Daffodils (2019) - full transcript

A bittersweet love story told with beautiful re-imaginings of iconic New Zealand songs.

Check. Check. One, two.

How well do you

know your parents?

Before tonight,

I thought I knew mine.

But... I was wrong.

This is my dad.

You'd better go.

Holding my hand,

he told me stories he'd never told anyone.

It's easy to forget your parents

were once young, crazy things.

And I wonder if Mum realized...

how little she knew him.

Maisie...

Come on.

Get out of here.

My name is Maisie.

And this my parents' story.

She was just on the side

of the road there.

I think her friends

must've ditched her.

You've woken the whole

bloody house up, mate.

I think she's just had

a bit much to drink. Stand up!

Yeah That's obvious, isn't it?

Thanks for looking after her.

Oh, of course he is.

Don't act too keen.

They won't say much.

But... They can tell

if you're nervous.

I'm not nervous. Mmm.

I've prepared something,

a speech

that I've been planning.

Some of you might remember

that we weren't always

in the cleaning business.

My grandparents,

they were in flowers,

before that.

Feed him to the sheep.

Oh, he's not so bad.

Well, they had a little shack

down by the lake.

Sold all kinds of flowers.

And in that last section

down there

where all the daffodils grow,

well, there

I saw, walking with her sister,

this most beautiful creature.

Isabel.

Eric's mum.

Aww.

Well.

Me being me, of course,

I had to go over and say

Gidday, didn't it?

And then nine months

later, boom.

There he is, the little fella.

Well, then this cheeky bugger

comes home one day.

And he says, "Dad, I've meet

this bird down by the daffodils."

I went, "What, son?"

Does he always

talk to you like that?

Because you don't

have to work for him.

Not if he talks

to you like that.

Probably why you're feeling so

Go and have a play.

Okay.

I just want to thank

everyone for coming to the house,

and for saying goodbye to Dad.

Right, you put those

on the table, dear.

All right.

Barry always did the speeches.

So...

I don't know what to say really.

At this point,

Barry would have trod on up...

told me to sit my arse back

down, and shut up.

So for Barry,

I'm going to sit my arse back down

and shut up. Thanks.

No.

Oh yeah. If anyone is looking

for a work van...

vacuums and stuff like that,

Mum is selling the lot.

So... come and see me.

Hey.

Hey, Eric.

I told you to stay away.

Oh, Isabel. Thank you so much.

It was a lovely send off...

Okay, then. Bye.

Fuck.

What are you doing here?

Eh?

We don't need to go...

I just came

to give you something.

Shhh. Shhh.

I had to come...

No, no. You didn't.

They're all happy

not knowing shit.

Why would you fuck it up?

He left it.

I thought you might like it.

Mum, come on.

Hey.

Hello, dear.

You all right?

Oh my goodness,

have you finished your cake?

Where's my little birthday girl?

Oh, there you are.

Hey, bubba. Happy Birthday.

Are you excited about going

to the beach tomorrow?

Eh? And what about Mum?

Did you get lots

of presents? Yeah?

Where's my other big girl. Hey.

We don't really talk much,

do we? Not very good at it.

Bred us that way, our mothers...

Least said, fastest mended...

I always remember that

from when I was a kid.

Barry had a couple

of other kids.

Eric ever tell you that?

No. No.

Didn't tell me either.

Eric likes to think

that I don't know,

because if I did...

You know, how could I?

How could I let Barry?

We don't have a choice, Rose.

As long as he comes home...

That's all that matters.

Three, four, five, six.

Who's gonna give Mum

the daffodils?

Me and Maisie.

You can give her one too.

Thank you. I'll carry one.

After lunch we can go

for a swim, all right?

Okay.

Oh, look at these.

Oh. Thanks sweetie.

Hey. You can sit outside.

I can bring you

your sandwiches out there.

Come on, Maisie.

Ooh. Won't be long.

Rose...

Hey...

Don't touch me. Hey...

Do you give her daffodils?

The woman that you came

home smelling of the...

The night that Barry died.

Do you give her daffodils?
