Long Weekend Page #2

Synopsis: Peter and Carla have a wasted marriage and constant friction. Peter buys expensive camping gear and, despite the protests of Carla, insists they travel with their dog Cricket to camp on the isolated Moondah Beach in the North Coast with his friend Luke and his girlfriend during the rainy holiday. Peter stops in a pub at the Eggleston Hotel and leaves a message for Luke with the owner of the pub. When Peter takes what he believes to be shortcut to the beach, he gets lost and the couple spends the night sleeping in their SUV. The next morning, Peter organizes the campsite and their intrusion into and abuse of the natural environment begins. During the two days, the couple's relationship deteriorates while the nature avenges the bad treatment the couple has inflicted upon it.

And you?

I hang the shower.

Goddamn.

Okay?

The safety catch is still on.

Sorry, sweetie.

It was not allowed to go off.

Sorry.

I'll fill it.

Cricket.

Come on, girl.

Look at all these ducks.

I'll blow you all away.

Come on.

Funny.

I'm asleep.

How you doin '?

- Good.

Sorry.

Okay.

Dr. Hargraves said it

a few weeks.

It's been a few months.

Sorry, but I can not disable

like you.

Is it a mental thing or...

Something chemically?

I think I need to understand things like

.

I'm just a guy.

I'm sure it's only temporary.

Why do not you come surfing?

I have severe headaches from the sun received.

That goes surfing talking about.

Come on.

You have always wanted to try.

No, you always says that I should try.

Fine then.

What happened to Luke and his girlfriend happened?

I have no idea.

Should we not look for, or are they...

Honey, they can be found from here

to Packenham.

Luke knowing...

He became stoned and went to the wrong beach.

I find it strange that they have not been showing up

.

Maybe we're on the wrong beach.

- Maybe.

I have another car on the beach seen.

I thought we found this place to ourselves.

You can shoot them.

Cheers.

What is your way across?

- I have a headache, I told you.

What's really bothering you?

- I'm bored.

Come on you lazy ass off...

And do something,

instead of complaining.

I wanted to Portsea,

remember?

Look, Peter...

I'm not the type to

outside to sh*t and be smashed.

The sun is too hot,

the water too cold.

You have your surfing and your toys.

What should I do?

No idea.

Go play with yourself.

Cricket?

What is that?

Peter.

I thought...

I have not seen you...

It's good.

There was something in the water.

Cricket?

What is that?

My God, what is that?

- No idea.

It looks like a seal.

I've heard that sound again.

As if something was crying.

There is definitely something in the water.

Can not we just go home?

How's your headache?

I was not kidding.

Do we really have to spend a night?

We just got here.

We may at midnight back home.

I'll make it worth your,

beauty.

"Home" is where I leave my dirty socks.

You had your mother to marry.

You have nicer tits.

I mean it, baby.

- That I should marry my mother?

Peter...

- Honey...

Do you really want after a night

leave again. Come on.

Come here.

- Forget it.

What is it?

Honey, the chicken is spoiled.

That is not possible.

- Yes.

It is terribly spoiled.

You're out too long leave.

- Impossible.

Come over and see.

You should have left out too long.

I have not done.

Then we should eat steak.

We need something else thawing.

- Can we just go home?

Can we just go home?

Why? Because the chicken spoiled...

And moldy?

- It's not that f***ing chicken.

That thing in the water could've

kill, and it is terrible.

I want to go home.

- It was probably a dolphin.

That was not a dolphin.

- What then?

Carla, calm down once.

Look here.

What is that? A adelaarei?

Can you eat them?

I'm an eagle attacked.

These are not people.

- Why are you laughing?

Harpoons are not going off

with the safety catch on.

Do not you realize what's happening?

- Honey...

He wanted to fix the chicken steal.

That smell for miles.

No, he was a 'she',

and she searched her egg.

You have not even seen.

F***.

Why did you do that?

It was just an egg, Peter.

You should not have to break throw.

- Why not?

Why are you so full of hate?

- That's not so.

Do not you see, what you doing to

?

Where are you going?

- I'm leaving.

Come back to talk to.

- I'm leaving.

You're not going anywhere.

- You just enjoy the wilderness.

I go to a hotel.

- Carla, come back.

Are you coming or not?

Prima.

C*nt.

Decided to continue anyway?

What's wrong?

I have the batteries changed,

to the refrigerator to join.

Change them again.

- Do it yourself.

F***.

Where do you like, a**hole?

What happened?

Tomorrow morning we leave.

My head...

How's your hand?

Good. But my head hurts.

I want to leave early.

- Yes, I see.

Maybe we can use

Portsea drive home.

Prima.

That's just...

250 km detour.

It's a shame the rest of the weekend

ruin.

I will pack up the rest.

- I'll do that.

Then I have a table...

- No.... amazing.

You have the spilled sugar.

See those ants everywhere?

I'm sorry...

- I need your help.

Go for a walk or something.

I'm packing it.

From now on.

I told you it was not a dolphin.

Yes, that's a Dugong.

A manatee.

There were thousands of coastal...

Before they were slaughtered for their oil.

She searched her young.

This explains the sounds you hear.

It is said that the youth

as crying like babies.

It's terrible.

I'm going to talk to those people.

Ask if they have seen Luke.

I mean...

Come.

- I mean...

It's a pity to just leave.

We have the whole day to relax.

You promised, Peter.

- I know. I do not say...

That we have here one night stay.

- You promised.

I'm not...

- You promised.

F*** my promise.

I want to drive to the beach...

And just talk to the people who camp.

We have here no later than 12 hours away.

It takes only half an hour.

They are no longer there.

Not everyone is afraid

Mother Nature, sweetheart.

Not everyone is afraid.

- Well, let's go then.

Come on.

Is not this fun, sweetheart?

What time for ourselves.

You wanted

riding along the beach and we do so.

You know, Carla, I feel like I

sucks.

I have the feeling that everything

what you come close...

A little closer to death.

I do not know how I would stand by the nature...

But I do not think Mother Earth

is very fond of you.

Is fixed a feminine touch?

Other chemicals.

You know, the truth is, that I

the world brighter than you see.

Must be something male.

- Egocentric a**hole.

You're a selfish bastard.

You drag me here...

To this terrible place and stick your head like a turtle...

From your tent of $ 10,000.

You call this reality?

Reality is dealing with the right people...

Mountains and earn money.

Those are your own words.

- All right, go on.

There are holidays for.

Let me ask you this.

Is it true if you Mark fucks

and then the unborn child murder?

You're unbelievable.

You were so horny on Simone, you

Mark and I spent together.

And now you scream like a pig,

while everything is f***ed up. Or not?

Everything is f***ed.

If it was not murder,

why did you not tell me?

Did you think I would agree

votes to destroy it?

Nothing is destroyed.

Nothing is destroyed.

- Since then it gnaws at you.

F***.

F***.

- Val yourself dead.

You said you could not handle it.

A child taking.

I love children.

I wanted a son, which

I could surf.

My God, how I hate you.

- Would you hold ..

It was a horrible mistake?

You f***ed, panicked and attacked...

Because you knew that the child was mine.

I can not take it anymore, Peter.

We drive to the end of the beach and look for

people.

I'm talking about us, Peter.

This week will divorce you,

next week you want new curtains.

Then the headache,
