(SINGING IN FOREIGN LANGUAGE)

(KNOCK ON DOOR)

(SINGING IN FOREIGN LANGUAGE CONTINUES)

See if you'd listened to me...

(SIGHS)

Rushing it doesn't help.

I am not rushing it.

Aargh!

I'm only suggesting.

Mum.

Oh, yes, because you did Bio-Medical Science

at a tertiary level?

You missed a step. I didn't.

10.9g of urea added slowly, one scoop at a time

and with good stirring.

It's like cooking, isn't it?

Maybe we need another recipe.

WOMAN ON TV: To use the next dog system for a peaceful death,

first check the cylinder is full with nitrogen.

To do this, connect the regulator to the cylinder,

tightening it firmly with your fingers.

A spanner is not required.

See my earlier film, 'Doing It With Betty'

to learn how to make and use an exit bag.

I had a bag but not the nitrogen.

A bag from Tesco's or...?

The type you roast a turkey in. Seals better.

..and open the tap on the top of the cylinder.

Nembutal would've been easier.

SEPH: Mum?

What are you doing?

Cleaning.

Your boyfriend's here.

I don't have a boyfriend.

So casual sex? My mother, the town bike.

How many firsts have you got?

Uhm...

Hi. Hi.

Are you early? Yeah, a little bit.

This is Josh. Josh, this is my mother, Edie.

Oh, Josh.

Josh, yeah.

I made too much if you're hungry.

Oh. He cooks? Just vegetarian lasagne.

No, she can't stay. I would love to,

but I've a Committee meeting.

Seph, I'm just gonna drop Nanna home. Do you want to come with...

No more licking.

Come on, cats can't go to swim carnival.

Hey, you seen the 'No-No-No Cat'?

It goes: "No-no-no-no-no-no-no".

(HISSES)

No-no-no-no-no-no-no.

(HISSES)

This Chinese site charges $900 for their Nembutal.

And that's with no quality guarantee or personalised care.

We are not charging anything.

I don't know how many more times I can...

Your business sense. It's not a business.

Charitable Service.

But you have to charge something.

If people pay they're more invested and that minimises our risk.

And you said marketing was my department anyway.

No. Manufacturing was yours.

At this rate, I don't think I...

I definitely did not say any of that.

If we happen to come across someone, organically,

whose suffering is both intolerable and unrelievable...

How do you expect these organic conversations to go?

"Hello, how are you?"

"Oh, I'm not too bad, I'm in the mood to die today.

"If someone would only help me."

Mum, promise me.

So, your restraint is shocking but you may as well.

Oh, him.

You've no opinion?

You're gonna tell him what we're doing?

No. I don't think so. I don't need to.

'Cause you know I only want you to be happy.

Right.

And if a toy boy who happens to be the husband

of one of your dead patients makes you happy

then who am I... OK. Goodnight then.

Sad eyes.

Wants saving.

The Owl looked up to the stars above and sang to his sweet guitar...

"Oh lovely Pussy! Oh, Pussy my love, What a beautiful Pussy you are."

Yes?

Have you made it yet?

Nope, not even close.

Have you seen the news?

Turn on local.

You shouldn't be watching local. It's bad for your brain.

REPORTER: Michael and Jillian Regan have been charged today

with importing the border-controlled substance, Nembutal.

My husband has cancer of the spine and lives in constant pain.

He's never broken a law in his life.

The Regan's are members of advocacy group,

Dying with Dignity,

which supports voluntary assisted dying...

OK, awful, and?

..few months of his life is not only devastating...

Mum?

..it wastes the precious time we have left.

Mum?

SPEAKER: For the wishes of the community,

I've talked to a lot of people.

Doesn't come as a shock, does it? I'm known for my talking.

But I've heard stories in my travels

I'm not easily gonna forget.

At Dying With Dignity,

you guys have been at the coal face

for a long time fighting this fight.

We've got to do our bit now.

And there is something that you can do,

we need your letters,

not emails because they can be easily deleted.

But handwritten letters, personal stories, like Jillian's.

And Michael's.

Perhaps you'd like to include some photographs as well?

We need them to really feel like...

(YAWNS RUDELY)

Sorry Kevin but that is total crap.

We've all sent letters for years.

My husband doesn't have time to ask politely.

What we need is real action and real leadership.

Today.

Great, thank you. Lovely to meet you.

Lovely to meet you! Bye-bye.

Hello, I'm Edie.

I saw you on the news. I though it was very moving.

Thank you.

I've had some experience myself.

Exactly.

We all know someone who's suffered a terrible end.

How the Catholics are allowed to run a secular country.

It's awful. I'd like to help.

Good. Always after volunteers here.

You should sign up.

No, I mean I want to help you and your husband.

If we could have a cup of tea or a drink?

Somewhere alone?

It's busy now but...

Do sign up. And thank you for coming.

Should've used a post box.

If you don't want to get caught

you don't put your address on the package.

How do you mean?

Jillian likes the fight. Good for her.

How were you going to help them?

Fuck that snake.

Snake. Really?

Yeah, just moved at me.

I don't think you're meant to yell at them.

Where is he? Uh-ha!

I'm a counsellor,

I can do it.

I like snakes.

(WHISPERING 'HARRY POTTER' CHARMS)

Are you speaking parcel tongue?

Yeah, I am making friends.

Dude, it's not funny.

Got him. Fuck!

Oh, my hero!

Oh, so brave!

Yes. Bravo! Bravo!

Fuck you.

She doesn't have any friends as far as I know.

She's a 104 years old and no family.

Well, you said you weren't going to approach people.

Well, this was organic.

She struck up a conversation with me. So, what was I to suppose to do?

We haven't got anything to give her anyway.

Well, exactly. That's why you gotta get a rigger on.

Rita?

So, Rita, I'm just trying to get a whole picture,

so you had emphysema in 2005?

There about.

And that was after you had the throat cancer?

Must've been.

But, no dementia,

I do not have that.

No, I can see that. You're very alert.

So would Rita be a candidate in your assessment?

I don't know. I have to ask a few more questions.

And you...

..you've wanted for a while?

Oh no. Not for me.

The Nembutal she means?

I don't think so.

We should all have the right.

It's our choice.

Not politicians, not doctors. Excuse me, no offense meant.

None taken.

But you never know what the next day will bring, do you?

How about having some in the pantry, just...?

Mum.

..just in case.

And that's me in our apartment in our New York.

Wow.

That's my sister.

Do you miss her?

Yes, I do miss her.

She was my best friend.

And you can't really replace your best friend.

Can you?

No.

They think it's cervical cancer.

Some suspect cells.

So I will be going into hospital when this is...

Am I boring you Kathryn?

Is my cancer prognosis so uninteresting?

No, I am just wondering why you're telling me about it today?

Where's Chris?

I need Chris.

Chris!

Have you guys seen Chris?

No, not for a while.

I wanna cancel the mobile plan.

Yeah.

No actually, no.

She wasn't that satisfied with her coverage actually,

but it's not really that.

Nope.

Yeah, look, I've been authorised to...

Yep...

No, no...

Because she died!

Yeah, yeah, I'm sorry too man.

Yeah, it's a bit shit!

Look, I've been put on hold three times already.

Fuck!

You know back home I feel like everyone's just like Lego.

They all fit together. And I just never do.

But with this group I just...

But are you pan?

Like technically, don't you fit everywhere?

Oh my god, that is such a guy response.

Everything's just black and white.

Unbelievable.

I've gotta piss. OK. I won't look or listen.

Nature's pretty cool, hey?

Yeah.

Is that OK?

Yeah?

Your cock tastes amazing.

You don't have to say that.

(BREATHES HEAVILY)

Wait, wait, wait.

Shit, you OK?

Dude, wait, what's wrong?

What binder are you wearing?

Hold up, wait, sorry.

How tight is this on you?

I need to take it off. Can you let me take it off?

Please, let me help you. I'm fine!

Can you breathe properly? Fuck off!

I think you need to take it off.

(PHONE RINGS)

Hello.

(KNOCK ON DOOR)

Hi.

Oh, is this not Pamela's?

She's inside. Come on in.

Pammy! Yeah?

Visitor. Oh.

I didn't realise I'm interrupting. No, no, no.

We're about to merge lunch with dinner.

Everyone this is Edie. She's from the village.

Hi Edie!

Can I make a plate up?

No, I'm not... I can't stay.

Excuse me.

Enjoy.

(SOUTH AMERICAN MUSIC PLAYS IN THE BACKGROUND)

Hey. It's Oberon.

I just wanted to borrow your car.

You don't drive.

I know, it's another rescue mission and I just thought...

Is everyone OK?

Yeah, just minor drama in the scheme.

Apologies again for interrupting.

You didn't. Are you sure everything's alright?

Yep, perfectly, perfectly.

See you.

(DRAMATIC SOMBRE MUSIC)

(PHONE VIBRATES)

Hey Josh?

Hi. I am just wondering if you need anything brought by for dinner?

We don't have plans tonight.

Yeah, but I don't have a gig or anything.

Josh I don't know how to...

I'm not your wife.

I'm so sad for you

but I have just got too much going on.

I've been thinking about it and she is gone.

You know? And you probably need to sit with that

and try not to fill it.

Shit, sorry.

I'm sorry, I' gonna call you back, I'll talk to you later.

Yeah.

How's everyone?

Did he tell you I wrote to him?

He's good.

He's camping.

I always wanted to take him camping.

My dad taught me how to build a fire.

You're scared of spiders, snakes and Ross River fever.

I was disconnected from the land

I am working with my hands now.

Seph mentioned a boyfriend, is camping his thing?

I'm too old for boyfriends.

What's he like?

You're fucking him in our bed, our sheets?

I have new sheets.

Your friend who cooks ice? Beard? Muffins?

Roger?

Do you trust him?

Yeah. Why?

Call him over.

Why? I need advice.

Why? Are you a child?

Kate? I'm fine.

And you need to talk to a convicted drug dealer about...?

I was thinking I'm gonna take up ice as a hobby.

Shame about my teeth but I've heard it's amazing.

I don't think it's out of line to ask for more information when...

It is. Who is this new guy?

What's happening to my family?

You don't get to ask.

You don't get to lie and screw us over and leave me.

Us.

You're not upset that he called me?

No, I think it's great he reached out.

OK. Scale of one to ten now?

Five?

I think we can rule out appendicitis.

Or a collapsed lung.

So I am lying?

Why don't I fix us some supper?

Blood sandwich?

Go to be a bit thoughtful, think it through.

Oh my god, that's so good.

Is it good? It's really good.

How are you doing there Oberon?

Looks like you're enjoying yourself.

(PHONE VIBRATING)

(MUFFLED CONVERSATION)

Hello?

Uh, yes, I'll accept the charges.

Hey. Hey.

We got that recommendation for you. For the dog rather.

Oh, yeah, hang on.

Yeah, it's a good vet.

He's reliable, should do you a decent deal, friend of a friend.

That's great, thank you.

Name, Hoang Do, at Poor Paws.

P-O-O-R. And then the second paws is

like the feet.

Southport Central.

OK. Got it.

I don't understand what you need it for.

Ah, it's a bit of a weird one.

Mum and I are...

'Cause given the fact that I'm in here,

potentially...

Ah, don't do the favour then lecture, Chris.

Wait, wait, wait.

You were right what you said, I did fuck us

uhm...

But to be fair, you were fucked way before then.

Way before me.

That never stopped you being magic.

And so if you wanna move in with camping man...

I'm not doing that.

No, I mean, if that's what you wanna do,

then I am right behind you,

you've got my full support.

Woooo.

Hey.

Chris.

Baby.

Wooo.

Hey Chris.

Hey baby.

I lost 'em.

What?

The cheque from your parents.

And the ring.

Gone.

Out to sea.
