When his college dreams are sidelined by family obligations, a young man finds comfort in surfing with his best friend's brother.

Tori: Do you love him?
Zach: Oh, come on.
Tori: Seriously. He's a good guy, Zach. You don't belong to people forever.
Zach: Then why bother?
Tori: Isn't it worth it?
Zach: Yeah.
Zach: Student was bad. Made bad judgment call. Now see truth.
Shaun: Where are you?
Zach: Gettin' warmer... colder... turn around. I'm so sorry.
Shaun: You better be.
Zach: You sent in my application?
Shaun: Yeah... why're you here? What changed?
Zach: I did.
Gabe: So...
Zach: So?
Gabe: Why didn't you tell me?
Zach: Tell you what?
Gabe: I don't care - at all.
Zach: I don't know what you're talking about.
Gabe: Okay. Have you... have you always known?
Zach: Seriously, dude.
Gabe: Okay. The fact that it's my brother is totally weird.
Zach: I know.
Gabe: No, like, really really fucking weird.
Zach: Alright, I got it. I'm sorry.
Gabe: Don't be sorry.
Zach: Don't tell anyone, okay?
Gabe: Okay. So are you going with other guys?
Zach: No!
Gabe: I heard they give better head. They give better head, don't they?
Zach: Dude, stop!
Gabe: They swallow?
Zach: Gabe!
Zach: There's something I really need to tell you.
Tori: I already know. I've known for awhile.
Zach: You're the only reason I wish I wasn't. I've always wanted to be everything to you. I've always dreamed of providing you with everything you ever wanted or needed.
Shaun: [looking through Zach's art portfolio] Wow.
Zach: [trying to grab it away from him] Whoa! What're you doing?
Shaun: Easy, dude, it's OK. I want to look at it.
Zach: Nobody ever looks at that.
Shaun: Wow. Is that Cody?
Zach: Yeah.
Shaun: Sad Cody.
Zach: You could tell?
Shaun: Yeah, and how you darkened it around his head. This is incredible - and there's no toys in his room. Wow - awesome.
Zach: Yeah, he'd just gotten scolded. He was trying to understand why. So he came into my room. He hasn't left yet. It's the only place he could sleep.
Zach: I can't just take whatever I want. My life is not like that.
Shaun: You'll never get what you want unless you take it.
Shaun: You're so beautiful.
Zach: [laughs] Shut up.
Shaun: Hey, learn to take a compliment.
Zach: Thanks.
Zach: I don't think the whole student thing's going to happen right now.
Gabe: Why, 'cause you didn't get into that art institute place? Go somewhere else.
Zach: Art institute place... Whatever, it's alright... Scholarship was my ticket.
Gabe: Well you are the king of scholarships.
Zach: Got me into your richy-rich private school.
Gabe: On the short bus every day.
Zach: [laughing] Rich fuck.
Gabe: [laughing] Fuck you, ghetto trash.
Zach: I can't just take whatever I want. My life is not like that. You'll never get what you want unless you take it.
Zach: Who knew there'd be so much drama inside the gates of Pacific Bluffs? I never knew.
