All language subtitles for Tricky Business s01e06 Opportunity Knocks

Going undercover?

There's always an adrenaline rush
pretending to be someone else.

Possibly getting caught out, snooping
around.

Which has never happened to me, I might
add.

Your job undercover is to befriend
people, you know? Get them to trust you,

confide in you.

But sometimes you can be too successful.

Some people want to get too close.

That's when you've got to be careful not
to exploit them.

Or compromise yourself.

You've got to be very careful.

So who's the client?

Jackfruit. It's a digital gaming
company.

What, someone's leaking information
about a new game?

No, it's design specs for a games
controller like Xbox, Wii, that sort of

It's called Wand.

The only thing is the design's been
leaked to a rival company. It's a bit of

stretch, though. Isn't it going
undercover as IT geeks? Actually, maybe

should handle this one.

You'll be fine.

Sorry, I can only take two. Excuse me,
this involves you.

Me? Yes. As Kate well knows, IT is not
my specialty.

It involves both of you.

Seriously? Yes, you'll go in as
marketing consultants, okay? Nothing too

technologically challenging. Yeah, but
hang on, why both of us?

Their main competitor's about to launch
their games controller.

Right, and if that happens before Jack
Pruitt's owner can prove they've stolen

his design, he'll go home. Exactly. He's
invested millions.

And he's paying Sapphire very well to
get the job done.

Besides, I thought you'd both enjoy
working together.

I can't wait.

Bring it on.

It's a race against time.

I've invested everything in this.

Garfleck get to launch my product before
I do. That's it.

It looks like they've invented it,
they'll get all the sales.

Now, I'm out of business.

How do you know they haven't?

A sales rep saw it. Saw a prototype for
their new games controller and it looks

exactly like mine. So one of your
employees must have showed it to them?

No, no.

The design specs never physically left
this office. The only computer that

all the info is that one.

And you have no idea who's getting
access to it?

Our employees have the best IT minds in
the country.

They wouldn't leave any trace
electronically.

Look, um...

I'm not really sure how we can help you.

You said that you might be able to find
out some info by talking to the guys,

observing them?

Yeah, if we get them talking, that might
reveal something.

Yeah, you could give us your staff
files. We could do some profiling. Yeah,

think of it as a two -pronged attack.

We'll say we're doing some marketing.

Yeah, but look, to be honest, Xavier,
this is a time -poor operation, mate,

there's a good chance we won't... This
guy, he's a warrior.

But he will be all over it like a bad
smell.

What do you think you're doing?

Being realistic.

Look, the guy's a mess. He needs to feel
confident we can pull this off. You're

confident, are you? Well, I'm not thrown
in the towel.

I don't like sugarcoating.

Whoa!

Hey!

Whoa!

But you gotta keep your head up, oh!

And you can let your head down, hey!

You gotta keep your head up, oh!

And you can let your head down, hey!

And Rick are handling the marketing of
WAND.

I need to promote the product.

So please answer any questions they
might have for you. And remember, if you

want any recognition for your work,
now's your chance.

Marketing, huh?

That's the items making whole lies out
of half tubes.

Hopefully not in your case.

This is Cam. He was responsible for a
lot of the core creative on WAND. Only

.9%. Others will dispute that.

This is Elliot, our head program writer.

And the only sane one amongst us,
Yvette, our junior game tester.

Hi.

Hi.

And what percentage were you involved?

Not much.

Although, that's right, I did come up
with the name.

G'day, mate.

Oh, hi.

I was just looking for Natasha.

In there?

Well, no, I was just hoping to find
something that might tell me where she's

gone. She went a few weeks ago.

Where'd she go?

I don't know.

Any idea where she's working right now?
She's changed jobs since I saw her last.

No.

Wherever she is, she'll look beautiful.

Head to toe, perfectly made up.

Well, she is a beautician.

What was her hair like last time you saw
her?

She always has to change it when we live
together.

Brownish? A bit like that stain on your
shirt.

Oh, that's me.

Was she still driving the same car?

Didn't have a car.

She always got the shuttle bus to work.

I'd get on to that.

There are about 20 salons in the CBD
area along the shuttle route.

Can you look up their websites and see
if you can match that logo to any of

them? Mm -hm.

Ew, have you got a spare top?

No, have you?

Not one you'd wear outside of a
nightclub.

So Matt and Rick undercover together.

How's that going to work?

I'm the big boys now.

Emphasis on boys.

Hey, Kate.

Swells. There you go. That's what a bit
of dedication and tenacity yields. Or a

good search engine.

I told Dad to put this in the storeroom.

Isn't it fun living and working with
him? If I was having any more fun, my

would explode.

You the Jim Christie?

Big Jim?

Played for the Red Devils?

Yeah.

Yeah, I've still got the dodgy shoulder
to prove it. Oh, I saw you.

85 grand final?

84, Granny, it was. Yes, that's it.

That was a great game.

Oh, bloody hell.

Look, Drew, I won't take up any more of
your time. Oh, yeah, sure.

Seriously, Gemma, I don't know why the
insurance companies have a problem here.

Oh, look, it's probably got to do with
the items that were taken.

Plasma TV, DVD, laptop, leather couch.
They're pretty standard, but the thieves

also took silk sheets and a steam press.

Yet they left a second flat screen and
audio trophies. Oh, yeah, exactly.

I mean, they must be total amateurs. The
trophies would be worth more than

anything. I mean, what goes through
these idiots' heads, I don't know.

But, look, you've got a job to do. Do
you want to come inside and see what

they took?

Sure. Do you want a beer?

Why not, eh? Gotta be four o 'clock
somewhere in the world.

Pow!

I thought you'd be more of a cranky
poultry kind of guy.

You know, the, uh, game.

Yes, I know.

I reached the highest level before I
went public.

So, Cam, what do you want the world to
know about you, mate?

Um, I play lacrosse.

Turquoise is my favourite colour.

And, uh, my dog's name is Dinner.

Very fascinating.

So how come you're working here instead
of somewhere like Silicon Valley?

I don't like to travel. It doesn't suit
my personality.

You like working for Xavier?

He leaves me alone.

I hear you're a major talent.

I am exceptional.

You ever get headhunted?

I have very specific needs.

And what about starting a business on
your own?

It wouldn't suit my personality.

Listen, I've got a job to do just like
everyone else, okay? So if you want to

get rid of me, just give me something.
Dude, it's unpersonal.

I'm just not interested in marketing
myself.

Well, fair enough.

You want the product to speak for you,
right? I don't care. I mean, I might

if I was getting royalties, but I'm not,
so... That's a bummer.

Maybe it's time to move on.

I am.

New job?

Uh, new project.

Which I need to get back to.

Damn it.

Hello, Kate.

Hello, Natasha.

Have we met before?

No, no, we haven't.

It's Natasha West, yes?

No. Oh, look, there's really not much
point denying it. There is. I'm not her,

I'm Natasha Campbell.

I don't mean to make a scene. Great, you
need two Natashas in the one cell and

Natasha West will be in later.

Oh, right. Sit down for me.

I really came to see her. I am the more
experienced therapist. Is there a

problem?

No, no, no, not at all.

Right.

Excellent.

I'll get you to pop that one on for me.
Would you like me to try and get the

girls to get that stain out for you?

Oh, no, that's fine.

Seriously, it's easy.

Okay, thank you. All right.

It's been a bit of a rough day. One of
those days.

Tell me, Kate Christie, who are you?

Sorry? Smell these and tell me which one
you prefer.

Mmm, yum.

Fennel, it tells me you're logical,
independent and strong. But you can be

-controlling, unable to adjust and under
stress react inappropriately.

Really? I do find the more regularly you
wax, the less it hurts. To be honest

with you, I don't think anyone would
really notice.

The man in your life will notice.

You'd be surprised.

French manicure or nail enhancement?

The nail enhancement will be great.

That sounds really good.

Hey, girls.

I suppose you get a bit of that, do you?
Girls knocking on the door.

You know what it's like, Jim.

Women appreciate an athlete.

Oh, yeah.

Anyone special? Because the insurance
company will probably want...

We need to talk to someone who can
verify the items that were stolen from

house.

Um, I got a special friend for every day
of the week.

What about one of the guys from the
team? You know, Walker Watson?

Anthony Watson, second roller?

Yeah, yeah, he'll sign your forms for
you.

Can he read?

I'll tell him you said that.

Uh, let me show you how to make a beady
purse.

Please do.

Um... Long macchiato.

Oh, you're good. Coffee addicts, we
recognise each other.

So, how's it all going?

They're, uh, pretty closed.

Yeah, there's no risk of overshare
amongst these guys.

So, who is the biggest talent around
here, eh?

Elliot? Well, the subject of hierarchy
is a very sensitive one.

Is that competitive?

Well, put it this way.

Who's the best between you and him?

See, you may say that you have different
strengths and you complement each other

and work really well as a team, but the
fact is you think you're better than he

is, don't you?

Don't feel guilty. It's evolution,
intrinsic male DNA.

I'd back you, though.

Do you need a hand there?

No, I can manage.

I can't really get it out.

It's really stuck in there.

Do you mind?

It's just this credit card here. No
worries. Thank you.

Hi, Natasha.

Sorry I'm late.

Natasha West?

Yes. Can we speak privately?

Do you mind?

No. Go away. Now. I'm Kate Christie. I'm
from Sapphire Mercantile Agency.

I have documents for you. I'm not
touching them.

Ah, cool.

It's, uh, it's your choice.

But either way, you've been served.

Hello? Yeah?

Do you ever wish you could turn back
time?

Like... Back a few centuries or a bit
before a game where you got fouled off

halftime? Back when Mum and Rick were
together and I had my own room and Mum

fun. Come on, your Mum still is fun.

She can be.

You still get to see Rick.

But I hear the whole room -sharing thing
is not great.

Why can't Mum and I get our own place
again?

Why do you have to break up with Rick?
He's done nothing wrong.

All very good questions, Em. However, I
just can't... Hey!

Give us a cuddle. Whoa, hello, crazy
mama.

So this is the total goddess. Look,
Glenn. Mum, what have you done? All in

line of duty. What do you think?

I like what I see, I think.

You can only see the half of it.

Where is everyone?

They're all still out.

So no one bothered to ring in, let us
know how they're going, where they're

They're men. They need a strong motive
to make contact, usually governed by

primary drive.

This is true.

Em, I may as well take you home now.

No. I'm waiting for Rick. I need help
with homework.

You can't expect Rick to help you every
time. Why not?

You broke up with him, not me. We're
still friends.

All right, now's not the time for this
conversation, okay?

Rick could still be ages, babe. Why
don't you come with me? I'm going to uni

now. Thanks, silly, but Emily's to
understand she can't always have

her way.

We'll talk about this tonight.

Whatever. She'll come around.

I know they took most of Drew's stuff. I
don't know why. He's got shocking

taste. Yeah, if you could still take
Elizabeth's list so I can shut it off on

it.

Yep, seen it, seen it, seen it.

He'll cheat.

I don't know. He'd have to ask his
girlfriend.

He's got a girlfriend?

What, one particular girl?

Yep, Lucinda Oliveira.

Okay, Monday to Friday.

Okay.

Slow day.

It's actually highly strategic.

How's the IT world? Any contenders for a
leak?

Um, yeah, possibly.

That's why I'm here, doing a bit of
follow -up research.

Where's Rick?

He's taking some of the employees out
for a drink.

Oh, nice.

Loosing them up so they talk, huh?

That's the plan.

So, okay, what are you doing?

Aftermath of my own undercover job.

Right.

Was there a circus involved?

Oh, well, you can laugh if you like, but
it was actually my nail enhancements

that got me over the line. Oh.

Some pretty major sacrifice for a bit of
process serving.

Why don't you tell me how you really
feel?

Call it like I see it. You don't need
enhancements.

Have you ever, um...

Been hang gliding at Stonewall Park?

Way to change the subject.

Would you like to?

Jump off a cliff, you mean?

No, not jump.

Fly.

Glide. Hang gliding.

Yeah, not in my luck.

I'd still land on my bum.

You geeky little genius brat.

I'm assuming that's a good thing.

Yeah, could be.

I've got to go. The hang gliding thing,
did I just... Did I just knock back a

date with you?

Don't know. Did you?

Did you test in a new one?

No, I wasn't chosen to be one of the
final lead testers.

So were you, uh, disappointed not to be
included?

Nah. Uncle Xavier wouldn't want anyone
to think he was giving me special

treatment.

Uncle Xavier.

That's why I'm there. Because he owed my
dad a favor.

Well, surely if you've got the talent,
it shouldn't really matter.

If you're a guy, maybe.

That's a boy's club.

There's a reason why I'm the only girl
there.

You might distract them.

Which has its upside from time to time.

So, do you think any of the others are
going to show up?

You didn't invite them.

I'm just not very good at sharing.

That's probably not a good idea.

What, not now or not ever?

Well, ever is a very long time.

Ah, you say the words, drinks on me, and
look who shows up.

Hey, Matt.

Rick tried calling you, but you didn't
pick up.

Need a word.

Excuse me.

So, profiling was a good idea.

Well, have you got something?

Yeah, you can thank me later.

One member of the team has a big secret.

I got your favourite yoghurt.

She's consistent.

She's been fine with me.

Yeah, I bet.

Maybe you should just let Rick come over
one day a week to help her out with her

homework. I can do it. Anyway, Rick's
busy.

I bet if you asked him, he'd want to.

Lily, like it or not, Emma has to
understand that everything can't always

way.

Life's simply not a case of...

Doing what you want when you want to do
it.

Not for most of us, anyway.

You doing physio again?

Already? Oh, yeah.

Well, with your dad back at work, it's a
bit boring around here.

Besides, every little bit helps.

This is for Emma.

Oh, no, it's fine, Mum.

I'll find a way to pay for Emma's
basketball camp. No, I've taken care of

She's registered and paid in full. This
is pocket money for when she's down

there.

It's OK, Mum. I said I'd pay for the
camp.

Well, it doesn't matter who pays for it.
The important thing is that she doesn't

miss out.

No, the point is I don't want her going
straight to you every time I hesitate

about paying for something.

You know, going into these crazy teen
years, you want your daughter to be

I hope she's tied up in sport.

She won't have time to go to parties or
get caught up with the wrong crowd.

I don't want to get her hopes up in case
I can't afford it.

Well, then let me help you out. I really
want to. What if I can't pay you back?

You don't have to pay me back. Mum, I
still feel like I owe you.

She's my daughter. I should be able to
look after her.

And you do, Kate.

But I'm a mum too.

Don't I have a right to?

Look after my daughter as much as you do
yours.

Hiya.

Do you need help with anything?

Em, you want to have a chat?

Why?

It's not like you actually tell me
anything.

Okay.

What do you want to know?

Why you and Rick really broke up.

Rick did something.

He made a mistake.

A very big mistake.

He didn't mean to hurt...

Anyone but he did.

What was the mistake?

Something I can't tell you.

Why not?

Sweetheart, I have my reasons and I will
one day, I promise you. But right now,

all I'm interested in is us, okay?

Everything that I do and every decision
I make is for us.

Can you trust me?

Em?

Please?

I can tell you one thing.

It doesn't matter how cranky or how
furious you get at me,

I still love you.

What would you say if the lady with the
sweet sunshine kissed her and said, I

want to know you. What would you do if
the boy with the sweetest smile said,

Hey, I'm going to kiss you.

If it were you.

If it were me.

If you could break off the flavor of the
moonbeams, light and shine, who would

you shine on?

If you could close your eyes and flick
your heels together one, two, three

times, where would you end up? If it
were you.

If it were me.

Are you going to make your breakfast?

No, no time.

And you've got to prepare for court.

Hey,

you've got an examination notice that
you ignore. That's why you've been

to court.

It's okay.

Just fill the notice out before you go
and take it with you. Just list your

employment, income, assets and
liabilities, okay?

Well, filling out a form won't take
long.

Well, you also need to dig up your pay
slips, tax assessments and credit card

statements.

Are you serious?

Well, I guess I can find that stuff
somewhere.

Is there a rumour about you?

Hey, I promise.

Do you need a nail? No, actually, it's
not a rumour. Oh.

Yeah. It's on the public record.

But it's under your real name.

While all the other kids were playing
handball in the quad, you were giving

Defence Force a lesson in online
security.

Until I got caught.

But you let yourself get caught, didn't
you?

Get the attention and the recognition.

Sounds like fun.

It's almost as much fun as posing as
marketing consultants when you're really

investigating us.

I can assure you there's nothing fun
about juvenile detention.

He's that guy.

Cam is the guy who brought down the
Defence Force server.

I'll get IT forensics onto his hard
drive right away. Hang on, I wouldn't

in so soon. Why?

So you can drain the rest of my ideas.

Well, if it's not him and you accuse him
of committing an offence based on a

past criminal conviction and you're
wrong, well, you're committing an

yourself. Besides which, we're not sure
it's Cam.

It could just as easily be Elliot.

So, what you're telling me is that you
still don't have any idea who it is?

No.

But if Cam knows, you can bet someone
else does.

Chad, perfect.

Burger down, tie on, we're going to
court.

Court? What?

Yep, you can wear one of Rick's shirts.

Put this tie on, that's the way.

Hang on, Kate, I can't. These pants, my
shoes, maybe we should just save it for

another day.

No, no, no, it's time for you to learn
the art of conducting an examination

notice. You know the basics, but there's
a protocol when it comes to court.

And today's list of debtors includes
your old friend Minnesota Smith.

But... Kate, you'll be fine. Don't even
worry about it. It's not hard. It's just

time consuming.

Meet me in the car.

So, we usually give the debtor about
half an hour's grace. Then if they're

not here, we page them over the
loudspeaker. We wait 15 minutes. And

they still haven't turned up, they're
considered a no -show. Then what

The court will issue a warrant and
they'll be arrested. Kate? Yeah?

About Minnesota Smith.

Does it matter if I'm seeing her?

Yeah. That's what I'm saying. You'll be
seeing her today.

No, no, no.

I mean seeing her.

You're doing what?

So you're telling me I send you out to
serve a debtor and you serve her

something else instead? No, no, no. Not
instead. Just more.

Did she offer sex in exchange for
anything?

No, no. She was quite happy for me to
serve her.

Do you realise you have risked the
entire reputation of our business?

Yes, I'm starting to realise that now.

Mr Pearce, thank you so much for coming.
I'll be right in. All right.

You stay here. I'm going to go deal with
this. Is Minnesota going to turn up?

Yes. If she's not here by the time I've
finished with Mr Pearce, I'm going to

have to report her to the register.

Then it's out of my hands and yours.

Understood?

Understood? Yes.

You want to know if I've seen Jubala's
sheets?

Oh, specifically the red silk ones and a
steam press. It's for the insurance

claim on the burglary.

Rocco, turn that thing off!

Sorry. Um, right, yeah, I did see those
sheets at his home. And the ironing

press thing. Not that he ever used it,
the press, that is.

Hmm. OK, well, if you could just sign
here. This document is legally binding,

course.

Mr. Jim Christie?

Bingo, and you are?

Michael Hynde.

Oh, from Spiralis Financial, I wasn't
expecting. Ah, no, for the Anti

-Corruption Commission.

What can I do for you?

You're from Minnesota?

Yeah, five times no answer.

You serious about it?

Felt real.

I'll go get a coffee.

I'll borrow another ten minutes.

Thank you.

Thanks, Mr Theophilus. Thank you.

See you shortly.

Ever heard of a bloke by the name of
Michael Hine?

No. Well, he's certainly heard of you.
He was from the Anti -Corruption

Commission.

Came here to speak to you.

Yeah, what did he say?

Was that... That investment debacle of
yours, was that connected to the

government in any way?

I saw a confidential paper from the
transport minister showing exactly where

fast train was going to go, and on the
back of that I put the investors

and we bought the land.

And you didn't think for a second that
it might be illegal?

How much trouble do you reckon I'm in?

It's hard to say. How do you reckon this
boat got your name?

Maybe one of the other investors.

And have you spoken to your government
contact about this?

Can't find him. He's gone to ground.

This contact of yours, was he with the
Transport Ministry?

Yeah.

Okay. Well, look, I might know someone
who knows someone, so leave it with me.

I really appreciate that, Jim.

Yeah.

I've got to go, but do you mind if we
don't tell Kate about this?

Yeah, let's not worry a warrior, eh?

It's been 20 minutes.

She's not coming.

Hi. I just need to sort out a court
order for this person. She's a no -show.

Chad?

Minnie.

You're here?

Yeah, no, Kate's brought it on me this
morning. I had to tell her about us.

Hi, I'm Kate Christie from Sapphire
Mercantile.

We almost gave up on you.

Kate's going to be conducting the
examination, considering where... It's a

conflict of interest.

Did you bring the paperwork?

Um, no.

You did, and we spent hours on that
together.

I probably don't need to complete the
exam notice if I've got this.

It's a bank check for the full amount I
owe.

Great.

When did you... My parents offered to
bail me out.

I'll start getting this processed.

When did this happen?

This morning after you left.

But there's a condition.

I have to move back to the Gold Coast
and work for them. Pay it back every

When are you leaving?

Today. Today?

Dad's paid for a limo to take me to the
airport.

So what? It's all over just like that?

Are you kidding me?

You're coming with me.

You'll get work over there.

I can't. Yes, you can.

You're coming with me.

Man, look, I... I can't walk out on
Sapphire, all right? This is the best

have ever had.

And they kept me on the books even when
they couldn't afford to.

You're going to take a job over me? No,
no, it's not like that. Look, I want to

be with you, you know that, but... I
own.

Notice that Olivia is not the tidiest of
tenants.

As I already mentioned, although I am
the property manager, I really shouldn't

be here without the tenant's agreement.

Well, she's not here, is she? So what
she doesn't know is not going to hurt

I suppose so.

Look, I've got a very fussy mother. I've
got 400k burning a hole in my back

pocket.

So I can take it elsewhere if you like.
No, look, it should be fine as long as

we're quick. But please don't touch
anything.

Sure.

Okay. A linen closet.

Yeah, it's got very generous storage,
particularly for a place this size.

Yeah.

Does the property have a garage?

As you can see, there's plenty of room.

You could fit a whole house full of
furniture here.

Yeah.

You faked a robbery to get cash.

You've got no respect for yourself, for
your club, for your supporters, your

code. I was protecting Lucinda. She took
this stuff. I didn't want to go to the

police. Rubbish. She hasn't got nothing
else but you do.

You think nothing can touch you.

As it turns out, you are above the law.

Only because the insurance company is
the team's sponsor.

No criminal prosecution.

They will settle for a withdrawal of
claim.

Oh, well, that's it?

Yeah. Professional sportsmen being let
off the hook. Who would have thought,

Club management are across this, so you
better play like a bloody champion next

year, son. Absolutely. Just walk under
to thank you.

Don't be a tool, for starters.

Maybe there is something.

Hey. Hi.

So, uh, did Chad fulfill his moat
potential?

Uh, he was professional to a point.
Yeah?

Minnesota Smith paid him for it. Wow.

And then she left for Queensland
permanently.

Is Chad okay?

You knew about them?

Who else knew? Uh, Jeff May, I think.
Where is he now?

I told him he could finish up for the
day.

Actually, I also need to leave early. Is
that okay?

Have you got the letters of demand done?

Not quite.

Why not?

Uni tutorial followed by a long lunch.

More of a funch, really.

Funch.

Don't you know what a funch is?

No, it's just... It's not that I don't
know what a funch is. It's just probably

my funch is different to your funch.

I sincerely hope so.

Who was it we... Hi, Dad.

Bye, Dad.

See, darling, she's a hard worker, that
one, putting in the extra time at uni on

top of a workload here.

Where's your affidavit folder?

I put it in the bottom drawer.

Dad, that's not where I put it.

Well, it is a common -use form, so it
makes sense to put it somewhere with

access. But if you have a problem with
it, feel free to move it.

I just need to know who's running this
business, you or me.

You are?

Darling, of course. Thank you. But isn't
the master licence holder entitled to

an opinion?

I'd be happy to have you back, but
you're not going to be back permanently.

Who says?

I love it here. I'm really enjoying it.

And what are you saying, that I can only
stay as long as it suits you?

What are you talking about?

What are you afraid of, darling?

Losing control.

I'm not controlling.

And if I was, who could blame me?

Surrounded by chaos.

Exactly. You can't control chaos. So
just let it go, run with it, and

something good might happen.

Like getting pregnant at 17 and my
boyfriend sending my business to the

That's fantastic, Dad.

Awesome. Give me some more of that kale.

Okay.

I'll see you at home.

Maybe.

There you are, love.

Thank you, darling heart.

Cheers to you.

Now, back in the day when I was in my
prime with the devils, did I ever come

across as arrogant, selfish, beyond
reproach?

Bit up myself?

Oh, sweetheart.

Absolutely.

Yeah, well, I thought so.

Oh, speaking of the red devils.

I got a call totally out of the blue.

They offered me a job with their physio
team starting in a few weeks. No. Yes.

Really? I don't know why they thought of
me.

Oh.

How about that?

Cheers to you. Thank you, dear.

And the mighty devils.

Hi, Vette. Hi. What are you up to? I
didn't see you leave.

Oh, yeah, I got called away.

I'm taking a lateral approach to my
marketing.

Working. Still.

Maybe you should take your lateral
approach and meet me at that bar.

What time?

Um, well, I'm just at my mum's at the
moment, but I could meet you there in,

say, half an hour.

Might shout all night.

Sounds like an offer that can't be
refused.

Ciao.

That's some work ethic you've got going
there.

Xavier asked me to come in urgently and
back up some files without telling

anyone.

Could that be because someone's leaking
ideas to Starflex?

I'm not actually at liberty to discuss
that.

Well, maybe we should just ring Uncle
Xavier and see what he's got to say.

So what are you going to do now?

Disappointing? I quite like, do you?

Well, I'm getting pretty good at
disappointing women.

Hey, I got your text.

Figure I missed the showdown.

Yeah, Xavier's in there now.

I don't know whether he's going to take
it further legally, given she's family.

Yeah, some call, eh?

Ripping off your uncle.

You got any idea why she did it?

She was frustrated all her ideas were
overlooked.

If not belittled, someone from Starflex
liked their ideas and made her feel

wanted. Shame.

Not for you, homie.

Your point?

Well, she fancied it.

Oh, come on.

It's a lost opportunity for a free man
like yourself.

You're a free manager?

Am I?

Are you not?

I'll file my report from home. I'll see
you tomorrow.

Yeah.

Hey. Hey.

Well done.

Yeah, we got lucky.

Yeah, but we make our own luck.

I was just leaving. Do you want me to
leave some lights on?

Uh, no, no, no. It's just, um...

Just dropping some stuff.

Do you know what funch means?

Do you?

I asked you first.

Well,

then, yes, I do.

Have you ever had it?

I believe I have.

What's it like?

It was fun.

At lunch.

With a special friend.

Mm -hmm.

And you?

Yes.

Lots of times.

Mm -hmm.

Yeah, yeah.

You see, I don't believe you.

Why not?

You're too sensible.

Oh, really? Mm -hmm.

You don't think I can be spontaneous?

That's hard to say without proof.

I'll give you proof.

If you want proof.
