# I'll stick with you, kid -

that's the bottom line

# Yeah, you have a lot of fun,

don't you?

# And living with you

is a ball of a time #

(Dog barks)

# Hey, beauty

# When the mood gets you down

# Your bottom lip's

near dragging on the ground

# That's when I gotta

play the clown for you

# Black humour made you... #

Oh. Forgot your key, bro?

Oh. No. We don't own it anymore.

My folks sold it a while back,

but... me and Deano

keep coming here anyway.

Might as well be ours.

- I'll meet you round the front.

# She's a slice of heaven

# Slice of heaven

# Warm moonlight over my horizon

She's a slice of heaven. #

Mm. Feel how fresh the air is, Nige?

- Hey?

- Breathe it in, man.

(Inhales deeply)

(Exhales deeply)

(Nige breathes deeply)

- Smell the fish in the sea here.

- Mm. Sure can.

You OK, bro?

Box of birds.

Hey, Nige, have you ever seen

that ad on the TV -

um... the one with the snowball in it?

Yeah, well... it was saying, like...

like, a problem is like a snowball

rolling downhill really, really fast.

NIGE:
Oh.

Well... I never let my problems

turn into a massive-as snowball.

When I've got something

on my mind, I talk about it.

You know?

And you know you can talk to me anytime,

you know?

And I promise, like,

no subject is taboo.

Hey. Want some kai?

Yeah.

# Slice of heaven

# Slice of heaven

# Warm moonlight over my horizon

She's a... #

It's the most amazing

toasted sandwich I've ever had.

You can taste the caramelised onion, eh?

Oh! Ohhh!

Mmm.

Ohh! Ohhh! Oh.

(Gav clears throat)

Hey... Hey, Deano.

Got some good memories here, eh, Deano?

Yeah, we do, Nige. Yeah, a lot

of good Deano and Nige memories.

Yeah, awesome ones.

All over this stretch of land.

Mmm.

Ka hoki aku whakaaro ki nga wa o mua.

Land of memories.

Yeah. For us.

Yeah, not really for you. Just...

Oi, Nige. Nige. Oi. Nige.

I want to talk to you, alright? Outside.

(Flies buzzing)

He's in there. (Bangs car)

- Eh?

- He's in the boot.

I didn't know how it'd go at first -

like, how I'd handle it.

But... this crazy calm came over me.

And then like this energy,

like my blood was pumping,

like someone stuck

a lightening bolt up my arse.

Like... I was tingling, like...

Still feeling it now, actually.

Eh?

You must feel it too. Like,

life's different for you now, Nige.

How do you mean?

Well... you've had your first kill.

Like, you're a different person.

We both are.

- Crazy power, yeah?

(Nige breathes heavily)

Thought maybe we'd take him

up to Jack's Blowhole, like...

- (Pants) No. Nah. Nah.

- Go up there tonight or...

- F***. F***.

- No-one's gonna be around.

(Breathes heavily)

- Nige.

- Oh, f***!

F***. F***.

Nige? Oi!

(Pants heavily)

Oh. Oh. (Continues panting)

Oi, Nige. Come on.

- Oi, Nige.

(Continues panting)

Oi, snap out of it.

Oi. Nige.

Oi.

- Snap out of it. Snap out of it.

(Nige groans, pants)

It's alright. It's alright.

Come back to me.

- Get off! Agh!

- Deano's here.

Deano's here.

Calm down, crab. Calm down, crab.

I got you. Come back to me.

Yeah.

Yeah. Oh.

All better?

(Sighs)

That was a big one.

(Nige sighs)

(Sniffles, breathes heavily)

Just don't know

if I can handle prison, Deano.

What, mate?

I don't know if I can handle prison.

Mate, you're not going to prison.

Alright?

Got it all sorted.

Just...

Hey, remember first day of school

when you turned up

with that thing on your head

and you looked like a retard?

Remember that? And Jason Farquhar

gave you the bash?

- Yeah.

- Remember?

Yeah.

Who looked after you then?

You did.

F***, yeah. Took care of it.

Remember that necklace

I made with Jason Farquhar's tooth?

That was a sick necklace, wasn't it?

You used to wear that all the time.

You loved it.

Just not gonna let anything bad

happen to you, Nige.

Simple as that.

I'd take a bullet for you.

Yeah?

In the guts,

'cause that's, like, the place

where it takes you the longest to die.

You just bleed out.

- We should get back to Gav.

- No. Why?

(Birds squawk)

(Alarm blares)

DEANO:
Oi, Nige. It's time. Come on.

Hands off snaky.

Oh, f***. Get in the car. Wait there.

Wait there for two seconds.

I'll be back. Get in the car.

(Fly buzzes)

(Grunts, whimpers)

(Whimpers, groans)

(Continues whimpering)

(Shrieks)

What?

You alright? Let's go.

Start the car. Come on. Start the car.

(Engine starts)

DEANO:
Alright. Here we go.

(Bang!)

- Whoa!

F***.

- Hey. What's up?

- Uh...

- Um...

- Why are you fellas sneaking out for?

Nah, nah, we're just... just,

uh, just going to see the penguins.

- What, without me?

- Uh, you were snoring like a pig.

- Thought you wanted to sleep in.

- Yeah, well, I'm awake now.

Just wait. Just two seconds. OK? Wait.

Yeah, alright.

DEANO:
Alright, f***ing go.

NIGE:
Eh?

DEANO:
Go!

NIGE:
Eh?

F***ing drive, Nige.

Oi! Hey! Hey, you fellas!

(Dog barks)

Des. Des. It's Betty Hancock here.

Look at that.

Where is he? What the f*** is...?

He's in the bag.

Mate, took ages to get him in there.

I had to, like,

hit into his waist, like, six times

'cause the spinal cord's,

like, so... it's, like, chewy... almost.

Eh? What the f***?

Yeah, to get him in the bag.

F***, Deano.

Mate, no, no.

Like, if this was in the war, right,

there'd be just people

dying around us all the time.

We'd just be chopping up,

like, all day long

and putting them in bags.

In that situation, you got to think

like that. It's nothing. It's fine.

- Why did you do it?

- Well, to get him in the bag.

Yeah. F***ing I didn't tell you

to cut him up.

Well, how else

am I gonna get him in the bag?

F***, Deano!

Like, so he's got handles.

Oi, oi, Nige. Oi, oi. Don't freak out.

Hey, come here. Come here.

F***!

Nige! Chill!

It's called thinking!

You're f***ing f***ed!

Oi, I did it for you, Nige. So...

Pretty heavy.

(Nige grunts)

Oi, use the hip bits.

I'm sorry, Jeurgen.

Awesome throw, man. Great chuck. Yeah.

Really good distance.

Like, really... Really...

(Sheep bleat)

(Sheep continue bleating)

Shut up.

(Sheep bleat)

Shut up.

Er... (Clears throat)

- Hey, there's Gav.

- Nah, just keep going round the corner.

- Why?

- Just keep going.

- We're not finished, mate.

- Eh?

I wanna go find Gav.

Nah, he's alright. He's a big boy.

He can look after himself.

Nige, there's, um...

I think there's something in your shoe.

In your right shoe.

DEANO:
Oh, look at that.

Remember that?

You used to love that.

You wore it all the time.

That was a long time ago.

So people were always like,

'Where'd you get that? '

You were, like, 'Oh, Deano made it. '

They were like, 'Sick. '

And you'd wear it

and wait for me after detention,

like even if...

...you didn't have a detention,

you'd just wait for me

and... Walk home together.

First year of the flat,

you wore that every day,

like, party central.

It was mad and...

Remember when I shaved an N

into my pubes? Remember?

And we lit that tree

on the golf course on fire
