The Ballad of Jack and Rose Page #3
- No, no... - Oh, that's cooked
food for the chickens
and that's raw food for the compost and
the big one... metal and plastic, paper.
- You'll get the hang of it.
- Yeah. OK.
Any questions about
the house, ask Rose.
One of you can sleep in
here for the time being,
and the other one's on the couch until
we get one of the outbuildings fixed up.
- That's fine.
- Is that all right with you?
- Mm-hm.
- It's so quiet in here.
It's like the inside of a can.
Hey, where's the TV?
No TV.
Are you working at
the moment, Rodney?
I've been studying to be
a women's hairdresser.
What brought you to that?
Erm...
I always wanted to be a barber,
but men don't get enough
pleasure out of their hair.
Did you do er...?
Kathleen.
- Yeah. Her hair?
- No, I didn't do Kathy's hair.
herself as being 16 years old.
- Oh, Rodney!
- I'm sure if I cut her hair off,
she would have a
breakdown of some kind.
How do you make your money?
I inherited the family business
when my father died, so I sold it.
- Oh. So you're loaded? - I don't think
- Mom said you were an engineer.
- That's what I studied.
- Er... alternative energy.
- You got your degree in England?
Scotland, but I've been
Naturalised citizen,
God help me.
Why did you do it, then?
Because I fell in love with this country,
or... what I thought it was going to become.
You've got one more year
of school left, is that right?
- Yeah, I guess so. - I was expelled
in the last year of high school.
Why?
For defecating in the thirteenth
hole of the school golf course.
- Your school had a golf course?
- He's doing real well in school.
- Is that for me?
- Yeah, sweetie. It's a cheese sandwich.
I haven't seen one
like that since 1953.
- I'll be right back.
- OK.
Sorry.
Rose...
Don't make me bloody
They're not guests.
They're moving in!
They're guests, until we see.
Just see how it works out.
- They brought everything!
- Everything?
I've got to admit,
those lamps were shocking.
Look, it's just an
experiment, Rosie.
Let's just try it for a while
to see how it works out.
God forbid, you might even
end up wanting them to stay!
- You tricked me!
- It was a spur-of-the-moment decision.
She's so regular.
Kathleen, her name is,
by the way.
That's the whole point.
She'll take care of things.
- I took care of things!
- We took care of things. Now I'm sick.
How long have you
been lying to me?
How could you
not have told me?
I didn't think you'd understand.
I don't.
Hey, little freak.
