Bob Cutlass: Three cars are tied for the season points lead, heading into the final race of the season. And the winner of this race, Darrell, will win the season title and the Piston Cup.

Bob Cutlass: And, as always, in the second-place spot, we find Chick Hicks. He's been chasing that tailfin his entire career. Darrell Cartrip: Chick thought this was his year, Bob, his chance to finally emerge from The King's shadow. But the last thing he expected was - Lightning McQueen!

Sally: Who do you think you are? Lightning McQueen: [defiantly] Look, Doc said when I finish, I could go. That was the deal. Doc Hudson: [strictly; enters] The deal was you <u>fix</u> the road.

What do you want? You here to gloat? Doc Hudson: You don't have three-wheel brakes, so you got to pitch it hard, break it loose, and then just drive it with the throttle. Give it too much, you'll be outta the dirt and into the tulips. Lightning McQueen: So you're a judge, a doctor, and a racing expert. Doc Hudson: I'll put it simpl

Lightning McQueen: No, Mater, I gotta finish this road, and I have to get out of here. Mater: Well, that's all right, Mr. I Can't Turn On Dirt. You probably couldn't handle it anyway.

When I finally got put together, I went back expecting a big welcome. You know what they said? "You're history." Moved right on to the next rookie standing in line.

I don't have to watch him every second of the day anymore! I'm glad he's gone! [Red speeds away sobbing, upset at the Sheriff's remarks and knocks down a stack of tires like last time.] Lightning McQueen: [appearing out of nowhere] What's wrong with Red?
