Surf's Up quotes
Page 1 of 3Interviewer "Still, it must have been traumatic." Cody "No not for me man, not for me."
I mean, I already lost one father...
Overvoice
What do you mean by that?
N...nothin'.... Just forget it.
[Cody turns and tearfully walks away]
Why didn't you come back after you fell off the wave?
[miserably]
That wave... [sighs. Flashback is shown where young Z and Tank are competing] That last day, winning had become everything to me. I knew I was gonna beat Tank. But then uh, you know... he starts to surf circles around me. I saw what he was doing, I couldn't do what he was doing. Times had changed, you know, he... I didn't wanna walk back on that beach with all my fans there, you know, "Loser. I'm lookin' at Big Z, the loser, the has-been." So... [camera footage is shown where in a massive wave, Z had let go of his board and it smashed into the rocks] poof! Big Z's dead, and that's how it's gonna stay. Let me play that song. [begins playing his guitar]
You're giving up, Z! You're giving up!
Yeah! I'm givin' up, that's my way. Givin' up.
I- I thought you were the one guy.
[fed up]
You don't like it, find your own way! [walks back to his shack] Leave me out of it! Leave me out of it.

Any other skills besides surfing?

Sea urchin in the foot, that sounds pretty nasty. How do you cure something like that?
You pee on it.
Overvoice
That's disgusting.
I knowww.
What are you talking about? Whaddaya think we're doing?
We're acting like a couple of nut jobs, that's what I think we're doing.
Yeah, good. You're learning.
[in a "vox pop" segment]
My surfboard, uh, well, it's made out of palm wood... and while it's not very pretty... [the skeg of the surfboard can be seen falling off] ...it does the job quite well.
This is insane.
Stop fighting it, Cody! Just let go!
Lani, we're in the shower together! Y'can say whatever you want.
[teaching Cody to carve a board]
All right, look. First of all, with the grain. With the grain. You see what I'm doing here? You let the tool do the work, you see? Just like you're riding the wave, you let the wave do the work. You don't fight the wave. You can't fight these big waves.
[last lines]
DON'T YOU WALK AWAY FROM ME!! I AM REGGIE BELAFON--[Mikey rips his hair off] OH! [to the filmmakers] TURN THAT THING OFF! MIKEY! YOU ARE SO FIRED!!!
A role model? No. But I consider myself somebody that everyone should look up to. Kids should try to pretend that they're Tank. I mean, they should try. [chuckles] Good luck, kids!
A winner is someone who doesn't knock me off my surf board, and break it when I'm trying to get some big waves. Specially Tank he is definitely not a winner.
Ah, crap!
Ah, that didn't take too long. I feel lightheaded.
Bring me some more clams!
Can't this blubber ball go any faster? Step on it, fish stick!
