(LAUGHS) What are you doing?

MAN: I can't seem to get you in focus.

Why, what's happening?

-MAN: Maybe I'm too close. -Don't worry about it, then.

Come on, move back a little.

I really wanna get this.

WOMAN: Just take it, then.

-It's still blurry. -So?

Do you want a clear picture or...

..do you wanna capture the moment?

SONG: # Well, it's no accident

# That you and I should meet this way alone

# And there's no common sense

# That fate should bring so sweet an arrow on... #

WOMAN : It's 5:30 in the morning

and I have to write about this guy I just met.

Even though I've only known him a few days,

I can't remember what life was like before him.

He's one of those people

who doesn't realise how amazing he is.

I don't know why, but some people make you wanna be

the best version of yourself.

I have a feeling this guy is gonna be big for me.

SONG : # Love is now

# Love is now. #

(MAN PANTS)

(MAN CALLS) Hey!

(MAN CALLS) Hey! Hey!

Wait!

Hey!

Hey, stop! Hey!

Hey, anyone...anyone seen Audrey?

Uh... I don't think so.

MAN: Nuh.

She didn't come home last night?

-Um... -No, don't think so.

You getting on?

-Uh... -Gotta move, mate. Come on!

Hey, when did you see her last?

At the party.

She didn't come back here? You didn't see her after?

No, I don't think so.

(STARTS ENGINE)

Sorry!

(SIGHS) Shit.

(FUNKY MUSIC)

SONG: # I can't understand

# Why you keep me hanging on... #

WOMAN ON PHONE: So how is it? You all moved in?

-Yeah, it's great. -I'm so proud of you, love.

-Where's the lease? -Over there. I'll get it.

Make sure you tell me when your pictures are in that magazine.

Uh, yeah, I will.

They have a really long editorial process,

so I think it might take a while.

You know, like, months.

OK, well, you let me know and I'll buy a copy for everyone.

-(LAUGHS) -Uh-huh.

-How's Virginia? -Um, she looks great.

I mean, she's great.

She's not still smoking, is she?

Uh...no.

Oh, good for her! (LAUGHS)

Did I tell you that she got arrested last...

-Uh, Evelyn, hello! -Oh, is that Virginia?

OK, Mum, that's enough, OK? I've really gotta go now.

Yeah, OK. Alright, yep. Yep, love you too. 'Bye.

-Sorry. -(CHUCKLES)

You don't have a job as a photographer yet, do you?

Mmm, no. Not yet.

This is a legal document. You know that, don't you?

Yeah.

I'll take care of it, don't worry.

-You just signed it. -Yeah.

(PHONE RINGING TONE)

Oh, hello, my name's Dean Lassam.

I'm just calling about the job you advertised in the paper.

Hi, I'm just calling about the job you advertised.

No, the photographer's assistant.

-(LINE DEAD TONE) -Hello?

(PHONE RINGING TONE)

Hi, this is Dean Lassam. Maybe I could come in for a meeting?

Oh, no, but I have a portfolio.

Yeah, my portfolio. Photos. For your magazine.

Uh, about three or four years.

-(LINE DEAD TONE) -Yeah, thanks.

WOMAN: I don't like that, which...

-Let's do that. -MAN: Yep.

Sure you don't wanna size up to medium?

-WOMAN: Nuh. -MAN: OK.

(WOMAN LAUGHS) Confident!

MAN: Well, I can get that ready for you by tomorrow.

Oh, you're a good man. Thank you.

-I'll see you in the morning. -OK, ciao.

(CHUCKLES) Her name's Audrey.

She's in that big Carriageworks show next week.

Excuse me, ma'am, do you mind if I just take a quick photo?

Excuse me, sir, do you mind if I...

Do you mind if I just take a quick...

-MAN: Take one of yourself, pal! -OK. Selfie, yeah.

Uh... Never mind.

-Oh, hey. You're home. -Hey.

-You bought groceries? -Just a couple of things.

Pour yourself a glass of wine.

Oh, a guy called for you today.

-Oh, yeah? -Yeah.

He wants you to go into his studio.

Oh, cool. Who was it?

It was one of the photographers that you called.

Yeah, I know, but I called, like, a thousand people.

(LAUGHS) I know.

It's kinda great one of them actually called you back, huh?

Yeah, it is. But who is it?

Oh, I can't remember.

-Well, did you write it down? -I wrote it down somewhere.

Where?

(CLEARS THROAT)

Virginia, come on!

No way.

Shut up! No way.

-Zbiggy? -Yes.

-Zbiggy Kaleski called? -Uh-huh.

He wants you to go in tomorrow afternoon.

-(LAUGHS) -No way!

Hello?

(MAN SPEAKS RUSSIAN)

Hello?

(MAN SPEAKS RUSSIAN)

Yes?

I'm Dean Lassam. We had a meeting today.

Wonderful. Anya! (SPEAKS RUSSIAN)

Mmm.

Hmm.

(SPEAKS RUSSIAN)

Heavy-handed in printing.

(BOTH SPEAK RUSSIAN)

You see?

You consider yourself a portrait photographer, yes?

Well, yeah, I guess. I know these are mostly landscapes.

And these are mostly shit.

(SPEAKS POLISH)

There is a word, uh...

(SPEAKS RUSSIAN)

French have a good word for it, uh...

'Frisson'. Frisson. You got it?

(SPEAKS FOREIGN LANGUAGE) It's not easy.

Um, thank you.

So you're saying that it was just sitting there?

Kinda, yeah.

-Just on a bench? -Correct.

VIRGINIA: And then suddenly it was in your hand.

I can never remember the name of the shop.

Um, Mrs Gladys Feng Shui... Feng Shua...

And you're planning to go to a VIP event

as Zbiggy Kaleski?

It's a bad idea.

(LAUGHS) I don't think you should go.

Not dressed like that.

Stand up.

Turn around.

All the way.

Wait here.

Oh, God.

(CLEARS THROAT)

Trust me, it's a lucky suit. (LAUGHS)

WOMAN: Hope you enjoy your evening.

MAN: Thank you.

-Ooh! -Ooh, sorry.

Oh.

Mr Kaleski?

Welcome! Right this way.

Here you go. We're delighted that you could make it tonight.

Enjoy the exhibition.

Oh, thanks.

-Hi! -Hello!

You have been standing here about 1 0 minutes,

so you either really love it or...

-Oh, sorry. Do you wanna... -No, no.

What do you think? Of the photo.

Yeah, I don't know.

What do you think?

I don't know.

Usually photos of flowers are beautiful, you know?

But this one makes it look...strong, I guess.

I mean, it's still fragile.

Look at the stem.

It looks to me like it could snap at any moment.

But it's a survivor.

It's just a picture of a flower.

Yes. Yes, it is, I guess.

Kaleski. I'm so sorry.

Yes, no, I do realise.

Um, what do you think about this one?

Uh, yeah. It's nice light.

I'm Audrey.

Hi.

Do you have a name?

Oh, um...yes.

I do, apparently.

I'm Zbiggy Kaleski.

Zbiggy?

Yeah.

Excuse me.

There seems to be some confusion with your name tag, Mr...

Uh, Lassam. Dean Lassam.

Did you have an invite to this function?

DEAN: Uh...

ZBIGGY: This is embarrassing.

He's already here, so he can stay, right?

No, I'm sorry - tonight we've been asked

to strictly keep it to the guest list only.

-Oh, he's a friend of mine. -I'm sorry.

No, it's OK. I'm really sorry.

(SPEAKS FOREIGN LANGUAGE) That's what I mean.

(PEOPLE GASP)

I'm sorry, um...

It's... Uh-uh, it's OK.

It's OK. Just go.

(MAN MUTTERS) Yeah, if you like that sort of thing.

It's all about... I don't know.

-Here you go. -Sorry. I didn't order that.

Are you sure, Zbiggy?

-Hey! -(CHUCKLES) Hey.

What are the odds?

Um, thanks for the, uh...

I don't know what that is.

It's called 'Into The Breach, Dear Friends'.

They have another one called 'The Bosom Caresser',

which I was very tempted to order you.

Well, thanks.

Least I could do.

What for?

For what you said back there about my photo.

That actually sounded quite sincere.

It was.

Tell me about yourself.

What do you do, mystery man?

Apart from impersonating

powerful members of the arts community? (LAUGHS)

Start by telling me about this camera.

(LAUGHS) OK.

Um...it was my dad's.

May I?

Go ahead.

(CLICK!)

I like it.

It's old school.

(CHUCKLES)

You look like somebody I used to know,

and you know how you always expect

people who look the same to kind of be the same?

Am I the same?

Well, I don't know yet.

(DEAN CHUCKLES)

My head was, like... (IMITATES EXPLOSION)

-(AUDREY LAUGHS) -"Drink some more!"

(BOTH SPEAK INAUDIBLY)

-(LAUGHS) No! -Twice!

-Oh, 'bye! -PEOPLE: 'Bye!

(SPEAKS FOREIGN LANGUAGE)

Stop it! (LAUGHS)

-I'd stay. -You like this bar?

-Oh, look out. -Oh, that's the look.

We are the last people here.

So...I better go.

I've got work in the morning.

-Yeah, me too. -(BOTH CHUCKLE)

-Are you hungry? -Starving.

(BOTH LAUGH)

DEAN: What are we doing here?

AUDREY: Trust me, this is gonna be good.

You are in for a treat.

Here they are!

One for you.

One for me.

And...

..one for me.

(BOTH LAUGH)

-AUDREY: Good, huh? -Mmm.

What kind of oranges are they?

They're mandarins.

(BOTH LAUGH)

Honey Murcotts, actually.

Thought a country boy would know subtropical varietals.

Nuh. How do you know your subtropical varietals?

The harvest trail.

It's a little-known fact I rode my bike from here to Queensland.

No way! What, like, all the way on a bike?

Almost, yeah. Not all at once, but...

I wound my way up the coast

working on farms, picking fruit.

Cool! Why'd you do that?

Needed a change of scenery.

And... I had a mission to climb Mount Warning.

Did you know it's the first place in Australia

to see the sunrise?

Really?

Yeah.

And as photographers, we're so obsessed with light, right?

Finding the best light, the most interesting light.

But I thought, "l wanna catch it

"before it touches anything else."

What was it like?

I never made it.

(LAUGHS) Why not?

We were having a harvest party.

A few drinks, setting off these cheapo fireworks.

Those bottle rockets

and those crazy little suckers on the fence.

And... I don't know.

The beers had gone to my head. A 1 2-hour day.

I needed to go home early.

I was riding my bike down a dirt road, and...

That's it. That's the last thing I remember.

Woke up in hospital with a broken leg.

I had to come home.

I always think I'd like to go back to finish it.

You should.

You should finish it some time.

Mmm. 'Cause I hate not finishing things.

It feels bad for you spiritually.

Like, you have to finish things.

Mmm.

What?

We could do it.

The harvest trail?

Yep.

(LAUGHS) Yeah, sure. Why not?

-You're serious, aren't ya? -Why wouldn't I be?

I hardly even know you.

What do you wanna know? Ask me anything.

Shit.

GUARD: Hey! Hey, get outta there!

(AUDREY SQUEALS AND LAUGHS)

-AUDREY: This is me. -Oh.

Can't believe it's morning already.

I know, right? What time do you reckon it is?

Uh...7:00? 7:05?

(CHUCKLES) You reckon?

I've really gotta go to work.

Do you wanna borrow my bike?

-Could I? That'd be awesome. -Yeah.

OK.

See ya.

SONG: # You're so menacing

# I've seen you around

# Slayin' as you go

# Down

# Cuttin' your own cheese

# Swingin' in the breeze

# Now I'm on my knees... #

DEAN : Ready?

No peeking.

And...

-You said you liked plants. -Yeah.

-(LAUGHS) -What? What?

Hey!

DEAN : What are you gonna do with that?

(AUDREY SQUEALS AND LAUGHS)

-Watch out! -(SHRIEKS)

Read me something.

Come on. Anything.

-(BEEP!) -Hi, this is Audrey.

Please leave a message and hope for the best.

Still hasn't answered?

Nuh.

It's been two days.

Think I should go over there?

What do you think?

Maybe it's because it's all moving too fast, you know?

Like, it's... Maybe she needs a break.

I don't know, I...

I think I love this girl.

And I kinda knew that the first night I met her.

And I know it's quick,

and I don't wanna be that weird, stalky guy, but...

Am I overthinking this?

I'm overthinking this, aren't I?

The simple fact is I love this girl.

-Audrey! -So what am I waiting for?

(AUDREY WHISPERS) I want you.

DEAN : You sure?

I can't believe you didn't like my plant.

Well, it's not a plant.

It's an ecosystem.

It didn't look that big in the shop.

What?

I can take it back.

We need to do this trip together.

What trip?

The harvest trail.

-(GROANS) -I want us to do it. Together.

Didn't you feel it?

Feel what?

When we met.

The world shifted, just a little bit.

But everything changed the tiniest little bit.

I don't feel that as much as I used to,

which scares me.

Do you remember the impact experiences had on you

when you were younger

and that gradual shift where every new experience

takes up a smaller percentage of your consciousness

the way that each minute is a smaller percentage of your life?

I think that's why time passes quicker the older you get

and things don't affect you as much.

It's like a standard of reference.

Yeah, that's so true.

So think about it, Dean.

(BOTH CHUCKLE)

-Now is the time. -Uh-huh.

You were right. I need to finish this trip.

And you...

You're gonna be a different person when you get back.

You're gonna be a much better photographer.

So you need to come with me, whether you realise it or not.

That was a good speech, kid.

-It was, wasn't it! -OK.

So, hypothetically speaking,

if we do this together...

Mmm?

-When would we leave? -Tomorrow.

(LAUGHS) Tomorrow! -Yeah!

-Tomorrow. -Why not?

Come on! Say yes.

Just say yes before the world wakes up

and then reason and logic take over your thoughts.

What, so we just pack up and we just go?

-We just go? -Yeah.

Yeah. OK, where do we go first?

-That way. -Oh, "That way"!

-Just "That way"? (LAUGHS) -Yeah.

Easy. Say yes.

(WHISPERS) Say yes.

Yes...

Say it.

Say it.

SONG: # You're so sweet I wanna die

# You're like a miracle girl

# I can't remember my own name

# What the hell is my name?

# It's just like the first time

# Just like the first time

# Just like the first time

# Yeah

# I'm in love

# I'm in love... #

(AUDREY WHISPERS) Come on, take it.

(DEAN WHISPERS) Just a sec.

(WHISPERS) Hurry up!

Wait a minute.

Let me just check the light level.

How light does it feel?

Just do that.

(GROANS)

(CLICK!)

(RETCHES)

I'll see if I can get us a lift, OK?

(CAR APPROACHES)

-Hey, let's go. -Yep.

Hey! Uh, can you take us to the next town?

(GRUNTS)

-MAN: How ya goin'? -Hi!

-You want a hand with that? -Yes, please.

AUDREY: Oh! I remember that smell.

MAN: Straight over there towards the lights, dear.

-DEAN: Thanks. -AUDREY: Ta.

MAN: There you go.

That's it. Just leave 'em there. That'd be good.

Yeah, this used to be our place

before we built the one up on the hill there.

Now it's the workers here. You know, the pickers.

AUDREY: Don't think he remembers me. (LAUGHS)

Not too many here at the moment,

but later in the year, there'll be 20 or more.

Come from all over the place, you know?

They all get on well, like...

James here, he'll get you set up and give you the run-down.

And I'll see you in the morning. We start at 6:00.

-AUDREY: Thank you. -Alright.

-JAMES: Hey. -Hiya.

Marcus, jump on the barbie. I've gotta give a tour.

-Looking good, Stocky. -(GRUNTS)

It's all pretty straightforward.

Uh, the living room is in here.

-Hey! -Hiya.

We've only got the one bathroom,

so there's a two-minute limit on the loo

and first in gets the hot water.

Now, there's not many rooms left,

but this one down the end of the hall is free,

so put your bags in there.

And if you need anything, I'm just across the hall.

AUDREY: Thank you.

JAMES: Make yourselves at home, huh?

Ooh!

(SIGHS)

(GRUNTS)

Could sleep for days.

GIRL: Whoops!

(ENGINE STARTS)

Shit.

(KNOCKAT WINDOW)

-Yes? -Are you coming?

Are we gonna go shoot the sunrise

or are you gonna sit there

writing about me in your journal?

What makes you think I'm writing about you?

Oh, you're totally writing about me.

I... Hey!

AUDREY: Who's got a big head all of a sudden?

C'mon. You can finish it out there.

Give me a sec.

-You do have a big head! -Watch out!

Oh, sorry. I didn't mean to disturb you.

No. No, that's fine. I think I slept in.

Yes. Uh, it's nearly 3:00.

Oh.

-Want some water? -Yeah.

Thanks.

Um, maybe you better come up to the house, eh?

Have a bite to eat.

You don't wanna go to work on an empty stomach.

-Have a seat. -Oh, thanks.

How long have you been here?

All my life.

My family's had this place for four generations.

-Wow. -Yeah.

-You got any kids? -Yep. Two boys.

Either of them planning on taking over?

No. No, they...

You know, they've grown up.

They go to school and...

..they sort out a life of their own.

When I was their age, I thought of heading off,

but times were different then.

What happened to all your pictures and things?

Oh, my wife left last June and she took them all with her.

Oh, sorry. I didn't mean to...

No, it's alright. We had 29 good years and one bad one.

So...I'm not complaining.

There you go.

Yeah, I've never been one for pictures, you know?

I think the important stuff sticks up here anyway.

I'm not saying the camera is not

a good way to capture what you feel.

But...that's another thing altogether.

AUDREY: I didn't even feel it. This bloody branch!

JAMES: Gotta be careful.

(MUSIC PUMPS OUTSIDE)

Hey! You're up.

-You feeling better? -Mm-hm.

I was worried about you.

When you're done, come outside.

(PEOPLE WHOOP AND CHEER)

(SONG PLAYS) # I've got no axe to grind

# Just limits here on the table

# Won't you hold my hand?

# I like it when you hold my hand

# It feels like the first time

# Just like the first time

# It feels like the first time

# Yeah

# I'm in love

# I'm in love

# I'm in love

# I'm in love... #

Aha!

You don't see that in the city.

This thing, you and me...

What is it?

Do we have to define it?

No. It's just...

..are you happy?

With me.

Because sometimes it just seems you're doing your own thing

and, you know, I'm welcome to come along, but...

If this is about James,

you don't have anything to worry about.

He's just a big flirt. He's not my type.

He's the kinda guy that's...

The kinda guy that's what?

Huh?

You didn't finish your sentence.

Oh.

Doesn't matter.

Where's your hand?

Here.

Oh. Sorry.

-Did I just touch your... -Yeah.

(BOTH LAUGH)

(TRACTOR RUMBLES)

AUDREY: How does he do that?

He's been going like that since morning.

I don't know. He reminds me of my dad, kind of.

Are you two close?

Yeah. We were.

He died.

Well, that sucks.

Yeah.

Tell me about him.

I don't know.

He never really talked about himself that much.

We spent a lot of time together, though,

so I guess we were close.

And he worked seven days a week, 365 days a year.

Right up until, like, three days before he found out.

None of us even knew that there was anything wrong.

We set this hospice up in the house.

There were monitors and tubes everywhere

those last few days.

He just didn't wanna die in a hospital.

Did he say anything?

Well, what did he say?

Dean, what did he say?

Hey.

You were right.

This book is amazing.

Listen to this.

"I've come to see our central nervous system

"as a kind of vintage switchboard,

"all thick phone wires and old-fashioned plugs.

"The circuitry isn't properly equipped.

"After a surplus of emotional information,

"the system overloads.

"The circuit breaks.

"The board runs dark.

"That's what shock is."

Some time, you need to tell me what he said to you.

AUDREY: You like them oranges?

-(DEAN LAUGHS) Whoa! -Here they are.

(AUDREY LAUGHS AND SHRIEKS)

Got sticky bark too.

Actually needs a bit of water. Can you grab that can?

-(JAMES GRUNTS) -(AUDREY LAUGHS)

DEAN: Yeah.

There you are! We're leaving.

It's getting worse.

What did you see this time?

If you need to go home and see a doctor

or talk to someone, that's OK.

-I'll come with you. -What about Mount Warning?

-We can't stop now. -lt doesn't matter.

Yes, it does. It does.

I'll be fine, honestly.

You know I haven't taken one photo since I got here?

-Really? -Yeah.

Neither have you.

(PEPPY BLUES MUSIC)

SONG: # In my wallet is a photo of you

# The day we split I ripped it in two

# Stuck it back together with glue

# Tear my posters down from the wall

# Don't wanna worship no dead heroes

# Everything I owned, I stole

# I got lost somewhere

# Between here and there

# I'm not sure

# What the town was called

# In my pocket is a bottle of blue

# I drink it when I'm feeling miserable... #

(SONG FADES)

Dean? 1 4-mil spanner. Ta.

Ta.

You always smoke in the morning?

I always smoke.

Dean, you grab the drip tray?

So, um, where you heading after we wrap up here?

You going home, or...

No, I'm gonna head north, I reckon.

-For a couple of months. -Dean!

Grab the drip tray.

-OK. Where is it? -By the work bench.

(MUTTERS) Fuck's sake. Jesus Christ.

AUDREY: Did he say why?

DEAN: No. I didn't ask. He seems OK.

Mmm, it's beautiful.

Mm-hm. There's a box full of them.

You been to Ben's house?

No, not this trip.

You know there's not, like, a single photo in his whole house?

Like, not one. Apparently his wife left him last year.

-She took the lot. -Oh, wow.

They seemed so...perfect.

Not in some overly happy way, but...

-Perfect, you know what I mean? -Mmm.

Hang on a second.

Oh, wow!

Since we're always taking photos,

maybe it's time to give one back.

Audrey took this two years ago.

It just seemed like you should be the one to have it.

Mmm.

(SIGHS)

Early start tomorrow.

Think I'll go to bed.

(CLEARS THROAT)

(CLICK!)

(ELECTRICITY BUZZES)

AUDREY: Thank you.

-So you're...you're going. -Yeah. I'm out.

I didn't realise it was gonna be so quick.

-It's time! -OK.

OK.

Hey, sorry about that. Yeah, someone just leaving.

Yeah, well, winter's been pretty good.

Can't complain, really.

No, that's right.

Oi. What's your problem?

What do you reckon?

I'm gonna call you back. Yeah.

You've gotta keep your hands to yourself.

It's time for you to go, Dean, OK?

AUDREY: Dean, come on.

JAMES: It's time to go.

(SUBTLE MUSIC)

Dean, wait.

Hey!

Please?

I'm sorry I upset you.

OK.

I don't like guys like that.

Like what?

They just swoop in and take whatever they want.

I've known a few of them, trust me.

I was dating someone when we met.

You sure this is the right way?

It feels like we've been riding for way longer than 20 k's.

Well, yeah, I think so, but every road kinda looks like...

Like what?

You just did it again!

What?

You keep stopping mid-sentence.

Sorry.

You didn't recognise anything we passed?

Hey!

Hey!

Hey, mate, sorry. I'm... I'm looking for the 1 7.

The 1 7's back up the road about 1 0 k's, mate.

Yeah, thanks.

(GRUNTS)

It's all in the adventure, right?

Yep, yep. The adventure.

The sun looks like it's gonna set over there.

So we must have taken a wrong turn back on the 1 7.

AUDREY: I need your help.

Are you sure you don't recognise that road? At all?

What about that mountain over there?

(LAUGHS) Dean, I was here two years ago.

-(DEAN SIGHS) -Oh, shit.

(GROANS) No matter how many times I do this,

I can't get it right!

You just put the thing in the thing.

WHAT thing?

You know, the bendy thing.

I'm sorry, "the bendy thing"? Do you wanna speak English?

(LAUGHS)

(DEAN GRUNTS)

(AUDREY LAUGHS AND SQUEALS)

DEAN: Read me something.

Come on.

-Anything. -OK.

A poem, and that'll be it.

OK.

"My heart is a river in flood.

"A viridescent valley borne in storm surge sent to sea

"To see an endless horizon

"where you swim in the deepest part of me."

I don't know. No, I don't... I don't think so.

Well, OK, if you want. It's up to you.

Right.

I'll see you if I see you.

'Bye.

-Ready? -Yeah.

So essentially, all citrus is the same.

It's important that you know how to pick the fruit,

because you can damage the tree.

We don't wanna do that.

So we've gotta be careful with it.

We want these to last more than one season, alright?

The way you do that is you get

your thumb and forefinger out up in there.

You give it a good hold and you twist it.

Alright, OK. Let's get going.

So you guys are gonna come with me in the ute.

We're going up to the orchard. You lot, you stay here.

Go over to the barn, make some lemonade.

Alright, let's go.

Great.

So, um, you just up here on your own, or...

Uh, no. I'm with someone.

Ah.

I'm Dean.

Becca.

Um, there's a couple of us

who are going up to the lighthouse after work,

and, um...if you wanted to come...

Oh!

Um, I think...

We're actually doing something in town tonight

at the pub in town.

Yeah, that's cool.

Well, if you decide not to go or whatever,

come hang.

Yeah.

Sure.

Why did you wanna come here?

I thought there'd be a lot more people.

Man and woman, my five o'clock. Daughter or mistress?

(AUDREY LAUGHS) Daughter!

You reckon?

-Shit. -What?

Dean, promise me you'll try not to get upset.

OK. What?

I don't...

(SIGHS) I don't know what I was thinking.

-What the hell is he doing here? -Dean, I'm sorry.

I just thought...

I was confused.

I'm gonna go and talk to him.

Just give me two minutes and I'll talk to him.

I'll tell him, alright?

Mum doesn't talk to Dad, Dad doesn't talk to Gabe,

Gabe, he doesn't really talk to anyone.

And Ally and I don't get along.

Yeah, why do you hate your sister?

She slept with my boyfriend.

It is monumentally hard to come back from that.

Did you love him?

No.

Can you be trusted?

Yeah, most of the time.

(PEOPLE LAUGH)

Oh, hey! You came.

Yeah.

AUDREY: Can I trust you?

Yeah.

Why?

I really need to trust someone right now.

Sorry. That was stupid, I shouldn't...

BECCA: It's OK.

What's her name?

Audrey.

How long have you been together?

About three or four months.

I'm not even sure we are together.

It's complicated.

I know what you mean.

(THUNDER BOOMS)

What are you doing here?

AUDREY: Dean...

I told him that I made a mistake.

Why would you even meet up with him in the first place?

-I'm sorry. -Don't.

Dean?

DEAN: "I've come to see our central nervous system

"as a kind of vintage switchboard.

"All thick phone wires and old-fashioned plugs.

"The circuitry isn 't properly equipped.

"After a surplus of emotional information,

"the system overloads.

"The circuit breaks.

"The board runs dark.

"That's what shock is. "

(PANTS)

(THUNDER CRACKS)

-Please forgive me. -Oh, stop saying words!

I need to tell you something.

And maybe this is really unfair of me to put this on you, but...

You are the only thing that centres me.

I just have to look at you and I know...

I just know that at least this is real.

At least what we have is real.

And then... No.

And then when I just let myself bathe in that,

Iet it wash over me for just a second,

you have this thing you do -

you have this thing where you just slip off.

And that's not fair. You can't just do that to people.

Well, you hold back too. We all do.

Yeah, maybe in your fucked-up family,

but where I come from, we tell each other everything.

-You haven't told me everything. -What haven't I told ya?

Oh, that.

Oh, yeah.

You wanna know what my father said to me on his deathbed?

Don't. Not now.

DEAN: No, he told me three words.

-Dean, please. -I'll tell ya.

"So...many...regrets."

(TEARFULLY) "So many regrets."

And from that moment on, right then,

I knew I had to do something and not talk about things.

I had to move to the city. I had to find my inspiration.

And I thought I found it in you.

I love you.

I don't believe you.

(CHUCKLES)

# Many times I've cried alone

# Always I'm surprised how well

# You cut my feelings to the bone

# Don't wanna leave you really

# I've invested too much time

# To give you up that easy

# To the doubts that complicate your mind

# We belong to the light

# We belong to the thunder

# We belong to the sound of the words

# We 've both fallen under

# Whatever we deny or embrace

# For worse or for better

# We belong

# We belong together... #

(PEOPLE GASP AND CHEER)

(PEOPLE CLAP)

-I think I'm gonna go. -No, come on. Please stay.

-How long? -An hour.

Please? Yeah? Thank you! Thank you.

MAN: You look like you need a drink, brother.

Yeah, man, birds of a feather look after each other.

-Thanks, brother. -Yeah, no worries.

DEAN: What is going on over here?

Oh, this chick turned up with all these ping-pong balls.

-It's some beer game. -Yeah.

SONG: # One, two, three, four

# Well, I'm on a mission

# Yes, I need your love... #

(BOTH CHEER)

-Hey! -Hi!

-Are you having fun? -Yeah.

-Let's go dance. Come on. -No, I don't dance.

-Come on! -No!

I don't dance!

# Come and hold me close now

# I wanna know

# That you won't

# You won't let go

# You won't let go

# Alright

# When I saw your eyes wide

# Looking straight at me

# I could hear your soul

# I knew that you were the only one for me

# No, I can't believe it

# That you're here with me... #

Stop! What are you doing? We can't...

Where did that come from?

You don't really have a girlfriend, do you?

Audrey.

# No, I can't believe it

# That you're here with me... ?

(MUSIC BECOMES DISTORTED)

(SPARSE PIANO MUSIC)

(MUTTERS) Shit.

Excuse me.

I think I've lost someone.

-COP: What was her name? -What?

The name of your friend.

Um, Audrey. Audrey Hay.

How long have you two been together?

Hmm?

How long have you been in a relationship for?

Um, I don't know.

We've been travelling around for, like, three months.

Maybe four.

Was there any reason for her to leave?

What are you doing? We can't...

She wouldn't just leave.

COP: OK.

Do you have any ID?

Um, yeah, yeah. This is, um...

This is her journal.

I think she pasted an old driver's licence in here.

No, no - I mean you.

Yeah.

You OK?

Yeah, yeah. I'm fine.

Alright, Dean. We'll help you find her.

Why don't you just take a seat

and we'll punch it into the computer.

Hey.

-Same kid? -Yeah.

Hey, um, where's the hospital from here?

-Mr Lassam, were you aware... -I think she's there.

-I'm gonna go to the hospital. -Dean?

-Hey, uh, excuse me. -Yes, can I help you?

Yes, I'm after a girl by the name of Audrey Hay.

Audrey Hay? I don't... Just let me check.

Thanks.

-(ALARM BEEPS) -Just wait there, would you?

(SIGHS) There you are.

You OK?

What happened to you?

You've got my journal.

Yeah.

Um, I found it under the bed.

Can I have it?

Where'd you go last night?

You disappeared.

Audrey!

You scared me.

Here. Read this.

Are you sure?

Can I help you?

Oh, sorry, yeah. I'm after Audrey.

I don't think I should.

It's time for you to read it.

Why now?

-WOMAN: You must be Dean. -Yeah.

I'm Ally.

Um...I've just been trying to call Audrey

for the last couple of days, but...

I don't know if I wanna know everything.

I can't.

You need to.

Do you remember the night we met?

Yeah, of course.

And then after that?

ALLY: I'm so sorry.

She was in a car accident.

We were just...

We were just going through some of her things.

There are lots of pictures of you.

Yeah.

But where is she?

I don't know how to say it.

I can't...even say it.

I'm sorry. I'm so sorry.

(ELECTRICITY BUZZES)

What are you...

I did find an Audrey Hay in the records,

but she...she was here two years ago.

Come with me. Come on.

-Now, are you OK? -Yeah, I'm fine.

You stay there. I'll get a doctor.

Why?

Why did you do that? I was in love with you.

It was an accident.

(BREATHES RAGGEDLY)

# I

# Dreamed of your heavenly charms

# Holding you close in my arms

# Being mine for light

# And I

# Waited for far too long

# To let you fall right through my arms

# Being mine for light

# When the moment

# Comes

# When the moment

# Comes

# When the moment

# Comes

# I'll be ready to go

# Just so you know that I'm going

# There's no-one else I could die for. ?

(GENTLE GUITAR MUSIC)

AUDREY: Tomorrow I leave for my big trip.

In the morning, I'll be heading up the coast,

working my way up to Mount Warning.

I can't believe I'm heading off alone,

but up until now,

I've always lived my life on someone else's terms,

and I need a new perspective.

During the day, we pick oranges,

and at night we sleep in the workers quarters.

I'm in the first room on the right.

It's got vomit-coloured walls and curtains that look like

they were made from my nan's dresses.

(CHUCKLES)

I wrote my name on the underside of the window sill.

I wonder if they'll paint over it

before I get the chance to come back.

(PEOPLE CHATTER AND LAUGH)

James has been flirting with me since I arrived,

but I'm not sure I wanna go there.

But I guess this trip is all about new experiences.

The couple who run the farm are so nice.

They treat all of us like we're part of their family.

I'd really like to come back and visit some day.

Audrey took this two years ago and...

It just seems like you should be the one to have it.

Harvest is over and today I'm off.

I'm gonna miss all the friends I've made.

But I might catch up with a few of them later. We'll see.

I'm still having a hard time working out what my thing is

photographically speaking.

I guess I need to keep taking creative risks.

I just need to stop worrying about...

You keep doing that.

What?

Stopping mid-sentence.

I caught up with James last night.

It was really weird to see him again

after spending so much time alone on the road.

And as soon as I saw him, I knew he wasn't my guy.

I feel so guilty for letting him think

I wanted something more.

I hate that we can so easily hurt people without meaning to.

This trip has been so good for me,

even though I didn't make it to Mount Warning.

I realise now how important it is to stop and live life

rather than just taking photos of something

you've never really experienced.

(ALARM CLOCK RINGS)

(SHUTS OFF ALARM)

(GENTLE MUSIC)

It's 5:30 in the morning

and I have to write about this guy I just met.

Even though I've only known him a few days,

I can't remember what life was like before him.

He's one of those people

who doesn't realise how amazing he is.

I don't know why, but some people make you wanna be

the best version of yourself.

I have a feeling this guy is gonna be big for me.

SONG : # I feel you in the light

# So warm

# Like the shade of gold

# At dawn

# I won't let you down

# I won't let you down... #

Dude, these are really good.

# I won't let you down... #

It's worth a try.

VIRGINIA: OK, you can turn it on.

It's great.

It's smaller than I thought it was gonna be.

AUDREY: It seems like such a simple thing,

but I recently had this epiphany

that in order to have value,

we have to find a way to become a part of someone else's story.

That's the only thing that matters -

people who make you understand more, feel more, be more.

SONG : # Though I have to let

# You go... #

AUDREY: 'Cause often what makes something amazing

is all the things you can't see,

the life that pulses beneath the surface.

SONG : # I can feel you with

# Me now

# Sweeter than the memory

# We shared

# I won't let you down

# Oh, no

# I won't let you down

# Oh, no

# I won't let... #

-Hey. -Hey.

Thanks for coming.

This was Audrey's.

She wrote about you, and...

.. I think you should have it.

AUDREY: Is it ever too soon

to say you're in love with someone?

Like, how long do you have to wait?

12 hours? 24? A week?

I'm just gonna say it. I love Dean.

Because I feel it now.

And that's what love is, isn't it?

It's right now, if you're ready for it.

'Cause every so often there is a perfect moment

when the world is like a poem.

You can see how everything is connected to everything else

and if you're lucky, if you're really lucky,

you might just be able to capture it.
