[ yelling in terror ]

Ye-ah!

Where's that dude with the backwards teeth?

Say "Twister."

Twister.

Twister.

Sam, you with us?

Barely...

Otto: Guys!

It's happening, finally!

Get this. They're opening up the new ride at the amusement park.

The human sky torpedo is ready?

Affirmative.

Behold.

[ yells ]

And tomorrow weallgo way too fast

and blow up.

I-I can't!

I'm supposed to babysit my cousin

Little Scotty tomorrow.

Not Scotty.

You promised that little geek would never bug us again.

It wasn't my idea!

Tough luck, Twist.

Yeah, while you're reading kiddie books to the runt,

we'll be experiencing the ultimate thrill ride.

You know the deal, Maurice.

But he doesn't need a babysitter. He's six!

Just unplug everything, lock all the doors and windows.

He'll be fine!

Come on, I just want to get out

for the afternoon!

Little Scotty is still too young,mi hijo.

Now, if you had someone more responsible help you...

Someone like Reggie. She babysits you.

She does not babysit me!

Mom, Dad, I'm totally responsible!

Like you were with your puppy?

[ doorbell rings ]

I had a puppy?

Well, look who's here

to say hi to his favorite big cousin.

It's little Scotty.

Hi, Maurice.

Hey, little Scotty.

Mother: Isn't that nice?

He loves you, Maurice.

Cool...

Yeah, cool.

Oh, well, hey.

That's Lars.

You remember him?

Hello.

He's older than me and even cooler.

He's got neat stuff,

and he knows all kinds of stories.

Hey, Lars, want to babysit?

[ belches ]

He's a punk.

I'd rather hang out with you, Maurice.

You're fun.

Later, Munch.

[ both laughing ]

Hey, where's your puppy?

Hey, there, I bet you'd just love a balloon animal!

Name any creature with four legs that can do tricks and barks.

A...seal?

Doggy it is!

Lame-O can make whatever you want.

I can make anything!

Ooh...

[ siren begins wailing ]

Shh!

Hey, we're not

supposed to leave the house.

But this is follow- the-leader, remember?

Now, don't you want to go somewhere

that's really, really cool?

Yeah, where?

Shh! It's a secret.

Stay quiet and don't ask questions.

Okay.

What?

Let's get our tickets!

Happy dream, happy dream, happy dream...

[ honking ]

Hey, there, I bet you'd just love a balloon animal.

Neat!

Yeah, right.

I was in an amusement park once

and they had a cool ride called Bunnies Galore,

where you got on a bunny

and went to the see the magic land where he lived.

This place is just like that,

without the bunnies.

[ whirring ]

What's happening, guys?

Hey, Twist.

Hey, Regina.

[ blows kiss ]

Aunt Sandy said

you're Maurice's babysitter.

[ Chuckling ] That's right.

Come here, Wittle Twister.

I don't have a babysitter!

[ laughter ]

Look, watch the runt.

Please, Reggie, I'm begging you.

I got to get a ticket for this thing.

Maurice is pretty cool, huh?

Aw, you like him, don't you?

He's my favorite cousin.

I don't have any brothers or sisters,

so a favorite cousin is almost as good.

Even if it is Twister.

His real name's Maurice.

I don't think he likes being called Twister.

Yeah, he really likes "Squid" better.

Got my ticket, bros.

Can I see if I can win you

a spider ring, Cousin Squid?

Hey, me first, I've been waiting.

Besides, you're watching Scotty.

Look--

I'll watch little Scotty

after my ride

so you can get torpedoed.

You will?

What are babysitters for, Cousin Squid?

You're not my babysitter, and my name is Maurice.

I-I mean, Twister.

Ugh!

Huh?

Little Scotty?

Oh, man!

Scotty, Scotty!

Little Scotty, where are you?!

Reggie! I lost Little Scotty!

Nice move, brainiac.

First, your puppy, now your cousin!

Enough with this puppy, already!

Your mom's gonna totally flip.

I know, I know.

Just help me find him,please!

Hey, Maurice, look, I'm fishing.

Don't you ever... ever...ever...

I won a spider ring for you

'cause you're my favorite cousin.

What?

Hey, thanks.

I think the ring looks cool.

I'm not afraid of spiders, you know.

How about we share a soda, cuz?

You called me "cuz."

Does that mean I'm not little anymore?

Oh, that's so cool, Maurice.

There's a storm brewing out there.

It's getting so gnarly.

Only a brainless fool would try and ride this surf.

The Rhino rides these waves,

and if the Rhino can, so can I.

Excuse me.

The Rhino is only the greatest big-wave surfer there is,

and you're...you.

Hey, Twist, what do you say?

Let's try it.

I don't know, Otto-Man.

Usually Twister has the bad ideas.

We can do this.

Just say "no," Twist.

It's just a little water.

Actually, it's quite a lot of water.

Twister, think about this.

♪♪

I am absolutely not gonna do this!

So, we're really gonna do this?

Twist, these are the kind of waves you dream about!

[ panting ]

Oh, man!

Come on, Twist, this is it!

Paddle, baby, paddle!

I promise if I make this wave

I won't talk back to my teachers,

I won't talk back to the policeman,

I won't talk back to the movie screen.

I can't look.

This is gonna hurt.

[ both screaming ]

[ both panting ]

Are you guys okay?!

[ groaning ]

I think so.

You guys could have got whomped beyond belief!

You mean, we didn't?

That's right, it's the storm of the century.

How will we ever survive?

[ television shuts off ]

I guess business is gonna be a little off.

You know the old Hawaiian saying:

When surfers don't ride, potatoes ain't fried.

Otto: When surfers don't ride?

I've ridden these waves.

You were out there, Little Cuz?

Yeah, what's the big deal?

[ slurping ]

What's the big deal?

Do you like getting in trouble,

or do you just have a memory problem?

You're a kid, Otto, and you're not experienced enough.

Those waves are out of control.

I can handle it.

I think he likes getting in trouble.

Otto, you're a good surfer, and if you want to get better,

you have to be smart enough to know your own limitations.

But, Dad, you don't understand.

I understand.

You know, years back,

Hurricane Monica hit,

and I hit the most out-of-control wave of my life,

that I wasn't near experienced enough to handle.

Hey!

Whoa! Aaaah!

I wrote a check my tush couldn't cash.

[ humming ]

Oh! Ow!

Tito: Yeah, you should have seen his tush bounce.

[ laughter ]

And that's why none of you are gonna surf in this storm.

Well, he convinced me. I'm going home,

gonna sit on the couch, watch TV, safe and sound.

I hear ya, Raymundo.

You got it, Dad.

But lots of guys surf the big waves.

What about the Rhino?

Raymundo: You're not the Rhino.

The Rhino's a lot older and a lot more experienced.

You kiddin'? He's done it all.

He is so hardcore.

Not an exaggeration.

The Rhino.

The Rhino?

Heard the surf's gonna be insane here tomorrow.

Hey, they're calling for the biggest surf of the decade.

It's gonna be Big Thursday.

You gonna paddle out, Rhino?

That's what I do, little man.

Bad timing, bruddah.

Easy on the big story, Walter.

Got it?

Come on, Ray. Rhino, not Walter.

Walter? Ha-ha!

To me, big waves are like monsters --

monsters you need to go eye-to-eye with.

But if you don't face down the monsters,

you might as well boogie-board.

Monsters scare me.

How cool is this guy.

Cool?

[ muttering ]

[ both panting ]

Glad you could make it, kid.

Get ready to see somerealsurfing.

Reggie: Otto, wait!

Hold it, guys!

[ panting ]

Please, don't go out there, Otto!

You're gonna get really whomped!

Ughhh!

[ seaweed plops ]

Maybe your sister's right!

Don't do it, Otto!

You do what you want, Twist!

I'm going out there with the Rhino!

I'm gonna ride me one of them monsters.

Can I have your skateboard?!

[ grunting ]

I don't believe he's actually doing this.

Go get my dad. I'll keep an eye on Otto.

Hurry!

Otto: Hey, Rhino!

What are you doing out here, kid?

Are you nuts?

I'm chasing the monster surf, Rhino.

You're writing a check your tush can't cash, little man.

Why does everyone always tell me that?

Honestly!

Tito: Looks like you're the Old Maid, bruddah.

What?! What is it?

O-O-Otto is -- Otto is --

Surfing with the Rhino!

Ugh!

Whoo! That was some crazy ride, Otto.

Sorry, Tito.

[ grunts ]

I don't think he'll be needing this for a while.

Rhino: I am Rhino!

Hear me roar!

You know, I think

I'll have a little talk with the Rhino

about being a role model for kids.

Oh, Walter?

Rhino: Yeah, dude?

[ punches landing ]

Rhino has some thinking to do.

We discussed the responsibility of being a role model.

Really reasonable, sweet guy, once you get to know him.

[ pop ]

Whoa.

Ouch.

[ sea gulls calling ]

Otto: I really messed up, Dad.

I should have never been out there.

It was way over my head.

Now you know your limitations.

Maybe someday you'll be able to ride the big waves.

I just hope you really learned something today.

Like I should never bounce checks that my tush can't cash?

[ chuckles ]

Almost. Almost.

I should never balance my tush on a check?
