- Lightning McQueen: Okay, Here We Go. Focus. Speed. I’m speed. One winner. 42 losers. I eat losers for Breakfast. Breakfast? Wait, maybe I should have had breakfast? A little Breakfast could Feen good for me. No, no, no, stay focused. Speed! I'm faster than fast, quicker than quick! I’m Lightning!
- Mack: [pounds on his trailer door] Hey Lightning, are you ready?
- Lightning McQueen: [Real Gone plays as the trailer door opens] Oh, yeah. Lightning's ready.
[McQueen revs his engine, and his different body parts are shown as he drives slowly out of the trailer with his face visible. He then revs his engine again as the crowd cheer. The camera then shows the audience on the stadium seats, then an aerial view of the Motor Speedway of the South circuit, then a cameraman aiming a camera at the circuit. The camera then shows McQueen on the television screen on the scoring pylon. Then the camera shows the circuit from as high as the audience seats, and zooms in on McQueen]
- Lightning McQueen: It’s Doon.
- Brian: Get your antenna balls here!
[The camera then shows the racers whooshing along, then it shows some RVs, the camera zooms in on two RVs named Larry and R.M., who are cheering]
- Doug R.M.: You got that right, Slick. [whistles]
[Then the camera shows some of the racers in the pits as the air wrenches are heard whirring. It goes to different racers as they have their pit stops, and ends with one of the racers exiting back onto the track. The camera shows some people going into the toilets, as there is a long queue for the women. Then it shows in the crowd an RV named Elvis, who is dancing to Real Gone, as soon as the lyric "Uh" is spoken, Elvis moves his mouth to it, the camera then shows Chick Hicks as he purposely hits a racer named Lee Revkins off the track, Lee Revkins grunts, and screams, slides away, the camera shows The King overtaking Chick, and he drives away revving his engine]
- Bob Cutlass: [Then the camera shows Bob Cutlass and Darrell Cartrip, car versions of Bob Costas and Darrell Waltrip, announcing the race as Real Gone goes to an instrumental break] 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 anymore 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 come 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 as Real Gone resumes. 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: No, you don't. [McQueen then moves to the left and finally overtakes Chick's, McQueen chuckles, Chick then gains on McQueen as Real Gone ends. As soon as "Real gone" is spoken, Chick Hicks then bumps McQueen, causing him to slide off the track onto the infield. The crowd is heard booing to what had happened.]
- Fans: Oohh. What a ride!
- Chick Hicks: [laughs]
- Fans: Go get 'em, McQueen! Go get 'em! We love you, Lightning! [whistles, McQueen then drives back on the track, behind all of the other racers. Chick then looks back to see McQueen far behind him.]
- Chick Hicks: Dinoco is all mine. [bumps Winford, slides into the wall, and collides with all of the other racers]
- Darrell Cartrip: Trouble, turn-3!
- Chick Hicks: [chuckles] Get through that, McQueen.
- Bob Cutlass: Oh, a huge crash behind the leaders!
- Fans: [gasps, 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, grunts as Billy Oilchanger gets hit by two racers, gasps as another racer named Todd Marcus from Cars: Fast as Lightning comes towards him, Claude then gets hit by Todd, ending upside down on Todd's roof, Claude Scruggs and Todd Marcus screams, 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's continues dodging the other racers who are sliding across the track. Then he bounces on Claude's undercarriage up into the air, McQueen exhales deeply and having his tongue down. Then he moves his tire towards the audience, as a reflection of McQueen's bolt sticker shines on them]
- Mia & Tia: Lightning, oh! [sighs]
- Darrell Cartrip: [McQueen's then lands back on the ground.] Look at that, McQueen made it through!
- Bob Cutlass: Man, a spectacular move by Lightning McQueen.
- Lightning McQueen: Yeah! Ka-chow!
- Fans: McQueen! McQueen! McQueen! McQueen! McQueen! McQueen! McQueen!
- Albert Hinkey: Yeah McQueen! Ka-chow!
- [honks his horn, while the crowd members around him are disgusted by his loud noise. As McQueen keeps going, a pace car named Charlie Checker comes to lead him down the track during the caution.]
- Bob Cutlass: While everyone else heads into the pits, McQueen stays out to take the lead!
- Chuck Armstrong: (Reveals that he was the car that flew through the air during the wreck) Don't take me out Tow. I can still race! [The camera then shows most of the other racers having a pit stop and badly driving to get to their pits due to the damage they suffered in the crash. 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.]
- Chick's coach: He's not pitting!
- Chick Hicks: Come on, you gotta get me out there! Let's go, gotta 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!
- Bob Cutlass: [The other racers are seen driving through the pit lane back onto the track] 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, Chick then starts off, getting in the middle of the queue, near the back.]
- Chief Chick: Go, go, go!
- 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, overtaking a racer named Greg Candyman, McQueen continues progressing through the race in the lead, after overtaking a racer named Ponchy Wipeout, 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, putting fuel into McQueen]
- Not Chuck: We need tires now! Come on, let's go!
- Lightning McQueen: Yes, yes, yes! Yes tires, just gas! [drives away]
- Not Chuck: What?! You need tires, you idiot! [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: Normally I said a short-term gain, long-term loss, but it's sure is workin' for him. 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: All he's got it in the bag. Call in the dogs and put out the fire! We're gonna crown us a new champion! [all cheering and whistling, Mia and Tia screams]
- Lightning McQueen: Checkered flag, here I come! [Suddenly, one of McQueen's rear tires blows]
- Darrell Cartrip: Oh no! McQueen has blown a tire!
[crowd gasps]
- Bob Cutlass: And with only one turn to go! Do you can he make it?
- Not Chuck: You Fool!
- Roger Wheeler (And The King Crew Chief): [on radio] McQueen's blown a tire, McQueen's blown a tire! Go, Go, Go, Go, Go, and GO!
- Darrell Cartrip: [The King and Chick then go faster as McQueen is driving slightly slower with one tire lost, McQueen grunts as he falls and finally lands onto the ground, Bob leaves him grunting, suddenly, his other rear tire blows.] He's lost another tire! The King and Chick are coming up fast!
- Bob Cutlass: They're entering turn-3!
- Lightning McQueen: Come on! [He grunts as he falls and finally lands onto the ground, the camera shows the other racers catching up.]
- Darrell Cartrip: I don't believe what I'm watching, Bob! Lightning McQueen is hundred feet from his Piston Cup! [McQueen gasps and continuously does several jumps towards the finish line as the King and Chick are getting closer, Chick growls and finally gets beside the King, but not in front of him]
- Bob Cutlass: The King and Chick rounding turn-4. [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! Too close to call!
- Darrell Cartrip: I don't believe it! I don't believe it!
- Mia & Tia: Lightning! [Screams, all cheering]
- Bob Cutlass: [while Darrell is talking] The most spectacular, amazing unequivocally, unbelievable ending in the history of the world! And we don't even know who won!
- Darrell Cartrip: Look at that! [The officials are then shown watching replays of the finish at different angles. 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!
- 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 Crew Chief Out There?
- Lightning McQueen's Pitties: [laugh]
- 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? No, no, no, I wanted to give folks a little sizzle.
- Not Chuck: Sizzle?
- Lightning McQueen: Am I sorry I don'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.
- Cameramen: [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] Hey, get out of the shot!
- Lightning McQueen: Yo, Chuck, what are you doing? You're blocking the camera! Everyone wants to see the bolt!
- Not Chuck: WHAT?!
- Lightning McQueen: Now, back away.
- Not Chuck: [grunts and slams his air wrench towards the ground] THAT'S IT!! Come on, guys! [The Rust-eze pitties then leave, as one of the pitties drops his side onto the ground]
- Lightning McQueen: Ow! Whoa, team! Where are you going?
- Not Chuck: WE QUIT, MR. ONE-MAN SHOW!!
- Lightning McQueen: Oh, oh, oh, oh, okay, leave. Fine! [laughs] 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'S NOT CHUCK!!!
- Lightning McQueen: Oh, whatever.
- Chick Hicks: Hey, Lightning! Yo, McQueen, seriously, that was some pretty darn nice racin' out there. [suddenly makes a sudden movie] BY ME! [Chuckles] Welcome to the Chick era, baby! The Piston Cup, it's mine, dude. It's mine. Hey, fellas, how do you think I'm look in Dinoco blue? DINOCO BLUE! [Continues chuckling]
- Lightning McQueen: In your dreams, Thunder.
- Chick Hicks: Yeah, right. Thunder? What's he talkin' about, "Thunder"?
- Lightning McQueen: You know, because thunder always comes after... Lightning! [poses to the crowd] Pew, ka-ka-pow! [to his pitties]
- Chick Hicks: Who here knew about the thunder thing?
- Chick's Wide Pitty: I didn't.
- Houser Boon: Show us the bolt!
- Cameramen: [Tries to take pictures of McQueen posing his flashing bolt sticker to them]
- Tex Dinoco: [Electronic music plays as the screen then shows some people entering the Dinoco tent, and some others chattering as they take pictures of the Dinoco Girls on stage. Then it shows Tex Dinoco, The King and Lynda Weathers] Oh, we 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 winner to me, you old daddy rabbit.
- The King: Thanks, dear. Wouldn't be nothing without you.
[Then the screen shows McQueen behind the Piston Cup stage, posing his bolt sticker the crowd. Then Mia and Tia screams for McQueen]
- Mia: I'm Mia.
- Tia: I'm Tia.
- Mia & 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.]
- Security: Okay, girls, that's it.
- Mia & Tia: We love you, Lightning, we love you, more!
- The King: Hey Babe. You’re Two Dustin Rations.
- Lightning McQueen: Oh, hey, Mr. The King.
- The King: 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. And 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. 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. Both Mia and Tia repeatedly kiss McQueen on the sides. Then his daydream ends as the screen shows the present day.]
- The King: [to McQueen] If you figure that out, you just gonna be, okay?
- Lightning McQueen: [McQueen clears throat] Oh, yeah, that is spectacular advice. Thank you, Mr. The King! Oh!
- Bob Cutlass: [on speakers] 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: [on speakers] ...we have a 3-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: [Laughs] Hey, McQueen, that must be really embarrassing, but I wouldn't be worry about it, because I didn't do it! [laughing]
- Bob Cutlass: Piston Cup officials have determined that a tiebreaker race between the three leaders will be held in California in one week.
- Chick Hicks: Well, thank you! Thanks to all of you out there! Thank you! [Whispering to McQueen] Hey, rook, first one to California gets Dinoco all to himself. [Screaming to the crowd] No, not me! No, you rock, and you know that!
- Al Oft: Oh, yeah! Whoo!
- Lightning McQueen: [McQueen drives through the trailer parking lot as they go to McQueen's trailer's parking space.] 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.] Huh?
- Mack: Hey Gift The Grass On The Tall.
- 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 at your sponsor's tent.
- Lightning McQueen: WHAT?!
- Mack: Well, he's you gotta make your personal appearance.
- Lightning McQueen: No, no! No, no, no, no, no, no! [The screen then shows a commercial on a TV screen inside the Rust-eze tent, on TV] Yes, yes, yes! Lightning McQueen here. And I use Rust-eze Medicated Bumper Ointment, new rear end formula! Nothing soothes rusty bumper like Rust-ezzzzzeeee. [A picture of a Rust-eze container moves across the rear bumper of a rusty car. As the container moves across, the bumper shines. Text appears saying "Actual results may take up to 36 weeks."] Wow! Look at that shine! Use Rust-eze and you too can look like me! Ka-chow!
- Rusty: [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 laughing] I met this car from Swampscott. He was so rusty he didn't even cast a shadow. [laughs]
- Dusty: You could see his dirty undercarriage. [He crowd laughs, the screen zooms out to show McQueen and Mack outside the tent entrance which has two McQueen cardboard cut-outs. McQueen was hiding behind one of them]
- Lightning McQueen: [sighs angrily] I hate rusty cars! This is not good for my image!
- Mack: [to McQueen] They did give you your big break. Besides, it's in your contract.
- Lightning McQueen: [to the team, to Mack] Oh, will you stop please? Just go get hooked up.
- Dusty: Winter is a grand old time.
- Rusty: Of this there are no ifs or buts. [While Dusty and Rusty were talking, McQueen is hiding behind cardboard cut-outs as they enter the tent]
- Dusty: But remember, all that salt and grime...
- Rusty: Can rust your bolts and freeze your...
- Dusty: [Then the cardboard cut-outs tilt over, exposed McQueen to the rusty cars] Hey, look! There he is! [The rusty cars in the crowd then turn towards McQueen] Our almost champ! Victory ran to your rear end in here, kid.
- Rusty car 1: Lightning McQueen, you are wicked fast!
- Rusty car 2 (J. Shoesteer): That race was a pisser!
- Rusty car 3: Yeah, you were booking, McQueen!
- Lightning McQueen: Give me a little room, guys.
- Fred: You're my hero, Mr. McQueen!
- Lightning McQueen: Yes, I know! [laughs as he reads Fred's name on his license plate] Fred, Fred, thank you!
- Fred: She Knows Her Name! She Knows Her Name!
- [his front bumper falls off, Dusty and Rusty laughs]
- Dusty: Looking good, Freddie! [McQueen's and then get on the stage.]
- Rusty: Thanks to you, Lightning, we had a banner year!
- Dusty: We might clear enough to buy you some headlights.
- Rusty: Are you saying he doesn't have headlights?
- Dusty: That's what I'm telling ya. It's just stickers!
- Lightning McQueen: Well, you know, race cars don't need headlights, because the track is always lit.
- Rusty: Yeah, well, so is my brother, but he still needs headlights. [crowd laughs]
- Lightning McQueen: [Does forced laughter]
- Both: Ladies and gentlemen, Lightning McQueen!
- Fans: [A spotlight shines on McQueen as the rusty cars remain silent with crickets chirping] 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... [McQueen whispering to himself] and an insane amount of luck, [normal voice] you too can look like me... Ka-chow!
- Rusty: [The rusty cars cheering as McQueen and the whole of go into Mack's trailer] Hey, kid.
- Dusty: 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.
- [Mack then drives away]
- Rusty: Don't drive like my brother!
- Dusty: Oh yeah, don't drive like my brother!
- Mack: California, here we come!
- Lightning McQueen: Dinoco, here we come! [Life is a Highway plays. McQueen turns on the lights in the trailer. The screen shows all of his different merchandising]
[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 For the Birds are seen chirping. The screen then resumes to showing Mack progressing on his journey. And while he's driving, have got out to get some fresh air and to fly for a little while...]
- Lightning McQueen: [Then it shows. 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.] Oh... Oh, 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 a honor to be your agent and it almost hurts 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, who all just shook their heads at him to tell him to not say anything about them at all]
- Harv: [to McQueen] Okay, I get it, Mr. Popular, so many friends you can't even narrow it down. Hey! When you get to town, you better make time for your best friend, you gotta break bread with your mishpocheh here.
- Lightning McQueen: Yeah, yeah, that would be great! We should totally...
- Harv: Okay, I gotta jump, kid. L-Let me know how it goes. I'm out.
- Lightning McQueen: [The call ends as the dial tone hums. McQueen sighs] [then some melodic beeping and wheels squeaking are heard.] What?! A minivan?! [on radio] Oh, come on, Mack! You're in the slow lane, this is Lightning McQueen you're hauling here!
- Mack: Just stopping off for a quick breather, kid. Old Mack needs a rest. [starts to go onto the entrance to the where is going]
- Lightning McQueen: Absolutely not. We're driving straight through all night till we get to California, we agreed to it!
- Mack: All night?! May I remind you, federal DOT regs sta-
- Lightning McQueen: Come on, Mack. I need to get there before Chick get hang with Dinoco!
- Mack: [sighs as he sees some sleeping trucks] All those sleeping trucks! [on radio] 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!
- Mack: [to McQueen] All night?
- Lightning McQueen: All night long.
[Later that night, we see McQueen, sleeping. McQueen snores] [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 sniffles, and sneezes. 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 chuckles, 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, pushes Mack back towards Boost]
- Wingo: [chuckles] Right back at ya! [chuckles]
- Boost: Oops! I missed!
- Snot Rod: [dodges in front] You going on vacation?
- Tuner team: [The four cars laugh as Mack, who is still sleeping, moves onto the hard shoulder. The vibration of the hard shoulder causes, McQueen to move slowly forward as he is still sleeping and snores. 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 move forward onto the door which is pressing on the ground and causing sparks. Wingo chuckles, Snot Rod sniffles]
- Boost: Oh no, Snot Rod!
- Wingo: She’s Gonna Blow!
- Snot Rod: [DJ, Boost and Wingo then drive away as Snot Rod is still besides Mack and starting to sneeze.] Ahh...ahhh...ahhh...achoooo!!!
- Mack: [Snot Rod accelerates away, Mack wakes up] GESUNDHEIT! [Chuckling] One should never drive while drowsy.
[McQueen falls 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, McQueen's wakes up, then the sound of a horn honking loudly is heard as a truck heads towards them. McQueen screams, the very jerky moments of the cars causes McQueen to be startled and jolted wide-awake. Once he is awoke he drives out of the way, and continue driving the wrong way while dodging some more cars. McQueen exclaims, then three trucks on all three lanes are seen driving towards them, McQueen gasps, honking their horns. McQueen screams, he drives onto the grass median strip. McQueen pants heavily as he sees a queue of trucks driving away]
- Lightning McQueen: Mack! [He then drives back onto the lane, grunting as he drives in front of some traffic honking their horns. McQueen continues driving faster and overtaking some cars while trying to find Mack.] Mack! [He then comes across the queue of trucks and a few cars. He then accelerates faster, trying to find which truck is Mack.] Mack! Hey, Mack! Mack! [He notices a truck exiting the highway onto another road, thinking that it is Mack.] Mack! Mack, wait for me! [His engine is heard revving as he turns onto the same road that the truck is driving along. His tires squeal as he slides onto the road, and he drives along the road with the truck far ahead.] Mack! [The truck, whose face is not seen properly, then crosses a level crossing without barriers. Afterwards, the bell starts to ring as the pair of antique "upper-quadrant" wigwag crossing signals wave. McQueen then notice this and look to their left to see a train coming. McQueen and then go faster as . The train, named notices him and bellows his horn. McQueen get closer and closer to the level crossing. Thanks to good timing, he crosses the level crossing just in time before Trev could hit him.] Mack! Mack! [He then gets closer to the truck, who is slowing down at a 3-way junction.] Mack! Mack! Wait up! [coughs from the truck's fumes] Mack. Mack! Mack! [He 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.] You're not Mack.
- Jerry: Mack?! I ain't no Mack, I'm a Peterbilt for dang sake! [drives off] Turn on your lights, you moron!
- Lightning McQueen: Mack... the Interstate! [Then McQueen moves backwards and drive left, forgetting that he was actually on the right road to the Interstate before driving onto the wrong road. The screen moves to show that he is actually on Route 66, then it shows an aerial view of him driving along. He then drives past a billboard where Sheriff was, with his roaring engine waking him up. Sheriff gasps and waking up]
- Sheriff: Not in my town, you don't... [chases after McQueen with his siren wailing]
- Lightning McQueen: [notices Sheriff] Oh, no. Oh, maybe he can help me! [Suddenly, Sheriff is heard backfiring. McQueen thought that Sheriff was shooting at them.] He's shooting at me! Why is he shooting at me?!
- Sheriff: [backfiring] I haven't gone this fast in years. [Sheriff grunts as he backfires again] I'm gonna blow a gasket or somethin'.
- Lightning McQueen: Serpentine, serpentine, serpentine!
- Sheriff: What in the blue blazes?! Crazy Hot Brother.
- Fillmore: I’m Telling You Man, Every Third Blank Is Slow.
- Sarge: The Six Is One Daddy Early.
- Lightning McQueen: What? That's not the Interstate! Ow, Ow, Ow, Ow! Ahhh! No, No, No, No! Ow! Ahhh!
- Fillmore: I'm not the only seeing this, right?
- Sarge: Incoming!
- Fillmore: Woah, Man!
- Sarge: No! [Sarge, Fillmore and Ramone drive out of the way. The fence hits Ramone's body. Guido hides behind the sign.]
- Ramone: Hey, you scratch my paint!
- Lightning McQueen: Woah, Woah, Woah, Woah!
- Luigi: My tires!
- Red: Huh!
- Lightning McQueen: Ahhh!
- Fillmore: Fly away, Stanley. Big 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 panting heavily]
- Sheriff: Boy, you're in a heap of trouble.
- Kori Turbowitz: [The next day, we see photographers at the Los Angeles International Speedway watching Mack arrive.] We're live at the Los Angeles International Speedway as the first competitor, Lightning McQueen, is arriving at the Track.
- 'Cameramen: Is It true he's gonna pose for Cargirl? Lightning, what's your strategy? [Mack's trailer door opens, with no one inside it. The all gasping and take pictures with their cameras]
- Mack: What? Did I forget to wipe my mud flaps?
[The screen then shows different news reporters reporting about McQueen's disappearance, and Mack then notices that he and the whole of are missing.]
- News: McQueen's driver arrived in California, but McQueen was missing. Racecar Lightning McQueen was reported missing. He scheduled to race an unprecedented... [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]
- Junior: I just hope Lightning's okay, I sure hate to see anything bad happen to him.
- Jay Limo: I don't know what's harder to find, Lightning McQueen or a crew chief who'll work for him!
- Sven: [German accent] Lightning McQueen must be found at all costs!
- Chuck Manifold: They're all asking the same question: Where is McQueen?
- Lightning McQueen: [The screen shows McQueen sleeping in the Radiator Springs Municipal Impound that morning as he starts to regain consciousness] [McQueen sighs] Oh, boy. Oh... Where am I?
- Tow Mater: Morning, sleeping beauty! [McQueen screams the screen then shows from McQueen's point of view as he wakes up. We see Mater outside the impound gate. Mater chuckling] Boy, I was wondering when you 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.] The parking boot? Why do I have a parking boot on? [The screen zooms out to show our heroes in the impound.] What's going on here?! Please!
- Mater: [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. My name's Mater.
- Lightning McQueen: Mater?
- Mater: Yeah, like "tuh-mater", but without the "tuh"! What's your name?
- Lightning McQueen: Do you don't know my name?
- Mater: Umm, no, I know your name, is your name Mater too?
- Lightning McQueen: What?! Look, I need to get to California as fast as possible. Where am I?
- Mater: Where Are We See You Are De A De. The Cutest Little Towny Carburetor County.
- Lightning McQueen: Oh, great. Just great!
- Mater: Well, if you 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! So if you could just open the gate, take this boot off, you and me, we go cruising, check out the local scene---
- Mater: Dad-gum! [gets ready to press the button for the gate]
- Lightning McQueen: How'd that be, Mater? [about to press the button]
- Mater: Cool!
- Sheriff: MATER! [Mater then stops, and reverses as Sheriff arrives. McQueen then frown and some members of then feel sorry for Mater while some of them look confused.] What did I tell you about talking to the accused?!
- Mater: To not to.
- Sheriff: Well, Quick Your Yapping And Tow That Delinquent Road Hazard To Traffic Court.
- Mater: [Mater whispering to McQueen's] Well, we'll talk later, Mater. [chuckles as he gets behind McQueen] "Later, Mater." That's funny! [McQueen screams. He uses his tow hook to grab McQueen's undercarriage]
- Sheriff: The Radiator Spring Traffic Court Come To Water.
- Ramone: [Then the screen shows inside the building as McQueen and the whole team enter the courtroom, which most of the other Radiator Springs residents were inside and were angry with McQueen for what he have done.] Hey, you scratched my paint! I ought take a blowtorch to you, man!
- Luigi: [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 team followed him.] You broke-a the road! You a very bad car!
- Fillmore: Fascist!
- Lightning McQueen: Officer, Talking Babe. How Long Is Gonna That? I Wanna Go To California Ride.
- Sheriff: Were Sure Water.
- Lightning McQueen: [scoffs] I don't know. Tahiti maybe. He's got a timeshare there.
- Sheriff: When A Defendant Has No Water, The Court Will Assign One To Him. Hey! Anyone Wanna Feen His Water?
- Mater: Shoot, I'll do it, Sheriff!
- Sheriff: All rise! The Honorable Doc Hudson presiding.
- Luigi: Shore.
- Sheriff: Ma Taco Your So.
- Doc Hudson: All Right! I Wanna Know Who’s Responsible For Wrecking My Town Sheriff. I Wanna His Hood On A Platter! I’m Gonna Put Him In Jail Till She Rots! No, Check That. 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? So Him Out Of There, Sheriff. I Want Him Out Of My Courtroom. A Ret A Tall. Case Dismissed.
- Lightning McQueen: Yes!
- Tow Mater: Boy, I'm purty good at this lawyer in' stuff.
- Sally Carrera: Sorry The Brother.
- Lightning McQueen: Holy Porsha! She's gotta Feen from my attorney's office! Hey, thanks for coming, we're all set. She’s letting me go.
- Sally Carrera: She’s Letting You 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. Ka Chow!
- Sally Carrera: Please, Huh!
- Lightning McQueen: I know, I get that reaction a lot. I create feelings in others that they themselves don't understand.
- Sally Carrera: Ga Ow!
- Lighting McQueen: Oh, I’m Sorry. Did I Scare You?
- Tow Mater: Well, a little bit, but I'll Feen alright?
- Sally Carrera: Okay, I'm gonna go talk to the judge.
- Lightning McQueen: Do what you gotta do, baby? Oh, but listen, Feen careful. Folks around There Are firing on all cylinders, if you know what I mean?
- Tow Mater: [Then we see Mater, who is trying to reflect sunlight on his wing mirror like what McQueen did with his bolt sticker earlier.] Ka-ching! [Then the sunlight goes into his eyes.] [Mater groans]
- Sally Carrera: [to McQueen] I'll keep that in mind. [to Mater] Hey, there, Mater.
- Tow Mater: Howdy, Sally. [Then McQueen's smile turn to frown.]
- Sally Carrera: Hi, folks! [to the other Radiator Springs residents, drives to Doc]
- Folks: Good morning, Sally!
- Lightning McQueen: [to Mater] You know her?
- Tow Mater: She's the town attorney and my fiancée.
- Lightning McQueen: What?
- Mater: Uh, Hockey Cate. She Just Likes Me For My Body.
- 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: Ah Come On, Make That Guy Fix The Road. The Town Needs That.
- Doc Hudson: No! I know his type. Racecar. That's the last thing this town needs.
- Sally Carrera: Okay, I didn't want to have to do this, Doc. But you leave me no choice. [to the other citizens] Fellow citizens, you're all aware of our town's proud history.
- Doc Hudson: There She Goes Again.
- Sally Carrera: Radiator Springs, The Glorious Jewel Strong On The Necklace Of Route 66, Come On Row! It’s A Job And Our Pleasure To Take Care Of The Traffers On Our Stretch Of That Road.
- Sarge: Traffers What Traffers.
- Fillmore: E Know Them.
- Sally Carrera: But How, I Ask You, Are We To Care For Those Traffers If There’s No Road For Them To Drive On? Luigi, How Do You Have At The Store?
- Luigi: Tires.
- Sally Carrera: And if no one can get to you?
- Luigi: I won't sell any.... tires. I will lose everything! [cries]
- Sally Carrera: Flo, what do you have at your store?
- Flo: I Have Gas.
- Sally Carrera: Okay, boys, stay with me. And what'll happen if no one can come to your station to buy gas?
- Flo: I'll Go Out To Business, But A How A To.
- Sally Carrera: And what's gonna happen to all of us if Flo leaves town and closes Her station?
- Folks: Without gas, we're done for!
- Lizzie: What?
- Sally Carrera: So, Don’t You Think The Car Responsible Should Fix Our Road?
- Lizzie: Your Guys Are Gonna Fix That Road Is Bee Gow.
- Ramone: Fizzy, The Guy Left, Like, 6 Years Ago.
- Lizzie: Then why are you bringing him up, you lemon?
- Sally Carrera: Oh, he can do it. He's got the horsepower. So, what do you want him to do?
- Folks: Fix the road!
- Sally Carrera: Because we are a town worth fixing!
- Folks: Yeah! [all cheering]
- Doc Hudson: Order In The Car. Seems like my mind has been changed for me.
- Folks: Yeah!
- Lightning McQueen: Yes!
- Fillmore: Nice ruling.
- Lightning McQueen: Oh, I’m So Just Take You To Dinner.
- Sally Carrera: Ha Ha! That's OK, Stickers. You Can Take Bessie.
- Tow Mater: Oh, man, you got to work with Bessie, I'd give my left 2-Lug Nuts for something like that!
- Lightning McQueen: Bessie? Who's Bessie?
- Doc Hudson: This here is Bessie, finest Road-Paving Machine ever built. [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!
- Tow Mater: [whispers to McQueen] Hey, I know this may be a bad time right now, but uh... you owe me $32,000 in legal fees.
- Lightning McQueen: What?
- Doc Hudson: [to McQueen] So we're gonna hitch you up to sweet Bessie, and you're gonna pull her nice.
- Lightning McQueen: You gotta Feen kidding me!
- 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: Horry Shoot!
- Lightning McQueen: Woah, Woah, Woah! How Long Is Gonna Take?
- Doc Hudson: Well, fella does it right, should take him about 5-days.
- Lightning McQueen: 5-days?! But I should Feen in California schmoozing Dinoco right now!
- Doc Hudson: Then if I were you, I'd quit yapping and start working! Hook him up, Mater.
- Mater: Okey Dokey!
- Lightning McQueen: Freedom!
- Mater: Maybe I should've-a hooked him up to Bessie...and then-a...then took the boot off.
[Then the screen shows McQueen driving away from Radiator Springs, even driving past a billboard saying "Leaving so soon?"]
- Lightning McQueen: WHOOOOOOOO-HOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!! Goodbye, Radiator Springs, and goodbye, Bessie! California, here I come! Yeah! Oh, fell that wind! Yes! [Sheriff but then, he start sputtering.] No No No! Outta gas? How can I Feen outta gas?
- Sheriff: (Laughs) Boy, We Ain’t As Dumb As You Think You Are.
- Lightning McQueen: But How Do You?
- Sally Carrera: We Siphoned Your Gas While You Were Passed Out, Ka Chow!
- Lighting McQueen: Ow Ow Ow Ow!
- Sheriff: (Laughs) Gentlemen.
- Sarge: Sheriff.
- Filmore: Hey, Sheriff.
- Luigi: Why The Tires Are There?
- Guido: I’m Always States Here.
- Luigi: They Were Better Well Before.
- Guido: The Sixlets.
- Luigi: Guido!
- Lizzie: [to Red] Red, can you move over? I want to get look at that sexy hot rod.
- Mater: [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 are with him.] You know, 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 dough. He can fix about anything. That's why we made him the judge. Boy, you 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.
- Lightning McQueen: [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.] [McQuen gasps] Aw, man, that's just great!
- Mater: Hey, What’s Wrong?
- Lightning McQueen: My Lucky Sticker’s All Dirty.
- Mater: [groans] Nah, That ain't nothing, I'll clean it for you! [Mater snorts, and hacks]
- Lightning McQueen: No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no! That won't be necessary. [notices Red the fire truck, who was watering the same flowers at Luigi's store] Hey! Hey, big fella! Yeah, you in the red! [sees McQueen, and stops watering] I could use a little hose down. Help me wash this off. [But Red instead leaves nervously, pushing the flowers away.] What, where's he going?
- Tow Mater: Oh, he's still a little bit shy, and he hates you for killin' his flowers.
- Lightning McQueen: I shouldn't have to put up with this! I'm a precision instrument of speed and aerodynamics!
- Mater: You Heard Him How!
- Lightning McQueen: I’m A Very Famous Race Car.
- Luigi: You A Race Car. And A Race Car.
- Lightning McQueen: Yes, I'm A Race Car. How Do You Know? Look At Him.
- Luigi: We have followed racing my entire life of Our whole life!
- Lightning McQueen: Then you know who I am. I'm Lightning McQueen.
- Luigi: Lightening McQueen!
- Lightning McQueen: YES! YES!
- Luigi: I must scream it to the world! My excitement from the top of someplace very high! Do you know many Ferraris?
- Lightning McQueen: 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.] What?
- Luigi: Luigi follow only the Ferraris.
- Flo: Is that what I think it is?
- Sally Carrera: Customers. Customers! Customers, everyone! Customers! Okay!
- Lizzie: Customers?
- Sally Carrera: [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.] All right, everybody calm down for 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!
- 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.
- Sally Carrera: Hello. Welcome to Radiator Springs, gateway to Ornament Valley. Legendary for it's quality service and friendly hospitality. How can we help you?
- Van: We don't need anything, thank you very much.
- Minny: Woah, Honey Ask Her Direction To The Interstate.
- Van: There's no need to ask for directions. Minny, I know exactly where we're going.
- Minny: I Think The Same Thing On Our Trip To Shakopee. You Know, We Were Headed Over There For The Crazy Days, And We.
- Van: [chuckles] Okay, okay. Really. We're just peachy, okay?
- Filmore: What you really need Is The Sweet Days Of my homemade, organic fuel.
- Van: [chuckles] No, it doesn't agree with my tank.
- Minny: We're just trying to find the Interstate.
- Sarge: Good to see you, Soldier! Come on by Sarge's Surplus Hut for all your government surplus needs.
- Minny: Ohh, honey, surplus!
- Van: I think we have too much surplus.
- Sally Carrera: I Do have a map over the Cozy Cone Motel. 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 V8 Café. Finest fuel on Route 66.
- Van: No, we just top off.
- Luigi: And If You Need Tires, Stop By Luigi's Casa Della Tires, Home Of The Leaning Tower Of Tires.
- 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 New School Pinstripin? Von Dutch Style Ha?
- Minny: Oh, honey, look. Von Dutch.
- Van: [laughs] Okay, no. [chuckles, and starts to drive away along with Minny] We're gonna Feen Going now, okay? [Then Lizzie puts a bumper sticker attached to her tire onto Van's rear bumper. Van grunts and turns around towards Lizzie]
- Lizzie: [laughing] A little somethin' to remember us by, okay?
- Van: [laughs] Okay! [drives away along with Minny]
- Sally Carrera: Come back soon, okay? I mean, you know where we are! [giggles] Tell your friends!
- Van: [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] Okay! 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. No, not really. But listen. I'm Lightning McQueen, the famous racecar. I'm being held heren against my will. [Van then grins as Minny smiles at McQueen.] And I need you to call my team, so they can 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, It's the truth! I'm telling you! You gotta help me! Don't leave me here!! I'm in hillbilly hell!! My IQ's dropping by the second!! I'M BECOMING ONE OF THEM!!!
- Sally Carrera: [Van and Minny disappear as McQueen yells, and "them" is echoed. Sally sighs, and then talks to the other residents] Okay, don't worry. They know where we are now. They're gonna tell their friends. You'll see.
- Radio: And we'll Feen Back For Our Hank Williams marathon...
- Sally Carrera: That's Good.
- Radio: [through the radio] ...after a Piston Cup update. Still no sign of Lightning McQueen. Meanwhile, Chick Hicks arrived in California and today became the first car to spend practice time on the track.
- Chick: [through the radio] Yeah, well it's just nice to get out here before the other competitors. You know, get a headstart. 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, as he overtakes The King. 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. 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. 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. 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 and then we see Mia and Tia pulled towards Chick like a magnet.]
- Chick: Yeah! Hey, McQueen... Eat your heart out.
- Lightning McQueen: [Then McQueen's daydream ends as the screen shows the present day. McQueen gasps] Oh! Mater, let me get this straight. I can go when this road is done. That's the deal, right?
- Tow Mater: That's what they done did said.
- Lightning McQueen: Okay, outta my way. I got a road to finish. [The screen then zooms in on two "End Construction Zone" signs in the distance. 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 whole of are then shocked at seeing him move.]
- Mater: She’s Done!
- Doc Hudson: Done? It’s Only Been An Hour.
- Lightning McQueen: I'm done. Look, I'm finished. Just say thank you, and I'll Feen on my way. That's all I gotta say.
- Tow Mater: [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.] WHOO HOO! I'm the first one on the new road! WHOA-HO! [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, sobs, and drives Away)
- Sally Carrera: Red?
- (Red continues sobbing, and disappears as Red drives around the impound)
- Sally Carrera: We’ll Fick 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: Oh ho! Is that right? Then why don't we just have a little race? Me and you.
- Sally Carrera: What?
- 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'?
- Lightning McQueen: [laughs] I don't mean to Feen 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 whole of 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: 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: Uh [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!
- Sheriff: Gentlemen. Start your engines!
- Ramone: Hijole! Check that out!
- Filmore: Whoa.
- Flo: Emm, emm.
- Sally Carrera: Great idea, Doc. Now the road will never get done.
- 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]
- Doc Hudson: Yee ha! Ha ha ha!
- Sally Carrera: Yeah.
- Luigi: Huh? Doc, The Flag Means Go. Remember The Flag. Here We Go. Go.
- Ramone: Uh Doc, How Are You Doing Man.
- 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.
- Lightning McQueen: [screams] AH, OW, OW, OW, OW, NO, NO, NO, NO, NO, NO, NO!!! [hits the cacti]
- Ramone: Oh, man! Ow!
- 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.
- Mater: E E!
- 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. McQueen gasps and Mater then pulls McQueen out of the cactus.]
- Tow Mater: I'm startin' to think he knowed you was gonna crash!
- Lightning McQueen: Thank You Mater. Thank You. Makel Turn On Dirt. You Think? No. And Now I’m A Day Behind. Never Get Out Of Here.
- Ramone: Hey, ese! You need a new paint job, man!
- Lightning McQueen: No, thank you.
- Fillmore: I Bought Some More Ganic Fuel?
- Sarge: That freak juice?
- Lightning McQueen: Pass.
- Flo: Whoo! Watchin' him working Is Making Her Thirsty. Anybody Else Want Something To Drink?
- Tow Mater: Nah, not me, Flo. I'm on one of them there special diets. I'm a precisional instrument of speed and air-matics.
- Lightning McQueen: I’ll show him! Ah Great! I Hate It! 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 despite 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!!!
- Tow Mater: [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. Then, they all hear Mater, who is heard laughing and cheering.]
- Sally Carrera: Wow! [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! Hey, look at this There fancy new road that Lightnin' McQueen done just made!
- Sally Carrera: Yes! Ahmm. Amazing!
- Ramone: Oo Hoo Hoo Yeah! Ah!
- Flo: Oh, Ramone, Mama ain't seen you that low in years.
- Ramone: We Haven’t Seen A Road Like This Sin News.
- Flo: Well, then let's cruise, baby.
- Ramone: Low & Slow.
- Luigi: It’s Beautiful! Guido, Look, Is It Like Was Paved By Angels. Oh!
- Mater: Oh, I Tell You How. I Bet Even The Road On The Moon Ain’t That Smooth.
- Sally Carrera: Doc, Look At That! Should A Tossed Him Into Past Sooner, Huh?
- Doc Hudson: Well, She Ain’t Finished Yet. Still Gotta Long Way Ago.
- Luigi: Guido, Look At Luigi! That’s Fantastic!
- Sally Carrera: That Looks Like Fun! Mater, I Got Dibs, Next Turn!
- Lizzie: And 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. Well, Now. Where The High Cizzy! Sheriff! Is She Making Another Run For It?
- Sheriff: No No No! She Ran Out Of Asphalt In The Middle Of The Night, Ask You To Come Down Here. All She's Trying To Do Is Make That There Turn.
- Lightning McQueen: No No No! Ah Great! Perfect Turns On Every Track I've Ever Raced On.
- Doc Hudson: Sheriff, Why Do You Go Get Herself A Court Of Oil At Flo's? I'll Keep An Eye On Him.
- Sheriff: Well Thanks Doc! I've Been Feeling On A Court Road.
- Lightning McQueen: Ahhhh!
- 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 Left To Go Right! 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! Turn Left To Right. Hmm... 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 Ow! Turn Left To Go Right. 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!
- Sally Carrera: Oh, Guido, It’s Beautiful!
- Guido: How?
- Sally Carrera: It looks great! This is great!
- 'Guido: You Pleases, Eh? Yes, Yes, Beautiful.
- Mater: Oh, Lord! [Then the sign tilts to the other side. Mater laughs] Huh?
- 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.
- Mater: Yes Sir! Ut!
- Lightning McQueen: While I'm stuck here paving this stinking 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. You come to my shop. Luigi take a good care of you. Even though you not a Ferrari. [to McQueen] You buy four tires, I give you a full size spare absolutely free!
- Lightning McQueen: Look, I get all my tires for free.
- Luigi: [chuckles and gasps] I like your style, Eu? You drive the hard bargain. Okay, 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: Aw... Would you look at that? Ramone, Ramone!
- Ramone: [chuckles]
- Luigi: Then Luigi make you a new deal.
- Lightning McQueen: No, no, no, no. Deal me out. Pass. No, thank you.
- Luigi: No, no, no, no, no. This is it, my last offer. You buy one tire, I give you 7-a snow tire for all free! Done. You interested, you call me. You know where I Am.
- Lightning McQueen: Stop! Let me--! [Then the water stops, as McQueen coughs. 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! NO! Stop! Stop! That cold! Help! Please stop! [Finally, the cactus piece comes off, and Red stops. McQueen coughs and sputters]
- Sally Carrera: Thanks, Red. [Red then leaves.]
- Lightning McQueen: What was that for?!
- Sally Carrera: Do you wanna stay at the Cozy Cone or what?
- Lightning McQueen: Huh?
- Sally Carrera: And if you do, you gotta be clean. 'Cause even here in hillibilly hell we have standards.
- Lightning McQueen: What, I--? I don't get it.
- Sally Carrera: Nothing I just thought I'd say thank you for doing a great job. So I thought I'd let you stay with me. I mean, Just with me! But there. Just with me there, but there in your own Cozy Cone. And I'd Feen 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, thats, thats fine. You know, I understand you criminal types.
- Lightning McQueen: No, no, no, no. That's okay. Yeah, the Cozy Cone.
- Sally Carrera: Eu, it's newly refurbished.
- 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, 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, drives back to the motel] Cone number one, if you want.
- Lightning McQueen: [groans and notices a tattoo on Sally Carrera's back] Hey, do I spy a little pinstriping tattoo back there?
- Sally Carrera: OH! [turns around and giggles, then reverses] That's just a-- [bumps into a pile of cones, with one on her roof] OH! [McQueen and Sally laughing] Oh, You saw that? [giggles] Yeah! 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. The screen then zooms out to show Mater next to them.]
- 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?
- Mater: I don't know. Hey, I know something we can do tonight, 'cause I'm in charge of watching you!
- Lightning McQueen: No, Mater, I gotta finish this road, and I have to get out of here.
- Mater: Well, that's all right, Mr. I Can't Turn On Dirt. You probably couldn't handle it anyway.
- Lightning McQueen: Whoa, whoa, easy now, Mater. You know who you're talking to? This is Lightning McQueen. I can handle anything. Mater, I'm not doing this.
- Mater: Oh come on, you'll love it! (Chuckles) Tracker Making Full.
- Lightning McQueen: [Tractors snoring] This is ridiculous.
- Mater: [to McQueen] Alright, listen, when I say go, we go, but don't let Frank catch you, GO! [drives towards the field]
- Lightning McQueen: Whoa! Whoa, whoa, whoa! Wait, Wait, Wait! W--Wh--Who's Frank? [Mater continues driving, and enters the field. McQueen whispering] Mater! Wait, Mater! [McQueen and the whole team then follow Mater.]
- Mater: Okay, There's How 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. 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]
- 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 living the dream, Mater boy.
- Mater: I don't care who you are, that's funny right there. [to the team, to McQueen] Ah, you turn, bud.
- Lightning McQueen: Mater, I can't. I don't even have a horn.
- Mater: Baby?
- Lightning McQueen: I'm not a baby!
- 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 and Mater, who grins and moves his tire towards the tractor. 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. Tractor 3 wakes up. Then all of the other tractors wake up. Tractors exclaim, and lean up all land on their backs. Then the tractors gurgle as Mater, McQueen and look toward each other. Then the tractors all backfire, one by one. After one second, the last tractor remaining backfires. Then Mater, McQueen laugh. Then an angry moo is heard in the distance as they both stop laughing. The screen then turns to show a bush, and some lights from behind as another moo is heard.]
- Tow Mater: ... That's Frank. [drives away, while our heroes are standing still]
[Then the bushes get shredded as Frank, a combine harvester appears and notices our heroes. Frank bellows angrily]
- Lightning McQueen: [Screams]
[Our non-vehicle heroes run and fly away, while the vehicle heroes rev their engines, turn around and drive away quickly as Frank chases them. Frank bellows. Frank gets closer to McQueen, who then goes faster as he notices. Our heroes 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. Our heroes then turn to the left as Frank continues chasing them. Frank bellowing, Mater laughing. Frank is then seen from his side as he gains on McQueen and the team.] Run, he's gonna get ya! [The screen then shows from our heroes' point of view as they all come towards another end of the field where there was one piece in the fence, and the whole team drive through it. McQueen screams and Frank stops as he comes towards the edge of the field, and McQueen and the whole team stop and then drive away on the road with Mater back to Radiator Springs. Mater laughing]
- Sally Carrera: [Then the screen shows Sally inside the Cozy Cone Motel. Shadows then appear moving on the wall. Sally gasping and notices the shadows] Customers! [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 in the distance driving, walking and fluttering along the road.]
- Tow Mater: Tomorrow night we can go look for the ghost light!
- Lightning McQueen: I can't wait, Mater.
- Tow Mater: Oh, yeah, I'm telling you! [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 team again.] Oh, boy, you gotta admit that was fun!
- Lightning McQueen: Oh, Yeah Yeah.
- Tow Mater: Well, we better get you back to the impound lot.
- Lightning McQueen: You know, actually, Sally's gonna let me stay at the motel.
- Tow Mater: Aw. Getting cozy at the Cone, is we?
- 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 our heroes 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.
- 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!
- Lightning McQueen: Wait... Alright, okay, Mater, Mater, Mater, no! [Mater laughs and noticing Mater driving backwards] Will you stop that?!
- Tow Mater: Stop what?
- Lightning McQueen: That's driving backwards stuff. It's creeping me out. You're gonna wreck on something.
- Tow Mater: [stops moving] Wreck?! Shoot, I'm the world's best backwards driver! You just watch this right here, lover boy. [drives backwards with his lights on, drives towards one of the Cozy Cones]
- Lightning McQueen: What are you doing?! Watch out, Look out! Mater?! [Mater then drives around the cone.] Mater! [Mater laughs as he drives around a few more cones] Mater! [Sally watches as Mater drives around the building. Finally, Mater drives backwards onto the desert ground, stops, and starts spinning.] 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]
- Lightning McQueen: [Laughs] He's nuts!
- Tow Mater: [driving back to McQueen and 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]
- Lightning McQueen: Whoa, that was incredible! How'd you do that?
- Tow Mater: Rear view mirrors. We'll get you some, and I'll teach you if you want.
- 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 talking about the Piston Cup! I've been dreaming 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?
- Lightning McQueen: Well, I don't mean you, Mater. I mean other old cars. You know? Not like you. I like you.
- Tow Mater: Nah, it's okay, buddy. [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 them fancy helicopters.
- Lightning McQueen: Yeah, yeah, yeah, sure, sure.
- Tow Mater: You mean it?
- Lightning McQueen: Oh, yeah. Anything you say.
- Tow Mater: I knew it. I knowed I made a good choice!
- Lightning McQueen: In How?
- Mater: My Best Friend. See you 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: [McQueen laughs. Then the team walk, flutter and drive toward the Cozy Cones, as McQueen tries to go backwards and looks behind.] Whoa, whoa, whoa. [We then see Sally as she watches them all going to their Cozy Cones.] [looks around to find his cone] Number 1, number 1! [finds Cone number one] Oh, Number 1!
[Lightning McQueen looks around as Sally comes to him.] Ah, this is nice.
- Sally Carrera: Hey, Stickers! [McQueen screams and Sally shrieks] I'm sorry!
- Lightning McQueen: [turns around] Whoa! You scared Her, you gotta Feen careful.
- Sally Carrera: I scared myself scaring you scaring Her.
- Lightning McQueen: I mean, I wasn't like "scared" scared.
- Sally Carrera: A Course.
- Lightning McQueen: I was more...
- Sally Carrera: Just I overheard you talking to Mater.
- Lightning McQueen: When? Just, just now? How did, How Do You Heard?
- Sally Carrera: Oh, just something about a helicopter ride.
- Lightning McQueen: Oh, yeah. Yeah, She got a kick out of that, didn't She?
- Sally Carrera: Did you mean it?
- Lightning McQueen: What?
- Sally Carrera: That you'll get Her A ride.
- Lightning McQueen: Oh, who knows? I mean first things first. She’s Gonna Get Out Of There and make the race.
- Sally Carrera: Uh-huh. You know Mater trusts you.
- Lightning McQueen: Yeah, okay.
- Sally Carrera: Did you mean that?
- Lightning McQueen: What?
- Sally Carrera: Was it just a "Yeah, okay", or "Yeah...okay" or"Yea-yeah, okay"?
- Lightning McQueen: Look, I'm exhausted. It's kinda been a long day.
- 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: You know, thanks for letting 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, Sally giggles. Then McQueen presses a button to close the door on the cone.]
[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.]
- Sarge: [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.] Will you turn that disrespectful junk off?!
- Fillmore: Respect the classics, man. It's Hendrix.
[Then the screen shows inside McQueen's cone, where She’s Still sleeping. 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, Chick 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. Then the screen shows back in the present, where McQueen wakes up from his dream.]
- Lightning McQueen: No! [gasping] [Then an alarm beeps as a model car pops in and out of a miniature cone alarm clock.] I gotta get outta here! Hey, have you seen the Sheriff? [The screen shows inside Doc Hudson's building as McQueen and come in, notices Sheriff's rear, as Sheriff is on a ramp up in the air] 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] Wait for him at Flo's, now get outta here.
- Lightning McQueen: I'VE BEEN TRYING TO GET OUTTA HERE FOR 3 DAYS! [McQueen and 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 and the team stop moving as they hear this. McQueen moans. Then the screen shows inside the garage as McQueen opens the doors, and he and the whole of enter. McQueen notices 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 our heroes notice something near the window. They turn towards it, and it turns out to be a Piston Cup trophy. They look up to see that the text on the bottom says "Hudson Hornet, Champion, 1951".] What? He has a Piston Cup? [Then they look to see another Piston Cup trophy behind a few boxes. They push the boxes aside, and see a third trophy as well along with four old racing tires with red hubcaps.] Oh, my gosh. Three Piston Cup? [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 gasps upon hearing Doc's voice]
- Lightning McQueen: [They all reverse and see Doc standing grumpily outside the door.]You, You've 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 our heroes outside]
- Lightning McQueen: You're the Hudson Hornet!
- Doc Hudson: Wait over at Flo's, like I told you!!
- 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]
- Fillmore: You know, some automotive yoga could really lower your RPM's, man.
- Sarge: Oh, take a car wash, hippie.
- Flo: Yeah, look at my husband, y'all. WHOO! That's your color!
- Ramone: Yellow, baby. [chuckles]
- Flo: Mm! You smoking hot!
- Sheriff: There’s Lightning!
- Lightning McQueen: Oh My Gosh! Did you know Doc is a famous race-car?!
- Folks: [All of the residents stay silent for a few seconds, then all of them 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 no, it's true! 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?
- Lightning McQueen: No, but I wish I could have of... They say She was amazing, She wins three Piston Cups!
- Tow Mater: [spits out on his drink] He did what in his cup?!
- Sheriff: I think the heat's starting to get to the boy!
- Lizzie: Well, I'll say! Look how red Lightning is! [McQueen frowns]
- Ramone: Yeah, I think She needs a new coat of poly, man.
- Tow Mater: Are ya sick, buddy?
- Sheriff: You are looking a little peaked.
- Ramone: Yeah, he needs a new coat of poly for sure!
[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: Hey-Hey! How are you doing?!
- Sally Carrera: It's okay, Sheriff. You can trust me, right?
- Sheriff: I trust you, all right. It's him I'm worried about.
- Sally Carrera: Mm... I trust him. [to McQueen] Come on, let's take a drive.
- Lightning McQueen: A drive?
- Sally Carrera: Yeah, a drive. Don't you big city race cars ever just take a drive?
- Lightning McQueen: Uh, No. No, we don't.
- Sally Carrera: Hey, Stickers! Do you Coming Or How?
- Flo: [Sally and the whole of then fly and chuff the other way out of town toward the courthouse. McQueen then turns around and follows them.] 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 race-car! [Laughing] That's so too much! [We then see Doc inside his garage looking outside the window, now feeling sad.]
- Lightning McQueen: [The screen shows McQueen and the whole of catching up with Sally after they go past Radiator Cap Mountain, to Sally] Okay, you got me out here. Where are we going?
- Sally Carrera: I don't know. [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. McQueen and eventually catch her up as they come towards a puddle across the road. The water splashed by Sally goes onto McQueen. McQueen sputters and shakes the water off. Sally giggles. Sally then comes across another puddle. McQueen and our heroes dodge the water splashed by her. McQueen laughs. Suddenly, some mud hits McQueen. McQueen groans and Sally giggles. Then McQueen come towards a pile of leaves on one side of the road. He hits it, and gets leaves covered over him. McQueen groans and Sally giggles, much to his anger. 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 giggles. McQueen laughs, then notices the bugs on his teeth. Gasps and spits them off. 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.]
- Lightning McQueen: Wow! What is this place?
- Sally Carrera: Wheel Well. Used to be the most popular stop on the mother road.
- Lightning McQueen: [Our heroes then see a few gas pumps, and then look at some old cans and parts with flies flying and crawling.] This place? [The screen shows a closeup of the flies buzzing around and crawling. The car-ified bugs beep their horns. The camera then zooms out.]
- Sally Carrera: [sighs] Yeah, imagine...Oh, imagine what it must have been like to stay here.
- 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 living life in the fast lane, and.
- Lightning McQueen: Ah, you were, were you? Were you rich?
- Sally Carrera: What?
- Lightning McQueen: Just... clues to the puzzle.
- Sally Carrera: Yeah, okay. Well, that was Her life. And you know How? It never felt...happy.
- Lightning McQueen: Yeah. I mean...really?
- Sally Carrera: [Then, Sally Carrera sings her version of the song "What More Is Out There" to McQueen and explaining her contemplating her place at LA, living life in the fast lane and also lamenting that she feels trapped at California with all the other rich cars and cannot find somewhere she truly belongs. While all our heroes listen to Sally, McQueen sings to himself in his mind about his racing life in the past and now in the present but now realizes somehow he's lacking and missing something very important in his life, but he couldn't figure out what it is.] Yeah. So I 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 & R. Recharge and old batteries. But you know, after a while, why didn't you go back?
- Sally Carrera: [Inhales deeply] I fell in love.
- Lightning McQueen: Oh.
- Sally Carrera: Yep.
- Lightning McQueen: Corvette?
- Sally Carrera: No. I fell in love with That.
- 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 driving right by. They don't even know what they're missing! ["Our Town" starts to play.]
- Sally Carrera: Well, it didn't used to Feen that way.
- Lightning McQueen: Oh, yeah?
- Sally Carrera: Yeah. 40 years ago, that Interstate down there didn't exist.
- Lightning McQueen: [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: [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 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.]
- Folk: Mornin'! Nice day, huh?
- Sally Carrera: [narrating] Cars didn't drive on it to make a 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 Handbrakes 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 whole.]
Long ago, but not so very long ago
The world was different, oh yes, it was
You settled down and you built a town and made it live
And you watched it grow, it was your town
- Lightning McQueen: Well, what happened?
- Sally Carrera: The town got bypassed just to save ten minutes of driving.
[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 whole of there.]
Time goes by, time brings changes, you changed too
Nothing comes that you can't handle, so on you go
You never see it coming when the world caves in on you
On your town, nothing you can do
Main street isn't main street anymore
Lights don't shine as brightly as they shone before
To tell the truth, lights don't shine at all
In our town
Sun comes up each morning, just like it's always done
Get up, go to work, start a new day
You open up for business that's never going to come
As the world rolls by a million miles away
Main street isn't main street anymore
No one seems to need us like they did before
It's hard to find a reason left to stay
But it's our town, love it anyway
Come what may, it's our town
- Lightning McQueen: How great would it have been to see this place in its heyday!
- 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.
- Lightning McQueen: Yeah. [to Sally] Hey, listen, thanks for the drive. I had a great time. It's kinda nice to slow down every once in a while.
- Sally Carrera: You're welcome.
- Mater: Hey, listen, listen! If anybody asks you, we was out smashin' mailboxes, okay?! [drives away]
- Lightning McQueen: [chuckling] Wha... What?
[Suddenly, they hear a rumble. 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 mooing. McQueen and the whole team 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]
- Ramone: Oh, man, the paint's still wet!
- 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 whole of 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!
- Tow Mater: I wasn't tractor-tippin'!
- Sheriff: THEN WHERE DID ALL THESE GOL-DURN TRACTORS COME FROM?!
- Fillmore: [McQueen laughs, exclaiming] WHOA, BOY! WHOA!
- Lightning McQueen: [noticing a tractor driving away from the town] Hey! Hey, guys, There's one going this way! [pause] I got it! [McQueen and the whole team then follow the tractor, who is driving towards Willy's Butte.] Come here, little tractor, come here. [The tractor then stops.] Yeah, that's a good tractor. [But the tractor then moves away.] No, no, no, no, come here. [But the tractor just drives away.] What are you doing? You're not supposed to go wandering off all--[notices Doc Hudson on the track]--alone. [Then the whole of all notice Doc on the track, as well. 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. McQueen noticing that Doc has his racing tires on] What are you doing with those old racing 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 sighs heavily] [McQueen whispering] Come on, Doc, drive. [Doc looks towards the end of the track, then revs his engine. McQueen and 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. 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. 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: [sighs heavily] Yeah.
- Lightning McQueen: [McQueen and the whole team come toward Doc.] Wow! [noticing our heroes] You're amazing! [But Doc just angrily drives away. McQueen coughs from the dust] What are you doing? Doc, wait! [McQueen and the whole of 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 mooing. Mater hitting the back tractor with his hook]
- Tow Mater: Giddy-up right in there! Come on, Rusty. WHEE-HE!
- Lightning McQueen: [McQueen and the whole of eventually catch up with Doc as he drives into his garage.] Doc, hold it! Seriously, your driving's incredible!
- 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!
- Doc Hudson: I'm asking you to leave.
- Lightning McQueen: Come on. I'm a race car, you're a much older race car, but under the hood you and I are the same.
- Doc Hudson: We are not the same! Understand? Now, get out. [drives out of his garage]
- 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.
- Doc Hudson: They quit on me, when I finally got put together, I went back expecting a big welcome, you 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 find me here.
- Lightning McQueen: Hey, look, Doc, I'm not 'em.
- 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.] Uh-huh? I didn't think so. [to McQueen, who then feels ashamed again] 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.] Who's caring about only himself?
- Doc Hudson: Just finish that road and get outta There!
- Sarge: Will you turn that disrespectful junk off?!
- Fillmore: Respect the classics, man.
- Mater: She’s Done. She Must Finished It While They’re All Sleeping.
- Doc Hudson: Good riddance.
- Flo: She’s Gone?
- Sarge: Well, we wouldn't want him to miss that race It Is.
- 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 whole of show up after just coming back through the portal.]
- Lightning McQueen: What's wrong with Red?
- Tow Mater: [not realizing who he's talking to] Oh, he's just sad 'cause you left town, and went to your big race to win the Piston Cup that you've always dreamed about yer whole life and get that big ol' sponsor and that fancy helicopter you was talking 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 laugh, smacks McQueen with his tire] I knowed you wouldn't leave without saying goodbye.
- Lightning McQueen: [chuckles]
- Sheriff: What are you doing here, son? You're gonna miss your race. [turns on his emergency lighting] Don't worry. I'll give you a police escort, and we'll make up the time.
- Lightning McQueen: Thank you, Sheriff. But you know I can't go just yet.
- Sheriff: Well, why not?
- Lightning McQueen: I'm not sure these tires... [Luigi gasps excitedly] ...can get me all the way to California. [Guido: Pit stop?!] Yeah, does anybody know what time Luigi's opens?
- Luigi: [laughing] I can't-a believe it!
[The screen then shows the residents and outside Luigi's Casa Della Tires, watching Luigi and Guido with McQueen.]
- Luigi: Four new tires! Grazien, Mr. Lightning. [gives a hug] Grazien!
- Flo: [Sally then arrives, feeling glad as she sees McQueen.] Would you look at that!
- Luigi: Our first real customers in years! I am filled with tears of ecstasy, [While Luigi is talking, McQueen winks to and Sally, who is then shown smiling. Doc then appears, starting to feel angry hen he sees McQueen.] for this is the most glorious day of my life!
- Lightning McQueen: Alright, Luigi, Give You The Best Set Of Black Walls 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] Black wall tires. They blend into the pavement. But-a this: [presses a button to pull the curtain, showing whitewall tires] "White-Wall Tires"! They say, "Look at me! Here I am! Love me."
- Lightning McQueen: Alright, you're the expert.
- Luigi: [chuckles and Doc snarls 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 whir. 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.]
- Well if you ever plan to motor west Just take my way, that's the highway that's the best
- Luigi: [chuckling] What did Luigi tell you, Huh?
- Lightning McQueen: Wow, you were right! Better than a Ferrari, huh?
- Luigi: [frowns] Eh, no.
- Get your kicks on Route 66
- Lightning McQueen: [McQueen then frowns, and then the screen shows him and the whole team with Fillmore at the Taste-Inn, drinking some organic fuel.] 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 feeding us a bunch of lies, man!
- Lightning McQueen: Okay, I'll take a case.
- Well it goes from St Louis, Joplin, Missouri Oklahoma City looks ooh, so pretty You'll see Amarillo and Gallup, New Mexico Flagstaff, Arizona don't forget Winona Kingsman, Barstaw, San Bernadino
[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 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 looking at it with Lizzie. It then shows some bumper stickers and other souvenirs. Lizzie is then shown putting some onto McQueen. McQueen 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 sighs. As Ramone does a shade on a lightning bolt shape. The screen then shows the other townsfolk outside at sunset. Mater noticing Sally]
Would you get hip to this kindly tip?
Oh, Yeah.

- Tow Mater: Here she comes!
- Lightning McQueen: Okay, places, everybody. Hurry! Act natural.
- Folks: [Red whistles as Sally arrives] Hi, Sally!
- Sally Carrera: All right, what's going on?
- Tow Mater: Ladies and gentle cars, please welcome the new: Lightnin' 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: [giggles] I'll say. [purrs as McQueen continues revving his engine] Ka-chow. You're gonna fit right in in California. Oh, my goodness, it looks like you've 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?

- Tow Mater: [to Mater] Hey, "Miss Sally." May I have this cruise?
- Sally Carrera: Of course, Mater.
- Sheriff: [stopping them] A-A-Ah!
[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 a line of tractors then drive across, mooing.]
- Lizzie: ...and again and I said, "no," and She asked Her again, and I said, "no..." [Sally giggles as she notices McQueen stepping sideways while with Lizzie] ...but, oh, he was a persistent little burger for a two-cylinder... [continues driving, while McQueen stops and turns around] ...finally I said, "alright, one Big Drive.

- Bob Cutlass: [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.] 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 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 laps, 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: 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. Wow! 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 Emery ville'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.]

- Mack: Hey, Lightning! Are 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.] Mack, thanks for being my pit crew today.
- Mack: Na. Don't worry about it, kid. It's the least You could do. After all, "Gas Can" is my middle name.
- Lightning McQueen: It is?
- Mack: Nahh, not really.
[The Alpha numeros 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.]
- Small Airplane: Uh Oh!
- TV Crew: 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: Wearing whitewall tires, of all things.
- Chick: Ka-chicka, Ka-chicka, Ka-chicka! [laughs] Hey, where you been? I've been kinda lonely. Nobody to hang out with. I mean, except the Dinoco folks. Aw, and the twins. A course. You know the twins the one that used to Feen 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 then of and the rest of offering to teach him about the ways of friendship at the on. 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: [Gasps] Shoot! [gets on his way]
- Darrell Cartrip: Boogity, boogity, boogity, boys! Let's go racing!
[The screen shows the three race cars 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: Come on kid, 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 looking to the inside! [But then, Chick goes right in front of McQueen, causing him to brake.] Oh, Chick slammed the door on him!
- Bob Cutlass: Chick's not making it easy on him today.
- Darrell Cartrip: Oh, man, She lost so much momentum, and now She's gonna have to chase Her back down!
- Bob Cutlass: OH!!! McQueen spins out in the infield!
[Mia and Tia gasp along with the crowd. McQueen then comes to a stop on the infield.]
- Chick: Ha Ha! Just me and the old man, fellas. McQueen just doesn't have it today.
[Chick Hicks' Pit Crew all laugh. McQueen groans and drives back onto the track]
- Chief Chick and Roger Wheeler: [through the radio] Hey, kid, are you alright?
- Lightning McQueen: You don't know, Mack. We don't think I-
- Chief Chick: [through the radio] I didn't come all this way to see you quit.
[McQueen then looks to see Doc, the rest of the whole of and most of the Radiator Springs residents in his pit. Ramone has had a new paint job, being red with McQueen's bolt and the are shown wearing cheerleader outfits and holding pom-poms, while Doc has his original racing paint job and tires and a headset, which and also had to contact with McQueen on his radio.]
- Lightning McQueen: Doc?
- Guys: [everyone cheers]
- Lightning McQueen: Guys, you're here! We can't believe this!
- Doc Hudson: We knew you needed a crew chief, but We didn't know it was this bad.
- Lightning McQueen: You thought you said you'd never come back.
- Doc Hudson: Well, We really didn't have a choice. Mater didn't get to say goodbye.
- Tow Mater: Goodbye! Okay, I'm good.
- Lightning McQueen: [chuckles]
- Doc Hudson: [McQueen then comes to the pits, as Mater holds the sign, which has Radiator Springs' logo on it. Fillmore and Sarge refuel McQueen, to McQueen] Alright, if you can drive as good as you fix a road, then you can win this race with you eyes shut. Now, get back out there! [McQueen then drives back out through the pit lane.] Hot snot, we are back in business! Guido! Luigi! You're goin' up against professional pit crews boys, you're gonna have to be fast.
- Luigi: They know what bit them!
Chief Chick: [to McQueen] Kid, [through the radio] 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.]
- Chick's Crew: Is that? Oh, wow. That's him!
- TV Crew: 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 She has for a crew chief! [All of the cameramen turn their cameras to show Doc, and the crowd then notices him.]
- Larry: Whoa! Look, man. It's the Hudson Hornet!
- Albert Hinkey: Whoa!
- 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, That’s History In The Making. Nobody Has Seen The Racing Legend In Over Eight Years!
- Lizzie: Oh, They’ll Never Get There.
- Bob Cutlass: McQueen passes them on the inside!
- Darrell Cartrip: Cause She's still nearly a lap down!
- Bob Cutlass: Can She catch up to them with only 60 laps to go?!
- Doc Hudson: You're going great, kid. Just keep your head on.
- Guido: We De De.
- Chick's crew: Hey, shrimpie, where did McQueen find you, huh? Those round things are called tires, and they go UNDER THE CAR!
- All Chick's Crew: [laughing]
- 'Guido: With Who Believe Of Speak! But, With Who You’re Speaking?
- Luigi: No, no, no! You'll have your chance, you'll have your chance.
- Chick: Oh, kid's just trying to Feen a hero, huh? Well, How 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.] What?!
- Tow Mater: Whoa! GitRDone! [McQueen winks, and turns back around. Mater laughs] I taught him that. [poses to Chick's pit crew] KA CHOW!
- Chick's Crew: [getting their eyes hit by the sunlight reflecting off Mater's wing mirror] AH!!!
- Bob Cutlass: What a move by McQueen, She's caught up to the leaders?
- Darrell Cartrip: Oh, yeah. This is How it's all about. A 3-way battle for the lead, with 10 to go!
- Tex: [chortles] Look at that boy go out there!
- Chick: [Chick then tries to get past McQueen, but gets blocked on several attempts. Chick gasps and grunts, before coming up beside McQueen]...No You don't!
- 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: Hey, Got A Yellow. Bring It In. Don’t Tear Yourself Up, Kid.
- Mack: We Gotta Get Her Back Out There Fast & We’re Gonna Feen A Lap Down, And We’ll Never Win That Race!
- Doc Hudson: Guido, It’s Time.
- Chick Crew: Hey, tiny, you gonna clean Her windshield?! [everyone laughing]
[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 pities' grilles, except the one of Wide Chick Pity, 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 She's still gotta beat that pace car out!
- Bob Cutlass: It's gonna Feen close!
[McQueen manages to get back in front of Charlie. His pit crew and then cheer.]
- Tow Mater: Yeah!
- Biggest Fan: [All of the crowd holler.] Yeah, baby!
- Fans: Yeah! [laughing]
- Darrell Cartrip: Yeah! She’s back in the race!
- Guido: [blows his wheel gun] Pit-Stop.
[Then Wide Chick Pitty's grill falls off. All of McQueen's pit crew and then cheer for Guido.]
- Luigi: Guido, you did it!
- Mater: Wait Ago Guido!
- Ramone: Yeah!
- 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!
- Chief Chick: This is it, kiddo. [through the radio to McQueen] You've got 4 turns left, 1 at a time. Drive it in deep and hope it sticks...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: 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.] Chick and The King are loose!
- Darrell Cartrip: We 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.] McQueen saved it!
- Bob Cutlass: She’s back on the track!
- Doc Hudson: Float like a Cadillac...
- Lightning McQueen: Sting like a Beemer!
- Albert Hinkey: Ka-chow, ka-chow, ka-chow!
- Fans: Wow!

- Chick: Argh! We’re Coming In Behind You Again, New Woman.
- Lynda Weathers: Oh, no.
- Chick: Yeah! Whoo-hoo! She won, baby! Yeah! Oh, yeah!
- Flo: What's She up to, Doc?
- The King: 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: Aw, this grumpy old racecar I know once told me something. It's just an empty cup.
- Bob Cutlass: Darrell, is pushing on the last lap legal?
- Darrell Cartrip: Hey, man. She’s really pushing Her. She’s Just Giving Her A Small Bump Draft.
- Chick: [still cheering] Whoa HoHoHoHo! [stops spinning upon noticing something] Hey! What?! What's going on?!
- R.M.: That's what I call racing right there.
- Tex: [laughing]
- Luigi: Good Boy The Your Friend!
- Tow Mater: Way to go, buddy!
- Fillmore: There's A Lot Of love out there, you know, man?
- Sarge: Don't embarrass me, Filmore.
- Lizzie: That's my hot rod.

Ka-Chicka, Ka-Chicka, Ka-Chicka!
- Cameramen: Shoot!
- Mia & Tia: Shoot!
- Chick: What's wrong with everybody? [gets hit by a tire] Ow! 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]
- R.M.: Way to go, King! You're still the car!
- Albert Hinkey: You're The King! Yeah!
- Rust-eze Folks: [The crowd then cheers, before McQueen comes back to the Rust-eze team and who are laughing and cheering.]
- Rusty: You make us proud, kid!
- Mack: Congrats on the loss, me bucko!
- Doc Hudson: You got a lotta of stuff, kid.
- Lightning McQueen: Thanks, Doc.
- Tex: Hey, Lightning. How about coming over here and talk to me a minute? Son, that was some real racin' 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 You didn't win.
- Tex: Lightning, there's a whole lot more to racing than just winning.
- Dusty: He was so rusty, when he drove down the street buzzards used to circle the car!
- Folks: [laughs]
- Lightning McQueen: [looking towards them] Thank, you, Mr. Tex, but these Rust-eze guys over there gave me my big break. I'm gonna stick with them.
- Tex: Well, You sure can respect that. Still, you know, if there's ever anything You can do for you, just let Us know.
- Lightning McQueen: You sure appreciate that, thank you... Actually, there's 1 thing...
- Tow Mater: [riding in Rotor Turbosky, Dinoco is 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! [Then the screen shows Luigi and Guido looking at their tire shelves in their store.]
- Luigi: We Think It’s About A Time We Redecorate.
- Michael Schumacher: [arriving with Antonio Veloce Eccellente and Costanzo Della Corsa] CHOW! Hi, Lightning McQueen told me this was the best place in the world to get tires. How about 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: Woah, Spido That The Your Friend Yes Resume. Me They Say That You’re Fantastic.
[Guido faints as well. Then the screen shows the Wheel Well, and moves to show Sally looking at it, Sally sighing. Then she hears the sound of an McQueen engine revs, Sally gasping and turns to see McQueen appearing with a new paint job and also the whole of and they Sally giggles and McQueen laughs]
- Sally Carrera: Just passing through?
- Lightning McQueen: Actually, We thought I'd stop and stay awhile, We Hear That Place Is Back On The Map.
- Sally Carrera: Is It?
- 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? Well, there goes the town.
- Lightning McQueen: You know, We really missed you, Sally.
- Sally Carrera: Well, You create feelings in others they themselves don't understand and, blah, blah, blah, blah.
- Lightning McQueen: [chuckles as they move slowly toward each other, Mater)
- Mater: McQueen and Sally parked beneath the tree, K-i-s-s... auuu... i-n-t!
- Lightning McQueen: Great timing, Mater!
- Mater: [as Rotor flies away] Hepnon, hiphep, hilililly! Wheeeeeee!!
- Lightning McQueen: [to Sally] He's my best friend. What're you gonna do?
- Sally Carrera: So, Stickers. Last 1 to Flo's buys?
- Lightning McQueen: We don't know. Why don't we just take a drive?
- Sally Carrera: Hmm, nah. [quickly drives away]
- Lightning McQueen: Yeah, KaChow. [follows Sally and as they race each other, while John Mayer's version of "Route 66" plays, with Mater yelling while riding in Rotor.]
- Mater: Wheee!
[The screen shows as 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 sniffs and sneezes. The camera then shows the Glenrio Motel being changed to the Racing Museum, as Mater, guide Junior, the King and Lynda inside.]

- Tow 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]
- Junior: Whoa. 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?
- Tow Mater: Sorry, Mrs. The King, I think Doc went out for a drive or something.
[The camera then moves over as it shows McQueen racing with and Doc.]
- Lightning McQueen: Whoo! Whoo!
- Doc Hudson: Yeah! Well, you sure ain't no dirt boy.
- Lightning McQueen: Not today, old man. I know all your tricks. [Doc growls and turns towards the cliff. McQueen stop and look down the edge, thinking Doc fell in a cactus patch.] Doc! Doc!
- Doc Hudson: [But Doc did not wind up in a cactus patch because he is seen jumping back to the ground level McQueen are on.] Whoo-ah! Not all my tricks, rookie!
[Then the camera shows a close-up of Bessie blowing a bubble of tar, which 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 and Sally reopening the Wheel Well Motel, which everyone, including Mater, Luigi, Michael Schumacher, Costanzo, Lizzie, Ramone, Flo, Fillmore, Sheriff, Sarge, the whole of and several visitors, all cheer. Then the screen shows a sign saying "Sarge's SUV Boot camp", 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, 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.] 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] Go Go Go Go Go Go Go Go!
- T.J. Hummer: [driving on the dirt] Man, now I got dirt in my rims!
- Tow Mater: [Then the screen shows Mater fishing items from a valley. His hook hits something metal.] Huh? [to McQueen] 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? [As Mater sneezes, his hood falls off and back into the valley] Nah, dang.
[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 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 Car: YOU ARE A TOY CAAAAAAAAR!!!

- Mack: Wait a minute here. They're just using the same actor over and over. What kind cut rate production is this?!
[The screen fades as the epilogue ends. The actual 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.]
When you find yourself
In some far off place
And it causes you
To rethink some things
You start to sense
That slowly you're becoming someone else
And then you find yourself
When you make new friends
In a brand new town
And you start to think
About settling down
The things that would have been lost on you
Are now clear as a bell
And you find yourself
That's when you find yourself
When you go through life
So sure of where you're heading
And you wind up lost
And it's the best thing that could have happened
'Cause sometimes when you lose your way
It's really just as well
Because you find yourself
Yeah, that's when you find yourself
- 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.] Ah ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha oh!
