there's too much choice and not enough

Time of incident, 4 .15.

Weather conditions, mental.

Seven foot swell, filthy rips, two major ones fucking straight out to sea.

Beach status, we decided to close the beach at 2pm because of the pollution

because the surf was so dangerous.

Look, there's still a leftover in the corner.

Ah, she's a cruel mistress, isn't she? She turns it on just when you can't go

out. You don't need to rub it in.

I still don't understand why we can't surf. It's stopped raining now.

It's not the rain that's the problem. It's the sewage.

If it rains too much, the system can't handle it. All the overflow goes

into the drink. You do realise we're probably surfing it at half the time

anyway. No dice, sunshine.

None of you are going in.

But because I knew you'd be so crushed, I've organised a special dry land trip.

Check it out. Brand new sticks donated by a local board maker. Your job is to

paint them up, put a design on them. They'll be auctioned at a surf club

barbecue on the weekend.

But that's not all.

You get to keep half of whatever people pay for them.

Hello? People, we're talking fold money here.

Profit. Cash.

What if we wear ear and nose plugs?

Forget it, Heath. Okay? Your options today are design the boards.

which I went to so much trouble to organize, or give me a 10 -page

the chemical reaction of the glassing process.

Now I've got to go to a meeting.

I'll be back to check on your progress. So it's board or book, people.

They're going to be in so much trouble.

Yeah, I did a water quality test this morning. They're definitely going to be

paying for their time in the tube.

So, you want to live somewhere?

No, I'm just going to go for a jog along the beach.

You have to go and get Casey. He'll be in the car park getting into a white

Run!

Let's get him out of here.

Eat up.

You're going to need all the energy you can get to deal with the media hordes.

Heath, I'm not going to do some dodgy interview with you where you make me out

to be some kind of... Not a hero.

I'm way back in the queue.

Local paper's been on the phone twice this morning. They want to do a story

about you. They were even talking about you getting nominated for a bravery

award. Come on, egg up.

I think I'll start with fruit. There you go.

You do look a bit frog snot this morning. Heath!

I'm just saying, I know I've been on the toilet more times than it's

comfortable. Wondering if it's from the surf.

Yeah. I got a new piercing last week and it's starting to look infected.

Where's the piercing?

Hey, I think the auction boards have been stolen.

I swear I locked it last night.

This is crazy.

Excuse me.

Um, Simo, the auction boards seem to have disappeared.

Yeah, I know.

I heard through the grapevine you were all crook, so I figured you'd be banged

up in bed with some mystery virus and I sent them back.

I can't imagine how you all caught something so dodgy. None of us are sick,

Simo.

No? Now I was thinking you'd gone surfing behind my back.

My mistake.

But... But what? Well, I'd kind of already started planning what I could

the money on.

That's funny.

Yesterday I could have sworn you'd never heard of money.

Wrong again.

Timo! Bye now, kiddies.

Do you think he knows?

He so knows.

Howdy.

I told Casey I'd go down and fill out an incident report.

Probably best not to disturb me.

I need my rest.

How are you?

Why are you in a chair?

Somehow I managed to fracture my ankle yesterday.

Otherwise everything seems to be working all right.

Your neck.

Do I do that?

Yeah, that's just the half of it.

You're wide in the scope completely either.

Yeah.

I'll show you mine if you show me yours.

You first.

I'm sorry.

You alright otherwise?

Did you dream about it too?

How do you get someone to change his mind?

I grabbed him, threw him to the ground and confessed to everything.

He gave me a brief lecture on the importance of honesty and said if we

get the boards back, we'd have to organise it ourselves, which I have

Oh, brilliant.

So if you all make an orderly queue and you're each prepared to give me a small

commission of what your board makes, you can join the fun.

You all right?

I wish I'd listened to Simona.

I'm really uncomfortable.

I think I'll have to pick it up.

Do you, um... Do you know where Anna's new piercing is? No.

I do not know where Anna's new piercing is.

Shouldn't Perry be back by now? I mean, how long does it take to fill out an

incident report? Do I have a...

Isn't he meant to be on duty?

Oh no, is today Friday?

I'm late. I'm sorry, it won't happen again.

See that it doesn't.

How's Perry?

Oh, you haven't asked yourself?

She hasn't been in today.

Oh look, I'm sorry, I know I just got here but can I take my break now?

He was trying to teach himself to surf. I reckon I'd go out with him if he was a

surfer.

But he wouldn't take lessons. Thought he could figure it out and he don't.

Yeah, I know the type.

But it was way too big for a beginner.

I tried to stop him from going in. Thought he'd agree to go home and wait

to calm down.

But when I looked back, he was going in with his board.

I yelled for him to come back in. That was too dangerous.

It was like that made it a challenge.

Yeah, boys can be pretty stupid.

Especially around girls.

This was stupid, though. The minute he got in, he was pounded, leg opened up,

and he lost his board.

I knew he was in serious trouble.

He can barely swim.

He can't swim?

Not much.

I feel like I should give him a visit, but I'm so angry with him.

I can go with you.

It's bizarre.

I've only known you for 24 hours, and you get made more than any other girl

known at this school for years.

I think Morgan's probably

had enough visitors for one day.

How did you do that?

Saying thanks for saving my life.

What are you doing out here?

Just felt like being on my own.

Is that what it looked like?

A bit.

Had lifeguard duty today.

Casey told me to remind you to fill in that report.

I guess you got caught up somewhere else.

Guess so.

I, um, went to the hospital with Laurel.

Saw you and Morgan. You two seem to be getting along pretty well.

Yeah, we are.

If you ask me, he only kissed you because he saw us coming down the path.

He was just saying thank you.

What, just when we arrived?

Looked like he was trying to show off.

You know, he nearly drowned you yesterday for exactly the same reason.

all out there too. It could have been any of you, I have to say. No, none of

would have gone out if we could barely swim a lap of the pool.

But I guess none of us had girls we were trying to impress.

I'm not supposed to see it, but it's brilliant.

You think so?

Yeah. The likeness is amazing.

What likeness?

Of Edge.

It's not Edge. Of course it is. It's really flattering.

It's not meant to be him. Honestly, it's not.

You can stick some glasses and a moustache on him in the morning.

Tonight you need to sleep.

Come on now.

This can't be happening.

Don't panic. We'll fix it in the morning.

Yeah. What happened to the boards?

I had them picked up this morning.

They're being sealed as we speak.

Maybe no one else will pick the likeness. Yeah, right.

Hey, Perry, let us know when you're ready for that hero interview, yeah?

I think that look meant later.

Looked more like a never to me.

I just don't get it.

Suddenly I'm paranoid the bus is going to crash.

Or the lift is going to get stuck.

Stuff I've never even thought about before.

And the dreams.

You've got the fears.

No kidding.

You're letting them win.

Come on.

I've got the perfect distraction.

yourself an athlete your coordination skills suck come on perry faster i can't

come on i can't do this morgan to

crank the speed huh what do you reckon you can't be serious come on no way this

will be wild

I'm fine.

You're not fine.

You're an imbecile.

You nearly died yesterday and you still haven't learnt your lesson. Man, give us

a break.

Why should I?

I nearly drowned trying to save your life and you don't care.

Just as long as you get a rush.

That's a bit full on, Perry.

You have no idea.

Come on, give us a hand up.

You can stay there all night for all I care.

Perry!

Oh, you can't leave me here.

You don't have a temperature.

I'm telling you, I'm too sick to go.

Why don't we swap?

I'll say I did edges board.

Everyone will think I'm weird, but they won't think I've got a crush or

anything. I don't have a crush.

A thing, then. I don't have a thing for him, either.

Sometimes you're too sweet for your own good, Fly.

But somehow, I don't think anyone will buy the surfing dog as my design.

No? You wrote your dog's name on the collar, Fly.

Hmm. I did too.

So, does anybody want to give me $55 for this bread roll? Can I get $55? $55.

I'll take $60. Anybody want to give me $60? $60. No.

No takers. Well, passed in at $55.

Come on, gang. Let's get it together. We've got to help set up the barbecue.

We don't have Perry.

It's okay. She knows where it is. She'll find us.

I've quit the Lifesavers.

What?

I've told them to take me off any more patrols.

I can't believe you.

Why not?

You're letting a noodle like Morgan dictate your life.

I haven't quit because of him.

I quit because of me.

It wasn't some act of bravery, Matt.

I was scared to death.

I didn't know what I was doing.

The sooner everyone knows, the better.

The next person that calls me a hero is going to get death.

Hero?

Do you want to get death?

You're not getting it, Perry.

The brave thing about bravery is that you're scared to death, but you do it

anyway. It doesn't change anything.

I quit because I know I wouldn't do it again.

And if I know that, then I shouldn't be alive today.

No one would expect you to do it that way again anyway.

You didn't have a board or a ring or anything else to keep you safe.

Morgan is twice your size and you didn't know how to get him off you.

Everyone will understand if you quit, but...

I reckon there's some stuff I can show you that might change your mind.

How? Well, I'd have to demonstrate.

You know, I'm sure I'd be willing to share my secrets as soon as your inner

is ready to come back out and play.

Not quite like that, but you're on the right track.

Come on, Sumo said you don't get a profit from the auction unless you show

face. You did?

No, I did, actually.

All right, ladies and gentlemen, time to get the auction started. Thanks very

much for coming.

We're going to do this in two parts. First, we'll unveil the board. Then

give you a quick introduction to the artist.

So the first board, Deb, remember, dig deep.

All the money goes to a good cause.

Only one brain. I know I can come up with something like that. Okay, Heath,

you come.

Round of applause for Heath. I think he's done a great job.

So we're looking for an opening bid. He'll give me an opening bid to get

started. Let's say $500. Looking for a bid of $500.

Thank you, sir.

$500 to Mark. Good on you, Mark. Okay, looking for six now. Welcome out, Al.

Look at the beautiful artwork.

I guess it's about the ocean being the glue that binds my two words together.

The glue.

Brilliant and deep.

Looking for another? So, yeah, I'm going to donate my money to Surfers Against

Sewage. Woo!

That just sucked.

All right, next sport.

Holy cow, Perry, is this yours?

OK, I'd like to say a few words before we get the next artist up. This is

obviously a more serious design than some of the others and serious for a

reason, because the artist in the last few days has experienced the perils of

the sea on a bad day.

So how about a big welcome for our latest hero?

Come on, Terry.

All right, I want a big price for this one, and then I promise the barbecue

be ready. So he'll get me started. He'll give me an opening bid. $750 now?

Do I hear a bid of $750?

Congratulations, young lady.

$750, looking for $800 now.

$800. Don't want to miss a moment of glory. Come on, sure that we can squeeze

out a few more dollars for the surfing kelpie. What's his name, Flo?

Crunchy, and it's a she. I beg your pardon?

Crunchy, the surfing she -dog.

Any more bidding?

$7 .50 once, twice, three times, and sold.

Okay,

there's only two boards left, folks. This is your chance. What have we got,

I'm not sure whose this one is.

I didn't know this was a self -portrait competition.

Ed, you... Shameless man.

Woo!

Um, just letting everyone know what the winner of the comp looks like.

Okay, so what am I bid for this glorious self -portrait? Sold to the man in a

tasteful Hawaiian shirt. Congratulations.

Okay, folks, the bar's open. Get yourselves a cool drink.

It wasn't meant to turn out like that.

And you can keep the difference because you're sold for more than mine did

anyway.

Unless you're going to make me pay in some other way.

So why'd you do it then? You'd rather everyone think that you're up yourself

instead that I, I don't know, that I have a thing for you.

Which I don't. That's not why I did it.

Why'd you do it then?

I'm used to the other guys paying me out.

I guess I figured you could do without the hat.

Thanks.

It's a pretty good likeness.

Even if it's not meant to be me.

Look, there's another technique that you can try. As soon as a person lets go of

you, you dive straight down.

Down? A drowning person is so desperate to keep their head above water, there's

no way they're going to follow you down.

We could try that.

Well, it makes sense, but I'm kind of getting the hang of this combat style

stuff. I want to make sure I've really nailed it.

Nailed it or nailed me?

Don't be scared.

See, the brave part about bravery is that you do it anyway.

I've created a monster.

There's too much choice and not enough time.

It's too far.
