I've got my phone, my portable WiFi,
my laptop, my tablet, and my second phone,
ALL switched off.
Ah!
Weekend!
Wow, you brought all that stuff with you?
Of course!
We're here for a week.
So on Monday, I'll be able to set up a temporary office
and get a head start on my work for next week.
Anyway, now that we've got time to relax,
you should read that book on stocks and investing that I brought for you
I'm going to get a brewskie.
I'll be right back.
Okay.
Anyway,
the reason I'm asking is because
I've seen you come out here on the grass a few times and I'm just wondering what it is that you're looking for.
I've noticed that the sand at the beach is a little bit darker.
Is that because it's near the river?
Does your family live near the river?
How cool would it be if we took the boat out
onto the lake,
and opened a portal to another dimension?
Yeah, I've always thought it would be a cool super power to be able to open portals, jump around, you know?
Aw, we probably wouldn't be able to take the boat out today;
it's a bit too windy.
What?
Yeah, the wind is too strong and the boat is too small.
Oh, the boat's a metaphor.
Yeah.
A metaphor?
Yeah, they boat we're talking about isn't real.
But...
we have a boat.
Yeah but this one's not real.
Yeah but what is real though, really?
Ah that is a good point; I think that very often
and always.
Hi, how are you?
Good thanks!
Gosh it's a nice day.
Can I hang out with you guys?
Aren't those your friends over there?
Oh! No I'm done with them!
Cool.
Ah.
Rain.
How good.
Hey, why don't you come read outside with us?
It's a beautiful sunny day, y'know,
Us?
Your friends;
we all came on holiday with each other.
It'll be good for you. You'll get some vitamin D; it'll be good.
It'll be fun. I'll see you out there.
Okay.
Hey! Wh-what are you doing? Where are you going?
Yeah I might just...
go home.
What are you doing?
Aren't we walking to the restaurant?
Where are the others?
Aaaaah...
they're over there...
making decisions.
Logistics!
Plans!
Proximity!
Value for money!
Guys I already emailed you the itinerary for this week.
Oi, you wanna go for a swim?
There's a swimming pool right there.
Nah. That water's for the weak. This is where it's at.
Oh! Is that a crocodile?!?!
Nah, this is a duck, man!
Oi, do you want a friend?!
Want some coffee?
This my turf, bro.
Yeah, you better run.
Yeah, get in the water.
Oi what? Oi what? Oi what?
I wonder how many people have walked along this beach,
and touched this sand,
and shared precious moments together.
With each set of footprints I pass, I can't help but wonder,
who trod here?
What are their stories?
Maybe this beach is the afternoon home of Dave,
a young paramedic who comes here each evening to wash off the cares of his job.
Maybe those crashing waves remind Debbie of the passionate love she will always have for her kids,
who have grown and moved on.
Ah, the stories the sand and waves could tell us of the lives they've met.
I see you, Dave, Debbie, Trisha, Anthony.
I see you.
I AM you.
And I LOVE you.
Hey! You want to come to the beach?
Oh,
no I'm good, thanks.
Okay.
One might say that the spirit is at its freest on holiday.
Ah, yes,
but to what end?
For work gives us purpose.
And playing our role in society is the right thing to do.
Ah, yes,
but not
at the cost of one's sanity.
Ah yes, but what is sanity,
if not to be used for the good.
Ah yes, but "the good";
what is that?
Let's ask Jack.
Hey, Jack!
Not a chance.
... for freedom is good,
but what is the purpose
unless it's- nup.
Uh, uh,
it's a metaphor...
like,
it's a metaphor.
One might say that the spirit
is it its freest on holidee.
Te is so strange.
Get me more middle-frame this time.
Good joke.
Is there a reason we have to work with these amateurs?
Logistics!
- Plans! - Value for money! - Logistics!
Line.
What are you doing?
What's my line?
Oh yeah.
Stop that!
I see you Dave, Debbie, Trisha, Anthony-
... on the lake,
and opened a portal to another dimension.
Cut.
Yeah, it's not real.
I stole your line.
