Soul Surfer Page #3

I mean, I really, really wish I could go.

It's just,

I've got to stay and train for regionals.

Did you say you'd go?

Well, yeah,

but that was before I got sponsored.

I mean, it's like she's counting on me now,

like I'm the only person in the entire world

who can do this.

I mean, I'm not going.

I mean, I can't, right?

It's your call.

Great. Now I feel even worse.

That's good.

A small step in a good direction.

The girls are all tucked in.

- How's it look tomorrow?

- Pretty decent, actually.

- Well.

- No, no, no, you can't.

What?

You have your surgery tomorrow.

The doctor said no food after 10:00.

This is like juice.

- Give it to me.

- No. No, no.

- Give it.

- No.

- Give it. Give it.

- No.

You need to relax,

they'll never know the difference.

Maybe we shouldn't. I mean, we have

to get up super early for dawn patrol.

- I mean, what happens if my mom comes in?

- Bethany, it'll be worth it.

The moon's full. The waves are perfect.

I mean, come on, it's almost Halloween.

Even Noah's done it.

- He has?

- Yeah.

- I really wanted to go.

- Okay, come on, let's go.

- Keoki.

- I knew it was you!

No way!

Yeah, you surf like a skater.

Hey!

You're toast, Keoki.

- Okay, truce. Truce.

- Okay, deal.

Bethy, it's almost midnight.

- What happens at midnight?

- You'll see.

What?

Later skater.

How lucky are we?

Awesome!

Good morning.

- Morning.

- Morning.

So, as soon as you girls get back

from the water,

I've got an English assignment all ready

for you.

But it's a holiday.

It's Halloween.

We were thinking that we could have

a couple extra hours on the waves today?

'Cause you didn't get enough last night?

Just say the word

and we can enroll you girls in Kapa'a,

where you can ride the bus

for 45 minutes each way

and do eight hours of straight work

during prime surf hours.

'Cause I'm all right with that.

Actually, I love home school.

Me, too. Adore, totally.

I'm really sorry, Mom. It's just...

I really, really wanted to go night surfing.

I mean,

everyone talks about how awesome it is.

- I mean, even Noah's done it.

- He has?

Good job.

- Why didn't you just ask?

- Because she knew you'd say no.

How do you know I'd say no?

- Would you have let me go?

- No. I don't know.

Hey, no, no, no, no.

I promise I'll ask next time, okay?

I'm going to hold you to that.

Dad, you should have them upgrade you

to a bionic knee

so you can actually beat Mom in surfing.

It's going to take a lot more

than a bionic knee.

You just wait.

You sure you don't want me to drive you?

Mom, I got it.

When you come through it, I will be waiting.

That's your dad, Alana. Have fun girls.

Bye.

Bye, Dad. Say hi to Dr. Rovinsky for me.
