1
00:00:01,627 --> 00:00:03,629
Ooh! Watch it.
2
00:00:04,463 --> 00:00:05,631
Be careful.
3
00:00:07,341 --> 00:00:09,301
I bet I know what
you're thinkin'. Uh-huh.
4
00:00:09,343 --> 00:00:11,929
There must be an
easier way. Well, there is,
5
00:00:11,970 --> 00:00:15,265
but it might shake
you up a bit. What?
6
00:00:15,307 --> 00:00:17,935
Here we go.
All set, Johnny.
7
00:00:17,976 --> 00:00:20,103
I sure appreciate this,
Mrs. Stephens.
8
00:00:20,145 --> 00:00:24,191
If it weren't for you, I'd have no other
way to get down to the track and practice.
9
00:00:24,233 --> 00:00:26,109
I'm more than happy
to help, Johnny,
10
00:00:26,109 --> 00:00:28,570
but I still don't see
the point of practicing
11
00:00:28,612 --> 00:00:30,614
for a race you don't think
you'll be able to enter.
12
00:00:30,656 --> 00:00:34,659
I guess it's just my nutty
way of hoping against hope.
13
00:00:45,671 --> 00:00:47,673
All right. Stand back.
14
00:00:47,714 --> 00:00:50,133
Oh, hi, Mrs. Kravitz.
What are you doing here?
15
00:00:50,175 --> 00:00:54,596
Me? I only happen to be
the aunt of Flash Kravitz,
16
00:00:54,638 --> 00:00:56,640
the fastest
Soap Box Derby racer
17
00:00:56,682 --> 00:00:59,351
in the future history
of Soap Box Derby racing.
18
00:00:59,393 --> 00:01:01,436
Really?
That's wonderful.
19
00:01:01,478 --> 00:01:04,313
Hmm. He's staying with us
until he wins the local races,
20
00:01:04,356 --> 00:01:06,733
and then naturally, he's
going on to win at Akron.
21
00:01:06,775 --> 00:01:08,151
Naturally.
22
00:01:08,193 --> 00:01:09,486
What are you
doing here?
23
00:01:09,528 --> 00:01:12,030
Oh, I came with my friend,
Johnny Mills.
24
00:01:13,657 --> 00:01:18,370
Well, uh, if you don't mind,
Mrs. Stephens,
25
00:01:18,412 --> 00:01:22,833
I, uh, wish you wouldn't
look at Flash.
26
00:01:22,874 --> 00:01:26,253
Mrs. Kravitz, I'm afraid I
don't know what you mean.
27
00:01:26,295 --> 00:01:28,630
Let's just say
I'm superstitious,
28
00:01:28,672 --> 00:01:32,676
which, incidentally, I
never was, until I met you.
29
00:01:34,678 --> 00:01:38,015
Beat it, kid. I'm Class "A,"
and this is a time trial.
30
00:01:38,056 --> 00:01:39,600
I'm racin'
against the clock.
31
00:01:39,641 --> 00:01:41,602
Well, it won't hurt anything
if I race with you, will it?
32
00:01:41,643 --> 00:01:44,938
In that pile of junk?
Don't make me laugh.
33
00:01:44,980 --> 00:01:47,357
The Gray Goose may not be
painted as fancy as yours,
34
00:01:47,399 --> 00:01:50,944
but I'll bet I'll beat you to the
finish line. Not if you had jet engines.
35
00:01:50,986 --> 00:01:55,449
Now, go back on your skateboard,
kid. I don't race with amateurs.
36
00:01:56,450 --> 00:01:57,659
Flash!
37
00:01:58,160 --> 00:01:59,620
Wait!
38
00:02:02,414 --> 00:02:04,499
You're not gonna
let him race with you?
39
00:02:04,499 --> 00:02:07,836
Well, if he wants to end up eating
my dust, that's his hang-up.
40
00:02:07,878 --> 00:02:09,671
It certainly is.
41
00:02:10,547 --> 00:02:12,716
Ready, set,
42
00:02:13,467 --> 00:02:14,593
go!
43
00:02:43,872 --> 00:02:45,916
Come on, Flash!
44
00:02:45,957 --> 00:02:49,461
Get your weight forward.
Come on!
45
00:03:45,892 --> 00:03:50,647
So as Johnny and I drove home, that's when
he asked me if I could keep the racer.
46
00:03:50,689 --> 00:03:53,650
Well, why can't he keep it at
home? Where's he been keeping it?
47
00:03:53,692 --> 00:03:56,695
That's what I wanted to know,
but I didn't find out much.
48
00:03:56,737 --> 00:03:59,406
All I know is there's just
the boy and his father.
49
00:03:59,448 --> 00:04:01,199
He's the garage man.
50
00:04:01,199 --> 00:04:03,160
You know Mills
Auto Service? Yeah.
51
00:04:03,201 --> 00:04:06,997
Well, for some reason, Johnny doesn't
want his father to know about the racer.
52
00:04:07,038 --> 00:04:08,957
That doesn't make any sense.
53
00:04:08,999 --> 00:04:11,835
Who'd be more interested in his own
kid's racing car than a garage mechanic?
54
00:04:11,877 --> 00:04:14,796
Mmm. You figure it out. I
don't want to figure it out.
55
00:04:14,838 --> 00:04:17,591
I don't want to get involved, and
I don't want you involved either.
56
00:04:18,216 --> 00:04:19,801
I'm not involved.
57
00:04:19,843 --> 00:04:22,763
Sam, you're helping a 12-year-old
boy deceive his father.
58
00:04:22,803 --> 00:04:24,723
You don't call that
being involved?
59
00:04:24,765 --> 00:04:27,434
Darrin, did you tell your father
everything when you were 12?
60
00:04:27,476 --> 00:04:31,271
We're not talking about me, and it's
been a long time since I was 12.
61
00:04:31,313 --> 00:04:33,523
Want to lick the spoon?
It's chocolate.
62
00:04:33,565 --> 00:04:36,026
Oh, yeah.
I love your chocolate.
63
00:04:38,069 --> 00:04:40,029
Sam, that's not fair.
64
00:04:40,029 --> 00:04:44,534
Well, neither is sitting in judgment on a
boy when you don't know the whole story.
65
00:04:44,576 --> 00:04:46,995
Say, have I heard the
whole story? Hmm?
66
00:04:47,037 --> 00:04:49,706
Uh, you didn't interfere when
the boys were racing, did you?
67
00:04:49,748 --> 00:04:52,334
I, I told you,
they were only practicing.
68
00:04:52,375 --> 00:04:55,879
But you didn't tell me,
did you interfere?
69
00:04:55,921 --> 00:05:00,217
Well, if you could call straightening
a wobbly wheel interfering,
70
00:05:00,258 --> 00:05:02,177
I could.
71
00:05:02,219 --> 00:05:05,347
That must be Johnny. He said he'd be back.
Sweetheart, would you answer the door?
72
00:05:05,388 --> 00:05:07,557
We'll continue
this discussion later.
73
00:05:08,517 --> 00:05:10,351
Not if I can help it.
74
00:05:14,397 --> 00:05:16,565
Mr. Stephens?
You must be Johnny.
75
00:05:16,608 --> 00:05:19,736
Yes, sir. I came
to work on my racer.
76
00:05:19,778 --> 00:05:22,572
I've got a wheel problem.
Uh, so I've heard.
77
00:05:22,613 --> 00:05:25,325
Uh, come inside a minute,
son. I'd like to talk to you.
78
00:05:27,244 --> 00:05:29,496
Sam! We have a guest.
79
00:05:30,789 --> 00:05:32,833
Hi, Johnny.
Hi, Mrs. Stephens.
80
00:05:32,874 --> 00:05:35,877
Thanks a lot for keeping my car in
your garage. I was happy to do it.
81
00:05:35,919 --> 00:05:37,796
Sit down, Johnny.
Look what I just made.
82
00:05:37,838 --> 00:05:40,589
You think a little piece would
spoil your dinner? I could risk it.
83
00:05:42,884 --> 00:05:45,887
Johnny, why don't you want your
father to know about the racer?
84
00:05:45,928 --> 00:05:49,850
Oh, lots of reasons, none of
them really very interesting.
85
00:05:49,850 --> 00:05:52,853
Why don't you let us decide
that for ourselves, huh?
86
00:05:52,894 --> 00:05:56,773
Well, Dad doesn't know
I built the racer.
87
00:05:56,815 --> 00:05:58,775
Tommy Summers let me
build it in his garage,
88
00:05:58,817 --> 00:06:01,194
but it was taking up
too much room.
89
00:06:01,236 --> 00:06:03,071
That's why
I had to ask you.
90
00:06:03,113 --> 00:06:06,366
Why keep the racer a secret? Your dad's
a mechanic. He could've helped you.
91
00:06:06,408 --> 00:06:11,830
Uh-uh. The Soap Box Derby rule says
you gotta build it all by yourself.
92
00:06:11,830 --> 00:06:14,165
And anyway,
you don't know my dad.
93
00:06:14,207 --> 00:06:15,750
He'd have thrown a fit.
94
00:06:15,750 --> 00:06:17,168
Why?
95
00:06:18,169 --> 00:06:20,088
Well, because,
96
00:06:23,300 --> 00:06:25,844
Look.
My dad's a great guy,
97
00:06:25,886 --> 00:06:28,178
about the greatest
there is,
98
00:06:28,178 --> 00:06:32,225
but he's got this thing
about me becoming a doctor.
99
00:06:32,267 --> 00:06:35,353
What's building a racer got
to do with becoming a doctor?
100
00:06:35,395 --> 00:06:39,524
With my dad, just about everything's got
something to do with becoming a doctor.
101
00:06:39,565 --> 00:06:41,443
You want to be a doctor?
102
00:06:41,484 --> 00:06:44,529
Sure. I, I guess so,
103
00:06:44,529 --> 00:06:46,406
if it'll make Dad happy.
104
00:06:47,699 --> 00:06:50,702
Mrs. Stephens,
I gotta go.
105
00:06:50,744 --> 00:06:54,080
Thanks for the cake, and
thanks again for keeping my car.
106
00:06:54,122 --> 00:06:56,166
Uh, Johnny,
wait a minute.
107
00:06:57,500 --> 00:06:59,252
What are you going to...
Good luck, Johnny.
108
00:06:59,294 --> 00:07:02,255
We hope you win the Soap
Box Derby and become a doctor.
109
00:07:02,297 --> 00:07:03,798
Thanks.
110
00:07:05,008 --> 00:07:06,593
Mrs. Stephens?
111
00:07:06,635 --> 00:07:08,595
I got one other problem.
112
00:07:12,223 --> 00:07:16,061
Okay. You see, they won't
let me race in the derby
113
00:07:16,102 --> 00:07:19,564
unless my parent or
guardian signs the application.
114
00:07:19,606 --> 00:07:21,441
Well, Johnny,
we can't sign it for you.
115
00:07:21,483 --> 00:07:25,111
Oh, I know that.
That'd be illegal.
116
00:07:25,153 --> 00:07:28,365
Anyway, I was going
to ask my dad to sign it
117
00:07:28,406 --> 00:07:30,575
after I got the racer
all built.
118
00:07:31,409 --> 00:07:33,620
Well, the race is
on Saturday,
119
00:07:33,662 --> 00:07:35,872
and I'm kind of scared
to ask him.
120
00:07:39,376 --> 00:07:41,544
Would you?
121
00:07:41,586 --> 00:07:43,463
I'll bet he'd have a tough
time saying no to you.
122
00:07:43,505 --> 00:07:48,635
Speaking from experience, Yeah,
I'd be willing to give it a try.
123
00:07:49,928 --> 00:07:53,306
Mr. Mills,
don't you understand?
124
00:07:53,348 --> 00:07:56,559
If you don't sign this,
Johnny won't be able to race.
125
00:07:56,601 --> 00:08:00,814
That lousy bolt's frozen. He's
got a very good chance of winning.
126
00:08:00,855 --> 00:08:03,733
And if I don't fix this buggy
by 8:00,
127
00:08:03,775 --> 00:08:08,154
I've got a very good chance of getting the
riot act from the guy that owns this car.
128
00:08:08,196 --> 00:08:13,910
Mr. Mills, haven't you got just five
minutes to stand up and talk to me?
129
00:08:13,952 --> 00:08:17,664
Look, Mrs. Stephens, you're a very
nice lady and a very good customer,
130
00:08:17,706 --> 00:08:21,001
and I appreciate your
business, but my son is my son.
131
00:08:21,001 --> 00:08:22,127
All right?
132
00:08:22,168 --> 00:08:23,920
Yes, I know.
133
00:08:23,962 --> 00:08:26,965
The only reason I am asking is
because your son is afraid to ask.
134
00:08:29,217 --> 00:08:32,554
How about people? They
see a kid without a mother,
135
00:08:32,595 --> 00:08:36,766
and right away they figure they
got a right to stick their nose in.
136
00:08:36,808 --> 00:08:39,394
And I told you, I gotta get
finished with this car.
137
00:08:39,436 --> 00:08:42,230
Is that more important
than Johnny?
138
00:08:42,272 --> 00:08:45,900
Look, do you think I like working
14 hours a day, seven days a week?
139
00:08:45,942 --> 00:08:47,652
You got any idea
how much it costs
140
00:08:47,694 --> 00:08:50,572
to send a kid through college
and then medical school?
141
00:08:50,613 --> 00:08:54,242
Yes. Yes, I know
it's very expensive,
142
00:08:54,284 --> 00:08:59,664
but did you realize that the Soap Box
Derby finalists win college scholarships?
143
00:09:00,540 --> 00:09:02,333
Oh, well, that's terrific.
144
00:09:02,375 --> 00:09:05,754
Now if I figured like that, I'd take
all the profits from this garage,
145
00:09:05,795 --> 00:09:08,256
and I'd try to win
his tuition in a crap game.
146
00:09:08,298 --> 00:09:10,467
You'd get about the same odds.
147
00:09:10,508 --> 00:09:14,471
Mr. Mills, Johnny's racer
is already built.
148
00:09:14,511 --> 00:09:17,474
Now he'd only have to take one
afternoon off from his studies.
149
00:09:17,515 --> 00:09:20,059
Surely he can
spare that.
150
00:09:20,059 --> 00:09:24,022
Ah, this
thing won't budge.
151
00:09:28,234 --> 00:09:29,611
It come loose.
152
00:09:30,361 --> 00:09:31,988
Mr. Mills, please?
153
00:09:32,655 --> 00:09:34,699
Huh?
Please?
154
00:09:36,743 --> 00:09:38,620
All right. All right.
155
00:09:40,497 --> 00:09:43,917
Now you will give him a little
encouragement? He thinks a lot of you.
156
00:09:44,626 --> 00:09:46,086
Yeah, that's his trouble.
157
00:09:46,127 --> 00:09:49,672
He thinks too much of
a $150-a-week grease monkey.
158
00:09:49,714 --> 00:09:51,966
Will you come watch him
race on Saturday?
159
00:09:53,760 --> 00:09:55,804
Boy, give 'em an inch.
160
00:09:55,845 --> 00:09:58,640
Lady, on Saturdays, I,
I'm up to my ears in work.
161
00:09:58,681 --> 00:10:02,559
You got so much free time?
You go watch him race.
162
00:10:03,436 --> 00:10:06,231
All right. I will.
163
00:10:30,088 --> 00:10:32,465
Mission accomplished.
Mmm.
164
00:10:32,506 --> 00:10:34,926
Johnny, you got time
to put these on?
165
00:10:34,968 --> 00:10:37,720
Hey! Brand-new
regulation wheels!
166
00:10:37,761 --> 00:10:39,973
Now I can pass
inspection.
167
00:10:40,014 --> 00:10:42,100
Thanks, Mr. Stephens.
It's okay, Johnny.
168
00:10:42,100 --> 00:10:44,059
You too, Mrs. Stephens.
Glad to do it.
169
00:10:44,102 --> 00:10:47,230
You better hurry up. You haven't
got much time before the first race.
170
00:10:47,272 --> 00:10:48,982
Right!
171
00:10:49,023 --> 00:10:52,485
Look who didn't want to get
involved. Come here. Hmm?
172
00:10:52,527 --> 00:10:54,654
Come on. There are kids
around here.
173
00:10:54,696 --> 00:10:56,739
[Samantha] Yeah. Too bad, huh?
174
00:10:56,780 --> 00:10:58,825
You better get
those wheels on, Johnny.
175
00:10:58,867 --> 00:11:00,410
We'll be rooting
for you.
176
00:11:00,451 --> 00:11:03,121
Thanks. Thanks a lot.
177
00:11:03,121 --> 00:11:06,833
Mrs. Stephens, you will
watch for my dad, won't you?
178
00:11:06,875 --> 00:11:09,085
I mean,
in case he does come.
179
00:11:09,127 --> 00:11:11,171
Contestants for
the next heat, Oh sure, Johnny.
180
00:11:11,212 --> 00:11:16,593
Are Jim Kleinman,
Johnny Mills, Don Bellow.
181
00:11:19,721 --> 00:11:21,890
Ooh, come on, Johnny.
Come on, Johnny.
182
00:11:21,890 --> 00:11:24,017
Come on! Faster!
Come on, Johnny!
183
00:11:29,147 --> 00:11:33,359
Oh, come on, Johnny.
Faster! Come on, Johnny!
184
00:11:38,239 --> 00:11:42,076
Ooh! There he goes. There
he goes. There he goes!
185
00:11:44,537 --> 00:11:46,331
He won!
186
00:11:47,707 --> 00:11:51,211
The winner in Class "B",
Johnny Mills.
187
00:11:51,211 --> 00:11:53,379
He won!
I make it 28.7 seconds.
188
00:11:53,421 --> 00:11:55,340
Contestants for the next heat,
189
00:11:55,381 --> 00:11:57,884
are George Cooper, Frank
Healey, I knew he could do it!
190
00:11:57,926 --> 00:11:59,344
Leroy Kravitz.
That-a-boy, Johnny!
191
00:12:12,690 --> 00:12:14,359
Oh.
192
00:12:20,823 --> 00:12:25,035
Oh, there, there, Oh.
Figured.
193
00:12:28,873 --> 00:12:31,833
And the winner in Class "A"
is Leroy Kravitz.
194
00:12:31,876 --> 00:12:35,880
Uh-oh. Uh-oh. It looks like he and
Johnny will be racing each other.
195
00:12:35,922 --> 00:12:38,675
I'm afraid so.
196
00:12:38,716 --> 00:12:41,844
The finals! Abner!
197
00:12:41,886 --> 00:12:45,181
Oh, Flash is gonna be
in the finals!
198
00:12:45,223 --> 00:12:47,558
In that case,
I'll have another hot dog.
199
00:12:52,939 --> 00:12:55,066
The bases are loaded again!
200
00:12:56,401 --> 00:12:58,194
Ladies and gentlemen,
201
00:12:58,236 --> 00:13:02,030
the drivers in this final
championship heat
202
00:13:02,073 --> 00:13:04,617
of the local
Soap Box Derby
203
00:13:04,659 --> 00:13:06,869
are Johnny Mills
and Leroy Kravitz.
204
00:13:06,910 --> 00:13:09,747
Drivers
to the starting line.
205
00:13:09,789 --> 00:13:13,793
Ooh. Remember now to let him
do it on his own. No funny help.
206
00:13:13,835 --> 00:13:15,545
Why, Darrin, do you think
I'd stoop to,
207
00:13:15,586 --> 00:13:18,506
No, but you might get
excited and lose control. Okay.
208
00:13:26,222 --> 00:13:28,391
Oh, they blew it.
Uh, who?
209
00:13:28,433 --> 00:13:30,268
Who, Who else?
The Mets!
210
00:13:33,730 --> 00:13:36,107
Ooh! Come on, Johnny!
211
00:13:36,149 --> 00:13:38,234
Let's go, Johnny. Come
on, Johnny. Come on!
212
00:13:38,276 --> 00:13:41,529
Oh, faster. Faster, Johnny! Stay back,
Flash. Flash, stay back. Oh! Ooh!
213
00:13:53,333 --> 00:13:56,461
Come on, Johnny. Come on.
Oh, he may make it! Come on.
214
00:13:56,502 --> 00:13:58,921
Oh, come on, Johnny. Faster!
Remember, on his own. On his own.
215
00:13:58,963 --> 00:14:01,256
Oh, I promise. Witch's honor.
Come on, Johnny!
216
00:14:01,299 --> 00:14:02,467
Johnny!
217
00:14:09,223 --> 00:14:11,559
Mmm. Go, Johnny!
Go on! Go, go, Johnny!
218
00:14:11,601 --> 00:14:13,895
Faster! Faster! There you
go, Johnny! You'll make it!
219
00:14:17,231 --> 00:14:20,777
Come on, Johnny.
He won!
220
00:14:20,818 --> 00:14:25,365
♪ Oh, hi,
Johnny. Oh, he won. He won ♪
221
00:14:30,036 --> 00:14:33,664
The winner and this
year's champion is Johnny Mills.
222
00:14:33,706 --> 00:14:36,834
See, I told you they were
doing something funny.
223
00:14:36,876 --> 00:14:38,961
Okay, so why don't you
do something funny,
224
00:14:39,003 --> 00:14:41,297
like mind your own business
for a change?
225
00:14:41,339 --> 00:14:46,511
This is my business, and I think
it needs further investigation.
226
00:14:58,564 --> 00:15:00,566
Congratulations, Johnny.
227
00:15:00,608 --> 00:15:03,653
Now I can say that I know a
local Soap Box Derby champion.
228
00:15:03,694 --> 00:15:07,657
Congratulations, champ. Say, you gave
us a bad moment in that last heat.
229
00:15:07,698 --> 00:15:11,744
Attention,
ladies and gentlemen.
230
00:15:11,786 --> 00:15:15,331
There'll be a delay before
the presentation of the trophy.
231
00:15:15,373 --> 00:15:17,458
Will Johnny Mills
and his parents
232
00:15:17,500 --> 00:15:20,837
please report to the Soap Box
Derby headquarters immediately?
233
00:15:20,878 --> 00:15:22,797
I wonder what
that's all about.
234
00:15:22,839 --> 00:15:27,927
Hello, Johnny. I'm Mr. Martin
of the derby rules committee.
235
00:15:27,969 --> 00:15:29,595
Are you Mr.
and Mrs. Mills?
236
00:15:29,637 --> 00:15:33,433
Uh, no, we're just friends.
Is there anything the matter?
237
00:15:33,474 --> 00:15:36,185
Well, we've had a rather
strange complaint
238
00:15:36,227 --> 00:15:38,688
from
a Mrs. Gladys Kravitz.
239
00:15:39,397 --> 00:15:41,065
Do you know her?
240
00:15:42,024 --> 00:15:44,861
Well, she's,
241
00:15:44,902 --> 00:15:47,196
I don't like
to say this, weird.
242
00:15:47,238 --> 00:15:50,032
[Martin] She is, isn't she?
243
00:15:50,074 --> 00:15:51,909
And most difficult
to cope with.
244
00:15:51,909 --> 00:15:56,831
She has insisted that Johnny here got
illegal help in winning this race.
245
00:15:56,873 --> 00:16:01,085
And of course we've got to clear this thing
up before we can declare him the winner.
246
00:16:01,127 --> 00:16:03,754
I built the car
all by myself. Honest!
247
00:16:03,796 --> 00:16:07,842
I'm sure you did, son, and
I'm sure you can prove it.
248
00:16:07,884 --> 00:16:10,511
Now where are your parents?
249
00:16:10,553 --> 00:16:14,223
Your father did sign the
entry application? Yes, sir.
250
00:16:14,265 --> 00:16:17,852
What, uh, What's the nature
of the charges?
251
00:16:17,894 --> 00:16:21,063
They, like Mrs. Kravitz,
are also weird,
252
00:16:21,105 --> 00:16:23,191
but we're gonna have
a little informal hearing
253
00:16:23,232 --> 00:16:25,443
as soon as we can
round up all the judges.
254
00:16:25,485 --> 00:16:27,487
Now where is
your father, Johnny?
255
00:16:27,528 --> 00:16:30,406
Well, Mr. Mills was
delayed. He got sick.
256
00:16:30,448 --> 00:16:32,450
He really wanted to come,
but he got sick.
257
00:16:32,492 --> 00:16:35,703
Well, he should be here
to help answer the charges.
258
00:16:35,745 --> 00:16:38,789
Darrin, why don't you go along
with Mr. Martin and Johnny?
259
00:16:38,831 --> 00:16:43,669
I'll phone Mr. Mills and see if he's
feeling better. Don't you worry.
260
00:16:43,711 --> 00:16:45,171
Come along with me.
261
00:16:45,755 --> 00:16:47,340
Come on, Johnny.
262
00:16:58,809 --> 00:17:02,104
Mr. Mills, Johnny needs you.
263
00:17:02,146 --> 00:17:04,273
Johnny never cheated
on anything in his life.
264
00:17:04,315 --> 00:17:06,609
Let him tell the judges that.
They'll believe him.
265
00:17:06,651 --> 00:17:08,236
Well, why should they,
266
00:17:08,277 --> 00:17:11,614
when his own father won't take the
time to come down and stand up for him?
267
00:17:11,656 --> 00:17:13,449
Well, what can I do?
268
00:17:13,449 --> 00:17:15,409
Look, I know
it's tough on the kid,
269
00:17:15,409 --> 00:17:18,704
but there are more important
things than Soap Box Derbies.
270
00:17:18,746 --> 00:17:20,289
Yeah, I agree,
271
00:17:20,289 --> 00:17:22,250
like a boy who has to say
his father's sick
272
00:17:22,250 --> 00:17:25,795
because he's too ashamed to admit he
isn't interested enough to go to the race.
273
00:17:31,092 --> 00:17:34,971
He gets a roof over his head
and three meals a day
274
00:17:35,012 --> 00:17:41,185
and a chance to go to college so that he
won't have to pump gas for 12 hours a day.
275
00:17:41,227 --> 00:17:43,311
If that ain't good enough,
that's just too bad.
276
00:17:43,354 --> 00:17:45,815
Oh, please, Mr. Mills.
It'll only take an hour.
277
00:17:45,856 --> 00:17:50,570
Look, Mrs. Stephens. I got three
tires to fix on that one over there.
278
00:17:50,611 --> 00:17:52,655
I have to replace the
carburetor in that one
279
00:17:52,696 --> 00:17:55,491
and a complete brake
reline on that one back there,
280
00:17:55,532 --> 00:17:57,577
all before 6:00.
281
00:17:57,618 --> 00:18:00,162
If all those things were done,
could you come?
282
00:18:00,204 --> 00:18:03,874
How they gonna get done?
You got a magic wand?
283
00:18:05,334 --> 00:18:07,461
What's a carburetor
look like?
284
00:18:07,503 --> 00:18:09,672
Mrs. Stephens,
please go away.
285
00:18:09,714 --> 00:18:12,550
Is it that thing?
Yeah. Now go away.
286
00:18:12,550 --> 00:18:13,801
Okay.
287
00:18:53,883 --> 00:18:58,721
Mr. Mills, is that the car without
the tires? It seems to have 'em all.
288
00:19:00,138 --> 00:19:02,224
They was laying
on the ground.
289
00:19:02,266 --> 00:19:03,809
Isn't that a carburetor?
290
00:19:05,478 --> 00:19:08,689
Uh, Now nobody can hook up
one of them things that quick.
291
00:19:08,689 --> 00:19:12,484
Well, you must've done it this morning
and forgot. You've been awfully busy.
292
00:19:13,444 --> 00:19:15,780
Did I forget about
the brake reline too?
293
00:19:15,821 --> 00:19:17,156
I don't know.
294
00:19:18,199 --> 00:19:20,284
The heck with it.
Let's go, Mrs. Stephens.
295
00:19:28,292 --> 00:19:30,419
Oh, I, uh, I better
change my clothes.
296
00:19:30,461 --> 00:19:33,255
I can't go looking like a
bum. You look just fine.
297
00:19:33,297 --> 00:19:37,885
Besides, it's a hearing, not a formal
dinner party. Come on. Come on.
298
00:19:37,927 --> 00:19:42,473
Mrs. Kravitz, can you be
a little more specific?
299
00:19:42,515 --> 00:19:45,976
Exactly in what way did
Johnny here get illegal help?
300
00:19:46,018 --> 00:19:50,106
Well, you saw the way he
was behind in the last heat,
301
00:19:50,147 --> 00:19:53,442
and then he caught up...
like magic.
302
00:19:54,484 --> 00:19:57,446
And I don't use
the word loosely.
303
00:19:57,488 --> 00:20:00,282
How about not using
the word at all?
304
00:20:00,324 --> 00:20:04,619
Well, the same peculiar thing happened
when he was racing with my Flash,
305
00:20:04,619 --> 00:20:06,622
and they were just
practicing.
306
00:20:06,664 --> 00:20:10,459
What's so
peculiar about that?
307
00:20:10,501 --> 00:20:12,461
Drivers often
come from behind.
308
00:20:12,503 --> 00:20:16,840
Both times, Samantha
Stephens was there.
309
00:20:18,968 --> 00:20:22,054
Uh, that's my wife. Uh, she's
sort of been coaching Johnny.
310
00:20:22,096 --> 00:20:26,726
[Gladys laughs] She's been
doing more than just coaching.
311
00:20:26,767 --> 00:20:29,561
And she's always doing something
more than she should be doing
312
00:20:29,603 --> 00:20:31,480
when she should be
doing something.
313
00:20:33,691 --> 00:20:37,862
The things
I could tell you!
314
00:20:37,903 --> 00:20:39,739
The things
I could tell you.
315
00:20:41,407 --> 00:20:45,369
Johnny, did anyone
help you build your car?
316
00:20:45,744 --> 00:20:46,871
No, sir.
317
00:20:48,205 --> 00:20:50,499
Dad!
318
00:20:50,541 --> 00:20:52,626
It's okay, kid.
What'd they say you did?
319
00:20:52,667 --> 00:20:55,421
Mr. Mills,
won't you sit down?
320
00:20:59,717 --> 00:21:04,054
We're just trying to make sure that
Johnny built his racer himself.
321
00:21:04,096 --> 00:21:06,223
If he says he did,
he did.
322
00:21:06,265 --> 00:21:10,311
Look, I'm a mechanic. If he didn't ask me
for help, why would he ask anybody else?
323
00:21:10,311 --> 00:21:13,564
Now, please,
everybody sit down.
324
00:21:18,903 --> 00:21:24,575
Johnny, can you tell us how you
constructed the, uh, brake assembly?
325
00:21:24,617 --> 00:21:28,913
Yes, sir. I used the tools
at school, in woodshop.
326
00:21:28,954 --> 00:21:31,624
I built the car in my
friend Tommy's garage.
327
00:21:31,665 --> 00:21:33,751
We had a bunch of old tires
around the house,
328
00:21:33,751 --> 00:21:35,920
so I used a piece of them
for the braking surface.
329
00:21:35,920 --> 00:21:39,757
I attached the rod to the front
end plate with an eye bolt.
330
00:21:39,799 --> 00:21:44,053
Then for the rear housing, I used
regular door springs and some hinges.
331
00:21:44,094 --> 00:21:47,848
I had a little bit of trouble getting the
regulation three-inch ground clearance,
332
00:21:47,890 --> 00:21:51,602
but after I switched
the hinge, it was okay.
333
00:21:51,644 --> 00:21:55,105
Where did you learn all
that stuff? From you, Pop.
334
00:21:55,147 --> 00:21:56,982
You're the best mechanic
in town.
335
00:21:59,984 --> 00:22:01,320
Can I say something?
336
00:22:01,362 --> 00:22:03,364
Certainly, Mr. Mills.
337
00:22:03,405 --> 00:22:07,159
My kid never lied
about anything in his life,
338
00:22:07,201 --> 00:22:11,121
uh, except maybe today,
when he said that I was sick.
339
00:22:12,540 --> 00:22:14,083
I wasn't sick.
340
00:22:15,835 --> 00:22:17,086
I was stupid.
341
00:22:19,755 --> 00:22:21,757
Well, that's all
I wanted to say,
342
00:22:21,799 --> 00:22:26,262
but if you want to make out that my kid
didn't win 'cause he got help from somebody,
343
00:22:26,303 --> 00:22:28,638
you better be able
to prove it pretty good.
344
00:22:29,682 --> 00:22:31,600
Thank you, Mr. Mills.
345
00:22:41,068 --> 00:22:42,820
Congratulations, Johnny.
346
00:22:42,862 --> 00:22:48,157
I think we can give you your trophy
and your $500 bond right now.
347
00:22:48,200 --> 00:22:49,994
And we also want you
to know
348
00:22:50,035 --> 00:22:54,330
that we're very proud to have you
represent our city in the finals at Akron.
349
00:22:54,330 --> 00:22:55,833
Come on, Abner.
350
00:22:55,875 --> 00:22:58,502
We don't have to listen
to this. We're leaving.
351
00:23:00,462 --> 00:23:03,299
Are you going
with him to Akron?
352
00:23:03,340 --> 00:23:06,093
Why should she go with him?
I'm the kid's old man, ain't I?
353
00:23:11,640 --> 00:23:15,769
Look, lady. How about taking over the
station while me and the kid are out of town?
354
00:23:15,811 --> 00:23:20,482
When you show up, things have a
way of working... and working out.
355
00:23:20,523 --> 00:23:23,611
No, thank you, Mr. Mills.
I'm retiring.
356
00:23:23,652 --> 00:23:25,362
By special request.
357
00:23:30,659 --> 00:23:32,202
70,000 spectators
358
00:23:32,244 --> 00:23:34,413
crowded the stands of
Derby Downs in Akron, Ohio,
359
00:23:34,455 --> 00:23:37,499
Oh, darling, isn't it wonderful about
Johnny? I just can't believe it.
360
00:23:37,541 --> 00:23:41,378
It's fantastic. There were over
250 local champions competing.
361
00:23:41,420 --> 00:23:44,840
Yeah, well, he won the scholarship.
That's the important thing.
362
00:23:44,840 --> 00:23:47,509
No more problems about
college. His father won't have
363
00:23:47,509 --> 00:23:49,136
to worry about that now.
364
00:23:49,929 --> 00:23:51,221
There he is.
365
00:23:53,807 --> 00:23:55,851
This year's
winner was Johnny Mills.
366
00:23:55,893 --> 00:23:58,020
As the crowd cheered
the new champion,
367
00:23:58,061 --> 00:24:00,522
Johnny was paraded down the track
on which, only minutes before,
368
00:24:00,564 --> 00:24:04,109
he had beaten two other finalists
in the championship heat.
369
00:24:04,109 --> 00:24:06,195
Johnny qualified for
the All-American Derby
370
00:24:06,236 --> 00:24:09,740
by beating all other entrants in
the local trials of his community.
371
00:24:09,740 --> 00:24:12,660
At the finish line, Johnny
was joined by his father
372
00:24:12,701 --> 00:24:15,037
who shared
in the excitement.
373
00:24:15,079 --> 00:24:17,998
If anybody ever made
a boy's dreams come true,
374
00:24:20,250 --> 00:24:22,711
Well, thank you,
darling.
375
00:24:26,382 --> 00:24:29,843
You're pretty good at making
a man's dreams come true too.
