- Dusty, eighth place!

Way to go, Dustmeister!

- Hey! You finally removed your M5000.

- His what?

His Micro-Air-5000-D-L

Aerial Applicator.

Use your words.

His sprayer.

Right! Sprayer.

Dusty, you got a big leg tomorrow.

- Yeah.

- SKIPPER:
How you feeling?

CHUG:
I can't believe it.

The mighty Himalayas.

DOTTIE:
Dusty, that vertical wind shear

is going to be wicked

over those mountains.

Well, the good thing

about being that high up,

you see, there's not a lot of oxygen.

So, if you crash, no explosion.

Great, Chug.

(CHUCKLES) Of course,

you could die of hypothermia

or an avalanche could get you.

Then, of course, there's

pneumonia, or even frostbite.

Chug, Chug, I got it.

Skip, what if a guy wanted to fly

through the mountains

instead of over them?

SKIPPER:
Bad idea. The Wrenches

flew through terrain like that

in the Assault of Kunming.

And Dottie is right.

Wind coming over the peaks

can stir up rotors

that'll drag you right down.

If you ask me, it's time to lug-nut up.

You can fly a whole lot higher

than you think.

- Roger that.

- EL CHUPACABRA:
Hola, corazn.

- Are you tired?

- What?

Because you have been flying

through my mind, nonstop.

Hmm. And why would I be tired flying

through such a teeny, tiny space, huh?

You can only pretend for so long.

Hey, El Chu, what's the problem?

(SIGHS) I am Icarus and she is the sun.

I fly too close and I melt.

Maybe you're trying too hard.

Look, all you got to do is go over,

open your mouth and say...

ISHANI:
Hello.

DUSTY:
Wha... Uh...

Whoa.

(GULPS)

El Chupacabra!

I think someone is calling me.

I have to go.

I wanted to compliment you

on your success, Dusty.

You're doing very well

for your first race.

Aw, that means a lot, coming from you.

I mean, come on,

you were named most aerodynamic

racer by Air Sports illustrated.

And let me just say,

you are so aerodynamic.

Dusty.

(GIGGLES)

(TRACTOR MOOING)

DUSTY:
What's with

all the tractors around here?

They're sacred.

Many believe that

we will be recycled as tractors.

Oh. Well, I believe in recycling.

Have you ever been to the Taj Mahal?

No. No, I haven't.

Come on. Let's go.

It must be nice to be back home.

Well, it's complicated.

I have a billion fans.

And they're all expecting me to win.

- Maybe this time, you will.

- (LAUGHS)

DUSTY:
Wow.

This place is amazing.

It really is.

And tomorrow, you'll fly over

the magnificent Himalayas.

Those little hills?

Yeah, well... No big deal.

You like to fly low, don't you?

Oh. Oh, that? Uh, that's strategic.

Air density and, uh, combustion.

You know, you could follow

the Iron Compass, instead.

- Iron Compass?

- Yeah, rail road tracks.

Through a valley in the mountains,

so you can still fly low.

Really?

Thanks, Ishani.

Anytime.

BRENT:
Every racer's nightmare

is scaling the Himalayas.

It's a short leg ahead,

but extremely treacherous.

(GASPS)

(BREATHING HEAVILY)

(EXHALES)

(SIGHS IN RELIEF)

No.

Ow! Ah!

(TRAIN WHISTLE BLOWING)

Whoa!

(GASPS)

Whoa!

Uh...

(ECHOING) Hello?

Is this where I'm supposed to be?

That is one of life's great questions.

(GASPS)

I'm dead!

Mr. Crophopper.

Welcome to Nepal.

I don't understand.

Have the others left already?

Actually, no one else is here yet.

You're in first place.

Really?

He flew through a what?

- A tunnel?

- That is crazy!

S, crazy like a Firefox.

(INDISTINCT CHATTER)

Dusty, how does it feel

to be in first place?

It feels great.

But more than anything,

I'm just happy I fit through that tunnel.

Guys, I gotta tell you,

if you're ever in a tight squeeze just...

Excuse me, guys.

- Crazy day today, huh?

- (GASPS)

Oh. Yeah, a very exciting

win for you today.

(CHUCKLES)

Quite a risk you took.

Yeah, yeah.

Hey, your propeller, is it new?

Oh. I suppose it is.

Sky Slycer Mark Five, right?

Aren't those made exclusively

for Ripslinger's race team?

- Are they?

- Yeah. Yeah, they are.

Dusty...

- You set me up.

- Look, I didn't ever want to hurt you.

- Why?

- It's complicated, okay?

You could have gotten me

killed out there today.

I really thought that

you'd just turn around.

Well, you were wrong.

And I was wrong about you.

Hey, Rip. Thanks for first place.

(GROWLS)

BRENT:
Flying low and quick,

Dusty Crophopper is managing

to hold on to the top spot.

But current reigning champ, Ripslinger,

is just seconds behind him.

This surprise battle for first place

has made Dusty Crophopper

the one to watch.

He's become a working-class hero

around the globe.

(ROCK MUSIC PLAYING)

ALL:
Whoa!

I told you he could do it.

- That's it.

- Wha... Aw!

That was my skyPad, man.

(SCOFFS) A new one's

coming out in two weeks.

(WHIMPERING)

SKIPPER:
You're really showing them

big-time racers a thing or two, huh?

Yeah. We head out across

the Pacific tomorrow, Skip.

You were stationed there

for a while, right?

- Yeah.

- Got any advice?

Back in '41,

during the Battle over Wake Island

the Wrenches ran into

serious monsoons

with embedded CBs that could

tear your wings right off.

Be careful. And one more thing...

I'm proud of you, Dusty.

Thanks, wingman.

Hey, Dusty, we have a surprise for you.

Oh, oh, oh!

You have to let me tell him.

(CHUCKLES) Go ahead, Chug.

Uh... Oh, I know it. It's...

It's on the tip of my tongue.

I'll remember.

We're going...

CHUG:
We're going...

- to...

- to...

- Mmm...

- Malays...

- Mexico.

- Mexico! That's it!

- We're going to meet you in Mexico.

- Really?

Yep. Tickets are on Sparky and me.

We sold 326 Dusty bobbleheads,

143 antenna balls,

- 203 spinner mugs...

- (BLOWING WHISTLE)

And 1,000 whistles.

Go, Team Dusterino! Yeah!

You sure you're up for it, Skipper?

You bet.

Somebody else is doing the flying.

That's great news, guys.

I'll see you in Mexico.

CHUG:
Buenas noches!

SPARKY:
I'll bring the salsa!

Whoo-hoo!

Hey, El Chu, where's the fire?

It is in my soul.

Tonight, I shall win the heart

of Miss Rochelle.

(MARIACHI MUSIC PLAYING)

- (EL CHUPACABRA WHOOPING)

- Ugh!

(ROCK MUSIC PLAYING)

(SINGING)

No, no, no. A thousand no's.

(CONTINUES SINGING)

(STOPS SINGING)

(SPEAKING SPANISH)

Dusty, what are you doing?

(PLAYING SOFT LATIN MUSIC)

Low and slow.

Oh...

(SINGING WITH PASSION)

(ALL SINGING)

(SPEAKING SPANISH)

(SPEAKING IN FRENCH)

(GIGGLING)

What does that mean?

No idea, but French-Canadian

is the language of love in Quebec.

So, it's got to be good.

I'm in your debt, compadre.

If ever you need me, I shall be there.

DUSTY:
Compadre. I like that.

You are looking live

at Pudong Shanghai

International Airport...

Yep. First place.

Not too bad for a farm boy.

Oh, yeah?

Well, first place is for losers.

Can it, moron!

- Ow!

- (LAUGHS)

Now, listen up.

It's time to make yourselves useful.

(PANTING)

What happened to you?

That song. It flipped a switch.

ROCHELLE:
Oh, my little monster.

Come here.

- EL CHUPACABRA:
Please! No!

- (KISSING)

She is like a jaguar now.

ROCHELLE:
Oh, my little burrito.
