Prepare to count down.

Whoa!

[Hooting]

[Laughing]

Yeah!

[Howling]

Right behind you, otto man!

Get him, twist!

Why so high and dry, guy?

This sponge is keeping me from being one of the guys.

I'm just one of the squids.

So learn to surf, sammy.

It's not so tough.

Yeah, right.

I'm going to look less than lame

Next to otto and twister.

Besides, whenever I'd try to surf

They'd totally bust my chops.

I don't think the guys would bust your chops.

How's the heat, spongehead?

[Both laughing]

Yeah, want us to get your water wingies?

Hey, what's sammy going to do

When we hit malibu this weekend?

Yeah, the 'bu is for surfers only.

[Groans]

Forget them, sammy.

I'll teach you how to surf.

We'll start as early as possible--

Tomorrow morning.

You into it?

Definitely.

Thanks, reg.

Yeah, all right.

[Laughs]

[Hooting]

Ooh, yeah, all right, man.

Yeah!

[Cheering]

Yeah!

Look at those moves.

[Hooting]

I shouldn't be here.

Come on, they were like you once.

When they were our age

They had to learn to surf, too.

Ha, ha!

How you guys doing?

Awesome waves.

You guys paddling out?

There's plenty of waves to share.

[Sighs]

Oh, I can't, I'll embarrass myself.

Sammy, rule number one:

Just relax and let's have fun.

Don't think so much.

Look, nose in front, tail in back

Find your balance and sit.

Whoa!

Hey, this is easy!

[Gasps]

Little too far back.

Nose front...

Nose-dive?

Keep searching for that sweet spot.

I think it's underwater.

Come on, sammy.

[Gasping]

I'm making a jerk of myself.

Again!

Ya... Hoo!

Ha, ha!

Yeah, all right!

I just want to have as much fun as you guys!

You just need to give it time.

Right... I'll be a great surfer when I'm .

Oh, sam...

[Humming]

What can I do for you, little coz?

Tito, you know everything about surfing.

Could you give sam a few lessons?

You know, like in private?

I tried to teach him, but he's got a balance problem.

Aha!

I know balance problems.

I got an opening this afternoon.

Bring him my office, promptly at :.

Aw, thanks, tito.

Hey, little cozes!

Welcome to tito's school of surfing.

Not affiliated with tito's surfing school.

The chairman of the surfboard

Is going to check you out.

I don't think this is such a good idea.

Sammy, you must not concern yourself.

Everything said between us

Remains strictly confidential.

Really?

Of course.

Why, just last week, merv stimpleton told me

He was afraid of sand crabs--

Little, tiny sand crabs.

And that is a confidence I'll never betray.

Tito, we know that.

You mentioned it at the town meeting

Two days ago.

Now, what's your problem, little brother?

I can tell you in two words: sur fing.

Oh, as the ancient hawaiians said,he'e nalu.

Oh!oh!

The history of surfing is a fascinating one.

It started hundreds of years ago.

Yowee!

Tito: boards back then could be almost feet long

And weigh pounds!

[All groaning]

Yee-hah!

In the s here in california

They were hollow paddleboards made of plywood.

[Gasps]

Today, surfing is practiced

By all manner of radical little sisters and brothers

Like yourselves-- out to meet and greet mother ocean

In a display of unnatural acts, both on sea and air.

And so, this is why we surf:

To celebrate a tradition of communing with the water.

And to have as much fun as humanly possible.

Ku'u aku, ho'onanea, luana.

What's that mean?

Relax and have a k*ller time, little coz!

That's what reggie keeps telling me.

None of you guys know how hard it is for me

To just balance on the board.

You just need to practice.

[Grunting]

Balance?

Okay, now paddle...

What's the matter, tito?

Hmm...

I've been doing this a million times.

What's wrong?

Hmm...

It's me, isn't it?

I don't know why I didn't see it.

The answer is obvious!

When I see you in the water, I see someone else.

Huh?

I see myself.

Sammy, when I was a boy in hawaii

I had trouble sitting on the board, too.

[Other kids laughing]

Why don't you just give up, coconut head?

Tito: but I didn't give up.

I practiced and practiced until one day

My father figured out what the problem was.

Cool, pop!mahalo!

[Clicks tongue]

It was hawaiian surfing history after that.

Yowee!

Wow, you were like me.

And back then, sammy, I was not so little around the middle.

Big fellas need big boards.

That makes perfect sense.

You don't need an ordinary surfboard.

You need a longboard,

And not an ordinary longboard... But this.

Sam: whoa!

It is on this board that I learned how to surf

When I was a boy.

It served me well.

And it will serve you well.

Me?

You're giving this to me?

But to be worthy

You must never forget one thing

That is most important.

You got to have fun, little brother.

I'll try, tito.

Thank you, thank you, thank you!

Hello, malibu!

[Whooping]

All right! Whoa!

Hello, insanity!

What a zoo!

[Gasping]

Hello, beautiful four-foot glassy-point break, baby.

Hello, mr. Hand.

Hello, twister.

Have fun sitting on the beach, squid.

[Laughing]

You ready, sam?

I'm ready to have some fun

If that's what you mean.

How's the beach, spongehead?

Yeah, the 'bu is for surfers only.

Relax and have a k*ller time, little coz.

[To himself]: all right, sammy, let's go.

Whoo-hoo! Yeah!

[All whooping]

Yeah!

Whoa!

Whoa-ho-ho!

I'm doing it, I'm doing it!

I'm really doing it!

I did it!

I rode my first wave!

You were great!

You did our board proud, little coz!

Both: widda-widda-widda...

Nice ride, kid!

What do you call that move?

Uh... Uh...

All right!

I got to try that one.

Hey, beauty wave coming, guys!

Otto: sammy!

I didn't think you had it in you

But man, was I wrong!

You're really a surfer now.

You were truly unsquidly, dude!

Thanks, but it'll be a long time

Before I'm as good as you guys.

As the old saying goes

The best surfer is the one that's having the most fun

And today, sam, that's you.

I couldn't have done it without you.

Check out my squid style!

Ray: well, hey!

We got some k*ller waves to catch!

Last one out is a spongehead!

Aloha to that, little brother.

[All cheering]

[Kids yelling and shouting]

Uh-oh.

Weird taste in mouth.

Wake up, sammy!

Uh...

[Gulps]

Otto: squid!

[Bell rings]

[Whistles]

You don't look so good.

Yeah, worse than normal.

Sorry, guys.

I'm feeling really cruddy.

Well, if you're feeling as bad as you're playing...

Otto, he's sick.

All you have to do is hold your hurl

For another seconds--

Just enough time for us to score.

Think you can do it?

I'll try.

You better, squid.

We're only one game away from the playoffs.

Whoa!

[Chuckling]

[Gasps]

Yeah!

Over here, reg!

[Bell rings]

Yeah!

[Whistles]

[Cheering]

All right!

Yeah, all right!

[Sam retching and vomiting]

Mmm.

Guys, I feel so much better.

I think I got it out of my system.

And all over the parking lot.

All right, twister.

I mean, I almost hurled when you hurled.

All right, twister.

I don't feel so great

All of a sudden.

[Stomach rumbling]

[Groans]

Whoa!

[Stomach burbling]

Agh.

You probably got what I had yesterday.

It'll be gone soon.

Really?

Good.

So why don't we recharge

With some chili cheese fries.

[Stomach rumbling]

[Retching]

Tito:so...

What do you think?

I think you've gone bananas.

No, brother, coconuts.

Luau night at the shack is going to be jammin'.

I don't want you to be disappointed.

Remember when you threw that toga party?

Hmm...

Don't be disappointed.

Remember that disco party?

Hmm...

Don't be disappointed.

Remember that...

Okay, okay!

Don't you worry.

Believe it or not, I have a few friends besides you

And they promised they'd stop by.

[Phone ringing]

See?

Word's out already.

Luau central, the topic is tropic.

King kahuna tito at your service.

[Voice babbling on phone]

Uh-huh...

Ooh!

Aha.

It's for you.

Hello.

Okay, I'll be right home.

Stay in bed till I get there.

What is it?

Car break down?

Got to get home.

Be back soon as I can.

[Rumbling]

Thanks for making the house call, dr. Freimuth.

It's all part of being a doctor.

Just put a little extra cheese on those chili cheese fries.

[Stomachs gurgling]

So, flu, cold, what?

It's the flu, all right, but not just any flu.

It's the fiji flu!

Oh, my gosh!

Not the fiji flu!

Why, oh why the fiji flu?

What's the fiji flu?

Don't worry, it'll pass in a few hours, just like sam.

I'm afraid not.

More like a few days.

The heavy symptoms should hit in a few hours.

No fair! What about him?

Nothing happened to him.

Let me explain.

Sam's probably built up an immunity.

Wait a minute.

You're telling me that sam's not sick

Because he's always sick

And we're sick because we never are?

That's sick!

He's delirious.

But right.

The kids'll be in bed for a few days at least.

And the symptoms should start soon--

[Quietly]: high-pitched voice, irritability.

What?! We have a huge game tomorrow.

If we miss it, we miss the playoffs!

Thanks a lot, squid.

I wonder how twister's feeling?

[Phone rings]

Twister [in high voice]: hello?

Of course I sound funny.

I have the fiji flu.

[Phone rings]

Reggie: hello?

Hi, reggie, how are you feeling?

[Reggie moaning]

I'm sorry I got all you guys sick.

Talk to otto.

This flu's going to keep us out of the playoffs.

Don't blame yourself.

I blame you enough for the both of us, anyway!

Can it!

Oh... Rocky, boy.

It's not over yet.

If I can get a team together just for one game

We might just make the playoffs.

[Dial tone]

Reggie?

[School bell rings]

What's up, dullard?

You disturbed my communing

With the dark forces.

Stage fright?

Just imagine everyone in their underwear.

I did it backwards!

Close enough.

Hi, I'm sam.

My friends are sick

And I need people to fill in for them.

Come on, what do you say?

Not all at once.

What if I said you'd be helping us get to the playoffs?

What if... I promised to do my teammates' homework for a month?

[Wheels screeching]

Now, this is more like it.

Otto, do you have to keep changing the channel

Every three seconds?

There's nothing on.

There's channels.

Pick one!

Hey

I thought I would whip you guys up some food.

When I was sick as a kid

This always hit the spot.

What spot are you talking about?

Don't we have any soup?

Right... Soup.

I'll have to get some.

In the meantime

What can I make you that's hot?

What about some hot fruit punch?

Hot... Fruit... Punch?

Hey, dude

Sorry to hear about forfeit flu.

[Whimpering]

What did you say?

[Mumbling in high tone]

I'm sorry.

I can't hear you.

Have you ever had the fiji flu?

[Sneezes]

You sound like one of those little guys

In that movie about the tornado.

[Mockingly]: ♪ it's a twister

♪ It's a twister!

[Laughing]

Really?

Really?

Thanks, trish, and good luck.

You'll never believe it.

Mr. Stimpleton's going to jail?

No, sam has put a team together.

We still have a sh*t at the playoffs.

No way!

The squid rocks!

I wish there was a way that we could see that.

Soup's on!

Otto: pineapple soup?

Yeah... This is the first course

On tito's luau night menu.

I hope he's not too lonely.

[All chatting and laughing, music playing]

Come on-- you guys can do anything.

We just have to run a few simple plays.

Whoa...

Whoa!

What was I thinking?

Now, let's try this again

But differently.

Oh... Oh, oh!

[Loud crash]

That was... A start.

We're never going to be ready by friday.

Yeah, sam...

You guys have been practicing all year.

There's no way

We can take this team to the playoffs.

Even eddie's no good

And he's got the netherworld on his side.

So I'm having an off day.

We've got to get into the playoffs.

Otto blames me for getting everyone sick.

All right, let's get back to the basics.

[Wheels screech]

Two-day team defending our place in the playoffs?

This could be majorly embarrassing.

[Bell rings]

[Whistles]

[Sneezes]

[Bell rings]

[Whistling]

[Cheering]

[Ticking]

[Whistles]

[Cheering]

Forgive me.

I succumbed.

[Laughing happily]

We're in the playoffs!

We did it, sammy!

Way to go, squidmeister!

Now I need you guys to do something for me.

Yeah, sure, what is it?

Get well soon.

Hot soup?

No, th...

Dad?

Hey, bro, see you

Next week in the playoffs.

[In high voice]: uh, you're lucky I don't feel so good.

I'm going home and going to bed.

Oh, I know.

I'll bring over some hot pineapple soup.

[Sniffs]

[Laughing]

Lars: that's sick!

[Burping]
