and say nothing. That's the point!

- Your book ...

- Ah, shut up!

- You know it is.

- Jesus this trip has been like a walk with the

sick-white-Oprah!

You would hate you right now

Thank you

I'm not afraid of failing now

- I don't have to live in ...

- I know

You see my dad was so ...

Yes, I know

- And now the only other person who I

- Yeah, I know

Well, if you're not gonna f***ing listen...

F***ing hell

Don't worry about Jim. It's morphine talking.

This morning he called me Robert ...

You've been f***ing hard, Bill

You're psychotic

- You promised!

- I've gotta get it. It's important

What, more important than this trip?

- Aw, Davy has a phone

- For emergencies

It's not about the phone,

it's about you not wanting to be here

- Alright. Give me the phone!

- Guys, guys, the cart!

Davy! Davy!

- What the f*** are you doing?

- You would have gone over with it!

- I would have got it you twat!

- He just saved your life

You think he likes me more than you,

you whiny poof!

- Why do people keep throwing my stuff in the sea?

- Ok, ok. That.. also was an accident.

The phone was bad. Bad, Davy!

But it's not the end of the world. Miles your

company knows you've gone into the wild

It's not that simple! Everything's f***ed

It's all sh*t and people rely on me

The banks called in the loan

I'm going under

Miles is failing. Are you happy about that?

Boys. Boys!

We have a poblem

We'll just have to camp here till one of us

goes back and gets help

No. We haven't finished the walk

Mate, you weren't doing that much walking,

and your transport's gone!

We'll call your dad. Maybe stay at a B & B

on the mainland and maybe he can ...

- Where's your phone?

- In my bag

Uh. No. I'm afraid it's in my bag... on the cart.

This is un-f***ing-believeable

- There's a kind of amazing natural symmetry to..

- Shut up, Bill.

- Where's the map?

- It's in the cart

- We're going on, it's not far. Il walk it. I can.

- James!

No, Davy! I'm going on. I just want

one night there

If you won't come with me, I'll go on my own.

I have to

I have to.

I'm not finished yet!

We may be closer to the emergency

phone at Barafundle. So...

either that or I run back to the last phone.

Reckon I can jog it in five hours

When did you last run for five hours?

If we go on we should stick together in case we

have to carry him

So should I tell him or let him keep going?

James, stop!

Are you coming to Barafundle?

We are. But it's that way

- Davy

- What?

What do you really think about

what I said to you earlier?

You've no right to talk to me like that. None.

Why didnt you say so in front of the others?

Loyalty you prick

Don't put out the fire with your piss, Bill.

It stinks!

Is this all the gas we have? Bill?

He's asleep

God it's good to see him off the leash.

He's a beautiful, bighearted force of nature

And she crushes every natural urge in him.

It's a horrible relationship

How do you know what he wants?

Abby's pregnant

Oh, f***

Why didn't you say anything?

I wanted to enjoy the walk

- Con .. congratulations ...

- Don't!

I'm not saying it's good news, in the

circumstances, but you'll be a brill...

Is it definitely yours?

- Far as I know.

- And she wants to keep it?

- Baby or not... if she isn't the one...

- Of course she isn't the one!

Then use this as the opportunity to have a

fresh start, Billy...

Shut the F*** up, Jim!

Yeah. It all gets watered down

But I stick to my decisions, however sh*t

And when all my dreams come to nothing,

I'll be around to bloody see it!

You should have told me before!

You should have f***ing told me!

Oh, sh*t.

Man, you really showed that tree ...

- Listen, I'm sorry about your tree

- No, I wouldn't want it any other way

My tree will drift away

and will wash up on some distant shore.

It's perfect

You alright, Davy?

Wait, wait, Miles!

- Jim!

- Are you alright? Breathe

F*** it. We have to get him back.

I'll run on,Bill, you run back

- We might see a boat or... or...

- Shut up, Miles.

- We're fine.

- Bil! Bill!

- This is ridiculous!

- I don't know.

- Jesus!

- You cary Jim for a bit

Don't tell me what to do

- Why?

- You feeling all hard now?! Why?

Because I didn't kick your arse for chucking my

phone in the sea! Because I'm actually right!

Just. Shut. Up!

This isn't about you right now

Pick him up!

- Pick him up!

- F*** you!

Pick him up, you f***ing coward!

- I think we should stop them.

- Yeah well, I know we should but

it's kinda fascinating ...

Alright, let's call it a draw...

I liked the little 'EEEK!' noise you made when

he got you in a head lock

I mean - why are you even here Miles?

We didn't expect you to turn up

This is actually happening

And it hurts. And it's amazing.

I've been around for it all. He needed me

and I was there for him and I'm really sorry

you have such a problem with that

- Davy. You're right

I wasn't gonna come

Your illness disgusts me. It shocks me

I couldn't physically be around it

It's true, I haven't been there for you

I'm sorry

Come on, you bugger

Jesus! Barafundle Bay

Actually do you know what?

This isn't the one I was thinking of...

Thank you

Is there anything so peaceful as the

sound of the ocean?

I'm sorry

Who the f*** am I to tell you how to live

your lives? I mean I was just ...

I'm f***ing your sister

I am totally and utterly in love with her and

I have been for ten years

Sh*t!

I watched her marry Mike and I did nothing.

Have children, let her do her comfortable life

I wanted her. I pursued her. And I got her

My God!

We met up when you got sick. It's... a...

It's ironic, isn't it?

Yeah

One day, soon, she's gonna bring the girls

to my house

We're perfect for each other

James

I knew she had a thing for you but then

every woman does

So what's the big f***ing surprise then?

You can have anyone you wanted. Why her?

You know why

The kids! What about the girls?

- I'm gonna take care of them

- Oh, God! When were you gonna

tell me any of this?

- You weren't gonna tell me

- No

- Do you want my blessing?

- No. I'll do it anyway

- Yeah

- Yeah

James, listen. Listen!

There is one thing that my father said to me

that is bigger than everything. And anyone

And if I was any son of his,

I'll figure out what it is

I have

I hope it works out for you

There is no ribbon to tie around it all is there?

I thought I was ready. Now I ...

I look at Bill and I think

If I could get through another nine months

Hold on long enough to see Chloe

sorted out with or without ...

I'm leaving early. And it all goes on without me

The strange thing is - this is what I was

most afraid of.

But now it's ...

It's a relief, Milo

Such a bloody relief!

How's the book?

I think it's more interesting with half the

page missing

I'm going for a swim

- Your mom said ...

- I know

Tomorrow, I'm gonna swim out into the middle

of the bay and I'm not coming back.

I know the enormity of this, and I am asking you
