-KAY: MITCH, THIS
IS SO NICE OF YOU,
BUT I REALLY FEEL GUILTY ABOUT
TAKING THE AFTERNOON OFF.
-GUILT FEELINGS? I LIKE THAT.
-HEY!
I'VE BEEN BUSTING MY BUTT
TRYING TO GET THIS PAPER GOING.
YOU KNOW, I JUST WANT
THE VENICE VOICE
TO STAND FOR SOMETHING.
I WANT IT TO HAVE AN IMPACT.
AND I WANT TO ADDRESS THE ISSUES
THAT AFFECT OUR COMMUNITY.
A LAPTOP COMPUTER?
-BORROWED IT FROM THE OFFICE.
-WHAT FOR?
-MITCH: YOUR LEAD STORY.
-MY LEAD STORY?
-THERE IT IS. THE
SAN DIMAS PIER.
-WHAT ABOUT IT?
IT'S CONDEMNED. I THOUGHT
THEY WERE GONNA TEAR IT DOWN.
-THAT'S JUST IT, THEY'RE
NOT TEARING IT DOWN
UNTIL THEY FIGURE OUT
WHO'S GONNA PAY FOR IT.
THE OWNER'S HAVE FILED A
LAWSUIT, BUT BETWEEN THE COUNTY,
THE STATE, THE OWNERS,
AND THE ATTORNEYS,
THE WHOLE THING COULD BE
TIED UP IN COURT FOR YEARS.
MEANTIME, IT'S A MAGNET
FOR EVERY MACHO SURFER
TRYING TO SHOOT THE PIER.
SEE THAT BLACK STUFF
AROUND THE PILINGS?
-KAY: YEAH.
-IT'S CALLED REBAR.
CUTS YOU UP REAL GOOD.
-WHY DON'T YOU JUST CLOSE
DOWN THE BEACH IN THIS AREA?
-IT'S A GOOD IDEA, BUT
WE DON'T HAVE THE MANPOWER
TO PATROL THE AREA
24 HOURS A DAY.
-I DON'T KNOW, MITCH.
TO BE PERFECTLY HONEST WITH YOU,
I DON'T THINK
THERE'S A STORY HERE.
I MEAN, NOBODY CARES
ABOUT A COLLAPSING PIER.
[WAVES CRASH]
-HEY!
-KAY: WHAT'S WRONG?
[DRAMATIC MUSIC]
[WAVES CRASHING]
IS HE ALL RIGHT?
-YEAH. HE'S CUT. I DON'T
THINK IT'S TOO BAD, THOUGH.
EASY, EASY, EASY. THERE YOU GO.
DO ME A FAVOR.
-ALL RIGHT.
-PUT SOME PRESSURE RIGHT HERE.
-UH HUH.
-MITCH: IT'S EASY.
THAT'S IT. I'LL BE RIGHT BACK.
NEXT TIME READ THE
SIGNS, HUH, BUDDY?
-IT'S GOING TO BE OKAY.
IT'S GOING TO BE ALL RIGHT.
-ALL I KNOW IS THAT SOONER
OR LATER, SOMEBODY'S GONNA GET
SERIOUSLY MANGLED
ON THE PILINGS.
-MITCH, I UNDERSTAND
YOUR CONCERNS.
I FEEL EXACTLY THE SAME WAY.
I PUT IN A CALL TO THE
COUNTY COMMISSIONER.
-WHAT DID HE SAY?
-HE'S, UH, NOT IN.
-BIG SURPRISE.
-LOOK, MITCH,
I KNOW THERE'S BEEN SOME
FOOT-DRAGGING ON THIS,
BUT WE STILL HAVE TO WORK
THROUGH THE PROPER CHANNELS
ON THESE MATTERS.
-NOT ANYMORE.
KAY MORGAN'S GONNA
RUN A FRONT PAGE STORY
IN THE VENICE VOICE.
-YOU THINK IT'S WISE TO
GET THE MEDIA INVOLVED NOW?
-NOBODY'S LISTENING
TO US, CAPTAIN.
MAYBE SHE'LL GET
THEIR ATTENTION.
-WHAT IS IT WITH THESE
SURFERS TODAY, MITCH?
I MEAN, WE NEVER HAD
TO PROVE ANYTHING.
RUNNING A GAUNTLET OF SOME
BATTERED PILINGS? [CHUCKLES]
I MEAN, IT WAS ENOUGH
JUST BEING OUT THERE,
GETTING ON TOP OF A WAVE,
FEELING THE POWER OF THE
WORLD UNDER YOUR BOARD.
-HANGING TEN.
-HANGING TEN.
-WALKING THE NOSE.
-WALKING THE NOSE.
-[CHUCKLES] WOULD
YOU TWO FOLLOW ME?
I'VE GOT SOMETHING TO SHOW YA.
AH, THIS WAS MY FIRST
SURFBOARD, GENTLEMEN.
A MICKEY DORA ORIGINAL,
COMPLETE WITH A HATCHET SKEG.
THIS OLD PLANK AND I
GO BACK A LONG WAY.
-LONGER THAN EITHER ONE OF
US CARE TO REMEMBER, EH, BEN.
-[LAUGHS] YEAH.
-YOU KNOW, I'LL NEVER
FORGET MY FIRST STICK.
IT WAS A HAND-ME-DOWN
FROM MY BROTHER, BUZZ.
BOY, COULD THAT BABY RIP.
YOU KNOW, I OFFERED IT TO HOBIE,
BUT HE SAID HE WOULDN'T BE
CAUGHT DEAD WITH AN ANTIQUE.
SO I HAD TO GO OUT AND BUY
HIM ONE OF THOSE NEW JOBS,
YOU KNOW, THE TRI-FINS
WITH THE GORILLA GRIPS.
THAT DAMN THING COST
ME A WEEK'S SALARY.
[LAUGHING]
-TELL ME ABOUT IT, HUH?
-AT LEAST THE WAVES
ARE STILL FREE, MITCH.
-YEAH. WELL, SO FAR.
[INSPIRATIONAL MUSIC]
-SEE, FEEL THE MATERIAL.
THE FINEST QUALITY IMPORTED
DIRECTLY FROM BRAZIL.
THE BARGAIN OF A LIFETIME.
$25, TWO FOR $40.
-EDUARDO! WHAT'S THE
SPECIAL OF THE DAY?
-BIKINIS.
-EDDIE: AH.
-MADE FROM A NEW
ORGANIC MATERIAL.
ONE SIZE FITS ALL.
PLEASE.
YOU WILL LOOK EVEN MORE
BEAUTIFUL, IF THAT'S POSSIBLE.
-I HAVE ENOUGH BIKINIS,
EDUARDO, THANK YOU.
-SO, YOU GOT A PERMIT?
-A PERMIT? OF COURSE.
I'M A BUSINESSMAN. NATURALLY,
I WOULD HAVE A PERMIT.
ONE SECOND, PLEASE.
IT SEEMS I LEFT THIS
PERMIT IN MY CAR.
-WELL, WHERE IS YOUR CAR?
-UNFORTUNATELY, MY WIFE
DROVE IT TO THE DOCTOR'S.
SHE'S VERY ILL.
I HAVE TO SELL THESE
BIKINIS TO BUY HER MEDICINE.
-ALL RIGHT. THAT'S
ENOUGH, EDUARDO.
WE'RE GONNA LET IT
SLIDE THIS LAST TIME,
BUT THAT'S IT.
COMPRENDE?
-EDUARDO: ABSOLUTELY.
I AM A LAW ABIDING CITIZEN.
I LOVE THIS COUNTRY.
I WILL DO WHATEVER YOU SAY.
LOOK, SEE, FEEL THE MATERIAL.
THE FINEST QUALITY, IMPORTED
DIRECTLY FROM BRAZIL.
-HEY.
WHAT'S THE STORY HERE?
I THOUGHT YOU WERE
SUPPOSE TO CLEAN YOUR ROOM
BEFORE WE LEFT.
-I DID.
-YOU DID?
WHERE?
ALL RIGHT, JUST DO ME A FAVOR.
MAKE YOUR BED AND I'LL HELP
YOU WILL ALL THIS JUNK.
-WHY DO I HAVE TO MAKE MY BED
WHEN I'M NOT EVEN
GONNA TO SLEEP IN IT?
-YOU HAVE TO MAKE YOUR
BED BECAUSE I ASKED YOU TO.
NOW COME ON, GET IT TOGETHER.
I DON'T WANT TO
MISS THE CEREMONY.
-THERE'S GONNA BE A CEREMONY?
-THAT'S RIGHT.
FIRST, WE MAKE A
SACRIFICE TO THE GODS,
ASKING THEM TO BRING GOOD WAVES.
-A HUMAN SACRIFICE?
-WORSE. A CHERISHED SURFBOARD.
ANCIENT RITUAL, HANDED DOWN
FROM ONE GENERATION TO NEXT,
HA HA.
SOMEDAY, YOU'LL PASS
IT ON TO YOUR SON.
-UM, I DON'T THINK SO, DAD.
I KINDA PLAN ON BEING
NORMAL, IF YOU DON'T MIND.
-WHY, I OUGHTA [SCREAMS]
[LAUGHING LOUDLY]
TAKE IT BACK!
YOU KNOW WHAT?
IF I SAID THAT TO MY FATHER,
YOU KNOW WHAT HE'D DO TO ME?
HE'D DO THIS.
[EXCLAIMING LOUDLY]
TAKE IT BACK!
-I TAKE IT BACK.
I TAKE IT BACK.
[PHONE RINGS]
-OH. I GOT IT, I GOT IT.
-HELLO? UH, YOU MUST HAVE
THE WRONG PHONE NUMBER.
THERE'S NO ONE NAMED ROVER HERE.
-WAIT, WAIT, WAIT,
WAIT! THAT'S MY BROTHER.
-UNCLE BUZZY?
-BUZZ! YEAH. HOW
THE HELL ARE YA?
WHERE THE HELL ARE YA?
WHAT ARE YOU DOIN'
IN SANTA BARBARA?
[CHUCKLES] YEAH, WE'RE
HAVING THE CEREMONY.
I'M WALKIN' OUT THE
DOOR IN TEN MINUTES.
YEAH, TRACAS.
-HOBIE: IS HE COMIN'?
-HE'S COMING.
-YES!
-SEE YA THERE! YEAH!
-UH OH, NO!
[WAVES CRASHING]
[FESTIVE DANCE MUSIC]
-OH, MY GOD. HELLO, CAPTAIN.
-MITCHELL, MITCHELL!
-EH. KELLY, STAY IN
SHAPE, WILL YA? [LAUGHS]
-HEY, MITCH.
-MITCH: HEY.
-WHAT'S THIS ABOUT
YOUR BROTHER SHOWIN' UP?
I THOUGHT HE WAS
LIVIN' IN NEW ZEALAND.
-NEW GUINEA, NEW GUINEA.
-OH. I KNEW IT
WAS NEW-SOMETHING.
[MEN EXCLAIMING LOUDLY]
-HEY, DAD. WHY DOES
UNCLE BUZZ STAY AWAY?
I MEAN, HOW COME
WE NEVER SEE HIM?
-REALLY DON'T KNOW, HOBE.
HE LEFT HOME WHEN I
WAS ABOUT YOUR AGE.
SAID HE WAS GONNA
FIND THE PERFECT WAVE.
I THINK HE'S PROBABLY
STILL LOOKING FOR IT.
[ENGINE SHUTS OFF]
-HEY! I'M BACK!
YOU! I WANT YOU! I AM BACK!
[CROWD CHEERS]
-UH, OH.
[LAUGHING]

HOBIE! COME HERE,

[LAUGHS]
HOW YOU DOIN', HOBIE, HUH?
-HOW YOU DOIN', UNCLE BUZZY?
-ALL RIGHT, BUDDY.
HE LOOKS JUST LIKE YOU, ROVER.
-HE'S A GOOD LOOKING KID.
[LAUGHS]
-WHY DO YOU CALL HIM ROVER?
-WHY DO I CALL HIM ROVER?
WELL, WHEN HE WAS A KID,
HE USED TO TAG ALONG WITH THE
BIG KIDS, LIKE A LITTLE PUPPY.
-YEAH, IT WOULD DRIVE YOU NUTS.
-WHAT ARE YOU DOIN'?
WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE?
-WHAT? YOU EXPECT ME TO WAIT
IN THAT VAN ALL DAY, OR WHAT?
-I WANTED IT TO BE A SURPRISE.
HOBIE, THAT'S YOUR COUSIN KYLE.
-PLEASED TO MEET YOU, MAN.
-HE'S MY SON. [CHUCKLES]
-HEY!
[LAUGHS]
-HEY.
[LAUGHS]
-HOW COME YOU NEVER
TOLD ME ABOUT HIM?
-[SIGHS] I SUPPOSE BECAUSE
HIS MOTHER NEVER SAID ANYTHING.
REMEMBER I WAS LIVIN' UP
IN BIG SUR IN THAT COMMUNE?
AND, WELL, THERE WAS
THIS LADY UP THERE.
FELECIA. GOD, SHE WAS BEAUTIFUL.
SHE LOOKED LIKE JULIE CHRISTIE.
ANYWAY, WE DUG EACH
OTHER AND, YOU KNOW ME.
I'M NOT ONE FOR STAYING
IN A PLACE TOO LONG,
ESPECIALLY FOR A CHICK.
SHE NEVER SAID ANYTHING ABOUT
BEING PREGNANT BEFORE I SPLIT,
AND I NEVER HEARD
FROM HER AGAIN.
-HOW'D YOU FIND OUT ABOUT HIM?
-SHE DIED THREE MONTHS AGO.
THEY TRACKED ME DOWN AT
BELL'S BEACH IN AUSTRALIA.
SO I CAME BACK, PICKED
HIM UP. HE'S MINE.
-UH, NO OFFENSE OR
ANYTHING, BUT UH, YOU SURE?
-THAT HE'S MY SON?
-YEAH.
-YOU GOTTA SEE HIM SURF.
[CHUCKLES]
-UNREAL. UNREAL!
THE BUZZ MAN IS A POPPA. HAH!
HOW YOU FEEL ABOUT THAT?
I MEAN, WHAT ARE YOU GONNA DO?
-BEATS THE HELL OUTTA ME.
-NO, I'M SERIOUS.
-I KNOW YOU'RE SERIOUS.
YOU'RE ALWAYS SERIOUS.
YOU WERE BORN SERIOUS.
I'M THE ONLY SCREW-UP
IN THIS FAMILY.
HEY, LOOK, MITCH.
I DIDN'T COME TO TALK
ABOUT MY PROBLEMS.
I CAME TO SEE MY
BRO, GET SOME WAVES.
LET THESE TWO KIDS GET
TO KNOW ONE ANOTHER.
-OH. HEY, I'M GONNA
POP A CHILL. WANT ONE?
-WHAT'S A CHILL?
-A BEER. HOW OLD
ARE YOU, ANYWAY?
-TEN AND A HALF, ALMOST ELEVEN.
[BEER TOP FIZZES]
-HUH. KNOCK YOURSELF OUT.
-UH, NOT THANKS.
-GO ON, TAKE A HIT.
IT'S NOT LIKE YOU'RE GONNA
BE DRIVIN' OR ANYTHING.
[BEER FIZZES]
-OH!
-HEY, HOBIE!
COME ON, GUYS. CUSTOM DICTATES.
SACRIFICE MUST BE MADE
AT STROKE OF MIDNIGHT.
COME HITHER. COME HITHER.
[WHISTLE BLOWS]
-LADIES AND GENTLEMEN!
LADIES AND GENTLEMEN!

-LOOKS LIKE YOU'RE READY TO GO.
-DADDY! [GIGGLES] HOW ARE YOU?
-ACTUALLY, I'M
A LITTLE NERVOUS.
THERE'S A GUY DOWN THERE
JUGGLING A CHAINSAW RIGHT
NEXT TO MY AUTOMOBILE.
-DID YOU GIVE HIM SOME MONEY?
AND DON'T WORRY,
HE'S A PROFESSIONAL.
-[CHUCKLES] YOU DON'T
SEE THAT KINDA THING
IN PASADENA VERY MUCH.
-THAT'S WHY I MOVED
HERE TO VENICE.
-I KNOW.
I GOTTA TELL YA, KAY.
YOUR MOTHER AND I ARE
VERY PROUD OF YOU.
STARTING YOUR OWN NEWSPAPER
ON A SHOESTRING BUDGET.
THAT'S NO SMALL ACCOMPLISHMENT.
I'M IMPRESSED. VERY IMPRESSED.
-IS THAT WHAT YOU
CAME ALL THE WAY
FROM PASADENA TO TELL ME?
-NOT ENTIRELY.
MY FIRM REPRESENTS THE
OWNERS OF THE SAN DIMAS PIER.
-THE BAD GUYS, AS IT WERE.
-IT'S NOT THAT
CUT AND DRIED, KAY.
-NOT NOW IT ISN'T, NO.
NOT WITH THE TWO OF
US GOING HEAD-TO-HEAD.
I'D SAY IT'S GOTTEN
RATHER STICKY.
-HEY, WAIT A MINUTE. I'M NOT
ASKING YOU TO KILL THE STORY.
-GOOD BECAUSE I WON'T.
-I JUST WANT YOU TO
LISTEN TO MY SIDE OF IT
BEFORE YOU PUBLISH.
THAT'S FAIR, ISN'T IT?
-IT SOUNDS FAIR, WHICH
MAKES ME HIGHLY SUSPICIOUS.
-[CHUCKLES] COME ON, I'LL
BUY YOU A CUP OF COFFEE.
-SAY, ANYMORE OF
THOSE THAI NOODLES?
-KILL IT.
-THIS REMINDS ME OF THIS
LITTLE PLACE IN PHUKET, RIGHT.
WE'D BE OUT IN THE
WATER ALL DAY, YOU KNOW?
AND WE'D COME IN AND GREASE ON
A BIG BOWL OF THESE NOODLES.
7HEY, DIDN'T I SEND YOU A
POSTCARD FROM THAILAND?
-OH, YEAH.
UM, I THINK I TOOK IT TO
SHOW AND TELL FOR SCHOOL.
-THAILAND IS AN UNREAL PLACE.
THE SURF IS LAME, BUT THE
CHICKS ARE AWESOME, DUDE.
[LAUGHS]
-CAN I HAVE SOME MORE COKE?
-HEY, CAN I HAVE SOME?
-NO. FINISH YOUR MILK.
-KYLE GETS COKE.
-COME ON, A LITTLE
SODA? HERE YOU GO, HOBIE.
-BUZZ.
-WHAT, DAD?
I MEAN, LISTEN TO YOURSELF.
THAT'S WHO YOU SOUND LIKE.
DON'T DO THIS, DON'T DO THAT.
YOU GOT A RULE FOR
EVERYTHING. LIGHTEN UP, BRAH.
-WHY DON'T YOU SHUT UP?
ANYBODY WANT ANYMORE CHICKEN?
-NO, NO. I'M DONE.
-HEY, BUZZ. GOT ANY BREAD?
WE'RE GONNA GO
CRUISE THE STRAND.
-WAIT A MINUTE.
WHAT DO YOU MEAN WE'RE
GONNA GO CRUISE THE STRAND?
-WE'LL BE HOME BEFORE CURFEW.
-DON'T EVEN THINK IT.
-WHAT IS THIS, SOME KIND
OF JAIL OR SOMETHING?
-HEY, KYLE, SLOW DOWN.
I HAPPEN TO AGREE ON THIS ONE.
I READ WHERE THERE'S SOME
GANG SHOOTINGS DOWN THERE.
-HEY, BUZZ, MAYBE YOU'LL GET
LUCKY. MAYBE I'LL GET SHOT.
-KYLE. HEY, KYLE,
WAIT A MINUTE, MAN!
-CAN I BE EXCUSED?
-GO ON.
-WELL, AS YOU CAN SEE, WE
HAVEN'T EXACTLY BONDED YET.
-THINGS ARE MOVING A LITTLE
FAST FOR HIM, THAT'S ALL.
-[SCOFFS] YEAH,
FOR THE BOTH OF US.
TALK ABOUT GOING
THROUGH SOME CHANGES.
ONE DAY I'M SITTING ON
THE BEACH IN AUSTRALIA,
THE NEXT DAY I'M
SOME ANGRY KID'S DAD.
NO, IT WAS NOT SUPPOSED
TO HAPPEN LIKE THIS.
-SO YOU MAKE A FEW
ADJUSTMENTS. THAT'S LIFE, BUZZ.
THE GREAT MYSTERY
TO BEING A FATHER, ANYWAY.
A LOT OF COMMON SENSE, INSTINCT.
YOU KNOW, REMEMBERING HOW
MOM AND DAD HANDLED THINGS.
-YEAH, THEN DO EVERYTHING
EXACTLY THE OPPOSITE.
-OH, YOU KNOW, WHY DON'T
YOU LEAVE THEM ALONE?
THEY DIDN'T MAKE YOU LEAVE HOME.
-HEY, I LEFT HOME BECAUSE
I DIDN'T BELIEVE IN THE WAR.
THAT'S WHY. AND HE'S
NEVER FORGIVEN ME FOR IT.
-WHAT GROUPS YOU INTO?
-WELL, I DON'T HAVE
ANY REAL FAVORITES.
-NEW KIDS ON THE BLOCK?
MAN, WHAT A BARNEY.
-WHAT'S A BARNEY?
-A GEEK.
-HOBIE: OH.
-YOU EVER LISTEN TO THE DEAD?
-HOBIE: THE WHO?
-THE GRATEFUL DEAD.
THEY WERE MY MOM'S
FAVORITE GROUP.
I MEAN, SHE TOOK ME TO
A LOT OF THEIR CONCERTS.
IT'S LIKE ALL THESE OLD
HIPPIES. MAN, WHAT A TRIP.
-HOW DID YOUR MOM DIE?
I MEAN, IF YOU DON'T WANT TO
TALK ABOUT IT, THAT'S OKAY.
-NO, NO, THAT'S ALL RIGHT.
I MEAN, I DREAM
ABOUT IT EVERY NIGHT.
SHE, UH, SHE WAS RIDING HER BIKE
AND THIS CAR
CRASHED A STOP SIGN.
NEVER EVEN SLOWED DOWN.
JUST, IT WAS JUST LIKE, POW.
SHE, UH, SHE WENT
STRAIGHT UP IN THE AIR.
CAME DOWN RIGHT
ON THE WINDSHIELD.
-YOU SAW IT?
-I WAS RIGHT BEHIND HER.
I SAW THE CAR.
I YELLED.
BUT SHE DIDN'T HEAR ME.
[LADY YELLING]
[LADY YELLING]
[YELLING]
-HEY, WHAT'S THE MATTER?
-MY BATHING SUIT!
IT'S FALLING APART.
-OKAY, ALL RIGHT. JUST RELAX.
-OH, GOD.
-CALM DOWN.
-EDUARDO!
[WOMEN SCREAMING]
[SIREN WAILING]
-WHAT'S GOIN' ON?
-EDUARDO'S SUITS
ARE DISINTEGRATING.
-WHAT?
-YEAH.
-SHAUNI: OH, GOD.
[CROWD CHEERING AND CLAPPING]
HEY, YOU TELL EDUARDO
I WANNA TALK TO HIM!
-YEAH, WELL, TAKE A NUMBER.
-MY WIFE SAID YOU WERE
SELLING THOSE BIKINIS.
-OH, I'M SORRY, BUT
THEY'RE ALL GONE. SOLD OUT.
PERHAPS NEXT WEEK.
-YEAH, WELL, SHE WANTS HER
MONEY BACK, AND SO DO I.
AS A MATTER OF FACT,
WE ALL DO.
-WELL, UH, THERE'S A
SLIGHT PROBLEM WITH THAT.
YOU SEE, ALL SALES ARE FINAL.
OH, IT'S A VERY STRICT POLICY.
BUT SEEING AS HOW WE'RE
SO CLOSE TOGETHER,
MAYBE I CAN GIVE YOU
A PARTIAL REFUND.
DO YOU HAVE A RECEIPT?
[ENERGETIC MUSIC]
-HEY, MAN, THE SWELLS
ARE PUMPING. LET'S GO OUT.
-I CAN'T. I GOT
JUNIOR LIFEGUARD.
-OH, MAN, BAIL IT.
-I CAN'T.
-MAN, THAT'S WEAK. YOUR DAD
MAKES YOU DO ALL THIS STUFF?
-NO, I LIKE IT. IT'S FUN.
BESIDES, YOU LEARN A LOT.
-YEAH, LIKE HOW TO BE A BARNEY.
LOOK, MAN, ALL I CAN SAY
IS YOU'RE GOING TO MISS OUT
ON SOME GNARLY WAVES.
-WHERE YOU GOING?
-SAN DIMAS PIER.
MET SOME DUDE, SAID THEY WERE
THE HAIRIEST BREAK AROUND.
-YOU CAN'T SURF THERE
IT'S TOO DANGEROUS.
-NOT FOR ME. LATER.

[HOWLS]
-HERE, ROVER. HERE, BOY.
-SOUNDS LIKE A KENNEL IN HERE.
-THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
-YEAH, YEAH.
-HEY, HOW YOU DOIN'?
-DID YOU SEE THIS?
-HEY, HOW'S KAY'S ARTICLE?
-WHAT ARTICLE?
-YOU ARE NOT THE PUBLISHER
OF MY NEWSPAPER. I AM.
-KAY, YOU SAID YOU WERE
GOING TO RUN THE STORY.
WHAT HAPPENED?
-I MADE AN EDITORIAL DECISION.
-WELL, IF YOU DON'T MIND,
I'D LIKE TO KNOW WHAT
PROMPTED THE DECISION.
OR IS THE UPCOMING
VENICE PLEASURE FAIR
YOUR IDEA OF
HARD-HITTING JOURNALISM?
-OKAY. I WAS PAID A VISIT BY
THE ATTORNEY FOR THE OWNERS.
-SO WHAT? WHAT'S THE PROBLEM?
-HE HAPPENS TO BE MY FATHER.
-YOUR FATHER?
-KAY: MHMM.
-ELLIS MORGAN IS YOUR FATHER?
-YEAH. HE SAID HE SPOKE
TO YOU ON THE PHONE.
-YEAH. HE DID, A
COUPLE OF MONTHS AGO,
AND HE WASN'T VERY HELPFUL.
-THIS IS THE FIRST
TIME IN MY ENTIRE LIFE
THAT HE'S EVER ASKED
ME FOR A FAVOR.
-IT'S NOT ABOUT FAVORS.
YOU SAW WHAT HAPPENED
TO THAT SURFER, KAY.
IT'S ABOUT SAVING LIVES.
-I KNOW WHAT IT'S ABOUT,
MITCH, AS DOES MY FATHER.
HE'S JUST TRYING TO
REACH A SETTLEMENT
THAT ALL THE PARTIES
CAN AGREE TO,
AND HE THOUGHT IF
I RAN THE STORY
IT MIGHT JEOPARDIZE
THE NEGOTIATION.
-I DON'T BUY ANY OF IT. YOUR
DAD'S JUST ANOTHER ATTORNEY.
IT'S A STALL TACTIC.
-STAY AWAY FROM THE PIER.
ANYONE SURFING IN THIS AREA
WILL BE SUBJECT TO ARREST.
THE PIER HAS BEEN CONDEMNED.
TAKE YOUR BOARDS AND LEAVE
THE AREA IMMEDIATELY.
DO NOT ATTEMPT TO SURF THESE
WAVES OR YOU WILL BE ARRESTED.
-SEE, I TOLD YA.
LET'S GET OUT OF HERE.
-WAIT A MINUTE. I
WANT TO CHECK THIS OUT.
-THE PIER HAS BEEN CONDEMNED.
ANYONE SURFING IN THIS
AREA WILL BE ARRESTED.
[KNOCKING AT DOOR]
-HEY, HOBE.
SOMEONE'S AT THE DOOR!
-HEY, EDDIE.
-EDDIE: HEY, HOBE.
CAN I COME IN?
-YEAH, SURE.
-EDDIE: GREAT.
IS YOUR DAD AROUND?
-UH, NO, BUT HE SHOULD
BE HERE PRETTY SOON.
-KYLE, HOW'S IT GOING?
[SIGHS] HEY, YOU KNOW, I MISSED
YOU AT JUNIOR GUARDS TODAY.
-OH, YEAH, SORRY ABOUT
THAT. I SHOULD'VE CALLED.
-YEAH, WELL, YOU KNOW,
I WAS JUST WORRIED
ABOUT YA, THAT'S ALL.
I JUST THOUGHT MAYBE SOMETHING
MIGHT'VE HAPPENED TO YA.
-OH, NO. WE WENT SURFING.
-OH, YEAH? WHERE'D YOU GO?
-UH, SUNSET BEACH.
-SURFING TWO PLACES AT ONE
TIME. THAT'S A GOOD TRICK.
I SAW YOU AT THE PIER.
-YOU WERE IN THE BOAT?
-SO, WHAT? ARE YOU
GONNA TELL HIS OLD MAN?
-NO. HE IS.
-BUT HE'LL KILL ME.
-[SIGHS] LOOK, HOBE.
I KNOW YOUR DAD.
I KNOW HOW HE FEELS
ABOUT YOU. HE LOVES YOU.
AND HE TRUSTS YOU.
AND THAT'S WHY YOU
GOTTA TELL HIM THE TRUTH
BECAUSE IF YOU DON'T,
YOU'RE GONNA BLOW THAT TRUST
AND THINGS WILL
NEVER BE THE SAME.
[SCOFFS]
SAME GOES FOR YOU.
-WHAT?
I'M SUPPOSE TO TRUST A GUY WHO
DOESN'T EVEN KNOW WHO I AM?
OR EVEN CARE?
-WHY DON'T YOU
GIVE HIM A CHANCE?
IT'S A TWO-WAY STREET.
WHY DON'T YOU GIVE A LITTLE
INSTEAD OF TAKING ALL THE TIME?
-HI, GUYS. HEY,
EDDIE. WHAT'S GOIN' ON?
-NOTHING. I JUST
STOPPED BY TO SAY HI.
-STAY FOR DINNER?

-LATER, DAD.
[FIRE CRACKLES]
[PHONE RINGS]
-YEAH, HELLO?
-BUZZ: MITCH.
-BUZZ, WHERE ARE YOU?
-BUZZ: SAN CLEMENTE.
I'VE HAD A COUPLE BEERS.
I DON'T THINK I
SHOULD BE ON THE ROAD.
-OH, MAN. DON'T DO THIS TO ME.
-BUZZ: WHAT?
-YOUR DIRTY WORK.
LOOK, I'VE GOT MY HANDS
FULL WITH MY OWN LIFE.
KYLE'S YOUR RESPONSIBILITY.
-BUZZ: I DON'T KNOW WHAT
TO DO WITH HIM, MITCH.
-YOU CAN START BY GETTIN'
YOUR BUTT BACK HERE.
-BUZZ: I'LL BE THERE BY NOON.
CAN YOU HANDLE HIM UNTIL THEN?
-[SIGHS] SURE. SURE,
I GUESS I'LL HAVE TO.
[PAN SIZZLING]
-MORNING, HOBE.
-HOBIE: MORNING, DAD.
-HOW DO YOU WANT YOUR EGGS?
-UH, SCRAMBLED, I GUESS.
-GOOD. GRAB SOME
BUTTER, WOULD YA?
-YEAH, SURE.
-YOU NOTICE THERE'S TWO CANS
OF BEER MISSIN' FROM IN THERE?
YOU KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT THAT?
-NO. I SWEAR.
-YOU THINK KYLE KNOWS
ANYTHING ABOUT THAT?
-WELL, MAYBE. I MEAN,
I CAN'T SAY FOR SURE.
-SOMETHING YOU'RE
NOT TELLIN' ME?
-WELL, IT'S NOT ABOUT THE BEER.
IT'S JUST THAT YESTERDAY,
KYLE WANTED ME TO GO
TO THE PIER WITH HIM.
SO I CUT JUNIOR LIFEGUARDS
AND I WENT WITH HIM,
BUT I DIDN'T SURF
THERE OR ANYTHING.
I JUST WANTED TO TRY
AND TALK HIM OUT OF IT.
-THINK IT'S ABOUT TIME I
HAD A LITTLE TALK WITH KYLE.
-WAIT A MINUTE, DAD. HE'S
NOT AS BAD AS YOU THINK.
HE'S JUST GOT A LOT OF PROBLEMS.
-I KNOW, HOBIE. I KNOW.
-KYLE?

-LADY ON SPEAKER:
MR. ROSENBERGER
TO MEDICAL RECORDS.
-[SIGHS] HOW LONG WAS HE UNDER?
-ABOUT TWO TO THREE MINUTES.
HIS BLOOD GAS LEVEL
WENT DOWN TO 25.
-THAT'S RIGHT ON THE
EDGE OF BRAIN DAMAGE.
-I KNOW.
WE'RE NOT GONNA KNOW ANYTHING
UNTIL HE COMES OUT OF IT.
-SO WHERE'S BUZZY?
-SOMEWHERE BETWEEN
HERE AND SAN CLEMENTE.
-YOU MEAN, HE DOESN'T KNOW?
-NO.
[OMINOUS MUSIC]
-ANY CHANGE IN HIS CONDITION?
-NO. HEY!
-HE CAME BY HEADQUARTERS. I
FILLED HIM IN ON THE WAY OVER.
-GOD, ARE YOU OKAY?
-I THOUGHT YOU WERE
KEEPIN' AN EYE ON HIM.
WHAT WAS HE DOIN' OUT THERE?
-WHAT?
-WHAT WAS HE DOING OUT THERE?
-OH, DON'T LAY THIS ON ME, MAN.
IT'S YOUR SON WE'RE
TALKIN' ABOUT.
BUZZ, I WAS THE ONE
WHO BROUGHT HIM IN.
WHERE THE HELL WERE YOU?
-OH, YOU'RE A REAL
HERO, HUH, MITCH?
-JUST, SHUT UP, HUH.
-WHAT IF HE DIES?
-WHAT IF HE LIVES?
CAN YOU HANDLE THAT?
CAN YOU GROW UP?

[MONITOR BEEPING]
-HEY, KYLE.
-HEY, BUZZ.
-[SIGHS] BOY,
YOU'RE A TOUGH KID.
YOU'RE PROBABLY
GONNA DRIVE ME NUTS.
I JUST FIGURED YOU'RE MY KARMA
FOR WHAT I DID TO MY FOLKS.
HEY, LOOK. I DON'T KNOW WHAT
KIND OF LIFE WE'RE GONNA LIVE,
BUT I PROMISE YOU, FROM NOW
ON, IT'S YOU AND ME TOGETHER.
-YOU KNOW, I'M THIRSTY.
YOU WANNA GET A NURSE
TO GET ME A COKE?
-HOW ABOUT SOME MILK, HUH?
-WHATEVER YOU SAY, DAD.
[CHUCKLES]
[KNOCKS]
-GOT A MINUTE?
-YEAH. YEAH, SURE. COME ON IN.
-UM, HOW'S YOUR NEPHEW?
-HE'S DOIN' FINE, THANKS.
-THAT'S GOOD.
YOU KNOW, I FELT TERRIBLE
WHEN I HEARD WHAT HAPPENED,
LIKE I WAS RESPONSIBLE.
-BELIEVE ME, IT
WAS NOT YOUR FAULT.
-I KNOW, I JUST, WELL, I
SHOULD'VE RUN THE STORY.
-KAY, IT WAS YOUR DAD. I
MEAN, THAT'S A TOUGH CALL.
-I SPOKE WITH MY
FATHER THIS MORNING
AND THEY REACHED A SETTLEMENT.
DEMOLITION STARTS TOMORROW.
-TERRIFIC! THANK HIM FOR ME.
-YEAH, I WILL.
SO DOES THIS MEAN
WE'RE STILL FRIENDS?
-I HOPE SO.
DON'T I OWE YOU A HOT
DOG, OR SOMETHIN'?
-I THINK SO.
[LAUGHS]
-YOU KNOW, IF IT WASN'T FOR
YOU, KYLE WOULD'VE BEEN DEAD.
-SOMETIMES WE GET LUCKY.
-IT WASN'T LUCK,
DAD. IT WAS YOU.
-THANKS, PAL.
-I LOVE YOU, DAD.
AND I PROMISE THAT
EVERY TIME YOU TELL ME
TO MAKE MY BED,
OR DRINK MY MILK, I
WON'T EVER COMPLAIN.
-HOW ABOUT DOIN' YOUR HOMEWORK?
-DON'T PUSH IT.
-YOU! [LAUGHS]
-UH, OH. WHOA.
-SO, UH, WHAT'S UP
WITH YOU AND KAY?
YOU GONNA ASK HER OUT, OR WHAT?
-HM. THINK I SHOULD?
-WELL, SHE'S PRETTY HOT.
-REALLY? MAYBE YOU

-KAY: MITCH, THIS
IS SO NICE OF YOU,
BUT I REALLY FEEL GUILTY ABOUT
TAKING THE AFTERNOON OFF.
-GUILT FEELINGS? I LIKE THAT.
-HEY!
I'VE BEEN BUSTING MY BUTT
TRYING TO GET THIS PAPER GOING.
YOU KNOW, I JUST WANT
THE VENICE VOICE
TO STAND FOR SOMETHING.
I WANT IT TO HAVE AN IMPACT.
AND I WANT TO ADDRESS THE ISSUES
THAT AFFECT OUR COMMUNITY.
A LAPTOP COMPUTER?
-BORROWED IT FROM THE OFFICE.
-WHAT FOR?
-MITCH: YOUR LEAD STORY.
-MY LEAD STORY?
-THERE IT IS. THE
SAN DIMAS PIER.
-WHAT ABOUT IT?
IT'S CONDEMNED. I THOUGHT
THEY WERE GONNA TEAR IT DOWN.
-THAT'S JUST IT, THEY'RE
NOT TEARING IT DOWN
UNTIL THEY FIGURE OUT
WHO'S GONNA PAY FOR IT.
THE OWNER'S HAVE FILED A
LAWSUIT, BUT BETWEEN THE COUNTY,
THE STATE, THE OWNERS,
AND THE ATTORNEYS,
THE WHOLE THING COULD BE
TIED UP IN COURT FOR YEARS.
MEANTIME, IT'S A MAGNET
FOR EVERY MACHO SURFER
TRYING TO SHOOT THE PIER.
SEE THAT BLACK STUFF
AROUND THE PILINGS?
-KAY: YEAH.
-IT'S CALLED REBAR.
CUTS YOU UP REAL GOOD.
-WHY DON'T YOU JUST CLOSE
DOWN THE BEACH IN THIS AREA?
-IT'S A GOOD IDEA, BUT
WE DON'T HAVE THE MANPOWER
TO PATROL THE AREA
24 HOURS A DAY.
-I DON'T KNOW, MITCH.
TO BE PERFECTLY HONEST WITH YOU,
I DON'T THINK
THERE'S A STORY HERE.
I MEAN, NOBODY CARES
ABOUT A COLLAPSING PIER.
[WAVES CRASH]
-HEY!
-KAY: WHAT'S WRONG?
[DRAMATIC MUSIC]
[WAVES CRASHING]
IS HE ALL RIGHT?
-YEAH. HE'S CUT. I DON'T
THINK IT'S TOO BAD, THOUGH.
EASY, EASY, EASY. THERE YOU GO.
DO ME A FAVOR.
-ALL RIGHT.
-PUT SOME PRESSURE RIGHT HERE.
-UH HUH.
-MITCH: IT'S EASY.
THAT'S IT. I'LL BE RIGHT BACK.
NEXT TIME READ THE
SIGNS, HUH, BUDDY?
-IT'S GOING TO BE OKAY.
IT'S GOING TO BE ALL RIGHT.
-ALL I KNOW IS THAT SOONER
OR LATER, SOMEBODY'S GONNA GET
SERIOUSLY MANGLED
ON THE PILINGS.
-MITCH, I UNDERSTAND
YOUR CONCERNS.
I FEEL EXACTLY THE SAME WAY.
I PUT IN A CALL TO THE
COUNTY COMMISSIONER.
-WHAT DID HE SAY?
-HE'S, UH, NOT IN.
-BIG SURPRISE.
-LOOK, MITCH,
I KNOW THERE'S BEEN SOME
FOOT-DRAGGING ON THIS,
BUT WE STILL HAVE TO WORK
THROUGH THE PROPER CHANNELS
ON THESE MATTERS.
-NOT ANYMORE.
KAY MORGAN'S GONNA
RUN A FRONT PAGE STORY
IN THE VENICE VOICE.
-YOU THINK IT'S WISE TO
GET THE MEDIA INVOLVED NOW?
-NOBODY'S LISTENING
TO US, CAPTAIN.
MAYBE SHE'LL GET
THEIR ATTENTION.
-WHAT IS IT WITH THESE
SURFERS TODAY, MITCH?
I MEAN, WE NEVER HAD
TO PROVE ANYTHING.
RUNNING A GAUNTLET OF SOME
BATTERED PILINGS? [CHUCKLES]
I MEAN, IT WAS ENOUGH
JUST BEING OUT THERE,
GETTING ON TOP OF A WAVE,
FEELING THE POWER OF THE
WORLD UNDER YOUR BOARD.
-HANGING TEN.
-HANGING TEN.
-WALKING THE NOSE.
-WALKING THE NOSE.
-[CHUCKLES] WOULD
YOU TWO FOLLOW ME?
I'VE GOT SOMETHING TO SHOW YA.
AH, THIS WAS MY FIRST
SURFBOARD, GENTLEMEN.
A MICKEY DORA ORIGINAL,
COMPLETE WITH A HATCHET SKEG.
THIS OLD PLANK AND I
GO BACK A LONG WAY.
-LONGER THAN EITHER ONE OF
US CARE TO REMEMBER, EH, BEN.
-[LAUGHS] YEAH.
-YOU KNOW, I'LL NEVER
FORGET MY FIRST STICK.
IT WAS A HAND-ME-DOWN
FROM MY BROTHER, BUZZ.
BOY, COULD THAT BABY RIP.
YOU KNOW, I OFFERED IT TO HOBIE,
BUT HE SAID HE WOULDN'T BE
CAUGHT DEAD WITH AN ANTIQUE.
SO I HAD TO GO OUT AND BUY
HIM ONE OF THOSE NEW JOBS,
YOU KNOW, THE TRI-FINS
WITH THE GORILLA GRIPS.
THAT DAMN THING COST
ME A WEEK'S SALARY.
[LAUGHING]
-TELL ME ABOUT IT, HUH?
-AT LEAST THE WAVES
ARE STILL FREE, MITCH.
-YEAH. WELL, SO FAR.
[INSPIRATIONAL MUSIC]
-SEE, FEEL THE MATERIAL.
THE FINEST QUALITY IMPORTED
DIRECTLY FROM BRAZIL.
THE BARGAIN OF A LIFETIME.
$25, TWO FOR $40.
-EDUARDO! WHAT'S THE
SPECIAL OF THE DAY?
-BIKINIS.
-EDDIE: AH.
-MADE FROM A NEW
ORGANIC MATERIAL.
ONE SIZE FITS ALL.
PLEASE.
YOU WILL LOOK EVEN MORE
BEAUTIFUL, IF THAT'S POSSIBLE.
-I HAVE ENOUGH BIKINIS,
EDUARDO, THANK YOU.
-SO, YOU GOT A PERMIT?
-A PERMIT? OF COURSE.
I'M A BUSINESSMAN. NATURALLY,
I WOULD HAVE A PERMIT.
ONE SECOND, PLEASE.
IT SEEMS I LEFT THIS
PERMIT IN MY CAR.
-WELL, WHERE IS YOUR CAR?
-UNFORTUNATELY, MY WIFE
DROVE IT TO THE DOCTOR'S.
SHE'S VERY ILL.
I HAVE TO SELL THESE
BIKINIS TO BUY HER MEDICINE.
-ALL RIGHT. THAT'S
ENOUGH, EDUARDO.
WE'RE GONNA LET IT
SLIDE THIS LAST TIME,
BUT THAT'S IT.
COMPRENDE?
-EDUARDO: ABSOLUTELY.
I AM A LAW ABIDING CITIZEN.
I LOVE THIS COUNTRY.
I WILL DO WHATEVER YOU SAY.
LOOK, SEE, FEEL THE MATERIAL.
THE FINEST QUALITY, IMPORTED
DIRECTLY FROM BRAZIL.
-HEY.
WHAT'S THE STORY HERE?
I THOUGHT YOU WERE
SUPPOSE TO CLEAN YOUR ROOM
BEFORE WE LEFT.
-I DID.
-YOU DID?
WHERE?
ALL RIGHT, JUST DO ME A FAVOR.
MAKE YOUR BED AND I'LL HELP
YOU WILL ALL THIS JUNK.
-WHY DO I HAVE TO MAKE MY BED
WHEN I'M NOT EVEN
GONNA TO SLEEP IN IT?
-YOU HAVE TO MAKE YOUR
BED BECAUSE I ASKED YOU TO.
NOW COME ON, GET IT TOGETHER.
I DON'T WANT TO
MISS THE CEREMONY.
-THERE'S GONNA BE A CEREMONY?
-THAT'S RIGHT.
FIRST, WE MAKE A
SACRIFICE TO THE GODS,
ASKING THEM TO BRING GOOD WAVES.
-A HUMAN SACRIFICE?
-WORSE. A CHERISHED SURFBOARD.
ANCIENT RITUAL, HANDED DOWN
FROM ONE GENERATION TO NEXT,
HA HA.
SOMEDAY, YOU'LL PASS
IT ON TO YOUR SON.
-UM, I DON'T THINK SO, DAD.
I KINDA PLAN ON BEING
NORMAL, IF YOU DON'T MIND.
-WHY, I OUGHTA [SCREAMS]
[LAUGHING LOUDLY]
TAKE IT BACK!
YOU KNOW WHAT?
IF I SAID THAT TO MY FATHER,
YOU KNOW WHAT HE'D DO TO ME?
HE'D DO THIS.
[EXCLAIMING LOUDLY]
TAKE IT BACK!
-I TAKE IT BACK.
I TAKE IT BACK.
[PHONE RINGS]
-OH. I GOT IT, I GOT IT.
-HELLO? UH, YOU MUST HAVE
THE WRONG PHONE NUMBER.
THERE'S NO ONE NAMED ROVER HERE.
-WAIT, WAIT, WAIT,
WAIT! THAT'S MY BROTHER.
-UNCLE BUZZY?
-BUZZ! YEAH. HOW
THE HELL ARE YA?
WHERE THE HELL ARE YA?
WHAT ARE YOU DOIN'
IN SANTA BARBARA?
[CHUCKLES] YEAH, WE'RE
HAVING THE CEREMONY.
I'M WALKIN' OUT THE
DOOR IN TEN MINUTES.
YEAH, TRACAS.
-HOBIE: IS HE COMIN'?
-HE'S COMING.
-YES!
-SEE YA THERE! YEAH!
-UH OH, NO!

-OH, MY GOD. HELLO, CAPTAIN.
-MITCHELL, MITCHELL!
-EH. KELLY, STAY IN

-HEY, MITCH.
-MITCH: HEY.
-WHAT'S THIS ABOUT
YOUR BROTHER SHOWIN' UP?
I THOUGHT HE WAS
LIVIN' IN NEW ZEALAND.
-NEW GUINEA, NEW GUINEA.
-OH. I KNEW IT
WAS NEW-SOMETHING.
[MEN EXCLAIMING LOUDLY]
-HEY, DAD. WHY DOES
UNCLE BUZZ STAY AWAY?
I MEAN, HOW COME
WE NEVER SEE HIM?
-REALLY DON'T KNOW, HOBE.
HE LEFT HOME WHEN I
WAS ABOUT YOUR AGE.
SAID HE WAS GONNA
FIND THE PERFECT WAVE.
I THINK HE'S PROBABLY
STILL LOOKING FOR IT.
[ENGINE SHUTS OFF]
-HEY! I'M BACK!
YOU! I WANT YOU! I AM BACK!
[CROWD CHEERS]
-UH, OH.
[LAUGHING]

HOBIE! COME HERE,

[LAUGHS]
HOW YOU DOIN', HOBIE, HUH?
-HOW YOU DOIN', UNCLE BUZZY?
-ALL RIGHT, BUDDY.
HE LOOKS JUST LIKE YOU, ROVER.
-HE'S A GOOD LOOKING KID.
[LAUGHS]
-WHY DO YOU CALL HIM ROVER?
-WHY DO I CALL HIM ROVER?
WELL, WHEN HE WAS A KID,
HE USED TO TAG ALONG WITH THE
BIG KIDS, LIKE A LITTLE PUPPY.
-YEAH, IT WOULD DRIVE YOU NUTS.
-WHAT ARE YOU DOIN'?
WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE?
-WHAT? YOU EXPECT ME TO WAIT
IN THAT VAN ALL DAY, OR WHAT?
-I WANTED IT TO BE A SURPRISE.
HOBIE, THAT'S YOUR COUSIN KYLE.
-PLEASED TO MEET YOU, MAN.
-HE'S MY SON. [CHUCKLES]
-HEY!
[LAUGHS]
-HEY.
[LAUGHS]
-HOW COME YOU NEVER
TOLD ME ABOUT HIM?
-[SIGHS] I SUPPOSE BECAUSE
HIS MOTHER NEVER SAID ANYTHING.
REMEMBER I WAS LIVIN' UP
IN BIG SUR IN THAT COMMUNE?
AND, WELL, THERE WAS
THIS LADY UP THERE.
FELECIA. GOD, SHE WAS BEAUTIFUL.
SHE LOOKED LIKE JULIE CHRISTIE.
ANYWAY, WE DUG EACH
OTHER AND, YOU KNOW ME.
I'M NOT ONE FOR STAYING
IN A PLACE TOO LONG,
ESPECIALLY FOR A CHICK.
SHE NEVER SAID ANYTHING ABOUT
BEING PREGNANT BEFORE I SPLIT,
AND I NEVER HEARD
FROM HER AGAIN.
-HOW'D YOU FIND OUT ABOUT HIM?
-SHE DIED THREE MONTHS AGO.
THEY TRACKED ME DOWN AT
BELL'S BEACH IN AUSTRALIA.
SO I CAME BACK, PICKED
HIM UP. HE'S MINE.
-UH, NO OFFENSE OR
ANYTHING, BUT UH, YOU SURE?
-THAT HE'S MY SON?
-YEAH.
-YOU GOTTA SEE HIM SURF.
[CHUCKLES]
-UNREAL. UNREAL!
THE BUZZ MAN IS A POPPA. HAH!
HOW YOU FEEL ABOUT THAT?
I MEAN, WHAT ARE YOU GONNA DO?
-BEATS THE HELL OUTTA ME.
-NO, I'M SERIOUS.
-I KNOW YOU'RE SERIOUS.
YOU'RE ALWAYS SERIOUS.
YOU WERE BORN SERIOUS.
I'M THE ONLY SCREW-UP
IN THIS FAMILY.
HEY, LOOK, MITCH.
I DIDN'T COME TO TALK
ABOUT MY PROBLEMS.
I CAME TO SEE MY
BRO, GET SOME WAVES.
LET THESE TWO KIDS GET
TO KNOW ONE ANOTHER.
-OH. HEY, I'M GONNA
POP A CHILL. WANT ONE?
-WHAT'S A CHILL?
-A BEER. HOW OLD
ARE YOU, ANYWAY?
-TEN AND A HALF, ALMOST ELEVEN.
[BEER TOP FIZZES]
-HUH. KNOCK YOURSELF OUT.
-UH, NOT THANKS.
-GO ON, TAKE A HIT.
IT'S NOT LIKE YOU'RE GONNA
BE DRIVIN' OR ANYTHING.
[BEER FIZZES]
-OH!
-HEY, HOBIE!
COME ON, GUYS. CUSTOM DICTATES.

-THAT'S WHY I MOVED

-I KNOW.
I GOTTA TELL YA, KAY.
YOUR MOTHER AND I ARE
VERY PROUD OF YOU.
STARTING YOUR OWN NEWSPAPER
ON A SHOESTRING BUDGET.
THAT'S NO SMALL ACCOMPLISHMENT.
I'M IMPRESSED. VERY IMPRESSED.
-IS THAT WHAT YOU
CAME ALL THE WAY
FROM PASADENA TO TELL ME?
-NOT ENTIRELY.
MY FIRM REPRESENTS THE
OWNERS OF THE SAN DIMAS PIER.
-THE BAD GUYS, AS IT WERE.
-IT'S NOT THAT
CUT AND DRIED, KAY.
-NOT NOW IT ISN'T, NO.
NOT WITH THE TWO OF
US GOING HEAD-TO-HEAD.
I'D SAY IT'S GOTTEN
RATHER STICKY.
-HEY, WAIT A MINUTE. I'M NOT
ASKING YOU TO KILL THE STORY.
-GOOD BECAUSE I WON'T.
-I JUST WANT YOU TO
LISTEN TO MY SIDE OF IT
BEFORE YOU PUBLISH.
THAT'S FAIR, ISN'T IT?
-IT SOUNDS FAIR, WHICH
MAKES ME HIGHLY SUSPICIOUS.
-[CHUCKLES] COME ON, I'LL
BUY YOU A CUP OF COFFEE.
-SAY, ANYMORE OF
THOSE THAI NOODLES?
-KILL IT.
-THIS REMINDS ME OF THIS
LITTLE PLACE IN PHUKET, RIGHT.
WE'D BE OUT IN THE
WATER ALL DAY, YOU KNOW?
AND WE'D COME IN AND GREASE ON
A BIG BOWL OF THESE NOODLES.
7HEY, DIDN'T I SEND YOU A
POSTCARD FROM THAILAND?
-OH, YEAH.
UM, I THINK I TOOK IT TO
SHOW AND TELL FOR SCHOOL.
-THAILAND IS AN UNREAL PLACE.
THE SURF IS LAME, BUT THE
CHICKS ARE AWESOME, DUDE.
[LAUGHS]
-CAN I HAVE SOME MORE COKE?
-HEY, CAN I HAVE SOME?
-NO. FINISH YOUR MILK.
-KYLE GETS COKE.
-COME ON, A LITTLE

-BUZZ.
-WHAT, DAD?
I MEAN, LISTEN TO YOURSELF.
THAT'S WHO YOU SOUND LIKE.
DON'T DO THIS, DON'T DO THAT.
YOU GOT A RULE FOR
EVERYTHING. LIGHTEN UP, BRAH.
-WHY DON'T YOU SHUT UP?
ANYBODY WANT ANYMORE CHICKEN?
-NO, NO. I'M DONE.
-HEY, BUZZ. GOT ANY BREAD?
WE'RE GONNA GO
CRUISE THE STRAND.
-WAIT A MINUTE.
WHAT DO YOU MEAN WE'RE
GONNA GO CRUISE THE STRAND?
-WE'LL BE HOME BEFORE CURFEW.
-DON'T EVEN THINK IT.
-WHAT IS THIS, SOME KIND
OF JAIL OR SOMETHING?
-HEY, KYLE, SLOW DOWN.
I HAPPEN TO AGREE ON THIS ONE.
I READ WHERE THERE'S SOME
GANG SHOOTINGS DOWN THERE.
-HEY, BUZZ, MAYBE YOU'LL GET
LUCKY. MAYBE I'LL GET SHOT.
-KYLE. HEY, KYLE,
WAIT A MINUTE, MAN!
-CAN I BE EXCUSED?
-GO ON.
-WELL, AS YOU CAN SEE, WE
HAVEN'T EXACTLY BONDED YET.
-THINGS ARE MOVING A LITTLE
FAST FOR HIM, THAT'S ALL.
-[SCOFFS] YEAH,
FOR THE BOTH OF US.
TALK ABOUT GOING
THROUGH SOME CHANGES.
ONE DAY I'M SITTING ON
THE BEACH IN AUSTRALIA,
THE NEXT DAY I'M
SOME ANGRY KID'S DAD.
NO, IT WAS NOT SUPPOSED
TO HAPPEN LIKE THIS.
-SO YOU MAKE A FEW
ADJUSTMENTS. THAT'S LIFE, BUZZ.
THE GREAT MYSTERY
TO BEING A FATHER, ANYWAY.
A LOT OF COMMON SENSE, INSTINCT.
YOU KNOW, REMEMBERING HOW
MOM AND DAD HANDLED THINGS.
-YEAH, THEN DO EVERYTHING
EXACTLY THE OPPOSITE.
-OH, YOU KNOW, WHY DON'T
YOU LEAVE THEM ALONE?
THEY DIDN'T MAKE YOU LEAVE HOME.
-HEY, I LEFT HOME BECAUSE
I DIDN'T BELIEVE IN THE WAR.
THAT'S WHY. AND HE'S
NEVER FORGIVEN ME FOR IT.
-WHAT GROUPS YOU INTO?
-WELL, I DON'T HAVE
ANY REAL FAVORITES.
-NEW KIDS ON THE BLOCK?
MAN, WHAT A BARNEY.
-WHAT'S A BARNEY?
-A GEEK.
-HOBIE: OH.
-YOU EVER LISTEN TO THE DEAD?
-HOBIE: THE WHO?
-THE GRATEFUL DEAD.
THEY WERE MY MOM'S
FAVORITE GROUP.
I MEAN, SHE TOOK ME TO
A LOT OF THEIR CONCERTS.
IT'S LIKE ALL THESE OLD
HIPPIES. MAN, WHAT A TRIP.
-HOW DID YOUR MOM DIE?
I MEAN, IF YOU DON'T WANT TO
TALK ABOUT IT, THAT'S OKAY.
-NO, NO, THAT'S ALL RIGHT.
I MEAN, I DREAM
ABOUT IT EVERY NIGHT.
SHE, UH, SHE WAS RIDING HER BIKE
AND THIS CAR
CRASHED A STOP SIGN.
NEVER EVEN SLOWED DOWN.
JUST, IT WAS JUST LIKE, POW.
SHE, UH, SHE WENT
STRAIGHT UP IN THE AIR.
CAME DOWN RIGHT
ON THE WINDSHIELD.
-YOU SAW IT?
-I WAS RIGHT BEHIND HER.
I SAW THE CAR.
I YELLED.

-EDUARDO'S SUITS
ARE DISINTEGRATING.
-WHAT?
-YEAH.
-SHAUNI: OH, GOD.
[CROWD CHEERING AND CLAPPING]
HEY, YOU TELL EDUARDO
I WANNA TALK TO HIM!
-YEAH, WELL, TAKE A NUMBER.
-MY WIFE SAID YOU WERE
SELLING THOSE BIKINIS.
-OH, I'M SORRY, BUT
THEY'RE ALL GONE. SOLD OUT.
PERHAPS NEXT WEEK.
-YEAH, WELL, SHE WANTS HER
MONEY BACK, AND SO DO I.
AS A MATTER OF FACT,
WE ALL DO.
-WELL, UH, THERE'S A
SLIGHT PROBLEM WITH THAT.
YOU SEE, ALL SALES ARE FINAL.
OH, IT'S A VERY STRICT POLICY.
BUT SEEING AS HOW WE'RE
SO CLOSE TOGETHER,
MAYBE I CAN GIVE YOU
A PARTIAL REFUND.
DO YOU HAVE A RECEIPT?
[ENERGETIC MUSIC]
-HEY, MAN, THE SWELLS
ARE PUMPING. LET'S GO OUT.
-I CAN'T. I GOT
JUNIOR LIFEGUARD.
-OH, MAN, BAIL IT.
-I CAN'T.
-MAN, THAT'S WEAK. YOUR DAD
MAKES YOU DO ALL THIS STUFF?
-NO, I LIKE IT. IT'S FUN.
BESIDES, YOU LEARN A LOT.
-YEAH, LIKE HOW TO BE A BARNEY.
LOOK, MAN, ALL I CAN SAY
IS YOU'RE GOING TO MISS OUT
ON SOME GNARLY WAVES.
-WHERE YOU GOING?
-SAN DIMAS PIER.
MET SOME DUDE, SAID THEY WERE
THE HAIRIEST BREAK AROUND.
-YOU CAN'T SURF THERE
IT'S TOO DANGEROUS.
-NOT FOR ME. LATER.
-WAIT UP, KYLE! I'M COMIN'.

[HOWLS]
-HERE, ROVER. HERE, BOY.
-SOUNDS LIKE A KENNEL IN HERE.
-THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
-YEAH, YEAH.
-HEY, HOW YOU DOIN'?
-DID YOU SEE THIS?
-HEY, HOW'S KAY'S ARTICLE?
-WHAT ARTICLE?
-YOU ARE NOT THE PUBLISHER
OF MY NEWSPAPER. I AM.
-KAY, YOU SAID YOU WERE
GOING TO RUN THE STORY.
WHAT HAPPENED?
-I MADE AN EDITORIAL DECISION.
-WELL, IF YOU DON'T MIND,
I'D LIKE TO KNOW WHAT
PROMPTED THE DECISION.
OR IS THE UPCOMING
VENICE PLEASURE FAIR
YOUR IDEA OF
HARD-HITTING JOURNALISM?
-OKAY. I WAS PAID A VISIT BY
THE ATTORNEY FOR THE OWNERS.
-SO WHAT? WHAT'S THE PROBLEM?
-HE HAPPENS TO BE MY FATHER.
-YOUR FATHER?
-KAY: MHMM.
-ELLIS MORGAN IS YOUR FATHER?
-YEAH. HE SAID HE SPOKE
TO YOU ON THE PHONE.
-YEAH. HE DID, A
COUPLE OF MONTHS AGO,
AND HE WASN'T VERY HELPFUL.
-THIS IS THE FIRST
TIME IN MY ENTIRE LIFE
THAT HE'S EVER ASKED
ME FOR A FAVOR.
-IT'S NOT ABOUT FAVORS.
YOU SAW WHAT HAPPENED
TO THAT SURFER, KAY.
IT'S ABOUT SAVING LIVES.
-I KNOW WHAT IT'S ABOUT,
MITCH, AS DOES MY FATHER.
HE'S JUST TRYING TO
REACH A SETTLEMENT
THAT ALL THE PARTIES
CAN AGREE TO,
AND HE THOUGHT IF
I RAN THE STORY
IT MIGHT JEOPARDIZE
THE NEGOTIATION.
-I DON'T BUY ANY OF IT. YOUR
DAD'S JUST ANOTHER ATTORNEY.
IT'S A STALL TACTIC.
-STAY AWAY FROM THE PIER.
ANYONE SURFING IN THIS AREA
WILL BE SUBJECT TO ARREST.
THE PIER HAS BEEN CONDEMNED.
TAKE YOUR BOARDS AND LEAVE
THE AREA IMMEDIATELY.
DO NOT ATTEMPT TO SURF THESE
WAVES OR YOU WILL BE ARRESTED.
-SEE, I TOLD YA.
LET'S GET OUT OF HERE.
-WAIT A MINUTE. I
WANT TO CHECK THIS OUT.
-THE PIER HAS BEEN CONDEMNED.
ANYONE SURFING IN THIS
AREA WILL BE ARRESTED.
[KNOCKING AT DOOR]
-HEY, HOBE.
SOMEONE'S AT THE DOOR!
-HEY, EDDIE.
-EDDIE: HEY, HOBE.
CAN I COME IN?
-YEAH, SURE.
-EDDIE: GREAT.
IS YOUR DAD AROUND?
-UH, NO, BUT HE SHOULD
BE HERE PRETTY SOON.
-KYLE, HOW'S IT GOING?
[SIGHS] HEY, YOU KNOW, I MISSED
YOU AT JUNIOR GUARDS TODAY.
-OH, YEAH, SORRY ABOUT
THAT. I SHOULD'VE CALLED.
-YEAH, WELL, YOU KNOW,
I WAS JUST WORRIED
ABOUT YA, THAT'S ALL.
I JUST THOUGHT MAYBE SOMETHING
MIGHT'VE HAPPENED TO YA.
-OH, NO. WE WENT SURFING.
-OH, YEAH? WHERE'D YOU GO?
-UH, SUNSET BEACH.
-SURFING TWO PLACES AT ONE
TIME. THAT'S A GOOD TRICK.
I SAW YOU AT THE PIER.
-YOU WERE IN THE BOAT?
-SO, WHAT? ARE YOU
GONNA TELL HIS OLD MAN?
-NO. HE IS.
-BUT HE'LL KILL ME.
-[SIGHS] LOOK, HOBE.
I KNOW YOUR DAD.
I KNOW HOW HE FEELS
ABOUT YOU. HE LOVES YOU.
AND HE TRUSTS YOU.
AND THAT'S WHY YOU
GOTTA TELL HIM THE TRUTH
BECAUSE IF YOU DON'T,
YOU'RE GONNA BLOW THAT TRUST
AND THINGS WILL
NEVER BE THE SAME.
[SCOFFS]
SAME GOES FOR YOU.
-WHAT?
I'M SUPPOSE TO TRUST A GUY WHO
DOESN'T EVEN KNOW WHO I AM?
OR EVEN CARE?
-WHY DON'T YOU
GIVE HIM A CHANCE?
IT'S A TWO-WAY STREET.
WHY DON'T YOU GIVE A LITTLE
INSTEAD OF TAKING ALL THE TIME?
-HI, GUYS. HEY,
EDDIE. WHAT'S GOIN' ON?
-NOTHING. I JUST
STOPPED BY TO SAY HI.
-STAY FOR DINNER?
-YOU COOKIN'?
-YEAH, I'M COOKIN'.
-EH, I DON'T THINK SO,
MAN. I'LL SEE YA LATER.
-WELL, THANK YOU.
WHERE'S BUZZ?
-PARTYING WITH SOME BABE.
-WHEN'S HE COMING BACK?
-DON'T ASK ME.
-LATER, DAD.
[FIRE CRACKLES]
[PHONE RINGS]
-YEAH, HELLO?
-BUZZ: MITCH.
-BUZZ, WHERE ARE YOU?
-BUZZ: SAN CLEMENTE.
I'VE HAD A COUPLE BEERS.
I DON'T THINK I
SHOULD BE ON THE ROAD.
-OH, MAN. DON'T DO THIS TO ME.
-BUZZ: WHAT?
-YOUR DIRTY WORK.
LOOK, I'VE GOT MY HANDS
FULL WITH MY OWN LIFE.
KYLE'S YOUR RESPONSIBILITY.
-BUZZ: I DON'T KNOW WHAT
TO DO WITH HIM, MITCH.
-YOU CAN START BY GETTIN'
YOUR BUTT BACK HERE.
-BUZZ: I'LL BE THERE BY NOON.
CAN YOU HANDLE HIM UNTIL THEN?
-[SIGHS] SURE. SURE,
I GUESS I'LL HAVE TO.
[PAN SIZZLING]
-MORNING, HOBE.
-HOBIE: MORNING, DAD.
-HOW DO YOU WANT YOUR EGGS?
-UH, SCRAMBLED, I GUESS.
-GOOD. GRAB SOME
BUTTER, WOULD YA?
-YEAH, SURE.
-YOU NOTICE THERE'S TWO CANS
OF BEER MISSIN' FROM IN THERE?
YOU KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT THAT?
-NO. I SWEAR.
-YOU THINK KYLE KNOWS
ANYTHING ABOUT THAT?
-WELL, MAYBE. I MEAN,
I CAN'T SAY FOR SURE.
-SOMETHING YOU'RE
NOT TELLIN' ME?
-WELL, IT'S NOT ABOUT THE BEER.
IT'S JUST THAT YESTERDAY,
KYLE WANTED ME TO GO
TO THE PIER WITH HIM.
SO I CUT JUNIOR LIFEGUARDS
AND I WENT WITH HIM,
BUT I DIDN'T SURF
THERE OR ANYTHING.
I JUST WANTED TO TRY
AND TALK HIM OUT OF IT.
-THINK IT'S ABOUT TIME I
HAD A LITTLE TALK WITH KYLE.
-WAIT A MINUTE, DAD. HE'S
NOT AS BAD AS YOU THINK.
HE'S JUST GOT A LOT OF PROBLEMS.
-I KNOW, HOBIE. I KNOW.
-KYLE?

-OKAY.

HE'S STILL UNCONSCIOUS.
-LET'S GET HIM DOWN.
OKAY, ON THREE.
ONE, TWO, THREE.
-OKAY, EASY.
-ALL RIGHT, READY?

-LADY ON SPEAKER: DR.

DR. KIRCHY TO EMERGENCY, PLEASE.
-HEY, MITCH. HOW IS HE?
-HE'S IN A COMA.
IT'S TOUCH AND GO.
-LADY ON SPEAKER:
MR. ROSENBERGER
TO MEDICAL RECORDS.
-[SIGHS] HOW LONG WAS HE UNDER?
-ABOUT TWO TO THREE MINUTES.
HIS BLOOD GAS LEVEL
WENT DOWN TO 25.
-THAT'S RIGHT ON THE
EDGE OF BRAIN DAMAGE.
-I KNOW.
WE'RE NOT GONNA KNOW ANYTHING
UNTIL HE COMES OUT OF IT.
-SO WHERE'S BUZZY?
-SOMEWHERE BETWEEN
HERE AND SAN CLEMENTE.
-YOU MEAN, HE DOESN'T KNOW?
-NO.
[OMINOUS MUSIC]
-ANY CHANGE IN HIS CONDITION?
-NO. HEY!
-HE CAME BY HEADQUARTERS. I
FILLED HIM IN ON THE WAY OVER.
-GOD, ARE YOU OKAY?
-I THOUGHT YOU WERE
KEEPIN' AN EYE ON HIM.
WHAT WAS HE DOIN' OUT THERE?
-WHAT?
-WHAT WAS HE DOING OUT THERE?
-OH, DON'T LAY THIS ON ME, MAN.
IT'S YOUR SON WE'RE
TALKIN' ABOUT.
BUZZ, I WAS THE ONE
WHO BROUGHT HIM IN.
WHERE THE HELL WERE YOU?
-OH, YOU'RE A REAL
HERO, HUH, MITCH?
-JUST, SHUT UP, HUH.
-WHAT IF HE DIES?
-WHAT IF HE LIVES?
CAN YOU HANDLE THAT?
CAN YOU GROW UP?
[GRUNTING]
-MITCH, COME ON.
COME ON. MITCH.
COME ON, COME ON.
[HEAVY BREATHING]
YOU GOTTA GET IT TOGETHER.
-MISTER JIM BUCHANNON.
YOUR SON'S REGAINED
CONSCIOUSNESS.
ALL INDICATIONS ARE
HE'S GONNA BE OKAY.
[MONITOR BEEPING]
-HEY, KYLE.
-HEY, BUZZ.
-[SIGHS] BOY,
YOU'RE A TOUGH KID.
YOU'RE PROBABLY
GONNA DRIVE ME NUTS.
I JUST FIGURED YOU'RE MY KARMA
FOR WHAT I DID TO MY FOLKS.
HEY, LOOK. I DON'T KNOW WHAT
KIND OF LIFE WE'RE GONNA LIVE,
BUT I PROMISE YOU, FROM NOW
ON, IT'S YOU AND ME TOGETHER.
-YOU KNOW, I'M THIRSTY.
YOU WANNA GET A NURSE
TO GET ME A COKE?
-HOW ABOUT SOME MILK, HUH?
-WHATEVER YOU SAY, DAD.
[CHUCKLES]
[KNOCKS]
-GOT A MINUTE?
-YEAH. YEAH, SURE. COME ON IN.
-UM, HOW'S YOUR NEPHEW?
-HE'S DOIN' FINE, THANKS.
-THAT'S GOOD.
YOU KNOW, I FELT TERRIBLE
WHEN I HEARD WHAT HAPPENED,
LIKE I WAS RESPONSIBLE.
-BELIEVE ME, IT
WAS NOT YOUR FAULT.
-I KNOW, I JUST, WELL, I
SHOULD'VE RUN THE STORY.
-KAY, IT WAS YOUR DAD. I
MEAN, THAT'S A TOUGH CALL.
-I SPOKE WITH MY
FATHER THIS MORNING
AND THEY REACHED A SETTLEMENT.
DEMOLITION STARTS TOMORROW.
-TERRIFIC! THANK HIM FOR ME.
-YEAH, I WILL.
SO DOES THIS MEAN
WE'RE STILL FRIENDS?
-I HOPE SO.
DON'T I OWE YOU A HOT
DOG, OR SOMETHIN'?
-I THINK SO.
[LAUGHS]
-YOU KNOW, IF IT WASN'T FOR
YOU, KYLE WOULD'VE BEEN DEAD.
-SOMETIMES WE GET LUCKY.
-IT WASN'T LUCK,
DAD. IT WAS YOU.
-THANKS, PAL.
-I LOVE YOU, DAD.
AND I PROMISE THAT
EVERY TIME YOU TELL ME
TO MAKE MY BED,
OR DRINK MY MILK, I
WON'T EVER COMPLAIN.
-HOW ABOUT DOIN' YOUR HOMEWORK?
-DON'T PUSH IT.
-YOU! [LAUGHS]
-UH, OH. WHOA.
-SO, UH, WHAT'S UP
WITH YOU AND KAY?
YOU GONNA ASK HER OUT, OR WHAT?
-HM. THINK I SHOULD?
-WELL, SHE'S PRETTY HOT.
-REALLY? MAYBE YOU
SHOULD ASK HER OUT.
-MAYBE I WILL.
BESIDES,
SHE PROBABLY DOESN'T WANT
TO GO OUT WITH YOU, ANYWAY.
-REALLY?
-REALLY.
-GOODBYE.
