SPF-18 Page #4

---

I got plans to make

Hearts to break

I don't think I

can do it alone

So me and this guitar

Are gonna find me

somebody to love

I think I'm in love.

I want to make him into a body pillow.

Would you look at that?

It's art.

Whoa!

That suit is awesome.

Me and this guitar

Are gonna find me

somebody to love

There you are.

Creativity is so exhausting.

I'm gonna have to take a power

nap before my surf lesson later.

Here.

You take my car, and I'll

get a ride home with Ash.

Ash, huh?

What?

You're back.

Yeah, I had some stuff

I had to take care of.

What are you up to?

I was gonna take a nap,

but then I, like, stopped being tired.

Salt air is magic like that.

So why'd you take off last night?

I just had a lot of stuff on my mind.

And things got kind of weird with Penny.

You guys have known each other

for a long time now, right?

She really helped take care of

me when my dad died last year.

We're pretty different, you know?

I mean, things change. It's nobody's fault.

It's beautiful.

I was up all last night on

Zuma trying to figure out

whether I should go back to surfing

or throw myself into art school.

Maybe the problem is that you were awake.

What?

Have you ever heard of lucid dreaming?

I'm gonna wake up your

conscious mind during your dream,

but your body's gonna stay asleep.

You sure this isn't just the

plot of The Matrix?

Shut your eyes and relax.

You'll receive a signal

from me when you're asleep.

A tap on your nose...

that'll be the trigger, okay?

Now...

let yourself drift.

I didn't suck, did I?

You were amazing.

Do you need me to carry anything for you?

That hat full of money, perhaps?

Well, I don't know if I trust

you with my life savings just yet.

God, that felt good.

Been a while.

Just wish Grams was here to see that one.

Well, then I have happy news for you.

Did you fly Gram out, hide

her behind the trashcan?

- No, but I filmed it.

- 'Course you did.

But good luck getting it to her.

Unless your camera converts files to VHS.

She doesn't even have e-mail.

- Not even AOL?

- Not even AOL.

Well, all she's got to

do is look on YouTube.

You didn't put the video up?

And my Instagram. Not to get braggy,

but I do have a lot of followers

because of my crazy mom.

But now I can finally use

them for good... for you.

I posted it an hour ago, and I already

have eleven hundred likes on it!

- Penny...

- I know. I know,

you're secretive about your life, but this

could be a major boost for your career.

You don't know anything about my career!

You can't just insert yourself

into people's business like that.

- Just trying to help.

- Yeah, well, you just opened me up

to a whole mess of trouble.

- Ash!

- Take it all down.

You didn't have the right.

I'm dreaming.

Can I fly with you?

What did you see?

I've got it!

Is that the final step in lucid dreaming?

No, that was an actual real-time kiss.

Because?

Because it felt like we had this vibe.

You get "vibes" with every

living, breathing person you meet.

Right?

I hope you're not suggesting that I

should feel bad about being myself?

No, it's just hard to take you seriously.

You're not really that kind of person.

Gee... thanks.

Camilla, wait.

Camilla!

Jesus, I'm an idiot.

I was just got sent this from a friend

who says we should look

into signing this kid.

Who's this person who posted it?

Send a cease and desist.

And you find that kid.

Now.

Whoa, check the suit!

Hey. Yeah, I made it myself.

What's going on?

Do you take me seriously?

As a surfer? Look, you just

started. It takes years to...

No, as... as a person.

Sure I do.

You're smart.

And you have this mellow open-mindedness,

and you're way easy to talk to.

Why? Who doesn't take you seriously?

Johnny, for starters.

Johnny's a tough one.

He always has been.

Yeah, and Penny too.

I mean, she thinks I'm a flake.

Like, I can't stick with anything.

You showed up today.

- I just kissed her boyfriend.

- Okay. Whoa.

Which makes me a flake and an attempted...

homewrecker?

When you're out there waiting,

you can tie yourself up into knots,

trying to figure out what

moves you're gonna pull.

But once you get on the wave,

everything becomes pretty simple.

You know who you are. You know what to do.

What if they hate me?

Just face up to how you feel.

And to your cousin. And if you have a

thing for Johnny, face up to him too.

Stop dodging yourself. It

only makes things worse.

Have you ever considered being a therapist?

Can I get one of those

wet suits as payment?

You're destroying your dad's board?

No. I'm just making it my own.

I hope you're okay with that.

Is it an art project, or...

are you planning on

getting back into surfing?

It's not, like, a life plan.

More of a flash of inspiration.

So I sold the condo.

Mom, that is awesome. I knew you would.

And I have all the faith in

the world in you too, Johnny.

- Whatever path you choose.

- Thanks.

I know your Dad was a bit of a live wire,

but that's part of the reason

I fell in love with him.

Really?

I can't be mad at him anymore.

He loved us.

And he gave me you.

We're not the same person.

No, you're not.

But you did get some of his magic.

Sundown Records? What the hell?

Oh oh oh oh

I got plans to make

I got hearts to break

I don't think I

can do it alone

Me and this guitar

Are gonna find me

someone to love

They made you wear lip gloss?

Mom? Are you in here?

Oh, hi, hon.

You really should do this Pilates.

- It's so amazing for the core...

- Mom.

- I... I really need your help.

- For what?

I posted this video of my

friend Ash playing at the pier

and people loved it.

But then I got this e-mail

from somebody at Sundown Records

saying they're gonna sue me because

I don't own the rights to the song.

And neither does Ash. They do,

and they're trying to turn him

into some teenybopper pop star,

but that's not who he is.

- I was just trying to help...

- Slow down.

If you're gonna do a

monologue, you have to breathe.

You know, it reminds me. A few years ago,

there was a storyline where my

character became a secret rock star.

And then when she wanted

to reveal her true identity,

the label didn't want her to.

So she made a video, which is

something that you could do!

Mom, are you even listening to me?

I made a video!

No, I mean, you can make a real one.

With a song that they don't own.

I mean, you know your way

around a camera already.

You're practically a director.

Okay, so say I do, then what?

Well, then you just let the fans decide

which version of your friend they prefer.

Then the label will have to listen.

Actually, not a bad idea.

You see? I'm not totally

useless as a mother.

Why would you say that?

Well, you've never come

to me for help before.

I thought you were embarrassed by me.

I don't know. Sometimes

it just seems like...

you wanted a daughter that's more like you.

Oh, please.

I always knew that you were going to grow

up to be a thousand times better than me.
