Baywatch

-WELL, THE WAVE RUNNER'S HERE, BUT...

WHERE'S EVERYBODY ELSE?

I DON'T KNOW,

MAYBE THEY DIDN'T COME. COME ON, LET'S GO.

NO, NO. WAIT A SECOND.

THORPE TOLD ME THE BOARD OF SUPERVISORS WAS GONNA BE HERE.

.WELL, THEY'RE NOT. SO COME ON, LET'S GO.

LOOK AT THAT GUY BRINGING THAT ADDICTOR CLOSE TO SHORE.

PLEASE?

-HEY! GET THAT THING OUT BEYOND THE SURF LINE.

NOW!

WHOA!

DAMN IT!

-DAD, DONT! HELP!

-PLEASE, DON'T GO OUT THERE.

-WHAT ARE YOU DOING? LET GO.

-DAD, PLEASE DON'T GO OUT THERE.

-WHAT IS WRONG WITH YOU? -DON'T GO OUT THERE.

LET GO OF ME.

-COME ON, DAD. DON'T GO OUT THERE.

HELP, HELP! -DAD, COME BACK.

AH!

-PLEASE DON'T GO OUT THERE.

HELP!

DAD!

DIVE DOWN!

DAD!

HOBIE.

DAD, YOU'RE ALL RIGHT.

YEAH, OF COURSE.

I'M OKAY, IT'S JUST A DREAM.

I WAS SO SCARED.

IT'S OKAY, IT'S OKAY.

JUST A BAD DREAM, THAT'S ALL.

-I KEPT CALLING TO YOU, BUT YOU COULDN'T HEAR ME.

IT WAS COMING RIGHT AT YOU. IT SEEMED SO REAL.

-WHAT COLOR WAS THE WAVE RUNNER?

YELLOW.

YELLOW.

THE COLOR OF RESCUE VEHICLES.

YEAH.

HEY, HOLD IT, SIR.

LAST NIGHT BEFORE WE WENT TO BED,

WEREN'T WE TALKING ABOUT USING WAVE RUNNERS AS RESCUE VEHICLES?

-DON'T GET THEM, DAD. SOMETHING BAD WILL HAPPEN IF YOU DO.

OH, HOBIE.

I'M SERIOUS, DAD.

IT SAYS IN THIS BOOK

THAT SOME DREAMS ARE PREMONITIONS,

LIKE WARNINGS NOT TO DO STUFF.

AND THIS WAS ONE, I KNOW IT.

-I KNOW YOUR DREAMS SEEM REAL, BUT IT WAS JUST A SCARY DREAM. THAT'S ALL.

BUT DREAMS CAN COME TRUE.

-I'M NOT GONNA GET RUN DOWN BY A JET SKI.

TRUST ME.

NOW COME ON, FINISH YOUR CEREAL. WE GOT A BIG DAY AHEAD OF US.

- -I KNOW.

-MITCH, I'VE BEEN ROUND AND AROUND WITH THE COUNTY ON THIS.

THEY STILL THINK IT'S AN UNNECESSARY EXPENDITURE.

-I'M TELLING YOU, WAVE RUNNERS CAN SAVE LIVES.

-THEORETICALLY. -DEFINITELY.

JUST GET ME A DEMONSTRATION, THAT'S ALL I ASK.

-YOU MEAN YOU EXPECT THEM TO COME DOWN HERE AND GET SAND IN THEIR SHOES?

-BETTER THAN BETWEEN THEIR EARS, WHERE IT IS NOW.

LOOK, WE GET THE FACTORY TO OUTPUT A PROTOTYPE,

NO EXPENSE TO THE COUNTY.

WE SET UP A MOCK RESCUE AND SHOW THEM WHAT WAVE RUNNERS CAN REALLY DO.

-YOU REALLY FEEL VERY STRONGLY ABOUT THIS, DON'T YOU?

ABSOLUTELY.

ONE WAVE RUNNER CAN TAKE THREE GUARDS TO A RESCUE IN A QUARTER OF THE TIME.

OR LET ONE GUARD BRING IN TWO VICTIMS WITHOUT HAVING TO SWIM THEM THROUGH THE SURF.

SOUNDS LIKE A DREAM.

-YOU BEEN TALKING TO HOBIE? -HOBIE? NO, WHY?

-NEVER MIND, JUST GET ME THE DEMO.

NO PROMISES.

BUT I'LL, UH... I'LL DO MY BEST.

-THANKS. -

LET ME GUESS.

THE REDHEAD ON THE ROLLERBLADES.

NOPE.

-WHAT, SOME KIND OF PROBLEM?

I'M AFRAID SOMEBODY DIED.

WHERE?

-ON THE GOLD COAST, THE OLD JAMES HOUSE.

-BEN, NO ONE'S LIVED IN THAT HOUSE FOR 20 YEARS.

31.

MAGGIE JAMES WAS LIVING AS A RECLUSE IN NEW ENGLAND.

SHE DIDN'T SELL IT, DIDN'T RENT IT.

SO IF SOMEBODY NEW IS MOVING IN,

SHE MUST HAVE PASSED AWAY.

THAT'S TOO BAD.

-MAGGIE JAMES WAS THE MOST BEAUTIFUL WOMAN THAT EVER GRACED THE SILVER SCREEN.

SHE WAS MORE PROVOCATIVE THAN VERONICA LAKE,

MORE ELEGANT THAN GRACE KELLY,

TOUGHER THAN BETTE DAVIS.

WOW.

-HER LAST YEAR IN THAT HOUSE WAS MY ROOKIE YEAR ON THE BEACH.

DID YOU GET TO KNOW HER?

SADLY, NO.

I JUST WATCHED HER FROM AFAR LIKE A LOVESICK FOOL.

-I DON'T BELIEVE THAT FOR A MINUTE.

NOT THE LEGENDARY BEN EDWARDS.

THOUGHT YOU DATED EVERY STARLET WHO CAME WITHIN WALKING DISTANCE OF YOUR TOWER.

STARLET?

MAGGIE JAMES WAS A STAR.

HEY, IT'S ME.

LISTEN, I'M GONNA BE DONE IN ABOUT TEN MINUTES

SO WHY DON'T YOU MEET ME HERE, WE'LL DO A LITTLE WORKOUT,

AND THEN GO GET SOMETHING TO EAT.

YEAH, I KNOW.

WORKING VENICE IS WEIRD.

GET THIS ONE, THIS IS CLASSIC.

SOME CULT WAS DOWN HERE EARLIER,

DRAWING CIRCLES IN THE SAND

SO THE SPACESHIPS COULD SEE WHERE TO PICK THEM UP.

AND THOSE ARE THE SANE ONES.

WHEW.

YOU KNOW, IT SURE IS GETTING HOT IN HERE.

- -

-UH, SHAUNI, I THINK MY TOWER IS ON FIRE.

CALL IT IN, WOULD YA?

HEY! GET OUT OF THERE!

WHAT, ARE YOU CRAZY? YOU'RE GONNA BURN YOURSELF.

HEY!

SUMO! SUMO! SUMO!

SUMO!

CONNORS TOOK HIM IN.

LET ME TELL YOU, THIS CRAZY WAS SUCKING UP TOO MANY FUMES.

EDDIE, I KNOW SCORCH. HE'S BEEN WORKING THE STRAND FOR YEARS.

HE'S NOT CRAZY.

-MITCH, THE MAN EATS FIRE. HE IS CRAZY.

-SO HE COOKS HIS FOOD AFTER HE SWALLOWS IT, BIG DEAL.

-MITCH, THE GUY BURNED DOWN MY TOWER.

YEAH, I KNOW.

-CONNORS THINKS SCORCH GOT A HOLD OF SOME BAD DRUGS.

WHAT ARE YOU DOING?

YOUR HAIR GOT A LITTLE SINGED.

DON'T TOUCH THAT!

MISS, MISS JAMES!

YOU'RE ALIVE!

-DO I LOOK LIKE A GHOST TO YOU?

NO! NO, NOT AT ALL.

-THEN I'M STILL FLESH AND BLOOD.

WHO ARE YOU?

WHY ARE YOU HERE?

-UM, MY NAME IS BEN EDWARDS, MA'AM.

I'M AN L.A. COUNTY LIFEGUARD.

I MAKE UP FOR THIS WITH EXPERIENCE.

MAY I SAY, MISS JAMES, THAT YOU...

YOU'RE JUST AS-- NO YOU'RE MORE BEAUTIFUL THAN EVER.

-YOU MAY, BUT I DON'T BELIEVE IT.

HOWEVER, I LOVE COMPLIMENTS.

YOU MUST BE THIRSTY.

-YES, MA'AM. I'M DRY AS A BONE.

OH, MAN.

-THIS HOUSE WAS SO ALIVE BEFORE I LEFT IT.

ALWAYS A PARTY.

ALWAYS VISITORS.

AND WHEN I SEE IT IN MY MIND'S EYE, IN MY MEMORY,

I'M ALWAYS ALONE AT SUNSET.

THOUGH, I DON'T THINK I EVER WAS.

THANK YOU.

YOU KNOW, I WONDERED ABOUT THAT--

-DON'T ASK ME QUESTIONS OR YOU SHALL HAVE TO LEAVE.

OH, I'M SORRY.

NEVER APOLOGIZE.
