Forgetting Sarah Marshall Page #4

Synopsis: Peter is a composer and a likable sad sack who's devastated when his girlfriend of five years, Sarah Marshall, the star of a cheesy CSI-style crime show, dumps him. He weeps, he rails, he mopes. Finally, his step-brother Brian suggests Hawaii, so Peter heads for a resort on Oahu where, as he's checking in, he sees Sarah and her new beau, Aldous, a polymorphously perverse English rocker. The weeping and moping start again, until Peter is rescued by Rachel, a thoughtful hotel clerk who invites him to a luau and to hang out. Although he constantly runs into Sarah and Aldous, Peter starts to come alive again. Will Sarah realize what she's lost, and what about Rachel?

Thank you.

- Take it easy.- You, too.

- Hi.- Hi.

This is the yoga place, yeah?

Yes. But there's no alcohol allowedin the studio.

Oh, no, I mean, obviously.This is just pineapple juice.

Well, there's no outside drinksallowed in the studio.

- Can I set it down?- Sure.

- Cool, thank you.- I like your hat.

- Thank you.- Please remove it before class.

Hey, everyone,why don't you all grab your mats?

Sorry, I recognise you from the coverof Namaste Magazine. I'm a huge fan.

Thank you. That's so sweet of you to say.

I appreciate that.Obviously, I don't do yoga for recognition.

Right, of course you wouldn't.Then stop being so good at it.

That's very flexible. That's nice.

- And, you, I recognise you from your show.- Thank you.

You seem much taller on your show.

- I'm not.- No, I know.

Okay, if you just wanna startby bringing your palms into your chest.

Today we're gonna start withthe Surya Namaskar, or Sun Salutation.

Let's take a deep inale in.

Exhale and release the hands.

Inale, arms up to the sky. Continue.

Good, exhale and folding forward.

Strong, strong backs. Good, excellent.

Remember this is not a competition,

although you two seemto be the best in the class.

Excellent. Perfect form, you two, perfect.

Coming up into downward-facing dog.

Good. It's really important in this pose,

that you arch your backand keep it flat at the same time.

I feel like those are opposing ideas.

No, they're not, 'cause you're archingyour back up while it's flat.

Okay.

Good, yeah, sweat it out.Sweat out all the toxins from this morning.

- Come on, lady.- My name is Prana,

and I know that wasn't just juice.

You don't really need any adjusting,so I'm just gonna do this for myself.

Just to learn from your body,

memorize your body.

- Good. Strong legs.- Come on.

Perfect skin and form.

Okay, class, I'd like to nowmove into a tripod headstand.

This is more of an advanced pose,

so if you don't feel comfortableor strong enough,

please feel free to just lay on your matin child's pose.

I got it.

All right, so let's all come down to our mats.

Get in a prep positionfor the tripod headstand.

If you don't feel comfortable,

there's no shamein just laying on your mat in child's pose.

Lady, I got it.

Good, so let's prep to come up. Good.

Sir, if you just want to lay downin child's pose.

Now, you all heard me say,

"If you want to be in child's pose,that's okay. "

- Just in case he gets hurt.- Bring it, bring it.

I don't want you to break your neck.

- What's up?- Just relax.

My legs, that's what.

We're doing quiet headstands today.

I'm doing a handstand, motherf***er!I'm doing a handstand.

Okay, you know, why don't we just release.

Thank God.

Good, everybody. Good.

Hey.

Are you Chuck?

Oh, man, you know,they won't change that flyer.

That's my mainland name.My Hawaiian name is Koonu.

Cool, sorry.

No, it's all good.

Does Koonu have some, like,cool Hawaiian meaning?

It means Chuck.

I plugged it into a database.

There's a thing you can go on,on the Internet, you just type in your name,

and it just says it.

What's your name?

- I'm Peter.- Peter.

- Yeah.- I'm gonna give you a Hawaiian name.

Oh, great.

Pepiopi.

- Great.- Pepiopi, looks like you've got a little pain

behind those eyes.

Yeah, maybe a little.

There's really only one cure for that.

What's that?

Weed. You got any?

- No.- Well, then let's go surfing.

Okay, when we're out there,I want you to ignore your instincts.

I'm gonna be your instincts.Koonu will be your instincts.

Don't do anything.

Don't try to surf, don't do it.

The less you do, the more you do.

Let's see you pop up. Pop it up!

That's not it at all.

Do less. Get down. Try less. Do it again.

Pop up.

No, too slow. Do less.

Pop up now.

Stop! Get down. Get down there.

Remember, don't do anything.

'cause you're just laying right out.

It looks like you're boogie-boarding.

Just do it. Feel it. Pop up.

Yeah. That wasn't quite it,but we're gonna figure it out, out there.

Let's go surfing, come on.

Everybody's learning how, come on and...

The weather outside is weather

How long you lived out here?

Man, I don't know. I quit wearing a watchwhen I moved out here.

- Wow, that's so cool.- Yeah.

No, like my cell phone has a clock on it,so I don't really need it.

Right, so it's basically the same thing.

- How old are you?- I don't really believe in age or numbers,

you know, I don't...I mean, if you had to put a number on it,

I guess I'd be 44.

F***!

Thanks for taking me out here.

This is the first time I've felt goodin three weeks or so.

You need to get back on that boardis what you need to do.

- Yeah?- Hey, here's the deal.

When life gives you lemons,

just say, "F*** the lemons," and bail.

Yeah. No. You said it, totally.

You gotta just pull yourself upby your wetsuit,

get back on that board...

Hey, look, man,if you're attacked by a shark,

are you gonna give up surfing?

Probably, yeah.

Let's go in, all right. Tacos are on me.

Can you try to listento what I'm saying to you, Brian?

I'm confused and I don't know what to do.

What's up with that hat?

What are youin the Buena Vista Social Club?

This is a nice hat.

What member of the Brat Pack are you?

You look like one of those guyssuspected of killing JFK.

That's very funny. That's great.

Tell him to make friends.

You need to get out thereand make some friends, man.

Is Liz there right now?

No, no, she's not in here, buddy.

I just heard her.

She's gone.

What?

Is she still... Hi, Liz.

No. I swear on my mother's grave, it...Okay, it was Liz.

She wasn't here the entire time.

Go out and meet people.We meet people all the time...

- All the time on vacation.- Constantly.

I've tried, all right,there's a couple of dudes here,

but they're kind of weird.

Just be friendly.

Iron your shirt.

Iron your shirt, look sharp.

Even your T-shirts.

There is this girl at the front deskwho's pretty cute.

Oh, yeah. You know what?Go have another dirty one night stand.

That worked out so well before.

What do you want from me?You just told me I need to meet people.

Ask her out.Maybe that's what he needs, is a rebound.

He's had plenty of chancesfor rebounds. This isn't...

Can we get on the same team here?

Okay, I'm sorry.We're on the same team. Sorry.

You should go on a date with this girl.

Well, maybe I'll ask her out then.

- Yes.- My wife says so.

- Hey, I'm in Hawaii, too!Oh, that's neat.
