Maybe you could

take me shopping.

What, and buy you some taste?

- This one's off limits.

- Mind your own business, Josh.

Come on, Tash.

You know the rules.

- What d'ya think you're doing?

- Get off me!

F*** off!

What's he doing?

Help!

- Help!

- Take my hand!

- Take my hand!

- Swim! Swim!

F***ing hell.

- It was an accident.

- F***ing idiot!

- Hey!

- I'll f***ing kill you!

Always just blending in,

aren't you? Eh?

Where you going?

The party's just started!

Jump in.

ROMANTIC MUSIC:

Cheer up, you'll dry in no time.

Must be nice

not to worry about money.

Driving that car,

living in that big house.

Well, that was what I thought

in the beginning.

I'm not sleeping with him,

if that's what you're asking.

I never thought you were.

Not anymore.

If you're not sleeping with him,

why does he keep you around?

The same reason you bought

that dumb leather jacket -

thinks it makes him look good.

Check this out.

They're really good dumplings.

You have to try one.

Try.

Is it your first time?

Come on. Bit more higher up.

Relax. Relax the hand.

There you go, try now. OK?

- So how did he find you?

- He advertised on the internet.

They said it was easier to get a

visa if you're a student.

Work for two years, so you get

a certificate and a passport.

That's the theory.

Never saw anyone

get a passport yet.

Why do you stick around?

Why don't you just flog

the Porsche and drive to Broome?

He caught the last girl

who tried something like that.

A kitchen fire,

on the police report.

Is there anyone back home

who can help?

No.

How about your people?

Last time I was home,

my dad gave me this

as a Christmas present.

Well, at least

you have something

to remember him by, huh?

He should've taught you

how to swim, though.

Try your sticks again.

That's the first time

I've seen you laugh.

We have to go.

F***ing JR!

Did you give your ferret a run?

Huh?

Did you give your ferret a run?

Let me have a word with the boy,

will you, Sterlo?

Did you have a good night

last night, did you?

We ate dumplings.

Ate dumplings.

What else did you do?

Just dumplings.

- I told you, nothing happened.

- Yeah.

I know. If it had, Sam would've

made you both shark food by now.

Is that it? Can I...?

You listen to me. You listen

very f***ing carefully. Right?

You do not bend the rules

for a piece of skirt!

Now, you stop thinking

with your bloody dick,

and get with the program,

or you are f***ing out, right?

What's it gonna be?

Tell me right f***ing now.

I'm... I'm with the program.

Good.

Sam came through

with a new place.

- Sterlo!

- Yeah?

Sam came through

with a new place.

Good. This is better.
