06x08 - Tomorrow's Throwback

[bunniefuu]

♪ I am, I am ♪

♪ Stronger than I've ever been… ♪

[music fades]

[Mark] So you're just gonna walk out
like that in front of everybody?

[Shawn sighing]

You're so buried in that Humvee thing.

I just enlisted Nick's help
to bring in another high-end car, so…

I don't know.
You don't tell me about that?

I mean, for years we talked about stuff.

I didn't think it was that big of a deal.
Obviously, it's a big deal to you.

-Not that big of a deal?
-Yeah, you're not being replaced.

When Nick and I and the shop
had parted ways,

you were there, remember?

In that conversation, it was,

"If you ever find a client
that wants a Gotham Garage full build,

then let me know."

All right, I get that.
Just the fact that I didn't know about it,

and then I see all of a sudden
Nick coming in again, it didn't feel good.

[Mark] The upgrade and trade deal
that Shawn put together should have landed

with a six-figure Jaguar, and it didn't.

But fortunately, Nick reached out
because he found a client

that would let us
put our Gotham Garage thumbprint

on a vintage Ferrari.

I didn't want to distract Shawn
from his plan,

but in hindsight,

maybe I should've let him know
what I was doing.

-We went in a certain direction with Nick.
-Sure.

And it didn't work.

Exactly.

I have been thinking about a lot of stuff
and changing the way this shop operates.

So basically, I have a new direction
that I want to go in.

There's a bigger market
that's not really tapped into yet.

I'm talking about iconic, nostalgic cars.

When I say nostalgia cars, I mean cars
that people are already in love with,

even before we build them.

The Hot Wheels car, the Futura, the XNR.

Things that we've kinda already delved in
in the past that worked out very well,

that's where I wanna go.

I've had my eye on this 308 for a while.

It's the same iconic car
that Magnum, P.I. drove

and a perfect first test for the direction
I want to take this shop.

All of these cars have a following.
The people and the money are out there.

So my suggestion is with that Humvee,
if you can't sell it outright,

then find someone that will trade us
something of the same value

of those type of nostalgic cars.

Okay.

Don't forget, man,
you're always number one. [chuckles]

[engine sputtering]

[tools whirring]

[engine revving]

[rock music playing]

[music stops]

-How is he?
-[Mark] He'll be fine.

It was just a slight misunderstanding,
so he just needs a little Shawn time.

-Yeah?
-Yeah.

So tell me all about this client you have
for this 308 Ferrari.

Kim, she's great.
She's the wife of an old client of mine.

He's bought a bunch of cars from me
in the past.

She's looking for something special
for his birthday.

She's throwing a surprise birthday party
coming up soon,

and he's all into Magnum, P.I.

So she wants
a full Magnum, P.I. Ferrari 308

with the Gotham touch.

I love this.

It takes Gotham Garage right down the road
I wanna go down with these nostalgia cars,

so this is gonna be a really good fit.

-But there's a bit of a catch.
-Okay.

She just called me.
She's dead set on this one venue.

It's beautiful. It's on the water.
It's Hawaiian-themed, and it's perfect.

But the only time it's available
is in 11 days.

-Next weekend?
-I know.

If she had to wait,
it would be like three, maybe four months.

-Do you reckon it's doable?
-Uh…

I think it's doable. It's gonna be tight.

But it also comes down to
what's the budget.

She realizes what we're up against.
She realizes she's gonna need to pay.

It's gonna be north of six figures,
so it could be a good payday.

-Okay.
-But there's one more thing.

You're starting to sound like Shawn.
What's the one more thing?

I made the fatal error of asking
if her husband was into anything else.

She was telling me he's into spy gadgets,
James Bond kind of stuff

and Italian racing.

So if we could incorporate anything
from that line, she'll pay extra for it.

As long as we can get
the Magnum, P.I. stuff done,

I'm okay with making everybody work
a few late nights

to get the spy stuff in
and the Italian race car stuff.

-It's extra money.
-[Mark] Then we get the money.

We better get going.

[Nick] Off we go. Grab your wrenches.

[rock music playing]

All right, so let me get you guys
up to speed on this car.

So basically,
Nick has a buyer for this already.

[Tony] No way.

Yep. She's buying it for her husband
to give to him for his birthday,

and that's in a week and a half.

We're gonna unveil it
at his birthday party.

It's a surprise party.

So we're going to go
full Magnum, P.I. on this car.

The Ferrari 308 GTS was introduced in 1977

and represented a significant evolution
in Ferrari styling and performance.

Its sharper, angular body lines gave it
an aggressive look,

matching the power of
the larger V8 engine.

And by 1980,
this Italian roadster became a global icon

as the car Tom Selleck drove
all over Hawaii

in the TV series Magnum, P.I.

Okay, so here's the deal with this.

We got eleven days to build this car,
so it's going to be really tight,

but we're talking a six-figure payday
if we can pull this off.

-[Tony] Okay. That's good.
-[Jake] Cool.

There's a lot of styling on this car
that's timeless,

but there's also a lot
of carbon-dated parts on this car.

I mean, they're dated.
Like, dinosaur dated.

-You're talking about the bumper, right?
-[Mark] Yeah.

That's the worst-looking part of this car.

[Mark] Even though I think
nostalgia builds

are the way to go for this shop,

it doesn't mean we won't make alterations
to these vehicles.

I believe there's a strong market

for people that remember the car
from the past,

but they want it brought into the future
because it's not quite as comfortable.

It doesn't handle as well.

This body line, it's getting filled in.

All the creature comforts of now
put into the car of yesteryear

so that now it's at the same caliber
as a new Ferrari.

And that's the sweet spot.

First off,
we're gonna knock all the fugly off of it.

-Hell yeah, that sounds like fun.
-Okay.

To pay homage
to the original Magnum, P.I. 308 Ferrari

but add some needed modern touches,

we're gonna start with some monster-wide,
one-of-a-kind, custom-made wheels

and then fabricate huge fender flares
for the back and front,

giving the car an aggressive wide stance.

Then, to improve the aerodynamics,
we'll keep the car's lines flowing

by connecting the flares
with side skirt rocker panels

that wrap all the way around
to a custom front spoiler.

Once we upgrade the exhaust
to make this thing roar,

we'll cap it off
with a stylish rear valance.

And to go with
this callback to Magnum, P.I.,

we'll paint it with the iconic red
that made the 308 stand out for decades.

[Tony] Spin it this way.

[Caveman] Up, up, and away like Superman.

[tools whirring]

-[Tony] You got it?
-That is a big chunk of rubber.

[Constance] Okay. Look how much better
this looks already.

[Tony] Way better.

Is that heavy?

That's insane.

[Tony] You just gave it
an extra hundred horsepower.

You can hear it, dude, everything in it.

-That's wild.
-Look at that.

I'm not an expert,

but I know that when this stuff
is coming out of your muffler,

it's not good.

There shouldn't be lava rock
in the muffler?

-[Constance laughing]
-You know what? Even though we're doing

mostly cosmetic with the body, paint,
and stuff like that,

-we need to check all the systems.
-Yeah.

We need to check the electrical,
the fuel system, all the fluids,

make sure this car is right and tight.

Especially with the timeline we're on,
we can't afford any surprises,

so if there are any issues,
I'm going to need to know right away.

-Sure.
-[Constance] All right.

[rock music playing]

-[cell phone ringing]
-[Shawn] Hey, Ricky.

-It's Shawn from Gotham Garage.
-[Ricky on phone] Hey, Shawn.

I heard you have a GT Falcon Interceptor
from Mad Max. Is that true?

[Ricky] I got rid of that last year.

Yeah, I'm sorry about that.

Jacob, is it true that you have the car
from Herbie: The Love Bug

and The Munsters Koach car over there?

[Jacob on phone] Yeah, I've got 'em.

Just not looking to sell
or do a deal on those right now.

Mark wants to take the shop in a direction
of more nostalgia builds,

and I've got
a six-figure Humvee lying around,

so I'm going to try and come up with
some sort of creative trade.

[Jacob] I got to be honest.

I don't know many people in the market
for a Humvee.

-No?
-I don't know if it'll work out.

Okay. What if I threw in a little cash?
Would that--

[Jacob] It's gonna to have to be
a lot of cash

-and that Humvee for that trade to work.
-Hmm.

Looks like I got my work cut out for me

because the initial reaction
to this Humvee trade

is not very encouraging.

♪ Oh, oh, oh, oh ♪

[music stops]

[Mark] The new wheels are here.
Let's get them on.

The original 308 had kind of weak wheels
by today's standards,

so I had these wheels custom-made,

and my buddy put us
at the front of the line for a rush job,

and these rims are going to work perfectly
on this 308.

They will no doubt give this car
the modern thunder to impress.

-They look pretty good, don't they?
-[Tony] Yes, I like 'em. I like the color.

[creaking]

-Tire doesn't turn?
-[Mark] Yeah.

The wheels aren't quite fitting
inside the fender wells right now,

but they're too much
of an important feature of my plan

to just go with smaller ones.

So we very carefully
need to carve out space for them.

[whirring]

-All right, right turn?
-[Mark] Yeah.

[creaking]

-What do you think? Are we good?
-Okay, right there. No.

-Better, but no.
-Still not good.

So relax it, there you go.

[Tony] Man, it's so close.
It's just right there.

[Mark] The problem that we now have is

that we can't carve out
any more space this way.

If we cut any more,
we're going to get into the unibody,

and that could
completely collapse the structure,

and that means a totaled car,
no birthday, no payday.

[Tony] If we take that inner panel out,
and it's got a rubber grommet,

who knows, Mark, we might have another
half inch hidden back here

before we get to the unibody.

[Mark] That half inch
might be all we need.

All right, here's the deal.
Get it back up on the lift

and see how much
we can get out of it, if any.

[Tony] Yeah, I think
that's going to be worth the work.

[Mark] I've got to run over
to the other shop and grab some parts,

so don't even think about
cutting into that unibody till I get back.

-Yep.
-Keep Caveman away from the saw too.

[rock music playing]

[music stops]

Hey, Shawn, how are you?

-Hi, Nick.
-Are we good?

Yeah, we're good.

I mean, you know, after you left,

the pressure of keeping the shop afloat
with all those deals,

I mean, that-- that was a lot.

So when Mark ends up
doing a deal with you,

I'm going, "What's up with that?"

It was something that came across my desk.
It was perfect for you guys.

Then I just called Mark.
It's as simple as that,

and it's not like I'm coming back.

Yeah, I know it was a little bit
of a misunderstanding on my part…

-Yeah.
-…so I get it.

[Nick] And I'm here to help.

If you're stuck in any deals,
I'm happy to make some calls for you.

Well, I am trying to move this Humvee.

And you know
the direction Mark wants to go in the shop

with doing nostalgia cars,
picture movie cars, and stuff like that.

So I'm trying to come up with

some sort of creative trade
for the Humvee.

I don't know if you know anybody
with those kind of cars.

-I'll make some calls.
-Yeah?

-I'm happy to help.
-I know where your heart is.

-[Nick] We're good.
-I appreciate that.

-I'll go make some calls for you.
-Okay, man.

-Take care, man. Be well.
-Thank you.

-I'll be in touch with you. Take it easy.
-Talk to you in a bit.

[rock music playing]

[Caveman] What are we cutting up?

[Tony] We're trying to figure out
tire clearance,

so we're hitting that front corner,
and then we're hitting this corner also.

[Caveman] Yep.

We'll cut the outer lip of the wheel well,

and there's an inner panel we can pull out
that hopefully will give us

the extra clearance we need
for these wheels to be able to turn.

We can't make any more cuts beyond that

because it will completely jeopardize
the structure of the frame.

-There you go, Tony.
-[Tony] Nice.

[whirring]

[Tony] Okay.
So let's see, how many turns is it?

[creaking]

[Caveman] All right,
you're turned to the max.

[Tony] I think we have enough room,
Caveman, and it's not touching.

And thankfully for us,

if you hit a bump when you're steering
and the tire comes up,

it's actually gonna get more clearance
as it comes up.

Caveman, let's cut the other one to match.

-All right.
-We get to start on the fender flares.

-[Constance] Sure.
-Oh, what's up? Magnum. Two Magnums.

-Did you come with information?
-[chuckling]

It's in the mood of the build.
You have to live it.

[Tony] Looking good.

[Caveman laughing]

All right. Let's harness
that inner Magnum, P.I. and get to work.

Nothing works better
than the Selleck mustache.

[Constance chuckles]

They look good.

Now we just got to get
the side skirts molded into it,

get it all to wrap around
and flow into the rear end.

We get the exhaust up underneath there.
We get the bumper treatment done.

Because this car has to look like
it was born this way.

Okay.

[Mark] We have a week to go,

but I think we're making good progress
on all these Magnum, P.I. features.

I want the outside of this fender

to connect to the outside
of that fender edge.

So I'm hoping we'll have time
to do the spy and Italian racing details

that the client wants us
to put on this car.

["Look Sharp" by Wrong Planet Music
& Josh Trotter playing

♪ Look sharp ♪

♪ Look sharp… ♪

[Tony] I got a special delivery.

[Mark] We got
a special delivery bumper, basically.

[Tony] That should be pretty solid.

We'll start mocking up on the front
and then move to the back,

and then I'll stitch-weld it
all the way around.

[rock music playing]

[Mark] So when the 308
was designed in Italy,

it was born with
a very sexy, sleek front and rear bumper.

Then, when they came to America,
they had to meet our regulations,

so they had to install

these giant, fat-lipped,
five-mile-an-hour crash bumpers

so that they could pass a DOT

and you could register the car
in the United States.

So my vision for these bumpers is

to just take off this fat lip
of a five-mile-an-hour crash bumper

and then do something very exotic
and very unique for this car.

-Oh, I like that.
-Yeah.

[Tony] Slice the overlap.

-Sweet, dude. That'll work perfect.
-Yeah.

[music continues]

[music stops]

[Mark] Okay, we only have
a few days left to get this car done.

-[Jake] Yeah.
-Yeah, admiring Jake's work.

It's coming together. It looks good.

So we've got to make one change.

I didn't bring this up earlier
with you guys 'cause I wanted you to focus

on getting the Magnum, P.I. elements done
on this car,

but I think we've got enough time
to squeeze this in.

The client also asked
if we could do some spy gadgets

and some Italian racing elements on it.

So we're going to turn this into
a James Bond spy car?

Kind of. I'm thinking
we go with some '80s stuff,

like high-tech,
Mission Impossible kind of stuff.

Sounds fun to do,
but it sounds like a lot of work.

[Mark] I know it's going to be tight,
but if we can pull this off,

the client said she's going to give us
a really good bump at the end of this.

-Right on.
-Sweet.

-[Tony] Awesome.
-I got ideas for spy stuff.

-Yeah, what's your idea?
-Rocket launchers.

[chuckling] We're not doing
any kind of firearms.

Oil slicks?

No, we're not getting involved
with the EPA

and the fines that come with it.

-How about tacks? You know, the old jacks.
-[laughing]

-We could put a smoke machine.
-[Caveman] Yeah, a fog machine in it.

[all laughing]

Let's just keep it on
the stealth getaway thing,

like James Bond revolving license plate,

where you can change your plate
on the fly.

-I'm thinking maybe that on the back.
-Yeah.

[Mark] One California
and two out of state.

[all laughing]

-A spy always has spy cameras.
-Infrared?

-[Tony] Yeah, like night vision.
-Yeah.

[Mark] We could do that.
That wouldn't be too hard.

We'll just put
some hideaway infrared lights on it

then get him night vision goggles.

[Jake] That would be cool.

While I'd like to do this
as a pure Magnum, P.I. 308 nostalgia build

and test the waters
of the future of this shop,

I'm actually really pumped

to be adding spy
and Italian racing features to this build.

There's going to be no one on the planet
with a hybrid vehicle like this.

We're gonna do night vision,
infrared lights in the front,

and then we're gonna do
a revolving license plate in the back.

So, Tony,
you get working on that gadgetry.

Jake, you guys keep working
on the body work.

Then we can get all this put together.

[Caveman] Let's go.

["Push Through It"

♪ Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh ♪

♪ Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh ♪

[Tony] We need to figure out
how we'll make this license plate spin.

Get a little squirrel back there,

and every time you want to spin,
you drop him a nut.

[chuckles]

Caveman, you remember the slot machine
in the '32?

-The one in the dash?
-[Caveman] With the face?

-That's the one.
-Yes, I remember.

[Tony] The '32 Ford that we designed
for Pechanga Casino

had spinning slot machine reels

that I was able to build
with a simple window motor.

That worked out pretty good, and since
our license plate changer needs to spin,

this motor might work out perfect.

But I don't know how it's gonna stop.

-If this is a spy car to get away…
-This has to land exactly--

It's gotta land on each one.
Maybe this isn't the right thing.

I don't know.

Perfect.

All right. So that's the idea.

[Caveman] Those are cool. What do you got?

I've got night-vision headlights
that we're gonna mount down here in this…

-[Tony] Infrared?
-…Infrared.

So this is night vision goggles.
We're gonna install the infrared lights.

We're going to get those lights mounted
behind the grill.

Then he'll be able to flick the lights on
at night when it's dark

and then use the goggles to see
in the dark with the infrared light.

Pretty awesome.

Night vision works by taking natural light
like the moon and the stars,

and low-level artificial light
and amplifying it.

[Mark] Lights off.

This amplified light is then translated
into an image that our eyes can perceive.

Infrared lights are going on now.

[Tony] Man, it's so crazy
how you can see every detail.

-That's wild, dude.
-[all laughing]

-[Tony] What do you think, Caveman?
-Dude, this is insane!

-[Caveman] Whoa! Wow, that hurt.
-[Constance] Ugh.

Let's get this wrapped up
because I've got a car I've got to primer.

We gotta get it painted
to get it to the party.

So let's get this night vision installed.

-Sounds good.
-[Tony] All right.

[slow rock music playing]

[Mark] I'm a little nervous Tony hasn't
dialed in the spinning license plate yet

because if that spy element
doesn't get completed,

there's no bonus on this,

but I don't have any time to wait
before we primer and paint this thing.

We have completely transformed
the outside of this 308

to make it a modern Magnum, P.I. car.

Next, we'll be putting
the finishing touches on the spy elements

that gives it a little James Bond touch.

And finally, because our client loves
Italian movies and Italian racing,

I've decided to forego
the Magnum, P.I. red

and paint this car like the Italian flag,

red, white, and green.

It'll for sure make our clients happy,

and I think Kim will appreciate
that we listened to her

and we put all of the things she wanted
on her husband's dream car.

to this car

is the spinning license plates.

that we used to make the reels spin

in the Pechanga car,

but that gave me no way to stop them.

I figured out a solution
just in the nick of time.

I'm using the motor
from a power door lock,

and it will give us a precise short push

that spins the license plate
one revolution at a time.

-Yeah.

-You just do a little button push and…
-[Constance] Wow!

-…wa-cha!

[Nick] I really hope he likes it.

I see him.

[rock music playing]

-There he is.
-[gasps]

[all cheering]

-[Bill] What's happening?
-Happy birthday.

[all laughing]

Wow!

It's incredible.

-Show him his present.
-[Kim] I hope that you like it.

-Like what?
-[Kim] Um, like that.

[Bill exclaiming]

No way!

[all cheering]

For the man who has everything.

[Bill] This is incredible.

[all applauding]

[Bill] So beautiful.

You have to thank
the guys from Gotham Garage.

Wow!

Hi, I'm Mark from Gotham Garage
and your lovely wife, Kim, commissioned us

to build you this James Bond,
Magnum, P.I., Italian-themed Ferrari.

This is incredible work. This is amazing.

[Mark] We gave it an Italian flag,
satin finish.

We knocked off all the California ugly
with the bumpers in the front end.

[Bill] Yeah, I can see that.
It's beautiful.

[Mark] My buddies built the wheels for us.
They're 14 inches wide in the back.

Gave it these really cool F1 mirrors.

It's got custom exhaust tips on it,
whole custom exhaust.

It's incredible.

So, a little birdie told me you got
this thing for like, 007,

-spy cameras.
-Absolutely. I'm a kid of the '80s.

[Mark] So, we went to great lengths

to give you some spy features
built into this car.

-Keep an eye on that plate.
-Yeah.

[Bill laughing] Oh, that's so cool.

[Mark] So now you're in getaway mode.

[Bill] Yeah. That is awesome.

[Mark] Let me show you something up front.

Those little silver rings,
those are infrared headlights.

To go with the infrared headlights,

-night vision goggles.
-Whoa…

On a road with no lights, you'll be able
to see everything for miles.

Now we're talking.

[Mark] That's straight from Gotham Garage
to you at the request of your wife.

Beautiful. This is amazing, man.

Best birthday ever.
It's just beyond expectation.

[Mark] Apparently, you got the best wife
in the world, my friend.

[all laughing]

[Kim] Mark and his team outdid themselves.

All I did was talk to Nick
and say, "Nick, knock his socks off."

-[Mark] Happy birthday.
-Thanks so much.

-Let's all go get a drink.
-There you go. Let's party.

[all cheering]

[rock music playing]

[Jake] Gotham sandwich right there.

[rock music playing]

[all cheering]

[indistinct chatter]

[all laughing]

[music stops]

[rock music playing]

[Tony] Caveman, your dance moves
on the conga line last night were epic.

How about the grass skirt
and the coconut shells?

-I've never seen anything like that.
-You probably never will either.

Okay, but like how many mai tais?

If you had to hold up as many fingers
as how many?

Last time I could see anything,
it was looking like this.

[Mark] You look
a little hungover there, buddy.

But in a good way, I think.

-Did everybody have a good time?
-We're still having a good time.

And the customer was super stoked too.

Yeah. She was so stoked about the car
and that we got it done on time,

got all the spy gadgets on it,

and we got the Ferrari painted up
like the Italian flag.

She gave us an extra $18,000.

-Wow.
-Wow. That's nice.

-All total, all in…
-[Jake] Yeah?

…$123,000 for a Ferrari.

Yeah! Hey, you guys can thank me
for conga dancing.

Everybody's gonna get a little bit
of money in their pocket.

I hope you're all happy about that.

You guys don't mind a little extra cash?

I'm glad I got some money. Now I don't
have to live on your couch, Tony.

-That worked out good.
-Right. For both of us.

[all laughing]

So, I think it's time to think about what
our next build is going to be.

So I've been thinking about
the direction of this shop

and where it should go, and I think
it should go with the nostalgia builds

because they do well for the shop.

The clients are always stoked.
They let us have free range on everything.

We give them a piece of their childhood,
and they pay us a lot of money to do it,

and everybody has fun doing it.

Every single one of these cars
has always paid off very well.

That's the direction of Gotham Garage.

I think that's the future
we should go down.

Well, if that sentimental connection
keeps getting us a tip on payday,

then we're doing something right.

I like the nostalgia cars too.

We always have a ton of fun doing them.
The XNR was so fun, the Splittin' Image.

I'd definitely love to build
some of the cars from my childhood.

[Mark] So, everybody's on board with that?

-Yeah.
-Aye, Captain.

[Mark] Good to hear because Shawn's got
something he wants to tell you.

I think I got a deal
that you guys are gonna absolutely love.

We're going to trade this Humvee
for two picture cars.

[Jake] Really?

The first project car is

the Nautilus car from
The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen.

[Tony] What?

-[Caveman] No way!
-[Jake] No way!

-[Tony] Whoa!
-[Caveman] No, whoa!

Is that car ridiculous or what?

-You ever see one of those?
-Never.

They're like 40-foot long.

Do you know what that thing is worth done
if we fix it all up?

-More than this.
-Yeah, serious money.

-Hopefully three times more.
-[Shawn] And the other car?

Well, it's a bit of a surprise.

In fact, if you'll follow me outside,
I'll show you guys our next--

-It's here now?
-[Jake] Surprise?

-It's right out front here.
-[Jake] No way.

-You got an ice cream truck here?
-Is this the other half of the deal?

-[Constance] And…
-[Mark] How do you like that?

-[Tony] No way.
-[Shawn] You know what that car is?

-It's a '66 Crown Imperial, isn't it?
-Yeah, it is.

[Jake] So that's
the Green Hornet car, isn't it?

[Mark] It's the Black Beauty
from the Green Hornet.

-[Shawn] Close enough.
-So that's what we'll build.

-No way.
-Yeah.

We're gonna start
with a pretty darn good, clean car.

Where do you find a '66 this solid?

-[Tony] Does it run?
-[Shawn] Heck yeah, it runs.

[Mark] Everything works.
It's like the perfect car to start with.

-[Tony] Nice, it looks pretty good.
-I'm not seeing rust in the rockers.

-[Shawn] Not at all.
-[Mark] Nothing.

-[horn honks]
-It's got my approval.

Hey, somebody put some oil on that squeak
in the back seat.

[all laughing]

-Let's get it inside, get to work.
-[Shawn] Let's get this bad boy in.

-[Mark] All right, horses, giddy up.
-All right.

[Tony] This car sure
is heavier than it looks.

[Jake] Wait until we mount
all them g*ns on it.

[Caveman] Oh, now that'd be fun.

[Mark] Better than that, it gets missiles.

[Caveman] Oh yeah!

[all laughing]

[Caveman] Hey, I'm hungry.
Let's get something to eat.
