Soul Surfer Page #3

- No. Come on. You can't move!

- Just let me get out of here!

- You can't walk!

- Get me out of here!

- No!

Talk to me. Gotta stay with me.

Keep looking at my eyes, okay?

Where's my family?

They're on their way.

They're gonna meet us at the hospital.

- She's going into hypovolemic shock.

- We're almost there.

Breathe deep.

Mom, the car!

Stay with me.

Cheri, it happened so fast...

- Traumatic amputation. Severe loss of blood.

- I'm here, baby, I'm right here.

- Blood pressure 70 over 40 and dropping.

- I'm right here.

Up, up! Get her in here. Move!

Come on! Follow it back.

- Let's go! Stay with us!

- Hang in there. Bethany, you'll be okay!

What's happening?

- Get her in a bed.

- Move her into bay three!

Come on, Bethany.

Stay with us, stay with us.

- What's happening?

- Bethany!

Mom?

Hi, sweetheart. I'm right here.

Hey.

We're all here.

It hurts.

Okay.

- Noah, get the doctor.

- Yeah, I got it.

I'm a little thirsty.

- Okay.

- Got it.

Dad, please don't cry.

I'm not crying.

I'm going to be okay.

I know.

Hey there, kiddo.

How you holding up?

Pretty good, thanks to you.

I guess I ruined your surf shirt, huh?

Well, I never liked that one anyway.

Why don't you just concentrate

on getting better, okay?

Thank you.

You were amazing out there.

You were the one who kept me calm.

You never...

You never let go.

You are incredibly brave, Bethany.

Where's Alana?

She's... She's at home. With her mother.

She's...

She's still a little freaked out.

But, you know, she'll be better

knowing that you're going to be okay.

So...

Hey.

How's my favorite patient?

You say that to everyone.

I mean it when I see you.

I'll wait outside. I'll see you later.

So, I understand you're feeling

some discomfort.

- Yeah.

- Well, that's normal.

There's going to be a lot of pain

because of the trauma that you endured.

Not to mention the fact

that you've lost over 60% of your blood.

You're going to be feeling kind of lousy

for the next few days, kid.

Now here's the thing, Bethany.

The things that you're going to have to learn

to do differently is extensive.

But the good news.

Those things you're not gonna be able to do

is small.

I'm so proud of you.

I'll tell you something.

She is a living miracle.

Thanks, David.

- Hey, sleepy head.

- Hi.

How you feeling?

I've been better.

When can I surf again?

Are you busy right now?

Kind of.

Soon.

How do you know?

Because you can do all things...

- Through him who gives me strength.

... through him who gives me strength.

Noah, eat your food.

It's gross. I'm not hungry.

Eat it. Mine's fine.

I said, I'm not hungry.

Well, if you didn't want it,

why'd you let me pay for it then?

Fine. I'll pay you back.

I think you two should calm down.

I am calm.

- We're not doing this.

- Doing what?

Life's got to go on

- the way it's always gone on.

- What you talking about?

Life is not going to go on

the way it has always gone on.

- Will you stop arguing?

- No, he's arguing with me.

- Everyone's yelling at everyone.

- Stop it. Stop it!

Hey, sweetheart. It's a dream, okay?

Just a dream, that's all.

Just a dream.

It wasn't a dream!

It was real.

You should go see her. You know that?

You need to go see her.

...was resting on her surfboard

in the ocean off Hawaii,

when, suddenly, a shark bites off her arm.

The girl doesn't even scream,

and her composure may have saved her life.

You're pretty much on every channel.

Hey!

- Where have you been?

- You know, at home, living it up.

How have you been?

I thought you were going to die out there.

So, are you still going to do

that Rip Curl photo shoot?

They wanted me to.

But I told them I couldn't do it without you.

But that's crazy.

You've been nuts for that shoot.

You have to do it.

- Really?

- Yeah. Of course.

Do it for both of us.

You're not going to believe

how great the house smells.

Plants are everywhere.

More flowers have been delivered

than there are growing on the entire island.

Dr. Rovinsky said that I can get back

in the water as soon as my stitches come out.

Can we try a shower first?

- That's so cool. Who did that?

- Everybody.

The bite on Bethany Hamilton's surfboard

was 16 inches long and 8 inches wide.

...currently searching for a shark

believed to be responsible

for the attack on Bethany Hamilton.

It's okay.

Hey! Hey! Hey!

Hey! Get out of here!

Where's Dad?

Bethany!

I said leave!

Noah! Noah!

- Just get back in the house.

- Dad...

Unlock the back door.

- Bethany, is this...

- Come on, get out of my way!

Excuse me! Pardon me!

Excuse me! Excuse me.

- I've got it from here, honey. Scoot over.

- What are you gonna do?

Nice driving, 007.

You know what?

I never liked those bushes anyway, Dad.

Come on, Bethany, I got you.

- Give me your bag.

- I didn't know you could drive like that.

Neither did I.

So what do we do now?

Remember when we brought Noah home

from the hospital?

He was our first baby

and we had no clue what to do.

It's the same thing.

We'll take it day by day.

- That's so messed up.

- I wish they would go away.

Ginger! Hi, girl!

I know, I know, I know.

I know. It's still me.

Ginger!

Who's up for sandwiches?

Sounds so good, I'm starving.

- Noah?

- Yeah, sure.

Okay, where's my Spam?

- Mexico.

- All of it?

I got it. I got it, sweetie.

- Sorry, Mom.

- It's okay.

- Here, let me grab that.

- You want to get some bread, love?

Yeah.

- I need to go unpack.

- Are you sure?

I have some good news to share.

What news?

Holt got a call from that show, Inside Edition,

and they want to give Bethany

a prosthetic arm.

Wait, wait, wait.

She's been home for five minutes.

- They're gonna pay for the entire thing.

- When did you talk to a TV show?

And it's custom made.

Will it look normal?

- I would think so.

- Awesome.

Can they make one I can surf with?

What does she have to do?

All she has to do is give a brief interview,

wearing the arm.

Check out my sister the celebrity.

- You don't have to do this.

- No. I want to.

Yeah, yeah, I'll do it.

So, it's settled.

Hey, wait. Let's give thanks.

That arm could not come soon enough.

Because trying to make do with only one,

even harder than it sounds.

I mean, fixing your hair

is not exactly rocket science.

Unless you've only got one arm.

Then it might as well be a mission to Mars.

Every day of my life,

for as far back as I could remember,

I was in the water.

And now,

I couldn't even put my bathing suit on.

Almost everything seemed to be a challenge.

But what scared me most,

was that I might not be able to surf again.

It's so sad.

Mommy, what happened to that girl's arm?

I'm sorry.

Should I go?

Or do you want to do this together?

It's up to you.

Stay.

Okay.

It's looking great.

It's healing nicely. You all right?

There you go.

It's going to look better

once the stitches are out.

Is she okay?

You okay?

Hey! I just got back from Mexico.

I'm so glad you're okay.
