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

Cars surround Mater and McQueen. The rest of the Radiator Springs gang is here too, watches. VAN and MINNY are front and center.

MATER

"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 beautiful spy car swoops in from the sky to save us!"

MINNY

"That's a very entertaining story, young man."

VAN

"Oh, Minny, please. Come on, none of this happened. Rocket jets? Flying spy cars?"

HOLLEY

"No, you're quite right. It does sound a bit far-fetched."

The crowd turns, sees HOLLEY, wings out, swooping in. FINN & The REST is right below her, driving up the street.

MATER

"Holley! Finn! Guys!"

HOLLEY

"Hello, Mater. It's so nice to see you again."

MATER

"What're you doing here?"

FINN

"Our satellites picked up an urgent communique."

NICK

"And we thought we need a little break so we decided to stay here for a while Mate."

LUIGI

"So, you got my e-mail."

MATER

"Oh, man. Y'all is gonna have a great time. Everybody! This here's Finn McMissile. He's a secret agent.

(WHISPERS)

Don't tell nobody. And this is Holley Shiftwell. She's ---"

HOLLEY

"I'm Mater's girlfriend. It's so nice to meet you all."

Everyone is shocked. Including Mater. Guido's jaw drops.

LUIGI

(TO MATER)

"Guido believe you now."

FLO

(TO HOLLEY)

"Whoa, honey. You got a nasty dent there."

Indeed, Holley still wears the dent from when she saved Mater from Grem and Acer.

VAN

(Already crushing on her)

"Was that from when you swooped in and saved them in London?"

MINNY

"Van!"

VAN

"What? I'm just asking."

FLO

(TO HOLLEY)

"Don't you worry, sweet pea. My baby Ramone can get that fixed up for you in no time."

RAMONE

"Yeah, sure thing. No problemo. Just let me go get my tools."

HOLLEY

"Oh no, no. I'm keeping that dent. It's way too valuable."

Mater takes this in.

LIZZIE

"A "valuable" dent? Oh, she's as crazy as Mater."

MACK

"Those two are perfect for each other."

KENJI

"Definably, Perfect."

MCQUEEN

"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..."

MATER

"Explode in a fiery inferno?"

MCQUEEN

"Yeah."

FINN

"We couldn't figure that one out either."

JUDY

"And according to LPD and ZPD investigation proved that Allinol was actually gasoline. And Miles Axlerod engineered it so that when it got hit by the beam it would explode."

MCQUEEN

"Wait a second. Fillmore, you said my fuel was safe."

McQueen turns to Fillmore. Everyone does.

FILLMORE

"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.

(RE: SARGE)

It was him."

SARGE

"Once Big Oil, always Big Oil. Man."

FILLMORE

"Tree hugger."
