What's the issue that

you are trying to direct here?

Keep your personal stuff out of it.

G'day, mate. Bit early today?

Yeah.

Hey, I heard you playing before.

I didn't know you were musical.

Oh, I've been playing

since I was a little kid.

Yeah? Well, it shows.

Thanks.

Hey, I, uh... I read your story.

Yeah?

Yeah! Yeah.

I, uh... I liked it.

Thanks.

Sounds like you're in love, huh?

Hey, listen, about that, your story,

uh, I mean, this is just

a formality, but, um...

'Formality'? What do you mean?

It's sort of...

I was thinking about it

last night, and, um...

Wh... You know it's my piece.

I haven't copied it.

Oh, of course. No, it's not that.

It's, uh... well, it's...

It's the content.

What are you trying to say?

Well, it's, uh...

I mean, I'm sure you'll

agree it's not a story

that every Tom, Dick and Harry

would write.

And it touched upon some very

sensitive and erotic issues.

Yeah, alright, but you understand

that it's just a story.

I know, I know, I know.

But, um... let me

put it to you this way.

If someone came in here

and wrote a story about

shooting up the whole school

it would be my responsibility

to check it out.

Right, I understand that.

But this story isn't about

shooting up the whole school.

It's a love story, for Christ's sake.

Did you write it about

anyone in particular?

No, I didn't,

and everybody's been asking me that,

and it wasn't about anyone

and it wasn't written FOR anyone.

It's just a story. That's all it is.

And if I showed it to someone -

say, uh, your father?

No! Why would you show it to him?

OK, relax.

No, I can't relax!

It doesn't even have

anything to do with him.

And, look, I wrote the story

because I wanted to be...

Morning, guys.

I wanted it to be

controversial and different

so I could win, and I did win.

You did.

And that's what it's about.

Forget I said anything, OK?

It's all good. Stop worrying.

OK.

OK, guys.

Now, if you can get your books

straight out today

and, uh, open up to page 24.

We are studying the Scottish play.

I remember one time, um...

...we had this babysitter, and...

This is when Mum and Dad

were still together.

But, anyway, we had this babysitter,

and Melody and I fell...

well, Melody fell asleep.

I was still half-awake.

And Mum and Dad got home

and they... they paid the babysitter

and... Dad... Dad didn't even wait

until they got into the bedroom.

I don't know, I guess he thought

that we were both asleep,

but, um... I remember he just

ripped off her clothes

and just started f***ing her, like,

right then and there on the couch.

And I know I should be disgusted -

like, I know that.

I was... Well, it's not like I was...
