Bodhi flashes a million dollar smile.
BODHI:
Chill, brah. You know who this is?
Johnny Utah. Ohio State, all-
conference.
(to Utah)
Rose Bowl three years ago. Right?
Johnny nods. Tyler looks at him -- no sh*t?
ROACH:
Johnny f***in' Utah! F***in'-A!
Yeah, I remember that game, man.
You were on-fire. They could not
stop your ass.
GROMMET:
Radical! Head-butt, dude!!
Johnny gestures "Please no".
Enthused by the concept, Grommet turns to Nathaniel.
GROMMET:
Head-butt!!!
They do. Their foreheads CRACK together. They stumble
backwards in giddy euphoria. Nathaniel laughs like Pee
Wee Herman.
BODHI:
Something happened. You got nuked
in the last quarter.
UTAH:
Yeah, my knee got folded about 90
degrees the wrong way.
BODHI:
And that's why you never went pro?
UTAH:
Two years of surgery. I missed my
window. Limped through law school
instead.
BODHI:
Mmm. A lawyer, huh?
(like it's a disease)
Too bad. But at least you're
surfing now. So your life's not
over yet, right?
UTAH:
Not yet.
CUT TO:
INT. FEDERAL BUILDING - 16TH FLOOR - DAY
Utah, in shorts and T-shirt, carries his flame-job
surfboard past surveillance cameras and portraits of Bush,
Hoover and Webster. Special Agent Cole walks by. Eyes
the board. Speaks deadpan.
COLE:
Like totally rad stick, dude.
INT. BULLPEN
Utah tries to act casual as he carries the board to his
desk on the other side of the room. He has to walk past
the entire gauntlet to get there.
SEVERAL AGENTS:
Gnarly, man... hang ten...
cowabunga... surf patrol... rip it
up!
Harp comes straight for him like a homing missile.
HARP:
How was the beach?
UTAH:
Fine.
HARP:
Surf conditions okay?
UTAH:
A little mushy.
HARP:
taxpayers would like it, Utah, if
they knew they were paying a federal
agent to surf and pick up girls?
UTAH:
Babes.
HARP:
What?
UTAH:
The correct term is babes, sir. Uh,
this type of undercover operation is
entirely dependent on picking up the
idiom of the speech. Otherwise
penetration is not possible, sir.
Of the social infrastructure, I
mean.
Harp inhales through his nose. A bad sign.
HARP:
Where is Pappas?
Utah points across the room. Harp turns.
PAPPAS, sitting behind his desk in his "Surf This" T-shirt
and pink shorts, lifts the purple Vuarnets like Tom Cruise
in Risky Business.
Looks directly at Harp. Smiles innocently.
INT. HARP'S OFFICE
Harp paces. Type-A suppressed rage.
Utah and Pappas endure Harp's wrath.
HARP:
Special Agent Utah, this is not some
job flippin' burgers at the drive-in.
Yes, the surfboard bothers me. Yes,
your approach to this case bothers
me. And yes, you bother me. You
two have produced squat in the last
two weeks, during which time the Ex-
Presidents have robbed two more
banks!! Do you have anything even
remotely interesting to tell me?
UTAH:
Caught my first tube this morning.
Pappas signals, unseen by Harp, for Utah to shut the f***
up.
INT. CORRIDOR TO COMPUTER ROOM
Johnny and Angelo walking.
PAPPAS:
What, you couldn't have just left
the thing in your car?
UTAH:
It sticks out, so I can't lock it.
Look, Angelo, you think I joined the
FBI to learn to surf? This was your
lame-o idea in the first place. You
gotta back me up on this.
PAPPAS:
Johnny, all I can say is we better
come up with something real soon.
Johnny c*cks an eyebrow and opens the door to the computer
room ceremonially, like a doorman at the Ritz-Carlton.
Miss Deer looks up as they enter.
INT. COMPUTER ROOM
TIGHT ON CRT as a lab report scrolls up the screen. Gas
chromatography and spectroanalysis. Columns of elements
and compounds, listed as percentage-of-sample.
MISS DEER (V.O.)
Encino Savings & Loan guard grabbed
LBJ's ponytail. We recovered one
hair.
WIDER, showing Utah and Pappas over her shoulder at the
terminal.
PAPPAS:
Yeah, yeah, I remember, last year.
Guy got his jaw broken for it.
MISS DEER:
One four centimeter strand. Color
brown. Oily. Slight wave.
PAPPAS:
Hell, what're we waiting for, let's
go pick the guy up.
UTAH:
Angelo, pay attention. There's
gonna be a test afterward. Lab is
showing traces of toxins. PCBs.
Heavy elements... selenium, titanium
and arsenic.
PAPPAS:
Guy's the Toxic Avenger.
Utah is excited as he fits the pieces together for his
partner.
UTAH:
The beaches are always being closed
because of waste spills, right? And
surfers are territorial. They stick
mostly to certain breaks. If we can
get some hair samples, and get a
match to a certain beach, we'd know
which break the Ex-Presidents surf.
You buyin' this?
PAPPAS:
No. But let's do it, anyway. It's
gonna bug the sh*t out of Harp.
CUT TO:
EXT. LATIGO - DAY
Department of Health sign reads, "Beach Temporarily
Closed." Beyond it crashes a wasted northwest swell.
Two frustrated teenage SURFERS huddle underneath a towel.
A sandaled FOOT enters frame and taps their leg. Angry
heads poke up from beneath the towel, nostrils and mouths
billowing smoke.
The two wear T-shirts which read "Passion for Slashin" and
"Psycho Stick".
PAPPAS smiles, standing there in his beach wear, trying to
blend in. He doesn't.
