Griff the Invisible Page #2

---

Yarrr!

No! Aargh!

Sorry, Gary.

Hi, Griff.

How's your brother?

S-same.

That's good.

Has, um... has he got a girlfriend?

Yep.

Ah!

Griff.

Hmm?

Can you pop in for a word?

Do you want to tell me

what's going on?

It's nothing, Gary. Sorry.

Doesn't look like nothing.

Are you on drugs?

What? No.

Girl trouble?

Do you owe someone money?

No, it's nothing like that, Gary.

Sorry.

What happened, Griff?

You started out so strong.

I know.

You've dropped the ball.

Have you dropped the ball?

No, I haven't.

Know what I think?

You're making yourself a target.

I think you're making yourself

MORE visible

when you should be

trying to be INvisible.

How? How do you mean?

Well, Griff.

I see how people look at you.

And... Well, this is hard to say.

But when you hide

and you don't interact,

well, you come across a bit odd.

Invisible.

People notice you

even more, ironically.

You gotta chat to people. Like I do.

I mean, I'm a bit odd too.

But I just go around...

I'm chatting to people all the time.

And the amazing thing is

after a while of acting normal,

you BECOME normal.

It's like an accent. I mean...

If I was

to start talking

in an American accent all the time,

I'd become an American - right?

Just don't give that goose... fuel.

The only way to make him back off

is to beat him at his own game.

Act normal!

And then you can

get on with becoming

the best client liaison we've got.

And you could be.

Yes!

Invisible Man.

Hello, Griff.

Doing some painting?

Of course. Sorry.

So, that it?

Do you know anything

about... invisible ink?

No. Nup.

I... I think you can use

baking soda, though.

Do you have any?

Put it on the tab.

Can I have that receipt, please?

You didn't see me.

Mmm! This is nice, Mel. What is it?

Um, shark.

Flake.

Which is shark.

Uh, so, Tim... uh, Melody

tells me you have a brother.

Griff. That's right.

Griff?

Mmm.

I know a Griff. Comes into the shop.

Came in today, actually. Odd chap.

Darling.

Um, that's probably him.

Always leaves with

"You didn't see me. "

That's definitely him.

Hope he's no trouble?

No, no, not at all.

Is he older or younger?

Huh! Younger. In every sense.

Ugh! Oop!

Actually, um,

he's the reason Melody and I met.

Well, indirectly, I suppose.

Um, I was living in Adelaide.

And I had to come back

because Griff lost his job

and was in need of

a big brother again.

So, um, I got a transfer.

And now he's OK again.

And then I went to

that Chinese restaurant.

You know what happened there.

You're not going back

to Adelaide, are you?

Um, maybe. We'll see.

You'd want to stay here,

though, if, say...

Oop! Ha.

...you and Melody got married.
