BUCKINGHAM PALACE - DAY
A massive crowd packs the adjacent streets and parks. Mater does the requisite "silly faces" in an attempt to break the composure of a Buckingham Palace Guard. Even though it isn't working. Ruby approaches with a grin, "Mater, let's go. You're on."
INT. QUEEN'S CHAMBER - BUCKINGHAM PALACE - DAY
The Queen sits in attention at the front of the Main Ballroom. As Mater and Ruby approach, Lord Steward gestures to Mater, "Your Majesty. May I present for the investiture of honorary Knighthood of the British Realm. Tow Mater of Radiator Springs." Ruby pats Mater's arm as she moves to stand next to her father, "Go get 'em, buddy." Ruby joins her friends from Radiator Springs. Mater steps forward and bows as if he's practiced it all day.
The Queen lifts her staff and taps Mater's shoulder's with it, "I hereby dub thee 'Sir Tow Mater.'" Applause is heard from all around. "'Sir?' Shoot, you can just call me Mater, Your Majesty. I don't wanna hear none of this 'Sir' business." Mater says, looking up at the Queen as she smiles at him, "By the way, have y'all met each other? Queen? McQueen. McQueen, Queen. McQueen? McMissile. McMissile, McQueen. Queen? McMissile."
Ruby chuckles as Mater continues introducing everyone.
EXT. RADIATOR SPRINGS - DAY
The town sign now reads "WELCOME TO RADIATOR SPRINGS - HOME OF LIGHTNING MCQUEEN AND SIR TOW MATER."
EXT. FLO'S - DAY
Everyone surrounds Mater and Ruby. The rest of the Radiator Springs gang is watching as Mater tells his story. Van and Minny are front and center. "So there I was: rocket jets going full blast, McQueen hanging on for dear life when suddenly them two nasty lemons come out of nowhere, guns drawed. We was goners. But then, out of nowhere, this cool spy swoops in from the sky to save us!" Ruby smiles as Mater tells his story, lightly rubbing her stomach.
Mater was excited to hear that she was pregnant, but Doc gave him a long lecture that made Mater do double work in the clinic. Minny claps her hands at the story, "That's a very entertaining story, young man." Her husband rolls his eyes, "Oh, Minny, please. Come on, none of this happened. Rocket jets? Flying spies?"
"No, you're quite right. It does sound a bit far-fetched." A voice calls out. The crowd turns and sees Holley, wings out, swooping in. Finn is right below her, driving up the street.
"Holley! Finn!"
"Hello, Mater. It's so nice to see you again."
"What're you doing here?" Ruby walks next to Mater up to the spies. Finn jumps out of his car, "Our satellites picked up an urgent communique."
"So you got my e-mail." Luigi calls out behind the couple. Mater laughs, "Oh, man. Y'all is gonna have a great time. Everybody! This here's Finn McMissile. He's a secret agent. Don't tell nobody. And this is Holley Shiftwell. She's ---"
"I'm Mater's friend. It's so nice to meet you all."
Guido's jaw drops as everyone else stares in shock.
"Guido believe you now."
"Whoa, honey. You got a nasty dent there." Flo points out to Holley's dented wing. Indeed, Holley still wears the dent from when she saved Mater from Grem and Acer. Van was already crushing on her, "Was that from when you swooped in and saved them in London?" Minny gasps and smacks Van's arm, "Van!"
"What? I'm just asking."
"Don't you worry, sweet pea. My baby Ramone can get that fixed up for you in no time." Flo mentions. Ramone nods his head, "Yeah, sure thing. No problemo. Just let me go get my tools."
"Oh no, no. I'm keeping that dent. It's way too valuable." She replies. Ruby glances at Mater to see him take this in. "A "valuable" dent? Oh, she's as crazy as Mater." Lizzie spoke. Ruby frowns and turns to the two spies, "You know, there's one thing I still don't get. The bad guys hit me with the beam from the camera, right? So why didn't I, you know..."
"Explode in a fiery inferno?" Mater answers.
"Yeah."
"We couldn't figure that one out either." Finn answers. Holley steps next to Ruby and takes her hand, "Our investigation proved that Allinol was actually gasoline. And Miles Axlerod engineered it so that when it got hit by the beam it would explode."
"Wait a second. Fillmore, you said my fuel was safe." Ruby turns her head to the hippie with a puzzled look. As did everyone else. "If you're implying that I switched out that rotgut excuse for alternative fuel with my all- natural, sustainable, organic biofuel just because I never trusted Axlerod, you're dead wrong, man." Fillmore nudges Sarge, "It was him."
Sarge glances at everyone before answering, "Once Big Oil, always Big Oil. Man."
"Tree hugger." Fillmore teasingly mocks.
Ruby stares at Sarge before facing Holley, "We're having a race in a few minutes. Care to watch?"
Holley nods her head, "I would love too."
