Fast Layne (2019–…): Season 1, Episode 2 - Paid to Drive - full transcript
Layne:
Previously on Fast Layne...
I get the feeling
we shouldn't touch that.
No, I'm gonna push it.
(screams)
Zora:
Are you okay?
VIN:
What took you so long?!
The car just talked.
My name's VIN.
This thing is alive?
VIN: You're inside the most
sophisticated self-driving
car in the world!
-(tires squeal)
-Zora: We're 12,
and we're driving!
She means the car
is driving!
I saw you in that car.
No, you're paranoid!
Layne:
DNA recognized?
Why are you
connected to this car?
I have no idea.
-Layne: DNA recognized?
-(car computer beeping)
How does this thing
know my DNA?
VIN:
Who cares?
We're connected!
We can do a ton
of cool stuff together.
Like go driving...
or go faster driving!
This makes no sense.
I wish my hand worked.
Look at all this stuff
it can do!
Monster truck tires?
Layne:
Zora, don't!
VIN:
Whoa! My feet are huge!
Let's go crush stuff!
This is too weird.
VIN:
Hey! I was havin' fun!
Really?
You're just gonna leave?
This is kinda
your car.
My car?
I didn't ask
for my hand print
to activate
a crazy talking car.
So you're just gonna leave
because you have flyers
to print.?
Yes, I've got flyers to print.
And a life to get back to!
One that doesn't involve
high-speed car chases.
VIN:
Layne, you can't leave!
We're connected!
You gotta stay!
Sorry, VIN...
I should probably
go with her.
Aw! Not you too,
Zor-Zora!
Uh-oh...
I don't feel so good.

Come on...
I gotta get this thing off.
Oh! Hey guys!
I, uh, wasn't
trying to escape...
Okay, I was.
But hey! You're back!
Woo-hoo!
Whoa!
All right, listen.
I'm not here because
I want to be,
I'm here because
I have to be.
I'm here 'cause
I wanna be.
Puzzles, podcasts, books...
if I start 'em,
I finish 'em.
Once,
I missed my own
sixth birthday
to finish a game
of Monopoly.
VIN:
Ohh!
We're gonna
play a game?
(sighs)
You're not listening.
I'm here to figure out
why you have my DNA
so I can get back
to my life.
Zora:
That's it?!
You won
the super-car lottery,
and you're just gonna
throw the ticket away?
Exactly.
VIN, tell me
everything you know
about the people
who built you.
Uh, like I said, it was
a couple of dudes
wearing goggles,
lab coats...
(gasps)
Hold on...
they had noses!
Yes!
Definitely noses!
Does that help?
Oh, totally.
We're looking for
"two dudes with noses."
-Yep!
-VIN, it was a joke.
I love jokes!
Let me play it again.
Layne:
We're looking for
"two dudes with noses."
(laughs)
I don't get it.
You have microphones.
Yeah!
So, that must mean
you have cameras, too?
Bumper cam, side cams,
dash cam, I got all the cams.
I record everything.
Hi, Zora!
Then there must be
a clue in your video log
to whoever built you.
On it.
Pulling it up.
(security tape rewinds)
Noses...
those must be
the dudes.
I'm glitching,
losing tertiary functions.
VIN's losing his
tushie functions!
VIN:
It's my ECU.
Under my bumper.
Careful,
my rear-end's kinda hot.
-VIN: Layne, how's it look?
-Ehh...
-Not good.
-Ouchie...
This is bad.
My ECU runs a security check
every day at 5 o'clock.
If it's damaged,
my memory gets wiped.
I'll lose everything!
Including your video logs.
I'll never get to figure out
who made him.
And I'll have to wait
till I'm 16 to get a car.
Okay, here's what
we gotta do.
Remember Cody?
That cute boy
at the auto shop?
I bet he can
get us the part.
We'll go first thing
tomorrow morning.

-What?
-You said, "cute boy."
No, I didn't.
I do not think
he's cute.

Morning, Aunt Betty.
Uh, have you heard
from my parents?
They texted,
they're in a seminar
all day.
Everything okay?
Uh, yep, off to
the library to study!
On a Sunday?
Get it, girl.
(chuckles)
Get it, girl!
Ooh, before you go,
try a fancy cheese ball.
I think I finally
found my calling.
It's good!
-Yeah?
-Yeah!
Don't forget
your backpack.
I didn't look
through it.
So great
having you here.
So... when exactly
will you get home?
Mel...
do not go
into my room.
Oh, I wouldn't
think of it.
Have a great time
at the library.
Which is closed...
on... Sunday.
Layne:
I, Layne Reed, lied
about going to the library.
I feel like a fugitive.
I know...
isn't this fun?!
We should have
code names.
I'll be "Scorpion."
And you can be...
"Lady Snow Eagle."

"Lady Snow Eagle"?

Hey, Lady Snow Eagle!
Little reminder,
I only have six hours
before my entire brain
gets wiped.
We know, VIN.
We're on our way
to get you fixed.
VIN:
Good, 'cause this
is kind of your fault.
My fault?!
You're the one
that tricked us into
going on that joyride.
VIN:
And did you not have joy
on that ride?
No! No joy was had.
I just wanna figure out
this mystery,
and go our
separate ways.
Ha! That's funny.
'Cause I just wanna
figure out this mystery,

Guys, chill.
You fight like

No, we don't.
Alonzo:
Schedule alert.
Pass out
campaign flyers

Campaign?
So, what're you
running for?
School president.
Cool...
I'm vice president
of my school.
Zora,
you're homeschooled.
It's just you.
Why not be president?
Too much pressure.
VIN:
Okay, then!
Zora:
So, who's your
competition?
Uh, you don't know him.
It's this eighth-grader
named Jasper Marr.

prove she's not.
I searched her premises.
Jocko:
So you... trashed her room?
