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:
