Oh, Lightning! Welcome home!
Good to have you back, honey.
Fillmore Congratulations, man!
This place wasn’t the same without you, son.
L Lizzie
What? Did he go somewhere?
It’s good to be home, everybody. [hears Mater’s horn and sees him coming] Mater.
M Mater
McQueen! [Otis shrieks]
[Mater halts, making Otis flung into Ramone's House of Body Art, and stops on a hydraulic lift.]
Hey, how far'd you make it this time, Otis?
O Otis
Halfway... [panting] to the county line.
Ooh, not bad, man! [turns on the lift for Otis]
O Otis
I know! I can't believe it either!
M Mater
McQueen, welcome back! [they fist bump with their front wheels]
Mater, it’s good to see you!
M Mater
You too, buddy, oh man, you ain’t gonna believe the things. I got planned for us.
M Mack
Oh, these best friends greetings, they get longer every year.
M Mater
You ready to have some serious fun?
Well, actually I’ve got something to show you first.
M Mater
[cut to Mater noticing McQueen's Hudson Hornet Piston Cup, honoring Doc Hudson who, like Paul Newman, died]
Wow! I can’t believe they renamed the Piston Cup after our very own Doc Hudson!
I got to admit, you tricked us real good.
And we don't like being tricked. [Rod chuckles] Hey! What's so funny?
RT Rod Torque Redline
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.
[moves a camera-disguised EMP generator forward]
Smile for the camera.
RT Rod Torque Redline
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.
RT Rod Torque Redline
Whatever you say, Professor.
[as a Pacer comes up with a TV screen showing a picture of Rod with a Japanese pink car while in disguise]
You talked up a lot of cars last night. Which one's your associate?
RT Rod Torque Redline
Your mother. Oh, no, I'm sorry, it was your sister. You know, I can't tell them apart these days.
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.
[showing Rod a picture of him with Shigeko]
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.]
[showing Rod a picture of him with a Japanese red Ferrari at a sushi stand]
How about him? Did you talk to him?!
RT Rod Torque Redline
[as smoke gets emitted from his tailpipes]
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.
[showing Rod a picture of him With Mater in the bathroom]
How about him? Does he have it?
[Rod trembles upon seeing the image, which Zündapp then notices and looks at the picture.]
That's him. He's the one.
RT Rod Torque Redline
[last words]
NO!
[through cell phone to the Lemon Kingpin]
Yes, sir, we believe the infiltrator has passed along sensitive information.
LK Lemon Kingpin
[through phone]
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]
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?
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.
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.
French Rally Car Raoul ÇaRoule Is Counting On A Big Boost Headed Through There.
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.
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.]
It's time to find out. The racers are lockin' into the grid.
[closes his eyes as a pre-race ritual]
Speed. I am speed.
[laughs mockingly]
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]
[complains about Francesco]
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].

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].
Why is he in the Pits? He's so Exposed.
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.
[Using Her On-Board Computer Dual Trackball Platforms]
But Why Hasn't He Contacted Us Yet?
There's Probably Heat On Him: Be Patient.
Right, Of Course, He'll Signal Us When He Can.
And Then We Find Out Who's Behind All This.
[Announcing]
As They Head Into The Palace Hairpin, Francesco Builds An Early Lead.
Ah Hang On Boys, Here Comes The Dirt, Slipping And Sliding Baby.
M Mater
McQueen, It's Time To Make Your Move. Get On The Outside And Show Them What Doc Taught You.
[As Francesco Struggles To Brake On The Dirt]
Oh Boy, Francesco's Brought To A Screeching Halt!
[As McQueen Uses Doc's "Turn Right To Go Left" Trick To Overtake Francesco]
Lightning McQueen Is The First To Take Advantage And Just Like That, Folks, Francesco's Lead Is Left In The Dust.
Nice call, Mater. Keep It Up.
It's Finn McMissile! But you're dead!
Then this shouldn't hurt at all. [sprays both Acer and Petey with a fire extinguisher, blinding them]
[Lightning Is Missing Mater At The Race in Italy as the racers gather at the finish line]
You Are Looking Live At Beautiful Porto Corsa, Italy, On The Italian Riviera, What A Magnificent Setting For The Second Race Of The World Grand Prix!
Well Brent, They Call This Place The Gem Of The Riviera And It's Easy To See Why With Its Secluded Beaches And Opulent Casinos, Porto Corsa Truly Is A Playground For The Wealthy And Everyone Who's Anyone Is Here Today From The Ultra-Rich And Super-Famous To World Leaders And Important Dignitaries.
You Aren't Kidding, David, You Can't Do A Three-Point Turn Around Here Without Bumping Into Some Celebrity!
Welcome Everyone To The Second Race Of The World Grand Prix, Where The Big News Continues To Be Allinol. Sir Miles Axlerod spoke to the press earlier today to answer questions about its safety.
[Being Interviewed]
An Independent Panel Of Scientists Has Determined That Allinol Is Completely Safe. Okay: Safe; There It Is.
So the race will go on, folks.
But The Question Everyone Is Asking: Will The Real Lightning McQueen Show Up Today?
Well He'd Better, Talk About A Home Track Advantage, Francesco Bernoulli Grew Up Racing On This Course.

[Seeing That McQueen Feels Sad]
McQueen, Is Everything OK?
Fillmore If You're Worried About Your Fuel Man Don't, It's Perfectly Safe.
No, guys, I Just Really Wish Mater Were Here.
[notices Lightning is sad]
Francesco Understands This McQueen.
[sarcastically]
Oh great, here it comes. What do you got, Francesco?
For Famous Race Cars Like Francesco, and well, you, to be far away from home is not easy.
[sarcastically]
I Think You Forgot The Insulting Part Of That Insult.
[emotionally]
It's-a no insult! When Francesco is away from home, he misses his mama. Just like-a you miss your tow truck, amigo.
[impressed]
Gee, I maybe misjudged you because that's exactly how I--
[smiling]
Of course. I am at home, and my mama is right here. [points and waves at a vintage Ferrari in the crowd who is smiling, blowing kisses and waving back] Mama! Don't worry, Mama! McQueen is very sad. I will beat his cry-baby bottom today!
[sarcastically]
And there's the insult we were missing. Grazie!
Darrell, The Races Are Settling As They Head To The Italian Countryside.
Whoo Boy, This Is Gonna Be A Great Race.
M Mater
So, there we were, my rocket jets goin' full blast, McQueen hangin' on for dear life, when suddenly, them two nasty lemons come out of nowhere with guns drawn. We was goners. But then, out of nowhere, this beautiful spy car swoops in from the sky to save us.
M Minny
That's a very entertaining story, young man.
V Van
Oh, Minny, please. Come on! None of this happened. Rocket jets, flying spy cars--
[out of nowhere]
No, you're quite right. [landing] It does sound a bit far-fetched.
M Mater
Holley! What are you doing here?
Hello, Mater! It's so good to see you again.
Our Satellites Picked Up An Urgent Communiqué.
M Mater
Oh, man. Y'all is gon' have a great time. Everybody, this here's Finn McMissile. He's a secret agent. Don't tell nobody. And this is Holley Shiftwell. She's--
I'm Mater's girlfriend. It's so nice to meet you all.
[Guido's jaw drops, his forks hit the ground in shock] [smiling]
Guido believe you now.
[Looking At Holley's Dent]
Whoa Honey, You Got A Nasty Dent There.
V Van
Was That From When You Swooped In And You Saved Them In London?
V Van
What, I'm Just Asking!
Ah, don't you worry, sweet pea. My Baby Ramone Can Get That Fixed Up For You In No Time.
Yeah, sure thing, man. No problem, Just Let Me Go Get My Tools.
Oh-No-No, I-I'm Keeping That Dent; It's Way Too Valuable.
L Lizzie
A Valuable Dent, Oh, She's As Crazy As Mater.
M Mack
Oh Those Two Are Perfect For Each Other.
You know, there's one thing I still don't get. The bad guys hit me with the beam from the camera, right? So, why didn't I...
M Mater
[finishing his friend's question]
Explode in a fiery inferno?
We couldn't figure that out, either.
Our investigation proved that Allinol was actually gasoline, and Axlerod engineered it so when it got hit by the beam it would explode.
Wait a second, Fillmore; You said my fuel was safe.
Fillmore [Everyone turns and curiously looks at Fillmore]
If you're implying that I switched out that rot-gut excuse for alternative fuel with my all-natural, sustainable, organic biofuel just because I never trusted Axlerod, you're dead wrong, man. It was him. [points to Sarge]
Once big oil, always big oil... man.
Fillmore Tree-hugger.
