# Her papa loved her

so much #

# You could see #

# Oh, oh, oh #

# I loved her too much #

Are you watching?

Caroline, just chill.

It'll be fun.

Nothing's better

than a wedding.

Take my advice

and just get pissed.

Trust me,

guys love a bridesmaid.

Janice, you know

I don't wear dresses,

and I can't wear dresses.

I won't look any good.

F***, mate,

you'll be fine.

A bit of lippy,

you'll look great.

It's not just the dress.

I don't want to celebrate

Dad's marriage to her.

So wear pants.

Actually, there's

some real nice ones

at Sportsgirl

at the moment,

and he's paying for them.

Roscoe, the usual, thanks.

[complicated acoustic riff]

Come on, girlfriend.

I'm gonna leave early today.

I've got a specialist

appointment for Susie.

Can you make sure that...

[people murmuring indistinctly,

phones ringing]

You know, Irene,

I just changed my medication,

and it makes you feel

really tired and sick.

Maybe that's all that's wrong

with Susie.

I'm sure she's okay.

She's real lucky

to have you as a mother.

Oh, Caroline,

I didn't realize...

I mean, that's not something

I discuss.

It's personal.

It's not a dirty secret,

is it?

You love your daughter.

You okay?

My stupid specialist

doesn't know what's wrong.

They think I make it up.

I think we should

put your condition

in your personnel file.

What if you have an episode?

How do you do it?

You manage a job, a husband,

two kids, and you're happy.

Unlike my family.

All they care about

is themselves.

He kicked me out.

You'd never do that.

You know that's not true.

Your father,

he helped you find your flat.

He didn't kick you out.

Only because

he didn't want me with him.

Well, he's taking you

to the Grand Prix this weekend,

isn't he?

Yeah, yeah, he is.

I just...

Just if he was just

proud of me,

thought I could do

something,

be better.

Oh, Caroline.

But I will.

It will be painful, difficult.

I'll change.

What are you doing tonight?

Not much.

Maybe go to my acting workshop.

Cool, because we're all

going to the pub

for karaoke night.

I've got me new

sh*t-hot Kylie push-up bra.

I'm ready.

I'm pumped.

Oh, far out.

Do you guys mind

if I get going?

I've got to go

get a bus.

Hey, Caroline,

can I ask you a favor?

See, I've got all these

f***ing parking fines,

and they're due today,

and I was thinking that

you could lend me the money,

just till next pay?

Okay, how much?

Not much, mate.

Just 300 bucks.

But it's due today.

Is that all right?

Great.

Thanks, Caroline.

Well, I'm off.
