* We are riders on a mission *

* Action kids in play position *

* Rocket power... *

(static )

(scratching )

(music continues )

* We are riders on a mission *

* Action kids in fun condition *

* Prepare to countdown *

* Rocket power! *

Ha, ha!

Well, this is no good.

What's the problem, Reg?

The anniversary issue of theZine is coming up

and I want it to be something special.

I just can't come up with anything.

Hey, I'm fully special.

Put me on the cover.

Yeah.

"Otto Rock, Ocean Shore's Number One Extreme Athlete."

I can see the headlines now.

Where? I don't see it.

REGGIE: Wait a minute.

That's a great idea, Otto.

I can select the top extreme athlete

in all of Ocean Shores

and I'll put him on the cover of theZine.

I'd like to know who it is.

But you already know who it is.

There are a lot of great athletes out there, Ottoman.

Maybe you'll make it, maybe you won't.

TheZine is going to run a fair contest.

TITO: I hate to disagree with you, brother

but asparagus has no place on pizza.

Is that right?

Well, let's see what the kids think.

Okay, see, Raymundo and I

are trying to create the ultimate pizza.

We're trying to decide on the best topping ever.

You know, I'm doing a "best list," too.

TheZine is going to name the top athlete in Ocean Shores

for the anniversary issue.

Are you sure you want to do that, little cuz?

The sun cannot pick its favorite pineapple in the field.

Don't worry, Tito.

I'm going to be totally fair and objective.

Then maybe you can tell Tito here

fairly and objectively

that peanut butter and sardine is an excellent pizza topping.

Um, you know what?

I think I have some, uh, scouting to do.

Whoa-ho!

Whoo! Yeah.

Ha, ha, ha. Whoa.

Yeah, Ottoman.

Great. Whoo.

Awesome, yeah.

All right!

Yeah, way to go!

The Netherworld bows to the Prince of All

that is rad and awesome.

Thanks, Eddie.

It was nothing, man.

Make sure Reg gets a copy of this tape right away.

Right, Otto. You've gained another number one spot

on theZine list for sure.

WhatZine list?

Reggie's naming the top athlete in Ocean Shores' next week

in the raddest of the rad, the king of cool

number one in the sun.

So, you want to get my autograph now?

No time for that now

for I must seeketh out Reggie

and exhibit my skills.

Later, dudes.

Reggie, dost thou wish to judge me worthy of the list?

Then watch me next.

I've got some awesome moves.

Over here. Over here.

Watch me! Watch me!

Okay, okay. Slow down, everybody.

I will watch all of you, I promise.

TheZine's going to give everybody

a fair sh*t at number one.

You can make your life easier

right now and just pick me.

Huh, that's whatyou think.

All right, everybody do the half pipe.

Show me what you got.

Check me out!

(gasps )

Watch it!

Hey!

I'm so sorry, Reg.

That's not going to affect my chances, is it?

(groans )

Of course not.

Don't worry about it.

Some big job ahead, huh?

Yeah, but it's going to be the bestZine issue ever.

(groans )

Ta-dah!

Ha, ha! Not bad, huh?

(sighs )

Reg, don't worry.

It's going to be totally worth it.

Hey, Reg, what's up with the glasses and stuff?

Shh, Squid.

It'll be easier for me to do this if nobody recognizes me.

Sounds like a good plan.

Hey, cool hat, Reg!

Oh...!

GIRL: Where's Reggie?

There she is!

Hey, check it out!

(kids clamoring )

OTTO: The movie's a great idea, Reg.

Take your mind off all those bozos, huh?

Give it a rest, Otto.

I'm just saying.

Oh, no.

Sam, I forgot my money.

Ticket's on the house.

Really?

Ta-dah!

Anything for the keeper of the list.

"Keeper of the list"?

There she is!

Hey, check it out!

Come on, let's go!

Watch this!

SAM: Are you sure you should have taken that ticket?

Why not? Well, he's one of the kids trying to top your list.

I'm sure he was just being nice.

Besides, it got us away from the crazy crowd, didn't it?

Yeah, if you say so.

"Keeper of the list."

Hmm...

I'm not going to use these

so I thought you might like them.

Are you sure?

You bet.

I'm glad to do it.

Ah, close enough.

Here you go.

Really?

Thanks.

No charge, and you can keep them

for an extra night if you want.

This is great!

I guess you can thank the keeper of the list.

Well, it's off to find some more undiscovered talent.

Did you hear her?

"I guess you can thank the keeper of the list."

Oh, yeah, we forgot to do that.

Come on, Otto, give her a chance.

She's not used to being

the center of attention like you are.

I'm sure she'll pick the right person.

Sure.

The right person who gives her the right stuff.

So, we can't agree.

'Fraid not, bro.

Then I guess we have no other choice.

Taste this. Taste this.

Just in time.

You want to help us with our taste test?

There's free pizza for everybody.

Sign me up.

This is what I was born for.

This is spinach, potatoes

anchovies, pumpkin

and chocolate chips.

Andthis is onion, oiled tofu, sundried banana skin

and the pizza de résistance:

(mimics trumpet fanfare )

mango!

Dude, are people supposed to eat this?

Must...

(retching )

So hard to choose.

Maybe more chocolate chips.

Do you believe this?

I'm not waiting here to get on this ride.

You're right, the line isn't worth it.

So, I'm heading up front.

You're what?!

Excuse me.

I'm Reggie Rocket

from theZine.

I'm trying to get on the ride.

Take cuts ahead of me

and it's Dominik with a "k."

Right. I'll keep that in mind.

I'll let you know how it is.

Keeper of the list just got another perk.

Hey, Otto, maybe you should give her something, too.

If that's what it takes to be on the list

then I don't want to be part of it.

(kids screaming )

That was major cool.

You should have been there.

You should have been with us in line.

Excuse me?

Reggie, look, people are treating you differently

because of this "list" thing.

Giving you stuff, being nice to you

and I think it's going to your head.

No, it's not, Sammy.

People are just stoked that I'm doing this

and they're just showing their appreciation, that's all.

But what happens when everybody

who gives you something expects you to pick them?

That is so not going to happen.

The list is not for sale.

I gave her a new leash for her surfboard

so I'm going to be number one.

You wish.

I gave her the latest

version of the Dark Dominion video game.

The list is for sale!

Oh, man, what am I going to do?

(squawks )

RAY: Celery as a pizza topping is gnarly.

Not any more gnarly

than mayonnaise.

Are you all right there, kiddo?

Not really.

I got so caught up with thisZine thing

that it kind of got out of hand.

Now I don't think I can judge fairly anymore.

There's a lot of that going around.

Well, maybe if you would at least try one of my toppings.

Why should I?! You won't try mine.

You won't try mine.

Hey, look.

Maybe the reason there are so many pizza toppings

is 'cause people like to pick their own.

Right!

So we can have people vote for their favorite topping.

Let the people decide!

Yeah, let the people decide.

Great idea!

SAM: This is exciting.

Who do you think it's going to be, Otto?

Whoever gave her the best gift. Duh!

EDDIE: You guys didn't give her anything good.

I gave her a Dark Dominion video game.

Thanks for coming, everybody.

As you know, this is supposed to be the day

that I announce theZine's choice

for Ocean Shores' most extreme athlete.

But because of the way I acted

people started thinking that the only way to get picked

was to do me favors or give me stuff.

So, I'm giving everything back

and I won't be picking the best athlete.

What?

No way.

What?

Instead, I'm going to let the readers decide.

Everybody take one.

One vote per person.

Your vote counts.

Way to go, Reg.

You did the right thing.

Thanks, Sammy.

Do you think I have a chance?

You've got my vote, Squid.

Ah, that's my girl.

I knew she could handle it.

The question is, brother, how is Ottoman going to handle it?

Otto Rocket. Vote for me.

The name's Otto. Love to have your vote.

You might sn me at Madtown.

OTTO: Rocket Boy's my nickname.

Yeah, Otto.

Yeah, yeah, right.

Ask all your friends.

Don't forget--

TITO: boy, people's power...

There it is, g*ng:

The Catalina Classic Paddleboard Race.

That's right, little cousins

miles of glorious open-sea paddling

using nothing but these.

It's just too bad they have never helped you b*at me

my-good-but-slow-paddling friend.

(laughs )

You are mistaken, brother.

I always beatyou.

What? You have never b*at me.

You know, we could help you settle this argument

if you ever let us go along.

Yeah, Dad, come on.

We can handle it.

You thinkyou could handle the Catalina Classic?

Totally, Raymundo.

The point is, Raymundo, you tell us every year

we'll be ready next year.

Well, this year, weare ready.

Totally ready.

Hmm... all right.

You talked me into it.

Why not? Why not? We can...

We can... (gasps )

We can go?!

You mean it, Raymundo?!

I already cleared it with Paula and Twister's folks.

You can all go.

But not on paddleboards.

You guys can follow along on your sea kayaks.

Awesome! Radical!

On one condition:

you kids do exactly what I tell you.

Do I have your word?

You got it!

Of course!

You bet! Sure thing!

Then it's a deal.

(cheering )

Catalina, here we come. Yay, finally.

(seagull screeching )

RAY: Now remember, g*ng

in the open ocean there are currents

the weather can change

and you certainly want to stay clear of the shipping lanes.

We got it, Raymundo. No worries.

And most important, you're not, under any circumstance

to leave the paddleboarders, got it?

I dub thee theShred-tanic. Yeah!

Tito, why do I get the feeling

no one ever listens to me?

Tito?

(kissing sounds )

What? You say something, brother?

(sighs )

(screeching )

(band music plays )

(dog barking )

(drum b*ating )

(whistle blows )

See you at the finish line, kids.

Ha! That's if you make it to the finish line, brother.

Let's go, dudes!

Last one to Ocean Shore is a kwimbie.

I don't see Ray and Tito.

They're probably way up ahead in first place.

Or not.

(both grunting )

No offense, Otto, but Raymundo and Tito are kind of slow.

Tell me about it.

What do you say we liven things up till they get here.

How about a race to that buoy over there.

(dinging )

Maybe we sh-shouldn't.

Remember what your dad said.

He said stay close to the paddleboarders

and, duh, most of them are way up there.

(buoy dinging )

I don't know, Otto.

Come on. What are you, afraid?

Yeah, I'm afraid of what losing would do to you.

Let's bust, Sammy.

Tito, you must be paddling too slow.

The kids are getting a little far ahead.

(panting ): Funny.

I was worrying about you falling too far behind.

(laughing )

The only thing you should be worried about

is finishing in last place.

Oh, no. That belongs to you, brother.

(grunting ) Yeah?

Yeah, man.

Shred-tanic rules.

Way to go, Otto Man.

Oh, pul-eeze. We may have lost

but at least we're dry.

(shouting and laughing )

Watch out, Twist!

Get 'em! Splash 'em!

Yeah!

Guys, we're getting pretty far away from the paddleboarders.

We should paddle back.

Otherwise, Raymundo will chew us out, royal.

That is if we don't get chewed up first.

ALL: Shark!

(screaming )

(gurgling )

(screaming )

(coughing )

Whoa, we were almost shark food.

(squeaking )

Don't you meandolphin food.

Pacific bottle-nosed dolphin to be precise.

(laughter )

Whoa! Major backside air!

(squeaking )

Ha, that must be the Squid dolphin.

(laughing )

This is intensely not good.

I cannot see the paddleboarders.

We better head back.

Guys, it's this way.

Wrong, Reg, it's this way.

I think Otto's right; it's this way.

You always think Otto's right.

You'd go along with him if he went off a cliff.

No, I wouldn't.

Oh, yeah.

Just like that time on Mt. Shasta.

You know, simply by using the sun for navigation

we should be able to find which way it is to shore.

Way to go, Squid!

Oh, no...

This is completely bogus.

We're caught in fog.

A marine layer if you want to be technical.

Now what do we do?

Hello?!

Can anybody hear us?!

(distant yelling )

(panting )

Tito, I'm worried.

That your arms are going to fall off?

Not me. I-I feel great.

(gasping ): No, the kids, I can't see them.

Oh, I hear you, brother.

Come on, let's dig in and hope the little cousins

are up ahead.

Dude, we've been floating like this

likeforever.

It's only been a couple hours, dude.

We're going to be fine, right, Reg?

You got it, Otto.

No worries.

(nervous laugh )

Excuse me!

Does anyone else notice that we're lost at sea?

Shh! Do you hear something? (engine rumbling )

Yeah. What is it?

(all screaming )

(screaming )

(screaming )

(both gasping )

Quick get in.

Here, grab my hand.

That was... not fun.

I thought you said we were going to be fine.

I didn't say that, Reggie did

just before Squid sank the kayak.

Hey, I didn't sink the kayak.

Knock it off, you guys.

The only way we're going to get out of this

is if we calm down and work together.

Calm down?

We're stuck on one kayak

in the middle of the shipping lane!

Shipping lane? That's it!

If we follow that tanker's trail

it should bring us to shore.

Reg, you're a genius.

(horn sounding )

(all grunting )

Um, guys...

what if that tanker was going out to sea instead?

Then we'd kind of be going the wrong way.

Oh!

(mockingly ): "Wait to go, Reg.

You're a genius."

I don't hearyou coming up with any bright ideas

Mr. Let's-race-to-the-buoy- and-get-us-totally-lost!

That's right!

If it wasn't for you, we would be in this mess!

I didn't hear you complaining

when we went after those dolphins.

"Specific bottle-nosed dolphins

to be precise."

You mean "Pa-cific."

Stop fighting. It's bad enough that Dad's going to agro

when he finds us.

If he finds us.

If anybody ever finds us.

Oh, no! Here we ago again!

Paddle!

(helicopter whirring )

(all yelling )

(screaming )

It's got me!

(screaming )

Raymundo?!

(grunts )

The little cousins got to work in The Shack

for awhole month huh, brother.

That's right, Tito.

They didn't listen to me like they said they would.

Besides, those kayaks weren't cheap.

Right, g*ng?

(all agreeing )

Look at the bright side, brother

they did save you from another humiliating defeat.

(kissing sounds )

Defeat?

I was the one in the lead

when we flagged down the lifeguard boat.

I must still have saltwater in my ears.

Did you sayyou were in the lead?

The paddleboards are right here, muscle-bound.

Anytime, anyplace.

First one around the pier and back.

You're on!

Go Tito!

All right!

Go Tito!

Wait a minute!

Uh, we're going to watch from shore, right?

Of course.

Solid ground.

You better believe it.

(relived sigh )

Cool.

(kids cheering )
