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.
