-The sun looks more
beautiful in your eyes

Than it does in the sky.

-Oh look, that's where I work.

-Yeah I know.
This is where I work.

[Gentle music]

-Hey summer!

-Hey ethan.

-Are you coming to my
party with matt or slade?

-Matt, slade's still
somewhere in barbados.

-Was, maybe. I just saw him
doing airs off sunset beach.

-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.

[Gentle music]

-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.

[Techno music]

[Sirens]

-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.

[Jubilant music]

-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.

[Phone ringing]

-Tower , 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.

[Upbeat music]

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.

[Thumping]

-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.

[Dramatic music]

-Ah look, I gotta back cj up.
Tie up kojak will ya?

[Screaming]

-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
feet long I'd say.

[Gentle music]

-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.

-[Gasps] 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.

[Romantic music]

[Dramatic music]

[Rock music]

-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.

[Grunting]

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?

[Gentle music]

-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.

[Ominous music]
-no!

-Whoa!

[Laughing]

-Oh my god.

Oh, this is great.

You've gotta try it.

-Oh I hope your balloon pops.

[Laughing]

-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.

[Dramatic music]

-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 .

[Dramatic music]

-Oh my god!

Shorten my cord.

-Huh?

-Shorten my cord!

[Dramatic music]

-Hurry! Faster!

-Summer! Help!

-Put this under him.

Come on.

[Coughing]

[Whinnying]

-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 .

[Whinnying]

[Horse whinnying]

[Upbeat music]

[Grunting]

-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 k*lled.

-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.

[Laughter]
