(WIND WHISTLES) (FILM REEL WHIRS) Quiet on the set! And we're rolling. Cody Maverick interview, take one. Why are you interviewing me? We're a reality-film crew. Should I know the questions before we start? No, they're easy. OK. Can you stand on that box? Oh, yeah. Just stand on there. Right there? (FEEDBACK) Whoa! What is that? It's a sound thing. A microphone. What's up, man? I'm Cody. And you're, what? 14, 15 years old? Er, 17 years of age. And any other skills besides surfing? Like what? Like singing and dancing? Yeah, yeah. (LAUGHS) No, not me, man. I just surf. Loser! Cut it out, Glen! Stop, man! We're making a movie about Cody. Does he have to be here? Great. Can I get in line now to not see it? We'll re-slate. We're talking about surfing. Give us your thoughts. Surfing, surfing... Where do I start? How about... just at the beginning? OK. Well, er... As soon as there was the first wave, right, there was the first surfer. All they needed was, you know, something like a piece of driftwood, a block of ice or something like that, and then they were off. And they were hooked, man! They were hooked. Up till recent times, you had your old dudes, your hang-six cats, these old guys used to lay down with these huge, humongous boards... These guys were the pioneers. But nobody saw what surfing could really be until Big Z did it. Tell us who Big Z was. Who was Big Z? You're asking the right guy. You got that far. Z is... (CHUCKLES) ..everything. Big Z is surfing. There may well as not have been an ocean before Z. They invented the ocean for him. He lived so hard because he wasn't afraid to live. Or to die. (DRAMATIC INCIDENTAL MUSIC) He came to Antarctica when I was just a kid. Man, it was... It was the biggest thing that ever happened here. And suddenly there he was, just... ..floating over the water, just hovering, like, weightless. Could've walked up to anyone... ..and he walks right up to me. And he gives me this awesome one-of-a-kind Big Z necklace. And then he tells me, "You know, kid, never give up." "You'll find a way, cos that's what winners do." He was the greatest. Everyone looked up to him, respected him, loved him. And one day... One day I'm gonna be just like him. # "Holiday" - Green Day I've been surfing ever since I can remember. It's hard to imagine life when I wasn't surfing. I wanna get out of here, you know, and this is my ticket out. I'm really good, man. I'm the best on the island. I know it sounds cocky saying that, but I am, like... (SCREAMS) ..the best. Oof! Yeah, I was born and raised here in Shiverpool. Lived here my whole life. It's where they sort the fish. It's the dumbest thing I ever heard of, but, yeah, I work there, just to kind of pacify my mom a little bit. Good old Shiverpool! (BLOWS RASPBERRY / CHUCKLES) This place sucks, bro. Oh! I worked my way up from the sardine pile, through the mackerel pile, and I ended up on the gefilte-fish pile. All hard work. Not like some I could mention. This farkakte kid with the thing on the water. My house? It's down over there, with the surfboards. I just live here with me, my brother Glen and my mom. He was a little, teeny, small egg. Er, he wasn't very impressive. Glen was the big egg, Cody was the small egg. He can't help it. That's just the way he is. He's out there in the water all day. All day. Shirking his responsibilities... Yeah, shirking. Hatching these eggs is a big responsibility. My brother Cody doesn't understand that. He needs to... step up and be a man. It takes a real man to sit on an egg. You know it. Quincy! Come to Daddy! He wants to be different. All the time with the different. (SCREAMS) Only six months in a day! Thanks for making it. Sorry. Yeah, thanks. How was it out there? He's big brother, I'm little brother. I'm not touching you. Not touching. Do you see this? Don't. Get... I'm not! He makes sure I know that, too. I had to fight for everything. Even Mom's tuna casserole. (HUMS HAPPILY) (GRUNTS) There we go. I'm lucky I survived. It wasn't that easy for him, growing up. Like I said before, er... Well, he never really knew his father. I'm not the person to ask about it. I was too young to remember. I mean, look, I'm not the only kid on the island whose dad was, you know,... eaten. Still, it had to be traumatic. No. Not for me, bro. Not for me. What's your dream? To go,... er,... away. "To go away". That's great. Do you guys want a drink? Run away from responsibility... and life. They don't want one. This is unique. This is not the norm. "I have dreams!" (BLOWS RASPBERRY) When is this not happening? Don't make that noise. (BLOWS RASPBERRY) Cody! It's really disrespectful. (BLOWS RASPBERRY) I would never do that. Mm-hm. It just wouldn't make it out of your mouth. That's the difference between us. I can't do this any more. Mom... Look what you did! This is for me, not you. Why is Glen here? Well, yeah. Exactly. Mom! Why is everybody so judgemental? I know why Mom's judgemental. I think it's cos she cares, partially. I think it's also cos everyone is looking at her, like, "Cody's just a bum, Cody's this, Cody's that." Cody's me, bro. Let me be me. When is that gonna start? # Whatever tomorrow brings # I'll be there # With open arms and open eyes, yeah # Whatever tomorrow brings... You know what they call me? The dream-maker. The dream-maker. I find these kids, I bring them here, and I give them a chance to be somebody. You know my greatest joy as a surf promoter? Finding Z, watching him rise to the top. I still can't believe he's gone. He was like a son to me, you know? It was a heart thing. A heart... Can we just take five minutes? How's my hair? I ain't got all day. Shut up. Is it mussed? A few more questions about Big Z... Right now we're more interested in the Reggie Belafonte story, and who could blame us? But Z is the focus... Hey! Let's get the coconut-filler guy and the guy sweeping the sand. Can we hear about your tedious, worthless... Me? Get your feathers off it! Stop! I ain't got all day. I got a big production here. Just roll! Welcome, fans, to another edition of SPEN sports! This is Sal Masekela, and we're here at the surfing capital of the world, Pen Gu island, for a preview of the tenth annual Big Z Memorial Surf-Off. Professional surfers extraordinaire, Kelly and Rob, tell us what kind of challenges our surfers are going to face. Well, first, the wave. The perfect combination of beauty and danger. Even the pros are terrified of this place. (ALL GASP) Hi, Mom! Dig this, Sal. Section behind me, it's called the Boneyards. Very few surfers have come out of there alive. Are you trying to tell me people have died here? That's right, Sal. A moment of silence for them... And we keep it moving! Because if the Boneyards was not enough, our surfers will be facing off with Tank "the Shredder" Evans. (GRUNTS FIERCELY) Tank, nine-time defending champ. A role model? No. But I do consider myself somebody everyone should look up to. Kids should try to pretend that they're Tank. They should try. Good luck, kids! You never wanna get in there and, like, help them out, and show them how to surf, and spend some time with the kids? No, no. I don't wanna do that. Anyway, this is my wave. Always classy, Tank. Coming up, penguin dodge ball! Stick around! OK. To get back to the competition, I just want to say, er, I'm scouring the globe for the next big thing. Ow... But that's another story. He doesn't look for them. I find these penguins. I find the talent. Reggie, my boss, has sent me everywhere on this trip, any place there's an ocean, a lake, a puddle... It's ridiculous. I am on so much migraine medication, you have no idea. The stress is killing me. I don't know how much longer I can last. I have to tell you that right now... (SCREAMS) (WHALE HONKS) Whoa! You gotta try this blow-hole thing, man. This whale dude is giving me a brain-freeze. I, er... I lost a bet. Whoo! Excuse me! Excuse me! Does anybody in this entire frozen wasteland surf? Ah, the Cody Maverick kid does that. Thank you. You know, you're on... (SPLASHING) ..thin ice. I'm looking for Cody Maverick. Has anyone seen Cody Maverick? I'm... I'm Cody Maverick. Ooh! Holy... Mike Abromowitz from the Big Z Memorial Surf-Off, Pen Gu Island. You came to see me? Wow! Quite a slip-and-slider, aren't you? You're here. What an honour, sir. Wonderful. So I hear you surf. Is this true? You gotta see me. You can stand on a board? You gotta see me. You'll be happy. Everything's good. I'll go with you. I can't imagine a better day. Ma! Ma! Ma! He came. The scout, Mike! He came. He's here! He's giving me a shot now, Ma. Yeah. OK. Won't you watch me surf, Mom? No, that's OK. Just this time! I am chopping here. OK. Alright. Well, wish me luck. Cody, just be careful of those big waves. (GRUNTS SADLY) Well? Any time now! You should've been here yesterday. We had a sweet swell yesterday. I was doing layback 360s and floaters... It was insane. Wow! Start the whale. No, no! Wait, wait, wait! All I need is one chance. You just had it. Please don't go! Tough break, kid. Better luck next year. Let's go. Let's go. He's coming! Let's go. Wait. Please! 'I never, you know, won anything in my whole life.' 'Just once, I wanna feel like a winner.' You know, I used to scout songbirds. Toucans, for this musical revue in Brazil! Now, that's show business. Hold on! I don't care what you say. I'm coming to Pen Gu! No way, no how! This is a contest for big-wave surfers! Can't this blubber-ball go faster? Step on it! No, no, no, no! Oh! Poor kid. I feel bad a little bit. This is... No, wait! Wait! (SCREAMS) (SCREAMS) Did you guys see that? He almost had my board. He almost had it. Oh, next time. Next time we'll get him. Yeah. So, anyway... Wait! Whoa! Whoa! (GRUNTS) (SCREAMS) We got you, we got you. Oh, you are heavier than you look. Whoo! Man, we did it. Teamwork always pays off. I'm Chicken Joe, man. Thanks, Joe. Don't you ever do anything like that in the contest! Alright? I'm in? Yeah. Cos that was entertaining, in a horrifying sort of way. (ALL) Alright! Right on, dude! My name's Cody Maverick, Shiverpool. You? No. I'm not from Shiverpool. Oh. Where are you from? Dude, I'm from Lake Michigan. That's where I surf. I was the only one around my town who did it, and a lot of people thought I was crazy, but I'm used to that. I know how you feel, Joe. You do? Yeah! Radical! Whoo-hoo-hoo! Butt-freeze! Somebody help the chicken. * # "Welcome To Paradise" - Green Day # Dear Mother, can you hear me whining # It's been three whole weeks since I have left your home # This sudden fear has left me trembling # Cos now it seems that I am out here on my own # And I'm feeling so alone... (LAUGHS) # Pay attention to the cracked streets # And the broken homes... (BOTH YELL) Slater! Merchado! How's it going? Good, thanks. What's up, buddy? OK. Later, dudes. (GASPS) Radical! # Some call it slums Some call it nice # I wanna take you through a wasteland # I like to call my home (ALL) Ooh! Ow! # Welcome to paradise # Oh, paradise (GIGGLES) Look where I'm standing! I'm standing where Z stood! Hoo-hoo-hoo! Oh, man. Oh, man... Dude, you gotta try this. No, I'm OK. Come on. Just one bite. Alright. One bite, that's it. Yeah? Yeah? What do you think? It's not bad. It kinda tastes like chick... Yeah? What's ch... ch... Chu... Comin' through!... Oh, crap. I can't believe... Oh, man, I'm in love. Help me! I'm drowning! (COUGHS) What are you standing here next to me for? Go talk to her, man. No! I'm not gonna... She'll dig you. She called you crap. Thanks again. This is the third time you've been unconscious this week. It's not very good for your brain. I know. Bye, Lani. OK. (PROTESTS) Yeah, that was awesome, how you saved his life and all. That was just... unbelievable. Really. (CHUCKLES) Yeah. You here for the surf contest? Er... Mm-hm. Well, I'll be watching you. Really? You'll be watching me? From the lifeguard's station. Oh! Yeah. It's my job. Right, that's your job. You gonna kiss her or what? (GIGGLES) Come on. We gotta go. You said you were in love. No, I didn't. He really digs you. Joe! He likes you, though. See ya! Yeah, I love my job. I have an amazing job. This week, with the contest coming up, it's a little crazy. You really have to be extra, extra attentive. You have so many guys in the water, you can't miss a thing. But you know what? I have a perfect record. I've never lost anybody. Sure, there've been close calls... Help! Arnold, I turn my back for one... Just lay some feeling on her. How do you mean? You know, through words... Walk me through the approach. I'm Lani. You're me. You sure about that? I get real serious. Let's not. Let's not. Whoa! What is it? That's it! That's Big Z's shrine! Remember? Yeah... No. No, not really. 'Today the world of surfing lost one of its legends.' 'Big Z took his final ride this morning during a competition with up-and-coming surfer Tank Evans.' 'Z was last seen paddling into a massive swell off Pen Gu Bay.' 'Friends of Big Z gathered to remember and celebrate his life.' (BANGING) Great shot! And another! Yes! Hey! Every time. He's got a pretty good throwing fin. Hey! Stop it! Cut it out! That's, like, three in a row. Here. Give it a shot. (GRUNTS) Hey! What... Wait a minute. (CHUCKLES) Look at this. Don't... It's a Big Z necklace. Stop it. That's not funny. Stop. (LAUGHS) Hey! What are you doing? Look! It's Big Z's last fan! Come on! Let's go. Don't talk about him. He's a Big Zero. Shut up! Zero starts with Z. You'll never be good as him, Stank! (ALL GASP) Hey, hey, people! Come on, now. Smile on your brother... Keep your girlfriend out of this! You can't do that to my friend! (GROWLS / GRUNTS) Wow, you're getting quite a workout. That feels good. Hey, why don't you work on my glutes a little bit? That's very nice. Whoa, whoa, whoa! Alright! That's enough, guys. I'll take you on any time, anywhere! Oh! Well, how about right here, right now, huh? Hey, Mikey! Get this kid a board! Alright! Who wants to see the little guy take on the champ? Little guys rule! (ALL CHEER) A little one-on-one surfing action between Tank Evans and... Jerry... Cody. Cody Maverick. Cody Mavencourt. And the one that rides the biggest wave wins! 'Are you nervous about going against Tank Evans?' 'Nervous? What do I have to be nervous about?' (GASPS) Yeah! (APPLAUSE) Give it up! (ALL CHEER) I'm gonna chum the water with your head. Bring it on, pecker face. "Pecker face"? (BOTH) It's mine! (ALL CHEER) 'When you take your first wave and the whole island's watching, what's it gonna be like?' 'Amazing.' 'It's gonna be the best wave of my life.' I hope the camera's rolling, you'll wanna watch it over and over again. 'It's gonna be awesome!' (SCREAMS) (SCREAMS) (SCREAMS) (SCREAMS) (ALL) Ooh! I can't look! Poor kid! This poor kid! That was spectacular! Whoa! I'm number one! The Tank! (GASPS) Watch out! (GASPS) (GASPS) We're trying to get the details. The lifeguard's just pulled him in. That's what happens when you take on the Tank, right? Cody! Cody! How is he? Is he OK? Yeah, he's OK. I can help, except if there's blood. Just the thought of blood makes... Makes me... Oh. Somebody help the chicken. Tank, you OK? Tank needs fuel. (SCREAMS) Mikey, get the board. Ugh! Tastes like sh... Come on. OK, come on! (COUGHS) Did I win? I won, huh? You should've stayed in Antarctica, kid. Oh, wow... You're gonna be OK. Look at that! There's pixies everywhere. (GROANS) Shh... What do you guys think about Cody possibly winning a contest? I'm... Ha. Why did you just laugh? Cos he keeps saying "possible", like it's possible that you're gonna win, like you're gonna do anything. I mean, really, what are the chances? They're high. Aren't they high? I mean, they're normal chances. (MAKES PLANE-CRASH SOUND) I'm not the underdog. (THUNDER BOOMS) (GASPS) Hey, Geek! Geek! Geek! Get up and help me. Geek... (SNORING) Geek... Geek! (SNORES) (YELPS) Wake up! I need your help. Lani... Get off your lazy butt and come and help me. Beautiful dream... OK. Did you ever know Sheila? No. Wait, wait, wait, wait. Who's this guy? He's a surfer. He's hurt. Who are all those guys? They're with him. Ignore them. Lani, Lani, what are you doing? They'll go away. Oh. Hey, get out of here! Whoa! Help him! Where do you want him? Nowhere. That's the point. No outsiders, Lani. I know! I know! This is an emergency. He went down bad over the falls. I don't know if he,... if he... Did he hit the reef? I dunno. I'm not sure. I got him... Is he your boyfriend, huh? No, no. Wait, wait. Oh... Looks like he stepped on a fire urchin. Stepped on me? Stepped on me? Are you kiddin'? This guy was dancing on me. Look. Broken, broken, gone, gone, broken, broken, broken... This is pretty bad. This is... This is really bad. Ow! (SCREAMS) Cody! You're gonna be OK. That hurt. Ohh. I shouldn't have taken that out. Poison's released. Wow, amazing! What's amazing? That you're still alive. It's alright. I'm gonna fix you up. I can fix your foot just fine. Where is it? I've been looking everywhere... It's a saw! Don't let him move. He's pushing the poison all over his body. Come on, come on... Come on, Geek. Here it is. (THUNDER RUMBLES) (WHISTLES) What are you doing? What is he doing? A sure-fire cure. I learned it from an old medicine man. It... Well, it works wonders. What? No! Not that! Not what? What is he...? (SIGHS) Come on, now. Geek, stop. Let's do this. Lani... Can you make some water sounds? This is so gross. Psssshhh... Come on, come on. No, no, no, no, no! No, you... (SPLASHING) (THUNDER RUMBLES / CODY SCREAMS) Ow! You better keep your mouth shut. Ow! See? What did I tell ya? Hold his foot still. Knock him out or something. I'm running on empty! I'm trying... (YELLS) (SIGHS) (SPLASHING CONTINUES) So,... how've you been? * Wow, a sea urchin in the foot? That sounds pretty nasty. Yeah. How do you cure that? You pee on it. (BOTH GIGGLE) Oh, that's disgusting. I know! Hey,... how long am I stuck with this guy? Till he feels better. Well,... come back soon... Bring some clams. I'm running low. No. I can't keep doing this. Start taking care of yourself. Come on... Bye. Bring me some more clams! OK! (MOANS) What happened...? (BURPS LOUDLY) If it's OK with you, I don't wanna talk about Cody. He lost. That's his problem, not mine. Aren't you concerned? He's fine. He was born in the water. Did you see that wave hit him? Yeah, dude. That's the whole idea of surfing. I care. I care! Mikey! Wait till you see this. Look at those little legs. Tick-tick-ticky. It's the way I walk. And I'm constantly... Boom-chikka... What's with the boom-chikka-boom? I can't stand blood. Can't stand the sight of blood. I can't stand... the sight of blood. Cody! Dude, have you seen my friend Cody? Uh-uh. No. Cody? (GRUNTS) Cody? He's not under there. (YELLS) Cod-eeeeeeeee! (VOICE ECHOES) How's it goin', man? So, I woke up this morning and I didn't know where I was, and it's never a good place to be when you wake up. Come on! (GROANS) Get up. Breakfast. Wakey-wakey! Come on! I don't want to. Ow! How's your foot? My foot's fine, but my head... Good, good. Come on. Get up. What the... (SNIFFS) Shh... Oof! Yeah, I think I got a concussion... Agh! Sheesh! You should meet my brother, Glen. You'd hit it off. Oh... No, no, no. Where's my necklace? You seen my necklace? It's gotta be... (SIGHS) Oh, no-no-no... Ah, big deal. Get yourself another one at Reggie's trinket shops. No, it's not just some necklace! He gave it to me himself. Who? Big Z, when he came to Shiverpool. That guy believed in me when no one else did. He told me to find a way, cos that's what winners do. What winners do. Yeah. It's funny, what a loser I became. Who cares what Big Z said? You gotta,... you know, do things your own way. I don't... You know, I don't have a way. Ah, well, you do now. Just follow this. It'll take you back to North Beach. OK. Nice to meet you. Good luck. # "Just Say Yes" - Ken Andrews # I don't know which way I should turn 'What do I do? I can't show my face on the beach. I can't go home.' # I'm too afraid of getting burned 'You visualise where you'll be, what you'll do.' # When all the wells have come up dry 'This ain't it.' # It's hard to take another try # But I pick myself # Up off the floor # And try my best just like I did before # Just say yes (PANTS) (CHUCKLES AWKWARDLY) What are you doing here? There. (GASPS) Oh, man! Thank you, man! This... That's really cool of you to come back. Better keep that knot tight. You lose it during a contest, it's a goner. Yeah, well, I'm not going in any surf contests. Ah, well, there's more to surfing than beating Tank Evans, you know. Yeah. Ah, look at that! You know what you're sitting on there? Huh? That's koa wood. (TAPS) Best surfboards in the world are made of that stuff. Yeah. You got a koa board? No. I don't have a board board. Ah. Well... Well, er,... you wanna make one? Nah. What? Man, I come all the way back here with your necklace, and I offer to make you a board, and you say "nah"? Get off your lazy butt! We're making a board. Come on. Alright! It's gonna be the best board you ever had. OK. OK, man. Alright? (GRUNTS) Cody? (FEROCIOUS ROAR) That's cool. Can you tell us why you're out here looking for Cody? You know, we've known each way back, since, like, yesterday, I think it was. We got a lot in common. I never really knew my father, either. (BOTH GRUNT) Why are you making surfboards in the middle of the jungle? I'm just trying to understand. I don't get it. Forget the 20 questions. Let's just get the board made, hm? OK. It's just... Are you a surfer or do you... I mean, what are... Uh! (CHUCKLES) Ha-ha, very funny. Less talk, more pushing. Come on. Why are we pushing it, anyway? Why not roll it? Because... (SCREAMS) Oh, I'm sorry. I didn't know your foot was there. You OK? Ow! Sorry! Sorry! I didn't intentionally do it. Sorry. Hey! Whoa! Hey! Cody, Cody, the log... I know! Agh! Get it, get it! Stop, stop! Stop, stop, stop, stop! Cody, grab the vine! Grab... Grab the vine! (GRUNTS) Now pull it! I'm trying! (GRUNTS / GROANS) (GROANS / YELLS) Agh! Cody! (SCREAMS) Geek! Cody! (SCREAMS) Aghhhhhh! Geek! (SCREAMS) (THUDDING / CRASHING) Oh, no-no-no-no-no! (SCREAMS / GASPS) Help me up so I can kick your butt. (CHUCKLES) I thought I'd killed you. Are you OK? Next time when I say don't roll... No, no. What's that? What's that? That's a beach. Sand, water, sun... You seen one, you seen 'em all. Come on, let's get out of here. No, let's go check it out. Ow! Ow! (SCREAMS) (GRUNTS) You think Cody and the Geek are alright? Yeah. I hate him living alone. It's good for him to have something to do. (GRUNTS) Hey! It's somebody's old board shack. Look at this! Whoa, whoa, whoa... These are Big Z's boards. Yeah, these are Big Z's boards. He rode this in the Australian Open. (LAUGHS) This is the board he rode when he came to Shiverpool, man. This... I... I can't... Geek! This is Big Z's place, man! It's where he lived! This is where he made his boards! Did you know this was here? Why didn't you wanna come down? 'And then he went up to this old shack, you know?' (STRUMS POIGNANT PHRASE) 'And I realised, you know, it was Z.' I could tell he needed some space and some time to himself. I didn't wanna ask him all these questions, so... ..I just kinda stood there quietly... You're Big Z! (LAUGHS) I can't believe it! You're alive! You're alive! That's the respectful way to go. Why are you alive? Tell me everything! Start at the beginning and just go! Kid, kid! You're gonna hurt yourself. Relax! People said you were dead! But you're not. You're in hiding. Did something happen? Something happened. You saw something you weren't supposed to see! Are you nuts? It's not a conspiracy. It's no big deal. What happened? I don't wanna talk about it. OK, you don't... I got it. I'll be over here if you need anything, or you feel like talking or... Whatev... Do you feel like talking now? Go away. Got it. Alright. I'm going away. Unless you... Cody! Got it. OK. I'm not gonna lie to you. This is... It's huge, man! It changes everything. The contest is a few days away. If I can get him to train me, then, that's... Boom! I mean, I could win this with him. It's my dream. I don't wanna give up on that dream. Winners find a way, no matter what, right? A winner is... (GRUNTS EAGERLY) They see their goals. They just go for it. It's not money or glory. A winner is,... Oh! Hey! ..like... The surfer who's having the most fun. Yeah. It's a lot of fun. Right, no, I get you. What's winning without the losers? They're in it for the joy, the rapture, the slow-motion replay... Mikey, go to the snack bar and get yourself a big bowl of shut up! Feels better when there's losers around. Was that your question? Well, a winner's somebody who doesn't knock me off my surfboard and break it when I'm trying to get some big waves, especially Tank. He is definitely not a winner. He's a dirty trash can full of poop. I can't remember a time when I wasn't surfing. My mom put me right on there. Pooped me out, put me right on there. What do you love about surfing? I love being the centre of attention because it's really where I should be. And, er, I love the looks my ladies give me, you know, the little glint. I love that. I love holding the ladies. You know what I'm talking about? Er, I think so,... sort of. Come with me. I put this curtain in myself. These are my ladies. (SULTRY INCIDENTAL MUSIC) This is Jill. This is my lady Amy. Little Suzie. Briana. You know why we call her Briana, right? No. It's a long story. Shaniqua, Helga, Miss Kitty, Jeannie. I dream of, er... Theresa. This is Theresa right here. Is Theresa... Is that your... Dirty girl. This spot... This spot is for my special lady, Lia. I'm gonna say that one more time. Lia... Oh, yeah. That's a sweet, sweet la- Tank, are you polishing your trophies again?! I... I... Mom, I... I wasn't polishing! I was talking to my friends. I'm gonna be polishing later. * When's he coming out? I'm gonna run out of film. Hey! Hey! Mr Topanga! Could you tell us why you're not dead? No! I am dead! I'm dead. Whoa, whoa, whoa! Freakin'... (YELLS) What are you doing? Hey! Who said you... Turn the board around. Get back here. No! Come out here and show me some moves! No, no, no. Why not? Grab a board and come out. Hey, you wanna kill yourself, fine. Just don't mess up my board. How do you turn this thing? It's not a short board. Sit back. (WHISTLES) Hey! Watch the wave. (GURGLES) You mess up my board, I'm messing up your other foot. Hey, I'm just trying to ride this canoe or whatever, OK? Stop trying so hard! Relax! What do you mean, rela... (SCREAMS) Long, smooth strokes! Dig deep. Dig! Come on. I'm digging, I'm digging! Nose up! Keep it up! Watch it, you're pearling! (LAUGHS) Oof! What are you doing? Come on. Please? Z, I can't learn anything with you on the beach. Well, then, you're not gonna learn anything. Now, come on in. Z, I'm not coming in until you come out. Oh, you're coming in, alright. He's not even watching the wave. What wave? That one. Five, four, three, two, and... (SCREAMS) (COUGHS) Don't touch my stuff, man. I couldn't help it. I... I just wanted to learn from the best. Yeah? Well,... ..I don't surf any more. (COUGHS) What? What do you mean, you don't surf? You wanna learn the right way? Er,... sure! Then, you gotta make your own board, alright? But what do you mean, you don't... Can't hear ya. Can I just ask... You're making a board. Tell me about your board. Erm... I just have a, er, palm-tree board. I would have to say, it's not the nicest board in the world but it is a pretty good board. The ancient Hawaiians believed that mana, or heart, is transferred into the board as you shape it. What are your thoughts? What's up with the hair? You could fit a whole fish in there. My dream surfboard... It's pretty powerful. You can add a lot of attachments to it, like a grenade launcher. Anybody know whose board this is? The chicken's. Has anybody seen the chicken? Cody! I know he's out here. I can feel it in my nuggets. Aren't you nervous in the jungle? It's dangerous. The jungle's the most peaceful place on the planet. Oh! (THUDDING) Alright, hold it steady. It's a dream come true. This is a dream come true, to be here with Z, doing this. And it's koa wood. All the best boards are made of koa wood. Alright. Now... I drew this pattern as a guide. Now, do you wanna have your board with a lot of rocker or just a little? Er,... I dunno. I guess I'd like... What you want is something in between. Trust me. I'm the expert here. OK? OK. So, here are your shaping tools. Now, remember, the board's already inside there, see, somewhere, and what you're doing is you're trying to find it, reveal it. OK. Alright. Every carve counts. (SIGHS) Why are you smiling? Don't smile. I'm not. I'm excited. This isn't like hacking a piece of ice. It takes patience... and finesse! Alright, already! Just gimme the tools, please. (SIGHS) Sheesh! Alright, take it. Go ahead. Thank you. Here we go. What are you doing? (SIGHS) Look, if you're gonna do it, you do it right. Alright. First of all, with the grain. With the grain! You see what I'm doing here? You let the tool... do the work. See? Just like you're riding the wave. You let the wave do the work. You don't fight the wave. You can't fight these big waves, Code. Long strokes. Loads of finesse... Find the board within the tree. Nice and easy... Yeah. I got it. See that? You just... Just... Maybe I could do it now. Go with... With the... Can I do it now? Ssh... (WHISPERS) Can I do it now? Yeah. (CLEARS THROAT) I got carried away. Sorry. It's your board. It's my board. With the grain. I got it. Don't forget to eyeball it once in a while. OK. Long strokes, with the grain. Not too long. (EXHALES) Here we go. You're doing it wrong, Cody. Will you just let me... I can't! No finesse when you're in my face! OK? Just let me make the board. Do you want my help? Do I... No, I don't want your help. I don't want your help. Oh, you don't want my help? I don't. Oh, alright. Fine. I just wanna make my board. Build the board yourself, man. Fine. Thank you. I don't care what the board looks like. You're the one who's got to ride it. Fine. I'll... Thank you. It's in there somewhere. Walk over there, please! Please. Don't cut yourself. So, it's day three, yeah? I, er... I come across Pen Guans. I'm Chicken Joe. Joseph. It's long for Joe. (SPEAKS PEN GUAN ANGRILY) Sweet, man. And, er,... know, they treat me as their king and put me in a hot tub. I guess their royal hot tub.

(PROTESTS IN PEN GUAN) Hey! (MAKES YUMMY NOISES) (LAUGHS) Oh, yummy! Yummy num-num! (ALL CHANT YUMMY NOISES) As enjoyable as it was, I still had a vision of my quest. Thank you. See you guys later. I got to get going. (ALL YELL IN PROTEST) Not again...! You know what else it was? I had the board. The board was fine. Great. (GRUNTS) Huh? How's it going? What? It's going great, man. It's great. It did look a little rough. A little rough? The board looked... It's a work in progress, bro! Is it good enough for the big waves? It's good enough for any wave! Ah! Ah, ah... Er, hang on. OK. Let's say I'm a big wave, yeah? Hold on. No, no, no, no, no, no! Hey, hey, hey... Where are you going? It's my board, man. Alright? Why don't you take your board and go try it out? That's what... Maybe I will, huh? Piece of junk? Watch! Oh, that was... a nice ride, man. Nice ride. You know, this is supposed to be fun. I got three days until the contest. I don't have time for fun! No. No time for fun, huh? Hey, Cody? What?! Bring me some clams when you come back! I'm not coming back! (CHUCKLES) Yeah, he'll be back. No, I won't! Ah, he'll be back. Hey, you guys like barbecue? (BOTH) Yeah. Sure. Got some wood here! I wasted my whole day and I have nothing to show for it... Agh! Oh. Oh. Er, I was just actually going to check on you. That's why you were... And the Geek. Listen. The Geek... Geek is Big Z. What? I know. You know? How'd you find out? At the beach... You got him to the beach? Yeah. I've been trying for ten years, and you got him there in one day? This is fantastic! Whoo-hoo! (GRUNTS) (LAUGHS) It's amazing! So... Do you wanna go somewhere fun? Er... Do you wanna go somewhere really, really fun? Er... Unless you wanna get back to Big Z. I'm sorry. No, no, no, no, no, no! What? No? Look, I wanna have fun. OK. Do I need, like, mints or something? (LAUGHS) You tell me. No, you won't need mints. Z used to carry us up here on his shoulders. We'd have so much fun. It's one of my favourite spots on Pen Gu. Really? Boy, to be eight years old again! What is this? You don't wanna get all cut up. Hold on. What are you doing? No, no! No, no, no! I'm outta here. I'm better off with... (BOTH SHRIEK) # "Wipe Out" - Big Nose No-no-no-no-no-no-no! Oh! Whoa! Oh! Whoo-hoo! Oh, it's going down...

(GASPS) Wait! Don't take the left turning! (SCREAMS) (LAUGHS) Give up, slowpoke! It's over with now! Not for long! Give up now, sucker! (LAUGHS) I beat ya! Congratulations. You sure did. You should probably get out of there. Why? This stuff's so beautiful. Look at it! What is this stuff? See those things up above you? They're glow-worms. Right. So, you're right beneath them. Uh-huh? Yeah. That's poop. (GURGLES) (LAUGHS) (BOTH LAUGH) * You know how some stinks stink and other stinks smell good? Yeah. This is, like, a good stink. A good stink? Can I tell you something personal? We're in the shower together. Say whatever you want. I'm serious! I'm really, really, really jealous of you. Why? I couldn't get Z off his butt for the last ten years, and then you come along and... He must really think a lot of you. I dunno. I've been a jerk to him, so I don't know what he thinks... No, you haven't. I have. I've been a jerk. I have. Well, then, go... not be a jerk. What does it matter to you, anyways? He's my uncle. He's the only family I've got. (BOTH LAUGH) OK.

(LAUGHS) Oh, look at that. Ah, that's the best place in the world to be, in the tube. Really? Oh, yeah. Better than winning, the trophy, all that stuff. Tube riding is the ultimate thing in surfing, to ride inside the wave and make it out of it. It's all we wanna do every day. It's almost impossible to describe. There's nothing I can compare it to. It's a feeling that you know not too many people will experience, and so it's special in that sense. Then you try to remember it, like, "I wish I could remember that," or get that again." It's just so addictive. Once you get inside, you never wanna get out. Wow... That's amazing. Oh, yeah, man. Nothing like it. OK. So, that aside, how many points would you get for getting tubed? Like, what does it depend on, for the contest? Is it... Points? (SIGHS) What? You know who you sound like right now? I promote happiness! Can you see the happiness emanating from me? Mr Belafonte, we're live. Huh? Oh, good. Good. I have to say, I have no doubt that this year's Big Z Memorial is gonna be just the best ever.

Squidito on el stickito. (SNIFFS) Karamatusu! (ALL YELL JOYFULLY) Oh, check it out! Dude, dude,... have you seen my friend Cody? You know, he's kind of like a penguin. Erm,... he's got, like, a lot of black... Yum-yum-yum! Ha-ha! How'd you learn how to surf? I saw Big Z do it, actually. Er, I don't think you were born yet. I wasn't? No. I don't think so. I like Lani when she teaches us... (SNIFFS) ..because... Smudge, not another one! I think he has to go to the bathroom right now. What's next? The board's done. What are we doing? Board's done? Yes. Oh, well, er, let's do some training. What do you say? Finally! Can we get a shot... No. You gotta get a long shot! Hey, Z, come on! Hey... Where are you going? You said we were gonna train. Not in the water! Jeez, what are you thinking? You wanna surf like Big Z used to? Yeah. I've got some tests here to figure out your potential. Let's do it. No, put them on your eyes! Like this. Yeah. On my eyes? (LAUGHS) Take it, Cody. Can we do some training? Like, seriously, please? What do you think we're doing? Acting like a bunch of nut jobs. Yeah, good! You're learning. Yah! And a big set comes in! (YELLS) (CACKLES) Wipeout! That's it! Take it easy! That's it, Z! This is getting ridiculous. You having fun? I hate you. Whoosh! Big and slow. Whoo-hoo! And he does a flip over the top. Alright. Now you go. (FLATLY) Look, and ooh, ooh. No joy, man. No joy. Fail. (EXHALES) I'm starting to see it, man. I think I know what you're talking about. (GIGGLING) Oh, that's great. As long as we're all having fun. Z, wake up. Wake up, Z. (SNORTS / SNORES) (BELLOWS) Z! (SNORES) Hey, Z! Breakfast! Not a chance! Four, three... You have to get up earlier... ..two... (SCREAMS) One. (LAUGHS HYSTERICALLY) That's... (LAUGHS) That is fun. You're having fun, huh? Yes. Now I am. Oh. Well, then, Cody,... you passed. What? You did it. You're ready. Let's surf! Come on! Don't play with me, Z. We're surfing? Whoo-hoo! Yes! Yes! Yeah! Hey, check it... Oh! # "Into Yesterday" - Sugar Ray Ha-ha!

You weren't so bad yourself, kiddo. Thanks to this guy. Nah. I just pointed you in a direction. Question, Z. Hmm... You changed your mind about the song. No! It goes something like this. No! I was wondering if you'd come watch me ride tomorrow. # This ukulele... Yeah, we'll both ride, man. No, not just... In the contest! Contest? What contest? The Big Z Memorial. You remember that one? I know I'm asking a lot. But it would really, really be the biggest thing in the world to me if you could come. You still wanna be a part of all that? Absolutely. What do you want me there for, anyway? I thought you'd wanna be there. I don't know why it's a big deal. It's no big deal. (SIGHS) Why won't you come? I'm... I'm not coming. Why? Give it a rest. It's getting cold. Why are you hiding? Hiding? Hiding. I'll have to eat these by myself. Why didn't you come back after you fell off the wave? Oh, that wave... (SIGHS) That last day, winning had become everything to me. I knew I was gonna beat Tank. But then, you know, he starts to surf circles around me. I saw what he was doing. I couldn't do what he was doing. Times had changed, you know? He... I didn't wanna walk on that beach with all my fans there, a loser, everyone looking at Big Z, the loser, the has-been. So... Poof! Big Z's dead, and that's how it's gonna stay. Let me play you that song. (STRUMS INTRO) Wh... What about "never give up"? What about "find a way"? Yeah, well... You're giving up, Z. Yeah, I'm giving up. That's my way. Giving up. I thought you were the one guy. You don't like it, find your own way. Leave me out of it. Leave me out of it. Z!

(PANTS) (ALL CHEER) Cody! Cody! Cody! Whoo! He made it? Yeah! Good! What an amazing first ride! Mind-blower for Maverick! You guys see that? Oh, man! I thought I was gonna lose it, then I just... I let go. I let go, and there it was. Wow! It's been an amazing day of shredding in less-than-stellar conditions, but I never would have guessed our three finalists. Sal, it's no surprise that Tank Evans has just breezed his way into the finals. And Cody Maverick, from a horrible wipeout a few days ago to this. And Chicken Joe from Sheboygan. Who would've guessed it? I have never seen a finals like this! We're in the finals! No way! We get to surf some more? Isn't it exciting? Look at that. This is great, huh? Hey, you should know this. Tank loves you. Looks like this'll be the easiest year ever. Oh, no way! Cody, did you hear that? It's gonna be easy! Are you loving this? (ALL CHEER) Who would you like to see win? It's not so important to me. Friends are better than anything in the world. Friends are forever. Trophies, you never know what could... (HICCUPS) ..happen to them. (HICCUPS) That was awesome! Muy impresivo! Thank you, bro. Thank you, guys. Wow! Finals! Hey! Yeah. No, I know. It's... It's... I can't even... I know. I can win this thing. It's too much. Well, that's why you came. What? What was that supposed to mean? You made it pretty clear that winning's more important to you than Z or me but, hey, you get your stupid trophy. Lani, come on! Come here, you. How about this? Let me tell you something. You win this thing, you and me, we're going places! Huh? Hey! Look at this kid! He is a champ. (ALL CHEER) Chicken Joe, you're the bro! Tank, nine-time defending champion. He will roll on you! It's basically a contest for second place. First I'm gonna take you down, then I'm gonna fry the chicken. Whoa... That cloud looks just like a kitten! Aww! (HORN BLARES) # "Big Wave" - Pearl Jam # I used to be crustacean... Maverick and Evans take off! Oi! And it's Evans dropping in! Tank's playing games, blocking Maverick's every move. And Evans takes a rail! Tank Evans down! I have never, ever seen this before! (ALL SQUEAL) But I'd love to see it again. Cody trying to take back the wave that Tank snaked from him. Evans toying with him, not paying attention, there's the outside rail! It's Maverick with this new-school move - we'll call the Maverick. And look at this! Maverick's scoring big. Oh, it's so cute. It's got the little paws, and... ..the whiskers... Whoa. Chicken Joe with a no-paddle drop-in! Vroom... Here we go! Nobody needs to help this chicken! Whoo-hoo! I'm flying! Karamatusu! Maverick and Joe tied. And no score for Tank Evans? Unbelievable! "Surfers, this is your final wave." Yo, man! This is it! This wave wins it! Yeah, man! Whoo! This wave is stacking up to be a beautiful tube. Maverick should score big on this one. (YELLS) Wait! Evans drops in! It looks like Evans is gonna take out the chicken! What's Maverick doing? Go, Joe! Go! Got it. I don't believe this. This contest was Maverick's to win, and now Evans pushing Maverick out of bounds and into the Boneyards! (ALL GASP) Whoa! (GASPS) Tank, look out! You look out. (LAUGHS / SCREAMS) (GRUNTS) Uh! Uh! Code! Z! Code! Cody, come on! Z! Paddle! Come on, dig! Faster! Come on, dig! Dig! Don't dig! Don't dig! What? Let the wave carry you, Cody. Z!

This is a reminder of the young surfer who gave his life for the sport he loved. (BOTH GASP) Ah, there you are. (COUGHS) I can't believe it! I can't believe it... You came back. You saved my life, man. Thank you, man! Hey, hey, hey! Come on, come on. You're gonna tip us! (SIGHS) Well,... I lost. Yeah. Me, too. (CHUCKLES) Come on. Let's go, loser. You wanna help me out here?

Hey, come back here! You don't walk away! Come on! Folks, it looks like he's taking this loss pretty hard. How's it feel to lose after nine times... I wasn't kissing her. You can't have her! (ALL YELL) Guys, guys, can we get a few words? Hey, bro. You gave up the trophy to help Joe. What's that about? Well, Rob, that's what friends do. How's it feel to win, Joe? Huh? I won?

I can't imagine a better day! (ALL CHATTER / LAUGH) Dude, this... This whole experience has just been... It's amazing. Z... I don't think I've ever had a better friend to me in my life. It's just really cool to have everything I need. Don't do it! Help! Oh, Arnold! To be honest, man, I'm kind of bored of talking about myself, so... Is that cool? You guys got what you need? Yeah.
