Shockwaves

That's there.

Or is it that way?

It must be, um... there.

Ugh for god's sake.

Hey mate. You right?

Oh, you haven't switched in ages? No, no, no.

Oh you get guess where I am, have a look at this.

Just sent it to you. You see it?

Yeah, yeah, it's that mountain. Did you remember?

We climbed it like two years ago. Two or three years ago.

Oh sorry, uh, the... sorry

I just heard something really weird.

Yeah. Do you know that mountain?

With all the, all the trees and stuff.

All them moving around.

Yeah. It's really weird.

Yeah. It was happening all the way down the valley.

Fuck!

Oh fuck!

It's mine Erica, give it back!

No it's not, it's mine!

I said give it back!

Stop it! Stop it Hannah!

Erica stop winding your sister up

and give her back her top!

I'm not!

Girls, we don't have time for this,

we need leave in five minutes!

Yeah, well I can't find my shoes!

I don't care, if you're not outside

and packed in five minutes,

I'm leaving without you!

Just leave then!

Is everything all right?

It's fine. Not that you would've jumped in anyway.

When are you getting the builders to get this stuff?

Gwen? I've...

You girls have got everything?

Yes Mum.

And Erica?

Are you sure you can't come with us?

You know I can't, Hannah.

It won't be the same if you're not there.

I'm sorry.

You know Mum and Erica will just

be fighting the whole time.

There's not much I can do about that.

Well, you could be there.

I can't.

And it's not because I don't wanna be there.

I've got some unusual readings at work.

I've gotta do more tests

and I need to go the office this weekend.

Oh, you always have to work.

I'll make it up to you. I promise.

We'll go for the whole week,

rather than a weekend next time.

What?

You shouldn't make promises you can't keep, Dad.

Found it!

Good, come on then girls

time to get moving!

Bye girls have a great time!

I'll see you when you get back!

And, uh, I'll cook spaghetti and meatballs.

Or something, or, um, take away my treat!

Say goodbye to your Dad.

Bye Dad.

Bye-bye.

Look, Peter.

Let it be Gwen, takeaway or do spaghetti and meatballs,

everything will be back to normal.

Please don't do this Peter.

Do what?

Act like everything's normal, cause it's not Peter.

Everything's on the kitchen counter.

Read them if you want.

But all they really need is your signature.

Gwen. I've, I've been through this.

Just sign them Peter!

Well we'll see when we get back,

we can talk then.

Uh, Gwen.

What? The

What's up Peter?

Your fancy printer went out of ink?

It's very funny Jim.

Oh, you've lost your colored pencils?

Yeah. Good one.

No, how about one of his rocks has gone missing?

Uh, there's more outside if you need them Pete.

Gotta do some work.

Yeah. Must be really hard work staring at those maps.

Yeah. Do you even need to go to school for that?

Yes.

I have a Doctorate, the same as you.

These are not maps, these are seismographs

and they measure earthquakes.

Does anyone actually listen to me?

Not usually. No.

You're wasting your time anyway,

as if there's gonna be any earthquakes around here.

Well actually... do you know what? Never mind.

Let us do some work.

Let's let him do some work.

Hang on.

What's that?

Oh no! It's an earthquake!

Can I please just do some work?

All right, we'll be away.

Someone can't take a joke!

Come on Jim.

What on Earth?

Mum, what is it?

I don't know.

Mum. What's that over there?

Is it safe to be here?

Should be fine, I imagine there's been

a lot of rain that's made the ground wet.

Nobody cause a scene, we'll keep going.

Finally, I thought that road was never going to end.

Oh, hi!

Hi Amanda!

Well, you certainly chose a secluded spot, didn't you?

Well, when I said it was a weekend retreat, I meant it.

Plus I think we all need a bit of peace and quiet.

Don't we girls?

Yes.

Yes.

How are you doing?

Fine. You know?

Well, hopefully this will help you

to take your mind off a few things.

Do you want to come take a look inside?

Yeah!

So the hot tub is just out back

and I've already been shopping

and bought everything you're going to need for food.

And drinks?

And drinks of course.

I mean, we can't have a relaxed weekend

without the Pinot Grigio, you know what I mean?

Excellent, I should be having several glasses

of that this evening.

Is there any WiFi here?

Yeah, I can't seem to get a signal at all.

Um, I think of this card has a password for it.

Well, that's the girls all sorted for the weekend then?

What do you think we should do first?

Actually I've booked us in for caving this afternoon.

Caving?

What, as in like crawling through actual caves and stuff?

That sound terrifying.

Well, that's why I only booked it for me and your mum.

What'd you say? Fancy crawling through caves Gwen?

Sure, why not? Let's do it.

Yeah.

Yeah. I don't think I could do that,

I'm way too claustrophobic.

Well, clearly your mum's the adventurous one

in the family then.

Or the crazy one!

Hey! Watch it you!

So what are three of you going to do

while Amanda and I are out?

Sit on your bums all day?

Should have left them at home with their dad.

Yeah, you should've.

I'm happy to be here, I think maybe we could go exploring.

Maybe bring a picnic?

Oh, that's a nice idea,

I think there's lakes nearby or something.

Oh yeah. I think we passed one on our way up.

- Oh, then we can go swimming! - I'll go get my stuff.

Yep.

We'll be gone a couple of hours,

are you sure you have everything you need?

Yep.

Here are the keys,

you're probably gonna be back before us.

Thank you. More time in the hot tub then.

As long as you don't drink all the wine,

that doesn't bother me.

Well be good.

We will!

Come on.

Bye!

Let's go find a snake!

I'm going to the canteen.

Do you want a coffee Jim?

Yes.

Yes. Nice one mate, yeah I'll have a coffee.

Oh gosh.

Sorry we're late, we couldn't find the turning.

Not to worry. You must be Amanda?

Oh yeah, we spoke on the phone.

Hi there. My name's Sam,

Hi.

And this is my daughter, Erin.

Hi!
