So, how long till it's ready?

About an hour.
-Oh, man!
-A whole hour?
Do I look like a wizard?
If you want your cheetah fuel, I need an hour.
With Rhett's help, maybe less.
Then again, maybe more.
How about you guys
go keep an eye out for Rev?
Unless you think you can't work together?
I can work together way better than Gage.
Well, I can work together
faster than you, Wyatt.
Yeah, right!
I work together so good, I could do it solo.
Oh, yeah?
I'll already have been working together
for five minutes by the time you get there.
Hey, what about some turtle DNA, huh?
o offense, but turtle DNA
pretty much the worst DNA.
Not true!
Turtles win races, you know.
What? You never read the story
of the turtle and the hare?
32

t The turtle wins.

And as for the hare,
turns out he was a ghost the whole time.
No, he wasn't.
Well, he should've been.
Okay, Rhett. He should have been a ghost.
Yeah, just like Little Red Riding Ghost,
Jack and the Bean-Ghost or Pinocha-Ghost.
Okay, let's start cooking with cheetah gas.
Okay, but whatever you do, be careful.
Of course I'll be careful.
(GLASS SHATTERING)
Starting now.
So, now what?
Simple. We rehydrate our cars.
I know that.
We re-migrate our cars
with Larry's zapper thing.
How hard could it be?
(PINGING, BEEPING)
ELECTRICAL VOICE: Clean up in aisle five .
-Nope! It's mine.
-Watch out!
I saw it first!
Hit that right there. Watch it.
(BOTH GRUNTING)
33

Uh-oh.
-Yeah! Teamwork!
-Yeah! Teamwork!
Wow.
These cars look better than ever.
Not yet!
She just don't look right
without a little bit of mud.
"Wash me."
Ha! You got burned, me!
(

Uh, yeah. Let's just go get Rev.

Boy, Hilly Woodlands sure has changed.
In a good way.
I guess we should get used to it.
There you are, Rev.
WYATT: Quick, follow the smoke.
No sign of Rev.
He can't be far. Smoke's still clearing.
(BOTH SCREAMING)
GAGE: I thought there was
no such thing as a bad pizza.
That's probably because
it's never been hand-tossed.
I prefer my pizza with no pepperoni.
Hurry up! It's gaining on us!
Wyatt, I got an idea. Get behind that thing!
34

How come I gotta be behind?

'Cause I thought of it first!
Just trust me on this one.
Fine!
I'm gonna hit the brakes. You ram him.
Oh, I get it.
One, two, three!
(TIRES SCREECHING)
WYATT: Order up!
It's always a tragedy
when a pizza goes uneaten.
And tragedy averted.
Let's go.
(CHOKING)
Om, om, om.
Let the revitalizing scent energize you.
(SNIFFING)
Your revitalizing scent
smells a lot like new-car smell.
Well, I'm just trying to cover up
your stinky cheetah fuel.
Hey! Whoa, whoa, whoa. Do not diss my gas.
All right, I'm just about ready
for a test run on these junk cars.
If it works, we can make
our cars unstoppable, unbeatable
35

and really, really neat.

I don't know.
Uncheetahble?
You know, because "cheetah"? Huh?
Yeah, yeah, "uncheetahble."
Just hand me the DNA, will ya?
Sweet! I get to do stuff.
Careful, Rhett!
What if that was the rack of DNA?
Huh? But that's over here.
(DISTORTED) No! The cheetah DNA!
(SCREAMING)
I didn't see them!
Aah! Save the DNA!
My shirt!
Science is supposed to be your friend!
(COUGHING)
Whoa! Cool! We cloned Wyatt and Gage!
Watch it, now! There's only one Wyatt, baby!
Relax, Rhett. We just got here.
And what are those?
Uh ...
-(HEARTBEATS)
-I have no idea.
Uh, me either.
I sure don't know anything about this at all.
36

Nope. No, sir.

Hey, where'd those junked cars go?

You promised us cheetah fuel,

but instead you give us gnarly cocoons?
Epic fail, muchachos.
So, no cheetah fuel?
Well, urn, there was an incident.
What kind of incident?
That kind of incident.
Guys, I don't think I'm allowed
to watch movies this scary!
WYATT: What have I done?
Rhett? Brandon?
I believe I owe you two an apology.

Because these are perfect.

For once I agree.
Rev can't possibly escape us ...
(SCREAMS)
They're trashing the place.
Larry's favorite couch.
And his favorite painting, the Mona Larry!
Looks like these critters
need to be housebroken.
Don't eat anything that says "Wyatt" on it!
Hey, get away from that fuse box.
I'm gonna need a bigger car.
37

{ I'm gonna make you proud, Grandpa.

And fishing!
I got a bite!
Time to reel her in ...
(GROANING)
Okay. That just happened.
So now, on top of Rev
being out there somewhere,
we gotta deal with four mutant animal cars?
What do we do?
, I vote for screaming.
I second that.
(ALL SCREAMING)
I say we make some more
animal monster cars!
There's only one kind of DNA left.
(GASPS)
Turtle DNA.
Oh, yeah, boy!
Turtle-Mobile!
Not gonna work. We need to go fast.
So let's go fast, quickly.
Curse my luxurious hair.
(ENGINES REVVING DISTANTLY)
If we're gonna hold hands,
you should at least buy me dinner!
38

(SOBBING)
Why? Why is this happening?
My favorite suit!
Please, get a hold of yourself, Mr. Mayor.
Oh, Barbara!
We were just getting used to the loops
and the giant pigeons.
And now this? (SOBS)
Whoever fixes this
shall have a grand parade in their honor!
And will get a lifetime supply of kettle corn!
WYATT: Keep a lid on
that kettle corn, Mayor.
Yeah, we'll stop those things.
Sure, as our name is Team .. .
They're headed underground .
.. .Hot Wheels.
If you've ever wondered what it's like
on the other side of the toilet,
we're about to find out.
To the sewer!
(UNENTHUSIASTICALLY) Yay!
BRANDON:
Well, it'll be tight,
but our cars will fit.
Making those turns is gonna be tough.
39

Not for those mutants,

considering how flexible they are.
We created this problem ourselves, guys.
And we've gotta fix it. Fast.
And once I catch them things,
I'm gonna make them my little pups.
Wyatt-style babies!
I wonder if it still stinks down here.
(SNIFFS) Ugh!
Yep. Still stinks.
GAGE: There's an exit valve
that spills into the desert.
According to my makeshift
mutant tracking device,
they should be just up ahead.
Let's kill the engines
so we don't give away our position.
All right, guys, let's be very quiet.
We'll sneak up on them
and we'll get them by surprise.
Now remember,
we're dealing with wild animals here, so ...
Come on! When are we gonna go?
' I got my eyes on Stingy.
The scorpion?
Can you imagine driving that thing?
40

It could take you out with one sting

whenever it pleases.
Now that is a thrill ride, baby!

Whoo-hoo!
(ECHOING)
-Wyatt, don't. ..
-Ha!

Echo!
(ECHOING)
Wyatt, no!
I love my Gammy Gram!
GAMMY GRAM: Gammy Gram loves you, too!
(DISTANT RUMBLING)
Whoa. What a strange echo.
Hey, you guys feel that?
I hope that's my stomach!
think we better get in our cars.
-ALL: Rats!
-Rats.
GAGE: We're trapped!
-Like rats?
-GAGE: Oh, come on.
WYATT: That's not funny.
BRANDON: I never liked you.
(SQUEAKING)
(WHOOPING)
41

I wonder what so many rats

would be running away from.
(DISTANT REVVING)

(TIRES SCREECHING)
GAGE: Hold.
Hold.
Hold.
Now!
MALE PILOT: Ladies and gentlemen,
this is your captain speaking.
If you look out the left side of the cabin,
you'll see four sweet cars
flying out of a sewer pipe.
ALL: Ooh!
MALE PILOT: And we are all
officially more awesome for having seen it.
(BOYS SCREAMING)
(ALL CHEERING)
-We did it!
-Yeah!
42

Guys, I think I lost their signal.

I definitely lost their signal.
They could be miles away by now.

I q (ALL SCREAMING)
I'd say let's go catch them,
{

but there's no way our tires

will get through this mud.
Hold that thought.
'Cause off-roading is Wyatt country, baby!
Whoo-hoo!
I'm coming for you, mutants!
And you're up next, Rev! You hear me?
There they are.
Yee-haw!
I'm coming for you, Stingy!
Come to Papa!
Gotcha.
O:ou're coming with me, Stingy.
Playing hard to get, are we?
Time to get up close and personal.
Trying to wat-oww me, huh?
I don't think so.
- 'N ARLING)
Try and swim away from that, shark!
You're next, croc-head.
Oh, don't feel left out, fishy.
43

And time.
Yee-haw!
Go, Wyatt!
RHETT: Yeah! That's you-style!
Now sit. That's a good mutant.
That's such a good mutant.
Now go on and play.
hey grow up so fast.
RHETT: Awesome job
taming those things, Wyatt.
They really are little pups.
Supremely awesome little pups.
BOTH:Aw...
Go fetch. Get it, boy. Go ahead.
Can we please just make
one more Mutant Machine?
Can it be a Turtle-Mobile?
We've been over this, Rhett.
Turtle DNA is the worst DNA.
Says you.
Go get it, boy.
Oh, man! My muscles sure are sore
from saving the day so awesomely.
Hopefully you saved enough energy for Rev.
Oh, I got plenty stored up.
Like a camel stores up water in its humps.
44

Except instead of water, I store awesome.

And instead of humps ...
Oh, yeah! Look at those puppies.
Look at them! Look!
I said, look at them!
Oh, you're all just jealous.
Rhett and Brandon and Rev and Gage ...
And Rev?
(HONKS)
Yee-haw!
I'm gonna save the day again!
(WHIMPERS)

(Get out your cameras, boys.

You're gonna want a picture when I bag Rev.
GAGE: I don't think so, Wyatt.
You may be the off-road king of the desert,
but on this track, I'm top dog.
You ain't top nothing.
I'm about to top you right now!
GAGE: Hey! Watch the paint, man!
Look, the stadium.
Let's fan out and force him inside.
We're gonna trap him.
Like a rat?
-Come on.
-Really?
45

It didn't work the first time.

Where do you think you're going, Rev?

The game just started.
Uh-uh-uh.
Hey, where's Wyatt?
Rev is gonna get away!
Yee-haw!
Gammy Gram always taught me
to be fashionably late.
ALL: He's mine!
Thought you had it, Rhett.
(COUGHS)
You said you had it, Brandon.
Guys, the last thing we should
do is start blaming each other.
What a convenient idea from
the very person who blew it.
Gage.
(GRUNTS)

(SIGHS)
Okay, let's just get back to the garage.
Hopefully, we can all cool off on the way.
Great. Now that we've all
had a chance to cool off...
I'm done cooling off! This is all your fault!
BOTH: There it is.
46

And now it's on.

(GRUNTS)
Ugh!
Hey, watch it.

Enguarday!
It's pronounced en garde.
I don't care about French.
(GRUNTING)
Would you like a (STAMMERING) beverage?
No, Jerry, but here's one for you!
(LAUGHING)
Got you, Robot! In your face!
What are you doing? He'll short out!
What? Are you scared he'll malfunction
and dump water on you?
Welcome to every day of my life!
(SPLUTTERING)
Welcome to every day of my life.
Noogie! (LAUGHS)
What is going on in here?
ALL: Larry.
I leave you boys alone for all of act two
and this is what I get?
You broke into my lab,
stole my precious collection of DNA,
and ruined Jerry.
47

Would you like a .. . (STAMMERING)

... meat loaf?

He's even buggier than before!

And we kind of, sort of, didn't catch Rev.
Oh, I know.
Even though I gave you every opportunity.
-Wait.
-What is he doing here?
Now before you go asking
a million questions, let me just say,
there is no Rev.
(ALL GASP)
Rev is just the name I gave to my sweet car.
And I use this to drive it.
Pretty cool invention, huh?
(CHUCKLES)
Whoa!
Wait. Hold on. Whoa. Wait a second.
What?
Larry, you made all this stuff happen?
But why?
What I really needed was to find
the next generation of fearless drivers.
Because there's a lot of bad guys
who'll stop at nothing
to steal my technology.
48

(STAMMERING)
Steal technology.
This phone controls
all the crazy stuffRev can do.
Imagine what would happen
if it fell into the wrong hands.
This was a test. And guys, I'm sorry to say,
you all failed.
Steal technology.
Uh, Larry?
You were the opposite of team.
Teamwork like that,
it'll destroy the whole town!
(STAMMERING)
Destroy the whole town.
I really thought you guys
were the next generation of racers.
Uh, Larry?
I believed you were a team.
But I guess I was wrong.
Destroy the whole town!
I wish this ended different, but. ..
(GASPS)
Ow! You got some skin, dude.
And now, I need your keys.
Now, about that whole
49

erasing-your-memories thing, 1...

(ENGINE GROWLING)
Destroy the whole town!
A malfunctioning, evil-eyed robot
behind the wheel of a car
that transforms the world
with its exhaust smoke?
Good thing my phone controls that car.
And my phone is inside Rev.
Destroy the whole town!
Yup, we're pretty much doomed.
(SCREAMING)
LARRY: I only gave this town
a taste of imagination,
but without someone controlling Rev,
there's no way I can stop him!
Then we'll do it.
That's what we've been trying to do
this whole time.
And we failed.
We failed because
we were thinking about ourselves
instead of our mission.
We failed because we didn't work together.
And that goes for me, too.
Guys, we've been friends our whole lives
50

and cars have always brought us together.

I'm not gonna let one split us up.
We are gonna stop Rev.
And it's gonna be awesome.
It's gonna be sweet.
It's gonna be cool!
And really, really dangerous.
All right, boys, time for some chores.
Let's take out the trash, literally.
Destroy the whole town.
Oh, yeah, typical day.
Hmm ...
WYATT: Where's Jerry?
Which way did he go?
(TIRES SCREECH)
/ Guys, he's heading for the loop.
Which loop?
The Super Loop.
(DRAMATIC MUSIC PLAYING)
(TURNS MUSIC OFF)
(CHUCKLES EMBARRASSEDLY)
Sorry, guys. Couldn't resist.
Guys, he's going for it.
How did .. .
He know...
Our weakness?
51

ich is our inability to

complete the loop as a team.

If we wanna stop that car,

we need to make it through the loop.
( We can do it this time.
Yeah, we'll do your drifting thing or whatever.
-Drafting.
-I said, "Or whatever"!
(SIGHS)
(DRAMATIC MUSIC RESUMES)
BRANDON: We need to work together
and stay in the formation, otherwise ...
Well, we all remember
what happened last time.
We only have one shot at this!
Let's not, uh, fail. Or meet a hideous doom.
I'm not good at pep talks.
Yay, team.
Brandon, far be it for me
to ever pay a compliment
to our mutual acquaintance in driving.
But I would be remiss if I did not say that
Gage should probably
lead the charge on this one.
-What?
-Dude, did you just, like,
52

bury a compliment to Gage

under a heap of your best vocabulary?

Uh, no, I just, I think ...

Well, technically, Gage has the fastest car.
That's what I said!
-Really?
-Yup, really.
Okay. Yay, team.

(SINGING) Hot Wheels Racers sing this song

Doo-da, Doo-da
Hot Wheels racetrack's 5 miles long
Oh, de doo-da day
Going to race all night
Going to race all day
We'll get through this Super Loop
And we'll make Rev pay
See them flying on a 10-mile heat
Doo-da, Doo-da
With teamwork we will never get beat
Oh, de doo-da day
Going to race all night
Going to race all day
We'll get through this Super Loop
And we'll make Rev pay
WYATT: Yee-haw!
53

Huh? He's too far away.

We can catch him. We just gotta go faster.

We already did everything

we could to go faster.
Wait a minute.
It always comes down to speed.

We need to go fast. Out of the fast lane!

You know my motto,
"Always comes down to speed."
Guys, I've been wrong this whole time.
It does always come down to speed,

but going faster isn't always the answer.

Maybe we need to make Rev go slower.
Slower like a turtle.
Brandon, do we still have that turtle DNA?
(GASPS)
Gage, you're a genius!
Hello, I've only been talking
about turtles, like, forever.
We can use the Hydrator Ray
to tum Rev into a Turtle-Mobile.
Good thing I packed
this portable version of the Ray.
That's convenient.
Giddy-up.
Okay, I'm locked and loaded.
54

This is only good for about three shots,

so we gotta get close.

And stay steady.

Oh, I'll stay steady.
(BEEPING)
Once I'm in range, one zap of this and ...
Boom! Turtle car!
There he is. He's still too far ahead.
We need a diversion.
I got just the thing.
(WHISTLES)
(STAMMERING) Destroy everything!
Yes! We're in range!
........
Fire.
No!
Two shots left, man! No sweat!
Steady, steady.
Gotcha!
I'm okay!
But we're not.
We'll never get him in range.
He's just too fast.
Fast? I'll show you fast.
It always comes down to speed.

I'm maxed out and I still can't pass him.

I gotta shed some weight.
55

WYATT: (SCREAMS) What's he doing?

Need more speed!

BRANDON: Whoa!
You're crazy. You know that?
Just a little more.
WYATT: I can't even see him.
BRANDON: Look out!
Was that Gage's jacket?
Incoming size 8s.
Pants!
Yes! Brandon likey.
Would you like a beverage?
ALL: Oh, Jerry!
(LAUGHING)
(CHEERING)
We owe these four heroes a debt of gratitude,
not only for saving our city,
but for showing us
how truly awesome it can be!
And what better way to celebrate
than with a parade?
Can I get a "woot-woot"?
ALL: Woot-woot!
Man, let's rip off these helmets
and soak up some glory!
Sweet. Let's do it.
56

Some of us might not want

to be unmasked right now.

(FARIS)
Nice work, Gage.
You, too, Wyatt.
LARRY: Thanks to you boys,
everybody can enjoy this one of a kind place
in all its awesome glory.
Hot Wheels City is the most
incredible place on Earth.
And you boys are its chosen defenders.
So I need you out on the road
every day protecting our town
and this test facility.
Just think of all the incredible things
you've seen in this place
and all the dangerous stuff

~ou accidentally made.

And then awesomely wrangled.
Wyatt-style, baby!
Can you imagine what'd happen
if bad guys got in here?
And there are plenty of them
.who would do anything to get in.
Villains, thieves, outlaws, pirates,
wizards, aliens, Loch Ness Monster,
57

Bigfoot, little foot, my foot,

King Kong, Dracula,
boogeyman, zombies, mummies,
flying monkeys, warrior princesses ...
What was I talking about?
You said villains, thieves, outlaws, Dracula ...

The bottom line is this town needs you.

" " This test facility needs you.

And I need you,
to carry on the legacy of this place.
But most importantly, you need each other.

It's not gonna be easy out there.

But it is gonna be awesome!
-ALL: Yeah!
-Brandon likey!
Please work, please work, please work.
(WHOOPS)
Really, Jerry?
The ...
It's over now.
