-Hey Summer! -Hey Ethan.
-Are you coming to my party with Matt or Slade? -Matt, Slade's still somewhere in Barbados.

I just saw him doing 360 airs off sunset beach.
Fighting always fighting with my back against the wall my fear was rising flying now I'm flying I'm back where I belong there's no denying make the choice, just make the call why can't we have it all? Love's a losing game our hearts remain the same but now she's torn can't find her way she just can't make up her mind make up her mind But now she's torn can't find her way she just can't make up her mind -Summer, I can't believe you're here.
-I can't believe you're here.
Why didn't you call me or anything? -I wanted to surprise you.
-Well you did.
-I miss you.
-Um, so how does it feel being a big international surfing champion? -It's great, but this feels better.
-I wanna sail every sky, from valley to bora bora, from the kremlin to Katmandu.
You name it.
Come with me.
-Right.
-I'm serious CJ.
Can you imagine a more exciting adventure? Come sail the skies with me.
-Well I can see why you're such a good advertising executive.
-I'm giving it all up.
Do the same.
Come with me.
-We've gone out twice, Simon.
We hardly know each other.
-I know all I need to know about you CJ.
Promise me you'll at least think about it.
-Fine, but the answer is absolutely, definitely Almost no.
-Almost.
I detect a chink in that armor.
-I gotta get to work.
Bye.
Oh, and thanks for today.
It was fun.
It was interesting.
-I'll call you later.
-Mimi, what are you talking about? Your hip? -My hip is much worse than your legs, Rose.
-Oh please, my legs are so numb I don't even feel 'em when I walk.
-I don't know what you're complaining about because if I step wrong, my hip goes out and I fall.
What do I do about that? -Well that's because you -Hey! Hey! -You would love me to look like an invalid, wouldn't you? -You are so vain.
You'd rather fall and break your hip.
-Rose, if you were as pretty as I am, you'd be vain too.
-You know you're dropping a stitch.
-What'd he do? -I think that's the toad that's been snatching purses up and down the beach.
Stop that.
What's wrong with you? -When are you gonna learn that the sand is a lifeguard's domain anyway? -If I'd had my horse, he'd never gotten to the sand.
-Still wanna play cowboy cop huh? -Let me tell you something.
You put me on horseback, and I'll clean up this area like Wyatt earp cleaned up tombstone.
-Yeah, well who's gonna clean up after the horse? People go barefoot out here.
-Small price to pay Mitch, a small price.
Mounted patrol, that is the answer.
Horses don't run out of gas.
I'm gonna get it done if it's the last thing I do.
-Hey Molly.
-Hi CJ.
-Hey, there's one.
-Excuse me.
I'm sorry.
I didn't mean to get sand on you.
Well, great day, huh? -Sorry, come on.
-Okay, all right.
Take it easy.
-Tower 18, Parker.
Simon, my boss is coming.
I can't talk to you.
Simon, I can't take personal calls here.
No, I will not fly to Hawaii with you.
Don't call me anymore, okay? I gotta go.
I gotta go.
My boss is coming.
You're bugging me.
Will you stop it? Hi! -Hi.
Who's that? -Oh, I reported a lost child, but they found him, so it's okay.
What's up? -I don't know.
Think we're about to find out.
-Lifeguard, can you help us? What's wrong? -Someone stole my purse.
It was right there, and then it disappeared.
-I didn't take my eyes off the beach.
-Call Garner.
What the -What's the problem? -Ah, we just had a serious ordinance violation.
-Wait, wait wait.
You called me here on an ordinance violation? -No, I called you here because these ladies' purses were stolen.
You committed the ordinance violation.
-What? -What the hell is this thing doing on the beach anyway? People could be trampled out there.
-Oh never, my dad owned a horse ranch in Georgia.
I learned to ride horses before I learned to walk.
You and your lifeguard trucks are far more dangerous than me and Kojak here.
Now you ladies tell me exactly what happened.
-Oh, uck.
Uh, your horse dropped something.
Kojak huh? Telly savalas never did that.
-Now you behave yourself.
You understand? -Seems like the purse snatcher you ran down this morning wasn't the one we were after.
-I ran down.
You were the one who was after him.
-Stop.
Go! -Look ladies, can you describe the men who dropped their property near your towels? -I'll be back.
-Ah look, I gotta back CJ up.
Tie up Kojak will ya? -Hang on.
-Sally, you all right? -I'm okay.
-Good anticipation out there.
-Thanks.
-Amazing isn't it? -What? -How a highly trained professional can spot a potential problem before it happens to someone else, but not to yourself.
-What's that supposed to mean? -Simon, the hot air balloon man.
With emphasis on hot air.
-I'm aware of the problem.
Believe me.
I already told Simon to leave me alone.
He got the message.
-No he didn't.
-Yes he did.
-No he didn't.
As a matter of fact, he's giving you the message, and it's about 40 feet long I'd say.
-Tough workout, huh? -I needed it, what's up? -Nothing.
-Nothing? -Nothing much.
-Yeah right.
-Matt! What? -I saw your happy reunion with Slade.
-Come on, Matt.
I was totally stunned.
I mean, I haven't talked to the guy in months, and then all of a sudden, there he was.
-Did you tell him about us? -No, i-- -why not? -What was I supposed to say? Oh it's great to see you after four months, and by the way, while you were gone your best friend and I fell in love? -Well that's what happened isn't it? -Well if you think it's so easy then why don't you tell him? -Well, one of us should before he finds out from somebody else.
That's if there's anything to tell, is there? -Yes Matt, there is.
You just gotta give me a little time to figure out what I'm gonna say, okay? -Slade! Hey bro.
I hear you went off overseas, man.
-I hang in there.
How's it going Ethan? -No complaints bro.
-All right.
-Come on, let's go for a surf.
-Ah, I can't, I gotta register for class.
-Back in class? All right.
Oh hey man listen, Saturday night, having a party at my house.
Be there okay? -All right.
I'll check with Summer.
-I wouldn't waste time on that, man.
-Why not? -Nothing man, it's-- -hey, answer the question.
-Really, it's nothing bro.
-Why shouldn't I waste my time with Summer? -Slade, while you were gone, Summer, she and Matt, they've been going out.
- Jimmy, you scared me.
-Yeah, well what I just heard scared me.
-Yeah? What did you hear? -A little story about you and Matt.
So is it true? -Jimmy, we need to talk, about a lot of things.
But I can't right now, because I'm on duty.
So can it wait? -Summer, I thought we had something special.
-We did, you know, and then you left.
I got exactly one phone call and two postcards.
What was I supposed to do? -Wait, like I did.
-Wait? Is that what you did? Wait? -Yeah, that's what I did.
-You know, you don't know how many times people came up to me with these surfing magazines with pictures of you winning these tournaments surrounded by girls in little thong bikinis.
-Sure I had opportunities, but I didn't cheat on you, not once.
-You know, Matt and I, we didn't plan this behind your back.
It just kinda happened.
I mean, maybe it wouldn't of if you-- -you're right.
I should've written.
I should've called more.
I'm sorry.
-So am I.
-So what now? -I don't know.
Are you lost? Come on.
Let's find your mom.
-You jumped on my wave, man.
-You dropped in on something that meant a hell of a lot more to me than a wave.
-Only after you gave up on it.
-Hey, Summer and I were still going out.
You don't do that to a friend.
-Slade, whatever happened between Summer and me doesn't have to ruin our friendship.
Come on, man.
You must have gone out with a bunch of girls while you were surfing the globe.
-No.
I was there to surf.
That's all.
I'd never do what you did.
-Well I would've never done what you did.
-Me? -Yeah, you.
I would've never dumped Summer for this.
Come on! Are you okay? You okay Slade? -Yeah.
-I'm sorry, man.
The wave just knocked me over.
-It's not your fault.
I started it, and I got what I deserved.
-You didn't deserve what I did.
Look, I'll back off.
-No, Summer chose you.
You're the one she wants.
-No.
We work together.
It will complicate things.
We're better off being friends.
You and Summer should get back together.
-Then what happens next time I go away? I think Summer should decide.
-I don't think she can handle it right now.
She's-- I don't know.
She's having a bad time with this.
I think we should decide between us.
-How? -Surfing? -Get real.
-Dirt bike racing.
-No, I don't think so.
-Then what? -CJ, pick up your binoculars.
Look out towards the horizon.
-All right Simon.
I see you.
-You see who's with me? -No.
-That's because I'm alone.
I need you up here CJ.
It's the last time I'm gonna ask.
Say yes.
-No.
-You sure? -Yes.
-Great, you'll never regret changing your mind.
-I didn't change my mind, Simon.
The answer's still no.
-You sure? -Yeah, I'm sure.
-Are you watching? CJ? -I'm watching.
-I can't bear to be up here without you.
- No! -Whoa! -Oh my god.
Oh, this is great.
You've gotta try it.
-Oh I hope your balloon pops.
-I gotta do that.
-Closest to the water.
-Okay, loser backs off.
-You got it.
-Okay, you gotta get your hands wet, and not your trunks.
-Winner goes with Summer, and loser goes away.
-Okay.
-Let's do it.
-CJ, can you watch my water? I've gotta run to the bathroom.
-Summer, are you all right? -Yeah I'm fine.
-I don't think so.
-No really, i-- -Summer, I've been watching you lately.
The way you've been eating and then running to the bathroom.
-Well I've just had this really nervous stomach.
-Did I ever tell you that in high school I had a eating disorder? Bulimia.
-No.
-Well it's not something I enjoy talking about, but talking about it is what made me get better.
It wasn't easy, but I had to come to a point where I could admit it to myself before I could admit it to anybody else.
-CJ, I don't have bulimia.
-That's what I kept saying.
-Hi.
I'm Matt.
I'm a lifeguard.
I'm a friend of CJ's.
Can we come up? -Sure, come on.
-It's just that sometimes I feel so empty inside that I have to eat, and then I eat so much food and I'm so stuffed that I can't even stand it.
-Well it's not about the food you eat.
-I know.
It's this thing with Matt and Slade.
-It's more than that.
-You know, it's like one minute I want them both, and then the next minute I don't want to be with either one of 'em.
My mom tells me that I should choose one, which is impossible.
I mean Matt is so wonderful, but Jimmy, he was my first love.
-Summer, you have to stop putting so much pressure on yourself.
-I know.
Sometimes I wish that they would just decide it among themselves, and then just let me know.
-All right, I'm only letting you guys do this because it's about the love of a woman.
And that's worth taking a risk for.
-Oh what is this guy doing now? -Matt and Slade are up there with him.
-All right, which one of you wants to go first? -At the same time.
-Wanna go at the same time.
-You know, jumping this close to the water is risky enough as it is.
-Then I'll go first.
-All right.
-Fine.
-CJ, Slade's jumping.
-Slade! Slade! -Parker, requesting immediate backup.
Tower 18.
-Oh my god! Shorten my cord.
-Huh? -Shorten my cord! -Hurry! Faster! -Summer! Help! -Put this under him.
Come on.
-One of the best cowboys of all time was an African American, bill pickett.
He was so good, Tom mix and will Rogers were both his assistants at one time or another.
He invented bulldogging in his rodeo event.
Check this out.
Pickett was actually seen biting into a steer's lip and letting go with both his hands.
Drug him to the ground with his teeth.
Boy, bill pickett.
Yeah, that was my idol when I was a kid.
-Well let's just hope we get our hands on those purse snatchers before you end up sinking your teeth into 'em.
How'd you get your captain to put you on horseback anyway? -Well, I just laid out the pros and cons of a mounted patrol on the beach, and he said let's give it a try.
-For how long? -If it works, permanently.
Right Kojak? -Kojak, wha-- what's with the name Kojak for a horse anyway, Kojak was bald.
-Need I say more? -Come on.
Let's go round up some bad guys.
Spot anything yet? -Nothing happening.
-Sorry ladies.
I'm so clumsy.
-Come on, you fool.
-It's going down.
South of 20.
-Okay, I got him, jaws.
I got him.
I got him.
-Come on.
-You know, someday they're gonna be talking about you in the same breath as bill pickett.
-Yeah, me and bill pickett.
I like that.
-Or maybe Hannibal Lecter, you know? One or the other.
Or maybe Bruce.
-Bruce who? -You know, the shark from jaws.
Or maybe cujo.
-Shut up.
-Or maybe Benji, or did you see that movie free Willy? -Hey, friend.
-You know maybe if your parent had done that to you when you were young, you wouldn't be so obnoxious.
I don't want to be your friend Simon.
I don't want to ever see you or hear from you again.
You could've gotten those guys killed.
-What the hell were you two doing? -Look, Summer, we know what you're going through is difficult.
-Yeah, we didn't want you to have to make a choice.
-You didn't have to bother.
-Why? -Because I've already made my choice.
I want you both as friends.
We all care too much about each other to let this ruin it.
Okay? -Okay.
-I can't believe you guys actually jumped out of a balloon.
-Me neither.
-Beautiful.
-What's that? -That is a rail for Garner's horse.
What's that? -Oh, I got these for Kojak.
They're better for him than tootsie roll pops.
-Don't get those too close to Garner.
Looks good huh? -Hey.
-Oh no.
-Oh no, what's this? -Where's Kojak? -Kojak is back in the barn, and I'm back riding this thing.
-What happened? -Well, I wrote up my report, and the bottom line is my captain decided that I didn't demonstrate contemporary police decorum.
-What happened to bill pickett? -I told him about bill pickett.
-What about cleaning up the beach like Wyatt earp? -He said if I wanted to be a cowboy I should join the rodeo.
-Well, what'd you tell him? -Nothing, I just begged.
