Izo Yamura:
Some years ago, when I decided to race cars, I tried to buy the Jordan-BRM company.

Pete Aron:
Oh yes, I had heard that.

Izo Yamura:
Impatience on my part. I also manufacture radios and sewing machines. In order to save time, I wanted a proven product. That was not to be, however. Racing cars are not merely another product. They require great attention if any success is to be hoped for.

Pete Aron:
Then that's why you're here.

Izo Yamura:
I have been racing my cars in Formula One for two years, and have yet to win my first Grand Prix. I intend to win, by whatever means are open to me.

Pete Aron:
That's the right attitude. All you have to do is go fast enough and long enough.

Izo Yamura:
And with the best drivers! Do you want a job with me?

Pete Aron:
Driving?

Izo Yamura:
Driving, of course.

Pete Aron:
Who are you dumping?

Izo Yamura:
Dumping?

Pete Aron:
Ah, which one of your drivers are you getting rid of?

Izo Yamura:
Neither one. I am entering a third car.

Pete Aron:
That'll be expensive.

Izo Yamura:
Yes.

Pete Aron:
You've got a driver.

Izo Yamura:
My racing headquarters is at Silverstone, in England. Can you be there next week?

Pete Aron:
Yes, sir.

Izo Yamura:
We must begin to think about - Spa!

Pete Aron:
Next week, then.

Izo Yamura:
By the way, you are a terrible broadcaster!

Izo Yamura:
Oh, Mr. Aron, if giving you the job would have meant firing one of the other drivers, would you still have taken it?

Izo Yamura:
Good!
