Up and they Mate in the sand.

It'll slip through Your fingers.

-[charlie laughing]

Coolest thing about Grunions are?

They mate without even Touching each other.

-how do they do that?

-well, the female, She washes up on shore

And she lays her eggs.

Then, the male, he comes up And he fertilizes the eggs.

On the next wave, they Both wash back out to sea

And they leave Their eggs behind

To be little Grunion babies.

-I can't believe they Never touch each other.

-it's pretty weird, huh?

-[girls laughing]

-I'm sure glad I'm not a grunion.

Charlie is not at baywatch Because I feel sorry for him.

He's here because We like him.

-well, it's just that he Can kind of bring you down.

-not me, your Brother inspires me.

He reminds me what Courage is all about.

Your mom told me he Came down to ucla

To undergo tests Because maybe just maybe

He could save Another child's life.

To me, that qualifies Him as a hero.

Now, if he wants to hang Out in a call car or a tower

Or check out a surf Ski, that's fine by me.

Of the hospital instead of At home with his friends

Because he wanted to Make a difference.

I'm sorry.

-charlie did Make a difference.

Not only 'cause he allowed The doctors to do research

To help find the gene that Caused this rare form of cancer,

But because of charlie, Other children will live.

You see, in his own way, Charlie was a lifeguard.

Charlie is still Saving lives.

Charlie made a big difference To all of us here at baywatch.

Just by spending Time with us.

Just by being charlie.

We will never forget His enthusiasm for life,

His will to live,

And that smile,

That wonderful smile.

Charlie, pal, believe me,

You made a difference, A big difference

And we are glad that You could be here.
