SPF-18

---

When you grow up in LA,

real life and the movies

can get a little mixed up.

Just ask 18-year-old

Sagittarius Penny Cooper.

As the daughter of a

sort of famous actress,

Penny learned the only way

to get her mom's attention

was to film her.

Soon, she filmed everything,

even this cockapoo.

Penny spent all of high school

pining for class Casanova

Johnny Sanders Jr.

Can you blame her? But they

were always just friends.

Like some of us, Penny

was a late bloomer.

Last year, when Johnny

lost his father,

he needed a shoulder to cry on,

and Penny was there for him.

Romance blossomed

like a golden poppy,

which happens to be the

California state flower.

Is that still recording?

But now, high school is over.

Penny's thoughts are on

her future at Northwestern,

but they're also on Johnny,

and the uncertain status

of their relationship.

What will become of them?

Could you shut it off?

We're not the Kardashians.

I wish I could tell her,

"Penny, relax.

It's all just beginning.

You're only young once,

so go have some fun.

And one more thing...

don't forget your sunscreen."

- Hello?

- And just like that...

- Hey, coz!

- ...a force blew in,

hotter than the Santa Ana winds.

I'm coming.

Did you just fly in

from boarding school?

Yeah, and thank God I'm out of there.

There was just something

about the energy at that place

that wasn't totally right for me.

Maybe it was too strict?

I just felt like...

the thinking there had

become too linear, you know?

"Camilla, where do you see

yourself after graduation?"

I don't know, that sounds like

a pretty reasonable question.

Weren't you supposed to be

spending the summer in Italy?

Dude, it's your mom's fault.

She asked me to come here.

She wants to help... brainstorm

plans for my gap year.

Why is this the first

time I'm hearing about it?

Maybe she wanted me to be a surprise?

Or maybe she just loves you more than me.

I am a lot more fun.

Johnny probably shouldn't

be driving a motorcycle,

but he inherited it from his

dad after the surfing accident.

He hasn't been in the water since.

But now, something "excellent"

is pulling him back to the beach.

"Johnny, mi casa es su casa.

Make this the best

summer of your life.

Keanu."

That's what you wore to prom?

What's wrong with it?

Well, now I understand

why you're still a virgin.

Yeah, but then I thought

about it after, and I was like,

why does my first time

have to be on prom anyway?

It doesn't.

Hello? Is Camilla here?

- Aunt Faye!

- God, I've missed you!

It's like having my own

daughter out of the country.

- I'm right here.

- You won't believe what happened on the show today.

Turns out, I'm a triplet, and

one of me is a man named Bob.

Well, you look sharp.

Hands off. This is for

people with money to burn

on the condo I'm showing at 3:00.

Well, I hope you sell it.

Me too. We need this one.

So, I was at Keanu's house today.

Oh, yeah?

How's he doing?

Well, I've been meaning

to tell you, he asked me

if I could house-sit for him

while he's shooting in Morocco.

House-sit?

He said I could invite my friends over.

There's going to be plenty of food so you

wouldn't have to worry about feeding me.

But you have summer school here.

What are you going to do, drive from Malibu

to the Valley every day?

I'm not going to summer school, Mom.

But if you don't get your credits,

there goes your Art Center scholarship.

I have a year to get them.

Does Keanu just want you to move to

the beach and spend the summer surfing?

No. You don't have to worry about me.

I'm not Dad.

I love you.

I'm gonna go pack up some of my stuff.

You want to save me a cookie?

Meanwhile, in Tennessee,

a fledgling songbird was

trying to find his wings

in the cutthroat world

of country music.

Well I never

Had a brother

My old man didn't

stick around

I got stacks of books

I ain't ever

Gonna read

And I guess I'm

Getting restless in this

Old forgotten town

Killer. Loved it.

But what do you say we try a couple my way?

With the sax?

No, I told you already, kids hate sax.

I'm pretty attuned to

shifts in peoples' energies,

and I'm sensing a bit of hostility

flowing from you towards your mother.

- She infuriates me.

- Why?

I don't know, let's start with

all the boy toys she brings home

after they play waiters on her show?

The raging self-absorption...

Hello, girls. What do you think? Am I a 10?

Or an 11?

Aww, cute.

Is that Keanu Reeves?

Yeah, he was friends with Johnny's dad.

I'd still hit that.

He used the word "romantic."

I get why you like this guy.

He wants your first time to be momentous.

Well...

he doesn't know it's my first time.

Maybe... you should come

with, for moral support.

You gotta put on your big girl swimsuit.

Wait, let me see it first.

You look like a nun

competing in the Olympics.

Give me your scissors.

Whoa, what are you doing?

You sure it doesn't look too much

like a tiger tried to undress me?

Mm-mm.

Ready to go!

And don't worry, when the time

comes and you give me the signal,

I'll disappear.

Like a sex ghost.

Okay.

I'm committing to this! I'm

doing it! I'm doing Johnny.

You're making sex sound like cutting bangs.

I'm gonna wait till it's moody and dark,

put on a slow jam.

Maybe start with a little of this...

Ah, a little... a little shoulder?

Why not?

Okay. Okay, pull over.

We have to talk about this

before you embarrass yourself.

Okay.

What if I hit him with this one?

That's something.

- Yeah?

- You want my best advice?

There you go.

And what? Now I like...

run this down his chest or something?

No, the pony's for you.

You want to get your hair out of

the way for when you're, you know,

- rolling around.

- Okay.

So you do a lot of rolling around?

I mean, you can if you want.

The point is, you want to...

feel comfortable and have fun.

You can do that, right?

So I don't have to hit him with this one?

Damn!

Hey!

- Watch it, losers!

- Did you get it?

God!

So, does Johnny even know who I am?

I think I may have told him the story

about how you slept with your French tutor.

And his girlfriend.

- Hey!

- Hi.

I hope you don't mind, I

invited my cousin, Camilla.

Your cousin?

Howdy, cowboy.

Is this the one you said was such a flake?

I heard that!

- Thanks a lot.

- I'm sorry.

Somebody call a doctor,

because this house is sick!

Holy shi...

What Penny didn't tell

Camilla about prom night

is that her nerves got the best

of her, and the moment passed.

But now she finds herself here,

standing on Keanu Reeves'

deck overlooking the Pacific,

ready for her second chance.

Hey, Penn.

That's some swimsuit.

Thanks.

It's new, kind of.

Well, you look beautiful.

So do you think you're going

to surf while you're out here?

Hey, humans.

Hey. Do you guys want smoothies?

Sounds good.

Um, hello?

Put the camera away.

Be present in the actual world.

Virgin daiquiris.

- Thank you.

- Oh.

- Fitting.

- Huh?

Isn't this relaxing? I
