Tracey takes care of her junkie stepfather Lionel Dawson, unsuccessfully trying to make him quit his heroin habit. When her former boy-friend Jonny returns from Vancouver, Tracey's mother Janelle fears a fall of Tracey, while she blames Jonny for the car accident where her son Ray lost one leg.

you'd be clean now?

F*** knows where we'd be.

Scarlet for me and scarlet for you

What do you wanna eat?

I bet the food is pretty good here.

Is that what you heard? Like

you read restaurant reviews.

Certain times I do, yeah.

Are you ready to order?

What'd you like?

Take your time. I'll come back.

You're okay?

I don't wanna be here. I'm wanna go.

Tracy.

No, I just wanna go home, okay?

This is a bad idea.

Where are you going?

I'm going home.

Let me drive.

No, no, no.

Don't grab me!

Don't think you can f***ing... grab me.

Tracy, c'mon.

What am I doing here?

This is so easy for you!

Is it easy?

What do you reckon, huh?

I want to drive you home, okay?

Mr. Bush spoke to Mr. Howard

Mr. Bush spoke to Mr. Howard

about getting at least the understanding

Whoa, whoa, whoa.

What?

Is that loaded?

Nah, it's my farewell present when

I sold the bar in the Philippines.

Some bastard tried to impress me.

I never used it.

It's beautifully handcrafted.

Why don't you keep it? I'm retiring.

Oh, no.

No, I want you to have it.

I'm not a collector, mate.

Do you want a beer? I poured you one.

No, I might keep going.

There's some white wine in the fridge.

Jenny's getting a bit jacked

up at me showing up late.

So, if there's nothing

else, I'll see you tomorrow.

Yeah, alright.

At 10:
00?

Sure.

Hey,

what ever happened to that Barky couple

who ran the speed factory for us?

Merv and Eileen.

Where did they go?

Kangaroo Valley, I think.

They've got some goats up there.

Goats.

Goats.

I just wanna get things finalized.

Lawyer's on the case. You understand?

Yeah, yeah, sure.

Steven,

just sit down for a minute, will you?

I know you wanna get

back to your family.

Come.

I know some things about me

that you found... difficult.

I wanna say this.

I know what sort of man you are,

and your thoughts about such

matters won't make things...

I'm not one to judge, mate.

I just wanna... thank you

for your trust and discretion.

Okay. Well, I'll see you tomorrow.

Yeah, alright.

Right.

Okay.

Bradly's got no idea.

He hasn't been down to

the speed factory in years.

He just wants to f***

boys and play golf.

What if he goes down there?

Well, then he does.

Merv and Eileen can deal

with it. Honestly, Stevy.

I hurt my nose!

Is there any blood?

Is she alright?

Just a little bit.

My bunny, my bunny.

Oh, that's alright

'cause we've got him now!

We silly duffers. These toys are sh*t.

Bloody dangerous, too.

You know, Tiny and Jean

have got a new floor.

You can just lay straight over the slab.

Yeah? Good.

Here we go. It's okay, it's

okay, honey. There you go.

Sh, sh, sh, There.

There we go.

So, this is what we're doing.

So, we can save for a whole

new floor and we can have it.

It's worth it.

Yeah.

Move along the outside. Now

Springsfur is pushing up.

And now Camel has dropped to the tail.

Springsfur by four. Second is Camel.

Tracy, you're brother's

here. C'mon, please.

He's not here.

Having a good perv?

You're losing your touch.

Why didn't you wake

me? I missed my swim.

I did try to wake you, but

if my memory says me correctly

you told me to f*** off, mum.

Sorry.

M um, just drop her off

here. She can get the train.

I'm late.

Here's the station, Trace.

Where're you going, anyway?

I don't know. It's a surprise.

Yeah, it's just

somewhere never you mind.

Go right here. M um, mum? Go.

Oh, don't. Stop it, for goodness sake!

We're going to take forever

to get back on the freeway.

I'll take Tracy to work.

Laura picks her up, right?

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

M um?

Just wait, please. Trace!

Did you go out with Jonny last night?

Yeah.

Okay.

Hey, mom?

Give us a kiss.

Oh, no, no, no! Naughty girl!

Like the lesbians?

You have a good day.

Could you not clap lesbian...

Doesn't it go in the Ts?

No.

I'll look for it Ivonne as a customer.

Would you?

When do you find out about the bank?

This afternoon.

You told Janelle you got

the loan approved already.

Yeah.

Did you tell her anything different?

No!

The party's right here. It's right here!

Are you alright?

Yeah.

Just I didn't sleep much last night.

You're racing or you

just watching some TV?

I went out with Jonny.

Are you alright?

It's a change.

Didn't you and Janelle have

a chitty chat about that?

Tracy.

Lionel Dawson. Okay, I can

buy that. He's an old friend.

Do you think this is okay?

He's straight. Straighter than you.

Do you feel okay about being around him?

I can handle it.

You don't know him!

No, I don't.

He's a stockbroker.

Went to this really nice

restaurant in the city.

What?

You look scared. I haven't

seen that look for a while.

There's this big f***ing empty space.

Tracy, it's okay.

I'm f***ing fine.

Take it easy.

Brad, it's Lionel.

If you're there, mate, please pick

up. I really need to talk to you.

Brad, it's Lionel again.

Please, call me, mate. Okay?

It's the third time today.

Your wife's outside.

She's got a key.

Look at these f***ing boxes.

There are people waiting.

Can I stay today? Please?

If you want to arrange this,

you talk to me.

'Cause I f***ing live here, not her.

I co-owned, Bradley.

C'mon, Steven.

You f***ing prick.

Do you know whose house is this?

Bradley Thompson's. What?

Don't you want to have a look inside?

Ray!

It's open for inspection,

mom! Look, anyone can go in.

How did you find out about it?

I just ready it in the paper. C'mon.

Hi, my name is Tracy Heart. I had

an appointment with Donna Suvani.

It's just that I need to secure

the loan as soon as possible.

No.

Okay. No, that's great.

Yeah, yeah. I'll be there. Thank you.

Excuse me.

I've gotta close the

shop. Do you want anything?

I'm gonna get change.

I'll be two minutes.

It's Trace.

Oh, honey, I forgot how painful this is.

It's f***ing horrible.

I'll be back in a

couple of hours, alright?

I call Brad so many times but he

hasn't called back. I don't understand.

Sorry, Lionel, but I gotta go.

I'll be back really soon, alright?

Okay.

Hi. I'm here to see Donna Suvani.

Mh-hm. Take a seat.

Yeah, it's alright. It's

about half an hour trip.

Hi, Jonny. Steven Moss.

Steven, this is Jonny Nguyen.

How are ya?

Good, good, good.

I'm sorry, excuse me.

Hi.

Hi.

Where are you?

With some friends at

the club. Where are you?

I'm just sorting out some...

Finishing up the bank stuff.

It's kind of hard for

me to talk right now.

Sure, sorry.

No, that's fine.

It's great you called.

I missed you.

I just, I wanted to

say that last night...

Tracy, listen, I'll call you.

Okay? I have to finish here.

Excuse me. You can go in now.

I've gotta go.

G'day, Tracy.

How are you?

Sit down. Wait me a second.

Bloody computers.

He's cute.

You want kids?

Don't know.

I've got a friend who's

having a second baby.

Really? He's nice.

A lot of work.

Have you got a boyfriend?

Would it help the loan if I did?

Maybe.

Okay.

Now, the business loan.

I'm really sorry,

Tracy, but there's no way
