- [Heath voiceover] Some days you just know

it's going to be your day,

for no reason at all, something special jumps out

and hits you right between the eyes.

Could be fate, could be luck,

but when it happens, you can't fight it.

And why would you want to?

- Mate, if you stay here any longer,

you're gonna get massacred.

You're standing in between kids and their weekend.

- Yeah, sorry.

- So Edge reckons the swirls gonna be working down

at Longbeach today.

We're gonna ask Simmo if he'll drive us over.

It'll good prep for the comp on Sunday.

- Look, I forgot that stupid English novel.

I better go back and get it.

- You can just borrow my copy.

- I can't, 'cause I write notes in mine.

- You write notes for English?

- Yeah a couple, just go on ahead,

I'll catch up with you later.

- All right.

- Look, it's up to you, right?

You know what I think, so you have to decide.

I'm not changing.

In about minutes, okay bye.

- Here let me help you with these.

- Thanks. - No worries.

- They just slipped.

I can be such a klutz sometimes.

- Oh, it can happen to anyone.

I dropped my English book in the pool yesterday.

Totally ruined. - Really?

- Yeah, you know, some things just fall in a heap and--

And others-- [stutters).

Have we met?

- I've just enrolled here, I'm Jane.

- Hey, nice to meet you, Jane.

So if there's anything you need to know about this place,

just ask me, I'm your man.

- That's really nice of you, Heath.

- So is there anything I can help you with now?

- Well, maybe you can let go of my hand

before the rest of these books fall, too.

- Oh, yeah, sorry.

So where do you want these?

- I'm just talking them to my locker.

- I'll bring them for you. - Thanks.

- You told him about it?

- I didn't say it was definite.

- You have to spell it out to Heath otherwise it goes

in through one ear and out the other.

- He's not that bad.

- Oh come on, Fly.

Even you know Heath's idea of punctuality

is to turn up roughly on the same day.

- Try the same week.

- Couldn't we just give him five minutes?

- No way, it's pumping now.

- The Edge is right, come on there's waves, we better go.

- Come on, Fly. - I'll wait and tell Heath

what's happening.

Maybe we can get a lift from someone.

- Fly, Heath's missed out, you don't have to, as well.

Now come on, the surf's pumping, we gotta get some waves.

In you go.

- You're actually a pro surfer.

- Oh, not really pro, not yet anyway.

I'm hoping to join the circuit at the end of the year.

- That is so awesome.

- Yeah, you know?

- It must be so great to know

what you're going to do with your life.

I have no clue.

- Oh, I suppose you can always rely

on Tarzan to help you out.

- Who?

- You, Jane, boyfriend, Tarzan.

[laughs)

He is swinging around the trees somewhere, isn't he?

- You have such a wacky sense of humor, Heath.

- Is that a plus or a minus?

- A plus, definitely.

- Great.

[horn honking)

- There's my lift, I better go.

- So doing anything this weekend?

- Studying.

- Yeah, I'll probably hit the books myself.

But I'll see you Monday, then?

- For sure.

Thanks again, Heath.

[Heath makes monkey noises)

Sorry?

- Just getting ready to swing home through the trees?

Did we click or did we click?

Heath, you've just landed on the first step

on the stairway to heaven.

[cheering)

- That would've had to be some of the best surfs

we've had in ages.

- See, aren't you glad you came?

- I've gotta admit, it was gnarly, all right.

- Oh, Heath is going to be stewing

when we tell him what he's missed out on.

- Thank you Edge, you are a true genius

for directing us here this afternoon.

- Thank you Edge, I'm sure you'll never let us forget it.

- Okay, let's get our skates on everyone,

if I don't have you guys back in time for dinner,

Jilly will have my head for a doorstop.

- Great, I forgot Jilly's cooking tonight.

- Why did Heath go back to school anyway?

- Oh, he wanted to get his novel.

- Pride and Prejudice?

- That's what we're all studying, isn't it?

- Yeah but he dropped his copy in the pool yesterday.

- I don't know, maybe he got another copy.

- Yeah.

Maybe.

- [Man] All right folks, poll tournament, best of three.

- Yeah. - You're on.

- Have you seen Heath?

- Upstairs, being domestic.

- Thanks. - But be careful, Fly.

It's probably not a pretty sight.

- Come on.

Get in there, you mongrel.

[knocking)

Oh, hi.

- I've got what you wanted.

- Sorry?

- Pride and Prejudice.

- I wanted that?

- Isn't that what you went back to school for?

- Yeah, right, yeah.

Pride and Prejudice, cool.

- I put it in the laundry to dry out.

Did you forget?

- Yeah, and I must have just blanked it out.

Um, now I don't get all this stuff about pride anyway.

- It's simple, pride means you're stubborn.

You stop listening to others and only yourself.

It stops you seeing things clearly.

- Yeah, yeah, right.

Thanks, I better finish up here then.

- I'll see you at dinner.

[soft music)

- Idiot.

- Listen up folks, your attention please.

- This Sunday we're having the standard best of four events

with the usual time limits, girls and boys heats.

- What about us men?

- Dream on Batboy.

This time we have a very special set of judges.

- Who? - You.

- [Crowd] What?

- That's right, girls judge the boys, and vice versa.

- Excuse me, is there a reason for this?

- There's a very good reason for this.

When you're competing you need to know

what the judges are looking for.

The best way to learn that,

is to do some judging yourselves.

- Well as long as we don't have to take it too seriously.

- You have to take it very seriously.

- Cause comp is the real deal, points count

towards your wildcard tallies.

- [Crowd] What? No, seriously?

- Here are your judging manuals.

They tell you what moves score what points,

degrees of difficulty, the works.

[books slam)

- There goes the weekend.

- How's it going?

- This stuff is so technical.

- Matt's called a meeting, in the rec room.

- What about?

- If I knew that, we wouldn't have

to go to the meeting, would we?

- Okay, the situation is this.

We're all competing against each other, right?

- I think we managed to work that out by now, Matt.

- And the competition could be very close

at the end of the year, right?

- So?

- So, I don't wanna be responsible for being the difference

between someone winning and losing at the end of the year.

- So what do you suggest we do?

- You want us to cheat.

- I think we should all agree

to give each other the same marks.

- That is cheating. - Definitely cheating.

- And won't Deb and Simmo spot it straight off?

- Not if we organize it so that our individual marks

are different, but the total points for each competitor

are the same.

I know it's a bit radical.

- A bit radical?

- The thing is, if we decide to do it, we all have to do it.

- I mean if one person ops out, it won't work.

- Man, well look, I can't understand

this stupid manual anyway.

Count me in, buddy, I'm gonna press out.

- Look, let's think about it, guys, 'kay?

We don't have to decide right now.

- But we do have to decide.

[upbeat music)

[waves crashing)

- [Jane] Hey!

- [Heath Voiceover] Can you believe it?

Fate throws her right into my path.

Not once, but twice.

The gods really must like me.

Hello, Jane.

Thought you were supposed to be studying.

- I am.

Nothing wrong with getting a tan at the same time, is there?

- Nothing at all.

- I thought you were studying, too.

Yeah, just taking a break.

Can't work the ol' brain too hard.

- I saw you surfing out there, you looked great.

- Oh, thanks.

- I'd love to be able to surf, it must be such a buzz.

- Maybe I could teach you.

- Maybe I'll take you up on it.

- Cool, you know, get your people to call my people

and we'll fix a time.

[laughs)

- I still don't see how we can make it work.

- It's easy, okay?

Let's say you girls are judging Edge, right?

Fly and Anna give him a seven, you give him a six,

and Perri an eight.

- An average of seven.

- What about when we surf?

- Simple, I give you a seven,

Heath a six, and Edge an eight.

- We just rotate the numbers between us.

- So we all end up with an average score of seven.

- Well, what if someone does something

really brilliant though?

We'll have to give it a top mark.

- That's the second part of the equation.

- Just good solid riding, nothing cute.

- If it starts getting too good, just wipe out.

- What do you think?

- I haven't got any better ideas.

- Okay, we're in.

[gentle music)

- Can you make any money out of surfing?

- Yeah, stacks.

It's huge.

- Really?

[cell phone rings)

Could you turn that off, please?

- You don't wanna know who it is?

- I know who it is.

- Sure.

[cell phone beeps)

Oh, Pride and Prejudice, our class is studying this.

- Mine too, I haven't got time to read it,

so I rent the DVD instead.

- Oh, brilliant.

Why didn't I think of that?

- We could watch it together, if you like.

- You and me?

- It'll have to tonight, though,

it's due back tomorrow.

- Yeah, that'd be great.

- Cool, it's Bay Street, about seven?

- Yeah, excellent, thanks.

Oh, here, let me.

- You sure?

- It's a tough job but someone's got to do it.

- And what do you think about Matt's idea?

- I'm not crazy about it.

- So what're we gonna do?

- Hit the waves, that'll help sort things out.

- Couldn't agree more.

Fly!

- Wow, Heath.

I've never seen you so dressed up.

- Bit much just to go bowling, isn't it?

- Bowling?

- Deb and Simmos big treat, you did read the notice?

- What notice?

- The one inviting us all to go out together tonight.

- Missed it completely.

Well, you guys have a good time.

- Where're you heading?

- I'm really behind on this novel assignment,

thought I'd go somewhere quiet, get my head around it.

Ciao.

- He's spending Saturday night doing school work?

Can you believe it?

- Not really.

- People can be weird sometimes.

- People can be rats, too.

Take a seat, I'll just put these in some water.

Help yourself to some nibbles.

- Thanks.

I could get used to this very easily.

- I've slotted the DVD in, the remote's on the table.

- Yeah, sweet.

Nice house you got here, Jane.

- It's my Dad's.

He's overseas so it's just me and my sister at home,

but she's out tonight.

- Oh, really?

[classical music)

[Heath grunts) - Comfortable?

- Yeah, any more comfortable

and I'll be part of the furniture.

- You're so wacky, Heath.

- [Heath Voiceover] This is gonna be

the best movie I've ever seen.

I can feel it.

[rock music)

[bowling pins clatter)

- Aw.

[laughing and cheering)

- Oh, damn, bad luck.

- Finally something you're not perfect at.

- Why's it is just me, what am I doing wrong?

- It's all in your mind.

All in the mind.

- [Edge] Come on Fly, show us how you do it.

- Go, Fly.

- Give us a strike, Fly.

- Rat Heath, copy.

[yells)

[cheers)

- I don't know what's going on in your head, Fly,

but whatever it is, I wouldn't mind some.

- I don't think you'd really wanna know.

- So, did you like it?

- Yeah, excellent.

- I still don't get all that stuff about pride, though.

What do you think?

- Well, see, the way I see it.

- It's simple, pride means you're stubborn.

- Pride means you're stubborn, and--

- You stop listening to others and only yourself.

- You stop listening to others

and you only hear yourself.

- Go on.

- It stops you seeing things clearly.

- You don't see things clearly anymore.

- Do you think so?

- I am pretty certain about that.

- Anything else?

- Well, pride is a major negative.

- Heath, I think you just told me something

I really needed to know.

- I have?

- Thank you.

You don't know how much this means to me.

I'm going to like being friends with you, Heath.

- [Heath Voiceover] I suppose there is a heaven somewhere.

But it's hard to believe it's any better than this.

- [Perri] My turn, my turn.

- Hey, everything all right?

- Yeah.

No, not really.

- Can I help?

- Wish you could, but no, this one's between me and--

- And Heath.

- So, you're the only two that haven't told me

your decision about tomorrow.

- What's everyone else said?

- They're in.

- Do we have to tell you now?

- Well if you don't know now, you're never gonna know.

- If everyone's doing it, I'll do it.

- All right, Fly it's down to you.

- It still feels like cheating.

- No, it's to protect all of us against unfairness.

It's the opposite of cheating.

- Okay, I'll do it.

[soft music)

♪ All I am is a piece of wood ♪

- How's the study?

- Fly.

- : a.m., nearly eight hours solid.

You must know the book pretty well now.

- Well, you know, it wasn't all study.

- I bet.

- You know, I did take a break every now and then.

- It's okay, you don't have to explain.

I'm not your mother.

- I know, I'm just saying--

- Don't, don't say anything more.

There's no point.

I don't know about you, but I've got a competition tomorrow.

And I'm going back to sleep.

Might be an idea if you get some, too.

- All right, so the girls will surf first,

the boys will do the judging.

Everybody clear on how to score?

- Yeah.

- Good, so they'll be no excuses, excellent.

- Is Heath gonna grace us with his presence, by the way?

- He slept in, he'll be here in a sec.

[yawns)

- [Jane] Heath.

- Hey.

Hi there.

- [Jane] Thank you so much for last night.

- Oh, I think it's me who should be thanking you.

- I haven't talked with anyone for so long in ages.

- Same here.

- It's so exciting, suddenly I feel

like I'm in a whole new relationship.

- Great.

- Jane, would you like a cappuccino?

- Latte, thanks.

- Who's he?

- My boyfriend.

[gentle guitar music)

- Your boyfriend?

- We've been dating for months, he's so nice.

[stutters)

- What about last night?

- I'll never forget it, Heath.

The way you said all that stuff about pride and everything,

you made me realize exactly how horrible I've been to him.

- I did?

- When you said that stuff about not listening

and hearing only your own voice,

it was like a bolt of lightning.

- I did?

- Your words turned me right around, Heath.

It was so amazing.

- Here's your latte. - Thanks.

Brad, this is Heath, the surfer I've been telling you about.

- Oh, great.

Nice to meet you, mate.

Did you want a coffee?

- No, I'm all right, thanks.

I've gotta comp.

- Bye Heath, see you at school, hey?

- Yeah, sure.

- Okay, Perri, you're first up.

You all set?

- Yeah. - Good luck.

- Guys, you can take your positions.

- Oh, Heath, glad you could join us, mate.

Hope we're not interfering

too much with your sleep patterns.

- You okay, man? - Fine.

- Where'd you go to last night?

- Nowhere.

- You know what to do?

- Just tell me what to write, and I'll write it.

- Okay.

Deb and I have gone over the score sheets.

- And interestingly enough,

you all got the same score.

- That's right, so let's have a look at the results.

Volia.

- [Anna] Zero?

- That's right you all got zero's.

All except one, that is.

- Yeah, Fly, congratulations, you scored half a point.

Not exactly well beating

but better than not scoring anything at all.

- I don't get it, what's with the zeros?

- Ah, you almost got away with it, guys.

In fact, until the end, Simmo and I actually bought it.

- Until the last surf of the day, that is.

Heath.

Mate, your surfing was some of the worst I've ever seen

in a competition, it was so bad, it was spectacular.

- And there's only so much faking you can do,

isn't that right, Fly?

So you gave him a two.

- You did?

- Sorry guys.

- And before you all hammer her,

it wasn't Fly that gave the game away.

If you three had've given him a lower score,

then Simmo and I would've gone along with everything else.

- But you were too caught up in your little plan,

there was nothing else you could do.

- Right then.

We're gonna re-run this competition next weekend.

And I can suggest that next time, we do it properly?

- Sounds like a loser.

- He is, but you reckon you can take pity on him?

I just wanted to say

that what you did at the comp yesterday was pretty gutsy.

- It wasn't really, as soon as you started surfing,

I knew there was only one option.

- I guess I was pretty bad.

- Pretty bad.

- I also wanted to say that I hope we can still be friends.

- Sure.

- No, like real friends.

You know like we were before.

- Before you met Jane.

- You know about her?

- I saw you together on the beach.

- Oh?

- Didn't know you were so good at putting on sunscreen.

- Oh.

- Do you like her?

- I thought I did.

- And now? - Now?

Now I know we're not on the same planet.

- Come on.

About us?

- On the farm, we even let the cattle dogs make one mistake.
