[school bell ringing]

Whoo-hoo!

Yeah!

Good-bye, sixth grade.

Hello, summer!

Summertime rules!

No more homework.

Come on, guys.

Let's get to the shack.

Raymundo said he's got a surprise for us.

I know you've all been wondering

about this year's summer vacation.

Well, I talked to everyone's parents,

and we decided

an educational trip would be

just the thing.

Uh-oh!

Copy that.

So, this year, we're going to the Botany Museum

in Gopher City, Nebraska!

All right!

What?

It's supposed to be awesome.

They've got a giant cocoon there.

[all sigh]

Psych!

[laughs]

What do you guys think

about three days of intense mountain biking

in the Grand Canyon?!

Grand Canyon!

Unreal!

I could catch the biggest air ever out there.

All that space with no shoobies.

And no Lars.

And two-billion- year-old rock formations,

revealing some of Earth's most magnificent

geological development.

You'd rather see the cocoon?

We're going to have a great time, little cuzzes.

You're coming with us, Tito?

Who's going to run the shack?

Well, we have to close down for a few days.

Tito found a colony of termites under the stove.

You should have seen it.

The queen was laying eggs in the fry bin...

[groans]

and the little pupae were swarming over everything.

Uh... I have some stuff to do.

Yeah. Got to go prepare for our trip.

Later, Raymundo. Later, Tito.

Was it something I said?

[birds singing]

[birds cawing]

[snoring]

Look, guys, there it is!

Makes you think all sorts of deep thoughts, doesn't it?

Like, I wonder what my feet would look like

if they didn't have toes.

[screaming, brakes squealing]

[all gasping]

Wait. What's going on?

A wild animal jumped out in front of the car.

[chittering]

Whoa.

Check out the totally insane verts.

Get ready to watch Otto Man soar.

REGGIE: I haven't seen that many colors

since I took a poke in the forehead.

TWISTER: It's got be, like,

the biggest hole in the groundever.

My thoughts exactly.

Well... almost exactly.

TWISTER: Well, I'm ready.

[laughter]

OTTO: Twist.

What is that?

My Gung-Ho Gopher Survival Belt.

Got it for a dollar and box tops.

Gung-Ho Gopher?

[Tarzan-like holler]

Help me, Junior Gophers.

Gung-Ho Gopher here.

You know, kids, I never go into the great outdoors

without my survival belt.

Only a Dingaling Duck goes into the wild unprepared.

Whoa-oh!

Here he comes now.

[thudding]

[birdies singing]

Don't you be a Dingaling Duck.

Be a Gung-Ho Gopher!

[laughs]

OTTO: Gung-Ho Gopher!

[laughter]Yeah.

Ha-ha!The wild?

Twist, Gung-Ho Gopher is a cartoon,

and a lame-o one at that.

It's not even Japanese.

Even I think it's dorky, and that's saying a lot.

It's not dorky.

They got all this cool stuff about survival and junk.

It's not like any of that stuff he says is for real, Twist.

Yeah, it is. It has to be.

There's a law.

Hey, didn't you guys used to watch that show?

Yeah. When we were, like, eight.

Hey, I still love that little fuzzy guy!

Look, Twist, all anybody needs out here is

a state-of-the-art electronic

Dutch Army Kn*fe, and global positioning system.

There's practically nothing it can't do.

[beeping]

I'll just stick with my survival belt.

Yeah! All right! Let's tear it up!

All right!

Don't you think you overpacked a bit?

Oh. You kidding?

I'm traveling light.

But don't worry.

You'll still be eating my dust on the trail.

How am I going to do that

with you behind me?

Man, look at these shoobies.

This reeks!

And so does Twister.

What is that junk?

One of the most important things on my survival belt.

Gung-Ho gopher always says,

"Get the bugs before they get you."

Ugh![thudding]

That gopher have any advice on getting rid of shoobies?

We're tourists here, too, Reggie.

So, technically, we're also shoobies.

Hold up, guys.

We should wait for Raymundo and Tito.

Oh.What's keeping them?

[Raymundo huffing and puffing]

Huh!

Is that all you got?

I'm taking it easy

'cause you can't handle all I got, brother.

[gasping for air]

Looks like they're pretty far behind.

Huh. Some extreme adventure this is turning out to be.

RAYMUNDO: Oh, my back!

TITO: Buh! You back is nothing on my feet.

Ooh! Ooh!

Whoa, whoa...

[both groaning]

What are you doing over there, Twist?

Gung-Ho Gopher says

that if you face your sleeping bag east,

you won't be cold in the morning.

[animal hooting]

What was that?

S-something's out there.

Mule deer.

Huh?

It's a mule deer.

I saw fresh tracks earlier.

Gung-Ho Gopher says

lots of them live in these parts.

[crickets chirping]

[coyote howling]

[gasps]

What was that?

Coyote.

Coyote?

I didn't see that in the safety pamphlet. Ugh!

[high-pitched squealing]

What about that?

Bats.

They feed at night.

[rumbling]What about that?

Sorry.

I had too much chili at dinner.

[shivering]

[yawning]

Come on, dudes. Let's move.

Yeah, right.

As long as Ray and Tito are with us,

moving is the last thing we'll do.

They probably just needed to adjust

to the lower oxygen levels at this elevation.

They should do better today.

[bird screeching]

[shallow breathing]

You're... going... down... Makani.

[shallow breathing]

Ancient... Hawaiian... saying:

Man who says...

Ah, forget it.

OTTO:Man,

they're even slower today than yesterday.

Can you even see them?

Nope. They must have dropped back.

Boy, they are really, really, really,

reallyfar behind.

Twist, your binoculars are backwards.

Oh.

That's it.

I say we go off-road for a stretch

and have some fun for a change.

I don't know.

Aren't we supposed to stay on the trail?

So what?

We're experienced riders.

We'll just go off a little ways.

What about Raymundo and Tito?

Are you kidding?

We'll be backwaybefore those two ever show up.

Let's go for it!

Whoo-hoo-hoo!

Yeah!

All right!

Let's go.

Yeah.

OTTO: Come on.

Yeah!

Yeah!

Guys, hit the brakes!

[brakes squealing]

[whimpering]

Oh!Oh!

Oh, my backpack!

Ooh.

[screams]

Help me!

Oh, help!

Oh!

[shouting]

Help!

Help! Help!

He's floating away from us!

We gotta grab him.

Hang on, Sam. We'll save you!

[gasping]

Help!

Help!

[screaming]

[grunting]

Sammy, grab the bridge!

Otto, no!

[gagging and gasping]

[screams]

What am I supposed to do with this?!

Twister, what are you doing?

[gasps]: Oh!

Oh, no!

Sam! Sam, I'm gonna throw you a rope!

I-I-I can't see!

You gotta grab the rope, Squid, or else!

[gasping]

No! Sam!

[grunting]

I got it!

I got it!

[all grunting]

[coughing]Are you okay, Sammy?

[shuddering]: Yeah, but that was close.

You guys...

you guys saved me from biting the big one.

No thanks to Twist.

What is your problem?

Did you want Squid to drown?

No, but...

Then what did you want me for?

Well, I...

Ahoy! Gung-Ho Gopher here.

Help! Help!

[sobbing]: Help!

Looks like Scaredy Skunk has fallen into the drink again.

Here's what not to do: don't panic! Just...

Can it, Twister.

Give the lame gopher thing a rest, will ya?

But...

Forget about it, Twister.[shivering]

Right now, we gotta get Sammy dry.

[shuddering]

[panting]

[both breathing heavily]

[exhales]

I won again.

What do you have to say about that?

[gasping]: I'd say you have heatstroke.

I don't see the kids anywhere.

Maybe they went ahead.

Let's see if we can catch up to them.

What's that?

Where?

[laughs]

Hey!

[both breathing heavily]

So, how do we get back to the trail?

Sammy's GPS was washed away with his backpack!

Bah!

Bah!

Bah!

Oh-oh!

Looks like Goofus Goat is lost again--

and running all over creation.

Bah-d move.

Here's what you do!

Maybe we should just... stay where we are?

What?

Well, I saw this Gung-Ho Gopher episode

where Goofus Goat got lost, and...

Wait! Did you just say that Goofus Goat was lost?

[sarcastic]: Oh, no. How awful!

Ease up, Otto.

We'll just ride back along the riverbanks

and pick up the trail.

It's a no-brainer.

Wait. Did anyone find my glasses?

Sorry, Sam, no luck.

I'll ride alongside you,

so you don't take another unexpected swim.

Thanks, Reg.

I'm Otto.

Reg is over there.

Ah. Right.

Come on. Let's go.

[bird calling]

Do you see them anywhere, Tito?

Negatory, Raymundo.

I think it's time

I used my mystic Hawaiian tracking skills.

What are you...?

Shh! I'm listening to the wind.

What's it telling you?

They're around here somewhere.

Yay wind.

[bird shrieking]

Can you see the bike trail at all?

Nope.

Okay, that's it.

Whoa!

Sorry, Squid.

You okay?

I'm okay, Reg.

Admit it, Otto: you have no clue where we are.

Chill! I know exactly where we are.

Oh, yeah? Where?

The Grand Canyon.

[hissing]

I didn't say anything.

Neither did I.

Then why did you shush me?

I didn't.[hissing]

Oh, great. Now how are we going to get around?

REGGIE: You'll be all right, Sam.

Just follow me and keep your eyes on my red backpack.

See?

Uh, barely.

Let's go!

[grunting]

[screams]

Whoa!

[hissing]

S-S-Snake!

Don't move, Reg.

Dude, it's okay.

REGGIE: Twister! No!

[all yelling]

It's a king snake.

Gung-Ho gopher says it's no more dangerous then...

[screaming]

[yells]

Whoa!

[grunts]

Are you okay, Sis?

[moans]

I really whomped my shoulder.

Sorry, Reg. I freaked out.

Gung-Ho Gopher says...

Twister!

Get a clue!

That stupid TV show almost got Squid k*lled

and now Reggie's hurt!

Dude, it was an accident!

I didn't know the snake was gonna...

That's the point: you didn't know.

Youneverknow.

Do me a favor, Twist, and stop trying to act

like you know what you're doing, okay?

Leave it to those of us with a brain.

But Otto, I was only trying to..

Look, Twist, no offense,

but we're in it kind of deep here.

I agree, Twister.

Maybe this isn't the right time

to be living out some TV fantasy, you know?

This is real life.

Come on, Sam.

Let's get Reg on her feet.

Stupid TV show.

[sniffing]

They were here, brudda.

You can tell by sniffing?

Yes. And by little Sammy's glasses.

This looks bad.

[vulture shrieking]

I just hope we get to them before dark.

[grunting]

How... how much farther, Otto?

Uh, not much, Squid, but we should hurry

so we can get to that peak before dark.

[all grunting]

Check it out: the little sheep's gone fully vert.

[animals shrieking and grunting]

Beware of wild animals!

What do gophers know about sheep anyway?

[bleating]

Otto! Run!

[yells]

Whoa!

[grunts]

[whimpering]

Oh, no!

[screams]

[grunting]

Whoa!

[all yelling]

Where are you going?

OTTO: Down!

Let's go, Sam!

[bleating]

Whoa!

[screaming]

Whoa!

Ooh! Ow! Ooh!

[screaming]

Whoa!

[yelling]

[all yelling]

[screaming]

Whoo!

Whoa!

Yeah! Yeah!

Oh, man!

It's almost dark.

We need to find those kids now.

Time to use the most powerful tool in my tracking arsenal--

mywakapuwakihi.

Eee! Ow! Ooh...

You can't put any weight on it at all?

Reg totally wiped me out.

Great! Now what do we do?

With my eyesight and your injuries,

we'll never make it back before dark.

Twister, it's up to you.Me?

Yeah. You're the only chance we have.

Oh, boy.

I can't do it.

Look, we can all stay here in the cold, dark night,

or you can go for help!

Twist, you're our only hope.

The most important tool for survival

is between your ears: your brain.

You've got common sense. Use it.

Don't panic.

You can do it, Twist.

Okay, I'll go.

In the meantime, uh,

maybe you can use my mountain board as a splint

and move over by those rocks, so you can stay warm after dark.

Good idea.

Guess I'll try to get up high, so I can see where we are.

Don't worry about us.

I'll protect the others if anything happens.

I know you can do it, Twist.

Me, too.

You'll get us home.

Okay. See you.

We're toast, aren't we?

Yup.

[groaning]

I'm really thirsty.

Is there any water left?

Reg, I want you to have my boards and my music collection.

Thanks, Rocket Boy...

but I think you're forgetting thatI'mgonna be history, too?

Oh. Right.

[loud cr*ck]

Is that thunder?

I think that's lightning.

[thunder rumbles]

[shivering]

We should hug for warmth.

It's a good thing we're not going to make it.

Otherwise, I'd never live this down.

Good-bye, world.

[whirring]

It's a helicopter!

They can't see us under the shelter!

We got to make a run for it.

Otto, put your hands over our shoulders.

[grunting]

[whirring]

I don't believe it! He did it!

Way to go, Dad.

I'm gonna live! I'm gonnalive.

You guys okay?

[laughs]: Yeah. A little banged up, though.

Going off-road like that and getting lost

was just about the dumbest thing you guys have ever done!

You know that, don't you?

Oh, I was so worried.

Thanks for saving us, Dad.

We really thought our time was up.

Don't thank me. Thank Twister.

OTTO:Twister?

Yeah. He climbed up to the ridge,

so we could see his signal from the helicopter.

What signal?

It's granite filled with quartz.

It reflects light.

Gung-Ho Gopher used it to send an SOS signal

when he was stranded

on the Island of the Bone-headed Beavers.

Well, at least you did one thing right.

He still almost got Squid k*lled.

Squid fell in the river, and he tackled me

when I was holding out a branch for him.

Never toss an object to someone in distress

while holding onto the other end!

The force of the river could pull you in, too.

"Gung-Ho Gopher and the Pea-Brained Polecat,"

season two.

Hey, almost forgot.

My survival belt!

Forgive me, Gung-Ho Gopher.

It'll never happen again.

My glasses!

Found them near the riverbed.

We'd have found you guys, too, if you'd have stayed put.

I think Twister might've mentioned something about that.

You totally came through, Twist.

You saved our lives.

I did, didn't I?

That was so cool.

I saved your lives.

With a little help from Gung-Ho Gopher, of course.

How many box-tops you need for one of those survival belts?

I wonder if they make one in my size.

By the way, Tito,

what was that ultimate tracking technique

you used to signal the chopper?

Ah, yes,wakapuwakihi.

Cell phone, brudda!

[laughter]

See you around, Junior Gophers!
