Eagle vs Shark Page #3

Synopsis: In Wellington, Lily is a wallflower, inexplicably attracted to Jerrod, a loser. He's nursing a decade-long grudge against someone who teased him in high school; she's just out of a job. She goes home with him to a seacoast town where he intends to have it out with his nemesis; she meets his father, his daughter from a one-night stand, and other family members - and there's the memory of his talented (and dead) brother. Jerrod treats Lily badly, invents a relationship with a women he had a crush on years before, and gears up for his fight. Will she finally have enough and go home?

- Jarrod?

- Yeah?

- Eagle, eh?

- What?

Your favorite animal? Eagle?

Yeah, or cobra.

But, yeah,

pretty much eagle rules.

- Okay. See ya.

- See ya.

- Hey.

- Hi.

Yeah, so I didn't end up going

to that movie. Did you?

Yep, oh, no.

I knew it.

How did you find out where I live?

I got my flatmate

to ring up your work.

Tell them it was an emergency.

You probably shouldn't go in there.

They think you're dead.

Yeah. I had to be alone.

I got depressed about something.

I suffer from depression.

Fifty.

Break.

Yeah,

that makes me pretty intense.

I just do stuff without thinking.

What's wrong?

I need to go home.

To my hometown.

Oh, that sounds cool.

No. It's not cool.

It's necessary.

Why?

Because of my mission.

It's time to put my training

into use.

What do you have to do?

Kill a man...

probably.

- Who?

- Eric Elisi.

He's Samoan.

Why? What did he do?

Nearly ruined my life,

that's all.

He's my high school Nemesis.

He's been living in Samoa,

but I just heard from my contact...

that he's gonna be coming home

soon.

When he gets back...

guess who's gonna be forming

the welcoming party?

- You?

- You got it, girl.

What exactly

are you gonna do to him?

I'm gonna kick his Samoan arse,

that's what.

It's time to pay the piper.

He's gonna reap what he sowed

and it sure ain't corn...

or wheat.

When are you going?

That's the f***in' point.

I can't leave!

Sorry.

I told you, I just snap sometimes.

It's my depression.

Sorry.

- Why can't you leave?

- Because I don't have any wheels.

How the hell am I gonna get there

if I got no wheels?

- On a bus?

- I'm not gonna take a damn bus.

It'll take ages. I'll get there in,

like, two weeks or something.

- Why don't you hire a car?

- Okay. Sure.

Have you got, like,

a million dollars for me?

- What about Damon?

- Who?

My brother.

Oh, yeah, sorry.

He's got a car.

He's got a Ford Laser.

Shall I ask him?

Yeah.

Damon, would it be alright

if we borrowed your car...

to take Jarrod to his hometown?

Yes.

He said yes.

I heard.

Thanks, man.

You're cool.

Horse.

Damn.

I've got fourteen now,

you've only got eight.

You're too good.

How many have you got,

Jarrod?

None.

- Horse.

- Damn.

Look, I don't even get it.

Just whenever you see a horse,

you say "horse".

And whoever in the end has

the most horses wins all the horses.

Well, no. Not so much really,

just like pretend.

Yeah well,

it's not even a real game.

I don't really want to play

this game anymore, Damon. It's dumb.

Hey, so.

What did the Samoan guy

do to you?

Damon,

that actually might be personal.

It's cool.

Him and some other guys from school

used to gang up on me.

I used to be a bit of a nerd.
