Carl Henry : [checking a destroyed race car] The old Joe Tanto had a couple of attributes you should hold on to. Wasn't long ago you would've said: "There but for the grace of God, it's not me." Quietly taking your place in the pack. Where is that guy? Where has he gone?
Joe Tanto : Who cares?
Carl Henry : I do. I miss him. You're the first to know I'm terminating the kid's contract.
Joe Tanto : [worried] Why?
Carl Henry : I don't think he's the real deal. I don't think he's mentally tough enough. I don't think he's adult enough! Gets out of a car in a race.
Joe Tanto : Saved a man's life.
Carl Henry : [angry] I'm not here to debate! I'm gonna go for Brandenburg. Next year.
Joe Tanto : What are you doing?
Carl Henry : Whatever it takes to win.
Joe Tanto : His brother know?
Carl Henry : He's brokering the deal.
Joe Tanto : Don't do this.
Carl Henry : It's done!
Joe Tanto : Then undo it.
Carl Henry : [surprised] You suddenly care.
Joe Tanto : Don't kill him off!
Carl Henry : [furious] Don't kill him off? I watched you kill yourself! You had everything, and you threw it all away! And l had to sit there and watch! The slowest man in the fastest sport. I wake up every morning, my legs are on fire. I know I'm gonna have to sit in this chair for the rest of the day. But if they gave me one more chance, I'd do it all over again.
Joe Tanto : [sad] It ain't gonna happen.
Carl Henry : We are all damaged. I've got an excuse. You don't. Do you?
