Dory: If you wanna win...

Nemo: ...you have to go faster.

Nia: I'm gonna eat your heart out, Thomas! (She puffs away)

Thomas: Oh, I don't think so, Nia! (He puffs away)

(Thomas and Nia chuckle)

Nia: Whoo.

(Thomas and Nia's wheels are seen moving fast. They are then seen approaching)

Nia: What?

Thomas: I love the fact that you're a friendly loser!
