Rock Haven

The very first day I arrived at

Rock Haven,

I could sense right away that

it was an ideal spot...

to be one with God.

Mmm, listen to this:

Rock Haven owes its birth

to the 1906 earthquake.

Thousands of San Franciscans

sought refuge right here on

these beaches.

When school starts, Brady, I hope you'll

be as diligent

with your Bible studies as you are

with the trivia.

You didn't say grace, Mom.

Come, Lord Jesus,

be our guest.

and let these gifts

to us be blessed.

Amen.

You working late again?

With all these regulations, you'd think

I was starting my own country.

It's hard to meet people around here.

I know, I know.

That's Angie.

Who's that?

Our neighbor, she

needs some boxes.

You've got to meet my son.

Brady, this is Angie's boy.

Clifford.

Hi.

Let me get the boxes.

I've seen you around.

You must have me

confused with someone else.

There you go; there are plenty

more where these came from.

Thanks, I'll give 'em to my mom.

See you later.

What's wrong with you?

He's weird!

Sorry,

sorry...

You dropped your towel.

Okay.

Just for a minute.

How old are you?

Guess!

You barely shave...

Thirteen!

Eighteen!

Gimme a break!

I'm nineteen.

It's not much difference.

Maybe.

Maybe not.

So, I hear it's pretty wild at

UC Berkeley.

Don't you like 'wild', Brady?

College has a way of changing that.

I don't think so.

Where are you going this fall?

Uhm, Summit.

The Bible college?

I'm glad you find it

so amusing.

What are you majoring in?

'Televangelism'?

You think you're really smart,

don't you?

I was joking.

No, you weren't.

I still have some unpacking

I need to do.

Guess that's my cue.

I'm sorry if I offended you.

Reverend Brown...

non-Christians can be a

pain sometimes.

I hear you.

You know, Brady, there's a

whole world out there,

and we can't be insular.

I look older than thirteen, right?

How's it goin'?

Pretty good.

School'll be here before

we know it.

I can wait.

Listen!

I know, you can hear

the waves.

But you see, that's a myth.

It's really just environmental noise.

It sounds different

because it's being reflected

off the interior of the shell.

I bet you I could teach you a few

things about astronomy too...

Brady, Brady, Brady...

Do you realize you're a

nerd sometimes?

Yes!

Just checking!

I may need to get my stomach pumped.

Consider yourself officially initiated!

That second bowl of popcorn

was definitely a mistake!

But I'd do it again.

My mother's got a junk food gene...

I inherited it.

The only junk food in my house

is Granola.

It's a nice place.

Thanks.

Listen...

there's something I need

to get out of the way,

but you have to promise not

to hold it against me.

What is it?

Clifford!

Oh Clifford!

Cliffo-oooo-ord!

Brace yourself!

Brady, this is my mom,

she's certifiable.

Hi Brady!

Be sure to thank you mother

for those boxes.

Hi, Mrs. ...

Just call me Angie.

You have such an interesting

field of energy.

Come on.

So, do you like your new home?

Yes maam, Angie.

What do you think of this?

I got it at an antique store

in Mo valley.

You know, Dad hates it when you

clutter up the house.

Sometimes my son's too

clever for his own good.

See you later.

Bye.

Call your father tonight!

She's driving me crazy.

Where's your dad that you need

to call him?

Barcelona.

He's never around.

My dad died.

Liver cancer.

I'm sorry.

I've a picture of him.

Handsome!

I can see the resemblance.

Thank you.

Wanna go for a walk?

Yeah, sure.

Back in Oberlin Park,

Brady had the biggest crush on

the next-door neighbor girl...

For the eightieth time, I did not

have a crush on Kelly Houston!

Gimme the dirt!

All the dirt!

One day he cut her braids so badly

I had to pay her mother

for a whole new haircut.

Sounds scandalous!

I was eight!

Ten!

I tell you, his mind seems elsewhere since we've

left Kansas.

No offence, but I disagree.

Your son is more grounded

than any boy I've ever met.

What a nice thing to say!

It's just a fact.

Put that in your trivia book!

Brady says you're opening up a school.

It's a Christian school.

Are you a Christian, Clifford?

Uh, I come from a non-traditional background.

Maybe you'd like to join us for Church

one of these days.

There's chocolate pudding for desert.

Let me take your plates.

I really like how he defended

you at dinner.

He has his moments!

This halogen is the most abundant in nature.

Chlorine.

Yep.

But I was struck by how you

changed the subject

when we started talking about Church.

You seem almost ashamed.

I'm not ashamed,

it's just that...

What?

I'm afraid he won't wanna be my

friend any more.

You can't think that way, Brady.

I know.

I brought you something.

Just keep an open mind.

What am I gonna do with you?

Think of something!

It's best to start with the

New Testament.

I take it Clifford has

a girlfriend.

He's kind of picky.

Brady too!

Marty, can I tell you a

secret about Clifford?

Maybe it's true of Brady as well.

Sure.

My boy... he's a closet...

romantic.

Brady too.

We'd like to invite Clifford to come to Church

with us one of these Sundays.

If he's okay, I'm okay.

I think Brady and Clifford

are good for each other.

You're such a pretty girl, Peggy.

Isn't she... Brady?

Thank you.

When you gonna tell that

boy the truth?

He already knows about me...

and himself.

Oooh, brother!

I know what I'm doing.

Sure you do!

So... !

Your mom tells me you're going

to Cinema State next year.

They have a good drama program.

That's great, Peggy.

We can always use more Christian actors,

right Brady?

Well don't leave Peggy in there

by herself!

Why did you have to say

all those things at dinner?

Well, somebody had to say something!

I don't think she likes me.

Oh, don't be silly.

You just have to get over your

shyness around girls, that's all.

Ask her if she wants some ice-cream.

Maybe we should check on desert.

You know, Brady...

out of all the guys my mom's set

me up with,

you're the only one I can stand.

Does she have big tits?

I don't know!

You don't know?

Poor Peeegggy!

Peggy.

Do you mind... ?

Rub my feet!

Are you serious?

C'mon, they're killin' me.

Harder!

Even harder!

Maybe we should find you a girlfriend, too.

You don't know the first thing about girls!

I don't see you going on

any dates right now.

At least I know what to do.

I know what to do!

Show her you seashell collection?

Listen up...

Pretend I'm you, and

you're the girl.

We're all by ourselves; we've just got

past first base.

First base?

Hopeless, truly hopeless!

You kissed her...

you got her shirt off...

Peggy would never allow that!

Don't let these Jesus freaks

fool you!

Here comes the important part.

You've got to approach from

the bottom of the cups...

otherwise you might hurt the

poor girl's b*obs!

You do know what b*obs are, right?

No, what are those?

Close your eyes.

What now?

It tickles.

Keep touching her like so...

she'll like that.
