CARS 2
WRITTEN BY
BEN QUEEN
A sleek British sports car talks directly to us in a
pixilated, garbled video. He's OUT OF BREATH. Crates are
visible behind him. We're in the shadowy bowels of a steel
room.
LELAND TURBO
This is Agent Leland Turbo. I have
a flash transmission for Agent Finn
McMissile.
SUPERIMPOSE OVER BLACK: WALT DISNEY PICTURES PRESENTS
LELAND TURBO
Finn. My cover's been compromised.
Everything's gone pear-shaped.
SUPERIMPOSE OVER BLACK: A PIXAR ANIMATION STUDIOS FILM
LELAND TURBO
You won't believe what I've found
out here.
He angles our camera view, reveals a PORTHOLE through which
we can see flames rising in the distance.
LELAND TURBO
This is bigger than anything we've
ever seen. And no one even knows it
exists. Finn, I need backup. But
don't call the cavalry - it could
blow the operation. And be careful.
It's not safe out here!
ANGRY VOICES O.S. Time for Turbo to go.
LELAND TURBO
Transmitting my grids now. Good
luck!
Coordinates appear: 40 6.80' N - 172 23.84' W
TITLE CARD: CARS 2
EXT. SOMEWHERE IN THE NORTH PACIFIC - NIGHT
A TINY CRAB BOAT (CRABBY) crests over massive swells.
CRABBY
Alright buddy, we're here. Right
where you paid me to bring you.
Question is, why?
A metallic blue sports car, circa the `60s, emerges from the
2.
shadows. Cagey, smooth, he'd turn heads driving through any
intersection in the world. Meet FINN MCMISSILE.
FINN
I'm looking for a car.
CRABBY
A car? Hey pal, you can't get any
further away from land than out
here.
FINN
Exactly where I want to be.
CRABBY
Well I got news for you, buddy.
There's nobody out here but us.
Suddenly, a HORN -- a COMBAT SHIP, the size of most cruise
ships. FINN quickly backs into the shadows, out of sight.
COMBAT SHIP
What are you doing out here?
CRABBY
What does it look like, genius? I'm
crabbing!
COMBAT SHIP
Well turn around and go back where
you came from.
CRABBY
Yeah? And who's gonna make me?
A laser sight hits Crabby between the eyes.
CRABBY
Alright, alright! Don't get your
prop in a twist.
(as he turns to leave)
What a jerk. Sorry, buddy. Looks
like it's the end of the line.
Buddy?
ON CRABBY'S DECK: Finn is gone.
CUT TO:
FINN - He HANGS off the side of COMBAT SHIP, clandestine.
We're with Finn as the ship continues on, cuts through the
darkness with purpose. Suddenly small flames appear, perhaps
a knot or so away. Then WHOOSH!!! A flame rises above Finn,
the ship. It illuminates an OIL DERRICK.
3.
THWAP! Finn fires a GRAPPLING HOOK to the derrick and SWINGS
toward it. He's going to SLAM into the side with brute force
WHEN ---
--- HIS TIRES sprout a magnetic exoskeleton. He STICKS to the
derrick and now DRIVES VERTICALLY UP UP UP...
From this vantage point, hundreds of derricks appear.
EXT. PLATFORM - OIL DERRICK - MOMENTS LATER
Finn approaches a loading bay from above, hides. He watches
as GREMLINS, PACERS and assorted other cars scurry about.
FINN (INTO RADIO)
Leland Turbo, this is Finn
McMissile. I'm at the rally point.
Over.
No response.
FINN (INTO RADIO)
Leland, it's Finn. Please respond.
Over.
AN ACCESS DOOR OPENS LOUDLY below. A boxy, monacle-wearing
German car enters. This is PROFESSOR OTTO ZUNDAPP.
PROFESSOR ZUNDAPP
(in German and English)
Too many cars here. Out of my way!
FINN
Professor Zundapp?
PACER (O.S.)
Here it is, Professor.
Zundapp approaches a NOSY PACER who idles next to a CRATE.
NOSY PACER
You wanted to see this before we
load it?
PROFESSOR ZUNDAPP
Ah, yes. Very carefully...
A forklift opens the crate -- inside is a TV CAMERA, packed
carefully in foam. Finn SNAPS PHOTOS FURIOUSLY.
NOSY PACER
Oh. A TV camera. What does it
actually do?
4.
PROFESSOR ZUNDAPP
This camera is extremely dangerous.
FINN
(TO HIMSELF)
What are you up to now, Professor?
Finn, angling for a better view, FIRES SUSPENSION WIRES ---
--- which sail clear to the other side of the derrick ---
--- THOK! They hook tightly onto a steel girder.
Finn slides out ONTO THE WIRE like an acrobat, then expels
another cross-wire for support.
PROFESSOR ZUNDAPP
This is valuable equipment. Make
sure it is properly secured for the
voyage.
NOSY PACER
You got it.
Finn LOWERS HIMSELF. He snaps more pictures.
GREM (O.S.)
Hey, Professor Z!
Zundapp turns as a CRANE LOWERS A CAR-SIZED CRATE. GREM and
ACER, an orange Gremlin and a green Pacer, flank it.
GREM
This is one of those British spies
we told you about.
ACER
Yeah. This one we caught sticking
his bumper where it didn't belong.
Finn PRODUCES SEMI-AUTOMATIC GUNS from his side, readies
himself for a tag-team spy fight with his buddy Leland.
PROFESSOR ZUNDAPP
Agent Leland Turbo.
The crate is lifted, revealing a CRUSHED, CUBED Leland Turbo.
Finn's eyes go wide. Suddenly --- WHOOOSHHH! Another derrick
flame rises behind him, casts a Finn-shaped SHADOW over the
Professor. He looks up.
5.
PROFESSOR ZUNDAPP
It's Finn McMissile! He's seen the
camera! Kill him!!
Finn UNLOADS with bullets as he starts to retreat --- He
STOPS:
BAD GUY CARS are waiting for him on the catwalk where he just
came from - BLOWTORCHES ready.
Finn, stuck in midair, notices an angry CRANE. Finn GRINS,
having just found his escape.
THWAPTHWAPTHWAP!!! Finn releases three of his four cables,
swinging, Indiana Jones-style on the last one TOWARD THE
CRANE ---
--- where he lands on its BOOM, drives UP and LAUNCHES OFF IT
where he LANDS - MOVING - onto another deck!
Finn now DRIVES, spraying oil and screeching around corners.
A GREMLIN in pursuit hits the oil patch, loses control ---
--- and PLUMMETS OFF the side of the rig!
The Gremlin FALLS... it's like an eternity...
He smashes into the water and breaks into a million pieces.
ON FINN - Now set upon by 20 or 30 MORE pursuing cars. He has
nowhere to go but UP UP UP a ramp toward the helipad. He
spies some GASOLINE BARRELS, fires a SINGLE BULLET which cuts
through its leather straps, sending barrels DOWN the ramp,
PAST FINN ---
--- PAST the pursuing CARS ---
--- to the bottom where they EXPLODE in a CHAIN REACTION back
UP THE RAMP, taking out at least 15 CARS!
ON THE HELIPAD - Finn blasts into view, pulls to a stop. No
more road. Nowhere else to go.
The 20 BAD GUY CARS that are still in pursuit surround him,
fire up their blowtorches. About to pounce.
Finn GRINS. The second time we've seen this grin. It means
he's got something cooking.
Finn's REVERSE LIGHTS appear. He DRIVES BACKWARD off the edge
of the helipad to the SHOCK of the other cars.
Finn falls. He turns himself so he's grill first, cleanly
cutting into the water.
6.
He EMERGES, now sprouting HYDROFOIL and speeds away.
GREM
(NONPLUSSED)
Get to the boats.
THE BOATS - an army of combat ships quickly DROP into the sea
and CHURN WATER with unprecedented fury as they quickly make
up the distance between them and Finn, FIRING BULLETS as they
do so.
ACER
He's getting away!
COMBAT SHIP
Not for long.
The LEAD COMBAT SHIP quietly drops a TORPEDO into the water.
It skips along, connecting with Finn in his rear and
EXPLODING with such force that water skyrockets into the
night clouds.
UNDERWATER - McMissile SINKS. Then, he blinks. He GRINS.
We're starting to like this grin and what follows it. He now
CONVERTS into a submarine. From his trunk he releases four
DECOY tires which float to the surface like body parts.
ON THE DERRICK - Professor Zundapp watches it all from far
away.
GREM (OVER RADIO)
He's dead, Professor.
PROFESSOR ZUNDAPP
Wunderbar. With Finn McMissile
gone, who can stop us now?
EXT. RADIATOR SPRINGS - DAY
TOW MATER, a rusty tow truck, putters into view.
MATER
Mater. Tow Mater, that's who... is
here to help you!
He approaches a broken-down sedan on the side of the road. He
drives around to the front, catching OTIS' face for the first
time.
MATER
Hey, Otis!
7.
OTIS
Hey, Mater. Gosh, I'm so sorry. I
thought I could make it this time,
but...
(he tries to start his
engine, stalls)
Smooth like pudding, huh? Ah, who
am I kidding? I'll always be a
lemon.
Mater hooks his friend and starts towing him.
MATER
Well dadgum, you're leaking oil
again. Must be your gaskets. Hey,
look on the bright side: This is
your tenth 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
Don't sweat it. 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
starting to show through.
Mater and Otis drive past THE RADIATOR SPRINGS WELCOME SIGN.
It has been amended to say: "Home of Lightning McQueen."
OTIS
Hey, is Lightning McQueen back yet?
MATER
Not yet.
OTIS
He must be crazy-excited about
winning his fourth Piston Cup.
Four! Wow!
8.
MATER
Yeah, we're so dadgum proud of him.
But I sure wish he'd hurry up and
get back `cause we got a whole
summer's worth of best friend fun
to make up for. Just me and --
Ahead of them, a half-mile off, a RED RACE CAR is visible.
MATER
--- McQueen!
Mater FLOORS IT, dragging poor Otis behind him.
OTIS
Uh, Mater? I'm in no hurry. You
don't need to go so fast!
Boom! They hit a bump. Otis catches air.
EXT. RADIATOR SPRINGS - DAY
Lightning McQueen is surrounded by his hometown friends.
LUIGI
Oh, Lightning. Welcome home.
FLO
Good to have you back, honey.
FILLMORE
Congratulations, man.
SARGE
Welcome home, soldier.
SHERIFF
The place wasn't the same without
you, son.
LIZZIE
What? Did he go somewhere?
MCQUEEN
It's good to be home, everybody.
MATER (O.S.)
McQueen!
They all turn around, see Mater speeding into town, with Otis
swerving behind him.
MCQUEEN
Mater!
9.
MATER
McQueen!
Mater skids into main street and in one swift motion,
slingshots Otis forward ---
OTIS
Woaahhhhh!
--- right through Ramone's front door ---
INT. RAMONE'S - CONTINUOUS
--- where he lands perfectly on the hydraulic lift. Ramone
lifts him up, routine.
RAMONE
Hey. How far'd you make it this
time, Otis?
OTIS
Halfway to the county line.
RAMONE
Not bad, man.
OTIS
I know, I can't believe it either!
EXT. RADIATOR SPRINGS - CONTINUOUS
MATER
McQueen, welcome back!
MCQUEEN
Mater, it's so good to see you.
MATER
You too, buddy.
Mater and McQueen do an ELABORATE TIRE BUMP (fist bump
style).
MATER
Oh, man. You ain't gonna believe
the things I got planned for us.
Everyone watches as the tire bump continues.
MACK
(to Lizzie, an aside)
These best friend greetings get
longer every year.
10.
MATER
(TO MCQUEEN)
You ready to have some serious fun?
MCQUEEN
Well, actually I've got something
to show you first.
INT. RADIATOR SPRINGS MUSEUM - DAY
CLOSE ON THE PISTON CUP. It has now changed, been adorned
with a small likeness of Doc. It says "Hudson Hornet Piston
Cup."
MATER
Wow. I can't believe they renamed
the Piston Cup after our very own
Doc Hudson.
McQueen and Mater are alone, the museum closed to the public.
McQueen approaches a "Hudson Hornet" wall with Doc's three
Piston cups, framed articles, other racing ephemera.
MCQUEEN
I know Doc said these things were
just old cups, but to have someone
else win it just didn't feel right,
you know?
MATER
Well, Doc would've been real proud
of you. That's for sure.
McQueen takes this in.
EXT. RADIATOR SPRINGS - LATER
McQueen and Mater exit the Doc Hudson Museum.
MCQUEEN
Alright, pal. I've been waiting all
summer for this. What've you got
planned?
MATER
You sure you can handle it?
MCQUEEN
Come on, you know who you're
talking to? This is Lightning
McQueen. I can handle anything.
11.
EXT. RADIATOR SPRINGS - DAY
Mater and McQueen roll on an old train track, their tires
off. They're on their rims.
MCQUEEN
Uh.... Mater?!
MATER
Just remember, your brakes ain't
gonna work on these!
As they head INTO A DARK TUNNEL ---
MCQUEEN (O.S.)
Mater!
MATER (O.S.)
Relax, these train tracks ain't
been used in years!
From inside the tunnel a loud TRAIN HORN. The two friends
emerge, going as fast as they can on train tracks, uphill,
with no tires.
MCQUEEN
Come on, come on! Faster, faster!
Moments later a harmless GALLOPING GOOSE appears, oversized
horn visible, cackling and laughing at his prank.
EXT. FIELD - OUTSIDE RADIATOR SPRINGS - LATER
An ENORMOUS EARTH MOVER sleeps. McQueen and Mater sneak up.
MATER
This is gonna be good!
They blow their horns and he TIPS OVER, tractor-tipping
style. They LAUGH at the gag, but soon realize the earth
mover's GIANT EXHAUST PIPE is directly above them.
MATER
Uh-oh. This ain't gonna be good.
The exhaust pipe BELCHES. McQueen and Mater are BLASTED out
of view.
INT. RADIATOR SPRINGS - DUSK
The sun sets. McQueen and Mater roll into town. McQueen looks
exhausted. Mater is still full of energy.
12.
MATER
Boy, this was the best day ever!
And my favorite souvenir?
Mater proudly shows off a dent.
MATER
This new dent!
MCQUEEN
Boy, Mater. Today was, uh...
MATER
Shoot, that was nothing. Wait til
you see what I got planned for
tonight.
MCQUEEN
Mater, Mater. Whoa. I was kind of
thinking of just a quiet dinner.
MATER
That's exactly what I was thinking.
MCQUEEN
No, I... I meant with Sally, Mater.
MATER
Even better! You, me and Miss Sally
going out for supper.
McQueen pulls around in front of Mater, stops.
MCQUEEN
Mater, I meant it would be just me
and Sally.
MATER
Oh.
MCQUEEN
It's just for tonight. We'll do
whatever you want tomorrow.
MATER
(DISAPPOINTED)
Okay.
MCQUEEN
Thanks for understanding.
MATER
Yeah, sure. Y'all go on and have
fun now.
13.
MCQUEEN
Alright, then. See ya soon, amigo!
McQueen drives off. Mater watches him go.
EXT. THE WHEEL WELL - NIGHT
It's been converted into a white-tablecloth restaurant, with
cars dining al fresco and a hopping gastropub inside.
MCQUEEN AND SALLY have a prime table with a view of Radiator
Springs and the starry night sky.
SALLY
This is so nice.
MCQUEEN
I can't tell you how good it is to
be here alone. Just the two of us.
Finally, you and me ---
MATER (O.S.)
Good evening.
Mater is at their table, dressed as a waiter.
MATER
My name is Mater and I'll be your
waiter.
(TO HIMSELF)
Mater the waiter. That's funny
right there.
MCQUEEN
Mater, you work here?
MATER
Well yeah I work here. What'd you
think, I just snuck in here when
nobody was looking and pretended to
be your waiter, just so I could
hang out with you?
McQueen and Sally exchange a look.
MCQUEEN
Oh, yeah. How ridiculous would that
be?
MATER
Now, can I start you two lovebirds
off with a couple drinks?
14.
MCQUEEN
Yes. I'll have my usual.
SALLY
You know what? I'm going to have
that too.
Mater blinks.
MATER
Uh, right. Your usual.
CUT TO:
INSIDE AT THE BAR - Fillmore and Sarge watch as Guido mixes
drinks, ala "Cocktail." Mater arrives.
MATER
Guido! What's McQueen's usual?
GUIDO
(in Italian, subtitled)
How should I know?
MATER
Perfect! Give me two of `em.
SARGE
Quiet! My program's on.
MEL DORADO (O.S.)
Tonight on "The Mel Dorado Show"!
ON THE BAR TV - "THE MEL DORADO SHOW," a cable talk show,
begins with file footage of MILES AXLEROD, a sleek SUV.
MEL DORADO (ON TV)
His story gripped the world! Oil
billionaire Miles Axlerod, in an
attempt to become the first car to
circumnavigate the globe without
GPS, ironically ran out of gas and
found himself trapped in the wild!
We see images of newspaper headlines, search crews.
MEL DORADO (ON TV)
Feared dead, he emerged 36 days
later, running on a fuel he'd
distilled himself from the natural
elements! Since then he's sold his
oil fortune, converted himself from
a gas-guzzler into an electric car,
and has devoted his life to finding
a renewable, clean-burning fuel!
15.
Images of oil derricks torn down; Miles Axlerod getting
converted to electric; lab scientists testing chemicals.
MEL DORADO (ON TV)
Now he claims to have done it with
his Allinol.
Images of fields, rivers, vegetables, and mountains all
combining to form the Allinol logo.
MEL DORADO (ON TV)
And to show the world what his new
superfuel can do, he's created a
racing competition like no other,
inviting the greatest champions
from around the globe to battle in
the first ever World Grand Prix.
Welcome Sir Miles Axlerod.
SIR MILES AXLEROD arrives, parks across from Mel's desk.
MILES AXLEROD (ON TV)
Thank you, Mel. It is very good to
be here. Now listen to me: Big Oil.
It costs a fortune. Pollution is
getting worse. I mean, come on.
It's a fossil fuel. Fossil. As in
dead dinosaurs. And we all know
what happened to them. Alternative
energy is the future. Trust me,
Mel, after seeing Allinol in action
at the World Grand Prix, nobody
will ever go back to gasoline
again.
MATER
(TO FILLMORE)
What happened to the dinosaurs,
now?
MEL DORADO (ON TV)
And on satellite, a World Grand
Prix competitor and one of the
fastest cars in the world,
Francesco Bernoulli.
Across the screen: LIVE FROM ROME, ITALY. We meet Formula
race car FRANCESCO BERNOULLI.
FRANCESCO (ON TV)
It is an honor, Signore Dorado. For
you.
16.
MEL DORADO (ON TV)
Miles, why not invite Lightning
McQueen?
Mater, collecting his drinks, looks up, half-intrigued.
MILES AXLEROD (ON TV)
Of course we invited him. But
apparently after a very long racing
season he is taking some time off
to rest.
FRANCESCO (ON TV)
Lightning McQueen would not have a
chance against Francesco!
Mater doesn't like this.
FRANCESCO (ON TV)
I can go over 300 kilometers an
hour! In miles that is like, uh...
way faster than McQueen.
MEL DORADO (ON TV)
Let's go to the phones. Baltimore,
Maryland, you're on the air.
CALLER (ON TV)
Am I on? Hello?
MEL DORADO (ON TV)
You're on. Go ahead.
CALLER (ON TV)
Hello?
MEL DORADO (ON TV)
Go ahead, caller.
Dial tone.
MEL DORADO (ON TV)
Let's go to Radiator Springs.
You're on, caller.
MATER'S VOICE (ON TV)
Yeah, that Italian feller you got
on there can't talk that way about
Lightning McQueen. He's the bestest
race car in the whole wide world.
Fillmore and Sarge look around. Mater is visible in the back
of the bar on an office phone.
17.
SARGE
Uh-oh...
FRANCESCO (ON TV)
If he is, how you say "the bestest
race car," then why must he rest,
eh?
MATER'S VOICE (ON TV)
Cause he knows what's important.
Every now and then he prefers just
to slow down, enjoy life.
FRANCESCO (ON TV)
Ah, you heard it! Lightning McQueen
prefers to be slow! Of course, this
is not news to Francesco. When I
want to go to sleep I watch one of
his races. After two laps I am out
cold.
Audible RXNS from the bar. A crowd has been forming ever
since Mater started talking.
MATER'S VOICE (ON TV)
That ain't what I meant.
CUT TO:
MCQUEEN AND SALLY - They hear the commotion inside.
MCQUEEN
Hey, what's going on over there?
CUT BACK TO:
THE BAR - Sally and McQueen push through the crowd, see that
they're watching Francesco on the television.
MCQUEEN
(TO SALLY)
Oh, it's that Italian Formula car.
His name is ---
SALLY
Francesco Bernoulli. No wonder
there's a crowd.
When Sally says his name, she enunciates each part, as if
Italian were her mother's tongue.
MCQUEEN
Wait, why do you know his name? And
don't say it like that. It's three
syllables, not ten.
18.
SALLY
What? He's nice to look at. You
know, open-wheeled and all.
MCQUEEN
What's wrong with fenders? I
thought you like my fenders.
MATER'S VOICE (ON TV)
Well let me tell you something else
there, Mr. San Francisco ---
MCQUEEN
Mater?
MATER'S VOICE (ON TV)
McQueen could drive circles around
you.
FRANCESCO (ON TV)
Driving in circles is all he can
do, no?
MATER'S VOICE (ON TV)
No! I mean yes. I mean he could
beat you anywhere, anytime, any
track.
On McQueen - he looks at Guido who gives a nod over to ---
--- Mater, turned away from the crowd, still on the phone.
FRANCESCO (ON TV)
Mel, can we move on? Francesco
needs a caller who can provide a
little more intellectual
stimulation. Like a dump truck.
ON MCQUEEN. He doesn't like this at all.
MATER
Ha ha! That shows what you know.
Dump trucks is dumb.
Suddenly, Mater is YANKED from the booth and replaced by
McQueen.
MCQUEEN (INTO PHONE)
Yeah, hi, this is Lightning
McQueen. Look, I don't appreciate
my best friend being insulted like
that.
19.
FRANCESCO (ON TV)
McQueen! That was your best friend?
This is the difference between you
and Francesco. Francesco knows how
good he is. He does not need to
surround himself with tow trucks to
prove it.
MCQUEEN
Those are strong words from a car
that is so fragile.
FRANCESCO (ON TV)
Fragilé!? He calls Francesco
fragilé? Not so fast, McQueen!
MCQUEEN
"Not so fast." What is that, your
new motto?
Francesco goes ballistic in Italian. They cut his mic.
MILES AXLEROD (ON TV)
Well, this sounds like something
that needs to be settled on the
race course. What do you say,
Lightning McQueen? We've still got
room for one more racer.
MCQUEEN
Well, I would love to. The only
thing is my crew's off for the
season so ---
A sound O.S. McQueen turns to see Fillmore, Sarge and Luigi
flank a tablecloth which is hanging off the bar. Ramone backs
away, having spray painted "TEAM LIGHTNING MCQUEEN" on it.
Guido quickly uncorks three wine bottles.
GUIDO
Pit stop.
McQueen turns back to the phone.
MCQUEEN
You know what? They just got back.
Deal me in, baby. Ka-chow!
The place ERUPTS IN CHEERS.
MOMENTS LATER - General excitement as McQueen exits the phone
booth where Sally waits. Off her look:
20.
MCQUEEN
I know, I know. I just got back.
But we won't be long and ---
SALLY
Oh, no, don't worry about me. I've
got enough to do here. Mater's
going to have a blast though.
(off McQueen's silence)
You're bringing Mater, right? You
never bring him to any of your
races.
McQueen turns to the bar where Mater privately tries their
drinks, hates it, spits it back in the glass.
SALLY
Just let him sit in the pits, give
him a headset. C'mon, it'll be a
thrill of a lifetime for him.
Mater arrives.
MATER
Your drinks, sir.
MCQUEEN
Mater.
MATER
I didn't taste it!
MCQUEEN
How'd you like to come and see the
world with me?
MATER
You mean it?
MCQUEEN
You got me into this thing. You're
coming along.
BEGIN MONTAGE:
- McQueen is given a new paint job and headlights by Ramone.
Mater, now sporting a "Team McQueen" emblem, seems psyched as
well.
- An airport DEPARTURES SIGN advertises the next flight:
Tokyo, Japan.
- Mater waves goodbye with his hook alongside McQueen, Guido,
Luigi, Fillmore and Sarge as ---
21.
--- the rest of Radiator Springs watches them board a plane.
Red bawls.
- IN THE JET, LATER. McQueen and Mater are the only ones
awake, watch an insane Japanese game show.
- JAPAN AT NIGHT. A stylish Tokyo cityscape of neon, glamour,
scrolling billboards, vending machines and high-tech
skyscrapers.
- INSIDE A SOUVENIR SHOP loaded with McQueen toys: Mater and
McQueen enter. A tourist sees McQueen and faints.
- A KABUKI THEATER. Team McQueen watches a methodical dance.
Mater, dressed in Kabuki makeup, arrives. He looks insane.
- A SUMO MATCH - Two SUZUKI SAMURAI CARS wrestle over a
parking space. Mater, now in his element, cheers.
The MONTAGE ENDS on this high note as we CUT TO ---
EXT. MUSEUM - TOKYO - NIGHT
---- TEAM MCQUEEN, as they roll up the red carpet. Press is
held at bay behind ropes. WORLD GRAND PRIX and ALLINOL logos
are strategically placed for maximum press exposure. RACERS
are interviewed by press behind the red-carpet ropes.
INT. TOKYO MUSEUM - NIGHT
Team McQueen enters via a second floor landing which
overlooks a massive indoor party in a converted museum. As
they roll down a ramp to the party, they are awed.
LUIGI
Guido, look! Ferraris and tires!
Let's go!
MCQUEEN
(IMPRESSED)
Hey, look at this. Okay now Mater,
remember: best behavior.
MATER
You got it, buddy. Hey, what's
that?
He sees something, peels away.
MCQUEEN
Mater!
LEWIS HAMILTON
Hey, McQueen, over here!
22.
It's fellow racers JEFF GORVETTE and LEWIS HAMILTON. McQueen
now has no choice but to let Mater go.
MCQUEEN
Hey, Jeff. Lewis!
CUT TO:
MATER as he approaches a GLASS-ENCLOSED ROCK GARDEN where a
pitty RAKES rocks with precision. He knocks on the glass with
his hook.
MATER
Hey! You done good! You got all the
leaves!
People turn at the noise he's making.
CUT BACK TO:
MCQUEEN, JEFF and LEWIS.
JEFF GORVETTE
Check out that tow truck.
LEWIS HAMILTON
I wonder who that guy's with?
MCQUEEN
Will you guys excuse me just for
one little second?
He zips over to Mater's side, quickly pulls him out of sight.
MCQUEEN
Mater, listen. This isn't Radiator
Springs.
MATER
You're just realizing that? Boy,
that jet-lag really done a number
on you.
MCQUEEN
Mater, look -- things are different
over here. Which means maybe you
should, you know, act a little
different too.
MATER
Different than what?
MCQUEEN
Well, just... help me out here,
buddy. I ---
23.
MATER
You need help? Shoot, why didn't
you just say so? That's what a tow
truck does. Hey, looky there, it's
Mr. San Francisco!
FRANCESCO is visible across the room, holding court.
MATER
I'll introduce you.
MCQUEEN
Mater, no.
MATER
(already on his way)
Look at me -- I'm helping you
already!
On FRANCESCO - MOMENTS LATER. Mater approaches, giddy.
MATER
Hey Mr. San Francisco, I'd like you
to meet ---
FRANCESCO
Lightning McQueen! Buona sera.
MCQUEEN
Nice to meet you, Francesco.
FRANCESCO
Yeah, nice to meet you too. You are
very good-looking. Not as good as I
thought, but you're good.
MATER
(TO FRANCESCO)
Excuse me. Can I get a picture with
you?
FRANCESCO
Anything for McQueen's friend.
As Mater poses for a photo with Francesco:
MATER
Miss Sally is gonna flip when she
sees this. She's Lightning
McQueen's girlfriend.
FRANCESCO
Oooh.
24.
MATER
She's a big fan of yours.
FRANCESCO
Hey, she has good taste.
MCQUEEN
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.
MCQUEEN
Mentioning it once doesn't qualify
as going "on and on."
FRANCESCO
Francesco is familiar with this
reaction to Francesco. Women
respect a car that has nothing to
hide.
MCQUEEN
Yeah, uh...
FRANCESCO
Let us have a toast.
McQueen doesn't like where this is going, covers.
MCQUEEN
Let's.
FRANCESCO
(raising a drink)
I dedicate my win tomorrow... to
Miss Sally.
MCQUEEN
Oh, sorry. I already dedicated MY
win tomorrow to her. So if we both
do it, it's really not so special.
Besides, I don't have a drink.
MATER
I'll go get you one. You mind if I
borrow a few bucks for one of them
drinks?
25.
MCQUEEN
(could kill him)
They're free, Mater.
MATER
Free? Well, shoot, what am I doing
here?
Mater ZIPS OFF.
MCQUEEN
I should probably go keep an eye on
him. See you at the race.
McQueen starts to leave.
FRANCESCO
Yes, you will see Francesco. But
not like this.
Francesco does a 180, so his rear end now faces McQueen.
FRANCESCO
You will see him like this, as he
drives away from you.
Francesco wears a bumper sticker that says "Ciao, McQueen!"
MCQUEEN
That's cute. So you had one of
those made up for all the racers?
FRANCESCO
No.
MCQUEEN
Okay.
He rolls off.
MCQUEEN
He is so getting beat tomorrow.
INT. PARTY - MOMENTS LATER
Lights caress the main stage where a crowd has formed.
VOICE
Ladies and gentlecars... Sir Miles
Axlerod!
MILES AXLEROD drives through an infinity fountain, appears.
26.
MILES AXLEROD
It is my absolute honor to
introduce to you the competitors in
the first-ever World Grand Prix.
From Brazil. Number eight...
ON FINN MCMISSILE. He appears from the shadows, keeps a
careful distance from the stage. He ZEROES HIS GAZE ON ---
--- THE WORLD GRAND PRIX TV CAMERAS which roll, catching
Miles Axlerod's speech for publicity and posterity.
Finn's ONBOARD COMPUTER ANALYZES each one, compares to the
photos we saw him snap on the oil platform. Each one is "NOT
A MATCH." His view is suddenly disrupted by A BEAUTIFUL
SPORTS CAR. She approaches Finn. Meet HOLLEY SHIFTWELL.
HOLLEY
A Volkswagen Karmann Ghia has no
radiator.
WRITTEN BY
BEN QUEEN
A sleek British sports car talks directly to us in a
pixilated, garbled video. He's OUT OF BREATH. Crates are
visible behind him. We're in the shadowy bowels of a steel
room.
LELAND TURBO
This is Agent Leland Turbo. I have
a flash transmission for Agent Finn
McMissile.
SUPERIMPOSE OVER BLACK: WALT DISNEY PICTURES PRESENTS
LELAND TURBO
Finn. My cover's been compromised.
Everything's gone pear-shaped.
SUPERIMPOSE OVER BLACK: A PIXAR ANIMATION STUDIOS FILM
LELAND TURBO
You won't believe what I've found
out here.
He angles our camera view, reveals a PORTHOLE through which
we can see flames rising in the distance.
LELAND TURBO
This is bigger than anything we've
ever seen. And no one even knows it
exists. Finn, I need backup. But
don't call the cavalry - it could
blow the operation. And be careful.
It's not safe out here!
ANGRY VOICES O.S. Time for Turbo to go.
LELAND TURBO
Transmitting my grids now. Good
luck!
Coordinates appear: 40 6.80' N - 172 23.84' W
TITLE CARD: CARS 2
EXT. SOMEWHERE IN THE NORTH PACIFIC - NIGHT
A TINY CRAB BOAT (CRABBY) crests over massive swells.
CRABBY
Alright buddy, we're here. Right
where you paid me to bring you.
Question is, why?
A metallic blue sports car, circa the `60s, emerges from the
2.
shadows. Cagey, smooth, he'd turn heads driving through any
intersection in the world. Meet FINN MCMISSILE.
FINN
I'm looking for a car.
CRABBY
A car? Hey pal, you can't get any
further away from land than out
here.
FINN
Exactly where I want to be.
CRABBY
Well I got news for you, buddy.
There's nobody out here but us.
Suddenly, a HORN -- a COMBAT SHIP, the size of most cruise
ships. FINN quickly backs into the shadows, out of sight.
COMBAT SHIP
What are you doing out here?
CRABBY
What does it look like, genius? I'm
crabbing!
COMBAT SHIP
Well turn around and go back where
you came from.
CRABBY
Yeah? And who's gonna make me?
A laser sight hits Crabby between the eyes.
CRABBY
Alright, alright! Don't get your
prop in a twist.
(as he turns to leave)
What a jerk. Sorry, buddy. Looks
like it's the end of the line.
Buddy?
ON CRABBY'S DECK: Finn is gone.
CUT TO:
FINN - He HANGS off the side of COMBAT SHIP, clandestine.
We're with Finn as the ship continues on, cuts through the
darkness with purpose. Suddenly small flames appear, perhaps
a knot or so away. Then WHOOSH!!! A flame rises above Finn,
the ship. It illuminates an OIL DERRICK.
3.
THWAP! Finn fires a GRAPPLING HOOK to the derrick and SWINGS
toward it. He's going to SLAM into the side with brute force
WHEN ---
--- HIS TIRES sprout a magnetic exoskeleton. He STICKS to the
derrick and now DRIVES VERTICALLY UP UP UP...
From this vantage point, hundreds of derricks appear.
EXT. PLATFORM - OIL DERRICK - MOMENTS LATER
Finn approaches a loading bay from above, hides. He watches
as GREMLINS, PACERS and assorted other cars scurry about.
FINN (INTO RADIO)
Leland Turbo, this is Finn
McMissile. I'm at the rally point.
Over.
No response.
FINN (INTO RADIO)
Leland, it's Finn. Please respond.
Over.
AN ACCESS DOOR OPENS LOUDLY below. A boxy, monacle-wearing
German car enters. This is PROFESSOR OTTO ZUNDAPP.
PROFESSOR ZUNDAPP
(in German and English)
Too many cars here. Out of my way!
FINN
Professor Zundapp?
PACER (O.S.)
Here it is, Professor.
Zundapp approaches a NOSY PACER who idles next to a CRATE.
NOSY PACER
You wanted to see this before we
load it?
PROFESSOR ZUNDAPP
Ah, yes. Very carefully...
A forklift opens the crate -- inside is a TV CAMERA, packed
carefully in foam. Finn SNAPS PHOTOS FURIOUSLY.
NOSY PACER
Oh. A TV camera. What does it
actually do?
4.
PROFESSOR ZUNDAPP
This camera is extremely dangerous.
FINN
(TO HIMSELF)
What are you up to now, Professor?
Finn, angling for a better view, FIRES SUSPENSION WIRES ---
--- which sail clear to the other side of the derrick ---
--- THOK! They hook tightly onto a steel girder.
Finn slides out ONTO THE WIRE like an acrobat, then expels
another cross-wire for support.
PROFESSOR ZUNDAPP
This is valuable equipment. Make
sure it is properly secured for the
voyage.
NOSY PACER
You got it.
Finn LOWERS HIMSELF. He snaps more pictures.
GREM (O.S.)
Hey, Professor Z!
Zundapp turns as a CRANE LOWERS A CAR-SIZED CRATE. GREM and
ACER, an orange Gremlin and a green Pacer, flank it.
GREM
This is one of those British spies
we told you about.
ACER
Yeah. This one we caught sticking
his bumper where it didn't belong.
Finn PRODUCES SEMI-AUTOMATIC GUNS from his side, readies
himself for a tag-team spy fight with his buddy Leland.
PROFESSOR ZUNDAPP
Agent Leland Turbo.
The crate is lifted, revealing a CRUSHED, CUBED Leland Turbo.
Finn's eyes go wide. Suddenly --- WHOOOSHHH! Another derrick
flame rises behind him, casts a Finn-shaped SHADOW over the
Professor. He looks up.
5.
PROFESSOR ZUNDAPP
It's Finn McMissile! He's seen the
camera! Kill him!!
Finn UNLOADS with bullets as he starts to retreat --- He
STOPS:
BAD GUY CARS are waiting for him on the catwalk where he just
came from - BLOWTORCHES ready.
Finn, stuck in midair, notices an angry CRANE. Finn GRINS,
having just found his escape.
THWAPTHWAPTHWAP!!! Finn releases three of his four cables,
swinging, Indiana Jones-style on the last one TOWARD THE
CRANE ---
--- where he lands on its BOOM, drives UP and LAUNCHES OFF IT
where he LANDS - MOVING - onto another deck!
Finn now DRIVES, spraying oil and screeching around corners.
A GREMLIN in pursuit hits the oil patch, loses control ---
--- and PLUMMETS OFF the side of the rig!
The Gremlin FALLS... it's like an eternity...
He smashes into the water and breaks into a million pieces.
ON FINN - Now set upon by 20 or 30 MORE pursuing cars. He has
nowhere to go but UP UP UP a ramp toward the helipad. He
spies some GASOLINE BARRELS, fires a SINGLE BULLET which cuts
through its leather straps, sending barrels DOWN the ramp,
PAST FINN ---
--- PAST the pursuing CARS ---
--- to the bottom where they EXPLODE in a CHAIN REACTION back
UP THE RAMP, taking out at least 15 CARS!
ON THE HELIPAD - Finn blasts into view, pulls to a stop. No
more road. Nowhere else to go.
The 20 BAD GUY CARS that are still in pursuit surround him,
fire up their blowtorches. About to pounce.
Finn GRINS. The second time we've seen this grin. It means
he's got something cooking.
Finn's REVERSE LIGHTS appear. He DRIVES BACKWARD off the edge
of the helipad to the SHOCK of the other cars.
Finn falls. He turns himself so he's grill first, cleanly
cutting into the water.
6.
He EMERGES, now sprouting HYDROFOIL and speeds away.
GREM
(NONPLUSSED)
Get to the boats.
THE BOATS - an army of combat ships quickly DROP into the sea
and CHURN WATER with unprecedented fury as they quickly make
up the distance between them and Finn, FIRING BULLETS as they
do so.
ACER
He's getting away!
COMBAT SHIP
Not for long.
The LEAD COMBAT SHIP quietly drops a TORPEDO into the water.
It skips along, connecting with Finn in his rear and
EXPLODING with such force that water skyrockets into the
night clouds.
UNDERWATER - McMissile SINKS. Then, he blinks. He GRINS.
We're starting to like this grin and what follows it. He now
CONVERTS into a submarine. From his trunk he releases four
DECOY tires which float to the surface like body parts.
ON THE DERRICK - Professor Zundapp watches it all from far
away.
GREM (OVER RADIO)
He's dead, Professor.
PROFESSOR ZUNDAPP
Wunderbar. With Finn McMissile
gone, who can stop us now?
EXT. RADIATOR SPRINGS - DAY
TOW MATER, a rusty tow truck, putters into view.
MATER
Mater. Tow Mater, that's who... is
here to help you!
He approaches a broken-down sedan on the side of the road. He
drives around to the front, catching OTIS' face for the first
time.
MATER
Hey, Otis!
7.
OTIS
Hey, Mater. Gosh, I'm so sorry. I
thought I could make it this time,
but...
(he tries to start his
engine, stalls)
Smooth like pudding, huh? Ah, who
am I kidding? I'll always be a
lemon.
Mater hooks his friend and starts towing him.
MATER
Well dadgum, you're leaking oil
again. Must be your gaskets. Hey,
look on the bright side: This is
your tenth 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
Don't sweat it. 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
starting to show through.
Mater and Otis drive past THE RADIATOR SPRINGS WELCOME SIGN.
It has been amended to say: "Home of Lightning McQueen."
OTIS
Hey, is Lightning McQueen back yet?
MATER
Not yet.
OTIS
He must be crazy-excited about
winning his fourth Piston Cup.
Four! Wow!
8.
MATER
Yeah, we're so dadgum proud of him.
But I sure wish he'd hurry up and
get back `cause we got a whole
summer's worth of best friend fun
to make up for. Just me and --
Ahead of them, a half-mile off, a RED RACE CAR is visible.
MATER
--- McQueen!
Mater FLOORS IT, dragging poor Otis behind him.
OTIS
Uh, Mater? I'm in no hurry. You
don't need to go so fast!
Boom! They hit a bump. Otis catches air.
EXT. RADIATOR SPRINGS - DAY
Lightning McQueen is surrounded by his hometown friends.
LUIGI
Oh, Lightning. Welcome home.
FLO
Good to have you back, honey.
FILLMORE
Congratulations, man.
SARGE
Welcome home, soldier.
SHERIFF
The place wasn't the same without
you, son.
LIZZIE
What? Did he go somewhere?
MCQUEEN
It's good to be home, everybody.
MATER (O.S.)
McQueen!
They all turn around, see Mater speeding into town, with Otis
swerving behind him.
MCQUEEN
Mater!
9.
MATER
McQueen!
Mater skids into main street and in one swift motion,
slingshots Otis forward ---
OTIS
Woaahhhhh!
--- right through Ramone's front door ---
INT. RAMONE'S - CONTINUOUS
--- where he lands perfectly on the hydraulic lift. Ramone
lifts him up, routine.
RAMONE
Hey. How far'd you make it this
time, Otis?
OTIS
Halfway to the county line.
RAMONE
Not bad, man.
OTIS
I know, I can't believe it either!
EXT. RADIATOR SPRINGS - CONTINUOUS
MATER
McQueen, welcome back!
MCQUEEN
Mater, it's so good to see you.
MATER
You too, buddy.
Mater and McQueen do an ELABORATE TIRE BUMP (fist bump
style).
MATER
Oh, man. You ain't gonna believe
the things I got planned for us.
Everyone watches as the tire bump continues.
MACK
(to Lizzie, an aside)
These best friend greetings get
longer every year.
10.
MATER
(TO MCQUEEN)
You ready to have some serious fun?
MCQUEEN
Well, actually I've got something
to show you first.
INT. RADIATOR SPRINGS MUSEUM - DAY
CLOSE ON THE PISTON CUP. It has now changed, been adorned
with a small likeness of Doc. It says "Hudson Hornet Piston
Cup."
MATER
Wow. I can't believe they renamed
the Piston Cup after our very own
Doc Hudson.
McQueen and Mater are alone, the museum closed to the public.
McQueen approaches a "Hudson Hornet" wall with Doc's three
Piston cups, framed articles, other racing ephemera.
MCQUEEN
I know Doc said these things were
just old cups, but to have someone
else win it just didn't feel right,
you know?
MATER
Well, Doc would've been real proud
of you. That's for sure.
McQueen takes this in.
EXT. RADIATOR SPRINGS - LATER
McQueen and Mater exit the Doc Hudson Museum.
MCQUEEN
Alright, pal. I've been waiting all
summer for this. What've you got
planned?
MATER
You sure you can handle it?
MCQUEEN
Come on, you know who you're
talking to? This is Lightning
McQueen. I can handle anything.
11.
EXT. RADIATOR SPRINGS - DAY
Mater and McQueen roll on an old train track, their tires
off. They're on their rims.
MCQUEEN
Uh.... Mater?!
MATER
Just remember, your brakes ain't
gonna work on these!
As they head INTO A DARK TUNNEL ---
MCQUEEN (O.S.)
Mater!
MATER (O.S.)
Relax, these train tracks ain't
been used in years!
From inside the tunnel a loud TRAIN HORN. The two friends
emerge, going as fast as they can on train tracks, uphill,
with no tires.
MCQUEEN
Come on, come on! Faster, faster!
Moments later a harmless GALLOPING GOOSE appears, oversized
horn visible, cackling and laughing at his prank.
EXT. FIELD - OUTSIDE RADIATOR SPRINGS - LATER
An ENORMOUS EARTH MOVER sleeps. McQueen and Mater sneak up.
MATER
This is gonna be good!
They blow their horns and he TIPS OVER, tractor-tipping
style. They LAUGH at the gag, but soon realize the earth
mover's GIANT EXHAUST PIPE is directly above them.
MATER
Uh-oh. This ain't gonna be good.
The exhaust pipe BELCHES. McQueen and Mater are BLASTED out
of view.
INT. RADIATOR SPRINGS - DUSK
The sun sets. McQueen and Mater roll into town. McQueen looks
exhausted. Mater is still full of energy.
12.
MATER
Boy, this was the best day ever!
And my favorite souvenir?
Mater proudly shows off a dent.
MATER
This new dent!
MCQUEEN
Boy, Mater. Today was, uh...
MATER
Shoot, that was nothing. Wait til
you see what I got planned for
tonight.
MCQUEEN
Mater, Mater. Whoa. I was kind of
thinking of just a quiet dinner.
MATER
That's exactly what I was thinking.
MCQUEEN
No, I... I meant with Sally, Mater.
MATER
Even better! You, me and Miss Sally
going out for supper.
McQueen pulls around in front of Mater, stops.
MCQUEEN
Mater, I meant it would be just me
and Sally.
MATER
Oh.
MCQUEEN
It's just for tonight. We'll do
whatever you want tomorrow.
MATER
(DISAPPOINTED)
Okay.
MCQUEEN
Thanks for understanding.
MATER
Yeah, sure. Y'all go on and have
fun now.
13.
MCQUEEN
Alright, then. See ya soon, amigo!
McQueen drives off. Mater watches him go.
EXT. THE WHEEL WELL - NIGHT
It's been converted into a white-tablecloth restaurant, with
cars dining al fresco and a hopping gastropub inside.
MCQUEEN AND SALLY have a prime table with a view of Radiator
Springs and the starry night sky.
SALLY
This is so nice.
MCQUEEN
I can't tell you how good it is to
be here alone. Just the two of us.
Finally, you and me ---
MATER (O.S.)
Good evening.
Mater is at their table, dressed as a waiter.
MATER
My name is Mater and I'll be your
waiter.
(TO HIMSELF)
Mater the waiter. That's funny
right there.
MCQUEEN
Mater, you work here?
MATER
Well yeah I work here. What'd you
think, I just snuck in here when
nobody was looking and pretended to
be your waiter, just so I could
hang out with you?
McQueen and Sally exchange a look.
MCQUEEN
Oh, yeah. How ridiculous would that
be?
MATER
Now, can I start you two lovebirds
off with a couple drinks?
14.
MCQUEEN
Yes. I'll have my usual.
SALLY
You know what? I'm going to have
that too.
Mater blinks.
MATER
Uh, right. Your usual.
CUT TO:
INSIDE AT THE BAR - Fillmore and Sarge watch as Guido mixes
drinks, ala "Cocktail." Mater arrives.
MATER
Guido! What's McQueen's usual?
GUIDO
(in Italian, subtitled)
How should I know?
MATER
Perfect! Give me two of `em.
SARGE
Quiet! My program's on.
MEL DORADO (O.S.)
Tonight on "The Mel Dorado Show"!
ON THE BAR TV - "THE MEL DORADO SHOW," a cable talk show,
begins with file footage of MILES AXLEROD, a sleek SUV.
MEL DORADO (ON TV)
His story gripped the world! Oil
billionaire Miles Axlerod, in an
attempt to become the first car to
circumnavigate the globe without
GPS, ironically ran out of gas and
found himself trapped in the wild!
We see images of newspaper headlines, search crews.
MEL DORADO (ON TV)
Feared dead, he emerged 36 days
later, running on a fuel he'd
distilled himself from the natural
elements! Since then he's sold his
oil fortune, converted himself from
a gas-guzzler into an electric car,
and has devoted his life to finding
a renewable, clean-burning fuel!
15.
Images of oil derricks torn down; Miles Axlerod getting
converted to electric; lab scientists testing chemicals.
MEL DORADO (ON TV)
Now he claims to have done it with
his Allinol.
Images of fields, rivers, vegetables, and mountains all
combining to form the Allinol logo.
MEL DORADO (ON TV)
And to show the world what his new
superfuel can do, he's created a
racing competition like no other,
inviting the greatest champions
from around the globe to battle in
the first ever World Grand Prix.
Welcome Sir Miles Axlerod.
SIR MILES AXLEROD arrives, parks across from Mel's desk.
MILES AXLEROD (ON TV)
Thank you, Mel. It is very good to
be here. Now listen to me: Big Oil.
It costs a fortune. Pollution is
getting worse. I mean, come on.
It's a fossil fuel. Fossil. As in
dead dinosaurs. And we all know
what happened to them. Alternative
energy is the future. Trust me,
Mel, after seeing Allinol in action
at the World Grand Prix, nobody
will ever go back to gasoline
again.
MATER
(TO FILLMORE)
What happened to the dinosaurs,
now?
MEL DORADO (ON TV)
And on satellite, a World Grand
Prix competitor and one of the
fastest cars in the world,
Francesco Bernoulli.
Across the screen: LIVE FROM ROME, ITALY. We meet Formula
race car FRANCESCO BERNOULLI.
FRANCESCO (ON TV)
It is an honor, Signore Dorado. For
you.
16.
MEL DORADO (ON TV)
Miles, why not invite Lightning
McQueen?
Mater, collecting his drinks, looks up, half-intrigued.
MILES AXLEROD (ON TV)
Of course we invited him. But
apparently after a very long racing
season he is taking some time off
to rest.
FRANCESCO (ON TV)
Lightning McQueen would not have a
chance against Francesco!
Mater doesn't like this.
FRANCESCO (ON TV)
I can go over 300 kilometers an
hour! In miles that is like, uh...
way faster than McQueen.
MEL DORADO (ON TV)
Let's go to the phones. Baltimore,
Maryland, you're on the air.
CALLER (ON TV)
Am I on? Hello?
MEL DORADO (ON TV)
You're on. Go ahead.
CALLER (ON TV)
Hello?
MEL DORADO (ON TV)
Go ahead, caller.
Dial tone.
MEL DORADO (ON TV)
Let's go to Radiator Springs.
You're on, caller.
MATER'S VOICE (ON TV)
Yeah, that Italian feller you got
on there can't talk that way about
Lightning McQueen. He's the bestest
race car in the whole wide world.
Fillmore and Sarge look around. Mater is visible in the back
of the bar on an office phone.
17.
SARGE
Uh-oh...
FRANCESCO (ON TV)
If he is, how you say "the bestest
race car," then why must he rest,
eh?
MATER'S VOICE (ON TV)
Cause he knows what's important.
Every now and then he prefers just
to slow down, enjoy life.
FRANCESCO (ON TV)
Ah, you heard it! Lightning McQueen
prefers to be slow! Of course, this
is not news to Francesco. When I
want to go to sleep I watch one of
his races. After two laps I am out
cold.
Audible RXNS from the bar. A crowd has been forming ever
since Mater started talking.
MATER'S VOICE (ON TV)
That ain't what I meant.
CUT TO:
MCQUEEN AND SALLY - They hear the commotion inside.
MCQUEEN
Hey, what's going on over there?
CUT BACK TO:
THE BAR - Sally and McQueen push through the crowd, see that
they're watching Francesco on the television.
MCQUEEN
(TO SALLY)
Oh, it's that Italian Formula car.
His name is ---
SALLY
Francesco Bernoulli. No wonder
there's a crowd.
When Sally says his name, she enunciates each part, as if
Italian were her mother's tongue.
MCQUEEN
Wait, why do you know his name? And
don't say it like that. It's three
syllables, not ten.
18.
SALLY
What? He's nice to look at. You
know, open-wheeled and all.
MCQUEEN
What's wrong with fenders? I
thought you like my fenders.
MATER'S VOICE (ON TV)
Well let me tell you something else
there, Mr. San Francisco ---
MCQUEEN
Mater?
MATER'S VOICE (ON TV)
McQueen could drive circles around
you.
FRANCESCO (ON TV)
Driving in circles is all he can
do, no?
MATER'S VOICE (ON TV)
No! I mean yes. I mean he could
beat you anywhere, anytime, any
track.
On McQueen - he looks at Guido who gives a nod over to ---
--- Mater, turned away from the crowd, still on the phone.
FRANCESCO (ON TV)
Mel, can we move on? Francesco
needs a caller who can provide a
little more intellectual
stimulation. Like a dump truck.
ON MCQUEEN. He doesn't like this at all.
MATER
Ha ha! That shows what you know.
Dump trucks is dumb.
Suddenly, Mater is YANKED from the booth and replaced by
McQueen.
MCQUEEN (INTO PHONE)
Yeah, hi, this is Lightning
McQueen. Look, I don't appreciate
my best friend being insulted like
that.
19.
FRANCESCO (ON TV)
McQueen! That was your best friend?
This is the difference between you
and Francesco. Francesco knows how
good he is. He does not need to
surround himself with tow trucks to
prove it.
MCQUEEN
Those are strong words from a car
that is so fragile.
FRANCESCO (ON TV)
Fragilé!? He calls Francesco
fragilé? Not so fast, McQueen!
MCQUEEN
"Not so fast." What is that, your
new motto?
Francesco goes ballistic in Italian. They cut his mic.
MILES AXLEROD (ON TV)
Well, this sounds like something
that needs to be settled on the
race course. What do you say,
Lightning McQueen? We've still got
room for one more racer.
MCQUEEN
Well, I would love to. The only
thing is my crew's off for the
season so ---
A sound O.S. McQueen turns to see Fillmore, Sarge and Luigi
flank a tablecloth which is hanging off the bar. Ramone backs
away, having spray painted "TEAM LIGHTNING MCQUEEN" on it.
Guido quickly uncorks three wine bottles.
GUIDO
Pit stop.
McQueen turns back to the phone.
MCQUEEN
You know what? They just got back.
Deal me in, baby. Ka-chow!
The place ERUPTS IN CHEERS.
MOMENTS LATER - General excitement as McQueen exits the phone
booth where Sally waits. Off her look:
20.
MCQUEEN
I know, I know. I just got back.
But we won't be long and ---
SALLY
Oh, no, don't worry about me. I've
got enough to do here. Mater's
going to have a blast though.
(off McQueen's silence)
You're bringing Mater, right? You
never bring him to any of your
races.
McQueen turns to the bar where Mater privately tries their
drinks, hates it, spits it back in the glass.
SALLY
Just let him sit in the pits, give
him a headset. C'mon, it'll be a
thrill of a lifetime for him.
Mater arrives.
MATER
Your drinks, sir.
MCQUEEN
Mater.
MATER
I didn't taste it!
MCQUEEN
How'd you like to come and see the
world with me?
MATER
You mean it?
MCQUEEN
You got me into this thing. You're
coming along.
BEGIN MONTAGE:
- McQueen is given a new paint job and headlights by Ramone.
Mater, now sporting a "Team McQueen" emblem, seems psyched as
well.
- An airport DEPARTURES SIGN advertises the next flight:
Tokyo, Japan.
- Mater waves goodbye with his hook alongside McQueen, Guido,
Luigi, Fillmore and Sarge as ---
21.
--- the rest of Radiator Springs watches them board a plane.
Red bawls.
- IN THE JET, LATER. McQueen and Mater are the only ones
awake, watch an insane Japanese game show.
- JAPAN AT NIGHT. A stylish Tokyo cityscape of neon, glamour,
scrolling billboards, vending machines and high-tech
skyscrapers.
- INSIDE A SOUVENIR SHOP loaded with McQueen toys: Mater and
McQueen enter. A tourist sees McQueen and faints.
- A KABUKI THEATER. Team McQueen watches a methodical dance.
Mater, dressed in Kabuki makeup, arrives. He looks insane.
- A SUMO MATCH - Two SUZUKI SAMURAI CARS wrestle over a
parking space. Mater, now in his element, cheers.
The MONTAGE ENDS on this high note as we CUT TO ---
EXT. MUSEUM - TOKYO - NIGHT
---- TEAM MCQUEEN, as they roll up the red carpet. Press is
held at bay behind ropes. WORLD GRAND PRIX and ALLINOL logos
are strategically placed for maximum press exposure. RACERS
are interviewed by press behind the red-carpet ropes.
INT. TOKYO MUSEUM - NIGHT
Team McQueen enters via a second floor landing which
overlooks a massive indoor party in a converted museum. As
they roll down a ramp to the party, they are awed.
LUIGI
Guido, look! Ferraris and tires!
Let's go!
MCQUEEN
(IMPRESSED)
Hey, look at this. Okay now Mater,
remember: best behavior.
MATER
You got it, buddy. Hey, what's
that?
He sees something, peels away.
MCQUEEN
Mater!
LEWIS HAMILTON
Hey, McQueen, over here!
22.
It's fellow racers JEFF GORVETTE and LEWIS HAMILTON. McQueen
now has no choice but to let Mater go.
MCQUEEN
Hey, Jeff. Lewis!
CUT TO:
MATER as he approaches a GLASS-ENCLOSED ROCK GARDEN where a
pitty RAKES rocks with precision. He knocks on the glass with
his hook.
MATER
Hey! You done good! You got all the
leaves!
People turn at the noise he's making.
CUT BACK TO:
MCQUEEN, JEFF and LEWIS.
JEFF GORVETTE
Check out that tow truck.
LEWIS HAMILTON
I wonder who that guy's with?
MCQUEEN
Will you guys excuse me just for
one little second?
He zips over to Mater's side, quickly pulls him out of sight.
MCQUEEN
Mater, listen. This isn't Radiator
Springs.
MATER
You're just realizing that? Boy,
that jet-lag really done a number
on you.
MCQUEEN
Mater, look -- things are different
over here. Which means maybe you
should, you know, act a little
different too.
MATER
Different than what?
MCQUEEN
Well, just... help me out here,
buddy. I ---
23.
MATER
You need help? Shoot, why didn't
you just say so? That's what a tow
truck does. Hey, looky there, it's
Mr. San Francisco!
FRANCESCO is visible across the room, holding court.
MATER
I'll introduce you.
MCQUEEN
Mater, no.
MATER
(already on his way)
Look at me -- I'm helping you
already!
On FRANCESCO - MOMENTS LATER. Mater approaches, giddy.
MATER
Hey Mr. San Francisco, I'd like you
to meet ---
FRANCESCO
Lightning McQueen! Buona sera.
MCQUEEN
Nice to meet you, Francesco.
FRANCESCO
Yeah, nice to meet you too. You are
very good-looking. Not as good as I
thought, but you're good.
MATER
(TO FRANCESCO)
Excuse me. Can I get a picture with
you?
FRANCESCO
Anything for McQueen's friend.
As Mater poses for a photo with Francesco:
MATER
Miss Sally is gonna flip when she
sees this. She's Lightning
McQueen's girlfriend.
FRANCESCO
Oooh.
24.
MATER
She's a big fan of yours.
FRANCESCO
Hey, she has good taste.
MCQUEEN
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.
MCQUEEN
Mentioning it once doesn't qualify
as going "on and on."
FRANCESCO
Francesco is familiar with this
reaction to Francesco. Women
respect a car that has nothing to
hide.
MCQUEEN
Yeah, uh...
FRANCESCO
Let us have a toast.
McQueen doesn't like where this is going, covers.
MCQUEEN
Let's.
FRANCESCO
(raising a drink)
I dedicate my win tomorrow... to
Miss Sally.
MCQUEEN
Oh, sorry. I already dedicated MY
win tomorrow to her. So if we both
do it, it's really not so special.
Besides, I don't have a drink.
MATER
I'll go get you one. You mind if I
borrow a few bucks for one of them
drinks?
25.
MCQUEEN
(could kill him)
They're free, Mater.
MATER
Free? Well, shoot, what am I doing
here?
Mater ZIPS OFF.
MCQUEEN
I should probably go keep an eye on
him. See you at the race.
McQueen starts to leave.
FRANCESCO
Yes, you will see Francesco. But
not like this.
Francesco does a 180, so his rear end now faces McQueen.
FRANCESCO
You will see him like this, as he
drives away from you.
Francesco wears a bumper sticker that says "Ciao, McQueen!"
MCQUEEN
That's cute. So you had one of
those made up for all the racers?
FRANCESCO
No.
MCQUEEN
Okay.
He rolls off.
MCQUEEN
He is so getting beat tomorrow.
INT. PARTY - MOMENTS LATER
Lights caress the main stage where a crowd has formed.
VOICE
Ladies and gentlecars... Sir Miles
Axlerod!
MILES AXLEROD drives through an infinity fountain, appears.
26.
MILES AXLEROD
It is my absolute honor to
introduce to you the competitors in
the first-ever World Grand Prix.
From Brazil. Number eight...
ON FINN MCMISSILE. He appears from the shadows, keeps a
careful distance from the stage. He ZEROES HIS GAZE ON ---
--- THE WORLD GRAND PRIX TV CAMERAS which roll, catching
Miles Axlerod's speech for publicity and posterity.
Finn's ONBOARD COMPUTER ANALYZES each one, compares to the
photos we saw him snap on the oil platform. Each one is "NOT
A MATCH." His view is suddenly disrupted by A BEAUTIFUL
SPORTS CAR. She approaches Finn. Meet HOLLEY SHIFTWELL.
HOLLEY
A Volkswagen Karmann Ghia has no
radiator.
fuck you guys everytime in on mobile
