Race the Sun Page #7

Synopsis: Idealistic Sandra Beecher has just started working as a Science teacher at Kona-Pali High School in Hawaii, being hired for this job despite her teaching background being English. Her reason for taking the job is largely to run away from the mainland and a failed marriage. She finds that her students are an unmotivated lot, largely because there are low societal expectations of them, including from their parents and the school faculty. As such, she directs a handful of her most unmotivated students to attend a regional science fair at which there are no Kona-Pali displays to come up with their own science fair projects. An incident at the fair does spur one of her students, Daniel Webster, self-professed as not being good at most things but believing he is a good designer, to announce, with the support of his fellow students, that they want to build a solar powered car of his design as their project, and to enter that car in the upcoming Inter-island Race.

By coming here,

by competing against...

some of the best engineers, top

teams, top drivers in the world...

you've proved something else.

You know what that is?

That you don't ever,

and I mean ever...

get to call yourselves

the lolos again.

Come on.

Help me get this in the trailer.

With all due respect, sir,

you're wrong about one thing.

A lolo would pack it in now.

A lolo would take the easy way out.

That's what everyone would expect.

I'm not quitting.

Unless I finish this race...

no matter what the records say,

I'll always be a lolo in here.

If we drop the solar panels,

how much weight do we lose?

About 100 pounds.

Oni, how much juice

we got left in the battery?

Thirty, maybe forty percent.

Subtract that from Gilbert's

weight. It won't go fast, but...

- But it'll go, yeah?

- You wanna help me with this?

I'm new at this, remember?

What do you say, Braz? You want

to hang in with the haole...

kick a little butt?

Lead the way, bro.

- Let's do it! Come on.

- All right. Let's go.

Get in the car, Gilbert.

You can do it.

- All right, Gil!

- Can you help me, please?

Find a vise!

Come on!

Quiet!

Get going! Move it!

That's right.

The Hawaiian team...

those indefatigable kids

from Kona-Pali...

are still in the dance.

And here's the team's captain,

17-year-old Daniel Webster.

That's my boy.

Hey, guys, let me hear it!

Kona rules!

How am I doing, Marco?

You the driver, Cho! You the man!

My idea. It was my idea to come.

Hey, Frank, can you believe it?

I can believe anything now.

Come on, Gilbert! You can do it!

Stop the bus!

Go!

Don't let him quit!

- Come on! Come on, Gilbert! Go!

- I'm not gonna make it.

- You'll make it.

- This is all you! You got them!

Come on! This is your hill,

brother! You got it!

Keep pushing! Go!

- Come on, Gilbert! Go, Gilbert!

- He won't make it. He's too fat!

- Shut up! Come on, Gilbert!

- Push it! Push! Now push.

Please, a little further.

Come on. Go.

Go, Gilbert, just over that hill.

Come on, Gilbert!

This is your hill! Come on!

- Push it, Gilbert! Press it!

- Harder!

Yes!

Wait for me! Go, Cho!

There he is! Take him out, Cho!

Come on, Cho!

We can catch him!

Stay on his butt!

We're coming through!

Right there!

You got him! Hurry up, bro!

To the left! No, to the right!

Yeah, that's it!

It's all you, Gilbert! Go!

Move it!

- God!

- Okay. The slicky-boy special.

One, two...

You the man, Cho! Three!

You okay, mate? You all right?

We did it, bro!

We did it!

Kona rules!

Come on! Go!

Yeah!

Yeah, Gilbert!

Right on, bro!

- You still mad at me?

- Of course I am.

I'm your sister, right? Hey!

Here's to finishing.

Welcome to the club, Teach.

Barry Morrow

Barry Morrow (born June 12, 1948) is an American screenwriter and producer. He wrote the story and co-wrote the screenplay for Rain Man. Morrow was born in Austin, Minnesota and studied at St. Olaf College. Several of Morrow's scripts are inspired by real people, especially people with disabilities and/or extraordinary talents. These include the savant played by Dustin Hoffman in the film Rain Man, inspired by the real savant Kim Peek; and mentally disabled Bill Sackter, played by Mickey Rooney in the TV movie Bill. Both works received writing Oscar, Emmy and other awards for Morrow and for the actors who portrayed them. Morrow gave his Oscar statuette as a gift to Kim Peek. Morrow wrote CBS's Bill: On His Own (1983) and his relationship with Sackter is presented in the feature length 2008 documentary A Friend Indeed – The Bill Sackter Story.Morrow put his Oscar statuette on permanent loan to Salt Lake City in memory of Kim Peek, and put forward the money for the Peek Award, which "pays tribute to artists, media makers, and film subjects who are positively impacting our society’s perception of people with disabilities" and is given out by the Utah Film Center.Morrow is a member of the Association of Retarded Citizens, the National Association of Social Workers, and the Autism Society of America. He is an avid golfer, and is known to play the majority of his golf rounds using an eight club bag of hickory stick (wooden shaft) golf clubs made pre-1940. more…
