CHARLIE: Ever seen a dead body?

As a kid I had seen hundreds.

Stabbed. Slashed.

Bleeding.

Almost every time I turned on the TV.

Just...

...never in person.

Are you ready?

Adults make such a big deal about everything.

Always terrified

kids are gonna be scarred for life by every little thing.

But it's just a dead body.

Is it really him?

It was the first time I'd seen her so... helpless.

(STIFLES SOB) Like SHE was the kid.

Of course it was him. He didn't look THAT different.

I'd seen him lying around the house heaps of times.

Except this time I could definitely tell

he wasn't sleeping.

Or passed out.

He was gone.

That's what people do.

They leave.

ZEKE: Are you worried?

About today?

It's not like I'm the one giving the eulogy.

(GULPS)

It's still gonna be full-on, though.

Think many people are gonna be there?

I hope not.

I mean, where were they when he was alive?

Seems pretty dog to rock up now and pretend to care.

It's not like he can see them.

People don't always know how to show it.

That doesn't mean they don't care.

He didn't.

Otherwise he wouldn't have left.

This isn't about you, Charlie.

He was really hurting.

Then he should've let me help him.

Why wasn't I enough?

SHANE: Thank you, um... for coming... for coming today.

Matty would've really appreciated... (SNIFFLES)

...most of you being... (CRIES)

I know it means a lot to me and my family, so...

Matty was always my right-hand man.

Always. (SNIFFLES)

He was always

willing to go along with whatever I made him do.

(SNIFFLES)

And he never asked for much for himself.

If he did,

we would've known a little bit more

about what he was going through.

You know, maybe this would make sense.

And I should've known that he wasn't...

I should've known that he wasn't...

(QUIET CHATTER CONTINUES)

Why are you avoiding me?

Shh!

What?

I've sent you, like, a million texts.

Did I do something wrong?

(QUIETLY) I'm not avoiding you.

I've just been busy.

Well, I thought we had a really good night.

We did.

So?

I don't wanna end up like him.

Do you want me to leave you alone?

No. Just...

I can't talk right now.

So, when?

Tonight's the draft.

I'm not getting in, but...

...Mum's having a few people around.

Probably sneak out for a bit.

Text me.

Yeah? Sure.

REPORTER: At 7:04 Perth time history was made.

DAVID KALISCH: Yes responses -

(CHEERING)

Representing 61.6% of clear responses.

(CHEERING CONTINUES)

For some it was a special family moment.

It was a wonderful feeling to call my son at home

to say, "Hey, guess what - you get to marry who you want."

For others it was more personal.

Mum.

Neil Connery and Geoff Bishop

have been together for 30 years.

NEIL CONNERY: We're no different to other people.

We don't ask for any special treatment.

We just want to be happy. Dad.

Messages of support from across the world.

#marriageequality trending.

And our very own Kylie saying, "Love is love."

It's been one of the most talked-about, most debated,

most divisive votes in our history,

finally settled.

MALCOLM TURNBULL: They voted Yes for fairness.

They voted Yes for commitment.

They voted Yes for love.

(ROARS)

(YELLS) Yo! Kevin!

Whoo-hoo!

(LOUD SMASHING)

ALICIA: Oi!

I know you're in there, Kevin!

Come on out! Get out of here!

Come and face me, you fucking coward!

You wanted to fuck me, well, come out and fuck me!

(LOUD BASHING) (SIREN WAILS IN DISTANCE)

You already fucked my life, Kevin!

I hope you're fuckin' happy!

You fuckin' sick, filthy paedophile!

(SIREN WAILS)

(SIREN WAILS)

Argh!

(SIREN WAILS)

(SIREN WAILS)

(SIGHS) Thank you.

Please, don't. I don't want a lecture.

You okay?

I once sat, uh...

...right where you're sitting now.

I wasn't always a priest, you know.

Your Dad and I, ah...

...we stole a car too.

We crashed it straight into the old Chicken Treat.

I didn't steal that car.

It wasn't yours.

Dad always found a way to stick it to this town.

Is that what you think he did?

Mm.

Charlie, your dad was a...

...he was a selfish...

...self-destructive dickhead

who ended up a bitter drunk

with his car wrapped around a power line.

You wanna follow in his footsteps...

You don't know what the fuck you're talking about.

I knew your dad better than anyone.

He always thought he was better than this town.

Arrogant prick.

And the truth is...

...no-one's better than this place.

Then why are YOU leaving?

(SLAPS OWN THIGH)

Mm.

Because...

...I'm no longer happy here.

I need to find somewhere new or I need to...

...somewhere I can just keep learning and keep growing.

(VOICE BREAKS) Take me with you.

Charlie, I've... I've tried to look after you

as best I could.

I owed him that.

But you've gotta look after yourself now, Charlie.

(BREATHES SHAKILY) I don't wanna be here anymore.

(QUIETLY) Alright, if you wanna leave, then you go.

You go!

You're old enough.

(SIGHS) You make it sound so easy.

Isn't it?

I can't. I'm not ready.

You're never gonna be ready, Charlie.

Stop waiting for that perfect moment,

for everything to be just as you imagined it in your head.

You just make it happen.

Yeah?

Oh!

(INSECTS CHIRP OUTSIDE)

(CHATTER INSIDE)

Zeke. What are you doing here?

You said you were having people over.

Yeah, but you were meant to... KARLA: Kade!

Who's at the door?

Oh.

Oh!

Hello.

Invite him in.

TV PRESENTER: Great to see a player

so well-rounded and as well-polished as him

getting an opportunity.

(CLEARS THROAT)

(DOOR SHUTS)

Eagles, who signed up Ian Orcher...

(WHISPERS) Come here, Jack!

JACK: G'day, g'day!

Still a lot of interesting names up for grabs

who might make the draft,

but there's not many places left now.

Hey, you're the Calogeros' youngest, right?

Yeah.

That was quite the show at the wedding.

Auditioning for Dancing With The Stars?

(ALL LAUGH)

Something like that.

Didn't know you guys were mates.

They're not.

Uh... He's... He's just here to help me with the exams tomorrow.

Right? Yeah.

TV PRESENTER: Until Year 12 studies are completed,

as, unfortunately,

it's not gonna work out for all the boys...

I didn't know this was a...

...such a big deal.

Oh, they were just filming in case, uh...

...I got in.

But...

...it's practically over now. Oi!

It's not over till the fat lady sings, mate.

Eh, Doris?

Uh...

We'll be right back. Eh?

TV PRESENTER: A nerve-wracking and anxious night

for the young men at home and right around Australia

sitting and waiting for their name to be...

Kade?

Don't be long. Hm?

They could read your name out at any moment.

It is worth remembering

that it can turn around very quickly for the boys,

and we're starting to see that now.

(DORIS CLEARS THROAT)

It's not the only time in tonight's draft

for these 18-year-olds.

I didn't mean to make things awkward.

It's fine.

What's up?

(CHUCKLES DRYLY)

What do you want?

Do you even like me?

Of course I do.

You know, when people like each other, they show it.

It really doesn't take much

to show someone a little kindness.

Or to let them know that you're thinking of them.

You can't just say the shit

that you said to me the other night

and then disappear.

Do you know what that fuckin' does to someone?

Hey, calm down.

Don't do that!

Don't treat me like I'm fuckin' overreacting.

I get that you're busy.

Everyone's fuckin' busy, OK?!

It doesn't give you the right

to switch it on and off whenever it suits you!

You're fuckin' hurting me, Hammer!

(EXHALES HEAVILY)

I didn't mean to.

I really like you.

That night... (CHUCKLES SOFTLY)

That night was one of the best nights of my life.

But THIS -

this wasn't part of the plan.

What if I get drafted, huh?

I thought you said... Yeah, I know.

I fucked it.

(SIGHS) But what if I DO get in?

It's not like I can take you to the Brownlows.

KARLA: Oh, my God. Oh, my God. Oh, my God!

He got in! (CHEERING)

The Eagles! Kade, get out here!

(WILD CHEERING) The Eagles! The Eagles!

(SCREAMS) Kade!

In the Eagles! (LAUGHS)

You did it! I'm proud of you, son.

(LAUGHS) Well done, son.

Come on, we'll settle down.

We've got to move over. Settle, settle.

Come on, we've gotta go to the couch. Go to the couch.

Oh! (LAUGHS)

PRESENTER: We're now going live to Geraldton

where Kade 'Hammer' Hammersmith

has been drafted by West Coast

with pick 55.

First things first.

Can I call you 'Hammer'?

You can call me whatever the hell you like!

How are you feeling? Was there ever any doubt for you?

Well, maybe once or twice, but...

...my mum always made sure that I picked myself up

and kept my eyes on the ball.

I wouldn't be here if not for her.

Is that true, Mrs Hammersmith?

Oh, we're just so proud of our little man.

(LAUGHS)

I'm pretty sure all of Australia

will now be calling you 'Hammer' from this day onwards.

Yes! (LAUGHS)

You did it, baby! You bloody ripper.

He said I had to...

...return something to ya.

I'm assuming this is yours.

(SOFTLY) Thank you.

He never spoke about ya.

No. He... He wouldn't have.

He kept a lot to himself.

MATT: "Charlie,

"there's a lot I need to say to you..."

"But I'm gonna start with the bees.

"They get born,

"then right away they're working,

"getting pollen, bringing it back to the hive..."

"That's what they were born to do -

"work for the hive..."

(PUFFS SOFTLY)

You weren't at the exam today.

And I was so close to class valedictorian.

How did you do?

I fucked it.

Nuh.

Ooh, yeah.

Totally crashed and burned.

No uni's gonna want me now. Don't say that.

There's no point lying about it.

Fuck, you are so hard on yourself, you know that?

I don't think anyone in this town

could be worse to you than you are.

Look on the bright side -

at least we can get married.

(CHUCKLES)

(CHUCKLES) Lucky us!

Yep!

All our problems are solved.

So, I'm getting out of here.

What? When?

Today.

I don't wanna be here, and I'm done complaining about it.

Where are you gonna go?

Where are you gonna stay? How are you gonna live?

Perth.

I guess.

I'll... find out.

Won't be making any more excuses, though,

that's for sure.

You could come with me.

I can't.

This is still my home.

I'm not like you.

Yeah.

You think too much.

Thank you.

For what?

I felt less alone knowing that you were here.

Me too.

Mwah!

Don't let this place get to ya.

(DOOR OPENS)

(DOOR SHUTS)

Zeke, can you come and join us, please?

I think we need to have a talk, yeah?

So...

...I'm sure that you realise you've hurt us very deeply.

And, to be honest, I'm not sure how we come back from this.

After everything I've done for you...

I mean, I just do not think you get

how lucky you are.

I mean, we've given you everything you've ever wanted...

(VOICE FADES)

(VOICE DRONES IN ECHOES)

Well?

Do you have anything to say for yourself?

I'm sorry?

OK.

Where are you going?! You come back here right now!

(VIBRANT MUSIC PLAYS)

And remember - as soon as you get to Perth,

make sure... Yeah, yeah. I'll call you.

Don't worry. Oh, I'm not worried about that.

Just send me enough money to get a new TV. Jesus.

(EXHALES HEAVILY)

Hey...

...look on the bright side -

without me around,

you can play the Nutbush all you want.

I hate you, Chupa Chup.

Yeah, Becs,

I hate you too.

(RAP AT DOOR)

(PANTS)

I'm coming with you.

You're what?

I can't stay here, man. It'll kill me.

I don't have any money.

I've got a couple hundred saved up from work.

That won't get us far.

I've got no plans.

Nothing's worked out. I'm not even sure where I'm gonna stay.

It's OK.

Alright, let's go!

Ooh!

Here. Take this.

You'll need it, the way he drives.

Oh.

Look.

Here. Take this.

Oh!

Wait, is this my... Yeah. Yeah.

I got your money back.

I threatened Fitzy with the cops if he didn't cough up.

Why didn't you tell me sooner?

I was waiting for the right moment.

Oh, Mum!

doesn't mean you have to act like one.
