Dinah, having just worked through her sadness and anger at Greaseball dumping her, leaps at the chance to race with Electra. As Purse leads Dinah, Ashley and Buffy away, Dinah comments "but if Greaseball changes his mind..." to the exasperation of the other coaches.
History[]
In the 1992 London revamp, this scene was extended. The revamp had removed the character of Caboose, who raced with Rusty in the Downhill Final, meaning that Rusty needed a new partner.
Ashley and Buffy remained onstage as Rusty collected Buffy to be his partner (their conversation reprises "Crazy"). Ashley left with Bobo.

So who do we go with?

You and the French train make a great team!

You take Rusty, use a head of steam.
BUFFY:
Crazy, I'm stuck with the slow one, it's Crazy!

Hey, it's me, or it's no-one, I'm crazy.
BOTH:
Going crazy, going crazy, going crazy...
