It's a honeymoon job.

Oh, I see.

I've been on a few of those myself.

Gentlemen, would you care

to join me on the bridge?

I got a nip of 12-year-old scotch

I can't wait to break into.

No, sir. We are still on duty.

Although a cup of joe

always seems to calm my nerves.

Of course.

Ray, would you mind making

the officer a cup of coffee?

Oh, no, no. I don't want

to bother your hires.

I know my way around a galley.

Oh, no, no.

Come on, Captain. Tell him.

He wants my cup of coffee.

I mean, anything

for the coastguard.

Christina, would you mind bringing

it up to the bridge when it's ready?

Of course.

Hey.

You. You have mahogany?

That was f***ing crazy, man.

I mean, those sea scouts

were on our f***ing boat.

That's your cut.

It won't bite you.

Sure it won't.

They're biting me!

Come here!

Where were you?

Up, up. Arms up. Arms up.

I leave you for one day.

You kidding me?

It's okay.

Shh. It's okay.

It's okay. Hey, hey.

Shh. Look at me. It's okay.

Two more shots.

He is hung like a f***ing horse.

Hey, how do you feel?

A little nervous.

Good.

Terry, this is my girl, Chris.

Nice to meet you, Girl Chris.

Nice to meet you, Boy Terry.

Well, as a great

fisherman once said,

better is the end of a

thing when it's beginning.

I have no idea what the

f*** you just said.

No one does till

they're at the end.

Mom?

Hey, what's going on?

Sandy didn't show.

Neither did the Captain.

What do you mean didn't show?

They left. They're not coming back.

Hey.

You must be the hired help.

I'm the Big Kahuna,

but my friends call me BK.

Hello?

Ray, what's going on?

I don't know.

Captain grabbed Sandy

late last night

and skipped town.

The boss man's pissed.

So just lay low for a bit.

Yeah. Okay.

What's going on?

Sh*t.

What are you doing up?

You're back.

Go back to bed, baby.

We're still going to the

beach in the morning, right?

Yeah, everything's cool.

Just go back to bed.

Anyway...

Oh, God! You're f***ing crazy!

Not very exciting,

but if I had to pick one,

if it was the last day

on planet Earth,

I'd pick ABBA over the Bee Gee's.

Everybody but you.

Are you kidding me?

They're the hottest sh*t

right now. Really far out.

Like, right now there's no current...

Nobody sounds like that.

Okay, yeah but...

No, but the others are legends.

Innovational. Innovational.

Who's a legend?

You're out of your...

You've lost your mind.

He's a jerk. I hate him.

You don't even know him.

He never says hi. And all he

does is just look at your b*obs.

Would you like to go on

the slide, Mr. Doodles?

Oh, yes. I would love

to go on the slide.

Yeah, I love...

Are you f***ing kidding me, MJ?

MJ!

You get back here!

MJ!

You want to f*** up everything

we got going here?!

Why does it matter?

Because I told you no

one goes in there.

So f***ing what?

So f***ing what?!

So f***ing what?! Who the f***

do you think you are?

Do you understand what

you could have done?

Stop hurting her!

Get off me.

Get out of my room!

Jesus, I hate you!

Get out! Shell, get out!

Now!

I'm leaving.

You think you can stick around,

or are you planning on

prowling the neighbourhood?

We should have never left Ohio.

Because I don't want

you ruining your life

with the shithead next door?

Because Grandma took care

of Shell and I didn't have to.

Don't worry about taking

care of your sister.

I'll find someone who's thankful

to have a roof over their head

and doesn't mind a little

responsibility in return.

I'm disappointed, MJ.

Stop acting like it was so

f***ing great at your grandma's.

Why do some look

bigger than others?

I don't know.

Why are some brighter?

Maybe they were born that way.

Why?

God wanted it that way, I guess.

I don't think so.

I think they were all born bright,

and then after a while,

all the stuff around

them, dust and stuff,

covered them up.

So you just can't see them.

But they're still

bright underneath.

It's still there if you

look close enough.

That's why you're going

to be the doctor

and I'm going to ride horses.

Who the f*** is that?

You need a job?

Hello?

Yeah, yeah. No problem.

Okay.

I have to leave for a few days.

Zada, you can take

the reins from here?

All right, give me a kiss.

Can we go to the beach

when you get back?

MJ really wants to.

No, I don't.

Yes, she does.

Sure.

All right, I'll call you when I get back.

Okay.

Bye, girls.

I'm already going to the beach.

How?

Don't worry about it.

But you got nice colours.

I'm so white.

I know.

No, but it's beautiful. It's nice.

You got to be f***ing kidding me.

What happened?

He just hit a f***ing sandbar.

Hey, I usually don't come

in this way, all right?

It's low tide and we're loaded.

Push! Push!

...three, push!

F***...

Oh! I think it moved a little.

Oh!

And a push!

Push!

F***!

Come on.

F*** it. F***er!

F***!

It's just too heavy, man.

Tell me something I don't

f***ing know, Duane!

Push!

Come on!

Oh!

We're sitting ducks.

We just wait for the

tide and we'll be fine.

We're throwing it.

We are not throwing load.

Radio the boss man.

He wants me to go down for him

and there's no f***ing way.

Let me just think for a minute.

There's no f***ing time to think, man!

The sun is up! The cops are going

to be crawling on my f***ing boat!

I don't owe the boss man nothing.

So grab a bale and get the

f*** over the rail here.

I'm not touching it.

We have a problem.

Did you know that the

study of human behaviour

first began with the

study of animals?

Darwin discovered that animals

exhibit patterns of

behaviour based on survival

and natural selection.

And once you control the variables,

those behaviors also can

be limited, manipulated.

In theory,

if an animal is taken care of,

nurtured, fed...

it will exhibit behaviour

that can be predicted.

But every so often

a random gene enters the mix

and changes the

direction of the group.

And it has to be extracted.

Before the entire herd can

duplicate the pattern.

Boss, I did not throw that load.

I swear to God.

You tell me exactly what happened.

The rules exist for a

reason, Christina.

But I'm sure you already

understand that.

Dollar a pound.

Your cut, plus BK and Duane's.

They won't be needing theirs.

It pays to be more

intelligent than an animal.

Terry?

I'll be right out.

...The impact felt all

throughout the community.

Tonight, the district

attorney is saying

it was all surrounding

one thing:
drugs.

Nicole Jacobs with new information.

What do you have, Nicole?

The bodies of two men,

Duane Hoffman and Brian Klay III

were just discovered lifeless

in front of the Ocean View Hotel.

The circumstances

surrounding this incident

are still under investigation.

What can I do you for, beautiful?

Whisky and water.

Girls?

MJ, put the magazine down.

I love you very much.

You know that, don't you?

If anything were

to ever happen...

What's going to happen to you?

Nothing's going to happen to me.
