Prof. Z quotes from Cars 2 (2011)

Finn

What are you up to now, Professor? [four grappling hooks lower him above the oil platform]

This is valuable equipment. Make sure it is properly secured for the voyage.

Got it.

Grem

Hey, Professor Z! This is one of those British spies that we told you about!

Acer

Yeah, this one we caught sticking his bumper where it didn't belong!

Agent Leland Turbo. [Leland's remains are revealed: He's been crushed into a cube. Finn gasps in shock. A burst of flame behind Finn reveals his shadow on the platform below. Zündapp looks up and sees him] It's Finn McMissile! [Finn starts shooting] He's seen the camera! KILL HIM!!!

Holley

Mater, we got to get that bomb off of you.

Lightning

Bomb?

Yeah, they strapped it to me to kill you as a back-up plan.

Lightning

Back-up plan? Mater, who put a bomb on you?

Prof. Z

You! Why my death ray didn't kill you?!

Lightning

Death ray?!

Finn

Turn off the bomb, Zündapp!

Prof. Z

Are you all so dense? It's voice-activated. Everything is voice-activated these days.

Deactivate! Deactivate!

Voice denied. [a bomb starts a countdown mechanism from 4:59 to 4:58 to 4:57; Mater gasps in shock.]

Huh!

Prof. Z

Oops. Did I forget to mention that it can only be disarmed by the one who activated it?

Holley

Say it.

Prof. Z

Deactivate.

Voice denied. [the bomb lowers down from 4:48 to 3:48 to 3:47; Mater gasps.]

Prof. Z

Oh. I'm not the one who activated it. Would anyone else like to try? [Shiftwell zaps him]

Finn

You read my mind.

Holley

He was getting on my nerves.

Lightning

What do we do?

It’s very simple. You blow up.

Lightning

I’m going out on a limb here. These are the guys that want me dead, correct?

Vladimir

It’s nothing personal.

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.

J. Curby

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]

Pit stop.

Sheriff

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]

Sarge

Thanks for the help, Corporal.

Anything for one of Pop's mates.

Lightning

What’s he saying? What’s wrong?

Luigi

None of his wrenches fit the bolts!

I get it. I get it! I know what needs to be done.

Lightning

Then do it.

What? No, I can’t do it. Look, nobody takes me seriously. I know that now. This ain’t Radiator Springs.

Lightning

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.

Thanks, buddy.

Lightning

No, no, no, you're the actual bomb. Now let's go!

Oh, right! Hang on! [hooks up to McQueen, and drives off]

Finn

Where's he going?

Computer!

Mater's Computer

Yes, Agent 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]

Lightning

Mater?

Now I need you to do shoot! The second kind, not the first!

Deploying chute. [brings out the chute; Mater and McQueen soar up in the sky]

Finn

Mater.

Finn, you’re okay!

Finn

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!

Uh-oh.

Lightning

Mater, there you are!

Stop right there!

Lightning

Oh, man, I've been so worried about you!

Don't come any closer!

Lightning

Are you okay?

No, I'm not okay! Stay away from me!

Lightning

No, wait! Wait!

Brent Mustangburger

Hold everything. A tow truck has just raced onto the track, and he's driving backwards!

Lightning

Mater, wait!

David Hobbscap

Normally, an emergency vehicle on the track means there's been an accident.

Brent

Wait, wait. Lightning McQueen is chasing him!

Lightning

Mater, wait!

Stay back! If you get close to me, you're gonna get hurt real bad!

Lightning

I know I made you feel that way before, but none of that matters! Because we're best friends!

Brent

And McQueen seems to be having a conversation with a tow truck.

Darrell

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]

McQueen, you don’t get it! I'm the bomb!

Lightning

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!

Stay away!

Lightning

No! Never!

Prof. Z

Almost there.

Lightning

I'm not... letting you... GET AWAY AGAIN!!! [grabs Mater's tow cable]

Got to keep away from McQueen!

Computer

Request acknowledged.

Lightning

Oh, my gosh!
[Mater rockets off at a tremendous speed, dragging McQueen with him.]

Finn

No!

Miles

Long live Lemons!

Brent

Oh, number 7 is loose! Shu Todoroki!

Holley

Finn?

Brent

Bumper to bumper as they approach the finish line! McQueen's the winner! Francesco’s second! They have no idea what happened behind them.

Francesco

Ugh! This is impossible!

Lightning

That’s what I’m talking about! Ka-chow! [Ambulances sirens] Wh- What happened? Where are all the other cars?

Francesco

What is going on?

Lightning

Oh, no!

Brent

Sir Axlerod, is the final race in London still going to take place?

Miles

I suppose that... [sighs] Look, the show must go on, as they say. But now is not the time to talk about...

J. Curby

I can't believe this is really happening!

Vladimir

Shh! Quiet!

Brent

And allinol? Will you require all the racers to still run on allinol?

Vladimir

Here it comes!

Miles

I cannot, in good conscience, continue to risk the lives of any more race cars. The final race will not be run on allinol.

Ah-ha-ha! Ha-ha! [continue cheering]

Brent

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.

Prof. Z

A toast! To the death of allinol and alternative fuel forever!

Holley

Mater, abort the mission! They've got Finn. Get out of there. Get out of there right now!

How is your grandfather?

Long live lemons!

Isn’t this a great party, Ivan, huh?

Oh yeah, it’s unbelievable.

You’re not leaving, are you?

Uh, of course I’m not leaving.

Lightning

Just in shock like everybody...

McQueen?

Lightning

Crashes are a part of racing, I know, but something like that should never happen.

Darrell

They're letting you choose your fuel for the final race. Do you have any idea what it's gonna be?

Lightning

Allinol.

What?!

J. Curby

Did he just say Allinol?!

Darrell

After today?

Lightning

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.

Brent

So a surprising revelation from Lightning McQueen. He will use allinol in the final race, despite what occurred today.

Prof. Z

Yes, sir.

Miles

...Till Lightning McQueen is dead!

Prof. Z

Of course. [to his fellow Lemons] Allinol must be finished for good. McQueen cannot win the last race. Lightning McQueen must be killed!

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.]

Prof. Z

It's the American spy!! [the Lemons all draw their weapons]

Dad-gum!

Computer

Gatling gun, request acknowledged. [two Gatling guns appear out of Mater's sides]

Prof. Z

DOWN!!! DOWN!!! EVERYBODY, DOWN!!!!

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]

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]

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.]

Whoa! What's this?!

Whoa!

Yah!

McQueen! McQueen! Whoa!

Aah! [hits the leaves of a palm tree, then a hotel sign, and is about to hit a market stall]

Waagh! [gets hit as the screen goes black]

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!

You cannot-a come through here! Back up, signore.

We have a lunatic at Gate 9...

No, listen! I was disguised as a tow truck to infiltrate this Lemonhead meetin' and my weapons system misinterpreted what I was sayin'!

I repeat. Lunatic at Gate 9.

McQueen! McQueen!

You are the champion!

Right this way, signore.

McQueen!

Lightning

Mater?

McQueen!

Give us a pose!

McQueen!

Back up, sir.

Stop moving! Stop!

Hey, hey, hey! Where are you going? Oy! Stop! Ferma li!

McQueen!

Lightning

That really sounded like Mater. Mater?

Signore...

McQueen! They're gonna kill you!

Lightning

Mater!

Signore, please...

Lightning

Uhhhh... scusi, scusi.

No, no, where are you going?! Please, Mr. McQueen!!

Lightning

Scusi. Mater!

McQueen!

Lightning

Scusi... Mater! Mater! Mater, I'm so glad to see you. I'm so sorry--

Lightning McQueen! I am a huge fan!

Lightning

Oh, I'm sorry. I thought I heard--

Yes, but that was me. I said, "You killed out there today." You're the best.

Lightning

What? Oh. I mean, thanks.

Right this way, signore.

Lightning

I-I really thought I heard my friend.

In England, you'll be finished. At the finish line.

Lightning

Wait, what?

Please, uh, the world press is waiting. You come-a with me, please.

Let me go!

Prof. Z

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]

Grem

I got to admit, you tricked us real good.

Acer

And we don't like being tricked. [Rod chuckles] Hey! What's so funny?

Well, you know, I was just wearing a disguise. You guys are stuck looking like that. [Grem pushes a lever, turning the magnet off, and causing Rod to land on a small platform, where one of the Lemon Cars pushes a fuel tank of Allinol towards him.] Allinol? Thanks, fellas! I hear this stuff is good for you.

So you think Allinol by itself is good for you. [presses a button, which causes some cylinders attached to the platform to turn Rod's rear tires and make whirring sounds as his status bar shows his speedometer going up] But after microscopic examination, I have found that it has one small weakness. When hit with an electromagnetic pulse, it becomes extremely dangerous.

Grem

Smile for the camera.

Is that all you want? I got a whole act.

You were very interested in this camera on the oil platform. Now you will witness what it really does.

Whatever you say, Professor.

Acer

You talked up a lot of cars last night. Which one's your associate?

Your mother. Oh, no, I'm sorry, it was your sister. You know, I can't tell them apart these days.

Grem

Could I start it now, Professor Z?

Go 50% power. [Grem then pushes a lever beneath the EMP generator that causes the lens to light up and make whirring sounds, going to 50% power] The camera is actually an electromagnetic pulse emitter.

Acer

What about her? Did you give it to her?

The Allinol is now heating to a boil, dramatically expanding, causing the engine block to crack under the stress, forcing oil into the combustion chamber. [While Zündapp is talking, Rod's engine is heard cracking, then the oil is heard flowing.]

Acer

How about him? Did you talk to him?!

What do I care?! I can replace an engine block

You may be able to, but after full impact of the pulse, [as Grem pushes the generator's lever to 75% power] unfortunately, there will be nothing to replace.

Acer

How about him? Does he have it?

That's him. He's the one.

Grem

Roger that Professor Z.

NO!

Yes, sir, we believe the infiltrator has passed along sensitive information.

Right away!

I will take care of it before any damage can be done. [hangs up] The project is still on schedule. You will find the second agent and kill him. [Zündapp then pushes the generator's lever to 100% power, which the screen then shows the picture of Rod and Mater, zooming in as a reflection of Rod is shown, shaking as the generator's electromagnetic pulse gets more powerful, before he finally explodes, cut into the screen shows a distant view of Mount Fuji and a Japanese tower while the WGP theme begins]

Brent Mustangburger

Japan, land of the rising sun, where ancient tradition meets modern technology. Welcome to the inaugural running of the World Grand Prix. I'm Brent Mustangburger, here with racing legends Darrell Cartrip and David Hobbscap. There's never been a competition like this before. First, Allinol, making its debut tonight as the required fuel for all these great champions. Second, the course itself, and it's like nothing we've ever seen before. David, how exactly does this competition work?

David Hobbscap

Well, Brent, all three of these street courses are classic round-the-house racetracks. [the camera shows the labelled in Japan, Italy and England] This means that the LMP and Formula cars should break out of the gate in spectacular fashion. Look for Francesco Bernoulli in particular to lead early. And with a series of technical turns throughout GT and Touring cars, like Spain's Miguel Camino should make up some ground, but I doubt it'll be enough to stop Francesco from absolutely running away with it.

Darrell Cartrip

Whoa, now just hold your horsepower. You're forgetting the most important factor here: that early dirt track section of the course! The dirt is supposed to be the great equalizer in this race.

Brent Mustangburger

French Rally Car Raoul ÇaRoule Is Counting On A Big Boost Headed Through There.

Darrell Cartrip

And Don't Forget Lightning McQueen, His Mentor The Hudson Hornet Was One Of The Greatest Dirt Track Races Of All Time In My Opinion, McQueen Is The Best All Round Racer In This Competition.

David Hobbscap

Really, Darrell, I think you need to clean your windshield. You're clearly not seeing this for what it is: Francesco's race to lose. [The WGP racers roll into the starting line to prepare to race.]

Brent Mustangburger

It's time to find out. The racers are lockin' into the grid.

Lightning McQueen

Speed. I am speed.

Francesco Bernoulli

Really? You are speed? Then Francesco is triple speed. [closes his eyes] Francesco is triple speed. Oh-ho! Francesco likes this, McQueen. It's-a really getting him into the zone! [revs his engine]

Lightning McQueen

He is so getting beat today. [revs his engine; the lights turn from red to green, and the first race is underway; one Set Of Red Lights Turns On One-By-One Before Another Set Of Lights Beneath It Turns Green, The Races Start The First Lap With Raoul ÇaRoule & Miguel Camino Leading Through The Narrow Streets Of Tokyo Before Raoul Gets Overtaken By Max Schnell, Carla Veloso, & Miguel Gets Overtaken By Jeff Gorvette, Shu Todoroki, Lightning McQueen, Francesco Bernoulli, Nigel Gearsley, Lewis Hamilton, & Rip Clutchgoneski Behind Him As McQueen & Francesco Make Their Moves Around Jeff, Carla, Raoul, & Max Which Francesco Takes The Lead With McQueen And Go Around The First Corner].

Jeff, Your Tires Are.

.

.

.

Sarge

Your Suspension Sets Look Good.

Luigi

Tire Pressure Is Excellent!

Fillmore

He's Got Plenty Of Fuel.

And He's Awesome.

McQueen, McQueen, McQueen! [The Screen Shows Finn & Holley Inside A Building Overlooking The Pit Road And Have Their Eyes On Mater, Who Is Wearing A Headset].

Holley Shiftwell

Why is he in the Pits? He's so Exposed.

Finn McMissile

It's His Cover, One Of The Best I've Seen Too. Look at the detail on the rust; it must have cost him a fortune.

Holley Shiftwell

But Why Hasn't He Contacted Us Yet?

Finn McMissile

There's Probably Heat On Him: Be Patient.

Holley Shiftwell

Right, Of Course, He'll Signal Us When He Can.

Finn McMissile

And Then We Find Out Who's Behind All This.

Brent Mustangburger

As They Head Into The Palace Hairpin, Francesco Builds An Early Lead.

Darrell Cartrip

Ah Hang On Boys, Here Comes The Dirt, Slipping And Sliding Baby.

McQueen, It's Time To Make Your Move. Get On The Outside And Show Them What Doc Taught You.

Lightning McQueen

10-4 Mater.

David Hobbscap

Oh Boy, Francesco's Brought To A Screeching Halt!

Brent Mustangburger

Lightning McQueen Is The First To Take Advantage And Just Like That, Folks, Francesco's Lead Is Left In The Dust.

Lightning McQueen

Nice call, Mater. Keep It Up.

Acer

It's Finn McMissile! But you're dead!

Finn McMissile

Then this shouldn't hurt at all. [sprays both Acer and Petey with a fire extinguisher, blinding them]

Lightning McQueen

Crashes Are A Part Of Racing, I Know, But Something Like That Should Never Happen.

Darrell Cartrip

They're Letting You Choose Your Fuel For The Final Race. Do You Have Any Idea What It's Gonna Be?

Lightning McQueen

Allinol.

What?!

J. Curby Gremlin

Did He Just Say Allinol?!

Darrell Cartrip

After Today?

Lightning McQueen

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.

Brent Mustangburger

So, a surprising revelation from Lightning McQueen: he will use Allinol in the final race despite what occurred today.

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!

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] .

Dad-Gum!

Computer

Gatling Gun: Request Acknowledged.

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] .

Idiot, Is That How You See Me?

Finn McMissile

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] .

But I Never Leak Oil Never!

Lightning McQueen

Mater, you have to get a hold of yourself; you're making a scene!

Wait A Minute, I Didn't Screw Ya Up Did I?

Lightning McQueen

I LOST THE RACE BECAUSE OF YOU!!

Maybe If I Talked To Somebody–

Lightning McQueen

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] .

Bang The Gong: Get It On!

Lightning McQueen

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.] .

Holley! Finn! Where Are We?

Finn McMissile

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] .

Oh, this, this is all my fault.

Finn McMissile

Don't Be A Fool, Mater.

But I Am Remember, You Said So.

Finn McMissile

Where Did I? Oh, Mater, I Was Complimenting You On What A Good Spy You Are.

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.

Holley Shiftwell

Finn, He's Not Joking.

Finn McMissile

I Know.

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] .

Grem

Good, You're Up.

Acer

And Just In Time.

Grem

Professor Z Wanted You To Have A Front-Row Seat For The Death Of Lightning McQueen.

He's Still Alive?

Acer

Not For Much Longer.

We Came As Soon As You Called.

Lightning McQueen

I Called To Talk To Mater; It Never Occurred To Me That He Wouldn't Be There.

Ramone

Sheriff Is Talking To Scotland Yard Right Now.

Flo

And Sarge Is In Touch With His Friends In The British Military.

You Just Need To Focus On The Race.

Lightning McQueen

I know, but, Sally, with everything going on, I'm not sure... Sir Axlerod.

Grem

Here he comes.

What happened?

Grem

I don't know, Professor.

Acer

What did you do.

Grem

I didn't do nothing.

Brent Mustangburger

And Lightning McQueen Just Blasted Away, Hooked To The Now Rocket-Propelled Tow Truck.

Finn McMissile

Holley, I'll get Zündapp; you help Mater!

Holley Shiftwell

Got it!
[Holley flies right on top of Francesco, disorienting him] .

Francesco Bernoulli

WHAT IS HAPPENING?! [Lets And Passes Through The Traffic And Raced Towards The Tower Bridge Where Tony Trihull Is Waiting For Him At The River Thames].

Hurry Professor!

Aah!

Finn McMissile

Ha! Do you really think I'm goin' to let you float away, Professor?!

McQueen, let go!

Lightning

Never!

Hey they're coming your way.

Grem

Let's go.

Give it up, McMissile!! [But, like any other hero, Finn refuses to give up and launches bombs at Tony, who looks at them in horror. The bombs then explode massively, killing and destroying Tony once and for all, and Professor Zündapp is captured by Finn. Holley is then seen catching up to Lightning and Mater.]

Holley

Mater, stop!

No way! You could get hurt.

Holley

Oh, no. [She bumps into Grem and Acer]

AAH!
