Prepare to count down.

[Yipping]

Sammy, come on, man, feel the force.

Okay,okay!

Heads up!

Whoa!

Sorry!

Hey, otto, pay attention

The squid nearly whomped your head off.

What's bugging you, little man?

I got another check minus, minus in classroom citizenship.

Are you kidding me?

Dad's been all over you about your grades.

And now get this-- the old man's got to sign it

Or they won't let me back in school.

Raymundo's gonna freak.

Now, I'm warning you

If dad nukes our annual baja

Camp and surf trip this weekend, I'm gonna...

I know, I know.

I hope you have a plan

For telling dad about that grade.

What grade?

Otto pulled a check minus-minus

In classroom citizenship.

That's horrible.

Thanks, man.

Look, you're the bad student

So I'll make this clear.

Tell dad and the weekend is ruined.

Sam: I've always found

That the truth is the best... [Grunts]

[Sniffing]

Hmm... [Sniffing]

Mm-mm... Not good, not good.

Very bad.

Look at this obstruction.

Bad, very bad.

Howdy, harrison, can I help you?

See these cans?

I'm afraid I'm going to have to write you out a citation.

For what? My cans are clean enough to eat off of.

Ordinance number , subsection

Of the ocean shores health code

Clearly states that any obstruction

To the aforementioned sanitation receptacle

Is citeable with a fine and probation.

You're fining me because my surfboard is sitting on my garbage cans?

In laymen's terms, yes.

But, since this is a first-time infraction, I'm waiving the fine.

Next time, if the obstruction is gone...

It's not an obstruction, it's a surfboard! Gah!

Ah, improper disposal of aforementioned obstruction.

Not good, not good.

Reggie: I'm begging you, please don't ruin our weekend.

I wish there was a way of telling dad so he doesn't get mad.

Uh! Hello? Are you listening to me?

What if I wrote him a note?

It's simple.

Bad grades equals no trip.

Bad? What's bad?

Uh, that's rad, dad. I said you're rad.

I wasn't very rad today.

What's the matter, pop?

Aah, I had an obstruction.

Don't worry, dad.

The big surf trip is right around the corner.

It's gonna be great.

Cheer everyone right up.

I've already started packing, see?

What's the matter?

Otto! Shh!

What happened?

Health inspector gave me a "d"

For obstructing the garbage cans

With my - nose rider.

A "d," huh?

What a coincidence.

Let's all have dinner.

Hey!

Come on, rocket boy.

A "d"! Can you believe that?

Me, a "d".

Those cans are washed out every day.

Perfect timing.

Otto, no.

You always say

Like father like son, right?

Look at this.

Mind signing right here?

A check minus-minus.

How many times we been through this, otto?

You promised to try and get better grades.

It was just in citizenship.

It's not like it counts in real life or anything.

Everything single grade counts, young man, you know that.

Yeah, what about your bad grade?

That was a mistake.

There's a big, big difference.

Not to me.

Dad, please don't tell me the camping trip is off.

It is for otto.

Otto: harsh!

Three days, two nights with old man stimpleton.

I can't believe you guys are going without me.

I warned you!

Lay off, will you!

Isn't it bad enough that I can't go?

Sam: this is a drag.

No, this is a super-drag.

Well, at least we get to go, right?

Hello, mrs. Stimpleton.

Oh, otto.

We are going to have so much fun.

Not too much fun, violet.

Otto here needs to think about his grades.

Oh, I know you're here for citizenship training.

But that doesn't mean there can't be a bright side.

How about some yummy candy trout?

Dad!

[Car starts]

[Car stalls]all: whoa!

Twister: it's a dark and gloomy day

As rocketboy's grounded by the...

Ray: twister, please.

Come on, twist, not now.

Can't we just look forward to a little camping and a lot of surfing?

[Trying to start the car]

[Car starts]

Whoa, he looks so sad.

Are we having fun yet?

♪ Let's get this party started. ♪

♪ Let's get this party started. ♪

Hey!

You missed it last year, squid.

The trip was so rad.

Every day was barrel heaven.

Yeah, I remember.

Otto caught the first tube.

Come on, you guys.

Otto would want us to have fun, right?

Oh...!

Come on now.

Hey, I know!

Let's listen to some music.

♪ ...i never missed my papa like right now ♪

[Turns off radio]

I know...

Tito, play something for us, will ya?

♪ Maliki-laki-louie

♪ Candy-trouty-spooie

♪ Don't leave me laki-louie alone ♪

♪ On stimpleton's island

♪ A-waka-wiki, waka-wiki, wakahu ♪

[Kids laughing]

Give me that, tito.

Look, I get the hint.

But otto's got to learn that school is school

And you can't take any shortcuts.

Sam: mr. Rocket...

You have to apply yourself every day.

Raymundo!

What?!

You missed the exit

Two excuses ago, bro.

Did you have fun helping merv build his toothpick replica of old ironsides, dear?

[Sniffing, blender whirring]

Hmm, I think this meatloaf is still good.

Oh, you'll just love my leftover lunch spread surprise.

If you don't, I'll cry.

[Stomach rumbling]

Reggie: whoo-hoo! Yeah!

[Grunting...]

Reggie! Use more of your rails, girl!

Whoa!

Whoo-hoo! Go, rocketgirl!

Wow, she's amazing.

Look at that... Whoa!

More speed, reggie, more speed!

She's doing fine, brother, relax.

Ah...!

Yeah!

Reggie, your mind's not on the wave.

Think how otto does his snaps.

Dad!

Oh...

Darn, sure miss that boy.

I think we all do, brother.

Violet: you're bored, aren't you, dear?

How about we do something fun?

Like go to the skate park?

No, another jigsaw puzzle.

Oh, I know--

We could flock the wallpaper in the guest bathroom.

Can I go out skateboarding?

Otto, at times we all have to do things we don't want to.

Having the right attitude helps it pass quicker.

Dad said he was gonna take me on our big surf trip.

It's just not fair.

He got in trouble and he got to go.

Did you promise your father you would behave in school?

Yeah, like five times.

Do you see the difference?

I guess I should have kept my promise.

Oh, you!

[Animal howling]

Look at those stars.

Tomorrow's gonna be a swell day, isn't it?

Bright sky at night, surfer delight.

I really miss otto.

You think otto has suffered enough?

Definitely!

Without a doubt.

Aloha to that.

I'll be back in the morning.

Tito, take over.

[Stomach rumbling]

I will never eat leftover lunch spread surprise again.

[Car approaching, engine rumbling]

That's not my stomach.

That sounds like...

I'm saved!

Whoo-hoo-hoo!

[Kids cheering...]

Raymundo, you rule.

Just wasn't the same without you, rocketboy.

Tell me about it.

Now, I hope you learned your lesson.

Yeah, never eat meat prepared in a blender.

Otto...

I'll try harder in school.

[Chuckles]

That's my boy.

[Kids cheering]

Reggie: coming through!

Excuse me! Watch your back!

Move it or lose it! Thank you!

Patty, your shoelace is untied.

What took you?

Traffic was crazy.

You're really gonna do this, rocketboy?

There's no way I can miss.

Twister, run through it one more time.

Start out here with a major air ollie

Then pick up speed and nail the muskrat

In front of the wrinkle wagon as it turns onto the pier.

Generations to come will call it

The otto rocket loop-dee-loop.

I'm nauseous just doing the calculations.

Sure it's not just the seven fish tacos you had for lunch?

[Belching]

Watch your butt, otto, you hear me?

I hear destiny calling.

Yeah, it's calling .

[Twister and sam laugh]

Cut it out, you guys.

Take your positions.

Get focus.

Wow!

Whoo-hoo!

[Cheering]

Go, otto, go, otto.

It's my birthday, it's my birthday.

Hold it!

Ah...!

[Crashing]

Not good.

Very bad.

[Continues yelling]

[Grunts]

Twister:whoa...

The mervinator beefs it.

Very, very bad.

[Groaning]

Merv, merv, are you all right?!

[Groans louder]

Oh, man, are we in trouble.

What do you meanwe?

Wehave only been told a million times

Not to skate on the boardwalk.

Does this hurt?

[Moaning loudly]

Are you sure?

How about this?

[Screaming]

Otto: oh, man...

Stimpleton's in a sling.

Looks like he's in pain. We're toast.

Reggie, go see what they're saying.

Reggie: I know what they're saying.

Ban skateboarding.

Twister? Why don't you go see what they're saying?

Me! Oh...

I don't know what all the fuss is about.

It's just a sprain.

Now, violet, like the doctor said

I do have minor discomfort in the elbow region.

What's next? Other regions?

And it could have been worse.

That's why the "ocean shores we care committee"--

Or o.s.w.c.c.-- Is here.

The "we care committee?"

Now, what exactly do you do?

We care, violet.

We can't help it.

We just do.

And so mervin stimpleton

As president of the ocean shores we care committee

I would like to draft you as our symbol of the way ocean shores used to be

And take a stand against the misguided

Skate-obsessed youth culture.

You mean hooligans!

[Laughs] well put.

Oh, merv, can't we just forget all this foolishness?

Oh, I wish I could, violet, but destiny calls

And mervin j. Stimpleton must answer.

This mervin thing is k*lling me. [Laughs]

Shh.

Tomorrow at the emergency city hall meeting

With your blessing, we will call for a ban

On skating, blading, biking, laughing, running, horseplay, roughhousing

And that scourge of all pedestrians--

Skateboarding.

Twister: this is horrible.

I practically live on wheels.

Me, too, but what can we do?

We can stage a protest.

We can get all the kids we know

To go to city hall and fight the ban.

We can make a human chain around stimpleton's house

Until he ditches those "we care" kooks.

Why don't we just move his house to another town?

If we have to.

He's kidding, brainiac.

We need to att*ck from all sides

But still play by the rules.

Hey, how are our juvenile delinquents doing?

You kids apologize yet?

No.

What do you mean "no?"

Dad, it was just an accident.

They're just looking for an excuse

To ban skating from the boardwalk and the pier.

All that aside...

You still knocked merv down and you need to apologize.

Are we clear?

Okay, dad.

Yes, sir.

Crystal, raymundo.

And don't forget to smile a big wide smile

When you say, "sorry I broke your elbow, mr. Stimp."

[Doorbell rings]

Hello, mrs. Stimpleton.

Can we speak with mr. Stimpleton, please?

Oh... It's you.

Uh, hi, mr. Stimpleton.

Uh, otto has something to tell you.

I'm listening.

I'm sorry I made you slip on the skateboard.

And...

Um, I'm sorry that your arm really hurts?

And...

And apology accepted.

Speak for yours...

Oh... All right.

You'll have to excuse merv.

The injury make him a little cranky.

How can you tell?

Good... Bye, mrs. Stimpleton.

Blasted earthquakes.

A man can't keep his pictures level.

Merv![Yells]

You big, fat faker.

[Banging gavel]

And I ask you

Good people

Of ocean shores

Let my shattered ulna--

That's elbow for the layman...

Ahem!

Oh, all right.

Let my sprain not be in vain.

Everybody, "sprain not in vain."

All [chanting]: sprain not in vain! Sprain not in vain!

Sprain not in vain! Sprain not in vain!

In light of your testimony

And the obvious support you have from the community

Mervin jeremiah stimpleton...

Jeremiah? [Laughs]

Quiet down...maurice.

I have no choice

But to issue, beginning today

A permanent ban of all roller-skating

Roughhousing

Biking, horseplay andskateboarding

On the boardwalk and pier!

Meeting adjourned.

What did I do?

Cheer up, guys.

Like the ancients said

"The coconut, though hard and round

"In the spring gives milk to the sand

After being kissed by the green water."

I know-- it comforts me, too.

Welcome to dragsville.

Population: us.

Glad to see some young faces out here.

Don't worry.

Merv will come around eventually.

How's his arm?

Well enough to sign autographs

And shake hands with reporters.

He's never been so happy.

And I've never been so bored.

Bored?

What?

What do you mean?

The ban has turned

This whole burg into a ghost town.

Too bad there's no place for you kids to skate that's safe and friendly.

Oh, well, got to go.

Need to keep my blood pressure at over . Bye!

The kids need a place to go...

We could fix up our half pike!

We could charge admission.

Can I get in for free?

Oh, merv stimplefink?

Call me by my proper name.

[Toilet flushing]

Oh... Mr. Scampleton?

Call me what you want, violet.

You just can't handle the fact

That I b*at those kids in a court of law.

Not so fast, f. Lee stimpleton...

Oh, for the love of mike!

[Kids cheering...]

Isn't that nice?

You know what I was thinking, violet?

The kids need a place they can skate

That's safe and friendly.

A place that's far away from my house!

Stimpleton [on loudspeaker]: ...a place designed for the safety

Of our children and the community.

And so, on behalf of the we care committee

And the ocean shore city council

I hereby dedicate the mad town skate park!

Named for the mad moves I'm gonna do in there.

Named for the mad town that built it.

Named for how cheesed-off the mervinator was.

And now to help cut the ribbon

I'd like to introduce the park's manager, conroy blanc.

Don't move.

There is something on your head.

That's my hair, man.

Where's yours?

This guy's my hero!

And on that, let's get the celebration started!

This guy's my hero, too.

I now pronounce mad town skate park officially open.

[Yelling and cheering...]

Violet: how about some yummy candy trout?
