place to be a man!

And that's what you want?

That's would make you happy, Murray,

watching me come on to a stranger?

Yes.

No. The answer's no.

And if you asked me,

I'd say no to the factory too.

It's a petrochemical by-product

repurposing facility!

- It's the oil company!

- It's recycling!

That's good, eh? That's good, right?

No! That's just something

they're doin' for public image,

to repay for environmental

damage they done!

- So let 'em pay!

- I don't want the oil company here!

Well, you know, that's very easy

for you to say with a job, right?

Government job with vacation pay.

All I'm asking for

is a little flirt!

Hey, Annette.

You're cracked.

- You're cracked!

- I know you're good for it.

A cricket match is divided

into periods called innings.

One team fields and the other bats.

The two teams switch between fielding

and batting after each inning.

All right, so we switch around.

Now, all 11 members of the

fielding team take the field,

but only two members

of the batting team

are on the field at any given time.

You stand side by side or what?

Opposite ends of the field? Come on!

- Does this make sense to any of you guys?

- You wanna do it?

Give me a chance to look at it!

Joe! Joe, we're sorry we took

your oars now, all right?

- Give me the...

- Come on, that's enough!

Now's not the time for questions.

All right, go!

Go!

- That was awful!

- Awful! Bloody awful!

Go!

Right foot!

Left foot! Right foot!

That's your left foot, Henry.

Go back.

Right foot! Left foot!

Right to the side! Follow through!

There you go.

Back to where you were.

Oh!

Okay, Henry.

Just swing it up!

He's out!

- You gotta run now.

- Yeah, you gotta run.

He dropped it.

- Run!

- You too, you gotta run.

- Don't knock him over.

- Keep goin'. Where's the ball?

Ta-da!

- Oh, yes! Yeah.

- And this is for the top.

Yeah, yeah.

He looks the part.

You look good! Dapper!

And I put some extra

protection down there for you.

Yes, good. There.

Why is it pink?

Good luck, Murray!

Come on!

I took the wrong one!

How's he doin'?

Not good.

You okay?

All good.

It's this fresh air. I just...

I'm just used to, like, this

dense, dense smog, you know?

That's why I never left the city.

I get these anxiety attacks

when I'm not mugged by a homeless

person on a daily basis, you know?

Yeah.

Yeah, those don't work here.

Land lines only.

Sorry.

Oh, that's... that's great.

- They're coming!

- What?

- They're comin'!

- Everybody up!

Come on, everybody together!

Come on now, get in your positions!

Let's play cricket!

Oh, you gotta be kidding me.

What the... Is this for real?

Hmm?

This!

- Do... do you like cricket?
