Griff the Invisible
Sh*t!
Night mode.
Ugh!
Yah!
Get out of my neighbourhood.
Hello, I need to speak
to the police, please.
Shipping. Griff speaking.
Whoa.
Griff.
There you go.
How's lunch? Oh, sorry. Sorry.
What did you have?
A sandwich.
What was in the sandwich?
Cheese. Egg.
Mayonnaise.
Aw. Love mayonnaise.
Was it whole-egg?
Um, yeah. I think so. I don't know.
It's for Gary. Tax time!
categories, dates and then added up.
I know. Sorry!
The short straw.
Uh!
Hey, hey, hey, hey.
Hey...
Don't fight it, Griff.
Just wanna...
S-Stop it!
"Just stop it!" Hm-hm!
Griff.
How'd you go?
All done.
Great. Just...
They weren't really
for Gary, were they?
Uh, no.
Help!
Stay out of my neighbourhood.
It's OK. You're safe.
Go away. I got Mace!
"It's OK. You're safe. "
"You're safe now. "
"Never fear. "
"Griff, the Protector, is here. "
Griff the...
Hidden!
Hup!
Who is it?
It's Tim, Griff.
For a minute,
I thought it was you.
It better not be, Griff.
Because I moved back here for you
and you promised me
that you'd stopped.
It's not. I promise.
It better not be.
It's not.
Better not be.
How's work, anyway?
It's... really good.
Good. It's good you have that job.
Yep.
Keeps you out of trouble.
It does.
Good. Well.
Oh, um, you know how before
I said I was in the neighbourhood?
Well, the reason is because
I was on a date.
Her name is Melody.
Melody. Like music.
Yes, it is like... It's like music.
Anyway, I think she could be it.
Melly? Are you back already?
Mm-hm.
Did you bump your head again?
Mm-hm.
Clumsy.
So! How was the date?
He is adorable!
Yeah, he's lovely.
Oh, he's very right for you, Mel!
Well done!
Tim and Melody. Mel and...
OK, Mum, look, we've been
on one date, OK?
Just figuring out if I like him.
Hmm!
Have there been
any, um... you know...
...intimacies?
Goodnight, Mum.
Goodnight, darling.
Sorry, Tim.
I made a promise...
...to rid this city of evil...
...in the name of justice.
It's not a choice.
It's a responsibility.
No problem, sir.
Call again if it hasn't turned up.
Bye-bye.
...twice your age.
Oh, like you can talk.
So, Tammy's out of town tonight.
Do you want to come over?
I don't know, Tony.
How are you, Cecilia?
Settling in OK?
Everything's great.
I really love it.
Don't enjoy it too much. It's still work!
Ahem. Shipping. Griff speaking.
It's Tony.
Oh. Hi, Tony.
Just wondering what
you're doing for lunch.
Why?
I'm going to this little
Chinese restaurant
and they do great pork balls.
I know that you love balls.
No. Thanks.
Hey! Here it is.
I really... really like you.
A lot.
And I love balls too.
We're two ball lovers.
State championships.
I got three perfect 10s.
But even then,
Heather 'Twinkletoes' won.
Well, you look like a champ to me.
We met at a Chinese restaurant.
I was paying for the bill
for my table and it was $19.
And we'd all had a banquet!
$19?! What?!
Oh, dear.
And I said to myself, "Mmm,
that's pretty good value!"
Melody!
Aw! It's not so bad.
I'm OK.
Ugh!
Oh, anyway, uh...
And she was looking
at HER bill. And...
How much was it, Mel?
Mel?
$218!
Why were you
eating alone, Melly?
She does funny things!
Oh, she's fine though. Ha ha!
Yes, sir. There definitely seems to
be more activity in recent weeks.
The press
What do you think?
Crime wave? I'm not sure, sir.
...running out of men.
Uh, yes, Commissioner.
Promise me you will help.
Yes, sir, I will.
Thank you, sir.
Who is it?
It's Tim, Griff. Who else?
No, no! No!
Griff. This is, uh, Melody.
Hello.
My new girlfriend.
I didn't say that would be OK, Tim.
No, I know. But...
I'm sorry. She really
wanted to meet you.
WANTS to meet you.
Don't you?
Should we go?
No, no, no. Ha.
OK!
so you could actually meet her
instead of me just talking
about her all the time.
I got Griff his new job.
Uh-huh.
Through a friend. Platonic.
Female platonic friend.
Good.
Yeah, got bullied
at the last job. Didn't ya?
Just like at school. Always bullied
at school. Lucky I was there.
Won't happen anymore, though.
Right, Griff?
Is that your cat downstairs, Griff?
I don't have time for a cat.
Or a dog.
You know they reckon
cats can see spirits?
Did you know that?
I don't think they're spirits.
I don't think that ghosts exist.
I think they are real people
but in parallel places.
nine parallel universes
and cats live in
all of them at once.
That's why they can see everyone.
But we only live in one at a time
and then when we die,
we branch off
into this other parallel existence
where we DIDN'T die.
And meanwhile, where we DID die,
everyone is sad and going,
"Oh, no. She died. "
From, you know, whatever
happened to you -
accident or cancer.
So, they're here now?
I... DON'T think so!
What's under
the sheet, Griff?
It's just a mannequin,
I think, babe.
Oh!
Are you OK, love?
- Are you OK?
- It's OK. I got it.
Didn't hurt yourself?
No. I'm fine.
Oh, good!
Stupid chair!
Anyhoo! We better goo!
Hey, we should all have
dinner next week.
Get you out of the house.
Shame Melody doesn't have a sister.
DO you have a sister?
No.
Sorry, mate. Oops! Sorry!
Freddy.
Oh, there he is!
Gary! Griff's here.
Call off the search party, everyone.
Where have you BEEN?
We've been worried SICK.
Yarrr!
No! Aargh!
Sorry, Gary.
Hi, Griff.
How's your brother?
S-same.
That's good.
Has, um... has he got a girlfriend?
Yep.
Ah!
Griff.
Hmm?
Can you pop in for a word?
Do you want to tell me
what's going on?
It's nothing, Gary. Sorry.
Doesn't look like nothing.
Are you on drugs?
What? No.
Girl trouble?
Do you owe someone money?
No, it's nothing like that, Gary.
Sorry.
What happened, Griff?
You started out so strong.
I know.
You've dropped the ball.
Have you dropped the ball?
No, I haven't.
Know what I think?
You're making yourself a target.
I think you're making yourself
MORE visible
when you should be
trying to be INvisible.
How? How do you mean?
Well, Griff.
I see how people look at you.
And... Well, this is hard to say.
But when you hide
and you don't interact,
well, you come across a bit odd.
Invisible.
People notice you
even more, ironically.
You gotta chat to people. Like I do.
I mean, I'm a bit odd too.
But I just go around...
I'm chatting to people all the time.
And the amazing thing is
after a while of acting normal,
you BECOME normal.
It's like an accent. I mean...
If I was
to start talking
in an American accent all the time,
I'd become an American - right?
Just don't give that goose... fuel.
The only way to make him back off
is to beat him at his own game.
Act normal!
And then you can
get on with becoming
the best client liaison we've got.
And you could be.
Yes!
Invisible Man.
Hello, Griff.
Doing some painting?
Of course. Sorry.
So, that it?
Do you know anything
about... invisible ink?
