Flo: What's he up to, Doc?

The King: What're you doin', kid?

McQueen: I think The King should finish his last race.

Mack: Hey, kid! You all right?

Lightning McQueen: I don’t know, Mack. I…I…

Doc Hudson: [takes over for Mack on the headset] I didn’t come all this way to see you quit.

Lightning McQueen: [sees Radiator Springs crew at the pit stop] Doc? Guys, you're here! I can't believe this!

Doc Hudson: I knew you needed a crew chief, but I didn't know it was this bad.

McQueen: I thought you said you'd never come back.

Hudson: Well, I really didn't have a choice. Mater didn't get to say goodbye.

Mater: [yelling into the microphone] Goodbye!!! Okay, I'm good.

Mack: YOU'RE HERE! Thank the manufacturer, you're alive!

Lightning McQueen: Mack?!

Mack: Actually, this is my good side here.

McQueen: [Mack's trailer door opens] Harv! Harv! Harv?

Harv (US): Kid, I'm over here!

Harv (UK): Oi! I'm over here!

McQueen: How you doin', buddy?

Harv: My star client disappears off the face of the earth! How do you think I'm doing?!

McQueen: Harv, I can explain...

Harv (US): I'm doing great! You're everywhere, baby, radio, TV, the papers! You can't buy this kind of publicity! What do you need me for?! That's just a figure of speech, by the way, you signed a contract. Where are you?! I can't even find you on my GPS.

Harv (UK): I'm doing great, you're everywhere, radio, TV, papers! You can't buy this kind of publicity! What do you need me for?! Uh, oh, that is just a figure of speech obviously I mean, you did sign a contract. But where are you?! I can't even find you on my sat nav!

McQueen: I'm in this little town called Radiator Springs. You know Route 66? It's still here!

Harv (US): Yeah, that's great, kid. Playtime is over, pal. While the world's been trying to find you, Dinoco has had no one to woo. Who are they gonna woo?

Harv (UK): Yeah, yeah, that's great, but listen, mate, playtime is over. While the world's been trying to find you, Dinoco has had no one to woo. Who are they gonna woo?

McQueen: Chick...

Harv: [shows news report] Bingo, in fact, check out what's on the plasma right now.

Cameramen: Show us the thunder!

Chick: You want thunder? You want thunder?! Ka-chicka, ka-chicka! Ka-chicka!

McQueen: Hey, that's my bit!

Harv (US): You've gotta get to Cali, pronto! Just get out of Radiation Stinks now, or Dinoco is history, you hear me?

Harv (UK): You've gotta get to LA, pronto! Just get out of Radiation Stinks now, or Dinoco is history, seriously!

McQueen: Just give me a second here, Harv.

Harv (US): No, no, wait, where are you going?! Get in the trailer, baby! Kid, you wa... You want a bigger trailer?!

Harv (UK): No, no, no, no! Hey, wait, where are you going?! Get in the trailer!

McQueen: [sees Sally] Sally, I... I want you to... Look, I wish... Ahhhh.

Sally: Thank you. Thanks for everything.

McQueen: Ah. Haha. It just a road.

Sally: No. It was much more than that.

Mack: Hey, kid! We gotta go! Harv's goin CRAZY! He's gonna have me fired if I don't get you in the truck right now!

McQueen: Mack, just... hold it for...

Sally: You should go.

McQueen: I know, but...

Sally: Good luck in California. I hope you find what you're looking for.

Lightning McQueen: This organic fuel is great! Why haven't I heard about it before?

Fillmore: It's a conspiracy, man! The oil companies have got a grip on the Government!! They're feeding us a bunch of lies, man!

McQueen: Okay, I'll take a case!

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

Doc Hudson: [turns around and drives off] Good riddance.

Flo: He's gone?

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

Ramone: [hears Sheriff sniffling] Oh, dude, are you crying?

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

Lightning McQueen: [appearing out of nowhere] What's wrong with Red?

Mater: [completely oblivious to Lightning's presence, while everyone gasps; gasps; everyone (except Sheriff) laughs] 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. Wait a minute! 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.

McQueen: Doc, hold it! Seriously, your driving's incredible!

Doc: [sarcastically] Wonderful. Now go away.

McQueen: Hey, I mean it. You've still got it!

Hudson: I'm asking you to leave.

McQueen: Come on. I'm a racecar, you're... a much older racecar, but under the hood, you and I are the same!

Doc: We are NOT the same! Understand? Now, get out!

McQueen: How could a car like you quit at the top of your game?!

Doc: [shocked; shows Lightning an old newspaper] You think I quit?

McQueen: Right... your big wreck in 54.

Doc: [defeated] They quit on me. When I finally got put together, I went back expecting a big welcome. You know what they said? "You're history." Moved right on to the next rookie standing in line. There was a lot left in me. I never got a chance to show em. I keep that to remind me never to go back. I just never expected that that world would... would find me here.

McQueen: Hey look, Doc, I'm not them.

Doc: Oh yeah?

McQueen: No, I'm not.

Doc: [Lightning looks defeated since he can't think about the last time, he never cared for someone else; Doc nods knowingly] When is the last time you cared about something except yourself, hot rod? You name me one time. And I will take it all back. Uh-huh? I didn't think so. These are good folk around here, who care about one another. I don't want em depending on someone they can't count on.

McQueen: [shocked and disgusted] Oh, like you? You've been here how long, and your friends don't even know who you are? Who's caring about only himself?

Doc: [angrily; drives away while Lightning glares at him] Just finish that road and get outta here!

Lightning McQueen: No, no, no, no, it's true! He's a real racing legend. He's the Fabulous Hudson Hornet!

Flo: Fabulous? I've never seen Doc drive more than 20 miles an hour. I mean, have you ever seen him race?

McQueen: No, but I wish I could. They say that he was amazing. He won three Piston Cups!

Mater: [spits out oil that he's drinking] He did WHAT in his cup?!

Lightning McQueen: FREEDOM!

Mater: [Doc Hudson glares at him] Maybe I should've... hooked him up to Bessie and then... then took the boot off.

Lightning McQueen: [driving away from Radiator Springs; Continues speeding away; Engine begins to sputter; Stops right in front of the Sheriff and Sally Carrera] Woo-hoo! Goodbye Radiator Springs, and goodbye Bessie! California, here I come! Oh feel that wind... Yes! No... no... no no no! Out of gas?! How could I be out of gas?!

Sheriff: [Chuckles] Boy, we ain't as dumb as you think we are.

Lightning McQueen: Bu-bu-but... but hhhhow did-?

Sally Carrera: [Does Lightning's bid maneuver] We siphoned your gas while you were passed out. Kachow!

Lightning McQueen: [Sheriff chuckles and Lightning huffs in defeat] Ow, ow, ow, ow!

Doc Hudson: [finally spots Lightning] All right, I wanna know who's responsible for wrecking my town, Sheriff. I want his hood on a platter! I'm gonna put him in jail til he rots. No, check that... I'm gonna put him in jail til the jail rots on top of him, then I'm gonna move him to a new jail and let that jail rot. I'm - Throw him outta here, Sheriff! I want him out of my courtroom. I want him out of our town! Case dismissed.

Lightning McQueen: Yes!

Mater: Boy, I'm pretty good at this lawyerin stuff!

Chick Hicks: [pauses] The Piston Cup? It's mine, dude. It's mine. Hey fellas, how do you think I'd look in Dinoco Blue? Dinoco Blue! Ah ha ha ha!

Lightning McQueen: In your dreams, Thunder.

Hicks: Yeah, right. "Thunder"? What's he talking about, "thunder"?

McQueen: Oh, you know, cause Thunder always comes after Lightning! Ka-ping! Ka-pow!

Lightning McQueen: [concentrating; screen then shows some race cars whizzing past on a racetrack, then goes back to dark again; screen then shows Lightning from the back of his left side as his car accelerates and gains on a race car, then the screen goes dark again; screen then shows race cars whizzing along the racetrack as the camera moves to the right, then goes dark again] Okay, here we go. Focus. Speed. I am speed. One winner, forty-two losers. I eat losers for breakfast. Breakfast? Wait, maybe I should have had breakfast? A little breaky could be good for me- No, no, no, stay focused. Speed. I'm faster than fast, quicker than quick! I am Lightning!

Mack: [pounds on his trailer door] Hey, Lightning, you ready?

Lightning McQueen: Oh, yeah. Lightning's ready.

Mater: You know I used to know this girl Doreen? She had a body that was just like a Jaguar. Only she was a truck! I used to crash into her just so I could spoke to her.
