Milo Page #2

-[Milo] We're on mid-term. Everybody's going on the

school camping trip. They're leaving tomorrow. But I'm not allowed to go. -O-Of course you are.

-No, he's not. We have other plans. What other plans? There's nothing more important

for a boy his age. God, I remember the cold,

the snuggling up, the kiss chases,

building fires in the woods, I coopt my first real feel

for Christ sakes. He is going, no argument. How much? It said four hundred

on the form. Here, I have... Four and another hundred, to spend on the women,

on one condition. You send me a post card

when you get there. Thanks grandad Give me the money, Milo. -Give it to me now.

-It's my money,

he gave it to me. -Mom.

-[Nadia] You must do

as your father says. -But it's not fair.

-[Nadia] Maybe, but what

you did was wrong. [speaks Romanian] [speaks Romanian] [door opens in distance] [yells] [Nadia] And we think he's

on the bus to school camp. If anybody picks up this message

please contact us immediately. Thank you. [Nadia] Answer phone

at the school. They're probably on the

bus already. Maybe we should let him stay? -You support his disobedience?

-No. But Rochelle said it would

be good for him-- First of all I'm going

to finish my breakfast. And then I'm going to input

last week's sales figures. And then I'm going to go

fetch him home. Because if you or Milo or that

bloody medaling teacher, think that I'm going to let

him stay, you've all got

another thing coming. -I'm coming too.

-It's up to you. [indistinctive chatter] [Nadia] Please, just let me

go and fetch him. [Brand] No,

I'll handle it. [Brand] I'll be right back. Hey guys. [Rochelle] We'll be waiting up,

he's probably still on his way

here. I'll call you the moment

he arrives, of course. [Nadia] Ok Rochelle. [Rochelle] It'll be a relief for

all of us, I can tell you. -Ok.

-[Rochelle] Night. Bye. [Brand] Come on Nadia. We're gonna find him. I'm calling the police. [dog barking] -[tires squeal]

-[Milo grunts] [Star] F***ing hell. [dog barking] [Star whispers] F***ing hell. F***. [Mick indistinctively speaking

over phone] [Star] No, no, it wasn't that. That's my girl. The f*** the...

[phone line fuzzes] [Star] Jeez, it's a bulk? -No, no, it's the tendon.

-What? Wiped out over it-- the tendon! [Star] Tendon? Oh jeez Mick. I can hardly hear you--

[line fuzzes] [Star] No it's the

bleeding signal! Oh for f*** sake! [sighs] [phone ringing] -[Star] Yeah, Mick?

-[Mick] Can you hear? -Yeah, much better.-Look the car, get it sorted ok? Yeah, ok, I'll uh cover

it up right. I'm gonna lie low here. Best if you stay put too. Pick me up at the old

factory grounds, God I love you some of this. I love you too hotrod. [Star] You're not hungry? Well I am. [exhales deeply] So, what in the name of Jesus is

a young fella doing out in the

middle of the night, trying to wreck my car

with his ribs? I'm sorry. What day is it today? [Star] Tuesday. [Milo] I need to go

Dundee Fairth park. I've only got five days. -I can pay--

-Yeah, yeah, yeah,

take it easy kid, right? [Milo grunts] [exhales] [Star exhales] [water running in distance] [dog barks] [dog continues barking] Enough! Logan, down. -Stay.

-[dog growls] Come on you stay. Get out of there, come on. [dog growling] [grandad] A bloody fool,

that's what you are. A bloody fool. I gave him permission to go,

didn't I? -Yes dad, you did,

but he's not--

-[grandad] What? The boy takes after me,

of course he went. We should take it

to the police. They said any piece

information we can give them,

will help with the inquires. [grandad] Police are bloody

fools too. Gentleman I know. He used to be police,

now he's what you might

call a free agent. Agent mean well,

he forcing his mother. Took some artistic photos of

her, very compromising. She's a bloody fool too. [grandad] Connor,

Lucas Mulder here. I've got a job for you. It's about my grandson. [panting] -[dog barks]

-[Star] You see, he's kind of sweet

once you get to know him. I mean, if you go off running

to his territory without

introducing yourself, he'll bite you in the ass. So do you want to tell

him your name? Milo. Milo, Logan. So tell us, Milo, why are you so dead set on going

to Dundee Fairth park? It's my school camping trip. I promised my friend, Caitlin. She's only going to be there

until Sunday. [Star] Ah. Little knight in shining armor,

huh? Look. Any other day,

I'd take you anywhere. Especially considering I hit you

with the car and all, but uh, I got to be straight with ya, me and my boyfriend, you know, the fella

on the phone, kind of messed up. Borrowing some money. All places money. So, it looks like

we're stuck here. I mean just until Mickey

gets back. You're a bit of an amateur

photographer, aye? Here. Close your eyes, go on. Now open them. -Who is she?

-[Star] Me dopy. Glastonbury fair, 1978. Whatcha think? I was a fox, wasn't I? Now, I'm a cougar. Ah. Here, come here. Let's have a look. -[Milo grunts]

-Jesus. [exhales] Maybe I should try think about

getting you home somehow. I'm not going home. [sniffs] What does your old man do? [Milo] Feng shui consultancy

for Balance Living. -What?

-[Milo] He has a website, and when people buy the products

he mentioned in his podcasts, he gets a commission. Probably means he makes a

shitload of money, right? Yeah, he sells loads of stuff. He has over 20 thousand

subscribers. Yeah but, what the f*** you doing

with my cream? Well? Prince cream boy. I need to use cream. I have a skin condition. Oh. Well where else? [Milo] You have to make

sure it's everywhere. Everywhere. Like there? There? [chuckles]

And there? -[both chuckle]

-And there? -There?

-Alight stop. [classical rock

plays on cassette tape] [Star humming] Good yeah? [Star humming] Woo! Do you like music?

Do you listen to much? Not much. What? Don't like music? God, I listen to it all day. [Star] Stick to the

promises you made me Stick to the promise girl

that you made me I can't marry you,

till I go free -Ok love.

-[music stops] Get in the back there. Get in the back, go on. Keep your head right down now,

alight? [car horn beeping] [Star] There you go. [Star] Mick. Oh Jesus love, look at the state

of the cups everywhere. [Mick] Froze my f***ing

ass off as well. [Star] What happened in there? [Mick] Well the big f***er

behind the counters, standing up, you know? -So...

-[lighter flickers] I take out my gun? And, point at him. But just when I went to, cog the hammer, I get this awful pain all

the way up my arm. And I look down at my thumb, and it was hanging down like a

f***ing dead caterpillar. -[Star] Jesus Mick.

-[Mick] So, I drop the piece, and bend over to get a better

look at the thumb. And suddenly everything

goes black. -[Mick] What the f***.

-[Star] Would you take it easy. -I was going to tell ya--

-Get off! [Star] But you just kept

rambling on Mick. He ran out in front

of me the other night. I mean he scared the crap
