Damn it!
That was a big one.
Be quiet, asshole. Do you want to get us caught?
What?
Can we really fish here?
Relax bro, I fish here all the time.
Exactly.
No one's ever said I couldn't.
At least think of Edmar.
Don't drag him out here and get him tangled in your mess.
(water splashes)
(soft ukulele music continues)
(Zack chuckles)
Not bad.
Not bad?
I've got twice as many as you!
Quit being a bitch. I caught this for you, didn't I?
(soft ukulele music continues)
- [Kona] Ho!
You boys fish catch and release?
- Bro, we're only taking a few.
- [Kona] And what? You get license?
- We don't need a permit to fish here.
It's a public access.
- It doesn't mean it's okay.
- Kona?
What the hell, man?
You scared the shit out of us.
- Good. I was trying to.
(tense ominous music)
- What the fuck's going on here?
- Big bucket.
How much you guys planning on taking?
- Just what we need.
- What you need?
You don't need these o'opu.
The stream needs these.
- So what?
You guys own the stream?
- Brah, my uncles restored this stream
so we all can get.
You understand?
- Exactly!
So we all can get.
- Too many people have been taking from the stream.
- Look, we have enough.
Let us take that, and we'll go.
- Oh, someone's found their voice.
- Nah, you guys get plenty.
I like to take some.
- No ways, bro.
We caught this.
Go catch your own!
- Nah, you guys get plenty.
Let me take some of these.
- Bro! Bro!
(dramatic music)

- [Edmar] Zack, let's just go.
- That's right. Just go.

- You boys better be behaving yourselves.
- Yes, Ms. Thomas.

♪ But I'm still finding love
♪ I'm still finding love
- Haku?
- Sup, Miss?
- What's up, Haku?
♪ Yeah, I'm still finding love
- Thank you.
(Kona sighs)
(paper crumples)
What's your grade?
Sixty five...
And I studied a lot!
What was yours?
Seventy.
That's a little better.
It was hard!
What was yours?
Seventy five.
See!
It was really hard.
- Okay, class.
In addition to your grade,
you'll notice that I've also written
a classmate's name on the top of your paper.
That'll be your partner for the final exam.
Before you guys complain,
I've done my best to make sure
that you're paired with the people
that I know that you wanna work with.
These pairings are final. No switching.
No. I wanted to work with Pili.
Who are you paired with?
I don't know.
(birds chirping)
- [Ms. Thomas] There you go.
- Thank you.
- Ooh, 85.
Eh. I passed.
Edmar. I don't even want to know.
Probably a hundred.
- [Ms. Thomas] As mentioned,
those assigned partners are final.
Remember, you and your partner are to create
a traditional dish that is important to one of you.
Work on that dish together, learn about that dish.
And on the final day of class,
bring enough to share for everyone.
You're gonna give a presentation
to tell everyone about the dish,
and get to share what it tastes like.
Fun, right?
Well, at least I'll have fun
getting to eat the dishes that y'all make.
(bell rings) Class dismissed.
I'll meet up with you guys later.
- See ya.
- Edmar, good job on that test.
- Thanks. - As per usual.
Have a seat.
- So, why did you want to see me?
So you guys know each other?
- Yeah.
- Good.
You folks will be partners for the final project.
- Oh, no way. I was fine with anyone else.
- Boys. - I can't.
- I have uneven numbers in both of your class periods.
Pili, you're smart.
But you hold yourself back
because you don't wanna put in the effort.
You need a partner that can challenge you,
and I expect you to put in your best work.
And Edmar, I'm going to push you.
And I know that you are going to meet
and exceed my expectations.
Now, I don't wanna hear any more complaints.
And I expect a fabulous presentation.
Have a good afternoon.

Want some help?
No.
(faint catchy dance music)
Fine. Please help me.
Let me see.
- X plus Y is greater than or equal to 20.
...and the rules of B and C.
Nice work.
(camera shutter snaps)
What are you doing?
Ah, here it is.
You got them mixed up.
3.5 is associated with X,
and 4.5 is associated with Y.
You had it backwards.
See?
That's because he's an idiot.
(Edmar chuckles)
But Ed. That thing Ma'am Thomas did.
That was messed up.
I know, right. I don't get it.
You're obviously way smarter than that asshole.
(Edmar laughs)
The whole world is smarter than that idiot.
Him and his whole crew.
Agreed.
So what are you goin to do?
Just do it myself I suppose.
- Huh?
No way. F that.
(Cedric and Edmar chuckling)
Those mfers. Don't let them walk all over you.
If I were you, I'd make him do most of the work.
(soft string music)
Sure you would.
Of course I would.
And one more thing.
I'd put him in his place.
In the trash.
(Edmar chuckles) (soft string music continues)
Okay, that's a bit over the top.
Want to switch partners?
No way. We're a dream team. Right, Ced?
- Yeah! That's my best friend.
Whatever.
(soft string music continues)
I guess I'll have to speak to him.
(mellow acoustic guitar music)
(soft acoustic guitar music)
- Babe, don't worry.
No one's coming in.
We can't come in here.
(soft acoustic guitar music continues)

- Go.
Go, go.
(soft acoustic guitar music continues)
- Come on.
(Sina chuckles)
Babe. There's someone behind you.
- What's up?
(Edmar clears throat)
- So, I guess we should figure out..
so we can work on this project?
- All right.
- I can't meet tonight.
I have work, closing.
West Maui Market.
- Okay.
- Are you free now?
- Like now?
- Yeah.
- I have paddling practice soon.
- Um-
- I have practice after school alm..
I'm only free nights.
- I work a lot of nights closing West Maui Market.
- Right.
- So, where should we meet?
- I don't know.
Everything closes after nine.
- You could come over to my place.
- Yeah, sure.
- Okay.
Tonight.
Cool.
I guess I should get your number,
so, you know, we can connect.
(birds chirping)
- Oh my gosh.
That was so awkward.
His house?
Good luck.
(Sina chuckles)
So what happened?
I invited him to my house.
You invited him?
Bro, do you need backup
I'll keep an eye on him.
I'm good.
You sure?
I don't think we'll have any problems.
(crickets chirping)
(video game music)
(camera shutter snaps)
- Pretty.
- Sorry?
- Pretty cool that you're working on this project
with my cousin.
- Yeah, thanks.
- Maymay, please, some space.
- I'm not bothering you.
I'm just here, minding my own business.
Do you use product for your skin?
- Um...
- I'm so sorry.
- Don't apologize for me.
I'm wonderful.
I should be the one apologizing for you.
So sorry about my cousin, Pili.
He's awkward.
- Maymay!
- I'm sorry, but it's true!
Don't you agree, Pili?
- Uh...
- Let's just work, okay?
- Do you have a girlfriend?
- [Edmar] Come on.
- Wait!
Your project's about food, right?
Share some taro kalamay with me!
(camera shutter snaps)
- Taro kalamay is actually not a bad one.
I can teach you about it.
It's easy to make.
- Do you mind?
- No.
Go for it.
(container rattles)
- So, you like cars?
- I mean...
Sure.
- Yeah?
I'm helping Kona work on his truck.
He's saving up right now to put a new exhaust in.
You know, I think we should raise it a little bit more
so we can cruise Front Street.
But he's not going for it.
(pen clicks)
- Kona, huh?
- What does that mean?
- Why do you hang out with him?
He's kind of intense.
- Look, you wouldn't get it.
We're close, he's like my brother.
So don't talk smack, okay?
Besides, he's not like Zack.
- What do you mean?
- He's a prick.
- Look, if I can't talk about your friends,
then you can't talk about mine.
I'm close with Zack, just like you're close with Kona.
He's my best friend.
Him and Ced.
- Cool.
- Cool.
So, taro kalamay.
(Pili chuckles)
- If we're gonna make something with kalo,
we should do poi.
- Why?
- Because we have to present
on something culturally important,
and no plant is more important to Hawaiians than kalo.
Plus, I already know the backstory.
- What does this have to do with kalo?
- Okay, so, there's Wakea and Papa.
The Sky Father and Earth Mother.
They had a daughter together named Ho'ohokukalani.
- Mhm.
- And then Wakea and Ho'ohokukalani
had their own kid together.
- The father and the daughter?
- Yeah.
(Pili laughs)
- And then their child, Haloa, was..
- Okay?
- Okay, so they buried Haloa.
The dead baby, right?
- Mhm.
- And then a kalo plant grew from ..
And then Wakea and Ho'ohokukalani had a second son,
who was named also Haloa,
because it was in honor of his dead older brother.
So, yeah.
Haloa's the first Hawaiian human person,
and his older brother was also Haloa.
- Okay, that's cool.
Filipinos have so many,
and we can choose one no one will present on.
We have adobo, lechon, sinigang, dinaguan.
I could go on.
- Maybe we should present on o'opu,
and why they're important.
Yeah, we can present on the history of people
who tried to restore the West Maui streams.
Oh, and then you could do a demonstration
on how people are ruining it by overfishing.
- Sure, and you can bully some hungry kids in class
'cause you're all so high and mighty
and better than everyone.
- You don't know me!
- You don't know me.
- I thought you might be hungry, Pili.
- I should go.
(soft music)
I like him :)
Maymay, don't.
What? I'm just...
Just stop!
(soft music continues)
♪ Keep you up at night
(bell rings)
- Bye.
Save it, Edmar.
- What? You don't even know what I was gonna-
- No.
Okay, Pili asked me earlier if he could switch par..
I'm assuming that you're here for the same thing.
- No, not to switch partners,
just to do a project on my own.
I don't mind.
- Look, learning to work with somebody
that you may not see eye to eye with
is an important part of life, Edmar.
You two need to figure it out.
Look, learn to work together
and present this project together,
or I can't give either one of you a passing grade.
- Okay.
(locker slams)
Look, I can't stand you, you can't stand me.
Ms. Thomas isn't going to pass us
if we don't work together.
I've never failed a class in my life.
I'm not about to let you be the reason
I have to retake social studies.
So, we can do the presentation on kalo.
- Cool.
Look, I'm working the lo'i this weekend,
and I thought it would be a good initiation for you.
You should come work with us.
- Us?
- Me and my family.
- Okay.
- I'll text you.
- Great.
Awww, you guys so cute.
(Pili mumbles)
(mellow Hawaiian music)
(mellow Hawaiian music continues)
(mellow Hawaiian music continues)
- Hey, get in the back and let your friend ride up front.
- He's not my friend.
- Yeah, yeah, yeah, whatever.
I don't care, let him sit up front.
Come on.
(mellow Hawaiian music continues)
Edmar, howzit?
I'm Jack, Pili's uncle.
How are you, bro? Are you ready?
- Yep. - Yeah?
(mellow Hawaiian music continues)
So I look him right into the eye, yeah?
Bro, it was kind of intense, you know?
And I told him, I said,
"Hey, so what?
You got a bucket or what for that fish?"
And he looked right back at me.
Bro, almost like he was looking
right into my soul, you know.
And he told me, he go, he go like this, he go,
"No, I no more bucket.
And what?"
Just like that bro, "And what?"
(Uncle Jack and Edmar laughing)
I go, "Bro, I got choke buckets in the back.
You like one?"
- And you said he was Filipino?
- Oh, yeah, guaranteed. You could just tell.
- I'm Filipino.
- Uh, yeah, bro. That's why I'm telling you this.
Pili told me all about you.
All your guys stupid drama over fishing.
Bro, that's so dumb.
You guys gotta learn for be more pono with each other.
- Yeah, I know.
It's just-
- No, no, no, no, no, no, bro.
I don't like hearing no excuses.
As my Papa used to always tell me,
"Mangan tayon."
- He would say, "Let's eat?"
- Oh, shit.
That's not right, huh?
(Uncle Jack laughs)
- You're Ilocano?
(Edmar speaks in Tagalog)
- Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa!
Relax, my brother. Okay?
I'm only half of my Papa.
I no can speak jack shit.
- Does that mean Pili is...
- Nope.
(Uncle Jack laughs)
- Look, me and Pili's mom, we cousins,
but not through the Filipino side.
Pili, he's not Filipino, but we family, yeah.
Bro, what is this?
Get your lepo feet off!
What you think this is?
(Uncle Jack chuckles)
Anyways, bro.
I'm super happy you're coming
to work the lo'i with us.
You welcome anytime, man.
Right, Pili?
Yeah, that's what I thought.
(lighthearted Hawaiian music)
(lighthearted Hawaiian music continues)
- Hoo, the family!
(horn honks)
- [Auntie] Hey.
Aloha. - Hello.
How are you?
I'm good, how are you?
I'm good.
- Aloha.
So you must be Edmar?
I'm Auntie Nona.
You can call me Auntie for short.
(Auntie chuckles)
Mahalo for joining us today.
- Thanks for having me.
- Of course, of course.
- And thanks for the ride, Uncle Jack.
- Edmar, I got you, bro, anytime.
(Auntie and Edmar chuckling)
- So, Edmar, um, you ever worked a lo'i before?
- Um...
I used to play in the rice fields when I was little.
- Oh?
- Yeah. - Where?
- In Ilocos, back in the Philippines.
- Oh, wow, okay.
- Mhm. - Oh, awesome.
Well, just so you know,
you might be getting a little bit dirty,
I hope you're okay with that.
(Auntie laughs) - Yup.
- And then of course, Pili...
It would've been nice if you had told
him to wear proper clothing.
I hope you came ready to work.
Okay, come.
(Auntie speaks in Hawaiian)
- [Uncle] Hey, cousin. - Hey.
Aloha.
- Aloha, how are you?
- Mm, good, how are you?
(mellow Hawaiian music)
(mellow Hawaiian music continues)
(mellow Hawaiian music continues)
(mellow Hawaiian music continues)
- Water?
What? Is my water not good enough for you?
(Auntie and man giggling)
So, what, boys?
You guys get what you needed for your project?
- This is just the start, Mom.
- I learned a lot.
Thanks again for having me.
- Pili, after you guys finish eat lunch,
take Edmar up mauka.
Take him to the stream and go show him
why we serious about our wai.
- I don't think that's necessary.
- Why not?
You here.
Take him.
- Yeah.
- Don't forget about your cousin's luau, yeah?
Edmar, you ever been to a luau before?
- Um...
- That's okay.
You coming to ours.
You see what we do, and then Uncle Jack,
he could take you back after.
Yeah.
Pili, don't be late.
(soft Hawaiian music)
Don't forget.

(water runs)
- This is beautiful.
- It didn't always look like this.
- [Edmar] What do you mean?
- Before the Land Company came in,
there was even more water.
- Hm.
- My Grandpa told me that the plantations
diverted the streams into sugar cane and pineapple fields.
A lot of water was lost.
Some rivers stopped flowing entirely.
Some families lost access to water.
Who could do that, you know?
For my ohana...
Water is the source of life.
(stream splashes)
So when the streams and the animals living in it
gets restored, it's a big deal.
And when people like you
start overfishing in our streams-
- I wasn't even fishing!
I was just hanging out.
Did you really have to tell everyone about that?
- I had to tell them how I knew you.
- Couldn't you just say we went to school together?
- Sure.
(Edmar sighs)
- Thanks for...
Teaching me about the lo'i
and showing me all this stuff.
- Yeah.
Thanks for being here.
- Your mom's pretty cool.
Super nice.
And Uncle Jack too.
- Yeah, sorry he went off.
He'd spent all day talking to one of these rocks.
- Sorry about my cousin the other day.
- It's chill.
I have cousins, too.
One's just like yours, actually.
- Well, that sucks.
(Edmar and Pili chuckling)
- What about your parents?
Where were they the other night?
- They both work night shifts at the hotels.
(stream splashes)
- So...
You don't really want to go
to the luau tonight, do you?
- Your mom wants me to be there, so...
- All right, well...
I guess we better get back.
We both look like shit.
(Edmar chuckles)
(Edmar gasps)
(water splashes)
You okay?
- Yeah.
Thank you.
- Okay.

Long distance?
That's tough.

She's from Ilocos, where we're from.
- I thought you were from here.
- No.

My family moved here when I was younger.
Anyway, Aira...
- Mhm.
- She sometimes posts pictures, and she is with other boys.
- Do you say anything?
I mean, do you ask...
- Aira?
- Do you ask Aira who these other guys are?
- No.
- You should.
(Edmar sighs)
- It's complicated.
- I mean, I get that.
But still, if it's bothering you,
I think you should talk about it.

Maybe she's trying to make you jealous.
Maybe she feels threatened

Hui, Jack!
- And there he is, my brother from another mother!
- Hey, Uncle Jack!
- Boy, here we go.
- Okay, so anyway, bro. Here's the trippy part.
It turns out, my great-great Papa,
he's from one small little town
in the Philippines called Solsana.
- You mean Solsona?
- Yeah, yeah!
That's the one, that's the one.
- Yeah, my grandma's from there too.
I would visit as a kid.
I barely remember it, except for a huge waterfall.
- No shit?
Look at that, bro.
We're not so different after all!
Ah, shit, we're practically family, bro.
- All right, Jack.
Leave the boy be.
I'm sure he doesn't need
another overbearing uncle in his li..
- Oh, overbearing? Ouch!

- Hey, Auntie Nona.
- Hey!
- Oh, here's the trouble right here.
- Hey, Uncle Jack.

You don't need the cup.

- Bro, you were going cup for cup with Uncle, huh?
- Yeah, how you feeling?
- Kinda...
Numb.
- Yeah.
That's 'awa. (Edmar laughs)
- But bro, how you feeling?
- I guess I feel like I'm cruising.
Yeah.
- [Haku] Cruising?
- Yup. - Bro, I love it.
(Haku chuckles)
Hey, where's Sina?
- Uh, she's at a different party, I think.
- Oh, okay.
Well, I'm about to head out.
Hey, you need a ride?
- Oh, no.
Uncle Jack's gonna gimme a ride af..
- Okay.
- See you.
- Suit yourself. - See you.
- Well, I guess we just need to find-
- Uncle Jack. - Uncle Jack, yeah.
- Yup. - Okay.
(Edmar laughs)
You're out cold uncle.
- I guess I should've just gone with Haku.
- Don't worry about it.
We'll find someplace here for you to sleep.
Come on.
- Okay.
- So, what'd you think of 'awa?
- Honestly, it tastes like dirt.
(Pili laughs)
- Yeah, you get used to it.
(Pili and Edmar chuckling)
- So, you and Sina...
Do you guys ever...
You know.
- Hm?
Oh, no, no, no, no.
Not yet.
I want to, but she's scared.
We've done other stuff though,
like fooling around and whatnot.
What about you and Aira?
- Long distance, remember?
- Well...
When was the last time you saw her?
- In person?
- Mhm.
- When we were kids, I guess.
- Sheesh.
So, how'd you guys meet?
- Through our families.
Her families, my families go way back.
- Hm.
And you guys just like, talk online?
Sheesh, must drive you crazy.
- Sometimes.
- Do you know what you wanna do after high school?
- Not really.
- Come on, there must be something
that you wanna do.
- I wanna become a pilot.
- There you go.
That's cool.
(Pili chuckles)
- Wouldn't that be awesome?
Getting to fly every day?
The only time when I was on a plane ride
was moving here.
I still remember it.
The feeling of getting pushed back in the seat
as we took off.
Flying up through the clouds,
staring down the oceans from so high up.
It was magical.
- Do it, man.
- Yeah.
My parents want me to be an accountant,
because I always gets As in math.
So...
I never really told them about pilot stuff.
What about you?
- Uh...
Me and Kona and Haku, all we talk about ..
Playing in college, getting scholarships,
and playing for the NFL.
Getting a sponsor and paddling.
- Cool.
- Nah, not really.
(Edmar and Pili chuckling)
I think we all know that we're not good enough,
but no one wants to say it.
- I'm sure that's not true.
- Don't tell them I said this,
but I don't even know if I want to.
- Why not?
- I love history, man.
I love learning about my culture, about my people.
And the people of all of the Pacific, you know?
Like, I wanna go to school for that.
Become a professor, do research.
Travel all over the Pacific.
Nerdy, right?
(Pili chuckles)
- Not at all, that's awesome.
And you're a good teacher.
After today, I feel like I'm part Hawaiian.

Let's go get some food.
I'll go ask my mom if she can drop you off
on her way to church.
(Pili yawns)
(soft music continues)
(soft music continues)
(Pili yawns)
Good morning. What do you want?
I'll warm up the food from last night.
I was thinking of making pancakes with 'ulu.
Hurry up!
We need to go to church.
Could we drop off Edmar at his house?
On the drive to chruch.
He's still here?
Yah...
- Edmar!
- [Edmar] Good morning, Auntie.
- I'm so sorry we didn't take you home last night.
I think Uncle Jack fell asleep a little early.
But we can take you home.
That means no big breakfast then.
- I'll make Spam and eggs.
It's faster.
- So intent on making breakfast.
Do you know what happened to my son?
Pili?
Pili?
- Mom.
- Okay, okay.
Well, hurry up, son.
You're on a timer.
- Mhm. - I'll help.
- Here, okay.
(soft music)
Hey, stop that. It's so annoying.
- Sorry.
(soft music continues)
(Maymay sighs)
Seriously. What's up with you?
You're being such a weirdo.
Nothing.
I'm fine.
Whatever.
(soft music continues)
The truth is...
Steven, can you get me some water?
- Fine.
(soft music continues)
You can't tell my family.
I'm going to break up with Aira.
WHAT!?
(Edmar shushes)
You're calling off the engagement?
You can't do that.
Your parents are going to freak out.
You don't understand.
I've been thinking about this for a while now.
And I realized I don't want to do this.
Why not?
I mean... I think...
I don't want to be with someone my parents set me up with.
If I'm going to fall in love,
I want to find that person myself.
What would you do if your parents set you up
with a guy to marry?
- Yuck!
No way.
Exactly.
- So...
You're breaking up with her?
Yeah.
I am.

(Edmar chuckles)
Good weekend?
Yeah, it was amazing.
- Amazing?
Wow.
Did you hear that Ced?
He said, amazing.
Ahh, sorry guys.
I totally forgot about the FIFA drop this weekend.
Wow. Your new friend must be so much fun
you forgot about FIFA
I'll make it up to you guys.
Promise.
We know you want to ace that Social Studies final.
And we also know you're the one doing all the work.
But that was pretty brutal to leave us hanging.
I was in the valley!
I didn't have service.
All night?
- Well...
For a long time.
Just promise me you won't ditch us for the Hawaiians.
Do you really think I'd do that?
I'm just saying.
C'mon bros.
You're like family to me.

so he's helping me
with some of the homework questions.
- Pili, you're helping Edmar?
- Yeah.
Question number three, the one we were st..
he says they went over it
for 15 minutes in class today.
- It's a tough one.
Barely anyone got it.
- Wait, did you get it?
Before class, I mean?
- Yeah.
(Edmar chuckles)
I figured it out last night.
- Huh.
I still don't get it.
- So, can you show me that again before fourth period?
- Let's just go over it now.
- Dude, it's lunch break.
- Ho, look at these fakas doing homework at lunch.
What? Is this your new boyfriend?
- Sorry, I'd sit with you guys,
but shit head likes stealing food.
- [Zack] I really hope that you're enjoying high school,
because the rest of your life
is gonna be a slippery downhill.
- Are you calling me dumb?
(Cedric laughs)
- Wow, he finally he figured it out.
Maybe he's a tiny bit smarter than I expected.
- Bro, I should scrap you right here.
- Kona, not right now.
We'll fuck him up later.
Let's go eat somewhere else.
- Pili, you coming?
- Uh, sorry guys.
I got work to do.
- Whatever.
Hae a good day.
- [Zack] What'd you guys get up to this weekend
that was so exciting?
- We just ended up working in the lo'i,
then Edmar joined us for a family lu'au.
(Cedric chuckles)
- Must have been some lu'au to kee..
- Wait, did you guys get the new FIFA?
- Yep.
We played it this weekend,
and this sucker missed out.
(Zack laughs)
- [Pili] How was it?
- Do you play?
- Of course I do. I love FIFA.
- We're playing it tonight,

I'm sorry, I'm playing FIFA with Ed tonight.

- Yeah.
- Since when did you decide to play video games?
- Today, at lunch.
- You're really gonna go?
You're really gonna bail on me

- What does that mean?
- Uh, it's kind of hard to translate.
It's like being close to something, but in a good way.
Like an important relationship.
You know what I mean?
- Yeah.
That's interesting.
Pili in Tagalog means to choose.
And you choose a relationship, so that's quite fitting.

- What? I'm just wondering.
- No, I do not.
So, how long have you guys known each other?
- Pretty much grew up together.
What about you?
You've known Kona and Haku a long time?
- Yeah.
Kona and I have known each other si..
Haku is my cousin,
but I didn't know him until his family
came here from O'ahu,
when we were in middle school.
- [Cedric] Right on.
- You guys have girls in the Philippines like Ed?
(Cedric laughs)
- Nope.
He's the only one in an arranged marriage.
- Guys, again, for the last time,
I'm not in an arranged marriage.
- Arranged marriage?
- Old school, man.
Like a peasant farmer living in the fucking 1800s.
- Guys, I'm not gonna marry her.
I told her.
- Wait, you what?
- I told her.
- When?
- Yesterday.
- And didn't even tell us?
- I mean, it happened kind of fast, so.
- Good for you, man.
(Zack chuckles)
Fuck the system, right?
- Mhm.
- I guess no more relative petitions ..
- [Cedric] Did you tell your parents?
- Mm, not yet.
(Cedric chuckles)
- Ballsy, man.
- So like, you guys fully broke up?
- Yeah, I guess so.
- Uh, how did she react?
- Pretty okay, honestly.
I don't think she really cares.
- Wow.
And you're doing okay?
- [Zack] He's fine.
- I'm great.
It actually helped me a lot
about what you were saying the other day,
about confronting her.
(Edmar sighs)
I guess I felt trapped, and never ..
- Well, shit, man.
I didn't mean to ruin a marriage, but go..
(Zack and Pili groaning)
- You fucker! - Woo!
(Pili laughs)
- Nice moves.
- God damn it, Pili.
You're pretty good at this game.
I don't know if that makes me hate you or like you.

OMG you're so HOT!!!

- [Edmar] She said we have to learn to work together,

- Add too much, and it gets lumpy.
- Do you think we can still keep hanging out?

- With Kona and Zack at each other's throats,
I don't see it happening.
And I'm not gonna stop being friends with Kona.
- I'm not going to stop being friends with Zack.
- See?
And avoiding it isn't gonna happen.
That's why I came over here tonight.
I'm camping Papalaua tomorrow with Haku and Kona.

And she's a college graduate.
And she's really good at cooking,
but she wants to come to Hawai'i.
But you know, it's hard to find a way to get here.
Maybe you guys can help me out?
So that she can come here...
Um... we're good, auntie.
C'mon, she makes really good palabok.
She's really good. Even better than me.

Since when you guys care about the ..
- What do you mean?
- [Kona] Bro, just a couple of week..
you was taking o'opu.
- It is a public stream.
- Just drop it already.
- I'm sorry, it's just,
I know the stream is only there
because we fought the developers to put it back.
The point was so the o'opu would come back.
But if you guys are taking all the o'opu out,
what's the fucking point?
- So people like me can take care of their families.
So we can eat, yeah?
- You don't need it.
- Man, you don't know shit about me.
- I know you don't need a fish to live.
- Dude...
My family was poor as shit back in the Philippines.
My dad died, so my mom was able to petition to come here.
Now she cleans toilets for a living,
and we still don't got shit.
And that's why I fish,
so I can put food on the table
without spending any money.
It's not like I'm one of those guys
that are taking and selling.
- Bro, there's just other places to fish, too.
I can show you, if you want.
- Sure.
I mean, that would be cool.
- Sure, whenever you'd like.
So, tell me about that tattoo then.

- Everyone, please, give a round of applause
for our special pair, Pili and Edmar.
Special because they come from different classes.
Let's go. (class applauds)
- Thanks, Ms. Thomas.
We chose to do a canoe plant
that is an essential piece of Hawaiian culture, kalo.
And we'll also be sharing it,
along with some traditional Hawaiian foods,
and Filipino foods that we prepared with the kalo.
Poi and taro kalamay.
Kalo is a very important plant for us Hawaiians.
As a canoe plant,
it was originally brought over by our ancestors
who carried plants that were essential
for life and culture.
Today, kalo is also an important crop
for many people in parts of the Philippines.
Like before, it was believed that the rice terraces
had existed for thousands of years.
Try this out, it's good.
- But, as it turns out that, Ed?
- The mountain people in the Philippines
grew taro until very recently in their terraces.
- In sum, taro is a source of strength
for the Hawaiian people,
as it connects us to land and first man.
- Maintaining lo'i supports
a traditional way of life for Hawaiians,
and also helps ensure a healthy ecosystem.
Because a healthy kalo patch
signals the health of the land.
- Mahalo.
- Thanks, everyone.

Beautiful.
Oh, look who decided to show up.

The crew is back together for the summer.
- Bro, I'm hungry.
- Let's go eat.
- I'm thinking fish for dinner.
How about let's go get some o'opu, huh?
- Ha, you really like riling me up.
- What can I say?
- Bro, they're so good fresh from the sma..
Maybe we can get one full bucket.
- Maybe two.
- Ha, freaking guy!
Haku, these kids never learned last time we scrapped.
I'm gonna have to throw hands again.
- You might be stronger...
But I'm faster, and smarter.
(Kona laughs)
- And thicker too, I think.
- Oh! (friends laughing)
- [Kona] I wanna see you scrap Haku right now, go.
