Original subtitles

We're gonna find the bastard, drop his seed in Rita, then we kill him. Know

anything about a huge fucking container parked in my doorway?

What's in it?

Can't tell.

Did you just steal it? Drug dealer. That shit belongs to people who now think

that they've been ripped off. Well, it's gone. Tell them that.

Then you should get gone.

I'm gonna go away for a while, alright? It's your job.

Keep an eye out for Marple, alright?

I'm the drug dealer.

No. I'm dead.

You fucking bastard!

Yeah, puff, puff, yeah.

Yay, popcorn!

So can't watch movies without popcorn.

You owe me for it.

Love you.

I don't care how ripped you are, you're still paying me.

It's not the lame -o porn, is it? I like the lame -o porn. No, it's family

movie. It's research.

Is this the one with me and Ted Limbaugh?

Spira.

Oh, it's so cute when I do the hokey pokey and I accidentally kick Van in the

nuts. Except you weren't born in 1969.

So I'm not in it.

Not unless you're male and have a limp.

Bert Thompson.

Is that our face?

No, it's Aztec Ride.

Ah, Grandpa, look at you.

God, she is so like you.

Is it attractive?

Well, hot and tasty.

You fuck my grandma.

No, no, no, the sausage rolls, bro, the sausage rolls.

Whoa, she is so working out.

What are you researching?

Who bloody did it?

Is this more Kruger answer?

Little bastard.

Who is it?

Wilkie.

Wilkie the getaway driver?

Should have seen it before.

Little yuppie bastard.

Oh, bloody get him.

What did he do?

None of your business.

Can we have the paddling pool one now?

He's my kid!

Shifting.

Nelson, closer to Mum and Dad.

Thought maybe you might have been going to join him.

Him? Death row.

Yeah.

When he did all this bullshit about needing to go away, I didn't really

him.

Then, someone did come looking for him.

Then that came through the window.

Then, a couple of days ago...

Someone followed Robbie home from school.

Haven't they?

Oh, shit.

They want to know where he is.

But how can I tell them when I don't bloody know?

No, I don't know either.

You wouldn't tell me even if you did? No, that's not true. I've seen you about

this. He'd be ropeable.

Really thought we had something, you know?

He does care about you.

I know he does. Then why the fuck does he get in touch?

He will.

When he can.

Well, I should put my thumb first.

Buck, I'm sorry.

I'll know who's responsible for this.

Oh, you know how to do it?

Yeah.

So, five bedrooms?

And we'll be putting in a pool.

Great. Well, you want to come around and use it?

No, of course not.

Sit down, honey.

Given the large deposit, we'd be happy to lend the balance once we have proof

income and employment.

How's that all going?

Great. He's got a job lined up. No, I don't. He's got an offer.

No way am I a fucking cleaner. It's maintenance.

Yeah, cleaning pubes out of drains.

And I've got a position in fashion.

Don't I?

Marvellous. That's really taking off these days.

Isn't it, though?

So we'll get you the paperwork as soon as we can.

Won't we?

We'll get back to you.

Great.

Exciting.

Tell me.

No. Oh, come on.

No. Please.

Please.

Please, please, please, please, please, please, please. What's going on?

Rochelle's got a boyfriend. Two nights in a row. Really? Yep. And she's wearing

her I just got laid in a good way face.

Fat face.

Two nights. Let's be serious. Do we know him?

Oh, come on. Help me out here. What? Maybe she doesn't want us to know him.

No, that's the difference, Faith.

That's her. I just got laid and what was I thinking, Faith? Shut up!

Yeah, well, we all make mistakes from time to time.

Like this scumbag bastard who would trash his own son and then get his low

mate onto his girlfriend and then threaten her kid on the way home from

so she's got to leave town.

Know anything about that?

Taking that container put us all in the shit. Yeah, you're not fucking joking.

Because of that, I'm going to need a bit more money.

Out of the business?

What money?

You might have to do a few more parties.

Maybe a tour of the North Island.

Oh, yeah? You're going to do them, are you, when a brown panty's here?

No. Your new employee.

Over my dead body.

Well, I had a conversation with your major shareholder, Gary Savage.

He didn't have a problem with it.

So set it up.

Yeah?

There, you see?

I saw a man performing indignities on a faucet roll.

You know what else he was sticking at? His nasty bit of ball burst.

South African?

Parents were.

That's how we knew the jeweller.

You and your bloody associates.

Lefty, Bert, Phineas, Bilkey.

We were celebrating that evening.

Kruger ends.

Nah, Maori money.

Tokaroa TAB. Nice job, that one.

Rita always put on a party after.

Yeah, that's sweet of her.

Didn't stint on the spread. Plenty of cold ones.

No wonder they're always round our place.

So it could have been any one of them?

Nah. Why not? Lefty was married, so was Phineas. Ooh, that stops lots of people.

Nari would have cut off Lefty's other ball if he looked at another woman.

And Phineas was a Catholic.

Always said a Hail Mary before a job.

But her and Bilky... Always having a laugh together.

Always feeling her up.

That's hardly proof of paternity, Ted.

We'll get to that when we find the bugger. Choke a confession out of him.

ain't doing anything of the sort.

Don't you want to help?

Ted, why don't I find him?

You're not choking him if I'm not there.

We'll talk to him first. Talk? Yeah, interrogate, you know.

All right, then we choke him.

We'll just see what's appropriate, eh?

You're right.

Choking could be too good for him.

Well, she's conked out now, but she just keeps crying.

What did you get?

Give her the dummy? I showed her some of my videos. No wonder she was crying.

Give her the dummy. She likes the dummy.

She'll end up with bad teeth.

What are you doing here?

Reviewing a suspect for our friend the loose cannon.

What's he on about now?

Is this about Belky?

What did he take off Grandpa?

That's what he left. That's the problem.

According to Ted, he knocked up Rita.

For real?

Although the evidence is a sausage roll, a touch on the shoulder and a butt pat.

Alleged. On the Super 8?

Yeah, it's crazy.

No, it's cool. It's like Blower. Is that a gross one with Robert Dahl?

Antonioni, 1966.

It's a classic.

Oh, Grandpa says that about all his porn films. No, this is an actual movie.

Has any of the movie tell you anything about anything?

That's what I said.

Ted's hell -bent on killing the bloke responsible.

Ah, he's just mouthing off.

Yeah, of course he is.

You know, love betrayed. It's amazing where people get to in that old

Yeah.

Can you keep an eye on him for me? Yeah.

Blight was awesome.

Hey, Cheryl.

Just getting the lowdown on these invisible parties in case anyone asks.

If anyone asks, there's no such thing.

Yeah, I know there's no such thing. No, there's no such thing, because from now

on we're not doing them.

Cheryl, I told you. So if you and your boyfriend want some money out of this

business, you can fool your ass and earn it.

Okay.

When and where?

What do you mean?

I mean I can do parties.

Real ones.

Is it simple enough for you?

We don't have any.

Well, actually, we do. That women's league thing.

You're doing it. Well, it's just that I've got a date.

Another one?

Well, those girls, honestly, they're animals. Last time it took me a week to

the bomb out of the carpet. Okay.

How are you?

Well, she can't have it at my place.

She can have it wherever she wants it.

Fine.

Go for it.

Great.

Awesome.

I'll be checking the money against the orders, if there are any.

There will be.

I thought you were going to slap her.

Maybe next time.

But you're just kidding to get at her, right? About the invisible parties?

Nah.

Troll. From now on, that stuff's a thing of the past.

So, Bill Key. Yeah.

You know what this is?

Yeah, it's Grandma's grapefruit knife.

She'd eat one every morning, sharp as she could get it.

Yeah, she never let us have any sugar.

Curve it around, separate the segments, pop.

Them in a mouth?

No, it pops between his ribs.

Punishment fits the crime.

Um, OK, how do you know it was actually Bilky?

I know.

Well, what about one of the others?

Burt or someone?

Rita couldn't abide deformity.

And she tried to poison him with the Lamingtons.

A lover's tiff?

And he had terrible BO as well, I know.

Stuck down a tunnel with him for two days, sharing the same sleeping bag.

Yes?

See you there.

He's efficient. That copper found boogie already.

Um, Grandpa.

What?

Can I watch the rest of the footage? Why?

Professional interest.

Go for your life. I don't need it.

For the third time, she said the invisible parties are a thing of the

And how does she expect to make a fucking living?

Yeah, well...

Never mind.

No, she does not call the shots around here. She needs to be told.

She's not round here, and she doesn't get to me.

We need the money.

The more you wind her up, the worse she is.

The main thing right now is getting this mortgage.

I don't want a fucking mortgage.

If you want this house, then we do.

I've never gone on my knees in front of a bank in my life.

Well, unless you can magic up a shitload of cash in the next five minutes, I

don't see we have a choice.

Talk to Nicky about this job.

Licking toilets?

It's not even a real job. It's just something to stick on a form.

I always work for myself.

You still do.

Nicky's just doing this as a favour to us.

He's all hot.

I think it's pretty bloody big of him, actually. Especially after what happened

with your son in the container.

It'll be okay, baby.

Fucking Cheryl!

Bloody Cheryl.

How could she?

I'll never be able to afford surgery now.

Dog sick again?

No, not for the dogs. For me.

I've always wanted to go upper cup size.

He's a tit man, the new bloke, eh? No, it's for me.

But you have great tits. Hey,

doesn't she have great tits?

No, I hadn't noticed. You've never noticed those?

See, that's why I need surgery.

No, you don't. Oh, I thought you hadn't noticed.

Well, they're not the sort of thing you comment on.

Hasn't stopped you speaking your mind before.

What about Ted?

No, Cyril.

I bet you you've got a new ear about this. You told her to can the invisible

parties. She's done it.

See? I knew it was his fault.

I was in her ear the whole time. Where is he?

I think he had a job running into ground.

Well, funnily enough, he was the only Bioki Van Hever in the phone book.

Bet he put up a fight.

Actually, he said he was quite keen to catch up. Said he'd be here with bells

on.

Brazen bugger.

Yeah, well, you got one bit right.

Oh, shit, where's my bloody knife? What knife?

Look, I can break a glass, use that.

Ted! I don't think Bilky is our man.

He bloody is.

Ted, look at him, look what he's wearing. Leather cap, give any clues?

What's wrong with the leather cap?

He's as camp as a row of pink ones. Pink what?

Tents.

No, Bilky never liked roughing it.

Ted, he's gay.

Nah, he loved the ladies.

Mad on Shirley Bassey.

Ted, you old rascal.

Aren't you looking good?

Port and lemon, you always liked it.

I was telling Wayne about that time we got trapped in the bog at the mount.

Hiding after a job in Taurong.

It was cramped, but we passed with time.

You don't butter me up.

This thing about Rita, awful.

You were always close, you two.

I adored Rita.

I know you did. She was a complete inspiration.

In the flat?

No.

Her shoes, her clothes, those saucy little outfits. So Jackie O.

So you never... Oh, sweetheart.

She'd never have come for me.

Must have been someone else.

She liked a bad boy.

Didn't we all?

Like them bad.

Like them old.

Bloody Phineas.

Must have been. Phineas O'Driscoll.

I thought he was a Catholic.

Why do you think they're all over the place, rooted their way around the

According to you, he was married.

Carol left him just before the Smith and Coys cock up. So?

Maybe she found out he was having it off with Rita.

And we can make up any story from this distance.

And he had a big basket on him.

So big it was almost frightening.

I know. I spent three nights in a van with him, casing a job.

Long nights, those ones.

And he was tall.

Dead ringer for Gary Bloody Savage, those little... Oh,

great, fine. Let's ring him up, then.

You don't believe me.

Well, you've got to admit, it's a bit tenuous.

I know the date. I know who was round.

What if it was someone you didn't know?

Happened during the date.

I was home most days.

One of the benefits of a career in safe cracking... You were away sometimes.

One of the lads would keep an eye on it. Or Pat. We did that for one another.

And you spent time with their wives.

You wouldn't shag Nyree Munro or Carol O'Driscoll. Faces like hatchets.

It was him.

I know it.

Okay, give me the details and I'll get on to it.

I already know where he is.

Well, probably better if I handle it.

So you didn't give him a warning like you did Bilky?

Do you want my help or not?

I want to lift home.

of it how you and grandma are so the same but she's so hot and you're so not.

Maybe it's the shoes.

What are you guys watching this for again?

What do you mean shh? There's no sound.

Because you don't wear heels.

Or maybe there's a sexy gene that just got passed to me.

Oh my god. I know. I'm brilliant.

No. You're an idiot.

What's this?

How can we watch it if you're playing it backwards, fuckface?

Wait. What are we meant to look for? Just watch it.

See if you can see it.

That ball.

It's all googly.

How is that important?

Well, it's only the best backyard cricket ball in the history of backyard

cricket. Oh, that's Grandpa. Just watch it.

She's looking at someone behind the camera.

Yeah, obviously there's someone.

So who is it?

Grandpa. Can't be Grandpa. We just saw him playing cricket.

You couldn't operate a camera and keep your eye on old Googly. There's just no

way. So who's behind the camera?

Well, I'm really confused, but I am right about the truth.

I know.

Who's holding the camera is a person, right? So it's either a man or a woman.

It wasn't a woman.

It was the kid next door.

Strange family they were. Couldn't understand a word they said.

They were foreign.

Why are you still watching this old crap?

Provisional interest, I told you.

Well, pack it up when you're finished.

Don't you need it anymore?

No.

I'm satisfied.

That was excellent.

Ah, you shouldn't have to look after the old goat.

Do you want to take over?

Fuck no.

So, did you find the Rita Ritter?

I didn't know you cared.

All those years of calling me slutty pants. Who's the slut now, eh?

I see.

Well, last laugh, you know.

So, it's all over with the invisible parties.

Told you that.

Well, my spies are everywhere.

Bloody Casey.

All right, they're not everywhere.

What brought that on?

I've had it.

That asshole.

I'm never going to forgive Wolf for what he did to Jethro and Danielle. And now,

you know, he wants me to hire his slapper to pay for his bloody house.

fuck him if he's going to get another cent out of me.

So that's your reason?

Yeah, what's wrong with it?

Laugh and laugh, stick it in the neck.

I get it. Nothing more?

No.

Better get back to it.

Don't the old fella do any damage?

I don't see what's wrong with maintenance.

Sounds like a cleaner.

Yeah, janitor.

What about personal trainer?

Sounds like a guy.

Not my job.

All those men touching each other on those bumpy machines. Yeah, definitely

homo.

And how would you know?

My nephew's a puffer. He's at Les Mills.

Oh, your nephew?

Yeah. What do you need a homo job for when you've got a perfectly good

A galleria.

You do remember?

That's under the table. I'd like to keep it that way. Well, there's an opening

in the store management.

That's your job.

Not for three months while I visit my sick mum in Samoa.

And how can you afford that?

I'm a good manager.

Well, you haven't managed anything my way lately.

Well, what have you put into our business lately, eh?

I ask you no goods, no appliances.

I've had other stuff. What, with other associates?

Yeah, maybe.

I wish you luck finding a new job.

Look, make out the title you want. There'll be a weekly check.

No.

I don't need the money.

I need the title to keep the bank happy.

Right.

Something's come to my attention about Jethro's girlfriend.

I don't know her.

Someone hassled her cute.

Don't know anything about that either.

Where I come from, that kind of thing's not on.

Well, where I come from, people I care about don't have to scrounge for

groceries. We're fine.

Not the impression I get when Cherie called me from packing safe.

Your cat got declined.

Sure is fine.

Good to hear.

Because I care about my sister a lot.

So go ahead, pick a title.

Call yourself managing director or anything else you want.

Don't forget that.

Who wants them? You.

Go and try that on. Excuse me a second, lady.

What is going on?

You missed out, Nicky.

Why did you call in from Packingstack?

Because I needed some hoochie party shit and I was out of cash.

Well, don't they have petty cash for that?

Yeah, oh, can't we invest?

Look, go, go, go, go, go. I'm busy here, baby.

Sorry, girls, where were we? A shop, I think.

Give me a few minutes.

Now, who needs some...

She put her down.

She's so beautiful and witchy. Yeah, but she needs routine, Pascal.

Do you think if me and Mel had a baby, she'd be this gorgeous?

Of course.

I mean, I know he was an attractive, but I am, and he had a beautiful spirit.

Yeah.

What are you doing here?

I've just come to see my granddaughter.

She doesn't want to see you?

She's a baby. What does she care?

I don't want her to see you either.

Popularity, aren't you?

You want to take a shot at me?

You go right ahead. But playing bullshit games, losing us a shitload of money,

how's that going to help anything?

You've lost way more than that. What are you on about? That shit about Danielle,

I didn't know any of it. Well, that makes all the difference, doesn't it? I

what I had to do. Yep, and so have I.

Oh, fine, if that's the way you want to play it. I'm not playing anything. This

is about you and me. No, I should have done the stage of the go.

Okay, up to you.

Yeah, this.

I don't want to fight.

Never gets us anywhere.

You're always so fucking stubborn.

And you're a pushover.

Look, this isn't going to go away.

There's a connection here.

It's not going to end.

How could it?

What, you mean the kids?

Hmm.

Come on.

It's called the fucking cruise here.

All right, you wave the white flag.

I can do concessions. Name one.

You don't want Cherie working for you? Fine, you get no argument from me. And

I'm not changing my mind. No tax shit, no more money laundering.

Right.

I might go see Van then.

What for?

Oh, just to catch up, see what he's up to.

G'day.

So what are you watching?

Oh, movie.

Prison House Vixen.

A bit of an oldie.

Yeah, it's a bit of a laugh, eh?

So not too busy then?

Oh, no, me months we get a bit off.

Yeah, yeah.

Doing a retaining wall.

But not right now, eh?

Well, no.

We are 24 -7, but we don't get a lot at night.

So you might have a bit of time for your old man?

Something he's fixing at Jeffro's.

No, more of an outside job.

Letterbox.

No van.

A night job?

Cash job?

I need a look at her, right?

It was just... I could get a call out.

But you're my son and I need your help.

You were.

If I did, or if I didn't, could I maybe end up like

Jethro?

What's that got to do with it? Nothing.

More about Munter, actually.

No.

You stay here, playing with yourself.

Clearly that's more important.

See ya.

Call me when you're not so conflicted.

What was that about?

Nothing. What did he want? He didn't want anything, all right? But I said no.

Good. Well, Munter couldn't build that wall on his own. That's your reason?

Well, it's a big wall.

Van, you know how I feel about this.

Yeah, well, you were off the dodgy ship, and then maybe I thought you were into

it, and then the ship with Jethro's real shitty, but he... It got very

confusing.

Can I go now?

Yeah. Thank you.

Where have you been?

Taking care of business.

Aren't you clever.

A bit of life in the old dog yet.

I'll say so.

I'll say goodbye then.

Sorry, Nara.

Are you the dead sheep?

No, no, no, you don't. I've got a cab waiting.

Yeah, well, I want to say something to everyone.

Everyone's not here.

Yeah, well, do throw, yeah. My baby Jane, she's someone.

Yeah, well, she doesn't need to hear it. She can wait till she's old enough. Oh,

God, she's going to do one of her sermons.

No, I'm not.

From now on, blah, blah, blah, there will be no blah, blah, blah.

And if anyone blah, blah, blah, you can move out, commit hurry, carry, or sleep

under a bridge.

Hurry, carry.

Like Indian takeout.

Like hurry with the curry.

Yeah, okay. And the curry will probably hurry out your bum. Van, Van, Van,

listen. No, no, listen, listen.

All I want to say to you, right, all I want to say to you is that from now on,

the tax thing, right, it's not happening. So from now on.

I just want you to know that there is nothing dodgy or illegal going on.

Did you do something?

No, I just watched Prison Vixens, not even the whole way through.

Well, all I've done is care for a baby while being a widow.

My point is, we're not doing anything illegal or dodgy, right?

But even Loretta hasn't done anything bad for ages.

This is totally a case of physician heal themselves.

No, it's not a doctor.

Yeah, but you get my point, right? But as long as you know that that's how it's

going to be from now on.

You can make all the rules you like.

Doesn't matter to me.

See you all.

You never.

Where's he going?

Shit.

Hey, Loretta. Is Grandpa with you?

No. He's gone out with his knife.

You know a guy called Phineas O'Driscoll?

Yeah.

Lovely day for it.

You bastard! You bloody

bastard!

After all the time we spent together, all I did for you, how could you do

You knew how I felt for her, you knew.

Until you put the moves on her.

You knocked her up, didn't you?

Aren't you going to say anything?

We'll both catch you talking.

Talk!

Or I'll gut you like a grapefruit.

It's been three days and she's still not talking.

To the Americans? No, on probation.

No, he's a major hunk and he loves kids and dogs. Oh.

Ho.

Ho.

Oh, how was the lead thing?

Well, those girls were everything that you said they would be, but get a bit of

tequila into them and boy did they spend.

Don't you want to check how I did?

Is it for real?

Wow.

Not bad.

Um, it's kind of a record for a single -handed party.

Sign me up.

Give me the tax forms.

Happy to do more.

How do you feel about a trip to the Naki?

Trying to get rid of me, Cheryl.

Wolf and I, we need a mortgage.

And if I don't have a job, then we are in shit.

Major doo -doo.

I know that you have issues with him. I don't.

Well, you might.

What with Jethro and Wolf being with me and me being younger. I don't.

But I will get on my knees and beg if that is what you want. I don't want

I'll do it, Cheryl, if it means a job.

You did good.

Really?

Want me to say it again?

I'll give you one last chance.

I'll hear your prayers.

Dick, stay away!

Give it up.

Leave the poor old bugger alone.

He's holding out, laughing at me.

He's had a stroke.

Always their excuses.

Had to go to mass, drop my bloody rosary. He can't talk because he's had a

stroke. I know he's guilty.

Grandpa... Stay out of it!

It wasn't him, Ted.

Couldn't have been. You're just trying to stop me.

Do you want to know why Carol left him?

You talked to her?

Yes. She was very helpful about a lot of things.

Like how she left him because he was firing blank.

Rubbish. He was bursting with it.

Always. She was married to him for seven years. No kids.

She remarried, three kids and four.

He's a Catholic, but still never had kids.

Is that true?

You better not be lying to me.

Ow!

Bloody idiot.

That hurt.

Well, it's meant to.

Come with me and I'll tell you who did it.

I went and saw the old neighbours at Aztec Road.

The Poms or the Packies?

Poms. Your lady was quite helpful.

She's still going.

She's not much older than you.

You can understand a word she said.

Do you want to hear this or not?

She's quite a good memory for comings and goings.

She particularly remembers a man who used to visit in the day and during the

night.

A man with a limp.

No!

She swore them once.

That's it.

Fond farewell was her expression.

She hated him.

All right, Ted.

Evidence is there.

The bastard's dead.

Yeah, I know.

Do you want another one?

No. Places to be, things to do.

I couldn't forget you, you smelly bastard.

Nice

work,

Wayne.

You wanted an answer, I wanted to get some work done.

And Boots did, which is helpful.

Pity it's all bullshit.

I did do the legwork. I checked it out.

You finessed it.

It's a result he's happy with.

It wasn't Bert, and you know it.

What makes you think that?

Well, I saw it on the film.

What, they hold up a card someone do semaphore?

No. It was the look. People always look at one another.

No, Wayne.

I've noticed this.

People don't hold a look for that long.

Unless they have a reason.

An intimate reason.

It was the kid next door.

Who is he?

Ted's happy. It's put to bed.

The last thing we need is him trying to stab somebody with that stupid knife.

That is my grandmother's grapefruit knife.

It's over.

Well, for him, but not for me.

I need to know that I'm right.

So, I could go round to Aztec Road myself.

Or I could wind up Grandpa.

Or you could tell me.

A name.

All I want.

What are they on about?

Some crap about Rochelle's boyfriend.

He'll be a loser.

Is that him?

No, do I look sad?

No! Come on, I've got to go soon. No, you can't.

Terribly sorry to keep you waiting.

Bit hard to be a mobile manager when you're not exactly mobile.

What happened?

I came out this morning, looked for my car.

Looked for it for ages, actually.

Then I realized that... It's stolen.

Shit.

You wouldn't credit

it in a civilized society, would you?

But you'll get another one.

Well, we'll see how it pans out.

Well, um, these look good. Uh, boxing instructor?

Yeah.

At my brother's gym.

I might come see you. Always wanted to try it out.

Anytime, Rocky.

Hoochie Mama.

Yeah, it's underwear.

Mostly for women.

I know.

You're a bit partial to the ladies' underwear, are you, Lordy? Ah!

Won't be long. Just these signatures.

Okay.

You and Lloyd Draper.

Lloyd for our wedding. I know. Isn't it amazing?

You guys hogged up.

I know. I met him at puppy class. He's got this little Schnauzer. Oh, my God.

It's so cute. They both are.

Well, I'll get back to you. Just a rubber stamp, really.

Want another?

Yeah, why not?

He got a mortgage.

You didn't fire Cherie. Why would I?

Because you could. Even if I was that peppy, it wouldn't bring my son back,

would it?

Hey.

Is he in the house?

He went through muttering something about Bert Thompson.

God, I can't believe Rita went for him.

Why? It's shocking, B .O.

Oh, well.

Who knows what goes on with women.

People get mad when they're hurt. I know that much.

Yeah, they do.

Wayne? Yep?

I feel better.

I feel heaps better.

No more tax ships.

And it's not about him.

No.

It was the wrong reason.

But the right thing.

Feel better for it.

Good.

Crap.

Crap. More crap.

Hello. Hi. Ben Gardner from council. I got a message.

It says about zoning.

You're Welsh.

Yes. No wonder he couldn't understand you.

I'm sorry. You look so much like... Rita? Yeah, I get that a lot, though not

sexy. But then you'd know that, since you were rooting her.

I did no such thing to her. I think you did.

Rooting?

It was a connection of souls, music of the heavens, silk and a garter belt,

to die for. I died for the love of her.

I'll take that as a yes.

Now is not too late, heaven can wait another year

or so.

Sharp as a grapefruit,

fixed on a stick.

She always was.

Yeah.

I pissed on his grave, Bert Thompson.

But the knife, it's still in here.

Come on, old fella.

It's finished now.

They're all liars.

All sluts. Women.

Not all of them.

Say one thing, do another.

What are you doing?

Packing this up.

Not when we've got Debbie Does Dallas mint condition.

Prison house fixings.

Only a happy hour we had watching this, me and the lads.

And a packet of round wines.

Jesus. There's some bickies upstairs if you're up for it.

Oh, I didn't take to it at first, being here. I missed my friends in Aberdare.

How old were you?

I was 14 when we moved in. She was 18.

23 when I last saw her.

Wow. Toy boy.

I was nearer her age than he was.

Ted had no idea about half the things she loved.

Music, the pictures.

Movies? We used to muck around with a camera.

Did you know that she was pregnant in 1969?

I begged her to leave him.

Instead, she cut me off, went away.

I took a lot of drugs, rooted a lot of women.

I never got over her.

Is that what you wanted to know?

Yeah.

If there was anything else, it'd be my pleasure to take you out for dinner

sometime.

Me?

Yes, I understand. It's probably a little odd. No.

I'd like that.
