Race the Sun

Hey, Big Island, how's everybody?

Listen up for a surf report.

Kailua Bay, six-foot sets

pumping left...

all the way down the Pu-Pu Beach.

Okay, then, let me see.

What's happening locally?

Want to say hello to my auntie

over at Hilo side. Hi, Auntie.

She's 73 today and sunny,

just like the weather.

That's local news.

- Hey, how's it?

- Bye, Mama.

Hey, brother, how's it?

You want in?

We're running late. Let's go.

Are you kidding?

I don't ride with no haole.

Come on, girl. Catch you up.

Uni, hele on!

Don't be talking to that fat boy.

- Always keep the rod hot.

- Excuse me.

- Excuse me!

- Hold the rod out.

Can you tell me

where the science annex is?

Hang on, Gilbert.

I'll give you a hand with that.

Yeah, it's over there.

Thank you.

I know what I like!

Good morning.

I'm Ms. Beecher...

and I'll be your teacher.

Okay, Miss Beecher the teacher.

Okay, now, you might

have already heard...

your regular teacher,

Mr. Stenke, quit.

Stinky Stenke! Stinky Stenke!

What might your name be?

Marco Quito, the mosquito.

- Very impressive, Mr. Quito.

- Thank you.

Now remove your cap

and take your seat. Thank you.

We know you love her, Marco.

Just sit down.

Okay, listen. I'm going

to be honest with you, okay?

My training is in English,

not science.

Shucks.

Now, can anybody tell me where

we might be in our science books?

- Molecular transmutation.

- Hey, shut up, fat ass!

Mr. Quito! You apologize.

For what? He knows what he is.

I mean, we all do.

We the lolos, eh,

and we don't bother no books.

That's right. You tell her.

Oh, so nice of you to join us.

A little late.

But you are?

Excuse me, but I believe I said,

"What's your name?"

Eduardo Braz.

Would anybody like to join

Eduardo Braz in detention?

- Sure.

- Yeah.

Now, listen. That's it, okay?

This is my classroom.

And when you are in my classroom,

you're gonna have to cooperate.

That means you pay attention.

And you speak

when you are called upon.

What did I say?

- What is this?

- Just my sketches. Just junk.

Fine. Open your books.

Lolos or not, from now on, you

will be bothering with your books.

Gilbert, we're going to start

with you. What chapter?

- Six.

- Six. Okay, let's go.

If we do have to cut back

on custodial services...

well, we'll all

just have to manage.

Oil change.

Unsuccessful.

No problem.

We were just wrapping up.

All right,

if there's no further business...

- Just one more thing.

- Yes?

The district science fair.

I just realized

that it's this week...

and I was wondering why none

of our students are participating.

Frank, weren't you

helping Stenke with this?

Yeah. We couldn't

drum up any interest.

- That's not true.

- Excuse me?

That's not true. One of my students

was definitely interested.

I think if somebody had taken

a little bit more time...

maybe taken the whole thing

a bit more seriously...

Ah, time, seriously.

That's what I forgot.

You know, maybe you should do it

next year, okay?

If you're still here.

Sandra, look. I think we all

appreciate your enthusiasm...

but I also think

we need to be realistic...

about what we can accomplish

here at Kona-Pali.

But thanks for your comments.

And thank you all.

- Don't ever do that again.

- Pardon me?

You know, just work here a while,

and you'll understand.

Okay, Daniel,

so what the hell is this?

That's an idea I was working on.

What do you think?

- What are these things here?

- Dimples, like on a golf ball.

You have less friction, more speed.

And no sales.

Do you know how much it would

cost me to build a board like this?

- Even if it's buildable.

- It's just an idea, Guy.

Well, you wanna be a designer,

go to college.

You wanna earn five bucks an hour

from me, stick to the patterns.

Patterns are boring, Guy,

and we can do better.

You're a shaper, kid. Shape.

God, I'm, like, sick.

Oh, what a surprise! What time

did you get in last night?

Oh, God, Daniel, get some help.

Don't do that in front of me.

I can't handle school.

Turn this into the office

for me, would you?

So what's "craps"?

Cramps, Daniel, cramps.

God, you can be

so stupid sometimes.

I guess I'm busy.

Come on. Five bucks?

- Buy yourself some sunglasses.

- Ten, then.

Give me a break.

I'm your stepsister.

Now, you see, that's why

I don't give you a break.

If you had said, " Daniel, I'm

your sister," maybe I would have.

Okay, hold it.

You can all leave...

except for Luana, Gilbert,

Oni, Marco, Braz and Daniel.

Stay for just one minute.

Okay, you six are the only ones...

who still haven't come up with

a science project proposal.

Any ideas here?

Brilliant excuses?

Anything?

Well, I'm going to give you

a chance to change all that.

Because tomorrow night...

is the district science fair.

And I'm requiring

each one of you to attend.

- Yeah!

- Oh, man, Miss Beecher!

You can see

what the other kids are doing...

and hopefully you can get

a few ideas of your own.

See you at the science fair.

Daniel, wait a second.

I think you're gifted, but you might

want to save this for art class.

- See you at the fair.

- Bye.

- How long did it take to do that?

- About an hour, hour and a half.

- Isn't he cute?

- Yeah.

Hey, guys, you made it!

Good. Isn't this great?

- I've had enough. Let's go home.

- No. You just got started.

Do you see anything interesting?

The rats. Look at that.
