Ch. 3
Madtown on Saturday (competition day):
Otto: You ready Bro? You're up next.
Twist: Yeah. I feel pretty good about this.
Otto: Well, good luck.
Twist. You too, bro.
(They do their handshake)
Announcer: Our next skater is Twister Rodriguez! (Twister climbs the halfpipe and starts his routine.)
Reg: Wow! He's really ripping it!
Sam: Go Twister!!
Otto: It's just the same old moves though. Anyone can do that.
Sam: Wait...look!
Reg: WOW!!! He actually did it!!!
(Otto's eyes get really big)
Announcer: Did you see THAT folks? That may just be the move to put Rodriguez on top!
(Otto's jaw drops)
Otto: No Way! I don't believe this!
(Twister finishes his routine)
Announcer: It's official! Twister Rodriguez takes the top position!! That bumps Reggie Rocket into the 2nd position. Now we only have one skater to go, Local favorite Otto Rocket!
(Otto skates to the halfpipe and twister skates back to Reggie and Sam)
Reg: All right Twister! You rocked!!!
Sam: Way to go Twister! You should have seen the look on Otto's face!
Twist. Thanks guys. Sorry about bumping you down to 2nd Reggie.
Reg: No problemo Twist. You were way better than me!
Twist: Lets go watch Otto.
(Otto starts his routine)
Announcer: Rocket is really shredding up the halfpipe! This is going to be a very close competition!
(Otto Finishes)
Announcer: In just a minute we'll know the winner of the 2nd annual 4th of July skateboard championship.
(Otto skates back to Reg, Sam and Twister)
Twister: That was awesome Bro!
Otto: Thanks man. I think I have that trophy in the bag!
Announcer: it was a tough call, but the judges have made a decision. This years skateboard champion is.... OTTO ROCKET! Congratulations Otto! Our runner up is Twister Rodriguez. Otto and Twister come get your trophies!
Otto: ALL RIGHT! Go Otto, it's my birthday, go Otto, it's my birthday!!!
(Otto does his victory dance for a few minutes then goes to get his trophy. Twister just stands there looking really upset then finally goes and gets his (much smaller) trophy too).
Reg: What is their problem? I think Twister definitely deserved first place.
Sam: I think so too Reggie. But it is the judges' decision.
(Otto and Twister come back with their trophies).
Otto: ALL RIGHT! Another one, two finish bro!
Twist (quietly): Yeah, just like always.
Otto: I RULE Madtown!! I am the KING of the halfpipe!!!!
Twist (sarcastically): Yeah Otto, you're the king.
Otto: What's up with you dude? Aren't you even going to congratulate me?
Twist: CONGRATULATIONS Otto. You win AGAIN! I practiced my moves for two damn days and you win AGAIN! Go tell the world that you're the king!
Sam: Uh oh. I don't think this is gonna be good.
Otto: So you're saying that you want me to wipe out and lose so you can feel good about yourself?
Twist: No Otto. I don't care if you won. I figured that you would win anyways. I just wish that you would stop telling everyone how wonderful you are and think about your buds for once. I came in 2nd and Reggie came in 3rd, but all you can talk about is how you're the best! Just once you could say, "good try twist" or "awesome moves bro", but NOOO, you have to rub it in my face that you won AGAIN!
Otto: I can't help it if I'm the best!
Reg: You're totally missing the point, Otto.
Otto: Stay out of this Reggie!
Twist: Even if you did win, you're still a LOSER dude. You'll always be a loser until you stop thinking about yourself all the time.
Sam (cringes) OH no!
Otto: WHAT did you say? ME? A LOSER? NOBODODY CALLS OTTO ROCKET A LOSER!!
Reg (trying to keep peace) Come on guys lets just forget about it and go have some fun.
Twist (ignoring her): I just did, LOSER!
Otto: You're the only loser here man. And a stupid loser at that.
Twist: What do you mean?
Otto: You're biggest dumbass in school, MAURICE; you've got to know that!
Twist: So maybe I don't get good grades, but at least I'm not a damn little shrimp with a huge ego problem like you.
Otto: I may be smaller than you, but I can still whomp your ass all over this beach!
Twist: Bring it on man!!
(Twister and Otto start throwing punches at each other. Reggie and Sam try to pull them apart, but they won't stop. A crowd is forming around them. Raymundo and Tito run up and get them apart).
Ray: Hey! What is going on here?
Tito: Yeah little cuzzes. You should be congratulation each other, not beating each other up!
Twist: Otto doesn't know how to congratulate anyone but himself.
Otto: Whatever MAURICE. Go to hell.
Ray: OTTO!! Watch your mouth! Is this about the competition?
Tito: I think so brodda.
Ray: It's just a game guys. There's no need to fight about it. You're both winners!
Otto: I'm still #1 though unlike that sore LOSER over there.
Twist: Yeah, well you can be #1 by yourself cause I'm outta here. Forget you man! Go find yourself a new best bro. LATER!
Otto: Yeah…much later dude!
(Twister skates off)
Reg (sarcastically): Way to go Otto.
