Love at the Shore Page #5

joining us.

-Well, alright. Absolutely.

-Thank you.

Yeah, I feel pretty lucky.

I mean, to be able to...

Make a living doing this.

So, you own the summer camp?

That's why you're always there?

Well, I also like the free food

at the snack bar.

So, there's that.

You really did the whole

corporate thing?

Yeah. For a while.

To save up some money

for the camp.

Luckily I made some

good investments.

I can't believe it.

I'm shocked.

What part?

That I own the place?

Or that I actually have

a schedule?

Nick mentioned that?

He sure did.

'Kids are like parrots.'

They repeat everything you say.

-Yeah.

-Yeah.

Yeah, I mean, he must have

taken it out of context.

Hey, it's not a big deal.

I would've assumed

that I was unemployed too.

You're funny.

How's that?

I don't know.

Just... can't figure you out.

What can I say?

I'm full of surprises.

You see, he's not such a bad guy

once you get to know him.

-Hi.

-Hi.

No, I didn't think

he was a bad guy.

No?

Alright, I wasn't

a huge fan at first

but he's been really amazing

to my kids.

So, there you go.

I actually thought

you two were together.

Please, I'm so

not his type.

And he's not mine.

-Really?

-Yeah.

'Cause I think

you're everybody's type.

We're just friends.

Well, that's good.

I mean, either way

it would have been good

but... good.

-A cone.

-Yes.

Hi, can I get

the lemon sherbet, please?

Can I just give you

a friendly warning?

That sounds ominous.

He's a sweet guy, for sure.

But a family man, he is not.

He likes his freedom

way too much.

Well, then I...

Guess it's alright that

I'm not looking for anything.

You sure about that?

Yeah, and I've already

been disappointed

by one relationship.

I'm not trying for another.

-Your sherbet is ready.

-Thank you.

Thank you.

-Bye.

-Bye.

Hi.

How about two vanillas

and one strawberry sorbet?

I probably shouldn't

ask this, but...

Why are we here

and not at the pool?

You see that out there?

Yeah, the old lighthouse?

Yeah, well, that old lighthouse

is how I get over

my fear of swimming.

Please!

You were never afraid.

You're right.

I was terrified.

-Of what?

-The open water.

And that's not so great,

if all you wanna do is surf.

So, I told myself if I could

swim out to that old lighthouse

and back again, I'd just drop

this whole scared stuff.

How old were you?

I don't know.

Probably about your age.

Great, so now, you want

me to swim out there too?

To improve my time?

No, definitely not.

In hindsight,

it wasn't the most logical plan.

Look...

I'm not worried

about your swim trials.

I know you're gonna

hit your time.

All I'm trying to say is

it's pretty amazing how strong

you can be

if you're pushed to it.

Even if to push yourself.

That was kinda deep.

Well, don't

get used to it, kid.

Deep is boring.

-You hungry?

-Yeah, sure.

I'll race you to lunch.

-Okay.

-Alright.

Okay.

I prefer this blue

than the other blue

if we're gonna go

with the blue for food.

Yeah, yeah, it's just that...

Are you really

having a party on a Tuesday?

Are we really being that loud?

Look, I don't mean

to be a killjoy, but...

It's nice to see you.

Look, don't.

Don't try to charm

your way out of this one.

I won that bet fair and square.

So, you think I'm charming?

What, what? No.

You sure?

Stop trying to change

the subject.

It isn't a party.

No? Like, what is it?

A hangout?

We're working.

-You're working?

-Well...

That guy over

in the corner isn't.

'But everyone else is.'

We just wrapped a little

promotional video.

'It's not little.'

Somebody wants to franchise

the summer camp.

Someone wants to invest?

Like a Shark Tank guy?

Actually, an old classmate

of mine from Berkeley.

And he comes down next week,

so it is crunch time.

Wait, you went to UC Berkeley?

Just for my MBA.

Hence, the two-week rule.

What's that?

Nothing.

You're obviously busy.

So, I'm gonna get going.

Jenna?

Yes.

We'll keep it down.

Thank you.

You really

are full of surprises.

Hey, did you guys

remember your socks?

Can't fall without 'em.

Don't want foot fungus.

Well, yeah, I think

we get the idea, but...

Have fun.

Happy birthday, Grayson.

-Thanks, Mrs. T.

-Yeah.

You better relax tonight.

It's your one night off.

-I will.

-You promise?

-I swear.

-Okay.

Drive safe.

Come on.

Really?

'Tank, come eat.'

Hello? Lucas?

I'm sorry.

Can barely hear you

over that wall.

Never gets old, does it?

No.

I was wondering, if maybe

I could use your barbeque.

I just have this one thing.

Where are the kids?

-Birthday party.

-Lucky you.

Yeah.

You don't outsource

much, do you?

Not usually, no.

It's actually kinda nice

to have the night off.

And, that's what

you're eating?

I was gonna put cheese on it.

That is pitiful.

Grab your cardigan.

Why? You takin' me out?

Maybe.

It's not that bad.

This place never gets old.

Even with all the crazy

tourists, I just love it here.

I can't believe you've been

coming here for four years

and you've never

been to Sam's.

-Not that I remember.

-No, you'd remember.

This is the best food

you're gonna have in town.

Ain't that right, Sam?

'Lucas!'

-How's it going?

-Good, if you're hungry.

We got an early bite.

This is as fresh as it gets.

What are you feeling like?

I don't know.

-I eat everything.

-A girl after my own heart.

Well, except for cucumbers.

People say they don't

taste like anything

but they totally permeate

even if it just touches a leaf.

If you're trying to make me

revise my previous statement

it's not gonna work.

Then, I eat everything.

How about you give us

a whole crab,

some of your garlic shrimp

two rolls

and a stack of napkins.

-Comin' up.

-Thank you.

I bet you bring

all your neighbors here.

Only the impossible ones.

I'm flattered.

I've run through, like,

50 napkins

and you haven't even used one.

Okay, so, the trick is

you need to know how to grab

the crab.

See, first...

You take up all the legs

and you hope you get some meat.

No luck, no dice.

And then...

This is a male.

And they... Sorry.

I think I need another napkin.

You can have the whole stack.

When did you suddenly

become the neat one?

See, now you sound

like Ally.

She just says it

like it is.

It's pretty impressive.

Yeah, she really

likes you.

They both do.

Well, they have

impeccable taste.

Okay, I, you know what?

I think I'm done with this guy,

but it was delicious.

Best in town.

Yeah.

You ready for your big meeting?

Yeah.

I think as long as

I get a good surf in

beforehand, I'll be fine.

You have a tie?

Do I need a tie?

You said they're

pretty corporate.

I'm not worried.

Are you always this relaxed?

As long as I've done

the best that I can on my end

then just let the rest go.

Yeah, I wish

I could do that.

Let things go?

Stop trying to control

things from all sides.

Well, you got a few more sides

to deal with than I do.

And you're killing it,

by the way.

Killing it?
