Quotes 

• Greed Scrounge : Well, it won't be long now. I checked the rules very carefully.

  Shade : And what did you come up with, Scrounge?

  Greed Scrounge : Something very interesting. So where in the rules says there are rules saying it's forbidden to interfere with the other drivers? Nowhere!

  Shade : Interesting!

  Arabian Racer : Also, it won't matter how the winner wins so long as he wins. Some drivers might try to be dishonest, it seems to me. It's not fair to cheat to win!

  Speed Racer : They might win, but they'd lose, too. They'd lose their honour.

  Shade : Their honour?

  Speed Racer : Sure! Who could be proud of winning if he cheated to win? It's not worth it. All the gold in the world isn't worth a man's honour. That's the most precious thing there is.

  Shade : Out of what stupid book did you get that stupid idea? Little Mister Goody over there thinks he's smart with ideas like that...

• Shade : I'm warning you, don't try to be smart!

  Greed Scrounge : I think he needs more than a warning! Give him what he needs, Shade!

  Shade : [gets ready to scrap]  That'll be a pleasure! All right, you talk about honor because you're too scared to do everything you can to win?

  Speed Racer : I'll win fair and square and no other way!

  Shade : Yeah, well that's not the way I'm going to beat you up!

  Speed Racer : Just remember, you started it!

  Shade : And I'm gonna finish it!
