I'm going in for a closer look. What?

Bloody Gary.

He wants an accountant to take over my book.

Well, he is a major shareholder. Gary wants us to do parties that don't

I don't really understand it, but he said it would mean a bonus.

Yeah, you're going to like it. Try me. Tack.

Tack.

He's on the dodge.

Jesus, I don't know how many other ways to say this to you. I am not a criminal

anymore. And you're not a cop.

Take care of yourself, Rita.

Wait. Mum, can you come with me?

All I need is someone from, like, outside the family to tell me if I'm

wacko. You're going wacko? No, you tell me that after you've watched them, all

right? It's like a science experiment. Oh, I was excellent at science. Good.

Yeah, until the explosion, and they wouldn't let me do science anymore.

just here to watch, OK? No problem.

So are you saying that I'm not part of your family, that I'm the outside? Just

shut up and watch, OK?

Here's your quickie.

Ooh, Ted.

I meant your cuppa, of course.

Morning, Huck.

Bed's stayed over, Cheryl.

Hope that's all right with you.

When did you care what I think?

Hey, what are you up to today?

Work, then the doctor.

Oh, I thought we could go, you know, shopping for baby things.

Why? Well, it's not long now. We've got to get organised.

Oh, I can't. I'm just so trolling.

Language. There's a lady present.

He was worried about swearing.

Oi.

Where did you get that jacket?

Picked it up by mistake.

Yeah.

She'll be taking it back, contacting the owner.

Well, I'd better get me AM to G.

You know, the working life.

With bells on.

Do you mind flaunting your ill -gotten gains?

And you should be telling her what's what.

Oh, do it yourself.

I'm going to work. Any message?

To who?

Wayne. Wayne? That's his name. What happened to Pork Boy Bacon Features?

not a cop anymore.

Oh, Jesus, just because you're rooting one now.

Cheers, ladies. Cop.

Ex -cop. Oh, and that makes all the difference.

So I'll pass on your regard, shall I?

If Wayne wants to talk to me, he can pick up the fucking phone.

Well, he wasn't the one who got into bed with Mr. Dodgy Trousers. I didn't get

into bed with anyone.

So you can keep out of it. Is that right?

Bloody is.

What are you two staring at?

Is it always for shagging a cop?

Yeah. And it's not a hooker pretending?

No.

And Pascal walks into a stolen property and your mother doesn't seem to care. I

know, I know. It's like opposite day.

So does this mean your mum's gone back to her old ways?

I don't know. That's what I'm trying to figure out.

Why did she break up with Sergeant Judd? I don't know. Something about doing

stuff with Gary.

Sexy stuff?

No. Money stuff.

Maybe I should talk to Cheryl about management of a certain galleria. No,

you dare.

But you were just here to tell me if I was going wacko. You are not going

Cool. But if you're interested in certain jobs.

No, no, I can't.

I've got to see a man about a fence.

You do? Yeah, a month or so. Hey, which fence? Do I know him?

No, no, it's a real fence.

An actual fence.

Something wrong?

There's only three?

Well, they're all couples who we feel would be a match for you, your baby.

Well, I just thought there'd be more, seeing as, you know, it'll be white.

They'd all make wonderful parents, and they're all happy with an open

arrangement. Open?

Access. So your baby can know it's Farno.

No.

No way. I understand why you have issues with the baby's conception.

Your own family problems.

Fran?

I know they won't be drugged up bankrupts, but stability is important to

so is money for food. Your baby won't go hungry.

These people have nicer homes than mine.

Okay, I'll meet them.

Get it up. Oh, no, I want to do it on my own.

That's not exactly how... It's how I need to do it.

I need to know that they place the same value on my baby as I do.

Okay, something simple, just along here.

I'm thinking about Soho.

Okay.

Do you want plain palings or something a bit more fancy?

Plain.

Okay.

About 150 wide? Yeah, yeah, that's exactly what I'm saying. Great.

When can you start?

Today. Yeah, I'll accept my mate.

No, nothing contagious I heard.

No, he's not here, so you won't catch it.

No, no, of course.

Anything else?

Just as long as it's straight. That's the main thing.

It wouldn't be offensive if it wasn't straight.

No, no, it would be something very odd indeed.

Yes. Well, great.

We've got a deal to go. Okay, choice.

Okay. On to the fence.

Right one, was it?

Yep.

Surveillance on the takeaway place.

Was it a cleaner?

Yeah, a tulip and a fuller snapper.

You knew there was something fishy about her?

If you're going to crack shit jokes, at least make coffee.

Right you are.

Got to earn the keep.

Got over a piece of it this morning.

Who? Cheryl.

I'd like to talk some sanctum to her.

I don't want to discuss this.

Fair enough.

Don't you want to know what she had to say?

No.

Do you think Savage is slipping her a length?

Did I mention I didn't want to talk about it?

Now, it's not a good time for things to go to pot, not with Bev around.

I think I've got something good going there.

You don't want her to be put off because of the company you keep. It's my family

you're talking about.

Bev's not blind.

You could deal to her, Cheryl.

You've got to fuck up about that.

Message received.

Oh, you want a coffee?

Go to meet a client.

I'll grab one on the way.

Are you coming or what?

You're like a copper's dog.

It's a robber's dog. And if you mention Cheryl again, I'll push you from a

moving vehicle.

So I reckon we need to organise a couple of extra local shows, you know, to keep

an appearance.

Yeah, whatever you say, Cheryl.

Good for you.

I'm joking.

All kosher.

Tanny's approved and you deserve it.

Oh.

Well, that'll come in handy.

Got to make a few changes around the house.

Yeah, I heard Judd slung his hook.

Casey? Well, you know, you've got a bit of trouble keeping anything to yourself.

I'm sorry if I got you in the shit.

No, it's not your fault.

What are you renovating?

So you get stuck into the baby's room?

Shame the father couldn't hang around to help. Well, at least the kid's got us.

Well, Loretta's looking after it. No, no, me.

She might change her tune once it's arrived.

You're a good woman, Cheryl.

Do what you've got to, eh?

Let me know if you need a hand in that baby's room.

Michael and Jenny Smith.

Hi, I'm Loretta. Nice place.

Is that your beamer out the front? The fact is, Mr and Mrs Riley, I've been

careful with my diet and looking after myself.

And I'm hoping that that's the kind of thing that will be appreciated by people

like yourself.

My baby will be white and smart.

And we all know there's not a lot of those on the market.

So you should be aware that there are other parties interested.

But I like you.

I like your house.

And a job in advertising?

Okay.

But it is a tough choice.

So anything you could do to tip that decision... Loretta. Yes?

Mr Hawthorne? Chris.

Sure.

My wife had two miscarriages before we did IVF. Three times.

Wow, that's not cheap.

We would have tried again, but we've been told there's no point.

So you're pretty keen then?

Helen and I would do anything to have a child.

So let's cut the crap here.

How much do you want?

The full forms, definitely.

They just seem so kind, you know, and really perceptive. Not the Smiths, no?

Maybe it was the smell of wine on her breath.

Surely not.

I grew up with that smell, Fran.

And I need to know that my baby will be in the best possible hands. Of the horse

ones it is.

I'll start the process.

Are you sure you won't see a counsellor?

No, thanks.

You were raped.

Your family did nothing to protect you.

It's no wonder you have trust issues.

Yeah, I know, but I just need to deal with it in my own way.

And don't forget, there are people who care.

Thanks, Fran. I know you do.

Left.

No, fuck with the other left.

Actually, that is my left.

Oh, I just touched Van's bed. Oh, get over it. Hi, love.

What's going on?

I'm moving downstairs.

Yeah, this is going to be the baby's room.

Do you have to do this now?

No, it's fine. It's what any uncle would do.

That's me, Uncle fucking Van.

Hey, how's Wednesday night for you?

What for?

Antenatal classes. I've booked us in.

Why? I'm going to be your support person.

No, you have to learn to breathe through the pain.

How does that help?

Stop screaming.

I already know how to breathe.

Look, the first time is always the worst, love. I mean, God, with the twins

was 36 hours. And believe me, when the time comes... When the time comes, I'm

going to be unconscious.

Why? I'm having a seizure.

That's a pretty weird name for a baby.

What is?

Caesar. No, numbnuts is when they slice your belly open and pull the baby out.

Hey, there's no need for that.

Well, it's locked and loaded.

What's wrong with the normal way?

Yeah, it's not like you'll ever actually need your vag ever again. Just because

you can doctor Queen Mary up there. Come on, it's just a bit of pain.

You know, and if it gets too much, you can take the drugs and I will be with

you, love.

And me.

What sort of drugs?

Look, let's just sell tickets and lemonade.

Mum, it is my body and this is how I want it.

And my doctor says it's fine.

Okay.

Okay, but... Okay, but I still get to be there. And me.

And me.

It's not a fucking concert.

Ah, she's just emotional and hormonal.

At least she's got her day.

You okay?

Yeah. Yeah, yeah. What wouldn't I be?

What? I had a very interesting conversation with the Smiths.

Really? Well, they're probably sober if you get them early enough.

Well, they were under the impression that you wanted them to bid for your

Also not very bright.

That is one of the reasons I... The Riley's felt the same way, whereas the

Hawthorns had no problem at all.

Well, like I said, we clicked.

Loretta, I understand why you're behaving this way. I do.

Really? Well, given your upbringing, it's only natural that you have a

idea of normal behavior.

But you cannot sell your baby to the highest bidder.

Why the hell not?

You don't even deny it. It's all about supply and demand.

I supply.

There's a demand.

They can afford it. That is not the point.

No, the point is the Hawthorns get a nice white baby. The kid gets a good

cool toys.

And I get something back for all the crap I've been through.

I cannot allow this. What's your problem? You get a successful placement.

You are a sad and troubled young woman. I'm a lot happier now.

I don't think so.

You try to stop this, I'll withdraw my baby from adoption.

It'll get abused just like I did.

Is that what you want? No, no, of course not. Good.

So.

Fill out the forms, tick the boxes, and do your social worker stuff.

And thank you, Fran.

You've been terrific.

Really supportive.

Fence. We've got a fence.

Yeah, man.

Man, I wish I could be here, bro.

Well, you will be. Like, in spirit.

Yeah, like spirit level.

Yep. You know, because they keep things straight.

Yep, they do.

Hey, thing is...

That's Lawrence, fella.

I don't know if he's straight, eh?

Like a shirtlifter.

Yeah, you know. You always know, eh?

Well, what does it matter, eh? As long as he pays you.

Yeah, but he's not just paying me.

He's paying us, bro.

So you get money for your wedding.

Hey, give a cool fence for me, eh?

Hey, Lawrence. Hey.

We're getting there, mate. Oh, wow. This is great progress.

I thought you might like a bite and a drink.

Oh, darn.

Awesome.

Are we sure this is straight?

Yeah, yeah.

It's a straight thing.

Right, just don't forget to tidy as you go.

Yeah, sure thing.

So, what do you think?

Mmm.

Mmm.

Right.

Lovely. Lovely?

I love it.

Yeah. Yeah, it's nice to have your hard work appreciated. Don't you think? Yep,

always.

Any action?

If he's not a cripple, it's a bloody good impersonation.

What's this?

Solid sandwich.

What happened to the pipe?

Bev wants me to watch my cholesterol.

One artery in particular she doesn't want clogged up.

Jesus, Ted, too much information.

I like her.

I'm not embarrassed to say it. I like her a lot.

You don't give up on something like that.

Got any tips for Eddington?

Ignoring a problem won't make it go away.

What about if I elbow it in the face?

What is going on with Savage? Ted, you agreed.

We weren't going to talk about personal shit.

I never thought it would happen, finding someone else.

Now it has.

I'm scared I'll lose her.

Well, why do you have to? I haven't told her everything about my colourful past.

Which bits did you leave out?

All of it. Could be a problem.

So, what has Cheryl got herself into? Jesus, Ted!

Piss off.

Or better yet, go find Bev. Talk to her, not me.

Tell her the truth.

Tell her a heap of bullshit. I don't care. Do what you have to do, but just

leave me alone.

Sure you'll be right by yourself?

Okay.

But when you're ready to talk, I'm here for you.

Those are looking very good.

What the fuck are you doing here?

I'm just passing to see if your fence really is a fence.

It's a fucking good fence, man.

You know where you are with a fence.

You're either on this side or you're on that side.

Except if you're sitting on it.

Yeah, well, I'm not.

That's good.

Otherwise you'd have a giant paneling up your ass.

No, I know what side of the fence I'm on.

Yeah, it's great. Just checking.

Yeah, nice house there. Fuck off, Filoni. You're too proud to talk to me,

though I'll help you with science.

You're a piss.

Ben, do you need something?

Ah, yeah, just a bog.

Ah, well, make it fast. I'm just on my way out.

Are you?

Um,

I could lock up for you. Oh, no, no, no, I'd rather. Look, it's upstairs.

Don't bump anything and please, we're sitting down.

No splashes, the tile's quite special.

Right.

Ooh, nice place.

Do you collect old stuff?

Mm, antiques. I'm a dealer.

You know, the bygone days, the job, well done.

Oh.

I asked you to sit down in there.

Sorry.

Hello, Loretta.

Hi, Fran.

What brings you here?

Your mother and I have been having a great old chat.

You didn't tell me you'd seen the social worker.

Well, Loretta is quite young.

And given her plans for the baby's care... Yeah, they're all sorted.

Aren't they, love?

Yes, they are.

That's good to know.

Do you want to see the room?

Room? The baby's room? Oh, it needs a coat of paint and a tidier.

Love to see it.

What the fuck did you say to her? Nothing.

Yet.

Your mother seems very nice.

It's hard to believe she put out cigarettes on you.

She misses the ashtray sometimes when she's drunk.

Bullshit. No, she does get drunk. You were never abused or raped, were you?

I wanted to make you feel useful, and it helped score me a Caesar.

Your mother seems to think she's taking the baby.

It's not going to happen.

You should know that these days, we always feel it's better for baby to stay

the whanau. I hate to break it to you, but my mother is not some saintly old

cooier. She's family.

She's raised four kids of her own.

She'll get custody like that.

And the Hawthorns have been disqualified.

On a technicality. You can't. But I do know another couple.

Who are desperate for a baby.

The Colhouns. They went on the list?

They were disqualified.

On a technicality.

But because of that, they'd be willing to pay.

Over the odd.

But you don't approve.

I'm sure with the right incentive I could put that aside.

You want a cut?

50 -50.

You're a social worker.

And do you know what they pay me?

It's corrupt.

You want to sell your baby and you want me to go along with it.

I'd say it's fair.

Half.

Ted, it's a unique opportunity. It's not, William.

Fresh power, almost full size.

So how many do you want? Bugger off, Saloni.

If a man wants a game of pool, don't believe the sciatica.

What was that all about?

A few coconuts short, that one.

Well, um, look, I... There's something.

Here you go.

No.

Ladies first.

I've been getting things sorted with Colin, financially.

I was not giving you a jab. No.

It's been a breeze.

I was thinking we could spend it.

On what?

I was thinking parrot.

It's in France.

As in, round the world, you and me?

Wouldn't that be something?

Bloody crack.

It's not as if anyone would miss us.

What were you going to say?

Me? Nothing.

Oh, bugger it.

Bev, you make me feel things I haven't felt in a long time.

And I don't mean in the sack, although that's pretty good too.

I mean in here.

I looked at you this morning.

sleeping beside me, the light on your face.

And I thought this was going to break.

So I've got to tell the truth.

OK.

All right.

The truth.

I was born on the wrong side of the law and I've been there ever since.

I know. I've been inside more... You know.

You're a legend, Ted.

Small time stuff.

Ted West, best safe cracker in the business.

I wouldn't let just anyone steal my heart.

You checked?

I was a cop.

I'd heard of you.

Really? Yeah,

you didn't get that twinkle in your eye from just singing in the church choir,

mate.

Are you sure this is the father?

Positive.

Good gene stock.

You're not unattractive.

Thanks.

Sorry Andrew couldn't be here.

He's mad this right now.

Oh, it'll wait.

Fran mentioned a figure.

That's the offer, if everything checks out.

Why wouldn't it?

We need a scan, plus the AFP triple marker test.

What for?

I need to be sure the baby's okay.

Value for money.

I'm young and healthy.

Oh, she's just like you said.

Do the tests.

If they check out, Fran can arrange the details.

Thank you, sir.

Love to the kids.

You know her?

Donna and I were at university together.

She had a heap of business.

I wanted to help little shits like you.

How things turn out.

Well, she's a bitch.

No, just driven.

The point is, she can give your baby everything it needs.

Will she even be there?

Well, it's bound to be nannies.

What's it to you?

The Hawthorns have been trying for years.

IVF and all that.

And Donna's my friend.

You'll get your cash.

It's a successful placement.

I still prefer the horse.

I thought this was about the cash.

You get half for doing absolutely nothing.

Don it or your mother.

It's up to you.

Hi.

Howdy, horses. I wanted to talk to you.

Thing is, I've met someone.

Yeah, I got that. Can you afford her?

Loretta. I have feelings for Bev.

Feelings I haven't had in a long time.

What, like you're in love or something?

Doesn't mean I loved Rita any less.

Or you.

Okay, fine.

So, when's this baby coming?

Don't you start.

I need to know.

Baby, baby, baby. Is that all anyone can talk about?

Cool, eh?

You knew what I wanted.

Yep, you got it.

It's not straight.

It is. I don't think so.

It is, man.

Ah, see?

Oh, come on, man. Sloppy workmanship.

No, it's not. Entirely unacceptable.

You're a dick smoker.

What?

Look. I did my best and you got your fence, all right, Lawrence?

So we'll just seal up, man.

I can't pay you for that. It's got a lien.

I'll give you a lien, man. Oh, will you now?

I spent over $300 on materials, right?

Plus time.

Then $300 it is for materials. No way.

There's nothing wrong with them. It was your time and skill that was below par,

so I refused to pay for it.

You wouldn't pay?

Yeah. And that was some of our best work, man, ever.

Thanks. We need that money, man, for your wedding and to get petrol and beer.

That is so wrong, bro, after all that hard work.

I know.

I'll go back and smash his face in. Bro, you can't.

All right.

All right, I'll hook it up to the tow bar, tear the fucker down. Yeah, but

a beautiful fence.

Yeah, so?

Hell no, it was us.

Well, you weren't there.

No, but that's not how we do things now.

And I've got to stay out of the triangle.

Oh, the bloody triangle.

It's not the fence's fault.

You put the love in that fence.

As soon as I can, I'll go and see it, okay?

Fence you made.

No, we're not going to take this, man.

You can't smash it. No, no, no.

If he wants to be an arsehole, I'll show him I've got a bigger arsehole.

Okay.

Well, you win some, you lose some.

No. You sue him and get him arrested.

It doesn't work like that.

Why not?

Because he's not a criminal. He's a rip -off artist.

It's a dispute over contractual terms.

No, it's fucked up and wacko like everything else is going wacko.

Are you stoned?

This isn't right. It's wrong.

And your job is right and wrong, right?

All right.

I'll help.

But it'll cost you about $1 ,500 minimum.

But he only owes us a grand.

Well, you can take it to small claims.

Yeah, probably take you a year or two.

What the fuck, man?

Welcome to the real world, man.

Go away.

Come on, Grace.

No! Shop!

You alright, love?

Couldn't be better.

You're avoiding me.

So? Well, you can tell your social worker ladies are stuck on this.

Pram bassinet.

Mum. What a cow.

Acting like I've never changed a nappy before.

Mum, how did she get dragged into all of this in the first place?

Doctor. Bloody busybodies. We'll show them.

Look at the prams you can get these days. They're like bloody four -wheel

drives. Mum.

Don't you like it? No.

Can you just let me do this?

Come on, as if you'd know what to buy.

What about the fucking pram?

Oh, love.

Love, I know this is really big for you. This is scary.

Jesus, when I had the twins, I had no idea what I was getting myself in for.

I'm good for it, you know. I've got the time and I've got the money. Why don't

you go and sort it with Judd instead of worrying about me?

What does that mean to me?

Don't pretend you don't know.

Do you want to choose the colour for the baby's room or do you want me to?

You do it. Good, because I'd like to.

If you have to be somewhere, I can do this.

She's right.

Told Bev about my wicked past.

How'd it go?

Oh, interested now, are you?

Wants to take me to Paris.

Jimmy bastard.

Just goes to show these things are better out than in.

Then in and out. Spear me.

I know we had our differences, but you're not so bad for an oinker.

Right back at you, Nancy boy.

She's not so bad either, Cheryl.

What happened to slutty pants?

A real man wouldn't fall at the first hurdle.

This isn't the first.

You know what I mean.

What about your son?

Shagging his missus?

Had his chance and blew it.

You were a good influence.

Fuck, Ted.

You love her?

Miss her?

I mean, like crazy.

Then do something, for Christ's sake.

Like I said, there's a line. I can't make the first move.

But you'd make a move.

Jesus, old man.

Go home.

So I've still got a job then.

I thought you were going to Paris.

It was a good fence, man, but you've got to let it go.

No.

I did the right thing, man, and nowhere's gone, man, ripping us off. So

we do?

I don't know.

Hey, Hossie.

Why the long face?

Did you see? The horse has got a long face. And ponies, ponies too.

What if we could tell you we knew this really rich guy with a house full of

really choice shit just beating to be Nick?

The house I passed by with the nice new fence?

Yep, that one.

Yeah, I'd say you guys don't do that sort of thing anymore.

Okay, but what if we did?

Then truly it would be opposite day.

So?

So then I'd ask about security.

Your alarms.

They shouldn't be more than an hour or so.

Four, three.

You got a way in?

Yep, maybe.

I asked you to sit down in there.

Sorry.

Um, the downy window?

Catch? Looks good. But it's shit.

Ain't no buggers in a walkin' on my boys.

Not tonight.

Well, I'm off to Pyro in the morning. Farm auction.

Decession state. Lovely collection of turn -of -the -century chamber pots.

Cool.

If this job is such a dollar, why aren't you pulling with your best mate here?

In case he'd have his ass. He'd know it was there.

Yeah, I'd love to do it myself, eh? I need him on this. Yeah, big brown one.

Yeah! No, no, please, please. Let my nephew's help.

Well, I guess we'd better get shit -faced or we've got another boy.

Oh, fuck thee.

Ah,

my boy, eh?

Welcome home. Yeah!

Is that normal?

How'd we go?

Good.

They said it'd be a couple of days for the bloods and stuff.

What's this?

The baby.

First family photo. That's what the perky person said.

Boy or girl?

You can look.

It was weird seeing him inside me moving.

I know.

I always thought it was some kind of freaky alien parasite.

What do you mean?

Freaky. No, it's normal.

Perfect, apparently.

Second thought.

Too late now.

Oh, we're talking to your boyfriend today.

He's missing you.

You should get on the blower.

He can come home whenever he wants to.

Not while you're in business with Savage.

How's your policewoman coming along?

We're meeting tonight for a movie.

And some experimentation.

Not while we're eating. Can you finish that, please?

Better enough already.

We need you to wait for milk production.

Milk production?

Breast milk. It's natural.

Oh, cancer.

Hi, everyone. This is my friend, um... My friend, this is everyone.

Oh.

Nice to know some things are back to normal.

Haven't me a thinking of going away?

Harry.

Great.

Have a nice time, then.

I can't go if things are like this.

Give it a rest.

Just want things back the way they were. I don't fucking believe it.

At least I've got the grace to admit when I'm wrong.

Not like some people. Yeah, well, some people might like to show a little bit

faith instead of fucking throwing down their handbags and issuing ultimatums.

You made the rules. Like it or lump it. Yeah, you bloody loved those, didn't

you? How can you go back on that? Dirty money from dirty savage.

Dropping your standards like your knickers. I haven't. You think that's

with a baby coming into the house?

Can we not talk about this?

What have you done?

Don't you love him anymore?

He's got to do it anyway.

He loves you, wants what's best for you.

If he loved me, he wouldn't bloody do this to me.

Anything from Filani? Nah.

Hey, hey, uh, Sneaky Kick's still here, eh, bros? Yeah, me too.

Still here.

Doing nothing.

Hey, bro.

Do you think this is like an extension of the weirdness that you were telling

about at your house?

We're not at my house.

But we gave information for a car. Yeah, but we're not going to get done for it.

Hello, boys.

It's exactly as you said.

So what have you got for me? Oh, no, man, this is just a one -for.

Eh? Yeah, yeah, because that guy Lawrence, he's a bastard to me.

Oh, man, there's lots of bad people out there. Hey.

What's this?

It's all shit.

Fifty bucks.

You might want to keep that down.

There was heaps of good shit in that place. It's all old stuff.

They're called antiques.

They were shitholes. They're no good to me. I mean, where am I going to sell a

wind -up phonogram?

I scored a DVD in a microwave.

You better not be shitting me, man.

do that to you.

We all have my sons.

You're right.

Bloody rip -off artists.

They're everywhere, man.

Next time we have to deal with something like this, we do it ourselves, right?

But only if they're pricks.

Okay, here.

Only if they're pricks. And we don't get caught in case you don't find out.

Well, works for me.

What do you want?

I'm giving Cheryl a hand with the nursery. She's not here.

Oh, that's funny. I just spoke to her.

Fall off the back of the truck, did they?

Left over from a job.

So you're in property as well as ladies' underwear?

Variety, Ted. In spite of life.

Well, Cheryl is someone else's property, so you can stay out of her knickers.

That's a turn -off.

Ted West giving me election -appropriate behaviour.

You heard.

That's a laugh, that is.

What would you know, slippery Jim?

I know a lot about you, Ted.

A lot more than you think.

I wanted to let you down.

Sorry. It's just that Loretta's having the kids soon.

Cheryl's not herself.

And that savage is sniffing around.

I understand.

You're a good man, Pet.

Not that good.

You'll still be here when I get back.

I hope.

Oh, I think you've got a few more good years on your head.

I know what I'll be doing, but then... You naughty boy.

How the fuck does A lot into A?

It's unnatural.

Ah, here we go. Here we go.

Remind me never to buy one of your houses.

Turn it up, Cheryl.

Oh, Gary's nearly got the shelves sorted.

You love the optimism, Cheryl. I don't need any shelves.

I might just borrow your toilet.

I don't need a baby's room. I don't need any of this stuff. It's my baby, and

I'm taking care of it my own way.

I'm adopting it out.

You what?

It's going to a nice, rich family who'll look after it better than I ever could.

No, no, no, I'm looking after it.

Mum, it's all arranged.

I just thought you should know before you waste any more time and money.

Hold on.

Why are you doing this?

Because... I don't want it here. I don't want it in the house. Love, you'll feel

differently when it is here. No, I won't. I know I won't. This is wrong.

And what the fuck would you know about that?

You, you say one thing and then you go ahead and do exactly what you want. No,

don't. Like Grandpa and every other bastard here.

Do you think that you changed anything with your stupid rules? Well, you

Everyone is still out for themselves, same as it's always been.

I am just following your example.
