The competition's three days away, but
the locals are already buzzing about

Brian Linden's first annual Pro -Am Surf
Tournament.

Look at that.

Hey.

You been talking, huh?

Get some little time, get some very own
surfing, Fernie. Yeah.

Yeah? Weren't you one of the main
organizers?

Uh -huh.

You're being too enthusiastic there,
pal, if you don't mind my saying.

Hey, is it wrong for me to charge $20
for a cake of wax? No, I'm all for

exploiting the masses while you can.

Wish I could move my restaurant opening
up a week. That'd be like a cha -ching,

you know what I mean? That'd be good.

All right, what's going on here?

Come on, dude, what's up?

Nothing. It ain't nothing.

I just said, man, this is it. This is
what I do.

Yeah? Biggest surfing event ever to hit
Playa Linda, and here I am marking up

boardwalks. Look, back in the day, man,
me and the boys, we'd roll into town

with a tour.

We'd make unrelenting fun of all the
local wannabes and has -beens.

And now, guess what?

What? I'm one of those has -beens.

Reef breaker!

Ha -ha, there he is.

What's up?

What's up, brother?

The one is when I see you.

Just landed last night. Thought we'd see
the sight. And check out our old

compadre.

Give it up, Reed.

Come to Q.

Look at this.

Looks like our own Jaybird's turned into
the man.

Not the man.

Oh, our man, maybe.

But not the man.

Uh, guys, this is my friend Johnny
Durant. Johnny is a gang.

Yeah, friend of Reef Breakers.

Welcome to Plymouth.

What a touching scene.

You know what they say, the family that
ignores each other together.

Hey, guys. Hey, guys.

Makes you feel toasty all over. Oh,
yeah. Holy crap!

Nikki. Holy crap! Excuse me, with the
language.

Gigi and Ryder Montana are finally
actually doing it.

Oh, he is so hot.

Gigi who?

Just Gigi.

America's new singing sensation
extraordinaire. Won hottest female

this year's MTV Awards and then mooned
the audience when she accepted her

Classy lady. Oh, they're getting married
on Lake Como.

Hold on.

You guys are in the wedding dress
industry now.

Why don't you guys design her dress?

You know, I don't like to toss this word
around often, especially to other

people, but that is a genius idea.

Hold on, hold on, hold on. We can make
this happen.

I have an in.

People, someone very, very high on her
food chain. Can you imagine the instant

heat infusion if she got married in an A
to G?

It's not like we don't need the heat.

Hello?

Paging A to G.

Kenita, you have to do this.

Derek, do you know where your brother
is?

Brayden? No, your other brother.

Upstairs. Would you mind running up
there and getting him?

Thanks.

This is good. This is really good. A
couple A's, even.

Well, we thought you should be the first
to know. So does this mean he's back on

the team? Well, that is up to you,
coach.

I don't know, Brayden.

You don't know?

Yeah, I read Coach Andrew's file on you,
Wesley.

Your disaster weight and a half is what
you are.

Cool. Glad to have you back.

Well, good luck. Be gentle with him.

Now let's get your butt suited up and
back out there where it belongs.

Yes, sir. Ma 'am.

Coach.

Coach.

Eric.

Eric.

I didn't know Lucas had a girlfriend.

Yeah.

Neither did I.

Give me a little hinky.

Hinky? What can I do for you, son? Right
there, bro. That's exactly what I'm

talking about, man. Me.

Where's the love?

Nothing.

Well, I got some business to discuss.

Seriously, what can I do for you?
Seriously, dude? This.

Guess what that is.

I'm not popular?

No. Pipe's a little ankle slapper
compared to that monster. That, my

Chopu. Yeah.

Yep, last ring. So you're doing toeing
now? Oh, yeah. It's the wave of the

future, bro.

You kidding me?

Dude, it's the biggest wave. It's the
biggest sponsorship.

It's the biggest rush in the world,
dude. It's sick. You're not worried

alienating the Pures? Please. The Pures
are a bunch of jealous old -timers

watching the sport go by. Dude, the
toeing surfing is where all the big coin

right now, dude.

I'm telling you, man. Once they see you
carving a 30 -foot face like this,

they're pretty much spoiled for life.

What's that got to do with me? I need a
driver. Toe driver.

Why not?

I need somebody that I can trust.

He's looking for his servant for the
chips, kid. Dude, not true at all, all

right? You know how important a good
driver is, and you know it's life and

out there, man.

I need somebody out there with me who's
as serious about surfing as I am.

Hey, we're going to be late, dude.

I'll be right there.

Think about it. I need a partner, not a
punk.

I need you.

She's a 22 -year -old lip -syncing soda
seller.

Why are you guys making such a big deal
about this? Ava, she's a pop star with a

very high profile.

Yeah, who could be helping us sell our
dresses if we let her. This is why we

quit our job at Ian Straub, for an
opportunity just like this one. Funny, I

remember Ian sucking up to every C -list
celebrity that crossed his path. I'm

sorry, you guys, that's not an
opportunity I want to pursue.

Hey, the biz is not going to grow on its
own, honey.

You know what? That's another thing. I
think you're pushing it.

Well, you have to be careful about
growing the business too quickly.

Colby, are you up there?

Ted! Tessie! Up here!

Thank you, Alex, boyfriend. You look
wonderful.

Yeah, well, what can I say? The Sierra
agrees with me. Sorry I'm late, but Gigi

insisted I finish the sitting before I
left. Um, the sitting?

Didn't Colby tell you?

I'm her dog's portraitist.

Really?

Groucho and Whiskey reveal themselves to
me in a way they just won't for other

artists.

Hey, what's up with you, Lucas?

Not much.

Talked to Callie lately?

Yeah, sure, we talked.

What are you bugging about?

She's my girlfriend, dude.

So I can't talk to her? Is that all it
is?

Fine, I dig her, okay? But I don't know
what you're getting so upset about. It's

not like you guys have been getting
along lately.

Oh, so what, we're having problems and
now it's okay for you to just step right

in? Don't worry, I'm not stepping in,
man.

I wouldn't do that to you.

Or her.

What's your problem, dude? You're the
one with the problems. You're cutting

yourself. And as far as I can see,
you're not lifting a finger to make

any better.

Sounds like the opportunity of a
lifetime to me. I knew what you were

about. Toe surfing.

I mean, the waves are too big to paddle
into, so you need to be towed on by a

jet ski.

I'm doing the towing.

You're going 40, 50 miles an hour.

Really? Mm -hmm. That sounds like a
dangerous gig.

It's exhilarating, actually.

I mean, even on a jet ski, I'd be
getting a rush I haven't had in years.

So what's the problem?

Down a little bit.

Honestly, I don't know. Every bone in my
body is telling me to close up shop and

hop on son's wagon.

But... It feels too easy.

What I do know, Mr. Robertson, is that
not everything in life has to be a

That's what it's about, buddy. It's just
living the dream.

I can't even imagine it.

I've pretty much forgotten what it's
like to have one.

What the hell are you talking about?

It was my bliss, man.

Ever since I busted my knee, it's
like... Like what? You're missing your

I just... I'm not feeling the fire much
these days.

That's all.

For anything.

Yeah, well, it sounds like you got a
second chance over there with your

uh, son.

Don't believe in second chances. Shut
up. All right. If that doesn't stay

chance right there, I don't know what
does.

It was so much fun meeting you guys. I'm
going to walk it down. Oh, yeah. It was

nice meeting you. Take care. Be right
back. OK.

OK. Bye. Bye.

That was an ambush, plain and simple.
Oh, please. It was a meet and greet with

somebody who's farther removed from Gigi
than Kevin Bacon.

Then what was the point? The point was
to do something to kickstart this

business. What, like deceiving your
partner? If I told you about this

would you have taken it?

I didn't think so. This is hard for me.
Things are moving really fast.

Ava, sometimes we all need a little
push.

Even you.

Allie.

You had a sec?

I saw you at the beach with Lucas.

Braden... It's cool. I'm not mad.

I thought I would be, but I'm not.

Do you know what I'm saying?

No, not really.

Here's the deal.

When I saw you guys, I was very jealous.

But I realize now it was for all the
wrong reasons.

Nothing was going on.

Yes, there was.

You were happy, Kelly.

Happier than you've been with me in a
very long time. Brayden, that's not

Yeah, it is. It's true.

We both know it.

Relationships take work.

Brayden, you know that.

Ours has just taken a lot lately, that's
all.

It shouldn't.

What happened to all the fun?

Can we talk about this?

That's just it.

I feel like we've talked this thing into
the ground.

So what are you saying?

I just...

Don't think we have much to talk about
anymore.

Fine.

If that's what you want.

Yeah, that's what I want.

Hey,

what do you know? He's on his way to the
beach.

You're as funny as ever.

Hey, did you hear about Sun's new movie
deal?

Oh, yeah, yeah. Paramount optioned the
rights to my story, bro.

So I guess surfing is the new in -sport.
Between the prize money and the

endorsements, I broke into the seven
digits last year, man.

Me? I'm bad for a bum, huh?

Hey.

What?

That's what the hell you named me for.
Come on. Kidding me, bro?

With you on board, I'd make twice that
much. No problem.

You're serious about this, right? Never
been more serious about anything, bro.

You come along with me to the Maui
Invitational on Tuesday, you could be

Jaws by this weekend.

Come on, you come along, I'll split
everything with you, 50 -50.

Everything? Everything, man.

We could share the women, we could share
the wine.

Come on, what else do I got to do to
convince you?

Huh?

The rest is up to you.

Nikki,

come on!

It's just a movie.

Thanks. You never know who you're going
to run into in line.

Now can we please go?

What's the big rush anyway?

Well, we like the trailers.

It's official.

We are never getting out of here.

Tess, what are you... Gigi!

Gigi.

Ava, right?

Yeah. Tess showed me the in -cheek
spread.

I loved it. Your portfolio's
magnificent.

She loved it.

Wait a minute.

You're... Yeah, I am.

My friends call me G.

But my wedding dress designer can call
me anything she wants.

So wild.

Last year I...

I never would have set foot in the
ocean, and now I'm competing in a pro

Someone getting nervous?

No. No.

Maybe a little.

Nothing wrong with that.

You've come a long way, dude, in a very
short time. Well, thanks to you, yes.

Don't let it go to your head.

Don't worry.

Everything else okay?

I can't keep a secret from you, huh?

Sorry, Brayden. Is it my fault I can
read you like a book?

It's Callie.

What?

We broke up. What?

Why? I mean, I thought you guys were...
We weren't right for each other.

We both knew it, too.

How are you feeling now?

It's weird.

I'm kind of relieved.

Good. I mean... It is good. It's good.

It's just hard.

That's all.

They're bits like that, aren't they?

Relationships? If they are.

Not that I exactly have the best track
record myself.

Well, maybe you just haven't found the
right person yet either.

Maybe not.

Maybe not.

What the hell are we doing?

What's going on? What are you doing
here?

I'm just wrapping up Boy Reef about all
the good times and stories. Kipu was

just leaving, wasn't he?

I was?

Actually, can you give us a second,
Kipo? Oh, for your hot stuff, as many

seconds as you need.

Kipo.

Oh,

I'll take it to go.

All right.

I need a favor, Jay. Sure. I want you to
coach Brayden.

What? For the pro -am.

His heat's in a couple of days, and I
can't give him what he needs.

I mean, to get him over the hump. What
are you talking about?

You're an excellent coach.

Not like you.

Look, I need you to do this for me, Jay.
I wouldn't ask if I had any other

options. Why are you pushing so hard on
this? I want Brayden to have the best

chance possible, all right?

Yeah, I don't know.

I'm really kind of busy.

Look, if not for me, do it for Brayden.

Please?

It's two days, Jay.

Two days.

Yes!

Come on!

Yes! Cute!

Popular!

I swear, I thought my heart was just
going to stop.

Well, your mouth didn't show any signs
of slowing down.

Well, I talk when I get nervous. It
might help to remember that she's a high

school dropout that probably can't even
read a note of music.

Oh, right.

A high school dropout that has a gold
record. Uh -huh. A hit reality show. Uh

-huh. And is marrying the number two
tennis player. Number two. Number two in

the world. In the world.

How do you know all this stuff?

I'm a culture bolter. What can I say?

And that dropout is going to make a
great client.

Yeah. Yeah, whether I like it or not.
Oh, oh, oh.

Tell her what?

Oh, it's no big deal.

DG just wanted me to go shopping with
her today.

Tell her where.

Miami. What?

And how were you going to get there?

Her private jet. And you said no. Well,
my life is not about that now.

Ava, when was your life ever about that?

Look, if you want to succeed in this
business, you've sometimes got to grab

bull by the horns.

And you, young lady, need to loosen up.

Even if it means a shopping trip in
Miami on a private jet.

Okay.

Okay, I get it.

You guys want to come with?

I'm going to check my schedule.

should bring a huge score.

Oh, and it does. The judges are digging
on it a huge way, putting up sixes

across the board. It looks like Louie
Sunray is the official winner of the

annual Playa Linda Pro -Am.

And look at him now, riding up onto the
bed in what has become a traditional

cockroach salute.

You can have this. It's up to you,
buddy. Yeah.

Thank you.

Thank you very much.

Doesn't suck, right?

Decidedly unsucky.

I don't think that it could suck
anymore.

You guys know what I mean.

Well, it was the best Christmas present
that I ever gave myself. The gift that

keeps on giving.

It was a huge waste of money, if you ask
me.

Which, of course, she didn't.

Line up, Mary Ellen.

I told you you didn't have to come.

Um... Are you married?

Me?

Um...

Mom, I'm warning you. I will put you up
there with pilots.

This is your mother?

Oh, yeah. And you know what? She thinks
I'm running a democracy.

When really, she knows I am running a
benevolent dictatorship.

Congratulations, son.

Thank you.

So, how soon did you realize you won the
event?

Oh, well, to be honest with you, Stu,
Chuck had me biting my nails there to

bitter end, but once I heard this crowd
roaring, my stokage needle definitely

started peaking.

Right on, man. So, what's next? Where do
you go from here? Oh, I got some killer

plans, Stu. Me and my new partner in
crime. Where is he? Jay!

Come over here, buddy. What do you say?

Jay Robinson, right? The surfer formerly
known as Reef Breaker.

The one.

Yeah, me and Reefer, we're going to head
over to the mighty jaws of Maui and

tackle us the gnarliest waves we could
find.

That sounds great. So how does it feel
to be the newest member of Team Sunray?

Don't worry about a thing. I will have
armed guards patrolling every square

of that place.

I guess I'm just worried.

You know, with the whole wedding debacle
and everything the kids have been

through, I just don't want to take any
more stability away from them. Yeah, but

if Ava G becomes really successful,
don't you think that that would make

more stable?

We just look stable as you.

Just sit back, relax.

You deserve this.

We deserve this.

It's hard, isn't it?

You want to protect them, but...

You want to live your own life, too.

I know.

Exactly. And somehow the two become
mutually exclusive.

You spend so much time worrying about
them. You have no time left. Hello.

I'm not deaf, you know.

Oh, gosh.

I'm sick of the trash talk.

Trash talk?

We were just having a little chat. Oh, a
little chat about the horrors of

parenting. Babe, I'm going to call you
back.

What's wrong with you, Mother?

Is your life really that horrible?

Gigi, I swear she was not saying...
Don't defend her.

What a total buzzkill.

This trip is over.

We're turning the plane around.

What are you doing, G? Don't be such a
drama queen.

Otis? Yeah, we're going home.

Yeah, home. Now.

Hey, Lincolns.

Unlike other people.

Hey.

Listen. I am.

What happened?

Yeah. It can't go any further than that.

What? Why?

I've liked you since the first second I
met you.

I asked Jay to take over your training.

What? It's the best thing for all of us.
Jay can get you to places that I can't.

I want to go places with you.

Do I not have any say in this?

Jay already said he'd do it.

It wasn't about Jay.

It was about us.

Don't, Brayden.

This is how it has to be.

Erica! Hey, Cricket!

Don't. Brayden, I'm serious.

Don't.

Hey, hot stuff. You know I got a colo
for you.

Hey. You know you've been waiting for me
all night.

Gee, you know, if this is about what
happened on the plane, it's... Really?

You did?

Uh -huh.

Uh -huh.

Mm -hmm.

Good morning, sunshine.

What the hell?

Eric, you did mention you'd be working
out with me, right? Yes, but...

Yeah, but what?

Hey, do you guys a favour here?

So we're going to do it right or not?

What is this?

A half hour of stretching?

Hey, there's only two days before the
pro -am.

Video analysis?

The best way to break down the areas we
need to work on. And believe me, little

man, there's a lot of areas we need to
work on with you.

45 minutes before first light.

Let's get rolling.

Trust me, I'm no happier about this than
you are.

A dream.

A long, twisted dream where apparently
the wedding dress just came to her.

Well, she is a visionary pop star. Yeah,
and as mad as a hatter, but... You

know, who isn't these days? Fine, but
now she expects me to recreate her dream

dress right down to the last crazy
stitch.

Excuse me, but did you create your own
wedding dress from a dream? Susanna, she

hired me to design her dress. Now I'm
taking dictation from her. It's a

business. These are creative people. You
gotta stay fluid. Well, it's hard to be

fluid when my artistic integrity is on
the line.

Tell me exactly, how much more of this
am I supposed to take? First of all,

you're not taking anything by yourself.

We're in this together.

Yeah, and second of all... Yeah?

Why was I not invited on the shopping
trip?

hell are you thinking out there?

And the competition's tomorrow, for
God's sake. I thought the point was not

think. Be one with the wave.

Isn't that what you always say?

If you don't do it properly, you'll
become one with the ocean floor.

Maybe if I wasn't so fried from all
these wind sprints. Maybe if you had a

better work ethic and a little less...

Look.

You know what the main problem is?

You're coming in too fast. You're
digging the rail. A little less what,

Nothing. Forget about it.

See, the move like the death trap, the
turn is so sharp, so precise.

Everything is technique.

Once you master it, then you can let go.

Then you become one with the wave.

Are we ready for a break yet?

You're trying a really tricky move out
there. Unless you want to end up like me

with a busted knee, you'll keep
practicing until your feet bleed. I'm

tired, Jay.

You want a break?

Fine. Let's take a break.

After tomorrow.

Both, Jay.

What is that supposed to mean?

Get out of here, man.

Hopping on the road with son.

Gonna chase tidal waves across the
world.

It's your life, Jay.

Yeah, it is.

Jay. Look, Brad.

If you're not prepared to do whatever it
takes, then you're not gonna make it on

the circuit. It'd be a whole lot easier
to buy that coming from someone who

actually made it on the circuit.

Are you out of your mind?

Talking to me like that?

What the hell are you leaving for? What
do you think?

Running the surf shop?

Banging my head against the wall with
little ingrates like you? You think

the end of the road for me?

Are we done?

Guess I was wrong about you from the
very start.

You don't have what it takes.

Whatever, Jay.

Yeah.

Done.

Know that you can do it if you just
believe. Nothing's ventured, nothing

What's it gonna be? Just dive in. You
know it feels good when you dive in.

Just dive in. That's a good time.
Nothing feels better than letting go.

dive in. Just dive in. Time, cut, time.

Did I get it right for once? No.

That's the goal, Your Highness. Well,
that really blew, huh?

Yeah.

know how I signed off on this mummy
crap.

Well, I thought that you were just
incredible. Oh, yeah. Divine.

The second coming of Cleopatra. Oh,
yeah. It was incredible.

Very historically compelling.

Oh, well, we're trying to be real
accurate.

Apparently, this is all from existing
documentation of ancient Egyptian

sleepwear. Uh -huh. I don't know. So,
what do you have for me? I wish I had

time, but... Oh, okay. Well, um, this
one...

is the original concept.

And then on this one, I try to
incorporate some of your suggestions

last conversation.

No.

No, no, no.

Excuse me? What letter don't you
understand? The N or the O? I thought

exactly what you were looking for.

Oh, no, no, no. These lines are nothing
like what I described.

Okay, this tall miniskirt looks like
it's coming down below the knee, and

is the white leather jacket that we
talked about?

Well, I'm sorry. I just thought a veil
would be more appropriate.

I get it.

There's just way too much thinking going
on here.

So, next pass, let's try a little less
thinking and a little more sticking to

the plan.

That way, neither of us will be messing
up any of our valuable time.

What's up, dude?

So you broke up with her, huh?

Yeah.

Happy now?

Look, I thought you should know.

I'm planning on asking Kelly out.

Really?

Making a plan on your buddy's girlfriend
now, huh?

I don't know what you're talking about.
You just said you guys broke up. My ex

-girlfriend. Same thing.

Just been pitiful.

Are you seriously gonna pull this guy
code BS with me? Like that would ever...

Hey, hey, hey, hey!

Stay there! Stay there!

What's wrong with you two, huh?

He's the one with the problems, man.

You wanna tell me what's going on?
Nothing.

That's how it's gonna be.

So you wanna know something?

You look like someone who's not ready
for the pro -am.

Or anything else that doesn't matter.

I think Nikki was pretty crushed. You've
been holed up in her room all day.

Cog.

Nothing but cog.

She'll be fine. It's you I'm worried
about.

You should be.

That was a whole new level of
humiliation I never even knew existed.

Spoken by someone who's clearly never
come within spitting distance of

And never will, thank you very much. As
of today, we're out of the celebrity

business. What, so this is a
dictatorship now?

I'm sorry. I tried. I really did. And I
don't have any regrets. I mean, you guys

were right. This business will stagnate
if we don't move forward. Forward,

onward, and upward. But I just can't put
up with that level of abuse.

Well, we can't kiss a client like Gigi
goodbye.

Look. I don't care what anybody says,
I'm torching all of her feet.

I guess that's a crush.

Please, I'm not going to let some
Britney Spears wannabe ruin my day.

when's the torching ceremony?

Right after I wash my brother, kick some
butt in the pro -am.

Fabulous.

Nikki,

hold on one second.

Listen, wish Brayden good luck for us.

Where are we going?

It's about time we all started doing
things differently around here.

You and me, kid.

that have left most...

I can't believe you pulled it off
myself.

There's nothing like watching someone
hit the wall and find a way to break

through it. Especially when you had
something to do with it, right?

It wasn't me. I think he just wanted it
more than I had realized.

Come on, you're not fooling anyone, pal.

You did a great job on that.

In case I don't get another chance to
tell you. Well, let's not get too mushy,

all right?

Thanks.

He did do damn good out there, didn't
he?

Unbelievable.

Flying.

Yay.

Yo,

Brady. How you doing, Bob? I'm Doug
Fock.

I'm surfboard.

Wow. Yeah.

You guys got some pretty cool boards.

I think you might look pretty good
riding on one.

I don't want to get too ahead of
ourselves, but we're considering you for

sponsorship.

Wow.

That's unbelievable, Mr. Fox.

Actually, I'm going to have to talk to
my coach.

What

are

we doing here?

Nikki, I think... It's important that
you see this.

You will not play mixed doubles with
her. Do you understand?

You know what? I have to go. The
designer... Yes, the designer for our

is here.

You better have a damn good reason for
being here.

For what?

You'll fire me?

Go ahead.

Aunt Eva. Nikki, I have no interest in
working for someone who treats people

way she does.

You wouldn't even think about quitting.

Unless we get some ground rules straight
right now, that's exactly what I'll do.

You're giving me ground rules?

That's right.

You may be the client, but I'm the
designer.

I don't tell you how to sing. You don't
tell me how to create a dress.

Your input is welcome, but you will
never, ever... Talk to me the way you

the other day.

And if I do?

You can find someone else to do your
dress.

Simple as that.

Wow.

You'd really do that?

I would, and I will.

Well... You realize nobody's talked to
me like that since I was, like, 15.

Well, then...

Welcome back to the real world.

It's your amateur, fly -a -linda, pro
-am champion, Brayden Westerly!

Rom

did

good, Reed.

I think you just graduated from the
ranks of Grom. Does that get crazy? I'm

saying kids got potential.

That's all.

The thing of it is, Louie, and you know
this as well as I do, you're still lazy.

I mean, more than you did.

Come on, Jay. No, I don't know that. You
can't just bail on me if we already

had... And you know what else? Just come
with me to Jaws.

All right?

If that doesn't convince you... What?

I need him.

He's got a future, man.

I want to be part of it.

With you, I'm just chasing the past.

That would have been a righteous ride,
though.

Competition may be over, but the party's
just getting started.

I cannot believe that she didn't fire
you.

I mean, uh... Oh, yeah, a little
faithful. I have plenty of faith in your

sweetheart. It was the little biatch
princess I was worried about. Well,

sometimes even little princes will
surprise you. Particularly when you put

in their place. They're going, Ava Jean.
I couldn't have done it without you.

And you were right. I needed that little
push.

So then what?

Nobody gets fired this week? Not this
week.

Hey, how are you? How are you?

After all that, you're not going.

I guess the pull of Playa Linda was
greater than I realized. Yeah, right,

Linda.

Jeez.

That was something, though, huh? Seeing
Braden up there with that trophy? Hey,

watching him carve up every inch of that
wave was worth the price of admission

for me. I tell you what, if he keeps
applying himself like he did today, the

trophies, they'll just take care of
themselves.

And I take it your job description will
include reminding him of that fact?

Absolutely.

Second chance, isn't it?

Yeah.

They come in many, many forms, don't
they?

What's going on with you? You haven't
said one word to me the whole night.

What? Nothing.

Something happened between us.

You can't pretend that it didn't. But it
shouldn't have.

And it won't happen again.

But there are way too many reasons why
it can't. So don't make me look at them

all. You could give me a million
reasons, Erica.

It's not going to change the way I'm
feeling right now.

And what I'm pretty sure you're feeling,
too.

We can't do this.

I'm serious I know you are I'm serious
too

He's looking pretty good out there.

Jay, what are you doing down here?

As Mr. Westerly's new personal coach
slash trainer slash manager, I thought I

might watch him do his session, if you
don't mind.

No, I don't mind. Hey, guys.

Hey, there's our Laird Hamilton in the
making.

Hey.

Coach Haskell, what's going on? Oh, I've
got to say, on behalf of the entire

athletic department and the school, we
are very excited about this sponsorship.

We take pride in all of our athletes'
successes. We're also very proud of

Brayden's coach, Erica Spalding.

I can't take all the credit.

Jay here has been working a lot with
Brayden.

We're all part of the Wesley entourage.

You guys should know we're looking at a
couple of surfers for a competition

coming up.

My bosses are flying in this weekend.
They want to see you surf.

For the junior parts ticket, right?
Yeah, we lost the surfer.

We need somebody in Hawaii next week.

Hawaii?

Well, what about school?

Well, I'm sure in your case we can make
a few exceptions.

Well, let's do it.

Right, Jay?

We'll see you on the weekend.

All right.

The 182 -83 submission.

And we only have enough space in the lit
magazine for 20.

Oh, well, this one's called Anger with a
K.

Everyone's a writer.

I feel kind of bad weeding people out
like this.

This is personal stuff. I mean, they're
bearing their hearts and souls.

And rejection is a valuable life lesson.

Circle of life.

I'm more concerned about how we're going
to select, edit, layout, and copy -edit

the entire magazine by next week.

Yeah. When does that new high school
advisor start? Oh, you mean the

administration -appointed babysitter?

Today. But the last advisor was a total
waste of time and money.

Yeah. Maybe it'll be different this
time. Oh, I promise you it will be. I

intend on laying down the law the second
they get here. No more Miss Knight.

Hey, guys.

I'm Jeb Eckhart. Are either of you Nikki
Westerly?

Johnny, this is amazing.

Thank you.

Uh, yeah.

Well, it's done.

I don't know what to do with myself now.

You've been chained to this place for
two months. You need to go out and

celebrate. I know, I should.

But, you know, this owning a business,
it just kind of consumes your entire

life. 24 hours a day, seven days a week,
forever.

And you're terrified.

Uh, actually, um, this is the best I've
felt in a long time.

Really? This is from the guy whose
longest commitment has been to his gym.

hey, hey. You've come a long way. I'm
proud of you. Welcome to adulthood. Oh,

thank you.

Yeah.

Yeah.

So, would you like to go out and get a
drink? Connie, what time is our dinner

reservation? You know what? I couldn't
get it in until 9 o 'clock.

Then for now, I think you should drop
everything you're wearing in. Hey, whoa,

whoa, hey.

You know, Ava stopped by to say hello.
Hello, Mona.

Hi. Place looks great.

Thanks. You should have seen it this
morning.

We had to move a ton of odds and ends
out of the way and into the upstairs

storage. Yes.

You mean Johnny's apartment?

Actually... You didn't tell her?

No, I just...

Oh, no, no. Johnny moved in with me.

You're living together?

Wow. Yeah, well, you know, I figured we
were spending so much time together, you

know.

Can't live upstairs forever.

That's great.

I'm really happy for both of you.
Thanks.

Hi,

honey, I'm home. What's for dinner?

I've been thinking about that for almost
45 minutes.

All I ask is that you have food waiting
for me on the table when I get home.

Oh, hey, before I forget, Matt Carlson
called.

Is he the guy we were... Are you crazy?
Look, it's only been one date. We don't

want to jinx this, so talk about
something that's a little less

me, okay?

Johnny moved in with Mona.

Oh, guess what? Hey, the surfboard
sponsors want to see me surf this

and if they like what they see...

The National Circuit.

Oh, that's huge.

Whoa, whoa, whoa.

National?

For how long?

Oh, only be for a month. Yeah, you know,
like summer camp.

Oh, so we're talking the summer.

Well, actually, it'll probably be in a
week.

A week? How are you going to go in a
week? You have school. Well, school's

with it. I mean, the sponsors, they're
going to have chaperones and tutors.

Who are total strangers.

Are you kidding?

They're going to start fighting about
this, aren't they? You should leave and

take the boy with you.

Hey, Braden, let me show you something
really cool in another part of the house

that's still within earshot.

Jay, I'm not crazy for saying no. I
can't imagine any parent that would let

their child go off by himself for a
month, especially after everything

happened this past year. Look, you can't
load all that onto him.

He's really pulled it together, Ava.

He's focused on his training, and he is
damn good.

Then he'll be even better when he gets
out of school.

Ava, trust me, he needs this.

Okay, even if I did let him go, I can't
let him go alone.

I'll go with him.

You would do that for a month?

Absolutely. Well, it's a sponsorship.

I know exactly how he's feeling right
now. Look, most surfers would, they'd

compete their entire lives for this
chance.

I would, I'd love to be part of it.

At least let him try out. He may not get
in, but we'll never know if we don't

give him a chance.

I'll let him try out. But that's all I
can promise right now.

First team, hit the water. You guys get
suited up.

You can't keep ignoring me. I'm not
ignoring you.

We're going to have to deal with this
eventually.

There's nothing to deal with. Look, I've
been doing a lot of thinking, and we're

just friends.

It can't be anything more.

You kissed me back.

Whatever happened or whatever is
happening can't happen. Look, meet me

on the promenade. I just want to talk.

Look, meet me tonight, and I'll drop the
whole thing.

Hey, coach, are we serving today or
what?

Hit the water, Brayden.

And you can change up the number of
units per page and create some pretty

layouts by just using white space and
text.

And... I'm rambling.

Oh, no, no, no, this is great.

We never knew you could do this sort of
stuff.

I think you're fascinating.

Okay, um, you know what? It's getting
pretty late. I think I'm gonna head out.

I still have five short plays, two
novellas, and a cinquain to read.

Uh, yeah, and I've got a lot of work to
do, too. All right.

I'll catch you guys later.

See you, man.

You got a pen I can borrow?

A pen? Oh, yeah, absolutely.

Um, oh, great.

Ow!

Fudge.

Did you just say fudge?

Yeah.

Oh, ooh, Confederacy of Denses.

It's a great book.

What did you think of the main
character? He's such a cynic.

Ignatius?

I don't think he's a cynic at all.

In fact, I was thinking that he's just
the opposite. I think of him as a

fatalistic optimist who always sets
himself up for disappointment.

Kind of tragic, actually.

Wow, that's pretty astute.

Are you sure you're only 13?

Yeah.

Oh, there's the pen.

Sorry.

All right.

If you want to talk more about the book,
you should meet me at this coffee shop

on Saturday afternoon.

You should come.

Really?

That's great.

I'd love to.

Sorry. Derek, what are you doing here?

Johnny and I were going to go to the
batting cage.

How'd you get in?

The factory was open.

Hey, where's Johnny?

Oh, he had to go to the printers for a
menu emergency.

Is this Resident Evil?

Um, yeah.

It's the middle of the afternoon.

Isn't that kind of weird?

It calms me down.

Cool. It's still kind of weird, but
cool.

Wait, should you be watching this?

Uh, yeah.

My enema lets me watch it all the time.
Oh, okay.

Oh, this is so frustrating. Everything I
own makes me look like I'm 13.

You are 13.

Yeah, but... Only in age.

Hey, here's a copy of the submissions. I
thought were pretty good. It should be

considered for finalist.

I was going to run a copy over to Jed.

Oh, well, I can give it to him tomorrow.

We're meeting for coffee.

For coffee?

You don't drink coffee. I was thinking
about starting.

What, so is this like a date?

Yeah.

You're going on a date with him? He's in
high school.

He's not a typical high school guy,
though.

Kids our age wouldn't understand.

Yeah, but guys in high school, they want
different things.

But stuff's not like that. I can tell.

Does your aunt know you went out with a
guy from high school? It's the middle of

the day and it's coffee.

Nothing bad could happen.

It's a big problem.

No problem.

Have fun.

Wait, Cameron, wait.

Um, Johnny's restaurant opening is this
weekend. You're still coming, right?

Maybe. See you around.

Wait for me.

No, he's infected with a T virus. Derek,
Derek, honey, wake up. You're having

a nightmare.

The zombie dogs were chasing me through
the lab.

What? Like in the movie Resident Evil?

Resident Evil?

Derek, you know you're not supposed to
be watching movies like that. Where did

you see that?

Mona.

What's all the commotion?

Wow! You look fantastic.

Hey, how was your date?

Jinxing. What's going on?

No, Derek had a nightmare because that
Mona let him watch Resident Evil.

I don't even know what Resident Evil is,
but I can tell by the title it's not

something he should be watching.

What are you going to do?

Well, I'm going to talk to her.

Look, now that Johnny and Mona are
living together, I think that Mona needs

use better judgment where the kids are
involved.

Is there the tiniest chance it has
nothing to do with bad judgment?

Maybe living arrangements?

I mean, you haven't really talked about
that.

What's to say?

They move in together after three weeks.
She's just coming out of a divorce. I

mean, it's like the perfect storm of
doomed relationships.

I mean, don't get me wrong. I want
Johnny to be happy, but...

I think he's going to get hurt.

Well, tread lightly, my friend.

Tread lightly.

I will.

Hey, what does Matt do for a... All

your

friends have changed.

Another moment to...

I didn't think you were going to show.

Neither did I.

So, you psyched about Surf Force?

It's a really great opportunity.

I'm not getting my hopes up.

You've come a long way since I first met
you.

You know, I didn't even want to learn
how to surf.

I didn't, but... The second I saw you
standing outside Jay's surf shop...

Talk it up to Faith.

I would have done anything just to have
been near you.

Brayden, there are so many reasons why
this shouldn't happen.

I'm your surf coach, and we're friends,
really good friends.

And Jay, of course.

Yeah, and Jay.

You know, I just wish it was the two of
us.

The only two people in the world. Like,
now.

Yeah, it's a beautiful thought, but it's
just not reality.

Erica, tell me there's not something
going on between us and I'll leave.

It's getting late and you've got your
sponsorship tryout in the morning.

Pay it.

Pay it.

Pay the work and I'll leave.

I'm just trying to do the right thing.

You know, you once told me that you were
a big believer in faith.

So let's leave it up to fate.

Let's flip a coin.

You want to flip a coin? Yeah, let's
flip a coin.

Heads?

It was meant to be.

Tails?

I'll leave you alone.

For good.

Mona, you got a second?

A little busy here. I'll be quick.

We had a little incident at the house
last night.

Derek had a nightmare because you let
him watch a movie you really shouldn't

have. I'm sorry.

Derek said he had seen it before.

He told me it was okay.

And you believed him?

What was I supposed to do?

Well, you could have called Johnny or
me.

I'll admit I don't know that much about
kids, but I'm learning because I know

how important it is to Johnny. So I'd
appreciate it if you'd cut me a little

slack. Yeah, well, these are my kids
you're learning with.

Okay.

Sorry, it won't happen again.

Well, I don't know if that's good
enough.

And now that you and Johnny are living
together, I'm not sure I feel

with him being over your house
unsupervised.

Him being Derek or Johnny?

Derek. We're talking about Derek. This
has nothing to do with Johnny.

Ava, why are you talking to me about
this instead of going to Johnny? Because

thought we were both adults and we could
have a rational conversation about

this.

And it's not because you're jealous?

You know, Mona, you don't know anything
about me or my relationship with Johnny.

And I'm a little fed up with you making
these unfounded assumptions.

How do you handle situations like this
with Johnny's other girlfriends?

Honestly, they're never around long
enough for it to be an issue.

Well, I'm not going anywhere.

So the sooner you get used to that, the
sooner you and I can start being civil

to one another.

You ready for the tryout?

I've been asleep all night.

But I wasn't thinking about the tryout.
Whoa, whoa, whoa, public place.

How long are we going to stay in hiding?

Just, let's take it slow.

Well, can we go back to your place
tonight?

Slower.

Okay, can we drive down to Mexico?

Way slower.

All right.

Can I take you to a restaurant instead
of the thing, too?

Sure. You haven't told anyone, have you?

No, no. Nobody knows.

Good luck.

I need a little more luck than that.

Hey, guys.

Brayden, I figured I'd find you here.

Not so sure I expected to see you.

She was just helping me out with some
last -minute practice.

Oh, right. All the surfboards are
waiting down the beach.

Let's get moving.

Ow!

Ow! All right!

a cup of coffee, please? French roast or
Sumatra's wine?

Um, the last one.

Hey.

You look cute.

Glad you could make it.

Thank you.

Um, I'm glad I could be here.

And I'm just, um, sipping my coffee.

Yeah, you drink your coffee black?

Um, yeah.

Okay. Let's go sit down.

Yeah.

Guys?

This is Nikki.

Nikki. This is a book club.

Yeah. Hey, Nikki. Yeah.

Where's your book?

I didn't bring it.

You didn't bring your book to the book
club?

Yeah, you're right.

I should go home and get it. I live
pretty far away from here.

So how about I just try and make it to
the next one?

Guys, just...

Go ahead, start without me. I'm going to
go get Nikki's book with her.

Okay, Jeff.

Really.

I'm old enough to find my way back home.

Sure.

Are you okay?

Feeling kind of nauseous.

I'm sorry. I should have been more
specific.

Actually, I think it's the coffee, but
trust me, this is the coffee. isn't

helping.

Sit down.

When I, uh, when I invited you to talk
more about the book, I thought you

realized there was to talk more about
the book.

Yeah, I'm such an idiot.

I'm sorry that you thought this
afternoon was more.

For what it's worth, I think you're
incredibly smart and adorable and funny.

Let me guess, it's not me, it's you.

I don't know.

It's kind of you.

Right.

I'm such an idiot.

But I get it.

I'm a kid.

And you're older, and why would you want
to date a kid?

Not because you're a kid.

It's because you're a girl.

What?

I'm gay.

Oh. You were incredible.

That was the best I've ever seen you,
sir. I mean, that'd be crazy not to sign

you. Come on, guys. I'm trying not to
get my hopes up.

It was pretty good, though, huh?

Erica, we need to talk.

Coach, you should have seen him out
there.

Unbelievable.

Well, that might not matter now.

Give us a few minutes, will you, guys?

Is this about me, Coach?

Brayden, go.

Whoa, whoa, whoa. If this is about
Brayden, then I'm staying.

Eric, I'm not going to beat around the
bush here.

Is there something going on between you
and Brayden, romantically?

That's ridiculous.

Eric is like a big sister to her.

Well, one of the parents saw you kissing
on the promenade after the pro -am. It

didn't look very sisterly.

Someone's obviously got their wires
crossed.

Are you denying it's true?

It just happened, and I promise it ends
now.

Erica, I wish it was that simple.

Please, coach.

As of this moment, you're suspended.

I'm going to have to report this to the
administration and see how they want to

handle it.

Your school's athletics director called
me.

So you know everything.

Brayden, what exactly was your plan
here?

Aunt Ava, this is real.

Eric and I, we weren't just fooling
around.

I really care about her.

I can see that.

But Brayden, you two can't see each
other anymore.

So what, am I just supposed to ignore
the way I feel about her? Look,

in a relationship, there are more
reasons not to be with someone than to

them. Even when you love them?

Reden, aren't you moving a little fast?

I've loved her from the first day that
I've met her.

Jay, I'm sorry. Listen, listen.

Whatever little sense you have left in
that head of yours should tell you to

back away right now.

Sorry, I had no idea that any of this
was going on.

Yeah, I know.

Me neither.

I guess I should talk to Erica.

I'll talk to her.

Are you sure? Because I... I said I'll
talk to her.

I should have told you.

Yeah, you should have.

It happened before I could even...
Erica, how could you be so stupid?

I mean, you obviously weren't thinking
about your career, but did you think

about what something like this could do
to Brayden? I talked to Coach Haskell.

We made a deal, and he agreed to keep
things under wraps if I resigned.

For Brayden's sake, Sir Force won't find
out about it.

It was stupid, but nothing really
happened. I mean, we kissed. That's it.

don't want the details. I just want you
to end it.

I screwed up, okay?

I get it. I just need some time to sort
things out.

I'll make the decision easy for you.

You're not to see him anymore, okay?

I get that you're mad, but that doesn't
give you a right to tell me how to live

my life.

Erica, if you continue with this
relationship, you're going to hurt him.

I mean, don't you remember what your
first love was like?

Yeah, it was you.

Yeah, well, don't make the same mistake
as Brayden.

So, you're going to sit there all day,
you're going to talk to me about what

don't want to talk to me about.

How did you know?

You are worse than your aunt.

All right?

Sit.

Okay.

I need your advice.

About a boy.

Girl talk?

You want me to braid your hair?

I don't think that's necessary.

I have a crush on an older, gay boy.

Aha.

Well...

It was bound to happen sooner or later.

Sweetie, I'm flattered.

Um, no, it's not you.

He's not that much older.

I so enjoy our little talk.

He's 16.

And he's the lit magazine advisor. And
he is so cute.

But I just don't know what to do.

Well, honey, if he's gay, there's not a
lot she can do.

But is it possible that...

But he may... Nuh -uh.

He could change back?

Yeah, no.

It's not really a matter of change or
choose.

So there's no hope.

Sorry, sweetie.

Lord's cause.

But he told you he's gay.

Yeah, why?

That's a pretty big thing.

What do you mean?

Well, anytime someone opens himself up
like that, making themselves vulnerable,

it's a big risk.

When I first came out, I was terrified.
And some people were pretty unkind about

it. But I would never do that. I know
that.

And you know that.

But he didn't.

For what it's worth, I can say with some
authority that gay men make excellent

friends.

Oh, yeah. Just ask your aunt.

Okay, Matt's going to be here any minute
to pick me up.

How do I look?

Can I talk about him? Well, of course
you're allowed to talk about him. Why

wouldn't you be allowed to talk about
him?

Jinxing? Oh, never mind. You look
amazing.

Yeah?

Thanks.

You might want to think about changing.

What do you got there?

A little nervous cleaning?

No, I'm not nervous cleaning.

You're cleaning the grout with Q -tips
and bleach.

This about Brayden? No, I'm waxing the
floors later for that one.

I'm thinking about not going to the
opening tonight.

Were you afraid of facing Johnny and
Mona together?

She was supposed to be the girl du jour.

I'm losing him, Savannah.

Six months ago, Johnny comes to me and
he wants to give it another shot, and

I... I chose Simon.

Well, then you have to tell him. I
wouldn't even know what to say. I

Please forgive me? I picked the wrong
one? I mean, you could touch the waters,

you know, put a vibe out there.

See if he picks it up.

And if he doesn't?

God, I used to be fearless.

Yeah, well, you know, there was a time
not so long ago that you accused Johnny

of being too scared to step up.

Okay, what about that guy over there? Do
you think he's kind of cute?

I'm not playing this game with you.

Okay, then what about that guy over
there?

Or that guy standing over there? Do you
think he's cute?

Ew and gross.

Now, your turn. Let's see.

Oh, how about that guy right there?

Hey, there's Cameron.

Well, you guys are pretty much
inseparable these days, aren't you?

What? I guess there aren't any girls
your type in high school.

Guess you could say that.

Yeah. Um, I don't want to be the third
wheel here tonight, so I'll see you guys

Monday.

I'm glad to see you made it.

Yeah, me too.

You know what I want you to meet?

This is Matt Carlson.

This has got to be Ava.

Pleasure.

I've heard so much about you. Well, it's
nice to meet you. I've heard so much

about you too.

Ah, there you are.

Starting to worry.

Oh, I wouldn't sit for the world.

Mona, you look beautiful.

Thank you. So do you. Thank you.

Well,

first, I want to thank everyone for
coming out tonight.

And as many of you know, this place has
been a dream of mine for quite some

time. And to see it as the reality, I
couldn't have done it without one

And she taught me a lot about myself and
how to really just go for what you want

in life. And she, well,

she's pretty amazing.

Come on up here, Mona.

Get up there.

Oh, you want to add anything?

Um, we also cater.

Hey, uh, D, where you at?

D5, buddy.

I have a pen.

I can't take

this.

I'm so sorry about all this. Look, I
don't think it's a good idea that you're

here right now. No more sneaking around.

We can't see each other anymore.

End of story.

You can't just give up.

I mean, what about fate?

Some things just aren't meant to be. You
know, if you would spend half your

energy on fighting for something that
you wanted, instead of fighting against

it, your life would be a hell of a lot
better than it is.

It was a mistake. I was wrong.

You can't pretend that you don't have
feelings for me.

Brayden, go home.

I saw Erica last night. Don't want to
hear it, Brayden.

You know, I've tried my best to be your
friend, your mentor, even your big

brother. And you have been.

Why do you think that is?

I don't know.

Because I chose to.

I made a choice to help you, to protect
you whenever I could.

You made a choice in not telling me
about Erica.

And that choice has consequences that
you're just going to have to deal with.

Oh, uh...

By the way, surfboard's called last
night.

They want to sponsor you.

But you're on your own.

I'm done with you.

I called you.

Called you like five times.

Yeah, sorry I didn't call you back.

Just kind of hoping we can avoid having
this conversation.

I can't dodge you forever.

I wouldn't want you to.

You know, I always give you a hard time
about being impetuous.

Maybe that's one of the reasons we
stopped dating.

We talk too much.

You sure about that? I mean, I'm not in
a high school.

I would choose you over any high school
guy any day of the week.

They really want to sponsor him?

Guess so.

I think he should go.

I mean, I can handle...

grades and groundings, but quite
frankly, I'm nervous about this

with Erica.

I mean, at his age, his emotions are so
raw, things could really get out of

hand.

A month away from Erica, you know, from
this town could give him enough

perspective to let things cool off.

It's your call, Ava.

And that makes this next part even
harder.

I'd like you to still go with him.

What?

No. Wait a minute. You got him into
this.

Ava, no.

Jay, you can't just drop out like that.

Not only for his sake, but for your own.

He needs you, and you need him.

I can't forgive him. No matter what
happens, we're a family.

Families fight, then they make up.

Please, just give it a month.

There's a greater good here that I hope
you understand.

Bye. It's only a month.

Exactly. It'll be the first time the
three of us haven't been together in...

don't think we've ever not been
together, have we?

Well, it's going to happen sooner or
later, Dee. I'll take the lead.

Listen, we'll always be together.

No matter where we are.

I promise.

I can't believe you're going.

We'll be back before you know it. I
don't care about that. I just can't

you get to go. I'm the one who needs a
vacation.

Thanks.

I'll miss you.

You're doing a good thing.

Hey.

You better get going.

Okay, well, um, call me when you get to
the hotel.

No, no, wait. You know what? Call me
when you land first, and then call me

when you get to the hotel.

I know. I'm sorry.

Thank you.

Hey, take care of each other.

I love you.

Just fill out the forms. They'll give
you your badge, your schedule. They'll

you know what time you surf and what
heat you're in.

Look, Jet, I never got a chance. If you
need anything else, I'll be back.

This is the time.

Francis! I will carry with me to the
grave.

Once in my better days, I'll take

my evil ways.

And if I'm lost inside,

it's because I'm thinking a lot about
you.

About you.

Man, if this room could talk.

Between you and Braden, I'd rather it
didn't.

Yeah.

Jay caught me up.

Shouldn't be one hell of a trip. Yeah,
well, it's either the best idea in the

world or the worst mistake.

Time will tell.

So I noticed you left pretty early the
other night.

Yeah, it was crowded.

You know me and crowds.

I hate them.

So how are things over at Mona's?

That's good.

There's always some adjusting to living
with someone.

Well, now that Braden's left, you could
always have your old room back if you

need it.

It's tempting.

I'm serious, Johnny.

Move back here.

The family needs... I need you.

I'm sorry.

I don't even know why I asked that. Just
forget I said anything.

How in the hell do you expect me to
forget? Damn it, Ava, you made a choice.

Or you picked someone else. You picked
Simon. And I was wrong.

Yeah, well, you're too late.

You asked me to leave, so I left. You
pushed me to move on, to grow up, and I

did. And now you tell me this? Now. I
guess I kept looking over my shoulder,

expecting you to be there. And then all
of a sudden, you weren't.

So this is about you wanting what you
can't have. No.

No, it's not like that at all.

I think we need to face some facts here.

We have used this relationship as a
safety net, when the fact is we are just

people who've idealized what was a
really, really great run nine years ago.

But it is in the past, and I think we
should keep it in the past.
