The Holding Page #3

is what you think, what you want.

That's all anybody in this family

thinks about anymore.

(Hannah) Right.

Meaning?

Nothing.

I mean, we're not exactly

a family anyway, are we?

Just three people that live together.

What do you think you're doing?

Private road.

(Sighs)

- It's our land. She's trespassing

- Oh, bullshit!

- Easy, Cass.

- He can't deny us access.

We've always used the road.

Karsten?

Needs work.

Yeah. If there were an accident,

we'd be liable.

- Jesus! You're not going to listen to that crap?

- She can walk.

F*** you, Karsten.

- I've got a farm to run.

- Cass...

Yeah, let's see what the

law has to say, eh?

(Sighs) You'd best move the pick-up,

let her out.

I'm a reasonable man.

- (Jed) We'll have to look into the access rights.

- Oh.

Don't be a prick, Karsten.

(Engine starts)

(Footsteps going upstairs)

I'll talk to Karsten.

No. It's my farm, I'll handle it.

- isn't it about time you had someone...

- What?

To look after me?

Someone on your side, that's all.

(Vehicle approaching, dog barking)

(Barking continues, vehicle door slams)

- Get the f***...

- Shut up.

Evening.

What do you want?

To talk.

Like reasonable adults.

This is a precaution.

If it makes you feel uncomfortable...

You see, Cassie Naylor's

not selling her holding.

To you or to anyone else.

Not now.

Not ever.

But it's not about the land, is it?

Get out!

- You're not a listener.

- Don't be so...

(Panicked breathing)

Agh!

(Screams)

- (Whimpers)

- Stop your f***in' whinin'.

(Noah coughs)

No!

(Squelching)

More fun than rabbits.

(Grunts)

Who are you?

(Dog barking)

(Distorted echoing voices)

(Faint screaming)

(Muffled banging)

(Banging on door)

Feel like killing something?

(Aden) Dean was lucky.

Having this.

Having you.

Hannah and Amy.

You sound jealous.

I never had much of a family

if the truth be told.

My dad left when I was just a kid.

Your mother?

Can't really remember her.

I'm sorry.

Oh, I did all right.

I'm not after pity.

I just want you to understand

I mean it when I say Dean was lucky.

I'd do anything to have what he had.

A man who let that go...

threw it away...

I'd say he deserves whatever comes his way.

(Music over earphones)

- It's good.

- Mm,

So what's with this guy Aden?

Oh, he's creepy.

- There's a party tonight at Dave's.

- I'm not staying.

- (Giggles)

- Oh, my God.

Not Frazer? You're staying at Frazer's?

That's cool.

I'll sort it out.

(They giggle)

. Night.

. Night.

Lights out in ten minutes.

(Knocking)

(Door latch clicks)

Amy's in bed.

Let me see.

Who did this?

My dad had a queer sense of humour.

(Meaning)

Karsten's a big softie

Some people have to be told.
