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. There, now.
Copy !req
45. Is that warm enough
for you? It'll do.
Copy !req
46. Grandpa, aren't you going to help
Uncle Herman and Eddie fix the car?
Copy !req
47. No, I'm not gonna help Uncle
Herman and Eddie fix the car.
Copy !req
48. If anybody asks me why I'm not gonna help,
I'll tell them why I'm not gonna help.
Copy !req
49. Why aren't you going to help?
Copy !req
50. I'm not going to help because
nobody asked me to help.
Copy !req
51. Listen to that racket.
Copy !req
52. I hate to see Herman take
a nice, normal family car...
Copy !req
53. and turn it into something
weird and ridiculous.
Copy !req
54. Okay, Eddie, I think we're ready
for another compression check.
Copy !req
55. Right, Pop. You
monitor the exhaust.
Copy !req
56. I'll activate the intake.
Copy !req
57. Ready? Ready.
Copy !req
58. Fine. It'll sound even better
when we start the motor.
Copy !req
59. Now, for one last look
at the steering linkage.
Copy !req
60. Okay, Pop.
Copy !req
61. A-okay. I think we're
ready for a test run.
Copy !req
62. Boy, we'll really wipe
Sandy's father this Saturday.
Copy !req
63. Wipe him? We'll
clobber that Clyde.
Copy !req
64. I'm gonna practice
my speed shifting.
Copy !req
65. First.
Copy !req
66. Second.
Copy !req
67. Third.
Copy !req
68. Fourth.
Copy !req
69. Now, isn't that annoying?
Copy !req
70. You know, Pop, I think when you
shift, you ought to use the clutch.
Copy !req
71. Very well taken point.
Copy !req
72. Watch it, dearie. That smarts.
Copy !req
73. Well, here I am.
Copy !req
74. I'm all ready for
the drag strip.
Copy !req
75. I'm all stoked-up
and ready to go.
Copy !req
76. Well, there he is... my son-in-law,
the 150-year-old teenage punk.
Copy !req
77. Herman.
Copy !req
78. Herman, I... I wish
you wouldn't do this.
Copy !req
79. Uh, I just can't,
uh, fight it, chick.
Copy !req
80. I, uh, gotta get out there
and drag it with the gassers.
Copy !req
81. Otherwise, doll, I
might blow my cool.
Copy !req
82. Herman! Herman,
wh-what's come over you?
Copy !req
83. I-I just don't know you anymore.
Copy !req
84. What's happened to your
Daddy Warbucks's image?
Copy !req
85. Uh, listen, doll, I haven't
got the time right now.
Copy !req
86. Eddie's, uh, waitin'
outside in the car.
Copy !req
87. We're gonna turn 137 and blast
Sandy's old man right off the blacktop.
Copy !req
88. All right, Herman.
Copy !req
89. Go out there and
beat him if you have to,
Copy !req
90. but... but don't go
over the speed limit.
Copy !req
91. Well, aren't you gonna
wish me luck, Grandpa?
Copy !req
92. Drop dead.
Copy !req
93. Well, that's better
than nothing.
Copy !req
94. Uh, uh, good-bye, doll.
Copy !req
95. Hey, Dad, look
what just came in.
Copy !req
96. Oh, boy, that's the
oldest-looking teenager I ever saw.
Copy !req
97. That's Eddie and his dad. Oh.
Copy !req
98. From the looks of his dad's face,
he's been in some very bad smashups.
Copy !req
99. Let that be a
lesson to you, son.
Copy !req
100. No one should ever go out on
the strip without a roll bar. Come on.
Copy !req
101. Hi, Eddie. Oh, hi, Sandy.
Copy !req
102. Hey, Pop, I want you to meet
Sandy Baylor and his father.
Copy !req
103. Oh. Hi, Sandy.
Copy !req
104. And how do you do, Mr. Baylor?
Copy !req
105. Oh, sorry.
Copy !req
106. Uh, no charge
for the grease job.
Copy !req
107. Yeah, sure.
Copy !req
108. Say, uh, mind if I
ask you a question?
Copy !req
109. Certainly.
Copy !req
110. What is this? Oh, this?
Copy !req
111. Oh, you, uh, noticed it.
Copy !req
112. This is just a little old
everyday family car...
Copy !req
113. with a, uh,
425-cubic-inch engine,
Copy !req
114. high-lift cam and
10 two-barrels.
Copy !req
115. You could've fooled me. I thought
they brought back the Edsel.
Copy !req
116. Um, well, I'm all set.
Copy !req
117. Where are your set of wheels?
Copy !req
118. Right over there.
Copy !req
119. Um, excuse me,
sir, but what is that?
Copy !req
120. "What's that?" That's a rail.
Copy !req
121. "A rail"? Oh, yes!
Copy !req
122. One of my wife's relatives was once
ridden out of town on one of those.
Copy !req
123. It wasn't quite that modern.
Copy !req
124. Boy, Eddie, is my pop
gonna beat your pop.
Copy !req
125. He is not, 'cause my pop's the
best driver in the whole world.
Copy !req
126. Oh, is that so?
Copy !req
127. Well, Munster, I was wondering if you'd
like to match your kid's enthusiasm...
Copy !req
128. with a little side bet.
Copy !req
129. Bet? Oh, well, uh, I think so.
Copy !req
130. I have four or
five dollars on me.
Copy !req
131. Would you care to shoot the wad?
Copy !req
132. I'll tell you what... Just to
make it an interesting bet,
Copy !req
133. why don't we bet
your car against mine?
Copy !req
134. Go ahead, Pop. We'll wipe
him. You're the greatest.
Copy !req
135. Oh, well, you see,
I don't think so.
Copy !req
136. See, this is our only car,
and if I lost it, my wife would...
Copy !req
137. Gee, Pop, I think he's chicken.
Copy !req
138. All right, Baylor.
Copy !req
139. You got yourself a bet.
Copy !req
140. Good. My car against yours.
Copy !req
141. What's the matter? You're not
afraid of losing your car, hotshot?
Copy !req
142. Me? Of course not.
Copy !req
143. Did it again.
Copy !req
144. Hmm! Listen to this.
Copy !req
145. It says, "In the next three-game
series, the Yankees will be out for blood."
Copy !req
146. I tell you, that's a lot more
fun than playing baseball.
Copy !req
147. Lily! Lily, look here!
Copy !req
148. "Leadfoot Baylor
Favored to Sweep Drags."
Copy !req
149. Why, Lily, that's
Sandy Baylor's father.
Copy !req
150. The fellow Herman's gonna
race today is a professional driver.
Copy !req
151. Oh! Oh, dear.
Copy !req
152. When Herman finds that out, I hope he
has the sense to call the whole thing off.
Copy !req
153. "Sense"? Any grown man who still
expects quarters from the tooth fairy...
Copy !req
154. ain't exactly an Einstein.
Copy !req
155. After all, if the man beats Uncle
Herman, all he'll lose is his pride.
Copy !req
156. Now, give her the gun
when you get the green flag.
Copy !req
157. Don't worry, Eddie. I'll just keep
my eye on the rearview mirror.
Copy !req
158. That's where he'll
be all the time.
Copy !req
159. Good luck.
Copy !req
160. Wh-What did you say,
Eddie? I said, "Good luck."
Copy !req
161. Herman Munster, of all things! You
and Eddie having to come home on a bus.
Copy !req
162. Losing our car. Uncle
Herman, this is just terrible.
Copy !req
163. Didn't you know that that man
was a professional race driver?
Copy !req
164. No, I didn't know that. I thought
he was just another goof like I was.
Copy !req
165. Herman, this is the
worst thing you've done...
Copy !req
166. since you bought us that
mausoleum at the cemetery,
Copy !req
167. and we couldn't move in because
there were no kitchen privileges.
Copy !req
168. How did I know
it was a restrictive
Copy !req
169. 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, I think so.
Copy !req
252. I never saw a rail like that
before. Just as I thought.
Copy !req
253. If you were any more chicken,
Clyde, you'd be cackling.
Copy !req
254. That's enough, Herman. Well?
Copy !req
255. All right. You got yourself a bet.
I'll see you over at the start line.
Copy !req
256. Good. Come on, Herman.
Copy !req
257. Hey, Leadfoot, they
got a real bomb here.
Copy !req
258. What if old pop takes us?
Well, supposing he does?
Copy !req
259. It's gonna be real
difficult for him to collect
Copy !req
260. 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
