Baby we can talk all night...

GRAHAM:
I'm really sorry, David.

LUKE:
I actually got some really good

therapists specialized in this area.

Maybe we could go together.

Yes, it's not all bad. He can

come back to London with us,

go to therapy with Luke, watch

Graham vomit his cheese,

everything will stay the same till

we're old and lonely and grey.

Now, haven't you got a

video to deliver, brother?

Sweetheart.

I know you're upset.

But it hasn't been a total washout.

It was going to be a wedding present...

Jim, this is not the time.

Congratulations, Senator.

- Wha...

- I'm retiring, sweetheart.

And I'm giving my seat to you.

(Tom whispers):
Bigger one.

The party's all behind it and

if Eddie Marshall gives the OK,

you'll be running on

your own next election.

How could you?

TOM:
Big one.

GRAHAM:
Bigger one.

(Glass shatters) Oh!

DAVID:
Mia?

Mia?

I'm so sorry for what happened today.

More than you can imagine.

But I'm not sorry I met you,

I'm not sorry I love you,

I'm not sorry I married you.

What is it about it's over

you don't understand, Dave?

My name's David, not Dave and

I'm talking to Mia so shut up!

Leave him, Jim.

Please, Mia.

Just press play?

Mia, give me the phone.

- Jim, for God's sake, shut up!

- Shut up!

They told me nobody was here.

And I guess that's why I came.

I was lost and I needed

time to figure it out

and suddenly, there you were.

On the same beach looking

for the same thing.

This little beach

is where my life began.

My parents left me a trust.

Just enough to put down a deposit.

It's ours, Mia.

It's not England or Australia.

Ours.

I know we've only just met

but I know that we belong together.

I love you.

So, let's start here and figure

out the next part together.

That's it.

Everything I've got and it's yours.

I could buy you a better beach

in Noosa!

Dad, stop.

But he's just a backpacker!

You were a hitchhiker when I met you!

It's not about the beach... or luck.

It's destiny and I love him.

Run, Mia, run!

Jim, let go.

She's really fallen for him. (Laughs)

BARBARA:
Oh...

MIA:
David!

Darling, you may have lost a senator

but you've gained a

beautiful daughter. Hic!

- And a beautiful son.

- Ow.

Oh, Mickey, you're so fine

You're so fine you

blow my mind Hey, Mickey

Hey, Mickey, hey, Mickey,

Mickey, Mickey, Mickey...

(Sobs)

- What happened to your arm?

- Oh, this?

Oh, yeah, I just sort of got... shot.

- Shot?

- Yeah.

It's OK, though, it's just...

a little bit of flesh wound.

Ah! Ah!

When you take me by the

hooves, who's ever gonna know

And every time you move,

I let a little more show

There's somethin' we can

use so don't say no, Mickey

So come on give it to me

any way you can

Any way you want to,

I'll take it like a man

Oh, please, baby, please,

don't leave me in the damn...

Sarah? Yeah, listen, it's me.

No, don't hang up.

It's the last time I'm

gonna call you, I swear.

Just have one teeny, tiny question

I've been wanting to ask.

TOM:
Sorry I almost

f***ed up your wedding.

DAVID:
My wedding?

How about my life?

Well, that's your job, right?

That's what big brothers do.

I'm impressed, man.

You've backed a real winner.

She's perfect.

Wait, did you just say you were wrong?

No, I just said I was sorry and

you'll be really f***ing sorry

if that island is too

small for my surfboard.

Now, come here, man.

Respect.

You did it. First out of the gate.

F*** knows,

it gives me hope for Graham.

Guys, I pulled her. I pulled a lesbian.

- Oh, I don't believe it.

- Guys! He's got a penis!

Congratulations, man.

- Oh, great, he's got a penis.

- Whoa...

(Distant screaming)

- And a massive phone bill.

Luke?

LUKE:
Help!

GRAHAM:
Oh, sh*t.

OLIVIA NEWTON-JOHN: I

confess my heart's in a mess

I lost my way and need you to say

I can tell you I love you

whenever you need reminding

And be where you go when you

think there'll be no silver lining

When you need my understanding

I've given you all that I can give

And when I'm a fool

I'm hoping that you'll forgive

I confess my heart's in a mess

But you can untangle it

I lost my way and need you to say

Say you'll untangle it

If you show me I'm a keeper

If you lift me up and love me deeper

I'm no angel but I promise you this

I'm gonna be weightless

I will make you all mine I'm

not giving up for a minute

But love can be lonely if

you are the only one in it

I believe

That any moment you could

be standing at my door

Don't make it too late

I don't want to wait no more

I confess my heart's in a mess

But you can untangle it

I'm on my knees

and begging you please

To say you'll untangle it

If you show me I'm a keeper

If you lift me up and love me deeper

I'm no angel but I promise you this

I'm gonna be weightless

Weightless

Weightless

Oh, if you show me I'm a keeper

If you lift me up and love me deeper

I'm no angel but I promise you this

I'm gonna be weightless

I confess my heart's in a mess

You can untangle it

I lost my way, I need you to say

Say you'll untangle it

I confess my heart's in a mess

You can untangle it

On my knees I'm

begging you, please

Baby untangle it

I'm gonna be weight...

I'm gonna be weight...

Less.
