When Lightning thinks Sherrif's shooting at him, he says something as he's swerving... but I can't for the life of me make it out.
anyone know? anyone else can't figure it out? any ideas? anyone wanna make me a cuppa?

He repeats the word "Serpentine" over and over. Serpentine = driving manuever where you swerve from side to side, which is what Lightning was doing to dodge Sheriff's non-existent gunfire.

To be honest, I never thought of it as a driving move before...but I know that it's a shape(looks like a serpent, hence the name), and the way Lightning was moving, he was "drawing" it on the road.
