Team Hot Wheels: The Origin of Awesome!

(2014)

(EAGLE CRIES)
-Hmm ...
-(DISTANT RUMBLING)
Eh?
Huh?
(ROARS)
(SCREAMING)
-Morning.
-Morning.
-Morning.
-Morning.
LINCOLN: F orescore.
GAGE: Muffler.
RHETT: Muffler!
-Wrench.
-Wrench!
-Tire.
-Tire!
-Stopwatch.
-Stopwatch!

ast. But not fast enough.

Is anything ever fast enough for you, Gage?
You know, buddy, sometimes,
you got to slow down to enjoy life, man.
1

"Slow"? (SCOFFS)
Never heard of it.
Man, Larry's gonna love
what we did with our go-karts.
You sure about that?
-Hiya, boss!
-'Sup, Larry!
If you boys are fixing to drive these things,
we got to do a go-kart safety check!
-Did you tighten the lug nuts?
-BOTH: Yep!
-Did you check the oil?
-BOTH: Yep!
Did you prime the perilous piston
pro-tire power pump?
BOTH: Yeah ... Uh ...
Larry, did you just make that up?
Yep! (LAUGHING)
Sorry, boys. Sometimes my imagination
gets me into trouble.
And don't you forget it!
Who's he talking to?
I have no idea.
Yup, these go-karts are looking real cool!
WYATT: Did somebody say cool?
Whoo-hoo! Yeah!
2

That right there is gonna be July

on Wyatt's calendar of moi.
Brandon! Did you get the shot?
Yup, from every angle.
So who wants to buy a moi calendar?
.I'll buy them all
):( if you promise not to make any more.
You ready to ride, Gage?
I'm always ready, Wyatt.
Oh, yeah?
Well, I was born ready, Gage.
'/--.. Oh, yeah? Well, I was born readier, Wyatt.

Oh, yeah? Well, uh ...

Stop saying my name so much, Gage.
Enough jibber-jabber!
All you two do is argue!
Imagine what you could do
if you worked together.

f-...

Like me and Rollie!

Sure, we have our differences.
For one, he's a dog.
And two, he's got wheels for feet.

'/ZBut in the end, we put them aside!

Isn't that right, boy?
(GROWLING)
-(WHIMPERS)
3

{ -(LAUGHING)
Good boy!
All right. You boys have a blast out there!
Someone's gotta spice up this town.
Hilly Woodlands needs way more than spice.
The odds of there being
a more boring place on Earth are .. .
(DEVICE PINGS)
.. .zero in a million.
Maybe our town's
not the most exciting place in the world,
but it gets just a little bit better
every time we ride.
Brandon, did you put up
your ultra hi-tech roadblock device again?
Uh .. .
-(HORNS HONKING)
-(PEOPLE CLAMORING)
Yeah.
Then let's ride!
Have fun, boys.
Got a feeling you will. (SNICKERING)
Out of the fast lane!
Om. Be the go-kart.
Om. Be the left turn.
Om. Be the feet.

BRANDON: Aqua-wheels, engage!

Wyatt-style detour, baby!
Yee-haw!
Yoo-hoo!
Wyatt, honey!
Hi, Gammy Gram!
I love you, Gammy Gram!
Gammy Gram loves you, too!
(LAUGHING)
Hey, nobody laughs at my Gammy Gram!
Look out!
(COUGHING)
Hmph!
Way to make us crash, Wyatt!
You watch your mouth, Gage!
I'm the best driver in this here town!
(BOTH ARGUING)
There they go again.
I know, right?
If only Wyatt could admit
that Gage is a better driver.
(CHUCKLES)
No, statistically, Wyatt is clearly better.
-Gage!
-Wyatt!
(ALL ARGUING)
5

Something awesome this way comes.

(COUGHING)
(CREAKING)
Did you see him? Did you see Rev?
-Rev?
-Who's Rev?
-How'd he do this?
-Get in!
There's no time to waste,
except for about, uh, seven seconds!
(TICKING)
Okay, now there's really no time to waste.
Come on, come on.
Get inside! Get inside!
(SNORING)
Larry, what's going on? Who's Rev?
And how does he make that Orange Track?
And when is he gonna make more?
And why do you have so many locks?
Oh.
I'll tell you. Rev.
Rev was my protg!
(ALL GASP)
Dude, what's a protg?
He used to work at the garage,
just like you boys.
6

And you know that sweet car

he's driving around?
Well, it's my sweet car!
And it's got a very special engine.
An engine that poops out Orange Track?
It poops out more than that.

Look!
We're reporting live from Hilly Woodlands
where things have gone absolutely crazy!
There's a giant pigeon terrorizing the school!
(ALL GASP)
Oh, no! The giant pigeon
is now eating people!
Oh, the humanity!
-Hey, they're okay.
-(PIGEON FARTS)
-(ALL GASP)
-ELLIOT: Ooh, never mind.
Well, things aren't any better
over here, Elliot!
The mini-putt is in the midst
of a volcanic eruption ...
(SCREAMS)
Forescore!
Get your paws off me, you brute!
I voted for you!
7

GammyGram!
FEMALE NEWS REPORTER:
Elliot, I can now confirm
that, yes, there is a giant Abraham Lincoln
making a log cabin out of old people!
-Oh, no!
-My back!
We gotta stop this!
Sadly, there's nothing we can do
about the damage already caused,
the havoc already wreaked,
or the underpants already wetted.
Not even yours, Rhett.
(GULPS) How did you know?
All you can do now is stop Rev.
Uh, Larry? By "you," do you mean us?
Of course I mean you!
And I'm about to show you how.
(ALL SCREAMING)
Now let's see. Which one is it?
No. No.
Hmm-mmm.
Ah-ha!
Now, it goes without saying
that you can never speak of this to anyone.
Because I do have the technology
8

to erase your brains completely!

Nah, I'm messing with you.
(LAUGIDNG)
(RELIEVED SIGHS)
But I do know a guy.
(ALARM BLARING)
Behold!
The automotive playground of your dreams!
(BOYS EXCLAIMING)
In here, we can create
anything we can imagine!
From supercharged jet engine cars,
to super-duper charged rocket fuel cars,
to miles of twisty, loopy,
corkscrewy Orange Track!
And if that's not enough for you,
feel free to relax and rejuvenate
in our full-service automotive spa,
complete with aromatherapy treatments.
Hello. My name is (STAMMERS) Jerry.
'would you like a refreshment?
Yes, thank you, (STAMMERS) Jerry.
(LAUGHING)
Sorry, Rhett.
Jerry's an older invention of mine,
so he's a little buggy.
9

Now, most of the stuff! created

is pretty awesome.
But, in the wrong hands,
some of my inventions
can be very dangerous!
Like my greatest creation of all,
the Cloud Engine,
which runs on liquid imagination.
Larry, that is so not possible.
Neither is this.
You see, my Cloud Engine
creates the most perfect
racing surface known to man.
Sleek Orange Track!
But if the wrong mind wields that power...
Well, you saw the pigeons.
So this Cloud Engine
can make giant mutant pigeons, and ...
Awesome orange race track?
That's right.
But then Rev stole my Cloud Engine.
Now he's going around
maginating anything he pleases.
Imagi ... What now?
Imaginating. Verb, meaning "to imaginate."
I got an A+ in made-up words class.
10

So how do we stop the, uh,

imagi-junk that hurts Gammy Gram?
But keep the awesome Orange Track?
We have only one hope of stopping Rev.
And it's this!
The Hydrator Ray!
Powered just like the Cloud Engine.
But what's it do?
Jerry, bring in the go-karts!
-Thanks, Jerry!
-Beverage.
That's Jerry for you.
Okay, contestants,
who's ready for the big prize?
So, what do you think?
LAUGHING)
Suit up, boys, 'cause playtime is over!
I don't want no joyriding,
drag racing, lowriding,
or taking the chickies to make-out point.
Little help.
LARRY: Separate,
you are four seriously skilled racers.
But together, you're Team ...
Oh, I forgot to come up with a team name.
What about Team Wyatt Wheels?
11

No, no! Team Lotus Wheels!

Team Butt Kicking Butt Kickers ... Wheels!
GAGE: I got it.
Team Hot Wheels.
ALL: Yeah.
LARRY: Like I was saying,
separate, you're four seriously skilled racers.
But together you're Team Hot Wheels!
Now go get the bad guy!
Twin Mill is set for speed.
Jump Truck is ready to bounce!
Quick N' Sik is online.
Bone Shaker is single and ready to mingle.
Come on, guys,
does every awesome suit-up sequence
have to be so cool?
Wyatt, you and Brandon
settle the score with Lincoln.
Rhett and I are gonna
pigeonhole that big bird.
BRANDON: Sweet!
RHETT: Gage, look! That giant pigeon's
making a bird feeder out of the school!
We gotta save those kids!
-Help!
-Help us!
12

Watch my back, I'm going in.

Know why they call it the Twin Mill?
'Cause it's got a one-two
punch!
(COOING)
Egg-coming!
. Okay, I'll save Gammy Gram,
you save everyone else!
A fair deal as always.
Securing coordinates, helpless old people.
ALL: Help!
Initiating le Vacu-suck.
Help! Help! Save Gammy Gram!
I got you, Gammy!
(STRAINING)
Oh!
Forescore!
My eye!
Oh, thank you for saving me,
anonymous masked hero
the height and shape of my grandson.
You're welcome, Gammy, uh ...
I mean, Old-Lady-who-I-don't-know.
(CAR ENGINE REVVING)
Rev, you're mine.
Oh, no, you don't, Wyatt.
13

Gage, wait for me!

(EXCLAIMS)
My baby!
A pigeon ate my baby!
Uh-oh.
Okay, I'll get in front and slow him down.
You make sure he doesn't. ..
No, I'll get in front!
GAGE: Watch out!
WYATT: We'll never catch him now.
We need a miracle.
RHETT: Did someone say "miracle"?
Yeah!
Bombs away, buddy!
(SCREAMING)
Let's see how tough you are outside your car.
BRANDON: Gage! Help!
I can't shake Lincoln.
He keeps turning up like a bad, bad penny.
Hang on, buddy. I'll distract him.
Hey, stovetop!
Fore score! Fore score! F orescore!
(TIRES SCREECHING)
Okay, now let's see who you really are.
WYATT: Gage!
Help!
14

Forescore!
(EXCLAIMING)
Watch the face.
(EXCLAIMING)
Gage! Help!
RHETT: I got you!
(TIRES SCREECHING)
(ENGINE RUMBLING)
(SCREAMS)
(STRAINING)
(CHOKING)
I thought we'd be shark bait for sure.
(ALL SIGH)
Guys, check it out.
I think we got him!
RHETT: Aw, he looks like a turtle
stuck on his back.
Yee-haw! I'm a hero!
We're all heroes!
-Yeah!
-Brandon likey!
Oh, Larry's gonna flip
when he hears we caught Rev.
(ALL GROAN)
Rev, we hardly knew ye.
(ALL GASP)
15

Well, looks like we aren't finished yet.

Let's get the varmint!
Come on, team, let's roll!
And Larry's gonna kill us.
Are you sure about that?
-Larry!
-Larry!
(LAUGHS) You boys crashed up
these cars real good.
(STAMMERING) Wait, you're not mad?
No, everybody knows
you've got to break an omelet
to make a few eggs.
Wait, what?
You done good, boys.
You almost got Rev.
Now, come on,
let's get these cars hitched up and fixed up.
We'll try again first thing in the morning.
I'll make you a frittata.
ALL: Ooh!
What's a frittata?
Oh, forescore.
(CROWING)
GAGE: Gentlemen, start your mornings.
(BURPS)
16

New record, but I can be faster.

Now to head over to Larry's
in the old Twin Mill and, uh ...
Oh.
Oh, yes, Mr. Eisenhower! (SNORES)
I'd love to be your date to the White House.
Come on!
I'm coming! I'm coming!
RHETT: Om, become one with nature.
Om, I am a tree.
Om, feel the wind within my leaves,
which is actually my hair.
Om, nothing is going to stop
this awesome tranquility I feel.
(CELL PHONE RINGING)
(SCREAMS)
(CLATTERING)
(GROANS)
Being a tree is for the birds.
Sorry, Rhett, don't be mad.
I got a text from Larry and ...
Whoa! Now wait just a minute, Gage!
Larry can text?
Careful, Rhett, runaway mower.
(BEEPING)
Brandon! Larry needs us, fast!
17

Just a minute, guys.

I'm virtually done with my chores.
And get this, Larry can text!
Whoa, whoa, whoa. Wait!
Larry can text?
We got to be careful, guys.
'Cause next thing we know,
he's gonna want to be
Facepage friends with us.
-Uh .. .
-Ooh. Uh ...
(STAMMERING) Can I use your laptop?
(LOW) I have some pictures to un-tag.
Whoo-hoo!
Ride 'em, Gecko!
Yee-haw!
Now that, my friends, is a little thing
I like to call Wyatt-style, baby.
-(CARNIVALESQUE MUSIC PLAYING)
-Yee ... (SCREAMS)
(GROANING) My beautiful face.
Wyatt, we got a text from Larry.
We've got to get to the garage!
Now hold on just a minute!
Larry can text?
You think he'll teach me?
18

LARRY: I know you tried your best, guys.

But I told you it wouldn't be easy.
Why are we even trying to stop Rev, anyway?
From what I've seen so far,
he seems pretty cool.
You say the same thing about beef jerky.
So what if I do, huh?
Wyatt, you know why we're trying to stop Rev.
How quickly you forget about Gammy Gram.
There are other Gammy Grams out there, too!
Oh, I do love my Gammy Grams!
You boys need to learn to work together.
Allow me to explain why,
using this conveniently placed
-Dude, what's a slide show?
-I don't know.
I think I heard about it in history class once.
Now, you gotta understand what'll happen
if Rev's chaos goes unchecked.
ALL: Sweet!
Sure, it may seem great at first.
But then!
ALL: (EXCLAIMING) Why?
I always knew bunnies were evil.
You see?
With my Cloud Engine in the wrong hands,
19

it could create all sorts of devastation.

Why'd you even make it then?
The Cloud Engine
was supposed to do one thing.
Turn normal roads
into that glorious Orange Track.
But little did I know there'd be more than
just roads getting all imaginated!
So anything can become,
how did you put it, "imaginated"?
As long as it doesn't
have an imagination of its own.
So, don't worry, none of you will tum into
a giant Abe Lincoln anytime soon.
Oh ...
But who knows for sure?
Because once imagination is unleashed,
anything can happen.
Even this!
(BOYS SCREAMING)
Oops. (CHUCKLES)
Wrong slide.
I mean, this!
(SCREAMING)
So you've got to stop Rev
if Hot Wheels City has any hope.
20

And the only way you'll stop Rev

is by working as a team.
And no team can go out and fight
without having a complete breakfast.
Jerry?
Cereal, toast, waffle.
Beverage.
All part of a nutritious breakfast.
Really? Really? Still with that?
(SLURPING)
Ah.
I'm full already.
Now suit up real quick.
Really?
Really? Still with this?
(LAUGHING)
Now, that's what I'm talking about!
You look like a team.
A team who's ready to save this town
from mass destruction.
Just make sure you act like a team, too.
It's all about teamwork.
In fact, you should tattoo that word
on the back of your eyelids.
And what if there are already
bearded mermaids tattooed there?
21

Maybe I can fit it under the anchor.

Okay, guys, listen up now.
I'm about to get serious.
Serious.
Those badges on your chest
represent Team Hot Wheels.
And without the "team" part,
all we have is empty cars.
We need you,
because there's not a single person
on the planet Earth
who can stop Rev.
But there are four people who can!
Who?
Now go get that bad guy. Quickly.
Twin Mill is set for speed.
Jump Truck is ready to bounce!
Quick N' Sik is online!
Bone Shaker is ... Ah, let's just go.
Good luck, boys!
You're on your own now,
and don't you forget it!
GAGE: Okay, team, we need a plan.
Yeah, I don't do "plans."
Whoa. Come on, Wyatt!
There is no "I" in team.
22

No but there's an "M" and an "E "

'

'

and that spells

Wyatt-style, baby! Whoo-hoo!
-Uh, no, it doesn't.
-Yes, it does.
No, it doesn't!
Yes, it does!
Guys, guys, have you already
forgotten what Larry said?
(ENGINE RUMBLING)
Do you guys hear that? It's Rev.
Guys, brace yourself for impact.
-Everybody, follow me!
-Everybody, follow me!
Does anybody know a good plumber?
My cousin Billy's a plumber.
Hey, I thought your cousin
Billy was a gator whisperer.
No, man, that's my cousin Billy number five.
Cousin Billy number three ...
Enough already!
Let's get unstuck, go two by two,
and catch Rev.
(TIRES SCREECHING)
Oh, boy, I can't wait to eat this sandwich.
Whoa!
23

(EXCLAIMS)
Oh.
(EXCLAIMS)
(GROANS)
(CHUCKLING) We're gaining on him.
Let's turbo boost.
BOTH: Whoa!
GAGE: Huh?
What's he doing?
Is he skywriting?
Maybe he's proposing to Mrs. Rev.
Guys! Maybe he is Mrs. Rev.
That's ridiculous, Rhett.
What? I think Rev is a really pretty name.
WITATT: Whatisthatthing?
It's like a ...
BOTH: Super Loop!
Did y'all just see that,
or have I gone whack-a-billy?
He's daring us to chase him.
I vote for chasing him!
I vote for sobbing quietly in fear.
That is physically impossible.
Sobbing quietly? I'm doing it right now.
(MOCK SOBBING)
No, I mean getting across that gorge.
24

' It's scientifically impossible.

We can clear it if we go fast enough.
You know my motto,
"It always comes down to speed."
I thought your motto was,
"It always comes down to waffles."
(STAMMERING) That's my other motto.
Brandon, you must know a way
to get through that loop.
~ Well, there is one way we might clear it.
'

But the scientific odds of it working

are slim to zip. oJcs._ 8 ~ 1

t_q;(-fd_;
~ .., <...- 0..;:. .
Bring it on, science!
~'ll

take you down!

Initiating autopilot.
Brandon likey!
What are you doing up there?
Listen up, guys.
We've got to drive in a perfect formation.
It's called drafting,
and it's our only shot at catching up to Rev.
We're gonna need skills,
precision and teamwork.
Oh, sorry. I stopped listening
after you said, "Listen up, guys."
Teamwork, we need it.
25

That's the short version, Wyatt.

Hey! How come you're first in line?
(SING-SONG VOICE) Uh-uh-uh.
That's not very teamworky, Wyatt.
Wyatt, I'm leading because I did
the mind-numbing calculations.
You wanna recheck my math?
Nah, just go first already, will you?
BRANDON: Whatever happens,
stay in this precise formation.
We need to work together, or we'll fail.
Three,
two,
one,
go!
Stay in the formation!
I'm trying, buddies!
Good work, team. That's one.
Steady. Maintain speed.
That's it, guys! Stay together!
Not so fast, Gage!
Hey, what's your problem, Wyatt?
You are, Gage!
-You're not gonna beat me!
-You're not gonna beat me!
BRANDON: No!
26

The formation!
WYATT: We'll make it! With Wyatt...
(ALL SCREAMING)
BRANDON: Look out!
(COUGHING)
WYATT: Hey, where's my tires?
(EXCLAIMING)
That's three. But I had ...
... four.
(SOBS)
So much for your Wyatt-style, Wyatt.
Do not smack-talk Wyatt-style, Gage.
Can I smack-talk your driving styles, Wyatt?
You're the one that just had to go faster,
didn't you, Gage?
Enough!
This negative energy
is seriously harshing my chi!
You both did this!
Your feet hit the pedal at the exact same time!
Everybody saw the split-screen.
Rhett's right.
It was simultaneous drafting fail.
Come on, guys, we're better than this.
1... I think.

Men, we're supposed to be a team!

27

That's why we're called Team Hot Wheels,

and not. ..
Something Else Hot Wheels, okay?
Just look at our town, guys.
It used to be the cutting edge

of boring boringness,
and now it's sweet.
And ours to enjoy if we can make sure
some psycho driver doesn't destroy us all.
And I, for one, refuse to let that happen.
So, for that reason,
I want you both to hug it out.

And I want a real hug,

meaning nine whole seconds of snuggling.
(LOW) Just so you know,
this hug means nothing to me, Gage.
Oh. Are we hugging?
I didn't even realize it, Wyatt.

Ah ...
The power of friendship.
Larry, you in there?
-Jerry! Bring water!
-Yo, Larry!
I'm sweaty.
-He's not here.
-He's not here either.
28

He's not under the couch.

GAGE: I guess Larry's not here.
But why would he just leave out of nowhere?
It doesn't make any sense.

And he won't even text us back?

We know you can text, Larry!
Man, of all the times for Larry to disappear,
it's gotta be when we need him
to use that zapper thing!
There's only one thing we can do.
Get into the test facility, rehydrate our cars,
and find a way to go faster than Rev.
You mean a way to stop Rev, Gage.
We can't catch him
unless we can catch up to him.
It always comes down to speed, Wyatt.

Gage!
Wyatt!
Guys, remember the golden rule
of friendship.
Yeah, yeah. I get it, I get it.
(ALL SCREAMING)
(RHETT GROANING)
Does this couch come with a barf bag?
(BURPS)
Oh, we don't have a key.
29

Om. You must read the signs

in your life, Brandon.
Like this one.
Welcomay.
Okay, guys, let's split up
and look for a light switch.
(ALL GASP)
How about we stick together
and huddle in fear?
There's nothing to be scared of.
(CHUCKLES NERVOUSLY)
Yeah, totally.
I mean, none of us
are extremely terrified right now.
Clearly.
(STAMMERING) Not scared.
Me either.
-(STAMMERING)
-(SCREAMING)
(STAMMERING) Would you like a...
... drink?
No, thanks, Jerry.
Beverage.
I am going to get that robot.
Here, this will help you see better
while you snoop around the lab.
30

(ALL EXCLAIMING)
BRANDON: So beautiful!
Well, a second pizza buffet
would've been nice,
but I guess this lab looks pretty cool.
Did someone say "lab"?
This is no lab.
This is Brandon's dream house.
How come Larry didn't show us this stuff?
And why does he have
a library of animal DNA?
Bear DNA, pig DNA, shark DNA, cheetah DNA.
Ooh! Bunny DNA!
Wait, wait, wait.
Did you say cheetah DNA?
That's right. Bunny DNA!
Yeah. That's great, Rhett.
Guys, I know how we're gonna catch Rev.
Cheetahs are the fastest land animal,
with a natural instinct for speed.
I can use this DNA
to create fuel infused with cheetah power.
Oh, Jerry!
Would someone like a beverage?
Not exactly.
BOTH: Cheetah fuel.
31
