Drift Page #2

---

- Yes, you are.

- Oh.

Look, I don't know how long

you guys are around for,...

...but if you ever want to check

out some of the local breaks,

I'd be happy

to show youse around.

- Sounds good. Thanks.

- And once you've done the tourist trap,

I'll show you a few spots

even he doesn't know about.

Is that right, superstar?

Yeah, well,

I'd take you too, mate,...

...but it's a bit heavy

for beginners.

Oh, turn it up, mate.

There you go-- it does work.

Okay, uh, there you go.

Thanks, man.

- These all yours?

- Yeah.

Sh*t.

Where haven't you surfed?

Grajagan's.

It's a real fast left-hander.

Sucks real dry,

bowls you real big.

Yeah, only a handful

have ever surfed there.

Yeah, some American cat--

he found it.

Don't know how,

'cause it's right there...

...in the jungles of Indonesia.

Filled with scorpions,

tigers, monkeys,...

...other crazy sh*t.

Wow, sounds like a total

mission just to get there.

Yeah, well, the best ones

usually are, mate.

That's the trip

right there, man.

If God surfed,

that would be his home break.

That is exactly

what she was wearing, man.

Yeah, from the sounds of her,

I'm surprised you even noticed.

Nice one, Gus.

"With sculptured

arms for paddling,...

...velcro neck and snap

fasteners for the cold,...

...it's just for surfers."

That's just for millionaire

surfers, more like it.

Who's got 60 bucks

lying around?

We'll be dead and buried by the

time it makes it down here.

Who cares?

- Hey, mom?

- I'm not here.

Got a sec?

Hey!

Hey!

Check it out!

It's rubberman!

Jeez, aren't you embarrassed?

No.

Why should I be?

He was talking

to your board, mate.

Hey, boys.

Great swell, boys.

You're not going in?

Yeah, it's bloody cold, eh?

- Yeah.

- Freezing, isn't it? Brrr!

Yeah.

Yeah.

Hey!

Hey!

Fair go.

Turn that thing off,

put your feet up, mom.

Nearly done.

"Mark 2."

What do you think?

I might struggle

to squeeze into it.

Mick Harris saw Jimmy's one and

asked if we'd make one for his son.

Well, tell him to make

his own wetsuit.

Said he'd pay $15.

- 15 bucks.

- Mm-hmm.

Well, what are you waiting for?

Sew, woman!

You in there, jimbo?

Jimmy, let's fix this car.

What the hell?

Haven't seen Jimmy,

have you, Ron?

Yeah, he was here

a couple hours ago.

Said he was headed home.

Everything all right?

Yeah.

Yeah, sweet as.

Ah, Jesus! Get back here!

Stop!

What are you doing?!

- What the f*** are you doing?

- Andy.

- Give me a hand, quick!

- F***!

Thanks, man.

You stay away

from my f***in' brother.

Open this bloody door!

Here! Police!

You got to take it all back,...

...leave it outside the cop shop

with a little note...

...saying who it belonged to.

Yeah, right.

Do it or don't bother

coming back.

Percy started working for my

father straight out of school,...

- ...and that was 1920...?

- Two.

'22. Since then, well, he's become

part of the fabric of the place.

So in honor of 50 years

of hard work and dedication,

I'd like to present him with a

small token of our appreciation.

- Well done, Perce.

- All right!

Speech! Give

us a speech, Perce.

Thanks.

- Good on ya.

- Yay! Love you, mate.

Well, that's it, gentlemen.

Back to work. Thank you.

Mrs. Kelly, you look

absolutely fantastic.

I wish my mom dressed like you.

Oh, thanks. You

want some more salad?

Yeah.

Good size flatty.

I'm surprised you had time to go

fishing, considering your busy schedule.

Had to go into town,

drop a bunch of stuff off.

Caught 'em after that.

- Howdy, Gus.

- Yeah, hi, Andy.

- How you goin'?

- Yeah, good.

- What's the occasion?

- Mr. O'Reilly offered me a promotion, didn't he?

Hey, nice one, mate.

- That's unreal.

- Yeah.

More bucks, more hours--

the whole nine yards.

Aw, that's fantastic, love.

When do you start?

Well, I don't.

I told him to shove it.

It's all right.

I've got another plan.

Is it legal?

Yup. It's been staring us

in the face the whole time--

...the whole bloody time.

Rockin' and rollin',

you're still doing it now

15 years today

and you remember how

you're gonna hear it now

blastin' out your radio...

Look at this, will you?

- It's a well-oiled machine.

- Hardly.

Any luck?

Not yet.

Look on the bright side--

...at least we won't have to

buy surf gear ever again.

Hmm!

- How you goin', Greg?

- All right.

- What do you reckon?

- Bit short, aren't they?

That's the idea. That's what

they're doing back east.

- Yeah?

- Yeah, she's a 6'8"-- perfect for a bloke your size.

- How much?

- Aw, 35.

Call it an even 50

with the wetsuit.

Look, mate, you don't like it,

I'll give you your money back,

no questions asked.

And you can keep the wettie.

- You're cocky, aren't you?

- I've ridden it.

All right, you're on.

Good man.

I'll give you a hand.

Looks like we

just beat the rush.

- How are ya?

- Hey, how are ya?

- He's a natural.

- Pleasure doing business.

- Thanks.

- See ya.

See ya.

- See you later, boys.

- See ya, Jim.

Man, you can talk.

Lookin' good, Gus!

Yeah.

- - Be right out.

Aloha.

Oh, hey.

How's it going?

You settling in okay?

You know,

just getting my bearings.

What, all two streets?

- You in the market for a new stick?

- Maybe.

I really just came to see Jimmy's

set-up, see what all the hype's about.

Jimmy's set-up?

Is that right?

C'mon, mate.

I am head shaper.

Well, you're the only shaper,

d*ckhead.

I get him to put the bins out,

sweep up, that kind of thing.

- Keeps him off the streets.

- Don't worry about him.

- Reckons he taught me everything I know.

- I did, mate.

Just not everything I know.

Big difference.

Uh, we're going

to check out the canyons later.

Think it'll handle

the big stuff?

Why don't you borrow it

and find out?

Oh, no, I couldn't do that.

- Wouldn't feel comfortable.

- Why not?

You know your way

around a wave.

Go for it.

You're not going to steal it.

Promise you'll pick it up

whenever you need to?

Scout's honor.

I'll even swing by

and pick it up personally.

- Ha.

- Okay.

Well, I'll let you know

how it goes then.

- Okay.

- Later.

See ya.

"Scout's honor"?

What?

No wonder you're single.

You're kidding me, aren't you? She

couldn't take her eyes off me.

Yeah, she was trying

to work out...

...if you were my brother

or my dad.

Go play, jimbo.

Oi!

Drinks all around!

Dream on, fellas.

- Maybe next time.

- Aww!

So what do you reckon?

Sensible thing would be to put

it back in the mortgage, right?

I don't know.

I guess.

Then next month

we're back to square one.

But if we bought,

say, a planer,...

...made some templates,

- a sander--

- electric sander?

-- Electric sander,

a ton of resin--

- some fiberglass.

- What do you reckon?

Eh? Why not, mate?

Oh, ho ho!

There's a rare sight.

The Kelly gang out on the town.

- Ha. Hi, Jim.

- Miller.

Andrew.

Buy you a beer?

Naw, just leaving, actually.

Oh, f***in' turn it up.

Ron, another beer

for Andrew here.

What's big brother letting

you drink these days, hmm?
