Cars 4 Ideas
The first idea I’m gonna share is the opening scene which would be the first 7 minutes of the movie which is an unbelievable opening scene of maters where mater has a crazy dream where he and the cloned maters are waking up on a deserted island and they go on a journey through the jungle (the same one from the movie Up 2009) only to find out they’re on a stranded island and they camp for a while and then build boats to get back in radiator springs chanting “Dad Gum!” and when they arrive at the land the title shows “Disney Presents” and then mater immediately wakes up from the dream and sings a song which is in the Tune of the Cars On The Road Theme Song but extended with different lyrics in A Major then in B Major and it ends in C# Major then ends with the Cars 4 logo appearing
Next scene mater notices McQueen still asleep and decides to shoot water to him to wake him up and McQueen gets upset because mater did this so many times
chick hicks is seen in jail mocked my McQueen and Cruz then chick explains story of his bad childhood of like when he was a kid he was always kind but had a dad so selfish since he didn’t have friends but nice and when his dad died his mom was so cruel ignoring chick hicks and telling him that he should be happy that he’s lonely and chick does everything he can to get his mom’s attention until he makes a small mistake which his mom sees as a big mistake and kicks out chick hicks and ends up homeless and ignored when trying to find a new family (making a flashback of his girlfriend dumping him for someone else) until he realized he saw the arrogant McQueen on tv and chick decides he’s gonna act like he thinks racing is about winning when he actually knows it’s more about the people who love you which love is what chick hicks is trying to win which becomes the reason why he’s mischievous and also about mater’s big heart for the cars who had a bad childhood and if they make a scene of everyone (eg lightning McQueen Cruz Ramirez and other radiator springs characters except mater) trying to hurt chick hicks even more then I’d be alright as long as it includes mater standing up for chick hicks and McQueen and Cruz goes crazy and angry out of character at mater making him drive off then catching the attention of Sally who then starts to argue with McQueen about how mater is feeling and then we fade to mater at Flo’s V8 Cafe and then he starts being even more sad because holley didn’t answer him still and is worried that she cheated on him and then he silently thinks of her with flashbacks of the good things she said about him from Cars 2 and then that flashback moves to the Valentine’s days where he overheard McQueen and Sally having fun and he gets sad because he wanted to do that with Holley but someone would always get mad at him then the flashbacks ends and then mater daydreams the future of where he makes a mistake and then holley breaks up with him and turns into a bully and leaves with McQueen and as mater tries to tell Sally but sheriff stops him with a parking boot and then everyone laughs at him and sheriff confirms that this is mater’s punishment and accuses him of acting like mater doesn’t remember doc Hudson (which mater does) then that daydream ends and mater starts crying but decides to daydream himself calling Finn Mcmissle and Finn answers and then they talk to each other and finn says holley misses mater so much but they were busy and mater then asks how to avoid sir miles axelrod the next time he tries to kill other cars but Finn doesn’t know how and recalls rod torque redline disguising himself and mater would give anything to talk to him now and Finn says that there’s no agent smarter than rod then they hang up and the daydream ends but mater doesn’t actually call Finn as he knows that Finn wouldn’t answer as well and is worried he’d catch Holley with Finn
Now in the next scene here’s a script of when Holley returns and mater and Holley goes tractor tipping and then things go wrong
Scene: Holley Returns & Tractor Tipping (Before the Argument)
EXT. RADIATOR SPRINGS – SUNSET
Radiator Springs sits quiet in the golden evening light. The town glows warm and peaceful.
SFX: The distant hum of an engine — smooth, elegant, not from around here.
Mater is hooking up cans behind Flo’s V8 Café, humming happily to himself.
Holley Shiftwell Flies in, landing gracefully and dusting the road with a whisper of wind.
MATER
(eyes widen, gasps)
Holley Shiftwell?!
HOLLEY
(smiling)
Yes, It’s me, Mater. And I am just so happy to finally be seeing your face in person!
Mater smiles as His engine backfires from excitement.
MATER
Well gimme’ some good ol’ dad gum! You’re really here!
He accidentally knocks over a stack of fuel cans.
MATER
Oops! Sorry! my engine gets all tumbled when I’m too excited!
Holley laughs — a real laugh, not a polite agent laugh.
HOLLEY
I’ve been on missions for years. I needed a break. And… I really, really missed you.
Mater blushes.
MATER
Aw shucks… you missed me?
HOLLEY
Of course. So tell me, what’s new here in Radiator Springs?
MATER
Well, There’s This New Yellow Female Racer Named Cruz Ramirez. She’s One Of McQueen’s Friends. She’s My Family In Law. She’s Part Of The Next Gen Racers. Y’Know, She Used To Be A Trainer, But She’s Now A Racer.
Holley looks at her driving across and makes a smile.
HOLLEY
Oh, Hey, I’ve Seen Her Before!
MATER
Really? How?
HOLLEY
I Watched One Of McQueen’s Races, Where He Was Trying To Beat A Fast Crook Named Jackson Storm.
MATER
W’Of Course He Is Fast. He’s Part Of The Next Gen Racers. McQueen Had To Go To The Rust-Eze Racin’ Center To Get Faster. He Wanted To Beat Storm. The Only Reason Cruz Was There, Is ‘Cus Cruz Wanted To Be A Racer!
HOLLEY
Oh, I See. What Else Was New While I Was Gone?
MATER
Well, I Went On A Road Trip With Lightnin’ McQueen Back East To My Sister’s Wedding.
HOLLEY
Well Congratulations! Your Sister Is Aging Fast!
MATER
Ah, Well, I Don’t Usually Get Along With Her… But This Is Where Cruz And I Become In Laws. Cruz Said Her Cousin, Mateo, Was Gettin’ Hitched To Some Eccentric Satellite. Which Is My Sister, Mato.
HOLLEY
That Sounds Great!
MATER
Yeah, Well… I Don’t Know Holley, Cruz And McQueen Aren’t Really Proud Of Me That Much… I Supported Chick Hicks. He Had A Sad Childhood. He Had A Mean Family.
HOLLEY
Oh, Poor Chick, I Don’t Know Why McQueen And Cruz Would Be Mean To You For That. Anyway, What Would You Like To Do?
Mater thinks. Then Something Comes Up.
MATER
Well… you sure you can handle it?
HOLLEY
Come on, you know who you’re talking to, this is Holley Shiftwell! I can handle anything!
CUT TO:
EXT. TRACTOR FIELD – NIGHT.
HOLLEY
Mater, I Can’t Do This!
MATER
Oh Don’t Be Shy, Holley, Tractor Tippin’ Never Gets Old For Me! It’s Gonna Be Fu-un!
HOLLEY
Oh, You’ve Got To Be Joking!
MATER
Ok, Here’s How It Works, First you sneak up in front of ‘em, then honk your horn! But don’t let Frank Catch us.
HOLLEY
Who’s Frank?
MATER
Who’s Frank? Shoot! Frank is A Monster Who Chases Us When We’re Caught. Be Careful To Not Let Him Catch Us, Alright? Lemme’ Show Ya How It Works.
Mater sneaks up in front of a tractor, and honks his horn, making the tractor startle, and tip over while mooing. It farts once it’s tipped. Mater Laughs.
MATER
This’ll Show What You Know, Tractors Are Just So Dumb! That’s Funny Right There!
HOLLEY
I Can’t Believe You Actually Do That!
She sighs
Mater then Creeps Up in front of another tractor and honks his horn, making the tractor wake up and moo while tipping, and then farts once it’s tipped over, making Mater Laugh.
MATER
I Swear That’s Just Too Darn Funny Right There! Got it Now? Wanna Try?
Holley stares at him. Then smirks.
HOLLEY
Please Mater, I’m a professional trained field agent who always saves the days whether it’s in London or Not. I Think I can handle a sleeping tractor. I’m A Little Scared to do this… But Ok! I’ll Do It! I don’t have a horn though, so I’ll just tap their bumpers with my wheels.
Mater’s eyes shine.
MATER
That’s my girl. I don’t care if you got a horn or nothin’. You can do it.
Holley takes a deep breath
HOLLEY
Ok, Here I Go.
She creeps up in front of a tractor. She stands there, unsure she should do this, as if she’s going to get hurt, but she raises a wheel — and gently taps the tractor’s bumper.
The tractor startles making all the other tractors wake up startling and they all tip over, moos then starts snoring loudly while farting.
They Both Look At Each Other, And Start Laughing.
Suddenly—
(Frank comes out and roars making Holley scream and mater laugh as they both speed away and we later fade to where mater and Holley were driving on the road and then arguing a little bit)
Mater: boy! That was some fun! Eh?
Holley: mater, why on earth would you pull a stunt like that?!
Mater: well, I—
Holley: we almost got hurt!
mater: yeah, but… I was trying to have you some fun!
Holley: but this tractor tipping thing was scary!
Mater: i thought you had fun!
Holley: (panicked, overwhelmed) I never had fun, Mater! This… this isn’t fun to me!
Mater: Never?!
Holley: Oops! I.. I mean…
Mater: (tears up) What In The Haystack’s Gotten Into Everybody?! (drives off)
Holley: No… Wait… (sighs)
(we fade to mater going to sleep in his home)
Mater: well this is one of the worst night I’ve ever experienced! She ain’t nothing like my best friend lightning McQueen!
(Mater Then Prays Indistinctly In Whisper Which Then Jump Fades To Mater Then Shutting his eyes and going to sleep)
(Dream Scene) - (No Music just wind gusts) Mater is visiting both Lizzie’s, Tex Dinoco’s, and Doc Hudson’s Graveyard where we see doc’s stone saying “IN MEMORY OF DOC HUDSON 1951 - 2009 HE HAD A LOT OF STUFF” while Lizzie’s Next To Doc’s says “IN MEMORY OF LIZZIE 1923 - 2025 TALKING TO YOURSELF NEVER ACTUALLY MAKES YOU CRAZY” next to Lizzie’s we see Tex’s stone that says “IN MEMORY OF TEX DINOCO 1953 - 2027 MAKE EVERYONE PROUD” then mater sits there silently and makes a soft sigh and a slight smile
Mater: (Sadly) Hey Doc, Hi Lizzie, Hello Tex. I Can’t Believe You Three Died. (Pause as Mater Starts Feeling Guilty And Sad) I Know… That I Haven’t Thought About You Much. I’m Sorry. I Was Just Too Busy Thinking About Rod Torque Redline. I Heard He Died From Allinol. I Was Also Way Too Busy Thinking About Finn, And Of Course… My Long Lost Imaginary Girlfriend - Holley Shiftwell. She Ain’t Imaginary Though. She Is Real. McQueen Just Said That When I Made Him Lose The Race In Tokyo That Day. I Understand Why You Guys Are Doin’ This To Me Now. To Teach Me A Lesson For Not Thinkin’ About You Much. I’m Sorry For Standin’ Up For Chick. I Just Couldn’t Leave Him Behind… He Had A Sad Childhood. I Can Tell How Much You’re More Proud Of McQueen More Than Me. I Feel Neglected. But It’s Alright. You Can Be More Proud Of McQueen All You Want. You’re Welcome To Be Mad At Me All You Want. But I Want You To Know… That I Still Care About You Three To This Day. I Pray Every Night To Give Blessin’s To You. Well, Gotta Go. I Have To Make Confessions.
(Mater then drives off and we fade to mater driving by red watering his plants)
Mater: Hi Red.
(But Red Ignores Him And Mater sighs then drives straight to the road only to start floating and to his surprise as he’s floating Holley appears on the left while McQueen is on the right holding mater’s front wheel then Finn appears next to Holley and Cruz appears next to McQueen then chick hicks comes next to Finn and Sally is next to Cruz whilst guido is next to chick hicks and Luigi is next to Sally and they hold their front wheels together as they’re floating with a musically epic version of the Tetris Music In D# Major and they all smile at each other and closes their eyes in satisfaction and they make a 2 side triangular shape from mater going as the pointy form and they all fly above Chicago then they fly above New York both at day then across the Atlantic Ocean and beyond Europe at night specifically through Lisbon Portugal then Barcelona Spain and then London and they fly over Big Ben with everyone cheering but Finn screams and then they fly across Paris underneath the Eiffel Tower and then they fly through Berlin Germany and above the Alps in Switzerland then through Vienna Austria and then they fly Through Rome Italy specifically Around The Colosseum and in Tirana Albania they fly in a loop de loop then they fly to Skopje North Macedonia and they fly around Alexander the Great statue in Cars Style then they fly to Athens Greece where they go through that tower then they fly through Istanbul Türkiye and then they start flying around Dubai UAE with the moon set and the music is in F Major and then they fly around the Taj Mahal in Agra India with the sun rising then Above The Path Of The Great Wall Of China then they fly through Seoul South Korea then through Tokyo Japan and they fly above Sydney Australia under the blue sky and shining sun and the music is shifted to G Major and they fly above the Christ of redeem Statue in the shape of Doc Hudson in Rio De Janerio at night and then they fly above the Giza pyramids in Egypt where the sun sets then the camera goes close to maters face while his eyes are still closed then the camera pulls back to show mater dangling in a trapeze up high in the sky above the clouds and then he opens his eyes and starts panicking)
Mater: How Do I Get Down From Here?! (The Trapeze Starts To Break) Uh Oh! That Ain’t Good! (The trapeze breaks and mater falls down screaming)
We Cut To: Mater with bandages in Radiator Springs Next To Holley having a bandage on her cheek And Holley Drives Further away from mater as he speaks while she’s sad like she’s about to cry
Mater: But… I’m sorry I screwed things up. I know I made a huge mistake!
(Holley then looks sad and then makes a dirty look)
Holley: Not good enough, baby! (Speeds off, leaving Mater devastated)
Professor Zundapp (appearing and laughing): This is what you get for supporting McQueen and Chick Hicks! Stay single. Stay sad. It’s good for you!
Mater: Stop it, Professor Z!
Zundapp (suddenly in McQueen’s voice): Hey Mater, wake up.
Mater: Huh? Why’d you sound like McQueen?
Zundapp / McQueen voice: Hey Mater—WAKE UP!
(Cut to real world. McQueen shaking Mater awake.)
McQueen: Mater! Come on, wake up!
Mater (startled): Wheeewie! I had a nightmare where You, Me, Cruz, Holley, Finn, Chick, Luigi, Guido, And Miss Sally Were All Flyin’ Together Around The World! Then I Ended Up Hanging On A Trapeze Up In The Sky, Fell Down, And Holley dumped me, and Zundapp was laughin’ at me like a raccoon in a trash can!
McQueen Starts To Drive Off
Mater: It Started With Me Visiting Them Graves!
Then Mater sees McQueen Drive off and then Mater sighs and drives down the main road slowly. The town feels different — quieter, colder, like the warmth’s gone. You can tell he’s been thinking too much.
SOUND: Soft wind. A lonely tumbleweed rolls by.
CUT TO:
Small flashes of memory as Mater drives (With Intense A Minor Music) —
McQueen, Cruz, and others turning away from him.
Holley shouting “I NEVER had fun!” from earlier.
Chick Hicks looking embarrassed as Mater defends him.
The Radiator Springs gang murmuring, “Mater’s always screwin’ things up.”
Then we fade right to where Mater is then visiting both Lizzie’s, Tex Dinoco’s, and Doc Hudson’s Graveyard (In the Real World Not A Dream) where we see doc’s stone saying “IN MEMORY OF DOC HUDSON 1951 - 2009 HE HAD A LOT OF STUFF” while Lizzie’s Next To Doc’s says “IN MEMORY OF LIZZIE 1923 - 2025 TALKING TO YOURSELF NEVER ACTUALLY MAKES YOU CRAZY” next to Lizzie’s we see Tex’s stone that says “IN MEMORY OF TEX DINOCO 1953 - 2027 MAKE EVERYONE PROUD” then mater sits there silently and makes a soft sigh and a slight smile
Mater: (Sadly) Hey Doc, Hi Lizzie, Hello Tex. I Can’t Believe You Three Died. (Pause as Mater Starts Feeling Guilty And Sad) I Know… That I Haven’t Thought About You Much. I’m Sorry. I Was Just Too Busy Thinking About Rod Torque Redline. I Heard He Died From Allinol. I Was Also Way Too Busy Thinking About Finn, And Of Course… My Long Lost Imaginary Girlfriend - Holley Shiftwell. She Ain’t Imaginary Though. She Is Real. McQueen Just Said That When I Made Him Lose The Race In Tokyo That Day. I Understand Why You Guys Are Doin’ This To Me Now. To Teach Me A Lesson For Not Thinkin’ About You Much. I’m Sorry For Standin’ Up For Chick. I Just Couldn’t Leave Him Behind… He Had A Sad Childhood. I Can Tell How Much You’re More Proud Of McQueen More Than Me. I Feel Neglected. But It’s Alright. You Can Be More Proud Of McQueen All You Want. You’re Welcome To Be Mad At Me All You Want. But I Want You To Know… That I Still Care About You Three To This Day. I Pray Every Night To Give Blessin’s To You. Well, Gotta Go. Imma Go To The Canyon.
EXT. CANYON OVERLOOK – SUNSET
Mater parks at the edge of the canyon. The wind blows gently.
He looks down — but not because he wants to fall.
He’s staring at his own reflection in a small strip of water far below. Then backs up to stay safe.
Quiet. Still. Alone.
MATER (sadly)
“…Maybe the world’d be better without a tow truck who always screws things up.”
Mater then lowers his hook and lifts a small broken bumper off the cliff edge — like rescuing someone else.
MATER
“Anyone can fall… but I enjoy helpin’ out others.”
He sets the bumper safely on solid ground.
[EXT. Canyon Edge – Continuous]
Mater sits there, silent. The sunset deepens into red.
He looks out at the fading light, sighs, and mutters—
MATER:
“Guess it’s time I hit the road again. Maybe somewhere out there’s got a place that don’t mind a tow truck with too big a heart and screws up stuff…”
As he was looking at the view, McQueen Comes in, because he notices mater is sad.
McQueen: (Quietly) Hey Mater… Whatcha Doing There?
Mater: (Sadly) Just Lookin’ At That View Right There. Sorry For Supportin’ Chick… I Just Can’t Help It.
McQueen: Ok, I Get It, But Why Did You Support Him Though? And Why Do You Miss Your Girlfriend, And Your Spy Friends That Much? No Offense.
Mater: (Sigh) Because My Life Just Used To Be Perfect.
A Long flashback of Mater from 2007 comes in while a Choir like song from Randy Newman In A Major Plays where we see McQueen (in his Radiator Springs Paint Job) And Mater laughing together and they race around Willy’s butte together and then the memory moves to where McQueen And Mater are sitting on a Big Tire Swing holding their front wheels together with Doc Hudson and Sally Winding it to make it spin while McQueen and Mater are still holding on to their Front wheels together and then it moves to them having lots of fun together with more and more activities then the jump goes to 2010 where McQueen and Mater Visits Doc Hudson’s Grave and McQueen is in his Radiator Springs Paint Job style and they both tear up and the jump Goes To 2013 where we see Holley and Mater do a lot of fun stuff together concluding to the moment where they’re seen on the same big tire swing from earlier (With The Song Now Shifted In B Major) in that flashback where Mater and Holley sit on it holding their front wheels together smiling while McQueen (In His Cars 2 Spoiler and Livery) and Finn are winding up the Swing for it to spin like a roundabout then the jump goes to 2016 where Finn and Holley say their farewells to Mater before leaving and as mater watches them leave he starts tearing up and Sally tells him it’s ok (inaudible) and then the jump goes to 2017 at where Mater overhears Sally supporting McQueen for his recovery after the crash (4 Months Ago in that Flashback) and then it wraps up with The Jump to 2019 where Mater tries to call Finn and Holley but is sad then starts to Feel Lonely then the Jump goes to 2022 where Mater And McQueen (In His Cars On The Road Style) visits so many different fun locations concluding to them visiting Rod Torque Redline’s Grave then the flashback ends and the song ends too
Mater: (Sadly) Ya Never Forget Good Friends, Like Finn, Holley, Or Even Rod, (Tears Up) But They Can Forget You. (Tears Up Again) I Even Had a Dream Last Night Where I Visited Them Graves, And… I Was Floatin’… You, Me, McQueen, Holley, Finn, Chick, Sally, Luigi, And Guido Joined In Too. We All Flew Around The World Together… But Then i Ended Up On A Trapeze, Fallin’ 100 Feet From The Air… I Crashed… Hurt Holley, She Broke Up With Me… And Professor Z Made Fun Of Me… And Spoke In McQueen’s Voice… Only To Find Out That… McQueen Was Tryin’ To Wake Me Up. Then He Drove Off Once I Woke Up Just Now.
McQueen: (Living To His Regrets and Talking Calmly) Mater I’m Sorry, I—I Didn’t Know… I Was Just Worried That Chick Would Reject Your Support… But I Didn’t Know… That You Had Such A Big Heart. I Didn’t Even Think You Have One. I Just Thought You Were Obsessed With Screwing Things Up. I Am Also So Sorry For Ignoring Those Spy Moments We Had In London Together, And The Fact That You Really Miss Holley, And Finn, And The Spy Friends. I Had To Do It, Because… I Just Miss Doc… I Know You Do Too. Doc Taught Me So Many Things. I Was Also Too Busy Focusing On Getting Faster Than Storm, That I Didn’t Even Think To Check On You. I’m Really Sorry For Accusing You Of Forgetting About Doc Completely. I Should’ve Never Done That. But From Now On, I’ll Be More Nicer. I’ll Never Hurt Your Feelings Again. And Remember: Don’t Think About The Stuff That Hurts You. Think About All The Stuff That Makes You Happy.
Mater: Thanks, Buddy. i Appreciate That So Much. And Remember, I Do Pray Every Night To Give Blessin’s To Ol’ Doc, Lizzie, And Tex Dinoco, And I Still Will To This Day.
McQueen: Attaboy, Mater. You’re Welcome. I’m Gonna Go Now. Sally’s Waiting For Me. I’ll Let You Be. But Don’t Be Out Here Too Long.
They Smile At Each Other and McQueen Drives Off. Then Mater Drives Off Too.
(Next Scene)
The camera pans across piles of old car parts glinting in the last rays of sun. The air is still. Mater sits alone, staring at a small sculpture he made.
Mater: ‘Least Someone Done Just Supported Me.
He sighs, leans back, and looks toward the glowing sky. The sadness from earlier still lingers, but it’s quieter now — like he’s tired of feeling hurt. But from what McQueen Said earlier he doesn’t let that get to him and looks at the sculpture with a smile and sings to it anyway to get his mind off of the sadness in his head.
Mater (singing):
“First you find a can, From a rusty van! Bump, Bump! Quicker than a dart, Make it into cart! Bump, Bump! That’s the way it’s done, It’s A Lot Of Fun! Bump, Bump! Lifting my funk, making sculptures out of junk.”
Then—
His phone buzzes softly. The name “Holley ❤️” appears.
Mater’s eyes widen.
He worries for a second and he’s not sure if he should answer.
Then, he takes a deep breath, and answers!
MATER:
“Hello?”
HOLLEY (soft, gentle tone):
“Hey, Mater. It’s me…”
Her voice echoes faintly — calm, careful. The camera cuts between her location (maybe in London, with soft city lights in the background, the background music of God Save The Queen in B Major instrumental) and Mater’s face illuminated by the orange glow of sunset.
HOLLEY (continuing):
“I’ve been thinking about last night. I was… awful to you. I’m sorry.”
MATER:
“Well, I guess I was awful too. Ain’t no excuse, though. I just… didn’t think I’d mess things up so bad. I was just havin’ a rough time lately, everyone’s just being mad at me, because I’ve been supportive to mean cars who’ve been hurt.”
HOLLEY:
“You didn’t screw anything up. You were trying to help someone who’s been hurt before. That’s what makes you special. I should’ve seen that.”
Mater looks down, emotional but trying to stay composed. The junk sculpture catches the light, shining faintly.
MATER:
“You mean… you ain’t mad no more?”
HOLLEY (smiling and softly speaking):
“I was never really mad at you, Mater. I was scared. Scared of losing someone who actually cares.”
The music swells softly — gentle strings and piano. The sky’s orange turns to pink and violet as the sun dips lower.
HOLLEY (continuing):
“You’ve got the biggest heart I’ve ever known. I’m also sorry about what you’ve gone through. Don’t let anyone make you feel like that’s a bad thing. Earlier I couldn’t answer, because I was too busy chasing some crooks, who also thought I dumped you. Oh—and I still have your valuable dent on me (shows the dent) see? (Back to face) Your an adventurous, adorable little thing I ever met! I enjoyed your adventures, it reminds me of when you spend time with McQueen, and your adventures are such a source of joy to take me some time off of my agent work. (The Background Music of O Canada in C# Major plays) If i haven’t met you, i would’ve still been such an arrogant agent—like how McQueen was before when he was obsessed with winning! Speaking of McQueen, another reason why I love you, is that you were the first in radiator springs to ever support McQueen before the races, fame, all of it! Also, zundapp was trying to kill McQueen, because he saw so much videos of cars threatening other cars with guns! That proves he’s born bad! But some of the lemons we judged before? They’re now well behaved because, They were going through something hurtful, and they’re now well behaved thanks to your heart! That’s what makes you special!”
MATER (sniffling but smiling):
“Well shoot, Holley… that means a lot comin’ from you.”
HOLLEY (light laugh):
“It should. Oh — and by the way, your sculptures are adorable. I saw one in the background on your video call.”
MATER:
“You like ‘em? I call this one ‘Rusty Racer.’ Made it from soda cans and spare bolts.”
HOLLEY:
“See? You turn junk into art, and sadness into hope. That’s why I… I love you, Mater.”
Mater blushes, his headlights flickering in surprise.
MATER:
“Well… dad gum. I love ya too, Holley.
HOLLEY
“Remember, The world still needs your kind of heart.”
MATER
“Thanks. And are we still gonna go on a date soon?”
Holley:
“Umm… What’s A Date?”
Mater:
“Huh?”
Holley:
“Just Kidding, Of Course We Will, How About Next week?”
Mater:
“Okie dokie! Tell Finn I said hi!”
Holley:
“Will do!”
They both laugh. The background music of O Canada still in C# Major, continues as it reaches its end.
Camera pulls back as Mater sets the phone down, smiling at the horizon. The stars begin to appear.
We fade to McQueen and Sally sleeping together in radiator springs at the cozy cone motel at 3am with the text saying “2 Weeks Later” and McQueen is seen snoring loudly and Sally tells him to stop and McQueen does so only to snore loudly 2 seconds later and again Sally tells him to stop and McQueen does so only to snore loudly 2 seconds later again and Sally pours a small amount of water to McQueen making him think it’s mater and snores loudly again and then Sally pours more water on McQueen and he gets upset after realizing it was Sally and Sally says “Stop Snoring So Loudly, Stickers! I’m Trying To Sleep!” And McQueen mumbles to sleep saying he’ll stop and snores loudly again so Sally rolls her eyes and goes to sleep alone at Cone #1
Next morning McQueen Luigi and guido are at Flo’s V8 Cafe preparing for the final race and Finn and Holley comes and asks what McQueen is doing and McQueen explains that he’s preparing for his final race and finn thought McQueen retired but McQueen said that he’s gonna keep racing and is already preparing to try beating Jackson storm and decided that today was the day he gets back to racing after taking a long retired-like break and Holley asks where mater is and McQueen says he’s probably still sleeping and Holley starts laughing with mater and Holley explains that over the weekend mater poured water on her while she was sleeping one night only for mater to explain that he was doing this for fun and McQueen laughs and explains that mater kept doing the same to him and suddenly they hear mater pouring water on Sally and she gets upset and mater turns around as he was about to explain that it was for fun and when he noticed Holley he speeds up to her and Holley and mater hugs each other because they miss each other and McQueen tells mater that he is his best friend and then Holley notices Cruz still sleeping and she indistinctly whispers to mater’s ear to pour water on her and guido follows them and mater pours water on her and Cruz wakes up lazy and upset
In the next scene everyone is gathered at Flo’s V8 Café and then Holley decides to show everyone her backwards driving tricks she learns from mater and Cruz and McQueen starts to panic and then Holley explains she used rearview mirrors and Finn tries it too but keeps failing and Holley explains that Finn’s still trying to do it then when Holley notices Sally calling McQueen “Stickers” she asks why she calls him that but Finn cuts it out and says that it’s just a stylistic choice then Holley and Finn argue like siblings (even though they aren’t) then Sally explains that McQueen’s headlights are made out of stickers
In the next scene before the final race Holley and finn gives them the ability to go faster than storm and Holley and Finn tells mater not to tell McQueen about this because it’s a surprise to trick McQueen into beating Jackson storm once and for all and mater wonders how and Holley explains that using his tow hook will work and is sure to do so and Holley adds a heart sticker to mater and Finn gives him an agent badge and Ramone decorates him while Luigi pumps air into the new tires and guido changes them and then mater Luigi guido Ramone Sally Mack Cruz filmore sarge and sheriff goes to the race while Holley and Finn stays in radiator springs to watch the race from the tv there with red
I have an idea for an ending which features lightning McQueen returning to race with Cruz Ramirez as the crew chief where McQueen wins and finally beats Jackson storm thanks to mater with his engines going faster keeping his towhook to hook on to McQueen and help them win and beat storm
Mater: I gotcha lightnin’ (hooks McQueen up)
McQueen: Mater! What’s Going On?!
Mater: I am gonna help you beat this mister Jackson storm!
McQueen: How?!
Mater: I just upgraded my engines, they’ll go faster! You’ll see! I’mma Help You Dodge This Storm Feller By Doing What Doc Don Taught Ya (When he passes by storm) hey mister storm Jackson!
Jackson storm: It’s Jackson Storm you Nitwit!
McQueen: Don’t call him a nitwit!
Darrel Cartrip: only 1 lap to go, and mater is about to do something! (mater dodges storm by turning right to go left and while holding on to McQueen and both McQueen and Mater crosses the finish line) Whoa! (The crowd explodes with cheering) Did you see what I saw Bob?!
Bob cutlas: I know! Mater Has Just Got To Be The Second Car I’ve Ever Seen To Have Beaten Storm, while holding on to McQueen! What a B-I-G Help! Actually Together, They have beaten storm, and oh I am so proud to say without a lie, that they officially got into a 2 way tie!
(Mater cheers)
McQueen: Yeah! Kachow! Thanks Mater!
Mater: You’re welcome buddy!
(Cut to red the fire truck, Holley shiftwell, and Finn mcmissle in radiator springs watching them on tv as red starts crying)
Finn: That was Marvelous!
Holley: (Laughing) That’s My Boyfriend!
(We cut back to McQueen and mater with their piston cup where everyone cheers for McQueen and mater)
McQueen: thank you so much pal!
Mater: no problem lightnin’!
Cruz: great job Mr McQueen! You too mater! That was a MASSIVE stunt you pulled! Well, i have to get going, I’m going on a vacation to Hawaii! (Drives off)
McQueen: Have Fun! (To mater) You know, racing with my best friend, is better than racing alone, because he or she can help you win, you never know, when you need a tow! Kachow!
(Cheer)
Mater: Imma Keep Doin’ what I usually do. But before that, there’s something else I wanna do.
(Cut to the Epilogue scene of mater chick hicks Danny Francesco Bernoulli and Jeff gorvette as racers and McQueen as the crew chief with Holley Finn Mack Luigi and guido as mater’s pit crew member)
Mater: (as he is racing) wheheeeeewwwiee!
Danny: chick, this is to make you even more hurt!
Chick hicks: (as he gets pushed off by Danny) Hey! (As he flies off) Noooo! (Crashes and the crowd gasps and when mater sees what’s going on he stops at the moment he’s about to win the last lap)
McQueen: mater, what are you doing?
Holley: aren’t you going to win?
Finn: cross the finish line!
Luigi: this is your chance!
Mater: well no thank you! (His pit crew member is confused) I ain’t gonna cross the finish line! (As he drives to push chick hicks on the last lap) Imma give up the piston cup, because I don’t wanna see chick crashed! I wanna help him win! I ain’t gonna tow him, since It’ll Count As Me Cheatin’, imma give the piston cup to chick hicks!
Chick hicks: (as he’s being pushed by mater) thanks mater! I appreciate it man!
Mater: you’re welcome chick! Piston cups are empty cups anyway!
Darrel cartrip: wow, what a move by mater!
Bob cutlas: I can’t even look at this happiness, making me want to tear up!
(The crowd cheers as chick hicks crosses the finish line then we cut to mater going to his pit crew members cheering as he approaches to them)
McQueen: Great job, mater! Attaboy!
Mack: congrats on the loss, mi bucko!
Finn: you may not be an intelligent agent, but you are incredible!
Holley: I’m so proud of you mater! This is what I call a big heart! (Kisses him on the cheek)
Mater: (blushed) well thank you!
McQueen: the way you turned right to go left was unexpected! Doc would’ve been so proud of you, and so would Tex!
Luigi (tearing up): don’t talk about Doc Hudson, because I will start to cry thinking about him!
(All laughs as Francesco Bernoulli approaches)
Francesco Bernoulli: wow tow truck, you’re a brilliant! I’m sad I didn’t a win, but grateful that I’m in 2nd place, which isn’t to impossible!
Mater: well that’s okay Mr San Francisco, maybe one day somebody’ll crash ya, so’s I can see it, and stop right at where’s I was about to cross the finish line and give up the piston cup for you! (To Holley) Y’Know Holley, You May Not Be An Actual Ice Cream Truck, But You Are My Ice Cream Truck, And You’ll always Be My ice cream Truck!
Holley: you’re such a sweetheart! Bring it in! (Hugs mater) I love you so much mater!
Mater: you too!
