How competitive do you have to be
to be competitive?
Normally that's not an issue I worry about,
But with the files coming up,
I keep thinking, I'm I competitive enough,
because I really wanna win?
And to do that, I'm starting to realize,
I have to be more competitive than ever.
A lot more.
- Just in case any of you hadn't noticed,
We're now only two weeks out from finals.
- Wow two weeks.
- Is that all?
- Don't you ever look at the calendar?
Not even my best star is coming up.
Looking at the score board,
you are on the great shape to get the
last four points needed to qualify.
- So provided you pass your exam
and complete the training program,
none of you should have a problem.
- Okay, now we know where we all stand.
Let's go to the beach.
- [Guy] That's when it hit me
like a fully loaded cement.
This was it. The year was almost over.
In just two weeks, I'd have my shadow winning the wild card
my one and only shop.
It never bothered me before,
but for the first time I started looking at the other guys
wondering which was the best surfer.
I mean Charlie's got that clean precise style
straight out of the text book.
And Adam is a real natural.
Always making up his own moves.
But what about me?
What did I have to make me stand out?
- Well done guys, Adam nice waves man.
Bridget, let's spend more on those turns,
we'll push that speed.
Guy, you seem to be unfocused man,
is everything okay?
- No, nothing serious.
Can I ask you a question?
- Sure.
Is there a clique called favorite for the funnels,
I mean out of the dust?
- No. Seriously it's all wide open.
Your surf is so well. There's nothing between us.
- But someone is got a winner on,
I mean what is it , that is gonna give one of us the edge?
- Well, on the case of this level,
things like fitness and techniques,
get taken for granted.
But in my book, As long as the edge is long,
with most commitment to winning.
Along with the most competitive mindset on the day.
- [Guy] So did I have the most commitment to winning?
I wasn't sure I did.
Okay, I wanted to win. I really wanted to win.
But being super competitive had never been my thing.
Maybe that was what I needed to work on for the finals.
- Hey, my lunch, have my bag,
my teeth, make my bed.
- You crossing things off the list.
- Add to mental list. Don't you do that?
- Uh...No, if I made a mental list,
it'd get lost in the mess up here.
- [Guy] Okay, if I was serious
about being more competitive,
there was no time like the present.
(Mood music)
- Yes!
- What?
- I just finished making the bed before you.
That's all.
- But it wasn't a race.
- I know, but I still beat you.
- Ham and salad sandwiches.
- Yep.
- Me too.
(fast paced music)
- I win.
- You win what? Since when was making lunch a contest?
- It's like I mad. So you had to lose.
- What's with Guy today?
- I don't know
but whatever it is, I have a feeling
It's gonna get worse.
- I can't believe we're on this for finals.
- I just wish we didn't have to compete against each other.
It is wrong.
- No, come on. You can still compete and stay friends.
One doesn't rule out the other.
- Yeah. I agree.
- Wait, what the hell is he doing?
- I don't know.
- Guy, is this another one of your unofficial races?
- Might be.
- If it is a race you have to tell us,
otherwise you've gone on for advantage.
- Okay, it's a race. Go!
- Are they running to school?
- Not according to me.
♪I'm on a mission.... ♪
- (high energy music)
- Yes. I am the winner.
- (murmur)
- Says who?
- Says the both of us
He's not our child.
- Yeah. Whatever.
- Ten minutes early, I didn't realize that
you three were so enthusiastic about English.
- Oh...yeah.
Wait, we love it.
- Besides school.
- Excellent.
Then you can put these handouts together for me.
Here you go.
- Where are you going?
- To get myself a coffee. Cheers.
(Bell rings)
- Wait wait wait. The sandwiches.
Are they ready? Come on.
On your marks,
get set,
eat.
- Do you use to see what I see?
- What just got into these guys lately?
- Whatever it is, I don't wanna know.
Let's just keep walking.
- Hey, don't cheat.
- It's nothing.
(high energy music)
- All right,
No more racing for the next seconds at least.
Okay?
- Sure.
- I just wanna know what all this sh*t is about.
Why are you intense on beating us at everything?
- Yeah, I didn't even know he was the competitive type.
- Exactly.
That's my point.
- What is?
- We all seem to be lacking the competitive genes
you guys have.
And I thought with the finals coming up,
I should do something about it.
- Brother, I hate to be the one to break it to you.
You can't grow new genes.
- I know. That's what I thought
that these races could be like form of training
to make up for it.
- Are you serious?
- Well, it's kind of like mind training
to get yourself into like a competitive mind space.
- Either way,
when we get back to the house,
Can we just take a break,
have a friendly game of pool
with no competition whatsoever?
- Okay.
Cool, but first one gets the best skier.
- Aah...
(fast chase music)
- [Guy] Charlie and Adam might have rubbished
the idea at first, but within hours that we ended up to
the mix, suddenly we were competing on everything.
(jovial music)
- minutes, seconds.
- And go!
- [Guy] The funny thing was,
the more I got into this, the more I wondered
if I had that competitive gene all along.
All it made me do was just to be working.
- Go!
- [Guy] Because I was taking into these contests,
like a Dr. Warner. A really competitive Doc.
- The spender
- Oh
- Come on.
- Get it.
- What you got Charles?
- Nothing.
(Loud laughter)
(high energy rock music)
- Hi, what are you doing?
- I was gonna win that.
- As if.
- We need to talk.
- Seriously.
- What is this? An old girl l*nch m*b?
- Then what's your problem?
- The problem is this contest
that you guys are having all day every time.
- Why is that a problem?
- For starters, you've turned the house
into a race course.
- We can't step outside our bedrooms
without being run over.
- Meal times are like feeding at the zoo.
- You did the washing up so fast that nothing is ever clean.
- And you're so busy trying to set the record
for the shortest shower.
You're starting to smell.
- Mmh...really?
- Really.
- Basically you're turning into wild animals.
- And we need it to start now.
- Oh God, this is all your idea in the first place.
- What I don't think you guys understand,
this is my new training program.
- Training program?
- That's right, to get me more competitive
and that's starting to work.
So I'm not gonna stop sorry.
- You mean we just have to live with this?
- No.
I've got a better idea.
Why don't you guys join us?
- Oh yeah. We have no painting races.
- Hold on, Guy's gotta a point here
You are the ones who didn't feel comfortable
competing against friends remember?
- Yeah, this could be just what you need
to get it out of your system.
Think about it.
- Thought about it and the answer is Thanks
But no thanks.
- Suit yourselves, excuse me.
Thank you.
- Now I'm pretty sure we're at match point advantage.
Guy
(high adrenaline music)
- All right. That's it for this morning guys get there
- Thanks for the hair.
- Go!
- Those extra competitions are a bit over the top isn't it?
- It's having a positive effect on training.
They're all pushing themselves each other so hard
the finals are gonna be quite a contest.
- Assuming they live long enough to make the finals.
- Hahaha...well there is always that,
but hey, if they don't,
it's gonna make choosing the winner a lot easier.
(bell rings)
Thank you folks. Now don't forget to take home some
boxes of cookies to sell for the fundraising drive.
There are four packets of cookies per box,
take as many boxes as you think you can sell
up to a maximum of ten.
And don't forget there is a major price
for the student who sells the most boxes.
- Do you really think we're each gonna be able
to sell three boxes?
- I hope carrying back a crazy bunch of two cookies
- Or you can wake up problems.
- Check out the guys.
- You took ten boxes each?
- You're nuts, you'll never sell all that.
- Watch me.
- No. Watch me.
- [Guy] Coz I'm gonna win.
- Not another competition.
- Why don't you girls just join in?
- Somehow I don't think a cookie-selling
competition while I'm prepping for my surfing.
- Yeah. You can count me out.
- Me too
- They just don't get it. Do they?
(mood music)
- The other guys aren't even up yet.
I'm gonna warm for them.
- I don't see how if you all sell ten boxes,
why don't it just be a tie?
- Good point. In that case,
I'll take fifteen.
- But that Guy's stack. That's stealing.
- Well, I'm doing him a favor. Now he only has to sell five.
He's got it easy. Catch you later.
- Hey Charlie, waddup?
- How many boxes did he take?
- Fifteen, he took five of Guy's as well.
- That is cheating.
- I did point that out but I don't think he took much noise
- Yeah. Well, fun . If he wants to play it that way,
Guy too can play it that way.
- You just said that was cheating.
- I know technically it is,
realistically, Guy only had five boxes.
Therefore he couldn't win in the first place.
Not really cheating. Is it?
- Morning Bridget?
- Morning.
- What happened to all my boxes?
- Better ask Adam and Charlie.
- They took them? I can't believe did that.
- Well, I guess that's the problem when winning
is the only thing that matters.
Looks like you don't matter.
- Oh, now I have no cookies.
There is no way I can possibly win.
Unless I think outside the box,
the cookie box that is.
- Mix with two eggs. That's six.
- What is he doing?
- You mean besides destroying the kitchen?
- Yeah.
- Making choc cheap cookies. Lots of them.
- They are legit chocolates, or I will ,
how about you buy a box as a gift for someone?
- I already said no. Twice. Goodbye.
- But it's for a good course sir.
- I said no.
- Ah Men
- You took fifteen too?
- Yeah. Why not?
- It doesn't look like you've sold any.
- How many have you sold?
- Well, I haven't kept count.
- Which means, you haven't actually sold any either.
- Wait. Stay guard. This is my house.
- No way. I saw this first.
- Why are you being so childish?
- You are the one that's being childish.
- Hi, I'm from Blue Water High.
- And so I'm I.
- How would you like to buy a box of these delicious
tasting cookies.
- These delicious tasting cookies
which are even more delicious.
- Exactly the same, but I'll give you % off
- I'll give you % off.
- Stop interrupting me.
- You are the one that is interrupting.
- Thanks a lot men. I couldn't smell the (murmur) there
- Those guys are gonna be seriously sorry
they messed with me.
- Mess is the word, all right?
- This actually smells really good.
- No, don't be so surprised Cassie,
I'll see you later. After I win that prize.
- Well, they look good.
- Oh, they're very disgusting.
- You know what, I think someone has used salt
instead of sugar.
- Cookies, fundraiser cookies
Get them while they're hot and selling quick.
- You smell that freshly baked aroma?
- It's Guy. I thought we took all the cookies.
- We did.
- Then what's he selling?
- Get some cookies guys,
some delicious homemade cookies
- Oh my! He must have made them himself.
- sh*t, we have to sell these factory ones.
- Look at how many sales he's making
he's absolutely k*lling us.
- Last chance guys. Try some homemade delicious cookies.
- Excuse me, can I have my money back?
- Money back? Why?
- Coz these cookies are salty.
- She's right, I want my money back too
- Bingo! I just got lucky.
- Not as lucky as me man.
- [Guy] Probably just a bad bag,
would you like to try these ones?
- No, I don't want any more cookies.
- Excuse me Ma'am,
why not try these genuine Blue Water High cookies?
- Thank God Charlie, these are my customers.
- Not anymore. I'll give you two boxes at the price of one.
- Ignore him. He's a con artist.
- No. This is a genuine idea.
- I want my money back.
- Would you two vow to split it and let me sort this out?
- No. Look.
- Can I have a taste of that? Come on. Do better than that.
- Try for yourselves and see how great they taste.
- Just back off .
- Try mine first, they're delicious.
- Three boxes for the price of one. That's my final offer.
- Give me your address, and I will send you
a whole new bunch.
- Don't listen to them, I'll throw in a free surfing lesson.
- Two free surfing lessons.
- Look, we just want our money back.
- Just try these.
- What's going on here?
- Since when did selling cookies become g*ng warfare?
I've had calls from the principal, the police
and half a dozen citizens about students
pressuring customers, students fighting over customers.
Students selling cookies that aren't even edible.
- We're sorry again.
- Yes Sir, I would
- Look, I don't wanna hear it. All right?
Before you do anything I want you
to personally apologize to every single customer
you've dealt with. Clears?
You know, I really thought this whole competitive thing
would have been useful.
But you guys have taken it way too far.
The only place I wanna see you three competing,
is in the water. Got it?
Good. Get out of here.
- Do you really think that this will stop
all this competition now?
- Probably not. But what can we do better?
- Well, I can think
of something that might take the edge of things.
Might even get them to co-operate a bit.
- Okay guys, listen up.
We've decided to give you a chance to win
those last points you need in one hit.
- How?
- There's going to be a comp this week,
and you're all going to be in it.
- A comp? Isn't that a bit close to the finals?
- Yeah. How are we gonna prepare in time for both?
- You don't need to prepare.
It's not a standing competition.
It's a tag-team event.
- Tag-team surfing?
- That's right and to win it
you need to work together as a team.
(jovial music)
- Okay. This is how it works.
Each team gets thirty minutes in the water.
One surfer goes out on his own,
When they've caught a good wave,
they put up their hand and that wave gets scored.
then you tag your team members
and so on until all three of you finish.
- If your team wins, you'll each get three points
towards the end of your tally.
- Three points? Hang on, we need four to qualify.
- That's right but if you joke up three today,
you're actually guaranteed to play semi-finals .
And scoring one point in the next two weeks got a message?
However, there is a chance
to score all the four points today.
- How?
- We'll reward one point to the person on each team,
who gets the highest scoring wave.
- Or maybe you'll only get the bonus point
if your team wins, so today is about teamwork.
- Okay girls are up first, go girls.
♪let's get it right, ♪
♪ we get it right ♪
♪we won it ♪
(high energy rock music)
- Guys do you realize we're in this together now?
See how the girls are working together as a team
That's what we have to do. Okay?
- You're right.
- Sure thing.
- [Guy] But I knew what they were really thinking.
They were totally focused on that bonus point
for the best wave. And so was I.
- This is it girls, a good team effort
and we're all on the finals.
- The thing is fast,
- With tides and everything out?
- Okay folks. The winners of the girls' team today,
are solo blue.
- Yee!
well done
- Well done girls, it's a dead height for that
high scoring wave, so you can split that
bonus point three ways.
It's not for the matters,
but because you are all as good as in the finals anyway.
- Great stuff girls.
- Yeah. Well done.
- You see what a little teamwork can do?
- Yeah but none of them got the full
bar at this point and I did that.
- No. They opted for three points each,
which is a smart tactic.
- Competitors for the boys event.
Please assemble at the starting line.
- Okay. Who's up first?
- I am. I am. I am.
- Come on boys, it's about teamwork. Remember?
Who is it gonna be?
- Okay. I'll go second.
- Adam?
- All right. You can go first.
- Go Charlie.
(high intense rock music)
- It's this big wave and he still hasn't put
his hand up.
- Come on Charlie.
- He's been in there minutes.
Adam and Guy will have less than nine minutes each.
(hard rock music)
- Yeah.
- Finally,
- Make sure you leave enough time for me, okay?
- Yeah. No worries.
- But sometimes, Even when you have good intentions,
things change. Like the waves for instance
I just couldn't get a taste of mine.
Come on.
Yes! A wave.
If you could call it that.
[Hype Rock Music]
- Come on guy that'll do.
- [Guy] This was t*rture.
I wanted to do the right thing
for Adam but I really wanted that bonus point too.
I had to give it one more shot too.
- There's almost no time left for Adam now.
- Which means only two of them will score.
They'll lose.
- [Guy] At last, a decent wave
Bonus point, here we come.
- Yes
- Thank you.
- Guy,
what I'm I supposed to do with three and a half minutes?
- Thanks a lot mate.
- Sorry.
- Men we've stopped there, haven't we?
The two of us have given Adam no chance.
- Wondered why it was only. We're still in this.
- He's gonna get this first wave
otherwise he'll be out of time.
- Definitely.
(High Intense Music)
(Applause)
- You did it!
- That is gonna be our score for sure.
- You're not gonna be mad?
- Absolutely, you got the bonus point
you led.
- [Guy] Okay.I didn't get the bonus point,
but I can live with that, the three points for winning
as team will still go down very nicely, thanks.
- So, how was that coach?
- Yeah, I wouldn't grin too widely guys.
- What on?
- I'd like to tell you
but Adam forgot to put up his hand when he caught
the last wave.
- Oh, no. You're kidding.
- The judges wouldn't have cared about that.
Would they?
- Rules are rules. So collectively,
you're on the score for two waves.
Which means,
- Don't tell me that we lost.
- You are joking. Ain't you?
- Afraid not.
- You mean we lose two points?
- Spell the gist of it.
- But why?
- Solo blue rules.
If an official complaint is brought against you
by the school, that's the automatic penalty.
We got this from your principal.
You boys really went too far
over the cookie-selling competition.
- But that means we gonna choke up
six points in ten days?
- There is no way we can do that.
- It's not a great prospect I agree.
- All right. It's an impossibility. We're finished.
- Garry and I have had a chat. And we've come up
with a way you can earn the extra points.
- I'm rock and ready boys. It's gonna be tough.
- We don't really have to do seven of these, do we?
- km every night for a week. That's the deal.
- This is going to k*ll us.
- No, it will be the making of you
unless of course you don't want to qualify for the finals.
- We're out we're going. Come on guys,
the sooner we start, the sooner we finish.
- Poor guys. I kinda feel sorry for them.
- You don't actually think this would change the mood.
Do you?
- No.
- No.
- Exactly.
- [Guy] Okay. So now we know that being super competitive,
has it's drawbacks. From now on,
I'll just focus on keeping my head clean
and doing my best. No more stupid competing
about stuff that doesn't matter.
- This is gonna be so boring.
- And there's nothing we can do about it though.
- Well at least let's make it a race.
- What? The whole Km?
- Why not? It'll make it more interesting.
- What are you thinking Guy?
- All right then, catch me if you can.
- You're on.
- [Guy] All right I know I said I won't compete
about stuff that doesn't matter
all I have to do now is work at exactly
which stuff that includes.
I think I'll have to you on that.
