00:00We haven't seen each other since we made the movie.
00:13You haven't changed hardly at all.
00:17You look great.
00:18We both haven't.
00:19Fabulous.
00:20We're holding up.
00:21We're holding up.
00:22Not as good as the car, but...
00:23Oh, no.
00:24The car is better.
00:25I haven't been in it yet, but I'm dying to see it.
00:28It was a baby.
00:29It was only two years old.
00:30I do think the opening's great.
00:33I'm sure there's great openings, but at the time, I think that was one of the best openings.
00:38Especially with the credits rolling over it.
00:41Yeah, and the cop car made it, chasing the Lamborghini in the speed.
00:46Well, I loved it when you jumped out of the car and did the graffiti on the speed sign.
00:51Yeah.
00:52I have an image of my foot on a wooden block, because I was too short to reach the pedals.
01:05And I didn't do a lot of the driving, obviously.
01:07We had a wonderful stuntwoman to do it, but I did have to drive in, and I had to drive
01:13out.
01:14Well, I thought it was beautiful.
01:15I thought the car was just beautiful, and it still is.
01:18We had the best car.
01:20Yes.
01:21No question.
01:22Well, we won the race.
01:24Cannonball Run, it's the photograph that sells, and it's the car that sells, because so many
01:31people bring the model to me.
01:34How has the movie impacted American culture?
01:39Everyone knows it.
01:41Everyone knows the Lamborghini.
01:43Everyone knows the two girls in the Lamborghini.
01:46Well.
01:47We are attached to that.
01:51Thank you.
