- Mr Thompson, hello.

- Hello, Ms Horton. Got your order ready.

That will be S12.10.

Make it $12 even.

This is Tim, Mr Thompson.

- Hello son.

- Hi.

We're gonna take the jeep.

Heh heh.

I've never been for a

ride on the beach before.

Listen.

It's fun.

Sit down or you'll fall off.

Heh heh heh.

Oh, this is nice.

- Let me help you.

- I got it.

Well, I think that's

enough work for today.

- Would you like to go surfing?

- Oh yes!

Look, I brought my

swimming trunks like you said.

Oh good. You go change

and I'll get you some towels.

All right.

What's the matter?

You said we were going swimming.

Oh! Not me, you.

I haven't been near the water in years.

Well, you have to come

swimming with me, Mary.

Oh, I'm sorry.

I burn so easily.

But it won't be the same.

Look, I can't go swimming all by myself.

Please come swimming with me, Mary.

I don't even know if I have

a bathing suit down here.

Well, go and take a look, please.

Please go and take a look.

Alright, I'll take a look.

- You found one?

- Yes.

- Now we can go swimming.

- Yes.

How come if you live down here,

you never go to the beach?

Well.

If I live here, I'll go to

the beach everyday.

- It is beautiful, isn't it?

- Yeah.

- Where do you want me to put the chair?

- This is fine.

Are you coming?

- Ah, I'll check the water.

- Come on. Let's go in.

Let me give it a try. Wait a

minute, I forgot the shoes.

Come on.

Go on.

Nice.

Come on!

- Where are you going?

- Oh, it's too cold.

- Come on back!

- Oh!

Oh! It's so cold.

- Are you coming in?

- No, I'll stay right here.

Alright, I'll go for a dip.

- Are you sure you won't come in?

- Oh, I can't. It's too cold.

Alright, let's go for

a run on the beach.

Alright!

Hey, turn your lights out.

Goodbye Mary.

Thanks for taking me to the beach.

- Goodnight Tim.

- Goodbye.

So that's Mary Horton.

Who?

- Tim works for her weekends.

- Aah.

I think, that's about

enough of it for one night.

- Are you happy?

- What do you think?

Have a cup of tea, son?

No, thanks, mom. I'm sleepy.

I think I'll go to bed.

- Alright then, son.

- Goodnight mom, goodnight dad.

Goodnight son.

- Goodnight.

- Goodnight.

- Hello Dawnie.

- Oh, good day Tim.

- Been out tonight, eh?

- Yeah, with Mick.

- How did the weekend go?

- Oh, great.

I want you to see

what Mary gave me.

- How about that?

- Oh yeah.

The Wind in the Willows.

I read it at school.

It's all about animals

that talk like people.

Mary's been teaching me to read.

She says I'm doing real good.

- You want to hear me read out.

- Oh, not now, Tim. I'm a bit tired.

- Tomorrow maybe, heh?

- Alright.

- Alright Dawnie.

- Goodnight Tim. Sleep tight.
