[The screen shows Radiator Cap Mountain and Cadillac Range the next morning, as the same reveille Sarge uses is heard playing. It is again interrupted by Fillmore playing "The Star-Strangled Banner".]

Sarge: Will you turn that disrespectful junk off?!

Fillmore: Respect the classics, man.

[The screen then shows Mater sleeping and snores in his house, shown to be drooling oil. He then snorts and putters as he wakes up, groans as he stretches himself. Mater smacks and sighs. Mater then drives to the main road, where he notices that it has been completed and there is no sign of McQueen and Maddie. Mater, Olivia, and Doc are then shown driving to the end of the paving.]

Tow Mater: They're done. They must've finished it while we was all sleepin'.

Doc Hudson: Good riddance. [Doc and Olivia then drives away as the other residents arrive at the same scene. Ramone has a red paint job.]

Flo: They're gone?

Sarge: Well, we wouldn't want them to miss that race of theirs. [Sally and Pippa drive away.]

Sheriff: [sniffs]

Ramone: Oh, dude, are you crying?

Sheriff: NO! I'M HAPPY! I DON'T HAVE TO WATCH THEM EVERY SECOND OF THE DAY ANYMORE! I'M GLAD THEY'RE GONE!

Red: [blubbers, then sobs and drives away, again knocking down that same pile of tires at that corner of the impound. Just then, McQueen and Maddie show up.]

Lightning McQueen: What's wrong with Red?

Tow Mater: [not realizing who he's talking to] Oh, he's just sad 'cause you two left town, and went to both of your big race to win the Piston Cup that you two have always dreamed about yer whole lives and get that big ol' sponsor and that fancy helicopter you two was talking about. [As he talks, the other residents then notice our heroes, looking glad. After finishing his quote, Mater stares at McQueen and Maddie as they are grinning. Mater gasps as he realizes who he was talking to] Wait a minute! [Mater laughs and smacks McQueen and Maddie with his tire] I knowed you two wouldn't leave without saying goodbye.

Maddie McWilliams: [chuckles]

Sheriff: What are you two doing here, son and daughter? You two are gonna miss both of your race. [turns on his emergency lighting] Don't worry. I'll give you two a police escort, and we'll make up the time.

Lightning McQueen: Thank you, Sheriff. But you know we can't go just yet.

Sheriff: Well, why not?

Maddie McWilliams: We're not sure these tires... [Luigi gasps excitedly] ...can get us all the way to California. [Guido: Pit stop?!] Yeah, does anybody know what time Luigi's opens?

Luigi: [laughing] I can't-a believe it!
