"Okay. Red Bull, Ferrari, Mercedes, Aston, now McLaren, all have us beat on the straights. Our shot is battling in the turns. We need to build our car for combat."

"I'm offering you an open seat in Formula One. The only place you could say if you win, you are the absolute best in the world."

"They're saying Sonny Hayes isn't a has-been. He's a never-was."

"Listen, let's get this straight. We all lose our jobs if you can't pull off a miracle. The only question here is, Why did Sonny Hayes come back to F1?"

"When you look in a mirror, you see this rough and tumble old school cowboy. Doesn't take orders, goes his own way, huh? A lone wolf. Well, I have news for you. Formula One is a team sport. It always was."

"You're making a mistake, thinking that I'm gonna be some grateful kid who'll bend a knee to an old-timer."

"We just gotta hope for some lucky breaks."

"I think it's wonderful that Apex is giving second chances to the elderly."

"It's rare, but sometimes, there's this moment in the car where everything goes quiet, my heartbeat slows, it's peaceful, and I can see everything, and no one, no one can touch me. And I am chasing that moment every time I get in the car. I don't know when I'll find it again, but, man, I want to. I want to. 'Cause in that moment, I'm flying."

"Hope is not a strategy. Create your own breaks."

"Drive fast."

"Three laps! Three laps is a lifetime!"

"I'm told you're looking for a driver."

"It's the last thing I do is drive that car. I will take that life man a thousand times."

"There's twenty other drivers still out on that track. You think any of them respect us?"

"It's all right. You're just worried I'm quicker than you. Hi, I'm Sonny."

"I can provide for myself just fine."

"Time flies when you're working your ass off."

"Robert Wuhl - Marty"

"Dwayne, you can get through college half-assed. Richard, you can get through LIFE half-assed. But I'll guarantee you boys one thing: sure as hell, I'll guarantee you this: you cannot win half-assed!"

"Think, think, think! It's the thinking man's game!"

"You took the purest thing in your life and corrupted it, for what? For what?"

"Boys, the rules don't make much sense. But I believe in the rules. Some of us broke them. I broke them. I can't do this. I can't win like this."

"Y'know, I'll tell you something else. Y'know, someplace, someplace in America right now, there's some 10 year old kid. He's out there on that playground, and he's playin', he's dribbling between his legs, he's goin' left, he's goin' right, he's already above the rim, he's stuffin' it home. You know what's gonna happen to this kid? Five minutes from now, he's gonna be surrounded by agents, corporate sponsors and coaches. Y'know, people like me. Just drooling over this kid because he holds our future employment in his hands. I mean, that's what we've made this game. That's what we've done. Y'know, the best coaching job I ever did, that wasn't tonight. It was last season. Y'know, when we were 14 and 50 and we had a losing season. But goddamnit, those kids, they gave me their hearts! They gave me everything they had! They played up to the maximum of their ability! They gave it everything! And y'know, it wasn't good enough! It wasn't good enough for me, it wasn't good enough for you, it wasn't good enough for anybody! That's pathetic. I mean, that's really pathetic. I've become what I despise. And, y'know, I cheated my profession. Cheated myself. I cheated basketball. There's two words I didn't think'd ever come out of my mouth. I didn't think I'd ever be able to say 'em. [a long pause as he regains his composure] I quit."
