moderate today...

Scamp. Come here.

Come on.

...from Hollywood Beach all the

way to Malibu Beach. Come here.

Wave maximums are three feet

on a 12-second interval.

Good boy.

Good boy!

Air temperature is 82 degrees,

and sea temperature is...

Morning!

Hope you had

a good night's sleep.

Just fine, thank you.

Can I borrow

a towel from you?

You don't have a towel?

Forget it. I'll just let

the sun dry me out.

It's better for you anyway.

Here, use this.

Thank you.

She wants to know the reason

Got to know the reason why

this man has got to go

I would've brought

my own towel, but, uh...

I was gonna get it from my friend's house,

but guess what happened.

Don't you wanna know

what happened?

Okay, what?

They weren't there.

Last night, I had to sleep on the

beach with no blanket or nothin'.

Some friends, huh?

Are you finished

with that chicken?

Yes.

Are you gonna give it to Scamp

or throw it away, or what?

Would you like some?

Oh, yes.

Thank you.

Hi, Scamp.

Is that wine?

Thank you.

Here, Scamp.

No, don't feed him.

No? Okay.

Sorry, Scamp.

She wants to know

Wants to know the reason

Got to know the reason why

This man has got to go

This man is always leavin'

How he hates

to say goodbye

See, the thing is,

most of my friends are undependable.

Except for Gregg,

and Gregg is in jail now.

But I told you that.

I gotta get him out.

Do you, uh,

like to cook?

I like to read.

The only reason I said

it is this chicken...

It's so well prepared.

What...

What do you do?

Do you... Do you deep-fry it, or, um...

Do you broil it?

Do you wanna be alone? If you wanna be alone,

I... I can take a hint.

Yes.

Geez, what a world.

Because my friends

are undependable,

I gotta put up with

this humiliation and hurt.

Look, take the chicken

and the wine, would you?

Look, I'm not that hungry,

even though I hate waste.

The only reason I came by was to tell you,

since you're into pills,

I can get you any kind

of mood changers you want.

I am not into pills.

Well, maybe you should be.

I mean, you need somethin' to mellow you out.

I mean, really.

You... You're so uptight.

Thanks for the chicken.

Have a nice day.

Did I leave my t-shirt here?

It's right over there.

Hi.

Excuse me.

Hey, can I talk to you?

No. Really,

it's an intrusion.

I know.

I know I've been an intrusion.

And I... And I... I do apologize.

It's just that...

You know, my friends

weren't here...

...and you can't imagine

what it's been like.

I mean, really.

Nice radio.

Well, look, if your friends aren't here,

why don't you just go home?

My car broke down.

That's how come.

My car's about as dependable

as my friends are.
