MACK: Are we there yet?
Almost.
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.
(GIRL 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 Wet Side Story on my tablet.
And I thought, "Who is the surfer dude with the shiny hair?"
-And you said... -(CHUCKLES)
"Wanna watch the 'awesomest movie ever made?"
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.
-You ready? -Mm-hmm.
(EXHALES)
TANNER (ON VIDEO): In a way, it's almost too bad it's almost all over.
(SINGING) 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
-A one, two, three, four... -Five, six, seven, eight!
Crazy how we got this chemistry
Oh
Crashing like a wave of energy
Oh
Have you heard, it's a fact
Ah-ah-opposites attract
Some cats like that Vroom-vroom need for speed
Oh
And some dogs like that Chill, chill ocean breeze
Oh
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

Rockin' every night and day

The best summer ever
Rockin' every night and day

It all adds up to feeling like
The best summer ever
-Yeah! -Best summer ever
Whoo!
Thought it's cool To own the beach alone
Ah!
But it's hotter Electric when we're close
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!
(GIGGLING)
(SINGING) We can't stop singing 'Cause the surf's up

-Just like me -Just like me

-Sayonara. -Hasta lasagna.
-Hasta luego. -Aloha.
-Shalom. -Au revoir.
Ciao.
Best summer
Ever
Oh
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)
Mack, you think things will be different for us at school?
Well, we were in school all last year together.
Yeah, 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 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?
MACK: No, Brady.
There's nothing we can do now.
I'm sorry.
I should probably go in.
Yeah. Sure.
-(SCHOOL BELL RINGS) -(UPBEAT POP MUSIC PLAYS)
Whoo-hoo!
Whoo! (LAUGHS)
Whoo! Windy bluff! Yeah!
First day back! Oh, no way!
-(LAUGHS) Whoo! -Yo, dude-man!
First day of school!
(BOTH YELL, LAUGH)
(INHALE)
(BOTH YELL, LAUGH)
Wham, wham. Bap, bap.
-Whoo! -Yeah.
-Tss, tss. -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. -Ah, 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. -(BRADY CHUCKLES)
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. -All right.
Three-pointer! (LAUGHS)
Oh, oh. Let's go.
-(SCHOOL BELL RINGS) -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.
Ah! (LAUGHS)
-Hey, how was your summer? -Oh, big yawn.
Science camp was epic, the college tour was fab.
And don't even get me started on the Student Government conference.
I'm glad you came back this year.
I don't know what I would've done If you'd gone to that prep school.
Yeah, I'm glad I'm back, too.
-Oh, here. -Oh, what's this?
Uh, well, I made a deal with myself.
To stay 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 conference?
Spencer Watkins.
The literally cutest guy in school.
-Mack. -Brady.
-Hey. -Hi.
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?
-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 sub-committee meeting.
How's Easter looking for you?
-(CHUCKLES) -(SCHOOL BELL RINGS)
Oh, um, we have marine biology together, right?
-Third period? So, I'll see you then. -Sure, yeah.
-Cool. All right. -Okay.
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.
(UPBEAT POP MUSIC PLAYS)
What's up, my pucker-faced little buddy?
-(CLEARS THROAT) -Sorry.
Sorry.
Hmm...
TEACHER: ...this reaction...
No.
(INDISTINCT CHATTER)
-Hey. -Hey.
-What you working on? -Uh, noth... nothing.
Okay.
This is fantastic. 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.
Thanks, Alyssa, I appreciate it.
-(GLASS SHATTERS) -(ALYSSA SCREAMS)
So, Mack, uh, I'm happy that you're in this class.
I heard 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!
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, surf club.
You just hang out... and surf.
-Spencer, this is Brady. -Brady, it's...
I've seen you surf. You're amazing. Pleasure to meet you.
-Uh... -Um...
Right, yeah.
-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.
-(MACK 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.
-Oh, wha... -I made a volcano!
-Uh-oh. -That's so sick!
Oh, gnarly.
Dude, look at this! What?
Oh, my gosh.
BRADY: 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 because I got you, like, eight.
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 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.
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 I have to check out.
Yes, of course. I'll be there.
-In actual shoes? -Sure.
-(LAUGHS) -Okay.
-Yeah. See you. -Bye.
Guess I'll go surf by myself.
-SURFER: Brady. -Hey, bro.
Whoa.
Okay. Universal online college application.
Hm... "What personal attributes uniquely qualify you
as an extraordinary applicant?"
Are you kidding me?
(SCOFFS)
(SINGING) It's a bikini wonderland
Summer's on...
Let's see. Deeper bottom curve, not on steep waves.
How do you increase water displacement so it rides smoother?
-(TAPPING) -Hey, Mom.
How's that going?
It's going. Slowly. Very slowly.
Mm...
Wow. How's that going?
It's going. I mean, I've opened it up. I've stared at it.
Mm. 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...
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 six.
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.
-Mm-hmm. -I think.
Along with "ready" and Lewis.
-That is a very long name. -(GIGGLES)
-Okay, Tanner. -GIRLS: It's okay.
I'll just wait right here for you, and...
Well, actually, why don't I come, too?
-(NEEDLE SCRATCHES ON RECORD) -Oh.
Uh, what?
-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.
-GIRL: What? -Uh, just one... Excuse us.
(LAUGHS)
Um, but girls aren't supposed to.
Right. I'm sorry.
I don't know where that came from.
-Forget about it. -(ALL CHUCKLE)
(PANTING) Okay.
Go, Tanner. Be safe.
Be brave.
You're my hero.
(SIGHS)
Oh!
Let's go!
-(ALL SHOUTING) -(SURF ROCK PLAYS)
-GIRL 1: Come back soon! -GIRL 2: So brave!
-(THUNDER RUMBLING) -What was...
No!
No, no.
Yes!
(GASPS) No! Thanks, grandma.
(SINGING) I got something on my mind
Someday soon Gonna make you mine
Tongue-tied, twisted inside out
Grandma?
Got no choice I'm gonna scream and shout...
Yes!
Come on
What? Oh!
Yes. Whoo!
Now I know just what I want
Looking so right That you know it's wrong
(THUNDER CRASHES)
-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... I better be going.
In case you need it.
I will see you guys tomorrow.
BRADY: You could've at least shot me a text.
-I did. Twelve. -No, you didn't.
-Yeah, check your phone. -What?
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's happening with us? -You tell me.
Seems 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. Ah, 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?
(PLAYING DRUMBEAT)
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
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...
-(GASPS) -Nice of you to drop in.
I guess I literally fell for you, huh?
(DINGS)
Falling for you

-Put me down. -(NEEDLE SCRATCHES RECORD)
-(CRASHING) -(MURMURING)
Oh! (GASPS)

I don't know.
This whole thing, I just... I can't do it anymore.
It's not you, Tanner. You're a great guy.
Of course I am.
I have to go.
(ALL GASP)
Where is she going?
(LAUGHS)
Okay. Excuse me, guys. Excuse me. Sorry.
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. I... They were swell.
But, uh, but 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.
Wha... what?
Oh.
Goodbye, bikers.
Goodbye, surfers.
Goodbye, people always standing around in the background,
who never speak, whose names I don't know.
Oh!
-(MUMBLES) -(ALL GASP)
-(GRUNTING) -(ALL GASP)
-We gotta stop her, right? -I mean, we definitely could.
-But water makes me a 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.
Lela, come back.
maybe I'd save the low voice for someone who can actually hear you.
She's already in the ocean.
(WHIMPERING)
Aw, where's they goings?
-TANNER: Lela! -LELA: Oh!

-(TANNER WHIMPERS) -LELA: Oh!
-MAN 1: Let's get our boards. -MAN 2: All right.
-Those fellas are made of rubber! -Oh, golly.
(ROCK GUITAR SOLO PLAYS)

So we went into the water and then came out of the water.
And now it's daytime, we saw rubber people, and boat cycles...
-I think we're lost. -Here. Use my phone.
-(PHONE BEEPS) -SIRI: I didn't quite get that.
The little box just spoke to us.
(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.
-(BEEPS) -SIRI: What was that again?
Hello, lady in the little box.
SIRI: 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. -BRADY: Of course.
You're cleaning the beach at my favorite 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?
(LAUGHING) hey!
-Lela! Tanner! -Lela, Tanner!
-Whoo! -BRADY: Tanner!
-You're real! -(SHOUTING)
(INDISTINCT SHOUTING)
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.
Bu... 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, on the beach, silly.
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. It's...
(GIGGLES) Oh!
Oh!
(SINGING) 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 want to be
I can't think of anywhere better
Right where I want to be
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
SIRI: Sorry, I didn't get that.
This is right where I want to be
I can't think of anywhere better
Right where I want to be
I'm gonna stay here forever And ever
And ever and ever
Do do do do Do do do do do
Ba ba da da da
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 want to be
This is right where I want to be
I can't think of anywhere better
Right where I want to be
We're gonna stay right here
Forever and ever
-Forever and ever -Forever and ever
Forever and ever
BRADY: Hey, wait up!
Do do do do do
I don't think I ever want to leave.
Come on, Tanner. Let's take a walk down this crazy beach of tomorrow.
(LAUGHS) 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.
-Come on. Lela and Tanner? -Yeah.
What could they possibly...
-On. Off! -(LAUGHS)
-On. -(LAUGHS)
Off again!
-On again. Off again... -Yeah, what are we gonna do with them?
Brady, is it just me, or is their hair totally dry?
(LAUGHING)
Yes, it's completely dry, just like when they surf in the movie.
On again! Off again! On again!
(LAUGHING)
Remember what happened to us when we got stuck in their world?
We almost zapped out of existence.
-We gotta get them home. -I know.
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...
we show them our world isn't as great as they think it is
so they want to go back.
And they'll take the necklace in the ocean and, boom,
-they're home. -Exactly.
(MUFFLED POP MUSIC PLAYS)
-Hey, where does the record go? -(MUSIC CONTINUES)
No, I know this technology stuff can be really complicated.
(CHANGES MUSIC)
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.
There's a ton of stuff in my wardrobe. Just pick something not too flashy.
Whoo! Goody.
Hm... (GASPS)
Is this out of sight on me, or what?
Yeah, totally out of sight.
(SINGING) I'm gonna look so out of sight I'm gonna look just like Mack
I'm gonna look so out of sight
(CHUCKLES) Oh, I love this song.
Uh, okay. Well, that's impossible.
(SINGING) When I see you...
-This looks good. Try this. -Ooh!
Pink. I love it.
I'm so in love with you
You're the sweetest...
-MACK: We're back in the '60s? -Ooh!
You're mine, all mine
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
So...you ready for school?
It's true
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 that 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.
-(BUBBLE POPS) -(ALL GASP)
But, no, that's not what's supposed to be happening right now. I...
You know, maybe somebody should sing something.
Maybe like Lela would've done if she was here.
I thought you'd never as... (GRUNTS)
-Cheechee. -Mm?
-Sing something. -But, I'm doing my nails.
-Oh! Whoa! Oh! -(MIC STATIC)

The day started ordinary
-Boys walking by -Walking by

What was that? What's the matters with yous?
-I thought you was gonna catch her. -I thought the same thing
-just not in time. -(RATTLING)
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 MURMURING)
Yeah, that's pretty nice.
BOY: You're really good at that.
(ELECTRIC ZAPPING)
I don't know why, but it just helps.
(INDISTINCT CHATTER)
Okay, guys. Welcome to school.
So, a few ground rules.
(SIGHS)
Okay, don't do anything that gives you guys away.
-No hair-wetting. -No clothes-changing.
That thing you do with your teeth.
-This thing? -(TOOTH DINGS)
-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.
(SINGING) We could just...
No, no, no, no. 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.
-(SINGING) Do do do do -Do do
Do do do do do Ba ba da da da
Do do do do do
Go get Lela.
-Don't...go get... -(BRADY GROANS)
Okay, man, stay close to me, act natural,
and just walk down the hallway and be cool, okay?
You got it. There's one thing I do better than anyone:
-walk down a school hallway. -Awesome.
Wait, wha...what?
(WOLF WHISTLE) Wow!
Listen here
(SINGING) You put the rock in my roll With the way you smile
You keep me up on my toes Got me running wild
You got my head going round Like a circle spinning
You make me mad
Then you give me grinning
Does it ring, ring, ring a bell?
'Cause you know How to kiss and tell
What have you heard? The rumors are true
That I, I, I I wanna be with you
You are the one for me
Yeah
-(PANTING) -People dig me.
DEVON: Brady, greetings, master-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 Olafur Einarsson?
Or, uh, Jonsdottir Gunnarsdotter?
Your hair is very pointy.
(LAUGHS) 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.
-(LAUGHS) -Rubber cement?
-Yeah. -Wicked! I love this dude!
All right. See you guys.
-What! -(BOTH LAUGH)
This place is so neat! Ah! (LAUGHS)
-(SCHOOL BELL RINGS) -(SIGHS)
So, what'd you think of calculus? Pretty brutal, right?
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?
-Mack, hey. -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... are totally our own.
Fair enough.
Hey, how's the, uh, Save The Beach dance shaping up?
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...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.
-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.
-(GIGGLES) -I did my philosophy camp thesis
-on female self-empowerment. -I can rebuild a motorcycle.
Really? 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!
-(BOTH GIGGLING) -ALYSSA: Oh, bye, Mack!
(SCOFFS) 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. -(WHIMPERS)
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, wh...where?
BRADY: The cafeteria.
(BOTH CHUCKLE)
-(SCREECHING) -(LAUGHING)
Okay.
-Hi, we're new here. -I could care less, spray-tan.
(LAUGHING)
Actually, it's Tanner. (LAUGHS) No spray, add an "er". Tanner.
-(LAUGHS) Tanner Lewis Ready Danger. -(GRUNTS)
-Oh, no, I... -(GRUNTS)
-Wha... I... -(GRUNTS)
-I mea... -(GRUNTS)
Get out of my face. (LAUGHS)
(GRUNTS)
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 angryisher.
Why is everyone sitting apart?
Well, come on, everyone. Where's your smile?
(GIGGLES)
(SINGING) It's so easy, anyone can do it
It's attached to you Here on your face
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 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

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?
(SINGING) There's only so much time Before the school bell rings
So try it out that smiling thing
(COWBELL RINGS)
Twist that frown upside down
You gotta twist that frown 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

Twist it upside down
We will never speak of this ever again.
-(CRYING) -Bye! (GIGGLES)
Okay, what is going on here?
-It's like we're bored or something. -We's not bored, Butchy.
-We's confused. -Yeah.
(ELECTRIC ZAPPING)
-Spit it out. -CHEECHEE: Spit it out.
-Spit it out. -Spit it out!
Look!
-(GROANS) -(ALL GASP)
(WHIMPERS) One of them surfer guys
who's always standing behind us and never says nothing,
-He just up and... -Sparkled up and vanished...
Into thin airs!
-Like a magician. -(GASP)
Doing a magic trick...on himself.
(GASP)
Dude, you got some bodacious pipes. You totally have to be in my surf band.
I play a gnarlacious didgeridoo.
-(BEATBOXING) -Thanks! Why are we talking so loudly?
-Later, my hombre. -See you later! Okay!
Oh, Lela. Hi. Um... (CLEARS THROAT)
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. -(CHUCKLES)
Those are wonderful, Tanner, but I can't.
We have calculus homework. It's so exciting.
Oh. Oh, okay. Uh, well, have fun. (CHUCKLES)
Without me.
We're further than ever from talking them into going back.
You watch Lela, I'll watch Tanner.
(SIGHS)
I learned all these new things. Then I was like,
"Why don't I make a new look?" So I did it
and it was renegade rebel, you know?
(LAUGHING) And then... What was the other one?
I can't think of what it was.
Oh, yeah. Mysterious wanderer.
And then, uh, thinking guy. (LAUGHS, SCREAMS)
-Here. Check this out. -Oh, thanks. Mm.
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.
(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. (LAUGHS)
(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... I still have that feeling.
-Worry? -Yeah. Yeah.
I'm worried that Lela wanted to come to this strange world
because I wasn't enough for her.
(CHUCKLES)
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.
We kind of hit a rough patch.
I've been working on something I haven't told her about yet.
What is it?
(CHUCKLES) Come on.
-TANNER: 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 favorites.
It's my surfboard suitcase.
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!
-Yeah. -Wait, you made all this stuff?
-Uh-huh. -I've never made anything.
-What's all this stuff? -This one's crazy.
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.
(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?
Oh...
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?
(SIGHS) 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, 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 LAUGH)
I never even knew there was more than one vanilla.
-Can I... -Yeah.
Uh, 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... 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) -Oh.
Hello?
-It's Mack. -Oh.
-(MIMICS BIRD CAWING) -Yeah.
What?
Hi, Mack! (LAUGHS)
Yeah, we'll be right over.
-Tanner, we gotta go. Come on! -Huh?
(SINGING) Mambo, mambo Mambo...
(SINGING IN SPANISH)
Whoo! (LAUGHING)
(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 thing!
-What are you doing? -It's okay. It's okay.
-What are you... Stop it. -Just go with it.
-Hey. What... What are you... -Look. Wet!
What's happening? What are... What is...
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 fabric of our reality
could just rip open. We gotta get them back.
We tell them where they're from, what they do?
-Are we worried what that'd do to them? -We're running out of options.
(SIGHS) Lela, Tanner.
You're made-up characters from a movie. You are not real.
Huh?
Maybe I would've eased it into them a little more gently.
But, uh, a movie? I don't understand.
-Here. Look at this. -(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 has always been so perfect, Lela.
It's where you belong.
(SIGHS) How do we make them understand?
We could explain to them in a language they know.
You mean...
-Here we go. -Yup.
(ALL PANTING)
No, you guys, honestly, life is better in a movie.
-Yes! -(BELL RINGS)
-MAN 1: Quiet on the set! -MAN 2: Quiet!
-MAN 1: Playback. Roll sound. -MAN 2: Speed.
-MAN 1: Roll camera. -MAN 2: Rolling.
(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
Whoa! It's better in a 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...
(SLURPS)
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...
(BEEPS)
You can have and eat your cake Never need a bathroom break
You gotta play the scene...
(HORSE NEIGHS)
Up on the silver screen
Whoa
It's better on location 'Cause it feels like a vacation...
(THUNDER BLAST)
Super fun, whoa
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...
(PIRATES SHOUTING)
The good guy saves the day The bad guys run away
Everybody dances When the music starts to play
Hey! Hey!
(LAUGHS)
-Tanner! -Tanner!
(SINGING) Your cats are always cool
You never have to go to school
Get ready for your close up
It's the happy ending rule
-You gotta play the scene -You gotta play the scene
-Yeah -Up on the silver screen
-You gotta live the dream
-No, no, play the scene -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? -(FANS SCREAMING)
Up on the silver screen
-(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!
(SIGHS) Well, that was dramatic. And potentially terrible.
Hey, move it! Out of the way, out of the way!
(GRUNTS) Okays! I think there's only one thing for us to do.
GROUP: What?
And that's to not do anythings and pretend nothing bad is happening.
-Sound good? Perfect. Okay. -Butchy, Butchy! Whoa.
(PANTING) Oh, my gosh.
-You are not gonna believe this. -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?
GROUP: Oh!
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, bring 'em back,
and then maybe everything will be normal again.
We're leaving? I gotta go home, 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.
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! -(SHOUTING)
Right.
(YELPS)
-It's gone, Mack. -No, it might still wash up.
Last time, I ended up in a parallel movie universe.
MACK: Any better ideas? Just keep looking.
Don't take this out on me.
I wasn't the one who just blurted it out,
like, "Lela, guess what? You're not real."
So this is my fault? How should I have said it?
I don't know! Maybe a little less direct!
Like, kept it a secret from her? Kept her in the dark?
'Cause that's been working so well for you, lately.
Maybe we should go ask Spencer for help.
Really? We're back to that?
How about this? You just keep looking over there.
-I'll 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.
-LELA: Well, that's odd. -What?
Why are those crazy cats wearing their clothes in the water?
What? Lela, those aren't cats.
-(OVERLAPPING CONVERSATION) -Whoo-hoo-hoo! Yeah!
(GASPS) Those are...
Guys!
(GASPS)
-Tanner! -Lela!
-BOTH: Our friends! -Oh!
-Tanner! Lela! -(CHEERING)
Those people are made out of rubber.
(CHEERING CONTINUES)
Are you kidding me?
Hi. Hi. Come over here.
Butchy! Lugnut! Cheechee! Struts!
Rascal! Seacat! Giggles!
Oh, we's did it! We's found you's guys.
Hey, guys. Wow. You... you're all here.
What are you doing here?
What do you mean? We came to take Tanner and Lela home.
-TANNER: What? -No.
BUTCHY: No?
(CHUCKLES) 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?
-Yeah. -Yes. Of course, a lot.
But 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, 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'll all disappear.
-What have I done? I... -Lela. It's not your fault.
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.
What are you's talking about? What is she talking about?
It's complicated.
I'm gonna miss you, Mack.
Yeah, me, too.
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.
(CHUCKLING)
-Bye, Brady. -It was great seeing you.
-Yeah. -Take care of yourself, all right?
Go get yourself home.
He's right. We gotta get ourselves home.
-(SIGHS) -Come on.
-LELA: Bye. -Bye.
They're gone.
-Um, listen. -Hey, um...
Well, I, uh, 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.
(SINGING) Wandering
Throughout the inner space Of yesterdays
I never thought That I would lose my way
It's such a shame
I don't know what to say
-(MUSIC STOPS) -MC: All right, everybody.
The band's taking a break. We'll be back in 15.
-(INDISTINCT CHATTER) -(SLOW MUSIC PLAYS)
MC: Here's a little something to slow it down.
(SINGING) Whoa, oh
Whoa, oh
If I smile
Dancing alone for a while
Would you rescue me?
And if I fall
Hey, do you... do you wanna, um...
Hoping it's in your arms I know...
I don't know...
You'll rescue me
-I'd love to dance. -(CHUCKLES)
Whoa, whoa, whoa Darling, rescue me
Whoa, whoa, whoa Won't you please rescue me
If I smile
Dancing alone for a while...
What's up, dude? You know, school dances aren't usually my scene,
but this fruit punch is actually pretty nectar.
If I fall
I'm hoping it's in your arms
I know, know, know...
You all right, dude?
Yeah, I'm good. (CHUCKLES)
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?
-Yeah. -All right.
(SINGING) Dancing alone for a while
Oh, whoa
Would you rescue me?
(SURF ROCK STARTS)
You!
Tanner, what are you doing here?
A...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.
The way I see it, it's not right that things aren't right with you two.
So we came to help make things right.
Er, 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.
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 realizing it is you.
You... you came back for us?
You risked everything, uh... phew!
Some things are worth the risk.

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.
Guys, he's right. We gotta get out of here
before another one of us...
Oh, no. Oh, no, no, no.
(ALL GASP)
-Vanishes! -Butchy!
-He's gone. -With the necklace.
Guys, there's... 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?
-(MUMBLING) -Wait,
when you 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.
-(OVERLAPPING CHATTER) -CHEECHEE: There they is!
We got to do something before we all start to disappear.
-Just like Butchy. -We don't have a lot of time.
-This surfboard will take you home. -You sure?
Yeah. I sure hope so. Here.
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!
(DING)
Oh, no!
(DING)
Oh, no. Uh-oh. Whoa.
-Good luck, guys. -(DING)
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,
you're gonna put it under the emblem and pry it off, okay?
Awesome. Come on, Mack, we gotta go.
-Where? -To my house.
-Under there, and I'll pull up, okay? -Okay.
-MACK: Brady! Brady! -Yeah?
I thought we were going to your house.
Just, come on.
(BOTH PANTING)
(MUTTERING)
Okay, um, glue. Where's the glue?
Where's the...
Brady, what is this place?
It's my workshop slash 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!
-Okay. -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 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. Any time.
Brady, it's beautiful.
If this baby works...
we might have a shot at getting Tanner and Lela home.
-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.
(GRUNTING)
-Look at that. We did it! -BRADY: Guys! Guys!
We got the emblem off it.
Hey, it's... This is the hydro-lithium 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.
-TANNER: Grab that end? -LELA: Yeah.
-You got it? -TANNER: Yeah.
You okay?
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 movie never even existed, then doesn't that mean...
that we never even met?
If they don't make it, 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
Most definitely
Oh, yeah
Not a phony or a fake
Sweeter than a chocolate shake
My meant to be
'Cause when it's meant to be
You go kind of crazy
Meant to be You forget your own name
When it's meant to be
It's destiny calling
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
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.
LELA: I am, too.
I'll never forget you.
-Again. (CHUCKLES) -MACK: (CHUCKLES) 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... 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.
Thank you.
I will.
Here.
(CHUCKLES)
I'll treasure it forever.
Lela, we have to go.
Be right back.
BRADY: Okay, guys stand up.
Bend your knees when you ride this thing
or you're gonna fall right off. Tanner, hold the t-bar.
Lela, hold Tanner's waist super tight or you're gonna fall.
-Okay. -You guys good?
-Good luck. -Bye, Brady.
Bye, guys.
Bye, Brady.
(ENGINE SPUTTERS)
-Brady, what's wrong? -Whoa. What is it?
I don't know.
Come on.
-What? -The hatch won't open.
LELA: Brady, we've gotta go now.
No, no, no, no, no, no! Brady, it's happening.
(ENGINE SPUTTERING)
I can't get it. I need my tool kit. I need a small screwdriver.
I can't get in there with my fingers.
-I... I need some help. -Brady, wait. Try this.
-Please hurry. -TANNER: We've got to go!
Please work.
You ready? Go!
Come on, baby.
MACK: Brady, if this doesn't work,
and Lela and Tanner vanish, and the movie never existed,
then doesn't that mean we never even met?
If they don't make it, then we won't even know each other.
(ECHOING) Know each other. 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?
-Let's do this. -Cool, man.
Night body-surfing is still cool, though.
Yeah, yeah.
Hey, what's going on here?
DEVON: It's that Save The Beach dance.
There were flyers at school.
-They're gonna project a movie? -(SNICKERS)
That looks super awesome. You want to crash it?
When have I passed up on a possible fiesta?
-Never. -Let's do this.
(SINGING) Find out nothing's real
Trampoline
It's always up and down No in-between
You're either loving Or you're hating me
They should each be in batches of ten. And at least 100 all-together.
Some of them went rogue, re-tie them with the yellow string...
-Can we help you? -BOY: Two tickets, please.
Oh.
-Thanks. -Make good choices.
-Mack! Where have you been? -I just needed some air.

-for the big shindig tonight. -BOY: Hey, Devon! What's up?
Can I help you?
Yeah, I got to ask, what's with the big screen
And the outfits?
It's a fundraiser. Yeah, we're saving the beach.
It's a 1962 beach movie party.
Cool. What movie are you going to play?
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
it's the awesomest movie ever made.
I'm not sure awesomest is a real word.
-(LAUGHS) -And even if it was,
I'm not sure that movie is exactly my jam.
But 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. -See you.
Mack, you are gonna do so good. This is so exciting.
It's not as scary as you think.
It's only a little bit more scary than you think.
