want you leaving the house.

What things? What situation?

Well...

it's the grand final this weekend.

Footballers from Winyerp

will be coming

with their filthy boots

and their foul language.

Not coming into my house?

No, no, no. In the street.

You will be safe inside.

Now, my pet, have your tonic.

- Oh...

- Good girl.

Give you a little bit extra so you...

- There we go.

- Thank you.

(EXHALES)

There you go, pet.

Head on the pillow.

I can't see him.

25 years since Stewart's accident.

25 years since I lost my boy.

Pet?

(WHISPERS) Pet?

(CHEERING)

Go, Teddy!

On your left, Teddy!

- Go, Reggie!

- Move over, boy!

Oof!

Oh! Oh! Reggie!

Pick it up, Teddy!

- MAN:
Go, Teddy!

- Go, Teddy!

On ya, Teddy!

(YELLING)

(CHEERING)

Go, Teddy!

(WHISTLE BLOWS)

Who's that?

Outside, outside, outside.

BOTH:
Oof!

Ah!

Don't look at her. Eyes on the ball.

Stop looking at her, boys!

Come on!

Farrat, stop her. Charge her.

With what? Sitting?

The nerve of that girl!

(CHEERING)

(CHEERING)

(GROANING)

- Goal.

- (SIREN WAILS)

(WHISTLE BLOWS)

- TEDDY:
G'day.

- On.

Your get-up's

distracting my players.

Well, I do have an unusual talent

for bias cutting.

- Yeah. Listen, Myrtle...

- I prefer Tilly.

Tilly, the only reason

these bastards haven't run

us McSwineys out of town too

is me dad empties

their shithouses

and I win 'em the footy.

We lose this match,

all I've got left is the sh*t.

Thank you, Teddy.

I know you and Mae have been

looking out for Molly.

You leaving?

No. I'm going to change.

MOLLY:
Been looking out

for me, have you?

Iced VoVo?

No, thank you, Molly.

I remember you.

It's Molly Dunnage.

That's right. I'm still alive!

What about

that poor wife of yours?

Irma is as well

as can be expected.

Mmm.

She kept running into doors,

if I remember, your wife.

Cut lips, black eyes...

Can I help you?

That all miraculously went away

when you become a hunchback.

FARRAT:
Tilly...

I heard she was back.

I had no idea

she was so beautiful.

Gertrude knows

fruit preservatives.

Female intimate apparel.

She does her own hair too.

(SOFTLY) on...

Your dress...

That fabric...

That's the photographer

from the Winyerp Gazette.

How about a kiss

for our man in blue, hey?

FARRAT:
Oh, no, no, no.

No, no, no, no.

(WHISPERS) Kiss me, kiss me.

Eugh! Trollop!

Problem with your Dungatar team

is inexperience.

See, our Winyerp boys

are seasoned professionals.

They're not likely to be distracted

by some good-looking sheila.

Oh.

Gertrude Pratt.

What's the matter with you?

I hear the footballers' dance

is Saturday night.

I could make you something.

A dress can't change anything.

Watch and learn, Gert.
