Talladega Nights: The Ballad Of Ricky Bobby Quotes

 Jean Girard:
[has Ricky in an arm lock] I will let you go, Ricky. But first, I want you to say..."I... love... crepes."
Cal Naughton, Jr.:
Don't you say it, Ricky. These colors don't run.
Ricky Bobby:
I'm not gonna say it.
Cal Naughton, Jr.:
Good.
Ricky Bobby:
Hey, look, Frenchy, I thought about it. So why don't you go ahead and break my arm?
Jean Girard:
I do not want to break your arm, Monsieur Bobby, but I am a man of my word.
Ricky Bobby:
Here's the deal. He's not gonna break it because I'm gonna slip out of it right now. Houdini! [he tries unsuccessfully to get free]
Jean Girard:
Whoa! Get down, you little pancake.
Ricky Bobby:
Someone might as well get me a beer while I'm down here.
Jean Girard:
But you have forced me to do this. You are now mocking me and making me look ridiculous. Just say, "I love crepes."
Cal Naughton, Jr.:
You know, just to put this in there, I had a whole mess of crepes this morning. They're just like pancakes, maybe even better.
Ricky Bobby:
Wait, are they the really thin pancakes?
Cal Naughton, Jr.:
Yeah.
Jean Girard:
Yes they are. They are the really thin pancakes. It's just a French word for them.
Ricky Bobby:
Oh, my god, I love those.
Cal Naughton, Jr.:
Put any syrups you want on them. I'm just saying, think about it.
Ricky Bobby:
They come with cheese sometimes?
Jean Girard:
Yes, of course, a fromage-crepe.
Ricky Bobby:
Well, why didn't someone yell that right-right away?
Jean Girard:
Do you know what's in the crepe suzette?
Ricky Bobby:
Oh, I love the crepe suzette.
Jean Girard:
With the sugar and lemon juice...
Ricky Bobby:
Yeah, the sugar and the lemon juice. Sure.
Jean Girard:
Grand Marnier.
Ricky Bobby:
I wo - I wish I could crawl into one of those right now. I'd eat my way out from the inside.
 

 
[on why Ricky should resume his racing career]
Susan:
It's because it's what you love, Ricky. It is who you were born to be. And here you sit, thinking. Well, Ricky Bobby is not a thinker. Ricky Bobby is a driver. He is a doer. And that's what you need to do. You don't need to think. You need to drive. You need speed. You need to go out there, and you need to rev your engine. You need to fire it up. You need to grab a hold of that line between speed and chaos, and you need to wrestle it to the ground like a demon cobra! And then, when the fear rises up in your belly, you use it. And you know that fear is powerful, because it has been there for billions of years. And it is good. And you use it. And you ride it; you ride it like a skeleton horse through the gates of hell, and then you win, Ricky. You WIN! And you don't win for anybody else. You win for you, you know why? Because a man takes what he wants. He takes it all. And you're a man, aren't you? Aren't you?
Ricky Bobby:
[pauses] Susan, I've never heard you talk like that... Are we about to get it on? Because I'm as hard as a diamond in an ice storm right now.
 

 Ricky Bobby:
Hey! It's me, America!

 Reese Bobby:
[walks into the classroom] Excuse me, darling. I'm Reese Bobby. I'm here for career day with my son, Ricky.
10-year-old Ricky:
Dad!
Reese Bobby:
Hey there, boy! Man, you got big. How long's it been? Three, four months?
10-year-old Ricky:
Ten years.
Reese Bobby:
Ten years? Man, I gotta lay off the peyote. [puts a cigarette in his mouth]
Schoolteacher:
Mr. Bobby, there's no smoking in here.
Reese Bobby:
Oh, it's all right, darling, I'm a volunteer fireman. Okay, I am a semi-professional racecar driver and an amateur tattoo artist.
Classmates:
OOO0HHHH!
Reese Bobby:
And the first thing you gotta learn if you're gonna be a racecar driver, is that you don't listen to losers like your know-it-all teacher here.
Schoolteacher:
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 get paid and it's the fastest who get laid. [classmates all cheer]
