Quotes 

• Trixie : Oh my god, was that a ninja?

  Pops Racer : More like a NON-ja. Terrible what passes for a ninja these days.

• Pops Racer : You think you can drive a car and change the world? It doesn't work like that!

  Speed : Maybe not, but it's the only thing I know how to do and I gotta do something.

• Pops Racer : That show's in German.

  Spritle : Not the monkey parts.

• Pops Racer : [to Speed]  I admit, I went to Cortega because I was afraid that what happened to Rex was gonna happen to you, and I just couldn't take that. But what I realized at Cortega... was I didn't lose Rex when he crashed. I lost him here. I let him think that a stupid motor company meant more to me than he did. You'll never know how much I regret that mistake. It's enough I'll never make it again. Speed, I understand that every child has to leave home. But I want you to know, that door is always open. You can always come back. 'Cause I love you.

• Pops Racer : I couldn't have been more proud of you, son. Not because you won, but because you stood up, you weren't afraid, and you did what you thought was right.

  Speed : It didn't amount to anything. It was completely meaningless.

  Pops Racer : How could it be meaningless? I saw my son become a man. I watched a man with courage and integrity drive the pants off of every other driver on that road. This is not meaningless. This is the reason for a father's life.

• Pops Racer : [to Spritle]  Get some exercise. You're too pale!

• Pops Racer : This is abso...

  Speed : ...lutely crazy!

• Pops Racer : You want a real kick? You go Bernoulli.

• Pops Racer : [to Speed]  God, you sound like Rex! You wanna die like him, too? Will that make you happy?

• Pops Racer : Inspector Detector.

  Inspector Detector : Good morning, Mr. Racer. I know it's been a long time.

  Pops Racer : Ten years.
