Conflicting Interests in Racing Ambitions
Gary
Only one small question. It concerns my race program. If I wish to race Le Mans, and you do not wish for me to race Le Mans... do we or do we not go?
Lee Iacocca
Look, in that highly unlikely scenario... if, uh, we just can't agree... then, yes. I mean, no. You are correct. You do not go.
Gary
My integrity as a constructor, as a man, as an Italian, is deeply insulted by your proposal.
Gary
Go back to Michigan. Back to your big, ugly factory. Back to your big, ugly factory, making its ugly, little cars.
Gary
Tell your pigheaded boss that all his, uh, smug executives are worthless sons of whores.

Tell him he's not Henry Ford. He's Henry Ford II.

I'm starving. Let's go eat.

Betrayal and Insults in Business Negotiations
Leo Beebe
He played us. Old Man Enzo had no intention of selling to us. He used us to up his price, embarrass our company and insult your leadership. It was a bad idea from the start.
Henry Ford II
What exactly did he say?
Lee Iacocca
He said Ford makes ugly little cars, and we make em... in an ugly factory. He said our executives are sons of whores.
Henry Ford II
About me.
Lee Iacocca
He called you fat, sir. Pigheaded.
Henry Ford II
Go on.
Lee Iacocca
He said you're not Henry Ford. You're Henry Ford II.
Henry Ford II
I want the best engineers. The best drivers. I don't care what it costs. We're gonna build a race car...
Henry Ford II
And we're gonna bury that goddamn greasy wop 100 feet deep under the finish line at Le Mans. And I will be there to watch it.

Conflict Between Ambition and Parental Responsibility
Richard Williams
I'm trying to look out for my kids.
Rick Macci
No, you're looking out for yourself. You know, all I hear from you is pressure. Pressure, pressure pressure! But you know what I see? On TV, every day I see the Richard Williams show. A million dollars, number 1! The Greatest of All Time! You don't think that adds pressure?
Richard Williams
It adds confidence.
Rick Macci
Bullshit! It's about you. Now look, you wanna jerk my chain, go ahead and jerk it but do not do it to those girls.
Richard Williams
Rick, all respects, dude, we love you. You're like a member of our family. But you work for us. I wrote this plan.
Rick Macci
Plan.
Richard Williams
And when I say she's not playing, she is not playing. I call the shots. And I'm sorry if you don't like that.
Rick Macci
Richard, screw your frickin plan. You don't know what you're doing. You don't.

Questioning Baby's Abilities and Differences
Griff
What's his deal?
[''indicating Baby.'']
Doc
Oh, Baby? Full cut, same as everyone.
Griff
No, Doc. I mean, is he, uh, retarded?
Doc
Retarded" means slow. Was he slow?
Griff
No.
Doc
Then he don't sound retarded to me. He's a good kid and a devil behind the wheel. What the hell else more do you need to know?

Assessing Risks in a High-Stakes Assignment
The Ghost
Roy. ] and ] Who're you expecting to bomb you, ]?
[''Sees Roy at metal detectors at Rhinehart Inc. entrance''; ''Getting [[w:Metal detector|wanded; [w:Frisking|frisked; [w:Random House|Random House]
Roy Quigley
We're publishing Lang's memoirs. That's enough to make us a target, apparently.
The Ghost
Thank you. How many have you seen?
[''Gets his effects back''; ''In elevator'']
Roy Quigley
Five. You're the last. I must be honest. I don't think you're the right man for this assignment.
The Ghost
Then it's a good job it's not your decision, Roy.
Roy Quigley
John Maddox, chief executive of Rhinehart, New York.
The Ghost
Sir.
[''Shakes hand'']
Roy Quigley
Sidney Kroll, Mr. Lang's Washington attorney.
The Ghost
Mr. Kroll.
[''Shakes hand'']
Roy Quigley
And Nick Ricardelli I believe you know.
The Ghost
All right, Rick.
[''Rick puts hand on The Ghost's back and guides him to couch'']
John Maddox
All right, I gather from Rick you're aware of the situation? Perhaps you can enlighten us and tell us what exactly you're gonna bring to this project.
The Ghost
Nothing. No, I'm not gonna pretend to be someone I'm not. You have my CV.
Roy Quigley
His last effort was the autobiography of a magician, I Came, I Sawed, I Conquered.
Rick Ricardelli
Yeah, and it went straight to number one, so...
The Ghost
After you turned it down, Roy. Look, I don't read political memoirs. Who does? And I gather you've spent $10 million on this book. How much of that are you gonna see back? Two? Three? It's bad news for your shareholders. And it's worse news for your client, Mr. Kroll. Adam Lang, he wants a place in history, not in the remainder tables.
Roy Quigley
Oh, please!
The Ghost
It's because I know nothing about politics that I'll ask the questions that get right to the heart of who Adam Lang is. And that is what sells autobiographies. Heart.
Rick Ricardelli
Wow! That's nicely done.
Roy Quigley
What utter balls!
John Maddox
You think so?
Roy Quigley
John, of course. Adam Lang's a world historical figure. His autobiography is gonna be a world-publishing event.
John Maddox
Yeah, well, I got warehouses filled with world-publishing events waiting to be pulped.
Roy Quigley
Sid?
Sidney Kroll
Adam is obviously still very upset by what happened to Mike McAra. He was irreplaceable. Irreplaceable, and yet he has to be replaced. Adam can certainly appreciate the benefits of trying someone different. In the end, it's about chemistry. Do you work out, maybe?
The Ghost
Not really.
Sidney Kroll
That's a pity. Adam likes to work out.
Roy Quigley
Actually, I know a good writer on ] who uses a gym.
[[w:The Guardian|the Guardian]
Rick Ricardelli
Okay, maybe we could just run over the publishing schedule, yeah?
John Maddox
We need to wrap this up in a month.
The Ghost
A month?
John Maddox
Yes.
The Ghost
You want the book in a month?
Sidney Kroll
We already have a first draft.
John Maddox
Yeah, well, it needs a lot of work. That's why I like your résumé here. You're fast, and you deliver.
Rick Ricardelli
You name it, he ghosts it.
John Maddox
And you're a Brit. The ghost should be a Brit. To get the jolly old tone right, right?
[''Mimics English accent''; ''Rick chuckles'']
Sidney Kroll
Do you have any family commitments?
The Ghost
No, I have no family. Why?
Sidney Kroll
Adam is locked into a US lecture tour, also a fundraising program for the Adam Lang Foundation.
Rick Ricardelli
It's a month in the States. That's okay.
The Ghost
Couldn't I bring the manuscript back here to work on?
Sidney Kroll
I'm afraid not. It's in a secure environment in Marty Rhinehart's own house. Only a few people are allowed to handle it.
Roy Quigley
Sounds more like a bomb than a book. I will need to see it myself at some point. I am supposed to be editing it. Yeah, in theory.
John Maddox
Actually, we need to talk about that. How soon can you get over there?
The Ghost
As soon as you want.
Rick Ricardelli
He'll fly tonight.
The Ghost
Rick.
Rick Ricardelli
It's okay.
John Maddox
Okay, you're in.
[''After silence with Sidney giving an informal eye flash'']
The Ghost
Oh!
[''Gets up'']
John Maddox
Congratulations.
[''Shakes The Ghost's hand and pats him on shoulder'']
The Ghost
Thank you. Thanks.
John Maddox
Rick.
[''Off camera'']
The Ghost
Thank you.
[''To Sidney'']
Sidney Kroll
Actually, I have something here you might want to look at.
[''Holds up bag'']
The Ghost
Is that... Is that...
Sidney Kroll
No, no, no, this isn't Adam's book. No, it's another client of mine. Yeah, perhaps you can let me know what you think.
The Ghost
Sure.
Sidney Kroll
Okay, if you're gonna get that evening flight, we'd better talk contracts with Rick here. Wanna show our friend to the door? Would you?! Roy?!
[''To dazed Roy''; ''Raises voice''; ''Roy comes to'']
Rick Ricardelli
Call you in an hour, buddy.
John Maddox
Hey! Remember... Heart.
[''To The Ghost at door''; ''Pats chest saying in English accent'']

Political Craze and Voter Apathy
The Ghost
But you realize I know nothing about politics?
[''At a restaurant'']
Rick Ricardelli
You voted for him, didn't you?
The Ghost
Adam Lang? Of course I did.
Rick Ricardelli
Everyone voted for him. He wasn't a politician, he was a craze.
The Ghost
Well, there you go.
Rick Ricardelli
Look, it's a new ghostwriter he needs, not another goddamn politico. He was paid $10 million for these memoirs, but rumor has it the manuscript's a crock of shit. Rhinehart's lending him his house at the ocean so they can fix it, and the pressure must have gotten to McAra. Pathologist said his blood was, like, three parts booze.
The Ghost
You mean he drowned by accident?
Rick Ricardelli
Accident, suicide, who cares? It was the book that killed him.
The Ghost
Well, that's encouraging. Who is this McAra? Should I have heard of him?
[''Rick dryly chuckles'']
Rick Ricardelli
Yeah. He was some kind of aide to Lang when he was Prime Minister, so don't admit that you haven't. He was with him for years.
The Ghost
I don't know, Rick.
Rick Ricardelli
This is a great opportunity for you. Plus the money is good. Kids won't starve.
The Ghost
I don't have any kids.
Rick Ricardelli
I do.

Kahmunrah's Threat and Demand for Cooperation
Kahmunrah
Tell me the combination and give me the tablet right now or I shall KILL all of your friends starting with this little shaggy-headed little cowman here!
Jedediah
I ain't shaggy-headed! Gigantor, let me take this guy!
Larry Daley
Don't worry, I got this handled. You don't wanna give me my friends, then you're not gonna get your combination or your Tablet.
[to Kahmunrah]
Kahmunrah
Alright, I'll tell you what, alright. They didn't call me Kahmunrah the Trustworthy for nothing, alright? Here you go.. They DIDN'T call me Kahmunrah the trustworthy! They called me Kahmunrah the BLOODTHIRSTY, who kills whoever doesn't give Kahmunrah exactly what he wants in the moment that he wants it, which is RIGHT NOW, when I had also better get the combination and the Tablet!
[starts to hand him the hourglass; jerks it back]
Larry Daley
That's what they called you?
Kahmunrah
It was shorter in Egyptian.
Larry Daley
Great, well, I'll give you the combination after you give him back!
[reaches for the tablet]
Kahmunrah
How dare you! If you touch that again I shall kill you right now. Do not touch this. This is a No-Touching zone!
[makes a line in front of the hourglass with his hand]
Larry Daley
Good, well, then...
[reaches for it]
Kahmunrah
Oh my GOD! I can't believe you reached across like that again! I can't even believe it! Oh, God! I want to kill you right now! If you didn't know this combination, you would be so dead right now, it would be unbelievable!
Larry Daley
Great, well, I do know the combination...
Kahmunrah
DON'T CROSS THIS LINE with your hand!
[making a line with his arm]
Kahmunrah
How dare you! If you speak again, if you SPEAK AGAIN, I'm going to kill you! Do you understand this? Don't say it! Oh, God I see you getting ready! Oh, my GOD! Don't say anything! Now, give me that Tablet and tell me the combination.
Larry Daley
Alright, after you give me Jed and release my friends.
[reaches for the hourglass]
Kahmunrah
You did all three! You spoke and you reached your hand across!
[he freaks out]
Larry Daley
Look, I can talk to you about this all night!
Kahmunrah
How about this? How about I DON'T kill you, like I really, really want to, and I give you precisely five seconds to hand over that Tablet and tell me the combination?
Al Capone
We already got the combination! It's pi. 3.14159265! This little guy sang. Oh did he sing? Like a canary!
[coming in carrying Einstein]
Einstein Bobblehead
Sorry, Larry.
