Hey, um... I'm trying to get to... uh, Erskineville.

Didn't this line used to leave from... um, platform... uh, platform one?

- One or two. - Excuse me?

Catch it from platform one or two through Central.

Right, so I can... uh, catch it from either of those two?

One or two.

OK... um, it's just that the maps don't tell you...

uh, where... where you should be going.

Do I have to wait like... uh, 15 (minutes) or so?...

...OK, thank you.

- Hey. - I'll be with you in a second...

Huh! Holy shit! When did you get in?

Just got in then.

- Look at you! - Yeah, well look at you!

- How are you? - Good, yeah.

- Cool - How are you? - Ah, good, really good.

- Yeah, I thought you'd still be here eh? - Oh, I manage it now.

Yeah, the old couple don't give a shit too much.

Yeah, well you get a bit more freedom.

Ah, yeah, it's something eh?

So, do you wanna go grab some breakfast or something?

Yeah, let's go.

- So did you kill any buffalo while you were away? - No, I didn't.

Crocodiles as well need to be culled. See any?

- No, I didn't get that far north. - So where'd you go?

North just not that far. Found a small town and stayed there for a while.

Moved around a bit.

Chips.

Freddie fucking friendly!

Where's the tomato-sauce?

Hey, can I have some sauce?

What you have been doing?

- Still seeing Rachel? - Ah, no...

no we stopped seeing each other.

Mm... You know how she was doing that

- amateur theatre stuff? - Yeah

Yeah, well she went off with the guy who was doing that with her or something.

- She thought I didn't know about it. - Why would she do that?

Dunno. Yeah, she tried to cover it up and everything.

- So what about you? Are you gonna try and see Lanny? - I don't know.

How long has it is been since you've seen her?

- Almost too long ago. - Yeah.

Fuck!

Now I'm losing hair?!

Fuck, where's the tomato sauce?

This is ridiculous! I've waited long enough I'm going to have to get it myself. This is going fucking cold.

Just get that bottle.

So what... are you staying with your brother now or...?

Nah, he doesn't know I'm here yet.

They kind of didn't know where I was for a while.

- Stay with me then, yeah? - Yeah!

- Anyway, are you still in the same place? - Yeah...

but you wouldn't recognise it Bud.

Shit those things stick in your guts.

Hey stand still. Let me look at you.

Not much to look at huh?

So, uh, the... the funeral's tomorrow?

Yeah. You don't have to come if you don't wanna.

No... no, I'll come.

Yeah, whatever. It's 10:40

- Do you uh, still see much of your family? - No, just my uncle.

He's a good story-telling bullshit artist.

Ah, you know what families are like.

Yeah.

Hey, what about a key?!

Uh... this is a spare. You can keep this one.

OK, thanks.

- The kid's back - Yeah, just for a minute.

- You know where you're going? - Yeah. - Ah... I'll see you in a while.

What the fuck are you doing?

You're fucking useless!

What did I tell you to do? Hmmm? What did I tell you to do?

- Echo: You fucking useless piece of shit! - What did I tell you to do?

Do as you're fucking told! Do as you're told!

Do as you're fucking told you little shit!!! Echo: Shithead, do as you are told!

Do as you are fucking well told!!!

So, you, stay there!! And you, out!!

I said fucking out!! Fuck!!!!

I said get up!!! Get the fuck up!!!!!!

TV show: The thing is... you get these guys who've been played with their whole lives

and they, they... they can't deal with reality.

There's our suspect now. Put the gun down and don't go for any bullets. I've got it...

- Hey. - Hey.

Fuck that!

The little shit that works the afternoon shift...

he turns up around 45 minutes late and he says

"Oh sorry", you know, "I forgot I was working" and I said "Yeah, you always forget so next time,

don't bother turning up you pissy little skate freak."

He's off his dial half the time with this huge skateboard under his arm...

Do you watch many of these?

Shit yeah, they're cool!

They got like action, romance, comedy, thriller, mystery all in one...

and these fantastic musical interludes that just break the reality.

- You like your musical interludes - Aww, its heaps better than some of that stuff we used to watch.

So what d'ya do?

Ah man, I just slept for an hour.

Refuel, rejuvenate.

The start of the end... the weekend.

Thanks.

Hey, I gotta pick some shit up off of Kane.

I called him from the shop, I told him you were here and he said we should come round.

Yeah, I'd like to see him again.

So d'ya get a hold of your brother?

No, I couldn't get through.

Oh. Did you try Jen?

- Nah. - I heard she left him.

Oh yeah.

- You still tired? - Yeah, I didn't sleep much on the train.

What's on?

I dunno, Superman or Superboy or something.

Ah, super pile of shit...

I can lend you a suit for tomorrow.

Y'know, it'll be a bit big but... you know, you should wear a suit.

Yeah... yeah, I thought I'd go formal.

OK... no, put your feet down here... nuhhh... and stay still dickhead.

Stay still dickhead!

- Keep it straight. - Yeah, well you balance your weight.

Woooohooo! Slow down man, slow down a bit!

Oh Jesus!

I am so hot!

Police! Everybody get down on your hands and knees!

Oh no, don't shoot me Mr Policeman.

- Hey. -Hey. - Hi Wayne.

- Have you met Ruby? - No. Hi.

- Hi. - This is Barky. - Hi.

- Yeah, I remember you. - Hey...

- ...where the fuck have you been? Not here else I would have seen ya. - I just took off for a while.

- How've you been? - Oh, just on plateau mate.

Another one.

- What's wrong with the TV? - Ah, bad spooky things.

I almost had it a minute ago. They weld all the parts together so you canít get into 'em, you have to buy the whole thing.

It's a fucking rip-off.

- Do you guys want a smoke? - Yeah...

- yeah, we should have brought some beers. - Uh, a bit early!

- Ah, says the chimney woman. - So you back here now?

- Where d'you go? - Aww, I just had to get away from everything.

- Saw Michael on the train. - Ah, yeah?

eah, he was gone. I'd just had a smoke as well.

I was talking to him and then he just stopped and pointed at the ground and said

"That half a peanut looks like an old man's toenail."

And I looked at it...

and it fucking did!

- Yeah, it was gross. - Is it okay if I get a glass of water?

Nah. Yeah, yeah. Bring... bring the jug in.

- Here's your 25 ($) from last week... - Cool.

...and can I get another half?

Yeah, only for you.

Hey, ah... did you get the job at the...

- whatever it was? - Oh, no, didn't want it as soon as I walked in...

uh. It was the type of newspaper that would use the heading "Model is kidnapped". Not girl or person but model.

Like it's somehow meant to be worse that she's like - Oh my God- a model!

Kane: I got most of this stuff through Coppa. I still owe him about 200 ($) but he's pretty cool about it.

Hey, Coppa'd (would) know where your brother is.

- Are you looking for your brother? - Yeah, yeah I don't know where he is.

- Yeah, Coppa'd (would) know. I have to go and see him later. You should come with me. - Yeah, cool.

Lanny and I hung out together.

- Yeah I know. - Yeah, but you don't remember me do you?

Yeah, yeah you were always smoking near the old theatre.

Yeah, near the exit stairs. We hung out there all the time. Lanny lives here.

Yeah, well you know, I'd like to see her some time.

- Yeah, she'd probably like to see you. - Yeah, well you should come round when she's home.

She is home. She's in her room.

Yeah, go and say "Hi" then we'll go.

Yeah, we got plenty of time.

Kane: Pass me the jug.

Oh, uh, oh... I want to show you this... I want to show you this picture.

Natasha: Kane, where's the magazine?

Kane: Dunno...

Kane: Ah, I threw it out.

Natasha: Oh Kane! You didn't!?

- Yeah. - Um...

What? Come in.

- Hi. - Hi.

Hi... oh, you're busy I can come back.

No... I'm not busy.

God!

Come in... no, I'm... I'm just stuffing around finishing a few drawings.

Yeah, yeah I can see.

Come in.

- When did you get in? - Ah... this morning.

How d'you know I was here?

I didn't.

- Well, you look different. - Yeah, yeah.

You look different.

So we both look different

Yeah.

- Well it's really good to see ya. - It's good to see you.

I think we saw each other last at the party at the ah... at the sport place,

and you had that purple-bluish hat on.

Well that was a couple of years ago.

- Well, I like your room. - Oh, it's messy now.

S... sit down

Oh, eh... you've got glasses now.

Yeah, I think it's... it's just cause of these things...

cause of the... the light.

I'm upgrading in a month or so,
