Paul: Okay then, punch it! Whoa! This thing can really burn rubber.

Paul: Jeez, just watch out for cops or you're gonna end up in the slammer. You know that lead foot of yours.
Richard: Yeah, I know. I went through my last set of skins, in no time flat. I even had three blowouts in two weeks.
Paul: now watch' you've only had your car for a day and some guy'll probably run a light and total it!
Richard: knock it off, would you? What are you trying to do? Jinx it?
