Heartbreak High (1994–1999): Season 1, Episode 28 - Episode #1.28 - full transcript
What do you want?
Katerina, come home now.
What are you gonna do if I don't?
I'll call the police.
Is that what you want?
Mom, I'm 17, I can do what I like.
I'm coming in.
-You're not coming in. Mom, you're not…
My God!
You left a perfectly good home
to live in a place like this
with someone like him.
I'm not living with him,
he's a friend.
Now, please get out of here.
-Look, there's something very…
-I don't wanna hear it.
…important I need to tell you.
You will when
-I'll tell you what it is.
-I don't wanna hear it.
Just go!
Hey, Stell.
Pretty heavy?
Kat, don't let her get you down.
My mom used to pick on me too?
No!
Christ!
What is it?
-Used to be eggs.
-It's not your cooking I'm interested in.
-I know.
It's your big brown eyes
and your beautiful, soft personality.
Who was at the door?
What is that smell?
What is this, Rivers?
Ask her.
I never behaved like her
when I was a girl.
Hey, you've just forgotten. That's all.
No, I was a good girl.
My mother would have taken
a strap to me if I behaved like her.
Yeah.
So, what are you gonna do?
I got this letter from Mom in Greece.
One of her teachers has fallen through.
What, so you're gonna be teaching
at the academy?
That's great.
Well, it's not so much the job.
Mom needs me, and I just think
it's the right thing to do.
You don't sound very happy
about it. What's on your mind?
Katerina, right?
If I get her back to Greece,
maybe she'll settle down.
Stella.
Greece.
I hope you're happy now.
Stella's going away forever.
She is not.
-She is so. And do you know why?
Because Katerina doesn't wanna live
with us, and guess whose fault that is?
And what do you want me to do about it?
She's the one that's always starting
the trouble around here, not me.
You're just as bad.
I don't want you to leave.
I really, really don't.
Darling, what's wrong?
Well, maybe your dad will find
a better housekeeper this time?
Hey, Stella.
What if I talk to Katerina?
Calm her down a bit,
tell her to come home?
Think that's a good idea?
I don't think it's that simple, Nick.
She's absolutely smitten
with Peter Rivers.
No, she can't honestly like this guy.
I'm telling you, he's a loser.
Well, look, if she doesn't love him,
why is she acting like this?
Why is she doing it?
I mean, is it something I'm doing wrong?
I mean, is it me?
Is it something I'm doing or saying?
What? Honestly, tell me, what?
Well, sometimes I think you treat her
like a bit of a child.
You know, you order her around
quite a bit.
Maybe you should start
treating her like an adult.
I'd treat her like an adult
if she behaved like one.
Well, that's exactly
what I'm talking about.
You see what I mean?
She might be turning into an adult,
but I am still her mother.
Well…
Hey. Hey, hey, hey, hey.
Hey, listen to this.
"Dear, Steve,
called in to say goodbye to you,
but you weren't here."
"Can you check the mail
for the next few days
to make sure it gets diverted?"
-"Love, Mom."
-Yeah.
She came by last night.
Yeah.
Seventeen years, that's all I get.
Do you ever feel
like just blowing it all up?
Yes, I do. Just, um, you know…
Boom.
A lost dog? Not for me.
Go on, get!
Yeah!
Yeah! Whoo! Yes! Yes!
Whoo! Whoo!
Katerina.
Katerina.
Yes, Nick.
All right.
I know I've been a pain, okay, lately.
But, um, I'll snap out of it, all right?
Just for you.
Lately? Try always.
Hey, if you come home, I promise
you can borrow anything you want.
You can use my room whenever you like.
You can do anything.
Okay?
-Mom put you up to this, didn't she?
No way, no.
We just want you to come home, all right?
We miss you.
I actually enjoy queuing up
for the bathroom.
Nick, I've got a home.
No. That's not your home.
Get off my case, will you?
-I'm sorry, but you are my case.
-Since when?
Look, you didn't want me there
in the first place,
now I've gone, so butt out!
God, I love it when she gets angry.
She's so hot.
Get out of my face.
She's an animal, you know.
Hey, Kat. I've been thinking.
Did it hurt?
No, I've been thinking, you're probably
pretty uncomfortable on the couch.
No.
What I'm saying is,
you'd probably be more comfortable with,
you know, sleeping with me.
I know that's what you're saying.
Well, that was the deal, wasn't it,
you and me?
No. The deal was
you let me stay for a while.
The deal was that
you think about you and me.
Just give me some time, okay?
Okay.
Katerina?
Excuse me.
I want a word with you.
Will you stop following me?
What are you, Columbo?
He's a friend.
-He's an ape.
I can't talk to you.
Listen. There was something
I wanted to tell you this morning,
but you wouldn't listen,
so I'll tell you now.
Okay?
Your grandmother called last night.
She needs us.
Yaya?
She wants us to come
and live with her for a while.
In Athens?
She wants you to help her
run the dance academy.
Just think of the work you could create.
You could be even better than her.
You know it, I know it, Yaya knows it.
Let me get this straight.
Yaya wants me in Athens
to help run a dance school?
Yes.
Sure, Mom.
Katie, I'm not lying.
Look, I might have been a lousy mother,
but I've always told you the truth.
This is real.
We can start over.
-No, no.
-Katerina?
Wait.
What's this?
I don't want it.
If you're going to be living
with the others,
I want you to pay your own way, all right?
No!
Wiley,
get rid of that dog.
But sir…
-No buts.
If I see it again,
I'm gonna call a dog catcher.
Sorry, miss.
You're bad. You're very bad.
-Funny, isn't it?
-What?
How we're always spying on the kids.
Is it because we find their lives
so interesting
compared to our own boring ones?
We do not spy, Yola, we supervise.
And the first thing
we're gonna do is supervise that dog
straight off the school grounds.
Don't! Why?
We're responsible
if it bites someone.
Bites anyone?
It's hardly bigger than a mosquito.
Anyway, it's good for Steve to have a dog.
There's nothing sadder than a school dog.
Everyone owns it, but nobody wants it.
Everyone feeds it,
but nobody's there when it's sick.
It's cruel. Poor little thing.
It's a, um, remote-control car, sir.
My, um, my uncle...
He deals in, um, those sort of things.
Maybe Mom needs it.
I mean, you know,
maybe Gran does want us to
go and stay for a while.
Yeah, yeah. Sure. Or maybe
she's just trying to get you back.
-Have you thought of that?
-Yeah.
Hey, hey, hey.
Wait a minute, wait a minute.
What was that money she gave you for?
Fifty bucks. I'm rich.
What about rent?
-You want me to pay rent?
It's not me,
it's, you know, Steve and Jodie.
Here. That's what it's for.
Cool.
Now, come on you guys.
Hurry up, hurry up. Move it.
Okay. All right. So then,
how come you can be friends with Steve
and not with me?
Those things don't happen overnight,
you know.
I didn't mean to hurt you, Danielle.
I just don't think you should be
wasting your time with someone like me.
You're the best-looking girl
in the school,
you can have any guy you want.
But not you?
Well, what do you want me for, seriously?
I'm dumb. I've got no bloody manners.
I'm an emotional retard, Danielle.
What do you see in me?
Are you okay?
Okay. Go mark your territory. Go.
Rat.
Come here. Hey.
Come here, come on.
Don't piss on Southgate's car.
So, what are we gonna do with you, Nick?
Hey, I was just trying
to do the right thing, okay?
Yeah? Well,
you're going about it all wrong.
Well, I told her I just wanna be friends.
She's not ready to be friends yet.
Okay. So, what am I supposed to do?
-Just ignore her?
-No, don't ignore her.
Just give her some space.
All right. The last thing I want to do
is mess Danielle around, right?
I really like her.
But, you know, there's certain ways
that I feel about Jodie that I can't help.
-Okay?
-Yeah, sure.
So, if that's the way it is,
why did you start
this thing with Danielle?
I don't know.
I mean, you know what Danielle's like.
You know, she's so sweet and considerate
and we just sort of fell together.
I mean, it's one of those things.
But with Jodie, you know,
it's on a totally different level,
it's so much deeper.
You know, she's...
She's got so much energy.
I mean... she's passionate,
loving, she's beautiful.
I love her. From the moment
that she walked in the gate
on the first day, I knew it.
I knew then I loved her.
I'm gonna get back with her.
Just wait and see.
Yup. Fine.
Tomorrow then.
Okay. Bye.
You probably have some trouble
with the natives, but I'll back you up.
Trouble with what?
The dog catcher.
You called a dog catcher?
They'll kill him.
No, they won't. No, he'll go to the pound.
They'll find him a new home.
Sorry. Of course, yeah,
they're not gonna kill her,
they're gonna find it a family.
Where he's really wanted.
Have you asked any of the kids
if they want it?
Yes. No one's come forward yet.
Well, just give them time.
I have. They've got
until lunchtime tomorrow.
But look at him.
No, go on, look, he's cute.
Look.
Rivers.
Yes, Steve.
What can I do you for?
Katerina said she gave us some money
for rent, is that right?
Yeah. She said she wanted
to pay her own way, mate.
But that's not what she said.
You're not trying to rip us off, are you?
-Get real, will you, Steve?
-Did you take money from her?
-I didn't. Get your hands off me.
-I didn't take any...
-Hey, mate.
You've stolen that money from us…
Hey, hey, hey! Shh.
Boys, if Katerina says
that she's paid her own way,
leave it at that.
-Con, he would've hassled that money...
-You are a tosser!
Hey guys, there's no point arguing.
If you want some answers,
just go over there and ask her.
Go and ask her then, Con. Go and ask her.
Look, let's get this straight.
Did you or did you not
pay money to Mr. Rivers
over there for rent?
Yeah?
Yes, I did.
I want to pay my own way.
There we go. That's is settled.
You must be used
to being wrong, Steve?
All right, everybody. Sit down, please.
Hey, no dogs in class.
I just want you to know
that unless somebody takes this little dog
off the school's hands
by lunchtime tomorrow,
it's, um, gonna go to a pound.
What? Pound?
To death row.
-Come on, Rivers.
Is it a pound for him?
Yes, Steve.
-Sir, we'll take it.
Who's we?
Well, myself, Jodie, yeah?
No. I don't want a dog in my house, Steve.
Come on, man.
You already live with three of them.
Well, I hate dogs. It looks like a rat.
You're a bastard.
You're a cool rat, you're a cool rat.
You gonna take this dog?
Yeah, we'll look after it.
Steve, no dogs.
-It's just a dog.
That's settled then. That's settled.
It's not settled at all.
You can't say it's settled. No dogs.
Hey, what are you doing?
What's that?
For me?
No.
For Katerina. Do you like it?
Yeah.
Yeah. It's nice.
I like it.
Hey, can I come in?
Sure.
Is, um, is Katerina here?
I thought you came to see me.
Well, yeah, you know,
I always like to come see you.
But, um…
Do you want a drink?
Okay. Sure.
Um, I heard what you were saying
to Rose in the gym.
-Yeah?
-Yeah.
What? Today?
Well, the thing is,
I don't want a dog in the house.
I mean, you must understand, don't you?
What are you doing here?
Sniffing around Jodie again, are you?
Do you know your mom's
going to Greece?
Sure.
I'm serious.
You ought to think about
what you're doing.
Why?
Well, the question is, do you want
to be stuck with this bozo, or what?
Hey, I heard that, Poulos.
Hey?
Do you really love him?
Yeah.
No, no.
See, there's people you like,
there's people you love,
and there's people you stay away from.
Hey, look, who appointed you
traffic cop of her life anyway?
Mate, am I talking to you?
Why don't you stay out of it?
Why don't you stay out of it, mate?
You're in my house talking about my woman.
All right. Why don't you ask him
what he thinks of you?
Tell her.
That's none of your business, all right?
You don't really love her, do you?
It's none of your business.
-See, there's your answer.
Look, I wouldn't tell you anyway,
all right?
Then what are you putting
your hands on me for?
You want to start something?
-You want to start something?
You're not worth it, buddy.
Let's get something straight.
I'm not going anywhere,
so why don't you go home
like a good little boy
and tell my mom
to stop spying on me, okay?
Yeah. Be a good boy, Nick.
-Ew.
-Okay.
Effie told me to give you this.
-Here's your drink.
-Hey.
I can't stay. I got to go.
Sorry.
I'll talk to you later.
Two, three, four,
five, six, seven, eight.
One, two, three, four,
five, six, seven, eight.
One, two, three, four,
five, six, seven, eight.
One, two, three, four,
five, six, seven, eight.
One, two, three, four,
five, six, seven, eight.
How long have you been there?
Long enough.
Well, I thought you were at Ruby's.
I was.
It's time, Kat.
Is that all you want from me? Sex?
Bloody Poulos.
Look, he doesn't know anything, okay?
Hey, Katerina.
Hey.
-Are you okay?
-Yeah.
Listen, can I ask you something,
just between you and me?
Yeah.
-You and Nick were in love, right? Yeah?
-Yeah.
Was that why you guys…
you know, did it, or did love come after?
No. We were definitely in love.
But there was one guy before Nick,
and that was definitely just lust.
Do you regret doing it with him?
Well, I just did
what felt right at the time.
Yeah, and I still feel good about it.
Well, how do you know before
if it's right or not?
Well, you don't.
You just got to follow your senses.
Thanks.
-See you.
Yeah, see you.
Sir.
Steve.
I was wondering
about this dog catcher thing.
Yes.
Well, I was hoping
maybe we could put it off…
It's a health hazard, Steve.
Come on, sir, please.
No extensions.
I hear it's been sleeping
in the school canteen.
You know, it's a nuisance.
If no one could find it a home, you know,
sometimes you have to be cruel to be kind.
It might be better off…
-What? Better off dead?
-No, no. They'll find it another home.
Peter, Pete.
-Hey, man.
-Forget it, Steve.
Forget it, mate.
-Come on, Pete. Please.
No, look. When we moved in,
we agreed that all decisions
would be unanimous, okay?
What, like when you conned 50 bucks
from Katerina for rent?
That's different, okay?
-Look, I hate dogs, and dogs hate me.
-Come on, man.
Rat doesn't hate you. He doesn't, look.
Rat?
Come on, man. Look,
if we don't take it, they'll kill it!
Peter, come on, man, please.
Please?
It hates me. No way.
-What's not to hate?
-She doesn't want to go.
Tell you, blew your chance there.
-It's got nothing to do with me.
-It has. It's your fault.
You found a home for that dog yet?
Rivers?
Not in my house, sir.
Boo! Come on, Rivers, mate.
Give me the dog.
-Boo!
Please, sir.
Please, I'll find a home for it.
Sir, at least let me take the cage.
Let him take it.
Come on.
All right, Ratty boy.
He's a little mongrel.
He's better off dead.
Good boy.
This way.
Give back the dog, Bordino!
Back down there.
It's over.
Get that dog.
All right. I'll take that, thank you.
Hey.
-All right, that's enough.
-Okay. I'll take the mutt.
-Thank you.
-Out the window.
Don't let them get it, man.
Out the window! You're hopeless.
Thank you, Bill. I'll take over here.
It's all under control, Jim.
I'm good with animals, Bill.
It's all right. I've got the dog, Jim.
It's under control.
Let go, Bill.
Right.
You've killed that dog, you know that?
What did I do?
What did I do?
Hi.
-Hi.
Thanks for the present.
It was beautiful.
That's okay.
Have you come home?
No.
-Why not?
-I can't.
You'll understand
when you're bigger, okay?
I want to understand now.
-Don't you love Stella?
-Yeah, of course.
You don't act like you do.
She treats me like a kid, all right?
-It's sad.
-What?
I'd give anything to have Mom back,
to see her, to talk to her.
You've still got your mom,
and you treat her like she was dead.
-Hey, that's not true.
-Isn't it?
Come back home. Make things
the way they used to be. Please.
No, I can't. I got to go, all right?
Coming.
Hi, is Steve in?
No, do you want to hang out and wait?
Yeah. Okay. Thanks.
Okay. What's up, Steve?
Nothing.
-We had to get rid of it, you know that.
-No, I don't know that.
But that doesn't matter, does it?
Well, you better tell me, Steve.
What is it that you want me to tell you?
You better tell me.
Whatever it is, it's breaking you.
It's more than just a dog, isn't it?
It's, um…
It's my parents.
What about them?
Um…
Um…
Well, is it because
they're getting a divorce?
No. Um, they're not my parents.
They told me I was adopted.
Nice one, wasn't it?
And I feel...
I feel like that stupid little dog...
that nobody wants,
and I don't belong to anyone.
I can't stand it.
Sorry.
Did he say
what time he was coming back?
Who knows?
Who cares?
What's wrong, Danni?
You've been looking a bit fragile lately.
Yeah.
-What are you doing?
-Nothing.
-Don't, please.
-Why not?
-I'm confused.
-I'm not.
What are we doing?
What about Katerina?
-Yeah. What about her?
Good one, Rivers.
You know, there's one thing
I've learned over the years, Steve.
-Yeah? What's that?
-Life's a bitch.
Sometimes it's just one damn thing
after another coming to knock you down.
The trick is to keep getting up.
And if you don't get up?
Then you stop being a man,
you become a doormat.
You look worse than that dumb dog.
See you later.
Yep. Life's a bitch.
Is that you, Rat. G'day, mate!
How are you? Come here.
How are you, buddy?
There's one other thing, Steve.
I'm setting Rivers
a special biology assignment.
He needs to study that dog's
daily habits for the next year,
and I'll be testing him on it,
so you tell him
he'd better not fail, okay?
Okay. I'll tell him.
Hiya, mate.
You see, I don't want her
to make the same mistakes I did.
Children see how their parents live
and copy them.
Underneath all that bravado,
she's just a baby.
She's my little girl.
Come on.
- Come on. Let's go.
-Where?
Well, if the mountain's not gonna come
to Mohammed,
let's go to the mountain.
Get your coat. Come on.
I don't want Danielle, I want you.
You know that, don't you?
-Yeah.
-Don't you?
-Don't.
-Why?
No. Stop it.
No. It's right.
No.
-What?
No!
What is it? Is it me?
Then what?
-I'm a virgin.
-What?
I'm a virgin, okay?
Well, why did you move in with me then?
I didn't move in with you, I moved in.
I wanted to get away from Mom.
I wanted to be part of all this.
I wanted to be… I don't know.
I wanted to be cool.
Just don't laugh at me, okay?
I just didn't know you were the "V" word.
I'm sorry, all right?
Me too.
I think I'll go for a walk
and find myself a cold shower somewhere.
It's not a crime being a virgin,
even I was…
once.
-She's gonna hate this.
-Okay.
She's gonna hate it, so what?
Katie?
One, two, three, four,
five, six, seven, eight.
One, two, three, four,
five, six, seven, eight.
One, two, three, four,
five, six, seven, eight.
One, two, three, four,
five, six, seven, eight.
-I think I should go, okay?
-One, two, three, four, five, six,
seven, eight.
One, two, three, four,
five, six, seven, eight.
One, two, three, four,
five, six, seven, eight.
One, two, three, four,
five, six, seven, eight.
One, two, three, four,
five, six, seven, eight.
One, two, three, four,
five, six, seven, eight.
One, two, three, four,
five, six, seven, eight.
One, two, three, four,
five, six, seven, eight.
Hi.
Hi.
Need to talk to an old friend?
How about you?
Yeah.
I kissed Rivers.
You what?
I kissed Rivers.
I don't even like him.
I hate his guts.
I don't know why I let him kiss me,
he's gross.
Dan, don't worry about it, all right?
Rivers is good at
taking advantage of people.
You're not planning on taking it further,
are you?
No way.
Then forget about it.
We all do dumb things.
I do dumb things. You do dumb things.
Hey, this is really stupid.
We're getting on better as friends
than we were when we were going out.
Yeah, I know.
Speaking of friends,
you're not gonna believe this. But…
-Southgate bought me a present.
-Southgate bought you a present?
Yes.
Look at this, man's best friend.
Rat.
How did you get him in here?
Keep quiet. Keep it down.
Come in.
Con's on his way.
I'll take the bags.
Thanks, George.
There you go.
There's something I have tell you, Stella.
I would like to say something to you.
-Please let me finish.
When Irini died,
there were times
I didn't think I'd make it.
Without you, I don't think I would have.
Is there something else?
Ever since that night we danced together,
my feelings…
You've become fond of me.
I love you, Stella.
Come here.
George.
Maybe I'll see you sometime.
Greece is only 20 hours away.
Stella.
They're beautiful.
Hey.
Are you gonna write?
Yeah.
-Promise?
-Yeah.
I'm gonna miss you, Effie.
Me too.
And another thing, okay?
You take care of Dad and Nick for me.
They're only men.
-Okay.
-I love you.
This is it.
Yeah, this is it.
Listen, Nick,
I know I've caused a few hassles,
but I'm glad I met you, okay?
And I wanna be friends.
What?
You think that just does it?
You think you can come around here,
making all this trouble,
and you come and apologize,
and put your cute little smile on,
and you want me to forgive you?
I said I was sorry.
Maybe that's not enough?
Are you ready, people? Let's go?
Let's get this party happening.
Hey, come on. Open up the boot.
Get your stuff together.
-Here, this is the last one. That's it.
-Okay. There we go. Here we are.
That's it.
You be good, okay?
-Okay.
-Got everything? Hey?
All right. Get your belts on.
Yeah.
-All right. Let's get out of here.
Come on.
-Let's not miss the plane.
Whoo! Got everything?
-Yeah.
All right.
Kat, wait!
Kat, no!
Hey, get off the car.
Stupid girl. No respect.
What's wrong with her? She's insane.
I just came to say I'm sorry…
and goodbye.
I'm gonna miss you.
I'm gonna miss you too.
Katie.
Come on.
Cut it out.
See you.
Take care?
Come on, Katie,
we'll miss the plane.
-You okay?
-Yeah.
Hey, there's a plane to catch, mate.
Let's go.
Katerina, come home now.
What are you gonna do if I don't?
I'll call the police.
Is that what you want?
Mom, I'm 17, I can do what I like.
I'm coming in.
-You're not coming in. Mom, you're not…
My God!
You left a perfectly good home
to live in a place like this
with someone like him.
I'm not living with him,
he's a friend.
Now, please get out of here.
-Look, there's something very…
-I don't wanna hear it.
…important I need to tell you.
You will when
-I'll tell you what it is.
-I don't wanna hear it.
Just go!
Hey, Stell.
Pretty heavy?
Kat, don't let her get you down.
My mom used to pick on me too?
No!
Christ!
What is it?
-Used to be eggs.
-It's not your cooking I'm interested in.
-I know.
It's your big brown eyes
and your beautiful, soft personality.
Who was at the door?
What is that smell?
What is this, Rivers?
Ask her.
I never behaved like her
when I was a girl.
Hey, you've just forgotten. That's all.
No, I was a good girl.
My mother would have taken
a strap to me if I behaved like her.
Yeah.
So, what are you gonna do?
I got this letter from Mom in Greece.
One of her teachers has fallen through.
What, so you're gonna be teaching
at the academy?
That's great.
Well, it's not so much the job.
Mom needs me, and I just think
it's the right thing to do.
You don't sound very happy
about it. What's on your mind?
Katerina, right?
If I get her back to Greece,
maybe she'll settle down.
Stella.
Greece.
I hope you're happy now.
Stella's going away forever.
She is not.
-She is so. And do you know why?
Because Katerina doesn't wanna live
with us, and guess whose fault that is?
And what do you want me to do about it?
She's the one that's always starting
the trouble around here, not me.
You're just as bad.
I don't want you to leave.
I really, really don't.
Darling, what's wrong?
Well, maybe your dad will find
a better housekeeper this time?
Hey, Stella.
What if I talk to Katerina?
Calm her down a bit,
tell her to come home?
Think that's a good idea?
I don't think it's that simple, Nick.
She's absolutely smitten
with Peter Rivers.
No, she can't honestly like this guy.
I'm telling you, he's a loser.
Well, look, if she doesn't love him,
why is she acting like this?
Why is she doing it?
I mean, is it something I'm doing wrong?
I mean, is it me?
Is it something I'm doing or saying?
What? Honestly, tell me, what?
Well, sometimes I think you treat her
like a bit of a child.
You know, you order her around
quite a bit.
Maybe you should start
treating her like an adult.
I'd treat her like an adult
if she behaved like one.
Well, that's exactly
what I'm talking about.
You see what I mean?
She might be turning into an adult,
but I am still her mother.
Well…
Hey. Hey, hey, hey, hey.
Hey, listen to this.
"Dear, Steve,
called in to say goodbye to you,
but you weren't here."
"Can you check the mail
for the next few days
to make sure it gets diverted?"
-"Love, Mom."
-Yeah.
She came by last night.
Yeah.
Seventeen years, that's all I get.
Do you ever feel
like just blowing it all up?
Yes, I do. Just, um, you know…
Boom.
A lost dog? Not for me.
Go on, get!
Yeah!
Yeah! Whoo! Yes! Yes!
Whoo! Whoo!
Katerina.
Katerina.
Yes, Nick.
All right.
I know I've been a pain, okay, lately.
But, um, I'll snap out of it, all right?
Just for you.
Lately? Try always.
Hey, if you come home, I promise
you can borrow anything you want.
You can use my room whenever you like.
You can do anything.
Okay?
-Mom put you up to this, didn't she?
No way, no.
We just want you to come home, all right?
We miss you.
I actually enjoy queuing up
for the bathroom.
Nick, I've got a home.
No. That's not your home.
Get off my case, will you?
-I'm sorry, but you are my case.
-Since when?
Look, you didn't want me there
in the first place,
now I've gone, so butt out!
God, I love it when she gets angry.
She's so hot.
Get out of my face.
She's an animal, you know.
Hey, Kat. I've been thinking.
Did it hurt?
No, I've been thinking, you're probably
pretty uncomfortable on the couch.
No.
What I'm saying is,
you'd probably be more comfortable with,
you know, sleeping with me.
I know that's what you're saying.
Well, that was the deal, wasn't it,
you and me?
No. The deal was
you let me stay for a while.
The deal was that
you think about you and me.
Just give me some time, okay?
Okay.
Katerina?
Excuse me.
I want a word with you.
Will you stop following me?
What are you, Columbo?
He's a friend.
-He's an ape.
I can't talk to you.
Listen. There was something
I wanted to tell you this morning,
but you wouldn't listen,
so I'll tell you now.
Okay?
Your grandmother called last night.
She needs us.
Yaya?
She wants us to come
and live with her for a while.
In Athens?
She wants you to help her
run the dance academy.
Just think of the work you could create.
You could be even better than her.
You know it, I know it, Yaya knows it.
Let me get this straight.
Yaya wants me in Athens
to help run a dance school?
Yes.
Sure, Mom.
Katie, I'm not lying.
Look, I might have been a lousy mother,
but I've always told you the truth.
This is real.
We can start over.
-No, no.
-Katerina?
Wait.
What's this?
I don't want it.
If you're going to be living
with the others,
I want you to pay your own way, all right?
No!
Wiley,
get rid of that dog.
But sir…
-No buts.
If I see it again,
I'm gonna call a dog catcher.
Sorry, miss.
You're bad. You're very bad.
-Funny, isn't it?
-What?
How we're always spying on the kids.
Is it because we find their lives
so interesting
compared to our own boring ones?
We do not spy, Yola, we supervise.
And the first thing
we're gonna do is supervise that dog
straight off the school grounds.
Don't! Why?
We're responsible
if it bites someone.
Bites anyone?
It's hardly bigger than a mosquito.
Anyway, it's good for Steve to have a dog.
There's nothing sadder than a school dog.
Everyone owns it, but nobody wants it.
Everyone feeds it,
but nobody's there when it's sick.
It's cruel. Poor little thing.
It's a, um, remote-control car, sir.
My, um, my uncle...
He deals in, um, those sort of things.
Maybe Mom needs it.
I mean, you know,
maybe Gran does want us to
go and stay for a while.
Yeah, yeah. Sure. Or maybe
she's just trying to get you back.
-Have you thought of that?
-Yeah.
Hey, hey, hey.
Wait a minute, wait a minute.
What was that money she gave you for?
Fifty bucks. I'm rich.
What about rent?
-You want me to pay rent?
It's not me,
it's, you know, Steve and Jodie.
Here. That's what it's for.
Cool.
Now, come on you guys.
Hurry up, hurry up. Move it.
Okay. All right. So then,
how come you can be friends with Steve
and not with me?
Those things don't happen overnight,
you know.
I didn't mean to hurt you, Danielle.
I just don't think you should be
wasting your time with someone like me.
You're the best-looking girl
in the school,
you can have any guy you want.
But not you?
Well, what do you want me for, seriously?
I'm dumb. I've got no bloody manners.
I'm an emotional retard, Danielle.
What do you see in me?
Are you okay?
Okay. Go mark your territory. Go.
Rat.
Come here. Hey.
Come here, come on.
Don't piss on Southgate's car.
So, what are we gonna do with you, Nick?
Hey, I was just trying
to do the right thing, okay?
Yeah? Well,
you're going about it all wrong.
Well, I told her I just wanna be friends.
She's not ready to be friends yet.
Okay. So, what am I supposed to do?
-Just ignore her?
-No, don't ignore her.
Just give her some space.
All right. The last thing I want to do
is mess Danielle around, right?
I really like her.
But, you know, there's certain ways
that I feel about Jodie that I can't help.
-Okay?
-Yeah, sure.
So, if that's the way it is,
why did you start
this thing with Danielle?
I don't know.
I mean, you know what Danielle's like.
You know, she's so sweet and considerate
and we just sort of fell together.
I mean, it's one of those things.
But with Jodie, you know,
it's on a totally different level,
it's so much deeper.
You know, she's...
She's got so much energy.
I mean... she's passionate,
loving, she's beautiful.
I love her. From the moment
that she walked in the gate
on the first day, I knew it.
I knew then I loved her.
I'm gonna get back with her.
Just wait and see.
Yup. Fine.
Tomorrow then.
Okay. Bye.
You probably have some trouble
with the natives, but I'll back you up.
Trouble with what?
The dog catcher.
You called a dog catcher?
They'll kill him.
No, they won't. No, he'll go to the pound.
They'll find him a new home.
Sorry. Of course, yeah,
they're not gonna kill her,
they're gonna find it a family.
Where he's really wanted.
Have you asked any of the kids
if they want it?
Yes. No one's come forward yet.
Well, just give them time.
I have. They've got
until lunchtime tomorrow.
But look at him.
No, go on, look, he's cute.
Look.
Rivers.
Yes, Steve.
What can I do you for?
Katerina said she gave us some money
for rent, is that right?
Yeah. She said she wanted
to pay her own way, mate.
But that's not what she said.
You're not trying to rip us off, are you?
-Get real, will you, Steve?
-Did you take money from her?
-I didn't. Get your hands off me.
-I didn't take any...
-Hey, mate.
You've stolen that money from us…
Hey, hey, hey! Shh.
Boys, if Katerina says
that she's paid her own way,
leave it at that.
-Con, he would've hassled that money...
-You are a tosser!
Hey guys, there's no point arguing.
If you want some answers,
just go over there and ask her.
Go and ask her then, Con. Go and ask her.
Look, let's get this straight.
Did you or did you not
pay money to Mr. Rivers
over there for rent?
Yeah?
Yes, I did.
I want to pay my own way.
There we go. That's is settled.
You must be used
to being wrong, Steve?
All right, everybody. Sit down, please.
Hey, no dogs in class.
I just want you to know
that unless somebody takes this little dog
off the school's hands
by lunchtime tomorrow,
it's, um, gonna go to a pound.
What? Pound?
To death row.
-Come on, Rivers.
Is it a pound for him?
Yes, Steve.
-Sir, we'll take it.
Who's we?
Well, myself, Jodie, yeah?
No. I don't want a dog in my house, Steve.
Come on, man.
You already live with three of them.
Well, I hate dogs. It looks like a rat.
You're a bastard.
You're a cool rat, you're a cool rat.
You gonna take this dog?
Yeah, we'll look after it.
Steve, no dogs.
-It's just a dog.
That's settled then. That's settled.
It's not settled at all.
You can't say it's settled. No dogs.
Hey, what are you doing?
What's that?
For me?
No.
For Katerina. Do you like it?
Yeah.
Yeah. It's nice.
I like it.
Hey, can I come in?
Sure.
Is, um, is Katerina here?
I thought you came to see me.
Well, yeah, you know,
I always like to come see you.
But, um…
Do you want a drink?
Okay. Sure.
Um, I heard what you were saying
to Rose in the gym.
-Yeah?
-Yeah.
What? Today?
Well, the thing is,
I don't want a dog in the house.
I mean, you must understand, don't you?
What are you doing here?
Sniffing around Jodie again, are you?
Do you know your mom's
going to Greece?
Sure.
I'm serious.
You ought to think about
what you're doing.
Why?
Well, the question is, do you want
to be stuck with this bozo, or what?
Hey, I heard that, Poulos.
Hey?
Do you really love him?
Yeah.
No, no.
See, there's people you like,
there's people you love,
and there's people you stay away from.
Hey, look, who appointed you
traffic cop of her life anyway?
Mate, am I talking to you?
Why don't you stay out of it?
Why don't you stay out of it, mate?
You're in my house talking about my woman.
All right. Why don't you ask him
what he thinks of you?
Tell her.
That's none of your business, all right?
You don't really love her, do you?
It's none of your business.
-See, there's your answer.
Look, I wouldn't tell you anyway,
all right?
Then what are you putting
your hands on me for?
You want to start something?
-You want to start something?
You're not worth it, buddy.
Let's get something straight.
I'm not going anywhere,
so why don't you go home
like a good little boy
and tell my mom
to stop spying on me, okay?
Yeah. Be a good boy, Nick.
-Ew.
-Okay.
Effie told me to give you this.
-Here's your drink.
-Hey.
I can't stay. I got to go.
Sorry.
I'll talk to you later.
Two, three, four,
five, six, seven, eight.
One, two, three, four,
five, six, seven, eight.
One, two, three, four,
five, six, seven, eight.
One, two, three, four,
five, six, seven, eight.
One, two, three, four,
five, six, seven, eight.
How long have you been there?
Long enough.
Well, I thought you were at Ruby's.
I was.
It's time, Kat.
Is that all you want from me? Sex?
Bloody Poulos.
Look, he doesn't know anything, okay?
Hey, Katerina.
Hey.
-Are you okay?
-Yeah.
Listen, can I ask you something,
just between you and me?
Yeah.
-You and Nick were in love, right? Yeah?
-Yeah.
Was that why you guys…
you know, did it, or did love come after?
No. We were definitely in love.
But there was one guy before Nick,
and that was definitely just lust.
Do you regret doing it with him?
Well, I just did
what felt right at the time.
Yeah, and I still feel good about it.
Well, how do you know before
if it's right or not?
Well, you don't.
You just got to follow your senses.
Thanks.
-See you.
Yeah, see you.
Sir.
Steve.
I was wondering
about this dog catcher thing.
Yes.
Well, I was hoping
maybe we could put it off…
It's a health hazard, Steve.
Come on, sir, please.
No extensions.
I hear it's been sleeping
in the school canteen.
You know, it's a nuisance.
If no one could find it a home, you know,
sometimes you have to be cruel to be kind.
It might be better off…
-What? Better off dead?
-No, no. They'll find it another home.
Peter, Pete.
-Hey, man.
-Forget it, Steve.
Forget it, mate.
-Come on, Pete. Please.
No, look. When we moved in,
we agreed that all decisions
would be unanimous, okay?
What, like when you conned 50 bucks
from Katerina for rent?
That's different, okay?
-Look, I hate dogs, and dogs hate me.
-Come on, man.
Rat doesn't hate you. He doesn't, look.
Rat?
Come on, man. Look,
if we don't take it, they'll kill it!
Peter, come on, man, please.
Please?
It hates me. No way.
-What's not to hate?
-She doesn't want to go.
Tell you, blew your chance there.
-It's got nothing to do with me.
-It has. It's your fault.
You found a home for that dog yet?
Rivers?
Not in my house, sir.
Boo! Come on, Rivers, mate.
Give me the dog.
-Boo!
Please, sir.
Please, I'll find a home for it.
Sir, at least let me take the cage.
Let him take it.
Come on.
All right, Ratty boy.
He's a little mongrel.
He's better off dead.
Good boy.
This way.
Give back the dog, Bordino!
Back down there.
It's over.
Get that dog.
All right. I'll take that, thank you.
Hey.
-All right, that's enough.
-Okay. I'll take the mutt.
-Thank you.
-Out the window.
Don't let them get it, man.
Out the window! You're hopeless.
Thank you, Bill. I'll take over here.
It's all under control, Jim.
I'm good with animals, Bill.
It's all right. I've got the dog, Jim.
It's under control.
Let go, Bill.
Right.
You've killed that dog, you know that?
What did I do?
What did I do?
Hi.
-Hi.
Thanks for the present.
It was beautiful.
That's okay.
Have you come home?
No.
-Why not?
-I can't.
You'll understand
when you're bigger, okay?
I want to understand now.
-Don't you love Stella?
-Yeah, of course.
You don't act like you do.
She treats me like a kid, all right?
-It's sad.
-What?
I'd give anything to have Mom back,
to see her, to talk to her.
You've still got your mom,
and you treat her like she was dead.
-Hey, that's not true.
-Isn't it?
Come back home. Make things
the way they used to be. Please.
No, I can't. I got to go, all right?
Coming.
Hi, is Steve in?
No, do you want to hang out and wait?
Yeah. Okay. Thanks.
Okay. What's up, Steve?
Nothing.
-We had to get rid of it, you know that.
-No, I don't know that.
But that doesn't matter, does it?
Well, you better tell me, Steve.
What is it that you want me to tell you?
You better tell me.
Whatever it is, it's breaking you.
It's more than just a dog, isn't it?
It's, um…
It's my parents.
What about them?
Um…
Um…
Well, is it because
they're getting a divorce?
No. Um, they're not my parents.
They told me I was adopted.
Nice one, wasn't it?
And I feel...
I feel like that stupid little dog...
that nobody wants,
and I don't belong to anyone.
I can't stand it.
Sorry.
Did he say
what time he was coming back?
Who knows?
Who cares?
What's wrong, Danni?
You've been looking a bit fragile lately.
Yeah.
-What are you doing?
-Nothing.
-Don't, please.
-Why not?
-I'm confused.
-I'm not.
What are we doing?
What about Katerina?
-Yeah. What about her?
Good one, Rivers.
You know, there's one thing
I've learned over the years, Steve.
-Yeah? What's that?
-Life's a bitch.
Sometimes it's just one damn thing
after another coming to knock you down.
The trick is to keep getting up.
And if you don't get up?
Then you stop being a man,
you become a doormat.
You look worse than that dumb dog.
See you later.
Yep. Life's a bitch.
Is that you, Rat. G'day, mate!
How are you? Come here.
How are you, buddy?
There's one other thing, Steve.
I'm setting Rivers
a special biology assignment.
He needs to study that dog's
daily habits for the next year,
and I'll be testing him on it,
so you tell him
he'd better not fail, okay?
Okay. I'll tell him.
Hiya, mate.
You see, I don't want her
to make the same mistakes I did.
Children see how their parents live
and copy them.
Underneath all that bravado,
she's just a baby.
She's my little girl.
Come on.
- Come on. Let's go.
-Where?
Well, if the mountain's not gonna come
to Mohammed,
let's go to the mountain.
Get your coat. Come on.
I don't want Danielle, I want you.
You know that, don't you?
-Yeah.
-Don't you?
-Don't.
-Why?
No. Stop it.
No. It's right.
No.
-What?
No!
What is it? Is it me?
Then what?
-I'm a virgin.
-What?
I'm a virgin, okay?
Well, why did you move in with me then?
I didn't move in with you, I moved in.
I wanted to get away from Mom.
I wanted to be part of all this.
I wanted to be… I don't know.
I wanted to be cool.
Just don't laugh at me, okay?
I just didn't know you were the "V" word.
I'm sorry, all right?
Me too.
I think I'll go for a walk
and find myself a cold shower somewhere.
It's not a crime being a virgin,
even I was…
once.
-She's gonna hate this.
-Okay.
She's gonna hate it, so what?
Katie?
One, two, three, four,
five, six, seven, eight.
One, two, three, four,
five, six, seven, eight.
One, two, three, four,
five, six, seven, eight.
One, two, three, four,
five, six, seven, eight.
-I think I should go, okay?
-One, two, three, four, five, six,
seven, eight.
One, two, three, four,
five, six, seven, eight.
One, two, three, four,
five, six, seven, eight.
One, two, three, four,
five, six, seven, eight.
One, two, three, four,
five, six, seven, eight.
One, two, three, four,
five, six, seven, eight.
One, two, three, four,
five, six, seven, eight.
One, two, three, four,
five, six, seven, eight.
Hi.
Hi.
Need to talk to an old friend?
How about you?
Yeah.
I kissed Rivers.
You what?
I kissed Rivers.
I don't even like him.
I hate his guts.
I don't know why I let him kiss me,
he's gross.
Dan, don't worry about it, all right?
Rivers is good at
taking advantage of people.
You're not planning on taking it further,
are you?
No way.
Then forget about it.
We all do dumb things.
I do dumb things. You do dumb things.
Hey, this is really stupid.
We're getting on better as friends
than we were when we were going out.
Yeah, I know.
Speaking of friends,
you're not gonna believe this. But…
-Southgate bought me a present.
-Southgate bought you a present?
Yes.
Look at this, man's best friend.
Rat.
How did you get him in here?
Keep quiet. Keep it down.
Come in.
Con's on his way.
I'll take the bags.
Thanks, George.
There you go.
There's something I have tell you, Stella.
I would like to say something to you.
-Please let me finish.
When Irini died,
there were times
I didn't think I'd make it.
Without you, I don't think I would have.
Is there something else?
Ever since that night we danced together,
my feelings…
You've become fond of me.
I love you, Stella.
Come here.
George.
Maybe I'll see you sometime.
Greece is only 20 hours away.
Stella.
They're beautiful.
Hey.
Are you gonna write?
Yeah.
-Promise?
-Yeah.
I'm gonna miss you, Effie.
Me too.
And another thing, okay?
You take care of Dad and Nick for me.
They're only men.
-Okay.
-I love you.
This is it.
Yeah, this is it.
Listen, Nick,
I know I've caused a few hassles,
but I'm glad I met you, okay?
And I wanna be friends.
What?
You think that just does it?
You think you can come around here,
making all this trouble,
and you come and apologize,
and put your cute little smile on,
and you want me to forgive you?
I said I was sorry.
Maybe that's not enough?
Are you ready, people? Let's go?
Let's get this party happening.
Hey, come on. Open up the boot.
Get your stuff together.
-Here, this is the last one. That's it.
-Okay. There we go. Here we are.
That's it.
You be good, okay?
-Okay.
-Got everything? Hey?
All right. Get your belts on.
Yeah.
-All right. Let's get out of here.
Come on.
-Let's not miss the plane.
Whoo! Got everything?
-Yeah.
All right.
Kat, wait!
Kat, no!
Hey, get off the car.
Stupid girl. No respect.
What's wrong with her? She's insane.
I just came to say I'm sorry…
and goodbye.
I'm gonna miss you.
I'm gonna miss you too.
Katie.
Come on.
Cut it out.
See you.
Take care?
Come on, Katie,
we'll miss the plane.
-You okay?
-Yeah.
Hey, there's a plane to catch, mate.
Let's go.
