At King Courtney's headquarters. edit Mike: Tell me why I don't just shoot you now? You're the goon that took out a friend of mine - the bartender. I tracked you here all the way from Portland. edit King Courtney: Easy, mon. Don't go spreading accusations about King Courtney when you don't know the deal. Yes, it was my men who went to the bartender's pad to collect some money owed to me but they're no murderers. When they got there, they found the man dead and came back here. Easy, mon, and tell me who you are. edit Mike: The name's Mike. Now tell me more so I can believe you. edit King Courtney: I want to find the bastards as much as you do. Whatever money the bartender had was stolen. That's my money and I want it back. Do some favors for me and I'll help you track down the murderer. I have a prime opportunity for you. My normal driver has a bullet hole in his head - just before the most important race of the season, mon! It's against the Yakuza - the driver's a bit crazy and may try to ram you. The race happens on the walk-to-work day so there won't be much traffic around. If you do well, we'll shut the city down and let you drive a real formula one racing car! edit Mike leaves King Courtney's headquarters. edit Mike: Hmm, formula one race, not what I expected but hey, maybe I'll get one of the babes to sit on my hood afterwards. edit Option A: Mike wins the race in a time over 3 minutes. edit King Courtney: You're not a bad driver mon, but you're not ready for the big leagues. Keep your day job of hustling and do some pimping on the side! edit Option B: Mike wins the race in less than 3 minutes. edit King Courtney: You're a qualifier, mon! You're ready for stepping it up and being a real race driver. Come back to my headquarters and I'll put the word to you. edit Mike returns to King Courtney's headquarters. edit King Courtney: Mon... the pressure is high, higher than what I'm used to! We've got a formula one Jamaican driver coming in tomorrow for the Staunton Grand Prix. I need you to test drive his car for him. The faster, the better! edit Mike: Sure thing, King. It's a once in a lifetime opportunity and I'd be crazy to turn it down. It's automatic, right? edit King Courtney: There are buttons on the wheel just like a computer game. Get on with your bad self! edit Mike wins the race in a less than 3:20 minutes. edit King Courtney: I don't believe it, mon! You're the fastest driver ever. Living life in the fast lane, you're keeping everybody high with happiness. edit Mike wins the race in a less than 3:40 minutes. edit King Courtney: You're blazing fast, mon. Smoking red! The ladies are shouting your name, Mike! Mike! edit Mike wins the race in a time over 3:20 minutes. edit King Courtney: You're a little slow in the turning, mon. You've got to ease up, not freeze up and put the pedal down! edit
