Boy
(SPEAKS MAORI)
My name is Boy,
and welcome to my interesting world.
My favourite person
is Michael Jackson.
He is the best singer and dancer
in the world.
Last month he put out a record
called 'Thriller'.
It sold a gazillion copies
and now he lives in a castle
with a snake and a monkey.
He is so famous that you can
even see him in the stars.
I live in a white house
with my nanny and my cousins...
Hucks, Kiko, Miria, Chay and Kelly.
I have a pet goat called Leaf.
I also have a six-year-old brother
called Rocky.

BOY:
Loser!He thinks he's got powers.
- (BANG!)
- (PEOPLE SCREAM)
He doesn't.
Bye-bye.
Yesterday
my nan went away to a funeral.
While she's gone
I'm in charge of the house.
(ENGINE REVS)
I go to Raukokore School.
I have many favourite subjects,
including art...
(LAUGHS)
...social study...
...and Michael Jackson.
My friends are Dallas
and her sister Dynasty.
They also have a sister
called Falcon Crest.
Dynasty is the only girl
around here with a job.
She does after-school gardening work
for her dad.
Aunty Gracey is my mum's sister.
She has lots of jobs.
(GRUNTS)
She's the tennis coach,
the mailman, the school bus driver
and she runs the local shop.
Aunty, can I have
a free iceblock, please?
(WHINES)
My real name is Alamein.
and he's named after some place
where the Maori battalion
Dad's brothers and sisters
are Faenza, Tunisia, Libya
and Michael Jackson.
My dad's not here right now.
He's a busy man.
He's a master carver,
deep-sea treasure diver,
and he holds the record for punching
out the most people with one hand.
When he comes home he's taking me
The end.
Thank you, Boy.
Tane, your turn. Get up there.
TANE:
My name is Tane...Young man, you're a liar.
Your dad's not overseas.
- He's in jail for robbery.
- Shut up, Kingi. You don't know.
Yes, he's in the same cell block
as my dad.
Not anymore. He escaped.
- How?
- He dug a hole underneath the fence.
- With what?
- A spoon.
(SIREN WAILS)
What about the guards?
- Aarggh!
BOY:
He wasted them.BOY:
With the spoon.- Aarggh!
(GROANS)
- Bullshit.
- Shut up, Kingi, you don't know.
(TANE SPEAKS INDISTINCTLY)
(WHISPERS) Look at me.
Look at me. Look at me.
Look at me. Look at me.
Look at me. Look at me.
Look at me.
Go and talk to her, bro.
A man needs to tell a woman
how he feels.
I don't want to talk to her.
Tane would. He'd probably
French kiss her too.
You French kiss
all the girls, eh, bro?
Pretty much.
Not all the girls.
Well, here's my trick.
I tell the girls that
I'm afraid of undies
and when they want me to go away,
they show me their undies.
(LAUGHS)
Act cool. Act cool. Here she comes.
(WHISPERS) Go do something.
Hey, Chardonnay, want to see
some Michael Jackson dance moves?
He did those moves at the Grammys.
Al, the boy's afraid of undies.
(GIGGLES)
Nits, nits, nits, nits, nits.
Who here has had nits?
- (ALL SPEAK INDISTINCTLY)
- Oi, shut up.
Now, who knows what disease
this sheep has got?
AIDS.
- Not AIDS, you dork.
- (ALL LAUGH)
Yes, because it looks like Murray
and he's got AIDS.
Don't be stupid.
Kids can't get AIDS... only gays.
He's a gay.
He goes out with Boy.
Shut up, Kingi.
Ohh! What are you gonna do?
Get your brother on me or something?
Kingi's undies
when he shat his pants
on sports day, remember?
- F*ck up, Boy.
- You f*ck up.
- You f*ck up.
- You f*ck up.
- F*ck up.
- Hey!
