 * Darrell Cartrip: You know the rookie just fired his crew chief. That's the third one this season!
 * Bob Cutlass: [The other racers are seen driving through the pit lane back onto the track] Well, he says he likes working alone, Darrell. [While Bob is talking, Chick is seen ending his pit stop as the other racers are driving past him, Chick then starts off, getting in the middle of the queue.]
 * Chick's coach: Go, go, go!
 * Bob Cutlass: Looks like Chick got caught up in the pits.
 * Darrell Cartrip: Yeah, after a stop like that, he's got a lot of ground to make up. Get ready boys, we're coming to the restart!

 * Lightning McQueen: No, no, no, no! No tires, just gas! [drives away]
 * Not Chuck: You need tires, you idiot! [One of the pitties slams a tire onto the ground.]
 * Darrell Cartrip: Looks like it's all gas-and-go's for McQueen today.
 * Bob Cutlass: That's right. No tires again.
 * Darrell Cartrip: Normally I said a short-term gain, long-term loss, but it's sure is workin' for him. He obviously knows somethin' we don't know.

[The scene continues progressing through the race, with McQueen having a huge lead and starting the last lap.]
 * Bob Cutlass: This is it, Darrell, one lap to go and Lightning McQueen has a huge lead.
 * Darrell Cartrip: All he's got it in the bag. Call in the dogs and put out the fire! We're gonna crowd us a new champion! [all cheering and whistling, Mia and Tia screams]

 * Darrell Cartrip: Down the stretch they come! And it's, and it's... [The King and Chick cross the finish line along with McQueen stretching his tongue out over it.]
 * Bob Cutlass: It's too close to call! Too close to call!
 * Darrell Cartrip: I don't believe it! I don't believe it!
 * Mia & Tia: Lightning! [Screams, all cheering]
 * Bob Cutlass: [while Darrell is talking] The most spectacular, amazing unequivocally, unbelievable ending in the history of the world! And we don't even know who won!

 * [The screen shows from a reporter's camera filming Kori Turbowitz with McQueen and his pit crew as the Rust-eze pitties change his tires]
 * Kori Turbowitz: We're here in Victory Lane, awaiting the race results. McQueen that was quite a risky move, not taking tires.
 * Not Chuck: Tell me about it.
 * Kori Turbowitz: Are you sorry you don't have a crew chief out there?
 * Lightning McQueen's Crew: [laughs]
 * Lightning McQueen: [Chuckles] Oh, Kori, there's a lot more to racing than just winning. I mean, taking the race by a full lap, where's the entertainment in that? No, no, no, I wanted to give folks a little sizzle.
 * Not Chuck: Sizzle?
 * Lightning McQueen: Am I sorry I don't have a crew chief? No, I'm not. Cause I'm a one-man show.
 * Not Chuck: What? Oh, yeah right.
 * Kori Turbowitz: [to the TV audience] That was a very confident Lightning McQueen. Coming to you live from Victory Lane, I'm Kori Turbowitz.
 * Cameramen: [Kori then drives away, while the reporter tries to get McQueen's bolt sticker on the TV screen. Not Chuck was blocking the view while changing one of McQueen's tires] Hey, get out of the shot!
 * Lightning McQueen: Yo, Chuck, what are you doing? You're blocking the camera! Everyone wants to see the bolt!
 * Not Chuck: WHAT?!
 * Lightning McQueen: Now, back away.
 * Not Chuck: [grunts and slams his air wrench towards the ground] THAT'S IT!! Come on, guys! [The Rust-eze pitties then leave, as one of the pitties drops his side onto the ground]
 * Lightning McQueen: OOWWWWW! Whoa, team! Where are you going?
 * Not Chuck: WE QUIT, MR. ONE-MAN SHOW!
 * Lightning McQueen: Oh, oh, oh, oh, okay, leave. Fine! [laughs] How will I ever find anyone else who knows how to fill me up with gas?

[The crowd then laughs]
 * Lightning McQueen: Adios, Chuck!
 * Not Chuck: AND MY NAME'S NOT CHUCK!
 * Lightning McQueen: Oh, whatever.
 * Chick: Hey, Lightning! Yo, McQueen, seriously, that was some pretty darn nice racin' out there. [suddenly makes a sudden movie] BY ME! [Chuckles] Welcome to the Chick era, baby! The Piston Cup, it's mine, dude. It's mine. Hey, fellas, how do you think I'm look in Dinoco blue? DINOCO BLUE! [Continues chuckling]
 * Lightning McQueen: In your dreams, Thunder.
 * Chick: Yeah, right. Thunder? What's he talkin' about, "Thunder"?
 * Lightning McQueen: You know, because thunder always comes after... Lightning! [poses to the crowd] Pew, ka-ka-pow! [to his pitties]
 * Chick: Who here knew about the thunder thing?
 * Chick's crew: I didn't.
 * Cameramen: [The crowd then tries to take pictures of McQueen posing his flashing bolt sticker to them] Give us the bolt! That's right. Right in the lens. Show me the bolt, baby! Smile, McQueen! Show me the bolt, McQueen! That's it!
 * Tex: [Electronic music plays as the screen then shows some people entering the Dinoco tent, and some others chattering as they take pictures of the Dinoco Girls on stage. Then it shows Tex Dinoco, The King and Lynda Weathers] Oh, we that was one close finish. You sure made Dinoco proud. Thank you, King.

 * Tia: I'm Tia.
 * Mia & Tia: We're like your biggest fans! Ka-chow! [they flash McQueen with their headlights]
 * Lightning McQueen: I love being me. [Then two police officers come up to move Mia and Tia away.]
 * Security: Okay, girls, that's it.
 * Mia & Tia: We love you, Lightning, we love you, more!

[''McQueen laughs, and blows a kiss to Mia and Tia. Then The King comes up.'']
 * The King: Hey, buddy. You're one gutsy racer.
 * Lightning McQueen: Oh, hey, Mr. The King.
 * The King: You got more talent in one lug nut than a lot of cars has got in their whole body.
 * Lightning McQueen: Really? Oh, that...
 * The King: But you're stupid.
 * Lightning McQueen: Excuse me?
 * The King: This ain't a one-man deal, kid. You need to wise-up and get yourself a good crew chief and a good team. And you ain't gonna win unless you got good folks behind you, [his voice dwindles as McQueen looks towards the Dinoco stage] and you let them do their job, like they should. Like I tell the boys at the shop...
 * Lightning McQueen: [to himself] A good team, Yeah.

[''Electronic music plays as McQueen daydreams of being sponsored by Dinoco. It shows him with a trophy and two Dinoco Girls beside him, with one of the girls kissing him on the cheek.

Then it shows McQueen on the covers of some magazines, and then it shows him with Mia and Tia in Dinoco paint on a red carpet being surrounded by a cheering crowd. Then it shows the text "Lightning McQueen is Lightning Storm". It shows some people being attacked by some giant robots with bodies shaped like spark plugs. One person, who gets zapped by a robot's laser, does the Wilhelm scream as he turns to dust. McQueen is flying in the air, and shoots missiles at the robots. Then the screen shows McQueen with Mia and Tia around the crowd from on the red carpet, which McQueen signs his tire marks on the Walk of Fame. Then it shows him inside a building near the Hollywood Sign, which he is between Mia and Tia painted gold. Both Mia and Tia repeatedly kiss McQueen on the sides. Then his daydream ends as the screen shows the present day.'']
 * The King: [to McQueen] If you figure that out, you just gonna be, okay?
 * Lightning McQueen: [McQueen clears throat] Oh, yeah, that is spectacular advice. Thank you, Mr. The King! Oh!
 * Bob Cutlass: [on speakers] Ladies and gentlemen, for the first time in Piston Cup history...
 * Lightning McQueen: [revving his engine] A rookie has won the Piston Cup. [He then drives through the wallpaper of the stage to the front] YES!!
 * Bob Cutlass: [on speakers] ...we've a 3-way tie!
 * [McQueen was shocked at this. The crowd then cheers and flashes their cameras as confetti shoots out. Then The King and Chick come onto the stage]
 * Chick: [Laughs] Hey, McQueen, that must be really embarrassing, but I wouldn't be worry about it, because I didn't do it! [laughing]
 * Bob Cutlass: Piston Cup officials have determined that a tiebreaker race between the three leaders will be held in California in one week.
 * Chick: Well, thank you! Thanks to all of you out there! Thank you! [Whispering to McQueen] Hey, rook, first one to California gets Dinoco all to himself. [Screaming to the crowd] Aaaah! No, not me! No, you rock, and you know that!

Oh, we'll see who gets there first, Chick. [They then come to McQueen's trailer's parking space, but the trailer isn't there.] Huh?
 * Mack: Hey, kid! Congrats on the tie.
 * Lightning McQueen: I don't want to talk about it. Come on, let's go, Mack. Saddle up. What'd you do with my trailer?

And I use Rust-eze Medicated Bumper Ointment, new rear end formula! Nothing soothes rusty bumper like Rust-ezzzzzeeee. [A picture of a Rust-eze container moves across the rear bumper of a rusty car named Jonathan Wrenchworths. As the container moves across, the bumper shines. Text appears saying "Actual results may take up to 36 weeks."] Wow! Look at that shine! Use Rust-eze and you too can look like me! Ka-chow!
 * Rusty: [The commercial ends, and the screen zooms out to show the rusty cars in the Rust-eze tent. On the stage was the founder brothers Rusty and Dusty Rust-eze laughing] I met this car from Swampscott. He was so rusty he didn't even cast a shadow. [laughs]

Oh, I needed this... [presses a button to respond to the phone call, which makes the brushes go into the roof of the trailer] Hello?
 * Harv: Is this Lightning McQueen, the world's fastest racing machine?
 * Lightning McQueen: Is this Harv, the world's greatest agent?
 * Harv: And it is such a honor to be your agent and it almost hurts to take ten percent of your winnings and merchandising and ancillary rights in perpetuity anyway. What a race! Huh, champ?! I did-- I didn't see it, but I heard you were great.
 * Lightning McQueen: [pressing buttons to change TV channels showing the finish of the previous race] Uh... Thanks, Harv.

Snot Rod, meanwhile, was overtaking the first car onto the right lane and going along the same lane until he overtakes Duff. After, he then starts to sneeze. Snot Rod sniffles, and sneezes.

DJ drives onto the right lane beside, while Wingo and Boost drive onto the left lane. Snot Rod is behind Mack. Wingo then notices his reflection on Mack's trailer, and turns his interior lights on.

 * Lightning McQueen: Mack! [He then drives back onto the lane, grunting as he drives in front of some traffic honking their horns. McQueen continues driving faster and overtaking some cars while trying to find Mack.] Mack! [He then comes across the queue of trucks and a few cars. He then accelerates faster, trying to find which truck is Mack.] Mack! Hey, Mack! Mack! [He notices a truck exiting the highway onto another road, thinking that it is Mack.] Mack! Mack, wait for me! [His engine is heard revving as he turns onto the same road that the truck is driving along. His tires squeal as he slides onto the road, and he drives along the road with the truck far ahead.] Mack! [The truck, whose face is not seen properly, then crosses a level crossing without barriers. Afterwards, the bell starts to ring as the pair of antique "upper-quadrant" wigwag crossing signals wave. McQueen then notice this and look to their left to see a train coming. McQueen and then go faster as . The train, named notices him and bellows his horn. McQueen get closer and closer to the level crossing. Thanks to good timing, he crosses the level crossing just in time before Trev could hit him.] Mack! Mack! [He then gets closer to the truck, who is slowing down at a 3-way junction.] Mack! Mack! Wait up! [coughs from the truck's fumes] Mack. Mack! Mack! [He then drive alongside the truck, but its trailer's side shows a sponsor for "Recycled Batteries". The screen then shows the truck, who is actually a Peterbilt named Jerry Recycled Batteries and is not Mack at all.] You're not Mack.
 * Peterbilt: Mack?! I ain't no Mack, I'm a Peterbilt for dang sake! [drives off] Turn on your lights, you moron!

Part 6: Into Town

 * Lightning McQueen: Mack... the Interstate!! [Then McQueen moves backwards and drive left, forgetting that he was actually on the right road to the Interstate before driving onto the wrong road. The screen moves to show that he is actually on Route 66, then it shows an aerial view of him driving along. He then drives past a billboard where Sheriff was, with his roaring engine waking him up. Sheriff gasps and waking up]
 * Sheriff: Not in my town, you don't... [chases after McQueen with his siren wailing]
 * Lightning McQueen: [notices Sheriff] Oh, no. Oh, maybe he can help me! [Suddenly, Sheriff is heard backfiring. McQueen thought that Sheriff was shooting at them.] He's shooting at me?! Why is he shooting at me?!
 * Sheriff: [backfiring] I haven't gone this fast in years. [Sheriff grunts as he backfires again] I'm gonna blow a gasket or somethin'.
 * Lightning McQueen: Serpentine, serpentine, serpentine!
 * Sheriff: [noticing our heroes doing serpentine] What in the blue blazes?! Crazy hot-rodder! [he continues chasing McQueen and the whole team as his siren continues wailing.]

[''The scene then shows Radiator Springs, with the song My Heart Would Know by Hank Williams playing. It shows a montage of the different characters. Some bugs are heard buzzing as they get attracted by the lights of Flo's V8 Cafe. Guido tries to keep a tire upright on top of another tire lying flat on the ground, which a sign being blown by the breeze keeps tilting it. Then it shows the statue of Stanley, which Red the fire truck is seen watering flowers around the statue. Lizzie is seen sleeping outside her curio shop. Ramone, Flo, Sarge and Fillmore are seen at Flo's V8 Cafe as Fillmore was watching the intersection traffic light, which its amber light is blinking.'']
 * Filmore: I'm telling you, man, every third blink is slower.
 * Sarge: The sixties weren't good to you, were they? [Then they hear backfiring noises as the music stops. The scene then goes to McQueen and the whole of still being chased by Sheriff as they all see Radiator Springs in the distance.]
 * Lightning McQueen: What? That's not the Interstate! [Suddenly, Sheriff backfires again. He screaming and McQueen's as he hits some traffic cones] Ow, ow, ow, ow! [McQueen then drives off the road, and comes across a giant cone. He screaming and all stopped themselves to watch McQueen go out of control, helpless to stop him. McQueen tires screeching, then drive away across the road. He comes up towards a fence.] No, no, no, no! [He hits the fence, getting it caught on him.] Ow! [McQueen's then heading towards a sign. He screaming and McQueen then drive to the left, heading for Flo's V8 Cafe.]
 * Filmore: I'm not the only seeing this, right?

[McQueen then appears, driving out of control and knocking over some cans.]
 * Sarge: Incoming!
 * Filmore: Whoa, man!
 * Sarge: No! [Sarge, Fillmore and Ramone drive out of the way. The fence hits Ramone's body. Guido hides behind the sign.]
 * Ramone: Hey, you scratch my paint!
 * Lightning McQueen: Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa!
 * Luigi: My tires!

[''He then drives along the main road towards, with tires all over his body. McQueen grunts as he spits out a tire in his mouth, Red gasps and drives into the building, McQueen's continues driving along the road, spotting Stanley's statue. He screaming and he then drives around the statue, while hitting Red's flowers. Red gasps at his flowers being hit, the fence gets caught on Stanley's statue. McQueen notices, and tries to move backwards to get away from the statue. His tires squealing, and the cables vibrating as the statue starts to come off. Finally, the statue goes up into the air. McQueen's stops moving, glad that the statue was gone. Suddenly, the statue lands in front of him on the road. He screaming. He turns around and drives away, while pulling Stanley's statue. The pole beneath the base was destroying the road. He screaming and Flo, Ramone, Fillmore, Sarge and the whole of all watch as McQueen screams goes past them. The statue continues damaging the road before finally going up a ramp beside the road. The ramp splits in half as the statue lands on some telephone wires. He grunting as he struggles to move, McQueen's then lose his grip, and the force pulls his back. He ends up hanging from the telephone wires as Stanley's statue flies through the air.'']
 * Filmore: Fly away, Stanley. Be free! [Red gasps as the statue comes towards him, and drives back into the courthouse, the statue lands back in its place, and the water resumes shooting out. Red then looks with shock. The music resumes as Sheriff drives slowly to McQueen who is still hanging from the telephone wires. Sheriff panting heavily]
 * Sheriff: Boy, you're in a heap of trouble. [McQueen sighs and closes his eyes and passed out]

 * Lightning McQueen: Take whatever you want! Just don't hurt me! [McQueen tries to reverse, then he felt a bump and heard a thud. He notices a parking boot on his tire, which it moves ahead as his tire was moving backwards.] The parking boot? Why do I have a parking boot on? [The screen zooms out to show our heroes in the impound.] What's going on here?! Please!
 * Tow Mater: [McQueen tries to push the parking boot back, but it wouldn't go underneath his tire. Materchuckles] You're funny, I like you already. My name's Mater.

[''The door bangs as Doc Hudson comes in, which the screen shows him from his side as he drives to his bench. McQueen gasps as he hears the door bang'']
 * Doc Hudson: Alright, I wanna know who's responsible for wrecking my town, Sheriff. I wanna his hood on a platter! I'm gonna put him in jail till he rots! No, check that. [McQueen gulps. He gets on some ramps that move him 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.

 * Sally Carrera: [stops, and turns to McQueen] He's letting you go?
 * Lightning McQueen: 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. [reflects sunlight on his bolt sticker] Ka-chow! [The reflected sunlight shines on Sally's eyes; Sally groans, grunts] I know, I get that reaction a lot. I create feelings in others that they themselves don't understand. [stops reflecting sunlight, revs his engine. Sally groans] Oh, I'm sorry. Did I scare you?
 * Tow Mater: Well, a little bit, but I'll be alright?
 * Sally Carrera: Okay, I'm gonna go talk to the judge.
 * Lightning McQueen: 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?
 * Tow Mater: [Then we see Mater, who is trying to reflect sunlight on his wing mirror like what McQueen did with his bolt sticker earlier.] Ka-chhhhhing! [Then the sunlight goes into his eyes.] [Mater groans]

 * Sarge: [in voice] Travelers? What travelers?
 * Filmore: [in voice] Ignore him.
 * Sally Carrera: But how, I ask you, are we to care for those travelers if there is no road for them to drive on? [to Luigi] Luigi, what do you have at your store?
