Thomas, Lightning and the Gang meet Ace

This is how Thomas, Lightning and the Gang meet Ace goes in Lightning McQueen's Adventures of Thomas and Friends: Big World! Big Adventures! The Movie.

[Bertie is then seen driving along whilst humming the tune of Somebody Has to Be The Favorite]

Bertie: Somebody's got to be...

[Just then, a tuneful toot is heard and Ace speeds past Bertie]

Ace: Whoo-hoo!

Bertie: Hey! Excuse me!

[Ace rounds a corner and drives along until he catches up with Thomas, Lightning and the others, Annie and Clarabel spotting him in the process]

Annie: (gasps) Who is that?

Thomas: [gasps in amazement] Hello! Are you a racing car?!

Ace: That's right, mate! I certainly am.

Lightning McQueen: Which sponsor do you race for?

Ace: I don't have one.

Mater: No sponsor?

Ace: Nope. I'm a rally car, tow truck. Rally cars don't need sponsors.

Francesco Bernoulli: Francesco admires your spirit, young amigo.

Ace: Thanks, mate.

Thomas: Want a race?

Ace: Race?

Annie: No Thomas!

Ace: What a little race car like me against big strong vehicles like all of you? [chuckles] Alright, mate. Ready... set...

[Thomas, Lightning and the others take off before he can finish]

Annie, Clarabel and the passengers: THOMAS!!

[Ace waits a while, then speeds up, catching up with Thomas, Lightning and the others once more]

Ace: Go.

[He speeds ahead, leaving Thomas, Lightning and the others astonished]

Ace: See ya all later! [laughs]

Thomas: Wow! Did you see that?

Lightning McQueen: Yep. We saw it.

Sally: That is one... hot... car.

Lightning McQueen: Don't you start like with Francesco Bernoulli.

Sally: I'm only joking.

Cruz Ramirez: [staring at Ace lovingly] Wow.

Mack: I think some one has a crush on that car.

Holley Shiftwell: Clearly because she is showing signs of it.

Finn McMissile: Yes. She is definitely the L word.
