Race the Sun (1996) - full transcript
Idealistic Sandra Beecher has just started working as a Science teacher at Kona-Pali High School in Hawaii, being hired for this job despite her teaching background being English. Her reason for taking the job is largely to run away from the mainland and a failed marriage. She finds that her students are an unmotivated lot, largely because there are low societal expectations of them, including from their parents and the school faculty. As such, she directs a handful of her most unmotivated students to attend a regional science fair at which there are no Kona-Pali displays to come up with their own science fair projects. An incident at the fair does spur one of her students, Daniel Webster, self-professed as not being good at most things but believing he is a good designer, to announce, with the support of his fellow students, that they want to build a solar powered car of his design as their project, and to enter that car in the upcoming Inter-island Race. American Corporate giant, CelTech, has agreed to sponsor the winner of that race for the grueling six day, 2,800km long Trans-Australian World Solar Challenge, at which the best minds in this field - corporate and academic - will be participating. CelTech expects their own financially supported entry to win the Hawaii race. Despite the odds against them, Ms. Beecher agrees, and is eventually able to convince, albeit reluctantly, the school's shop teacher, Frank Machi, to be another school supervisor on the project. The students, Sandra and Frank have to overcome many obstacles to even getting a finished product to enter the race, from self-doubt, to internal issues which may raise irreconcilable differences between the team members, to mostly everyone external to them believing they cannot achieve their goal. Their largest naysayers are their competitors, including CelTech, and current world champion, Hans Kooiman of the Euro Team, who have an elitist view of their world.

NOW REMOVE YOUR CAP AND TAKE YOUR SEAT.
WE KNOW YOU LOVE HER,
MARCO. JUST SIT DOWN.

EDUARDO BRAZ IN DETENTION?
YEAH. UH-HUH.
[Class Giggling]
[Kicks Chair]
HEY, DANIEL.
THAT'S IT, OKAY?
THIS IS MY CLASSROOM.
AND WHEN YOU ARE IN MY CLASSROOM
YOU'RE GONNA HAVE TO COOPERATE.
THAT MEANS
YOU PAY ATTENTION.
AND YOU SPEAK
WHEN YOU ARE CALLED UPON.
WHAT DID I SAY?
WHAT IS THIS?
JUST MY SKETCHES.
FINE!
OPEN YOUR BOOKS. LOLOS OR NOT, FROM NOW ON,
YOU WILL BE BOTHERING WITH YOUR BOOKS.
GILBERT, WE'RE GONNA START
WITH YOU. WHAT CHAPTER?
[Gilbert] SIX.
[Beecher] SIX. OKAY, LET'S GO.
[ClassGrumbling]
OKAY, IF WE DO HAVE TO CUT BACK
ON CUSTODIAL SERVICES, WELL...
WE'LL ALL JUST HAVE TO MANAGE.
OIL CHANGE.
UNSUCCESSFUL.
NO PROBLEM.
WE WERE JUST WRAPPING UP.
ALL RIGHT,
IF THERE'S NO FURTHER BUSINESS.
YES, ONE MORE THING.
YES, SANDRA?
THE DISTRICT SCIENCE FAIR.
I JUST REALIZED IT'S THIS WEEK,
AND I WAS WONDERING WHY NONE OF OUR STUDENTS
ARE PARTICIPATING.
FRANK?
WEREN'T YOU HELPING STENKE
WITH THIS?
WE COULDN'T DRUM UP INTEREST.
THAT'S NOT TRUE.
EXCUSE ME?
THAT'S NOT TRUE.
ONE OF MY STUDENTS WAS DEFINITELY INTERESTED.
I THINK IF SOMEBODY HAD TAKEN
A LITTLE BIT MORE TIME,
MAYBE TAKEN THE THING
MORE SERIOUSLY--
AH, TIME. SERIOUSLY.
THAT'S WHAT I FORGOT.
MAYBE YOU SHOULD DO IT NEXT YEAR, OKAY?
IF YOU'RE STILL HERE.
[Teachers Laughing]
SANDRA, LOOK.
I THINK WE ALL APPRECIATE
YOUR ENTHUSIASM
BUT I ALSO THINK WE NEED TO BE REALISTIC ABOUT
WHAT WE CAN ACCOMPLISH HERE AT KONA-PALI.
BUT THANKS FOR YOUR COMMENTS.
AND THANK YOU ALL.
DON'T EVER DO THAT AGAIN.
PARDON ME?
JUST WORK HERE A WHILE,
THEN YOU'LL UNDERSTAND.
OKAY?
OKAY, DANIEL,
WHAT IS THIS?
THAT WAS AN IDEA I WAS WORKING ON.
WHAT DO YOU THINK?
WHAT ARE THESE THINGS SUPPOSED TO BE?
DIMPLES.
LIKE ON A GOLF BALL.
LESS FRICTION, MORE SPEED.
AND NO SALES!
DO YOU KNOW WHAT IT WOULD COST TO BUILD A BOARD LIKE THIS?
EVEN IF IT'S BUILDABLE.
IT'S JUST AN IDEA, GUY.
IF YOU WANT TO BE A DESIGNER,
GO TO COLLEGE.
IF YOU WANT TO EARN FIVE BUCKS AN HOUR FROM ME,
STICK TO THE PATTERNS.
PATTERNS ARE BORING, GUY.
WE CAN DO BETTER.
YOU'RE A SHAPER, KID.
SHAPE!
[Girl Coughing]
[Coughing]
GOD, I'M LIKE SICK.
OH, I'M NOT SURPRISED.
WHAT TIME DID YOU GET IN
LAST NIGHT?
GOD, DANIEL, GET SOME HELP.
DON'T DO THAT IN FRONT OF ME.
LOOK, I CAN'T HANDLE SCHOOL.
TURN THIS INTO THE OFFICE
FOR ME, WOULD YOU?
WHAT'S "CRAPS"?
"CRAMPS," DANIEL.
CRAMPS.
GOD, YOU CAN BE SO STUPID
SOMETIMES.
GUESS I'M BUSY.
COME ON.
FIVE BUCKS?
BUY YOURSELF SOME SUNGLASSES.
TEN, THEN!
GIVE ME A BREAK.
I'M YOUR STEPSISTER.
YOU SEE? THAT'S WHY
I DON'T GIVE YOU A BREAK.
IF YOU HAD SAID, "DANIEL,
I'M YOUR SISTER," MAYBE I WOULD HAVE.
[School Bell Rings]
[Sandra] HOLD IT, HOLD IT!
YOU CAN ALL LEAVE
EXCEPT FOR LUANA,
GILBERT, ONI, MARCO,
BRAZ AND DANIEL.
STAY FOR JUST ONE MINUTE.
OKAY, YOU SIX ARE THE ONLY ONES WHO HAVEN'T
COME UP WITH A SCIENCE PROJECT PROPOSAL.
ANYIDEASHERE?
BRILLIANTEXCUSES?
ANYTHING?
OKAY. I'M GONNA GIVE YOU
A CHANCE TO CHANGE ALL THAT
BECAUSE TOMORROW NIGHT
IS THE DISTRICT SCIENCE FAIR.
I'M REQUIRING EACH ONE OF YOU TO ATTEND.
YEAH!
MS. BEECHER!
YOU CAN SEE WHAT THE OTHER KIDS ARE DOING
AND HOPEFULLY GET
A FEW IDEAS OF YOUR OWN.
SEE YOU AT THE SCIENCE FAIR.
DANIEL, WAIT A SECOND. UH--
UH, I THINK YOU'RE GIFTED,
BUT YOU MIGHT WANT TO SAVE THIS FOR ART CLASS.
SEE YOU AT THE FAIR.
BYE.
[Girl]
ISN'T HE CUTE?
HEY, GUYS,
YOU MADE IT!
YEAH. GOOD!
ISN'T THIS GREAT?
I'VE HAD ENOUGH. LET'S GO HOME.

IT'S A SOLAR CAR.
I KNEW THAT.
WHEN'D YOU COME UP WITH THIS?
LAST NIGHT. I DIDN'T LIKE
WHAT HAPPENED EITHER.
[Detention Teacher]
GET THAT BIKE OFF THE GRASS!
[Sandra] MOTHER,
I HAVE A WHOLE NEW LIFE HERE.
I DON'T WANT HIM
TO HAVE THIS PHONE NUMBER!
BECAUSE I DON'T WANT TO TALK TO HIM.
THAT'S WHY!
GOD, MOM! I JUST NEED SOME TIME TO THINK,
YOU KNOW.
[Knock At Door] MOM, I GOTTA GO.
THERE'S SOMEBODY AT MY DOOR.
OKAY, I'LL THINK ABOUT IT.
I LOVE YOU TOO. BYE.
[Groans, Sighs]
HOW'D YOU GUYS FIND ME?
THE TOWN'S
NOT THAT BIG.
YOU DRESSED, EH?
WE AIN'T GONNA BEAT YOU UP.
AREN'T GOING TO BEAT ME UP.
COOL PLACE!
THAT'S NICE STUFF!
[Sandra] SO
WHAT'S UP? YOU LIVE OUT OF BOXES,
MISS TEACH?
I WASN'T EXACTLY SURE I WAS GOING TO STAY.
NOW, WHAT DO YOU WANT?
SO, THIS IS MR. TEACH, EH?
HE MUST'VE DONE SOMETHING BAD, HUH?
IS SOMEBODY GONNA TELL ME
EXACTLY WHY YOU'RE HERE?
OUR SCIENCE PROJECT.
THIS IS REALLY
IMPRESSIVE, DANIEL.
BUT YOU'RE A LITTLE TOO LATE.
THE RACE IS ONLY A COUPLE MONTHS AWAY.
WE STILL THINK WE CAN DO IT.
WE'RE GONNA DO IT, CREDIT OR NO CREDIT.
'CAUSE WE WANNA KICK BUTT.
YUP.
WELL, I THINK I'VE SEEN JUST ABOUT ENOUGH OF THAT ALREADY.
SORRY.
[Sighs] NOW, GUYS,
A SKETCH IS ONE THING
BUT WE'RE TALKING ABOUT BUILDING A CAR FROM THE GROUND UP.
I KNOW CARS, TEACH.
I KNOW FIBERGLASS.
ME? THE WHEEL MAN.
AND I--
SHE'LL THINK OF SOMETHING, EH?
GILBERT.
I, I JUST KNOW COMPUTERS.
THAT'S IT.
HE'S A WHIZ. TELL HER, CHO.
I AM.
HE IS.
SUTCLIFFE ACADEMY HAD WHAT?
TWENTY GUYS?
THERE'S ONLY SIX OF YOU.
UNI!
SHE'S SHY,
BUT SHE AIN'T NOLOLO.
SHE'S IN X-RATED MATH TOO.
RIGHT, UNI?
ACCELERATED MATH. HI.
OH, WHATEVER.
[Daniel] THAT'S SEVEN.
I THINK I CAN GET ONE MORE.
COME ON.
ALL WE'RE ASKING FOR IS A CHANCE.
[Sighs]
OOH. I'M GONNA HAVE TO FILL OUT
GRANT FORMS
ANDALLKINDS
OFPAPERS.
OKAY, THIS IS CRAZY.
BUTOKAY.
LETMETELLYOUSOMETHING.
ONCE WE START THIS THING,
WE SEE IT THROUGH, AND I WANT IT IN WRITING.
I WANT A SCHEDULE WITH EVERYBODY'S OBJECTIVES ON IT.
YOUR SPECIFIC DUTIES.
YOU UNDERSTAND?
ALL RIGHT.
NOW, GET OUTTA HERE BEFORE I CHANGE MY MIND.
[Oni]
CAN'T BELIEVE SHE WENT FOR IT.
CAN I GET ONE MORE OF THESE TO GO?
OUT!
[Ed]
YOU DID WHAT?
I QUIT MY JOB.
THEN JUST GO AND BEG FOR IT BACK.
ED!
NO, I'M SERIOUS.
I'M NOT GOING TO INDULGE EVERY WHIM
THAT POPS INTO THIS KID'S HEAD.
SURFBOARDS, SOLAR CARS!
AND STOP PLAYING WITH YOUR FOOD.
FINE.
WHAT'S THE MATTER
WITH YOU?
IT'S A SCHOOL PROJECT, ED.
CAN'T YOU ENCOURAGE HIM FOR ONCE?
YEAH, REALLY, ED.
IT WOULDN'T KILL YOU TO SAY SOMETHING NICE.
NOW LOOK WHO'S GIVING ME
ADVICE!
[Chuckling]
THISFAMILYSTINKS!
GOD! YOUR DAD IS TOXIC,
YOU KNOW THAT?
LET ME SEE.
YOU'RE ACTUALLY GONNA BUILD THIS THING AND GET CREDIT FOR IT?
I WAS GONNA ASK
IF YOU WANTED IN.
WE COULD USE ANOTHER PERSON,
YOU COULD USE A PASSING GRADE.
NO.
I'M BAGGIN' SCHOOL ANYWAY.
THE SECOND I TURN 18,
I'M SO OUTTA HERE.
I THOUGHT YOU COULDN'T GET YOUR
TRUST FUND UNLESS YOU GRADUATED.
SO?
WHEN MY REAL DAD FINDS OUT WHAT I HAVE TO PUT UP WITH HERE,
BELIEVE ME,
HE'LL GIVE IT TO ME.
[Ed] HE'S MY SON,
AND I KNOW WHAT HE CAN DO AND WHAT HE CAN'T DO.
BUT HE'D BETTER START WORKING FOR
A LIVING BECAUSE HE'S NO EINSTEIN!
WHAT A DORK!
WHAT DO YOU SAY, CIN?
YOU IN OR OUT HERE? SHE'S OUT!
NOW GET BACK IN HERE AND FINISH EATING,
BOTH OF YOU!
I'M IN.
[Laughs]
[Sandra Teaching,
Indistinct]
ALL RIGHT,
WE NEED MATERIALS.
[Together] NO!
TOO BIG!
NO!
A BETTER PLACE TO WORK.
[Giggling]
[Sandra]
A NEW SET OF BLUEPRINTS.
NOW THE SUN SHINES
ON THE SOLAR PANELS
WHICH THEN TRICKLES ITS WAY DOWN
INTO THE BATTERIES.
[Electricity Crackling]
WHICH THEN PUSHES ITS WAY TO THE CONTROL BOX,
THROUGH TO THE MOTOR.
[Whirring] [Sandra] TO THE RIGHT FRONT
DOWN TO THE WHEELS WHICH TURN,
WHICH MAKE THE CAR GO.
SIMPLE, RIGHT?
AGH!
[Daniel]
I DON'T KNOW.
WHOA!
[Oni] WHAT'S WRONG WITH IT? NOBODY COULD BUILD THIS THING.
YOU'RE DREAMING HERE, DANIEL.
YOU COME UP WITH SOMETHING.
COME ON, IT'S NOT THE DESIGN.
WE PUT IT TOGETHER WRONG?
FOUR WEEKS LEFT. WE'RE NEVER GONNA MAKE IT.
READY FOR SOME GOOD NEWS?
THIS IS A BILL OF LADING AND THIS IS A CHECK
FROM THE U.S. DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY.
OUR SOLAR PANELS
ARE ON THEIR WAY.
[Gasps] OUR SOLAR PANELS ARE ON THE WAY.
LET'S HAVE ONE BIG HUG, EH?
WHAT? OKAY!
SO, IT'S NOT PERFECT,
BUT IT'S A START.
COME ON, GILBERT.
[Sandra] GUYS?
IF YOU'RE GONNA FLUNK ANYBODY,
FLUNK ME.
I'M THE ONE WHO BLEW IT.
OKAY, MR. MACHI,
I'M GONNA MAKE THIS BRIEF.
I'VE GOT $10,000 WORTH OF SOLAR PANELS ON
THEIR WAY HERE AND NO CAR TO PUT THEM ON.
AND EXACTLY FOUR WEEKS TO DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT,
AND I NEED YOUR EXPERTISE.
SOUNDS GREAT.
NO, THANKS.
I'M GONNA HANDLE THE PAPERWORK
MYSELF, ALL THE DETAILS.
ALL I NEED YOU TO DO, ALL THEY NEED YOU TO DO,
IS HELP THEM GET THIS CAR READY.
YOU DIDN'T HEAR ME, MS. BEECHER.
I'M NOT INTERESTED IN YOUR LITTLE PROJECT.
YOU ARE A TEACHER HERE,
AREN'T YOU?
COME HERE.
LOOK AROUND.
YOU SEE ALL THIS?
EVERY FALL THEY DRAG THIS CRAP IN HERE,
SAYING HOW THEY'RE GONNA FIX THINGS UP.
AND EVERY SUMMER,
I CALL THE SCRAP YARD AND HAVE THEM HAUL IT ALL AWAY.
THEY'RE QUITTERS,
THAT'S ALL.
THEYDON'TFINISHANYTHING,
EVER.
WHICH IS JUST WHAT YOU'RE FINDING OUT,
AND WHY I DIDN'T GET INVOLVED IN THE FIRST PLACE.
THEY'RE KIDS. THEY NEED HELP.
THEY NEED OUR HELP.
THEY'RE LOLOS, LADY.
AND WHAT THEY DON'T NEED
IS ANOTHER LESSON IN FAILING.
THAT'S ALL THEY KNOW, ALL THEY HEAR AT HOME,
AND ALL THEY EXPECT FROM THEMSELVES.
DO YOU KNOW WHAT THAT GETS THEM?
FIVE BUCKS AN HOUR
CLEANINGUP
AFTERTOURISTS.
LOOK
YOU SEEM LIKE
A NICE LADY.
I'M SURE YOU MEAN WELL.
YOU'RE SETTING THEM UP TO HAVE THEIR HEARTS STOMPED,
AND I'M NOT GONNA HELP YOU DO THAT.
[Glass Shattering]
WELL, IT LOOKS LIKE WE'VE GOT
A LITTLE PROBLEM HERE, HUH?
I'M NOT QUITTING.
GILBERT, COME ON.
I'M NOT GETTING OUT.
GO ON.
I'LL HANDLE THIS.
JUST STAY RIGHT THERE, GILBERT.
DON'T MOVE.
STAY IN THAT CAR
AS LONG AS YOU WANT.
[KnockAtDoor]
I, UH --
I HEARD ABOUT YOUR PROJECT.
SORRY IT DIDN'T PAN OUT.
HEY, UH, LISTEN.
THERE'S A PART-TIME JOB
AT THE PALMS.
BANQUET FACILITIES.
DO YOU WANT ME TO PUT YOUR NAME IN?
WHATEVER.
I KNOW YOU'RE DISAPPOINTED,
BUT YOU'LL FIND ANOTHER HOBBY.
IT WASN'T A HOBBY, DAD.
IT'S JUST THAT I'M NOT THAT GOOD
AT A LOT OF THINGS, DAD.
LIKE SCHOOL,
FOR INSTANCE.
I WAS THE SAME WAY.
BUT WITH DESIGNING,
IT'S DIFFERENT.
I SEE THINGS.
IT'S CLEAR TO ME,
YOU KNOW?
AND I'M GOOD AT IT.
I MEAN, I COULD BE.
YOU CAN'T ALWAYS DO
WHAT YOU WANT TO DO, DANIEL.
SOMETIMES YOU'VE JUST GOTTA
DO WHAT'S THERE.
TRY TO GET SOME SLEEP,
HUH?
THAT'S PERFECT.

[Mrs. Chang]
IF THERE'S NO FURTHER BUSINESS--
WAIT. JUST ONE MORE THING.
I'LL MAKE THIS BRIEF. [Sighing]
I DON'T KNOW IF YOU ALL
ARE AWARE OF THIS,
BUT MY KIDS JUST COMPLETED WORK
ON THEIR SOLAR CAR
AND THEY'RE GOING
TO BE RACING IT THIS WEEKEND.
HOW CAN WE HELP YOU?
THE PROBLEM IS,
IT'S NOT EXACTLY A PROBLEM
BUT IF WE WIN THE RACE,
THEN WE GO ON TO AUSTRALIA.
AND BECAUSE THIS IS A SCHOOL-SPONSORED EVENT,
I JUST REALIZED
THAT I'M GOING TO NEED
ANOTHER CHAPERONE.
SPECIFICALLY,
A MALE CHAPERONE.
ANY VOLUNTEERS?
SEE AUSTRALIA?
WITHAPACK OFWOLVES?
[TeachersLaughing]
HOW ABOUT YOU, FRANK? MS.
BEECHER AND I HAVE HAD OUR CHAT. SHE KNOWS HOW I FEEL.
MM-HMM.
AND YOU WERE WRONG.
MY KIDS DIDN'T QUIT.
WELL, JOAN OF ARC WOULDN'T LET THEM.
[Laughing]
OKAY, FRANK, IF YOU'RE SO SURE
THEY'RE GONNA LOSE,
WHY DON'T YOU SIGN THE PAPER,
OR ARE YOU AFRAID YOU'RE GONNA BE WRONG AGAIN?
[Chuckling]
I'LL SIGN IT.
JUST BECAUSE
I WANT EVERYONE TO KNOW
THAT IT WAS YOUR IDEA.
BAD IDEA.
YOUR IDEA.
THANK YOU.
HEY, WHAT ARE YOU DOING?
WE GOT A RACE TODAY.
[P.A. Announcer]
FIVE MINUTES TO RACE TIME.
FIVE MINUTES TO RACE TIME.
DRIVERS, PREPARE TO TAKE
YOUR VEHICLES.
ALL OTHER TEAM MEMBERS
MUST BE SAFELY OFF THE TRACK
AND IN THEIR DESIGNATED AREAS
BEFORE THE START OF THE RACE.
THE FIRST TEAM TO COMPLETE
THE REQUIRED 100 LAPS
WILL BE DECLARED THE WINNER
AND GO ON TO COMPETE--
I DON'T BELIEVE THIS.
WHERE ARE THEY?
[HornHonking,
KidsCheering]
HERE WE COME!
WHAT THE HECK IS THAT?
JUST ANOTHER LOCAL ENTRY, SIR.
NOTHING TO WORRY ABOUT.
GET IT OUT OF THE TRUCK.
ABOUT TIME, YOU GUYS.
WHERE HAVE YOU BEEN?
DANIEL HAD AN IDEA.
PUT IN AN EXTRA BATTERY.
THAT'S 30 MORE POUNDS.
WE'LL NEED IT WHEN IT CLOUDS OVER.
WHAT CLOUDS?
BY THIS AFTERNOON IT'LL BE FULL OF CLOUDS.
DANIEL KNOWS THE SKY.
THAT'S BULL.
LET'S TAKE IT OUT.
THERE'S NO TIME FOR THAT.
WE'VE GOTTA GET IT TO THE START LINE. LET'S GO.
WHERE'D YOU GET
THE EXTRA BATTERY?
[Engine Sputters,
Dies]
DANIEL!
ONI, YOU'RE FIRST.
SHOW 'EM WHAT WE CAN DO. LET'S GO!
AH, SH-- C'MON, GET IT OUTTA HERE.
WE'LL RUN WITHOUT IT. MOVE.
[P.A.] ALL VEHICLES MUST TAKE

TESTING, TESTING. CAN YOU HEAR ME?
CAN YOU HEAR ME, ONI?
YEAH, YEAH. HOW DO I LOOK, EH?
ONI, COME ON, CONCENTRATE.

[Cackling]
GOD, THIS IS PATHETIC!
ONI, WHAT'S WRONG?
CAN'T YOU GO FASTER?
I'M TRYING. SHE DON'T GO.
DANIEL, WHEN YOU GUYS PUT IN THE BATTERY,
WHO TIGHTENED THE TERMINALS?
MARCO DID. NO, I DIDN'T.
YOU DID, DIDN'T YOU?
[Together]
WE GOT NO BATTERIES!
ONI! ONI, COME ON!

[Snores]
OH, GROW UP.
[P.A.] ACCIDENT ON THE FIELD.
PLEASE, STAY OFF THE TRACK.
SO, HOW FAR

OH, ABOUT 45 LAPS.
HEY DANIEL, NEXT TIME YOU TALK
TO YOUR LITTLE CLOUD FRIENDS,
TELL THEM THEY SCREWED US
BIG TIME.
LET'S PUT IN MARCO.
HE'S THE BEST DRIVER. FORGET IT.
THE CAR'S TOO HEAVY.
NO WAY WE'RE GONNA CATCH 'EM NOW.
NOT NECESSARILY.
OUR BATTERIES ARE FRESHER BY ALMOST HALF. SO?
THEY'RE TOTALLY DEPENDENT ON THE
SUN FOR POWER NOW AND WE'RE NOT.
SO, IF DANIEL'S RIGHT,
THEN--
PIT STOP! LET'S GO!
MARCO, YOU'RE UP!

I'M PUTTING THOSE LOLOS AWAY.
[P.A.] WE'RE IN THE FINAL QUARTER OF OUR RACE,
WITH SUTCLIFFE ACADEMY

WHAT'S GOING ON HERE, FRYMAN?
I DON'T KNOW.
[P.A.] DOWN TO TWO CARS,
AS COCKROACH CONTINUES TO NARROW SUN DOG'S LEAD.
[Radford] LISTEN TO ME, STEVEN,
AND LISTEN GOOD.
FOLLOW MY GAME PLAN.
COME ON!
WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU DOIN'?
LAY OFF THE PEDAL! YOU'RE GONNA DRAIN IT!
SHUT UP!
[P.A.] HERE WE GO INTO THE FINAL ONE HUNDREDTH LAP.
SUTCLIFFE ACADEMY STILL LEADING KONA-PALI BY ONE.
COME ON!
WHOO!
[Electricity Crackling]
HUH? WHAT THE--
ONE MORE!
ONE MORE!
COME ON!
COME ON!
[Groaning]
[Yelling]
GO, MARCO! COME ON!
COME ON!
HOLD ON, MARCO!
[P.A.]
KONA-PALI HAS WON THE RACE!
YES!
KONA! KONA!
YES!
[Screams]
DAD, THIS ISN'T FAIR! COME ON,
THEY CAN'T WIN! STEVE.
WE'RE SUPPOSED TO GO TO AUSTRALIA!
GIVE ME YOUR JACKET.
[Man] OUR ENGINEERS PRACTICALLY BUILT THE SUTCLIFFE CAR.
THAT'S WHAT MY MONEY WAS MEANT TO SPONSOR.
THEY WON EVEN USING OUR SOLAR CELLS.
I KNOW.
WE'RE GONNA HAVE TO PUT A LITTLE SPIN ON THIS.
I HAVE GOT $60 MILLION IN GOVERNMENT
CONTRACTS WAITING TO CLEAR CONGRESS.
THAT IS A LOT OF SOLAR CELLS,
AND I AM NOT RISKING CELTECH'S REPUTATION
OR MY FORTUNE,
ON A BUNCH OF KIDS IN A YELLOW GO-CART.
WE SAID WE'D SPONSOR AND WE CAN'T RENEGE ON THIS.
IT'S PART OF THE U.S. PACKAGE.
I DON'T WANT TO KNOW ABOUT IT.
I JUST WANT IT FIXED.
TELL US ABOUT YOUR STRATEGY,
THIS DOUBLE BATTERY IDEA.
ASK DANIEL.
HE'S THE ONE WHO CAME UP WITH THE WHOLE IDEA.
DANIEL, YOU THE MAN!
GOOD CALL, MAN!
EXCUSE ME. ALL RIGHT.
ALL RIGHT! THE KONA-PALI TEAM.
IT'S AN AMAZING EFFORT.
IT'S JUST GREAT.
DIDN'T QUITE TURN OUT THE WAY
I THOUGHT IT WOULD,
BUT WE ARE YOUR SPONSORS,
SO LET'S PUT OUR JACKET AROUND YOU HERE.
GIVE HIM ROOM FOR PHOTOGRAPHS.
ALL RIGHT?
MOST OF YOU KNOW
THAT THE TOP
U.S. ENTRIES IN THIS YEAR'S
WORLD SOLAR CHALLENGE
ARE RUN BY CELTECH'S FAMED
ZIGON SOLAR CELLS.
WE WOULD LIKE YOU,
OUR ONLY HIGH SCHOOL TEAM,
TO HAVE THAT SAME ADVANTAGE,
ALL RIGHT?
THAT MEANS WE'RE GONNA BE RETROFITTING
YOUR PANELS AND OVERALL DESIGN.
YOU MEAN, REBUILD THE CAR?
WAIT A MINUTE!
NO, OUR TECHNICIANS
CAN DO WONDERS.
NO, WE DON'T NEED YOUR HELP
OR YOUR SOLAR CELLS.
JUST GIVE US OUR PLANE TICKETS AND GET OUT OF THE WAY, MAN.
YO, BRAHS.
MAYBE HE'S RIGHT.
IF WE'RE GONNA COMPETE--
NO, DANIEL. THIS IS OUR CAR, THE WAY WE BUILT IT,
THE WAY US ANIMALS BUILT IT.
SO GIVE HIM BACK HIS JACKET AND LET'S GO.
[Oni] RIGHT!
[Marco]
YEAH, LET'S GO.
KONARULES!
AUSTRALIA!
ALL RIGHT,
HERE WE COME!
[Sandra]
MR. MACHI!
FRANK!
WHERE DO YOU THINK YOU'RE GOING?
HOME TO PACK.
DO YOU KNOW THERE ARE MORE POISONOUS SNAKES
IN AUSTRALIA THAN ANY COUNTRY IN THE WORLD?
THEN REMIND ME TO ZIP UP MY TENT.
TENT?
NO TENT.
* TRAVELING IN
A FRIED-OUT KOMBIE *
* ON A HIPPIE TRAIL

LOOK AT THAT, EH? LOOK AT THAT
COOL ONE OVER THERE.
WHAT ARE WE DOING HERE?
[Sandra] WE CAME HERE TO RACE JUST LIKE EVERYBODY ELSE.
CAN WE EAT FIRST, PLEASE?
HOW THEY GET SO MANY KIND OF
BUGS HERE ANYWAY?
ONI, IF YOU DON'T STOP COMPLAINING-- I WANNA EAT!
NO I WANNA GO TO THE BATHROOM,
THEN EAT, THEN SHOWER.
THEN I'M GONNA MURDER YOU.
ALL RIGHT, ALL RIGHT, ALL RIGHT,
EVERYBODY.
WELL, MS. BEECHER?
FIRST WE'RE GONNA SPLIT UP.
YOU'RE GONNA TAKE THE BOYS AND GET THE VAN AND TRAILER.
THE GIRLS ARE GONNA COME WITH ME AND GET THE WINNEBAGO,
AND WE'RE GONNA MEET WHERE WE STARTED.
COME ON, GIRLS.
LET'S GO.
GILBERT, HAVE YOU SEEN
ANY KOALAS OR KANGAROOS YET?
WHEW. I'M STUCK.
[P.A.] WILL THE ITALIAN TEAM'S DRIVERS
REPORT TO THE WEIGH-IN STATION?
THERE YOU GO.
[P.A.] NOW ARRIVING,
THE REIGNING WORLD SOLAR CHAMPIONS, HANS KOOIMAN,
THE EURO-TEAM AND FELIX "X."
WHAT ARE WE DOING HERE?
[Excited Chatting]
HANS!
HANS KOOIMAN!
HANS, YOU'VE DRAWN
A LATE GRID POSITION.
ARE YOU WORRIED AT ALL
ABOUT YOUR CHANCES?
WHY SHOULD I WORRY?
EVERYONE KNOWS WE ARE THE BEST. DON'T THEY?
HA-HA.
THANK YOU.
YOU SURE YOU'RE A DRIVER,
LOVE?
ALTERNATE.
WE'VE GOT OUR VEHICLES.
WE'VE GOT OUR GRID POSITION.
NUMBER 12. NOT A BAD DRAW.
VEHICLE'S CHECKED IN.
OH, AND A CAPTAIN.
WE NEED TO PICK A CAPTAIN.
I NOMINATE DANIEL WEBSTER.
IT WAS HIS DESIGN.
I DON'T KNOW.
[Marco] YEAH, BROTHER.
YOU GOT US HERE WITH YOUR EXTRA BATTERY AND EVERYTHING, EH?
OKAY? IS THAT ALL RIGHT
WITH EVERYBODY?
DON'T MEAN NOTHIN' TO ME.
DOESN'T MEAN ANYTHING TO YOU.
NOW, IF I COULD JUST SAY
A FEW WORDS. FIRST OF ALL,
I WANT YOU ALL TO KNOW
HOW PROUD I AM.
TO ME, NO MATTER WHAT HAPPENS,
WIN OR LOSE-- HOLD IT.
I DIDN'T COME HERE TO LOSE.
WHO CAME HERE TO LOSE?
[Grumbling] I DIDN'T MEAN LOSE.
I DIDN'T MEAN LOSE, OKAY?
FRANK?
HMM?
ISN'T THERE SOMETHING
YOU WANT TO SAY
TO THE KIDS
BEFORE THE BIG RACE?
NO.
[Announcer Speaking
In Spanish]
[Continues In Spanish]
THE CAR WE BUILT REACHES
85 KILOMETERS PER HOUR,
WHICH IS ABOUT 55 MILES PER HOUR
WHERE I COME FROM.
[Italian]
[Russian]
[French]
THE START OF
THE WORLD SOLAR CHALLENGE,
A 2,000 MILE
TRANSCONTINENTAL SPRINT
OVER A TWO-LANE HIGHWAY AND SOME OF
THE HARSHEST TERRAIN IN THE WORLD.
THEY'VE COME FROM ALL CORNERS:
SOME 40 UNIVERSITIES
AND COLLEGES, THINK TANKS
AND CORPORATE GIANTS.
AND THEY'VE COME TO WIN
THIS SIX-DAY RACE.
THIS IS JUDD POTTER REPORTING.
COME ON, KONA,
DON'T HOLD US UP.
LET'S GO, MARCO.
KONA, RUN A GOOD, CLEAN RACE.
IF YOU SCREW UP,
YOU'LL BE WATCHING IT ON TELLY.
IT'S GONNA BE HOT OUT THERE,
SO KEEP A CLOSE EYE ON YOUR DRIVERS.
WHATEVER YOU DO,
DON'T MISS THE ROAD TRAINS.
ALL RIGHT?
ANY QUESTIONS?
UH, YEAH.
WHAT'S A ROAD TRAIN?
YOU'RE JOKING, RIGHT?
[Laughing] JOKING, YEAH.
YES, SIR.
GOOD LUCK, MARCO.
[P.A. Announcer] LADIES AND GENTLEMEN,
RACE FANS,
THE TIME HAS COME.
DRIVERS,
START YOUR SOLAR PANELS.
[Cheering]
GOOD LUCK, YOU GUYS!
LOOK AT THAT ONE!
WAY TO GO, MARCO!
[Laughing]
SHUT IT OFF! SHUT IT OFF!
WHATHAPPENED, MAN?
GET THE CHILDREN
OFF THE ROAD!
I'M WITH THE SUPPORT CREW.
EXCUSE ME. THANK YOU.
MOVE HIM!
OVER ON THE SIDE!
WHAT HAVE WE GOT? BUSTED BALL JOINT.
YOU GUYS GET IN HERE.
HOLD IT.
WE'RE THE TEAM!
IT'S OUR CAR.
EXCUSE ME.
[Hans] WE HAVE 3,000 "K's" TO GO!
DANIEL,
WHAT IS GOING ON HERE?
EITHER GET THIS CAR GOING
OR GET IT OUT OF HERE.
WHAT DO YOU MEAN,
GET IT OUT OF HERE?
IS THERE A PROBLEM? YES, THE CAR.
THE CAR IS A PROBLEM.
IT IS AN EMBARRASSMENT
TO THE ENTIRE U.S. EFFORT.
EITHER GET THIS CAR RUNNING,
OR PACK YOUR BAGS AND GO HOME.
WHO ARE YOU AGAIN?
WHO ARE YOU?
I'M THE SHOP TEACHER.
UNFORTUNATELY, I'M YOUR SPONSOR.
AND IF THERE'S ONE MORE SCREW-UP OUT OF YOUR TEAM,
I WILL REVOKE YOUR ELIGIBILITY.
DO YOU UNDERSTAND ME? YEAH.
NOW LET ME TELL YOU SOMETHING.
WE'RE GONNA RUN IN THIS RACE WITH OR
WITHOUT YOUR SO-CALLED SPONSORSHIP.
YOU LISTEN TO ME-- AND IF I SEE YOU TOUCH ONE OF MY KIDS AGAIN,
I'M GONNA PERSONALLY REVOKE
BOTH YOUR LEGS.
WHAT WAS THAT ALL ABOUT?
UH, TECHNICAL STUFF.
DANNY? [Hans] COMEON!
GETTHEMOFFTHETRACK.
MOVE IT! GOD!
[Judd Potter] AND HERE COMES THE PACK NOW,
ABSOLUTELY FLYING DOWN THE STUART HIGHWAY.
U.S. CELTECH AND SOLAR FLARE
HAVE TAKEN COMMAND
OF THIS FIELD, AT WHAT SEEMS
TO BE A RECORD-SETTING PACE.
THE HIGH SCHOOL KIDS FROM HAWAII WHO
BROKE DOWN AT THE START ARE IN LAST PLACE.
LET'S CHECK THE LEADER BOARD AND SEE HOW
THE REST OF THE COMPETITORS ARE DOING.
YOU CAN DO WHAT YOU LIKE WITH YOUR CAR DURING OFF HOURS
SO LONG AS IT'S NOT A HAIR PAST THIS LINE
COME START TIME TOMORROW. QUESTIONS?
YEAH.
HOW FAR ARE WE BEHIND?
HARD TO SAY. THEY'RE A WEE BIT
OUT OF RADIO RANGE JUST NOW.
[Sighing]
HEY!
DON'T BE DISCOURAGED.
THAT OLD STUART HIGHWAY HAS A WAY OF EVENING THINGS OUT.
OUT OF 42 STARTERS,
WE'VE ALREADY GOT FIVE FALLEN BY THE WAY.
LIKE I SAY,
IT'S A ROUGH HIGHWAY.

SEE IF SHE'S OKAY.
CINDY, ARE YOU ALL RIGHT?
[Coughing] EXCELLENT, NOW THAT IT'S OVER.
OH, THANK GOD.
THAT WAS FUN, HUH?
I SHOULD'VE LOOKED THAT ONE UP.
[All Laughing]
[Judd]
AFTER JUST TWO DAYS OF RACING,
A FREAK DUST STORM HAS SIMPLY
DECIMATED THE FIELD,
WITH SCORES OF CARS
REPORTEDLY DAMAGED OR DESTROYED.
U.S. CELTECH CONTINUES
ITS COMMANDING LEAD
WITH THE REST OF THE FIELD LITERALLY
SPREAD OUT OVER HUNDREDS OF KILOMETERS.
[Braz]
EURO - TEAM! HEY!
LOOK, IT'S THE EURO-TEAM.
[Oni] HE'S PRETTY CUTE FOR A EUROLOLO.
[Together]
ALOHA!
[Gilbert] DO YOU THINK WE'LL WIN THE RACE,
MR. MACHI?
LET'S JUST GET THROUGH
THE DAY, GILBERT.
[Sandra] YOU SURE IT'S SAFE OUT HERE?
I MEAN, THE KIDS?
WHAT IF THERE'S ANIMALS?
THE ANIMALS WILL JUST HAVE TO FEND FOR THEMSELVES,
WON'T THEY?
[Laughs]
I GUESS SO.
YOU KNOW, FRANK,
I REALLY ADMIRE
THE WAY YOU HANDLE THEM.
YOU MUST HAVE A FEW OF YOUR OWN,
DON'T YOU?
NOPE. NEVER HAPPEN.
NEVER MARRIED?
BETWEEN. YOU?
RECOVERY. STAGE ONE.
OH.
THAT EXPLAINS THE RING.
SO HOW'D YOU END UP
AT KONA?
WELL, I WAS 22,
MACHINIST SECOND CLASS,
THE U. S. S. CLARK.
WE WERE DOWN BELOW
REPAIRING A STRESS FRACTURE
AND HAD AN OXYGEN TANK EXPLODE,
AND FOUR MEN WENT LIKE THAT.
INCLUDINGTHEGUY
WHO JUMPED IN FRONT OF ME,
MACHINIST FIRST CLASS,
JOHN FRANCIS TUTU.
WOW. I'M SORRY.
[Sighs]

DANIEL, WHERE ARE WE?
DANIEL, I DON'T THINK THIS IS THE RIGHT ROAD.
[Marco] WE GOT NOTHING THAT LOOKS LIKE THIS IN KONA.
[Oni] I HATE THIS PLACE!
ARE WE THERE YET?
COME ON, DANIEL.
YOU SAID RIGHT! I KNOW YOU DID.
[Arguing]
I MEANT LEFT.

WELL, IF YOU CAN DO BETTER--
MAYBE I CAN!
COME HERE!

CALM DOWN!
DON'T PUSH ME, HAOLE.
EDUARDO!
YOU RIDE WITH ME.
WITH 16 CARS AT THE HALFWAY POINT,
ANY PREDICTIONS WHO'S GOING TO WIN?
WHEN WE STARTED, I'D SAY
TEAM WITH BEST TECHNOLOGY.
NOW I JUST THINK
TEAM WITH MOST GUTS.
THAT WOULD BE? AS I ALWAYS SAY,
THE EUROPEANS--
IT'S THE HIGH SCHOOL KIDS
FROM KONA.
CORRECTION, CORRECTION.
THERE ARE 17 CARS STILL COMPETING IN THIS RACE.
HERE THEY COME NOW,
THE HAWAIIANS.
[Cheering, Laughing]
CAN WE HAVE A SPOKESMAN HERE?
HOW ABOUT A SPOKESWOMAN?
LUANA! IT'S LUANA!
WE KNOW WE'RE NOT THE MOST EXPERIENCED
TEAM OR THE BRIGHTEST OR BEST,
BUT IT DOESN'T MEAN WE SHOULDN'T BE ALOHA!
TAKEN SERIOUSLY!
[Crowd Cheering]
ALOHA!
MORE PICTURES!
AND THAT,
MR. COMMISSIONER,
IS WHAT WE'RE SHOWING THE WORLD
ABOUT THE FUTURE OF SOLAR TECHNOLOGY.
[Marco] WHO PUT THIS STUFF ON MY SIDE, HUH?
WHAT'S THIS?
THAT'S MINE, MARCO.
YEAH, RIGHT.
THIS IS FOR DRIVERS, CHO.
WHAT, YOU THINK YOU DRIVER NOW?
I MIGHT BE.
IN YOUR DREAMS, FATTY.
HEY UNI, SEE IF YOU CAN FIND ME
ON THE TV, EH?
UNI, CAN YOU HEAR ME?
OKAY, JUST A SECOND.
COME ON, I THOUGHT YOU WERE
SUPPOSED TO BE SMART.
WHY DO YOU LET HER BOSS YOU
AROUND LIKE THAT?
WELL, SHE'S MY FRIEND.
OH, GET REAL. ALL SHE DOES IS
COMPLAIN. SHE'S PATHETIC.
SHUT UP, HAOLE.
YOU'RE JUST JEALOUS.

TOOK IT INTO THE SHOP
AND MELTED IT DOWN.
THEN I PUT IT RIGHT HERE.
THIS TOOTH THERE.
IF I GET MARRIED AGAIN,
I'M GONNA MELT THAT DOWN AND PUT IT RIGHT HERE.
THAT'LL MAKE IT CAPS

WELL, ONE NIGHT I WENT OUTSIDE,

A FLICK OF THE BATTERY SWITCH,
AND YOU COULD WRITE YOUR OWN TICKET.
WHY ARE YOU DOING THIS?
'CAUSE YOU DON'T BELONG HERE AND I THINK YOU KNOW THAT.
WE'RE DOIN' ALL RIGHT.
NAH, THIS IS A WORLD-CLASS EVENT AND YOU'RE
TURNING IT INTO A HIGH SCHOOL SCIENCE PROJECT.
LOOK AT THE BIGGER PICTURE.
TAKE ADVANTAGE OF YOUR OPPORTUNITY.
MAKE SOMETHING OF YOURSELF!
WHAT DO THEY CALL YOU GUYS
IN KONA?
THE "LULUS"? NO, NO, NO.
WHAT IS IT? THE--
LOLOS. LOLOS.

CINDY'S ALL OVER.
CINDY, WHAT'S WRONG?
YOU'RE ALL OVER THE ROAD. IS IT THE STEERING?
AH, NO.
I THINK IT'S JUST ME.
I DON'T REALLY FEEL
TOO GOOD.
ALL RIGHT, BRING IT IN.
[Braz] COME ON, YOU GUYS,
WE'RE GETTING KILLED!
EVERYBODY, LET'S STAY AWAY FROM CINDY.
I DON'T WANT ANYBODY ELSE GETTIN' SICK.

[Frank] IF EVERYONE'S AGREED,
THEN THAT'S WHAT WE'VE DECIDED.
WHERE ARE WE, YOU GUYS?
YOU SHOULD'VE WOKE ME.
WHY DON'T YOU HAVE A SEAT, CINDY?
WE'RE FINISHING UP A TEAM MEETING.
SO, WHAT'S UP
BESIDES MY LUNCH?
WE WERE TALKING ABOUT HOW DANGEROUS THIS RACE COULD BE,
AND HOW IT WOULDN'T BE GOOD IF
ANYBODY ON THE TEAM WERE DRINKING.
UH, WHAT IS THIS,
A TRIAL?
NO, BUT IT IS A SCHOOL-SPONSORED EVENT.
YOU KNOW THE RULES.
YOU DISGUST ME!
DON'T STINK-EYE ME, GIRL.
I DIDN'T SAY NOTHING.
WHO WENT THROUGH MY THINGS? [Sandra] CINDY,
YOU CAN TRAVEL WITH THE TEAM.
BUT WE CAN'T ALLOW YOU TO PARTICIPATE ANY FURTHER.
DO YOU UNDERSTAND?
NO. I ASKED A QUESTION. I WANT TO KNOW WHO
WENT THROUGH MY PERSONAL BELONGINGS? WHO?
I DID.
YOU.
YOU, DANIEL.
FINE.
THANKS.
THANKS VERY MUCH.
HOLD IT.
THEY'LL BE ALL RIGHT.
CINDY!
COME ON, CINDY.
I KNOW YOU'RE IN HERE--
CINDY, DO YOU THINK
I WANTED TO DO THIS?
THEN WHY DID YOU?
BECAUSE
I HATE TO SEE WHAT YOU DO TO YOURSELF.
YOU'RE MY SISTER!
GOD, HERE WE GO, RIGHT?
HERE WE GO WHERE, CINDY? WE LIVE IN THE SAME HOUSE!
IT'S THE SAME FAMILY, RIGHT?
NO! IT'S NOT A FAMILY.
IT NEVER WAS AND IT NEVER WILL BE!
I JUST FIGURED IT OUT.
YOU DON'T WANT TO BE A PART OF ANYTHING.
I WAS A PART OF SOMETHING!
I HAD A DAD AND A MOM.
AND SHE NEVER SHOULD'VE DIVORCED HIM IN THE FIRST PLACE.
CINDY,
YOUR DAD'S A TOTAL JERK.
HE NEVER CALLS YOU.
HE NEVER WRITES.
THAT'S BECAUSE
HE'S BUSY, DANIEL!
WHEN YOU'RE RICH,
YOU'RE BUSY. OKAY?
DANIEL, JUST GO. OKAY?
LEAVE ME ALONE, DANIEL!
[Judd] IT'S DAY FIVE OF THE SIX-DAY
TRANSCONTINENTAL WORLD SOLAR CHALLENGE.
AND THE HEAT IS REALLY BEGINNING
TO TAKE ITS TOLL.
U.S. CELTECH STILL HOLDS ITS 100
KILOMETER LEAD OVER SOLAR FLARE.
THE REST OF THE FIELD THINNING AS
TEMPERATURES CONTINUE TO RISE.
HEY, MISS TEACH,
YOU COLD?
ONI, YOU'RE COLD?
WE'RE DYIN' IN HERE!
YOU FEELIN' ALL RIGHT?
YEAH, I JUST,
JUST A LITTLE BIT COLD.
YOU OKAY? ALL RIGHT.
WON'T BE ANY MORE DRIVING
FOR YOU TODAY.
CAPTAIN? CAPTAIN?
GILBERT'S COME UP WITH AN IDEA HERE.
TELL HIM, GILBERT.
NO, YOU TELL HIM.
OKAY.
[Uni] THE REST OF THE RACE IS FLAT
EXCEPT FOR THAT HILL AT THE FINISH.
SO WHY ARE WE RUNNING A COMPROMISE SIX-TO-TEN GEARING RATIO
WHEN WE COULD JUST SWITCH
TO A BIGGER DRIVE?
SAY AN EIGHT-TO-TEN,
AND GO THAT MUCH FASTER.
TWO HOURS AND SIX MINUTES.
RIGHT, GILBERT? ABOUT.
IT'S YOUR IDEA,
GILBERT?
YEAH!
LET'S DO IT!
I'M LOVIN' IT, BRAH!
THIS COCKROACH IS SLAMMIN'!

YOU KNOW WHAT IS SORRY?
YOU, LITTLE COCKROACH, YOU AND THAT TRASH!
IT WAS AN ACCIDENT,

SO HE DESIGNED OUR CAR.
BIG DEAL!
I'M THE ONE WHO BUILT IT.
I'M THE ONE WHO KNOWS HOW TO FIX IT.
I'M THE ONE WHO HAS TO FIGHT YOUR FIGHTS.
NOT YOU, HAOLE.
SHUT UP, BRAZ.
IT HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH BEING HAOLE.
OH, YEAH?
I SAW YOU KISSING UP TO THAT CELTECH GUY.
WHATDIDYOUDO?
MAYBEMAKEADEAL, DANNYBOYCAPTAIN?
IS THAT WHAT YOU THINK?
COME ON, BRAZ, YOU'RE WAY OUT OF LINE.
NO! MAYBE HE'S RIGHT.
MAYBE I'M NOT CUT OUT FOR THIS.
YOU WANT IT THAT BAD, BRAZ?
TAKE IT, MAN.
IT'S ALL YOURS.
YOU HEARD HIM.
LET'S GO.
HOW'S SHE DOING?
FEVER'S BROKEN.
BUT I DON'T KNOW ABOUT TOMORROW.
LOOKS LIKE WE'RE DOWN
TO TWO DRIVERS.
ONE MORE DAY, HUH?
HOW'S IT GOING
OUT THERE?
IT'S A LITTLE QUIET.
TOO QUIET, YOU KNOW?
YEAH.
HERE.
I'M SCARED.
WE GOTTA FINISH THIS,
LUANA.
I KNOW.
I KNOW.
[Judd] IT'S THE LAST DAY OF RACING AND HERE'S WHERE WE STAND.
U.S. CELTECH HAS CAMPED
JUST OUTSIDE OF ADELAIDE
READY TO MAKE
ITS FINAL SPRINT TO VICTORY.
RIGHT BEHIND U.S. CELTECH,
SOLAR FLARE
WOULD APPEAR TO HAVE
A LOCK ON SECOND.
AFTER THAT,
THE REAL QUESTION IS WHETHER ANY OF THE REMAINING TEAMS
HAS WHAT IT TAKES TO FINISH THIS GRUELING EVENT.
THREE
TWO ONE,
GO!
[Judd]
WE'RE HERE IN ADELAIDE,
AND WE'RE ABOUT TO HAVE A NEW
WORLD SOLAR CHALLENGE CHAMP.
LET'S GO OUT
AND PICK UP THE ACTION.
[Judd] AND IT'S U.S. CELTECH TAKING ON
THE STEEPEST PART OF TEFFLEY'S HILL.
SOLAR FLARE ONLY SECONDS BEHIND.
JUST LOOK AT THE--
LET'S JUST WORRY
ABOUT OURSELVES, HUH?
[Crowd Cheering]
JACK FRYMAN, A MARVELOUS FINISH
FOR U.S. CELTECH.
YOU'VE GOT TO BE PLEASED.
IT'S ALWAYS NICE TO SEE YOUR LOGO CROSS THE FINISH LINE FIRST.
I AM DISAPPOINTED THAT WE DON'T HAVE
A CLEAN SWEEP FOR THE AMERICANS.
HOWEVER, WE DO HAVE THREE CARS
STILL VYING FOR THIRD.
YOU GOT FOUR, JACK.
OH, YEAH.
THAT'S RIGHT!
THE HAWAIIANS.

[Judd] IF ANY SOLAR TEAM EVER SYMBOLIZED
THE PIONEERING SPIRIT OF THIS RACE,
ITWASTHESEKIDS
FROMKONA,
BYFARTHEYOUNGESTCREW EVERTOPARTICIPATEIN
THEWORLDSOLARCHALLENGE.
EVERYONE IN THE RACE HAS GOT TO BE
ENORMOUSLY PROUD OF THEIR VALIANT EFFORTS.
JACK?
ABSOLUTELY!
IT'S JUST A SHAME WE WON'T GET TO
SEE THEM CROSS THE FINISH LINE.
[Judd] TO RECAP,
THE SOLAR TEAM FROM KONA, HAWAII,
IS FINALLY HAVING
TO CALL IT QUITS.
[Gautier] HANS, DID YOU HEAR?
GAUTIER, I WAS WRONG ABOUT ONE THING.
THERE IS A GOD!
EH?
IT RUNS. IT RUNS!
WE CAN STILL MAKE IT.
NOT BY ITSELF, IT CAN'T.
WE'RE OUT OF DRIVERS. WHAT ABOUT MARCO?
MARCO?
THAT'S TOO DANGEROUS.
THEN ONI? SHE CAN'T GET BACK IN THAT CAR.
LOOK AT HER.
LOOK, GUYS.
WE ALREADY PROVED OURSELVES.
WE'D ONLY KILL OURSELVES.
WHAT ABOUT ME?
I'LL DRIVE.
GILBERT, YOU'RE NOT A DRIVER.
YOU'RE NOT REGISTERED. BUT I AM. TELL THEM.
HE IS. WELL, HE WAS.
I AM.
GILBERT,
THE CAR WON'T BUDGE
WITH YOU RIDING IN IT.
I'M SORRY, YOU KNOW,
IT JUST WON'T WORK.
ALL RIGHT?
LOOK, EVERYBODY,
I KNOW YOU HAD YOUR HEART SET ON FINISHING THIS RACE.
SO DID I.
THAT'S WHY WE CAME.
BUT IT'S OVER.
IT'S OVER.
[Frank]
OKAY?
YOU'VE NOTHING
TO BE ASHAMED OF.
YOU KNOW, WE'RE THE FIRST,
THE ONLY HIGH SCHOOL TEAM
TO EVER RUN IN THIS RACE.
THAT PUTS YOU, EACH AND EVERY ONE OF YOU,
IN THE RECORD BOOKS.
THINK ABOUT THAT.
HANG ONTO THAT
BECAUSE THAT'S FOREVER.
[Frank] AND ONE MORE THING.
BY COMING HERE,
BY COMPETING AGAINST
SOME OF THE BEST ENGINEERS,
TOP TEAMS, TOP DRIVERS IN THE WORLD,
YOU'VE PROVED SOMETHING ELSE.
YOU KNOW WHAT THAT IS?
THAT YOU DON'T EVER,
AND I MEAN EVER
GET TO CALL YOURSELVES
THE LOLOS AGAIN.
COME ON, HELP ME GET THIS
IN THE TRAILER.
MR. MACHI,
WITHALLDUERESPECT, SIR,
YOU'RE WRONG
ABOUT ONE THING.
A LOLO WOULD PACK IT IN NOW,
WOULD TAKE THE EASY WAY OUT.
THAT'S WHAT
EVERYONE WOULD EXPECT.
I'M NOT QUITTING.
UNLESS I FINISH THIS RACE,
NO MATTER WHAT THE RECORD BOOK SAYS,
I'LL ALWAYS BE A LOLO IN HERE.
DANIEL--
UNI, IF WE DROP THE SOLAR PANELS,
HOW MUCH WEIGHT DO WE LOSE?
ABOUT 100 POUNDS. OKAY.
ONI, HOW MUCH JUICE WE GOT LEFT IN THE BATTERY?
THIRTY,
MAYBE 40 PERCENT.
SUBTRACT THAT FROM GILBERT'S WEIGHT.
IT WON'T GO FAST, BUT-- BUT IT'LL GO.
SANDRA, YOU WANT TO HELP ME?
I'M NEW AT THIS. REMEMBER?
WHAT DO YOU SAY, BRAZ?
YOU WANT TO HANG WITH THE HAOLE, KICKALITTLEBUTT?

HANG ON, GILBERT. HANG ON THERE.
I'LL GIVE YOU A HAND WITH THAT.
YEAH, IT'S OVER THERE.
THANK YOU.
[Class Chatting]

GOOD MORNING.
ALOHA.

ALOHA!
I'M MS. BEECHER.
ANDI'LLBE
YOURTEACHER.
OKAY. MS. BEECHER
THE TEACHER.
OKAY, NOW.
YOU MIGHT HAVE ALREADY HEARD.
YOUR REGULAR TEACHER,
MR. STENKE, QUIT.
[Class Cheering]
STINKY STENKE!
STINKY STENKE!
STINKY STENKE!
STINKY STENKE!
UH, WHAT MIGHT YOUR NAME BE?
MARCO QUITO
THE MOSQUITO.
WHOO!
VERY IMPRESSIVE, MR. QUITO.
NOW REMOVE YOUR CAP AND TAKE YOUR SEAT.
WE KNOW YOU LOVE HER,
MARCO. JUST SIT DOWN.
LISTEN, I'M GOING TO BE HONEST
WITH YOU, OKAY?
MY TRAINING IS IN ENGLISH,
NOT SCIENCE.
SHUCKS!
NOW, CAN ANYBODY TELL ME
WHERE WE MIGHT BE
IN OUR SCIENCE BOOKS?
UH,
M-MOLECULAR TRANSMUTATION?
SHUT UP, FATSO!
MR. QUITO!
YOU APOLOGIZE.
FOR WHAT? HE KNOWS WHAT HE IS.
I MEAN, WE ALL DO.
WE THE LOLOS, EH. WE DON'T BOTHER NO BOOKS.
[Girl] YOU TELL HER.
OH, SO NICE OF YOU TO JOIN US.
A LITTLE LATE, BUT YOU ARE?
EXCUSE ME, BUT I BELIEVE I SAID,
"WHAT'S YOUR NAME?"
EDUARDO BRAZ.
WOULD ANYBODY LIKE TO JOIN
EDUARDO BRAZ IN DETENTION?
YEAH. UH-HUH.
[Class Giggling]
[Kicks Chair]
HEY, DANIEL.
THAT'S IT, OKAY?
THIS IS MY CLASSROOM.
AND WHEN YOU ARE IN MY CLASSROOM
YOU'RE GONNA HAVE TO COOPERATE.
THAT MEANS
YOU PAY ATTENTION.
AND YOU SPEAK
WHEN YOU ARE CALLED UPON.
WHAT DID I SAY?
WHAT IS THIS?
JUST MY SKETCHES.
FINE!
OPEN YOUR BOOKS. LOLOS OR NOT, FROM NOW ON,
YOU WILL BE BOTHERING WITH YOUR BOOKS.
GILBERT, WE'RE GONNA START
WITH YOU. WHAT CHAPTER?
[Gilbert] SIX.
[Beecher] SIX. OKAY, LET'S GO.
[ClassGrumbling]
OKAY, IF WE DO HAVE TO CUT BACK
ON CUSTODIAL SERVICES, WELL...
WE'LL ALL JUST HAVE TO MANAGE.
OIL CHANGE.
UNSUCCESSFUL.
NO PROBLEM.
WE WERE JUST WRAPPING UP.
ALL RIGHT,
IF THERE'S NO FURTHER BUSINESS.
YES, ONE MORE THING.
YES, SANDRA?
THE DISTRICT SCIENCE FAIR.
I JUST REALIZED IT'S THIS WEEK,
AND I WAS WONDERING WHY NONE OF OUR STUDENTS
ARE PARTICIPATING.
FRANK?
WEREN'T YOU HELPING STENKE
WITH THIS?
WE COULDN'T DRUM UP INTEREST.
THAT'S NOT TRUE.
EXCUSE ME?
THAT'S NOT TRUE.
ONE OF MY STUDENTS WAS DEFINITELY INTERESTED.
I THINK IF SOMEBODY HAD TAKEN
A LITTLE BIT MORE TIME,
MAYBE TAKEN THE THING
MORE SERIOUSLY--
AH, TIME. SERIOUSLY.
THAT'S WHAT I FORGOT.
MAYBE YOU SHOULD DO IT NEXT YEAR, OKAY?
IF YOU'RE STILL HERE.
[Teachers Laughing]
SANDRA, LOOK.
I THINK WE ALL APPRECIATE
YOUR ENTHUSIASM
BUT I ALSO THINK WE NEED TO BE REALISTIC ABOUT
WHAT WE CAN ACCOMPLISH HERE AT KONA-PALI.
BUT THANKS FOR YOUR COMMENTS.
AND THANK YOU ALL.
DON'T EVER DO THAT AGAIN.
PARDON ME?
JUST WORK HERE A WHILE,
THEN YOU'LL UNDERSTAND.
OKAY?
OKAY, DANIEL,
WHAT IS THIS?
THAT WAS AN IDEA I WAS WORKING ON.
WHAT DO YOU THINK?
WHAT ARE THESE THINGS SUPPOSED TO BE?
DIMPLES.
LIKE ON A GOLF BALL.
LESS FRICTION, MORE SPEED.
AND NO SALES!
DO YOU KNOW WHAT IT WOULD COST TO BUILD A BOARD LIKE THIS?
EVEN IF IT'S BUILDABLE.
IT'S JUST AN IDEA, GUY.
IF YOU WANT TO BE A DESIGNER,
GO TO COLLEGE.
IF YOU WANT TO EARN FIVE BUCKS AN HOUR FROM ME,
STICK TO THE PATTERNS.
PATTERNS ARE BORING, GUY.
WE CAN DO BETTER.
YOU'RE A SHAPER, KID.
SHAPE!
[Girl Coughing]
[Coughing]
GOD, I'M LIKE SICK.
OH, I'M NOT SURPRISED.
WHAT TIME DID YOU GET IN
LAST NIGHT?
GOD, DANIEL, GET SOME HELP.
DON'T DO THAT IN FRONT OF ME.
LOOK, I CAN'T HANDLE SCHOOL.
TURN THIS INTO THE OFFICE
FOR ME, WOULD YOU?
WHAT'S "CRAPS"?
"CRAMPS," DANIEL.
CRAMPS.
GOD, YOU CAN BE SO STUPID
SOMETIMES.
GUESS I'M BUSY.
COME ON.
FIVE BUCKS?
BUY YOURSELF SOME SUNGLASSES.
TEN, THEN!
GIVE ME A BREAK.
I'M YOUR STEPSISTER.
YOU SEE? THAT'S WHY
I DON'T GIVE YOU A BREAK.
IF YOU HAD SAID, "DANIEL,
I'M YOUR SISTER," MAYBE I WOULD HAVE.
[School Bell Rings]
[Sandra] HOLD IT, HOLD IT!
YOU CAN ALL LEAVE
EXCEPT FOR LUANA,
GILBERT, ONI, MARCO,
BRAZ AND DANIEL.
STAY FOR JUST ONE MINUTE.
OKAY, YOU SIX ARE THE ONLY ONES WHO HAVEN'T
COME UP WITH A SCIENCE PROJECT PROPOSAL.
ANYIDEASHERE?
BRILLIANTEXCUSES?
ANYTHING?
OKAY. I'M GONNA GIVE YOU
A CHANCE TO CHANGE ALL THAT
BECAUSE TOMORROW NIGHT
IS THE DISTRICT SCIENCE FAIR.
I'M REQUIRING EACH ONE OF YOU TO ATTEND.
YEAH!
MS. BEECHER!
YOU CAN SEE WHAT THE OTHER KIDS ARE DOING
AND HOPEFULLY GET
A FEW IDEAS OF YOUR OWN.
SEE YOU AT THE SCIENCE FAIR.
DANIEL, WAIT A SECOND. UH--
UH, I THINK YOU'RE GIFTED,
BUT YOU MIGHT WANT TO SAVE THIS FOR ART CLASS.
SEE YOU AT THE FAIR.
BYE.
[Girl]
ISN'T HE CUTE?
HEY, GUYS,
YOU MADE IT!
YEAH. GOOD!
ISN'T THIS GREAT?
I'VE HAD ENOUGH. LET'S GO HOME.
NO, YOU JUST GOT STARTED.
DO YOU SEE ANYTHING INTERESTING?
THE RATS! LOOK AT THAT!
[Man] WE'RE GRATEFUL TO THE OFFICE OF
ENERGY FOR SPONSORING THIS COMPETITION.
BUT TONIGHT WE WANT TO THANK
ONE INDIVIDUAL, MR. JACK FRYMAN,
VICE PRESIDENT OF MARKETING

TO COMPETE IN THE WORLD SOLAR CHALLENGE IN AUSTRALIA.
SO LET'S WIN BIG HERE
AND THEN IT'S ON TO AUSTRALIA.
[Cheering, Applause]
THANK YOU.

HEY, HANDS OFF,
DIRTBAG!
I WAS JUST ADMIRING IT,

BRAZ.
YEAH? WHAT?

WHAT'S YOUR PROBLEM, BRAZ?
MY PROBLEM?
I DON'T HAVE A PROBLEM, HAOLE.
IKNOWWHOIAM.
I'M AS LOCAL AS YOU ARE.
I GREW UP HERE, TOO, ALL RIGHT? OH, YEAH?
I DIDN'T SEE MUCH OF THAT
LAST NIGHT, "BRAH."
THEY WAS LAUGHING AT US,
DANIEL. LAUGHING.
AND LOCALS DON'T TAKE THAT.
UNDERSTAND?
SO HOW ABOUT IT, BRAH?
WANT TO GO KICK SOME HAOLE'S BUTT?
I'M NOT A FIGHTER.
YEAH, NO JOKE!
LOOK, MAN,
YOU REALLY WANT TO KICK BUTT?
DO IT WITH THIS.
WOW!
WHAT IS THAT?
WHAT'S IT LOOK LIKE? GEEZ!
IT'S A SOLAR CAR.
I KNEW THAT.
WHEN'D YOU COME UP WITH THIS?
LAST NIGHT. I DIDN'T LIKE
WHAT HAPPENED EITHER.
[Detention Teacher]
GET THAT BIKE OFF THE GRASS!
[Sandra] MOTHER,
I HAVE A WHOLE NEW LIFE HERE.
I DON'T WANT HIM
TO HAVE THIS PHONE NUMBER!
BECAUSE I DON'T WANT TO TALK TO HIM.
THAT'S WHY!
GOD, MOM! I JUST NEED SOME TIME TO THINK,
YOU KNOW.
[Knock At Door] MOM, I GOTTA GO.
THERE'S SOMEBODY AT MY DOOR.
OKAY, I'LL THINK ABOUT IT.
I LOVE YOU TOO. BYE.
[Groans, Sighs]
HOW'D YOU GUYS FIND ME?
THE TOWN'S
NOT THAT BIG.
YOU DRESSED, EH?
WE AIN'T GONNA BEAT YOU UP.
AREN'T GOING TO BEAT ME UP.
COOL PLACE!
THAT'S NICE STUFF!
[Sandra] SO
WHAT'S UP? YOU LIVE OUT OF BOXES,
MISS TEACH?
I WASN'T EXACTLY SURE I WAS GOING TO STAY.
NOW, WHAT DO YOU WANT?
SO, THIS IS MR. TEACH, EH?
HE MUST'VE DONE SOMETHING BAD, HUH?
IS SOMEBODY GONNA TELL ME
EXACTLY WHY YOU'RE HERE?
OUR SCIENCE PROJECT.
THIS IS REALLY
IMPRESSIVE, DANIEL.
BUT YOU'RE A LITTLE TOO LATE.
THE RACE IS ONLY A COUPLE MONTHS AWAY.
WE STILL THINK WE CAN DO IT.
WE'RE GONNA DO IT, CREDIT OR NO CREDIT.
'CAUSE WE WANNA KICK BUTT.
YUP.
WELL, I THINK I'VE SEEN JUST ABOUT ENOUGH OF THAT ALREADY.
SORRY.
[Sighs] NOW, GUYS,
A SKETCH IS ONE THING
BUT WE'RE TALKING ABOUT BUILDING A CAR FROM THE GROUND UP.
I KNOW CARS, TEACH.
I KNOW FIBERGLASS.
ME? THE WHEEL MAN.
AND I--
SHE'LL THINK OF SOMETHING, EH?
GILBERT.
I, I JUST KNOW COMPUTERS.
THAT'S IT.
HE'S A WHIZ. TELL HER, CHO.
I AM.
HE IS.
SUTCLIFFE ACADEMY HAD WHAT?
TWENTY GUYS?
THERE'S ONLY SIX OF YOU.
UNI!
SHE'S SHY,
BUT SHE AIN'T NOLOLO.
SHE'S IN X-RATED MATH TOO.
RIGHT, UNI?
ACCELERATED MATH. HI.
OH, WHATEVER.
[Daniel] THAT'S SEVEN.
I THINK I CAN GET ONE MORE.
COME ON.
ALL WE'RE ASKING FOR IS A CHANCE.
[Sighs]
OOH. I'M GONNA HAVE TO FILL OUT
GRANT FORMS
ANDALLKINDS
OFPAPERS.
OKAY, THIS IS CRAZY.
BUTOKAY.
LETMETELLYOUSOMETHING.
ONCE WE START THIS THING,
WE SEE IT THROUGH, AND I WANT IT IN WRITING.
I WANT A SCHEDULE WITH EVERYBODY'S OBJECTIVES ON IT.
YOUR SPECIFIC DUTIES.
YOU UNDERSTAND?
ALL RIGHT.
NOW, GET OUTTA HERE BEFORE I CHANGE MY MIND.
[Oni]
CAN'T BELIEVE SHE WENT FOR IT.
CAN I GET ONE MORE OF THESE TO GO?
OUT!
[Ed]
YOU DID WHAT?
I QUIT MY JOB.
THEN JUST GO AND BEG FOR IT BACK.
ED!
NO, I'M SERIOUS.
I'M NOT GOING TO INDULGE EVERY WHIM
THAT POPS INTO THIS KID'S HEAD.
SURFBOARDS, SOLAR CARS!
AND STOP PLAYING WITH YOUR FOOD.
FINE.
WHAT'S THE MATTER
WITH YOU?
IT'S A SCHOOL PROJECT, ED.
CAN'T YOU ENCOURAGE HIM FOR ONCE?
YEAH, REALLY, ED.
IT WOULDN'T KILL YOU TO SAY SOMETHING NICE.
NOW LOOK WHO'S GIVING ME
ADVICE!
[Chuckling]
THISFAMILYSTINKS!
GOD! YOUR DAD IS TOXIC,
YOU KNOW THAT?
LET ME SEE.
YOU'RE ACTUALLY GONNA BUILD THIS THING AND GET CREDIT FOR IT?
I WAS GONNA ASK
IF YOU WANTED IN.
WE COULD USE ANOTHER PERSON,
YOU COULD USE A PASSING GRADE.
NO.
I'M BAGGIN' SCHOOL ANYWAY.
THE SECOND I TURN 18,
I'M SO OUTTA HERE.
I THOUGHT YOU COULDN'T GET YOUR
TRUST FUND UNLESS YOU GRADUATED.
SO?
WHEN MY REAL DAD FINDS OUT WHAT I HAVE TO PUT UP WITH HERE,
BELIEVE ME,
HE'LL GIVE IT TO ME.
[Ed] HE'S MY SON,
AND I KNOW WHAT HE CAN DO AND WHAT HE CAN'T DO.
BUT HE'D BETTER START WORKING FOR
A LIVING BECAUSE HE'S NO EINSTEIN!
WHAT A DORK!
WHAT DO YOU SAY, CIN?
YOU IN OR OUT HERE? SHE'S OUT!
NOW GET BACK IN HERE AND FINISH EATING,
BOTH OF YOU!
I'M IN.
[Laughs]
[Sandra Teaching,
Indistinct]
ALL RIGHT,
WE NEED MATERIALS.
[Together] NO!
TOO BIG!
NO!
A BETTER PLACE TO WORK.
[Giggling]
[Sandra]
A NEW SET OF BLUEPRINTS.
NOW THE SUN SHINES
ON THE SOLAR PANELS
WHICH THEN TRICKLES ITS WAY DOWN
INTO THE BATTERIES.
[Electricity Crackling]
WHICH THEN PUSHES ITS WAY TO THE CONTROL BOX,
THROUGH TO THE MOTOR.
[Whirring] [Sandra] TO THE RIGHT FRONT
DOWN TO THE WHEELS WHICH TURN,
WHICH MAKE THE CAR GO.
SIMPLE, RIGHT?
AGH!
[Daniel]
I DON'T KNOW.
WHOA!
[Oni] WHAT'S WRONG WITH IT? NOBODY COULD BUILD THIS THING.
YOU'RE DREAMING HERE, DANIEL.
YOU COME UP WITH SOMETHING.
COME ON, IT'S NOT THE DESIGN.
WE PUT IT TOGETHER WRONG?
FOUR WEEKS LEFT. WE'RE NEVER GONNA MAKE IT.
READY FOR SOME GOOD NEWS?
THIS IS A BILL OF LADING AND THIS IS A CHECK
FROM THE U.S. DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY.
OUR SOLAR PANELS
ARE ON THEIR WAY.
[Gasps] OUR SOLAR PANELS ARE ON THE WAY.
LET'S HAVE ONE BIG HUG, EH?
WHAT? OKAY!
SO, IT'S NOT PERFECT,
BUT IT'S A START.
COME ON, GILBERT.
[Sandra] GUYS?
IF YOU'RE GONNA FLUNK ANYBODY,
FLUNK ME.
I'M THE ONE WHO BLEW IT.
OKAY, MR. MACHI,
I'M GONNA MAKE THIS BRIEF.
I'VE GOT $10,000 WORTH OF SOLAR PANELS ON
THEIR WAY HERE AND NO CAR TO PUT THEM ON.
AND EXACTLY FOUR WEEKS TO DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT,
AND I NEED YOUR EXPERTISE.
SOUNDS GREAT.
NO, THANKS.
I'M GONNA HANDLE THE PAPERWORK
MYSELF, ALL THE DETAILS.
ALL I NEED YOU TO DO, ALL THEY NEED YOU TO DO,
IS HELP THEM GET THIS CAR READY.
YOU DIDN'T HEAR ME, MS. BEECHER.
I'M NOT INTERESTED IN YOUR LITTLE PROJECT.
YOU ARE A TEACHER HERE,
AREN'T YOU?
COME HERE.
LOOK AROUND.
YOU SEE ALL THIS?
EVERY FALL THEY DRAG THIS CRAP IN HERE,
SAYING HOW THEY'RE GONNA FIX THINGS UP.
AND EVERY SUMMER,
I CALL THE SCRAP YARD AND HAVE THEM HAUL IT ALL AWAY.
THEY'RE QUITTERS,
THAT'S ALL.
THEYDON'TFINISHANYTHING,
EVER.
WHICH IS JUST WHAT YOU'RE FINDING OUT,
AND WHY I DIDN'T GET INVOLVED IN THE FIRST PLACE.
THEY'RE KIDS. THEY NEED HELP.
THEY NEED OUR HELP.
THEY'RE LOLOS, LADY.
AND WHAT THEY DON'T NEED
IS ANOTHER LESSON IN FAILING.
THAT'S ALL THEY KNOW, ALL THEY HEAR AT HOME,
AND ALL THEY EXPECT FROM THEMSELVES.
DO YOU KNOW WHAT THAT GETS THEM?
FIVE BUCKS AN HOUR
CLEANINGUP
AFTERTOURISTS.
LOOK
YOU SEEM LIKE
A NICE LADY.
I'M SURE YOU MEAN WELL.
YOU'RE SETTING THEM UP TO HAVE THEIR HEARTS STOMPED,
AND I'M NOT GONNA HELP YOU DO THAT.
[Glass Shattering]
WELL, IT LOOKS LIKE WE'VE GOT
A LITTLE PROBLEM HERE, HUH?
I'M NOT QUITTING.
GILBERT, COME ON.
I'M NOT GETTING OUT.
GO ON.
I'LL HANDLE THIS.
JUST STAY RIGHT THERE, GILBERT.
DON'T MOVE.
STAY IN THAT CAR
AS LONG AS YOU WANT.
[KnockAtDoor]
I, UH --
I HEARD ABOUT YOUR PROJECT.
SORRY IT DIDN'T PAN OUT.
HEY, UH, LISTEN.
THERE'S A PART-TIME JOB
AT THE PALMS.
BANQUET FACILITIES.
DO YOU WANT ME TO PUT YOUR NAME IN?
WHATEVER.
I KNOW YOU'RE DISAPPOINTED,
BUT YOU'LL FIND ANOTHER HOBBY.
IT WASN'T A HOBBY, DAD.
IT'S JUST THAT I'M NOT THAT GOOD
AT A LOT OF THINGS, DAD.
LIKE SCHOOL,
FOR INSTANCE.
I WAS THE SAME WAY.
BUT WITH DESIGNING,
IT'S DIFFERENT.
I SEE THINGS.
IT'S CLEAR TO ME,
YOU KNOW?
AND I'M GOOD AT IT.
I MEAN, I COULD BE.
YOU CAN'T ALWAYS DO
WHAT YOU WANT TO DO, DANIEL.
SOMETIMES YOU'VE JUST GOTTA
DO WHAT'S THERE.
TRY TO GET SOME SLEEP,
HUH?
THAT'S PERFECT.

[Mrs. Chang]
IF THERE'S NO FURTHER BUSINESS--
WAIT. JUST ONE MORE THING.
I'LL MAKE THIS BRIEF. [Sighing]
I DON'T KNOW IF YOU ALL
ARE AWARE OF THIS,
BUT MY KIDS JUST COMPLETED WORK
ON THEIR SOLAR CAR
AND THEY'RE GOING
TO BE RACING IT THIS WEEKEND.
HOW CAN WE HELP YOU?
THE PROBLEM IS,
IT'S NOT EXACTLY A PROBLEM
BUT IF WE WIN THE RACE,
THEN WE GO ON TO AUSTRALIA.
AND BECAUSE THIS IS A SCHOOL-SPONSORED EVENT,
I JUST REALIZED
THAT I'M GOING TO NEED
ANOTHER CHAPERONE.
SPECIFICALLY,
A MALE CHAPERONE.
ANY VOLUNTEERS?
SEE AUSTRALIA?
WITHAPACK OFWOLVES?
[TeachersLaughing]
HOW ABOUT YOU, FRANK? MS.
BEECHER AND I HAVE HAD OUR CHAT. SHE KNOWS HOW I FEEL.
MM-HMM.
AND YOU WERE WRONG.
MY KIDS DIDN'T QUIT.
WELL, JOAN OF ARC WOULDN'T LET THEM.
[Laughing]
OKAY, FRANK, IF YOU'RE SO SURE
THEY'RE GONNA LOSE,
WHY DON'T YOU SIGN THE PAPER,
OR ARE YOU AFRAID YOU'RE GONNA BE WRONG AGAIN?
[Chuckling]
I'LL SIGN IT.
JUST BECAUSE
I WANT EVERYONE TO KNOW
THAT IT WAS YOUR IDEA.
BAD IDEA.
YOUR IDEA.
THANK YOU.
HEY, WHAT ARE YOU DOING?
WE GOT A RACE TODAY.
[P.A. Announcer]
FIVE MINUTES TO RACE TIME.
FIVE MINUTES TO RACE TIME.
DRIVERS, PREPARE TO TAKE
YOUR VEHICLES.
ALL OTHER TEAM MEMBERS
MUST BE SAFELY OFF THE TRACK
AND IN THEIR DESIGNATED AREAS
BEFORE THE START OF THE RACE.
THE FIRST TEAM TO COMPLETE
THE REQUIRED 100 LAPS
WILL BE DECLARED THE WINNER
AND GO ON TO COMPETE--
I DON'T BELIEVE THIS.
WHERE ARE THEY?
[HornHonking,
KidsCheering]
HERE WE COME!
WHAT THE HECK IS THAT?
JUST ANOTHER LOCAL ENTRY, SIR.
NOTHING TO WORRY ABOUT.
GET IT OUT OF THE TRUCK.
ABOUT TIME, YOU GUYS.
WHERE HAVE YOU BEEN?
DANIEL HAD AN IDEA.
PUT IN AN EXTRA BATTERY.
THAT'S 30 MORE POUNDS.
WE'LL NEED IT WHEN IT CLOUDS OVER.
WHAT CLOUDS?
BY THIS AFTERNOON IT'LL BE FULL OF CLOUDS.
DANIEL KNOWS THE SKY.
THAT'S BULL.
LET'S TAKE IT OUT.
THERE'S NO TIME FOR THAT.
WE'VE GOTTA GET IT TO THE START LINE. LET'S GO.
WHERE'D YOU GET
THE EXTRA BATTERY?
[Engine Sputters,
Dies]
DANIEL!
ONI, YOU'RE FIRST.
SHOW 'EM WHAT WE CAN DO. LET'S GO!
AH, SH-- C'MON, GET IT OUTTA HERE.
WE'LL RUN WITHOUT IT. MOVE.
[P.A.] ALL VEHICLES MUST TAKE
THEIR STARTING POSITIONS
OR FACE DISQUALIFICATION.
TESTING, TESTING. CAN YOU HEAR ME?
CAN YOU HEAR ME, ONI?
YEAH, YEAH. HOW DO I LOOK, EH?
ONI, COME ON, CONCENTRATE.
YOU LOOK GREAT, ALL RIGHT?
YELLOW.
NICE COLOR.
DON'T, BRAZ.
LEAVE IT ALONE.
[P.A.] CONTESTANTS, READY.
COME ON, LET'S GO.
SET!
LADIES AND GENTLEMEN,
THE HAWAII SOLAR
INVITATION ONE HUNDRED
IS UNDERWAY!
[Cheering]
LET'S GO, ONI!
** [Hawaiian Music]
HEY, MACHI!
HEY, FRANK!
MACHI!
NO, LIKE THIS, MISS TEACH.
YES.
[Cackling]
GOD, THIS IS PATHETIC!
ONI, WHAT'S WRONG?
CAN'T YOU GO FASTER?
I'M TRYING. SHE DON'T GO.
DANIEL, WHEN YOU GUYS PUT IN THE BATTERY,
WHO TIGHTENED THE TERMINALS?
MARCO DID. NO, I DIDN'T.
YOU DID, DIDN'T YOU?
[Together]
WE GOT NO BATTERIES!
ONI! ONI, COME ON!
PULL IN!
[Laughing]
ONI, COME ON!
[Cheering]
[P.A.]
LAP 27.
WE HAVE SUTCLIFFE ACADEMY
STILL IN THE LEAD.
PUNA HIGH OF HONOLULU
TWO LAPS BACK.
[Snores]
OH, GROW UP.
[P.A.] ACCIDENT ON THE FIELD.
PLEASE, STAY OFF THE TRACK.
SO, HOW FAR
IS AUSTRALIA?
OH, ABOUT 45 LAPS.
HEY DANIEL, NEXT TIME YOU TALK
TO YOUR LITTLE CLOUD FRIENDS,
TELL THEM THEY SCREWED US
BIG TIME.
LET'S PUT IN MARCO.
HE'S THE BEST DRIVER. FORGET IT.
THE CAR'S TOO HEAVY.
NO WAY WE'RE GONNA CATCH 'EM NOW.
NOT NECESSARILY.
OUR BATTERIES ARE FRESHER BY ALMOST HALF. SO?
THEY'RE TOTALLY DEPENDENT ON THE
SUN FOR POWER NOW AND WE'RE NOT.
SO, IF DANIEL'S RIGHT,
THEN--
PIT STOP! LET'S GO!
MARCO, YOU'RE UP!
LET'S WASH THE PANELS. THE CLEANER THEY ARE,
THE FASTER WE GO. COME ON!
[P.A.]
AND HERE COMES COCKROACH!
IT'S COCKROACH
NOW MAKING A MOVE.
* ROCK YOU LIKE A HURRICANE *
* ROCK YOU LIKE A HURRICANE *
BRING IT IN!
JUST BRING IT IN!
I DON'T CARE WHAT THE GAUGES SAY.
THEY'RE GAINING ON US!
WHY ARE YOU LETTING UP? WE'RE LOW ON JUICE.
JUST FOLLOW THE GAME PLAN.
WHAT DO YOU THINK YOU'RE DOIN'?
I'M PUTTING THOSE LOLOS AWAY.
[P.A.] WE'RE IN THE FINAL QUARTER OF OUR RACE,
WITH SUTCLIFFE ACADEMY
STILL LEADING THE FIELD,
BUT COCKROACH BEGINNING TO CLOSE THE GAP.
JUST BECAUSE YOUR FATHER BUILT THIS CAR,
YOU ARE NOT IN CHARGE HERE!
GET OUT OF THE WAY! COME ON,
HURRY UP! GIMME A WALKIE-TALKIE.
GET OUTTA THERE. SEE?
GIMME THE WALKIE--
LISTEN TO ME WHEN YOU'RE GOING AROUND.
STICK TO THE PLAN.
SIT BACK AND WATCH THE RACE.
STICK TO THE PLAN!
GET OUT OF THE WAY!
* HERE I AM *
* ROCK YOU LIKE A HURRICANE *
* THE NIGHT IS CALLING
I HAVE TO GO *
* THE WOLF IS HUNGRY
HE RUNS THE SHOW *
* HE'S LICKING HIS LIPS
HE'S READY TO WIN *
[Shouting, Cheering]
I'M LOSING POWER!
WHAT'S GOIN' ON?
COME ON!
COME ON!
* HERE I AM *
* ROCK YOU LIKE A HURRICANE *
* HERE I AM **
WHAT'S GOING ON HERE, FRYMAN?
I DON'T KNOW.
[P.A.] DOWN TO TWO CARS,
AS COCKROACH CONTINUES TO NARROW SUN DOG'S LEAD.
[Radford] LISTEN TO ME, STEVEN,
AND LISTEN GOOD.
FOLLOW MY GAME PLAN.
COME ON!
WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU DOIN'?
LAY OFF THE PEDAL! YOU'RE GONNA DRAIN IT!
SHUT UP!
[P.A.] HERE WE GO INTO THE FINAL ONE HUNDREDTH LAP.
SUTCLIFFE ACADEMY STILL LEADING KONA-PALI BY ONE.
COME ON!
WHOO!
[Electricity Crackling]
HUH? WHAT THE--
ONE MORE!
ONE MORE!
COME ON!
COME ON!
[Groaning]
[Yelling]
GO, MARCO! COME ON!
COME ON!
HOLD ON, MARCO!
[P.A.]
KONA-PALI HAS WON THE RACE!
YES!
KONA! KONA!
YES!
[Screams]
DAD, THIS ISN'T FAIR! COME ON,
THEY CAN'T WIN! STEVE.
WE'RE SUPPOSED TO GO TO AUSTRALIA!
GIVE ME YOUR JACKET.
[Man] OUR ENGINEERS PRACTICALLY BUILT THE SUTCLIFFE CAR.
THAT'S WHAT MY MONEY WAS MEANT TO SPONSOR.
THEY WON EVEN USING OUR SOLAR CELLS.
I KNOW.
WE'RE GONNA HAVE TO PUT A LITTLE SPIN ON THIS.
I HAVE GOT $60 MILLION IN GOVERNMENT
CONTRACTS WAITING TO CLEAR CONGRESS.
THAT IS A LOT OF SOLAR CELLS,
AND I AM NOT RISKING CELTECH'S REPUTATION
OR MY FORTUNE,
ON A BUNCH OF KIDS IN A YELLOW GO-CART.
WE SAID WE'D SPONSOR AND WE CAN'T RENEGE ON THIS.
IT'S PART OF THE U.S. PACKAGE.
I DON'T WANT TO KNOW ABOUT IT.
I JUST WANT IT FIXED.
TELL US ABOUT YOUR STRATEGY,
THIS DOUBLE BATTERY IDEA.
ASK DANIEL.
HE'S THE ONE WHO CAME UP WITH THE WHOLE IDEA.
DANIEL, YOU THE MAN!
GOOD CALL, MAN!
EXCUSE ME. ALL RIGHT.
ALL RIGHT! THE KONA-PALI TEAM.
IT'S AN AMAZING EFFORT.
IT'S JUST GREAT.
DIDN'T QUITE TURN OUT THE WAY
I THOUGHT IT WOULD,
BUT WE ARE YOUR SPONSORS,
SO LET'S PUT OUR JACKET AROUND YOU HERE.
GIVE HIM ROOM FOR PHOTOGRAPHS.
ALL RIGHT?
MOST OF YOU KNOW
THAT THE TOP
U.S. ENTRIES IN THIS YEAR'S
WORLD SOLAR CHALLENGE
ARE RUN BY CELTECH'S FAMED
ZIGON SOLAR CELLS.
WE WOULD LIKE YOU,
OUR ONLY HIGH SCHOOL TEAM,
TO HAVE THAT SAME ADVANTAGE,
ALL RIGHT?
THAT MEANS WE'RE GONNA BE RETROFITTING
YOUR PANELS AND OVERALL DESIGN.
YOU MEAN, REBUILD THE CAR?
WAIT A MINUTE!
NO, OUR TECHNICIANS
CAN DO WONDERS.
NO, WE DON'T NEED YOUR HELP
OR YOUR SOLAR CELLS.
JUST GIVE US OUR PLANE TICKETS AND GET OUT OF THE WAY, MAN.
YO, BRAHS.
MAYBE HE'S RIGHT.
IF WE'RE GONNA COMPETE--
NO, DANIEL. THIS IS OUR CAR, THE WAY WE BUILT IT,
THE WAY US ANIMALS BUILT IT.
SO GIVE HIM BACK HIS JACKET AND LET'S GO.
[Oni] RIGHT!
[Marco]
YEAH, LET'S GO.
KONARULES!
AUSTRALIA!
ALL RIGHT,
HERE WE COME!
[Sandra]
MR. MACHI!
FRANK!
WHERE DO YOU THINK YOU'RE GOING?
HOME TO PACK.
DO YOU KNOW THERE ARE MORE POISONOUS SNAKES
IN AUSTRALIA THAN ANY COUNTRY IN THE WORLD?
THEN REMIND ME TO ZIP UP MY TENT.
TENT?
NO TENT.
* TRAVELING IN
A FRIED-OUT KOMBIE *
* ON A HIPPIE TRAIL

LOOK AT THAT, EH? LOOK AT THAT
COOL ONE OVER THERE.
WHAT ARE WE DOING HERE?
[Sandra] WE CAME HERE TO RACE JUST LIKE EVERYBODY ELSE.
CAN WE EAT FIRST, PLEASE?
HOW THEY GET SO MANY KIND OF
BUGS HERE ANYWAY?
ONI, IF YOU DON'T STOP COMPLAINING-- I WANNA EAT!
NO I WANNA GO TO THE BATHROOM,
THEN EAT, THEN SHOWER.
THEN I'M GONNA MURDER YOU.
ALL RIGHT, ALL RIGHT, ALL RIGHT,
EVERYBODY.
WELL, MS. BEECHER?
FIRST WE'RE GONNA SPLIT UP.
YOU'RE GONNA TAKE THE BOYS AND GET THE VAN AND TRAILER.
THE GIRLS ARE GONNA COME WITH ME AND GET THE WINNEBAGO,
AND WE'RE GONNA MEET WHERE WE STARTED.
COME ON, GIRLS.
LET'S GO.
GILBERT, HAVE YOU SEEN
ANY KOALAS OR KANGAROOS YET?
WHEW. I'M STUCK.
[P.A.] WILL THE ITALIAN TEAM'S DRIVERS
REPORT TO THE WEIGH-IN STATION?
THERE YOU GO.
[P.A.] NOW ARRIVING,
THE REIGNING WORLD SOLAR CHAMPIONS, HANS KOOIMAN,
THE EURO-TEAM AND FELIX "X."
WHAT ARE WE DOING HERE?
[Excited Chatting]
HANS!
HANS KOOIMAN!
HANS, YOU'VE DRAWN
A LATE GRID POSITION.
ARE YOU WORRIED AT ALL
ABOUT YOUR CHANCES?
WHY SHOULD I WORRY?
EVERYONE KNOWS WE ARE THE BEST. DON'T THEY?
HA-HA.
THANK YOU.
YOU SURE YOU'RE A DRIVER,
LOVE?
ALTERNATE.
WE'VE GOT OUR VEHICLES.
WE'VE GOT OUR GRID POSITION.
NUMBER 12. NOT A BAD DRAW.
VEHICLE'S CHECKED IN.
OH, AND A CAPTAIN.
WE NEED TO PICK A CAPTAIN.
I NOMINATE DANIEL WEBSTER.
IT WAS HIS DESIGN.
I DON'T KNOW.
[Marco] YEAH, BROTHER.
YOU GOT US HERE WITH YOUR EXTRA BATTERY AND EVERYTHING, EH?
OKAY? IS THAT ALL RIGHT
WITH EVERYBODY?
DON'T MEAN NOTHIN' TO ME.
DOESN'T MEAN ANYTHING TO YOU.
NOW, IF I COULD JUST SAY
A FEW WORDS. FIRST OF ALL,
I WANT YOU ALL TO KNOW
HOW PROUD I AM.
TO ME, NO MATTER WHAT HAPPENS,
WIN OR LOSE-- HOLD IT.
I DIDN'T COME HERE TO LOSE.
WHO CAME HERE TO LOSE?
[Grumbling] I DIDN'T MEAN LOSE.
I DIDN'T MEAN LOSE, OKAY?
FRANK?
HMM?
ISN'T THERE SOMETHING
YOU WANT TO SAY
TO THE KIDS
BEFORE THE BIG RACE?
NO.
[Announcer Speaking
In Spanish]
[Continues In Spanish]
THE CAR WE BUILT REACHES
85 KILOMETERS PER HOUR,
WHICH IS ABOUT 55 MILES PER HOUR
WHERE I COME FROM.
[Italian]
[Russian]
[French]
THE START OF
THE WORLD SOLAR CHALLENGE,
A 2,000 MILE
TRANSCONTINENTAL SPRINT
OVER A TWO-LANE HIGHWAY AND SOME OF
THE HARSHEST TERRAIN IN THE WORLD.
THEY'VE COME FROM ALL CORNERS:
SOME 40 UNIVERSITIES
AND COLLEGES, THINK TANKS
AND CORPORATE GIANTS.
AND THEY'VE COME TO WIN
THIS SIX-DAY RACE.
THIS IS JUDD POTTER REPORTING.
COME ON, KONA,
DON'T HOLD US UP.
LET'S GO, MARCO.
KONA, RUN A GOOD, CLEAN RACE.
IF YOU SCREW UP,
YOU'LL BE WATCHING IT ON TELLY.
IT'S GONNA BE HOT OUT THERE,
SO KEEP A CLOSE EYE ON YOUR DRIVERS.
WHATEVER YOU DO,
DON'T MISS THE ROAD TRAINS.
ALL RIGHT?
ANY QUESTIONS?
UH, YEAH.
WHAT'S A ROAD TRAIN?
YOU'RE JOKING, RIGHT?
[Laughing] JOKING, YEAH.
YES, SIR.
GOOD LUCK, MARCO.
[P.A. Announcer] LADIES AND GENTLEMEN,
RACE FANS,
THE TIME HAS COME.
DRIVERS,
START YOUR SOLAR PANELS.
[Cheering]
GOOD LUCK, YOU GUYS!
LOOK AT THAT ONE!
WAY TO GO, MARCO!
[Laughing]
SHUT IT OFF! SHUT IT OFF!
WHATHAPPENED, MAN?
GET THE CHILDREN
OFF THE ROAD!
I'M WITH THE SUPPORT CREW.
EXCUSE ME. THANK YOU.
MOVE HIM!
OVER ON THE SIDE!
WHAT HAVE WE GOT? BUSTED BALL JOINT.
YOU GUYS GET IN HERE.
HOLD IT.
WE'RE THE TEAM!
IT'S OUR CAR.
EXCUSE ME.
[Hans] WE HAVE 3,000 "K's" TO GO!
DANIEL,
WHAT IS GOING ON HERE?
EITHER GET THIS CAR GOING
OR GET IT OUT OF HERE.
WHAT DO YOU MEAN,
GET IT OUT OF HERE?
IS THERE A PROBLEM? YES, THE CAR.
THE CAR IS A PROBLEM.
IT IS AN EMBARRASSMENT
TO THE ENTIRE U.S. EFFORT.
EITHER GET THIS CAR RUNNING,
OR PACK YOUR BAGS AND GO HOME.
WHO ARE YOU AGAIN?
WHO ARE YOU?
I'M THE SHOP TEACHER.
UNFORTUNATELY, I'M YOUR SPONSOR.
AND IF THERE'S ONE MORE SCREW-UP OUT OF YOUR TEAM,
I WILL REVOKE YOUR ELIGIBILITY.
DO YOU UNDERSTAND ME? YEAH.
NOW LET ME TELL YOU SOMETHING.
WE'RE GONNA RUN IN THIS RACE WITH OR
WITHOUT YOUR SO-CALLED SPONSORSHIP.
YOU LISTEN TO ME-- AND IF I SEE YOU TOUCH ONE OF MY KIDS AGAIN,
I'M GONNA PERSONALLY REVOKE
BOTH YOUR LEGS.
WHAT WAS THAT ALL ABOUT?
UH, TECHNICAL STUFF.
DANNY? [Hans] COMEON!
GETTHEMOFFTHETRACK.
MOVE IT! GOD!
[Judd Potter] AND HERE COMES THE PACK NOW,
ABSOLUTELY FLYING DOWN THE STUART HIGHWAY.
U.S. CELTECH AND SOLAR FLARE
HAVE TAKEN COMMAND
OF THIS FIELD, AT WHAT SEEMS
TO BE A RECORD-SETTING PACE.
THE HIGH SCHOOL KIDS FROM HAWAII WHO
BROKE DOWN AT THE START ARE IN LAST PLACE.
LET'S CHECK THE LEADER BOARD AND SEE HOW
THE REST OF THE COMPETITORS ARE DOING.
YOU CAN DO WHAT YOU LIKE WITH YOUR CAR DURING OFF HOURS
SO LONG AS IT'S NOT A HAIR PAST THIS LINE
COME START TIME TOMORROW. QUESTIONS?
YEAH.
HOW FAR ARE WE BEHIND?
HARD TO SAY. THEY'RE A WEE BIT
OUT OF RADIO RANGE JUST NOW.
[Sighing]
HEY!
DON'T BE DISCOURAGED.
THAT OLD STUART HIGHWAY HAS A WAY OF EVENING THINGS OUT.
OUT OF 42 STARTERS,
WE'VE ALREADY GOT FIVE FALLEN BY THE WAY.
LIKE I SAY,
IT'S A ROUGH HIGHWAY.

OH, THANK GOD.

I SHOULD'VE LOOKED THAT ONE UP.
[All Laughing]
[Judd]
AFTER JUST TWO DAYS OF RACING,
A FREAK DUST STORM HAS SIMPLY
DECIMATED THE FIELD,
WITH SCORES OF CARS
REPORTEDLY DAMAGED OR DESTROYED.
U.S. CELTECH CONTINUES
ITS COMMANDING LEAD
WITH THE REST OF THE FIELD LITERALLY
SPREAD OUT OVER HUNDREDS OF KILOMETERS.
[Braz]
EURO - TEAM! HEY!

[Gilbert] DO YOU THINK WE'LL WIN THE RACE,
MR. MACHI?
LET'S JUST GET THROUGH
THE DAY, GILBERT.
[Sandra] YOU SURE IT'S SAFE OUT HERE?
I MEAN, THE KIDS?
WHAT IF THERE'S ANIMALS?
THE ANIMALS WILL JUST HAVE TO FEND FOR THEMSELVES,
WON'T THEY?
[Laughs]
I GUESS SO.
YOU KNOW, FRANK,
I REALLY ADMIRE
THE WAY YOU HANDLE THEM.
YOU MUST HAVE A FEW OF YOUR OWN,
DON'T YOU?
NOPE. NEVER HAPPEN.
NEVER MARRIED?
BETWEEN. YOU?
RECOVERY. STAGE ONE.
OH.
THAT EXPLAINS THE RING.
SO HOW'D YOU END UP
AT KONA?
WELL, I WAS 22,

WHEN WE STARTED, I'D SAY
TEAM WITH BEST TECHNOLOGY.
NOW I JUST THINK
TEAM WITH MOST GUTS.
THAT WOULD BE? AS I ALWAYS SAY,
THE EUROPEANS--
IT'S THE HIGH SCHOOL KIDS
FROM KONA.
CORRECTION, CORRECTION.
THERE ARE 17 CARS STILL COMPETING IN THIS RACE.
HERE THEY COME NOW,
THE HAWAIIANS.
[Cheering, Laughing]
CAN WE HAVE A SPOKESMAN HERE?
HOW ABOUT A SPOKESWOMAN?
LUANA! IT'S LUANA!
WE KNOW WE'RE NOT THE MOST EXPERIENCED
TEAM OR THE BRIGHTEST OR BEST,
BUT IT DOESN'T MEAN WE SHOULDN'T BE ALOHA!
TAKEN SERIOUSLY!
[Crowd Cheering]
ALOHA!
MORE PICTURES!
AND THAT,
MR. COMMISSIONER,
IS WHAT WE'RE SHOWING THE WORLD
ABOUT THE FUTURE OF SOLAR TECHNOLOGY.
[Marco] WHO PUT THIS STUFF ON MY SIDE, HUH?
WHAT'S THIS?
THAT'S MINE, MARCO.
YEAH, RIGHT.
THIS IS FOR DRIVERS, CHO.
WHAT, YOU THINK YOU DRIVER NOW?
I MIGHT BE.
IN YOUR DREAMS, FATTY.
HEY UNI, SEE IF YOU CAN FIND ME
ON THE TV, EH?
UNI, CAN YOU HEAR ME?
OKAY, JUST A SECOND.
COME ON, I THOUGHT YOU WERE
SUPPOSED TO BE SMART.
WHY DO YOU LET HER BOSS YOU

WELL, SHE'S MY FRIEND.
OH, GET REAL. ALL SHE DOES IS
COMPLAIN. SHE'S PATHETIC.
SHUT UP, HAOLE.

**
UNI,
DO YOU WANT TO DANCE?
TO BE HONEST WITH YOU,
I REALLY DON'T.
ME, NEITHER.
A FLICK OF THE BATTERY SWITCH,
AND YOU COULD WRITE YOUR OWN TICKET.
WHY ARE YOU DOING THIS?
'CAUSE YOU DON'T BELONG HERE AND I THINK YOU KNOW THAT.
WE'RE DOIN' ALL RIGHT.
NAH, THIS IS A WORLD-CLASS EVENT AND YOU'RE
TURNING IT INTO A HIGH SCHOOL SCIENCE PROJECT.
LOOK AT THE BIGGER PICTURE.
TAKE ADVANTAGE OF YOUR OPPORTUNITY.
MAKE SOMETHING OF YOURSELF!
WHAT DO THEY CALL YOU GUYS
IN KONA?
THE "LULUS"? NO, NO, NO.
WHAT IS IT? THE--
LOLOS. LOLOS.
THATMEANSSTUPID, RIGHT?
DON'T BE STUPID.
BE SMART.
I'M COUNTIN' ON YOU.
COME ON, BRAZ.
LET'S GO.
WHAT'S HE TALKING TO HIM FOR?
IT DOESN'T MATTER.
CINDY!
HEY!
LOOK AT THAT.
CINDY'S ALL OVER.
CINDY, WHAT'S WRONG?
YOU'RE ALL OVER THE ROAD. IS IT THE STEERING?
AH, NO.
I THINK IT'S JUST ME.
I DON'T REALLY FEEL
TOO GOOD.
ALL RIGHT, BRING IT IN.
[Braz] COME ON, YOU GUYS,
WE'RE GETTING KILLED!
EVERYBODY, LET'S STAY AWAY FROM CINDY.
I DON'T WANT ANYBODY ELSE GETTIN' SICK.
CINDY,
I GOTTA TALK TO YOU.
* THIS IS OUR TIME TO STAND *
* THIS IS OUR LAND *
* THIS IS OUR TIME TO STAND *
* THIS IS OUR LAND *
** [Singing Continues]
**
[Frank] IF EVERYONE'S AGREED,
THEN THAT'S WHAT WE'VE DECIDED.
WHERE ARE WE, YOU GUYS?
YOU SHOULD'VE WOKE ME.
WHY DON'T YOU HAVE A SEAT, CINDY?
WE'RE FINISHING UP A TEAM MEETING.
SO, WHAT'S UP
BESIDES MY LUNCH?
WE WERE TALKING ABOUT HOW DANGEROUS THIS RACE COULD BE,
AND HOW IT WOULDN'T BE GOOD IF
ANYBODY ON THE TEAM WERE DRINKING.
UH, WHAT IS THIS,
A TRIAL?
NO, BUT IT IS A SCHOOL-SPONSORED EVENT.
YOU KNOW THE RULES.
YOU DISGUST ME!
DON'T STINK-EYE ME, GIRL.
I DIDN'T SAY NOTHING.
WHO WENT THROUGH MY THINGS? [Sandra] CINDY,
YOU CAN TRAVEL WITH THE TEAM.
BUT WE CAN'T ALLOW YOU TO PARTICIPATE ANY FURTHER.
DO YOU UNDERSTAND?
NO. I ASKED A QUESTION. I WANT TO KNOW WHO
WENT THROUGH MY PERSONAL BELONGINGS? WHO?
I DID.
YOU.
YOU, DANIEL.
FINE.
THANKS.
THANKS VERY MUCH.
HOLD IT.
THEY'LL BE ALL RIGHT.
CINDY!
COME ON, CINDY.
I KNOW YOU'RE IN HERE--
CINDY, DO YOU THINK
I WANTED TO DO THIS?
THEN WHY DID YOU?
BECAUSE
I HATE TO SEE WHAT YOU DO TO YOURSELF.
YOU'RE MY SISTER!
GOD, HERE WE GO, RIGHT?
HERE WE GO WHERE, CINDY? WE LIVE IN THE SAME HOUSE!
IT'S THE SAME FAMILY, RIGHT?
NO! IT'S NOT A FAMILY.
IT NEVER WAS AND IT NEVER WILL BE!
I JUST FIGURED IT OUT.
YOU DON'T WANT TO BE A PART OF ANYTHING.
I WAS A PART OF SOMETHING!
I HAD A DAD AND A MOM.
AND SHE NEVER SHOULD'VE DIVORCED HIM IN THE FIRST PLACE.
CINDY,
YOUR DAD'S A TOTAL JERK.
HE NEVER CALLS YOU.
HE NEVER WRITES.
THAT'S BECAUSE
HE'S BUSY, DANIEL!
WHEN YOU'RE RICH,
YOU'RE BUSY. OKAY?
DANIEL, JUST GO. OKAY?
LEAVE ME ALONE, DANIEL!
[Judd] IT'S DAY FIVE OF THE SIX-DAY
TRANSCONTINENTAL WORLD SOLAR CHALLENGE.
AND THE HEAT IS REALLY BEGINNING
TO TAKE ITS TOLL.
U.S. CELTECH STILL HOLDS ITS 100
KILOMETER LEAD OVER SOLAR FLARE.
THE REST OF THE FIELD THINNING AS
TEMPERATURES CONTINUE TO RISE.
HEY, MISS TEACH,
YOU COLD?
ONI, YOU'RE COLD?
WE'RE DYIN' IN HERE!
YOU FEELIN' ALL RIGHT?
YEAH, I JUST,
JUST A LITTLE BIT COLD.
YOU OKAY? ALL RIGHT.
WON'T BE ANY MORE DRIVING
FOR YOU TODAY.
CAPTAIN? CAPTAIN?
GILBERT'S COME UP WITH AN IDEA HERE.
TELL HIM, GILBERT.
NO, YOU TELL HIM.
OKAY.
[Uni] THE REST OF THE RACE IS FLAT
EXCEPT FOR THAT HILL AT THE FINISH.
SO WHY ARE WE RUNNING A COMPROMISE SIX-TO-TEN GEARING RATIO
WHEN WE COULD JUST SWITCH
TO A BIGGER DRIVE?
SAY AN EIGHT-TO-TEN,
AND GO THAT MUCH FASTER.
TWO HOURS AND SIX MINUTES.
RIGHT, GILBERT? ABOUT.
IT'S YOUR IDEA,
GILBERT?
YEAH!
LET'S DO IT!
I'M LOVIN' IT, BRAH!
THIS COCKROACH IS SLAMMIN'!
[Laughing]
WHOO!
JUST KEEP DRIVING,
MARCO.

MARCO!
[Gautier] ALL RIGHT, HANS.
HANS, ENOUGH!
WE ARE LOSING TIME!
THAT WAS A REALLY DUMB ACCIDENT.
MY FAULT. ALL I CAN SAY IS I'M SORRY.
SORRY?
HANS, LET IT GO.
YOU KNOW WHAT IS SORRY?
YOU, LITTLE COCKROACH, YOU AND THAT TRASH!
IT WAS AN ACCIDENT,
ALL RIGHT?
YEAH. AND TRASH DRAWS FLIES.
LUCKILY I'VE BUG SPRAY.
[Spits]
CALL IT EVEN.
OH, YOU ARE WORSE
THAN BUGS!
[Hans] YOUARECOWARDS!
BRAZ --
I DON'T WANT TO HEAR NOTHING FROM YOU!
I'M SICK OF YOU.
[Frank] TAKEITEASY. NO!
ALLHEDOES ISSCREWTHINGSUP!
SO HE DESIGNED OUR CAR.
BIG DEAL!
I'M THE ONE WHO BUILT IT.
I'M THE ONE WHO KNOWS HOW TO FIX IT.
I'M THE ONE WHO HAS TO FIGHT YOUR FIGHTS.
NOT YOU, HAOLE.
SHUT UP, BRAZ.
IT HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH BEING HAOLE.
OH, YEAH?
I SAW YOU KISSING UP TO THAT CELTECH GUY.
WHATDIDYOUDO?
MAYBEMAKEADEAL, DANNYBOYCAPTAIN?
IS THAT WHAT YOU THINK?
COME ON, BRAZ, YOU'RE WAY OUT OF LINE.
NO! MAYBE HE'S RIGHT.
MAYBE I'M NOT CUT OUT FOR THIS.
YOU WANT IT THAT BAD, BRAZ?
TAKE IT, MAN.
IT'S ALL YOURS.
YOU HEARD HIM.
LET'S GO.
HOW'S SHE DOING?
FEVER'S BROKEN.
BUT I DON'T KNOW ABOUT TOMORROW.
LOOKS LIKE WE'RE DOWN
TO TWO DRIVERS.
ONE MORE DAY, HUH?
HOW'S IT GOING
OUT THERE?
IT'S A LITTLE QUIET.
TOO QUIET, YOU KNOW?
YEAH.
HERE.
I'M SCARED.
WE GOTTA FINISH THIS,
LUANA.
I KNOW.
I KNOW.
[Judd] IT'S THE LAST DAY OF RACING AND HERE'S WHERE WE STAND.
U.S. CELTECH HAS CAMPED
JUST OUTSIDE OF ADELAIDE
READY TO MAKE
ITS FINAL SPRINT TO VICTORY.
RIGHT BEHIND U.S. CELTECH,
SOLAR FLARE
WOULD APPEAR TO HAVE
A LOCK ON SECOND.
AFTER THAT,
THE REAL QUESTION IS WHETHER ANY OF THE REMAINING TEAMS
HAS WHAT IT TAKES TO FINISH THIS GRUELING EVENT.
THREE
TWO ONE,
GO!
[Judd]
WE'RE HERE IN ADELAIDE,
AND WE'RE ABOUT TO HAVE A NEW
WORLD SOLAR CHALLENGE CHAMP.
LET'S GO OUT
AND PICK UP THE ACTION.
[Judd] AND IT'S U.S. CELTECH TAKING ON
THE STEEPEST PART OF TEFFLEY'S HILL.
SOLAR FLARE ONLY SECONDS BEHIND.
JUST LOOK AT THE--
LET'S JUST WORRY
ABOUT OURSELVES, HUH?
[Crowd Cheering]
JACK FRYMAN, A MARVELOUS FINISH
FOR U.S. CELTECH.
YOU'VE GOT TO BE PLEASED.
IT'S ALWAYS NICE TO SEE YOUR LOGO CROSS THE FINISH LINE FIRST.
I AM DISAPPOINTED THAT WE DON'T HAVE
A CLEAN SWEEP FOR THE AMERICANS.
HOWEVER, WE DO HAVE THREE CARS
STILL VYING FOR THIRD.
YOU GOT FOUR, JACK.
OH, YEAH.
THAT'S RIGHT!
THE HAWAIIANS.

ITWASTHESEKIDS

EVERYONE IN THE RACE HAS GOT TO BE
ENORMOUSLY PROUD OF THEIR VALIANT EFFORTS.
JACK?
ABSOLUTELY!
IT'S JUST A SHAME WE WON'T GET TO
SEE THEM CROSS THE FINISH LINE.
[Judd] TO RECAP,
THE SOLAR TEAM FROM KONA, HAWAII,
IS FINALLY HAVING
TO CALL IT QUITS.
[Gautier] HANS, DID YOU HEAR?
GAUTIER, I WAS WRONG ABOUT ONE THING.
THERE IS A GOD!
EH?
IT RUNS. IT RUNS!
WE CAN STILL MAKE IT.
NOT BY ITSELF, IT CAN'T.
WE'RE OUT OF DRIVERS. WHAT ABOUT MARCO?
MARCO?
THAT'S TOO DANGEROUS.
THEN ONI? SHE CAN'T GET BACK IN THAT CAR.
LOOK AT HER.
LOOK, GUYS.
WE ALREADY PROVED OURSELVES.
WE'D ONLY KILL OURSELVES.
WHAT ABOUT ME?
I'LL DRIVE.
GILBERT, YOU'RE NOT A DRIVER.
YOU'RE NOT REGISTERED. BUT I AM. TELL THEM.
HE IS. WELL, HE WAS.
I AM.
GILBERT,
THE CAR WON'T BUDGE
WITH YOU RIDING IN IT.
I'M SORRY, YOU KNOW,
IT JUST WON'T WORK.
ALL RIGHT?
LOOK, EVERYBODY,
I KNOW YOU HAD YOUR HEART SET ON FINISHING THIS RACE.
SO DID I.
THAT'S WHY WE CAME.
BUT IT'S OVER.

YOU'VE NOTHING
TO BE ASHAMED OF.
YOU KNOW, WE'RE THE FIRST,
THE ONLY HIGH SCHOOL TEAM

IN THE RECORD BOOKS.
THINK ABOUT THAT.
HANG ONTO THAT
BECAUSE THAT'S FOREVER.
[Frank] AND ONE MORE THING.
BY COMING HERE,
BY COMPETING AGAINST
SOME OF THE BEST ENGINEERS,
TOP TEAMS, TOP DRIVERS IN THE WORLD,
YOU'VE PROVED SOMETHING ELSE.
YOU KNOW WHAT THAT IS?
THAT YOU DON'T EVER,
AND I MEAN EVER
GET TO CALL YOURSELVES
THE LOLOS AGAIN.
COME ON, HELP ME GET THIS
IN THE TRAILER.
MR. MACHI,
WITHALLDUERESPECT, SIR,
YOU'RE WRONG
ABOUT ONE THING.
A LOLO WOULD PACK IT IN NOW,
WOULD TAKE THE EASY WAY OUT.
THAT'S WHAT
EVERYONE WOULD EXPECT.
I'M NOT QUITTING.
UNLESS I FINISH THIS RACE,
NO MATTER WHAT THE RECORD BOOK SAYS,
I'LL ALWAYS BE A LOLO IN HERE.
DANIEL--
UNI, IF WE DROP THE SOLAR PANELS,
HOW MUCH WEIGHT DO WE LOSE?
ABOUT 100 POUNDS. OKAY.
ONI, HOW MUCH JUICE WE GOT LEFT IN THE BATTERY?
THIRTY,
MAYBE 40 PERCENT.
SUBTRACT THAT FROM GILBERT'S WEIGHT.
IT WON'T GO FAST, BUT-- BUT IT'LL GO.
SANDRA, YOU WANT TO HELP ME?
I'M NEW AT THIS. REMEMBER?

YOU WANT TO HANG WITH THE HAOLE, KICKALITTLEBUTT?
