Heartbreak High (1994–1999): Season 1, Episode 12 - Episode #1.12 - full transcript
Looking for me?
-No.
I wasn't checking on you.
-Sure.
Are you just coming home?
-Ooh.
-It's 6.30 in the morning.
My God, is it?
I'm sick of you.
-Get off my case.
I'm sick of Mom and Dad hassling me
because you're so bloody perfect!
You're such a suck!
Sister trouble?
-She's such a bitch.
Just because I've got a boyfriend
and she hasn't.
Had another fight with Mom and Dad
last night about Steve.
And she started it. Deliberately.
Well, aren't your parents
used to Steve now?
I mean, you've been going out with him
for 18 months.
That's what worries them.
Morning. Damn!
-Haven't seen that one for a while.
-What's that?
Lugging paperwork around
to create the impression of hard work.
Two out of ten for originality.
You want to swap? Anytime.
Listen, teachers'd queue up
behind your desk for a holiday.
You know, what annoys me is he's right.
Most teachers think
counseling is a pushover.
I don't believe this.
What do you want?
-Can I please speak to Mr. North?
Student for you.
Hi.
What do you want?
I rewrote the stories you liked.
That's all.
That's what you wanted me to do, right?
Sure, okay. Just leave them
with me, all right?
See you.
Look, the truth is that
most families suck. Isn't it?
Leave my family out of it.
Where are you coming from, mate?
Did I mention your family, sweetie…
Listen, we're supposed to be
discussing family, okay?
Not ripping into each other,
you two, all right?
I've got some proof too.
Where do you have most fights?
Here at school? Outside?
No, it's at home, isn't it?
At home, it is.
They're always picking on you,
miss, always.
-Yeah, they're always whinging, right?
-Or they're off their nut.
All right, listen. We can all find
things wrong with our family,
what about the positive stuff? Come on.
Miss. Your family's there
to stick up for you, right?
-Shh. Listen.
-If your own kind aren't gonna
come through for you, who will?
Even if you can't stand them,
even if you hate their guts,
-that's all you've got.
-Listen, I think Nick's got a point.
-You would, wouldn't you?
-If you're going through tough times
then you want your family
to be there, right?
Most of us are just surviving
until we're old enough to split.
-Right? That's it.
-Okay, Con, what are you gonna do,
once you split? Are you gonna get married?
Have a family?
Maybe, I don't know.
-Father of the year, I can see it now?
How many kids?
Okay, what's your family…
Con, what's your family gonna be like?
Don't you worry about my family.
You worry about yourself,
-and I'll worry about myself.
-All right, thanks a lot, Con.
What about you, miss?
Tell us a bit about your family.
Do you really wanna know?
Yeah, I really want to know.
Do you still talk to your mom and dad?
-Yeah, yeah, sometimes.
-Can you tell them everything?
No, not everything.
Do they ever put you down?
See you.
-See you later.
One minute
you're all over him like a rash,
the next minute, nothing. So?
He's a teacher.
Didn't stop you in the first place.
It's different now. We're friends.
You all right?
Go away.
-Danielle, I think it's Nicole.
-Nicole, it's me. Open the door.
Leave me alone.
-What's wrong, Nicole?
Open the door.
What's wrong?
Nothing.
-Tell me. What's wrong?
-Forget it.
-What's wrong?
-Doesn't matter.
-Tell me.
-No.
Tell me why you're crying.
-Forget it, okay.
-Who made you cry?
-It doesn't matter.
-Rack off.
What are you looking at?
Come on, Nicole.
-No.
-Tell me.
Forget it, okay?
Tell me, Nicole, please?
Nicole, please.
-Please…
-I'm pregnant, okay?
How?
-Duh.
All right, forget how.
Was it Jim?
I'm sorry I told you.
It was Jim, wasn't it?
Look, don't be sorry. Lunchtime, right?
Okay, girls, can I have you in class?
Look, I'm not dumping on the kid
but she's only got herself to blame.
Hey, it takes two to tango.
If a girl gets pregnant these days,
what excuse has she got?
Unless you're some guy's sex slave,
there's nothing stopping you from saying,
"Wait, whack this on."
Yeah, but that only lets a guy
right off the hook.
Why should it be up to the girl
to pull out a condom?
Yeah, you're right.
Just keep it.
What's that for?
Well, if anyone sees you talking to me
you can just say you were
getting your book back.
Look, I don't care
what anyone else thinks.
When a guy talks about going out with me
and doesn't do anything about it,
maybe he does care what people think.
Or maybe he's just not interested.
Look, I want to take you out, it's just…
I don't want to make a big deal of it.
Me neither. I'm free tomorrow night.
Okay.
Let me know where you wanna meet.
I just want a cup of coffee!
What's wrong with you?
-Have you just had Year Nine?
-Yes.
-I should have guessed.
-You guys just got to relax. Chill out.
Right, when?
Whenever.
Really, in between marking
and preparing for classes?
There's always time
to look after your body.
Right, so what do you, Mr. Calm?
Surf, dude.
-I can't surf.
-I'll teach you.
I--I'm not a beach person, am I?
Well, look, Friday afternoon after school.
Come down, I'll teach you.
-Free.
-What do you reckon?
- Yeah, I'd love to. Excellent.
. Hold on.
Um, who's got detention Friday?
Friday…
I'm taking it.
-Have a good time.
-Yeah.
-Without me.
-We will.
Women…
You got trashed?
Man, I went over there to ask Danielle
if she wanted to go out tonight, okay?
As soon as I get over there
she tells me to get lost.
They're aliens, man?
There's something
going on down there, mate.
What do you know?
What are you, some
professional lip-reader or something?
I'm no expert, but I know
what they're talking about.
Yeah? What?
Us.
I'm sure.
-How do you know?
-One of those home pregnancy tests?
-No, I went to a doctor.
-Our doctor?
-I'm not stupid.
-No, you're pregnant.
-Danielle, be a bit sensitive.
I went to a clinic in town.
There's no mistake.
I don't believe you, you know.
You only went with Jim to get up me!
-Yeah, thanks a lot.
-What are you gonna do?
I don't know.
You know, you're gonna have
to tell your parents.
I can't. They'd die.
-What are you gonna do then?
-I'm 15, I can't have a baby.
Mom and Dad would never
let you have an abortion, you know.
-How are they going to know?
-Because you're going to tell them!
-No way, and you're not either.
-Look, guys, there's no use shouting.
Why don't you speak to Yola about it?
She's cool.
But the first thing
she'll do is ring Mom and Dad.
-And so she should.
-She can't. That's the law.
She's not allowed. Whatever you tell her,
she's not allowed to tell anyone.
-It's like a priest, you know?
-Stay out of it, Rose.
I don't know.
-At least talk to her first.
Watch where you're going.
Take it easy.
The Childcare and Development.
Give me those.
-A pregnancy book.
What, didn't Steve teach you about
the birds and the bees?
You're a dickhead.
How you doing, mate?
Yes.
Hey… Nick, have you ever, sort of like,
got a chick in trouble?
-Yes.
-Yes?
What? What are you talking about?
I mean, have you got a chick pregnant?
No way, man.
What sort of question is that?
Hang on, has someone been
saying something to you?
No, look…
No one said anything,
I'm just asking a question, right?
Well…
as far as I know, no.
Fair enough, okay.
What, are you trying
to say something here?
Me?
No way, mate. They wish.
Poor guy?
Bet you he doesn't even know.
I wouldn't be the one
to tell him, mate, no way.
What?
Steve, man.
Steve?
You know, Danni…
she could be pregnant.
-Get out of here.
-She could be pregnant.
I can't believe
I'm going to the beach with him.
I can't believe I have two
10:30 appointments. It's impossible.
Aw, I don't even have a swimming costume.
Do you have a swimming costume
I could borrow?
Would you call going to the beach a date?
That's what it is.
Deloraine's dumped on me.
You know, perhaps this is a date.
-Would you do me a favor?
Keep your sex life out of my diary?
Look, who said anything about sex?
What are you planning to do with him?
Swap stamps?
Hey, whatever happened
to privacy?
Why aren't you dressed?
I haven't finished throwing up yet.
Mom caught me.
What did you tell Mom?
What do you think?
-I said I had the flu.
-Are you going to school?
Of course I'm going to school.
You think I want Mom
dragging me off to the doctor's?
Are you gonna talk to Yola?
-Are you?
-I don't know.
Look, I've really been thinking
about this.
-You've got to tell Mom and Dad.
-You are joking.
This is serious.
They're all for you. They'll understand.
Look, I can't. I won't. Okay?
Come on, Nicky.
I don't like to see you this way.
I'll go to Mom and Dad with you.
-It won't be so bad.
-Look, you can't make me.
I just want all of this to go away.
Look! You've got to talk to someone.
I'll talk to Yola, okay?
Will you leave me alone then?
Hi.
-Hi.
I was gonna come around last night,
but I thought it must be crazy,
I'd only make things worse.
You heard?
-It's true?
-Yep.
Danni, why didn't you tell me?
-Because I wanted to handle it myself.
-You don't have to handle it yourself.
-We'll go through this together.
-That's really sweet of you, Steve.
You know, a lot of guys
wouldn't wanna know.
I stand by my responsibilities,
and if it's yours, you have to.
Yours? Mine?
Yeah, look,
if you need anything, all right?
For something, okay, anything… Money?
Who told you I was pregnant?
Who told me? The other guys told me.
Just great.
-What?
-Just stay away from me, Steve.
-Look, I'm doing the right thing here.
I'm not the one who went
and got herself pregnant, am I?
My sister is the one
who's having a child, not me.
Here you go.
-Thanks.
So, Nicole, what's scaring you the most?
-Everything.
That Mom and Dad will find out,
and I'll have to go
to a clinic and, you know…
Are you okay?
Do you think it would be a good idea
to tell your parents?
-No!
-Hang on, I've met your mom and dad,
they're okay. I mean, they're gonna yell
at you a bit and stuff like that.
-They're gonna ask you how it happened.
-Yeah.
But I think once you tell them,
they'll deal with it, okay?
I can't. I just… I just want this
whole thing to go away.
Well, you know that's not gonna happen.
Yeah.
Look, what I think we should do…
I think you should tell your parents.
Partly because you're only 15,
and if you were 16,
-it would be a different situation…
-I can't!
I don't think you should
go through this on your own.
This is-- This is a very big thing, okay?
I mean, you can come
and see me anytime, that's fine.
But I just want you to think
about this seriously.
All right.
How do you want to handle this?
-Well, do you wanna help me?
-Of course I do.
Well, do you think
you could tell me what I should do?
Okay, you have options.
You can either keep the baby
or you can have a termination.
But what should I do?
I can't advise you to do one or the other.
-Then what was the point of coming here?
-Nicole, this has to be your decision
and the best people to make it with
are your mom and dad.
-No!
-Well, come on, please, sit down.
-Do you want me to ring them?
-No, don't you dare.
Look, when you sat down I said
I wouldn't betray your confidence.
Trust me on that.
No.
It was an honest mistake, all right?
-Yeah,
I suppose you've told
the whole world by now?
Look, I've got more sense
to know better, okay?
No one's said anything to anyone, okay?
Not from this side anyway.
Don't you dare say anything, all right?
Don't start.
I don't want to hear your voice,
I don't want to know about it, all right?
Now, unless one of you chicks
have been talking, nobody knows.
Yeah, well, it's not going to stay
a secret for long, is it?
Listen, Danni, we're your mates, okay?
We're here for you.
Yeah, we can help.
-How?
I don't know...
Who's the father?
It's not Jim, is it?
It is.
Okay, all right.
If he's not gonna face up
to his responsibilities,
I can make him change his mind,
quick smart.
What are you going to do? Bash him up?
We'll make him an offer he can't refuse.
Nicole doesn't love him.
She doesn't even like him.
Danni, he's the father, for God's sake,
he's got to do--
So what, Steve? So what?
What's he supposed to do? Marry her?
Maybe, that's another possibility. Yeah.
Well, tell me this, genius,
how's marrying someone you don't like
going to do anything for the kid?
Excuse me, miss, can I have a word?
Not now, Danielle, I'm late for a class,
one you're late for too.
-What did you tell Nicole?
-I can't discuss that with you.
-She's my sister.
-It doesn't matter.
All my cases are confidential.
You told her to have an abortion,
didn't you, miss?
Look, what we discussed is between Nicole
and me, I think you should respect that.
-But you made her feel like it's okay--
-I don't want to talk about it!
All right… I'm sorry.
I'm sorry I'm late.
All right. All right.
All right, everyone.
All right, let's…
Now let's pick up
where we left off last time.
How to survive your family.
Let's talk about managing space.
How do you buy a little bit of privacy
without going to war
-with the rest of the family?
-Go to prison, miss.
Thank you.
-You'd know all about that, Rivers.
Anyone?
Is there something in particular
you want to talk about?
Miss?
You know how we were
talking about communication before?
Yeah.
What if there was something
you can't talk to your parents about?
What are we talking about here?
Major crime?
Hey, Dad! About that bank
that got rolled last week…
How did I get the Porsche,
mobile phone, pager?
I saved up for it, Mom.
Suppose I was pregnant?
Suppose I was pregnant, miss.
What's the question, Danielle?
Suppose I couldn't tell my parents.
-Why not?
-I was scared.
Do you wanna keep the baby?
Suppose I did.
Well, then, your parents will have to
find out sooner or later, wouldn't they?
Suppose I didn't want to keep the kid?
Well, that's one of the hardest decisions
any woman may have to make.
This is crap, man.
I'll tell you what I'd do
if I was pregnant.
I am very interested. What would you do
if you found out you're pregnant?
I'd spit all over you.
-This isn't a joke!
I'm not laughing, sweetheart.
It's being scared
that's wrong, right? Okay?
You do it, you wear it. Okay?
Your parents are gonna do nothing, man,
they're not gonna kill you for it.
What if it was your daughter, Con,
what would you do?
All right. I think we're
getting a little bit off the track here.
Chaka's question was about communication.
You didn't answer my question.
If I came to you for advice
what would it be?
What do you wanna hear, Danielle?
Do you want someone like me to take away
the responsibility for the situation?
Because I'm sorry, it can't be done.
Miss, what if it was you?
At, um... At my age…
with my career, I'd have a termination.
-I can't believe you.
-That's my personal circumstance.
Not my advice to you.
Danielle, sit down.
Would you please sit down, Danielle?
Hey, you're in trouble.
Will you… Don't.
-You're in trouble.
-Yes, you are. You're in trouble.
-Don't push your luck with me, Rivers.
You were giving Con
a pretty hard time in class.
Ooh, jealous?
Look, it was just a discussion,
I would have asked you the same.
Well, why didn't you?
Because I didn't want the others to think
I'd pick you.
-Hi, Jack.
-Hi.
This is stupid.
How do you think I feel?
If we want to go out,
it's our business, right?
Your mates'll give you a hard time, Peter.
Do you reckon we should call off tonight?
I'll cancel the reservations.
-What reservation?
-Corleone's. I've booked it for tonight.
I can't afford to eat
at a place like that.
You don't have to. I'm paying.
I wasn't gonna spring it on you,
I know you have to dress up
for a place like that.
You sure you wanna do this?
Yeah. About 6:30?
Cool. Hi, Rose.
What would you know?
-Get stuffed!
Check out these skegs, man.
What a bunch of rejects.
Why, you ever tried it?
Me? No way, mate. I've got better things
to do than walk on water, mate.
A guy could get religious
doing that sort of stuff.
Check out Berasgo, man.
Look at him, what a sad case.
Is there something bugging you?
Yeah, your shorts.
I thought we came down here to swim.
Yeah, let's go.
What's wrong with my shorts, man?
Aah!
Two worlds collide
Show me the other side
I can't pretend
This is the end
You know we've had it through
You know what you must do
You know it's taking time...
Hi.
Thanks.
You look… fantastic.
You look nice too, Peter.
Let's go?
Well, do we just go in or what?
Dunno. Wait, I guess.
Yes.
Yeah. Rivers, mate. I've got a booking.
You have a reservation.
Yeah.
I see you.
Signor, signorina, this way.
Excuse me.
Signorina.
Would you care for drinks before dinner?
Yeah. Juice, thanks, mate.
Juice?
Orange juice.
Signorina?
Dry martini.
Si.
Signor will want the wine list?
Yeah, thanks, mate.
It's lovely.
Yeah. Tucker should be all right tonight.
I'll be back.
-Okay.
The wine list, signor.
Thanks, mate.
She said she would.
Well, Yola's pretty cool
about stuff like that, you know?
Sure.
She'll probably tell her
how to get an abortion.
Is that what Nicole wants?
She won't even talk about it.
Danni, if you need anything,
I'm right here, all right? Okay?
You mean money.
If an abortion's gonna cost money.
Well, yeah. That's right.
What if it was us?
It's not us, is it, okay?
But what if it was? What would we do?
I don't know, Danni. I guess I'd be
with you all the way.
I'd even take you to the clinic,
if that's what
you wanted me to do, all right?
Is that where you'd want me to go?
I'd want whatever you wanted.
Suppose I said I was keeping the baby.
Sooner or later here I'm just gonna
give you the wrong answer.
-I don't want to do that.
-It was a real question, Steve.
I'm not trying to trap you.
What does it matter? You're not the one
who's pregnant, are you? Okay?
I'd have the baby.
I couldn't go through with an abortion.
Okay, sure.
And I won't let Nicole
go through with it either.
Fine.
What are you having?
I'm not sure yet. What are you having?
May I suggest an entrée?
No, I think we'll just stick to mains,
thanks, mate.
Um, what's the g-nocchi?
Gnocchi are small potato dumplings.
I'm afraid we don't do french fries.
I didn't ask for chips, did I, mate?
I'll have the chicken and the salad.
Pollo ripieno al forno and salad.
Signor?
Yeah, um…
Yeah, I'll have that one.
And your choice of wine?
-No, no, I don't drink.
And you can take that back.
I don't like the taste of it.
That guy's really getting up my nose.
That's cool.
He has an attitude. That's all.
How did you know
which one was the chicken?
I didn't.
There's always chicken
somewhere on the menu.
-Are you sure you're having a good time?
-Yeah, it's great.
Let's just… relax.
It's all right. I'm relaxed. I'm relaxed.
Dad's going out.
You could talk to Mom.
-Stop it!
What did Yola tell you to do?
What did she tell you to do?
Did she give an address of a clinic?
Tell you how to get rid of it?
Look, I told you because I thought
you would be on my side.
But you want me to go through
with it, don't you?
You want me to have it.
-It's your baby.
-It's my choice.
You can't have an abortion,
you can't go through with it!
It's my life, Danielle,
and you're trying to ruin it.
It doesn't have to be like that.
I'll be there for you.
You don't even know
whether it's a boy or girl.
How can you stop something like that
coming into the world?
Twenty minutes.
They look pretty busy.
You wouldn't have to wait this long
at Ruby's on a Saturday night, would you?
No, I'm sorry I ordered the martini,
I didn't realize the cost.
Look, I don't care. I want you to order
anything you want, okay?
If it ever gets here.
Look, I'm gonna complain.
Wait, I think that's ours.
About bloody time.
Pollo ripieno al forno.
And melanzane alla parmigiana.
-Buon appetito.
-That's not what I ordered, mate.
That is exactly what you ordered.
No, I ordered the steak.
You pointed at the menu.
This was the dish you chose.
If you wanted bistecca alla napoletana,
you should have said so.
That's okay, Peter, you can have mine.
No way. Look, this place
is a big enough rip-off
without having to pay
for something I don't want.
Signor. This restaurant has a policy.
If the quality of the meal
is unsatisfactory
we will replace it with our apologies.
This has never been necessary.
Well, there's a first time for everything.
Take it back.
Peter.
-Stay out of this!
You can send the dish back if you want
but you will, of course, pay for it.
I'm not gonna eat this vomit.
It stinks and I'm bloody well
not gonna pay for it.
There is nothing wrong with your meal!
If and your little friend think
you can wriggle out of paying for--
No, okay, okay, okay, okay.
I'll pay for it.
I reckon this meal's got
a real problem now, don't you?
Chaka!
Why don't you follow her example.
Go back where you came from, little boy.
Hey, mate,
you just trashed my whole night,
and I reckon
I might as well get my money's worth.
Did,
did you get home all right last night?
I know I should have followed you
instead of hitting that guy, I'm sorry.
-You hit the waiter?
-Yeah.
Then the chef came out.
He was about eight-feet high
and built like a brick dunny.
I think he was more cheesed off
about seeing his food on the table
than he was about the waiter.
Anyway, he gave me a hiding
and chucked me out the back door.
-Is that how you hurt your head?
-No, that was when I hit the bins.
It wasn't that funny at the time.
-I'm sorry, it's just…
it's just the look on that guy's face when
you spilled the eggplant on the table.
So you're not mad at me?
Yeah, I'm mad at you.
You took us to a place where everything
was gonna freak us out,
and you lost your temper,
and then you started
punching up the staff.
You really know how to show a girl
a good time, Peter.
Can we get it right next time, please?
-Next time?
-It's up to you.
Tonight?
Okay.
Cool.
But nothing fancy, all right?
No restaurants or anything, just…
somewhere we can spend some time together.
Somewhere quiet.
Yes?
Mr. Miller's coming in.
Apparently young Nicole is pregnant.
I'm glad she had the courage to tell them.
So you did know then?
Yep, I did advised her
to tell her parents.
Yola, that's not the spin
Mr. Miller's putting on it.
He's claiming you're advising her
to have an abortion.
Well, that's not true.
I just told her what her options were.
-Including an abortion?
-Yes, of course.
Makes a joke
out of our safe sex program, doesn't it?
-That's not very funny.
-It's not meant to be.
-You've gone out on a limb this time.
-I don't think so.
What exactly did you say?
Look, that's confidential.
I'm not about to discuss it.
Fine. Maybe you'll discuss it
with Mr. Miller when he comes in.
So, Danni, is it true then?
It's true. Mom and Dad hit the roof.
What, did Nicole tell them?
-No.
She didn't tell them.
They just fronted her
about it this morning.
So who lagged?
I don't know.
It's a pretty bloody low act,
whoever did it anyway.
Yeah, the lowest.
You don't reckon it was Yola?
-I don't know.
Had to be Yola, man.
She was the only one
that knew, man, right?
Well, do you want me to fix it up for you?
-Who knows, man, you can't put the blame--
-You can't fix something like that up.
Mr. Miller.
Please, come in.
I'm sorry to keep you waiting.
Sit down.
Um…
I understand how upset you and your wife
must be about this.
Do you?
-The principal thought it would be--
Excuse me.
A good idea that, um, I talk to you,
seeing as Nicole has chosen
to confide in me.
You admit that, do you?
Why should I deny it, it's part of my job.
You didn't try to contact
me or my wife about it,
you didn't phone, you didn't do anything,
have I got that right?
Nicole came to me in absolute confidence.
-She trusts me.
-She's underage.
She's pregnant.
Who do you think you are?
Mr. Miller, I advised Nicole
to tell you that she was pregnant.
Well, she didn't.
She wasn't going to tell us either.
She wants an abortion and she was
counting on you to tell her how to do it.
Right, now, now, hang on just a minute.
I mean, if Nicole told you that
then she is mistaken.
I made no such promise.
What? You never talked about abortion?
No, we mentioned it as an option,
just as we mentioned, um,
keeping the baby or having it adopted.
Nicole has a decision to make
and I wanted her to be responsible for it.
She's 15!
She's my daughter!
What's it got to do with you?
I'm-- I'm her teacher.
I'm-- I'm sorry, but it's not my fault
that she came to me and not to you.
How old are you?
I'm 30.
Got any kids?
No, no, I don't.
What's your tally for this year?
I'm sorry, I don't know what you mean.
Well, how many girls
are running around this school
at 14 or 15 who've had an abortion
without their parents knowing about it?
Just your little secret, is it?
I really think
we should talk about Nicole here.
No, there's no point in us
talking about anything.
I'm gonna have your job.
I'm gonna sue you. You're finished.
Mr. Miller, could we just talk
about this calmly?
Just one thing I'd like to ask.
When Nicole goes out of the gate at 3:30,
how do you know
what's going on in my little kid's head?
Who's gonna help her?
You're placing my daughter
in a life or death situation.
Our baby could have done anything.
She could have killed herself.
And because you didn't tell us,
we didn't know. Will you think about that?
For the next few years
when you're unemployed!
Rose?
You had an appointment with me
this morning, why didn't you keep it?
-Didn't think I had to.
-I thought you wanted to talk.
It's okay.
That's weird because three other kids
didn't turn up either. What's going on?
I don't know, miss.
All right.
Hi, Con.
-Yeah.
Hi, Nick.
How did it go with the father?
Ugly, but I'll live.
-How are you feeling?
-I feel like a leper.
I don't know who told the Millers,
but the kids have
made up their mind it was me.
Come on, it only happened
a couple of hours ago.
I had a morning packed full of interviews.
Nobody turned up.
Every counselor's dream.
An empty office and all the time
in the world to catch up.
Look, it won't last.
-You know the kids.
-Yeah, yeah. I know the kids.
The kids can go to hell.
I'm going home to soak,
and then I'm going to have myself
one hell of a night out with Richard.
Let the ungrateful little creeps
take their problems to someone else.
Listen,
I'm glad that the Millers found out,
it's what I hoped would happen. It's just
that I wanted Nicole to tell them herself.
Yeah.
-Hey! Take care of yourself.
-Thanks.
Ooh, maybe I should have brought
a metal detector.
It's not my car, it's my brother's.
-You've got a brother?
-Yeah.
I didn't know.
Yeah, he's a footballer. Played six weeks
last year with a fractured wrist.
Tough guy.
Yeah, Dad's into motivation, you know,
beat the pain barrier.
Nice guys come last.
No one remembers someone
who comes second?
That's for sure.
You don't have to compete
with anyone tonight. I promise.
-Did you plan for this?
-What?
-Condoms.
-Yeah, I should have one.
-Peter.
-Sure I had one.
It's all right, I'll be careful.
I'm sorry, Peter.
I wanna have safe sex.
I wouldn't want to go through
what Nicole's going through.
Yeah, sure.
It's not just about getting pregnant.
Don't take it personal.
Look, why don't you just drive me home?
Yeah, not a problem.
Hi.
-Hi.
You look great.
-Thanks.
Very nice.
You know wine?
My father's Italian,
so you grow up with it.
-Hi, Phil.
-Hi, Yola. How are you doing?
Are you joining us?
-No. I've got a date.
Right. So Richard phoned back.
No, he didn't, but I left three messages,
bound to get one of them.
I've got to go and see the kids first,
they're driving me crazy.
Um… Have a good time.
Thanks.
-Thanks.
See you.
-See you.
So…
So…
Why don't you open the wine
and make yourself at home.
-Cool.
-I'll finish the cooking bit.
You really do look great.
Thanks, so do you.
Look, we saw the car.
Nick, didn't we see the car?
So what?
Parked right outside the flat.
-Yeah!
-So what do you guys reckon?
You reckon they're on together?
-I reckon he's doing Miss Fatoush.
Yeah!
Who says he's on with anyone?
I mean, having dinner together
doesn't mean anything.
-Well, it is if you stay till breakfast.
-That's right.
So how would you know
if he was sleeping with her?
I just don't think he is, that's all.
Who cares anyway?
It's none of our business.
Like, what does he do?
Ask your permission?
I know him, that's all.
-You know him.
-We've talked.
Sure, a teacher's going to spill
his sex life out to some kid from Year 11.
I know things about him nobody knows.
Yeah, like what, Rose?
Give us the goss?
Just things.
Total fantasy.
Hey. Hey! Look who's just walked in.
She's got a nerve coming in, hasn't she?
Okay.
I can't take this any longer,
so I wanna know what's going on.
Do I need a shower or something?
Yeah, why don't you go away and have one?
-What's your problem?
-As if you don't know what her problem is.
Well, spell it out for me
'cause I'm stupid.
Yeah, okay.
N-I-C-O-L-E.
Why did you tell Nicole's parents
she was pregnant?
Yeah, she came to you in confidence,
miss, then you put her in.
If I said I didn't, would you believe me?
-No, we wouldn't.
Because you're a spy
and you're not in school now,
so why don't you just cut the crap, miss?
If you didn't tell her, who did?
-I don't know.
You expect us to believe that?
Well, that's how much you know me.
My loyalty is with you guys.
There is no way I would tell
Nicole's parents without her consent.
Or at the very least,
letting her know I was gonna do it.
I'd rather quit than do that.
So ask Nicole
before you go around making accusations.
Why don't you just quit anyway?
A week ago you were saying she was cool.
Yeah, we all thought
we could go into her office
and spill our guts.
Look what she did to Nicole, man.
-Shut up!
-What's your problem?
-Just leave her out of it.
-You're not sticking up for her, are you?
She wasn't the one
who told my parents about Nicole.
I did.
Hi, miss.
You're early.
Had a blue with the oldies.
Things are pretty tough at home
at the moment?
Miss…
I'm sorry.
What about?
I'm sorry…
I was the one who told my parents
about Nicole.
Miss, I thought I was
doing the right thing.
And I'm sorry about Dad going off.
How's Nicole?
They're letting her have
an abortion, miss.
After all the years of telling us
it was wrong.
And how do you feel about it?
I'm just confused.
I thought I was doing
the right thing and Nicole…
she hates me, and Mom,
she won't even look at me.
It sounds like things have
worked out the way Nicole wanted them to.
I still think she's gonna need
all the support her big sister can give.
Yeah, I guess.
Thanks, miss.
Chaka!
Do you want the whole school
talking about us?
-Maybe I don't care.
-Maybe there's nothing to talk about.
Are you gonna give me a chance?
Look, I behaved
like a little kid last night.
You were right.
-I made you feel bad. I'm sorry.
-I can't believe you didn't have a condom.
Well,
I didn't know I was gonna need one.
If a guy goes out
with a pocketful of condoms,
what's a girl gonna think?
That he's taking her for granted.
And if the girl's got a condom
in her pocket, what's a guy gonna think?
That she's cheap.
I can't believe
I'm talking about this with a girl.
-Well, at least we can talk.
-Yeah.
Do you want to go out again tonight?
Can you borrow your brother's car?
I'll steal it if I have to.
Third time lucky.
Yeah.
Well, the same thought crossed my mind.
Yeah!
Miss Fatoush?
Can I see you for a second, please?
What do you want, Nick?
I've got some really bad problems, miss.
I'm sorry to hear that.
What's the problem?
It's much too embarrassing, miss.
Can I tell you in private, please?
Let me guess, Con,
you've got problems, too?
It's stress, miss.
Miss, somebody said that word "exams,"
I don't know, miss,
I get really sick in the stomach.
Well, um, listen, why don't you
make an appointment?
Yes, miss.
-All of you.
Woo!
Our world
Two worlds collide
Show me
The other side
I can't pretend
Is this the end
You know
We've had it through
You know what you must do
You know it's taking time
You know that you'll be mine
-No.
I wasn't checking on you.
-Sure.
Are you just coming home?
-Ooh.
-It's 6.30 in the morning.
My God, is it?
I'm sick of you.
-Get off my case.
I'm sick of Mom and Dad hassling me
because you're so bloody perfect!
You're such a suck!
Sister trouble?
-She's such a bitch.
Just because I've got a boyfriend
and she hasn't.
Had another fight with Mom and Dad
last night about Steve.
And she started it. Deliberately.
Well, aren't your parents
used to Steve now?
I mean, you've been going out with him
for 18 months.
That's what worries them.
Morning. Damn!
-Haven't seen that one for a while.
-What's that?
Lugging paperwork around
to create the impression of hard work.
Two out of ten for originality.
You want to swap? Anytime.
Listen, teachers'd queue up
behind your desk for a holiday.
You know, what annoys me is he's right.
Most teachers think
counseling is a pushover.
I don't believe this.
What do you want?
-Can I please speak to Mr. North?
Student for you.
Hi.
What do you want?
I rewrote the stories you liked.
That's all.
That's what you wanted me to do, right?
Sure, okay. Just leave them
with me, all right?
See you.
Look, the truth is that
most families suck. Isn't it?
Leave my family out of it.
Where are you coming from, mate?
Did I mention your family, sweetie…
Listen, we're supposed to be
discussing family, okay?
Not ripping into each other,
you two, all right?
I've got some proof too.
Where do you have most fights?
Here at school? Outside?
No, it's at home, isn't it?
At home, it is.
They're always picking on you,
miss, always.
-Yeah, they're always whinging, right?
-Or they're off their nut.
All right, listen. We can all find
things wrong with our family,
what about the positive stuff? Come on.
Miss. Your family's there
to stick up for you, right?
-Shh. Listen.
-If your own kind aren't gonna
come through for you, who will?
Even if you can't stand them,
even if you hate their guts,
-that's all you've got.
-Listen, I think Nick's got a point.
-You would, wouldn't you?
-If you're going through tough times
then you want your family
to be there, right?
Most of us are just surviving
until we're old enough to split.
-Right? That's it.
-Okay, Con, what are you gonna do,
once you split? Are you gonna get married?
Have a family?
Maybe, I don't know.
-Father of the year, I can see it now?
How many kids?
Okay, what's your family…
Con, what's your family gonna be like?
Don't you worry about my family.
You worry about yourself,
-and I'll worry about myself.
-All right, thanks a lot, Con.
What about you, miss?
Tell us a bit about your family.
Do you really wanna know?
Yeah, I really want to know.
Do you still talk to your mom and dad?
-Yeah, yeah, sometimes.
-Can you tell them everything?
No, not everything.
Do they ever put you down?
See you.
-See you later.
One minute
you're all over him like a rash,
the next minute, nothing. So?
He's a teacher.
Didn't stop you in the first place.
It's different now. We're friends.
You all right?
Go away.
-Danielle, I think it's Nicole.
-Nicole, it's me. Open the door.
Leave me alone.
-What's wrong, Nicole?
Open the door.
What's wrong?
Nothing.
-Tell me. What's wrong?
-Forget it.
-What's wrong?
-Doesn't matter.
-Tell me.
-No.
Tell me why you're crying.
-Forget it, okay.
-Who made you cry?
-It doesn't matter.
-Rack off.
What are you looking at?
Come on, Nicole.
-No.
-Tell me.
Forget it, okay?
Tell me, Nicole, please?
Nicole, please.
-Please…
-I'm pregnant, okay?
How?
-Duh.
All right, forget how.
Was it Jim?
I'm sorry I told you.
It was Jim, wasn't it?
Look, don't be sorry. Lunchtime, right?
Okay, girls, can I have you in class?
Look, I'm not dumping on the kid
but she's only got herself to blame.
Hey, it takes two to tango.
If a girl gets pregnant these days,
what excuse has she got?
Unless you're some guy's sex slave,
there's nothing stopping you from saying,
"Wait, whack this on."
Yeah, but that only lets a guy
right off the hook.
Why should it be up to the girl
to pull out a condom?
Yeah, you're right.
Just keep it.
What's that for?
Well, if anyone sees you talking to me
you can just say you were
getting your book back.
Look, I don't care
what anyone else thinks.
When a guy talks about going out with me
and doesn't do anything about it,
maybe he does care what people think.
Or maybe he's just not interested.
Look, I want to take you out, it's just…
I don't want to make a big deal of it.
Me neither. I'm free tomorrow night.
Okay.
Let me know where you wanna meet.
I just want a cup of coffee!
What's wrong with you?
-Have you just had Year Nine?
-Yes.
-I should have guessed.
-You guys just got to relax. Chill out.
Right, when?
Whenever.
Really, in between marking
and preparing for classes?
There's always time
to look after your body.
Right, so what do you, Mr. Calm?
Surf, dude.
-I can't surf.
-I'll teach you.
I--I'm not a beach person, am I?
Well, look, Friday afternoon after school.
Come down, I'll teach you.
-Free.
-What do you reckon?
- Yeah, I'd love to. Excellent.
. Hold on.
Um, who's got detention Friday?
Friday…
I'm taking it.
-Have a good time.
-Yeah.
-Without me.
-We will.
Women…
You got trashed?
Man, I went over there to ask Danielle
if she wanted to go out tonight, okay?
As soon as I get over there
she tells me to get lost.
They're aliens, man?
There's something
going on down there, mate.
What do you know?
What are you, some
professional lip-reader or something?
I'm no expert, but I know
what they're talking about.
Yeah? What?
Us.
I'm sure.
-How do you know?
-One of those home pregnancy tests?
-No, I went to a doctor.
-Our doctor?
-I'm not stupid.
-No, you're pregnant.
-Danielle, be a bit sensitive.
I went to a clinic in town.
There's no mistake.
I don't believe you, you know.
You only went with Jim to get up me!
-Yeah, thanks a lot.
-What are you gonna do?
I don't know.
You know, you're gonna have
to tell your parents.
I can't. They'd die.
-What are you gonna do then?
-I'm 15, I can't have a baby.
Mom and Dad would never
let you have an abortion, you know.
-How are they going to know?
-Because you're going to tell them!
-No way, and you're not either.
-Look, guys, there's no use shouting.
Why don't you speak to Yola about it?
She's cool.
But the first thing
she'll do is ring Mom and Dad.
-And so she should.
-She can't. That's the law.
She's not allowed. Whatever you tell her,
she's not allowed to tell anyone.
-It's like a priest, you know?
-Stay out of it, Rose.
I don't know.
-At least talk to her first.
Watch where you're going.
Take it easy.
The Childcare and Development.
Give me those.
-A pregnancy book.
What, didn't Steve teach you about
the birds and the bees?
You're a dickhead.
How you doing, mate?
Yes.
Hey… Nick, have you ever, sort of like,
got a chick in trouble?
-Yes.
-Yes?
What? What are you talking about?
I mean, have you got a chick pregnant?
No way, man.
What sort of question is that?
Hang on, has someone been
saying something to you?
No, look…
No one said anything,
I'm just asking a question, right?
Well…
as far as I know, no.
Fair enough, okay.
What, are you trying
to say something here?
Me?
No way, mate. They wish.
Poor guy?
Bet you he doesn't even know.
I wouldn't be the one
to tell him, mate, no way.
What?
Steve, man.
Steve?
You know, Danni…
she could be pregnant.
-Get out of here.
-She could be pregnant.
I can't believe
I'm going to the beach with him.
I can't believe I have two
10:30 appointments. It's impossible.
Aw, I don't even have a swimming costume.
Do you have a swimming costume
I could borrow?
Would you call going to the beach a date?
That's what it is.
Deloraine's dumped on me.
You know, perhaps this is a date.
-Would you do me a favor?
Keep your sex life out of my diary?
Look, who said anything about sex?
What are you planning to do with him?
Swap stamps?
Hey, whatever happened
to privacy?
Why aren't you dressed?
I haven't finished throwing up yet.
Mom caught me.
What did you tell Mom?
What do you think?
-I said I had the flu.
-Are you going to school?
Of course I'm going to school.
You think I want Mom
dragging me off to the doctor's?
Are you gonna talk to Yola?
-Are you?
-I don't know.
Look, I've really been thinking
about this.
-You've got to tell Mom and Dad.
-You are joking.
This is serious.
They're all for you. They'll understand.
Look, I can't. I won't. Okay?
Come on, Nicky.
I don't like to see you this way.
I'll go to Mom and Dad with you.
-It won't be so bad.
-Look, you can't make me.
I just want all of this to go away.
Look! You've got to talk to someone.
I'll talk to Yola, okay?
Will you leave me alone then?
Hi.
-Hi.
I was gonna come around last night,
but I thought it must be crazy,
I'd only make things worse.
You heard?
-It's true?
-Yep.
Danni, why didn't you tell me?
-Because I wanted to handle it myself.
-You don't have to handle it yourself.
-We'll go through this together.
-That's really sweet of you, Steve.
You know, a lot of guys
wouldn't wanna know.
I stand by my responsibilities,
and if it's yours, you have to.
Yours? Mine?
Yeah, look,
if you need anything, all right?
For something, okay, anything… Money?
Who told you I was pregnant?
Who told me? The other guys told me.
Just great.
-What?
-Just stay away from me, Steve.
-Look, I'm doing the right thing here.
I'm not the one who went
and got herself pregnant, am I?
My sister is the one
who's having a child, not me.
Here you go.
-Thanks.
So, Nicole, what's scaring you the most?
-Everything.
That Mom and Dad will find out,
and I'll have to go
to a clinic and, you know…
Are you okay?
Do you think it would be a good idea
to tell your parents?
-No!
-Hang on, I've met your mom and dad,
they're okay. I mean, they're gonna yell
at you a bit and stuff like that.
-They're gonna ask you how it happened.
-Yeah.
But I think once you tell them,
they'll deal with it, okay?
I can't. I just… I just want this
whole thing to go away.
Well, you know that's not gonna happen.
Yeah.
Look, what I think we should do…
I think you should tell your parents.
Partly because you're only 15,
and if you were 16,
-it would be a different situation…
-I can't!
I don't think you should
go through this on your own.
This is-- This is a very big thing, okay?
I mean, you can come
and see me anytime, that's fine.
But I just want you to think
about this seriously.
All right.
How do you want to handle this?
-Well, do you wanna help me?
-Of course I do.
Well, do you think
you could tell me what I should do?
Okay, you have options.
You can either keep the baby
or you can have a termination.
But what should I do?
I can't advise you to do one or the other.
-Then what was the point of coming here?
-Nicole, this has to be your decision
and the best people to make it with
are your mom and dad.
-No!
-Well, come on, please, sit down.
-Do you want me to ring them?
-No, don't you dare.
Look, when you sat down I said
I wouldn't betray your confidence.
Trust me on that.
No.
It was an honest mistake, all right?
-Yeah,
I suppose you've told
the whole world by now?
Look, I've got more sense
to know better, okay?
No one's said anything to anyone, okay?
Not from this side anyway.
Don't you dare say anything, all right?
Don't start.
I don't want to hear your voice,
I don't want to know about it, all right?
Now, unless one of you chicks
have been talking, nobody knows.
Yeah, well, it's not going to stay
a secret for long, is it?
Listen, Danni, we're your mates, okay?
We're here for you.
Yeah, we can help.
-How?
I don't know...
Who's the father?
It's not Jim, is it?
It is.
Okay, all right.
If he's not gonna face up
to his responsibilities,
I can make him change his mind,
quick smart.
What are you going to do? Bash him up?
We'll make him an offer he can't refuse.
Nicole doesn't love him.
She doesn't even like him.
Danni, he's the father, for God's sake,
he's got to do--
So what, Steve? So what?
What's he supposed to do? Marry her?
Maybe, that's another possibility. Yeah.
Well, tell me this, genius,
how's marrying someone you don't like
going to do anything for the kid?
Excuse me, miss, can I have a word?
Not now, Danielle, I'm late for a class,
one you're late for too.
-What did you tell Nicole?
-I can't discuss that with you.
-She's my sister.
-It doesn't matter.
All my cases are confidential.
You told her to have an abortion,
didn't you, miss?
Look, what we discussed is between Nicole
and me, I think you should respect that.
-But you made her feel like it's okay--
-I don't want to talk about it!
All right… I'm sorry.
I'm sorry I'm late.
All right. All right.
All right, everyone.
All right, let's…
Now let's pick up
where we left off last time.
How to survive your family.
Let's talk about managing space.
How do you buy a little bit of privacy
without going to war
-with the rest of the family?
-Go to prison, miss.
Thank you.
-You'd know all about that, Rivers.
Anyone?
Is there something in particular
you want to talk about?
Miss?
You know how we were
talking about communication before?
Yeah.
What if there was something
you can't talk to your parents about?
What are we talking about here?
Major crime?
Hey, Dad! About that bank
that got rolled last week…
How did I get the Porsche,
mobile phone, pager?
I saved up for it, Mom.
Suppose I was pregnant?
Suppose I was pregnant, miss.
What's the question, Danielle?
Suppose I couldn't tell my parents.
-Why not?
-I was scared.
Do you wanna keep the baby?
Suppose I did.
Well, then, your parents will have to
find out sooner or later, wouldn't they?
Suppose I didn't want to keep the kid?
Well, that's one of the hardest decisions
any woman may have to make.
This is crap, man.
I'll tell you what I'd do
if I was pregnant.
I am very interested. What would you do
if you found out you're pregnant?
I'd spit all over you.
-This isn't a joke!
I'm not laughing, sweetheart.
It's being scared
that's wrong, right? Okay?
You do it, you wear it. Okay?
Your parents are gonna do nothing, man,
they're not gonna kill you for it.
What if it was your daughter, Con,
what would you do?
All right. I think we're
getting a little bit off the track here.
Chaka's question was about communication.
You didn't answer my question.
If I came to you for advice
what would it be?
What do you wanna hear, Danielle?
Do you want someone like me to take away
the responsibility for the situation?
Because I'm sorry, it can't be done.
Miss, what if it was you?
At, um... At my age…
with my career, I'd have a termination.
-I can't believe you.
-That's my personal circumstance.
Not my advice to you.
Danielle, sit down.
Would you please sit down, Danielle?
Hey, you're in trouble.
Will you… Don't.
-You're in trouble.
-Yes, you are. You're in trouble.
-Don't push your luck with me, Rivers.
You were giving Con
a pretty hard time in class.
Ooh, jealous?
Look, it was just a discussion,
I would have asked you the same.
Well, why didn't you?
Because I didn't want the others to think
I'd pick you.
-Hi, Jack.
-Hi.
This is stupid.
How do you think I feel?
If we want to go out,
it's our business, right?
Your mates'll give you a hard time, Peter.
Do you reckon we should call off tonight?
I'll cancel the reservations.
-What reservation?
-Corleone's. I've booked it for tonight.
I can't afford to eat
at a place like that.
You don't have to. I'm paying.
I wasn't gonna spring it on you,
I know you have to dress up
for a place like that.
You sure you wanna do this?
Yeah. About 6:30?
Cool. Hi, Rose.
What would you know?
-Get stuffed!
Check out these skegs, man.
What a bunch of rejects.
Why, you ever tried it?
Me? No way, mate. I've got better things
to do than walk on water, mate.
A guy could get religious
doing that sort of stuff.
Check out Berasgo, man.
Look at him, what a sad case.
Is there something bugging you?
Yeah, your shorts.
I thought we came down here to swim.
Yeah, let's go.
What's wrong with my shorts, man?
Aah!
Two worlds collide
Show me the other side
I can't pretend
This is the end
You know we've had it through
You know what you must do
You know it's taking time...
Hi.
Thanks.
You look… fantastic.
You look nice too, Peter.
Let's go?
Well, do we just go in or what?
Dunno. Wait, I guess.
Yes.
Yeah. Rivers, mate. I've got a booking.
You have a reservation.
Yeah.
I see you.
Signor, signorina, this way.
Excuse me.
Signorina.
Would you care for drinks before dinner?
Yeah. Juice, thanks, mate.
Juice?
Orange juice.
Signorina?
Dry martini.
Si.
Signor will want the wine list?
Yeah, thanks, mate.
It's lovely.
Yeah. Tucker should be all right tonight.
I'll be back.
-Okay.
The wine list, signor.
Thanks, mate.
She said she would.
Well, Yola's pretty cool
about stuff like that, you know?
Sure.
She'll probably tell her
how to get an abortion.
Is that what Nicole wants?
She won't even talk about it.
Danni, if you need anything,
I'm right here, all right? Okay?
You mean money.
If an abortion's gonna cost money.
Well, yeah. That's right.
What if it was us?
It's not us, is it, okay?
But what if it was? What would we do?
I don't know, Danni. I guess I'd be
with you all the way.
I'd even take you to the clinic,
if that's what
you wanted me to do, all right?
Is that where you'd want me to go?
I'd want whatever you wanted.
Suppose I said I was keeping the baby.
Sooner or later here I'm just gonna
give you the wrong answer.
-I don't want to do that.
-It was a real question, Steve.
I'm not trying to trap you.
What does it matter? You're not the one
who's pregnant, are you? Okay?
I'd have the baby.
I couldn't go through with an abortion.
Okay, sure.
And I won't let Nicole
go through with it either.
Fine.
What are you having?
I'm not sure yet. What are you having?
May I suggest an entrée?
No, I think we'll just stick to mains,
thanks, mate.
Um, what's the g-nocchi?
Gnocchi are small potato dumplings.
I'm afraid we don't do french fries.
I didn't ask for chips, did I, mate?
I'll have the chicken and the salad.
Pollo ripieno al forno and salad.
Signor?
Yeah, um…
Yeah, I'll have that one.
And your choice of wine?
-No, no, I don't drink.
And you can take that back.
I don't like the taste of it.
That guy's really getting up my nose.
That's cool.
He has an attitude. That's all.
How did you know
which one was the chicken?
I didn't.
There's always chicken
somewhere on the menu.
-Are you sure you're having a good time?
-Yeah, it's great.
Let's just… relax.
It's all right. I'm relaxed. I'm relaxed.
Dad's going out.
You could talk to Mom.
-Stop it!
What did Yola tell you to do?
What did she tell you to do?
Did she give an address of a clinic?
Tell you how to get rid of it?
Look, I told you because I thought
you would be on my side.
But you want me to go through
with it, don't you?
You want me to have it.
-It's your baby.
-It's my choice.
You can't have an abortion,
you can't go through with it!
It's my life, Danielle,
and you're trying to ruin it.
It doesn't have to be like that.
I'll be there for you.
You don't even know
whether it's a boy or girl.
How can you stop something like that
coming into the world?
Twenty minutes.
They look pretty busy.
You wouldn't have to wait this long
at Ruby's on a Saturday night, would you?
No, I'm sorry I ordered the martini,
I didn't realize the cost.
Look, I don't care. I want you to order
anything you want, okay?
If it ever gets here.
Look, I'm gonna complain.
Wait, I think that's ours.
About bloody time.
Pollo ripieno al forno.
And melanzane alla parmigiana.
-Buon appetito.
-That's not what I ordered, mate.
That is exactly what you ordered.
No, I ordered the steak.
You pointed at the menu.
This was the dish you chose.
If you wanted bistecca alla napoletana,
you should have said so.
That's okay, Peter, you can have mine.
No way. Look, this place
is a big enough rip-off
without having to pay
for something I don't want.
Signor. This restaurant has a policy.
If the quality of the meal
is unsatisfactory
we will replace it with our apologies.
This has never been necessary.
Well, there's a first time for everything.
Take it back.
Peter.
-Stay out of this!
You can send the dish back if you want
but you will, of course, pay for it.
I'm not gonna eat this vomit.
It stinks and I'm bloody well
not gonna pay for it.
There is nothing wrong with your meal!
If and your little friend think
you can wriggle out of paying for--
No, okay, okay, okay, okay.
I'll pay for it.
I reckon this meal's got
a real problem now, don't you?
Chaka!
Why don't you follow her example.
Go back where you came from, little boy.
Hey, mate,
you just trashed my whole night,
and I reckon
I might as well get my money's worth.
Did,
did you get home all right last night?
I know I should have followed you
instead of hitting that guy, I'm sorry.
-You hit the waiter?
-Yeah.
Then the chef came out.
He was about eight-feet high
and built like a brick dunny.
I think he was more cheesed off
about seeing his food on the table
than he was about the waiter.
Anyway, he gave me a hiding
and chucked me out the back door.
-Is that how you hurt your head?
-No, that was when I hit the bins.
It wasn't that funny at the time.
-I'm sorry, it's just…
it's just the look on that guy's face when
you spilled the eggplant on the table.
So you're not mad at me?
Yeah, I'm mad at you.
You took us to a place where everything
was gonna freak us out,
and you lost your temper,
and then you started
punching up the staff.
You really know how to show a girl
a good time, Peter.
Can we get it right next time, please?
-Next time?
-It's up to you.
Tonight?
Okay.
Cool.
But nothing fancy, all right?
No restaurants or anything, just…
somewhere we can spend some time together.
Somewhere quiet.
Yes?
Mr. Miller's coming in.
Apparently young Nicole is pregnant.
I'm glad she had the courage to tell them.
So you did know then?
Yep, I did advised her
to tell her parents.
Yola, that's not the spin
Mr. Miller's putting on it.
He's claiming you're advising her
to have an abortion.
Well, that's not true.
I just told her what her options were.
-Including an abortion?
-Yes, of course.
Makes a joke
out of our safe sex program, doesn't it?
-That's not very funny.
-It's not meant to be.
-You've gone out on a limb this time.
-I don't think so.
What exactly did you say?
Look, that's confidential.
I'm not about to discuss it.
Fine. Maybe you'll discuss it
with Mr. Miller when he comes in.
So, Danni, is it true then?
It's true. Mom and Dad hit the roof.
What, did Nicole tell them?
-No.
She didn't tell them.
They just fronted her
about it this morning.
So who lagged?
I don't know.
It's a pretty bloody low act,
whoever did it anyway.
Yeah, the lowest.
You don't reckon it was Yola?
-I don't know.
Had to be Yola, man.
She was the only one
that knew, man, right?
Well, do you want me to fix it up for you?
-Who knows, man, you can't put the blame--
-You can't fix something like that up.
Mr. Miller.
Please, come in.
I'm sorry to keep you waiting.
Sit down.
Um…
I understand how upset you and your wife
must be about this.
Do you?
-The principal thought it would be--
Excuse me.
A good idea that, um, I talk to you,
seeing as Nicole has chosen
to confide in me.
You admit that, do you?
Why should I deny it, it's part of my job.
You didn't try to contact
me or my wife about it,
you didn't phone, you didn't do anything,
have I got that right?
Nicole came to me in absolute confidence.
-She trusts me.
-She's underage.
She's pregnant.
Who do you think you are?
Mr. Miller, I advised Nicole
to tell you that she was pregnant.
Well, she didn't.
She wasn't going to tell us either.
She wants an abortion and she was
counting on you to tell her how to do it.
Right, now, now, hang on just a minute.
I mean, if Nicole told you that
then she is mistaken.
I made no such promise.
What? You never talked about abortion?
No, we mentioned it as an option,
just as we mentioned, um,
keeping the baby or having it adopted.
Nicole has a decision to make
and I wanted her to be responsible for it.
She's 15!
She's my daughter!
What's it got to do with you?
I'm-- I'm her teacher.
I'm-- I'm sorry, but it's not my fault
that she came to me and not to you.
How old are you?
I'm 30.
Got any kids?
No, no, I don't.
What's your tally for this year?
I'm sorry, I don't know what you mean.
Well, how many girls
are running around this school
at 14 or 15 who've had an abortion
without their parents knowing about it?
Just your little secret, is it?
I really think
we should talk about Nicole here.
No, there's no point in us
talking about anything.
I'm gonna have your job.
I'm gonna sue you. You're finished.
Mr. Miller, could we just talk
about this calmly?
Just one thing I'd like to ask.
When Nicole goes out of the gate at 3:30,
how do you know
what's going on in my little kid's head?
Who's gonna help her?
You're placing my daughter
in a life or death situation.
Our baby could have done anything.
She could have killed herself.
And because you didn't tell us,
we didn't know. Will you think about that?
For the next few years
when you're unemployed!
Rose?
You had an appointment with me
this morning, why didn't you keep it?
-Didn't think I had to.
-I thought you wanted to talk.
It's okay.
That's weird because three other kids
didn't turn up either. What's going on?
I don't know, miss.
All right.
Hi, Con.
-Yeah.
Hi, Nick.
How did it go with the father?
Ugly, but I'll live.
-How are you feeling?
-I feel like a leper.
I don't know who told the Millers,
but the kids have
made up their mind it was me.
Come on, it only happened
a couple of hours ago.
I had a morning packed full of interviews.
Nobody turned up.
Every counselor's dream.
An empty office and all the time
in the world to catch up.
Look, it won't last.
-You know the kids.
-Yeah, yeah. I know the kids.
The kids can go to hell.
I'm going home to soak,
and then I'm going to have myself
one hell of a night out with Richard.
Let the ungrateful little creeps
take their problems to someone else.
Listen,
I'm glad that the Millers found out,
it's what I hoped would happen. It's just
that I wanted Nicole to tell them herself.
Yeah.
-Hey! Take care of yourself.
-Thanks.
Ooh, maybe I should have brought
a metal detector.
It's not my car, it's my brother's.
-You've got a brother?
-Yeah.
I didn't know.
Yeah, he's a footballer. Played six weeks
last year with a fractured wrist.
Tough guy.
Yeah, Dad's into motivation, you know,
beat the pain barrier.
Nice guys come last.
No one remembers someone
who comes second?
That's for sure.
You don't have to compete
with anyone tonight. I promise.
-Did you plan for this?
-What?
-Condoms.
-Yeah, I should have one.
-Peter.
-Sure I had one.
It's all right, I'll be careful.
I'm sorry, Peter.
I wanna have safe sex.
I wouldn't want to go through
what Nicole's going through.
Yeah, sure.
It's not just about getting pregnant.
Don't take it personal.
Look, why don't you just drive me home?
Yeah, not a problem.
Hi.
-Hi.
You look great.
-Thanks.
Very nice.
You know wine?
My father's Italian,
so you grow up with it.
-Hi, Phil.
-Hi, Yola. How are you doing?
Are you joining us?
-No. I've got a date.
Right. So Richard phoned back.
No, he didn't, but I left three messages,
bound to get one of them.
I've got to go and see the kids first,
they're driving me crazy.
Um… Have a good time.
Thanks.
-Thanks.
See you.
-See you.
So…
So…
Why don't you open the wine
and make yourself at home.
-Cool.
-I'll finish the cooking bit.
You really do look great.
Thanks, so do you.
Look, we saw the car.
Nick, didn't we see the car?
So what?
Parked right outside the flat.
-Yeah!
-So what do you guys reckon?
You reckon they're on together?
-I reckon he's doing Miss Fatoush.
Yeah!
Who says he's on with anyone?
I mean, having dinner together
doesn't mean anything.
-Well, it is if you stay till breakfast.
-That's right.
So how would you know
if he was sleeping with her?
I just don't think he is, that's all.
Who cares anyway?
It's none of our business.
Like, what does he do?
Ask your permission?
I know him, that's all.
-You know him.
-We've talked.
Sure, a teacher's going to spill
his sex life out to some kid from Year 11.
I know things about him nobody knows.
Yeah, like what, Rose?
Give us the goss?
Just things.
Total fantasy.
Hey. Hey! Look who's just walked in.
She's got a nerve coming in, hasn't she?
Okay.
I can't take this any longer,
so I wanna know what's going on.
Do I need a shower or something?
Yeah, why don't you go away and have one?
-What's your problem?
-As if you don't know what her problem is.
Well, spell it out for me
'cause I'm stupid.
Yeah, okay.
N-I-C-O-L-E.
Why did you tell Nicole's parents
she was pregnant?
Yeah, she came to you in confidence,
miss, then you put her in.
If I said I didn't, would you believe me?
-No, we wouldn't.
Because you're a spy
and you're not in school now,
so why don't you just cut the crap, miss?
If you didn't tell her, who did?
-I don't know.
You expect us to believe that?
Well, that's how much you know me.
My loyalty is with you guys.
There is no way I would tell
Nicole's parents without her consent.
Or at the very least,
letting her know I was gonna do it.
I'd rather quit than do that.
So ask Nicole
before you go around making accusations.
Why don't you just quit anyway?
A week ago you were saying she was cool.
Yeah, we all thought
we could go into her office
and spill our guts.
Look what she did to Nicole, man.
-Shut up!
-What's your problem?
-Just leave her out of it.
-You're not sticking up for her, are you?
She wasn't the one
who told my parents about Nicole.
I did.
Hi, miss.
You're early.
Had a blue with the oldies.
Things are pretty tough at home
at the moment?
Miss…
I'm sorry.
What about?
I'm sorry…
I was the one who told my parents
about Nicole.
Miss, I thought I was
doing the right thing.
And I'm sorry about Dad going off.
How's Nicole?
They're letting her have
an abortion, miss.
After all the years of telling us
it was wrong.
And how do you feel about it?
I'm just confused.
I thought I was doing
the right thing and Nicole…
she hates me, and Mom,
she won't even look at me.
It sounds like things have
worked out the way Nicole wanted them to.
I still think she's gonna need
all the support her big sister can give.
Yeah, I guess.
Thanks, miss.
Chaka!
Do you want the whole school
talking about us?
-Maybe I don't care.
-Maybe there's nothing to talk about.
Are you gonna give me a chance?
Look, I behaved
like a little kid last night.
You were right.
-I made you feel bad. I'm sorry.
-I can't believe you didn't have a condom.
Well,
I didn't know I was gonna need one.
If a guy goes out
with a pocketful of condoms,
what's a girl gonna think?
That he's taking her for granted.
And if the girl's got a condom
in her pocket, what's a guy gonna think?
That she's cheap.
I can't believe
I'm talking about this with a girl.
-Well, at least we can talk.
-Yeah.
Do you want to go out again tonight?
Can you borrow your brother's car?
I'll steal it if I have to.
Third time lucky.
Yeah.
Well, the same thought crossed my mind.
Yeah!
Miss Fatoush?
Can I see you for a second, please?
What do you want, Nick?
I've got some really bad problems, miss.
I'm sorry to hear that.
What's the problem?
It's much too embarrassing, miss.
Can I tell you in private, please?
Let me guess, Con,
you've got problems, too?
It's stress, miss.
Miss, somebody said that word "exams,"
I don't know, miss,
I get really sick in the stomach.
Well, um, listen, why don't you
make an appointment?
Yes, miss.
-All of you.
Woo!
Our world
Two worlds collide
Show me
The other side
I can't pretend
Is this the end
You know
We've had it through
You know what you must do
You know it's taking time
You know that you'll be mine
