Stop, Alberto!

Let it go!

Look out!

Porca paletta, what was that?

Huh?

Bah!

Not now, Ciccio!

Eyes on the water!

Move, move!

Okay.

Oh, no!

Luca!

Alberto!

She’ll see us.

Come on!

Look, I was just trying to show you how to do it right.

You don’t know how to do it right!

I got us down the hill, didn’t I?

You crashed!

Into the sea!

It’s fine.

Nothing’s fine!

My parents just saw me!

Luca, your parents aren’t here.

You don’t know what you’re talking about!

Look, this town is making you crazy.

We just need to win that Vespa and get outta here.

It’s not gonna be any different.

I don’t wanna.

I wanna go to school.

That again?

We can’t go to school.

You’re just afraid you can’t do it.

I’m not afraid.

You’re the one who gets afraid.

Shut up!

Ow!

What happens when she sees you?

When anyone sees you?

Get off me!

You’re alive!

Hey!

You’re never allowed on my bike again.

Stick to food, big guy.

Uh, what’s going on?

Nothing.

Let’s just get back to training.

Actually, we have something to ask you.

We were wondering if we could come with you to your school?

Santo pecorino!

That’s the best idea ever!

Yes!

Of course!

Uh, Giulia, your school,

does it take all kinds of people?

I mean, what if some of them were not human?

Alberto.

What if some were, oh, I don’t know, sea monsters?

Sea monsters?

I doubt your school would even accept sea monsters, right?

Ah, that’s a weird joke, Alberto.

Yeah, I know, it’s kinda hard to imagine.

So, let me just show you!

No!

Come on.

Giulia, wait!

We don’t have time to goof around.

Huh?

Help!

Don’t hurt us!

See?

I knew this would.

Sea monster!

Did you hear that?

This way.

Luca?

Stay back!

Sea monster!

There it is!

Ragazzi, now!

No!

Ah, idioti, you let it get away!

To the boat!

We’re gonna kill a sea monster!

Oh, there you are.

I made your favorite, trenette al pesto.

Where’s Alberto?

Uh, he left, Signor Marcovaldo.

Do you know where he went?

No.

But I don’t think he wants anyone looking for him.

Maybe not.

But just in case.

Okay.

Well, the two of us can still do the race.

You’ll swim, you’ll eat, you’ve done both before.

Luca, I.

and I’ll do the ride.

I mean, that’s allowed, right?

Luca.

Luca?

It should be fine, we’re still okay.

Luca!

Sleeping under the fish.

Now I get it.

Uh, I can explain.

Of all the places for sea monsters to visit, Portorosso?

Have you seen this town?

My father hunts sea monsters!

Luca, you have to get out of here.

But I thought we were underdogs.

Do you think I want you to leave?

This is the happiest I’ve.

Look, it’s just not worth it.

You don’t understand.

No, I don’t.

Risking your life for a Vespa?

My parents were gonna send me away.

That’s why we did all of this.

But it’s over now.

Goodbye, Giulia.

I’m sorry.

Alberto?

What are you doing here?

I’m.

I’m sorry.

I.

I never should’ve done that.

I wish I could take it back.

Yeah, whatever.

You’re sorry.

Now, just go away!

Alberto?

What are those marks on the wall?

Tell me what they mean.

I started when my dad left.

You were living here alone for that many days?

I just stopped counting after a while.

He said I was old enough to be on my own.

I just thought that.

maybe he’d change his mind.

Honestly, though, I get it.

He’s better off without me.

You are, too.

That’s not true.

Yes, it is.

You’re not like me.

You’re the good kid.

And I’m just the kid that ruins everything.

Silenzio, Bruno.

That’s just the dumb voice in your head.

You taught me that.

And getting a Vespa?

Seeing the world.

Just let it go!

Okay?

Look, you and I should’ve never been friends in the first place.

Don’t say that.

Alberto?

Get outta here!

I’m not gonna tell you again.

Okay.

I’ll go.

I’ll go win the race.

What?

Yeah.

Yeah!

And then the Vespa will be ours!

And we’ll ride away together!

Luca, that’s crazy.

Well, maybe I’m crazy.

Take me, gravity!

Luca!

Ow.

What are you doing?

I’m okay.

I’ll be back tomorrow.

I’m gonna fix this!

You want to split up your team?

Yes.

If it’s allowed.

Luca?

What are you doing here?

Don’t worry.

I’ll race on my own.

You can if you want, but I don’t recommend it.

Thank you!

But how are you gonna.

I mean, what happens when the.

You can’t swim!

Alone again?

Hmm.

Ah, volunteers.

Huh?

you’re late.

Huh?

One cup for each kid.

Oh!

Yeah.

One cup per kid.

Yes.

Got it.

Here.

For when Giulia, you know, she.

Ciccio, hold still.

Olio d’oliva.

He will cut through the water like a knife.

Oh!

Ah.

An oily knife.

Huh?

Huh?

This makes me laugh.

I guess even your terrible friends don’t want to be friends.

Luca!

This is a very bad idea!

Hey, vagrant!

Can’t afford a proper swimsuit?

Signore e signori, the Portorosso Cup is about to begin!

We know there’s been a few sightings lately, but fear not!

If any sea monsters show up today, we are ready for them.

Swimmers, take your mark!

Ow!

Ow!

Ow!

What?

Swim, Ciccio!

Come on!

Swim!

Ha-ha!

Trenette!

Come on!

Thank you.

Don’t thank me.

Stop crying and tag Guido!

Imbecille!

Andiamo!

Run, run!

Finito!

Per mille cavoli, Guido!

Faster!

Eat, idiota!

Più veloce!

Hey, that’s not allowed.

He’s done!

Done!

Whoa.

But he’s gotta be here somewhere.

Thirsty?

Water, anyone?

Please, don’t!

Not again!

That’s him.

That’s him!

Luca, stop!

Sorry, Mom!

Sorry, Dad!

I have to do this!

Get back here right now!

Wow.

He’s fast.

What?

Oops!

Scusa.

I’ll catch you on the downhill!

Spewlia, you never even made it to the downhill.

What?

Impossibile!

He’s cheating!

Arbitro!

Arbitro!

Huh?

No, no, no!

Ooh.

Oh, not now!

Come on, come on!

I’m so close!

Luca!

Just stay right there!

Alberto.

I’m coming for you!

What’s wrong, piccoletto?

Afraid of a little rain?

Hey!

Huh?

For the last time, you two don’t belong here.

Get out of my town!

Sea monster!

Right there!

Huh?

Mamma mia!

Ciccio!

My harpoon!

Veloce!

Alberto.

No, stop!

Just stay there.

You’re still okay.

Andiamo!

Alberto, wait!

No!

What?

Whoa!

You really are crazy!

Learned it from you!

Let’s get to the water!

No!

Ciccio!

Here it is.

Hey there.

Excuse us.

Out of the way!

Via, via!

Ha-ha!

Luca!

Sorry!

Oh, no!

Luca!

Son!

You should’ve left when I told you.

Now, I gotta kill some sea monsters!

So long, evil empire of injustice.

No!

Giulia!
