I got a suggestion.

What?

Tell him to go f*** himself.

Supposed he doesn't know how.

Love this song.

Yeah.

That's the worst dancing

I've ever seen.

Can you dance?

I'm gonna slip away.

I think Tom's had a little bit

too much to drink.

Really?

Is he misbehaving?

No, he's fine.

But Ian's gonna stay over and

make sure he's alright.

Okay.

See you tomorrow.

Where's Tom?

Throwing up, I reckon.

Are you alright, mate?

Yeah, I'm fine.

- Need a hand?

- No, I'm alright.

Come on.

I said I'm alright.

that's fine.

Alright.

- I'll tuck you in.

- No f***ing way.

Careful, careful.

Slow down.

- You're alright?

- Yeah.

Yeah?

It's alright,

we're good.

You have everything you need?

No.

Hi.

Hi.

I don't think he's here.

I didn't come to see Ian.

Oh.

You better come in.

I don't really wanna go to Sidney.

But Dad seems to have it all worked out.

I just don't..

Really see how I can get out of it.

Do you want to get out of it?

I don't really want to live here.

- No.

- No.

God no..

We'd really miss you.

And I'd miss you.

Tom!

Christ!

I'm sorry.

You really shouldn't have done that.

I know.

I mean, supposed Ian had walked in or..

Is that all you're worried about?

No, I.. I just..

Ian's otherways engaged..

What does that mean?

Means last night I went out to the kitchen for a drink and..

Caught my mother coming out of his bedroom.

- What?

- With her jeans in her hand.

It's not funny, Tom.

It's impossible.

She's known him since he was a baby.

They're probably been thinking about it

for quite a while.

Wouldn't you say?

- Are you coming?

- Not today.

- Are you alright?

- Fine.

You again.

Afraid so.

I don't really want to go back there tonight.

Can I please stay here?

Yeah.

Yes, of course.

Hi. Where have you been?

At Lil's.

Doing to her what Ian's been doing to you.

We'll finished this later, okay?

I don't know, Lil what have we done?

Crossed the line.

It can't happen again.

No, no I supposed it can't.

No, of course it can't.

It's Roz who wants to stop.

She came to see me.

What did she say?

It doesn't matter, does it darling?

It's just obvious.

The whole thing is unacceptable.

I love her.

It's over, Ian.

no.

Please, don't.

You have to leave.

You have to leave.

How are you feeling?

Good.

Yeah..

Me too.

Yeah.

In fact, I..

I can't remember being this happy.

I know.

It's scary.

Very.

I don't want to stop.

I don't see why we have to.

I'm sure they'll get bored

of us soon enough.

Bound to.

Hey!

You're alright?

It's a long drive, but..

I got you an interview..

You'll be going down next week.

Great.

You've changed.

What?

What is it?

You got a girlfriend or something?

Something like that.

So, how're things in Sidney?

Yeah, it was alright.

And the Uni?

You like it?

Yeah, nice people.

I'm gonna miss that view..

The place is big..

It's very central,

lots of space.

You have a photograph?

Sure, I got plenty of them

in the laptop.

Let's see them.

I think this is what I'll miss the most.

The sound of it.

Sound of the sea.

Thanks a lot.

I mean apart from the personal things,

obviously.

What's the matter, darling?

What's the matter?

Are you worried about the move?

Well, yeah.

Is it because Tom's new girlfriend?

How do you know Tom has a new girlfriend?

He just about admitted that much to me..

But it's not really the place to live by his education.

He's got a place right in front of him,

one of the finest drama faculty in the country.

Yeah, he knows that.

What is it then?

I've got this fantastic new job..

You don't side by me,

and I feel like an abandon ship.

Harold, we don't feel that at all.

You may not, but I do.

The house you found is great, Harold.

It's not that.

I don't think we're gonna be able

to come and live in it.

Why not?

What's the problem?

Tom and I had a long talk the other day and..

Neither of us..

Can bear to leave here,

not for now.

You made your mindup?

Yeah.

It's got something to do with Lil, huh?

No, it's not of the reasons you think, Harold..

I can't even explain it,

it's just I..

Boils down to one simple fact,

is that we can't imagine living anywhere else.

I don't understand.

No, I'm not sure I do.

If this f***ing house means more to you

than I do..

Harold..

I'm sorry.

I really..

I really am.

I gotta get rid of Saul.

He keeps hanging around.

He might catch us out,

or something.

He just need to see us all together,

out and about.

Ever so often,

that's all it takes.

Yeah.

I wonder why his wife left him.

It's never a good sign, is it?

I'll f***ing kill you!

Oh my god.

Roz! They're trying to kill each other!

You're f***ing coward.

I'm not..

You're out of the line.

Come on.

Hi Saul.

Are you alright?

Just got caught on the rocks.

It looks nasty,

you might want a tetanus shot.

That's alright, we'll just put some anticeptic on it.

It'll be fine.

We'll see you, Saul.

Where are you going?

To your room.

Ian!

Consider it yours.

Lil.

Hi.

- Hi, Saul.

- What are you doing?

Roz.

Harold's not with you?

No, he's back in Sidney.

Didn't stay long.

Had to get back to work.

This isn't exactly what I had in mind.

I wasn't expecting to see you here, Roz.

Oo..

If you'd rather be alone that's fine.

No.. No..

- Tea?

- No, I'm fine.

Anyway, I can say what I want to say

in front of Roz.

Lil, I think you know how I feel about you.

I'm in love with you.

I've been in love with you for a while.

And I just thought this might be the moment

where we could discuss our relationship.

I know this is the last thing in the world

you want to hear, so..

But I don't think it's going to work..

I'm asking Lil.

But she's already told you.

I think you're gonna have to take no

for an answer.

Yeah Roz, but I want to hear it from Lil.

Don't you think it'd be better

for the bloke?

I mean both of you.

Two beautiful women like you.

My god.

You must think I'm a f***ing idiot.

So that's it.

I don't know what you're talking about.

I must have given you

a really big laugh.

I'm so sorry.

Saul..

Oh my god..

Did you just figure that out?

You need to be quicker on the line.

- He's gonna tell everyone.

- It's okay, it's probably for the best.

Bastard..

You're going in!

I know that, I don't care if having them made in China

is gonna save us 60%.

Alright.

Alright.

We're gonna have to decide in the next week or two.

Okay, I'll think about it.

I'll talk to you again

on Monday.

You're alright if I take off now?

I promised to pick up Tom.

Fine.

- See you in the morning, Mr. Weston.

- Bye.

Mother, did you not say to me a little while ago..

That there was nothing in the world

that you would not do for me, if I asked you.

Indeed I did so.

And you'll stick to it, mother?

You may rely on it, my dear and only boy.

I have nothing in the world,

but only you to live along..

Very well.

And I shall hear..

Mother you have a strong and sted-fast mind,

in know.

But now..

Did I say you could invite your mate
