~ J. Curby Gremlin once he sees Professor Zündapp drive away from Holley.
J. Curby Gremlin is a supporting antagonist in Pixar's 12th full-length animated feature film Cars 2. He is a Lemon who is the leader of the Gremlin family, working for Professor Zündapp.
He and many members of the Lemons attended a meeting, so they could all discuss on how to discredit Allinol. The Lemons were using the electric pulse generator that looked like a camera to make the racers blow their engines and crash. This would ensure that all the cars would keep using convention fuel to secure the profits of the whole Lemon organization. He liked this idea, and he mentioned that he's from Detroit, Michigan when Victor Hugo entered the meeting room in Italy.
After Professor Zündapp faced his defeat, J. Curby and many more members of the lemons showed up. When everyone was fighting, Red successfully sprayed J. Curby with his hose, leaving the terrorist trapped at the fence near one of the buildings in London, the location where he was arrested.
Personality
