Jim Douglas: [trying to think of any clue of where Herbie and the Lancia could be, but Diane misunderstands him and thinks that he is trying to be fresh with her] Where would you take a boyfriend on his first night to Paris?

Wheely Applegate: [about a French man's response to a racing story he just told him] I didn't understand what he was saying.

Wheely Applegate: [about Jim and Herbie the car] Don't let his modesty or this little car coming out of retirement fool you. There isn't a finer tuned cleaner engine anywhere.

Bruno Von Stickle: I'm sure it should be easy to keep clean. All you got to do is drop it in the washing machine, along with your socks.

Wheely Applegate: Appreciate your humor. But just don't you worry about this little washing machi - ...
[Jim elbows him]

Wheely Applegate: - car!
[Von Sticle cracks up at his slip of tongue]

Wheely Applegate: It's a REAL JEWEL!

Movie: Monte Carlo
Wheely Applegate: All taken care of, Jim. Had a little talk with Herbie. Had to straighten him out. I don't mind having a car that's got a heart, but I will not tolerate a car falling in love with another car.

Jim Douglas: What did you expect him to fall in love with? The Goodyear blimp?

Wheely Applegate: The Goodyear - - Yeah.
[laughs]

Wheely Applegate: Anyway, I said "Listen Herbie, we're over here for one thing and one thing only. And that's to make the biggest comeback in racing history. So, no women in training camp. You just forget that little chick, and you can do it. Just a matter of mind over metal."

[Max, on the phone at a phone booth, panicking of telling him his news about progress of attempting to get back their stolen diamond]

Max: Double X? Uh, yeah. I'm afraid we- we- we've had another complication.

Insp. Bouchet: [through the phone] I'm beginning to think that you're the complication!
[now showing him at his office]

Insp. Bouchet: [nearly yells it through the phone, but suddenly realizes his receptionist just across the glass wall, and gets his voice down and addresses the diamond in a way, so he couldn't hear him talking about the diamond in a way that reveals any clue that he is behind the diamond robbery] THAT- That item should have been in my hands by now!

Max: [through the phone] Oh, don't worry, sir. It's still in the gas tank.

Insp. Bouchet: Then bring me the gas tank! What are you waiting for?

Max: [shown on the phone at the phone booth] We've lost them again, sir. We don't know where they are.

[Wheely and Jim are dusussing to each other about females]

Wheely Applegate: They never say what they mean. That's what makes the female the species deadlier than the male.

Jim Douglas: You read that some place?
