Mitch Yost's early morning surf is interrupted by two men - one a stranger. |
 |
 |
 |
Mitch rudely dismisses both, but promoter
Linc Stark follows Mitch back to his car. |
 |
 |
 |
Linc hands Mitch a promo tape sent to him
by Mitch's grandson, Shaun. |
 |
 |
 |
While wetting down after his surf, Mitch
experiences a strange sensation. |
 |
 |
 |
Mitch thinks his mind is hallucinating as
his body levitates off the ground. |
 |
 |
 |
Back at their surf shop Mitch watches Shaun's tape and yells at Cissy for letting it happen. |
 |
 |
 |
Ordering Shaun to the back, Mitch forbids Cissy to endorse Shaun's competitive surf at Huntington. |
 |
 |
 |
Cissy shoots a barb back and Mitch tells her he has brain cancer. |
 |
 |
 |
Mitch has retreated to his private clubhouse behind the shop, where Cissy finds him. |
 |
 |
 |
Mitch truly believes he's ill, but Cissy
can't quite understand why. |
 |
 |
 |
Sensing Mitch's despair, Cissy suggests "the healing power of sex." |
 |
 |
 |
Mitch asks Cissy about Shaun's reaction
to Huntington, unaware Cissy let him go. |
 |
 |
 |
Cissy offers to buy a camera to record
the levitations, but moves away when Mitch reaches over |
 |
 |
 |
After Cissy leaves, Mitch cautiously tests
his feet to be sure they're really touching the floor |
 |
 |
 |
Mitch gets a nasty call from Butchie
about letting Shaun surf at Huntington. |
 |
 |
 |
Mitch storms into the motel to fight with
Butchie, but they are interrupted by a gunshot. |
 |
 |
 |
Everybody runs for cover until Bill disarms Barry Cunningham.
|
 |
 |
 |
At the police station Mitch tries to ignore a fawning Meyer Dickinson.
|
 |
 |
 |
Sarcastically thanking him, Mitch moves away quickly to talk to Butchie.
|
 |
 |
 |
Mitch and Butchie compare notes on John.
|
 |
 |
 |
Nodding for privacy, Mitch stumbles out an embarrassed apology to Butchie.
|
 |
 |
 |
After Butchie haltingly reciprocates, Mitch tells his son he has brain cancer.
|
 |
 |
 |
Mitch asks Butchie if he's levitating - the major symptom of his cancer!
|
 |
 |
 |
As they uncomfortably bond, Mitch begins to rise.
|
 |
 |
 |
Both Butchie and Bill have now witnessed the levitations.
|
 |
 |
 |
An oddly forgiving Mitch suggests to Cissy they all "get wet."
|
 |
 |
 |
On the beach Mitch lets Shaun surf, leaving him alone with Cissy.
|
 |
 |
 |
Cissy admits urging Shaun to go to Huntington, even though Mitch "forbade it."
|
 |
 |
 |
Mitch admits he doesn't have cancer - and he still doesn't want to surf publicly.
|
 |
 |
 |
With all its imperfections, Mitch and Cissy Yost face their life and the end of their day.
