Whoa!

[ shivering ]

♪ Hey, Squid ♪

Looks like a tasty little wave.

Ready to rip it up?

[ surf crashing ]

I think way too -- Maybe not for me!

What -- What's the matter, Squid?

Not scared, are you?

Oh, little Squiddy is scared of the wave!

He's afraid he's going to get whomped.

Poor little Squiddy, Squiddy, Squid.

Lay off, Otto!

He doesn't have to surf it if he doesn't want to.

Any other takers?

Too gnarly for me, dude.

It's all you, bro.

That's right.

Because Master Otto knows no fear.

♪♪

[ gasps ]

Whoa! No!

[ gasping ]

Whoa!

[ surf echoing, Otto coughing and choking ]

♪♪

Whoa!

♪♪

You okay, Otto?

Man, you beefed big-time.

I knew that wave was too gnarly.

[ coughing ]

Yeah, yeah, I'm okay.

See? Totally cool.

♪♪

Whoa!

[ cream echoing ]

Aah!

[ panting ]

[ gasps ]

You're okay, you're okay.

It's only a dream.

[ aquarium filter bubbling ]

[ seagulls calling ]

The waves are fully curling!

And fully classy!

And fully huge!

Yeah. Fully huge.

♪♪

Whoa!

[ screaming ]

[ crash ]

[ panting ]

It's all yours, O-man! Go for it!

♪♪

Uh, that was your wave, bro. Why didn't you take it?

Mmm, guess I'm not in the mood.

Think I'm going to cut out. Go check out Madtown, maybe.

Great idea! I'm getting out of this.

But these waves are awesome.

Yeah, Otto, this is a wicked swell.

Sure, but, uh, we've been on the waves a lot lately.

You don't want to wear them out.

Coming?

Like I really want to surf alone?

♪♪

Otto: Aren't you guys stoked?

Time to get silly on this thing!

Whoa!

Skater: Ow!

[ loud crashing ]

Whoa.

Twister: Man, that dude is chewed beef.

Yeah, what a kook.

I know how that feels.

[ giggling ] We all do.

Except Otto. He's the master.

Yeah, Master Otto.

♪♪

[ echoing ] Oh. Oh, no! Whoa!

♪♪

You know what? I'm bailing.

There are, like way too many shoobies here today.

It's -- It's Shoobie City!

But we're practically the only the people here.

Otto: What about that, uh, barney over there?

[ skater sobbing ]Beefing it like that?

Anybody else want to grab their blades?

I want to work on my grind.

[ all shouting and hooting ]

Reggie: Yeah, baby!

[ grinding ]

Dudes and dudettes,

prepare for the main attraction, the "Otto Grind"!

[ screaming ]

Sam: Whoa!

Hey, that was close.

Can you imagine if I really fell?

Whoa! Unh!

Might have been... pretty gnarly.

Whoa. Whoa! Whoa!

[ screaming ]

♪♪

Twister: Hey, Otto! What's up with the slow cruise style?

Thought you were going to bust a grind.

Nah, I just want to work on my...form, you know.

Your form?

Yeah. Like, maybe you should get some!

Man, this is weak.

I'm taking off my blades and checking out of here!

But you're the one who wanted

to go blading in the first place!

Yeah, you're all no surfing, no skateboarding.

Pretty soon it'll be, like, no living!

What's wrong, Otto?

Nothing. This is boring, that's all. I'm over it.

♪♪

Can you believe Otto's missing this swell?

He keeps bailing on everything.

It's almost like he's somebody else.

Yeah, almost like a... sh-shoobie.

Something is seriously wrong.

And yet strangely familiar.

[ screaming ]

That's it! He's scared, like Sammy!

-No way! -No, I think she's right.

He's displaying all of the classic symptoms --

irritability, avoidance of heights,

of all dangerous activities.

Must be from when he got whomped on that wave.

Twister: That's it! You're crazy!

Trust me, if there's one thing I know about,

it's being scared.

Otto's not scared, and I'll prove it!

♪♪

[ tires squealing ]

Hey, Otto, man!

[ softly ] Hey.

I know this is totally wacked,

but these guys think

that the reason you're not surfing and stuff is --

Well, they think you're -- you're all scared.

You're not, right?

No way, 'course not! That's weak!

[ sighs ] Cool. Then come on down, man!

We're taking our bikes out, and you'll totally rip.

It'll be Otto-matic!

[ screaming ]

Sorry, dude. I got...homework.

-Did you say homework? -Yeah, homework!

Ever heard of it?

Homework. Man, it's true. Otto is scared.

-We have to talk to him. -Allow me.

I speak the language of fear.

♪♪

Come on, Otto. You can do this thing.

It's nothing.

[ Sam clears throat ]

Looks pretty steep, huh?

I know that feeling.

Man, you shouldn't sneak up on someone like that!

You know, fear is a funny thing.

I told you guys, I'm not scared.

I know just what you mean.

Admitting it is the hardest part.

The thing is, it comes out anyway.

Like the traditional wipeout dream

where you keep crashing and falling...

You mean you have the same --

Why would I dream about wiping out?

That's wacked!

Sometimes you have to start with baby steps.

Try some risk-free activities. Play a board game, read a book.

There's nothing wrong with me, Squid!

Just get out of here! I want to be alone!

[ slurping ]

Well?

[ sighs ] A textbook case of denial.

So, where's my little Otto cuz?

His body was snatched by a shoobie.

He means Otto lost his nerve.

But he won't admit it.

Well, my friends

like the ancient Hawaiian saying goes --

"A coconut is a hard nut to cr*ck.

Then again, it takes something hard to cr*ck the coconut."

All: Huh?

Sometimes the problem is the solution.

Yeah! Yeah, that's it!

The way Otto won't admit he's scared --

that's how we're going to help him.

What?

You're not making sense, Reg.

Come on! I'll explain later!

♪♪

Are you sure this is a good idea, Reg?

Otto's not going to like it.

Trust me. It's the only way.

I know my brother.

Hey, Rocket Boy!

How about a little challenge?

Just you and me, bro. Rocket versus Rocket.

On the waves.

First one to get tubed wins.

No, thanks. Think I'll just catch some rays.

Wait. Did I hear right?

Hey, everybody, can you believe this?

Otto Rocket turning down a challenge?

[ crowd murmuring ]

Boy: Otto's scared!

Later, Reg. Not now, okay?

The great Otto Rocket, awesomest surfer in Ocean Shores.

Now look at him. Won't even surf against his sister!

[ crowd exclaims ]

I'm not scared!

Then show me.

Fine. I'll show you.

You going to take it?

Um, maybe -- maybe the next one.

Okay. Guess this one goes to Rocket Girl.

Let's see. If I'm the winner, that makes you...

Oh, yeah? Watch this!

[ panting ]

Yeah!

♪♪

♪♪

Got it!

Way to go, bro!

[ cheering ]

That was pretty harsh, Reg. But thanks.

No prob, bro.

Only way to deal with a stubborn Rocket Boy like you.

Nice work, Otto!

Dude, you're -- you're not a shoobie!

Dude, what are you doing?

Uh, Sammy?

Sorry about giving you such a hard time before.

You just surf whatever waves you want.

No pressure, man.

Aw, no worries, Otto.

Unlikesomepeople, I admit it when I'm scared.

Like for instance right now.

That was awesome!

I can't believe I kept up with you guys!

You guys down to b*mb it again?

Sure, but, Twist, what's with the lame sound effects?

Lame? It sounds like I put a motor on this bad boy.

No, it sounds like you put a trading card in your spoke.

Take it out, bro. It's mega-annoying.

All right, all right.

I forgot I even had these surf cards

till my mom made me clean under my bed.

Check this one out.

A Rhino rookie card!

Twist, you got to let me score that card.

No way! This is my favorite one.

Check out the colors.

[ flatly ] Wow. This is super-interesting.

Are we going to keep riding or what?

Sam, Reg, you guys go on. We'll catch up.

Whatever. Come on, Sam.

Twist, have I ever shown you myfavorite card?

♪♪

I'll show this to you but don't touch it, okay?

Okay, okay.

This is the rarest, most awesomest surf card

known to anyone.

Anywhere.

Um, there's nothing on it.

Exactly, dude!

A card with nothing on either side

in mint condition.

Wow. Nothing on either side.

It's ultra-rare.

That card is awesome.

So, what would you want for a card like that?

Are you kidding me?

I'd never trade this away in a million, billion years!

Aw, come on, Otto, please.

I don't know, man.

Well, how about I trade you my favorite card?

Your Rhino card? Are you joking?

[ giggles ]

Okay, Twist.

Because you're my best bud

and I can tell you really like the card,

I'll do the trade.

All right! Thanks, Otto, man!

Hey, hey! What are best buds for?

[ smooches loudly ]

♪♪

Tito: Hey, little cuzzes.

Say, where's Otto and Twister?

I think they're trading surf cards.

Trading surf cards!

Say, Tito, remember that time you traded me

for my Duke Kahanamoku autographed photo?

Uh, yeah, brother. Yeah, yeah...

♪♪

I don't know, Tito. Are you sure this is a fair trade?

It's winter, brother.

You know how hard it is to find ripe bananas?

RAY: And it was the best trade I ever made.

Those bananas were delicious.

A bunch of bananas for a Duke Kahanamoku autographed photo?

Yep. Your old man really got the best of Tito that day.

[ chuckling ] Yeah. You sure did, brother.

[ whistling innocently ]

Hey, isn't that Twister's card?

Twister: Not anymore. We traded. Check this out.

[ humming idly ]

[ slurping ]

It doesn't look like there's anything on it.

You traded your Rhino away for a blank piece of cardboard?

This card happens to be ultra-rare.

Really. How come you've never shown me that card, Otto?

Because, Reg, only a serious collector

would care about a card this sweet.

Anyway, me and Twist are on our way to the card shop

to buy containers for these.

Let's roll, Twist!

Uh...hmm. Something's not right here.

Sam, what do you say you and me teach a certain someone

a little lesson about ripping off his friends?

But I don't think Raymundo knows he got ripped off.

Not Raymundo. Twister!

Come on. We're going to the card shop.

♪♪

[ bell dings, door closes ]

Excuse me. Can I look at this card?

Cool. And can you help me with one other thing?

[ whispering ]

♪♪

Can I help you?

Do you have a special cardholder I can put this in?

Are you kidding me?

You've got the double-sided error card?!

The double-sided error card?

I can't believe I'm holding this.

Can't believe you're holding what?

The blank-on-both-sides ' error card!

There's only one in existence! This card is gold, kid! Gold!

Gold?! But I thought it was just a...

I mean -- What?!

Kid, you're going to need

the best cardholder we've got for that baby.

Cool!

But -- But -- I -- But -- Huh?!

♪♪

Now, we've got to make sure Otto trades him

something big to get that card back.

This is going to be so good!

♪♪

Say, Twist. I've been thinking.

I know how much you like that Rhino card,

so I'd be cool with doing a trade-back, if you want.

Reggie: If you guys trade,

you'll have to give him something really good, Otto.

That error card is the b*mb.

He knows, Reg.

♪♪

Twister: Yeah, I'm pretty stoked on that card.

SAM: Maybe you can sweeten the deal, Otto.

All right, how about my new trucks and your Rhino card?

Your new trucks andthe Rhino card?

I don't know, Twist. Sounds sort of weak.

Yeah, Otto, what are you trying to do?

Rip off your friend?

Rip off my friend? No way!

Okay, Twist. My new trucks, the Rhino card,

and I'll rewax your surfboard.

I don't know, Otto.

All right! Look. Get the card.

Meet me at Madtown in half an hour,

I guarantee you'll change your mind.

[ Sam and Reggie cheering ]

[ chuckling ]

Otto: Bust out the error card, Twist, my man.

Whatever you want is yours.

The error card?

Uh, w-well, uh...

gee, Otto, I kind of already traded it to Trish.

-Huh?! -What?!

To Trish?!

Yeah, for this awesome board I'm riding.

I saw her on my way here,

and she said Eddie told her about the card and that --

Trish?! Dude, we were supposed to trade!

Reggie: Yeah, Twist.

You were supposed to trade with Otto.

Man, I'm sorry, bro.

Dude, how could you do this to me?

Well, maybe you guys can find Trish,

Twister can trade back with her, and then you two can trade.

This boardiskind of sweet.

Reggie: Twister!

Okay!

Good thinking, Sam,

but now we've got to find Trish before they do

and make sure she trades that card back to Twister.

♪♪

What's going on, guys?

Trish, we need to do a trade-back

for that card I gave you.

You're a little late, Twist.

I already traded it to Sherry for this surfboard.

Sherry?! Oh, man! Come on. You got to help us find her.

[ panting ]

[ yelping ]

Watch out!

You kids gotta pay attention to where you're going.

Yeah, we know. You seen Trish anywhere?

Trish? Yeah. I think I saw her go thataway with Twist and Otto.

With Twist and Otto?! Oh, no! Come on, Sam!

-Hey, there she is! -Sherry!

I got to trade you something for that error card!

Error card? Sorry, Otto.

I already swapped it to Eddie for these blades.

All: Eddie?!

I don't see her anywhere!

Maybe they went to Trish's house.

Come on! We're running out of time!

♪♪

Eddie: Apologies, but the card you seek has thus been bartered.

-Huh? -I traded it.

To who?

Girl: Yeah, I got the card.

And I ain't trading it!

Come on, MacKenzie.

Not even for a nice, bouncy skate wheel?

Wheel, huh? Okay.

Hmm. Skateboard, too, eh? That looks good.

And hockey sticks. A hat!

All right. I'll take it.

All of it? You don't even use this stuff.

Take it or leave it, buster.

I'll take it! I'll take it!

[ laughs ] Yes!

[ kids yelling excitedly ]

[ exclaiming ]

Hey, Otto's got the card back!

What's he doing?

Looks like he's trying to trade it again.

-Wait! -Stop!

Nobody give him anything for that card!

[ panting ] It's worthless!

-Huh?! -What?!

What do you mean, worthless?

We knew you tricked Twister out of his Rhino card,

so we started a rumor about that fake card to get you back.

You mean... you set me up?

Sam: We were just trying to teach you a lesson.

I got tricked?

But I traded away all my stuff.

-Trade's a trade! -Yeah, Otto!

-Trade's a trade. -Trade's a trade.

-That's right. -That's right.

That's great.

Everybody gets cool stuff, and I get ripped off!

Uh...

Best buds, huh?

♪♪

Hold up, bro. Wait!

I'm sorry, Twist.

I just really wanted that card.

But I got totally carried away.

Youaremy best bud.

But I guess I didn't act like yours.

Here. This belongs to you.

I'm sorry, bro.

Well, how about we trade?

I mean, if MacKenzie's got your board,

how are we supposed to shred Madtown?

Does this mean we're buds again?

Best of!

Both: Woogie, woogie, woogie, woogie!
