[Chuckles]

Do you want me to sign a poster for you?

[Both chuckle]

Was this always your dream?

- Well, in my dreams you were usually naked,

but this is still pretty cool.

[ Laughs ]

Just look at you.

What?

I guess I'm lucky.

I've always been able to make a good living doing what I love.

First surfing and now shaping.

- But also you live with your parents.

- [Laughs] No, I live near my parents, not with my parents.

I'm a parent adjacent.

- [Laughing] Oh, parent adjacent. Okay.

- Hey, Gavin. - Yeah.

Was it hard?

On the one hand, yeah.

Yeah, because not a lot of guys make it pro.

But, um, the weird thing is that it never really felt hard.

I guess that's what it's like when you --

when you find your thing.

You know, it's like a perfect wave that picks you up,

and you just...ride.

- My wave is gonna cost about a million bucks.

What, the restaurant?

There's a guy.

- Oh, baby. Dude, you're breaking up with me in my own bed.

- [Laughs] - That's brutal.

- It's a fast-food guy.

Right.

- And, um, he wants to come check out the restaurant, so...

Oh.

- I don't know, I guess make an offer.

Sure.

??

[Sighs]

??

What would you do?

??

- I would say, "Thanks, but bye."

You can't bend to the man, baby.

You just...can't.

??

? I can feel your tide ?

? Pulling me ?

? Call when the sunlight falls ?

? And the tide will bring me home ?

[Birds crying]

- It's just that they're -- they're both hurting

so much at the moment.

- It's nothing that can't be mended by a few days

of good old masculine silence.

- Would you just listen to yourself?

- Well, happened to me and the boys as well.

We'd have this huge blow-up.

We'd give each other a wide berth for a few days.

- Yeah, just repress your feelings.

- Well, exactly, and look how well they turned out.

[Laughs]

- Martin's -- he's not handling things at the moment.

And actually, he's not handling anything.

Mm.

Won't you talk to him?

And say what?

Hey, Ma. Um...

Is it okay if my girlfriend joins us for breakfast?

That would be wonderful.

- Girlfriend. [Chuckles]

Hey, Pops.

- You want coffee? - Hello. Good morning.

- Uncle Jack. Auntie Wilma.

It's about time.

Hey, what's up?

Morning.

Hey.

Going diving?

Yeah, correct.

- Just asking, 'cause cramped the last time.

- Well, I have a bunch of scientists with me.

- I'm sure I'll survive. - Sounds very important.

- Yeah, we're just tagging tuna and some gannet,

and we're gonna track them as they follow the sardine run.

If there's any left. But, yeah, that's what we'll do.

- Why do you have to dive for that?

Can't you just throw a net?

- Yeah. - 12 years of study, two PhDs.

Yeah. Not really thinking about throwing nets.

Um, Mom, thanks for taking the kids.

I appreciate it.

- No, it's -- it's fine. Have a good day, huh?

Yeah. Thank you.

Sheesh.

Where's Dad going?

- I'm taking you to school today.

- I can take Lucy. I can...

But Dad said...

- No, I know, he's just very busy at the moment.

But he said he would.

- No, I know, but he's -- he's so stressed and...

- Why don't we help him? - Ah, that's good.

So you take these.

We'll have a really good chat in the car, all right?

- Bye, Lucy. - Bye, Luce.

- Bye, Lucy. - Bye.

??

- Obviously, all of this would be gutted.

And we'd roll in the modular interior.

Counter over there.

Booth over there and digital menus there.

- Oh, no, we've -- we've got our own menus.

- Yeah, the whole menu would be changing.

You would serve standardized units to conform

to Fast Fish requirements.

And what about the fishermen?

Ah, no, no, no.

Approved national suppliers only.

No need to worry about that.

[Scoffs]

Becca.

This is my daughter, Rebecca, our wonderful chef.

- Would she stay as manager, or...?

- She...would rather cut off her own hand

than sell your cardboard shit.

Rebecca!

I'm sorry. She's under a lot of stress.

You know what it is, running a place like this is.

Yes.

If we perhaps knew what you were offering.

??

??

??

??

- Wow, you're actually going diving today.

- What? Why does everyone keep asking me that?

Because you never dive.

You are the driest marine biologist I've ever met.

- Did you speak to the department?

Will they -- Will they meet with us?

They agreed.

Especially after I threatened them

with corruption charges.

- You did what? - We'll get the evidence.

Right.

Um, we've put underwater receivers...

...in the no-take zone over here.

The no-take zone.

Table Mountain MPA.

And then, uh, just further out here in the bay.

These two.

Okay.

While you go diving,

I'll go to Suncorp and start pulling from their data.

Great.

'Cause if we have enough info,

we can start planning our fundraiser.

I get that we need funds,

but I don't understand what it's got to do with our proof.

- It's two birds with one stone.

We got all the right stakeholders in one room,

department reps,

and then we hit them with the truth

of what's actually going on in this bay.

Okay.

??

- So when Mark Antony says, "Let slip the dogs of war,"

we can see he's not talking about real dogs.

It's another metaphor. So let's add that to our list.

Let's get out of here.

- Are you serious? - Mm.

[Retches]

- Oh! Oh, gross, miss! Tristan barfed on me.

- Sorry, miss. I'm just a bit sick.

- Miss, I got to go change. This is so gross.

- Do you -- Do you need someone to call your father?

- No, ma'am. It's fine. I think my gran would be better.

Miss, I feel really weird.

I'm kind of hot and dizzy. I think I've got what he's got.

- It's fine, Yolanda, you can go.

- Thank you, ma'am. Thank you.

??

- Pieter, get a caretaker to clean this up.

- Yes, ma'am. - Okay, let's -- let's continue.

??

??

??

??

What if we just go?

For weeks now you've been telling me

to take a step back, to take a break.

So what if I just do that?

What if we sell,

and if there's enough money for both of us

we can just go to Peru or Morocco.

Vietnam.

You can surf and I can cook,

and we can buy a food truck and just live at the back.

I think that's...

I think that's an incredibly... bad idea.

Ten years ago, fully.

But -- But now I want...

...I want structure.

Are you getting angry?

- No, no. It's just...

You know, I'm telling you not to give up on your dream,

and then you're telling me that I'm the slacker

when you're the one who's copping out.

- Copping out? - Isn't that what you're doing?

Bend to the man, take his dirty money,

and then we'll go live in a beach in Peru.

- Okay, what the hell do you know

about standing up before authority, huh?

I don't want to fight.

- But what have you done, Gavin?

In the real world?

- What, besides build two very successful careers?

Please.

Surfing is posing on an expensive plank,

and then you fall off.

Look, all I'm saying is,

don't give up on your dreams.

??

??

??

??

Okay, let's have a look.

Let's have a check here.

[Grunts] [Thermometer beeps]

No, it's normal.

Well, that's good, huh?

It's horrible when you're feeling sick, eh?

Sure you don't want some tea, some toast?

Hmm?

You know, sometimes our -- our tummies play up

when we're feeling upset.

Just a stomach bug, Gran.

- Sure? Because... - Yeah, yeah.

Just need to rest. Sleep it off.

Mm.

[Horn honks]

[Horn honks]

??

- Ahoy there! What do you think?

40 K's to the gallon, a gas hob, fridge.

And you know the best of all?

She won't sink in rough weather. [Laughs]

- Jack, what's going on here? - Yeah.

You said no boats, so...

Ta-da!

This thing will go anywhere. Anywhere.

You know, as long as it's tarred roads

and the hills aren't so steep.

Come on. What do you think, eh? Is this lovely?

- Mm. Did you -- Did you borrow it?

- No, no, no, I bought it. Cash on the barrel.

Okay.

- How much? - Oh, not much, not much.

- It was 300,000. - For a Kombi.

- Eh, no, no, no. This is a restored classic.

This is the -- the passion wagon of our varsity days.

Well, what's wrong now, Wilma?

- Jack, how -- how can you go and buy something like this

without talking to me?

But we did talk.

You said you wanted to travel, but no boats.

- Yes, but I mean going away for -- for a weekend.

But... No, this is going back.

- No, he gave me a very good price.

I can't just throw this back in his face.

Are you completely oblivious?

Did you see your son this morning?

Yeah.

- Do you have any idea why he's come home?

- Well, to save the bloody penguins.

- He's just lost his wife. He's falling apart.

He's come home to be with his family.

You and me.

- Yeah. And what has that got to do with the campervan?

- Look, take this campervan and...

And what?

[Groans]

[Bell ringing]

[Indistinct conversations]

??

??

- Thank you, everyone. Thank you.

Okay. Welcome.

I know we're all very excited to hear from our moms and dads

about their careers.

And, um, as soon as we're all here, we'll jump straight in.

I'm sure he'll be here any second.

??

??

??

??

All right.

[Exhales sharply] Let's do this.

??

You coming in?

What?

Huh? Oh, yeah, no.

I know.

I was just -- I was just checking if you're okay.

??

??

[Mouthpiece hissing]

??

??

- Martin. Receiver. Gone.

- What?! - It's not there.

Gone?

- Or stolen it. Definitely stolen it.

[Stammering]

Uh, all right, get in.

Let's -- Let's go to the next one.

??

Thank you. Mr. Smit.

I had no idea wood pulp could be so fascinating.

Well, I was hoping we would have one more presentation today,

but I don't think that's going to happen.

Lucy, I'm afraid I couldn't get through to your father.

- You can't phone him when he's diving.

It's his job.

- Would you like to tell us more?

[Children murmuring]

- He's a very famous marine biologist.

- How fascinating. - My dad saves penguins.

Lame.

- He also saves sharks and whales.

Even mermaids, like my mom and me.

[Laughter]

Children, please.

- Children. - She actually thinks she's a mermaid.

- We respect everyone in this class.

[Whispering] Mermaid!

[Laughter]

??

??

- How is it? - Shh!

Monkey?

- Oh. - Is that you?

What, Dad?

Are you okay?

Yeah, I'm...

...gonna go upstairs.

??

And?

- Taken. - Bloody hell.

- Of the seven receivers we've placed,

we've only got three left.

- But how do they know where we are?

- I mean, are they spying on us? - Or tracking us.

- Okay, let's get you in the boat.

- [Mockingly] I'm a mermaid. I'm a mermaid.

- Eats a sandwich made from whale poop.

Whale poop.

- I never said I was actually a mermaid.

Liar.

- You know how people sometimes are like animals

because of how they look and stuff they do?

No.

- Well, if someone's always jumping around,

you say they're a frog.

Or if they do something gross, you say,

"Ew, you're such a pig."

- I like pigs. We've got pigs at home.

- Pigs are clever. - All animals are clever.

Except you.

- I just meant I'm always in the ocean with my dad

likea mermaid.

Is he a mermaid too?

- He's a marine biologist, and he was going to come today.

But he's just so famous and important

and busy saving False Bay that he couldn't.

- Liar! - I'm not lying.

- Liar! - We don't talk to liars.

- Come. Let's go. - I know.

- Uh, yes, I do have proof of payment right here.

I know it's a week late,

but my mother did explain that we had some cash-flow problems.

Mm-hmm.

Listen, for 18 years I have never missed a payment.

So can you just -- Can you just please check again?

Thank you.

??

??

??

??

[Knock on door]

[Whispering] Hide.

The bathroom.

Here. Come on through.

??

- Dr. Sachs is waiting downstairs.

Okay?

??

[Door closes]

??

??

??

??

??

??

??

??

[Door closes]

- I-I told you to hide in the bathroom.

Have you been going through my stuff?

No. Um...

You were really obsessed.

Was.

Why did you stop?

I just did.

Did your dad force you?

No.

This is incredible.

I'd love to photograph you doing this.

- I think you should go before he comes back.

What?

Um, then why aren't we going to the beach anymore?

- I don't want to get busted. - Since when?

Tristan.

??

??

- Are we cool? - Yeah.

See you tomorrow.

??

??

- For strength and to remind you

that I'm always here for you.

??

??

??

??

??

??

??

??

Hey, Luce.

Tristan's sick.

- What? - Granny fetched him.

- Lucy, I'm really sorry about today.

- It's okay. - Uh, Martin?

Just let her go.

- What? - It's for the best.

Oh, doing this all by yourself. I-I can't even imagine.

- Look, it's just one of those days.

You know what I mean?

Well, actually, today

she told everyone you were diving,

obviously, um, but then she...

she said that you were saving mermaids,

like her and Julia.

Anyway, I got to go.

- The kids might have teased her a little bit.

Did anything happen?

- You know, Martin, at this age,

they don't really understand what Lucy's going through.

- Thanks, Melanie. I'll -- I'll talk to her.

Uh, Martin?

Um, I just wanted to say that if you...

If you ever need -- I'm not saying that you would --

but if you ever did need or -- or want a woman

to talk to or to help out or whatever,

um, I wanted you to know I'm here for you,

and you can call me at any time.

Right.

Anytime, Martin.

??

??

??

??

- Hey, Pops. - Mm.

What's your poison?

- Uh, no, I'm -- I'm good, thanks.

Can we talk?

- Oh, dear. - No, it's nothing bad.

- It's a good thing. I've only had two of those.

- Um, it's actually a business proposal.

- Oh! I was wondering why you got so dressed up.

- Dad, come on. Seriously. - Okay. Okay. Okay.

- Um, it's for Rebecca's restaurant.

- Mm. Mm-hmm.

- Yeah, she -- she wants to do something

totally new with Salty's, but it's gonna cost.

Um, I'm putting in 300 K,

but she's still gonna need upwards of another 600.

- [Coughs] - Whoa, whoa, whoa, hey.

Before you say no, um, we've done the numbers.

And if it goes like it should,

then you'd be getting 15% on that, easy.

15%?

Yeah. At least.

Ah, look, I know you love

your -- your facts and your numbers.

It's all in there.

- Yeah, that's what those bosses told Eddie Van Rensburg

before they took all his money and buggered off to Singapore.

- Right. She's not a con man, Dad.

- Hmm. - She's the real deal.

She killed it in New York. She's got an amazing vision.

You know what she did with your retirement party?

- Absolutely. She is. She's excellent.

- Yeah. - She's outstanding.

I know that. Um...

Restaurant.

How do you make a small fortune out of a restaurant?

You start with a big fortune.

- [Laughs] - Right.

- How many restaurants close in this town every year?

- Dad, Salty's has been there for 30 years.

- Yes, because it sells honest, decent food

to honest, decent people.

None of this arty-farty New York chopstick nonsense.

Right.

- Look, I know you like this girl.

And I wish her well, I really do.

But if you want to spend 300 K on foreplay...

- Dad, don't. - Ah.

All right, I take it back. Sorry.

Anyway, where'd you get 300 K from?

I saved.

- Listen, I don't have half a million rand

to boost your romance, okay?

I don't.

I mean, you've been together, what, a week?

That's hardly the basis of a sound financial investment.

- Thanks, Dad. Good chat.

Okay.

- So it's fine to blow 300 K on a whim,

but when your son actually needs you, you're not there.

What whim?

- That thing outside. - Ah.

So you'd rather me flush it down Salty's toilet?

- No, it's got nothing to do with the restaurant.

This has got to do with investing with Rebecca.

I mean, it's the first time

Gavin's shown interest in anyone.

- I don't understand what you're trying to say.

- He wants to invest in his future with her,

and he's asking for your backing.

Damn it, Wilma.

If he wants my blessing, is a handshake not enough?

Do we have to give him 600,000 rand

to prove that we like Rebecca?

[Door closes]

Hey, Mum.

Thanks for getting Tristan. Appreciate it.

How's he doing?

- He's locked himself in his room all afternoon.

- All right. Okay. I'll go and have a look on him.

- I don't approve of children locking themselves up.

- And I don't approve of you right now.

??

Hey, Tris.

- Gran says you're not feeling well.

Uh, can we have a quick chat?

I'm not feeling great, Dad.

Tris, I, um...

I just wanted to say

you did a really good job with that footage.

I just wish you'd asked me before you took it.

But from the bit I saw, it was -- it was really good.

Like Mom good.

I need to sleep, Dad.

??

??

Sleep well.

??

??

- Should I take some food to Tristan?

- Uh, no, no. Just let him sleep.

- Well, did you at least manage to watch

some of the video he made?

- Mom, when I've got time, I will.

Okay.

- Pops. - Hi.

- So he's still doing the jackets I see.

- [Laughter] - I also want to wear a jacket.

- No, no, my dear, it's for the gentlemen only.

- Why? - Yeah, why, Dad?

- It's tradition. - But why?

Because.

- See, Luce, that's the thing about tradition.

You ask an old ballie a valid question

and they answer you, "Because."

[Laughter]

- Hey, that's a nice camper outside.

Ah. Ah!

Ah, she knows the lingo, eh?

Baby, in this house,

that's called grounds for divorce.

Well, I think it's great.

- Thank you very much, Rebecca. Please, now tell me more.

- Uh, it was just once. About 15 years ago.

I ran a kitchen out of one in the States.

She served food out of one.

And where did you run this splendid restaurant of yours?

- Burning Man. Nevada.

- You used a miracle of automotive engineering

to serve lentils to a bunch of hippies.

- Yes, I did. - Oh!

Life is strange, eh?

You know, Wilma, I remember a time

when it was Martin's hand under the table.

- Dad, seriously. Come on.

- Why was dad's hand under the table?

- It's a girlfriend-boyfriend thing.

- It was a long time ago, and we're all grown-ups now.

- Yes. - What does that mean?

- Luce, now's not the time, okay.

Do you want some salad?

Okay, I'll give you another chop.

And the back.

- Was it a boyfriend-girlfriend thing?

Luce, rinse.

- Was it a boyfriend-girlfriend thing?

Why you had your hand under the table with Rebecca.

Was it a boyfriend-girlfriend thing?

It's complicated, you know?

- Everything's complicated since Mom...

It's okay that you couldn't come today.

- No, Luce, um, I should have been there.

- You're doing a dad's job and a mom's job.

Plus, you're saving the sea.

Sometimes you'll miss things,

but it's not like when Nama had to leave Noa.

Lucy, I will never leave you.

Sweetheart, if I have to go and do my job just like Nama did,

I promise you I'll come back, okay?

Just like Nama did.

Unless you die.

- My love, I'm not gonna die.

What if you do?

Is everything okay at school?

- It's fine. - Yeah?

Is there anything making you worried or sad

or something like that?

- And friends? - I've got friends.

- Yeah? You got a special one?

- I told them that you couldn't come to school

because you were saving all the animals.

And they said it was really cool.

Of course you did.

??

Hey, Ma.

Sorry about Dad.

The man has trust issues.

His whole life he can't help second-guessing everything I do.

Even though I prove him wrong every single time.

- Oh, he's probably just being a bit cautious.

- Because he doesn't understand.

I mean, he thinks the restaurant is gonna be

one of those hipster joints that serves,

like, a teaspoon of foam and charges you a grand.

Well, is it?

- It's a solid business investment,

led by a very dynamic woman

who also happens to be an amazing artist.

Okay.

Well, you seem to trust her and respect her, so.

- I don't know. I think -- I think she could be the one.

I'll lend you the money.

- Mom, Dad said that it was --

- No, it's not Dad's money. It's my money.

I inherited it from Gran, so.

And it's a loan, eh?

You have to pay me everything back.

Mom, you are incredible.

- You and Rebecca have got this.

- Okay, well, I -- I've got to tell her.

- Okay. - All right.

[Laughs]

Whoo-hoo! [Claps hands]

- He's quite chipper. - Mm.

He's found an investor for the restaurant.

Oh!

There's a sucker born every minute.

I'm lending him the money.

- Oh, Wilma, for heaven's sake. It's half a million rand.

It's my inheritance.

You bought the van, remember?

Let me do my thing.

??

- Today we have a very special visit from a very special guest.

Siya Kolisi!

- It's not Siya Kolisi, but he is very famous.

And he dives deep, deep in the ocean.

- Ooh! - Ooh!

- And today he's here to tell us about his work under the sea

and all the amazing animals he's rescued.

My dad also does that.

Like these.

This is the Mediterranean monk seal.

Pass it back, Hope.

And these are sea otters.

And of course, our penguins.

And, oh, he's even swum with this beauty.

- Dugong. - The dugong.

Many people believe that this is why people believed in mermaids.

Can you see the tail?

??

??

Okay, one last dive,

and then we'll all fly back to Cape Town.

To home. I promise. Okay?

You promise?

[Gasping]

Okay, class.

Please welcome our special guest,

Dr. Martin Fields.

Welcome!

[Muffled speaking]

- Good morning, Dr. Field. - Good morning, Dr. Field.

- Do you know how lucky you are?

Because every day,

kids just like you go to school all over the world.

But you are the only ones

who have African penguins on their rugby field.

[Laughs] Does anyone have a picture of a penguin?

- Here. - Aha!

Trick question --

Does anybody know that little guy's secret name?

- Spheniscus demersus. - That's right.

It sounds like a Harry Potter spell.

[Laughter]

But "spheniscus" is the Latin word for "wedge."

Now, if you look at his body, he looks just like a wedge.

And then "demersus" is the Latin word for "diving."

So he's a little diving wedge.

- They used to be called jackass penguins.

Does anybody know why?

Because they go [braying loudly]

[Laughter]

- But nowadays we just call them the African penguin.

Yes.

- Have you ever touched a shark?

- I once dived off the coast of Fiji in the big Pacific Ocean.

And then all of a sudden,

this massive tiger shark with big teeth

came swimming towards me.

But then he got a little bit too close for comfort,

and I just had to gently push his face away.

- He wasn't scared. He just has to say that.

That's my girl.

So does anybody want to know more about the dugong?

- Me! - Me!

- Yes! [Laughs]

- Look, I really don't want to be there when he gets home.

Is it cool if I come to you afterwards?

- I can't. Um, I've got this stupid thing with my dad.

What thing?

- It's just a stupid thing. It's nothing.

Are you avoiding me?

What? No.

- But you'd rather do this stupid thing with your dad

than hang out with me?

- Why are you getting so tweaked, Tris?

- Tell me that it hasn't been weird since yesterday.

- Hasn't been weird since yesterday.

Then hang out with me.

- Fine. Sundowners at the beach?

Fine.

- Fine. - I've got your word?

??

- Look, I'm really sorry about last time.

It's just that this is a very big step for us.

- We're just glad you reconsidered.

- Mm. Um, so this contract. Is it real?

You're not going to make us pay franchise fees?

Or we're not gonna spend two million on renovations?

- You'll be clearing close to six.

Mm.

- Great. - So, what do you say?

Shall we pop the champagne?

- I'm gonna say -- - No.

She's -- She's gonna say no.

Um [clears throat] she's -- she's gonna say no.

And -- And then she's gonna say sorry,

but, um, she's gonna ask you guys to leave.

- Now. - Uh, and you are?

I am her business partner.

- What? - Come on.

- I'm so sorry. I'll be right back.

Baby, you can't sell Salty's.

I mean, not to -- not to Fast Fish.

- Gavin, I know you think you're helping me with your big ideas

and your principles, but --

I got the money.

Everything that -- that you talked about,

everything that you dreamed, you can do it.

And this time I'm gonna be right here with you.

Why are you doing this?

Because I love you.

That still feels weird.

- Well, I mean, you still feel weird.

- Thank you. - Mm.

[Laughs]
