Speed Racer (1967–1968): Season 1, Episode 3 - Challenge of the Masked Racer: Part 1 - full transcript
Speed's first encounter with Racer X, a mysterious masked driver who is rumored to cause car crashes whenever he races.
Here he comes,
here comes Speed Racer
He's a demon on wheels
He's a demon and he's gonna
be chasing after someone
He's gaining on you so
you better look alive
He's busy revving up
the powerful Mach 5
And when the odds
are against him
And there's dangerous
work to do
You bet your life Speed Racer
will see it through
Go, Speed Racer
Go, Speed Racer
Go, Speed Racer, go!
He's off and flying as he guns
the car around the track
He's jamming down the pedal
like he's never coming back
Adventure's waiting
just ahead
Go, Speed Racer
Go, Speed Racer
Go, Speed Racer, go!
Oh! There's the ocean
up ahead, Speed!
[SPEED] Mm-hm!
(BOTH gasp)
Look up there!
Isn't that the
Masked Racer's car
being unloaded from the ship?
[sniffs]
This means there'll
be trouble in the race.
Every time that Masked
Racer's been in a race,
there've been crashes.
So there may be some more today!
But that's really why I came.
[MAN A] I heard that sometimes
he causes the cars to crash.
[WOMAN A] But nobody's
been able to prove that.
Well, maybe this time,
we can catch him at it.
So let's keep a close
look at him, hm?
He looks mysterious in that
mask and sort of handsome.
He drives faster than a rocket
and he won the Grand Prix at
Le Mans four years in a row.
He's won just about every
race he's ever entered.
No kidding.
He's raced against some of
the top racers in the world,
and he's beaten 'em
just like that!
I hope I get to see what
he really looks like.
Sorry, but nobody's
ever seen him.
And they don't know his
name or where he's from.
Masked Racer? Who do you
think'll win the big race?
Do you think any of the cars
will crash in the race today?
Ah-hah... You won't
tell us then, huh?
[MAN B] H-Hold it, Masked Racer.
Let me get another shot.
[GENTLEMAN chuckles]
[MAN C] Hey!
We've got more questions!
Well... He didn't give us
very much information.
[GENTLEMAN] Move aside!
Mr. Masked Racer,
my name is Wiley.
And I'm on the committee
of the Trans Country Race.
I'd like to talk to
you for a few minutes,
if you've got the time.
--[tires screech]
--[WILEY gasps]
Oh...
[GENTLEMAN B] A thousand
smackers! What do ya say?
[POPS] Hmph.
Mr. Racer, every penny
of that can be yours.
[SPRITLE] Hmm, we could
buy a lotta candy!
We could buy all the
candy in the world!
[CHIM CHIM gibbers]
[GENTLEMAN B] My Alpha
Team has got to win
the great Trans Country race!
With the Masked Racer in the race,
my team won't have a chance
unless you let your son,
Speed Racer, join my boys.
With him on our side, we'd be
able to beat any other team.
[POPS] Hmph.
[GENTLEMAN B]
Two thousand smackers!
Huh? Wow!
[CHIM CHIM gibbers]
[GENTLEMAN B] Well? Will you let
Speed Racer on the
Alpha Team for 2,0007?
[GENTLEMAN C chuckles]
[GENTLEMAN B] Huh?!
What's funny, huh?
Why're you laughing?
What're you laughing about?!
[SPRITLE] Heh, something's
funny, I guess!
What's funny?!
I'm laughing because you're
offering only a measly 2,000
to Mr. Racer so Speed
will race on your team,
while I'll pay 3,000 for
him to be on my team!
[GENTLEMAN B] Hmm...
[POPS] Hm.
Well, how about it, Mr. Racer?
I'll pay $3,000.
Ooh!
And here it is.
[GENTLEMAN B] Huh?
[GENTLEMAN C] I'll even
throw in an extra 50 cents.
Hm!
[laughs]
Only 3,000?
I'll make it four.
How 'bout it, Mr. Racer?
Oh, boy! The price is
gettin' better and better!
I hope it keeps goin' up!
I'm willing to make it
5,000 and 50 cents.
There!
The sky must be the limit.
Keep holdin' out, Pops.
Maybe they'll offer a million!
[GENTLEMAN B] Ten thousand!
Wow! They're still goin' up!
[GENTLEMAN C] Twenty
thousand and 50 cents.
[GENTLEMAN B] I'll top that!
I'lll make it 50,000, okay? Huh?
Keep the money!
Speed won't be on either
one of your teams!
Too bad! Now we won't be
able to buy any candy!
[TRIXIE] The Masked Racer
has a very good chance
of winning the Trans Country
Race, hasn't he, Speed?
[SPEED] Uh-huh, I suppose so.
But would he really win?
What are you hinting?
What about you being in the race?
Oh...
Why not enter it, Speed?
I'm sure you're the only one
who could beat the Masked Racer.
Maybe I am, but maybe I'm not.
Anyway, we'll never know
because I'm not racing.
[TRIXIE] Wouldn't ya for me?
[SPEED] Huh?
As a special favor for me?
Oh, but it'll make my
father angry, Trixie.
If I know him, he'll calm down
once he sees you're going to win.
[BOTH laugh]
Well, Speed, I'm gonna win.
[TRIXIE] Hmph!
I just signed up with Mr.
Fixer of the Alpha Racing Team.
We have more spirit
and the fastest cars,
so how can we lose?
We're gonna beat
the Masked Racer!
We're gonna win the big race!
Too bad your father
didn't take all that money
Mr. Fixer offered for
you to join the Alpha Team.
Well, I'll see ya after I win.
[SPEED] Good luck, Slick.
Ooh!
[TRIXIE] He deserves to lose!
[TV] And now,
for the world of sports.
The famous Trans Country Auto
Race will be starting very soon.
The race, one of the most grueling
and dangerous in the world,
will be run over a
course of 300 miles.
Participating will be some
of the top champions
in the sport of motor racing.
Let me introduce a few
of the most famous
to our viewing audience.
Here is the top driver for the
Alpha Team, Mr. Zoomer Slick.
He's in it?!
[laughs]
[ANNOUNCER] And this isriver X,
known throughout the world
as the Masked Racer.
He has been known to bring
bad luck to many races.
He may be known to bring
bad luck to races,
but he's one of the best
drivers I've ever seen.
[ANNOUNCER] In addition
to the Masked Racer,
one of the top contenders
and a last-minute entry
is a newcomer, Speed Racer.
Huh?
[SPRITLE] Speed!
--[CHIM CHIM laughs]
--[MOM gasps]
[ANNOUNCER] Speed, who has
raced in very few meets so far,
will enter this race
driving the Mach 5,
a special racing car designed
by his father, Pops Racer.
The race is expected to be
a close competition
between Speed and
the Masked Racer.
You're not supposed
to be in the race!
Here we go again,
Pops blowing another gasket.
Speed, I don't want you in that race.
Under no circumstances
are you to enter.
Understand?!
Now, dear!
Here we go, Pops'll change his mind.
[POPS] I'm only trying to
do what's best for you, son.
You don't have enough
skill and experience yet
to race against the Masked Racer.
It requires the utmost
technical skill.
Sharp and well-trained
reflexes are necessary
over every inch of
that racing course.
Let me tell you about
your older brother, Rex,
who left home many years ago.
He and I had a bad argument.
It all started when
he was 18 years old,
the same age you are now.
He joined a race without
asking my permission.
And he used a car
I spent years building.
[tires screech]
I win... I win!
[tires screeching]
You'll smash!
[CROWD gasping, shouting]
You have to get outta that car!
Rex, are you all right?
[REX groans]
I'm okay, Pops.
[MAN E] The kid looks great.
He wasn't scratched!
I'm glad you weren't hurt, my boy.
I'm very sorry, Pops.
A few yards further and I
would have been the winner.
I did such a great job at driving,
ll deserve to win the race.
Don't try to tell me that!
You deserve to lose the race
because your driving
technique was very bad!
What do you mean "bad"?!
I would've won if my car
hadn't gone into a spin!
I know that, Rex!
But if you had more experience,
that wouldn't have happened.
Listen, Pops, I'm already an expert.
But my beautiful new
car is all smashed up!
What about that, huh?
I'm sorry, but it
was just an accident.
I didn't mean to do it.
I don't wanna find you behind
the wheel of a car again,
and that's final!
Then I'll have to become
a champion without you,
so I'm leaving home.
Good bye, Pops.
[POPS] You'll never
be a champion, Rex!
Mark my words,
without skill and experience,
you'll never get anywhere
in the world of racing!
[growls]
And I never saw your
brother Rex again.
And that's why I say
you need experience.
But, Pops, don't you know that
Speed's the best racing
car driver in the world?
Well, I'm the one who trained him!
I didn't ask you, Spritle!
[SPRITLE chuckles nervously]
Well, it's getting pretty late
and it's time for bed, boys.
Good night, Spritle. Good night, Speed.
--[SPEED] Night, Mother.
--[SPRITLE] Nighty night.
[SPEED] Night, Pops.
[SPEED] Aw, Rex, where are you?
Why don't you come home
again where you belong?
Mom and Pops miss you.
And so do I.
I wish you could be here when
I race against the Masked Racer.
But, wherever you are,
wish me luck.
I've got to beat him. I've got to!
[NARRATOR] Meanwhile,
in a secret hotel room,
the secret head
of the Alpha Team,
Mr. Wiley, is holding
a secret conference.
I want my team to win
the Trans Country Race
no matter what the price,
do you understand, Slick? Hm?
You can count on me, Mr. Wiley.
It doesn't matter to me
who's in the race,
the Masked Racer or Speed Racer,
I'm gonna beat 'em!
[WILEY] Smart boy.
But I've heard that the
Masked Racer's pretty tricky.
No matter what trick he pulls,
I'll be pulling it first.
Don't worry, I'll beat him.
[WILEY chuckles]
[WILEY] That's the
dirty fighting spirit.
But when I do win, I expect
to be paid a lotta money!
[WILEY] I promise, Slick,
you'll get everything you deserve.
Hey, Mr. Wiley, I just found
out that the Masked Racer
is staying at the hotel, sleepin'.
He didn't make any plans to beat us.
[WILEY] So?
So, we better make
some plans to beat him!
[SLICK] Don't worry.
When I'm out on track in
the middle of the race,
I'll do my stuff, and he
won't know what hit him!
[WILEY chuckles] Good luck, Slick.
[gasps] Number 7,
driven by the Masked Racer,
is beating Speed,
driving the Mach 5!
Now, they're neck-and-neck,
and the Masked Racer is
trying to make Speed crash!
They both crash!
The Masked Racer!
Hide!
[screams]
Don't be afraid.
<i>- I'm not.
Isn't your name Spritle?
That's what it is,
and I'm stronger than I look!
So watch out!
1 will, Spritle!
What'd you come here for?
[RACER X] To ask you
to do something for me.
I want you to give this letter
to your brother, Speed.
[SPRITLE gasps]
Give the letter to my brother?
[RACER X] Mm-hm.
I don't get it. Why don't
you give it to him yourself?
[RACER X] I don't want
anybody to know about it.
Please take it.
[SPRITLE] Well, why should 1?
After all, I'm not the mail man!
[RACER X]
I'll give you some candy.
I'll take it!
[laughs]
Spritle! Spritle!
Now, be a good boy, Spritle.
[MOM] Who was that?
Him? Just somebody who was lost.
He was looking for a post office,
and I told him which
route to take.
[gasps]
Chim Chim, come back!
That's my candy!
[SPRITLE] Speed, Speed!
A letter for you! Look, Speed!
Here, Speed. A letter was given
to me by the Masked Racer.
Huh, the Masked Racer?
Hmm...
[SPRITLE] What does it say, Speed?
It doesn't have anything to
do with you, Spritle. It's private.
And you mustn't tell anybody
about it. Do you promise?
[SPRITLE] Okay.
[thunder]
[SPEED] I've got to be
in that race.
I've got to beat
the Masked Racer.
And I know I can do it.
But Pops says I need
more experience.
Well, I'll go to the track
now and I'll get experience!
[engine revs]
[engine revving]
[tires screech]
[RACER X] You! What are
you doing here, Speed?
Practicing.
You must not be in the race!
[SPEED] I will be! And I can
beat you; I'll prove it!
Wait!
[NARRATOR] Visibility is
nearly down to zero
as Speed and Racer X race
blindly through the night.
One wrong turn, and it will
be the end for either of them.
[gasps]
[gasps]
[groans]
[tires screech]
[RADIO] And the forecast
for the day of the big race
is still uncertain.
Right now, we're in the center
of a low, low-pressure area,
which is bringing heavy
rains and high winds.
At sea, the waves
are 30 feet high,
and the tide is still rising.
Driving conditions are
extremely hazardous.
Stay off the roads tonight.
[gasps]
Speed!
[gasping]
[NARRATOR]
The storm grows worse,
and the road more dangerous.
Now, Speed barely manages to
keep the Mach 5 from
skidding into disaster.

[RACER X] Mm-hm.
I don't get it. Why don't
you give it to him yourself?
[RACER X] I don't want
anybody to know about it.
Please take it.
[SPRITLE] Well, why should 1?
After all, I'm not the mail man!
[RACER X]
I'll give you some candy.
I'll take it!
[laughs]
Spritle! Spritle!
Now, be a good boy, Spritle.
[MOM] Who was that?
Him? Just somebody who was lost.
He was looking for a post office,
and I told him which
route to take.
[gasps]
Chim Chim, come back!
That's my candy!
[SPRITLE] Speed, Speed!
A letter for you! Look, Speed!
Here, Speed. A letter was given
to me by the Masked Racer.
Huh, the Masked Racer?
Hmm...
[SPRITLE] What does it say, Speed?
It doesn't have anything to
do with you, Spritle. It's private.
And you mustn't tell anybody
about it. Do you promise?
[SPRITLE] Okay.
[thunder]
[SPEED] I've got to be
in that race.
I've got to beat
the Masked Racer.
And I know I can do it.
But Pops says I need
more experience.
Well, I'll go to the track
now and I'll get experience!

[tires screech]
[RACER X] You! What are
you doing here, Speed?
Practicing.
You must not be in the race!
[SPEED] I will be! And I can
beat you; I'll prove it!
Wait!
[NARRATOR] Visibility is
nearly down to zero
as Speed and Racer X race
blindly through the night.
One wrong turn, and it will
be the end for either of them.

[RADIO] And the forecast
for the day of the big race
is still uncertain.
Right now, we're in the center
of a low, low-pressure area,
which is bringing heavy
rains and high winds.
At sea, the waves
are 30 feet high,
and the tide is still rising.
Driving conditions are
extremely hazardous.
Stay off the roads tonight.
[gasps]
Speed!
[gasping]
[NARRATOR]
The storm grows worse,
and the road more dangerous.
Now, Speed barely manages to
keep the Mach 5 from
skidding into disaster.
