Cut Snake Page #2

Some ice for the young man!

We had a plan, eh!

I told you, I'm clean now.

No!

We had a plan!

All right?

And it was you and me,

not you, and me, and her,

and a f***ing house, and

your f***ing broomsticks!

Count me out now.

No!

You made me a promise!

It was another life.

Eh?

What are you doing?

Get out of my way, princess!

Hey!

Hey.

Is he OK?

Yeah, yeah.

He's fine.

Well, where is he?

Just stay.

Just stay.

Here.

What have you done?

I've only got about 30 seconds.

Come on!

Hey, missus.

We're all right to push off?

Hey, Pom's not

feeling very well,

do you mind if we head off?

Come on.

But what about Yvonne?

Please?

Please?

OK.

Bye, then.

What the

f*** did you do?

What's it look like?

Are you insane?

They know Yvonne.

Did you forget how easy it is?

Beats making broomsticks.

I want you gone.

No, you don't.

Yeah, I do.

I'm not coming back

inside for your sh*t.

Go, or I'll make you.

You can try, young Sparra.

Oh, sorry.

Just seeing if you had

everything you needed.

Yeah.

You're right.

Mind that , missus.

Yeah.

Thanks.

Thanks!

What's going on, Merv?

You never mentioned

him before tonight,

suddenly he's in our house,

he's sleeping five feet away

from us.

Who is he?

Pommie thinks we're a lot

closer than we actually are.

There's nothing more to know.

Yeah, there never is.

Oh, come on!

No, it's true, Merv.

You never talk about anything.

Your friends, your

family, nothing.

OK.

Like right now.

Just leave it, all right?

Paula!

Sh*t head!

Hey!

Hey!

I'm going for a quick

beer, you up for it?

Oh, I've got to

sort something out.

Right.

I'll see you after lunch then.

Ben around?

Beer garden.

You Ben?

Don't need a broom, mate.

He was rude, don't you think?

Well, Merv said he was

having a rough nice.

No excuse.

I thought he was supposed

to be a gentleman.

You took him to see

drag queens, Yvonne.

If they can't cope

with my world- ...

Actually, do you mind if I

pop home, see how he's going?

Run along.

I can finish up.

Thank you.

Tell me if he talks

about me, will you?

Wolf Bailey reckons

you're a good bloke.

Says you might be able a man

acquire a hard to come by item.

Don't know him.

You heard of a wolf?

I know a few dogs.

So can you help me?

No.

Oh, f*** it.

Put that f***ing

thing down, man.

Upfront.

Shouldn't have.

Yeah.

You know what they about

the devil and idle hands.

Uh... I didn't know

where that lived.

I've never seen it before.

Hey.

It's very kind of you.

Ah, I just think it

was an.

So how'd you two meet, anyway?

I was visiting my

cousin in Sydney.

She was the one

having the party.

And Merv was there

and we just clicked.

Talked all night.

I mean, I did most

of the talking.

He doesn't talk much, does he?

Anyway, I was coming back here

the next day, so I thought...

You thought?

I thought nothing more of it.

And a week later I

got a call from Merv

asking me if I wanted to go out.

Sneaky bugger.

So he jumped a train

from Sydney to Melbourne

to take you out for a pizza, eh?

Sounds like you two got

something real special.

OK.

My turn.

What happened last

night between you two?

Come on, Paula.

He's a mate.

And I'm his fiancee.

Then he should tell you.

Well, he should.

And it's unfair of

me to ask you, but...

You're just not going

to give it up, are you?

No.

You know, I really am

starting to like you.

Right.

When Merv was young, he

got into a bit of trouble.

He got in with the wrong crowd.

He did a bit of time.

Prison?

Yeah.

And that's how you met?

Yeah.

What did he do?

Ah.

Not much, you know.

He nicked a car,

got into a fight.

I can't even remember.

Anyway, last night, I

told him to come clean.

You're getting married,

you deserve to know.

You're spending the rest

of your live with him.

You all right'?

Don't know.

Come here.

Sorry.

I probably shouldn't

have told you, huh?

No, I-I asked you, so-

What's the hurry?

Uh, need to get home.

I'll catch you tomorrow?

Yeah.

See you tomorrow.

Sh*t.

Hey.

We're going on a picnic.

Got your medicine, mate.

I'm not really in the mood.

Get in you big sook.

Come on.

Hey.

You know there's nothing

you can't tell me.

What does that mean?

I just don't want us

to have any secrets.

Merv?

I'm serious.

I love you.

I love you, too.

Pommie!

What are you doing?

Getting some more beers.

Come on.

What'd you say to her?

Did we

leave the lights on'?

No.

Oh, sh*t.

What's happened?

Meme'?

Just wait here a

minute, all right?

They're gone, whoever they were.

Who would do this?

I'll go out and see if

anyone's hanging around.

It'll be all right.

F*** me.

Didn't think they'd

come back at us.

You robbed their club,

what do you expect?

Eh?

F***!

All right, then.

Let's go and fix it then.

What do you mean?

Well, what are you going to do?

Call the cops?

Oh, f*** you.

You caused this, you fix it!

Hang on a minute there, mate.

You know these blokes.

You've known them all your life.

There's only one way

to deal with them.

And if you don't,

they'll have you.

You remember what that feels

like, don't you, young Sparra?

Your pretty little

Paula in there'?

She won't be safe in that house.

She won't be safe in

that f***ing town.

And you know I'm

right, don't you.

They're coming.

They haven't taken

anything, they

just... I'm calling the police.

No, no, no.

Why not?

Can we just talk inside

for a sec, please?

We can't call the police.

Tell me why.

Just say it!

Because you were in prison.

I've done my time.

How much time?

Four years.

Four years?

What did you do?

Me and a mate got into a fight.

We both got hurt.

It was an accident.

Why didn't you tell me?

Knock, knock.

I'm sorry, Paula.

This is all my fault.

I reckon the guy

that did this, me and him

shared a few harsh words

the other night.

Wayne.

Yvonne's friend.

That's how they knew

how to come here.

Wayne?

I reckon he was

jealous, or something.

I could have handled it better.

Anyway, I should go get on

and eat a piece of humble pie.

And then we'll get back

and we'll fix this up.

Good as new.

Wait, why do you have to go?

I'll probably start

cause more trouble.

We Won't do anything stupid.

No.

Take me to Yvonne's.

Oi.

Give me the keys.

Why?

Just give me the f***ing keys.

What are you doing?

You want to fix this, or not?

Come on.

That way.

Wayne?

Remember me?

F*** off!

Hey, now.

I thought we already

had that discussion

about our manners, mate.

You blokes, go to Sydney!

We're protected.

Hey!

Hey!

You're making a big mistake!

Come here!

We're square now, yeah?

Yeah.

Yeah.

It's done?

Yeah.

What?

Is that it?

No, no.

I f***ing knew it!

Wayne!

Wayne!

What are you guys doing here?

Where's Bruce?

Pom...

Brucie's not here.

Pommie, don't.

Come on, Sparra.

Come on.

Hey.

Listen, man, I know.

Come here, come on.

No.

Come here.

Where are you going?

Come here!

This isn't me anymore!

Yes, it is!
