Ricky Bobby always had a dream. A dream to follow in the footsteps of his father, Reece Bobby... a semi-professional race car driver, amateur tattoo artist and all-round oxygen thief. So when fate puts him at the wheel of a NASCAR, he has the chance to make his dream a reality. For a while...
It's career day. A chance for a parent of each child in Ricky's class to give a talk on what they do for a living. Not great news for Ricky, to be honest.
Teacher
Okay, next up is Ricky Bobby. Ricky, is your father here?
Ricky Bobby
No, ma'am. I haven't seen my daddy in years. But my mama say he's out racing cars and, well, dipping his wick in anything that moves.
Clip 2
Reese Bobby has surprised Ricky by turning up. For the first time in ten years. And he's determined to make a good impression on his estranged son and his class-mates.
Reese Bobby
Excuse me, darling. I'm Reese Bobby. I'm here for career day with my son, Ricky.
Ricky Bobby
Dad!
Reese Bobby
Hey there, boy! Man, you got big. How long's it been? Three, four months?
Ricky Bobby
Ten years.
Reese Bobby
Ten years? Man, I gotta lay off the peyote.
Teacher
Mr. Bobby, there's no smoking in here.
Reese Bobby
Oh, it's all right, darlin', I'm a volunteer fireman. Okay, I am a semi-professional race car driver, and an amateur tattoo artist. And the first thing you gotta learn if you're gonna be a race car driver is you don't listen to losers like your know-it-all teacher here.
Teacher
Okay, I think that's enough.
Reese Bobby
Your teacher wants you to go slow, and she's wrong, because it's the fastest who gets paid and it's the fastest who gets laid.
[The kids start cheering with excitement]
Oh, yeah. You know what I'm talking about.
Clip 3
What kind of a monster signs their name on a baby's forehead with a Sharpie™? And what kind of a monster allows someone to do that to their baby?
Ricky Bobby
Absolutely, ma'am, I'd love to sign your baby.
[RICKY signs his name on the sleeping infant's forehead with a blue Sharpie™]
You're not gonna wanna wash that forehead.
Clip 4
Once you make it in NASCAR, you have the opportunity for sponsorship by advertising a wide variety of products. And Ricky Bobby likes to advertise ALL of them. Indiscriminately.
Ricky Bobby
I'm Ricky Bobby. Christmas is right around the corner and what better gift to give a loved one than the Jackhawk 9000? Available at Wal-Mart.
When you work on
your mysterious lady-part stuff, you should have the right tools, too. So that's why you should use... Maypax, the official tampon of NASCAR.
I'm Ricky Bobby. If you don't chew Big Red, then fu*k you!
[Tries to speak Japanese]
Prune candy.
Clip 5
Ricky says grace like I would imagine old people make love. Slowly and carefully. By the time this pr**k has finished, your dinner will be cold and your guests will have left!
Ricky Bobby
I just want to take time to say thank you for my family... my two beautiful, beautiful, handsome, striking sons... Walker and Texas Ranger... or T.R., as we call him... and of course, my red-hot smoking wife, Carley... who is a stone-cold fox. Who, if you were to rate her ass on a hundred, it would easily be a ninety-four. Also wanna thank you for my best friend and team-mate, Cal Naughton Jr who's got my back no matter what.
Cal Naughton Jr.
Shake and Bake!
Ricky Bobby
Dear Lord baby Jesus, we also thank you for my wife's father, Chip. We hope that you can use your baby Jesus powers to heal him and his horrible leg. And it smells terrible and the dogs are always bothering with it. Dear tiny infant Jesus...
Clip 6
Families should eat together. Time around the table is time to catch up, share stories, laugh... but if you're at Ricky's house, it's a cluster-fu*k. An absolute, unmitigated car crash.
Walker
Dad, you made that grace your b**ch.
Carley Bobby
Hey, boys, I wanna see some napkins in the lap.
Ricky Bobby
Boys, how was school today?
Walker
I threw a bunch of Grandpa Chip's war medals off the bridge.
Ricky Bobby
Sounds like a good day. Texas Ranger, how about you?
Texas Ranger
Well, the teacher asked me what was the capital of North Carolina. I said, "Washington, D.C."
Cal Naughton Jr.
Bingo.
Ricky Bobby
Nice.
Texas Ranger
She said, "No, you're wrong." I said, "You got a lumpy butt." She got mad at me and yelled at me and I p*ssed in my pants. And I never did change my pee pants all day. I'm still sitting in my dirty pee pants.
Cal Naughton Jr.
I wet my bed until I was nineteen. There's no shame in that.
Clip 7
I was raised to respect my elders. All decent people are. Sadly, Ricky hasn't instilled those values in his ridiculously named sons. They're at liberty to abuse and berate their elderly grandfather.
Chip
I can't hold my tongue. These kids are my grandchildren, and you are raising them wrong. They are terrible boys.
Walker
Shut up, Chip, or I'll go ape-sh*t on your ass!
Texas Ranger
I'm gonna scissor-kick you in the back of the head.
Cal Naughton Jr.
Yeah!
Ricky Bobby
Yeah. Turn up the heat.
Cal Naughton Jr.
Go on and get some, boys.
Ricky Bobby
C'mon!
Walker
I'm ten years old, but I'll beat your ass.
Texas Ranger
Chip, I'm gonna come at you like a spider monkey.
Cal Naughton Jr.
Like a spider monkey! Go on.
Ricky Bobby
Chip, you brought this on, man.
Walker
The greatest generation, my ass. Tom Brokaw is a punk.
Chip
What is wrong with you?
Texas Ranger
Chip, I'm all jacked up on Mountain Dew.
Clip 8
Two of Ricky's pit crew, Glenn and Kyle are discussing what to get the former's grandmother for her eighty-eighth birthday. The latter's two suggestions are pretty twisted.
Glenn
So I was talking to Nana on Saturday, and her birthday's coming up but I don't know what to get her. She's gonna be eighty-eight.
Kyle
Get her a coffin... get her a gigolo.
Glenn
What?
Kyle
A guy to have sex with her.
Glenn
No, she's gonna be eighty-eight and -
Kyle
You don't stop liking sex when you're old.
Glenn
Well, I was thinking more along the line of, um... like, she likes afghans and quilts.
Kyle
She's probably got a million of those in the closet. How many dudes does she have coming over to have sex with her?
Glenn
None.
Kyle
Exactly. Be thoughtful, Glenn.
Clip 9
Oh, I just love it when patriots from different countries get together to argue about whose homeland is the greatest. There's a word for them, isn't there. What is it, again? Oh yes. D*CKS!
Jean Girard
I am French.
Ricky Bobby
You say you're French?
Jean Girard
Oui.
Ricky Bobby
We? No, we are not French. We're American, because you're in America, okay? Greatest country on the planet.
Jean Girard
Well, what have you given the world, apart from George Bush, Cheerios, and the ThighMaster?
Ricky Bobby
Chinese food?
Cal Naughton Jr.
Chinese food.
Jean Girard
That's from China.
Ricky Bobby
Pizza.
Jean Girard
Italy.
Cal Naughton Jr.
Chimichanga.
Jean Girard
Mexico.
Ricky Bobby
Really, smarty-pants? What did French land give us?
Jean Girard
We invented democracy, existentialism, and the blowjob.
Cal Naughton Jr.
Those are three pretty good things.
Ricky Bobby
Hey.
Cal Naughton Jr.
Well, that last one's pretty cool.
Jean Girard
And the soixante-neuf. You know, the sixty-nine, with the head near the... that bit. We came up with it.
Hershell
We created the missionary position. You're welcome.
Clip 10
Don't you just love these naff collage pieces that sports channels run as a "getting to know the sportsman" exercise? Well, at least this one was candidly honest, I suppose.
V/O
Talented. Eccentric. Dominating. These are the words that define Jean Girard. Before each race, Jean Girard spends time with his world-class horses... who are also gay. Jean's days are filled with sun-drenched walks with his beloved husband, Gregory. Though Gregory is no stay-at-home spouse. He's a world-class trainer of German shepherds.
[We see GREGORY directing six dogs into a pyramid]
Rolfe
Rolfe, the Nazi boyfriend. Up on top! Very nice. Very nice.
V/O
Only time will tell if Jean's foray into NASCAR will end up in Victory Lane.
Clip 11
Did the commentator need to qualify this remark. I mean, we all know what, "sitting on the pole" means in motorsport circles, right? In the lead. First place. Pole position. Not... bum fun.
Commentator
Ladies and gentlemen, that is a new track record. As it stands now, Jean Girard is sitting on the pole, which is, of course a statement of fact and in no way a comment on the driver's sexual orientation.
Clip 12
Okay. I'm confused. Cal did a nude centre-fold spread for Playgirl, right? But why did he have to spread his ass cheeks for the photograph? What woman is going to find that erotic?!
Cal Naughton Jr.
Hey, Ricky. It's me, Cal. Just want you to know, I got your back, bro. No matter what. There's something I want to get off my chest and it's about that summer when you went away to community college. I got an offer to do Playgirl magazine... and I did it. I did a full spread for Playgirl magazine. I mean spread, man. I pulled my butt apart and stuff and I was totally nude, and it was weird. You probably didn't hear about it because I went under the name of Mike Honcho. But I just wanted you to know that. If you could hear me, if it got into your brain somehow that I spread my butt cheeks as Mike Honcho.
Clip 13
Word to the wise, Ricky. People on public transport are NOT interested in making casual conversation. Just sit in silence, reading the same poster over and over again like us normal people, will ya?!
Ricky Bobby
Hey. I lost my licence. That's why I'm on the bus. I'm delivering pizzas.
Bus Passenger
Motherfu*ker, what makes you think I care? Shut the fu*k up!
Clip 14
I don't condone physical chastisement of children. Not usually. But when it comes to these little fu*kers? I think they're both in need of a good, old-fashioned C*ckney dry-slap.
Walker
Shut up in here! I'm trying to sleep!
Texas Ranger
One of you turds is about to get smacked in the mouth!
Ricky Bobby
Hey, stop yelling at me, okay?
Clip 15
I think the Bobby family might be what we were probably once allowed to call, "white trailer trash." but in these woke times, I suspect I'd offend white trailer trash by using that term.
Ricky Bobby
What do you care about me or us? I mean, hell... you never even met your grandkids.
Texas Ranger
What are you looking at, Popeye?
Reese Bobby
You shut up, you little pot-licker. I'll put you in a microwave. Now, you show me the DNA test, and then maybe I'll, uh... I'll say hello to these swamp rats.
Frank (Neighbour)
You people shut the hell up! I got a wife in an oxygen tent trying to sleep.
Reese Bobby
You better shut up or I'll come over there and rip a hole in that tent.
Lucy Bobby
Yeah, shut up, Frank!
Walker
Go shave your balls, you dusty old fart!
Reese Bobby
Okay, I guess they are my grandkids.
Clip 16
Lucy has a love / hate relationship with her grandchildren. They love to hate each other. So when they misbehave and she has them on highway litter-picking duty, the anger pours out.
Texas Ranger
I gotta tell you, Granny, this blows.
Walker
How much more of this?
Lucy Bobby
I don't know. How many more times are you gonna toss me the radio in the bathtub?
