Perhaps master underestimates student.

Bring it on, city boy!

- Looks like we picked a good time to come out.

- Yeah, the tide's coming in.

Hey, where are you living now?

With Jeanne in San Pedro.

It's just for now.

I'm trying to save up to get my own place.

Well close to my dad and work and stuff.

Well you guys are welcome to come out

here anytime you want.

Just like old times, huh?

Minus Gabe.

Right.

Hey... you see him much?

A bit. He came down last year

with some of his friends.

Those guys like to party.

You can say that again.

How is Jeanne doing?

You know, the same I guess?

I try to help out as much as I can.

I cannot see her as a mom.

Cody must be getting big?

Yeah, he's five already.

It's crazy. Time just flies.

Trust me, it only gets faster.

Yeah, I bet.

Hey, monkey!

Hey, monkey!

What's up?

What are you doing down here?

Some beers, the dogs,

and a fire on the beach.

Come down, grab a beer.

- Cool, I'll be down in a sec.

- Alright.

Do you wanna go grab a beer or do

you wanna just take off?

Yeah, I'll grab a beer.

Sounds good.

So who'd you come down with?

Billy.

Who is that?

Shaun!

- Gabe's brother?

- Yeah.

He doesn't come back much.

He's been pretty MIA.

Nice to see you.

It's good to see you too.

Going long!

Are you gonna play or are you just

gonna talk sh*t about me?

Nice throw.

I'm Tori.

I remember you.

You were 13 and you had crimped hair.

But I remember you.

I bought you guys wine coolers.

- I think you puked on my parents' deck.

- Wow.

- You still putting up with this guy's sh*t?

- Well we're both still here.

Right on.

That's why you never tell a woman

how to cook a chicken.

I can't believe you got shot by a chick.

Shaun, right?

Aren't you Gabe's bro?

Yeah.

Heard you went all Hollywood

writing movies or something.

Yeah, or something.

What's the deal?

You're still with Tori then?

Are you a fag?

I mean she's hot.

So it's cool if I move in on that then?

The swell's coming in.

Yeah it looks that way.

- Trip seeing Tori.

- Yeah, I bet.

You guys have been together for years.

Yeah we're just taking a little break

right now.

She's my best friend.

Other than Gabe.

It's all good.

You dating anyone?

No, I just broke up.

Yeah?

Is that why you're really down here?

No...

Yeah, actally it is.

I moved out of our place and my new lease

doesn't start until the end of the month.

That's cool.

I'm sorry.

Hello?

I thought we weren't gonna leave him over there.

No, don't drive, Jeanne.

I'll go get him.

Yeah.

I gotta go.

Alright.

Tori said she needs a ride so...

That's cool, I'll catch a ride

from someone.

Great riding today.

- Alright.

- It was good seeing you man.
