Bomb Threat in a High-Stakes Situation
Holley
Mater, we've gotta get that bomb off you.
Lightning
Bomb?
Mater
Yeah, they strapped it to me to kill you as a backup plan.
[explains to Lightning]
Lightning
Backup plan? Mater, who put a bomb on you?
[Finn arrives with Professor Z strapped up]
Professor Zündapp
You. Why didn't my death ray KILL YOU?!
[to Lightning]
Lightning
Death ray?!
[shocked/flabbergasted]
Finn
Turn off the bomb (please), Zündapp!
Professor Zündapp
Are you all so dense? It's voice-activated. Everything is voice-activated these days.
Mater
Deactivate! Deactivate!
Bomb Computer
Voice denied.
[activates countdown timer for 5:00; Mater gasps in shock]
Finn
(Mater, what's wrong?)
Professor Zündapp
Oops! Did I forget to mention it can only be disarmed by the one who activated it?
[scoffs]
Holley
Say it!
[pulls out her taser gun; sternly]
Prof. Zündapp
Deactivate.
[nonchalantly]
Bomb Computer
Voice denied.
[timer subtracts 1 minute]
Mater
Whoa!
[alarmed]
Professor Zündapp
Oh. I'm not the one who activated it. Would anyone else like to try?
[his last words in the film; gets tazed by Holley and knocked out unconscious]
Finn
You read my mind.
[smirks]
Holley
Ugh, he was getting on my nerves.
Lightning
What do we do?
Victor
It's very simple. You blow up.
[The whole group of lemons surround the four]
Lightning
I'm gonna go out on a limb here - these are the guys that want me dead, correct?
Vladimir
It's nothing personal.
Mater
Fellers, listen, I know what you're goin through. Everybody's been laughin at me my whole life too. But becoming powerful and rich beyond your wildest dreams ain't gonna make you feel better.
[The lemons seem to take this in]
J. Curby
Yeah, but it's worth a shot!

Understanding the Concept of a Rendezvous
Lightning
There you are. Where have you been?
Mater
What's a "rendezvous"?
Luigi
Uh, it's like a date.
Mater
A date?
Lightning
Mater, what's going on?
Mater
Well, what's goin on is I got me a date tomorrow.
Guido
Non ci credo. (I don't believe you.)
Luigi
Guido don't believe you.
Mater
Well, believe it. My new girlfriend just said so. Hey, there she is! Hey! Hey, lady! See you tomorrow!
[sees Holley and waves]
Guido
Ancora non ci credo. (I still don't believe you.)
Luigi
Guido still don't believe you.

A Far-Fetched Adventure Unfolds
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.
Minny
That's a very entertaining story, young man.
Van
Oh, Minny, please. Come on! None of this happened. Rocket jets, flying spy cars--
Holley
No, you're quite right. It does sound a bit far-fetched.
[out of nowhere; landing]
Mater
Holley! What are you doin here?
Holley
Hello, Mater! It's so good to see you again.
Mater
Finn!
Luigi
So, you got-a my email.
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--
Holley
I'm Mater's girlfriend. It's so nice to meet you all.
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]
Sarge
Once big oil, always big oil... man.

Mater Confronts a Critical Situation
Finn
Hold your fire! He can't disarm it! Mater, I don't know what you're doing, but stand down now!
[arriving; Holley arrives]
Mater
This ain't nothin at all like Radiator Springs.
Lightning
Mater, just cut to the chase.
Mater
Okay. It's him!
[points to Miles]
Miles
What? Me? You've got to be crazy.
Mater
I figured it out when I realized y'all attached this tickin time bomb with Whitworth bolts, the same bolts that hold together that old British engine from the photograph. Holley, show that picture!
Holley
Okay.
[shows the holographic photo of the mysterious hood engine]
Mater
And then I remembered what they said about old British engines: "If there ain't no oil under em, there ain't no oil (over) in em".
Miles
What is he talking about?
Mater
It was you leakin oil at the party in Japan. You just blamed it on me.
Miles
Electric cars don't use oil, you twit!
Mater
Then you're fakin it. You didn't convert to no electric. When we pop that hood, we gonna see that engine from that picture right there.
[Miles realizes that he knows the truth, then backs away]
Miles
This lorry's crazy! He's gonna kill us all! Stay away!
[panicking; backs up to the edge of the stage]
Holley
But Sir Axlerod created the race, Mater. Why would he want to hurt anyone?
Mater
To make Allinol look bad, so everybody'd go back to usin oil. I mean, he said it himself with that disguised voice.
Miles
Disguised voice"? What are you talking about? You're nuts, you are!
Prince William
This is going nowhere fast. We really should go, Grandmother.
The Queen
One moment. I would like to see where this is going.
Finn
Mater, he created Allinol.
Mater
Yeah, but what if he found that huge oil field just as the world was tryna find somethin else? What if he came up with Allinol just to make alternative fuel look bad?
Miles
What if"? You're basing this on a "what if"?!
[as the bomb's countdown goes from 19 to 18 seconds]
Security Guard
Okay, that's it.
Another Security Guard
Right, lads, clear out!
[the other guards evacuate, followed by the Queen and the spectators]
Miles
Wait, somebody save me! The lorry's crazy! Keep away, you idiot!
Finn
Mater?!
[shocked]
Holley
Mater!
[worried]
Miles
Someone, do something!
Car in Crowd
Drive away!
[alarmed; Mater stands his ground, glaring at Miles, while everyone braces for the explosion including Finn Holley and Lightning]
Miles
You're insane, you are! DEACTIVATE!
[the bomb counts down at 3 to 2 seconds; The bomb's countdown stops at 1 second, then shows the words "Voice Accepted"]
Bomb Computer
Bomb deactivated. Have a nice day, Sir Axlerod:).
Finn
The engine from the photo.
Holley
It's a perfect match.
[compares the image]
Miles
How did the tow truck figure it out?
[his last words; still shocked; getting escorted away by the police cruisers, offscreen]
Lightning
It's official. You're coming to all my races from now on.
[to Mater]
Mater
Now you're talkin'!

The Dangers of Allinol Revealed
Grem
I got to admit, you tricked us real good.
Acer
And we don't like bein tricked. Hey! What's so funny?
[Rod chuckles]
Rod
Well, you know, I was just wearing a disguise. You guys are stuck looking like that. Allinol? Thanks, fellas! I hear this stuff is good for you.
[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.]
Zündapp
So, you think. Allinol by itself is good for you. But after microscopic examination, I have found that it has one small weakness. When hit with an electromagnetic pulse, it becomes extremely dangerous.
[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]
Grem
Smile for the camera.
[moves a camera-like EMP generator forward]
Rod
Is that all you want? I got a whole act.
Zündapp
You were very interested in this camera on the oil platform. Now, you will witness what it really does.
Rod
Whatever you say, Professor.
Acer
You talked up a lot of cars last night. Which one's your associate?
[as a Pacer comes up with a TV screen showing a picture of Rod with a Japanese pink car while in disguise]
Rod
Your mother. Oh, no, I'm sorry, it was your sister. You know, I can't tell them apart these days.
Grem
Could I start it now, Professor Z?
Zündapp
Go 50% power. camera is actually an electromagnetic pulse emitter.
[Grem then pushes a lever beneath the EMP generator that causes the lens to light up and make whirring sounds, going to 50% power]
Acer
What about her? Did you give it to her?
[showing Rod a picture of him with Shigeko]
Zündapp
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.]
Acer
How about him? Did you talk to him?!
[showing Rod a picture of him with a Japanese red Ferrari at a sushi stand]
Rod
What do I care?! I can replace an engine *block?*
[as smoke gets emitted from his tailpipes]
Zündapp
You may be able to, but after full impact of the pulse, unfortunately, there will be nothing to replace.
[as Grem pushes the generator's lever to 75% power]
Acer
How about him? Does he have it?
[showing Rod a picture of him with Mater in the bathroom; Rod trembles upon seeing the image, which Zündapp then notices and looks at the picture.]
Zündapp
That's him. He's the 1.
Grem
Roger that, Professor Z.
Rod
NO!
[his last words before he's exploded]
Zündapp
Yes, sir. We believe the infiltrator has passed along sensitive information.
[through cell phone to the Lemon Kingpin]
Lemon Kingpin
Right away!
[through phone]
Zündapp
I will take care of it before any damage can be done. The project is still on schedule. You will find the second agent and kill him.
[hangs up; 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]
Brent Mustangburger
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?
David
Well, Brent, all three of these street courses are classic round-the-house racetracks. 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.
[the camera shows the labeled in Japan, Italy and England]
Darrell
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.
Brent
French rally car Raoul ÇaRoule is counting on a big boost heading through there.
Darrell
And don't forget Lightning McQueen! His mentor, the Hudson Hornet, was one of the greatest dirt track racers of all time. In my opinion, McQueen is the best all-around racer in this competition.
David
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.]
Brent
It's time for find out. The racers are locking into the grid.
Lightning
Speed. I am speed.
[closes his eyes as a pre-race ritual]
Francesco
Really? You are speed? Then Francesco is triple speed. Francesco is triple speed. Oh-ho! Francesco likes-a this, McQueen. It's-a really getting him into the zone!
[laughs mockingly; closes his eyes; revs his engine]
Lightning
He is so getting beat today.
[complains about Francesco; revs his engine; the lights turn from red to green, and the first race is underway]

The Value of Friendship in Conflict
Uncle Topolino
You know, back when Guido and Luigi used to work for me, they would fight over everything. They fight over what Ferrari was the best Ferrari, which one of them looked more like a Ferrari. There were even some non-Ferrari fights. So, tell me them, va bene! It's okay to fight. Everybody fights now and then, especially best friends. But you gotta make up fast. No fight more important than friendship. Chi trova un'amico, trova un tesoro.

Friendship in the Face of Defects
Mater
Well, dad-gum, you're leakin oil again, must be yer gaskets. Hey, but look on the bright side. This is yer 10th tow this month, so that means it's on the house.
Otis
You're the only one that's nice to lemons like me, Mater.
Mater
Hey, don't sweat it. Shoot, these things happen to everybody, Otis.
Otis
But you never leak oil!
Mater
Yeah, but I ain't perfect. Don't tell nobody, but I think my rust is tryna show through.

Holley
Mater, stop!
Mater
No way! You could get hurt.

Francesco's Simple Race Strategy Explained
Photographer
Francesco!
Darrell
Francesco, over here. Hey, what was your strategy today?
Francesco
Strategia?! Francesco needs-a no strategy, it’s very simple: You start the race, wait for Lightning McQueen to choke, pass him, then win. Francesco always-a wins, it’s-a boring.
[Lightning simply rolls his eyes]
Darrell
I gotta tell you, dude, you were in trouble for a while. That dirt track section had you crawling.
[Lightning notices Mater returning to the pits and sneaks off to go talk to him]
Francesco
To truly crush one's dream, you must first raise their hopes very high.
Mater
Yelling"? Oh, you thought-- Oh! That's funny right there. No, see, that's cause I've seen these two fellers doing some sort of karate street performance. It was nutso. One of em even had a flamethrower.
[chuckles]
Mater

Mater

Hey, there he is!
Reporter #2
McQueen, you had it in the bag!
Reporter #3

Brent
Lightning McQueen loses in the last lap to Francesco Bernoulli in the first race of the World Grand Prix. And three, count em, three cars flamed out, leaving some to suggest that their fuel, Allinol, might be to blame.
[on TV]
Miles
Allinol is safe! Alternative fuel is safe! There is no way my fuel caused these cars to flame out.
[interviewed]
Darrell
Well, the jury may still be out on whether Allinol caused these accidents, but one thing's for sure: Lightning McQueen blew this race!
Mater
Ah, doggone it. This is about my hook, ain't it? I know I should have checked it, but I can't, really. Look. It's attached to me. Hey, I know you. You’re that feller from the karate demonstration.
[they go into the waiting room; Finn takes off his disguise]
Mater
Let's just say I'm a triple AAA affiliated. Yeah, I know some karate. I don't wanna brag or nuttin', but I got me a black fan belt. You wanna see some moves I made up?
Mater
This first one, I can reach into a car's hood, pull out his battery, and show it to him before he stalls. I call it, "What I accidentally did to my friend Luigi once." Hey! Hi-yah-pah! Hi-yah!
[does some karate moves, crushing an oil can]
Grem
There he is!
Mater
Hi-hi-tah! Huh! Look, I probably ought to go. I'm about to miss my flight.

But their insults just give us strength. Because today, my friends, that... all... ends!
