Hunt Stevenson:
If you walk out that door, you're going to miss a great comeback. We're ready to roll here, Jack.

Mr. Sakamoto:
This will never be like a Japanese factory... Jack.

Hunt Stevenson:
Oh, yeah? You're right. You know what else? So what?

Mr. Sakamoto:
You failed.

Hunt Stevenson:
Really? You know what? I got one of the first cars ever made here. I got the first car ever - I don't think I want it anymore. As a matter of fact, here. [hands keys to Mr. Sakamoto] Why don't you take the keys, OK? I'd rather have one of those cars. [points to cars in assembly line] I'd rather have one of these cars that we made together, by hand. Your guys and my guys, together. You know why? Because those cars stand for something. Those cars stand for something pretty great. I'm proud of those cars. I'm taking one. [Turns to workers] Gentlemen, I'm going home in my new car!

[All workers cheer and applaud, then silently pray that Hunt's new car has a working engine. Hunt starts the car, and the workers cheer. However, the car literally falls apart after about 2 yards, and the workers start to moan. Hunter gets out of the car]

Hunt Stevenson:
I tell ya, I thought it handled great!
