Where'd all the money go? You're looking at my "I've had the most incredible idea" face.
It involves your Janome.
Fuckin' hell, Garry.
Oi.
These your mates? I'm not coming back, dad.
I've been sad in that house my entire life.
You and mum make me so bloody sad.
I don't know.
You are a complete stranger to me.
I don't what to do with you anymore.
It's over to you now, Debbie.
For better or for worse, you are in charge of your life.
Oi, my brother round here? Nah, he's got some stupid plan.
He's hitting you pretty hard.
Just trying to keep my mind off shit, now.
Keeps on creeping back in.
They have these moon dances.
Out in the fields.
Under a full moon.
Just dancing, and being Let's do it.
Let's do it! I had a dream.
You were an old man and all you ate were apples.
And I owned an apple orchard.
Makes perfect sense to me.
Sorry, Bruce and I have to go surfing.
- No - I promised him.
Bruce.
Bruce.
Brucey! Shit.
Brucey.
I'm gonna surf.
What? Shouldn't we call the police or an ambulance or something? I'll call his brother.
What, so we just leave him here? Where's he gonna go? This one's called the supple bird.
Oh, yeah? Are you laughing at a centuries-old tradition? I am laughing at an idiot.
An idiot who brought you breakfast.
What'd you get me? Chocolate Moove, Violet Crumble.
Well, take a seat, young man, because that's my favourite breakfast.
Good.
Do you write stuff down that I like? No.
That would be A good idea.
Then, yes, I do.
Hey, Gary.
Hey.
Woody, would you Take a walk while you two sit and talk intensely.
Yes, I can.
What's wrong? Bruce is dead.
What? He OD'd in the shack.
Woke up, he was dead.
Do you ever think about leaving? What? What if we went north? What if we just went to Byron Bay? I gotta go to the shed.
I gotta make sure he's OK.
I don't think I wanna come.
There's nothing you can do anyway.
What are they? Hey! What are they? They're scratches.
Um a possum got loose in the surgery.
It was My kitten's eye is missing from the jigsaw.
Why would they sell it without an eye? I honestly have no idea, darling.
Hey, you wanna go to the club tonight? I miss you when I'm in the city.
Well, I could always come to the city on a Friday night.
That's a great idea.
Let's plan that.
While I eat the eggs you should have been cooking me five minutes ago.
Maybe a possum will get into the house this week.
Been looking for you! I'm really sorry, Dad.
It's OK.
We'll sort it out.
It's OK.
I just feel like ripping my heart out at the roots right now.
Hey.
I'll throw Cheryl out.
Dad, it's not about Cheryl.
I don't know, I just I'm trying to figure out what I wanna do.
I just really wanted to see you.
I think I might go to Sue's.
Debbie.
- Hi, Dad.
- Oh, hi.
There's a Japanese man in the car.
Yes, there is.
Lori! - Dad, you didn't say! - Be quiet.
It's a birthday surprise for Pammy.
- We're here for a week.
- Oh, shit! Come and meet Yuki.
Sue said I was invited.
It's very hard for me not to punch you in the face whenever I see you.
I get that a lot, actually.
Hey, Boardy.
Mum's gonna die.
I'll just spit it out.
I keep expecting him to yawn.
Don't, don't.
Don't.
Oi, Mum can't know he was a junkie.
What if, um .
.
he was surfing and he just got lost out there? She'd prefer a drowned son instead of a junkie son.
Do you know what mark I'd need in the HSC to do teaching? - Teaching? - Primary.
High school would be a nightmare.
Kids like me? Ugh.
Are you serious about this, Cheryl? You wanna be a teacher? Bent, isn't it? But, yeah, if I get the marks.
Uh, 240.
You'd wanna do your BA and then get your Dip Ed.
- It enlarges your options.
- 240.
Thanks.
Hi, sweetheart.
How was the sea? Cheryl, go clean your room.
Yes, sir! Now! I saw Debbie at the rocks.
Judy, you need to deal with this.
I will not lose my daughter.
We'll throw Cheryl out and you will bring her back.
Calm down, Martin.
We're not throwing Cheryl out.
She wants to be a teacher.
Isn't that great? See what happens when you show faith in someone? They feel that.
Debbie.
II'll talk to her.
We just need to have a heart-to-heart.
I'll take care of it.
You'd better.
Ahh! Morning, birthday girl.
Girl? I'm 40, Rog! I am no girl anymore.
You'll always be that girl who flashed her tits at me down the oval in Year 10, my darling.
Yeah, except now I do it, you'll have to look at my knees to see 'em.
Don't say that.
It worries me.
Bikinis good? Well, I think they're great.
Money Cat Enterprises is go.
No, no, no.
You need to show more bum.
- The kids want that.
- How do you know? - Well, I go down the beach - Yeah, look at women's arses? No, it's more research, really.
No, seriously, just a bit less.
Yeah, but darling, you've gotta contain the bush, Rog.
I mean, any less and everyone's gonna have to be spick and span down there.
Just a bit less.
And when you're finished up, will you come out to the pool? I got a little surprise for you.
Hurry up.
I like Woody.
He's better than that Danny dickhead.
Pammy! Come out, will ya? Pammy? Hurry up, come outside! I'm coming! - Hurry up! - See, I told you, Rog! Look at this! There is more bush than the Kokoda Track down here.
I'm poking out ev - Mum! - Lori! Oh, my God! Sweet Jesus! Woody, Yuki, avert your gazes.
Kids around, darling.
Cover yourself up.
What are you doing here, darling? Surprise! Let's have a bit of shampoo.
Well, it's the best birthday present ever.
Come here, darling! I asked Gary about leaving.
What? I think we should all go to Byron Bay together.
Gary could surf.
We could swim.
I can't believe you.
That's our thing.
I was thinking that you could ask Woody to come too.
No, I wouldn't do that.
Because if I was gonna go anywhere, it'd be like we've always planned, you and me.
- Yes, you, me.
Us.
- And Gary.
He hasn't even said yes yet.
I don't wanna be someone who follows behind and chats to you when you're not rooting or pashing.
Because I've got a boyfriend.
A really nice boyfriend.
I shouldn't have asked Gary first.
But you have to admit that getting out of here seems like a pretty great idea right now.
Part of me died every day you were gone.
Then come.
Let's leave.
Come on! I bought these for 50.
My granddad breeds them for free.
Every pig sold is 100% pure profit.
How's business? Not good.
Think I might try ferrets.
Mum's not home.
You can stop the act.
Young Debbie.
Where have you been? Your mum's been worried about you.
I doubt it.
I can't please her anymore, so I am going to stop trying and leave that up to you.
You know my mum hasn't even tried to see me since I left? Didn't you root her boyfriend, Cheryl? Sorry, I really don't wanna be a bitch anymore.
Your mum is nice.
She's tough, but she cares about a dumb moll like me.
And your dad He hasn't even tried to root me.
No, he wouldn't.
Oh, hello.
Hi.
You home? Yep.
Uh, we're going to the club later.
Would you like to come? Yeah, sounds great.
Great.
Good.
Told you she'd come back.
Cheryl, hop out for a second.
- What? - Just do it.
You two, sort this out.
We need to come to an arrangement about Cheryl living with us.
I know it's hard, but she's not like you.
She needs help.
Yeah, I know.
I know I can be hard on you.
No, you just care about me.
And I've done some pretty crazy things lately.
Mmm.
Yes.
You know how you've always wanted me to believe in a big life? And you can have it.
We've hit a few speed bumps, but now it's time to get back on track and focus on school.
I'm actually leaving school.
You're not.
I think I wanna travel.
You're acting out because you're angry with me.
You're gonna ruin everything.
I'm not angry.
I'm actually really grateful, because I know now that I can do anything, have any kind of life, because of you.
I imagine a big life, it's just not the one you imagined for me.
I can't help but worry about you.
I'm gonna have Sue and Gary.
Well, that essentially is no comfort to me.
Sorry.
So, Woody, hypothetical question.
Say I invited you to come along and run away with me.
Would you say yes? Um Got exams soon.
I've gotta get into vet science.
I could manage a week as long as I studied while I was away.
It's more of a study-free adventure, where we dance in fields, sing for our supper and howl at the moon while riding dolphins sort of thing.
I don't think I can.
That's OK.
I wasn't sure I wanted you to say yes.
Was that a test? Oh, I think I like the idea that you'd be so swept away by your love for me that you'd abandon everything.
Between December 18 and March 1 next year, I would be.
Does this mean I'm dropped? No.
You're too good a boyfriend to be dropped.
We can be swept away by love on the holidays.
So it's all OK with Debbie? She's, uh she's leaving school.
- What? - She wants to go travelling.
You were supposed to make it alright.
She's made up her mind.
Then change it for her! I can't.
She's not nine anymore.
Martin, we have spent a year trying to control her.
And what happens? She just fights us every inch and moves further and further away from us.
I think she's gonna be fine.
She'll probably be more than fine.
She'll probably have a life that'll make me so jealous I could spit.
So we just do nothing? Let's get a drink.
I asked Woody to come.
He said he has exams.
I didn't mean to tell Gary.
It's just No, it's OK.
I realised that I want Gary to come.
Because you'll be crying and mooning for weeks otherwise.
And I will say, "Oh, look at that cloud!" And you'll say, "Oh, looks like Gary.
" Yep.
Thanks.
Hey, Mrs Candy.
I can't hang with youse molls.
Gotta go upstairs.
Greg and I are having tea.
I'll bring you down some Island Coolers if you like.
Why don't you bring me down some old man's dick? Oh, look, there's one you sucked earlier.
Don't be so immature.
- You know Mr Kirsten? - Woodwork teacher? Charlie.
One of Greg's mates.
His wife left him.
He's looking for someone.
Why doesn't he hump my dead body after I kill myself at the thought of that? Let's go, Greg.
'Bye, Greg! The boys are gonna bury Bruce at sea.
- What? Is Gary there? - They're all there.
Oh, hello.
Thirsty? I really am.
Remember how good I was at school? Oh, I remember.
You were so good.
It pained me to watch it.
That's Yuki.
Lori's new boyfriend.
I can't believe she's gonna marry a nip.
Have yellow babies.
I mean, how the hell can they tell if they have jaundice? Ah! - Are you OK? - Are you right, mate? Is he alright? You OK, son? You tripped him.
No, I didn't.
I guess I just wanted to look you in the eye and say what a disgusting, reprehensible pig of a man you turned out to be.
I fell in love.
I know what you fell into.
Lust.
For a young, dumb, pretty girl.
- You can't judge me.
- I can and I have.
I hope you lose your job.
Well, I hope you get thyroid cancer.
What? You better rack off, Mrs Vickers, you moll.
- Judy, what's going on? - Control your wife, Martin.
Child molester! You're drinking a lot.
I'm having fun.
Let's dance.
I don't want to.
I will.
- And whoop! Hey! - Whoo-hoo! Hi.
Are you OK? Bruce Board! Whoo! Bruce Board! Yeah, Gary! Gary, I'm scared.
- Bruce is dead.
- I know that.
It's my fault.
No, it's not.
He always did everything I did, ever since we were kids.
I skated, he skated.
I surfed, he surfed.
I liked Sherbet, he liked Sherbet.
I took smack.
I should have known he was gonna You tried to stop him.
I did, but he's dead.
Gary, you're stoned and you're drunk, OK, and you're gonna spend the next month with these idiots.
Shut up! They're my mates.
Gary, is this really what you want them to do for you when you die - smoke bongs over your dead body and yell about what a legend you were? Shut the fuck up.
He's dead.
Hennessy! Come on, let's go! I gotta go.
Are you seriously gonna throw his body into the ocean? What the fuck is wrong with you? I'll see ya.
What about it, Daddy Cool Judy, let's go.
Daddy, Daddy Cool No, it's Pam's birthday.
Daddy, Daddy Cool I'm practically her best friend.

That is a very subjective thing.
I'd say I haven't drunk enough.
OK, ladies and genitals, everyone back to our place! Pam's birthday continues! 'DO THE BUS STOP)' BY FATBACK BAND PLAYS Think an old dog can learn new tricks? Peut-etre j'y penserai, tigre.
What does that mean? That's for me to know and you to find out.
Mmm, I'm definitely going to find out.
Do your darnedest.

Sounds exactly what I need.
You know, we were teenagers together and now we have teenagers.
And they're leaving us, Roger.
They're leaving us.
I can't bloody wait! Judy, we should go home.
You're upset.
I'm happy, actually! There's a hat going round with keys in it.
Do you know what that means? Oh, key party! Maybe you should throw yours in, Martin.
Annie's dead.
You might need a new one.
I can't believe they just dumped Bruce in the ocean.
He was sort of sweet.
Remember? When we thought you were so lucky to find such a spunk? Oh, God.
All we wanted to do was be in the gang.
Now all I want is to be out.
We could just go now.
What do you mean? Like, 'pack your bags, we're leaving now'? That kind of now? I don't know any other kind.
I have walked down this street every day of my life.
I wanna walk down another street.
What kind of a street? Well A street where.
we don't know anyone that we see.
What about your mum? Lori's back.
If we wait for the right time, we're gonna be waiting, like, a year or 10 years.
What about the boys? There'll always be boys.
Stuff the boys.
We're never gonna do it if we don't just jump.
I don't know what's gonna happen.
That's what I love about it.

You are.
