In God's Hands Page #3

---

Standing in the middle

of the bay of alaska.

You drop a boulder

in the water.

And the rings fan out.

The swells keep going until

something gets in their way:

An island, a continent,

A reef, something

that forces them to peak...

And break...

And roll.

That make

sense to you ?

Probably not.

If you understood what

I was saying, I probably

wouldn't be saying it.

Say a big swell hits Hawaii,

And you ride one of those

huge waves there.

The wave folds back

together on the other

side of the island,

And back out

across the ocean--

Like these rings--

to wherever it needs to go.

Then all you would

need to do to ride

it again...

Is find out where

it's headed next--

To beat it there...

However you can.

It's what

I've been doing.

I'm trying

to figure it out.

Why is it, when the waves

are just right,

When it's big enough

and hollow enough,

And I'm inside of it,

Everything--

whatever I'm doing,

Why I'm doin' it--

In that moment

it all makes sense ?

Most everybody wants

something else from it.

I'm afraid

if I ask for more,

it'll all disappear.

Hey, I'd be careful

if I were you.

I know you're

the captain's daughter and all.

We just got into a bunch

of trouble because of a woman.

- Scared me to death.

- You're very young.

Yeah. I am young.

Where's your home ?

I live with my friends.

Wherever the surf's good.

You know mickey ?

He used to be number two

in the world.

Pro tour and everything.

Could have been

number one, but--

I don't know. See him ?

He's the best in the world.

That's what mickey says.

That's what everybody says.

Won't compete

on the tour, though.

Don't know why.

Guess he doesn't

like hotel rooms

or something like that.

But... He's a hot surfer.

I guess that's all

that matters.

When I'm old enough,

I'm going on that tour...

And cashing in,

making a million bucks...

And buyin' my mom a house

and fixin' her teeth.

'cause everybody's got

to have beautiful teeth.

Even moms.

Do you know

that salt water...

Is the most closely

related to human blood ?

And you know what

that reminds me of ?

Our own essence, gentlemen.

[ vocalists,

african dialect ]

Lookin' sharp.

Lookin' sharp.

[ continues ]

[ fades, ends ]

She wants

to go with ya.

When my wife

was alive,

We found her

on the streets of rio

as a child.

I brought her on board

to save her life.

She recognizes herself

in ya. Same eyes.

Same heart.

Without lies.

Takin' only

what you need.

Givin' only

what you can.

She feels safe with ya,

Although she knows

she'll never stay

with ya forever.

[ loud cheering ]

[ shouting, jeering ]

Kick his ass !

Go to him,

go to him.

[ keoni ]

no, no. Go on, mickey.
