1 00:00:06,220 --> 00:00:09,720 There's too much choice and not enough time. 2 00:00:10,000 --> 00:00:16,840 You're the only one in town. 3 00:00:17,980 --> 00:00:23,420 You're the only one in town. 4 00:00:29,700 --> 00:00:31,980 What is it about Brothers and Sisters? 5 00:00:32,259 --> 00:00:33,129 I mean... 6 00:00:33,130 --> 00:00:37,030 My brothers and I always get on fantastically well, provided none of us 7 00:00:37,030 --> 00:00:40,350 the same room, because then it just becomes a contest about who can be the 8 00:00:40,350 --> 00:00:46,390 horrible. And it always involves some huge argument about... Actually, I'm 9 00:00:46,390 --> 00:00:47,910 really sure what our arguments are about. 10 00:00:49,470 --> 00:00:50,650 Take my brother Pete. 11 00:00:51,130 --> 00:00:54,610 Whenever we went surfing together, you could always bet that he'd choose the 12 00:00:54,610 --> 00:00:56,290 worst possible spot to go in. 13 00:00:56,570 --> 00:00:58,430 Pete! What are you doing? 14 00:00:58,650 --> 00:00:59,509 Going in. 15 00:00:59,510 --> 00:01:00,730 I'm not blind, I can see that. 16 00:01:01,030 --> 00:01:04,879 Then why us? Because this is a stupid place to go in. The worms are breaking 17 00:01:04,879 --> 00:01:06,080 much better at the northern end. 18 00:01:06,280 --> 00:01:09,000 So you go in at the northern end? Well, I will, but I'm meant to be looking 19 00:01:09,000 --> 00:01:09,759 after you. 20 00:01:09,760 --> 00:01:11,020 I don't need looking after. 21 00:01:11,280 --> 00:01:14,680 Sorry doing this to deliberately annoy me. I want to go in here. And what if 22 00:01:14,680 --> 00:01:17,200 get into trouble? I won't. And what if you do? I won't! 23 00:01:17,760 --> 00:01:19,080 Fine. You drown. 24 00:01:19,280 --> 00:01:20,280 Don't blame me. 25 00:01:21,240 --> 00:01:23,680 Arguments with my little brother were always like that. 26 00:01:24,060 --> 00:01:28,020 He'd dig his heels in, then I'd get angry and stomp away like some irate 27 00:01:28,020 --> 00:01:28,639 -year -old. 28 00:01:28,640 --> 00:01:30,660 It was even worse with my other brothers. 29 00:01:31,040 --> 00:01:32,640 Hey, some people with the lot. 30 00:01:32,940 --> 00:01:35,000 Cool. I thought you were getting a vegetarian. 31 00:01:35,320 --> 00:01:38,820 Why did you get Ben to ask me what type of pizza I wanted? I asked him to ask if 32 00:01:38,820 --> 00:01:41,460 you wanted one with the lot. That's not what you said. Yeah, it was. No, it 33 00:01:41,460 --> 00:01:44,220 wasn't. If you said that, I would have said no. You asked me what type of pizza 34 00:01:44,220 --> 00:01:45,380 I wanted and I said vegetarian. 35 00:01:45,760 --> 00:01:49,400 No big deal, Bridget. Just eat the pizza. No one asked you. Just take the 36 00:01:49,400 --> 00:01:50,400 bits off and eat the rest. 37 00:01:50,440 --> 00:01:52,800 Yeah, I'll eat the meat bits. But I don't think there'll be hardly anything 38 00:01:52,800 --> 00:01:55,220 left. Why didn't you tell James I said vegetarian? 39 00:01:55,820 --> 00:01:56,820 Forgot. 40 00:01:57,480 --> 00:01:58,480 Well, has there any change? 41 00:01:58,740 --> 00:01:59,880 No, I'll have to go home and get something. 42 00:02:00,100 --> 00:02:01,580 Okay. I know what you're thinking. 43 00:02:01,820 --> 00:02:04,740 I was behaving like a spoiled child, and maybe I was. 44 00:02:05,180 --> 00:02:09,280 But this sort of thing happened all the time. It was like none of my brothers 45 00:02:09,280 --> 00:02:10,479 ever listened to anything. 46 00:02:11,020 --> 00:02:12,020 It drove me nuts. 47 00:02:13,120 --> 00:02:16,660 It was when we were out in the water, though, that the gloves really came off. 48 00:02:16,720 --> 00:02:21,100 We all competed furiously to get the best rides, and no one showed any mercy 49 00:02:21,100 --> 00:02:22,100 whatsoever. 50 00:02:45,980 --> 00:02:48,300 Dropped in? I was on it before you. 51 00:02:49,520 --> 00:02:53,140 Do you think being the one girl amongst three brothers, I'd have been given 52 00:02:53,140 --> 00:02:54,140 special treatment? 53 00:02:54,640 --> 00:02:55,640 Not a chance. 54 00:02:55,840 --> 00:03:00,040 But as far as they were concerned, I was just another surf rat who had to fight 55 00:03:00,040 --> 00:03:01,620 for every wave I could get. 56 00:03:02,620 --> 00:03:03,620 That's how it was. 57 00:03:04,100 --> 00:03:07,680 Every day of every summer, for as long as I can remember. 58 00:03:08,020 --> 00:03:12,160 And at the end of each day, the competition continued, as all four of us 59 00:03:12,160 --> 00:03:14,520 to claim victory for chalking up the day's best ride. 60 00:03:15,500 --> 00:03:19,220 So if we weren't arguing, we were competing. And if we weren't competing, 61 00:03:19,220 --> 00:03:22,800 were arguing. It was like the four of us were constantly at war with each other 62 00:03:22,800 --> 00:03:26,460 until something totally unexpected happened and I got selected to come here 63 00:03:26,460 --> 00:03:27,460 Solar Blue. 64 00:03:29,920 --> 00:03:30,920 Congratulations! 65 00:03:32,460 --> 00:03:39,380 For the first time in my entire life, my three brothers actually seemed to be 66 00:03:39,380 --> 00:03:40,380 happy for me. 67 00:03:40,620 --> 00:03:42,000 I couldn't believe it. 68 00:03:42,400 --> 00:03:43,760 Was this actually them? 69 00:03:45,290 --> 00:03:48,910 Mum put you up to this, didn't she?

My sisters are the same. 83 00:04:23,790 --> 00:04:27,090 Really? Ever since we moved out, we've become so much closer. 84 00:04:27,350 --> 00:04:28,530 They're really nice to me now. 85 00:04:29,430 --> 00:04:30,430 Why is that? 86 00:04:31,890 --> 00:04:34,690 Maybe you've got to get out of each other's hair in order to appreciate one 87 00:04:34,690 --> 00:04:38,950 another. That I can understand, but they actually seem to be telling me that 88 00:04:38,950 --> 00:04:41,810 they like me. Why did they never do that when I was at home? 89 00:04:42,090 --> 00:04:43,570 Well, did you tell them you liked them? 90 00:04:43,830 --> 00:04:44,830 Probably not. 91 00:04:44,919 --> 00:04:48,600 Probably.

That's the idea. 192 00:09:32,720 --> 00:09:33,800 Mind if I ask why? 193 00:09:34,060 --> 00:09:35,740 It'll all become clear soon enough. 194 00:09:36,060 --> 00:09:37,060 Thought you might say that. 195 00:09:48,480 --> 00:09:50,200 Your turn. You want me to do that? 196 00:09:50,550 --> 00:09:52,230 Just treat it like a surfboard. Simple. 197 00:09:53,310 --> 00:09:54,310 Okay. 198 00:10:06,290 --> 00:10:07,290 Easy enough. 199 00:10:07,670 --> 00:10:09,110 All right, now let's try a few surf moves. 200 00:10:09,450 --> 00:10:12,630 Like? Like. Just ride it exactly like you would out on the wave. 201 00:10:27,500 --> 00:10:31,200 Got it? How do I stop if I lose it? You won't. What if I do? 202 00:10:31,520 --> 00:10:32,520 You won't. 203 00:10:33,120 --> 00:10:34,120 Thanks a lot. 204 00:10:42,540 --> 00:10:42,940 Like 205 00:10:42,940 --> 00:10:51,180 you 206 00:10:51,180 --> 00:10:53,560 were born on it. Alright, so now we've established that. 207 00:10:53,960 --> 00:10:55,140 Do you mind telling me why we're here? 208 00:10:55,360 --> 00:10:58,220 Do you know a new housing estate around here called Cherry Hill? Yeah, what 209 00:10:58,220 --> 00:11:00,260 about it? That's why we're doing this. Sorry? 210 00:11:00,540 --> 00:11:01,540 Let's go stuff it out. 211 00:11:05,320 --> 00:11:09,200 By the time we skated down Cherry Hill, I'd forgotten all about thrilling James 212 00:11:09,200 --> 00:11:10,240 and why he was here. 213 00:11:10,520 --> 00:11:13,980 As soon as we got on those boards, it was like a red rag to a bull. 214 00:11:15,400 --> 00:11:18,780 Suddenly, I was back home again, with a brother to compete against. 215 00:11:19,080 --> 00:11:22,620 And there was no way that I was going to let him be better at this than me. 216 00:11:23,040 --> 00:11:24,960 no matter how much of a head start he had. 217 00:11:57,870 --> 00:12:01,490 Little sister, you actually tried to take me on, didn't you? Of course. And 218 00:12:01,490 --> 00:12:04,410 were expecting me to, weren't you? Coming south of the border hasn't made 219 00:12:04,410 --> 00:12:05,410 any less smart, has it? 220 00:12:05,730 --> 00:12:09,110 So, now do you want to tell me what this is all about and what you're really 221 00:12:09,110 --> 00:12:09,829 doing here? 222 00:12:09,830 --> 00:12:13,070 A few of the first clubs along the east coast have decided to have a bit of fun 223 00:12:13,070 --> 00:12:14,970 and organise a fundraiser at the same time. 224 00:12:15,770 --> 00:12:20,390 So, we've held a few race meetings and we've whittled it down to the last four 225 00:12:20,390 --> 00:12:22,010 teams. Using these boards? 226 00:12:22,430 --> 00:12:24,910 Exactly. And you and Ben are one of the finalists? 227 00:12:25,459 --> 00:12:27,880 We were, until he broke his ankle. 228 00:12:28,340 --> 00:12:29,340 Falling off one of these? 229 00:12:29,480 --> 00:12:33,120 Without protective gear on and going way too far, I could have thumped him. Poor 230 00:12:33,120 --> 00:12:35,280 Ben, he must be so angry at missing the final. 231 00:12:35,520 --> 00:12:36,520 And then some. 232 00:12:37,560 --> 00:12:39,020 So, let me guess. 233 00:12:40,480 --> 00:12:44,520 You've come down here to ask me to compete in the finals. 234 00:12:45,180 --> 00:12:46,180 Is it that obvious? 235 00:12:46,520 --> 00:12:48,340 That's what this whole demo's been about, isn't it? 236 00:12:48,730 --> 00:12:50,850 You knew I'd get sucked in and try to compete at your level. 237 00:12:51,070 --> 00:12:54,730 To be honest, I didn't exactly know, but I was kind of hoping. I bet you were. 238 00:12:55,570 --> 00:12:56,529 What do you say? 239 00:12:56,530 --> 00:12:58,190 James, I've been on one of these boards once. 240 00:12:58,430 --> 00:13:01,290 There is no way that I can compete in a final. You can. 241 00:13:01,790 --> 00:13:04,770 You're a top surfer and you're good at skateboarding. A little bit more 242 00:13:04,770 --> 00:13:05,770 and you'll have it nailed. 243 00:13:05,970 --> 00:13:07,370 I don't even know the course. 244 00:13:07,770 --> 00:13:09,030 Yes, you do. You've just done it. 245 00:13:11,910 --> 00:13:12,910 That's the course. 246 00:13:13,530 --> 00:13:14,790 That's why I'm down here. 247 00:13:15,200 --> 00:13:18,920 The Blue Water Beach Club is hosting the event. It's set up perfectly for you. 248 00:13:19,840 --> 00:13:23,880 At this point, any sensible person would have said no way and bailed out 249 00:13:23,880 --> 00:13:27,780 straight away. But James was my brother. For the first time I could ever 250 00:13:27,780 --> 00:13:32,340 remember, he was actually asking me nicely. And, to my surprise, I was 251 00:13:32,340 --> 00:13:35,720 enjoying seeing him again. For all that, though, there were still a couple of 252 00:13:35,720 --> 00:13:37,700 obvious questions that refused to go away. 253 00:13:39,240 --> 00:13:43,120 So, if you and Ben were on the heat, then won't they object if there's 254 00:13:43,120 --> 00:13:44,320 else on your team in the final? 255 00:13:44,900 --> 00:13:48,200 Ben was entered as B Sanchez. B stands for Bridget too. 256 00:13:49,220 --> 00:13:50,240 And they'll buy that? 257 00:13:50,660 --> 00:13:54,320 I checked the rules and as long as there's a B Sanchez, it's legit. 258 00:13:55,620 --> 00:13:57,140 So what do you get if you win? 259 00:13:57,620 --> 00:14:02,440 $5 ,000 to the club of the winner, $2 ,000 to second and a grand to third. 260 00:14:03,100 --> 00:14:04,620 Now I can see why you're keen. 261 00:14:05,200 --> 00:14:07,000 So it's a deal then? You'll do it? 262 00:14:08,500 --> 00:14:10,340 There's just one small problem. 263 00:14:11,280 --> 00:14:15,140 Cheers. I signed a contract with Solar Blue and I can't compete in anything 264 00:14:15,140 --> 00:14:16,140 unless they approve. 265 00:14:16,340 --> 00:14:17,340 You think they'll give you permission? 266 00:14:17,720 --> 00:14:19,080 I guess we'll just have to ask. 267 00:14:19,520 --> 00:14:20,520 No way. 268 00:14:20,720 --> 00:14:22,020 Sorry, Bridget, it's not possible. 269 00:14:22,280 --> 00:14:23,159 Why not? 270 00:14:23,160 --> 00:14:24,760 What if it was your ankle that got broken? 271 00:14:25,050 --> 00:14:28,010 I'll be wearing padding and a helmet. I'm sure that it will be safe. 272 00:14:28,630 --> 00:14:31,510 Unfortunately, our insurance doesn't cover non -surfing competition. 273 00:14:31,950 --> 00:14:35,290 And I've looked at that. I can get a one -off policy for the day that I'm sure 274 00:14:35,290 --> 00:14:37,990 my parents will pay for. Bridget, you've got to think of the worst -case 275 00:14:37,990 --> 00:14:41,430 scenario. I mean, if you injure yourself, it could seriously impact on 276 00:14:41,430 --> 00:14:44,790 of the year. I could just as easily fall and hurt my ankle in a cross -country 277 00:14:44,790 --> 00:14:47,190 run or get hit by my board while we're surfing. 278 00:14:47,690 --> 00:14:50,310 It's no more dangerous than anything we do in normal training. 279 00:14:51,850 --> 00:14:54,980 Look. My brother's out the front. Why don't I get him to throw you? 280 00:15:03,640 --> 00:15:07,360 See, it's really pretty tame, isn't it? These aren't exactly race conditions, 281 00:15:07,440 --> 00:15:10,600 though. And we haven't even seen the actual course yet. Oh, it's easy. 282 00:15:10,820 --> 00:15:12,060 James and I went down it earlier. 283 00:15:12,980 --> 00:15:14,500 You've already skated down the course? 284 00:15:15,000 --> 00:15:18,840 Oh, we have once, and it was really gentle, though. It's really easy. 285 00:15:19,280 --> 00:15:20,280 What do you think? 286 00:15:20,700 --> 00:15:22,000 Nothing much to get worried about, is there? 287 00:15:24,780 --> 00:15:27,520 Why don't I make us some drinks while we discuss this inside? 288 00:15:36,000 --> 00:15:37,200 Come on, pick it up. 289 00:15:37,560 --> 00:15:39,420 Give up, Johnson, you'll be there. 290 00:15:43,020 --> 00:15:46,160 Come on, girls, pick it up for the last ten metres. 291 00:15:47,820 --> 00:15:48,820 Coming in. 292 00:15:51,750 --> 00:15:52,750 It's a dead end. 293 00:15:52,950 --> 00:15:54,850 What? Can't have been that close. 294 00:15:55,190 --> 00:15:56,310 Was from where I'm standing. 295 00:15:56,950 --> 00:15:58,910 You're just too chicken to make a decision. 296 00:15:59,410 --> 00:16:00,530 A little bit of that too. 297 00:16:01,530 --> 00:16:04,450 So are you coming in or what? No, I'm a bit too busy thinking actually. 298 00:16:04,690 --> 00:16:06,350 Tell us another one. 299 00:16:06,810 --> 00:16:10,290 No, but seriously, we have to figure out a way of talking Gary out of giving us 300 00:16:10,290 --> 00:16:11,290 these training runs. 301 00:16:11,450 --> 00:16:14,630 Have you thought of anything yet? I was actually hoping that you guys had. 302 00:16:16,170 --> 00:16:17,730 You are so pathetic. 303 00:16:19,460 --> 00:16:20,960 Here, give us a handout. 304 00:16:21,380 --> 00:16:22,680 Yeah, me too. 305 00:16:23,060 --> 00:16:24,900 What am I, some kind of draft horse? 306 00:16:25,200 --> 00:16:26,200 All right, ready? 307 00:16:26,600 --> 00:16:29,020 One, two, three. 308 00:16:30,580 --> 00:16:34,780 That was so unfair. 309 00:16:36,200 --> 00:16:37,280 Two on one. 310 00:16:37,640 --> 00:16:39,180 Oh, didn't you know? 311 00:16:40,340 --> 00:16:44,220 Cold water helps you think. Let's see how many laps it takes to give you an 312 00:16:44,220 --> 00:16:45,220 idea. 313 00:16:51,069 --> 00:16:54,390 What if we all came down with colds? Gary wouldn't make us run cross -country 314 00:16:54,390 --> 00:16:55,390 we couldn't breathe properly. 315 00:16:55,690 --> 00:16:58,670 It's a bit of a coincidence, all of us getting sick at the same time, though. 316 00:16:58,670 --> 00:17:01,630 we could vary it up a bit. Some of us could have hay fever. Wrong time of the 317 00:17:01,630 --> 00:17:03,630 year. Oh, you're not being overly helpful, Charlie. 318 00:17:04,030 --> 00:17:05,950 Just accept it. We're not going to get out of this. 319 00:17:06,170 --> 00:17:07,170 He's already made his mind up. 320 00:17:08,790 --> 00:17:12,470 Oh, check out these little doozies. Oh, where did they come from? Gary must have 321 00:17:12,470 --> 00:17:13,069 got them. 322 00:17:13,069 --> 00:17:15,589 You know, I've read about this. Apparently you can practice your surfing 323 00:17:15,589 --> 00:17:16,589 on dry land. 324 00:17:16,750 --> 00:17:17,289 Oh, really? 325 00:17:17,290 --> 00:17:20,750 Yeah. Oi, why don't you say we take him out for a quick little tryout? Do you 326 00:17:20,750 --> 00:17:21,589 think we should ask first? 327 00:17:21,589 --> 00:17:24,630 See, the problem with asking is that people won't say no. If we just assume 328 00:17:24,630 --> 00:17:27,569 they're here for our use, then all moral dilemmas are solved instantly. 329 00:17:28,030 --> 00:17:31,530 True. That's sneaky, but true. What are we waiting for? 330 00:17:36,030 --> 00:17:39,230 James went through the whole race procedure step by step. 331 00:17:39,670 --> 00:17:41,530 I have to admit, he was pretty impressive. 332 00:17:42,140 --> 00:17:45,960 By the time he finished, I was sure both Beck and Gary couldn't fail to be 333 00:17:45,960 --> 00:17:48,700 convinced. I'm sorry, James. I'm just not convinced. 334 00:17:49,480 --> 00:17:50,500 Me neither, I'm afraid. 335 00:17:50,860 --> 00:17:51,860 Really? 336 00:17:53,380 --> 00:17:56,740 Look, maybe a couple of the details were a little bit sketchy. 337 00:17:57,100 --> 00:17:59,100 Why don't we go through it one more time? 338 00:18:18,100 --> 00:18:20,100 Let's try for a bit more speed around the corner. 339 00:18:20,440 --> 00:18:21,560 Yup, go for it. 340 00:18:27,640 --> 00:18:28,640 Are you okay? 341 00:18:46,270 --> 00:18:49,310 G'day. Just thought we'd pop in and see the garage sale. 342 00:18:49,970 --> 00:18:50,970 Got some nice stuff. 343 00:18:53,550 --> 00:18:57,090 So it would really help our local surf club if we could get a place in, 344 00:18:57,090 --> 00:18:58,090 it? Yeah, absolutely. 345 00:18:59,010 --> 00:19:00,230 Oh, Beck, I'll get that. 346 00:19:00,450 --> 00:19:01,690 Tell them how much it's worth. 347 00:19:02,170 --> 00:19:03,170 Sure. 348 00:19:04,810 --> 00:19:09,370 Look, James, I appreciate this, but... Is something wrong? 349 00:19:09,650 --> 00:19:11,790 All right, Beck, there is no rave. What? 350 00:19:13,070 --> 00:19:14,430 Mum's birthday's coming up. 351 00:19:14,650 --> 00:19:17,890 And we know the best surprise she'd want would be a get -together with the whole 352 00:19:17,890 --> 00:19:18,890 family. Yes. 353 00:19:19,410 --> 00:19:22,170 But she'd never come down because she doesn't want to disrupt Bridget's 354 00:19:22,170 --> 00:19:24,530 training, so we made up the idea of this race. 355 00:19:25,310 --> 00:19:27,550 Which your mum thinks she's coming down to see. 356 00:19:27,870 --> 00:19:30,530 Exactly, but she thinks it's me and my brother, not me and Bridget. 357 00:19:30,910 --> 00:19:33,450 But hang on, isn't your brother at home with a broken ankle? 358 00:19:33,710 --> 00:19:35,330 No, he's in the motel here watching TV. 359 00:19:35,650 --> 00:19:38,170 Well, why not tell Bridget? Why keep her in the dark? 360 00:19:38,410 --> 00:19:39,810 Because we wanted to make it a double surprise. 361 00:19:40,250 --> 00:19:41,250 Hang on. 362 00:19:41,290 --> 00:19:42,290 Let me get this straight. 363 00:19:43,050 --> 00:19:46,390 Your mum thinks she's coming down to see a race with you and your brother. 364 00:19:47,270 --> 00:19:50,210 Bridget thinks she's going to be in a race if we agree to it. 365 00:19:50,810 --> 00:19:53,270 But she doesn't know your mum's coming down. Right. 366 00:19:53,470 --> 00:19:55,970 Oh, this is extremely confusing. 367 00:19:56,430 --> 00:20:00,250 Not to mention very complicated. We had to make it this complicated in order to 368 00:20:00,250 --> 00:20:01,250 keep them both fooled. 369 00:20:02,290 --> 00:20:03,290 Right, I see. 370 00:20:03,430 --> 00:20:04,430 I don't. 371 00:20:04,590 --> 00:20:06,690 But at least I know what's going on now. 372 00:20:07,530 --> 00:20:08,369 Kind of. 373 00:20:08,370 --> 00:20:11,270 Sorry, I was going to tell you in your office this morning, but... 374 00:20:11,740 --> 00:20:13,200 You called Bridget in before I could. 375 00:20:13,400 --> 00:20:16,300 I've been on the back foot ever since, making it up as I go. 376 00:20:16,620 --> 00:20:18,020 Well, you're doing a very good job. 377 00:20:18,880 --> 00:20:19,880 Uh, Beck? 378 00:20:20,900 --> 00:20:22,820 We may need to go for a little walk. 379 00:20:23,120 --> 00:20:24,120 Where? 380 00:20:24,320 --> 00:20:26,200 Down the road a bit. What's the problem? 381 00:20:27,140 --> 00:20:30,600 Seems Guy and Charlie have decided to drop in on one of the neighbours using 382 00:20:30,600 --> 00:20:31,600 James's board. 383 00:20:32,560 --> 00:20:36,540 I am so sorry, Mr Silver, and I can't tell you how happy I am that nothing was 384 00:20:36,540 --> 00:20:38,560 broken. These two were extremely irresponsible. 385 00:20:39,120 --> 00:20:40,740 They could have been very seriously hurt. 386 00:20:41,050 --> 00:20:42,090 Yes, you're absolutely right. 387 00:20:42,370 --> 00:20:43,950 And you're very lucky I didn't call the police. 388 00:20:46,490 --> 00:20:48,850 Far out. That's what I call a major accident. 389 00:20:49,270 --> 00:20:50,270 Maybe we should help them. 390 00:20:51,830 --> 00:20:53,010 I knew you'd say that. 391 00:20:54,990 --> 00:20:57,410 What happened to the boards? You didn't smash them, did you? 392 00:20:57,830 --> 00:21:00,450 Well, he... No, I confiscated them. What? 393 00:21:00,850 --> 00:21:02,970 These two need to be taught a very strong lesson. 394 00:21:03,350 --> 00:21:05,470 They can't just go taking over the road illegally. 395 00:21:05,770 --> 00:21:08,090 But the boards don't belong to them. What about the comm? 396 00:21:09,570 --> 00:21:10,670 Well... It's all right, Bridget. 397 00:21:11,050 --> 00:21:14,270 I think we can suggest an idea here. Can't we, Beck? Yes. 398 00:21:14,690 --> 00:21:15,690 Yes, we can. 399 00:21:16,110 --> 00:21:20,090 Mr De Silva, the boys don't actually own the boards. They belong to James here, 400 00:21:20,130 --> 00:21:23,350 who in no way whatsoever gave permission for these two to use them. 401 00:21:23,590 --> 00:21:27,170 That's right. And if you confiscate the boards, you'll actually be punishing the 402 00:21:27,170 --> 00:21:27,889 wrong person. 403 00:21:27,890 --> 00:21:30,970 But the boys have to understand the seriousness of their actions. Couldn't 404 00:21:30,970 --> 00:21:34,350 more. Which is why I've been looking very closely at your garden. My garden? 405 00:21:34,510 --> 00:21:38,050 Yeah. Well, it's nice to know that from now on it's going to be weeded, trimmed, 406 00:21:38,310 --> 00:21:40,210 lawns mowed, once a week. 407 00:21:40,730 --> 00:21:41,730 For three months. 408 00:21:42,590 --> 00:21:43,850 You can guarantee that? 409 00:21:44,250 --> 00:21:45,250 Oh, we can guarantee. 410 00:21:46,130 --> 00:21:47,130 Can't we, boys? 411 00:21:47,970 --> 00:21:48,970 Yeah, I guess we can. 412 00:21:50,730 --> 00:21:51,730 Can't wait to get started. 413 00:22:03,490 --> 00:22:06,030 Where's all the other competitors? I would have thought they'd be here by 414 00:22:06,350 --> 00:22:07,049 They're here. 415 00:22:07,050 --> 00:22:08,210 They're keeping all their profile. 416 00:22:11,690 --> 00:22:15,790 As the two skaters came down the hill, there was something about the way they 417 00:22:15,790 --> 00:22:17,390 moved that seemed vaguely familiar. 418 00:22:17,750 --> 00:22:19,290 James, what's going on? Who are these two? 419 00:22:22,330 --> 00:22:24,610 Don't you recognise your own brother's styles when you see them? 420 00:22:25,150 --> 00:22:26,150 Brothers? 421 00:22:33,490 --> 00:22:35,070 I don't believe it. Hey, sis. 422 00:22:35,450 --> 00:22:36,409 Hey, Bridget. 423 00:22:36,410 --> 00:22:37,870 You're meant to have a broken ankle. 424 00:22:38,230 --> 00:22:41,050 Don't believe everything he tells you. Yeah, we thought you knew that by now. 425 00:22:41,580 --> 00:22:43,840 Enough of all that. Here comes the guest of honour. 426 00:22:55,360 --> 00:22:56,400 Richard? Mum? 427 00:22:57,120 --> 00:22:59,540 What are you doing here? I thought you were at Blue Water Beach. 428 00:23:00,280 --> 00:23:01,540 This is Blue Water Beach. 429 00:23:02,020 --> 00:23:04,220 You said we were 100 kilometres from Blue Water Beach. 430 00:23:04,920 --> 00:23:06,180 Looks like I got it wrong. 431 00:23:06,620 --> 00:23:07,620 Surprise! 432 00:23:17,100 --> 00:23:18,100 We got you good. 433 00:23:21,100 --> 00:23:26,620 A year ago, if you'd asked me whether my brothers would ever go to so much 434 00:23:26,620 --> 00:23:28,920 trouble for me and Mum, I would have laughed out loud. 435 00:23:29,200 --> 00:23:32,160 Now the joke was on me, but I was happy that it was. 436 00:23:32,560 --> 00:23:36,560 How is it that simply being away from each other for six months could lead to 437 00:23:36,560 --> 00:23:37,640 such a huge change? 438 00:23:38,420 --> 00:23:42,900 Even after all this time apart, though, the four of us soon found a way to get 439 00:23:42,900 --> 00:23:45,100 back into instant competition with each other. 440 00:23:46,600 --> 00:23:47,600 Hey. 441 00:23:50,460 --> 00:23:51,460 Here we go. 442 00:23:55,320 --> 00:23:57,060 Into the water and the fool's out. 443 00:23:57,420 --> 00:24:01,400 That was not out. It was. It was not. It landed there. It went in. 444 00:24:01,620 --> 00:24:02,620 You couldn't even see. 445 00:24:02,940 --> 00:24:05,920 You were not. It did not hit the water on the fool. The fool. 446 00:24:07,160 --> 00:24:09,940 Whoever gets it gets to bat. 447 00:24:10,500 --> 00:24:11,500 You're not batting. 448 00:24:11,720 --> 00:24:15,100 All those warm and fuzzy feelings I've recently had about my brothers. 449 00:24:15,630 --> 00:24:18,970 Soon went out the window once we started playing the game together. Just when 450 00:24:18,970 --> 00:24:22,510 you think everything's changed, you realize it's actually stayed the same. 451 00:24:22,830 --> 00:24:23,850 I got it! I win! 452 00:24:24,590 --> 00:24:28,310 In a funny sort of way, though, there's something kind of nice about that.
