Heartbreak High (1994–1999): Season 1, Episode 16 - Episode #1.16 - full transcript
Are you keeping an eye on me?
Can I walk with you?
Yeah. Okay.
Hey.
-Thanks.
-For what?
Well, looking after me
at the school dance.
Didn't think you would remember.
Does this mean we're going out?
Yeah. Is that what you want?
Cool.
Don't worry about it.
We'll fix him up.
-Can't believe Rose would kiss him.
-It's all right.
Don't worry about it.
Let him enjoy his last kiss.
Take him out, man.
If it was my cousin, I'd kill him.
I can't believe he just did that.
I'll get it.
Hello there.
I'm not sure
if I've come to the right place.
I think you have.
I'm looking for my mother.
All right.
-In that case, maybe you haven't.
-Her name is Stella Ioannou.
Stella.
-Yeah, I'm Katerina.
-Hey.
Mom.
Katie, what a surprise.
-What are you doing here?
-I wanted to see you.
-You look wonderful.
-Thank you.
Mr. George Poulos,
this is my daughter, Katerina.
-Hi.
-Nice to meet you.
And I'm Nick.
Hi.
Sorry, I can't actually stay right now.
I'm going down to Ruby's, all right?
So I'll see you later.
See you.
-Come on, darling.
-Come on in.
Yeah. Have you had something to eat?
-No, I haven't.
-Good.
There's plenty of food over here.
So, how do you get your high marks?
Work.
Sure. You're just bright.
No, I put the hours in.
Well, it takes me forever
to finish an assignment.
Rose?
Hi, Dad. In here.
Listen, why don't we go and--
I didn't know you had company.
Jack, this is my dad.
Jack Tran, Mr. Malouf.
Hi.
We're just doing a bit of homework.
Yeah. Right.
So you're helping Rose
with her studies?
No. Rose knows enough herself.
-We just don't--
-He's just helping me with geography.
He's really good.
He nearly always gets 100%.
He really is helping me, Dad.
Okay.
-Well, I'll leave you to it.
-Thanks, Mr. Malouf.
Dad's not really all that bad.
-What does he do?
-He's a solicitor.
Wow,. Went through uni and that?
-Yeah.
-I'm impressed.
So, what's wrong?
Why should there be anything wrong?
Well, it's not school holidays.
Yeah. I'm allowed
to make home visits on weekends.
Why? Can't I come and see you?
Darling, of course you can.
Does your father know?
Call him and tell him…
Tell him you'll stay here tonight,
he can let the school know.
Yeah, sure. Later.
Mum…
Are you ever going back to Dad?
No.
It's over.
Why?
-I told you.
I lost respect for him,
and I don't love him anymore.
What about us?
Is that over, too?
No.
I love you forever.
-Would you do anything for me?
-You know I would.
Come back to Dad, then.
Katie, you are being naughty.
I have my own life now,
I'll never go back to your dad.
You shouldn't waste your time
thinking about it.
We have to get on with our lives.
Yeah. Sure. Whatever.
Here's your tea, George.
Is everything all right?
I don't know.
Look…
If you need some time or whatever,
this is your home.
It's not a problem.
I mean, she can stay here
for a couple of days.
Thanks. Thanks, George.
George, what do you think
of my daughter?
I don't know.
She seems like a nice girl.
She is wild.
She's got a big heart,
but it gets her into a lot of trouble.
Yes.
I thought sending her to a good school
would be the answer.
Mother and father always fighting,
hatred in the home, that's no good.
No, it's not.
Then a mother with no job,
no money,
nowhere to live, that's no good either.
Yeah, I thought a good school
would be the best idea,
but maybe I…
Maybe I was wrong, George.
Look…
A daughter needs a mother.
I think you need some time together.
I think you're right.
Yeah?
"Hello" or "Come in"
would be better than "Yeah."
Yeah. Sorry, Dad.
So when did your boyfriend go?
About half an hour ago.
So he is your boyfriend?
Well, I don't know, Dad.
Don't ask me questions like that.
You're not to see him anymore.
What?
I won't insult your intelligence, habibi.
Don't insult mine.
He's not one of us,
I don't want you to see him anymore.
How old am I, Dad?
That's got nothing to do with it.
You're my daughter.
You can't be serious.
Rose, I have spoken.
You don't even know what he's like.
I don't want to.
I do know that he wouldn't be accepted
in our community.
Now, it's to stop, right?
Why, because he's Asian?
No.
But that doesn't make it any better.
This isn't fair.
Jack is just like me.
No. He's not like you, Rose.
Now, don't disobey me.
Rose.
I hate being Lebanese.
You hate being Lebanese?
Yeah. I hate it.
Why do you hate it?
Because if you're Lebanese,
you've got Lebanese parents.
Yeah, that's about right.
If you're a Lebanese guy,
it's all right.
But if you're a Lebanese girl,
it just sucks.
Yeah. I know what you mean.
My dad reckons
if I don't do what he says,
he's gonna pull me out of Hartley
and send me to some Lebanese school.
Well, I'd believe him if I was you.
-I believe him.
-Good.
What, this is about Jack, right?
Great.
I suppose everybody knows.
No, don't suppose that, just I know.
Yup, it's about Jack.
Right. And your dad doesn't like him?
No.
-Well, you didn't expect him to, did you?
-I don't know.
You're not married, are you, miss?
No.
Couldn't you find anyone
your old man approved of?
No.
Lebanese parents
can be pretty old-fashioned?
Yup.
Look, Rose, this isn't simple, okay?
You got to understand
where your dad's coming from.
-What?
-He's got a-- Just a minute,
he's got his reasons.
But what we're talking about here
is years of traditions and beliefs,
and they do have meaning.
You've got to start by respecting them
and recognizing them.
Listen to me,
Jack is gonna be going through
exactly the same thing
with his family.
-I don't wanna hear this.
-Come on, Rose.
-Sit down.
-No, I've heard it all before.
It's enough.
Hello.
-Hi.
Hi.
You're home surprisingly early.
Yeah.
Ruby's closed down early tonight
for some reason, I don't know.
Katerina is gonna be staying
with us tonight.
If that's all right with you.
Hey, if the boss says it's okay,
it's fine with me.
Good. Good.
Because she's gonna be sleeping
in your room.
What?
Yeah.
Can I come in?
Yeah, sure.
Sorry, I just wanted to get my pajamas.
Would you like your teddy bear
with that as well?
No.
So, is this your girlfriend?
Yeah, Jodie is her name.
She's all right.
Yeah.
How many have you had?
What?
Girlfriends. I bet you've had heaps.
What's it to you?
Just making conversation.
Well, I've had a few, all right?
So, how far did you go with Jodie?
-What sort of question is that?
-Sorry.
I just come from a girl's school,
we talk like that.
-Well, it's none of your business.
-Fine, Nick.
It's just that we don't get much chance
for sex at boarding school.
You know, if we get hot,
we just take a cold shower
or run the oval a couple of times.
Tragic, isn't it?
-I got to go to bed.
-Good night, Nick. Sleep tight.
Hi.
What do you want in here?
You've been in here for ages.
Well, your bad luck, all right?
Just wait a minute
and I'll be out in a second.
Just get out!
What are you standing there for?
Can't you see I'm taking a shower here?
Get out now!
What are you hanging around for?
-Just get out!
-All right. Keep your shirt on.
Don't you know how to close a door?
Hey, Nick, man,
you want some toast?
No, man.
Let's get out of here.
-Come on.
-What do you mean?
-What's the hurry, man?
-Let's just get out of here.
-There is someone I don't wanna see.
-Who, man?
Just have some OJ
and then you'll be happy.
-Hi.
-Hello.
-Con Bordino.
-Katerina.
Pleasure to meet you.
I'm just gonna go
and hang some things out on the line.
Well, you want a hand?
You got a big load there, you know?
No, it's all right. I can manage.
-Sure?
-Yeah.
See you later.
Sure. Yeah, yeah.
You wanna tell me about this?
You're keeping secrets from me now?
-Let's just get out of here, man.
-Hey.
Let's go.
Hey, Rosie.
Hey, Jack.
How was your class?
-All right.
-Yeah.
Hey. Hey, Rose?
What do you think you're doing?
Get off.
-I'm not talking to you.
Think about what you're doing, Rose.
You could cause a lot of trouble.
-I'll do what I like, Paul.
-I don't think so.
Yeah. What are you gonna do about it?
Just think about it.
What's he to you?
-He's my cousin.
-So?
So, he reckons he can tell me
how to run my life.
No, he can't.
I know he can't,
but he doesn't know that.
How come he doesn't work?
George does work.
Shifts.
He has rostered days off.
Do you like him?
Why shouldn't I?
Well, he's a loser
and he's got loser's job.
-Katerina.
-It's true.
And Nick thinks he's a big shot
the way he struts around.
Katie, stop it.
Now, I know what you're up to,
but you've got to get it into your head.
Both your father and I
love you very much,
but there is no way,
no way we are ever gonna
get back together again.
You don't care what happens to me.
Of course, I do.
Well, why spend so much time
with a strange family then?
I like my job.
It suits me to stay here
and look after these people.
I rang your father last night.
-Don't you trust me?
-No.
And I have every reason not to trust you.
So, don't act all innocent.
You didn't call him.
He didn't even know you were here.
You jigged school and you lied to me,
you little bugger.
Katerina.
Katie!
Where is she?
Who?
Katerina, man.
She's not here, that's for sure.
Well, she's supposed to be here.
What do you mean
she's supposed to be here?
I gave her a call this morning,
right, and…
-You gave her a call?
-Yeah.
She's supposed to come down, man.
-I'm giving her--
-Hey, hey, hey, hey, wait.
What are you doing, man?
Just take hold of yourself.
Hold yourself together.
What do you mean you gave her a call?
She was home by herself and, you know,
I just thought, you know,
I'd bring her down,
meet the guys, hang out a bit.
This man's crazy.
Hey, just stop, think again.
I don't think so, mate.
You made it?
-I knew you wouldn't let me down.
-How could I refuse?
Now, what do we…
-Hi.
-Hi.
Jodie, this chick
makes the best burgers ever.
You are such a knob.
This is Katerina.
This is Stella's daughter.
-Hi.
-Hi.
She's all right.
Yeah. Look at that.
Is that all you ever think about?
You've got one-track minds.
I'm famous. People around in here,
mate, they respect me.
Got any better music than this?
She's certainly got
some good music around here.
Just take a peek.
So, you're into music?
I like to dance.
Are you any good?
Give me a few years, I might be.
All right. Let's see how good
you are then?
So that's the girl
that's sleeping in your room.
In your bed.
Come on.
Good shot.
I like playing with you.
Mum just used to watch.
Hey, do you miss your mum?
Effie?
Yeah. I miss her more than anything.
I want her back so much.
Hey, I'm sorry.
It's okay. It's not your fault.
I miss my mum, too.
But you've still got her.
Not really.
I'm in boarding school,
I live with my dad the rest of the time.
-You've got my mum.
-You can come and live with us.
-Yeah, sure.
-You can.
Thanks. Hey, do you
wanna hang out together?
We can go to the mall
and get some ice cream.
Let's go.
Great.
What do you want?
You, slope-head.
Hey.
-Nick.
-Is Effie with you?
-Katerina too.
Where have you been?
-Yeah. Where are they?
-Wait, wait a second.
Wait, I was just down at Ruby's.
-What's going on?
-Did you see Katerina or Effie there?
I saw Katerina before,
but that was ages ago.
-Well, they've gone.
-Yes.
-They've gone where?
-We don't know.
They were out there
and now they've gone.
-They've disappeared.
-Didn't they come home?
-No.
-All right.
Did you call the cops?
Yes, and the hospitals, no reports.
-Okay. All right. Give me the car keys.
-Give him the keys.
-We've already done the rounds.
-Give me the car keys.
-Come on.
-Take them.
-Okay. Where will you look now?
-I don't know. I'll just drive
-around the corner or somewhere.
-Hi. Guess where we've been?
Guess.
You, go to your room, now!
Oooh. Sorry, you were worried.
I should've rang.
In future, it's better
if you're gonna be late,
hey, you've got to telephone
so nobody worries.
My God.
-You did this on purpose, didn't you?
-No.
You are something else.
-What's with him?
-You, get to your room, now!
Get out of my way, Paul.
Don't get smart with me, Rose.
Worse things happen.
Worse than what, Paul?
Jack, what's happened to you?
I had an accident.
Yeah, sure, Jack. Tell me, don't lie.
-What? I fell off my bike, honest.
-Don't lie to me, Jack.
Liar.
It's not safe being seen with me.
It's not safe.
Yes. Yes, yes, yes.
You get caught sneaking
out of Rose's window, did you?
What's it to you, man?
Are you trying to start something up?
-Leave it, Nick.
-Why should I?
-Rose wants us to leave it alone.
-Run along, buddy. Run along.
Why, Rose? Is that how you stop 'em--
Look, he got jumped
for being a Viet, right?
You don't know that.
-Yeah?
Why else?
-It doesn't matter, all right?
I don't believe you, man.
Listen, it was an accident, okay?
If they hear anything else
about this, there'll be war.
-If who hears about this?
-His people, Con.
So, it was an accident, okay?
Just leave it.
Okay.
-Hey. How's it going?
-Hi.
-Sorry, I'm late.
-No, it's cool.
I just had to wait till my dad left.
All right. Come to the kitchen,
meet my uncle.
-Jack.
-No, it's cool.
He'll like you. He'll love you.
Come on, let's go.
You wait until you try his cooking.
-Hello.
-Hi.
Uncle Tran, this is Rose Malouf.
-How are you?
-Good, thanks.
-What's up?
-What's he cooking?
Our meal tonight. Dog.
-What?
-Dog.
I'm only kidding.
When we left Vietnam,
we were in the boat for like…
five days.
Yeah, 40 people crammed
onto this little fishing trawler.
Yeah, my dad built it himself.
-We got the whole works, you know?
-Yeah.
Pirates. Not the ones,
you know, with the skulls and…
Yeah.
But this time these pirates,
they came aboard our ship, our boat,
and some of the women were raped.
My uncle, here, in the kitchen,
you know, the one you met, yeah?
He got shot in the leg,
so now he's got this limp for life.
-Yeah?
-Yeah.
Well, anyway,
when we landed in Malaysia,
we got sponsored
by this really nice Christian church
to come over here to Australia.
Wow. I'm glad of that.
Yeah, me too, yeah.
That's why I want
to study hard, you know.
I wanna… I wanna help other people too.
-How?
-Well, I got helped.
My family got helped.
I wanna become a doctor, you know.
I wanna become a doctor.
Hey, Uncle.
Yeah.
Don't worry,
it's not what you think it is.
It's cool. Okay.
Are we eating with those?
Why? You've never used it before?
No.
Give me that. One here.
I'm left-handed.
Are you? Okay.
Okay. You're left-handed.
Okay. You put them here.
Hold on tight.
So, you've come home.
-Yeah.
-Who's out there?
I see.
Jack just took me
to his uncle's restaurant.
-Go to your room.
-No.
I asked you not to go out with him.
Not only did you go out with him,
but you stayed out late.
-We just went out--
-Go to your room.
I would like to have a word
with the boy.
-How'd you get the black eye?
-You know how I got it.
No, I don't know, Jack.
Now, you don't have to believe me,
but you copping a beating
would never be my idea.
No matter what you think of me,
I'm not a thug.
I spent half my life
defending victims of violence.
I would never condone physical abuse.
But unfortunately, this goes
to the heart of the problem.
Look, there are hot-headed
people involved.
When they get crossed, people get hurt.
So is this your threat now?
I'm just asking you to think straight.
This relationship
you're having with my daughter
is gonna cause trouble
to both our communities.
Look, Jack…
I'm asking you, man to man,
please stop seeing my daughter.
I'm sorry.
But I'm not going to stop seeing her.
What?
What?
-What?
-Quiet. I just wanna talk.
Talk about what?
It's the middle of the night.
Right, right. Don't yell, come on.
What do you want?
I don't know.
Everyone hates me
and I don't know what I did wrong.
All right. Well, you ran off with Effie
without saying anything to anyone.
You're lucky my dad didn't throw you
out of the house.
-I'm sorry.
-So you should be.
I'm so sorry, I don't know
why I do these things.
I think you should just go
back to bed, okay?
Yeah. Sure. It's not your problem.
Why should you care?
It's not that, you know. It's just…
-Katerina.
-What?
Are you okay?
Can I come in?
Hey, listen.
No one really hates you.
You know that, don't you?
You don't like me.
Come on. That's not true.
Isn't it?
Well, not all true.
Thanks.
Every time I come near you,
you push me away.
Come on. Don't be like that now.
It's true. It's what happens.
What are you being like that for?
Come on. Just relax. Take it easy.
What are you crying for?
Shh.
Yeah. That's it.
You need to relax a bit, you know.
Just take it easy.
You don't have to be like that.
What's going on here?
-Get off me!
-What?
-Get off me now!
-You're mad.
-Get off me, Nick!
-Are you crazy or something?
-What the hell is your problem?
-What's going on?
-What-- Hey, I didn't do nothing.
-Mom!
-Hey, I didn't touch her.
-What are you doing?
-I didn't touch her.
-He came into my room!
-What are you doing?
-I did not.
-Darling, come here.
-I didn't do anything.
-You little bitch!
-Hey.
You don't speak to her like that!
-I didn't do anything!
-Get out, get out!
Hey, it's not how it looks, okay?
-I didn't…
-Calm down.
She came in here.
She was crying, okay?
I was trying to make the girl feel better.
-She came into your room?
-That's right.
She came in here.
Then how come you ended up in hers?
She was upset, man! She walked out!
What do you want me to do?
Did she invite you into her room?
No, not exactly. But so what?
She was crying, I'm telling you.
She walked out. I followed after her.
I'm disappointed in you.
Why don't you believe me?
Why don't you believe me?
You tell me why she was yelling!
The girl's twisted.
I'm telling you. She's got problems.
-I don't know.
-Well, that's not good enough.
Not good enough?
Let me tell you
what's not good enough, all right?
What's not good enough,
I have to sit here and listen to
all this stuff from you because of her.
That's not good enough.
I'm getting out of here, okay?
I'm not coming back
until she's gone, all right?
-Well, you do believe me, don't you?
-Yeah.
After what I saw at Ruby's, I believe you.
What I wanna know
is why she's doing it?
It's pretty obvious.
Thanks. What is?
She's trying to get Stella to leave.
Why would she wanna do that?
I think she feels threatened.
It's like you're Stella's new family.
She's trying to bust it up, you know.
Make Stella go back to her dad
so they can play "happy families."
Stella does not want to go back, right?
Yeah, I know.
But I can sort of understand
where she's coming from.
Like, I tried to do the same thing
when my parents split.
-What happened?
-Well…
I tried to cause a lot of trouble.
But in the end,
I realized it wasn't working.
My parents would never
get back together, no matter what I did.
Hey, come on.
Let's just change the subject?
I don't wanna think about it anymore.
I'm so embarrassed.
George, you have nothing
to be embarrassed about.
Yes, I have. He is my son.
Well, I'm sure he didn't go too far.
Too far? What are you saying?
He was in your daughter's bedroom.
Well, I guess that's what happens
when you put two teenagers
under the same roof.
I'm sorry. Now, look.
I expect a bit more self-control.
Have you considered that maybe
Katie led him on a bit?
Come off it.
Anyway, you know,
that is not an excuse.
George, you've been very kind
to me and my daughter.
That's nothing.
But we'll be leaving tomorrow.
Hey, listen.
No, you can't.
We can sort this out.
We can sort it out.
We have to go.
You're going without saying goodbye.
Bye.
Rose.
This thing you're having with Jack.
-It's not a thing, Dad.
-Okay.
But, look, what is important
is to remember that there is a difference.
We are different.
No, Dad. We're in Australia.
We're Australians.
We are Lebanese Australians.
It's not possible to deny it, Rose.
But it's not fair.
Why should I stop seeing Jack
if we love each other?
It's not that easy.
Do you love me, Dad?
-Do you?
-Well, you know the answer.
Well, it is that simple.
I wish.
Hi.
Hi.
How's Nick?
He's pretty upset.
He's upset?
Well, he has every right to be,
hasn't he?
I see he's got you wrapped
around his little finger.
-Is anyone home?
-Nope.
Mom's out shopping
and Mr. Poulos's at his loser job.
You've got a real chip
on your shoulder, haven't you?
-Have I?
-Why are you doing this to Nick?
It's so unfair.
And since when has Nick been fair
with you?
I don't know what you mean.
-I mean, how well do you know him?
-Well enough.
Right. So, you don't mind
if he has other girlfriends?
I know what you're trying to do.
Ask him who Susan is.
Susan.
-She's a figment of your imagination.
-Really?
She writes pretty good letters
for someone who doesn't exist.
Are you always like this?
"Nick, I miss your body so much.
No one is as good as you."
It gets better too.
I could show you, if you like.
I don't believe that crap.
But you believe Nick.
Look, that was a pretty recent letter.
Shut up, you little bitch.
Wake up, Jodie,
Nick was in my room last night.
He's even been in the shower with me.
Look, I don't have to take this.
Say hi to Nick for me.
See you.
Nick.
-Did you see her?
-I saw her.
So, what happened?
Who's Susan?
Who?
Susan, the one that misses
your body so much.
-I don't believe this.
-So, who is she?
She's no one. She doesn't even exist.
I'm not so sure about that.
You know, you're being sucked in
by her as well.
She said she'd been
in the shower with you.
-Who, Susan?
-Don't get cute.
Hey, Katerina walked in on me, okay?
Why doesn't anyone believe that?
But she sounded
pretty damn convincing.
She's a liar.
That's right. I told you what she's like.
She's lying.
Well, either she is or you are.
Look. Let me tell you something,
all right?
I know what happened, okay?
You can believe whatever you want,
but I'm in the clear.
Simple.
So, you've never known any Susan
like she says?
Well, yeah. But, you know,
that was a long time ago.
I mean, that was ages ago,
-long before you.
-Shut up.
-I get it.
-I'm telling you the truth.
Hey.
-Hi, Effie.
-Hi.
What are you doing?
Nothing.
What's wrong?
You and Stella are leaving.
Don't worry. We'll come and visit.
It's not fair. Why do you have to leave?
We just have to.
It's all because of my stupid brother.
I hate him.
No, you don't.
I do.
What he did was really bad.
And I never want to talk to him again.
-Can I tell you a secret?
-What?
Promise not to tell anyone?
Yeah.
Just between you and me, okay?
Nick didn't do anything wrong.
But I heard you shouting.
Dad and Stella saw him in your room.
Nick didn't do anything.
I made the whole thing up.
Do you really have to go?
I'm afraid so, darling.
Katie and I need to find
a home of our own.
It's because of what Nick did, isn't it?
No. We just have to go. That's all.
Nick didn't do anything wrong.
I'm afraid he did, Effie.
But he didn't.
I'm not supposed to tell you this,
but Katerina made it all up.
-What?
-She told me.
I was supposed to keep it a secret
but it's not fair.
It's not Nick's fault.
Katerina?
You must be pretty pleased
with yourself.
-Sorry?
-No, I'm sorry.
You had no right to do that!
What are you talking about?
Did you lie about
what happened last night?
-Last night, what?
-Did you? Did you lie?
Effie told me everything!
So, you tell the truth
for once in your life!
Did you lie?
Yes.
How could you?
I didn't mean to hurt anyone.
Well, you have.
You've hurt Mr. Poulos
and Nick and Effie and me.
Why, Katie?
I just wanted us to be…
To be together, that's all.
Don't hate me.
Look. I know you are hurting.
But this is not the way to fix it.
Sorry.
Mom, you do love me, don't you?
Yes, of course, I love you.
Sorry. Can you please forgive me?
I love you.
Gosh, I made a mess of things,
haven't I?
We both have.
What are we gonna do?
I don't know.
It's up to Mr. Poulos now.
Come on, Jodie.
You're punishing me for something
that happened a hundred years ago.
So, why did you keep
Susan's letters then?
I don't know. I just forgot.
Are you gonna thrown them out?
Well?
All right. I'll throw them out, okay?
Whatever you say.
Yeah, do it.
Hey, Nick.
Hey, Dad. What are you doing here?
I've come here to apologize to you.
-What for?
-Katerina,
that stuff that happened last night.
She's admitted it's her fault.
Why'd she do it?
Well, you know, it's complicated.
Maybe she needed some attention
-from her mother.
-Hey, who cares?
I'm an innocent man, right?
I'm an innocent man.
I've been wrongfully accused
and disbelieved by my own girlfriend.
-Anyway, she's apologized.
-All right. Good.
Now, what about you?
What about you?
Yeah, right. I believe you.
Okay. That's what I like to hear.
This is my lucky day.
I'm winning everywhere.
-I'm a winner.
-Well, I'm glad you feel that way.
Hey, sure, I do.
I'm in the clear.
Look, Jodie loves me again.
And that freak from hell
is out of the house and out of my life.
Wrong. She's staying.
What do you mean she's staying?
That's it. She's staying.
What's the rush?
Dad! Wait, I don't think he's home.
What are you doing?
We don't have to rush to do that.
Dad?
No, we'll be fine. Come on.
So, what do you wanna do?
Well, what do you do?
We're alone.
Yes.
So?
So, what's up?
I want us to do it.
Are you sure?
Yeah.
I thought you were.
Can I walk with you?
Yeah. Okay.
Hey.
-Thanks.
-For what?
Well, looking after me
at the school dance.
Didn't think you would remember.
Does this mean we're going out?
Yeah. Is that what you want?
Cool.
Don't worry about it.
We'll fix him up.
-Can't believe Rose would kiss him.
-It's all right.
Don't worry about it.
Let him enjoy his last kiss.
Take him out, man.
If it was my cousin, I'd kill him.
I can't believe he just did that.
I'll get it.
Hello there.
I'm not sure
if I've come to the right place.
I think you have.
I'm looking for my mother.
All right.
-In that case, maybe you haven't.
-Her name is Stella Ioannou.
Stella.
-Yeah, I'm Katerina.
-Hey.
Mom.
Katie, what a surprise.
-What are you doing here?
-I wanted to see you.
-You look wonderful.
-Thank you.
Mr. George Poulos,
this is my daughter, Katerina.
-Hi.
-Nice to meet you.
And I'm Nick.
Hi.
Sorry, I can't actually stay right now.
I'm going down to Ruby's, all right?
So I'll see you later.
See you.
-Come on, darling.
-Come on in.
Yeah. Have you had something to eat?
-No, I haven't.
-Good.
There's plenty of food over here.
So, how do you get your high marks?
Work.
Sure. You're just bright.
No, I put the hours in.
Well, it takes me forever
to finish an assignment.
Rose?
Hi, Dad. In here.
Listen, why don't we go and--
I didn't know you had company.
Jack, this is my dad.
Jack Tran, Mr. Malouf.
Hi.
We're just doing a bit of homework.
Yeah. Right.
So you're helping Rose
with her studies?
No. Rose knows enough herself.
-We just don't--
-He's just helping me with geography.
He's really good.
He nearly always gets 100%.
He really is helping me, Dad.
Okay.
-Well, I'll leave you to it.
-Thanks, Mr. Malouf.
Dad's not really all that bad.
-What does he do?
-He's a solicitor.
Wow,. Went through uni and that?
-Yeah.
-I'm impressed.
So, what's wrong?
Why should there be anything wrong?
Well, it's not school holidays.
Yeah. I'm allowed
to make home visits on weekends.
Why? Can't I come and see you?
Darling, of course you can.
Does your father know?
Call him and tell him…
Tell him you'll stay here tonight,
he can let the school know.
Yeah, sure. Later.
Mum…
Are you ever going back to Dad?
No.
It's over.
Why?
-I told you.
I lost respect for him,
and I don't love him anymore.
What about us?
Is that over, too?
No.
I love you forever.
-Would you do anything for me?
-You know I would.
Come back to Dad, then.
Katie, you are being naughty.
I have my own life now,
I'll never go back to your dad.
You shouldn't waste your time
thinking about it.
We have to get on with our lives.
Yeah. Sure. Whatever.
Here's your tea, George.
Is everything all right?
I don't know.
Look…
If you need some time or whatever,
this is your home.
It's not a problem.
I mean, she can stay here
for a couple of days.
Thanks. Thanks, George.
George, what do you think
of my daughter?
I don't know.
She seems like a nice girl.
She is wild.
She's got a big heart,
but it gets her into a lot of trouble.
Yes.
I thought sending her to a good school
would be the answer.
Mother and father always fighting,
hatred in the home, that's no good.
No, it's not.
Then a mother with no job,
no money,
nowhere to live, that's no good either.
Yeah, I thought a good school
would be the best idea,
but maybe I…
Maybe I was wrong, George.
Look…
A daughter needs a mother.
I think you need some time together.
I think you're right.
Yeah?
"Hello" or "Come in"
would be better than "Yeah."
Yeah. Sorry, Dad.
So when did your boyfriend go?
About half an hour ago.
So he is your boyfriend?
Well, I don't know, Dad.
Don't ask me questions like that.
You're not to see him anymore.
What?
I won't insult your intelligence, habibi.
Don't insult mine.
He's not one of us,
I don't want you to see him anymore.
How old am I, Dad?
That's got nothing to do with it.
You're my daughter.
You can't be serious.
Rose, I have spoken.
You don't even know what he's like.
I don't want to.
I do know that he wouldn't be accepted
in our community.
Now, it's to stop, right?
Why, because he's Asian?
No.
But that doesn't make it any better.
This isn't fair.
Jack is just like me.
No. He's not like you, Rose.
Now, don't disobey me.
Rose.
I hate being Lebanese.
You hate being Lebanese?
Yeah. I hate it.
Why do you hate it?
Because if you're Lebanese,
you've got Lebanese parents.
Yeah, that's about right.
If you're a Lebanese guy,
it's all right.
But if you're a Lebanese girl,
it just sucks.
Yeah. I know what you mean.
My dad reckons
if I don't do what he says,
he's gonna pull me out of Hartley
and send me to some Lebanese school.
Well, I'd believe him if I was you.
-I believe him.
-Good.
What, this is about Jack, right?
Great.
I suppose everybody knows.
No, don't suppose that, just I know.
Yup, it's about Jack.
Right. And your dad doesn't like him?
No.
-Well, you didn't expect him to, did you?
-I don't know.
You're not married, are you, miss?
No.
Couldn't you find anyone
your old man approved of?
No.
Lebanese parents
can be pretty old-fashioned?
Yup.
Look, Rose, this isn't simple, okay?
You got to understand
where your dad's coming from.
-What?
-He's got a-- Just a minute,
he's got his reasons.
But what we're talking about here
is years of traditions and beliefs,
and they do have meaning.
You've got to start by respecting them
and recognizing them.
Listen to me,
Jack is gonna be going through
exactly the same thing
with his family.
-I don't wanna hear this.
-Come on, Rose.
-Sit down.
-No, I've heard it all before.
It's enough.
Hello.
-Hi.
Hi.
You're home surprisingly early.
Yeah.
Ruby's closed down early tonight
for some reason, I don't know.
Katerina is gonna be staying
with us tonight.
If that's all right with you.
Hey, if the boss says it's okay,
it's fine with me.
Good. Good.
Because she's gonna be sleeping
in your room.
What?
Yeah.
Can I come in?
Yeah, sure.
Sorry, I just wanted to get my pajamas.
Would you like your teddy bear
with that as well?
No.
So, is this your girlfriend?
Yeah, Jodie is her name.
She's all right.
Yeah.
How many have you had?
What?
Girlfriends. I bet you've had heaps.
What's it to you?
Just making conversation.
Well, I've had a few, all right?
So, how far did you go with Jodie?
-What sort of question is that?
-Sorry.
I just come from a girl's school,
we talk like that.
-Well, it's none of your business.
-Fine, Nick.
It's just that we don't get much chance
for sex at boarding school.
You know, if we get hot,
we just take a cold shower
or run the oval a couple of times.
Tragic, isn't it?
-I got to go to bed.
-Good night, Nick. Sleep tight.
Hi.
What do you want in here?
You've been in here for ages.
Well, your bad luck, all right?
Just wait a minute
and I'll be out in a second.
Just get out!
What are you standing there for?
Can't you see I'm taking a shower here?
Get out now!
What are you hanging around for?
-Just get out!
-All right. Keep your shirt on.
Don't you know how to close a door?
Hey, Nick, man,
you want some toast?
No, man.
Let's get out of here.
-Come on.
-What do you mean?
-What's the hurry, man?
-Let's just get out of here.
-There is someone I don't wanna see.
-Who, man?
Just have some OJ
and then you'll be happy.
-Hi.
-Hello.
-Con Bordino.
-Katerina.
Pleasure to meet you.
I'm just gonna go
and hang some things out on the line.
Well, you want a hand?
You got a big load there, you know?
No, it's all right. I can manage.
-Sure?
-Yeah.
See you later.
Sure. Yeah, yeah.
You wanna tell me about this?
You're keeping secrets from me now?
-Let's just get out of here, man.
-Hey.
Let's go.
Hey, Rosie.
Hey, Jack.
How was your class?
-All right.
-Yeah.
Hey. Hey, Rose?
What do you think you're doing?
Get off.
-I'm not talking to you.
Think about what you're doing, Rose.
You could cause a lot of trouble.
-I'll do what I like, Paul.
-I don't think so.
Yeah. What are you gonna do about it?
Just think about it.
What's he to you?
-He's my cousin.
-So?
So, he reckons he can tell me
how to run my life.
No, he can't.
I know he can't,
but he doesn't know that.
How come he doesn't work?
George does work.
Shifts.
He has rostered days off.
Do you like him?
Why shouldn't I?
Well, he's a loser
and he's got loser's job.
-Katerina.
-It's true.
And Nick thinks he's a big shot
the way he struts around.
Katie, stop it.
Now, I know what you're up to,
but you've got to get it into your head.
Both your father and I
love you very much,
but there is no way,
no way we are ever gonna
get back together again.
You don't care what happens to me.
Of course, I do.
Well, why spend so much time
with a strange family then?
I like my job.
It suits me to stay here
and look after these people.
I rang your father last night.
-Don't you trust me?
-No.
And I have every reason not to trust you.
So, don't act all innocent.
You didn't call him.
He didn't even know you were here.
You jigged school and you lied to me,
you little bugger.
Katerina.
Katie!
Where is she?
Who?
Katerina, man.
She's not here, that's for sure.
Well, she's supposed to be here.
What do you mean
she's supposed to be here?
I gave her a call this morning,
right, and…
-You gave her a call?
-Yeah.
She's supposed to come down, man.
-I'm giving her--
-Hey, hey, hey, hey, wait.
What are you doing, man?
Just take hold of yourself.
Hold yourself together.
What do you mean you gave her a call?
She was home by herself and, you know,
I just thought, you know,
I'd bring her down,
meet the guys, hang out a bit.
This man's crazy.
Hey, just stop, think again.
I don't think so, mate.
You made it?
-I knew you wouldn't let me down.
-How could I refuse?
Now, what do we…
-Hi.
-Hi.
Jodie, this chick
makes the best burgers ever.
You are such a knob.
This is Katerina.
This is Stella's daughter.
-Hi.
-Hi.
She's all right.
Yeah. Look at that.
Is that all you ever think about?
You've got one-track minds.
I'm famous. People around in here,
mate, they respect me.
Got any better music than this?
She's certainly got
some good music around here.
Just take a peek.
So, you're into music?
I like to dance.
Are you any good?
Give me a few years, I might be.
All right. Let's see how good
you are then?
So that's the girl
that's sleeping in your room.
In your bed.
Come on.
Good shot.
I like playing with you.
Mum just used to watch.
Hey, do you miss your mum?
Effie?
Yeah. I miss her more than anything.
I want her back so much.
Hey, I'm sorry.
It's okay. It's not your fault.
I miss my mum, too.
But you've still got her.
Not really.
I'm in boarding school,
I live with my dad the rest of the time.
-You've got my mum.
-You can come and live with us.
-Yeah, sure.
-You can.
Thanks. Hey, do you
wanna hang out together?
We can go to the mall
and get some ice cream.
Let's go.
Great.
What do you want?
You, slope-head.
Hey.
-Nick.
-Is Effie with you?
-Katerina too.
Where have you been?
-Yeah. Where are they?
-Wait, wait a second.
Wait, I was just down at Ruby's.
-What's going on?
-Did you see Katerina or Effie there?
I saw Katerina before,
but that was ages ago.
-Well, they've gone.
-Yes.
-They've gone where?
-We don't know.
They were out there
and now they've gone.
-They've disappeared.
-Didn't they come home?
-No.
-All right.
Did you call the cops?
Yes, and the hospitals, no reports.
-Okay. All right. Give me the car keys.
-Give him the keys.
-We've already done the rounds.
-Give me the car keys.
-Come on.
-Take them.
-Okay. Where will you look now?
-I don't know. I'll just drive
-around the corner or somewhere.
-Hi. Guess where we've been?
Guess.
You, go to your room, now!
Oooh. Sorry, you were worried.
I should've rang.
In future, it's better
if you're gonna be late,
hey, you've got to telephone
so nobody worries.
My God.
-You did this on purpose, didn't you?
-No.
You are something else.
-What's with him?
-You, get to your room, now!
Get out of my way, Paul.
Don't get smart with me, Rose.
Worse things happen.
Worse than what, Paul?
Jack, what's happened to you?
I had an accident.
Yeah, sure, Jack. Tell me, don't lie.
-What? I fell off my bike, honest.
-Don't lie to me, Jack.
Liar.
It's not safe being seen with me.
It's not safe.
Yes. Yes, yes, yes.
You get caught sneaking
out of Rose's window, did you?
What's it to you, man?
Are you trying to start something up?
-Leave it, Nick.
-Why should I?
-Rose wants us to leave it alone.
-Run along, buddy. Run along.
Why, Rose? Is that how you stop 'em--
Look, he got jumped
for being a Viet, right?
You don't know that.
-Yeah?
Why else?
-It doesn't matter, all right?
I don't believe you, man.
Listen, it was an accident, okay?
If they hear anything else
about this, there'll be war.
-If who hears about this?
-His people, Con.
So, it was an accident, okay?
Just leave it.
Okay.
-Hey. How's it going?
-Hi.
-Sorry, I'm late.
-No, it's cool.
I just had to wait till my dad left.
All right. Come to the kitchen,
meet my uncle.
-Jack.
-No, it's cool.
He'll like you. He'll love you.
Come on, let's go.
You wait until you try his cooking.
-Hello.
-Hi.
Uncle Tran, this is Rose Malouf.
-How are you?
-Good, thanks.
-What's up?
-What's he cooking?
Our meal tonight. Dog.
-What?
-Dog.
I'm only kidding.
When we left Vietnam,
we were in the boat for like…
five days.
Yeah, 40 people crammed
onto this little fishing trawler.
Yeah, my dad built it himself.
-We got the whole works, you know?
-Yeah.
Pirates. Not the ones,
you know, with the skulls and…
Yeah.
But this time these pirates,
they came aboard our ship, our boat,
and some of the women were raped.
My uncle, here, in the kitchen,
you know, the one you met, yeah?
He got shot in the leg,
so now he's got this limp for life.
-Yeah?
-Yeah.
Well, anyway,
when we landed in Malaysia,
we got sponsored
by this really nice Christian church
to come over here to Australia.
Wow. I'm glad of that.
Yeah, me too, yeah.
That's why I want
to study hard, you know.
I wanna… I wanna help other people too.
-How?
-Well, I got helped.
My family got helped.
I wanna become a doctor, you know.
I wanna become a doctor.
Hey, Uncle.
Yeah.
Don't worry,
it's not what you think it is.
It's cool. Okay.
Are we eating with those?
Why? You've never used it before?
No.
Give me that. One here.
I'm left-handed.
Are you? Okay.
Okay. You're left-handed.
Okay. You put them here.
Hold on tight.
So, you've come home.
-Yeah.
-Who's out there?
I see.
Jack just took me
to his uncle's restaurant.
-Go to your room.
-No.
I asked you not to go out with him.
Not only did you go out with him,
but you stayed out late.
-We just went out--
-Go to your room.
I would like to have a word
with the boy.
-How'd you get the black eye?
-You know how I got it.
No, I don't know, Jack.
Now, you don't have to believe me,
but you copping a beating
would never be my idea.
No matter what you think of me,
I'm not a thug.
I spent half my life
defending victims of violence.
I would never condone physical abuse.
But unfortunately, this goes
to the heart of the problem.
Look, there are hot-headed
people involved.
When they get crossed, people get hurt.
So is this your threat now?
I'm just asking you to think straight.
This relationship
you're having with my daughter
is gonna cause trouble
to both our communities.
Look, Jack…
I'm asking you, man to man,
please stop seeing my daughter.
I'm sorry.
But I'm not going to stop seeing her.
What?
What?
-What?
-Quiet. I just wanna talk.
Talk about what?
It's the middle of the night.
Right, right. Don't yell, come on.
What do you want?
I don't know.
Everyone hates me
and I don't know what I did wrong.
All right. Well, you ran off with Effie
without saying anything to anyone.
You're lucky my dad didn't throw you
out of the house.
-I'm sorry.
-So you should be.
I'm so sorry, I don't know
why I do these things.
I think you should just go
back to bed, okay?
Yeah. Sure. It's not your problem.
Why should you care?
It's not that, you know. It's just…
-Katerina.
-What?
Are you okay?
Can I come in?
Hey, listen.
No one really hates you.
You know that, don't you?
You don't like me.
Come on. That's not true.
Isn't it?
Well, not all true.
Thanks.
Every time I come near you,
you push me away.
Come on. Don't be like that now.
It's true. It's what happens.
What are you being like that for?
Come on. Just relax. Take it easy.
What are you crying for?
Shh.
Yeah. That's it.
You need to relax a bit, you know.
Just take it easy.
You don't have to be like that.
What's going on here?
-Get off me!
-What?
-Get off me now!
-You're mad.
-Get off me, Nick!
-Are you crazy or something?
-What the hell is your problem?
-What's going on?
-What-- Hey, I didn't do nothing.
-Mom!
-Hey, I didn't touch her.
-What are you doing?
-I didn't touch her.
-He came into my room!
-What are you doing?
-I did not.
-Darling, come here.
-I didn't do anything.
-You little bitch!
-Hey.
You don't speak to her like that!
-I didn't do anything!
-Get out, get out!
Hey, it's not how it looks, okay?
-I didn't…
-Calm down.
She came in here.
She was crying, okay?
I was trying to make the girl feel better.
-She came into your room?
-That's right.
She came in here.
Then how come you ended up in hers?
She was upset, man! She walked out!
What do you want me to do?
Did she invite you into her room?
No, not exactly. But so what?
She was crying, I'm telling you.
She walked out. I followed after her.
I'm disappointed in you.
Why don't you believe me?
Why don't you believe me?
You tell me why she was yelling!
The girl's twisted.
I'm telling you. She's got problems.
-I don't know.
-Well, that's not good enough.
Not good enough?
Let me tell you
what's not good enough, all right?
What's not good enough,
I have to sit here and listen to
all this stuff from you because of her.
That's not good enough.
I'm getting out of here, okay?
I'm not coming back
until she's gone, all right?
-Well, you do believe me, don't you?
-Yeah.
After what I saw at Ruby's, I believe you.
What I wanna know
is why she's doing it?
It's pretty obvious.
Thanks. What is?
She's trying to get Stella to leave.
Why would she wanna do that?
I think she feels threatened.
It's like you're Stella's new family.
She's trying to bust it up, you know.
Make Stella go back to her dad
so they can play "happy families."
Stella does not want to go back, right?
Yeah, I know.
But I can sort of understand
where she's coming from.
Like, I tried to do the same thing
when my parents split.
-What happened?
-Well…
I tried to cause a lot of trouble.
But in the end,
I realized it wasn't working.
My parents would never
get back together, no matter what I did.
Hey, come on.
Let's just change the subject?
I don't wanna think about it anymore.
I'm so embarrassed.
George, you have nothing
to be embarrassed about.
Yes, I have. He is my son.
Well, I'm sure he didn't go too far.
Too far? What are you saying?
He was in your daughter's bedroom.
Well, I guess that's what happens
when you put two teenagers
under the same roof.
I'm sorry. Now, look.
I expect a bit more self-control.
Have you considered that maybe
Katie led him on a bit?
Come off it.
Anyway, you know,
that is not an excuse.
George, you've been very kind
to me and my daughter.
That's nothing.
But we'll be leaving tomorrow.
Hey, listen.
No, you can't.
We can sort this out.
We can sort it out.
We have to go.
You're going without saying goodbye.
Bye.
Rose.
This thing you're having with Jack.
-It's not a thing, Dad.
-Okay.
But, look, what is important
is to remember that there is a difference.
We are different.
No, Dad. We're in Australia.
We're Australians.
We are Lebanese Australians.
It's not possible to deny it, Rose.
But it's not fair.
Why should I stop seeing Jack
if we love each other?
It's not that easy.
Do you love me, Dad?
-Do you?
-Well, you know the answer.
Well, it is that simple.
I wish.
Hi.
Hi.
How's Nick?
He's pretty upset.
He's upset?
Well, he has every right to be,
hasn't he?
I see he's got you wrapped
around his little finger.
-Is anyone home?
-Nope.
Mom's out shopping
and Mr. Poulos's at his loser job.
You've got a real chip
on your shoulder, haven't you?
-Have I?
-Why are you doing this to Nick?
It's so unfair.
And since when has Nick been fair
with you?
I don't know what you mean.
-I mean, how well do you know him?
-Well enough.
Right. So, you don't mind
if he has other girlfriends?
I know what you're trying to do.
Ask him who Susan is.
Susan.
-She's a figment of your imagination.
-Really?
She writes pretty good letters
for someone who doesn't exist.
Are you always like this?
"Nick, I miss your body so much.
No one is as good as you."
It gets better too.
I could show you, if you like.
I don't believe that crap.
But you believe Nick.
Look, that was a pretty recent letter.
Shut up, you little bitch.
Wake up, Jodie,
Nick was in my room last night.
He's even been in the shower with me.
Look, I don't have to take this.
Say hi to Nick for me.
See you.
Nick.
-Did you see her?
-I saw her.
So, what happened?
Who's Susan?
Who?
Susan, the one that misses
your body so much.
-I don't believe this.
-So, who is she?
She's no one. She doesn't even exist.
I'm not so sure about that.
You know, you're being sucked in
by her as well.
She said she'd been
in the shower with you.
-Who, Susan?
-Don't get cute.
Hey, Katerina walked in on me, okay?
Why doesn't anyone believe that?
But she sounded
pretty damn convincing.
She's a liar.
That's right. I told you what she's like.
She's lying.
Well, either she is or you are.
Look. Let me tell you something,
all right?
I know what happened, okay?
You can believe whatever you want,
but I'm in the clear.
Simple.
So, you've never known any Susan
like she says?
Well, yeah. But, you know,
that was a long time ago.
I mean, that was ages ago,
-long before you.
-Shut up.
-I get it.
-I'm telling you the truth.
Hey.
-Hi, Effie.
-Hi.
What are you doing?
Nothing.
What's wrong?
You and Stella are leaving.
Don't worry. We'll come and visit.
It's not fair. Why do you have to leave?
We just have to.
It's all because of my stupid brother.
I hate him.
No, you don't.
I do.
What he did was really bad.
And I never want to talk to him again.
-Can I tell you a secret?
-What?
Promise not to tell anyone?
Yeah.
Just between you and me, okay?
Nick didn't do anything wrong.
But I heard you shouting.
Dad and Stella saw him in your room.
Nick didn't do anything.
I made the whole thing up.
Do you really have to go?
I'm afraid so, darling.
Katie and I need to find
a home of our own.
It's because of what Nick did, isn't it?
No. We just have to go. That's all.
Nick didn't do anything wrong.
I'm afraid he did, Effie.
But he didn't.
I'm not supposed to tell you this,
but Katerina made it all up.
-What?
-She told me.
I was supposed to keep it a secret
but it's not fair.
It's not Nick's fault.
Katerina?
You must be pretty pleased
with yourself.
-Sorry?
-No, I'm sorry.
You had no right to do that!
What are you talking about?
Did you lie about
what happened last night?
-Last night, what?
-Did you? Did you lie?
Effie told me everything!
So, you tell the truth
for once in your life!
Did you lie?
Yes.
How could you?
I didn't mean to hurt anyone.
Well, you have.
You've hurt Mr. Poulos
and Nick and Effie and me.
Why, Katie?
I just wanted us to be…
To be together, that's all.
Don't hate me.
Look. I know you are hurting.
But this is not the way to fix it.
Sorry.
Mom, you do love me, don't you?
Yes, of course, I love you.
Sorry. Can you please forgive me?
I love you.
Gosh, I made a mess of things,
haven't I?
We both have.
What are we gonna do?
I don't know.
It's up to Mr. Poulos now.
Come on, Jodie.
You're punishing me for something
that happened a hundred years ago.
So, why did you keep
Susan's letters then?
I don't know. I just forgot.
Are you gonna thrown them out?
Well?
All right. I'll throw them out, okay?
Whatever you say.
Yeah, do it.
Hey, Nick.
Hey, Dad. What are you doing here?
I've come here to apologize to you.
-What for?
-Katerina,
that stuff that happened last night.
She's admitted it's her fault.
Why'd she do it?
Well, you know, it's complicated.
Maybe she needed some attention
-from her mother.
-Hey, who cares?
I'm an innocent man, right?
I'm an innocent man.
I've been wrongfully accused
and disbelieved by my own girlfriend.
-Anyway, she's apologized.
-All right. Good.
Now, what about you?
What about you?
Yeah, right. I believe you.
Okay. That's what I like to hear.
This is my lucky day.
I'm winning everywhere.
-I'm a winner.
-Well, I'm glad you feel that way.
Hey, sure, I do.
I'm in the clear.
Look, Jodie loves me again.
And that freak from hell
is out of the house and out of my life.
Wrong. She's staying.
What do you mean she's staying?
That's it. She's staying.
What's the rush?
Dad! Wait, I don't think he's home.
What are you doing?
We don't have to rush to do that.
Dad?
No, we'll be fine. Come on.
So, what do you wanna do?
Well, what do you do?
We're alone.
Yes.
So?
So, what's up?
I want us to do it.
Are you sure?
Yeah.
I thought you were.
