If you'd rather go jogging than surf skiing, no problemo.
-No, that's okay.
I wanna surf ski with you, dad.
-You know her? -Her name is Bridget bowers.
She's having a party this weekend, but I didn't get invited.
-She's heading back this way if you wanna talk to her.

-No, no, no, what's your hurry? Come on.
No, it's okay.
Excuse me.

-Oh! Oh, yeah, you're the boy that always has sand in his shoes.
-No, well -I think that's so cool.
It's like bringing the beach with you to school.

-Hey.
-How are you holding up? -Never had a better day.
-I mean about tonight, Gayle coming to town.
You nervous? -No.
No.
Hobie is really looking forward to seeing her.
-I didn't ask about how Hobie felt.
-I don't know, Steph.
I don't know how I feel anymore.
I mean, every time Gayle calls, all we do is talk about Hobie and parental things.
The whole thing is totally impersonal.
Then all of a sudden, I remember something we did together, and I I feel all this love for her.
And nothing to do with reality.
-Maybe it does.
I mean, who knows? Hobie still has his fantasy about his parents getting back together someday.
Kids don't let that dream die easily, you know.
-Maybe I'm still a kid at heart.
-I can back you up tonight if you want.
-My life is complicated enough already.
Have a nice day, huh? -Don't say I didn't offer.
-Your mother is very upset.
She feels you care more about your job than you do your family.
-Why are you putting me in this position, dad? Making me have to choose? -Because there's no way around it, Matt.
Your mother and I are moving to Europe.
Either you choose to come with us, or you don't.
-And if I don't? -If you choose to cut yourself off from the family, I'll be forced to cut you off from everything this family provides you.
And I mean everything.
-Forced by who? Who is forcing you? -You are.
By being selfish, thinking only of yourself.
-Oh, me? You're the one that's making all the decisions and not telling us.
-When you become a parent, you'll be able to make the decisions.
Until then, I'm the head of this family.
-What about love and understanding? Isn't that part of parenting? -If we didn't love you, we wouldn't care whether you came with us or not, would we? -Beautiful day, isn't it? -Yeah.
-Bye.
-Buchannon.
Hello, Mitch.
-Gayle.
Gayle, hi.
Hey, I can hardly hear you.
-I'm still in the air.
We should be landing soon.
-Great, great.
Hobie and I will meet you at the airport.
-No, no, Mitch, that's okay.
I've made arrangements.
How about I'll just meet you guys at your place around 5:00? -Yeah, yeah, that's perfect.
Gayle, Hobie can't wait to see you.
-Oh, I can't wait to see him.
-Tell me about this surprise of yours.
-I'll tell you when I see you and Hobie.
-No, no, no, tell me now.
-Bye, Mitch.
-I hate surprises.
-How are you doing? -Well, I'm excited, and I'm nervous, and I'm in love.
- Oh! -Hey, dad! Dad! Dad! -Jarred, careful.
-Sorry.
-What is it? -Well, you said you'd work for an hour and then watch me boogie board.
-And I will.
I will.
I promise.
-That was two hours ago.
Come on.
Come on.
Watch me, please! -Okay.
All right.
All right.
Hold on just a sec.
- Yeah, Wade Peterson.
- Wade, it's Sam.
-Sam! Sam, I've been trying to reach you all day.
What the hell is going on in Florida? -They canceled the order.
They wanna send the t-41 instead.
-What am I supposed to do with that? -You could stall a week or two.
-Well, gino tells me I can't get a shipment for three weeks.
I need everything in my office by Friday afternoon, or the deal falls apart.
Now, come on.
-Possible submersion, tower 10.
2-11, respond code three to possible submersion.
Tower 10.
-Matt, hurry.
We've got a submersion on tower 10.

-What's going on out there? -Not now, sir.
There's a kid in trouble.
-Matt, get a diving team here right now.
-Wait.
That's his board.
Where is he? -What did your son look like? What was he wearing? -Uh, he's 10.
Blond.
He's got black shorts on with purple, pink -Hey, I saw a kid that looked just like that behind the jetty.
Over there.
-Now, you listen to me.
What if someone was really drowning out there while all of my lifeguards were looking for you? You put people's lives in danger, son.
-I'm sorry.
-How could you have pulled such a stupid stunt, jarred? What were you thinking? Answer me.
-Well, you said we were gonna spend the day together, but you acted like I wasn't even there.
I figured maybe you'd notice if you thought I was dead.
-Mr.
Peterson? I know your work is important, but so is the time with your son.
He needs to know he's as important to you as anything else.
-I thought your lifeguard duties ended with rescue.
-Well, jarred reminds me of myself when I was his age.
I just don't want him to grow up to feel the way I do about my father.
-Yeah.
Thank you.
-Ah, there you are.
-Hey.
Mom, what happened? I thought you were job-hunting.
-I was.
I hunted them down.
I had them in my sights.
I took aim, and pfft! They all got away, every single one.
Oh, what a day! Listen, honey, I'm gonna go to the beach hut and grab a burger.
Can I get you anything? -Mom, the beach hut lost their lease.
They had to close down.
-No! That was the only decent place to get any food around here.
- Yeah, I know.
- Tell me about it.
Uh, listen, Summer, do you have a minute to talk? -No, not really.
Why? -I've been thinking about a few things.
-Something really terrible always happens when you say you've been thinking about a few things.
-Well, I've been thinking, uh We should move back to Pittsburgh.
-I knew it.
-Honey, I can't find a good job here.
I've tried.
Uncle Leo offered me a really good one back home.
-Yeah, well, mom, what about me? I mean, how am I supposed to do my job back in Pittsburgh? This is my favorite time of day, when everyone has gone home, and the beach is ours.
-Unless you don't have a home to go home to.
-What happened? Did you talk to your father? -He said if I don't move back to France with them, he's gonna cut me off.
And leave me here with nothing.
-It's a touch decision, Matt.
But you're 18-years-old, and it's your decision.
Come work out with me.
You'll feel better.
-No.
I wanna finish this.
-What is it? -A poem, lyrics.
I don't know.
-Can I read it? -It's not finished.
-I don't care.
The day was moving westward leaving colors in the sky the eastern black was chasing moving colors that had died the day was racing quickly but could not outrun the night and I rode along the seashore to the caverns of delight Matt, this is beautiful.
-Except there aren't any caverns of delight.
Listen, do you mind if I sleep at headquarters tonight? -Oh, Matt.
You really should go home and resolve this with your parents.
-I can't go home unless it's to pack my things to go to France or to move out on my own.
That was my father's ultimatum, Stephanie.
-Come on.
Let's work out.
-No.
I'm gonna go and jump on my bike.
It's the only way I can clear my head.
-If you can't find a place to crash tonight, you can stay with us.
-You think C.
J.
would mind? -Of course not.
-Thank you.
I've been walking down this line for so long and I've been wrong I've been going down this road and I know it will carry me home I know its time to go where my heart wants me to go I know its time and I've got to go alone cause I'm a free rider and now I have no fear been searching my whole life to feel like I feel here every day I breaking the chains that hold me down I can't go back in time even if I wanted to change things now I know its time to go where my heart wants me to go I know its time and I've got to go alone cause I'm a free rider and now I have no fear been searching my whole life to feel like I feel here I know I can be my self and now I feel alive cause I'm a free rider cause I'm a free rider -Hey, looking good.
Except I think you should unbutton your collar.
-I think you should button yours.
-I like it this way.
-I like it this way.
Hey, that's mom.
Mom! -Hobie, oh, it is so good to see you.
Hi.
-Hi.
You look beautiful.
-Oh, thanks.
Uh Well, the place looks great.
What did you guys do, redecorate? -Kind of.
We cleaned.
-Uh, can I get you a drink or something? -No.
No, thanks.
So how was that geography report? Did you get those maps I sent you? -Yeah, they were right-on.
I got an a.
-Aw, that's my boy.
God, you look good.
-Mitch, Ken Jordan.
Gayle has told me a lot about you.
-Ken, I -I know.
I couldn't wait in the car any longer.
Just a few minutes away from this precious woman seems like an eternity.
And you must be Hobie.
I've heard more than a lot about you.
-Hey.
Nice to meet you.
-So did you, uh, tell them our news? -No, she hasn't.
-What news? - Uh Well, you remember I told you that I had a surprise? Well, um Ken and I are getting married.
-This weekend.
-I should have told you, I know, but there was just never a good time to spill the beans.
I mean, telling you on the telephone seemed so impersonal.
And besides, I wanted Hobie to meet him.
After all, Ken is going to be his -Hobie's step-father.
I get the picture.
-I'd really like Hobie to come with us to acapulco for the wedding this weekend.
-Well, he's got a party he wants to go to.
-Yeah, yeah, he told me about it, but he said he'd rather come with us.
-Oh.
-Mitch -No, no, no.
It's no problem.
I'll drive him to the airport.
Which airline? -Uh, actually, we're flying on Ken's corporate jet.
- Oh.
He has his own jet, huh? Well, that's a nice catch.
-Ken worked very hard to get where he is.
And he happens to be very down-to-earth, and you would like him.
-I'm sorry.
I'm I'm sure he's a great guy.
Gayle, I really want you to be happy.
-I want us all to be happy.
Especially Hobie.
-Hobie is happy.
-I mean really happy.
Look, Ken could be the most wonderful influence on Hobie.
He could provide him with so much.
-You mean buy him so much? -No, that is not what I meant at all, and as usual, you're twisting my words.
-You want Hobie to come live with you, don't you? Isn't that what this whole thing is about? -Yes.
-Forget it.
-Mitch -I can't believe you're doing this.
-Look, I don't wanna do it, but But I have seen an attorney, and I will go to court if I have to.
-Is this your card? -How did you do that? -Magic.
-Dad, Ken does the coolest card trick.
Come check this out.
Ken, do one for my dad.
-All right, just one.
Go ahead.
Pick any card.
Put it back anywhere you want.
Beautiful.
Let's see this here.
Oh, that's your card? -That's it.
-Isn't that the coolest trick? -Oh, that's terrific.
Yeah.
-Uh, I hate to interrupt this magical moment here, but we've got an early day tomorrow.
-Yeah.
-Dad, Ken has his own jet.
-Yeah.
Yeah, I heard.
That's really great.
-Well, I'm glad I finally got to meet you.
Looks like we're gonna have a lot of things in common.
-Yeah, looks like it.
-Hobster, I wanna put you in the cockpit of that plane tomorrow, and you're gonna fly for a couple of miles.
-All right! Whoa! -Oh, missed you.
-I'll see you in the morning, sweetie.
-All right.
Bye bye.
-Bye.
-I'm gonna go pack.
-Wait a minute.
What are you doing teaching him our handshake? -Well, he taught me one he used to do in college.
It's really cool.
You wanna see it? -No, I don't.
-Dad? -What? -I won't go if you don't want me to.
-No, I want you to go.
God, I want you to go.
Do me a big favor, huh? -Okay.
-Fly that jet, huh? -All right.
-Okay.
-I love you, dad.
-All right.
Love you too.
-See you in the morning.
-Okay.
Mom, wait up! Mom, would you slow down? Mom, what is with you today? -Oh, Summer, I love this restaurant! -Mom, listen, the beach hut is closed.
-Oh, no, it's not.
-Yes, it is.
-No, it's not, and it is not the beach hut anymore.
It is our beach hut.
-Our beach hut? Mom, what are you talking about? -Well, I leased it.
It's ours.
-You leased this? Well, how? With what money? -Well, I had enough to put down a first and last.
I mean, it was everything that I have, but Honey, I think once we fix this place up, the money is just gonna roll in like waves.
-Oh, okay, and where do we get this money to fix it up? -Would you stop worrying? Uh, we'll do it.
Of course, we could move back to Pittsburgh.
-So what do you wanna name it? -Okay, I was thinking Jackie's at the beach.
-No.
-No? -How about a summer place? -Really bad.
Okay, how about this? Jackie's summer place? -Okay, I like that.
-Of course, the only thing is it'll probably make your job unnecessary.
Yeah, I mean, 'cause everyone will be here eating my fabulous food, and there won't be anybody on the beach for you to rescue.
-Let's just hope the lifeguards aren't here pumping people's stomachs, okay? -Oh, pumping their stomachs? -Yes.
-That's just really funny.
That's just really funny.
It's gonna be great.
I love it! -Hey, dad.
-Hey, pal.
My god.
You're going for the weekend, not forever.
-Well, you always tell me to be prepared for anything.
-Yeah, I did.
You know, pal, um I haven't really talked about how you feel about your mom marrying Ken.
-Well, you didn't tell me how you feel either.
-I asked you first.
-Okay.
Well, he's a great guy and everything.
So if she's gonna marry anyone, it might as well be him.
I asked you second.
-Well, I, uh I always knew this day would come.
But it's hard, you know.
I feel kind of sad.
I'll get over it.
-Dad.
You know I love you.
-Yeah.
I love you too.
-That's mom.
-Yeah.
Come here.
Get out of here.
You have a good time down there, huh? -All right.
-Okay.
All right, I'll bring you back something from Mexico.
-Elaine, come over here and say hi to Gayle's son, Hobie.
-Hello, Hobie.
-Hi.
Nice to meet you.
-You too.
-Elaine is our pilot.
-You're a pilot? -Yeah, 14 years in the air force.
-What did you fly? -Let's see, um, c-130s, f-16s, just about everything.
-I've never seen a plane like this one before.
It's like a room in a house.
-You wanna see the cockpit? -Definitely! -Well, come on.
Let's go.
-Great! -You happy? -Mm-hmm.
-Look, I know this has been hard for you, but Hobie needs his mother right now.
-I hope so.
-So give me a little smile.
-Whoa! Whoa! Take it easy.
Save some of that bag for the rest of us.
Looks like it didn't go so well with Gayle, huh? -Oh.
Oh, I wouldn't say that.
Gayle is marrying a millionaire who's flying her to Mexico on his private jet.
She's suing me for custody.
And Hobie taught Ken our secret handshake.
Didn't go so well? I'd say the whole thing is a complete disaster.
-I'll hold the bag for you.
-Thank you.
Ken, huh? Our secret handshake! -Hey.
-Hey.
-Wow.
You look like you need energy more than I do.
Here.
What did you do last night? -I slept at C.
J.
and -You and C.
J.
slept together? -At C.
J.
and Stephanie's.
I slept on the couch.
Or tried to.
-Well, why couldn't you sleep? What? Was C.
J.
running around in some skimpy, little nightie? -No.
I couldn't Couldn't stop thinking.
-Why? -Well, should I go to France or stay here? You know, the crazy thing is that my dad has never cared if I was around or not.
And all of a sudden, he's forcing me to go back with him.
-Matt, your dad is a control freak.
You know that.
So do not let him force you into doing anything you don't wanna do.
Besides, you are my best friend, and if you go, I am gonna miss you way too much.
I gotta go help my mom with the restaurant.
You have a good shift.
-Thanks for waking me up.
-Any time.
Lear 4-Charlie-Lima, this is Los Angeles tower.
After departure, squawk 1343.
Clear direct to one-zero thousand.
-Does this work? -Why? You wanna call one of your friends and tell them you're on a plane? -Is it okay if I call my dad? -Sure.
-Here.
There you go.
-Thanks.
-Okay, listen up.
Matt, tower 12.
Sydney, tower 8.
Chris, you're at 9.
And, Kelly, you're at tower 10.
Be very careful out there.
The storm last week created some big holes in the regular bottom contours.
A lot of rips coming, especially on the south-facing beaches.
That's it.
-Mitch, there's a phone call for you.
It's Hobie.
-Have rod patch it to the truck, huh? Morning, Tina.
-Hi, Mitch.
Hobster, didn't expect to hear from you.
What's going on? -Dad, guess what.
I'm calling you from Ken's plane.
-Hey, Hobie, that's great.
-So, what are you doing? -I just finished morning briefing.
You know, same old, same old.
-You wanna talk to mom? -Uh, no thanks, pal.
Look, I'm kind of busy here.
I gotta go.
-No, don't hang up.
I wanna talk to you from the plane.
It's so cool.
-It's Hobie calling from the airplane.
Hobie, what was that noise? -I don't know.
It sounded like one of the engines backfired or something.
Ken is gonna go check it out.
-What is all this vibration? -Engine one is shut down.
We'll have to head back to the airport.
-How bad is it? -Just get everyone in their seat belts, please.
-Hang on.
Ken is coming back.
-Ken, what is it? -We've, uh, lost an engine.
-What does that mean? -It means we're going back to the airport.
Everybody fasten your seat belts.
We might have to make an emergency landing.
-Dad, we may have to make an emergency landing.
-Hobie, that's not funny.
-It's not a joke, dad.
-Come on now.
What's going on? Hobie, are you all right? -No, dad, the plane, everything, it's really bumpy.
Dad.
Dad, I'm scared.
Dad.
-All right, Hobie, listen to me.
Just stay calm.
-The whole plane is shaking! -Are you headed back to the airport? -I don't know.
-Look out the window.
-Dad! -What do you see, pal? Do you see land, or do you see water? -Just clouds.
We've lost the other engine.
Losing altitude fast.
I'm dumping our fuel.
- Roger.
Roger.
Understand.
- Dumping fuel.
What? What? -We're going down really fast.
Roger-Lima, I show you seven miles from the beach descending through 2,000.
What are your intentions? -Gonna try to land on the water.
-Dad, we're right over the ocean.
We're gonna crash.
Dad, I'm scared.
-Hobie.
4-Charlie-Lima, be advised.
- Coast guard has been notified, and Baywatch rescue personnel are on the way.
4-Charlie-Lima, respond if you are able.
-Dad! -Hobie! -Dad! -Hobie? Hobie? -Mitch, what's wrong? -Damn it! Phone went dead.
