what dreams may come

When we have shuffled off

this mortal coil.

Must give us pause.

There's the respect that makes

the calamity of so long life.

For who would bear the whips

and scorns of time.

Th' oppressor's wrong,

the proud man's contumely,

"With the pangs

of despised love..."

"And lose the name of action."

"Soft you now."

LIAM:
Hey.

Hey.

You were good in there.

I was shamed.

You weren't shamed.

You were good.

Thanks.

You make it look,

I don't know, easy.

They had drama

at my old school.

Who do you reckon's

the best Hamlet?

Mel Gibson or Ethan Hawke?

Denzel Washington.

I got to go.

Who do you reckon's

the best Hamlet?

Her face when you were

lookin' for a while

Without a trace that we're

underneath the weather

And I tried to let go

and she slipped away

Like a little girl

But I really wanna

make her mine

My girl would

never say

What I need to hear

to make it all okay

So we try to make nice

so the kids won't know

For a little while

But it really

doesn't make it all

Find you alone a while

With a heavy hand

and a darkened smile

Let her find

time to regret

But I still don't know

And I really want

to make her mine

She wants to know

just who I am

She wants to know

just who I am

She can make you work

For the worth

that she has

She wants to know

just who I am

I'm guessin'

that it happens

All of the time

Through no

fault of mine

What are you

so chirpy about?

Nothin'.

Well, I've got

some good news.

Guess who's got a job

interview tomorrow?

You?

Well, you don't have

to sound so surprised.

Here, come and help us

practice the interview, will ya?

Like what?

Just ask some questions.

What's your name?

Christina Wood.

How old are you?

Thirty-six.

Who's your

favorite singer?

Oh, not those

sorts of questions.

I'm going for

a job in sales.

Have you ever had any

experience in sales?

Next question.

Nah nah nah...

I'm still working on that.

Next question!

(Knocking on door)

Is Steven Wood here?

No. Why?

We're hoping he can help

us with some inquiries.

Has he been here

at all today?

I don't know.

I just got back home.

What's your name?

Liam.

Liam what?

Wood.

Can you get him to contact

the Redfern police station

when he gets home, please?

So there'll be maintenance

in the science block

To fix the damaged roof

next week.

So if you all check with

Margot for room relocations,

Which, uh

brings us to NAIDOC week.

As we all know, this

is likely to be

The last NAIDOC week before

the Endeavor merger.

What's NAIDOC week?

National Aboriginal

and Islander Day.

And once again,

we have one time slot

To showcase a cultural

activity to the community.
