(Roy narrating) Of the last six places I've lived

Montana was the best.

The snow-covered peaks

the rolling valleys, the beautiful rivers.

For the first time in my life

I felt like I was home.

Then, dad dropped the bomb..

...we were moving again.

All the way to Florida.

Mom said it was so sunny and gorgeous

that everybody in America wanted to live there.

Everybody except me.

And as usual, I was out-voted.

My parents gave me the same old pitch

about being the new kid in school.

Mom said I'd make new friends.

They promised I'd love it there.

(male #1) 'Get him, dude!'

[groaning]

Had enough, huh, cowgirl?

Hmm? Had enough?

Yeah.

(Dana) 'I can't hear you, Tex.'

[groaning]

[gasping]

[mellow music]

- Had enough? - 'Harder.'

- Tex? - Yeah, okay? I had enough.

Good.

Allow me to be the first to welcome you to Coconut Cove.

[indistinct chattering]

(Dana) 'Who's the bad man now?'

(Dana) 'Who? Who?'

(Delinko) 'One-Baker-six responding.'

'We're getting a Mother Paula's here.'

- 'How about that?' - About time you showed up.

'Oh, yeah, sorry.'

I was dealing with a 443 over on twelfth street

that eventually turned into a 961.

Took some time to button it up.

Uh-huh.

Don't you, uh, want to know what a 443 is?

No, I do not.

I want you to deal with this, here.

Okay.

They yanked up my survey stakes. Filled every one of them in.

They must've snuck in last night or early today.

Can you give me a monetary estimate on the damage?

What are you talkin' about?

For this to be vandalism, there must be some monetary damage.

Like, something has to be broken or defaced.

Otherwise, I dunno what to say about your stakes.

It ain't about the darn stakes!

It's screwin' up our entire construction schedule.

I've got to resurvey the site

before we start clearin' and gradin'.

I understand, I'm keeping my eyes and ears open

I'll talk to my people on the streets and fix this.

Whatever.

I'm gonna do the best I can, okay?

Fine.

'What's the deal with these holes?'

They're holes, alright?

Now come on. I ain't got all day.

[owl hooting]

[mellow music]

(Roy) 'Every new school is different'

'but somehow they seem the same.'

[bell ringing]

'And day one was never my favorite.'

(Male #2) 'Good job, Nancy. Excellent, Zack. Alright.'

And that was a great job with Chapter 5

which logically leads us to Chapter 6.

Tectonic Plates and the Ocean Floor.

I hope you have your books. Open them to Chapter 6.

Yes?

You must be Mr. Eberhardt, from..

...let me guess..

Montana.

[everyone laughing]

Welcome to Marine Studies. I'm Mr. Ryan. Have a seat.

- Thanks. - Where was I?

Chapter 6, Ocean Topography.

(male #3) 'Howdy, partner? Looks like Woody from Toy Story.'

Hey. I-I saw what happened on the bus this morning.

Don't take it personally or anything.

Dana screws with the new kids. Just play dead for a couple days

and eventually he'll forget you're alive.

- I'm Garrett. - Roy.

Six schools in the last eight years?

What are you?

In the witness protection program?

Funny, nah.

My dad's work makes us move around a lot.

Are there any other schools around here?

- Why? Sick of this one already? - No, no.

I saw this weird kid on the way to school today

I don't see him here, so I figured he must not go to Trace.

He was running like crazy without shoes on.

Fast. Faster than any kid I've ever seen before.

You've got a psycho bully on your hands.

Maybe you should slow down on the nut-job collecting.

Plus, you know, it's only day one.

[seagulls squawking]

[upbeat music]

* All the cool kids in the back of the bus *

* Rubba dubba scrubba bubba *

* What you talkin' bout Gus *

* Breakin' the rules I hope we don't get caught *

* Sha la la la la la la la la **

Sweet threads.

Thanks.

(Dana) 'Oh.'

N-n-noogie!

Hey, man. Looks like today might be your lucky day.

[sighing]

[upbeat music]

[music continues]

- Where you going, cowgirl? - Dana, let go. I gotta go.

Hold up , cowgirl. You're my little puppet.

Dance, little tomato.

Dance.

[everyone gasping]

No way.

(Roy) 'Gotta go. Out of the way.'

- Ugh. - Watch it.

(Dana) 'He broke my nose! It hurts!'

[mellow music]

(Roy) 'Hey! Slow down.'

[gasping]

[upbeat music]

* Everybody get on your feet *

* You make me nervous when you're in your seat *

* Take off your shoes and pat your feet *

* Doin' a dance that can't be beat *

* Barefootin'*

(Roy) 'Wait up!'

(Roy) 'Where are you going?'

* Barefootin'*

* Yeah, we're barefootin' **

[music continues]

[music continues]

[panting]

- Hey, there's a kid. - Fore!

- 'Fore!' - 'Fore!'

- 'Fore!' - 'Fore!'

Oh, you hit him.

- What club did you use? - Eight iron.

- You alright? - It's only your second day.

This isn't like you.

Why'd you punch this kid?

He was choking me and I was trying to escape.

Well, you broke his nose.

You can't ride the bus for three days.

- I'll ride my bike. -'That's not the point.'

Your principal and I decided

you're gonna write this kid an apology letter.

You gotta be kidding me. Who's gonna help him read it?

[chuckling]

[indistinct chatter]

You nearly knocked me over yesterday. Why were you running?

Maybe because I broke the nose of the meanest kid here.

I heard about that, but that's not why you ran.

- Let go. - Tell the truth.

Ow.

You were chasing somebody, weren't you?

- You saw him too? - Oh, I didn't see anything.

And if you know what's good for you neither did you. Got it?

Mornin'. How you doin'?

I got some actual vandalism to report.

Alright.

This time, they messed with private property.

There you go.

Each tire is worth 150 bucks.

They slashed my sidewalls.

Yeah, uh..

...I don't think these tires were slashed.

'I think they were just, uh..'

- De-inflated. - De-inflated?

Yeah, I'll write up a report on it.

- Write a report? - Yes, sir.

Why not put out some extra patrols here?

I'll talk to my captain. They mess with anything else?

Nothin' else out here to mess with.

You check out these toilets yet?

Sure, but they ain't near as comfortable

as the ones we got in the trailer.

Yeah, I-I meant for vandalism.

You wanna go pokin' your head in the potty, be my guest.

What are you doin' up there?

Listenin'.

Listenin' to what?

Just step away from the potty, please, sir.

Step away.

[water gurgling]

Aah!

Ooh!

Oh, come on now, it don't smell that bad.

[Roy sighing]

"Dear Dana, I promise never to hit you

"if you don't bother me on the bus.

'"I think that's a fair arrangement.'

Most sincerely, Roy A. Eberhardt."

So...what'd you guys think? Sincere enough?

Honey, if he's such a big bully..

...isn't the note a little forceful?

The kid was choking me, I'm not gonna write him a love letter.

This is what happens when you're the new kid.

I'm the new kid at work. I'm not fighting at the office.

No offense, but you don't ride the school bus to work. Just..

...just let me know when we're moving again.

[both sigh]

[upbeat music]

* Florida, I know ya *

* I'll be hidin' from me *

(Delinko) 'There were totally six gators.'

'The largest being four feet even.'

The smallest being, uh, 24 inches.

Probably just a bunch of kids screwin' around.

That was my original assumption

with all due respect, captain, how many kids do you know

that could handle a four-foot alligator?

I think we're dealing with a more sophisticated syndicate.

You know, somebody that really has it in

for Mother Paula's, you know possibly a-a revenge type deal.

- Revenge? - Yes.

Like, uh, you know, a-a rival pancake house.

That's a great piece of police work, Officer Delinko.

- And then also I-- - Hey, look, Sherlock.

There are no other pancake houses in Coconut Cove.

The mayor's calling me about

"Coconut Cove's economy needs Mother Paula's."

So, go rub those two little brain cells of yours together.

Get out there and catch the punks

messin' with that construction site.

No need to worry, I'm on the case. I'm all over it.

That's precisely what I'm worried about.

Nobody in the history of Trace Middle School

has ever hit a Matherson before. You're a legend already.

I'm glad I could make my mark on history.

I wrote him a note, that's that.

A note? That's adorable. What'd you say?

"Sorry I smoked you. Don't break my bones.

"Please leave me one arm so I can eat."

You're hysterical.

(Beatrice) 'We've got a game to win.'

- Who's that girl? - That's Beatrice, the Bear.

(Garrett) 'Don't tell me you messed with her, too.'

What is it with you?

She jumped me and I'm just tryin' to figure out why.

What's her story?

She's a major soccer jock with attitude.

First Dana Matherson, now Beatrice, the Bear.

'You must have a serious death wish, bro.'

[upbeat music]

(Delinko) 'Officer David Delinko, case number 0-niner-0.'

Codename, Flapjack.

The time is now..

...03:56.

Still no sound.

Still no visuals.

Just me and the night.

A lone wolf..

...stalking his prey.

[owl hooting]

[hooting continues]

[owl screeching]

[wings flapping]

[thud]

Ho!

[wings ruffling]

Okay.

Okay, everything's under control.

Everything's okay.

So as to, uh, adapt my vision

to the nighttime visibility conditions.

Uh, I will now close my eyes for a few brief seconds.

[owl hooting]

(woman on radio) 'One-Baker-six, what's your twenty?'

'I repeat, what's your twenty?'

This is one-Baker-six, my twenty is, uh

East Oriole and, uh..

[banging on the door]

Uh, police officer!

Police officer!

(male #4) 'Oh, yeah?'

'You could've fooled me.'

Ain't you heard me knockin'?

What time is it?

About 8:30.

You gonna want to see this.

This one about beats the band.

Oh, no.

'Oh, no.'

Oh! No!

- Oh, yes, yes, yes! - No, my cruiser!

Your cruiser? Forget about your car.

They yanked up all my darn stakes again.

Hey!

Buddy. My stakes!

(Roy) 'I knew I couldn't spend the year hiding from Beatrice.'

'So even if it meant getting decapitated with my lunch tray'

'I had to take a stand.'

What is your problem?

I think you're the one with the problem.

I have no idea why you're mad about what happened

because you didn't get choked

and you didn't get punched in the nose.

If I did something to upset you, I'm sorry.

It wasn't on purpose.

Next time you have a problem, tell me.

And we can sit down and talk about it.

Like civilized human beings, okay?

Civilized?

Are we straight on this?

Good, then I'm glad we had this chance

to get to know each other just a little bit better.

He's kinda cute, don't you think?

In a way that's not cute at all.

[eerie music]

Sure you don't want me to come with you?

Just keep the engine running.

[doorbell buzzing]

Hi, is Dana home?

Who are you?

I go to school with him.

Dana!

Dana!

(Dana) 'What?'

Get over here.

I am not believing this.

Hi, I just came by to give you something.

It's-It's a letter.

Um, so, who are you again?

I'm Roy, the one your son tried to strangle.

The one who slugged him in the nose.

You gotta be kiddin' me.

This little twerp's the one who messed up your beautiful face?

Yeah, mommy.

Look, I-I came by to apologize, ma'am.

It's all in the letter.

Let me see that.

We'll settle up when I get back to school.

Uh, actually, this letter is supposed to settle us.

Me and you are a long way from settled.

Now get lost, cowgirl.

- Give me that. - No, not, gimme.

I need to read what that says. What if it's a death threat?

They're both rather odd, aren't they?

Yes, they are.

Maybe I should go and introduce myself.

You're not funny.

Start the car.

[car engine revving]

- I want the letter. - Stop it.

After getting whacked by that ball

I wasn't thrilled about going back to the golf course.

But that was the last place I'd seen the barefoot kid

and I wanted to find out what he was up to.

Hello?

Anybody here?

[eerie music]

Whoa!

- This is not good. - I wouldn't move if I were you.

I wasn't planning on it, not with cottonmouths.

I want you to step backwards, real slowly.

(male #3) 'On three.'

- One. - I don't think so.

- Two. - No way.

Three.

Three!

- Hey, what are you doing? - Who are you? Why are you here?

(Roy) 'Name's Roy. I saw you run by the school bus.'

I'm not here to hassle you. I want to talk.

You have to get out of here, right now.

- Let's go. - Aah. Alright, alright.

Why do you have poisonous snakes?

That's my business, so just leave me alone.

Where are you taking me?

Keep walking and don't turn around till you count to 50.

You come here again, you'll wake up one morning

with one of those cottonmouths in your bed. Alright?

Now, start counting.

One, two, three, four

'five, six, seven..'

'Eight, nine, ten. Ahh, forget it.'

(male #4) 'Fore! Fore, kid.'

Uh.

(Roy) 'That hurt.'

(Roy) 'Hey, Mom.'

(Mrs. Eberhardt) Hmm?

Is it illegal for someone my age not to go to school?

I don't know if it's an actual law, but--

Oh, yes, it is.

Truancy is what it's called.

I bet I know what this is really about

and I told you that that letter was too assertive.

Oh, the letter was just fine.

Listen to this, "A Coconut Cove police cruiser

was vandalized early Monday morning while parked

at a construction site when an unknown prankster

spray painted the cars windows black

while the officer slept inside.

There were three incidents within a week at this location.

The new home of Mother Paula's All American Pancake House."

Oh, we're getting a Mother Paula's here.

That'll be nice.

- Can I see the newspaper? - M-hm.

Thank you.

You'll notice that your name wasn't mentioned.

That's because we refused to release it to the media.

Thank you.

I'm really sorry about this, sir.

And I-I assure you that it will not happen again.

- Oh, you bet it won't. - No.

If it does, your name will be in the paper

under the headline "Officer terminated".

Do you copy?

I copy, Captain.

Ah, so now, what about my cruiser?

Oh, I think I've got the perfect set

of replacement wheels for you.

That looks like a small key.

She's all yours.

Don't forget to plug her in.

[crowd laughing]

Sweet ride, Delinko.

[fly buzzing]

After reading in the paper about the gators

and all the other stuff, I couldn't help but wonder

if the barefoot kid was involved with this.

So I thought I'd check out the lot for myself.

[instrumental music]

[owls hooting]

Hey, little guys.

(male #4) 'What are you doin' here?'

What do you and your punk friends got planned for tonight?

What? Nothing.

That's right. You better run.

Run, you little bugger.

Don't you ever come back.

Here's the stuff you wanted.

I also made my special banana-mango loaf.

Special?

I don't think I'd feed that to a gator.

Kidding.

You know, I love your cooking.

You know, you can't stay out here alone forever.

Was there anybody looking for me?

No. I can only cover for you for so long before you're caught.

I know. And I've been trying to stay out of sight

I've only got a few days to stop them.

(Roy) 'Hello, hello?'

That's that kid that's been following me around.

Don't worry.

I'll keep him out of your hair. We are not done discussing this.

Right.

Hello?

(Roy) 'Hello?'

'Look, I'm not here to hassle you.'

'My bike.'

[dramatic music]

Looking for this?

That's my bike.

Yeah, it is. Now hop on.

What?

The handle bars, get on the handle bars, you dork.

We're going for a ride.

* From the beginning *

* I was wishing that our first impressions *

* Wouldn't last *

* But then you came to me *

* With something that was nothing *

* And you kept coming back boy *

- What's in your backpack? - What? Nothing.

Oh! Can I get off now?

When you tell me what's in the box.

- Nothing. - Come on, cowgirl. Give it up.

- What's in the box? - Shoes.

Yeah, sure.

I swear.

Why are you carrying around an old pair of sneakers?

That is weird, cowgirl, really weird.

They're not for me, they're for this barefoot kid I met.

Maybe he doesn't want shoes. Did you ever think about that?

Why do you care so much about this kid anyway?

I don't know, okay? He looked like he needed help.

I'll tell you what I'm gonna do.

I'll make sure that the barefoot kid gets these sneakers.

Now get out of here.

So you do know him.

(Roy) 'Well, who is he?'

You won't leave it alone.

Can I trust you?

Of course.

He's my brother. Well, my stepbrother.

Why doesn't he live with you?

My stepmom shipped him off to some military school.

He lasted two days and then ran off.

He hitchhiked back all the way from Mobile, Alabama.

Nobody else knows he's here and nobody's gonna tell them, right?

Not me.

About four years ago, when my dad was still playing

pro-basketball he went to this celebrity golf tournament

where he met some cheerleader named Lana.

She came to the wedding with a son that she didn't like at all.

She didn't even like her own son?

I'm the only one he even talks to anymore.

What's his name?

I call him Mullet Fingers.

Mullet Fingers?

Why?

I think you've heard enough for one day.

Besides, it's getting late.

Yeah. Looks like I'm gonna be late for dinner.

Here's your excuse.

[siren wailing]

Looks like you could use a lift.

Throw your bike in the back and hop on in.

- Thank you, sir. - You got it.

There you go.

Go ahead and buckle up for me.

(Woman on radio) One-Baker-six, one-Baker-six, come in.

Got a little police business I gotta attend to.

Go for one-baker-six.

Did you pick up Captain's dry cleaning?

Ten-four on that.

Yeah, this is, uh, just kind of temporary arrangement.

What's your name, son?

I'm Roy. Roy Eberhardt.

Can I ask you something, Roy?

Now, you go to Trace, right? You ever hear any..

...chatter about stuff that's been happening

at the new pancake house that's going up?

No. But I saw the newspaper about the police car

getting painted.

Well, police officers aren't superheroes, Roy

and stakeouts can be real tests of focus for any good lawman.

'Even for a cop as good as that cop was.'

You see how I'm looking at you right now? Like this.

You see these eyes? Police work requires focus, Roy.

- Oh! - Watch it.

And extreme tiger-like reflexes, like the ones I just exhibited.

[sighs]

- You okay? - Yeah, I'm fine.

[instrumental music]

(female #2) 'Don't they smell delicious? You bet they do.'

Pancakes don't just feed the stomach.

(female 3) 'Take seven.'

Don't they smell...Of course they do.

- I'm sorry. - 'And action.'

They feed the soul. Ah-choo!

- 'Marker.' - 'No, you look great.'

Okay, okay, it's sliding. Okay it's sliding.

And freeze.

- Not good. - I thought it was okay.

We have to re-shoot this thing before we hit the road.

I don't want to go to Wherever, Florida.

These openings are getting old, Chuck.

Getting paid to dress up as Mother Paula and do nothing.

- That's getting old? - I didn't say that.

Keep this up, you'll be dancing on a ship where I found you.

Good luck finding somebody else who'll put up with this job.

Ahem, Mr. Muckle. I have Coconut Cove on line five.

Thank you, Felix.

Which means you should go get packed

'cause you're going to Florida.

(Mr. Muckle) 'Mr. Brannit, what does 100 pancake houses sound like?'

Sounds like an awful lot of pancake houses, Mr. Muckle.

It's a record-breaking accomplishment.

I will be the first regional manager

in the history of Mother Paula's to reach 100 pancake houses.

And that is the stuff that food and beverage industry legends

are made of.

It is my dream...and you, Mr. Brannit, are responsible

for making a tiny piece of that very big dream come true.

Got you.

So then, why are we behind schedule, over budget

and on the front page of the crime report?

Well, we got us a-a tiny bit of a trespassing problem, sir.

Well, solve the problem or I will replace you

with someone who can.

- What about them owls? - What owls?

Well, you know, the ones we got in the little holes and..

This time, at half speed, ignore owls, or lose job.

Go out and get what it takes to keep those vandals off my lot.

Attack dogs, Rottweilers, Dobermans, I don't care.

Just get that site cleared.

Yes, sir.

[dogs barking]

You sure them dogs will do the trick?

Oh, please.

It's best you get as far away as possible.

Alright. Alright.

Just look a little tame to me.

I ain't paying top dollar just for them to sit around

slobbering, eating tenderloins.

Sic 'em.

Alright, alright.

Call them off.

Alright. Call them off.

- Call them off. - Off, off. Hey, hey.

Alright, alright.

You can go now.

'Not to worry.'

The dogs will take care of all of your problems by the morning.

Yeah. Come, boys, come.

Come, babies.

[dogs barking]

Whoa!

[barking continues]

Easy. Oh no.

Hi, Dana.

Hey, cowgirl.

You and me got some business to settle, Eberhardt.

What business? I gave you an apology. That makes us even.

We're a long way from even, you and me.

You're gonna be sorry you ever messed with me.

I am going to be your worst nightmare.

Aah!

[bus doors opening]

[indistinct chatter]

What are you staring at?

Hey, Beatrice.

Unh!

Please, don't hurt me.

[dogs barking]

Hut. Hut. Hut!

What happened?

Spooked, they got spooked. That's what happened

Spooked? How'd they get spooked?

They're supposed to be doing the spookin'.

There's only one thing that spooks a dog like this.

Snakes.

We ain't got no snakes 'round here.

Oh, you've got 'em. You got 'em crawling all over the lot.

What?

Do you know what happens when dog gets bit by snake?

- What happens? - Dog dies.

But we ain't got no snakes.

Oh?

What's that?

[snake hissing]

Yeah.

A snake.

Yeah.

What you think now?

Do you think Kahler is some kind of crazy boy? Huh?

We go home, boys.

* Ahoo *

* Werewolves of London *

* Ah-ooo *

Eberhardt...you look sick.

You should go home early.

I feel fine.

I don't care how you think you feel.

You should call your mom and go home, bro.

Why?

I know someone in Dana's P.E. class.

He says Dana's gonna snatch you before you get on the bus.

And do what?

I guess you got till 2:45 to find out.

In the meantime, I'll start work on your eulogy.

Eulogy?

So, to answer your question, Pacific swells are usually

a lot bigger than Atlantic swells.

But remember, Kelly Slater is from Florida.

[bell ringing]

Okay, test tomorrow.

- Wait, wait, wait. - Be ready.

- Goodbye. - Goodbye.

- See ya. - Bye bye.

- Okay, bye. - Bye.

Be ready.

- Bye, Mr. Ryan. - Bye.

Roy, you okay?

Oh, yeah, yeah, everything's fine.

Alright.

Hey, Mr. Ryan, wait up. You going home, too?

Sooner or later. I got some papers to grade

but hopefully I'll catch a few waves before dinner.

Cool, I think I'm just gonna walk with you for a little bit.

Isn't the bus the other way?

Ahh, just stretching my legs.

Roy, is there something you want to talk to me about?

Oh, no, no, everything's fine.

Then you better get going, or you'll miss your bus.

'Later, dude.'

[instrumental music]

Ahh, get over here.

[telephone ringing]

Curly Brannit.

- 'Brannit, what's going on?' - Hello, sir.

Did you get my message about the dogs?

You're telling me snakes scared off the dogs?

Well, now, sir, these wasn't just your ordinary snakes.

These was cottonmouths.

And a cottonmouth'll kill a dog pretty darn quick.

Really? Can they kill a bulldozer?

Probably not.

Brannit, I am this close to firing up the chopper

and coming down there myself.

'And trust me, you do not want that.'

No, sir.

I told you, it was settled.

Not even close.

Aah, ha ha ha!

Help! Help!

Come on, cowgirl.

Aah, shit. Ow!

Leave me alone..

Ah.

[door opening]

Aah! Aah! Aah!

Um, Mr. Ryan?

[instrumental music]

[groaning]

How in the heck did that--

- Hey. - You did that?

You can thank me later, but right now we got to go.

Hop on, I need your help.

[girls laughing]

[grunts]

[music continues]

- You get everything I wanted? - Yep.

My mom keeps a first aid under the sink.

Okay, come on, we got to go.

I came by at lunch and found him like this.

A dog got me.

Let me see.

I'm gonna put some antibiotic cream on for now.

But you're gonna need a doctor.

I'll be okay.

- How did you get bit? - My arm got stuck.

Doing what?

Got some friends I look after over this construction site.

Anyway, they brought in these big dogs to get rid of me.

So, I put some snakes around the lot to freak the dogs out.

See, I knew the trainer would drag them out of there

when he saw that they were cottonmouths.

Does this have anything to do with that cop car

that got painted black? Gators in the toilet?

They build that pancake place, those baby owls are toast.

Yeah, yeah, I've seen those owls.

Wait, you have?

Why don't they just build somewhere else?

We tried to tell them about the nest, all we got back

was this form letter from someone named Muckle's

saying they'd all the permits they needed to build.

They don't care about little birds.

'My brother's been trying to stall them ever since.'

Hey, hey, you okay?

Are you kidding?

I mean, I feel like a million bucks.

Hey, come on, get up. Up, up.

Let's get him to a hospital.

(man on TV) 'The central Florida shrimping industry has suffered major--'

(woman on TV) 'Are you a big boy with a big apatite?'

You bet ya, I am.

'Then come on down to Mother Paula's'

'for her famous all you can eat pancake buffet.'

[wood rattling]

Hm.

What're you upto now?

This is bad, cowgirl, really bad.

Don't worry, he's gonna be fine.

I'm worried about him, I've never seen act like this.

Which one of you is Roy Eberhardt?

- He is. - He is.

[waves crashing]

- A police officer? - Hi, there.

What's this about?

Must be Roy's parents, I'm Officer Delinko, CCPD.

- Okay. - Hi.

Anyhow, I met Roy the other day.

He had a flat, I gave him a ride home.

When I heard over the radio that he was in the hospital

'and they couldn't reach his parents'

Figured I'd just come by and find you all.

- In the hospital? - Oh, my God! Is he okay?

Oh, yeah. Sorry, no, he's.. He got bit by a dog.

He's gonna be fine, that's the word.

So, are you a police officer, Mr. Eberhardt?

I'm with the Department of Justice.

- 'Where's Roy at?' - Oh, right, sorry.

He's, he's over in the hospital on Eighth Street.

Honey.

So, wow, Department of Justice, we ought to get together

and swap stories sometime.

I'd, I'd take you over there myself

but I'm in this... this smallish vehicle

and you'll probably get there before me.

Anyways..

Tell me again what happened? From the beginning.

Alright.

A dog the size of a Buick attacked Roy at soccer practice.

He was all chewed up, we brought him here as fast as we could.

It's true.

No, no, I believe your brother was attacked by a dog.

I just don't believe that it happened today.

Judging by how far the infection has progressed

I estimate he was bitten 18 to 24 hours ago.

Yeah, 18 hours, that sounds about right.

Because he-he...he passed out right after he got bit.

It wasn't until the next day that Beatrice called me

and asked me if I could help get him to a hospital.

I see. And where're your parents?

- Well.. - Their parents..

- They work in a crab boat. - And you are?

I'm..

...Ling Ho.

Okay, here's what's going to happen.

'I'm going to go attend to Roy'

and then the three of us are gonna sit down

and somebody is gonna start telling me the truth. Okay?

Ling Ho.

Ling Ho?

Couldn't come up with anything better than Ling Ho?

- I don't know. - It's not gonna work, cowgirl.

Once they figure out that Mullet is not you

they're gonna put him in juvie or ship him somewhere where.

Don't worry, we'll come up with something.

I bet you will, cowgirl. But I got to go.

Wait, wait. Where're you going?

To fix dinner for my dad. I do it every night.

I'll be back in an hour. I promise.

You're kidding, right?

[horn blaring]

(male #1) 'Hey, come on, get that tin can out of the road.'

We tried to get a hold of you

his friends said you're out at sea in a crab boat.

What?

He was bitten by a dog, so we've got him on an antibiotic drip.

With a little rest he should be just fine.

- Where is Roy? - I just..

I mean, I really..

- I don't know. - You don't know?

There was a boy in this bed and he just vanished?

And how can you lose the one and only patient that you have?

- Mom, dad, I'm right here. - Oh, honey.

- Are you okay? - Yeah, I'm fine.

Roy, let's get a look at those dog bites.

Whoa, whoa, everybody, hold on a minute.

- This is not Roy. - Of course it is.

Guys, I didn't get bit, it wasn't me.

Excuse me, folks, but we still have a patient missing.

Can someone please explain to me what's going on here?

I think only one person can do that.

Roy...who's in that bed and where did he go?

And I wanna know now.

I don't know his real name. And I don't know where he went.

I'm sorry. But that's the truth.

(Roy) 'Let me explain, all he was trying to do is save the owl.'

If the Mother Paula's people bulldoze that lot

it'll bury all the dens. Owls will be gone.

But, Roy, it's their property.

But it doesn't mean that it's right, dad.

Those owls can't fight for themselves

somebody's got to stick up for them.

That's all he was trying to do.

We're just getting settled here, Roy.

Why do you wanna get mixed up in all this?

I wasn't looking for it, it just happened.

What just happened?

Some pirate kid hassling a construction site?

I didn't do anything to that construction site.

I'm not finished. Roy, you broke a kid's nose.

You got, you got suspended form the school bus.

Today a police officer shows up at our house.

What's going on with you? Where's that such good judgment?

Where is it? Where is it?

[instrumental music]

[instrumental music]

Room service. Here.

Oh, thanks.

How's your arm?.

Ah, fever's gone, but I ache all over.

- Get in trouble last night? - No big deal.

But I had to tell my dad about the owls and Mother Paula's.

What'd he say?

They can build anything as long as they have legal papers.

There's really nothing we can do.

We?

You know what I mean.

You're saying it's a lost cause, right?

I mean, come on, Tex.

You gotta start thinking like an outlaw.

I'm not an outlaw.

Yeah, you are.

Last night at the hospital.

That was definitely an outlaw move.

You were hurt.

You crossed the line 'cause you cared about what happened to me.

Hey, Come on.

I got something really cool to show you.

Since I was little, I've been watching this place disappear.

The pine woods, the mangroves, the creeks, the glades.

Even the beaches.

And they put up these giant hotels

and only goober tourists are allowed.

It really sucks.

The same thing's happening everywhere.

Look, they got mountains where you're from, right?

Yeah. Miles and miles of 'em.

See, that's what we need here.

I mean, this state's so flat, there's nothing to stop 'em

from bulldozing from one coast to another.

Except for you.

Yeah.

Except for me.

[upbeat music]

[music continues]

Oh, cool. Watch this.

Whoo-hoo!

Take a peek.

What is it?

It's a mullet.

See, that's why my sister calls me Mullet Fingers.

Ain't too many people who can do that, you know?

Bye, little guy.

Swim fast.

[music continues]

* I come from where the rivers meet the sea *

* That's why I think I'm so wild and fancy free *

* I was early into crazy ways *

You gotta bite this. Bite.

Seeing all the wildlife with Mullet Fingers

made me want to swing by and get another look at the owls.

Change of plan, boys.

Well, look who's decided to do a little police work.

That should do it.

Hey, cowgirl.

[neck cracking]

[grunts]

Beatrice the Bear isn't here to save you this time.

Uh! You're gonna be sorry you ever messed with me!

Aah!

Uhh! Grr.

Right behind you, cowgirl.

Ow! Uhh!

Damn it! Ow!

[groaning]

[groaning continues]

You say there.

Looks like I got me a rat.

Big ol' rat in a trap.

Don't you move.

Alright, I won't.

'We caught him.'

'Caught the Mother Paula's vandal.'

- Caught him red-handed. - The what?

You're crazy, man. I've never been here before!

Stay down. I'll take it from here.

I'm crazy?

Hey, calm down. Calm down.

Get your arms up here. What's your name, son?

Roy. Roy Eberhardt.

Well, looks like your chubby little reign of terror is over.

Hold on a second.

I know Roy Eberhardt, and this isn't him.

So I assume you wanna press charges?

Well, you bet your cute little scooter, I do.

Attempted burglary, trespassing, destruction of private property

and so forth.

You know, you could make this a lot easier on yourself, son.

Yeah, right.

Tell us your real name and quit acting dumb.

I ain't acting, and I ain't done nothing wrong, so let me go!

- Okay, have it your way. - Oh, come on.

[upbeat music]

Hi, Captain.

Don't just stand there like a seagull.

Sit down.

Sorry.

Thanks.

A heck of a collar out there, Delinko.

Just got off the phone with the mayor.

He says we need more cops on the street like you.

Sir, I was just doing my job.

Right place at the right time.

Did, did he really say that?

Looks like you reeled in one nasty bull shark.

This Matherson kid's got a heck of a rap sheet.

That's what I wanted to talk to you about.

If you look at his record, it just doesn't make sense.

I mean, shoplifting, breaking into candy machines..

...th-this kid's a delinquent. Not a vandal.

It just doesn't add up to me.

This is police work, Delinko, not algebra.

Kid's been breaking the law since kindergarten

and you caught him red-handed.

- Case closed. - Well, sir, I just--

I believe these belong to you.

Oh, boy! My cruiser.

Just remember.

Screw up again, you'll be swattin' skeeters

and counting cushions at the boat ramp.

Copy that, sir.

Can't say, uh, I'm gonna miss that, uh, smallish vehicle.

Yeah.

(Roy) 'You expect me to do the right thing'

and I'm trying my best.

Well, we know you are, son.

I'll see you in the morning, Roy.

Tuck, tuck, tuck, tuck, tuck.

Toes.

Goodnight, Roy.

Goodnight, mom.

Goodnight.

Hey, dad?

Yeah?

What do you do to catch the bad guys?

- 'At work?' - Yeah.

'Well, uh, we don't chase our bad guys down the streets.'

The key is to catch 'em in their paperwork.

Sooner or later, they all slip up, and they leave a trail.

Right.

It's boring stuff, not razzle dazzle like you hoped, right?

I don't know. Maybe it is.

Okay. See ya. Get some sleep.

Goodnight, dad.

(Beatrice) 'Tuck, tuck, tuck.'

'Toes.'

'Don't freak out. It's me.'

Me who?

Me, Beatrice.

- How did you get in here? - Easy.

Sliding door on the porch popped right off the track.

They all do.

How long have you been hiding here?

Oh, don't worry.

I closed my eyes while you put on your very colorful jammies.

Are you completely whacko?

I'm sorry.

It's just..

...things got kind of crazy back at home.

My dad and Lana, they got in this huge fight

and I mean huge.

She threw a clock radio at his head

so I beaned her with a mango.

She went berserk.

I didn't know where else to go.

I was gonna stay with Mullet, but he wasn't at the boatyard.

If you want, you can stay here.

Really?

Yeah. Just as long as my parents don't check back in..

'...or we'll both be in trouble.

You take the bed. I'll sleep on the floor.

No way.

I'm fine right here.

Alright. Suit yourself.

[sighs]

Hey, cowgirl?

Yeah?

I'm really glad that, um..

I'm just gonna call you Roy from now on..

...if that's alright with you.

And what's wrong with Ling Ho?

Ow.

It's not like him to disappear. He must be up to something.

Don't worry. We'll find him.

Hey!

You jerk.

- What's that thing? - It's a bulldozer seat.

What're you doing with it?

You can't drive a bulldozer without a seat, Bea.

- Don't tell me you stole-- - You're gonna love this.

Come on. I'll show you.

What the..

Shh.

Oh, mercy.

Not the seat! You gotta be kidding me.

Let's go.

What am I gonna tell Muckle now?

You start by telling me why I shouldn't fire you.

Oh! Goodness gracious!

Mr. Muckle!

We wasn't expecting you until tomorrow.

Yes, Mr. Brannit, I came a day early.

I'm gonna be sticking a silver shovel into somethin'

at that groundbreaking ceremony tomorrow.

I want it to be free of you-know-whats.

Gotcha.

Oh, my.

We're bulldozing today.

- Today? - Today?

This obviously wasn't something I could count on you

to handle unsupervised.

Today is gonna be a little difficult.

Speak!

Well, we had another incident, sir.

And this time, somebody took the seat off the bulldozer.

What's the quickest you can get a new seat?

I can head over to construction supply in Fort Meyer.

Go there, get it right now.

I'll keep an eye on things and make sure nothing else happens.

Oh, Brannit, on your way back pick up Miss Nixon at the hotel.

'I want her in Mother Paula's costume for a dress rehearsal'

'at three o'clock sharp.'

If you run into anyone, keep your trap shut about all this.

- Yes, sir. - Good, go.

Mr. Muckle..

...I just want to say that..

...I've been trying like the dickens down here--

Get seat! Get Mother Paula.

- 'Get going.' - Yes, sir.

- Let's go. - Okay, let's go.

So, uh, you've had some time to think about your situation?

I don't need to think, alright?

That's how come I got a lawyer.

Hey..

..did, uh, you spray-paint the windows of my squad car?

How 'bout those gators in the toilet?

I've no idea what you're talking about.

- Oh, really? - Yeah, really.

Now, be a good cop and get me some donuts?

Okay, and that's the end of the nice interrogation.

It time for a little hardball.

Ha ha ha.

That was smooth.

'You just got to relax, alright?'

You got a long day ahead.

- Yeah? - Yeah.

It's that attitude that got you in here in the first place.

Remember that.

No, what got me here is that little twerp Eberhardt, alright?

He set me up. I didn't do anything.

Huh. Wow, this Roy Eberhardt

seems like quite the little evil genius.

See you later.

Oh, I actually got you somethin'.

What is it?

I figured you'd be going away for about six months

and I thought you might get a little lonely.

'So I, I picked you something up.'

You struck me as somewhat of a nature boy..

...so I got you this little guy. There he is.

Get it out! Get it away!

- Are you sure? - Get it away!

Okay, Dana, you passed the lie detector test.

Crude? Yeah, but effective.

Today? I can't believe this. I can't believe this.

- We've got to do something. - I'm gonna do something.

Like what?

I'm gonna hotwire Muckle's precious Hummer.

Gonna hook it up to that construction trailer--

- Wait a minute. - That's crazy.

I'll drive 'em to the edge of the canal

and release the emergency brake.

- You can't do that. - It'll sink like a rock.

That'll give me time to come up with somethin'

that'll really freak'em out.

(Roy) 'No, way.'

You'll slow them down, you won't stop them.

- We've been through this. - Plus, you'll end up in jail.

Then nobody in town will be in the mood to hear the truth.

- We're the only ones who care. - We're the only ones who know.

We got to let the town know what Muckle's upto

stop this construction once in and for all.

That's what we've been trying to do.

These idiots around here won't give a damn.

They're all too excited about having a stupid pancake house.

Look, I've got an idea.

If it doesn't work you're gonna do what you have to do.

But can we atleast try it my way first?

It's worth a shot.

Alright.

- So what's your brilliant plan? - Here's what we're gonna do..

Burrowing owls.

They're legally protected.

This is Monica calling from Mother Paula's

to confirm that the mayor will be here today at 3:30

- for groundbreaking ceremony. - Today?

I have that scheduled for tomorrow.

That's why I'm calling.

We had to reschedule due to an unexpected rain tomorrow.

Mother Paula can do a lots, but she can't change the weather.

- That would be Mother Nature. - Thank you again for calling.

I'll be sure and let everyone know.

Okay, no problem.

Hey, if you want to bring two cameras..

...I-I mean, that's what WZBY is bringing.

But, hey, I'm just the PR guy at Mother Paula's.

You guys are the journalists.

Here you go. Plans, permits, environmental reports.

Make it snappy. I got a conch salad going bad in the back.

[fly buzzing]

That's weird.

Is there another copy of this report?

Yeah. The foreman's supposed to have one at the job site.

Thanks.

Roy?

Say, excuse me, where'd that kid go?

I don't know, he was just here.

- What he do, officer? - It's police business.

What was he doing in here?

He was looking at the files on the new pancake house.

What is he upto?

Thanks.

Where's that nitwit?

Thinking about crashing my party?

How 'bout a little artic blast to change your mind?

ha ha ha

Yeah, you might want to throw on a sweater.

There's a cold front blowing into Florida.

[laughs]

Hey, little birdie, you wanna meet my friend?

Say hello to Jack Frost.

he he he

I wouldn't do that again if I were you.

Who's gonna stop me, you?

- You asked for it. - What're you gonna do?

You gonna throw your little butterfly net?

Is that what you're gonna do?

Oh, no. Please.. Hey.

Okay, you just made a big mistake, nature boy.

[grunts]

Ouch.

So why are there palm trees in Ireland?

Because the tropical waters of the Gulf Stream

traveling north from Florida..

Roy, you're late.

- Sorry. - Take a seat.

Mr. Ryan, I know this is kind of weird

but can I make an announcement real quick?

- I hope it's important. - It's really important.

I know you don't know me very well yet, but..

...I need your help.

When I heard this new pancake house

was being built, I thought....cool.

I-I mean, who doesn't love pancakes?

But then a friend took me out there

and showed me something that changed my mind.

- 'What's he doing?' - 'What's he talking about?'

Just, everybody, come to the Mother Paula's lot after school.

- 'What?' - 'I don't know.'

As I was saying the..

..the tropical waters of the Gulf Stream

move north from Florida across the Atlantic..

Officer, what can I do for you?

Yeah, excuse me.

I'm, uh, looking for Roy Eberhardt.

Oh, Roy.

Roy. I think..

I think he's over there.

Ahem. Roy, I need to ask you a question.

Meet in 15 minutes at the marina.

(Delink) 'Hey! Hey, hold up!'

Stop!

'Freeze!'

Roy Eberhardt!

Come here! Roy!

Hey!

[siren wailing]

[siren wailing]

'Roy, come on now, I just wanna talk to you, alright?'

'I just wanna ask you a few questions. That's all, alright?'

'Whoa!'

'Pull your vehicle to the side of the road, son.'

No, not my cruiser. Come on.

That's gonna leave a dent.

Oh!

[siren wailing] 'Come on, Roy. Please pull over.'

'I just wanna ask you a few questions.'

Alright, no more Mr. Nice Cop.

You got nowhere else to go, Roy!

Roy, stop! Hey, Roy, stop!

- Hey, right there. - Give me a second.

I can explain everything if you give me one second, I..

That was option A, Roy.

But then you fled the scene and you resisted an officer.

Alright? I know you're involved in this somehow.

I got to take you in. I got no other choice. Okay?

Officer, I'm sorry. I know this might look bad.

There's something I got to do.

Oh.

Uh.

Roy!

Roy!

Damn it!

- How'd it go? - You're not gonna believe this.

Uh, we ran into a little trouble.

The police are after me, and we're out of time.

If you think that's a little trouble..

...then you're really gonna get a kick out of this.

- What are we doing here? - Yeah, what's going on?

Mmm-mmm-mmm!

Uh!

[indistinct mumbling]

- You can't do this! - It just happened.

He was trying to kill the owls. What was I supposed to do?

We got to get him out of here now, before people start..

...showing up.

Too late.

[mumbling continues]

- Here you go. - Thank you.

- Here you go. - Thank you.

- Now, where's Muckle? - Uh, maybe in the trailer.

Hi, Mayor Grandy.

Is Mr. Muckle in there?

Uh, yeah...um, no. He's been delayed.

Um, I'm actually Mr. Muckle's daughter, Mary Myrtle Muckle.

He just wanted me to let you know..

...that everything is proceeding as planned

and he's going to need just a few more minutes.

What're you doing?

Looking for the other copy of the environmental report.

Mm-mmm.

[Mr. Muckles mumbling]

'Three..'

'...four..'

(announcer) 'Put your hands together for Mayor Grandy.'

[crowd cheering]

Bingo! Page Five. Yes!

There's a cop walking this way. Let's go!

[mumbling continues]

Go! Go! Go! Go!

(announcer) 'Good afternoon, Coconut Cove. I love it!'

'Love you, love you. Welcome..'

Open up. Police.

'...Mother Paula's Pancake House! Welcome!'

Hello?

[indistinct mumbling]

[mumbling continues]

- What are we going to do? - Stick to the plan.

You need to let these people know what's going on.

Not me, I can't be seen.

Only you can do this, Roy. You have to tell them.

Okay.

Good luck, Tex.

I thought the ceremony was tomorrow.

It is. It was.

- This is classic Chuck Muckle. - Uh-Huh?

He pulls this last minute, flip-flop flapjack stuff

all the time.

He gives me absolutely no respect.

Don't worry. He don't respect me neither.

- Mmm-mmm! - Sir, calm down.

- Mmm-mmm-mmm. - Excuse me?

[indistinct mumbling]

Oh, yeah. Sorry.

- Aah! - What are you trying to say?

Arrrgh! Untie my hands, you idiot.

- Wh...what happened? - I was abducted!

Assaulted! Hog-tied!

What is going on here?

What happened? Get in some kind of a fishin' accident?

The vandals did this. They kidnapped me.

What's this?

See, I told you they was pesky little fellas.

Will you help me get out of this net?

- We have to get out there! - Hold on. Everybody, freeze.

Something's not right with this environmental report.

It says there's evidence of burrowing owls on your property.

Those burrows were abandoned years ago. There are no owls.

I'm pretty sure this means your lot needs to be red-tagged

and all construction shut down.

I've got a perfectly good explanation for this.

Now, I've got to get out there.

This ought to be good.

[crowd applauding]

Mother Paula's is going to be a shining example

of my six-point economic development plan..

bringing to Coconut Cove over 12 new jobs.

- What's going on? - Follow my lead.

Excuse me.

Who are you? Where is Muckle?

He's networking.

He asked me to make an announcement.

Um, please, Mr. Mayor, take a seat.

- It's okay. It's okay. - Alright.

[inaudible]

Go ahead, Roy.

Who likes pancakes?

[indistinct mumbling]

- We do! - Love 'em!

Yeah, me too. I love pancakes.

And a pancake house will be great in Coconut Cove.

But not here.

Not in this spot because somebody was here first..

...and they still are.. They're little baby owls.

- Owls? - Owls?

[people clamoring]

No, not up in the trees, but in the burrows you see all around.

'And if you build a Mother Paula's here..'

'...you're gonna kill some really beautiful animals.'

Now, just think about that as you're chowing down

on your key lime pie pancakes.

[engine revving]

Oh, no.

Hello, Coconut Cove!

Welcome to Pancake House number one hundred!

Get out of the way, kid!

You want to bury those owls, you got to bury me too!

Me too.

That makes three of us.

We will not let you kill these owls.

Ladies and gentlemen, these kids are a little misguided.

They have no proof of any owls.

You folks, see any owls? 'Cause I don't.

- No. - No.

There sure is owls.

Why would they come out of their holes

while everybody's here?

All we do is make noise.

'Cars.'

Trucks.

Bulldozers.

'All we do is scare them.'

Yeah.

No wonder we don't see them.

Maybe if we all just be quiet, they'll come out.

Go ahead, Roy.

Why don't we try it?

Let's all be quiet for one minute.

Just sixty seconds, okay?

This is absurd.

Okay?

- Yeah. - Sure.

Everybody ready?

Go.

'Shh! Shh!'

'Quiet. Quiet.'

[birds chirping]

[hooting]

Roy.

Look.

Ha-ha!

'Check it out.'

'Hey, look.'

- Ha-ha. - Ha-ha.

- 'There's another one.' - 'Don't scare him.'

'I can't believe it.'

'Hey, look. There's one over there.'

- 'Oh.' - 'There's another one.'

Oh, my God.

'They're so cute.'

Hey, look!

'Shh! Shh!'

Oh, look at that one, right there.

You were right.

Put your hands behind your back, please, sir.

You're under arrest for violating state permits

operating a bulldozer without a license..

...and, uh..

...lot of other stuff.

[all clapping]

Ladies and gentlemen of Coconut Cove.

Ladies and gentlemen. Excuse me, Mr. Mayor.

Ahem.

I would just like to say that I, Mother Paula

am simply shocked by what has gone on here today.

And you, young man

are no longer an employee of Mother Paula's.

You're fired.

[people cheering]

You can't do that. She's crazy.

I do the firing.

She's only an actress.

[crowd booing]

And, Mr. Mayor..

I would like to donate this land to your town

as an owl sanctuary.

[all cheering]

Can she really do that?

She just did.

And on live TV.

Mother Paula, that's a grand idea.

Folks, doesn't that sound like a grand idea?

[cheering]

And let me assure you..

...my office is going to launch a full investigation

into how...the presence of these fine little creatures..

...was overlooked.

[crowd cheering]

Guess, I owe you an apology, Roy.

No problem, Officer. I knew you were alright.

Thanks.

And thanks for the...you know.

It'll come in handy at the trial.

No problem. I couldn't have done any of this without

Beatrice and Mullet Fingers.

Where'd he go?

Hey, way to go, son.

Mom and Dad realized they liked Florida

just as much as I did.

And they decided to stay here and make this our home..

...for good.

After all the bad publicity, the pancake company

couldn't back off the promises made that day by Mother Paula.

They ended up donating the land as a wildlife preserve.

The owls are still there.

And you could see them if you're real quiet.

Beatrice and I became best of friends

and I never missed a soccer game.

Attendance was mandatory.

'Left! Right!'

Then there's Dana Matherson, who finally met someone

who was bigger and meaner than he was.

What is your major malfunction, Chuckle-butt?

You've got the posture of a jellyfish!

Officer Delinko was promoted to his dream job as a detective

and got his first unmarked patrol car.

Two days later, he accidentally backed it off a fishing pier.

While serving his ninety days of community service

Chuck Muckle was hit in the head by a falling coconut.

The judge gave him another thirty days

for lying down on the job.

Curly Brannit quit his job at Mother Paula's.

Today, he brags that his life has gone to the dogs.

Last, but not least, is Mullet Fingers.

Well, whenever he wants to get together.

He has his own secret way of letting me know.
