- Thanks, man.

That was sick.

I can't believe your uncle just gave you his old jet ski.

- Yeah, well, you'd better make the most of it now,

'cause I'm putting it up for sale.

- You're joking.

You saw that air reverse Matt did.

All he needed was enough speed to get him there.

There are waves out there you wouldn't get near

without one of these things.

- Yeah, well, the way I see it, if you can't

paddle out to a wave, you shouldn't be riding it.

- You believe that?

- Yeah, I do.

- Hey.

Tell me you're not selling this machine.

- Ad went in the paper today.

- How much?

[laughs)

- More than you've got.

[soft music)

- Hey, Anna.

Has anyone asked you to the school formal yet?

- What's a formal?

- It's a dance.

You know, everyone gets to dress up,

and gets photos taken and stuff.

- What for?

- For fun.

It's like a party.

Edge, are you taking Bec to the formal?

- Yeah. - See?

Everyone goes, takes a partner.

- We don't have anything like this in Germany.

- So, do you wanna go?

- Okay. - Great.

- So, you said people get dressed up.

Dressed up as what?

- Just, you know, formal.

Ask the other girls, they'll fill ya in.

- Check it out!

See the gold strappy shoes?

I have to have them.

♪ By the man that makes you feel sad ♪

- They're gorgeous.

- [Fly] What do you think?

- I like 'em!

- Yeah.

- All this fuss about a school dance?

- It's not just a school dance.

It's the formal.

It's like, this major event that only ever

happens twice in your school life.

And everybody talks about it for ages afterwards,

like, what you wore, or--

- Who they went with.

See, it's up to the boys to ask the girls

to be their partner.

Anna, this would really suit you.

Let's have a look.

The color's perfect.

- Ugh, come on.

- Oh, go on. At least try it on.

- Come on, Anna.

- [Bec] Perri, have you decided who you're going with yet?

- [Perri] No, not yet.

- [Bec] Well, knowing you, you've been swamped with offers.

- Yeah, right. I wish.

- [Fly] Look at you, Anna!

- That is totally cool.

- Aw, you look amazing!

- Kinda just wanna wear board shorts.

- No, you can't!

This is a special night.

- Isn't it a bit old fashioned?

- Ugh, Anna! Don't be such a killjoy.

- Yeah, and I did not spend my spare afternoons

on the organizing committee so that you could

turn up in board shorts.

- What about you, Bec?

Are you going with Edge?

- If he asks me.

- What makes you think he won't?

- Probably the fact that he hasn't.

- Yet.

- I'll get my mum to sell my bike, that's a couple grand.

Plus my other board.

And nan said she'd give me a couple hundred.

- You still won't have enough.

- Is Heath in here? - [Heath] Yep.

- Heath, it's someone about the jet ski.

- [Heath] Thanks, yeah.

Hello? Yes, it is.

- Oh, and I mean to tell you guys.

We might need some help setting up the hall tomorrow.

- Huh?

- The formal.

You know, the event I've been organizing

for the past two months?

- No worries.

- Righto.

- Thanks.

It should be a really good night.

- Yeah.

Hey, maybe I can get my aunts to give me

an advance on birthday and Christmas.

[soft music)

- You're right.

Edge is just assuming I'll go with him.

- How d'you know?

- He told Joe, who told me.

- Okay, so, is that a good thing?

- No, it's not.

I mean, talk about taking someone for granted.

Who does he think he is?

- Maybe he thinks he's your boyfriend?

- Well, he's never talked to me about it.

I mean, for all he knows, someone else could have asked me.

- Or you could have asked someone else.

- Exactly.

Maybe that's what I should do.

- Might teach him a lesson.

- Yeah, but who would I ask?

I mean, the only other guy I'd even consider

going with is Heath.

Unless you're going with him.

Has he asked you?

- No.

- But you could ask him if you wanted.

- No, no, you ask him.

- Are you sure?

Because I don't wanna do anything to get between you guys.

- There's nothing to get between.

Really, it's cool.

♪ Maybe you can work it out ♪

- Hi, is Bryce there, please?

Bryce.

Really?

I thought he worked Thursdays.

- Any offers yet?

- Yeah, Blake's coming to have a look in the morning.

♪ We can work it out ♪

- I was wondering if you wanted to go to the formal with me.

Because I asked Fly if you were going with her,

and she said no, so.

So, what d'you think?

- Aren't you going with Edge?

- No.

- Yeah, sure.

- Great.

- We're gonna have to sort out some suits

to wear to this formal, you know.

- What, are you volunteering?

- I suppose.

You guys give me your sizes, I'll pick them up.

- Sweet. - So, who are you going with?

- Well, I thought I was going with Fly,

but then Bec asked me.

- [Matt] Really?

I thought she was going with Edge.

- Yeah, so did I.

What about you?

- I was thinking of asking Perri.

- You and every other guy on the beach.

- Thanks for your vote of confidence.

- [laughs) Sorry. Go for it, ask her.

But, you'd better hurry up.

[soft guitar music)

- [Matt] The trouble with going after what you want

is you don't know if you're gonna get it.

If you don't go for it, you haven't got a chance.

But if you do go for it, and it doesn't work out,

you can end up wishing you never

had the dream in the first place.

- [Simmo] Come on, Perri!

[splashes)

- Perri, you got a serious toasting out there.

- She's not concentrating.

Come on, Perri, level with us. What's going on?

- Nothing.

♪ Here you are ♪

- Look, whoever the man of the moment is,

he's not worth stuffing up the comp for.

- There is no man of the moment.

♪ Your moment of doubt ♪

- All right, I'll see ya at the back.

♪ As you sink ♪

- You okay?

♪ It's now or never ♪

- Everyone thinks I've got all these guys after me,

and I haven't.

No one's even asked me to the formal.

- Well, boys sometimes find pretty girls hard to approach.

♪ You will be waiting ♪

Who says you have to go with someone, anyway?

Can't you go on your own?

- No.

- Why not?

- Because, I just can't.

You've gotta turn up with someone.

Even if it's just for the photos.

- Why?

- Because you don't wanna be looking back

over your high school photo album,

and seeing a loser who couldn't get a date.

- Yeah, but if you don't care about the guy

you're going with, what's the point?

He's no more than a handbag.

And you have a new handbag, I've seen it myself.

It's green.

[soft guitar music)

Perri, what you want to see when you look back

on your formal photographs is a confident chick

who doesn't need a boy to show her how to have a good time.

- Fly said you sold the jet ski.

How much?

- $,.

- I thought you said nine?

- Advertised it for nine, sold it for $,.

It's called bargaining.

- Yeah, well, you could have bargained with me instead.

- Edge, you didn't have the cash.

- That's 'cause you didn't give me a chance

to get it together!

- What were you gonna do? Sell your grandma?

- What's it to you how I get the money?

What difference does it make?

- None.

- Right, so what's your problem?

- There's no problem.

I wanted to sell it, I sold it.

Bloke's pickin' it up tomorrow.

- Are you serious?

Danny's goin' with Jess?

Me?

No, I still haven't decided yet.

[phone beeps)

- Perri, you forgot something.

[students talking)

- Thanks.

- You having trouble making a choice?

- Sorry?

- Too many offers to the formal?

- Yeah, you know.

- I could help you decide, if you like.

- No, I'm fine.

- Here, give me the list. - What for?

- I'll make it simple for you.

[paper tears)

- See, some things in life, you just gotta leave to chance.

I used to do this when I was a kid,

and I couldn't figure out what to ask Santa for.

So, I just cut up my list, put it in a bag,

and get him to choose.

- Matt, seriously--

- Just hold on a sec.

Mitch, give us your hat for a sec.

[birds calling)

You never know your luck.

- Me.

Is that you?

- Yeah.

It's okay with me if it's okay with you.

- It's okay with me too.

- You?

Perri's going with you?

- Well, don't look so surprised.

- Sorry.

Congrats, man. Well done.

- Thanks.

- Well, maybe you can come with me and Bec,

share a cab or something.

- I thought Bec was going with Heath?

- Who says?

- I'm not really sure, that's just what Perri told me.

[soft music)

- So, what's this about you going to the formal with Heath?

- Yeah, I am.

- When were you planning to tell me?

- I wasn't, why?

- Because I thought we'd be going together.

- Well, if that's what you were planning,

you forgot to tell me.

- Well, what do you want?

A gilt edged invitation?

- No, just a verbal would have done.

- Edge, you didn't ask her you can't expect--

- I didn't think I need to.

- Well, girls like to be asked.

Some thing you just can't take for granted.

- What, so you're the expert now?

- I'm just giving you a tip.

- What am I supposed to do now?

- Just leave it.

[door creaks)

- What, and go with no one?

- If you want.

- No, no way.

Hey, Fly.

Are you going with anyone to the formal?

- There's a big swell down at Warry.

[mumbles)

But it's massive, man! We'll miss it.

- I heard you and Deb got an invite from the star.

- Yeah, well, they probably need a hand

keeping you lot in line.

- We're goin' to the beach for a photo session.

You wanna come?

- Nah, I'll pass, thanks. - [Heath] Suit yourself, man.

- Deb?

Wow, you look great.

- I scrub up all right?

- You sure do.

I've just gotta get changed, but maybe we can

go in the same car, save on petrol?

- Yeah, might as well.

- Not without me, you're not.

But I thought Heath said he sold the jet ski?

- He has, but the guy's not picking it up until tomorrow.

- But if Heath doesn't know we've got it--

- He said to make the most of it.

Chill out, will ya?

- [Perri] Jet ski's missing, Edge's board, Fly's board.

- Edge was banging on about the swell down at Warry.

Well, no prizes for guessing where they've gone.

- Well, they wouldn't, not now.

- Yeah, Edge would.

- Great, I've been dumped for a big swell.

- I bet this was Edge's idea.

- Do you think Heath knows they've got the jet ski?

- Probably not.

- He's going to spew.

- Hey, let's not ruin his night, okay?

I mean, he doesn't need to know.

- Anything?

- No, we must be out of range.

We should make it by :, maybe :.

[thumps)

- What was that?

- Oh, no!

[intense music)

- Oh, my god.

- Good one.

[upbeat music playing)

- Let's go in.

- I can't believe this.

[phone dials)

This isn't like Joe.

- He pays her to say that.

- It's just strange how it all happened.

- Anna, you're coming with me and Heath.

Whatever happens tonight guys,

we are going to have a good time.

- Definitely.

and make sure the wall stays vertical.

You didn't have to come with me tonight, you know, Perri.

- Matt.

- I thought maybe you felt sorry for me or something.

I'll sort something out tomorrow.

- Come on, Edge, hurry up!

[door slams)

[energetic dance music)

- Anna, hi.

I'm really sorry I'm late.

I tried to ring, but--

- Joe, you look really hot.

[crowd gasps)

I think you should chill out.

- Excuse me, have you got any other music?

- This is a request from your friend over here, mate.

- Yeah, well, he hasn't got any taste.

- I'm gonna get some fresh air.

- Ignore him, Heath.

Don't let him spoil your night.

- He thinks he owns the joint and everyone in it.

Hang on.

[energetic dance music)

- Heath! - Why'd you take it?!

- Wait, I can-- [thuds)

- [Fly] Heath!

- Hey, that is enough!

Calm down, Edge.

- [Edge] He's insane!

♪ Come on ♪

♪ Yeah ♪

- Here.

That's all they have, and you don't deserve that.

[crickets chirping)

You think you can have whatever you want, don't you?

- No.

- You think you can take me to the formal

without even asking, take Heath's jet ski

without his permission, you expect to be

able to go down the coast, catch the perfect wave,

come back, and have everything be all right.

But when it doesn't work out, when things don't go your way,

you just destroy the night for everyone else.

- What?

I shouldn't have gone, okay. I stuffed up.

But I wasn't trying to ruin anyone's night.

- For someone who wasn't trying, you did a pretty good job.

- If you wanna know the truth,

when I found out you were going to the formal

with someone else, I wasn't all that keen to go.

- Well, how am I supposed to know if you never

tell me how you feel?

I mean, you can't expect me to read your mind!

I think I made it pretty obvious.

So, I didn't ask you the way you thought I should,

but you knew I wanted to go with you.

If you go around expecting everything to be perfect,

you're gonna end up disappointed.

- Well, maybe that's just the difference between you and me.

- So?

Yin and Yang, that's supposed to be harmonious, isn't it?

- I think I might just stick with Yin for awhile.

[soft guitar music)

- Taking property that is not yours is out.

And using your fists to settle a dispute

is completely unacceptable.

- Heath, have you heard from the guy that's buying the ski?

- Yeah, he canceled the check.

- Right, Edge will make weekly installments

until you can get it fixed, and ready for sale.

- Until further notice, you are grounded

from beach and surf.

- Which is a real pity, because the swell you

were all chasing yesterday just reached us.

- Really? How big?

- Ah, about five foot.

- Ugh.

- Here's trouble.

- These are for you.

- Yes?

- I know I've said it before, but I'll say it again.

I'm sorry. - Okay.

- I'll see you later then, maybe Monday after school?

- Maybe.

- Come on, Anna, he's trying.

- I know, but he owes me big time.

- You're a hard woman.

[Anna speaks foreign language)

- Huh?

- Hard as steel.

- Oh.

[soft music)

- [Matt] That's what life's like.

Sometimes, when you have no expectations at all,

along comes something better than you could

ever have hoped for.
