Mike Brannan:
You figure on doing another column on me?
Regina Forbes: You're only worth a couple of lines now.
Mike Brannan: Well, don't write 'em! I've been risking my neck with this outfit.
Regina Forbes: I hope they pay you well.
Mike Brannan: A hundred bucks a show, and I've been saving every dime. I'm gonna drive with the big cars now, and what you wrote about me doesn't go with them. So I'm warning you. Lay off me in the future.
Regina Forbes: [Amused] You're warning me?
Mike Brannan: You better listen to what I'm saying, or I'll knock that smile off your face!
Regina Forbes: [She laughs at him] Knock it off.
[He slaps her]
Regina Forbes: That's just about what I expect from you.
Mike Brannan: The guys you run around with wouldn't do that, would they? Well, it's time somebody roughed you up a little! I can handle you, baby. You're just another dame to me!
[He grabs her suddenly, kisses her, and leaves for his car. She looks after him with a subtle smile indicating she enjoyed it]
Regina Forbes: [In awe of the Indianapolis track] Mike, I've never seen anything like this. It's terrific!
Mike Brannan: So are you.
Regina Forbes: It's like the 4th of July, and a heavyweight fight, and the World Series all rolled into one... Now I can see it takes a certain kind of guy...
Mike Brannan: [after a brief pause] ... and that guy needs a certain kind of dame.
Regina Forbes: Mike, could we start all over?
Mike Brannan: Hey, baby, what we had never stopped.
