I'm coming home tomorrow.
Can't we just talk about it then?
What about, Lucky?
The lying? Or the drinking problem?
I'm actually looking for someone
and I think that she makes these.
Oh, I couldn't help you with that.
Hey, wait! Mate!
They brainwashed my wife
into joining their little cult.
Could you show us where it is?
Monsters!
ANDY: There's something
you need to know about your mum.
She did come back for a bit.
DUNCAN: Lucky!
I know you're out there.
I swear to God I'll spear this guy
in the fucking neck!
No, no, no!
Motherfucker!

We're not but we could be.
We're not but we could be.
Or cannonballs, human cannonballs.

A little piece of peace.

Off with the barefoots.
Up the river.
Up the creek to find a paddle.
(CHUCKLES)
Barefoots?

Pilgrims and suits and pale women.
Up the river they choof,

He might be hurt.
Night's comin'.

(SQUIRREL MUMBLES ALONG
WITH THE SONG)
There are no roads.
The river's a road.
Yeah, you know what they say,
the only way out is up.
Or is it death?
Or through.
Eugh.
The only way out is
Oh, I never remember.
Aren't you lonely?
Me?
(LAUGHS)
I'm not alone.
Nope.
I've got m'books, got m'music.

Oh, he's got a spear in his tit.
Yep.
(SIGHS)
Has it got a barb?
It's got a barb.
Mmm.
It's got a barb.
(LUCKY GROANS)
What does that mean?
Well, you know what they say,
don't you?
The only way out is death.
What!
I mean up.
Shouldn't we take him
to the hospital?
(SCOFFS)
No hospital.
(BEC BLOWS A RASPBERRY)
Hospital?
Well then, what do we do?
(STRAINS)
Don't you have a phone?
Christ, he's dense!
Or like, an emergency radio
or something?
SQUIRREL: Just keep him upright.
That's the ticket.
SQUIRREL: Just keep him upright.
That's the ticket.
Hold his arms out.
Not up, out. Like Jesus.
That's it. Nice and wide.
Like Jesus on the cross
with a spear in his side.
Only in our case it's his tit.
And this spear,
this one's got a barb
which I don't suppose
the Romans had.
We'll have to look it up.
Well, girly, we know what they say,
don't ya
The only way out is
Eugh!
Through.
(SPEAR CLATTERS ONTO FLOOR)
Eugh!
(THUNDER CRASHES)
(METAL ON ROTARY GRINDING)
BEC: Ahh, first set of tits

(COLIN GRUNTS)
Thank you, Colin.
But are these What are
What are these?
Painkillers Mum got 'em.
You need a prescription and shit.
Right. Maybe I shouldn't have
They'll make you feel better.
Are you sure? I wouldn't wanna
I've got no use for 'em anymore
I've got no use for 'em anymore
Not since Parsnip died.
Parsnip?
BEC: A croc took a chunk
out of her foreleg.
We tried to save her but
Parsnip's a horse?
Does it hurt?
Yeah, it fuckin' kills.
Are you OK?
Well, I lost one of my Docs
and I'm dressed like
Bob the fuckin' Builder
so what do you reckon?
And the pig's lookin' at me
kinda funny.
I meant about your dad's voicemail.
(BEC SIGHS)
Youse are lucky, eh?
How's that?
We're gonna do a supply run tomorrow
anyway so we can drop youse in town.
No, no, it's all good.
We don't need to
Thank you, that'd be fantastic.
Here we go!
Here you are.
Thank you.
Hey! No grub without grace.
BEC: Mm-hm.
(SQUIRREL EXHALES)
You got a grace for us, girlie?
What about you, Jesus?
What about you, Jesus?
Lucky.
No, I don't believe in anything.
(THUNDER RUMBLES)
(MOBILES TINKLE)
It's funny how they say that you put
an edge on a knife.
You know, when we sharpen it.
You're not putting anything on,
you're taking it off.
Every time you sharpen it, you're
removing microscopic pieces of it.
A tiny little bit of destruction
so that it can be the best version
of itself, every time.
So it can move through what it needs
to move through
with the least resistance.
Amen.
(RAIN PATTERS)
(CUTLERY AND PLATES CLANK)
Can you not?
What?
What?
("I'VE BEEN AROUND TOO LONG"

What!
Raise.
I'll fold.
Yes! Drink, bitch.
Drink, drink.
Drink, drink, drink, drink.
Yeah!
(LAUGHTER)
ANDY, VOICE ECHOING:
One day, there she was.
And she was happy
and clear and it was nice.
YOUNG MEG: Why?
Well, she just is, Meggles.
She gave birth to you.
(MOBILE TINKLES)
What's "gave birth"?
Well, um
You know how
babies grow in ladies' tummies?
Well, you grew in Linda's tummy.
But Linda doesn't know me.
How did she get me in her tummy?
Come on, mate,
you're supposed to be asleep.
I'll explain it all tomorrow, right?
Is Linda staying?
Well, do you mind if she does?
No.
She's got nice eyes.
She does.
But she's not my mum.
(MUSIC BLARES)
Just deal, ya dickhead.
I need to piss.
(BEC LAUGHS)
(THUMP)
Whoa!
(BEC SNORTS)
Towny blokes are such pussies!
(MOCKING)
I live in the city.
I shave my balls but I can't handle
a few drinks
and a couple of horse
tranquillisers.
I don't shave my balls.
Yes, you fuckin' do.
I wax them.

(CRICKETS CHIRP)
(SQUIRREL GRUNTS)
In our day we used to drink
the whole nine months.
Whole nine yards.
All nine holes.
Never did our babies any harm.
(BANGING AND LAUGHTER)
BEC: Ow!
Eugh! Well.
Yeah, I don't reckon I'm gonna go
the whole nine yards.
That why you wanna go
and see your mama, eh?
Doesn't look like
I'm doing that neither.
Mmm.
Well
she's not the one
you're lookin' for.
BEC: Oi!
LUCKY: Hey, whose is this?
(HIGH PITCHED VOICE)
Whose is this?
BEC: Oh, fuckin', here we go.
Here we go.
Oh, mate, he thinks he's Bono.
Yeah, no. Fuck Bono.
(MUSIC ON TAPE STOPS ABRUPTLY)
You talk any more shit about Bono,
I'll cut off your balls and turn 'em
into a little coin purse.
OK.
(COLIN SNARLS)
Go on, then.

Can I just say goodbye, Andy?
Please.
Look, maybe in a few months,
alright?
It won't be a few months.
(CRUTCH CLATTERS)
Oh, hi. Hey, baby girl.
How's your leg?
Itchy.
But everyone signed it.
Well, that's good. That's good.
Sweetie,
I'm going away for a bit now
and I just wanted to say that
I love you, always.
(APPROACHING FOOTSTEPS CRUNCH)
(LUCKY CHUCKLES)
It's funny, isn't it?
What? What's funny?
What? What's funny?
(SLURRING) Like you were saying,
the ink lines.
It's like the sins of my past
have caught up with me and
(LAUGHS)
now we're here.
It's funny.
Yeah, it's fucking hilarious. Yep.
This probably is for the best
though. You know that.
That we have to go back 'cause
You know, 'cause your mum
was so fucked up.
You're fucking gross
when you're drunk.
And fucking pathetic.
Like, do you know
how pathetic it is?
At like, 50 or whatever?
And to be fucking miserable
unless you're pissed or you have
people looking at you?
Like, you take a clap from a pig
hunter over an actual
Like, you take a clap from a pig
hunter over an actual
(SLURRING)) You're being
logically furious with me right now.
I don't know why you're being so
Because you're giving up!
You said you'd help me.
We don't have a choice!
I have a hole in me
and we don't have a car
and my phone doesn't work
and I don't have a fucking clue
where we are.
And sometimes things just
don't work out the way you want.
You have to know when to fold.
Fold!
Mate, well, you're the fucking
expert on that, aren't you?
(CRICKETS CHIRP)
(RECEDING FOOTSTEPS)
"You'd rather
take a clap from a pig hunter."
"You'd rather

That is a lyric.
I should write that down.

Oh, great.
Brilliant. This is
This is an excellent plan.
Fuck off.
You're gonna steal
that nice old lady's boat.
I'm borrowing it.
I know what you're doing, Meg.
You think, now you've got me
wrapped around your little finger
you think I'm gonna come with you
'cause you think that I'm not gonna
let you go off on a boat by yourself
in the night in a crocodiley river
while you're pregnant.
I don't want you to come.
Oh, well, that's handy
because guess what?
(MEG STRAINS)
I'm not coming.
Good. Piss off, then.
OK. Bye. See ya.
Yeah, go play drinking games
with you mates. You fucking legend.
I just want to go home.
Then why are you still here?

Meg?
Look at me.
Did you hear what your
dad's message said?
Did you understand it?
She came back.
She
(SCOFFS)
She came back and almost killed you.
Jesus, Meg, mate, what do you think
is waiting for you up this river?
If by some miracle
we find this fucking place,
do you think you're gonna
do a slow-mo flower petaled run
into each other's open arms
and sing a duet?
It's It's brutal but you
have to understand that
she doesn't wanna meet you.
And mate, I don't understand why
you would wanna meet her
'Cause fuck her!
Because why shouldn't she
have to meet me?
Why does she not have to face me?
Why does she get out?
I I
I have to carry all this crap
and she just gets to bail
and live in the fucking trees?
No.
Her son's dead. OK?
And I'm, I'm fucking tired.
So she's gonna have to carry
some of it. Fuck her.
And fuck you!
And fuck Dad.
And fuck all you fuckin' useless
self-obsessed fucking liars.
You fucking coward.
I feel so sorry for Billie
the day that she finds out
that her real dad is such a pathetic
piece of shit.
