- I had a dream you were an old man

and all you ate were apples.

And I owned an apple orchard.

- It makes perfect sense to me.

(dramatic engaging music)

Sorry, Bruce and I have to go surfing.

- [Debbie] No.

- I promised him.

Bruce?

Bruce?

Brucey?

Shit.

Brucey?

(suspenseful music)

(water ripples)

I'm gonna surf.

- What?

Shouldn't we call the police or an ambulance or something?

- I'll call his brother.

- What, so we just leave him here?

- Where's he gonna go?

- This one's called the supple bird.

- Oh, yeah?

(Sue laughs)

- Are you laughing at a centuries-old tradition?

- I am laughing at an idiot.

- Only an idiot who brought you breakfast.

- What did you get me?

- Chocolate Moove, Violet Crumble.

- Well, take a seat young man,

because that's my favorite breakfast.

- [Woody] Good.

- Do you write stuff down that I like?

- No, that would be...

- A good idea.

- Then yes, I do.

- [Sue] Hey Gary.

- Hey.

- Woody, would you...

- Take a walk while you two sit and talk intensely.

Yes, I can.

- What's wrong?

- Bruce is dead.

- What?

- He OD'ed in the shack.

Woke up, he was dead.

(engaging dramatic music)

Do you ever think about leaving?

- What?

- What if we went north?

What if we just went to Byron Bay?

- I gotta go to the shack.

I gotta make sure, he's okay.

- I don't think I wanna come.

- There's nothing you can do anyway.

(suspenseful music)

- [Yvonne] Oh hey.

- Hey.

- What are they?

- They're scratches.

- A possum got loose in the surgery, it was...

- My kitten's eye is missing from the jigsaw.

Why would they sell it without an eye?

- I honestly have no idea, darling.

- Hey, you wanna go to the club tonight?

I miss you when I'm in the city.

- Well, I could always come to the city on a Friday night.

- That's a great idea.

Let's plan that.

While I eat the eggs you should have

been cooking me five minutes ago.

- Maybe a possum will get into the house this week.

(engaging music)

(water ripples and laps)

- Been looking for you.

(seagulls caw)

- I'm really sorry, Dad.

- It's okay.

We'll sort it out.

It's okay.

- I just feel like ripping my heart

out at the roots right now.

- Hey.

I'll throw Cheryl out.

- Dad, it's not about Cheryl.

I don't know, I'm just trying to figure out what I wanna do.

I just really wanted to see you.

I think I might go to Sue's.

- [Martin] Debbie?

- Hi, Dad.

- [Roger] Oh, hey

- There's a Japanese man in the car.

- Yes, there is.

(Sue screams happily)

- Lori!

Dad, you didn't say!

- Be quiet, it's a birthday surprise for Pammy.

- We're here for a week.

- Oh, shit!

Come meet Yuki.

- Sue said I was invited.

- It's very hard for me not to punch you

in the face whenever I see you.

- I get that a lot, actually.

- Hey, Boardie.

- [Boardie] Mum's gonna die.

(generic rock music plays)

So just spit it out.

- I keep expecting him to yawn.

- [Danny] Don't, don't, don't.

- My mum can't know he was a junkie.

- What if, he was surfing and he just got lost out there?

- She'd prefer a drowned son instead of a junkie son.

(guitar drones from the speaker)

- Do you know what mark I'd need in the HSC to do teaching?

- Teaching?

- Primary, high school would be a nightmare.

Kids like me, blah.

- Are you serious about this, Cheryl?

You wanna be a teacher?

- Bent, isn't it?

But, yeah, if I if I get the marks.

- 240, you'd wanna do your BA and then get your Dip. Ed.

It enlarges your options.

- 240, thanks.

- Hi, sweetheart, how was the sea?

- Cheryl, go clean your room.

- Yes, sir.

- Now!

I saw Debbie at the rocks.

Judy, you need to deal with this.

I will not lose my daughter.

We'll throw Cheryl out and you'll bring her back.

- Calm down, Martin.

We're not throwing Cheryl out.

She wants to be a teacher.

Isn't that great?

See what happens when you show faith in someone?

They feel that.

- Debbie?

- I'll talk to her.

We just need to have a heart-to-heart.

I'll take care of it.

- You better.

- [Roger] Ah, morning, birthday girl.

- Girl?

I'm 40 Rog, I am no girl anymore.

- You'll always be that girl who flashed her tits

at me down in the Oval in Year 10, my darling.

- Yeah, except now I do it, you'll have

to look at my knees to see 'em.

- Don't say that, it worries me.

Bikinis good?

- Well, I think they're great.

Money Cat Enterprises is go.

- [Roger] No, no, no.

You need to show more bum.

The kids want that.

- How do you know?

- Well, I go down to the beach...

- Yeah, to look at women's asses.

- No, it's more research, really.

No, seriously, just a bit less.

- Yeah, but darling, you've gotta contain the bush, Rog.

I mean, any less and everyone's gonna have

to be spic and span down there.

- Just a bit less.

- And when you're finished up will you come out to the pool?

I got a little surprise for you.

Hurry up.

(engaging music)

- I like Woody.

He's better than that Danny dickhead.

- Pammy, come out, will ya?

Pammy, hurry up, come outside!

- [Pam] I'm coming!

- Hurry up!

- See, I told you, Rog, look at this!

There is more bush than the Kokoda Track down here.

I'm poking out ev...

(Pam sighs in surprise)

- Mum!

- Lori, oh, my God.

- Sweet Jesus, Woody, Yuki, avert your gazes.

There are kids around, darling, cover yourself up.

- What are you doing here, darling?

- Surprise!

Let's have a bit of champagne.

- [Pam] Well, it's the best birthday present ever.

Come here, darling!

- I asked Gary about leaving.

- What?

- I think we should all go to Byron Bay together.

Gary could surf, we could swim.

- I can't believe you.

That's our thing.

- I was thinking that you could ask Woody to come too.

- No, I wouldn't do that.

Because if I was gonna go anywhere, it'd be

like we've always planned, you and me.

- Yes, you, me, us.

- And Gary.

- He hasn't even said yes yet.

- I don't wanna be someone who follows behind and chats

to you when you're not rooting or pashing.

'Cause I've got a boyfriend, a really nice boyfriend.

- I shouldn't have asked Gary first.

But you have to admit that getting out of here seems

like a pretty great idea right now.

(dramatic music)

- Part of me died every day you were gone.

- Then come.

Let's leave.

(engaging music)

- Come on, I bought these for 50.

- My granddad breeds them for free.

Every pig sold is 100% pure profit.

- How's business?

- Not good.

Think I might try ferrets.

(Debbie laughs)

- Mum's not home.

You can stop the act.

- Young Debbie, where have you been?

Your mum's been worried about you.

- Doubt it.

I can't please her anymore, so I am going

to stop trying and leave that up to you.

- You know my mum hasn't even tried to see me since I left?

- Didn't you root her boyfriend, Cheryl?

Sorry, I really don't wanna be a bitch anymore.

- Your mum is nice.

She's tough, but she cares about a dumb moll like me.

And your dad, he hasn't even tried to root me.

- No, he wouldn't.

- [Judy] Oh, hello.

- Hi.

- You home?

- Yep.

- We're going to the club later.

Would you like to come?

- Yeah, sounds great.

- Great, good.

(engaging dramatic music)

- Cheryl, hop out for a second.

- What?

- Just do it.

You two, sort this out.

- We need to come to an arrangement

about Cheryl living with us.

I know it's hard, but she's not like you.

She needs help.

- Yeah, I know.

- I know I can be hard on you.

- No, you just care about me and I've done

some pretty crazy things lately.

- Mm, yes.

- You know how you've always wanted me

to believe in a big life.

- And you can have it.

We've hit a few speed bumps, but now it's time

to get back on track and focus on school.

- I'm actually leaving school.

- You're not.

- I think I wanna travel.

- You're acting out because you're angry with me.

You are gonna ruin everything.

- I'm not angry.

I'm actually really grateful, because I know now that

I can do anything, have any kind of life, because of you.

(dramatic music)

I imagine a big life, it's just

not the one you imagined for me.

- Well I can't hardly help but worry about you.

- I'm gonna have Sue and Gary.

- Well, that essentially is no comfort to me.

(Debbie laughs)

(emotionally engaging music)

- [Debbie] Sorry.

(dramatic music)

- So, Woody, hypothetical question.

Say I invited you to come along and run away with me.

Would you say yes?

- I've got exams soon.

I've gotta get into vet science.

I could manage a week as long as I studied while I was away.

- It's more of a study-free adventure,

where we dance in fields, sing for our supper,

and howl at the moon while riding dolphins sort of thing.

- I don't think I can.

- That's okay.

I wasn't sure I wanted you to say yes.

- Was that a test?

- I don't know, I think I like the idea that you'd be

so swept away by your love for me

that you'd abandon everything.

- Between December 18th and March 1st next year, I would be.

Does this mean I'm dropped?

- No.

You're too good a boyfriend to be dropped.

- We can be swept away by love on the holidays.

(romantic music)

- [Martin] So it's all okay with Debbie?

- She's, she's leaving school.

- [Martin] What?

- [Judy] She wants to go traveling.

- [Martin] You were supposed to make it all right.

- She's made up her mind.

- Then change it for her!

- I can't, she's not nine anymore.

Martin, we have spent a year trying to control her.

And what happens?

She just fights us every inch and moves

further and further away from us.

I think she's gonna be fine.

She'll probably even be more than fine.

She'll probably have a life that'll

make me so jealous I could spit.

- So we just do nothing?

- Let's get a drink.

- I asked Woody to come.

He said he has exams.

(Debbie laughs)

- I didn't mean to tell Gary, it's...

- No, it's okay.

I realized that I want Gary to come.

Because you'll be crying and mooning for weeks otherwise.

And I will say, oh, look at that cloud,

and you'll say, oh, looks like Gary.

- Yep.

Thanks.

- Hey, Mrs. Candy.

- I can't hang with yous molls.

Gotta go upstairs.

Greg and I are having tea.

I'll bring you down some Island Coolers if you like.

- Why don't you bring me down some old man's dick?

- Oh look, there's one you sucked earlier.

- Don't be so immature.

- You know Mr. Kirsten?

- Woodwork teacher?

- Charlie, one of Greg's mates.

His wife left him.

He's looking for someone.

- Why doesn't he hump my dead body

after I kill myself at the thought of that?

- [Raquel] Let's go, Greg.

- [Girls] Bye, Greg!

- The boys are gonna bury Bruce at sea.

- What, is Gary there?

- They're all there.

- Come on.

(pop music plays)

- Oh, hello, thirsty?

- I really am.

Remember how good I was at school?

- Oh, I remember.

You were so good it pained me to watch it.

- That's Yuki, Lori's new boyfriend.

I can't believe she's gonna marry a nip.

Have yellow babies.

I mean, how the hell can they tell if they have jaundice?

(glasses shatter)

- [Yuki] Ah!

- Are you OK? -

- Are you alright, mate?

- Is he alright?

- [Janitor] You okay, son?

- You tripped him.

- No, I didn't.

- I guess I just wanted to look you in the eye

and say what a disgusting, reprehensible pig

of a man you turned out to be.

- I fell in love.

- I know what you fell into, lust,

for a young, dumb, pretty girl.

- You can't judge me.

- I can and I have.

I hope you lose your job.

- Well, I hope you get thyroid cancer.

- What?

- You better rack off, Mrs. Vickers, you moll.

- Judy, what's going on?

- Control your wife, Martin.

- Child molester!

- You're drinking a lot.

- I'm having fun.

Let's dance.

- I don't want to.

- I will.

And whoopee.

(Judith Laughs)

(boys scream and howl)

(fireworks flare and explode)

(boys yell and banter)

(dramatic music)

- Hi, are you okay?

- Bruce Board!

(boys yell)

- [Debbie] Gary, I'm scared.

- Bruce is dead.

- I know that.

(dramatic music)

- It's my fault.

- No, it's not.

- He always did everything I did, ever since we were kids.

I skated, he skated.

I surfed, he surfed.

I liked sherbet, he liked sherbet.

I took smack.

I should have known he was gonna...

- You tried to stop him.

- I did, but he's dead.

- Gary, you're stoned and you're drunk, okay,

and you're gonna spend the next month with these idiots.

- Shut up, they're my mates!

- Gary, is this really what you want them

to do for you when you die?

Smoke bongs over your dead body

and yell about what a legend you were?

- Shut the fuck up.

He's dead.

- [Boy] Hennessy, come on, let's go!

- I gotta go.

- Are you seriously gonna throw his body into the ocean?

What the fuck is wrong with you?

(dramatic music)

- I'll see ya.

(boys yell and struggle)

(suspenseful music)

(fireworks flare and explode)

(engaging dramatic music)

♪ What about it, Daddy Cool ♪

- Judy, let's go.

♪ Daddy, Daddy Cool ♪

- No, it's Pam's birthday.

♪ Daddy, Daddy Cool ♪

I'm practically her best friend.

- You're very drunk.

- That is a very subjective thing

and I'd say I haven't drunk enough.

- Okay, ladies and genitals, everyone back to our place!

Pam's birthday continues!

(funk music plays)

- You think an old dog can learn new tricks?

- (speaks French)

- What does that mean?

- That's for me to know and you to find out.

- Mm, well I'm definitely gonna find out.

- Do your darnedest.

(funk music plays)

Roger, Roger, Roger.

What were those drinks you were setting fire to?

- Flaming sambucas.

- Sounds exactly what I need.

You know, we were teenagers together

and now we have teenagers.

And they're leaving us, Roger.

They're leaving us.

- I can't bloody wait!

- Judy, we should go home.

You're upset.

- I'm happy, actually!

- There's a hat going round with keys in it.

Do you know what that means?

- Oh, key party!

- Maybe you should throw yours in, Martin.

Annie's dead.

You might need a new one.

(funk music plays)

- [Debbie] I can't believe they just

dumped Bruce in the ocean.

- He was sort of sweet.

Remember?

We thought you were so lucky to find such a spunk?

- Oh, God.

- All we wanted to do was be in the gang.

- And now all I want is to be out.

- We could just go now.

- What do you mean?

Like, pack your bags, we're leaving now?

That kind of now?

- I don't know any other kind.

I have walked down this street every day of my life.

(dramatic music)

I wanna walk down another street.

- What kind of a street?

- Well a street where we don't know anyone that we see.

- What about your mum?

And Lori's back.

- If we wait for the right time, we're gonna

be waiting, like, a year or 10 years.

- What about the boys?

- There will always be boys.

- Stuff the boys.

- We're never gonna do it if we don't just jump.

(dramatic music)

I don't know what's gonna happen.

- That's what I love about it.

- You're the best.

- You are.

(engaging delicate music)

- Here we go, here we go!

Alright, who's ready to rock and roll?

Hit me slowly, hit me quickly!

Who is ready to take a fantastic

voyage into the erotic unknown?

(crowd revels drunkenly)

Porsche, Porsche, Porsche, Porsche, Porsche!

Do we have a winner?

- That's me!

- Lucky you, bastard..

- Let's go.

- Judy!

- Never interrupt a woman on heat, I always say.

All right, one down several to go.

Who's next?

- I understand if you don't want to.

(funk music plays)

- That's all, thank you.

(waves lap)

(dramatic music)

- What are you doing?

- Sue and I are about to get on a train.

- Bullshit.

- Look after my family for me.

- You're really going?

- Also, if you try and root Gary

while I'm gone, I will kill you and feed you

to David's guinea pigs in the tiniest little pieces.

- I liked you better when you were a scaredy little mouse.

- Goodbye, Cheryl.

(dramatic music)

- Goodbye, lovely parents.

I'll ring you.

You can yell at me reverse charges.

I love you both.

(dramatic music)

- [Debbie] Let's do it.

- [Sue] Let's do it.

(engaging delicate music)

(screeching rock music plays)

(bottles clink)

(dramatic music)

- Now, that was a party.

- Indeed.

Oh, my head.

- You know I'm naked under here, don't you?

- And what a glorious thing it is.

Let's not wake the kids up.

- I can't promise anything.

(Pam giggles)

- [Roger] Shh!

- Hey, Mum.

- Gary!

- I'm leaving, Mum.

- What?

Well, where?

- Dunno, just somewhere else.

- Vonnie?

Hey what's going on?

- He's leaving, he's going somewhere else.

- Are your mates going too?

- Just me.

- Well, let me get you some money, then.

- No, I'm good.

(dramatic music)

You take care of yourself.

- I'm sorry.

(dramatic music)

- That's good.

- Shut up, Ferris.

Shut your stupid damn mouth.

- [Cheryl] More toast, Mr. Vickers?

- Thanks, Cheryl.

- So Cassandra's dad is a season ticket holder

of the Sharks, and she said I could go next week.

- [Cheryl] David and Cassandra, sitting in a tree.

- Morning.

- Morning.

- Morning, do you want some tea?

- Thanks, Cheryl.

(dramatic music)

- Hi.

- [Cassandra] Hi.

- We have to talk strategy in my room.

- Door open.

(dramatic music)

Thanks.
