probably see me

as a geek or a nerd or whatever.

They never really give me

much trouble, though.

I... I don't know.

But the odd times that they do

give me a bit of grief,

I just look at them

and think to myself,

"Well, in five years

you'll be on f***ing welfare

"and serving me at McDonald's, so..."

Yeah, well... that's

a comforting thought.

Get back to your mum.

Hey, dude.

Look who's checking you out, man.

Which one?

The f***ing blonde one.

What's her name?

Mel.

Melody, man.

You're gonna be singing

to that tune all night.

Melody!

I've known her since

I was, like, six, man.

Whatever, man.

Look, you've gotta tell me that

with a straight face.

Tell me you wouldn't want

a piece of that arse.

Did you see that look?

I saw that look, man.

You've f***ing done her already,

haven't you?

Did you f*** her in the arse?

Was it tight?

Look, man, you're with your boys.

You can tell us.

Nuh.

You took her home,

you stroked her hair,

and you f***ed her up the ar...

F*** off, yeah?

BO Y:
You alright, Luke?

LUKE:
It's all a f***ing game

at school, you know?

I mean, the sh*t that

goes on there - seriously.

Yeah, I'll give someone sh*t,

I'll pay him out,

but I doubt he's gonna go home

and cry himself to sleep over it.

You know, you've gotta be tough,

otherwise people will stomp you

down to the f***ing ground.

It's a jungle - and if you can't

fake your way through school,

how the f*** are you gonna make it

in the real world?

Huh? Tell me that.

You want me to call

a plumber, Steven?

STEVEN:
I love my family -

my mum, my dad,

my brother and my sister.

Through all of this they've been

sitting at my bedside in hospital

or waiting in waiting rooms

when I've been in theatre.

And they've just been brilliant

through all of this

and... it's just been amazing,

their support.

And now when I have trouble at school

I just... I just don't think

I can complain to them.

I don't... I don't think I can.

They deserve... they deserve

to have better than that now.

Yes.

Sean. G'day, mate. Come on through.

What's that?

Oh, just my folks.

They, um, they got me, like,

this dog the other day.

Oh, cool.

Yeah.

What sort?

Oh, it's, um...

It's like a husky, I guess.

It looks sort of like a wolf.

How's he settling in?

I cut its f***ing throat.

You killed it?

No, I'm just joking.

It's going good. Yeah, I like it.

OK.

And why do you think your, um...

Why do you think your parents

bought you a dog?

I dunno.

It's just... lately, I guess since...

It's probably since I came out,

you know.

They've been f***ing

badgering me constantly about

"Why don't you bring

any people home anymore?"

And...... I guess it's about

they want me to have companionship.

It just f***ing shits me off,

because...

My dad, especially,

always in my ear, constantly -

he thinks this is a phase,

he thinks I'm just

a teenager that...

...this whole f***ing gay thing

is just gonna disappear,

you know what I mean?

It's just f***ing sh*t.

He knows I'm gay.

He has to f***ing deal with it,

and that's it.

It's really hard for fathers

to understand.

Oh, yeah, but I'm his kid. I'm his son.

How f***ing hard is it

to accept your kid?

Parents want their kids

to grow up like they did.

Big deal - did your parents, like...

Did you grow up how your dad was?

No, I didn't. No, I didn't.

But it's a natural parental instinct.

I mean, parents want

their kids to be happy.

I've been as subtle as I can

with this whole thing,

and it's f***ing

blown up in my face.

How are things with your mum?

My mum.

She's a f***ing b*tch.

I don't even go out

with my parents anymore.

I don't even go to the places

that they go to anymore

because everybody knows

I'm f***ing gay.

They don't even ask me

to come anymore.

Do you talk to your brother at all?

No, I don't talk to my brother.

He's the complete opposite,

you know?

He's got this career

and he's gone to uni.

He's done it all.

He's got this woman.

He's probably gonna get married

in a couple of years.

Everything's going really,

really well

and, you know, here's me f***ing...

So he's the golden boy?

Oh, of course he's

the f***ing golden boy.

I mean, what are they

gonna get out of me?

They're gonna get grandkids

out of him.

I'm just their dirty little

f***ing secret.

So they're ganging up on you?

They're not ganging up on me,

they're just both against me.

Hey, Marcus.

Over here.

How you going?

Yeah, I'm... I'm fine.

Um... thanks.

Hey, um...

...I heard about your sister.

Melody?

Yeah.

What? What did you hear about her?

What are you talking about?

Yeah, like, it's OK. I know.

What are you saying?

What are you talking about?

Marcus, look, you can talk to me

about it, you know. It's alright.

What the f*** are you talking about?

You mean you didn't hear?

No, I didn't f***ing hear!

What the hell are you talking about?

Sh*t.

Look, I probably shouldn't

have said anything.

Just f***ing tell me!

F***ing let go, Marcus.

What the f*** is wrong with you?

Sorry. Sorry.

Sorry.

Jesus Christ.

Just f***ing tell me

what the f*** is going on.

Fine, alright. I heard she

might be pregnant, alright?

Just... Jesus.

Who the f*** told you that?

Yeah.

I can't stand the whole attitude

at school.

You know, all that politically

correct, self-righteous bullshit.

You know, calling it my 'issues'

and calling me homo-f***ing-sexual.

You know, f*** that.

You don't call a p*ssy

a vagina, do you?

I'm f***... I'm gay.

It's as simple as that.

F***ing get over it.

F***, I gotta go back into class.

Oh, I got f***ing Jacobs.

F***ing... Oh, I got physics.

I got phy...

Look at that pink f***ing sh*t.

How the...

Nah, not good for the animals,

that sh*t. Not good.

Blue f***ing...

So, we're OK?

Mmm.

Where you been?

Inside Sarah.

You're f***ing kidding me.

No joke. I gotta take a piss.

Remember to wipe

the sh*t off your cock.

Yeah, get laid first

then come talk to me.

What's going on?

Dude, just leave.

You can't f***ing avoid me forever.

Just f*** off, alright?

Don't f***ing touch me!

What the f***?

You're pretty f***ing confident

giving me sh*t

in front of your mates, huh?

You f***ing macho man.

Just f*** off!

Oh, look, everyone knows

you're f***ing gay, alright?

F***ing get over yourself.

You f***ing c*nt.

F***!

Watch it!

Get the f*** out of my way!

What the f***?

Motherf***er!

SEAN:
People reckon

I can't fall in love.

But I have.

Who is it?

That's my business.

But it feels f***ing great.

And I know one day

I'll be able to bring him

down to the house

so he can meet Mum and Dad.

And I'll make sure he sits right next

to my brother at the kitchen table.

He'll f***ing freak.

SEAN:
What's going on?

LUKE:
Dude, just leave.

SEAN:
You can't f***ing

avoid me forever.

LUKE:
Just f*** off, alright?

LUKE:
Don't f***ing touch me!

SEAN:
What the f***?

You're pretty f***ing confident

giving me sh*t

in front of your mates, huh?
