A scene from Cars 2 2011
Holley

Mater, we got to get that bomb off of you.

Lightning

Bomb?

Mater

Yeah, they strapped it to me to kill you as a back-up plan.

Lightning

Back-up plan? Mater, who put a bomb on you?

Prof. Z

[tied up]

You! Why my death ray didn't kill you?!

Lightning

Death ray?!

Finn

Turn off the bomb, Zündapp!

Prof. Z

Are you all so dense? It's voice-activated. Everything is voice-activated these days.

Mater

Deactivate! Deactivate!

Bomb Computer

Voice denied. [a bomb starts a countdown mechanism from 4:59 to 4:58 to 4:57; Mater gasps in shock.]

Mater

Huh!

Prof. Z

Oops. Did I forget to mention that it can only be disarmed by the one who activated it?

Holley

[shoves her stun gun]

Say it.

Prof. Z

Deactivate.

Bomb Computer

Voice denied. [the bomb lowers down from 4:48 to 3:48 to 3:47; Mater gasps.]

Prof. Z

Oh. I'm not the one who activated it. Would anyone else like to try? [Shiftwell zaps him]

Finn

You read my mind.

Holley

He was getting on my nerves.

Lightning

What do we do?

Victor

It’s very simple. You blow up.

Lightning

I’m going out on a limb here. These are the guys that want me dead, correct?

Vladimir

It’s nothing personal.

Mater

Fellers, listen. I know what you’re going through. Everybody's been laughing at me my whole life too. [the Lemons seem to take this in] But becoming powerful and rich beyond your wildest dreams ain't gonna make you feel better.

J. Curby

Yeah, but it’s worth a shot!
[Suddenly, from behind them, Red shoots water at the Gremlins, with Sally joining him, causing them to overturn and flip, with J. Curby landing on his front behind a metal fence. Finn uses his grappling hooks to move up into the air and pull four lemons towards each other, while Holley uses her wings to carry two other thugs and make them hit a few others. Two of the lemons try to take part, but then Guido takes off their tires]

Guido

Pit stop.

Sheriff

[Flo also arrives, shining her headlights into Vladimir's eyes, making enough time for Sheriff to put a parking boot on Vladimir's left rear tire]

Not today, boys!
[Vladimir tries to move, but gives up when he is unable to move with the parking boot on. Guido then moves away another thug, yelling in Italian. Ivan tries to ram into McQueen, but Mater defends, punching him away as well as a couple more of the lemons and human thugs, and yells as he uses his tow hook to throw Tubbs Pacer towards Ramone, who sprays paint over his eyes. He then sees Finn, Mater, McQueen, Holley, and the other Radiator Springs residents are all watching angrily at him and the other lemons]

Tubbs Pacer

Retreat! [flees along with the remaining thugs, but immediately finds Sarge and the army confronting them]

Sarge

Thanks for the help, Corporal.

Military Car

Anything for one of Pop's mates.

Lightning

[Guido tries to remove the bolts off the bomb, but none of them work. He rants angrily in Italian and drives off.]

What’s he saying? What’s wrong?

Luigi

None of his wrenches fit the bolts!

Mater

I get it. I get it! I know what needs to be done.

Lightning

Then do it.

Mater

What? No, I can’t do it. Look, nobody takes me seriously. I know that now. This ain’t Radiator Springs.

Lightning

Yes, it is. Be yourself in Radiator Springs. Be yourself here. And if-if people aren't taking you seriously, then they need to change, not you. I know that because I was wrong before. Now, you can do this. You're the bomb.

Mater

Thanks, buddy.

Lightning

No, no, no, you're the actual bomb. Now let's go!

Mater

Oh, right! Hang on! [hooks up to McQueen, and drives off]

Finn

Where's he going?

Mater

[as he drives through the traffic]

Computer!

Mater's Computer

Yes, Agent Mater?

Mater

I need that thing you done before to get me away from McQueen!

Mater's Computer

Request acknowledged. [brings out Mater's rockets and activates him]

Lightning

Mater?

Mater

Now I need you to do shoot! The second kind, not the first!

Mater’s Computer

Deploying chute. [brings out the chute; Mater and McQueen soar up in the sky]
