The Dream Children Page #5

Synopsis: Troubled TV personality Steven Evans struggles to find meaning in his life in the face of the superficial world he has created. Smothered by celebrity and materialism, Steven's only respite is through solitary visits to the ocean and shallow sexual encounters with the acquaintances that orbit his life. When his long-term partner hurls him headfirst into fatherhood, Steven's initial reluctance is gradually replaced with love, as he discovers, in his new family, a bond stronger than any he has experienced before. But the return of an unexpected visitor triggers off a series of events that thrusts Steven and his family into a cycle of loneliness, self-destruction and grief.

Yes.

Because I don't think I could

do that, just look at a baby

and go, I love you,

you're my child.

You're being f***ing ridiculous!

No amount of money

is going to change

the fact that officially and

legally, we're not a couple.

[game show in background]

Listen, I told Ajay

you're a solid worker

and that he should move

you up the ranks a little.

Really?

Yeah, of course, really.

I told you I'd look after you.

It's not going to

happen overnight.

It may take a little

while to get moving.

But I'm onto it.

Now get the f*** out of here.

Go on.

Come on, slow poke.

Oh, shut up.

Mr. Competition.

Nice running style.

Shut up!

[laughs]

[text alert]

What's that?

Nothing.

Give us a look.

Nothing.

Give... give it here.

" If you're interested in the

family, but can't conceive,

call Nancy at Dreamland.com."

Well, that sounds about

right, doesn't it?

Dreamland.

You know, babies

manufactured to your choice,

just pay us a billion dollars.

No, no, no, look, she wants to

put up her baby for adoption.

She's flogging her baby

on the internet, Alex.

Oh, just give it to me.

She wants to put up her

baby for adoption privately.

- Don't sugarcoat it.

- I'm not sugarcoating anything!

It's either that or

it's a f***ing scam.

Will you just try this with me?

Alex, it won't work.

It won't work'?

No.

Oh, it won't work?

All right, well

then, prove it to me.

Prove to me this won't work,

because I'm ready for this.

Fine.

Fine?

But when this doesn't

work, you agree to stop.

All right?

This is it.

If... if this doesn't

work, then we're done.

We tried our best,

but it's over.

Agreed?

- If?

- If.

If.

She's late.

It's only three minutes, she

may have got the wrong place.

[high heels tapping]

Do you think that was her?

No, she doesn't have a

dog with her, does she?

No, she doesn't

have a dog with her,

but she doesn't have a

baby with her either.

Look, I... I don't think

she's going to show, Alex.

F*** it, let's go.

- No!

No, I'm staying.

All right.

You stay, I'm going.

Steve, just...

Excuse me?

Yes?

I'm looking for a

little white dog.

A dog-dog?

Yeah, a little white dog.

Are you Nancy, or...?

Yeah.

Where's your partner?

Uh, she couldn't make it, but

I brought a friend instead.

This is...

Hi, I'm Chris.

Yeah.

What-uh, wait, please!

- I've got to go.

- Wait, wait.

Please, please, please!

Where's... where's your wife,

or your girlfriend, or whatever?

Look, let's just sit

down and have a coffee.

Look, it's a bit...

It's a bit complicated,

but I'll explain everything.

Please.

OK.

But I can't stay long.

I've got to get to [inaudible].

I'll explain everything.
