Reparations
1
Megan, you're around
nine weeks pregnant.
I'm happy to schedule a termination
if you're sure that's what you want.
You can piss off now, Jaxon.
I don't need the fucking drama.
Does he know?
Like, I'm totally going
to tell my dad
about my awesome teen pregnancy.
We're looking for someone?
- Isn't that, um
- Amanda.
One day she just, poof,
emptied the till and that was that.
Oof.
Amanda made those.
I have one at home.
I think you're a little bit
in denial.
My god! Can you hear yourself?!
Where's your daughter, Lucky?
I'm trying to get home to see her.
Where's Lock?
What are you going to do?
I was thinking maybe I'd kill him.
Argh!
Drive! Go!
Drive! Go!
Where are we going?
We are going north to Gungardie.
Your boyfriend ain't coming back ♪
Your girlfriends
ain't coming back ♪
Your best friend
ain't coming back ♪
So, get, get down,
get down like ♪
Thanking you, Chubba.
Go on then.
Huh, how about you pay me
last month's rent
and then we'll talk about it?
Fair enough.
Why do they call Chubba anyway
if you're so skinny?
- Different kind of Chub.
- You know.
Oh, yeah I love it!
Please tell me right now!
Year 8 swimming carnival at Scotch.
Second division breast stroke.
I was on the starting blocks and
..yeah.
Must've been the silky fabric
or something.
Little fella just popped up to
say hello,
and, 'Boom'. That was it.
Chubba. It just stuck.
I bet it did. Well, fuck it.
You're in Far North Queensland now,
m'brother.
Every prick and his dog's
running away from something.
Yours is a twenty-year-old boner.
Hey, Mr DJ, y'right?
Hey! Hey!
Argh! Fuck!
Hey! Hey!
Argh! Fuck!
Hey, hey, you're alright.
Let's have one.
Let's have one together.
Alright, Cairns, are you ready
to forget who the fuck we are?!
What the hell is that?
A cassowary.
'12 Things That'll Kill You
in The Daintree'.
After Crocodiles, suicide plants,
paralysis ticks, and feral pigs.
Cassowary?
"This angry prehistoric chicken
will gut you
with it's ten inch medial claw".
Medial?
Medial claw.
Holy shit, that's a sheep.
That's it's intestines!
That is fucking sick. Look!
Look!
No, I don't want to look.
Make it go away.
No, oy. You're driving.
Hey, hey, hey!
You're driving. It's the law.
That's my Who is it?
It's just Billie.
What does she say?
"You're so random.
How drunk were you?"
How drunk were you?
Lucky?
I don't
Wow.
What?
I'm pretty sure
I'm looking at the words,
“5 sleeps” spelt out in bananas.
Oh, yeah. I did that.
Oh, you also sent Avery like,
a thousand messages, mate.
Mate.
Yep.
Getting pissed by y'self
in a cheap motel.
Classy.
Blurgh.
What?
Oh, nothing.
I just got a wave of
Oh, no. It's
You've been looking at the phone.
Look at the horizon.
No it's cause you smell like
red wine and arse.
I don't smell like arse.
Oh, can you stop making that noise,
you're making me sick.
I'm pregnant, I can't help
Well, it's not my fault
your pregnant.
I'm hungover.
Can you stop making the noise?
Just hold on. Can you hold on?
Oh, fuck!
Oh, my god!
Are you alright?
Yeah.
Alright. OK.
Oh, god.
Sweet.
I need some Mentos or something.
My breath smells like puke.
Y'might score some biodynamic mint.
Hey.
Hey. You'll be fine.
Whatever happens, I'm going to be
Sorry, it's Avery.
It's alright, I'll get it later.
No, take it. Talk to her now.
Are you sure?
Yeah, I'm good.
You go for a wander? I'll be
Hey, hi.
I'm putting your stuff in storage.
What? Wait a sec, why
Lucky, is that a conga drum?
A Djembe, I think.
I'm at this gorgeous little market
in a town called Gungardie.
You know what?
I don't even care.
Come on, Ave,
just I'm coming home tomorrow.
Can't we just talk about it then?
What about, Lucky? Hm?
The lying or the drinking problem?
Or is it the secret relationship
with the pregnant teen?
Whoa, was that my
Was that my Maton?
If you cared about our relationship
as much as you do these
fucking guitars.
It's a 1977 limited edition, babe.
When you get back tomorrow,
you're shit's going to be
in 2x2 at Kennards.
So, whatever you've got to say,
can you just say it now?
Hi.
Can I help you?
Um, yes
These are cool.
Do you know who makes them?
Oh, we do.
Right, and you're
We're a poly-spiritual
anti-capitalist
intentional community.
Nice. Catchy.
Nice. Catchy.
Yeah, we hold monthly
seeding seminars in town
if you're interested.
"'Sowe', nourish, grow".
Sow.
Oh, sow?!
We sow the seeds of enlightenment.
Y'know, if you buy one of those,
they throw in
a brainwashing for free.
Geert, can you please
What? I'm allowed to offer samples.
Puffy poffertjes.
You come visit us,
brand new location,
down by the toilets.
Have a lovely day.
Yeah, sorry about him.
Um, where were we?
I'm actually looking for someone,
and I think that she makes these,
and I just wanted to know
if you had any information.
Oh, I couldn't help you with that.
Well, she She
Yeah, if you've got
any more questions,
the seeding seminar's your best bet.
I've given up drinking.
What, since the banana dick pics
you sent me at 3am?
Yes.
Well, it's not about
the drinking, Lucky.
It's about the shit
that you don't talk about
that makes you drink,
that makes me want throw
this fucking Maton out the window.
Those windows aren't wide enough
to throw a Maton
Those windows aren't wide enough
to throw a Maton
Lucky, just try not
to be funny for one second!
Jesus Christ.
I mean, I fell in love with you
because you're funny, but
I thought it was my bum.
It's pathological avoidance.
This wall that comes up every time
anything is asked of you.
I mean, like,
whenever I want to talk about,
I don't know, our future,
or, god forbid, kids.
Just this fucking wall.
OK.
Look, Ave
..there is a thing.
It's about Billie.
Billie? Your niece?
Yeah, well, that's kind of the
..You know how I've been
..kind of anxious about her coming?
And Toby was ringing
I'm sorry
..You bolted because, what, um
..You're anxious about a visit
from your 12-year-old niece?
Yeah. Sort of. It's more
Jesus Christ,
no wonder you can talk about kids.
Jesus Christ,
no wonder you can talk about kids.
You're barely functional enough
to come up with a decent lie.
It's not a lie.
It's It's just
People only have kids because life
is fundamentally meaningless,
and kids are meaning-shaped things
that fit into their
meaningless holes.
Well, I'm glad I'm not going
to be throwing
any of my ten remaining eggs
into your meaningless hole, Lucky.
No, Ave, I was just joking.
Don't hang
Oi, Lucky!
I found something. Come on!
Come on, Fucky. Hurry up.
Hashtag TastyPoff.
Post your poff pictures today.
Five for seven, seven for ten.
No? I respect that.
What the? Wait it
It was right here.
What?
It was right here?
What do you
What do you
Hey! Wait!
Mate!
That is fucking weird.
What now?
Poffertjes.
Awesome.
Goedemorgen.
Five for seven, seven for ten.
Those scammers?
Why'd you want to know about them?
We're looking for someone,
and I think they might know
where she is.
They took her too?
Danke.
Remember to post your poff pictures,
hashtag TastyPoff!!
They brainwashed my wife
into joining their little cult.
Cult?
Sorry 'Intentional community'.
Where is this place?
It's up the river, in the forest.
It's like their Ewoks or something.
Could you show us where it is?
Yeah. I can show you the track,
but it's rough.
Yeah. I can show you the track,
but it's rough.
You'll need a good four-wheel drive.
Meg
You will be home tomorrow. OK?
Sunday latest.
If I don't
You'll be home with a day to spare.
OK? I promise.
She's there. I know she is.
Hashtag Tastypoffs!
I don't suppose you'd know
where we can get a four-wheel drive?
Do it your way.
Flip it and hit the latch,
very gently.
Argh!
Just be careful. Hands.
Sorry.
OK. Let's ride, bitches.
Oppsie daisy!
Ha, okay.
Who was it you lost?
My mum.
My mum.
Ah monsters.
How long is this drive?
Ah, three, four hours,
depending on the track
..and the weather
..and luck.
Monsters!
OK.
So, how was it with Avery?
Fairly terminal, I would say.
Does she know you're Billie's dad?
Billie doesn't even know
I'm Billie's dad.
Well, bizarrely,
the topic of fathering a child
to my brother's wife,
hasn't come up.
You know?
You know?
It's just all this fucking lying
that adults do.
You reckon you're protecting people,
but you're just pussies.
Well, you'll find that the truth
get's a bit more complicated
as you get older.
Oh, thank you.
Thank you, Mr Wise Old Wizard Man.
Are you guys OK back there?
You need more A/C? It's dual zone.
Yes, please.
I was thinking that
if they do let you in,
maybe you can get a message
to my wife, Tammy.
What do you mean, "If"?
Oh, yeah.
Well, they are very paranoid
about outsiders.
They only need
one weakness to prey on.
With Tammy it was her weight.
I mean she's full figured, you know?
I mean, we're bakers,
for Christ sake!
But she does this course
and they say, you know,
"God wants you to have
1,400 calories a day",
or some twaddle like this.
And fine, OK,
I use the wholemeal spelt whatever,
- just for her
- Hey, darlin'.
Look, I know you're angry But
That's not enough.
Suddenly she needs space.
There's something
you need to know about your Mum.
You need to know about your Mum.
So, here I am. She's left me.
Taken out an AVO,
calling me a dikzak
and this and that.
Sorry, what was that?
"Dikzak". It means, 'Fat Bag'.
No, the AVO bit.
She took out
a restraining order on you?
Yeah. Can you believe it?
Yeah, but why? What did you do?
Emotional abuse, they said.
Can you stop the car?
What, because I cry too loudly?
Geert! Can you stop the car?
I think we need to
Just stop the fucking car!
Why?
What's going on?
Get out. Get out.
I'm getting out.
Shut up for a sec.
Meg
I have a poop shovel if you need!
I need to get higher.
What's going on?
I need reception. It's Dad.
Where are you going?
Well, why don't you just
Careful of the nature!
Are you OK?
I'm fine.
Why don't you just take it
a bit easier?
Why?
Well, because you're
What, you want it to be
healthy abortion?
Jesus. No, I'm not worried
about that embryo.
Jesus. No, I'm not worried
about that embryo.
I'm worried about you.
Argh!
Shit me! Fuck!
Even the plants here are arseholes.
There's something
you need to know about your mum.
She, um
She actually did
come back for a bit.
You were six, and
..The social worker said
that kids can sometimes
block stuff out, or whatever.
Anyway, so, one day,
there she was
..at the front door, with a bag.
She was happy and clear and
..It was nice. It was really nice
..for a couple of weeks
..'til, I don't know, um
..Hey, do you remember
when you had the cast on your leg?
Well, one day, I got home from work,
and the place was empty,
and the place was empty,
and the Toyota was gone.
And I thought, you know,
maybe she's taken you out
for an ice cream.
But then
..then the cops called.
She'd come off the road,
flipped the car,
just south of Coongoola,
And she was trying to take youse
..from me.
I mean, you You were all OK,
except for your bleeding, but.
Anyway
..I should have told you before.
It's just Call me back, yeah?
Meg.
We should go.
Go where?
I just remember it was itchy.
The cast. I had to
..scratch it with a chopstick.
It's kinda funny how you and me
are only here right now
cause of two car crashes.
Well, probably heaps of others
we don't know about.
Anyway it's a foetus.
What?
Well, I'm nine weeks pregnant..
..So, it's officially a foetus.
It's not an embryo.
Right.
Lucky!
Shit!
Lucky!
I know you're out there!
I don't even know them.
Lucky!
If you don't come down right now,
I swear to god,
I'm going to spear this guy
in the fucking leg!
I just make poffertjes.
Lucky, what did you
actually do to this guy?
Nothing.
Nothing.
Nothing much.
I thought you said
it was a couple of pounds.
Yeah.
'A couple' means two.
Yeah, not always.
Yes, always.
As in, "Look at that lovely couple
holding hands".
As in a rhyming couplet
So, if you say,
"See you in a couple of minutes”
you're literally gone
for two minutes on the dot, are ya?
No, but says we've got to collect
a couple of pounds of
methamphetamine,
I'm expecting
two fucking pounds of it,
not whatever the fuck this is!!
Well, whatever it weighs,
it's a couple of months' debt
paid off for you, isn't it?
You smuggled meth?
No.
Lucky!
Well, technically, yes.
Now!
I'm going to count to 40,
and if you don't come down
straight away
Wait, wait Why 40?
Why 40?
Because 30's too quick.
I thought about it.
He might be ages away.
Then why not five minutes,
or something?
Then why not five minutes,
or something?
Have you ever counted to 300,
you dipshit?
It takes, like, forever.
No, no. It would take five minutes.
Sixty seconds and that is it!
You have to help him.
You have to go down there.
That guy is abusive.
His wife took out
a restraining order on him.
For crying!
That's what HE says.
Duncan's here because of you. Go!
Don't you victim blame me.
I'm drug smuggler-blaming you!
Fine. Fucking fine.
But you go back up the hill.
Call the cops.
No, they'll take, like,
two hours to get here!
Have you got a better idea?
Yes. Go!
No you go.
Go!
I'm not fucking moving. Go.
46 46
..45
..44
..43
..42, 41.
I'm here, I'm here. I'm here
Duncan.
G'day, buddy.
It's been a while.
What was that?
What was that?
What?
Is that
Oh, shit!
Come on. Go take it, take it
No, no, no, no.
I can't swim.
What do you mean, you can't swim?
You're always fishing.
Yes, from a fuckin' boat!
This is the police.
Stay were you are!
Don't move!
Lucky
Lucky!
I spent 26 months in that jail
because of you.
To be fair,
you were trafficking class A drugs.
Not so much as a fucking day visit
or a phone call.
And do you know what's really funny,
like, LOL, fucking hilarious?
Every week night
when I was inside,
guess what we all used to watch?
Channel 9, 7:30,
every night, like church.
'Precinct Seventeen'
'Precinct Seventeen'?
With Avery Mae.
And then one day,
I'm having a poo,
And then one day,
I'm having a poo,
flicking through some TV mag,
and there she is, Avery Mae,
and lo, there next to her
is your stupid fucking
traitorous head.
I mean Come on!
Dunc, I am sorry I left,
but I had to. OK?
You had to. Right. Got it.
It's true. I had a daughter.
Oh, bullshit.
I did.
I do.
You're lying.
I swear, I can show you a photo.
Oh, yeah?
Then how come I never met her?
She lives in Perth with her mum.
Look, here, this is her.
She's playing footy.
AFL. That is not football.
She has your eyes.
You reckon?
So, you abandoned her too then, hey?
No.
It's tricky.
It's tricky?,
Is it a little bit tricky?
Do you know what else is tricky?
Prison.
Prison.
Prison's fucking tricky!
Hey, what can I do to
..to make it up to you?
Reparations.
Reparations?
Yeah, the Pajero.
I'll take that Pajero.
No, it's my Pajero.
It's his Pajero.
Oh, shit!
What I needed was a mate
and I thought we were friends!
We are friends.
Whoa! Whoa!
No, no, no, no, no!
Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa,
whoa, whoa!
You people are insane!
No, wait, wait, wait,
wait, wait, wait, wait!
You've got our stuff!

Duncan!
Come here!
Duncan!
Oi!
Don't do it!
Oh, so we're all
fucking swimmers, are we?
Duncan!
Come on, mate. Let's just
You know what?
Guys like you need
to be held accountable
for their actions.
You're right. OK. You're right.
I fucked things up and I run off.
I I I I leave so that
I don't have to deal
with the aftermath.
No!
People.
You fuck people up.
Yeah.
People. You're right. So
..And I need to learn my lesson.
So, why don't we just sit down
and we can talk
Well, let's Let's call that even.

It's not a lie.
It's It's just
People only have kids because life
is fundamentally meaningless,
and kids are meaning-shaped things
that fit into their
meaningless holes.
Well, I'm glad I'm not going
to be throwing
any of my ten remaining eggs
into your meaningless hole, Lucky.
No, Ave, I was just joking.
Don't hang
Oi, Lucky!
I found something. Come on!
Come on, Fucky. Hurry up.
Hashtag TastyPoff.
Post your poff pictures today.
Five for seven, seven for ten.
No? I respect that.
What the? Wait it
It was right here.
What?
It was right here?
What do you
What do you
Hey! Wait!
Mate!
That is fucking weird.
What now?
Poffertjes.
Awesome.
Goedemorgen.
Five for seven, seven for ten.
Those scammers?
Why'd you want to know about them?
We're looking for someone,
and I think they might know
where she is.
They took her too?
Danke.
Remember to post your poff pictures,
hashtag TastyPoff!!
They brainwashed my wife
into joining their little cult.
Cult?
Sorry 'Intentional community'.
Where is this place?
It's up the river, in the forest.
It's like their Ewoks or something.
Could you show us where it is?
Yeah. I can show you the track,
but it's rough.
Yeah. I can show you the track,
but it's rough.
You'll need a good four-wheel drive.
Meg
You will be home tomorrow. OK?
Sunday latest.
If I don't
You'll be home with a day to spare.
OK? I promise.
She's there. I know she is.
Hashtag Tastypoffs!
I don't suppose you'd know
where we can get a four-wheel drive?
Do it your way.
Flip it and hit the latch,
very gently.
Argh!
Just be careful. Hands.
Sorry.
OK. Let's ride, bitches.
Oppsie daisy!
Ha, okay.
Who was it you lost?
My mum.
My mum.
Ah monsters.
How long is this drive?
Ah, three, four hours,
depending on the track
..and the weather
..and luck.
Monsters!
OK.
So, how was it with Avery?
Fairly terminal, I would say.
Does she know you're Billie's dad?
Billie doesn't even know
I'm Billie's dad.
Well, bizarrely,
the topic of fathering a child
to my brother's wife,
hasn't come up.
You know?
You know?
It's just all this fucking lying
that adults do.
You reckon you're protecting people,
but you're just pussies.
Well, you'll find that the truth
get's a bit more complicated
as you get older.
Oh, thank you.
Thank you, Mr Wise Old Wizard Man.
Are you guys OK back there?
You need more A/C? It's dual zone.
Yes, please.
I was thinking that
if they do let you in,
maybe you can get a message
to my wife, Tammy.
What do you mean, "If"?
Oh, yeah.
Well, they are very paranoid
about outsiders.
They only need
one weakness to prey on.
With Tammy it was her weight.
I mean she's full figured, you know?
I mean, we're bakers,
for Christ sake!
But she does this course
and they say, you know,
"God wants you to have
1,400 calories a day",
or some twaddle like this.
And fine, OK,
I use the wholemeal spelt whatever,
- just for her
- Hey, darlin'.
Look, I know you're angry But
That's not enough.
Suddenly she needs space.
There's something
you need to know about your Mum.
You need to know about your Mum.
So, here I am. She's left me.
Taken out an AVO,
calling me a dikzak
and this and that.
Sorry, what was that?
"Dikzak". It means, 'Fat Bag'.
No, the AVO bit.
She took out
a restraining order on you?
Yeah. Can you believe it?
Yeah, but why? What did you do?
Emotional abuse, they said.
Can you stop the car?
What, because I cry too loudly?
Geert! Can you stop the car?
I think we need to
Just stop the fucking car!
Why?
What's going on?
Get out. Get out.
I'm getting out.
Shut up for a sec.
Meg
I have a poop shovel if you need!
I need to get higher.
What's going on?
I need reception. It's Dad.
Where are you going?
Well, why don't you just
Careful of the nature!
Are you OK?
I'm fine.
Why don't you just take it
a bit easier?
Why?
Well, because you're
What, you want it to be
healthy abortion?
Jesus. No, I'm not worried
about that embryo.
Jesus. No, I'm not worried
about that embryo.
I'm worried about you.
Argh!
Shit me! Fuck!
Even the plants here are arseholes.
There's something
you need to know about your mum.
She, um
She actually did
come back for a bit.
You were six, and
..The social worker said
that kids can sometimes
block stuff out, or whatever.
Anyway, so, one day,
there she was
..at the front door, with a bag.
She was happy and clear and
..It was nice. It was really nice
..for a couple of weeks
..'til, I don't know, um
..Hey, do you remember
when you had the cast on your leg?
Well, one day, I got home from work,
and the place was empty,
and the place was empty,
and the Toyota was gone.
And I thought, you know,
maybe she's taken you out
for an ice cream.
But then
..then the cops called.
She'd come off the road,
flipped the car,
just south of Coongoola,
And she was trying to take youse
..from me.
I mean, you You were all OK,
except for your bleeding, but.
Anyway
..I should have told you before.
It's just Call me back, yeah?
Meg.
We should go.
Go where?
I just remember it was itchy.
The cast. I had to
..scratch it with a chopstick.
It's kinda funny how you and me
are only here right now
cause of two car crashes.
Well, probably heaps of others
we don't know about.
Anyway it's a foetus.
What?
Well, I'm nine weeks pregnant..
..So, it's officially a foetus.
It's not an embryo.
Right.
Lucky!
Shit!
Lucky!
I know you're out there!
I don't even know them.
Lucky!
If you don't come down right now,
I swear to god,
I'm going to spear this guy
in the fucking leg!
I just make poffertjes.
Lucky, what did you
actually do to this guy?
Nothing.
Nothing.
Nothing much.
I thought you said
it was a couple of pounds.
Yeah.
'A couple' means two.
Yeah, not always.
Yes, always.
As in, "Look at that lovely couple
holding hands".
As in a rhyming couplet
So, if you say,
"See you in a couple of minutes”
you're literally gone
for two minutes on the dot, are ya?
No, but says we've got to collect
a couple of pounds of
methamphetamine,
I'm expecting
two fucking pounds of it,
not whatever the fuck this is!!
Well, whatever it weighs,
it's a couple of months' debt
paid off for you, isn't it?
You smuggled meth?
No.
Lucky!
Well, technically, yes.
Now!
I'm going to count to 40,
and if you don't come down
straight away
Wait, wait Why 40?
Why 40?
Because 30's too quick.
I thought about it.
He might be ages away.
Then why not five minutes,
or something?
Then why not five minutes,
or something?
Have you ever counted to 300,
you dipshit?
It takes, like, forever.
No, no. It would take five minutes.
Sixty seconds and that is it!
You have to help him.
You have to go down there.
That guy is abusive.
His wife took out
a restraining order on him.
For crying!
That's what HE says.
Duncan's here because of you. Go!
Don't you victim blame me.
I'm drug smuggler-blaming you!
Fine. Fucking fine.
But you go back up the hill.
Call the cops.
No, they'll take, like,
two hours to get here!
Have you got a better idea?
Yes. Go!
No you go.
Go!
I'm not fucking moving. Go.
46 46

You're always fishing.
Yes, from a fuckin' boat!
This is the police.
Stay were you are!
Don't move!
Lucky
Lucky!
I spent 26 months in that jail
because of you.
To be fair,
you were trafficking class A drugs.
Not so much as a fucking day visit
or a phone call.
And do you know what's really funny,
like, LOL, fucking hilarious?
Every week night
when I was inside,
guess what we all used to watch?
Channel 9, 7:30,
every night, like church.
'Precinct Seventeen'
'Precinct Seventeen'?
With Avery Mae.
And then one day,
I'm having a poo,
And then one day,

She lives in Perth with her mum.

AFL. That is not football.
She has your eyes.
You reckon?

Do you know what else is tricky?
Prison.

Reparations.

for their actions.
You're right. OK. You're right.

with the aftermath.
