INT. TRAIN TUNNEL - LATER

Stephenson glides along, all business.

STEPHENSON

"Finn, one hour to Porto Corsa."

INT. TRAIN - MOVING - LATER

FINN

"Thank you, Stephenson."

Finn watches as HOLLEY and SHANK attaches a new EMERGENCY LIGHT on Mater's roof. It looks exactly like his old one.

HOLLEY

"That should just about do it."

FINN

"Perfect."

HOLLEY

"So, Mater, it's voice-activated. But you know, everything's voice-activated these days."

MATER

"What? I thought you was supposed to be making me a disguise.

MATER'S COMPUTER

"Voice recognized. Disguise Program Initiated."

ZWWWWAT! A HOLOGRAPHIC disguise suddenly umbrellas out, emitted from Mater's roof. It drops a clean cloaking image of the EASTERN EUROPEAN TOW TRUCK over Mater.

RALPH

"Cool."

MATER

"Yeah, Ralph cool! Hey, computer. Make me a German truck!"

MATER'S COMPUTER

"Request acknowledged."

ZWATTTT! Mater suddenly wears lederhosen and a German hat.

MATER

"Check it out. I'm wearing Materhosen. Make me a monster truck!"

MATER'S COMPUTER

"Request acknowledged."

He's transformed into Dracula, complete with fangs.

MATER

(ALA DRACULA)

"I vant to siphon your gas. Now make me a taco truck!"

MATER'S COMPUTER

"Request acknowledged."

He's transformed into a Taco Truck, open its window cart.

MATER

"A funny car!"

MATER'S COMPUTER

"Request acknowledged."

He's transformed into a custom racecar with fiery engine booster. Finn suddenly pushes a button, stops the madness.

FINN

"The idea is to keep a low profile, Mater."

Mater, chastened, moves on.

MATER

"So, I just go in, pretend to be this truck."

FINN

"And leave the rest to us."

JOHNNY

"And you're going there alone."

RALPH

"But without me?"

KENJI

"Yes, Ralph without you, Besides your too recognizable with your Big Hobo feet."

Ralph looks to his feet and look's ashamed.

HOLLEY

"Now hold still."

Holley turns back to her work. The disguise's cloaking is larger than Mater. As a result, Holley must dial it back to fit his body. As she carefully calibrates the hologram:

HOLLEY

"I have to do the final fitting on your disguise."

Holley STOPS. The 3D disguise is now flush with his frame, but dents SHOW THROUGH.

SHANK

"Oh dear. That's no good."

She deploys WALL-E holding A BONDO SPRAYER, uses it toward one of Mater's DENTS. Mater pulls away.

MATER

"Hey, what are you doing?"

HOLLEY

"The disguise won't calibrate effectively without a smooth surface to graft onto."

MATER

"Oh. For a second there I thought you was trying to fix my dents."

HOLLEY

"Yes, I was."

NICK

"You don't want to fix your Dents, Mate?"

MATER

"I don't think so Officer Wilde. I don't get them dents buffed, pulled, filled or painted by nobody. They're way too valuable."

HOLLEY

"Your dents are valuable?"

NICK

"Really?"

MATER

"I come by each one of them with my best friend Lightning McQueen. I don't fix these. I want to remember these dents forever."

HOLLEY

"So, you were being serious in Paris? McQueen isn't just part of your cover?"

NICK

"He your Best Friend pal, we get it now Mate."

FINN

"Friendships can be dangerous in our line of work, Mater."

MATER

"But my line of work is towing and salvage."

FINN

"Right. And Miss Shiftwell's is designing iPhone apps."

JUDY

"Really Shiftwell I don't know that?"

MATER

"No, I meant for real. I ---"

HOLLEY

"It's okay. Say no more. I'll work around the dent."

KENJI

"And since you're Saving the World now guys, in the meantime..."

Kenji hits a button. The walls transform into a MASSIVE WEAPONS CACHE.

KENJI

"You need some Upgrade Guys."

DARIUS

"Cool."
