He sighed.
"Oh, boy. Oh... Where am I?"
"Morning, sleeping beauty!" someone said causing him to scream.
There was someone outside the impound gate.
The man chuckled. "Boy, I was wondering when you was gonna wake up!"
"Take whatever you want! Just don't hurt me!" Lightning said trying to reverse, then he felt a bump and heard a thud.
He noticed a wall behind himself.
"A room? Why am I in a room? What's going on here?! Please!" he said.
The other person chuckled.
"You're funny, I like you already. My name's Mater."
"Mater?" Lightning said confused.
"Yeah, like 'tuh-Mater', but without the 'tuh'! What's your names?"
"Don't you know my name?" Lightning asked shocked.
"Um, no, I know your name, is your name 'Mater' too?" Mater asked.
"What?! Look, I need to get to California as fast as possible, where am I?" Lightning said.
"Where are you?! Shoot! You're in Radiator Springs! The cutest little town in Carburetor County." Mater said while Lightning looked around to see a few old buildings.
"Oh, great. Just great!" he said.
"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 door, let me out, you and me, we go cruising, check out the local scene-"
"Dad-gum!" Mater said smiling and got ready to grab the key to the room.
"How'd that be, Tuhmater?" Lightning asked watching Mater about to take the key.
"Cool!"
"MATER!" Sheriff said.
Then Mater stopped and backed away as Sheriff arrived. Lightning then frowned and some members of them feel sorry for Mater while some of them look confused.
"What did I tell you about talking to the accused?!"
"To not to."
Sheriff took out the keys to open the door.
"Well, quit yer yapping and bring this delinquent road hazard to court."
"Well, we'll talk later, Mater." Mater whispered to Lightning then chuckled as he had Lightning and his car behind him with his hands now locked. "Later, Mater." That's funny!
When they got to Radiator Springs Courthouse & Fire Department Sheriff's voice is heard.
"The Radiator Springs Court will come to order!" Sheriff said.
Most of the other Radiator Springs residents were inside and were angry with Lightning for what he had done.
"Hey, you scratched my car's paint! I ought take a blowtorch to you, man!" Ramone said.
"You broke-a the road! You a very bad person!" Luigi said as Lightning moved up while getting pushed by Mater into the courtroom to the accused space while the team followed him.
"Fascist!" Filmore said.
"Commie!" Sarge said.
Lightning looked at Sheriff. "Officer, talk to me, babe. How long is this gonna take? I gotta get to California, pronto."
"Where's your lawyer?" Sheriff asked.
"I don't know. Tahiti maybe. He's got a timeshare there." Lightning said shrugging.
"When a defendant has no lawyer, the court will assign one to him." Sheriff then looked at the other residents. "Hey! Anyone want to be his lawyer?"
All of the residents move back, except Mater.
"Shoot, I'll do it, Sheriff!" Mater said and moved beside Lightning and our heroes.
"All rise! The Honorable Doc Hudson presiding." Sheriff said.
Everyone stood up.
"May Doc have mercy on your soul." Sheriff said.
Then the door bang as Doc Hudson came in, showing him from his side as he walked to his bench. Lightning gasped as he heard the door bang.
"Alright, I wanna know who's responsible for wrecking my town, Sheriff. I wanna put his head on a platter! I'm gonna put him in jail till he rots! No, check that." Doc said.
Lightning gulped while Doc got on some steps and was up to the top of his bench.
"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-" he said then noticed Lightning and the team, as Lightning does a nervous grin. "Throw him out of here, Sheriff. I want him out of my courtroom. I want him out of our town! Case dismissed."
"Yes!" Lightning said.
"Boy, I'm purty good at this lawyerin' stuff." Mater said.
Then the door opened as someone else appeared.
"Sorry, I'm late, your honor!" a woman said.
Lightning instantly fell in love with her.
"Holy porsche! She's gotta be from my attorney's office!" he whispered.
The woman then walked into the courtroom as our heroes turned back to the front.
"Hey, thanks for coming, we're all set. He's letting me go." Lightning said.
She stopped and turned to him.
"He's letting you go?" she said shocked.
"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. Ka-chow!"
She groaned and grunted.
"I know, I get that reaction a lot. I create feelings in others that they themselves don't understand."
Sally groaned again.
"Oh, I'm sorry. Did I scare you?" he asked smirking a little.
"Well, a little bit, but I'll be alright." Mater said.
"Okay, I'm gonna go talk to the judge." the woman said and turned around to get to the judge.
"Do what you gotta do, baby. Oh, but listen, be careful. Folks around here are not firing on all cylinders, if you know what I mean."
"I'll keep that in mind." she said to Lightning then looked at Mater. "Hey, there, Mater."
"Howdy, Sally." he said.
Then Lightning's smile turn to frown.
"Hi, folks!" she said to the other Radiator Springs residents, then walked to Doc.
"Good morning, Sally!" the others said.
"Do you know her?" Lightning asked looking at Mater.
"She's the town attorney and my fiancée." he said.
"What?" Lightning asked in shock.
Mater chuckled then smacked Lightning with his hand.
"I'm just kidding. She just likes me for my body."
"Doc, you look great this morning! Did you do something different with your glasses?" Sally said.
"What do you want, Sally?" he asked.
She sighed. "Come on, make this guy fix the road. The town needs this."
"No. I know his type. Racer. That's the last thing this town needs."
'Especially me.' he thought.
"Okay, I didn't want to have to do this, Doc. But you leave me no choice." Then she turned to the other citizens. "Fellow citizens, you're all aware of our town's proud history."
"Here she goes again." Doc said to himself and rubbed his forehead.
"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." she continued.
"Travelers? What travelers?" Sarge said.
"Ignore him." Filmore said.
"But how, I ask you, are we to care for those travelers if there is no road for them to drive on?" she looked at Luigi. "Luigi, what do you have at your store?"
"Tires." he said.
"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 food and drinks. Lotsa food and drinks!" Flo said.
"And, and, Flo, what'll happen if no one can come to your cafe?"
"I'll go outta business and we'll have to leave town!"
"And what's gonna happen to all of us if Flo leaves town and closes her cafe?"
"Without food, we're done for!" a lot of people said.
"What?" Lizzie asked.
"So, don't you think the car responsible should fix our road?"
The only guy strong enough to fix that road is Big Al!" Lizzie said.
"Lizzie, the guy left, like, 15 years ago." Ramone said.
"Then why are you bringing him up, you lemon?"
"Oh, he can do it. He's got the horsepower of a car. So, what do you want him to do?" Sally said.
"Fix the road!" they said.
"Because we are a town worth fixing!" Sally said smiling.
"Yeah!" they all said cheering.
Then Doc started banging his hammer.
"Order in the court! Seems like my mind has been changed for me."
"Yeah!" they all cheered.
"No." Lightning moaned.
"Nice ruling." Filmore said.
"I am so not taking you to dinner." Lightning said while he groaned at Sally.
Sally giggled. "That's OK, Stickers. You can take Bessie."
"Oh, man, you got to work with Bessie, I'd give my left 2-Lug Nuts for something like that!" Mater said.
"Bessie? Who's Bessie?" Lightning asked confused.
So Doc took Lightning and Mater to see Bessie.
"This here is Bessie, finest Road-Paving Machine ever built." Doc said to Lightning. "I'm hereby sentencing you to community service. You're gonna fix the road under my supervision."
"WHAT?! This place is crazy!" he said.
"Hey, I know this may be a bad time right now, but you owe me $32,000 in legal fees." Mater whispered to Lightning.
"What?" he said.
"So we're gonna hitch you up to sweet Bessie, and you're gonna pull her nice." Doc said to Lightning.
"You're gotta be kidding me!"
"You start there where the road begins," he said and walked to where the road begins from the courthouse. "you finish down there where the road ends."
Mater and the team got onto the road, facing towards the end of the town, and has a long swirly crack. Lightning moved his head, and looked straight in front of himself so he can see. Mater looked at the damaged road.
"HOLY SHOOT!" Mater said shocked.
"Whoa, whoa, whoa! How long is this gonna take?!" Lightning asked.
"Well, fella does it right, should take him about 5-days." Doc said.
Mater had towed his car up right after court.
"Okay-dokey." Mater said and tried to get McQueen's parking boot off his car as he watched him do that.
Mater groaned then finally got Lightning's boot off. Suddenly, he quickly move away and into the distance.
"FREEDOM!" Lightning said while he drove.
Doc looked at Mater annoyed, who was shocked.
"Maybe I should've-a hooked him up to Bessie...and then-a...then took the boot off." he said and looked at the team a little red.
Lightning was driving away from Radiator Springs, even driving past a billboard saying "Leaving so soon?"
"WHOO-HOO! Goodbye, Radiator Springs, and goodbye, Bessie! California, here I come! Yeah! Oh, fell that wind! Yes!" he said and saw Sheriff but then, he start sputtering. "No, no, no, no! Outta gas? How can I be outta gas?"
He stopped near the other billboard, where Sheriff and Sally were.
"Boy, we ain't as dumb as you think we are." Sheriff said laughing.
"But, but, but how did...? How did-? You-?" he sputtered.
"We siphoned your cars gas while you were passed out," Sally started then reflects sunlight on her car's wing mirror. "KA-CHOW!"
Lightning was then getting hit in the eyes by the reflected sunlight causing him to groan.
Sheriff started laughing after that.
Later in town,
"Gentlemen." Sheriff said walking to Flo's V8 Cafe where Filmore and Sarge were standing.
"Sheriff." Sarge said when the gas station bell rang.
"Hey, Sheriff." Filmore said.
Luigi and Guido were at Luigi's Casa Della Tires and were arguing about where some tires were put at the moment and before. Red is watering some flowers there.] Why the tires are here?
"Sono sempre stati qui." Guido said in italian.
"They were better well before." Luigi said.
"Stai sempre a parlare." Guido said.
"Guido!" Luigi said.
"Red, can you move over? I want to get looked at that sexy hot rod." Lizzie said to Red.
While Lizzie was talking, Red stopped watering. Then Lightning pulled Bessie slowly along the road between the many old closed shops, laying out tar behind Bessie. Mater was standing on the sidewalk and the whole of are with him.
"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 dough. 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." Mater said.
Then a bubble of tar came out from one of Bessie's pipes, pops, and a little slob of tar lands on Lightning's car's right bolt sticker.
"Aw, man, that's just great!" he said.
"Hey, what's wrong?" Mater asked.
"My lucky sticker's all dirty."
Mater groaned.
"That ain't nothing, I'll clean it for you!" he said then snorted, and hacked.
"No, no, no! That wouldn't be necessary." Lightning said then noticed Red the fire truck, who was watering the same flowers at Luigi's store. "Hey! Hey, big fella! Yeah, you in the red!" Red saw Lightning, and stopped watering. "I could use a little hose down. Help me wash this off."
But instead Red left nervously, pushing the flowers away.
"What, where's he going?" he asked.
"Oh, he's still a little bit shy, and he hates you for killin' his flowers." Mater said.
"I shouldn't have to put up with this! I'm a precision instrument of speed and aerodynamics!"
"You hurt your what?" Mater asked confused.
"I'm a very famous racer!"
Then Luigi and Guido came over.
"You are a famous race car? A real race car?" Luigi asked.
"Yes, I'm a real racer. What do you think? Look at me and my car." Lightning snapped.
"I have followed racing my entire life of my whole life!"
"Then you know who I am. I'm Lightning McQueen."
"Lightening McQueen!" Luigi said.
"YES! YES!"
"I must scream it to the world! My excitement from the top of someplace very high! Do you know many Ferraris?" he asked excited.
"No, no, no. They race on the European circuit. I'm in the Piston Cup!"
Then Luigi and Guido frowned.
"What?" Lightning asked.
"Luigi follow only the Ferraris."
Then they walked back to their store. Lightning looked sadly at not being known because of Luigi watching just the Ferrari racing.
"Is that what I think it is?" Flo said.
Then man and woman in a van were in the distance, driving towards the town.
"Customers. Customers! Customers, everyone! Customers! Okay!" Sally said excited.
"Customers?" Lizzie said.
"All right, everybody calm down for a long time. Just remember what we rehearsed. Make sure your 'Open, please come in' signs are out. And you all know what to do. All right, nobody panics. Here we go!" Sally said while Luigi and Guido smile glad about what they just heard.
Ramone moved his body up while Mater gasped and walked to the crossroad. Sarge and Fillmore started walking to their stores.
"Vincent, I just don't see any on-ramp anywhere." Minny said.
"Minny, I know exactly where we are." Vincent said.
"Yeah, we're in the middle of nowhere."
"Honey, please."
Then Sally walked in front of them.
"Hello. Welcome to Radiator Springs, gateway to Ornament Valley. Legendary for its quality service and friendly hospitality. How can we help you?" she said smiling.
"We don't need anything, thank you very much." Vincent said and started to drive past Sally.
"Whoa, honey ask her direction to the Interstate." Minny said while Sally follows.
"There's no need to ask for directions. Minny, I know exactly where we're going." he said.
"He did the same thing on our trip to Shakopee. You know, we were headed over there for the Crazy Days, and we..." Minny said to Sally.
"Okay, okay. Really. We're just peachy, okay?" he said and chuckled.
"What you really need is the sweet taste of my homemade, lemonade." Filmore said.
"No, it doesn't agree with my tank." Vincent said chuckling again.
"We're just trying to find the Interstate." Minny said.
"Good to see you, Soldier! Come on by Serge's Surplus Hut for all your government surplus needs." Sarge said.
"Oh, honey, surplus!" she said.
"I think we have too much surplus."
"I do have a map over the Cozy Cone Motel. And if you do stay, we offer a free Lincoln Continental breakfast." Sally said.
"Honey, she's got a map." Minny said.
"I don't need a map! I have the GPS. Never need a map again, thank you."
"How 'bout somethin' to drink? Stop at Flo's V8 Cafe. Finest drinks on Route 66." Flo said.
"No, we just top off." he said.
"And if you need tires, stop by Luigi's Casa Della Tires, home of the Leaning Tower of Tires." Luigi said juggling tires while he talks and ends with most of them in a pile with one standing up on top.
"We're just trying to find the Interstate." Minny said.
"But you do need a paint job man. Ramone will paint you up right. Hey, anything you want! You know, like a flame job." Ramone said.
"No, thanks..." Minny said.
"Maybe ghost flames! You like old school pinstripin'? Von Dutch style ha?" he continued and lifted his rear end up in front and Van and Minny gasping.
"Oh, honey, look. Von Dutch." Minny said.
Vincent started laughing.
"Okay, no." he said then chuckled, and started to drive away along with Minny. "We're gonna be going now, okay?"
Then Lizzie put a bumper sticker attached to her hand onto Vincent's bumper. Van turned his head towards Lizzie.
"A little somethin' to remember us by, okay?" she said laughing.
Vincent laughed again.
"Okay!" he said and drove away along with Minny.
"Come back soon, okay? I mean, you know where we are!" Sally said then giggles. "Tell your friends!
"Yes. You bet." Vincent said.
"Thanks again, folks. Bye-bye now." Minny said.
"Psst! Psst! Hey! Hey, hey, hey! I know how to get to the Interstate!" Lightning said.
"Oh, do ya?" Minny said in hope.
"Minny, no." Vincent said.
"Yeah, yeah, yeah. No, not really. But listen. I'm Lightning McQueen, the famous racer. I'm being held here against my will." Lightning said and saw Vincent grin as Minny smiled at him. "And I need you to call my team, so they can rescue me, and get me to California in time for me to win The Piston Cup. Do you understand?"
Vincent and Minny just sat there for about three seconds of silence. Then their smiles turned into frowns and they just left.
"No, no, no, no, no! No, It's the truth! I'm telling you! You gotta help me! Don't leave me here! I'm in hillbilly hell! My IQ's dropping by the second! I'M BECOMING ONE OF 'EM!"
Sally sighed and then talked to the other. "Okay, don't worry. They know where we are now. They're gonna tell their friends. You'll see."
"And we'll be back for our Hank Williams marathon..." the radio started.
"That's good." Sally said as the others walked away.
"...after a Piston Cup update. Still no sign of Lightning McQueen. Meanwhile, Chick Hicks arrived in California and today became the first car to spend practice time on the track."
"Yeah, well it's just nice to get out here before the other competitors. You know, get a head start. Gives me an edge." Chick said through the radio.
Lightning was shocked as Chick talks. Electronic music playing as he daydreamed of Chick instead being sponsored by Dinoco.
Chick was front of Dinoco's stage touching Tex Dinoco with his tire, as he saw them and the Dinoco gang at the Los Angeles International Speedway laughing. Then he saw Chick overtaking The King in the race, The King was shocked, as he overtakes The King. Chick then crosses the finish line, and we then see him with his trophy and two Dinoco girls beside him. Then it shows his car's paint being changed to blue, removing most of his decals and replacing the Hostile Tank over Bank logo with Dinoco's. It shows the text saying 'The new face of' above Chick and Tex before the text 'Dinoco' covers the other text. Then the text 'The King' was changing to a logo of Chick with the text 'Chick' and zooming out to show the Dinoco helicopter Rotor Turbo sky winking on top of the stage with pictures of Chick all over it along with his name and the text 'Chick likes Dinoco'. It then shows Chick posing in the same studio as with Lightning in his previous daydream. Then Chick was on the covers of the same magazines, and then he was with Mia and Tia in Dinoco paint on the same red carpet being surrounded by the same cheering crowd. Then it shows the text 'Chick Thunder Hicks'. It shows Chick flying through the air. Then the two magnets pulled together and the text 'Chick Magnet' Then it shows Chick inside the same building near the Hollywood Sign, which he is between Mia and Tia painted gold. Mia and Tia chatter and giggle and then we see Mia and Tia pulled towards Chick like a magnet.
"Yeah! Hey, McQueen... Eat your heart out." Chick said.
Then his daydream ended as he came back and gasped.
"Oh! Mater, let me get this straight. I can go when this road is done. That's the deal, right?"
"That's what they done did said." he said shrugging.
"Okay, outta my way. I got a road to finished."
He grunted and rev his car's engine then started to move at his normal speed. Bits of tar came out of Bessie as he drove faster. Mater and the others watched in shocked at seeing him move.
"He's done!" Mater said when he got in Doc's office.
"Done?" Doc said a little surprised.
"Ahmhm." Mater said nodding.
"It's only been an hour." Doc said and stood up to follow Mater.
Lightning was at the end of the construction zone, glad at laying tar across the whole road as the others were standing in front of him and looking shocked.
"I'm done. Look, I'm finished. Just say thank you, and I'll be on my way. That's all I gotta say." Lightning said.
"WHOO HOO! I'm the first one on the new road! UH OH!" Mater said as he drove onto the road, and vibrated as he moved over the bumpy tar, and several objects fell off. "It rides purty smooth." he continued as his truck vibrated.
"It looks awful!" Sally said.
"Well, it matches the rest of the town." Lightning said.
"Oh!" she said.
Red blubbered, sobbed, and ran away.
"Red?" she said.
Red continued sobbing, and disappeared as he ran around the impound, knocking over a pile of tires. Sally then turned to Lightning.
"Who do you think you are?"
"Look! Doc said when I finish, I could go! That was the deal!"
Doc started walking up.
"The deal was you fix the road, not making it worse. Now, scrape it off! Start over again." he said.
"Hey, look, grandpa, I'm not a bulldozer. I'm a racer."
"Ho, ho, ho! Is that right? Then why don't we just have a little race? Me and you.
'There's no way he's gonna win with dirt.' he thought.
"What?" Sally said shocked.
Lightning chuckled. "Me and you. Is that a joke?"
"If you win, you go and I fix the road. If I win, you do the road my way." he said with his arms crossed.
"Doc, what're you doin'?" Sheriff asked confused.
Lightning started laughing. "I don't mean to be rude here Doc, but your car probably goes zero to sixty in like what? Three-point five years?"
"Then I reckon you ain't got nothin' to worry about."
"You know what old timer? That's a wonderful idea. Let's race."
A few minutes later they were on a dirt road near which is a rock resembling the landmark of and a classic Pontiac hood ornament. Sheriff was in front of them, telling them the rules. The other Radiator Springs residents and the whole of are seen attending. Luigi and Guido were wearing Ferrari merchandise, excited with watching a race. Luigi was waving a Ferrari flag on his antenna. Lightning was stretching his hands.
"Gentlemen, this will be a one-lap race. You will drive to Willy's Butte, go around Willy's Butte and come back. There will be no bumpin', no cheatin', no spittin', no bittin', no road rage, no maimin', no oil slickin', no pushin', no shovin', no backstabbin', no road-hoggin' and no lollygaggin'." Sheriff said walking around.
"Speed. I'm speed. Float like a Cadillac, sting like a Beemer." Lightning whispered to Mater.
"My friend Guido, he dreams to give a real race car a pit stop!" Luigi said laughing.
Then Guido turned up.
"Pit stop!" he said excited.
Lightning groaned and chuckled. "The race is only one lap, guys. Uno lappo!" Luigi's smile then turned into a frown, while Guido is still shaking happily. "Don't need any help. I work solo mio."
"Fine. Race your way."
Then he walked away to join the others, Guido was still standing there shaking happily.
"No pit stoppo. Comprendo?"
"Okay." Guido said then walked away to join the others.
"Gentlemen. Start your engines!" Sheriff said looking at the two of them.
Doc started his car's engine, which sputtered, and smoke puffed out of his car's tailpipe. Then Lightning's revs his car's engine furiously.
"Hijole! Check that out!" Ramone said.
"Whoa." Filmore said.
"Emm, emm." Flo said shaking her head.
"Great idea, Doc. Now the road will never get done." Sally said shaking her head.
"Luigi?" Sheriff said then joined the others as Luigi walked onto the road with his Ferrari flag to start the race.
Luigi chuckled.
"On your mark, get set. Uno for the money, due for the show, tre to get ready, and quattro to..." While Luigi is talking, the screen does a closeup of Lightning and Doc's eyes. Lightning's eyes move towards Doc, whose eyes look furious. Luigi as Lightning reved his engine. "I can't believe it..." Then he waves his flag. "Go!"
Lightning then starts off, and races towards Willy's Butte and leaving a pile of dust. Luigi laughed.
"Yee ha! Ha ha ha!" Doc said.
"Yeah." Sally said.
"Huh?" Luigi said as the dust cleared, but Doc was still there, not moving. "Doc, the flag means go. Remember the flag. Here we go. Go."
But Doc still didn't move.
"Um... Doc, what are you doing, man?" Ramone asked.
"Oh, dear. It would seem I'm off to a poor start. Well, better late than never. Come on, Mater. Might need a little help." Doc said.
"Um, okay." he said confused then hopped onto his truck and drove alongside Doc.
"You got your tow cable on your truck?"
Mater was still confused but pointed at his tow cable. "Well, yeah. I always got my tow cable on my truck. Why?"
"Oh, just in case."
Meanwhile Lightning was driving around the first curve, his window open and towards the final turn. His front wheels turned left, but he then got shocked as instead of going left, he went right, fell off the side and towards a cactus patch in the valley.
"AH, OW, OW, OW, OW, NO, NO, NO, NO, NO, NO, NO!" he screamed then hit the cacti.
"Oh, man! Ow!" Ramone said.
"Whoa. Bad trip, man." Filmore said.
Then Doc and Mater turned up to the cliff.
"Hey! Was that floating like a Cadillac, or was that stinging like a Beemer? I'm confused." he said while Lightning tried to revers out of the cactus but couldn't budge.
Mater chuckled.
"You drive like you fix roads." Lightning frowned angrily while he tried to get out and listened to Doc. "Lousy!" Then he looked at Mater. "Have fun fishing, Mater."
Then he drove off thinking.
'That kid is going to take a while to learn how to grow up. But maybe he'll at least start to while he's here.'
Mater backed up, took out his tow cable, and threw his hook towards Lightning's car, then grabbed onto his rear end. Then Mater pulled it out of the cactus and continued to chuckle a little.
"I'm startin' to think he knowed you was gonna crash!" he said while he did that.
"Thank you, Mater. Thank you." he said as he got pulled up the side of the valley.
After that Lightning was scraping the tar off the road with a shovel, as the other people watched him.
"I can make a little turn on dirt. You think?" he said then grunts as he scrapes another bit of tar. "No. And now I'm a day behind. I'm never gonna get outta here!"
"Hey, ese! Your car needs a new paint job, man!" Ramone said.
"No, thank you."
"How 'bout some organic juice?" Filmore asked.
"That freak juice?" Sarge asked.
"Pass."
"Whoo! Watchin' him workin' is makin' me thirsty." Flo said to Mater. "Anybody else want somethin' to drink?"
"Nah, not me, Flo. I'm on one of them there special diets." he said a few bits of spit coming out of him as he sayed 'special'. "I'm a precisional instrument of speed and air-matics."
"You race like you fix roads." Lightning said groaning. "I'll show him." he started groaning again. "I will show him!" he continued dieteman.
Later that night as Doc walked towards his building named
Doctor Hudson: Dr. of Internal people. He then looked to the right, and saw Lightning pulling Bessie at the start, while Sheriff watced him with his magnetic beacon on. Laughing sounds were made by Bessie's engine as tar splats on Lightning shaking the tar off.
"Aw, great! I hate it! Hate, hate, hate, hate it!" Lightning said angry.
Doc chuckled. "Music. Sweet music." he said then walked into his building.
"Maybe this wasn't such a good idea." Sally said while she watched Lightning.
"Radiator Springs, a happy place!" Lightning said.
Bessie clucked while Sally walked into her building at the Cozy Cone Motel as the rest of all go into their tents to try to get some sleep despite fart noises and Lightning's very loud complaining.
Then another slop of tar lands on Lightning.
"Whoa, okay, Bessie you think that funny?! Great! I'm talking to Bessie now! I'm talkin' to Bessie!" he said.
