I press my cutoff.
Man, it's hot.

Looks like a Dunmerit Velasco with a flat coupe.
No, I think it's a Chrysler Mill.
No, I think it's a cutoff.
Hey.
Wait, what'd you make that out of?
We started out with a shopping cart.
How did you get all that shiny metal?
We ran into that guy on the white horse who cleans laundry.
No floorboards.
We sit low, it's the only way we can stop.

want to use our boards.

Yeah, how do you get your waves?
We got our own jacuzzi.

Hey, maybe you guys would like to join our [B] club.
We really turn on, man.
Yeah, a surfing club, huh?
That sounds real cool.
Yeah, what are the dues?
$17.50 a year.
$17 [N].50, what does that include?
Well, to start with, you get an emblem to put on your surfboard,
daily surfing reports,
and a chenille string so you can dry between your toes.
I get it, sort of like dental floss.
You get all that for $14.50?
$17.50.
You're also entitled to one rescue a year.
You mean if I catch a tip and get wiped out in the ocean
I don't even know what that means.
You mean
you mean if I catch a Follow this.

You got to take water with you, [B] man.

Only if you have your membership card with you.
The big ones are starting to roll in.
Come on, let's go.
Okay, let's go.
Grab that, Zack.
Man, it's murder carrying this board.
Yeah, but think how much harder it would be if our heads weren't flat, huh?
