Sterling:
Cruz!...I knew you had something, and now look at you. A winner. I could use you as a racer on our team. We could —

Cruz:
Sorry, Mr. Sterling. I would never race for you. I quit.

Tex:
[honks as he and Strip Weathers drive up] Well then, race for me!

Lightning:
Tex!

Tex:
Miss Cruz, I would be tickled pink to have you race for Team Dinoco. As you know, we have a long history of great racers... 'cept for Cal.

Cal:
[peeking out] Uh, guys? I'm still right here!

Lightning:
Team Dinoco, Cruz!

Sterling:
[mumbling sarcastically] Hire her. I don't care. Lightning, now that you're retired, I need you first thing Monday morning for a photo shoot.

Lightning:
[sadly] Yeah, alright, Mr. Sterling.

Smokey:
Whoa! Hang on, now!

[The winner board is updated to show both Cruz and Lightning won as #1; the crowds cheer]

Lightning:
What? Why is my name up there?

Smokey:
You started the race, that's how it works.

Sterling:
Wait, wait, now, wait a minute... no!

Sally:
Uh... Lightning wins, he decides when he's done racing. That was the deal. Hi, I'm his lawyer.

Mater:
[singsonging] That was the deal! You are not a nice guy! But seriously, I gotta say you do make a quality mudflap on an affordable price.

Tex:
Ahem! Hey, Sterling, why don't you and I take a drive and talk? [escorts Sterling away as they drive] Billionaire to billionaire...

[The press starts surrounding Cruz as Lightning looks on happily]

Lightning:
Kid's got a lot of stuff...eh, Doc?

Sally:
[driving up to Lighting] Well, she had a great teacher. [pause] And now, you get to decide when you're done racing. So what's it gonna be, Stinky...uh, Stickers?

[Pause, Lightning smiles]

Lightning:
[chuckling confidently] Oh, I'm gonna keep racing. But before that, I had something I wanna do...
