Otto: ready to bobsled the blair bowl, you guys?

Tear it up, bro!

You ready, sammy?

This can't be safe.

Exactly.

All right!

Yah...

Whoa...

Wa-hoo!

Whoa!

All: whoa...

[Laughing]

That was so sweet...

But let's not do it again.

That was nothing.

Watch this.

Hey, man, that was really cool!

Yeah!

All: otto! Otto! Otto!

Boom, baby, boom, baby, boom.

Go, otto!

Huh?

You ain't seen nothing yet.

Hey, I can do it. Watch me.

Otto, watch out!

[Grunt] whoa...

Uh-oh.

Bonehead, what were you thinking?

Look, I'm really sorry-- I must have slipped.

I'm, I'm...

Lame-o.

Hey, what's your malfunction, dude?

You could have whomped my man otto here.

I was just trying to ...

Sammy, hurry it up.

We're going to hit the shack

For a shake on raymundo.

Free... My favorite flavor.

I got to get my laptop.

Catch up to you guys in a minute.

Hey, nice laptop.

It's okay for a -megahertz

Flat screen gleaming chip model.

Into computers?

Ph... Who isn't?

I got a -megastrength...

Uh, keyboard...

Mouseterplan at home.

A what?

We just moved here

From seal beach.

I'm josh.

You know what this means?

I am officially no longer the new guy.

Sam dullard. How much do you batch?

Huh?

Just joshing you.

[Laughs]

I was just joking because your name is josh.

I'm heading off to the computer store.

You want to hang?

I'd kind of rather

Go hang out with the other...

That's sounds great, I guess.

Maybe later we can go surfing with the g*ng.

Hey, you want to go to the mineral museum for the igneous rock exhibit?

Ooh, I can hardly wait.

Look at that scanner!

Oh, please.

I love the whir of a hard drive

Booting up first thing in the morning.

Sounds like...

Megabytes.

Know what I'm saying, dude?

[Yawns] yup.

There's nothing like that whir thing.

Um, so, is otto into computers?

No way! Otto is total action guy.

Oh, really?

Hey, you know what?

I'm kind of getting hungry.

Got any good places to eat around here?

Yeah, why don't we go to the shack?

Oh, the shore shack.

Hey, great idea.

Otto: did anyone see lars in that last game?

He was, like... "Ooh... Uh..."

[Laughing...]

Woogie-woogie-woogie....

What's so funny?

Otto's doing his lars impression

From the last game.

Lars, what a dork.

[Laughs] yeah...

Dork. [Laughing...]

Huh? What?

Uh, you guys didn't get to meet josh before.

He just moved here.

I'm kind of showing him around.

He's the new kid.

Check this, guys: the squid

Picked up a stray squid.

[Laughing]

You snaked me pretty bad, bro.

Ease up, otto.

He was just getting used

To the bowl, that's all.

Yeah, that's it.

Sorry, dude.

Well, if you're the squid's squid

I guess you're okay. [Grunts]

[All laughing]

[Laughs loudly]

Cool it, dude.

I'm going to show josh around

Maybe take him to the rock museum.

Wait a minute, we're going surfing.

Aren't you coming?

Count me in, thanks.

Hey, sam, you coming

Or do you have some computer manual to read?

[Laughs]

Huh?

[Grunts]

[Laughing]

Just joshing, squid.

Squid?

Did you know the median temperature of the water is degrees...

Except during el nino.

Whoa...

Is there anything otto can't do?

I think he has trouble with long division.

Whoa... Yeah!

Whoa, he is so cool!

Let's go!

Hey, wait up!

Party wave! All right!

Party wave!

Josh, what's your problem?

Oh, no.

So, you guys have a street hockey team, huh?

When's your next game?

Not sure.

Can I play in the game?

You can watch.

Come on, squid, buddy.

What's the matter?

The name's sam!

Twister: come on, squid!

You need to chill out.

Yeah, sure, I'm there, got you, bro.

Race you to the roller coaster, otto.

You're on, new guy.

Hey, wait!

Oh!

Dude, we rocked!

Where did you learn to jam like that?

Been doing it all my life.

Not bad for a new squid.

Hey, where's the old squid?

Oh, uh, um, he said we should go ahead without him.

Thanks for waiting, guys.

All: whoa...!

Yeah...!

That's it! He's not going to the rock museum.

Wow...!

Whoa...!

[Screaming]

[Whooping and cheering]

You guys want to check out my -d disasteroid game?

Can't. We got laundry to do with raymundo before the hockey game.

Well, josh...

Do you want to come over?

Otto, are we hooking up later?

Hello?

Uh, sure, I mean, I guess you can come over

Watch the hockey game or something.

All right, I'm there.

Wooga-wooga- wooga-wooga.

Uh, yeah, whatever.

Catch you dudes on the flip side.

Squid, you'll show me where the game is, okay? Later...

Yeah... Much later.

I don't like that dude calling the squid squid.

Only we can call the squid squid, right, squid?

I actually understood that.

Oh, that scares me.

Don't worry about that guy, sammy.

I'm not worried.

He's new, he's just trying to fit in, that's all.

I guess I'm cool with it.

You sure?

Squid!

Whoa!

[Laughing]

Josh! You could have whomped me!

Squid, it's almost time for the big game.

Show me where you guys play.

The name's sam, and they won't start without me.

You mean, like they waited for you

At the roller coaster, bro?

Don't bro me, dude.

Relax... Squid.

[Shouting and laughing...]

Hey, you guys, wait for me!

Jerk.

Aah!

[Panting...]

Reggie: oh, no...

Looks like we lost sam again.

The game starts in minutes.

We can't play without the squid.

I guess the geek couldn't keep up again.

Geek?

What did you call him?

I'm sure I can take his place.

Street hockey's my specialty.

You'll never take his place.

Now I get it.

Listen, josh, if you weren't sam's friend

We wouldn't even be talking.

Though I can't figure out why sam likes you.

Why have you been treating the squid like crud?

Hey, I was just messing around.

Messing around with our friend.

You know what? Sammy doesn't need a friend like you.

Why don't you b*at it, kook?

You're just kicking me out?

Fine, I'm too cool for you guys anyway.

[Grunts]

[Laughing]

[Laughing]

[Laughing]

[Laughing]

Hey, you guys...

Wait for me!

Later, traitor.

[Blows whistle]

Hey, ref, give us ten minutes to get our goalie.

[Tires squealing]

[Panting]

What are you doing here?

Sammy, we got game, come on.

What about josh?

Look, squid, you're our squid

And we need you to keep being our squid

Because we're used to you being our squid, squid.

That dude josh was such a dork to you.

We told him to b*at it.

You really mean it?

Yeah, you're our bro.

We were only nice to josh

Because that's what you wanted.

Really?

Hello?

Game time, remember?

[Blows whistle]

Heads up, twister!

[Grunts]

Yeah.

[Cheering]

Whoa...

Whoo!

Reggie: you rule!

Otto: all right!

Hey, dude, can we go

To the mineral museum sometime?

No problemo, rocket boy. Anytime.

Hey, guys, enough talk.

Let's rock!

We got game!

[Whooping and cheering...]

All right, watch me!

Oh, look at this!

Yeah!

Yeah, all right!

Whoa...

Yeah...

Whoa, did you see that?

Totally.

I'm getting such epic footage.

You are?

Duh, twistervision?

"Duh" is right.

Next time take off the lens cap.

[All laughing]

All: bust!

It's okay...

I forgot to turn on the camera anyway.

Otto, I need that sh*t for my video project.

Can you do it again?

I have a better idea.

Let's play a game of o-t-t-o.

How do you play that?

You know, it's like h-o-r-s-e.

I nail a move, then you guys try to match it.

If you mess up, you get a letter.

When you spell o-t-t-o, I win.

Sounds like a really great way for you to show off.

I'll p-a-s-s!

Me, too.

I am o-u-t.

Looks like it's just you and me, twist.

Can't it just be you and you, so I can finish my video for the a.v. Club?

What's more important, having fun with your best bro or school?

Best bro?

Ready, twist?

Here I go!

[Grunting]

Whoa...

Whoa!

Wa-hoo!

Wow!

How did he do that?

Nice one, otto man.

I think I'll just take the "o".

You've got to try.

It's the rules of the game.

That is, unless you're a little chicken boy.

[Cackling like chicken]

I'm no chicken boy!

Huh...

Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa....

Whoa...

Man, twist, are you all right?

I think so.

Whoa-ho-ho...

Twist, you should have gone first.

Otto could never have done that.

Nice one, twist.

I never knew chickens could fly like that.

I don't think I want to skate anymore.

[Cackling]

Otto, stop.

Can't you see he's freaked out?

Twister, you quit, you lose.

I don't lose!

I'm just putting the game on pause.

Fine! I lose!

I got to go...

Work on my video.

That means you forfeit!

Whoo-hoo!

I rule, oh, yeah, uh-huh.

Hey, twister

We're not done playing.

I don't think twister was playing, otto.

I hope he's okay.

Yeah, he looked really tweaked.

I'm worried about him.

Don't tell him I said that.

He's just being a sore loser.

I know twister.

By tomorrow, he'll be begging for a rematch.

Reggie: are you sure you're okay?

Otto's so wild sometimes.

I just can't always do the stuff he wants me to do.

Welcome to my world.

I got to live with him.

Yeah, and I want to make it to the fourth grade.

Look, I got to get my video project done.

And I could really use your help, reg.

Sure, what do I have to do?

Huh?

I've got a whole new concept for my video

And you'd be perfect for it.

What?

I thought I was

The star of your video.

Reg... You're kind of starting to sound like otto.

This is otto, you dork.

What's the deal?

I'd feel safer with reggie.

What?! You know I'm the best skater in town.

I get it-- you're still being a sore loser

Aren't you?

I won, twist.

Get over it.

Otto!

Well, I'm directing this video

And I don't want you in it.

Whatever, dude.

When you want the best skater

You know who to call.

I don't need the best skater!

I got reggie!

Hey!

Twist: okay, I need you to pull a triple mctwist.

I've never done that.

Um, a with an ollie tail grind?

A what?

Uh, how about a tail grind fakie

With the alley-oop?

Did you just make that up?

I'm desperate!

All right... Just do something.

I'll be right behind you.

Reggie: whoa.

Oh...

What happened? Are you okay?

You're going too fast!

You're just as bad as otto!

Twister, I wasn't.

I didn't.

So how's the lame video going?

Great.

It's nice to work with somebody

Who doesn't have to show off all the time.

It's not showing off when you're the best.

Yeah, right.

I've got plenty of friends

Who'd love to be in my video.

Later.

Twister, you forgot your...

Tape.

What is bugging twister?

Uh, you?

Please form a single line.

Let's begin the auditions.

Now, anybody who has extreme skating experience

Please raise your hand.

Okay, eddie, let's give it a sh*t.

Oh, mighty netherworld...

Empower me so that I shall smite

The biggest air I can vanquish.

Come on already!

Yah...

[Crash, grunt]

Curse that n.f.o.

Responsible for this sabotage!

Ow, I think I got a boo-boo.

Oh, boy...

Yeah, right.

[Laughs]

Hey, little twister cuz.

Hey, guys.

Hey!

Hey, twist.

I knew you'd be back.

I know you can act

A little crazy and selfish

But I forgive you.

You forgive me?

That's just the kind of guy I am.

[Burps loudly]

There's no way I'm related to you.

Actually, I was going to ask the squid

If he could help me out.

Sam?

[Gulps] me?

[Laughs]

You're going to film the squid?

Kind of desperate, don't you think?

Actually, I am very photogenic.

Look, twist, I'm pigeon-toed.

Please just sh**t me from the waist up.

Did I mention I bruise easily?

Man, what's his deal?

Ever since I won that game

He's been totally bugging.

Do you even remember what happened that day?

Of course I do.

Twister was a huge jerk to me

After I nailed those moves.

Wow.

How did he do that?

Lame-o.

I can do that.

Be careful, twist.

It's a real toughie.

Whoa...!

Twister! Best bud!

Are you okay?

[Grunts]

Hello? What fantasy world

Do you live in?

That is not what happened and you know it.

You better check yourself, little bro.

I'll show you it's no fantasy world.

Let's go to the videotape.

Twist: nice one, otto man!

I think I'll just take the "o".

You've got to try.

It's the rules of the game.

That is, unless you're a little chicken boy.

[Cackling]

...unless you're a little chicken boy.

[Cackling]

I can't believe I said that.

Are you sure you want me to do this?

Yeah, that's great, just go.

I'm wasting tape.

Sure you don't want me

To just act?

[Growls]

Wait... I got to...

Relace my shoes.

Squid, come on!

This is a skateboard video.

Just skateboard, already.

Hey, twist, how's it going?

I don't want your help.

[Sighs]

I, uh...

I came to apologize.

I said i...

What did you say?

I didn't mean to be so hard on you

When you wiped out the other day.

Uh... I was just trying

To have fun, you know.

Like best buds do.

Oh, yeah?

Why am I your best bud?

Dude, because, you know, we just are.

And...?

And, oh, uh

Because we have so much fun together?

Um... That's it.

Um...

Both: woogie-woogie...!

[Laughs]

So you still want to help me finish my video?

You know it!

Oh, but I can't.

I hurt my ankle today. Ow.

Ooh, ooh, ah.

I'm never going to get it done now.

Sam: hey, what about me?

Ah...!

[Crash]

Actually, I've got a pretty cool new concept

If you want to give it a sh*t.

I'm listening.

What if I beef it like last time?

You won't.

You're a great skater.

Think how cool the sh*t will look

From the helmet cam's point of view.

You'll nail a good grade for sure

And I won't whomp myself again.

I don't know...

You can do it, twist.

You've done this hundreds of times.

Oh, yeah... All right.

I'm going for it.

Yeah! All right!

Wha-ha!

Ha!

Both: whoa...!

Yeah!

All: ♪ go, twister, go, twister

♪ It's your birthday, it's your birthday! ♪

All right!

Hey, watch it!

[Laughing]

Sam: I love the whir of a hard drive. Megabytes!
