- Are we there, yet? - Almost.
Wait, we're not doing that "blindfolded surfing" thing again, are we?
'Cause that didn't exactly end up being one of your better ideas.
First of all, that buoy had no business being there.
Second of all, no, we're not going surfing.
At least, not yet.
Okay. Do you recognize it?
- No. - No?
Unless it's the grassy clearing in Dolphin's Cove,
right by the lifeguard tower,
which happens to be the exact spot we met three months ago to this day.
To the minute, actually.
(CHUCKLES)
At the beginning of what's turned out to be
the most bodacious summer of my life.
Even the part when we got trapped in a 1960s beach movie.
Brady, it's beautiful.
I had to do something cool for our meet-iversary.
It all happened right here. You were walking on the beach.
I sat there watching Wet Side Story on my tablet.
And I thought, "Who is the surfer dude with the shiny hair?"
And you said...
"Wanna watch the awesomest movie ever made?"
(CHUCKLES) And I said, "I don't think awesomest is a real word.
"And even if it was, that movie's definitely not it."
Then I said, "Check it out with me.
"If you don't have a good time, I'll buy you a mango smoothie.
"Either way, you win."
- And... - And I do love mangos.
Yeah.
You did all this for me?
I'd swim to China for you.
Or Hawaii.
Or whatever's that way. I have no idea what's that way.
You ready?
Mmm-hmm.
(EXHALES)
TANNER ON VIDEO: In a way, it's almost too bad it's almost all over.
BOTH: (SINGING) Sad to say our time's come to an end
ALL: Time's come to an end
But it's just goodbye
Until we do it all again
A one, two, three, four.
Five, six, seven, eight.
Crazy how we got this chemistry
Crashing like a wave of energy
Have you heard, it's a fact
Ah-ah-opposites attract
Some cats like that vroom vroom need for speed
BOTH: And some dawgs like that chill, chill ocean breeze
But in the sun, it's a party
You and me and everybody
It's been the best summer ever
Wheels and waves, surf and shades
The best summer ever
Rockin' every night and day
Like shakes and fries, wet and dry
It all adds up to feeling like
The best summer ever
Best summer ever
Whoo!
You's the gas that makes my motor run
Yeah.
And you might be the bubble to my gum
Who'd have thought we could ever
Rev it when we get together
It's been the best summer ever
Wheels and waves, surf and shades
The best summer ever
Rockin' every night and day
Like shakes and fries, wet and dry
It all adds up to feeling like
The best summer ever
Best summer ever
Whoo!
Thought it's cool to own the beach alone
(SQUEALS)
But it's hotter Electric when we're close
Guess it's true, life's not a solo ride
Just dive in
The sparks are gonna fly
One, two, three, four.
- (EXCLAIMS) - (GIGGLES)
We can't stop singing 'cause the surf's up
It's meant to be, it's meant to be
I'm falling for ya 'cause you're surf crazy
Just like me, just like me
We're cruising, cruising
Cruising for a yeah
Bike or board, grab your gear
Meet you right back here next year
We'll have the best summer ever
Wheels and waves, surf and shades
The best summer ever
Rockin' every night and day
Like shakes and fries, wet and dry
It all adds up to feeling like
The best summer ever
Best summer ever
- Bye-bye. - So long.
Toodle-oo.
Later gator.
- Sayonara. - Hasta lasagna.
Hasta luego.
- Aloha. - Shalom.
- Au revoir. - Ciao.
Best summer ever
BRADY: Hurry up. The best summer ever!
MACK: Race you!
Oh, it's a shame summers in real life have to end.
Summer's not over, yet.
We could light a bonfire, eat some s'mores, tell scary stories.
We could...
Brady, tomorrow's the first day of school.
I've got tons to do.
Yeah, I do, too.
Actually, no, I don't.
If I manage to put my board shorts on tomorrow morning,
I'll be pretty stoked with myself.
(LAUGHS)
(CHUCKLES)
Mack, you think things will be different for us at school?
Well, we were in school all last year together.
And we never met. That's my point.
We've only known each other in the summer.
Brady, it's us. We'll be fine.
(CHUCKLES)
Yeah. Totally.
(SIGHS)
No. No, no, no, no, no, no. No.
What's wrong?
My necklace. The one that Lela gave me.
The only thing I have from Wet Side Story.
- It's gone. - Maybe it's still nearby.
- Should I dive for it? - No, Brady.
There's nothing we can do now.
I'm sorry.
I should probably go in.
Yeah. Sure.
(SCHOOL BELL RINGING)
(POP MUSIC PLAYING)
(WHOOPING)
DEVON: Whoo!
(LAUGHING)
Whoo! Windy Bluff! Yeah!
First day back!
Oh, no way!
(LAUGHS)
(BRADY YELLING)
Yo, dude-man!
First day of school.
(BOTH SCREAMING)
(BOTH GASPING)
(CONTINUE SCREAMING)
(BOTH LAUGHING)
Wham, wham. Bap, bap. Boom.
BOTH: Whoo!
Yeah.
Hey. Whoo!
Sha... Bah!
Dude, how was Indonesia?
Oh, man, the swells were nectar. Primo pearls, my hombre.
The waves were all like, "Muuma." And I was like, "Bra!"
I was a one-man stoke machine all summer long.
- Oh, mondo, dude. - Beyond mondo, bro. Beyond mondo.
How was your summer? You spend some quality time carving up the tubes?
I met a girl.
- No way. You trapped a honey? - Yeah.
- Is she a super-chill surf chick? - Yeah, well, yeah, she surfs.
- So, she's one of us? Laid back? - Yeah, she's laid back.
On occasion. When she sleeps. Probably.
Excellent.
I can't wait to meet your little beach bunny.
Yeah, I mean, just... I wouldn't call her that, exactly.
Right on, bro. Right on.
Three-pointer! (LAUGHS)
Oh, oh.
- Let's go. - (SCHOOL BELL RINGING)
MACK: Welcome back, everyone.
Big Save the Beach Dance this weekend.
Buy a ticket, save a seal.
Oh, come on. Who doesn't love seals? Well, sharks, but they don't like anyone.
- Mack! - (LAUGHS)
- Hey, how was your summer? - Oh, beyond.
Science camp was epic, the college tour was fab,
and don't even get me started on the student government conference.
I'm so glad you came back this year.
I don't know what I would've done if I'd lost you to that prep school.
Yeah, I'm glad I'm back, too.
- Oh, here. - Ooh. What's this?
Uh, well, I made a deal with myself.
If I'm staying here, I'm doing things that are important to me.
So, I started an oceanography club.
Which is super-convenient since our school is literally on the ocean.
Super cool. Sign me up. Oh! I have news.
Guess who I hung out with at the student government conference?
Spencer Watkins.
The literally cutest guy in school.
BRADY: Mack.
- Brady. Hi. - Hey.
Oh, you're wearing flip-flops to school.
Yeah, totally. They're my fancy ones.
- (CHUCKLES) - Oh.
This is my bro, Devon. Devon, this is my girlfriend, Mack.
- This is your girlfriend? - This is your boyfriend?
- You seem surprised. - Oh, no, bro. It's cool.
Book-bag. It looks very full of books.
And he doesn't seem to have a bag, at all.
I do not have a bag. I do, however, have a pen.
- (LAUGHS) - How long has that been in there?
- (MUFFLED) Want some? - Why not?
So, I'll see you later?
- Yeah, during break? - Can't. French study group.
- Uh, lunch? - Calculus study group.
After school?
Oceanography club dance subcommittee meeting.
- How's Easter looking for you? - (CHUCKLES)
- (SCHOOL BELL RINGING) - Oh, um...
We have marine biology together, right? Third period?
- So, I'll see you then. - Sure, yeah. Cool.
- Okay. - All right.
Mack seems super cool, bro.
Yeah, yeah. She is.
I mean, she went right to class when the bell rang.
Different.
But, to each their own.
Mmm.
What's up, my pucker-faced little buddy?
(CLEARS THROAT)
Sorry.
No.
- Hey. - Hey.
- What you working on? - (STAMMERS) Nothing.
Okay.
- This is fantastic. - (BOTTLES CLINKING)
Mack! I got all the good stuff. Score!
I'm gonna go fire up the centrifuge. Oh.
Spencer.
Wow. Hi.
You look great.
Really, really great. Super great. Perfect, even.
- Uh, thanks, Alyssa, I appreciate it. - (BOTTLES SHATTERING)
(ALYSSA SCREAMING)
So, Mack, uh, I'm happy that you're in this class.
I heard that you started an oceanography club.
I'm chairing the environmental studies society.
Really? I wanted to talk to you guys.
I thought we could work together on shoreline watershed issues.
Yes. And maybe an emphasis on habitat restoration and marine pollution.
Oh, I love pollution. I mean, I don't love pollution.
- But it's an important issue. - Yeah.
Uh, I'm also the head of a club.
It's the, uh, surf club.
You just hang out and surf.
Spencer, this is Brady. (GIGGLES)
Brady, it's... I've seen you surf.
You're amazing, man. It's a pleasure to meet you.
- Uh... - Um...
Right, yeah.
(FORCED LAUGHTER)
- Centrifuge. - Check.
- Methylene blue dye. - Check.
- Cultured Petri dish. - Check.
Begin inoculation. Let's dilute those solvents. Whoo!
Whoa. Cool.
Here we've got some weird, tube-y thing.
A squeezy-sponge. Some wet stuff.
And a blue, creepy glove.
- Oh, you think? - Yeah.
Thanks. I've always loved biology, and the ocean.
Hey, uh, have you checked out
the new oceanography program at Oregon Coastal College?
You get to spend half a year on a ship at sea.
- (GASPS) - I could introduce you to the rep.
That'd be amazing.
Brady.
Hola.
You okay, my man?
Yeah, yeah, I'm good. Totally.
All right, well, let's do this.
What?
(LAUGHS) I made a volcano!
- Uh, uh... - That's so sick.
Oh, gnarly. Dude, look at this. What?
Oh, my gosh.
Mack! Mack!
- Hey. - MACK: Hey.
Oh, hey, before I forget. What do you think of this?
I'm gonna sell them at the Save the Beach Dance.
- I dig it. - Good, 'cause I got you, like, eight.
- (CHUCKLES) - Wow.
I'm gonna need a bigger wrist. Thanks.
Hey, there's a big swell on. Wanna go surfing?
Uh, that sounds awesome, but I can't.
The dance is this weekend, and we are totally behind schedule.
Oh, speaking of, I had the coolest idea.
What if the dance was a '60s Wet Side Story theme party?
You could do it at the beach. People could dress up in costumes.
You could even project the movie on a big 1960s-type theater deal.
- That would be really cool. - Right?
But there's just no time.
And, as much as I love Wet Side Story,
you and I are, like, the only people under 50 that have ever heard of it.
(CHUCKLES)
Yeah, you're probably right.
Oh, the college fair, later. You're going with me, right?
Right. Yeah. Uh-huh.
Brady, this is important. It's college. It's our future.
And there's this amazing oceanography program
that I have to check out.
Yes, of course. I'll be there.
- In actual shoes? - Sure. (CHUCKLES)
- Okay. - Yeah. See you.
Bye.
Guess I'll go surf by myself.
- Brady. - Hey, bro.
Whoa.
Okay. Universal online college application.
Hmm. "What personal attributes uniquely qualify you
"as an extraordinary applicant?"
Are you kidding me?
(SIGHS)
(SINGING)
(SOFT SCRAPING)
(SIGHS)
Let's see. Deeper bottom curve, better on steep waves.
How do you increase water displacement, so it rides smoother?
- Hey, Mom. - How's that going?
It's going. Slowly. Very slowly.
Mmm.
Wow. How's that going?
It's going. I mean, I've opened it up. I've stared at it.
Mmm.
Well, don't stress yourself out too much.
Yeah.
It's just, everyone seems so focused.
They've got their whole lives mapped out. Like Mack.
She knows where she wants to go, what she wants to do.
And I... And I don't even know what I want for dinner.
Things were a little rough with you two back at school, today?
No.
Okay, maybe.
Yeah.
Have you seen my brown marker? I can't find it.
Oh!
(CHUCKLES)
I'm sure things are gonna work out between you two.
Okay?
- And bring these wet towels downstairs. - Sure, Mom.
Dinner's back at the house at 6:00.
BUTCHY: So, Tanner, is you's and me's ready
to disarm the diabolical weather machine now?
You bet, daddio. Ready is my middle name.
Ready! It's his middle name.
I thought Lewis was your middle name.
It is Lewis, but it's also Ready. 'Cause that's what I was born.
- Ready. - Ready! From the moment he was born.
Don't go, Tanner. It's so dangerous.
Don't worry.
- Danger is also my middle name. - Mmm-hmm.
I think. Along with Ready and Lewis. (CHUCKLES)
That is a very long name.
(GIGGLES)
Okay, Tanner.
(INDISTINCT MURMURS)
I'll just wait right here for you, and...
Well, actually, why don't I come, too?
Oh.
Uh...
What?
- Why don't I come with you? - (ALL GASPING)
I mean, all that happens when you guys go off
is we stand here and do nothing.
Maybe I can help.
GIRL: What?
Uh, just one... Excuse us. (LAUGHS)
Um...
(LOW) But girls aren't supposed to.
Right. I'm sorry.
I don't know where that came from. Forget about it.
- (ALL LAUGHING) - (CLEARS THROAT)
(PANTING)
Okay.
Go, Tanner. Be safe.
Be brave.
(VOICE BREAKING) You're my hero.
(SIGHS)
Let's go!
(ALL CHEERING)
GIRL 1: Come back soon! GIRL 2: So brave.
(SCOFFS)
- (THUNDER RUMBLING) - (INAUDIBLE)
- No! - (ROCK MUSIC PLAYING)
No, no.
Yes!
(GASPS) No!
Thanks, Grandma.
(GRUNTING)
Grandma?
Yes.
What? Oh.
Yes. Whoo!
(THUNDER RUMBLING)
- Thank you so much for talking to me. - A pleasure.
It was great meeting you, Mack. I hope you'll apply.
- Nice meeting you, too. - You, too.
You're right. This program is awesome.
- I knew you'd love it. - BRADY: Mack.
What's going on?
Brady, it's already over. Where were you?
Listen, uh, I better be going.
In case you need it.
I will see you guys tomorrow.
BRADY: You know, you could've at least shot me a text.
- I did. - No, you didn't.
- Twelve. Yeah, check your phone. - What?
(SIGHS)
Is it too much for you to take one thing seriously?
- At least, I take us seriously. - What?
I take us seriously.
You were 45 minutes late. What were you doing?
Did you just forget?
I was... It was nothing.
- Nothing? - Something.
I don't wanna talk about it.
Well, you won't even tell me why you stood me up?
Brady, we used to tell each other everything.
- What is happening with us? - Well, you tell me.
It's almost like the school-you wants nothing to do with me.
This coming from the school-you that keeps secrets and flakes out on me.
Well, maybe we just don't work at school.
- Maybe we don't. - Awesome.
Awesome.
So, I'll see you next summer, which, apparently, is the next time you're free.
- Fine by me. - Great.
That's just awesome.
BRADY: (SINGING) It almost feels like it was just a dream
All these memories of you and me
Blown away in the summer breeze
It almost feels like we just never were
All that time we spent was just a blur
Now it's just me and a melody
So what am I supposed to do?
'Cause all these plans we made in the sand are through
Without you I'm on my own
Am I gonna be alone?
And if it's only me myself and I Will I be fine?
So far from home
And I just don't know Am I gonna make it?
Brave enough to take this road out on my own?
And maybe I'm falling on my face
Or maybe I'm landing in my place
And maybe we're a million miles apart
Or maybe we're standing heart to heart
But no matter what I'm walking right off this stage
And never looking back Looking back to yesterday
No way
I'm on my own
Yeah, yeah, yeah
As long as I got me myself and I I'm doing fine
So far from home
But now I know that I am gonna make it
Brave enough to take this road out on my own
It almost feels like it was just a dream
All these memories of you and me
(SIGHS)
LELA: (SINGING ON TV) I'm not the kind
To fall for a guy
Who flashes a smile
It goes on for miles
Don't usually swoon
But I'm over the moon
'Cause he was just too cool for school
And now I'm...
Falling for you
Nice of you to drop in.
I guess I literally fell for you, huh?
Falling for you Falling for you
I'm Lela.
I'm sorry, I can't do this. Put me down.
(CRASHING)
LELA: Oh! CHEECHEE: Whoa!
(GASPS)
Uh, Lela.
(CHUCKLES)
- What are you doing? - I don't know.
This whole thing, I can't do it anymore.
It's not you, Tanner. You're a great guy, but...
Of course, I am.
I have to go.
(ALL EXCLAIMING)
Where is she going?
(FORCED LAUGH)
Okay.
Excuse me, guys. Excuse me. Sorry. (LAUGHS)
(DOOR CLOSES)
Lela.
(PANTING)
What's going on?
What are we doing?
It's very windy and not good for my hair.
Ever since Mack and Brady came, I have felt different.
Mack wasn't like any girl I ever knew. She inspired me. I...
- I miss her. - I miss her, too.
And Brady. They were swell.
But, uh, they're not here anymore.
- I want to be like her, Tanner. - What?
Try new things. Experience new experiences.
What is that?
(GASPS)
Tanner, look. Do you know what this is?
Uh...
A necklace.
I gave it to Mack.
And it came back to me here, now. Don't you see? It's a sign.
It really looks like a necklace.
This means she's out there, somewhere.
I need to be where she is.
Goodbye, Tanner.
What?
Oh.
Goodbye, Bikers.
Good bye, Surfers.
Goodbye, people always standing around in the background,
who never speak, whose names I don't know.
(WHIMPERS)
- (BABBLING) - (ALL EXCLAIMING)
We gotta stop her, right?
Yeah, I mean, we definitely could.
But water makes me a little bit nervous.
- What? - I know.
Maybe we should sing a song. That usually fixes everything.
(SINGING) I'm falling for...
No, no.
Uh, maybe I'll talk in my low voice.
(IN LOW VOICE) Lela, come back.
Yeah, maybe I'd save the low voice for someone who can actually hear you.
She's already in the ocean.
(WHIMPERING)
Oh, where's they goin's?
Lela! (WHIMPERS)
(ALL EXCLAIMING)
(ALL GASPING)
(SEAGULLS SQUAWKING)
LELA: Jeepers.
(GASPS)
TANNER: Oh, my.
Tanner. What are you doing here?
I don't know. (LAUGHS)
Hey, are you okay? I'm okay.
It's a little hot outside. I don't know what to do.
- Where are we? (GASPS) - Tanner.
Why is it so hot outside?
- Tanner. - What?
Oh, my.
LELA: Oh!
Well, jeepers.
LELA: Oh!
MAN 1: Let's get our boards. MAN 2: All right!
Those fellas are made of rubber!
Oh, golly.
(ELECTRIC GUITAR PLAYING)
(EXCLAIMING)
(WINDSURFER WHOOPING)
Jeepers.
Is that Big Momma's?
Huh? No, it's, uh, Billy's Beach Burgers and...
Sha...
Shushi.
- What's a shushi? Where are we? - I don't know. We... Oh!
- Excuse me. - Hey.
What's happening?
Oh, so much.
So, we went into the water and then came out of the water,
and now it's daytime,
and we saw rubber people, and boat cycles, and it's...
I think we're lost.
Here. Use my phone.
(BEEPING)
FEMALE AUTOMATED VOICE: I didn't quite get that.
The little box just spoke to us.
- (CHIMES) - (LAUGHS)
Wow! How'd I get in there?
Hi, small me. Looking good.
Tanner, are we here?
Did we make it? Are we in Mack's world?
- We come to your world in peace. - (CELL PHONE CHIMES)
FEMALE AUTOMATED VOICE: What was that, again?
Hello, lady in the little box.
FEMALE AUTOMATED VOICE: Who? Me?
- 'Sup, bro? - Hey, Brady.
I thought we weren't supposed to see each other until next summer.
I'm just going surfing.
- I'm just cleaning the beach. - Of course.
You're cleaning the beach in my favorite surf spot. (GRUNTS)
Your surf spot happens to be where there's a lot of trash.
What's that supposed to mean?
It means that there's a lot of actual trash here, and I'm cleaning it up.
Mack, what?
Brady, would you think I was crazy
if I told you that two people that look exactly like Lela and Tanner
are walking towards us on this beach?
(BOTH LAUGHING)
Hey!
Lela! Tanner!
Lela, Tanner!
Tanner!
(ALL EXCLAIMING)
Lela!
Mack, Mack, Mack!
Can we take a second and realize that they are actually here?
Wait, yes. Okay. Wow. You are here. With us.
Why? How?
I found the necklace.
I lost the necklace in the ocean.
And it floated back to me. I knew it was a sign.
I had to find you.
So, I carried the necklace out into the water,
questioning my whole existence.
And I didn't question anything.
LELA: And the next thing we knew, well, here we are.
Oh, uh, I have one quick question. Um...
Where, exactly, is here?
- Oh, we're on the beach, silly. - Oh, right.
But, like, what country are we in?
Uh...
- Let's just say we're in the future. - TANNER: The future?
Like, it's already tomorrow, today?
A few days past tomorrow.
(CHUCKLES)
Cool.
Cool?
Tanner, that is way cooler than cool.
It's... (LAUGHING)
Hold on. (GIGGLES)
Take a look around at this amazing place
I don't know if it's Earth or if it's outer space
Wherever we are It's clear to me
That this is right where I wanna be
Take a look around at this amazing world
Where you can do it all even if you're a girl
Imagine the possibilities
Yeah, this is right where I wanna be
- This is right where I wanna be - This is right where I wanna be
- I can't think of anywhere better - I can't think of anywhere better
- Right where I wanna be - Right where I wanna be
- I wanna stay here forever and ever - I wanna stay here forever and ever
I think I'm gonna love it here because it seems
Like the kind of place where I can follow my dreams
- This little thing talks back to me - (CHIMES)
FEMALE AUTOMATED VOICE: Sorry, I didn't get that.
This is right where I wanna be
- This is right where I wanna be - This is right where I wanna be
- I can't think of anywhere better - I can't think of anywhere better
- Right where I wanna be - Right where I wanna be
- I'm gonna stay here forever and ever - I'm gonna stay here forever and ever
- And ever and ever - And ever and ever
(BOTH SCATTING)
The more I see the more I just can't get enough
There's so much to learn
And so much fun cool stuff
We seem to fit in here perfectly
- And this is right where we wanna be - And this is right where we wanna be
- This is right where I wanna be - This is right where I wanna be
- I can't think of anywhere better - I can't think of anywhere better
- Right where I wanna be - Right where I wanna be
- We're gonna stay right here - We're gonna stay right here
- Forever and ever - Forever and ever
Forever and ever
- Forever and ever - (LAUGHING)
- Forever - Forever and ever
BRADY: Hey, wait up.
Do do do, do do
And I don't think I ever wanna leave.
Come on, Tanner.
Let's take a walk down this crazy beach of tomorrow.
(LAUGHS) Yeah.
(BOTH SIGHING)
It's pretty great that they're here.
You know, it's a little weird, and kind of impossible,
but I did miss them.
Brady, what are we gonna do with them?
I mean, they're from 1962. They could get in some serious trouble.
- Come on. Lela and Tanner? - Yeah.
What could they possibly...
- TANNER: On. (GASPS) - (LELA GIGGLES)
Off!
On.
Off again!
On again.
Yeah. What are we gonna do with them?
TANNER: Off again.
(LELA GIGGLING)
TANNER: On again! Off again!
Brady, is it just me, or is their hair totally dry?
Yes, it's completely dry, just like when they surf in the movie.
TANNER: On again! Off again!
On again!
(BOTH LAUGHING)
Remember what happened to us when we got stuck in their world?
We almost zapped out of existence.
- We've gotta get them home. - I know.
(SIGHS) We should just tell them the truth.
You know, they're made up characters in a 1962 beach movie.
What... That's gonna blow their minds.
(SIGHS) Oh, you're right.
- They can't handle that. - No.
Well, then maybe
we just show them that our world isn't as great as they think it is,
so, they want to go back.
Yeah, then they'll take the necklace in the ocean,
- and, boom, they're home. - Exactly.
- Hey, where does the record go? - (POP MUSIC PLAYING)
No, I know this technology stuff can be really complicated.
(UPBEAT MUSIC PLAYING)
So, if you're gonna come to school with me,
we should probably make you look a little less like you.
You're about my size.
I get to wear your clothes?
Well, sure. (CHUCKLES)
Yeah, there's a ton of stuff in my wardrobe.
Just pick something not too flashy.
Ooh! Goody.
Hmm. (GASPS)
Mmm.
Is this out of sight on me, or what?
- Yeah. Totally out of sight. - (GIGGLES)
(SINGING) I'm gonna look so out of sight
I'm gonna look just like Mack
I'm gonna look so out of sight
- Oh, I love this song. - (POP MUSIC PLAYING)
Uh...
Okay. Well, that's impossible.
You look good. Try this.
Ooh.
Pink.
I love it.
- We're back in the '60s. - Ooh. (GIGGLES)
Uh...
Whoa.
So, you ready for school?
Great.
Just make sure no one knows where you're from.
(SQUEAKING)
(SIGHS)
(LAUGHS)
BUTCHY: All right, bring it in, everybody.
We needs to talk,
'cause I'm feeling a little lost here, peoples.
Ever since Tanner and Lela just walked off into the ocean,
I got this sense that things are supposed to be happening.
It just ain't happening.
We could rumble.
That usually cheers you up.
You know what, I does love a good rumble.
(ALL GASPING)
But, no, that's not what's supposed to be happening, right now. I...
You know what? Maybe somebody should sing something.
Maybe like Lela would've done if she was here.
I thought you'd never...
- (GRUNTS) - Cheechee.
Mmm?
Sing something.
But I'm doing my nails.
(SIGHS)
Oh.
(EXCLAIMS)
- (SWITCH CLICKS) - Oh!
All right, I'll sing.
(VIBRATES)
Falling for ya, falling for ya
Can't hold on any longer
And now I'm falling for you
Five, six, seven, eight!
What?
(GRUNTS)
The day started ordinary
Boys walking by
Walking by
It was the same old story
Too fresh or too shy
Or too shy
I'm not the kind To fall for a guy
Who flashes a smile
It goes on for miles
Don't usually swoon But I'm over the moon
'Cause he was just too cool for school
- And now I'm falling - For ya
- Falling - For ya
I know I shouldn't But I, I just can't stop myself
- Falling - For ya
Can't hold on any longer
And now I'm falling for you
- Whoa! - (ALL GRUNTING)
(SCREAMS)
Now we're going steady
She's the cat's meow
Meow, meow, meow, meow, meow
She says, ready, Freddy
And we paint the town
Paint the town
I'm not the kind To fall for a guy
Just 'cause he says hi
When he's cruising by
He's ready to race
And I'm catching his gaze
And we'll go on like this for days
- And now I'm falling - For ya
- Falling - For ya
I know I shouldn't, but I
- I just can't stop myself from - (EXCLAIMS)
- Falling - For ya
Can't hold on any longer
- And now I'm falling for you - (FEEDBACK)
Feels like I tumbled from another world
Into your arms and it's so secure
Maybe I'll stumble, but I know I can
Head over heels I'm gonna...
- (GRUNTS) - (GIGGLES)
Yeah
Falling
I know I shouldn't, but I
I just can't stop myself from
- Falling - For ya
Can't hold on any longer
And now I'm falling for you
(SCREAMS)
(CRASHING)
BUTCHY: What was that?
What's the matters with yous? I thought you was gonna catch her.
I thought the exact same thing, just not in time.
You're lucky my hair didn't broke.
Yous is right, Butchy. This don't feel right. None of it.
Not one thing.
Does it help if I do this?
You know what, that actually does kind of help.
- That's pretty decent. Yeah. - (ALL AGREEING)
BOY 1: Yeah, that's pretty nice. BOY 2: It's crazy.
BOY 1: You're really good at this.
(INDISTINCT CONVERSATIONS)
Okay, guys. Welcome to school.
So, a few ground rules.
(BOTH EXHALE)
Okay, don't do anything that gives you guys away.
- No hair-wetting. - No clothes-changing.
Oh, that thing that you do with your teeth.
(GASPS) This thing?
Yeah. Don't do that.
- Yeah, and especially, no singing. - No singing.
But look at this place. There's so much to see.
So much to do.
- We could just... - We could just...
- No, no, no, no. - Stop.
(WHISPERS) No singing.
(SIGHS)
- Just one song? - No.
- One verse? - No.
- One word? - No.
Not even if it's from the heart and moves the story along?
No.
(BOTH SCATTING)
- MACK: Don't... - Here, go get Lela.
- Don't... - Oh!
Okay, man, stay close to me, act natural,
and just walk down the hallway, and be cool, okay?
Oh, you got it.
There's one thing I do better than anyone,
and that's walk down a school hallway.
Awesome. Wait... What?
(POP MUSIC PLAYING)
(SINGING) Listen here
You put the rock in my roll with the way you smile
Keep me up on my toes Got me running wild
You got my head going round like a circle spinning
(MOUTHING) Hi.
You make me mad then you give me grinning
Does it ring, ring, ring a bell?
'Cause you know I don't kiss and tell
What have you heard? The rumors are true
That I-I-I-I... I wanna be with you
- I wanna be with you - I wanna be with you
I wanna be with you
You're the one for me
Yeah
(PANTING)
People dig me.
Brady! Greetings, meister-bro.
- Man, what's up? - Chillin'.
Who's this dude?
This is my cousin Dolf, from Iceland.
Iceland. Righteous.
I love that little volcanic archipelago.
I went a couple years ago to surf and it was cold.
Do you know my boy Ólafur Einarsson?
Or Jónsdóttir Gunnarsdotter?
Your hair is very pointy.
(CHUCKLES) Thanks, dude.
It's amazing what you can do with a screwdriver and some surf wax.
I use my own secret mix of coconut juice and rubber cement.
- Rubber cement? - (LAUGHS) Yeah.
Wicked! I love this dude! All right. See you guys.
- (YELLS) - (BOTH LAUGHING)
This place is so neat!
(GRUNTS)
- (SCHOOL BELL RINGING) - (SIGHS)
So, what'd you think of calculus? Pretty brutal, right?
I mean, that's what life's like in the real world.
- Tough classes... - I loved it. It's magical.
The integral accurately gives the area under a formula
while the derivative predicts the instantaneous slope at any point.
It's fantastic. (GIGGLES)
Wow, you really got it, huh?
Oh, who knew learning could be so much fun?
- Mack, hey. - Hey.
Who's... Who's this?
This is, uh, my cousin, Delga, from Finland.
(SPENCER CHUCKLES)
You are so cute.
- (SIGHS) - (CHUCKLES)
Hey, listen, uh, I hope I didn't cause any problems
between you and Brady, yesterday.
Oh, no. No.
Our problems are totally our own.
Fair enough.
Hey, how's the Save the Beach Dance shaping up?
MACK: It's okay. Uh...
We haven't really sold many tickets, so.
Just hoping people will show up.
Oh, I'm sure they will. It's a great cause.
(CHUCKLES)
Great. Well, I'll catch you guys later.
Well, then I hope you have a really big glove.
Oh, so you can catch us.
(CHUCKLES)
Okay.
There's going to be a dance? This world just gets better and better.
Yeah, until your formerly adorable boyfriend
starts acting like a completely different person.
Trust me, Lela, you're better off in your world,
where boys are simple and reliable.
ALYSSA: Mack!
Oh, hi.
Uh, hi.
Uh, this is, um...
Lela.
I'm here to discover who I am and find fulfillment.
A woman that knows what she wants. I like her.
I did my philosophy camp thesis on female self-empowerment.
I can rebuild a motorcycle.
Really?
(STUTTERS) I'm looking into buying a scooter.
I'd love your perspective on engine torque differentials.
Oh, I can go on and on about torque.
ALYSSA: (GIGGLES) Oh. Bye, Mack.
Ugh. It's a disaster.
She loves everything.
Even Mr. Terry's chemistry class.
She titrated her sodium hydroxide perfectly,
and loved the way the resulting solution matched her shoes.
Well, I think I'm wearing down Tanner a little.
Nuggets made out of chicken? Amazing!
(LAUGHING)
- Or not. - (WHINING)
Don't worry, I have a plan.
We turn them loose alone in the most dangerous, confusing,
scary place imaginable.
A place where one false move results in exile, shame, horror.
Wait. Where?
BRADY: The cafeteria.
(BOTH CHUCKLE)
(ALL HISSING)
(ALL LAUGHING)
(ALL BOOING)
(GASPING)
Okay.
Hi, we're new here.
I could care less, spray-tan.
(ALL LAUGHING)
Uh, actually, it's Tanner.
(CHUCKLES) No "Spray", add an "Er". Tanner.
- Tanner Lewis Ready Danger. - Uh...
- Oh, no, I... - Ah...
(BOTH STAMMERING)
Get out of my face. (LAUGHS)
(JOCKS LAUGHING)
(GRUNTS)
Tanner, are you getting the impression
that people here are a little stand-offish and, well, mean-ish?
Right? And angry-ish, too.
Like the Bikers and Surfers, only angry-ish-er.
Why is everyone sitting apart?
Well, come on, everyone. Where's your smile?
(CHUCKLES)
It's so easy anyone can do it.
- It's attached to you, here on your face. - (EXCLAIMS)
There are 43 muscles to use.
(SINGING) Just gotta put 'em in the right place
If we can do it, so can you
Tooth by tooth, row by row
When you let your happy through
Then the whole room starts to glow
Twist that frown upside down
You gotta twist that frown
Up, up, up, upside down
'Cause we're gonna have fun, fun, fun
Turn the feeling around
There's a seat for everyone
You gotta make a smile
Out of a frown right now
Twist it upside down
Up, up, up, upside down right now
Take it from me Don't try to resist
Just go along Don't fight the song
It doesn't get any better than this
Maybe it could, if we all sing along
Twist that frown upside down
You gotta twist that frown
ALL: (SINGING) Up, up, up, upside down
'Cause we're gonna have fun, fun, fun
Turn the feeling around
There's a seat for everyone
You gotta make a smile
Out of a frown right now
Twist it upside down
Up, up, up, upside down right now
I'm really sorry my face hurt your fist.
That's okay. Now, I know you exist.
Hey, haven't I seen you in class?
Yes, every day. This year and last.
It's pretty cool how you wail on the bass.
What's happening to my face?
There's only so much time before the school bell rings
So try it out, that smiling thing
Twist that frown upside down
You gotta twist that frown upside down
You gotta twist that frown
Up, up, up, upside down
'Cause we're gonna have fun, fun, fun
Turn the feeling around
There's a seat for everyone
You gotta make a smile
Out of a frown
You gotta make a smile
Out of a frown
You gotta make a smile
Out of a frown right now
Twist it upside down
We will never speak of this ever again.
(CRYING)
Bye! (LAUGHS)
Okay, what is going on here? It's like we're bored, or something.
We's not bored, Butchy.
- We's confused. - Yeah.
Spit it out.
CHEECHEE: Spit it out.
Spit it out.
Look!
(GRUNTS)
(CROWD EXCLAIMING)
(WHIMPERS)
One of them Surfer guys, who's always standing behind us,
and never says nothing.
- He just up and... - Just sparkled up and vanished!
- Into thin airs! - Like a magician.
Doing a magic trick on himself.
(ALL GASPING)
Dude, you got some bodacious pipes. You totally have to be in my surf band.
I play a gnarlacious didgeridoo.
Thanks! Why are we talking so loudly?
(SCATTING)
Later, my hombre.
See you later? Okay!
Oh, Lela. Hi.
Um... (CLEARS THROAT)
(DEEP VOICE) Wanna hang out? I've been working on some new looks.
Check 'em out.
I call this one, "Thoughtful Handsome."
This one's, "Soulful Smolder."
Those are wonderful, Tanner. But I can't.
We have calculus homework. It's so exciting.
(NORMAL VOICE) Oh.
Oh, okay. Uh, well, have fun.
Without me.
We're further than ever from talking them into going back.
You watch Lela, I'll watch Tanner.
I learned all these new things, and then I was sitting there,
and I'm like, "Hey, why don't I make a new look?"
So, I made a new look, and it was,
"Renegade Rebel," you know? (LAUGHS)
And then... What was the other one? I can't think of what it was.
(CONTINUES LAUGHING)
Oh, yeah.
"Mysterious Wanderer."
And then, uh, "Thinking Guy."
(SCREAMS)
Uh, here. Check this out.
Ooh.
Thanks.
Oh.
Hi, medium-sized me. (LAUGHS)
Still looking good.
Brady, can I talk to you for a second?
Yeah, sure.
Um...
I've been thinking about things.
And I don't normally like to think about things.
(CLEARS THROAT)
You see, I always assumed Lela would just be there for me.
But that night when she ran into the water with her necklace,
it gave me this strange feeling in my stomach.
It felt like...
Like when I drink a milkshake too fast. (CHUCKLES)
It felt like...
Like things
might not work out.
(CHUCKLES)
It's called, "Worry."
Yeah, yeah. That.
And, the thing is, things always work out for me.
But here, now, I still have that feeling.
- Worry? - (SOFTLY) Yeah.
Yeah.
I'm worried that Lela wanted to come to this strange world
because I wasn't enough for her.
(FORCED CHUCKLE)
Yeah.
I mean...
I guess all you can really do is be the best dude you can be
and hope that's enough.
Is that what you do with Mack?
Um...
Not recently, no.
We kind of hit a rough patch.
I've been working on something I haven't told her about yet.
What is it?
Come on.
TANNER: Are these surfboards? BRADY: Yeah.
They're all surfboards, but prototypes.
Like this one. It has rotating fins, so you can surf in any direction.
Or this one. It's one of my favorites.
It's my surfboard suitcase.
So, you fold up your board, put it in your bag,
and it goes up on the carry on, then when you land,
you're ready to surf.
That is so cool!
Yeah.
- Wait. So, you made all this stuff? - Uh-huh.
I've never made anything. What's all this stuff?
This one's crazy.
So, you have two water intakes and that leads to this sealed hydro-turbine
that also goes to an internal, lithium-ion battery.
Then, we have a pneumatic actuator
that's connected to this hatch, that makes it open whenever I want it to.
Uh...
Everything you just said, I have no idea what it means.
(BOTH CHUCKLE)
Basically, this surfboard doesn't need any waves.
Well, that is, if it works.
- That's so cool. - (CHUCKLES)
Why can't you tell Mack?
Uh...
Because, I don't think she'll get it.
You know, me spending so much time on surfboards.
She's got her whole life mapped out.
- She wants to go to college. - College?
What's it... Where is it...
What's a... Where's a college?
It's far away.
And it's full of impressive people, like her. It's...
It's not a place where a guy like me could get around by making surfboards.
I understand, Brady.
Maybe the problem is that you're not tan enough.
(BOTH LAUGHING)
Mack, I never knew I could be so happy.
I mean, I love it all,
the challenging classes, the interesting conversations.
The flavored lip gloss.
I mean, really. Triple vanilla kiwi berry?
(BOTH GIGGLING)
I never even knew there was more than one vanilla.
- Can I... - Yeah.
Lela, here's the thing.
Our world isn't really all that great.
Oh, there's finals and taxes and global warming
and hangnails and public restrooms.
You really had it good back in your world.
You don't have to worry about your future
or picking the right college.
You have a boy that loves you.
Right?
And you want more than that, right?
You want to live life to the fullest.
I want that, too.
But, Lela, being with the right person can actually make life more full.
If you have the same passion, the same drive.
Or, maybe that doesn't help at all.
You know, maybe he just has to respect your passion
and not keep secrets from you and get weird when you're busy.
I don't know. It's all pretty confusing here,
which is why you should go home.
What? What's wrong?
You look normal.
- (CELL PHONE RINGING) - Oh.
(CHIMES)
Hello?
It's Mack.
- Oh. (YELLING) - (SNIFFLES)
Yeah.
What?
Hi, Mack. (LAUGHS)
Yeah, we'll be right over.
- Tanner, we gotta go. Come on! - Huh?
(UPBEAT MUSIC PLAYING)
Whoo! (LAUGHS)
Whoo!
Whoa!
(AIR HISSING)
(GROANS)
Tanner!
Lela, you look like future Lela. (CLEARS THROAT)
- Groovy. - Super groovy.
No, not groovy at all, actually.
Very un-groovy.
She's not supposed to be able to look modern.
Smile.
No shining teeth pang!
- What are you doing? - It's okay. It's okay.
- What are you... - Just go with it.
Stop it!
- Hey. What... What are you... - Look. Wet!
(WHIMPERS) What's happening? What are... What is...
Why is my hair so squishy and limp? I don't understand!
What is this feeling?
(SCREAMING)
Brady, do you understand what's happening?
The whole essence of who they are is changing.
They could be stuck here forever.
Or, the whole fabric of our reality could just rip open. We gotta get them back.
Well, maybe we should just tell them where they're from, what they do?
But are we worried what that might do to them?
Well, we're running out of options, Mack.
(SIGHS) Lela, Tanner.
You're just made up characters from a movie. You are not real.
Huh?
Maybe I would've eased it into them a little more gently.
But...
A movie? I don't understand.
- Here. Look at this. - (CELL PHONE CHIMES)
(POP MUSIC PLAYING)
- You like to surf? - I know.
Hey, it's us, doing things we usually do.
You guys are from an imaginary world.
A movie world. My favorite movie. It's where Mack and I met.
But I don't want to live in a movie world.
But you do.
That's why your life's always been so perfect, Lela.
It's where you belong.
How do we make them understand?
We could explain to them in a language they know.
You mean...
Here we go.
Yep.
(ALL PANTING)
No, you guys, honestly, life is better in a movie.
- Yes! - (BELL RINGING)
MAN 1: Quiet on the set.
MAN 2: Quiet on the set! MAN 1: Playback.
Roll sound.
MAN 2: Beat. MAN 1: Roll camera.
MAN 2: Rolling.
BOTH: (SINGING) You gotta play the scene
Up on the silver screen
You gotta live the dream
Action!
The lights-camera-action thing
Rollback.
The water's Technicolor blue
And the waves don't miss a cue
Not a hair is out of place
Perfect!
Every line's the perfect take
You gotta play the scene
Up on the silver screen
Whoaaa
It's better with a story
Always clever, never wordy
You got the part
Whoaaa
It's better when you wake up
Minty breath and perfect makeup
You're a work of art
- And no one ever breaks your heart - (SLURPING)
You gotta play the scene
- Up on the silver screen - (SCREAMING)
Yeah, yeah
- No matter where you've been - Whoa.
Good times are zooming in
You can dream, but no one sleeps
- Say a bad word and it bleeps - (BLEEPING)
You can have and eat your cake
Never need a bathroom break
You gotta play the scene
Up on the silver screen
Whoaaa
- It's better on location - (THUNDER RUMBLING)
'Cause it feels like a vacation
Super fun
Whoaaa
Bring the feature to the people
If it's good they'll make a sequel
When we're done
The surf is up under the sun
(ALL CLAMORING)
Hey
The good guy saves the day
The bad guys run away
Everybody dances when the music starts to play
ALL: Hey!
- ALL: Hey! - (TANNER LAUGHING)
- Tanner. - Tanner.
- Your cats are always cool - Hey
- You never have to go to school - Yep
Get ready for your close up
It's the happy ending rule
You gotta play the scene
Yeah
Up on the silver screen
On the silver screen
You gotta live the dream
No matter where you've been
The lights-camera-action thing
'Cause it's better in a movie
When you met her it was groovy
It's where love is always true
When you met him then you knew
You gotta play the scene
Play the scene
GIRL: Can I have your autograph?
(ALL CHEERING)
(CAMERA SHUTTERS CLICKING)
Up on the silver screen
(ALL CHEERING)
No!
I'm sorry, but no.
I don't want to be that girl anymore.
I don't want somebody to write my lines for me.
I want to stay here.
Forever.
Um... Lela!
(SPLASHING)
(SIGHS) Well, that was dramatic, and potentially terrible.
Hey, move it! Out of the way, out of the way,
out of the way, out of the way.
Okays!
I think there's only one thing for us to do.
ALL: Yeah?
And that's to not do anythings and pretend that nothing bad is happening.
- Sound good? Perfect. Okay. - (ALL SPEAKING INDISTINCTLY)
CHEECHEE: Butchy, Butchy!
Whoa! (PANTING)
(SLOWLY) Oh, my gosh.
You are not gonna believe this.
Oh, Cheechee, what's wrong?
We was walking with our pals, Sidecar and Muffler, and, boom!
They just up and vanished.
Oh, this is terribles.
Peoples have been disappearing left and right!
- (WHIMPERS) - Any one of us could be next!
Oh.
Okay, things started going wrong
ever since Tanner and Lela took off into the ocean.
You thinks thems leaving is somehow corenated with this chain of events?
- Yeahs, I do. Hey, what's that? - (ALL EXCLAIMING)
This is the same necklace my sister had when she disappeared into the ocean.
Maybe we's can use it, too.
We can find Tanner and Lela.
We'll bring 'em back, and then maybe everything will be normal again.
We're leaving?
I gotta go home and get some hairspray.
This does not travel well.
- No, we ain't got time, Cheech. - Whoa!
We gotta get there right now, before more of us start disappearing.
But wait.
Where, exactly, is there?
How am I supposed to know, Struts? I ain't been there yet.
Come on.
Oh, yeah. Water gives you the fears, don't it?
Yeah, it does.
But some things is bigger than fears. Now, let's go!
(ALL CHEERING)
Right.
(WHIMPERS)
It's gone, Mack.
No, it might still wash up.
Last time, I ended up in a parallel movie universe.
MACK: Do you have any better ideas? Just keep looking.
Don't take this out on me. I wasn't the one who just blurted it out.
Like, "Hey, Lela, guess what? You're not real."
Really? So, this is my fault?
- How else should I have said it? - I don't know!
You could've been a little less direct.
Less direct, like, kept it a secret from her?
Kept her in the dark?
Yeah, 'cause that's been working so well for you, lately.
Well, maybe we should go ask Spencer for help.
Really? We're back to that.
How about this? You just keep looking over there.
- I'm gonna look over here. - Yeah, fine by me.
(YELPS)
What was that about?
I think they were arguing.
But they're not in rival gangs.
Here, I guess, couples do it, too.
I don't like it.
Me, neither.
Well, that's odd.
What?
Why are those crazy cats wearing their clothes in the water?
(GIGGLES)
Lela, those aren't cats.
- This is great! Whoa! - Yeah.
(GASPS) Those are...
- Guys. - (GASPS)
- Tanner! - Lela!
- Our friends! - Our friends! Oh!
(ALL EXCLAIMING)
Whoa.
Those people are made out of rubber.
(EXCLAIMING CONTINUES)
Are you kidding me?
Hi! Hi! Come over here.
(ALL CHEERING)
Butchy! Lugnut!
Cheechee! Struts!
Rascal! Seacat! Giggles! (LAUGHS)
Oh, we's did it! We's found you's guys.
Hey, guys. Wow. You're all here.
What are you doing here?
What do you mean what are we doing here?
We came to take Tanner and Lela home.
- TANNER: What? - No.
BUTCHY: No?
I don't want to go home, Butchy.
But, Lela, I'm your brother.
Don't you miss me?
- Don't you miss all of us? - ALL: Yeah.
Yes. Of course.
A lot, but...
Well, I'm starting to find myself here, Butchy.
I'm happy.
Okay, look, Lela, that's all wells and goods,
but you see, the thing is, back home, things are starting to disappear, like...
Wait, what's disappearing?
Peoples.
- Peoples? - Yeah, peoples.
Peoples are just starting to sparkle up, and poof, and they vanish.
And we don't even know where's to. Or if they's coming back.
That's it. That's what's happening.
Lela and Tanner are the stars of the movie.
- Without the stars... - There's no movie.
It's vanishing from existence.
You guys have to go back. Right away.
You have to go back into the movie,
otherwise, you're all just gonna disappear.
What have I done?
Lela.
Lela, it's not your fault.
Okay, there's no way you could've known this was gonna happen.
I've gotta go back.
It's our job to be characters in a movie.
Yeah, what are you's talking about? What is she talking about?
It's complicated.
I'm gonna miss you, Mack.
Yeah, me, too. (CHUCKLES)
You know, and somehow, we will always be friends.
Even if we're in different worlds.
I know.
I just wish I didn't have to leave.
(CHUCKLES)
- (VOICE BREAKING) Bye, Brady. - It's great seeing you.
Yeah.
Take care of yourself, all right?
Go get yourself home.
He's right. We gotta get ourselves home.
(SIGHS)
Okay.
Bye.
They're gone.
Um...
- Listen... - Hey, um...
Well, I, uh, should get to the dance to set up.
Yeah, yeah.
I guess I'll... I guess I'll see you there.
Yeah, I guess.
(BAND PLAYING UPBEAT MUSIC)
(MUSIC STOPS)
ANNOUNCER: All right, everybody. The band's taking a break.
We'll be back in 15.
(ROMANTIC MUSIC PLAYING)
Here's a little something to slow it down.
(STUTTERS) Hey, do you wanna, um...
Um...
I'd love to dance.
What's up, dude?
You know, school dances aren't usually my scene,
but this fruit punch is actually pretty nectar.
You all right, dude?
Yeah, I'm good. (CHUCKLES)
I'm guessing things aren't totally simpatico
with the little beach bunny?
Yeah. Things are a little not simpatico.
I'm wondering how I can make things not not simpatico, you know?
Beats me, bro.
But I'm pretty sure it doesn't involve
standing in a corner and bumming oneself out.
(CHUCKLES)
- You good, man? All right. - Yeah.
(SIGHS)
(ROCK MUSIC PLAYING)
You.
Tanner, what are you doing, here? Are you crazy?
The movie's vanishing. You're all in danger.
We're here for you, Brady.
For me?
You and Mack. It was Tanner's idea.
Look, the way I see it is,
it's not right that things aren't right with you two.
So, we came to help make things right. Help you make things right.
- Right? - Right.
Isn't it amazing to hear him like this?
I mean, he's caring about somebody other than himself.
Oh, it's fantastic. (GIGGLES)
Brady, do you remember when we were doing
that worry thing about Lela and Mack?
Well... (SIGHS)
We forgot something important. Something really important.
See, we have a word in our world, too. It's called, "Confidence."
And it's spelled K-O-N... (STAMMERS)
... Fidence.
Actually, no, you need to remember it.
Because you're a good surfer and a great friend and you make cool things.
What I'm trying to say is you're an amazing guy.
And the only person keeping you from realizing it is you.
You came back for us?
You risked everything.
Some things are worth the risk.
(CHUCKLES)
You know what, Tanner?
You're exactly right.
I can do this.
Yeah.
(BAND TUNING INSTRUMENTS)
Hey, man, can I play a song real fast?
- Mmm-hmm. (LAUGHS) - Dope. Thanks, man.
Hey, bro, okay, I need something really upbeat, like, kick, snare.
- Yeah! - Crazy. Cool?
Mmm-hmm.
(ALL CHEERING)
(SINGING) Yeah!
Come on
You and me are meant to be
Like a brand-new board and the awesomest wave
Thing is, honey, I'm unique
Forever chillin' and trying to catch some waves
Without you, I sing the blues
Instead of rock, rock, rock rock, rock 'n' roll
So, I'm hopin' you miss me, too
And you're down with who I am since I broke the mold
March to the beat
I march to the beat, gonna do my thing
March to the beat

I gotta be, gotta be, gotta, gotta be me
Like you, I'm original
Trying to move this world from where it's at
You're laid back, and I get stressed
Yet whenever we're together we're more than that
My motto's seize the day and night
And yours is let's go with the flow
That's no reason to say goodbye
Not if you're fast enough for a girl on the go
March to the beat
I march to the beat, gonna do my thing
March to the beat

ALL: Hey!
Oh!
Hey!
I gotta be, gotta be, gotta, gotta be me
(CHUCKLES)
- I guess I literally fell for you, huh? - (CHUCKLES)
Okays, I hate to ruin this beautiful moment,
but we gotta get back to whatever's on the other side
of that terrifying, watery stuff.
- He means the ocean. - Yeah, what she said.
No, guys, he's right.
We gotta get out of here before another one of us...
Oh, no. No, no, no, no, no.
- (GRUNTS) - (GASPS)
(GASPS)
(ALL GASPING)
Vanishes!
- LELA: Butchy! - He's gone.
- With the necklace. - Guys, there's nothing here but nothing.
This is happening. How do we make this all right?
How do we get back before we all vanish?
Wait, when you guys first came to our world,
you didn't have the necklace, 'cause I hadn't given it to you yet.
How did you get there then?
You ready?
Let's do it.
(INDISTINCT CONVERSATIONS)
CHEECHEE: There they is.
STRUTS: We gotta do something before we all start to disappear.
CHEECHEE: Just like Butchy.
- We don't have a lot of time. - This surfboard will take you home.
- Are you sure? - Yeah, I sure hope so. Here.
All right, go paddle out and catch a really big wave.
- Oh, no. - There's no surf.
- How can you surf if there's no surf? - Well, you can't.
- CHEECHEE: Uh, oh, no. - No. No.
(WHIMPERS)
Whoa!
(GRUNTING)
Oh, no.
Uh-oh. (WHIMPERS)
Good luck, guys.
Tanner, we're the only ones left.
We have to go. Now.
Otherwise, we're gonna disappear, and the movie will be gone forever.
But how? You need waves to surf.
Tanner, remember when you told me you've never made anything?
- Yeah. - I need you to help me make something.
Okay. Here.
Take these pliers, right here,
and you're gonna put it under the emblem,
and you're gonna pry it off, okay?
Awesome. Come on, Mack. We gotta go.
- Where? - To my house.
Under there, and then I'll pull up, okay?
Okay. Good.
- Brady. - Yeah?
Brady, I thought we were going to your house.
Just come on.
Um...
Um, glue. Where's the glue? Where's the glue?
Brady, what is this place?
It's my workshop/chill out space.
And all of those?
Surfboards.
- And you made them? - Uh-huh. It's not as hard as it looks.
Actually, it's pretty hard.
(RATTLING)
Yes! Okay.
This was your secret.
(SIGHS) Yeah.
I've been making surfboards.
But not just any surfboards. Boards that do what other boards don't.
And why couldn't you tell me that?
Because, Mack, you're so together.
College, your oceanography club.
You've got a vision for your life and your future.
And I just thought that, I don't know, you wouldn't respect it.
Brady, this is incredible.
My grandfather has made boards his whole life.
It's an art.
And what you're doing here,
(SIGHS)
this is a vision for your life.
- You really think so? - Yeah, I do.
Good,
'cause I've been building this one for us.
Remember in the summer when we couldn't surf
'cause there were no waves?
I had this idea that, what if you could surf with no waves?
This surfboard has a motor built inside it.
- So, you can surf when there's no surf. - Exactly.
No matter what. Anytime.
Brady, it's beautiful.
If this baby works,
we might have a shot at getting Tanner and Lela home.
(CHUCKLES)
- Let's do it. - Brady.
I'm sorry.
I'm sorry you felt like you had to hide this from me.
You know what really matters about our future?
No secrets.
Done.
- Let's go. - Okay.
- (GRUNTS) Look at that. We did it! - BRADY: Guys, guys!
(GRUNTS)
- TANNER: We got the emblem off it. - Hey, yeah.
Hey, this is the hydro-lithium, uh, board. The one that can surf by itself.
- The board that can surf by itself! - Exactly.
Here, I've got this tire glue that should do the trick.
Okay.
- Okay, help me, Tanner. - All right.
We gotta get this board in the water. Come on. Let's go.
- Lela, will you grab that end? - Yeah, yeah.
- You got it? - Yeah.
You okay?
Brady, do you know where we are?
Yeah.
We're at Dolphin's Cove.
Where we met.
(SNIFFLES)
Brady, if this doesn't work, and Lela and Tanner vanish,
and the whole movie never even existed,
then doesn't that mean that we never even met?
I mean, if they don't make it, then we won't even know each other.
Hey, hey, hey.
It's okay.
How could I ever forget you?
(SINGING) You're my someone who is lovely
You are wonderful and true
And you're the boy who makes me smile
Even when I'm feeling blue
- I'm so lucky that I found you - I'm so lucky that I found you
- Most definitely - Most definitely
Oh, yeah
Not a phony or a fake
Sweeter than a chocolate shake
- My meant to be - My meant to be
- 'Cause when it's meant to be - 'Cause when it's meant to be
- You go kind of crazy - You go kind of crazy
- Meant to be - Meant to be
- You forget your own name - You forget your own name
- When it's meant to be - When it's meant to be
- It's destiny calling - It's destiny calling
- And nothing ever will be the same - And nothing ever will be the same
Our eyes meet
So sweet, and I couldn't ask for more
This is real, the way I feel
It's something I've never felt before
ALL: (SINGING) When it's meant to be the stars seem to glisten
Meant to be, all the clouds depart
When it's meant to be that's destiny calling
And if you listen, you'll find your heart
I guess this really is goodbye this time.
Thanks for everything, man. Honestly, thanks for coming.
We needed it.
You're welcome, Brady.
Hey, I'm really glad I got to see you again, Lela.
I am, too.
I'll never forget you.
Again.
Me, neither.
Lela, listen to me.
When you get back to your world, it doesn't have to be the way it was.
Okay, you can start a math club.
Or create a new type of lip gloss.
You can do whatever you want.
Change the movie. Make it your story.
- Think I can change the movie? - You can do it.
Thank you.
I will.
Here.
(CHUCKLES)
I'll treasure it forever.
Lela, we have to go.
(LELA SIGHS)
Be right back.
BRADY: Okay, guys, stand up.
Make sure you bend your knees when you ride this thing,
or else you're gonna fall right off. Tanner, you hold the T-bar.
Lela, you hold on to Tanner's waist super, super tight.
- Or else you're gonna fall. - Okay.
- You guys good? - Yeah.
- Good luck. - Bye, Brady.
Bye, guys.
Bye, Brady.
(MOTOR SPUTTERS)
- Brady, what's wrong? - What is it?
I don't know.
Come on.
- What? - The hatch won't open.
LELA: Brady, we've gotta go, now.
(BANGING)
No. No, no, no, no, no.
Brady, it's happening. Oh, no!
I can't get it. I need my tool kit. I need a small, Phillips screwdriver.
I can't get in there with my fingers. I need some help.
Okay, Brady, Brady. Try this.
- Please hurry. - TANNER: We've gotta go!
Please work.
- You ready? Go. - Okay.
Come on, baby.
(MOTOR REVS)
MACK: Brady, if this doesn't work,
and Lela and Tanner vanish,
and the whole movie never even existed,
then doesn't that mean that we never even met?
I mean, if they don't make it, then we won't even know each other.
Yo, bro-heim.
Was I right, or was I right, dude?
I told you. Night body-surfing, mondo spiritual, right?
I don't know, man. It was super flat. And freezing.
I didn't catch a single thing. Except, maybe, a cold.
- My bad, dude. - It's all good.
- Hey, you ready to roll? - Yeah, let's do this.
- Cool, man. - Night bod-surfing is still cool, though.
Yeah, yeah.
- Hey, what's going on, here? - (CROWD CHEERING)
DEVON: Oh, it's that Save The Beach dance.
There were flyers at school.
- They're gonna project a movie? - (BLOWS RASPBERRY)
That looks super awesome. You wanna crash it?
When have you known me to pass up on a possible fiesta?
- Never. - (LAUGHS) Let's do this.
(ROCK MUSIC PLAYING)
SPENCER: Thanks, guys.
They should each be in batches of 10.
And there should be at least 100 altogether.
Some of them went rogue,
so you're gonna have to re-tie them with the yellow string.
- Not another colored string... - Can we help you guys?
- MAN: Yeah, two tickets, please. - Oh.
- Thanks. - Make good choices.
- MAN: Here we go. - Mack, where have you been?
I just needed some air.
Oh, sales are through the roof.
You're a genius. People love the theme.
GIRL: Two tickets, please. SPENCER: Here you go.
Hey, hey, hey. Party for one for the big shindig tonight.
MAN: Hey, Devon! What's up?
Can I help you?
Yeah, I gotta ask, what's with the big screen and the outfits?
Oh, it's a fund-raiser. Yeah, we're saving the beach.
- It's a 1962 beach movie party. - Cool.
What movie you gonna play?
Uh...
(BRADY READING)
Nice.
You've never heard of it?
No, I've heard of it. Everyone's heard of it.
So, then we agree that it's the awesomest movie ever made.
- I'm not sure awesomest is a real word. - (CHUCKLES)
And even if it was, I'm not sure that movie's exactly my jam.
That movie was totally ahead of its time.
It's the reason I love to surf.
You surf?
- Of course. - Cool.
(LAUGHS)
Okay, how about this?
You take a ticket, save the beach,
and if you don't totally dig it, I'll buy you a mango smoothie.
I do love mangoes.
Then you're gonna win either way.
Thanks.
Oh.
Hi. Have fun.
Yo, speaking of mangoes, I'm gonna go talk to Morgan.
- See you, dude. (LAUGHS) - See you.
DEVON: Morgan.
ALYSSA: Okay, Mack, you are gonna do so good.
- This is so exciting. - Uh-huh.
And it's not as scary as you think.
It's only a little bit more scary than you think.
- Just be calm, and... - Alyssa, Alyssa.
- Okay. - Just have fun, okay?
Thank you.
- Oh, hey. Here. - Thank you.
- SPENCER: Alyssa, come on. - Oh.
(CHUCKLES)
Hi. Thank you guys so much for coming.
It really does mean a lot.
And now, the moment we have all been waiting for,
Lela, Queen of the Beach.
- (CROWD CHEERING) - (UPBEAT MUSIC PLAYING)
Alyssa.
(CROWD CHEERING)
(CHEERING CONTINUES)
CHORUS: (SINGING) Queen of the Beach
(WHOOPING AND CHEERING)
And there's a fresh breeze headed down the beach

A new beginning on a wave of endless possibilities
I feel a good change coming around the bend
Can't help but move my feet
It's a different story 'cause I changed the end
I make my own destiny

Gonna party down till the sun comes up
Rockin' and we're ready to go
Anything can happen
Our time has come
