# Happiness is just

a little thing

# Humans mostly are

too large for it

# If you cannot feel

the joy of spring

# Shrink yourself,

and maybe then you'll fit

# Happiness is just... #

Make the beamers (BMW) a priority. Keep

your eyes open for the other ones, huh?

Beamer. (BMW)

Right-o.

- Be good.

- Yeah.

Yeah?

Ah. G'day, mate.

How are you?

- Make sure that it's straight.

- Yep. - Hold it.

- Hold on to the wheel. Grab

the brace. - Okay. - Good.

They want to know if I can still

stay with you when I...

- when I get out. Is that okay? - Yeah,

of course. Where else would you stay?

- I don't know.

- Come on. Time.

They've got those

halfway houses and...

I haven't seen you for ages.

Yeah, sorry.

That place freaks me out.

I've been, uh, you know... busy.

Yeah, you must have been.

It's been, like, eight months.

Hey, look, I have been busting a gut

trying to organize things for you.

Yeah, all right.

Hey, um...

I need you to come in today, if you can,

and sign something for my welfare officer.

What, you... what, you want

me to just drop everything?

- It's for the parole hearing.

- Yeah, all right. All right. I'll, um...

- I can do it after lunch.

- Okay. Thanks. I'll let her know.

- Get off, mate.

- Right-o.

- Yeah?

- I want to see 'cow.'

Cow?

Cow? Like a... like a moo cow?

Like a... "moo"? Moo-moo!

Oi!

- Hello, 'Cow.'

- Ah... "cow."

- Uh, um... back off, Dave.

- Mm.

This is Dave. Don't worry about him.

I'm gonna break for lunch.

- Yeah, sure you are.

- Hungry? Hm? Yeah?

- You want to grab something to eat, or...?

- Uh, I want see Mr. Randall.

What... right now?

Yeah, look, I don't know how

they do things in China, but...

I'm not a taxi service.

Hey.

- You just want to put your arms

around me again, don't you? - Oh!

Sorry.

After you.

I tried calling your brother.

He's not answering.

I meant to say the other day,

it's really admirable what you've done...

sending donations to

that child for so long.

Might tell my other

clients about it.

I don't reckon Gary's

gonna show up.

Because many of my

clients need my help,

to rebuild their lives after parole...

form connections again.

Why don't you go down

to the workshop?

I'll page you if your

brother turns up.

She ran away from me.

I spoke to the police again.

They won't do anything

for 48 hours.

What about the

Canberra concert?

Children, come over.

Something urgent has come up.

You go ahead with Miss Fong.

- Yes, Miss Chen.

- Good, get in the bus now.

- Yeah, good job.

- Yeah. - Yeah, turned out well.

Yeah!

M.I.N. number is 256904,
