Opening Countertop[]
(The scene opens to Bob and Larry on the countertop.)
Bob: Hi, kids! Welcome to VeggieTales! I'm Bob the Tomato...
Larry: …And I'm Larry the Cucumber!
Bob: And we're here to answer your questions.
Larry: Yep.
Bob: Today we got a letter from Wanda Washington from Roseburg, Oregon.
Larry: Oooh! That's really far away.
Bob: Wanda writes "Dear Bob and Larry. I am very good at sack jumping and I'm practicing for a sack race at school. But yesterday while I was practicing my friend fell down and asked me to help help, but I didn't help her. My mom says she needs to be humble think of others first. But she doesn't know what that means and I want to know why and how to be humble. Can you help me? Your friend Wanda."
Larry: Wow. That's a good question.
Bob: Uh huh. But Wanda, today I have story for you that might just help you. "Roll film!
[The screen fades to black]
Cars: Act I[]
Lightning McQueen: (inhales and exhales) Okay... here we go. Focus. Speed. I am speed. (Picture of cars racing) One winner. Forty-two losers. I eat losers for breakfast. (Picture of cars racing) Breakfast? Wait, maybe I should've had breakfast. A little breck-y could be good for me. No, no, no. Stay focused. Speed. (Picture of cars racing) Faster than fast. Quicker than quick. I am Lightning.
(Someone knocks from outside)
Mack: Hey, Lightning? You ready?
(A door opens)
Lightning McQueen: Oh, yeah. Lightning's ready.
(Lightning McQueen enters outside of his trailor He revs his engine and looks around the arena his trailer is in) The arena was crowded with cars and the camera crew point the cameras at Lightning)
Lightning McQueen: Ka-chow!
(Racecars zoom around the track) Lightning drives past a few then has to lean against the wall to pass two more) He's shown on a jumbotron winking Mia and Tia, two female cars, scream The crowd goes wild)
Condescension Car: Get your antenna balls here!
(Motorhomes watch the race from the area's center Forklifts change tires and refuel racers in the pits Elvis, a motorhome with a quif, shakes his shatty)
Elvis: (singing) Uh!
(The camera then shows Chick Hicks as he purposely hits a racer named Lee Revkins off the track.)
Lee Revkins: Uh! Aaaaaahh! (slides away)
(The camera shows The King overtaking Chick, and he drives away revving his engine. Then the camera shows Bob Cutlass and Darrell Cartrip, car versions of Bob Costas and Darrell Waltrip, announcing the race.)
Bob Cutlass: Welcome back to the Dinoco 400. I'm Bob Cutlass, here with my good friend, Darrell Cartrip. We're midway through what may turn out to be a historic day for racing.
Darrell Cartrip: Bob, my oil pressure's through the roof right now. If this gets any more exciting, they're gonna have to tow me outta the booth!
Bob Cutlass: Right you are, Darrell. Three cars are tied for the season points lead, heading into the final race of the season. And the winner of this race, Darrell, will win the season title and the Piston Cup. Does The King, Strip Weathers, have one more victory in him before retirement?
Darrell Cartrip: He's been Dinoco's golden boy for years! Can he win them one last Piston Cup?
Bob Cutlass: And, as always, in the second place spot we find Chick Hicks. He's been chasing that tailfin his entire career.
Darrell Cartrip: Chick thought this was his year, Bob. His chance to finally emerge from The King's shadow. But the last thing he expected was...Lightning McQueen!
Bob Cutlass: You know, I don't think anybody expected this. The rookie sensation came into the season unknown. But everyone knows him now.
Darrell Cartrip: Will he be the first rookie to win a Piston Cup and land Dinoco?
Bob Cutlass: The legend, the runner-up, and the rookie! Three cars, one champion!
(The camera then shows the racers. Chick is trying to overtake Strip Weathers, who was blocking his way. McQueen then catches up to Chick as they try to get ahead of one another.)
Chick Hicks: No you don't.
(McQueen then moves to the left and finally overtakes Chick.)
Lightning McQueen: (chuckles)
Chick Hicks: Hey!
(Chick then gains on McQueen as Real Gone ends. Chick Hicks then bumps McQueen, causing him to slide off the track onto the infield. The crowd is heard booing to what had happened. And we see the Veggie and Character gang watching too and Mertle Edmonds and her friends are with them too.)
Motorhome: Whoa! What a ride!
Larry the Camper: What a ride!
Chick Hicks: Ha-ha-ha-ha!
Larry the Camper: Go get 'em, McQueen! Go get 'em!
Mertle Edmonds: I can't believe that you made me come to this race that you wanted to see Weirdlo!
Lilo: I don't why you think i'm weird Mertle! And it wasn't my idea, it was Bob's.
Bob: Yeah, Mertle. We're here in the world of talking cars on a mission to see how talking cars are like humans.
Larry: And part of the idea was Junior's.
Junior: That's right because I love race cars and Lightning McQueen. And we're gonna get to meet him cause I won the Lightning McQueen Sweepstakes! Ha! Ha!
Laura: Aw, come on Junior. You’re starting to act like me when I won the Twippo Sweepstakes. Could you please give it a break?
Junior: Oh, yeah. Sorry Laura. Im just a huge fan of Lightning McQueen!
Bob: We know Junior.
Lilo: And besides Mertle, I invited you to come to the race. And Yuki, Teresa and Elena wanted to come.
Elena, Teresa and Yuki: Yeah!
R.M: (whistles)
(McQueen then drives back on the track, behind all of the other racers. Chick then looks back to see McQueen far behind him.)
Female audience member: I love you, Lightning!
Chick Hicks: Dinoco is all mine! (bumps a race car named Winford Bradford Rutherford)
Winford Bradford Rutherford: AAAAHHH!!!! (slides into the wall, and collides with all of the other racers)
Darrell Cartrip: Trouble, turn three!
Chick Hicks: Ha-ha! Get through that, McQueen!
Bob Cutlass: Oh! A huge crash behind the leaders!
Crowd: (gasps)
Veggie and Character Gang: (gasp)
Elena, Teresa and Yuki: (gasp)
(The camera then shows all of the different racers as they collide, with one flying through the air, and one losing its tire. Claude and another racer named Billy Oilchanger then stop, facing towards each other.)
Claude Scruggs: (giggles)
Billy Oilchanger: (grunts as he gets hit by another racer)
Claude Scruggs: (gasps as another racer named Todd Marcus comes towards him)
(Claude then gets hit by Todd, ending upside down on Todd's roof.)
Claude Scruggs and Todd Marcus: Aaaaaahhh!!
(Then the camera shows McQueen, who is driving through the wreckage and dodging the other racers.)
Bob Cutlass: Wait a second, Darrell. McQueen is in the wreckage.
Darrell Cartrip: There's no way the rookie can make it through! Not in one piece, that is.
(McQueen continues dodging the other racers who are sliding across the track. Then he bounces on Claude's undercarriage up into the air, exhaling and having his tongue down. Much to the characters amazement Then he moves his tire towards the audience.)
Lightning McQueen: Yeah!
Mia and Tia: (as a reflection of McQueen's bolt sticker shines on them) Lightning! Oh!
Lilo: Wow!
Elena, Teresa and Yuki: Cool!
(McQueen then lands back on the ground.)
Darrell Cartrip: Look at that! McQueen made it through!
Bob Cutlass: Man a spectacular move by Lightning McQueen!
Lightning McQueen: Yeah! Ka-chow!
Crowd: (chanting) McQueen! McQueen! McQueen! McQueen! McQueen!
Junior: (chanting) McQueen! McQueen! McQueen!
Elena: Yay, McQueen!
Albert Hinkey: Yeah, McQueen! Ka-chow! (honks his horn, while the crowd members around him are disgusted by its loud noise)
Bob Cutlass: While everyone else heads into the pits, McQueen stays out to take the lead!
(While Bob is talking, a pace car named Charlie Checker appears in front of McQueen. Then the camera then shows a tow truck named Tow towing a damaged racer called Chuck Armstrong.)
Chuck Armstrong: Don't take me out, coach. I can still race!
(The camera then shows most of the other racers having a pit stop. It then shows Chick, while his pitties are changing his tires.)
Chick Hicks: (chuckles) What do you think, boys? A thing of beauty.
Chief Chick: McQueen made it through!
Chick Hicks: What?!
(The camera then shows the TV screen, which McQueen is still on the track.)
Chief Chick: He's not pitting!
Chick Hicks: Come on! You gotta get me out there! Let's go! Get me back out there! Come on!
Bob Cutlass: McQueen's not going into the pits!
Darrell Cartrip: You know, the rookie just fired his crew chief. That's the third one this season!
(The other racers are seen driving through the pit lane back onto the track.)
Bob Cutlass: Well, he says he likes working alone, Darrell.
(While Bob is talking, Chick is seen ending his pit stop as the other racers are driving past him.)
Chief Chick: Go, go!
(Chick then starts off, getting in the middle of the queue.)
Bob Cutlass: Looks like Chick got caught up in the pits.
Darrell Cartrip: Yeah, after a stop like that, he's got a lot of ground to make up. Get ready, boys, we're coming to the restart!
(The crowd cheers as the race restarts with McQueen progressing through in first place. Meanwhile, Chick is struggling to get past the other racers.)
Chick Hicks: (overtaking a racer named Greg Candyman) Come on. Come on.
(McQueen continues progressing through the race in the lead.)
Chick Hicks: (after overtaking a racer named Ponchy Wipeout) Come on, come on, come on!
(Then the King overtakes a white car named Matthew Overtaker. Finally, McQueen comes into the pits. His pit crew arrives, with the crew chief named Not Chuck.)
Rust-eze Pitty 1: (putting fuel into McQueen) We need tires now! Come on, let's go!
Lightning McQueen: No, no, no, no! No tires, just gas! (drives away)
Not Chuck: What?! You need tires, you idiot!
(One of the pitties slams a tire onto the ground.)
Darrell Cartrip: Looks like it's all gas-and-go's for McQueen today.
Bob Cutlass: That's right. No tires again.
Darrell Cartrip: Now normally, I'd say that's a short-term gain, long-term loss, but it sure is workin' for him. Hey, he obviously knows somethin' we don't know.
(The scene continues progressing through the race, with McQueen having a huge lead and starting the last lap.)
Bob Cutlass: This is it, Darrell. One lap to go and Lightning McQueen has a huge lead.
Darrell Cartrip: Ah, he's got it in the bag. Call in the dogs and put out the fire! We're gonna crown us a new champion!
Junior: Lightning is gonna win!
Crowd: (cheers and whistles)
Mia and Tia: (both scream)
Lightning McQueen: Checkered flag, here I come!
(Suddenly, one of McQueen's rear tires blows.)
Darrell Cartrip: Oh, no! McQueen's blown a tire!
Crowd: (gasps)
Veggie and Character Gang: (gasp)
Bob Cutlass: And with only one turn to go! Can he make it?
Not Chuck: You fool!
Rust-eze Pitty 2: (grunts and knocks down a cart of tires)
(McQueen is struggling to get to the finish line while his bare wheel causes sparks on the track. The camera then shows the King and Chick as they see McQueen's wheel on the TV screen with no tire.)
Roger Wheeler (The King's Crew Chief) : (through the radio) McQueen's blown a tire! McQueen's blown a tire! Go, go, go, go, go, GO!
(The King and Chick then go faster as McQueen is driving slightly slower with one tire lost.)
Lightning McQueen: (grunts)
(Suddenly, his other rear tire blows.)
Lightning McQueen: Aah!
Darrell Cartrip: He's lost another tire! The King and Chick are coming up fast!
Bob Cutlass: They're entering turn three!
Lightning McQueen: Come on! (grunts)
(The camera shows the other racers catching up.)
Darrell Cartrip: I don't believe what I'm watching, Bob! Lightning McQueen is 100 feet from his Piston Cup!
Lightning McQueen: (gasps and continuously does several jumps towards the finish line as the King and Chick are getting closer)
Chick Hicks: (growls and finally gets beside the King, but not in front of him)
Bob Cutlass: The King and Chick rounding turn four.
(McQueen is still jumping continuously towards the finish line as the King and Chick get closer and closer.)
Darrell Cartrip: Down the stretch they come! And it's, and it's...
(The King and Chick cross the finish line along with McQueen stretching his tongue out over it.)
Bob Cutlass: It's too close to call!
Darrell Cartrip: I don't believe it!
Bob Cutlass: Too close to call!
Mia and Tia: Lightning!
Darrell Cartrip: I don't believe it! (cheers)
Bob Cutlass: (while Darrell is talking) The most spectacular, amazing, unequivocally, unbelievable ending in the history of the world!
Darrell Cartrip: Look at that!
Bob Cutlass: And we don't even know who won!
(The officials are then shown watching replays of the finish at different angles.)
Security Officer 1: That's very close to call.
Security Officer 2: Can we play that again?
(Meanwhile, one of the security officers, named Richard Clayton Kensington, notices someone watching them with a camera.)
Richard Clayton Kensington: Hey, no cameras! Get outta here!
(The screen shows from a reporter's camera filming Kori Turbowitz with McQueen and his pit crew as the Rust-eze pitties change his tires while the team watch from a distance.)
Kori Turbowitz: We're here in Victory Lane, awaiting the race results. McQueen, that was quite a risky move, not taking tires.
Not Chuck: Tell me about it!
Kori Turbowitz: Are you sorry you didn't have a crew chief out there?
Not Chuck: Ha!
Lightning McQueen: (chuckles) Oh, Kori. There's a lot more to racing than just winning. I mean, taking the race by a full lap... Where's the entertainment in that?
Not Chuck: Ha!
Lightning McQueen: No, no. I wanted to give the folks a little sizzle.
Not Chuck: Sizzle?
Lightning McQueen: Am I sorry I didn't have a crew chief? No. I'm not. Cause I'm a one man show.
Not Chuck: What? Oh, yeah, right.
Kori Turbowitz: (to the TV audience) That was a very confident Lightning McQueen. Coming to you live from Victory Lane, I'm Kori Turbowitz.
(Kori then drives away, while the reporter tries to get McQueen's bolt sticker on the TV screen. Not Chuck was blocking the view while changing one of McQueen's tires.)
Reporter: Hey! Get outta the shot.
Lightning McQueen: Yo, Chuck. Chuck, what are you doing? You're blockin' the camera! Everyone wants to see the bolt.
Not Chuck: What?!
Lightning McQueen: Now, back away.
Not Chuck: (groans and slams his air wrench towards the ground) That's it! Come on, guys.
(The Rust-eze pitties then leave.)
Lightning McQueen: (as one of the pitties drops his side onto the ground) Ow! Whoa, team! Where are you going?
Not Chuck: We quit, Mr. One-Man Show!
Lightning McQueen: Oh, OK, leave. Fine. (chuckles) How will I ever find anyone else who knows how to fill me up with gas?
(The crowd then laughs.)
Lightning McQueen: Adios, Chuck!
Not Chuck: And my name is Not Chuck!
Lightning McQueen: Oh, whatever.
(Chick and his crew emerge from the crowd)
Chick Hicks: Hey, Lightning! Yo, McQueen! That was some pretty darn nice racing out there. BY ME! (laughs) Welcome to the Chick Era baby! The Piston Cup? It's mine, dude. It's mine... (to his crew) Hey, fellas, how do you I'd look in Dinoco blue? Dinoco blue! (laughs again)
Lightning McQueen: In your dreams, Thunder.
Chick Hicks: Yeah, right. Thunder? What's he talkin' about, "Thunder"?
Lightning McQueen: You know, 'cause thunder always comes after lightning. (poses to the crowd) Ka-ping! Ka-pow!
Chick Hicks: (to his pitties) Who knew about the thunder thing?
HTB Pitty: I didn't.
(The crowd then tries to take pictures of McQueen posing his flashing bolt sticker to them.)
Photographer 1: Give us the bolt, McQueen!
Photographer 2: That's right.
Photographer 3: Right in the lens.
Houser Boon: Show us the bolt!
Photographer 4: Show me the bolt, baby!
Photographer 5: Smile, McQueen!
Photographer 6: Show me the bolt, McQueen!
Photographer 7: That's it!
Lightning McQueen: Ka-chow! Ka-ping! Ka-pow!
(Meanwhile, at the Dinoco Tent)
Tex Dinoco: Oh-ee! That was one close finish. You sure made Dinoco proud. Thank you, King.
The King: Well, Tex, you've been good to me all these years. It's the least I could do.
Lynda Weathers: Whatever happens, you're a winner to me, you old daddy rabbit.
The King: Thanks, dear. Wouldn't be nothing without you.
(Lightning is still being photographed when Mia and Tia push their way through to him. Then Mia and Tia come up, screaming for McQueen.)
Mia: I'm Mia.
Tia: I'm Tia.
Mia and Tia: We're, like, your biggest fans! Ka-chow! (they flash McQueen with their headlights)
Lightning McQueen: I love being me.
(Then two police officers come up to move Mia and Tia away.)
Police: OK, girls, that's it!
Mia and Tia: We love you, Lightning!
(McQueen chuckles, and blows a kiss to Mia and Tia. Then The King comes up.)
The King: Hey, buddy. You're one gutsy racer.
Lightning McQueen: Oh, hey, Mr. The King.
The King: And you got more talent in one lug nut than a lot of cars has got in their whole body.
Lightning McQueen: Really? Oh, that...
The King: But you're stupid.
Lightning McQueen: Excuse me?
The King: This ain't a one-man deal, kid. You need to wise up and get yourself a good crew chief and a good team. You ain't gonna win unless you got good folks behind you, (his voice dwindles as McQueen looks towards the Dinoco stage) and you let them do their job, like they should. Like I tell the boys at the shop...
Lightning McQueen: (to himself) A good team. Yeah...
(Electronic music plays as McQueen daydreams of being sponsored by Dinoco. It shows him with a trophy and two Dinoco Girls beside him, with one of the girls kissing him on the cheek. Then it shows his paint being changed to blue, removing his decals and replacing the Rust-eze logo with Dinoco's. It shows the text saying "The new face of Dinoco", and changing the text "The King" to a logo of McQueen with the text "Lightning McQueen". It then shows McQueen posing in a studio.)
Lightning McQueen: Ka-chow! Ka-pow!
(Then it shows McQueen on the covers of some magazines, and then it shows him with Mia and Tia in Dinoco paint on a red carpet being surrounded by a cheering crowd. Then it shows the text "Lightning McQueen is Lightning Storm". It shows some people being attacked by some giant robots with bodies shaped like spark plugs. One person, who gets zapped by a robot's laser, does the Wilhelm scream as he turns to dust. McQueen is flying in the air, and shoots missiles at the robots. Then the screen shows McQueen with Mia and Tia around the crowd from on the red carpet, which McQueen signs his tire marks on the Walk of Fame. Then it shows him inside a building near the Hollywood Sign, which he is between Mia and Tia painted gold.)
Mia: Oh, Lightning!
(Both Mia and Tia repeatedly kiss McQueen on the sides. Then his daydream ends as the screen shows the present day.)
The King: If you figure that out, you just gonna be OK.
Lightning McQueen: Oh, (clears his throat) yeah, that... That is spectacular advice. Thank you, Mr. The King.
(Just then, a fanfare is then heard.)
Lightning McQueen: Oh!
Bob Cutlass: Ladies and gentlemen, for the first time in Piston Cup history...
Lightning McQueen: (revving his engine) A rookie has won the Piston Cup. (He then drives through the wallpaper of the stage to the front.) Yes!
Bob Cutlass: …we have a three-way tie.
(McQueen was shocked at this. The crowd then cheers and flashes their cameras as confetti shoots out. Then The King and Chick come onto the stage.)
Chick Hicks: (chuckles) Hey, McQueen, that must be really embarrassing. But I wouldn't worry about it. Because I didn't do it! Ha-ha-ha-ha-ha!
Bob Cutlass: Piston Cup officials have determined that a tiebreaker race between the three leaders will be held in California in one week.
(The crowd continues taking pictures of the three leaders.)
Chick Hicks: Well, thank you! Thanks to all of you out there! Thank you! (whispers to McQueen) Hey, rook, first one to California gets Dinoco all to himself. (shouts to the crowd) Ah! No, not me! No, you rock, and you know that!
(Then the screen shows fireworks exploding in the sky as a blimp named Al Oft watches from above.)
Al Oft: Oh, yeah! Whoo!
(Then it shows McQueen in the trailer parking as he goes to his trailer's parking space. Some pitties are seen catching some tires being thrown by unseen people, including a Tank Coat pitty named Jerry Drivechain.)
Lightning McQueen: (mimicking Chick) "First one to California gets Dinoco all to himself." Oh, we'll see who gets there first, Chick.
(They then come to McQueen's trailer's parking space, but the trailer isn't there.)
Mr. Lunt: Excuse me, sir.
Lightning McQueen: Huh? Who are you?
Bob: I'm Bob the Tomato.
Larry: And i'm Larry the Cucumber We're the Veggie and Character Gang and, you are Lightning McQueen, right?
Lightning McQueen: Yeah. Why?
Junior: Well it is an honor to meet you. Im Junior Asparagus and i am a big fan of yours.
Lightning McQueen: Really?
Junior: And, we were watching the race and we wanted to say good race.
Lightning McQueen: Well, uh, thanks.
Larry: And we also wanted to uh...
(Then Mack approaches)
Mack: Hey, kid! Congrats on the tie! Oh, and who is those new characters with you?
Lightning McQueen: I don't want to talk about it. Come on! Let's go, Mack. Saddle up. What'd you do with my trailer?
Mack: I parked it over at your sponsor's tent.
Lightning McQueen: What?
Mickey Mouse: Why did you put it there, Mack?
Mack: He's gotta make his personal appearance.
Lightning McQueen: No. No! No, no, no, no!
(Then, a comercial on Lightning's sponsor starts)
Lightning McQueen: (on TV) Yes, yes, yes! Lightning McQueen here. And I use Rust-eze Medicated Bumper Ointment, new rear end formula! Nothing soothes a rusty bumper like Rust-eze.
(A picture of a Rust-eze container moves across the rear bumper of a rusty car named Jonathan Wrenchworths. As the container moves across, the bumper shines. Text appears saying "Actual results may take up to 36 weeks.")
Lightning McQueen: (on TV) Wow! Look at that shine! Use Rust-eze and you too can look like me! Ka-chow!
(The commercial ends, and the screen zooms out to show the rusty cars in the Rust-eze tent. On the stage was the founder brothers Rusty and Dusty Rust-eze.)
Rusty and Dusty Rust-eze: (both laugh)
Rusty Rust-eze: I met this car from Swampscott. He was so rusty he didn't even cast a shadow. (giggles)
Rusty and Dusty Rust-eze: (laughs) You could see his dirty undercarriage.
Rusty cars: (all laugh)
(The screen zooms out to show McQueen, The Veggie and Character Gang and Mack outside the tent entrance which has two McQueen cardboard cut-outs. McQueen was hiding behind one of them.)
Wanda: So, that's why you kept saying no earlier.
Lightning McQueen: I hate rusty cars. This is not good for my image.
Mertle: Tell me about it.
D.A: According to my research, who are rusting away.
Mack: (to McQueen) They did give you your big break. Besides, it's in your contract.
Lightning McQueen: (to Mack) Oh, will you stop, please? Just go get hooked up.
Junior: Let's go!
Lightning McQueen: Not so fast.
Junior: Why not?
Lightning McQueen: Look, I appreciate the offer of you all wanting to come with me, but I'd really rather go on my own.
Lilo: No can do, We sure ain't lettin' any new friend of ours goin' to California alone. We're all stickin' to you like caramel on a candy apple.
Veggie and Character Gang: (agreeing) Yeah!
Lightning McQueen: (sighs) Fine, everyone. But you'll all have to keep up with me. Very Quick!
Pooh: What? Why?
Lightning McQueen: Because, this race is important to me. And it's extremely important that I win and you make sure that I do. On my own. I work solo.
Keesha: Fine, whatever.
Lilo: He sounds a lot like you Mertle.
Mertle: Oh Really?
(In the tent)
Dusty Rust-eze: Winter is a grand old time.
Rusty Rust-eze: Of this there are no ifs or buts.
(While Dusty and Rusty were talking, McQueen is hiding behind cardboard cut-outs as he and the Veggie and Character gang enter the tent.)
Dusty Rust-eze: But remember, all that salt and grime...
Rusty Rust-eze: Can rust your bolts, affect your bones and muscles and freeze your...
(Then the cardboard cut-outs tilt over, exposing McQueen to the rusty cars.)
Dusty Rust-eze: Hey, look! There he is!
(The rusty cars in the crowd then turn towards McQueen and the Veggie and Character Gang)
Dusty Rust-eze: Our almost champ!
(McQueen and the Veggie and Character Gang then move slowly to the stage as they try to avoid the rusty cars surrounding them.)
Dusty Rust-eze: Get your rear end in here, kid. And your new friends too.
Rusty car 1: Lightning McQueen, you are wicked fast!
Rusty car 2: That race was a pisser!
Rusty car 3: Yeah! You were booking, McQueen!
Lightning McQueen: G-Give me a little room, guys.
Tigger: Give us some room, too, please.
Fred: You're my hero, Mr. McQueen!
Lightning McQueen: Yes, I know. (chuckles as he reads Fred's name on his license plate) "Fred." Fred, thank you.
Fred: He knows my name. He knows my name! (his front bumper falls off)
Rusty and Dusty Rust-eze: (both laugh)
Dusty Rust-eze: Looking good, Freddie!
(McQueen and the Veggie and Character Gang then get on the stage.)
Rusty Rust-eze: Thank to you, Lightning, we had a banner year!
Dusty Rust-eze: Oh, I mean, we might even clear enough to buy you some headlights.
Rusty Rust-eze: Are you saying he doesn't have headlights?
Thomas: No headlights? How come?
Dusty Rust-eze: That's what I'm tellin' ya. They're just stickers!
Lightning McQueen: Well, you know, racecars don't need headlights because the track is always lit.
Emmy: I see.
Rusty Rust-eze: Yeah, well, so is my brother, but he still needs headlights.
Rusty cars: (all laugh)
Veggie and Character Gang: (laughing)
Elena, Teresa and Yuki: (laughing)
Lightning McQueen: (forced laughing)
Dusty Rust-eze: Ladies and gentlemen...
Rusty and Dusty Rust-eze: Lightning McQueen!
(The lights go out and Lightning is under a spotlight)
Car: Free Bird!
Lightning McQueen: You know, the Rust-eze Medicated Bumper Ointment team ran a great race today. And remember, with a little Rust-eze... (whispers to himself) And an insane amount of luck, (normal volume) ...you too, can look like me. Ka-chow.
(The rusty cars cheer as McQueen and the Veggie and Character Gang go into Mack's trailer.)
Rusty Rust-eze: Hey, kid.
Dusty Rust-eze: Aw! We love ya. And we're looking forward to another great year. Just like this year!
(One of the brothers laughs as McQueen poses himself with a smile as the trailer door closes to show a picture of the same pose.)
Lightning McQueen: Not on your life.
Minnie Mouse: Everybody into the Movie Time Travel Mobile!
Lilo: This is exciting! We get to go to California!
Junior: Well some of you can ride in the Time Travel Mobile Im going to ride with Lightning. Who's riding with us?

Mertle: Nu-uh! We have something better to do, (to Elena, Teresa and Yuki) right girls?
Yuki: Well... not really.
Teresa: According to the internet California is a fun state. And the tie breaker race is way cool!
Elena: Plus we're sick of you telling us what to do!
Mertle: Fine! If you wanna go with the freak and her weird friends then go! Im staying in the Movie Time Travel Mobile!
[Elena, Teresa and Yuki look at each other and agreement]
Elena, Teresa and Yuki: Okay!
Bob: Well then we see the rest of you in California.
[Larry, Junior, Emmy, Max, Cassie, Ord, Mickey, Pluto, Miss Frizzle's class, The Powerpuff Girls, Lilo, Stitch, Elena, Teresa and Yuki, get into Mack's tralier while the rest of the gang including Mertle get into the Time Travel Mobile]
Teresa: Lilo, you and your dog and the rest of you guys get us some seats cause we're going with you!
Lilo: Great!
Lightning McQueen: Well then get ready for a good road trip guys! We got a long way to go and only a few days to get there.
Junior: Well let's get going then!
Lilo: Right!
Yuki: Let's go! On to California!
(Mack then drives away.)
Rusty Rust-eze: Don't drive like my brother!
Dusty Rust-eze: Oh, yeah, don't drive like my brother!
Mack: California, here we come!
Lightning McQueen: Dinoco, here we come!
Larry: Whoo! LA, we're on our way!
(Life is a Highway plays. McQueen turns on the lights in the trailer. The screen shows all of his different merchandising)
Elena: Oh, my gosh, Life is a Highway! I love this song!
(Then it shows Mack exiting the Motor Speedway of the South and driving along the Interstate 40 to Los Angeles. Later, the screen shows Mack making faces with his reflection on the back of a tank truck. A car named Bertha Butterswagon is disgusted by this. Then the screen pans beside some telephone poles, where the birds from the Pixar short For the Birds are seen chirping. The screen then resumes to showing Mack progressing on his journey. Then it shows Mack driving through a desert The whole song then completely ends as in the evening, that same day, in the trailer it shows McQueen being massaged by brushes as the phone rings.)
Lightning McQueen: (moaning) Oh...oh…uh, I needed this. (presses a button to respond to the phone call, which makes the brushes go into the roof of the trailer) Hello?
Harv: Is this Lightning McQueen, the world's fastest racing machine?
Lightning McQueen: Is this Harv, the world's greatest agent?
Harv: And it is such an honor to be your agent that it almost hurts me to take ten percent of your winnings. And merchandising. And ancillary rights in perpetuity. Anyway, what a race, huh, champ! I did-- I didn't see it, but I heard you were great.
Lightning McQueen: (pressing buttons to change TV channels showing the finish of the previous race) Uh... Thanks, Harv.
Harv: Listen, they're giving you 20 tickets for the tiebreaker thing in Cali. I'll pass 'em on to your friends. You shoot me the names. You let Harv rock it for you. Alright, baby?
Lightning McQueen: Right. Friends. Yes, there's, um... (looks toward the characters, whom Larry just shakes his head at him to tell him to not say anything about them at all)
Harv: OK, I get it, Mr. Popular. So many friends you can't even narrow it down. Hey, when you get to town, you'd better make time for your best friend. Break bread with your mishpocheh here!
Lightning McQueen: Yeah, yeah! That'd be great! We should totally...
Harv: OK, I gotta jump, kid. Le-Let me know how it goes. I'm out.
(The call ends as the dial tone hums.)
Lightning McQueen: (sighs)
Bubbles: What's wrong, Lightning?
Lightning McQueen: I'm fine. It's just... I don't have any friends.
Larry: Really?
Lightning McQueen: Yeah. It's probably because so rich and famous.
Larry: Well, I'll be your friend Lightning.
Lightning McQueen: Really?
Lilo: Yeah, of course! We'll all be your friends.
Junior: Yah
Teresa: Even me, Yuki and Elena will. Even though we don't hang out with Lilo all the time Because Mertle thinks she's weird. But to tell you all the truth we actually do like Lilo.
Yuki and Elena: Yeah!
Lightning McQueen: Well, okay. I guess I could use a friend or two.
Junior: Thanks, McQueen.
Teresa: But don't tell Mertle that we like Lilo.
Emmy: Don't worry Teresa. We won't tell her. It will our little secret.
(Then some melodic beeping and wheels squeaking are heard.)
Buttercup: What was that?
(They look outside to see a minivan named Leroy Traffik who is driving by Mack.)
Lightning McQueen: What? A minivan? Oh, come on, Mack, you're in the slow lane. This is Lightning McQueen you're hauling here.
Larry: Don't forgot us too, Mack!
Mack: Just stopping off for a quick breather, kid and cucumber. Old Mack needs a rest. (starts to go onto the entrance to the Top Down Truckstop where Leroy is going)
Lightning McQueen: (through the radio) Absolutely not. We're driving straight through all night till we get to California. We agreed to it.
Veggie and Character Gang: What?!
Mack: All night? May I remind you federal DOT regs state...
Lightning McQueen: Come on, everyone, I need to get there before Chick and hang with Dinoco.
Mack: (groans as he sees some sleeping trucks) All those sleeping trucks. Hey, kid, I don't know if I can make it.
Lightning McQueen: Oh, sure you can, Mack. Look, it'll be easy. I'll stay up with you. And so will the Veggie and Character Gang here.
Ralphie: Wait, what?! We will?
Lightning McQueen: Yes.
Cassie: I don't know.
Carlos: If we do try to stay up all night we'll be All Nighted out. Get it? All Nighted Out? Ha ha!
Everyone: Carlos!
(McQueen looks at them)
Cassie: OK, OK, we will. At least we'll try.
Mack: (to McQueen) Are you guys sure about all night?
Lightning McQueen: All night long.
(Later that night, we see McQueen and the characters sleeping.)
Lightning McQueen: (snoring)
Characters: (snoring)
(That night, a drowsy Mack almost falls asleep)
Mack: (snores, wakes up, gasps and blubbers)
(Mack grunts as he tries to keep his eyes open. But they close again.)
Mack: (snores, and then wakes up) Uh! (blabbers for about five seconds, and tries to keep his eyes open)
(Then rap music is heard as the screen shows close-ups of the Delinquent Road Hazards with their engines revving. DJ is playing a short song called Rollin' in the Rearview. Wingo is shown opening his shades. Then the screen shows him, Boost and DJ overtaking a car onto the left lane, then overtaking another car onto the right lane. They then overtake a car named Duff Wrecks onto the middle lane. and the left of another. The traffic's horns are heard beeping. Snot Rod, meanwhile, was overtaking the first car onto the right lane and going along the same lane until he overtakes Duff. After, he then starts to sneeze.)
Snot Rod: (sniffing) Ah-choo!
(Snot Rod's sneezing causes himself to do an instant acceleration, open his throttle wide and shoot flames out of his headers, to which he then catches up to the other tuners as they come towards Mack. DJ drives onto the right lane beside, while Wingo and Boost drive onto the left lane. Snot Rod is behind Mack. Wingo then notices his reflection on Mack's trailer, and turns his interior lights on.)
Wingo: (laughs)
(Boost and DJ get in front of Mack, who is still concentrating to not fall asleep.)
Boost: Hey, yo, DJ!
DJ: What up?
Boost: We got ourselves a nodder.
DJ: (chuckles)
(Boost then drives onto the right lane, while DJ drives onto the middle lane that Mack is on. DJ then plays the song Songbird.)
Mack: Pretty music. (falls asleep and snores)
Boost: Yo, Wingo! Lane change, man. (pushes Mack onto the left lane towards Wingo)
Wingo: Ha-ha-ha! Right back at ya! (pushes Mack back towards Boost)
Snot Rod: Yeah!
Boost: (dodges in front) Oops! I missed.
Snot Rod: You going on vacation?
(The four cars laugh as Mack, who is still sleeping, moves onto the hard shoulder. The vibration of the hard shoulder causes McQueen and the characters to move slowly forward as they are still sleeping and snoring. One of McQueen's bobbleheads then falls onto a button which opens the trailer's door. The hard shoulder's vibration continues to make McQueen and the characters move forward onto the door which is pressing on the ground and causing sparks.)
Wingo: (chuckles)
Snot Rod: (sniffling) Ah... ah...
Boost: Oh, no, Snot Rod...
Snot Rod: Ah...
Wingo: He's gonna blow!
(DJ, Boost and Wingo then drive away as Snot Rod is still besides Mack and starting to sneeze.)
Snot Rod: Ah... Ah... AH-CHOO! (accelerates away)
Mack: (wakes up) Gesundheit! Whoa-a! One should never drive while drowsy.
(McQueen and the characters then fall off the trailer door onto the highway. The trailer door then closes. The sounds of tires squealing and horns honking are heard as some traffic drive around them still sleeping.)
Junior: (yawning) Morning alright? Where are we?
Lightning McQueen: (wakes up)
The non-vehicle members: (wakes up)
(Then the sound of a horn honking loudly is heard as a truck heads towards them.)
Lightning McQueen: Aaaaah!!
The non-vehicle members: (screaming)
Lilo: Look out!
(They drive out of the way, and continue driving the wrong way while dodging some more cars.)
Lightning McQueen: Whoa!
(Then three trucks on all three lanes are seen driving towards them, honking their horns.)
Lightning McQueen: Ah!
(They skid off the road into the dirt)
Blossom: What's going on?
Lightning McQueen: (breathes heavily as he sees a queue of trucks driving away) Mack!
Bugs Bunny: Come on, we'd better find him.
(They then drive back onto the lane, grunting as they drive in front of some traffic honking their horns. McQueen and the Veggie and Character Gang continue driving faster and overtaking some cars while trying to find Mack.)
Lightning McQueen: Mack!
(They then come across the queue of trucks and a few cars. They then accelerate faster, trying to find which truck is Mack.)
Ord: Mack, where are you?
Lightning McQueen: Hey, Mack! Mack!
Larry: Lightning, look over there!
(They notice a truck exiting the highway onto another road, thinking that it is Mack.)
Lightning McQueen: Mack! Mack, wait for me!
Arnold: Wait for us too!
(His engine is heard revving as they turn onto the same road that the truck is driving along. Their tires squeal as they slide onto the road, and they drive along the road with the truck far ahead.)
Lightning McQueen: Mack!
Lilo: Lightning, look, railway tracks.
(Lightning looks to his left to see a train coming)
Lightning McQueen: We have to beat the train!
(They cross in front of it with only milimeters to spare)
Lightning McQueen: Mack! Mack!
(They then get closer to the truck, who is slowing down at a 3-way junction.)
Lightning McQueen: Mack! Mack...wait up! (coughs from the truck's fumes) Mack. Mack! Mack!
(They then drive alongside the truck, but its trailer's side shows a sponsor for "Recycled Batteries". The screen then shows the truck, who is actually a Peterbilt named Jerry Recycled Batteries and is not Mack at all.)
Lightning McQueen: You're not Mack!
Jerry Recycled Batteries: Mack? I ain't no Mack! I'm a Peterbilt, for dang sake! (drives off) Turn on your lights, you morons!
Teresa: We're not morons.
Yuki: And we don't have headlamps.
(All the non-vehicle members and Lightning are all alone.)
Lightning McQueen: Mack...
Mickey: We're definitely lost, everyone. Totally completely lost!
Junior: (to McQueen) You're lost, aren't you? That means we're all lost!
Elena: We're lost, aren't we, Lilo?
Lilo: I don't know.
Bubbles: It sure is spooky out here.
Junior: Guys, how did this happen?
Emmy: Yes, that's what I don't understand.
Buttercup: Oh, McQueen? This is all your fault, pal!
Lightning McQueen: What? My fault?
Buttercup: Yeah!
Junior: I'm afraid that is right, McQueen. We are lost because of you.
Lightning McQueen: How is this even my fault?
Junior: Because if you hadn't driven all the way to Los Angeles by not letting Mack rest we wouldn't be in the mess!
Mickey: Yeah, you promised Mack that you'd stay up with him. All night long.
Cassie: But you broke it. Didin't you?
Lightning McQueen: Wait a minute. We agreed to drive straight there and you know it.
Lilo: Oh, sure, right.
Stitch: Yeah!
Lightning McQueen: And besides, you were supposed to make sure I won the California race. But you didn't warn me that I was about to fall out of Mack's trailer along with all of you.
Larry: Hey, for your information, you and we all fell fast asleep before this happened!
Lightning McQueen: I know that.
Yuki: Did not!
Lightning McQueen: Did too!
Teresa: Did not!
Lightning McQueen: Did too!
Elena: Did not!
Bubbles: (Furious) QUIET!!! (Pull back quickly to show Everyone. They have been stunned into silence; Bubbles has her arms crossed and an angry, fed-up expression on her face.) Guys, this is no time to fight and argue about this! Let's just figure out what to do.
Junior: Hmm? I guess Bubbles' is right.
Larry: Okay. So, how about we all hold hands and whistle a song?
Ord: We're gonna die!
(McQueen and the non-vehicle members, except Larry, Blossom, Bubbles, Buttercup, Mickey, Emmy and Cassie, run around in a panic.)
Emmy: Alright, everybody, stop! (She stops McQueen and the non-vehicle members and they calm down) Everyone, please! Stay calm! There's nothing to fear. We have each other.
Mickey: So, come on! We'll just find Mack and get back right on track!
Lilo: Then what are we waiting for? Let's find Mack before we get even more lost!
Larry: All we need now is to find our way back to Mack.
Lightning McQueen: The Interstate!
Elena: Good thinking, McQueen! (to herself) For now.
Junior: If we get to the interstate, we'll find Mack!
(Lightning reverses and then zooms off with the non-vehicle members, passing a sign that says Route 66. They then pass a billboard for Radiator Springs, waking up a dozing police car named Sheriff as they go)
Sheriff: Huh? Not in my town, you don't. (turns on his siren and gives chase)
(Lightning notices Sheriff behind him)
Lightning McQueen: Oh, no...
Arnold: It's a police car.
Phoebe: At my old school, we’ve never met a police car chasing us
Lightning McQueen: Oh, maybe he can help us.
Mickey: Maybe he can.
(Sheriff suddenly backfires McQueen and the non-vehicle members except Dorothy Ann thought that Sheriff is shooting at them.)
Lightning McQueen: He's shooting at us! Why is he shooting at us?!
D,A: Relax, Lightning, it was just a backfire!
Lightning McQueen: How do you know?
D,A: I can tell that car is old.
Sheriff: Oh, I ain't gone this fast in years. I'm gonna blow a gasket or somethin'.
Buttercup: Lightning!
Lilo: Slow down!
Lightning McQueen: Serpentine! Serpentine, serpentine!
(Sheriff sees this)
Sheriff: What in the blue blazes? Crazy hot rodder. And, who are those weird characters with him?
(Lightning McQueen drives on to avoid the Sheriff backfiring Meanwhile in a town called Radiator Springs)
Fillmore: I'm telling you, man, every third blink is slower.
Sarge: The sixties weren't good to you, were they?
(Then they hear backfiring noises as the music stops. The scene then goes to McQueen and the characters still being chased by Sheriff as they all see Radiator Springs in the distance.)
Lightning McQueen: What? That's not the Interstate!
Yuki: Where are we?
(Suddenly, Sheriff backfires again.)
Lightning McQueen: Ah! Oh!
(He hits road cones)
Lightning McQueen: Ow, ow, ow, ow, ow!
(Lightning McQueen dodges a few then nearly runs into a bigger one)
Lightning McQueen: Aaaahhh!!!
(Lightning misses the cones as the non-vehicle members hold onto McQueen as he go out of control, helpless to stop him. McQueen then drive away across the road. He comes up towards a fence.)
Mickey: Look out!
Lightning McQueen: No, no, no, no, no, no!
(He hits the fence, getting it caught on him.)
Lightning McQueen: Ow!
(McQueen is then heading towards a sign.)
Lightning McQueen: (screams)
(McQueen then drive to the left, heading for Flo's V8 Cafe.)
Fillmore: I'm not the only one seeing this, right?
(McQueen then appears, driving out of control and knocking over some cans.)
Lightning McQueen: Aah!
Buttercup: Watch out!
Sarge: Incoming!
Fillmore: Whoa, man!
(Sarge, Fillmore and Ramone drive out of the way.)
Lightning McQueen: No!
(The fence hits Ramone's body.)
Ramone: Hey! You scratched my paint!
(Guido hides behind the sign.)
Lilo: Look out for those tires!
Lightning McQueen: Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa!
(He drives across Luigi's Casa Della Tires, hitting several piles of tires.)
Luigi: My tires!
Larry: Sorry!
(He then drives along the main road towards the Courthouse & Fire Department, with tires all over his body.)
Lightning McQueen: (grunts as he spits out a tire in his mouth)
Red: (gasps and drives into the building)
Junior: Look out!
(McQueen continues driving along the road, spotting Stanley's statue.)
Lightning McQueen: Aaaahhh!!!
(He then drives around the statue, while hitting Red's flowers.)
Red: (gasps at his flowers being hit)
[The fence gets caught on Stanley's statue. McQueen notices, and tries to move backwards to get away from the statue. His tires squeal, and the cables vibrate as the statue starts to come off. Finally, the statue goes up into the air. McQueen stops moving, glad that the statue was gone. Suddenly, the statue lands in front of him on the road.]
Lightning McQueen: Aaaah!!
(He turns around and drives away, while pulling Stanley's statue. The pole beneath the base was destroying the road.)
Lightning McQueen: (shouts) Aaaaaahhhh!!!!!
[Flo, Ramone, Fillmore And Sarge watch as McQueen goes past them. The statue continues damaging the road before finally going up a ramp beside the road. The ramp splits in half as the statue lands on some telephone wires.]
Lightning McQueen: (strains as he struggles to move)
(McQueen then lose his grip, and the force pulls his back. He ends up hanging from the telephone wires as Stanley's statue flies through the air.)
Fillmore: Fly away, Stanley. Be free!
Red: (gasps as the statue comes towards him, and drives back into the courthouse)
(The statue lands back in its place, and the water resumes shooting out. Red then looks with shock. The music resumes as Sheriff drives slowly to McQueen who is still hanging from the telephone wires.)
Sheriff: (breathes heavily) Boy, you're in a heap of trouble.
Lightning McQueen: (sighs and closes his eyes and passed out)
(The screen then shows the non-vehicle members all suddenly feeling woozy and tired and suddenly they all collapsed and passed out as well. Sheriff and the townsfolk take notice of this.)
Fillmore: (offscreen) Hey, are you fellas alright?
Sarge: (offscreen) All these strange-looking characters just passed out all of a sudden.
Ramone: (offscreen) I have no idea, who are these guys. They're not even cars.
Flo: (offscreen) Me neither.
Sheriff: (offscreen) Well, they must be from somewhere. Maybe from another worlds and dimensions.
Luigi: (offscreen) What should-a we do with them and this road hazard?
Sheriff: (offscreen) You all let me take care of all of them. Once they all wake up, we'll get to the bottom of this. But right now, we should let them sleep.
(The next day, we see photographers at the Los Angeles International Speedway watching Mack arrive.)
Kori Turbowitz: We're live at the Los Angeles International Speedway as the first competitor, Lightning McQueen, is arriving at the track.
(The photographers and the rest of the Veggie and Character Gang are heard talking as they surround Mack.)
Photographer 1: McQueen, how's the trip?
Photographer 2: Is it true he's gonna pose for Cargirl?
Photographer 3: Lightning, what's your strategy?
(Mack's trailer door opens, with no one inside it.)
Crowd: (all gasp and take pictures with their cameras)
Bob: Oh No!
Mack: What? Did I forget to wipe my mud flaps?
Minnie: Oh no, Mack! McQueen and the rest of the Veggie and Character Gang aren't in the tralier!
Rest of the gang: [gasps]
Mertle: My friends too?
Minnie: Yes Mertle, your friends too.
Mertle: Oh, no.
Bob: We've got to find them! Goofy, sound the character alert! [Goofy does so] Veggie and Character gang, to the the movie time travel mobile!
[The screen shows the characters reporting to for duty]
Bob: Veggie and Character gang, McQueen, Larry, Mickey, Pluto, Mertle's friends and the rest of Veggie and Character gang are missing. We've got to find them.
(The screen then shows different news reporters reporting about McQueen's disappearance, and Mack then notices that he and the rest of the Veggie and Character Gang are missing.)
Dan Sclarkenberg: McQueen's driver arrived in California, but McQueen was missing.
Skip Ricter: Racecar Lightning McQueen was reported missing.
News Reporter 1: ...to race an unprecedented...
News Reporter 2: (while the screen shows photographers interviewing Dusty and Rusty Rust-eze) Sponsor stated they have no idea where he is.
Chuki: (speaks in Japanese about McQueen's disappearance)
Dale Earnhardt, Jr.: I just hope Lightning's OK. I sure would hate to see anything bad happen to him.
Jay Leno: I don't know what's harder to find, Lightning McQueen or a crew chief who'll work with him!
Sven: (German accent) Lightning McQueen must be found at all costs!
Chuck Manifold: They're all asking the same question: Where is McQueen?
(The screen shows McQueen sleeping in the Radiator Springs Municipal Impound that morning as he starts to regain consciousness.)
Lightning McQueen: (groaning) Oh, boy. Where am I?
(The screen then shows from McQueen's point of view as he wakes up. We see a rusty tow truck named Mater outside the impound gate.)
Mater: Mornin', sleepin' beauties!
Lightning McQueen: Ah! Ah!
The non-vehicle members: (waking up)
Mater: (laughs) Boy, I was wonderin' when you all was gonna wake up.
Lightning McQueen: Take whatever you want! Just don't hurt me!
(McQueen tries to reverse, then he felt a bump and heard a thud. He notices a parking boot on his tire, which it moves ahead as his tire was moving backwards.)
Lightning McQueen: A parking boot? Why do I have a parking boot on?
(The screen zooms out to show McQueen in the impound. And our heroes were camping in a huge tent that Sherrif put up for them last night.)
Lightning McQueen: What's going on here? Please!
(McQueen tries to push the parking boot back, but it wouldn't go underneath his tire.)
Mater: (chuckles) You're funny. I like you already.
Lilo: Oh my gosh, who are you?
Mater: My name's Mater.
Lightning McQueen: Mater?
Mater: Yeah, like "tuh-mater," but without the "tuh".
Larry: Mater, huh? I think that's a great name.
Mater: Why, thank you. What are your names?
[The non-vehicle members say their names to Mater]
Larry: We're the Veggie and Character Gang! We'll some of us anyway.
Mater: Well, it's mighty great to meet y'all!
Elena: Well, you seem awfully kindly.
Yuki: Not to mention nice and friendly.
Mater: Why, thank you, Mrs Elena and Yuki. And what's your name, big red car?
Lightning McQueen: You... You don't know my name?
Mater: Uh... No, I know your name. Is your name Mater too?
Lightning McQueen: What?
Junior: Well, we may to have tell you his real name later.
Lightning McQueen: Look, I need to get to California as fast as possible. Where am I?
Junior: Yeah. You see we had sort of a little disaster last night.
Blossom: Where are we, anyway?
Mater: Where are you? Shoot! You're all in Radiator Springs. The cutest little town in Carburetor County.
Lightning McQueen: (looks around to see a few old buildings) Oh, great. Just great!
Blossom: Really great!
Bubbles: Aww, Come on guys This town doesn't look too bad.
Mater: Well, if y'all think that's great, you should see the rest of the town.
Lightning McQueen: You know, I'd love to see the rest of the town!
Buttercup: (whispering) McQueen really wants to escape from this place, doesn't he?
Lilo: (whispering) That's pretty much what I'm thinking.
Stitch Yeah
Rest of the non-vehicle members: (muttered agreement)
Lightning McQueen: So if you could just open the gate, take this boot off, you and me, we go cruisin', check out the local scene...
Mater: Dad-gum! (gets ready to press the button for the gate)
Lightning McQueen: How'd that be, Tuhmater?
Mater: (about to press the button) Cool!
Sheriff: Mater!
(Mater then stops, and reverses as Sheriff arrives. McQueen then frown and the non-vehicle members then feel sorry for Mater.)
Sheriff: What did I tell you about talkin' to the accused?
Mater: To not to.
Sheriff: Well, quit your yappin' and tow this red delinquent road hazard to traffic court. (presses the button to open the gate) (to The non-vehicle members) And are you all are coming to traffic court, as well?
All: Yes sir.
Junior: We're all mad at him too!
Mater: (whispers to McQueen) Well, we'll talk later, Mater. (chuckles as he gets behind McQueen) "Later, Mater." That's funny! (uses his tow hook to grab McQueen's undercarriage)
Lightning McQueen: Ah!
(Then the screen skips to show the Radiator Springs Courthouse & Fire Department from outside as Sheriff's voice is heard.)
Sheriff: The Radiator Springs Traffic Court will come to order!
(Then the screen shows inside the building as McQueen and the whole gang enter the courtroom, which most of the other Radiator Springs residents were inside and were angry with McQueen for what he have done.)
Ramone: Hey, you scratched my paint! I oughta take a blowtorch to you, man!
(Then the screen shows McQueen as he moves his tire up while getting pushed by Mater into the courtroom to the accused space while the gang followed him too and they're angry at him too also.)
Luigi: [to McQueen] You broke-a the road! You a very bad car!
Fillmore: Fascist!
Sarge: Commie!
Lightning McQueen: (to Sheriff) Officer, talk to me, babe. How long is this gonna take? I gotta get to California, pronto.
Sheriff: Where's your lawyer?
Lightning McQueen: I don't know. Tahiti maybe. He's got a timeshare there.
Sheriff: (to The non-vehicle members) And how about you all?
Lilo: We don't have one.
Buttercup: (glaring at McQueen) And we're not the ones who caused all the damage here.
Elena, Teresa and Yuki: Yeah!
Sheriff: When a defendant has no lawyer, the court will assign one to him. (to the other residents) Hey! Anyone want to be his lawyer?
(All of the residents move back, except Mater.)
Mater: Shoot, I'll do it, Sheriff! (moves beside McQueen and our heroes)
Sheriff: All rise! The Honorable Doc Hudson presiding.
Ramone: (moves his body up from his tires)
Luigi: Show-off.
Sheriff: May Doc have mercy on your soul.
(The door bangs as Doc Hudson comes in, which the screen shows him from his side as he drives to his bench.)
Lightning McQueen: (gasps as he hears the door bang)
Blossom: What the...?
Doc Hudson: All right, I wanna know who's responsible for wreckin' my town, Sheriff. I want his hood on a platter! I'm gonna put him in jail till he's rot! No, check that.
Lightning McQueen: (gulps)
Lilo: (whispering) We'll do all the talking for you and tell him that this is all a huge honest mistake, accident and misunderstanding.
Bubbles: (whispering) Yeah, we'll be out of here before you know it.
Doc Hudson: (gets on some ramps that move him up to the top of his bench) I'm gonna put him in jail till the jail rots on top of him, and then I'm gonna move him to a new jail and let that jail rot. I'm... (notices McQueen and the Gang, as McQueen does a nervous grin)
Lilo: (clears her throat) Um, excuse me, Your Honor. My name is Lilo and I'm afraid this is all a huge honest mistake, misunderstanding and accident. You see...
Doc Hudson: Throw him out of here, Sheriff. I want him out of my courtroom. I want him out of our town! The same goes for all those other characters! Case dismissed.
Lightning McQueen: Yes!
Buttercup: What?
Teresa: That was fast.
Lilo: See? I told you he'd understand.
Mater: Boy, I'm purty good at this lawyerin' stuff.
Junior: (sarcastically) Of course you are.
(Then the door opens as Sally Carrera appears.)
Sally Carrera: Sorry I'm late, Your Honor!
(McQueen and The non-vehicle members turn around to see her, which McQueen instantly falls in love with her.)
Lightning McQueen: (to himself) Holy Porsche! She's gotta be from my attorney office.
(Sally then drives into the courtroom as our heroes turn back to the front.)
Lightning McQueen: (to Sally) Hey, thanks for comin', but we're all set. He's letting us go.
Carlos: That's right.
Wanda: We are free, for some odd reason.
Sally Carrera: [stops, and turns to McQueen and the characters] He's letting you all go?
Lightning McQueen: Yeah, your job's pretty easy today. All you have to do now is stand there and let me look at you. Listen, I'm gonna cut to the chase. Me, you, dinner. (reflects sunlight on his bolt sticker) Pi-cha-kow!
(The reflected sunlight shines on Sally's eyes.)
Sally Carrera: What the...? Ow! Oh!
Lightning McQueen: Ka-chow!
Sally Carrera: Please!
Lightning McQueen: (stops reflecting sunlight) I know. I get that reaction a lot. I create feelings in others that they themselves don't understand. (revs his engine)
Sally Carrera: Agh! Ow!
Lightning McQueen: Oh, I'm sorry. Did I scare you?
Mater: Well, a little bit, but I'll be all right.
Mickey: Uh... I think he means the female light blue car, Mater. But still a good answer for yourself.
Mater: Thanks, Mr Mickey.
Sally Carrera: OK. I'm gonna go talk to the judge.
Lightning McQueen: Do what you gotta do, baby. Oh, but listen. Be careful. Folks around here are not firing on all cylinders, if you know what I mean.
(Then we see Mater, who is trying to reflect sunlight on his wing mirror like what McQueen did with his bolt sticker earlier.)
Mater: Ka-ching!
(Then the sunlight goes into his eyes.)
Mater: Ah!
Lilo: Mater, are you alright?
Sally Carrera: (to McQueen) I'll keep that in mind. (to Mater) Hey there, Mater.
Mater: Howdy, Sally.
(Then McQueen's smile turn to frown.)
Sally Carrera: (to the other Radiator Springs residents) Hi, folks! (drives to Doc)
Other Radiator Springs residents: Good morning!
Lightning McQueen: (to Mater) You know her?
Mater: She's the town attorney and my fiancée.
Lightning McQueen: What?!
Larry: Are you serious, Mater?
Mater: (smacks McQueen with his tire) Nah, I'm just kiddin'. She just likes me for my body.
Larry: Oh, right!
Emmy: Still, how interesting for someone in love.
Cassie: So her name is Sally and she's the town attorney and friend to these townsfolk in this room, right?
Mater: That's right, Mrs Cassie.
Sally Carrera: Doc, you look great this morning. Did you do something different with your side view mirrors?
Doc Hudson: What do you want, Sally?
Sally Carrera: (sighs) Come on, make this guy fix the road. The town needs this.
Doc Hudson: No. I know his type. Race car. That's the last thing this town needs. And I have no idea what kind of weird looking characters are they and they just didn't do anything wrong the night before.
Sally Carrera: OK, I didn't want to have to do this, Doc, but you leave me no choice. (to the other citizens and The non-vehicle members) Fellow citizens, you're all aware of our town's proud history. And this goes for you, team of strangers.
Doc Hudson: (to himself) Here she goes again.
Cassie: (to Sally) Um, what exactly do you mean, Sally?
Sally Carrera: You see, pink dragon, this is Radiator Springs, the glorious jewel strung on the necklace of Route 66, the mother road! It is our job and our pleasure to take care of the travelers on our stretch of that road.
Mater: (blows a bubble with his spit)
Elena, Teresa and Yuki: Ew!
Sarge: Travelers? What travelers?
Fillmore: Ignore him.
Sally Carrera: But how, I ask you, are we to care for those travelers if there is no road for them to drive on?
Larry: (thinks for a moment and realizes something) Hey, that could be the same back at Sodor.
Junior: What do you mean, Larry?
Larry: I mean, Junior, without any rails on Sodor, how will Thomas and his friends carry all the passengers and freight on Sir Topham Hatt's Railway?
Sally Carrera: Thank you for the details. (to Luigi) Luigi, what do you have at your store?
Luigi: Tires.
Sally Carrera: And if no one can get to you?
Luigi: I won't sell any... tires. I will lose everything!
Sally Carrera: Flo, what do you have at your store?
Flo: I have gas. Lotsa gas!
Mater and Ramone: (all laugh on a joke with gasoline and gas from farts)
Sally Carrera: OK boys, stay with me. A-And, Flo, what'll happen if no one can come to your station to buy gas?
Flo: I'll go outta business and... we'll have to leave town.
Sally Carrera: And what's gonna happen to all of us if Flo leaves town and closes her station?
Other Radiator Springs residents: Without gas, we're done for! We can't go!
Mater: We just sit there.
Lizzie: What?
Lilo: You know what? Sally's right!
Yuki: She is?
Lilo: Yes, Yuki. Lightning, though guilty for his actions, must right his wrongs.
Junior: And it was his own fault for making Mack and us stay up all night too.
Teresa: Im afraid to admit it even though Mertle says she's weird but Lilo and Junior are right.
Sally Carrera: Yes, so don't you think the car responsible should fix our road?
Lizzie: The only guy strong enough to fix that road is Big Al!
Ramone: Lizzie, Big Al left like, 15 years ago.
Lizzie: Then why are you bringing him up, you lemon?
Sally Carrera: Oh, he can do it. He's got the horsepower.
Elena: Well, he may not look strong, but he does the right horsepower.
Teresa and Yuki: Yeah!
Blossom: But he still needs to get the job he's tasked with done.
Sally Carrera: Correct-a-mondo. So, what do you want him to do?
Other Radiator Springs residents and The non-vehicle members: Fix the road!
Sally Carrera: Because we are a town worth fixing!
Other Radiator Springs residents and The non-vehicle members: Yay! (all cheer)
Doc Hudson: (honks his own horn, which represents banging a hammer) Order in the court! Seems like my mind has been changed for me.
Other Radiator Springs residents and The non-vehicle members: Yeah!
Lightning McQueen: No!
Fillmore: Nice ruling.
Lilo: I think it would be nice to stay here for a while. What do you think girls.
Teresa: Well even though you are usually the one who gets us into these messes, but this time Lightning did it...
Elena: We think it would be nice to stay here for a while too.
Lightning McQueen: (to Sally) Oh, I am so not taking you to dinner.
Sally Carrera: (chuckles) That's OK, Stickers. You can take Bessie.
Lilo: Uh-oh. Arguing with a lover.
Elena, Teresa and Yuki: Yeah!
Bubbles: And why are you calling him Stickers?
Junior: I guess this is because of this headlights thing.
Mater: Oh, man, you get to work with Bessie! I'd give my left two lug nuts for somethin' like that.
Lightning McQueen: Bessie? Who's Bessie?
Junior: Lightning, you just took the words right out of my mouth.
(The screen then skips to outside, where we see Bessie, who is a road-paving machine that is not a living vehicle. Tar is heard gurgling. Doc is next to her, with McQueen, The non-vehicle members and Mater.)
Doc Hudson: This here is Bessie, finest road-pavin' machine ever built.
Mickey: Wow! She's big.
Lilo: I've never seen a road-paving machine like that before.
Stitch: Wow.
Doc Hudson: (to McQueen) I'm hereby sentencing you to community service. You're gonna fix the road under my supervision.
Lightning McQueen: What?! This place is crazy!
Mater: (whispers to McQueen and The Gang) Hey, I know this may be a bad time right now, but, uh, you all owe me $32,000 in legal fees.
Lightning McQueen: What?!
Larry: That is a lot of money.
Max: You're telling me.
Mater: Im just kidding.
Doc Hudson: (to McQueen) So we're gonna hitch you up to sweet Bessie, and you're gonna pull her nice. You've got to do it all by yourself. And besides, all your friends did not did anything wrong last night. (to The Gang) So you all can just relax and hang out around here in this town and do not help him at all.
Mickey: Uh, sure, Doc.
Larry: Whatever you say.
Lightning McQueen: You gotta be kidding me.
Junior: If you smelt it, you dealt it, McQueen. Besides it was your own fault.
Doc Hudson: (to McQueen) You start there where the road begins. (drives to where the road begins from the courthouse) You finish down there where the road ends.
[Mater and the Gang get onto the road, facing towards the end of the town, and has a long swirly crack. McQueen moves his tire up, and moves himself forward so he can move with his parking boot still on.]
Mater: (looking at the damaged road) Holy shoot!
Lightning McQueen: Whoa, whoa, whoa! How long is this gonna take?
Doc Hudson: Well, fella does it right, should take him about five days.
Lightning McQueen: Five days? But I should be in California schmoozing Dinoco right now!
Doc Hudson: Then if I were you, I'd quit yappin' and start workin'! Hook him up, Mater.
Mater: Okay-dokey.
[Mater tries to get McQueen's parking boot off as the characters watched him do that.]
Mater: (grunts)
[Finally, McQueen's boot comes off. Suddenly, he quickly move away and into the distance.]
Lightning McQueen: Freedom!
[Doc and the characters crossly looked at Mater, who was shocked.]
Mater: Maybe I should've, uh, hooked him up to Bessie...and then, uh... then took the boot off. (looks at the others)
Junior: Mm-hmm.
Buttercup: Mm-hmm. Doesn't feel so good, does it?
Mater: Nope. No, it does not at all. (looks at Doc)
Blossom: Well some one should go get him.
Buttercup: I'll get him!
(She races after McQueen at super speed. Then the screen shows McQueen driving away from Radiator Springs, even driving past a billboard saying "Leaving so soon?")
Lightning McQueen: Whoo-hoo! Goodbye, Radiator Springs, and goodbye, Bessie! California, here I come! Yeah! Oh, feel that wind. Yes!
(But then, he start sputtering.)
Lightning McQueen: No. No, no, no. No, no, no, no, no. Outta gas? How can I be outta gas?
(He stopped near the other billboard, where Sheriff and Sally are as Buttercup catches up.)
Sheriff: (chuckles) Boy, we ain't as dumb as you think we are.
Lightning McQueen: (stutters) But how did, how did... you...?
Sally Carrera: We siphoned your gas while you were passed out. (reflects sunlight on her wing mirror) Ka-chow.
Lightning McQueen: (getting hit in the eyes by the reflected sunlight) Ow, ow, ow, ow.
Sheriff: (chuckles)
(Then Buttercup lifts him up and takes him back to town. The screen shows the traffic light, as its amber light continues blinking. Then we see Sheriff driving to Flo's V8 Cafe, where Fillmore and Sarge are standing.)
Sheriff: Gentlemen.
(The gas station bell dings.)
Sarge: Sheriff.
Fillmore: Hey, Sheriff.
(Then the screen shows Luigi and Guido at Luigi's Casa Della Tires as they are arguing about where some tires were put at the moment and before. Red is watering some flowers there.)
Luigi: Why the tires are here?
Guido: (speaking Italian) Sono sempre stati qui.
Luigi: They were better where they were before.
Guido: Stai sempre a parlare.
Luigi: Guido!
Lizzie: (to Red) Red, can you move over? I want to get a look at that sexy hot rod.
(While Lizzie was talking, Red stops watering. Then we see McQueen pulling Bessie slowly along the road between the many old closed shops, laying out tar behind Bessie. Mater was standing on the sidewalk and the whole of The non-vehicle members are with him.)
Mater: You know, fellas, I used to be a purty good whistler. I can't do it now, of course, on account of sometimes I get fluid built up in my engine block, but Doc said he's gonna fix it, though. He can fix about anything. That's why we made him the judge. Boy, y'all shoulda heard me on Giddy-up, Oom Papa Mow Mow. Now, I'm not one to brag but people come purty far to see me get low on the "Mow-Mow".
(Then a bubble of tar comes out from one of Bessie's pipes, pops, and a little slob of tar lands on McQueen's right bolt sticker.)
Lightning McQueen: Oh! Aw, man, that's just great!
Mickey: What's the matter now, McQueen?
Lightning McQueen: My lucky sticker's all dirty!
Mater: Ah, that ain't nothin'. I'll clean it for ya. (snorts, and hacks)
The non-vehicle members: (in unison) EW!
Lightning McQueen: No, no, no! That won't be necessary.
Teresa: That is disgusting.
Elena and Yuki: Yeah!
Lightning McQueen: (notices Red the fire truck, who was watering the same flowers at Luigi's store) Hey! Hey, big fella! Yeah, you in the red!
Red: (sees McQueen, and stops watering)
Lightning McQueen: I could use a little hose down. Help me wash this off.
(But Red instead leaves nervously, pushing the flowers away.)
Lightning McQueen: W-Where's he goin'?
Larry: What's the matter with him?
Mater: Oh, he's just a little bit shy, and he hates you for killin' his flowers.
Lilo: I think that was from last night.
Junior: Yep, it was.
Lightning McQueen: I shouldn't have to put up with this. I'm a precision instrument of speed and aerodynamics.
Mater: You hurt your what?
Lightning McQueen: I'm a very famous racecar!
(Then Luigi and Guido come over.)
Luigi: You are a famous racecar? A real racecar?
Lightning McQueen: Yes, I'm a real racecar. What do you think? Look at me.
Luigi: I have followed racing my entire life. My whole life!
Lightning McQueen: Then you know who I am. I'm Lightning McQueen.
Luigi: Lightning McQueen?!
Lightning McQueen: Yes! Yes!
Luigi: I must scream it to the world! My excitement from the top of someplace very high! (gasps) Do you know many Ferraris?
Lightning McQueen: No, no, no, no, no. They race on the European circuit. I'm in the Piston Cup!
(Then we see Luigi and Guido, who are now frowning.)
Lightning McQueen: What?
Junior: Why are you both frowning?
Luigi: Luigi follow only the Ferraris.
(Luigi and Guido then drive back to their store. McQueen then gets saddened at not being known because of Luigi watching just the Ferrari racing.)
Larry: Well, Lightning, seems fame and fortune has passed you by. [coughs] Maybe this would've been easier if you acted socialable.
Lightning McQueen: Socialable?
Flo: Is that what I think it is?
Emmy: What is it, Flo?
(The camera then shows Van and Minny in the distance, driving towards the town.)
Sally Carrera: Customers. Customers! Customers, everyone! Customers! OK!
Lizzie: Customers?
(Then, as Sally is talking, we see Luigi and Guido hearing Sally and are glad. Ramone then moves his body up. Mater gasps and drives to the crossroad. Sarge and Fillmore start driving to their stores.)
Sally Carrera: Alright, everybody! Calm down! Been a long time. Just remember what we rehearsed. Make sure your "Open, please come in" signs are out. And you all know what to do. All right, nobody panics. Here we go! (drives towards Van and Minny)
Yuki: And what was that all about?
Teresa: What do you think they're up to?
Bubbles: I have no idea and I don't know if I should be excited or scared to find out.
Blossom: I'm guessing they're just eager to impress.
Buttercup: Don't ask me. I have no idea about this neither.
Lilo: Well, guess we'll just have to wait until they reach us to find out.
(The camera then shows Van and Minny driving along the road, as they are lost trying to find the Interstate.)
Minny: Van, I just don't see any on-ramp anywhere.
Van: Minny, I know exactly where we are.
Minny: Yeah, we're in the middle of nowhere.
Van: Honey, please.
(Then Sally appears in front of them.)
Sally Carrera: Hello. Welcome to Radiator Springs, gateway to Ornament Valley. Legendary for its quality service and friendly hospitality. How we can help you?
Van: We don't need anything, thank you very much. (drives past Sally)
Minny: (to Van) Honey. Ask for directions to the Interstate. (drives along, while Sally follows)
(As Van and Minny drive along the road, they drive alongside the bumps caused by Stanley's statue.)
Van: There's no need to ask for directions, Minny. I know exactly where we're going.
Minny: (to Sally) He did the same thing on our trip to Shakopee. You know, we were headed over there for the Crazy Days, and we...
Van: (chuckles) OK. OK. Really. We're just peachy, OK?
Fillmore: What you really need is the sweet taste of my homemade, organic fuel.
Van: (giggles) No, it doesn't agree with my tank.
Minny: We're just trying to find the Interstate.
Sarge: Good to see you, solder! Come on by Sarge's Surplus Hut for all your government surplus needs.
Minny: Ohh! Honey, surplus!
Van: Honey, we have too much surplus.
Sally Carrera: Uh... I do have a map over at the Cozy Cone Motel. A-And if you do stay, we offer a free Lincoln Continental breakfast.
Minny: Honey, she's got a map.
Van: I don't need a map! I have the GPS. Never need a map again, thank you.
Flo: How 'bout somethin' to drink? Stop at Flo's V-Eight Café. Finest fuel on Route 66!
Van: No, we just topped off.
Luigi: And if you need tires, stop by Luigi's Casa Della Tires, home of the Leaning Tower of Tires.
Guido: (juggles tires while Luigi is talking, and ends with most of them in a pile with one standing up on top)
Minny: We're just trying to find the Interstate.
Ramone: But you do need a paint job, man. Ramone will paint you up right. Hey, anything you want! You know, like a flame job.
Minny: No thanks...
Ramone: Maybe ghost flames! You like old school pinstripin'? Von Dutch style, huh? (lifts his rear end up in front in Van and Minny)
Van and Minny: (both gasp)
Minny: Oh, honey, look. Von Dutch.
Van: (chuckles) OK, no. (chuckles, and starts to drive away along with Minny) We're gonna be going now, OK?
(Then Lizzie puts a bumper sticker attached to her tire onto Van's rear bumper.)
Van: Ow! (turns around towards Lizzie)
Lizzie: (laughs) A little somethin' to remember us by, OK?
Van: (laughs) OK! (drives away along with Minny)
Sally Carrera: Come back soon, OK? I mean, you know where we are! (chuckles) Tell your friends!
(Then the camera does a close-up of the bumper sticker, which shows Willy's Butte and a message saying "Nice Butte - Radiator Springs", and zooms out.)
Van: (chuckles) OK! Yes. You bet.
Minny: Thanks again, folks. Bye-bye now.
Lightning McQueen: Psst! Psst! Hey! Hey, hey, hey! I know how to get to the Interstate!
Minny: Oh, do ya?
Van: Minny, no.
Lightning McQueen: Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. No, not really. But listen. I'm Lightning McQueen, the famous racecar. I'm being held here against my will.
(Van then grins as Minny smiles at McQueen.)
Lightning McQueen: And I need you to call my team, so they can come rescue me and get me to California in time for me to win the Piston Cup. Do you understand?
(Van and Minny just stand for about three seconds of silence. Then their locks beep, their smiles turn to frowns, and they just leave.)
Lightning McQueen: No, no, no, no, no, no, no. Not, it's the truth! I'm telling you! You gotta help me! Don't leave me here! I'm in hillbilly nightmare! My IQ's dropping by the second! I'm becoming one of theeeeeem!!
(Van and Minny disappear as McQueen yells, and "them" is echoed.)
Junior: (groans and faints)
Lilo: (facepalms)
Blossom: (facepalms)
Mickey: (facepalms)
Larry: Why do I even bother?
Sally Carrera: (sighs, and then talks to the other residents) OK, don't worry. They know where we are now. They're gonna tell their friends. You'll see.
(A man's voice is heard on Lizzie's radio.)
Male DJ: We'll be right back for our Hank Williams marathon...
Sally Carrera: (as the other residents drive away) That's good.
Male DJ: ...after a quick Piston Cup update.
Kori Turbowitz: (through the radio) Still no sign of Lightning McQueen. Meanwhile, Chick Hicks arrived in California and today became the first person to spend practice time on the track.
Chick Hicks: (through the radio) Yeah, well, it's just nice to get out here before the other competitors. You know, get a head start. Gives me an edge.
(McQueen is then shocked as Chick talks. Electronic music plays as he daydreams of Chick instead being sponsored by Dinoco. First, we see Chick in front of Dinoco's stage touching Tex Dinoco with his tire, as the camera zooms out to show them and the Dinoco gang at the Los Angeles International Speedway laughing. Then we see Chick overtaking The King in the race, as The King is shocked.)
Chick Hicks: (as he overtakes The King) Hoo-hoo-hoo!
(Chick then crosses the finish line, and we then see him with his trophy and two Dinoco girls beside him. Then it shows his paint being changed to blue, removing most of his decals and replacing the Hostile Tankover Bank logo with Dinoco's. It shows the text saying "The new face of" above Chick and Tex before the text "Dinoco" covers the other text.)
Chick Hicks: Ha-ha!
(Then the screen shows the text "The King" changing to a logo of Chick with the text "Chick" and zooming out to show the Dinoco helicopter Rotor Turbosky winking on top of the stage with pictures of Chick all over it along with his name and the text "Chick likes Dinoco". It then shows Chick posing in the same studio as with McQueen in his previous daydream.)
Chick Hicks: Yeah!
(Then it shows Chick on the covers of the same magazines, and then it shows him with Mia and Tia in Dinoco paint on the same red carpet being surrounded by the same cheering crowd. Then it shows the text "Chick Thunder Hicks". It shows Chick flying through the air.)
Chick Hicks: Whoo!
(Then the screen shows two magnets pulled together and the text "Chick Magnet" Then it shows Chick inside the same building near the Hollywood Sign, which he is between Mia and Tia painted gold.)
Mia and Tia: (chatter and giggle)
(Then we see Mia and Tia pulled towards Chick like a magnet.)
Chick Hicks: Hey, McQueen... Eat your heart out.
(Then McQueen's daydream ends as the screen shows the present day.)
Lightning McQueen: (gasps) Oh! Mater, let me get this straight. We can go when this road is done. That's the deal, right?
Mater: That's what they done did said.
Lightning McQueen: OK. Outta my way. I got a road to finish.
(The screen then zooms in on two "End Construction Zone" signs in the distance.)
Lightning McQueen: (grunts and revs his engine)
(McQueen starts to move at his normal speed. Bits of tar come out of Bessie as McQueen drives faster. Mater and the non-vehicle members: are then shocked at seeing him move.)
Ord: And I thought he couldn't move so fast when pulling Bessie.
Cassie: I agree with you, Ord.
(Then the camera shows inside Doc Hudson's office as Mater comes in.)
Mater: He's done!
Doc Hudson: Done?
Mater: (nods his face) Uh-huh.
Doc Hudson: It's only been an hour.
(Then we see McQueen at the end of the construction zone, glad at laying tar across the whole road as the other residents and the non-vehicle members: are standing in front of him and looking shocked.)
Bessie: (groans)
Lightning McQueen: Ah, I'm done. Look, I'm finished. Just say thank you, and I'll be on my way. That's all you gotta say.
Lilo: (gasps)
(Then the camera moves up into the air and shows the new road which now looks incredibly bumpy and sloppy. Mater is seen beside it in the distance.)
Mater: Whee-hoo! I'm the first one on the new road! Oh! (drives onto the road, and vibrates as he moves over the bumpy tar, and several objects fall off him) It rides purty smooth. (continues vibrating)
Sally Carrera: It looks awful!
Lightning McQueen: Well, it matches the rest of the town.
Sally Carrera: Oh!
Red: (blubbers)
Emmy: What's wrong?
Red: (sobs, and drives away)
Sally Carrera: Red.
Red: (continue sobbing, and disappear as he drive around the impound, knocking over a pile of tires)
Max: Red, wait! (runs off after him)
Sally Carrera: Who do you think you are?
Lightning McQueen: Look! Doc said when I finish, I could go! That was the deal!
Doc Hudson: [driving up] The deal was you fix the road, not making it worse. Now, scrape it off! Start over again.
Lightning McQueen: Hey, look, grandpa, I'm not a bulldozer. I'm a race car.
Doc Hudson: Ho,ho,ho! Is that right? Then why don't we just have a little race? Me and you.
Sally Carrera: What?
Larry: Huh?
Lightning McQueen: [chuckles] Me and you. Is that a joke?
Doc Hudson: If you win, you go and I fix the road. If I win, you do the road my way.
Sheriff: Doc, what're you doin'?
Lilo: Are you insane?
Lightning McQueen: [laughs] I don't mean to be rude here Doc, but you probably go zero to sixty in like what? Three-point-five years?
Doc Hudson: Then I reckon you ain't got nothin' to worry about.
Lightning McQueen: You know what old timer? That's a wonderful idea. Let's race.
[Then the screen shows the sky, and moves down to show McQueen and Doc Hudson on a dirt road near which is a rock resembling the landmark of and a classic Pontiac hood ornament. Sheriff is front of them, telling them the rules. The other Radiator Springs residents and the non-vehicle members are seen attending. Luigi and Guido are wearing Ferrari merchandise, excited with watching a race. Luigi is waving a Ferrari flag on his antenna. McQueen is making small jumps to the left and right, and stretching his tires.]
Sheriff: Gentlemen, this will be a one-lap race. You will drive to Willy's Butte, go around Willy's Butte and come back. There will be no bumpin', no cheatin', no spittin', no bittin', no road rage, no maimin', no oil slickin', no pushin', no shovin', no backstabbin', no road-hoggin' and no lollygaggin'.
Lightning McQueen: [whispering to Doc] Speed. I'm speed. Float like a Cadillac, sting like a Beemer.
Luigi: [laughing] My friend Guido, he dream to give a real race car a pit stop!
Guido: [turns up] Pit stop!
Lightning McQueen: [groans, chuckles] The race is only one lap, guys. Uno lappo! [Luigi's smile then turns to a frown, while Guido is still shaking happily.] Don't need any help. I work solo mio.
Luigi: Fine. Race your way. [drives away to join the others, Guido is still standing there shaking happily.]
Lightning McQueen: No pit stoppo. Comprendo?
Guido: Okay. [drives away to join the others]
Buttercup: Sheesh!
Sheriff: Gentlemen. Start your engines!
[Doc Hudson starts his engine, which sputters, and smoke puffs out of his tailpipe. Then McQueen revs his engine furiously.]
Ramon's: Hijole! Check that out!
Filmore: Whoa.
Flo: Emm, emm?
Mickey: Aww great.
Sally Carrera: Great idea, Doc. Now the road will never get done.
Mickey: You can say that again.
Sheriff: Luigi? [then he joins the others as Luigi drives onto the road with his Ferrari flag to start the race.]
Luigi: [chuckling] On your mark, get set. Uno for the money, due for the show, tre to get ready, and quattro to... [While Luigi is talking, the screen does a closeup of McQueen and Doc's eyes. McQueen's eyes move towards Doc, whose eyes look furious. Luigi as McQueen revs his engine] I can't believe it... [waves his flag] Go!! [McQueen then starts off, and races towards Willy's Butte and leaving a pile of dust. Luigi laughs]
Sally Carrera: Yeah.
Radiator Springs Residents and the non-vehicle members: (Cheer)
Luigi: Huh? [As the dust clears, we see that Doc is still there, not moving.] Doc, the flag means go. Remember the flag. Here we go. Go. [But Doc is still not moving.]
Ramone: Um... Doc, what are you doing, man?
Lilo: You're gonna let him win!
Doc Hudson: Oh, dear. It would seem I'm off to a poor start. Well, better late than never. Come on, Mater. Might need a little help.
Tow Mater: Um, okay. [drives alongside Doc]
Doc Hudson: You got your tow cable?
Tow Mater: [showing his tow cable] Well, yeah. I always got my tow cable. Why?
Doc Hudson: Oh, just in case.
[Then we see McQueen driving around the first curve, and towards the final turn. His front wheels turn left, but he then gets shocked as instead of going left, he went right, fell off the side and towards a cactus patch in the valley.]
Lightning McQueen: [screams] AH, OW, OW, OW, OW, NO, NO, NO, NO, NO, NO, NO!!! [hits the cacti]
Ramone: Oh, man! Ow!
Flo: Ow!
The non-vehicle members: Oooh.
Filmore: Whoa. Bad trip, man.
Doc Hudson: [McQueen tries to reverse out of the cactus, but he couldn't budge. Then Doc and Mater turn up to the cliff.] Hey! Was that floating like a Cadillac, or was that stinging like a Beemer? I'm confused.
Tow Mater: [chuckles]
Doc Hudson: You drive like you fix roads. [McQueen's frowns angrily] Lousy! [to Mater] Have fun fishing, Mater. [drives off]
Lightning McQueen: [Mater swings his tow cable, and throws his hook towards McQueen, which it grabs onto his rear end.] Aah! [Mater then pulls McQueen out of the cactus.]
Tow Mater: I'm startin' to think he knowed you was gonna crash!
Lightning McQueen: [as he gets pulled up the side of the valley] Thank you, Mater. Thank you.
[Then the screen shows McQueen scraping the tar off the road with a shovel, as the other residents and the non-vehicle members watch him.]
Lightning McQueen: I can make a little turn on dirt. You think? [grunts as he scrapes another bit of tar] No. And now I'm a day behind. I'm never gonna get outta here!
Ramone: Hey, ese! You need a new paint job, man!
Lightning McQueen: No, thank you.
Filmore: How 'bout some organic fuel?
Sarge: That freak juice?
Buttercup: Freak juice?
Lightning McQueen: Pass.
Flo: Whoo! Watchin' him workin' is makin' me thirsty. [to Mater] Anybody else want somethin' to drink?
Tow Mater: Nah, not me, Flo. I'm on one of them there special diets. [a few bits of spit comes out of him as he says "special"] I'm a precisional instrument of speed and air-matics.
Larry: Well i am hungry. Anybody else hungry? I got some sardines.
Elena, Teresa and Yuki: Ewww!
Larry: Not you three.
Lightning McQueen: "You race like you fix roads." [groaning] I'll show him. [groaning again] I will show him! [Then the screen shows at night time as Doc drives towards his building named Doctor Hudson: Dr. of Internal Combustion. He then looks to the right, which we see McQueen pulling Bessie at the start, while Sheriff is watching him with his magnetic beacon on. Laughing sounds are made by Bessie's engine as tar splats on McQueen shaking the tar off.] Aw, great!! I hate it!! Hate, hate, hate, hate it!!!
Doc Hudson: [chuckles] Music. Sweet music. [drives into his building]
Sally Carrera: Maybe this wasn't such a good idea.
Lightning McQueen: Radiator Springs, a happy place!!
Bessie: [clucking] [Sally drives into her building at the Cozy Cone Motel as the rest of all go into their tents to try to get some sleep but they can't cause of the fart noises and McQueen's very loud complaining]
Lightning McQueen: [Then another slop of tar lands on McQueen.] Whoa, okay, Bessie you think that funny?! Great!! I'm talking to Bessie now!! I'm talkin' to Bessie!!!
[Then the screen shows the next morning, and moves down to Sally exiting her building and the whole of all coming out of their tents, all dressed in their regular outfits.]
Lilo: [yawns] I didin't get any sleep last night.
Yuki: Neither did we.
[Then, they all hear Mater, who is heard laughing and cheering.]
Sally Carrera: Wow!
Larry: Whoa! Would you look at that?
[She and the team then went to the crossroad, to which it is then shown that there is flat tarmac on the part of the road from the courthouse to the end of the crossroad. Mater driving around on the tarmac]
Tow Mater: Mornin', Sally! Mornin', Guys! Hey, look at this here fancy new road that Lightnin' McQueen done just made!
Sally Carrera: Yes! Ahmm. Amazing!
Junior: Wow! Look at that road!
[Luigi and Guido are also seen, impressed at the new tarmac. Then we see Ramone, who has changed his paint from purple to green. Ramone driving on the new tarmac, lifts his front up]
Ramone: Yeah! [sighs and moves his front back down]
Larry: Oooh! Ramone, you've changed your paint to green! That's my favorite color!
Cassie: Mine too!
Buttercup Me too!
Ramone: Well i'm glad you three like it.
Flo: Oh, Ramone, Mama ain't seen you that low in years.
Ramone: I haven't seen a road like this in years.
Flo: Well, then let's cruise, baby.
Ramone: Low and slow.
Luigi: [speaking Italian] E Bellissima! It's beautiful! Guido, look, it's a like it was paved by angels. Oh!!
Junior: You have to admit, Lightning did do a good job.
Tow Mater: Oh, I tell you what Mr Junior. I bet even the roads on the moon ain't this smooth.
Sally Carrera: Doc, look at this! Should a tossed him into the cactus a lot sooner, huh?
Doc Hudson: Well, he ain't finished yet. Still got a long way to go.
Mickey: Well at least he got half way there.
Phoebe: I agree.
[Then the screen shows all of the other residents driving on the tarmac. Luigi is being towed by Mater.]
Luigi: Guido, look at Luigi! [Mater lets go, and Luigi slides across the tarmac at the crossroad. Luigi driving back and forth once across the tarmac, Luigi chuckling] This is fantastico!
Sally Carrera: That looks like fun! Mater, I got dibs, next turn!
Max: No me! I want a turn!
Bubbles: No me!
Lizzie: Hey, Luigi, this new road makes your place look like a dump.
Luigi: [groans] That crazy old devil woman. [sighs as he and Guido get shocked at the look of their store] She's right!
Sally Carrera: [shrieks and sliding along the tarmac and back the other way]
Luigi: Guido!
Doc Hudson: Huh! That punk actually did a good job. [noticing Bessie on the other road] Well, now... where the heck is he?
[Then the screen shows Lightning McQueen in the desert driving on the same dirt road used for the race track as a practice for the tiebreaker race in California. Doc then comes to Sheriff, who was watching McQueen.] Sheriff! Is he making another run for it?
Sheriff: No, no. He ran outta asphalt in the middle of the night, and asked me if he could come down here. All he's trying to do is make that there turn.
Lightning McQueen: [slides off the track and onto the dirt] NO NO NO NO! Aw, great! [Doc says "Huh." and driving back onto the track] Perfect turns on every track I've ever raced on.
Doc Hudson: Sheriff, why don't you go get yourself a quart of oil at Flo's? I'll keep an eye on him.
Sheriff: Well thanks, Doc! I've been feeling a quart low. [drives back to Radiator Springs]
[We then see McQueen again, with his engine revs as he still tries to make the final turn. But again, he slides off the track onto the dirt.]
Lightning McQueen: AAH!!!!!
[His side moves towards the camera, which dust fills the screen. When it clears, we see McQueen with a tumbleweed on his head and McQueen spits dust out. Doc then appears in front of him as he moves the tumbleweed off.]
Doc Hudson: This ain't asphalt, son. This is dirt.
Lightning McQueen: Oh, great. What do you want? You here to gloat? [drives past slowly]
Doc Hudson: You don't have three-wheel brakes, so you got to pitch it hard, break it loose and then just drive it with the throttle. Give it too much, you'll be outta the dirt and into the tulips.
Lightning McQueen: [turns around] So you're a judge, a doctor and a racing expert.
Doc Hudson: I'll put it simple. If you goin' hard enough left, you'll find yourself turnin' right.
Lightning McQueen: Oh, right! That makes perfect sense. Turn right to go left! Yes! Thank you! Or should I say, "No, thank you"? Because in Opposite World, maybe that really means, "Thank you"! [his smile turns to a frown, then he starts his engine and drives off, McQueen scoffs] Crazy grandpa car. What an idiot!
Doc Hudson: [groans as he then drives away slowly back to Radiator Springs with his feelings hurt by McQueen.]
[Then we see McQueen driving around the first corner, and he looks towards Doc driving off.]
Lightning McQueen: Turn right to go left. [to Doc, drives away slowly back to Radiator Springs] Hmm... [He moves his front wheels right, but he then suddenly went right.] OH! [He then drives off the side, stays still in midair for a second, and falls down into the valley.] WHOA! [McQueen winds up in another cactus patch] OW! Oh, that-- [Then, a cactus falls and crashes on top of McQueen.] OOOOOOOOOOOOOWWWWWWWWWWW!!!!
[The screen shows McQueen, covered with little bits of cactus around him, as he continues pulling Bessie along the road to fix it after the second pack of asphalt is filled, while "Find Yourself" is playing and The non-vehicle members and Lizzie are watching and Elena, Teresa and Yuki are having a picnic]
Lightning McQueen: Turn right to go left. Guess what. I tried it. You know what? This crazy thing happened... I went right!
Lizzie: You keep talking to yourself, people will think you crazy!
Lightning McQueen: Thanks for the tip.
Lizzie: What? I wasn't talking to you!
Elena: We're starting to get tired of your complaining Lightning!
Teresa and Yuki: Yeah!
(Then the screen shows Luigi and Guido as they decorate their store, Mickey and his friends are helping them. Luigi is cleaning the windows from inside while Mickey and his friends is cleaning the windows from outside, and Guido is holding two rollers dipped in green paint from two trays and paints the wall beneath the windows. Sally then comes to them.)
Sally Carrera: Oh, Guido, è bellissimo!
Guido: Che cosa?
Sally Carrera: It looks great!
Guido: Ah! Ti piace, eh?
Sally Carrera: This is great!
Guido: Si, si, bellissimo.
(Luigi then comes out, happy on Sally's comments.)
Lightning McQueen: (calling out) Hey Mickey, I thought Doc said you guys could not help.
Mickey: (calling back) Hey, he only said we couldn't help you. Didn't say anything about me not helping ourselves or the townsfolk.
Lightning McQueen: (calling back) Riiiiight. That makes sense.
(Meanwhile, Mater uses his hook to get the "Tow Mater Towing & Salvage" sign upright while Madilynn Parker watch him.)
Mater: (grunts as he pulls his sign upright, then passes gas) Oh, Lord.
(Then the sign tilts to the other side.)
Mater: (chuckles)
Sheriff: Mater! I need you to watch the prisoner tonight.
Mater: Well, dad-gum! Wait a minute. What if he tries to run again?
Sheriff: Just let him run outta gas and tow him on back. But keep an eye on him.
Emmy: Wait a minute, Sheriff. What about us?
Sheriff: Well, I know you guys can't leave until he has done fixing the road, but now that you mentioned it, I think it would be a good idea for Mater to watch you all as well. You won't mind that, will you?
Max: Well, I suppose that could work out, just for tonight.
Mater: Yes sir! (closes one eye, and keeps the other open)
Sheriff: (groans) Oh... (drives away)
Cassie: [laughs]
Lightning McQueen: While I'm stuck here paving this stinkin' road, Chick's in California schmoozing Dinoco. My Dinoco. (feels something) Whoa, whoa, whoa! Who's touching me?!
(Guido then pops up beside him. He was spinning each of McQueen's tires to get the cactus bits off them, and uses a spray can on the tires.)
Luigi: You have a slow leak. Guido, he fix. You make-a such a nice new road. And your friends are so-a helpful and kind to us-a. You come to my shop. Luigi take-a good care of you. Even though you not a Ferrari.
(Then Lilo and Stitch come up them, after she finished cleaning up and decorating around the town.)
Lilo: What's wrong, Lightning?
Lightning McQueen: It's just these guys.
Luigi: (to Lilo) I was-a just-a offering your friend an offer after he was doing a grand job making such a nice new road. (to McQueen) You buy four tires, I give you a full-a size spare absolutely free!
Lightning McQueen: Look, I get all my tires for free.
Luigi: (chuckles) I like your style, eh? You drive the hard bargain. OK. Luigi make you a new deal. You buy one tire, I give you three for free!
(The screen shows Sally watching them, then she turns around to see Flo amazed with Ramone cleaning a fence around a house beside Ramone's House of Body Art.)
Flo: Oh, would you look at that? Ramone, Ramone!
Luigi: Then Luigi make you a new new deal.
(Sally Carrera then looks towards Red cleaning the Leaning Tower of Tires with his water, while McQueen and Luigi continue talking.)
Lightning McQueen: No, no, no, no. Deal me out. Pass. No, thank you. No, no, no, no. No.
(The screen then shows McQueen, Luigi, Guido, Lilo and Stitch.)
Luigi: This is it. My last offer. You buy one tire, I give you seven-a snow tires for free! Done. You interested, you call me. You all know where I am.
(Luigi and Guido then leave.)
Lightning McQueen: (exhales deeply)
Lilo: You know those are good deal Lightning.
Lightning McQueen: Yeah, but i..(Suddenly, a burst of water is shot out at McQueen, causing most of the cactus pieces on him to come off. Some of the water splashes on Stitch)..Ah! Stop! Let me...
(Then the water stops, as McQueen and Stitch cough.)
Lilo: Hey, where did that burst of water come from?
(The screen then turns around to show Sally Carrera and Red, who was shooting water at McQueen to get him clean.)
Sally Carrera: (noticing a cactus piece on McQueen's hood) Oh, Red, you missed a spot. See it right there? On the hood right there.
Lightning McQueen: No! No!
(Red then starts shooting water at McQueen again, struggling to get the cactus piece off McQueen's hood.)
Lightning McQueen: Ah! Stop, stop! That's cold! Help! Please!
(Finally, the cactus piece comes off, and Red stops.)
Lightning McQueen: Stop! (coughs and sputters)
Sally Carrera: Thanks, Red.
(Red then leaves.)
Lightning McQueen: [irate] What was that for?!
Sally Carrera: Do you all want to stay at the Cozy Cone or what?
Lightning McQueen: Huh?
Lilo: Huh?
Sally Carrera: I mean, if he does, he has to be clean. 'Cause even here in 'hillbilly hell' we have standards.
Lightning McQueen: What, I...? I don't get it.
Lilo: I don't get it either.
Sally Carrera: Nothing. I just thought I'd say thank you for doin' a great job. So I thought I'd let you stay with me. I mean, not with me! But there. N-Not with me there, but there in your own cozy cone. And you will all be there in your own cone. And I'd be in my cone, and it's...
Lightning McQueen: Wait. Wait, you're being nice to me.
Sally Carrera: I mean, if you want to stay at the dirty impound, that... that's fine. I understand you criminal types.
Lightning McQueen: No, no, no. That's OK. Yeah, the Cozy Cone. (looks at the Cozy Cone Motel)
Sally Carrera: It's newly refurbished.
Lilo: Wow. It does looks wonderful.
Lightning McQueen: (chuckles) Yeah, it's like a clever little twist. The motel's made out of caution cones, which, of course, cars usually try to avoid. But now we're gonna stay in them. (chuckles) That's funny.
Sally Carrera: Figure that all out on your own, did you? (reverses and turns around) Cone number one and Cone number two, if you want.
Lightning McQueen: Oh... (notices a tattoo on Sally Carrera's back) Hey, do I spy a little pinstriping tattoo back there?
Sally Carrera: Oh... (turns around and chuckles, then reverses) That's just a... (bumps into a pile of cones, with one on her roof) Oh!
Lightning McQueen and Sally Carrera: (both chuckle)
Sally Carrera: Oh, you saw that? Yeah. (chuckles) Just gonna be going. (reverses to the door of the building) Gonna... (the cone on her roof comes off as it hits the door) Yeah.
(McQueen then grins.)
Lilo: Yes, Sally does look lovely. Even for you, Lightning.
(The screen then zooms out to show Mater, and The dragon land gang next to them.)
Tow Mater: [McQueen gasps as Mater starts talking] You know, I once knew this girl doreen. Good-looking girl! Looked just like a jaguar, only she was a truck! You know, I used to crash into her, just so I could spoke to her!
Lightning McQueen: What are you talking about?
Tow Mater: I don't know. Hey, I know something we can do tonight, 'cause I'm in charge of watching you!
Lilo: Wait a minute. What do you mean, you're watching us all?
Cassie: Well, Lilo, Sheriff wants him to (makes air quotes) "hunt Lightning down if he tries to escape".
Ord: And he wants Mater to be keeping an eye on us too.
Emmy: Just to make sure we're safe.
Lilo: That's a good idea. How about you, Lightning?
Lightning McQueen: No, Lilo, I gotta finish this road, and I have to get out of here.
Emmy: What have you got against this town, Lighting?
Cassie: This town is not bad. And it's residents are very friendly.
Lightning McQueen: How do you know?
Lilo: Cause we have been helping them. And we got to know them. I mean you know Mater right?
Lightning McQueen: Oh.
Tow Mater: And it's all right, Mr. I Can't Turn On Dirt. You probably couldn't handle what i want to do with you guys tonight anyway.
Lightning McQueen: Whoa, whoa, easy now, Mater. You know who you're talking to? This is Lightning McQueen. I can handle anything.
[Then the screen shows McQueen and beside Mater, The dragon land gang, Ralphie, Arnold and Buttercup on top of a hill at night.]
Arnold: Huh?
Emmy: What?
Buttercup: You have got to be kidding, Mater.
Lightning McQueen: [Whispers] Mater, We're not doin' this.
Tow Mater: Aw, come on, you four will love it! [Mater chuckles. The screen then shows a field full of sleeping tractors.] Tractor-tippin's fun!
Larry: I want to try it.
Stitch: Stitch too!
Max: I do too.
Ord: Me too.
Lightning McQueen: This is ridiculous.
Buttercup: You can say that again. This sounds a little like cow tipping.
Arnold: I don't know about this.
Tow Mater: [to McQueen and characters] Alright, listen, when I say go, we go, but don't let Frank catch you, GO! [drives towards the field]
Lilo: Ok. [She, Stitch, Larry, Carlos, Ralphie, Max, and Ord head down with Mater]
Emmy: Wait! Wait, Wait, Wait! W--Wh--Who's Frank?
Arnold: Is he bad?
[Mater continues driving with Larry, Lilo, Stitch, Carlos, Ralphie, Max, and Ord, and enter the field. ]
Lightning McQueen: [whispering] Mater! Wait, Mater! [McQueen Emmy, Cassie, Buttercup and Arnold then follows Mater.]
Tow Mater: Okay, here's what you do, you just sneak up in front of them, and then honk? And they do the rest. Watch this. [tiptoes towards a tractor, and honks his horn loudly]
Tractor 1: (wakes up) Oh! Oh... Oh! Oh... (leans up and moos, then lands on its back)
(Then gas is heard sloshing, and the tractor backfires, which it sounded like farting.)
Mater: (laughs loudly)
Carlos: [laughing]
Lilo: [laughing]
Stitch: [laughing]
Larry: [laughing] That sounded just like farting! [laughs]
Tow Mater: I swear, tractors is so dumb! I tell you what, buddy, you don't get much better than this.
Lightning McQueen: Yep, you're livin' the dream, Mater boy.
Emmy: I just i was kinda funny. [giggles]
(Then Mater drives away towards another tractor, jumps up into the air, lands back on the ground, and honks his horn.)
Tractor 2: (wakes up) Oh! (leans up) Oh! Oh... (moos, and lands on its back)
[Mater then drives back to McQueen, and poses himself for the tractor's gas sloshing and the backfiring. Mater laughs again.]
Max and Ord: [laughing]
Emmy and Cassie: [laughing]
Tow Mater: I don't care who you are, that's funny right there.
Carlos: It sure is. [to McQueen] Ah, you turn, Lightning.
Lightning McQueen: Carlos, I can't. I don't even have a horn.
Carlos: Baby.
Lightning McQueen: I'm not a baby!
Emmy: Aw, come on, McQueen!
Max: Carlos' right! You can rev, you big metal chicken!
Tow Mater: [clucking]
Lightning McQueen: [to Mater] Fine. Stop, Stop, Okay? Alright, I'll do something.
[Then the screen shows McQueen driving slowly towards a tractor. He stops in front of it, and just watches]
Tractor 3: (snores)
(McQueen looks shocked, then he looks towards the characters and Mater, who grins and moves his tire towards the tractor.)
Max: (whispers) Chicken.
(The camera then shows from beneath the tractor's undercarriage as McQueen gets prepared to do something. The screen then does a close-up on McQueen as he revs his engine loudly. The characters cover their ears)
Tractor 3: (wakes up) Oh-h-h-h-h!
(Then all of the other tractors wake up.)
Tractors: (exclaim, and lean up) Moo-o-o-o-o! (all land on their backs) Moo-o-o-o-o!
[Then the tractors gurgle as Mater and McQueen look toward each other. Then the tractors all backfire, one by one. After one second, the last tractor remaining backfires.]
Lightning, Mater and characters [laughing loudly]
[Then an angry moo is heard in the distance as they all stop laughing.]
Arnold: Uh, what was that?
[Another moo is heard]
Lilo: I don't know.
Stitch: [pointing to something] [stuttering]
Lilo: What is it Stitch?
[She and the others look to where he is pointing. The screen then turns to show a bush, and some lights from behind as another moo is heard.]
Tow Mater: ...That's Frank.
Arnold: [gasps] Run! [ He and Mater drive away, while McQueen and the others is standing still]
Buttercup: What's so bad about this Frank?
[Then the bushes get shredded as Frank, a combine harvester appears and notices McQueen and the characters. Frank bellows angrily]
Lilo: [gasps in horror]
Lightning McQueen: [screams]
Characters: [scream]
Ord: RUN!!!!!
[McQueen revs his engine, and he and thw characters turn around and drive away quickly as Frank chases them. Frank bellows. Frank gets closer to McQueen and the characters, who then go faster as they notice.]
Buttercup: Hurry!
[They then catch up to Mater, who is laughing.]
Tow Mater: RUN!!! [continues laughing. Then the screen zooms out to show them heading towards the fence. The friends then turn to the left as Frank continues chasing them.]
Tow Mater: He here comes, Look out!
Lilo: Hurry! To the fence!
[Frank bellows, Mater laughs. Frank is then seen from his side as he gains on McQueen.]
Mate: Run, he's gonna get ya!
[The screen then shows from McQueen' point of view as they all come towards another end of the field where there was one piece in the fence, and Mater with McQueen and the characters drive through it. McQueen screams and Frank stops as he comes towards the edge of the field, and McQueen stop and then drive away on the road with Mater and the characters back to Radiator Springs. Mater laughs and so do the characters. Then the screen shows Sally inside the Cozy Cone Motel. Shadows then appear moving on the wall. Sally gasping and notices the shadows]
Sally Carrera: Customers!
[She drives towards the door, turns on the neon lights, and notices a light saying "no" going off and coming back on, turns the lights off, turns the lights on again, but the "no" light was on before and turned off when the other lights turned on. Then we see Mater, McQueen and the characters in the distance driving along the road.]
Ord: Whoo! That was close.
Cassie: Too close.
Tow Mater: Tomorrow night we can go look for the ghost light!
Lightning McQueen: We can't wait, Mater.
Tow Mater: Oh, yeah, I'm tellin' ya! [As Mater talks, the screen shows Sally, who notices them, sighs, grins and drives back into the building. Then the screen shows Mater, McQueen and the characters again.] Oh, boy, you gotta admit that was fun!
Lightning McQueen: Oh yeah, yeah.
Buttercup: It actually kinda was.
Stitch: Yeah!
Tow Mater: Well, we better get you back to the impound lot.
Lightning McQueen: Ya know, actually, Sally's gonna let me stay at the motel.
Tow Mater: Aw. Gettin' cozy at the Cone, is we?
Carlos: Good one, Mater!
Lightning McQueen: Oh, co-No, No, Are you kidding? Besides, she can't stand me. [McQueen scoffs] And I don't like her, to be honest.
Tow Mater: Yeah, you probably right: "HEY, LOOK, THERE'S MISS SALLY!"
Lightning McQueen: [looking around] Where-Where?!
Tow Mater: [laughing] [McQueen groans] You're in love with Miss Sally!
Lightning McQueen: [As the two are talking, Sally then turns to see them from inside the building.] No, I'm not.
Tow Mater: Yes, you do.
Lightning McQueen: No way.
Tow Mater: Way.
Carlos: Lover, Boy!
Lightning McQueen: Come on, look...
Tow Mater: [turns around and drives backwards] You're in love with Miss Sally! You're in love with Miss Sally!
Lightning McQueen: Okay, that's real mature Mater, real grown up.
Tow Mater: You love her! You love her, you love her! You love her, You love her, You love her!
Characters: [laughing]
Lightning McQueen: Wait... Alright, okay, Mater, Mater, Mater, enough! [Mater laughs and notices Mater driving backwards] Will you stop that?!
Lilo: Stop what?
Lightning McQueen: That drivin' backwards stuff. It's creeping me out. He's gonna wreck or somethin'.
Arnold: That is good advice.
Tow Mater: [stops moving] Wreck?! Shoot, I'm the world's best backwards driver! You just watch this right here, lover boy and friends.
Larry: Huh?
[He drives backwards with his lights on, drives towards one of the Cozy Cones]
Lightning McQueen: What are you doing?! Watch out, Look out! [Mater then drives around the cone.]
Buttercup: Whoa!
Lightning McQueen: Mater?! Mater! [Mater laughs as he drives around a few more cones] Mater!
[Mater's laughing wakes up the other characters]
Teresa: What's all that noise?!
[Sally watches as Mater drives around the building.]
Mickey: Larry, Lightning, guys, what's going on?
Larry: Look at what Mater's doing!
[Mater drives backwards onto the desert ground, stops, and starts spinning.]
Elena: Whoa!
Lightning McQueen: Hey, take it easy, Mater!
Tow Mater: [screams happily. Then Mater stops spinning, and drives backwards into the forest, laughing. Mater grunting and blubbering, and jumps high up into the air in front of the full orange Moon]
Tigger: What fantastic backwards driving!
Lightning McQueen: [Laughs] He's nuts!
Tow Mater: [drives back to McQueen while still going backwards] No need to watch where I'm goin'! [jumps and turns around as he stops in front of McQueen] Just need to know where I've been. [turns his lights off]
Lilo: Wow!
D.A: That was amazing!
Elena, Teresa and Yuki: [impressed] Yeah!
Lightning McQueen: Whoa, that was incredible!
Bugs Bunny: That was amazing! How did you do that, Mater?
Tow Mater: Rear view mirrors. [McQueen] We'll get you some, and I'll teach you if you want.
Yuki: [laughs] Well, even though you woke us up, That was cool!
Lightning McQueen: [chuckles] Yeah, maybe I'll use it in my big race. [drives along]
Tow Mater: What's so important about this race of yours, anyway?
Lightning McQueen: [stops moving, and turns around] It's not just a race. We're talkin' about the Piston Cup! I've been dreamin' about it my whole life! I'll be the first rookie in history ever to win it. And when I do, we're talkin' big new sponsor, with private helicopters. No more medicated bumper ointment. No more rusty old cars.
Tow Mater: What's wrong with rusty old cars?
Mickey: Well, he doesn't mean you, Mater. He means other old cars.
Lightning McQueen: Yeah Ya know? Not like you. I like you.
Tow Mater: It's OK, buddy.
Lightning McQueen: It's just you know. I've never been in a town like this.
Larry: Well, yeah. But like we said earlier. This town is not bad. And it's residents are very friendly. You just gotta get to know them.
Cassie: I bet if you really look in your heart, you'd find this town is very nice.
Lightning McQueen: Oh.
Mater: [to McQueen] Hey, you think maybe one day I can get a ride in one of them helicopters? I mean, I've always wanted to ride in one of 'em fancy helicopters.
Lightning McQueen: Yeah, yeah, yeah, sure, sure.
Tow Mater: You mean it?
Lightning McQueen: Oh, yeah. Anything you'd say.
Tow Mater: I knew it. I knowed I made a good choice!
Lightning McQueen: In what?
Tow Mater: My best friend.
[Then McQueen smile at this.]
Tow Mater: See ya tomorrow, buddy! [Mater then turns on his lights, swings his hook, and drives backwards around McQueen and back to his home. Mater singing as he drives backwards] McQueen and Sally parked beneath a tree, K-i-s-somethin'-somethin'-somethin'-t!
Lightning McQueen: [laughs] [Then he drives toward the Cozy Cone, as McQueen tries to go backwards and looks behind.] Whoa, whoa, whoa.
Mickey: Well, time to get back to sleep.
Larry: Well, i'm gotta talk to Lightning about this whole do thing by yourself thing.
Junior: Oh, i'll help you.
Emmy: Me, too.
Cassie: Me three.
Lilo: Me and Stitch will too.
Mickey: I guess i will also.
Bugs Bunny: So will i.
Blossom: Me and my sisters will.
Elena: Well the three of us are going back to sleep.
Lilo: Ok. Good night, girls.
[Elena, Teresa and Yuki go back to their tent. We then see Sally as she watches McQueen going to his Cozy Cone.]
Lightning McQueen: Now then... [looks around to find his cone] Number 1, number 1! [finds Cone number one] Oh, Number 1! [drives into the cone and looks around as Sally and the characters come to him.] Ha, this is nice.
Sally Carrera: Hey, Stickers! [McQueen screams and Sally shrieks] I'm sorry!
Lightning McQueen: [turns around] Whoa! You scared me, you gotta be careful.
Sally Carrera: I scared myself scarin' ya scaring me.
Lightning McQueen: I mean, I wasn't like "scared" scared.
Sally Carrera: No, of course not. Not.
Lightning McQueen: I was more...
Characters: [laughing]
Sally Carrera: Just I overheard you and the others here talkin' to Mater.
Larry: You did?
Lightning McQueen: When? Just, just now? What, what did, what did you hear?
Sally Carrera: Oh, just something about a helicopter ride.
Lightning McQueen: Oh, yeah. Yeah, he got a kick outta that, didn't he?
Sally Carrera: Did you mean it?
Lightning McQueen: What?
Lilo: That you'll get him a helicopter ride.
Lightning McQueen: Oh, who knows? I mean first things first. I gotta get outta here and make the race.
Lilo: Uh-huh.
Sally Carrera: You know Mater trusts you.
Lightning McQueen: Yeah, OK.
Sally Carrera: Did you mean that?
Lightning McQueen: What?
Sally Carrera: Was it just a "Yeah, OK", or "Yeah...OK" or "Yea-yeah, OK"?
Lightning McQueen: Look, I'm exhausted. It's kinda been a long day. I'd kinda like to get some sleep.
Larry: Well, we still have to talk with you about yourself.
Sally Carrera: Yeah, okay. Good night. [turns around and drives back to the building]
Lightning McQueen: [McQueen grunts as he remembers what asked him to do] Ah... Hey, thank you.
Sally Carrera: [Sally then stops, and turns around.] What did you just say?
Lightning McQueen: Ya know, thanks for lettin' me stay here. It's nice to be out of the impound, and this is... It's great. Newly refurbished, right?
Sally Carrera: Yeah.
Lightning McQueen: Good night.
Sally Carrera: Good night. [drives back to her building, She giggles.]
Lightning McQueen: Now, what did you guys wanna talk to me about?
Larry: Well, don't you think you should try being a little more humble, Lightning?
Lightning McQueen: Humble?
Lilo: Yeah. You self-centered attitude is how we're in this mess. And you not wanting to pave the road and you saying that you don't need help well,,,uh,,,
Lightning McQueen: But why should i be humble? I really don't need help.
Junior: Everyone needs help sometimes Lightning.
Mickey: But when you think you don't need help and when you don't help others well, you just make mistakes.
Lilo: Yeah. How can you be this way? All you care about is winning the piston cup and getting a new sponsor.
Lightning McQueen: Well, uh, the reason while i'm like this is when i first won my first race i got so wealthy and it all went up to my head that i didn't need help. And that's why i'm so self-centered.
Larry: Well, Humility is the opposite of pride. Someone is humble when they think about other people more than they think about themselves.
Emmy: And i bet you would have more friends if you were humble.
Lightning McQueen: Hmmm.
Larry: You know? You remind me of King Nebuchadnezzar.
Lightning McQueen: Who's King Nebuchadnezzar?
Larry: He was a king in the bible.
Lilo: Hey, maybe if we tell Lightning the story of King Nebuchadnezzar it might help him?
Cassie: Yeah.
Lightning McQueen: Well, alright. I suppose i could use a story to help me get to sleep.
Larry: Nebuchadnezzar ruled over a large kingdom. Babylon.
[As Larry narrates we fade to clips from the Veggietales Show episode A ShakeSparagus Play were Larry played Nebuchadnezzar]
Larry: And he was very proud of it. But he was very prideful and self-centered just like you Lightning.
Lightning McQueen: Really?
Larry: One night. The king had a dream, but it was not a nice one. In the dream, the king saw a large tree with great looking fruit! But workers came and cut down the tree.When the king woke up, he wanted to know what the dream meant, so he called in the prophet, Daniel. Daniel told him that King Nebuchadnezzar was the tree. And that he be kick out of his kingdom if he didin't humble himself. But the next day he still continued to be prideful and self-centered. So, God brought this mental illness upon him. He was thrown out from his kingdom and live in the fields acting like a cow eating grass.
[The story ends and we fade back to the cozy cone]
Lightning McQueen: Ew. That would be gross.
Junior: But you see, Lightning. You was never the winner of your first race. God is the real winner, You just had the honor to be a small part of God's creation.
[Lightning smiles at his fan of his lesson as The Humble Song starts]
Junior: I'm pretty special, you see! I've got talent and gifts and some ability! I could act like a star and boast near and far, but bragging is a trap, you see! Instead, I'll brag about my God and the gifts He's given me! It's God, you know, who makes us all so special! He gives us gifts to help each other, so we should look to others instead of to ourselves! Let's share God's love, we've all been called to spread it! You can't do that when all we do is brag. Before our heart can stumble, let's try to be more humble. Humble, humble, humble humble, humble, humble, hum..ble!
(As Junior is singing, Lightning moves to the song]
Cassie: I'm pretty special, I know.
Emmy: I play soccer.
Lilo: And softball!
Larry: And I play cello!
All: But we're no better than Him, we need to help others win!
Max: But bragging is a trap, you see.
Laura: Instead, I'll brag about my God, and the gifts He's given me!
All: It's God we know who makes us all so special! He gives us gifts to help each other so.
Tigger: We should look to others.
Pooh: Instead of to ourselves.
All: Let's share God's love, we've all been called to spread it. We can't do that when all we do is brag. Before our hearts can stumble, let's try to be more humble. Humble, humble, humble, humble, humble, humble, hum...ble!
[Songs ends as they see that Lightning is sound asleep smiling. Larry presses a button to close the door on the cone]
Larry: Sweet dreams Lightning.
[They all head back to their tents to get some shut eye as we fade to black]

(EXPLOSION)
Cars: Act II[]
[We go back to story as the next morning, we see the United States flag moving up to the top of a pole as a reveille plays. The screen then changes shot to the ground to show Sarge, who had raised the flag up. He salutes with his antenna. Then Sarge's bugle reveille gets interrupted by Jimi Hendrix's rendition of "The Star-Strangled Banner" being put on by Fillmore.]
Sarge: Will you turn that disrespectful junk off?!
Filmore: Respect the classics, man. It's Hendrix.
[Then the screen shows inside McQueen's cone, where he is still sleeping. And Larry is trying trying to wake him up]
Larry: Lightning? Lightning?
[McQueen groans, then breathes rapidly and mutters. Fast-paced electronic music plays as McQueen mutters, which it is shown that McQueen was dreaming of competing in the final race with The King and Chick, only that it was actually the Motor Speedway of the South circuit, not the Los Angeles International Speedway. Suddenly, Frank appears on the track, driving behind the three racers. Frank growling and Chick screaming. All three racers get shocked at seeing Frank. The King drives off the track, gets shredded by Frank's shredders. Then McQueen slides off the track. Frank crosses the finish line as the camera zooms in on Dexter Hoover's checkered flag and shows Frank on stage with his Piston Cup trophy, Tex and the Dinoco Girls. Two of the Dinoco Girls, who are on trophy models with discs on top, kiss Frank on his cheeks. Frank screaming loudly. Then the screen shows McQueen being surrounded by tractors, which one of them licks him. Tractor mooing.]
Larry's voice: LIGHTNING!!
[Then the screen shows back in the present, where McQueen wakes up from his dream by Larry's voice.]
Lightning McQueen: No! [gasping]
Larry: Come, on Lightning wake up! It's time for you to get back to work.
Lightning McQueen: Oh, Larry. It's you.
[Then an alarm beeps as a model car pops in and out of a miniature cone alarm clock.]
Lightning McQueen: I gotta get outta here! [The screen shows inside Doc Hudson's building as McQueen and Larry come in, notices Sheriff's rear, as Sheriff is on a ramp up in the air] Hey, have you seen the Sheriff? Oh! Oh, my gosh. Oh!
Doc Hudson: [The screen turns around as it shows that Doc Hudson was sorting something on Sheriff's undercarriage. Doc turns around] Hey, what are you doing?
Sheriff: Get a good peak, City Boy?
Lightning McQueen: [Stutters] I, a.. a.. I just need my daily gas ration from the Sheriff.
Doc Hudson: [angrily] Well, wait for him at Flo's! Now get outta here!
Lightning McQueen: I'VE BEEN TRYIN' TO GET OUTTA HERE FOR 3 DAYS! [McQueen and Larry then leave the building.]
Sheriff: Hope you enjoyed the show!
[McQueen grunts in anger as he kicks a can, which goes into a garage in the side of Doc Hudson's building, and we hear the sounds of objects falling down. McQueen stops moving as he hears this. McQueen groans. Then the screen shows inside the garage as McQueen opens the doors, and he enters. McQueen and Larry notice all of the boxes on the floor beside him]
Lightning McQueen: [Chuckling] Whoa ho, Doc. Time to clean out the garage, buddy, come on.
[Then McQueen notices something near the window. He turns towards it, and it turns out to be a Piston Cup trophy. He looks up to see that the text on the bottom says "Hudson Hornet, Champion, 1951".]
Lightning McQueen: What? He has a Piston Cup?
Larry: No, way.
[Then he and Larry looks to see another Piston Cup trophy behind a few boxes. He pushes the boxes aside, and see a third trophy as well along with four old racing tires with red hubcaps.]
Larry: Oh, my gosh. Three Piston Cups?
[They look at the text on the two trophies, which say that Doc was the champion of 1952 and 1953. Then they look to see a newspaper beside saying "Third Piston Cup Win! Hudson Hornet champion for all time" and showing a picture of Doc with the racing number 51 and the text "Fabulous Hudson Hornet" and a few other decals.]
Doc Hudson: Sign says stay out! [McQueen and Larry gasp upon hearing Doc's voice]
[They see Doc standing grumpily outside the door.]
Larry: Oh, uh, Doc, uh Sorry, we didin't mean too...
Lightning McQueen: You You have three Piston Cups. How could you have--? [Doc drives in]
Doc Hudson: I knew you couldn't drive. I didn't know you couldn't read. [as Doc pushes McQueen outside And Larry follows]
Lightning McQueen: You're the Hudson Hornet!
Larry: The Hudson Hornet?
Doc Hudson: Wait over at Flo's, like I told you.
Larry: What do you mean the Hudson Hornet?
Lightning McQueen: Of course. I can't believe I didn't see it before! You're The Fabulous Hudson Hornet! You still to hold the record for most wins in single season! Oh, we gotta talk. You gotta show me your tricks. Please.
Doc Hudson: I already tried that.
Lightning McQueen: And you won the championship three times! Look at those trophies!
Doc Hudson: You look. All I see is a bunch of empty cups. [closes the doors. McQueen frowns]
Larry: What's with him?
Lightning McQueen: I don't know.
Larry: Well, we'd better get to Flo's. I bet the others are there by now.
("Behind the Clouds" plays as the screen shows the rest of the characters, the other residents, except Ramone and Sally, at Flo's V8 Cafe.)
Fillmore: You know, some yoga could really lower your RPM's and heartbeats, man.
Sarge: Oh, take a car wash, hippie!
Flo: Yeah, look at my husband, y'all! Whoo! That's your color!
(Ramone shows up while Flo is talking, having yellow paint and a bit of purple and his orange and yellow flame on his sides.)
Ramone: Yellow, baby.
Phoebe: That's my favorite color.
Flo: Mmm. You smokin' hot!
Sheriff: (noticing McQueen and Larry come towards them) There they are.
Lightning McQueen: Oh, my gosh! Did you know Doc is a famous racecar?
(All of the residents and characters stay silent for a few seconds, then all of the residents except Sheriff laugh.)
Sheriff: Doc? Our Doc?
Sarge: Not Doc Hudson.
(The screen shows inside Doc Hudson's garage as he then grumpily watches the conversation outside.)
Lightning McQueen: No, no, no, no, it's true!
Larry: Seriously! It is true!
Lightning McQueen: He's a real racing legend. He's The Fabulous Hudson Hornet!
Flo: Fabulous? I never seen Doc drive more than 20 miles an hour. I mean, have you ever seen him race?
Larry: Well, no...
Lightning McQueen: No, but I wish I could have.
Bugs Bunny: I haven't seen him race, due to that I wasn't alive in the 1950s, but I believe you and now i do wish I could have as well.
Lilo: And me too.
Mickey: And all of us.
Lightning McQueen: They say he was amazing! He won three Piston Cups!
Mater: (spits out on his drink) He did what in his cup?!
Larry: He won three Piston Cups, Mater!
Sheriff: I think the heat's startin' to get to the boy!
Lizzie: Well, I'll say! Look how red he is.
Ramone: Yeah, I think he needs a new coat of poly, man.
Mater: Are you sick, buddy and y'all?
Sheriff: You are lookin' a little peaked.
Ramone: Maybe he needs a new coat of poly for sure!
Blossom: Oh, come on!
Mickey: You don't believe McQueen saying that Doc Hudson was a famous racecar?
Sheriff: Nope!
(Then the screen shows Sally pressing a foot pedal attached to one of the fuel dispensers, causing the pump to go into McQueen's fuel door and pump fuel into him. The gas bell rings as the screen shows the fuel dispenser with the gallons of fuel and total sale.)
Sheriff: H-Hey! What are you doin'?
Sally Carrera: It's OK, Sheriff. You can trust me, right?
Sheriff: I trust you, all right. It's him I'm worried about.
Sally Carrera: Hmm... I trust him and all his friends of Team Equesodor, too. (to McQueen) Come on, let's take a drive.
Lightning McQueen: A drive?
Sally Carrera: Yeah, a drive. Don't you big city racecars ever just take a drive?
Lightning McQueen: Ah... No. No, we don't.
Larry: We'll all go with you and Sally, McQueen.
Lilo: I guess we need to get out more and get some fresh air.
Junior: Right, Lilo.
Teresa: A drive does sound nice. We'll come too.
Yuki: Yeah, I'm looking forward to stretching my wings after being stuck here for a while.
Elena: Me too. I like a long run to stretch my arms in the wind!
Lightning McQueen: Thanks, guys.
(The others smile)
(The gas pump then stops and vibrates once. Sally then drives onto the road towards the courthouse, and McQueen moves himself to make the gas pump move back into its place. As McQueen drives onto the road, he turns towards the other side of the road and smiles as the screen shows the distance. Then Sheriff, thinking that McQueen is planning to escape, turns on his emergency lighting.)
Sally Carrera: Hey, Stickers! You comin' or what?
Larry: Yeah! Come on, Lightning!
(Sally and the whole of characters then drive and ride the other way out of town toward the courthouse. McQueen then turns around and follows them.)
Flo: Mm-hm! (to Sheriff) And you thought he was gonna run.
(Sheriff turns off his emergency lighting.)
Ramone: Hey, can you believe it, man? He actually thought Doc was a famous racecar! And even those guys! Ha-ha-ha-ha! That's so too much!
(We then see Doc inside his garage looking outside the window, now feeling sad. Before she leaves, Sunset notices Doc's sad expression The screen shows McQueen and the characters catching up with Sally after they go past Radiator Cap Mountain as "Shoulder to Shoulder" from "Pooh's Heffalump Movie"starts to play.)
Lightning McQueen: (to Sally) OK, you got us out here. Where are we goin'?
Sally Carrera: I don't know.
Buttercup: I guess we'll have to find out for ourselves.
(Then McQueen revs his engine and moves a bit ahead of Sally, then Sally revs hers and moves a bit ahead. McQueen does the same thing, then Sally races off.)
Lightning McQueen: Whoa! Yes.
(Our heroes then go faster as they race Sally through a forest as Carly Simon's singing of "Shoulder to Shoulder" from starts. McQueen eventually catch her and the characters up as they come towards a puddle across the road. The water splashed by Sally goes onto McQueen.)
Lightning McQueen: (sputters and shakes the water off)
Sally Carrera: (laughs)
(Sally then comes across another puddle. McQueen and our heroes dodge the water splashed by her.)
Lightning McQueen: Oh! Ah-ha-ha!
(Suddenly, some mud hits McQueen.)
Lightning McQueen: Bleh!
Sally Carrera: (chuckles)
(Then McQueen come towards a pile of leaves on one side of the road. He hits it, and gets leaves covered over him.)
Lightning McQueen: (grunts)
Sally Carrera: (laughs)
Lightning McQueen: (sputters and shakes most of the leaves off)
(Our heroes then drive, chuff and fly faster as the rest of the leaves come off McQueen. As they go past a lake, our heroes overtake Sally. Later, they go around a hairpin that goes uphill, and continue driving around the bends. McQueen and Sally smile as Sally drives past him. Then our heroes get surprised as they see a hill shaped like a car's front with the small road tunnel beneath it in place of a tire.)
(Then they go through a longer tunnel in a bigger hill. As they come out, they see a waterfall behind a road bridge.)
(McQueen then looks towards Sally, who was driving along the bridge. She then looks towards him, to which McQueen smiles, and we see a few bugs on the front of his teeth.)
Sally Carrera: (laughs, and goes faster)
Lightning McQueen: (chuckles, then notices the bugs on his teeth) Oh! (spits them off)
Lilo: I don't know how those bugs got there.
Stitch: Stitch don't know either.
(Our heroes then cross the bridge and follow Sally along a zigzag of curves. The song then ended as they go around a regular left curve, and stop at an old motel. .)
Yuki: Whoa!
Lightning McQueen: Wow. What is this place?
Sally Carrera: Wheel Well. Used to be the most popular stop on the mother road.
(Our heroes then see a few gas pumps, and then look at some old cans and parts with flies flying and crawling.)
Lightning McQueen: This place?
(The screen shows a closeup of the flies buzzing around and crawling. The car-ified bugs beep their horns.)
Lilo: Aw, these bugs are so cute!
(The camera then zooms out.)
Sally Carrera: (sighs) Yeah, imagine. Oh, imagine what it must have been like to stay here.
Blossom: I can imagine.
Pooh: Me too.
Sally Carrera: That's good for you, guys.
Lightning McQueen: (to Sally) You know, I don't get you. How does a Porsche wind up in a place like this?
Sally Carrera: Well, it's really pretty simple. I was... (drives into the motel, while our heroes follow her in) ...an attorney in LA livin' life in the fast lane, and...
Lightning McQueen: Oh, you were, were you? Were you rich?
Sally Carrera: What?
Lightning McQueen: Just... clues to the puzzle.
Sally Carrera: Yeah, OK. Well, that was my life. And you know what? It never felt... happy.
Lightning McQueen: Yeah. I mean... really?
Sally Carrera: Really.
Larry: So what did you do?
Sally Carrera: Well, I just left California. Just drove and drove and finally broke down right here. Doc fixed me up, Flo took me in. Well, they all did. And I never left.
(Sally then drives out of the motel as the screen shows from behind one of the windows with a few flies crawling on it, along with a dead one being upside down. Our heroes then follow Sally outside.)
Lightning McQueen: Yeah. You know, I understand. You need a little R and R. Recharge the old batteries. But you know, after a while, why didn't you go back?
Bugs Bunny: Yeah, why?
Sally Carrera: (inhales heavily) I fell in love.
Lightning McQueen: Oh.
Sally Carrera: Yep.
Elena: What was it?
Lightning McQueen: Corvette?
Sally Carrera: No. (drives to the cliff with small logs as barriers, as McQueen and the whole team follow her) I fell in love with this.
(The screen then changes to show the wonderful view of Ornament Valley and Radiator Springs.)
Lightning McQueen: Whoa. (seeing the mountain where the road led up to) Look at that. (sees some traffic driving on the Interstate 40 in the distance) Look, they're drivin' right by. They don't even know what they're missing!
Emmy: Yeah, they are.
("Our Town" starts to play.)
Sally Carrera: Well, it didn't used to be that way.
Lightning McQueen: Oh, yeah?
Sally Carrera: Yeah. Forty years ago, that Interstate down there didn't exist.
Lightning McQueen: Really?
Piglet: Is that true?
(The screen shows the Interstate again as it does an illusion of the Interstate fading and the hills joined up.)
Sally Carrera: Yeah. Back then, cars came across the country a whole different way.
Lightning McQueen: How do you mean?
(The screen then goes to a flashback showing an aerial view of some traffic driving along Route 66 as Sally starts talking.)
Sally Carrera: Well, the road didn't cut through the land like that Interstate. It moved with the land, you know? It rose, it fell, it curved.
(The screen then shows at ground level as it moves from side to side beside the road with traffic going by.)
Maroon Car: Mornin'!
Derek "Decals" Dobbs: Nice day, huh?
Sally Carrera: (narrating) Cars didn't drive on it to make great time. They drove on it to have a great time.
(The screen then moves around the center of Radiator Springs as the singing of "Our Town" starts. We see Flo serving a few drinks to her customers, as Mater, covered completely with blue paint, tows a red car named Percy Hanbrakes to Flo's V8 Cafe. The screen then shows Sarge and Fillmore talking to each other as cars enter into Ramone's House of Body Art, and Ramone, in a dark red paint job with white at the bottom of his sides, comes out with Greta, who then goes to Luigi's Casa Della Tires. Mildred Bylane then comes out of the store with new tires, and drives away. Sheriff is seen sleeping beside the store. Then the screen goes back to Sally, McQueen and the characters.)
Lightning McQueen: Well, what happened?
Casie: Why doesn't anyone come to Radiator Springs anymore?
Sally Carrera: The town got bypassed just to save ten minutes of driving.
Lilo: Oh my.
Yuki: That's sad.
Sally: Yes, it is, Yuki.
(The screen then shows a map, which shows the Interstate 40 being constructed and going past Route 66, including Radiator Springs. The screen then shows Red, Flo, Ramone, Luigi and Guido watch with excitement at the new highway under construction. Then the screen shows Radiator Springs again as Mater and Red the fire truck put a sign above the intersection, saying "Welcome, Interstate travelers". The screen shows on one side of the Interstate after its construction is finished, then some traffic appear driving along the highway, as the screen then changes to show on Radiator Springs' main road, with no traffic driving on it. We then see Mater, Sheriff, Lizzie, Fillmore, Sarge, Luigi, Guido, Flo, Ramone and Red looking sad. The screen then shows the map again as Radiator Springs' mark on it disappears as well as the thick red line and signs of Route 66 changing to a thin blue line. We then see several of the buildings behind Luigi's Casa Della Tires and Ramone's House of Body Art as they change to show that they have been closed down. We again see the same residents with a sad look at those buildings, then we see Ramone and Flo with Luigi and Guido as they head back to their stores. Luigi puts up a "We're still open" sign behind the window of his store. The camera then moves slowly backwards along the main road of Radiator Springs, showing "Open" signs at several of the stores along with the traffic light showing its red and green lights. The screen then changes to show the road at the present time and much further, with the traffic light blinking its amber light, and the partly-finished road, as we then see McQueen, Sally and the characters.)
Lightning McQueen: But how great would it have been to see this place in its heyday!
Junior: Yeah, it'd be awesome.
Sally Carrera: Oh, I can't tell you how many times I've dreamed of that. But one of these days we'll find a way to get it back on the map.
D.A: I guess it would take a miracle for that to happen.
Phoebe: I would wonder how.
Lightning McQueen: Yeah. (to Sally Carrera) Hey, listen, thanks for the drive. I had a great time.
Lilo: And so did we.
Characters: (general agreement)
Lightning McQueen: It's kinda nice to slow down every once in a while.
Larry: That's so very true.
Sally Carrera: You're all welcome. (drives back to the Cozy Cone Motel)
Elena: She is indeed nice.
Junior: And Lightning, call me crazy but, Since you've heard about this town you seem t like it now.
Lightning McQueen: [laughs] Yeah.
(Suddenly, Mater rushes towards our heroes, looking worried.)
Mater: Hey, listen, listen! If anybody asks you, we was out smashin' mailboxes, OK? (drives away)
Lightning McQueen: (chuckles) Wha... what?
Bubbles: What are you talking about, Mater?
(Suddenly, they hear a rumble.)
Piglet: Is that an earthquake?
(Then they look at the other end of the road to see what it is. The camera turns around to show that end of the road as a stampede of tractors appears driving towards the town.)
Tractors: Mooooo!
Larry: STAMPEDE!
(McQueen and the whole gang drive and jump off the road just as the tractors come towards them. The tractors drive through the town, as Flo, Sarge, Fillmore and Sheriff notice them from Flo's V8 Cafe. We then see Ramone using paint to spray the markings on the road. Red is watering his flowers.)
Ramone: (noticing the tractors) Oh, man, the paint's still wet! (drives away)
(Red stops watering as he notices the tractors.)
Tractors: Moo!
(Red moves in front of Stanley's statue and honks loudly at the tractors to make most of them tip.)
Tractors: (tipping) Moo! Moo! Mooo!
(One of the tractors who did not tip drives into Luigi's Casa Della Tires, as Luigi and Guido try to get it out.)
Luigi: No, no, no, no! Get out of the store! (notices another tractor munching on a radial tire) Hey! Don't eat the radial! Here, take-a the snow tires. (nudges a set of snow tires)
(We then see McQueen and the characters arriving at the scene as Sheriff, Fillmore, Sarge and Mater drive around the town, with Sheriff chasing one of the tractors, another tractor between Fillmore and Sarge as they drive around, while Mater is not chasing a tractor.)
Sheriff: Mater!
Mater: I wasn't tractor-tippin'!
Sheriff: Then where did all these gol-durn tractors come from?!
Lightning McQueen: (chuckles)
Teresa: How did all those tractors get loose?
Laura: I have no idea.
Tigger: And looks like Sheriff doesn't like Mater tractor-tipping.
Filmore: (exclaims) Whoa, boy!
Lightning McQueen: (noticing a tractor driving away from the town) Hey! Hey, guys! There's one goin' this way. (pause) I got it.
Mickey: McQueen, wait for us!
(McQueen and the characters then follow the tractor, who is driving towards Willy's Butte.)
Lightning McQueen: Come here, little tractor, come here.
Bubbles: We're not gonna hurt you.
(The tractor then stops.)
Lightning McQueen: Yeah, that's a good tractor.
Phoebe: Now please stay still.
(But the tractor then moves away.)
Lightning McQueen: No, no, no, no, come here.
Max: Come back, little tractor.
(But the tractor just drives away.)
Lightning McQueen: What are you doing? You're not supposed to go wandering off all... (notices Doc Hudson on the track) ...alone.
(Then the characters all notice Doc on the track, as well.)
Larry: It's Doc.
Wanda: What is he doing out there?
Keesha: I don't know.
(The screen then shows McQueen and the whole team as they get closer to a distance from the track, while the tractor drives back towards the town.)
Lightning McQueen: (noticing that Doc has his racing tires on) What are you doin' with those old racin' tires?
(The screen does a closeup of Doc's side to show us one of his racing tires. It then moves to on the road to show him still standing there.)
Doc Hudson: (sighs heavily)
Lightning McQueen: (whispering) Come on, Doc, drive.
Pooh: (whispering) You can do it, Doc.
(Doc looks towards the end of the track, then revs his engine. McQueen and Team Equesodor smile as the camera does a closeup on Doc's front, the lining on his trunk and side, his rear, and his front and eyes, and he then sets off. Our heroes watch him happily.)
Lilo: Look at him go! Cool!
(Doc drives along the hillside beside the first curve. As he drives along the next straight, our heroes get shocked as he comes towards the final curve where McQueen slid off before. Doc then does an opposite lock, where he turns his body to the left, and turns his wheels right while going around the curve perfectly.)
Lilo: So that's what he meant when he said "Turn right to go left!"
(Doc then stops as he approaches the finish line, with the dust covering the camera for a few seconds until it shows him looking happy.)
Doc Hudson: Ah... Yeah.
(McQueen and the whole team come toward Doc.)
Lightning McQueen: Wow!
Lilo: Awesome!
Doc Hudson: (noticing our heroes) Huh?
Lightning McQueen: You're amazing!
Larry: You did that turn perfectly well!
(But Doc just angrily drives away.)
Lightning McQueen: (coughs from the dust) What are you doin'? Doc, wait!
Lilo: After that car!
(McQueen and the characters then follow Doc as they arrive back in Radiator Springs. As Doc goes left on the crossroad back to his garage, McQueen and the whole team stop as the tractors drive along in a lineup with Mater behind.)
Tractors: Moo! Moo!
Mater: (hitting the back tractor with his hook) Giddup right in there! Come on, Rusty. Wheey-hee!
Carlos: Thank you, Mater!
(McQueen and the characters eventually catch up with Doc as he drives into his garage.)
Lightning McQueen: Doc, hold it! Seriously, your driving's incredible!
Larry: You even did a great drift on that turn!
Doc Hudson: Wonderful. Now, go away.
Lightning McQueen: (as he and the whole team drive into the garage) Hey, I mean it. You've still got it!
Lilo: Even with that "turn right to go left" trick!
Doc Hudson: I'm askin' you all to leave.
Phoebe: There's no need to be mean, Doc.
Lightning McQueen: Come on. I'm a racecar, you're a much older racecar, but under the hood you and I are the same.
Doc Hudson: We are not the same! Understand? Now, get out! All of you! (drives out of his garage)
Junior: I don't know why you are so angry, Doc.
Lightning McQueen: How could a car like you quit at the top of your game?
Doc Hudson: (pauses) You think I quit?
(Doc then presses a button on the garage floor to turn on a light beside our heroes, who then look to see a newspaper's front page on the wall saying "Crash! Hudson Hornet out for season".)
Lightning McQueen: Right. Your big wreck in '54.
Mickey: Ohhhhhhh... Oh, boy.
Doc Hudson: They quit on me. When I finally got put together, I went back expecting a big welcome. And you all know what they said? "You're history." Moved right on to the next rookie standing in line. There was a lot left in me. I never got a chance to show 'em. I keep that to remind me never to go back. I just never expected that that world would...would find me here.
(All of the characters suddenly look and feel ashamed)
Lilo: We’re ever so sorry, Doc.
Pooh: I'm sure Lightning didn’t mean to hurt you.
Blossom: We have no idea that your past right there is hurting you so much and for so long.
Phoebe: And this is how it went downhill for you.
Larry: And me and Lightning discovering your Piston Cups and your secret this morning. I guess I got so caught up in our excitement about discovering your secret, i didn’t realize your past right there is hurting you so much.
Doc Hudson: (thinks for a moment and then sighs) That’s all right, guys.
Lightning McQueen: Hey, look, Doc, I'm not them.
Doc Hudson: Oh, yeah?
Lightning McQueen: No, I'm not.
Doc Hudson: When is the last time you cared about something except yourself, hot rod? You name me one time and I will take it all back.
(McQueen then feels ashamed.)
Doc Hudson: Uh-huh. I didn't think so.
Junior: Do you mean to tell us that you lied?
Larry: But what about in Mack's trailer? You said that it would be nice to have us as your friends.
Lightning McQueen: That was just sarcasm. I didn't mean it literally.
Teresa: McQueen, are you saying that you didn't care about our friendship at all?!
Elena: And Lightning McQueen, are you saying our whole friendship from the very beginning when we first met you was all a lie?!
Junior: (as tears start to well up in his eyes) Lightning McQueen, I thought you were our true friend!
Lightning McQueen: But Junior, you don't understand!
Junior: Really?! If you still think we're bothering you, even me one of your biggest fans, then maybe you don't care about us nor friendship at all!
(He runs away out of the garage, crying)
Larry: Come on, Bob. Let's go check on Junior. He could do with some comfort. (gives McQueen a stern look as he leaves the garage) I hope you're happy now.
Lilo: (to McQueen) You should be ashamed of yourself!
Elena: Lightning McQueen, you have a lot to think about!
Teresa and Yuki: Yeah
(All of them leave leave the garage to go after Junior)
Doc Hudson: (to McQueen, who then feels ashamed again) Uh-huh. I think so. And just like The Veggie and Character gang, these are good folk around here, who care about one another. I don't want 'em depending on someone they can't count on.
Lightning McQueen: Oh, like you? You've been here how long and your friends don't even know who you are?
(Doc then looks hurt at McQueen's fact.)
Lightning McQueen: Who's caring about only himself?
Doc Hudson: Just finish that road and get outta here! (drives away)
(Lightning just stands there, looking thoughtful.)
(Some time later, when it is now nighttime, we now see Lightning McQueen peeking out from around the corner at a building at Radiator Springs and saw Larry and the characters comforting Junior around a campfire out in the field outside of the town. He feels bad about the way he treated the characters and to the residents. And how he let his fan down. He starts to think and remembers what they said about humility)
Junior's voice: You was never the winner of your first race. God is the real winner, You just had the honor to be a small part of God's creation.
Larry's voice: Humility is the opposite of pride. Someone is humble when they think about other people more than they think about themselves.
Emmy's voice: And i bet you would have more friends if you were humble.
(Lightning then gets an idea. The screen shows Radiator Cap Mountain and Cadillac Range the next morning, as the same reveille Sarge uses is heard playing. It is again interrupted by Fillmore playing "The Star-Strangled Banner".)
Sarge: (in distance) Will you turn that disrespectful junk off?!
Fillmore: (in distance) Respect the classics, man!
(The screen then shows Mater sleeping and snoring in his house, shown to be drooling oil. He then snorts and putters as he wakes up, grunting as he stretches himself.)
Mater: (smacks) Ah...
(Mater then drives to the main road, where he notices that it has been completed and there is no sign of McQueen and the characters. Mater and Doc are then shown driving to the end of the paving.)
Mater: He's done. He must've finished it while we was all sleepin'. And his team of friends must've left with him too.
Doc Hudson: Good riddance.
(Doc then drives away as the other residents arrive at the same scene. Ramone has a red paint job.)
Flo: They're gone?
Sarge: Well, we wouldn't want him to miss that race of his. Or even have his friends left behind.
(Sally drives away.)
Sheriff: (sniffs)
Ramone: Oh, dude, are you crying?
Sheriff: No! I'm happy! I don't have to watch him every second of the day anymore! I'm glad he's gone!
Red: (blubbers, then sobs and drives away, again knocking down that same pile of tires at that corner of the impound)
(Just then, McQueen and the characters show up.)
Lightning McQueen: What's wrong with Red?
Elena: Yeah, what's the matter with Red?
Yuki: Did something just upset him?
Mater: (not realizing who he's talking to) Oh, he's just sad 'cause you all left town and went to your big race to win the Piston Cup that you've always dreamed about your whole life and get that big ol' sponsor and that fancy helicopter you was all talkin' about.
(As he talks, the other residents then notice our heroes, looking glad. After finishing his quote, Mater stares at McQueen and the team as they are grinning.)
Mater: (gasps as he realizes who he was talking to) Wait a minute!
Other townsfolk: (all laugh)
Bugs Bunny: So, you didn't realize who you were talking to, Mater?
Mater: (smacks McQueen with his tire) I knowed you wouldn't leave without saying goodbye.
Tigger: (laughs) No you didn't!
Mater: Yes, I did, Tigger. Just now.
Junior: Oh, sure.
Sheriff: What are you doin' here, son? You're gonna miss your race. (turns on his emergency lighting) Don't worry. I'll give you all a police escort, and we'll make up the time.
Lightning McQueen: Thank you, Sheriff.
Blossom: That is so kind of you, Sheriff.
Lightning McQueen: But you know I can't go just yet.
Tim: And neither do us.
Sheriff: Well, why not?
Lightning McQueen: I'm not sure these tires...
Luigi: (gasps excitedly)
Lightning McQueen: ...can get me all the way to California.
Guido: Peet stop?
Lightning McQueen: Yeah, does anybody know what time Luigi's opens?
Luigi: (laughs) I can't-a believe it!
(The screen then shows the residents and characters outside Luigi's Casa Della Tires, watching Luigi and Guido with McQueen.)
Luigi: Four new tires! Grazie, Mr. Lightning. (gives a hug) Grazie!
(Sally then arrives, feeling glad as she sees McQueen.)
Flo: Would you look at that!
Luigi: Our first real customer in years! I am filled with tears of ecstasy,...
(While Luigi is talking, McQueen winks to the characters and Sally, who is then shown smiling. Doc then appears, starting to feel glum when he sees McQueen.)
Luigi: ...for this is the most glorious day of my life!
Lightning McQueen: (as Luigi presses a button to make the car lift he is on go up) All right, Luigi, give me the best set of blackwalls you've got.
Luigi: (releases the button, making the lift go back down) No! No, no, no. You don't-a know what you want. Luigi know what you want. (drives to a couple of shelves, with one holding blackwall tires, and another being covered by a curtain) Blackwall tires. They blend into the pavement. But-a this... (presses a button to pull the curtain, showing...) Whitewall tires! They say, "Look at me! Here I am! Love me."
Lightning McQueen: All right, you're the expert.
Luigi: (chuckles)
Doc Hudson: (scoffs and drives away)
Lightning McQueen: Oh, and don't forget the spare.
Luigi: Perfetto. Guido!
Guido: Peet stop!
(Guido is then shown holding his wheel gun, which is heard whirring as Chuck Berry's version of "Route 66" plays. Luigi is seen holding a flag up, attached to his antenna. He holds it up a bit more, which Guido make the wheel gun whirr. Luigi then moves the flag down, and Guido then gets to work on unfastening the bolts on McQueen's tires, as Luigi dodges one of the tires going through the air. When Guido is finished putting the new tires, McQueen is shown looking at them in a mirror.)
Luigi: (laughs) What did Luigi tell you, eh?
Lightning McQueen: Wow, you were right. Better than a Ferrari, huh?
Luigi: (frowns) Eh... No.
(McQueen then frowns, and then the screen shows him and the characters with Fillmore at the Taste-Inn, drinking some organic fuel.)
Lightning McQueen: Wow! This organic fuel is great! Why haven't I heard about it before?
Fillmore: It's a conspiracy, man! The oil companies got a grip on the government! They're feedin' us a bunch of lies, man.
Lightning McQueen: OK, I'll take a case.
(The screen then shows from McQueen's point of view as he looks around with night-vision goggles on, and Sarge is seen. The screen then McQueen as the goggles move up, then it shows Sarge hooked to some surplus with a note saying, "Guaranteed, no tailgaters." The screen then shows a close-up of a snow globe with Radiator Springs Curios and Knick in it. The screen zooms out to show McQueen and characters looking at it with Lizzie. It then shows some bumper stickers and other souvenirs. Lizzie is then shown putting some onto McQueen.)
Lightning McQueen: Ow! Eh! (yelps as Lizzie sticks on the third sticker)
(The screen then shows Ramone inside his shop, holding a paint hose.)
Ramone: (chuckles)
(McQueen is then seen, with covers for his tires, and breathes in deeply and closes his eyes as Ramone starts to paint him.)
Ramone: Ah... Yeah.
Lightning McQueen: (as Ramone does a shade on a lightning bolt shape) Ka-chow.
(The screen then shows the other townsfolk outside at sunset.)
Mater: (noticing Sally) Here she comes!
Lightning McQueen: OK, places, everybody. Hurry! Act natural.
Red: (whistles)
Other residents: (as Sally arrives) Hi, Sally!
Luigi: Buon giorno!
Larry: How are you doing?
Sally Carrera: All right, what's goin' on?
Mickey: It's a big surprise for you, girlfriend.
Junior: You're going to love it!
Mater: Ladies and gentlecars and characters please welcome the new Lightning McQueen!
(Everyone moves out of the way as McQueen appears in his new paint job, revving his engine.)
Lightning McQueen: (posing) Pow! What do you think? Radiator Springs looks pretty good on me.
Sally Carrera: (chuckles) I'll say. (purrs as McQueen continues revving his engine) Ka-chow! You're gonna fit right in in California. Oh, my goodness.
Larry: Yeah. he has some new tires from Luigi.
Lilo: We have some souvenirs from Lizzie.
D.A: And surplus from Sarge.
Mickey: And some of that awesome organic fuel from Fillmore.
Pooh: And Lightning has a brand-new coat of paint from Ramone.
Sally Carrera: It looks like you've all helped everybody in town.
Lightning McQueen: Yeah, everybody except one.
(Sally is shown with a happy look.)
Lightning McQueen: Hey, is it getting dark out?
Lizzie: Wh...What!? Wha--What'd he say?
Lightning McQueen: Let me say that again. Is it getting dark out?!
Lizzie: Now, what was I supposed to do after that?
(Red then presses a button on the radio, making Lizzie jump. The Chords' "Sh-Boom" is heard as the buildings' lights turn on. Ramone's House of Body Art is shown with its lights turning on. Luigi, Guido and Flo are shown at their buildings, looking glad as the lights turn on.)
Elena: Lightning thought we'd shed some light on this town.
Lilo: What she means is, as you can see, we all helped them fixed their neon, Sally.
Sally Carrera: (gasps) You guys sure did!
(The lights on Radiator Springs Curios turn on, then the ones at Fillmore's Taste-In, as Fillmore drives out, looking glad. Then the screen shows the lights on Sarge's Surplus Hut. It then shows Ramone and Flo at the crossroad.)
Flo: Low and slow?
Ramone: Oh, yeah, baby! (chuckles as they take a cruise along the main road to the Courthouse)
Flo: (laughs and shrieks)
Lightning McQueen: (to Sally) Just like in its heyday, right?
Sally Carrera: (exhales) It's even better than I pictured it. Thank you.
Lightning McQueen: And Larry, Junior, i'm sorry i lied to you and your friends. And i'm sorry for my prideful attitude. I learned my lesson. It's really important to be humble and think of others and that everyone needs help. I want you and the other characters and the residents to be my friends...for real this time.
Larry: It's ok, Lightning.
Junior: We all forgive you. And we will be your friends now.
Lightning McQueen: Thanks guys. This means a lot to me. And it feels good to be forgiven.
Larry: Hey, that's what friends do, Lightning. They forgive each other.
(The screen then shows different shots as the other townsfolk are shown cruising and the rest of characters are shown dancing and cruising.)
Ramone: (chuckles as he lifts his bodywork up and presses his rear end on the tarmac, creating sparks)
(Noticing what Ramone did, Mater then presses his whole bodywork on the tarmac, creating a lot of sparks.)
Lightning McQueen: Shall we all cruise?
Lizzie: (appearing out of nowhere) Oh, thank you, dear. I'd love to! (pulls McQueen away)
Lightning McQueen: No, no, no.
Sally Carrera: Lizzie!
Larry: He didn't really mean you, Lizzie.
Lizzie: (to McQueen as they drive along) I remember when Stanley first asked me to take a drive with him.
Mater: (to Sally) Hey, Miss Sally. May I have this cruise?
Sally Carrera: Of course, Mater.
Sheriff: (stopping them) Uh-uh-uh!
(The screen then shows that the traffic lights at the crossroad are now showing all the lights, as they change to red for Sally, Mater and charactersr. A line of tractors then drive across, mooing.)
Yuki: Wow, the traffic lights are working properly now.
Mickey: Yep, we fixed that too, Yuki.
Lizzie: ...and again and I said, "No." And he asked me again, and I said, "No."
Sally Carrera: (giggles as she notices McQueen stepping sideways while with Lizzie)
Lizzie: But, oh, he was a persistent little bugger for a two-cylinder. (continues driving, while McQueen stops and turns around) Finally I said, "All right, one little drive."
(McQueen looks to see the other townsfolk still cruising. Suddenly, Mater grabs him with his tow hook.)
Lightning McQueen: Oh!
Mater: (chuckles, tows him to Sally, and lets go)
Lightning McQueen: Hey!
Sally Carrera: Thanks, Mater.
Mater: Good evenin', you two.
(McQueen and Sally then look at each other.)
Lizzie: (standing next to Stanley's statue) Oh, Stanley, I wish you could see this.
(McQueen and Sally then touch each other's front. And everyone watches them happily)
Elena: [giggles] Looks like Lightning really had won the heart of Sally. I wish Mertle was here to see this.
Junior: And i wish that Bob and the rest of the gang were here to see it too.
Larry: Well, looks like McQueen has really come to liking this town so, whenever he's ready to go we'll leave and get to California and to our friends soon.
Flo: (noticing something) Is that what I think it is?
Sally Carrera: Oh, I don't know, Flo. I haven't had a chance to find out. (both her and McQueen close their eyes) But I am going to find out. Hello.
Flo: Not that. That.
(Everyone then looks into the distance to see lots of headlights approaching.)
Sally Carrera: (gasps) Customers?
Emmy: For real this time?!
Flo: Customers, everybody! And a lot of 'em! You know what to do. Just like we rehearsed!
(Suddenly, a blue light shines on McQueen.)
Townsfolk and characters: (all gasp)
Larry: What the...?
Mater: It's the ghostlight!
Junior: No, Mater, it's not some ghostlight. It's...
Kathy Copter: (shown to be shining the light) We have found McQueen. We have found McQueen!
(It is then shown that the people who have arrived are actually the press, coming towards McQueen and surrounding him, flashing their cameras.)
Photographer 1: McQueen!
Photographer 2: McQueen, over here!
Photographer 3: Kid!
Lightning McQueen: Uh, wait, excuse me.
Lilo: What's going on?
Mickey: Why is the press here?
Matti: Is it true you've been in rehab?
Andrea: Did you have a nervous breakdown, McQueen?
Lightning McQueen: I'm sorry, what?
Photographer 4: McQueen's wearing whitewalls!
Photographer 5: Are your tire trims balding?
Sally Carrera: Stickers! McQueen!
Photographer 7: (to Mater) Was Lightning McQueen your prisoner?
Mater: Shoot, no! We're best buds! I ain't bragging or nothing but I was in charge of hunting him down if he tried to escape.
Lightning McQueen: Guys! Sally!
Kori Turbowitz: McQueen, will you still race for the Piston Cup?
Sally Carrera: Stickers?
Larry: Lightning?
Lightning McQueen: Sally! Guys!
Photographer 8: Come on, McQueen, give us some bolt!
(Suddenly, a horn honks, and the press clear the way for Mack and the rest of the Veggie and Character Gang.)
Mack: You're here! Thank the manufacturer! You're alive!
Lightning McQueen: Mack?
Larry: Guys?
Bob: Larry!
Larry: Bob!
Minnie: Mickey! [hugs him]
Mickey: Minnie!
Daisy: We've been looking for you guys everywhere!
Mertle: Elena! Teresa! Yuki! You guys are okay!
Tommy: And so are you and the others Lilo!
Lilo: Of course we are. We've just been hanging out in this town called Radiator Springs.
Mack: (turning around) You're here! I can't believe it!
(Sally then watches as she notices the picture on the side of Mack's trailer.)
Mack: (chuckles to McQueen) You are a sight for sore headlights! I'm so sorry I lost you, boss. I'll make it up to you!
Lightning McQueen: Mack, I, I can't believe you're here.
Harv: Is that the world's fastest racing machine?
Lightning McQueen: Is that Harv?
Mack: Yeah. And he's in the back. (splits from his trailer, and McQueen turns around to the trailer door)
Photographer 9: Show us the bolt!
Mack: (drives towards the press) Get back, you oil and water-thirsty parasites!
Photographer 10: Where's the old McQueen?
Mack: Actually, this is my good side here. (drives to a spot between McQueen and the press)
Photographer 11: Show us the bolt!
Lightning McQueen: Harv! Harv!
Photographer 12: Give us the bolt!
(The trailer door then opens, showing no one in the trailer.)
Lightning McQueen: Harv?
Photographer 13: Come on!
Harv: (on the phone, as it pops out) Kid, I'm over here!
Lightning McQueen: How you doing, buddy?
Harv: My star client disappears off the face of the earth! How do you think I'm doing?
Lightning McQueen: Harv, I can explain.
Harv: I'm doing great! You're everywhere, baby! Radio, TV, the papers! You can't buy this kind of publicity! What do you need me for? That's just a figure of speech, by the way. You signed a contract. Where are you? I can't even find you on my GPS.
Lightning McQueen: I'm in this little town called Radiator Springs. You know Route 66? It's still here!
Harv: Yeah, that's great, kid. Playtime is over, pal. While the world's been trying to find you, Dinoco has had no one to woo. Who are they gonna woo?
Lightning McQueen: Chick!
Harv: Bingo. In fact, check out what's on the plasma right now.
(The TV in McQueen's trailer then shows some photographers with Chick, who now has a thundercloud, lightning bolt and "C" between his tire and front, and is seen with Mia and Tia, who have green paint and "C" merchandise.)
Photographer: (on TV) Show us the thunder!
Chick Hicks: (on TV) You want thunder? You want thunder?! (reflects sunlight on the "C" insignia) Ka-chicka, ka-chicka!
Lightning McQueen: Hey, that's my bit!
Harv: You've gotta get to Cali, pronto! Just get out of Radiation Stinks now, or Dinoco is history, you hear me?
Lightning McQueen: (noticing Sally beside the trailer) Just give me a second here, Harv. (drives to Sally)
Harv: No! No, wait. Where are you goin'? Get in the trailer, baby. Kid! You wa... You want a bigger trailer?
Lightning McQueen: Sally, I... I want you to... Look, I wish... (sighs)
Sally Carrera: Thank you. Thanks for everything.
Lightning McQueen: (groans, then chuckles) It was just a road.
Sally Carrera: No. It was much more than that.
(The screen shows McQueen with tears in his eyes.)
Mack: (comes to McQueen) Hey, kid! We gotta go. Harv's going crazy! He's gonna have me fired if I don't get you in the truck right now!
Lightning McQueen: Mack, just... hold it for...
Sally Carrera: You should go.
Lightning McQueen: I know, but...
Sally Carrera: Good luck in California. I hope you find what you're looking for. (drives away)
Photographer 1: McQueen, come on!
Lightning McQueen: (tries to follow Sally) Sally... Sally! (gets surrounded by the press)
Bert: Show us the bolt, McQueen! The bolt!
Photographer 2: Hey, Lightning, show us the bolt!
(The press make indistinct talk as McQueen is forced into the trailer, with Mack getting hooked up.)
Harv: Come on, kid. Get in the trailer.
Photographer 3: Where's the old McQueen?!
Harv: That's it. That's right, kid. Let's go! You're a big shining star. You're a superstar. You don't belong there, anyway.
(As Harv is talking, McQueen takes one last look at the town and the Veggie and Character Gang before the trailer door starts to close.)
Lightning McQueen: Whoa... Wait... Whoa, whoa, wait, wait!
(The door closes, and Mack starts his engine as he gets going.)
Hooman: (as other photographers are with Luigi, Guido and Red) Hey, guys! McQueen's leaving in the truck!
(The press then leave, following Mack and talking indistinctly. Kori then notices Doc near Ramone's House of Body Art, and comes to him.)
Kori Turbowitz: Hey, are you Doc Hudson?
Doc Hudson: Yeah.
Kori Turbowitz: Thanks for the call. (drives away)
(The screen then zooms out to show Sally and the characters who were with Lightning.)
Larry: YOU DID WHAT?!
Sally Carrera: You called them?
Doc Hudson: It's best for everyone, Sally.
Sally Carrera: Best for everyone or best for you? (drives away)
Bob: What do you mean?
Larry: We had just become Lightning's new friends And he had just helped this town that was off the map!
Bob: Oh.
Lilo: Yeah, how dare you call them without telling us that you were going to, you meanie!
Blossom: So this is what you do now after McQueen shows up?! Plot secretly to call his team while we're hanging around town and stab us in the back?!
Piglet: Doc Hudson, what you did was very unforgivable!
Buttercup: That's right. You should be ashamed.
Junior: You have done a terrible selfish thing, Hudson!
Bubbles: And we can't forgive you for what you've done! (Everyone all turn their backs on Doc)
Buttercup: And we just apologized to you for not realizing how hurtful your past was. Well, we all take back all those apologies back!
(Doc is shown frowning, and Sally comes onto the main road to watch Mack and the press drive away with McQueen. The other townsfolk and the whole of the Veggie and Character gang are seen behind her, watching as well. Doc then joins them.)
Mater: I didn't get to say goodbye to him.
Lilo: We all didn't get to say goodbye to him either, Mater.
Elena: And he said that we are all really his first real and true friends in this whole entire world.
Mertle: Oh, really?
Junior: (tearfully) And we all started to teach him about humility.
Elena: Who's gonna support Lightning now?
Thomas: I guess he will have to deal with the tiebreaker race on his own.
Bob: As he always does before we met him.
Teresa: I know how important it is to him now that we become his friends, but I just don't think it's going to happen.
Yuki: (sadly) We may never see him again.
Elena and Teresa: (sadly) Yeah.
(Larry glares at Doc before leaving for the Cozy Cone Motel. Sally then drives to the Cozy Cone Motel, and turns the light on the sign off.)
Blossom: Come on, everybody. Let's just go to bed.
Buttercup: We are very disappointed at you, Doc Hudson!
Teresa: Doc Hudson, we don't want to talk to you ever again!!!
Elena and Yuki: Yeah!
(The rest of the townsfolk, except Doc, go back to their buildings and turn off all of the neon lighting while Team Equesodor all drive and walk to the cones at the Cozy Cone, as Doc is left all alone at the crossroad, and notices the traffic light buzzing and blinking its amber light once again.)
Doc Hudson: (sighs) What if they're right? Why wasn't I nice to the kid from the very beginning?
(In her tent, Lilo squirms and struggles then sits up after she hears Doc)
Lilo: (sighs) If only there was a way we could help Lightning. He's not gonna be able to win this race on his own.
(The screen then shows a hill and goes over it to show the Los Angeles International Speedway. Bob and Darrell are heard talking as Al Oft flies over, along with the spectators coming into the circuit.)
Bob Cutlass: Hello, race fans. And welcome to what has become, quite simply, the biggest event in the history of racing. A three-way battle for the Piston Cup!
Darrell Cartrip: Bob, there's a crowd of nearly 200,000 humans and cars here at the Los Angeles International Speedway. Tickets to this race are hotter than a black leather seat on a hot summer day!
Bob Cutlass: The King, Chick Hicks and Lightning McQueen in a 200 lap, winner-takes-all, tiebreaker race.
(Then the screen fades to a different shot and moves to Darrell and Bob, who are in front of a couple of spectators, along with Todd the Pizza Planet truck and Elvis.)
Darrell Cartrip: Now, Bob, you know I got a lotta miles on me, but let me tell you somethin', buddy. I never thought I'd see anything like this. Whoo! Man, this is exciting!
(The screen then shows several closed signs on different buildings as Bob is talking, such as a person turning a sign from "Open" to "Closed", the sign for the East Honkers Shopping Mall saying "Closed for race", and Emeryville's sign showing a label saying "Closed for the race", and at the end of Bob's line, the screen shows some trucks and drivers watching the race on TV.)
Bob Cutlass: In fact, the country has almost shut down to watch what many experts are calling "the race of the century."
(The King's pit crew have finished putting a new set of tires on him, when Junior appears.)
Dale Earnhardt, Jr: Hey, King! Good luck in your last race. You've sure been an inspiration to me.
The King: Thanks, Junior. Appreciate it.
Lynda Weathers: Hey, be careful out there, OK?
The King: Yeah, man.
(Then the screen shows Chick with the press again, with Mia and Tia behind him.)
Mia: (gasps) He's so hot!
Female Photographer: I know, right? (giggles)
Chick Hicks: (while the photographers are talking) Oh, yeah. You wanna know the forecast? I'll give you the forecast. A 100 percent chance of thunder! (the press take pictures as he poses) Ka-chicka! Ka-chicka! Say it with me! (the press join in) Ka-chicka! Ka-chicka! Ka-chicka!
(Meanwhile, a security officer named Marco Axelbender notices Fred while checking all of the spectators with another security officer.)
Marco Axelbender: (to Fred) Hey, you! No admittance without a garage pass!
Fred: Oh, it's OK. Lightning McQueen knows me!
Mario Andretti: (coming up with Patty) Hey, Marco, it's a beautiful day for a race, isn't it?
Marco Axelbender: Absolutely, Mr. Andretti.
Fred: (chuckles)
Mario Andretti: And good morning to you, uh, (looks at Fred's license plate) Fred.
Fred: Mario Andretti knows my name! (to Marco) You gotta let me in now!
Marco Axelbender: Sorry, pal.
(The screen then moves and zooms in on Mack's trailer as the press surround it. McQueen's voice is heard.)
Lightning McQueen: OK, here we go. Focus. Speed.
(The screen goes black.)
Lightning McQueen: I am speed.
(The screen then shows the same shot of racecars whizzing past as shown at the very beginning of the film, before going back to black.)
Lightning McQueen: Victory. One winner, two losers.
(The screen then shows the same shot of McQueen racing from when he was preparing while inside Mack's trailer at the very beginning of the film.)
Lightning McQueen: Speed. Speed. Speed. Speed...
(The sound of birds singing is then heard as the screen then shows the view of Radiator Springs from Wheel Well, before changing to show Mater, Sheriff, Luigi, Guido, Sarge, Fillmore, Red, Ramone, Flo and Lizzie while in the town, then it changes to show the whole of the Veggie and Character gang smiling while at Willy's Butte. Just then, Mack knocks on the trailer's door.)
Mack: Hey, Lightnin'! You ready?
Lightning McQueen: (gasps) Y-Yeah, yeah, yeah! I'm, uh... I'm ready.
(McQueen then opens the door and comes out, noticing the press chattering indistinctly and taking pictures of him. The screen then shows an aerial view of the circuit, before coming back to the ground to show McQueen driving to Mack, who is wearing a headset.)
Lightning McQueen: Mack, thanks for being my pit crew today.
Mack: Ah... Don't worry about it, kid. It's the least I could do. After all, "Gas Can" is my middle name.
Lightning McQueen: It is?
Mack: Ah... Not really.
(The Alphanumeros are then shown driving along the track, forming the words "Piston Cup" as the crowd cheers. Then the Convoy Brothers are shown shouting as the camera pans past them, showing a caravan drinking Dinoco Light, and Syd VanDerKamper sitting in an inflatable pool surrounded by little palm trees, Dinoco cans and plastic flamingos. Barney Stormin is then shown completing his skywriting of "Piston Cup", and then hears Marco, Stu Bop and another jet heading towards him.)
Barney Stormin: Uh-oh! (flies out of the way)
(The jets then fly through the skywriting and over the circuit, where the crowd is cheering and laughing upon seeing them. Coriander Widetrack giggles upon seeing them, wearing a Marco toy on her antenna. Two of the jets then fly away in different directions, as the screen then shows Artie and another announcer looking at the different cameras.)
Artie: Nelson! Zoom in. Ready, 16? Take 16.
(One of the TV cameras then changes to show McQueen on the track with Chick and the King, as they warm up while behind Charlie Checker. While Bob and Darrell are talking, the cameramen aim their cameras at McQueen.)
Bob Cutlass: And there he is, Lightning McQueen! Missing all week, and then he turns up in the middle of nowhere! In a little town called Radiator Springs.
Darrell Cartrip: Wearin' whitewall tires, of all things.
Lightning McQueen: (as Chick's "C" sticker shines sunlight over his eyes) Oh!
Chick Hicks: Ka-chicka! Ka-chicka! Ka-chicka! (chuckles) Hey, where you been, McQueen? I've been kinda lonely. Nobody to hang out with. I mean, except the Dinoco folks. Oh, and the twins. Of course. You know, the ones that used to be your fans, but now they're my fans. Anyway, listen to what the twins think...
(But then McQueen daydreams of when he sees Sally driving along the bridge beside the waterfall in Tailfin Pass, then of The gang telling him that they'll be his friends.)
Larry's voice: Well, i'll be your friend Lightning.
Lilo's voice: We'll all be your friends.
Teresa's voice: Even me, Yuki and Elena will.
(Just then, a green flag is waved as the screen then shows Dexter Hoover waving it to start the race. The King and Chick get on their way, but McQueen was not ready.)
Lightning McQueen: Agh! Shoot! (gets on his way)
Darrell Cartrip: Boogity, boogity, boogity, boys! Let's go racin'!
(The screen shows the three racecars racing, as McQueen is a couple of seconds behind and catching up. The crowd is seen cheering, as the camera moves to show Lynda and Tex cheering on for the King.)
Lynda Weathers: Come on, you can do it!
Tex Dinoco: Come on, King, make us proud, boy!
Bob Cutlass: Fifty laps down, and The King is still holding a slim lead.
Darrell Cartrip: (as McQueen gets beside Chick) Hey, McQueen's got a run on him! He's lookin' to the inside!
(But then, Chick goes right in front of McQueen, causing him to brake.)
Darrell Cartrip: Oh! Chick slammed the door on him!
Bob Cutlass: Chick's not making it easy on him today.
Darrell Cartrip: Oh, man, he lost so much momentum, and now he's gonna have to chase him back down!
(The screen changes to McQueen's point of view as he sees the King and Chick ahead. The screen then changes as McQueen daydreams again, showing him following Sally and the characters driving, chuffing and flying through the woods, as soft music is heard along with birds singing. But when Sally splashes through the puddle, McQueen then notices he is heading towards the barrier, and turns away, with his brakes squealing, and spins off the track.)
Bob Cutlass: Oh, McQueen spins out in the infield!
Mia and Tia: (both gasp along with the crowd)
(McQueen then comes to a stop on the infield.)
Chick Hicks: (chuckles) Ha-ha! Just me and the old man, fellas. McQueen just doesn't have it today!
Chick Hicks' Pit Crew: (all laugh)
Lightning McQueen: (groans and drives back onto the track)
Mack: (through the radio) Hey, kid, are you all right?
Lightning McQueen: I don't know, Mack. I, uh... I, uh... I don't think I...
Doc Hudson: (through the radio) I didn't come all this way to see you quit.
Larry: (through the radio) And neither do us!
(McQueen then looks to see Doc, the rest of the Veggie and Character gang and most of the Radiator Springs residents in his pit. Ramone has had a new paint job, being red with McQueen's bolt and Elena, Teresa and Yuki, are shown wearing cheerleader outfits and holding pom-poms, while Doc has his original racing paint job and tires and a headsets, which Bob and Larry also have to contact with McQueen on his radio.)
Lightning McQueen: Doc? Larry?
Radiator Springs townsfolk and Veggie and Character Gang: (all cheer)
Lightning McQueen: Guys, you're all here! I can't believe this!
Lilo: Well, Sally, Red and Lizzie have stayed behind to watch the race on TV.
Thomas: We all have come here to be your pit crew!
Susie: And we've all got your back!
Elena: And that's what friends are for, Lightning, and you are our new friend! [to Mertle] Right, Mertle?
Mertle: [gives in] [sighs] Yeah.
Doc Hudson: And I knew you needed a crew chief, but I didn't know it was this bad.
Lightning McQueen: I thought you said you'd never come back.
Doc Hudson: Well, I really didn't have a choice. Your friends here wanted to help. And somehow, they managed to convince me to change my heart. And besides, Mater didn't get to say goodbye.
Mater: Goodbye! OK, I'm good.
Tigger: (laughs) No need to say it now, Mater, 'cause we're helping Lightning.
Lightning McQueen: (chuckles)
(McQueen then comes to the pits, as Mater holds the sign, which has Radiator Springs' logo on it. Fillmore and Sarge refuel McQueen.)
Larry: And this is perfect for your second humility lesson: Accepting your new friends as your pit crew and Doc as your crew chief and finishing this tiebreaker race with their help.
Lightning McQueen: Really? Thanks.
Larry: You're welcome.
Doc Hudson: Lilo and your other friends had this idea and rallied us together.
Pooh: Ahem, guys! The race!
Doc Hudson: Oh yeah. (to McQueen) All right, if you can drive as good as you can fix a road then you can win this race with your eyes shut. Now, get back out there!
(McQueen then drives back out through the pit lane.)
Doc Hudson: Hot snot, we are back in business! Guido! Luigi! Daisy! Donald! You're goin' up against professional pit crews, boys. You're gonna have to be fast.
Luigi: They will not know what bit them!
Donald: You can count on us...boss.
Daisy: Of course, Doc. We will have Lightning keeping up in the pits in no time!
Doc Hudson: (to McQueen, through the radio) Kid, you can beat these guys. Find a groove that works for you and get that lap back.
(McQueen then goes faster, going around the bends and catching up. Then the Dinoco pit crew notice Doc in his look, murmuring as they see him.)
HTB Pitty 1: Is it?
HTB Pitty 2: Oh, wow. That's him!
Artie: Is that...? That's the Hudson Hornet! Bob! Darrell! The Hudson Hornet's back!
Bob Cutlass: Darrell, it appears McQueen has got himself a pit crew. And look who he has for a crew chief!
(All of the cameramen turn their cameras to show Doc, and the crowd then notices him.)
Larry the Camper : Whoa! Look, man. It's the Hudson Hornet!
Albert Hinkey: Whoa!
Doug R.M.: Well, dip me in axle grease and call me Slick! It surely is.
(A whistle is heard, and the crowd then cheers. The screen then shows a TV at Flo's V8 Cafe showing Doc, as Sally, Red and Lizzie are watching the race on TV back in Radiator Springs.)
Bob Cutlass: Wow, this is history in the making. Nobody has seen the racing legend in over 50 years!
Lizzie: (noticing Doc on the TV, not realizing it is him) Hey, Doc! Come look at this fellow on the radio. He looks just like you.
(Sally and Red chuckle. Then the screen shows McQueen catching up to the King and Chick, and he manages to get past.)
Bob Cutlass: McQueen passes them on the inside!
Darrell Cartrip: But he's still nearly a lap down!
Bob Cutlass: Can he catch up to them with only 60 laps to go?
Doc Hudson: You're going great, kid. Just keep your head on.
Guido: Vai! Vai, vai! (pushes a cart of tires away)
Wide Chick Pitty: Hey, shrimpie, where did McQueen find you, huh? Those round things are called tires, and they go under the car!
Chick Hicks' Pit Crew: (all laugh)
Guido: (angered) Con chi credi di parlare? Ma, con chi stai parlando?
Luigi: No! No, no! You'll have your chance, Guido. You will have your chance.
Elena, Teresa and Yuki: Yeah!
(McQueen is then seen racing, progressing through the race and managing to get to Chick and the King.)
Chick Hicks: Oh, kid's just trying to be a hero, huh? (as McQueen gets beside him) What do you think of this? (hits McQueen, causing him to spin) Yeah, that's it, kid.
(But McQueen manages to keep up with going backwards and past Chick.)
Chick Hicks: What?!
Mater: Whoa! Git-R-done!
Thomas: Well done, McQueen!
Lightning McQueen: (winks, and turns back around)
Mater: (laughs) I taught him that. (poses to Chick's pit crew) Ka-chow!
Wide Chick Pitty and HTB Pitty: (getting their eyes hit by the sunlight reflecting off Mater's wing mirror) Ah!
Elena, Teresa and Yuki: (laughing)
Bob Cutlass: What a move by McQueen! He's caught up to the leaders.
Darrell Cartrip: Oh, yeah. This is what it's all about. A three-way battle for the lead, with ten to go!
Tex Dinoco: (chortles) Look at that boy go out there!
(Chick then tries to get past McQueen, but gets blocked on several attempts.)
Chick Hicks: Oh! (grunts, before coming up beside McQueen) No, you don't! (presses against McQueen, causing a puncture in one of his rear tires)
Laura: Come on! That's not even fair!
Lightning McQueen: Doc, I'm flat! I'm flat!
Doc Hudson: Can you get back to the pits?
Lightning McQueen: Yeah, yeah. I think so.
Doc Hudson: (noticing Dexter waving a yellow flag) Hey, got a yellow. Bring it in. Don't tear yourself up, kid.
(Charlie Checker then comes out in front of the King and Chick.)
Mack: We gotta get him back out there fast or we're gonna be a lap down, and we'll never win this race!
Ralphie: We know, Mack, we know!
Thomas: We have just got to make this a quick pit stop!
Doc Hudson: Guido! It's time.
Wide Chick Pitty: Hey, tiny, you gonna clean his windshield?
(As McQueen comes into the pits, Guido throws the new tires up in the air, quickly takes off the old tires and catches the new tires, and puts them on, lasting four seconds, before McQueen gets going again. Chick's crew then feel shocked, and all of the pitties' grilles, except the one of Wide Chick Pitty, fall off.)
Darrell Cartrip: I don't believe it!
Bob Cutlass: That was the fastest pit stop I've ever seen!
Darrell Cartrip: It was a great stop, but he's still gotta beat that pace car out!
Bob Cutlass: It's gonna be close.
(McQueen manages to get back in front of Charlie. His pit crew and Team Equesodor then cheer.)
Albert Hinkey: Yeah, baby!
(All of the crowd holler.)
Darrell Cartrip: Yay, he's back in the race!
Guido: (blows his wheel gun) Peet stop.
(Then Wide Chick Pitty's grill falls off. All of McQueen's pit crew and Veggie and Character Gang then cheer for Guido.)
Sarge: Guido, you did it!
Fillmore: Way to go, Guido!
Larry: That was so awesome, Guido!
Bob: You've managed to make this one quick pit stop!
(McQueen manages to catch up to the other racers as Charlie comes back in. The crowd is seen again, cheering, before the camera shows Dexter waving the white flag.)
Bob Cutlass: This is it. We're heading into the final lap and McQueen is right behind the leaders. What a comeback!
Darrell Cartrip: A hundred and ninety-nine laps! And baby, it all comes down to this!
Doc Hudson: (through the radio to McQueen) This is it, kiddo. You've got four turns left. One at a time. Drive it in deep and hope it sticks.
Doc Hudson, Bob and Larry: (through the radio to McQueen) Go!
(McQueen closes in, revving his engine, and is about to pass Chick, who tries get in front again, but McQueen swerves and goes to the other side.)
Chick Hicks: We'll see about that! (tries to get in front of McQueen, who then brakes, causing Chick to press against the wall, and making McQueen able to go past)
Bob Cutlass: McQueen's going inside!
(But then, Chick rams McQueen off the track, and then hits the King, causing them both to serpentine.)
Bob Cutlass: Chick and the King are loose!
Darrell Cartrip: I think McQueen is out of the race!
(McQueen suddenly gets a thought, and turns his front tires right, impressing Doc and surprising the team as it helps McQueen to get back on the track and past the King and Chick.)
Darrell Cartrip: McQueen saved it!
Bob Cutlass: He's back on the track!
Doc Hudson: Float like a Cadillac...
Lightning McQueen: Sting like a Beemer!
Larry the Camper: Whoooo!
Doug R.M.: (whistles)
Albert Hinkey: Ka-chow! Ka-chow! Ka...
Radiator Springs townsfolk: (all cheer)
Lilo: Go, Lightning! Woo-hoo!
Elena, Teresa and Yuki: Woo-hoo! Go, Lightning McQueen!
Darrell Cartrip: Lightning McQueen is gonna win the Piston Cup!
Sally Carrera: Come on! You got it! You got it, Stickers!
Chick Hicks: (grunts as the King keeps blocking him) I am not coming in behind you again, old man!
(Chick then rams the King off the track, causing him to go through the air, hitting the infield several times and spinning, before coming to a stop, having huge damage. The crowd gasps at what happened.)
Lynda Weathers: Oh, no!
Doc Hudson: (feeling and looking shocked)
(Then McQueen notices on the circuit's television screen what has happened, then the screen changes to show the newspaper about Doc's crash. Realizing what had happened to Doc, McQueen grinds to a halt before reaching the finish line, leaving the crowd shocked and puzzled.)
Tigger: What the...?
Larry: Lightning?
Yuki: Why has he stopped?
Chick Hicks: (crossing the finish line) Yeah! Whoo-hoo! (goes onto the infield and spins around) I won, baby! Yeah! Oh, yeah!
Donald: Are you kidding me?
Mickey: He just let Chick win the race!
Flo: What's he up to, Doc?
(Doc then gets a smile before McQueen drives backwards towards the King.)
The King: (grunting and moaning) What are you doing, kid?
Lightning McQueen: I think The King should finish his last race. (begins to push the King along the track)
The King: You just gave up the Piston Cup, you know that?
Lightning McQueen: Ah. This grumpy old racecar my friends and I know once told us something. It's just an empty cup.
(Doc smiles, as well as the crowd.)
Bob Cutlass: Darrell, is pushing on the last lap legal?
Darrell Cartrip: Hey, man, he's not really pushing him. He's just giving him a little bump draft.
Chick Hicks: (still cheering) Whoo-hoo-hoo-hoo-hoo! (stops spinning upon noticing something) Hey! What? What's going on?
Doug R.M.: That's what I call racing right there.
Albert Hinkey: (sobs)
Tex Dinoco: (laughs)
(McQueen pushes the King across the finish line, which Dexter waves the checkered flag, and the crowd cheers wildly, throwing merchandise in the air.)
Junior: I see it! He was getting the King to finish!
Lilo: Whoo-hoo!
Luigi: Bravo il mio amico!
Mater: Way to go, buddy!
Minnie: Well done, Lightning!
Fillmore: There's a lotta love out there, you know, man?
Sarge: Don't embarrass me, Fillmore.
Bob: Looks like Lightning really has learned his lesson.
Lizzie: That's my hot rod!
(Red and Sally also smile. Then the camera shows Chick on the stage as he is surrounded by Mia, Tia and the press, who are all frowning, standing still and remaining quiet.)
Chick Hicks: Come on, baby, bring it out! Bring out the Piston Cup! Ka-chicka! Ka-chicka! (The trophy appears next to him.) Yeah-h-h! Now, that's what I'm talkin' about! Hey, how come the only one celebrating is me, huh? Where are the girls? Bring on the confetti! (gets shot at by the confetti) Ow! Ow! Easy with the confetti! What's goin' on? Come on, snap some pictures. I gotta go sign my deal with Dinoco! Ka-chicka! Say it with me! Ka-chicka!
Photographer: Boo!
Tim Rimmer: Boo!
Mia and Tia: Boo!
Chick Hicks: What's wrong with everybody? (gets hit by a tire) Ow! What's happening? Where's the happiness? (as the press, Mia and Tia all throw tires, shoes, "C" merchandise, oil cans and cartons at him) Hey! This is the start of the Chick era! (leaves with his trophy)
(Meanwhile, McQueen pushes the King back to the Dinoco stage. Lynda then kisses McQueen on the cheek.)
Lynda Weathers: Thanks, Lightning.
Lightning McQueen: You're welcome. (leaves)
Larry: Way to go, King!
Doug R.M.: You're still the car! (whistles)
Albert Hinkey: You're The King! Yeah!
(The crowd then cheers, before McQueen comes back to the Rust-eze team and the Veggie and Character gang, who are laughing and cheering.)
Rusty Rust-eze: You made us proud, kid!
Mack: Congrats on the loss, me bucko!
Doc Hudson: You got a lotta stuff, kid.
Lightning McQueen: Thanks, Doc.
Larry: Oh. You've barely became our student, and you're already taking initiative! [tearing up] Oh... So proud...
Lilo: You're truly starting your way down the path of friendship.
Junior: And humility.
Thomas: And we'll still guide you every step of the way.
Lightning McQueen: Well, I've found the perfect teachers and their friends to teach me about the magic of friendship and humility.
Pooh: Well done, Lightning! Today you really were the best race car!
Laura: What you did was terrific! And it Looks like you really have learned your lesson.
Mertle: I have to admit what you did there you was pretty,,,uh,,humble. That was cool.
Lightning McQueen: Thanks, Mertle.
Lilo: [whispers to Stitch, Elena, Teresa and Yuki] Well, what do you know. Looks like Mertle did learn something too,
Stitch, Elena, Teresa and Yuki: Yeah!
Tex Dinoco: Hey, Lightning. How 'bout coming over here and talk to me a minute? Son, that was some real racing out there. How'd you like to become the new face of Dinoco?
Lightning McQueen: (feeling surprised, looks towards the Dinoco team, which Rotor Turbosky winks) But I didn't win.
Tex Dinoco: Lightnin', there's a whole lot more to racin' than just winnin'.
Dusty Rust-eze: He was so rusty, when he drove down the street buzzards used to circle the car!
Rust-eze team, Radiator Springs residents and characters: (all laugh)
Lightning McQueen: (looking towards them) Thank you, Mr. Tex, but...but these Rust-eze guys over there gave me my big break. I'm gonna stick with them. Also, Bob. Larry and their friends. They taught me that I don't need to just rely only on myself to win a race. But I still have a long way to go to learn about friendship and humility. So, I'm going to let them help me when i need them.
Tex Dinoco: Well, I sure can respect all that. Still, you know, if there's ever anything I can do for you, just let me know.
Lightning McQueen: I sure appreciate that. Thank you. Actually, there is one thing.
Mater: (riding in Rotor Turbosky, Dinoco's helicopter, over Radiator Springs) Whoo-hoo! (laughs) Hey, look at me! I'm flying, by golly! Whoo-hoo! (as most of the Radiator Springs residents watch from the ground) I'm happier than a tornado in a trailer park! Wheeee!
(Then the screen shows Luigi and Guido looking at their tire shelves in their store.)
Luigi: (to Guido) I think it's about-a time we redecorate.
Michael Schumacher: (arriving with Antonio Veloce Eccellente and Costanzo Della Corsa) Caio! Hi. Lightning McQueen told me this was the best place in the world to get tires. How 'bout setting me and my friends up with three or four sets each?
Luigi: (gasps) Guido! There is a real Michael Schumacher Ferrari in my store. A real Ferrari!! Punch me, Guido. Punch me in the face. This is the most glorious day of my life. (faints)
Michael Schumacher: Wow. (speaks Italian to Guido) Spero che il tuo amico si riprenda. Mi dicono che siete fantastici.
(Guido faints as well. Then the screen shows the Wheel Well, and moves to show Sally looking at it, sighing. Then she hears the sound of an engine revving, and turns to see McQueen appearing with a new paint job and also the characters, and they all chuckle and giggle.)
Sally Carrera: Just passing through?
Lightning McQueen: Actually, I thought I'd stop and stay awhile. I hear this place is back on the map.
Sally Carrera: It is?
Lightning McQueen: Yeah, there's some rumor floating around that some hotshot Piston Cup racecar is setting up his big racing headquarters here.
Sally Carrera: Really? Ah, well, there goes the town.
Bob: And guess what, Sally?
Sally Carrera: What is it, Bob?
Bob: McQueen's now my and Larry's student.
Larry: And Doc said we all can stay here with Lightning as long as we please. So we can teach him about friendship.
Thomas: Be more socialable.
Pooh: And less independent.
Bob: And more humble.
Lilo: And just be there, as his friends.
Sally Carrera: Really? That's wonderful!
Lilo: I know, right?
Lightning McQueen: You know, I really missed you, Sally.
Sally Carrera: Well, I create feelings in others they themselves don't understand and, uh, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.
Lightning McQueen: (chuckles as they move slowly toward each other)
Mater: (appearing onboard Rotor) ♪ McQueen and Sally parked beneath the tree, K-i-s-s-... uh... i-n-t! ♪
Lightning McQueen: Great timing, Mater!
Mater: (as Rotor flies away) Hep-non, hip-hep, hi-li-lilly! Whee!
Lightning McQueen: (to Sally) He's my best friend. What're you gonna do?
Larry: Well, you did kept your Promise to him.
Sally Carrera: So, Stickers and you guys, last one to Flo's buys?
Lightning McQueen: I don't know. Why don't we just take a drive?
Sally Carrera: Hmm... Nah. (quickly drives away)
Bubbles: (giggles) Race you! (quickly flies away after Sally Carrera)
Thomas: Yes! (blows his whistle and quickly chuffs away after them and the rest of the whole team follow)
Lightning McQueen: Yeah! Ka-chow! (follows Sally and the characters, as they race each other, while John Mayer's version of "Route 66" plays, with Mater yelling while riding in Rotor.)
Tow Mater: YEEEEEEHHOOOOOOOOO!
[And Rotor flies the screen the screen whips to black and the story ends]
Closing Countertop[]
(Back to the countertop)
Larry: Woah Bob! That was really impressive!
Bob: Way thank you, Larry. Now it's time to talk about what we learned today.
[Electronic music play as the female singers from the Merrie Melodies song appear]
Woman Singers: And so what we have learned applies to our lives today,
God has a lot to say in His book.
Yosemite Sam: [shows up] Ooohh, Will you please stop singing?! I feel like I'm gonna blow again!
Woman Singers: You see, we know that God’s word is for everyone,
and now that our song is done, we'll take a look.
Yosemite Sam: OHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
(EXPLOSION and then he and the singers are gone.)
Bob: Heh-Heh. In the story, Lightning McQueen thought he could depend on him self to win a a race. He thought he didn't need help. And it all went up to his head.
Larry: But Lightning learned that we need to be humble. Because when we brag it will only trap us. And when he humbled himself, he got a bunch of new friends. And we're two of them.
Bob: Yep. And we're his teachers now too. But we'll teach him next time we go to Radiator Springs. But for now let's see if Qwerty has a verse for us today.
(Qwerty brings up the verse from Philippians 2:3 )
Bob: "Do nothing from selfish ambition, but in humility count others more better than yourselves. Philippians 2:3"
Larry: So, Wanda. I hope you learned the lesson that Lightning learned. You probably a good sack jumper, but don't let that go to your head. True stars are humble and help everyone on the team.
Bob: That's right, someone is humble when they think about other people more than they think about themselves.
Larry: Ka-Chow! Well, that's all the time we have for today. Remember, God made you special..
Bob: And He loves you very much!
Both: Goodbye!
[The screen turns black]
Epilogue and Post Credits[]
(During the credits a screen and shows an epilogue of the map is shown, with Radiator Springs' location added back on. Then it shows some of the traffic on the Interstate 40 driving to Radiator Springs, and a recreation of the flashback, with a couple of differences such as having the current Radiator Springs logo on the sign, Mia and Tia in their "Lightning McQueen" paint jobs working as waitresses at Flo's V8 Cafe, and Mater being enthusiastic instead of towing a car to the cafe. Then Fred is shown on the crossroad, jumping around and showing stickers from Lizzie saying the names of Kingman, Barstow and San Bernadino at the same time as the names are mentioned in the lyrics of the "Route 66" song, before he then stops, with his front bumper falling off. Next, it shows Sheriff sleeping next to the billboard, when Boost, Wingo, DJ and Snot Rod speed past, causing Sheriff to chase after them with his siren on. It then skips to when Sheriff presses the button to close the impound gate, as it shows the Delinquent Road Hazards in the impound with parking boots on.)
Snot Rod: (sniffing) Ah-choo!
(The camera then shows the Glenrio Motel being changed to the Racing Museum, as Mater, guide Dale Earnhardt, Jr, the King and Lynda inside.)
Mater: All right, everybody please keep together now. We is now entering the Doc Hudson wing of the museum. (shows them the part that mentions Doc having 27 wins in 1952)
Dale Earnhardt, Jr.: Wow. Unbelievable. That many wins in a single season.
The King: He's the real deal, Junior. The Hudson Hornet was my inspiration.
Lynda Weathers: (to Mater) Excuse me, son. Is Doc Hudson here today?
Mater: Sorry, Mrs. The King, I think Doc went out for a drive or somethin'.
(The camera then moves over Willy's Butte as it shows McQueen racing with Thomas, Larry, Max, Emmy, Ord, Cassie, Zak and Wheezie.)
Lightning McQueen: Whoo! Whoo!
Doc Hudson: Yeah!
Lightning McQueen and Wheezie: Whoo-hoo!
Max: Ha-ha!
Larry: Whoa!
Emmy: This really is the way to travel.
Doc Hudson: Well, you all sure ain't no dirt boys and dirt girls.
Lightning McQueen: Not today, old man. I know all your tricks.
Cassie: So did I.
Ord: Me too.
Zak: I do too.
Wheezie: And so do I.
Doc Hudson: (growls and turns towards the cliff)
(McQueen, Thomas, Larry, Max, Emmy, Ord, Cassie, Zak and Wheezie stop and look down the edge)
Lightning McQueen: Doc! Doc!
Larry: Where is he?
Max: I can't see him!
Cassie: You don't think he went into the cactus, do you?
Thomas: I hope he's okay.
Doc Hudson: (jumping back to the ground level McQueen, Thomas, Larry, Max, Emmy, Ord, Cassie, Zak and Wheezie are on) Yee-hah! Not all my tricks, rookies!
(Then the camera shows a close-up of Bessie blowing a bubble of tar, which then bursts and causes tar to land on the Delinquent Road Hazards, who all grumble as they are paving the other road going to the crossroad. Then the screen shows McQueen, Mickey and Sally reopening the Wheel Well Motel)
Mickey: I now present the Wheel Well Motel, reopened!
(Everyone, including Mater, Luigi, Michael Schumacher, Costanzo, Lizzie, Ramone, Flo, Fillmore, Sheriff, Sarge, the characters and several visitors, all cheer.)
Lilo: Great, isn't it?
Stitch, Elena, Teresa and Yuki: Yeah!
(Then the screen shows a sign saying "Sarge's SUV Bootcamp", before showing Sarge training T.J. Hummer, Charlie Cargo, Frank "Pinky" Pinkerton and Murphy.)
Sarge: Attention! Kiss the pavement goodbye, gentlemen. When I'm finished with you, you'll have mud in places you didn't know you had!
T.J. Hummer: Yo, I've never been off-road!
Sarge: (drives towards him) Well, that's gonna change right now! About face!
(Charlie Cargo, Murphy and Frank Pinkerton quickly turn around the other way, while T.J. steps slowly around.)
Sarge: Drop and give me 20 miles!
(Charlie, Frank Pinkerton and Murphy then drive off the road onto the dirt, while T.J. is still stepping around slowly.)
Sarge: Go! Go! Go, go, go, go, go! Go!
T.J. Hummer: (driving on the dirt) Man, now I got dirt in my rims!
(Then the screen shows Mater fishing items from a valley. His hook hits something metal.)
Mater: Huh? (to McQueen and characters) Look at this! It's my hood! It's my hood! I ain't seen this thing in 20 years! (puts his hood on, with his voice now sounding funny) Well, it fits perfectly. How do I look?
Larry: Um...
Bugs Bunny: Well...
Thomas: Hmm.
Goofy: Well...
Junior: Um...
Mater: (sneezes) Ah-choo!
(As Mater sneezes, his hood falls off and back into the valley.)
Mater: Oh, dang.
Thomas: Don't worry, Mater, I think you look better with your hood.
Pooh: I agree, Thomas.
Mickey: And maybe you'll be able to get it again.
(Then the camera shows visitors entering the Radiator Springs Drive-In Theater, as the sign shows that Toy Car Story is playing. McQueen, Mater, Mia, Tia, Mack, the rest of the residents and the whole of the Veggie and Character gang are watching as well. As they watch each movie throughout the scene, a couple of tractors appear behind the fence, increasing throughout the scene, with Frank appearing at the end.)
Woody: YOU ARE A TOY CAR!
Buzz Lightyear: You are a sad, strange little wagon and you have my pity. Farewell. (drives away)
Woody: Oh, yeah? Well, good riddance, you loony!
Hamm: Hey, I hate to break up the road rally, guys, but they're here! Birthday guests at three o'clock!
Mickey: [laughs] I can't believe it's Toy Story, in Car style!
Mack: (chuckles) Oh, man! (to the characters) And whoever does the voice of that piggy truck, I'm tellin' ya, fellas, he's one great actor!
Junior: Exactly, Mack.
Elena: And I believe...
Teresa: ...you have the same voice as him.
Yuki: That's right.
(Then it shows Monster Trucks, Inc. being shown.)
Mike Wazowski: We're banished, genius! Stuck out here in this wasteland without chains!
Emmy: Wow! Monsters, Inc!
James P. Sullivan: But, Mike, the Boomobile's in trouble! She needs our help!
Mike Wazowski: You're still not listening! (gasps as he sees the Yeti)
James P. Sullivan: (turns around) Ah!
Yeti: Welcome to the Himalayas! Snow cone?
Mack: Oh, that Abominable Snowplow's quite the comic thespian!
Blossom: Yes, indeed.
Bubbles: I agree. And those snow cones were really good.
(Then it shows A Bug's Life being shown.)
Voice: Just get in there. Go! Go, go, go!
Thomas: [laughs] Oh! A Bug's life too?
Flik: (to the Circus Bugs) Circus cars? How can you be circus cars?!
P.T. Flea: (appearing in front of the Circus Bugs) These are the lousiest circus cars in the world, and they're gonna make me rich!
Mack: Wait a minute here. They're just usin' the same actor over and over. What kind of a cut-rate production is this?
Larry: I believe that they did it as an Easter egg like all the other Pixar Easter eggs, Mack.
Junior: And John Ratzenberger has the same voice as you.
Lilo: Talk about breaking the fourth wall.
Stitch: Yeah.
(The screen fades as the epilogue ends.)
[We see a showcase of characters and a message that says "Dedicated to Joe Ranft. 1960-2005"]
(The rest end credits then show (like this) as "Find Yourself", play.)
(Afterwards, a post-credits scene is shown, where Van and Minny are lost in a desert, covered in dust, and with tumbleweeds stuck to their tires and inside Van's luggage carrier.)
Minny: (moans) Oh, for the love of Chrysler, can we please ask someone for directions?!
Van: No! There's an on-ramp close! I know it! I can feel it! (laughs while almost driven to insanity)
(Then a fly flies into the screen, leaving a mark, looking around for a few seconds, before flying away. The company logos are then shown, ending the episode.)
