SARAH: (OVER PHONE) Are you in the bushes?

No, no, I'm just gardening.

Are you coming to Mum's 75th?

My dad died of what you have, Plum.

The only way to make the noise stop is to own it.

I don't understand why you're not coming with me.

(PHONE CHIMES)

OK, fine. Bye then.

Ains, no! Shit.

What did you spend that money on?

Where did it go?

I don't want to cheat again.

I love you, Char.

Can you tell me what's going on with Plum?

He could die or need to be in full-time care if he...

..if he doesn't follow Liz Lombardo's protocols.

What size nappies, beret poof?

ONLOOKERS: Ooh!

I'm going to go back to Argentina. Why?

To have the baby. (CRIES)

(MELLOW MUSIC PLAYS IN CAFE)

(CLOCK TICKS)

(FATHER CHUCKLES)

Going to get messy today anyway.

(CLOCK TICKS LOUDLY)

(MUSIC CONTINUES)

Yeah, didn't think I'd show up, did you?

I've got some money for you.

Don't worry. It's too late.

It's not too late, mate. It's never too late.

My bus goes at 6:05, Dad.

I won't make it.

You can make it.

What's wrong with you?

Do you want to play for Australia or not?

(SHOUTS) Never take a backward step.

(LOUD ROCK MUSIC PLAYS)

30 minutes, we're out of here.

(GRUNTS)

Day four.

Mmm. (CLEARS THROAT)

Turn the fan on.

I hope you're looking forward to this weekend as much as I am.

I'm doing this for Gavin. Oh.

And a little bit for me.

Saw a smile.

How good, eh?

It's going to be a good weekend.

Three of us back together.

Dream team. Oh.

Oh. Uh, Char, wait.

Um, I was thinking maybe you should drive.

Why?

Full disclosure, I haven't had a drink in three days.

I'm on day four. I feel a bit wide, a bit dizzy.

Might be dangerous, me driving.

Up to you, though. Up to you. Yes? No?

OK. OK.

Hey, Gav, why don't you jump in the front with Char?

I'll take the back. Easy.

There you go...darl. Thanks.

Yeah. No. Day four.

Alright, good times!

Everything and everyone is in its place.

Let's rock, old-school.

Who's got...who's got a playlist?

(ENGINE REVS)

Six hours to Forbes. Yoo!

(CAWING)

You should really be wearing shorts so it can breathe.

Dad said he doesn't want Nan to see it.

(SIGHS)

Sorry.

It's OK.

Looks a bit raw.

It does.

You should rub some moisturiser into it

to stop the skin getting flaky.

And it will also stop the itch. I've got some in my bag.

I'll give it to you when we get there.

(SQUAWKS, IMITATES BIRD CALL)

It's all good. Just having some feelings.

(SIGHS) Let's hit it!

(ENGINE REVS)

(SQUAWKS)

Pedal to the metal, Char!

DANA: Thank you so much for seeing me today, Doctor.

This will really help with my article on CTE.

DOCTOR: In stage two,

the tower deposits extend from the frontal lobe

to the temporal lobe, this bit here.

And that affects emotion and memory.

In your dad's case,

it had moved to stage four...

..which meant that it had completely overwhelmed the brain.

Now, he wouldn't have known who you were anymore.

But at least I have evidence that he had CTE, right?

Yeah.

I'm talking to players, and some of them are willing

to talk to me on record.

They have symptoms, but because they don't have

a definitive diagnosis, they're just ignoring what's happening to them.

I wanted to ask you if you would consider donating

your father's brain to the centre.

Yep.

I'm happy to do that.

It might encourage other players and their wives

to do the same thing. Yeah.

I want to do whatever it takes to get it out there.

Oh, well driven, Char.

Six hours.

35 minutes.

(GROANS) (SIGHS)

Guess I'm really in Australia now.

(CHUCKLES)

Hey, you can't let Nan see the tattoo, OK?

You've got to keep it covered. She won't understand it.

You already told me. Yeah, I know,

but I'm telling you again - keep it covered.

Char said you can't keep it covered all the time.

It needs to breathe.

Hello? Hey.

(LAUGHS) Yeah, well, just don't let it

breathe in front of my mother.

Oh, so good to see you. Yeah. It is!

Mum's gone to bed.

She's what? Oh, well, big day tomorrow.

Hey, I'm glad you came. Oh, thanks. Me, too.

But we drove all this way to see her today.

Oh, my God, look how tall you've got!

Oh, well, you know what she's like, mate. She's on her time.

Yeah, well, we told her what time we'd be here today.

Yeah, well... Mum, we're here.

Shh! Peter, don't do that.

Fuck that! Mum! Peter! (CHUCKLES)

Shush! Get inside.

Now, look, Doug and the kids are down by the river.

We set up the barbie down there.

Isn't there a fire ban?

Here you go, Plummo.

I've iced up a whole bunch.

Oh, I might just have something soft, thanks, Dougie.

There's only beer in there, mate. (VOICE ECHOES)

Hey, what are you doing?

Nan's cool in the bed. They're not going to care.

I told you to keep your trousers on.

Have you got ears? What are they?

Are they painted on?

GIRL: Uncle Plum.

Come in.

Alright, catch this.

Oh, he's gone! He's gone in. Yes! Gone in!

Oh, it's a beautiful day here at the MCG.

Spoken to Ainslee yet?

She's still in Perth.

Probably busy with all the training.

Alright. Who am I going to throw it to?

Who am I going to throw it to? Get ready.

He's always been so bloody good with the kids.

Yeah, as long as they're someone else's.

DOUG: Sausages are up.

Cheeky bugger.

What have you got, officer?

Um, well, this one was resisting arrest.

Ooh!

Rightio. (SIGHS)

(BIRDS CAW, CHIRP)

(BIRD CALLS ECHO)

(ALL CHAT INDISTINCTLY)

So, the last couple of years have been shocking with the drought.

But the one thing that grows... I heard you scored three tries.

Mm-hm. ..is lettuce.

Scored three. Hat-trick.

Yeah.

(BIRD CALLS ECHO)

(CONVERSATIONS OVERLAP, VOICES ECHO)

DOUG: Ready for a frosty, mate. Sausage sizzle, no beer?

It's un-Australian.

Lots of arugula.

Oh, no, I'm... Doug, maybe later, eh?

Mm-hm.

CHARMAYNE: Are you going to sit down?

Sorry.

Do you want to sit down?

Oh, I might go for a walk.

Oh, I'll come with you.

Nah. Hey, let's go check out our tree.

Oh, yeah, the tree.

(CHUCKLES)

Remember when Bill Franklin thought I'd written his initials

in the tree? Oh, yeah.

He thought he was in with my sister, the dickhead.

(LAUGHS) Yeah.

I'd written a shitload of initials in that tree, but never his.

Remember when I got stuck up the top and you ran back to get Dad to help,

and then he said, "Oh, if he can get up,

"he can get back down." (LAUGHS)

Yeah. Prick.

That tree's seen a lot.

I'm not drinking.

Right.

Since when? Fourth day. Yeah.

I've been mainly doing it for my health,

but also for Gav and Char.

I tell you what, it's been pretty weird.

I'm doing a lot of thinking.

I mean, a lot of thinking differently.

Like, on the way here, I was thinking about you and how hard you worked

to earn that money so that I could go to Canberra and play reps

where I was discovered.

And...you know, what a big deal that was,

how kind that was for you to do that.

And you were just a kid, too, you know?

And then that got me thinking about what it must have been like

growing up with me as a brother, like, the...the...um...

All the focus on footy and...

..all the attention I continue to get and...

..how annoying that must have been. (CHUCKLES)

You know, me wanting you to all watch me, and I just...

I don't know, I guess

I wanted to say sorry to you, Sarah,

um, for all that. Right.

Yeah.

Look, we need to talk about Mum.

Oh, yeah?

Um... (CLEARS THROAT)

I... You know, I want to move back to Dubbo.

Doug can be made sergeant if we do, and...

But, look, Mum really needs proper care.

And I found this place called Corner View.

It's...it's pretty good.

I think she'll be happy there. Right.

But we'll need to sell the house to pay for it.

You even hear? What?

We're not putting her in a home.

She's got her friends here. She's got the church.

That's a lot of support. Mate...

She needs full-time care.

I speak to her, too, Sarah.

You know, she's not that bad.

But you can't tell on the phone!

We're not selling the house!

Why? Because you're not ready?

You know, I have put in a lot of work, and...and...

I'm just ready to go home, alright?

I want my life back. Great.

Well, go back to Dubbo.

But that doesn't mean we have to sell our mother's house

and put her in a home because you want to go back to Dubbo.

Go back to Dubbo. Hey.

She's got no hair on her vagina.

You want to know why I know that?

Not really.

Not really. Because I have to wipe her arse.

Does she shave her vagina? No!

Idiot.

She's old. It falls out.

Oof!

Also, there's this new priest in town.

Mum's obsessed with him.

Larry - it's kind of icky.

Doug's got a theory, but, look, I think that's mostly why

she doesn't want to leave.

Well...

Who bloody cut that down?

Christ.

This is good.

This is great!

Got your own room to yourself.

I told you, you should have brought Ainslee.

Yeah.

Mate,

the stories of me in this tent.

Yeah, I've heard them.

I used to live out here.

Awesome.

Got no idea what it's like, living in a tent.

Yeah.

On your own, in your own backyard.

Weirdo.

Yeah.

I guess it was a bit weird.

I didn't really want to be in that house.

There was only ever two bedrooms.

Plus, look at all this.

Hey?

(MALLET BANGS)

It's really good being out here with you, son.

So glad you came.

Yeah, right.

(CHIRPING)

Don't you think it's weird there's no pictures of me

or Sarah in this house?

And all there is is Jesus, Jesus.

I mean, look at that. He's strung up, there.

The expression on his face is terrifying.

That used to give me nightmares, that.

The only good memories I've got of growing up here

is camping out in that backyard.

Every young person should have to go camping.

It makes you feel so earthed when you're literally are out there

in nature, in the earth.

Peter... No phones.

Peter? Yeah. (SIGHS)

Why have you stopped drinking?

Oh, I went and saw my doctor and she said,

"Maybe give it a break, for your health."

Have you seen the stars out there?

Did you go camping as a kid?

Can you go camping? Goodnight.

Where your...? Char?

Hey.

Sorry.

I don't want to talk about camping.

Well, let's talk about something else.

What do you want to talk about?

I'm tired.

(MUTTERS INDISTINCTLY)

(SIGHS)

(CHIRPING)

(BICYCLE BELL DINGS)

Mrs Dennison.

Always had a soda stream.

Dream.

Yeah, I remember. I remember.

Justine Cressida, first girl I ever kissed.

White mist.

I remember.

It's all fresh.

(GRUNTS)

Whee! (BICYCLE BELL DINGS)

Big black magpie swooped me.

Tried to make me die.

(BIRD CALL)

Big brown tree, could never climb thee.

(GRUNTS) (BICYCLE BELL DINGS)

Bill Franklin.

Drank our first ever beer in that ditch.

Warm as piss.

Ha! My brain is on fire!

Ha-ha-ha!

Pump your legs!

Peter!

It's 7am, Dad.

Do you want to play for Australia or not?

Yeah!

Get up there. I am.

Them pistons!

Faster, you lazy prick!

Harder! (GRUNTS)

Bastard!

Harder!

Come on, Peter.

That all you got?

Never take a backward step.

(YELLS)

MAN: Peter, watch out! Look out! Peter!

I'll buy her a new one.

Are you kidding me? I said I'd buy her a new one.

Oh, God, you are such an arsehole.

It's just a bike, Sarah. It's easy to replace.

What is wrong with you? That's special, that one.

That was Maya's first bike.

Is this because of Mum? Because I haven't agreed with the house?

No, you dickhead!

This is about you!

You never own your own shit, do you know that?

You don't even say sorry.

Just a, "Oh, we'll buy her a new one."

Like we're fucking nothing!

You two! Shush!

You're hurting my ears.

She started it. (SIGHS)

You're an idiot.

Fucking hell!

Hey. Hey!

Where's dad?

Um...he went out looking for prawns.

Do you want some toast?

(SIGHS)

Your mum messaged me,

asking how you were going.

Mm.

If you respond, she'll leave you alone.

I've noticed that about people.

They get more obsessed if you don't answer.

I think the moisturiser is working. Yeah?

It would be much easier if you didn't have to cover it up.

Right? (CHUCKLES)

See how sweaty Dad's been?

Yeah.

It's kind of gross.

Do you think there's something wrong with him?

Why don't you ask him?

And be direct.

He's got to start talking to someone.

NAN: (FROM INSIDE) Sarah?

I need to go to the toilet.

(DOOR CLICKS OPEN)

Look you got prawns.

From the prawn man.

Char, do I smell?

(SIGHS) You didn't even smell me.

Is it that bad?

(BREATHES DEEPLY) Hey, hey, hey, what's...

..what's going on here?

Hey, what's going on?

I'm pregnant.

You're pregnant? Yes.

And it's a secret for now, OK?

I'm telling you because...

..I'm being honest.

Because of our no-bullshit rule.

Remember that.

Char, wait.

Wait, wait, wait.

No, there's nothing more to say.

Nice, Plum.

I didn't get off at Redfern.

That's why.

It's all starting to make sense, Char.

It's good. DOUG: What's good? What's going on?

Nothing. Nothing.

So good having you guys here.

Oh. Thanks for having us.

My pleasure.

Plummo? Nah, I'm alright.

Is Larry here yet?

Oh, he's coming at 12:00.

Oh, I'd better call him, see if something's happened.

No, I just said he'll be here at 12:00.

Well, it's 12:00 now.

Something might have happened to him.

I thought we were having chicken.

Oh, Plum brought the prawns as a present, Mum.

Oh, but I said I wanted chicken.

Yeah, Doug's doing the chicken.

Oh.

And what's that?

Oh, these are some of Charmayne's extraordinary salads.

This one has quinoa!

CHARMAYNE: Quinoa! Quinoa!

(LAUGHS)

Well, I'm not eating it.

Hello?

Oh, Larry!

There you are. I thought something had happened to you.

What, am I late?

I just stopped off at the bakery to get the bread.

GAVIN: Jesus did the bread, too, hey?

What a lovely man you are.

Oh, coming from the loveliest woman in Forbes,

that is quite the compliment. (CHUCKLES)

Father. Hello, Doug.

Ah, you must be Peter 'The Plum' Lum.

Gwen talks about you all the time.

Oh, I've got prawn hands.

Mm.

We spend a lot of time together.

Mm.

Don't we?

Yes, we do.

SARAH: Jesus.

Yes.

Scotch?

(SIZZLING)

You sure you don't want a frosty, mate?

No.

You know when you get some information,

but you can't tell anyone?

Well, I'm a cop, so, yeah, most days.

Hey, how weird is Mum with Larry?

I mean, he's always right beside her.

Doug reckons he's after her money.

Yeah, I'm a cop.

Here we go.

What have you set the table outside for?

It's too hot!

This is what you wanted, Ma.

What?

You said you wanted it outside, alfresco.

We discussed it many times.

Well, not when it's this hot.

The sun will be shining right down on us.

Alright. We can move it all back inside, then.

I've got an enviro shade in the car.

Good. That's a good idea.

Does it cover all the tables? Mm-hm.

I'll go get it. I'll come with you, Father.

(SIGHS)

Nah, wrong way round.

Mum, just leave it. Other way. On the left.

Get that on the left and...

Where's mine? Mum, just leave him be.

How's that?

That is lovely. Thank you very much.

(QUIETLY) Not out.

Thanks, Nan.

How long have you been here, Larry?

Uh, coming up to two years.

You liking it? Looks like you're liking it.

Yeah, I like it.

I mean, that's largely due to Gwynn.

She really took me under her wing.

She's a little giddy around you.

Mm-hm.

What? You smell beer?

No.

Are you OK, Plum?

I gave it up, and ever since then,

I can smell it coming out of my pores.

And I don't know if it's cause of that

or these pills I'm taking.

I've got epilepsy. Fuck! That felt really hard to say.

And also, you know, because I'm pretty nauseous.

And my girlfriend just told me she was pregnant, which is weird,

because I guess that means she's nauseous, too.

But it's probably even weirder that she's fucking pregnant.

(CHUCKLES) Yeah.

Yeah.

Hey.

No, no. Not now.

Plum.

Hey. Which one are you?

Banjo.

Very good.

Banjo Paterson's actually my favourite poet.

You can see this guy, too?

Yeah. That's Miles.

Miles is going to Stevo's fancy-dress do at the pub.

I've got an idea, Plum.

You can come dressed as a washed-up ex-player

with off-field issues.

Peace be with you.

Well, I might just say a few words, if you don't mind.

Gwynn. Oh.

Dear Lord, bless this food and our host,

the great beneficiary of the Church of Jesus Christ in Forbes.

We give our praise and thanks to God.

Amen.

Amen.

Let's dig in.

(SLURPS)

No, thanks. Um...

Nobody's eating the food we brought.

My family all have really plain taste.

(CHUCKLES) Except for me.

No, thanks.

Mm.

LARRY: OK. Oh, Mum's up.

Up. Oh!

(LAUGHS) Oh, OK. OK.

Oh, well.

Oh, look at you.

Thank you.

Thank you, everyone.

Oh, Ethan and Maya, I see myself in you two.

And Sarah.

Always here.

Thank you.

It's OK.

(SIGHS)

I mean, we've had some good times, haven't we, Renee?

Hey?

It's Charmayne, Nan.

Charmayne. No, no, no.

I have some wine.

And you,

you've been a good son.

Mum.

(FLY BUZZES)

SARAH: Mum?

And Larry.

My Larry.

Oh, you make me feel like a young girl at a dance.

You know, you're always here.

And Plum?

The prawns, Mum.

I'm glad to be here at your birthday.

You remember when your dad gave you all that money so you could go off

and have a football career?

You were very lucky you had a father who cared so much.

He was good to you, wasn't he?

He was a good man.

He gave you all that money so you could play sport.

He...he was good to you, wasn't he?

He was a good man.

Well, that's...that's not... You...you and Sarah...

CHARMAYNE: Sh-sh. OK.

I would like to raise a toast to Gwynn.

I, for one, feel very, very lucky to know you.

To Gwynn. DOUG: To Gwynn.

To Mum. GAVIN: To Nan.

Happy birthday. OTHERS: Happy birthday!

SARAH: To mum.

To Larry. (CHUCKLES)

(CHIRPING)

(PHONE BUZZES)

GAVIN: (OVER PHONE) Hey.

So you're back from Bali?

Yeah. In Forbes at my Nan's birthday.

It's pretty intense.

Dad's got this big footy clinic.

About 150 kids are booked.

It's at Peter Lum Oval, you know?

Where are you?

I'm on my way back from training.

How is Perth?

Pretty good.

Did you get any other offers?

No.

Nothing from the Sharks?

No.

But I got an offer from the Storm.

Yeah, Melbourne.

Hey, um, are you, like, angry with me?

I think...

..I think maybe we should take a break for a bit.

Yeah. Uh...

Alright.

I got to...I got to go now anyway.

I've got to see my nan, so...

Yeah.

OK. (SNIFFS)

Yeah. Bye.

SARAH: Am I Elmo? OTHERS: Yay!

DOUG: OK. Am I a dude?

Am I a dude? OTHERS: No, no.

GWYNN: A chicken?

OTHERS: No! (LAUGHTER)

CHARMAYNE: Wait, wait, wait. Am I animated?

OTHERS: Yes. Yes! OK.

And I live in the sea.

OTHERS: Yes. Yes.

Am I Ariel? (CHEERING)

Good job. Who's Ariel?

Yeah... Really?

Disney movie? Plum's turn.

Oh, uh...

DOUG: Come on, Plummo. Am I alive?

In a way. In a way?

Am I successful?

Yes. Am I a hero?

OTHERS: No. No.

Am I? OTHERS: No.

No. SARAH: Mum, ask a question.

What's the question?

Well, ask if you're a hero.

Am I a hero?

OTHERS: No.

Am I famous for doing something good or bad?

You have to ask yes-or-no questions.

Yes or no, am I famous for doing...? Come on!

OK. Uh...

Was I good at what I did?

OTHERS: Yes. Yeah, yeah.

You were really good.

So, I was famous for what I did, but then after fame, I fizzled.

OTHERS: Yeah.

Um...am I rich?

OTHERS: No. But you act like you are.

(LAUGHTER)

Who is this bloody loser?

Oh, come on mate. Come on, mate. (LAUGHS) Oh! Harsh.

It's alright.

Well, here's to the baby.

What? GAVIN: What the hell?

What the fuck, Larry?

Baby?

Whose baby? (SIGHS)

(WHISPERS) Are you angry at me?

I'm not even talking to you right now.

I thought because he was a priest, it'd be secret, you know?

Were you in confession?

Come on, Char, give me a break.

I'm trying to get my shit together here.

I'm being good.

What are those tablets you've been taking?

They're to help me.

What? Stop drinking?

Come on, Char, give us a cuddle.

Come on. No, get off me!

Hey, I'm trying to be better. (SIGHS)

For us, for our little family.

Fine.

I'll go and see if Gavin wants to have a cuddle.

Gavin might cuddle me.

(SIGHS)

You wanking?

No. It's alright if you are.

I used to wank in here all the time.

Blew the bloody roof off once.

Oh.

Anyway.

Oh, jeez, Louise, the memories.

This place.

Isn't it nice? Just the sky and the stars and the smells

and the...?

Do you have cancer?

What? No!

You're not telling me stuff.

There's nothing to tell, mate.

Oh, Gavin, no, mate.

Oh! You smell, Dad!

Yeah. I'm sorry. Oh, bring another shirt?

Jesus! Coming out of me.

Where are you going? You stay here.

I'll go share the bunk with Char.

I thought we'd bond.

Hey, Gav.

Hey, Gav!

Hoo! Hoo! (TORCH CLICKS ON AND OFF)

Hoo-hoo!

I'm the scary Plum owl.

Hoo! Never sleeps.

Hoo! Scary Plum!

(HOOTS)

Very wise, though.

(KNOCK AT DOOR)

Hey. You awake?

Hey, yeah.

Can I sleep on the top one?

Dad's in the tent being a bird again?

Sure.

Are you OK?

Yeah.

You?

I don't know.

Me neither.

Are you really pregnant?

Yeah.

Does that mean you're getting back together?

I don't know.

Maybe.

I spoke to Ainslee.

How was it?

Yeah.

A bit shit.

Whatever.

Night, Charmayne.

Good night, Gav.

(GRUNTS)

(FLY BUZZES)

You little fucker.

(BUZZING CONTINUES)

Oh, fuck!

Oh!

Oh!

Oh, God. No chance.

Bloody hell!

Oh!

(GRUNTS)

Ah!

(BREATHES DEEPLY)

GWYNN: Sarah!

Sarah!

Oh! Fuck's sake!

(PHONE BUZZES)

CHRIS: (ON TV) Look, it's certainly not a good day

for the NRL when a player goes down like this.

But Peter Lum's relationship with alcohol, drugs and abuse

was eventually going to come out, Lizzie.

And we certainly can't ignore what we've learnt.

Gutless fucking parasite.

There's a couple of things I want to get off my chest, OK?

It was you and Sarah that raised that money for me to go

and play footy, OK? Not dad.

You came up short.

Was it $65.20? I remember.

OK, and you asked dad for it.

Dad said, "OK, meet me at the servo at 10am,"

on the day I was leaving, right?

When did he turn up? 5:50.

I nearly missed the bus, OK?

I had to run for the bus.

And the se...second thing -

he had a new family when he turned up.

He had a new family in the car, Mum.

You remember when we used to read books together?

You loved it when I read books to you.

That's what Dad did. OK?

That's what it was like. OK?

You can't rewrite the past. Dad?

Not now, son, OK?

Mum and I... Oh, look at that!

What a lovely picture.

Thanks.

Your father and I went to Thailand for our honeymoon.

No, you didn't, Mum, you had your honeymoon in Fiji.

We've got the photos.

It's a Balinese tattoo, Nan.

I got it while I was in Bali. Where's Sarah?

You've really got to have a look at this, Dad.

OK.

She wants to put me in one of those places for old people.

Yeah, and she said it was nice, Mum.

They just take your money.

Sarah wouldn't do that to you, Mum!

She wants to move back to Dubbo.

That's why she wants to put me in that place.

Yeah, she's got her own life there, that's why.

I thought you'd be on my side.

I am on your side. Dad?

Yes!

Now get out, both of you.

Go on.

What? Go on. Just get out.

Get out now!

MAN: (ON RECORDING) What size nappies, beret poof?

Oof!

Whoa!

Come on, Bubba. Here he goes!

Don't let Charmayne see this, OK?

She's already seen it.

Everyone's seen it.

You coming, Mum?

I said, are you coming, Mum?

Maybe I can just stay here with her.

No.

Come on.

I don't think we should leave her alone in the car.

It's not like anyone's even here.

I've got to go to the toilet, like, now.

I'll see you guys over there.

Shit, hardly anyone's shown up.

Should I mention it?

He can see how many people are here.

No, I mean, what's in the papers?

The reason why no-one's shown up.

Well, you'd have to be an ant living under a pretty large rock

not to have seen it.

Just give Peter the papers.

We need to hit the frog and toad.

What's he doing here?

Elder abuse, it's called.

Wanker! Right.

You lot, wait here.

I'll be back in a sec, yeah? Yeah.

You alright?

Yeah.

Good.

See why you gave up drinking.

Yeah, I know, it looks pretty bad, but that's not how it was.

Yeah, sure, sure.

Anyway, um, here's the info on Corner View.

You don't want Mum to go in a home, you can move here and be her carer.

It's a full-time job, and just FYI it's, um...pretty shit.

Yeah, you said.

Yeah.

No, I think you're right.

She needs to go.

Thanks.

(SIGHS)

Well, I'll see you later, little brother.

What, are you going now? Yep, yep.

Yeah, yeah. No. Good. All good.

Rightio.

Alright, guys, so passing.

We put our fingers on the ball, not our palms.

I can't emphasise this enough.

We lock into the outside leg.

This is the outside leg.

That's the energy that we're going to pass from.

That's the momentum, there, when we let rip.

So, fingers on the ball, locked in the outside pocket.

Now, with your feet not back on your heels -

you want to be on the balls of your feet,

kind of like you're skipping.

You guys skip with your rope?

Now, you might see if you watch footy,

which I, you know, recommend,

you'll see some of your favourite playmakers, their arms like this

after they pass.

That...

..is to get the spiral.

OK, so here I go, locked in, fingers - bang, like I did there,

to Talia. Have a go yourself.

That's it.

Can I help you? Is Chris here?

You're an arsehole.

It's OK. It's alright.

Alright, Dana. Nice to see you, too.

So, you'd rather destroy a legend, destroy a friend,

than have anything out there about CTE?

Plum belted a guy because he was pissed, Dana.

That's why, alright? It's got nothing to do with CTE.

It's a symptom. Their brains are destroyed and they need help.

All those kids out there, lining up to play and get

their heads knocked around?

They need to know the truth.

You know what? Don't come to my house

and start shouting at me.

People are killing themselves because of this.

And there is no support because you keep denying it.

You know what? You're crazy. Right? You really are.

Seriously? I mean, look at you, standing there.

Like, you're fucking psycho, Dana, alright?

Your father would be embarrassed.

Is that your wife?

I fucked your husband several times.

You might think he likes to eat at home,

but this guy gets a shitload of takeaway.

Thanks, Dana.

CHARMAYNE: I can't do it.

And I don't want to be your nurse.

What? I don't need a nurse.

GAVIN: Nurse?

What are you talking about?

Dad?

Are you going to say anything?

About what? The epilepsy.

Oh. (SCOFFS)

Oh.

What? What's going on?

Or the airport?

The article, the not drinking, the moods, the fight you had?

Even the truth about your pills?

Any of it?

(SCOFFS)

When were you going to tell me?

Not when he was around.

Who told you?

Who cares who told me?

It is me. What's wrong with you? Hey, hey.

No!

You are not my priority, you know?

This baby is.

Well, it's my baby, too.

Is it?

(SIGHS)

Did you fuck someone else?

When? Who?

Does that matter?

It matters if it was at the same time!

Charmayne?

Oh, I can't believe... You fucked someone else?

You fucked Mum in Melbourne.

I knew it.

Oh.

(CHUCKLES)

You want it this way for you

and that way for everyone else, right?

Fine, fine. Fine!

Char...

Do you want me to go get him?

Charmayne?

(ENGINE REVS)

Simpler times.

Simpler times.

Kick the ball after school.

Orange cordial in the pool.

Simpler times.

Mum's got dinner on the table.

Simpler times.

Stay at mine if you're able.

Simpler times.

Like rain on the trampoline.

My first kiss with Justine.

Simpler times. I left my mouthguard in the car.

Life's a joke that was pushed too far.

Simpler times.

I want you back, I can't relax.

Calippo after training.

Lemon-lime. Rewind to simpler times.

Simpler rhymes.

Simpler times.

I got us a slot.

Prime-time television hour. You can explain yourself.

Live with me.

Train with me. Sharks won't know what hit them come March.

What else do you want? Huh?

From Peter Lum. What else do you want?

I've been writing things down, and I can feel my brain likes it.

It's all in there. Tell it to win.

I don't think I want you to play footy.

I want my old dad back.

You can't leave. Why not?

'Cause I'm in love with you.
