The Dream Children Page #6

Synopsis: Troubled TV personality Steven Evans struggles to find meaning in his life in the face of the superficial world he has created. Smothered by celebrity and materialism, Steven's only respite is through solitary visits to the ocean and shallow sexual encounters with the acquaintances that orbit his life. When his long-term partner hurls him headfirst into fatherhood, Steven's initial reluctance is gradually replaced with love, as he discovers, in his new family, a bond stronger than any he has experienced before. But the return of an unexpected visitor triggers off a series of events that thrusts Steven and his family into a cycle of loneliness, self-destruction and grief.

Well, um, come and have

a drink with us, yeah?

Share your stories about

the life in the pearl

of the civilized world, eh?

Great.

OK.

Well, well.

Hm!

Any other travel secrets

you'd like to share?

Yeah, how is New York

at this time of year?

New York, New York!

Where else are you going?

Bahamas next?

[laughing]

God, what is wrong with

both of you tonight?

Come on, it's something.

Oh!

Shots, maybe?

God, Gus has got more life in

bed than both of you, honestly.

And that's after a few beers.

Like a bunch of dead fish.

Mm!

Bugger, don't worry about them.

So tell me more

about this dinner

party we're going to have.

Well, I was thinking

seafood-themed.

No!

I'm over seafood.

Let's do Greek.

[music fades]

[moaning on tv]

[baby crying]

Oh, f*** off.

F***, kid, if you

don't f***ing shut up,

I'll f***ing shut you up!

Never mind him, Jakey.

[baby crying]

[pounding on door]

I'm trying to

f***ing listen, kid!

F***ing shut up,

What's the f***ing

matter with you?

F*** off!

[pounding on door] What is

your f***ing sh*t... f***ing

give him nothing!

F*** you, kid!

F*** and do that all

f***ing day, too, you know!

Leave him the f*** alone, Jakey!

I could f***ing do it all

f***ing day, longer than you,

you f***ing kid!

You f***ed up kid!

Whaa!

Whaa!

[whirring noise]

He's not going to let Sam

go for any single amount.

He's got the perfect

blackmail scenario now.

Each time he goes broke,

he's going to threaten

to tell the world about us.

I could f***ing kill the c*nt.

I will f***ing kill the c*nt.

Alex, listen.

I'll f***ing kill him.

It's not the end of the world.

I mean, we could take a break.

I... I could have a nervous

breakdown or something,

you know'?

We'll go away.

Why would you care?

You know, he stole our baby,

and you want to take a holiday?

I mean...

How could just say that?

You're the one that wants

to go off to the west indies!

He's my son!

Your son?

[stammers] Our son.

Don't you think I know that?

I don't know!

I've lost my son, too.

Oh, you didn't lose him.

No, no, no.

You paid that prick to take him.

You let him go, you

f***ing tipped like you

were tipping one of your

f***ing waiter friends

for good service.

- Oh, f*** you.

You're a f***ing joke.

F*** you!

You're a f***ing joke!

Nobody made him.

Nobody forced.

You did!

He wasn't even ours.

He was never ours.

I want you to leave.

Get out.

Get the f*** out!

[sobbing]

Hey, Kimber, sweetheart.

Me?

I want to get messy.

I want to get f***ed up.

MAN (ON INTERCOM):

Yeah, come up.

[snorting]

What the f*** happened?

I've had a f*** few days.

Sit.

I don't think I

can go home tonight.

I... I don't think I can go home.

We had a fight.

[snorting]

Over what?

Family.

[scoffs] Oh, that one.

Yeah, always gives

me the twitch.

Me too.

[inaudible] I don't

know, I need more.

I just-I don't know.

Steven, it is OK to

not want to settle down.

OK'?

You are allowed to just

give a f*** about yourself.

I mean, babies

aren't for everyone.

We knew we had to be careful.

He should respect who you are.

F***ing Alex.

Hey!

Stop worrying about him.

Worry about you, mate.

[heavy breathing]

Listen, Tim...

What?

[struggling] Stop!

Stop!

F***... what the f***, Steven?

Get the... get the f*** out!

[door slams]

Morning.

I lost my keys.

Where'd you go last night?

No... don't tell me.

I'm sorry.

[ragged breathing]

[sobbing] I miss you both.

[tv static]

[nuzzling] There's

something I need you to do.

[inaudible] Hey, you

got to go for me.

I can't go to them, Jakey.

[Sighs]

I can't.

F*** off.

Just get the...

Listen to me, don't

Eh'?

You f***ing hit me'?

F***ing try.

(LOUDLY) F***ing try it again!

F***ing try it again!

As if I want f***ing petty cash.

Does it f***ing

Don't f***ing [inaudible] back.

I want 100 grand...

How the f*** am I meant

to ask for that much money?

don't give it to me?

[sobbing]

What did we get the kid for?

What did we get the kid for?

I have to take him with me,

otherwise they won't give me...

You f***ing won't f***ing

take him with you!

You f***ing b*tch!

You f***ing don't come back!

You f***ing don't come back

or I'll f***ing stitch him...

[screaming]

[inaudible]

Please don't hurt him!

Into Sam.

I'll f***ing stick one into you.

If you don't f***ing

You f***ing [inaudible]

[interposing voices]

[static gets louder]

[scream]

Oy, squid lips, get your

hand off it, we're on.

F*** me, Kimber!

You're going to force

us into a later time

slot dressed like that.

I love it!

Well, if you think

it's too much,

maybe you should come

and dress me next time.

Well, unfortunately, my

specialty is undressing,

isn't it, sweetheart'?

Hm, that works as well.

No thanks.

[squeaking]

Come on, you don't

footage of Steven Evans'

wild sex romp in Melbourne

that everybody's talking about

and that Channel 4

Let's take a look.

[moaning]

You never know who's

F***ing bullshit!

F*** you!

[baby crying]

[voices on tv]

What the f***?

How the f***'?

How did you f***ing get that?

Holy sh*t!

Shut up, Sammy.

Don't worry, baby.

It'll be all right.

[baby crying]

NARRATOR (ON TV): The embryo

is now starting to take shape.

F***.

F***ing [inaudible].

NARRATOR (ON TV): The

top... The trunk of the body

stretches down below.

The head doesn't look

much like a head yet.

But at day 15, nerve

cells begin to form

in what will become

the brain, as

well as in the spinal column...
