[boys playing rugby]

Epic move, boys.

Rider, that switch-- genius.- You too, skip.

That's what it's about.

Movement, commitment.

We'll fucking kill these bastards with that shit.

Nice work, boys.

Nice work.

Nick, spot on, ja?

Now, get cleaned up.

Last one in the showers is a homo!

I'm a man who fought for my beliefs, ya?

Fought for my people, foughtfor the brotherhood of a nation,

the rainbow nation.

And through togethernessand respect for each other,

we defeated the greatest injustice in the world--

apartheid.

Uh, what is apartheid?

[laughter]

The fact is that success in life

is only as important as thepeople you share it with.

This is your family, this team, hm?

And if you can stand up foreach other out on that pitch,

you can do anything.

Nick.

This Friday, there are going to be

30 men on that pitch, 15 ofwhom are going to be winners.

15 of them are going to be bitches.

Which do you want to be?

TEAM: Winners!

Damn right!

Because this is a team of winners.

We're not going to allow ourselves to fail.

Because failing is a giantbitch with sharp claws.

We're going to gang rape failure.

We're going to hold itdown and we're going to--

Nick, I think you've takenthat metaphor far enough, ya.

Aye, aye, coach.

But you get the point.

We're going to smash it.

Right, boys?

TEAM: Fuck, yes!

Fuck, yes, indeed.

You're crying, Warren.

She left you because you're a crying man.

Nobody loves a crying man.

You feel that pain in your chest, Warren?

It's not stress.

It's not cholesterol either.

It's breasts buddingwhere your pecs should be.

Instead of man armor,you're growing tits, Warren.

Tits.

It's no wonder she's fucking around.

Now, put down the pills.

Grow a pair and stand up for yourself.

Suicide is for quitters, Warren.

Listen to your life coach.

Peace out.

[blender whirring]

MATTY: What's this?

LEON LEVAN: It's a set of rules, a contract.

It's comprehensive.

Yeah, well, I'm not takingmy chances this time, Matthew.

MATTY: "No girls in the bedroom.

I shall not use my father'ssporting equipment."

Yeah, that last one especially.

Not having you go batshit on us again.

Right, Nick? - Yeah, right.

MATTY: "I will complete my education."

I was thinking of gettinga job, actually, something

that lets me do my music.

Drug music.Where's the money in that?

MATTY: There isn't. That's why I need a job.

LEON LEVAN: You'll finish your education.

That's what you'll do. - Don't I get a choice?

Oh, yes, Matthew, you've got a choice.

You can stay here, obey my rules, and behave,

or you can fuck off!

How does that sound?

It sounds good to me.

The Levan boys back together.

Cheers, guys.

See that, Matty?

That's can-do attitude.

Yeah?

Now, you follow those rules, do as I say,

you could be just like Nick.

Well, we all need a role model, right?

Was that sarcasm?

Dad, chillax.

Look at his face.

It's super sincere.

It better be.

Sign it.

Nick, witness.

Good.

Right.

I've got to go.

Warren is threatening to overdose again.

And I need to take him for a game of golf,

try out my new driver.

Callaway.

Big Bertha.

Hollow head.

Tasty.

Thwack!

In the hole.

[fake cheering]

I've got a meeting withyour principal this morning.

Don't be late.

Nick, a word.

Listen, if he starts any of his mind games,

just remember, you're better than him.

Phase that shit right out.

Uh-huh. - Thanks.

Yeah.

[knocking]

Got a minute?

Course.

Man, I'm so psyched for this game on Friday.

It's going to be epic.

Are you coming? - Yeah.

Of course.

Will Dad be there?

Yeah.

I mean, I hope so.

But he's, uh-- he's really busy.

So-- yeah.

Listen, mate.

I just wanted you to know something.

You're my big brother.

We've had beefs, yeah.

But fuck that shit.

You said sorry.

That was all I needed.

We move on. Agreed?

Cool.

You know it.

Going to be smooth as.

What about Liv?

What about her?

Well, don't we have to talk about--

We don't have to do anything.

Me and her, it was a thing, a bit of fun.

Nothing else.

Yeah, she was into me.

But I was just dealing with shit.

MATTY: Really?

Totally.

Seriously, you have nothing to worry about.

I wasn't worrying about me.

NICK: Good.

Are you into her?

Don't know.

Might be.

So you're fine with it, then?

Super fine.

Me and Mini are better than ever.

Deep shit.

Cool.

[doorbell rings]

That'll be her now.

Matty, the rules.

Yeah, I know.

But I didn't know them when she called.

Yeah, but still.

Listen, Nick.

You trust me, right?

Fine, I get it.

Compromise.

Give, take.

You're a star.

[MUSIC PLAYING AND SEXUAL MOANING]

[SINGING] Lift me up and showme real heights [inaudible]

Mini, it's me.

I need to see you.

Hi.

Your mom let me in.

Prepared to be spoiled--

flowers, chocolates, oil.

They're beautiful.

Of course, I can't eat the chocolates.

But mum-- oils?

Massage oils.

You're in for some Nick nuzzling.

How's that?

Good, ya?

Great.

You know it.

That-- That's really--

god, Nick, Nick!

What?

You're-- you're jabbing into me with it.

Yeah, he's feeling left out.

Ah!

Not-- not there.

Shit.

Sorry.

Do you want to get on top?

Quickly.

I'm trying.

It won't--

And if we get to the final,there will be scouts and shit.

And that means one thing.

Uh, really?

What sort of scouts?

Pros.

The big time, baby.

I could be your WAG.

There's Matty.

Come on.

What happened to you?

Went to see my favorite girl, Mini.

Hey, Liv.

Isn't this great?

Two brothers, two best mates.

The awesome foursome in the perfect storm.

Didn't everyone die in "The Perfect Storm"?

Details, mate.

The point is we're wet and dangerous.

Yo, skip!

There's my boys.

Check this out.

Go on, mate.

Come on.

Yeah, come on.

Spank that ball, baby.

Spank that ball.

[classmates jeer]

Jizz ball, you big gay!

Later, homos.

Love those guys.

Here comes the old man.

Boys.

Laters, girls.

Don't.

What?

Whatever it is.

Just don't.

Well, it's a most irregular situation.

We're well into term.

Matthew's record is hardly unblemished.

In fact, it is positivelyflecked with failure,

disobedience, and misdemeanor.

He was misunderstood, sir.

A history of drug abuse and violence.

We dropped those charges.

That Matty's in the past.

He's moved on, sir.

He's going to try.

Right, Matty?

Right.

Mr. Blood, when I firstagreed to send Nick here,

despite offers from severalother, and frankly better,

alternatives, you promised certain privileges.

Now, of course, some of thoseoffers are still on the table.

I see.

And what of Mrs. Levan?

Is she as committed to this new direction?

Mrs. Levan isn't committed to anything.

Her family in particular,as well you know.

Professor Blood, you broughtme here to win games for you.

I'm winning games.

As I said he would.

I can vouch for Matty, sir.

Straight up.

He won't step out of lineout of respect for me.

Right, Matthew?

100 percent.

Very well.He may re-enroll on probation.

Thank you, sir.

That is absolutely wicked.

What a bell-end.

Who does he think he is giving it the big I am?

He's just a jumped upbabysitter with an office.

Prick.

Right.

I've got to go.

Places to be, clients to save.

Just you remember, I'll be watching you.

Right-o.

High five, Mattattack, you're in.

Fuck me, dude.

I don't know how you put up with this shit.

What do you mean, put up?

I've got it all right here.

It's all right here in the nickosaur's

mighty palm of destiny.

If you say so.

Of course, I do.

Come on. Hop in.

We'll go meet the gang.

The rugby guys?

No, my guys, the gang.

You'll love them.

Come on.

Shithead.

Bollocks.

Officer on deck.

How's the wriggle team?

Oh, thank god.

My hero boyfriend is here to save the day.

Listen, guys.

This is Matty.

I know you met him before.

But that was all, well, drama-rama.

So--

It's you.

Hi.

You two know each other?

We met once.

So you were homeless?

More on the move.

- It must have been really hard.- No.

After the first few blow jobs,you get used to the taste.

And then it's pretty lucrative, really.

[laughter]

That's not true.

Isn't this wicked?

The Bloods and theCripples together at last?

You get me?

What's he talking about?

Nick's suggesting thatwe're a bunch of cripples

and that he and Mini are similarto a black violent LA street

gang.

Honestly.

Anyway, I've got to run.

You coming to this thing later?

What? What thing?

I didn't know about a thing.

Liv said that we were allgoing out, meet properly.

Nah. No.

Big-- big game tomorrow.

Best run.

[laughter]

Officer on deck.

Everyone brought their A game?

A game is the only one I've got.

Glad to hear it, champ.

RIDER: What's with Liv, man?

What about her?

That fucking scrawny littleturd-corn she was with.

I thought she was into real men.

She was never into you, Rides.

Yeah.

Well, he was like a sort ofweird little miniature gay.

Surprised the little pecker hasn't

drowned in my sloppy seconds.

Rider, shut the fuck up, yeah?

RIDER: Hey, what?

You into her or something?

He's my brother.

RIDER: Your brother?

[laughs] Him?

He's your brother?

What did they do, raise theafterbirth and give it a name?

Rider, that's enough, mate.

RIDER: All right, skip.

Calm down.

Fuck it.

You can have the manky bitch.

Reckon I wore her out last time.

Once ol' Ride's has his way, they're ruined.

Rider, one more word and I'll smack you.

What the fuck, man.

She's not your bird.

What's going on, Nick?

What the fuck are you all doing!

We're supposed to be training, yeah?

So a low contact run.

No big hits, yeah?

Just work through your movesand give it up if you're caught,

right?

Right?

Play!

Benny's ball!

[groans]

[whistle blows]

Oh!

Jesus Christ, Levan.

What the fuck was that?

Got carried away.

Too fucking right you did.

[groans]

[whistle blows]

So you're going to tell mewhat the matter is, then, eh?

I'm just nervous about the game, coach.

Don't tug me, boy.

You can say what you like.

But muscles never lie.

Oh!

I can read a body like a book, boy.

And this is a depressing bookabout an anxious young man.

Argh!

Shit.

Just as I thought.

An anxious young man is worrying about a girl.

You know what I thinkabout those types of books?

No, sir.

They're no good to me before a big game.

You know, I've got a brother back in Jo'burg.

I didn't speak to him for 10 years.

OK.

Just shut up and listen, ja?

He was a bastard, right?

Angry, bigoted young man.

I hated his guts.

I don't have a problem with Matty, coach.

Yes, you do.

I can feel it.

NICK: Oh!

MINI: What are you doing?

Shit.

Nothing.

I'm not doing anything.

OK.

Why are you hanging around outside?

I was about to call you to see where

you are, if you were coming.But you're here now.

So ace.

Grace called me.

Nice one.

Come on, then.

[dance music plays]

Feel the love, guys.

Hey, man.

Hello, mate.

Hi.

What's the chat?

We're planning how wecan find Alo a girlfriend.

Oh, wicked.

What's the brief?

The brief?

Yeah.

What are you after?

Short term lover, desperatefuck, the love of your life?

You've got to set your aim on your prey,

know their weaknesses,then dah, hunt them down.

He's not picky.

I am, a bit.

Well, not really.

NICK: Well, great.

Well, how about Franky?

Why not?

See, it makes sense thatany two people here that are

single, so why not the hookup?

Needs must, right?

Then we'd all be couples.

We could swing and shit.

Ew.

I'm going to go to the bar.

I'll give her a hand.

You've got a full pint.

Not any more.

So you and Matty, eh?

How's it going?

Nick, let's not do this.

Do what?

You know what.

I'm just, you know, checking everything's

all right, that he's, you know.

What?

He smashed up our entire house.

He goes crazy.

And I don't want it to happen again.

Not to you.

[laughs] Oh, yeah.

Good one. I see.

You're worried I might get hurt.

That's it?

No.

Nick, what is this?

Have you got a problem withme seeing your brother?

I don't have a problem.

I just-- I just wonder what it means for us.

Us?

Nick, there is no us.

There never was.

Hey, come on.

We had good times.

We fucked twice.

And I wasn't fucking you.

I was fucking Mini.

I don't know what that means.

No, of course, you don't.

Nick, she knows about us.

And she's still with you.

Don't you think that's fucked up?

We're fine.

We're better than ever.

If that's what you think,then you two deserve each other.

[inaudible] please, chap.

[fast paced music]

What the fuck are you doing?

What am I doing? This is me, is it?

Is it my fault?

This isn't cool.

RIDER: I'm having a good time.

NICK: You're out of order.- Why?

'Cause I danced with your best mate?

- Bruv, leave it. - Matty, stay out of it.

RIDER: Yeah, stay out of this, you freak.

Why don't you fuck off back to your tart

before she gets hornyagain and fucks a passer.

Argh!

Oh, I think you broke my nose!

Mini.

Don't suddenly act like you care.

I do!

If you cared, then whydid you fuck my best friend?

Mins.

Fuck you!

Fuck you, Nick.

Nick.

[grunts] Shit!

Shit.

MATTY: Fancy throwing a ball.

Won't your friends be missing you?

Go on.

I can still beat you.

[music - aesop, "ace reporter"]

[SINGING] This coffee tastes like a joke

with a priest in it.

I'm far away, in control.

And I don't care.

You'll never believe what Ican believe when I am fired up.

You'll never believe what I can believe

when I put my mind right to it.

The sun is smart.

It won't come up.

It oversleeps--

Everything's so fucking easy for you, isn't it?

I've worked my arse off.

I've done everything I'm supposed to do.

And you just-- you walk back in like nothing

happened and fuck up my life again!

I'm not the one fucking you up, Nick!

[SINGING] believe when I am fired up.

You'll never believe what I can believe

when I put my mind right to it.

Where the fuck have you been?

Out.

Dad, it's 2:00 AM.

Where are you going?

Warren's killed himself.

I gave that bastard more time, care,

and attention than any fucker in his life,

and they want to question me?

Give me shit?

All I try and do is help.

I get blamed when things go wrong.

Blame culture.

That's what's wrong with this country.

Dad, I need to talk to you.

The state of you.

You've got a game tomorrow.

What the fuck are you playing at?

I've had a bad night.

You've had a bad nightbecause you chose to have one.

Or is that my fault too?

Is it?

Dad, I need--

Fuck's sake, Nick.

Grow up.

[door slams]

[breathing heavily]

Aah!

[glass shatters]

Aah!

Aah!

Aah!

MATTY: Nick.

Go.

Go!

[alternative music plays]

Oh.

[groans]

Liv!

Liv.

Oh!

[coughs and sputters]

What the fuck?

I need to speak to you.

No, you need to go!

No.

[coughs] Please, Liv.

[groans] You're the only one that understands me.

[coughs] I need you, Liv.

No, you don't, Nick.

I don't know what you need, but it's not me.

Go home, Nick.

Oh.

Are you all right?

You look fucked.

I mean, I'm fucked.

I mean, not all right.

What's your name?

It's Matty.

[groans] Who are those children?

They're my kids.

How old are you, Matty?

Old enough.

Can we have some more?

Not now.

I want to feel something, Matty.

[music - white ring, "roses"]

[swing squeaks]

What are you doing here?

I live around the corner.

No, I'm good.

You look like shit, you know?

Yeah.

I think I managed to fuckjust about everything up.

You know that I'm--

that people think I'm a dick.

And sometimes, you know, I--

I am.

Sometimes I do things I know I shouldn't, and I

do them anyway. 'Cause--

fuck.

Why do I do them?

You're not a complete dick.

Thanks.

So what are you going to do now, then?

Well, I'll leave you to it.

[voices talking loudly]

[talking stops]

You're late, Levan.

I'm not playing.

I can see that.

Ever.

I'm done.

That's it.

I need to sorts some shit out.

Because if I don't, I'll go crazy.

And I'll end up fucked up and alone.

And I can't be like that.

And rugby-- rugby isn't helping.

And actually, I hate it.

And I-- I hate the bullshit--

the bullshit, the nonsense.

And Rider.

I fucking hate Rider.

And I hate--

I hate too much at the moment, coach.

And I need to-- I need to stop.

But I don't hate you, coach.

So I wanted you to know.

Well, if that's the way you feel.

It is.

I'm sorry.

So what are you going to do about it?

I'm leaving.

I'm going to find my brother,and we're going to leave.

I can't-- we can't be withmy dad anymore, coach.

You're going to run away, is that it?

I'm not running away.

Yes, you are.

It's all very well seeingan injustice, Nick.

That's the easy part.

What you do next is the hard part.

It defines a man.

I can't be happy in that house, coach.

You want to be happy?

That it, ja?

Yeah.

[scoffs] You know who this is.

Yeah, of course.

But--

COACH POOTER: He's a happy man, ja?

Respected.

Everybody loves Madiba.

He's fair, and peaceful, and friendly.

But when he was your age,he was a right angry fucker.

Furious, yeah?

He blew things up, foughtand fought and fought

against the shit he came up against.

He never ran away.

They had to lock the bastardaway to try to stop him.

And even then, he fought.

NICK: I don't know what you're saying.

I'm saying I thought you werestronger than someone who runs,

Nick. Stand up for yourself.

I am.

No, you're not.

Just saying that-- you're a coward, ja.

Fuck you, coach.

Fucking bottler.

Luck, boys.

See you around.

Where are you going? Put your bag down.

You were supposed tobe keeping an eye on him.

Shut up.

What?

I did it.

[scoffs] Don't believe you.

I don't care what you believe.

[exhales] Oh, I see.

You're standing up for yourself.

Is that it?

He's got to you.

I know you, Nick, and you wouldn't have

done shit if it wasn't for him.

No, I wouldn't have doneshit if it wasn't for you.

None of this would have happened if you'd just--

fuck.

Stop being a cunt.

So are you, uh--

you're ganging up on me now, eh?

Yeah.

Yes, we are.

[MUSIC - BLUES SARACENO, "BIG PICTURE"]
