All language subtitles for Blue Water High s01e17 Perri Lies Low

There's too much choice and not enough
time to fall.

Any form of head can't count.

Some days it all comes together.

These are the times when you feel
invisible.

When there's nothing steady between you
and being queen of the universe.

But it never lasts long.

Because Mother Nature's always there to
cut you down to size.

Yep. She just loves to remind you that
you're not even queen of your own

Let alone the universe.

Are you all right?

Can't find it, Ola. I'll get help.

No, no, don't.

I'm just lightheaded.

I missed lunch.

Give us your hand.

Let me carry your board away.

A bit overdressed for the beach, aren't
you?

Oh, no, I hate sand.

I hate the feel of it.

It should be grass, you know.

You really were hungry.

You can just put the board down there.

Are you sure you're going to be okay?

I feel much better already.

Thanks for your help.

Oh, you wouldn't know where I could find
the Solar Blues Earth Academy, would

you?

Matt,

there's someone here to see you. Hey,
rat face, where's the party? Come on.

Everybody, make my cousin smart. I mean,
Alec, this is Beck, Fly and Perry.

Oh, yeah, we met at the beach.

Cute dog.

Who knows?

What? That's his name, as in who knows
what kind of mud it is.

Oh, what's that smell?

Who knows?

Alec, this is Gilly, the keeper of the
house. And what a tidy house it is,

Gilly. Oh, thank you.

Alec's my cousin. He's from Tassie. Let
me help you with those.

So what brings you here?

Oh, I was heading up to Brisbane and the
youth started playing us. I had to jump

off the highway for repairs and I
realised how close I was to old Rat

Thought I'd better check him up and pay
him a visit, make sure he's behaving

himself. What's in Brisbane?

Oh, the National Motocross titles.

Marth is a legend on the trail bike.

Really?

So how long are you here for?

Oh, well, it depends on how long it
takes to fix the ute.

Where are you staying tonight?

Well, I hadn't really thought about that
yet. I'll probably just sleep in the

ute. Are you kidding? You should stay
here.

Yeah, that'll be cool.

Come on, Julie, he's my cousin.

All right, one night.

But that dog, outside. Oh, yeah, no
problemo.

You all

right?

A surfboard, not a bike.

Yeah, well, I won't hold that against
you.

I've always wanted to try motocross.

My dad wouldn't let me, though. It's too
dangerous.

Oh, no, not if you know what you're
doing.

Hey, there's a track nearby. Maybe if
there's time, I'll take you for a spin.

Maybe I'd like that.

Hey, about what happened at the beach,
no one here needs to know about it,

Hey, we're heading down for a training
session. You want to come? Go for a body

bash afterwards?

Nah, I reckon I'll pass.

One day, I'm going to get you in that
surf if I have to drag you.

Has anybody seen the hamburger?

Min, what are you doing?

That's for dinner tonight. I can't do
that.

Now, Jill, I don't want you to worry.
Also dinner. I promise. The least I can

do.

It's Jilly.

One,

and two, and three.

That's it, come on.

See, mate, did I want to come down?

No, it's not tight to surf.

Yeah, that'd be all right.

I think he hates stroke too, doesn't he?
Look, guys, I know he's a bit rough

around the edges, but he's got a heart
of gold. And a dog that stinks like a

latrine. You want to win heaps? This is
where it starts.

Come on, Perry, pull your weight.

I need a rest.

Well, you can have all the rest of your
life when the training session is over.

Hey, where do you think you're going? I
just don't feel like it, okay?

When did Perry have a problem with doing
stomach crunch?

Don't despair, kid.

It's not that bad.

Carrie?

The three C's, kiddo.

Courage, commitment and class. You've
got all three in space.

I don't think I have.

I have a lot of faith in you, Perry.

Isn't talking to yourself meant to be
the first sign of madness?

Your stuff is spilling on my side of the
shelf again.

Fool! Your stereo, your videos, and
they're your books.

It's not your side, it's neutral.

See, there's an imaginary zone which
separates the two sides of the shelf.

You know, like Switzerland.

Neutral. How come your gear is in that
territory, then? Well, Swiss invited me.

Oh, come on, Perry, lighten up. Leave me
alone, okay?

Yeah, Jill.

I'd like you to wear these gloves when
you cook.

Yeah, no problemo.

What are you making?

Pasta Blanco.

Don't worry, Jill. He knows what he's
doing.

Hope so.

Okay, I'm going to uni. I'll see you in
the morning.

See ya, see ya.

Good boy.

My mate knew that I was hanging out with
a bunch of waxheads. I'd never live it

down.

Your mate's being petrolheads.

Well, they just don't get the surf
scene.

I mean, I can dig that there's a little
bit of skill involved.

A little bit?

Well, compared to riding a bike.

Oh, which is more skillful.

Exactly.

Well, if you can cook as well as you can
ride, you must be one hell of a trail

bike rider.

There's more there if you want it, mate.

Oh, thanks, mate, but I think I've had
about as much as I can take.

Right here.

Good boy.

I'll go to bed.

Yeah, me too.

Same. Ditto.

Yeah. Catch you later. Oh, that'd be
right. Leave us with the washing up.

you've got to learn to quit while you're
behind.

We're sleeping on the lounge.

What, just because it's Mark?

His dogs sting. If he wasn't your
cousin, I'd kick him out of the house.

All right, where do you want me to bunk?

Wherever you like.

Thanks for making space for us, fellas.

Look,

Mark.

Shouldn't he be sleeping outside?

I'd be in the dark.

Of course he is.

Alec, we've got to talk.

Great to see you, mate.

You're like a brother to me, you know
that?

Yeah, thanks.

Remember that day I caught the 15 kilo
Jewfish on the beach?

It was me that caught the Jewfish.

I baited the hook. I landed it.

Yeah, well, you wouldn't have landed it
if I hadn't have baited the hook first.

Stands to reason it was a monster.

Wasn't it, Jeff?

Tasted pretty good too.

Better than Pastor Blanco, hey?

Best day of my life.

Same.

Yeah, what do you want to talk to me
about?

Oh, look, don't worry about it.

Not bad, huh?

Tight junior champion.

Watch it.

How was that?

Great.

Really. Perry?

Perry?

Ty. You're freaking me out.

I need to lie down.

Perry, please don't do this. Come on,
Perry.

You'll be okay.

Matt, she's in there with the doctors.
What happened?

I don't know. She... She got off the
bike and she just collapsed into a heap.

Fell asleep right in the dirt.

Hi, I'm Deb Callum and this is Craig
Singles. I'm Perry's legal guardian. How

she? She's unconscious but stable.

We ran some tests. Her blood sugars are
at dangerously high levels. But she's

going to be okay?

Well, we've got her on IV insulin.

As soon as that kicks in, her blood
sugars will come down and she should

consciousness. But the diabetes will
require ongoing medical attention.

According to Perry's mother, she was
diagnosed with diabetes six months ago.

Well, why weren't we told?

She kept it from us. She must have lied
on our application form.

She's awake.

Hey, kiddo.

Gave us a bit of a scare.

How are you feeling?

A bit spaced.

You're going to be okay.

Perry, do you understand what happened?

I went hyperglycemic, didn't I?

Why didn't you tell us that you had
diabetes?

Because I thought I was better.

I was on medication for a while, but the
symptoms went, so I've been fine for

the last six months.

The doctors want to put you back on
insulin injections.

Perry, did you hear me?

I'll be jabbing needles into myself for
the rest of my life.

Why would she hide it?

Well, it's quite common for young people
to think they're in some sort of

remission, but it's not that kind of
disease.

It's a lifetime condition with varying
degrees of seriousness, and some can get

by with diet alone, others are insulin
dependent.

And what's the long -term prognosis?

Well, with regular exercise, diet and
insulin, she can expect to lead a

relatively normal life.

What if she just ignores it like she has
done for the last six months?

Then she'll become a very thick girl.

It could be fatal.

I'll be recommending constant adult
medical supervision.

I'll have to attend to that.

Excuse me. Thanks, Tom.

Poor kid.

Isn't that why Perry can start the
Academy?

I mean, there's the issue of insurance
for a start.

Visiting outside of the hospital soon.
I'm going to go see Perry.

We'll come with you. Guys!

Hospital!

Vic?

Good boy.

It's not a sport.

It's a recipe for misery.

What do you reckon, boy?

Hey, how are you doing?

Are they treating you well?

The nurses are great, but I prefer to be
back with you guys.

Gilly made you some soup. I'll go and
find a microwave to heat it up.

Got you some reading.

Ed, you didn't have to buy me a present.

I didn't. Well, they're just old ones.
It's no big deal.

All right, quit your time.

What do Halle Berry, Elveth, Johnny Cash
and Mikhail Gorbachev have in common?

They all have diabetes.

Is that a joke?

I think what Matt is making a complete
hash of trying to say is that you'll be

back surfing with us in no time.

It doesn't matter anyway.

They're kicking me out.

What? Who's kicking you out?

It's a question of insurance.

Sold they won't cover a diabetic, so
they're getting rid of me.

What's this? Is it true about Perry?

They can't do this. It's not fair. How
much money is needed to cover the

insurance so she can stay?

Guys, it's not as simple as that. We're
going to raise the money.

The school holidays are coming up.

We're going to offer surfing lessons.

It's a nice gesture.

But I'm afraid it's not just about
insurance, okay?

It's about our ability to provide the
level of care that Perry is going to

We can't do it.

I'm sorry.

I don't want this any more than you do.

Who knows?

Who knows? Let go!

Stop it!

Let go!

Stupid mongrel!

Hey, rats.

You've got to watch how you speak to
him. You'll scar him psychologically.

He just destroyed my wetsuit.

It's fixable.

Just need a needle and thread.

No problemo.

That's it. I've had it up to here with
you and your no problemos. Since you got

here, all you've done is cause big
problemos. You break things, you insult

friends, you're a walking disaster!

Guess I better get going, then, eh?

More with getting people offside.

Don't mean to do wrong.

Definitely. Turn it out.

Good luck in Brisbane. Thanks.

Thanks, mate.

I promise it's just one night.

I'll have it fixed tomorrow for sure.

Okay.

I'm sorry if I've stuffed things up with
your friends.

You should have told me to pull my
stupid, ugly head in.

Yeah, well, I tried.

And you're not stupid, you're just ugly.

Well, you can talk.

Well, anyway, I should be the one
apologising.

I was just stressed about Perry.

You like her, don't you?

Yeah, she's a good surfer.

Rats is in love.

Shut up.

Hey, you're back.

I've just come to get my stuff.

I'm leaving.

Perry Law.

One word.

Starts with C and ends with omitment.

It's got nothing to do with my
commitment.

This has been made for me. Nobody said
you have to give up without a fight.

I'm sorry, Karen.

I need to clear my room.

we gonna have territory wars with now
look at the bright side you have to have

switzerland and the whole western side
of the shelves to yourself now where's

the fun in that

Keeping this as a memento.

Remind me what a beach smells like.

Thought you were going to the Gold
Coast.

You'd be able to surf Kira every day of
the week.

Nuh -uh.

I'm getting picked up at the Gold Coast.

I'm going to Roma.

Roma? Where the hell's that?

About 500 kilometers west of the ocean.

Right.

Might as well sell my stuff for what
I'll be getting.

I'm going to miss this place.

I still don't see why she has to go.

I told you, mate, she has to be cared
for by Mum and Dad.

What are they going to do that can't be
done here?

That's a good question.

Julie, have you got a minute? I need to
ask you something.

Anything to avoid disappointment.

It's about Perry.

Matt, I'm sorry.

I really am.

I wish that the situation could be
different.

But there's nothing I can do. Julie's
already agreed to help out with the

medical stuff and the diet. She'll get
better care at home.

I'm sorry, Matt. It's just, it's not
going to happen.

I need to get on with this.

What kind of message would Solar Blue be
sending by dumping a talented young

surfer just because she's got diabetes?

Matt, we're hardly dumping her.

That sort of looked like it in the
press.

This could be a win -win situation for
Perry, for the Academy, for all the kids

out there who have got diabetes who'd
get a kick if Perry went on to win the

world title.

The message would be don't give up.

I would have thought that'd be pretty
good PR for Solar Blue.

We've got to find Perry.

Come on, mate. Car's still stuffed.

Here I go again, into oblivion.

What have you said just then? You know I
can't just be your friend.

Here we go again, into oblivion. What

have you said just then? You know I
can't just be your friend.

Solar Blue have agreed to let you stay.

Julie's going to help out with all the
medical stuff. I spoke to Deb and she

sorted it with your parents.

They're cool.

Come on, let's get you back as we go.

What's the point?

I'm still sick.

I'll never have a chance of winning wild
card.

Pete Nolan.

What? Great surfer. He got cancer in his
knee. Don't. They had to amputate his

leg.

He had an excuse to stop surfing, but he
didn't. All the experts said he'd never

surf again.

He ignored them and a few months later
he was carving it up.

You're holding up the bus.

Diabetes can't stop you surfing, Perry.
Not if you really want it.

Come on, son.

I know what's going on here. I want you
off my bus now.

I guess I read it wrong then.

Good luck, Perry.

Well?

She's not coming.

How many can you fit on that bike of
yours?

Now,

what do you want?

Tummy? Thigh?

Butt?

Bag's not the butt.

How many do you need then?

I'll get used to it.

Come on, Alex.

Time to show us how easy this surfing
thing is.

It's cold.

Didn't take you for a wuss.

I've nothing to prove.

Nah.

You're not getting away with it that
easily.

I just

wanted a thanking.

For looking out for me.

That's what friends do, isn't it?

Just friends, hey?

Well, yeah, I mean...

There's too much choice and not enough
time to fall.
