101 Dalmatians: Cars 3

We're Not Going To Florida?

(Then we cut to the gang standing outside of Sterling's office as they can hear Sterling and Cruz talking)

Cruz: It's not easy for them.

Sterling: Cruz, relax. I will talk to them. I know their your project.

(The gang looked at a forklift cleaning the floor)

Forklift: Floors all washed up and clean.

McQueen: I'm sorry, what?

Forklift: I said floors all washed and cleaned.

McQueen: Oh, Right.

Scooby: Rhat did he say?

McQueen: I thought for sure he said " You're all washed up McQueen and Wallace".

Wallace: You probably was imagine it.

(Cruz then comes out of Sterling's office)

Sterling: Thank you very much.

Cruz: Uhh... Goodluck.

(Cruz then rolls off)

Patch: I wonder what he said.

Sterling: Hey! Lightning! Guys! Come in, got something to show ya. You ready?

Lightning: Uh... for what? [They enters; Sterling shows them of array of Lightning McQueen and 101 Dalmatians-themed merchandise] Wow.

Sterling: You all are about to become the best brand in racing. We are talking saturation on all continents for every demographic. Movie deals, infomercials, product endorsements!

Woofster: Mudflaps?

Sterling: Of course! We'll be rich beyond belief! You think you're famous now?

[They all laugh]

Lightning: Thought you'd be mad about the simulator, I mean th-this is all great, Mr. Sterling, I guess, but... I don't know. I never really thought of myself as a brand.

Sterling: Oh, nor do I. I'm a fan, maybe your most avid. I think of this as your legacy.

Lightning: [pause, chuckles weirly] That... that sounds like something that happens after you're... [with sudden realization] ...done racing. [Long pause] Mr. Sterling, what is this about?

Sterling: Look, Lightning. Guys. [inhales] I'm not gonna race you.

Lucky: [shocked] What? What do you mean, not race us?

Sterling: Hold on, hold on.

Wallace: We're not going to Florida?

Sterling: Lightning! Guys! Y'all have no idea how excited I was to get you all here because I knew. I knew you'd be back! Was gonna be the comeback story of the year, but... y'all speed and performance just aren't where they need to be. I'm sorry.

Lightning: Wha... we're talking about speed on a simulator! Listen to how crazy that sounds!

Sterling: Look, I'm trying to help you all. As your sponsor, yes, but also as your friend. Yours and Wallace's racing days are coming to an end. Every time you and Wallace lose, you and him damage yourselfs.

Penny: Damage the brand, you mean?

Sterling: Oh, Guys, come on! You've done the work, now move on the next phase and reap the reward!

Lightning & The Squad: The racing is the reward, not the stuff! W- We don't wanna cash in, W - We wanna feel the rush of moving 200 miles an hour! Inches from the other guys, pushing ourselfs faster than we thought I'd go! That's the reward, Mr. Sterling!

Sterling: Oh, Guys, come on.

Walace: Look, I can do this! w - w - we can, I promise! W - W - We'll train like we did with Doc! w-we'll get our tires dirty on every dirt track from here to Florida! W - We can start right there on Fireball Beach, where all the old greats used to race!

Sterling: Get your tires dirty? That's how you're gonna get faster than Storm?

Lightning: Yes! Exactly! I mean — sacred dirt, right? Mr. Sterling, if you care about our legacy, the one that Doc started, you'll let us do this! I promise you! We will win!

Sterling: [sighs] I don't know. What you're asking is too risky.

Lightning: Come on, you'll like it, I can tell! It's got that little comeback story of the year feel, doesn't it?!

Lucky: It does!

Sterling: [sighs and rolls his eyes; pauses] One race? [Lightning and the squad nods] If you don't win at Florida, you and Wallace will retire?

Lightning: Look, if we don't win, we'll sell all the mudflaps you got. But if we do win, we decide when we're done. Deal?

Sterling: [pauses] Deal.

Cadpig: Thank you, Mr. Sterling. You won't be sorry.

Sterling: Just one thing, and this is only because I don't like taking chances: y'all taking someone with you.

[Lightning and the gang starts to leave but stops, speechless.]

Penelope: Who's coming with us?

Spot: I wonder who is coming with us?
