From the Dark
Ah!
Yes?
Nothing.
Is there some words
to follow that look?
- No?
- No.
- It's not that short.
- It's short.
It's not that short.
This is how short it was
when we met each other.
Yeah, you loved that guy,
didn't you?
It was not.
'Cause I would have--
Yes, it was. It was
actually exactly like this.
had looked like a criminal if, if...
I don't look like a criminal.
...if you had it that
short when we met.
I would have stayed-
I would have avoided
you on the street
with that haircut.
Sorry.
You're mad.
I'm just trying to make a, what,
a smidge of an effort
for our little getaway.
- Oh yeah?
- Yeah.
Why?
Huh?
Why are you making
such an effort?
It's like-that's like,
that's like something someone
would do if they were,
I don't know,
going to propose
or something.
- Going to propose?
- Yeah.
People can get their hair cut
without it leading to marriage.
You mental-head.
Come here, okay,
while we're on the topic,
- just answer this question.
- Okay.
Marriage:
why?Seriously,
that's the question?
"Marriage:
why?"Because it shows that
two people love each other,
- and care about each other and...
- No, it doesn't.
No, it doesn't.
No, it doesn't.
- ...They want to spend the rest of...
- No!
Incorrect.
It does not.
Okay, so tell me, what,
what does marriage
mean to you, Mark?
Look.
Listen, listen, listen.
- It means slavery, is what it means.
- Wow!
It means shackles,
is what it means.
It means going
back to the bloody,
I don't know, 1800s.
That's what it means.
- Really?
- Yeah.
Think about it, right?
Waking up every day and
choosing to be with somebody.
That is a commitment,
a commitment that you
Being...
Yeah?
Legally bound to.
That is slavery.
Yeah.
Correct.
And, and so,
what, are you saying
that you never want
to get married?
Well, I don't know.
I don't want to say never.
Well, I mean...
No.
Probably not.
You need to follow this road
until you come to a T-junction.
Yeah.
Aw, yeah...
- What was that?
- Huh?
What was that?
I'm giving
the man The Guns.
"Hello, good to see you."
I'm waving.
That's not how you wave.
- That's not how you wave?
- No.
- You're going to
tell me how to wave?
- Yeah.
There's, like,
a technique to it.
It's, like, a country wave.
- The Country Wave!
- The Country Wave, yes.
- That's a thing?
- Is there really a Country Wave?
- It's a Country Wave.
Yeah, it's like how people in
the country wave to each other.
Yeah, right.
You're off your face.
Okay, so you're...
- Basically your hand is
on the steering wheel...
- Okay.

- Okay.
- It's just one finger.
- Just one finger?
- Just one finger, yeah.
- By itself?
By itself.
- Like that? One finger?
- Yes.
Okay, try these people.

Hey!
I'm on fire right now.
Congratulations.

I'm blending in.
They're accepting me
as one of their own.
Mmm-hmm.

Watch.
You ready?
Alright, hold on.
You f***in'...
Do you know what, actually?
Do you know what?
I've another one
finger wave for you...
Mark, don't!
I'm joking.
Recalculating...
Mark, this isn't the road.
Um, it is the road.
Well, this is saying that
it's not the road.
I know, but...
it is the road.
I'm telling you now.
Look, I know exactly
where I'm going.
Recalculating...
"Recalculating, recal--"
- I know where it is. Don't worry.

It's basically straight.
Straight...

Ugh...
Just put that thing in the bin.
Ugh...
Okay, this isn't...
Turn around.
Give me a minute.
Oh, fu--!
Oh, for f***'s sake.
Mark, it's properly stuck.
There's, like, it's...

Mark, stop!
You can't!
You're going to wreck the car.
Fine.
There's a massive hole there.
Okay, look...
I'm going to get out and push,
yeah?
You reverse just a little bit.
Okay?
Yep, okay.
Geez, this f***in'...
It's a massive f***ing puddle...
I think we should
just stay here.
- This is a lovely spot.
- Oh, you're hilarious!
- You ready?
- Yeah.
- You ready?
- I'm ready.
Go!
Mark...
Ah...
Sh*t...
Here, hand me up
my phone, will you?
I'll just ring my dad.
You're not
ringing your dad!
It's fine.
He'll know what to do.
You're not
ringing your dad.
Call AA,
if you're calling anybody.
- Have you a signal on that?
- No.
Okay...
New plan.
What's the plan?
Huh?
I'm going to go find a house.
- Okay, I'll go with you--
- No, no, no, no.
I'm going to go find a house.
You stay with the car.
If, like, a car comes,
see if you can get, like,
a tow rope or whatever.
Okay?
Okay?
- So just stay with the car?
- Stay with the car.
Stay with the car...
