The Last Day of Summer (2007) - full transcript
The fun starts when 11-year old Luke wishes he could have his last day of vacation all over again - and his dreams come true! But when he relives the last day of summer over and over again, he soon finds himself eager for life to continue, whatever the future holds!
FRANK: What are you
doing, Luke?
We're camping out tonight.
Ah!
Perkins' backyard.
Well, good luck.
We'll be at the Clancy's
if you need some backup.
Thanks.
Are you set for school?
I'm all set.
What about clothes?
I was thinking,
the blue striped shirt
with the khakis
your grandmother
brought you...
Would go great
with the word "dork"
stamped on my forehead.
Oh, come on.
It wouldn't hurt to look nice
on your first day of school.
First day
of middle school, Mom.
And, yeah,
it would hurt a lot.
-He's right.
-FRANK: We gotta go!
Okay.
Good luck at the talent show,
and if I don't see you before,
I'll put your guitar backstage
after my face-painting shift.
Okay. Bye, Mom.
You must be
really nervous, huh?
Why would I be nervous?
Maybe because
the whole town
is going to be there.
If you screw up,
that will be the most
embarrassing thing ever.
Well, we're not gonna
screw up, okay?
I hope not,
for your sake,
because in middle school,
guys like Meat will
"Henderson" incoming
wise guys like you.
That's such a myth.
Really?
When was the last time
you saw Chris Henderson?
-He moved.
-So they say.
Although, the last time
anyone saw him,
he was going
into the boys' bathroom.
Well, my back's covered.
(SCOFFS)
By who?
A.J. and Riley?
Please.
Are you guys even
in the same classes?
Oh, then forget
about your back,
because you'll barely
see each other
during the day.
That school is huge,
and even when you do
they'll probably
be too busy hanging out
with their new,
cooler friends anyway.
(EXHALES)
We don't care about cooler.
-Yeah, right.
-"Yeah, right," is right.
(SIGHS) Tomorrow
is the last day of summer.
Did you take all the soda?
Maybe.
Well, give me one.
What do you say?
Please?
Well, I was saving
this for a special treat
later on, but...
Hmm.
You're welcome.
(SCREAMING)
Luke!
(SQUEAKS)
LUKE: It's gonna stink,
no way around it.
I mean,
we get different teachers
for every subject,
and they all give homework
like they're the only
ones giving it,
so we get
five hours a night,
which means
after school is shot,
and the school itself,
it's so huge,
we'll barely
ever see each other.
It's gonna stink.
At least it will be fun
to meet some new kids.
See? It's already started.
What did I say?
You're already talking about
breaking up the group.
-No, I'm not.
-Dude, Steel Monkey is,
like, forever.
Anyway, we can still
see each other
during recess.
There's no recess.
What do you mean
there's no recess?
There is no recess.
So what are we supposed
to do after lunch?
You go back to class.
So all we have is gym?
Actually,
that's called
health science now.
You're kidding.
No gym, no recess.
It sounds like the bathroom
is the only break we get.
(LAUGHING)
What?
(SIGHS) You don't want
to go to the bathroom, dude.
-Why?
-If Meat and his crew catch
you there, it's...
It's what?
Remember Henderson?
Whoa!
I thought that was a myth.
Me too,
until I found out otherwise.
But what if you
really have to go?
Then you really gotta hold it.
-Until we're
in the eighth grade.
-(CHUCKLING)
We still got
one last day of summer...
-Hmm.
-...to max it on everything
worth living for.
So what do you say, fellas,
Steel Monkey to the limit?
ALL: Steel Monkey rules!
(SPEAKING INDISTINCTLY)
But there's only
one thing left to say,
gentlemen.
-What?
-What?
-(FARTING)
-RILEY: That's so rude, dude!
-(GAGGING)
-Must have air.
The zipper's stuck!
(ALL STRUGGLING)
(VENDORS SHOUTING)
-Hey, Mom.
-Hey, sweetie.
Mind if we leave
our stuff here?
-Well, actually...
-Thanks, Mom.
-Thanks, Mrs. Malloy.
-Thanks.
Sure. Have fun.
I heard if you blow chunks
on this, they let you ride
again for free.
Really? Cool.
Okay, super powers.
Would you rather
have super strength
or be able to fly?
Hmm. Fly.
Okay, fly or become invisible?
That's easy,
nothing beats invisibility.
All right, invisibility
or the ability not
to smell A.J.'s farts?
(LAUGHING)
Oh, look who's
heading our way.
-Hey, guys.
-What's up?
Oh, my God, Sorenson,
what happened?
What?
Oh, I'm sorry,
it's just your natural face.
-Oh!
-(BOYS LAUGHING)
Har, har, har.
You're such a loser, Perkins.
So what's the deal
with Steel Monkey anyway?
There is no deal,
it's the name of our band.
-Hmm.
-Yeah.
But is it steel, the metal,
or steal, like,
ripping something off.
-Both.
-Yeah.
That's appropriate,
because, like you,
that makes no sense.
You know, that hurt.
I heard you guys
are pretty good.
LUKE: Yeah.
So you got Molesky
for homeroom, too, huh?
Hmm-mm.
I heard if you blow chunks
on this ride,
they'll let you ride
again for free.
-(DORY LAUGHING)
-(SIGHING)
Wow, thanks for the tip,
Malloy.
I hope you puke on loser here
and then do it all
over again for free.
-Good luck tonight.
-I'm sure you'll need it.
-Thanks, appreciate it.
-A.J.: Wacko.
-Why do I ever listen to you?
-What?
Blow chunks,
ride for free!
That's what I heard, dude,
what's your problem?
The problem
is that he likes Alice.
What? No, I don't!
Why do you even hang
out with them?
Girls are so annoying.
I said I don't even like her.
-Okay.
-Sure.
-Whatever you say.
-I don't!
(GROANS)
I don't know.
(ALL GROANING)
(YELLING)
(YELLING)
Wait a minute, Luke,
your diaper's on backwards.
Huh? Really?
(CHUCKLING)
Whoa!
Okay, get ready,
get set,
go!
All right,
stop the applause, guys,
stop the applause.
-(LUKE GROANS)
-In your face!
-Whatever.
-Yeah.
-Maybe Sorenson is right.
-About A.J. being a loser?
(A.J. LAUGHING)
No, maybe we should
debut another night.
What other night?
I don't know,
I just don't think
we're ready for tonight.
Are you kidding?
We've been practicing,
like forever.
You're not chickening out
because of those girls,
are you?
No! It's just...
What if we went
out there and stunk?
Stink compared to what?
I mean, my seven-year-old
cousin and her friend
are doing a tuba duet.
Yeah, but when
they screw up, it's cute.
We screw up, and we're
the biggest losers
in middle school,
and we're not even there yet.
If you're so worried
about screwing up,
just picture
the whole audience naked.
-Mmm.
-Are you kidding?
My parents are gonna be there.
Point taken.
Bad plan. I'm sorry.
Look, Luke,
we just gotta go for it
and that's all there is to it.
Uh, A.J.?
-What?
-You're not gonna eat that,
are you?
Ten-minute rule, dude.
If it's been sitting here
for less than 10 minutes,
you can eat it.
So it's cool.
Scientific fact.
The guy's slobber on the meat
is also a scientific fact.
Oh, and that's why we eat
from the uneaten side.
Like this.
Oh, no.
(MUFFLED) It's so delicious.
You should try some.
It is delicious.
Not that.
Meat and his friends,
4 o'clock.
Your other 4 o'clock.
Come on, stop.
Coming this way.
Hey, you dorks don't mind
if we join you, do you?
(MEAT CHUCKLES)
So you guys are what?
Going into second grade?
(OLDER BOYS LAUGHING)
-(SOFTLY) Sixth.
-No way.
You guys are incoming pukes.
(MEAT LAUGHS)
Well, new school buddies,
you won't mind
sharing some
of your food with us
while we visit?
We're starving.
(OLDER BOYS LAUGHING)
We should get together
like this during
the school year.
Heck, we should
start tomorrow.
Get together,
stuff our faces,
unless you'd rather
we flush yours.
(SOFTLY) Oh, no.
Whoa!
Hold up, little buddy.
You don't want to drop
that cone now, do you?
Give it here.
Whoa!
(GASPS)
There, now you don't
have to worry about it.
(OLDER BOYS LAUGHING)
Now, where were we?
MEAT: Now.
LUKE: I can't believe Meat
already knows us.
RILEY: I guess we just have
to pack double lunches
and a set of nunchucks.
You think since
we'll be feeding them, they'll
let us go to the bathroom?
-Go, Maxine. That's it.
-Okay.
Hey, Maxine,
you gotta keep pedaling.
MAXINE: I don't know
how you do this.
(SCREAMS)
Ouch. Been there.
You all right?
Here you go.
She should've kept pedaling.
MAXINE'S FATHER:
One more time.
(CHEERING)
-Dude's a God.
-He's beyond God.
-What's beyond a God?
-Dude is.
Isn't that so cool?
He makes my face hurt.
RILEY: Huh?
You know,
from all the cool.
Never mind.
ALL: Oh!
(CHEERING)
-What say we go catch
a little ourselves?
-Yeah.
Come on, Luke.
It's no big deal.
You can do it.
We've only got 17 hours
and 33 minutes
of freedom left
and that's if we don't sleep,
so let's go.
All right, all right.
What?
What is the matter this time?
I just felt a twinge
in my calf just as
I was about to take off.
Caught a case
of the chicken fever
is more like it.
Come on, Ri,
show this chicken
how to fly.
Whoa!
Four, five feet, easy.
(LAUGHING)
Dude, that was awesome.
Hey, that was fluid,
little brah, that was fluid.
Thanks, Snake,
you were awesome
over in the bowl.
It's NBD.
The secret's all
in your melon, brah.
Really? What kind?
I mean,
there's cantaloupe,
honeydew...
-(LAUGHING)
-This melon, brah,
this one.
And you gotta be
one with your ride.
Are you fluid?
Oh, yeah,
I'm as fluid as milk.
Well, then roll up over here
and share some skin, brah.
Oh!
You're gonna see this
little pup strutting with
the big dawgs someday, sha?
Let me get that board.
This your sponsor
right here?
One down,
one to go, huh?
What are you talking about?
He's just over
there for a second.
Uh-huh!
What are you
doing here, anyway?
Hanging out.
With who?
Where's Audrey and Stephanie?
I have more than
two friends, unlike you.
Nice helmet, man.
Not like I didn't
warn you, dawg.
Warn you about what?
All right, get on that board,
show us that trick again, man.
Nothing.
(PEOPLE SPEAKING INDISTINCTLY)
Hey, I need a little help
to lift up the tail,
I'll help you out.
Hey, guy. It looks good.
Looking good.
Oh!
Audio check.
(FEEDBACK SOUNDING)
Hello, Walker's Point.
Fifteen minutes
until show time.
Summer's last hurrah!
RILEY:
Oh, come on, Luke.
We will seriously spew
if you're gonna be this way.
Sorry, it's just...
Hey, Luke, according to you,
life basically ends
tomorrow anyway,
so we might as
well go out and rock it.
See in there.
Why does tomorrow
always have to come
anyway, huh?
Why can't it just stay
today for a while?
That's impossible, Luke.
Duh, A.J., it's a wish.
I wish it would just stay
today for a month,
a year, forever.
MAN 1: Yo, a little help,
please.
-Heads up.
-Thanks.
-What do you mean?
-What?
MAN 2: Hey, Harvey.
HARVEY: What?
MAN 2: Never mind.
(DOG BARKING)
LUKE: Uh, what?
(SCREAMING)
What's the matter, man?
-What's wrong?
-What's going on?
I don't know. What?
How should I know?
Well, you were
the one screaming.
Well, yeah.
This doesn't freak you out?
-What?
-All this?
We're in the tent, in the
same clothes, surrounded
by all the same junk.
-And?
-And? What do
you mean, "And?"
We're supposed
to be getting ready
for school right now,
but instead
we're back here.
What's the matter
with you guys?
You don't remember?
No.
We did all this yesterday.
We haven't done
anything today,
so how do you know...
Because today is yesterday.
Then what was yesterday?
-The day before,
which makes tomorrow...
-Today.
Except today
is yesterday, so...
Stop it!
September 1st.
It really is Labor Day again.
Wait a second,
it's coming back to me.
When the aliens came
last night, they did say
something about time warp.
-They did.
-Really?
I don't remember that.
Dude, you're
the one who's warped.
Now go back to bed,
you need it.
(CHUCKLING)
Wait, you guys
are messing with me, right?
By pretending that yesterday
is not today,
when, in fact, it really is?
-Uh-huh.
-Even though
we were both just asleep?
Ah!
Look, we were all sitting
around talking about tomorrow,
and A.J. was getting
all worked up about how
there's no recess
in middle school.
-How can there be no recess?
-There is no recess.
So what are we supposed
to do after lunch?
Go back to class,
I already told you.
-So all we have is gym?
-Actually, that's called
health science now.
You're kidding.
No recess, no gym.
BOTH: Sounds like
the bathroom's
the only break we get.
Whoa.
Cool.
How did you know that?
I've been trying
to tell you guys.
Yesterday,
today, is happening
all over again.
Just like I...
Oh, my gosh.
It came true.
-What did?
-The ultimate do-over.
All right, then.
So what happens next?
(CHIPMUNK SQUEAKS)
Don't ask me,
ask your butt.
(STOMACH RUMBLING)
(FARTING)
Oh, that's so rude,
dude. Air!
The zipper's stuck!
Can't get out!
(GROANING)
Dude, that's horrible
the second time.
A.J.: Enjoy it.
(RILEY SQUEALING)
I heard if you
blow chunks on this,
they let you ride
again for free.
Why would you ride
again after a hurl?
'Cause it's free, duh!
Okay, super powers.
-Would you rather...
-Fly.
-Okay, fly or...
-Nothing beats invisibility.
Except not having
to smell A.J.'s farts.
Look, Luke, I don't know
what you're doing,
but stop it.
I mean it,
you're freaking me out.
-But it's...
-No, I'm serious.
A.J. and I already
talked about it.
It's not funny anymore,
so just stop it.
Please? Okay?
-Okay.
-Good.
I just hope the girls
aren't heading our way.
Oh, look
who's heading our way.
-(GIGGLING)
-Stop it!
Oh, it's cool.
I'll handle this.
-Hey, guys.
-Hey, ladies, how's life
on the Red Planet?
What?
Mars. Come on,
you're not fooling us,
we knew you guys
were really Martians.
What are you talking about?
Why are you acting so weird?
I was just trying...
He thinks today
is some kind of do-over.
-What? No, I don't.
-Yes, you do.
-Do you?
-He does.
You do. Right, A.J.?
You remember
how you freaked out
in the tent this morning?
And you've been acting like
you knew everything
that I was going to...
-Okay.
-And we're the Martians?
Okay, I know it sounds weird.
That's all right.
No need to explain.
-(SIGHS)
-Mr. Wacko.
We gotta be going anyway.
Hope you feel better.
Good luck tonight.
I'm sure you'll need it.
RILEY: Thanks.
-Thanks a lot, guys.
-What'd we do?
You made me look
like a total nut-ball.
And your point is?
What do you expect?
Between this do-over thing
and liking Alice...
What? Are you kidding me?
I just called her a Martian.
Exactly.
What do you mean,
"Exactly"?
Well, in shrink talk,
my folks would say
you're overcompensating.
Meaning, it's normal
to say something stupid
to a girl you like
to show you don't like her,
even though you really do.
That makes no sense.
But neither
does liking a girl, dude.
I don't like her.
I don't, I don't,
I don't, I don't.
What's that word again?
Overcompensating.
Now that's a good one.
A.J.: I don't know.
(GROANING)
(ALL GROANING)
A.J.: Riley.
Get my hand, please.
-Oh, thank you.
-RILEY: I'm falling.
(YELLING)
(YELLING)
Wait a minute, Luke.
Your diaper's on backwards.
Huh? Really?
(SCREAMING)
Ready?
(SCREAMING)
RILEY: Okay, get ready,
get set,
go!
Hold the applause,
hold the applause.
-Whoa!
-Oh, yes!
-He beat you.
-So who won?
We only have one debut,
one time to make
a first impression,
one time to launch
the Steel Monkey legend,
and I just don't think
we're ready
for that critical leap,
you know?
You're over-thinking
this, dude.
We just gotta go for it.
And that's all there is to it.
Why do we have
to sit here anyway?
What do you mean?
It's gross.
Let's go sit
over there.
This is fine.
Lot of meat left
in that burger, eh?
Thinking what I'm thinking?
I say it's been there
six minutes,
seven minutes, max.
And if you eat it...
From the uneaten side,
slobber-free.
Scientific fact.
What are you guys
talking about?
Shh!
(WHISPERING) Keep it down.
Meat and friends
approaching on the right.
Your other right.
Oh!
Hey, you folks don't mind
if we join you, do you?
They're such jerks.
How old are you guys, like,
five, six?
(LAUGHING)
You guys still need
your mommies?
What should we do?
We could go over there
and get out butts kicked.
Gotta do something.
No. Let's leave before
they decide to join us.
(MEAT AND FRIENDS BOOING)
Look at you,
you're about to cry.
-Wait.
-Oh!
If it makes you feel
any better,
he was gonna take it anyway.
You're so dead, dude.
Me? Why?
-Come on, man!
-Split up!
LOLA: Hey, you barnacles!
Don't worry, don't worry,
I do not pinch.
I am a politically-correct
crustacean.
Unless you got
a pot of boiling water,
then I'm scared.
Hold on there
to your britches, Captain.
Don't you see these
minnows crossing?
You don't want to step
on one of them,
do you?
Oh! You know what?
Come over here.
Come over here.
Lay a little claw on
this old crustacean,
would you?
I think I got something
stuck up...
Come on.
Ah! Gotcha!
That's an old
arthropod joke, sir.
Land-lubbers...
What you gonna do?
Okay, so who's having fun?
Come on!
All clear!
Thank you,
talking lobster lady.
Over there.
AUDREY: Hey, Luke.
Hi, Audrey.
Is your sister around?
No, she's at the skate park
with Snake and those guys.
-Oh.
-Huh.
Okay. Well,
tell her we said hi.
-Over there, man.
-There he is.
Man, I can't believe
that little puke got away.
Don't worry, we'll get him.
If not here,
then tomorrow at school.
-In the bathroom.
-BOY: Yes.
-You wanna Henderson him?
-Good idea.
(SIGHS)
ALICE: What?
Sorry. I was just
looking for something.
So do you speak Martian
or would you
rather talk in English?
I have a sister,
so, you know,
I can go either way.
So you got Molesky
for homeroom, too, huh?
-Yeah.
-Me, too.
You just said that.
Sort of.
Well, my Martian's
a little rusty.
Uh...
You know, I heard if you
connect the moles
on Mr. Molesky's face,
it looks like the
State of Idaho,
which is the state
of famous potatoes.
And who's the most
famous potato?
Mr. Potato Head.
Get it?
All Mr. Molesky needs
is one of those
little derby hats and...
-(CLEARING THROAT)
-What's the matter?
MOLESKY: Nothing at all.
Mr., uh...
What are you staring at?
-Idaho.
-What did you say?
I said,
I don't know, sir.
Good thing you have
a sense of humor, Mr...
-Malloy.
-Malloy.
Because starting tomorrow,
you're gonna need it.
You're toast, Malloy.
LUKE: I will not be a dork.
I will not be a dork.
I will not be a dork.
I am one with my ride.
I am one with my ride.
I am one with my ride.
Okay, it's now or never.
It's now or never.
Yo, there's a guppy
in the bowl.
Get the stretcher.
Go, will you?
Take your spill
and then get out of my way.
We got a Dawg Pound
try-out here.
-You can try out
for the Pound?
-Invitation only, dude.
Hey, Snake,
tell this kid
to take his tumble.
I'm ready to shred.
Hey, just chill, brah.
Relax.
Little dawg,
is this your first drop?
(CROWD HOOTING)
-Word of advice.
-Be one with my ride?
Yes! Oh-ho!
L-dawg's been
carving into my melon!
How did you know
I was gonna say that?
Irie, now be your ride,
all right?
Come on.
Are you crazy, Luke?
You're gonna die!
Hey, just let him be, brah.
Just let him be.
Irie. The moment of vengeance
shines upon us, people!
(CROWD HOOTING)
-Yeah!
-Whoo-hoo!
Let's get down to business.
Come on.
(SCREAMING)
Ugh!
(ALL GROANING)
Oh!
-Uh!
-It's okay.
That was, like,
so awesome, dude.
ALL: Oh!
L-dawg, you were like
a seven with your ride,
which, if you do the math,
is like six too many.
It's a little more
L-spaz than L-dawg.
(ALL LAUGHING)
Step aside.
Are you all right, dude?
I suppose, in a completely
humiliating
sort of way, yeah.
A.J.: Hey,
like Snake was saying...
Actually, I didn't understand
a word he said.
-But you tried.
-Yeah.
Even if it was a...
(BOTH SCREAMING)
BOTH: Oh!
Hey. That was
crazy stupid, L-dawg.
(INAUDIBLE)
Oh!
GIRL: Hey!
(SIGHS)
What is it with jerks
like Meat, huh?
What makes them
so mean?
Well, my folks just say,
"He's probably a nice,
sweet kid who's just insecure.
"Chances are
his home life's a mess,
"causing feelings
of anger and frustration."
-That's why he bullies
little kids like us.
-(MUMBLES)
It gives him a false
sense of empowerment,
which, if not addressed,
could possibly
lead to a life of crime.
Oh!
Now you know what
my family dinners are like.
So does it work?
I mean,
talking about it like that?
Well, that's what
they get paid for.
Hello, Walker's Point.
Fifteen minutes
until show time.
(IMITATING ELVIS PRESLEY)
Thank you.
Thank you very much.
So what advice
would your parents give
for someone who's afraid
he's gonna get taken out.
What do you mean,
"Taken out"?
Yeah, 'cause chicken out
is more like it.
-It's not that.
-Then who's gonna
take you out?
-Harvey.
-Harvey?
That guy.
-But it first starts out
with the Frisbee.
-What Frisbee?
-This one.
-MAN 1: Yo, a little help,
please.
-Only this time
when the guy yells...
-MAN 2: Hey, Harvey.
-HARVEY: What?
-I'll duck.
-MAN 2: Never mind.
-Ta-da! (GROANS)
LUKE: Let's just get this
over with, okay?
There's no more recess,
you go back
to class after lunch.
A.J.: What are you
talking about?
LUKE: Gym's called
health science,
you have to hold it
until eighth grade
and Meat'll "Henderson" you.
And, no,
it's not just a myth.
Now can we start the day?
Oh,
except one more thing.
RILEY: What?
LUKE: A.J., if you please.
(FARTING)
(GROANING)
RILEY: Oh,
that's so rude, dude!
-Must have air.
-(GIGGLING)
I can't believe
summer's almost over.
Uh, dude,
don't remind us about school.
Hey, maybe tomorrow
won't happen.
Yeah. And maybe this ride
will suddenly whip
around and be fun,
like the ride
we should have gone on.
How'd you talk us
into this anyway?
Well, I seem to be stuck
in this day-long
do-over time warp,
so I decided to,
you know,
switch things up a bit.
Did you know that
"stool" is another
word for turd?
-What?
-What?
Seriously.
I was at the doctor's office
and this nurse asked a guy
for a stool sample.
And I'm thinking,
"Metal or wood?"
But then the guy hands
him a tiny steamer.
-Seriously? Are you kidding?
-Oh-ho, no way!
Yeah.
So what'd the guy do,
just leave it on
the counter or something?
No. It was, like,
little plastic containers.
You know the one
they put the pills in?
How does someone
take a dump
in a pill container?
I have no clue.
Just aim and fire,
I guess.
What's so funny, Perkins?
Let's see.
That time at lunch
when you squeezed
cherry yogurt out your nose,
-that was funny.
-Yeah, that was funny.
And, of course,
there's your face.
ALL: Oh!
Har, har,
you're such a loser, Perkins.
Nice, dude.
Hey, you guys want
something to drink?
ALL: No!
-Too bad.
-Open wide.
ALL: Oh!
No!
You're so dead, Sorenson.
(LUKE LAUGHING)
What's so funny?
Come on, guys,
you got them, they got us.
What's that
supposed to mean?
It's a tie?
Against the girls?
(CHUCKLES)
You want?
You're kidding, right?
Just wish me luck.
What for?
Hey, you guys don't mind
if we join you, do you?
LUKE: No, please sit down.
We were hoping
you guys would stop by.
Well,
then I guess this
is your lucky day.
(MEAT LAUGHING)
Hey, you wouldn't mind
sharing some of your
food while we visit?
No, please dig in.
Uh, so, Meat...
Mind if I call you Meat?
Would you rather me call you
something else?
Mr. Meat, perhaps?
How about I rip the tongue
out of your head
and you won't
have to worry about
calling me anything?
-Uh.
-Hey.
You should look at me
when I'm talking to you.
What did you say to me?
Hey, I know manners
aren't taught
in broken homes
like yours, so...
Whoa, whoa. Broken?
What are you talking about?
-Your parents
don't live together...
-Whoa, whoa.
-Yes, they do.
-Are you sure?
(CHUCKLES)
Of course you're sure.
Hey, I'm just trying
to start a dialogue here.
To let you know
that we know
that bullying kids like us
gives you a false sense of...
What's the word?
You talking to me?
I hardly know this guy, Luke.
If that is his real name.
Listen, dog breath,
one more word out of you
and I'm gonna
send you to tomorrow.
Actually, that's harder
than you think.
Okay.
Come on, Meat, I'm...
You're probably a nice kid
stuck in a big jerk's body.
-Ooh!
-LUKE: Shh!
I'm just trying to save you
from a...
From a life of crime.
Let's go!
-LUKE: Split up!
-Get them.
I can't believe that
little puke got away.
MEAT: Don't worry,
we'll get him.
If not here,
then tomorrow at school.
In the bathroom.
-Oh, yes. You wanna
"Henderson" him?
-Good idea.
Okay.
Hi, Alice.
Hey.
'Sup?
(SPEAKING SPANISH)
Yo, baby.
MOLESKY:
And a "yo" to you, Mr...
-Malloy.
-Malloy.
Though I prefer the salutation
"Mr. Molesky" to "babe."
-I wasn't calling you...
-Relax, Mr. Malloy,
I was just dealing
you the dozens.
(CHUCKLES)
Sir?
Filling your sails.
Giving you the old T-step,
two-step,
the Molesky shuffle.
I doth turneth your crank.
I was kidding, dude.
Oh!
See you tomorrow.
MAXINE'S FATHER:
Okay, here we go, Maxine.
That's it. All right.
I can do this. I can do this.
Keep looking. I can do this.
(MAXINE SCREAMS)
Ooh!
Are you all right?
Are you crazy, Luke?
You're gonna die!
Hey, just let him be, brah.
Just let him be. Irie.
You should listen
to your buddy.
It's fluid, dawg.
It's all fluid.
Whoa!
Listen to the cho, brah!
(WHOOPING)
SNAKE: Hey,
that's irie, L-dawg.
Moment of vengeance
shines upon us.
(CHEERING)
Yeah!
Ah!
Be one with my ride.
Be one with my ride.
Be one with my ride.
Ugh!
(ALL GROANING)
SNAKE: L-dawg.
Drop wasn't a total woofer.
But on the face
you were more like
a four with your ride,
which, if you do
the math, is like...
Three too many.
You been tapping
my blog, brah?
Come on! What?
Hey, very few dawgs
shred on the virgin drop.
You just gotta keep rolling
and keep spilling
till those wheels stick
to the plumbing.
-Sha?
-ALL: Sha!
Thanks, Snake, I will.
De nada, L-dawg,
de nada.
I can't believe you did it.
That was the coolest thing
I've ever seen you do.
-De nada, dawgs, de nada.
-Hey.
-That was crazy stupid, brah.
-Thanks.
Hey, Audrey and Stephanie
were looking for you.
What did you tell them?
I just said you were here.
How did you know
I was here?
I...just did.
Well, there's no law that says
I have to hang out
with them all the time.
Hey, hey, hey.
I was just giving you
the message,
not trying to arrest you.
Good.
First Meat, then the pipe,
what's up with
the death wish, dude?
Empowerment.
That's the word
I was looking for.
No, that's more like suicide.
No, no, no, no.
I tried to get Meat to realize
that bullying kids like us
gave him a false sense
of empowerment.
You sound like my parents.
The only way to deal
with a psycho nutjob
like Meat
is to kick his butt.
Yes.
Now he tells me.
(FEEDBACK SOUNDING)
Hello, Walker's Point.
Fifteen minutes
until show time.
Summer's last hurrah!
Pain. Humiliation.
Pain...
What the heck
are you doing?
Humiliation it is.
It's hard to explain,
but it first starts out
with this Frisbee.
MAN 1: Yo, a little help,
please.
-Heads up.
-Thanks.
-MAN 2: Hey, Harvey.
-HARVEY: What?
-MAN 2: Never mind.
-Oh, yeah.
Now, you go, Harvey.
Oh, yeah.
MAN 1: Yo, a little help,
please.
(LUKE SIGHS)
-Heads up.
-Thanks.
-MAN 2: Hey, Harvey.
-HARVEY: What?
-MAN 2: Never mind.
-Yeah.
You go, Harvey.
Whoo!
Whoa.
(STRUMMING AIR GUITAR)
-MAN 3: Hey, look out!
-(GASPS)
Come on, Luke,
we're about to go on.
What are you doing?
Looking for an answer.
Well, what's the question?
Am I the butt
of some cosmic prank
being played out
by forces beyond
my control?
Hmm.
(CHUCKLING)
-MAN: Hey, Harvey.
-What?
(GROANS)
MAN: Never mind.
(METEOR WHISTLING)
-A.J.: There's only one
thing left to say.
-RILEY: What?
A.J.: Luke,
what are you doing?
LUKE: Playing fact or fiction.
(STRIKING MATCH)
-(FARTING)
-(EXPLODES)
(GIGGLING)
(BOYS COUGHING)
RILEY: Ew, that's so rude.
LUKE: It's a fact.
A.J.: Sit down, enjoy it.
(GROANING)
Let's go find Luke.
Shoot.
Hey.
Hi.
-Um, I'm alone.
-Oh! Then what
are you doing here?
I was just checking out
the butterflies.
-You?
-I love butterflies.
Do you collect them?
No, I like them better alive.
They probably like that, too.
Yeah.
-So have you seen them?
-Seen who?
The butterflies.
Uh...
You gotta check this out.
Wait. Close your eyes.
Trust me.
Okay, open them.
Whoa, this is like
the coolest thing
I've ever seen.
Where'd they all come from?
Mr. Molesky.
This whole thing
is his exhibit.
Really? Wow.
And tomorrow he's bringing
our class back here
for the release.
-He's gonna let them all go?
-Mmm-hmm.
He does it every year.
I heard that
it first starts out
with this little speech
he does
about how all the butterflies
are getting ready
to take flight
and how it's a new beginning
and blah, blah, blah.
But then,
when he opens this thing up,
this cloud of butterflies
comes flying out.
It'll be so cool.
They like you.
Great. I guess.
Oh, it's a good thing.
-Aren't you scared at all?
-About the butterflies?
No, tomorrow.
Middle school.
Oh.
A little, yeah.
I mean, I'm nervous,
but who isn't, you know?
Well, I'll see you later.
Wait.
Why is it a good thing
that they like me?
Well, some people believe
butterflies are more
than just insects,
that there's something
magical about them.
Do you believe that?
Why not?
I'll... I'll see you later.
Later?
At the talent show.
-You guys are still playing,
aren't you?
-Oh, yeah.
Oh, yeah.
(CHUCKLES)
You're so cool
performing in front
of all those people.
Now that would scare me.
Good luck.
(ALL GROANING)
Oh!
(ALL GROANING)
-Hi, Mom.
-Hi, hon.
Can I talk to you
for a moment?
Sure.
Let me just finish up here.
It's important.
-Oh, go ahead, don't mind me.
-Thanks.
Come here, sweetie.
You see, a while ago
I sort of wished
for a do-over day,
and, lucky me,
it happened.
Oh, I see.
-Well, that's wonderful, dear.
-Not anymore.
I'm stuck in this day
and I don't know what to do.
Did you get
much sleep last night?
It's not about that.
-You'd be surprised...
-Mom,
you're not understanding me.
Well, we mothers never do,
do we?
-It's not like that.
-It's as if we were
never kids ourselves.
Look, I really need to talk
to my mother here, okay?
By all means.
I wonder what he wants.
I don't know how else
to explain this,
but for me,
there's no tomorrow.
Aw!
Wow, you can see the future.
You must know my son Melvin.
He's in eighth grade
and knows everything, too.
I don't know him.
Of course you do.
Come on now.
He's big for his age.
He always wears black.
Chains, leather-studded belt?
Just a phase.
Yeah, if you're
a budding psychopath.
-Luke.
-Is that jealousy
rearing its ugly head?
-Jealousy? Are you kidding?
-Luke Malloy.
-What has gotten into you?
-I've been trying to tell you.
But never mind.
Luke.
LUKE: Oh, no. Not again.
Let's just get this
over with, okay?
(FARTING)
(MUFFLED LAUGHTER)
Ugh!
(BEEPING)
One, two, three,
testing, one, two. Nice.
Just give me a minute, guys.
(SIGHS)
Hello?
LUKE: Hey, buddy, you mind?
I'm working under this one.
Just kidding, meatball.
-Who's down there?
-It's your old buddy...
Henderson.
And you know where
I'm coming from.
What are you doing down there?
(ENGINE STARTS)
What's going on?
What do you want?
An eye for an eye,
meathead.
A taste of your own medicine.
(WHISTLING)
Whoa, whoa, wait. Hey, hey.
Can we talk about this?
(SCREAMS)
(MEAT SHOUTING)
MAN: Is somebody
in there or what?
Hang on.
-Hi, Mom.
-Hi, hon.
A.J. and Riley
were here a moment ago.
They said they've been
looking for you all day.
Oh, uh...
I'll catch up with them later.
I've got a message
for the lady here.
Your son Melvin wanted me
to tell you he feels like...
(BLOWS RASPBERRY)
He's over
by the porta-potties.
You might want
to bring a hose.
Hey, Luke.
-Hey.
-Is your sister around?
No, she's at the skate park.
Ah!
Okay. Well, um,
just tell her we said hi.
Sure.
Hey.
Do you wanna know
the secret to riding a bike?
-Yeah.
-Be one with your ride.
-And keep pedaling.
-What do you mean?
Come here.
Now we're gonna start.
When I let go,
you're gonna keep pedaling.
You'll find your balance,
but only if you
keep going forward.
Keep going for it?
Exactly,
keep going for it.
Hop on.
-So what are you gonna do?
-Keep pedaling?
-And?
-Keep going for it?
-Couldn't hear you.
-Go for it.
I'm sorry,
did you say something?
I'm going to keep pedaling.
Oh, geez, I must have
something stuck in my ear,
'cause I can't hear you.
Keep pedaling
and go for it!
Yeah, Maxine, way to...
-(SCREAMS)
-Oh!
-I did it.
-Yeah, you did.
I'll try to remind
you tomorrow.
I won't forget,
I promise.
Oh, yes, you will.
I promise.
Hey, there he is. Luke!
Oh, 'sup, dawgs?
What do you mean,
"'Sup, dawgs"?
We've been looking
for you all day.
Sorry, I'm just sick
of the rides.
What?
I mean,
I didn't feel well,
so the rides would've
made me sicker.
-You know?
-Yeah.
-Right.
-Mmm-hmm.
Okay.
Anyway, I gotta go.
What?
Where are you going now?
To the bowl.
Are you kidding, Luke?
You're gonna die!
Not today, brah,
not today.
Did he just call me
a "brah"?
I think so.
Yo, there's a guppy
in the bowl.
Get the stretcher.
(CROWD LAUGHING)
Funny, brah.
Truly hysterical.
Hey, just take your spill
and get out of my way.
I'll go when I'm ready.
Hey, Snake!
Tell this kid
to take his tumble.
I'm ready to shred.
So am I.
ALL: Oh!
What you saying there,
ese- brah.
I'm saying I wanna
shred the plumbing
so I can roll with
the Pound. You fluid?
Irie, L-dawg.
We're fluid el mucho, boy!
Come on, Snake.
This is a joke.
You shaking, dawg?
Ooh!
(ALL HOOTING)
Well, well, well.
Apparently ese -brah
here is throwing down.
-Are you rolling
or running, dawg?
-What?
You mean I'm competing
against this little squirt?
Is there a problem, dawg?
Then let there be shred.
He's lost his mind.
He did say he was sick.
I hope you enjoyed
yourself there,
because in addition to pain,
you're gonna
be humiliated, too.
Good luck.
(SPARSE APPLAUSE)
Cool.
That was so awesome!
Whatever.
(CHEERING)
Bring it.
SNAKE: Oh, my God!
Who is that little dawg?
That's my brother.
How come you never told me
about your micro-brah, babe?
Maybe because
we've never
actually talked before.
Oh, sha.
Now it's on, brah.
Good.
Oh, my God!
Yes!
Pack it in, squirt.
I know what you got left,
and it's called nada.
Woo!
ALL: Oh!
RILEY: Way to go, Luke!
You rule!
You're the man, Luke.
You were so awesome.
You were unbelievable, dude.
Hey, Tinker-brah!
Fire hither and share some
skin with your new peeps
in the Pound, huh?
BOY: Yeah.
What are you doing?
Poodle-pup,
just relax, all right?
Micro-maestro is rolling
with the big dawgs now,
you fluid?
Yo, it's cool, dawgs.
I'll catch you guys
on the flip side.
-Yeah!
-I told you this kid is...
What the heck?
Forget him.
Let's just get out of here.
Welcome to my Pound, brah.
What are you
talking about?
Well, I'm talking about
the L-dawg here
flying the colors
and living the code, babe.
-He's 11.
-So what?
-So?
-So you're too young.
You shouldn't even be here.
Why aren't you
with your friends?
Why aren't you with yours?
Hey, hey, guys,
just let there be chill,
all right?
It's never too early
to start living the
three "N's," my friend.
-What's that?
-Well, that's
"hangin'," "ridin'"
-and "partyin'."
-(ALL WHOOPING)
-That's all you guys do?
-SNAKE: Sha!
We do other stuff, too.
Like...
Videoing ourselves ridin'
and watching it
while we party!
What's up, dawgs?
Where are your friends, brah?
What? You're my friends.
Wow. I hate to see
how you treat your enemies.
What are you talking about?
Are you kidding?
First, you ditch us.
And then when we finally
catch up with you,
you blow us off.
But Snake called me over.
Well, whoop-dee-doo.
-Come on.
-Fluid, brah, fluid.
Where'd you learn
how to skateboard like that?
You said you'd never
been in a bowl,
yet you've been flying
and twisting around like
you've been doing it forever.
It's hard to explain.
No, it's not, Luke.
It's called lying.
I didn't lie.
Come on, guys,
you gotta believe me.
It's too late for that, dude.
You're on your own.
A.J., it's your turn.
I got a bonus.
RILEY: Oh!
RILEY: Yo, you up?
A.J.: (YAWNING)
I am now.
RILEY: Where's Luke?
A.J.: Dude,
you just woke me up.
How should I know?
Hey.
Hey. What are you doing here?
Gotta stay
in shape for soccer.
What's the matter?
Nothing. I'm all right.
You're not upset
'cause you're such
a big dork, are you?
Look who's talking.
Yeah?
So what happened?
I thought you
were at A.J's.
Remember this?
Sure. Pinky swear.
I swear to you
I'm going to tell
you the truth, Di.
Okay?
You know
my Ted Williams card?
It's worth a lot of money.
And if I'm lying,
you can have it.
Okay,
you've got my attention.
So what's up?
I've been living the same
day again and again
for I don't know how long.
Today?
I'm actually dying
to go to school,
even if I can't go
to the bathroom
for two years
or get face-flushed
by Meat.
-Where you going?
-To get your
Ted Williams card.
Fine. Have fun today.
Running with the Dawg Pound,
living the three N's.
Irie, sha.
Have you been spying on me?
No, but I've seen you
at the skate park
at least 100 times.
Come on, Di,
you gotta believe me.
Come on! Luke, this is crazy.
I know, I know.
Please,
give me a chance.
All right. Prove it.
Okay.
Hey, man! Yeah.
How's it going?
Two words.
Purple thong.
(CROWD LAUGHING)
-MAN: It's okay.
-(MUFFLED) Ew!
Yellow balloon.
KID: Mommy, my balloon!
Triple fives.
WOMAN: Oh, that's it.
MAN: The winner, triple five.
Pink pig.
GIRL: The pink pig.
Big hug.
(SQUEALING IN EXCITEMENT)
That was pretty random,
don't you think?
Here, take one.
-Thanks.
-You're welcome.
(DIANA READING)
MEAT: Get out of
my way, kid.
Hey, Meat.
Or should I say Melvin?
-(LAUGHING)
Who's Melvin?
-Shut up!
Who told you that?
Hey, back off
or the whole middle
school will know by
second period tomorrow.
Okay. Take it easy, kid.
My name's not "kid."
It's Luke. Luke Malloy.
Okay, Luke. Be cool.
Sure.
Practice this,
and your secret's
safe with me.
up and going in a snap.
Can't believe the Net, dude.
Okay.
I'll be watching, Melv.
Okay.
So how am I doing?
-Can I keep Ted Williams?
-Yeah.
A water?
Fry?
At this point, I'd rather
gnaw on my arm
than eat another French fry
or drink another soda.
Well, that officially
removes my last shred
of doubt.
How'd you get
yourself into this?
I wished for it.
-Why?
-Why not?
I didn't want
summer to end.
(SCOFFS) That's it?
Or school to begin.
I mean, you've been
through middle school.
Yeah. And?
It's just gonna be
so much different.
So many new kids,
which changes
the whole friendship thing.
And where being
cool matters more than
if you've been
best buds forever.
Are A.J. and Riley acting
like you're not cool enough?
Or too cool.
Depends on the day.
Why do you think
A.J. and Riley will
suddenly care about your, um,
degree of coolness?
You told me they would.
Oh!
I was just
winding you up.
I know,
but it happened.
What do you mean?
Audrey and Stephanie?
-We're still friends.
-Not like you were.
I see them every day.
And when I tell them
you're at the skate park,
they give
each other this look
like you've moved on.
And that's what
I'm afraid of.
You're such a dork.
Well, thanks for
the pep talk.
But you're a cool dork, Luke.
You're either cool
or you're a dork.
How can you be
a cool dork?
Well, you're honest
with yourself,
to your buddies,
even with me.
That sounds like
the dork part.
No, that's the cool part.
Being my little brother
is the dork part.
-So if I were you,
I would just quit worrying...
-Hey, Luke.
...and go for it.
Like with that girl
that just walked by.
Who?
You mean Alice?
You like her, don't you?
She's okay.
Well, have you
told her she's okay?
I think she knows.
So you've been
repeating this day
over and over
and you still
haven't told her?
-Hey, it's not easy.
-Well, exactly.
But you know what?
Girls love to be
told that stuff.
Even if they're being
told by cool dorks?
Especially if they are.
What's the matter?
This is great, Di.
Really. It's just...
I'm afraid
I'll wake up tomorrow
and have to do it
all over again.
Well, maybe
it'll be different this time.
You've already changed my day.
Now, go change yours.
MOLESKY:
Have fun and enjoy
the rest of the exhibit.
-Mr. Molesky?
-Yes.
Uh, not to be too much
of a brown-nose moth,
but I'm really looking forward
to class tomorrow.
And, actually,
it's a brown-tail moth.
I know,
I'm just baggin' on you.
Pulling your chain.
Busting your chops.
I'm kidding, dude.
Good one. Good one.
I'll see you in class.
-Hi, Alice.
-Hey.
It's just me.
Oh, then
what are you doing here?
I like butterflies.
There's just something
about them
that makes me feel good.
I know what you mean.
I heard about
the release tomorrow.
Bet that will be cool, huh?
I can't wait.
Don't be nervous
about the butterflies,
they like you.
Oh, it's not the butterflies
on the outside,
it's the butterflies
on the inside.
Talent show, huh?
No.
Well...
There was another
reason I came in here.
Because I want to see you.
And tell you that
I'm really glad
that we're in the same
class this year.
Me, too.
Really?
Cool.
Well, see you.
Good luck.
* I'm a cool dork,
I'm a cool dork

* I'm a cool dork

Oh, yeah *
Fifteen minutes
until show time.
Summer's last hurrah!
(IMITATING ELVIS PRESLEY)
Thank you very much.
Thank you.
Thank you very much.
Oh!
Come on, Luke.
We will seriously spew
if you're gonna be this way.
It's not what you think.
For the first time
in a long time,
I'm ready to rock.
Uh!
Whatever works.
MAN 1: Yo,
a little help, please.
-The problem is...
-Thanks.
...I won't be around
to find out. See?
Harvey.
See what?
(TUBAS PLAYING)
You never said
your cousin
was a tuba prodigy.
I didn't even know
there was such a thing.
Oh, man. Ooh!
(BICYCLE BELL RINGING)
Hey.
Hey.
Thanks for teaching
me the secret.
I can really do it now.
-You remember?
-Sure.
What's the matter?
Remember how you felt
before you could ride?
Yeah.
That's how I feel now.
Well, keep pedaling.
Right?
Right.
See you.
Yeah.
(CHEERING)
Well! You got to feel
a little sorry
for the act that has to follow
that terrific trough
of tuba talent.
(LOLA LAUGHING)
Next up, Steel Monkey!
Great job.
Is that steel,
like in the metal,
or, like, steal like
in ripping something off?
(LAUGHING)
Well, gotta go
back to my cave.
What are we gonna do?
-I don't know,
but we can't play without...
-Let's go, guys.
Where the heck
have you been?
Freaking out.
But then I remembered
we're in this together,
right?
ALL: Steel Monkey rules!
Here we go.
(FEEDBACK SQUEALING)
(AUDIENCE LAUGHING)
Oh, man.
(FEEDBACK SQUEALING)
MAN: There we go, buddy.
There you go.
MAN: Let's hear it!
WOMAN: Let's go!
-Go, Luke!
-Here we go, kid.
You got this.
Come on, guys. Let's go!
Luke!
You can do it!
-Go, Luke!
-Yeah.
DIANA: You can do it.

(AUDIENCE CHEERING)
(LAUGHING)
This the greatest or what?
This is the best day ever.
(SCREAMING)
(AUDIENCE GROANING)
Hey, look who's up.
Here, drink this.
Special treat.
I didn't shake it up.
That would not
have been kind,
although it definitely
would have been random.
Anyway, I have
to go meet Audrey
and Stephanie.
Thanks.
How you feeling,
sweetheart?
A little drowsy.
Today is...
Your last day of summer.
(SIGHS)
Of course,
it's everyone else's
first day of school.
The festival? It's over?
Yeah, you certainly
ended it with a bang
when that chipmunk came down
and landed on your head,
and then you
fell off the stage...
We performed?
Well, you really
did bang your head.
You guys were
the hit of the show.
You don't remember that?
Wow.
You've got
some visitors here,
if you're up for it.
Sure.
Come on in, boys.
-Not too long, okay?
-Yes, Mrs. Malloy.
-Hey.
-How you doing?
Good. Actually, great.
By the way,
Alice told me
to tell you hello.
-What's up with that, dude?
-Back off, man.
He has a head injury.
We'll give him grief later.
(LAUGHS)
You won't believe
what happened at school today.
RILEY: It was amazing.
I'm walking down the hall,
I'm looking for our classes,
and I accidentally bumped into
this very large dude.
He was huge!
-With a lot of facial hair.
-And nasty teeth.
Dude definitely stayed back
a couple of years.
Yeah.
But I accidentally
knocked down his books
and the dude
looks at me like...
He's definitely gonna die.
But before he says anything...
Or kicks his butt.
...guess who comes
to my rescue?
Meat.
-He's psychic.
-How'd you know?
Wild guess.
Well, anyway.
He tells the guy to chill
and, of course, he does,
and he helps me
pick up the books.
It was nice,
but so random.
Very.
Then after that I saw Sorenson
and she asks me
where I'm going.
And he says,
"Well, the opposite way
that you're going."
And then she said,
"Well, I'm sorry,
"because we have
all the same
classes together."
Then he says,
"What'd I do to deserve this?"
Then she said,
"Let me think.
"Remember the time
we were on the Ferris wheel,
"and you, like,
talked about how..."
(SPEAKING INDISTINCTLY)
doing, Luke?
We're camping out tonight.
Ah!
Perkins' backyard.
Well, good luck.
We'll be at the Clancy's
if you need some backup.
Thanks.
Are you set for school?
I'm all set.
What about clothes?
I was thinking,
the blue striped shirt
with the khakis
your grandmother
brought you...
Would go great
with the word "dork"
stamped on my forehead.
Oh, come on.
It wouldn't hurt to look nice
on your first day of school.
First day
of middle school, Mom.
And, yeah,
it would hurt a lot.
-He's right.
-FRANK: We gotta go!
Okay.
Good luck at the talent show,
and if I don't see you before,
I'll put your guitar backstage
after my face-painting shift.
Okay. Bye, Mom.
You must be
really nervous, huh?
Why would I be nervous?
Maybe because
the whole town
is going to be there.
If you screw up,
that will be the most
embarrassing thing ever.
Well, we're not gonna
screw up, okay?
I hope not,
for your sake,
because in middle school,
guys like Meat will
"Henderson" incoming
wise guys like you.
That's such a myth.
Really?
When was the last time
you saw Chris Henderson?
-He moved.
-So they say.
Although, the last time
anyone saw him,
he was going
into the boys' bathroom.
Well, my back's covered.
(SCOFFS)
By who?
A.J. and Riley?
Please.
Are you guys even
in the same classes?
Oh, then forget
about your back,
because you'll barely
see each other
during the day.
That school is huge,
and even when you do
they'll probably
be too busy hanging out
with their new,
cooler friends anyway.
(EXHALES)
We don't care about cooler.
-Yeah, right.
-"Yeah, right," is right.
(SIGHS) Tomorrow
is the last day of summer.
Did you take all the soda?
Maybe.
Well, give me one.
What do you say?
Please?
Well, I was saving
this for a special treat
later on, but...
Hmm.
You're welcome.
(SCREAMING)
Luke!
(SQUEAKS)
LUKE: It's gonna stink,
no way around it.
I mean,
we get different teachers
for every subject,
and they all give homework
like they're the only
ones giving it,
so we get
five hours a night,
which means
after school is shot,
and the school itself,
it's so huge,
we'll barely
ever see each other.
It's gonna stink.
At least it will be fun
to meet some new kids.
See? It's already started.
What did I say?
You're already talking about
breaking up the group.
-No, I'm not.
-Dude, Steel Monkey is,
like, forever.
Anyway, we can still
see each other
during recess.
There's no recess.
What do you mean
there's no recess?
There is no recess.
So what are we supposed
to do after lunch?
You go back to class.
So all we have is gym?
Actually,
that's called
health science now.
You're kidding.
No gym, no recess.
It sounds like the bathroom
is the only break we get.
(LAUGHING)
What?
(SIGHS) You don't want
to go to the bathroom, dude.
-Why?
-If Meat and his crew catch
you there, it's...
It's what?
Remember Henderson?
Whoa!
I thought that was a myth.
Me too,
until I found out otherwise.
But what if you
really have to go?
Then you really gotta hold it.
-Until we're
in the eighth grade.
-(CHUCKLING)
We still got
one last day of summer...
-Hmm.
-...to max it on everything
worth living for.
So what do you say, fellas,
Steel Monkey to the limit?
ALL: Steel Monkey rules!
(SPEAKING INDISTINCTLY)
But there's only
one thing left to say,
gentlemen.
-What?
-What?
-(FARTING)
-RILEY: That's so rude, dude!
-(GAGGING)
-Must have air.
The zipper's stuck!
(ALL STRUGGLING)
(VENDORS SHOUTING)
-Hey, Mom.
-Hey, sweetie.
Mind if we leave
our stuff here?
-Well, actually...
-Thanks, Mom.
-Thanks, Mrs. Malloy.
-Thanks.
Sure. Have fun.
I heard if you blow chunks
on this, they let you ride
again for free.
Really? Cool.
Okay, super powers.
Would you rather
have super strength
or be able to fly?
Hmm. Fly.
Okay, fly or become invisible?
That's easy,
nothing beats invisibility.
All right, invisibility
or the ability not
to smell A.J.'s farts?
(LAUGHING)
Oh, look who's
heading our way.
-Hey, guys.
-What's up?
Oh, my God, Sorenson,
what happened?
What?
Oh, I'm sorry,
it's just your natural face.
-Oh!
-(BOYS LAUGHING)
Har, har, har.
You're such a loser, Perkins.
So what's the deal
with Steel Monkey anyway?
There is no deal,
it's the name of our band.
-Hmm.
-Yeah.
But is it steel, the metal,
or steal, like,
ripping something off.
-Both.
-Yeah.
That's appropriate,
because, like you,
that makes no sense.
You know, that hurt.
I heard you guys
are pretty good.
LUKE: Yeah.
So you got Molesky
for homeroom, too, huh?
Hmm-mm.
I heard if you blow chunks
on this ride,
they'll let you ride
again for free.
-(DORY LAUGHING)
-(SIGHING)
Wow, thanks for the tip,
Malloy.
I hope you puke on loser here
and then do it all
over again for free.
-Good luck tonight.
-I'm sure you'll need it.
-Thanks, appreciate it.
-A.J.: Wacko.
-Why do I ever listen to you?
-What?
Blow chunks,
ride for free!
That's what I heard, dude,
what's your problem?
The problem
is that he likes Alice.
What? No, I don't!
Why do you even hang
out with them?
Girls are so annoying.
I said I don't even like her.
-Okay.
-Sure.
-Whatever you say.
-I don't!
(GROANS)
I don't know.
(ALL GROANING)
(YELLING)
(YELLING)
Wait a minute, Luke,
your diaper's on backwards.
Huh? Really?
(CHUCKLING)
Whoa!
Okay, get ready,
get set,
go!
All right,
stop the applause, guys,
stop the applause.
-(LUKE GROANS)
-In your face!
-Whatever.
-Yeah.
-Maybe Sorenson is right.
-About A.J. being a loser?
(A.J. LAUGHING)
No, maybe we should
debut another night.
What other night?
I don't know,
I just don't think
we're ready for tonight.
Are you kidding?
We've been practicing,
like forever.
You're not chickening out
because of those girls,
are you?
No! It's just...
What if we went
out there and stunk?
Stink compared to what?
I mean, my seven-year-old
cousin and her friend
are doing a tuba duet.
Yeah, but when
they screw up, it's cute.
We screw up, and we're
the biggest losers
in middle school,
and we're not even there yet.
If you're so worried
about screwing up,
just picture
the whole audience naked.
-Mmm.
-Are you kidding?
My parents are gonna be there.
Point taken.
Bad plan. I'm sorry.
Look, Luke,
we just gotta go for it
and that's all there is to it.
Uh, A.J.?
-What?
-You're not gonna eat that,
are you?
Ten-minute rule, dude.
If it's been sitting here
for less than 10 minutes,
you can eat it.
So it's cool.
Scientific fact.
The guy's slobber on the meat
is also a scientific fact.
Oh, and that's why we eat
from the uneaten side.
Like this.
Oh, no.
(MUFFLED) It's so delicious.
You should try some.
It is delicious.
Not that.
Meat and his friends,
4 o'clock.
Your other 4 o'clock.
Come on, stop.
Coming this way.
Hey, you dorks don't mind
if we join you, do you?
(MEAT CHUCKLES)
So you guys are what?
Going into second grade?
(OLDER BOYS LAUGHING)
-(SOFTLY) Sixth.
-No way.
You guys are incoming pukes.
(MEAT LAUGHS)
Well, new school buddies,
you won't mind
sharing some
of your food with us
while we visit?
We're starving.
(OLDER BOYS LAUGHING)
We should get together
like this during
the school year.
Heck, we should
start tomorrow.
Get together,
stuff our faces,
unless you'd rather
we flush yours.
(SOFTLY) Oh, no.
Whoa!
Hold up, little buddy.
You don't want to drop
that cone now, do you?
Give it here.
Whoa!
(GASPS)
There, now you don't
have to worry about it.
(OLDER BOYS LAUGHING)
Now, where were we?
MEAT: Now.
LUKE: I can't believe Meat
already knows us.
RILEY: I guess we just have
to pack double lunches
and a set of nunchucks.
You think since
we'll be feeding them, they'll
let us go to the bathroom?
-Go, Maxine. That's it.
-Okay.
Hey, Maxine,
you gotta keep pedaling.
MAXINE: I don't know
how you do this.
(SCREAMS)
Ouch. Been there.
You all right?
Here you go.
She should've kept pedaling.
MAXINE'S FATHER:
One more time.
(CHEERING)
-Dude's a God.
-He's beyond God.
-What's beyond a God?
-Dude is.
Isn't that so cool?
He makes my face hurt.
RILEY: Huh?
You know,
from all the cool.
Never mind.
ALL: Oh!
(CHEERING)
-What say we go catch
a little ourselves?
-Yeah.
Come on, Luke.
It's no big deal.
You can do it.
We've only got 17 hours
and 33 minutes
of freedom left
and that's if we don't sleep,
so let's go.
All right, all right.
What?
What is the matter this time?
I just felt a twinge
in my calf just as
I was about to take off.
Caught a case
of the chicken fever
is more like it.
Come on, Ri,
show this chicken
how to fly.
Whoa!
Four, five feet, easy.
(LAUGHING)
Dude, that was awesome.
Hey, that was fluid,
little brah, that was fluid.
Thanks, Snake,
you were awesome
over in the bowl.
It's NBD.
The secret's all
in your melon, brah.
Really? What kind?
I mean,
there's cantaloupe,
honeydew...
-(LAUGHING)
-This melon, brah,
this one.
And you gotta be
one with your ride.
Are you fluid?
Oh, yeah,
I'm as fluid as milk.
Well, then roll up over here
and share some skin, brah.
Oh!
You're gonna see this
little pup strutting with
the big dawgs someday, sha?
Let me get that board.
This your sponsor
right here?
One down,
one to go, huh?
What are you talking about?
He's just over
there for a second.
Uh-huh!
What are you
doing here, anyway?
Hanging out.
With who?
Where's Audrey and Stephanie?
I have more than
two friends, unlike you.
Nice helmet, man.
Not like I didn't
warn you, dawg.
Warn you about what?
All right, get on that board,
show us that trick again, man.
Nothing.
(PEOPLE SPEAKING INDISTINCTLY)
Hey, I need a little help
to lift up the tail,
I'll help you out.
Hey, guy. It looks good.
Looking good.
Oh!
Audio check.
(FEEDBACK SOUNDING)
Hello, Walker's Point.
Fifteen minutes
until show time.
Summer's last hurrah!
RILEY:
Oh, come on, Luke.
We will seriously spew
if you're gonna be this way.
Sorry, it's just...
Hey, Luke, according to you,
life basically ends
tomorrow anyway,
so we might as
well go out and rock it.
See in there.
Why does tomorrow
always have to come
anyway, huh?
Why can't it just stay
today for a while?
That's impossible, Luke.
Duh, A.J., it's a wish.
I wish it would just stay
today for a month,
a year, forever.
MAN 1: Yo, a little help,
please.
-Heads up.
-Thanks.
-What do you mean?
-What?
MAN 2: Hey, Harvey.
HARVEY: What?
MAN 2: Never mind.
(DOG BARKING)
LUKE: Uh, what?
(SCREAMING)
What's the matter, man?
-What's wrong?
-What's going on?
I don't know. What?
How should I know?
Well, you were
the one screaming.
Well, yeah.
This doesn't freak you out?
-What?
-All this?
We're in the tent, in the
same clothes, surrounded
by all the same junk.
-And?
-And? What do
you mean, "And?"
We're supposed
to be getting ready
for school right now,
but instead
we're back here.
What's the matter
with you guys?
You don't remember?
No.
We did all this yesterday.
We haven't done
anything today,
so how do you know...
Because today is yesterday.
Then what was yesterday?
-The day before,
which makes tomorrow...
-Today.
Except today
is yesterday, so...
Stop it!
September 1st.
It really is Labor Day again.
Wait a second,
it's coming back to me.
When the aliens came
last night, they did say
something about time warp.
-They did.
-Really?
I don't remember that.
Dude, you're
the one who's warped.
Now go back to bed,
you need it.
(CHUCKLING)
Wait, you guys
are messing with me, right?
By pretending that yesterday
is not today,
when, in fact, it really is?
-Uh-huh.
-Even though
we were both just asleep?
Ah!
Look, we were all sitting
around talking about tomorrow,
and A.J. was getting
all worked up about how
there's no recess
in middle school.
-How can there be no recess?
-There is no recess.
So what are we supposed
to do after lunch?
Go back to class,
I already told you.
-So all we have is gym?
-Actually, that's called
health science now.
You're kidding.
No recess, no gym.
BOTH: Sounds like
the bathroom's
the only break we get.
Whoa.
Cool.
How did you know that?
I've been trying
to tell you guys.
Yesterday,
today, is happening
all over again.
Just like I...
Oh, my gosh.
It came true.
-What did?
-The ultimate do-over.
All right, then.
So what happens next?
(CHIPMUNK SQUEAKS)
Don't ask me,
ask your butt.
(STOMACH RUMBLING)
(FARTING)
Oh, that's so rude,
dude. Air!
The zipper's stuck!
Can't get out!
(GROANING)
Dude, that's horrible
the second time.
A.J.: Enjoy it.
(RILEY SQUEALING)
I heard if you
blow chunks on this,
they let you ride
again for free.
Why would you ride
again after a hurl?
'Cause it's free, duh!
Okay, super powers.
-Would you rather...
-Fly.
-Okay, fly or...
-Nothing beats invisibility.
Except not having
to smell A.J.'s farts.
Look, Luke, I don't know
what you're doing,
but stop it.
I mean it,
you're freaking me out.
-But it's...
-No, I'm serious.
A.J. and I already
talked about it.
It's not funny anymore,
so just stop it.
Please? Okay?
-Okay.
-Good.
I just hope the girls
aren't heading our way.
Oh, look
who's heading our way.
-(GIGGLING)
-Stop it!
Oh, it's cool.
I'll handle this.
-Hey, guys.
-Hey, ladies, how's life
on the Red Planet?
What?
Mars. Come on,
you're not fooling us,
we knew you guys
were really Martians.
What are you talking about?
Why are you acting so weird?
I was just trying...
He thinks today
is some kind of do-over.
-What? No, I don't.
-Yes, you do.
-Do you?
-He does.
You do. Right, A.J.?
You remember
how you freaked out
in the tent this morning?
And you've been acting like
you knew everything
that I was going to...
-Okay.
-And we're the Martians?
Okay, I know it sounds weird.
That's all right.
No need to explain.
-(SIGHS)
-Mr. Wacko.
We gotta be going anyway.
Hope you feel better.
Good luck tonight.
I'm sure you'll need it.
RILEY: Thanks.
-Thanks a lot, guys.
-What'd we do?
You made me look
like a total nut-ball.
And your point is?
What do you expect?
Between this do-over thing
and liking Alice...
What? Are you kidding me?
I just called her a Martian.
Exactly.
What do you mean,
"Exactly"?
Well, in shrink talk,
my folks would say
you're overcompensating.
Meaning, it's normal
to say something stupid
to a girl you like
to show you don't like her,
even though you really do.
That makes no sense.
But neither
does liking a girl, dude.
I don't like her.
I don't, I don't,
I don't, I don't.
What's that word again?
Overcompensating.
Now that's a good one.
A.J.: I don't know.
(GROANING)
(ALL GROANING)
A.J.: Riley.
Get my hand, please.
-Oh, thank you.
-RILEY: I'm falling.
(YELLING)
(YELLING)
Wait a minute, Luke.
Your diaper's on backwards.
Huh? Really?
(SCREAMING)
Ready?
(SCREAMING)
RILEY: Okay, get ready,
get set,
go!
Hold the applause,
hold the applause.
-Whoa!
-Oh, yes!
-He beat you.
-So who won?
We only have one debut,
one time to make
a first impression,
one time to launch
the Steel Monkey legend,
and I just don't think
we're ready
for that critical leap,
you know?
You're over-thinking
this, dude.
We just gotta go for it.
And that's all there is to it.
Why do we have
to sit here anyway?
What do you mean?
It's gross.
Let's go sit
over there.
This is fine.
Lot of meat left
in that burger, eh?
Thinking what I'm thinking?
I say it's been there
six minutes,
seven minutes, max.
And if you eat it...
From the uneaten side,
slobber-free.
Scientific fact.
What are you guys
talking about?
Shh!
(WHISPERING) Keep it down.
Meat and friends
approaching on the right.
Your other right.
Oh!
Hey, you folks don't mind
if we join you, do you?
They're such jerks.
How old are you guys, like,
five, six?
(LAUGHING)
You guys still need
your mommies?
What should we do?
We could go over there
and get out butts kicked.
Gotta do something.
No. Let's leave before
they decide to join us.
(MEAT AND FRIENDS BOOING)
Look at you,
you're about to cry.
-Wait.
-Oh!
If it makes you feel
any better,
he was gonna take it anyway.
You're so dead, dude.
Me? Why?
-Come on, man!
-Split up!
LOLA: Hey, you barnacles!
Don't worry, don't worry,
I do not pinch.
I am a politically-correct
crustacean.
Unless you got
a pot of boiling water,
then I'm scared.
Hold on there
to your britches, Captain.
Don't you see these
minnows crossing?
You don't want to step
on one of them,
do you?
Oh! You know what?
Come over here.
Come over here.
Lay a little claw on
this old crustacean,
would you?
I think I got something
stuck up...
Come on.
Ah! Gotcha!
That's an old
arthropod joke, sir.
Land-lubbers...
What you gonna do?
Okay, so who's having fun?
Come on!
All clear!
Thank you,
talking lobster lady.
Over there.
AUDREY: Hey, Luke.
Hi, Audrey.
Is your sister around?
No, she's at the skate park
with Snake and those guys.
-Oh.
-Huh.
Okay. Well,
tell her we said hi.
-Over there, man.
-There he is.
Man, I can't believe
that little puke got away.
Don't worry, we'll get him.
If not here,
then tomorrow at school.
-In the bathroom.
-BOY: Yes.
-You wanna Henderson him?
-Good idea.
(SIGHS)
ALICE: What?
Sorry. I was just
looking for something.
So do you speak Martian
or would you
rather talk in English?
I have a sister,
so, you know,
I can go either way.
So you got Molesky
for homeroom, too, huh?
-Yeah.
-Me, too.
You just said that.
Sort of.
Well, my Martian's
a little rusty.
Uh...
You know, I heard if you
connect the moles
on Mr. Molesky's face,
it looks like the
State of Idaho,
which is the state
of famous potatoes.
And who's the most
famous potato?
Mr. Potato Head.
Get it?
All Mr. Molesky needs
is one of those
little derby hats and...
-(CLEARING THROAT)
-What's the matter?
MOLESKY: Nothing at all.
Mr., uh...
What are you staring at?
-Idaho.
-What did you say?
I said,
I don't know, sir.
Good thing you have
a sense of humor, Mr...
-Malloy.
-Malloy.
Because starting tomorrow,
you're gonna need it.
You're toast, Malloy.
LUKE: I will not be a dork.
I will not be a dork.
I will not be a dork.
I am one with my ride.
I am one with my ride.
I am one with my ride.
Okay, it's now or never.
It's now or never.
Yo, there's a guppy
in the bowl.
Get the stretcher.
Go, will you?
Take your spill
and then get out of my way.
We got a Dawg Pound
try-out here.
-You can try out
for the Pound?
-Invitation only, dude.
Hey, Snake,
tell this kid
to take his tumble.
I'm ready to shred.
Hey, just chill, brah.
Relax.
Little dawg,
is this your first drop?
(CROWD HOOTING)
-Word of advice.
-Be one with my ride?
Yes! Oh-ho!
L-dawg's been
carving into my melon!
How did you know
I was gonna say that?
Irie, now be your ride,
all right?
Come on.
Are you crazy, Luke?
You're gonna die!
Hey, just let him be, brah.
Just let him be.
Irie. The moment of vengeance
shines upon us, people!
(CROWD HOOTING)
-Yeah!
-Whoo-hoo!
Let's get down to business.
Come on.
(SCREAMING)
Ugh!
(ALL GROANING)
Oh!
-Uh!
-It's okay.
That was, like,
so awesome, dude.
ALL: Oh!
L-dawg, you were like
a seven with your ride,
which, if you do the math,
is like six too many.
It's a little more
L-spaz than L-dawg.
(ALL LAUGHING)
Step aside.
Are you all right, dude?
I suppose, in a completely
humiliating
sort of way, yeah.
A.J.: Hey,
like Snake was saying...
Actually, I didn't understand
a word he said.
-But you tried.
-Yeah.
Even if it was a...
(BOTH SCREAMING)
BOTH: Oh!
Hey. That was
crazy stupid, L-dawg.
(INAUDIBLE)
Oh!
GIRL: Hey!
(SIGHS)
What is it with jerks
like Meat, huh?
What makes them
so mean?
Well, my folks just say,
"He's probably a nice,
sweet kid who's just insecure.
"Chances are
his home life's a mess,
"causing feelings
of anger and frustration."
-That's why he bullies
little kids like us.
-(MUMBLES)
It gives him a false
sense of empowerment,
which, if not addressed,
could possibly
lead to a life of crime.
Oh!
Now you know what
my family dinners are like.
So does it work?
I mean,
talking about it like that?
Well, that's what
they get paid for.
Hello, Walker's Point.
Fifteen minutes
until show time.
(IMITATING ELVIS PRESLEY)
Thank you.
Thank you very much.
So what advice
would your parents give
for someone who's afraid
he's gonna get taken out.
What do you mean,
"Taken out"?
Yeah, 'cause chicken out
is more like it.
-It's not that.
-Then who's gonna
take you out?
-Harvey.
-Harvey?
That guy.
-But it first starts out
with the Frisbee.
-What Frisbee?
-This one.
-MAN 1: Yo, a little help,
please.
-Only this time
when the guy yells...
-MAN 2: Hey, Harvey.
-HARVEY: What?
-I'll duck.
-MAN 2: Never mind.
-Ta-da! (GROANS)
LUKE: Let's just get this
over with, okay?
There's no more recess,
you go back
to class after lunch.
A.J.: What are you
talking about?
LUKE: Gym's called
health science,
you have to hold it
until eighth grade
and Meat'll "Henderson" you.
And, no,
it's not just a myth.
Now can we start the day?
Oh,
except one more thing.
RILEY: What?
LUKE: A.J., if you please.
(FARTING)
(GROANING)
RILEY: Oh,
that's so rude, dude!
-Must have air.
-(GIGGLING)
I can't believe
summer's almost over.
Uh, dude,
don't remind us about school.
Hey, maybe tomorrow
won't happen.
Yeah. And maybe this ride
will suddenly whip
around and be fun,
like the ride
we should have gone on.
How'd you talk us
into this anyway?
Well, I seem to be stuck
in this day-long
do-over time warp,
so I decided to,
you know,
switch things up a bit.
Did you know that
"stool" is another
word for turd?
-What?
-What?
Seriously.
I was at the doctor's office
and this nurse asked a guy
for a stool sample.
And I'm thinking,
"Metal or wood?"
But then the guy hands
him a tiny steamer.
-Seriously? Are you kidding?
-Oh-ho, no way!
Yeah.
So what'd the guy do,
just leave it on
the counter or something?
No. It was, like,
little plastic containers.
You know the one
they put the pills in?
How does someone
take a dump
in a pill container?
I have no clue.
Just aim and fire,
I guess.
What's so funny, Perkins?
Let's see.
That time at lunch
when you squeezed
cherry yogurt out your nose,
-that was funny.
-Yeah, that was funny.
And, of course,
there's your face.
ALL: Oh!
Har, har,
you're such a loser, Perkins.
Nice, dude.
Hey, you guys want
something to drink?
ALL: No!
-Too bad.
-Open wide.
ALL: Oh!
No!
You're so dead, Sorenson.
(LUKE LAUGHING)
What's so funny?
Come on, guys,
you got them, they got us.
What's that
supposed to mean?
It's a tie?
Against the girls?
(CHUCKLES)
You want?
You're kidding, right?
Just wish me luck.
What for?
Hey, you guys don't mind
if we join you, do you?
LUKE: No, please sit down.
We were hoping
you guys would stop by.
Well,
then I guess this
is your lucky day.
(MEAT LAUGHING)
Hey, you wouldn't mind
sharing some of your
food while we visit?
No, please dig in.
Uh, so, Meat...
Mind if I call you Meat?
Would you rather me call you
something else?
Mr. Meat, perhaps?
How about I rip the tongue
out of your head
and you won't
have to worry about
calling me anything?
-Uh.
-Hey.
You should look at me
when I'm talking to you.
What did you say to me?
Hey, I know manners
aren't taught
in broken homes
like yours, so...
Whoa, whoa. Broken?
What are you talking about?
-Your parents
don't live together...
-Whoa, whoa.
-Yes, they do.
-Are you sure?
(CHUCKLES)
Of course you're sure.
Hey, I'm just trying
to start a dialogue here.
To let you know
that we know
that bullying kids like us
gives you a false sense of...
What's the word?
You talking to me?
I hardly know this guy, Luke.
If that is his real name.
Listen, dog breath,
one more word out of you
and I'm gonna
send you to tomorrow.
Actually, that's harder
than you think.
Okay.
Come on, Meat, I'm...
You're probably a nice kid
stuck in a big jerk's body.
-Ooh!
-LUKE: Shh!
I'm just trying to save you
from a...
From a life of crime.
Let's go!
-LUKE: Split up!
-Get them.
I can't believe that
little puke got away.
MEAT: Don't worry,
we'll get him.
If not here,
then tomorrow at school.
In the bathroom.
-Oh, yes. You wanna
"Henderson" him?
-Good idea.
Okay.
Hi, Alice.
Hey.
'Sup?
(SPEAKING SPANISH)
Yo, baby.
MOLESKY:
And a "yo" to you, Mr...
-Malloy.
-Malloy.
Though I prefer the salutation
"Mr. Molesky" to "babe."
-I wasn't calling you...
-Relax, Mr. Malloy,
I was just dealing
you the dozens.
(CHUCKLES)
Sir?
Filling your sails.
Giving you the old T-step,
two-step,
the Molesky shuffle.
I doth turneth your crank.
I was kidding, dude.
Oh!
See you tomorrow.
MAXINE'S FATHER:
Okay, here we go, Maxine.
That's it. All right.
I can do this. I can do this.
Keep looking. I can do this.
(MAXINE SCREAMS)
Ooh!
Are you all right?
Are you crazy, Luke?
You're gonna die!
Hey, just let him be, brah.
Just let him be. Irie.
You should listen
to your buddy.
It's fluid, dawg.
It's all fluid.
Whoa!
Listen to the cho, brah!
(WHOOPING)
SNAKE: Hey,
that's irie, L-dawg.
Moment of vengeance
shines upon us.
(CHEERING)
Yeah!
Ah!
Be one with my ride.
Be one with my ride.
Be one with my ride.
Ugh!
(ALL GROANING)
SNAKE: L-dawg.
Drop wasn't a total woofer.
But on the face
you were more like
a four with your ride,
which, if you do
the math, is like...
Three too many.
You been tapping
my blog, brah?
Come on! What?
Hey, very few dawgs
shred on the virgin drop.
You just gotta keep rolling
and keep spilling
till those wheels stick
to the plumbing.
-Sha?
-ALL: Sha!
Thanks, Snake, I will.
De nada, L-dawg,
de nada.
I can't believe you did it.
That was the coolest thing
I've ever seen you do.
-De nada, dawgs, de nada.
-Hey.
-That was crazy stupid, brah.
-Thanks.
Hey, Audrey and Stephanie
were looking for you.
What did you tell them?
I just said you were here.
How did you know
I was here?
I...just did.
Well, there's no law that says
I have to hang out
with them all the time.
Hey, hey, hey.
I was just giving you
the message,
not trying to arrest you.
Good.
First Meat, then the pipe,
what's up with
the death wish, dude?
Empowerment.
That's the word
I was looking for.
No, that's more like suicide.
No, no, no, no.
I tried to get Meat to realize
that bullying kids like us
gave him a false sense
of empowerment.
You sound like my parents.
The only way to deal
with a psycho nutjob
like Meat
is to kick his butt.
Yes.
Now he tells me.
(FEEDBACK SOUNDING)
Hello, Walker's Point.
Fifteen minutes
until show time.
Summer's last hurrah!
Pain. Humiliation.
Pain...
What the heck
are you doing?
Humiliation it is.
It's hard to explain,
but it first starts out
with this Frisbee.
MAN 1: Yo, a little help,
please.
-Heads up.
-Thanks.
-MAN 2: Hey, Harvey.
-HARVEY: What?
-MAN 2: Never mind.
-Oh, yeah.
Now, you go, Harvey.
Oh, yeah.
MAN 1: Yo, a little help,
please.
(LUKE SIGHS)
-Heads up.
-Thanks.
-MAN 2: Hey, Harvey.
-HARVEY: What?
-MAN 2: Never mind.
-Yeah.
You go, Harvey.
Whoo!
Whoa.
(STRUMMING AIR GUITAR)
-MAN 3: Hey, look out!
-(GASPS)
Come on, Luke,
we're about to go on.
What are you doing?
Looking for an answer.
Well, what's the question?
Am I the butt
of some cosmic prank
being played out
by forces beyond
my control?
Hmm.
(CHUCKLING)
-MAN: Hey, Harvey.
-What?
(GROANS)
MAN: Never mind.
(METEOR WHISTLING)
-A.J.: There's only one
thing left to say.
-RILEY: What?
A.J.: Luke,
what are you doing?
LUKE: Playing fact or fiction.
(STRIKING MATCH)
-(FARTING)
-(EXPLODES)
(GIGGLING)
(BOYS COUGHING)
RILEY: Ew, that's so rude.
LUKE: It's a fact.
A.J.: Sit down, enjoy it.
(GROANING)
Let's go find Luke.
Shoot.
Hey.
Hi.
-Um, I'm alone.
-Oh! Then what
are you doing here?
I was just checking out
the butterflies.
-You?
-I love butterflies.
Do you collect them?
No, I like them better alive.
They probably like that, too.
Yeah.
-So have you seen them?
-Seen who?
The butterflies.
Uh...
You gotta check this out.
Wait. Close your eyes.
Trust me.
Okay, open them.
Whoa, this is like
the coolest thing
I've ever seen.
Where'd they all come from?
Mr. Molesky.
This whole thing
is his exhibit.
Really? Wow.
And tomorrow he's bringing
our class back here
for the release.
-He's gonna let them all go?
-Mmm-hmm.
He does it every year.
I heard that
it first starts out
with this little speech
he does
about how all the butterflies
are getting ready
to take flight
and how it's a new beginning
and blah, blah, blah.
But then,
when he opens this thing up,
this cloud of butterflies
comes flying out.
It'll be so cool.
They like you.
Great. I guess.
Oh, it's a good thing.
-Aren't you scared at all?
-About the butterflies?
No, tomorrow.
Middle school.
Oh.
A little, yeah.
I mean, I'm nervous,
but who isn't, you know?
Well, I'll see you later.
Wait.
Why is it a good thing
that they like me?
Well, some people believe
butterflies are more
than just insects,
that there's something
magical about them.
Do you believe that?
Why not?
I'll... I'll see you later.
Later?
At the talent show.
-You guys are still playing,
aren't you?
-Oh, yeah.
Oh, yeah.
(CHUCKLES)
You're so cool
performing in front
of all those people.
Now that would scare me.
Good luck.
(ALL GROANING)
Oh!
(ALL GROANING)
-Hi, Mom.
-Hi, hon.
Can I talk to you
for a moment?
Sure.
Let me just finish up here.
It's important.
-Oh, go ahead, don't mind me.
-Thanks.
Come here, sweetie.
You see, a while ago
I sort of wished
for a do-over day,
and, lucky me,
it happened.
Oh, I see.
-Well, that's wonderful, dear.
-Not anymore.
I'm stuck in this day
and I don't know what to do.
Did you get
much sleep last night?
It's not about that.
-You'd be surprised...
-Mom,
you're not understanding me.
Well, we mothers never do,
do we?
-It's not like that.
-It's as if we were
never kids ourselves.
Look, I really need to talk
to my mother here, okay?
By all means.
I wonder what he wants.
I don't know how else
to explain this,
but for me,
there's no tomorrow.
Aw!
Wow, you can see the future.
You must know my son Melvin.
He's in eighth grade
and knows everything, too.
I don't know him.
Of course you do.
Come on now.
He's big for his age.
He always wears black.
Chains, leather-studded belt?
Just a phase.
Yeah, if you're
a budding psychopath.
-Luke.
-Is that jealousy
rearing its ugly head?
-Jealousy? Are you kidding?
-Luke Malloy.
-What has gotten into you?
-I've been trying to tell you.
But never mind.
Luke.
LUKE: Oh, no. Not again.
Let's just get this
over with, okay?
(FARTING)
(MUFFLED LAUGHTER)
Ugh!
(BEEPING)
One, two, three,
testing, one, two. Nice.
Just give me a minute, guys.
(SIGHS)
Hello?
LUKE: Hey, buddy, you mind?
I'm working under this one.
Just kidding, meatball.
-Who's down there?
-It's your old buddy...
Henderson.
And you know where
I'm coming from.
What are you doing down there?
(ENGINE STARTS)
What's going on?
What do you want?
An eye for an eye,
meathead.
A taste of your own medicine.
(WHISTLING)
Whoa, whoa, wait. Hey, hey.
Can we talk about this?
(SCREAMS)
(MEAT SHOUTING)
MAN: Is somebody
in there or what?
Hang on.
-Hi, Mom.
-Hi, hon.
A.J. and Riley
were here a moment ago.
They said they've been
looking for you all day.
Oh, uh...
I'll catch up with them later.
I've got a message
for the lady here.
Your son Melvin wanted me
to tell you he feels like...
(BLOWS RASPBERRY)
He's over
by the porta-potties.
You might want
to bring a hose.
Hey, Luke.
-Hey.
-Is your sister around?
No, she's at the skate park.
Ah!
Okay. Well, um,
just tell her we said hi.
Sure.
Hey.
Do you wanna know
the secret to riding a bike?
-Yeah.
-Be one with your ride.
-And keep pedaling.
-What do you mean?
Come here.
Now we're gonna start.
When I let go,
you're gonna keep pedaling.
You'll find your balance,
but only if you
keep going forward.
Keep going for it?
Exactly,
keep going for it.
Hop on.
-So what are you gonna do?
-Keep pedaling?
-And?
-Keep going for it?
-Couldn't hear you.
-Go for it.
I'm sorry,
did you say something?
I'm going to keep pedaling.
Oh, geez, I must have
something stuck in my ear,
'cause I can't hear you.
Keep pedaling
and go for it!
Yeah, Maxine, way to...
-(SCREAMS)
-Oh!
-I did it.
-Yeah, you did.
I'll try to remind
you tomorrow.
I won't forget,
I promise.
Oh, yes, you will.
I promise.
Hey, there he is. Luke!
Oh, 'sup, dawgs?
What do you mean,
"'Sup, dawgs"?
We've been looking
for you all day.
Sorry, I'm just sick
of the rides.
What?
I mean,
I didn't feel well,
so the rides would've
made me sicker.
-You know?
-Yeah.
-Right.
-Mmm-hmm.
Okay.
Anyway, I gotta go.
What?
Where are you going now?
To the bowl.
Are you kidding, Luke?
You're gonna die!
Not today, brah,
not today.
Did he just call me
a "brah"?
I think so.
Yo, there's a guppy
in the bowl.
Get the stretcher.
(CROWD LAUGHING)
Funny, brah.
Truly hysterical.
Hey, just take your spill
and get out of my way.
I'll go when I'm ready.
Hey, Snake!
Tell this kid
to take his tumble.
I'm ready to shred.
So am I.
ALL: Oh!
What you saying there,
ese- brah.
I'm saying I wanna
shred the plumbing
so I can roll with
the Pound. You fluid?
Irie, L-dawg.
We're fluid el mucho, boy!
Come on, Snake.
This is a joke.
You shaking, dawg?
Ooh!
(ALL HOOTING)
Well, well, well.
Apparently ese -brah
here is throwing down.
-Are you rolling
or running, dawg?
-What?
You mean I'm competing
against this little squirt?
Is there a problem, dawg?
Then let there be shred.
He's lost his mind.
He did say he was sick.
I hope you enjoyed
yourself there,
because in addition to pain,
you're gonna
be humiliated, too.
Good luck.
(SPARSE APPLAUSE)
Cool.
That was so awesome!
Whatever.
(CHEERING)
Bring it.
SNAKE: Oh, my God!
Who is that little dawg?
That's my brother.
How come you never told me
about your micro-brah, babe?
Maybe because
we've never
actually talked before.
Oh, sha.
Now it's on, brah.
Good.
Oh, my God!
Yes!
Pack it in, squirt.
I know what you got left,
and it's called nada.
Woo!
ALL: Oh!
RILEY: Way to go, Luke!
You rule!
You're the man, Luke.
You were so awesome.
You were unbelievable, dude.
Hey, Tinker-brah!
Fire hither and share some
skin with your new peeps
in the Pound, huh?
BOY: Yeah.
What are you doing?
Poodle-pup,
just relax, all right?
Micro-maestro is rolling
with the big dawgs now,
you fluid?
Yo, it's cool, dawgs.
I'll catch you guys
on the flip side.
-Yeah!
-I told you this kid is...
What the heck?
Forget him.
Let's just get out of here.
Welcome to my Pound, brah.
What are you
talking about?
Well, I'm talking about
the L-dawg here
flying the colors
and living the code, babe.
-He's 11.
-So what?
-So?
-So you're too young.
You shouldn't even be here.
Why aren't you
with your friends?
Why aren't you with yours?
Hey, hey, guys,
just let there be chill,
all right?
It's never too early
to start living the
three "N's," my friend.
-What's that?
-Well, that's
"hangin'," "ridin'"
-and "partyin'."
-(ALL WHOOPING)
-That's all you guys do?
-SNAKE: Sha!
We do other stuff, too.
Like...
Videoing ourselves ridin'
and watching it
while we party!
What's up, dawgs?
Where are your friends, brah?
What? You're my friends.
Wow. I hate to see
how you treat your enemies.
What are you talking about?
Are you kidding?
First, you ditch us.
And then when we finally
catch up with you,
you blow us off.
But Snake called me over.
Well, whoop-dee-doo.
-Come on.
-Fluid, brah, fluid.
Where'd you learn
how to skateboard like that?
You said you'd never
been in a bowl,
yet you've been flying
and twisting around like
you've been doing it forever.
It's hard to explain.
No, it's not, Luke.
It's called lying.
I didn't lie.
Come on, guys,
you gotta believe me.
It's too late for that, dude.
You're on your own.
A.J., it's your turn.
I got a bonus.
RILEY: Oh!
RILEY: Yo, you up?
A.J.: (YAWNING)
I am now.
RILEY: Where's Luke?
A.J.: Dude,
you just woke me up.
How should I know?
Hey.
Hey. What are you doing here?
Gotta stay
in shape for soccer.
What's the matter?
Nothing. I'm all right.
You're not upset
'cause you're such
a big dork, are you?
Look who's talking.
Yeah?
So what happened?
I thought you
were at A.J's.
Remember this?
Sure. Pinky swear.
I swear to you
I'm going to tell
you the truth, Di.
Okay?
You know
my Ted Williams card?
It's worth a lot of money.
And if I'm lying,
you can have it.
Okay,
you've got my attention.
So what's up?
I've been living the same
day again and again
for I don't know how long.
Today?
I'm actually dying
to go to school,
even if I can't go
to the bathroom
for two years
or get face-flushed
by Meat.
-Where you going?
-To get your
Ted Williams card.
Fine. Have fun today.
Running with the Dawg Pound,
living the three N's.
Irie, sha.
Have you been spying on me?
No, but I've seen you
at the skate park
at least 100 times.
Come on, Di,
you gotta believe me.
Come on! Luke, this is crazy.
I know, I know.
Please,
give me a chance.
All right. Prove it.
Okay.
Hey, man! Yeah.
How's it going?
Two words.
Purple thong.
(CROWD LAUGHING)
-MAN: It's okay.
-(MUFFLED) Ew!
Yellow balloon.
KID: Mommy, my balloon!
Triple fives.
WOMAN: Oh, that's it.
MAN: The winner, triple five.
Pink pig.
GIRL: The pink pig.
Big hug.
(SQUEALING IN EXCITEMENT)
That was pretty random,
don't you think?
Here, take one.
-Thanks.
-You're welcome.
(DIANA READING)
MEAT: Get out of
my way, kid.
Hey, Meat.
Or should I say Melvin?
-(LAUGHING)
Who's Melvin?
-Shut up!
Who told you that?
Hey, back off
or the whole middle
school will know by
second period tomorrow.
Okay. Take it easy, kid.
My name's not "kid."
It's Luke. Luke Malloy.
Okay, Luke. Be cool.
Sure.
Practice this,
and your secret's
safe with me.
up and going in a snap.
Can't believe the Net, dude.
Okay.
I'll be watching, Melv.
Okay.
So how am I doing?
-Can I keep Ted Williams?
-Yeah.
A water?
Fry?
At this point, I'd rather
gnaw on my arm
than eat another French fry
or drink another soda.
Well, that officially
removes my last shred
of doubt.
How'd you get
yourself into this?
I wished for it.
-Why?
-Why not?
I didn't want
summer to end.
(SCOFFS) That's it?
Or school to begin.
I mean, you've been
through middle school.
Yeah. And?
It's just gonna be
so much different.
So many new kids,
which changes
the whole friendship thing.
And where being
cool matters more than
if you've been
best buds forever.
Are A.J. and Riley acting
like you're not cool enough?
Or too cool.
Depends on the day.
Why do you think
A.J. and Riley will
suddenly care about your, um,
degree of coolness?
You told me they would.
Oh!
I was just
winding you up.
I know,
but it happened.
What do you mean?
Audrey and Stephanie?
-We're still friends.
-Not like you were.
I see them every day.
And when I tell them
you're at the skate park,
they give
each other this look
like you've moved on.
And that's what
I'm afraid of.
You're such a dork.
Well, thanks for
the pep talk.
But you're a cool dork, Luke.
You're either cool
or you're a dork.
How can you be
a cool dork?
Well, you're honest
with yourself,
to your buddies,
even with me.
That sounds like
the dork part.
No, that's the cool part.
Being my little brother
is the dork part.
-So if I were you,
I would just quit worrying...
-Hey, Luke.
...and go for it.
Like with that girl
that just walked by.
Who?
You mean Alice?
You like her, don't you?
She's okay.
Well, have you
told her she's okay?
I think she knows.
So you've been
repeating this day
over and over
and you still
haven't told her?
-Hey, it's not easy.
-Well, exactly.
But you know what?
Girls love to be
told that stuff.
Even if they're being
told by cool dorks?
Especially if they are.
What's the matter?
This is great, Di.
Really. It's just...
I'm afraid
I'll wake up tomorrow
and have to do it
all over again.
Well, maybe
it'll be different this time.
You've already changed my day.
Now, go change yours.
MOLESKY:
Have fun and enjoy
the rest of the exhibit.
-Mr. Molesky?
-Yes.
Uh, not to be too much
of a brown-nose moth,
but I'm really looking forward
to class tomorrow.
And, actually,
it's a brown-tail moth.
I know,
I'm just baggin' on you.
Pulling your chain.
Busting your chops.
I'm kidding, dude.
Good one. Good one.
I'll see you in class.
-Hi, Alice.
-Hey.
It's just me.
Oh, then
what are you doing here?
I like butterflies.
There's just something
about them
that makes me feel good.
I know what you mean.
I heard about
the release tomorrow.
Bet that will be cool, huh?
I can't wait.
Don't be nervous
about the butterflies,
they like you.
Oh, it's not the butterflies
on the outside,
it's the butterflies
on the inside.
Talent show, huh?
No.
Well...
There was another
reason I came in here.
Because I want to see you.
And tell you that
I'm really glad
that we're in the same
class this year.
Me, too.
Really?
Cool.
Well, see you.
Good luck.

Summer's last hurrah!
(IMITATING ELVIS PRESLEY)
Thank you very much.
Thank you.
Thank you very much.
Oh!
Come on, Luke.
We will seriously spew
if you're gonna be this way.
It's not what you think.
For the first time
in a long time,
I'm ready to rock.
Uh!
Whatever works.
MAN 1: Yo,
a little help, please.
-The problem is...
-Thanks.
...I won't be around
to find out. See?
Harvey.
See what?
(TUBAS PLAYING)
You never said
your cousin
was a tuba prodigy.
I didn't even know
there was such a thing.
Oh, man. Ooh!
(BICYCLE BELL RINGING)
Hey.
Hey.
Thanks for teaching
me the secret.
I can really do it now.
-You remember?
-Sure.
What's the matter?
Remember how you felt
before you could ride?
Yeah.
That's how I feel now.
Well, keep pedaling.
Right?
Right.
See you.
Yeah.
(CHEERING)
Well! You got to feel
a little sorry
for the act that has to follow
that terrific trough
of tuba talent.
(LOLA LAUGHING)
Next up, Steel Monkey!
Great job.
Is that steel,
like in the metal,
or, like, steal like
in ripping something off?
(LAUGHING)
Well, gotta go
back to my cave.
What are we gonna do?
-I don't know,
but we can't play without...
-Let's go, guys.
Where the heck
have you been?
Freaking out.
But then I remembered
we're in this together,
right?
ALL: Steel Monkey rules!
Here we go.
(FEEDBACK SQUEALING)
(AUDIENCE LAUGHING)
Oh, man.
(FEEDBACK SQUEALING)
MAN: There we go, buddy.
There you go.
MAN: Let's hear it!
WOMAN: Let's go!
-Go, Luke!
-Here we go, kid.
You got this.
Come on, guys. Let's go!
Luke!
You can do it!
-Go, Luke!
-Yeah.
DIANA: You can do it.

the end of summer

(AUDIENCE CHEERING)
(LAUGHING)
This the greatest or what?
This is the best day ever.
(SCREAMING)
(AUDIENCE GROANING)
Hey, look who's up.
Here, drink this.
Special treat.
I didn't shake it up.
That would not
have been kind,
although it definitely
would have been random.
Anyway, I have
to go meet Audrey
and Stephanie.
Thanks.
How you feeling,
sweetheart?
A little drowsy.
Today is...
Your last day of summer.
(SIGHS)
Of course,
it's everyone else's
first day of school.
The festival? It's over?
Yeah, you certainly
ended it with a bang
when that chipmunk came down
and landed on your head,
and then you
fell off the stage...
We performed?
Well, you really
did bang your head.
You guys were
the hit of the show.
You don't remember that?
Wow.
You've got
some visitors here,
if you're up for it.
Sure.
Come on in, boys.
-Not too long, okay?
-Yes, Mrs. Malloy.
-Hey.
-How you doing?
Good. Actually, great.
By the way,
Alice told me
to tell you hello.
-What's up with that, dude?
-Back off, man.
He has a head injury.
We'll give him grief later.
(LAUGHS)
You won't believe
what happened at school today.
RILEY: It was amazing.
I'm walking down the hall,
I'm looking for our classes,
and I accidentally bumped into
this very large dude.
He was huge!
-With a lot of facial hair.
-And nasty teeth.
Dude definitely stayed back
a couple of years.
Yeah.
But I accidentally
knocked down his books
and the dude
looks at me like...
He's definitely gonna die.
But before he says anything...
Or kicks his butt.
...guess who comes
to my rescue?
Meat.
-He's psychic.
-How'd you know?
Wild guess.
Well, anyway.
He tells the guy to chill
and, of course, he does,
and he helps me
pick up the books.
It was nice,
but so random.
Very.
Then after that I saw Sorenson
and she asks me
where I'm going.
And he says,
"Well, the opposite way
that you're going."
And then she said,
"Well, I'm sorry,
"because we have
all the same
classes together."
Then he says,
"What'd I do to deserve this?"
Then she said,
"Let me think.
"Remember the time
we were on the Ferris wheel,
"and you, like,
talked about how..."
