Prepare to count down.

Look at that water.

Flat-o-mundo.

Actually, since the surface of the earth is a sphere

The water is really gently curved.

Thanks, columbus.

So how do you suggest we surf on it?

How about on one of those?

Twister: whoa, a wave bike.

But they cost, like, a jillion dollars.

You do know that jillion isn't a real number.

Well, hello, reggie.

Boys, you all know about the family fun day

At the recreation center?

Family fun day?

Uh... Yeah, but I think we're busy.

Uh-huh.

Oh, that's a shame.

As a volunteer on the decorating committee

I can assure you it'll be the b*mb!

Yeah, well... We'll keep it in mind.

You do that.

Bye-bye, now.

Man, how b*at is family fun day?

Just another name

For a cornball community picnic.

Reggie: hello!

Check out this year's grand prize!

A wave bike.

[Motors roaring]

We could do tow and surfing on big days

And scurfing on flat days.

It says here it's an adult-child competition.

So we've all got to team up with a parent.

If each one of us enters, we get four chances to win.

Which one of us gets dad?

Heads, yeah!

Sorry, reg.

I'll be your partner next year, sweetheart.

Fine! Tito and I will win it ourselves.

Oh, no, little cuz.

The hawaiian ancients had an expression

For someone who competes

Against his best friend and business partner--

Real bonehead.

Counting chickens a little early, rocket boy?

Dad and I are going to dominate.

Yeah, right.

I actually feel bad for those suckers

Who think they'll have a chance.

Hi ya, reggie.

Just finishing up my power walk.

Got to keep these buns tight.

Mrs. Stimpleton...

I don't have a partner for family fun day

And I was wondering

If maybe you wanted to team up with me?

Oh, why, I'd be honored to be your teammate, reggie.

We might have to work out a little bit.

Don't you worry, girl.

Workout is my middle name.

To my home gym-- come on!

[Grunts]

[Zipper zips]

What does this stuff do?

You grab onto these doohickeys to work out the upper body.

[Straining]

Uh, aren't you supposed to attach weights

To the other ends?

Stand back, dear.

I start slow and then I burn this place up.

[Motor whirring]

Ooh, I don't know what this does

But I do it five times a week

And I'm regular as a swiss watch.

What's this thing?

Whoa, a medicine ball.

Toss it here as hard as you can.

[Groans]

Whoop!

Mrs. Stimpleton!

Are you okay?

Whoo!

Thank heavens for these teflon hips.

[Laughs]

[Sighs]

Announcer [on tv]: next on surf tv, the best way to stay

In surf shape.

This is the life.

Oh, yeah.

Um, rocket boy, twister's dad is out of shape, right?

Total couch potato.

What a disgrace.

[Belches]

Pass the cheese monkeys, otto.

Lars: that wave bike's practically ours.

This stupid plan won't work.

Oh, really?

Well, I have another plan.

I whomp you until you like the first plan.

I like the first plan better.

[Sighs]

How's sweatin' with the oldie, reg?

[Exhales]: I'm lucky to be alive.

It couldn't have been that bad.

Dad, I'm bailing.

If any of my friends see violet on my team

I'll be a kook for life.

Honey, remember, it's just a game.

That we're going to win.

Otto...

Whatever.

Tomorrow, I'm breaking it off with mrs. "Buns of steel."

[Sighs]

[Skateboard rumbling]

Reggie: mrs. Stimpleton?

I wanted to talk to you

Before everything gets going.

And I wanted to talk to you.

You did?

I was going to wait

But I just couldn't.

It's a friendship bracelet I've had

Ever since I was a little girl.

I want you to have it.

I guess this make us both rocket girls.

Oh...

I... Um...

Thanks, mrs. Stimpleton.

This is... Really nice.

Teaming up with you means so much to me.

You really make me feel like a youngster again.

Now, what was it

You wanted to talk about?

Just wanted to tell you

How much fun we're going to have.

Welcome to ocean shore's family fun day.

We have a great turnout, so without much further ado

Let's start off with the water-balloon-slime toss.

Go, violet! Go, violet!

Go! Go! Go!

[Blows whistle]

[Onlookers cheering]

Catch!

[Giggles merrily]

Ooh, darn sun.

Did you throw it yet?

[Groans]

I've got it!

Ah!

Rocket boy, I'm open, I'm open!

Sorry, dad.

Heads up, uh...

Dad.

[Humming to himself]

Heads up, father

Of twister and lars!

Oh, yeah, uh, come to papa.

Whoa. Whoa. Whoa.

Oh, yeah.

Go on, twister's dad.

It's my birthday, it's my birthday!

Next up, the "pie's the limit egg race."

[Garbled muttering]

Announcer: remember the rule: after you make it across the field

Your partner takes the egg and the pie

And comes all the way back.

Ready? Here we go.

[Blows whistle]

[All cheering on contestants]

Okay, doing good.

Watch it!

Easy...

Otto: that's it, raymundo.

Keep it straight.

You're doing great.

Steady... Now left.

Left, left!

I mean right.

Uh, uh, uh!

[Giggles]

Oh, are you all right, dear?

What's the matter?

I don't like to lose.

Oh, honey

You can never lose if you're having fun.

[Groans]

. Degrees east, mom.

Got it!

All right, raymundo!

Right?

Raymundo!

No!

[Ray groans, egg breaks]

We won!

Mom, you're awesome.

Where'd you think you got it from, sammy?

Everyone in position for the final event.

That's us, reggie, dear.

Oh, you know, mrs. Stimpleton

I'm not sure I'm up for another event.

What do you mean?

You haven't given up, have you?

But we'll never win.

We're too far behind in the standings.

Honey, let's just forget the scores.

Forget the scores?

Well, sure.

Don't let the unpleasant things ruin your good time.

Come on, violet.

Get in the game!

[Growls]

You're the expert.

All right, time at last for the scoop-the-hoop challenge.

Are you ready?

[Whistle blows]

[Gasps]

Oop!

[Gasps]

Two... Three... Four.

Hey, wait...

Whoa... Whoa!

Ah!

Announcer: how about it, guys?

[Grunting]

You rule, mrs. Stimpleton!

Hula-hoop state champ, !

Way to go, violet!

[Growls]

Announcer: now, ladies and gentlemen

It's time for the awards, yes!

Third prize in today's event

Goes to twister rodriguez and his...

Twister's dad, too.

Yeah! Whoo!

Huh! Yeah!

Lars: oops.

The second-place trophy

Goes to paula and sam dullard.

[Both gasp]

Number two!

Two! Two! Two!

And the first-place trophy

And this fabulous wave bike goes to...

Violet stimpleton and reggie rocket!

[Crowd cheering]

[Growls softly]

Huh? Huh?

So, like, am I ever going to get a chance to try it?

Wait your turn like everybody else.

No cutsies in line.

Whoo-hoo!

Whoo-hoo-hoo-hoo!

Wee-hoo!

[Giggling]

[Phone rings]

[Deep breathing]

[Footsteps clumping]

Telephone for you, honey.

But I'm late for practice.

It's...

Your father.

Hey, dad!

What's up, big guy?

Hey, sammy, hello from kansas!

How's my little guy doing?

I'm doing great.

I'm going to practice hockey.

Did I tell you I'm the goalie?

Listen, little guy, I'm coming to visit tomorrow.

Feel like spending some quality time with your old man?

Oh, yeah! That'd be great, dad!

You'll meet my friends, and maybe you and I can go out.

Just you and me, sammy.

No interruptions.

[Beeping]

I'll see you tomorrow.

Hey, dad, you can watch me play hockey!

[Dial tone]

Dad's coming.

He said it'll just be me and him.

Mm-hmm... That sounds familiar.

I'm sure you'll have fun, sam.

Hey, my dad's coming to visit.

That's cool, sammy.

Does he surf?

If he does, he probably sinks.

Wait'll he finds out I've become a top-notch hockey player.

Have any of you hooligans seen my...

[Grunts]

[Groaning]

Trash receptacle?

Here you go.

[Groaning angrily]

Honey?

Time for bed, sam.

I made a model pretensia for dad

For his new advertising campaign.

It's made out of soda cans

And a pair of old flip-flops.

It's beautiful, dear.

He's going to love it.

It's like the models we used to make, remember?

I sure do, honey.

I'm so excited about seeing dad tomorrow.

I hope I can sleep.

Don't get too excited.

Mom, I haven't had any liquid since dinner.

Good night.

[Sighs softly]

Red alert, dad!

Health inspector!

No, you guys, this is my dad.

Sammy, you were joshing me.

Your friends are much cooler

Than you said they were.

This is otto, reggie and maurice.

The name's twister.

Yo, what's up?

Pleased to meet you.

Dad, this is mr. Rocket.

Doug dullard.

How you doing?

Ever seen a pretensia?

I created the whole advertising campaign.

What are you driving?

I drive a ' mercruiser woody wagon.

Why?

And this is tito makani.

Hello, tito.

Or should I say "aloha"?

Dad, we better get going.

My dad's taking me

To whooshing waters, laser crater

And snow mart.

My dad only takes me to the dentist.

Idea!

Why don't all you rad dudes come with us?

I guarantee it'll be more fun than the dentist.

You don't mind, do you, sam?

I thought it was just you and me.

The more, the merrier, right, guys?

Kids: yeah!

I guess you're right.

What about our barbecue this afternoon?

Dad...!

Whooshing waters?

Laser crater?

Snow mart?

Please, can't we go?

Have a good time.

Dad, can we go now?

You got it, sammy.

Let's hit the trail.

Time's a-wastin'.

Guy just waltzes in

Gets my kids all riled up

Sweeps them out to fun city!

Barbecues are plenty fun, too.

Remember what the ancient hawaiians say--

Luana he luau.

Ain't it the truth!

Wait, what does that mean?

More barbecue for us, brother.

Whoa...!

[Screaming]

Whoa, all right!

Reggie: yes! Come on!

[Both yelling]

[Gulps]

Whoa, pretty high up, huh?

Lots of twists, huh?

Aren't you coming?

[Phone rings]

Go ahead without me.

I'll meet you at the bottom.

Dullard.

No, no, no, no, no, no, no!

The commercial needs to be in first position

After the bumper andbillboard!

Next up, let's go.

We need a partner for this little kid.

[Yelling]

Yo, dougmundo!

You really know how to have fun.

Who would have thought you were the squid's dad?

Squid?

What's that mean?

It means I'm the new guy.

I guess that makes me the giant squid, right?

[Kids laugh]

Having fun, little guy?

I guess... But you didn't even get wet.

No, but I did save a couple million dollars

In misplaced commercial time.

Your dad's a hero, huh?

Who's ready for laser crater?!

[Boys yelling]

[Car engine starts up]

Sam: the giant squid

Is a master of camouflage

But the hunter squid is confident.

[Both yell]

Squid, I almost phased you back to the planet dorkon.

Have you seen my dad?

He went that way.

Now, take off

Before otto and reggie find us together.

[Phaser zapping]

Otto: got you, alien scum!

[Laughing]

Reggie: the prisoner's escaping!

[Gasps]

Maybe he's calling back to planet dorkon

For reinforcements.

No.

He's just doing business.

That's a cool model.

Did you make that?

Yeah, for my dad.

He seems like a really nice guy.

He is... When he's not busy.

[Kids talking excitedly]

Squid, we've taken a vote.

Otto:yeah.

We've decided your dad

Is officially the coolest older dude on earth.

Come on...

You younger dudes!

I get my coolness from this guy.

[Breaks wind]

He's joking, right?

[Sniffs]

Hey, you kids smell that?

Don't look at me!

[Car starts up]

It's the sweet smell

Of brand-new sporting goods at snow mart!

Phew!

[Groaning]

Phew!

[Nails squeaking]

[Screams]

I found some blades your dad's size.

Cool! I set up a goal in aisle six

So I can show him what a great goalie I am.

Where is he?

Dad [in distance]: ten percent!

You're k*lling me!

An idea?

Put him on the phone, sir.

I'll set things straight.

[Groans in frustration]

Come on, sam, you and I can practice.

So, uh, sam's old man

Really showed you guys a good time, huh?

It was great!

He's so cool.

Laser crater was awesome!

He didn't pay a whole lot of attention to sammy.

Neither do i.

Mr. Dullard was on his cell phone

Or his laptop the whole time

And then rushed back to his hotel to check his messages.

He barely said good-bye to sam.

Sounds like sam's dad

Hasn't got his priorities in line.

He is kind of cool, though.

He bought us all new blades.

He even bought himself a pair.

The ancient hawaiians say

"Just because you can afford the modern longboard

Doesn't mean you can honor the moving water."

What does that mean?

It means actions are more important

Than just things.

How comeshe understands tito?

Don't sweat it, pop.

I'll bet mr. Dullard can't slop down beef ribs like you.

Do you mean what I think you mean?

We sure do, dad!

In that case, hold on to your seat belts.

It's barbecue city, baby!

[Crash]

No skating in the lobby.

Could you ring mr. Dullard's room?

Sure.

[Tones beeping]

[Line pulses busy]

Line's busy.

If you want to take off your skates and wait

I can try again later.

Could you just give him this?

[Knock at door]

The tag line needs more pizzazz.

Give me the night.

I'll write you new ones.

Whoa.

I'll, uh, call you back.

Sammy, you okay?

Hello!

Sammy, you with us?

Goal! Goal! Goal!

Can it, maurice.

Huh? What?

Oh, sorry.

This is great, little g... Sammy.

Thanks, dad.

Hey, dougmundo!

Shh!

Hi, twister, otto, reggie.

What are you up to, son?

Just practicing for a big game.

You know what I'd like to do right now?

What?

Whatever you'd like to do.

Really?

But what if someone calls you?

You mean it?

I mean it.

Hey!

What about us?

Twister!

[Groans]

Just get in the goal.

Otto?

Target practice?

You bet!

[Phone ringing]

[Both laughing]

[Phone continues ringing]

Ray: pass the cheese monkeys, otto.
