The Perfect Wave Page #3

Check this out.

It's wave rock.

- What?

- Yeah.

- That's incredible. That's a rock?

- Yeah.

"After surviving the outback,

we finally made it to Darwin.

Surfed two days

with barely any swell.

Now it's completely flat

and there's nothing to do.

We're off to indo this

afternoon.

Life is great on the road.

Ian."

Look at him.

He's having such a good time.

Can't say I'm not jealous, mom.

Eh, you'll get there, Michael.

You're doing it the right way.

I miss him.

Oh.

When do you think

he's gonna come home?

Oh, when he runs out of cash

and calls us for a ticket.

Swing, swing,

I'm turning back again

Can you hear my heart beat?

Swing, swing,

I'm turning myself in

Apathy has stung me

Swing, swing,

I'm turning to you

Relight my candle flame

Swing, swing,

I'm turning back again

Restart this still heart

'Cause I don't know

why I fell so far down

Tilting on down for you

And I don't know

why my heart lives

But it's still life

without you

Swing, swing,

my head is back now

My eyes are opening

to the light

What I'm seeing here

A million changes in your

lives

A million changes

on their faces

Can you hear them smiling?

A heart worth living for

A life worth dying for...

I'm so glad you're here.

You've been a great friend.

I wanna do something crazy

while I'm here.

I don't know, be romanced or...

Go on an awkward date followed by a long,

cheesy walk on the beach.

I tried to romance you once.

I got barred.

- Barred... what does that even mean?

- You know, like, shot down.

We're much better as friends.

Yeah, I got that.

I don't know, I feel like...

I feel like I'm ready.

Ready to move on.

Yeah?

I don't know, I saw this guy

on the beach

and it just made me think

about things.

There was something

about him that was...

I don't know, just special.

Little Anna's coming out of her

box.

Yeah, I guess.

Bali... what an amazing place.

I have to share this

with my family.

Michael's gotta see

some of these waves.

Saw you surfing yesterday.

And I saw you

save that little boy's dog.

That was you watching us.

- I like surfers.

- Ah. I'm a surfer.

Yeah, I know.

How do you like indo?

I like it a lot.

What are you doing tomorrow?

Uh, probably surfing.

This is where I'll be.

Come find me.

- Anna, you ready?

- Yep.

In a place like this

it's easy to get lost in the moment.

A beautiful culture,

new and exotic.

Awakening the senses

and the whole body.

It is so different from anything

I've ever seen in my entire life.

The culture and values here

are so different, so foreign.

Great beauty and terrible

poverty exist side by side.

And some of their idol worship

makes no sense to me.

Can a beggar

be crowned a prince

In the courtroom

of the king?

Hey.

Shh. Can't you see I'm busy?

You told me to come, remember?

- I did?

- Yeah.

I must be crazy.

You know I don't even know

your name?

I'm Annabel.

Ian.

Nice to meet you.

Same.

- Should I show you around?

- That would be nice.

With beauty adored

Eternal love

The other side of the story...

So is this your thing?

I find peace here.

Yeah.

- It's beautiful.

- Mm-hmm.

Were you surprised to see me?

Nope.

- Well, I kinda had to come.

- Why?

I had to know

who that other guy was.

Who? My date?

- Your date?

- Mm-hmm.

You picked me up on a date?

Yeah.

I'm trouble.

What?

Yeah, I can see that.

What did you tell him?

- That I'm trading up.

- Tra...

and that I'm leaving tomorrow.

Where are you going?

There's this tiny island I know.

I mean, it's literally paradise.

Great surf, perfect beaches.

It's just a lot better

when you're not alone.

I was hoping you'd go with me.

Me?

You don't even know me.

No.

Well, thank you.

Um...

But... I can't.

I'm traveling with my buddy

and I can't just bail on him.

I'll change your mind.

Eternal love

The other side of the story

Eternal love...

Dude, what were you doing

at that temple this morning?

Dude, the waves were pumping.

You missed out on everything.

I know, I know, you told me.

Dude,

what are you thinking about?

Oh, my...

- Hi.

- Hi. You must be Greg.

- Hi.

- Hi.

Anna!

Hey, how you doing?

- I'm mark.

- Ian.

- Hey.

- Greg.

Nice to meet you, man.

Come dance with me.

Let me see your moves.

It's beautiful here.

Yeah, it's amazing.

I can't believe how peaceful

I feel right now.

Come to the island with me.

- I mean, we'll have so much fun.

- Okay.

Those kinds of places you just...

you just need somebody...

- you said, "okay"?

- I said, "okay."

You said, "okay!"

You dipping out on me?

Man...

- Dude, I think I'm going crazy.

- It's that chick, isn't it?

Dude...

I think I'm falling in love with

her.

I would, too,

if she had gone for me.

I thought you were gonna

be mad at me.

- I didn't know how to tell you.

- Nah.

We're just gonna go

to this island for a week.

- You can come if you want to.

- Nah, I'm gonna stay here.

- It's all good.

- Really?

What about Bruce's beauties?

I'm down to go.

Couple weeks?

- Meet up?

- Yeah.

- Really?

- We'll meet up in j-bay.

Yes! God, I thought

you were gonna be so mad.

I cut like truth

Any of my thoughts

'Cause even if I try to

Deeper into light I fall

And I fall

Like a perfect wave for you

Promise that you'll never go

We could watch the world

move round

Teach me everything to know

'Cause I've been lost so long

Deeper into light I fall

And I fall...

So, what do you think

about this place?

I love it.

And what about

your perfect wave?

Well, I guess you could say

I got distracted.

- By me?

- You? Little old you? No.

- No? It wasn't me?

- Mm-mm.

And I fall

Like a perfect wave for you

Oh, man.

Bruce's beauties.

Yeah!

- Roxy?

- Hey!

- You remember me.

- Yeah.

- How could I forget?

- Easy, big guy.

I know your reputation

with the ladies.

I'm not as bad as you think.

Where's Ian? I thought you two

were traveling together.

Yeah, he ditched me

for some girl.

- And you?

- Nah, I came here alone.

You wanna hang out

later on today?

I'd love to.

Enjoy your surf.

- Thanks.

- See you at the club tonight, then.

All right, kiddo.

You ready to learn how to surf?

Before you can stand out there,

you gotta learn to stand here.

So I want you to get on the

board.

I want you to learn

how to pop up to your feet.

Okay, that was horrible.

There you go.

Pop!

- Hmm... wider feet.

- Show me what to do!

You show me,

Mr. I know everything.

- Stagger, pop.

- Oh, you make it look easy.

- Yeah, I know.

- Ready?

Yeah. Come on.

This is no fashion shoot.

Get going, girl.

There we go!

That's the best one I've seen.

- You ready?

- I got it. I'm... yeah, um... Sure.

Yeah, yeah!

Thatta girl.

Not bad for a beginner.

Yeah, the stamps where...

What's the 1500 like? The...

Yeah, well, they were...

I just really liked 'em

because they were different.

Very connected.

Wow, you're quite the artist.

I have my moments.

Is that you?

Self-portrait?
