The Square

What time is it?

Are you trying to get me into trouble?

Yeah, if he turns up,

he can go back home. Righto.

- Hey, Jake.

- Raymond.

Morning, Gil.

Thought you were on holidays.

Is everything...

Love is blind, Ray.

We're building a honeymoon resort,

not the Palazzo de f***ing Gucci.

Yeah, I know, Gil.

Good bed to f*** on.

The rest doesn't matter.

What's this about designer fittings?

Better not be too late to retract.

Well, I've got them down

to your target price.

I tell you, Ray, in six months time,

couples rooting in their Jacuzzis

won't know the pains

that went through for this swamp.

All right. Get on with it.

All right, so, it's just a square?

To start with,

but I want you to do the whole site.

It's a decent whack of concrete.

Come on, I'll show you.

So, you're cutting deals now, mate?

It's a bit of a surprise.

You saving up for something special?

So, this stays between us, obviously.

Yep.

Listen, Barney, you said thirty grand

kicks back to me. Is that cash?

Yep.

- Hey, Charlie.

- Gidday, boss.

Forty. Make it 40,

and I'll award you the contract right here.

Wendy, I'll pick up those towels

tomorrow on the way in.

Okay, great. Thank you.

There you are.

I've been calling.

Have you had your phone off?

No. I had a meeting.

You know we're at

Jake and Jenny's tonight?

Okay.

- Ray?

- Yeah?

Since when do you do your own washing?

Found this at the bottom of your closet.

What is it, sweetheart?

Hey?

What's the matter, darling?

Ray!

Hello?

Hello!

It's just me, babe.

How was your day?

You all right in there?

What are you doing?

- What?

- I said what are you doing?

How's Mum?

Yeah, she's fine. Kept her company

till your sister came home.

Righto. I'm going to have a shower.

What happened to your hand?

You know, just a bit of mischief.

Carla!

You gonna get that?

Gidday. Is this your dog?

- Yeah, mate, yeah.

- It is? Right.

- Where was he?

- He was in the backyard.

He must have taken a swim.

I'm Ray Yale, by the way.

Yeah, Ray. Greg Smith. How're you doing?

Yeah, not too bad. I'm just across the river.

Good on you.

All right, all yours.

All right. Thanks for that.

Must have got out the side or something.

- Yeah, no worries.

- Yeah, cheers.

Who was that?

- Why didn't you answer it?

- I was out the back.

Blokes are here.

You want to put some food on for us?

I'll be there in a sec.

Good on you.

If I'm paying someone to go down and

have a look, what will they charge you?

A thousand bucks? All I'm saying is,

you could have one to keep

for the same price.

What, a f***ing shark or a shark cage?

No, a shark cage. Shark.

What, so you're saying

you've just got to make it out of

your standard everyday

hardware screen door, mate?

Not screen. F***, no.

Security doors. High grade security doors.

You weld four of them together.

They seem to keep a great white out, easy.

Yeah, mate, 'cause the last time

a couple of f***ing great whites

tried to get through

my f***ing front door, mate,

it fixed them right up, I can tell you.

It would. It would.

F*** spending that. Two days, two nights.

No f***ing way. For the same price,

you can have a shark cage for life.

Why don't you just take

your caravan down there?

There's this guy, Eddie,

and his friend, Leonard.

Whenever they're around,

there is always something going on.

But it's never been this big.

What are you talking about?

Close your eyes.

Keep them closed.

There's fifty times that.

We have to take it, Ray. We have to take it.

What?

You do it.

One night when we're out, and then we go.

Or I go. You follow later, when it's safe.

Hang on. Where did you get it from?

Well, think about it. It's cash.

It can't be decent.

Which is why taking it is a bad idea.

What if you ransacked the place?

I can't ransack your place.

Well, then, we get someone else to do it.

I know we can find someone like that.

Well, no, it's not just that.

It's just that, you know,

I mean, you'd have to burn the place down

if you really wanted this money to disappear.

Hey, I'm joking.

- I'm not.

- Carla...

Ray, can't you see? This is our chance.

Carla, you're talking about

a really serious crime.

Well, it's not like

we would be hurting anybody.

What?

Carla, no. No.

God, it's all talk, isn't it?

- What is?

- You and me,

and going away, and leaving your wife.

No, no, that's not right, Carla.

Right. It's all bullshit.

- If this is about money...

- It's not about money.

I want... I want you to do something.

Something.

Because for months it's been,

"Not now. We can't go yet.

"Just wait a little bit longer."

Carla. Carla, wait, wait, wait. Look, wait.

Carla, what you're suggesting is...

"And the bad news," he says,

"is you've got 24 hours to live."

And the guy says, "Well,

what the bloody hell's the good news?"

The doctor says, "You see that

young receptionist there on your way in?"

The guy says, "Yeah."

"The good news is I'm f***ing her."

That's a good one.

Hey, guess what, Ray?

You see that young receptionist in there?

The good news is...

- What about Lauren?

- It's just a bit of fun.

Yeah. So, did you get the check okay?

- Yeah.

- Good, good, good.

Look, what's the possibility of me

getting some of my cut up front on this?

- Well, how much are we talking here, Ray?

- Well, all of it if possible.

But, you know, half or... Well, yeah, half.

Got to watch the quiet ones, huh?

Yeah, nah, you're sweet.

- All right.

- I'll come by your office, yeah?

Thanks, mate.

- So there's your problem, mate.

- What?

- See this crack?

- Yeah.

Well, I don't stock these,

but I can order one in for you.

- Have it back in operation for you by Friday.

- Right.

- Well?

- Well, what?

Would you like me to go ahead

and order it, or...

No, I'd like you to be able to fix things like

that on the spot like you're supposed to.

Well, that doesn't answer my question.

Yes, make it.

And, mate, don't leave your ute

just sitting there, blocking everything.

Sorry about that.

- Hello?

- Carla, it's me. We need to talk about this.

What are you doing, Ray?

I'm outside the house.

Listen, I am doing something.

I've been getting

some money together, so we...

Ray, please don't call me anymore.

Carla, wait. You...

- Gidday.

- Gidday, mate. How're you going?

- Not bad.

- Been up to his old tricks again, huh?

Yeah, yeah.

Must have some bullshit

dog food at your house.

Yeah, that's true.

Breakdown on Fuller Road.

Yeah, why don't you try

closing the side gate?

Don't live in a tent. Bye.

Cheers.

Yeah, mate...

- I know someone who can help us.

- Forget it, Ray.

- No, I'm serious.

- Go home.

No, I'll do it. We can take the money.

But if we're going to do it, I just...

I just need to know that...

Are you sure?

Hello.

Chris. You Chris?

Sit down.

Wipe the guilty look off your face.

Relax. This is just a lunch with friends.

We're all friends of Roger's, so...

Let me talk you through it first.

We don't talk about this or that out loud,
