Transcript: CRUZ: It's not easy for him. STERLING: Cruz, just relax. -Give him another chance. -STERLING: I will talk to him. Elizabeth: Talk To Him What? CRUZ: I can still work with him. STERLING: I know he's your project. -CRUZ: Are you sure? -Cruz. -CRUZ: Well, can't you just-- -Cruz. CRUZ: It's not easy for him. STERLING: Look, I'm tryin' to help you. McQUEEN: Whoa. Me: Uh? You're all warshed up, McQueen. (STUTTERS) I'm sorry. What? I said, the floor's all washed up and clean. Oh, right. (CHUCKLES) -STERLING: Thank you very much. -Uh... Good luck. Talking Tom: What did He Said? Elizabeth: (Sighs) STERLING: Hey, Lightning. Come on in. Got somethin' to show you. You ready? Uh, for what? Wow. You are about to become the biggest brand in racin'. We are talkin' saturation on all continents for every demographic. Movie deals, infomercials, product endorsements. -McQUEEN: Mudflaps? -Of course. We'll be rich beyond belief. You think you're famous now? -(LAUGHS) -(CHUCKLES SHEEPISHLY) I thought you'd be mad about the simulator. I mean, this is all great, Mr. Sterling, I guess, but I don't know. I've never really thought of myself as a board. Oh, nor do I. I'm a fan. Maybe your most avid. I think of this as your legacy! (CHUCKLES NERVOUSLY) It sounds like something that happens after you're done racin'. Sonic: What Is It? Mr. Sterling, what is this about? Look, Lightning. i'm not gonna race you. Me: WHAT?! What What do ya mean not race me? -Hold on. Hold on. -I'm not going to Florida? You have no idea how excited I was to get you here because... I knew you'd be back. It was gonna be the comeback story of the year! But your speed and performance just aren't where they need to be. I'm sorry. We're talkin' about speed on a simulator!. -Listen to how crazy that sounds. -Look, I'm tryin' to help you. As your sponsor, yes, but also as your friend. Your racin' days are coming to an end. Every time you lose, you damage yourself. Damage the brand, you mean? SMG4: Yeah, He's Right Oh, Lightnin', come on. You've done the work. Now move on to the next phase and reap the reward. The racin' is the reward. Now the stuff. I don't wanna cash in. I wanna feel the rush of moving 200 miles an hour... inches from the other guys, pushin' by myself faster than I thought I could go! That's the reward, Mr. Sterling! Oh, Lightnin', come on. Me: Listen Here, I Was His Crew Chief since doc died and you're making him quit?! Look, I can do this. I can, I promise! I'll train like I did with Doc. I'll get my tires dirty on every dirt track from here to Florida. I can start on Fireball Beach where all the old greats used to race. Get your tires dirty. That's how you're gonna get faster then Storm? Yes! Exactly! I mean, sacred dirt right? Talking Ben: He is Right Mr. Sterling, if you care about my legacy, the one that Doc started, you'll let me do this. I promise ya, I will win. (SIGHS) I don't know. What you're askin', it's too risky. Come on. You like it, I can tell. It's got that little "comeback story of the year" feel to it, doesn't it? (SIGHS) One race? If you don't win at Florida, you'll retire? Look, if I don't win I'll sell the mudflaps you got. But if I do win, I decide when I'm done. Deal? Deal. Thank you, Mr. Sterling. You won't be sorry. Just one thing and this is only because I don't like taking chances. You're taking someone with you. Me: What?
I DON'T OWN ANYTHING!!!!!!
