Flirting with Forty Page #4

Excuse me, miss.

I believe you signed up

for a surf lesson today...

...and it looks like you're running late.

So, I'll grab your bag and towel, but...

If you want to come with

me to the beach right now...

Yeah. Surf lesson.

That's why I came to

Hawaii. To learn how to surf.

Yeah, and I'm sorry I kept you.

- Yeah. No worries at all.

- Okay.

Sorry, Michael. Nice to meet you.

Thank you for saving me.

- Merry Christmas.

- Merry Christmas to you, too.

So, how about a lesson?

- For real?

- Why not?

Why? You can't teach an old dog new tricks.

What dog? And who's old?

Well, thanks, but I... No.

Okay. Well, if you change

your mind, I'm around.

By the way, the name's Kyle.

Kyle. I'm Jackie. Thanks

again for rescuing me.

It was my pleasure.

Shoot! What's happening?

- Hi. Are you here for a lesson?

- Yes.

Let me take your name and room number.

- Yeah, it's Jackie, Room 276.

- Jackie.

Jackie, 276. Do you have

an instructor in mind?

- No.

- No?

Good, I'll sign you up with Karen.

Wait. You know what?

There's someone I met. Kyle.

Kyle's booked.

Can I give you a call if someone cancels?

No, no. Oh, no. That won't be necessary.

- It's no bother. Really.

- No. No bother. I'm good.

"Old dog"? You actually said that?

Well, he made me so nervous.

Yeah, but that was your excuse?

That you're 40 and you

can't try something new?

Well, it does sound stupid hearing it back.

It is stupid.

Okay. Hey, how is your grandmother?

Scared. And hates hospitals.

I'm really glad I stayed.

I'm sorry.

How's the room?

The room is gorgeous,

Kristine. Thank you so much.

Jackie?

Kris, can I call you back?

Sure.

Hi.

- You were looking for me?

- No.

Really? 'Cause Tommy said

you came by for a lesson.

Yeah, that. Well, you convinced me.

And you know, you're all booked.

Actually, I have a

cancellation tomorrow at 5:00.

So, last session of the day?

No, no. That's okay. I'm good.

You know, surf wisdom says

that you've gotta swim out.

...of your comfort zone to catch the

wave that's gonna change your life.

Surfing's going to change my life?

See you tomorrow at 5:00.

Great. Now, just keep your knees bent.

...and your head in the center of the board.

Just like you're dancing.

All right. It tips, remember?

Yeah. You know, can't we go out

when it's a little less wavy?

No, no. See, we actually want waves.

We're looking for that. Waves...

Waves are good.

That good?

Remember to keep your head in the

center of the board, and relax.

Here we go.

Watch your step.

Scootch down on your board.

- Little more.

- More?

- Little more.

- More?

- A little more.

- More?

You're good.

Paddle.

I want you to get to your

knees, relax and paddle.
