Help! Well how do you like that, saved by the blimp.
-Hey.
-Hey, wait a second.
I'm on switchboard again? That's twice this week, Stephanie.
-I know.
-Well do you wanna tell me why? -I need you there.
-That is completely unfair, Stephanie.
You're not supposed to get stuck on switchboard more than once a week.
You know, Stephanie, I really feel like you're taking advantage of me because I'm your sister.
You wouldn't do this to Matt or C.
J.
, why am I getting the short end of the stick? -Look, I know you got a lot of experience while I was away, but I've been noticing you're still prone to making rookie mistakes.
-Rookie mistakes? What does that mean, Stephanie, do you want to give me an example? -Don't take it so personally.
You've come a long way in a short period of time.
I'm really proud of you.
-But you don't trust me.
-I think you need a little seasoning.
-And I'm supposed to get that on switchboard duty? -I'll put you on a tower tomorrow, okay? Now let's get to work.
Hey, can I give you a hand? -Got it, okay on three, one, two, three.
Any word on the other scarab? -Yeah, should be out of the shop by the end of this week.
-I'm gonna need it sooner than that.
-Why? We seem okay with one boat.
-Ever heard of Richard Branson? -Richard Branson, I don't think so.
Is he a lifeguard? -No, no, no, he's a British businessman, you know, across the Atlantic in a hot air balloon.
-Oh yeah, I've read about him.
He's a big daredevil, he does all these crazy stunts and everything.
-You're not gonna believe what he's up to now.
-Something tells me I don't wanna know.
-He's gonna water ski behind his blimp.
-No.
Where? -Long beach harbor.
-Why? -He wants to be in the guinness book of world records.
-For what, giving lifeguards gray hair? -Nope, the longest water ski behind an air ship.
-Mitch, I can't believe you agreed to this.
-I didn't, the chief assigned me to it.
He wants us to stop by in case anything goes wrong.
-Water skiing behind a blimp.
-No, while water skiing behind an air ship.
-What is the difference? -Uh, well the blimp is big and round-- -Oh! -I'm sorry, I'm sorry.
-Oh, it's okay.
What now, did I bring you the wrong order? -No, no.
-No? Then what's the problem? -I just wanted to tell ya, this is a killer tuna melt.
-Really? You like it? -Best thing I ever had.
-Yes! That's Maurice.
-Who's Maurice? -He's my new cook.
-Hey Maurice! -Yay! -Come on lads, have a heart.
Surely you can spare a few tens or 20s.
Let's go, come on, cough it up.
-I'll be back.
-Watch where you're going, love.
-Excuse me, but I own this restaurant and I really don't want you hitting up on my customers, okay? -Perhaps you'd like to make a donation on their behalf.
How about you captain? Every little bit helps.
-Tell you what, if you're hungry I'll buy you lunch.
-Divine.
Come on, it's okay.
My name's Molly, Molly kasten.
Though I'm thinking about changing it when my album comes out.
-Your album? -I'll be making it any day now.
I'm about to sign a big contract with a major record company.
-Oh, 'til then you're panhandling on the beach.
-Oh, this isn't for me, this is for a friend.
That's not to say I couldn't use a spot of cash to tide me over til my ship comes in.
-Have you ever waited tables? -Six years at my mum's pub in white chapel.
Oh, the customers loved me.
- There you go kaye, sign her up.
-You're looking for someone to lend a hand? -Desperately, when can you start? -I'll knock you up first thing in the morning.
-I beg your pardon? -Oh, I'll be here at the crack of dawn.
-Oh.
-Your troubles are over.
-Thank you so much.
Hey dad, check it out, is that a blimp? It's actually called an airship pal.
What's the difference? Um, ask Stephanie.
-Hi, you must be lieutenant Buchannon, I'm Richard Branson.
Nice to meet you.
- And you.
- My son, Hobie.
-Hi.
-Hi Hobie, you all right.
-Nice to meet you.
I can't believe you're doing this water ski thing, it's awesome.
-Well, not really.
We're gonna need to see a layout of the whole operation so we can block the area off.
-Well I have a blueprint for the entire operation, do you wanna come and look? Absolutely.
Come and have a look.
-Main issue here really is just safety.
-Well I couldn't agree with you more.
Safety's quite important to me, but believe me, Mitch, if we weren't absolutely certain we could pull this off we wouldn't be here.
-Terrific.
Call for you, Mr.
Branson.
-Would you excuse us? I've just got a quick call.
-No problem.
-Hello Richard, there you are.
-Yes.
-I've been looking for you everywhere.
Hello Gladys.
How are you? -What are you doing in California? Well I've got this world record-breaking attempt that we're having a go at today, which-- why don't you come down? -Love to, but I'm in rehearsal.
I called because I want you to come to my opening night.
-I'd love to do that.
I look forward to seeing you then.
Bye.
-Dad, wait a minute, wasn't that Uh, yeah.
-Impressive machines, these, aren't they? -Yeah, very cool.
About how much do you think one of those costs? -Don't even think it.
-Looks like a little bit more pocket money's gonna be needed.
-It was worth a try.
-What do you say we all jump on the scarab and check out the course, huh? -Let's do that.
-Annette Russell, kcop news.
-Yeah, hello, tower 14.
Have you noticed that a surf's been building all day? Could be a lot of rips in this section of the beach.
-Yes Stephanie, I know.
Now do you mind not looking over my shoulder, it's driving me crazy.
-I'm just trying to help you out.
You know if you'd listen to some of the things I'm telling you, you might actually learn something.
-Yeah, I doubt it.
-What'd you say? -Nothing.
Now do you have any more pearls of wisdom for me, or can I get back to work? -No, that's it.
-All right then, I'll see you later.
Wait a second.
What is it? -I'm gonna go make a preven on these people.
-What people? -Right there, right in between us.
The guy and the girl Stephanie.
-You may need more than a preven, that guy's in trouble.
Back me up! -No, you back me up! -Take it easy.
Calm down, I've got you.
Need some help? -No.
-All right, let's go.
-Oh that's lovely.
What flavor is it? -This is my specialty, tutti frutti.
Good golly miss Molly, you shouldn't do that.
-How's my blt doing? -Wait a minute, it's not ready yet.
It's ready.
-What are you doing here? Okay, go ahead.
That's all I can spare.
You can't be hanging around here, I've got work to do.
Look, I'll come by when I get off.
I'll bring you something special.
I've gotta go.
Here you are captain.
-Thanks Molly.
Whoa, ho ho.
There's only half a sandwich here, what happened? -Well that can't be right.
How the devil did that happen? Let me go talk to the cook.
-Oh Molly, Molly, who was that girl you just shared Mitch's lunch with? -What girl? -The one that was here all day.
I mean, who is she? -We met a couple of weeks back when I was working on the boardwalk in venice.
I suppose I just took her under my wing.
Well she's been like my shadow since then.
-What's her story? -All I know is she came to venice because of the shelter house.
-The runaway shelter? -Yeah, and that closed last month.
They lost their funding.
-That's why they're living on the streets right now.
A whole pack of 'em.
You wouldn't know they were there unless you knew their secret hiding places.
I was about to take her my tip money.
-You mind if I tag along? -Why not? But let me get your sandwich first.
-Hi.
-Hey.
-Where's Caroline? -I saw her in the locker room a few minutes ago.
She was lacing up boxing gloves.
-Boxing gloves? -Yeah, it seemed like she had some frustrations to work out.
She and Logan having problems? -No, not that I know of.
-Well somebody's got her pretty upset.
-Oh yeah, probably me.
-Ah, that was my next guess.
-Look, she's just mad at me 'cause she thinks I'm holding her back.
-Well are you? -No, rookies are supposed to prove themselves.
-Stephanie, she has proven herself.
Maybe not to you, but to everybody else around here.
Think about it.
I'll see you later.
-You look like you're ready to step in the ring.
Keep your guard up when you jab.
-Are you aware that you're always telling me what to do? -Guess after 22 years I figured you'd be used to it.
-You know I've worked really hard at becoming a lifeguard, and I'm not saying I know all there is to know, but I think I'm pretty good.
-You're very good, Caroline.
I guess that's the problem.
-Why is that a problem? -I don't know, I guess I Still wanna think of you as my little sister.
Not some young hot shot who beat me to a rescue.
-I don't think of us as being in competition, Stephanie.
-All lifeguards are in competition.
I mean the fastest swimmer, strongest runner, just comes with the territory.
I just don't want it to come between us.
-It won't, I promise.
-Hope you're right.
-Maybe next time I'll let you make the rescue.
-Don't push your luck, little sister.
-Make sure we got rescue cans, life jackets, here's the first aid kit.
-And what are you gonna get? -Uh, coffee and donuts.
Cream and sugar please.
-Well what do you mean the whole thing's off? You said it was written in stone.
Can't we take it to another record company? You said I was gonna be a star.
Oh shut up, I don't wanna listen to anymore of your rubbish.
-Thanks.
You know, kaye, I made a couple of calls last night and you know it turns out that there's a group of people who are trying to raise money to reopen the venice runaway shelter? -Yeah, and you told them I'd stage a benefit concert at the Sandy cay.
-How'd you find out? -They called me this morning.
-Well the kids do need a place to stay.
-Don't worry, I said yes.
As a matter of fact, I've lined up somebody really big.
Molly, oh Molly, what happened? -My record deal fell through.
Seems I won't be cutting my own album after all.
-Hey, you're gonna get another chance.
Don't give up on yourself.
-Yeah, who knows, you might wait on some big time record producer right here at the Sandy cay.
-Fat chance.
What'll it be? Come on, I haven't got all day.
Robert.
Molly! Please wait! Damn, where did she go? -Hey, what's going on? -I'm looking for my fiance.
-Your fiance? -Where did I go wrong? Why would a woman choose to travel halfway around the world rather than marry me? -Molly didn't come here to get away from you, she came here because Los Angeles is the center of the music business, and she wants to be a singer.
-Yes, well that's just preposterous.
I just can't understand why she insists on pursuing this childish dream of hers.
-Why don't you share her dream? -Molly has a lot of talent, and you should be her biggest fan.
-I wanna be her husband! -You need to get your head screwed on straight.
- Hello? - Hello, who's there? Hello, who's calling? Hello? -Excuse me.
Hello? Hello.
-Who's this? This is Phyllis Evans, who's this? -Hey, you know where the GPS is? I need an exact location.
-It's in the hull, I'll get it.
-All right.
-What the? -Fancy meeting you here.
Where'd you come from? -It's a bit cramped down here, give us a hand.
-Molly, I don't believe this.
-What are you doing in there? -Well it was the only place I could find to hide.
How did I know you'd be shoving off right away? -All right, we're turning around.
We're taking her back.
-Mitch, what about Richard Branson? -He'll have to wait.
-Did you say Richard Branson? Why, he's a living legend.
What's he doing here? -He's water skiing behind his airship.
We're here on safety standby.
-That sounds like our Richie, I can't miss that.
- I'm afraid you're gonna have to.
-Oh please captain, I won't get in the way.
I swear.
Can't you find it in your heart to let me stay? -Oh you're breaking my heart, here.
-Mitch, if we go back it's gonna throw off everybody's timing.
-Ah, all right, all right.
Just sit down, shut up, and don't even squirm.
-Oh yes, sir! -I'm gonna regret this.
Can I ask you a couple of quick questions? Of course.
-So Richard, are you nervous? How do you Good luck! -Thank you.
-Right now, Richard Branson is getting onto the boat that is going to take him to his airship where he will attempt to be entered into the guinness book of world records for water skiing.
Multi-millionaire Richard Branson is no virgin when it comes to daredevil stunts, he's set transatlantic speed records in his power boat and he's the first man to have crossed the Atlantic and the pacific ocean in his hot air balloon.
But that's just a set up for his next daring do, water skiing while attached to his own air ship which will be traveling about 70 miles per hour.
Annette Russell, 13 real news.
-Is that beautiful or what, huh? -Wow.
-Go Richard! -Look at that, he's crazy.
-Wow.
-Wow.
-That's it Mr.
Branson, we broke the record.
-Yeah! -Yeah! -He got it man, he got it.
- Yeah! - Yes! -He set the record.
He just did it.
-Wait a minute.
Matt, he's not coming up.
All right, let's go.
-I'm going in.
-We're gonna go back.
-Give me the knife! -I'll get it.
-Molly, wh-- what are you doing? Hand me the knife.
My foot is caught.
-It's okay Mr.
Branson, we'll get you out of this mess in a jiffy.
-Congratulations Mr.
Branson, once again you're going to be in the guinness book of records, well done.
-Yeah, well done.
Congratulations, mate.
-Thanks to you lads, I'll be around to savor my moment of glory.
-No worries mate, all in a day's work.
-Well just the same, is there anything maybe I could do for any of you? -Well, actually, there is something you could do for me that is.
I'm a singer and, well I was hoping you'd listen to my song.
-Well, since you helped save my life that's the least I can do.
-Yes! -You quit? What do you mean you quit? You can't quit.
-As much as I've grown attached to this place, I'm afraid I've had a better offer.
Richard Branson's got me a record deal! -Oh, Molly, that's terrific! Congratulations.
-Thanks, kaye.
-That's great.
Did you have that talk with your fiance? -Yeah, I'll be recording in London so we can be together.
What can I say? The poor boy's lovestruck.
All of a sudden he wants to be involved in my career.
Next thing you know he'll want to be my manager.
-Don't they all.
-There's someone I've gotta talk to.
Hi.
-Are you going away? -Yeah, I'm going home, where I belong.
You should think about doing the same.
-No, I can't.
My parents hate me.
They'll never take me back.
-You've gotta give 'em a chance, kit.
I'll bet they miss you as much as you miss them.
You can't go on living this way.
You need somebody to look after you.
Come here, hun.
-That's her family? -Yeah.
-Well how did they find her? -Thank your boss for that.
-We love you.
