Reunion

1
Are you kidding me!
It's my piano.
And this is my arm, cockface!
Where are you taking it?
Perth. Why?
You need to come home.
My mum's dying.
I'm going to Perth too.
What?
No, you're not.
Yeah, I am.
How much fuel did you put in this?
Oh, shit.
It's a diesel, isn't it?
How do I know you can
look after that girl?
She's indestructible, dude.
- Did you steal a car?
- You wanna get to Perth?
- Come on!
- Get in.
Well, you're a fuckin' dead man!
Whoo!
That's Matty, he's my brother.
I just wanted to say that
it's not your fault.
Oh, shit.
I wasn't gonna jump off the cliff!
What the hell's this about then?
It's Matty's!
I'm so sorry.
Why? Did you tie the rope?
Her Mum's not in Kal, is she?
Mate, her mum pissed off
when she was a bub.
I'm sorry I lied about Mum.
Guys, this is Suzie.
This is the guys.
This is my little brother.
Oh, Suzie!
Gonna make up to ya ♪
I can't imagine meeting anyone
that I love a tenth
as much as I love you.
You idiot.
Hi, Billie.
You're Uncle Lucky.
Do you wanna tell her?
No. He's not telling her.
I am asking what he wants.
Well, I don't care what he wants!
Tobes.
Do you know the thing
that fucks with my head?
If you hadn't have done what
you did, she wouldn't exist.
If you hadn't have done what
you did, she wouldn't exist.

You coming, mate?
Yep.
Sorry, I need to piss.
What's wrong with yours?
Ours isn't flushing.
Why haven't you got pants on?
They're not dry.
Well, we're going on. Like, now.
Why were they wet?
What?
Your jeans, how'd they get wet?
Brad spilt beer on 'em last night.
Or maybe it was wine.
Maybe it was Pete.
Whatever.
Just don't leave us hanging, OK?
Jesus! Fuck!

Lucky.
Lucky, your phone's ringing.
OK.
Ow. Fuck.
Billie Bee!
Hey, Uncle Lucky.
What are you doing awake?
What's the time over there?
12:14.
That means it's 3:15am over here.
How did you know I'd be awake?
Someone just tagged you on Insta.
What are you doing on Instagram
in the middle of the night?
Can't sleep.
Why? It's going on?
Are you OK?
Just excited, I suppose.
About the trip?
It's still, like, a week away.
Eight days.
Exactly. So you're gonna have
to sleep at some point.
I know. I just
You nervous?
Toby said you're a bit anxious about
playing by yourself.
Toby said you're a bit anxious about
playing by yourself.
I just spew sometimes.
No big deal.
Dad's more worried than I am.
Yeah, fair enough.
I suppose I would be
too if I was him.
Billie, what are you doing?
It's Uncle Lucky. We're just
I don't care.
It's the middle of the night.
It's my fault, Tobes.
Phone in the kitchen.
Hop into bed. Now. It was my fault.
I shouldn't have rung. I got
the time difference upside-down.
For fuck's sake, Lucky,
it doesn't matter.
It is fucking inappropriate
for her to be on the phone.
Tobes, you're making a mountain
out of a mole
Shut up! We have agreed,
against my better judgement,
if I'm honest, to let her fly over.
And you're calling her,
pissed off your face,
in what looks like
a fucking public toilet at 3am!
No I swear, we will
cancel the trip, Lucky.
Bullshit. You can't.
You can't do that.
Get your shit together.
I have my
..shit together.
Oh, looking
a bit rough there, champ.
No-one's interested in a guy
going through a gate, mate.
But they might be interested
in what Avery thinks
about you getting it on
with Mary Doyle.
Ooh, lovely.
Yeah, that's the shot.
Thrilled for you.
You can fuck off now.
Ahh, no, I think I'll hang.
You might be back out in a minute.
Chrissake.
You're just so bad at this.
How did you let him get the shot?
I didn't have a choice. He was
It's not rocket science, Lucky.
You just don't look at them.
Why was he even there?
I've literally left you
about ten messages.
Oh, yeah. Sorry, I know.
My phone's completely dead.
I forgot to take a charger.
Oh, that's a huge surprise.
You had a fun night.
You had a fun night.
OK. No, this
This isn't I
No, everyone was just drunk.
I don't even know who she is.
I think she's a friend of
Wait, you don't know who she is?
This incredibly famous,
extremely online woman
with her hand on your chest,
you don't recognise her.
I recognise her from
last night but
I thought she was
a friend of Brad's or
Come in.
Thought she was just a hanger-on.
No, she doesn't have
a comment. Eugh!
Neither does he.
Yeah, I don't even remember that.
OK. Bye.
He doesn't even know who she is.
Shocked.
Who who is?
Mary Doyle.
Mary who?
Doyle.
She's from Dance Off.
Dance Off?
Highest rating show on
Australian television, you luddite.
Luddites objected to looms.
Whatever.
Honestly, Ave,
I was quite pissed.
I just can't believe you put yourself
in this position to begin with.
She was just one
of those close-talkers.
She did like, a 25 minute monologue
on Biodynamic fuckin' um
What's the,
it's like celery but it's red.
What's the,
it's like celery but it's red.
Rhubarb.
And she was very handsy
but I didn't do
No, the point is
is that you gave them a story.
I didn't post the photos.
No, your thick-headed drummer did.
She has a Masters
in electrical engineering.
Just thought you'd understand
how this works by now.
I
The train on Platform 24
goes to Bondi Junction
stopping at all stations.
First stop
Nice boots, sweetheart.
Nice mullet, fuck knuckle.
327 comments.
It's OK, I'll call Betts
and tell her to take 'em down.
I just need
Darl, do we have painkillers?
Second drawer, same place it's been
for the last 50 hangovers.
Ahh, fuck.
Can you not say "fuck" and
not immediately tell me what it is?
It's just I've got
a radio interview in five minutes.
What?
Out To Lunch with Hados and Tokka.
Oh, gross, pull it.
I'll stick it on.
Can't pull it, I've still
got tickets to sell for next week.
Babe, they're gonna ask about this.
They will absolutely
ask about it.
No, they're not.
Those photos have been up for what,
two hours,
and anyway, it's an interview
about my gig and my songs.
You have a question
for Lucky about his songs.
"All Live" was our absolute fave.
Avery Mae.
Oh, feral. I hate that guy.
..rather interesting photos
that have popped up.
A few had Mary Doyle
Get Nina to call and say you're sick.
No, no, no, that would definitely
make it worse.
Oh, that's nice.
This guy just call me a slut.
Don't read it.
Why are you reading it?
How am I a slut?
"Laclan." Ha, my grandad was
a Laclan. Obsessed by Nazis.
Think he just liked the uniforms.
Jesus!
Fuck!
Who is it?
It's Nina. I don't have
It's Nina. I don't have
Answer it.
Hey, Nines.
Hi, darl. Did you get the package?
Yeah, it's in my hands.
OK. The deal is as good as
it's going to get
but you have to sign it today.
OK, but didn't we agree that I'd
have some time to think about this?
Yes, that was three months ago.
We'll discuss it when I get there.
Jesus!
Christ!
Nina?
Have you seen your boy
with Mary Doyle?
My boy's with WHO?
Do you not have alerts
on your clients?
Ahh, we represent musicians,
Richard, not gossip fodder.
She's not
Oh, thank you, Nina.
..gossip
Oh hi, darls.
Hi.
..fodder.
Oh, she's with Dance Off.
Famously.
I don't understand any of this.
The airline gets the rights
to your song for a year
and you get 60 grand.
And everyone loves your song
and buys the album.
If you ever finish it.
Ahh, that would be your interview.
Oh, Jesus! Fuck!
Hey, how are you getting out of this?
I'll just, I'll tell them the truth.
Whoa! Easy, Tiger.
Is the truth good or bad
in this case?
Yep. I'm here.
The truth's rhubarb, apparently
Yeah, ready when you are.
..in this case.
Yeah, ready when you are.
..in this case.
No. Lucky, come. Sit.
Stay.
Alright, Lucky, listen.
I know this is all just nonsense
to you, yeah?
It's not. I
But it's my job.
And being family friendly
is part of that.
Well, it paid for the house
you live in.
So, can you just, can you just
not be hilarious? Don't be sarcastic.
Just don't rise to their bait.
You're gonna be great.
Hello?
Hi. Are you ready?
'Cause we're patching you through.
And it's Ooh no, no,
there he is. Lucky Flynn.
Hi, Hados.
G'day, Tokka.
So, Lucky, a year ago
no-one had any clue who you were
and now you're on Out To Lunch
with Hados and Tokka!
Thanks for having me, guys.
It's an honour.
No, the honour's all ours, mate.
Is it weird but?
How's that?
Being a muso but mostly
being known as, you know,
the hairy bloke
who scored Avery Mae.
Yeah.
It's a funny story, actually.
I was playing this New Year's gig
earlier this year and that's how
I was playing this New Year's gig
earlier this year and that's how
Which, I think, we all agree
was rather soon
after a Avery's very public split
with Grant Bunning.
Who, let's be honest,
is more in the same league.
Oh, Tokka!
Mate, you can't say that!
No, no, Lucky knows what I mean.
I mean, you're a fine-looking
rooster. But, you know
No, no, no,
Lucky's not too bad, are you, mate?
He has other attributes.
Look at bloody Grant Bunning!
That's what he's known for,
being hot.
And for being a complete fuckwit.
I think we've had
a bit of a technical issue there.
We seem to have lost our guest.
This is Out To Lunch with Ha
Well, they didn't ask
about the photos.
You are such
a child sometimes, Lucky.
Ave, come on, I'm sorry.
I was just joking. It was a joke.
Oi, Miss Mae.
Give us a smile.
That's it. That's great.
Hey!
Nice and angry. Love it.
Really, really good.
I thought I told you to fuck off.
Lucky, leave him alone.
Whoa! Whoa! Whoa!
Lucky, stop! Just give me
that fucking camera.
That's my car, Lucky.
That's my fucking car!
What is wrong with you?
I can't do this.
What is wrong with you?
I can't do this.
I am calling the cops.
Oh, don't call the cops, you dick.
Oh, I'm a dick? I'm a dick!
Go have a shower, darls,
you stink.
Fuck!
Eugh!
She's not here, mate,
and I'm sorry I called
you a fuckwit on the radio.
You just made a massive
You are though, a fuckwit.
Hello, Tobes.
Hello, little brother.
Nice radio, mate. Typically mature.
Did you know that to send
an unaccompanied minor on a plane
you have to sign a thing saying
she'll be met by an adult?
Yeah, I know.
So who are you going
to get to meet her?
Ha, ha.
Yeah, ha, ha.
Have you got the flight details
written down?
It's Monday week, 12:25pm.
I know.
It's Monday week, 12:25pm.
I know.
About the time you'd normally be
cracking your second beer, isn't it?
Give me a fucking break. Hey?
Mate, look, I'm sorry I rang
in the middle of the night.
It was just a time zone error.
It was no big drama.
Yeah, well, as her dad,
it's my job to stop the big drama
before it happens.
It won't happen. I'm gonna be
ready for her. I promise.
Yeah, you'd better be, matey.
Good afternoon.
Everything OK?
Yep. All good.
Bit of a day.
Do you wanna come in?
Cup of tea or?
We've received a complaint.
Ha. Thought he was bluffing.
Not bluffing.
No, clearly.
Look at you. Very responsive.
Mr Proctielli claims that you
physically assaulted him.
I was just trying to stop him taking
photos of my distressed girlfriend.
He also said you smashed his camera.
I did that.
And a car window.
Whose car was that?
It was Rich's car, Rich Hodgkins.
Like the disease.
Why was your girlfriend distressed?
Why was your girlfriend distressed?
Ahh, because Mr Proctielli
is a slimy piece of shit
who likes taking pictures
of her bum.
And also probably because
I called her ex-boyfriend
the F word on the radio.
Fuck?
Wit. Fuckwit.
Fuckwit. Yep.
Ex-boyfriend?
Grant Bunning. Plays Officer
Cranbrook on Precinct 17.
His character's lovely so you can't
accuse him of not being able to act.
Right. Unless Mr Proctielli
drops his complaint,
we'll see you again in
a few days with a summons.
Meantime, keep it cool, huh?
Have a shower.
I would literally kill my already
dead mother for a shower right now.
No! Go away.
No! Fuck off!
Fuck! Fuck.
What do you want
Meg.
Hey, dickhead.
Miss me?
I
I gotta pee.
Fancy!
And school?
Mmm. I'm in Year 12 but
Mmm. I'm in Year 12 but
But
Oh well, my school
only goes to Year 10
so if I'm gonna do HSC,
I've gotta go to Bourke,
and that's like,
1.5 hours on the bus each way.
I get there sometimes but you know,
Dad's back on the beers.
Right.
Yeah. But like,
school is bullshit anyway.
Like, Moby Dick's not just a whale.
Like, fucking der.
Not just a dick either.
You've done alright.
Oh, it's not my house.
Do you want a beer?
No, I hate beer.
Mmm, of course. Sorry.
No, it just tastes like piss.
Need a coffee or a tea?
Go with tea, thank you.
So, you have a boyfriend?
Maybe it's a girlfriend.
Do you have a girlfriend?
Nuh. Boyfriend.
Well, I did but, um
We
Oh, hi, Ave.
No, I'm gonna stay at Mum's.
OK. Um
No, I don't wanna talk about it.
I just came back for my phone.
I know. I'm sorry but
I don't wanna talk about it.
Have you see my phone?
It's just on the bench but
Hey, that prick is still out
the front. Ave
So can you maybe just try not
to mess up my life
more than you absolutely have to?
- That would be really
- Hi.
Oh, shit!
Hi.
This is, ahh, Meg.
Who the fuck is Meg?
I'm the fuck is Meg.
Who the fuck are you?
Whoa, woah, woah!
This is Avery. She's my girlfriend.
She owns this house.
Oh, yeah. I've seen you on telly.
You're hot.
What are you doing with him?
I actually have no idea sometimes.
Meg is, um a friend.
Well, I mean, we
Haven't spoken in four years.
Do you remember I told you
I drove to Perth when Mum was sick?
Do you remember I told you
I drove to Perth when Mum was sick?
Ahh, sort of.
Well, I gave Meg
Meg gave me a lift some of the way.
Well then,
what is going on here?
Well, Meg, um
had a bit of an argument
with her Dad and she needed some
Lucky's gonna take me to Queensland.
Sorry?
- Yeah, we're going to Queensland.
- What, Queensland?
You told me that
you needed somewhere to go
because you had a fight
with your dad. I did.
I had a fight with my dad because
he wouldn't take me to Queensland.
Alright. This is the first
I've heard of this.
You were in a crap mood
and I knew you'd lose your shit.
He doesn't go well with
new information when he's tired.
Ha! He doesn't he totally
doesn't cope well
with new information when he's tired.
OK
No, we're not can have a whole
Oh, just fuck off. Can we
Alright, this is all just
So Meg, good luck. I am sure,
like everything in Lucky's life,
you'll remain something that
I half understand.
I'm going to Mum's.
So, when's the wedding?
Meg
What's going on?
What's going on?
That's Mum, on the left.
When did you find these?
Last week.
Right.
And your Dad
Is a lying piece of shit.
He's probably just trying
to protect No, it's bullshit!
He told me that she was overseas,
my whole life,
but she's been in
Queensland this whole time.
And he knew. And I'm 17
and he should have told me.
No, he's a fucking liar.
That's the most recent one.
From Brisbane.
OK.
Look, I get that you wanna find her.
I do. But what do you think
What are you hoping to get?
She doesn't know about Matty.
I guess Dad never told her.
Don't reckon he even tried.
Like, that's fucked, right?
If your kid died, you'd wanna know.
Even if you you'd been
a shit parent
You'd wanna know.
And I don't have any money.
OK, I don't.
I spent everything I had
on getting here
and I really need to get to Brisbane
and I didn't know who else to ask.
Meg, you can't show up
after four years
and just expect me to
hop on a plane with you.
I'm in the middle of a tour.
Your show's Thursday week.
I looked it up.
There's other stuff.
Billie's coming.
Have you told her?
Have you told her?
OK. This'll take two days,
tops. I promise.
Please?
I have to get this.
Hi, Nina. Yeah, I know,
I've been ignoring it. OK.
I'll look. OK.
Sorry.
What?
Oh, shit!
What is it?
Oh, shit.
What?
The
Just show me. Oh, my god!
Oh, you really are a psycho.
Fuck!
And you're a meme.
Oh, this is
Jesus Christ.
Look, Meg, like, I'm sorry.
I I have all this
crazy shit going on
and by tonight there's going
to be more paps out the front.
And the cops are probably gonna
turn up with a summons tomorrow.
And Avery's gone to her mum's house
which means she'll be
on the lady petrol all night
and she'll be back
in the morning with a migraine
and a million excellent reasons
why I don't deserve her.
And her arsehole ex-boyfriend's
probably gonna sue me.
And I've got this contract
that's doing my head in
and everything's
just complicated, OK?
And I obviously can't just take off.
I mean, I haven't even
unpacked my bag.
You look nice as all dressed up ♪
