The World's Fastest Indian (2005)

Gavin Grazer: Mike

Quotes 

• Burt Munro : What's your name, young man?

  Mike : McFarlane. Mike. Mike McFarlane.

  Burt Munro : I knew a McFarlane. He used to sell milking machines in Timaru. You must be related to him because he was a total prick.

• Jim Moffett : I told you, if it's a time problem, the old guy's welcome to use some of my time.

  Mike : It's not a time problem, it's a bike problem.

  Jim Moffett : Well, I think we ought to let him run. He came all the way from New Zealand to do this.

  Mike : Jim, have you had a good look at his machine?

  Jim Moffett : All I know is the man's the genuine article.

  Mike : Yeah, but the bike is the genuine dinosaur.

  Jim Moffett : Look, we carry the cans for the decisions around here...

  Mike : And if he kills himself, and there's about a 100-to-1 that he will, we're gonna have a hell of a lot of trouble on our hands.

  Jim Moffett : Yeah, sounds like we're a bunch of chickenshits, if you want my opinion.

• Mike : I said, what happened to the tread?

  Burt Munro : Well, I cut it off. That's what happened to the tread, I cut it off with a carving knife, otherwise it won't be a high-speed tyre, would it?
