Yeah, from the sounds of her,

I'm surprised you even noticed.

Nice one, Gus.

"With sculptured

arms for paddling,...

...velcro neck and snap

fasteners for the cold,...

...it's just for surfers."

That's just for millionaire

surfers, more like it.

Who's got 60 bucks

lying around?

We'll be dead and buried by the

time it makes it down here.

Who cares?

- Hey, mom?

- I'm not here.

Got a sec?

Hey!

Hey!

Check it out!

It's rubberman!

Jeez, aren't you embarrassed?

No.

Why should I be?

He was talking

to your board, mate.

Hey, boys.

Great swell, boys.

You're not going in?

Yeah, it's bloody cold, eh?

- Yeah.

- Freezing, isn't it? Brrr!

Yeah.

Yeah.

Hey!

Hey!

Fair go.

Turn that thing off,

put your feet up, mom.

Nearly done.

"Mark 2."

What do you think?

I might struggle

to squeeze into it.

Mick Harris saw Jimmy's one and

asked if we'd make one for his son.

Well, tell him to make

his own wetsuit.

Said he'd pay $15.

- 15 bucks.

- Mm-hmm.

Well, what are you waiting for?

Sew, woman!

You in there, jimbo?

Jimmy, let's fix this car.

What the hell?

Haven't seen Jimmy,

have you, Ron?

Yeah, he was here

a couple hours ago.

Said he was headed home.

Everything all right?

Yeah.

Yeah, sweet as.

Ah, Jesus! Get back here!

Stop!

What are you doing?!

- What the f*** are you doing?

- Andy.

- Give me a hand, quick!

- F***!

Thanks, man.

You stay away

from my f***in' brother.

Open this bloody door!

Here! Police!

You got to take it all back,...

...leave it outside the cop shop

with a little note...

...saying who it belonged to.

Yeah, right.

Do it or don't bother

coming back.

Percy started working for my

father straight out of school,...

- ...and that was 1920...?

- Two.

'22. Since then, well, he's become

part of the fabric of the place.

So in honor of 50 years

of hard work and dedication,

I'd like to present him with a

small token of our appreciation.

- Well done, Perce.

- All right!

Speech! Give

us a speech, Perce.

Thanks.

- Good on ya.

- Yay! Love you, mate.

Well, that's it, gentlemen.

Back to work. Thank you.

Mrs. Kelly, you look

absolutely fantastic.

I wish my mom dressed like you.

Oh, thanks. You

want some more salad?

Yeah.

Good size flatty.

I'm surprised you had time to go

fishing, considering your busy schedule.

Had to go into town,

drop a bunch of stuff off.

Caught 'em after that.

- Howdy, Gus.

- Yeah, hi, Andy.

- How you goin'?

- Yeah, good.

- What's the occasion?

- Mr. O'Reilly offered me a promotion, didn't he?

Hey, nice one, mate.

- That's unreal.

- Yeah.

More bucks, more hours--

the whole nine yards.

Aw, that's fantastic, love.

When do you start?
