Thomas, Lightning and Friends at the Salt Flats and leave Ace behind/At San Francisco/Sometimes You Make A Friend

This is how leaving Ace behind goes in Lightning McQueen's Adventures of Thomas and Friends: Big World! Big Adventures! The Movie.

[The scene changes to San Francisco where The Fat Controller (wearing a cowboy hat) is asking a diesel shunter named Natalie about Thomas]

The Fat Controller: Uh, he's blue, with a big number one. Perhaps you've seen him? Delivering coffee from Brazil? (he shows Natalie the photo)

Natalie: From Brazil? Oh, yes, of course! I know the tank engine that bought the coffee from Brazil.

[The Fat Controller beams with delight]

Natalie: Oh, but she didn't look like that tank engine. Sorry.

[The Fat Controller's smile fades]

The Fat Controller: Er.... (sighs) Oh, thank you, anyway.

Natalie: Have a nice day.

[She reverses away while The Fat Controller walks sadly to a café]

The Fat Controller: Oh, Thomas, where are you?

[The Cars Antagonist Legion saw this]

Chick Hicks: Look. It's the Fat Railway Owner guy.

Sterling: You mean Sir Topham Hatt/The Fat Controller.

Chick Hicks: Whatever.

Professor Z: It looks like he's been looking for Thomas across the world.

Ripslinger: Yep. No kidding about that.

Jackson Storm: Hopefully he doesn't interfered with our plans.

Arvy: Yep. I banged the little blue guy good.

Chick Hicks: Yes. But did you injure him enough?

Arvy: Well, other than the fact that a western mining engine saved him just now.

Ripslinger: A western mining engine did what?!

Chick Hicks: You were lucky he was able to rescue the tank engine. The next time I tell you to rough our enemies up a little bit show a little more restraint. [sighs in frustration] No matter. We need that puffball to come here just as much as Fatt Hatt does.

Grem: Why's that?

Chick Hicks: We are going to end this. Once and for all.

Acer: And for McQueen and his pals?

Chick Hicks: Same goes for them.

[He smirks evilly. The scene changes to the Salt Flats where Thomas, the cars and Ace are]

Ace: Doesn't it look like the moon, guys? Don't you all feel like you're in outer space?

[Grey cars zoom past them]

Thomas: But, Ace, what about.....

Ace: Welcome to the Salt Flats, guys, the home of speed!

Chug: Wow!

Finn McMissile: Fascinating.

Thomas: I'm not supposed to be in the Salt Flats, Ace! And I'm worried ab
