This prick's been
eyeballing me.

MAN:
Either he's threatenedor he's turned on.
Oi, love.
Your friends are poofters!
Yeah, I worked that out.
I'm a dyke, you deadshit.
(Laughter)

(Shouting and screaming)
MAN:

WOMAN:
My dad wouldcome home after work
and he would look at me

He would look at me like there
Relax, I'm a nurse. At least,
I will be when I graduate.
We should go back,
trash the place.
Settle down, Tim.
MAN:

on the footy field, Peter.
JOHN:

TIM:
OK, but would youallow me to?
Who with?
Well, maybe just once.
Would you let me try it once,
see how it goes?
I don't know
why you'd want to.
There are things
our generation
are supposed to be
experiencing
and I don't believe it's fair
to expect our lovers
to fulfil all of our needs.
- Where'd you read that?
- Don't dismiss my politics.
So, this is about your
politics, not your stiffy!
'Stiffy'? (Laughs)
Who calls it a stiffy?
John, am I the only boyfriend
- The only one asking me.
- I'm not!
This is normal now! You are
begrudging me being normal.
I don't want to talk
about this.
I came here to see
Nine To Five.
Apparently
it's very funny, OK?

Arggh! Ow, ow! Jesus!
Is it bleeding?
- What?!
.. pleasurable.
(Laughs)
I did that thing.
What thing?
Put my name down, like I said.
For acting school.
Now I have to audition.
Good.
It'll mean moving.
The acting school's in Sydney,
if I get in.
Melbourne would be better.
It's the national drama
school.
I think you'll get in.
Thank you.
Long-distance would be hard.
That's why I thought
we should have a trial.
A trial?
A trial separation.
Are you alright with that?
No.
When does it start?
I don't know.
Now?
Well, yes, I guess so.
It has to start now.
tonight?
Of course. I'm not gonna kick
you out of my bed.
- Well, I don't know!
- Stay tonight.
Yeah, I'd prefer to stay
tonight.
Stay tonight,
but tomorrow it starts.
- Tomorrow it starts?
- I don't know.
Doesn't mean we can't cuddle.
I think it does.
(Crying)
(Cries)
(Examiners murmur)

In Quasimodo's dream.
Hello, bald eagle.

I found out about
drama school, John.
Promise you won't make
a big deal.
Hey, guys!

(Both sniff)
TEACHER:
Walk like menand women.
Lead with your headlights.
How is the public
ever going to believe
this leading man
wants to win the dame?
self-loathing, is that it?
No. This is about gesture,
tone of voice, courage.
Look at you. That's a very
womanly way to hold yourself.
did you know that?
You're more
than your sexuality, Tim.
Walk. Long neck.
Come on.
Oh!
Oh, you want some rough-house?
I'll give you some
rough-house!
- Line!
- No.
- Line!
- No!
Can we stop playing games,
please, Barry?
How about you listen
for once?
- I have a right...
- You think you're an actor?
I think you want to be the
loudest person in the room.
- I'm just...
- I'm speaking.
I think you're here to be
validated, to be loved.
Find that elsewhere.
We're not giving you that, and
your audience certainly won't.
Now, play the blasted scene!
I can't.
Well, I think
that's answered that.
Brett, you'll do Stanley.
PETE SHELLEY:
HomosapienI'm the cruiser,
you're the loser
Me and you, sir
Homosapien too
Homosuperior in my interior
But from the skin out
I'm homosapien too
And you're homosapien too
And I'm homosapien like you
And we're homosapien too
And the world's buit of age
are a stage
Where we act out our lives
And the words in the script
seem to fit
'Cept we have some surprise
I just want this to last
Or my future is past
and all gone
And ifthis is the case
Then I'll lose in life's
race from now on...
- Chookas!
- Chookas, darling.
The house is open.
Is he here?
Chookas! Have a good show!
No.
Ba, ba, ba, ba, ba, ba, ba!
More than any desire
anywhere...
.. deep down,
in my deepest heart,
.. I want you back again.
Please... John...
Don't say any more.
You're making me cry
so dreadfully.
(I'm going to
f***ing kill you!)
JOHN:
Tim, get off!I have to go.
Take me with you! I can't bear
that mean drama school!
They say I'm too gay,
too loud...
- They might be right.
- ... I'm too self-centred.
And I want my Tupperware back.
Sure, if I visit again.
Might you visit again?
Maybe I'll check out
