At 7 .30.

We doing this?

Doing what?

First Friday of the month.

Poker night.

Oh, shit.

Uh, yeah. Uh, my bad.

I'm feeling kind of crook.

Yeah, can you manage without me?

Yeah, I'd feel guilty taking money off an invalid.

Just get well.

Tell me you're on your way.

Uh, I'm on my way? Poker night.

Yeah, sure, later.

Possibly. Possibly? Yeah, it's Tom. He's got this big awards thing on at the

station. But next month, count me in.

What award?

Hand me my balloons.

It's the first crab commandment.

Thou shall not work on poker night.

Easy for him to say. He's paid off his mortgage.

Dude, that is awesome.

Yeah, let's land this baby.

Okay.

I've got to go.

Work emergency.

Beijing have taken the bait. All we've got to do is reel them in. Boom.

This was going to be a washout anyway, wasn't it?

Yeah.

Quiet night in with the boys?

I guess you won't be needing these.

That's good guac. No.

Stay out of here, sweetheart.

Sashay, mate.

Yeah.

No, no. Look, we would absolutely love Stingley Dale Industries to be part of

the Data Draft family.

Great.

Sashay.

That was Beijing.

If I get this client, they will promote me to upper tier management.

I thought you already were.

No, I'm lower upper tier, but I'd be upper proper.

Wow. Bottom tier crisper. Make a salad.

What happened to poker?

Oh, I've got a debrief in my briefing, Doctor.

So, is our dinner guest joining us?

Dimity? Who knows? She's been AWOL the last few days.

Oh, she's gone?

She's got nowhere to go. She's broke.

Well, maybe she should get a job like the rest of us.

Present company accepted, of course.

Just make the salad.

Oh, yeah, no, look, I can't talk.

Late and good.

Yeah.

Yeah.

OK, no, it's off. It's gone. There it is.

Nothing, I'm just busy. Okay, I'm okay. How's your stress?

Doc, I'm okay. I just stood up a little quickly.

Kapow! Super K strikes again.

Man, you should have seen the look on these kids' faces when I busted out the

old school K rap.

Fight and crime is what I do, but I miss the schools and parties.

Hey.

Oh, we're just celebrating a rescue.

You might have heard it on the radio, an old folk home that...

Caught fire, but that's all good. All 44 residents were safe.

How was your party?

Yeah, yeah, it was great.

12 six -year -olds, all entertained, lolly -bagged.

Cupcake?

Yeah, look, we can't stop this up. So set up the Skype call with Beijing ASAP.

Yeah. Because when did you work weekend?

That's what we do in the real world. We work.

Justin?

Hello?

Brain check.

Oi.

Get back here.

Phew. That's right.

I'm getting beer, pizza and... ...fringer patty.

No wonder Justin's sick. This place is a hell of it.

Well, hey, who let you in?

Foreman. Oh.

You're ignoring us.

No.

I told you, I'm sick.

We agreed to put in the insulation today.

No, you agreed.

Justin, we're on a tight schedule.

Not my schedule.

Better pick up the boys in half an hour.

Right. So when would be more convenient for us to give up our time for you?

I don't know, mate.

Sorry, I just...

Maybe I'm done with renovations. Maybe I've got more important things to get on

with. More important than putting a roof over your family's head.

I'll see you later.

Hi.

She's been looking after me.

So here I've been replaced by a pom.

Dr. Buxton.

28 years old. A Cambridge University medal winner.

And a former swimwear model.

Stop. Enough already. I hate him.

Her.

Dimity.

I was just freshening up.

I'll get out of my bed. No, no, no. Wait.

I didn't even know you were back. Where have you been?

I guess it's out now.

Justin's.

Oh. And that right there is why we haven't told anyone. We didn't plan it.

just happened.

No, no, no. No, no. It's cool.

Totally. Well, I just... Well, I thought maybe you'd found your own place.

Not always minded having you here. It's just... Look, it's just really good to

know where you're headed.

You know, like with work, accommodation.

I know.

I've been all over the shop.

I'm sorry.

I didn't mean to treat this place like a B &B.

Let's get together later, yeah?

And I will get it all sorted out before the girls get back from mum's.

See you later.

Bye.

Justin and Timothy?

We're not judging here, are we?

Never.

Justin, have a look at this.

Renovation, please.

We're in the home stretch.

Another few weeks, house will be finished.

So what do you think?

I think, um, I want my house paid back.

Yeah, but I'm the foreman.

Pass it over.

Lewis, if you want to hang out, I'll hang out, but, mate, all this...

I'm on your project.

Timothy.

Yeah, it's cool, babe.

Here's what they think.

I wonder who'd been sending all those texts.

Come on, Dad. It's just a bit of happy sex.

I think it's kind of romantic.

Firstly, don't ever talk to me about sex.

And secondly, two lonely, damaged people screwing away the pain,

that's not romantic.

That's convenient.

Got you a present.

Baltic Pine. You will not find a better bookcase for under 50 bucks.

Are we romantic?

Or convenient?

Well, we're conveniently romantic.

Or is it romantically convenient?

I'm serious.

When was that big moment?

You know, when we just knew our lightning bolt?

The first time we saw each other in the playground.

Remember? Oh.

Yeah.

Forget the bookcase.

Forget it.

Let's cancel everything and have a dirty weekend in.

Keep talking.

Don't worry.

Don't worry.

You are going to get your bolt.

No!

Hurry! He took my keys.

I'm the foreman.

This is the place.

A pair of kamikaze shaggers going down together.

Doesn't sound all bad.

You stopped the Renaults completely.

That was the one thing that kept him moving forward since the accident.

What did the others say?

Oh, who knows?

Mark's off in corporate lalo land.

Even Kane's lost interest.

I don't know what's going on.

Sounds like you boys need a night out.

Well, I tried that.

They're not interested.

So make it interesting.

Shake things up.

Mate, my shift ends in half an hour. This couldn't wait.

Mate, we've got to do something about Mark.

Fair dinkum. He's Bluetoothing his way to a heart attack.

He needs a break.

I hate camping.

Yeah, but Justin doesn't.

Fresh air is just what he needs.

I've got to work.

So long we can't. Not in Beijing.

It's for Justin.

Are you sure you don't want to come to knock -off drinks tonight? We can get a

sitter. Ah, no thanks. There's only so many rescue stories a civilian can

handle. Like your mates are any better. I mean, all they do is go on about the

kids. It's not true.

Kind of is.

Mark and I DNM all the time. And Lewis, what?

We talk about pretty much anything.

And Justin?

We've got heaps in common.

Like what?

Yeah, yeah, like what? I mean, he's a footy star, you bake pies.

Book parade.

Right. And swimming lessons, very bonding.

Look, just because we don't rescue people from burning buildings doesn't

we're not close. We're mates. We're good mates.

Yep, yep.

Bye, Dad.

Lewis, mate.

What's up?

Yeah, I'm going to be going remote on this one, so action that.

I'll action you if you don't unplug that earpiece.

What's all this?

That's my briefing notes for my Skype conference.

Doesn't look very brief to me.

Right. We've got fire starters, flares, first aid kit and homemade turkey jerky

for quick energy.

That'll down action, man. It's a fishing trip, not the Kokoda Trail.

I'll drop the kit that Luke picked up this weekend.

Thanks.

See you soon.

Home now, is it?

Not for long. I hope he's going to get rid of her while we're gone, aren't you,

darling? I'm working on it.

Hey.

Didn't think you were coming.

Didn't think it was an option.

Hey. Finally we can be alone together.

What? Well, I don't mean alone alone. Just, you know, so we can hang. We can

bond. Yeah.

Like at the book parade.

I wasn't at the book parade.

Oh, yeah.

I will rock.

So we're going to leave the car here and we're going to hike to Lewis's Mystic

River. Then if you could pick us up at the Mount Disappointment car park in the

morning. Okay, that sounds promising.

You okay?

Yeah, worry about yourself, Dale. We're a well -oiled machine.

And that was the last I ever saw of them.

Oh,

smell that.

This is going to be great.

Fellas? Oi, zombies.

Leave those face suckers in the car.

The trout, uh... Calling.

Sorry. No can do.

There's no 3G coverage near the river.

I've got to be online for my Skype meeting at 2 o 'clock so we could fish

that dam.

It's off the track.

A little bit of bush bashing. We're men, aren't we? Damn straight.

I'm not fishing in a dam.

Cut him some slack.

He's out here, isn't he?

Start.

Fine. Whatever.

Right. Let's go.

Last one to the dam's got to swim across it.

Oi, slip a K.

Damn's that way.

Yeah, I'll do that.

See?

Isn't this fun?

Come on, help me out. Where do you want to go?

Funky Roos is a soft place centre. It's like a zoo for kids, trust me.

You do not want to go there. First rule, child -minding, never offer an open

slate. All right, you're given two options on which you can deliver. Watch.

Sorry, boys. Look, Funky Roos, it's too expensive. So, would you rather go to

the beach or the park?

Poppy's dad's got a pass.

How long do we have them for?

One night.

Word of advice?

Don't go into the magic maze. Kids go in and never come out.

Thank you.

Good luck.

Any jobs?

No.

I've been out of work for so long, no one's going to want me anyway. Oh,

rubbish. I bet you're a gun estate agent.

Sell yourself.

Pretend you're a house and I'm a buyer.

On the market for the first time in ten years.

Knock down and start over.

Sooner or later, you'll need your own place.

You need an income.

While your kids are away with your mum, it's a good opportunity to job hunt.

What about... What about this one?

Rentals manager.

Oh, that'd be starting from square one, wouldn't it?

Well, I guess it's close to school.

I lacerated my hand on some glass.

The triage knife will be used shortly.

I can tell you now it needs two stitches.

I used to do what you do.

Doctoring, not swimwear.

You're Dr. Bucks and Buxton, right?

Abigail Albert?

Oh, yes, I've heard about you.

All good stuff, I'm sure.

So, where is this triage nurse?

Poppy! Hey.

I'm so busy.

What's happened?

I cut myself on her purse.

You couldn't put a dairy strip on that at home?

It needs ditching. I work with my hands.

Well, I'm going to have to make you a Category 5.

You could be here a while.

Are you saying I can't cut it as a patient?

Please take a seat, Mrs. Albert.

So? It says non -transferable. I think we should pay.

It's small print. Don't even sweat it. Don't sweat it. I'm a law student. It's

my business to sweat small print.

Pretending to be a family is bad enough. Pretending to be someone else's family

is identifiable.

We've got to go.

So... Hi.

Hi. Two adults and three kids. Thank you. That's $120, thank you.

$120.

I'm so stupid. I've got to pass.

Abigail Albert.

Doctor Albert.

Have a funky day.

Thank you.

Come through, boys.

Can't find a dam anywhere.

I think I heard a snake back there.

It's all right.

Got the knife.

And I know how to tourniquet.

What's with the gung -ho routine?

What routine?

I'm gung -ho.

Just because I'm not a fireman doesn't mean I'm not gung -ho. I haven't got a

clue what you're talking about, Kane.

What are you doing?

I've got a Skype call in five minutes. It's one of the most important meetings

of my life.

Does this tie look all right with the shirt?

You're not Skyping anyone till we find somewhere to fish.

And give me the tablet. I need the map.

My tablet. It's gone.

Maybe the snake took it.

Where's Justin?

You in my place?

I'm hiding.

Abby's bored.

I think I'm her new hobby.

Well, I can think of worse hobbies.

Oh, yeah?

When are you back?

I don't know.

When Mark's cured or Cain loses a finger. Whichever one comes first.

Jiminy? Buck?

Hey, come on. What are you doing?

Hang up.

Seriously?

What? You can't go five minutes without calling her?

Why should I? She's fine.

We're fine.

Look, Dimity's chilled, okay? There's no baggage with her.

With you guys, I can't fight without someone worrying if I'm okay.

That's not true.

Justin, you and Dimity are no good for each other.

You stopped working on the house?

Well, the house was for Nicola.

And she's gone.

What's the point?

Say, gentlemen.

Yes.

Yes. I think it's important we think about branding.

I think... I need to take this... A little technical difficulty.

Don't touch my dongle!

What are you...

Why would you do that?

This is fun.

Apologies, gentlemen.

Technical difficulties.

Come on.

Just hang on, please.

I'm just... Yeah, I'm just trying to get... Ah!

Ah!

Ah!

Yeah, true, Sharon, but I really think data draft can plus your bottom line.

Are you all right?

Other forms of firms, of course, Shang, but I think our reputation speaks

volumes. We've got to get you out of there.

I think I've hurt my ankle. No, shh.

No, we never budge on our core beliefs.

I'm going in.

Quality, substance.

Don't move.

Focus. Uh -huh.

Hey, what are you in for?

I think about an ear infection.

Do you mind?

It doesn't look infected.

Who are you?

Oh, relax. I'm a doctor.

It actually looks like... Ah, you see?

Fly. Would you like to keep it?

Um, thanks.

Did you just send a patient home?

I healed him first.

You could get us sued.

Only if I make a mistake.

Sit down.

Is he still talking?

No, all valid points for going with a cheaper quote. Yeah.

You get what you pay for. What's the holder?

It seems like tying knots isn't Super K's superpower.

I'm a superhero, okay? Not a Boy Scout.

What exactly are your superpowers?

I'm an all -rounder.

Hey, Kane, maybe I should do it. Kane.

Out of my way.

The bigger guys will undercut to lure you in, but they won't deliver our

boutique service.

I know you're under pressure to cut costs, but I think my pitch might just

change your mind.

Are you guys okay?

Yeah, I think so.

You all right? No.

You idiot.

You lost my zing. Ni hao.

Ni hao.

You all right?

You going to be able to walk on that?

It's gone.

Along with my career.

I was trying to save you.

I'm sorry this isn't the dirty weekend you had in mind.

You got to do what you got to do.

What's that mean?

No, nothing. It's just, you know, you're good friends with Justin.

He's been through hell.

Can we stop being camels now, please?

Um, sure, boys. No more camels.

Go on, off you go. Go and play.

Go have fun.

What's wrong with Justin enjoying himself?

Nothing.

Boys, the king in the ball pit. Get out of there.

Oh, no.

Camels, they hold it in. Must be their code word for holding on.

At least we have wipes.

Ah, wipes.

One. You're kidding.

You thinking what I'm thinking?

Go. No more funky roos.

You can have ice cream at home. Sprinkles and chocolate sauce.

Where do you think you're going?

Keep moving.

Keep moving. Keep moving.

Hi, kids.

Everybody in.

Buckle up, boys.

What? Who are you?

He's our friend.

Floyd! He doesn't talk much.

Where's your parents, Floyd?

Right.

Come on, boys.

No, look, you take Floyd. I'll wait here.

Oh. Here, wait.

Thank you.

There you go.

No, Floyd. Do you see your mum anywhere?

No.

Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. What are you doing back here?

This kid, Floyd. Wait a second, you're a doctor.

Yeah, I got a bit of an incident back here. You mind taking a look?

I think it's a bit of a panic attack.

I'm more of a specialist.

Come on, come on, come on.

This woman's a doctor.

She's going to help you, okay?

Deep breaths.

Mum.

Floyd, where have you been, darling?

They took me in their car.

What?

No. Just because he followed us.

The boys had an accident and we had to take them home to clean them up. What

sort of sick doctor lets her kids urinate in a funky ball pit?

We're not her kids.

Well, I'm a family friend.

Okay, you stay there.

Let the police get to the bottom of this.

Hey, why don't you back off, mate?

You think she wants to spend her whole weekend in this vile mosh pit?

She dug deep to help the father of these boys when she was meant to be having a

dirty weekend with me.

You know these people?

Yeah, so go ahead.

Go and call the cops. Go on, because I've sighted five OH &S breaches in

and I'm sure they'll be interested in them.

Yeah.

This isn't the only soft place centre in town.

Let's go.

Don't go too far, boys.

And what was that for?

The lightning bolt.

We're never going to make the river at this rate.

Beijing's gone.

I'm stuffed.

They might even drop me back to lower up a tier.

Well, I know we're here for you, mate, but I should never have left the office.

What?

We're out here for you.

Right, Lewis?

I thought we were out here to fish.

Well, what does it matter why we're out here? Let's just enjoy it.

Enjoy it?

This whole thing's a set -up.

Another one of your stupid projects.

What's the big deal? We're camping.

Bullshit. He's right.

There's always some kind of ulterior motive with you. Poker nights,

barbecues. We're always dancing to your tune.

Well, somebody's got to take control of this bloody rabble.

Why? Why?

Limpy. Because if I didn't organise it, we'd never see each other. Yeah, maybe

that's saying something.

OK.

I might have got you out here under false pretenses.

Shoot me. Believe me, if I had a gun.

Justin, you are spiralling into some kind of dimity addiction when you should

getting on with your life. And you...

You're kidding yourself, aren't you? If you think that being an upper -tier

wanker is going to give you anything except a heart attack.

What about me?

You're beyond health.

Shit.

I forgot it.

The tent.

The one thing I asked you to remember.

You remembered your shirt and tie, didn't you?

And your ton of briefing documents.

Looks like we're roughing it.

Thought we already were.

Hey, Pop, where's Mum?

You need to drink more water after surfing the back spas and bridges

dehydration. What are you doing?

Splinting this green stick fracture.

Okay, just stay off that for the rest of the week. You shouldn't need plaster.

You don't work here anymore, remember?

Here? Here.

Oh, Zippered Buxton. These people have been waiting for hours.

This guy needs painkillers. Why hasn't he got them? You've kept this girl

waiting for three hours with a broken ankle.

Well, that is the way that it is. You know that.

Well, it sucks.

Would you like to fill out a complaint form?

Would you like to actually read it rather than just spinning it?

I used to.

Turkey jerky stew and rice with wild rocket and native mushrooms.

So, what are we doing?

Where are we going to sleep?

What's the plan, Lewis?

Come on, Lewis. You've always got a plan.

Not this time.

We need upright.

We're full.

For a shelter.

Hey, these native mushrooms are okay, yeah?

Yeah.

Can you do the bush tucker course?

Yeah. Well, most of it.

Oh, relax.

I did the skin test. They're not toxic.

So you can eat them?

Well... We did.

Yes, sir.

Okay.

Mushroom check.

How are we feeling?

Good.

Great. We're in the clear.

I can't read this.

That doesn't matter.

This is what counts.

Nice big fire.

Three mates.

House of Sticks.

It's beautiful.

It's a cathedral.

You've got to keep building your house.

Yes. That's what the House of Sticks is trying to tell you.

I could have died today.

I fell down the death hole.

All I could think about was making the deal. I didn't think about... My wife.

My child.

House of Sticks is telling me that I want to go home.

I could live here.

Alone.

In the forest. Like a hermit.

The hermit wife.

The hermit child.

That's it. Could we visit you in your hermit home? Yes.

We're a hermit family.

We're hermit crabs.

Lewis Crab.

Papa Crab.

I love you.

I worry about you.

This thing with Dimity. Hey, she helps me.

She's your mushroom.

She's your medicine.

She's like a medical mushroom.

You're probably going to have to stop taking her at some point.

Yeah, I know.

That's it.

What?

My super gay superpower.

Good listening skills.

Oh, wow.

This is an awesome rock.

It is an awesome rock.

So many parts to it.

Like life.

Did you find George a bed?

George?

50, divorced, broken collarbone. Careful!

That is the number one suit you're using, yeah?

Yes.

You spent the whole day in emergency just for this?

Mm -hmm.

Getting yelled at by doctors, pissing off the nursing staff, watching that

endless stream of misery coming through the front door.

When are you coming back?

I can't.

Mark and I made a deal.

Okay, first things first.

We get our story straight.

We all caught a fish.

No one ate mushrooms.

No one fell down anything.

What happens on Mount Disappointment stays on Mount Disappointment.

Okay.

What is that? Is it a sacred stone?

Seemed like a good idea at the time.

Big night, huh?

I know. I said that I want to go full time.

I want to cut back on my hours.

What about the upper tier?

I don't care about tiers. No more tiers.

I want to go home.

And I want to go back to work.

Thank you.

Really?

You all right?

Yeah. Yeah, just... There's some stuff I need to sort out.

Here we go, boys.

Why don't we have kids?

Well, we're too young.

Oh, why aren't we married?

I've never been asked.

Ask her, Mr.

Tucker. Well, not right now, boys.

Jacob, burger ring, please.

Thank you.

Lucy Crabb, will you marry me?

Sure, why not?

Thanks. So, the roof of the back room.

Next Tuesday, 9am.

We on?

See you then.

Getting back into the renovations.

Yeah.

Yeah, I have to.

I've let things slide, the duo.

I kind of have to start dealing with everything.

And that probably means we have to quit.

Yeah. I know.

It was fun.

Yeah.

You take care.

So you're Mark Oliver today, are you?

Yes. Yes, I am.

What?

You can't do that. You're banned from this establishment.

You can't ban us.

I just have.
