- I'm Waiting for the cars.
Jeff:

Danny:

- Near 70 kinds.
- Okay.
( shop bell rings )
- Surf must have been good.
- Sorry.
I'm picking up
my granddaughter
at the airport tomorrow.
You Wanna come?
You mean if there's no surf?
Sure.
I haven't seen her in years.
I don't remember What it's like
to be 17.
Me, neither.
Sorry I Was late.
Mm-hmm.
Hey, you Wanna cover
for me tomorrow?
Why?
Picking up Sue's granddaughter
at the airport.
Sue has a granddaughter?
- Yep.
- Weird.
Girl:
I know.
Oh, my God.
You've grown up.
- You look just like--
- My father?
Yeah.
Your father.
Nice suitcase.
It's my mother's.
Nicole, this is Kayla.
She manages my surf shop.
Hey, Nic.
Welcome to Santa Cruz.
Thanks.
Well, let's get you home
and settled in.
Sue:
Come on.
You guys have fun, okay?
Do you remember this place?
This is Where my father grewup.
( knocks on door )
Do you mind if I come in?
No.
Your mom said you Were
a champion swimmer
and obviously
quite a reader, too.
Look what I found.
You and your dad rode
this Wave all the Way in together.
Do you remember that?
I don't remember doing that.
Well, you Were just a natural.
He Was so proud of you.
Your mother Was, too.
She said there's a pool
at the university.
Uh-huh.
But you got the Whole
Pacific Ocean out there.
I need a pool.
For swim practice.
Of course you do.
( machine Whirring )
( knocks )
( machine powers down )
Howwas it?
Overhead.
Packed.
Summer's here.
Did you know Sue
had a granddaughter?
Yeah, Ricky's kid.
Who's Ricky?
He Was my best friend.
We Were real close,
like you and Danny.
You guys gonna take that trip
or What?
Danny's car needs
a newtransmission.
I wish I could help you guys out.
Why don't you take some
of that money you've been saving,
buy yourself a car that runs?
Little graduation present
for yourself.
It's not for that.
That Watch your mom gave you.
That's Worth something.
You can sell it.
That was her dad's watch.
So?
Go find some
uncrowded Waves, man.
You only live once.
I'd go surfing.
I knowyou Would, Dad.
I don't knowyou.
What do you Wanna know?
How come you never got married?
The short answer for now,
bad timing.
Anything else
you Wanna know?
I don't knowWhat to call you.
You can call me Sue.
( knocks )
Can l--
If you leave this door open
and that Window,
you're gonna get
a great ocean breeze.
I prefer the privacy.
What Would you like
to do tomorrow?
I have swim practice
in the morning,
and then I have to read.
You know, Nicole,
summer Will be over
before you knowit.
Sometimes you
just have to dive in
or life passes you by.
Is that what happened to you?
Maybe.
- Good night.
- Good night.
( girl laughs )
( girl screams )
( screaming )
( groans )
( dog barking )
( stammers )
Sorry. I sawa light.
That's okay.
I had almost forgotten
about all this.
Somebody could live in here.
The Whole summer long.
You Wanna see something?
My old bikini.
( laughs )
Latest style at the time.
So Who does this belong to?
- Jimmy.
- Who's Jimmy?
Jimmy Was your grandfather.
- He Was a surfer?
- Yeah.
So What happened to him?
He Was drafted and sent away
to fight in the War in Vietnam.
"Beautiful Wave"?
Sue:
His favorite place.
Where is it?
I don't know.
It might have been more
of a state of mind
than an actual place.
Jimmy used to say
that he thought
the universe
Was made of Waves.
Waves connect everything.
He just thought
that the Whole thing
Was one beautiful Wave.
You know,
Jimmy never knew
that he had a son.
You never told him?
I didn't knowthat
I was pregnant when he left.
And I didn't Want him
to Worry about me.
I just Wanted him
to come home in one piece.
His letters stopped coming,
and then my letters
started coming back.
I never had a chance
to tell him.
Jimmy gave me this
before he left.
I Want you to take it.
It's a sea turtle.
I think I'm gonna sell it.
I promised your father
that it Would be his one day,
but I couldn't let go of it.
Hello?
Hello?
Kayla:
Hey, What's up?
Sorry, the door Was open.
Yeah, it's always open.
Sue Wanted me
to bring these to you.
Great.
You've been a lot of places.
I left home when I was 13.
Yeah, it Was a bad scene.
You know, if it Wasn't for Sue,
I wouldn't be here.
She never told me anything
about this.
( blows )
My grandfather used
to live in here.
It's so cool.
- Kayla: Whoa!
- What?
It's an old surf map of Baja.
Look, it goes all the Way down
to the tip.
Past Cabo.
Check it out.
"Ola Linda."
Ola Linda?
Beautiful Wave.
Beautiful Wave? But Sue said
that Wasn't a real place.
Well, it's on the map.
It must be.
I Want to go there.
First of all,
it's in another country.
I mean, it's 1,700 miles away
from here.
And second of all
and most importantly,
Sue Would never let you go.
- Nicole: What if We Went together?
- I Wish.
Ooh! The early '60s,
ancient.
Sue:
Hey, I'm not that old.
Check out the old surf posters
and the classic log--
- Dude, it's an Olson.
- Yep.
What's an Olson?
The '60s, dude.
Early Santa Cruz shaper.
The '60s, dude.
Greg Noll, Miki Dora,
the '60s, dude.
Yeah, yeah, yeah,
really cool old stuff, brah.
- So What do you think?
- Newhead gasket,
fluid, lube, plugs, tires.
I can do it for you,
for a price.
How about enough
to cover a new tranny?
Done.
Sue:
You guys Wanna stay for dinner?
- Thanks.
- But no thanks.
'Cause We're gonna hit
the lane before it gets dark.
Yeah, but thanks.
Sue:
Okay.
So Why didn't you
ever look for Jimmy?
I tried to find out When
and Where he landed,
but the Army Wouldn't tell me
because we weren't married.
So Kayla and I Wanna
take a surf trip
to Malibu.
Really?
Just the two of you?
Hmm.
I stood here
for hours...
after he drowned.
Her mother told me
that she hasn't been in the ocean
since it happened.
Dude, hand me
the grease gun.
Oh, my God.
It's beautiful.
How much you Want for it?
You Want it?
I don't know.
How much do you think it's Worth?
Actually, it's not for sale.
Nic wants it.
Don't you, Nic?
Is that true, Nicole?
Um...
- Yeah.
- Sue: Well, that's a surprise.
I had no idea
you'd Want it.
It's hers now. She can do
Whatever she Wants With it.
I'll see you back
at the surf shop.
Kayla, it's just gonna sit here.
Actually, it's not.
Nic and I are gonna go
on a little surf trip of our own.
Find some good Waves
and some cute guys,
but if you're nice, maybe We'll
consider a deal When We get back.
- Where should I put these?
- No, you don't.
I have to read 'em all
by the end of summer.
One.
Just one.
More food?
- Please.
- Okay.
( laughs )
Kayla:
Check out the surf. Ha ha!
Cannot Wait to get you
in the Water.
Okay, put this on. I'll help you
get your board in the Water.
I don't really feel like it.
Come on, let's get in the Water.
Okay,
I'm gonna let you slide this time.
( sighs )
( gasps )
Kayla:
Finish your book?
It's not the kind you finish.
It's philosophy.
Makes you think.
You know, I think
you should think twice
about Wearing
that bathing suit again.
I mean, unless it's
for a swim meet.
I'm kidding.
I think it's really cool you got
in the Water today.
Even if it Was only up
to your ankles.
( laughing )
Let's put her down here.
( speaking Spanish )
Okay, it's good. Okay.
Let's let it go.
( speaking Spanish )
I knew she Was going
to those islands.
Bueno.
S.
- Caf?
- S, con azcar.
Okay.
Danny: Let me show you how
to drive this car.
- Jeff: Okay.
- It goes quickly.
( car sputtering )
She's a beast.
I need to learn how to drive this car
because it's apparently so awesome.
- Danny: Shut up.
- Well, it is. It is awesome, right?
- ( engine clanks )
- What Was that?
Damn it!
I thought you put
the new tranny in.
I did.
I think we threwa rod.

?And stealing 10-speed bikes?

Kayla: Get your stuff.

- Kayla: Right?
Nic, What do you think?
Sue listens to this.
- Danny: Totally.
- ( laughing )
? 'Cause your daddy made it clear
that's a rule ?
? Her dad says that's a rule ?
? Finally, you and me ?
? Alone in my car ?
? We headed to your house ?
? And We pulled
into the driveway to park ?
? We pulled in just to park ?
? Your daddy's car is gone ?
? No one's home
'cause the Windows are dark ?
? Things happen afterdark ?
? Finally, you and me ?
? Alone in my car ?
? With your head
on my shoulder ?
? Nothing more
could be better than this ?
? Better than this ?
? Then you look in my eyes ?
? And We lean close together
to kiss ?
? Then a car pulls up behind us... ?
- ( camera shutter clicks )
- ? The bright lights really blind us ?
? And before a thing
has happened, We stop ?
? Your daddy
jumped up screaming ?
? And I think I must be dreaming ?
? 'Cause he's even brought
a couple of cops ?
? Someone called the cops ?
? We both try to tell them
that he really had nothing to fear ?
? Nothing, nothing,
nothing to fear. ?
Danny: Refugio?
There are never any Waves here.
Jeff: Dude, you've never
even been to Refugio.
- Kayla: Blown out.
- Danny: Told you.
- Let's go to Rincon.
- Jeff: I gotta get Wet first.
Where you from again?
New York.
Big city girl.
Parents must have
the big bucks, huh?
You Want some?
Life's a lot easier
When you let go.
Of What?
Whatever's holding you back.

( sighs )
- Don't look at me like that.

Nothing?
Hey, What are you doing here?
Are you finished yet?
Yeah.
Where's Kayla?
I can't believe you Went out
by yourself.
I thought Kayla Was

Yeah, Well,

Danny:

- Danny: Nic. Nic, Nic, Nic, Nic.

She looks different.
Kind of hot in her little outfit, huh?
- Jeff: What's your problem?
- Dude.
If you're interested,
then stake your claim.
- If not, then step aside, 'cause--
- You're crazy.

'cause he didn't get any action.
Two, dude, count 'em.
One, two.

- Okay. Don't cry While I'm gone.
I'll be back.
Jeff:
Did I do something?
Nicole:
You don't know?
What did Danny say?
That you Were in the van
With a girl.
Danny doesn't mean it.
Mean what?
Anything stupid he says
or does.
- ( snoring )
- ( laughing )
You Wanna talk?
We could move over there.
Okay.
Thanks.
So...
how do you like surfing?
It's okay.
I mean, if you can stay
on long enough.
Yeah.
My dad said that our dads Were
best friends When they Were kids.
It's weird.
They learned to surf together.
He didn't tell you?
My--
my dad died when I was 12.
He died?
How?
He--
he drowned trying
to save someone.
I'm sorry.
You told her I was in the van
With a girl?
Why do you care what she thinks?
She's not even part of the dream.
Just stick with the original plan, man.
Just ignore her.
- What's your problem, man?
- You are, dude.
You are.
? Why are you worried
about things ?
? You can't control? ?
? Is the glass half empty?
? Or is it half full? ?
? She said you're breathing,
aren't you? ?
? You're breathing,
aren't you? ?
? I knowI'm breathing?
? But to me
it's not the same anymore ?
? I know I'm breathing?
? But to me
it's not the same anymore ?
? Well, let me hold your hand?
? So I can understand?
?Yeah, it will come around?
? I'm giving myself
the run around ?
? She said ?
? Like an orphan ?
? I'm paying with no love
left to steal ?
? You slipped away,
but you're okay ?
? You got your way ?
? And I'm not
and I'm beating myself up ?
? From the inside out?
? She said you're breathing ?
? Aren't you? ?
? You're breathing,
aren't you? ?
? I knowI'm breathing, but to me
it's not the same anymore ?
? Let me hold your hand ?
? So I can understand ?
? Yeah, it will come around ?
? I'm giving myself
the runaround ?
? She said, she said. ?
Nicole:
Maybe they can come with us.
You know we'll have to pay
for food and gas.
I want them to come.
You mean you want him
to come.
- Kayla: Baja.
- Jeff: The way it used to be.
He's written the best tide wind
and swell direction for every break.
Jeff: When were you gonna
tell us about this, Kayla?
When I was ready.
It's 1,000 miles south.
Jeff:
It's a long way.
She wants to go, dude.
Why do you wanna go there?
Kayla:
'Cause...
Jimmy surfed there.
( Whispers )
Let's go.
Danny: Mexico! where they speak
the language of love.
Oh-ho-ho!
Jeff:
You got a "D" in Spanish, dude.
So? I passed.
That's all that counts.
Jeff:
Till you have to use it.
? I'll just scream a little better ?
? And hope that something sticks ?
? What a mess, you couldn't fit ?
? lnto your little box
of matches ?
? You got something to say ?
? Anything worth while at all ?
? You lost your umbrella ?
? It's not raining atall ?
? What hole have you been in ?
? You didn't see this coming? ?
? What hole have you been in ?
?You didn't see this coming? ?
? What hole have you been in ?
? You didn't see this coming? ?
? What hole have you been in ?
?You didn't see this coming? ?
? If everyone is walking ?
? Why aren't you
the one who's running? ?
? Why don't you believe that
When you close your eyes at night ?
? Just might be the last time? ?
? It might be the last time
and you'll never ?
? You'll never wake up here again... ?
I wanna learn how
to drive my van.
? Good things come
to those who don't wait ?
? Never mind that there's
no bail left to take ?
? As you run your mouth
into the ground ?
? You are windowpast ?
? Talk about the abuse,
you divide and you conquer ?
? You're wearing
two different shoes... ?
Danny:
Okay, first is high and back.
Second is down and forward.
Third is lowand back.
Just give it a little gas
and let the clutch out slowly.
- Just--
- ( gears grind )
- Not like that.
- ( laughs )
? Why don't you believe that
When you close your eyes at night ?
? Just might be the last time? ?
( clears throat )
( laughs )
Danny:
All right.
What's that?
What's that?
Uh-oh.
Soldiers with guns, dude.
They're looking for drugs.
Good thing you got rid of yours.
Mm-hmm.
Slowdown.
Clutch in. Clutch in.

( speaking Spanish )
"Corre" means "go."
- Okay, guys get in the van. Go.

They won't get these, amigo.
( grunts )
Mira, mira.
Danny: Dude, where's the water?
I have to get wet.
- Jeff: we're almost there. Shut it.
- You shut it.
- You shut it.
- Danny: Pay attention to the road!
- I am paying attention.
- There's chupacabra in Mexico.
- There's no such thing as chupacabra.
- Yes, there are. They're vampire dogs.
Jeff:
Vampire dogs.
Nicole:
Howfar to Cabo?
Jeff:
We're half way there.
- Danny: So now where are We?
- Jeff: Alejandros.
? Oh, what a day ?
? Who's your rabbit?
Where's your rabbit? ?
? Is she high ?
She's driving me mad ?
? I love this time of year ?
? Oh, Dad, everybody's making
promises to themselves ?
? And other people ?
? It's so encouraging
to be yourself ?
? Reevaluate
and sell yourself over ?
? Yes, yes,
We both need to know?
? But I still know,
yes, I still know?
? When you're around,
When you're around ?
? There's slippery waves
but we're riding tall ?
? And just pretend,
yes, we pretend ?
? That no one sees us at all ?
? That no one
sees us at all. ?
You ate all the fish.
I didn't get anything.
I wanted the worm.
- You can't have the worm.
- Clearly I can't now.
I'm going to bed.
- ( coughs )
- Shut up.
You shut up.
( laughs )
- Danny: Hey!
- Shh!
She's--
- She's on my bag, dude.
- Shh!
She's trying to tell me something.
Just do me a favor and step back.
- Dude.
- What?
- She's off-limits.
- ( laughs )
- What did you say?
- You heard me.
Like you got anything
to say about it.
- What are you doing?!
- Come on, it's cold out here.
- ( ripping )
- Dude, it's my favorite shirt!
- Stay away from her! You hear me?
- ( Daniel winces )
I hear you.
Get off of me!
Growup!
Both of you.
She doesn't care
about either of us. Get it?
All she cares about
is some dead guy's map.
Hey, where'd you come from?
Me?
I mean, you're gorgeous.
- Thanks.
- Maybe I'll see you around, okay?
Kayla:
What is wrong with everyone?
Maybe we should just
head back tomorrow morning.
We can't.
We're not even half way.
Kayla:
Half way?
Jimmy's map goes as far
as someplace
called Cabo San Lucas.
Do you guys have anything
to contribute at all?
I don't care.
It's kind of like one
of my dad's books.
And you wanna finish it.
Look, it's your van,
and if you wanna go,
Iet's go.
Dude.
My bad.
We cool?
Stay back and we'll be cool.
Sorry about your shirt.
It's all right.
I like it better
like this anyway.
It makes me look rad.
( laughs )
Think any of Jimmy's spots
are still pure?
Further from the border we get,
the better the chances.
- Mira, Jimmy.
- I see.
Nejos.
( insects buzzing )
Oh, God.
Jimmy: This is the first time
they ever hit our beach.
- SS.
- Rafael.
You have to embrace
the enemy.
Look them in the eyes
until you see yourself,
and then you start talking.
( speaking Spanish )
( speaks Spanish )
( speaks Spanish )
Mi hermano.
Nobody does nothing.
( speaks Spanish )
Nobody cares.
They never do
until it's too late.
What?
Never mind.
Never mind?
I was just thinking
how different you are
from then.
- Different?
- Yeah.
More beautiful.
Nicole:
When I first saw you,
I wanted to do that.
- ( people shouting )
- ( laughing )
Danny:
Cabo!
Oh, my God,
I love this place.
Danny:
It's Squid Roe, dude.
Jeff: Dude, shut it.
They're sleeping.
Danny: Dude, check it.
It's like we're in Shanghai. Hyah!
Jeff: Do you even know
Where Shanghai is?
I've got to sleep.
I've been driving all day.
Danny:
Sleep? weak.
- Yes, dude, sleep.
- Party time!
- Go to sleep, then.
- I will.
- Danny: woman.
- You're a woman.
Your face is a woman.
- ( people shouting )
- ( music playing )
Where are we?
Check out the Heaven Bar.
We're legal down here, bro.
Jeff: It's 11 :00.
We should find a place to camp.
Well, you can stay here
if you want.
Just one beer, dude.
They won't even know we're gone.
( rock music playing )
Hi there.
Hoo-hoo!
( speaks Spanish )
That guy, yep. Awesome.
Thank you.
Mexico, dude.
Hey, Nic.
Lock the doors
behind me, okay?
- Dude.
- What?
Kayla.
Ooh.
( urinating )
- ( moans )
- ( bottle shatters )
Look, there's a girl inside.
You wanna party with us?
- Hey, come on, open up.
- Yeah, open up. Let us in.
Hey, this looks like
a real love machine.
Yeah, oh, yeah.
We're just joking around.
We wanna party with you.
- I said open up.
- Kayla: Get off the van now!
Now.
- Uh-oh.
- She looks mad. Real mad.
- And hot.
- Loser.
You guys handle the one inside.
This one's for me.
I said get lost.
Or what?
Hey, come here. Hey!
Fucking kooks!
Go back to Texas!
- Your girlfriend's a lesbo bitch!
- Yeah, so's our boyfriend.
- I just peed on your van.
- Let's go.
You okay?
How could you leave us
there like that? Asleep?
We thought
you'd be safe in the van.
Everything's cool. Calm down.
Don't tell me to calm down.
- Where'd you get that?
- Girl in the bar.
- You can go to jail for that.
- I don't care, dude.
- My nerves are shot.
- It's my van.
Get rid of it, Danny.
Kayla:
You heard what she said.
Get rid of it
or we're going back.
- Put it out, dude.
- Kayla: Now!
( tapping )
Hey, Nic.
Danny and I are sorry
We ditched you.
Aren'twe, Danny?
We know we're only here
'cause you guys let us come along.
Danny:
Yeah, thanks.
You're welcome.
I think we should check out
one last spot before we head back.
Sorry, dude,
this trip is over.
It's the last spot
on Jimmy's map.
Nic should at least see it.
Kayla:
What's it called?
"Ola Linda, 40 miles east."
Kayla:
"Ola" means Wave.
"Linda" means beautiful.
Beautiful Wave.
( sighs )
It Was Jimmy's favorite place.
That map is 50 years old, Nic.
So don't be surprised
if they built a resort there.
Who are these guys?
Look like gangbangers.
Kayla: Slowdown, Jeff.
They're nejos.
- Nicole: what are nejos?
- Poachers.
They're really dangerous.
My magic eight ball
says that Ola Linda
is right around the corner.
Kayla: If we don't find it by tomorrow,
We gotta go home.
- What's the rush?
- Some of us have jobs.
- Jobs.
- I'll be back.
- Where you going?
- I have to pee.
- I'll go with you.
- Danny: Don't get lost.
I'm really sorry, Nic.
I'll never leave you like that again.
I promise.
I believe you.
Nowstay here.
Jeff!
( speaks Spanish )
What's up?
( gunfire )
- Come on!
- Go! Go! Go!
- Get in the van.
- Move!
- They've got guns.
- ( gunfire )
- Kayla: Come on, get in.
- Jeff: Get in.
( gunfire )
I can't believe they shot at us.
We are out of here
at the first sign of light.
I'm sorry I asked you guys
to come here.
We all wanted to come.
( girl laughing )
( screaming )
We made it.
( beeping )
( speaking Spanish )
An Olsen?
Yeah.
Is that your van
right there?
It belonged
to my grandfather.
My grandmother
gave it to me.
Sue.
Who's that?
Jeff:
Jimmy.
Come on, you guys.
Kayla:
Let's give 'em some space.
I can't believe she kept this
after all these years.
She kept all your letters, too.
And she wore this.
You know...
I'm not the same person
your grandmother fell in love With.
We were very young
When we met.
She wouldn't recognize me.
I recognized you.
You look just like my dad.
Where is your dad?
He died.
He drowned...
saving me.
Jimmy:
I'm sorry.
It's my dad's favorite book.
You can have it.
I'm finished.
I gave this book to Sue
the day I left for Vietnam.
( laughs )

- Woman: Hello.
It's Mother.
Oh, I'm afraid I'm gonna
be late again tonight, honey,
so just go ahead
and eat something.
Mother: I put one of my suitcases on

She's picking you up
at the airport.
Why can't I just stay here?
The subject is closed.
I don't even knowher,
and you don't even like her.
I like her.
We are just different.
I don't Want to go

When are you gonna stop telling me
What I can and can't do?
When you growup.
I Would if you'd let me.

to pull you in, baby ?
? I let you lead your life ?
? And I lead mine ?

? Live sweet,
but right on beat ?
? I said, let's go and see ?
? I Want you
to meet my other side ?
? I make him hot ?

( vocalizing )
I can't believe
We're leaving this.
- Believe it.
- Wait, dude.
You're still mad I snaked
your last arrow.
( chuckles )
Dude, I'm freakin' serious.
Hey, We can't leave.
It's still going off.
I gotta go to Work.
Come on.
- Stop being immature, Jeffrey.
- You're immature, Daniel.
- ( engine starts )
- Today, please, I'm late.
- Shut it.
- You shut it.
- ( gears grind )
- Dude, I could Walk faster.
Don't bag on my Wheels.
- She just needs a newtranny.
- She needs more than that.
- Shut up.
- You shut up.
It's a piece of junk.
- You're gonna hurt her feelings.
- I don't care.
- Wait for the cars, Daniel.
- I'm Waiting for the cars.
Jeff:
Flood her. Good.
Danny:
I flood her like a champion.
Jeff:
I think you need a less sensitive car.
Danny:
I think you need a less sensitive face.
- I think you need a less sensitive--
- Danny: Shut it.
Howmany did you
say Were left on this?
- Near 70 kinds.
- Okay.
( shop bell rings )
- Surf must have been good.
- Sorry.

at the airport tomorrow.
You Wanna come?
You mean if there's no surf?
Sure.
I haven't seen her in years.
I don't remember What it's like
to be 17.
Me, neither.
Sorry I Was late.
Mm-hmm.
Hey, you Wanna cover

Why?
Picking up Sue's granddaughter
at the airport.
Sue has a granddaughter?
- Yep.
- Weird.
Girl:
I know.
Oh, my God.
You've grown up.
- You look just like--
- My father?
Yeah.
Your father.
Nice suitcase.
It's my mother's.
Nicole, this is Kayla.
She manages my surf shop.
Hey, Nic.
Welcome to Santa Cruz.
Thanks.
Well, let's get you home
and settled in.
Sue:
Come on.
You guys have fun, okay?
Do you remember this place?
This is Where my father grewup.
( knocks on door )
Do you mind if I come in?
No.
Your mom said you Were
a champion swimmer
and obviously
quite a reader, too.
Look what I found.
You and your dad rode
this Wave all the Way in together.
Do you remember that?
I don't remember doing that.
Well, you Were just a natural.
He Was so proud of you.
Your mother Was, too.
She said there's a pool
at the university.
Uh-huh.
But you got the Whole
Pacific Ocean out there.
I need a pool.
For swim practice.
Of course you do.
( machine Whirring )
( knocks )
( machine powers down )
Howwas it?
Overhead.
Packed.
Summer's here.
Did you know Sue
had a granddaughter?
Yeah, Ricky's kid.
Who's Ricky?
He Was my best friend.
We Were real close,
like you and Danny.
You guys gonna take that trip
or What?
Danny's car needs
a newtransmission.
I wish I could help you guys out.
Why don't you take some
of that money you've been saving,
buy yourself a car that runs?
Little graduation present
for yourself.
It's not for that.
That Watch your mom gave you.
That's Worth something.
You can sell it.
That was her dad's watch.
So?
Go find some
uncrowded Waves, man.
You only live once.
I'd go surfing.
I knowyou Would, Dad.
I don't knowyou.
What do you Wanna know?
How come you never got married?
The short answer for now,
bad timing.
Anything else
you Wanna know?
I don't knowWhat to call you.
You can call me Sue.
( knocks )
Can l--
If you leave this door open
and that Window,
you're gonna get
a great ocean breeze.
I prefer the privacy.
What Would you like
to do tomorrow?
I have swim practice
in the morning,
and then I have to read.
You know, Nicole,
summer Will be over
before you knowit.
Sometimes you
just have to dive in
or life passes you by.
Is that what happened to you?
Maybe.
- Good night.
- Good night.
( girl laughs )
( girl screams )
( screaming )
( groans )
( dog barking )
( stammers )
Sorry. I sawa light.
That's okay.
I had almost forgotten
about all this.
Somebody could live in here.
The Whole summer long.
You Wanna see something?
My old bikini.
( laughs )
Latest style at the time.
So Who does this belong to?
- Jimmy.
- Who's Jimmy?
Jimmy Was your grandfather.
- He Was a surfer?
- Yeah.
So What happened to him?
He Was drafted and sent away
to fight in the War in Vietnam.
"Beautiful Wave"?
Sue:
His favorite place.
Where is it?
I don't know.
It might have been more
of a state of mind
than an actual place.
Jimmy used to say
that he thought
the universe
Was made of Waves.
Waves connect everything.
He just thought
that the Whole thing
Was one beautiful Wave.
You know,
Jimmy never knew
that he had a son.
You never told him?
I didn't knowthat
I was pregnant when he left.
And I didn't Want him
to Worry about me.
I just Wanted him
to come home in one piece.
His letters stopped coming,
and then my letters
started coming back.
I never had a chance
to tell him.
Jimmy gave me this
before he left.
I Want you to take it.
It's a sea turtle.
I think I'm gonna sell it.
I promised your father
that it Would be his one day,
but I couldn't let go of it.
Hello?
Hello?
Kayla:
Hey, What's up?
Sorry, the door Was open.
Yeah, it's always open.
Sue Wanted me
to bring these to you.
Great.
You've been a lot of places.
I left home when I was 13.
Yeah, it Was a bad scene.
You know, if it Wasn't for Sue,
I wouldn't be here.
She never told me anything
about this.
( blows )
My grandfather used
to live in here.
It's so cool.
- Kayla: Whoa!
- What?
It's an old surf map of Baja.
Look, it goes all the Way down
to the tip.
Past Cabo.
Check it out.
"Ola Linda."
Ola Linda?
Beautiful Wave.
Beautiful Wave? But Sue said
that Wasn't a real place.
Well, it's on the map.
It must be.
I Want to go there.
First of all,
it's in another country.
I mean, it's 1,700 miles away
from here.
And second of all
and most importantly,
Sue Would never let you go.
- Nicole: What if We Went together?
- I Wish.
Ooh! The early '60s,
ancient.
Sue:
Hey, I'm not that old.
Check out the old surf posters
and the classic log--
- Dude, it's an Olson.
- Yep.
What's an Olson?
The '60s, dude.
Early Santa Cruz shaper.
The '60s, dude.
Greg Noll, Miki Dora,
the '60s, dude.
Yeah, yeah, yeah,
really cool old stuff, brah.
- So What do you think?
- Newhead gasket,
fluid, lube, plugs, tires.
I can do it for you,
for a price.
How about enough
to cover a new tranny?
Done.
Sue:
You guys Wanna stay for dinner?
- Thanks.
- But no thanks.
'Cause We're gonna hit
the lane before it gets dark.
Yeah, but thanks.
Sue:
Okay.
So Why didn't you
ever look for Jimmy?
I tried to find out When
and Where he landed,
but the Army Wouldn't tell me
because we weren't married.
So Kayla and I Wanna
take a surf trip
to Malibu.
Really?
Just the two of you?
Hmm.
I stood here
for hours...
after he drowned.
Her mother told me
that she hasn't been in the ocean
since it happened.
Dude, hand me
the grease gun.
Oh, my God.
It's beautiful.
How much you Want for it?
You Want it?
I don't know.
How much do you think it's Worth?
Actually, it's not for sale.
Nic wants it.
Don't you, Nic?
Is that true, Nicole?
Um...
- Yeah.
- Sue: Well, that's a surprise.
I had no idea
you'd Want it.
It's hers now. She can do
Whatever she Wants With it.
I'll see you back
at the surf shop.
Kayla, it's just gonna sit here.
Actually, it's not.
Nic and I are gonna go
on a little surf trip of our own.
Find some good Waves
and some cute guys,
but if you're nice, maybe We'll
consider a deal When We get back.
- Where should I put these?
- No, you don't.
I have to read 'em all
by the end of summer.
One.
Just one.
More food?
- Please.
- Okay.
( laughs )
Kayla:
Check out the surf. Ha ha!
Cannot Wait to get you
in the Water.
Okay, put this on. I'll help you
get your board in the Water.
I don't really feel like it.
Come on, let's get in the Water.
Okay,
I'm gonna let you slide this time.
( sighs )
( gasps )
Kayla:
Finish your book?
It's not the kind you finish.
It's philosophy.
Makes you think.
You know, I think
you should think twice
about Wearing
that bathing suit again.
I mean, unless it's
for a swim meet.
I'm kidding.
I think it's really cool you got
in the Water today.
Even if it Was only up
to your ankles.
( laughing )
Let's put her down here.
( speaking Spanish )
Okay, it's good. Okay.
Let's let it go.
( speaking Spanish )
I knew she Was going
to those islands.
Bueno.
S.
- Caf?
- S, con azcar.
Okay.
Danny: Let me show you how
to drive this car.
- Jeff: Okay.
- It goes quickly.
( car sputtering )
She's a beast.
I need to learn how to drive this car
because it's apparently so awesome.
- Danny: Shut up.
- Well, it is. It is awesome, right?
- ( engine clanks )
- What Was that?
Damn it!
I thought you put
the new tranny in.
I did.

- Dinosaur music.
- Kayla: Right?
Nic, What do you think?
Sue listens to this.
- Danny: Totally.
- ( laughing )
? 'Cause your daddy made it clear
that's a rule ?
? Her dad says that's a rule ?
? Finally, you and me ?
? Alone in my car ?
? We headed to your house ?
? And We pulled
into the driveway to park ?
? We pulled in just to park ?
? Your daddy's car is gone ?
? No one's home
'cause the Windows are dark ?
? Things happen afterdark ?
? Finally, you and me ?
? Alone in my car ?
? With your head
on my shoulder ?
? Nothing more
could be better than this ?
? Better than this ?
? Then you look in my eyes ?
? And We lean close together
to kiss ?
? Then a car pulls up behind us... ?
- ( camera shutter clicks )
- ? The bright lights really blind us ?
? And before a thing
has happened, We stop ?
? Your daddy
jumped up screaming ?
? And I think I must be dreaming ?
? 'Cause he's even brought
a couple of cops ?
? Someone called the cops ?
? We both try to tell them
that he really had nothing to fear ?
? Nothing, nothing,
nothing to fear. ?
Danny: Refugio?
There are never any Waves here.
Jeff: Dude, you've never
even been to Refugio.
- Kayla: Blown out.
- Danny: Told you.
- Let's go to Rincon.
- Jeff: I gotta get Wet first.
Where you from again?
New York.
Big city girl.
Parents must have
the big bucks, huh?
You Want some?
Life's a lot easier
When you let go.
Of What?
Whatever's holding you back.
Danny: Rincon Will have Waves.
Old Rincon never lets me down.
Jeff:
Dude, What are you talking about?
You've never
even been to Rincon.
- Danny: Shut it.
- You shut it.
- Danny: You shut it.
- You shut it.
- Shut it.

Danny:
Heavy vibe.
Kayla:
Easy, dude.
You're not on home ground.

from the World for a While ?
? Gonna pack our bags ?
?Gonna count down the miles?
? Gonna Watch the sand
Wash over your feet ?
? Gonna Watch you dance
in the middle of the street ?
? And When I'm feeling
all the fears I'm feeling ?
? When the sky's ?
? Justanotherbig ceiling?
? When I Wanna leave the noise
of the city ?
? Pay attention
'cause you sure look pretty ?
? Girl, it ain't right ?
? That we can't find the time ?
? Just to let it pass by ?
? We spend all of our lives
holding on ?
? 'Cause We can't let go ?
? We spend all of our time ?
? But we've got nothing to show?
? For it's just another day,
another Way ?
? Another chance
to make us pay ?
? But I've been thinking
about that little doubt ?
? That's telling me
We can still be free ?
? So if I may ?
? Let's take a break
from the World for a While ?
? Gonna pack our bags ?
? Gonna count down the miles?
? Gonna Watch the sand
Wash over your feet ?
? Gonna help you dance
in the middle of the street ?
? And When I'm feeling
all the fears I'm feeling. ?
( birds squawking )
( heart beating )
( gasping )
( coughing )
Kayla:
Grab my board.
You okay? Hold on.
( coughing )
? Oh, how did I ever get
to be so lonely, babe... ?
Mmmm!
All those nectar Bettys.
Whoo!
Dude, I'm in love.
Delicious hot bodies everywhere!
? How could I have ever
led you on? ?
? Do like you do ?
? For the life of me
I couldn't say... ?
Catch you later.
Danny: Is she going to stay
in the van and read all day?
She doesn't surf, dude.
What do you Want her to do?
Get a life.
If you leave, lock up
and put the key
on the back tire, okay?
? Easy for yourself,
you made it so ?
? You made it so ?
? You made it so ?
? You made it so ?
? Baby, you just flewaway ?
? Back to your favorite place ?
? By now you're laughing
With people ?
?That I've never seen?
? You know,
We give and receive ?
? We always get what we need ?
? We always
get what we need ?
? Yeah! ?
? Oh, the millions of our time ?
? You could have called ?
? Maybe I Would not
have known you ?
? Oh, but it really wasn't ?
? In my mind ?
? To see you gone ?
? It Wasn't in my mind
to see you gone ?
? To see you gone. ?
( sighs )
- Don't look at me like that.
- Why not?
Where are your Ugg boots?
- Hey, What's up?
- Do you have the key to the van?
I'll be right back.
The van's occupied.
You know What I mean?
Jeff's With a girl.
Give him a break, yeah?
You ladies Wanna
check out my van?
There's extra Ugg boots.
- You can have 'em. I swear.
- ( laughs )
( Daniel and girls laughing )
- ( knocks )
- Uh-oh. Dad's home.
Who's that?
Who's that?
Huh? It's Dad.
- Shh. Don't make him angry.
- Danny, open up.
- Sounds angry.
- Jeff: Dude!
- I'll see you ladies later?
- Okay.
Cool van.
Who's your friend?
- He's not available.
- That's a shame.
- Mm-hmm.
- Girl: See you around, Danny.
- Bye.
- Jeff: Where's Nic?
Nic?
Knick knack paddy Whack,
give a dog a bone.
Forget it. I'll find her.
Whickity-Whip out that fat sack
and roll a meano.
Nothing?
Hey, What are you doing here?
Are you finished yet?
Yeah.
Where's Kayla?
I can't believe you Went out
by yourself.
I thought Kayla Was
gonna teach you to surf.
Yeah, Well,
I haven't seen her all day.
- Let me help you.
- I can do it myself.
Danny:
? Knick knack paddy Whack. ?
- Danny: Nic. Nic, Nic, Nic, Nic.
- Shut up.
Hey, Where are you going?
Where you going?
- To change.
- Use the van.
Dude, she needs some privacy.
Hey, What are you doing?
Leave her alone.
She looks different.
Kind of hot in her little outfit, huh?
- Jeff: What's your problem?
- Dude.
If you're interested,
then stake your claim.
- If not, then step aside, 'cause--
- You're crazy.
Whoa. He's just pissed
'cause he didn't get any action.
Two, dude, count 'em.
One, two.
- Go get some food.
- Okay. Don't cry While I'm gone.
I'll be back.
Jeff:
Did I do something?
Nicole:
You don't know?
What did Danny say?
That you Were in the van
With a girl.
Danny doesn't mean it.
Mean what?
Anything stupid he says
or does.
- ( snoring )
- ( laughing )
You Wanna talk?
We could move over there.
Okay.
Thanks.
So...
how do you like surfing?
It's okay.
I mean, if you can stay
on long enough.
Yeah.
My dad said that our dads Were
best friends When they Were kids.
It's weird.
They learned to surf together.
He didn't tell you?
My--
my dad died when I was 12.
He died?
How?
He--
he drowned trying
to save someone.
I'm sorry.
You told her I was in the van
With a girl?
Why do you care what she thinks?
She's not even part of the dream.
Just stick with the original plan, man.
Just ignore her.
- What's your problem, man?
- You are, dude.
You are.
? Why are you worried
about things ?
? You can't control? ?
? Is the glass half empty?
? Or is it half full? ?
? She said you're breathing,
aren't you? ?
? You're breathing,
aren't you? ?
? I knowI'm breathing?
? But to me
it's not the same anymore ?
? I know I'm breathing?
? But to me
it's not the same anymore ?
? Well, let me hold your hand?
? So I can understand?
?Yeah, it will come around?
? I'm giving myself
the run around ?
? She said ?
? Like an orphan ?
? I'm paying with no love
left to steal ?
? You slipped away,
but you're okay ?
? You got your way ?
? And I'm not
and I'm beating myself up ?
? From the inside out?
? She said you're breathing ?
? Aren't you? ?
? You're breathing,
aren't you? ?
? I knowI'm breathing, but to me
it's not the same anymore ?
? Let me hold your hand ?
? So I can understand ?
? Yeah, it will come around ?
? I'm giving myself
the runaround ?
? She said, she said. ?
Nicole:
Maybe they can come with us.
You know we'll have to pay
for food and gas.
I want them to come.
You mean you want him
to come.
- Kayla: Baja.
- Jeff: The way it used to be.
He's written the best tide wind
and swell direction for every break.
Jeff: When were you gonna
tell us about this, Kayla?
When I was ready.
It's 1,000 miles south.
Jeff:
It's a long way.
She wants to go, dude.
Why do you wanna go there?
Kayla:
'Cause...
Jimmy surfed there.
( Whispers )
Let's go.
Danny: Mexico! where they speak
the language of love.
Oh-ho-ho!
Jeff:
You got a "D" in Spanish, dude.
So? I passed.
That's all that counts.
Jeff:
Till you have to use it.
? I'll just scream a little better ?
? And hope that something sticks ?
? What a mess, you couldn't fit ?
? lnto your little box
of matches ?
? You got something to say ?
? Anything worth while at all ?
? You lost your umbrella ?
? It's not raining atall ?
? What hole have you been in ?
? You didn't see this coming? ?
? What hole have you been in ?
?You didn't see this coming? ?
? What hole have you been in ?
? You didn't see this coming? ?
? What hole have you been in ?
?You didn't see this coming? ?
? If everyone is walking ?
? Why aren't you
the one who's running? ?
? Why don't you believe that
When you close your eyes at night ?
? Just might be the last time? ?
? It might be the last time
and you'll never ?
? You'll never wake up here again... ?
I wanna learn how
to drive my van.
? Good things come
to those who don't wait ?
? Never mind that there's
no bail left to take ?
? As you run your mouth
into the ground ?
? You are windowpast ?
? Talk about the abuse,
you divide and you conquer ?
? You're wearing
two different shoes... ?
Danny:
Okay, first is high and back.
Second is down and forward.
Third is lowand back.
Just give it a little gas
and let the clutch out slowly.
- Just--
- ( gears grind )
- Not like that.
- ( laughs )
? Why don't you believe that
When you close your eyes at night ?
? Just might be the last time? ?
( clears throat )
( laughs )
Danny:
All right.
What's that?
What's that?
Uh-oh.
Soldiers with guns, dude.
They're looking for drugs.
Good thing you got rid of yours.
Mm-hmm.
Slowdown.
Clutch in. Clutch in.
Clutch in. Clutch-- clutch in.
- Clutch in.
- Nicole: Stop.
( gears grind )
You just flunked
your driving test.
Pasaportes.
No pasaportes.
- ( bangs van )
- ( speaks Spanish )
He wants the van over there.
Let me drive. Come on.
( engine starts )
( speaking Spanish )
Kayla:
Everyone out of the van now.
( speaking Spanish )
( Kayla speaking Spanish )
( speaking Spanish )
Seor.
- Gracias.
- De nada.
( speaking Spanish )
- What did he say?
- He said it's hot.
Cool. Ask him if we can have
the van back, then, yeah?
Shut it, Danny.
( speaking Spanish )
- What?
- He asked if you'd like to go to jail.
( speaking Spanish )
"Corre" means "go."
- Okay, guys get in the van. Go.
- Corre. Corre.
( speaks Spanish )
The beaches at night
are full of poachers.
Nejos are very dangerous men.
Gracias, Capitn.
- ( engine starts )
- ( speaks Spanish )
I knew it.
They stole my stash.
Nicole:
I threwit out.
You what?
It was an entire eighth!
Dude, she saved our ass.
Agh!
Stupid!
You are such a moron.
Do you realize what would happen
if they caught us with that?
Loser.
Danny:
I'm in the wrong dream.
( speaking Spanish )
They won't get these, amigo.
( grunts )
Mira, mira.
Danny: Dude, where's the water?
I have to get wet.
- Jeff: we're almost there. Shut it.
- You shut it.
- You shut it.
- Danny: Pay attention to the road!
- I am paying attention.
- There's chupacabra in Mexico.
- There's no such thing as chupacabra.
- Yes, there are. They're vampire dogs.
Jeff:
Vampire dogs.
Nicole:
Howfar to Cabo?
Jeff:
We're half way there.
- Danny: So now where are We?
- Jeff: Alejandros.
? Oh, what a day ?
? Who's your rabbit?
Where's your rabbit? ?
? Is she high ?
She's driving me mad ?
? I love this time of year ?
? Oh, Dad, everybody's making
promises to themselves ?
? And other people ?
? It's so encouraging
to be yourself ?
? Reevaluate
and sell yourself over ?
? Yes, yes,
We both need to know?
? But I still know,
yes, I still know?
? When you're around,
When you're around ?
? There's slippery waves
but we're riding tall ?
? And just pretend,
yes, we pretend ?
? That no one sees us at all ?
? That no one
sees us at all. ?
You ate all the fish.
I didn't get anything.
I wanted the worm.
- You can't have the worm.
- Clearly I can't now.
I'm going to bed.
- ( coughs )
- Shut up.
You shut up.
( laughs )
- Danny: Hey!
- Shh!
She's--
- She's on my bag, dude.
- Shh!
She's trying to tell me something.
Just do me a favor and step back.
- Dude.
- What?
- She's off-limits.
- ( laughs )
- What did you say?
- You heard me.
Like you got anything
to say about it.
- What are you doing?!
- Come on, it's cold out here.
- ( ripping )
- Dude, it's my favorite shirt!
- Stay away from her! You hear me?
- ( Daniel winces )
I hear you.
Get off of me!
Growup!
Both of you.
She doesn't care
about either of us. Get it?
All she cares about
is some dead guy's map.
Hey, where'd you come from?
Me?
I mean, you're gorgeous.
- Thanks.
- Maybe I'll see you around, okay?
Kayla:
What is wrong with everyone?
Maybe we should just
head back tomorrow morning.
We can't.
We're not even half way.
Kayla:
Half way?
Jimmy's map goes as far
as someplace
called Cabo San Lucas.
Do you guys have anything
to contribute at all?
I don't care.
It's kind of like one
of my dad's books.
And you wanna finish it.
Look, it's your van,
and if you wanna go,
Iet's go.
Dude.
My bad.
We cool?
Stay back and we'll be cool.
Sorry about your shirt.
It's all right.
I like it better
like this anyway.
It makes me look rad.
( laughs )
Think any of Jimmy's spots
are still pure?
Further from the border we get,
the better the chances.
- Mira, Jimmy.
- I see.
Nejos.
( insects buzzing )
Oh, God.
Jimmy: This is the first time
they ever hit our beach.
- SS.
- Rafael.
You have to embrace
the enemy.
Look them in the eyes
until you see yourself,
and then you start talking.
( speaking Spanish )
( speaks Spanish )
( speaks Spanish )
Mi hermano.
Nobody does nothing.
( speaks Spanish )
Nobody cares.
They never do
until it's too late.
What?
Never mind.
Never mind?
I was just thinking
how different you are
from then.
- Different?
- Yeah.
More beautiful.
Nicole:
When I first saw you,
I wanted to do that.
- ( people shouting )
- ( laughing )
Danny:
Cabo!
Oh, my God,
I love this place.
Danny:
It's Squid Roe, dude.
Jeff: Dude, shut it.
They're sleeping.
Danny: Dude, check it.
It's like we're in Shanghai. Hyah!
Jeff: Do you even know
Where Shanghai is?
I've got to sleep.
I've been driving all day.
Danny:
Sleep? weak.
- Yes, dude, sleep.
- Party time!
- Go to sleep, then.
- I will.
- Danny: woman.
- You're a woman.
Your face is a woman.
- ( people shouting )
- ( music playing )
Where are we?
Check out the Heaven Bar.
We're legal down here, bro.
Jeff: It's 11 :00.
We should find a place to camp.
Well, you can stay here
if you want.
Just one beer, dude.
They won't even know we're gone.
( rock music playing )
Hi there.
Hoo-hoo!
( speaks Spanish )
That guy, yep. Awesome.
Thank you.
Mexico, dude.
Hey, Nic.
Lock the doors
behind me, okay?
- Dude.
- What?
Kayla.
Ooh.
( urinating )
- ( moans )
- ( bottle shatters )
Look, there's a girl inside.
You wanna party with us?
- Hey, come on, open up.
- Yeah, open up. Let us in.
Hey, this looks like
a real love machine.
Yeah, oh, yeah.
We're just joking around.
We wanna party with you.
- I said open up.
- Kayla: Get off the van now!
Now.
- Uh-oh.
- She looks mad. Real mad.
- And hot.
- Loser.
You guys handle the one inside.
This one's for me.
I said get lost.
Or what?
Hey, come here. Hey!
Fucking kooks!
Go back to Texas!
- Your girlfriend's a lesbo bitch!
- Yeah, so's our boyfriend.
- I just peed on your van.
- Let's go.
You okay?
How could you leave us
there like that? Asleep?
We thought
you'd be safe in the van.
Everything's cool. Calm down.
Don't tell me to calm down.
- Where'd you get that?
- Girl in the bar.
- You can go to jail for that.
- I don't care, dude.
- My nerves are shot.
- It's my van.
Get rid of it, Danny.
Kayla:
You heard what she said.
Get rid of it
or we're going back.
- Put it out, dude.
- Kayla: Now!
( tapping )
Hey, Nic.
Danny and I are sorry
We ditched you.
Aren'twe, Danny?
We know we're only here
'cause you guys let us come along.
Danny:
Yeah, thanks.
You're welcome.
I think we should check out
one last spot before we head back.
Sorry, dude,
this trip is over.
It's the last spot
on Jimmy's map.
Nic should at least see it.
Kayla:
What's it called?
"Ola Linda, 40 miles east."
Kayla:
"Ola" means Wave.
"Linda" means beautiful.
Beautiful Wave.
( sighs )
It Was Jimmy's favorite place.
That map is 50 years old, Nic.
So don't be surprised
if they built a resort there.
Who are these guys?
Look like gangbangers.
Kayla: Slowdown, Jeff.
They're nejos.
- Nicole: what are nejos?
- Poachers.
They're really dangerous.
My magic eight ball
says that Ola Linda
is right around the corner.
Kayla: If we don't find it by tomorrow,
We gotta go home.
- What's the rush?
- Some of us have jobs.
- Jobs.
- I'll be back.
- Where you going?
- I have to pee.
- I'll go with you.
- Danny: Don't get lost.
I'm really sorry, Nic.
I'll never leave you like that again.
I promise.
I believe you.
Nowstay here.
Jeff!
( speaks Spanish )
What's up?
( gunfire )
- Come on!
- Go! Go! Go!
- Get in the van.
- Move!
- They've got guns.
- ( gunfire )
- Kayla: Come on, get in.
- Jeff: Get in.
( gunfire )
I can't believe they shot at us.
We are out of here
at the first sign of light.
I'm sorry I asked you guys
to come here.
We all wanted to come.
( girl laughing )
( screaming )
We made it.
( beeping )
( speaking Spanish )
An Olsen?
Yeah.
Is that your van
right there?
It belonged
to my grandfather.
My grandmother
gave it to me.
Sue.
Who's that?
Jeff:
Jimmy.
Come on, you guys.
Kayla:
Let's give 'em some space.
I can't believe she kept this
after all these years.
She kept all your letters, too.
And she wore this.
You know...
I'm not the same person
your grandmother fell in love With.
We were very young
When we met.
She wouldn't recognize me.
I recognized you.
You look just like my dad.
Where is your dad?
He died.
He drowned...
saving me.
Jimmy:
I'm sorry.
It's my dad's favorite book.
You can have it.
I'm finished.
I gave this book to Sue
the day I left for Vietnam.
( laughs )
