0:00:32 > 0:00:34'The Board-Rider's Association had grown.
0:00:34 > 0:00:36'There were so many members,
0:00:36 > 0:00:38'meetings were getting out of control.'
0:00:38 > 0:00:41OK, everyone. Come on, listen up.
0:00:45 > 0:00:47Everybody, come on.
0:00:49 > 0:00:50WHISTLE!

0:00:52 > 0:00:55We've got a lot to get through, so let's get on with it, eh?
0:00:55 > 0:00:59'The most stressful thing about meetings - making decisions.
0:00:59 > 0:01:04'Decisions are hard. How do you know if you're gonna make the right one?'
0:01:04 > 0:01:07OK, surf carnival, two weeks' time.
0:01:07 > 0:01:09Our first ever surf-off against Noel Springs.
0:01:09 > 0:01:12And as president, I have to pick the teams.
0:01:12 > 0:01:15Look, if you're gonna be secretary, you gotta take notes.
0:01:15 > 0:01:18Who put you in charge?
0:01:20 > 0:01:22- Let's get these teams sorted. - Sorry, guys,
0:01:22 > 0:01:24need to talk to you about youth camp.
0:01:24 > 0:01:28- THEY GROAN - No, it's gonna be great this year.
0:01:28 > 0:01:31- It's called Camp Find Yourself. - What if you're not lost?
0:01:31 > 0:01:34- LAUGHTER - Look, guys,
0:01:34 > 0:01:37this is a chance to discover a whole world of stuff about yourselves.
0:01:37 > 0:01:41Every day we'll gather together and...talk...
0:01:41 > 0:01:43about you.
0:01:44 > 0:01:46It won't all be work.
0:01:46 > 0:01:48There'll be bush walking and canoeing.
0:01:48 > 0:01:51And there's ping pong.
0:01:51 > 0:01:52Oh...
0:01:52 > 0:01:55I need an indication of those who may be interested in coming along.
0:01:55 > 0:01:59- What parents are going? - There'll be some teachers,
0:01:59 > 0:02:01but no parents.
0:02:03 > 0:02:07THE BOYS CLAMOUR
0:02:07 > 0:02:09'Over at his place,
0:02:09 > 0:02:12'Egg was struggling with a meeting of his own.'
0:02:12 > 0:02:16Geoffrey, sweetheart, I'm going away for awhile.
0:02:18 > 0:02:21Your mother's going away for awhile.
0:02:21 > 0:02:24There's an art gallery in the city. They want to talk to me.
0:02:24 > 0:02:26Art gallery...in the city.
0:02:26 > 0:02:28I think we understand.
0:02:30 > 0:02:32How long are you going for?
0:02:32 > 0:02:35well, they might give me some work,
0:02:36 > 0:02:38I might have to stay there for awhile.
0:02:40 > 0:02:43I'd love you to come and live with me, if you want.
0:02:43 > 0:02:46Or, you could stay here. It's totally up to you.
0:02:46 > 0:02:49It's your decision, Geoffrey.
0:02:49 > 0:02:52'Suddenly, Egg felt like he'd been thrown into the middle of
0:02:52 > 0:02:54'some weird game show.'
0:02:54 > 0:02:56APPLAUSE AND CHEERING
0:02:56 > 0:02:59- OK... - HE LAUGHS
0:03:03 > 0:03:06OK, folks, it's time to play
0:03:06 > 0:03:10- the Clock's Ticking! - CHEERING
0:03:10 > 0:03:15The show where you get asked to make a decision, a very big decision
0:03:15 > 0:03:18that can change your entire life.
0:03:18 > 0:03:21And our first contestant today is...Joy?
0:03:21 > 0:03:24Thanks, Sarge.
0:03:24 > 0:03:31- Yes, all the way from Angelus it's Geoffrey "Egg" Eggleston!- Oh!
0:03:31 > 0:03:33APPLAUSE
0:03:33 > 0:03:34Here he comes.
0:03:38 > 0:03:39Eggman!
0:03:39 > 0:03:40You're decision is...
0:03:40 > 0:03:46whether to stay with the Rev or leave with Mum.
0:03:46 > 0:03:48What's your decision?
0:03:48 > 0:03:53And, remember, the clock's ticking!
0:03:53 > 0:03:56APPLAUSE AND CHEERING
0:04:03 > 0:04:04Can I go to school camp?
0:04:06 > 0:04:08It's called Camp Find Yourself.
0:04:10 > 0:04:16Maybe if I find myself, I'll know what to think...about all this.
0:04:16 > 0:04:18Camp Find Yourself. What a name!
0:04:18 > 0:04:19Sounds a bit wet.
0:04:19 > 0:04:22I don't care if it's called Smash Yourself In The Leg -
0:04:22 > 0:04:25- there's no parents. - There's ping pong.
0:04:25 > 0:04:27Hardly any teachers.
0:04:27 > 0:04:30We could spend some time together - just you and me.
0:04:30 > 0:04:33Yeah, we could hang out. Do stuff.
0:04:33 > 0:04:35So, we're going, right?
0:04:35 > 0:04:37Sure, why not?
0:04:38 > 0:04:42This could be really, really good for both of us.
0:04:42 > 0:04:45Yeah, apparently there's canoeing.
0:04:48 > 0:04:51'Vicki was keen on the camp thing.
0:04:51 > 0:04:55'Like, Egg, home wasn't the best place to be at them moment.'
0:04:55 > 0:04:57- MUM:- Don't you ever think about anybody but yourself?
0:04:57 > 0:05:01- DAD:- You don't keep quiet long enough for me to think at all.
0:05:04 > 0:05:05'When the big day came,
0:05:05 > 0:05:07'everyone was psyched.'
0:05:14 > 0:05:18'Vicki and I were looking forward to hanging out - just the two of us.
0:05:20 > 0:05:24'Egg was all fired up to find himself. And Boof...'
0:05:24 > 0:05:26Nobody touches my stuff!
0:05:26 > 0:05:29'Well, he was Boof.'
0:05:29 > 0:05:32You've been divided into work teams and each team has a task. OK?
0:05:32 > 0:05:34As you were.
0:05:35 > 0:05:37- We're on the same team.- Cool.
0:05:39 > 0:05:41And we've got kitchen duty.
0:05:41 > 0:05:44BOOF: I bags the top bunk - no arguments!
0:05:46 > 0:05:49On the walls, you'll find an envelope with your name on it.
0:05:49 > 0:05:53- This is for personal comments. - Comments?
0:05:53 > 0:05:56You wanna tell somebody something, you write it down
0:05:56 > 0:05:58and put it in their envelope.
0:05:58 > 0:05:59I don't understand.
0:05:59 > 0:06:02You wanna tell Geoffrey Eggleston he's a great guy?
0:06:02 > 0:06:05No. LAUGHTER
0:06:05 > 0:06:07You take a piece of paper and you write down,
0:06:07 > 0:06:09"Geoffrey, you're a great guy."
0:06:09 > 0:06:11You go to this envelope here...
0:06:11 > 0:06:15in it goes. ..Geoff, happy reading. Any more questions?
0:06:15 > 0:06:18- <- Where's the ping pong? - In the games room.
0:06:18 > 0:06:19Now, what I...
0:06:20 > 0:06:20Uh-uh-uh.
0:06:22 > 0:06:25Dinner'll need to be ready by six o'clock sharp, so get to it.
0:06:30 > 0:06:34- Egg, what are you doing? - You told me to cook the potato.
0:06:34 > 0:06:37You don't stir fry a whole potato, you boil them in water.
0:06:37 > 0:06:38Oh...
0:06:39 > 0:06:42Oh! This is hopeless.
0:06:46 > 0:06:48Dial-A-Pizza's looking pretty good.
0:06:48 > 0:06:51We can't dial a pizza, we're on kitchen duty.
0:06:51 > 0:06:55If we don't have food for anybody, they're gonna think we can't cook.
0:06:55 > 0:06:57- They're right. You can't.- Well...
0:06:57 > 0:07:01I'm giving it a go. And besides, it's the rules.
0:07:01 > 0:07:04Who cares about the rules? We could hide, down by the beach.
0:07:04 > 0:07:07Have some private time. Just us,
0:07:07 > 0:07:12- away from everybody.- No way. I'm not failing the test on my first day.
0:07:12 > 0:07:14OK. Cut me up some onions.
0:07:15 > 0:07:17Egg, what are you doing?
0:07:17 > 0:07:20Finding myself and the self I've found is useless at cooking.
0:07:20 > 0:07:23Well, you can learn.
0:07:23 > 0:07:25What else have we got?
0:07:28 > 0:07:30MUSIC PLAYS
0:07:38 > 0:07:39Egg, salt.
0:07:57 > 0:07:59Pasta Neapolitana!
0:07:59 > 0:08:00Help yourselves.
0:08:10 > 0:08:12It's OK.
0:08:12 > 0:08:15'When you have your best friend and girlfriend beside you as a team,
0:08:15 > 0:08:18'cooking isn't so bad.
0:08:21 > 0:08:23And it sure beats cleaning up.
0:08:29 > 0:08:32Egg, are you coming to play ping pong?
0:08:32 > 0:08:33No, thanks.
0:08:33 > 0:08:35Really? You don't want to play?
0:08:35 > 0:08:38- Maybe later. - Are you sure you don't wanna come?
0:08:38 > 0:08:40Yeah...
0:08:42 > 0:08:44- Are you all right?- Yeah.
0:08:46 > 0:08:48Do you want me to hit you with a shoe?
0:08:48 > 0:08:52My mum's leaving. I don't think she's coming back.
0:08:57 > 0:08:58Whoa...
0:08:58 > 0:09:02She said I have to decide between going to the city with her
0:09:02 > 0:09:05or staying in Angelus with the Rev.
0:09:06 > 0:09:07What are you gonna do?
0:09:09 > 0:09:11The clock's still ticking.
0:09:14 > 0:09:16I haven't made up my mind yet.
0:09:16 > 0:09:18You can't go to the city.
0:09:18 > 0:09:21Angelus is where you live.
0:09:21 > 0:09:23All your friends are here.
0:09:23 > 0:09:25Why do you have to make the decision?
0:09:25 > 0:09:28I don't know. I just do.
0:09:28 > 0:09:32Lockie, come quick. You gotta see this. Quickly.
0:09:32 > 0:09:33You gotta come see.
0:09:33 > 0:09:36- What?- I can't tell you. You've got to see.
0:09:36 > 0:09:38- I'll be there later. - No, you need to come now.
0:09:44 > 0:09:46What's happening?
0:09:46 > 0:09:48Boof's singing.
0:09:48 > 0:09:50That's my surprise? Boof's singing.
0:09:50 > 0:09:53- He's dancing and everything. Come on. - I don't think I can.- Shh...
0:09:57 > 0:09:59Look,
0:09:59 > 0:10:03Egg's having a hard time. His mum and dad are splitting up.
0:10:03 > 0:10:06- Well, maybe they should. - You don't mean that.- Why not?
0:10:06 > 0:10:08Do you think it's fun watching them fight?
0:10:08 > 0:10:11HE SIGHS
0:10:11 > 0:10:13I don't think I should leave him himself.
0:10:13 > 0:10:16Right...
0:10:16 > 0:10:18Egg, come with us.
0:10:18 > 0:10:21Come watch Boof make a fool of himself.
0:10:21 > 0:10:23APPLAUSE
0:10:23 > 0:10:25# Twinkle twinkle, little star... #
0:10:25 > 0:10:28'Take people camping, away from their parents,
0:10:28 > 0:10:29'their normal lives,
0:10:29 > 0:10:32'and all of a sudden they don't know who they wanna be.'
0:10:32 > 0:10:34OK, Boof, what's your decision?
0:10:34 > 0:10:36Who do you wanna be?
0:10:36 > 0:10:39The Old Boof that nobody much likes
0:10:39 > 0:10:42or a brand new, all-singing, dancing,
0:10:42 > 0:10:44likeable Boof?
0:10:44 > 0:10:49And remember, the clock's ticking!
0:10:49 > 0:10:52APPLAUSE AND CHEERING
0:10:53 > 0:10:55'Boof decided to be new and improved
0:10:55 > 0:10:57'and Sasha liked what she saw.
0:10:57 > 0:11:01'And even weirder, everyone else started pairing off too.
0:11:01 > 0:11:04'It was like couples' club or something.
0:11:04 > 0:11:06'And everyone in the room was a member.
0:11:06 > 0:11:09'Well, almost everyone.'
0:11:19 > 0:11:21Egg!
0:11:26 > 0:11:29Egg! I don't know where he is.
0:11:29 > 0:11:35Maybe he just wants to be alone for a while. Come on.
0:11:43 > 0:11:47OK. Everyone, go to your envelopes.
0:11:52 > 0:11:58So...who's going to read out their personal comments first?
0:11:58 > 0:12:04- Vicki?- "Can I borrow your surf ski?" I don't have a surf ski.
0:12:04 > 0:12:07That was meant for Wack.
0:12:07 > 0:12:10You didn't write me a message.
0:12:11 > 0:12:17Er...Geoffrey Eggleston. What have you got?
0:12:20 > 0:12:24"Angelus is a lot cleaner than the city."
0:12:24 > 0:12:26That's true.
0:12:26 > 0:12:30Well, I don't...know what that has to do with anything.
0:12:30 > 0:12:31Give us another one, Geoff.
0:12:31 > 0:12:36"There are better beaches in Angelus".
0:12:36 > 0:12:38How many messages have you written me?
0:12:41 > 0:12:43Sir, I've got a positive comment.
0:12:43 > 0:12:48Well, that's...mildly astounding.
0:12:48 > 0:12:51Um...I'd like to share it with the group.
0:12:51 > 0:12:53"Dear Boof,
0:12:53 > 0:12:59"you are one very special...block." Huh?
0:12:59 > 0:13:02- "Bloke". It says "bloke".- Oh.
0:13:02 > 0:13:05ALL: Ooh!
0:13:05 > 0:13:09Blue Team, your job is to hide yourself somewhere in this area.
0:13:09 > 0:13:14Red Team, your job is to find them and tag them.
0:13:14 > 0:13:19- How do you tag them?- You hit 'em with one of these. If you get hit,
0:13:19 > 0:13:20you're out of the game.
0:13:20 > 0:13:24And you've only got three eggs each, so be careful.
0:13:24 > 0:13:27I'll give one egg each to the Blue Team.
0:13:27 > 0:13:31If you hit someone on the Red Team, they're out of the game.
0:13:31 > 0:13:36The winner of this event gets to go canoeing all afternoon.
0:13:36 > 0:13:41- Canoeing!- All right, Blue Team, you have 30 seconds to find
0:13:41 > 0:13:46your hiding places, starting... now.
0:13:50 > 0:13:53Lockie! Lockie!
0:13:57 > 0:13:59Lockie, here.
0:14:02 > 0:14:07- 'Egg got teamed up with the new Boof'.- Agh! Agh! My foot's hurting.
0:14:07 > 0:14:10Shh! If they tag us, we're out.
0:14:10 > 0:14:14I know that. They've only got two eggs. We've got six.
0:14:14 > 0:14:18- Seven, counting you, Egg. - Ha, that's funny. See ya.
0:14:18 > 0:14:21Hey, wait! My foot's hurting.
0:14:21 > 0:14:24'Egg had a feeling the new Boof was never gonna last.'
0:14:24 > 0:14:27Hurry up, Egghead!
0:14:27 > 0:14:30'And he was right.'
0:14:31 > 0:14:36Are we...I mean... are you gonna stay here?
0:14:36 > 0:14:38- Yeah, why not?- I should hide somewhere else.
0:14:38 > 0:14:41- Why?- If we're together, we'll both be tagged.
0:14:41 > 0:14:46- So?- We'll lose the game.- So?- So... I should hide somewhere else.
0:14:46 > 0:14:49- Don't be stupid.- Shh! What was that? - Dingoes. Come here.
0:14:49 > 0:14:53- Seriously, I heard something.- Lockie!- If we win,
0:14:53 > 0:14:57- we get to go canoeing. - Haven't you been canoeing?
0:14:57 > 0:15:01Yeah, with Egg. It was heaps of fun. We should do it again sometime,
0:15:01 > 0:15:05- to cheer him up.- Can you stop thinking about Egg for five seconds?
0:15:05 > 0:15:08There's nothing you can do. None of this is your decision.
0:15:08 > 0:15:10But what if he goes with his mum to the city?
0:15:10 > 0:15:15- He's my best mate. I don't want him to leave Angelus.- Let Egg
0:15:15 > 0:15:20sort it out, OK? So we can spend more time together, like we promised.
0:15:20 > 0:15:22OK, Lockmeister!
0:15:22 > 0:15:27What's your decision? And remember, the clock's ticking!
0:15:27 > 0:15:30CROWD CHEERS
0:15:33 > 0:15:34You don't care, do you?
0:15:34 > 0:15:38- You don't care that Egg's family's messed up.- Of course I care.- No.
0:15:38 > 0:15:42You don't. All you care about is us being a couple.
0:15:42 > 0:15:47- Lockie!- Shh, keep your voice down.
0:15:49 > 0:15:50My God.
0:15:50 > 0:15:55- I can't believe you just did that. - It's only a game, Lockie. For kids.
0:15:55 > 0:16:00- I'm a kid. I like being a kid. - OTHERS SHOUT >
0:16:03 > 0:16:05Yeah!
0:16:06 > 0:16:09Come on, Boof!
0:16:19 > 0:16:22'Before we knew it, Camp Find Yourself was over.
0:16:22 > 0:16:25'It was time to go back home. Back to our parents,
0:16:25 > 0:16:29'back to being who we were.'
0:16:37 > 0:16:40- Hey, Sasha.- As if.
0:16:48 > 0:16:52'For some of us, though, things were weird. And if Egg had
0:16:52 > 0:16:58'made a decision about his parents, he wasn't letting on. Whether any
0:16:58 > 0:17:02of us had found ourselves, I couldn't tell.
0:17:02 > 0:17:07'One thing I did figure out, though. I realised why Vicki wasn't keen
0:17:07 > 0:17:10'to talk about Egg's messed up family.'
0:17:10 > 0:17:13< VOICES ARGUE INSIDE
0:17:13 > 0:17:16- We planned...- I know we planned...
0:17:16 > 0:17:18'Compared to the Streetons,
0:17:18 > 0:17:21'Egg's family weren't looking so messed up any more.'
0:17:21 > 0:17:24'At least his parents cared enough to do something
0:17:24 > 0:17:26'to stop the fighting,
0:17:26 > 0:17:29'even if it was tough for Egg.'
0:17:29 > 0:17:33- I don't...don't want to make a decision.- OK, you don't have to.
0:17:33 > 0:17:37But...I'm gonna make one, because I think it's cool
0:17:37 > 0:17:39that you're letting me decide for myself.
0:17:39 > 0:17:43And...the only thing I've figured out is that it's got nothing to do
0:17:43 > 0:17:47with stuff like I like my mum better than my dad,
0:17:47 > 0:17:51or my dad better than my mum,
0:17:51 > 0:17:54- or anything like that. - We know, sweetheart.
0:17:54 > 0:17:57I'm going to stay here, with Dad.
0:18:02 > 0:18:06- I like you.- I like you too!
0:18:10 > 0:18:15'While Egg was sorting stuff out, I decided to fix things with Vicki.'
0:18:20 > 0:18:22I'm sorry.
0:18:22 > 0:18:26About what?
0:18:26 > 0:18:28You have enough family hassles of your own,
0:18:28 > 0:18:32- without me going on about Egg's.- That's my business.
0:18:32 > 0:18:34Yeah. But...
0:18:37 > 0:18:40want to go along the beach, or something?
0:18:40 > 0:18:44No, I don't think so.
0:18:46 > 0:18:50I love you. I do, I love you.
0:18:50 > 0:18:56- And I want you to be in love with me. - What does that mean?- It means
0:18:56 > 0:18:59you want to be with me more than anything else.
0:18:59 > 0:19:02More than chocolate, more than canoeing.
0:19:02 > 0:19:09- And more than Egg.- Yeah. I like you more than all of that put together.
0:19:09 > 0:19:12That's more like it.
0:19:12 > 0:19:15But I still don't know if I love you.
0:19:15 > 0:19:18- You either love me, or you don't.- I just don't know.
0:19:18 > 0:19:25I mean, I'm 13. I don't know if I'm ready to be a couple.
0:19:25 > 0:19:26Yet.
0:19:31 > 0:19:36- Oh, no, please don't cry. - Don't touch me.
0:19:38 > 0:19:40Vicki...
0:19:43 > 0:19:47It's over. Finished.
0:19:50 > 0:19:56- Listen...- And none of this "Let's just be friends", OK?
0:20:05 > 0:20:09- Lockie?- Hi.
0:20:09 > 0:20:13- Dinner's nearly ready.- OK.
0:20:16 > 0:20:19HE SNIFFS
0:20:31 > 0:20:34(Come here).
0:21:21 > 0:21:27OK! We've still got to organise the teams for tomorrow.
0:21:27 > 0:21:31And we've got to decide who goes in the big ticket surf-off.
0:21:31 > 0:21:32All those who vote Boof?
0:21:34 > 0:21:37- Put your hands up! - All those who vote Lockie?
0:21:37 > 0:21:39It can't be official anyway.
0:21:39 > 0:21:42The club secretary's not here to record it.
0:21:42 > 0:21:45She doesn't record anything even when she is here.
0:21:45 > 0:21:48I vote we kick her out of the association.
0:21:48 > 0:21:52- You're not kicking her out! - What do you care? She dumped you.
0:21:52 > 0:21:54- She never dumped me. - Who wants her out?
0:21:54 > 0:21:58'I hate decisions. They tear your brain in half.
0:21:58 > 0:22:02'But sometimes, if you get them right, they can make you happy.'
0:22:02 > 0:22:06That's it. I quit. Get yourself another club president.
0:22:06 > 0:22:11- You quit just cos of Vicki? - What about the surf-off?
0:22:11 > 0:22:15'On the day of the surf carnival, I hit the waves too...
0:22:15 > 0:22:20'at a different beach on the other side of town.
0:22:20 > 0:22:25'Thought I'd have my own surf-off. Easiest decision I'd made in ages.'
0:22:28 > 0:22:31# Boy, it's breaking
0:22:31 > 0:22:35# Underneath the wild sky
0:22:35 > 0:22:37# Eh, hey, hey
0:22:37 > 0:22:40# Eh, hey, hey
0:22:40 > 0:22:43# Worlds away from anyone
0:22:43 > 0:22:46# They were burning themselves out in the sun
0:22:46 > 0:22:53# It was just enough to get them all away... #
