Thomas, Lightning and Friends in the US/Arvy totals Thomas (again)/Beau to the rescue

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

[The scene changes to Arizona in the US where Thomas, Nia, Ace, Lightning and the others are puffing through the rocky terrain til they saw Sam on the other track]

Sam: Howdy!

Thomas: Hello there!

Lightning McQueen and his friends: Hi, Sam!

Ace: G'day!

Nia: Hello? How are you? How are your wheels? How's your boiler? How are your pistons?

[Sam gives a confused look while Ace just frowns at this til he saw the Morenci Loop ahead along with Thomas, Nia and the Cars who is in awe at the sight of it]

Thomas: Wow! Looks like we're moving up in the world! (laughs)

Dusty Crophopper: You got that right!

Lightning McQueen: We'll be at San Francisco in no time!

[They go up the loop]

Thomas: (laughs) Whoo-hoo!

Ace: OK, guys, you really need to take me straight to the Utah Salt Flats! That's where the next rally's gonna be held, North America. Continent number 3. [suddenly notices Mater driving backwards] Can you stop that, mate?

Mater: Stop what?

Ace: That driving backwards stuff. It's creeping me out. You're gonna wreck or something.

Mater: Wreck? Shoot. I'm the world's best backwards driver. You just watch us right, lover boy.

[He speeds off in reverse]

Ace: What are you doing?! Watch out! Look out!

Mater: Wha-hee!

Nia: Mater! Mater!

[Mater continues racing backwards]

Mater: Whoo-hoo!

Ace: Mater!

[Mater spins around in a spin then reverse back to the others]

Mater: Ain't no need to watch where I'm going!

[He lands next to Ace]

Mater: Just need to know where I've been.

Nia: Wow! How did you do that?!

Mater: Rear-view mirrors.

Ace: Wow! I wish I could do that.

Lightning McQueen: Mater show me that once when we first met.

[The two friends smiled, remembering the first time they met]

Nia: (to Ace) But we're meant to be being useful, Ace. People are waiting for this coffee in San Francisco. The Salt Flats are not on our way.

Ace: You can make them be on your way if you want to.

Cruz Ramirez: No, Ace.

Ace: Huh? What do you mean, Cruz? We'II miss our rally.

Cruz Ramirez: I know but the coffee is more important.

Sparky: But, Nia, did you actually plan to bring Ace all the way to San Francisco instead of dropping him off at the Salt Flats for his rally?

Nia: Well, I didn't actually thought about it but the coffee needs to be there on time.

Mater: I'm sure a quick stop at the Salt Flats wouldn't hurt.

Thomas: And delivering Ace would be Really Useful too, Nia.

Nia: Only for Ace. And it's also important to keep your promises, Thomas. There are people waiting for this coffee.

Ace: Well, I'II tell you something that's even more important than being useful or keeping promises. Having fun! And racing is fun! Isn't that right, guys?

Strip Weathers: True, kid.

Lightning McQueen: Too true. I once promised Mater that he can take a helicopter ride and I learned to kept it for real with a little help from Sally. That's how I know that keeping promises is very important.

Ace: I see ya point, mate, but I still prefer to stick to doing my own things alright?

Lightning McQueen: Suit yourself.

Skipper Riley: Something tells me that he needs to learn to understand others' perceptions and that other things are important as being a free spirit.

Sparky: Looks like it, Skip.

Nia: I know how to have fun, too, you know.

[She gets an idea and grins an mischievous grin]

Nia: Want to know something else that's fun?

[She slams on her brakes. Thomas gets what Nia is going to do]

Thomas: No, no, no, no, no, no, no, Nia! Don't! Whoo-hoo!

[The two trains and cars start going backwards down the Loop]

Thomas: (giggles)

Nia: Whoo!

[Ace just groans in frustration and annoyance as they rolled down the loop, laughing and whooping until Nia heard a diesel horn behind her and she look back to see a diesel coming towards them]

Nia: (gasps) Guys!

[She slams on her brakes and so does Thomas as they slide down the Loop until there's silence for they have stop just in time to avoid a crash]

Nia: (gasps) Ooops. Sorry.

American Female Diesel: Ah, never you mind now, darling. No harm done.

Smokey: That was a close call.

Chug: Now I get it why you said you never feel more alive than when your almost dead, Finn.

Finn McMissile: I'm glad you do, Chug.

Nia: OK, goodbye. (giggles)

Thomas and cars: Bye!

[They all chuckled as they went on their way with Ace sighs with annoyance. The scene changes to the Amazon where the Fat Controller is on board aeroplane named Emerson flying over the trees]

Emerson: Oh! It is very hard to see through the trees. But, he's a steam engine, correct? So perhaps we might spot his steam coming up.

[The Fat Controller, wearing a safari hat like before with Dowager Hatt once, is looking for Thomas through his binoculars when he sees some steam]

The Fat Controller: Oh! Is that him? Over there!

[But as they got closer, he saw that it's only smoke from a fire in a village]

Emerson: No. That's just a cooking fire in a village.

The Fat Controller: Oh.

[Emerson flies over the village and the scene changes back to the Arizona desert where Thomas, Nia, Ace and the cars are moving on]

Ace: That was a bit dangerous back there, guys. All that foolishness going backwards on the slope.

Nia: I thought you liked danger, Ace. I saw the way you were taking those corners back in the rainforest.

Ace: Yeah, well, that's different. That's racing and racing has different rules. It's every car from himself. And we're all our own bosses if you know what I mean. Nobody's coupled up to anybody else.

[Then Ace got a idea to get rid of Nia]

Ace: Hey! You should try it! You and Thomas should split the train in two and each pull your own half of it. Free and easy.

Nia: But we're going to San Francisco together!

Cruz Ramirez: Yeah, Ace. What's the point in splitting it?

Ace: Of course, we are. But we'd get there quicker if you were racing, Nia. And the coffee would definitely get delivered on time. Unless you're worried that you can't keep up with Thomas?

Nia: Of course I can.

Lightning McQueen: What do you say, guys? Up for a little practice run?

Francesco Bernoulli: Of course.

Dusty Crophopper: Count me in.

[The workman uncouple Nia and some of the trucks. The cars get down off their flatbeds and line up on Nia's left, Thomas' right and even in between the two]

Ace: Beautiful! Now that's more like it. Let's deliver this coffee as fast as we can. Everybody ready?

Thomas: I'm ready.

Lightning McQueen: Me too.

Cruz Ramirez: Time to cruise with the moves!

Dusty Crophopper: And time for you all to eat my dust!

Ace: (laughs) How about you, Nia? Think you can keep up with these guys?

Nia: (scoffs) Watch me go!

Ace: On your marks......

[Thomas and Nia prepare themselves as do the cars. Dusty starts his propeller]

Ace: Get set, go!

[Thomas, Nia and the cars race off. Dusty rockets into the air. They laugh as they raced along the desert]

Thomas: I can catch ya!

Ace: Yes! That's the spirit!

Nia: Oh, whoo!

Ace: Wow! Look at her go!

Thomas: Huh?

Ace: She really is fast!

Nia: (laughs) You're getting lazy, Thomas! Keep up! Whoo!

[Thomas toots as he starts to speed up to catch up with Nia]

Ace: (whispering) Not too fast. Pace yourself. Let her get ahead a bit.

[Thomas and the cars slow down in confusion]

Thomas: Why? It's a race.

Ace: Because we're going to play a little trick on Nia.

Finn McMissile: Playing tricks on people is not nice.

Lightning McQueen: And it's also cheating.

Thomas: What kind of trick?

Ace: A joke, Thomas. Come on. Don't be a baby. It will be funny and fun. You'II see.

[They saw some points ahead of them]

Ace: Turn off here.

Thomas: OK, Ace.

Sparky: Right behind ya!

[Thomas set off onto the other track away from Nia]

Thomas: But where are we going?

Ace: The Salt Flats!

Thomas: The Salt Flats?

[Then he sped down a slope very fast and alongside the cars]

Ace: Expresso coming through! Mates, we don't need Nia! Now, we can decide for ourselves what we want to do! We can go to the Salt Flats for the next rally! It'II be so much fun! Take your brakes off already! We're on a roll!

[One of the truck leans a bit to the side]

Truck: Ohh!

Ace: That's it, Thomas! Faster! Keep your cool, Thomas! You can handle it! Hold the road! (laughs) This is the kind of ride I like!

[Thomas sped up along the cliff very fast. The truck look down to
