Andy, are you ready?

Get up here.

I'm done with my boat, mom.

We're gonna

be late to the airport.

Please bring your bag down.

I can't find it.

Did you look under your bed?

What are you doing up there?

Babe you got the passports?

Yeah, I got them.

Daddy, daddy look.

Oh, yeah it looks good,

the sail looks great.

- You almost got it.

That's good.

I checked the weather,

not a drop of rain all week.

I know, that's great.

Hello.

Can you take the luggage out?

Honey, can you guys take

the luggage outside, please?

- Andy where's your bag?

- I was saying, he has to...

Andy. Where's your bag, sweetie?

Yeah, I saw the X-ray.

Well, schedule an mri

and let's just wait

to see what the results

of the blood test are

and we'll talk next week, okay?

Email me his results.

Yeah, thank you. All right.

- Daddy.

- Yeah?

Are we gonna go on jet skis?

Because Colin said

he went on a lake

and his dad let him

drive a jet ski.

Six year old Colin rode

a jet ski by himself?

He went 100 miles per hour.

And he also said

that his dad can

kick your ass because

you're a doctor.

First of all do not repeat

bad words after Colin.

Secondly, doctors are pretty

tough, you'd be surprised.

And I highly doubt Colin

rode a jet ski by himself.

Then promise me we

will go together then.

I promise.

Kevin, Andy,

so you're finally leaving.

Lucas, yeah.

Uh, Jules found a really

good deal in the Caribbean.

We're gonna spend some

quality time with the family.

Oh, that's what

vacations are for.

And only because of you,

Margie and I were able to spend

our last vacation together.

I know, I know, it's okay,

you don't have to thank me.

By the way Julie mentioned

you can't start

the lawnmower again.

I'll tell you what,

I could show you how to fix it.

It's simple,

it'll only take a second.

It's a small engine,

and they're all the same.

I'm... I'm on vacation.

I'm not fixing

anything right now.

Andy your father

can fix a human heart

but he can't fix the lawnmower.

Be careful, some areas are

not very safe out there.

Thanks, Lucas,

I'll keep that in mind.

- Toodle-loo.

- Have a nice week.

Kevin, slip the

concierge a little

something extra

he'll upgrade your room.

Money... that's how

everything works down there.

Okay.

Thanks.

Au revoir.

- Daddy, what's a concierge?

- Uh...

Daddy, is treasure island real?

Yeah, for sure,

hundreds of years ago

pirates used to hide

treasure on deserted islands.

Why?

Mm... so no one else could

figure out where they hid it.

Why didn't they keep their treasure

at home with their families?

Pirates don't have,

homes, you know, or families.

If they didn't

have homes or family

why did they need treasure?

That's a good question.

Hey, come here.

What do you think?

It's pretty amazing.

It is pretty good. Yeah.

- Welcome.

- Hi.

May I have your name and

reservation number please?

Kevin Riley.

Uh, I don't think I'm really

particularly good at this

but if you were willing

to upgrade our room,

I would be willing to compensate

you, personally, financially.

Certainly, let's see

what we have available.

Thanks, man.

So what do you think

of the honeymoon suite?

It's pretty great,

nice to finally see one.

Oh, come on.

Our honeymoon suite was nice.

I'm sorry our honeymoon suite

did you just say?

Our honeymoon suite

was a tiny bed

in the back of an rv

on the way to Mexico.

So? That sounds like fun,

it was great.

- It was the worst trip ever, that's what that is.

- I thought it was fun.

I know you did.

Love you.

- Hi, there.

- Good morning, how are you doing?

- Good, how are you?

- I'm good, I'm good.

How can I help you today?

I want to get a jet ski, please.

Oh... man, uh, yep, I'm sorry

but we're all out for today.

You know the list is full,

so sorry.

Actually, if you can

give me your name

I can book you for tomorrow.

No I get it,

I get it, that's cool.

Sir, sir we don't...

Sir, we don't have any jet skis.

Okay, my son,

he's never been on one before

and I swear to you

it's all he talks about.

So if there's anything that

you could do it would be great.

It would mean a lot to me.

I'm not... you know what,

I'm not even supposed to

tell you this

but... but you can rent a

motorboat from one of the locals.

A couple of kilometers down

you'll see a bunch of guys

and they have all kinds

of boats, all right?

Hey, mister.

What you got there?

- Five dollar fish.

- No, thanks, nice fish though.

Yo, my friend, you need a boat?

- Yeah.

- Only 300, bro.

- Which one?

- Right there the white one.

Right here, my man.

The fastest boat is right here.

Yeah, right, give me 250.

- Three hours for $200.

- Give me 250.

Come here, you gonna like it.

Right here, right here come on.

Just give me 250.

- Come on, come right here.

- He says 200.

Fun boat, you're gonna love it.

- Go ahead.

- Thanks, man.

- I like this one.

- How you doing, sir?

- I'm good, how are you?

- Fine, this is a good boat,

man.

- This is the fastest

boat ever, okay?

- Okay.

That engine right

there 60 horsepower.

- Okay.

- It came from a old sport boat.

- All right.

- Just $200 for three hours,

cash please.

- Thank you very much.

- You need my license?

Get in, come on, no man, I don't

need your license, come on.

- Okay. - What you gonna do,

you gonna steal my boat?

- Maybe. - You can take it,

I'll get insurance money.

Don't worry, man,

just bring it clean

and I'm not gonna charge

you a cleaning fee, okay?

So sit down, I'm gonna

show you how it works, okay?

Okay, very simple okay,

put the gear in drive.

And you're gonna put the

throttle control lever up

and that's it

you're ready to go.

- Okay.

- You got the life vests

right there, okay.

- And make sure if you got

kids put them on them.

- Okay.

And you got a full

tank of gas, be safe.

Now remember if you go swimming,

remember to drop

the anchor, okay?

'Cause when you come back you're

not gonna see

the boat again, okay.

Have a good trip.

You can steer it, here we go.

- Babe.

- Yeah?

Where did you find this thing?

Well they

didn't have any jet skis

but the good thing

is this is safer

and we're all together, right?

Wow.

Oh, I see how it is.

These guys think

they can take us huh?

What do you say we show

them what we can do?

- Buckle up.

- Do it.

Yeah, faster, daddy, faster.

Bet you Colin

never went this fast.

Kevin. Kevin!

- Yeah?

- Slow down.

Okay.

Babe, listen, I think

we should go back.

We can't even see

the land anymore.

- No.

- Yeah, we got two hours left,

come on.

I think it's gonna take

us a while to get back.

We should turn around.

All right, you know

what your mom is right.

- Let's turn this baby

around and we'll...

- Sorry.

Cruise around closer

to shore, okay?

- No.

- I know, buddy, I'm sorry.

I don't mean to

be a party pooper.

It's safer.

Island, island,

I wanna see the island.

Daddy, treasure island.

I don't think it's a good idea.
