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

Oh, I won't.

Aiming for your head. Get down.

To the young.

It can be lonely at the top.

Lonely because you have to be prepared to make tough choices.

If you take your eye off the prize for a minute and start making decisions based

on anything other than winning, well, you might as well kiss that prize

What are you doing?

Just a little lapse of concentration and do it. Work up a wobble. Pop a flat

tire. Hit a pothole and kiss the bitumen.

I'm not fucking with Trump.

Anything broken?

I don't know.

Hey, is he alright?

Why does it hurt?

It's my arm.

Hey, hey, Ed!

Hey, at least it was in rehearsal.

Yeah, the way it feels at the moment, I might not make the race at all.

It'll be a wicked bruise, but it'll be fine.

It's just for training anyway. It's not like we're getting any points for going

into this race.

Okay, based on today's individual performance, you guys need to make a

plan. You'll be entered into the surf club endurance trials as relay teams, so

you need to figure out who's going to run which leg. Well, it's easy for the

girls. There's four of them and there's four legs. What about us? You might not

be able to compete. No thanks to you. Are you going to go on about this

That's enough, you guys. If you can't do it civilly, then we'll decide for you.

Which we might have to do if we want to avoid World War III.

Too easy.

Let him figure it out for himself.

Edge, special delivery.

Hey, you lot, the van won't unpack itself. Come on.

You join a book club?

It's mum's.

The great Miss Cameron.

Who's Miss Cameron?

Only three times Australian women's champion.

Married to Ben Edgley, who surfed the world tour circuit ten years running.

They're about to launch a biography.

So, Perry, do you want to do the kayak or swim? How old do you reckon she is? I

think she was 19 when she had it. Hello, the race?

Um, yep, I'll do the swim.

Aww.

So, Beck, did you know all this stuff about her before, or did all the

happen after you went all soft on Edge?

Hi.

We were just reading your mum's book.

So, instead of kindergarten, you went on the world tour.

Yeah, something like that.

Do you remember any of it, or were you too little? You probably remember more

about the 96 tour, don't you?

I wasn't there.

Where were you? Um, with my grandparents.

Was that weird, having your mum and dad away, having fun while you were still...

I learned early that if you want to win, you can't let anything stand in your

way, including kids.

Having me around, they tried it for a year, but... Too distracting.

Do you mind if I have a look? Oh. Yeah, thanks.

You have to get that book back.

In between those covers lie untold secrets on how to understand your man.

Still sore, but I reckon it'll be cool if I stick to the bike leg. Less

demanding on the arm.

Yeah, right.

After you did such a good job on the bike leg today.

What? You don't like the truth?

It's not the truth that's doing my head in, Edge. It's the sound of your voice.

Hey, I'm just saying I'm not going to carry you, Matt.

Hey, Edge, if you don't get your head out your own backside, we won't have you

on the team at all. I couldn't care less if you two want to buddy up. I'm used

to riding solo.

Okay, then.

All right.

That's what I'll do.

I'll enter as an individual.

Then at least I won't be piggybacking you two over the finish line.

All ready for the race tomorrow?

Yep.

Can't answer on my own.

They're just not focused.

And I'm sick of carrying them.

But that means that you won't have a support crew.

No point having support if it's going to stop you from winning.

the money, please. I've still got one left to sell. So?

So who's supposed to sell them all?

Why, somebody put a spell on you at birth. Look, you're not going to go to

if you have one ticket left.

Well, Edge didn't sell any of his tickets. Said fundraising wasn't on his

priority list.

Oh, well, he's lost. No ticket, no chance of winning. What is a foosball,

anyway? Table soccer. Yeah, you control two teams of little dudes with sticks.

And this is something you want to win? Everyone plays in Europe. It's really

fun.

I didn't take you for a table soccer queen flight.

Why are you guys only packing for two?

Edge reckons he can do better without us. What's what?

Because Edge reckons he can do better without us. That's right.

I can.

You know, when it's just you, no one can let you down.

Yeah, but being on the team actually has been positive.

Like what? Like they're there to help you through the tough times. And they're

there to celebrate when you pull it all off. And corny as it sounds, it's kind

of about friendship too.

These aren't real friendships.

They're fishbowl friendships.

You know...

If we'd met at school or just on the street, we probably wouldn't even notice

each other. We're together because we have to be.

As soon as this thing's over, we'll have forgotten each other in ten seconds

flat.

Wow, Edge, tell us how you really feel.

the outcome you were expecting by letting the boys sort it out for

I can't remember the last time he cracked a smile.

Early 90s.

You two are getting just as bad.

He's definitely been spending way too much time with Edge. Do you reckon

any truth to what Edge said about the fishbowl friendship?

Do you reckon we'll stay in touch?

No. Then I reckon you'll go back to King Island.

I'll be off on tour.

We'll probably email each other once in a while, but we'll have less and less to

say since our lives are so different.

Years from now, I'll be in a jacuzzi in the Swiss Alps, and I'll think, whatever

happened to Matt Leyland?

Hey, Matt.

Matt. I wasn't being serious.

Dude, of course we'll stay friends. Matt.

Hey, dude.

We'll be friends.

Matt.

Think about it.

You idiot.

You too.

All right.

of surprise at all.

Long way to go, yes.

transition. Doing good. Really good. Just wasn't very good last tomorrow.

on, mate. Must have tried.

The best.

Well, you're competing against kids who do nothing but endurance events.

Yeah, if you'd been in the water, we'd have whip fights.

So who's going to be our first team, girls or boys?

Oh, yeah.

We did it.

Am I hallucinating or can I come first?

We beat Edge, man, and after the last couple of days, it's a big enough win

me. Groups can't fight against an individual.

Who cares? We beat him.

That's the last one home.

What's happened to Edge?

Not only has he come last out of all of us, he's come last out of everyone.

Better stay out of his way tonight.

Okay, the winner of the foosball raffle is green ticket number 99.

Initials D -E.

Edge won!

I thought Edge didn't buy anything. He didn't. It was the last one in my book.

bought it for him. You bought a ticket for Edge. I thought I might cheer him

Waiting for tour number 99. We must have the ticket to award the prize. I'm

going to fly with the proud owners of an excellent table sucker set.

I must have left it at home.

I'm going to have a talk to them, see what I can organise.

He went into the wrong place.

Yeah, but then he overtook me about halfway, so he'd fallen over or hurt

himself. I should have seen him. Unless he got lost.

Okay, guys, we're going to backtrack, looking for him. If there's still no

we'll have to organise a search party.

I don't mean to be smart, but maybe it's worth calling home.

Well, if Edge knew he wasn't going to win, he could have gone home in a stink.

So call home. Any word, let me know on the mobile.

Let's go.

Hey, Edge.

You're blowing it.

You really screwed up big time.

You're a survivor.

And you're going to get through this.

The flag.

My flag. One of the flags got knocked down.

What do you mean?

The fourth flag.

It got pushed over just before I went past it.

I just remembered. Did you pull it back up again?

I did.

It was down when I got there, so I stuck it back up.

And had Edge already gone through by then?

I think so.

So he could have missed the turnoff altogether.

Righto, Deb, I'm at the intersection now. No sign of him.

All we can do is hope that he was smart enough to stay put once he realised he

was lost.

Maybe I'm going to do now what I should have done before, which is to stay put

and let them find me.

Because they'll be out there looking for me.

Won't they?

No sign of him on the track.

I think you should take the rest of them home.

Yep, will do.

We can't just leave him here all night.

Look, Semo's talking to the SES to see whether they should keep on searching or

come back in the morning.

Either way, you guys are not going to be involved.

Come on, there's nothing you can do.

I made some dinner for you. Some pumpkin soup and a salad.

No, thanks, Julie. I'm really only interested in the shower at the moment.

Me too.

I think I'll wait and eat with Edge. We'll have some later. Thanks, Julie.

Have you seen a raffle ticket, Julie? It's green.

No, no, I haven't, and I've cleaned the whole of the downstairs today.

You know they lost a whole hour of light because it took you so long to

remember? Hey, you knew about the flag too. You didn't remember either. Yeah,

but at least I picked it up. It's not about the flipping flag.

It's about the fact that you kicked him off the team in the first place. You

can't hang that on us, Fly, with his idea.

Exactly. But it only takes someone with half a brain to see that Edge has pushed

you guys away because there's no room for him.

If you get rejected from something, sometimes you end up talking yourself

believing you wouldn't want it anyway.

It's all right for you, Mr Popularity and Mr Brain Box, but Edge is shyer than

that. Edge.

Shy.

Angry, rude, sullen, self -centred sure, but a soft -scented chocolate?

Edge might be confident as hell on the board, but when it comes to people, he's

in way over his head, which is why he comes on our aggro to cover it up.

Well, is this the part where you storm out of the room?

I tried it once, and it didn't feel any good.

You know him.

I'm right, aren't I?

Yeah.

You are.

Come on, what's up? That's weak.

Come on.

Yep. Here we go. Through, through.

Oh, that's it.

Come on.

There we go.

Easy as.

Easy as. Come on, come on. Come on, get on the board. Get on the board. There we

go. Hey.

You guys.

Over here.

What do you call that? Nothing.

You got nothing.

Finally.

Give us a hand, will you?

Sorry, Edge. No can do.

We've got to stick to our priorities. Keep our eyes on the prize.

How did this happen, Edge?

How did you end up alone without a team to support you?

Because Matt and Eve didn't want me on their team.

And that's because... Because we had a fight.

Because... Because they're idiots.

Try again.

Because they don't like me. You can do better than this, Edge.

Because...

I didn't help Matt when he fell off the bike.

I was only thinking of myself and Winnie.

You didn't bring anything to eat, did you?

You okay?

Couldn't sleep.

He'll be okay. I know.

Oh, that hurt.

I hope they

accept it in that condition.

Never know.

Yeah,

sorry, there's no news.

What I'm going to do is head back down to the SES station, see what the plan

You're packing up. Just about to call you, mate.

Check it out.

Ripped off.

Ed, how did you get here?

I heard a garbage truck this morning. It was emptying bins at the top of the

park. I followed the noise and found my way here.

Thank God for that.

Didn't think you'd be that worried.

What? You thought we'd just leave you out there to find your own way home?

I don't know.

I mean, I sort of did find my own way back in the end anyway.

Let's get you home. Dude, you've still got one ball left.

Just so you know, we were all worried sick about you.

That's kind of nice, I guess.

How cold do you reckon it got last night?

Not that cold, but we weren't stuck out in the bush in our lycra tricep.

Hi, Edge.

I think we can all learn a lesson from this.

We need to be more careful not to let the competition take over from looking

after each other's safety.

We can take this as a wake -up call.

I'm feeling pretty awake.

Me too.

Yeah, same here.

So, I'm sorry for not helping you when you stacked on the bike.

It was a dud call.

Don't worry about it.

Yeah.

Anyway... Smell like a sewer. I might go have a shower, see as it don't evict me

for air pollution.

I've got something in the car called a foosball table.

Hey. Which I believe you're responsible for.

Wow, this is so weird.

When I was in the bush, I... What?

Uh, nothing.

It's just... Thank you. It's cool.

It was only a dollar and I needed to get rid of all my tickets.

Yeah, I didn't really mean about the sock, right?

Anyway, thanks.

So, who's up for a game?

Yeah, thought you'd never ask.

How's about two on two?

Any of you want to be on my team?

I want your tape. He's the worst foosball player in the world. I'll play

tape. That way I won't look so bad.

Laugh it up, people, but you'll be crying. All right, let's play some

Game on. Oh, yeah. Here we go.

Oh,

legs, Matt.

Lift your legs, you know, otherwise I can't get the ball through.

Hey, Ed, do you like soft -scented chocolates or hard ones? Soft.

Me too.

Winner!

There's too much choice and not enough time It's too far, one more And

before your head gets down You're the

only one
