- Yeah.

Is it clean?

- Jesus, Donna.

Yeah.

Yes, perfect, okay.

As soon as you can, thank you.

Bye.

Do you fancy a drive to Glenorchy?

I don't mind.

We need to pick up Dave's drill.

Can I please go?

- It's hours away.

Why doesn't Dave just

bring it back here?

Because we're already asking

so many favors of him.

- Can I please go?

Okay, you're all gonna go.

You can take Matt's truck.

And you're the adult.

You're in charge.

# For today

# I'll remember your smile

Sorry about last night.

What do you think, Lily?

She's cuddly.

Cuddly?

F*** me.

Watch your language.

You're supposed to be the adult, remember?

It's okay, my daddy says f***.

Oh, sh*t.

Well that's not gonna work.

Nope.

I better phone Dave.

I'm gonna walk back to that garage.

Sure.

Yeah, hi, I need to get a tire fixed.

Could you do it tonight?

We've gotta get home.

Well, why the f*** do you have

your number on the door then?

It'll be fine.

It's fine, we'll check into a hotel.

Okay.

Well I'll call you in the morning.

Yeah, I'll be fine.

It'll be fine.

Okay, all right.

Is she coming to get us?

No, I told her we'd check

into the motel down the road.

Lily's asleep.

It's like a 20 minute walk.

We should just sleep in the truck.

Not sleeping in the truck.

She's happy.

It doesn't bother me.

Well, I guess we're

sleeping in the truck then.

Do you smoke pot?

It's illegal.

Are you an undercover cop?

I hate cops.

My dad was a cop.

Oh, sh*t.

What was that like?

It was okay.

He was pretty strict.

Hope I'm gonna be a

better dad than he was.

In what way?

Guess I just want my kid

to know that I love them.

You feel that?

Let them know they can do

whatever they want to do.

And that that's all right.

I mean, if they want to take up karate,

I'm not gonna force them

to play football, you know?

Come on, Jackie Chan.

It's stunning.

I like your accent.

Thanks.

Where are you from?

Kirkcaldy.

What?

Kirkcaldy.

Where's that?

It's just north of Edinburgh.

Where's that?

Uh, Scotland.

What's so funny?

I don't know,

I guess I just thought everyone

knew where Edinburgh was.

What's it like?

Um...

It's old.

It's beautiful.

It's got a castle.

Aye.

What about you, where are you from?

Up north.

Jesus, you don't make it easy, do you?

Mapou.

And where might that be?

I thought everyone knew where Mapou was.

# Swing low, sweet chariot

You gotta stay on your note.

Okay, all right.

# Swing low, sweet chariot

You're singing my note!

I can't help it.

Of course you can.

- I can't!

You're lucky I'm singing

this in the first place.

I'd get strung up back home

if I was caught singing this.
