Chasing Comets (2018) - full transcript

(flames whooshing)

(upbeat music)

(upbeat music)

- [Chase] When you're a
kid you spend so much time

living in your dreams you
don't really think about

what it's going to take to make them real.

My dream, was Rugby League.

Mum bought me a footy jersey
every year for my birthday.

Don't know how she could afford it

but somehow, she made it work.

My best mate Rhys, he loved his footy too.



- AFL!

- [Chase] Although he had a
funny way of passing it back.

- NRL!

- AFL!

- NRL!

- FAL!

- And, that's when I could stop him

from thinking he was Michael Jackson.

And even though NRL and AFL
are like chalk and cheese,

he made great tackling practice.

After dad left, me and
mum had some hard knocks.

Mums dream didn't quite
come true as she'd hoped.

But my dream, was rugby league.

And mum, she never stopped believing.



And so did H, he coached
me from when I was young.

He'd always say, "These eyes don't lie",

which meant he thought I could play,

but also, that I couldn't bludge.

Now he knew the standard was high,

but coming from a town like Wagga,

which has a rich history
of sporting greats,

and even greater haircuts,

I had a lot to live up to.

If I wanted to be great, I
had to trust the process.

I need to stay focused, disciplined, on,

on track, I need to run faster,

tackle harder and nothing

was gonna distract me from what...

What was I talking about again?

(upbeat music)

♪ You should know they're all the same ♪

♪ They know nothing about love ♪

(loud snoring)

- Sharon?

Shannon?

Shaniqua?

- What's up?

- Could I have the,

can you take the Jersey off?

- No, nope, not really up for round three.

- All right, well.

Here.

- I'm not a prostitute.

- Oh, no, no, no.

It's for the cab.

I've got a game to play, sorry.

- Wow.

All right.

There you go, champ.

Window, old school!

- [Chase] Yep, old school.

(Rachel laughing)

- Yeah look, just so you know,

I'm not looking for a relationship.

- I wasn't looking for a-

- Oh, there I go breaking hearts again.

Look, you seem like a good kid,

but I reckon you can do better.

You'll get there, tiger.

You will!

And it's Rachel!

G'day Noel!

- [Noel] Morning love.

(upbeat music)

- [Commentator] Gee I love
a tight game like this one.

The last five minutes,

well that'll sort the
men out from the boys.

We'll see who's done the
hard work off the field

and who's making the shortcuts.

And the thing about fatigue,

well it makes cowards out of us all.

(phone ringing)

- G'day H.

- [H] Big game today, you ready?

- Yeah, I'm ready.

- Well, you better be because the Cowboys

are sending down a scout to watch-

- Are they interested?

- Well I called every club,

but Greenie was the only
one that called back.

- Okay, well good.

- It's never too late, all right,

you've just got to want it
like your life depends on it

and play consistent.
- Consistent.

- That's right, and when it's
tough out there on the field

I want you to think of your
mother and how tough she had it.

- I got it H, you coming down?

- I get too nervous, you know that,

but I'll be listening at the usual.

(soft music)

(water rushing)

- [Mary] You're gonna
be late for the game.

- There's plenty of time, Mum.

- I found your jersey in the wash,

pretty interesting perfume.

That was your old man's old trick.

- Pray we win.

- I'll pray you do your best,

and that God gives you what
you need, not what you want.

- Love you.

- Go on.

(horn honking)

- Let's go people, let's go,

lock out starts in one minute.

Get your butt into gear, move it!

How was it?

- Yeah so good, so good.

- Hey Rhys,

can you at least pretend
to care about my audition?

- Babe, I care.

- Rhys, babe, babe just ugh,

listen I don't want to
have to be the girlfriend

to bring this up okay but,

you promised we'd be engaged by now.

- Yes babe, but that's why

I'm saving up for that
car we've always wanted.

- Yeah, the car you've always wanted.

- Baby, it's game day, okay?

- Okay, but were talking about
me moving in after, okay?

You did not tell me Chase was coming.

- Would you have done a quickie if I did?

- When's it not a quickie with you?

- So, how much did you see?

- About this much,

but I left before the old psh, blowhole.

(laughing)

- Bro, that's the best part.

You know a lot of people would
pay good money to see that,

to see all this.

- All what?

How much they pay for a one minute show?

And that's if you do it twice.

- You know game day sex, that's my thing.

Maybe, you know, you
should try it some time,

because you might get your fire back.

- Now don't start, all right.

Let me focus, okay?

- Focus as much as you want bro,

but you ain't gonna win anytime soon.

Unlike us, five years
in a row baby, no shame.

Soon to be six.

What do you do for a
drowning Comets player?

Nothing, you drag em to shore

and they're still going to choke anyway.

(upbeat music)

- [Female Reporter] Now
there's been a DeLorean

spotted around Wagga,

which can only mean one thing.

That's right, Mr Hollywood himself

and the owner of the Comets,
Sam Low is back in town.

- [Male Reporter] Oh my gosh.

- Yes, he is.

- [Male Reporter] Sam the
man, this should be good.

Maybe he's back in town to see the Comets

finish last for another year.

- [Female Reporter] You'll see,
the Comets will win this year.

- [Male Reporter] Your
delusional but okay,

tell me why they're going to win.

- [Female Reporter] Chase Daylight.
- [Male Reporter] Daylight who?

Didn't every NRL club like
want him, and now they don't?

The guys a myth, he's gone.

Look, if he hasn't made it by now,

he's not gonna make it.

(Chase sighs)

- Surprise.
- Hey.

- Hey. (Laughing)

- Didn't think you were coming.

- Nice hello. (Laughs)

Considering I've got an assignment

and I'm missing work to be here.

- I didn't ask you to miss work.

- I know you didn't.

- Sorry, that came out wrong.

- It's okay,

yeah.

Did you go out last night?

- Yeah, but I asked you to come.

- I know you did, but I said
you get edgy when you're tired.

And you didn't listen to me, you never do,

you just do what you want.

- Can we not do this now?

I got a game to play.

- Okay go, go play.

Yeah, I'll talk to you later I guess.

(somber music)

(upbeat music)

- [Chase] Hey.

- Ah, there he is.

- Chase.
- Hey.

Boys.

- Chase.

(toilet flushes)

- Did you bar Lulu last night?

Bro that chick's crazy, trust me I know.

Beef don't look so desperate, bro.

- All right, now that everyone's
finally decided to turn up,

let's get our head in the game.

Right, we've had a pretty good pre-season.

You've all trained real hard,

but it will mean nothing

if you don't take it out on that field.

Now Beefa, Mozz is your man.

How do you stop him?

- I don't know.

- I got you Beef.

You see when Mozz is running at you mate,

you look at his face,

you look him dead in the eyes,
you reach down to the field,

you pick up a bit of shit

and throw it right in his face, mate.

(laughing)

- There's no shit on the field.

- When Mozz is running
at you, there will be.

(laughing)

- All right, all right,

let's show the fans

and especially those people
that have written us off

that this is our year,
the year of the Comets.

Bring it in.

- Come on Chase, big game boys.

All right boys, massive game all right.

Put your hands in, let's get in there,

let's do it for the team, hey!

On three, Comets.

One, two, three, Comets!

- [Commentator] We're
moments from kick off

as last year's wooden
spooners, the Comets,

take on premiers, the Stingrays.

Disappointing crowd but the Comets

haven't had much to cheer
about for a long time.

- Coach.
- What?

- Sam Low.

- Ugh for crying out loud,
it's for coaches only.

I mean I don't tell him how to act.

Not that you call "Bold
and the Beautiful" acting.

- Someone say "Bold and the Beautiful"?

Actually, it was "Days of Our Lives",

I mean both quality shows
that stood the test of time.

(whistle blows)

- [Commentator] The kick-off is underway

and it's taken by Chase Daylight.

He takes a strong charge, ugh,

but you wouldn't believe it.

- Hold the ball!

- What's he doing, he's
had a brain explosion.

(upbeat music)

- Heard your girl's on the
lookout, bit unsatisfied.

Give her my number, would ya?

- [Commentator] Now there's a brouhaha.

Daylight's losing it.

- Thought I'd come here
to talk to the team,

do you think the boys would like that?

Of course, they would.

I mean, mark my words,

the Comets are going
to win this competition

and rugby league is gonna
be the number one code

again in Wagga.

- Thanks for your support, Sam.

- [Commentary] A glorious
day here at gummy gummy

for the first round of the AFL season.

The Hawks up against the Diamonds,
but here is what the crowd came to see.

Last year's MVP Reese Stuart looking fit

and rearing to go in the number nine.

And doesn't he love it?

- What?

(whistle blows)

Hold the ball!

(siren blares)

- Clap 'em off boys.

- [Commentator] Once again,

the Comets have come up with duck eggs.

- Making the same mistakes as last year

and getting the same
results, a big fat loss!

Everything we practiced,
we threw out the window!

They pulled our pants down today
boys and not in a good way!

There will be changes next week!

(door slams)

- How important was it to
get off to a good start,

considering let's be honest,
last year's abysmal effort?

- Actually, we all as a
group got together and,

took a vote and I don't know,

We wouldn't go for the wooden
spoon this year, you know?

- Well, there you have it.

I'm Kev Mcosker, original news.

(upbeat music)

(humming)

- Hey Dee, Rev will be out soon.

- How'd you go?

- Ugh.
- It's just a game.

- More than that to some.

When you going to come watch?

- You asking me out?
- No.

- It sounded like you were asking me out.

- What, I was not asking you out.

- Why else would you
want me to come watch?

- Well, I don't know-
- Footy's for losers.

(laughing)

I'm kidding.

The thought that not every
girl in Wagga wants you.

(sighs)

Dad says to never date
a footballer, never.

- What, the Rev says that?

- No, but I reckon he thinks it.

- Chicks.

- Yeah nice game numb
nuts, one of ya best.

Loser.

- I'll see you.
- Yeah, tomorrow.

Thanks and thank you again.

- Not sure you should be thanking me,

I mean, could they have
played any worse though?

- Hey!

- Chase, Chase, Chase!

He's my boss.

(Randall groaning)

He let me off work, he insisted
I come and support you.

- I don't know what to say.

- Maybe just say sorry.

- I am so sorry.

- You're lucky I don't call the cops mate.

Thanks for the coffee, Brooke.

- That's me new bag.

Bit of a sook, don't you think?

- What, do you think it's funny?

- It was a little bit funny.

But, I though he was hitting on you!

I walk up the steps and
your talking to a guy,

how do I know I can trust you?

- Great.

(engine starts)

- Brooke!

Hey!

(sighs)

Idiot.

(soft music)

- [Brooke] And you don't
listen to me, you never do.

You just do what you want.

Yeah, it's always a mistake with you.

Do you even want to be with me?

Just me?

- Car stuffed, mate?

Come on, let's go for a walk.

- [Chase] Do you and your wife ever fight?

- We have our moments.

- Moments I can handle.

- Look, having a barney's not a bad thing.

You know if handled correctly

you can bring yourselves closer.

- Well how do you handle it?

- Well I usually stuff it up,

but on a good day I admit my part in it,

I swallow my pride, I'm glad I
married a wife that forgives.

Prayer helps.

- This one's beyond prayer.

- Nothing's beyond prayer, Chase.

- Nice try Rev.

Mum's been on my case
for years, but I believe.

- Maybe God wants more.

All right, Chase, you had a shocker mate.

- Thanks, Rev.
- No worries.

- Aye there he is, there he is.

What's happening, baby?

- What's up?

- Bro, you look like crap.

It's just a game, it's
not the end of the world.

- Brooke, she...

- Oh, yeah.

I'm sorry, hey.

- You know what, I can't be here, bro.

I better go.

- Hey, hey, whoa, whoa,

- I can't give up on it,
you know what I mean?

I got to talk to her.

- I understand that but just chill out.

Bro, she's a woman.

You can't change her mind right now,

you just need to take it easy,

chill out and let's have a
few drinks, I got you, bro.

- Thanks, brother.

(Rhys sighs)

- To better days.

- Couldn't get any worse.

- Speaking of better days, ladies.

- [Woman] Hey, hi.

- This is my boy Chase,

they call him big Chase because
he's got a really big heart.

(women laughing)

- Has it been broken?

- Well, we know how to fix that.

You know, I've always had
a thing for footballers.

- What a coincidence, 'cause
I've always had a thing

for girls that like footballers.

(laughing)

- Ladies, can you excuse
us for just one second?

- What are you doing?

- I can't do this.

What about Sophie?

- We have an understanding,
the more she doesn't know,

the more she understands.

(laughing)

- One minute, please.

- Oh, sorry ladies.

His mum, she's really sick.

- Oh, really?

- He looks after her, four shots please.

- [Voicemail] Hey, it's
Brooke leave a message,

I'll call you back.

- Hey babe, it's me.

Can you just, just call me back, okay?

We need to talk.

All right, bye.

- Well, how's your mum?

- She's, she's fine.

- Cheers.
- Cheers.

(upbeat music)

- [Voicemail] Hey this
is Chase, leave a message

and I'll get back to ya, cheers.

- Hey, I'm coming over.

(knocking)

- It's a pretty familiar story
in this house, unfortunately.

His dad set a very ordinary
example when he left.

Let us both down,

but that's no excuse.

(sighs)

- I just, I really love him.

I just, I don't know what to do.

- I stayed,

I put up with it.

I was so blind desperate
for Chase to have a dad,

even if it was someone who
wasn't very good to us.

- That would have been so hard.

(somber music)

- If you don't trust Chase,

know what you deserve, go find it.

Don't settle for anything less.

I'll pray for you.

- It's okay.

I'm going to go find him.

Thank you, Mary.

(Leona laughing)

- [Chase] Whoa.

(laughing)

- Rhys?

♪ Who are you ♪

♪ Who are you playing for ♪

♪ Ooh ♪

♪ Who are you ♪

♪ Who are you playing ♪

- Brooke!

Brooke.

Brooke!

- Hey, I called and you didn't answer!

- Don't you dare blame this on me!

- Who's that?

- You hungry, brother?

(upbeat music)

Thought I'd catch you something

before the five o'clock wave.

(groans)

It's hard to go anywhere
without being recognized.

- Sorry mate, she might of recognized you

if one of your films had got a release.

- Please, laugh all you want,

but this acting career has
taken me all over the world

to places that haven't even
heard of, aerial Ping-Pong.

- All right, fair point,

but you are far more likely

to get up a beach volley
ball comp in the arctic

then you are to make rugby league

the number one code in
the fair city of Wagga.

- Oh, please, please.

When people talk of this great town,

the first thing they
say is Peter Sterling,

The Mortimer brothers, Eric Whisell.

- Terry Daniher, Jeff
Kingston, Billy Moore.

- Greg Brentnall, Steve
Munn, Arther Salmon.

- Cam Mooney, Paul Kelly,
Wayne Kerry, The Ducks.

Should I go on?

- You'll see, the Comets
will win this year.

- They have been wooden
spooners for four years.

- I didn't get to the top
by listening to statistics.

- Mate, you didn't get to the middle.

- I bet you the Comets will finish

ahead of where the Hawks end up.

(Warren laughing)

- Is this a wager?

(Sam groans)

- I couldn't take money from family.

- Fair enough,

the loser has to run around town,

in the nude.

(upbeat music)

- I believe we have a deal, brother.

(upbeat music)

(phone vibrating)

(phone vibrating)

(Rhys humming)

(upbeat music)

(upbeat music)

- Bro, she'll come back to you.

If not, you know, there's
plenty more fish in the sea

and I just feel like fishing.

(engine blows)

(Chase yelling)

Oh, my gosh.

- Talk about this later.

(coughs)

Ah I'm so sorry, baby.

Oi sexual chocolate, come
have a look, will ya?

- I wouldn't have a clue.

- But you love cars.

- Ah I love driving them, not fixing them.

- Chill, bro.

(horn honks)

(Chase groans)

(horn honks)

- Is it working?
- No!

- Hosaih, Joel, Amos, Obadiah,

Jonah, Micah, Naomh and Habocup.

- Very good, Louise.

(horn honking)

I'm gonna go checkout
what that horns about.

Yeah, keep it going
that's very, very good.

- Should I start from the top?

- [Rev] Yeah, why not?

(horn honking)

- Shut up!

- What about now?
- Chase, Chase,

if you wanted to come to church mate

you could of just knocked.

- Sorry about the noise, Rev.

- That's all right mate,

have you been praying
for a sign or something?

- That's Rhys.

- Hey Rhys, my daughter Dee.

Hey Dee, why don't you check it out?

- Dee knows her stuff.

- Yeah, I taught her everything she knows.

I used to steal them before
the big fella got a hold of me.

Still do one every now and
then when offerings are low.

- So, Dee,

(laughing)

what a coincidence that we met like this,

like our car broke down

at your church, maybe it's a sign.

Maybe its destiny, maybe we should

meet up sometime.

- I don't really go out with strangers.

- You've never heard about me?

- Should I have?

- Yeah.
- No.

- We've got a gathering
inside if you want to pop in.

Look, if you don't like
it, I won't hassle ya.

- I would, Rev,

but I've got that with me.

- Hey Rhys, want to come inside?

Have a bit of a feed,
read a bit of the bible?

- You going to be there?
- Mm-hmm.

- Well then, hell yeah.

I mean, yeah hallelujah,
praise the lord, let's go.

- So, you'd go out with someone

who's saving sex for marriage?

Its stuffed, it needs to cool down.

It's not the only thing.

- Come on in, fellas.

Okay everyone, this is Chase and Rhys.

- Now that they're here,
should we lock the door?

- She's kidding.

- But we will need to strip
you for our initiation.

- That's true.

- Funny.

Just for the record, I have
no problems with nudity.

- Great.

- Right, now that everyone's seated.

Let's start by getting to know
each other a little better.

Here's a question, what excites you?

- God.

- Nice one, Louise.

Can anyone else or anything
else, other than God?

- The Bible.

- Chase?

- Traveling, I like traveling.

- I just got back from traveling.

- You went to Titty Bong,
it's like a five-hour drive.

- It's still traveling.

- Look, in Estelle's defense,

Titty Bong is actually
a very, very nice place.

Anyone else?

- I get excited about diversity.

- Hmm.

- I mean, don't you think it's amazing

that there are a billion
girls in the world

yet every single one
of them are different?

Like that just blows my mind.

- Says a lot about God's
creativity, don't you think?

- I don't really like to think about God

and girls at the same time but,

by the way, how did you
even score your misses

because I don't see a guide dog anywhere.

- Well let's just say, some
people are a little bit deeper.

You know, not too much into looks.

- Well I just hope God doesn't hold it

against the blessed ones.

(chuckles)

(bell ringing)

- That'll be the pizza.

(upbeat music)

- Relationships, families
it's always hard mate,

especially for blokes like us,

you know we've never
had a dad on the scene.

And we have to toy a little bit harder

to have a happy relationship,

because we never saw it work at home.

- There was no middle ground with dad,

he was either yelling and slamming doors

or out the door.

- Yeah.

Just hang in there, this is a good step.

Everyone here, we're here for you.

Okay, can we all take our seats?

Let's end in prayer.

Now who would like to lead us?

(Rhys clears throat)

- I will.

Thanks God, for loving everyone,

even really weird people.

- And God, we're sorry when we blow it,

but thanks for looking past our actions,

for giving us, sticking by us,

and loving us for who we are.

Help us to accept that love and trust you.

For those of you that want to get closer,

God sees your heart.

- Amen.

- [All] Amen.

- Amen.

What?

- I seen you in there,
you were digging it.

I mean, I just can't imagine
you being like, one of them.

- You do you, okay?

- Well at least you get to
sleep with multiple wives, aye?

- Pretty sure that's a
different faith, mate.

- Oh yeah, well no sex before marriage.

(laughing)

You're stuffed, mate.

A little hallelujah is all
good, but just don't change.

(upbeat music)

- Amen, man.

- [Tom] So she's playing
with my nipples, right?

- Why the nipples?

- Because the nipples are
an erogenous zone, okay?

- Interesting.

- Anyway, she's playing with my nipples,

and it's starting to hurt, boys.

Truth be told, it's probably
a little bit too hard,

but who am I to judge?

Because there's a fine line
between a nipple massage

and a nipple cripple.

Remember that Beefa for next time

you're playing with your
dog's nipples, all right?

(laughing)

- Okay, I only did that
once to fluffy, all right?

- Oh yeah, righto.

- Oh, cheer up Beefa you
big bloody sook, look,

I'll make it up to you, all right?
How about this weekend we go out

and you's can all run off me, ay?

- [Team] Yeah!

- Better yet, Chase can
come and we can run off him.

There's always good sorts
hanging around him, are we in?

- [Team] Yeah!

- You in, Chase?

- I can't.

- Why?

- Well I got church the next day.

- [Tom] Are you being serious?

- Well I mean I got a
wedding at the church.

- Sounds good, right.

If we don't want another flogging
like we did last weekend,

can I strongly suggest, I
don't know, playing better?

I said there would be a few
changes and here they go.

Tucker, Pricey you're on
which means Bird, Daylight,

you're on the bench, all right?

Hit the showers.

Daylight.

- Stay strong, brother.

- Look mate, I know it's hard,

but if I don't start with the
best then the rest follow suit

we're wooden spooners again.

- Yeah, but coach-

- I need you to do what's
right for the team.

(soft music)

- Chase, don't worry about it man,

keep your head up, all right?

Everyone's got bad days mate,
you'll bounce back, trust me.

- Cheers Tommy, it's good
to have mates like you.

- Stay strong, man.

(chase grunts)

- Ow, come on mate.

It's just a little golden shower, mate.

Everyone's doing it.

Hey, Beefa.

(relaxing music)

- You got any chiko rolls yet, Kin?

Look, I am your best customer,

I'm your only bloody customer.

If you want people back
in, get the chiko rolls.

- But chiko rolls are made
in Bathurst, not Wagga.

- No here, Wagga Wagga, a place
so nice they named it twice.

- I'll ask Kwon.

- [Commentator] And we
are now moments away

from the second match of the season

as the Comets take on the-

- Great chiko rolls,
state of origin calls in.

- He said, if you want a chiko roll

go to his home town where
it came from, Bendigo.

- Can you remind Kwon,

that the Chiko roll was first sold

at the Wagga Wagga show in 1951?

- You want me to tell him again?

- I'll just get the usual.

- Very good, Mr Harry.

- [Commentator] Another loss,

and to put it bluntly the Comets are-

- Get it, Amy.

(somber music)

- What happened?

- I just gave away too
many stupid penalties.

- And what would you put that down to?

- Stupidity.

- Still, without that last
try it would have been a draw,

not a bad result.

- I got mixed feelings about draw's Kev.

It's like watching your mother in law
drive off a cliff in your new car.

- [Commentator] And Daylight
once again is on the bench.

It seems like only yesterday

that the NRL club were chasing him.

What a waste of talent, this
kid could have been anything.

- Now everyone here has their story,

and what I've learnt as
I've gotten to know myself

is that it was more of
a cry for attention,

you know, I just wanted
to feel important, valued.

- G'day.

- You've got a lot of
nerve showing up here.

- Yeah, but Mr Johnson-

- Look, she doesn't want to see you.

- [Commentator] This is
happening just far too often,

and look at Daylight, he
can't even get on the paddock,

he is one unhappy camper.

- Now I learnt a lot of
hard truths along the way.

They weren't easy to hear,

especially when they come
from the ones you love.

Sometimes I thought I was going backwards.

- [Commentator] To be fair,
that was a gutsy effort,

but in this game if you
don't have confidence

and leadership, you can't win.

- Hopeless, hopeless.

- I look down at my wife and daughter

and how close I came
to losing them forever.

I'm glad I pushed through.

- [Commentator] Coach Munsey's filthy.

Look, I'm a good mate of his,
we drink at the same pub,

we even dated the same
girl, but I digress.

If he still thinks they can win the comp,

he is off his head.

Well, Daylight can pray all he likes,

but it ain't going to help the Comets.

Switching codes, the Hawks
continue their dream run

with Rhys Stuart on fire.

- Hey.
- Hey.

- [Beefa] How's it going?

- Tom.
- Yo.

- Liam Door from the Cowboys.

- Hey, how are you, nice to meet you.

- Good to meet you too,

you've been doing some
good things out there.

- Thanks.

- But I'm a bit worried
about your defense.

- That's because I don't like to tackle,

so just put me on the wing
and I'll be all right.

- I don't know Rev, it's just,

it's getting hard to see the
light at the end of the tunnel.

- Your times coming, mate.

- I wish I had your confidence.

Now I don't want to sound like
I'm whingeing or anything,

but ever since I decided to follow,

things have gotten worse.

- Hey, don't shoot the messenger.

- But think about it, my
career's in the toilet.

I see other dudes get approached
by scouts all the time.

- Mate, I know it's tough

and look I know how much this means to you

and I know, look, sometimes
the way that things work out

isn't the way we imagined,

but he knows what he's doing,

even if we don't know what he's doing.

- It's not just the footy, it's Brooke.

You know the way I treated her.

- You can't live with regret,
right, we all stuff up.

Have you tried to talk to her?

If you love her enough
you've got to let her go.

Look, if it comes back

maybe you'll both be in a better place.

- Or I could lose her forever.

- Well, that is a possibility.

- Why do I feel like you've
lead me down the garden path?

- Yeah, you're not the first
person who's told me that

and I don't think you'll be the last.

How you feeling on the inside?

- Well honestly,

better.
- Good.

Look, hey.

Chase, you need to give
yourself some time out.

Mate, it's not all about sex,
yeah, it's about intimacy.

You need to get to know
the girl's heart, okay?

It's easier to bare your
ass than to bare your soul.

Faith, relationships, they're
a marathon, not a sprint.

- How's Dee, mate?

- Good.

- What's she up to tonight?

- Oh, mate she's doing that thing

called none of your business.

- One more, it's on him.

- Hey, I saw Brooke out the other night.

Bro, she was looking oh.

Just kidding man, hashtag not kidding.

- We're sort of taking a break, you know?

- So you're saying I could of-
- Shut up.

- I'm only joking.

So, who you seeing now then?
- No one.

- Bro look at me, we've
been mates for a long time,

you've never had a dry spell this long.

Who are you seeing?

- I started going to church.

- That club out the back of...

- No.

- Oh, you haven't gone all churchy on me.

No, no.

- Look it's not just about church,

it's about your relationship with God.

- What about it?

- I want to follow him.

- Where?

- Well I don't know,
anywhere he wants to take me.

- Hang on stop, stop.

Are you being serious with me right now?

- Yeah, I'm being serious,
I'm really serious, I am.

- Remember my cousin Bella,
remember the 22-year-old one,

sexy, you know we used
to, nice body, nice hair?

Right, well get this.

She's saving it for marriage,
she hasn't, she's never been,

you know what I mean?

She's crazy, she's lost it.

- That's why she turned me down they, ay?

- Hey, you never talk about my
family like that, all right?

Only I can talk about my
family like that, all right?

- I'm sorry.
- It's all good, bro.

- Look just, just do me a favor, yeah?

Just keep it under your hat.

- Bro, trust me I will
not say a word, all right?

We've been teammates for a
very, very, very long time.

And I love ya all right?

Okay, trust me.

- Love you, man.
- Love you too, bro.

- Boys, bring it in, bring it in.

Chase has got something
to tell everyone, come on.

Bring it in, turn around,
come on eyes up Beef, eyes up.

Tell 'em, Chase.

- I've decided to follow God.

- Where?

- Beef, not yet mate,
don't ask stupid questions.

Mate, I like where you're going,
but it's not the best bit.

Go on, tell 'em Chase, tell 'em.

- I'm...

- He's saving it for marriage,

he's not gonna do it
until he gets married.

(laughing)

He's saving it for marriage.

(laughing)

Why you laughing Beef, at
least he's got a choice in it.

You've got no choice in your life.

- Oh.
- Oh, I'm only joking, Beef.

- Your cold as ice Tom, you know that.

- Beef, I'm only joking.

I'm only joking.

I'm only joking, it's footy!

- Get away!

- It's footy!
- Get away from me!

- This is what we do, it's footy!

(screams)

It's footy, Beefa!

(laughing)

(upbeat music)

- In the world of sports,
scandals are not uncommon

and here's a whopper.

(dramatic music)

(farting)

- Poor bastard.

- What the!

- Ugh.

- Oh, your tense.

- What?

(calm music)

- [Commentator] He's done it, he's scored.

(phone dings)

(phone dings)

(phone dings)

(phone dings)

(sirens wailing)

(upbeat music)

- Oh bro, you remember her?

Remember that night we
had, I think she wanted me,

I could never be with a DJ,
she would be too erotic for me.

Oi, bro.

Did you hear me, she would be too erotic.

- I think you mean erratic.

- Yeah, that too.

- Plus, you're with Sophie.

(Rhys sighs)

- You know she bought up

the whole proposal thing the other day,

but why buy the cow when we
can get the milk for free?

(upbeat music)

- Thought you were going
to ignore me all night.

(laughing)

- Oh shoot, sorry.

- Okay close your eyes and
don't open them until I say.

Stop.

Okay.

Now.

(soft music)

So, tell me about this
girl that's got to you.

I've been there, a few times.

Till I worked this relationship thing out.

- You worked it out?

- Just got to realize that
if you don't really care,

you can't really get hurt.

- Does that really work for you?

- Well, don't hold out on me.

Come on man, give me the juice.

- Honestly, she was, nothing happened.

- Nothing happened?

I can still smell her on
you, you little horn dog.

You've always been one,
you always will be.

Plus, you can't argue with science, bro.

- What are you jabbering about?

- We're not wired for monogamy.

- All right look, obviously I wanted to.

She was...

- Oh amen, hallelujah.

- But I didn't it just
felt wrong you know,

I can't explain it.

- Oh please, look at
the animal kingdom, bro.

You know of the five
thousand species of mammals,

did you know only 5% max, that's max,

will form lifelong bonds.

- Okay Moufassa, that's
enough now, you can be quiet.

- 5% bro, that's not you.

- Where do you get this stuff?

I mean really, you didn't
even finish school.

- Well you know I make it
my business to know, bro.

- Oh, look no offense, I love you,

but I'm not taking
relationship advice from you.

- Whoa, first of all that hurt.

Second of all, I am a great lover.

- Is that why you and Sophie are so happy?

- Oh, so it's like that?

No, that's sweet bro, fine.

Just so you know don't tell
me how you're gonna change,

you want to change, but then
you go and sleep with a hot DJ.

- I did not have sex.

- No, no, no, no.

Actually, I, nah, I don't
want to hear it all.

I don't want to hear about your faith,

I don't want to hear
about Brooke, nothing.

It's all good, we good, we good.

It's okay.

♪ Mr, Mr, don't treat me so unkind ♪

♪ Mr, Mr, oh I'd be so inclined ♪

- Righto fellas, I'll be honest with ya,

not our best field session.

We just need to get our mojo back

because I don't know about you,

but I don't want to be the laughing stock

of this town again.

Sure, we've lost some
games we should of won,

but for heaven's sake let's not let fear

and panic creep back in.

Let's just do the simple things right.

Now, here's my old mate rubbish Binnie.

G'day, Binnie.

He's a marker, if I tap
him on the right cheek

which way's he gonna move, Beefa?

- Ooh,

left?

My left, your right.

- Exactly and then we
pounce on their dummy half

and put a shot on him if we can.

Righto?

Now we got that clear?

- Go home, Chase.

- [Chase] Brooke, could
you just talk to me?

Look I'm sorry, it was a mistake.

- I've got an exam.

- I love you, can you
just stop, just stop.

- Just get out of my way.
- Just hear me out.

- No!

I don't want this anymore.
- I can change.

- You've been saying that for two years,

I can't handle anymore fighting.

- Everyone fights.
- Not all the time.

- Babe, it's normal.

- Well if its normal, I'm not, I don't-

- Can you come somewhere with me?
- [Brooke] Are you serious?

- It's a church thing.

(Brooke sighs)

- Church?

- Yeah.
- Since when?

- Since now.

I've been treating you real shit

and the church stuff's helping me.

I'm not saying I have changed, I'm just,

I love you and I'm trying.

Can you,

can you come with me?

- Wooden, they said I was wooden.

- Awesome.

- No, it's not a good thing.

- What does it mean?

- Are you serious?

- Babe, I wouldn't have a clue,

I'm not a part of the
entertainment industry.

(Sophie sighs)

Although, some would argue
that sports is entertainment.

All right, wooden.

A flat, lifeless, lack luster performance,

one dimensional is also accepted.

- Well thank you, thanks, that
makes me feel so much better.

- What?

- No, you know what just be real with me.

You don't care about me or my career Rhys,

all you give a crap
about is that stupid car

and your footy games.

- I've got a game.
- Are you kidding me?

- I'm going to be late.

- No, you're not leaving me right now.

- I love you.

- No, I swear to god if you walk out.

Rhys!

I am leaving, okay, I am going home.

- What did I do?

(somber music)

- Many of you know my past,

it's a bit shady to say the least.

I pretty much ticked all the
boxes of being a bad boy.

You name it, I did it.

Psychiatrists had written me off,

irreparable damage to my brain.

My wife wont attest to that,

but God doesn't look to
the past when he sees us.

He looks at our future and what it can be,

the possibilities, because he values us.

- Are you okay?

- [Rev] And we all want value.

- Yeah, I just, I don't
know what I'm doing here.

- Its' all right.

- It's okay, you stay, I'm gonna go.

- Well, it hurts.

- [Brooke] I know you can't see it,
but it will be good for us.

- Not for me.

- [Brooke] For me then.

- Just tell me what I can
do to make it up to you.

- Remember when we met

and you told me about how your dad left

after he cheated on your mum?

And he'd come back.

She'd take him back again
and then he'd do it again.

- I was there.
- Yeah, I know.

You didn't deserve it.

Your mum didn't deserve it.

Neither do I.

(soft somber music)

- Where's Rhys?

- At his girlfriends.

- You okay?

You other friend left in a hurry.

- Brooke, my ex-girlfriend, she had to go.

Can't blame her, only so
much one person can take.

- You know, dad didn't kick
his drug habit for a long time.

I remember him screaming at my mum

in the middle of the night
completely off his face.

It was full on,

but look at him now.

Mum did have to kick him out twice,

until he proved that he
was serious about changing.

- We had a similar childhood.

I'm sorry you had to go through that.

Didn't realize the Rev
had such a colorful life.

- I know right, didn't
mind a party, the old Rev.

Just quietly, I still catch
him having the odd bong

every now and then.
- Really?

- No.

- I shouldn't.

- Hey, listen,

sometimes the big fella closes the door

because he has another plan,

so just hang in there.

- Thanks, coach.

- Anytime, just call me,

text me, 24/7 that's me.

(upbeat music)

- [Sophie] You are not
leaving me right now.

No, I swear to god if you walk out, Rhys!

I'm leaving okay, I'm going home.

- [Kev] Rhys Stuart.

- Yeah, I don't understand it Kev,
I mean, the kid is consistently brilliant.

He's the type of bloke
who gets up at six o'clock

in the morning regardless
of what time it is,

but something's going on, I mean he was

not good.

- Well you heard it, six
o'clock in the morning everyday.

Switching codes in the
news doesn't get any,

I think your still in shot.

- Oh sorry, sorry.

- I'll just pick it up again.

(audience cheering)

- [Commentator] There goes
Daylight, he's through!

That's more like it, this kid can play.

Pinch me, I'm dreaming.

- Go boys!

(bell dings)

(phone ringing)

- Hello, is this the
world-renowned actor Sam Low?

With four illustrious Razzi awards?

- It was four nominations,
but I only one won.

(Warren laughs)

Oh, you!

- Hello, little brother.

Hey, I've got a favor to ask you.

- [Sam] Why should I help you out?

- Well it's not for me, one
of our players, Rhys Stuart.

- He's a Kiwi, he should
be learning the Haka

and using those thunder
thighs to pump up players

left, right and center.

- Mate, he is a star.

- He wouldn't cut it in league anyway.

- Hey, you and I both know that
AFL players are far fitter.

You wouldn't see a leagie
running 15Ks in a game.

- Try running 10 meters with
four players on your back!

- Try going for a mark
getting elbows in your face.

- It's easy to jump if
you're wearing a singlet,

I mean singlets were made for
frolicking down at the beach.

- I am 45, I've got a dickie knee

and I've had a triple bypass

and I could still play
a full game of league.

- See ya later, big brother.

- Wait, wait, wait, wait.

Its Rhys' girl, he's, she's,

she's an actor blah, blah, blah.

She wants to run some lines with you.

- What's it to you?

- Well, that'd make him happy

and when he's happy he plays well so,

I'd like to keep him happy.

- [Sam] Well, they'll have to
come to me, but I'll do it.

- Really?

- Mm-hm, I'm willing to
put our differences aside

for a fellow thespian.

I bid you sweet adjure my brother.

(upbeat country music)

- I feel like something deep-fried, Kin.

Full of meat, cabbage, celery,

barley, rice, onion, carrot, green beans

and spices all wrapped up in a lovely roll

and dropped in one of your pots of fat.

- You no fool me Mr Harry,
that's a chiko roll.

(Harry laughs)

- Just give me the usual, mate.

- Right away, Mr Harry.

(speaking foreign language)

- You hungry?
- Nah, I'm good thanks.

- Make that two, Kin.

(Kin speaking in foreign language)

I'm gonna dive straight in here.

How am I gonna get you an NRL contract,

when you can't make the starting side

in a team that's losing everything?

- Well it's a bit hard to show
what I've got from the bench.

- Bloody coach of yours
wouldn't know a good footballer

if it bit him in the ass.

Useful as tits on a bull.

Now what's all this talk
about God and stuff?

Not taking money...

- It doesn't work like that.

- He's not doing you any
favors right now anyway, is he?

I've been calling club after club

and I'm not even getting a call-back.

This is a crucial time for you mate.

Now, how bad do you want it?

- I want it.

- All right, you doing any extras?

- Of course.

- Well when your opportunity
happens and it will,

and you're ready for it up here,

there'll be no stopping you, mate.

All right?

Asian spicy, Kin, not Australian spicy.

- [Kin] Yes, Mr Harry.

- Oh, okay. (Sighs)

Okay, just focus Sophie,

one phone call from Sam
to any producer or agent.

(sighs)

My dream.

- Hey.
- Wait, what are you doing?

- I was just trying to be supportive.

- No, I meant what I said, okay?

We're not getting back together.

- Welcome, welcome to my humble abode.

- Thank you so much for
seeing me today, Mr Low.

- Hold on, the name's Sam
and the pleasure is all mine.

- Oh.

- Besides Mr Low makes
me sound kind of ancient.

So how old do you think I am anyway?

- I don't know, mid 30s?

- Ha, ha, ha, you almost got
me there you cheeky bugger.

Shoot us would you, Ronaldo?

- Here, you've got to
do this for me, okay?

No, just do it.

- So, I'm Will and you're Millie.

- Yep.
- And action!

Come with me.

- I can't believe you still feel this way.

- I'm human Millie,

here I am willing to let go of everything.

- This can't be real.

- Touch me, feel me,

I am real.

- Then take what's yours.

- Keep filming Raymond, this is gold!

(Sophie gasps)

And cut.

Put that on YouTube and see how we go.

(soft music)

(Dee sighs)

- Yeah, I don't know.

I guess the biggest tests
aren't when everything's cruisy.

When it's all going your way,

when you don't get what you want,

it's when life sucks.

Yeah, that's faith, sticking
it out when you'd rather bail.

- I'm proud of you, you know that?

It's not everyone that
can confront their demons.

It takes courage, it takes resilience.

So, I'd like to take this opportunity

to say that my man of the match-

(clears throat)

Is...

Actually, why don't I
take this opportunity

to bring in someone who
needs no introduction.

- Thanks, coach.

Recently,

I was on set with Jean-Claude Van Damme

and I was gonna show Van Damme

a little kick that I invented,

and in between takes,

in between takes I had to stop Jean-Claude

and I said, "Jean-Claude, wait!

"Stop, I'm too distracted!"

'Cause I'm thinking about you, The Comets.

No matter where I am in the world,

the Comets

are always in my heart.

Who is it?
- Chase Daylight.

- The kid's back, I mean I'm not saying

he's the best forward on the
team but you know, none better.

- Yeah, so...

- [Commentator] Daylight's on fire

and gee, the Comets are looking dangerous.

(Kin laughing)

- Your boy, he's very good.

- Chase, Chase, Chase!

Outstanding form, you must
be very, very excited,

but the celibate thing,

it must be hard.

- Yeah, it gets a bit hard
at times you know but-

(Kevin laughing)

- I'm just messing with you man,

just messing, just a bit of...

- So why do you think bad stuff
happens to good people then?

- Do you really want to talk about this?

- [Tom] Yes, yeah.

- Well I'm still learning
but, aye that's my towel!

- Pressure, some people eat it,
some people get eaten by it,

but today for the first
time in this team's history

we showed why we deserve
to be in the finals!

- [Team] Yes!

- Comets!
- Aye!

- Comets!
- Aye!

- Comets!
- Aye!

- [Team] Yeah!

- It's a big week for both codes

as the Comets seek their first ever title

and the Hawks, their sixth consecutive.

As usual Wagga Wagga is
a buzz with footy fever-

- Mcosker, hey Mcosker!

Kevy, Kevy,

hey Kevy Mcosker!
- Pick that up.

As usual Wagga Wagga is a buzz with-

Yo Mcosker, Kevy!

Hey, woo-hoo, Kevy!

Woo-hoo, Kevy!

- As usual.

was a good field session.

Now.

(sighs)

We're all well aware of
how important tomorrow is,

not only to us but to
our family and friends,

this club, our whole town,

even that place just outside of town

where I get my waxing done.

So, I want you to come up with one word

that best describes your
commitment to this team.

- Relentless, because I'm
just gonna keep coming at 'em

all day, coach.

- Good one, Tommy.

- Mongrel, we're the toughest guys I know

and together we can smash them.

- Selfless, do anything for
the boys no matter what.

- Yeah, the boys.

- Photosynthesis.

- Where does photosynthesis
come into this team, Beefa?

- Photosynthesis is
the biggest word I know

and tomorrow is gonna be
the biggest game of my life.

Yeah.

Yeah.

(upbeat music)

- Thanks for coming, I know
it's a busy week for ya.

The Cowboys did put a call-in,

Greeny says you've been
doing some good stuff, but,

it's only his opinion.

- He's one of the best in the business.

- Even experts can get it wrong.

- Thanks for trying H, I mean it.

- Hey, you know why I helped out

when you were a little tacker,

decided to manage you for free, hey?

Your mum and her sacrifice.

When your dad shot
through, she had nothing.

She had two jobs she was working,

she shopped at St Vinnie's for herself

and every cent that she spent was on you.

She went the distance
because she believed in you.

Look, I know what I saw when I saw this

little superstar running around the field.

Hey, you're a champ

and hey, these eyes don't lie.

- [Commentator] Now Swayne,
for the rugby tackle.

Enormous hit, that
would've left a mark there

and it came from Stevens.

Jason Stevens, welcome
back to the starting line.

(somber music)

- Hey Raymond, give my regards to Sophie.

- We're gonna write a
little bit of history today

and we're not writing
that history for you,

we're writing this history for the town,

for those we love, for
those we care about.

That's who we're playing for today.

Rhys, you with us, yeah?
- Yeah.

- All right, the game plan is this,

kick it to Rhys, kick it to Rhys,

kick it to Rhys, Rhys, goal.

Now this team, this club,
we use the corridor.

Some teams don't like the corridor,

some teams think there
are poisonous snakes

in the middle of the ground.

There are not poisonous snakes
in the middle of the ground.

We are playing the corridor,
straight down the guts,

get that ball moving forward,

at all times, quick hands, quick hands!

Okay boys, bring it in.

Now, what are we gonna do?

- [Team] Win!

- [Warren] What are we going to do?
- [Team] Win!

- Where are we going to play?

The corridor!
- [Team] The corridor!

- Where we gonna play?
- The corridor!

- Right, let's get out there!

Let's make some history, boys!

Let's make some history!

- Let's go, let's go!

- Come on boys, come on boys,
gather round, gather round.

Now today's not about who's fitter.

It's not who's stronger.

Not even about who's
smarter, it is about this,

it's about your jam tart.

And if you do everything
you can for each other

we'll win this game, I promise you that.

Now Chase, you got Becket what's his move?

- Right foot step, carries left.

- Beefa, Collins.

- I'm going to tear him from limb to limb,

piece by piece and drink
the blood of my enemies.

His children are going to
cry out screaming, daddy.

Daddy!

And I'm gonna turn to them and say,

Beefa's now your daddy.

- I like it, a little bit
creepy, but I like it.

Tom, you got Palma, what do you do?

- Give him straight to daddy.

(laughing)

- All right boys, bring
it in, bring it in.

(clapping)

- Right boys big game,
this is why we're here,

hands in, Comets on three, all right?

Make some noise!

- [All] One, two, three, Comets!

(uplifting music)

(audience cheering)

- You suck, Chase!

I'm joking.

- [Commentator] The Comets
fans have turned out

in their droves today to
witness their first ever

grand final appearance.

Can the Comets do it,
can they make history?

(uplifting music continues)

(whistle blows)

(audience cheering)

Here's the kick off,

it goes straight into
the waiting arms of Lance

who charges at the line but
wham, bam, thank you ma'am!

Daylight absolutely smashed it!

Beat against the wall for the Stingrays,
he's made a nice charge.

He looks for an offload but
is brought down by Thacker

in a really solid tackle.

The Stingrays go again,
this time threw to Beaut,

but he's flung to the ground
in a football of all tackle.

Now they go wide, Peters to Cornell.

(audience cheering)

Intersected by Beaumont,
the Comets are on the gun!

Beaumont to Daylight, he's short now but...

- Come on!

- He charges, his tackle did not hold,

he slips it back to Daylight.

He's over, he's over!

The Comets are in!

- Yes!

(audience cheering)

Kin, did you hear that?

If they don't pick him for
the NRL their crazy, crazy!

- Congratulations!

(laughing)

- Keep filming Raymond, this is good.

- Rhys, come on!

Rhys what, what is he doing?

Quick hands, come on, come on!

(whistle blows)
Up!

Come on.

Come on!

Umpire!

He's all over him!

(whistle blows)

Rhys!

Righto, get out there, go.

Go, do a good job!

Bit more torque, tell
'em we want more torque!

Sit down.

(audience cheering)

- [Commentator] Well what
a game we've had here

and the Stingrays through Taylor

and attacked the Comet's side.

16-12 there's only minutes left,

now Pitch threw onto Reeno
onto Fordum, he's through!

Daylights stopping, Daylight
strides, he's chasing him.

- Tackle him!

- [Commentator] He's
too late, Fordum's over,

the Stingrays are back in this, baby.

16 all with a kick to come.

Well Fordum's just given
Daylight a gob full

and reminded him who the premiers are.

- Come on, boys!

- [Commentator] Daylight won't give up,

but you can see the disappointment

in the faces of the Comets supporters.

The conversion's good and
the Stingrays lead 18-16.

Oh, I wonder what coach Munsey's thinking,

but knowing Munsey it's probably not much.

- Hey, you know why I helped you out

when you were a little tacker.

Your mum and her sacrifice.

She went the distance
because she believed in you.

- [Commentator] Daylight
prepares to get things underway.

There's only minutes remaining.

The Comets might get
one, maybe two more sets

to pull a rabbit out of a hat.

Let's see what they've got.

Murray takes hit up,

but Daylight rips the ball
in a one on one steal!

They've got balls on them,

they'll get one more throw of the dice!

Thomas onto Mitchell, he double pumps

and there's Daylight charging at the line

He gets it up, great ball to Beefa.

He bursts through, they won't stop him!

Beefa is over, he's scored,

the Comets win their
first ever grand final!

The crowd has gone wild, look at Sam Low!

It's like he's won an
Oscar instead of a Razzi.

Can you believe it?!

(whistle blows)

The Comets have made history,

everyone had written them
off except themselves.

(upbeat music)

(audience cheering)

(phone ringing)

- Richo.

- I'm the first to admit
that I'm wrong, Harry.

Chase Daylight reminds me a
lot of a young Jason Stevens.

Except he's a lot fitter

and he doesn't have a face
like a smashed in pie.

(upbeat music)

(audience cheering)

- Well done.
- Thank you, Rev.

- It was all over

and I was just standing
there like an idiot filming.

Just so yuck.

You know what the worst part was?

Just knowing that, you know,

she's not mine to hold anymore.

(Chase sighs)

- I'm sorry you had to
go through that, mate.

- Look, I'm sorry about before, aye.

- [Chase] Eh, don't worry about it.

- I'm gonna do all I can to get her back.

Might even change my ways.

I mean, I'm not going
to become like celestial

or anything like that.

- I think you mean celibate.

- Yeah, yeah.

(sighs)

I will need your help to keep on track.

(upbeat music)

- So, you really gonna make
me go through with this?

- Mm-hmm.

(upbeat music)

(laughing)

- Happy?
- Mm-hmm.

You really don't like my work?

- I think you're the most underrated actor

on the world stage today.
- Hmm.

- And deservedly so.

- This town, the players love you.

All I ever wanted was for
you to be proud of me.

- Same.

Here I am,

devoid of my earthly robes,

reminded that life is short
and I have nothing to lose.

Why? 'Cause,

I'm naked already.

- Hmm, touching words.

- Yeah, it's from that flick
of yours, the Puerto Rican.

- You saw "Down Out Puerto Rico"?

(laughing)

- Yeah, it was a good flick.

- I never knew

you saw any of my films.
- Aw,

just all of them.

- Well, so ready to go for a run?

- I'm gonna walk it.

- Walk?
- Mm-hmm.

- What? Hold on.

(upbeat music)

You really don't like league?

- Well, let's just be
grateful we both go for a code

that's better than union.

- [Chase] Well, there you have it.

Sam ended up quitting Hollywood
and worked out his dream job

was being coach Munsey's assistant.

- Don't let him go.

You hear me?

Good.

- [Chase] Beefa was never
quite the same though.

- I'm your daddy.

- [Chase] Rhys took the
money he was saving for a car

and bought Sophie an engagement ring.

- Are you serious?!

(screams)

- And I visited Brooke again.

She was great.

She took the time to hear me out

and we got closure about the whole thing.

And Richo came good on that NRL contract,

guess I got the dream after all.

- You're a bit dressed up
to be doing the washing.

- I'm going to see the Rev.

- Just the Rev?

- [Chase] Oh, and one other thing I-

- Easy mate.

- [Chase] I kind of fell
for the Rev's daughter.

Yep, the girl who helped me get on track

became the girl of my dreams.

- Comets, yeah.

- [Chase] She did take
some convincing though,

but in the end, Dee and I got hitched.

- [Kev] You know, they reckon the sound

from the honeymoon sweet

was the closest Wagga
ever got to an earthquake.

- Why would anyone even
honeymoon in Wagga?

- I don't know man, it's just a joke.

Laugh, you never laugh!

All right, you're in my shot.

Let's shoot this thing.

- Mcosker! Mcosker!

- Now Jason, just one last question,

reading the papers during the summer

I was quite alarmed to actually read that

the headline said, "Jason
Stevens Gives Up Sex."

Is that, what's doing?

- Yeah, that's true.

(laughing)

- [Reporter] Is it hard?

I mean...

- Yeah, it does get hard at times.
