[door opening]

Oh f***!

[door opens]

[sniffing]

Are you boys smoking in here?

What are you doing?

Nothing. Just watching the TV.

[women moaning]

Okay, good.

Dinner in five.

[laughs]

[laughs]

Do you eat good food like this

round your place, Mikki?

Not like this.

Yeah, bet just all boiled cabbage

and sh*t round your place, yeah?

F*** off, Dan. He knows I'm

taking the piss, don't you?

- Mm, you're a good cook, Mr. O.

- Are you having a go?

You two smart-asses get in there

and cook for me and see how it is.

[phone ringing]

[phone ringing]

- Hello?

- You reckon that's his girl?

Oh, you don't know?

She's as keen as mustard, calling

him every five f***ing minutes.

You too. Bye!

Who was that?

Mum.

What did she want?

Nothing, dad.

Don't worry about it.

F***!

[shattering]

Who's this girl?

[camera winding]

No-one.

Some girl that I met at the

beach.

[clears throat]

Got this from Tomi.

- Oh, great.

- I'll keep it with the rest.

You'll just blow it on

your f***ing girlfriend!

No, it's good man.

It's like two grand now.

It'll get us up the coast, but we

have to get a job pretty soon.

Did you tell your parents yet?

Where have you been? You're

supposed to be home after school.

- I was at Dan's.

- Did you eat there?

Yeah, they eat early because

Jack has to go to work.

Good. So do I.

I have a double shift because

someone did not turn up.

Your father works late too and Tomi

is sleeping, so don't bother him.

Your uncle works him too hard!

Hey, mum. Dan and I were thinking

about what we'd do after school.

[car honking]

Not now, Mikls. I have to go.

Hi, Mik.

You're getting tall!

Hey, Helen!

You're getting fat!

[music playing]

[heavy breathing]

[thud]

What the f*** are you doing?

What the f*** are you doing,

Mik?

- Tomi...

- Are you f***ing watching me?

- Tomi, I...

- Jesus Christ, man!

I'm sorry!

What the f*** is the matter with

you?

Stay the f*** away from me!

Tomi!

Tomi!

[door slams]

[engine and music starts]

[tires squealing]

[honking]

[honking]

Tomi!

- Tomi!

- F*** off, Mik!

[car honk]

[thud]

[ambient sound]

[faint heartbeat]

[inaudible background horrified

voices]

Your son took his mother's car

to go and look for his brother

and arrived on the scene

as the accident took place.

The driver responsible had

already left.

[inaudible voices]

Bloody terrible thing,

Mikki.

They should bloody torture the bastard

that did this to your mother.

F***ing useless cops!

Listen,

your family needs some happiness

now.

This will be hard for your father.

You know what I'm saying?

He lost his only son.

No. That's not what I meant.

I wish things were different

than they are.

Don't you wish it had never

happened?

It's a little late to try and be

my father.

It was a long time ago.

People make mistakes, Mikls.

- I, I, I was never built for family.

- Well, you shouldn't have f***ed her!

Mikls!

With Tomi not here, I need help in

the shop. You come see me, huh?

Okay.

Hail Mary, full of grace.

The lord is with thee.

Blessed art thou among

women.

Blessed is the fruit of thy

womb, Jesus.

Holy Mary, Mother of God,

pray for us sinners now and

at the hour of our death.

Amen.

Hail Mary, full of grace.

The lord is with thee.

Blessed art thou among

women,

and blessed is the fruit of

thy womb, Jesus.

Holy Mary, Mother of God,

pray for us sinners now and

at the hour of our death.

Amen.

Amen.

Hail Mary full of grace.

The lord is with thee.

Blessed art thou among

women,

and blessed is the fruit of

thy womb.

[door closes]

You look like him.

He asked me to marry him, you

know?

I said we weren't ready.

- They still not speaking to you?

- Barely.

Your ma has been good though.

As she would be.

You've got her grandkid.

This was supposed to be my new

family.

I don't know where I fit now.

[crying]

No one is ever going to be him.

I'll look after you.

This is a great tragedy.

But it's a credit to

Jzsef

and Illona

who have raised two strong

boys

who understand the importance

of duty

to their family.

[music]

Saw the most amazing thing on TV

last night.

It was

this doco about insects and

sh*t.

And there were these two slugs,

f***ing.

It was disgusting, but it was

beautiful at the same time.

[lighter flicks]

[exhales]

They was twisted around

each other for like an hour.

And then they let out this like

long rope made of slime and just

hung there in the air.

And then th-they wrapped their

um,

their sex organs around each

other and

created this amazing

spiral

connected thing.

I never thought about slugs

f***ing before.

It was amazing.

[camera winding]

[camera shutter]

Hey, dad!

Can you give me a lift?

You should get up early

so you can walk to school.

Ask your mother!

Seriously, I thought about putting

two of them over there...

Yeah, that's a great idea.

Get rid of the broccoli, because

the broccoli is just not good.

- No, broccoli is good for you!

- No, the lemons are much better...

[door creaking]

[spraying]

[sighs]

[clipping]

[music]

This is the one.

Nice house!

[sighs]

She's definitely out of your

league!

Shut up, man!

Must do alright, eh?

- Don't embarrass me, man.

- I'll try not to say anything, Dan.
