01x04 - Surf Sangoma

[bunniefuu]

Don't go to the water.

Grandmother! Grandmother, come back!

Please, no!

Coach, coach, did you see that?

I did a gnarly turn
and I didn't fall.

Coach?

Oh, yeah, yeah. I saw you.

- Soon you'll be teaching me, eh?

I'll see you next week.

Okay, bye!

- Hey. Earth to Njabulo!

- Bro, what's going on?

You spaced out again.

Are you okay?

I don't
know, either.

- Just chill. I'll be fine.
Remember, dudes,

surfing beyond the wall
is ill*gal and deadly.

Come on, bro.

Are you sure you're not getting
tired of this kiddie pool?

Trust me, boy.

A little splash
on the open water

- with the g*ng and you'll be a grand...
- Mnqobi,

we agreed we're just
gonna watch. Nothing more.

Fine, you don't want to
be legendary like Ma Zed.

Real surfing in the
ocean, old-school style?

Mnqo, you do realize I'm
not my grandmom, right?

Come on,
don't be a choker.

I just hate to see you
waste your gift like this.

Ah, what gift?

I'm just the Wavy
World mascot out here.

Looks like water
levels have reached record high.

Flooding along the wallhas
sparked new waves of civil unrest.

Better stay home and stay safe.

What do you even
know about surfing?

Whenever we get into the water,

you look like a squirrel trying
to surf an ironing board.

Yeah, you got jokes, man.

Funny guy.
Oh.

Come on, bro!

Whoa!

Jesus!

Ay, Jesus!

We are
headed to the big leagues, my bro.

Whoo-hoo!

Come.

- Come.

Hey, wait, are you
sure about this place?

Yeah. You're
about to flip.

Boys!
Where are you going?

Hey! Don't run away.

Don't go to the water.

Oh, man, this is what I've
been telling you about, boy.

Bro, wearing those things
just to surf, though...

ah, it's too much.

Yes, of course
brother, without that,

you wouldn't last
a minute out there.

Ah, finally,

Njabulo Zondi has graced
us with his presence.

- What's up, Mnqobisto?

Welcome!

How, gents, I don't
see your boards.

Uh, boards? We
just came to watch.

There
is no watching here.

You kids surf or you leave.

Come.

Don't be scared, boys.

These sweet babies will have you

- dancing on the waves.

- Well then, let's get it!

Mnqobi!
What are you doing?

- What are you doing?
- Ooh.

Looks like surfing doesn't run
in the blood after all, I say.

Calm down, Njabulo, we
could do it together.

I, I can't do this.

The great Njabulo Zondi, ah?

A coward.

- Get lost, Njabulo.
- I...

Go back to your fishbowl.

I'm done.

Mnqobi, don't!

- Please!

- Mnqobi!

Yes! You see.

No wonder
you got Ma Zed k*lled.

Mnqobi!

Njabulo, don't go to the water...
- No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. Not now.

No!

Come check
out Ma Zed's surfboard!

In living memory of the greatest
surfer to ever ride these shores.

Njabulo,
bro, come on, bro.

I'm sorry I left you
hanging the other day.

I promise I'll
make it up to you.

Oh, yeah? Where are your
new friends now, eh?

Aren't you afraid they'll
see you with a choker?

I said I was sorry, bro.

You're my day one, Njabulo.

Eish.

Mnqobi.

Grab him!

Eh?

You second-hand fool.

- You second-hand!

Kwaa.

You'd swear the grandson of Ma Zed
would have more pride than this.

Okay, enough fun and games.

Mnqo, get the board.

Mnqo, please!

It's all I have left!

I said, now!

- You are a disgrace to your name, kiddo.

That board deserves to be on
open waters with real surfers.

No.

Don't go to the
water, eh? Promise me.

The only place to
surf is Wavy World.

Don't go to the water, my child.

I'm sorry, Grandmother!

Don't go to the water.

Go back to
the water, my child.

Go back to the water.

Go back
to the water?

Go
back to the water?

Time to break this baby in.

Hey, whoa,
whoa. Mlindos, please.

- He doesn't know what he is doing.

He's not worth your time, bro.

Oh, Mnqo.

Are you turning your
back on squids now?

Mnqobi!

Seems like everyone
close to you dies, kiddo.

No!

Good riddance, poster boy.

Beginner's luck.

Just watch, baba.

Oh.

Mnqobi!

Ugh!

Zondi! Nondaba! Bambata!

Njabulo!

You've
grown up, baby.

How you've grown.

Such a beautiful surfer.

But those moves.

- Grandmother!

I'm sorry.

This mess, it's,
it's all my fault.

No.

The ocean does not
recognize tears, my child.

You have a gift.

You have a gift.

Much greater than mine.

You are one with
the ocean up there.

You can feel it.

The ocean was
always calling you.

But the ocean took you.

And now it's taken Mnqobi.

Hey!

Mnqobi's not gone.

Mnqobi's not gone?

My child, go.

Go!

Mnqobi!

Take him. The board.

Get my board!

No.

- Mnqobi!

Uzu!

Huh?

Njabulo child, I'm so sorry.

Things just... they
just got out of hand.

And I don't blame
you if you hate me.

Hate you?

How, brother?

You know you're my day one.

- I know, but...
Stop.

If you hadn't been
judgy like that,

maybe I'd have never gone
back to the open water.

Or used your gift.

Maybe I'm your gift, you know?

Precious cargo, bro.

Best treat me real
nice.

Gift? You owe me, fool.

Oh, okay, okay, sharp.

Okay, smart stuff, then tell
me, when are we going out there again?

Huh? Out there?
