[ Indistinct shouting ]

Chuck, time to come in
for bed.

Sorry, guys.
I have to go in.

We can't stop.
I'm barely filthy.

And I want to win at least one
game of super-duper double dare.

You've beaten us
five times, chuck.

What's your secret,
amigo?

I'm fearless, digger.

I'll take on
any dare you give me.

Then I dare you to ignore
your dad and keep playing.

Porter: chuck!

Chuck:
[ laughs ]

Um, any dare
except that one, rowdy.

See you tomorrow!

Dad, guess how many times I won
at super-duper double dare!

From the look of you,
I'd say too many times.

Haulie:
your windshield is grimy,

Your fender
is scratched --

And look!
Your tire is almost flat.

So you'll just pump
some air into it,

And I'll be
as good as new, right?

I would if my air pump
wasn't broken, honey.

You know
what this means?

Tomorrow we're going to
take you

For your first visit
to doc bolt.

He's another mechanic
in town.

Really?!
Wow.

Really.

And while we're there,

We'll have doc bolt
give you a full checkup,

Just like the ones
grown-up trucks get.

[ Horn honks ]

yippee!

Hey, wait.

I've never been repaired
by anybody but you.

You sound a little nervous,
son.

I heard you telling your pals
you were fearless.

Uh, well, I am.

Okay, now.
Off to bed.

Big day tomorrow.

I dare you
to get a good night's sleep.

I super-duper
double dare you.

[ Laughs ]

[ Snoring ]

[ Clatter ]

Smutchy: ow!

Huh? What?

Ow. Oh!

Oww!

Haulie: you never should have
made that big road trip

Without seeing me
first.

Could be
you've blown a gasket.

Now, roll over to that lift,
and let's have a look at you.

I wonder
what's going on.

[ Whirring ]

I warned you not to put off
your repairs, smutchy.

I know, haulie.
I just hate seeing the mechanic.

They get you in there,
and the next thing you know,

They want to completely
rebuild you!

Oh, I'm hurtin'
just thinkin' about it.

They want to regear
your transmission,

Replace your brakes,
overhaul your chassis.

Heck,
if you're not careful,

They might completely remove
your engine!

Oh, smutchy, you just need
a little tuning up

And you'll be fine.

Honestly, my son chuck
is braver than you.

He's going to the mechanic
tomorrow for the first time,

And he's absolutely
fearless about it.

Scary voice: welcome to
the mechanic's office, chuck.

Just relax.
This shouldn't take too long.

And when we're done, you'll feel
like a whole new truck.

Like a whole new truck.

Aah!

[ Creaking ]

[ Gasps ]

Hola, rowdy!
Hola, biggs!

Hey, there, digger.

Are you guys ready for
a good game of hide-and-seek?

Sã­, of course!

But I can never tell
which part I like more --

The hiding
or the seeking.

Hide and seek?

Wahoo!
I love hide and seek!

Let's make it
even more fun

And play hide, seek,
and crash into piles of tires!

[ Both laugh ]

Hey, where's chuck?

He's usually
the first one here.

Chuck: psst.

Huh?
Huh? Huh?

Chuck: psst!

[ Clattering ]

Chuck?

Um, chuck, if you're
playing hide-and-seek,

I reckon you're not supposed to
tell us where you're hiding.

I'm hiding, all right --
from my mom!

Really?
Is she playing, too?

[ Laughter ]

No, she wants
to take me

To see the mechanic
to get my tire fixed,

And I don't want to go!

Why?
Your tire does look pretty low.

You're not afraid,
are you?

Chuck?
Afraid?

Nah, my buddy's
fearless.

I went
to the mechanic once,

And I felt a lot better
afterwards.

It's not
the afterwards.

It's what might happen to me
while I'm there.

He might...
[ Gulps ]

...want to replace
everything!

[ All shivering, gasping ]

Haulie:
chuck? Where are you?

Chuck?

Help me hide
from her.

Wow!
Hide and seek for real.

And I know what we can build
to help chuck stay out of sight.

Chuck's mom
is coming!

Hi, boys.

Hi, chuck's mom!

hi, chuck's mom!

hi, chuck's mom!

Haulie:
have you seen chuck?

He needs to go to the mechanic
for his tire.

Rowdy: um...

[ Clattering ]

What was that?

um...

[ Chuckles ]
oh, it was my, uh, transmission.

I-i think it needs
some fluid.

Well, rowdy, come by later,
and I'll take a look.

If you see chuck,
tell him I'm looking for him.

Yes, ma'am.
Good luck, ma'am.

Ahh.

All clear, amigo.

No, digger, don't!

[ Crash! ]

Chuck, it looks like all your
tires are running low on air.

I'm fine.
But how am I gonna hide now?

We...could...
Build another pile.

No way.
Not that again.

Hey, I know how to throw
your mom off the trail.

Alley-oop!

[ Splort! ]

Whoo-hoo!

Those look
nice and stinky.

Excuse me.

[ Crash! ]

Ahh.

There's nothing like
a good roll in the smelly stuff.

Ugh.
What'd you do that for?

Ugh!

I can barely stand
to be near you.

You smell.

Exactly!

Haulie: chuck?
Chuck, where are you?

Are you boys sure
you haven't seen --

[ Gasps ]

Whoa! Ew.

Okay, I'm ready to have
my transmission checked.

Oh, and I have this little
dent in my fender.
Oh, my.
That smell.

I think what I really need
is a big, big hug!

I'll check you out
later, rowdy.

I'd better keep looking
for chuck.

[ Tires squealing ]

Thank you.
Thank you.

Oh.
Oh, no, no! Wait!

[ Splash ]

Sorry, amigo.

It was a great plan, but
we couldn't take it any longer.

My tires are fine.

[ Sighs ]

I just wish I could -- poof --
become another truck.

Then my mother
wouldn't even recognize me.

Hey, that's what you need --
a disguise.

I can't wait to make
your disguise, partner.

I've got
all kinds of plans.

Wahoo!

Uh-oh.

I look like I belong
in the circus.

I reckon
that's the kind of circus

I'd want to go see.

I can barely move.

Maybe that's because

Your tires are running
so low on air, amigo.

No, it's because
of this costume.

Get this silly stuff
off of me!

Haulie:
chuck? Where are you?

Chuck?

You know, the more I think
about it, the more I think

You boys are trying to hide
something from me.

Say, who's that?

Oh, um,
this is my cousin, ma'am.

He's visiting from...

From iceland.

Yeah, that's it.
Where it's...icy.

Oh, really?
Iceland?

Well, just how cold is it in
iceland at this time of year?

Uh, vlicken sproken zippen
ze wheelen mit der freezen.

Uh, sorry.

He only speaks...

Ice language.

Brr.

Flippen ze oop!

[ Blowing ]

Uh-oh.

Chuck, come back here.

[ Grunting ]

Hey, what's wrong with me?
I can't move!

Now the pressure in all
your tires has gotten too low.

Chuck,
why have you been hiding?

I...i guess maybe

I was a little afraid
to go to the mechanic.

Oh, honey.
It'll be fine.

Come on.
Let's go see dr. Bolt.

Good luck, chuck.

good luck, chuck.

good luck, chuck.

Dr. Bolt:
all done.

Huh?

Red-hot turbochargers!
That didn't hurt!

Well, chuck,
visits to me

Are hardly ever as bad
as patients expect.

And most of us know

How to keep things
from being too painful.

Feel better, honey?

Totally!
Thanks, doc bolt!

Digger: what if chuck comes back
and we don't recognize him?

I don't want my buddy
to be different.

How about just like I was,
only better?

[ Gasps ] chuck!

You don't seem different
at all!

I'm the same old me,
but I feel great.

Worrying about seeing
the mechanic

Was much worse
than actually seeing him.

Boy, from now on,

I'm not gonna worry about stuff
until I need to.

Bumpers up, you guys!

All:
friends for the long haul!

So, does that mean
you're ready to play?

You bet.
What should we play?

Wahoo!

I've got some great ideas
for disguises for everyone!

[ All cheering ]

Biggs: yeah, chuck!

[ Engine sputtering ]

Hmm, that sounds
pretty bad.

[ Tires screech ]

chuck: mom! Mom!

I just heard!

So, uncle verde was here
last night?

He sure was.

[ Horn honks ]

red-hot turbochargers!

And he put up the half-pipe
at the proving track?

He sure did.

I bet you've seen
uncle verde

Do some amazing truck tricks
on the half-pipe, huh?

My brother has pulled off
some pretty great stunts.

Flips, twists,
nose grinds, tail slides --

He's done it all.

The best trucks
know how to get big air.

That means
get up really high.

And the trick to doing that
is to get a whole lot of speed.

Announcer:
on your marks, get set, go!

[ Crowd cheering ]

[ Tires squeal ]

We just found out!
Is it true?

The half-pipe's here?

It sure is!
Wahoo!

Let's go
check it out.

Wahoo!
Yeah!
Bye, mom!

Hang on a second, chuck.
Did you forget?

You promised to build me
that new tool shed today.

Oh, right.

But I didn't know that
the half-pipe would be here.

Can I do it tomorrow?

I really need that tool shed
today, honey.

Please, mom?

You know
I love building things,

But right now, I'm so excited
to try out that half-pipe!

I'm sorry, chuck.
Come on.

I'll show you
where I need you to build it.

[ Sighs ]

Here we are.

The shed kit should have
everything you need,

And the instruction sheet
is right here.

Good luck, chuck.

I'll be working on a tough
engine repair in the shop,

But I'll check on you
in a bit.

[ Sighs ]

Oh, no.
It looks like a really big job.

That'll take
a long time.

Aw, sufferin'
squeaky brakes!

And I was so excited
to try out that half-pipe.

[ All sigh ]

Come on, y'all.
It can't be that hard.

And we'll stay here
to help you, partner.

Yeah, chuck, then we can all go
to the half-pipe together!

Yippee!
Yeah!
Yeah!

Yeah!

These are complicated.

Too complicated
to be fast.

There must be an easier way
to build a shed.

Hmm.

Maybe we can find...
A shortcut!

A shortcut?

You mean a shorter way
to get to the half-pipe?

No, handy.

What I mean is a faster way
to build the shed

Than it says
in the instructions.

Are you sure?

Because the instructions say
the first step is --

We don't need the instructions.
They're too complicated.

We can put the shed together
much faster without it.

What could go wrong?

Okay, digger.
Grab that...thingie.

Then, handy,
take this, uh, doohickey.

And, biggs,
take this whatchamacallit.

Boomer,
here's this thingamabob.

See?
We didn't need instructions.

Half-pipe time!

[ Clatter ]

Aw!

Hm, I think I see
the problem, chuck.

The shed needs something
called a foundation.

It's a big hole
that keeps it in place.

[ Sighs ]

A hole?
We have to dig a hole first?

No problema, chuck!

Digging holes
is my specialty.

No. Wait.
I have a better idea.

A better way to dig
than me?

I'll bet
we can do it faster

If we use biggs' giant tires
to dig the hole --

Turbo style!

Well, that sounds like a hoot
and a holler.

Um, but how?

Just rev your engine real fast,
but stay in place

So that your wheels spin
against the ground.

[ Engine revving ]

I think it's workin'.

Yes!

Perfect. Okay.

Now, let's grab the materials
and get to work.

Uh-oh.

Biggs' digging buried all
the shed stuff under the dirt.

It's going to take us forever
to dig those back out.

Maybe this time,

We let the hombre
with the shovel do the work?

Whew.
Look, guys.

We've wasted way too much time
trying to dig a hole.

The shed
is like a puzzle.

We just have to figure out
where each piece goes.

Okay, start solving!

Uh, chuck?

Maybe we should look
at the instructions

To see
where the pieces go.

Can't stop to look at those now.
We'll waste too much time.

Come on. Don't you want to
check out that half-pipe?

[ Clunk! ]

...so it wouldn't fall
from the wind.

And we even added a few parts
to make it better.

Best of all,
we finished it in record time.

So, what do you think?

Haulie:
[ gasps ]

What happened?

Chuck, how am I
supposed to get in?

Oh.

Um, well,

It's like a drawbridge.

Yeah. Think of it like
your own little castle, mom.

[ Sighs ]
my own castle, huh?

Chuck...

There's not even a back wall
on this.

Oops.
We must have forgot.

Sorry, mom.

So, can we go
to the half-pipe now?

Chuck,
you need to fix this.

But we already
fixed it.

The shed has to be built
properly,

Or I can't use it
to store my tools.

Now, excuse me.

I've got to get back
to work.

But, mom!

Please, mom?
We spent so much time already.

Can't I just finish it
tomorrow?

Hang on a second, chuck.

I need to concentrate
on what I'm doing here.

Wow! You've been working
on that engine all day long.

And you're
still not done?

Not yet.

I don't want to rush,
or I may make a mistake.

Now, let's see.
How do I install this part?

Are you reading
instructions?

I thought you already knew
how to fix stuff.

[ Laughs ]

I always check

To make sure I'm following
directions properly.

Sometimes I double-check
or even triple-check.

But I think we may be
just about done.

Okay.
Let's see if it worked.

[ Engine turns over ]

You did it, mom!

It wasn't fast,
and it wasn't easy,

But it was done right.

You see, chuck,
the way to do a job well

Is to take your time,

Make sure you have
good instructions

And the right tools.

I have instructions.
I just have to follow them.

And I definitely have
the right tools -- my friends!

[ Horn honks ]

So, you're
starting all over?

I thought you wanted to find
a shortcut

So you could get
to the half-pipe.

It'll still be there
when I'm done.

In the meantime, I've looked
at these instructions.

It may take a while, but I have
the perfect tools to help me.

You've got tools?
I thought I had all the tools.

[ Laughs ]
I'm talking about you guys.

If we use all our strengths
and follow these instructions,

We can build it faster
than if I did it on my own.

What do you say?

Yeah!

let's do it.

Come on!
Okay.

Well, look at that.

Chuck, you've done
an excellent job.

Thanks, mom.
But I didn't do it by myself.

My friends worked with me
to make the shed perfect.

They were the right tools
for the job.

At first,
we tried to do it fast.

Yeah. We thought
we could find a shortcut.

Because we really wanted to go
to the half-pipe.

But, mom,
you made me realize

That the fastest way
to do something

Is to do it right
the first time.

Well, you sure got it right
this time.

What do you say I take you
over to the half-pipe

And show you a few radical
tricks my brother taught me.

Yeah!
Awesome!

Totally!

yee-haw!

Okay, chuck, now that you've
picked up enough speed,

Try to lift off at the lip
and swivel around.

Here...we...go!

Yeah!

Red-hot turbochargers!
I did it!

Nice job, chuck!

Okay, who wants to learn
how to ride goofy-style?

[ Chuckles ]

I do! I do!

come on!

me, me, me!

Wait, wait.
Not me.

Why not, digger?

I'm goofy enough
as it is.
