Little Savages Page #2

What'?

Okay. Sorry I ruined it.

What are you talking about'?

That was... That was hilarious.

It was, you know...

We were okay.

Hey, I got to go

to the grocery store.

So you want to hang here

and you know,

meet me by the boat

in say, half an hour?

I don't know.

What don't you know?

You got to get out there.

You got to make friends.

You got to be a man about town.

Hey, if you see Tiffany you

tell her to meet me by the boat

by five o'clock, okay'?

No later.

Five o'clock. Have fun.

Yeah, I know, right'?

Oh, man. Oh!

So you here for the whole summer?

I don't know.

Yeah, my dad won't tell me

why we came back out here.

I remember when

you used to live here.

You were tiny.

That's 'cause I was six.

Huh, look what we have here.

A little... Dweeb.

No one says "dweeb" anymore.

What are you doing here, dweeb'?

Technically, I'm more

of a bookworm.

"Dweeb" is vintage, all right'?

It's totally in.

Your mom is vintage.

Okay, shut up.

No one plays your mom anymore.

Come on, I asked you a question.

What are you doing here?

I was auditioning.

He's auditioning.

I know what he

was auditioning for.

He was auditioning

for a-a-a dweeb!

What...

A science book?

This kid's got a science book

in the middle of summer.

I mean, how much of a loser

do you got to be'?

You know, this kid from the...

You know what I'm saying?

Right'? Right'? Whoa!

Oh, you didn't.

If you do not leave him be,

I will cast a spell on you

that will tum you purple

and then green

and I will put hair on your back

and boils on your face.

An evil mutant plague shall be cast

upon you and your entire family.

I'm not touching him.

Is this how you saw this going?

No. Can I admit something?

If you must.

I don't really know magic.

Good to know.

Whoa!

What's up, Aaron?

The lake is pretty clean.

I love summer.

I hate it.

I just want to leave.

Hey, there are two things

you should know.

Number one, never let

anyone see you cry in public.

And the second thing'?

Well, look at the bright side.

Now we get to have our revenge.

And how are we

going to do that'?

Well, my cousins, the Savages.

Who?

They live

on the outskirts of town

beyond the junkyard.

Some say they

were born of Vikings,

raised by wolves

and trained samurai...

Can I stop you right there'?

Samurai haven't

been around since 1871.

Oh, did I say samurai?

I meant covert ninjas.

Ch-ch-ch-ch-chow!

I'll pass. I just want

to be left alone.

We shall be avenged!

He's not on Facebook.

Are you for reals'? I know.

I was like, "I can't believe"

"you don't have the Internet."

And he says,

"I have the Internet."

"I just don't have Facebook."

I'm confused.

It doesn't make sense.

How am I ever supposed to figure

out his relationship status'?

That's what I'm saying.

Excuse me.

Oh, my aunt is here.

Great. Later.

Bye. Bye.

Do you two not own a watch'?

Huh'? Seriously,

you're like 20 minutes late.

Uh, no. Only old

people wear watches.

Oops.

Oh. Oh, Well...

lucky for me

I don't own a watch.

Oops.

Aunt Jackie, Abella just wrote.

Can I have dinner with her'?

Yeah, yeah.

Please, go have dinner with her.

Thanks, bye. Bye.

I'll miss you.

So it looks like it's just

me and you for dinner.

What you say, Albie'?

Sure. Sure, okay.

Hey, I see finally decided

to go for a swim.

Proud of you.

It wasn't by choice.

Oh, well then I take it back.

Clutz.

Well-known philanthropist.

We all knew Mr. Whittmore

was a bit of an eccentric.

He once said in an interview

that he never really fit in.

Interesting news

in regards to his will

is surfacing now,

a year after his passing.

Thank you, Daisy.

We'll have more

as that story develops.

Why do you think it took so long

to release Mr. Whittmore's

final statement?

I don't know the logistics

behind it all,

but the news that Mr. Whittmore

has hidden a treasure chest

containing a sizable amount

of his estate

has officially been released.

Do you think it was a final ploy

to increase tourism in this

town he loved and called home?

Culver doesn't need any more

tourists during the summer.

We do fine already.

But it is buried here in Culver.

Yes.

And Mr. Whittmore hid clues

to help one

lucky individual find it'?

That's right.

Well, I think we can expect

our little town

to get a bit busier

over the next few days.

I'm Daisy Larson,

Channel 11 News.

Now, Mr. Whittmore was known

for being an inventor,

but he was actually a very

accomplished businessman.

In fact, he gave loans

to other businessmen

hoping to better the community.

Have you ever been

to Whittmore's root beer stand'?

No. No'?

Well, Mr. Whittmore

gave a man named Fritz Bronson

a sizable loan

to start the root beer stand.

With your contributions

I'd like to open

a root beer stand

where patrons can enjoy a nice

cold beverage during the summer.

That sounds like the best

idea I've ever heard.

He just loved the idea

of seeing the community flourish.

He wanted that to be his legacy.

All right.

The root beer stand

was very popular.

But Fritz was always looking

for a way to make more money.

So he wanted to sell the root

beer stand to turn a profit.

But Dr. Whittmore didn't want

something that the community enjoyed

to go away,

so he bought it from Fritz.

I've never had root beer.

You've never had root beer.

Okay, I don't even know

what to say to that.

I'm going to take you.

I think I'm allergic.

Maybe you will meet some new

friends and they can take you.

I don't think people

like me here.

Why would you say that'?

This boy kind of threw me

in the lake.

That's the guy.

Oh, Billy Bronson.

It's pretty late. Sorry,

I lost track of time.

I don't think you should be

hanging out with kids like Billy.

Okay. Tiffany, if you don't learn

to function without that thing,

your brain is going

to turn into mush.

Tiffany. Yeah.

Why would you want

to hang outwith people

who think it's cool to throw

kids in the lake'? Jackie!

You whiny little tattletale.

Billy just said

they were having fun.

That is your brother.

Just leave me alone, okay'?

I don't even want to be here.

You know, just because

Mom and Dad are too busy for us

doesn't mean they

just dump us here.

Okay, that's unfair.

Life is unfair.

They're not too busy.

Maybe we all

just need some sleep.

Come on.

Get dressed.

Grandma needs an oil change.

My pontoon boat,

I named her Grandma

after my grandma.

She needs an oil change.

Get dressed.

Yeah. What was I

telling you, man'?

They just ran off.

It was so great.

And I was like,

that's not his hand.

Walk away. Walk away.

I was like, whoa.

Oh, man.

I need you to tune this up.

Yeah, I need it in tip top shape

for this weekend's

Wave Runner competition.

Yeah, we've got a heavy

workload this week,

but I can take

a look at it for you.

Well, you take

a look at it then.

In the meantime,

we'll be out there

smashing it up

in my new Master craft.

Oh, yeah, the green one,

number 25.
