00:00Hi, my name is Stephen King.
00:18I've written several motion pictures, but I want to tell you about a movie called Maximum
00:23Overdrive, which is the first one I've directed.
00:27Wow.
00:28What in the dickens is going on around here?
00:35A lot of people have directed Stephen King novels and stories, and I finally decided
00:41if you want something done right, you ought to do it yourself.
00:45Who was driving it?
00:48I don't know.
00:50Curtis!
00:51It's coming in!
00:52It's coming after us!
00:54It was my first picture as a director.
00:57And you know something?
00:58I sort of enjoyed it.
01:04What is going on?
01:05I don't know!
01:06I just wanted someone to do Stephen King right.
01:09You want a war?
01:10You got one.
01:14I just want to get the hell out of here.
01:17So come and spend some time with me and my friends at the Dixie Boy.
01:22Spend some time in the dark.
01:24Please don't leave me in the dark!
01:27Help me!
01:29I'm going to scare the hell out of you.
01:36And that's a promise.
01:38You're going to get us in an awful lot of trouble, man.
01:40We're already in trouble.
