Man oh man,

look at those waves, Luke

I'm thinkin' today's the day.

Today's the day for what?

You know what

I'm talkin' about.

You're gonna get in

the water today, Case?

Oh, I'm gonna get in the water.

Today?

Today!

I'm gonna get up on

that board today.

You're telling me you're

gonna get in the water

after all this time?

It's been since junior high

you haven't done it yet.

You're right,

I haven't done it yet,

but I'm gonna do it today.

What's so special

about today then?

You wanna know what's

special about today?

I had my Crunch-berries

this morning,

so I'm feelin' good.

Waves were awesome

this morning, bro.

Dude, you are insane.

What do I have to do

to get you in the water?

Uh, drain the ocean.

Right, right.

I'm serious.

I can't believe we're

almost done with school.

Done?

Uh, hello, we still have like

another four more years to go.

What, college?

College.

Dude, I don't even want

to think about college.

I just want to surf.

Oh man.

That's all I ever think about.

I gotta figure out away

to get sponsored.

You'll do it, man.

You're like the best

surfer I know.

Case, I'm the only

surfer you know.

Gonna be so late to math class.

Ready for that test, man?

Um, we'll see.

Hey honey.

Hey.

How's the case going?

It's goin...

Oh hey, don't forget about

dinner tonight with Luke.

It's time to pin him down

on that college thing.

Right.

Love you.

Love you, too.

Oh, dude, I totally bombed

that math test, man.

Man, maybe you should

skip college.

That was like, the easiest

math test we've had all year.

Yeah right.

Come on, man, adding's easy.

It's the square roots

you gotta worry about.

Whatever.

Yo dude, there she is.

Oh, come on, look,

she dissed the quarterback

of the football team, okay?

She's not gonna want

to date a surf bum.

Hey, who's that guy?

Oh yeah, it's the new

kid in school.

I hear that he

murders the waves.

What are you talking about?

I've never seen him before.

I bet you she totally

shuts him down.

Let's see.

Dude, check it.

Treated, man.

Oh man, he saw us, he saw us.

Dude, that was hilarious.

See? Told you, dude.

She doesn't date football players,

there's no way she's gonna

date a surfer.

We'll see.

Oh, we surf in' after school?

No, man.

I'm bummed, I gotta work.

Cool, cool.

Well, ah, can I hang out

after school?

I mean, my...

my mom's new boyfriend

doesn't exactly like me

hanging around.. weird.

What are you

talkin' about. Case?

It's your house,

Yeah, yeah,

Try telling him that.

Hey, dude, of course, man.

Dude, um, how about

after fifth period?

Yeah, totally man.

Is that cool?

Yeah. Is that the bell?

I got history.

Alright, man.

Stay up, stay up, man.

For sho.

Yo, Lukester, you should let me

take this one out sometime, bro.

First, it would never oat you.

And, Case, you don't

know how to surf.

Well, you've been promising

to teach me since like...

junior high.

Case, you gotta get out

into the water first, man.

Dude, there's sharks

out there and stuff.

Okay, you know, stuff

that could like, kill you.

Right, like, let's say

we're swimming along

like, somewhere exotic,

like in the Caribbeans,

and then I cut my leg

on a coral reef.

Sharks have a very strong

sense of smell,

and then the next thing

you know,

one of them comes up,

rips my leg off.

Case, I think you've watched

Jaws one too many times, man.

It's a great movie,

great movie.

Hey, what time is it?

It's like almost four.

Oh man, I'm late for work, again.

Which reminds me, huh? Huh?

I got you man.

Extra cheese, sausage.

Hey Luke, my board ready?

Um, Kyle, bro, uhh,

I'm late for work.

C'mon, you promised

it'd be ready today.

I know dude, I'm sorry, I am,

but ahh tomorrow, okay?

C'mon, man, you promised.

You're really gonna put

a guilt trip on me, huh?

Yeah, I am.

Alright, one second.

This isn't it, is it?

Whoa.

Huh, you like?

Oh, yeah, it looks perfect.

How much?

Gratis, buddy.

Huh?

Uh, just let me get

a wave some time

you little wave hog.

'Kay.

Wow.

Should let me take

this one out sometime, bro.

Yeah man, I don't think so.

Cool dude, right on.

I gotta go.

Catch ya later, man.

Still no sign of Harris?

Deliveries are getting cold.

Yeah, it does.

Oh man.

Alright hey, I gotta

get back to work, so...

Okay.

Alright.

Don't forget the try outs.

I won't.

Saltwater rotting your brain Luke?

What's in the bag?

You've got six minutes to get Mrs. Winterbottom

her large jalepeno and meatball

or it's coming out of your salary!

Hey Mom.

Where's Dad?

You're late, Luke.

I asked you to be

on time tonight, honey.

Well, where's Dad?

He's later than I am.

This isn't about your father,

this is about you

showing a little respect.

Alright, take it easy,

I'm sorry.

Sorry about what?

Nothin'.

I'm starved.

Well, now that we're all here,

we can say grace first?

Sure.

Dear Lord, thank you

for this food.

Thank you for the time

that we can spend

together as a family.

And please, Bless the time

that we have together

this evening.

In Jesus' name, amen.

Amen.

Oh, amen.

Well, I hope it's not cold

it was hot at seven

when everybody was

supposed to be here.

How's work?

Work's work.

So, any word on colleges yet?

Yeah, deadlines are

comin' up, Luke.

What if I didn't want

to go to college?

What?

You hear this kid?

Did I miss the memo

that you had a choice

in the matter?

Look, what if I just

want to surf for a living?

I'm sorry, is somebody

paying you to surf?

Yeah, exactly.

So surf on your own time,

because your mother and I

have been sacrificing

for years so that you can get

a good education.

Thanks.

Look Luke, we've been

putting up with this
