Daffodils

Check. Check. One, two.

How well do you know your parents?

Before tonight, I thought I knew mine.

But... I was wrong.

This is my dad.

You'd better go.

Holding my hand, he told me stories he'd never told anyone.

It's easy to forget your parents were once young, crazy things.

And I wonder if Mum realized...

how little she knew him.

Maisie...

Come on.

Get out of here.

My name is Maisie.

And this my parents' story.

Oi, you gutless little shits!

It's only beer, Uncle.

Bullshit, it is. Put them back.

Come back!

Oh!

Hey!

Hey!

What do you think you're doing?

Feeding the ducks.

Really?

Just because you can't see them,

doesn't mean they're not there.

You can go now.

Do you want a ride?

Well, what other options have you got?

Come on.

Come on.

Thanks.

Where to?

Rangiatea.

Where's that?

It's just past Otorohanga.

Otorohanga? That's... That's like an hour away.

I can't take you that far, eh? It's okay.

No, no. I'm, ah...

Hey...

Hey!

Fuck it.

Keith!

Hey. ROSE: Mmm?

This is your house, right?

Hmm. Yeah.

Gosh, that was quick.

Yeah. It was.

Okay? ROSE: Okay.

There we go. What's going on? Is she all right?

Yeah. She's... She's fine.

Hey, Mum.

She's drunk. ROSE: Hi, dad.

Get that boy out of here. Ow.

She was just on the side of the road there.

I think her friends must've ditched her.

You've woken the whole bloody house up, mate.

I think she's just had a bit much to drink. Stand up!

Yeah (LAUGHS) That's obvious, isn't it?

Thanks for looking after her.

Oh, no worries.

Come out when you're sober.

Oh. (GASPS)

Hi.

Hello.

Excuse me...

Um...

Hello!

Hey... Hi.

Dad told me you worked here.

Um, are you planning on buying something?

Yeah. Do you want a hand?

No.

You got anything in mind?

Beatles?

Beatles?

You might want to check out the "B" section then...

Ah, your... your folks weren't too angry?

No. They're fine...

now (LAUGHS)

I suppose I should say, thank you.

I suppose you should.

So, there he is.

Um... I live in town now, here.

So, are you gonna ask me out or...

How embarrassing. Ah... ah.

Ah, hey. Wait, wait, wait, wait.

Who is she? Shhh...

Your mom doesn't like me that much.

She... doesn't like anyone.

You don't get it...

She made it pretty clear that I'm not the guy

you bring home for a Sunday roast.

But you could be.

Pick me up at six... YWCA.

Sorry.

Ta da! Up! Up! Up!

Ooh. That's very red.

Well, he won't notice you if it's not.

He's late. Maybe he's not coming.

Oh, of course he is. Don't act too keen.

They won't say much.

But... They can tell if you're nervous.

I'm not nervous. Mmm.

Make him do all the work. Oh. (LAUGHS)

Act like you don't care.

Rose! Eric's here!

Okay, Rose. You know what to do.

Hey.

Do you know what room number Rose is in?

Umm... Yeah. She's in Room 20.

But I'm in Room 25.

Thanks.

What?

Am I late or something?

Hey!
