1 (SIGHS) OK, here we go. Focus. Speed, I am speed. One winner, 42 losers. I eat losers for breakfast. Breakfast, maybe I should have had breakfast. Brekkie could be good. No, no, no. Stay focused. Speed. I'm faster than fast, quicker than quick. I am Lightning. (BANGS) Hey, Lightning! You ready? Oh, yeah. Lightning's ready. Oh, yeah. Lightning's ready. REVS # I'm American-made but I like Chevrolet # My momma taught me wrong from right # I was born in the south Sometimes, I have a big mouth # When I see something that I don't like # I gotta say it CROWD ROARS # Well, we've been driving this road for a mighty long time # Paying no mind to the signs # This neighbourhood's changed, it's all be re-arranged # We left that team somewhere behind # Slow down, you're gonna crash # Baby, you're a-screaming It's a blast, blast, blast # Look out, babe, you've got your blinders on # Everybody's lookin' for a way to get real gone # Real gone # There's a new cat in town, he's got high-paid friends # Thinks he's gonna change history # You think you know him so well Yeah, you think he's so swell # But he's driving to a new prophecy # Slow down, you're gonna crash # Baby, you're a-screaming It's a blast, blast, blast # Look out, you've got your blinders on # Everybody's lookin' for a way to get real gone... # Woo! You got that right! (WHISTLES) # Real gone # Real gone # Ugh! Welcome back to the Dinoco 400. I'm Bob Cutlass here with my friend, Darrell Cartrip. We're midway through what may turn out to be an historic day. My pressure's through the roof. If this gets more exciting, they're gonna have to tow me out! Right you are, Darrell! Three cars are tied for the season lead heading into the final race, and the winner of this race will win the season title and the Piston Cup. Does The King, Strip Weathers, have one more victory before retirement? He's been Dinoco's golden boy for years. Can he win them one last Piston Cup? And, as always, in second we find Chick Hicks. He's been chasing that tailfin his entire career. Chick thought this was his year, his chance to emerge from The King's shadow, but the last thing he expected was... Lightning McQueen! I don't think anybody expected this. The rookie came into the season unknown, but everyone knows him now. Will he be the first rookie to win a Piston Cup and land Dinoco? The legend, the runner-up and the rookie. Three cars, one champion. # Here I come and I'm so not scared # Got my pedal to the metal Got my hands in the air # Look out, you take your blinders off # Everybody's lookin' for a way to get real gone # Real gone # Real gone # CROWD GASPS / SCREECHES What a ride! (LAUGHS) Go get him, McQueen! Go get him! < We love you, Lightning! Dinoco is all mine! (SCREAMS) "Trouble at turn three!" Get through that, McQueen! "Huge crash behind the leader!" (GASPS) (LAUGHS NERVOUSLY) CRASH / BOTH SCREAM "Wait a second, McQueen is in the wreckage!" "There's no way the rookie can make it through, not in one piece!" Lightning! "Look, McQueen made it through!" "Spectacular move by Lightning McQueen!" Yeah! Ka-chow! McQueen! McQueen! McQueen! McQueen! Yeah, McQueen! Ka-chow! "While everyone heads into the pits, McQueen stays out to take the lead!" Don't take me out, I can still race! (LAUGHS) What do you think? Beauty! McQueen made it through! What?! He's not pitting! Come on, get me back out there! Come on! McQueen's not going into the pits! "Just fired his team, that's the third one this season!" "He says he likes working alone." "Looks like Chick got caught up in the pits." After a stop like that, he's got a lot to make up. "Get ready, boys! We're coming to the restart!" Come on, come on, come on! We need tyres now! Come on! No! No tyres, just gas! What?! You need tyres, you idiot! "Looks like it's gas-and-go today!" "That's right, no tyres again!" "I'd say that's a short-term gain, long-term loss, but it's working." "He obviously knows something we don't know." "This is it, one lap to go and Lightning McQueen has a huge lead!" "Got it in the bag." Call in the dogs and put out the fire, we're gonna crown us a new champion!" CROWD ROARS Chequered flag, here I come! "Oh, no! McQueen has blown a tyre!" "With one turn to go, can he make it?!" You fool! Ugh! "McQueen's blown a tyre! McQueen's blown a tyre! Go, go, go, go, go!" "He's lost another tyre! The King and Chick are coming fast!" "They're entering turn three!" Come on! (GROANS) I don't believe what I'm watching! "Lightning McQueen is 100 feet from his Piston Cup!" "The King and Chick rounding turn four!" "The Piston Cup and it's, and it's..." It's too close to call, too close to call! The most spectacular, amazing, unequivocally unbelievable ending in the history of the world!" And we don't even know who won! Hey, no cameras! We're here awaiting the results. McQueen, that was quite risky. Tell me about it. Are you sorry you didn't have a crew chief? (CHUCKLES) Kori. There's more to racing than just winning. Taking the race by a lap? Where's the entertainment in that? I wanted to give the folks a sizzle. Am I sorry I didn't have a crew chief? No, cos I'm a one-man show. What? That was a very confident Lightning McQueen. Live from Victory Lane, I'm... Get outta the shot! Chuck, what are you doing? You're blocking the camera! Everyone wants to see. Back away. That's it! Come on, guys. Ow! Whoa, team! Where are you going? We quit, Mr One-Man Show! Oh, OK, leave. Fine. How will I ever find anyone else who knows how to fill me up with gas? Adios, Chuck. My name is not Chuck! Oh, whatever. ALL LAUGH Hey, Lightning! Yo, McQueen! Seriously, that was some pretty darn nice racing out there... ..by me! (LAUGHS) Zinger! Welcome to the Chick era, baby. The Piston Cup, it's mine, dude. Hey, fellas. How you think I'd look in Dinoco blue? Dinoco blue! (LAUGHS) In your dreams, Thunder. Yeah. Thunder? What's he talking about? You know, cos thunder always comes after lightning. Ka-pow! Who here knew about the thunder thing? I didn't. Right into the lens! Show us a pose! Ka-ching! Ooh-wee, that was one close finish. You sure made Dinoco proud, thank you. Now, Tex, you've been good to me all these years. Least I could do. Whatever happens, you're a winner to me. Thanks, dear. Wouldn't be nothing without you. McQueen! McQueen! McQueen! Ka-ching! I'm Mia! I'm Tia! (BOTH) We're, like, you're biggest fans! Ka-chow! Oh, I love to be me. (SQUEAL) We love you, Lightning! (CHUCKLES) Hey, buddy. You're one gutsy racer. Oh, hey, Mr The King. You got more talent in one lug nut than a lot of cars has got in their whole body. Really? Aww - But you're stupid. Excuse me? This ain't a one-man deal, kid. You need to wise up and get yourself a good crew chief and a good team. You ain't gonna win unless you got good folks behind and you let them do their job. It's like I tell the boys... Good team, yeah. DANCE MUSIC If you figure that out, you're gonna be OK. Oh. (CLEARS THROAT) Yeah, that is spectacular advice. Thank, Mr The King. Ooh! "Ladies and gentleman, for the first time in Piston Cup history..." A rookie has won the Piston Cup. Yes! "We have a three-way tie!" (LAUGHS) Hey, McQueen, that must be embarrassing. I wouldn't worry about it... because I didn't do it! (LAUGHS) "Piston Cup officials have determined that a tie-breaker race will be held in California in one week!" Thank you! Thanks all of you out there! Thank you! Hey, rook. First one to California gets Dinoco all to themselves. No, not me! You rock, and you know that! Oh, yeah! Woo! "First one to California gets Dinoco all to himself!" We'll see who gets there first, Chick. Huh? Hey, kid! Congrats on the tie! I don't wanna talk about it. Let's go, Mack. What'd you do with my trailer? I parked over your sponsor's tent. What? Gotta make your appearance. No, no! No, no, no, no! Yes, yes, yes! Lightning McQueen here, and I use Rust-eze Medicated Bumper Ointment rear-end formula. Nothing soothes a rusty bumper like Rust-eze. Wow, look at that shine! Use Rust-eze and you too can look like me! Ka-chow! CHEERS (LAUGHS) I remember this guy from the slums. He was so rusty, he didn't even cast a shadow! (LAUGHS) You could see his dirty undercarriage! Ugh! I hate rusty cars! This is not good for my image. They did give you your big break. It's in your contract. Will you stop, please? Just go get hooked up. Winter is a grand old time. Of this there are no ifs or buts. Remember, all that salt and grime. Can rust your bolts and freeze your... Hey, look! There he is! Our almost champ! Get your rear end in here, kid! Lightning McQueen, you are wicked! You were cookin', McQueen! Gimme a little room, guys. You're my hero, Mr McQueen! Yes, I know... ..Fred. Fred, thank you. He knows my name! He knows my name! Lookin' good, buddy! Thanks to you, we had a better year! We might even clear enough to buy you headlights! Are you saying he doesn't have headlights? They're just stickers! Well, you know, race cars don't need headlights because the track is lit. Yeah, well so is my brother, but he still needs headlights! ALL LAUGH Hah-hah-hah... hah. Ladies and gentlemen... (BOTH) Lightning McQueen! CRICKETS CHIRP Free Bird! You know, the Rust-eze Medicated Bumper Ointment team ran a great race today. Remember, with a little Rust-eze, and an insane amount of luck, you too can look like me. Ka-chow. ALL CHEER Hey, kid! We love you, we're looking forward to another great year, just like this year! (LAUGHS) Not on your life. Don't drive like my brother! Don't drive like my brother! California, here we come! Dinoco, here we come! # "Life Is A Highway" - Rascal Flatts # Life's like road you travel on # One day here and the next day gone # Sometimes you bend, sometimes you stand # Sometimes you turn your back to the wind # There's a world outside every darkened door # The blues won't haunt you anymore # Where the brave are free and lovers soar # Come ride with me to the distant shore # We won't hesitate # To break down the garden gate # There's not much time left today, yeah # Life is a highway # I wanna ride it all night long # If you're going my way # I wanna drive it all night long # Through all the cities and all these towns # It's in my blood and it's all around # I love you now like I loved you then # This is the road and these are the hands # From Mozambique to those Memphis nights # The Khyber Pass to Vancouver's lights # Knock me down and back up again # You're in my blood, I'm not a lonely man # There's no road I can hold # The roads are rough, this I know # I'll be there when the light comes in # Just tell 'em we're survivors # Life is a highway # I wanna ride it all night long... # PHONE RINGS Ooh, I needed this.

Uh, thanks. Listen, they're giving you 20 tickets to the tie-breaker. I'll pass them on to your friends, just shoot me the names. Let Harv rock it. Right, friends. Yes. There's, umm... OK, I get it, Mr Popular, so many friends you can't narrow it down. When you get to town, better make time for your friend, break bread with your mishpocheh. Yeah, that would be great!

Is it true he's gonna pose for Cargirl? Strategy? ALL GASP What? Did I forget to wipe my mud flaps? McQueen's driver arrived in California but McQueen was missing. ..was reported missing... ..raise an unprecedented... Sponsors stated they have no idea. SPEAKS JAPANESE I hope Lightning's OK, hate to see anything bad happen. I don't know what's harder to find, Lightning McQueen or a crew chief who'll work with him! Lightning McQueen must be found at all costs! They are all asking the same question, "Where is McQueen?" Oh, boy. Ugh. Where am I? Mornin', sleepin' beauty! (LAUGHS) I was wonderin' when you was gonna wake up! Take whatever you want, just don't hurt me! A parking boot? Why do I have a parking boot on? What's going on?! (LAUGHS) You're funny! I like you already. My name's Mater. Mater? Yeah, like tomater, but with out the tuh. What's your name? You don't know my name? Uhh... No, I know your name. Is your name Mater too? What?! Look, I need to get to California as fast as possible. Where am I? Where are you? Shoot, you're in Radiator Springs, the cutest little town in carburettor county. Oh, great. Just great. Well, if you think that's great, you should see the rest of the town. You know, I'd love to see the rest of the town! If you could just open the gate, take this boot off, you and me go cruising, check out the local scene. You know? How'd that be? Cool! Mater! What did I tell you about talking to the accused? To not to. Well quit your yappin' and tow this delinquent to traffic court. We'll talk later, Mater. (LAUGHS) Later Mater, that's funny! (YELPS) The Radiator Springs Traffic Court will come to order! You scratched my paint! I ought to take a blowtorch to you! You broke the road! Very bad car! Talk to me. How long is this gonna take? I gotta get to California. Where's your lawyer? I don't know. Tahiti, maybe. Got timeshare there. When the defendant has no lawyer, the court will assign one to him. Hey! Anyone wanna be his lawyer? Shoot, I'll do it, sheriff! All rise, the honourable Doc Hudson presiding. Show off. May Doc have mercy on your soul. CRASH / GASPS All right, I wanna know who's responsible for wrecking my town. I want his hood on a platter, put him in jail till he rots. Check that, I'm gonna put him in jail till the jail rots on him and then I'm gonna move him to a new jail and let that jail rot. I'm g... Throw him outta here, sheriff. I want him outta my court, I want him out of our town! Case dismissed. Yes! Boy, I'm pretty good at this lawyerin' stuff! Sorry I'm late! Holy Porsche! She's gotta be from my attorney's office. Hey, thanks for coming, but we're all set. He's letting me go. He's letting you go? Yeah, your job's easy today. All you have to do now is stand there and let me look at you. Listen, I'm gonna cut to the chase. Me, you, dinner. Cha-cow! Ow! Oof! Please! I know, I get that reaction a lot. I create feelings in others they don't understand. REVS REVS Oh, I'm sorry. Did I scare you? Well, a little bit, but I'll be all right. OK. I'm gonna go talk to the judge. Do what you gotta do. Be careful, folks round here are not firing on all cylinders, if you know what I mean. Ka-ching! Argh! I'll keep that in mind. Hey there, Mater. Howdy, Sally. Hi, folks! (ALL) Morning, Sally! You know her? She's the town attorney, and my fiancee. What?! (LAUGHS) Just kiddin'! She just likes me for my body. Doc, you look great this morning. Do something with your mirrors? What do you want, Sally? Make this guy fix the road. The town needs this. No. I know his type. Race car. It's the last thing this town needs. OK. I didn't wanna have to do this, Doc, but you leave me no choice. Fellow citizens, you are all aware of our town's proud history. Here she goes again. Radiator Springs, the glorious jewel strung on the necklace of Route 66, the mother road. It is our job and our pleasure to take care of travellers on that road. Travellers? What travellers?! Ignore him. But how, I ask you, are we to care for those travellers if there is no road for them to drive on? Luigi, what do you have at your store? Tyres. And if no-one can get to you? I won't sell any... tyres. I will lose everything! Flo, what do you have at your store? I have gas. Lots of gas. BOTH SNIGGER OK, boys, stay with me. And what'll happen if no-one can come to buy gas? I'll go out of business and will have to leave town. And what's gonna happen to us if Flo leaves and closes her station? No gas! What? Don't you think the car responsible should fix our road? The only guy strong enough to fix that road is Big Al. Lizzy, Big Al left 15 years ago. Then why are you bringing him up? He can do it, he's got the horsepower. What do you want him to do? (ALL) Fix the road! Because we are a town worth fixing! ALL CHEER (HONKS) Order in the court! Woooo! Seems like my mind has been changed for me. ALL CHEER No! < Nice ruling! Oh, I am so not taking you to dinner. That's OK, stickers, you can take Bessie. Oh, you get to work with Bessie! I'd give my left two lug nuts for something like that. Who's Bessie? This here is Bessie, finest road-paving machine ever built. I'm sentencing you to community service. You're gonna fix the road under my supervision. What?! This place is crazy! I know this may be a bad time right now, but you owe me $32,000 in legal fees. What? We're gonna hitch you up to Bessie and you're gonna pull her nice. You gotta be kidding me! You start there, where the road begins. You finish down there, where the road ends. Holy shoot! How long is this gonna take? Fella does it right, should take him five days. Five days?! I should be in California schmoozing Dinoco right now! If I were you, I'd quit yappin' and start workin'! Hook him up, Mater. Okey dokey. Freedom! Maybe I should have hooked him up to Bessie and then, er... then took the boot off. Woo-hoo! Goodbye, Radiator Springs, and goodbye Bessie! California, here I come! Yeah! Oh, feel that wind! Yes! ENGINE SPLUTTERS No... no, no, no. No, no, no, no, no! Outta gas?! How could I be outta gas?! (CHORTLES) Boy, we ain't as dumb as you think we are. But how did you - We siphoned your gas while you were passed out. Ka-chow. Ow, ow, ow, ow! (CHUCKLES) 1 Gentlemen. Sheriff. Hey, sheriff. Why the tyres here? Sono sempre stati qui. They were better where they were. Guido! Red, can you move over? I wanna get a look at that sexy hot-rod. You know, I used to be a pretty good whistler. I can't do it now, of course, on account of sometimes I get fluid built up and my engine blocked, but Doc says he's gonna fix it. He can fix about anything, that's why we made him the judge. Boy, you shoulda heard me on 'Giddy-up, Oom Papa Mow Mow'. I'm not one to brag, but people come purty far to see me get low on the 'Mow Mow'. SPLAT Oh, man! That's just great! What's wrong? My lucky sticker's all dirty. Ain't nothin'. I'll clean it for you. SNIFFS / SNORTS No, no, no, no, no! That won't be necessary. Hey! Hey, big fella! Yeah, you in the red! I could use a little hose down, help me wash this off. Where's he going? Oh, he's just a bit shy and he hates you for killing his flowers. I shouldn't have to put up with this! I'm an instrument of speed and aerodynamics. Hurt your what? I'm a very famous race car! You are a famous race car? A real race car? Yes. What do you think? Look at me! I have followed racing my entire life, my whole life! Then you know who I am. I'm Lightning McQueen. Lightning McQueen! Yes! I must scream it to the world, my excitement, from the top of some place very high! Do you know many Ferraris? No, they race on the European circuit. I'm in the Piston Cup. What? Luigi follow only the Ferraris. Is that what I think it is? Customers... Customers... Customers, everyone! Customers! Customers? Calm down! Been a long time, remember what we rehearsed. Make sure your 'come in' signs are out and you know what to do. All right, nobody panics! Here we go! Van, I just don't see any onramp anywhere. Mini, I know where we are. Yeah, we're in the middle of nowhere. Honey, please. Hello. Welcome to Radiator Springs, gateway to Ornament Valley, legendary for its service and hospitality. How can we help? We don't need anything, thank you. Honey, ask for directions. There's no need to ask for directions, I know where - He did the same thing on our trip to Shakopee. We were headed for the Crazy Days - OK, we're just peachy, OK? What you really need is the sweet taste of my homemade organic fuel. Doesn't agree with my tank. We're trying to find the interstate. Good to see you, soldier! Come on by Sarge's Surplus Hut for all your surplus needs. Surplus! Honey, we have too much surplus. I have a map at the motel, and, if you do stay, we offer a free Lincoln Continental breakfast. Map! I don't need a map, I have the GPS. Never need a map again, thank you. How about something to drink? Stop at Flo's V8 cafe, finest fuel on Route 66! We just topped off. If you need tyres, stop by Luigi's Casa Della Tyres, home of the Leaning Tower of Tyres. We're trying to find the interstate. But you do need a paintjob, man. Ramone will paint you. Hey, anything you want, like the flame job , maybe gold flames. You like old school pin striping? Von Dutch style, huh? Oh, honey. Look, Von Dutch. Oh, honey. Look, Von Dutch. Uh, OK! No. We're gonna be going now, OK? SLAP Ow! A little something to remember us by! Oh, OK! Come back soon, OK? I mean, you know where we are. Tell your friends! OK, yes, you bet! Thanks again, folks! Bye-bye, now. Psst! Psst! Hey! Hey, hey, hey! I know how to get to the interstate! Oh, do ya? Mini, no. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah... No, not really. But listen, I'm Lightning McQueen, the famous race car. I'm being held and I need you to call my team so they can come rescue me and get me to California. Do you understand? No, no, no, no, no! It's the truth! You gotta help me! Don't leave me here! I'm in hillbilly hell! My IQ's dropping by the second! I'm becoming one of them! (SIGHS) OK, don't worry. They know where we are now. They're gonna tell their friends, you'll see. "..Hank Williams marathon after a quick Piston Cup update." "Still no sign of Lightning McQueen. Meanwhile, Chick Hicks arrived and became the first car to spend practice time on the track." "It's just nice to get out here before the others." "You know, get a head start. It gives me an edge." Hey, McQueen! Eat your heart out. Mater, let me get this straight, I can go when this is done, right? That's what the judge said. OK, outta my way. I got a road to finish. He's done! Done? Mm-hm. It's only been an hour. I'm done, I'm finished! Just say thank you and I'll be on my way. That's all you gotta say. Woo-hoo, I'm the first one on the new road! It rides purty smooth! It looks awful! Well, it matches the rest of the town. (CRIES) Red! Who do you think you are? Doc said when I finish, I could go. That was the deal. The deal was you fix the road, not make it worse. Now scrape it off, start over again. Grandpa, I'm not a bulldozer, I'm a race car. Oh-ho-ho-ho, is that right? Then why don't we just have a little race, me and you? What? (CHUCKLES) Me and you? Is that a joke? If you win, you go and I fix the road. If I win, you do the road my way. Doc, what are you doing? I don't mean to be rude here, Doc, but you probably go 0-60 in, like, what? 3.5 years? Well then I reckon you ain't got nothing to worry about. You know what, old timer? That's a wonderful idea. Let's race. Gentleman, this will be a one-lap race. You will drive to Willy's Butte, go around Willy's Butte and come back. There will be no bumpin', no cheatin', no spittin', no bitin', no roadragin', no maimin', no oil slickin', no pushin', no shovin', no backstabbin', no roadhoggin' and no lollygaggin'. Speed, I am speed. Float like a Cadillac, sting like a Beemer. (LAUGHS) My friend, Guido, he dream to give a real race car a pit stop. Pit stop! Uhh, the race is only one lap, guys. Uno lapo, don't need any help. I work solo mio. Fine, race your way. No pit stoppo, comprendo? OK! Gentlemen... ..start... your... engines! STARTS GENTLY Huh. REVS LOUDLY Check that out! Mmmmm-hm! Great idea, Doc. Now the road will never get done. Luigi. On your mark, get set... ..uno for the money, due for the show, tre to get ready and quattro to... ..go! ALL CHEER Huh? Doc, the flag means go. Remember the flag? Here we go. Go! Uhh, Doc? What are you doing, man? Oh, dear. It would seem I'm off to a poor start. Well, better late than never. Come on, Mater. Might need a little help. Uhh, OK. You got your tow cable? Yeah, always. Why? Ohh, just in case. (SCREAMS) Ow, ow, ow, ow, ow! No, no, no! CRASH (ALL) Oooh, ow. Ow! Bad trip, man. Hey! Was that floating like a Cadillac or was that stinging like a Beemer? I'm confused. (LAUGHS) You drive like you fix roads, lousy! Have fun fishing, Mater. I'm starting to think he knew you was gonna crash. Thank you, Mater. Thank you. 1 I can make a little turn on dirt. You think? No, and now I'm a day behind. I'm never gonna get out of here! You need a new paintjob, man! No thank you. How about some organic fuel? That freak juice? Pass! Watching him work is making me thirsty. Anybody want something to drink? Nah, not me, Flo. I'm on one of them special diets. I'm a precisional instrument of speed and aromatics. "You race like you fix roads." I'll show him. I will show him! SPLAT Oh, great! I hate it! Hate, hate, hate, hate it! Music, sweet music. Maybe this wasn't such a good idea. Radiator Springs, a happy place! SPLAT Oh! OK, Bessie, you think that's funny?! Great! I'm talking to Bessie now! I'm talking to Bessie! FAINT LAUGHS Wee-hoo! (LAUGHS) Wow! Mornin', Sally! Hey, look at this here fancy new road Lighting McQueen done just made! Yes, amazing! Oh, yeah! (SIGHS) Ooh, Ramone! Mama ain't seen you that low in years. I haven't seen a road like this in years. Well then let's cruise, baby. Low and slow. Bellissima, it's beautiful! Guido, look. It's like it was paved by angels. I tell you what, I bet even the roads on the moon ain't this smooth! Look at this. Should have tossed him into a cactus lot sooner, huh? Well, he ain't finished yet. Still got a long way to go. Guido, look at Luigi! (LAUGHS) This is fantastico! That looks like fun! Mater, I got dibs! Next turn! Hey, Luigi. This new road makes your place look like a dump. Ahh, that crazy old devil woman! Oh... ohh... (SOBS) But she is right! Oh, Guido! Huh, that punk actually did a good job. Where the heck is he? Sheriff! Is he making another run for it? No, no. He ran out of asphalt in the night, asked if he could come here. All he's trying to do is make that there turn. No, no, no, no! Ahh, great! Perfect turns on every track I've ever raced on... Sheriff, why don't you go get yourself a quart of oil at Flo's? I'll keep an eye on him. Well, thanks, Doc. I've been feeling a quart low. (SCREAMS) This ain't asphalt, son. This is dirt. Great. What do you want? You here to gloat? You don't have three-wheel brakes so you've gotta pitch it hard, brake it loose and just drive it with the throttle. Give it too much and you'll be into the tulips. So you're a judge, a doctor and a racing expert? I'll put it simple. If you're going hard enough left, you'll find yourself turning right. Ohh. Right, that makes perfect sense. Turn right to go left, yes! Thank you! Or should I say, "No, thank you," because, in opposite world, maybe that really means thank you. Crazy grandpa car, what an idiot. Turn right to go left. Whoa! CRASH Ow! CREAKS THUD Owwwww! Turn right to go left. Guess what? I tried it. Know what? This crazy thing happened, I went right! You keep talking to yourself, people'll think you're crazy. Thanks for the tip. What? I wasn't talking to you. Oh, Guido! Qui bellissimo! Cosa? It looks great! Ti piace, eh? Si, si, bellissimo. (PARPS) Ooh, Lord. (CHUCKLES) Mater! I need you to watch the prisoner tonight. Wait a minute, what if he tries to run again? Just let him run outta gas and tow him on back, but keep an eye on him. Yes, sir! While I'm stuck here paving this stinkin' road, chicks in California schmoozing Dinoco, my Dinoco. FIZZES Whoa, who's touching me?! You have a slow leak. Guido, he fix. You make such a nice new road. Come to my shop, Luigi take care of you, though you not a Ferrari. You buy four tyres, I give you a full-size spare absolutely free. Look, I get all my tyres for free. (LAUGHS) I like your style! You drive the hard bargain. OK, Luigi make you a new deal. You buy one tyre, I give you three. Uhh, would you look at that! Ramone, Ramone! This is it, my last offer. You buy one tyre, I give you seven snow tyres for free! Done. If you're interested, you call me, you know where I am. Ooh, Red, you missed a spot. Right there. In the hood... Thanks, Red! What was that for?! Do you wanna stay at the Cosy Cone or what? Huh? If you do, gotta be clean. Even in hillbilly hell we have standards. I don't get it. Nothing. I thought I'd say thank you for a great job so I thought I'd let you stay with me. I mean, not with me, but there. Not with me there, but there in your own cosy cone and I'd be in my cone - Wait. Wait, you're being nice to me. If you wanna stay at the dirty impound, fine. Criminal types - No, that's OK. Yeah, the Cosy Cone. It's newly-refurbished. (CHUCKLES) Yeah, it's a clever little twist, motel's made out of cones, which, of course, cars usually avoid, but now we're gonna stay in them. That's funny. Figure that all out on your own, did you? Cone number one, if you want. Hey, do I spy a little pin striping tattoo back there? Oh! That's just... THUD Oh! (LAUGHS) You saw that? (GIGGLES) Just gonna be going. Gonna... Yeah. You know, I once knew this girl, Doreen. Good looking girl. Looked just like a Jaguar, only she was a truck. I used to crash into her just so I could spoke to her. What are you talking about? I don't know. I know something we can do tonight cos I'm in charge of watching you. No, Mater. I gotta finish this road and I have to get out of here. Well, that's all right, Mr I-Can't-Turn-On-Dirt. You probably couldn't handle it anyway. Whoa, whoa! Easy, now! Know who you're talking to? This is Lightning McQueen. I can handle anything. Mater, I'm not doing this! Oh, come on! You'll love it! (CHUCKLES) Tractor tippin's fun! This is ridiculous. All right, listen. When I say go, we go, but don't let Frank catch you. Go! Who's Frank? Mater! Wait, Mater! You just sneak up in front of 'em and then honk, and they do the rest. Watch this. HONKS MOOS SLOSHES PARPS PARPS (LAUGHS) Tractors is so dumb. I tell you what, buddy, it don't get much better than that. Yup, you're living the dream, boy. HONKS MOOS SLOSHES PARPS (LAUGHS) I don't care who you are, that's funny, right? Oh, your turn, bud.

I'm tellin' you! Oh, boy! You gotta admit, that was fu-un! Oh, yeah, yeah. Well, we better get you back to the impound lot. Actually, Sally's gonna let me stay at the motel. Ohh, getting cosy at the cone, is we? No, no! Are you kidding? Besides, she can't stand me. And I don't like her, to be honest. Yeah, you probably right. Hey, look! There's Miss Sally! Where?! Where?! (LAUGHS) You're in love with Miss Sally! No, I'm not. Yes, you do. No way. Way. Come on. # You're in love with Miss Sally, you're in love with Miss Sally! # You love her, you love her, you love her, you love her - You love her, you love her, you love her, you love her - Enough! Will you stop that? Stop what? Driving backwards, it's creeping me out. You're gonna wreck or something. Wreck? Shoot, I'm the world's best backwards driver. Watch this, lover boy. Wee-hee! What are you doing?! Watch out! Look out! Mater! Mater! Yee-hee! (LAUGHS) Wee! Hey! Take it easy, Mater! Hee-hee! (CHUCKLES) He's nuts! Ain't no need to watch where I'm going... ..just need to know where I've been. Whoa, that was incredible! How'd you do that? Rear-view mirrors. We'll get you some and I'll teach you, if you want. Maybe I'll use 'em in my big race. Maybe I'll use 'em in my big race. What's so important about this race of yours, anyway? It's not just a race. We're talking about the Piston Cup. I've been dreaming about it my whole life. I'll be the first rookie ever to win it and when I do, we're talking big new sponsor with private helicopters. No more medicated bumper ointment, no more rusty old cars. What's wrong with rusty old cars? I don't mean you, Mater. I mean other old cars. Not like you, I like you. That's OK, buddy. Do think maybe one day I can get a ride in one of them helicopters? I mean, I've always wanted to ride in one of them fancy helicopters. Yeah, yeah, sure. You mean it? Oh, yeah. Anything you say. I knew it. I knowd I made a good choice! In what? My best friend. See you tomorrow, buddy! # McQueen and Sally, parking at the trees # K-I-S-something-something- something-T! # (LAUGHS) Number one, number one... Ahh, number one! Ah, this is nice. Hey, stickers! BOTH YELP I'm sorry! Oh, you scared me! You gotta be careful - I scared myself scaring you scaring me. I wasn't scared, scared, more... Just I overheard you talking to Mater. When? Just now? What did you hear? Something about a helicopter ride. Oh, yeah! Yeah, he got a kick out of that, didn't he? Did you mean it? What? That you'll get him a ride? Oh, who knows? First thing's first, I gotta get outta here and make the race. Uh-huh. You know, Mater trusts you. Yeah, OK. Did you mean that? What? Was it just a, "Yeah, OK," or, "Yeah, OK," or, "Yeah, OK." Look, I'm exhausted. It's kinda been a long day. Look, I'm exhausted. It's kinda been a long day. Yeah, OK. Night. Hey, thank you. What did you just say? Thanks for letting me stay here. It's nice to be outta the impound and this is... it's great. Newly-refurbished, right? Yeah. Night. Goodnight.

Of course! I can't believe I didn't see it before! The fabulous Hornet! Used to hold the record for most wins in a single season. You gotta show me your tricks! Already tried. You won the championship three times, look at those trophies! You look. All I see is a bunch of empty cups. You know, some automotive yoga could really lower your RPMs, man. Oh, take a car wash, hippie. Look at my husband, y'all! Woo, that's your colour! Yellow, baby! You smokin' hot! There he is. Did you know Doctor's a famous race car? ALL LAUGH Doc? Our Doc? No, no, no, no! It's true! He's a racing legend. He's the fabulous Hudson Hornet! Fabulous? I never seen Doc drive more than 20mph. Have you ever seen him race? No, but I wish I could have. They say he was amazing. He won three Piston Cups! I think the heat's starting to get to the boy. Well, I'll say! Look how red he is! I think he needs a new coat of poly! Are you sick? You are looking a little peaky. He needs a new coat, for sure! Hey, hey! What are you doing? It's OK, you can trust me. I trust you, all right, it's him I'm worried about. Hmm... I trust him. Come on, let's take a drive. A drive? Yeah, a drive. Don't you big city race cars ever just take a drive? Don't you big city race cars ever just take a drive? Uhh, no. No, we don't. Hey, stickers! Are you coming or what? Mm-hm, and you thought he was gonna run. Can you believe it? He actually thought Doc was a famous race car. (LAUGHS) Too much! OK, you got me out here. Where are we going? I don't know. Whoa! Yes! (LAUGHS) LAUGHS / SPLAT Blugh! (LAUGHS) (LAUGHS) Wow! What is this place? Wheel Well. Used to be the most popular stop on the mother road. This place? Yeah, imagine. Oh, imagine what it must have been like to stay here. You know, I don't get you. How does a Porsche wind up in a place like this? Well, it's really pretty simple. I was an attorney in LA, living life in the fast lane. Oh, you were, were you? Were you rich? What? Just clues to the puzzle. Yeah, OK. Well, that was my life, and you know what? It never felt... happy. Yeah. I mean, really? Yeah. So I left California, just drove and drove and finally broke down right here. Doc fixed me up, Flo took me in. Well, they all did. And I never left. I understand you'd need a little R and R, recharge the old batteries, but, you know, after a while, why didn't you go back? I fell in love. Oh. Yup. Corvette? No. I fell in love... with this. Whoa. Look at that. They're driving right by, don't even know what they're missing. They're driving right by, don't even know what they're missing. Well, it didn't used to be that way. Oh, yeah? Yeah. 40 years ago, that interstate down there didn't exist. Really? Yeah. Back then, cars came across the country a whole different way. How do you mean? How do you mean? Well, the road didn't cut through the land like that interstate. It moved with the land, you know? It rose, it fell, it curved. Mornin'! Nice day, huh? Cars didn't drive on it to make great time, they drove on it to have a great time. # Long ago # Not so very long ago # The world was different # Oh, yes it was # You settled down and you built a town # And made it there # And you watched it grow # It was your town # What happened? The town got bypassed just to save 10 minutes of driving. # Time goes by, time brings changes # You change too # Nothing comes that you can't handle # So on you go # You never see it coming # When the world caves in on you # On your town # There's nothing you can do # Main Street isn't Main Street anymore # No-one seems to need us # Like they did before # It's hard to find a reason # Left to stay # But it's our town # We love it anyway # Come what may # It's our town # How great would it have been to see this place in its heyday? I can't tell you how many times I've dreamed of that. One of these days, we'll find a way to get it back on the map. Yeah. Hey, listen, thanks for the drive. I had a great time. It's kinda nice to slow down every once in a while. It's kinda nice to slow down every once in a while. You're welcome. Hey, listen! If anybody asks, we was out smashin' mailboxes, OK?! Hey, listen!

Here, take the snow tyres! Mater! I wasn't tractor tippin'! Then where did all these tractors come from?! (LAUGHS) Hey! Hey, guys! There's one going this way! I got it. Come here, little tractor. Come here. That's a good tractor. No, no, no. Come here. What are you doing? You're not supposed to go wandering off all... ..alone. What are you doing with those old racing tyres? Come on, Doc. Drive. Wow! You're amazing! What are you doing?! Doc, wait! 1 Get up in there! Come on, Rusty! Wee-hee! Doc, hold it! Seriously, your driving's incredible! Wonderful. Now go away. I mean it, you've still got it! I'm asking you to leave. Come on, I'm a race car, you're a... ..a much older race car but, under the hood, you and I are the same! We are not! Now get out. How could a car like you quit at the top of your game? You think I quit? Right. The big wreck in '54. They quit on me. When I 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. There was a lot left in me. I never got a chance to show 'em. I keep that... to remind me never to go back. I just never expected that that world would find me here. Hey, look, Doc, I'm not them. Oh, yeah? No, I'm not. When is the last time you cared about something except yourself? You name me one time and I will take it all back. Uh-huh. I didn't think so. These are good folk around here, who care about one another. I don't want 'em depending on someone they can't count on. Like you? You've been here how long and your friends don't even know who you are. Who's caring about only himself? Just finish that road and get outta here. BUGLE CALL / ELECTRIC GUITAR PLAYS STAR SPANGLED BANNER Will you turn that disrespectful junk off?! Respect the classics, man! (SNORES) He's done. He must have finished it while we was all asleep.

I'm glad he's gone! (CRIES) What's wrong with Red? Oh, he's just sad cos you left town and went to your big race to win the Piston Cup that you've always dreamed about your whole life and get that big old sponsor and that fancy helicopter you was talkin' about. Wait a minute! ALL LAUGH I knowd you wouldn't leave without saying goodbye! What are you doing here, son? You're gonna miss your race! I'll give you a police escort and we'll make up the time. Thank you. But, you know, I can't go just yet. Why not? I'm not sure these tyres... (GASPS) ..can get me all the way to California. Pit stop? Does anybody know what time Luigi's opens? Oh-ho-ho, I can't believe it! Four new tyres! Gracie, Mr Lightning, grazie! Would you look at that. Our first real customer in years! I am filled with tears of ecstasy for this is a most glorious day of my life! All right, Luigi. Give me the best set of black walls you've got. No, no, no, no. You don't know what you want. Luigi know what you want. Black wall tyres? They blend into the pavement. But these... white wall tyres, they say, "Look at me! Here I am! Love me!" All right, you're the expert. (LAUGHS) Oh, and don't forget the spare. Perfecto. Guido! Pit stop! # "Route 66" - Chuck Berry (LAUGHS) What did Luigi tell you? Wow, you were right? Better than a Ferrari, huh? ..Er, no. # Get your kicks on Route 66... # Wow, this organic fuel is great! Why haven't I heard about it before? It's a conspiracy, man!

Welcome to what has become the biggest event in the history of racing, "a three-way battle for the Piston Cup." "Bob, there's a crowd of nearly 200,000 cars here at the speedway." "Tickets to this race are hotter than a black leather seat on a hot summer day." "The King, Chick Hicks and Lightning McQueen in a 200-lap, winner-takes-all tie-breaker race." "Bob, you know I got a lot of miles on me, but let me tell you, I never thought I'd see anything like this. Woo! This is exciting!" "In fact, the country is almost shut down to watch what experts are calling the race of the century." Hey, King. Good luck in your last race. You've been an inspiration. Thanks, Junior. Appreciate it. Hey, be careful out there, OK? Yeah, man. Yeah? You wanna know the forecast? A hundred percent chance of... ..thunder! Ka-jigga! Ka-jigga! Say it with me. Ka-jigga-jigga! Hey, you! No admittance without a garage pass. It's OK, Lightning McQueen knows me. Hey, Marco! It's a beautiful day for a race, isn't it? Absolutely, Mr Andretti. And good morning to you... Fred. Mario Andretti knows my name! You've gotta let me in now! Sorry, pal. OK, here we go. Focus. Speed. I am speed. Victory. One winner, two losers. Speed, speed, speed... speed... (BANGS) Lightning, you ready? Yeah, yeah, yeah. I'm ready. Mack, thanks for being my pit crew today. Don't worry about it, least I could do. After all, Gas Can is my middle name. It is? Er, not really. Woo! Woo! Woo! Woo! Uh-oh! ALL CHEER / LAUGH Nelson, zoom in! Ready, 16? Take 16. And there he is, Lightning McQueen. "Missing all week and he turns up in the middle of nowhere in a little town called Radiator Springs." "Wearing white wall tyres, of all things." Ka-jigga! Ka-jigga! Ka-jigga! (LAUGHS) Where you been, McQueen? I've been lonely, nobody to hang out with. Except the Dinoco folks. Oh, and the twins, of course. You know the twins, the ones that used to be your fans but now they're mine. Anyway... "Boogity, boogity, boogity, boys! Let's go racin'!" Come on, you can do it! Make us proud, boy! "50 laps down and The King is still holding a slim lead." "Hey, McQueen's got a run on him! He's looking to the inside!" "Oh, Chick slammed the door on him!" "Chick's not making it easy on him." "Man, he lost so much momentum and now he's gonna have to chase him back down." "Oh, McQueen spins out in the infield!" (GASPS) (LAUGHS) Just me and the old man, fellas. "McQueen just doesn't have it today." ALL LAUGH (GROANS) "Hey, kid. Are you all right?" (GROANS) "Hey, kid. Are you all right?" I don't know, Mack. I... I don't think - "I didn't come all this way to see you quit." I don't think - "I didn't come all this way to see you quit." Doc? Guys, you're here! I can't believe this! I knew you needed a crew chief but I didn't know it was this bad. I thought you said you'd never come back. I didn't have a choice. Mater didn't get to say goodbye. Goodbye! OK, I'm good. (LAUGHS) All right, if you can drive as good as you can fix a road, then you can win this race with your eyes shut. Now get back out there. Hot snot, we are back in business! Guido, Luigi, you're going up against professional crews, gonna have to be fast. They will not know what beat them. Kid, you can beat these guys. "Find the groove that works for you and get that lap back." Is that... Is that... Is that... That's the Hudson Hornet. Bob, the Hudson Hornet's back! "Darrell, it appears McQueen has got himself a pit crew and look who he has for a chief." Whoa! Look, it's the Hudson Hornet! Whoa! Dip me in axel grease and call me Slick, it surely is! Dip me in axel grease and call me Slick, it surely is! CROWD ROARS "Wow, this is history in the making. Nobody has seen the racing legend in over 50 years." Hey, Doc! Come and look at this fella on the radio! He looks just like you. "McQueen passes them on the inside!" "But he's still nearly a lap down." "Can he catch up to them with only 60 laps to go?" You're going great, kid. Just keep your head on. A vai! Vai, vai! Hey, shrimpy! Where did McQueen find you? Those round things are called tyres and they go under the car! ALL LAUGH Con chi credi di parlare? No, you will have your chance, Guido. You will have your chance. Oh, kid's trying to be a hero, huh? Well, what do you think of this? Yeah, that's it, kid. What?! Whoa, git 'r done! (LAUGHS) I taught him that. Ka-chow! "What a move, he's caught up to the leaders." "Oh, yeah. This is what it's all about. A three-way battle for the lead with ten to go." Hah-hah! Look at that boy go out there! No, you don't! Doc, I'm flat! I'm flat! Can you get to the pits? Yeah, I think so. Got a yellow. Bring it in. Don't tear yourself up, kid. We gotta get him back out fast or we're gonna be a lap down. We'll never win! Guido, it's time. Hey, tiny! You gonna clean his windshield? ALL LAUGH "I don't believe it!" "The fastest pit I've ever seen!" "It was great, but he's gotta beat that pace car out." "It's gonna be close!" ALL CHEER "Yeah, he's back in the race!" Pit stop. CROWD ROARS "This is it, we're heading into the final lap and McQueen is right behind." "What a comeback!" "199 laps and baby, it all comes down to this!" This is it, kiddo. You've got four turns left. One at a time. "Drive it in deep and hope it sticks. Go!" "McQueen's going inside!" "Chick and The King are loose!" "I think McQueen is out the race!" "McQueen saved it!" "He's back on!" Float like a Cadillac... Sting like a Beemer! ALL CHEER "Lightning McQueen is gonna win the cup!" You've got it, stickers! I am not coming in behind you again, old man! Oh, no! Yeah! Woo-hoo! I won, baby! Yeah! What's he up to, Doc? What are you doing, kid? I think The King should finish his last race. You just gave up the Piston Cup, you know that? This grumpy old race car told me something. It's just an empty cup. "Darrell, is pushing on the last lap legal?" "He's not pushing him, he's just giving him a little bump draft." Woo-hoo-hoo! Hey! What? What's going on? That's what I call racing right there. Hah-hah-hah! CROWD ROARS Bravo, mi amigo! Way to go, buddy! There's a lot of love out there, man. Don't embarrass me, Fillmore. That's my hot-rod. Come on, baby! Bring it out! Bring out the Piston Cup! Ka-jigga! Yeah? Yeah! Now that's what I'm talkin' about! How come the only one celebrating is me? Where are the girls? Bring on the confetti. Ow! Ow! Easy. What's going on? Come on, snap some pictures. I gotta sign my deal with Dinoco. Ka-jigga! BOOS What's wrong with everybody?! Ow! What's happening?! This is the start of the Chick era! (SMOOCH) Thanks, Lightning. You're welcome. Way to go, King! You're the king! Yee-haw! CROWD ROARS Hey, hey! Wah-hoo! You made us proud, kid! Congrats on the loss, bucko. You got a lot of stuff, kid. Thanks, Doc. Hey, Lightning. How about coming here and talking to me a minute. Son, that was some real racing out there. How'd you like to become the new face of Dinoco? But I didn't win. Lightning, there's a whole lot more to racing than just winning. ..when he drove down the street, buzzards used to circle the car! ..when he drove down the street, buzzards used to circle the car! ALL LAUGH Thank you, Mr Tex, but these Rust-eze guys over there gave me my big break. ALL CHUCKLE ALL CHUCKLE I'm gonna stick with them. Well, I sure can respect that. Still, you know if there's ever anything I can do for you, just let me know. I sure appreciate that, thank you. Actually, there is one thing. Woo-hoo! Hey, look at me! I'm flying! Woo-hoo! I'm happier than a tornado in a trailer park! I think it's about time we redecorate, hmm? REVS Ciao. Hi. Lightning McQueen told me this was the best place in the world to get tyres. How about setting me and my friends up with three or four sets each? Guido, there is a real Michael Schumacher Ferrari in my store! A real Ferrari! Punch me, Guido. Punch me in the face! This is the most glorious day of my life! Wow. Spero che il tuo amico si riprenda. Mi dicono che siete fantastici. REVS / GASPS BOTH LAUGH Just passing through? Actually, I thought I'd stop and stay a while. I hear this place is back on the map. It is? Yeah, some rumour floating around that some hot shot race car is setting up his big racing headquarters here. Really? Well, there goes the town. I really missed you, Sally. Well, I create feelings in others they themselves don't understand and blah, blah, blah. # McQueen and Sally, parking in the trees # K-I-S-S... er... I-E-T! # Great timing, Mater! He's my best friend, what are you gonna do? So, stickers, last one to Flo's buys? I don't know. Why don't we just take a drive? Hmm... nah. Yeah! Ka-chow! # Well, if you ever plan to motor west # Take my way, that's the highway that's the best # Get your kicks on Route 66 # Well, it winds from Chicago to LA # More than 2,000 miles all the way # Get your kicks on Route 66 # Well, it goes through St Louis, Joplin, Missouri # Oklahoma City looks oh so pretty # You'll see Amarillo # And Gallup, New Mexico # Flagstaff, Arizona Don't forget Winona # Kingman, Barstow, San Bernadino # Won't you get hip to this timely tip # And take that California trip # Get your kicks on Route 66 SNEEZES All right, everybody please keep together. We is now entering the Doc Hudson wing of the museum. Wow, unbelievable. That many wins in a single season. He's the real deal, Junior. The Hornet was my inspiration. Excuse me, son. Is Doc Hudson here today? Sorry, Mrs The King. I think Doc went out for a drive or something. Woo! Yee-haw! Woo-hoo! Well, you sure ain't no dirt boy. Not today, old man. I know all your tricks. Doc! Doc! Doc! Doc! Yee-haw! Not all my tricks, rookie! # It goes to St Louis, Joplin, Missouri # Oklahoma City looks oh so pretty # You'll see Amarillo # And Gallup, New Mexico # Flagstaff, Arizona Don't forget Winona # Kingman, Barstow, San Bernadino # Attention! Kiss the pavement goodbye. When I'm finished, you'll have mud in places you didn't know you had! Yo, I've never been off road! Well, that's gonna change right now! About face! Drop and give me 20 miles! Go, go, go, go, go, go! Man, now I got dirt in my rims! Look at this! It's my hood! It's my hood! I ain't seen this thing in 20 years! Well, it fits perfectly! How do I look? SNEEZES Aww, dang. "You are a toy car!" "You are a sad, strange little wagon and you have my pity. Farewell." "Oh, yeah? Well, good riddance, you loony!" "I hate to break up the rally, guys, but... they're here!" "Birthday guests at three o'clock!" Oh, man! Whoever does the voice of that piggy truck, I'm telling you, he's one great actor. "We're banished, genius, stuck out here in this wasteland without chains!" "But, Mike, the Boomobile's in trouble! She needs our help!" "You're still not listening!" BOTH GASP "Welcome to the Himalayas! Snow cone?" Oh, that abominable slow-plough is quite the comic thespian. "Just get in there, go, go, go!" "Circus cars?!" "How can you be circus cars?!" "These are the lousiest cars in the world, they're gonna make me rich!" Wait a minute, here! They're just using the same actor over and over. What kind of a cut-rate production is this? # When you find yourself # In some far off place # And it causes you # To rethink some things # You start to sense # That slowly you're becoming someone else # And then you find yourself # When you make new friends # In a brand new town # And you start to think # About settlin' down # The things that would have been lost on you # Are now clear as a bell # And you find yourself # Yeah, that's when you find yourself # Well, you go through life # So sure of where you're heading # And you wind up lost # And it's the best thing that could have happened # Cos sometimes, when you lose your way, # It's really just as well # Because you find yourself # Yeah, that's when you find yourself # When you meet the one # That you've been waiting for # And she's everything # That you want and more # You look at her and you finally start # To live for someone else # And then you find yourself # Yeah, that's when you find yourself # Sometimes, when you lose your way, # It's really just as well # Because you find yourself # Yeah, that's when you find yourself # Oh... oh... Oh, for the love of Chrysler, can we please ask for directions?! No! There's an on-ramp close, I know it! I can feel it!
