You can answer for yourself, can't you?

They're her smokes. I was with her when she got 'em.

You can go to your room now.

Why?

'Cause I'm asking you to.

Great shot. Great shot. Don't ya reckon? Piss off!

Don't worry about it. It's only a game.

Get out!

- Leave her alone!

Get out.

Leave her.

Don't ever do that to me.

We're going home.

She's all right.

You're alright, aren't ya?

Ahh, come on.

- How'd ya go? - Okay.

- Yeah? Are they coming? - Come on, I didn't ask them then. - Why not? - Because you don't ask someone out

...while you're lining up for a pie. I did the groundwork though. - Yeah, well when are you? - Later. Once the crowd's gone.

- Where do you reckon we should take 'em? - Dunno. It was your idea.

Go for a drink?

Well how much you got left?

Enough.

Just...

Twenty-four bucks.

I wonder how long that's gonna have to last.

Until the next cheque.

- She was looking at me before. - Geez, you're in a bad way.

- What do ya mean? - Look at ya. It's over you like a rash.

- What? - You'll be right.

Yeah, same again thanks. Three beers, and one Brandy Alexander.

- You don't have to keep buying them. - Nah, it's okay.

How come you got so much money?

Win some at the races.

- Yeah? - Yeah.

Why do you spend all your money then?

Well if I've got it, I like to blow it.

I'm really hungry.

I'm starving.

What do you think?

I don't know.

What's wrong?

Oh he's all right. What's wrong with him?

You're dumb if you keep thinking about that other idiot.

Oh look, come on.

Starving.

Serge.

Where's your folks?

In the country. I just came to the city to get some work.

Hey, is there anything to drink?

Uh, I'll see.

There's some sweet sherry.

- Yeah? - Yuck!

- Oh I'll have some. - How about some crme de menthe?

Oh yeah! - You're not supposed to have that with pizza. - I don't care.

I suppose I'll have some if there's nothing else.

We can put some milk in it. Just like that other drink you were having.

You're stupid.

- You got any peanut butter?

- Yeah.

I'm gonna make some toast.

- Wanna see me room? - Why?

So you can check out my personality.

Okay.

Is, um, that your personality?

How do you mean?

- Do you mind taking it down? - Why?

Because I can't see you properly.

Okay.

We'll go back in now, okay?

Later.

How's it going?

- I don't know. I don't think she likes me.

- Of course she does.

- We'll stay with you tonight, okay? - Okay.

What did I tell you?

Well, we going?

Right.

- That's where it is. - Up there?

- How do we get up? - Fire escape.

- Forget it. - Oh it's not too bad, is it Tim?

- No, it's not far once you start.

- You don't have to climb up... - ...a fire escape to get into a motel. - Yeah, why isn't there a lift?

Because the building's locked. They've got a key, they can use it.

- And they won't mind us staying? - Me brother's really good. We've often stayed.

- With girls? - Oh yeah.

- How many?

- A few.

That just means it's okay.

I hope it's worth it.

Nearly halfway.

Ben's not here. He's doing his rounds.

- What does that mean? - He's checking out the building.

- Well so what? - Well Sue, his wife, she's really...

- She's a bit tight, actually.

- And she wouldn't let us in? - No way. - Does she know we're here?

Nah, I just said I was with Tim. He's often stayed.

What about all those other women you were talking about?

Ben and Sue were away on holidays then.

Look, what are we gonna do?

Could set up the spare room and let youse in through the window.

- Are you sure you know these people? - He's me brother.

- You alright? - Yeah.

- Well how long are we gonna have to wait? - Just a couple minutes, honest.

It better be or I'm going.

She'll be alright. She's not gonna climb down there again tonight, that's for sure.

I'm not gonna be quiet, I'm cold.

And where am I gonna sleep?

I don't know.

What a mess.

- Hey do you want a beer? Anyone want a beer? - No thanks. That pizza's made me feel sick.

- You'll have to do it out the window. - I'm not gonna be sick. - What if we wanna piss? - I'll get around, make sure Sue's in the room. - And come in and hold my hand? - Nah.

- Oh Christ, that'll be Ben. - And what does that mean?

Ben's really good. He'll sort Sue out and we'll be alright for the sitting room.

On the floor.

Well, there's a camp bed.

That's where I'll be.

- What's the story? - It's okay.

You two can sleep in there.

Great. This is really comfortable. - For you.

- Oh you'll be okay. You've got Tim. Wow.

Is it alright for us to go to the toilet now?

Yeah, just go through there on your left.

You'll be right.

Well, night-night.
