[during the Le Mans race]
Leo Beebe: I was thinking, Mr. Ford. Wouldn’t it be great if all three Fords lined up across the finish line at the exact same time? They’ll lined up and came home together. Ford, Ford, Ford.
Lee Iacocca: I don’t think we can actually do that, sir.
Leo Beebe: Why not?
Lee Iacocca: Miles is laps ahead, Leo. What would you have him do, slow down?
Leo Beebe: Yeah.

[referring to Ford]
Carroll Shelby: They want you to slow down.
Ken Miles: Run that by me again.
Carroll Shelby: They want you to slow down. You’re outshining their car, Ken. You’re four minutes up on McLaren. The Deuce wants the three Fords across the finish line, one, two, three, all together. They’re asking that you be a team player, and make that photograph happen for them.
Ken Miles: A photograph, that’s good. That is good!
Carroll Shelby: Ken, even if you tie for first, you’d still be the first man ever to win Sebring, Daytona, and Le Mans in the same year. You’ll have a triple crown.
Carroll Shelby: Look, I didn’t get… I haven’t been able to get you to follow an order since day one. Whatever you want to do is fine with me.
Ken Miles: My choice?
Carroll Shelby: Your choice.

[during the Le Mans race]
Leo Beebe: Bring him in, right now! He’s out of control! Now you bring him in, before he wrecks that car and we don’t finish! Bring him in, Shelby. Or I will get you banned from the SCCA and the FIA.
Carroll Shelby: Ken Miles is behind the wheel, Leo. That’s his car to the finish.

ON THE TRACK
Miles in total control. On the Mulsanne straight, opens it up. The trees strobe. Miles goes faster. Faster.

IN THE LE MANS COMMITTEE
BEEBE: What the hell is he doing?
Beebe crosses to the phone. Dials furiously.

IN THE PIT. THE PHONE RINGS.
Carroll Smith crosses to answer. Shelby glares:
SHELBY: Do not answer that.

ON THE TRACK
Miles slingshots into the final straight at 232MPH. MILES is flying now. Man and machine as one...

IN THE CAR
Miles smiles and begins his final maneuver. Passing one, two, three, four, five cars..

IN THE PITS
Shelby watches as Miles navigates the hairpin. Remington stares at his stopwatch. Charlie looks over his shoulder.
CHARLIE: ...he’s gonna break his own record.
REMINGTON: Shut up.

ON SHELBY, CLOSE:
SHELBY: Wait for it. Wait for it. Hold hold.
(Then)
Now.
