in their way.
313
00:23:37,640 --> 00:23:39,142
They need all the time they can get.
314
00:23:39,642 --> 00:23:41,144
But there is an interesting spectator here.
315
00:23:41,144 --> 00:23:42,562
Shirley "Cha Cha" Muldowney.
316
00:23:43,062 --> 00:23:46,649
Her arm bandaged but looking surprisingly
well considering your recent funny car fire.
317
00:23:46,649 --> 00:23:50,320
How you feeling?
I'm feeling fine, Steve, thank you,
it's good to be back.
318
00:23:50,870 --> 00:23:53,873
All of us are anxious to know what
your future plans are, Shirley.
319
00:23:53,873 --> 00:23:57,377
Well, Steve, at this time I don't
have any definite plans.
320
00:23:57,377 --> 00:24:00,663
I can say one thing for sure.
I'm through with funnys.
321
00:24:00,880 --> 00:24:03,967
You're not gonna make it. You're out.
Bullshit to that!
322
00:24:04,250 --> 00:24:06,886
[Shirley] That's not what I said.
I said I'm through with funnies.
323
00:24:06,886 --> 00:24:09,305
I'm not getting in
another funny car.
324
00:24:09,639 --> 00:24:11,724
And I will have
more on this later.
325
00:24:11,724 --> 00:24:12,725
Okay, thank you, Shirley.
326
00:24:13,226 --> 00:24:15,428
Shirley is rushing off to
catch up with Connie Kalitta,
327
00:24:15,428 --> 00:24:17,931
who just stormed away from
here after an official.
328
00:24:17,931 --> 00:24:19,432
His car has already
been scratched.
329
00:24:19,432 --> 00:24:22,268
Back to the tower.
330
00:24:24,521 --> 00:24:26,489
Drivers only!
331
00:24:26,489 --> 00:24:27,824
Lady, I said...
332
00:24:27,824 --> 00:24:28,741
[screaming]
333
00:24:28,741 --> 00:24:33,162
Asshole!
334
00:24:38,701 --> 00:24:41,371
And now, Chrysler, which
is the top of the line...
335
00:24:41,371 --> 00:24:43,873
It'll quicken the hearts of...
336
00:24:45,592 --> 00:24:48,678
Connie, come on, Connie!
337
00:24:49,679 --> 00:24:52,181
Connie, hold it!
338
00:24:55,768 --> 00:24:57,353
It's over.
339
00:25:09,449 --> 00:25:13,453
Unbecoming my ass!
340
00:25:13,453 --> 00:25:14,954
How long?
341
00:25:15,455 --> 00:25:17,957
Indefinite suspension.
342
00:25:17,957 --> 00:25:19,459
Why don't they just say forever.
343
00:25:19,959 --> 00:25:21,661
I'll tell you what the hell this is.
344
00:25:21,661 --> 00:25:24,163
This is television, that's
all they give a shit about.
345
00:25:24,163 --> 00:25:26,165
Their lousy bread. They
don't give a shit about us!
346
00:25:26,165 --> 00:25:29,168
Just there own hot shit
image, their damn revenue.
347
00:25:29,636 --> 00:25:32,672
They think they're
the son-of-a-bitchin' NFL.
348
00:25:33,172 --> 00:25:36,676
Give me a rum and coke.
Forget about the coke.
349
00:25:37,176 --> 00:25:38,978
Assholes.
350
00:25:39,178 --> 00:25:40,763
What the hell
are you lookin' at?
351
00:25:41,264 --> 00:25:43,266
Nothin', I'm just
enjoying the weather.
352
00:25:43,266 --> 00:25:46,769
Connie, come on.
353
00:25:46,769 --> 00:25:50,273
This used to be a good time sport,
you know?
354
00:25:50,273 --> 00:25:52,275
Shit.
355
00:25:52,275 --> 00:25:56,779
People hangin' out. Gettin' rowdy.
356
00:25:56,779 --> 00:26:02,452
Tryin' to make us into damn golf.
357
00:26:02,452 --> 00:26:05,455
Think they'll make me wear a dress?
358
00:26:05,455 --> 00:26:07,457
Maybe that'd be a good idea.
359
00:26:07,957 --> 00:26:12,462
What the hell, why not buy
yourself an asbestos bikini?
360
00:26:12,462 --> 00:26:17,467
Cha Cha Muldowney,
the funny car stripper.
361
00:26:17,467 --> 00:26:20,803
Connie, I'm gonna run top fuel.
362
00:26:21,020 --> 00:26:24,474
You're gonna go up against
Garlits, Graham, those guys?
363
00:26:24,474 --> 00:26:25,308
I'm gonna win.
364
00:26:25,608 --> 00:26:27,193
Oh, yeah?
365
00:26:27,193 --> 00:26:29,112
Well, why the shit not?
What the hell?
366
00:26:29,112 --> 00:26:30,480
Television'll love you.
367
00:26:30,480 --> 00:26:31,981
You'll sell a lot of beer.
368
00:26:31,981 --> 00:26:34,984
You build the car.
I'll drive it.
369
00:26:34,984 --> 00:26:36,202
You be my crew chief.
370
00:26:36,786 --> 00:26:38,287
They can't stop you
from doin' that, right?
371
00:26:38,788 --> 00:26:42,291
That's beautiful, me, a crew chief?
372
00:26:42,291 --> 00:26:43,576
Is that what you're sayin'?
373
00:26:43,793 --> 00:26:45,745
Connie, I'm talkin' about
keeping you in racing, honey.
374
00:26:46,045 --> 00:26:48,715
I'm talking about keeping us together.
375
00:26:48,715 --> 00:26:50,667
Keepin' us goin'.
376
00:26:53,636 --> 00:26:57,140
Look, I'll tell you what.
377
00:26:57,640 --> 00:27:02,011
When you're ready to talk
about this, I'll be upstairs.
378
00:27:02,011 --> 00:27:03,896
What, what?
379
00:27:04,147 --> 00:27:05,648
Hey, lady, buy you a drink?
380
00:27:06,015 --> 00:27:09,185
Shirley!
381
00:27:09,185 --> 00:27:12,188
It's me, Mickey.
382
00:27:12,188 --> 00:27:14,691
Mickey.
How are you?
383
00:27:15,191 --> 00:27:16,192
Oh, baby,
how are you?
384
00:27:16,192 --> 00:27:17,694
Oh, you're lookin' wonderful!
385
00:27:17,694 --> 00:27:19,162
Yeah, big bucks.
386
00:27:19,746 --> 00:27:21,614
So, you got married, huh?
387
00:27:21,914 --> 00:27:22,999
Yeah, hey, better late than never.
388
00:27:22,999 --> 00:27:24,951
I've got a couple of kids, look.
No.
389
00:27:28,421 --> 00:27:32,125
Shirley Muldowney!
You know what I think?
390
00:27:32,125 --> 00:27:34,627
I think top fuel,
why the hell not!
391
00:27:35,128 --> 00:27:37,130
I'm gonna be the best
damn crew chief.
392
00:27:37,130 --> 00:27:39,132
And you're gonna be
the best damn driver.
393
00:27:39,132 --> 00:27:42,635
And I'm gonna make you top fuel
champion of the whole damn world.
394
00:27:42,635 --> 00:27:46,139
Connie Kalitta's gonna ram
Cha Cha Muldowney right up their asses!
395
00:27:46,522 --> 00:27:47,390
Kalitta.
396
00:27:47,390 --> 00:27:48,691
Mickey White.
397
00:27:48,691 --> 00:27:53,780
That is, if you still want me.
398
00:28:03,956 --> 00:28:07,460
[Announcer]
1975, Cha Cha Muldowney
with Connie Kalitta
399
00:28:07,460 --> 00:28:10,963
as her crew chief breaks into
the top 15 for the first time.
400
00:28:11,330 --> 00:28:14,634
Hey, Cha Cha, smile.
401
00:28:14,634 --> 00:28:17,720
[Announcer]
1976, Cha Cha Muldowney
402
00:28:17,720 --> 00:28:22,508
becomes the first woman ever to win
an N.H.R.A. national event.
403
00:28:24,844 --> 00:28:29,098
1977, Shirley "Cha Cha" Muldowney
has won 3 national events in a row
404
00:28:29,515 --> 00:28:33,603
and is this year's favorite to
capture the world championship.
405
00:28:35,938 --> 00:28:37,907
Sunday! Sunday!
406
00:28:37,907 --> 00:28:42,745
Big Daddy Don Garlits himself versus
Shirley "Cha Cha" Muldowney.
407
00:28:42,745 --> 00:28:46,249
They'll pound the ground and smoke
the tires to 230 miles an hour.
408
00:28:46,249 --> 00:28:47,750
Will the lady tame this one?
409
00:28:47,750 --> 00:28:50,253
Will Big Daddy put
the lady in her place?
410
00:28:50,253 --> 00:28:54,540
Sunday! Sunday! Shirley "Cha Cha" Muldowney
taking on all the big boys! Be there!
411
00:28:54,791 --> 00:28:58,878
With us, in case any of you don't
recognize him, is Big Daddy Don Garlits.
412
00:28:58,878 --> 00:29:01,881
He is still the man to beat in any drag race.
413
00:29:01,881 --> 00:29:05,384
But even he can't deny the performance
of this Kalitta-Muldowney car.
414
00:29:05,384 --> 00:29:06,886
Can you?
415
00:29:06,886 --> 00:29:09,889
Well, you know, Steve, in my
experience, a good built car
416
00:29:09,889 --> 00:29:12,892
can give a few wins to
almost any average driver.
417
00:29:12,892 --> 00:29:16,896
If you call winning three
national events in a row,
418
00:29:16,896 --> 00:29:22,785
in one year, um, average, what
would you call your record?
419
00:29:22,785 --> 00:29:25,288
Well, I'm just lookin' forward to the
little lady showin' her nerves
420
00:29:25,288 --> 00:29:26,289
when it really counts.
421
00:29:26,289 --> 00:29:28,791
I don't think she can handle it.
422
00:29:28,791 --> 00:29:30,793
There you have it, there's
only one place this argument's
423
00:29:31,294 --> 00:29:32,628
gonna be settled
: on the race track.
424
00:29:32,879 --> 00:29:35,248
Shirley! Shirley! Can
I have your autograph?
425
00:29:35,248 --> 00:29:39,302
Sure.
426
00:29:39,302 --> 00:29:42,004
Good luck, Donald!
427
00:29:42,004 --> 00:29:43,389
Good luck to you too, darlin'.
428
00:29:44,724 --> 00:29:46,726
#### [French]
429
00:29:52,231 --> 00:29:54,233
Oh, bonjour, good afternoon,
430
00:29:54,233 --> 00:29:57,236
and welcome once again to
John Paul's Country Kitchen.
431
00:29:57,236 --> 00:30:02,742
Today we have on the celebrity table
[speaking French] a very special guest.
432
00:30:05,244 --> 00:30:08,531
[speaking French]
Cha Cha Muldowney!
[speaking French]
433
00:30:08,698 --> 00:30:10,783
The world's fastest woman.
434
00:30:11,167 --> 00:30:14,253
Yes, that's as in drag racing.
435
00:30:14,253 --> 00:30:15,588
I race top fuel dragsters.
436
00:30:15,872 --> 00:30:16,956
We had a tape.
437
00:30:16,956 --> 00:30:18,791
A tape?
We have a tape?
438
00:30:19,041 --> 00:30:22,011
Roll the tape, please.
439
00:30:22,011 --> 00:30:25,514
Ah, yes, there we are.
This is the Spring Nationals.
440
00:30:25,514 --> 00:30:27,516
That's me racing Don Garlits.
441
00:30:27,516 --> 00:30:30,887
That's me beating Don Garlits.
442
00:30:31,187 --> 00:30:34,273
I love beating Donald,
he's such a bad loser.
443
00:30:34,273 --> 00:30:37,143
That was my crew. My son, John,
and Rahn Tobler.
444
00:30:37,476 --> 00:30:42,064
Cha Cha is here with us in Montreal
for the Grand National Auto Race.
445
00:30:42,064 --> 00:30:45,568
And also to prepare
for us her favorite dish.
446
00:30:45,568 --> 00:30:47,570
And that dish is, Cha Cha?
447
00:30:47,570 --> 00:30:51,073
Excuse me, it's Shirley,
it's just Shirley Muldowney.
448
00:30:51,574 --> 00:30:53,993
That's right,
Cha Cha, lasagna.
449
00:30:54,377 --> 00:30:57,330
We start with a layer of the pasta.
450
00:30:57,713 --> 00:31:01,250
And sometimes the pasta
tends to stick together.
451
00:31:01,250 --> 00:31:04,220
Oh, yes, lasagna does that.
452
00:31:04,553 --> 00:31:06,138
You know, there's
a good trick for that.
453
00:31:06,639 --> 00:31:09,759
If you put a little oil in
he water when you're cooking it,
454
00:31:09,976 --> 00:31:11,761
the pasta won't stick together as much.
455
00:31:11,761 --> 00:31:12,762
Thank you, Cha Cha.
456
00:31:13,145 --> 00:31:15,231
Excuse me, I'm sorry.
457
00:31:15,231 --> 00:31:18,267
It's Shirley, okay,
it's not Cha Cha.
458
00:31:18,517 --> 00:31:20,236
Shirley Muldowney.
459
00:31:25,324 --> 00:31:28,828
[phone ringing]
460
00:31:33,833 --> 00:31:34,834
Hello.
461
00:31:35,334 --> 00:31:36,335
[Woman]
Am I speaking to Shirley?
462
00:31:36,836 --> 00:31:39,338
Yes.
463
00:31:39,338 --> 00:31:40,840
I know Connie's with you.
464
00:31:41,340 --> 00:31:43,843
I think it's only
honest that I talk to you.
465
00:31:44,343 --> 00:31:45,344
Who's this?
466
00:31:45,344 --> 00:31:48,848
I'm a friend of his.
I'm in the coffee shop.
467
00:31:48,848 --> 00:31:50,800
I think we better talk.
468
00:31:50,800 --> 00:31:54,854
I'll be right down.
469
00:31:55,354 --> 00:31:56,856
## Get the phone
off the hook ##
470
00:31:57,356 --> 00:31:58,858
## Turn out the light ##
471
00:31:58,858 --> 00:32:03,863
## The Do Not Disturb
sign's hangin' tonight ##
472
00:32:47,857 --> 00:32:50,443
I know he's with you, but there's
something you should know.
473
00:32:50,443 --> 00:32:56,282
Connie loves me and
he's going to marry me.
474
00:32:56,282 --> 00:32:59,251
He flew me down here,
he got me a room.
475
00:32:59,251 --> 00:33:03,255
And when he didn't
show up, I just...
476
00:33:03,789 --> 00:33:05,174
How long have you known him?
477
00:33:05,174 --> 00:33:07,176
Four years.
478
00:33:07,676 --> 00:33:12,098
We met when he was visiting
you in the hospital.
479
00:33:12,598 --> 00:33:16,102
Right, you're a nurse, right?
480
00:33:27,613 --> 00:33:29,482
What did you think was going on?
481
00:33:30,066 --> 00:33:32,568
What would he say to you?
482
00:33:32,568 --> 00:33:35,821
He said you were
just working for him.
483
00:33:41,327 --> 00:33:44,163
We've been together seven years.
484
00:33:44,163 --> 00:33:46,966
Well, what we have is special.
485
00:33:46,966 --> 00:33:48,467
I know, he's told me.
486
00:33:48,467 --> 00:33:51,971
I'm the number one most
important thing in his life.
487
00:34:01,981 --> 00:34:04,150
Got a cigarette?
488
00:34:10,573 --> 00:34:12,658
Ah, shit.
489
00:34:17,329 --> 00:34:19,782
Baby?
490
00:34:19,782 --> 00:34:23,836
You saw her, how could
it be anything serious?
491
00:34:23,836 --> 00:34:26,839
She was very sweet
to me and, uh, I mean,
492
00:34:26,839 --> 00:34:28,841
how could I
be a shithead to her?
493
00:34:28,841 --> 00:34:30,342
It happened one time!
494
00:34:30,342 --> 00:34:32,845
Honest, that's it.
495
00:34:33,295 --> 00:34:35,848
She...she...
496
00:34:40,019 --> 00:34:42,021
I-I-I'm just trying
to let her down easy
497
00:34:42,021 --> 00:34:44,106
and then she just keeps
following me around.
498
00:34:44,106 --> 00:34:45,608
What am I supposed to do?
499
00:34:45,608 --> 00:34:47,610
I love you.
500
00:34:47,610 --> 00:34:51,864
You are the number one most
important thing in my life.
501
00:35:04,410 --> 00:35:08,497
[Man]
The Winston tools, emblematic
of the world championship,
502
00:35:08,497 --> 00:35:11,500
as determined by the Winston
series points total...
503
00:35:12,001 --> 00:35:16,505
goes this year to Shirley Muldowney.
504
00:35:28,350 --> 00:35:31,904
Thank you.
505
00:35:31,904 --> 00:35:37,409
I have to give special
thanks to Rahn and John...
506
00:35:42,414 --> 00:35:46,418
who've done such a great
job for us all year.
507
00:35:46,919 --> 00:35:50,923
And, uh, to our many sponsors.
508
00:35:50,923 --> 00:35:55,928
And to the guys at N.H.R.A. who
organize these great events.
509
00:35:58,881 --> 00:36:03,936
And to Jack Muldowney,
who built my first car.
510
00:36:03,936 --> 00:36:08,941
And to Conrad Kalitta,
who built my best car.
511
00:36:08,941 --> 00:36:12,945
And, of course, to all our fans
who've given us such great support.
512
00:36:15,948 --> 00:36:19,952
And to my father, who
always knew I could do it.
513
00:36:24,957 --> 00:36:28,961
Connie Kalitta, Shirley's crew
chief, Connie, come up here.
514
00:36:32,965 --> 00:36:35,467
There's, uh...
515
00:36:35,467 --> 00:36:37,970
There's really only one
person for me to thank.
516
00:36:37,970 --> 00:36:41,423
Uh, and that's Shirley Muldowney,
517
00:36:41,423 --> 00:36:46,428
who, uh, I've always said is the best
pure driver I've ever seen.
518
00:36:48,931 --> 00:36:53,435
She deserves a lot of credit
for keeping the faith,
519
00:36:53,936 --> 00:36:56,488
through a lot
of really hard times.
520
00:36:56,488 --> 00:37:00,993
And, uh, I love her.
521
00:37:00,993 --> 00:37:02,995
[clapping]
522
00:37:05,497 --> 00:37:06,999
[Man]
Oh, I don't know, Connie.
523
00:37:06,999 --> 00:37:10,002
You bring in a beautiful
woman like that to beat us.
524
00:37:10,002 --> 00:37:11,003
Making us guys look bad.
525
00:37:11,003 --> 00:37:12,504
[laughing]
526
00:37:12,504 --> 00:37:15,507
[Connie]
Some of my best friends are women.
527
00:37:15,507 --> 00:37:18,010
[Man]
Good thing you didn't
teach 'em all how to drive.
528
00:37:18,010 --> 00:37:20,512
[Connie]
Hey, seriously,
Shirley is the best.
529
00:37:21,013 --> 00:37:23,015
Driving. I'm talkin' about drivin'.
530
00:37:44,286 --> 00:37:47,206
[tapping]
531
00:37:47,206 --> 00:37:49,208
What the hell are you doin'?
532
00:37:49,208 --> 00:37:51,994
You can forget that shit 'cause
I'm taking you out to dinner.
533
00:37:52,494 --> 00:37:55,247
And I'm not talkin' pizza.
I'm talkin' escargot atChez Philip's.
534
00:37:55,748 --> 00:37:58,050
I don't want to go anywhere with you.
535
00:37:58,550 --> 00:38:00,169
Okay. Okay.
536
00:38:00,169 --> 00:38:03,756
I was hopin' to do this by candle
light in some fancy restaraunt,
537
00:38:03,756 --> 00:38:06,592
but if this is the way you want it.
Merry Christmas.
538
00:38:06,842 --> 00:38:09,428
Connie, don't.
539
00:38:09,428 --> 00:38:11,430
Clark made it up special.
540
00:38:11,430 --> 00:38:14,433
He owed me for a set of pistons.
541
00:38:14,433 --> 00:38:17,319
Look, enough,
I don't want it.
542
00:38:17,319 --> 00:38:19,071
Okay, I don't want
any presents from you.
543
00:38:19,655 --> 00:38:21,657
I don't want to go
out with you.
544
00:38:21,657 --> 00:38:23,492
I don't want
anything from you.
545
00:38:23,992 --> 00:38:25,994
What the hell's going on here?
546
00:38:25,994 --> 00:38:28,497
First you call me for
an appointment like I'm
547
00:38:28,497 --> 00:38:30,366
some kind of a damn
doctor or something.
548
00:38:30,366 --> 00:38:33,869
Look, I've been going over our
records for the past seven years.
549
00:38:33,869 --> 00:38:39,875
Now, um, seems like the top fuel operation
has pretty much evened itself out.
550
00:38:39,875 --> 00:38:43,712
There's still an outstanding debt left
over from our first funny car.
551
00:38:44,046 --> 00:38:47,132
Something in the neighborhood
of about $1200.
552
00:38:47,132 --> 00:38:49,551
What's all this about?
553
00:38:50,052 --> 00:38:52,187
I just want to be fair
and get it over with.
554
00:38:52,688 --> 00:38:55,391
Is that right?
555
00:38:58,894 --> 00:39:00,813
[door closing]
556
00:39:02,865 --> 00:39:03,816
[door opening]
557
00:39:03,816 --> 00:39:06,151
Okay, okay, listen, I know
I've been lousy to you.
558
00:39:06,368 --> 00:39:08,987
But this crazy situation
of mine is gonna change.
559
00:39:08,987 --> 00:39:10,823
You know that.
It's gonna change.
560
00:39:10,823 --> 00:39:14,910
Look, I'm expecting a telephone
interview in a little while.
561
00:39:15,411 --> 00:39:17,413
It's the radio.
562
00:39:17,413 --> 00:39:21,333
And, uh, I'm making an announcement.
563
00:39:21,333 --> 00:39:24,169
I've decided to race
the car without you, Connie.
564
00:39:24,169 --> 00:39:26,004
Rahn and John are
gonna handle the car.
565
00:39:26,004 --> 00:39:27,589
I'm gonna handle the money.
566
00:39:28,090 --> 00:39:32,094
Just Rahn and John?
567
00:39:32,094 --> 00:39:35,180
I can't afford to have
you in the picture.
568
00:39:35,180 --> 00:39:38,650
It's that simple, right?
569
00:39:47,743 --> 00:39:50,746
[door closing]
570
00:39:51,246 --> 00:39:54,249
[phone ringing]
571
00:40:01,757 --> 00:40:02,708
Hello.
572
00:40:02,708 --> 00:40:05,761
[Jack]
Hey. How you doin'?
573
00:40:06,261 --> 00:40:07,763
It's Christmas time
and I finally said, uh,
574
00:40:07,763 --> 00:40:12,267
I get around to congratulate
you on winning that thing.
575
00:40:12,267 --> 00:40:13,769
How ya doin', Jack?
576
00:40:14,186 --> 00:40:17,272
I'm doin' fine.
577
00:40:17,272 --> 00:40:19,691
How's John?
How's he doin'?
578
00:40:19,691 --> 00:40:22,194
Aw, he's great.
579
00:40:22,194 --> 00:40:24,613
He works for me
full time now, you know?
580
00:40:24,613 --> 00:40:25,614
Full time, huh?
581
00:40:26,114 --> 00:40:27,616
Yeah!
582
00:40:27,616 --> 00:40:29,618
Well, you must
be doin' good, then.
583
00:40:29,618 --> 00:40:30,652
Finally makin' that big money.
584
00:40:30,652 --> 00:40:33,238
Well, I'm doin' a little better.
585
00:40:33,705 --> 00:40:37,743
What about you?
What's going on with your station?
586
00:40:38,243 --> 00:40:39,711
My station?
Station's okay.
587
00:40:39,711 --> 00:40:42,247
With the way the gas prices have
been hiking up now,
588
00:40:42,714 --> 00:40:46,251
could you believe that there is a
line around the place?
589
00:40:46,251 --> 00:40:48,253
There was for a couple weeks.
590
00:40:51,757 --> 00:40:54,760
Good thing I'm not
running gas anymore, huh?
591
00:40:54,760 --> 00:40:57,062
Yeah. Yeah, uh...
592
00:40:57,262 --> 00:41:01,350
listen, Shirl, um...
593
00:41:01,350 --> 00:41:02,851
you know, you and I never talked
594
00:41:02,851 --> 00:41:06,655
about the things you took
when you left, you know?
595
00:41:07,155 --> 00:41:07,990
Yeah.
596
00:41:08,240 --> 00:41:12,828
Look, um...
597
00:41:12,828 --> 00:41:15,831
I never bothered you when
you didn't have anything.
598
00:41:15,831 --> 00:41:19,201
Now you got something, and I think
it's only fair we settle up, don't you?
599
00:41:22,170 --> 00:41:24,673
Okay, Jack. I'll see
what I can do, okay?
600
00:41:27,175 --> 00:41:29,177
Look, I gotta get
off the phone now.
601
00:41:29,177 --> 00:41:30,178
I'm expecting
a radio interview.
602
00:41:30,178 --> 00:41:32,180
I'm really sorry.
I can't tie up the line.
603
00:41:32,180 --> 00:41:34,550
It was just a bad time
for you to call.
604
00:41:34,800 --> 00:41:36,885
Okay. All right.
605
00:41:39,388 --> 00:41:42,891
Could you, uh...tell John that I
wish him a real Merry Christmas,
606
00:41:42,891 --> 00:41:44,192
you know, from his Dad.
607
00:41:44,393 --> 00:41:47,980
I'll send him something if, you know...
608
00:41:47,980 --> 00:41:49,481
Merry Christmas, Jack.
609
00:41:52,451 --> 00:41:53,902
Have a nice interview,
all right, Shirl?
610
00:41:54,369 --> 00:41:56,321
Sure.
611
00:42:19,645 --> 00:42:22,648
[rings]
612
00:42:30,155 --> 00:42:31,657
Hello.
[Man]
Shirley Muldowney, please.
613
00:42:32,157 --> 00:42:33,659
Yes, this is she.
614
00:42:33,659 --> 00:42:36,662
Oh, terrific, Shirley. Hey, I got
Muldowney, you can stop calling.
615
00:42:36,662 --> 00:42:39,164
Listen, I'm Bob Morton, Sportsline,
my producer talked to you.
616
00:42:39,164 --> 00:42:41,166
Yes, Bob. Your phone's been so goddamn busy,
617
00:42:41,166 --> 00:42:43,168
I'm gonna have to wing this thing.
618
00:42:43,168 --> 00:42:44,670
Listen, we're doing this end-of-the-year
sports wrap-up,
619
00:42:44,670 --> 00:42:47,172
and I don't know doodly-squat
about whatever the hell it is
620
00:42:47,172 --> 00:42:49,675
you do with those cars, so you
gotta carry me some, okay?
621
00:42:50,175 --> 00:42:51,677
Sure.
Now, what is it you won?
622
00:42:51,677 --> 00:42:53,178
Some kind of award
or something? What?
623
00:42:53,178 --> 00:42:56,682
Yes. I hold the current N.H.R.A.
top fuel championship.
624
00:42:56,682 --> 00:42:58,183
Okay, listen, here's
what's gonna happen.
625
00:42:58,684 --> 00:43:01,186
I'm gonna read this little intro,
talk to you a while,
626
00:43:01,186 --> 00:43:03,188
and I'm gonna ask if you have any regrets
627
00:43:03,188 --> 00:43:05,190
and you do a Christmas
sentiment thing, you got me?
628
00:43:05,190 --> 00:43:07,192
Uh-huh, sure.
Okay.
629
00:43:07,192 --> 00:43:09,194
I'm gonna come right out of
commercial, so stand by.
630
00:43:09,194 --> 00:43:11,697
All right? Okay. Three,
two, one, okay. Hey, hi!
631
00:43:11,697 --> 00:43:13,699
Bob Morton, Sportsline.
Our guest today is
632
00:43:13,699 --> 00:43:16,201
Shirley Muldowney, a local
gal who has made it big.
633
00:43:16,201 --> 00:43:18,704
She's the current N.H.R.A.
top fuel champion,
634
00:43:18,704 --> 00:43:21,707
driving a car for the local favorite,
Connie "The Bounty Hunter" Kalitta.
635
00:43:21,707 --> 00:43:23,709
Shirley, you there?
Yes, Bob.
636
00:43:23,709 --> 00:43:27,713
Hey, congratulations on winning the N.H.R.A.
fuel championship of the world!
637
00:43:27,713 --> 00:43:29,214
Thank you.
Hey, now, Shirley,
638
00:43:29,214 --> 00:43:31,717
did it ever cross your mind when
you were playing with dolls
639
00:43:32,217 --> 00:43:34,720
that you might someday be mixing it
up with the big boys?
640
00:43:34,720 --> 00:43:37,222
Well, Bob, I've always
been very competitive.
641
00:43:37,222 --> 00:43:39,224
Uh-huh.
And as you may or may not know,
642
00:43:39,224 --> 00:43:43,729
this is a sport which
requires good coordination
643
00:43:43,729 --> 00:43:46,732
and good reflexes, and I've always
been known as a fast leaver.
644
00:43:46,732 --> 00:43:48,734
Uh-huh.
That means I get off the line fast.
645
00:43:48,734 --> 00:43:51,737
Hey, don't get off the line
too fast with us, Shirley Muldowney.
646
00:43:51,737 --> 00:43:53,739
Hey, listen, I thought we
might get lucky and catch
647
00:43:53,739 --> 00:43:55,240
your so-called partner
in crime, Connie Kalitta,
648
00:43:55,741 --> 00:43:57,743
and get in a word
with him too, huh?
649
00:43:57,743 --> 00:44:00,245
Uh, no.
We all know that Shirley and Connie
650
00:44:00,245 --> 00:44:02,247
have a special relationship
on and off the track.
651
00:44:02,748 --> 00:44:03,699
What do you say, Shirley?
652
00:44:03,699 --> 00:44:05,250
No. Mr. Kalitta isn't here right now.
653
00:44:05,250 --> 00:44:06,752
Oh, he's not there. That's a shame.
654
00:44:06,752 --> 00:44:09,254
I wanted to ask him what kind
of special preparations
655
00:44:09,254 --> 00:44:12,758
he had to put the car through so that a
gal like you could handle it
656
00:44:12,758 --> 00:44:16,261
Look, Bob, if you think it's so easy
to handle one of these little cars,
657
00:44:16,762 --> 00:44:20,766
putting out 2500 horses at 250 miles
an hour and a force of 3 Gs,
658
00:44:20,766 --> 00:44:24,269
maybe you'd like to come down to the track,
give it a whirl sometime?
659
00:44:24,269 --> 00:44:25,771
Oh, no thanks, ma'am.
No thanks.
660
00:44:26,271 --> 00:44:27,773
I'm happy right behind this here microphone.
661
00:44:28,273 --> 00:44:31,560
Listen, Bob, I would like to say something
else at this time, if I might.
662
00:44:31,810 --> 00:44:33,395
Hey, it's all yours, sweetheart.
663
00:44:33,895 --> 00:44:36,898
It's all yours.
Take it away.
664
00:44:36,898 --> 00:44:39,401
Beginning next year,
665
00:44:39,401 --> 00:44:42,404
Connie Kalitta Flying Services
and Connie Kalitta
666
00:44:42,404 --> 00:44:45,907
will no longer be associated
in any way, shape or form,
667
00:44:45,907 --> 00:44:49,878
legally, professionally or otherwise,
with my racing team.
668
00:44:50,412 --> 00:44:53,915
Yes. From now on, Rahn Tobler
will be my crew chief,
669
00:44:53,915 --> 00:44:56,918
and he'll be working along
with John Muldowney, my son.
670
00:44:56,918 --> 00:44:58,920
Hey, I think we have a scoop here!
671
00:44:59,421 --> 00:45:03,425
Wow! Hey now, listen, Shirley, you've
got backers or sponsors,
672
00:45:03,425 --> 00:45:04,926
you know, you people have
those things, right?
673
00:45:05,427 --> 00:45:06,928
Do they know what's
coming down here?
674
00:45:06,928 --> 00:45:09,931
Oh, yes. They are being
made aware of our position.
675
00:45:09,931 --> 00:45:11,933
Hey. Well, good luck, Shirley.
676
00:45:11,933 --> 00:45:14,436
You sound like one lady who knows
her way around a track.
677
00:45:14,936 --> 00:45:18,440
But just one last question. When you
look back over your whole career,
678
00:45:18,940 --> 00:45:20,942
do you have any regrets?
679
00:45:20,942 --> 00:45:22,444
Yes, I do, but only one.
680
00:45:22,444 --> 00:45:24,946
That my father couldn't live
to see me be champion.
681
00:45:24,946 --> 00:45:26,948
Hey, that's great.
682
00:45:26,948 --> 00:45:29,451
Thank you, Shirley Muldowney,
and a Merry Christmas to you!
683
00:45:29,451 --> 00:45:31,453
Yes, well, Merry Christmas
to all my fans.
684
00:45:31,453 --> 00:45:33,455
Oh, they love you, Shirley.
685
00:45:33,455 --> 00:45:35,957
Hey, we'll take your calls in a minute,
right after this commercial.
686
00:45:35,957 --> 00:45:37,459
Shirley, thanks, that was pretty good.

What do you think you're doing?
692
00:46:10,492 --> 00:46:12,544
We ain't got nothing
to do with each other,
693
00:46:12,544 --> 00:46:14,079
legally, professionally,
or any other way.
694
00:46:14,079 --> 00:46:16,081
Isn't that what you said?
I'm takin' my tools back.
695
00:46:16,581 --> 00:46:17,582
What are you gonna do with 'em?
696
00:46:18,083 --> 00:46:19,584
I'll tell you what I'm gonna do.
697
00:46:19,584 --> 00:46:20,585
I'm gonna get my license back
698
00:46:21,052 --> 00:46:23,588
and I'm gonna build me
one hot mother of a car
699
00:46:23,588 --> 00:46:27,058
that's got more horsepower in it
than anything you've ever seen.
700
00:46:27,058 --> 00:46:30,595
Then I'm gonna kick your ass
across every track there is.
701

702
00:46:32,013 --> 00:46:34,599
Me!
703
00:46:34,599 --> 00:46:37,018
Shirley, you're a great chauffeur,
but that just doesn't get it done.
704
00:46:37,519 --> 00:46:38,520
Shit.
705
00:46:38,904 --> 00:46:40,438
If it wasn't for me,
you'd still be getting
706
00:46:40,989 --> 00:46:43,491
those damn speeding tickets in that
chicken-shit town I got you out of.
707
00:46:43,491 --> 00:46:45,327
Why don't you give birth to me, too?
708
00:46:45,577 --> 00:46:47,445
Gimme a break. You gonna
take credit for everything?
709
00:46:47,662 --> 00:46:48,747
Just fine by me, baby.
710
00:46:48,747 --> 00:46:50,749
You got what you wanted.
I made you famous.
711
00:46:50,749 --> 00:46:52,751
Now I'm supposed to eat shit, right?
Is that it?
712
00:46:53,168 --> 00:46:55,253
You're breakin' my heart.
Why don't you cry about it
713

to one of those little chickies
you've been screwing?
714
00:46:57,289 --> 00:46:59,374
Little miss virtue.
715
00:46:59,374 --> 00:47:01,376
When your almighty
career was at stake,
716
00:47:01,376 --> 00:47:02,794
you were just that quick
717
00:47:03,094 --> 00:47:05,046
to dump Jack and jump into my bed.
Don't hit me.
718
00:47:05,513 --> 00:47:06,548
Mom?
719
00:47:09,935 --> 00:47:12,971
God damn it, you lunk,
let go of my Mom!
720
00:47:12,971 --> 00:47:14,639
Get back--
721
00:47:18,143 --> 00:47:19,027
God!
722
00:47:23,231 --> 00:47:25,066
Ugh!
723
00:47:40,248 --> 00:47:41,716
Ugh!

[door closes]
731
00:48:47,482 --> 00:48:49,985
[Announcer]
It's almost time, here at O.C.I.R.,
732
00:48:49,985 --> 00:48:51,486
for the final in top fuel,
733
00:48:51,486 --> 00:48:53,488
pitting the Pink Dregs
with Shirley Muldowney
734
00:48:53,488 --> 00:48:56,324
against the red and gold
Bounty Hunter of Connie Kalitta.
735
00:48:56,574 --> 00:48:59,160
It's been three long years since
their well-publicized breakup,
736
00:48:59,160 --> 00:49:02,630
three years that must've seemed a
hopeless eternity for Shirley Muldowney.
737
00:49:02,998 --> 00:49:05,500
After being shut out of
the winner's circle in '78,
738
00:49:05,800 --> 00:49:08,386
achieving only limited
success in '79,
739
00:49:08,386 --> 00:49:10,388
Shirley has had
a big year in '80,
740
00:49:10,388 --> 00:49:12,841
winning the Winter Nationals,
the Spring Nationals,
741
00:49:12,841 --> 00:49:14,392
and the Fall Nationals in Seattle.
742
00:49:14,893 --> 00:49:17,395
If she takes the crown here,
Shirley will forever silence
Oh, shit.
743
00:49:17,896 --> 00:49:22,150
all those critics who still think it
takes a man to race a car.
744
00:49:25,770 --> 00:49:26,771
Hey, kid,
745
00:49:27,105 --> 00:49:29,441
maybe you need some help
from a professional.
746
00:49:29,657 --> 00:49:31,743
Hey, a little nervous over there?
747
00:49:31,743 --> 00:49:34,946
[laughs]
748
00:50:02,023 --> 00:50:02,941

[audience cheering]
750
00:50:42,063 --> 00:50:45,733
[Announcer]
This may well be the most
exciting top fuel final
751
00:50:46,017 --> 00:50:48,853
in the history of this sport.
Shirley racing Connie.
752
00:50:49,354 --> 00:50:51,689
For Shirley, it's a miracle
she's here at all.
753
00:50:51,689 --> 00:50:54,159
Three years ago, when these two
broke up, the racing world said,
754
00:50:54,526 --> 00:50:58,613
"The lady is done. Without
Kalitta, she can't make it."
755
00:50:58,613 --> 00:51:00,949
But in three short years,
with very little sponsorship,
756
00:51:01,199 --> 00:51:04,869
hardly any money at all, a very young,
seemingly inexperienced crew,
757
00:51:05,170 --> 00:51:08,673
Shirley Muldowney is back and has
a chance right now to win
758
00:51:09,007 --> 00:51:11,376
an unprecedented second
top fuel world title.
759
00:51:11,376 --> 00:51:12,760
Ironic, isn't it?
760
00:51:13,044 --> 00:51:15,930
Who should stand in her way?
Connie "The Bounty Hunter" Kalitta.
761
00:51:20,518 --> 00:51:23,021
For Shirley, there's
a world title at stake.
762
00:51:23,021 --> 00:51:25,523
For Kalitta, it's pride.
He doesn't need the money.
763
00:51:25,523 --> 00:51:28,026
He hasn't been in a final
round in many, many years.
764
00:51:28,443 --> 00:51:31,479
This is the first time that he and
Shirley have ever raced each other
765
00:51:31,896 --> 00:51:33,281
side by side.
766
00:51:33,481 --> 00:51:35,567
All those arguments
as to who would be best
767
00:51:35,567 --> 00:51:38,153
will be settled right now.
768
00:51:38,403 --> 00:51:41,489
[Announcer, on TV]
Shirley has made it
in a man's game.
769
00:51:41,873 --> 00:51:43,458
They don't consider
her a woman now,
770
00:51:43,458 --> 00:51:44,876
just another competitor.
771
00:52:06,064 --> 00:52:06,648
It's Shirley!
772
00:52:07,065 --> 00:52:08,066

it's the first major victory--

00:52:36,294 --> 00:52:37,295
Whoo!

Yeah.

00:53:01,903 --> 00:53:03,821
Not bad. You oughta
do this for a living.

Oh, yeah?
Smoked your ass.
788

You had a good teacher, didn't you?

00:53:20,338 --> 00:53:22,840
I'm gonna get you next year.
790
00:53:22,840 --> 00:53:23,808
I'm not goin' anywhere.
791
00:53:24,225 --> 00:53:25,810
I'll be here.

Whoo-wee!
793
00:53:27,145 --> 00:53:28,229
Number one!
Whoo!
794
00:53:28,229 --> 00:53:30,181
[Reporter]
Shirley, it was a really terrific run.
795
00:53:30,515 --> 00:53:32,984
It's a thrill for all of us to watch you.
796
00:53:33,268 --> 00:53:35,270
Not bad for an old broad
in a used car, huh?
797
