Prepare to count down.

[Sam grunting, moaning]

Otto:yeah!

Banzai!

How's the weather up there, otto man?

Partly gnarly, chance of pain.

[Yawns]

Boring.

Huh?

Boring?

I just did a super mctwist .

Almost-- if you want to win the freestyle next saturday

You're going to have to do better than that.

What could be better than a super mctwist ?

[Sam yells]

[Crash]

[Imitates crowd cheering]

And the squid beefs it!

Crud!

"The tic tac.

"Step one, lift front wheels off the ground

Swing in short arc."

I did that.

Step two: hit ground with force of giant squid.

Bam!

Lay off.

You're not giving up after one try, are you, sam?

No, I'm just working on my technique.

On the computer?

I programmed every known skateboarding move

Into this special -d modeling program.

Look.

The only way that laptop's going to make you a better skater is

If you put wheels on it and ride it.

The book says skateboarding is

As much a mental as a physical process.

It starts up here.

In your case, it ends up here.

Hey!

What else can this simulation thing do?

Anything an expert skateboarder can.

Yeah, right.

Otto: can it cook up some new moves, too?

Sure, just tell me what you want.

Give me a super mctwist, a combo kick flip shovit

And a two and a half.

Make that inverted.

And hold the fries.

Never heard of that.

The "super mcvarial ."

Wow! That doesn't seem possible.

Dude, if you can do a new move this weekend

They'll name it after you.

You think?

Sammy, make it happen.

[Electronic warning signal

Just as I thought, can't be done.

Physically impossible.

No way.

I'll make history with this move.

Uh-oh... Otto has that look again.

I hate it when he gets that look.

Can you say first prize on america's wackiest wipeouts?

[Banging]

[Aggravated sigh]

[Banging continues]

Otto!

Normal humans are trying to sleep!

Just taking your advice, reg-- trying something new.

Now he takes my advice.

[Rooster crows, dog barks]

[Holding back sneeze]

[Car alarm going off]

[Blows nose hard, coughs]

Now, merv, you can't get over your lithuanian flu

If you don't get some sleep.

Oh, how can I sleep

With all this blasted noise?

Besides, it's tuesday.

I need to edge the lawn, compress the mulch

Sterilize the doorbell.

Now, you just leave everything to me.

I'll give you a piece of paper.

You can jot down what you need done.

Take thecare of.

Oh, my.

Rough night, princess?

Rough brother.

He's been rebuilding that half pipe since :.

He's wacked!

He's not wacked.

He's a rocket.

[Yelling]

[Crash]

So he's a little wacky?

You've been there plenty of times.

I guess it would be kind of cool

If he could nail that super mcvarial.

The super mcwhat?

Oh, my!

Cool is you kids getting to school on time.

Otto! Get upstairs and get ready for school!

[Otto yells, then crashes]

[Otto grunting]

Ready for school.

[Sighs]

I love it when he listens.

[Kids groaning, banging]

Otto: left! Left!

Move the ramp over and give it more tilt.

More height isn't going to do it.

Hey, since you figured it out

Maybe they'll name it after both of us.

They'll call it the rocket-squid .

Great, I'll write it on your cast.

[Skateboard wheels rolling]

Oh, for the love of mike, violet.

The level's too high!

You have to get some of the water out.

[Screams]

[Splash]

Oh, goody.

Water level's perfect, hon.

Maybe the squid's right.

Maybe it can't be done.

[Dog barks, bicycle bell dings]

[Lawnmower buzzing]

You're cutting against the grain!

Inches around the shrubs.

Inches!

What's that, dear?

Whoa... Whoa!

[Crash]

Violet!

Violet!

Whoa!

[Loud pop]

Whoa!

Ooh-- hope that wasn't a chipmunk.

Twister: I can't believe it!

Way to go, rocket boy.

I did it?

I did it!

I did it.

Just now, I did a super mcvarial !

Sam: what?

But that's impossible.

I saw it myself.

He did it!

Look, I may not know skateboarding

But I do know physics.

Like I said, otto

If anyone could do it, you could.

You did?

It's official.

Iamthe sickest skater alive.

But it's impossible.

Twister: look, squid--

I got it on tape.

You can't see anything.

The sun's in the lens.

Oh, man!

I want to sh**t it again.

You will...

At the competition.

Maybe the inertial moment was greater

Than the mass of the skateboard.

[Grunts]

Tennis ball?

[Lawnmower hums]

Lawnmower?

Angle of deflection?

That's it!

Skateboarder: oh, man!

Look at this crowd.

I wish we'd had this kind of turnout

When I was competing.

Of course, I wish we'd had helmets then, too.

Anyone seen sam?

I wish we'd had helmets then, too.

Sam's probably just mad that otto b*at his lame computer.

Hey, look!

Otto's up next.

Come on, rocket boy.

Announcer: last up is local favorite otto rocket.

Otto's going to do... Oh, wait a second.

Well, this must be a mistake.

Dude, I figured it out.

The tennis ball!

Dude, what's your beef?

I figured it out.

It hit you and gave you the necessary spin.

You can still win if you don't do the super mcvarial.

Did it before, going to do it again--

And win.

[Otto shouts, crowd cheers]

Yeah, win a trip to the emergency room.

Announcer: otto rocket is crushing the pipe, ladies and groms.

A supremo inverted caballerial right there.

Rocket is on fire!

Super mcvarial !

Look!

If he beefs it

I'm all over america's wackiest wipeouts.

[Crowd cheering]

[Screams]

Yeah, I got it!

[Moaning]

[Buoy bell clanging]

They were going to name that move after me.

It would have been cool to be the first one to nail it.

Me, too.

Yeah, but it was an epic wipeout.

You better destroy that tape, twist

Or I'll whomp you.

Cheeseburgers and fries might be good medicine

To take the sting out of that leg, otto.

I don't know.

I don't feel like doing anything.

Forget about it, otto.

There'll be other competitions.

Okay, you guys go ahead.

Sam, could you wait up?

I should have listened to you.

But instead, I lost the freestyles

And wasted all that time practicing.

You're not the only one who's been practicing.

Check this out.

Whoa... Whoa!

At least it's progress.

Someday they're going to name a beef after you.

Come on, squid.

[Kids shouting]

Go on, move, move, move!

Yeah! Yeah!

Otto: pass it!

Sam! Yo, squid!

Way to go, squid.

That's the fourth score today!

The object is

To keep the ball in play, sammy, remember?

Hey, he made the save.

You can't win a game you don't finish.

And we'll never finish

If the squid keeps losing the ball.

Fetch, squid, fetch.

Fine! I'll go get it.

[Groans]

Those guys think they can order me around.

I made the save, didn't it?

[Grunts]

Sam: hey, anybody see a loose ball

Come through here?

Ask him!

Sorry about that.

Whoa, the fastest p.c. In the world.

It's got...

Megahertz, onboard mathco processor...

Both: and upgradable, backward- compatible m.m.y. Chip set.

You know a lot about computers.

I'm helping my biology professor

Design a catalogue of the entire animal kingdom.

Biology? Where do you go to school?

Diablo canyon high.

High school?

But you're a kid.

I'm advanced.

I'm impressed.

I'm sam.

Oliver van rossam.

[Chuckling]

Boy: you stink.

I know we shouldn't have sent a geek

Into a computer store.

Oh, minutes to low tide.

Want to go down to the tide pool

And catalogue indigenous crustacea with me?

Crab hunt-- cool!

Let's go.

We may not see him for weeks.

You guys ranked on him pretty hard.

We weren't ranking.

We were being tough.

Hockey's a tough game.

If you can't stand the heat, get out of the street.

Good one, twist.

You're a real poet.

Let's give sammy a few more minutes.

Okay, but if he's not back soon

We're going to have to start playing without him.

How can we play without a goalie?

[Buzzes]

Whoa, you don't normally see

A carapace pattern like that.

Hmm, it's anl. Polyphemus.

Good spotting, sam.

There's a multitude of species in this tide pool.

Look out, oliver!

It's the rare flying conch shell.

[Shrieks]

[Laughs]

Sorry, I thought you'd catch it.

I remember once...

I'm not wearing a... A baseball mitten!

I'm a scientist!

I'm sorry, I'm sorry.

Still friends?

Yes, yes. All right.

[All laugh]

I think the squid ditched us.

If he doesn't come back soon

We'll have to forfeit the game.

We could play man-down.

Who's with me?

[Yelps, groans]

Maybe we should forfeit.

That rocked.

It's great to go exploring

With someone who knows marine ecosystems.

Usually I do things alone.

It's nice to have an associate.

No problemo, I know what it's like to be the odd man out.

My friends call me the squid.

In my opinion you bear no resemblance

To any genus of cephalopod.

Um, it's getting late.

I've got to split.

I also have to head home to catalogue this data.

Hop on; I'll give you a lift.

I have an extra helmet.

One person on a bike is unsafe enough, sam.

Two? That's madness.

Oliver, don't you play any sports?

But of course.

I'm the youngest chess grand master in three counties.

Oh.

[Chuckles]

We don't need a new goalie.

Sam will come back.

What if he blows us off again?

Twister's right.

Let's do this.

Okay, tell us.

Why should you be our goalie?

[Squeakily]: I like to think of myself

As a player with vision.

All: next.

[Fly buzzes]

[Grunting]

I have excellent hand-eye coordination.

[Groans]

All: next.

Kid [gruffly]: name's mack.

I'm an animal!

I eat kids like you for breakfast!

I'll play goalie, defense

Then I'll carry you home to your mommies on my back!

[Growling]

Thanks but no, thanks.

We'll never find a goalie.

This is ridiculous.

Just pick someone.

These geeks make even the squid look good.

Man, I wish sam was here.

Here we go.

[Computer roars, then booms]

What a cool computer!

I bet you have great games.

I wouldn't waste time or drive space on such frivolities.

I built it myself.

Impressive.

[Chuckling]: that's nothing.

Check out this catalogue.

Oliver, that's awesome.

But don't you ever want to skate down the beach

With a bunch of other kids?

Or learn to surf?

[Laughing]: you're such a kidder.

You really had me going there for a second.

Oh, my gosh, I almost forgot.

The library called.

The new documentary on the dung beetle is in.

To the library!

Okay, maybe they've got the latest issue

Ofbunny slope snowboarder.

[Chuckles]

There's that lively sense of humor again.

You must keep your other friends in stitches.

Yeah.

I wonder what the guys are doing now.

Would you at least swing at it

You big zombie?!

[Bellows]: for the last time

I am not the walking dead.

I am eddie, prince of the netherworld!

You're sure not being a goal tendie.

You shall pay for this mockery!

[Whines]: I'm telling my mom!

I miss sam.

Believe it or not, I think I do, too.

It'syourfault the squid bailed.

Me? Dude, you were the one

That royally dissed him.

You guys always have to bust on someone.

Look at you!

With samgone

You're at each other's throats.

Okay! I'll chill.

Let's get our goalie back.

Let's get our friend back.

It's still twister's fault.

What?!

The dung beetle is the most fascinating of the coleoptera.

Its adaptive behavior is...

You know, it's a pretty nice day, oliver.

Why don't we hit the beach?

Aah, come on.

There's all-new footage of the dung beetle

Fighting an african mud wasp.

Cool.

[Doorbell ringing]

Aah, nobody's home.

Where could he be?

Yeah, where do smart kids hang out?

How should I know?

Well, where's the last place

We'd ever find you, twister?

Book place... Um...

The library!

[Drowsy music with tuba plays on tape]

[Grunting]

[Laughs]

[Beeping]

[Fans cheering]

Nothing gets by the squid!

Excuse me?

Um, nothing.

There's a glare on the screen.

Would you close the blinds, please?

Oliver, my friends...

Shh.

Sam! Where are you going?

You're going to miss the dung ball.

The squidmaster general.

What's up, bro?

What are you guys doing here?

Just came by to do some reading.

What are you really doing here?

Looking for you.

Yeah, come on, dude.

We need you to play.

You need me?

If we want to win

We need the squid between the pipes.

Hey, look, the circus is in town

And one of the freaks escaped.

Hey, man, he's a friend of mine.

Just like you.

No. Me twister, him dork.

Okay, okay, easy there, squid.

I'm sorry.

Reggie: we know what it's like

To be dumped for the day.

You can't just leave him there.

You're right, reg.

Hey, oliver, come on out!

I want you to meet my friends.

So, oliver... Ever play hockey?

Hockey? I don't floss eight times a day

Just to have my teeth knocked out.

We won't knock your teeth out... Today.

[Laughs]: oh!

Won't knock them outtoday!

I get it.

So, what position do I play?

Quarterback? Jockey?

Outfielder perhaps.

Others: scorekeeper.

Great!

I can do it in base eight if you want.

Maybe I should stop off and get my slide rule.

I can be timekeeper, too, you know.

I can keep time in my head

With the accuracy of an atomic clock.

Violet: ooh, hope that wasn't a chipmunk.
