You know that Hayden and I are starting this brothel. I'm not going to work in

some gay brothel. Ben, I'm offering you a job. As what? Managing the tall guys.

I'd train you up.

No. Do you want to go out tonight?

Sorry?

Wow.

You look amazing.

I shouldn't be near any guys. I get so fucked up about it.

You know that you're actually a little bit cute.

Interesting.

Remember inviting you two?

We invited ourselves.

Seemed it must be an oversight.

Not really.

It would be an honour for me if you christened a room I worked on. You could

have happily married me.

I'd pay for it, Gooch.

Maybe Loretta will give you a freebie because you're her brother. The answer

that is a resounding no. Thank you. If you do get laid tonight, it'll be you

your five best friends.

Are you guys okay for drinks?

Why? Do we have to pay for them?

Just checking you're having a good time.

Why?

Does there have to be a reason?

Usually. Okay, there is a reason.

I've got some really good news.

With the opening of the club and everything, I've been reassessing my

priorities. I need to focus on my core business, which means that you guys can

finally take control of what is yours.

I'm not going to manage the tall guys anymore.

Who is?

The trainee manager, of course.

Oh, and don't forget, GST is due at the end of the month.

Okay.

I'm not sure how they qualify this, good news.

No, actually, I don't work here. But thanks for asking.

No worries.

Hey, Pisgah.

Hi, Erin.

Haven't seen you for a few days or heard from you. Yeah, I've been a bit busy,

eh?

Willow, get a move on.

I've got a work meeting to go to. OK, I'll text you.

OK. Bye.

You guys heading out?

Yeah, the other rest of the team. Need some company?

Normally Mr J, but tonight's all about business.

It's all about business.

Van will be managing us. No, it's been training, haven't you?

Sure, I'm all over it.

Loretta, teach me about GST?

Yes.

And that, in a nutshell, is how GST works. OK?

OK.

That's good.

Those GST people can be scary as... Got to go. Want a ride home?

Sure.

Go to tools.

You don't actually know shit about GST, do you? Well, it's pretty fucking

complicated, man, working out what 10 % of everything is. 12 .5. What? It's 12

.5%, not 10.

Oh, well, fuck, that just makes it even more complicated.

No one in the world could work that shit out. I think it's fair to say we've got

management issues.

Man, if only there was a place where I could go to learn all the stuff that

Loretta was so shit at teaching me.

You mean like a how -to -run -your -own -business course at like the tech down

the road?

Well, they do stuff like that. They have these one -week starter courses. Me and

Rochelle, we're going to do one now that we're management at Vertical.

But in the end, we couldn't be arsed, and it costs like $300.

We have $300.

Where? Yeah, in the petty cash.

Sure. Oh, yeah. There's cash in petty cash. Yeah, if there's any left. Not

I want to bag your sister ban, but if Loretta doesn't need you anymore, by

tomorrow there probably won't be any company, let alone any petty cash.

Hurry up, man. Shut up. I'm out of practice.

Oh, fucking thing.

Here, give me a clue. No, you're a torch guy. I'm a crowbar guy. Just get the

light up there so I can see what I'm doing. What are you morons doing?

Well, it's what you're doing that's more of the point. I was trying to sleep

until I heard the infernal racket from down here.

Yeah, well, they're our books and our petty cash books. And you can't go

us off, look at it, because it's not right. Yeah, and don't bother lying to

because we'll know. You mean the tool guy's books? You bet your ass we do. The

ones in the boxes marked...

Tool guy's book.

Yes, those ones.

Take them, I don't want them.

In a petty cash box? Also in there.

I'll bill you for the damage to my filing cabinet.

Van and Munter, to say they have shit for brains is an insult to manure.

You left early.

Work, you know.

Everyone else still there?

Hayden and Loretta have gone to bed.

Look, I know you're avoiding me and that's fine.

But I just want to say one thing and that's that I'm sorry.

What for?

What happened.

It was all my fault.

Leave it.

It wasn't you, it was me.

You don't have to say sorry, I'm sorry.

No, I'm sorry.

So where does that leave us now, apart from the bit where we're avoiding each

other?

Well, what about the bit where what we did was so wrong?

I suppose.

And so many ways better go.

Well, it didn't feel wrong at the time.

No.

It was still wrong.

Her Majesty requires a glass of water, and she can't be bothered going and

getting it herself, I am.

Women, eh?

They'll be the death of us.

Night.

Night, Pascal.

Night, mate.

That gets us to $102 .10.

But we need $300 for the course.

We've got the IOUs. You saw from Van? Yeah.

Got any money?

Any genius ideas how we're going to come up with another $200?

Anyone?

Yes.

Oi!

Rent money. Hand it over.

Eh? Rent money, now.

But I gave you rent last month. Yeah, well, you can give it to me this month

well. Two hundy, now.

I'm just this great big fat money cock to you, aren't I? You think all you have

to do is stroke me and I'll spoof out Dosh? Nope, I don't think that, Eric.

we go, three hundy and lunch money.

Go, learn, make us proud. Yeah!

You ready?

Sorry.

Do you know where the small business course is around here somewhere?

You do?

Oh, cool. Are you going that way?

Kind of because I... Shit. Hold on.

Oi!

Okay, well, I think we'd better get started. Jump in, sir.

Oh, very good.

Welcome.

We're just about to start.

Have you lost something?

Um... No, I'm sweet.

I'm sweet.

Good.

What I want today is just to throw you in at the deep end and see how you get

with the concept of form and figure.

I think we're ready when you are.

I don't want you to think about what you're doing. I just want you to

the human form.

It stands before you in all its glory.

Okay begin.

Is there a problem?

No, I can meet you down there. Okay.

Cool.

Great.

Just popping out.

See that guy about the car? He had a quote.

Oh.

This isn't me avoiding you.

I know.

I'm glad we had that talk.

Yeah.

I've been thinking about it for a while.

Me too.

Most of the night.

Yeah.

I think we should shut the door on it.

As far as you and me are concerned, or anyone else, it never happened.

Um... I don't think I understand.

It's like, you know, when you're a cop and you write stuff, details, down in

your notebook, but later on, if you don't want to use it or you don't want

let it come out, you tear the page out of the book and it's gone. It never

happened.

So that whole page in someone's life is just gone?

I just think it's the best way, don't you? Before a whole bunch of people get

hurt. Fine.

Well, we're whipping pages out of books and deciding what never happened. Let's

just pretend this isn't happening, okay? Right now, and that you're not actually

pissing me off, okay?

Okay. I didn't actually mean it was okay.

On my way out here, Alan.

Whoa, it's the lady I wanted to see.

She's all yours.

I'm a bit busy, Aaron.

Oh, OK, fine. I'll cut to the chase.

The other night, you, me, the most beautiful kiss in the world, and then

nothing.

Do you want to tell me what's going on?

Nothing.

It never happened, OK?

Well... I beg to differ. You need to forget about me, Aaron, because I'm not

worth it.

Again, I beg to differ. Listen to me, okay? You don't want anything to do with

me. No, that's not true. Apparently, I'm too much trouble, and if you get

involved with me, then everything just gets fucked up, which is right, because

it's the story of my fucking life.

Go away, Aaron.

It never happened, and I'm not worth it.

Go away!

Mr. J.

Aaron, we need to talk about Pascal.

What about her? Well, there's a problem, and I think we both know what the

problem is.

Well, why don't you tell me?

Well, she's angry and laughing out against herself, and I know why.

The way she's been used.

You know, taken advantage of.

If I had him here, I'd do him.

I'd kill that bastard, and I wouldn't even blink.

Who?

Nikki G.

The way he treated her.

You know, no wonder she has issues.

Yeah, well, nothing anybody can do about Nikki G now.

I can.

By healing the hurt.

Yeah, good luck there.

I love her, Mr. J.

Why are you telling me this?

Well, because I don't think she gets it, eh? I think she thinks... I'm one of

those guys who just wants to root her, then forget her because we've scored the

goddess. Well, that's not me, Mr. J, because my feelings are real. Why are

friggin' telling me this?

Because you know her and you're like her stepdad.

And you can help me.

You want my help?

Man up and show her how you feel instead of whining to me about it. And if

you're too gutless to take the risk, then maybe you don't deserve it.

I beg Mr. J.

Yeah, um, maybe this afternoon you can just focus a little bit more on

the basics of the human form, you know, with less embellishment and maybe

focusing a little bit less on certain parts of the female... We're doing more

this this afternoon?

Yes. So when do we do, like, figures and stuff?

Well, it's all about figure and form. It is the life drawing class.

Yeah, yeah, well, of course it is.

Yeah. All right.

Hey.

Hey.

Hey.

How you doing?

Hey, um, I just wanted to say that I thought you were a choice.

With the whole, uh, standing thing, it was... Oh, you got to be somewhere.

Okay, but you're coming back this afternoon, right?

So wasn't too hard with the mess and everything, bro?

No, no, no, that was pretty good. Yeah, because mess used to suck, eh?

I love mess. Good for you, but we sucked at mess.

Actually, your school sucked, except lunchtime. Yeah, well, I'm just doing my

best, eh? Which spreadsheet are you using?

Well, we haven't spread the sheets as yet, the Gooch, but we'll

do that this afternoon probably, eh?

Yeah. Because you're in charge of our destiny, eh, bro? Yeah. You've got to

remember stuff, all the details, right?

Yeah. Well, I remember everything from this morning, that's for sure. That's

what we need to hear.

Yeah. Hey, I'd better get back to it, eh? Doing the hard yards?

Yeah, real hard, bro. Drop for it, eh? Yeah.

Yeah.

That man is doing us proud.

Hey, again.

Hey, um, I just... Sorry, I just want to say I think you're awesome at what you

do. Yeah.

And I don't just mean standing in the nutty in front of everyone, even though

some of them are seriously pervy at... But I'm not.

I'm not. I don't. I don't. I don't mean I'd perv at you.

I don't.

And I...

You don't say much, do you?

Um... My name's Ben.

And, um... Want to go get a drink with us?

Pascal says he's not hungry.

Fine. You two in for dinner?

Can I take it to the club with me?

Do what you like.

Is there enough for the girls too?

I'm not running a fucking soup kitchen here, Loretta. Some people know what's

the fight, Wayne.

Hey, guys.

Hey, Erin.

Hope you're not expecting dinner, Erin. We're not a soup kitchen, apparently.

This girl here?

She doesn't want to be disturbed, but for you, she's in her room.

I said I wasn't hungry.

Not now, Erin.

I've got something to say to you, and I'm gonna say it.

I want to be that guy, Pascal.

I want to be that guy who's got your back whenever you need.

And I want to be the guy who takes care of you.

Who doesn't trash you like all those other guys have.

I want to be the guy who looks after you and keeps you safe.

Aaron. For all those reasons and about a million others.

Will you marry me?

Okay, I realise this has come as something of a surprise.

Aaron. But if you need some time to think about it, that's okay. Why? Why

you doing this?

Because I love you.

And because Mr. J said I should go for it, and he was right.

What did he say?

That I should man up and tell you how I feel, and this is what I'm doing.

Put him up to that.

Who up to what? Aaron.

What's he done?

Did you talk to him?

Yeah, I talked to him. I told him to talk to you about how he feels, son.

Fucking unbelievable.

Aaron, what have you done?

Oh, my God.

Oh, my God. You asked her to marry you?

Not for now. Oh, come on. I know this is tragic, but it's also too good.

I might go home now.

Oh, priceless.

So, um, how was class this afternoon?

Oh, it was good.

Get done GST yet?

Ah, no, not yet.

But it's all useful stuff, right?

Oh, it's just...

Pretty much.

Because I hate to think we wasted our last 300 on a course that wasn't turning

out to be very useful.

Hey, bro, you know the thing when I know there's something you're not telling

me?

Yeah, you're really good at that, eh?

There's something you're not telling me.

OK, check.

Bro, you're meant to be studying, not chasing pussy.

No, I am studying.

I promise.

Because if you're not, because you're moaning over some chick in your class.

I'm not. I swear. I'm not, okay? And she's not actually in the class, see?

You've fallen for the teacher? Bro, it's yes even all over again when you ended

up humping Miss Norris's leg. No, it's not. And she's not the teacher. What is

she then? Well, she's kind of the model.

What model?

The nude model that we're...

Drawing pictures of?

Why the fuck are you drawing pictures of a nude model in a small business class?

You went to the wrong class.

Van, you idiot. It was an easy mistake to make. Not really.

By the time I'm sitting there and there's this awesome naked chick in

me, what am I supposed to do? Get up and find the right class.

She won't talk to me, though.

I don't know why.

Van, listen to me.

We're relying on you to come through for us, bro. Yeah, yeah, yeah. But why

won't you talk to me? I don't know. Maybe she's deaf.

What?

Of course.

Like you are now when I tell you how much we're counting on you.

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

Okay, so tomorrow you find the right class.

Can you catch up on everything you missed out on, especially GST?

Are you listening to me?

It's only you.

Yeah, sorry I got lost. You didn't happen to come across any male models

you were lost?

No. I should have. Well, he's not here.

You might as well go home.

Whoa.

Sorry, what?

Why? Well, we did the female form yesterday, and today we were going to do

female and male, but without a male, we might as well move on to something else.

The human hand.

You may go.

Go?

Yeah. Oi.

Hold on.

Sorry? I'll be the male model.

Well, you paid to study, not to model. Yeah, I know, but that's all hands.

That's all you saw.

Your hands are full?

Mm -hm.

OK.

Well, if the young lady doesn't mind, he would

like to model with you.

Up here?

He models with you together.

Is this okay?

Yes.

Fine. We have our model there.

If you'd be so kind.

Today we explore the differences between the male and female form.

Different lines, the points of confrontation and confluence between he

The essence of what makes us man and woman.

If we could manage something a little more natural, that would be good.

So? Where is it? What? Oh, you know...

Where is it?

Where's the ring? Oh, that.

Oh, you'd better not have said no.

How do you know about it?

We were here when he bought it.

The princess cut for a princess.

Exquisite choice.

Also the most expensive choice.

Oh, God.

Did you say no to that lovely boy?

Aaron Spiller is not a lovely boy. He's Aaron Spiller, and I didn't actually say

no. So you said yes?

No, I didn't say anything.

I kind of, other stuff kind of got in the way. What is more important than a

asking you to marry him? After he bought that gorgeous, expensive ring for you.

It's from a dodgy salmon in a shitty bar.

He gave up so much for you.

Luckily, we accept tow trucks here.

He swapped Muffy for an engagement ring.

Mm -hmm.

Poor thing. He was almost crying.

Well, I think that's more than enough excitement for one day.

Hey.

Hey. Hey.

You're really fast, eh?

Hey. I just want to say I'm sorry.

Okay?

For the stiffy.

You know, stiffy. I'm sorry for the... Yeah, I know. I'm sorry. I couldn't help

it because you're so hot.

Really. Are you... Are you... Choice.

You're choice.

Choice.

You can speak.

English not so good.

You, you're not deaf?

No. You.

Not deaf.

Oh,

that is so good.

Ben?

Yeah, Ben.

You remember my name?

Oh my God, that is so amazing because no contest. You are the most amazing

woman I have met in such a long time. Not that I meet heaps. And when I do it,

it doesn't always go very well.

Slowly.

I not understand.

Okay.

Yeah, I can do it.

Probably.

I must go.

What?

Wait, wait.

What's your name?

She didn't actually say no.

We're between the fucking lines, Aaron.

You gave it your best shot, it didn't work, now move on.

What if I don't want to move on?

What if I want to stay where I am, but with Pascal?

It ain't never going to happen.

It might.

Aaron, in life, shit happens. It just happened to you, now deal with it.

Is that the best you've got?

Shit happens.

I can't give up on her now.

I'm this close to the goddess.

She is no fucking goddess.

Jesus. When are you going to get that through your thick skull?

She's beautiful and big -hearted and unique. You don't have to tell me that.

But she is no goddess.

She makes dumb decisions. She doesn't think through the consequences. And

used you, mate.

Even if she didn't mean to. She's led you round by the balls. Nah.

Yeah, yeah.

Screwed with your head.

Erin Pascal could have any guy she wanted. Why would she choose you?

Sorry, mate.

It's time to face up to it and move on.

So you're just putting your wheel right to class today? Yep.

Yep. Yeah, yeah, yeah. It's good. It's good.

Ah, we learned about the invisible man.

He supplies stuff.

You know, but we've got to demand it.

You didn't go, did you?

Yeah. Yeah, no, I did.

Yeah.

For a bit.

Fucking outrageous.

You've got to see this girl, man.

Hey. She's not deaf.

She's foreign.

What's that?

Hmm? What'd you say, little van? Hey, the vanitron's not little.

You don't give a shit about us tours getting done over by the IRT, bro, as

as you get your end of the way. No, it's not that, man.

She's different.

Yeah? Yeah, man, she is.

Who ever heard that before?

Aurora anyone?

Cherie? Yeah, okay.

Okay, I've heard some shit with women. Tell me about it. But that doesn't mean

have to be crap all my life, does it?

Jesus, bro, we're fucking screwed.

Yeah, well, there's more to life than fucking GST, man.

We've been looking at body in faith.

Today we'll be looking at bodies in time.

We're ready for you.

Yep.

Can we open the switch?

I want to talk to Aaron.

What if he doesn't want to talk to you?

Can you just piss off?

It's okay, guys.

I've got to give him a bottle.

Yeah, no need to.

Watch. What did you say?

Watch sounds creepy.

Sorry.

I'm not going to marry you, Aaron.

Yeah, well, that was a waste of a fucking good truck.

Well, maybe Filani will swap it back. I don't need any advice from you.

I don't need anything from you.

I'm seeing you through new eyes and Mr. J was right, you're not got it.

Hang on, he said that about me, Wayne Judd?

Yeah, so what? It's true, isn't it?

What else did he say? He said plenty.

Plenty that made sense. Can you just fucking tell me what he said?

About how you don't think stuff through and you kind of make dumb decisions.

Shit, Pascal, I got really pissed.

I can't remember exactly what he said. I mean, God, what does it matter?

It matters when someone you thought you knew starts saying shit like that about

you. I mean, like, he thinks he's so fucking cool and Mr. Perfect. Well, he

not. He's so far from perfect.

He walks around like nothing can get to that Mr. Oh -So -Cool bullshit wall that

he's got up.

He's not perfect.

Why not perfect?

Hey.

Hey.

Hey.

You're here.

You are here. I mean, you weren't there, but you're here.

Jaws. Jaws.

Jaws. Jaws.

I wanted to show you these.

These are some drawings that I did

of you.

Me? Yeah. Yeah, that's you. And this is you.

And that's you.

You?

You are hot. And me?

Biggest. Woody for you ever.

What's your name?

Your name?

Me, my name is Van. Your name?

Yelena.

Yelena what?

Of what?

Here.

Write it there.

Pretty.

Yelena.

I must go.

What?

No, no, no, wait, wait, wait.

Please, please don't run away again.

Please, no, because the thought of not seeing you again makes me want to puke,

because I swear on my God, I swear on my life, I've not wanted to be with anyone

as much as I want to be with you, or at least not in a really long time, and

it's too fast. Oh, my God, Drew.

Oh, wait.

No, wait, wait, wait.

Mr. Jack.

Mr. Billum. We've got a problem.

What?

I don't know how to put this, but there's something seriously sick going

it's so twisted and perverse it makes me want to flush my potty brain for even

thinking it. What are you talking about?

Pascal.

And you.

I don't know how to put this, but do you reckon with the tour of you and the

house and her mum away, she may have developed...

feelings for you you know like bad feelings i mean because because you're

this father figure to her right and and now with all this shit in her life she's

like um she's like projecting it onto you having evil dirty thoughts and and

hates you because she wants you and she can't have you and that's why she can't

love anyone else because of this thick crush she's got on you

Spilly, where did you get this shit from?

Well, Pascal, in this, um, this program I saw an insect.

Yeah.

Don't worry, I'm leaving.

What are you doing?

I'm sorting this shit out.

By keeping me prisoner?

Yeah, if necessary.

By shit, do you mean the shit that you told Aaron about me?

I told him the truth up to a point.

Up to the point where I'm this stupid bit who uses people. What the hell was I

meant to tell him? That I'm in love with you?

Because, yeah, that would have gone down real well.

Made things even more screwed up than they already are.

I thought we'd rip that page out of the book.

Easier said than done.

I don't know how you did it, Pascal, but you are up here.

And I can't get rid of it.

Do you want to get rid of it?

No.

So unless you've got a plan...

Oh, dude, what happened?

No. Serious looking nuzzling? Yeah.

Want a beer?

Uh, yeah, yeah. We're celebrating.

What? Well, Aaron's had a bit of a tough time, but he's emerged stronger,

bigger, taller.

Amen to that.

And the Gooch, talk about still rivers running deep.

Gooch, leave that shit alone.

I reckon the IRD owes us money.

Well, how'd you work that out then? Well, Loretta was paying us in sex, so

weren't actually earning much, but we're still spending on materials.

Gooch, do you know about GST?

I used to do the GST for my mum's flower shop when I was a kid, eh?

Well, shit, why didn't you say?

Not management.

Go to the Gooch.

So, how's your dad's school?

Ah, it's all right.

You talk to the hot, foreign chick, you babe?

You told her?

Yeah, well, we're all tools, bro. We're all in this together. It's like my new

thing around here.

I think we can all be management.

Okay.

So, how'd it go?

Yeah, foreigners are real protective of their daughters, eh? Especially hot

daughters. At least I've still got this.

This is her.

This is my Elena.

Hello.

You in for dinner?

Yep, I think I am.

So basically we're going to have to lie our asses off.

Pretty much.

I can do that.

Even if it's wrong?

Not feel wrong.

Someone going to get that?

Hi.

Hi, love.

Hi, Mum.

Hey, doll, guess where I'm calling from?

Christchurch? No, back up here.

Here?

Yeah, yeah, Bailey argued with the trial coming up and everything. I needed to

be back in Auckland so she could be closer to her client, so... Wow, that is

great.

Everyone, Mum's back in Auckland.

Yep, so you can all...

is now knocked due to this. Wayne there?

Yep.

Hey, here he is again.
