Blue Crush 2 Page #3

One of my waiters just quit.

Maybe Pushy can show you the ropes here.

Sound good? Sounds good.

(GIRLS GIGGLING)

All right.

Spare set. (TRUCK BEEPS)

Always be prepared.

It's a Land Rover.

You drive it hard, you put it away wet.

We can do that.

Thanks, Grant. You sure you

don't want to come with us?

Nah. We can go for a spin later,

perhaps, when you get back.

Midnight, maybe. Just you and me.

DANA:
You're not that lucky.

Here you go. Document your odyssey properly.

Tim, where did you find a Polaroid camera?

Junk shop in Durban. Dug up some film as well.

That is so sweet of you.

I got one more thing.

(EXCLAIMS)

Tim, this is amazing.

Do you know how few people can fix a board like this?

GRANT:
Aw!

You fixed her board, dude, and you just got cheek.

Be careful.

Tara may be half-joking,

but there's a lot of bad things

that can happen out there.

You have a long highway ahead of you.

(SINGING) Life is a highway

Thank you.

(SINGING) I wanna ride it All night long

(SONG PLAYING ON STEREO) ALL: Life is a highway

I wanna ride it all night long

Yeah!

If you're goin' my way

I wanna drive it all night long

"And I reached it just as dawn broke,

my favorite time of the day.

"Difficult to find, almost impossible to leave."

That is some poetic sh*t.

I mean, that's deep.

Think so?

Sounds like she was a first-rate mom.

She was.

At least I think she was.

I mean, I know she was a free spirit.

Sh*t, all I know is what's in that book.

In the memorable words of my

dad, "I barely even knew her."

You know, I bet you are a lot like her.

I hope so.

I live every day with the fear that I'll never know.

(SLOW SONG PLAYING)

Yes. I can see it.

See what?

There it is!

(UPBEAT SONG PLAYING)

It's a Land Rover.

Like Grant said, you drive it hard and put it away wet.

Whoo!

Yeah!

(INCREASING VOLUME)

(BOTH PANTING)

PUSHY:
Hello.

Well, that was rude.

(REGGAE MUSIC PLAYING)

Looks pretty free-spirited to me.

(PEOPLE CHEERING)

MAN:
Yeah.

Dana and Pushy's odyssey, step one, complete.

Put it away wet.

Hey, man, put it away wet.

Hole in the Wall.

Done.

Cha-ching, baby.

Don't count your pennies just yet.

The rule around here is the new girl cleans the toilet.

Oh, come on.

Relax, it's not so bad.

Except when some oke barks the dog

after too many klippies and coke.

A what? You know, parks a tiger.

Blows chunks.

Oh! Gross.

And by the way,

just in case you were wondering

what's in this odyssey for me...

I was waiting for this.

In exchange for being your trusty guide,

you will teach me how to pull off your 360 floater.

You're gonna try out for the Roxy team again?

You are not the only girl on a mission.

Hell, yeah. Here.

ON RADIO:
This is Spike from Wakescape

with your swell update.

That frothy low that's been spinning off Antarctica

has intensified over the last 24 hours.

If it keeps spinning like that,

we're due for a macking southerly groundswell

to hit the East Coast, so you guys

in J-bay better start waxing up.

And now back to music... You hear that, Flash?

(DISTORTED MUSIC PLAYING) J-bay

is gonna be all time, bro.

Screwdriver.

Thank you. Fix the radio, man?

(POP SONG PLAYING)

(MAN EXCLAIMING)

Walk this way. Straight. On foot only.

Thank you.

Long way in, hey?

Uh... Pushy?

I guess we should step aside.

Yeah, seems wise.

Your mom went to some pretty far-out places.

Yeah, like Beverly Hills.

You know, maybe that old guy was yanking our chain.

Or maybe he wasn't.

This is why surfers invent words.

Invent words?

You know, like "gnarly" or "stoked."

Huh!

So, what do we do, just jump in?

Sure, you go first.

(BOTH LAUGH)

(UPBEAT SONG PLAYING)

DANA:
Okay, the aerial 360. Watch and learn.

Go for it, Push! Come on!

You're good. Try again!

DANA:
Look, because you ride goofy you

have to nail this on your backhand.

It's a lot harder, Push.

PUSHY:
No kidding.

You're gonna go down, round and up.

(BOTH SCREAMING)

ON PA:
From the flight deck this is Captain Glen Ross.

We're beginning our final descent into Durban.

Please fasten your seat belts,

we'll be landing in 10 minutes.

(SOFT SONG PLAYING)

Mango smoothie, easy on the ice, Push.

(SCOFFS)

Look. Dana, I think we just got off on the wrong foot.

Mmm-hmm.

'Cause believe it or not, I'm kind of rooting for you.

What, like you were rooting for

Pushy to join the Roxy team?

She told you I sabotaged her?

Yeah, that's bullshit. The truth is,

(LOUDLY) she surfed like crap.

I was there. She was out of shape and unprepared.

Come on, you know it takes hard work

and commitment to be on a team.

Some people have it, some people don't.

I think you might have it, Dana. Might.

There's an open tryout in Jeffrey's Bay next Saturday.

And since you're headed that way anyway...

Yeah, it's not my scene, Tara.

But Pushy will be there.

Sweet. So will I. Good.

That's for you, Push. Don't work too hard.

(COIN FALLS)

Even if I do make it to J-bay,

she'll never let me make the team.

Well, maybe that decision's up to you and not her.

(SIGHS)

What?

Hey.

Who was that? Who?

The guy in the truck.

Just some oke asking about the surf here.

(LAUGHS) He didn't even have a stick.

So, you don't know him?

Nah. Never seen him before.

Mmm.

Pushy,

I think I just saw the guy who stole my stuff.

What? You sure? You only saw him once.

Pushy, I need to get my mom's stuff back.

What's so important about this stuff anyway?

I mean, I know it was your mom's, but...

It just... It just is.

Tell you what. Shift's almost over.

Go home. I'll cover for you.

Thanks, Push.

Tim.

Hey.

How's the odyssey coming? It's coming.

Yeah? Yeah. I'm just waiting on the water now.

Yeah, I'm tracking that for you.

You still got a couple of days

before the big swell comes.

Thanks. No problem.

(SNIFFS)

What?

Is it me, or do you smell like an elephant?

Hey! Elephants don't smell.

That's pure man-sweat you're taking in. (EXCLAIMING)

So, you had a long day at the reserve, I smell.

Long but good.

You wanna see some pictures while I get cleaned up?

Sure. Yeah?

(SHOWER RUNNING)

(SHOWER TURNS OFF)

TIM:
See the way they take care of one another?

Looking after the old ones, sick ones, young ones.

I heard they even mourn when one of them dies.

Yeah, yeah, I've seen that. Unfortunately.

You lost one?

Rare, but we do have some poachers around here.

Sh*t.

Gotta hand it to 'em, though.

After they mourn they just close ranks,

the family reorders itself and they just move on.

Is that why you're drawn to them?

What do you mean?

You know, the family thing.

Kind of like what you've created here.

Huh.

Well, aren't you a smart girl.

Mmm.

Not so smart.

I'm probably the last person you should be listening to.

Hey, where are you going?

You're not the only one that has to shower.

Got a hot date tonight.

I'm going dancing with Pushy.

Hey, let me know about that swell.

(MAN CHATTERING ON PA)

First time in Durban, sir?

Well, first time in about 20 years.
