Jean-Pierre Sarti:
I suppose what's wrong with me is my life. But I can't change it, or won't. So there's nothing you can do for me.

Louise Frederickson:
What's wrong with your life?

Jean-Pierre Sarti:
I've begun to see the absurdity of it. All of us, proving what? That we can go faster, and perhaps remain alive? Nino gambling his life for a trophy, then fills it with beer, and does tricks. Stoddard filling himself with drugs in order to drive, and still passing out with the pain. Don't you see how absurd it all is? Who cares?

Louise Frederickson:
I thought you cared, for yourselves. I didn't know you asked of anyone else. Nevertheless, others do care. 100,000 of them cared today.

Jean-Pierre Sarti:
And did you see them rush to see Peter burn? Did you see the looks on their faces? *I* saw. For the first time today I *really* saw those faces.

Louise Frederickson:
But not all of them, Jean-Pierre. There are some who come for that, for the accidents and the fires. But the others... the others ride with you all. You put something in their lives they can't put there themselves.
