Baywatch

-I TOLD YOU YOU WAITED TOO LONG FOR THIS.

-HEY, I MEANT TO MAKE THAT MOVE, DUDE.

SOMEDAY THEY'RE GONNA CALL THAT A "BUCHANNON"

IN BOOGIE BOARD COMPETITION.

HEY, WE GOTTA HUSTLE.

I TOLD BEN I'D HAVE YOU READY TO GO BY 10.

WHERE'S HE TAKING ME?

BIG SURPRISE.

DAD?

YOU KNOW WHEN MOM WAS HERE FOR THE REUNION?

WELL, WE SORTA TALKED ABOUT SOMETHING.

-WELL, WHAT DID YOU SORTA TALK ABOUT?

-WHETHER OR NOT I SHOULD GO TO SCHOOL BACK IN OHIO.

YOU KNOW, JUST TO AVOID ALL THE CONFUSION.

AND THEN SPENDING SUMMERS WITH YOU.

REALLY?

SHE NEVER SAID ANYTHING TO ME ABOUT THIS, HOBE.

WHAT DO YOU THINK I SHOULD DO?

WHAT DO YOU WANNA DO?

I DON'T KNOW, I MISS MOM.

BUT IF I GO OVER THERE, I'LL MISS YOU.

WHAT DO YOU WANT ME TO DO?

-FIRST THING I WANT YOU TO DO, DON'T WORRY ABOUT IT.

COME ON, LET'S GO.

I'LL TALK TO YOUR MOM ABOUT IT.

WE'LL FIGURE OUT WHAT'S BEST TO DO.

DON'T WORRY ABOUT IT, HUH?

-MIKE SAID YOU WERE LOOKING FOR ME.

-YEAH, YEAH SIT DOWN, WILL YA, PLEASE?

SOMETHING WRONG?

DID YOU EVER GET TO A POINT

WHERE YOU GOTTA MAKE DECISIONS

THAT ARE GONNA CHANGE YOUR LIFE,

AND YOU DON'T KNOW IF YOU WANNA MAKE 'EM?

WHAT KIND OF DECISIONS?

I GOT A LETTER FROM CRAIG.

AH, HOW ARE THEY DOING?

-TERRIFIC, THEY GOT A HOUSE IN CONNECTICUT,

LAW OFFICE IN NEW YORK.

OH, GINA'S PREGNANT.

REALLY?

THAT'S TERRIFIC.

-HE SAYS HE REPRESENTS SEAQUEST DIVERS

AND THEY'RE LOOKING FOR A CONSULTANT/REP TO WORK CALIFORNIA.

HE'S GOT A JOB INTERVIEW SET UP FOR ME.

SAYS IT PAYS DOUBLE WHAT I'M MAKING HERE.

-COULD ALWAYS COUNT ON OLD CRAIG TO COMPLICATE MATTERS.

YEAH, BUT THE BIG PROBLEM IS

IT MEANS A HELL OF A LOT OF TRAVELING,

WHICH MEANS I HAVE TO LEAVE HOBIE

WITH GAYLE DURING THE SCHOOL YEAR.

I HAVE NO IDEA WHAT TO DO.

-YOU LOOKING FOR AN OPINION OR JUST A SOUNDING BOARD?

BOTH.

-WHY DON'T YOU TAKE A CATALINA RUN?

YOU SURE?

-BEST WAY I KNOW TO CLEAR THE HEAD.

THANKS.

-MITCH, I JUST REALLY THINK THAT HE'D BE BETTER OFF

IF HE LIVED WITH ME FULL-TIME.

NO WAY.

-HE COULD VISIT YOU EVERY OTHER WEEK.

YOU CAN FORGET IT!

-CAN YOU JUST PUT YOUR OWN FEELINGS ASIDE FOR ONCE,

AND THINK ABOUT WHAT'S BEST FOR YOUR SON?

I AM.

I ALWAYS DO.

YOU JUST CAN'T HANDLE IT BECAUSE HE WANTS

TO BE WITH ME MORE THAN HE WANTS TO BE WITH YOU.

-WELL, OF COURSE HE WANTS TO BE WITH YOU,

WHAT KID WOULDN'T?

A BLOCK FROM THE OCEAN, A FATHER WHO SAVES PEOPLE'S LIVES.

HEY, YOU'RE HE HIS HERO.

AND I'M JUST THE OGRE WHO MAKES HIM STAY

IN HIS BEDROOM DOING HIS HOMEWORK OVER UNTIL IT'S NEAT.

WITH YOU, LIFE'S A BEACH, WHY SHOULD HE EVER WANNA LEAVE?

YOU LEFT.

-MITCH, IT'S TOO LATE FOR US, BUT NOT FOR HOBIE.

WHAT HE NEEDS NOW IS CONSISTENCY.

YOU WANT CONSISTENCY?

I'LL LET HIM VISIT YOU EVERY OTHER WEEKEND.

IF HOBIE LIVES WITH ME,

HE'LL HAVE A WHOLE WORLD FULL OF CHOICES.

WITH YOU, ALL HE'S EVER GONNA WANNA BE

IS A LIFEGUARD, JUST LIKE HIS DAD.

-I CAN'T BELIEVE WE'RE STILL HAVING THIS DAMN ARGUMENT.

NOW, LIFEGUARDS ARE TEACHERS AND DOCTORS.

CRAIG'S AN ATTORNEY, FOR GOD'S SAKE.

-YEAH, BUT HE DOESN'T WANNA BE LIKE THEM,

HE WANTS TO BE LIKE YOU.

-STRANGE DAY. -YEAH, TELL ME ABOUT IT.

I CAN'T STOP THINKING ABOUT STEVE.

-WHETHER OR NOT YOU'D DO WHAT HE DID

IF YOU LOST CUSTODY OF HOBIE?

-YEAH, SCARES THE HELL OUT OF ME.

OH, GOD, WHAT'S THAT?

WHAT, OH!

YOU EVER THINK ABOUT GIVING UP ALL THIS STUFF

FOR SOMETHING DRIER AND MORE LUCRATIVE?

YEAH, LIKE WHAT?

-THE FIRM GAVE ME A CHOICE, LAWYER OR LIFEGUARD.

-DOES THAT MEAN YOU'D QUIT BAYWATCH?

-WE'D STILL HAVE OUR EARLY MORNING WORKOUTS TOGETHER.

YEAH AND LOSE YOUR LOCKER.

YOU'D TAKE AWAY MY LOCKER?

ABSOLUTELY.

HOW MANY FORMER LIFEGUARDS HAVE GOT LOCKERS

THAT ARE QUITTERS?

YOU'D TAKE AWAY MY LOCKER?

WELL, WHAT IF I DONATE LARGE SUMS OF MONEY

TO THE LIFEGUARD BENEVOLENCE SOCIETY OR SOMETHING?

-I'D GIVE YOU A NICE PLAQUE YOU COULD HANG ON YOUR WALL,

THANKING YOU VERY MUCH.

-BUT YOU WON'T LET ME KEEP MY LOCKER?

ABSOLUTELY NOT.

DAMN IT!

-WHAT? -WE'RE BLOCKED.

IT'S THE KIDS.

HEY, OVER HERE!

YOU GOTTA HELP US!

MY ARMS, MY LEGS, I CAN'T MOVE THEM.

HELP, HELP, I CAN'T GET OUT!

HEY, HEY, HELP!

HEY, HEY, HELP, HELP!

HEY, HEY, OVER HERE, HELP!

MY DAD, WE WERE DIVING, HE'S DOWN THERE.

HE'S TRAPPED AND CAN'T GET BACK UP.

YOU GOTTA HELP HIM.

YOU GOTTA HELP HIM.

WHAT HAPPENED?

-A ROCK, WE WERE UNDER IT, IT FELL ON HIM.

HE CAN'T GET-- HE'S TRAPPED!

ALL RIGHT, JUST CALM DOWN.

NOW TELL ME WHAT I NEED TO KNOW, SO I CAN HELP YOUR DAD.

- -

WHO'S THAT?

LET ME GUESS.

CAPTAIN THORPE.

-WHY WOULD HE BE KISSING YOUR NECK?

-WELL, HE'S A SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA VAMPIRE.

HE ONLY COMES OUT IN THE SUNLIGHT.

I DIDN'T KNOW THAT.

-YEAH, HAVEN'T YOU NOTICED WHEN HE SMILES,

THE WAY HIS FANGS KINDA HANG OUT?

-FANGS, YES, DEFINITELY NOTICED HIS FANGS.

FANGS HANGING OUT, YEAH.
