Heartbreak High (1994–1999): Season 1, Episode 10 - Episode #1.10 - full transcript

Nick hits Jodie after she confesses to a romantic fling while in Melbourne. Christina's future with Marco is thrown into doubt when he announces a promotion that will take him to Perth. A new drama teacher arrives at Hartley and quickly attracts the attentions of his female students.

Look, guys. He's going downstairs.

-Who is it?
-It's the father. Shush.

It's the cleaner, stupid.
-Shut up.

Watch this bit. Now, this is mad.
-Shut up.

Shut up, Steve.
-You've ruined it.

What are you doing, man?

I thought that you said
you were gonna pause it.

Rewind it. What did I miss?

-Rewind it.
-Shh.

What are you doing here? You're not
supposed to be watching this stuff.

-I've seen this three times already.
-Go outside.



Hello.

-Nick, it's for you.
-Tell him I'll call back later.

-He'll call you back, Jodie. Okay.
-Jodie?

Hello?

Yeah, it's me.

How have you been? Okay?
-It's pathetic, man.

Yeah, I know.
It's been a long time.

Look at her.

Yeah, I've been busy, too. Tomorrow?

All right. Great. I'll see you then.
All right. Bye.

-Guess what, man.
-What?

-Jodie's back.
-Really?

Watch the film, man.

Shush, shush.



She's gonna ring me later.

Chrissy? Do us up, will you?

You're not doing homework, are you?
The term doesn't start till tomorrow.

No. I was just making a few notes.

You're excited, aren't you?
-Yeah, I am.

At least I'm not so terrified
as I was last term.

You're deeply disturbed.
That's what you are.

You know what? I miss the kids.

I'm gonna remind you you said that
tomorrow afternoon.

My God.
-You look gorgeous.

-Hi, Yola.
-Hi, Marco.

Hi. What's all this?
-I got it.

-You got the promotion?
-Yeah.

I knew you'd get it. Congratulations.

I wasn't so sure. It's not exactly
the promotion I thought I was getting.

It's bigger and better.

-Hey, that's great.
-It's a pioneering job.

I'll be working with some of the biggest
corporate hotshots in the country.

You are now looking at the new manager
of the Perth office.

Perth?
-It'll be great.

They've set us up in this fabulous house

with a swimming pool,
a tennis court, everything.

-It's amazing.
-I know. The other guy's moved on.

And the more you think about it,
the more you'll love it.

It's gonna be great out there.
Everyone says it's the place to be.

Great investment opportunities.

-Yeah, but what about my work?
-Well, you can work over there.

Look, you won't believe the perks
that go with this job.

I said I wanted a car for us both,
and they said no worries.

An expense account, the works.

I don't know what to say.
It's just so unexpected.

I know. I'm still in shock myself,

but I think I can get used to it,
and I think you can, too.

Yeah, of course I can.
-Well done.

Okay, Eff. Look, beautiful new hairstyle.
What do you reckon?

Not too tight, is it?

-No, it's okay.
-Good.

Good morning, peoples.
-Hi, Con.

Stella, you're looking mighty fine
this morning, if I do say so myself.

-Thank you. I made it myself.
-You should go into business then.

I make my own clothes
to save money, not make it.

Well, you obviously need a manager.

-Seriously.
-I'll bet you know just the guy.

I'll give you my number.

Con, why don't you go and check
if Nick's ready yet?

He doesn't want Nick.
He's here for Stella.

Shh!
-What?

Nick doesn't want to hang around Con
this morning. He's meeting Jodie.

- And who's Jodie?
-His girlfriend.

-She's so cool. She's a singer.
-She is trouble.

-Why?
-He nearly left school because of her.

-Really?
-He was madly in love.

He's mad, all right. Yeah.
-Bye, Nick.

-See you. Bye, Dad.
-Hey, catch you later.

Ciao.

-Ciao, Con.
-I think he likes you.

-I think he's funny.
-What are you two talking about?

Nothing, Mr. Poulos.
Just drink your coffee.

You know, Nick.
You know what our problem is, mate?

We're looking in the wrong place.

Forget all these girls and stuff, man.
We want women.

What are you talking about?
-Women, mate. Not little girls. Women.

What, like Stella?

-That's experience, mate. Experience.
-Get real.

I wonder who he is.

Looks like some
surf casualty to me.

Maybe he's a teacher.
-He doesn't look like no teacher, Chaka.

-Whoever he is, he's a major spunk.
-He's mine.

Wouldn't you say he's a bit too old
for you, Chaka?

I go for the fatherly types, Rose.

I'd cut off my right arm
for a guy like that.

That can be arranged.

Did you see that?

Haven't you got some work to do
or something? Good. See you later.

Look, Chris, can you do me a favor?

Can you keep an eye on Costas
and his reading problem?

I'm sure his mother's gonna be
pounding on my door within the week.

-Are you listening to me?
-Yes.

Look, I know all about him, all right?
I had him last term. Remember?

Look, I just wish that Marco had
given me a bit of warning about all this.

What is your problem?
I mean, Marco is just excited.

-It is a great opportunity.
-Yeah, I know.

-So when are you gonna give your notice?
-Not now.

-Hello.
-Hi. How are you going?

How was your break?

-It was excellent.
-Yeah?

Had a great time. Went to Byron Bay.
Just what I needed.

-Lucky.
-It was really good. How was yours?

Well, mine was pretty boring, actually.

I stayed at home. You know, boring.
-Come on.

I tell you what.
If it wasn't for Christina,

I reckon they can class
my place as a nunnery.

-Yola.
-And this is Bill Southgate.

What do we have here?
-Bill looks after our science department.

Bill also coaches our rugby league team.

Yeah, you played for Wests
a few years back, right?

A long time ago now.
-Scored a try in the '82 grand final.

-You've got a good memory.
-I was there.

-I'll catch you later.
-Okay.

And this is Christina Milano. Phil North.

You'll be working with Christina
in our English department.

-How do you do?
-Nice to meet you.

And this is Yola Fatoush,
our overworked counselor.

She's always full of the right advice.

-I do the staff in my spare time.
-Lucky for me, I've got lots of problems.

Well, listen. If ever you need to chat,
you come and see me.

-Name the time.
-How about now?

-Graham Brown, music and maths.
-Hi.

-How are you going?
-I'll show you the library, Phil.

-Had a good grip, didn't he?
-Hot pecs.

Please, don't fight over him.
-I saw him first, okay? He's mine.

He's mine. I saw him first. Back off.

Jodie.

Hello.

-Hi.
-When did you get back?

How was it?
-It was great.

Hi.

Hi.
-What about the band?

What happened?
-Tell us.

Can I tell you about it afterwards?

So we're gonna stand here all day?

Come on, Chaka. They've got
catching up to do. All right?

It's only been two months
but so much has gone down.

Yeah, it has.

So do I get a hug?

-I missed you so much.
-I missed you like crazy.

So how come you didn't call me?

I was just so busy all the time
trying to get stuff happening.

-Too busy to call me?
-You know how hectic it gets.

On the road all the time.
Hardly any sleep.

I was really worried about you.

I'm sorry, Nick. I should have called.

I just thought maybe
there might be someone else.

There's nobody else.

Do you swear?

Look, I'm here now.
Doesn't that tell you something?

-But you won't swear though?
-Come on. Don't be stupid.

-Okay, Chaka.
-Yes, Miss.

-Rose.
-Yes, Miss.

-Jack.
-Yeah.

Hi, Jodie. How was Melbourne?

-Awesome.
-Yeah, and that's why you're back, right?

Okay, guys, sit down, please.

If you start hassling me, there's gonna be
trouble, all right, buddy?

-Nick.
-Do I look worried?

-It's nice to see you, Jodie.
-Thanks. You too.

Hey, Miss, who's the spunk
with the bleached hair

who went in the staff room this morning?

-Bleached hair?
-Yeah.

Right. Mr. North. He's a new teacher.

-What does he teach?
-English and Drama.

Cute, too.

-Is he married, Miss?
-What a stupid question.

Is he, Miss?

Look, I don't know.
Look, I'll find out for you, all right?

But that is enough about Mr. North.

Okay, let's talk about
your assignment for the holidays.

-Miss, do we have to?
-All right, how many of you read Macbeth?

I did.

Come on, guys.
We made a deal, didn't we?

All right. How many of you
read just a little of it?

I had to take care of
my brother and sister, Miss.

-I had to work in my uncle's restaurant.
-What about you, Con?

Miss, someone stole my one. I went
to the library to get a new one…

…but I lost my library card.
And then when I lost my library card--

All right, that's enough, Con.
What's your excuse, Nick?

Hey, lover boy.

-What?
-Give him a break.

No running in the corridor, guys.

Do you know that Perth is the second most
isolated city in the world,

outside of Anchorage, Alaska?

Is that supposed to make me feel good?

-How did you know?
-Lebanese grapevine.

I'm gonna kill her.
I haven't even told Mr. Deloraine yet.

-Is it good news or what?
-It's a great opportunity.

Mate, we'd better get back
if we want to make Drama.

You just want to check out
the new teacher.

I do not.

That is Jodie.

-So who's the guy?
-He's just a friend.

Sure looked friendly.

Well, if you really want to know,
he was in the band in Melbourne.

-Did he play the guitar?
-Keyboards. He wrote some of the songs.

-Yeah.
-Were you and him together?

Danni.
-You want to know, Rosie.

-Well?
-Well?

Don't be stupid.

-Cool it.
-Is that, like, surf talk, sir?

It sounds like English to me.

Okay, we're all here to study drama
because we want to.

That's good, because
I'm your new Drama teacher.

-My name is Phil North.
-Can we call you Northy?

Most of my friends call me that,
but seeing as you're not my friend yet,

-you can call me Mr. North.
-Okay, Phil.

Hey, Mr. Northy, man. Did you catch
any bodacious, radical waves? Tubes…

I got some nice waves this morning.
Yes, thank you.

Did you, like, totally wipe out and bang
your head on the reef or something, dude?

-What's your name?
-Rivers.

Rivers. No, I didn't. But is that
what happened to you, dude?

Or did, like, your mother drop you
on your head when you were a baby?

Like, how did you know, dude?

Drama was written to be performed.
Not just read or recited.

That's what's exciting about it.

So the first thing I want to do
is to act out some plays.

-And do some sex scenes like 12 1/2 Weeks?
-9 1/2 Weeks.

And it wasn't a play. But if we have
a play with "Ergh-ergh," you're in it.

That's the only way you're gonna
get any, Bordino. That's for sure.

Right. Thank you.
-Sir?

Are you gonna be
in any of the love scenes with us?

Whoo!

The point of the exercise is so that you
get a better understanding of the text.

And speaking of text, we have to decide
which plays we're gonna study.

Could we do The Taming of the Shrew?

What?
-It's a great play.

Not in the syllabus, though.
-Thank God for that.

All right, fellow drama lovers,
while we think about it,

have a read of these notes
and we'll talk about it in a minute.

-Aww.
-Aww.

I like these kids of yours.
All I hear over there is your name.

-They ever give you a hard time?
-Yeah, they sure have.

You lifted their class average
by six points last term.

-No. Look, I didn't do that. They did it.
-You must've had something to do with it.

I mean, every kid, across the board,
improved. What's your secret?

Look, I don't know. Um…

I try to be friendly
and I treat them with respect.

-And I guess they return it.
-I agree. The role model thing is vital.

And I praise them when I can see that
they're not taking a defeatist attitude.

And when discipline's necessary,

I try to do it in private
so there's no saving face.

It's not that hard.

I've really grown to like these kids.

They're all kind of special,
don't you think?

-Some teachers are special.
-Yeah.

Chris?

I'm afraid I intruded.

Look, it's not you. She's just got
a few things to deal with at the moment.

I wish I could be of some help.

Speaking of help… If there is anything
I can do for you, you just let me know.

-Thanks, Yola.
-Yeah?

Yeah, I will.
-Good.

-How cool is Mr. North?
-Mega cool.

-No, giga cool.
-He's too old to be cool.

What's he got that I haven't got?

-A brain maybe.
-Try looks.

Charm.

He's getting over it now, but I don't want
to see him get jerked around.

-Con, what do you take me for?
-You know what I mean.

Look, I gotta go. Catch you later.

-Hi.
-What are you doing?

-I'm working. What does it look like?
-Since when?

Since today.
I need to earn some extra money.

All right. So when do I get to see you?

Well, my sister's not coming home tonight.

-So do you think we can get together?
-Are you kidding?

I've been looking forward to this
for two months.

Check it out.

Who the heck is that?

So what's new?
-Lots.

-Yeah?
-Yeah.

-Hi.
-Louis. What are you doing here?

That band we were
talking about are playing tonight.

Do you want to go see them?

Louis, this is Nick.

-Nick, this is Louis.
-Hi.

Keyboards with the band in Melbourne.

I'll see you round.

-Nick.
-She's got a nerve.

Listen, are you gonna talk
about North for the rest of your life

or are you gonna do something about it?

I just want to let him
sweat it out for a bit.

Somehow, Yola,
I don't think you're his type.

-And what's that then, Bill?
-The blond-haired, blue-eyed beach babe.

Yeah, and what the hell would you know?

Just 'cause you wet yourself
over blond bimbos with big mammary glands.

Yola.

Well, go on. This sounds interesting.

Go on. What were you saying, Yola?
Come on.

Yeah, what were you saying?

I was just, um, trying to sort out
some of Bill's sexual problems.

So, Phil, how are you settling in then?

Well, it'll be great once
I unpack everything.

Don't seem to have the time
to get things together.

Tragic, really,
surviving on a junk food diet.

We can't have that, can we?

Listen, why don't you come around
for dinner tonight?

Christina's fiancé's coming.
It'll just be the four of us.

-I think I've got something on.
-Cancel.

-Okay. What time?
-7:30.

I'll be there.

-Looking forward to meeting your fiancé.
-When?

-Tonight. Dinner.
-Dinner tonight.

Right. Dinner. Yeah, Yola's cooking
some of her famous cabbage rolls.

Isn't that right? And what are
those little vine leaves called?

You know, the ones I really like.

Some of those and some tabbouleh
and some hummus and baclava.

Baclava.

-It's gonna be great.
-I'll bring the wine.

-You'd better.
-Good.

Tonight.

-Poor guy.
-Lamb to the slaughter.

Nick, stop.

Look, I didn't know he was gonna turn up.

He was on his way to a gig in Brisbane
and needed a bed overnight.

-So you gave him yours?
-No.

There's nothing between us.

Then why the hell was he all over you
like a rash?

Don't you hug your friends
when you haven't seen them for a while?

-No, I don't.
-Well, girls do, all right?

Look, we played in a band together.
People grow close.

Give me a break, would you?
-You are being really ridiculous.

And what about you?
-What about me?

-You slept with this guy, didn't you?
-What do you think I am?

-Well, if you don't know--
-You know, you amaze me.

Why don't you stop
thinking about yourself?

And what about you?

Who were you thinking about
when you slept with that geek?

Come off it.
-Did you sleep with him or not?

You really want to know?

-Yes or no?
-You really want to know?

-Come on, tell me.
-Yes. Yeah, I slept with him.

Once at his house and once at mine.

You know, it wasn't like us,
but it wasn't terrible either.

It was good.

-You feel better now?
-I'm sorry.

What's wrong with you?

Hey. What's wrong with you? Stupid.

Who told you Miss Milano's leaving?

-Good riddance, I say.
-Drop dead.

-It's all over the school.
-What are we gonna do?

Maybe we should buy her
a present or something.

-What? Try and bribe her into staying?
-We could wrap Mr. North up in ribbons.

Chaka, this is for Miss Milano, not you.

-Hey, are you all right?
-Yeah, he shouldn't have done that.

-Look, it's not that big a deal.
-I think it is. He hit you.

I told him I was with Louis in Melbourne.

I mean, I thought it was over
between Nick and I.

-Is it?
-Well, you saw it. What do you think?

-Anything we can do?
-No. It's between us.

We'll have to work it out.

So, the customs guy says,
"Is there anything in the surfboard?"

Like it's full of drugs or something.
I said, "Just foam."

He says, "Well, you know
we can X-ray it if we want to."

I said, "Well, if you think
it's in that bad a shape,

maybe I should take it to a hospital."

God. Okay, all right.
So what did he do?

Then they strip-searched me.
Sniffer dogs went through everything.

Great. Then they let me go.

You know, somehow the surfie image
doesn't quite fit with being a teacher.

-Marco.
-It's all right. It's a compliment.

Actually, the lifestyles
fit perfectly together, Marco.

Can you spend the whole of January
on an island off Indonesia?

-I don't think I'd want to.
-I wouldn't mind.

Let's go now. Come on.

Anyway, I love teaching.

I just thought someone
like you would find it boring.

Why would he find it boring?

No. I just meant that
he might feel tied down.

Not at all. I mean, there's no way
I could do what you do, Marco.

Rubbing elbows with suits all day.
Living it up with the fat cats.

If it wasn't for the fat cats,
this country would not have a future.

Yeah, right. Okay, well, speaking of
the future, let's have some more wine.

Yes, please.

Well, anyway, I might try out
a few of the beaches in Perth.

Yeah? Well, nice waves in Perth.
Be careful of the sharks, though.

-You going on holidays?
-No. We're moving.

-You guys are just gonna love it.
-Really? You're leaving Hartley High?

Yeah. Marco's just got a promotion.

-Kids aren't gonna be happy.
-Well, there are kids in Perth.

Yeah. They'll have to get used to it
at some stage, anyway.

She's done wonders with those kids.

Excuse me.

-Um… Coffee?
-Sounds good.

What was all that about?

-You.
-Me?

How dare you treat a guest like that?

What are you being
so defensive about him for?

-The guy's a flake.
-A flake?

-He's a loser.
-He's a teacher.

Okay, we'll talk about it in the morning.

No. I think I'd actually like
to be alone tonight.

Yeah? Well, I've got a busy day
tomorrow anyway.

What the hell's going on?
You guys are supposed to be in love.

Look, you heard him.

He doesn't value my career,
which means he doesn't value me.

And good, bad or indifferent,
it's what I am. I'm a teacher.

-Here's to teachers.
-Cheers.

Nick?

Hi.

I brought you this
'cause you didn't have any dinner.

-I thought you might be hungry.
-No, thanks, Stella.

Well, I'll leave it here in case
you get hungry later. All right?

All right. Thanks.

Um…

If ever you want to talk about anything…

Look, Nick, I know I can't cook
like your mum, and I can't replace her.

But I can give you a woman's advice.

Jodie must have done something
pretty awful?

She sleep with someone else?

-Yep.
-Right.

Well, she's back now.
That should tell you something.

Yeah, like what?

Well, wanting to own someone
is the easiest way to drive them away.

Jodie wasn't with you at the time, right?

So why judge her?
I mean, she's still the same girl.

-She hasn't grown horns or something.
-Stella, I hit her. Do you understand?

-You hit her?
-Yeah, I hit her.

-Well, is she all right?
-I think so.

-Well, why don't you go and find out?
-No way. I can't. Not after what I did.

It'll only make it worse if you don't.

I stuffed it right up.

She'll probably never talk to me again.

Come on.

Come on, man. Are you joking?

All right. Will you all read
chapter five by next class, please?

-So what's happening between you and Nick?
-Isn't that our business?

Not when it starts interfering
with school, it isn't.

-Do you know where he is?
-Why are you asking me?

Look, do you know that teachers
are legally bound

to report violence at school?

-Sure.
-Okay. So this is off the record.

-Con has got such a big mouth.
-Look, it wasn't Con.

You know, half a dozen kids saw that.

Would it be such a big deal
if I'd hit him?

Look, I don't care who hit who.
Violence is a big deal.

How often does your mother
get killed in a car crash?

That's not the point.
Now, do you know where I can find him?

I've got a fair idea.

When I first came to this school,
I collected a punch, remember?

-You think I could forget that?
-Well, I don't know.

No, you, me and the other kids,
we made a pact.

No violence, no harassment
and no bullying. You've broken that pact.

Well, I lost it.

Hitting someone weaker than yourself
is the act of a coward, Nick.

-I hit her because I love her.
-Don't you dare say that.

You say that you love someone so it's
okay to bash them? Well, that's crap.

Now you give me one good reason
why I shouldn't report you.

You should be suspended. You know that.

Go on then. Do what you've got to do.
I deserve it.

What are you doing here, anyway, Nick?
You know, you should be at school.

Look, come on, Nick. You've got
to give me something to go on here.

What can I say to her?

You know, you underestimate
that girl enormously, mate.

Hey, Miss?

I heard you were leaving. Why?

That's a good question, Nick.

Chrissy, I think I'm in with a chance.

-What are you talking about?
-Phil. Remember Phil?

Jim, lost your office?

-G'day.
-Hi.

I know principals are always
the last to hear this sort of thing,

but rumor has it you're leaving us.

- Well--
-Of course, I'm very disappointed.

We all are. But I suppose
it's a wonderful opportunity for you.

Perth's a marvelous city.
Great place to bring up a family.

Yeah, I've heard that.

And if you want to go on
with the teaching,

I've got some great contacts there.

Both in the government
and private sectors.

-Well, I certainly plan to keep teaching.
-Well, that's good to hear.

Well, I can't say I'm happy
that you're going.

-Thanks.
-You've been a great inspiration.

No, I mean it. And I appreciate it.

So if you ever want any help,
you just ask, okay?

Yeah, thanks. I will.

Whoa, I hear you're shooting through.

God. I'd hate to try and keep
a secret around here.

Look… I know we've had our differences.

But, I mean, I'm sorry to see you go.

Thanks, Bill.

Anyway, good on you
for getting out of the asylum.

Well, I guess that's the end of soccer.

You wish.

I'm sorry about last night.

I'm a bit edgy about
the new job, I suppose.

-Are you okay, my love?
-Sure.

What are you worried about?
There's schools over there, you know.

Yeah, I know. That's just it.
It's not my school. And it's not my class.

-I've only just started the term here.
-Well, good.

Leave now. They'll get a substitute quick
and the kids won't notice the difference.

Thanks, Marco.

Well, they're gonna have
to get used to it eventually.

Look, I can't go, Marco.
I can't go to Perth.

Look, it's all arranged.
The job, the house.

It's everything I've been working towards.

Yeah, you're right. It's everything
that you've been working towards.

What are you trying to say?

Look, why don't I just stay here,
just till the end of the year?

-What about my job?
-You go.

Well, then what about us?

Look, I'll come over and see you
in the school holidays.

-Do you really want to do this?
-Yeah.

-Well, then what about the wedding?
-Well, maybe we should just postpone it.

No way. I am not telling my parents
that the wedding is off.

Look, I didn't say it's off.

I'm just saying that
maybe we should postpone it.

-And what in the hell does that mean?
-It means just that.

No way. I am not gonna let you do this.
You can't do this to me.

I'm just trying to make it
work out for both of us.

Hey.

You know, I was hurting pretty bad,
but what I did was unforgivable.

And I wouldn't blame you for hating me.

I don't hate you, Nick.

I don't know what came over me, you know.
Just went over the edge.

Yeah, you did.

You know, you really scared me.

I guess I was cruel to you, too.

That doesn't excuse me for what I did.

No, it doesn't.

Do you forgive me?

I'm rapt in you.

-Won't happen again, Miss.
-Yeah. I believe you.

Hey, man. Hey, you guys.

Look, just remember, man.
Act as if you really mean it, all right?

-So I want a lot of silence.
-What a bunch of losers.

Why don't you just shut your mouth?
Otherwise I'll shut it for you.

You've got me scared, Con-Dom.

-She's coming.
-Just shut up, all right?

Shut up and get started.

Excuse me. Am I in the right classroom?

They're a bunch of brown-nosers, Miss.

All right, what's going on?

We're just reading Macbeth, Miss.
Like you told us to.

Sorry we didn't read it
in the holidays, Miss.

-Well, I'm impressed.
-Miss? Are you leaving because of us?

-No. Of course I'm not.
-So why do you want to go to Perth anyway?

Miss, you don't want to go to Perth.
What's at Perth?

Too many wogs at Perth, Miss. Come on.

Miss, we just wanted to say
we like you a lot.

-Yeah, Miss. We think you're great.
-We love you, Miss.

Thanks. They're really beautiful.

Right.

-Phil.
-Yola.

I think you and I should go
and see a film together.

-Which one?
-The French one at the Valhalla.

-I've seen it.
-Right.

Well, how about we go and see
a film of your choice in town?

Well, I'm kind of busy.

Right. What are you trying
to say here, Phil?

-I'll get back to you, okay?
-You do that.

-I will.
-Okay.

-Very nice.
-Yeah. From my Year Elevens.

They're probably stolen.
How about the opera?

Christina?

We have to talk.

Use my office.
-Thanks.

-Um, you should have rung me at home.
-I'm sorry. I was wrong.

Look, can we talk
about this later, please?

Look, I told you, I'm not going to Perth.

Fiji.

What are you talking about?

I talked to the boss.
He gave me two weeks off.

I thought we could go
on a holiday, and then--

And then what?

Can't we just go on this holiday first?

All right, so I go on a holiday
in the middle of term?

Well, my boss has been kind enough to give
me two weeks off. I mean, why not you?

It's always gonna be like this, isn't it?
-Like what?

Like this. We always end up
doing what you want to do.

You never talk it over with me first.

Come on. I'm trying to be reasonable here.

Look, I'm not going to Perth.

And I'm not going on some holiday
just so that you can sweet-talk me.

-My kids, they need me.
-What about me? I thought you loved me.

Marco…

would you give up this promotion for me?

Would you sacrifice everything
that you've ever worked for for me?

Yes, I would.

I love you.

Well, I can't.

I guess that means
that I don't love you enough.

Look, if the idea of Perth
is that bad, just forget it.

-No.
-There'll be other jobs.

Look, it's too late, Marco.
It's just too late, okay?

Are we getting married?

Tell me.

Tell me.

Say it.

I'm really sorry, Marco.

All right, before we start the class,
um, I've got some news.

I'm not going.

All right, act one, scene two.

It's your fault. You shouldn't
have told us you were staying.

-I hear you're staying on.
-Yeah. I guess it's in my blood.

You can help me choose
a play for the troops.

Sure.
-I thought as much.

-Marco.
-You promised me. We were engaged.

You promised me.

-Marco, just stop it, all right?
-Come on, mate.

-I am not your mate.
-Marco, just stop it.

You stay out of my business
and you keep away from my woman.

-Marco.
-I know your game, you sleazebag.

-Marco, stop it.
-You want her, don't you?

-You are being ridiculous.
-I am not being ridiculous.

-Do yourself a favor, Marco.
-I'll do you a favor, mate.

-Marco, leave him alone.
-Get off me.

Don't do it to yourself.

Marco.

I want to tell you
what it was really like in Melbourne.

I've been telling everyone how great
it was. But it's not true. It sucked.

Our manager ripped us off
and our equipment got stolen.

I was broke and I didn't know anyone.
Louis was just…

-It was never like us. Never.
-Look, I love you. Okay?

You know, when your mother died…

I just wanted to come back to Sydney
and hug you and hold you.

-She liked you.
-I liked her.

I wrote a song. About you, about her.

I was gonna sing it to you, but I didn't
think it was a good thing to do.

-Sing it to me now.
-Now?

Sing it.
