I'm 16..

...already in trouble
at school

and unfortunately
have blond hair.

My mother liked to joke
that natural blonds

were usually selfish

while dyed blonds
were pathological liars.

Jim is my twin.

My only true friend.

Jim was the one person
in the whole world

I could really talk to.

Who I felt
comfortable with.

That may sound
kind of fucked up

but it's a twin thing.

Don't worry, someday
your hair will be brown

like mine and then people
will finally take you

seriously
and then it'll turn Grey.

And they won't.

In every family,
there was that one person

that was the glue that
held it all together.

That was Jim.

He was the one
who could cheer mom up

when she got down.

That brought out something
different in her.

We'd just moved from
Michigan to Palos Verdes.

You see, it was always
my father's dream

to move to California.

To be a heart surgeon
to the rich and famous.

My mother wasn't sure
at first about moving.

She said she was allergic
to all the Botox

earthquakes
and exercise.

But my dad insisted that
the sunshine and sea air

was just what
the doctor ordered..

...the doctor
being him.

How's that pool?

Whoa, don't get
the new house wet!

Not on --
Not on the first day.

Oh, look at this.

I couldn't believe
they were selling

mass-produced Buddhas
at the drugstore.

- I'll take a regular.
- Here you go.

Thank you.

Oh.

Hey, I think
I see a whale.

- No way.
- I do!

Right there,
below the seaweed.

- I don't see anything.
- Look.

- To new beginnings.
- To sunshine!

- To sunscreen.
- To us.

Which us?

All of us.

I always said we'd move
to paradise, didn't I?

- Yeah.
- Let's go down here.

I'm gonna throw you
in the ocean.

In school,
we learned about people

who came west
in wagon trains

to start new lives.

So did my family.

Even my mom was doing
her best to be hopeful.

So vast.

Yeah.

We're gonna be
happy here.

Yup.

Well, I'm happy already.

This is so goddamn vast.

I wish I could go back
and hold on

to that moment forever

and just be happy for
everything that we had.

- Hey, Phil.
- What?

- Let's not go tonight.
- What?

Let's stay home.
Let's stay home.

Phil, let's stay home.

It's important to go out,
meet new people.

This party is, you know,
to welcome us.

Well, it's also important
to stay home

and make this our home
and fill it with memories.

- I know.
- Yeah.

But we already said,
we have to go.

- Oh.
- Give me a little more.

- Mm, no.
- Come on.

- No, no, no.
- Yes.

- Look --
- What?

If you want me
to get ready

I have to get ready.

We're gonna be late
to your important party

and your spray tan's
rubbing off on me.

- Phil. Hi.
- Oh, my god.

So great to see you.

- Ava, hello. Hello.
- Hi. Hi.

Oh. My wife, Sandy.

- Hi, Sandy.
- Ava.

- This is exciting.
- Yes.

- Fiesta.
- This your first night?

- It's our first fiesta.
- At the club? Yes.

- Do you like the house?
- Oh, my god.

- Oh.
- Yeah.

So you're
a cardiologist?

Yes.

I read all about you
in the "best doctors."

You invented
that Cardiovalvola, right?

I'm impressed.
You've done your research.

Well, I used to work
as a drug rep.

I tell ya,
when you've held

a, a beating
human heart --

Excuse me.

I can't even look
at raw liver.

I mean,
I'm totally vegan.

- I'm Jim.
- Nice to meet you.

It's nice to meet you.
I like this.

Oh, thank you.

Uh, welcome
to the club.

Thanks.

You just moved to town?

Are your kids here?

Uh, yeah,
they're here somewhere.

That's what
we love about the club.

We never have to worry
about them.

Oh.

Let's go home.

Let the kids hang out
with their new friends.

Could you just,
just try to act

like you're having a good
time, alright, baby?

- I am trying.
- Okay.

I don't know
if these Xanax

are even
working anymore.

Maybe ease up
on the Taquitos.

They work better on a, on
an empty stomach, alright?

Let me guess, your father
is a, a finalist

in the limbo
competition.

Yup.
He's wearing a sombrero.

I knew it.

So I was reading
this thing about

how whales go to Mexico
to have their calves

and then they travel
back with them.

But they have
these half-day trips.

We can go out on boats
and you can see them.

Oh, honey,
6 hours on a boat?

Oh, god,
you'd die of boredom

and seasickness.

Yeah, it'll be probably
pretty lame anyways.

Look at Jim.

He does take
after his father.

I don't know
who you take after.

You -- you're..

...your own
special person, honey.

That's good.

Hm.

I'll go find El senor.

Oh, get us out of here.

We learned at school
about the tribes

that originally
inhabited PV.

The Chumash and the Tonga
native American tribes.

There are new tribes now,
of course.

Hey, what's up
with your sister?

Why doesn't she come
hang out with us?

My father said things
would be different here.

But I knew Jim would
want to be popular

and I wouldn't.

Oh, she just does
her own thing.

That's cool.
That's cool.

Yeah. She's awesome.

Phone down in the back,
please.

Anybody offer any opinions?
Do you remember?

Does this ring a bell,
the word Mana

when we studied proper Asia
and Polynesia?

Their society
was structured..

Hey, wait up!

Property always sold
fast in Palos Verdes.

People liked
that the grass

had to be kept green
and cut attractively

that the walls
of each house

had to be painted
every 3 years

and that the buildings
were required

to have tiled roofs.

The beaches
were maintained daily

with special machines
to clean the sand

and thresh, mix
and spit it out

into crystals of
immaculate white powder.

The police knew
each family by name

and by make and model
of their car.

There were no lights
on the football stadium

because the locals
didn't want anyone

from out of town
there after dark

or anywhere in PV,
really.

The beaches
were not private

but they might
as well be.

The residents didn't
want any outsiders

ruining their zillion
dollar views either.

There were
no streetlights

fast food stands
or apartment buildings.

All outlawed
by the city ordinance.

A chaos of stars filled the
skies of Palos Verdes.

But everything else
was regulated.

Wow.

- Whoo!
- Hey! Hey!

Hey, keep it down!

Do you know
how late it is?

Oi, lady.
Go back inside.

I'm gonna
call the police.

Go away!

Don't be bothering
'cause we'll be louder!

10 whole seconds,
no turning.

Don't get up.

What the hell?

- Where'd you get this?
- Don't worry about it.

We should get another one.
Let's ask mom.

- Do you really want one?
- Yeah.

We don't need
to ask mom.

Nah, people will laugh.

Maybe we should go
somewhere else.

Don't be such a baby.

When we were kids,
Jim and I had a treehouse

in our backyard.

We'd pull up the ladder

and no one
could get to us.

I always liked it best

when it was just
the two of us.

For the first time
in a long time

it felt like we were
in our treehouse again.

Shit. It's the bayboys.

Keep it cool.

Hey, where you going?

Just takin'
my son surfing.

Yeah. Are you?

Dad, let's just go
somewhere else.

No, no, no. It's okay.
Look, dude.

We're not gonna be
in your way.

I don't wanna put you down
in front of your son.

- Really?
- Get the fuck out.

- Dad, let's just go --
- Beat it.

What are you guys
starin' at?

Shit.
Got out just in time.

They don't own
the waves.

Actually, they do.

That guy Chad

his stepbrother, Alex,
is in my math class.

He's never there.

Chad's like 30 years old

and he still lives
at home.

Well?

Oh, baby.

Wow, mom.

Digging the green.

I feel like Peter Pan.

Mm. Mm.

I can't believe you moved us
to a town where grownup women

wear green tennis dresses
on purpose.

Oh, look at this.

"Do you have the face
you deserve after 30?

Welcome
to the ageless future."

I have the perfect
anti-aging solution.

It's called death.

- Come on.
- Wow, mom, that's dark.

You're beautiful
and when the time comes

I know
plenty of doctors --

- Oh, god.
- God, dad, really?

- Oh, yeah.
- If that's what you want.

I'm gonna be late tonight.
I have a late consult.

Have fun
at the club today.

Maybe invite
some of the girls

for, uh, barbecue
this weekend.

That would be fun,
right, kids?

You could invite some
friends, too, if you want.

Bibb salad with the
dressing on the side.

Chopped salad for me,
no dressing.

I'll have a cheeseburger
and fries, please.

You must have
a fantastic metabolism.

Oh, well, I'll tell you
my metabolism secret.

Smoking.
It makes you poop.

Cleans you out.

I'm joking.
I'm just joking.

Phil and I just,
we like, we like to joke.

Sorry, not lunchtime
appropriate.

So how are you liking our
little slice of paradise here?

It's the waves.

I mean, they're so loud.

They're in -- incessant.

I -- I can't sleep.

And the surfers drag
their surfboards

over the ice plant
and ruin everything.

And why do your kids
roam around in packs

stand at the edge
of cliffs

like little
praying mantises?

What's wrong with them?

I'm sorry, but Dr. Mason
isn't currently

in the office.

Really? He's not there?

I could take a message
for you or --

He said he had
a late procedure.

No, ma'am.
He left at 4:00 P.M.

I see.

He said he was leaving
early today.

I'll go ahead and put a
message in that you called.

Well, thank you.

No problem, Mrs. Mason.

I guess the heart disease
just cleared on up.

Okay. Okay.

Mom?

I need you to sign
something for school.

You're so young
and pretty.

Find someone
who loves you

for who you are
on the inside

not your face.

People get tired
of faces.

You guys want juice?

Fuck.

Hey, what the hell's
going on?

This isn't good. This --
This, it's not healthy.

I'm not sure my health
is a, was a real issue --

Well, I'm a doctor.
Health is something

that I know a thing
or two about.

You don't care
about my health.

You care about
my cheekbones --

I care about your goddamn
black hole moods.

How you suck us in.

And sometimes,
Sandy, I swear --

Swear what?

I swear what?

You'd feel so much better
if you just got dressed..

...and went out.

Mom's really losin' it,
isn't she?

She's not.

She's just..

...alone here, you know?

And those pathetic plastic
people don't like her

and dad rags on her
all the time.

Oh, shit.

Come on,
let's get out there.

What's that?

- Huh?
- What is that?

A marijuana cigarette?

- What?
- Give me that thing.

Let's see it. Thanks.

- Here we go, boys.
- You got a deal.

- Thank you.
- Of course.

You actually live here
or you just surf here?

Just stay on the inside,
okay?

Don't snake our waves.

- Yeah.
- Yeah?

Of course. Yeah.

Who's that out there?

That's my sister,
actually.

Out there, boys.

These assholes
keeps multiplying, man.

The bayboys had all
these ridiculous rules

that Jim wanted us
to follow.

For the bayboys, the more you
tried to look like a surfer

the less of a surfer
you were.

They never wore
colored wetsuits

or anything bright,
modern or neon.

They rode retro boards
and didn't do tricks

or fancy stunts.

You just rode waves.

You rode
and you didn't fall off.

I didn't care what anyone
wore or how they rode.

I just wanted to surf.

The boys would tell me
I had to wait in line

behind them
and not to snake waves.

They would tell me
I should stick

to cheerleading
or ballet.

But I didn't let it
bother me.

Hey, don't get
too close to her.

I think she's on the rag

like that old sharkie.

They warned me
to wait my turn

and to not take
their waves

but I didn't listen.

I went in front,
first, behind

over the top,
it didn't matter.

You only get a turn
if you fight for one.

Chanel.

I knew it. I knew it.
I knew it.

I knew it. I knew it.

I knew it.

Hey.

- I have an announcement.
- Oh.

We're gonna start
a new life.

I'm no longer
gonna be fake.

The ladies
of Palos Verdes

can take
their perfect lives

and shove it up
their asses.

No tennis clothes.

No lancome hydrate.

No balanced meals.

We are gonna move
to Blaine, Minnesota

where the women don't
wear tennis skirts

and you won't be faced
with so much temptation.

Uh, I can't leave here.

I have a job.
I have patients.

Fine. I'll take the kids.
Go pack. Go pack!

I'm not going
to fucking Minnesota.

It's just you and me
then, Jim.

- Alright.
- Hey!

- What's going on?
- Damn it, Phil.

Jim's friend saw you
having lunch with her.

She saw you!

- You know who I mean.
- I don't.

Okay. Okay.

Uh, uh, what are you
talkin' about?

I eat lunch all the time
with nurses

or pharmaceutical
salesmen --

Or cute
little tennis ladies.

I spoke to a lawyer.

Jim, can you pack,
please? Can we get ready?

Seriously?

Is it, you -- you wanna
leave with your mom?

You're a liar.

You said things
would be different.

Why don't you just
go fuck another nurse?

Jim.

- Jim, wait!
- What?

You wouldn't actually
go with mom, would you?

Oh, come on, Medina.
Where's she gonna go?

She never leaves
the house.

Look, she's just putting
that asshole

on notice, okay?

Got these from the,
uh, Korean booth.

- They're Oxycontin.
- Yeah.

Here, take one.

Do it. Do it.

Ah, gross.

- Aah.
- So gross.

No, you don't need anymore.
Don't drink anymore.

Taking you away
from here, come on.

Think your mom should stop
the flashlight.

Looks like
a fucking lighthouse.

Yeah, she's always pacing
around in her robe up there.

It's fucking spooky.

Watch this.

Jim!

- What the fuck?
- Go, go, go!

Alright, Jimmy!

Fucking epic!

It was stupid
what you did.

Yeah.

I was pretty wasted.

No. Annoying.

Imagine the
waves in Bali.

Or Fiji.

We should go there
someday.

That would be so cool.

Surfing there
in huge waves.

Let's take a break.

Why are you and mom
still fighting?

It's kind of complicated.

Um, we got married
so young, you know?

I don't know,
maybe you're not supposed

to be with the same person
your whole life.

But honestly,
I think that your mom

would be happier
without me..

...in the long run.

Are you serious?

Well, it's complicated.
Um..

Something happened.

I met someone.

I mean,
I've fallen in love.

She's a terrific lady.

It's our
real estate agent.

- What?
- It's Ava.

It was
a complete surprise.

- I never expected it.
- What?

I'm so sorry, babe.
I'm so sorry.

- Oh, my god.
- What?

I'm sorry, honey.

I have another chance
to be happy now.

Another chance
at my life.

Baby, I gotta take it.

You understand that,
right?

Dad, you can't just leave.
That's not fair.

We're gonna come and stay
with you, right?

Of course. No, no, no.

Ava and I have already
talked about that.

Thing is, um,
she has a son, Adrian.

So she just wants to wait
until she feels

a little more secure
in our relationship.

Honey, we're gonna be
together all the time.

It's gonna be terrific.

I just need
your support on this.

Especially when
I tell your mom.

Goddammit.

Where would you like
to start with sorry --

It doesn't have anything
to do with your friends.

Would you like
to start with sorry?

Did you find somebody
skinnier than me?

Did you find someone
who's twat

wasn't blown out
birthing your babies?

Did you find.. What are you
looking for in a woman?

What are you
looking for?

Why don't you start
with that?

We've run our course!

Fucking run our course?

Why the fuck did I
move to California

if I had run my
fucking course with you?

Are you fucking --

I'll take the fall
for this.

You'll take the fall!
God!

Of course,
you'll take the fall.

You have made me crazy!
God!

This is gonna be better
for everyone.

Right, Medina?

Tell your mother,
please.

Tell your mother,
please, Medina.

Right? What?

Right, Medina?
What? You what?

Fuck you.

Do you have something you
wanna say to me, Medina?

- Medina! Medina!
- Hey! Medina!

What are you talking
to Medina for?

What does she know
that I don't know?

I'm your wife,
goddammit.

I had sex with you
for 20 fucking years!

Our fucking
real estate agent?

We came out here
a year ago

and we took her
to lunch.

I know.

You held my hand
under the table.

What, have you been
fucking each other

on text? On Facebook?

Get the fuck
out of my house.

I'm embarrassed
to be your wife.

Get the fuck
out of my house!

Oh, boy.

Oh, man, I..

I don't know
what to say.

I'm so sorry.

I just snapped.

I just snapped
for a sec.

Can we forget
all of this?

Can we please just
forget all of this?

I mean, why'd we move
here in the first place?

Oh, you're the one
who wanted the money.

And the Mercedes.

If you don't care
about that

let's stop
all this then.

Alright.

Credit cards
are for emergencies only.

Come on, Phil,
there's --

The checks
will come weekly.

There's no reason
to take things this far.

Come home.

You promised
you'd never leave me.

For better or for worse.

That's the deal.
Remember?

Phil, come on.

For the sake
of the kids.

Don't do this to them!

I will get help.

I will. I will.

I love you.
We love each other.

I've tried everything
I could.

I've tried everything
I could.

Nothing's gonna change.

Jimmy.

Yeah?

I can't sleep.

Would you come
sit in my room?

Sure, mom.

Sure.

Now is the time to take
control of your..

Now is the time

to take control
of your life.

Now is the time to take
control of your life.

Let's find dad
and cheer him on, huh?

He loves that.

- Mom?
- Oh, shit.

Mom.

Mom.

Alright, pick it up.

Hey.

I called him softly.
Phil!

- Alright.
- Hey, Phil!

Oh, look at this.

Look at this little
fucking playdate.

I found you. Hi.

Hi. Can I join?

I know you've always
wanted me to join.

So here I am to make
your wish come true.

Kids, go back
to the car, please.

Let's see.

Oh, good,
here's a racket.

Where were we?

Where's the score here
with this little game?

- Ow!
- Love-nothing.

Whoa, hey!
Come on, sand --

- Motherfucker!
- Calm down!

Maybe you wanna teach me
because I am a beginner

and you are
quite a teacher.

- Please don't do this --
- You are quite a Te..

I would back the fuck up
if I were you, Phil.

Please don't do this.

Let's see, who did
you like to teach?

Lynn G.,
remember that bitch?

- Jesus Christ. Alright.
- Amber, Gigi.

Motherfucker!

Oh, Ava,
didn't you know, huh?

You're just another bead
on a long string, honey.

You thought you found
your meal ticket

here with Dr. Phil.

Well, let me guarantee
you something, okay?

All you're gonna end up
with is a mouthful of jizz.

Come on, kids.
Shut your mouths.

Let's go. Jim!

Hey, look who it is.

Hey, dude.

Picked up some new shit
if you want some?

Yeah, sure.
I'll call you later.

Alright, I'll see you
out there.

Oh, holy shit.
I think that's Dan Edder.

Guy's a legend
around here.

I've seen pictures
of him in magazines.

He drives
to, like, Mexico

and Nicaragua
and surfs big breaks.

Oh, man!

Alex says
he never surfs the bay

except on big days.

And that he
doesn't talk.

He's really,
really good.

Keep it cool.

- What's up?
- Hey.

You two gettin'
out there?

Yeah, for sure.

Great bay.
Good for the take-offs.

Hey.

You come back next time and
I'll show you the secret spot.

Hey. Oh, hi, kids.

- Hey.
- You look nice.

What, you have a new
girlfriend or somethin'?

No.

Where are you going?

Just to a party.
Someone's house.

Apparently,
there's a bowling alley..

...in the house.

Who's gonna be
at this party?

I don't know.

You haven't perfected
your father's signature

and we have a lot
of work to do.

We have checks.

I don't want
you going out

until you have it
perfected.

You -- you're the man
of the house now.

Alright?

Go fish.

- Jimmy.
- Huh?

Go fish, Jimmy.

Super plus!
Hot, hot, hot!

Turn it all on. Turn it..
Jimmy, go to the kitchen.

I like it
really nice and cool.

Here.

Oh, wait a minute.

- Here, chandelier.
- Over here. Over here.

Come here, Jimmy.
Oh, that's very good.

Take this, Phil.
Take this, Phil.

What do you think
of that, Phil?

Hm.

Oh, my god. Okay.

Alright, put them down.

Oh, it's like playing
with a.. Alright.

Jim, go fish.

- You sleepy?
- Hm?

Sleepy bunny.
You sleepy..

- Hey.
- What's up?

- You wanna come in?
- Sure.

You hang out
with the gay boys, huh?

Not really, they're my
brother's friends, but..

Pseudo-macho dipshits
if you ask me.

So where's your favorite place
that you've traveled to?

Mexico's good.

Wash it down with this.

Okay.

- You alright?
- Yeah.

No. Stop.

No, I don't really
wanna do this.

- It's alright.
- No, I don't want to.

Don't be..

No, it's fine. It's fine.
Trust me. Trust me.

Stop. Stop.

Well, hey, hot stuff.

Mm. You looked great
out there.

Thanks. Give me a sec.

Medina?

Yeah. And how do you know
who I am?

I'm Adrian.

I've been living
with your dad.

You shouldn't be here. My
brother's gonna kill you.

Well, I --
I just wanna talk --

- I don't.
- That's..

Did my dad send you?

No.

Good.

Looks rough out there.

- Do you even surf?
- Yeah, I surf.

Just a little bit better than
that girl in the white bikini.

Well, you can't surf
at Lunada.

Maybe try Pratt point.

They're the worst part about
moving here, you know.

How do I get to Pratt?

Someone has
to show you.

Oh.

Sandy?

It's Joe. Joe Pitchuck.

We met a while ago.

Uh, I work at the,
uh, Coldwell Banker too.

Oh.

- You okay?
- Oh.

Yeah, I'm -- I'm great.

Everything is
pretty terrific, Joe.

I'm sorry
about the article.

Yeah, well, I can imagine
some pretty dark things

but I didn't think
he would..

...buy a palazzo for her.

Yeah, it was quite a sale.

I know 'cause,
uh, that bitch stole

the, uh, listing right
out from under me.

But listen to me.

You're a really
terrific lady.

And this is no reflection
on you, okay?

Thank you.

Thank you for
saying that.

If there is anything
you need

you know,
just give me a call.

Here's my number.

Gosh, Joe, those are

those are
really kind words.

Thank you.

Nobody reads that stuff.

Check out
these mushrooms, man.

Trust me, you'll never
have as much fun

in astronomy, bro.

- Yeah. Yeah.
- Yeah.

Bro, don't do it.

Bro, don't fucking
throw up.

Alright. Eat it.
Eat it. Eat it.

You're gonna
fucking waste it, bro.

- Eat it.
- No fucking way.

Eat it, bro.
Fucking eat it.

That's $20
in the fucking sink.

Eat it, okay?

Get it all.
You want it all in there.

Gross.

Hey.

I wanna read you
something.

Okay.

A plus?

A plus?

You're a genius, Medina.

A genius.

A plus.

Here, read it to me.
Read it to me.

"The Marubo tribe
from Africa believes

that no one in their tribe
can ever safely leave --"

Marubo.

Pay attention.

"Sometimes Marubo children
sneak away to cape town

"but the elders
are smart.

They keep everyone's soul
in a jar."

Wow. Soul jar.

That's cool.

"The kids have to come
back for their souls.

"If they don't,
they die soulless.

And a lot of them do."

That's sad.

What they're trying
to say is

nothing's worse
than leaving your tribe.

Not even dying.

Maybe we're the tribe
of Palos Verdes.

You and me.

You keep my soul..

...and I keep yours.

We stick together,
no matter what.

Kids!

I have an announcement!

We're starting
a new life.

We are going to be
surrounded by beauty.

Our life will be
one of style.

We could get a gazebo!

New set
of pool furniture.

It's indoor-outdoor
living.

That's what it is.

That's why you move
to California

and we're gonna have it!

Would you
like a playhouse?

Like a little house
with everything in it

that's just
the right size?

Phil Mason. Phil Mason.

It's black.
It's black. Phil Mason.

Can someone get me
a telephone, please?

Order.

No.

Hello, yes. From the
palisades collection.

King size sleigh bed
with a beachy feel.

Yes, with the mattress.
Organic.

Yes.

You have a 5?

Oh, look who's all
dressed up for daddy.

I'm not dressed up.
Jim, are you ready?

It's just dinner.

You think your dad's
gonna bring his new son?

Dad really wants
to see you.

No, I'm over it.

Oh, thank you.
Look at that.

That's a whole fish
right there, huh?

That's the whole fish.

Do you know that human
beings are the only species

that befriend their prey
before they eat them?

Oh, god.

- Here we go.
- Hm.

We're also
the only species

that flies airplanes
and transplant hearts.

You know, when you eat
vegetables, you kill them.

I don't think
that's, uh, correct, mom.

Adrian goes to Westridge,
the brainbox school.

He's gonna study
animal sciences

in the fall
if he aces his finals.

- So, Phil.
- Hm?

The guys only allow
white people in this club?

- No, no, no, no.
- Oh, my god.

What?

No.

There's Jerry.

- There's the Wongs.
- Okay, well..

Medina, what about you?

What are you
interested in?

- Surfing.
- Yeah?

Really like
surfing a lot.

You like surfing?
That's great.

I surfed once.

I was pretty good,
but then I got, like

4 stitches
on my chin, so..

Well, we got
through that.

Thank you for coming.

He's a strange one, huh?

Yeah, he is.

Hey, I need you to, uh

talk to your mother
about something for me.

I have to go to Paris
for a medical conference.

Ava's never seen
the riviera.

Um..

...can you tell her
you're okay with that?

You are, right?

Yeah,
I could talk to her.

Thanks. I appreciate it.

- Yup. I'll see you soon.
- Okay, sweetie.

He didn't even
say goodbye.

He doesn't leave
for a week.

You should call him.

Really?

I don't know.

I keep trying to laugh
with the boys.

Everything I say
sounds weird and wrong.

Like someone's talking
through my mouth.

Do you ever
feel that way?

Yeah.

Sometimes, I guess.

Can I ask you
a question?

Yeah.

Do you love surfing?

Yeah.

I mean, really love it?

Yeah, I do.

I don't.

Of course, you do.
You're so good at it.

I shouldn't have hit dad
that time.

He hates me now.

No, he doesn't, Jim.

Nice spot.

You know what?
Let's go somewhere else.

I can show
you something.

So what are they doing?

They're putting them back
into the wild.

They take
malnourished pups

and feed them back
to health for 3 months

and then off they go.

Oh, my gosh.

They're so cute.

Wow.

So what are you,
an animal freak?

Yup.

I'm gonna be
a wildlife vet.

That's pretty cool.

I think this thing
with your dad and my mom

it sucks.

And I'm sorry.

Do you think my dad's
gonna come back

or are they
actually in love?

Who knows?

- I hate the towel girls.
- Mm.

- They wear all match --
- All the matching towels.

Watch
the popular guys surf.

I hate everyone
in Palos Verdes.

Seriously, you're the only
cool person I met here.

You can't tell anyone
that we're friends.

Okay?

I won't tell anyone
we're friends.

And I hate people

who don't share
their food.

Well, I usually hate
people who eat my food.

I really like
you though.

I'm still
chewing my chip.

It's taking a little
while, but he'll feel

much better after he gets
a little bit rested

I promise. Um --

This is
my teenage daughter.

- She's all hysterics.
- Mom!

- Okay.
- What happened? Is he --

He's fine, Medina.
He's fine.

- Is he in here?
- Yes, but shh.

Uh, Mrs. Mason, if I may
ask you a few questions.

Okay.

Has your son been
using, uh, alcohol

or drugs lately?

Absolutely not.

He's just under
a lot of stress.

His father ran off
with a skank.

We're running
out of money, uh..

Have you considered
anxiety medication?

Oh, I have a prescription.
Thank you.

I'm sorry.
I meant for your son.

Are you okay?

Yeah.

But you scared me..

...so much.

Please stop, Jim.

I'm really glad
you're here.

Hey.

Wow.

- You came.
- Come on. Come on.

Jesus Christ.

How are you feeling?

Come on.

I know that,
uh, it's hard

when everyone else
is doing it.

Just don't, right?

You're smarter
than that.

Yeah.

Just -- just stupid.

- It won't happen again.
- Good.

Good.

Hey, dad, can we come
to Paris with you guys?

Oh, my god.
I would so love that.

Yeah?

Um, this trip
is not for fun.

You know, it's a --
It's a medical conference.

But next time,
definitely yes.

Yes.

Besides I don't think
your mother would be

too thrilled, right?

How's it going over there?
She doing okay?

Sure.

You would not believe the
bills that I'm getting.

Does she ever
turn the lights off?

I hope she's not off
her meds.

She's not crazy, dad.

She's just sad.

Yeah, I know.

Well, I'm gonna call
and check on you guys

every week.

And when I get home

we'll figure things out,
alright?

Dad, I really
don't think

it's a good idea
that you go.

Okay.

This is a work trip.

I have to be there,
alright?

I'm gonna set
a good example for Jim.

Someone has to be
an adult around here.

Everybody doesn't
get to go bonkers.

Hi, Mrs. Mason.

Don't be long, son.

Hey.
Hey, I'm sorry I'm here.

I -- I hope
it's not weird.

I just didn't hear
from you last night.

We were supposed
to go out, so worried.

Oh, no, it's..

We just had..
Mom's really sick.

Had to take her
to the emergency, so..

Oh, okay.

God, she gets
sick a lot.

Yeah.

It's been a really
long night. I should..

Oh, yeah, yeah.
Okay, um..

- Get some rest.
- Alright.

A lot of terrible things
could happen, you know?

You could
get her pregnant.

She could force you
to marry her.

I'm not getting
married, mom.

I'm too young.

Well, that's my point.

I don't even like her
that much.

Well..

...then there's no point
in spending so much time

with her, is there?

Honey, I'm just
going through

a rough patch, okay?

When you're with me,
it helps me so much

'cause you're the man
of the house.

And you're more of a man
than your father ever was.

So, hey.

No more trips
to the hospital, alright?

That's not fun.

Baby, it's just till
I get my feet under me.

I promise.

I'm just trying to look
after the two of you.

- Hi.
- Hey.

I heard
what happened to Jim.

You okay?

I'm not sure anyone
in the family's okay.

I'm sorry,
I -- I -- I wish

I could come over there
right now.

Yeah, that'd be nice.

So, um..

...when you going off to
that veterinarian school?

Um, it's a real school,
yes.

Do they have,
like, fraternities?

You're gonna
join a frat?

Well, yeah, of course,
oh, you know

I'll be
an oma ki kappa sig bro.

I like picturing that.

Did you hear
Johnny fucked Kelly Bob?

- No!
- No way.

I swear to god.

- What are these guys?
- Yo, you can't surf here.

- Hey, babe, just relax.
- Yo.

Fuck's with this guy?

Hey, you're not
fucking listening to me?

You can't fucking
surf here.

Dude, you don't own
this fucking beach.

- Fucking told you!
- Get off! Get off!

- What are you doing?
- Come on, get off!

- Get off me.
- Fuck off.

Wow.

This is weird.

Does he hide millions
under the mattress?

No.

They hide it in a fake
cantaloupe in the fridge.

You like it?

Yeah.

It was nice last night.

Yeah, it was.

I hope you don't get
in trouble though

because of me.

No, I'm gonna be fine.

I have my window, so..

- Jesus!
- Get out of the car.

Wait, no. No, don't
get out. Don't get out.

Medina. Medina. No.

- Fuck you, asshole!
- Stop it!

Get the fuck
out of the car!

- Jim, stop!
- Medina.

Hey, you already
got my dad!

- Get back in the car.
- Isn't that enough?

- I don't think I --
- Just go!

- You stay the fuck --
- Stop! Stop!

- I promise you, okay?
- You're okay?

I can handle this.
Please just go. Okay?

Jim.

Jim. Jim.

I thought you ran away
for good, man.

Jim.

- Jim, stop.
- Please don't leave me.

- Look how I am.
- Jim.

I'm right here, okay?
Okay?

Okay?

You're all
I've got, Jim.

You're all I've got.

Yeah, I'm good.
I'm good.

Well, you gonna
come with me?

Are you gonna keep
acting all crazy?

- Yeah. Yeah, go on.
- Come in.

- Come in.
- Yeah.

Come on, Jim.
You're good, okay?

- Okay.
- Okay.

Otherwise leave a message
at the tone.

Hey, dad, uh..

...I've been trying
to call you.

Maybe your phone
doesn't work there.

Um..

...I don't know.
I'm worried about Jim.

It's -- it's --
It's urgent, dad.

What's so urgent?

I hope your father isn't
teaching you to lie like him.

I'm worried about Jim.

I'm worried
about him, mom.

I'm -- I'm taking care
of Jim.

You don't need
to worry about Jim.

What?

You're not taking care
of him, mom!

Okay, he's right in front
of your fucking face

and he's not okay!

Why are you talking
to me like this?

I am his mother!

And you're out
all night, anyway!

What do you know?
Are you a slut?

I hear your computer ringing
at 2:00 in the morning.

- What kind of person --
- Hey, hey.

An amazing person.

- A great person.
- Cut it out!

Tell your sister
to stop fighting me!

Jim, come on.
Let's go surf.

No, no, no,
it's Saturday.

Jimmy, it's our day.
We have so much to do.

Jim, she treats you
like you're her husband

even though you're not!

How dare you?

I do not!

Take it back,
young lady!

- Jim.
- Hmm.

Jim, wake up.

Let's go surf.

Be careful with that.
It's brand-new.

It's brand-new.
Right in.

Oh, great.

There should be
big things.

There should be a couple
of headboards

and a couple
of big rugs.

You know what?
This couch can go.

Just give it away.

Ralph Lauren.
From Neiman Marcus. Just..

I'm live here
in the exclusive

gated community
of Palos Verdes.

Yet another firebreak

and this one
in crystal cove.

A resident reported
seeing a man

described as tall,
possibly Latino and fast.

And we've been able to
track down that resident..

Medina!

What did you do?

Have a seat.

I got you a gift.

Ta-da!

Oh, thank you.

It was Jim's idea.

1, 2.

We can be a
family again.

Oh.

By the way,
the house now..

...it's a thing
of beauty.

- You like it?
- You're an artist.

Oh, thank you.
You're too sweet.

The tide's turning.

My sentiments exactly.

Hm.

I had 3 offers withdrawn
all because of these fires

and -- and it's killing
my business. It's crazy.

Well, you know what
it is? It's a plague

on the people
of Palos Verdes

for their greed,
for their trade

and for the younger model
philosophy.

I mean, what goes around
comes around.

Someone should take
a match

and burn
the whole place down.

More what?

Potatoes? Salad?

Mm, that wouldn't be
very good

for my business now,
would it?

Well, you're the one
who said it.

Joe Pitchuck,
dedicated to raising

the values
of the community.

Well, I said
dedicated to, uh, raising

the property values
of the community.

I -- I -- I don't think
the people are so bad.

I mean..

...they're my friends,
Sandy.

Well, I guess now wouldn't
be the best time

to put the house
on the market, huh, kids?

Shoot.

Hold on there a sec.

This is one special
property, you know?

We could have..

...this house listed in,
like, tomorrow.

You didn't ask me
where I'm going.

I thought I knew.

Okay, Sandy.

Let's please
not talk about it.

Oh, Jim, I think..

I think maybe you should
escort Mr. Pitchuck out.

What?

Um..

It's okay. Ahem.

Mom?

Your mother, the optimist.

Oh, I'm so dumb.

It's okay, mom.

I'm live here
in the exclusive

gated community
of Palos Verdes

with Kristen Dalton,
a homeowner out here.

And Kristen,
your thoughts?

Our house is way nicer
than hers now.

Maybe we'll get lucky
and the arsonist

will burn down
your father's house.

We don't have
crime here.

We haven't even had
a crime since 1916.

I mean, I left Encino to get
away from this kind of shit.

Okay, alright, well,
thanks for talking to us.

And now I'm getting
reports of another fire.

Look at it go.

What if it comes here?

We'll jump in the ocean.

What the hell
are you doing here?

I couldn't reach you.

- I told you not to --
- Medina!

I have something
to show you.

You okay?

Hey, hey, hey, hey.

What's going on?

Wanna get out of here?

On that beach.

Surf.

- Just get away.
- I can't do this.

Why? Why, why not?

I have to be there
for Jim.

You know, we don't --
We don't have much time.

I know.

You're leaving
and he's staying.

I have to go.

I just spoke
to your father.

This isn't working.

Um..

He's decided..

Medina, you're gonna
go stay with him

for a while.

Jim, you'll stay here.

And that's how
we'll move forward.

I knew it.

Jim, she's lying to you.

Dad would never
say that.

I'm gonna call him.

You've reached
Dr. Phil Mason.

If this is
a life-threatening

emergency,
hang up and call 911.

Otherwise leave a message
at the tone.

Jim.

Let's get out of here.

Please just
let me sleep.

I really mean it, Jim.

We're gonna get in the car
and we're gonna drive.

We're gonna get
the hell away from here.

We can go to all the
places we talked about.

You're my tribe, Jim.

It's just you and me.
Okay?

Okay.

You're right, Medina.

- I'm so sorry.
- It's okay.

Here.

I wish it didn't
have to be like this.

I know.

I wish
we could celebrate..

...in some way.

Celebrate what?

We're both getting away
from this place.

Yeah, we are.

Thank you.

Good luck.

Hey.

Sorry I'm late.

You excited?

I feel so great.

Why are you looking
at me like that?

Why are you looking
at me like that?

Stop.

Okay.

Hey, I've got something
to show you.

- I got something --
- Jim, stop.

Come grab your bag.

- Come on!
- Okay.

Come on.

Come on.

Storm's moving in.

It's a sign.

Come on, Jim,
we gotta go.

Medina.

I'm sorry
if I fucked things up.

I didn't mean to.

It's okay, Jim,
but we gotta go, okay?

She said someone should
burn the place down.

Jim, remember
what we talked about.

We're gonna get
the hell out of here.

You don't need
to do that!

I know what I'm doing.

I love you, Medina.

No, Jim. Mom!

It's over.

It's really over.

The fire department
found Jim

incoherent
on Pratt point acid.

They were pleased
to be able to announce

that the PV arsonist
had been caught

and that law and order
would once again

return to peaceful
Palos Verdes.

Did you ever see him
start a fire?

When we found your son,
he was wandering

disoriented
talking to himself.

He didn't know
where he was

and wasn't able
to answer any questions.

We found Vicodin
and cocaine

in his possession.

He appears to have had
a substance-induced

psychotic episode
or break.

Young brains
are more susceptible.

Especially to
environmental stressors.

How long -- how long do you
want to keep him here?

We're gonna need to keep
him here for a while.

I think everyone's gonna
need an adjustment period.

Okay.

I got you something.

How are you doing?

They found the arsonist.

It was a tennis dad.

How crazy is that?

I'm sorry that I thought
it was you.

You scared me.

I didn't know what
you were thinking anymore.

I feel
very peaceful now.

I'm gonna leave
this place soon.

We're gonna get you
out of this place.

We're gonna
go on a trip.

Somewhere where
we're surfing every day.

And we're gonna be
in warm water.

We're gonna go
to all the places

that we talked about.

I'm gonna miss
those big winter waves.

I love you so much,
weirdo.

Oh.

I love you so much.

Hm.

Property sells fast
in PV.

People like that
the grass must be green

and cut attractively.

That all the roofs
must be made of red tile

and the walls
of each house

must be painted
every 3 years.

The PV beaches
were maintained daily.

The city used
special machines

to clean the sand
that thresh, mix

and spit out
the crystals

into immaculate,
fine white powder.

It was one of these
machines that found Jim

lying face down
at Cabrillo Beach

15 miles south
of the PV peninsula.

He overdosed
on a bad mixture

of prescription drugs
he had stolen.

His heart
just stopped beating.

I'm sorry. I'm sorry.

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry. I'm sorry.

I'm sorry.

There were only 2 days
in my entire life

that I didn't see Jim.

I couldn't imagine
a life without him.

My father wants me
to move in with him.

He says I deserve
every advantage.

He hopes
I can teach him to surf.

My mother calls
from Joshua tree.

She says
she's getting help now.

That we can start
a whole new life

and that my new room
is ready whenever I am.

I'm leaving PV..

...alone.

I'm going to surf
the world

just like Jim and I
had talked about.

Hawaii, Bali,
java and Mexico.

I have no itinerary.

No plans to return.

Maybe my tribe
is out there somewhere.

The ocean
is where I belong.

I say goodbye to Jim
one last time

from the bay.

I know that Jim will be
watching me wherever I go

with a huge smile
on his face.

There's a lot for you
to watch out for

in the ocean.

Sharks, rays,
riptides, jellyfish

and unpredictable
currents.

But here's some remedies
for its dangers.

When you get stung
by a jellyfish

pee immediately
on the sting.

Uric acid
will soothe the pain.

Duct tape can pretty much
fix everything.

A ripped wetsuit,
a dinged board.

And if you get swept
into a riptide

try to remain calm

then swim like hell
with the horizon.

Other than that,
it's pure magic.
