Oh yeah that would be lovely.

Yeah no that's great.

That's great and it's handy. It's definitely.

And useful...because you know dentist. They're useful people...

- Shut up!

What about you?

Oh God, no, no, no...

You don't want to hear me.

- I can barely speak English. My French is like a f***ing strangled cow.

- No. Where would you go?

Oh I do not know. The Moon!

- Be serious.

- Oh I am.

Actually I've got one.

Mon hovercraft...

...est plein de poissons. My hovercraft is full of fish.

But that's it. That's all you get the show's over, lady.

Stop.

Come on it's fun. It's like the ultimate fantasy.

I'd stay here then.

Yeah, I'm sorry I had to swing by the house.

and pick up the case. I'll be over there in about fifteen.

Alright take care.

Oh I've got another call coming through.

Cheers.

Hi, you've reached Dave from Boat Works.

I'm unable to take your call right now.

but please leave a message.

I'll get back to you. Thanks.

Yeah David, John Canane from

the FPA just trying again.

I'm not sure if you got any of my messages.

Just hoping you can give me a call as soon as you're able.

My number again is 0414666131. Thank you.

That's at the airport just before we left.

- Thanks Jim.

- Thank you.

Oh your sister is very attractive.

I can see why he's so taken with her.

Did you see this one Jim?

I'm sorry, we need to be left alone. Right now.

Thanks for coming.

Hey! Hey, what are you doing?

What do you want?!

Hi...um...I'm a friend of Jeremy's.

You get to go home to your kids.

and...and your wife...and your f***ing life.

I don't have...anything.

I don't have anyone...

...that I can talk to.

Everyone just acts like I don't exist.

And you guys...you guys...you just treat

me like I am some piece of dirt...

...you want swept under the carpet.

But you know what? You were there to.

You are just as responsible as I am.

Listen, no one is responsible for anything for a start.

He didn't see anything.

How do you keep knowing that for sure?

You...you...

F*** I don't... I don't know anymore.

It's all that makes sense. I mean he must...

He must have seen us.

Nothing else makes any sense.

I don't know what to do. This is driving me...

...crazy.

How do you know that?

How do you know for certain?

Alice!

If I could just give you my card.

Get him to give me a call. Yeah?

Yeah, sure.

Sorry to bother you again.

No, that's okay.

Is there anything that I can do to help?

Just, get him to call me.

- I'd appreciate it.

- Okay.

Has there been any news?

Nothing like that. No.

I'm sorry.

- Good night.

- Good night.

Guys! I've asked you to please

wash your hands and get ready for dinner.

Guys! Now! Do it now!

And I want all of that stuff put back

in my room where you found it.

Now! Please go!

I'm sure you've got more really important places to be right now

but I actually needed that chicken twenty minutes ago

so if you don't mind I could do with some help here.

Max! Give that to me.

I told you to put everything back in my room. Go!

Go!

Go now!

I'm really sorry.

Something really weird happened to me.

Al?

Did they go down okay?

Is that the chicken?

Al, I want us to talk about...

I do not know...

Well I been thinking about that we could move out of this place.

Somewhere bigger.

Before the baby comes.

Well I've been thinking about it for a while actually.

You know I think it would be better now

rather than...you know...

...when you got your hands full with the baby and everything.

Alice.

Because Alice, if the guy comes around to our house...

- ...I'm thinking he gave your a card...

- So call the number.

I will.

He must of said something.

I'm really sorry.

No it's fine. I've just been...

I'm really sorry. This is so silly of me.

Hi, you've called Jeremy King

of Knight Market Imports.

I am overseas until the nineteenth,

but if you leave a message...

MISSING PERSONS.

Australian tourist missing from a remote

Cambodian holiday destination remains unaccounted...

The Department of Foreign Affairs now holds grave concerns...

You have new mail...

From:
Steph, Subject: Sorry, at work :(

Got your missed call - couldn't ring back -

boss on war path...

thanks for yesterday's little pick-me-up - I really needed it. :))

I do want to help you as much as I can.

Good.

But I figure I've told you everything I know.

Sure, well look you know...it's really just routine.

I mean we're always like that.

Checking. Triple check some of the smaller details.

See what comes up.

And has anything come up?

Well, we're having a look at Mr. King's business dealings

prior to his trip away.

Oh right.

Yeah, he never spoke to you about any of his work?

His line of work over there?

No, well I didn't know him that well.

It was just that week but we never...

we never really spoke about business.

Sure.

So...

...works going alright for you then? Is it?

- Yeah...yeah.

- Yeah?

You have boats...G.F.C and all that?

It's not affecting you guys too badly then?

It's actually been...very steady.

Alright. Well, you'll give me a call if

anything does come to mind?

Of course. Definitely.

Because you're a hard man to get a hold of, Dave.

Yeah...

Look, I am...I'm very sorry.

It has been very busy.

Yeah well...busy is good.

Always a good thing to be busy.

What's been going on? I've...

What?

- Gave in to her flirtations...

- I am not talking about that.

I am telling you the truth!

I don't understand what I've done wrong.

She...she turns up, right?

What do you want me to do?

Do you want me to go f***ing hide in a bar or something?

I don't know...

...but it seems like you've always got someone else to blame.

Listen, she is also happens to be family.

- Yeah!

- Right and she does...she needs somebody.

She's family. Yeah, exactly.

I don't know what this is about.

This is about the fact that you are keeping things from me.

- I don't know who you are anymore.

- What things?

- I don't know what to believe!

- Alice, what things?

F*** I don't know. I don't give a...

Alright, you are aware of what you're doing with that?

Aren't you?

F***.

Alice, listen. I'm not...

...having an affair with your sister.

Where were you last night?

I tried to tell you that. I tried...

Well, I missed it. Tell me again.

I was having some kind of panic attack.

- Panic Attack?

- Yes, I do not know...

I was completely freaking out and

I couldn't even drive my car....

...and I couldn't even move.

What am I meant to make of that?

A panic attack that you have never had.

A f***ing panic attack in your whole life.

Alright now, you've f***ing made your point with that.
