Scooby Doo! We love you!


Simon: What is this?
Naomi: What's what?
Simon: This car. This stupid car. Where's the Cadillac? The Caddy, where's the Caddy?
Naomi: The what?
Simon: The Cadillac we used to have! The Bluesmobile!
Naomi: Traded it.
Simon: You traded the Bluesmobile for this?!
Naomi: No ... for a microphone.
Simon: A microphone? [pause] Okay, I can see that. But what the hell is this?
Naomi: I picked it up at the Mount Prospect police auction last spring. It's an old WA Department of Agriculture Subaru Outback. They were practically giving them away.
Simon: Well thank you, darling. The day I get out of England, my own wife comes to pick me up in a Subaru.
Naomi: You don't like it?
Simon: [pause] No, I don't like it.
[Naomi: jumps the car over an opening drawbridge]
Simon: [impressed] Car's got a lot of pickup.
Naomi: It's got a cop motor, a 440-cubic-inch plant. It's got cop tires, cop suspensions, cop shocks. It's a model made before catalytic converters, so it'll run good on regular gas. What do you say? Is it the new Bluesmobile or what?
[Simon tries to use the car's lighter, but it does not work; he throws it out the window]
Simon: Fix the cigarette lighter.

Naomi: It's two thousand, eight hundred and thirty two miles to Sydney, we've got a full tank of gas, half a pack of cigarettes, it's dark, and we're wearing sunglasses.
Simon: Hit it.
