Early this

Sorry.

No, didn't even see him.

Dan.

What?

Damn it.

Sh*t, sh*t, sh*t, sh*t.

Grace.

Hey, come on.

Angus.

A:

lazy waddle down the Monash

during peak hour was always

going to ruffle a few feathers.

But darting didn't

stop these little guys

from breaking free from mom

to embark on some line hoping

of their own.

Come on, mate, you

eat some of that?

I don't really like it.

Come on.

Good day.

Look at this.

Peter, what's the kid's name?

Philip.

How many legs has it got?

No, I'm serious.

Has it got pinchers?

Has it got wings?

Just trap it.

Get a jar, put the jar over

the top, get a piece of paper,

slide it behind, put the jar--

hun, stop screaming.

Stop screaming.

Stop screaming.

Yeah, OK.

I know you're scared.

The spider's probably scared.

Listen, just go and stay

in Phillip's room tonight.

Look, hun, I'm going to be

back in a couple of days.

It'll move around.

I'm sure it's going to

avoid you like the plague.

It was a joke.

It was a-- It was a--

hello?

Do that.

Come on.

Clean up.

Do you want to go first?

All right.

Not

much to crow about.

Especially as they're

on the 82 shore.

Honey?

I don't think this

stuff's working.

I don't think this

stuff's working.

What?

Nell?

What?

This new toothpaste you

bought, I don't think it's

making any difference.

Well you've only

just started using it.

It's supposed to make

teeth whiter, isn't it?

Something like that.

Well, it isn't.

Well, don't use it then.

Well, because it says

it makes teeth whiter.

It should make them whiter.

This stuff got a guarantee?

Nah.

Can you see my

teeth when I talk?

What?

Can you see my

teeth when I talk?

I don't know.

Have you wiped that mirror?

Yeah, yeah.

What do you think?

Any whiter?

I'm not sure if it

works on false teeth.

Oh, why not?

False teeth a little whiter?

Got you.

Oh, what are you doing?

What about a bit of crumpet?

No.

Come on.

No, Tom.

It's delightful

in the morning.

Tom.

What?

Oh.

No, no.

Tom.

Could you, could you get up?

You're on my bad knee.

Oh, sorry.

Oh.

Are you all right?

Oh, Tom.

Darling.

What?

It was just a fun.

You OK?

Oh, there-- there's not

much happening here.

So look, I could come home.

At the office.

I could pop home.

Oh, fair enough.

Yeah.

Oh, oh.

I suppose I'd better let

you get on with your day.

Yeah.

All right.

Lazy waddle down

the Monash during peak hours.

Yeah, yeah, fine.

No problem.

Much obliged.

Thank you, thank you

very much indeed.

All right, bye.

That's a job.

David's passed it on.

Oh, what is it?

Missing teenagers.

Girls.

How old?

I don't know but they've

stolen some money, too.

Oh, how much?

Quite a bit, I believe.

Poor parents.

Yeah.

I'll go with them.

Not at this hour.

Look, they'll be

in a hell of a state.

They want someone to talk to.

Surely Davis already

talked to them.

No, look, he said that

there's no more the police

can do at this stage.

Tom.

Don't worry.

Don't worry.

I promise you, I won't

be long, all right?

Bye.

Three pairs.

Maybe I should take five.

Why would you need five?

Well, I don't know how

long I'm going to be, do I?

Well, it's not going to

take that long, surely.

No, probably not

but you never know.

Well, you can't be away

from the office for five days,

can you?

No.

Well then, what's

the point of taking

five pairs of underpants?

Well, it's only underpants.

You don't have to

do this, you know.

I know.

Then why do it?

Money, I guess?

No, we've got enough.

Look, do you

want me not to go?

That's not the point, surely.

Look, I'll give

it up next year.

You say that every year.

Anyway, what else would I do?

Read a book?

You can't read a book all day.

Better make more use than that.

Oh, well, if you want to

be useful, mow the lawn.

But you've got the

lawn looking so lovely.

Oh, I don't know, Tom.

Are you, are you going

to go and stay at Chery's?

Why would I do that?

Well, I thought

you might be lonely.

Oh, for goodness sake.

All right.

So, do I pay for you, too?

No, no.

It's all part of

the arrangement.

Are you sure?

Yes.

All right.

Look, I'm going to

go out to the car.

All right, bye.

No, Dan, it's not all right.

Jesus.

Better get going.

Two spring rolls.

Tom.

Can't sleep?

Can't sleep.
