Holiday in the Sun

And where does the hydrogen come from?

Carbon dioxide, or the hydrogen dioxide?

It comes from the water. H2O.

It is an oxidation-reduction reaction, and we breathe it in and reduce it...

oxidizing sugar and forming water.

Photosynthesis is what?

It is the reverse.

Respiration is energy releasing.

Alex...

are you dreaming what I was dreaming?

Winter break in Hawaii.

Hanging out with the cutest guys in the world?

Dead on. This is gonna be awesome.

Our first chance at independence.

Away from the parents.

Alex and Madison Stewart, please report to the principal's office.

Okay, ladies, off you go.

- Katherine! - Hey, guys.

- We're going to the principal's office. - No, you're not. You're coming with me.

- Is Dad okay? - Dad's fine.

He asked me to pick you up from school early.

You've finished your finals, right?

Right.

And you've aced them?

- Hopefully. - Then let's go.

'Bye.

- Surprise! - Hi, Dad! How are you?

Come on, guys. We gotta go.

Hurry up. Buckle up.

Hey, buckle up because we're next for takeoff, okay?

So, Dad, where are we going? Hawaii?

Are you sending us there to hook up with our friends?

No, we're not going to Hawaii today, girls. We're going...

somewhere much better.

I'm taking you to Atlantis.

Atlantis?

As in the Lost Continent?

No. The Atlantis Resort...

in the Bahamas.

The Bahamas?

But we really wanted to go on a school trip to Hawaii.

- We have no friends in the Bahamas. - There are no luaus in the Bahamas.

There are no lifeguards in the Bahamas.

We're just saying, what do the Bahamas have that Hawaii doesn't?

Well...

me and your mother...

and I need the beach...

and I need a martini.

Stat! Okay.

You ready?

'Cause I gotta get in there and make this thing fly.

You guys are gonna get hungry, aren't you?

I wonder if I have anything for you.

Wait a minute.

- Did Dad come through? - Thank you.

Did Dad come through? That's nice.

Okay, buckle up. Seriously. We gotta go.

How sweet. Dad remembered our security blankets.

All glazed.

- Hi. - Hi, Mom.

Welcome. I missed you.

I missed you.

We missed you, too.

Hello. Hello.

- This place is just as beautiful as Hawaii. - I'm so excited.

- How was your flight? - Smooth.

Did the Graysons arrive?

I don't know. We'll check at the hotel. You have to see it. It's a blast.

Not bad.

We have a surprise for you.

You worked very hard at school. We're very proud of you.

And so we thought it was time you had your own suite.

Thank you!

Why don't you check the front desk and see if the Graysons have made it yet.

Sure, Mom.

Excuse me.

Were you in line?

Brianna Wallace. Messages, please.

Certainly, Miss Wallace. And how is your father today?

In the casino, wondering why this is taking so long.

I'm sorry.

Thank you.

And thank you.

Next time, take a number.

Welcome to Atlantis. How are you today?

Good. Have the Graysons checked in yet?

- We're here! - Come on.

Hey, everybody.

Hey.

Good to see you.

Lovely. Lovely.

Hey, Griffen. Hey, Keegan.

Hi, Madison.

And...

And Alex.

Hi.

Hi.

Listen, Harr. I've been thinking about the Frankfort acquisition.

I'd like to run some numbers by you. Over drinks, of course.

Chad. As your CEO and your friend...

I direct you to stop all business for five days.

- It's really difficult. - I understand.

What's that sound?

That's the sound of the beach calling our name.

Go ahead. We'll see you later.

Don't forget to put on sun block.

Dad, I'm heading to the pool.

Go.

Me, too.

- Bye-bye. - Watch her.

These family vacations are great...

but we're old enough to be on our own now. I mean, we're turning 18.

What?

In three years.

He's a good one.

Computer-gaming magnate waiting for technology to catch up with him.

Please don't tell me you're up for hanging out with Chad and Jill...

and their bratty daughter Keegan, and their nerdy son Griffen?

I don't know if you've noticed, but Griffen isn't so nerdy anymore.

Shut up!

This one's ready for marriage.

How do you know?

Pierced ear.

He knows pain and he's bought jewelry.

"I feel the need.

"The need for speed."

Look.

Oh, my God.

They look like they're having so much fun.

Look how much fun they are having.

- To family. - Yeah.

- To family. - To family.

Hot enough for you?

Smokin'.

Hey, runt, don't sneak up on me like that.

I wasn't watching Madison. I was...

scanning the horizon for ships.

Yeah. That's why your deeply repressed feelings...

are written all over your face.

- What do you know? - Everything, I have a stunning IQ.

You know, I've made a decision.

I'm going to enjoy all aspects of this vacation.

I'm officially letting go of this whole Hawaiian vaca-thing...

with our friends.

It's gone.

Maybe not gone gone, but I'm trying hard to work through it.

Strong move. Very empowering.

- Do you see? - I'm all over that.

Impressive.

Hey, girls. Do you party?

Sure.

Very impressive.

Thank you. Now it says here...

the Caribbean has long been a stronghold for smugglers and pirates.

Mom, please, we have nothing they want.

Keegan, did you make that beautiful necklace?

It's nothing. Just a typical string of mollusk-less cohabitations.

Exactly.

Okay.

Puka shells.

Right.

Griffen will be in college next year.

Any idea what you want to study?

I've always been interested in flying insects, like bees, wasps, hornets...

So you're gonna study entomology?

No. I was actually thinking aeronautical engineering.

A good choice.

Wow! Would you look at the time. May we be excused?

This guy Scott invited us to a party.

A party? Well, I don't know.

Where is it?

Right here at the hotel.

Okay. But I want you back by 11:00, okay?

Okay.

Dad, is it cool if I go, too?

Yeah. Sure. Just remember you've got a curfew, too, buddy.

Okay.

Well, I guess they're on their way to not needing us.

The onset of adolescence among offspring is frequently difficult to accept.

Perhaps my mom can help you work through some issues.

She's a professional.

My card.

I'll get the drinks.

Pineapple smoothies for us will be just fine. Thanks.

Hottie at 10:00.

He's smiling at you.

I'm not blind. I saw that.

Now he knows I saw that.

Hey. I'm gonna dance.

Good for you.

So, do you want to join me?

Sure.

- What's your name? - Alex.

That's it, just one name?

It's one more than you.

Jordan. Are you here on vacation with the fam?

Yeah. You?

Oh, I live here. I take care of the marine habitats at the Atlantis.

It's enormous. Some people say it's the largest in the world.

It's amazing.
