...especially if

we're not selling.

I've been wanting

to bust this out...

...since I got back

from Indonesia.

And on the eighth day,

God created this java lava.

Stickiest hash

this side of Lebanon.

Ooh.

Are you serious?

You brought hash back

from indo on a plane?

Sure did, officer.

It was too far to paddle.

Who's got a light?

Oh, it is on.

And it was in that moment, man,...

...that I realized

the past is behind you.

And in front of you

where that wave stretches

all the way out,

that's the future, man.

Righteous, huh?

Hey.

I've got no idea

what I'm looking at.

Oh, it's all bullshit, really.

Basically it means we're never

going to make ends meet...

...working out of a backyard shed.

To really make it work,...

...we need what they call

the economies of scale.

You like that?

Read it in the paper.

It's just a fancy way of saying, the more

boards we make, the cheaper they are.

So we either expand or we fold.

There's no in between.

I don't suppose you got a rich

Uncle you can sponge off?

I don't even

have a poor one, mate.

All right, enough business.

I'm getting a drink.

- You want one, Percy?

- Oh, thanks, love.

Whoo!

Hello. What do we got

here, sweetheart?

Take a good look, boys. Might be

the closest you get for a while.

I don't know.

Keep talking like that

and I might take a closer look

before the night's through.

What do you say?

Sweetheart, I wouldn't

f*** you with his dick.

Oi.

Oi!

Come here, you skank!

Andy!

Andy, watch out!

Get off, you animal!

- Ahh! F***!

- Jimmy, watch out!

Ah!

Stop it!

- Come on, mate! Come on, surfer boy!

- Stop it!

Come on, wax head!

- Hey! Hey!

- Stop it!

You know, I think that's

just about enough of that.

Hey!

It's got two barrels

for a reason, brother.

Small town, Andy.

Let's go, boys!

- You all right?

- Yeah.

Have a good night, wax heads!

- I'm good, man.

- That's right, everybody.

Peace.

Whoo!

My pocket don't drive...

Lani?

Lani?

My mother treats me slow

my statue's got

a concrete heart...

Lani, what the hell

are you doing?

Are you--

are you kidding me?

I had that totally

under control.

How was I supposed to know?

I had a life

before I came here, Andy.

- I told you that.

- Okay.

I've dealt with that type

of d*ckhead all my life.

- All right.

- I don't need you or anyone else...

- ...trying to look out for me, all right?

- All right.

- Look at your face.

- Take it easy.

- Big tough guy, coming to my rescue.

- Ow!

- I get it.

- Bunch of cavemen.

I'll still have to thank him

next time I see him.

- Yeah, for what?

- Ow.

Hey, look what I found.

- Hey.

- What's all this?

Check it out.

My cousin's from torquay.

And he reckons it lets him

see right inside the wave.

It's radical, huh?

You want first go?

Maybe later.

It's all the more for us, mate.

Ha!

You can have first go.

Okay, cool.

Hey, gussy,

don't worry about him.

Ha.

delightful rain

and the whirling wind

blows it's song

around the bay

and the whirling wind

knows my name.

Makaha.

Makaha.

What?

What?

It's a place, you idiot.

It's where I grew up.

I can see why you left.

Looks awful.

It does okay.

You miss it?

Not right this second.

- - Lani?

Yeah?

Quick surf before breaky?

Uh, yeah yeah.

I'll be right out.

- Good.

Perce?

Absolutely not, mate.

Nah.

Your payout's meant to support

you in your retirement,...

...not invest in

the f***ing surf business.

It's not for you to say.

I mean, all that stuff about economies

and scales and what have you.

Who knows?

You might be on to something.

Percy, the bank took one look and

laughed us out to the street, mate.

I think they know a little more

about smart investing than you do.

I've been around the block.

I know a good thing

when I see it.

I've even found

the perfect place.

Ah!

Oh.

Ha!

Crafty old bugger.

Oh, great, fellas.

Thanks.

Just put it here.

Oh, hey.

Hold on, hold on.

Mass production, here we come.

Oh, relax, comrade. It's a sewing

machine, not a conveyor belt.

Check it out!

Fancy.

- Know how to work it?

- No idea.

Mr. grumley?

Great day, eh?

Uh, yes, lovely.

Thanks, Andrew.

Hey, thanks for suggesting

the name.

It works perfect, eh?

Hey, grumley!

You ning nong!

Looking good, Jim!

Aw, Jim, that's beautiful.

- Hey, get a photo, will you, love?

- Ah.

Come on, let's have a photo.

This is either the start

of something cool,...

...or the beginning of the end.

- Oh, for God's sake, get in the photo.

- Go go go go!

Cheese!

Hey!

All right, before you go, I think

this is a good opportunity for me...

...to give the rousing speech

you're all expecting.

- Here we go.

- None of you will be surprised to hear...

...that I don't know the first

thing about running a business.

I thought they were generous letting

you finish secondary school.

Thank you, mom. Smile for

the camera, over here.

Still, I reckon we've got

to have some rules.

- Right, Jim?

- What are we, girl guides?

When there's surf, we surf...

...and when it's flat, we work.

And guess what?

They want to get my

they want to get my

gold on the ceiling

I ain't blind

it's just a matter of time

before you steal it

it's all right

ain't no guard

in my house...

Yeah!

Thanks.

Hey, uh...

Everything all right

with Jimmy?

- Yeah, why?

- I don't know.

He's just acting

a little weird.

Aw, he's fine.

You, on the other hand--

I'm gonna need you to work back

late tonight, miss kealoha.

Of course.

Anything pressing, Mr. Kelly?

I'm sure I could

think of something.

Hey, mom, are you back here?

Tony hemsley, you should

be ashamed of yourself.

- You all right?

- Yeah yeah yeah, I'm fine.

- You sure?

- Yeah yeah yeah. What is this about?

No idea.

I think you do, son. The whole

town knows what you lot are into.

What I'm into?

This is bullshit.

You got nothing better to do

than hassle innocent people?

- Andrew?

- I didn't know surfing was a crime just yet.

It's not about the surfing,

young cock.

- Andrew!

- Mom!

A little bird told me about the

other business you're into.

What other business?

Come on, mate.

I've had an eye on your hippie mates

ever since they moved to town.

And now that you lot

are all so cozy,

I'm gonna keep an eye

on you lot too.

Got it?

Good.

So now I've got cops asking questions

about drugs in my factory.

- Huh?

- Just breathe easy.

Center your chi.

Eh, f*** your chi.

Relax.

They got nothing on me.

They got nothing on you.

- They know about the drugs.

- They don't know sh*t.

Small-town cops.

Just be cool...

...and they'll get bored

and go away.

And what if they don't? You get to pack

your bags up, you sail on out of here.

We live here.

- So?

- So.

So you threaten that,

you threaten me, man.

You got that?

Yeah.

Andy?

In through your nose...

...and out through

your mouth.

- - I don't do credit, man.

Never have.

Mate, it's for Tina, but.

She's cool, right?

- Tina?

- Yeah.

Why ain't she here begging
