[Piston] Mayor for the Day.

Welcome everyone to Gearbox Grove's 75th "vanniversary" party.

[all cheering]

To honor our town's birthday, the world famous artist, Carcel Duchamp

has created a special piece of artwork on display this week only,

the Gear Sphere!

[all] Ooh! Ah!

Where's the statue of our grandpas?

Over at the fire station being fixed up.

It's been through a lot this year.

Now it's time to announce the winner of the vanniversary contest.

We asked all of you to write down everything you love about Gearbox Grove,

and the winner wrote a whopping 287 pages.

So if your arm isn't too tired from all that writing,

come on up, Piston Porter!

-Yes! -Congrats!

That's my P!

Because you love the town so much,

your prize is that you get to be mayor for the day.

[all applauding]

Oh, my goodness, I get to be in charge of the whole city?

Does that mean I get to make the rules?

Yes, but the mayor is responsible for everyone in the town.

So think carefully before you do anything.

I've always wanted to be mayor.

I even have my own mayor hat.

I'm not sure mayors ever wore hats like that,

but whatever you like, you're the mayor.

I'm on my way to an important meeting with the mayor of Motopolis,

so you'll be in charge while I'm gone.

Good luck, Mayor Piston.

Thank you, fellow Mayor Geno.

I just want everyone to know that with Mayor Piston in charge,

Gearbox Grove will be the safest town in the country.

[crashing]

Starting now!

Everyone, stay back, please.

Are you okay?

You'd better pull over so we can check you out.

-Sure thing. -Thanks.

Hey, it's the duck family.

Hi, duckies.

[quacking]

-Did you see that? -See what?

That duck quacked to warn the other ducks it was approaching.

That gives me an idea.

Attention, everyone.

In the interest of safety, I'm officially declaring town circle a honking zone.

What's a honking zone?

When vehicles enter town circle,

they have to honk twice to alert others they're coming.

Don't you think that's going to create a lot of noise?

[cars honking]

See, Bo, crash avoided. With Mayor Piston in charge, Gearbox--

[cars honking loudly]

So, as you can see, everything is running smoothly.

My honking zone is a huge success.

-[honking] -Way to be safe!

What? What's that?

Your horn is music to my ears.

What music?

Um, Piston, I'm not sure you've thought this plan through.

Of course I have.

When I'm done being mayor, Gearbox Grove will be...

Safetytown, USA.

? If there's one thing that I know ?

? There's a perfect place to go

? To be safe and secure ?

? Of this I am quite sure ?

? So every everybody say ?

? A big hip-hip-hurray ?

? For Safetytown USA ?

? Safetytown USA! ?

[Mina screaming]

[crashes]

Oh, my mail!

Is everyone all right?

I think I might have gotten a little bit dinged up.

Don't worry, Coach D.

I'll run a scan to see what needs to be fixed.

How about you, Mina?

I'm okay, but there's mail everywhere.

We'll help you pick it up.

What happened, Coach? Did you honk?

Well, the Mami Van and I honked to avoid each other, but then I swerved into Mina.

But why didn't you hunk, Mina?

I wasn't driving.

I was parked on the side of the road, picking up mail.

Oh! Then I know what I need to do.

Attention, everyone! To avoid any more accidents,

I now declare that all vehicles

in Gearbox Grove must honk all the time

so everyone knows where everyone else is.

There's already so much honking,

are you sure more noise is a good idea?

[honking loudly]

What?

-I said-- -[honking]

-Mina, the mailbox is fixed. -[cars honking]

-What? -I fixed the mailbox.

Oh, great. Thank you.

What was that?

-[cars honking] -Do you hear that?

The honking? Yes, I hear it.

That's the sound of safety.

Huh? I can't hear anything over all this honking.

Good thing Mayor Geno is not here to see this.

Do you think we should check in on Piston?

It's only been a few hours.

I'm sure everything's fine.

You're good to go, Coach.

-[honking] -Come again, Axl?

It's hard to hear with all this honking, rattling my noggin'.

[yells] You're all fixed up.

Great. Thanks a bunch.

[horns honking]

No, not another horn.

Better get out your Fix-it Scanner again.

Help me put the fire hydrant back.

I need to talk to you. Where it's quieter.

Piston, did you think about what would happen

after you made all the cars honk all the time?

Of course.

Now everyone knows when another car is coming.

But no one can hear each other talk.

And Coach D just crashed because all the honking startled him.

Before you make big decisions, you have to think about

how they will affect everybody in a good way or a bad way.

I see your point, Bo.

So we should line the roads with barricades

in case anyone gets startled by the honking.

Or we could stop the honking.

With these barricades in place,

accidents will be a thing of the past,

But if we do that, will the streets be wide enough for cars to drive?

It doesn't matter how wide the streets are, as long as they're safe.

But...

[whistling]

[horns honking]

And that's how you run a city.

[Bo] Uh, Piston!

Because of the barricades, traffic's all jammed up.

Never fear.

Mayor Piston is here.

Jayden, Do you have your Mini J-Drones?

You know it.

[Piston] We'll have the J-Drones fly around town

telling other vehicles to avoid the area until traffic clears up.

Here we go.

[J-Drone] Attention! Traffic jam on Main Street and Hybrid Road.

Avoid the area.

Repeat, avoid the area.

-Attention! Jam on-- -[gasps]

-[honking] -Not again!

Will you please stop honking?

I can't!

We better help Coach D!

-What's going on up there? -It won't stop!

[J-Drone] Avoid the area.

I've gotta get outta here!

[Violet] Coach D!

[Jayden] Coach D!

[Violet] Let us fix your horn.

-Attention! Traffic jam on-- -Whoa!

Uh-oh.

The Gear Sphere is heading for all those cars.

We've got to save them!

Jayden, toss me the J-Catch.

I'm gonna use it to stop the Gear Sphere.

Wait. Are you sure that's a good idea?

Maybe think it through first.

Gotcha!

Whoa!

Look out!

You know, Piston, you keep making decisions

without thinking how they're going to affect everyone.

When you're in charge, you need to think your plans through.

Or else bad things could happen.

I really see that now.

I'm sorry, Buds.

Uh, I think another bad thing is happening!

We can use these barricades as a ramp to launch the sphere over the traffic jam.

Are you sure that's a good idea?

What will happen next?

Let me think.

You're right. If we do that, the sphere will hit the firehouse.

Unless you put barricades in front of the firehouse,

and deflect the ball safely up Electric Avenue.

That sounds like a well-thought-out plan to me.

Let's roll, Firebuds.

Before that Gear Sphere rolls over us.

Steady, steady.

-Yes! -Piston's plan worked!

Let's hope it stops rolling soon.

All right! It stopped rolling.

-Oh no. -I forgot about the hill.

But I didn't.

Way to save the day.

Thanks. This time I thought my plan through and made sure I was prepared.

Way to go, Mayor P.

[sighs] Now we better pick up all these barricades,

stop the honking and return the Gear Sphere before the real mayor gets back.

We'll help you get everything back in order.

It's a good think I like cleaning up as much as I like making rules.

Looks like I missed a pretty exciting day.

That's one way of putting it.

So how do you like being mayor, Piston?

I think one day of it was more than enough for me.

-[glass smashing] -But I have one last announcement.

I say we have a non-honking,

non-barricaded vanniversary parade up Main Street.

Who's with me?

[all cheering]

[Violet] Dozer Disaster

There's nothing like a picnic with all of my--

-Firebuds! -Exactly.

We need your help.

What's wrong, Eli?

Coach D says someone is going to bulldoze the wetlands

near Mudflap Marsh and build something.

What's wrong with that?

Tons of animals live there.

And they'll all lose their homes if the wetlands get bulldozed.

[gasps] We have to do something.

You're right, Violet.

You better find that bulldozer.

Let's roll! Firebuds!

[Axl] Wetlands are beautiful.

Who would want to get rid of a place like this?

[Wrex] Move it, rascals.

I got work to do.

I'm sorry, but we can't let you bulldoze here.

[scoffing] Why would you want to keep this swamp

when you could have a Wrex Bulson Retail Palace!

Who's Wrex Bulson?

Me!

So you want to build a shopping mall?

Not just any shopping mall, a place where families can shop,

eat, play, shop some more, get triple decker ice cream cones

and frolic around our centerpiece statue of yours truly.

Wrex Bulson.

But this isn't a good place for construction.

The ground's too wet.

Which means a sinkhole can open up and swallow up your shoppers,

or your statue.

So maybe you should build somewhere else.

Or I could fill the whole place

with so much concrete, nothing would ever sink.

But think of the animals who would lose their homes.

Think of all the ice cream you could eat at my retail palace.

How much ice cream exactly?

Jayden.

Now you better all skedaddle. I'm very busy.

No time to talk.

And it's not like I have anyone to talk to anyway.

What do we do now?

That's a good question.

Now, where is he? Where is that bulldozer?

A mall?

Why, in the wide world of sports would he build a mall on the homes

of all these cute little animals?

Whoa, Coach D, let's take a time out and calm down.

We can't be calm, Principal Kagan.

It's time for action.

I say we gather folks at the Overdrive Cafe.

Then, we can all come down here, link arms and block Wrex

from bulldozing the wetlands.

Don't you think we should try talking to him before we do that?

-We just tried talking to him. -A little bit.

But I mean, let's really talk to him.

Until we find a solution that's good for everyone.

Yes, that's what we call a compromise, and it's a great idea, Violet.

Yeah, I don't know about that.

I like my idea way better.

Me, too. Sounds like a winning play.

I'm in.

Then let's get the word out.

I have to go with Coach D.

But you should try finding that compromise fast.

What you thinking, Vi?

That we should try to show Mr. Bulson why we care about the wetlands.

Then maybe he'll be open to talking about a compromise.

Cool! And how do we show him that?

We put together a presentation.

A presentation? This is my time to shine.

Hi, Wrex.

I'm Violet. And these are my friends, the Fire--

Yeah, yeah, I know, the swamp lovers.

What are the Xs for?

Everything with an X gets bulldozed.

[squawking]

Mr. Bulson? We have a presentation to show you.

About why we should save the wetlands.

I'd rather get my engines degreased than watch--

[speakers playing music]

Our Precious Wetlands.

A presentation by Piston Porter.

Wetlands provide a home to many animals and plants

that can't be found anywhere else.

And all those plants roots hold on to the soil,

-preventing dangerous floods. -Look, kid.

When I'm done here, the only flood you're gonna see

is a flood of happy customers flocking to the Wrex Bulson Retail Palace.

But as you can see in this illustration, the wetlands are not

a stable place to build on because--

Yeah, yeah, yeah. Sinkholes.

You told me that already, kid. For a presentation about the wetlands, this sure is dry.

As in boring.

You want a presentation?

Check this out.

[music playing]

At the Wrex Bulson Retail Palace,

you can come and meet your friends or make a new one.

Then shop with that friend,

eat with that friend, dance with that friend.

Tell that friend all those special things

you've been wanting to tell a friend your whole life.

Now that a presentation.

It sure was!

Bo, you want to go to the retail palace with me?

Flash!

You got to make people care about the wetlands.

And right now, I don't.

Okay. We just need to make him care about the wetlands.

But what could make him care more than detailed diagrams?

Quack, quack, I love my home in the wetlands.

It's the only home I've ever had.

Me, too.

-If someone built a mall here, we'd lose our homes. -And so would our babies.

Quack, quack.

[sighs in exasperation]

So Mr. Bulson, wouldn't it be horrible if the ducklings lost their home?

You must care about that.

I never met any ducklings, so I couldn't tell you.

But I have met a lot of vehicles that love going to fun places

with their brothers, sisters and parents.

Places like my retail palace.

I can't believe he still doesn't care about the ducklings.

[phone ringing]

[Eli] Hey, Buds.

We gathered a bunch of folks at the Overdrive Cafe.

Has he bulldozed anything yet?

-Not yet. -Did you hear that?

We can still save the wetlands.

-[all cheering] -We'll drive that bulldozer right out of town.

We'll see you soon, Violet.

Save the wetlands!

[all] Save the wetlands!

I don't know what else to do, and we're running out of time.

Well, Wrex said he never meant any ducklings.

Maybe he'd change his mind if he meets them.

So what do you want to show me?

Wood ducks are one of my favorite animals, and if you're real quiet,

sometimes they'll come right up to you.

[chirps]

-Hey, there, little one. -Cute, isn't he?

So maybe there's some way we can talk this all out.

And find a compromise we're all happy with?

[quacking]

Maybe we could figure something out.

[crowd chanting] Save the wetlands!

Save the wetlands!

[honking]

Save the wetlands! Save the wetlands!

Wrex! Come back!

Save the wetlands! Save the wetlands!

Move it! I'm bulldozing here.

-No way! -We aren't going anywhere.

Just try and move us.

With pleasure.

Everyone, please! Fighting isn't the answer.

It's dozin' time.

-Not on my watch! -[all clamoring]

Please, if you just stop shouting and try talking to each other--

We don't want your shopping center here.

I don't have time for this. I got a mall to build.

What? Whoa!

[all exclaiming]

Wrex, are you okay?

No, I'm not okay.

I'm stuck and everyone is yelling at me

when all I wanted was to...

All you wanted was what?

It doesn't matter.

It's not like anyone's gonna listen.

Why would we listen?

You want to tear down our wetlands?

[all] Yeah!

See?

Look, if we all want to solve this problem,

there's a better way to go about it than yelling at each other.

What is it?

We have to talk it out.

[? music playing]

? Disagreements happen They're a fact of life ?

? But we can all get through 'em without pain and strife ?

? Set aside your fighting It gets us nowhere fast ?

? If you're open and you're listening ?

? Here's a fix that's sure to last ?

? Just talk it out It's the only way ?

? For all of us to have our say ?

? Talk it out and listen too ?

? Hear everybody's point of view ?

? You gotta talk it out No need to fight ?

? Together we can make it right ?

? Let's try and talk it out ?

We told you why you shouldn't bulldoze the wetlands.

But why is it so important that you build your shopping mall?

We're listening.

? A mall is what I want to build ?

? 'Cause then it would be filled ?

? With folks from many places ?

? Who'd bring their smiling faces after being alone ?

? For years on end ?

? The mall would help me make some friends ?

That's why you're doing all this? To make friends?

Well, yeah, and this is the only spot

in town with enough space to build a mall like this.

But I don't know.

Maybe we can figure out some kind of compromise.

Now you're talking.

What do you say, kids?

I'm willing to give it a try.

-Me, too. -I guess it's better to be on the same team.

? Talk it out It's the only way ?

? For all of us to have our say ?

? Talk it out and listen too ?

? Hear everybody's point of view ?

? You gotta talk it out No need to fight ?

? Together we can make it right ?

? Together we can make it right ?

? Lets try and talk it out ?

? Let's try and talk it out ?

[quacking]

You know, when you stop and look around,

the wetlands are kind of pretty.

And it would be a shame if those cute wood ducks lost their homes.

But I see why the mall is so important to you.

So is there another way to build something

that can bring friends together without tearing down the wetlands?

What if, instead of building a mall,

you built a nature center Mr. Bulson?

What's that exactly?

Well, you leave the wetlands as it is, making a safe space for the animals.

But you could build a little visitor's lodge over there

With plenty of presentations about the wildlife.

And a picnic area right here.

Where old and new friends can gather.

You can even give tours.

I bet you'd make tons of friends and get to hang out with

the cute little critters anytime you want.

Okay, kids, you got yourself a deal.

[all cheering]

Welcome to the Bulson Nature Center.

Looks like you've made a few new friends already.

I'm sorry for not listening to you before.

Thanks for helping me talk things out.

Yeah, Violet, that was the better way to go.

So now that we're here, I'd love a tour.

As long as the first stop is the picnic area.

Right this way.

Nothing beats a picnic with my best buds.

And our new bud, Wrex.
