Ok.

Hey, Shaun.

Hey. What's up?

I need help!

Shaun, this is Cody.

Hi Cody, how are you man?

I'm shaun.

I need help.

You need help?

Alright...

But dude you've got it all wrong.

You've gotta fortify the corners of

the moat first

Fortify?

Codes, let's go.

I'm not done, I have to fortify!

Shaun, do you mind looking after

Cody for a second?

We're cool.

Let's go for a walk.

No, I don't think I should leave Cody.

Come on, Shaun can watch him.

You guys go, it's fine.

Alright.

There we go.

This is gonna be a sweet walking bridge.

Oh look at that.

Shaun's great with Cody.

Listen, I'm sorry about the other day.

It was stupid.

Just make up your mind, Zach.

If you don't want to be together just

don't pull that sh*t on me

Ok.

If it's what you want then

I'm gonna move on.

Alright.

You know what that means, right?

Yeah, Tori. I know what that means.

Just go, ok?

Come on, Cody.

Time to go.

Five more minutes.

Shaun rocks.

No, Cody. Let's go.

Shaun rocks!

Can I jump on the sand castle?

No, we gotta go. Come on.

The tide's gonna get it anyway.

You might as well let him have at it.

Go ahead.

Alright man, great job!

Come on, little man.

Sayonara.

Hey, I just wanted to talk

to you about the other night.

What?

I think you're really talented.

And I don't think you should throw it away.

I think you should do something with it.

Is that it?

Yeah.

I'm late.

Tor, I'll call...

Good morning.

What time is it?

Why?

You got somewhere to go?

Yeah. Yeah I gotta go.

Wait.

Listen, I gotta go.

- Hey, Jeanne.

- Hey.

Where's Cody?

Like you care.

What are you talking about?

Where were you last night?

I called you like 3 times.

Did you need something?

Yeah. I need to know you're there.

I'm always there.

For Cody.

You weren't last night.

What do you need, Jeanne?

Actually, Allen is going up

to Portland this weekend.

He's gonna make a bid for a job.

He said he'd take me.

It would do me so much good

to get out of here.

- Allen?

- Yeah.

- Allen?

- Uh huh.

Can you watch Cody this weekend?

Please...

I was hoping to have the weekend to myself.

Why?

Who are you f***ing?

What?

What are you talking about?

Come on, I saw you gazing out the window.

I know it's not Tori.

Who is it?

Nobody?

Well I guess you're free then.

Come on, Zach. You're all I've got.

I know.

Hey.

Hey. Everything cool?

Yeah...

What are you doing?

Going to work.

Come on over tonight.

I'll cook steaks.

Uh... I can't.

Come on. I'll make margaritas.

Strong ones.

Who is that?

No one.

Hold on.

So you can do it, right?

I gotta tell Allen.

Fine.

Cool, thanks.

Shaun, I can't.

Why?

Jeanne's leaving for the weekend

and I gotta watch Cody.

So bring him.

No.

Why not?

You don't care?

No! That kid's great.

He says some funny sh*t.

Look, I'm turning the grill on at 8.

Ok.

Come on, dude.

I like these!

I like these!

Nah, you don't want those.

I think you should get these.

But I want real shoes.

But these are way cooler.

Ok.

Alright, let's go.

Hey! Ankle biter!

What's up man, how are ya?

Are you hungry?

Starving!

Starving?

What would you like for dinner?

He'll eat whatever.

I don't think I was asking him, was I?

- No.

- No, I don't think so.

Cold ones are in the fridge.

- What are you drinking?

- Red. Larry had this sick bottle in the cellar.

I'll try that.

Alright, cool.

Alright, buddy. Lay it on me.

What you gonna have for dinner tonight?

Mac and Cheese

Ok.

Hot dogs.

Hot dogs?

Pancakes with...

Chocolate chips.

Chocolate chips? Ok!

and no vegetables.

No vegetables?

Are you sure?

Sure, sure?

Ok. Alright, buddy.

I want you to do me a favor...

Go look out at the ocean.

Beautiful waves coming in right now.

I'm gonna make your dinner.

Somehow.

- Are we still in California?

- Yeah, buddy.

Where are you going?

I don't think we have that stuff in the house.

Seriously, dude. Don't worry about it.

No, I want to.

Little kids are supposed to be spoiled.

Besides, I'll be back in five minutes, ok?

I'm gonna go check on him.

Where did Jeanne say she was going?

She's going to Oregon.

She thinks there's some job

up there worth checking out.

I admire what you're doing for Cody.

You don't have to.

Yeah. I do.

It's a choice, Zach.

It's family.

I'm the only one left.

You get that from your mom.

Yeah, I know.

Lucky me.

Come here.

What?

Come here.

I need to go check...

He's fine. He's asleep.

He's ok. Just come here.

You sure you guys don't wanna stay?

He doesn't like waking up in strange places.

Gets enough of that when I'm not around.

Take this.

What is it?

CalArts application.

Shaun, I'm not going down this road again.

Take it.

Thanks for tonight.

Ok.

Bye.

So you gonna head back up to L.A. soon?

I'm pretty happy here.

Hey... why don't you come with me?

Yeah, right.

I'm serious.

You could come with me.

I live right near CalArts.

You're so beautiful.

Shut up!

Hey, learn to take a compliment.

Thanks.

So glad you're here.

Me too.

Yo, bro. What do you know!

Gabe!

Come on, come on!

Shaunypoo!

Where's my princess big brother?

What? You got a guy in there

Did I interrupt your beating off, or what?

No, I was sleeping.

Sleeping?

With the door locked?

Ok, weirdo...

No, hey, come here dude!

- Good to see you too, bro.

- I missed you so much.

There it is, yeah.

Dude, so what are you doing here man?

I thought you were moving into

your new place this week.

No, no. The thought of...

moving into an empty place is

just depressing, you know?

Yeah? Well it's pretty empty here.

You doing alright?

Yeah, I'm good.

- You sure?

- Yeah!

I heard it was pretty tough there for a while.

Yeah, it was tough.

Well don't worry, Romeo.

You'll find a new one.

Yeah, thanks.

So, you ready to hang up your pink Gucci suit

and come bail out with your real friends?

Yeah, ok.

Right on, I'll call Zach.

Ok, good.

Who was that?

June's probably cleaning today.

But June comes on Tuesdays.

Yes she does.

Pool guy? I dunno.

You ok?

- Yeah.

- Yeah? You look a bit freaked out.

No, I'm just tired.

- Alright.

- Just tired.

There anything good to eat in the fridge or is it stocked

with low-carb fag food cos I'm f***ing starving man.

Just a lot of fag food.

Yo, burger boy.

What up?

What are you doing down here?

Cherie's back in town for the weekend.

Told her I'd come down.

I thought there's plenty of

p*ssy in S.B.

Oh yeah. But the girls there

are f***ing teases man.

Whatever. Party's on for tonight.

Everyone's coming.

We'll go grab a quick surf sesh...

and get started.

I'm not off for another half hour.

No worries.

I already fixed your spare board.

The one you've been keeping at the house.

I saw it out back and I fixed it.

Grabbed it, patched it all up...

Oh yeah... that board.

Man, I left that there a while ago.

Whatever.

So I'll see you around five tonight?
