Chapter 1: Prologue
Theo: You Know Dan, Everybody’s got One Thing, That Makes Them Happy.
Theo: One At A Time, Please?
Chet: Theo!
Theo: Oh, the handsome Is Really Back.
Chet: (Glares Softly) What are you Doing?
Theo: What I’ve Always Done, Stay Focus, Try on My Own Race, That’s All What You Gonna Do Next Question.
Chet: Can you please Go to Sleep? We’ve Got Work tomorrow.
Theo: Sleep, Are you kidding me, It Takes Hours To Come Down To The Race Like This.
Chet: Yeah Yeah, I Bet, Okay, (He tucks to his Shell on the plant)
(Theo chuckles as Chet said I bet okay)
Dan: Guý, You’re just a rookie starting out the Indy Lights, or you’re have a dream to stand here today?
Guý Gagnè: Well as my dear father always told me, No Dreams too big, and no dreamer.
Both: Too Small
Chet: Sleep!
(Theo groans as Chet tells him to sleep)
(Later, He crawls with a clothe that looks blue and takes it off)
Theo: (blows) Head in the game, Head in the Game, (blows)
(The clock changes into 2:00)
(Theo strains as he can’t go faster because snails are slow.)
(the clock changes into 20:1) (Theo pulls himself as he goes a little faster)
(After he makes it, He uses his eyestalk to slap the checkered line, he looks back at the clock as it changes to 2:17)
Theo: Yes! 17 Minutes, That’s a new record!
Theo: Whoo Hoo!
Chet: Theo!
(Chet yells at Theo to keep it down as he almost woke up the snails and humans known as neighbors.)
About
Any film about speed, just trying to capture what it looks like on screen is a challenge. Especially in a car race, as multiple cars are going 200mph, but when you put a camera alongside them, things actually slow down. You have to have relative things going by, and there are lots of tricks you have to learn to create that sensation of speed. And then, on top of that, there's a snail hopping around, and the scale issues that come out of that. That was very complex to figure out, but it's probably what makes the film.
