DR. GENEVIEVE ST. JERMAINE:
We’ve gotta move, the Russian henchmen are after us!

Well, don’t worry, the turbocharged 2 Liter EcoBoost engine cranks out 252 horse power and 270-pound feet of torque. 0 to 60 in 6.5 seconds.
DR. GENEVIEVE ST. JERMAINE:
Good, cause we’ve got company!

DAN:
This is the Focus ST.
DR. ST. JERMAINE:
Are you nervous Dan?

We’re not really driving. If we were, we could use SYNC, with voice-activated navigation.
DR. ST. JERMAINE:
No time to talk about features, Dan, because we’re going over a waterfall!!!!
The car remains still in the showroom.

Is this…just Chinese takeout?
DR. ST. JERMAINE:
It’s very old.

Dan screams. The boulder hits him and bounces back like a very soft ball.
DR. ST. JERMAINE:
Do you like it, I made it out of plaster.
