- Yeah it was fun.

- Ok cool.

I'm gonna leave.

Wait, come here...

I'm tired.

Goodnight.

Did I write this sh*t?

Oh my God.

Hello! Hello! Is anybody out there?

Hello... Shaun?

- Who the f*** is this?

- Master does not know his own student.

Student is ashamed.

Master gets old.

Where'd you find these?

Dude, they were just laying

around the house.

Gabe and I used to stay up for

hours on these.

I can't believe that these

go all the way to your house.

All the way to the ghetto.

They were the latest technology

back then.

I think your dad bought them

in an airport.

when he missed a Christmas one year.

Step-dad.

Yeah, I remember that year.

I think he got me a talking dart board.

That sucks!

Oh hey, I saw some of your tags today.

They're sweet.

- Yeah?

- You've got the crane going on, looks cool.

Glad to see someone's doing

their artwork.

Yeah, sometimes.

It was nice riding out there today.

Yeah.

What's up?.

Your batteries are probably gonna run out.

Probably haven't been replaced

in 10 years.

What are you listening to?

Nothing...

He's a fighter.

He's gonna kick his ass.

But he wants to look good...

kicking his ass.

He's wearing a sweet suit

And he's gonna kick his ass.

Dude, it's breaking overhead

Let's roll to the 'bu.

I'm working.

Really? That's too bad.

Alright, I'll see you later then.

Alright! Hold on, I'll come.

You might wanna change first.

Come on dude, let's go!

Dude, it's a f***ing circus out there.

I'll protect you from the big brewery.

P*ssy!

Go... I've got a better spot.

Better spot...

- It's nice.

- Yeah.

- The waves are great.

- Just gotta figure out where this road is.

Oh right there!

Careful.

- Should've told me sooner.

- Sorry.

This is rad!

Sorry I never told you and Gabe

about this place, man.

I just didn't want it to turn into the

remnants of your keggers every Sunday morning.

This is my place I used to get away to

come and just think.

- And surf?

- And surf.

Let's go.

So you still thinking about

applying to art school?

I do street art now.

It's cool though, you know.

What are you working on?

A book.

It's been like 3 years since

the last one, right?

- Is is really long or something?

- F*** off.

You sure didn't leave much out

of the last one.

You read it?

Who knew there'd be so much drama

inside the gates of Pacific Bluffs.

I never knew.

You never really know

what's happening inside.

That's what I liked about it.

- I did embellish a little bit, it is fiction.

- You changed a couple of names?

When did you read it?

When it came out.

Funny, Gabe never mentioned anything.

I never told him.

Why would he tell you?
