CUT TO:
MATER as he grabs a drink, while Ralph is following to Mater, keeps moving.
MATER
"I'll take one of them."
He snatches it, drops it in the back where we now see a large assortment of drinks balanced.
MATER
"Never know which one McQueen'll have a hankering for."
Mater and Ralph approaches a sushi bar.
RALPH
"Okay buddy go find your usual, I will get drink what you requested, okay?"
MATER
"Okay."
RALPH
"Good, I will be back in a few."
Ralph rush to the other side of the bar.
MATER
"Hey, what you got here that's free? How about that pistachio ice cream?"
He refers to wasabi, of course.
SUSHI CHEF
"No, no. Wasabi."
MATER
"Oh, same ol', same ol'. What's up with you? That looks delicious."
The chef starts to carve a small scoop aside for Mater.
MATER
"Uh, a little more, please. It is free, right?
(the chef adds more)
Keep it coming. A little more. Come on, let's go, it's free! You're getting there... Scoop scoop!"
The chef gives in. Scoops a baseball-sized ball out.
MATER
"There you go. Now THAT's a scoop of ice cream."
SUSHI CHEF
(in Japanese, subtitles)
"My condolences."
Ralph carrying Drinks to Mater, and give a very nervous when he saw he was about to eat.
RALPH
"Mater, you sure you want that, because I heard those stuff are spicy."
MATER
"Sure, I can handle it"
RALPH
"Okay, whatever you said Bud."

CUT BACK TO:
MILES AXLEROD - He's now nearly done with his intros.
MILES AXLEROD
"... and now, our last competitor --- Number 95, Lightning McQueen!"
MCQUEEN approaches the microphone, flashes his headlights.
MCQUEEN
"Ka-Chow, Thank you so much for having us, Sir Axlerod. I really look forward to racing. This is a great opportunity."
MILES AXLEROD
"Oh, the pleasure is all ours, Lightning. You and your team bring excellence and professionalism to this competition.
As if on cue, Mater arrives with a piercing scream of pain. Everyone turns as he charges head first toward the stage, making a bee-line for that FOUNTAIN.
MATER
"Somebody get me water!"
He laps up water from the fountain like a diabetic cat.
MATER
(LAPPING WATER)
"Sweet relief..."
Miles Axlerod is shocked. The crowd can't believe it. Francesco cackles, while the Team McQueen was embarrassed.
KRISTOFF
"What did he eat?"
RALPH
(SIGH)
"Wasabi."
YASMINA
"Wasabi?"
BROOKLYNN
"Why did you let him eat that?"
RALPH
"I don't know he said he can handled it but... he did not."
VANALLOPE
"Well that unfortunate."
Mater, now sated, approaches the mic.
MATER
(to the crowd)
"Whatever you do, do not eat the free pistachio ice cream. It has turned!"
MCQUEEN
"Sir Axlerod, I can explain. This is Mater."
MILES AXLEROD
"I know him. This is the bloke that called into the television show.
(TO MATER)
You're the one I have to thank."
MATER
"No, thank you. This trip's been amazing."
MILES AXLEROD
(TO MCQUEEN)
"He's a little excited, isn't he?"
TILT DOWN to reveal a pool of oil beneath Mater.
MCQUEEN
"Mater!"
MATER
"But wait, I... oh, shoot."
McQueen quickly pulls Mater aside, out of earshot of Miles Axlerod and the others. McQueen is beside himself.
MCQUEEN
"Mater, you have to get a hold of yourself. You're making a scene."
MATER
"But I never leak oil. Never."
MCQUEEN
"Go take care of yourself right now. Mater drives off."
Mater drives off.
TO BE COUNTINUED!!!!!
