to wander in the reharsal?

Sorry, I just..

This is a private work space.

Not f***ing movie on a Saturday morning.

I wouldn't have a problem with the guy,

if he was a good director..

But he's just such a f***ing wanker, you know?

If he was a good director,

he wouldn't need to throw his wait around.

Yeah.

- Hey, dad's offering me a production down in Sidney.

- Oh yeah?

Yeah, the George Gershman story

with second years.

You should take it.

I have to be away for at least a month.

- So?

- What about Lil?

She'll be fine. She wouldn't want you to miss

an opportunity because of her.

You think?

Absolutely.

Thank you.

can I do that again?

Why? It was very good.

I can do it better.

Hello?

Hi, darling.

No, it's fine.

We were just about to eat, but Roz's come here.

So, how's it all going?

Yeah?

Rehearsals are going well?

Yeah.

The girl playing Roxie is very very good.

She's a really strong performer and..

Seems like she's got quite of potential.

And you're happy?

Yeah, I'm very comfortable.

It's been great to get to know

dad's new family and..

He seems very settled.

That's great.

If you guys are about to eat dinner..

Maybe I should call you back.

In an hour or two?

Okay.

Give my love to the others.

And to you.

Love you.

He seems very taken with the girl playing Roxie.

Lil, come on.

I'm sure she's very taken with him too.

If he was taken with her,

I don't think he would've mentioned her.

- Right?

- Exactly.

No.

He thinks she's going to be a big star.

There's no where near because..

This big bat.. Was into a..

- You want a drink?

- Love one.

Here.

Thanks.

Can I ask you a personal question?

Yeah, what?

Are you gay?

I'm afraid not.

I heard really good reports coming out

of the reharsal room.

Happy to hear it.

Look at you, Dad.

So everything worked out for the best.

Everything just works out the way it's gonna..

We just plot along behind it and

try and keep up.

You're not still angry with mom, are you?

God no, no..

You know?

Soon enough I won't let you see me like this.

I don't you to even think about getting old.

That'll happen whether

I think about it or not.

No.

I won't let it.

You can't stop it, Ian.

It's going to happen.

Please.

Okay, I won't get old.

Will that do you?

Yeah.

You're crazy.

You are crazy.

Come on, it's not me.

I'm not.

Yeah..

I really think we should go home.

I think we should hit the road.

No way, come one.

One more, one more for the road.

COme on, please..

Alright, I'll get them.

No, I'll get them.

My shot, my idea.

Get out of the way,

I'm driving.

- Guess what? I'm not. Tequila for you?

- No.

I've never seen her like this.

She's panicking.

Hi, could I get a 2 gin and tonics

and a beer?

And a tequila shot please?

I'll pay for those, mate.

What?

What's your name?

- I'm Lil.

- Hi Lil.

- Thanks.

- I'm Richard.

Hi.. Nice to meet you.

- Well, what do you know? Chivalry's not dead.

- I'm so proud of it.

You need a hand?

No, I'm okay.

This..

Lovely gentleman seems to want to buy us the drinks.

- That's alright.

- Who are you?

I'm her son.

Thanks.

Well, no harm done, sonny.

You better run along now.

That's what you called a buzzkill.

I assure you, I had him when I was 3.

Hey, what's the matter?

Nothing, I was having fun.

I don't know why you had to go and

stick your beating, he was a good bloke.

Mom.

- Bye.

- I'll see you.

Bye.

At some point, I gotta learn

to live my own life.

2 days, mom.

- He's back in 2 days.

- I know.

Are you coming in?

Just for a few minutes.

Roz's expecting you?

I think so.

Come on.

Don't let me keep you, darling.

I'll stay as long as you like.

Everything's gonna be fine,

I promise.

Very nice.

Are you hungry? Ready for yum-yums?

I don't see why you have to rush off

in such a hurry.

Stick around for a few days and

enjoy your triumph.

Stay for the weekend, at least.

No, I've got to get back.

You got a girl waiting, is that it?

Not a girl.

Just some stuff I gotta do.

I'm coming up to you 21st.

If I'm still working up there, that is.

Don't be stupid.

I'll wired the set.

Cater the door,

all that stuff.

What are you reckon, Dad?

Is the door worth opening?

It's gonna open anyway, so you might as well

walk through there with a big smile on your face.

God, you're beautiful.

So do you want to do another musical?

I rather do a play next.

Something contemporary.

Sounds like a good idea.

But the fact of the matter is,

for the next few years..

I just have to take whatever

I get offered.

I don't really have a choice.

I'll get it.

Hello?

Hi.

Yeah, of course I was expecting you.

Yeah, I'm good.

Yeah.

What happened?

Hi! Harold.

Where are you going?

Roz.

- Hi.

- Hi.

This is Mary.

- Hi.

- Hi.

I'm Roz.

- Welcome.

- Thanks.

Her baby was teething, greaseling along,

Molly thought she'd stay behind..

And I thought I'd bring the birthday boy a nice surprise.

Nothing like a nice surprise.

It's great.

- Cheers.

- Cheers, darling.

Mary. This is Lil and Ian.

Hi, I've heard so much about you.

I wish I could say the same

but Tom's a bit of a secret bugger.

Would you like to dance?

Sure, thanks.

Happy birthday.

Thanks, man.

Come on, Harold.

- Come, indulge me.

- No, Roz.

- Come on.

- Please..

She's staying in a hotel.

I could drop her home

and then come by.

If you want.

I don't think that's such a good idea.

coming in?

I don't know.

Don't you want your extra special birthday present?

Yeah, of course.

I think this is what we've been dreading, Lil.

We have to bow out.

Lil..

I don't know if I could bear it.

I know.

We have to.

I have to, you don't.

Ian doesn't have a girlfriend.

I know, but he should have.

Shouldn't he?

Yeah.

I supposed he should.

We have to stand together.

Okay?

- Yeah.

- And put an end to it.

Yeah.

We just have to.

I know we do.

I don't see why what Tom gets up to

has anything to do with us.

- I'm not getting married.

- Who says I'm getting married?

Then, I'm not doing whatever it is you're doing.

F***ing someone else, I'm not doing that.

I have no intention of doing that. Ian, that's enough.

It doesn't matter.

This has gone on long enough.

Why can't you leave things as they are?

It's all going to be fine.

We're going to be respectable..

Pillars of the community from here on end.

And we'll be model mothers-in-laws..

And before you know it,

we'll be the perfect grandmothers.

I will never forgive you for this.

I'm so sorry.

No, darling.

It's going to happen soon or later.

And responsibly and joyfully..

In mutual respect

and the promise to be faithful..

Come together in the presence of God..

To witness the marriage of Tom and Marry.

And to ask God's blessing on them

as we shared their joy.

Marriage is a gift from God, our creator.

It is a symbol of God's unending love for his people..

and of the union between Christ and His church.

Christ loved his bride, the church.
