Original subtitles

Anyone want these?

-What's wrong with them? -Pips.

(MOBILE PHONE BEEPS)

(GIGGLES)

I don't understand it.

They do seedless grapes, seedless watermelons.

I just don't get mandarins.

Why pack them if you don't like them?

I didn't.

Mummy.

Oh, are you sure you wanna move out of home, nancy boy?

"Never gonna happen.

"Where am I gonna get my fruit and vegies from?"

You guys should take that act out on the road.

MAN: (ON TWO-WAY RADIO) TR-2, please advise if you can respond

to an aggravated burglary in progress.

Residential address 25 Edwards Avenue, Port Melbourne.

-VKC, this is TR-2. We're on that. -(SIREN WAILS)

MAN: Moving east on Edwards Avenue...

-Police! Get down on the ground! -I'm on the job!

I'm in the job!

Repeat - east on Edwards Avenue. Did you sleep in this morning?

We came as soon as we got the call.

Asian appearance. Probably mid-20s. (GROANS)

Little bugger was faster than he looked.

-Who you with? -Drug squad.

Detective Jeremy Brimble. You didn't see anything on your way in here?

Nuh. You alright?

Yeah. He belted me while I was zipping his mate.

(MUFFLED GRUNTS)

-Shh. -Shh. Shh.

-(WHISPERS) It's alright. Easy. -All clear.

Josh, you wanna come round and have a look at this?

It's alright. It's OK. It's OK.

Shit.

Get that pig away! I don't want that pig near me!

It's alright. He's the D.

The guy's a nutbag. I don't want him near me!

He nailed me to a wall! He put holes in me!

With this? Josh.

Did you do this?

What?

Anything you do or say can be given in evidence in a court of law.

Do you understand your rights? I'll take that as a yes.

I'm gonna sue you over this. You wait.

Yeah, good luck, mate.

Waterfront property, Patterson Lakes. My own boat.

So, who is he?

He's a third wheel in a fairly serious drug distribution network.

Mull, pills, coke - anything you want.

We've been tracking him for about six months.

Not exactly the mother load.

He's not gonna be carrying it, is he?

Have you organised transport for him?

Oh, no.

The boys are out looking for the accomplice

but maybe you could put in a call to VKC.

Alright. Guys.

Put him in the car for the moment.

Come on.

Uniforms are on their way.

This is complete shit. You don't string someone up like that.

I don't care what they've done.

He was on his own. Maybe he didn't have any other options.

Look at him. He's a fascist.

I feel like I wanna report him.

Let it go.

Hey.

Yeah?

I really disagree with the way you detained that bloke.

Is that so, Constable?

It was an excessive use of force. Josh?

Yeah, look - all respect - you can't do that shit.

OK. Noted, Constables.

But one day you might find yourself in a similar position.

Two against one. Sometimes SOP just won't get you across the line.

You know what I'm saying.

Nah, you didn't need to nail him to the side of a house. I, um...

What?

I have to report you.

What's your number? Can I have your badge, please?

-Oh, you're serious. -Yeah.

Michael.

I don't have it on me. I'm off duty.

What were you doing here?

I just live about four doors down. That's why I'm here.

But OK, if you wanna come over and see my badge

then come around and we'll have a cup of tea and I'll show you.

OK.

Stella, you stay with him.

(CHUCKLES)

Can we please pack the car with some form of order? Thank you.

I don't think she cares how neat we are, Lawson.

"Dirty cops clean up city."

Listen, Kerry wants us to make a good impression, OK?

If you two can't handle that

then maybe you should go ride in the other car.

No way. I've been working on my quotes all night.

Great.

Hey, Leon!

-Morning. -Look at you!

-You look a million bucks! -Hello.

-Hey. Had a wash? -Keep on truckin', Kerry.

Hey, guys. This is Jacinta Burns, the journo.

Well, you all know each other, yeah?

Yeah. (CHUCKLES)

-Thanks for waiting. -Hey, it's our pleasure.

Look, she's pretty familiar with what we do here,

but do you wanna handle specifics?

Sure.

Great. OK. Well, have a good day. Watch your mouths, yeah?

See you. Bye.

OK, well, um...first things,

we've patched our comms through to the car radio

so you'll be able to hear what we hear.

Oh, that's good.

Should we go?

-Have you got your phone on you? -Yes.

-Do you have money for a cab? -Yeah.

Good, 'cause if we do encounter any danger,

we'll have to abandon you straightaway.

OK.

And you will have to remain inside the vehicle at all times

unless otherwise instructed.

Fine.

And you have to listen to my instructions at all times, OK?

Anything else?

It's just for your own safety.

So, what's your angle?

I'm sure something will present itself.

OK.

You want a bit of conflict, yeah?

We'll find someone to Taser. Like a skater.

I hate skaters. Maybe you could have a go.

(GIGGLES) Cool.

Lawson, Armed Rob have just called in.

They want you to check something for them.

OK, go ahead.

They've been tapping into this phone box in St Kilda.

It's totally unrelated, but a woman just made a call

saying she's gonna kill her husband.

Well, do we know if it's serious?

Apparently she said she was gonna do it today.

Have you got an ID?

No names mentioned, just that she's gonna do it "at the monstrosity".

Yeah, the phone call came from a box

on the corner of Fitzroy and Loch street.

Can you organise a visual for that area?

LEON: Yeah, yeah, I'm on to it.

Right. And find out who she's talking to.

Just waiting for the trace to come through.

(SQUEAKS)

Is everything OK, Leon?

Uh, I've got the CCTV footage of the kebab shop.

-Sending it through to you now. -Yeah, got it.

Uh, she's blonde, looks about 30.

Have we managed to ID who she was calling yet?

Hasn't come through yet.

I've been watching this group for a few months.

Thought maybe I could get things moving a bit,

maybe get them to turn informer for us.

Bit of a coincidence it all happened in the same street.

Right place, right time, mate.

Hey, um...if you're off duty, what's with the suit?

Just got off work.

Jeez, I'm the detective here. I don't ask as many questions as you.

I'm gonna look upstairs.

Josh.

He's certainly into his true crime.

So?

I mean, that's all he's into. There's nothing else.

What, should he balance it with some porn?

(LAUGHS MOCKINGLY)

You're buying into a whole world of shit, pointing the finger at a cop.

Yeah, well, it's the right thing to do.

He'll be lucky if he doesn't get booted altogether.

You weren't.

I never nailed anyone to a building frame.

Brindle!

Take a minute. I'm coming.

(FOOTSTEPS APPROACH)

You know, I must've left it at the drycleaner's

in my other jacket.

What are you doing?

What am I doing? What are you doing?

Can we just get this over...

Come to my house, you sabotage my bust.

Calm down and get your ID!

This is my gig. Why don't you show me your ID, champ?

-Jesus Christ. -(DIALS PHONE)

Yep, Soph, hi. It's Jeremy.

Look, can you run an ID check for me?

Yeah, it's Joshua, Sergeant B. Joshua.

Says he's with Tactical Response.

Hey, mate, listen. We've got our IDs.

Why don't you stop the bullshit and head downtown?

No, that's OK, Soph. Look, it's alright. I can wait.

Guys, I can't have ESD go through me right now.

Just, you know, give me a little bit of brotherly love.

I will buy the guy... I'll buy him a new shirt.

No, sorry.

Leon, what have you got on Detective Jeremy Brindle from the Drug Squad?

How do you spell that?

B-R-I-N...

Stell, Brindle's done a runner. He's headed your way!

-Stop! Don't move! -Jeremy!

No! No!

-NO! -Stay down!

No! No!

What are you doing?!

(WAILS) No!

No, no!

-Settle down! -No!

Hey, settle down!

I'm a police officer!

I'm a police officer!

Uh, Josh, I've tried a few spellings - nothing.

-Nothing in Drugs? -Nothing anywhere.

There is no Jeremy Brindle in the police.

This is assault! (GROANS)

This is assault!

You're right, mate.

Just take it easy.

(GROANS)

-LEON: Lawson? -LAWSON: Yep.

The call went to a phone registered to David Lord.

He's a plastic surgeon.

Get this - he's got six separate mobile phone accounts.

Right. You got an address?

Uh, lives in Middle Park but he's on the move as we speak.

Yeah, they can do that through the GPS in his phone.

Track anyone?

Uh, yes, but that's not for general consumption.

Cars registered in his name

are a white Mercedes sports and a black Jaguar.

-He's heading east on Kerford Road. -Yeah, copy that.

-What are you looking at? -What? Oh, nothing.

Just, um...checking the camera.

-Working OK? -There's a bit of fog on the lens.

But yeah, it's fine now.

What?

Just not used to seeing you dressed like a...

Like a what?

Like a man.

Hi. Is that Lisa Whitehead?

Formerly Lisa VanHandle?

It's Leon.

Leon Broznic.

(LAUGHS) Hi!

LAWSON: Right, there he is.

(SIREN WAILS)

-What do you think you're doing? -I'd like to observe.

No, you stay in the car, alright?

Did I do something wrong?

-Step out of the car, please. -Is there a problem?

Just step out of the car, please.

Step this way for me.

You received a phone call from a woman a short time ago.

Um...no.

We need to know where that woman is.

But I don't know what you're talking about.

Dom.

Oh, that's Mrs Lowndes, Holly Lowndes.

That's Brett's geography teacher.

Brett, Brett, come here.

Oi!

-(SHANNON STARTS ENGINE) -(TYRES SCREECH)

(SIREN WAILS)

Shannon, keep going straight. Cut him off at the main road!

(HORNS HONK)

STELLA: So how are you feeling, then?

Look, what happened was unfortunate. He's obviously not right.

Oh, you think?

Well, if you want to take it further...

-I'm chucking this, OK? -OK.

-Told you something was up. -No, you didn't.

You didn't know he was a nutjob.

I'll call the psychs, let them know we're coming.

-What for? -He has to be assessed.

We're not his bloody therapists, Michael.

I know, but someone needs to liaise with them.

No, we drop him off at the hospital and leave it with the uniforms.

Let's go.

-So these zip ties have to stay on? -Yep.

-It's standard procedure. -Quiet.

He wants you to bite back, you know.

He's waiting for you to stick up for yourself.

Oh, sorry. Am I the only one who can see that?

JOSH: Shut up.

Gee, it doesn't take much, does it, Sarge?

By the way, I would've used OC spray back there.

What?

Well, have you ever tried to Taser a moving target?

If those barbs don't stick, then, uh, I'm all over you.

(LAUGHS)

Am I right? OC spray?

Foam's more concentrated.

Shoot some foam.

LAWSON: Leon, any updates?

Yeah, I had a look at Mrs Lowndes's email account.

She's been making a lot of promises.

-To who? -To the kid.

It's all very coochy-coo.

Get this - "We'll be together once we get him out of the way."

Who is the poor bastard?

She's married to Colin Lowndes. They live in Ashburton.

No answer on the home phone or on the mobile.

-Well, can we track the mobile? -No, it's switched off. So's hers.

Alright, let's find out where he works, places they frequent,

where they holiday.

Anywhere that might look good to knock off hubby.

-Poor kid. -Needs a good smack.

-He'd probably like that. -Hmm!

-Well, he's into authority figures. -Yeah, aren't we all?

I didn't... I didn't mean that, actually.

What do you mean?

He's obsessed. She's taking advantage.

So...

So if he were to take charge, then perhaps he'd behave better.

Well, let's see. (DIALS MOBILE PHONE)

(MOBILE PHONE RINGS)

Hello?

Brett? Brett, my name's Lawson Blake.

-You the cop? -Yeah. Yeah, I am.

Look, Brett, we need to find out where your teacher is going.

I don't know.

Can you tell me what "the monstrosity" is?

Holly knows what she's doing.

Well, Holly got the police involved, didn't she?

And you didn't want that.

(SIGHS) No.

Brett, it's time for you now

to step up, take charge and fix things, OK?

Because you're the only one who can change things.

LEON: Lawson?

The hubby's a property developer.

He's just launched stage three of a development in Fitzroy.

Brett? Is this 'monstrosity' in Fitzroy?

I don't know.

Look, I know you don't want Holly to go to jail

but it's kind of up to you.

Yes.

Yeah, it is.

Guys, 000 received a call for an ambulance to that address

a little while ago.

OK, we're on it.

MICHAEL: Hey, Jeremy, the psych officer will take it from here, OK?

(MESSAGE ALERT BEEPS)

You're popular today.

-Oh, what, you're not gonna read it? -Nup.

Is it a girl? What, are you getting some?

(LAUGHS)

(HONKS HORN)

Got any more injured animals you want to save

before we get back to work?

You're too uptight to be getting any, anyway.

Shut up!

LAWSON: Right, so that's the monstrosity.

-Just give us five minutes? -Yeah, yeah, go.

Dom, go round the back.

OK, sir, we need to let the officers do their job, sir.

-Just get you to stand back. -(SOBS) Holly!

-Holly! -Just stop here for me, sir.

Thank you.

Mr Lowndes, detectives are on their way to take your full statement.

So can you tell me what you were doing up there?

For some stupid reason Holly wanted to see the city view.

So you took her up there with no safety gear?

I know.

We came out onto the balcony.

There's no glass rail.

She just...she spun around and she fell.

OK, OK.

If I could ask if you could wait here for a moment?

-Yeah. -OK, Colin? I'll be right back.

-Yeah. -Thank you.

Colin, I have to inform you

of a phone call that was intercepted earlier.

Yep?

It was made by your wife. It's what brought us here today.

-I called the ambulance. -I'm aware of that.

We were trying to find your whereabouts, though.

Um...sorry?

We believe that your wife was planning to harm you in some way.

What? No, she just...

Just...just bear with me.

I've got a recording of the call that I'd like you to hear.

What phone call?

Just bear in mind

that she's more than likely very confused at this point.

HOLLY: (ON RECORDING) I can't believe it.

-I'm really doing it. -BRETT: Really?

At the monstrosity. It'll be like he fell, like an accident.

-Accident? -And then we can be together.

-You promise? -Sweetheart, I love you so much.

I mean, I'll have to talk to the police

but then, after that, it'll just be you and me.

Who's...

Now, are you sure that's your wife's voice?

Yeah.

Who's she speaking to?

Well, we believe it to be one of her students, Colin.

STELLA: Did they say what was wrong?

Yeah, some sort of delusional disorder.

The CAT team know him well.

He actually went through the academy. Failed the psych tests.

You'd hope so.

They reckon that's what led to the delusions about him being a cop.

They'll have him assessed, send him home, get him back on his meds.

Are you serious? The guy's violent.

Well, what do you want to do, Josh? Punch him?

What?

(LAUGHS) Retract that.

But locking him up's not going to help him.

Well, it'll help that builder he strung up.

(CHUCKLES)

Yeah, yeah, I was just...

I just thought of you out of the blue

and I was wondering how you are.

Kids?

Great. (LAUGHS) Oh, wow.

Uh-huh?

Sure, well, um...

I was...

..wondering why you broke up with me.

Hello?

Shit.

So did the kid show up yet?

No, his dad hasn't heard from him.

I'll get Leon to put out a general description.

Alright, see if he knows anyone in the area.

He may be just camped out at a mate's.

We'll do another sweep.

Rightio. You got anything else to report?

No.

No, it's just another day.

Alright, let's just keep our eyes peeled for Brett.

That kid would have been a hero at my school.

(SCOFFS)

What? You never had a crush on a teacher?

Well, he might have a crush. She's got a problem.

Some people just can't function without having the upper hand.

Can we just look for the kid?

(GIRLS LAUGH)

Can you talk?

Um, no.

Pretty sure that last text was in breach of the Telecommunications Act.

I may have to punish you.

And what would that involve?

(TYPES)

Well... (CLEARS THROAT)

That? OK.

Mum's doing roast pork. (LAUGHS)

LEON: (ON RADIO) Hey, guys, I think your fruitloop's at it again.

000 just got called

about another disturbance in Edwards Avenue, number 33.

Jeremy Brindle's house.

Copy that.

-(GASPS) -(TYRES SQUEAL)

It's Jeremy's psych officer.

MAN: (GROANS) Oh, he sprayed me!

-Christ, it stings. -Alright.

-Is he inside? -He bolted as soon as I went down.

Where the hell did he get OC spray from?

Probably ordered it online.

Well, he didn't use spray.

Foam.

"It's more concentrated."

Oh...

-OK, open up for me. -(GROANS)

MICHAEL: Josh!

Neighbour saw the whole thing happen, he said,

and Jeremy went into a house up the street.

So?

What's your problem?

Why do you give a shit about this guy all of a sudden?

You don't think we've got a duty of care?

Oh, 'cause he sided with you, is that it?

Well, he's armed, so that makes him our responsibility.

And there's no harm knocking on a few doors.

Alright. Bet he's having tea with his imaginary mates.

Do you think I would have come in here without backup? (CRIES)

This place will be swarming with police any second.

Who's going to back you up?

You've got no friends 'cause you're a stupid retarded little man.

And you're not a bloody cop, mate! You understand?

(KNOCK AT DOOR)

Liz, go get the door, mate. It's not going to bloody answer itself.

Hey. Hi.

-Hi. -Hey, sorry to bother you.

We're actually looking for a missing person.

We think he may have entered your backyard.

Yeah, he's here.

Lochie, police.

You know, this isn't the first time he's done this.

You guys need to lock him up.

OK.

Loch?

Yeah...

-You hit him? -He was trespassing.

You think that's going to stand up in court, mate?

I got you on possession, I got you on cultivation and now...

Alright, alright!

Hey, hey, hey. Jeremy, calm down.

-No, no, no. -Jeremy!

(BREATHES DEEPLY)

Can I have a word, Detective?

You need to watch yourself, mate.

-(BREATHES DEEPLY) -You alright?

I've got a warrant.

There's no evidence in there to suggest...

No evidence? There's a hydroponic farm in there.

Go back and look.

We can't. Not without sufficient evidence.

Please just go back and look.

That wasn't just a punch in the face. They really worked him over.

Well, he can file a complaint just like everyone else.

-I'm going back. -No, you're not.

I'm taking two minutes. If I find something...

-You hear what I just said? -Yeah.

Michael!

You might have to start throwing your weight around.

-Piss off. -(SCOFFS)

(CLOSES CAR DOOR)

Don't worry. I don't need to know.

Oh. You'll find out in time.

Thanks.

Why did you agree to this, having me, um, in the car?

(CAR DOOR CLOSES, ENGINE STARTS)

I made you a promise.

Well, considering how things panned out between us...

I made you a promise, so I kept it. You know, just...

OK. Right.

Alright. Look, I stuffed up.

-OK? -Did you?

Yeah. You deserved a better explanation than what I gave you.

-(LAUGHS BITTERLY) -You're a pain in the arse, alright?

-Gee, thanks, Lawson. -Well, yes.

-You get caught up in that story... -Oh, look...

..you put yourself at risk, I try and help you and...

I didn't ask for your help. I can take care of myself.

That's what I'm used to doing.

(SIGHS)

Look...

..the truth is I just didn't know where I stood.

Well, I can understand that.

-The truth is I didn't either. -So I'm sorry.

OK?

I'm sorry.

I made a mistake.

Yeah, you did.

But I...I know why.

You thought I didn't like you as much as you liked me.

Lawson! Lawson!

The kid's resurfaced. He's at the building site.

MICHAEL: You'd better take a look at this.

Probably the first time he's ever been taken seriously.

It's, what, two plants?

Josh, you saw what they did to him.

If he broke into my house, I would've smashed him as well.

Alright, fine, let's go.

JEREMY: My gear's back at base

so I'll have to squeeze into one of your vests.

-No, you have to wait here, mate. -You're not shutting me out of this!

We're the tactical component. You called us in, remember?

Mate, this is still your bust.

Yeah, well, in that case,

before you go in, you might want to have a look at this.

Jeremy's intel on the drug house -

plans, entrance points, exit routes.

Hey, I like the stick figures. Do you reckon that one's you?

Can't question his commitment.

Alright, let's get this done.

(KNOCKS)

Hello?

Would you mind stepping outside, please?

Why?

We have reason to believe there are controlled substances

on the premises.

(LAUGHS UNCOMFORTABLY)

We can stand around here waiting for a warrant

or you can step outside and we sort it out now.

STELLA: Stop! Police!

Hey! Settle down. Hands behind your back.

(WOMAN GRUNTS)

(STELLA GRUNTS)

-Down on the ground! -Get off me, man!

Down on the ground! Are you right? Are you right?

(STAMMERS)

-Alright, nice and quiet. -Alright, alright, alright.

-(ZIPS PLASTICUFFS) -(MAN GROANS)

-Just stay... Yep. -Yeah, I'm just staying here.

-No-one in or out, alright? Got it? -Yep.

-COLIN: Put it down! -BRETT: No!

Put it down! You've got it all wrong!

-Shut up! -Back off.

-Brett, put it down now! -No WAY!

Brett, that's not something you should be pointing at someone.

-I know what it is! -OK, good.

Then you know how dangerous it can be.

Hey, Leon, we need an ambulance down here.

This kid's got an acid washer.

-He pushed her! -I did NOT push her.

Brett, listen to me. Holly was not pushed.

-Do you understand? -He doesn't even love her.

-And she's in a coma! -I did not hurt my wife.

Brett, just listen to my voice. Look over here.

We were gonna be together. You couldn't stand it!

-You little... -Brett!

Arggh!

Put it down! Put it down!

Shannon!

It's OK, mate.

DOMINIC: Leon, we need an ambo here!

We've got a male sprayed in the face with acid.

-(COLIN SCREAMS) -It's alright. Stay with me.

You're not obliged to say or do anything unless you wish to do so,

but whatever you say or do will be recorded and used in evidence.

Do you understand that?

Always nice when different departments

can work together for a win.

I'm sorry. We got off on the wrong foot this morning.

That's alright. Job got done.

See what happens when you listen to my advice?

-(LAUGHS) -See you, Jeremy.

Thank you.

MAN: Let's go, mate.

Probably set his treatment back by about six months.

Yeah, probably.

What?

Nothing.

LAWSON: Dom, this place is huge. This kid could be anywhere.

(CLICK!)

(THUD!)

Stop! Police!

Brett, stop there!

Shannon, he's on the scaffolding, top level.

Alright, Brett...

Leave me alone!

-Jesus Christ. -Shit.

Hold on, Brett. Just...

-Just...just... -Don't come any closer.

Alright.

OK.

It's alright. Yeah?

-I just want to talk to you, OK? -I don't care anymore.

I know that's not true.

I think you're angry, OK?

And you've got every right to be angry, OK?

Please can you just go away now?

I'm not going anywhere, Brett. I'm not gonna leave you here.

(CRIES) I don't want to do this anymore.

Look, Brett, I know...

..I know it's really difficult for you to see right now,

but you have to believe me when I tell you

we can sort all of this out, OK?

We're here to help you, mate.

-They're all looking at me. -Hey, don't worry about them.

-Just look at me, OK? -Why are they all looking at me?

'Cause they're worried about you, mate.

Just like me. I'M worried about you.

I just wanted to be with her.

(SNIFFS) Just her and me.

Yeah, I know you did.

It's over.

-It's all finished. -Brett, Brett, listen. Listen to me.

Brett, I know what you're going through.

I do, I really do.

To want someone so much like that

and for it not to happen, it's hard.

Brett, it's really, really hard.

But you know what?

You can't just...just give up.

Hey?

You can't just give up.

(CRIES) I want to see Holly.

Yeah, OK.

I'll do everything in my power to make that happen for you.

You have to promise me!

(CRIES) Promise I can see Holly.

I promise.

I promise, mate.

Come on.

-Come here. -(BRETT SOBS)

It's alright, mate. I got you.

(MOBILE PHONE BEEPS)

MICHAEL: Who keeps texting you?

Just this chick who needs her mouth washed out with soap.

-'Night, losers. -Bye.

You know, that nutjob was right.

What?

It was about time you stood up to me.

-Yeah? -Only took you, what, two years?

(UNZIPS BAG) Yeah.

Karen, I'm not saying I did or didn't give it to you.

All I'm saying is that if I did,

maybe I didn't even know I had it in the first place!

Now, THAT'S a compromise.

Kar...

Leon, what are you doing? You're driving me insane!

Research.

You've been on that phone for hours!

Sorry.

-What's this? Another list? -It's nothing.

-Is this your ex-girlfriends? -Maybe.

-Are they? Leon? -Yes, they... Yes.

Diane Scotis.

"Reason they dumped me - annoying habits."

Yeah, well, occasionally I like to scratch my back with a fork.

Oh, right. Leon, you gave Karen Donaldson the clap?

No, that is unsubstantiated.

-You'll see there's a question... -Oh, Leon!

You'll see there's a question mark over that.

Actually, she came back at me with that six years later.

Are you using the database to get these girls' numbers?

Yeah, but only the ones that changed their names - the married ones.

Leon!

Look, what is going on with you today? What is this outfit?

Why are you illegally accessing personal information?

Nina proposed to me.

I laughed at her.

LEON: (CHUCKLES) Right to her face.

I...I...I just...

I didn't mean to, but I did. I just...I just laughed.

She was pushing the whole issue on parenthood. I...I resisted.

And then she broke up with me.

She made some fairly choice observations.

She can be pretty...

..perceptive when she wants to be.

Look...

..you use the database for your personal shit again,

you're in trouble.

OK, fair enough.

-You'll be sacked. -OK, I...I promise.

(LAUGHS FEEBLY)

I think you're really amazing at what you do.

Thanks.

Now, you know you can't use our real names.

Well, what about 'Doug'?

-Who for? -Who do you reckon?

You're not gonna call me 'Doug'.

Mmm, what would you prefer?

-Well, why 'Doug'? -I don't know.

Doug's a guy who wears brown slacks.

'Slacks'? (TITTERS)

-OK, pants. -(LAUGHS)

-Senior Sergeant Doug. -Fine. Call me Doug, alright?

-Mm-hm. -But I get to give you a name too.

-OK. -Good.

Alright.

-Well gone dry, has it? -Just give me one moment.

-Don't you hate that? -Well, I'm thinking.

I'm gonna change your name.

To 'Galumph'.

How about I buy you a drink while I think of one?
