Original subtitles

Previously on North Shore.

Out of business, did you say you were running? All right, kid, what else?

All right, huh?

The reason I didn't get on that plane to go to the Big Island, I wanted to be

together again, MJ.

I can't.

What does this mean?

Are we together?

I hope so.

I shouldn't even be here.

Why? We're just having lunch.

No, I'm not available.

Hey, Jason, no.

Hey, Tessa. What the hell's going on?

So what now? Are we done?

I don't think that we can be together anymore.

I'll have a blue Christmas.

Without you I'd be so blue Just

thinking about you

Decorations of red On

a green Christmas tree Won't mean a thing,

dear If you're not here with me I know I'm blue

Snowflakes have fallen.

When those blue, blue memories start falling.

You'll be doing all right with your Christmas of

white. Oh, but I have a blue... Adrian Weber. I've written anything with his

name on it. If you could afford it. Yeah.

Mr. Weber, Alexandra Hudson.

Pleased to meet you.

It's nice to put a face to a very persuasive voice on the other end of the

phone. Well, trust me, you will not be sorry that you decided to launch your

collection here at the Grand Waimea. Well, to be honest, I'm a little in New

York, especially at Christmases.

Cold and dreary, but Hawaii is full of fun, sun, and bare skin. It's perfect

my new line. I couldn't agree more.

It's an honor to meet you, Mr. Weber.

I'm Tessa.

Adrian, please.

You have incredible cheekbones.

God, Adrian, who's not lying and getting a little bit tired?

Tessa, Alexandra, this is... Natalia Ross.

You look just like you do in Vogue. Right this way.

I love those shoes.

Last year in Santiago, I went for travel. Speaking of which, Adrian, my

killing me from the flight. I can set you up with a massage in our spa.

Last time I went to a spa, I caught some kind of rash. And I can have them if

they're sweet.

Okay, we set up a reception for you guys. Why don't you go have a cocktail

we'll get you all checked in.

Thank you.

Well, it's Christmas, and all I have to say is ho, ho, ho.

What does it do with models and champagne?

They said they haven't eaten all day. The bubbles are actually pretty filling.

I'm kind of busy right now, Jason. Can I get you something?

I owe you an apology.

What I did with Tessa, well, it wasn't cool.

You're my best friend.

And it'll never happen again. I'm sorry.

Look, man, you dog my girl.

And not just any girl. You know I'm really into her.

I can't just pretend that never happened.

Come on, Frankie.

I'm saying I'm sorry.

Yeah, well, that's not good enough.

So maybe you should...

Just steer clear of me.

Tessa, too.

Frankie. Frankie.

These girls sure know how to protect an image.

Yeah. Which is exactly what you're going to do tomorrow night at the fashion

show.

Yeah, Alexander, the thing is, I like models.

Fashion shows, not really my thing.

Oh, you're going to be there.

Because the press is going to be there.

And when people see the Grand Waimea's very own pro surfer rubbing elbows with

the beautiful people, they're going to want to stay here.

No, but... Now, I made you an appointment with a personal shopper at

try looking like you didn't sleep on the beach.

You know, I did a shoot yesterday with three male models who wouldn't deserve

be in the same photo with you.

What can I get you?

Actually, I'm looking for some strong male hands.

Well, I'm only licensed to serve alcohol, so... Natalia, sorry to

Tessa, hey.

Hey.

I get it. You two are together.

You must be standing by whenever you're ready.

She was sitting on me. I'm sorry.

Hey, I'm not a monk.

You have nothing to worry about. I'm not going to... Look, I'm not trying to

stop you.

What? I said I wanted us to take our time, but the past couple weeks... Maybe

it's been too intense.

What are you saying?

Maybe we should slow it down again.

Keep our options open.

You want us to see other people.

All I'm saying is... Maybe it's too soon for us to be exclusive.

What do you think?

Well, I don't want to rush into something.

Hey, hottie with the dread.

I need a refill over here.

Well, you better, um... Yeah.

I found my own man. I'll make it on my own in paradise.

I found my own man. I'll never be alone in paradise. Wish you were near now.

Wish you were here tonight.

I wish you were here tonight.

This really is a beautiful hotel.

Thank you.

You know, I saw your show in Milan and it was amazing.

Oh.

My staff and I intend to do such a good job that you're going to want to make

this an annual event.

There you are.

What does America's Freshest Face have to do to get your attention these days?

Excuse me.

Hmm.

Slow it down, Natalia.

You haven't stopped drinking since we got off the plane and this place is

crawling with press. I do not want to repeat what happened in Sydney.

Stop freaking out.

Go to your room.

Get a massage and get some sleep. Because I'll be honest with you,

America's freshest face, it's daunting to look a little stiff.

Let go of me!

Natalia!

Get some help, Natalia!

How is she? She was lucky.

The doctor says it's some bruised ribs and a sprained ankle.

But she won't be on the catwalk tomorrow.

I'm going to have to cancel her show.

Oh, that's pretty disappointing, not to mention costly to you and me. I'm sorry,

I just get the one chance to launch the new line, and I'd rather wait till New

York next month and do it without Natalia.

Give a dozen other models.

It's window dressing. As much as I'd like to think about my designs, these

it's just as much about who's wearing them.

I'm sorry, maybe next year.

All right, the board is expecting good press from this, so go after him and

change his mind.

How am I supposed to do that?

Well, you have really great cheekbones, right?

I'm sure you can convince him.

I'm not going to. Look, I'm not saying that you have to sleep with Adrian. Just

at least distract him long enough for me to figure out a way out of this mess,

okay?

You're in a hurry?

Bottled models everywhere.

You're running me ragged with all their crazy demands.

I'm surprised that you're not down on the beach right now, laying down your

tired old food -equals -sex rap on some 19 -year -old with legs up to her neck.

That rep doesn't work for the models. I don't eat, so I never date them. You, on

the other hand, can really suck the meat off a chicken bone.

You really know how to flatter a girl. Anyway, I'm hearing you're officially

single. Dinner?

Smart night?

Look, Tommy...

Even if you weren't the most arrogant man on the island, Jason and I just

up, okay? I'm not about to get into some rebound thing.

You know what? You really are something.

Tommy?

Lexi. Oh, my God.

What are you doing?

We haven't seen you since New York. What are you doing here?

I'm working here.

That's awesome.

Hey, can you hook up with us tomorrow night after the show?

As a matter of fact, I can.

I don't have any plans.

Awesome. Then you can make some of that no -fat, no -sugar, completely organic

chocolate mousse.

And you can eat it off your body like last time.

Well, we've got to get to sitting.

Okay. Bye. Bye.

Bye.

Bye.

You never date models.

Eating food off someone's body is not technically dating.

You're terrible.

Yeah.

Unbelievable. Goodbye.

God, that was so much fun.

Thanks for having me pick out a suit. You are so lucky to be able to go to

fashion show.

There's going to be fashion editors and photographers.

Where are you going?

Sold out.

Oh. Not that any of those people will be interested in my little beachwear line.

Suits, that's really happening, though, huh?

Yeah.

I'm hoping to start production next month and open the store by spring.

Life is good.

Yeah.

What?

Chris asked me to get back together.

MJ, that's great.

I said no.

I just need to be on my own right now.

Not dependent on anybody.

You know, focused on my career. No drama, no men.

You know, the problem with spending all your time on your career is you never

have any fun.

You need a date.

It's a fashion show.

What?

You don't think the Grand Waimea's very own pro surfer can snag an extra ticket?

Are you kidding?

Come on!

Yeah!

Hey, kid, you made it. Yeah.

I'm not going to be able to do lunch with you today.

Work? No, thanks.

You're doing a drug deal here. What, are we going to just sit around eating

sushi, making small talk, pretending everything's normal?

Too bad.

Because the Toro at this place is fantastic.

Is this some kind of joke to you?

No, Jason, it's deadly serious.

And I figured you, of all people, would understand why I've got to do what I

have to to get the hotel back. What you ought to be doing is trying to get

yourself back, Vincent.

What the hell are you talking about?

Okay. You know what?

I blew it with Nicole.

Frankie and I were on the out. And so I thought to myself, at least I still have

Vincent. And I realized something. I've already lost you because the man that I

admire, the man who's as much my father as my own, would not be doing this.

So if you run into Vincent Colville, just let him know that I would love to

for sushi. Otherwise, don't call me again.

Merry Christmas, man.

Hey, you two, anything else?

I'm going to have to go up to my son.

I'll be right back.

Natalia, Ron.

I don't want to shoot.

Off the charts.

Just for single days, you would have been all over that.

Who says those days are over?

I thought you and Tessa were serious.

Yeah, me too.

What happened?

She says it's going too fast for her and you shouldn't be exclusive.

So maybe she's not as into it as I thought.

Cool to have the green light to go after other chicks, right?

Definitely. And what about her?

Think she's going to be hooking up with other guys?

Make sure they go in the hanging boxes.

I don't want them arriving as a crumpled ball.

Hey, Jean. I've been looking for you. Hey, Tessa. How are you? What can I do

you? I was just wondering if there was any way that you would reconsider

canceling.

You know how long it takes to put a collection together?

I'm sorry, I'm not willing to waste all that hard work if the show's not going

to be perfect.

Is this Natalia's wardrobe?

Uh -huh.

This one is incredible.

You have a good eye.

This is a bias -cut washed silk. I was going for more of that weathered

feel.

And this...

was inspired by a 1940s starlet look.

Thank you.

Your work means a lot to women like me.

Women like you?

You know, regular girls.

Just because we can't afford your dresses doesn't mean that we can't see

wearing them in magazines and dream of looking that beautiful.

Tessa, you are beautiful.

Why don't you... Try this.

You want her to do what?

I want her to be my featured model in the show.

I told him. It's ridiculous. I'm not a model. Exactly.

Okay, I'm not following.

Is she beautiful?

Exceptionally. But she's a regular girl.

Well, I never really thought of Tessa exactly that way.

You know what I mean.

She's real.

She's made me realize how...

Sick I am of hanging my clothes on people that don't even exist in the real

world.

She made quite an impression on you.

It's quite simple.

She agrees to do the show, and I won't cancel.

This is crazy.

I'm not going to make a fool out of myself.

Sorry, I have stage fright.

Take a month to relax her, sweetie, and get over it.

The show must go on.

I cannot believe Adrian asked someone off the street to step in.

Micah?

Who are you?

The girl off the street.

Oh.

Sorry, no offense, sweetie.

Trust me. I think it's just as crazy as you do.

Has anyone even taught you to walk?

No. Well, you can't just lumber down the runway like a truck driver.

Who did that?

Okay. Don't worry, honey.

Micah is not going to sit back and let this train wreck happen.

Shoulders back, hip forward, and walk.

Very easy.

Walk.

Come on, you try.

Oh, well, at least you have good bazoombas.

But you need fillets.

We need chicken fillets over here.

Every model's secret.

Don't eat that.

I've been sent to keep the models hydrated.

Do you have anything stronger?

I heard what happened. I can't believe it.

It's like a bad dream.

I'm going to trip on that runway and crush my fillets.

You're going to do great.

None of these girls have anything on you.

Thanks. Listen, I never really got a chance to apologize for accusing you of

taking my bracelet.

I wish I hadn't stolen it.

I'd be in jail right now.

Which would be easier than handling this.

What did Frankie think about all this?

Oh, I think he's a little too busy with the real models to notice.

What are you talking about?

I caught him flirting with Natalia Ross.

Uh -oh.

What did you do?

I told him maybe we should see other people.

Girls gotta protect... yourself look tessa you probably know a lot more about

men than i do but it sounds to me like you're playing games and if you're not

careful you might lose him

I need some service. Damn it.

Hey.

Hey.

So... This fashion show is pretty exciting, huh? Yeah.

Yeah, it is.

Speaking of fashion, how's your work coming?

Good. Good.

Well, I'm glad you're getting the time you need for your career.

Yeah.

I gotta go to work.

Nice to see the happy couple together again.

Actually, we're still broken up.

Well, then it must be my lucky day.

I need a handsome man on my arm for the fashion show.

I don't know. Four o 'clock?

Are you sure?

Hey! Hey.

Did you hear?

Adrian's got some text from filling in for me.

Yeah, it's pretty surprising.

Not really.

Well, if you mean to have the looks for it, you won't get any argument from me.

But that doesn't make somebody a model.

It's just Adrian taking his wrath to the extreme. And what do you mean?

You've got incredible cheekbones.

Have you ever thought about modeling?

He does it all the time.

How do you get them to build pants?

Well, Tessa's smart. She can take care of herself.

Adrian's a pretty hard guy to resist.

It's not like we're exclusive or anything.

Really?

Then how about you be my date for the show?

Ballet stand, Kai speaking.

Hi, hi, it's Nicole.

Hey, Nicole.

Listen, my car died. I'm at some bar.

The Viking?

Careful, Nicole. That's a rough place.

Sit tight and I'll send somebody to pick you up. Thank you so much.

Everything okay?

Yeah, Nicole's stuck.

Uh -huh. She said it was a rough place.

Yeah, the Viking off the Poly Highway?

Mm -hmm. I'm headed that way. I'll pick her up.

Wow.

Look at you two. The nines and the champagne.

I think just a few months ago you were the helper out here.

Don't want to close for you. We still work for the man.

Shouldn't I say woman?

What's up with that?

Alex asked Chris to be our arm candy for the day.

Don't worry, it's nothing.

We're not together.

What is Frankie doing with Natalia Ross?

Apparently he and Tessa agreed to see other people.

Wow.

What's going on with you two?

I should mingle.

Why don't you keep your weight off your ankle?

I'll be back with some grants.

No. Did somebody order a tall drink of water? Because it has just arrived.

Do you know where I can find Tessa?

Yeah. She's over there.

It's good you know this, okay?

Adrenaline feeds the performance.

Well, in that case, I should be spectacular.

Tessa, you wouldn't be here if I didn't believe in you, okay?

Frankie.

Adrian, would you just give me a minute?

Okay, but be quick.

You're only less than an hour.

Sorry, I didn't mean to bother you. I just wanted to wish you luck.

I know you're crazy.

That's a good word for it. I still can't believe I'm doing this.

Why can't you? You look beautiful.

Thanks, but Adrian spends his life around beautiful women and licks me?

Yeah, I guess he thinks you're pretty hot. I mean, he has his hands all over

you. He's just trying to make sure everything fits.

What do you think?

What are you trying to say?

I hear he has a habit of sleeping with his models, that's all.

What about you?

Do you have a habit of sleeping with models?

Look, Tessa, you're the one who said you were cool with seeing other people.

I am.

I guess I got nothing to say about you and this Adrian guy either.

Come on, Tessa.

We've got to get you into makeup.

Look, I'm sorry.

I know you're going to be great.

Break a leg.

That's what I'm afraid of.

Hey. Hey.

Take your hands off her. Tommy, no.

Tommy.

Are you okay?

What?

What are you?

I'm fine. Say hi to Carl and Leo.

Hey, man. Sorry for dropping you like that.

Just instinct when you come in at my buddy with a pool cue.

Uh -huh.

But, uh, he was... Teaching me how to make a behind -the -back bank shot.

Uh -huh. You said, oh.

Well, it's not a natural position.

You're always thinking I'm saving you.

Aw, sweet.

Idiotic.

Sweet. Hey, come in.

We'll buy you a beer.

Hey, I'm Jay.

I'm glad I ran into you. Could you take this to the bar for me, please?

I'm not working, Alexandra.

I have a ticket.

Okay, well, that's nice for you, sweetie, but I'm still your boss, so,

I'm opening my own shop.

So, I don't really need your lousy job anymore.

I quit.

Okay, then, if that's what you want.

Are you ready, Chris?

Actually, I'll catch up with you.

Okay. Try to hurry. I don't want to mess anything.

Bye.

Angie, what are you doing?

You need a job till you get the store open.

Are you, like, her date or something?

She's my boss. She asked me to come with her.

So is servicing your boss part of your job description now?

I think you've had a little too much to drink.

And besides, I tried to get back together with you and you said no.

So what do you care who I'm with?

You're right.

What was a bunch of fights?

Oh, come on. You're the one who's always telling me to have more fun.

Are you okay?

Fine. It's a combination of too much beer and a blow to the head with a

He hit you with his fist.

He decided to pawn that guy.

Tell him he wasn't blind.

Whatever. You're in no shape to be operating heavy machinery, so let me

Whoa. Have you ever driven a motorcycle before?

I drove a Vespa all over Italy one summer during college.

How much harder can it be?

Well...

Get on somewhere to drink.

Delivery comes in Saturday night.

By the next morning, it's on a ship to Hong Kong.

If this goes right, next time we'll move twice the weight.

Saka, maybe your boss didn't tell you the particulars of our deal, but this is

one -time thing.

I think maybe you and her got your signals crossed somewhere, Vincent.

Then you make it real clear to her.

After this, I'm done.

Funny. She asked me to make it real clear to you.

She's got too much invested to let you quit.

So get it through your head.

You're not your own man anymore, Vincent.

That's where you're wrong.

Tell your boss I'm shutting this place down. I'm out.

You should think about your family and friends.

Don't worry, sweetie.

Be the little model who could.

I think I can. I think I can. I think I can. Of course you can. Go, Daphne.

Come on, sweetie. We've got to get you changed into the next dress. Go, go, go,

go, go, go.

MJ, what's the matter with you?

I'm sorry. I'm sorry. Oh, God.

Hey,

hey, hey.

Get her out of here.

Hey, call me when you get her home.

Thank you.

Now that was fun.

Hey. Hey.

Thought you'd be at the fashion show.

Yeah, me too. I got stuck. Tommy had to go and pick me up.

But you were the one driving.

Right. Well, Tommy got punched in the head.

It's kind of a long story.

I'm sure it is.

Jason, wait.

Come on.

There's nothing going on between us, if that's what you think.

Nicole, it's okay.

Really, we're broken up. You don't owe me any explanations.

So, uh, what do I get for coming to your rescue?

Oh, well, I, um, I guess the least I could do is have dinner with you.

Oh, that's right.

You have a play date with anorexia and bulimia.

Chance too bad.

Are you excited?

It's all still, I don't know. I never expected.

Well, that you'd be such a natural.

I knew you could do it.

Even if you didn't.

Look, Frankie, if Adrian was a new star, she didn't even break a heel.

Well, I just wanted to tell you all that you were great out there.

Thank you.

Go ahead, Tessa, tell them.

Adrian offered me a modeling contract.

What the hell's going on?

Oh, it's simple.

She's in, you're out.

Hey, I'm not done talking to you, Adrian.

Well, uh, congratulations.

I haven't said yes yet, but it's way more money than what I'm making now.

I get to travel the world and see places I've only dreamed about.

He wants me to leave on the red -eye with everyone to Milan.

Tonight?

What do you think I should do?

This sounds like an incredible opportunity.

So if this is what you really want, tell him to stay on your way.

Hello? Hey, kid.

It's me.

I just wanted you to know you really got to me today.

I'm out.

Vincent, you don't know how happy that makes me.

So, see you tomorrow?

Yeah, I'll be there.

Later. Bye.

That good enough?

She won't move.

You just saved the kid's life. Now let's get back to work.

I'd say the event was a big success.

In spite of your ex's little sideshow.

Yeah. I don't know what got into her.

I do.

Broken up or not, she didn't like seeing her man with another woman.

And forgive me for saying, but you do need a woman.

What are you talking about?

Maybe the reason things didn't work out with MJ is that she still has a lot of

growing up to do.

Yeah.

Maybe. I had a really nice time with you.

I hope we can do it again.

That's not part of my job description, Alex.

Excuse me?

I'm sorry. I just thought that... What?

We're off the clock. Go home. Alex, I didn't mean it like that.

Yes, you did.

Alex. You think I don't know what people say about me?

And they're right.

Sometimes when you're the boss, you have to be the bitch and you don't really

make a lot of friends.

So it was nice to spend an afternoon with somebody I liked. That's all.

It was nice for me too.

So look, I'm sorry if I misunderstood.

Okay?

Honest.

Okay.

So how about another drink?

Right there.

I'll listen to that gentleman right over there.

Aren't you supposed to be getting slathered with chocolate mousse right

now? Told you I never date models.

I'd much rather have dinner with you.

I guess I can't let a man eat alone this close to Christmas.

Can I?

So when am I going to finally get you alone?

Come on, Nathalie, we're going to miss our flight.

I thought I was out on the test I was in.

I was just making a point.

You're irreplaceable.

So from now on, I expect you to toe the line.

I'm not testing.

Not testing.

Come on, take it back.

Now we see how it is.

It's face against the spear.

Weapons of war.

Hey, going somewhere?

Milan, actually.

Adrian offered me a contract and we're all meeting here to caravan to the

airport.

What about your job?

The club, what about Frankie?

I gave him a chance to tell me that he wanted me to stay.

But he didn't.

Don't go.

You've got to be kidding me.

No, that's not what you think.

This is about Frankie.

You know, I've never seen him into anyone the way that he's into you.

He told you that? He doesn't have to. He's my best friend.

At least he was.

And if you leave, it'll break his heart.

What was that all about?

He was just telling me something I needed to hear.

I'm afraid I have something to tell you, too.

Me first.

Okay.

I said I wanted us to be other people.

But the truth is, I was just protecting myself.

Because I thought if you knew how much I really cared about you, I'd scare you

off.

I don't want you to be with anybody else, Frankie.

I need you to know I'm in love with you.

You know, you're lucky.

I almost got on that plane with Ben.

Yeah, I'm lucky, all right.

So, what was it you were going to tell me?

Just that I'm in love with you, too.

Sure.

That's probably what you said.

Gonna hit me?

No, bro.

I'm gonna give you a hug, man.

It took a lot to say what you did.

I just really want you to be happy.

What about you and Nicole?

I love her.

But she deserves to be happy, too, and I don't think that I can honestly make

her happy right now.

Guess we're only good for saving one relationship at night.

Thanks, bro.
