What ran over you?
- Billy, you old bastard.
- Too long.
- Eva.
- Frank.
- Dan.
- How are ya?
Come on.
Let's get this party started.
Quick. They're here.
Hi!
Shit. You look beautiful,
Mum.
- Hello.
- Hello.
- Hi.
- Hello!
- Welcome! Leo!
- Alright?
Hello. Hi, Bridget.
Oh, thanks.
Thanks, mate.
Bridget! Leave your bags
and come in.
Let's go out on the terrace.
- Billy!
- All good?
- Billy. Yes, very good.
- You look really well.
Oh, I don't know if I like
the sound of that.
Oh, my favourite goddaughter.
I'm your only goddaughter.
- How's your love life?
- Oh. No, no love life.
What's wrong with boys
these days?
I don't know.
Have you met my brother?
- Get off your phone.
- Off your phone.
- Dan, off the phone.
- Off the phone.
You can see the world
from here.
Wow.
It's just so beautiful.
Wow. This place is amazing.
Frank! Come on!
Holly's bringing someone.
Are you alright?
Bloody speedboat's stuffed
so no fun on the doughnut.
Refills?
Pop!
- Oh, yes.
- I will.
It's so beautiful.
I'd forgotten.
Don't tell me
that's what I think it is.
And what do you think it is?
I think it's one of
your projects
which always seems like
a good idea and never is.
The tree house
is still standing, isn't it?
- You want to tell us?
- We're building a pizza oven.
Oh, God, no.
Don't tell me I've come all
the way from New Zealand
to build you a pizza oven.
Us. To build us a pizza oven.
All of us.
It's going to be bonding.
No! No!
Good luck with that.
What was that?
Why don't you just go
and hand out the oysters
instead of sitting
on your arse?
OK.
Oh, hi, Holly.
Come on through.
- Thanks, Uncle Frankie.
- Don't you bloody 'uncle' me.
What's that, Uncle Frankie?
Holly!
- Hello.
- Holly.
Hello!
Nice of you to test drive a new
root at my birthday party.
You are just jealous.
- Everyone, this is Doug.
- Welcome, Doug. Frank.
- G'day, Frank.
- Drink?
She'll be right. I've got
a beer in my esky, mate.
Now a bloke's happy.
- Cheers.
- Cheers.
Lunch is ready.
Lunch.
¶ Wild thing
¶ You make my heart sing
¶ You make everything ¶
¶ Wild thing
I think I love you
Ho, ho, ho, ho.
¶ But I want to know
for sure
¶ Come on and hold me tight
¶ Come on
and hold me tight... ¶
I love you!
- Good one, Mummy.
- You smashed it, Mum.
Leo.
Um, I just want to say
thanks for coming all this way
to celebrate my birthday.
It means a lot to me.
We may not have been
the brightest
or the best band in the world
but we certainly had a lot of
fun out there on the road.
And you did make
Rolling Stone's
Most Promising of 1977,
as you've never stopped
telling us.
And we did have a little hit
there, for a moment.
¶ Fearless
¶ Fea-ea-ea-ear-less ¶
And even when the gigs dried up
and we lost our creative drive
and our bookings,
and our voice,
Holly's beautiful mum Roxy...
Yeah, Mum!
..We found something else.
I never found anything.
Friendship.
I know we don't get to see
each other
as much as we would
like to, um...
..but when we do, I've got to
say it's sort of wonderful.
- To friendship.
- Friendship.
- To friendship.
- To friendship.
- Friendship.
- And families.
- Prehistoric friendship.
- Jurassic friendship.
- Friendship.
- Alright, pass your plates.
¶ Those days
were so sweet
¶ The best days of my life
¶ Yeah
¶ I wanna know, babe
I wanna know, babe... ¶
- No, no, it's OK. All good.
- Thank you...
Ella.
Dr Ella. She's the brains
of the family.
- Dad.
- What?
- It's embarrassing.
- It's the truth.
- More coffee, Mum?
- Thanks.
- How many sheep do you run?
- Just over 15,000.
I'm only running at
half capacity at the moment.
Dan.
So what happened
with art school?
Can't draw.
And the Communication thing?
Can't write.
Not good enough, anyway.
So what are you good at?
Skating.
- Well, that's a start.
- Yeah.
I'm supposed to rev you up
about the joys
of journalistic life.
Don't bother.
Yeah.
Couple of us actually have
an idea for an app.
Oh. What's that?
It's like a skater hub, kind of
thing. It's early days though.
Wow. On trend, dude.
- You follow your dreams.
- Yeah.
Dad wants me to follow
his dreams.
Go and become the great
creative he failed to become.
Listen, at your age
it is your responsibility
to ignore your father.
In fact, it's pretty much
your only responsibility.
I'm here for you, dude.
Thanks, Leo. Cheers.
Ah, wouldn't it be much better
over there?
That's what I was thinking.
It's a much better place
for it.
Well, it's the more obvious
spot, ready-made for shade.
It's going over here.
Well, if you want to make
a big mistake, go right ahead.
You know what, it's his oven.
If he wants to put it there,
we won't give him a hard time.
Jesus, can't you just hire
someone, Frank?
We can, but it's more fun
if we do it.
Look, this is gonna be a place
to gather in a storm,
to remember the community
of those you love.
Let's go surfin'.
¶ You make me
feel so young
¶ You make me feel
so spring has sprung ¶
We should be
at the golf course.
That's where
the grown-ups are.
Golf? I'm not 103, mate.
Bloody close to it.
Not until tomorrow.
Yeah!
¶ I wanna go play hide-and-seek
¶ I wanna go and bounce
the moon
¶ Just like a toy balloon
¶ You and I
are just like a couple of tots
¶ Running across a meadow
¶ Picking up lots of
forget-me-nots
¶ You make me feel
so young... ¶
Hey, look at this.
- Hey!
- Hey!
Hey, he's still got it.
- Look at that.
- Pretty good.
Flat as a tack.
I look pretty bloody good
these days, you know,
- for a young bloke.
- Yeah, not bad.
Look at that.
Dunno what you're doing.
¶ When you say
that you just can't hang on ¶
¶ When you're letting go
and want to run ¶
¶ Don't back up all those
bumpy roads we nearly chose
¶ It's easy
¶ It's easy
¶ 'Cause you're fearless
You're fearless
¶ You're fea-ea-ea-ear-less
You're fea-ea-ea-ear-less ¶
Do you blokes mind?
¶ Fea-ear-less... ¶
Can you take amateur hour
somewhere else please?
Sorry.
Yeah, well, you're scaring
the children.
- Sorry.
- Yeah, sorry.
- Who are they, Nana?
- Some has-beens.
Bloody hell. Doesn't take much
to scare kids these days.
I'm with her.
You were bloody terrifying.
That's Uncle Billy
and Eva.
That must've been
when they first met.
Leo.
Dad's guns.
You and your mum again.
Oh, my God. Look at that.
Remember that was
after Mum died
and I'd just moved in
with you guys.
Ouch!
Will you stop it
with the mosquitos!
- What's the matter with you?
- Drives me crazy.
Didn't you get enough attention
as babies or something?
With Frank, it's sneezing.
When he sneezes
it's like a bomb going off.
I just want to kill him.
What about, 'Bless you.
Sorry about your allergies'?
You do it on purpose.
- Leo...
- Don't you dare.
Leo's perfect.
My thoughts exactly.
Thank you, darling.
See what you've got
to look forward to, Doug?
And her mother was
a pain in the arse.
Well, I know that.
She wouldn't put up
with your music taste.
You know that Dougie's into
a bit of Willie Nelson
and the Carpenters?
Turn it up.
You love the Carpenters.
Mama was blues,
through and through.
Yeah, different times.
She'd like to be making
your sort of money.
Mm, and I'd like to be singing
in a band instead of,
¶ We're happy
little Vegemites
¶ As bright as bright
can be... ¶
Hey! Nothing wrong
with advertising.
Some of us keep off
the breadline with it.
Actually, Billy just won
an advertising prize.
Yep.
- Best Jingle of the Year.
- Ah, it was bullshit.
- Why are you denying it?
- Let's hear it.
Nah, nah, nah.
Why do mozzies only love me?
Someone has to.
Shame about that chimney,
Frank.
¶ PRETTY PAPA BLUES
- Can I just have a go?
- No.
He's very serious
when he's gaming.
This is a very intense moment.
See if you can teach him
some manners, Caitlyn.
It was a very important moment.
Yes!
I'm coming in.
You are just as handsome
as ever.
How are you?
I'm good now. Much better.
Looking forward
to getting back to work.
We missed you.
You know...
..I had a bit of a scare too.
What?
Yeah, it was bloody melanoma
but it's fine.
- No!
- I'm clear.
Leo, why didn't you tell us?
Well, it's a bastard
but we're survivors, you and I.
But it changes you, doesn't it?
Mm.
I call it uninvited clarity.
That's right.
I don't feel the same
about so many things now.
No.
Some things you think
are important
that just don't matter at all
and other things...
much more so.
Yeah.
What?
Our agreement.
I've rethought, Lottie.
What?
- Is that why you came?
- No, no, no, wait.
- Just hear me out.
- You can't rethink, Leo.
No, you're right,
it's not rethinking,
it's-it's what's unresolved.
It's not unresolved.
We resolved it 20 years ago.
- You might have.
- We all did.
It's not the way I see it.
Does Bridget know
what you want?
No.
She'd be appalled.
We had an agreement.
We made a pact, Leo.
And for good reasons.
They're still good reasons.
Yes, they are.
But they're not good enough.
- Give it to me!
- I want a go!
- Come here!
- Give it! Give it!
- Take it off me.
- Give me the...
- Take it!
- Give me the phone!
Give me the phone. Thank you.
I'm going to talk to Frank.
No, you will not.
I'll talk to Frank.
You coming, Dad?
Yep. In a minute.
Hey, we've found it,
we've found it.
Come and check out
Billy's prizewinning baby.
- What are you doing?
- Don't be so modest, Billy.
- Eva...
- Come on, come on!
Let's see!
- You found it!
- Come on.
- Well done.
- Come on. Gather round.
- Great!
- Alright.
¶ When you say that you just
can't hang on ¶
Stop it.
¶ When you're letting go ¶
Shush!
What is it?
Oh, my God!
¶ Fearless ¶
Hey!
Ella, shut up!
¶ Fearless
¶ Fea-ea-ea-ear-less. ¶
- Oh, wow.
- Is this a joke, Billy?
- Listen, Frank...
- Jesus, Billy.
- That's our song, you prick.
- How could you do that?
What's happened?
Billy turned Fearless
into a diapers ad.
Diapers? What the fuck?!
That was Mum's song.
We sang that at her funeral,
for God's sake.
Can everyone just calm down?
It's just a song.
Exactly. The Rolling Stones
used Start Me Up
to sell Microsoft Windows.
I'll bet Keith never sold it
behind Mick's back.
The Pacific Sideburns go down
as the voice of incontinence!
- What, ADULT diapers?
- Nobody's going to see it.
- Where's it playing?
- Nowhere important.
- Where's it playing, Billy?
- Europe.
Europe?!
I wanted to ask you. I was
trying to find the right time.
You know there's no
bloody right time!
If Mum was here she would
punch you, you fucker.
There... There was a deadline.
And we...
I-I couldn't lose the gig.
I needed something good,
and fast.
So you stole our only hit?
What is the matter with you?
Bloody hell, Bill!
- I wrote it.
- Not on your own, ya wanker!
What do you care, Dad?
You were just the manager.
Hear, hear.
Fuck!
Good one, Eva.
Adult diapers!
I'm gonna vomit!
¶ It's a man's world
¶ This is a man's world
¶ It would be nothing
¶ No...
¶ Without a woman
or a girl... ¶
I feel like such an idiot.
I was just happy
he'd won something.
I mean, obviously,
if I'd known, I...
No-one is blaming you, Eva.
Billy is just being a dick.
You're not his keeper, Eva.
It's just the male ego,
it's this desperate need
to succeed
and it corrupts their judgment.
I don't know if it's that,
exactly.
It's about what they've always
dreamed of for themselves
and...
..what they've turned out
to be.
Well, isn't that true
for all of us?
Yes, but we've learnt to keep
our expectations in check.
Oh, well, stuff that!
Oh, I loved Billy's ego.
There was something really sexy
about his genuine
self-confidence.
But when they lose it,
boy, don't they know it.
Why did Frankie sell
the business?
Like, he lived
for Swagger Gear.
I-I begged him not to sell it.
I mean, I was coping fine.
It's...
..just.... you know Frank.
There's no telling him.
Silly bastard.
And I haven't been too much fun
myself.
I think you've got
a good reason
not to have been
a laugh a minute.
Oh, it's those
anti-oestrogen drugs.
They make you miserable
and snappy.
And then you dry up
like an old prune.
Well, crack open
the coconut oil.
What?
It's for more
than just cooking.
- Get out!
- Yeah.
It does wonders for
the velcro vagina.
It's true.
I'll show you, if you like.
Stop it!
Anyway, I'm not on them anymore
and I can already feel
my whole body waking up.
Whoo!
- Yeah.
- Look out, Frank!
Ohhh!
Don't even look at that.
Why didn't you tell me?
Fearless is 40 years old,
for Christ's sake.
Oh, well, sleep well then.
Alright, then.
I was ashamed.
Look at us.
Failed jingle writer
and an ageing actress.
A what?
You're beautiful.
You'll always be beautiful.
But, come on,
the world we live in.
It's over for us.
Oh, fuck off.
No, go on. Fuck off.
Where?
Oh, I don't care. Just get out.
Get out until you grow up.
God!
And turn the light out.
And shut the door.
I don't believe it!
Oh, my God. Why are you
so good to me?
'Cause you deserve it.
I don't.
And because since the second
we met
I've spent every waking moment
working out
how I could win you.
Do you have any idea
how much energy that takes?
I'm sorry.
I just had to be sure.
So, are you?
What?
As sure as I am.
Have you got
any of that energy left?
Mm, maybe.
Battle Of The Orcs.
You awake?
Mm-hm.
What?
I was talking to Leo.
- Yeah.
- And...
- ..well, he says that...
- Yeah?
- ..That he...
- What?
..He...
..had a cancer scare. Melanoma.
Christ.
Is he alright?
Yeah.
Why is Billy such an
ungrateful bastard?
He's resentful. He's broke.
I flew them out here
business class, didn't I?
It was hard for him
to accept it.
Not so hard
he declined the offer.
Sometimes...
..you just need to
let things go, Frank.
And appreciate
what's in front of you.
You used to be so good
at seizing the moment.
I used to be good at
a lot of things.
What's up?
Charlotte told me.
Oh, geez, Frank.
I'm sorry. I really should have
told you first.
You don't have to be sorry.
I understand.
You do?
That's really good of you.
To be honest, I didn't know
how you'd react.
How I'd react?
Come here, you big dope.
I love you, mate.
I'm just glad you're alright.
Oh, Frank, I really...
I really appreciate that.
You ARE alright? Hm?
I mean, everything's good now?
Y-yeah, I'm fine.
It's fine.
- That for me?
- Yeah.
- You having one?
- Right. Yep.
It's your handsome prince,
rousing you from your slumber.
Please don't kiss me.
Anything you want to tell me?
I'm... an idiot.
And?
I'm...
..sorry?
Argh! Get off me!
You have put on so much weight,
you fat bastard.
OK, girls, let's walk the dog.
And breathing, step or jump in
the feet towards the hands
and roll up through the body
into Anjali Mudra.
Lift the face and the hands
and salute the sun.
And fold down the body
into the plank.
Inhale and exhale,
heart over the hands,
into Chaturanga.
Breathing into upward dog
and exhale into downward dog.
Centre yourself.
Oh, God!
Tell yourself, 'I am enough.'
- I'm enough.
- I am enough.
I've had enough!
Engage with your deepest
and most private place.
Pepper!
Don't blame Pepper,
that was you!
Oh, my God, that was
really classy, Bridget.
What, don't movie stars fart?
No, never. Oh!
It's not fair. That body at 60.
It's not easy.
I had to work at it.
Well, however you did it,
you're every bloke's fantasy.
Oh. Well, maybe once.
You know I've been...
I've been approached
to play a grandmother.
- Oh, no.
- Oh, what?
And I have to fight for it.
- Rubbish.
- What's wrong with that?
I think it's really cool to go
from sex kitten to granny.
She's too young to play
a grandmother. Come on!
60's the new 40,
you know.
Yeah, sure, from behind
and in the dark, Mum.
Dream on, grannies, I'm done.
I need
a headache tablet.
No!
No, don't you dare!
You horrible child!
¶ Strolling
in the park
¶ Watching winter
turn to spring
¶ Walking in the dark
¶ Seeing lovers do their thing
¶ Ooh-ooh-ooh
That's the time
¶ I feel like making love
to you
¶ That's the time
¶ I feel like
making dreams... ¶
So you sold Swagger
for a king's ransom
but you couldn't stretch
to an espresso machine, Frank.
Gotta have something to leave
the house for, Billy.
Shame about that chimney.
Just a tiny blip on paradise.
How's the Mustang, Billy?
Still going?
- Sold it.
- You sold it?
You loved
that jalopy.
Well, you know, you move on.
Your pride and joy.
How could you?
Well, Frankie,
I wouldn't have bloody sold it
if I didn't have to.
OK.
Must be easy to forget what
normal life is like, Frank,
but some of us still flinch
when the bill comes.
You're a chippy bastard. I'll
buy your Mustang back for you.
No. That's not
what he wants.
Yes, it is.
Buy it for me, then.
Doesn't mean anything to you,
means the world to me.
- Alright, I will.
- Get stuffed.
Listen, you little shit,
I apologise for not making it
as an artist,
who we all know
are superior beings.
Who knew the world would want
my T-shirts, but they did.
I got a shitload of money for
it and I'm not apologising.
Exactly. No big deal.
We all know it's more
about luck than talent.
Oh, shut up, Billy.
Frank worked bloody hard
to find and support artists.
Don't be such a jerk.
Lots of people work hard.
They don't end up with a house
in Palm Beach.
Come on, Billy.
Let's run off this lunch.
- No, thanks.
- I'll pay you for it.
'Cause after all,
I'm just rolling in it.
- You coming, Leo?
- Come on, Uncle Billy.
No, I'll help with
the washing up.
Oh, no help required.
Did he say he would help
with the washing up?
I've got a few errands to run
in Avalon anyway.
- I'll give you a hand.
- No!
- No, I'm fine.
- I insist.
I think you need a nap.
Do you? Well...
Good boy.
That's it.
In you hop.
¶ LET
THE GOOD TIMES ROLL
¶ Hey, everybody
¶ Let's have some fun
¶ You only live but once and
when you're dead you're done
¶ So let the good times roll
¶ Let the good times roll
¶ Don't care
if you're young or old
¶ Get together
Let the good times roll ¶
If it's too hot,
don't push yourself.
Oh, get stuffed.
¶ Yeah, no matter whether
it's rainy weather
¶ Birds of a feather
gotta stick together
¶ So get yourself under control
¶ Go out and get together
and let the good times roll. ¶
I want Dan to do a DNA test.
Fuck you, Leo.
He deserves the truth.
Besides, Frank's had him
for 20 years. It's my turn.
You've got a daughter.
- Stepdaughter.
- Pepper, stay.
Come on, don't be ridiculous.
That's like me saying to you,
'You have Ella
and that's enough.'
Ella's your flesh and blood.
Well, so what?
You're Caitlyn's dad
in every way that's important.
Here.
Let me, let me.
Look, Leo. Leo. Leo.
Don't you remember?
On the stairs, back in Newtown,
you, me and Frank
when I told you that there was
just an infinitesimal chance
and we all agreed
that it wasn't worth losing
what we had.
And Frank, who, at that moment,
had every reason to hate you,
he said, 'If we don't know
'then it won't get in the way
of any of us loving him.'
And you agreed, Leo.
You did. We all agreed.
Don't you remember?
Yes, I remember
but this is 20 years later
and I'm not who I was.
Well, just be who you were!
Ooh!
- Hi, Charlotte.
- Lorna.
Leo - Lorna. Lorna - Leo.
Hi, Leo.
Um... Oh, are you a shrink too?
- No.
- Oh.
Well, I don't mind telling you
that this little lady saved
my life, no, saved my life
and it's not an exaggeration
because I don't think I...
- Lorna.
- Well, I...
Would you fuck off, please?
Better be going.
I think you'd better go too.
I think you'd better find
any excuse. Just go.
I can't. You know that.
Where are you going?
Home.
- What about the shopping?
- Oh, fuck the shopping.
Caitlyn just
adores Leo.
He's been a fantastic dad.
She was just six years old
when my first husband left.
It's gonna be far worse
when she loses Leo.
Well, he hasn't gone yet.
I know. I'm sorry.
This wine makes me whine.
Oh, you whine away, darling.
Whine away.
- You're so lucky.
- Why?
Well, Billy still loves you.
I don't know where you get
that idea.
I can tell.
The way he looks at you.
Oh, he's just too vain
to wear his glasses.
All he sees is a blur!
What happened to you?
I'm not a pathological
show-off,
like some people
I know.
I'm definitely not 40 anymore.
None of us are
who we used to be.
I used to be a musician.
You used to be
an unemployed musician.
Now, I'm hired to flog nappies.
Ah, you're an artist, Billy.
I used to be always jealous of
you blokes - talented bastards.
All hail the conquering heroes.
At least you have other things.
I've never wanted kids.
Now I look at yours.
You have bloody great kids,
Frank.
Sometimes I think the only kids
that do any good in life
are the ones that have to
overcome obstacles.
My kids don't have
any obstacles to overcome.
Frank, you're 80 kilos
of obstacle.
85.
You know I can't even get it up
anymore?
Really? Not at all?
They say it's not uncommon
for blokes our age.
Not me, mate. Right as rain.
Like a steel rod.
You're a bastard.
Help!
Help! We can't get down!
Dougie to the rescue!
- Stuck! The ladder...
- My God, where's the ladder?
- Could you please...
- Whoa, whoa, hang on.
- You right?
- No, we're not alright.
- What does it look like?
- Watch your foot.
Girls, for health and safety
reasons
I'll have to give you
a random breath test.
You two. Trouble, huh?
- Come here.
- Stop, I'm gonna pee.
- No, no, no, no, don't.
- No! Come back!
You ready?
Push yourself up, there you go.
Yay! Dougie to the rescue!
Oh, my God!
So, do you think he's the one?
I really like him.
So do we.
I can't see you
on a sheep farm, Holly.
Oh, I can.
- Oh, that's serious.
- Mm.
Done.
It's not lined up properly.
Looks pretty good to me.
That brick
is not in the middle.
- Yeah, it bloody is.
- It's good enough.
- It's good enough?
- Yeah, it's good enough.
We don't need this
micromanaging, Frank.
It's not
the Opera House.
If you're gonna do something,
you do it well.
Dan does not need encouragement
to get sloppy.
Frank, enough of the criticism,
OK?
Get stuffed, Leo.
Hey, wasn't this
supposed to be bonding?
It's hard to bond
with the Gestapo here.
What's that
supposed to mean?
I don't know
what's pissing you off
but don't take it out
on us.
When do I get
my yoga ball back?
Tea's up, anyway.
Hey, come on.
Thanks, love.
- Hello, ladies!
- Bombs away!
No!
Wow! Look at that!
Even though I say so myself,
you've done well, Frank.
Real shame about that chimney.
Be bloody perfect otherwise.
- Ta-da!
- Oh, the famous scones.
- Beautiful.
- Delicious.
Charlotte, thank you.
Got ya!
What the hell's that?
Is that Dad?
- Bloody hell.
- What the hell's he doing?
¶ BORN TO BE WILD
¶ Get your motor running
¶ Head out on the highway ¶
What's going on?
Come on, Dad! Frank's gone mad.
¶ And whatever comes our way
¶ Yeah, darlin'
go make it happen
¶ Take the world
in a love embrace
¶ Fire all of your guns
at once
¶ And explode into space
¶ Born to be wild... ¶
Frank! FRANK!
What are you doing,
Frank?
- Dad?
- Frank!
Come on down, Frank.
Frank, get down
before you kill yourself.
He's gone mad!
Frank, get down here!
Don't let anyone
come near me!
Stop being an idiot.
Frank, I'm coming up
to get you.
Billy, help them.
It's your fault!
- Why's it my fault?
- It's always your fault!
- Leo, hold the ladder.
- You can fuck off!
You're all fuckwits. I don't
know why I invited you all.
I hate you all.
- No, you don't.
- Yes, I do.
And I hate you
more than anyone.
No, you hate me more!
- No, I hate him more.
- He hates me more.
Why'd you come?
It's your bloody birthday
and we're here to celebrate
- the rational...
- Mature.
..Mature, wise old bloke
you've become. Come on!
For God's sake, Frank.
What will we say to the owners?
We are the owners!
What?
I bought it yesterday.
- Oh.
- Did you know about this?
Oh, God!
Get away, I'm coming down.
- Go on, get away!
- Rightio.
She didn't know about this.
Frank.
There. Happy now?
Frank!
Frank!
- You bought a house?
- So what if I did?
Without talking to me!
You just think you can fix
everything with a chequebook.
It bloody helps.
You're a lunatic.
It's my money!
If I want to knock down
a chimney, I will.
'My money'?
You know I mean our money.
Of course it's our money.
I didn't buy the house.
You didn't buy it?
I enquired... about it.
Why did you tell everybody
you did?
I don't know.
I'll cancel the dinner tonight.
No.
No, I'll be fine.
I know
it means playing a grandmother
but it can't hurt playing
Nicole's mum, right,
and the director's last film
made a bomb for his studio.
Great. Let's give it a go.
- OK, well, we'll talk.
- OK, thanks, Harry.
She's 50, for Christ's sake.
You can't play her mother.
Well, apparently I can.
It's your career.
¶ I've been loving you
¶ Too long
¶ To stop now ¶
Let's see.
- You look so hot.
- Let's go.
- Give me a kiss.
- Five minutes.
Alright, everybody, let's go.
- Ooh.
- Dan's waiting in the boat.
Let's go. Where's Frank?
I'll go find him. Take that.
Want to take this?
Dad?
Dad!
Dad?
Come on.
You look lovely.
Thanks.
You OK?
Never been better.
Just give me a sec.
Mum's in the car.
¶ ..Has been so wonderful
¶ I can't stop now ¶
¶ You were tired ¶
Ahoy!
¶ And your love is growing cold
¶ My love is growing stronger
¶ As our affair,
affair grows old ¶
Welcome aboard, sir.
¶ I've been loving you
¶ All too long ¶
You alright, Mum?
¶ To stop now
¶ Oh, oh, oh
¶ I've been loving you
¶ A little too long
¶ I don't want to stop now
¶ Oh, oh
¶ Don't make me stop now... ¶
That's a shame, babe.
I was liking the sound of that.
Dougie and I are actually
quite compatible.
We are at it three times a day.
What's unusual
about that?
I can't think of anything
worse.
Oh, speech.
Attention, please.
Yes, I just want to say
a few words to Dad.
Oh, Dad.
You are an obstinate,
blinkered,
anal, obstreperous,
control freak.
Hear, hear.
That's nice.
Must be my birthday.
Let's not forget
your shining moments.
Let's see. When you forgot
my dance performance,
when you forgot
my debating final.
When you forgot my inter-school
Tournament of the Minds
Competition,
which led to
the State championships,
which you missed.
And then there was the time
you told my school principal
that she was full of shit.
Well, she was.
Or when you yelled at me after
I missed that goal in the semi
and then you got kicked out
of the grounds.
If you'd listened to me
you would've got that goal.
I guess that sometimes
kids don't realise
that their parents -
well, you're people too,
with hurts and struggles.
And I just wanted to say
that I wouldn't have got
through med school
without your support
and encouragement
and you're
a really great father.
- To Frank.
- To Frank. Happy birthday.
- We love you.
- To Dad.
We love you.
Oh, that's nice.
- Speech!
- Speech!
Come on, Frank.
Thank you, darling,
that was, um...
That was beautiful.
I'm a, ah, lucky fella.
Ahhh...
Excuse me, won't you?
Dad.
- Don't be sad. I love you.
- And I love you too.
- Will you open your presents?
- All good, Dad?
- What you got there?
- Oh, look at that!
- Funny.
- What is it?
Let me take the ribbon.
I need a ribbon.
Daniel.
- What is that?
- What do you reckon?
- It's a monkey.
- And he plays the drums.
Where did you find that?
Oh, that is ridiculous!
Is it... It's a really old one.
Where did you find that?
How do you play it?
¶ Happy birthday to you
¶ Happy birthday
to you
¶ Happy birthday, dear Frank
¶ Happy birthday to you. ¶
- Hip, hip!
- Hooray!
- Hip, hip!
- Hooray!
- Hip, hip!
- Hooray!
- Look at this!
- Look at that.
- Isn't that good?
- Isn't that wonderful?
Where's Dan?
Oh, I think they went down
to the pontoon.
Oh!
What is that?
Who did that?
Very good, thanks!
Excuse me. I can't see.
There we go.
¶ CATCH THE WIND
¶ In the chilly hours
and minutes of uncertainty
¶ I want to be in the warm hold
of your loving mind
- ¶ To feel you all around me ¶
- Thank you.
¶ And to take your hand
along the sand
¶ Ah, but I may as well
try and catch the wind
¶ When sundown
pales the sky... ¶
¶ I want to hide
a while
¶ Behind your smile
¶ And everywhere I look
your eyes I'd find
¶ For me to love you now
would be the sweetest thing
¶ Would make me sing
¶ Ah, but I may as well
try and catch the wind. ¶
Shit! I hope our kids
have your singing voice.
Oops, that just... That popped
out of nowhere, didn't it?
Wow.
I guess I'm asking you
to marry me, Holl.
You know,
there's nothing I want more
than to call you 'missus'
and live happily ever after.
I know that you do, Dougie.
I'm sorry. I'm not
the right person for you.
- I've got the keys.
- What did you get from Leo?
What did you give me, Leo?
What did he give me?
He gave you the cognac,
didn't he?
Did he?
It looks like it's between me
and one other actress.
Whoo-hoo!
With a bit of luck,
you might get to play a granny.
..Or you want to be a dog
for the rest of your life?
Hey.
Hey.
Thanks, Leo, for... for
not saying anything.
I haven't changed my mind.
Frank must wonder himself.
- He hasn't wondered.
- Oh, that's bullshit.
He has a problem with Dan
and I'm pretty sure I know why.
Lottie...
..nothing will change
unless you force him
to acknowledge it,
just like he was forced
to acknowledge
what a crap husband he was
all those years he was married
to his bloody business.
Oh, shush. It got better.
It got better because one night
you and I fell into bed.
And Frank realised
he had to lift his game,
otherwise he'd lose you.
It was much more than just a...
It was much more
than just a fling, Lottie.
I was in love with you
and you were...
Ella!
Ella, wait!
Ella, wait!
I need to talk to you.
- Ella, Ella! Listen to me.
- Mum, I don't want to hear it.
Ella, it was 20 years ago!
But you were married to Dad.
We were going
through something.
You don't do that
to someone you love.
- No wonder he's depressed.
- He's not depressed.
He's just dealing
with a lot of stuff.
How often do you prescribe
antidepressants
to happy people?
- I haven't prescribed them.
- Well, someone has.
What's going on? Eh?
What's going on?
Leo wants to know.
- What?
- Dan.
I want to know, Frank.
You serious?
Yes, I am. I'm serious.
Have you thought about
what this is gonna do to Dan?
Dan might be happy to know
you're not his father.
Did you think of that?
Frank! Frank, stop it!
- Stop!
- You bastard.
Stop!
Stop it!
No, no, no, no, no!
Why don't you just
talk about it?
You treat him like shit!
How the hell would you
bloody know?
Everyone knows.
Stop it!
He's my son, Frank,
and you know it.
Fuck you, Frank.
Fuck you, Leo.
Shut up!
Don't get blood on the linen.
Do you remember
when we first met?
What?
Do you remember
when we first met?
Of course I do.
It was at the Indiana Teahouse
in Cottesloe.
Nice try.
It was on a plane
from Karratha.
You were covering
a mining story
and I was a... a single
mum
struggling with a very cranky
six-year-old
and I'd just lost
my teaching job
and I was transferring...
..back to... back to Perth.
So?
Sometimes I, ah...
..I think you fell in love with
the idea of giving me a...
..a fairytale ending.
I was in love with you,
Bridget.
Are you sure you didn't
just want to save me?
It's very different, you know.
For God's sake, Bridget,
what are you talking about?
You already have a daughter...
..and a wife...
..who love you and want you.
Jesus, Leo.
What difference will knowing
make?
Do you want to talk about it?
About what?
Well, the pills you're taking,
for starters.
Talk to me, Frank.
I should never have sold
the business.
Ever since I've sold it
I've felt...
..dead.
Do you think he's mine?
I've always wondered.
Billy.
Billy.
What are you doing?
I'm leaving.
I've had enough.
One day I hope you wake up
and realise
that your life was
pretty bloody good.
Hey, hey, Eva, Eva, come on!
We've gone through
a lot of shit before this.
I'm not gonna say goodbye.
You tell them when I've left.
They'll understand.
- Open the window!
- No. No.
- Just give me 15 seconds.
- No, keep going.
- Please!
- Oh, my God. Keep going.
Stop, stop!
- Oh, my God!
- Eva, give me a chance.
Just give me a chance, please.
Eva, Eva, Eva...
..I don't know why but
I sabotage every good thing
and you're the best thing.
And you're right.
I'm selfish and ungrateful
and... and miserably jealous.
And all my shit is because
I've always believed
that I don't deserve you.
Please forgive me.
Please.
- Don't believe him.
- Shut up!
Thanks. I'll deal with this.
I'm not going to
get out of this car...
..until you promise me...
..that the next ten years
are going to be our best.
I promise you.
Cross my heart and hope to die.
You don't deserve me.
Billy.
It's alright now, it's alright.
Yeah, look,
congratulations and everything
but can I get
a cancellation fee?
- Yeah.
- Yeah, um...
Thanks.
20 bucks?
I come from Dee Why, mate.
- Oh, thanks, mate!
- No, it's alright.
- No, don't....
- Ohhh!
- Yeah, OK.
- Let him go.
¶ PAIN AND MISERY
¶ I've been in love, honey
You know it's true
¶ Whoa, since that day
I first laid my eyes on you
¶ Love is a crazy game, baby
¶ Is how I feel ¶
¶ It can make you, oh, so high
¶ But it takes so long to heal
¶ So please, yeah, yeah
¶ Won't you stay with me
¶ 'Cause since you gone
¶ Pain and misery
¶ Honey, please, yeah, yeah
¶ Won't you stay with me
¶ 'Cause since you gone
it's pain and misery
¶ Every day is pain
¶ In the end it's hard to see
¶ Every fateful day
is oh, so sad
¶ Now that I've lost the best
friend that I ever had... ¶
¶ Seems I've got
to have a change of scene
¶ 'Cause every night
I have the strangest dreams
¶ Imprisoned by the way
I could have been
¶ Left here on my own
or so it seems
¶ I got to leave
before I start to scream
¶ But someone locked the door
¶ And took the key
¶ You're feelin' alright?
¶ Ah-ha
¶ Not feelin' too good myself
¶ Ah-ha
¶ You're feelin' alright?
¶ Ah-ha
¶ I'm not feelin' too good
myself
¶ Ah-ha
¶ You're feelin' alright?
¶ Ah-ha
¶ I'm not feelin' too good
myself
¶ Ah-ha
¶ You're feelin' ... ¶
Whoo-hoo!
Hey, Cait, come on.
Let's go for a burn.
'Dad, can I go for a burn
'in the boat I buggered
last time I used it?'
Well?
Course you can, darling.
Do what you like.
You always do.
- You ready?
- Yep.
Away you go.
¶ You feelin' alright?
¶ Ah-ha
¶ I'm not feelin' too good
myself
¶ Ah-ha
- ¶ You feelin' alright? ¶
- Good?
- ¶ Ah-ha
- Yeah!
¶ I'm not feelin'
that good myself ¶
- Whooo!
- ¶ Ah-ha
¶ Boy, you sure took me
for one big ride
¶ Even now I sit
and I wonder why
¶ Mm, and when I think of you
¶ I sit down myself and cry
¶ I just can't waste my time
¶ I must keep dry
¶ Call me... ¶
Dan! Dan!
Dan!
Dan! Dan!
- Frank!
- Help!
Frank, quick!
No!
Dougie. Um, do you have to go
now?
Just go tomorrow or...
in the morning.
I don't want to get in the way,
Holl.
You're family, you know?
I'm not.
Take care.
What was that?
Nothing to worry about.
Why won't they tell us
anything?
If we lose him...
..I will never forgive myself.
Frank.
It was an accident.
My last words to him,
'Do what you like.
You always do.'
Why did I say that?
It's not the truth.
I don't deserve him.
- Caitlyn?
- She's fine.
I'm so sorry, Dad.
No, no, no, mate, it's alright.
I'm the one who's sorry.
You gave us such a fright,
darling.
I'm sorry, Mum.
- Dr Hall.
- Frank Lowther.
- This is Charlotte, Dan's...
- Hello.
Hello?
OK. Thanks, Dad.
He's got a broken shoulder
but he's gonna be OK.
Oh, darling. Oh.
There you are.
Oh.
Oh, sweetheart. Oh.
I love you.
Dad!
Are you alright?
Yes, I am.
It's going to be alright.
Forgive me, I...
I've been an idiot.
- Watch your head, darling.
- Yep.
There.
Thanks, Mum.
From now on, mate,
I'm out of your way.
But I'm here
whenever you need me.
I'm not going to sit
on my arse, Dad.
I know.
Shhh.
- Thanks, Billy.
- OK.
Oh, Ella, he's sleeping now.
He's going to be OK.
You're right, Leo.
- What?
- Leo's right.
Dan needs to know the truth.
We all do.
What do you mean?
It has to be finished.
We should've found out
20 years ago.
What's going on?
We'll do a DNA test,
put it all to rest.
Frank, listen,
that's not necessary.
Let sleeping dogs lie,
for heaven's sake.
Do it, Leo.
Guys,
you're all completely mad.
Come on.
Second-year genetics.
Why didn't you just ask me?
I've tested Dan's DNA, and
mine. We have the same.
99.99 % chance he's my brother.
If Leo's Dan's father,
he's mine too.
Mum?
Not a chance.
CLOSE TO YOU
¶ Why do birds
suddenly appear ¶
And we'll all leave
in the morning.
¶ Every time you are near
¶ Just like me
they long to be
¶ Close to you ¶
Here comes the cavalry.
Oh, you beauty!
¶ ..Fall down from the sky
¶ Every time you walk by
Holl. Holl, you hungry?
No, I'm fine, thanks.
I think you are.
¶ On the day that you were born
¶ The angels got together
¶ And decided to create a dream
come true
¶ So they sprinkled moon dust
in your hair of gold
¶ And starlight
in your eyes of blue... ¶
Achoo!
Achoo!
Achoo!
Achoo!
Bless you, darling. I'm so
sorry for your allergies.
Oh, you are
feeling better.
Ah, they're quite useful.
¶ SOUL KIND OF FEELING
¶ Ooh
¶ It's just a soul
kinda feeling
¶ A-movin' with the beat
¶ It's just a soul
kinda feeling
¶ A-soundin' kinda sweet
¶ You might be sittin' alone
in your room ¶
Hey, we've started.
- Well?
- No.
Oh, no.
Apparently they...
They thought I looked too young
to play Nicole's mother.
- What?
- Ohhh!
I'm calling those
brain-dead casting directors
and tell them you'd be perfect.
'Should see her first thing
in the morning,' I'll say.
Under the right lights,
she looks 102!
Pizza's up!
Oh, it smells fantastic!
Congratulations.
Absolutely wonderful.
¶ It might take you higher
¶ It might take you higher... ¶
- Look who I've got!
- Hey, Pepper!
Whoo-hoo!
Not until
you get off the phone.
Wait, wait. Let me just
fix the music. Hang on.
- Hey, none of that rap crap.
- Hang on, hang on.
This is for you, Dad.
Come on, beautiful.
Put that down.
We're on, here. We're on.
Come on.
¶ When you say that you just
can't hang on
¶ When you're letting go
and want to run

bumpy roads we nearly chose

Hello. Hi, Bridget.
Oh, thanks.
Thanks, mate.
Bridget! Leave your bags
and come in.
Let's go out on the terrace.
- Billy!
- All good?
- Billy. Yes, very good.
- You look really well.
Oh, I don't know if I like
the sound of that.
Oh, my favourite goddaughter.
I'm your only goddaughter.
- How's your love life?
- Oh. No, no love life.
What's wrong with boys
these days?
I don't know.
Have you met my brother?
- Get off your phone.
- Off your phone.
- Dan, off the phone.
- Off the phone.
You can see the world

Wow.
It's just so beautiful.
Wow. This place is amazing.
Frank! Come on!
Holly's bringing someone.
Are you alright?
Bloody speedboat's stuffed

Refills?

It's so beautiful.
I'd forgotten.
Don't tell me
that's what I think it is.
And what do you think it is?
I think it's one of
your projects
which always seems like
a good idea and never is.
The tree house
is still standing, isn't it?
- You want to tell us?
- We're building a pizza oven.
Oh, God, no.
Don't tell me I've come all
the way from New Zealand
to build you a pizza oven.
Us. To build us a pizza oven.
All of us.
It's going to be bonding.
No! No!
Good luck with that.
What was that?
Why don't you just go
and hand out the oysters
instead of sitting
on your arse?
OK.
Oh, hi, Holly.
Come on through.
- Thanks, Uncle Frankie.
- Don't you bloody 'uncle' me.
What's that, Uncle Frankie?
Holly!
- Hello.
- Holly.
Hello!
Nice of you to test drive a new
root at my birthday party.
You are just jealous.
- Everyone, this is Doug.
- Welcome, Doug. Frank.
- G'day, Frank.
- Drink?
She'll be right. I've got
a beer in my esky, mate.
Now a bloke's happy.
- Cheers.
- Cheers.
Lunch is ready.
Lunch.
¶ Wild thing
¶ You make my heart sing
¶ You make everything ¶
¶ Wild thing
I think I love you
Ho, ho, ho, ho.
¶ But I want to know
for sure
¶ Come on and hold me tight
¶ Come on
and hold me tight... ¶
I love you!
- Good one, Mummy.
- You smashed it, Mum.
Leo.
Um, I just want to say
thanks for coming all this way
to celebrate my birthday.
It means a lot to me.
We may not have been
the brightest
or the best band in the world
but we certainly had a lot of
fun out there on the road.
And you did make
Rolling Stone's
Most Promising of 1977,
as you've never stopped
telling us.
And we did have a little hit
there, for a moment.
¶ Fearless
¶ Fea-ea-ea-ear-less ¶
And even when the gigs dried up
and we lost our creative drive
and our bookings,
and our voice,
Holly's beautiful mum Roxy...
Yeah, Mum!
..We found something else.
I never found anything.
Friendship.
I know we don't get to see
each other
as much as we would
like to, um...
..but when we do, I've got to
say it's sort of wonderful.
- To friendship.
- Friendship.
- To friendship.
- To friendship.
- Friendship.
- And families.
- Prehistoric friendship.
- Jurassic friendship.
- Friendship.
- Alright, pass your plates.
¶ Those days
were so sweet
¶ The best days of my life
¶ Yeah
¶ I wanna know, babe
I wanna know, babe... ¶
- No, no, it's OK. All good.
- Thank you...
Ella.
Dr Ella. She's the brains
of the family.
- Dad.
- What?
- It's embarrassing.
- It's the truth.
- More coffee, Mum?
- Thanks.
- How many sheep do you run?
- Just over 15,000.
I'm only running at
half capacity at the moment.
Dan.
So what happened
with art school?
Can't draw.
And the Communication thing?
Can't write.
Not good enough, anyway.
So what are you good at?
Skating.
- Well, that's a start.
- Yeah.
I'm supposed to rev you up
about the joys
of journalistic life.
Don't bother.
Yeah.
Couple of us actually have
an idea for an app.
Oh. What's that?
It's like a skater hub, kind of
thing. It's early days though.
Wow. On trend, dude.
- You follow your dreams.
- Yeah.
Dad wants me to follow
his dreams.
Go and become the great
creative he failed to become.
Listen, at your age
it is your responsibility
to ignore your father.
In fact, it's pretty much
your only responsibility.
I'm here for you, dude.
Thanks, Leo. Cheers.
Ah, wouldn't it be much better
over there?
That's what I was thinking.
It's a much better place
for it.
Well, it's the more obvious
spot, ready-made for shade.
It's going over here.
Well, if you want to make
a big mistake, go right ahead.
You know what, it's his oven.
If he wants to put it there,
we won't give him a hard time.
Jesus, can't you just hire
someone, Frank?
We can, but it's more fun
if we do it.
Look, this is gonna be a place
to gather in a storm,
to remember the community
of those you love.
Let's go surfin'.
¶ You make me
feel so young
¶ You make me feel
so spring has sprung ¶
We should be
at the golf course.
That's where
the grown-ups are.
Golf? I'm not 103, mate.
Bloody close to it.
Not until tomorrow.
Yeah!
¶ I wanna go play hide-and-seek
¶ I wanna go and bounce
the moon

Hey, look at this.
- Hey!
- Hey!
Hey, he's still got it.
- Look at that.
- Pretty good.
Flat as a tack.
I look pretty bloody good
these days, you know,
- for a young bloke.
- Yeah, not bad.
Look at that.
Dunno what you're doing.

Can you take amateur hour
somewhere else please?
Sorry.
Yeah, well, you're scaring
the children.
- Sorry.
- Yeah, sorry.
- Who are they, Nana?
- Some has-beens.
Bloody hell. Doesn't take much
to scare kids these days.
I'm with her.
You were bloody terrifying.
That's Uncle Billy
and Eva.
That must've been
when they first met.
Leo.
Dad's guns.
You and your mum again.
Oh, my God. Look at that.
Remember that was
after Mum died
and I'd just moved in
with you guys.
Ouch!
Will you stop it
with the mosquitos!
- What's the matter with you?
- Drives me crazy.
Didn't you get enough attention
as babies or something?
With Frank, it's sneezing.
When he sneezes
it's like a bomb going off.
I just want to kill him.
What about, 'Bless you.
Sorry about your allergies'?
You do it on purpose.
- Leo...
- Don't you dare.
Leo's perfect.
My thoughts exactly.
Thank you, darling.
See what you've got
to look forward to, Doug?
And her mother was
a pain in the arse.
Well, I know that.
She wouldn't put up
with your music taste.
You know that Dougie's into
a bit of Willie Nelson
and the Carpenters?
Turn it up.
You love the Carpenters.
Mama was blues,
through and through.
Yeah, different times.
She'd like to be making
your sort of money.
Mm, and I'd like to be singing
in a band instead of,
¶ We're happy

Hey! Nothing wrong
with advertising.
Some of us keep off
the breadline with it.
Actually, Billy just won
an advertising prize.
Yep.
- Best Jingle of the Year.
- Ah, it was bullshit.
- Why are you denying it?
- Let's hear it.
Nah, nah, nah.
Why do mozzies only love me?
Someone has to.
Shame about that chimney,
Frank.
¶ PRETTY PAPA BLUES
- Can I just have a go?
- No.
He's very serious
when he's gaming.
This is a very intense moment.
See if you can teach him
some manners, Caitlyn.
It was a very important moment.
Yes!
I'm coming in.
You are just as handsome
as ever.
How are you?
I'm good now. Much better.
Looking forward
to getting back to work.
We missed you.
You know...
..I had a bit of a scare too.
What?
Yeah, it was bloody melanoma
but it's fine.
- No!
- I'm clear.
Leo, why didn't you tell us?
Well, it's a bastard
but we're survivors, you and I.
But it changes you, doesn't it?
Mm.
I call it uninvited clarity.
That's right.
I don't feel the same
about so many things now.
No.
Some things you think
are important
that just don't matter at all
and other things...
much more so.
Yeah.
What?
Our agreement.
I've rethought, Lottie.
What?
- Is that why you came?
- No, no, no, wait.
- Just hear me out.
- You can't rethink, Leo.
No, you're right,
it's not rethinking,
it's-it's what's unresolved.
It's not unresolved.
We resolved it 20 years ago.
- You might have.
- We all did.
It's not the way I see it.
Does Bridget know
what you want?
No.
She'd be appalled.
We had an agreement.
We made a pact, Leo.
And for good reasons.
They're still good reasons.
Yes, they are.
But they're not good enough.
- Give it to me!
- I want a go!
- Come here!
- Give it! Give it!
- Take it off me.
- Give me the...
- Take it!
- Give me the phone!
Give me the phone. Thank you.
I'm going to talk to Frank.
No, you will not.
I'll talk to Frank.
You coming, Dad?
Yep. In a minute.
Hey, we've found it,
we've found it.
Come and check out
Billy's prizewinning baby.
- What are you doing?
- Don't be so modest, Billy.
- Eva...
- Come on, come on!
Let's see!
- You found it!
- Come on.
- Well done.
- Come on. Gather round.
- Great!
- Alright.
¶ When you say that you just
can't hang on ¶
Stop it.
¶ When you're letting go ¶
Shush!
What is it?
Oh, my God!
¶ Fearless ¶
Hey!
Ella, shut up!
¶ Fearless
¶ Fea-ea-ea-ear-less. ¶
- Oh, wow.
- Is this a joke, Billy?
- Listen, Frank...
- Jesus, Billy.
- That's our song, you prick.
- How could you do that?
What's happened?
Billy turned Fearless
into a diapers ad.
Diapers? What the fuck?!
That was Mum's song.
We sang that at her funeral,
for God's sake.
Can everyone just calm down?
It's just a song.
Exactly. The Rolling Stones
used Start Me Up
to sell Microsoft Windows.
I'll bet Keith never sold it
behind Mick's back.
The Pacific Sideburns go down
as the voice of incontinence!
- What, ADULT diapers?
- Nobody's going to see it.
- Where's it playing?
- Nowhere important.
- Where's it playing, Billy?
- Europe.
Europe?!
I wanted to ask you. I was
trying to find the right time.
You know there's no
bloody right time!
If Mum was here she would
punch you, you fucker.
There... There was a deadline.
And we...
I-I couldn't lose the gig.
I needed something good,
and fast.
So you stole our only hit?
What is the matter with you?
Bloody hell, Bill!
- I wrote it.
- Not on your own, ya wanker!
What do you care, Dad?
You were just the manager.
Hear, hear.
Fuck!
Good one, Eva.
Adult diapers!
I'm gonna vomit!
¶ It's a man's world
¶ This is a man's world
¶ It would be nothing
¶ No...
¶ Without a woman
or a girl... ¶
I feel like such an idiot.
I was just happy
he'd won something.
I mean, obviously,
if I'd known, I...
No-one is blaming you, Eva.
Billy is just being a dick.
You're not his keeper, Eva.
It's just the male ego,
it's this desperate need
to succeed
and it corrupts their judgment.
I don't know if it's that,
exactly.
It's about what they've always
dreamed of for themselves
and...
..what they've turned out
to be.
Well, isn't that true
for all of us?
Yes, but we've learnt to keep
our expectations in check.
Oh, well, stuff that!
Oh, I loved Billy's ego.
There was something really sexy
about his genuine
self-confidence.
But when they lose it,
boy, don't they know it.
Why did Frankie sell
the business?
Like, he lived
for Swagger Gear.
I-I begged him not to sell it.
I mean, I was coping fine.
It's...
..just.... you know Frank.
There's no telling him.
Silly bastard.
And I haven't been too much fun
myself.
I think you've got
a good reason
not to have been
a laugh a minute.
Oh, it's those
anti-oestrogen drugs.
They make you miserable
and snappy.
And then you dry up
like an old prune.
Well, crack open
the coconut oil.
What?
It's for more
than just cooking.
- Get out!
- Yeah.
It does wonders for
the velcro vagina.
It's true.
I'll show you, if you like.
Stop it!
Anyway, I'm not on them anymore
and I can already feel
my whole body waking up.
Whoo!
- Yeah.
- Look out, Frank!
Ohhh!
Don't even look at that.
Why didn't you tell me?
Fearless is 40 years old,
for Christ's sake.
Oh, well, sleep well then.
Alright, then.
I was ashamed.
Look at us.
Failed jingle writer
and an ageing actress.
A what?
You're beautiful.
You'll always be beautiful.
But, come on,
the world we live in.
It's over for us.
Oh, fuck off.
No, go on. Fuck off.
Where?
Oh, I don't care. Just get out.
Get out until you grow up.
God!
And turn the light out.
And shut the door.
I don't believe it!
Oh, my God. Why are you
so good to me?
'Cause you deserve it.
I don't.
And because since the second
we met
I've spent every waking moment
working out
how I could win you.
Do you have any idea
how much energy that takes?
I'm sorry.
I just had to be sure.
So, are you?
What?
As sure as I am.
Have you got
any of that energy left?
Mm, maybe.
Battle Of The Orcs.
You awake?
Mm-hm.
What?
I was talking to Leo.
- Yeah.
- And...
- ..well, he says that...
- Yeah?
- ..That he...
- What?
..He...
..had a cancer scare. Melanoma.
Christ.
Is he alright?
Yeah.
Why is Billy such an
ungrateful bastard?
He's resentful. He's broke.
I flew them out here
business class, didn't I?
It was hard for him
to accept it.
Not so hard
he declined the offer.
Sometimes...
..you just need to
let things go, Frank.
And appreciate
what's in front of you.
You used to be so good
at seizing the moment.
I used to be good at
a lot of things.
What's up?
Charlotte told me.
Oh, geez, Frank.
I'm sorry. I really should have
told you first.
You don't have to be sorry.
I understand.
You do?
That's really good of you.
To be honest, I didn't know
how you'd react.
How I'd react?
Come here, you big dope.
I love you, mate.
I'm just glad you're alright.
Oh, Frank, I really...
I really appreciate that.
You ARE alright? Hm?
I mean, everything's good now?
Y-yeah, I'm fine.
It's fine.
- That for me?
- Yeah.
- You having one?
- Right. Yep.
It's your handsome prince,
rousing you from your slumber.
Please don't kiss me.
Anything you want to tell me?
I'm... an idiot.
And?
I'm...
..sorry?
Argh! Get off me!
You have put on so much weight,
you fat bastard.
OK, girls, let's walk the dog.
And breathing, step or jump in
the feet towards the hands
and roll up through the body
into Anjali Mudra.
Lift the face and the hands
and salute the sun.
And fold down the body
into the plank.
Inhale and exhale,
heart over the hands,
into Chaturanga.
Breathing into upward dog
and exhale into downward dog.
Centre yourself.
Oh, God!
Tell yourself, 'I am enough.'
- I'm enough.
- I am enough.
I've had enough!
Engage with your deepest
and most private place.
Pepper!
Don't blame Pepper,
that was you!
Oh, my God, that was
really classy, Bridget.
What, don't movie stars fart?
No, never. Oh!
It's not fair. That body at 60.
It's not easy.
I had to work at it.
Well, however you did it,
you're every bloke's fantasy.
Oh. Well, maybe once.
You know I've been...
I've been approached
to play a grandmother.
- Oh, no.
- Oh, what?
And I have to fight for it.
- Rubbish.
- What's wrong with that?
I think it's really cool to go
from sex kitten to granny.
She's too young to play
a grandmother. Come on!
60's the new 40,
you know.
Yeah, sure, from behind
and in the dark, Mum.
Dream on, grannies, I'm done.
I need
a headache tablet.
No!
No, don't you dare!
You horrible child!

for a king's ransom
but you couldn't stretch
to an espresso machine, Frank.
Gotta have something to leave
the house for, Billy.
Shame about that chimney.
Just a tiny blip on paradise.
How's the Mustang, Billy?
Still going?
- Sold it.
- You sold it?
You loved
that jalopy.
Well, you know, you move on.
Your pride and joy.
How could you?
Well, Frankie,
I wouldn't have bloody sold it
if I didn't have to.
OK.
Must be easy to forget what
normal life is like, Frank,
but some of us still flinch
when the bill comes.
You're a chippy bastard. I'll
buy your Mustang back for you.
No. That's not
what he wants.
Yes, it is.
Buy it for me, then.
Doesn't mean anything to you,
means the world to me.
- Alright, I will.
- Get stuffed.
Listen, you little shit,
I apologise for not making it
as an artist,
who we all know
are superior beings.
Who knew the world would want
my T-shirts, but they did.
I got a shitload of money for
it and I'm not apologising.
Exactly. No big deal.
We all know it's more
about luck than talent.
Oh, shut up, Billy.
Frank worked bloody hard
to find and support artists.
Don't be such a jerk.
Lots of people work hard.
They don't end up with a house
in Palm Beach.
Come on, Billy.
Let's run off this lunch.
- No, thanks.
- I'll pay you for it.
'Cause after all,
I'm just rolling in it.
- You coming, Leo?
- Come on, Uncle Billy.
No, I'll help with
the washing up.
Oh, no help required.
Did he say he would help
with the washing up?
I've got a few errands to run
in Avalon anyway.
- I'll give you a hand.
- No!
- No, I'm fine.

He deserves the truth.
Besides, Frank's had him
for 20 years. It's my turn.
You've got a daughter.
- Stepdaughter.
- Pepper, stay.
Come on, don't be ridiculous.
That's like me saying to you,
'You have Ella
and that's enough.'
Ella's your flesh and blood.
Well, so what?
You're Caitlyn's dad
in every way that's important.
Here.
Let me, let me.
Look, Leo. Leo. Leo.
Don't you remember?
On the stairs, back in Newtown,
you, me and Frank
when I told you that there was
just an infinitesimal chance
and we all agreed
that it wasn't worth losing
what we had.
And Frank, who, at that moment,
had every reason to hate you,
he said, 'If we don't know
'then it won't get in the way
of any of us loving him.'
And you agreed, Leo.
You did. We all agreed.
Don't you remember?
Yes, I remember
but this is 20 years later
and I'm not who I was.
Well, just be who you were!
Ooh!
- Hi, Charlotte.
- Lorna.
Leo - Lorna. Lorna - Leo.
Hi, Leo.
Um... Oh, are you a shrink too?
- No.
- Oh.
Well, I don't mind telling you
that this little lady saved
my life, no, saved my life
and it's not an exaggeration
because I don't think I...
- Lorna.
- Well, I...
Would you fuck off, please?
Better be going.
I think you'd better go too.
I think you'd better find
any excuse. Just go.
I can't. You know that.
Where are you going?
Home.
- What about the shopping?
- Oh, fuck the shopping.
Caitlyn just
adores Leo.
He's been a fantastic dad.
She was just six years old
when my first husband left.
It's gonna be far worse
when she loses Leo.
Well, he hasn't gone yet.
I know. I'm sorry.
This wine makes me whine.
Oh, you whine away, darling.
Whine away.
- You're so lucky.
- Why?
Well, Billy still loves you.
I don't know where you get
that idea.
I can tell.
The way he looks at you.
Oh, he's just too vain
to wear his glasses.
All he sees is a blur!
What happened to you?
I'm not a pathological
show-off,
like some people
I know.
I'm definitely not 40 anymore.
None of us are
who we used to be.
I used to be a musician.
You used to be
an unemployed musician.
Now, I'm hired to flog nappies.
Ah, you're an artist, Billy.
I used to be always jealous of
you blokes - talented bastards.
All hail the conquering heroes.
At least you have other things.
I've never wanted kids.
Now I look at yours.
You have bloody great kids,
Frank.
Sometimes I think the only kids
that do any good in life
are the ones that have to
overcome obstacles.
My kids don't have
any obstacles to overcome.
Frank, you're 80 kilos
of obstacle.
85.
You know I can't even get it up
anymore?
Really? Not at all?
They say it's not uncommon
for blokes our age.
Not me, mate. Right as rain.
Like a steel rod.
You're a bastard.
Help!
Help! We can't get down!
Dougie to the rescue!
- Stuck! The ladder...
- My God, where's the ladder?
- Could you please...
- Whoa, whoa, hang on.
- You right?
- No, we're not alright.
- What does it look like?
- Watch your foot.
Girls, for health and safety
reasons
I'll have to give you
a random breath test.
You two. Trouble, huh?
- Come here.
- Stop, I'm gonna pee.
- No, no, no, no, don't.
- No! Come back!
You ready?
Push yourself up, there you go.
Yay! Dougie to the rescue!
Oh, my God!
So, do you think he's the one?
I really like him.
So do we.
I can't see you
on a sheep farm, Holly.
Oh, I can.
- Oh, that's serious.
- Mm.
Done.
It's not lined up properly.
Looks pretty good to me.
That brick
is not in the middle.
- Yeah, it bloody is.
- It's good enough.
- It's good enough?
- Yeah, it's good enough.
We don't need this
micromanaging, Frank.
It's not
the Opera House.
If you're gonna do something,
you do it well.
Dan does not need encouragement
to get sloppy.
Frank, enough of the criticism,
OK?
Get stuffed, Leo.
Hey, wasn't this
supposed to be bonding?
It's hard to bond
with the Gestapo here.
What's that
supposed to mean?
I don't know
what's pissing you off
but don't take it out
on us.
When do I get
my yoga ball back?
Tea's up, anyway.
Hey, come on.
Thanks, love.
- Hello, ladies!
- Bombs away!
No!
Wow! Look at that!
Even though I say so myself,
you've done well, Frank.
Real shame about that chimney.

- Beautiful.
- Delicious.

Frank, get down
before you kill yourself.
He's gone mad!
Frank, get down here!
Don't let anyone
come near me!
Stop being an idiot.
Frank, I'm coming up
to get you.
Billy, help them.
It's your fault!
- Why's it my fault?
- It's always your fault!
- Leo, hold the ladder.
- You can fuck off!
You're all fuckwits. I don't
know why I invited you all.
I hate you all.
- No, you don't.
- Yes, I do.
And I hate you
more than anyone.
No, you hate me more!
- No, I hate him more.
- He hates me more.
Why'd you come?
It's your bloody birthday
and we're here to celebrate
- the rational...
- Mature.
..Mature, wise old bloke
you've become. Come on!
For God's sake, Frank.
What will we say to the owners?
We are the owners!
What?
I bought it yesterday.
- Oh.
- Did you know about this?
Oh, God!
Get away, I'm coming down.
- Go on, get away!
- Rightio.
She didn't know about this.
Frank.
There. Happy now?
Frank!
Frank!
- You bought a house?
- So what if I did?
Without talking to me!
You just think you can fix
everything with a chequebook.
It bloody helps.
You're a lunatic.
It's my money!
If I want to knock down
a chimney, I will.
'My money'?
You know I mean our money.
Of course it's our money.
I didn't buy the house.
You didn't buy it?
I enquired... about it.
Why did you tell everybody
you did?
I don't know.
I'll cancel the dinner tonight.
No.
No, I'll be fine.
I know
it means playing a grandmother
but it can't hurt playing
Nicole's mum, right,
and the director's last film
made a bomb for his studio.
Great. Let's give it a go.
- OK, well, we'll talk.
- OK, thanks, Harry.
She's 50, for Christ's sake.
You can't play her mother.
Well, apparently I can.
It's your career.
¶ I've been loving you
¶ Too long
¶ To stop now ¶
Let's see.
- You look so hot.
- Let's go.
- Give me a kiss.
- Five minutes.
Alright, everybody, let's go.
- Ooh.
- Dan's waiting in the boat.
Let's go. Where's Frank?
I'll go find him. Take that.
Want to take this?
Dad?
Dad!
Dad?
Come on.
You look lovely.
Thanks.
You OK?
Never been better.
Just give me a sec.
Mum's in the car.
¶ ..Has been so wonderful
¶ I can't stop now ¶
¶ You were tired ¶
Ahoy!
¶ And your love is growing cold
¶ My love is growing stronger
¶ As our affair,
affair grows old ¶
Welcome aboard, sir.
¶ I've been loving you
¶ All too long ¶
You alright, Mum?
¶ To stop now
¶ Oh, oh, oh
¶ I've been loving you
¶ A little too long
¶ I don't want to stop now
¶ Oh, oh
¶ Don't make me stop now... ¶
That's a shame, babe.
I was liking the sound of that.
Dougie and I are actually
quite compatible.
We are at it three times a day.
What's unusual
about that?
I can't think of anything
worse.
Oh, speech.
Attention, please.
Yes, I just want to say
a few words to Dad.
Oh, Dad.
You are an obstinate,
blinkered,
anal, obstreperous,
control freak.
Hear, hear.
That's nice.
Must be my birthday.
Let's not forget
your shining moments.
Let's see. When you forgot
my dance performance,
when you forgot
my debating final.
When you forgot my inter-school
Tournament of the Minds
Competition,
which led to
the State championships,
which you missed.
And then there was the time
you told my school principal
that she was full of shit.
Well, she was.
Or when you yelled at me after
I missed that goal in the semi
and then you got kicked out
of the grounds.
If you'd listened to me
you would've got that goal.
I guess that sometimes
kids don't realise
that their parents -
well, you're people too,
with hurts and struggles.
And I just wanted to say
that I wouldn't have got
through med school
without your support
and encouragement
and you're
a really great father.
- To Frank.
- To Frank. Happy birthday.
- We love you.
- To Dad.
We love you.
Oh, that's nice.
- Speech!
- Speech!
Come on, Frank.
Thank you, darling,
that was, um...
That was beautiful.
I'm a, ah, lucky fella.
Ahhh...
Excuse me, won't you?
Dad.
- Don't be sad. I love you.
- And I love you too.
- Will you open your presents?
- All good, Dad?
- What you got there?
- Oh, look at that!
- Funny.
- What is it?
Let me take the ribbon.
I need a ribbon.
Daniel.
- What is that?
- What do you reckon?
- It's a monkey.
- And he plays the drums.
Where did you find that?
Oh, that is ridiculous!
Is it... It's a really old one.
Where did you find that?
How do you play it?
¶ Happy birthday to you
¶ Happy birthday
to you
¶ Happy birthday, dear Frank
¶ Happy birthday to you. ¶
- Hip, hip!
- Hooray!
- Hip, hip!
- Hooray!
- Hip, hip!
- Hooray!
- Look at this!
- Look at that.
- Isn't that good?
- Isn't that wonderful?
Where's Dan?
Oh, I think they went down
to the pontoon.
Oh!
What is that?
Who did that?
Very good, thanks!
Excuse me. I can't see.
There we go.
¶ CATCH THE WIND
¶ In the chilly hours
and minutes of uncertainty
¶ I want to be in the warm hold
of your loving mind
- ¶ To feel you all around me ¶
- Thank you.
¶ And to take your hand
along the sand
¶ Ah, but I may as well
try and catch the wind
¶ When sundown
pales the sky... ¶
¶ I want to hide
a while
¶ Behind your smile
¶ And everywhere I look
your eyes I'd find
¶ For me to love you now
would be the sweetest thing
¶ Would make me sing
¶ Ah, but I may as well
try and catch the wind. ¶
Shit! I hope our kids
have your singing voice.
Oops, that just... That popped
out of nowhere, didn't it?
Wow.
I guess I'm asking you
to marry me, Holl.
You know,
there's nothing I want more
than to call you 'missus'
and live happily ever after.
I know that you do, Dougie.
I'm sorry. I'm not
the right person for you.
- I've got the keys.
- What did you get from Leo?
What did you give me, Leo?
What did he give me?
He gave you the cognac,
didn't he?
Did he?
It looks like it's between me
and one other actress.
Whoo-hoo!
With a bit of luck,
you might get to play a granny.
..Or you want to be a dog
for the rest of your life?
Hey.
Hey.
Thanks, Leo, for... for
not saying anything.
I haven't changed my mind.
Frank must wonder himself.
- He hasn't wondered.
- Oh, that's bullshit.
He has a problem with Dan
and I'm pretty sure I know why.
Lottie...
..nothing will change
unless you force him
to acknowledge it,
just like he was forced
to acknowledge
what a crap husband he was
all those years he was married
to his bloody business.
Oh, shush. It got better.
It got better because one night
you and I fell into bed.
And Frank realised
he had to lift his game,
otherwise he'd lose you.
It was much more than just a...
It was much more
than just a fling, Lottie.
I was in love with you
and you were...
Ella!
Ella, wait!
Ella, wait!
I need to talk to you.
- Ella, Ella! Listen to me.
- Mum, I don't want to hear it.
Ella, it was 20 years ago!
But you were married to Dad.
We were going
through something.
You don't do that
to someone you love.
- No wonder he's depressed.
- He's not depressed.
He's just dealing
with a lot of stuff.
How often do you prescribe
antidepressants
to happy people?
- I haven't prescribed them.
- Well, someone has.
What's going on? Eh?
What's going on?
Leo wants to know.
- What?
- Dan.
I want to know, Frank.
You serious?
Yes, I am. I'm serious.
Have you thought about
what this is gonna do to Dan?
Dan might be happy to know
you're not his father.
Did you think of that?
Frank! Frank, stop it!
- Stop!
- You bastard.
Stop!
Stop it!
No, no, no, no, no!
Why don't you just
talk about it?
You treat him like shit!
How the hell would you
bloody know?
Everyone knows.
Stop it!
He's my son, Frank,
and you know it.
Fuck you, Frank.
Fuck you, Leo.
Shut up!
Don't get blood on the linen.
Do you remember
when we first met?
What?
Do you remember
when we first met?
Of course I do.
It was at the Indiana Teahouse
in Cottesloe.
Nice try.
It was on a plane
from Karratha.
You were covering
a mining story
and I was a... a single
mum
struggling with a very cranky
six-year-old
and I'd just lost
my teaching job
and I was transferring...
..back to... back to Perth.
So?
Sometimes I, ah...
..I think you fell in love with
the idea of giving me a...
..a fairytale ending.
I was in love with you,
Bridget.
Are you sure you didn't
just want to save me?
It's very different, you know.
For God's sake, Bridget,
what are you talking about?
You already have a daughter...
..and a wife...
..who love you and want you.
Jesus, Leo.
What difference will knowing
make?
Do you want to talk about it?
About what?
Well, the pills you're taking,
for starters.
Talk to me, Frank.
I should never have sold
the business.
Ever since I've sold it
I've felt...
..dead.
Do you think he's mine?
I've always wondered.
Billy.
Billy.
What are you doing?
I'm leaving.
I've had enough.
One day I hope you wake up
and realise
that your life was
pretty bloody good.
Hey, hey, Eva, Eva, come on!
We've gone through
a lot of shit before this.
I'm not gonna say goodbye.
You tell them when I've left.
They'll understand.
- Open the window!
- No. No.
- Just give me 15 seconds.
- No, keep going.
- Please!
- Oh, my God. Keep going.
Stop, stop!
- Oh, my God!
- Eva, give me a chance.
Just give me a chance, please.
Eva, Eva, Eva...
..I don't know why but
I sabotage every good thing
and you're the best thing.
And you're right.
I'm selfish and ungrateful
and... and miserably jealous.
And all my shit is because
I've always believed
that I don't deserve you.
Please forgive me.
Please.
- Don't believe him.
- Shut up!
Thanks. I'll deal with this.
I'm not going to
get out of this car...
..until you promise me...
..that the next ten years
are going to be our best.
I promise you.
Cross my heart and hope to die.
You don't deserve me.
Billy.
It's alright now, it's alright.
Yeah, look,
congratulations and everything
but can I get
a cancellation fee?
- Yeah.
- Yeah, um...
Thanks.
20 bucks?
I come from Dee Why, mate.
- Oh, thanks, mate!
- No, it's alright.
- No, don't....
- Ohhh!
- Yeah, OK.
- Let him go.
¶ PAIN AND MISERY
¶ I've been in love, honey
You know it's true
¶ Whoa, since that day
I first laid my eyes on you
¶ Love is a crazy game, baby
¶ Is how I feel ¶
¶ It can make you, oh, so high
¶ But it takes so long to heal
¶ So please, yeah, yeah
¶ Won't you stay with me
¶ 'Cause since you gone
¶ Pain and misery
¶ Honey, please, yeah, yeah
¶ Won't you stay with me
¶ 'Cause since you gone
it's pain and misery
¶ Every day is pain
¶ In the end it's hard to see
¶ Every fateful day
is oh, so sad
¶ Now that I've lost the best
friend that I ever had... ¶
¶ Seems I've got
to have a change of scene
¶ 'Cause every night
I have the strangest dreams
¶ Imprisoned by the way
I could have been
¶ Left here on my own
or so it seems
¶ I got to leave
before I start to scream
¶ But someone locked the door
¶ And took the key
¶ You're feelin' alright?
¶ Ah-ha
¶ Not feelin' too good myself
¶ Ah-ha
¶ You're feelin' alright?
¶ Ah-ha
¶ I'm not feelin' too good
myself
¶ Ah-ha
¶ You're feelin' alright?
¶ Ah-ha
¶ I'm not feelin' too good
myself
¶ Ah-ha
¶ You're feelin' ... ¶
Whoo-hoo!
Hey, Cait, come on.
Let's go for a burn.
'Dad, can I go for a burn
'in the boat I buggered
last time I used it?'
Well?
Course you can, darling.
Do what you like.
You always do.
- You ready?
- Yep.
Away you go.
¶ You feelin' alright?
¶ Ah-ha
¶ I'm not feelin' too good
myself
¶ Ah-ha
- ¶ You feelin' alright? ¶
- Good?
- ¶ Ah-ha
- Yeah!
¶ I'm not feelin'
that good myself ¶
- Whooo!
- ¶ Ah-ha
¶ Boy, you sure took me
for one big ride
¶ Even now I sit
and I wonder why
¶ Mm, and when I think of you
¶ I sit down myself and cry
¶ I just can't waste my time
¶ I must keep dry
¶ Call me... ¶
Dan! Dan!
Dan!
Dan! Dan!
- Frank!
- Help!
Frank, quick!
No!
Dougie. Um, do you have to go
now?
Just go tomorrow or...
in the morning.
I don't want to get in the way,
Holl.
You're family, you know?
I'm not.
Take care.
What was that?
Nothing to worry about.
Why won't they tell us
anything?
If we lose him...
..I will never forgive myself.
Frank.
It was an accident.
My last words to him,
'Do what you like.
You always do.'
Why did I say that?
It's not the truth.
I don't deserve him.
- Caitlyn?
- She's fine.
I'm so sorry, Dad.
No, no, no, mate, it's alright.
I'm the one who's sorry.
You gave us such a fright,
darling.
I'm sorry, Mum.
- Dr Hall.
- Frank Lowther.
- This is Charlotte, Dan's...
- Hello.
Hello?
OK. Thanks, Dad.
He's got a broken shoulder
but he's gonna be OK.
Oh, darling. Oh.
There you are.
Oh.
Oh, sweetheart. Oh.
I love you.
Dad!
Are you alright?
Yes, I am.
It's going to be alright.
Forgive me, I...
I've been an idiot.
- Watch your head, darling.
- Yep.
There.
Thanks, Mum.
From now on, mate,
I'm out of your way.
But I'm here
whenever you need me.
I'm not going to sit
on my arse, Dad.
I know.
Shhh.
- Thanks, Billy.
- OK.
Oh, Ella, he's sleeping now.
He's going to be OK.
You're right, Leo.
- What?
- Leo's right.
Dan needs to know the truth.
We all do.
What do you mean?
It has to be finished.
We should've found out
20 years ago.
What's going on?
We'll do a DNA test,
put it all to rest.
Frank, listen,
that's not necessary.
Let sleeping dogs lie,
for heaven's sake.
Do it, Leo.
Guys,
you're all completely mad.
Come on.
Second-year genetics.
Why didn't you just ask me?
I've tested Dan's DNA, and
mine. We have the same.
99.99 % chance he's my brother.
If Leo's Dan's father,
he's mine too.
Mum?
Not a chance.
CLOSE TO YOU
¶ Why do birds
suddenly appear ¶
And we'll all leave
in the morning.
¶ Every time you are near
¶ Just like me
they long to be
¶ Close to you ¶
Here comes the cavalry.
Oh, you beauty!
¶ ..Fall down from the sky
¶ Every time you walk by
Holl. Holl, you hungry?
No, I'm fine, thanks.
I think you are.
¶ On the day that you were born
¶ The angels got together
¶ And decided to create a dream
come true
¶ So they sprinkled moon dust
in your hair of gold
¶ And starlight
in your eyes of blue... ¶
Achoo!
Achoo!
Achoo!
Achoo!
Bless you, darling. I'm so
sorry for your allergies.
Oh, you are
feeling better.
Ah, they're quite useful.
¶ SOUL KIND OF FEELING
¶ Ooh
¶ It's just a soul
kinda feeling
¶ A-movin' with the beat
¶ It's just a soul
kinda feeling
¶ A-soundin' kinda sweet
¶ You might be sittin' alone
in your room ¶
Hey, we've started.
- Well?
- No.
Oh, no.
Apparently they...
They thought I looked too young
to play Nicole's mother.
- What?
- Ohhh!
I'm calling those
brain-dead casting directors
and tell them you'd be perfect.
'Should see her first thing
in the morning,' I'll say.
Under the right lights,
she looks 102!
Pizza's up!
Oh, it smells fantastic!
Congratulations.
Absolutely wonderful.
¶ It might take you higher
¶ It might take you higher... ¶
- Look who I've got!
- Hey, Pepper!
Whoo-hoo!
Not until
you get off the phone.
Wait, wait. Let me just
fix the music. Hang on.
- Hey, none of that rap crap.
- Hang on, hang on.
This is for you, Dad.
Come on, beautiful.
Put that down.
We're on, here. We're on.
Come on.
¶ When you say that you just
can't hang on
¶ When you're letting go
and want to run
¶ Don't back up all those
bumpy roads we nearly chose
¶ It's easy
¶ It's easy
¶ 'Cause you're fearless
You're fearless

made in sunshine and in shade

¶ You're fea-ea-ea-ear-less
¶ When you're lying
in the gutter
¶ Your life is all a-clutter
¶ You're fearing night
and counting all the scars
¶ You'd better start
counting stars
¶ 'Cause you're fearless
