“He's done? He must've finished it while we were all sleepin'.”

Mater

[The folks of Radiator Springs (except Doc) are sad that Lightning McQueen left without saying goodbye after fixing the main road.]

He's done? He must've finished it while we were all sleepin'.

Doc Hudson

Good riddance. [turns around and drives off]

Flo

He's gone?

Sarge

Well, we wouldn't want him to miss that race of his. [Sally drives off sadly.]

Ramone

[hears Sheriff sniffling]

Oh, dude, are you crying?

Sheriff

[feigning anger in denial]

No, I'm happy! I don't have to watch him every second of the day anymore! I'm glad he's gone! [Red speeds away sobbing, upset at the Sheriff's remarks and knocks down a stack of tires like last time.]

Lightning McQueen

[appearing out of nowhere]

What's wrong with Red?

Mater

[completely oblivious to Lightning's presence, while everyone gasps]

Oh, he's just sad 'cause you left town and went to your big race to win the Piston Cup that you always dreamed about your whole life, and get that big ol' sponsor, and that fancy helicopter you was talkin' about. [gasps] Wait a minute! [everyone (except Sheriff) laughs] I knowed you wouldn't leave without saying goodbye!

Sheriff

What're you doin' here, son? You're gonna miss your race! Don't worry- I'll give you a police escort and we'll make up the time.

Lightning McQueen

Thanks, Sheriff, but I don't think I'm ready to leave just yet.

Sheriff

Well- why not?

Lightning McQueen

I'm not sure if these- tires- can get me all the way to California.
