Max:
Dad, listen, about my directions...
Zacky turns his back on him.
Max:
Will you listen to me? I gotta tell you something, Dad!
Zacky turns his back again.
Zacky:
Why bother? I'm probably too stupid to understand anyway, right?
Max:
Oh, forget it!
Max gives up and walks back to the car. He kicks a tire and then leans on the hatchback. The car rolls forward and leaves Max sprawling in the dirt.
Max:
Hey, hey, hey! The car!
Zacky:
What? Now you want to drive too?
Max:
No, Dad! The car! Look!!
Zacky:
Oh, the car!
They begin chasing after the car as it rolls down the mountain highway.
Zacky:
What'd you do now, Max?
Max:
I didn't do anything, Dad! I only touched it!
The car goes under a low underpass and knocks their equipment off. Zacky steps on a skateboard and Max joins him. They catch up with the car and Zacky manages to grab the door handle.
Zacky:
You locked it!
Max:
I locked it? It's your door. You locked it!
Max goes around to the other side and gets in.
Zacky:
Well, you distracted me!
Max rolls down the window and pulls Zacky half into the car.
Max:
You should have put the brake on!
Zacky:
Why don't you just put it on yourself?
Zacky attempts to set the brake, but it comes off in his hand.
Max:
See? You ruin everything!
The car has dislodged the retaining fence and Zacky is being shaken by the posts as the car rolls over them.
Zacky:
Well, you ruined the vacation!
The car sails into the air and bounces on some rock formations.
Max:
I ruined it?
bounce.
Max:
I never...
bounce.
Max:
...wanted to go...
bounce.
Max:
...on this stupid...
bounce.
Max:
...vacation!!!
The car make a final dive into the river. Max gets separated from the car, but manages to swim back to it. Zacky is hanging from the side of the car.
Max:
Now, look where you got us, Dad!
Zacky:
Where I got us?
Zacky boosts Max to the roof.
Max:
You should'a let me stay at home!
Zacky:
Why? So you'd end up in prison?
Max pulls Zacky up to the roof. The car goes through some rapid.
Max:
Prison? What are you talking about?
Zacky:
Your Principal called me...
Max:
It's not what you think, Dad...
Zacky:
You even lied to me!
Max:
I had to! You were ruining my life!
Zacky:
I was only trying to take my boy fishing, okay?
Max:
I'm not your little boy anymore, Dad! I've grown up! I've got my own life now!
Zacky:
I know that! I just wanted to be part of it!
The car gets past the last of the rapids.
Zacky:
You're my son, Max. No matter how big you get, you'll always be my son.
The car slowly drifts downstream and Zacky and Max sadly sit on the roof with their backs to each other. The sun breaks through the clouds and Max finally decides to break the silence.
Max: (singing)
There are times you drive me, shall we say, bananas
And your mind is missing, no offense, a screw.
Zacky: (spoken)
None taken!
Max: (singing)
Still, whatever mess I land in
Who is always understandin'?
Nobody else but you!
Zacky: (singing)
Oh, you moodiness is now and then bewildering
And you values may be, so to speak, askew!
Max: (spoken)
Gezuntheit!
Zacky: (spoken)
Thanks! (Singing)
Who deserves a hero's trophy
As we face each catastrophe?
Nobody else but you!
Both: (singing)
Nobody else but you!
It's just our luck
We're stuck together!
Nobody else but you!
It's crazy enough to believe we'll come through!
Max: (singing)
So your jokes are all, let's face it, prehistoric!
Zacky: (singing)
And your music sounds like monkeys in a zoo!
Both: (singing)
But when life becomes distressing,
Who will I be S-O-S-ing?
Max: (singing)
If you're having trouble guessing
Here's a clue!
'Though he seems intoxicated,
He's just highly animated!
And he's nobody else but...
Both: (singing)
Nobody else but you!
We've turned into
A true blue duo!
Hard times--we've had a few...
Zacky: (singing)
Like we're thrown in the drink...
Max: (singing)
Like we're tossed out of town...
Both: (singing)
But when I start to sink,
Hey, I'd rather go down
With nobody else but Y - O - you!
Zacky kisses Max
Max:
(Spoken) Aw, Dad!
Fade to further down river. Max has apparently explained everything he did and why.
Max:
...Well, anyway. I figure she's never gonna want to talk to me again, much less go out with me. Dumb lie, huh?
Zacky:
Well, what do you know. My Maxie -- in love! Gosh, you're really grown up! It happened so fast, I guess I sort of missed it! Welp, I think the only thing for us to do now is to get you up on stage with this Powerline fellow.
Max:
Uh, how are we going to do that?
Zacky:
Now, you just leave that up to me.
Max:
No, Dad, really. I think we should just, you know, forget it.
Zacky:
Now, how come you always think I'm going to lead you into some sort of calamity?
Max looks ahead, shocked.
Max:
Duh, duh, Dad?
Zacky:
What's wrong now?
Max turns his dad's head forward.
Max:
Look!!!
The car is approaching a high waterfall.
Zacky:
(matter of factly) A waterfall. (panicked) A waterfall?!!!!!
Zacky and Max attempt to paddle upstream and fail. Zacky gets thrown from the car and grabs a rock. Max continues towards the falls on the car.
Max:
Dad!!!
Zacky:
Max!!
A fishing pole hits Zacky in the back of the head. Zacky grabs it and climbs over the rock formations trying to find a good place to try and reach for Max. He finally gets to a log and climbs to the end of it. He extends the pole towards Max.
Zacky:
Grab a hold, Max!
Max tries and misses. The car goes over a rock in the river and flips over. Max gets tangled in a tarp. Zacky tries to stop the car from going over the falls by casting the line to it and succeeds for a moment. then the force of the falls breaks the log and Zacky is dumped in the river. Max and car go over the falls, Max still entangled in the tarp. As he falls, the tarp becomes a parachute and the updraft from the falls carries him up above the falls. Max then sees his father heading for the edge of the falls.
Max:
Dad!!
With a final effort, Zacky extends the fishing pole still in his hand towards Max. Max grabs the end. For a moment, the two are dangling above the falls. Then the cork handle of the fishing pole comes off and Zacky begins to fall again.
Zacky:
Max!!!!!
Max almost without thinking spins the fishing pole around and starts doing the Perfect Cast.
Max: (to himself)
Ten o'clock. Quarter to three. Tour Jete. Twist. I'm a little teapot. Let 'er fly!
The fishing line flies toward the retreating figure of Zacky. Both are soon lost in the mist at the base of the falls. Max begins to worry that he is too late. Then the line goes taut. Max begins to get pulled down but he starts reeling in the line. Soon, the figure of his father can be seen, hooked by the seat of his pants. Max, relieved, reels Zacky in all the way. Zacky with tears in his eyes knows how his son saved him.
Zacky:
The Perfect Cast!
Zacky and Max hug each other. The map, blown by the wind land on Zacky's head.
Max:
Boy, this has been one crazy vacation.
Zacky:
And it's not over yet!
