[Miles and Peter enter the showroom to look at the new Ford Mustang]
Peter Miles : Whoa. Dad, look at that. Hah. The Ford Mustang. What do you think?
[Miles looks around the Mustang]
Ken Miles : I think it's a secretary's car.
Peter Miles : I like it.
[Peter opens the passenger door and looks at the interior, alarming Beebe]
Leo Beebe : Oh. Excu... Excuse me. Would you, would you not do that?
Peter Miles : Oh. Sorry.
[Peter closes the door as Miles looks at Beebe]
Leo Beebe : Oh, er, is this, is this your son?
Ken Miles : Yes, it is.
Leo Beebe : Would you ask him to keep his hands off the paintwork?
[Peter takes his hand off the roof]
Ken Miles : No, no, no, Peter, You're okay.
[looking at Beebe]
Ken Miles : Who are you?
Leo Beebe : Leo Beebe, Senior Executive Vice President, Ford Motor Company.
Ken Miles : Ah.
Leo Beebe : I'm responsible for the launch of the Mustang.
Ken Miles : Ah! At least now we know who's responsible. Don't get me wrong, Lenny.
Leo Beebe : Leo.
Ken Miles : It looks fantastic. But inside, it's a lump of lard, dressed up to fool the public. My advice is, lose the inline-six and that idiotic three-speed, shorten the wheelbase, somehow lose half a ton, and lower the price.
Peter Miles : Dad.
Ken Miles : But even then, I'd still choose a Chevy Chevelle. And that's a fucking terrible car.

[Shelby parks near Miles' house. He grabs a wrench and approaches the house]
Mollie Miles : Peter! Peter, come and take the garbage out.
Peter Miles : Mr. Shelby?
[Shelby turns around]
Carroll Shelby : Oh, hello, Pete.
Peter Miles : I remember that wrench. My dad threw it at you.
Carroll Shelby : I believe he did.
Peter Miles : Why?
Carroll Shelby : Oh.
[removes sunglasses]
Carroll Shelby : I think I probably said something to him. Called him a few names.
Peter Miles : That's right.
[pause]
Peter Miles : Do you wanna speak to my mum?
Carroll Shelby : Well, I dd. Uh... I came to say hello, check in on her and...
[sighs]
Carroll Shelby : Then I started thinking that sometimes... uh, words... just... ar-are not useful.
[pause]
Carroll Shelby : Tools are useful 'cause you can make stuff with 'em and you can fix stuff with 'em. Here.
[Shelby gives Peter the wrench]
Peter Miles : Thanks.
[pause]
Carroll Shelby : Your daddy was, uh...
Peter Miles : He was your friend.
[pause]
Carroll Shelby : Yes, he was. Yes, sir.
[pause]
Carroll Shelby : And he thought you was just finer than frog fur.
Mollie Miles : Peter!
Peter Miles : I think I've gotta go help my mum.
Carroll Shelby : What are you doing here then? Go on.
Peter Miles : Bye.
