Quotes 

• Speed Racer : Racer X, why did you disguise yourself as a Kapetepekan?

  Racer X : Hmm? I'll tell you. I was taught to drive mountainous roads by a Kapetepekan named Kabala. I knew none of the tricks of how to race along those tortured roads and broken trails when I first met Kabala. Every racing car driver in the world was afraid of him, but he was kind and helpful to me. He taught me various techniques which only he knew. And then, when I became a professional racing driver, I had a race with Kabala on a mountain path. Suddenly, before he had a chance to avoid it, there was a landslide. And his car fell into the valley below. I searched for him. But I never saw him again. So to return his kindness, I disguised myself as Kabala and try to protect the treasure of the Kapetepeks...

  Speed Racer : ...and the borders of this land?

  Racer X : That's right, Speed! This race was begun because someone didn't like Kapetepek keeping its borders closed. And if you win this race Speed, the borders of Kapetepek will be open to anybody in the world. The country will be ruined.

  Speed Racer : That's nonsense! I'm getting back into the race! I don't care about any silly reason for racing like you just gave me! I'm racing to win, that's all! And I'm gonna do it! I'll see you at the finish line, Racer X! There's nothing you can say that will try to stop me from being the winner! Nothing!

  Racer X : Speed, come back here! Listen to me! Speed!

  Speed Racer : It's no use talking any further, Racer X! All I'm interested in is winning!

• [Kadar's gang perishes in the lava] 

  Speed Racer : They were too greedy, and anyone who becomes too greedy is punished one way or another!

• Racer X : [to Chief Zuma]  I've risked my life to save your treasure. Now you gentlemen must come to some agreement! Compromise! Open your borders to the world SOME of the time!
