Look Both Ways Page #3

and frets his hour...

upon the stage and then

is heard of no more.

It is a tail told by an idiot.

Full of sound and fury.

Christ!

Signifying nothing.

Can I get a drink, mate?

The show's not over.

Please.

Thank you.

Look, it's just a girl,

some groceries and a dog.

That's so over emoted

and twee, I mean...

A pretty girl in a pink

dress and her dog.

Do we only accept things

in attractive packages?

Well, I wouldn't call it

that attractive, alright?

- That's a bit harsh.

- What?

I just think she looks really pretty,

and I just think it's sad.

What do you think, Anna?

The photo on today's papers.

The woman whose boyfriend

was hit by a train?

Did she push him?

No!

Love the photos of dead-n-missing.

They're always so unflattering.

They'd use anything for the scoop.

Hello.

Hi.

Yes, just give me a second,

Anna, it's for you.

Hello.

I hate my job.

I don't want to do it for

the next twenty years.

Well, I just bought tickets

to London last week.

Emma and I are going to

work out there for a while.

What does that mean?

Where does that leave us?

You decide.

Yeah, sure.

Well, I'm pretty busy at the moment.

I'll talk to you tomorrow.

See you.

Why do people have sex! ?

[Police hold great fears

for eight people missing...

after the Anno Hill train crash. ]

Two days after the rail disaster,

the emergency services spokesman says,

they're unlikely to find any survivors.

The front carriage so badly crashed,

that rescue workers are facing

an almost impossible task.

...using 15 years old girls as bait

for lonely middle-aged men.

...career in trouble you

had a little surprise,

which perhaps you didn't

want at the time,

but which eventually became something

which undoubtedly enriched your work.

Mate?

What're you doing?

Jesus!

There's people...

wow...

Cool!

Paper's gone up.

Another 5 cents.

When?

From today.

I didn't bring anymore money,

I pay you tomorrow?

It's 5 cents!

You seriously want me

to put something back.

You know what? This is it!

All this small minded sh*t in the world.

This narrow minded stuff

that just gets stronger...

on the paper without any

relevant importance of anything

Shut up!

What is this?

Sunday girls' school.

Why?

I thought you had a shift today.

I'm sick.

I'm cutting down on the pain killers.

Your mother thinks I'm stupid.

I played hiding in wholes last night.

- Hi.

- Hi.

- How are you?

- Good.

I'm good. thank you.

How are you?

Good.

I...

I know I said I'd call,

but I realized I didn't get your number.

- 8-3-7-3-9-double 2

- Got a pen?

I'm sorry I left without saying goodbye,

but I didn't want to wake you up.

Couldn't sleep.

I thought maybe I was snoring.

Is that your dad?

I'm sure he was going to say

something nice when he died.

I wasn't nice the last time we spoke.

He was just asking how it was going.

What about your parents?

They live in town?

Well, my dad died.

God, I'm sorry.

- I've been blabbing on.

- No, that's alright, it's a while ago.

It's more than a year!

I came home when he got sick.

And he died.

I hang around,

'cause I was a bit worried about mom.

I even bought a place.

As an investment in the future.

You know,

I thought I'd live in it

for a while, before I...

had to go back overseas.

But I can't...

get in there, because I...

I have to go to my mom's for lunch.

She's cooking.

So, sorry,

I should go.

I don't suppose

you'd want to come with me, would you?

Dad!

Well, you have got broken arm,

haven't you?

I've given Maggie her medications,

so she won't need any

until after I pick her up.

But if she gets upset or anything,

I'm on the mobile.

And Oliver's got his

inhaler in his pocket.

They got 3 dollars pocket money,

but don't let them buy junk.

And please don't let

Maggie eat any ice-cream.

She had the worst

headache the last time.

You forgot to give the

earthquake survival plan.

Don't worry; I'll make

sure they don't get hurt.

At the light...

Cross at the lights!

Cross at the lights.

I'm hungry.

We're going to stay here,

until we get a glimmer of knowledge, ok?

Look at that baby?

Isn't it cute?

Do you know who Jesus is?

Jesus Christ Almighty!

I'll tell mom you swore.

Grouse.

Oliver, get off the floor.

Maggie, just wait there.

I have a cancer, mom.

No,

Mom, I've got cancer!

There you are!

Lunch is ready.

I wandered about giving those

to Becky's little boys.

I don't know. There's so much stuff.

I can't keep it for ever.

She seems very nice.

It's a lovely hash

I saw the recipe in a paper

Looked a bit better at the picture

It's nice.

Just like a bought one.

I love looking at the pictures,

but I never make them

It's not much fun for one.

It's good you came over,

I really enjoyed cooking

Never thought I would...

after all those years of

cooking for the family.

Special food, when Jim was ill.

It wasn't much fun for him!

Why should it be nice?

Why should it be? I mean...

He was fighting a war!

War?

There's always this stuff in the papers

About a brave battle with cancer.

But then you're also

supposed to accept it...

and have this nice everyone-gat

her-around-hug-each-other-death

When is that turning supposed to happen?

I don't know.

When it's inevitable.

When it would have made

better for him to find peace.

Your dad was so proud of himself.

He wasn't proud of himself, mom!

He was dying!

And we should have helped him

What?

I didn't do anything.

Course you did!

No I didn't.

I just let him lie there, waiting.

He was terrified

It doesn't matter how he died.

Your father's death was

not the sum of his life,

It doesn't matter how the life ends,

it matters how it was.

I couldn't give him my way of coping,

you couldn't give him yours.

Everybody has to find a way to

face their own death... and life.

You shouldn't try to get up on your own!

I wanted to go the toiled.

Why do you have to be so

bloody independent?!

What do you want to do now?

Want to go to the cricket?

Dad, I have a broken arm.

Yeah, you have another arm,

why don't you just use that?

Cricket's a boys game, dad.

It's not a boys' game,

women are great cricketers.

Only in the women's cricket.

You said we can play cricket! !

Later, come on.

Just come and sit here.

Did you ever like me?

Relationships just don't work

when they start out like this.

Stop!

It's mom!

I've got a headache.

Really?

Jess's Party!

You wasn't supposed to tell.

Is that Fill Jasmine?

Why couldn't I take them to the party?

I don't know.

I didn't do the invitations.

Come on.

Sit belts on.

What do you think they

were gonna eat at party?

Cabbage?

Bye.

I don't want all this crap again.

Well, you have the baby.

Don't be stupid.

What's stupid?

I'll have the baby and

you could take it a name.

You'll be in charge.

I'll pay maintenance.

And we don't have to abort.

You could work from home.

You said you wanted to do that.

Got it all sorted out, haven't you?

I didn't do this deliberately,
