- I'm gonna win!

- No-o..

This one's on me, well..

Look at the dolphins.

Mr. Weston lived a life..

Was of great benefit to his community

and to his family.

And our hearts go out to Lil and Ian

at this time.

It turn out?

Yeah, well you know..

You give the people what they want..

I'm sorry but you know what?

I just never really got the point of that.

Well, I can't said that it was

a huge surprise..

Or I wouldn't take a drive with him

anywhere if I could avoid it.

He thought speed limits are for cowards.

The boys are taking it very hard.

Are you okay?

Yeah.

Darling..

- Hey.

- Hey.

Where's mom?

With Lil.

I think you should take Ian down the beach.

Come on Ian,

do you want to go down to the beach?

Let's go.

Let's get our stuff.

Hey, you want to catch some blue crabs?

Yeah, sure.

God, Lil look at that..

Did we do that?

We must have been.

We certainly did.

They're beautiful.

They're like young gods.

Amazing.

Yeah.

We did alright.

You had a good day?

Right.

Are you hungry?

Starving.

Ravished.

We'll be there.

What is that?

I look like an angry boy.

With that chin.

That's horrible.

Oh yeah that one, yeah..

I'm pretty happy with that.

Yeah, it's nice but not in the same league.

- Really? As those two?

- Yeah.

- No way.

- Right?

There's something about them.

- I don't know.

- It's like sort of an unearthly aura.

What's that?

They're looking at pictures of themselves

as nimfits..

They're admiring their own beauty.

Let's have a look.

- Hey!

- Give it back!

- Hold on.

- Wow, wow..

Come one, give us a break.

It was a long time ago.

Time flies, doesn't it? I'll tell you though..

We may have been prettier then, but..

- I think we have much more character now.

- Yeah. You know what?

- She might be right.

- Yeah, that's..

That's true.

Well..

Here's to our mothers.

Thank you, my darling.

- Come on, Tom. Give me a hand.

- Okay.

Are you alright?

Yeah, I'm fine mom.

Dinner's ready.

Remember that time when you had b*obs

and I didn't? And I was..

Well, you soon made up for it.

It never stopped the boys from buzzing around you, did it?

Yeah, but the boring jocks you never had

anything to say.

You had the interesting guys,

with long hair..

They wrote poetry and smoked the old..

Mine were just dull.

They still are, aren't they?

The good Saul.

Come on, he's not so much dull as..

He's just.. Persistent.

I want to know more about your b*obs.

Well, it was quite serious and..

But Roz, she was very very comforting.

She used to say..

Don't worry, pop this in your bra

and they'll be coming along soon.

And so they were.

Right Tom,

I think that's enough on this topic.

I don't think it's entirely exhausted.

One queen.

And the king.

- Ace.

- Cheat.

It's your face.

It's always your face.

I don't want to play anymore, I don't like it now.

- Hey.

- Hi.

- You're very late.

- It was a big day.

- In what way?

- I'll explain later.

If you're hungry,

we ate all of yours.

- Nah, there's plenty more in the kitchen.

- Now Roz..

My turn to shuffle.

I'm done.

Taking off.

Mom.

Early start.

Are you coming?

Well..

We're gonna watch a movie.

Alright.

I'll see you guys tomorrow.

Alright.

Good night.

Thanks boys for cleaning up.

Very nice..

- No worries.

- No worries.

Well?

I've been offered a job.

What?

Singing lecturer and drama

at Sidney University.

Sidney?

It's a great department.

It's quite a salary hike.

- Wow.

- Right?

Sounds like you want to take it.

Yeah, well..

Yes, I do.

Of course I do.

Yes.

And..

How would that work?

Would you fly back on the weekends?

No, I thought you and Tom

would come with me..

You mean move?

Move from here?

Yeah, I know it's not gonna be easy.

No.

Darling, opportunities like these certainly

don't come alnmg very often.

You must have applied for this job, Harold.

Yeah.

You never discussed it with me.

I didn't think I was gonna get it.

Not in a million years.

Roz?

Yeah?

Are you okay?

Should I close the door?

No.

Lil!

Hi, Saul.

- Oh Roz hi.

- Hi Saul.

Didn't see you there.

How are you?

What can I do for you?

Well, I took the liberty of organizing

a little surprise.

A celebration dinner tonight

at The Japanese.

Celebrating what?

My birthday.

Happy birthday, Saul.

Yeah, happy birthday.

But I can't tonight,

cause..

We've got the book club.

Really?

You couldn't skip it just once?

I wish I could.

I'm doing the food.

Oh, I see.

Maybe another night.

Yeah, another night.

- I'll give you a bell.

- Great.

Bye.

Book club?

You are really good liar.

Really good.

Okay, let's deal with it

one at a time.

You could get someone to manage the gallery..

Or you could open a similar place

down in Sidney.

It's not as simple as that, Harold.

Yeah, agreed but for Tom?

And what he wants to do..

This isn't the place.

He's bound to take some

time to organized, you know?

Yeah.

But..

The point is that I need a wife..

Permanent wife.

You've got one, Harold.

I'm up for 20 years now, you know.

I do.

It's just I don't get to see you much lately.

And when I do,

it's like you're on loan.

What?

I think it's Lil you don't want to leave.

Are you saying we're lesbians?

No, not that it'd make any difference.

You're just mad.

Of course I'm gonna come with you,

what do you think..

I just need time to get used to the idea,

that's all.

I don't know what he's talking about.

He says my real relationship is isn't with him.

It's with you.

How can he think that?

I know..

We make him feel excluded.

Oh my god, that's how I always felt.

Even when Theo was alived,

with his..

Business trips and his girlfriends ringing the house

and his mood..

You don't know how much I used to envy you guys.

He always seems so content.

Well, we were.

He's not saying we're lezos.

Not exactly.

Oh!

My hat!

Go on!

We're not lezos!

Are we?

I don't think so.

Not as far as I remember.

We're just best friends.

That's right.

Right.

I do remember that..

Time that you..

Well, it was..

Remember? That kiss?

Oh my God..

- But we had to practice on someone.

- Right.

Does it make us..

No..

- Bloody men!

- bloody men..

You'll see, it's a much better director's program

down there.

I mean not to mention the standard of teaching,

once you get going.

That goes without saying.

- Alright.

- Alright.

- Look after her.

- Will do.

Don't try and be macho and

drive too many hours of that, rest okay?

I'm gonna miss you.

It's only a couple of weeks.

I didn't know you were out here.

Hey.

Mind if I join you?

Of course not.

Give us a drag.

You can have a whole one

if you promised to behave yourself.

A drag will do.

I didn't know you smoke.

I don't, I gave up years ago.

Now I feel really simple.

Nothing wrong with that.

How are you?

Fine.

You know, you're right.

You might have to said yes,

he's a well set out bloke..

No, it doesn't mean I have to go out with him.

Can't he take a hint?

Evidently not.
