and from what I can gather,

Exactly. That's why I can't leave now.

Got 'em talking trade,

and before they know it,
they'll be talking peace.

And that's more important

Somebody's blocking his every move,

Then that is the reason

waiting for him to come home to me.

A coolibah tree in Perth?

Really?

Fine, thanks.

No, not really.
I'm a lover, not a fighter.

Ta.

I've known greater crises, sir.

Joseph knows exactly what

Very chic.

Yeah, good for weddings.

Listen, who is that?

Let's say defensive.
