Surfer, Dude Page #5

Synopsis: Steve Addington is the world's preeminent surfer - cool, laid back, stoned, shirtless and barefoot, living off endorsements for surfboards and trunks, paid in cash. In Malibu his endorsement contract has been bought by Eddie Zarno, a surfer turned businessman who wants Steve to record his moves for an electronic virtual reality game. Steve just wants to surf. While Zarno tries to change Steve's mind, the Pacific goes calm - there are no waves for days on end. Steve's attracted to Danni, recently fired by Zarno, but the lack of surfing drains him. Plus, he's low on dough. Will he sign with Zarno, get paid, and lose his self-respect?

All right, I'm gonna

go thread it up,

but I gotta pass

on the weed, though.

I'm fasting.

Yeah.

What's so special about surfing?

Steve:

What's so special about the wind?

Surfing is to...

be with that mystery,

to ride that mystery

for as long as you can.

And when it's over, that's cool,

'cause you know you were there...

in line and on time.

# Why she does #

# What she does... #

- Steve:
Feel that?

- What?

See that?

No.

They're coming.

They're coming.

Waves are coming.

We're surfing.

We are surfing tomorrow.

Yeah!

# Right now

a ripple would be fine #

# She make me fall

so in love #

# She got me riding

so high #

# Test my patience

just because #

# She knows that she's

the only one #

# That's on my side, yeah #

# Why she does #

# What she does. #

Good morning.

'Morning.

Sorry.

Think we could

head back soon?

I feel bad about Stacey's truck.

Slow, wide turns, brother.

Espero que encuentras lo que buscas.

Later, bro!

Reporter on radio:

We've gone from a low-pressure system

to a no-pressure system

in the Northern Hemisphere.

There is nothing new to report but

a possible record-breaking amount

of days without waves.

Once again, folks,

pray for surf.

Hey, you know how to get

a dude to go surfing?

Not a clue.

You just say, "Dude, it's going off."

It's going off.

You can't forget

the "dude" part.

Lets someone know what kind of dude

is asking them to go surfing.

Dude. Okay.

Got it.

Later, East Coast.

Was he good?

I'm serious.

Then what are you talking about?

Why are you here?

It's Steve Addington.

You've got to get on that again

at least once.

Shut up.

No, seriously,

you gotta keep on hitting that

until the hitting is done.

Vic:

Whoa, a dustbowl.

Addington?

- Yoo-hoo!

- Yo, Add?

Vic:

Me, I sweat like a bear in Panama.

What kind of world, right,

that kicks a...

kicks a man out of his house?

Are you cool?

I'm really moved...

you dudes came over.

Love and waves...

that's what we need

in these dark days, man,

is love...

and waves.

And some hairy buds, bro.

And some hairy bud, man.

Uh, cops behind us.

- Be cool, man.

- Be cool.

All:

Be cool, be cool, be cool.

Be cool, be cool, be cool.

Be cool.

F***!

Uh... uh, I'm pulling over.

- Somebody bail with the weed.

- Hey!

Man:
Too fast... too fast, dude.

Too fast, too fast.

- They'll deport me.

- Dude.

Vic:

On three, we scatter.

One, two, three!

Ahh.

Policeman:

Hey, litterbug, found your marijuana.

Policeman #2:

Is it yours?

Technically, no.

Freeze, hippie!

- Don't you lie to us.

- All right, all right, man.

You're right.

It is mine.

I was holding it.

I tossed it.

Yeah, it's mine.

Aren't you Steve Addington?

- What?

- That famous surfer?

Yeah.

You suck, b*tch!

That's right, mamao!

It's Lupe!

I pimped you, b*tch!

Someone tell me what the f***

is going on.

Come on, bro, I need you to

pick it up a little bit here.

All right? We're gonna

make some money with this sh*t.

Call me a "beaner" or something.

Liven up, dude. Come on.

You dudes are in on this?

- Waves, man.

- Nothing but waves.

- In a game, man.

- Free Surfer, dude.

All the time, all day.

Man, it's some kind

of digital alchemy.

Baker:

Yeah yeah yeah! Barrels of love, baby.

- Vic:
Where you wanna go, man?

- Aw, dudes.

It is Lupe time!

Where you going, papi?

It's okay...

grass grows, birds fly

and Addington runs from my beauty.

It's okay. It's an easy thing to

run from 'cause I'm so gorgeous!

A little rain, storm clouds, low front...

you know, perfect.

So it's a great

business opportunity,

but the guy's a real

wheeler-dealer, right?

Yes, he's a scumbag,

but his business model is strong.

He's perfectly positioned, really.

All:

Oh, Addington, Addington...

- Are you shitting me?

- Yes, he says he wants to talk.

- He's at the main gate now.

- Ha!

All right, all right.

Get the contracts ready.

- Get the cameras ready too.

- Okay.

Yes!

Addington... I love this guy.

Okay, we're gonna need you to

sign here, here and here.

And I do this, you...

turn it all back on, right?

I mean, the travel card,

the checks?

You live in my house

for the last two weeks,

you let me digitize you

for Free Surfer, dude,

I will put you back on

your throne of cool.

Pick a break,

anywhere in the world,

you're on a plane

the day we wrap.

What about my brothers?

They come too?

On the house.

How about Jack?

I'm not signing sh*t

until I know he's out.

Good. He just left processing...

all the charges have been dropped.

- Jacko?

- Hey, Add.

Man, you free?

Ha ha, yeah, bro!

I'm free. Thank you.

I don't know what you did,

but, boom... they let me out.

I'm gonna sign

these contracts, Jack.

Dude... dude, don't sign anything.

Don't sign...

I would rather go back to jail, Add.

If I beg you on my knees... I'm not

on my knees 'cause it's concrete, dude,

but do not... do not sign

those contract...

Add? Add?

You're doing the right thing,

my friend.

Mm-hmm.

Yeah.

Let's do it, man.

Come in.

Danni?

Man:
Okay, Mr. Addington,

you have a favorite break?

Any break in the world.

Oh, yeah.

Uh, and what is it?

I'm not telling you, dude.

Oh.

Okay.

I'll just pick one.

So act naturally

and if you feel any nausea,

dizziness or pain in the chest,

let us know.

Here we go.

# Whooo! #

He sees it. You ready?

Come on, pop it, man.

# Whoo! #

Come on. Come on.

What the f*** is he doing?

- # Whooo! #

- Addington?

No no, Addington...

What...

Addington?

God damn it.

Addington!

God damn it!

- F***.

- Ahhh!

He f***ing bailed.

# Whooo! #

No no no no!

Where is he going?

God damn it!

Come on, get a camera.

Find his f***ing ass now.

# Whooo! #

Farmer Bob?

How many are there?

You wanted them roaming free,

so there they are...

roaming free.

Dude...

- who mows your grass?

- Hmm?

They do.

At ease, at ease.

Carry on.

So where's Addington, huh?

Besides his nuts, I mean,

which I got right here.

Mr. Simons is here...

with another gentleman.

- Mr. Sim...

- Mm-hmm.

Wait.

- New York Simons?

- Mm-hmm.

- He's here?

- Mm-hmm.

We were as surprised

as anybody,

but Mr. Martin made the offer

and they jumped at it.

- Happened just like that.

- All... all right.

Well, what happens now?

Your company falls under

Mercer's DSK Enterprises.

Yeah, this is good.

This is very good.

Growth is good. You got

the muscle to move some product here.

That's what

I've been talking about. Huh?

What do you know about

the surfing industry, Mr. Martin?

- Not much. Nn-nnh.

- Nnn?

Tell me about Steve Addington.

Steve Addington?

Well, he's a big-name surfer.

Little difficult to work with,

but I own...

well, we own his image

and image is reality,

so we own his reality.

Just gotta squeeze it

a bit harder, that's all.

From what I hear,

Mr. Addington is surfing.

And more importantly,

he's cool and cool sells.

And when you defame and

slander Mr. Cool,

well, that's bad for business.
