0:00:03 > 0:00:06# They were burning themselves out in the sun

0:00:06 > 0:00:08# Worlds away from anyone

0:00:08 > 0:00:12# They were burning themselves out in the sun

0:00:12 > 0:00:18# There was just enough to get that far away

0:00:19 > 0:00:22# Ooh... #

0:00:33 > 0:00:36'Every now and then, the planets change position,

0:00:36 > 0:00:39'for no good reason, they just do,

0:00:39 > 0:00:41'and suddenly life is simple.

0:00:42 > 0:00:45'It's as if, for once, the whole world is speaking

0:00:45 > 0:00:47'a language you totally understand.

0:00:49 > 0:00:52'After a full-on couple of weeks, I was back in control.

0:00:52 > 0:00:56'No more environment to save, no more girl troubles.

0:00:56 > 0:00:57'No more complications.

0:00:57 > 0:01:01'Take Boof, for example, our arrangement was simple

0:01:01 > 0:01:04'and easy to understand - Boof gave me grief,

0:01:04 > 0:01:05'I out-surfed him.'

0:01:15 > 0:01:19'Yep, the universe had made my life simple again.

0:01:19 > 0:01:24'Unfortunately, it forgot to have a word with my hormones.'

0:01:28 > 0:01:30SIRENS BLARE

0:01:31 > 0:01:33And the Hip! Hop! Hap! Of the clap Of the hands

0:01:33 > 0:01:34To the swirl and the twirl...

0:01:34 > 0:01:39'Do you think my hormones cared I had absolutely no chance of getting

0:01:39 > 0:01:40'back with Vicki Streeton?

0:01:40 > 0:01:43'No, sorry, no listening.'

0:01:43 > 0:01:46To the twirl and the swirl Of the girl gone glancing

0:01:46 > 0:01:48Chancing, dancing Backing and advancing

0:01:48 > 0:01:51Snapping of a clapper to the spin Out and in

0:01:51 > 0:01:54And the Ting, Tong, Tang, of the Guitar.

0:01:54 > 0:01:55GIGGLING

0:01:56 > 0:01:59Do you remember an inn, Miranda?

0:01:59 > 0:02:01Do you remember an inn?

0:02:01 > 0:02:03Um, my name's Lockie.

0:02:03 > 0:02:04LAUGHTER

0:02:04 > 0:02:06Have you been listening at all?

0:02:06 > 0:02:10- No, neither have my hormones. - LAUGHTER

0:02:13 > 0:02:16So, having trouble concentrating?

0:02:17 > 0:02:18Sorry?

0:02:18 > 0:02:23Look, I realise you must be pretty upset about Dot dropping you.

0:02:23 > 0:02:25If it's any comfort, it doesn't get any simpler

0:02:25 > 0:02:28and women - girls -

0:02:28 > 0:02:32- they're tricky creatures to understand.- Couldn't agree more.

0:02:32 > 0:02:36They can be a major distraction, but

0:02:36 > 0:02:43I find a hobby or an interest helps, you know, keeps you focused.

0:02:43 > 0:02:47So, you're not into poetry, you're shocking at maths,

0:02:47 > 0:02:50and hopeless at woodwork, so...

0:02:50 > 0:02:52what else does Lockie Leonard like?

0:02:52 > 0:02:56'Vicki Streeton, but I wasn't saying that to my ex-girlfriend's uncle.'

0:02:56 > 0:02:59There's nothing else. Just surfing.

0:02:59 > 0:03:01Got it!

0:03:01 > 0:03:05Form a board riders' association, right here at school.

0:03:07 > 0:03:11Well, beats trying to get your head around girls.

0:03:15 > 0:03:19Hold the press, Vicki Streeton's got the lead in the Nutcracker Suite.

0:03:19 > 0:03:23Nutcracker? What's that about?

0:03:25 > 0:03:26It's a fairy tale romance

0:03:26 > 0:03:30about a girl whose Christmas toy transforms into a prince,

0:03:30 > 0:03:34only for a cruel twist of fate to return him to his original form.

0:03:34 > 0:03:37We should try and get to that, make it a family night out.

0:03:37 > 0:03:40Good idea! Family night out. What do you say, Lockie?

0:03:40 > 0:03:41Excellent idea, Sarge.

0:03:41 > 0:03:46Except I'm sort of busy setting up this board riders' association.

0:03:46 > 0:03:49Ah, yes, well that is a big responsibility.

0:03:49 > 0:03:51Ah well, maybe next time.

0:03:51 > 0:03:56'Yes, this board riders' association was a winner already.

0:03:56 > 0:03:59'Everything was gonna be cruisy from here on.'

0:04:01 > 0:04:03OK, serious talk time.

0:04:03 > 0:04:06I received a very...

0:04:06 > 0:04:08disturbing call from Miss Twaddle

0:04:08 > 0:04:11about your poetry lesson.

0:04:11 > 0:04:13Disappointed isn't the word.

0:04:13 > 0:04:15Aghast is more like it.

0:04:15 > 0:04:18How could you not enjoy poetry?

0:04:18 > 0:04:20It's in your genes.

0:04:20 > 0:04:23I guess I've just got more important stuff to think about.

0:04:23 > 0:04:27More important than poetry? What could be more important than poetry?

0:04:27 > 0:04:32Poetry...can change people's lives,

0:04:32 > 0:04:34it can mend differences,

0:04:34 > 0:04:36help people fall in love.

0:04:36 > 0:04:40Poetry is the language of romance.

0:04:41 > 0:04:45- Isn't that right, Joy? Poetry - language of...- Romance.

0:04:45 > 0:04:48..romance. What's the problem, son?

0:04:48 > 0:04:52- Having trouble understanding the language of romance, hmm?- He is!

0:04:52 > 0:04:54Otherwise Dot wouldn't have dumped him.

0:04:54 > 0:04:58- I was gonna dump her first! - Oh, now, that's gotta hurt.

0:04:58 > 0:05:02It's only natural after being so horribly rejected.

0:05:02 > 0:05:05I was not rejected! And I'm not hurt!

0:05:05 > 0:05:07And I'm not interested in poetry!

0:05:07 > 0:05:11It's not like it's ever going to be useful!

0:05:11 > 0:05:14'As soon as I said it, I wished I could swallow the words back.'

0:05:18 > 0:05:20You mustn't blame yourself, Sarge.

0:05:20 > 0:05:23Maybe I should have read him more Dr Seuss.

0:05:23 > 0:05:26A Leonard without poetry, it's akin to a forest without trees,

0:05:26 > 0:05:29an ocean without water, a room without a view.

0:05:29 > 0:05:32There must be something we can do, Joy.

0:05:32 > 0:05:34Maybe there is, Sarge.

0:05:34 > 0:05:38When was the last time you read me a love poem?

0:05:38 > 0:05:40This morning, don't you remember?

0:05:40 > 0:05:42No, I meant in public.

0:05:42 > 0:05:48Maybe Lockie just needs to see the power of poetry

0:05:48 > 0:05:53on the Leonard lips.

0:05:54 > 0:05:57You should read some of these poems, Lock.

0:05:57 > 0:05:59They're inspired!

0:05:59 > 0:06:02No wonder women love this stuff.

0:06:02 > 0:06:05You should listen to what Sarge says,

0:06:05 > 0:06:09unless you want your next girlfriend to dump you too.

0:06:18 > 0:06:19Night, Philip.

0:06:22 > 0:06:26'Tonight I just want to forget about Vicki and girls

0:06:26 > 0:06:30'and the language of romance, all that confusing stuff.'

0:06:30 > 0:06:34'Come on, Lockie, dream of something simple, something you understand,

0:06:34 > 0:06:37'like the Board Riders' Association or surfing.

0:06:37 > 0:06:39'Or even Boof!'

0:06:40 > 0:06:44Look at you, my princess, poised and perfect.

0:06:46 > 0:06:49I know you're going to make me proud.

0:06:49 > 0:06:53Don't worry, Mum, I'm gonna dance my legs off for you.

0:06:53 > 0:06:55I know you will, my princess.

0:06:55 > 0:06:58You never disappoint me.

0:06:58 > 0:07:00DEMON VOICE: Unlike some children.

0:07:00 > 0:07:01AAAHHH!

0:07:01 > 0:07:05'OK, I didn't need a dream to tell me I had to make it up to Sarge.

0:07:05 > 0:07:08'I just needed a plan, like Philip.'

0:07:08 > 0:07:12"And one was there, a stripling on a small and weedy beast

0:07:12 > 0:07:16"He was something like a racehorse undersized

0:07:16 > 0:07:21"With a touch of Timor pony - three parts thoroughbred at least

0:07:21 > 0:07:25"And such as are by mountain horsemen prized..."

0:07:25 > 0:07:27Good, yeah, terrific. Well done, Philip.

0:07:27 > 0:07:30- Really enjoyed it.- Whoa, whoa, Lisa.

0:07:30 > 0:07:33He hasn't finished yet.

0:07:33 > 0:07:37Go on, Philip, "He was hard..."

0:07:37 > 0:07:40"He was hard and tough and wiry

0:07:40 > 0:07:43"Just the sort that won't say die."

0:07:45 > 0:07:48Do you have to be a surf-rat to join?

0:07:48 > 0:07:50I mean, can you be a metal head?

0:07:52 > 0:07:56Being able to swim might be useful, Egg.

0:07:57 > 0:08:00- Hang on! Dude, you can't put these up!- Why not?

0:08:00 > 0:08:04- Read the initials!- B-R-A?

0:08:04 > 0:08:05Which spells...?

0:08:05 > 0:08:08- Board Riders' Association? - Have a closer look!

0:08:09 > 0:08:11B-R-A. Bra.

0:08:12 > 0:08:14- Bra! Ah! - CRUNCH!

0:08:15 > 0:08:16Are you OK?

0:08:16 > 0:08:19Why don't you watch where you're going?

0:08:19 > 0:08:21- It was an accident. - You sure you're all right?

0:08:21 > 0:08:23- I'm fine.- You can't be too careful.

0:08:23 > 0:08:28I had a friend who broke her metatarsal - she never danced again.

0:08:28 > 0:08:32- She broke her what?- Metatarsal. A tiny bone in your foot.

0:08:32 > 0:08:35- And if Vicki's broken it... - "She never danced again."

0:08:36 > 0:08:38Really?

0:08:38 > 0:08:42Good going, Leonard. What else could go wrong?

0:08:44 > 0:08:45Welcome to the first meeting

0:08:45 > 0:08:48of Angelus High Board Riders' Association.

0:08:48 > 0:08:53Board Riders' Association! Check it out! B-R-A, it's bra!

0:08:53 > 0:08:56THEY LAUGH And you're looking at me because...?

0:08:56 > 0:08:58THEY LAUGH

0:09:00 > 0:09:03And you're looking at me because?

0:09:03 > 0:09:08Good move, Bra Boy. You'd better get the best surfer in the school, huh?

0:09:08 > 0:09:10Lockie's already here, genius.

0:09:10 > 0:09:12Hilarious. Excuse me while I wet myself.

0:09:12 > 0:09:15Fine. And when you're done, feel free to join up.

0:09:15 > 0:09:17Join up? Think I might do more than that.

0:09:17 > 0:09:20Think I wanna be president.

0:09:20 > 0:09:24Hey! It's Lockie's club. If anyone's gonna be president, it's him.

0:09:24 > 0:09:25Prepare to lose, Leonard.

0:09:26 > 0:09:30Bring it on...Boof.

0:09:30 > 0:09:31BELL RINGS

0:09:31 > 0:09:35We'll sort this out tomorrow. Same time. Same place.

0:09:35 > 0:09:36I'll be here.

0:09:38 > 0:09:41'With one disaster postponed till tomorrow,

0:09:41 > 0:09:43'I decided to see how Vicki was.'

0:09:45 > 0:09:46Arms out.

0:09:46 > 0:09:48'And how was she?

0:09:48 > 0:09:52'Totally gorgeous. That's how.

0:09:52 > 0:09:54'Until she started dancing...'

0:09:54 > 0:09:56Step back, forward, pirouette...

0:09:56 > 0:09:57Ow.

0:09:57 > 0:10:00'Argh! How many kinds of bad can I feel at once?

0:10:00 > 0:10:03'Whose life would I ruin next?'

0:10:03 > 0:10:08Who did it? Wait until your father finds out, he'll kill him!

0:10:08 > 0:10:11And if he doesn't...

0:10:11 > 0:10:13DEMON VOICE: ..I will!

0:10:14 > 0:10:19What you may not realise, Lockie, is that poetry can be very powerful.

0:10:19 > 0:10:22It's what made me take another look at your father.

0:10:22 > 0:10:27Oh! He had such a way with words.

0:10:30 > 0:10:33Mum, are you OK? Your arm's kinda twitching there.

0:10:33 > 0:10:36Oh, no! Nothing wrong here.

0:10:37 > 0:10:40I was just saying, Lockie, that

0:10:40 > 0:10:44- your father, the Sarge... - TOILET FLUSHES

0:10:44 > 0:10:46..had such a way with words.

0:10:48 > 0:10:50"Shall I compare thee with a summer's day?"

0:10:51 > 0:10:53Sarge?

0:10:54 > 0:10:57"Thou art more lovely and more temperate...

0:11:00 > 0:11:05"..when rough winds do shake the darling buds of May."

0:11:17 > 0:11:21Lisa couldn't stop raving about my rendition of

0:11:21 > 0:11:23The Man From Snowy River.

0:11:25 > 0:11:27I think she's ready to commit.

0:11:27 > 0:11:29'My ten-year-old brother

0:11:29 > 0:11:32'knows more about the language of romance than I do!

0:11:32 > 0:11:36'Am I the only one in this family who doesn't understand it?'

0:11:36 > 0:11:37What about you, Cyril?

0:11:37 > 0:11:38BAAAA!

0:11:40 > 0:11:43'I woke up the next day determined to be positive.

0:11:43 > 0:11:46'I mean, bad luck can't go on for ever, right?'

0:11:46 > 0:11:49The way I figure it, Vicki's foot's just bruised -

0:11:49 > 0:11:51be sore for a bit, that's all.

0:11:51 > 0:11:56- Just like one of those 12-hour things.- Or a 12,000-hour thing.

0:11:57 > 0:11:58Perfect(!)

0:11:58 > 0:12:01Now she'll never want to talk to me ever again.

0:12:01 > 0:12:04I thought you had already reached that stage.

0:12:05 > 0:12:09'Hello? What was that supposed to mean? I'd ruined her life

0:12:09 > 0:12:11'and she's winking at me?

0:12:11 > 0:12:14'At least with Boof I knew exactly what was what.

0:12:14 > 0:12:19'I wanted to be president, he wanted to grind my chances into the dirt.

0:12:19 > 0:12:20'Pure and simple.'

0:12:20 > 0:12:23Let's get this over with, like tearing off a band-aid.

0:12:23 > 0:12:28'Nope, no complications here.'

0:12:28 > 0:12:34Hands up all those in favour of Boof for president.

0:12:34 > 0:12:36Boof! Boof! Boof!

0:12:36 > 0:12:38Let's finish this.

0:12:38 > 0:12:41All those in favour...

0:12:41 > 0:12:43for Lockie.

0:12:44 > 0:12:46Sure, it would have been nice to win,

0:12:46 > 0:12:49but I'm still the best surfer in the group.

0:12:49 > 0:12:51- Definitely no complications here. - DOOR OPENS

0:12:54 > 0:12:55What do you want?

0:12:55 > 0:12:57Lockie for president.

0:12:59 > 0:13:00All those in favour?

0:13:04 > 0:13:08That's a clear majority for Leonard!

0:13:13 > 0:13:15Why'd you do that?

0:13:15 > 0:13:17Do what?

0:13:17 > 0:13:18Vote for me.

0:13:18 > 0:13:21Maybe it was my way of thanking you.

0:13:21 > 0:13:24But I broke your foot, you might never dance again.

0:13:24 > 0:13:28Maybe I don't wanna dance any more. Maybe I never wanted to be a dancer.

0:13:28 > 0:13:31The only reason I did it was because Mum made me.

0:13:31 > 0:13:35When you stood on my foot it gave me the perfect way out.

0:13:35 > 0:13:38There's so many tiny bones in your foot, it's real easy to fake.

0:13:38 > 0:13:42'John East was right. Girls are so tricky.

0:13:42 > 0:13:45'How was anyone supposed to understand them?

0:13:45 > 0:13:48'But at least she was talking to me again.

0:13:48 > 0:13:50'Quick, brain, think of something to say.

0:13:50 > 0:13:53'Scan the files for a conversation subject.

0:13:53 > 0:13:56'Surf? That's not gonna cut it.

0:13:56 > 0:13:58'Are you kidding? Next!

0:13:58 > 0:14:00'Sorry, Cyril.

0:14:00 > 0:14:01'Argh!

0:14:04 > 0:14:06'Wait, hold on! This could work.'

0:14:06 > 0:14:08What about your Mum?

0:14:08 > 0:14:09Sorry?

0:14:09 > 0:14:11What did you tell your mum?

0:14:11 > 0:14:15Don't worry, I didn't tell her it was you, I said it was an accident.

0:14:15 > 0:14:18Isn't she disappointed, though?

0:14:18 > 0:14:21- She'll get over it. - But you were the lead role.

0:14:21 > 0:14:22I only got the lead role

0:14:22 > 0:14:27because Dad's car yard's sponsoring the show. I didn't deserve it.

0:14:27 > 0:14:33You're the best surfer at school, you deserve to be president.

0:14:34 > 0:14:36Just don't tell anyone, OK?

0:14:37 > 0:14:40OK. Not a soul.

0:14:40 > 0:14:42Hey, heard about you and Dot.

0:14:44 > 0:14:45Sorry.

0:14:49 > 0:14:51'Vicki knew I existed again

0:14:51 > 0:14:53'and it felt great.

0:14:53 > 0:14:57'It's strange, just when you think you understand someone,

0:14:57 > 0:15:00'they surprise you.'

0:15:00 > 0:15:02A MAN SHOUTS

0:15:02 > 0:15:04What's the use of this sort of stuff?

0:15:04 > 0:15:06'I couldn't hear what Boof's dad was saying,

0:15:06 > 0:15:10'but I'm guessing it wasn't, "I'm proud of you, Son, no matter what."

0:15:10 > 0:15:15'Some families have poetry in their genes - apparently,

0:15:15 > 0:15:18'while others, they have bullying.'

0:15:19 > 0:15:23Oh! That is so good! President - you, president!

0:15:23 > 0:15:27Oh, that is so wonderful! Isn't it just so wonderful?!

0:15:27 > 0:15:30Great to see you putting your mind to something, son.

0:15:30 > 0:15:31Thanks, Sarge.

0:15:31 > 0:15:34And I know there are more important things than surfing,

0:15:34 > 0:15:36like poetry,

0:15:36 > 0:15:39and I promise I'll try harder to understand them better.

0:15:41 > 0:15:45I am so proud of you, no matter what. Just remember,

0:15:45 > 0:15:48poetry is in everything.

0:15:48 > 0:15:51It's everywhere, it's in the air we breathe.

0:15:51 > 0:15:53We just have to look for it. KNOCK AT DOOR

0:15:53 > 0:15:55I'll get it.

0:15:59 > 0:16:02Hey, Philip, I found this at the movie store,

0:16:02 > 0:16:04it's the movie of Man From Snowy River.

0:16:04 > 0:16:06You seemed so passionate about the poem.

0:16:06 > 0:16:10I'm passionate about many things, Lisa. Thank you very much.

0:16:12 > 0:16:16Apparently it's a masterpiece of Australian cinema,

0:16:16 > 0:16:18we should watch it together some time.

0:16:18 > 0:16:22- How are you placed for tonight? - I don't think that's possible.

0:16:22 > 0:16:24Why? Why is it so impossible?

0:16:24 > 0:16:28- Because the DVD player's broken. - Oh, of course.

0:16:28 > 0:16:31- I knew that.- I can't tonight, anyway, I've got plans.

0:16:31 > 0:16:33CAR HORN HONKS

0:16:33 > 0:16:35Anyway, I better run.

0:16:43 > 0:16:44They could be neighbours

0:16:44 > 0:16:48going to the same video shop to return their movies...

0:16:48 > 0:16:50Night, Philip.

0:16:50 > 0:16:53..or she could be going to his house to watch a movie with him,

0:16:53 > 0:16:57and what did she do first? She came here.

0:16:57 > 0:16:58Night, Philip.

0:16:58 > 0:17:02I was the one she bought the DVD for, with her own money

0:17:02 > 0:17:05and it all started with a poem.

0:17:05 > 0:17:06Night, Philip.

0:17:06 > 0:17:11Sarge is right, the language of romance, it works every time.

0:17:18 > 0:17:20'Let's get this straight,

0:17:20 > 0:17:22'I stepped on Vicki's foot and then, suddenly,

0:17:22 > 0:17:25'both her and Sasha get what they want. It's official,

0:17:25 > 0:17:28'Girls make no sense.

0:17:28 > 0:17:33'Luckily, I had other less confusing things to distract me.

0:17:35 > 0:17:37'Like the Board Riders' Association's

0:17:37 > 0:17:40'first surf-off competition.

0:17:40 > 0:17:45'I was psyched. This was going to be the sporting event of the year.

0:17:45 > 0:17:48'The highlight of the surfing calendar.

0:17:49 > 0:17:53'OK, so it wasn't exactly the Bells Beach classic,

0:17:53 > 0:17:58'but who cares, everyone who mattered turned up.

0:17:58 > 0:18:00'And the most important thing was,

0:18:00 > 0:18:05'we were all there to enjoy the surfing and have a good time.

0:18:05 > 0:18:08'Well, almost everyone.'

0:18:10 > 0:18:13So, Lockie, shall we get this party started?

0:18:13 > 0:18:14Sounds good.

0:18:14 > 0:18:17All right, let's do it.

0:18:19 > 0:18:22'So, this is me, Boof and the other surfers through the heats.

0:18:22 > 0:18:26'It took a while, so here's the highlights package.'

0:18:50 > 0:18:52HONK!

0:18:52 > 0:18:54'After four knock-out rounds,

0:18:54 > 0:18:57'it was only Boof and I left, tied for the lead.

0:18:57 > 0:18:59'which meant only one thing -

0:18:59 > 0:19:00'sudden death.

0:19:00 > 0:19:04'Like I said before, with me and Boof, the arrangement is simple,

0:19:04 > 0:19:09'easy to understand. He gives me grief, then I out-surf him.

0:19:09 > 0:19:13'But now, things with Boof weren't so simple...'

0:19:13 > 0:19:17What's the use of this sort of stuff, bend it like a blade of grass.

0:19:17 > 0:19:18Know what you are?

0:19:18 > 0:19:21'..and I knew what I had to do.'

0:19:22 > 0:19:26'This wave coming up, it'd guarantee me victory.

0:19:26 > 0:19:30'and the other day I would have taken it, but not today.

0:19:30 > 0:19:34'Just this once, maybe Boof deserved to win.'

0:19:54 > 0:19:56Yeah! Keep it up, son!

0:19:59 > 0:20:01Yeah!

0:20:01 > 0:20:03CHEERING AND WHISTLING

0:20:09 > 0:20:11Ah, yes. Good boy!

0:20:16 > 0:20:18- Well done, Boof.- Good on ya, son!

0:20:21 > 0:20:25Hey, Leonard! You might cheat your way to being president,

0:20:25 > 0:20:27but who's the best surfer, eh?

0:20:27 > 0:20:29You, Boof.

0:20:29 > 0:20:31Come on!

0:20:31 > 0:20:34'The way I figured it, I had already won.'

0:20:36 > 0:20:37Well done, son.

0:20:38 > 0:20:40Thanks, Dad. I gave it all I had.

0:20:40 > 0:20:43Oh! You hear that, Joy? A rhyming couplet.

0:20:43 > 0:20:46All is not lost. Told you poetry was in the genes.

0:20:46 > 0:20:49Aw, family hug!

0:21:03 > 0:21:07I can't believe I'm sitting here like some dumb adoring surf chick.

0:21:07 > 0:21:08Again.

0:21:10 > 0:21:13I thought it was really great how you ended it.

0:21:13 > 0:21:14What? Us?

0:21:14 > 0:21:17No, the surf-off with Boof - how you let him win.

0:21:18 > 0:21:20I didn't let him win.

0:21:20 > 0:21:22You're too good a surfer to have missed that wave.

0:21:22 > 0:21:26You handed it to him on purpose. You've grown up, Lockie Leonard.

0:21:28 > 0:21:29Really? You think so?

0:21:29 > 0:21:33It was bound to happen eventually. I just had to be patient.

0:21:33 > 0:21:36'This was it. It was now or never.

0:21:36 > 0:21:40'I had to tell Vicki how I felt, speak the language of romance.

0:21:40 > 0:21:43'But how do you speak a language you don't understand?'

0:21:43 > 0:21:46Poetry is in everything.

0:21:46 > 0:21:49It's everywhere. It's in the air we breathe.

0:21:49 > 0:21:50We just have to look for it.

0:21:52 > 0:21:54Your hair smells like strawberry topping.

0:21:54 > 0:21:56Excuse me?

0:21:56 > 0:21:59That Mum buys, when she goes shopping.

0:21:59 > 0:22:01'Go on, don't give up!

0:22:01 > 0:22:04'Keep looking, there has to be poetry here somewhere.'

0:22:04 > 0:22:06Your eyes are nice and blue,

0:22:06 > 0:22:09like water, that is blue...

0:22:09 > 0:22:11too!

0:22:12 > 0:22:14I know this poem is really dumb,

0:22:14 > 0:22:19but from now on, I promise I'll try harder to understand.

0:22:19 > 0:22:22I'm crazy about you, Vicki.

0:22:25 > 0:22:29'Sarge was right, poetry can change people's lives.

0:22:30 > 0:22:31The poem needs work,

0:22:31 > 0:22:34but you can kiss me again if you like.

0:22:37 > 0:22:40'And just like that, it was as if the planets had shifted again.

0:22:40 > 0:22:44'Suddenly Vicki and I understood each other

0:22:44 > 0:22:48'and it was a beautiful thing, just like poetry.'
