Right on.

That's why you never tell a woman

how to cook a chicken.

I can't believe you got shot by a chick.

Shaun, right?

Aren't you Gabe's bro?

Yeah.

Heard you went all Hollywood

writing movies or something.

Yeah, or something.

What's the deal?

You're still with Tori then?

Are you a fag?

I mean she's hot.

So it's cool if I move in on that then?

The swell's coming in.

Yeah it looks that way.

- Trip seeing Tori.

- Yeah, I bet.

You guys have been together for years.

Yeah we're just taking a little break

right now.

She's my best friend.

Other than Gabe.

It's all good.

You dating anyone?

No, I just broke up.

Yeah?

Is that why you're really down here?

No...

Yeah, actally it is.

I moved out of our place and my new lease

doesn't start until the end of the month.

That's cool.

I'm sorry.

Hello?

I thought we weren't gonna leave him over there.

No, don't drive, Jeanne.

I'll go get him.

Yeah.

I gotta go.

Alright.

Tori said she needs a ride so...

That's cool, I'll catch a ride

from someone.

Great riding today.

- Alright.

- It was good seeing you man.

- Yeah it was fun.

- Ok cool.

I'm gonna leave.

Wait, come here...

I'm tired.

Goodnight.

Did I write this sh*t?

Oh my God.

Hello! Hello! Is anybody out there?

Hello... Shaun?

- Who the f*** is this?

- Master does not know his own student.

Student is ashamed.

Master gets old.

Where'd you find these?

Dude, they were just laying

around the house.

Gabe and I used to stay up for

hours on these.

I can't believe that these

go all the way to your house.

All the way to the ghetto.

They were the latest technology

back then.

I think your dad bought them

in an airport.

when he missed a Christmas one year.

Step-dad.

Yeah, I remember that year.

I think he got me a talking dart board.

That sucks!

Oh hey, I saw some of your tags today.

They're sweet.

- Yeah?

- You've got the crane going on, looks cool.

Glad to see someone's doing

their artwork.

Yeah, sometimes.

It was nice riding out there today.

Yeah.

What's up?.

Your batteries are probably gonna run out.

Probably haven't been replaced

in 10 years.

What are you listening to?

Nothing...

He's a fighter.

He's gonna kick his ass.

But he wants to look good...

kicking his ass.

He's wearing a sweet suit

And he's gonna kick his ass.

Dude, it's breaking overhead

Let's roll to the 'bu.

I'm working.

Really? That's too bad.

Alright, I'll see you later then.

Alright! Hold on, I'll come.

You might wanna change first.

Come on dude, let's go!

Dude, it's a f***ing circus out there.

I'll protect you from the big brewery.

P*ssy!

Go... I've got a better spot.

Better spot...

- It's nice.

- Yeah.

- The waves are great.

- Just gotta figure out where this road is.

Oh right there!

Careful.

- Should've told me sooner.

- Sorry.

This is rad!

Sorry I never told you and Gabe

about this place, man.

I just didn't want it to turn into the

remnants of your keggers every Sunday morning.

This is my place I used to get away to

come and just think.

- And surf?

- And surf.

Let's go.

So you still thinking about

applying to art school?

I do street art now.

It's cool though, you know.

What are you working on?

A book.

It's been like 3 years since

the last one, right?

- Is is really long or something?

- F*** off.

You sure didn't leave much out

of the last one.

You read it?

Who knew there'd be so much drama

inside the gates of Pacific Bluffs.

I never knew.

You never really know

what's happening inside.

That's what I liked about it.

- I did embellish a little bit, it is fiction.

- You changed a couple of names?

When did you read it?

When it came out.

Funny, Gabe never mentioned anything.

I never told him.

Why would he tell you?

I just never knew that

you knew about me.

What's your new one about?

Still trying to figure that out.

Don't really have a subject yet.

But, I'll get it back.

I hope so.

You're good.

- You really liked it?

- Yeah.

You hungry?

- Yeah, you wanna go to the shack or something?

- Yeah, definitely.

So, how long you staying around?

I'm gonna be here for a while.

I was supposed to go to Barcelona to meet

a friend next month but I'm kinda broke.

You should ask your stepfather for the cash.

That's not my style.

Have you ever been to Europe.

I've been to Florida once.

And that time your parents took

me to Mexico.

- That's about it.

- That's right.

- I don't travel much.

- You should go, man.

I'd like to someday.

I mean, just for the art.

Go ahead, take it.

Nah, it's cool.

- What? You guys like, in limbo or something?

- Yeah...

- I'm no good at that.

- Takes a little practice.

And he drives right through the stop sign.

And out into some field.

He totally passed out.

He must've been wasted, man.

He was totally hammered.

He's a f***ing idiot.

But he's my brother.

And I love him.

And my best friend.

Cheers!

I'm gonna get another... you?

Ok.

Here you go...

Thanks, brother.

- Wow.

- Woah... what are you doing?

Easy dude, it's ok.

I wanna look at it.

No one ever looks at that.

Wow, is that Cody?

Yeah.

A sad Cody.

You could tell?

Yeah. And how you darkened it

around his head.

This is incredible.

And there's no toys in his room.

That's awesome.

Yeah, he'd just gotten scolded.

He was trying to understand why...

So he came into my room.

He hasn't left yet.

It's the only place he could sleep.

Ok, enough.

Adam's apple.

- I'm trashed.

- The cops are definitely coming.

Sh*t!

What?

You can make it.

Cody, let's go.

Where were you?

- Surfing.

- All night?

Yeah, what the f***?

I'm just asking.

- Want a ride or not?

- Go.

Cody, let's go!

I think I should reapply

to CalArts...

What's CalArts?

It's a school, buddy.

- I get to go to school next year.

- Yep.

They already turned you down.

What made you think of that?

It's just a thought.

Well don't get your hopes up.

I mean we're having a hard time, Zach.

I don't need you getting all down.

Yeah...

Allen paints houses. Maybe I can see if

he can hook you up with a job.

You're heavy.

- I'll be right in.

- Alright, hurry up.

Hey, monkey.

Hey.

I'm late.

Hey.

Oh hey.

I hear you've been hanging out with Shaun.

Surfing.

Well you know about him, right?

What about him?

He's gay.

He's an old friend, Jeanne.

We've been surfing together since I was 8.

Yeah, well is that all?

Yeah, what are you saying?

- Nothing.

- Good.

Zach, I just don't think he's the best guy

to be hanging out with all day half-naked...

if you know what I mean.

And I don't want Cody around that.

What? Why?

I'm late. Get out.

Fine.

Zach, you're not a fag, right?

Jeanne...

You never tell me anything.

How am I supposed to know?

What do you think?

I think I don't wanna deal with that.

Hi dude.

- I tried calling you.

- Yeah.

- Listen, I just wanted to...

- I'm really busy man.

- Yeah, that's cool.

- Yeah, I know.

- Listen, man...

- Just drop it, dude.
