There's tools in the

laundry.

You sure you know what you're

doing?

Yeah, I'm fine. Thanks.

[foreign language on TV]

[aerobic TV show] [inaudible]

Four, three, two,

let's go!

Pull it back.

Use those arms. Squeeze your

shoulder blades!

[phne ringing]

- Hey, do you have a mop somewhere?

- [on phone] Ah near the back stairs.

- What's happened? Is everything okay?

- Everything's fine.

[on phone] Listen, Mik, you can't keep

calling me. I'm not supposed to take calls.

Okay, sorry.

[water running]

[moaning]

[groaning] F***!

[phone ringing]

- [on phone] Hello?

- Hi.

- [on phone] Who's this?

- Oh, it's Mik.

[on phone] Oh, Mik, what's

up?

Nothing much. Just, just saying

hi.

[on phone]

Are you okay?

- What are you doing?

- [on phone] Just studying.

Got a free day.

Do you want to maybe hang out?

Do you want to go find somewhere

to sit?

So have you thought about

getting a job or anything

now that school is over?

- I'm sort of working in my

uncle's shop

until Dan finishes and

then we f*** off up north.

Oh yeah. He told me about that.

What did he say?

Just that you guys are thinking

about going up the coast to work.

Thinking about it?

So how come you guys

ditched me the other night?

[camera shutter]

We didn't!

We looked for you, but I had to get

back before my parents lost it.

- What, you think it was me?

- Maybe.

Mik, you're sort of in love

with him, aren't you?

What?

F***! No.

- Are you?

- No. He's my best friend.

- Have you ever been with a girl before?

- Yeah, heaps.

Okay, no!

So what?

So why not?

Do you like girls?

Yeah, sure.

Try it.

What?

It's okay.

Not like that.

Here.

[heavy breathing]

I have to go.

Mikls.

That was nice!

Jesus Christ!

[door opening]

Hey, man.

Was wondering when you

were going to reappear.

- How've you been?

- Where you going?

I'm meeting Phaedra.

I was going to give you a call.

She asked me to invite you over.

- What, me?

- Yeah, and me, d*ckhead.

Just to hang out, the three of

us.

- Her folks are away this weekend.

- No, man. Maybe you just go.

Come on, man.

I really want you to like her.

No, I'm not into it.

She makes me feel like I've got

a future.

Maybe this isn't as serious

for her as it is for you, man.

- I mean is it?

- Why?

You don't think she likes me?

No, it's not that.

- It's just-

- Sh*t, man. I've got to go.

- Man, I have to tell you something.

- Later, bro.

I'd drop you home

but I'm late as it is, right?

Think about the weekend.

F***!

I sent you yesterday to fix it up and

then you disappear for I don't know what.

If it's not this, it's

that!

I've had it!

- What were you thinking?

- I...

- I had problems with the truck.

- You couldn't call?

It's too late for that!

Where is your head?

You are ruining the business!

What sort of life can you give your

family without me to help you?

- Who else would hire you?

- Hey, leave him alone!

And look at your son, huh?

The one that's still here!

He dresses like his dead brother

so that you will notice him.

But your head is too far up

your ass to even see!

Shut the f*** up!

- Mikls.

- What?

Are you going to say watch

your mouth? F*** you too.

[slaps]

I can't think of anything worse

than being stuck here with you

two for the rest of my life!

I want nothing to do with you

or your f***ing hardware store.

You're supposed to be

brothers, for f***'s sake!

At least you still have each

other.

- Mikls!

- No! F*** off!

Anything you need? Anything

you want?

You see, maybe I can get some

Coke?

How's it going?

I haven't seen you around here

before.

Not very chatty?

Are you lost, little fella?

No.

Why don't you come hang out with

us? We're just down the street.

No. Come on, let's leave him

alone.

- Leave him alone.

- Do you want to come and get on it with us?

[laughs]

[music]

What have you got?

Oh, that Spanish foot guy is on.

Wants to see the new guy's feet.

- No, no, no!

- Hey!

It's fine. He just likes feet.

[typing]

[bing]

Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait,

wait, wait, wait, wait!

Don't give it away for free!

[laughs]

[bing]

Okay, go!

[laughs]

Nice f***ing socks, man!

[laughs]

Is she okay?

Yeah, she's fine.

Hey...

[bing]

[bing]

30 tokens for us to kiss.

[laughs]

[kissing]

[bing]

[laughing]

Cha-ching!

Thank you!

[bing]

30 more if you two take your

shirts off.

[kissing]

[bing]

Okay, Benny boy.

300 if we get naked and f***!

Ha! What a romantic, huh?

Hey! It's-Where are you going?

Huh?

[kissing]

[phone vibrating]

[on phone]

Hey, where are you?

What?

[on phone] I think I just totally

stuffed my English exam.

- What time is it?

- [on phone] F***, are you just waking up?

Wish I had your life! It's

nearly two.

- Sh*t!

- [on phone] Almost done!

- Are you still going to Phaedra's?

- [on phone] Yeah.

- Is it still okay if I come?

- [on phone] Yeah, man. Of course.

That'd be awesome. You at

Annuska's?

- Ah... Yeah.

- Cool.

[on phone] Okay, hey, I've

gotta go. See you later.

[door closes]

[unzips]

[train passing]

[music]

[camera shutter]

[splash]

[laughs]

Animals!

Leave some water in the pool!

[splashes]

Nice bikini.

You like it?

Don't pull me in! I don't

want to get my hair wet!

I'm serious! Don't pull me in!

I don't want to get my hair wet!

Ohhh!

[splashing]

Don't get water in the house,

Mik!

[laughter]

We can't just disappear!

Why did you bring him? I thought it

was just going to be me and you.

Well, he's been alone

a lot lately and I just-

And I want you guys

to like each other.

I feel like he doesn't

like us hanging out.

Yeah, well he'll just have

to get used to it!

[kissing]

Hey there.

Where's Phaedra?

She's getting dressed.

Was it fun?

Dude, her tits are amazing.

- I think I'm in love, man.

- Just go easy, man.

Why?

I just think that you

may be more into it than she is.

Don't do this.

- There's something that you need to know.

- This is f***ing bullshit, man.

You're supposed to be my best

friend. And you just do that?

Okay, things are different. Maybe I'm not

in such a hurry to take off right now.

Are you f***ing for real?

Hey, what's going on?

We're just talking.

- You want some more beers?

- Yeah, I'll go.

Thanks, Mik!

[pissing]

[music]

[gasps]

[in background] Hail Mary, full of grace.

The lord is with thee.

Blessed art thou among

women,

and blessed is the fruit of

thy womb, Jesus.

Holy Mary, Mother of God

...

[in background] Pray for us sinners

now and at the hour of our death.

Amen.

Hail Mary, full of grace.

The lord is with thee.

Blessed art thou among

women,

and blessed is the fruit of

thy womb...

Mikls.

[in background] Jesus. Holy

Mary, Mother of God...

[in background] Pray for us sinners

now and at the hour of our death.

Amen.

Hail Mary full of grace

...

[splashes]

Tomi...

F***ing stink bugs back again.

Tomi!

We thought you were dead!

- That was a mistake, wasn't it?

- Yeah.

Pa. It was just a mistake.
