Mater, we got to get that bomb off of you.
M Mater
Yeah, they strapped it to me to kill you as a back-up plan.
Back-up plan? Mater, who put a bomb on you?
[tied up]
You! Why my death ray didn't kill you?!
Turn off the bomb, Zündapp!
Are you all so dense? It's voice-activated. Everything is voice-activated these days.
M Mater
Deactivate! Deactivate!
BC Bomb Computer
Voice denied. [a bomb starts a countdown mechanism from 4:59 to 4:58 to 4:57; Mater gasps in shock.]
Oops. Did I forget to mention that it can only be disarmed by the one who activated it?
[shoves her stun gun]
Say it.
BC Bomb Computer
Voice denied. [the bomb lowers down from 4:48 to 3:48 to 3:47; Mater gasps.]
Oh. I'm not the one who activated it. Would anyone else like to try? [Shiftwell zaps him]
He was getting on my nerves.
V Victor
It’s very simple. You blow up.
I’m going out on a limb here. These are the guys that want me dead, correct?
M Mater
Fellers, listen. I know what you’re going through. Everybody's been laughing at me my whole life too. [the Lemons seem to take this in] But becoming powerful and rich beyond your wildest dreams ain't gonna make you feel better.
Yeah, but it’s worth a shot!
[Suddenly, from behind them, Red shoots water at the Gremlins, with Sally joining him, causing them to overturn and flip, with J. Curby landing on his front behind a metal fence. Finn uses his grappling hooks to move up into the air and pull four lemons towards each other, while Holley uses her wings to carry two other thugs and make them hit a few others. Two of the lemons try to take part, but then Guido takes off their tires]
[Flo also arrives, shining her headlights into Vladimir's eyes, making enough time for Sheriff to put a parking boot on Vladimir's left rear tire]
Not today, boys!
[Vladimir tries to move, but gives up when he is unable to move with the parking boot on. Guido then moves away another thug, yelling in Italian. Ivan tries to ram into McQueen, but Mater defends, punching him away as well as a couple more of the lemons and human thugs, and yells as he uses his tow hook to throw Tubbs Pacer towards Ramone, who sprays paint over his eyes. He then sees Finn, Mater, McQueen, Holley, and the other Radiator Springs residents are all watching angrily at him and the other lemons]
Retreat! [flees along with the remaining thugs, but immediately finds Sarge and the army confronting them]
Thanks for the help, Corporal.
MC Military Car
Anything for one of Pop's mates.
[Guido tries to remove the bolts off the bomb, but none of them work. He rants angrily in Italian and drives off.]
What’s he saying? What’s wrong?
None of his wrenches fit the bolts!
M Mater
I get it. I get it! I know what needs to be done.
M Mater
What? No, I can’t do it. Look, nobody takes me seriously. I know that now. This ain’t Radiator Springs.
Yes, it is. Be yourself in Radiator Springs. Be yourself here. And if-if people aren't taking you seriously, then they need to change, not you. I know that because I was wrong before. Now, you can do this. You're the bomb.
No, no, no, you're the actual bomb. Now let's go!
M Mater
Oh, right! Hang on! [hooks up to McQueen, and drives off]
M Mater
[as he drives through the traffic]
Computer!
Mater's Computer Yes, Agent Mater?
M Mater
I need that thing you done before to get me away from McQueen!
Mater's Computer Request acknowledged. [brings out Mater's rockets and activates him]
M Mater
Now I need you to do shoot! The second kind, not the first!
MS Mater’s Computer
Deploying chute. [brings out the chute; Mater and McQueen soar up in the sky]
M Mater
Finn, you’re okay!
Listen to me. The bomb is on you! They knew you'd try to help McQueen. When we were knocked out, they planted it your air filter!
M Mater
[blows air filter cover off and sees the bomb on his air filter, and looks at Allinol]
Uh-oh.
M Mater
[alarmed]
Stop right there!
Oh, man, I've been so worried about you!
M Mater
Don't come any closer!
M Mater
No, I'm not okay! Stay away from me!
Hold everything. A tow truck has just raced onto the track, and he's driving backwards!
Normally, an emergency vehicle on the track means there's been an accident.
Wait, wait. Lightning McQueen is chasing him!
M Mater
Stay back! If you get close to me, you're gonna get hurt real bad!
I know I made you feel that way before, but none of that matters! Because we're best friends!
And McQueen seems to be having a conversation with a tow truck.
I don’t know who that truck is Brent. But I’ll tell you what, he’s got to be the world's best backwards driver! [Prof. Z chuckles]
M Mater
McQueen, you don’t get it! I'm the bomb!
Yes, Mater! You are the bomb! That’s what I’m trying to say here! You’ve always been the bomb! And you’ll always be the bomb!
[his tire is almost at the detonation button]
Almost there.
I'm not... letting you... GET AWAY AGAIN!!! [grabs Mater's tow cable]
M Mater
Got to keep away from McQueen!
Computer Request acknowledged.
[suddenly frightened by the rockets]
Oh, my gosh!
[Mater rockets off at a tremendous speed, dragging McQueen with him.]
So, Mater, it's voice-activated. But you know, everything's voice-activated these days.
M Mater
What? I thought you's supposed to be making me a disguise!
Mater's Computer Voice recognized, disguise program initiated. [uses a hologram to make Mater look like Ivan, an evil tow truck]
M Mater
Ha ha. Cool! Hey, Computer. Make me a German truck.
Mater's Computer Request acknowledged. [Mater wears a funny German costume with a green hat]
M Mater
Check it out! I'm wearing Materhosen! Make me a monster truck!
Mater's Computer Request acknowledged. [Mater wears a vampire costume]
M Mater
What the? [Transylvanian accent] Ha-ha-ha-ha. I vant to siphon your gas! [normal accent] Ha, ha! Now make me a taco truck!
Mater's Computer Request acknowledged. [Mater becomes a white taco truck, and his horn plays "La Cucaracha"]
Mater's Computer Request acknowledged. [Mater becomes painted yellow with red flames, hot rod exhaust pipes, a hot rod engine, and a spoiler. Mater revs his engine a few times, enjoying the disguise, until Finn turns it off]
The idea is to keep a low profile, Mater.
[Grem pushes the emitter's lever to 75% power, and aims it at Shu Todoroki]
No!
[Suddenly, Shu Todoroki's engine explodes due to the weapon]
Oh, number 7 is loose! Shu Todoroki!
[Miguel Camino tries to brake, but crashes into Todoroki. Then, Max Schnell tries to brake, but crashes into the two. After that, Raoul ÇaRoule and Rip Clutchgoneski try to brake, but they also crash into the three. Jeff Gorvette and Lewis Hamilton brake just in time, leaving them as the only survivors. Holley watches in shock.] [Gasps after spotting Finn taken away by the helicopter]
Finn?
Bumper to bumper as they approach the finish line! McQueen's the winner! Francesco’s second! They have no idea what happened behind them.
That’s what I’m talking about! Ka-chow! [Ambulances sirens] Wh- What happened? Where are all the other cars?
[They look at car crashes on the TV screens]
Oh, no!
[A chopper is then seen rushing towards the scene, as the press surrounds Axlerod] [on TV]
Sir Axlerod, is the final race in London still going to take place?
[on TV]
I suppose that... [sighs] Look, the show must go on, as they say. But now is not the time to talk about...
I can't believe this is really happening!
[on TV]
And allinol? Will you require all the racers to still run on allinol?
[chuckles]
Here it comes!
[on TV]
I cannot, in good conscience, continue to risk the lives of any more race cars. The final race will not be run on allinol.
L Lemons
[cheering]
Ah-ha-ha! Ha-ha! [continue cheering]
[on TV, to the TV viewers]
There you have it, a clearly devastated Sir Miles Axlerod announcing that he will not require the cars to use allinol for the final race.
[as casino staff pop lemonade corks]
A toast! To the death of allinol and alternative fuel forever!
[rushing away from the casino]
Mater, abort the mission! They've got Finn. Get out of there. Get out of there right now!
I Ivan
[Suddenly, she stops after turning a corner revealing several angry black Hugos in front of her; she gasps] [appearing behind Holley]
How is your grandfather?
AC All cars
[The camera shows the lemons inside the casino are cheering, while Mater, who is now all on his own, is about to leave.] [chanting]
Long live lemons!
A Alex
Isn’t this a great party, Ivan, huh?
M Mater
Oh yeah, it’s unbelievable.
A Alex
You’re not leaving, are you?
M Mater
Uh, of course I’m not leaving.
[on TV]
Just in shock like everybody...
[on TV]
Crashes are a part of racing, I know, but something like that should never happen.
[on TV]
They're letting you choose your fuel for the final race. Do you have any idea what it's gonna be?
L Lemons
[all gasp]
What?!
Did he just say Allinol?!
[on TV]
My friend Fillmore says the fuel's safe. That's good enough for me. I didn't stand by a friend of mine recently. I'm not gonna make the same mistake twice.
[on TV]
So a surprising revelation from Lightning McQueen. He will use allinol in the final race, despite what occurred today.
[listening to the mastermind on the telephone]
Yes, sir.
[indistinctly]
...Till Lightning McQueen is dead!
Of course. [to his fellow Lemons] Allinol must be finished for good. McQueen cannot win the last race. Lightning McQueen must be killed!
M Mater
No! [quickly backs up and the emergency light gets bashed by one of the televisions. The bash causes the device to malfunction, as the disguise changes into taco truck form, with his horn playing "La Cucaracha" as several tacos fall out.]
(Huh?) [It cycles through his other forms: Dracula, funny car, lederhosen, before finally showing Mater's true form, as he nervously smiles; alarmed]
It's the American spy!! [the Lemons all draw their weapons]
Computer Gatling gun, request acknowledged. [two Gatling guns appear out of Mater's sides]
DOWN!!! DOWN!!! EVERYBODY, DOWN!!!!
M Mater
Shoot. I didn't mean--
Computer Request acknowledged. [Mater's guns fire madly, shooting everything in the room as the Lemons drive for cover. The force of the guns makes Mater back out of the room and onto the balcony]
M Mater
Whoa, whoa, whoa! Wait!! I didn't mean that kind of "shoot"!
Mater's Computer Correction acknowledged. Deploying chute. [a parachute appears out of Mater's back]
M Mater
Whoa-a-a! [carries him into the air. The Lemons watched as Mater go high up in the air and saw McQueen onstage] McQueen! [spots a motorboat and hook onto it.]
B Boat
Whoa! What's this?!
M Mater
[sees McQueen onstage]
McQueen! McQueen! Whoa!
M Mater
[Suddenly, his tow cable comes off the boat, causing him to fall.]
Aah! [hits the leaves of a palm tree, then a hotel sign, and is about to hit a market stall]
MS Market Seller
Waagh! [gets hit as the screen goes black]
M Mater
Let me through! Let me through! [covered in Francesco memorabilia and palm leaves, Mater skids to a halt at the media's entrance] You gotta let me in! I gotta get through to warn McQueen!
IS Italian Security #1
You cannot-a come through here! Back up, signore.
IS Italian Security #2
[into a walkie-talkie]
We have a lunatic at Gate 9...
M Mater
No, listen! I was disguised as a tow truck to infiltrate this Lemonhead meetin' and my weapons system misinterpreted what I was sayin'!
IS Italian Security #2
I repeat. Lunatic at Gate 9.
M Mater
[looks past the gate]
McQueen! McQueen!
P Press
You are the champion!
PL Press Liaison
Right this way, signore.
IS Italian Security #1
Back up, sir.
IS Italian Security #2
Stop moving! Stop!
IS Italian Security #1
[Mater darts around the securities and speeds towards the press surrounding McQueen, all his decorations dropping off]
Hey, hey, hey! Where are you going? Oy! Stop! Ferma li!
That really sounded like Mater. Mater?
PL Press Liaison
Signore...
M Mater
McQueen! They're gonna kill you!
PL Press Liaison
Signore, please...
[moves through the press crowd]
Uhhhh... scusi, scusi.
PL Press Liaison
No, no, where are you going?! Please, Mr. McQueen!!
Scusi... Mater! Mater! Mater, I'm so glad to see you. I'm so sorry--
I Ivan
Lightning McQueen! I am a huge fan!
[surprised]
Oh, I'm sorry. I thought I heard--
I Ivan
Yes, but that was me. I said, "You killed out there today." You're the best.
What? Oh. I mean, thanks.
PL Press Liaison
Right this way, signore.
[pushed back in the other direction]
I-I really thought I heard my friend.
I Ivan
In England, you'll be finished. At the finish line.
PL Press Liaison
Please, uh, the world press is waiting. You come-a with me, please.
M Mater
[Mater, now bound and with his mouth taped, is pulled away and thrown into the back of a transport vehicle. He lands hard on his side, spitting out his tape]
Let me go!
You actually care about that race car. A pity you didn't warn him in time.
[The transport vehicle's door shuts, trapping Mater inside, and blacks him out with sleeping gas]
[On TV]
Crashes Are A Part Of Racing, I Know, But Something Like That Should Never Happen.
[On TV]
They're Letting You Choose Your Fuel For The Final Race. Do You Have Any Idea What It's Gonna Be?
Did He Just Say Allinol?!
[On TV]
My Friend Fillmore says the fuel's safe; that's good enough for me. I Didn't Stand By A Friend Of Mine Recently; I'm Not Gonna Make The Same Mistake Twice.
[On TV]
So, a surprising revelation from Lightning McQueen: he will use Allinol in the final race despite what occurred today.
LK Lemon Kingpin
[Through The Telephone]
Till Lightning McQueen Is Dead!
Of Course. [The Phone Call Ends] Allinol Must Be Finished For Good. McQueen Cannot Win The Last Race. Lightning McQueen Must Be Killed!
M Mater
No!
[Mater Bumps Into A TV Which Breaks His Special Siren Light, He Turns Into All The Silly Disguises And Turns Normal] .
It's The American Spy!!!
[The Lemons Aim Guns At Him] .
Computer [Gets The Gatling Guns Out Of Mater's Bodywork]
Gatling Gun: Request Acknowledged.
You Actually Care About That Race Car: A Pity You Didn't Warn Him In Time.
[The Transport Vehicle's Door Shuts, Trapping Mater Inside And Blacks Him Out With Sleeping Gas] .
M Mater
[From Off-Screen]
Idiot, Is That How You See Me?
[From Off-Screen]
That's How Everyone Sees You, I Tell You That's The Genius Of It, No One Realizes They're Being Fooled Because They're Too Busy Laughing At The Fool... [Echoes].
[Mater Opens The Door Like Gates Of Heaven, The First Flashback In Crowd In Tokyo, Japan] .
M Mater
[Been Leaked On The Stage]
But I Never Leak Oil Never!
Mater, you have to get a hold of yourself; you're making a scene!
M Mater
[At The Sixth Flashback...] [Noticed His Friend's Angry Glare]
Wait A Minute, I Didn't Screw Ya Up Did I?
[Angrily]
I LOST THE RACE BECAUSE OF YOU!!
M Mater
Maybe If I Talked To Somebody–
[Angrily]
I Don't Need Your Help! I Don't Want Your Help! [Echoes].
[Mater Sadly Lowers His Head And Hears The Words Echoed Around Him] .
M Mater
[Banging The Gong As Random Cars Laugh]
Bang The Gong: Get It On!
[Voice]
Listen, This Isn't Radiator Springs. This Is Exactly Why I Don't Bring You Along To These Things!
[Watching in terror, he wakes up to find himself tied up above a set of cogs. As a bell chimes, he looks around the room filled with gears and sees Finn and Holley also tied up, dangling in the teeth of the gears next to him.] .
M Mater
Holley! Finn! Where Are We?
We're In London Mater, Inside Big Bentley.
[The Camera Zooms Out To Show The Outside Of The Great Elizabeth Tower Where Big Bentley Is With The Clock Saying 3 O'Clock In The Afternoon, The Changes Shot To Show The Tower Next To The Houses Of Parliament As The Ropes Holding Mater & The Cages Unwind] .
M Mater
Oh, this, this is all my fault.
M Mater
But I Am Remember, You Said So.
Where Did I? Oh, Mater, I Was Complimenting You On What A Good Spy You Are.
M Mater
[Frustrated]
I'M NOT A SPY!!!! The voices echoed as Finn and Holley felt completely shocked.] I've Been Trying To Tell You That The Whole Time; I Really Am Just A Tow Truck.
M Mater
You Were Right Finn, I'm A Fool And What's Happened To McQueen Is 'Cause I'm Such A Big One: This Is All My Fault.
[They Notice Grem & Acer Arrive In An Elevator] .
[To Mater, Holley and Finn]
Good, You're Up.
[Uncovers The EMP Generator]
Professor Z Wanted You To Have A Front-Row Seat For The Death Of Lightning McQueen.
M Mater
He's Still Alive?
SC Sally Carrera
We Came As Soon As You Called.
I Called To Talk To Mater; It Never Occurred To Me That He Wouldn't Be There.
Sheriff Is Talking To Scotland Yard Right Now.
And Sarge Is In Touch With His Friends In The British Military.
SC Sally Carrera
You Just Need To Focus On The Race.
I know, but, Sally, with everything going on, I'm not sure... Sir Axlerod.
[At the third and final race in London, Grem has the E.M.P. ray aimed at Lightning]
Here he comes.
[Mater watches horrified as Grem starts the Emitter at 100% power. The Emitter's red light glows brightly. The Emitter continues to aim at Lightning, but nothing happens to him and he continues racing]
What happened?
