Rip Tide Page #2

It's working against me.

It calms the mind.

Imagine how much calmer you'd be

if you did it really quickly,

finished, and could

do something else.

You seem to be

missing the point.

You used to hate all this stuff.

The need for stillness

outweighed my ego.

Luckily, I don't have

that problem.

My life is a well-oiled machine.

All set to pick your

niece up this morning?

She doesn't get

in until tomorrow.

You said that yesterday,

and as its habit,

tomorrow is now today.

You've waited for 10 years

for her to come back,

and now you're gonna be late.

Breathe.

Cora?

Oh, my gosh! Look at you!

You're all grown up!

Sorry I'm late.

It's okay.

Oh, you're moving in, huh?

Uh, got to be prepared

for anything.

All you'll need is

your bathing suit.

Jump in.

You want to drive?

Oh.

- Thanks for having me.

- Of course.

It was a wonderful surprise.

Last-minute trip, huh?

Yeah. You know, things

are so busy right now.

If you get a chance for a

holiday, you got to take it.

Well, I'm glad you did.

So, what's the plan?

Oh, uh, no plan, really.

Just kind of gonna

see what happens.

What does your mom think

about you coming to stay?

Hey, you know, she thinks

it's a great idea.

Okay. Good.

How is your mom?

She's good.

She's fine.

Just always working.

It's a shame she couldn't

come out last year.

I'm so sorry about Caleb.

Well, that's life.

I should call Sof anyway.

It's been too long.

Sof.

That's really nice, actually.

Nobody back home calls her that.

Old habits die hard.

You remember when you were

here last with your mom?

Yeah.

Mom and I made a pact

we'd come and visit

every year after that trip,

but I guess life happened.

Well, you're here now.

I had my cake

and you had your doubt

Long gone

My baby's gonna carry on

Long gone

My baby's gonna carry on

Ohh.

Oh, you got to be kidding me.

You better be

the new paper boy, Owen.

Margs, I just need

you to hear me out, okay?

I want to help you.

- Oh, do you hear that, Bee?

Owen wants to help out.

You can start with the bags,

and then, you know,

the lawn needs a mow.

Sell me the surf school,

and I'll do you a good deal.

You've only got

one instructor left.

The thing is just sitting there.

We had plenty of instructors

before you started

stealing them.

And don't call me Margs.

You know how much I hate it.

Hello, little fish.

Cora, you remember

my mother-in-law, Bee?

Yes, of course.

It's very nice to see you.

You're all grown up.

Listen, they

needed the work, okay?

Things have been

drying up here for months,

and Tom's a good kid,

but you're wasting his talent

on a handful of tourists.

- How many times

do we have to have

this conversation?
