[edit] Dialogue
- [first lines]
- Leland Turbo: This is Agent Leland Turbo. I have a flash transmission for Agent Finn McMissile. Finn, my cover's been compromised, everything's gone pear-shaped. You won't believe what I've found out here! This is bigger than anything we've ever seen, and no-one even knows it exists. Finn, I need back-up, but don't call the cavalry, it could blow the operation. And be careful, it's not safe out here!
- Grem: [off-screen] Let's go!
- Leland Turbo: Transmitting my grids now, good luck!
- Crabby: Alright buddy, we're here, right where you paid me to bring you. Question is, why?
- Finn McMissile: [comes out from the shadows] I'm looking for a car.
- Crabby: A car? Ha! Hey, pal. You can't get any further away from land than out here!
- Finn McMissile: Exactly where I want to be.
- Crabby: Well I got news for you buddy, there's nobody out here but us.
- Tony Trihull: [Blows his horn] What are you doing out here?!
- Crabby: What does it look like, genius? I'm crabbin'!
- Tony Trihull: Well turn around...and go back where you came from!
- Crabby: Oh yeah? And who's going to make me? [Tony gets out his missile launcher] All right! All right! Don't get your prop in a twist!
- [Finn McMissile is suspended by four grappling hooks above the oil platform]
- Grem: Hey, Professor Z! This is one of those British spies that we told you about!
- Acer: Yeah, this one we caught sticking his bumper where it didn't belong!
- Professor Zündapp: Agent Leland Turbo. [Leland's remains are revealed: he's been crushed into a cube. Finn gasps. A burst of flame behind Finn reveals his shadow on the platform below. Zundapp looks up and sees him] IT'S FINN MCMISSILE! HE'S SEEN THE CAMERA, KILL HIM!
- Lightning McQueen: [over the phone] Hey, this is Lightning McQueen.
- Francesco Bernoulli: The Lightning McQueen, eh?!
- Lightning McQueen: Look, I don't appreciate my best friend being humiliated like that.
- Francesco Bernoulli: Oh, that was your best friend! Oh! There's a difference between you and Francesco: Francesco knows how good he is. He doesn't have to surround himself with tow trucks to prove it.
- Mater: [Voice-over reading the letter] By the time you read this, I'll be safely on an airplane flying home. I'm so sorry for what I did.
- Lightning McQueen: [Reading Mater's Letter in the Hotel Lobby while Guido and Luigi began crying] I don't want to be the cause of you losing any more races. I want you to go prove to the world what I already know: that you are the greatest racecar in the whole wide world. Your best friend, Mater. [Looks up] I didn’t really want him to leave.
- Luigi: [Nearly crying while Guido began whining] Wait, there's more here. [moves to next page] P.S. Please tell the hotel I didn't mean to order that movie. I thought it was just a preview and I didn't realize I was paying for it. [Shifts the page] P.P.S that's funny right there. [Shifts the pages around] P.P. there's, uh, a few more pages of P.S.'s here.
- Lightning McQueen: Well, at least I know if he's at home, he'll be safe.
- Alexander Hugo: [to Ivan] Gremlins. Man, those are some ugly cars, looks like someone stole their trunks!
- Francesco Bernoulli: When I want to go to sleep, I watch one of his races, and after two laps I am out cold! [audience gasps]
- Mater: That ain't what I meant!
- Finn McMissile: I never properly introduced myself: Finn McMissile, British Intelligence.
- Mater: Tow Mater, average intelligence.
- Lightning McQueen: [on the starting line of the Tokyo race] Speed. I am speed.
- Francesco Bernoulli: [Laughs] Really? You are speed? Then Francesco is triple speed. "Francesco is triple speed." Ho-ho! Francesco likes this McQueen. He's really getting him into the zone!
- Lightning McQueen: He is so getting beat today.
- Mater: I'll have some of that there pistachio ice cream.
- Sushi Chef: No, no. Wasabi.
- Mater: Oh, same old, same old. What's up with you?
- Uncle Topolino: Chi trova un amico, trova un tesoro.
- Lightning McQueen: What does that mean?
- Mama Topolino: "Whoever find a friend, find a treasure".
- Uncle Topolino: A wise car hears one word and understands two...that and Luigi told me.
- Francesco Bernoulli: [at the Tokyo World Grand Prix party, Franscesco spots Lightning] Ah! Lightning McQueen! Bona seda!
- Lightning McQueen: Uh, nice to meet you, Francesco.
- Francesco Bernoulli: Yes, nice to meet you too. You are very good looking. Not as good as I thought but, you're good.
- Mater: Excuse me, can I get a picture with you?
- [drives next to Francesco]
- Francesco Bernoulli: Ah, anything for McQueen's friend.
- Mater: Miss Sally is going to flip when she see this!
- [Lightning sighs]
- Mater: She's Lightning McQueen's girlfriend.
- Francesco Bernoulli: Ooh...
- Mater: She's a big fan of yours.
- Francesco Bernoulli: Hey, she has a-good taste.
- Lightning McQueen: Well, Mater's prone to exaggeration; I wouldn't say she's a "big fan".
- Mater: You're right. She's a HUGE fan! She goes on and on about your open wheels here.
- [he taps Francesco's left front wheel]
- Lightning McQueen: Well, mentioning it once doesn't qualify as going on and on.
- Francesco Bernoulli: Francesco is familiar with this reaction to Francesco. Women respect a car that has nothing to hide.
- Lightning McQueen: Yeah, uh...[laughs sarcastically]
- Stephenson: [Stephenson, the train, is traveling to Porto Corsa, carrying Finn, Holley, and Mater] Finn, one hour to Porta Corsa.
- Finn McMissile: [inside one of the cars] Thank you, Stephenson.
- [a robot arm screws an orange light on top of Mater]
- Holley Shiftwell: Yeah, I think that should just about do it.
- [she presses a button on a control panel and backs away from it]
- Finn McMissile: Perfect.
- Holley Shiftwell: So, Mater, it's voice-activated. But you know, everything's voice-activated these days.
- Mater: What? I thought you's supposed to be making me a dee-sguise!
- Mater's Computer: Voice recognized. Disguise program initiated. [The computer uses a hologram to make Mater look like Ivan, another tow truck]
- Mater: Ha ha. Cool! Hey, Computer. Make me a German truck.
- Mater's Computer: Request acknowledged. [Mater wears a funny German costume with a green hat] I'm wearing Materhosen! Make me a monster truck!
- Mater's Computer: Request acknowledged. [Mater wears a vampire costume]
- Mater: What the? Hahahaha. [Transylvanian accent] I vant to siphon your gas! Ha ha! Now make me a taco truck!
- Mater's Computer: Request acknowledged. [Mater becomes a white taco truck, and his horn plays "La Cucaracha"]
- Mater: A funny car!
- Mater's Computer: Request acknowledged. [He becomes painted yellow with red flames, hot rod exhaust pipes, a hot rod engine, and a spoiler. Mater revs his engine a few times, enjoying the disguise]
- Finn McMissile: The idea is to keep a low profile, Mater. [turns off the hologram]
- Luigi: [at the Tokyo party, Lightning, Mater, Luigi, Guido, Sarge, and Fillmore descend a spiral tap] Guido, look! Ferraris AND tires! Let's go!
- Lightning McQueen: Oh ho ho! Look at this! Okay now, Mater. Remember - best behavior.
- Mater: You got it, buddy.
- Lewis Hamilton: [off-screen] Hey, McQueen! Over here!
- Lightning McQueen: [Lightning joins them] Lewis!
- Lewis Hamilton: Hey, man.
- Lightning McQueen: Jeff!
- Jeff Gorvette: Hey, Lightning! Can you believe this party?
- Jeff Gorvette: Check out that tow truck!
- Lewis Hamilton: Man, I wonder who that guy's with.
- Lightning McQueen: Uh... [Laughs nervously] Will you guys excuse me for one little second?
[he heads towards Mater]
- Mater: [after being served a whole plate of wasabi] Now that's a scoop of ice-cream!
- Sushi Chef: [in Japanese] My condolences.
- Finn McMissile: Siddeley.
- Siddeley: Yes, Finn?
- Finn McMissile: Paris, tout de suite.
- Mater: Two of them sweets for me too, Sid! [To Holley] You know, I always wanted to be a spy.
- Holley Shiftwell: Really? Me too.
- Siddeley: Afterburners, sir?
- Finn McMissile: Is there any other way?
- Mater: I call this move "what I accidentally did to my friend, Luigi, once".
- Finn McMissile: Calculate the fastest way to...
- Holley Shiftwell: [wings suddenly stick out of her] Done!
- Finn McMissile: Oh, Miss Shiftwell...
- Holley Shiftwell: They're standard issue now.
- Finn McMissile: You kids get all the good hardware.
- Mater: [after Finn McMissile explains the plan to Mater, making a statement of calling Mater an 'idiot'] Wait, did you say 'idiot'? Is that how you see me?
- Finn McMissile: That's how everyone sees you. Isn't that the idea? I tell you, that's the genius of it. No-one realizes they're being fooled, because they're too busy laughing at the fool. Brilliant.
[Mater miserably looks at his reflection]
- Sarge: [tasting gas in Porta Corsa] How do they do it?! These are the same ingredients as back home, but it tastes so good!
- Fillmore: It's organic, man.
- Sarge: Treehugger.
- Miles Axlerod: [in his disguised voice as the Lemon Mastermind] Welcome, everyone. I wish I could be with you on this very special day, but my clutch assembly broke. You know how it is. We are here to celebrate. Today, all your hard work pays off. The world turned their backs on cars like us. They stopped manufacturing us, stopped making our parts. The only thing they haven't stopped doing is laughing at us. They've called us terrible names: jalopy, rust bucket, heap, clunker, junker, beater, wreck, rattletrap...lemon. But their insults just give us strength. Because, today, my friends, that all ends! [Due to Grem and Acer's camera-disguised weapon, a car crashes] They laughed at us, but now it's our turn to laugh back. [Another car crashes due to the weapon] Embrace your inner lemon. Let it drive you. This was meant to be alternative fuel's greatest moment. [Cars, seeing the crashes, throw their alternative fuel cups away and start smashing alternative fuel signs] But after today, everyone will race back to gasoline. And we, the owners of the world's largest untapped oil reserve will become the most powerful cars in the world! They will come to us, and they will have no choice, because they will need us. And they will finally respect us! So hold your hoods high! After today, you will never again be ashamed of who you are! Long... live... lemons!
- Professor Zündapp: [after receiving orders from Miles Axlerod, the Lemon Mastermind] Of course. [To fellow Lemons] Allinol must be finished for good. McQueen cannot win the last race, Lightning McQueen must be killed!
- Mater: No! [accidentally reveals himself]
- Professor Zündapp: IT'S THE AMERICAN SPY!
[After Mater is captured by Professor Z's henchmen]
- Professor Zündapp: You actually care about that race-car. A pity you didn't warn him in time.
[Mater wakes up tied up inside Big Bentley along with Finn and Holley]
- Grem: Good, you're up.
- Acer: And just in time!
- Grem: Professor Z wanted you to have a front-row seat for the death of Lightning McQueen.
[Mater exposes Axlerod as the Lemon Mastermind]
- Miles Axlerod: 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 Shiftwell: Okay. [brings up the image]
- Mater: And then I remembered what they say about old British engines. If there ain't no oil under 'em, there ain't no oil in 'em.
- Miles Axlerod: What is he talking about?
- Mater: It was you leaking oil at the party in Japan. [flashback of Mater leaking oil] You just blamed it on me.
- Miles Axlerod: Electric cars don't use oil, you twit.
- Mater: Then you're faking it. You didn't convert to no electric. If we pop that hood, we gonna see that engine from that picture right there.
- [Axlerod, realizing that Mater knows the truth, backs away]
- Miles Axlerod: This lorry's crazy! He's gonna kill us all! [panicking] STAY AWAY!
- Holley Shiftwell: But Sir Axlerod created the race, Mater. Why would he want to hurt anyone?
- Mater: To make Allinol look bad so that everyone would go back to using oil. I mean, he said it himself with that dee-sguised voice.
- Miles Axlerod: Dee-sguised voice? What are you talking about? YOU'RE NUTS, YOU ARE!
- Prince Wheeliam: This is going nowhere fast. We really should go, Grandmother.
- The Queen: One moment. I'd like to see where this is going.
- [Bomb countdown reaches 00:29]
- Finn McMissile: Mater, he created Allinol.
- Mater: Yeah, but what if he found that huge oil field just as the world was trying to find something else? What if he came up with Allinol just to make alternative fuel look bad?
- [Bomb countdown reaches 00:19, 00:18]
- Miles Axlerod: What if?! You're basing this on a "what if"?!
- Security Guard: OK, that's it! Lads, clear out! [The Queen and spectators evacuate]
- Miles Axlerod: Wait, somebody save me! The lorry's crazy! KEEP AWAY, YOU IDIOT!
- Finn McMissile: MATER! [Bomb countdown reaches 00:10]
- Holley Shiftwell: Mater!
- Miles Axlerod: Someone do something! YOU'RE INSANE, YOU ARE! [Bomb countdown reaches 00:03] DEACTIVATE!!
- [Bomb countdown stops at 00:01, causing it to say "Voice Accepted"]
- Bomb Computer: Bomb deactivated. Have a nice day, Sir Axlerod.
- [Axlerod is shocked at what he said, as police cars approach to arrest him. Mater pops open Axlerod's hood, revealing the V8 engine]
- Finn McMissile: The engine from the photo.
- Holley Shiftwell: It's a perfect match. [compares the engine with the one from when Axlerod had the disguised voice]
- Miles Axlerod: How did the tow truck figure it out? [Gets taken away by the police]
- Lightning McQueen: It's official, you're coming to all my races from now on.
- Mater: Now you're talking!
