Rip Tide

1

A rumor is a forest fire

So kill it dead

Or run it wild

We could blow this out

Or let it burn us up alive

Cannot stop

what's in my mind

'Cause now I want

your body on mine

'Cause when the

world's so cold

Somebody gotta

hold you tight

Ohh

Come run inside,

run inside my love

Ohh

Come run inside my love

Everyone needs

a little place to hide

When you're about

to blow it open wide

Ohh

Come run inside,

run inside my love

Run inside my love

Run inside my love

Ohh

Come run inside,

run inside my love

Run inside my love

Run inside my love

Come run inside,

run inside my love

Mom, I want to talk

to you about something.

Mom.

Yeah, yeah, yeah,

me, too, honey.

I don't want to

make you nervous,

but Morgana Ferzari is here.

She wants to see how

you do in the shoot.

Now, don't worry.

Just be professional, okay?

I was talking about college.

- Honey, we've been through this.

- Sofia.

Yeah, Madeline, wait over there

until Farriet is ready.

Right now we have exciting

things on the table...

A modeling contract most

girls can only dream of.

All our hard work

is gonna pay off.

Yeah, but I would still love to

apply, you know, have options.

Uh, lift it up.

Okay, turn to your right.

Stop. Okay.

This... will give you options.

- The latest proofs.

- Oh, excuse me.

Um, hey, you are

coming tomorrow, right?

Darling, we can't do everything.

Graduation's important.

I know, and so is a meeting

about your contract.

Yeah, she's ready.

I'm ready.

Let's go. I'm waiting.

Oh, this is futile!

None of this is gonna work.

Fashion Week is two weeks away.

Where are my others assistants?

Huh.

If you remove the wings,

you can let the simplicity of

the dress speak for itself.

And with this burnt rouge...

bring the eye from the hemline

through the bodice,

highlighting the neckline.

What a remarkable idea.

- No, I just...

- No, no, no, no.

Why stop at one outfit?

If I knew we had

an expert in our midst,

I would have relied

on you earlier.

Morgana?

Cora Hamilton,

perhaps you should

just, uh, curate

the entire shoot.

Now, while I don't mind

letting Sofia's daughter

play dress-up,

it might be stretching

the friendship

just a tad to give her my job.

Don't you think?

Cora?

Where are you going?

The dress.

Ohh

Come run inside,

run inside my love

Ohh

Come run inside my love

Stop!

Get away from me!

Stop!

Come run inside,

run inside my love

Mom?

Um, Sofia wants to know

if you're all right.

Why can't she ask me herself?

She's on a call at the moment.

She's doing damage control.

Okay.

Happy 18th, Cora!

Sending you good vibes

from sunny Tea Tree.

Hope to see you soon.

All my love, Aunt Margot.

Did you see his shoes?

This is a general announcement.

Flight 1138 bound

for Sydney, Australia,

your departure gate

is now changed to gate 26.

What on Earth do you

think you're doing?

Do you think I wouldn't

notice a $7,000 charge

for plane tickets to Australia?

I have got a catastrophe

on my hands

that affects both

of our reputations,

and you're running away.

Was this her idea?

- Aunt Margot's?

Yeah, of course.

I'm horrible.

She's the fun surfer aunt.

You know, I've barely heard

from her since Caleb died.

No, it wasn't her idea.

It was mine.

She's always written and said

that I'm welcome

to come stay whenever,

so I took her up on the offer.

She said she'd love to see me.

What? Is that

so surprising...

Someone actually

wanting to see me?

You know, taking a genuine

interest, asking them things,

wondering what they think,

maybe listening to them?

I'm running New York's

top model agency,

one that will launch

you into a career

that will take care

of you your entire life.

Darling, I cannot give you

my attention all the time.

I don't want your attention

all of the time.

But maybe once, you could

have made an exception,

done something I wanted to do

that was important to me.

I missed most of my childhood,

missed my graduation

so I could be

where you wanted me,

when you wanted me there.

I've fit into your life,

and now I'm doing something

on my own terms.

Sweetie, I know

that you're upset,

but people like us

can't afford accidents.

This was your chance

to show Morgana

and the industry

the polished young woman

you've become,

not some melodramatic teen.

Why won't you listen to me?

Even when your daughter

is plastered on

every magazine in New York,

it's like you

still can't see me.

Cora, you can't just

always run away.

I am not running away.

I am running towards

something else, anything,

as long as it's not your idea.

Now, why don't you just go back

and do what you usually do...

Get on with your busy life

and forget about me?

I got a little

secret in my heart

Ladies and gentlemen,

this is your

first officer speaking.

In a few minutes,

we will be commencing

our descent into Sydney.

Cabin crew, prepare

the cabin for landing.

Outside is black and white

We laying color on the floor

- That's her.

- No way.

Good morning, miss.

We'll be landing soon,

so here's your next

boarding pass.

It's gate 4.

Uh, I booked first class.

There's no first class

on a prop plane,

but I'm sure you'll have fun.

We'd better get out there.

It'll be smooth as glass.

You know, tai chi

is only beneficial

when you don't actively

work against it.

I'm not working against it.

It's working against me.

It calms the mind.

Imagine how much calmer you'd be

if you did it really quickly,

finished, and could

do something else.

You seem to be

missing the point.

You used to hate all this stuff.

The need for stillness

outweighed my ego.

Luckily, I don't have

that problem.

My life is a well-oiled machine.

All set to pick your

niece up this morning?

She doesn't get

in until tomorrow.

You said that yesterday,

and as its habit,

tomorrow is now today.

You've waited for 10 years

for her to come back,

and now you're gonna be late.

Breathe.

Cora?

Oh, my gosh! Look at you!

You're all grown up!

Sorry I'm late.

It's okay.

Oh, you're moving in, huh?

Uh, got to be prepared

for anything.

All you'll need is

your bathing suit.

Jump in.

You want to drive?

Oh.

- Thanks for having me.

- Of course.

It was a wonderful surprise.

Last-minute trip, huh?

Yeah. You know, things

are so busy right now.

If you get a chance for a

holiday, you got to take it.

Well, I'm glad you did.

So, what's the plan?

Oh, uh, no plan, really.

Just kind of gonna

see what happens.

What does your mom think

about you coming to stay?

Hey, you know, she thinks

it's a great idea.

Okay. Good.

How is your mom?

She's good.

She's fine.

Just always working.

It's a shame she couldn't

come out last year.

I'm so sorry about Caleb.

Well, that's life.

I should call Sof anyway.

It's been too long.

Sof.

That's really nice, actually.

Nobody back home calls her that.

Old habits die hard.

You remember when you were

here last with your mom?

Yeah.

Mom and I made a pact
