You gotta get you education.

That's just a fact of life.

Especially when you've

got parents that are

willing to pay for it.

Your parents make

you go to college?

Did they make me go?

Don't I wish.

No, I did everything

the hard way.

Twenty years in the army,

taking classes on the side,

saving every penny I could.

But see, that was my plan.

And here I am.

Gonna be opening a second

location soon, too.

That's great, Carl.

Look, all you have to do

is come up with a plan

that will please you,

your parents,

but most importantly God.

Is that all?

That's all.

Ha ha ha.

Look, why don't you

talk to your folks.

You might be surprised

how receptive they can be

when they see that you're

taking some action.

Do you do much night surfing?

Night surfing?

It's kinda hard

to see the waves, Carl.

Well, you can always

take night classes.

Same credit, same degree.

Now, get on outta here,

I gotta lock up.

Thanks.

Thanks, Carl.

Lou's Records.

Oh, I was hangin' with Nat

down at the shop today,

he was telling me how

there was an opening

on the surf team and how

tryouts were coming up...

I mean, I'm sure you

heard about it.

Yeah.

Yeah, I heard about it.

Well, you're gonna tryout, right?

I don't know.

What do you mean

you don't know, man?

I mean, think about it

this is your shot.

You make the team,

and you're on your way.

Maybe.

Maybe...

Well, I took the liberty

of signing us both up.

You did what?

I had to, man.

What do you mean

you had to, Case?

Well that new guy from school

was in the shop today

and he was talking to Nat.

He was all like,

"Oh, that spot is so mine."

And I was like, Psh,

that's funny coming from

"a guy who doesn't know

how to pop up."

So I signed us up.

I'm just looking out

for you, bro.

Besides, that spot, all you.

Yeah, yeah.

Ah, here we go, jackpot.

Nice.

See, I told you

Lou's Records would have it.

You see this price?

Pretty nice.

What's this?

So, I have a plan.

There's tryouts coming up

for the local surf team.

I'm signed up, and I think

I really have a shot.

Luke, we've talked

about this surfing thing.

Honey, your son has a plan,

I think we should let him finish.

Okay, so here's the deal.

If I make the surf team,

I get to keep surfing full time.

But I promise I will

go to night classes

at the community college.

And if you don't make it?

I mean if, if I don't make it,

then I mean...

you can pick any college

you want me to go to

even if it's a thousand miles

away from the nearest beach.

But I'm still gonna get

my education either way.

So... you really can't lose.

I mean, what good

is making this surf team?

Are they gonna pay your rent?
