JC
Leg-pressing a large heavy boulder, then onto a one-handed handstand, all while still leg-pressing the boulder. The secret to my amazing physique: eat right, exercise, and never give up...on being awesome!
JC
[referring to Cody and his heroic efforts]
That's what I saw in him.

[opens a chest]
What I hold here is the key that will unlock one of the greatest mysteries of our time.
Why everything seems to taste like me?
No. This is the map to the most legendary surfing spot on the planet. [drumroll] The Trenches!
I thought that the Trenches were just, like, made up...to scare little kids.
Oh, it's real, alright. And everything you hear about it is true.
It's hidden somewhere on Slaughter Island, the most dangerous and mysterious place on the planet.
JC
Jagged rocks, huge cliffs.
It's a surfer's graveyard.
And we're going to ride it! RTL! Am I right, guys?
Heck yeah! RTL!
Hang 5
RTL!
Hey Joe, what does RTL mean?
I don't know, man. Rumbly tummy...ooh, something? [farts] Oh, I shouldn't have eaten all those escargogos.
Surfing the Trenches will be the greatest ride of my life. [frowns] And my last.
Because you're gonna die?!
No! Because I'm retiring.
Hang 5
[surprised]
WHAT?!
JC
Boss, you can't be serious!
Hey, I'm not getting any younger. It's time for me to settle down.
What does that mean? We're gonna be the Hang 4 from now on?
Maybe not. Big Z always said Pen Gu breeds great surfers. I think it's time we add a new member.
Have somebody in mind, boss?
[laughs]
I'm not gonna give away the surprise just yet. But I think I might've found someone very special. [Cody looks back and smiles, assuming he'll be part of the Hang 5]
[lands his glider]
Alright!!! Who's awesome? I'm awesome! [sees the team surrounding Chicken Joe] Whoa, what's going on, everyone? [gasps]
You destroyed it when you bumped Tank into Joe.
JC
"Sorry" doesn't cut it, Cody. What the heck were you thinking?
Yeah, man, why'd I ever do to you? All these years of friendship, and he still... [sniff] He still keeps these-these walls up, and...I don't know how to break 'em down. [fakes crying] I just don't know what to think anymore.
[scoffs in annoyance]
Are you kidding me, dude? [points at Tank] This guy's been sabotaging me since day 1!
And you think that makes it okay?
Well, I, yeah. I-I was just tryna win, y'know? So I could prove I can be one of you.
JC
Putting your friends in danger only proves that you're nothing like us.
The Hang 5 is a family.
We have each other's back, no matter what.
Lani, please tell 'em I didn't mean for this to happen. Alright? You know me!
[as she carries Chicken Joe on her shoulder]
Yeah, Cody, I do. And that's why I'm just so disappointed in you right now.
JC
[the rest of the team walk away] [picks up his board]
And you were doing so well too. [walks away]
I told you from the start this kid's trouble. He almost got the chicken killed. That would have been on you, JC.
JC
Cody's not like that, Mr. McMahon. He just got carried away competing with Tank. That guy's been acting like a jerk the whole time.
I wanted to know how Cody deals with his problems since you thought he was special. And now I know. We're a team, JC. That kid doesn't care about anything other than winning. And he doesn't give two sand crabs about who gets in his way. Maybe that's what you saw in him back at Pen Gu. Have you thought about that?
JC
Lani, wait! [Lani stops and turns around] I think you gotta let Cody work things out on his own. He'll come back when he's ready.
But how can you be sure?
JC
I've been where he's at. Trust me, he just need time to think.
[Lani steps down]
JC
That Tank guy is ridiculous! He's like a cartoon villain. Why did you let Hunter bring him?
Everyone is here for a reason. I wanna see how the rest of the newbies deal with him. [pause] You still think Cody has what it takes?
JC
Look, Mr. McMahon, I know he wiped out out there, but he's a good surfer. Just give him a chance.
I'm not talking about surfing! [referring to Cody] I've been watching him. I think he's a bit of a hothead. He might want this too much.
JC
Don't worry about it. He's just like me at that age. He'll be cool.
Alright, we'll see.
JC
[Cody and JC are waxing the surfboards, Cody is in a rage from Tank cutting him off]
Dude, Cody, we're just tryna wax the boards, not set 'em on fire. You're gonna burn a hole in that thing.
Ugh! Tank cheated. He knocked me off my board. That's why we lost.
JC
Yeah? I didn't see anything. You sure?
He totally rubbed it in my face. He practically admitted to it!
JC
That's messed up, man. But you know what? Maybe let it go. It's not worth getting all bent out o' shape about. We had an awesome day, right? Were those dunes gnarly or what?
Yeah, that was pretty epic. And I get to ride with you guys! It still feels pretty surreal. I mean, like, I can't believe this is actually my life right now, y'know? I just... I just wish that I hadn't let you down.
JC
Let me down? What are you talking about? Look, man, there are plenty of jerks out there. If it's not Tank, it'll be somebody else. Just take the high road. You'll be a lot happier, I promise.
Alright, man. You got it. [he and JC high-five each-other]
