Oh, Lightning! Welcome home!

Good to have you back, honey.

Congratulations, man!

Welcome home, Soldier.

This place wasn’t the same without you, son.

What? Did he go somewhere?

It’s good to be home, everybody. [hears Mater’s horn and sees him coming] Mater.

McQueen! [Otis shrieks]

Mater!

McQueen!

[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?

Halfway... [panting] to the county line.

Ooh, not bad, man! [turns on the lift for Otis]

I know! I can't believe it either!

McQueen, welcome back! [they fist bump with their front wheels]

Mater, it’s good to see you!

You too, buddy, oh man, you ain’t gonna believe the things. I got planned for us.

Oh, these best friends greetings, they get longer every year.

You ready to have some serious fun?

Well, actually I’ve got something to show you first.

[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!
