There's too much choice and not enough time to fall one more.

Any form of head can't count.

Some days you just know it's going to be your day. And no reason at all.

Something special jumps out and hits you right between the eyes.

It could be fate.

It could be luck.

But when it happens, you can't fight it. And why would you want to?

Mate, if you stay here any longer, you're going to get massacred. Standing

between 200 kids and their weekend.

Yeah, sorry.

So Edge reckons this world's going to be working down at Long Beach today. We're

going to ask Simmo if he'll drive us over.

It'll be good prep for the comp on Sunday.

Look, I forgot that stupid English novel. I'd better go back and get it.

just borrow my copy. I can't, because I wrote notes in mine.

You wrote notes for English?

Yeah, a couple. Just go on ahead. I'll catch up with you later.

All right.

I think, so you have to decide.

I'm not changing.

In about ten minutes.

Okay, bye.

Here, let me help you with these. Thanks.

No worries.

They just slip.

I can be such a klutz sometimes.

Ah, it can happen to anyone. I dropped my English book in the pool yesterday.

Totally ruined.

Really? Yeah, you know, some days things just fall in a heap and other... Have

we met?

I'm Tristan Knowles here. I'm Jane.

Hey.

Nice to meet you, Jane.

So, um, if there's anything you need to know about this place, just... Ask me.

I'm your man.

It's really nice to be here.

So is there anything I can help you with now?

Well, maybe you could let go of my hand before the rest of these books fall too.

Oh, yeah.

Sorry.

So, um, where do you want these?

I'm just taking them to my locker.

I'll bring them for you. Thanks.

You told him about it? I didn't say it was definite.

You have to spell it out to Heath, otherwise it goes in through one ear and

the other. He's not that bad. Oh, come on, fly.

Even you know Heath's idea of punctuality is to turn up roughly on the

Try the same week. Couldn't we just give him five minutes? No way. It's pumping

now. The edge is right. Come on, there's waves. We've got to go.

Come on, Flo. I'll wait until Heath's what's happening.

Maybe we can get lift from someone. Flo, Heath's missed out. You don't have to

as well. Now come on, the surf's pumping. We've got to get some waves.

Here you go.

You're actually a pro surfer.

Oh, not really pro.

Not yet anyway.

I'm hoping to join the circuit at the end of the year.

That is so awesome.

Yeah, you know.

It's so great to know what you're going to do with your life. I've got to move.

I suppose you can always rely on Tarzan to help you out.

Who?

You, Jane.

Boyfriend Tarzan.

He is swinging around the tree somewhere, isn't he?

He has such a wacky sense of humour, he.

Is that a plus or a minus?

A plus, definitely.

Great.

There's my lift.

I'd better go.

So, uh...

You doing anything this weekend?

Studying. Yeah, I'll probably hit the books myself.

I'll see you Monday then? For sure.

Thanks again, Heath.

You sorry?

I'm just getting ready to swing home through the trees.

Did we click or did we click?

Heath, you have just landed on the first step of the stairway to heaven.

Thank you, Edge.

You are a true genius for directing us here this afternoon.

Thank you, Edge. I'm sure you'll never let us forget it. Okay, let's get our

skates on, everyone. If I don't have you guys back in time for dinner, Julie

will have my head for a doorstop.

Great. I forgot Julie's cooking tonight. Why did he go back to school anyway?

He wanted to get his novel.

Pride and Prejudice. That's what we're all studying, isn't it? Yeah, but he

dropped his copy in the pool yesterday.

I don't know. Maybe he got another copy.

All right, folks, pool tournament, best of three. Yeah. You're on.

Have you seen Heath?

Upstairs, being domestic.

Thanks. But be careful flying. It's probably not a pretty sight.

Come on.

Get in there, you mongrel.

Oh,

hi. I've got what you wanted.

Sorry?

Pride and Prejudice. I wanted that. Isn't that what you went back to school

Yeah, it's Pride and Prejudice. Cool.

I put it in the laundry to dry out. Did you forget?

Yeah, you know, I must have just blanked it out.

You know, I don't get all this stuff about pride anyway.

It's simple.

Pride means you stubborn.

You stop listening to others and only yourself.

It stops you seeing things clearly.

Yeah. Yeah, right.

I'd better finish up here then.

I'll see you at dinner.

Is this enough, folks?

Your attention, please.

This Sunday we're having the standard best of four events with the usual time

limits, girls and boys heat. What about us, men?

Oh, dream on, bat boy.

But this time we have a very special set of judges.

Who? You.

What?

That's right.

Girls judge the boys and vice versa.

Oh, excuse me. Is there a reason for this? There's a very good reason for

When you're competing, you need to know what the judges are looking for. The

best way to learn that is to do some judging yourself.

Oh, well, as long as we don't have to take it too seriously.

You have to take it very seriously.

This comp is the real deal. Points count towards your wildcard tallies.

What? No.

Here are your judging manual.

They tell you what moves score what points, degrees of difficulty, the work.

Well, there goes the weekend.

How's it going?

This stuff is so technical.

Matt's got a meeting in the rec room. What about? If I knew that, we wouldn't

have to go to the meeting, would we?

Okay, the situation is this.

We're all competing against each other, right? I think we managed to work that

out by now, Matt.

And the competition could be very close at the end of the year, right?

So? So, I don't want to be responsible for being the difference between someone

winning and losing at the end of the year. So what do you suggest we do?

You want us to cheat?

I think we should all agree to give each other the same marks.

That is cheating. Definitely cheating.

And won't Deb and Simo spot it straight off? Not if we organise it so that our

individual marks are different, but the total points for each competitor are the

same. I know it's a bit radical.

A bit radical?

The thing is, if we decide to do it, we all have to do it. I mean, if one person

opts out, it won't work.

Well, look, I can't understand the stupid manual anyway.

Count me in, buddy. I'm going for a surf.

Look, let's think about it, guys, okay? We don't have to decide right now. But

we do have to decide.

Hey!

Can you believe it?

Fate throws her right into my path. Not once.

But twice.

The gods really must like them.

Hi, Jane.

I thought you were supposed to be studying.

I am.

Nothing wrong with getting a tan at the same time, is there?

Nothing at all.

I thought you were studying too.

Yeah, just taking a break.

Can't work the old brain too hard.

I saw you surfing out there. It looks great.

Thanks. I'd love to be able to surf. It must be such a bow.

Maybe I can teach you. Maybe I'll take you up on it.

Cool. You know, just...

Get your people to call my people and fix the time.

I still don't see how we can make it work.

It's easy. Okay, let's say you girls are judging Edge, right?

Fly and Anna give him a 7, you give him a 6, and Perry an 8. An average of 7.

What about when we surf?

Simple. I give you a 7, he's a 6, and Edge an 8. We just rotate the numbers

between us. So we all end up with an average score of 7.

But what if someone does something really brilliant, though?

We'll have to give it a top mark. That's the second part of the equation. Just

good, solid writing. Nothing cute. If it starts getting too good, just wipe out.

What do you think?

I haven't got any better ideas.

Okay.

We're in.

Can you make any money out of surfing?

Yeah, it sucks.

Huge. Really?

Could you turn that off, please?

You don't want to know who it is?

I know who it is.

Sure.

Oh.

Pride and Prejudice.

Our class is studying this.

Mine too.

I haven't got time to read it, so I ran for DVD instead.

Oh, really?

Why didn't I think of that? We could watch it together, if you like.

You and me?

It has to be tonight, though. It's due back tomorrow.

Yeah, that'd be great.

Cool. 13 Bay Street. About 7?

Excellent. Thank you.

Here. Let me.

You sure? It's a tough job, but someone's got to do it.

So what do you think about Matt's idea?

I'm not crazy about it. So what are we going to do?

Hit the wave. That'll help sort things out.

Couldn't agree more.

I've never seen you so dressed up.

Pretty much just to go bowling, isn't it? Bowling? Deb and Simo's big treat.

did read the notice. What notice?

The one inviting us all to go out together tonight.

Missed it completely.

Well, you guys have a good time.

Where are you heading?

Um, I'm really behind on this novel assignment.

Thought I'd go somewhere quiet, get my head around it.

Ciao.

He's spending Saturday night doing schoolwork?

Can you believe it?

Not really.

People can be weird sometimes, hm? People can be rats too.

Come on in.

Here you go.

Oh, Heath, that's so sweet. Thank you. They're beautiful.

Take a seat.

I'll just put these in some water. Help yourself to some nibbles.

Thanks.

I could get used to this very easily.

I've slotted the DVD in.

The remote's on the table.

Yeah, sweet.

It's a nice house you've got here, Jane. It's my dad.

He's overseas, so there's just me and my sister at home. But she's out tonight.

Oh, really?

Comfortable? Yeah. Any more comfortable and I'll be part of the furniture.

You're so wacky, Heath.

This is going to be the best movie I've ever seen.

I can feel it.

Something you're not perfect at. Why is it just me? What am I doing wrong?

It's all in your mind.

All in the mind. Come on, fly. Show us how you do it. Go, fly.

Give us a strike, fly.

Righty.

Copy.

I

don't

know what's going on in your head, fly, but whatever it is, I wouldn't mind.

I don't think he'd really want to know.

So, did you like it?

Yeah, excellent.

I still don't get all that stuff about pride, though. What do you think?

Uh, well... See, the way I said... It's simple.

Pride means you're stubborn.

Pride means you're stubborn.

And... You stop listening to others and only yourself.

You stop listening to others...

And you only see yourself.

Go on.

Um... It stops you seeing things clearly.

You don't see things clearly anymore.

Do you think so?

I am pretty certain about that.

Anything else?

Yeah, well... Pride is a major negative.

Hey.

I think you've just told me something I really needed to know.

I have.

Thank you.

You don't know how much this means to me.

I'm going to like being friends with you, Heath.

I suppose there is a heaven somewhere.

But it's hard to believe it's any better than this.

My turn!

My turn!

Hey, everything alright?

Wish you could, but no. This one's between me and... And he...

So, you're the only two that haven't told me your decision about

tomorrow?

What's everyone else's?

They're in. Do we have to tell you now?

Well, if you don't know now, you're never going to know. If everyone's doing

I'll do it. All right.

Well, that's down to you.

It still feels like cheating.

No, it's to protect all of us against unfairness.

It's the opposite of cheating. Okay, I'll do it.

How was the study?

Fine. 2 .30am.

Nearly eight hours solid.

You must know the book pretty well now.

Ah, well, you know, it wasn't all a study. I bet.

You know, like I did take a break every now and then. It's okay.

You don't have to explain.

I'm not your mother.

I know. I'm just saying. Don't.

Don't say anything more.

There's no point.

I don't know about you, but I've got a competition tomorrow.

And I'm going back to sleep.

Might be an idea if you get some too.

All right, so the girls will serve first.

The boys will do the judging.

Everybody clear on how to score?

Yeah. Good.

So there'll be no excuse.

Excellent.

Is Heath going to grace us with his presence, by the way? He slept in. He'll

here in a sec.

Heath!

Hey.

Hi there.

Thank you so much for last night.

Oh, I think it's me who should be thanking you.

I haven't talked with anyone for so long in ages. Same here.

It's so exciting. Suddenly I feel like I'm in a whole new relationship.

Jane, would you like a cappuccino? Lasse, thanks.

Who's who?

My boyfriend.

Your boyfriend?

We've been dating for ten months. He's so nice.

Aren't we... What about last month?

I'll never forget it, Heath. The way you said all that stuff about pride and

everything.

You made me realise exactly how horrible I've been to him. I did.

When you said that stuff about not listening and hearing only your own

was like a bolt of lightning.

How do you think?

Your words turn me right around, Heath.

This is so amazing.

Here's your light, babe.

Hey, Brad, this is Heath, the surfer I've been telling you about.

Oh, great.

Nice to meet you, mate.

Um, did you want a coffee?

Um, no, I'm right, thanks.

I've got to go.

Bye, Heath.

See you at school, hey?

Yeah, sure.

Okay, Perry, you're first up. You're set.

Good luck.

Guys, you can take your positions.

Oh, hey.

Glad you could join us, mate. Hope we're not interfering too much with your

sleep habits.

You okay, mate?

Fine. Did you go too long?

Nowhere. You know what to do? Just tell me what to write and I'll write it.

Okay?

I want a law of the parliament.

and if nothing else, a couple of points there I might have argued about, but

overall the judging seems fair. Well done, girls.

Nothing outstanding, but all good, solid performances.

So, boys up. We'll go in this order. Ed, Matt, Pete.

Okay, everyone, showtime.

Deb and I have gone over the score sheets.

And interestingly enough, you all got the same score.

That's right.

So let's have a look at the results.

Voila.

Zero? That's right, you all got zeros.

All except one, that is.

Oh, fly. Congratulations.

You scored half a point.

Not exactly world -beating, but better than not scoring anything at all. I

get it. What's with the zero?

Ah, you almost got away with it, guys. In fact, until the end, Simo and I

actually bought it. Until the last surf of the day, then.

Heath.

Mate, your surfing was some of the worst I've ever seen in a competition. It was

so bad, it was spectacular.

And there's only so much faking you can do, isn't that right, Troy? So you gave

him a two.

You did?

Sorry, guys. And before you all hammer her, it wasn't fly that gave the game

away. If you three hadn't given him a lower score, then Sue and I would have

gone along with everything else.

But you were too caught up in your little plan. There was nothing else you

do.

Right then. We're going to rerun this competition next weekend.

And can I suggest that next time, we do it properly?

Hi. Hi.

Looking for somebody to walk home with?

Not sure why.

Well, there's this really big, bull -headed idiot and he'd really like to

your bag. Sounds like a loser.

He is, but you reckon you could take pity on him?

I just, um...

I wanted to say that what you did at the comp yesterday was pretty gutsy.

It wasn't really.

As soon as you started surfing, I knew there was only one option.

I guess it was pretty bad.

Pretty bad.

I also wanted to say that I hope we can still be friends.

Sure.

Like, real friends. You know, like we were before.

Before you met Jane.

You know about her?

I saw you together on the beach.

Oh. Didn't know you were so good at putting on sunscreen.

Oh.

Do you like it?

I thought I did.

Now?

Now?

Now I know we're not on the same planet.

Come on.

Hey, you didn't answer my question.

About us?

On the farm, we've been let the cattle dogs make our mistake.

Right, right.

But if they hurt the calves twice,

Dad takes them out the back and treats them.

Oh?

Come on, you big idiot.

Some days you wake up just knowing that it's going to be your day.

Next time that happens to me, I'm going to roll over and go straight back to

sleep.

There's too much choice and not enough time to fall for one of mine.

Aiming for your head to get down.

You're the only one.
