Oh, Lightning! Welcome home!
Good to have you back, honey.
Sheriff 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!
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]
Sheriff [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!
M Mater
I need that thing you done before to get me away from McQueen!
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
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.
[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.
Tree-hugger.
[The Camera Shows On A Banner Saying "Radiator Springs Grand Prix" Before Moving Down To Show Sheriff Slowly Driving Along The Main Road With The World Grand Prix Racers Behind Him With The Spectators Watching Beside Hay Bales Being Used As Barriers] .
Sheriff The Radiator Springs Grand Prix Is About To Begin. All Spectators, Clear The Starting Line.

Man, I Can't Wait To Get Rocking; This Is Gonna Be Wicked!
JG Jeff Gorvette
Yeah, We Should Do This Every Year.
Yeah, I Just Figured We Never Found Out Who The World's Fastest Car Is, plus no press, no trophy, just racing the way I Like It.
Francesco Likes It Like This Too.
Francesco, I'd Like You To Meet—
Signorina Sally, It Is Official, Lightning McQueen Is The Luckiest Car In The World.

Why Thank You. [Chuckles].
