1. Vroom, vroom!
You're on the line.
Copy !req
2. You rev the mill,
and you get the light from the timer.
Copy !req
3. You're off, burning rubber.
Vroom!
Copy !req
4. You watch the tach.
You shift the box.
Copy !req
5. Two. Vroom. Three. Vroom. Four. Vroom.
Copy !req
6. You crack the eye,
and you dump your chute,
Copy !req
7. and it's a 177 with an 851 E.T.
Copy !req
8. Lily. Oh, Lily.
Copy !req
9. Yes?
Copy !req
10. Lily, I wish you'd keep
the front door closed.
Copy !req
11. Some strange boy just got in here
and is speaking some foreign language.
Copy !req
12. Herman, th-that's our son, Eddie.
Copy !req
13. Yeah, Pop.
I'm just getting you into the mood
for the drag strip this Saturday.
Copy !req
14. - "Drag strip"?
- Sure.
Copy !req
15. Sandy Baylor's father is a drag racer.
Copy !req
16. I told him my pop
could beat his dad anytime,
Copy !req
17. 'cause you're the best
driver in the world.
Copy !req
18. Well, Eddie, it's wonderful
that you're proud of your father...
Copy !req
19. and that you stick up for him.
Copy !req
20. But, Herman, a drag racer?
Copy !req
21. That's the funniest thing
I ever heard in all of my lives.
Copy !req
22. - Eddie.
- Yeah, Pop?
Copy !req
23. Ignoring this hysterical person...
A drag racer!
Copy !req
24. And her unseemly guffaws...
may I ask you a question?
Copy !req
25. Sure.
Copy !req
26. What time on Saturday
do I start burning rubber?
Copy !req
27. - You mean you'll do it, Pop?
- Eddie, I can answer that in two words.
Copy !req
28. Vroom!
Copy !req
29. Vroom!
Copy !req
30. Oh, dear!
What was that?
Copy !req
31. That is Herman
out in the garage with Eddie,
Copy !req
32. hopping up our car for the drag strip.
Copy !req
33. I don't know why Uncle Herman
wants to become mixed up in racing.
Copy !req
34. You know Herman.
He always has to be a hero to his son.
Copy !req
35. I didn't know he knew anything
about automobiles.
Copy !req
36. He's really full of surprises.
Full of surprises?
Copy !req
37. You should have seen his X-rays
after his last physical.
Copy !req
38. There are some things in there that
the doctors couldn't figure out at all.
Copy !req
39. Good morning, Grandpa.
Good morning.
Copy !req
40. Good morning.
Is it too late for a poor,
Copy !req
41. broken-down old man
to have some breakfast?
Copy !req
42. Not at all.
I kept yours hot for you.
Copy !req
43. Good.
Copy !req
44. ?
Copy !req
45. There, now.
Copy !req
46. Is that warm enough for you?
It'll do.
Copy !req
47. Grandpa, aren't you going to help
Uncle Herman and Eddie fix the car?
Copy !req
48. No, I'm not gonna help Uncle Herman
and Eddie fix the car.
Copy !req
49. If anybody asks me
why I'm not gonna help,
I'll tell them why I'm not gonna help.
Copy !req
50. Why aren't you going to help?
Copy !req
51. I'm not going to help
because nobody asked me to help.
Copy !req
52. Listen to that racket.
Copy !req
53. I hate to see Herman
take a nice, normal family car...
Copy !req
54. and turn it into something
weird and ridiculous.
Copy !req
55. Okay, Eddie, I think we're ready
for another compression check.
Copy !req
56. Right, Pop.
You monitor the exhaust.
Copy !req
57. I'll activate the intake.
Copy !req
58. Ready?
Ready.
Copy !req
59. Fine. It'll sound even better
when we start the motor.
Copy !req
60. Now, for one last look
at the steering linkage.
Copy !req
61. Okay, Pop.
Copy !req
62. A-okay. I think we're ready
for a test run.
Copy !req
63. Boy, we'll really wipe
Sandy's father this Saturday.
Copy !req
64. Wipe him?
We'll clobber that Clyde.
Copy !req
65. I'm gonna practice
my speed shifting.
Copy !req
66. First.
Copy !req
67. Second.
Copy !req
68. Third.
Copy !req
69. Fourth.
Copy !req
70. Now, isn't that annoying?
Copy !req
71. You know, Pop, I think when you shift,
you ought to use the clutch.
Copy !req
72. Very well taken point.
Copy !req
73. Watch it, dearie.
That smarts.
Copy !req
74. Well, here I am.
Copy !req
75. I'm all ready for the drag strip.
Copy !req
76. I'm all stoked-up
and ready to go.
Copy !req
77. Well, there he is... my son-in-law,
the 150-year-old teenage punk.
Copy !req
78. Herman.
Copy !req
79. Herman, l... I wish
you wouldn't do this.
Copy !req
80. Uh, I just can't, uh, fight it, chick.
Copy !req
81. I, uh, gotta get out there
and drag it with the gassers.
Copy !req
82. Otherwise, doll,
I might blow my cool.
Copy !req
83. Herman! Herman,
wh-what's come over you?
Copy !req
84. L-I just don't know you anymore.
Copy !req
85. What's happened to
your Daddy Warbucks's image?
Copy !req
86. Uh, listen, doll,
I haven't got the time right now.
Copy !req
87. Eddie's, uh,
waitin' outside in the car.
Copy !req
88. We're gonna turn 137 and blast
Sandy's old man right off the blacktop.
Copy !req
89. All right, Herman.
Copy !req
90. Go out there
and beat him if you have to,
Copy !req
91. but... but don't go over
the speed limit.
Copy !req
92. Well, aren't you gonna
wish me luck, Grandpa?
Copy !req
93. Drop dead.
Copy !req
94. Well, that's better than nothing.
Copy !req
95. Uh, uh, good-bye, doll.
Copy !req
96. Hey, Dad, look what just came in.
Copy !req
97. Oh, boy, that's the oldest-looking
teenager I ever saw.
Copy !req
98. That's Eddie and his dad.
Oh.
Copy !req
99. From the looks of his dad's face,
he's been in some very bad smashups.
Copy !req
100. Let that be a lesson to you, son.
Copy !req
101. No one should ever go out on the strip
without a roll bar. Come on.
Copy !req
102. Hi, Eddie.
Oh, hi, Sandy.
Copy !req
103. Hey, Pop, I want you to meet
Sandy Baylor and his father.
Copy !req
104. Oh. Hi, Sandy.
Copy !req
105. And how do you do,
Mr. Baylor?
Copy !req
106. Oh, sorry.
Copy !req
107. Uh, no charge for the grease job.
Copy !req
108. Yeah, sure.
Copy !req
109. Say, uh, mind if I
ask you a question?
Copy !req
110. Certainly.
Copy !req
111. What is this?
Oh, this?
Copy !req
112. Oh, you, uh, noticed it.
Copy !req
113. This is just a little old
everyday family car...
Copy !req
114. with a, uh, 425-cubic-inch engine,
Copy !req
115. high-lift cam and 10 two-barrels.
Copy !req
116. You could've fooled me.
I thought they brought back the Edsel.
Copy !req
117. Um, well, I'm all set.
Copy !req
118. Where are your set of wheels?
Copy !req
119. Right over there.
Copy !req
120. Um, excuse me, sir,
but what is that?
Copy !req
121. "What's that?"
That's a rail.
Copy !req
122. "A rail"? Oh, yes!
Copy !req
123. One of my wife's relatives was once
ridden out of town on one of those.
Copy !req
124. It wasn't quite that modern.
Copy !req
125. Boy, Eddie, is my pop
gonna beat your pop.
Copy !req
126. He is not, 'cause my pop's
the best driver in the whole world.
Copy !req
127. Oh, is that so?
Copy !req
128. Well, Munster,
I was wondering if you'd like
to match your kid's enthusiasm...
Copy !req
129. with a little side bet.
Copy !req
130. Bet? Oh, well, uh, I think so.
Copy !req
131. I have four or five dollars on me.
Copy !req
132. Would you care to shoot the wad?
Copy !req
133. I'll tell you what...
just to make it an interesting bet,
Copy !req
134. why don't we bet your car
against mine?
Copy !req
135. Go ahead, Pop. We'll wipe him.
You're the greatest.
Copy !req
136. Oh, well, you see, I don't think so.
Copy !req
137. See, this is our only car,
and if I lost it, my wife would...
Copy !req
138. Gee, Pop, I think he's chicken.
Copy !req
139. All right, Baylor.
Copy !req
140. You got yourself a bet.
Copy !req
141. Good. My car against yours.
Copy !req
142. What's the matter?
You're not afraid
of losing your car, hotshot?
Copy !req
143. Me? Of course not.
Copy !req
144. Did it again.
Copy !req
145. Hmm! Listen to this.
Copy !req
146. It says, "In the next three-game series,
the Yankees will be out for blood."
Copy !req
147. I tell you, that's a lot more fun
than playing baseball.
Copy !req
148. Lily! Lily, look here!
Copy !req
149. "Leadfoot Baylor
Favored to Sweep Drags."
Copy !req
150. Why, Lily,
that's Sandy Baylor's father.
Copy !req
151. The fellow Herman's gonna race today
is a professional driver.
Copy !req
152. Oh! Oh, dear.
Copy !req
153. When Herman finds that out,
I hope he has the sense
to call the whole thing off.
Copy !req
154. "Sense"? Any grown man who still expects
quarters from the tooth fairy...
Copy !req
155. ain't exactly an Einstein.
Copy !req
156. After all,
if the man beats Uncle Herman,
all he'll lose is his pride.
Copy !req
157. Now, give her the gun
when you get the green flag.
Copy !req
158. Don't worry, Eddie.
I'll just keep my eye
on the rearview mirror.
Copy !req
159. That's where he'll be all the time.
Copy !req
160. Good luck.
Copy !req
161. Wh-What did you say, Eddie?
I said, "Good luck."
Copy !req
162. Herman Munster, of all things!
You and Eddie having
to come home on a bus.
Copy !req
163. Losing our car.
Uncle Herman, this is just terrible.
Copy !req
164. Didn't you know that that man
was a professional race driver?
Copy !req
165. No, I didn't know that.
I thought he was just
another goof like I was.
Copy !req
166. Herman, this is
the worst thing you've done...
Copy !req
167. since you bought us
that mausoleum at the cemetery,
Copy !req
168. and we couldn't move in because
there were no kitchen privileges.
Copy !req
169. How did I know it was
a restrictive community,
and they wouldn't take live people?
Copy !req
170. This is a nice mess you've got us into.
Copy !req
171. What are we gonna do without a car?
Copy !req
172. Well? Do you know, Herman?
No, I'm afraid not, Lily.
Copy !req
173. Do you know, Marilyn?
No, I don't know.
Copy !req
174. Do you, Grandpa?
Copy !req
175. Ooh!
Copy !req
176. Ooh!
Copy !req
177. Well, Grandpa, why don't you
give me the cold shoulder...
Copy !req
178. like the rest of my loyal family?
Copy !req
179. 'Cause I happen to have the solution
to this whole dilemma.
Copy !req
180. You aren't gonna try to talk me into
shooting myself again, are you?
Copy !req
181. No. I'm gonna build us a car...
Copy !req
182. that I'm gonna take to the drag races
next Saturday...
Copy !req
183. and that I personally will win back
our car from this Leadfoot Baylor...
Copy !req
184. by beating him at his own game.
Copy !req
185. Mm!
Copy !req
186. You're gonna build a car
and race it at the drags?
Copy !req
187. Yeah.
Copy !req
188. That's the most ridiculous, preposterous
idea I've heard in the last 150 years.
Copy !req
189. It's childish, idiotic
and utterly fantastic.
Copy !req
190. When can you start on it?
First thing in the morning.
Copy !req
191. Good.
Copy !req
192. Oh, there's Uncle Herman
and Grandpa again.
Copy !req
193. They've been pounding out in that garage
every day for a week.
Copy !req
194. Don't you have any idea
what they're up to?
Copy !req
195. No, I don't,
and I really don't care.
Copy !req
196. I told Herman I wasn't
speaking to him until
he gets our family car back.
Copy !req
197. Well...
Copy !req
198. But according to Eddie,
they're building some kind
of a car out there.
Copy !req
199. I don't know what they're up to.
They've asked Eddie for his bicycle.
Copy !req
200. They took the pipes out of the organ
in the living room.
Copy !req
201. And Herman came back from the parlor
with an empty box.
Copy !req
202. Now, you can't tell me that anyone
can build an automobile
out of junk like that.
Copy !req
203. Just a minute, now.
Copy !req
204. Okay, you can
bring her out now, Grandpa.
Copy !req
205. Wow, what a rail.!
Copy !req
206. I bet this Dragula
can wipe anything on the strip.
Copy !req
207. I ask you... is this an automobile,
or is this an automobile?
Copy !req
208. I really got to hand it to you, Grandpa.
Copy !req
209. This is quite an attractive vehicle.
Copy !req
210. Detroit could take a lesson
from this design.
Copy !req
211. And those organ pipes
are a very nice exhaust.
Copy !req
212. "Nice"? I'll have you know, Herman, that
this is the only dragster in America...
Copy !req
213. that can play "Oh, Promise Me"
in second gear.
Copy !req
214. Boy, I'm gonna go call Sandy's father...
Copy !req
215. and tell him we'll really beat him
at the drags tomorrow.
Copy !req
216. Oh, goody, goody!
Uh, tell him we'll smear him.
Copy !req
217. D... Wait a minute, Eddie.
Copy !req
218. Hold it, Herman.
Herman, come here.
Copy !req
219. Now.
Copy !req
220. One of the first rules in racing
is never tip your hand.
Copy !req
221. What you do is, you show up
the day of the races,
Copy !req
222. get your rival to commit himself
on the bet,
Copy !req
223. then you unveil the winning car.
Copy !req
224. Is that good, clean sportsmanship?
Of course it is.
Copy !req
225. As Sonny Liston says,
"It's not playing the game...
Copy !req
226. It's winning that counts."
Copy !req
227. "Born, 1367. Died, question mark."
Copy !req
228. I must say, Grandpa,
that's a very novel grill.
Copy !req
229. What do you mean, "novel grill"?
Copy !req
230. That's not a grill.
That's my license plate
from the Old Country.
Copy !req
231. Isn't this a neat place, Mom?
Look at that guy go.
Copy !req
232. I must admit...
it's rather a fun place.
Copy !req
233. You know, Eddie,
I used to be a great racing fan
back in Transylvania.
Copy !req
234. Oh, I had such gay times
going to the wolf track
and betting on our relatives.
Copy !req
235. Grandpa, have you seen anything
of our sporting rival, Mr. Baylor?
Copy !req
236. Hmm! "Sporting rival."
Copy !req
237. Here comes that rat fink now.
Oh.
Copy !req
238. Well, Munster, back for
another losing day at the drags?
Copy !req
239. Oh, no, sir.
Not today.
Copy !req
240. Uh, today, my decrepit,
broken-down, old father-in-law...
Copy !req
241. is gonna blast your heap.
Copy !req
242. I got news for you, Munster.
I've been working on this tank of yours
all week,
Copy !req
243. and I got it up to where it
will wipe out anything on wheels.
Copy !req
244. I see. Uh, care to make
a little wager on that?
Copy !req
245. What did you have in mind?
Same thing as last time.
Copy !req
246. Your car against ours.
Copy !req
247. Well, I don't know what you got
under that canvas, but... the bet's on.
Copy !req
248. Good.
Copy !req
249. Uh, allow me to introduce you
to our new set of wheels.
Copy !req
250. Well, you still wanna tangle
with us, buster?
Copy !req
251. Yeah, sure. I mean, uh,
Copy !req
252. I think so.
Copy !req
253. I never saw a rail like that before.
Just as I thought.
Copy !req
254. If you were any more chicken,
Clyde, you'd be cackling.
Copy !req
255. That's enough, Herman. Well?
Copy !req
256. All right. You got yourself a bet.
I'll see you over at the start line.
Copy !req
257. Good. Come on, Herman.
Copy !req
258. Hey, Leadfoot,
they got a real bomb here.
Copy !req
259. What if old pop takes us?
Well, supposing he does?
Copy !req
260. It's gonna be real difficult for him
to collect on his bet from
the fracture ward, ain't it?
Copy !req
261. What do you mean by that?
Look.
Copy !req
262. This parachute is the only way they can
stop this thing after the race is over.
Copy !req
263. If we kind of... borrow it,
wham, he hits the wall!
Copy !req
264. Get it out of here.
Copy !req
265. Oh, there's a seat, Aunt Lily.
Copy !req
266. Excuse me, sir.
Would you mind
moving over one?
Copy !req
267. Oh! Wasn't that nice of him
to give up his seat for me?
Copy !req
268. Look, there's Grandpa
at the starting line.
Oh!
Copy !req
269. Oh, my, he...
he's racing against our car.
Copy !req
270. I hope he wins
and gets it back.
Copy !req
271. It's always been just like
one of the family.
Copy !req
272. Hey, Leadfoot,
the old boob hasn't even noticed
his chute is missing.
Copy !req
273. Man, when he crosses the finish line,
he won't stop till he hits Mississippi.
Copy !req
274. That's his tough luck.
Copy !req
275. Uh, just hold it a minute, Grandpa.
Copy !req
276. Herman, at a time like this
you're taking pictures?
Copy !req
277. I just couldn't help it.
Copy !req
278. You look so natural
sitting in that box.
Copy !req
279. Grandpa, you forgot your... parachute.
Copy !req
280. Come on, Grandpa!
Copy !req
281. Oh! Oh, I'm so nervous.
Copy !req
282. Eddie, stop biting your nails.
Copy !req
283. Oh, he won!
He won!
He won! He won!
Copy !req
284. - Now, for the parachute.
Copy !req
285. Herman, son-in-law, baby,
you saved my life.
Copy !req
286. Of course, Grandpa.
Copy !req
287. What else could I do?
Copy !req
288. I have to have
this box back in the parlor
first thing Monday morning.
Copy !req
289. It was very naughty of you, Herman,
to lose our car at the drag races.
Copy !req
290. Thanks to Grandpa,
we have it back now.
Copy !req
291. Lily, please,
let's not bring up the past.
Copy !req
292. For once in this family,
let's let the dead stay buried.
Copy !req
293. Good idea.
I just hope our car wasn't hurt
in all those races.
Copy !req
294. Yes. And it's a beautiful car.
Copy !req
295. Have you ever noticed the way
everybody turns and stares at us
when we drive by?
Copy !req
296. Lily, there's no harm done.
A little racing is good for a car.
Copy !req
297. It only serves to loosen up
the engine.
Copy !req
298. Let's go, Pop.
Copy !req
299. We wanna get to the cemetery
before all the good spots are taken.
Copy !req
300. Right, Eddie.
Copy !req
