My Name is Mater
Mater: "My name is Mater."
Lightning McQueen: "Mater?"
Mater: "Yeah, like tuh-mater, but without the 'tuh."
Our first introduction to the now-beloved Mater (Larry the Cable Guy) also lets us know pretty quickly that Mater is a goofball of the highest order.

Crazy Grandpa
Lightning McQueen: "Crazy grandpa car..."
Lightning definitely has a love/hate relationship with Doc, and the young rookie seems to resist wise old Doc's efforts to steer him on the right path. Repeatedly.

Opposite World
Doc Hudson: "I'll put it simple: if you're going hard enough left, you'll find yourself turning right."
Lightning McQueen: "Oh, right. That makes perfect sense. Turn right to go left. Yes, thank you! Or should I say No, thank you, because in Opposite World, maybe that really means thank you."
The relationship between Lightning and Doc is definitely filled with tension - and humor and, eventually, friendship.

Feelings
Lightning McQueen: "I create feelings in others that they themselves don't understand."
Yeah, you sure do - not all of those feelings are positive, Mr. Rookie. You'll learn...you will learn.

Luigi Follow Only the Ferraris
Lightning McQueen: "I'm a very famous race car!"
Luigi: "You are famous race car? A real race car?"
Lightning McQueen: "Yes, I'm a real race car, what do you think? Look at me."
Luigi: "I have followed racing my entire life, my whole life!"
Lightning McQueen: "Then you know who I am. I am Lightning McQueen."
Luigi: "Lightning McQueen!"
Lightning McQueen: "Yes! Yes!"
Luigi: "I must scream it to the world, my excitement from the top of someplace very high. Do you know many Ferraris?"
Lightning McQueen: "No, no, no, they race on the European circuit; I'm in the Piston cup."
(Luigi and Guido frown at McQueen)
Lightning McQueen: "What?"
Luigi: "Luigi follow only the Ferraris."
Sorry Lightning, Luigi is fiercely loyal to his beloved Ferrari race cars - and you really don't fit the bill.

Great Timing Mater
Lightning McQueen: "You know, I've really missed you Sally."
Sally: "Well, I create feelings in others that they themselves don't understand, and blah blah blah blah..." (leans in to kiss Lightning)
Mater: "McQueen and Sally, sitting in a tree, K-I-S-S- uh... I-N-T!"
Lightning McQueen: "Great timing, Mater!"
As always, Mater has the timing issue down pat. Fortunately, he doesn't derail this budding relationship between Sally and Lightning.

Take a Car Wash, Hippie

Hot Rod
Doc Hudson: "When is the last time you cared about something besides yourself, hot rod? You name me one time, and I will take it all back."

Every Third Blink
Fillmore: (Looks at blinking yellow stoplight) "I'm tellin' you, man, every third blink is slower."
Sarge: "The '60s weren't good to you, were they?"
Sarge just has zero tolerance for the hippie Fillmore (voiced by the late George Carlin). Some of the best 'Cars' quotes involve exchanges between these two characters.

Not Firing on All Cylinders
Lightning McQueen: "Folks around here are not firing on all cylinders if you know what I mean."
While we can all understand Lightning's feeling that he's a fish out of water in Radiator Springs, he does kind of come off as a bit of a brat, particularly in the beginning of 'Cars.'

Woody and Buzz
Woody Car: "You are a toy - CAR!"
Buzz Lightyear Car: "You are a sad, strange little wagon. You have my pity. Farewell!"
[races away]
Woody Car: "Oh, yeah? Well, good riddance, you loony!"
Pixar fans no doubt recognize these two cars, the Woody and Buzz Lightyear cars! This brief exchange/cameo/parody provides one of the most amusing and clever exchanges in 'Cars.'

Lightning McQueen: [to Mater] "You know her?"
Mater: "She's the town attorney - and my fiancée."

Oh Mater. Sally is definitely a catch, and Lightning is instantly intrigued.

Saying 'Goodbye'
Lightning McQueen: "Guys! You're here! I can't believe this!"
Doc Hudson: "I knew you needed a crew chief, but I didn't know it was this bad."

Doc Hudson: "Well, I really didn't have a choice - Mater didn't get to say goodbye..."
Mater: "Goodbyeeeeeeeeeeee! Okay, I'm good."
Mater's 'goodbye' doesn't last for long - the two are once again off on an adventure (an international one!) in 2011's 'Cars 2.'

Yet another 'Cars' catch phrase, this one uttered by Lightning during a post-race event. 'Ka-chow!' shows up often in both 'Cars' movies.

You Think I Quit?
Lightning McQueen: "Doc, hold it! Seriously, your driving's incredible!"
Doc Hudson: "Wonderful. Now go away."
Lightning McQueen: "Hey, I mean it. You've still got it!
Doc Hudson: "I'm asking you to leave."
Lightning McQueen: "Come on. I'm a racecar, you're... a much older racecar, but under the hood, you and I are the same."
Doc Hudson: "We are not the same, understand? Now, get out."
Lightning McQueen: "How could a car like you quit at the top of your game?"
Doc Hudson: "You think I quit?" (reveals framed newspaper headline that reads: "Crash! Hudson Hornet Out for Season")
Lightning McQueen: "Oh, right. Your big wreck in '54."
Doc Hudson: "They quit on me. When I finally got put together, I went back expecting a big welcome. You know what they said? "You're history." Moved on to the next rookie standing in line. There was a lot left in me. I never got a chance to show 'em. I keep that to remind me never to go back. I just never expected that that world would...would find me here."
At this point, Lightning simply doesn't understand why Doc, AKA the legendary race car Hudson Hornet, would just walk away from his stellar career. Doc, sadly, sets them straight, explaining that everyone gave up on him after his devastating crash. Doc Hudson was voiced by late actor, humanitarian and racing enthusiast Paul Newman. The character provides some of the most poignant moments in the movie...

Focus and Speed
Lightning McQueen: ""Okay, here we go. Focus. Speed. I am speed. One winner, forty-two losers. I eat losers for breakfast. Breakfast? Maybe I should have had breakfast? Brekkie could be good for me. No, no, no, focus. Speed. Faster than fast, quicker than quick. I am Lightning."
Pit Crew Member: ""Hey Lightning, you ready?"
Lightning McQueen: ""Oh yeah!"
Our (eventual) hero, Lightning McQueen, is a rookie with a rookie's attitude - cocky and arrogant, but with enough goofiness to be lovable. His attitude will change dramatically when he lands in Radiator Springs...
