How are you?
Look at you!
Wow!
Hey, you OK?
Yeah, I'm OK,
I gotta ask you something,
Well,
Hello to you too, son,
I'm sorry, but this is very important,
Does it mean that I don't have to fly up to Malibu this year?
Dad, please,
Ok,
Alright, wow!
What is so important that you couldn't ask me over the phone?
Where's the car?
Car! What car?
My car?
You lost your car?
No,
Who's car are you looking for?
I'm looking for my car,
Well, did you look in the driveway?
Why would I look in my driveway?
That's where I always leave my car,
But it's never in my driveway,
what the hell you talking about?
What the hell are you talking about!
I'm talking about the Mustang, dad,
You bought it for me when I was a kid,
Metallic red,
Mustang, I left it here when I went to college, Remember,
Sure, yeah,
She was your first,
I remember,
Ok, great!
Then why do you look like there's a bullet up your ass,
Because I can't believe you came all the way here,
to ask me about a car you owned over 20 years ago,
I mean don't you have something better to do, like,
writing a book?
I'm trying to write a book,
About an idiot who lost his car?
No,
It's about an idiot,
a guy,
looking for something,
OK, OK, Something missing,
You see, he's lost and--
Fiction? Or non-fiction?
Do you know where the car is?
Juice box?
Dad!
I gave the car to Dale,
Now, lower your voice,
You gave my car to somebody!
No,
I gave it to Dale,
You had no use for it up at NYU,
You said so yourself,
-Dale was your best friend-- -Where does he live?
-How about we hop on the bike-- -Where does he live, dad?
That is the 2nd and last time,
you raise your voice at me young man,
Please,
It's important to me dad,
Where does he live?
Same place he's always lived,
Where the hell you going?
To get my car,
Rick, you can't just show up after all these years,
demanding your car back,
I'll offer him cash,
He's still living in that dump, I'm sure he can use it,
Besides, we flatter celebrity by talking to them,
Celebrity!
Oh OK Mr, Clooney, go ahead and take my car,
But you better watch that LA attitude!
It'll get you in trouble,
[casual music]
Excuse me,
Oh, I'm sorry,
-I'm looking for-- -Rick,
Dale!
Well I'd be!
The Rick Gray,
You come all this way just to see old Dale?
How's life amongst the stars?
When's that next book coming out?
-Well, actually I'm here to-- -Hold up, hold up!
Let's do this over a beer,
If I could just ask a question,
oh wait,
Is it these?
Is there a problem with these?
Well, no,
Look man,
It's a long story alright,
But I am still the same old Dale,
So come on!
-I got you buddy! -Ouch!
Look! I'm only in town for a few days man,

On your way?
Oh shit,

-Do you have the car? -Say again?
-The car, do you still have her? -What car?
-My car, -You lost your car?
No!
Then who's car you looking for?
Your car,

That you didn't lose and I don't have,
Yes!

The universe will solve it,
This is true,
So in answer to your query, what,
The "what" in question,

Relax dude,

Well, good luck with that,
Thanks,
I followed your career,
Three time world champ,
It's not bad,
I read all your books,
They're great,
Thanks,
Hey,

-Shop? -Yeah,
Sebastian inlet surf and sport,
Best surf shop on the East Coast,
Well maybe I could stop by,
Alright, I gotta go,
Will you tell Sonny I said hi,
I'll do that,
[casual music]
-Hey, -Hey,
I ran into Sheri,
Oh!
How'd that go?
Awkward,
weird, dunno,
Yeah,
Last time she saw you,
you were leaving this town like your ass was on fire,
Yeah, well I didn't want to end up like some loser,
working in construction,
I work construction,
Paid for this house,
This boat, a few other things,
I,
I didn't mean,,,
I'm just,
I know,
I know, no harm son,
Listen! Why don't you get down here and give your daddy a hand,
Will you,
Grab that three quarter,
[Rick] This one?
Yeah,
[Sonny] Get your hand on that, Hold that,
Watch your fingers,
Like old times, hey,
Hold it, I got it,
What the hell?
Sounds like a water buffalo rapping a cat,
[Dale] Hey!
Anybody home!
-Shit! -Back here,
[Rick] What are you doing?
Hey,
You be nice,
-[Dale] Hey Sonny, -[Sonny] Hey, Dale,
[Dale] How's it hanging,
[Sonny] Good,
[Sonny] Hop on down, can I get you a beer?
[Dale] Oh, hell yeah,
Hey, Rick,
Hey,
How is it?
There you go,
There's Sonny, always prepared,
To old friends,
Knock it off,
He punched me, dad,
-He insulted me, Sonny, -That's cos you didn't tell me,
That's cos you were being a butt monkey!
Hey, I ain't seen or heard from you in years,
and all of a sudden you show up yelling about that car,
How's that supposed to feel?
It's not just a car,
I know that,
I spend the best damn years of my life in that car!
That's great,
-So tell me where she is then? -Damn it, Rick!
Sonny, it's cool,
Look, Rick, I'm sorry but,
I don't know,
After you went off to be famous,
Sheri and Wood, they split too,
I was all alone,
And then this happened,
I couldn't work at first cos of the pain,
and I needed some wheels,
So Sonny offered her up,
I thought it would be the same but,
it wasn't,
It was depressing,
So I got rid of her,
Hell,
I'm sorry but how's I'm suppose to know you'd come back,
looking for her,
You couldn't have,
Dale,
I get it,
Hey, Rick,
I could help you burn,
How about it?
I don't think that's--
It's a great idea,
Four eyes are better than two,
Sure would be great to ride her again, wouldn't it be!
Sure, why not,
Awesome!
Hey, listen, Why don't you guys go out and have some fun,
That's a good idea, I know jut the spot,
I mean, I don't have anything better to do,
Wanna go dad?
Um,
No,
I got a little Kubernita Mosfina coming over for dinner,
She and I could use the space,
-If you get my drift! -Oh damn!
Sonny! Good for you!
A lady?
At your age?
Son, I got enough led in my,
pencil to write war and peace,
And give it a happy ending,
Hot damn, Sonny,
You crack me up,
Do you mean re-write?
[Sonny] I heard that!
What's war and peace?
Seriously?
[upbeat music]
What's a big famous artist,
doing back home looking for your old Stang anyway?
It's a writer thing,
Money isn't everything,
Tell that to a dude that ain't got none,
Beer-enda!
Hey Dale, how you doing?
How you doing darling?
The usual?
Two please,
I don't mean to pry but,
Oh, hey man it's cool,
Here's the deal,
I got what's called,
pseudo angiomatous hyperplasia of the breasts,
It's a condition where tumors develop,
[Rick] Man I'm sorry,
No worries man, they're benign,
Can you have them removed?
Well doc says it's dangerous,
It's best to just leave them be,
Besides man,
it is expensive,
-Here you go boys, -I got this,
Thanks Rick,
Hey, Brenda, I want you to meet my best friend here,
This here is Rick Gray!
[speaking Spanish]
The, Rick Gray!
I gotta tell my boss, he's gonna freak,
Damn! That shit is cool,
What's that like? That kind of thing,
Not as much fun as you think,
Oh please,
Man, you live the life!
You know I could have been famous myself,
Did she say you're Rick Gray?
Rick and I are best friends,
Wow, I've read all your books Mr, Gray,
Spanish House,
Amazing!
Thanks,
That's nice meeting you both,
I heard that you, were from here, is that true?
Oh yeah,
He's from here, we grew up together,
He and I are best friends,
My name is Dale,
Are you actually working on a novel?
I'm just having a drink with a friend,
Hey, can I get an autograph,
Yeah, as soon as I've finished my beer--
I got a pen,
Hey man are you deaf!
Didn't you hear him?
He's having a drink with his best friend,
Cool it!
[Dale] Rick, that shit ain't cool,
Saxlapper don't listen too well,
-What you call me? -You heard!
[Rick] Cool it, please!
What did you say your name was?
Richard,
-Dick! -Will you knock it off,
[Rick] Here you go Richard,
Sorry for my friend here and,
please excuse us,
Sure,
No problem,
Damn it, Dale, That's how law suits start,
Oh come on man, He was being an asshole,
It comes with the territory,
I'm used to it, I don't need any help
Got it!
Yeah! Whatever you say, Rick,
[Rick] I gotta take a leak,
Well man, when you gotta go, you gotta go,
That!
Is Rick Gray right there,
The Rick Gray,
We're best friends,
I'm kind of in his first book,
You see, my name's Dale,
and,
that's about it,
Hey!
That thing's supposed to be hard?
If you don't mind!
Cowboy!
Pardon if I don't shake your hand,
[Rick] Son of a bitch!
Mine was pretty tough,
Surprise! I told you Cowboy!
Come on man, wash your hands, Let's go,
Smell's like Dale's place in here,
So! What are you doing in my bar, brother?
Your bar!
I thought this place was long gone,
[Cowboy] It was,
Then your book came out and made this place famous,
Tourists come in here to party where you did,
Sit where you sat,
All that shit,
Some,
even try,
the barracuda challenge,
sign the wall,
[All] The wall!
Do you still have the wall?
The owner before me covered it with ply wood,
So I tore it off and here it was,
I got pictures of when we signed,
Put yours,
over the bar,
[all laugh]
[Cowboy] Your drunk ass,
Nice right!
This,
is to,
the old days,
The old days!
So!
Why you home, Rick?
Oh, he's looking for his car,
Damn it, Dale, Somebody steal the story of your car?
No,
-I took it! -You stole his car!
No, no fool, Sonny had her, gave her to--
Stop!
Listen,
I came home to find the Mustang,
Which I left and dad had,
and gave to Dale,
You came home,
just to find the Stang!
And I'm gonna help him find it,
Don't ask me why,
I don't give shit, why,
I wanna help too,
Hell, yes!
The three of us back in action again,
Oh man, how about it Rick, come on,
Alright fine, Just keep your voices down,
Done!
We start tomorrow,
I know just the place,
Brenda, another round,
Let's celebrate,
Come on, Yeah!
I can't though guys,
I gotta get home,
What you talking about Rick, You just got here,
I gotta hang with dad a bit,
I wanna do some writing,
You go ahead and stay for a little while longer,
I'll see you guys tomorrow,
Sure,
What's up with him,
That, is a writer thing,
He probably got an idea,
motivated by the searching of his past,
Brought on by,
location and proximity of close friends,
He had alcohol in the mix and the writer just,
takes off,
Shut up!
And the writer takes off, that's some bullshit,
[Dale] That's how it works, I'm telling you,

Why are you being so cold?
Cold!
What did you think,
you could just come back after all these years,
Just, everything would be happy chocolate,
No, I did not think,
happy chocolate,
That's a great line,
Ok Rick, this is not one of your novels,
This is real life,
-What do you want? -I just,,,
I thought I would,
come by and be,
friendly, and you know,
explain why I left the way I did,
Yeah, well maybe you should've done that when it mattered,
I was just a kid, Sheri,
So was I!
I was 19 and you know what! Pain is pain,
It hurts!
And it changes you,
I had my reasons,
Ok,
It was a long time ago, it's fine, I'm sorry,
Can you just go,
cos I have a really big mess to clean up now,
You know that I never stopped thinking about you,
[Sheri] Could you go,
Ok,
If it still matters,
I'm sorry,
[casual music]
[Rick] Where is it?
[Cowboy] It should be up here on the left, After this Rick,
there ain't no other place we can go,
Unless we go State side,
[Rick] Here it is,
[Dale] That's her ain't it!
[Rick] Shit!
I think that's her,
She did her job,
-Hell she even brought us-- -Cowboy!
[Rick] Don't,
[Dale] There's a bumper sticker back here,
It's all faded though, I can't make it out,
[Rick] Shit!
That's it,
Son of a bitch!
[Cowboy] I dunno what you were thinking, Rick,
After all these years,
[Rick] Not this,
Just look,
Look at this,
This is how we end up,
Come on, Rick, Don't be like that,
[Cowboy] Now calm down now,
Sonny gave you the serial numbers right?
Let's have a look and be sure,
You do it,
I can't,
Serial number, serial number,
Damn it!
[Cowboy] God damn it!
We tried!
We really tried!
I'm sorry, Rick,
You don't get me, Rick!
Just like when we were kids,
You always get to me,
And another thing,
It ain't her,
[Rick] What!
Are you serious,
-You for real? -Yeah, have a look,
[Rick] It's not her?
It's not her!
[cheers]
[Cowboy] All right, all right, That's enough,
Oh you big dumb bastard!
Come on let's go!
I need a drink after all this Opera shit!
[Dale] You buying right,
I still think we can fix her up,
[casual music]
[Cowboy] First female to sign the wall,
Sheri, right there,
[Rick] Oh yeah, I know,
[Cowboy] You OK, buddy?
[Rick] Sure, I'm fine,
What do we do now?
[Dale] Hey man, we keep on looking,
[Cowboy] Yeah,
[Brenda] It's for your boss,
It's about the car,
Hello,
Yeah, it is,
What's that,
Really,
Where?
Ok,
Tomorrow it is,
Later,
Well?
Said he bought a Stang in '91 matching,
the description that's in the papers,
[Dale] Alright!
[Rick] What description in the papers?
[Dale] Oh man look, We are famous,
[Rick] Shit!
Dale I don't want this kind of attention,
You should have asked,
[Dale] Oh man, It's all over town anyway,
I don't give a shit if it's all over town,
It's a private thing, Don't you get that!
[Cowboy] Hey! Take it easy, Rick,
What if she's hurt?
[Dale] Hey man, you know what,
I did let her go around that time,
It could be the one,
And the guy read about it in the paper so,
cut Dale here some slack,
[Dale] Man I'm sorry, Rick, I just thought--
[Rick] No, It's alright, I's OK,
I'm sorry,
It's been a long week,
[Cowboy] And now,
It's,
Friday!
[Cowboy] So, you are hanging with us tonight,
You understand,
-Put it in! -Hell yeah, come on, Rick!
Love it!
Who's drinking!
[casual music]
This is great!
Yeah,
Maybe we should call, Sheri?
[Rick] Dale said you joined the Marines,
Dale talks too much,
What was that like?
I made it through OK,
For the rest of my days,
I plan on having a good time,
[Dale] Amen to that!
Speaking of good times,
I grow it myself,
For Jack and Diane here,
What, your bungles got glycome?
No, it relaxes the muscles, butt funk,
L,A, boy,
Give you the honors,
What you looking around for? It's my spot,
Smoke up! Let's go,
Come on, man,
[Dale] Light it up,
[Cowboy] Come on, suck in, suck in, Let's go,
Come on L,A, boy,
[Rick] Take it, take it,
[Cowboy] Come on, come on,
Another round, another round,
Feels like someone's rubbing the inside of my face,
I got a good idea,
This,
Is a special moment,
And should be celebrated,
Proper!
Shrooms!
[Cowboy] Magical mushrooms!
Hell no,
Is that for your chest too?
No, no, no!
These,
are for fun!
I can't get the bag open,
[Cowboy] Too high to open a bag,
Pass them along brother,
My man,
Come on, come on,
[Rick] God!
[all] Cheers!
[Cowboy] See you later,
See you on the other side, my friend,
[cyber music]

It's a bullshit way to relive your youth at my expense,
[Cowboy] Now hold on a second,
[Dale] Yeah! Who's trying to relive their youth?
To hell with this,

[Dale] Dump!
At least here they stab you in the chest,

So why don't you shut up!
-Hey, hey! Both of you shut up, -No man!

He's got the whole world at his feel and he's bitching,
I'm trying to do my job!
Oh, is that what it is, Rick!
Yeah! That's what it is,

To the beach, We're going surfing,

Listen to your father,
Come on! Get dressed,
Thank you, Sonny,
[Sonny] You're welcome, Sheri,
[Sheri] I love the feel on the,
breeze,
and the taste of salt on my skin,
[Rick] I love the feel of embarrassment,
Cos I got my ass kicked in public,
Why are you doing this?
[Sheri] Doing what?
I'm just surfing with an old friend who's,
been hanging out with everybody except for me,
You didn't seem all that interested,
Sorry, I know I acted like a child the other day,
You hurt me, Rick,
So,
the guys tell me you're giving up,
It's a dumb idea,
Yeah, it's just a car,
No, it's not just a car Sheri,
Rick, come on, Talk to me,
A 40 year old guy,
who's searching for his first car,
There's more than just a book here,
What's going on,
I thought that,
if I could find that old car again,
see her again,
drive her again, then I would,
give me back something I lost,
What did you lose?
Butterfly's
Alright,
Butterfly's
Remember the butterfly's in your stomach,
From the last day of school,
Butterfly's before our first kiss,
Falling in love,
I'm all out,
I dunno what happened to make you lose that,
Life doesn't just come along,
You gotta live it,
I carved my name on those waves,
everyday,
I teach others to do the same,
I've been doing it along time,
Every wave is like my first,
[Sheri] I don't think that,
Life stops being exciting,
You stopped being excited by it,
I think though,
Don't think,

Pros are in town,
[all] Hey!
Look who's here,
That's where that writer got to,
[Rick] Hey Cowboy,
-Hey man, I just wanted to say-- -No need,
That was the most entertaining fight I've seen since,
since Tyson bit off Holyfield's ear,
[Rick] Where's Dale?
He's out on the deck getting some air,
Cha Cha's acting up,
[Sheri] When he exerts himself,
his muscles get constricted in his chest,
and it's hard for him to breath
That's why he doesn't surf anymore,
He could have gone pro too,
he had the moves,
Wow,
He tried, Almost drowned,
Damn near killed himself,
Hell, maybe he was even trying too,
He never said anything,
He never does,
Well, I gotta go,
I got two boys attempting the wall tonight,
[all] The wall!
So he got that good?
Yeah, he was about to go on tour,
Great,
Now I feel like an asshole,
Then fix it,
I gotta go to the ladies room,
[Rick] Excuse me ma'am,
I am not a ma'am,
Hey Rick,
How you feeling buddy?
I just took a hit of my special blend so,
I'm coasting,
There's gonna be big waves out tomorrow,
Everyone will be out,
That's what I hear,
I'm gonna hit it myself,
Oh hell,
Wish I could paddle out there with you,
It'll be cool,
Look,
I'm sorry,
For what I said,
And for kicking you,
Likewise,
I didn't mean that shit either,
I guess I'm just a little bit jealous, you know,
Jealous,
Of what?
Oh come on man,
You went off to become all famous,
I stayed back and became the town joke,
[Rick] Dale,
you've taken adversity,
and you've handled it with grace,
And humor,
You're no joke buddy,
You've got balls,
Boobs and a mullet,
You're one brave son of a bitch,
Yeah,
I have embraced the madness,
And I was in the papers,
That's right,
You're famous now,
Listen,
I'd like to take care of Jake and Diana for you,
If you'd let me,
Oh wow, that's awe-full generous of you Rick,
Hell they've been with me for so long I,
I wouldn't know what to do without them,
You sure?
I am,
They are a part of the awesomeness that is Dale Hall,

Taking you away from everything you love the most,
Well when you left you,
you took away everything I love the most,
I would have gone anywhere with you,
Just to see you,
Listen to your beautiful words,
Watch you sleep,
[knocking]
[Dana] Mom why's the door locked?
Hey Dana I,
just decided to sleep in,
[Dana] Hi Mr, Gray!
Sorry I was such a dick the other day,
Dana, nobodies in here with me,
[Dana] Yeah, whatever,
Get out of bed, I wanna go to the beach, There's waves,
[Rick] Thank you dear,
[Dana] Welcome,
[Sheri] Oh my god!
[Dana] Oh my god! Really!
Please, come on,
Take it back inside,
I'm trying to relax,
[Rick] Today was amazing!
I got some awesome material,
I'm ready!
[Sheri] What are you ready for?
To go home,
And I want you and Dana to come with me,
[Dana] Malibu!
No way!
I don't know what to say,
[Dana] Say yes, mom,
Dana it's not that easy,
We have a shop,
Manage it from Malibu,
And a home,
Fine, we'll have two homes,
One for when we visit,
Rick, home is not a place where you just visit,
I have friends here,
My career,
You're a professional beach bum,
you could do that from California,
Oh crap!
Wait! Excuse me,
[Sheri] What did you just say!
I was kidding,
Don't tell me to relax,
How can you just spring this on me right now,
in front of my daughter,
What about all those things you said to me about,
my words and watching me sleep,
Everything that I want, is right here,
And I was hoping by now you would want that too,
Sheri,
I've got it,
Ok,
Now I have to go home and write it,
So all,
of this, is just,
to write a story!
No, but it's what I do,
I'm excited again, I thought that you'd be happy for me,
Your friends,
and your family!
And you and I,
are not just characters,
in one of your stories,
You're still on the outside,
looking in,
[Rick] That is not true,
Why don't you try living what you love,
instead of just writing about it,
Come on, Dana,
[Sheri] Goodbye Sonny,
[Dana] You know what, screw Malibu,
Well, that was quick,
What's your point?
Writers can write from anywhere,
[emotional music]
You sure this is what you want?
I love you dad,
I'm sorry for the drama,
I'll see you in a couple months,
Not unless you come back here,

[stranger] The car, she's awesome,
This made life hard on her,
Bullshit!
All vanity and no soul
Ouch!
I guess if you can afford to have a nice car like this baby,
you can afford to take her for granted,
What! You,
You don't know shit about me,
I don't take anything for granted,
Easy brother,
All I'm saying is,
if you got nice things in life,
be happy,
Hell, I know,
Well,
Gotta go,
Be well, brother,
Hey!

[Rick] Dad!
You home
In the Atlantic Beach,
memorial service for,
Dale Hall,
Three in the afternoon,
Gather round,
gather round,
Thank you for coming,
Hear me, all my children,
As the world turns,
And we search for tomorrow,
We too shall one day,
find ourselves,
at the edge of night,
Be not afraid,
For there,
in those dark shadows,
we will find and follow the,
guiding light,
Which will transcend us to another world,
Yes!
We are the young and the restless,
And,
like sand through an hour glass,
these are the days of our lives,
Apart of us is now gone,
And so,
we commend what is left,
of the physical universe,
To the ebb and flow of the tides,
The cleansing sea,
from which all life came,
For if it's,
got to be clean,
It's got to be,
be the tide,
Amen!
[Cowboy] Preach brother, preach!
Well said!
[Sonny] Jesus Christ,
[Rick] Dad! Cowboy!
What happened?
Nobody called me!
Nobody told me anything,
He was my best friend,
He was my brother,
Now he's gone,
[Dale] Rick!
You showed!
I can hear his voice,
[Sonny] Dear lord!
This is classic!
[Dale] The Rick Gray!

Dale!
You're alive!
Who's in the urn?

Hell, they've been with me for so long!

They're still a little sensitive,
-Are you OK? -Hell yeah!
Minus my nipples, but that's OK,
I can't thank you enough, Rick,
