Cos 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. OK. Do you recognise it? No. Oh. 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 most bodacious summer of my life. Even the part when we got trapped in a 1960s beach movie. (CHUCKLES) 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 Westside Story on my tablet. And I thought, 'Who is this surfer dude with the shiny hair?' And you said... (CHUCKLES) '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 mangoes. Yeah. (CHUCKLES) You did all this for me? I'd swim to China for you. Or Hawaii. Whatever's that way. I have no idea what's that way. (CHUCKLES) You ready? Mm-hm. (EXHALES) (PROJECTOR WHIRRS) In a way, it's almost too bad it's almost all over. # Sad to say our time's come to an end. # Time's come to an end. # But it's just goodbye until we do it all again.

(CHUCKLES) Actually, no, I don't. If I manage to put my board shorts on tomorrow morning, I'll be pretty stoked with myself. (CHUCKLES) (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 DEEPLY) No. No, no, no, no, no, no, no. No. What's wrong? My necklace ` the one the Lela gave me, the only thing I have from Westside 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. We should probably go in. Yeah. Sure. (SLOW, MAGICAL MUSIC) (SCHOOL BELL RINGS) (UPBEAT HIP-HOP MUSIC) (CHEERING) (CHEERING) Whoo! Windy bluff! Yeah! First day back! Oh. No way. (LAUGHS) Whoo! Yo, dude-man. First day of school. (BOTH SCREAM) (BOTH INHALE DEEPLY) (BOTH SCREAM, LAUGH) Wham, wham. Bap, bap. Boom. (BOTH WHOOP) Yeah. Tss, tss. Chh. Hey. BOTH: (WHOOP) Pah. Dude, how was Indonesia? Oh, man. The swells were nectar. Primo pearls, my hombre. The waves were all like, 'Moo, moo,' and I was like, 'Bro!' I was a one-man stoke machine all summer long. Oh, mondo, dude. Beyond mondo, bro. Beyond mondo. (CHUCKLES) 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, I wouldn't call her that, exactly. Right on, bro. Right on. (CHUCKLES) Three-pointer. Ooh, ooh. Let's go. - (BELL RINGS) - 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. (SHRIEKS, GIGGLES) 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 have done if I'd lost you to that prep school. Yeah, I'm glad I'm back too. Ooh, here. Ooh, what's this? Uh, well, I-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. Ooh! 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. (CHUCKLES) Hi. Oh, you're wearing flip-flops, which is cool. 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. HUSHED: 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) CHUCKLES: How long has that been in there? (CRUNCHES) Want some? Why not? (CHUCKLES) (CRUNCHES) So, I'll see you later? Yeah. During break? Can't ` French study group. Uh, lunch? Calculus study group. After school? Oceanography club, Dance sub-committee meeting. How's Easter lookin' for ya? - (CHUCKLES) - (BELL RINGS) Oh, uh, we have marine biology together, right? Third period, so I'll` Sure, yeah. ...I'll see you then. Cool. OK. 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. (CHUCKLES) 1 (UPBEAT HIP-HOP MUSIC) Mm. What's up, my pucker-face little buddy? (CLEARS THROAT) Sorry. Sorry. No. Hey. Hey. Whatcha working on? Noth` Nothing. OK. (CHUCKLES) (BOTTLES CLINK) This is fantastic. Mack, I got all the good stuff. Score. (CHUCKLES) I'm gonna go fire up a centrifuge. Oh, Spencer. Wow. Hi. You look great. Really, really great. Super great. Perfect, even. Uh, thanks, Alyssa. I appreciate it. - (CRASH!) - (ALYSSA SHRIEKS) So, Mack, uh, I'm happy that you're in this class. I heard that you've 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! Oh, I mean, I don't love pollution, but it's an important issue. (CHUCKLES) Yeah. (CHUCKLES) Uh, I'm also the head of a club. It's the, uh, surf` surf club. You just hang out and surf. Spencer, this is Brady. (CHUCKLES) Brady, it's` I've seen you surf. You're amazing, man. It's a pleasure to meet you. Uh... Um... Right. Yeah. Yeah. (CHUCKLES) 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 tubey thing. A squeezey sponge. Some wet stuff. And a blue, creepy glove. Oh, you think? Yeah. (CHUCKLES) Thanks. I've always loved biology and the ocean. Hey, uh, have you checked out the new oceanography programme 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. (CHUCKLES) Brady. Hola. You OK, my man? Yeah. Yeah, I'm good. Totally. All right. Well, let's do this. Whoa. Wha`? (CHUCKLES) I made a volcano. That's so sick. Oh, gnarly. Dude, look at this. What? (CHUCKLES) WHISPERS: Oh my gosh. BRADY: Mack! Mack! Hey. Hey. Ooh, 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, cos 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? Oh, 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 Westside 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 theatre deal. That would be really cool,... Right? ...but there's just no time, and as much as I love Westside Story, you and I are, like, the only people under 50 that have ever heard of it. (CHUCKLES) Yeah, you're probably right. Ooh, 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 programme that I have to check out. Yes. Of course. I'll be there. In actual shoes. Sure. (CHUCKLES) OK. Yeah. See ya. Bye. (CHUCKLES LIGHTLY) Guess I'll go surf by myself. (GENTLE PIANO MUSIC) Brady. Hey, bro. (BIKE BRAKES SQUEAK) Whoa. (BOTTLES CLINK) OK. Universal online college application. Hmm. (READS) 'What personal attributes uniquely quality you as an extraordinary applicant?' Are you kidding me? (SIGHS) # It's a bikini wonderland. # Summer time. (SONG CONTINUES SOFTLY IN BACKGROUND) (SIGHS) Let's see. Deeper bottom curve, better on steep waves. How do you increase water displacement so it rides smoother? (KNOCKING) Hey, Mom. How's that going? It's... going slowly ` very slowly. Hm. Wow. How's that going? It's going. I mean, I've opened it up, stared at it. Hm, well, don't stress yourself out too much. (SIGHS) 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... I don't even know what I want for dinner. Things were a little rough with you two back at school today? No. OK, maybe. Yeah. Have you seen my brown marker? I can't find it. Ooh. (CHUCKLES) I'm sure things are gonna work out between you two. OK? And bring these wet towels downstairs. Sure, Mom. Dinner's back at the house at 6. So, Tanner, is youse and me ready to disarm the diabolical weather machine now? You bet, daddy-o. 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, cos 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. Mm-hm. I think. Along with Ready and Lewis. (CHUCKLES) That is a very long name. (CHUCKLES) OK, Tanner. I'll just wait right here for you, and... Well, actually, why don't I come too? (RECORD SCRATCHES) Oh. Uh... What? (CHUCKLES) Why don't I come with you? (ALL GASP) I mean, all that happens when you guys go off is we stand here and do nothing. Maybe I can help. Uh, just one` Excuse us. (CHUCKLES) Um, but girls aren't supposed to. Right. I'm sorry. I don't know where that came from. Forget about it. (EXCITED CHATTER) Go, Tanner. Be safe. Be brave. You're my hero. (SIGHS DRAMATICALLY) Let's go! Yeah! (CHEERING) (FUNKY DANCE MUSIC) (MAGICAL TWINKLING) GIRL: Come back soon! (SIGHS) (FAST-PACED ROCK MUSIC) No! No. Yes! (GASPS) Thanks, Grandma. # I got something on my mind. (GRUNTS) # Some day soon, gonna make you mine. (GRUNTS, STRUGGLES) # Tongue-tied, twisted, inside out. Grandma? Yes! # Come on. What? No! Yes!

This programme is awesome. I knew you'd love it. Mack. What's going on? Brady, it's already over. Where were you? Listen, I'd better be going. In case you need it. (CHUCKLES LIGHTLY) I will see you guys tomorrow. You know, you could have at least shot me a text. I did. 12. No, you didn't. 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. You won't even tell me why you stood me up? Brady, we used to tell each other everything. What is happening with us? You tell me. It's almost like the school-you wants nothing to do with me. This is 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. (!) (GENTLE GUITAR MUSIC) # 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 the time we spent was just a blur. # Now it's just me and a melody. # So what am I # supposed to do? # Cos 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?

I don't know. This whole thing, I just` I can't do it any more. It's not you, Tanner. You're a great guy. 'Course I am. I have to go. (CONFUSED MURMURING) Now, where is she goin'? (LAUGHS) OK. Excuse me. Excuse me. Sorry. (DOOR OPENS, SHUTS) Lela! 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` but they're not here any more. I wanna be like her, Tanner. What? Try new things. Experience new experiences. (MAGICAL MUSIC) What is that? (CHUCKLES) Tanner, look. Do you know what this is? Uh,... a necklace. I gave it to Mack, and it came back to me, here and 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. (CHUCKLES) Goodbye, bikers. Goodbye, surfers. Goodbye, people always standing around in the background who never speak, whose names I don't know. (WATER SPLASHES) (STAMMERS) We gotta stop her, right? Yeah, I mean, we definitely could, but water makes me a little bit nervous. What? I know. Maybe I should sing a song. That usually fixes everything. # I'm falling for you` # No, no. Uh, maybe I'll talk in my low voice. DEEP 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. (WHIMPERS) Oh, where's they goin's? Lela? (ALL EXCLAIM) 1 (WAVES CRASH) LELA: Jeepers. TANNER: Oh my. Tanner, what are you doing here? I dunno. (CHUCKLES) Are you OK? I'm OK. It's a little hot outside. I don't know what to do. Where are we? Tanner. Why is it so hot outside? Tanner. What? (WATER RUSHES) Oh my. Oh! Well, jeepers. Oh! Those fellas are made of rubber! Oh, golly! (ROCK MUSIC PLAYS) (SCREAMING) (WHOOPING) Oh, 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? Well, I don't know, we` Oh, excuse me. Hey, what's happenin'? Oh, so much. So, we went into the water and then came out of the water. Now it's daytime, and we saw rubber people and boat cycles and` I think we're lost. Here. Use my phone. - (PHONE BEEPS) - WOMAN'S VOICE: I didn't quite get that. The little box just spoke to us. (PHONE BEEPS) (LAUGHS) Wow! How'd I get in there? Hi, small me. Lookin' good. Tanner, are we here? Did we make it? Are we in Mack's world? SLOWLY: We come... to your world... in peace. - (PHONE BEEPS) - WOMAN'S VOICE: What was that again? Hello, lady in the little box. Who, me? 'Sup, bro. Hey, Brady. (BAG RUSTLES) 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 favourite surf spot. Ah! 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? (TANNER AND LELA GIGGLE) Hey! Lela! Tanner! Lela! Tanner! Tanner! What the heck? You're real! (ALL EXCLAIM) Lela! Mack! Mack, Mack! Can we take a second and realise that they are actually here? Wait, yes, OK. Wow. You are here with us. Why? How? I found the necklace. But` But 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. And the next thing we knew, well, here we are. Oh, I have one quick question ` um, where exactly is here? Oh, we're on the beach, silly. CHUCKLES: Oh, right. But, like, what country are we in? Uh, let's just say we're in the future. The future? Like, it's already tomorrow today? A few days past tomorrow. (CHUCKLES) Cool. 'Cool'? Tanner, that is way cooler than cool. (GIGGLES) Oh!

Come on, Tanner. Let's take a walk down this crazy of tomorrow. (CHUCKLES) Yeah! (BOTH SIGH) 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. (SCOFFS) Come on. Lela and Tanner? CHUCKLES: Yeah. What could they possibly` On. (LELA CHUCKLES) Off. On. (CHUCKLES) Off again. On again. Yeah. What are we gonna do with them? (LELA AND TANNER GIGGLE) Brady, is it just me, or is their hair totally dry? Yes, it's completely dry, just like when they surf in the movie. On again. Off again. On again. (LELA GIGGLES) (BOTH LAUGH) 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) You're right. They can't handle that. No. Well, then, maybe we just` we just show them that our world isn't as great as they think it is, and they'd wanna go back. Yeah, then they'll take the necklace in the ocean, and boom, they're home. Exactly. (POP MUSIC PLAYS) Hey, where does the record go? No, I know this technology stuff can be really complicated. (POP MUSIC STOPS, DANCE MUSIC PLAYS) 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. (SQUEALS) Goodie. Hm. (GASPS) Is this outta sight on me or what? Yeah, totally outta sight. (SQUEALS, CHUCKLES) # I'm gonna look so outta sight. # I'm gonna look just like Mack. # I'm gonna look so outta sight. # Oh, I love this song. Uh... OK, well, that's impossible. This is good.

(CHUCKLES) # I'll be yours till the end of time. # I'm so in love with you. # I just wanted you to know # that I love you so. # I hope you know it's true. # Ready for school? Great. BRADY: Just make sure no one knows where you're from. (SQUEAKING) (SIGHS) (SQUEAKING CONTINUES) (LAUGHS) All right, bring it in, everybody. We needs to talk. I'm feelin' a little lost here, peoples. Ever since Tanner and Lela just walked off into the ocean, I got this sense that the things are supposed to be happening, they just ain't happening. We could rumble. That usually cheers you up. You know what, I does love a good rumble. (POP!) No, that's not what's supposed to be happenin' right now. You know what, maybe` maybe somebody should sing something. Maybe like Lela would have done if she was here. I thought you'd never ask` (SQUEALS) Cheechee. Hm? Sing somethin'. But I'm doin' my nails. (SNAPS FINGERS) Oh. Oh! All right. I'll sing. # Fallin' for ya. # Fallin' for ya. # Can't hold on any longer, # and now I'm fallin' for you. Five, six, seven, eight!

So, a few ground rules... (SIGHS) OK, 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... - BOTH: No singing. But look at this place ` there's so much to see. So much to do. # We could just... # No, no, no! WHISPERS: Stop. No singing. Just one song? No. One verse? No. One word? No. Not even if it's from the heart and moves the story along? No. # Do, do-do, do. # Do, do-do, do-do. # Bah, bah-da-da-da. # Do, do-do, do-do... Go! Get Lela! Go that way! Ah! OK, man. Stay close to me, act natural, and just walk down the hallway and be cool, OK? You got it. There's one thing I do better than anyone, and that's walk down a school hallway. Awesome. Wait, wha`? What? (SURFER MUSIC) (WHISTLING) '# Listen here. '# You put the rock in my roll with the way you smile. '# Keep me up on my toes. Got me runnin' wild. '# You got my head going round like a circle spinning. '# You make me mad, then you give me grinnin'. '# Does it ring, ring, ring a bell? '# Cos you know I don't kiss and tell. '# What have you heard? The rumours 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 are the one for me. '# Yeah. #' (PANTS) People dig me. Brady! Greetings, meister-bro. Hey, 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 Iafur Einarsson? Or Jonsdottir Gunnarsdotter? Your hair is very pointy. 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. (CHUCKLES) Yeah. Wicked. I love this dude. All right. See you guys. Wah! (CHUCKLES) This place is so neat! (GRUNTS, CHUCKLES) (BELL RINGS) So, what did 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. Wow. You really got it, huh? Who knew learning could be so much fun? (CHUCKLES) SPENCER: Mack, hey. Who's`? Who's this? This is, uh, my cousin Delga from Finland. You are so cute. (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? It's OK. Uh, we haven't really sold many tickets, so just hoping people will show up. (CHUCKLES) Oh, I'm sure they will. It's` It's a great cause. (CHUCKLES) Great. Well, I'll catch you guys later. Well, then I hope you have a really big glove. (CHUCKLES) Oh, so you can catch us. (CHUCKLES LIGHTLY) OK. 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. H-Hi. Uh, uh, this is, um` Lela. I'm here to discover who I am and find fulfilment. A woman that knows what she wants. I like her. (CHUCKLES) I did my Philosophy Camp thesis on female self-empowerment. I can rebuild a motorcycle. Really? I-I-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. Oh, bye, Mack! (SIGHS) 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. (LAUGHS) Or not. (SIGHS) Don't worry. I have a plan. We turn them loose in the most dangerous, confusing, scary place imaginable. A place where one false move results in exile, shame, horror. Wait. Wh`? Where? The cafeteria. (CHUCKLES) (DRAMATIC MUSIC) Oh, hi. We're new here. - I could care less, spray tan. - (LAUGHTER) Actually, it's Tanner. (CHUCKLES) No spray, add an 'er' ` Tanner. (CHUCKLES) Tanner Lewis Ready Danger. Uh... I know` Uh-uh-uh. Wha`? I mean` Uh-uh. I mean` Uh-uh. Are we` Ooh-ooh. Get out of my face. (LAUGHS) Tanner, are you getting the impression that people here are a little stand-offish and, well, meanish? Right? And angryish too. Like the bikers and surfers, only angryish-er. Why's 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. (CHUCKLES) # There are 43 muscles to use. # 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 the frown upside down. # You gotta twist that frown # Up` Up` Up` Upside down. # Cos we're gonna have fun, fun, fun. # 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 # up` up` up` upside down. # Cos we're gonna have fun, fun, fun. # 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 really sorry my face hurt your fist. That's OK. 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 upside down. # You gotta twist that frown upside down. # You gotta twist that frown upside down. # You gotta twist that frown # up` up` up` Upside down. # Cos we're gonna have fun, fun, fun. # 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. (CHUCKLES) Bye! (CHUCKLES) OK, what is goin' on here? It's like we're bored or something. We's not bored, Butchy. We's confused. Yeah. (MAGICAL ZAPPING) Spit it out. GIRL: Spit it out. Spit it out. Spit it out. Look! (GROANS) One of them surfer guys who was always standin' behind us and never says nothin', and he just up and` Just sparkled up and vanished into thin airs. Like a magician... doin' a magic trick on himself. (ALL GASP) LOUDLY: Dude, you've got some bodacious pipes. You totally have to be in my surf band. I play a gnarlacious didgeridoo. LOUDLY: Thanks! Why are we talking so loudly? Bam`bam-bam, bah. Later, my hombre. You'll tell me later? OK! 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 smoulder'. (CHUCKLES) Those are wonderful, Tanner, but I can't. We have calculus homework. It's so exciting. Oh. Oh, OK. Have fun... (CHUCKLES) without me. We're further than ever from talking them into going back. You watch Lela. I'll watch Tanner. 1 I was sittin' 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? (CHUCKLES) And then what was the other one? CHUCKLES: I can't think of what it was. Oh yeah ` 'mysterious wanderer'. And then, uh, 'thinking guy'. (SCREAMS) Here, check this out. Ooh. Thanks. Oh, hi, medium-size me. (CHUCKLES) Still looking good. (POIGNANT MUSIC) 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. (CHUCKLES) (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 (CHUCKLES LIGHTLY) It felt like... like things... might not work out. (CHUCKLES LIGHTLY) It's called worry. Yeah. Yeah, that. And the thing is things always work out for me. (CHUCKLES) But, here, now, I still have that feeling. Worry? Yeah. VOICE BREAKS: I'm worried that Lela wanted to come to this strange world because I wasn't enough for her. (CHUCKLES LIGHTLY) 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` not recently, no. Kinda hit a rough patch. I've been working on something I haven't told her about yet. What is it? (CHUCKLES LIGHTLY) Come on. Are these surfboards? 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 favourites. It's my surfboard suitcase. So, you fold up your board, put it in your bag, and it goes up in the carry-on, then when you land... you're ready to surf. That is so cool! Wait, 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 that lead to the 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. (CHUCKLES) 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's`? What's a`? Where's a college? (CHUCKLES) It's far away. It's full of impressive people like her. 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 LAUGH) Mack, (CHUCKLES) I never knew I could be so happy. I mean, I love it all ` the challenging classes, the interesting conversations, the flavoured lip gloss. I mean, really ` triple vanilla kiwi berry? (BOTH CHUCKLE) I never even knew there was more than one vanilla. Could I..? Yeah. Lela, here's the thing ` our world isn't really all that great. 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. You have a boy that loves you. Right? And you want more than that, right? You wanna 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 RINGS) Ooh. Hello? WHISPERS: It's Mack. Oh. (CAWS) Yeah. What? Hi, Mack! (GIGGLES) Yeah, we'll be right over. Tanner, we gotta go. Come on. Huh? (UPBEAT ISLAND MUSIC) Whoo! (LAUGHS) Whoo! Whoa! (LAUGHS) (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 shiny teeth pang. What are you doing? It's OK. It's OK. What`? Just go with it. Stop it. Hey, what`? What are you`? Look, he's wet! What's happening? What is it? Why is my hair so squishy and limp? I don't understand! What is this feeling? (SCREAMS) 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. Aren't we worried what that might do to them? We're running out of options, Mack. (SIGHS) Lela! Tanner! You're just made-up characters from a movie. You're not real. Huh? Maybe I would have eased it into them a little more gently. What`? A movie? I don't understand. Here, look at this. (UPBEAT POP MUSIC PLAYS) '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 favourite movie. That'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. (SIGHS) How do we make them understand? We could explain to them in the language they know. You mean... Here we go. Yep. (PANTS) No, you guys, honestly, life is better in a movie. Yes! (BELL RINGS) MAN 1: Quiet on the set. Quiet on the set! MAN 2: Play back. Roll sound. Speed. Roll camera. Rolling. # You gotta play the scene # up on the silver screen. # You gotta live the dream ` # the 'lights, camera, action' thing. # The water's Technicolor blue, and the waves don't miss a cue. # Not a hair is out of place. Every line's a perfect take. # You gotta play the scene # up on the silver screen. # Whoa! # It's better in the story. Always clever. Never wordy. # You got the part. # Whoa! # 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. # You gotta play the scene # up on the silver screen. # No matter where you've been, # good times are zooming in. # You can dream, but no one sleeps. Say a bad word, and it bleeps. # You can have and eat your cake.

It's the happy-ending rule. # You gotta play the scene. # You gotta play the scene # up on the silver screen. # You gotta live the dream. # The 'lights, camera, action' thing. # Cos it's better in a movie when you're mad or if it's groovy. # Where true love is always true. When you met him, then you knew. # You gotta play the scene # up on the silver screen. # (CHEERING, APPLAUSE) No. I'm sorry. No. I don't wanna be that girl any more. I don't want somebody to write my lines for me. I wanna stay here. Forever. Um, Lela! (SPLASH!) (SIGHS) Well, that was dramatic and potentially terrible. Hey, move it out of the way. Out of the way! Out of the way! OK, I think there's only one thing for us to do,... and that's to not do anythings and pretend that nothing bad is happening. Sound good? Perfect. OK. Butchy! Butchy! Whoa. Oh my gosh. You are not gonna believe this. Cheechee, what's wrong? We were 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. Any one of us could be next. Oh. K, things started going wrong ever since Tanner and Lela took off into the ocean. You thinks them leavin' is somehow correlated with this chain of events? Yeahs, I do. Hey, what's that? (SNAPS FINGERS) This is the same necklace my sister had when she disappeared into the ocean. Maybe we's can use it too. We can't find Tanner and Lela. We'll bring them back, and then maybe everything will be normal again. We're leavin'? I gotta go home and get some hairspray. This does not travel well. We ain't got time, Cheech. Whoa! We gotta get there right now, before more of us start disappearing. 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. (CHEERING, LAUGHING) 1 It's gone, Mack. No, it might still wash up. Last time, I ended up in a parallel movie universe. Well, 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 have been a little less direct. Less direct? Like kept it a secret from her? Kept her in the dark? Cos 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'ma look over here. Fine by me. (SQUEALS) What was that about? I think they were... arguing. But they're not in rival gangs. (CHUCKLES) Yeah. 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? Lela, those aren't cats. Those are... Guys! Tanner! Lela! BOTH: Our friends! (EXCITED CHATTER) CHEECHEE: Those people are made out of rubber. (CHEERING) Are you kidding me? Hi. Hi. Come over here. (EXCITED CHATTER) Butchy! Lugnut! Cheechee! Struts! Rascal! Seacat! Giggles! (CHUCKLES) Oh, we's did it. We found you guys. Hey, guys. Wow. You` You're all here. What are you doin' here? What do you mean what are we doin' here? We came to take Tanner and Lela home. What? No. No? I don't wanna go home, Butchy. But, Lela, I'm your brother. Don't you miss me? Don't you miss all of us? Yes, of course, a lot. But,... well, I'm starting to find myself here, Butchy. I'm happy. Look, Lela, that's all wells and goods, but, you see, the thing is back home, things are starting to disappear. Wait, what's disappearing? Peoples. Peoples? Yeah, peoples. Peoples are just startin' to sparkle up and poof, and they vanish. And we don't even know wheres 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, it's not your fault, OK? There's no way you could have known this was gonna happen. I've gotta go back. It's our job ` to be characters in a movie. What are youse talking about? What is she talking about? It's complicated. I'm gonna miss you, Mack. Yeah. Me too. (CHUCKLES) 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) (CHUCKLES) Bye, Brady. It was great seeing you. Take care of yourself, all right? Go get yourself home. He's right. We gotta get ourselves home. Bye. (MAGICAL TWINKLING) (POIGNANT MUSIC) They're gone. Uh, listen` Hey, um... I` I should get to the dance to set up. Yeah. Yeah. I guess I'll` I guess I'll see you there. Yeah, I guess. (UPBEAT POP MUSIC PLAYS) # Wandering # throughout the endless waves of yesterday. # I never thought that I would lose my way. # It's such a shame. # I don't know what to say. MAN: All right, everybody. The band's taking a break. We'll be back in 15. (SLOW MUSIC PLAYS) Here's a little something to slow it down. # If I smile, # dancing alone for a while. # Oh-whoa. # Would you rescue me? Hey, do you` do you wanna, um,... um,... # You'll rescue me. # Ooh, ooh. # La, la, la-la, la-la-la. I'd love to dance. (CHUCKLES) # Ooh, ooh. 1 # Whoa, whoa, whoa. Won't you please rescue me? # If I smile, dancing alone for a while. 'Sup, dude? You know, school dances aren't usually my scene, but this fruit punch is actually pretty nectar. # And if I fall, hoping into your arms. # I know, know, know... You all right, dude? Yeah, I-I'm good. (CHUCKLES LIGHTLY) Guessing things are totally simpatico with the little beach bunny? (SIGHS) 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 LIGHTLY) You good man? Yeah. All right. (CHUCKLES) (SIGHS) (UPBEAT SURF MUSIC PLAYS) 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` 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 or 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. (CHUCKLES) Brady, do you remember when we were doing that worry thing about Lela and Mack? Well, 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... 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 realising it is you. You` You came back for us? You risked everything for...? Some things are worth the risk. (CHUCKLES LIGHTLY) You know what, Tanner? You're exactly right. I can do this. Yeah. Hey, man. Can I play a song real fast? Thanks, man. Hey, bro. OK, I need something really upbeat, like kick snare. Yeah! Crazy. Cool? Mm-hm.

We've gotta get out of here before another one of us.... Oh no. Oh, no, no, no, no. Ah! (PING!) ...vanishes! 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 cos I hadn't given it to you. How did you get there then? You ready? Let's do it. 1 CHEECHEE: There they is! (EXCITED CHATTER) GIRL 1: We gotta do something before we all start to disappear. GIRL 2: Where's my Butchy? LELA: 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. Oh no! (PING!) (PING!) Oh no. Uh-oh. Good luck, guys. (PING!) 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. Here, take these pliers right here, and you're gonna put it under the emblem and you're gonna pry it off, OK? Awesome. Come on, Mack. We gotta go. Where? My house. Under there, and I'll pull up, OK? OK. Brady. Yeah? Brady, I thought we were going to your house. Just come on. Um,... Um, 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. Yes! OK. This was your secret. 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. I just thought that, I dunno,... 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 ` this is a vision for your life. You really think so? Yeah, I do. Good, cos... I've been building this one for us. Remember in the summer when we couldn't surf cos 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. Any time. 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. (CHUCKLES) OK. Look at that. We did it. Guys! Guys! (GRUNTS) We got the emblem off. Hey, it's` 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 tyre glue that should do the trick. OK. OK, help me, Tanner. All right. (MAGICAL TWINKLING) We gotta get this board in the water. Come on. Let's go. Lela, will you grab that end? Yeah, yeah, yeah. You got it? You OK? Brady, do you know where we are? (CHUCKLES) Yeah. We're at Dolphin's Cove. Where we met. 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. It's OK. How could I ever forget you? # 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. # Most definitely. # Oh yeah. # Not a phoney or a fake, sweeter than a chocolate shake. # My meant to be. Cos when it's meant to be, # you go kinda crazy. # Meant to be, you forget your name. # When it's meant to be, it's destiny calling. # Nothing ever will be the same. # Our eyes meet, # so sweet, and I couldn't ask for more. # This is real, and the way I feel # is something I've never felt before. # When it's meant to be, # the stars seem to glisten. # Meant to be, all the clouds depart. # When it's meant to be, it'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. (CHUCKLES) Me neither. Lela, listen to me ` when you get back to your world, it doesn't have to be the way it was. OK? You can start a math club, or` or create a new type of lip gloss. You can do whatever you want. Change the movie. Make it your story. You think I can change the movie? You can do it. (CHUCKLES) I will. Oh, here. (CHUCKLES) I'll treasure it forever. Lela, we have to go. (POIGNANT MUSIC) I'll be right back. (SIGHS) OK, guys. Stand up. OK. Make sure you bend your knees when 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. OK. OK. You guys good? Good luck. Bye, Brady. Bye, guys. Bye, Brady.

Brady, it's happening! No! (MECHANICAL WHIRRING) (MOTOR SPLUTTERS) I can't get it. I need my tool kit. I need a small, little screwdriver. I can't get in there with my fingers. I` I need some help. Hey, Brady, wait. Try this. Please hurry. We've gotta go! (ACTION MUSIC CONTINUES) (CLICK!) (MECHANICAL WHIRRING) Please work. You ready? Go. OK. Come on, baby. (MECHANICAL WHIRRING) (MOTOR WHIRRS) MACK: 'Brady, if this doesn't work, and Lela and Tanner vanish, and the whole movie never even existed, 'then doesn't that mean we never even met? I mean, if they don't make it, 'then we won't even know each other?' (SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC) 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. (CHUCKLES) Hey, you ready to roll? Yeah, let's do this. Night body surfing is still cool, though. Yeah, yeah. Hey, what's going on here? Oh, it's that Save the Beach Dance. There were flyers at school. They're gonna project a movie? (SCOFFS) That looks super awesome. You wanna crash it? When have you known me to pass up on a possible fiesta? Never. Ha. Let's do this. (UPBEAT POP MUSIC PLAYS) Thanks, guys. These should 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 colour because the basket is yellow. Can we help you guys? Two tickets, please. Ooh. Thanks. Make good choices. Mack, where have you been? Oh, I just needed some air. Oh, sales are through the roof. You're a genius. People love the theme. Two tickets, please. Here you go. Hey, hey, hey. Party for one for the big shindig tonight. Can I help you? Yeah, I gotta ask ` what's with the big screen and the outfits? Oh, it's a fundraiser. Yeah, we're saving the beach. It's a 1962 beach movie party. Cool. What movie are you gonna play? Uh... 'Lela, Queen of the Beach.' 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. Wha`? That movie was totally ahead of its time. It's the reason I love to surf. You surf? Of course. Cool. (CHUCKLES) OK, 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. Yo. Speaking of mangoes, I'm gonna go talk to Morgan. See ya, dude. (LAUGHS) See ya. OK, 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. Alyssa, Alyssa. OK. Just have fun. Thank you. Here. Thank you. SPENCER: Alyssa, come on. Oh! (CHUCKLES) Hi. Thank you, guys, so much for coming.
