The Dream Children Page #4

Synopsis: Troubled TV personality Steven Evans struggles to find meaning in his life in the face of the superficial world he has created. Smothered by celebrity and materialism, Steven's only respite is through solitary visits to the ocean and shallow sexual encounters with the acquaintances that orbit his life. When his long-term partner hurls him headfirst into fatherhood, Steven's initial reluctance is gradually replaced with love, as he discovers, in his new family, a bond stronger than any he has experienced before. But the return of an unexpected visitor triggers off a series of events that thrusts Steven and his family into a cycle of loneliness, self-destruction and grief.

F*** you, I'm not

doing anything wrong.

Why are you running

away for, then?

Huh?

'F*** you!

F*** it.

[music playing]

What?

ALEX (INTO CAMERA): Well, here

we are, building-building a...

Oh, can you behave?

Can you actually

walk normal, please?

[laughs]

[chattering]

ALEX (INTO CAMERA): Excuse me.

Excuse me, what...

What's your name?

Uh, Brett.

ALEX (INTO CAMERA): Brett?

All right.

I'm Alex.

How are you doing?

- Good.

ALEX (INTO CAMERA):

How's it all going?

Like, how far away do you think

we are from... from moving in?

Eh, [inaudible] right now,

almost for lock up, so...

ALEX (INTO CAMERA): Yep.

Your feet... you've

got very nice calves.

[laughing]

ALEX (INTO CAMERA):

ls it... do you...

Are you serious?

ALEX (INTO CAMERA): No, you do!

Are you commenting on my calves?

ALEX (INTO CAMERA): Yeah!

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

You do.

I mean, I'm just- I'm just

saying, like you must...

Do you work out outside this, or

is this sort of the job that...

Uh, I play footy, so...

ALEX (INTO CAMERA):

Oh, you play football?

Yeah, yeah.

ALEX (INTO CAMERA):

With lots of guys...

This our view.

Our view.

It's a good spot.

It's a great spot.

Wait, what do I say...

You head's in the way.

Listen, Ocean Grove

will be a great spot.

You were right.

ALEX (INTO CAMERA):

Come on, say something.

Come on, this is, uh...

This is your project.

Come on, tell us a

little bit about it.

For developing these plans,

we thank you for doing this,

because we couldn't have...

Thank you guys for

paying me so much...

ALEX (INTO CAMERA):

Kiss... kiss the camera.

I've grossly overcharged you...

I'm not kissing the camera.

ALEX (INTO CAMERA): Tell us

how much you love this project

by kissing the camera.

We want to see commitment!

OK, all right!

[chattering]

Alex, you're going to have to

design those bathrooms quickly.

One in white, and

one pink for the baby.

Alex!

You know how my

designs are in demand.

Originality...

And imagination linked

with practicability.

Yeah, yeah.

Yeah, this is nothing

to do with design.

It's to do with

legality and gender.

Yeah, well, our

gender is our design,

and we have a design problem.

Look, all we have to

do is find some way

to make our money more

important to these people

than our design.

- What'!

Yeah.

You want to bribe

the adoption agency?

Well, I want to make

it worth their while.

This isn't f***ing

television, Alex!

You- you can't

offer them a price

and expect to make a deal.

And have you even

thought whether or not

you'll love the baby?

Of course I'll love

the baby, Steve.

- Will you?

- Yes.

You... you expect just to look

at a baby and say, I love you?
