after you're allowed to leave?

I think I can

try a bit harder.

Okay, great.

Quick, I've got to go.

Oh, and here.

See ya.

It's not April fool's day,

is it?

Bye, mom.

I love you.

Bye.

[Engine revving]

15 mil socket.

This is the 12 mil,

you dipstick.

Don't call him a "dupstuck."

It's dipstick.

Dipstick.

Remember your roots.

Eh?

[Satisfied laugh]

I was gonna give him that.

You're too slow, son.

Tight nuts,

that's what you need.

Good boy.

You need a hand there, love?

No, I'm good, hun.

You know, asking for help

is not a sign of weakness.

[Mouthing words]

Yes, it is.

Make sure you sell the house

before you come home, all right?

Well,

I'll see you in an hour, then.

- Bye, Shane. Bye, Shannon.

- Bye, mum.

[Slapping]

Whoo-hoo!

Ah, she's a winner, your mum.

And you could be too.

Just like your brother

or your old man.

And with that little beauty

over there,

there'll be no excuse

for losing, huh?

Come on, let's go.

Shane's trolley looked

slicker than his dad's hair.

If I was going to beat it,

I had to get to work.

I didn't need any of that

fancy fiberglass stuff,

and I didn't need any help.

I could do it on my own.

I had it all figured out.

I'd use wood and nails

and... stuff.

Turns out I'm no Burt munro.

Maybe I would need some help.

- Hey, mum.

- Hey.

How was your day?

Well, let's just say

I will never have to

buy exfoliant again.

Oh, let me.

Thanks.

You all right?

Look like you pulled a muscle.

Uh, yeah,

my undies are just a bit tight.

Funny place

to have a growth spurt.

Hey, I was thinking.

It's been ages since

we had a game of mini golf.

How about this weekend, eh?

Just you and me.

Yeah, that'd be great.

Sweet.

I'm in the shower.

You know I'll beat you.

[Water running]

[Knocking on door]

G'day, mate.

Mike from down the road.

Is your mum about?

I left a message on her

answer phone a while ago.

Oh, yeah, she heard it.

Yeah, she's got

a short-term memory.

Anyway, she's out.

Is she?

What? You're here by yourself?

Uh, yeah, she leaves me

by myself all the time.

Huh.

What time she'll be back?

Oh.

Whenever the pub closes.

That right?

Well.

Thanks.

Should I tell her you...

Nah. Nah, that's all right.

Who was that?

Uh, wrong house.

Hmm.

- Oh, no!

- What?

I left my spelling book

at Jeff's.

There's a big test tomorrow.

I better go get it, okay?

- Oh, but...

- Thanks.

Sure.

- Hi, Mrs. Greenwood.

- Hi, Ben.

Jeff's out the back.

Thanks.

[Insects buzzing]

- Hey.

- Hi.

So how'd it go with Amanda?

[Aggravated sigh]

I can help.

Yeah, right.

Like you helped by busting

her molecule model thing.

Yeah, crazy.

Go figure.

Anyway, I'm going in
