Submarine Page #6

I'll meet you there.

OK.

I'm sorry I'm like this.

- I dunno. I'm sorry.

- No, it's fine.

- Don't think you have to wait. It's cold.

- No, it's fine. I'll wait.

I've got you these matches.

Your favourite.

I noticed the way you light a match.

The flame is the same shape

as a falling tear.

I knew then it was too late to save her.

She'd gone gooey in the middle.

From now on she'll buy little gifts

for her favourite teachers

and she'll admire the scenery

and she'll buy soup for homeless people.

And she'll never burn my leg here again.

- Maybe I will go. It's pretty cold.

- Yeah.

OK.

Good night.

When I discovered

I could see these colours in people,

it took a long time because I was

in such a state of anxiety.

It was when I start. Ed to be comfort.

Able with it and stopped trying to resist it,

it start. Ed to nourish me.

And I could relax around it and be in it.

Then I start. Ed to make

more of an understanding of it.

Well, it's um...

It's interesting.

He's really working that third eye, isn't he?

It's just a metaphor, Lloyd.

Oh, no, no, no. I mean, it's good, yes.

I like the whole colour coding thing.

Well, I'd like to go again.

I'd like you to be there, so...

- You want us to go?

- Yes, I do.

Right.

Do I have to bring shorts?

- It's on this Friday, so...

- Right, OK, yeah.

What, are you coming or...

Well, I'm intrigued, yeah.

- For sure.

- This Friday. This Friday.

- This Friday?

- Mm-hm.

OK, yep, yep.

- Thank you.

- Mm.

Don't let me down. OK?

The most fantastical way people

experience the Graham T Purvis system,

is to come to the seminar.

Oliver, what are you doing?

...have been mind-blowing.

I've seen lives change.

It's just incredible.

I wish on a global scale

that people could get the message.

Wouldn't it be just wonderful?

Friday...

I'll be OK. I'll be...

I'll be fine. I'll be all right.

Yeah, I'll be OK.

Yeah.

You should go in.

Dad, aren't you going to Graham's thing?

- Hm?

- Graham's thing. It's Friday.

I thought you were going out.

Yeah, I'm meant to be at the hospital.

Well, you should get along then, I suppose.

Yeah. Yeah, I will. Yeah, I should go.

Right, I'm off out.

I'll see you, then.

Bye.

Dad, who would you save first in a house fire,

given the hypothetical situation

that both Mum and I

were equally difficult to save?

I'd save your mother first,

so we had a better chance

of working together to save you.

Do you often feel like this?

Like what?

- Tired?

- Down in the dumps.

Quite often.

How long for?

Since I was about your age, I suppose.

What does it feel like?

Like being underwater.

Is that why you became a marine biologist?

Maybe, yeah.

Have you always liked fish?

I suppose so.

I just sort of drifted into it, really.

No pun intended.

And does Mum mind?

I think she'd rather I earnt more money.

No, you being underwater.

Oh.

Yeah, no.

I'm sure she'd rather I wasn't.

It's not very pleasant.

The ocean is six miles deep, isn't it?

Well remembered. Yeah.

Could be Mum.

Or Jordana.

I haven't spoken to Jordana about her mother

because there's only two possible outcomes.

Either the operation was a success,

in which case she'll be too relieved

to be angry with me for long,

or her mother was dead,

in which case she needs privacy

and time to grieve.

During this brief hiatus,

I can help save my parents' marriage

and then resume my duties

as the best boyfriend in the world.

Oliver.

Yes?

- What's this?

- I don't know.

- What is this?

- A letter.

- I don't know what's in it.

- I think you do.

Why did you write this, Oliver?

This isn't funny.

If I did write it, and I'm not as yet

admitting that I did,

it'd be because I spoke to Dad.

This is what he wants.

- You spoke to Dad?

- He knows he's been imperfect.

What did you talk about, Oliver?

Listen,

he still finds you attractive.

He still wants to make love to you.

Are you making this up?

Me and Dad have discussed it.

We both want to make this marriage work.

Are you with us?

Going to the beach with Graham.

I will not be back tonight.

On New Year's Eve,

everyone from town goes to the beach.

Chip said, if a girl won't get off with you

on New Year's Eve,

you may as well cut it off.

I'm start. Ing to think that we may grow apart...

I don't want a mystic ninja as a stepdad.

I don't want to be from a broken home

like Chip's,

wearing tracksuit tops instead of coats

and taking gateway drugs in shopping malls.

I want my family back.

I don't want anything to change.

The celebrations are really kicking in, right?

Yeah.

It distresses tiny animals.

- You can relax, right?

- Mm.

- There's some lovely massage oils.

- Great. OK.

In you get.

All right.

I have no idea what I'm hoping to achieve

by breaking into Graham's house.

I just want to give him

the idea that I'm deranged

and therefore capable of anything.

This will probably involve me urinating

or something.

I need a f***ing drink.

I'm doing it. Just do it.

Just do it...

Just do it.

OK.

Feel my piss.

Oh, come on.

Come on.

Oh, for f***...

F***.

It's fine.

Come on. Just...

F***ing piss on your face, you f***ing freak.

For f***'s sake, just come on. Loosen up.

Oh, here we go.

OK, that'll do it.

Jesus Christ.

F***.

Kim-Lin?

Is that you?

Do you still have a key?

That's very naughty.

Oh, this is fun, isn't it?

What kind of protest's this, then, eh?

Huh?

How much more of this bizarre behaviour

do I have to endure?

Nearly went red there.

Come on, up you get, sweetheart.

I'm just try...

My name is not Kim-Lin.

My name is Oliver Tate.

Hello.

Hello.

Hello!

Knock, knock.

How are you feeling?

I saw Mum with Graham at the beach.

Mm. Mum told me everything.

Did she say she went into the van

with his face on it?

Yes.

Did she say what happened in the van

with his face on it?

Yes.

Aren't you angry?

Worse things have happened at sea, Ol.

- What did happen?

- That's between your mother and I.

Lloyd, I think it best we be honest.

Sweet pea,

I gave Graham a handjob.

Is there anything you'd

like to say about that?

- Lloyd, do you want to add anything?

- No.

OK. Well, I was drunk

and I was trying to relax Graham.

- It was a silly thing to do.

- Mm.

Thank you.

Your father and I have discussed it

and if it's OK with everyone,

that's the last we'll say about it.

OK? Thank you.

Is there anything

you'd like to talk about now, huh?

Me and Jordana

are having relationship problems.

- Oh.

- It's difficult.

I suppose it won't matter when I'm 38 but...

I'm upset about it.

You should be more angry with her.

Why would I be angry with Jordana?

Oh, you mean me.

Yes. No, no. Well, you know, I am.

Yeah, I'm upset.

We should go back to sleep, though.

Yeah.

We're not going to punish you now

but we're going to talk about what you've done.

What about what you've done?

OK, don't push it, Ol.

Well, we'll talk about that too

but you should go back to sleep now, OK?
