a baby skunk to me. [Caitlin chuckles] -[chuckling]

-[Milo] Hey, stop. [Brand] Is that the kind of

impression you want to make? Answer me. -Caitlin didn't care.

-Really? Well, Caitlin wasn't the one, making a fool of herself, soaked to the skin on a

trampoline, was she? While you were busy acting

the idiot, she was busy

laughing at you. -No she wasn't.

-Yes she was, I could hear

her from the house. Caitlin isn't like that. Do we really know her? Look. [sighs] every time people find out

something, negative about you, they'll judge you for it. Everyone does it. That's why, we have to be so careful about

how we present ourselves. All the time. Do you understand? Do you? Hurry up sweetheart. He's letting you flog his base,

he must be losing his touch. [Brand] What's that

supposed to mean? Buying in to what you do,

selling that nonsense

over the internet. -Dad I have explained this to--

-I know better than

a carpet beggar. Nadia, darling, pour me some

more of that, will you? [Brand] Martha Stewart,

is she a carpet beggar? [grandad] Who? Never heard

of her, i-is she Irish? [Brand] No dad, she's American. And she's built a multi-billion

dollar enterprise based on

exactly the same principle. I suppose all these people out

there, who want to be screwed. Worse part is, you believe in

that feng shui orchid yourself. Feng shui. So... How's your photography

coming along champ? Haven't taken any grandad. You haven't lost interest,

have you? No. It's just... My cameras are confiscated

for two weeks. Are they? Not to worry. I'll dig out my old SLR for you. -And, how's school?

-[Milo] We're on mid-term. Everybody's going on the

school camping trip. They're leaving tomorrow. But I'm not allowed to go. -O-Of course you are.

-No, he's not. We have other plans. What other plans? There's nothing more important

for a boy his age. God, I remember the cold,

the snuggling up, the kiss chases,

building fires in the woods, I coopt my first real feel

for Christ sakes. He is going, no argument. How much? It said four hundred

on the form. Here, I have... Four and another hundred, to spend on the women,

on one condition. You send me a post card

when you get there. Thanks grandad Give me the money, Milo. -Give it to me now.

-It's my money,

he gave it to me. -Mom.

-[Nadia] You must do

as your father says. -But it's not fair.

-[Nadia] Maybe, but what

you did was wrong. [speaks Romanian] [speaks Romanian] [door opens in distance] [yells] [Nadia] And we think he's

on the bus to school camp. If anybody picks up this message

please contact us immediately. Thank you. [Nadia] Answer phone
