No, I haven't.

So how long has she been away?

Six months.

You don't worry she got her legs...

wrapped around

some other guy by now?

- No. She's not like that.

- Like what?

Normal?

Like you.

Let me tell you something, Andy.

They're all like me.

Well! What do you know?

Another rainbow!

Where's my gun?

F***!

I knew it!

Pot of gold!

If you even wink at these pricks...

- you're f***ed!

- What's going on?

Cops are at the door.

Oh, f***!

Say anything you want.

Just get rid of him.

I've killed two people.

I got nothing to lose.

Mr. Shepard?

Yes?

How can I help you?

I'm Sergeant Widdens,

this is Constable Blarney.

We're with the Bowral Police.

Your housekeeper got in touch with us.

She reckons she hasn't

been able to raise you.

Oh...

- You all right, Mr. Shepard?

- Yes, I'm fine.

Would you prefer if we came inside?

I've been overdoing it a bit.

My fiance rang a few days ago.

She's met someone else.

She's coming here

to pick up her things.

Yeah, well...

I know how these things

can get on top of you...

but if you could call her,

I'd appreciate it.

I'm really sorry to have troubled you.

You did it.

The cop car hasn't started.

The boss reckons

they're up North by now.

Yeah.

Oh, well.

He's the boss.

Hello?

Yes, hello, Lilly?

It's Andrew.

Yes, I'm sorry,

but thanks for your concern.

No, I was actually really touched.

No, I should have called.

Listen.

I... If you...

I don't want you to come in tomorrow

if that's all right.

No, next Tuesday will be fine.

You know, the usual...

personal things, Lilly.

All right, then, well, next week.

Okay.

Thank you.

Bye-bye now. Bye!

You did good.

You know, you could make

a very good crim.

You have earned yourself a shower.

Frittata!

How are you going to live in Thailand

if you can't eat real food?

I've had Thai, okay?

This is just an omelet for wankers!

I reckon he's a poofter.

Haven't you noticed?

He likes it when I tie him up.

Take me hostage.

What?

You're so cute

when you're an idiot.

Don't call me cute all right?

Kittens are cute.

There's hair dye in the cabinet.

The bathroom is free now

if you need it.

I'm done.

Take out the belly button ring.

What?

You're beautiful.

Yeah?

Well, just keep

your hands to yourself.

You are perfect.

A spot-on upper-class b*tch.

...has been linked

to the abduction...

Sh*t.

He disappeared from

outside his club...

in the early hours

of Sunday morning.

Police believe

he has been wounded...

and may be in a serious condition.

In a tragic twist...

service station attendant

Terrance Gilmore...

was apparently murdered

yesterday afternoon.

Police have released

this photo of a man...

wanted for questioning

in relation to both matters.

He is 28-year-old

Ronald Jason Beron.

He is described

as armed and dangerous.

Beron is believed

to be traveling with a woman...

described as a brunette,

and in her early twenties.

Police believe the couple

may still be in the area.

In other news,

Prime Minister John Howard...

is meeting with cabinet today.

They think your d*ckhead boss

is alive.

That's why the choppers.

I can't go out there.

All right, that didn't look like you,

you're fine.

They're looking for a blue ute...

that we are not driving anymore.

Don't make me do it.

Babe, they're looking

for a brunette...

and you have blonde hair.

They're looking for a couple.

You're going to be on your own.

It's just sh*t that they

put out just to rattle us.

That's all.

Can't I go tomorrow?

Listen, if you do not go today...

and tomorrow...

we have to stay here

for another two weeks.

I can't go out there.

Well, I can't do it, can I?

You're doing it.

If you don't do this...

you might as well kiss

our future good-bye.

And don't cry.

That's my father

and that's Heather.

- Gold.

- Gold, Andy, gold!

You didn't tell anyone?

Not for a couple of years,

and when the list came up...

I bought it.

I never looked back.

- Your father, the rogue.

- Trust me...

You don't want to see that.

Your dad's an Aussie?

What the bloody hell

happened to you?

Your father's a rogue.

Wasn't that it?

It was perfect.

Gabrielle doesn't smoke, though.

Yeah, well, I do.

Hey.

Say something else.

Would you please cash this for me?

Would you...

Open your mouth.

Try and make the words more discreet.

F*** off!

No one's going to believe I went

to some posh-ass school anyway.

Class is an attitude.

It's not about you.

Why don't you imagine

that everybody you meet...

is younger than you are...

like they're 12.

Everyone you meet knows less

about the world than you do.

Would you please cash this for me?

Very good.

Good afternoon,

my name is Gabrielle Martin.

Good afternoon,

my name is Gabrielle Martin.

Perfect.

All right, school's over.

Let's go.

Good afternoon, I'm Miss Martin.

I have this check for you to cash.

Good afternoon,

I'm Gabrielle Martin.

I have this check for you to cash.

If you get stopped...

just tell them that you

picked up your old license.

It's just a fine.

Ronald, would you be a darling

and bring the car up for me?

Oh, sure, Miss...

Miss Martin.

Be right with you.

You know I wouldn't let you go...

if I didn't think you could do it.

You just want to live, that's all.

Yes.

I do.

That's why I'm not worried about you.

So.

How do I look?

Gum.

Don't, Ronnie.

My lipstick.

Did a good job, Andy.

I hardly recognized her.

Glad you approve.

Oh, I didn't say that, did I?

So you enjoy yourself up there?

Dressing her up?

Doing her hair?

Hey, And, you can admit it.

She's hot. Right?

She's very sweet.

Come on, And!

You've been checking her out

ever since we got here.

No, I haven't. I...

You sayin' she's a dog?

No, of course I'm not.

So you have been checking her out.

No. She's your girl, Ron...

That's right, And!

That's right.

She's my girl.

And you wanna f*** her.

No, no. It's not true.

You think she's hot?

- And you'd like to f*** her.

- No, Ron.

You think she's hot,

and you'd like...

- to f*** her.

- No!

You think she's hot,

and you'd like...

- to f*** her!

- No, Ron!

You wanna f*** her,

don't ya? Yeah, Andy!

Come on!

You wanna f*** her!

Yes! All right! Yes!

I'm only f***ing with you, Andy.

But maybe I'm not.

Next, please.

Next, please!

I've got this check

for you to cash.

I... I've left...

Sh*t.

It's a lovely piece, that.

Dressed in porcelain in Amalou.

That's 1780.

It's quite unusual. Look.

It's lovely.

Are you after anything

in particular?

No, just browsing.

Of course. Feel free.

Do you live locally?

Yes.

We're just out of town.

Well, look, let me get

you one of my cards.

I have contacts here

and overseas...

so often, if you're after

something specific...

I can source it for you.

But next time, you might want

to bring your partner in...

Or not.

I have this check

for you to cash.

Sure.

Now, your chick...

She's hot.

I hope you don't

mind me saying that.

- No.

- Good.

Because I'd really
