[Inhaling and exhaling deeply]
[Male] OK... Here we go. Focus.
Speed. I am speed.
[Cars whizzing past]
One winner, 42 losers.
I eat losers for breakfast.
[Car accelerating]
Breakfast.
Wait, maybe I should have had breakfast.
A little breck-y could be good for me. No, no, no, stay focused. Speed.
[Cars whizzing]
I'm faster than fast. Quicker than quick.
I am lightning!
[Pounding on door]
[Male] Hey, Lightning! You ready?
[~ Sheryl Crow: Real Gone]
Oh, yeah. Lightning's ready
[engine revving]
[Engine revs]
[Crowd cheers]
Ka-chow!
[Cars zooming]
[Cars whooshing]
[Both scream]
[All cheer]
Get your antenna balls here!
Go, Lightnin'!
- Whoo! - You got that right, slick. [whistles]
[Air wrench whirring]
Uh! [screams]
[Engine revs]
- [Male] Welcome back to the Dinoco 400. - [Crowd cheers]
I'm Bob Cutlass, here with my good friend, Darrell Cartrip.
We're midway through what may be an historic day for racing.
Bob, my oil pressure's through the roof.
If this gets more exciting, they're gonna have to tow me outta the booth!
Right, Darrell.
[Bob] Three cars are tied for the season points lead,
heading into the final race of the season.
And the winner of this race will win the season title and the Piston Cup.
Does The King, Strip Weathers,
have one more victory in him before retirement?
[Darrell] He's been Dinoco's golden boy for years!
Can he win them one last Piston Cup?
[Bob] And, as always, in the second place spot we find Chick Hicks.
He's been chasing that tailfin his entire career.
[Darrell] Chick thought this was his year.
His chance to finally emerge from The King's shadow.
But the last thing he expected was... Lightning McQueen!
[Bob] You know, I don't think anybody expected this.
The rookie sensation came into the season unknown.
But everyone knows him now.
[Darrell] Will he be the first rookie to win a Piston Cup and land Dinoco?
[Bob] The legend, the runner-up, and the rookie!
Three cars, one champion!
[Breaks screeching]
No you don't.
- [Chuckling] - Hey!
- [Tires squealing] - [Crowd booing]
What a ride!
[Chuckling]
Go get 'em, McQueen! Go get 'em!
[Female] I love you, Lightning!
- Dinoco is all mine. - [Screaming]
[Darrell] Trouble, turn three!
- Get through that, McQueen. - [Bob] Huge crash behind the leaders!
[Crowd gasps]
[Screaming]
[Giggling]
- [Grunts] - [Gasps]
[Both screaming]
[Bob] Wait a second, Darrell. McQueen is in the wreckage.
[Darrell] There's no way the rookie can make it through!
Not in one piece, that is.
[Exhaling]
Yeah!
Lightning! Oh!
[Darrell] Look at that! McQueen made it through!
[Bob] A spectacular move by Lightning McQueen!
Yeah! Ka-chow!
McQueen! McQueen! McQueen! McQueen! McQueen! McQueen!
Yeah, McQueen! Ka-chow! [honking]
[Bob] While everyone heads into the pits,
McQueen stays out to take the lead!
Don't take me out, coach. I can still race!
[Air wrench whirring]
[Chuckling] What do you think? A thing of beauty.
- McQueen made it! - [Chick] What?
He's not pitting!
You gotta get me out there! Let's go! Get me back out there!
McQueen's not going into the pits!
[Darrell] The rookie fired his crew chief. The third this season!
- [Bob] Says he likes working alone. - Go, go!
Looks like Chick got caught up in the pits.
Yeah, after a stop like that, he's got a lot of ground to make up.
Get ready, boys, we're coming to the restart!
[Crowd cheers]
Come on, come on, come on!
We need tires now! Come on, let's go!
- No, no, no, no! No tires, just gas! - [Male] What?
You need tires, you idiot!
[Darrell] Looks like it's gas-and-go's for McQueen today.
[Bob] Right. No tires again.
[Darrell] That's a short-term gain, long-term loss,
but it's workin' for him. He obviously knows somethin' we don't know.
[Cars whizzing]
[Bob] This is it, Darrell. One lap to go and Lightning McQueen has a huge lead.
He's got it in the bag. Call in the dogs and put out the fire!
We're gonna crown us a new champion!
[Crowd cheers and whistles]
[Screaming]
- Checkered flag, here I come! - [Tire blows]
[Darrell] No! McQueen's blown a tire!
[Bob] And with only one turn to go! Can he make it?
- You fool! - [Grunts]
[Male] McQueen's blown a tire! He's blown a tire!
Go, go, go!
- [Grunting] - [Tire blows]
[Darrell] He's lost another tire!
- King and Chick come up fast! - [Bob] They're entering turn three!
Come on. [grunting]
I don't believe what I'm watching, Bob!
Lightning McQueen is 100 feet from his Piston Cup!
[Gasping]
[Growling]
[Bob] The King and Chick rounding turn four.
[Darrell] Down the stretch they come! And it's, and it's...
- It's too close to call! Too close! - I don't believe it!
Lightning!
- The most spectacular, amazing... - I don't believe it!
...unequivocally, unbelievable ending in the history of the world!
- And we don't know who won! - Look at that!
[Tape jittering]
[Slow motion drone]
- That's very close to call. - Can we play that again?
Hey, no cameras! Get outta here!
We're here in Victory Lane, awaiting the results.
McQueen, that was a risky move, not taking tires.
Tell me about it!
Are you sorry you didn't have a crew chief out there?
Oh, Kori. There's a lot more to racing than just winning.
I mean, taking the race by a full lap... Where's the entertainment in that?
I wanted to give folks a little sizzle.
- Sizzle? - Am I sorry I don't have a crew chief?
No, I'm not. 'Cause I'm a one-man show.
What? Oh, yeah, right.
That was a confident Lightning McQueen.
Live from Victory Lane, I'm Kori Turbowitz.
- Get outta the shot. - Yo, Chuck.
Chuck, what are you doing? You're blockin' the camera!
- Everyone wants to see the bolt. - What?
- Now, back away. - That's it! Come on, guys.
- Whoa, team! Where are you going? - We quit, Mr. One-Man Show!
Oh, OK, leave. Fine.
How will I ever find anyone else who knows how to fill me up with gas?
[Crowd laughs]
- Adios, Chuck! - And my name is not Chuck!
Oh, whatever.
Hey, Lightning! Yo! McQueen!
Seriously, that was some pretty darn nice racin' out there.
- By me! - Oh, yeah.
- Zinger! - Welcome to the Chick era, baby!
The Piston Cup... It's mine, dude. It's mine.
Hey, fellas, how do you think I'd look in Dinoco blue? Dinoco blue!
In your dreams, Thunder.
Yeah, right. Thunder? What's he talkin' about, "Thunder"?
You know, 'cause thunder always comes after lightning.
Ka-ping! Ka-pow!
- Who knew about the thunder thing? - I didn't.
- Give us the bolt! - That's right.
Right in the lens.
- Show me the bolt, baby! - Smile, McQueen!
- Show me the bolt, McQueen! - That's it!
[Electronic music]
[Crowd chattering]
That was one close finish. You sure made Dinoco proud.
Thank you, King.
Well, Tex, you've been good to me all these years.
It's the least I could do.
Whatever happens, you're a winner to me, you old daddy rabbit.
Thanks, dear. Wouldn't be nothing without you.
Kch-i-ka-chow!
- I'm Mia. - I'm Tia.
[Both] We're, like, your biggest fans! Ka-chow!
I love being me.
- [Police] OK, girls, that's it. - We love you, Lightning!
[Chuckles]
Hey, buddy. You're one gutsy racer.
Oh, hey, Mr. The King.
You got more talent in one lug nut
than a lot of cars has got in their whole body.
- Really? Oh, that... - But you're stupid.
- Excuse me? - This ain't a one-man deal, kid.
You need to wise up and get a good crew chief and a good team.
You ain't gonna win unless you got good folks behind you,
[voice dwindling] and you let them do their job, like they should.
- Like I tell the boys at the shop... - A good team.
- Yeah... - [electronic music]
Ka-chow! Ka-pow!
[Crowd cheering]
[Screaming]
[Cheering]
Oh, Lightning!
If you figure that out you just gonna be OK.
Oh, yeah, that... That is spectacular advice.
Thank you, Mr. The King.
- [Fanfare] - [Bob] Ladies and gentlemen,
for the first time in Piston Cup history...
[revving] A rookie has won the Piston Cup.
Yes!
[Bob]... we have a three-way tie.
- [Crowd cheers] - [Cameras flash]
[Chuckling] Hey, that must be really embarrassing.
But I wouldn't worry about it. Because I didn't do it!
[Bob] Piston Cup officials have determined that a tiebreaker race
between the three leaders will be held in California in one week.
Well, thank you! Thanks to all of you out there! Thank you!
[Whispering] Hey, first one to California gets Dinoco all to himself.
No, not me! No, you rock, and you know that!
Oh, yeah! Whoo!
Yep! All right! Got it!
"First one to California gets Dinoco all to himself."
Oh, we'll see who gets there first, Chick.
Huh?
- Hey, kid! Congrats on the tie. - I don't want to talk about it.
Let's go, Mack. Saddle up. What'd you do with my trailer?
- I parked it at your sponsor's tent. - What?
Gotta make your personal appearance.
No. No! No, no, no, no!
Yes, yes, yes! Lightning McQueen here.
And I use Rust-eze Medicated Bumper Ointment, new rear end formula!
Nothing soothes a rusty bumper like Rust-eze.
Wow! Look at that shine!
Use Rust-eze and you too can look like me!
Ka-chow!
[Both laughing]
I met this car from Swampscott.
He was so rusty he didn't even cast a shadow.
- You could see his dirty undercarriage. - [Crowd laughs]
[Groaning] I hate rusty cars. This is not good for my image.
They did give you your big break. Besides, it's in your contract.
Oh, will you stop, please? Just go get hooked up.
- Winter is a grand old time. - Of this there are no ifs or buts.
[Male 1] But remember, all that salt and grime...
Can rust your bolts and freeze your...
Hey, look! There he is!
Our almost champ!
[Male 1] Get your rear end in here.
Lightning McQueen, you are wicked fast!
- That race was a pisser! - You were booking!
- Give me a little room. - You're my hero!
Yes, I know. [chuckles]
"Fred." Fred, thank you.
He knows my name. He knows my name!
Looking good, Freddie!
Thanks to you, Lightning, we had a banner year!
We might clear enough to buy you some headlights.
You saying he doesn't have headlights?
That's what I'm telling ya. They're stickers!
Well, you know, racecars don't need headlights,
because the track is always lit.
Yeah, well, so is my brother, but he still needs headlights.
[Laughing]
[Forced laughter]
- Ladies and gentlemen, - [both] Lightning McQueen!
[Crickets chirping]
Free Bird!
You know, the Rust-eze Medicated Bumper Ointment team
ran a great race today.
And remember, with a little Rust-eze...
[whispering] And an insane amount of luck,
...you too, can look like me. Ka-chow.
- Hey, kid. - We love ya.
And we're looking forward to another great year.
Just like this year!
Not on your life.
- Don't drive like my brother! - Yeah, don't drive like my brother!
California, here we come!
Dinoco, here we come!
[~ Rascal Flatts: Life is a Highway]
[Birds chirping]
[Phone ringing]
[Moaning] Oh... oh... uh, I needed this. Hello?
[Male] Is this Lightning McQueen, the world's fastest racing machine?
Is this Harv, the world's greatest agent?
And it is such an honor to be your agent
that it almost hurts me to take ten percent of your winnings.
Merchandising. And ancillary rights in perpetuity. Anyway, what a race, champ!
I didn't see it, but I heard you were great.
Thanks, Harv.
Listen, they're giving you 20 tickets for the tiebreaker thing in Cali.
I'll pass 'em on to your friends. Shoot me the names.
- You let Harv rock it for you, baby. - Right. Friends.
Yes, there's...
OK, I get it, Mr. Popular.
So many you can't even narrow it down. Hey, when you get to town,
you better make time for your best friend!
Break bread with your mishpocheh here!
That'd be great! We should totally...
OK, I gotta jump, kid. Let me know how it goes. I'm out.
- [Dial tone hums] - [Sighing]
- [Melodic beeping] - [Wheels squeaking]
[Lightning] What? A minivan?
Come on, you're in the slow lane.
This is Lightning McQueen you're hauling here.
Just stopping off for a quick breather, kid.
- Old Mack needs a rest. - Absolutely not.
We're driving all night till we get to California. We agreed to it.
All night? May I remind you federal DOT regs state...
Come on, I need to get there before Chick and hang with Dinoco.
[Mack groans] All those sleeping trucks.
Hey, kid, I don't know if I can make it.
Oh, sure you can, Mack.
Look, it'll be easy. I'll stay up with you.
- All night? - All night long.

Hey, Mack! Mack!

Mack, wait for me! [engine revving]

Mack!
[Bell ringing]
[Horn bellowing]
Mack! Mack!
Mack! Mack...
...wait up! [coughing] Mack.
Mack! Mack!
What? You're not Mack.
Mack? I ain't no Mack! I'm a Peterbilt, for dang sake!
[Peterbilt] Turn on your lights, you moron!
Mack... The Interstate!
[Tires squealing]
- [Engine roaring] - Huh?
Not in my town, you don't.
[Siren wailing]
Oh, no.
- Oh, maybe he can help me! - [Sheriff backfiring]
He's shooting at me! Why is he shooting at me?
[Backfiring]
I haven't gone this fast in years.
[Grunting] I'm gonna blow a gasket or somethin'.
Serpentine! Serpentine, serpentine!
What in the blue blazes?
Crazy hot-rodder.

Ow, ow, ow, ow, ow!
- [Screaming] - [Tires screeching]
No, no, no, no, no, no!
Ow!
I'm not the only one seeing this, right?
- Incoming! - Whoa, man.
- No! - Hey!
Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa!
My tires!

Fly away, Stanley. Be free!
[Gasping]
[Breathing heavily]
Boy, you're in a heap of trouble.
[Sighing]
We're live at the Los Angeles International Speedway
as the first competitor, Lightning McQueen,
is arriving at the track.
Is it true he's gonna pose for Cargirl?
What's your strategy?
- [Crowd gasps] - [Cameras clicking]
What? Did I forget to wipe my mud flaps?
McQueen's driver arrived in California, but McQueen was missing.
- McQueen was reported missing. ...to race an unprecedented...
[male] Sponsor stated they have no idea where he is.
I hope Lightning's OK. I'd hate to see anything bad happen to him.
I don't know what's harder to find, McQueen or a chief who'll work with him!
[German accent] Lightning McQueen must be found at all costs!
They're all asking the same question: Where is McQueen?
[Groaning] Oh, boy.
Where am I?
- Mornin', sleepin' beauty! - Ah!
Boy, I was wonderin' when you was gonna wake up.
Take whatever you want! Just don't hurt me!
A parking boot? Why do I have a parking boot on?
- What's going on here? Please! - [Chuckling] You're funny.
I like you already. My name's Mater.
Mater?
Yeah, like "tuh-mater," but without the "tuh".
- What's your name? - You don't know my name?
Uh...
No, I know your name. Is your name Mater too?
What?
Look, I need to get to California as fast as possible. Where am I?
Where are you? Shoot!
You're in Radiator Springs.
The cutest little town in Carburetor County.
Oh, great. Just great!
Well, if you think that's great, you should see the rest of the town.
You know, I'd love to see the rest of the town!
So if you could just open the gate, take this boot off,
you and me, we go cruisin', check out the local scene...
- Dad-gum! - How'd that be, Tuhmater?
- Cool! - Mater!
What did I tell you about talkin' to the accused?
To not to.
Well, quit your yappin' and tow this delinquent road hazard to traffic court.
Well, we'll talk later, Mater.
[Chuckling] "Later, Mater." That's funny!
Ah!
[Sheriff] The Radiator Springs Traffic Court will come to order!
Hey, you scratched my paint! I oughta take a blowtorch to you, man!
You broke-a the road! You a very bad car!
- Fascist! - Commie!
Officer, talk to me, babe. How long is this gonna take?
I gotta get to California, pronto.
Where's your lawyer?
I don't know. Tahiti maybe. He's got a timeshare there.
When a defendant has no lawyer, the court will assign one to him. Hey!
Anyone want to be his lawyer?
Shoot, I'll do it, Sheriff!
All rise! The Honorable Doc Hudson presiding.
Show-off.
- May Doc have mercy on your soul. - [Door banging]
- [Gasping] - All right,
I wanna know who's responsible for wreckin' my town, Sheriff.
I want his hood on a platter!
I'm gonna put him in jail till he rots! No, check that.
I'm gonna put him in jail till the jail rots on top of him,
and then I'm gonna move him to a new jail and let that jail rot.
I'm...
Throw him out of here, Sheriff.
I want him out of my courtroom. I want him out of our town!
- Case dismissed. - Yes!
Boy, I'm purty good at this lawyerin' stuff.
Sorry I'm late, Your Honor!
Holy Porsche! She's gotta be from my attorney's office.
Hey, thanks for comin', but we're all set.
- He's letting me go. - He's letting you go?
Yeah, your job's pretty easy today.
All you have to do now is stand there and let me look at you.
Listen, I'm gonna cut to the chase. Me, you, dinner. Pi-cha-kow!
- What the? Ow! Oh! - Ka-chow!
- Please! - I know. I get that reaction a lot.
I create feelings in others that they themselves don't understand.
- [Revving] - Agh! Ow!
Oh, I'm sorry. Did I scare you?
A little bit, but I'll be all right.
OK. I'm gonna go talk to the judge.
Do what you gotta do, baby. But listen. Be careful.
Folks around here are not firing on all cylinders, if you know what I mean.
Ka-ching!
Ah!
I'll keep that in mind.
- Hey there, Mater. - Howdy, Sally.
- Hi, folks! - Good morning!
You know her?
She's the town attorney and my fiancee.
What?
Nah, I'm just kiddin'. She just likes me for my body.
You look great. You do something different with your side view mirrors?
What do you want, Sally?
[Sighing] Come on, make this guy fix the road. The town needs this.
No. I know his type. Racecar.
That's the last thing this town needs.
OK, I didn't want to have to do this, Doc, but you leave me no choice.
Fellow citizens, you're all aware of our town's proud history.
Here she goes again.
Radiator Springs, the glorious jewel
strung on the necklace of Route 66, the mother road!
It is our job and our pleasure to take care of the travelers
- on our stretch of that road. - Travelers? What travelers?
Ignore him.
But how, I ask you, are we to care for those travelers
if there is no road for them to drive on?
- Luigi, what do you have at your store? - Tires.
And if no one can get to you?
I won't sell any... tires. I will lose everything!
- Flo, what do you have at your store? - I have gas.
- Lotsa gas! - OK boys, stay with me.
And, Flo, what'll happen if no one can come to your station to buy gas?
I'll go outta business and... we'll have to leave town.
What's gonna happen if Flo leaves town and closes her station?
- [All] Without gas, we're done for! - What?
Don't you think the car responsible should fix our road?
The only guy strong enough to fix that road is Big Al!
Lizzie, Big Al left like, 15 years ago.
Then why are you bringing him up, you lemon?
Oh, he can do it.
He's got the horsepower. So, what do you want him to do?
[All] Fix the road!
- Because we are a town worth fixing! - Yeah!
[All cheer]
[Honking] Order in the court!
Seems like my mind has been changed for me.
- [All] Yeah! - No!
[VW van] Nice ruling.
Oh, I am so not taking you to dinner.
[Chuckling] That's OK, Stickers. You can take Bessie.
Man, you get to work with Bessie!
I'd give my left two lug nuts for somethin' like that.
Bessie? Who's Bessie?
[Gurgling]
This here is Bessie, finest road-pavin' machine ever built.
I'm hereby sentencing you to community service.
You're gonna fix the road under my supervision.
What? This place is crazy!
I know this may be a bad time right now,
but you owe me $32,000 in legal fees.
What?
We're gonna hitch you up to Bessie, and you're gonna pull her nice.
You gotta be kidding me.
You start there where the road begins.
You finish down there where the road ends.
[Mater] Holy shoot!
Whoa, whoa, whoa! How long is this gonna take?
Well, fella does it right, should take him about five days.
Five days?
But I should be in California schmoozing Dinoco right now!
Then if I were you, I'd quit yappin' and start workin'!
- Hook him up, Mater. - Okay-dokey.
[Grunting]
[Tires squealing, engine revving]
[Lightning] Freedom!
Maybe I should've hooked him up to Bessie...
...and then... then took the boot off.
Whoo-hoo!
Goodbye, Radiator Springs, and goodbye, Bessie!
California, here I come! Yeah!
Oh, feel that wind.
Yes!
[Sputtering]
No. No, no, no.
No, no, no, no, no. Outta gas?
How can I be outta gas?
[Chuckling] Boy, we ain't as dumb as you think we are.
[Stuttering] But how did, how did... you?
We siphoned your gas while you were passed out.
- Ka-chow. - Ow, ow, ow, ow.
- Gentlemen. - Sheriff.
Hey, Sheriff.
- Why here? - [Italian] Sono sempre stati qui.
- They were better before. - Stai sempre a parlare.
- Guido! - Red, can you move over?
I want to get a look at that sexy hot rod.
You know, I used to be a purty good whistler.
I can't do it now, of course, on account of sometimes
I get fluid built up in my engine block,
but Doc said he's gonna fix it. He can fix about anything.
That's why we made him the judge.
Boy, you shoulda heard me on Giddy-up, Oom Papa Mow Mow.
Now, I'm not one to brag
but people come purty far to see me get low on the "Mow-Mow".
Oh!
- Aw, man, that's just great! - Hey, what's wrong?
My lucky sticker's all dirty.
Ah, that ain't nothin'. I'll clean it for ya.
- [Snorting, hacking] - No, no, no!
That won't be necessary.
Hey! Hey, big fella! Yeah, you in the red!
I could use a little hose down. Help me wash this off.
Where's he goin'?
Oh, he's a little bit shy, and he hates you for killin' his flowers.
I shouldn't put up with this.
I'm a precision instrument of speed and aerodynamics.
- You hurt your what? - I'm a very famous racecar!
You are a famous racecar? A real racecar?
Yes, I'm a real racecar. What do you think? Look at me.
I have followed racing my entire life. My whole life!
Then you know who I am. I'm Lightning McQueen.
- Lightning McQueen? - Yes! Yes!
I must scream it to the world!
My excitement from the top of someplace very high!
- Do you know many Ferraris? - No, no, no, no, no.
They race on the European circuit. I'm in the Piston Cup!
- [Lightning] What? - Luigi follow only the Ferraris.
Is that what I think it is?
