The Heights (2018–…): Season 1, Episode 7 - Episode #1.7 - full transcript
Previously on The Heights...
You... your mum sells fireworks?
Yeah, when she can get them.
You didn't get these from me.
Beanie!
Hey, babe.
This is Dane, Sarah,
Megan, Alistair, Tris.
No, no, no, no, wait, wait, wait.
Yeah!
I can issue with a fine for $1,000
or he can tell me the truth.
Start talking.
Mum! Get out!
You don't just dive
into bed with some boy
without knowing the risks.
Some boy? Dane and I have
been together for six months.
Doesn't matter.
What you did last night is serious,
and can have serious consequences.
Let's go.
The kids are building a cubby!
Are you talking to me?
Yeah, yeah, I'm coming in.
We've got seven, eight minutes.
We could do it twice.
Ow!
What's happened?
This thing just came off on my head!
Oh, yeah, sorry. No, I'll fix that.
No, don't bother.
Oh, no, it's just
the thread's worn out.
Yeah, like everything else
in this house.
Oh, no, no, no, Renee.
It'll take two secs.
Hey, come on.
We're not idiots.
We're using condoms.
Oh, that's something at least.
And I've already done
a ton of research online.
Yeah, not the same as talking
to a health professional.
She'll be able to outline
some options, like implants.
A LARC. I know.
Long acting
reversible contraceptive.
Like Implanon.
A little rod you inject into the arm
which releases a low dose
of a hormone which doesn't interact
with my anti-cholinergic medication.
I'm considering it.
Overnight you become the resident
expert on sexual health.
It's not overnight.
Dane and I started having sex
weeks ago.
What?
- Weeks?
- Sabine?
You never said...
Claudia, is it?
He's really going for it again, hey?
Poor kid.
Still pissed about the fireworks?
You win some, you lose some.
Get over it.
Shouldn't you be at work?
You do a morning shift today,
don't you?
Um, yeah, yeah.
They changed my roster.
Do you still have
the same number of hours?
Not... not exactly.
Well, it's not fair
if they cut your hours.
You have rights.
Do you want me to call your manager?
I don't think that's gonna help.
It's worth a try.
They fired me.
Wait, what for?
They found out I was using my
discount card and on-selling stuff.
They can fire you for that?
Apparently.
It's in the employee agreement.
Can you appeal?
I don't think that's
how these things work.
But Kamran, this is terrible.
I know. I'm sorry.
Wait. How did they know
you were on-selling?
It's a mystery.
This wall.
This wall is all I've got.
It's... it's like an island
in a sea of disrepair.
Oh, come on, it's not that bad.
Those floorboards are popping up.
Well, I need to get
to the joists to fix those.
This kitchen makes me
want to call my high school boyfriend
and ask him if he's single.
I thought you said that guy
turned out gay.
Yeah, well, he probably
has light switches that work.
Well, no, a sparky
needs to fix those.
It's just excuses, Mark.
Seriously, you were supposed to have
finished these renovations
a year ago and here we are.
We're... we're still living
in a building site.
OK, what about these?
Even you could hang some
light fixtures, couldn't you?
Oh, come on, I'm getting onto it.
No, I'm sick of... I'm sick of
hearing that, Mark. When? When?
I don't know. When I get some time.
OK, well, it's Saturday.
Me and the kids have swimming.
You have the house to yourself.
Well, I've got some work things
that I need to sort out.
You have Ash now.
Does that not free you up?
Well, I'm still training him.
It takes time.
Mum.
Yes, monkey.
Why is there water coming out
from under the sink?
Yep, OK.
Look I'll... I'll...
I'll get Ash going.
I'll come back, I'll do the
light fittings and then I'll...
...I'll look at the sink, OK?
Happy families?
We'll see.
Come on, let's go.
And fix the bloody shower.
So you might want to go past the
bank on your way home from footy.
What?
Well, I'm not paying for a new one.
But I didn't do it.
It was your party.
How many times? It wasn't a party.
And more importantly,
none of this was my fault.
I didn't invite them.
Well, you didn't kick them out
either. You didn't call me.
You didn't do anything about it.
Mate, if you think you can
come here and do whatever you want
and get away with it,
you've got another thing coming.
This is so unfair.
Life's unfair.
I take cash, cheque or PayPal.
Oh, bloody lovely.
Right on cue.
I'm handling it, by the way.
I knew this was a bad idea.
He's packing his bags
and coming home.
Home? Home meaning your place?
I am right here, you know.
Clearly this isn't working out.
It was... it was just a gathering.
There weren't... there weren't
even that many people.
This is so unfair.
Life's unfair.
Did you two rehearse this?
Go to the footy.
We'll talk about it later.
So I don't even
get to defend myself?
Go.
Just go.
Alright, fine.
See ya.
See ya.
It wasn't his party.
So you're gonna let it slide?
No, I'm not gonna let it slide.
He's gonna pay for a new one.
Oh, right, well, that's something.
I'm not gonna do discipline
the way you would
but I am gonna do it.
I'm not a complete idiot, you know.
I do have this under control.
You know you can come to me,
talk to me about this stuff.
Yeah.
So I'm across what's going on.
And so we're united.
Sure.
But you can't be telling him
he has to go home
every time he does something
you don't like.
I gave you that coffee table.
You did. Do you want it back?
Can we go now?
Between that
and you walking in on me and Dane,
the last 24 hours
have been so embarrassing.
Yeah, well, if I'd known
you were having sex
maybe I would've been
a bit more careful.
Anything else I don't know about?
You got a tattoo?
Joined the Young Liberals?
Although with Dane
I wouldn't be surprised.
So mature, Mother.
You're sixteen.
You're still a child.
Proven last night when you let your
friends run amok at Mich's house.
What? How...
That's not what happened.
Well, it is.
I haven't even had a chance to get
into that. Let's stay on topic.
I'm entitled to know what goes on
under my own roof.
Yeah, well, it's my life
and it's my body
and I'm entitled
to make my own decisions.
I'm not trying to be annoying.
Can we just drop it and go now?
Where do you sell on a weekend?
There's a footy match on at school.
Why do they buy from you?
Don't they know about shops?
Your average school kid
can't wait 10 minutes.
They want sugar,
they have to get it now.
Financial Review says we're living
in an age of instant gratification.
Well, alrighty.
Nobody move! We don't sell to him.
I've already rung it up.
So un-ring it. He's banned.
Wait, what?
You ratted me out to the cops.
They were gonna give me
a massive fine.
So you just pay the fine!
I know it was you
who called my work.
They wouldn't have fired you
if you weren't doing the wrong thing.
I'm trying to run a business!
Yeah, well, snitches dig ditches.
Out!
Where's your stuff?
She is worse than Bernie Madoff.
Who?
Mich. Hang on. Hey! What's wrong?
My dad's place is a mess.
What are you talking about?
Your mates after you bailed.
You left me to deal with them.
They trashed the place?
Megan sent me a text
about some cop showing up.
I thought she was kidding.
No. Not kidding.
Oh, my God, I'm so sorry.
Did they do much damage?
Smashed some glasses.
Broke a coffee table.
I have to pay Dad a hundred bucks
to replace it.
I'll make it up to you somehow.
You know what, forget it.
Mich!
I've got footy.
Come on. I'm sorry.
Wouldn't be much,
just the odd shift.
Whatever suits you.
Happy to help.
Lord knows Ryan needs it.
How's he going?
Least I'm getting
my daily 10,000 steps in.
Saw Uncle Max earlier.
He said you all had
a good time last night.
Actually, he was complaining
about your winning streak,
but I read between the lines.
Yeah, it was good to do
something normal again.
Even if it was short lived.
Short lived?
This young fella.
Was an angel right up
until the moment I closed my eyes.
It's like he can sense
I'm about to sleep and he thinks,
"No, Nanna, not gonna have that."
Are you alright, Hazel?
So, can you work Tuesday night?
I'll double-check my roster
but it should be fine.
Good-o. Thanks, love.
You're welcome.

Hello, Mark Davies.
Ah, well, I'm pretty busy
at the moment.
Why, what's the job?
That's a big one.
It would be a couple of weeks' work.
Ah, no, no. Well, how about I
pop over now and I can do a quote?
Great.
See you in a bit.
Uh...
Come on, guys. Let's go.
I don't know, something like that?
Yeah, nah, I'm right.
Let me know when you get
the good stuff back in.
I'll have more by next week.
Kamran.
Hey, Sir.
Stock's a bit lean, eh?
Yeah, problem with my supplier.
Bigger one with your
latest English essay.
Not your usual standard.
Yeah, sorry about that.
I was distracted writing it.
Have you thought about where
you want to do year 11 and 12?
Here.
What about Embleton Grammar?
Oh, yeah, 'cause I've got 25 grand
down the back of my couch.
Ah, the principal asked me
to hand some of these out
for sport scholarships.
But they do some academic ones
as well.
Maybe if you spent less time
selling junk food and studied more,
you'd have a real shot.
I don't know, Mr Fraser.
Gotta make money.
The hustle's real.
Not joking, Kam.
Think about it.
Come on, guys.
Hey, guys, can you please
wash your hands
so we can have a snack?
Ah, Noah! Slow down, please.
Ow!
Mum!
Yeah.
Mum!
He was running and he tripped.
Oh, shoot, shoot. Can...
Watch out, watch out, watch out.
Can you, um... Are you OK?
Um, Frankie, can you get
a tea towel, please?
Alright, No.
So, rule number one -
never take your eye off the ball.
Over there.
What are you guys doing out here?
Showing Fatema how to play handball.
I'm trying to study.
So?
So find somewhere else to play.
No, you find somewhere else
to study.
Where are you going?
Is he alright?
Is that as fast as
you could get here?
Well, I had to a quote
on a job across town.
You couldn't even do one thing.
Seriously, one thing
and now your son is in there
getting stitches because he got glass
through his foot
from the stupid light fittings
you couldn't even fix.
Is he alright?
No, I refuse to keep
living like this, Mark.
It is unsafe.
It's freezing.
It's-it's... no, it's not a home.
It's just a bloody bomb site
that you refuse to finish.
Well, how do you want me
to pay for it, Renee?
I have to work. Somebody has to.
We made that decision together.
You can't just throw it back
in my face when it suits you.
Yeah, alright, alright. I'm not
throwing it back in your face.
I work just as hard as you do.
Yeah. I'm sorry.
All I'm asking is that
you deliver on your promise.
Mum!
Hey, there he is.
I was just bringing in
your ugg boots.
Dad, I got five stitches!
Oh, yeah, good one mate.
And a tetanus shot. He'll be fine.
Thanks.
I love you so much,
my big brave boy.
Oh, look at that.
As I said, it's no big deal.
This is 300 bucks.
Yeah, turns out the people
of Arcadia are quite generous,
if you twist an arm or two.
Are you sure you didn't break one?
Kids cost a bunch.
I just figured if we all put
in a little, it might help a lot.
A beer? To say thanks?
Ah, I've got a few deliveries
to make, so maybe next time.
Cheers.
Oh, hey. Hey.
Oh, hey.
I was gonna send you the funniest,
most well-crafted,
post second date text, but now that
I see you, what's the point?
I am so sorry about Sabine's antics
last night.
I should have rung you this morning
to apologise
but I have had a shocker of a day.
Um, bottle of sauv blanc, please.
What's uh, what's, what's going on?
Just... teenage girl stuff.
Oh, um, coffee table?
Already had the funeral.
How much do I owe you for that?
No, don't worry about it.
Oh, please.
No, no, it's taken care of.
Although you could take me
out to dinner.
Third time's a charm.
I think I probably need to focus
on home at the moment.
I feel like I've really just been
dropping the parenting ball lately,
and I need to be around more.
Right.
Do you understand?
Yeah, I understand.
If that's OK.
Yeah, yeah, no, I...
I totally get it.
Thanks.
And again, I'm so sorry.
I might take you up on that beer.
Yep.
I just saw that idiot Kam
studying on the footpath.
Who does that?
I'm sure there's a reason.
You know he was stealing
from his employer?
Not exactly, but OK.
Too busy selling junk
to think about his studies.
Really, Mum?
Kam studies all the time.
And he works harder than anyone
I know, including you.
Yeah, he on-sells lollies to kids
at school,
but do you know why he does that?
Yeah, he's greedy.
He's saving up for a place to live.
So him and his family can get out
of that crammed flat,
so he can have somewhere
to study in peace.
So he can go to uni. Get a good job.
He's just trying to make
a better life for himself, Mum.
Just like you did.
Sorry.
Was a bit longer than I said I'd be.
How'd you go?
I don't know what you
were complaining about.
He was fine.
Of course.
Can't rope you in for another five
while I put this away?
Sure.
Shh.
Sorry.
Dinner for you.
Oh, love, you shouldn't have.
Thank Mavis at the hospital canteen.
Charges like a wounded bull but man
does she make a mean cannelloni.
Let me get you some money.
As if. Sit down.
No, I've just got to put this...
Sit!
Enough for you too, Ash.
Cheers.
Shhh.
Shh.
Go and get your jarmies on, peanut.
We can do without a bath for tonight.
Better clean that up.
This one to bed?
No, just put him on the couch,
in case he wakes up in the night.
I'll fix it.
I'll finish the house.
It's not fair on you
and the kids and I get it.
Yeah, I'm gonna finish this
and then I'm gonna go to bed.
Yeah.
I might take, uh, Oddjob
for a run and clear my head.
If you spent half as much time
working on the house
as you did running,
you'd be finished by now.
Hi.
Hey.
Looks good.
Hm. We'll see.
I'm sorry about last night.
And this morning.
Why didn't you talk to me, Sabine?
I don't know.
You made a big decision,
and I feel like I have no idea
what's going on in your life
right now.
I didn't think
you'd want to talk about it.
I thought we talked
about everything.
Obviously not.
You're crazy protective of me,
which is nice.
But you just keep on treating me
like this little kid.
And I knew you'd say no
and that'd be it.
I wouldn't have.
I might have.
You dragged me
to the sexual health clinic
assuming I had no idea
what I was doing.
OK, point taken.
I love you, Mum.
And I'm sorry I didn't talk to you
about it, but I felt ready.
I can make my own decisions and I'm
smart enough to make the right ones.
That's all I'm saying.
Are you gonna say something?
I'm very proud of you, Sabine.
I know you can make
your own decisions,
but I'm here and I know a few things
and I don't want you to think
there are any topics
that are off limit for us.
OK.
So do you want to
talk about the sex?
God, no.
Gotta go see a man
about a coffee table.
But Mum?
Mm.
About the sex.
It does get better, right?
Mm. It gets better.
Yes?
Hi. Is Kam home?
Kam, the crazy lady from the shop
is here to see you.
Here to see if the police
need to do a raid?
Kam, you're on dishes.
I did them yesterday.
Oh, shut up.
What?
No more ban.
OK.
You can get the candy supplies
from me.
OK.
I'll give you cost price.
OK.
And we'll split the profit 50/50.
70/30 my way.
Mm-mm. 50/50.
60/40.
I do all the work.
You get 40% of the mark-up
for doing nothing.
How big is this mark-up?
Big.
OK.
Come over tomorrow before school
to pick up your stocks.
Hey, um,
what made you change your mind?
It's just business.
Wow.
Hi.
Um, sorry, it's not your job
to clean up,
and there's dinner on the stove.
Really?
It's just ragu from the freezer.
What's this?
It's for a new table.
Where'd you get it?
Sold your weed.
I do have a bank account, Dad.
OK, wise guy.
So I can stay?
Yeah, of course you can.
I need a cleaner.
Hey.
For the coffee table.
Let me know if it's more.
Oh, that's nice of you but you don't
have to give me anything.
I'm sorry about last night,
to the both of you.
I appreciate that.
Um, thanks. Do you want to come in?
No, I just wanted to give you that.
Ah, we can go halves if you want.
OK. Cool.
See you at school.
Yeah. See ya.
It's been six weeks
and you haven't paid me.
End of the day
or I'm taking legal action.
What was all that about?
What's this?
You applying for scholarship?
Doesn't matter how much I want it.
It's never gonna happen.
And whereabouts are you from?
I'm from Iran.
Oh, you're a refugee?

They want sugar,
they have to get it now.
Financial Review says we're living
in an age of instant gratification.
Well, alrighty.
Nobody move! We don't sell to him.
I've already rung it up.
So un-ring it. He's banned.
Wait, what?
You ratted me out to the cops.
They were gonna give me
a massive fine.
So you just pay the fine!
I know it was you
who called my work.
They wouldn't have fired you
if you weren't doing the wrong thing.
I'm trying to run a business!
Yeah, well, snitches dig ditches.
Out!
Where's your stuff?
She is worse than Bernie Madoff.
Who?
Mich. Hang on. Hey! What's wrong?
My dad's place is a mess.
What are you talking about?
Your mates after you bailed.
You left me to deal with them.
They trashed the place?
Megan sent me a text
about some cop showing up.
I thought she was kidding.
No. Not kidding.
Oh, my God, I'm so sorry.
Did they do much damage?
Smashed some glasses.
Broke a coffee table.
I have to pay Dad a hundred bucks
to replace it.
I'll make it up to you somehow.
You know what, forget it.
Mich!
I've got footy.
Come on. I'm sorry.
Wouldn't be much,
just the odd shift.
Whatever suits you.
Happy to help.
Lord knows Ryan needs it.
How's he going?
Least I'm getting
my daily 10,000 steps in.
Saw Uncle Max earlier.
He said you all had
a good time last night.
Actually, he was complaining
about your winning streak,
but I read between the lines.
Yeah, it was good to do
something normal again.
Even if it was short lived.
Short lived?
This young fella.
Was an angel right up
until the moment I closed my eyes.
It's like he can sense
I'm about to sleep and he thinks,
"No, Nanna, not gonna have that."
Are you alright, Hazel?
So, can you work Tuesday night?
I'll double-check my roster
but it should be fine.
Good-o. Thanks, love.
You're welcome.

Hello, Mark Davies.
Ah, well, I'm pretty busy
at the moment.
Why, what's the job?
That's a big one.
It would be a couple of weeks' work.
Ah, no, no. Well, how about I
pop over now and I can do a quote?
Great.
See you in a bit.
Uh...
Come on, guys. Let's go.
I don't know, something like that?
Yeah, nah, I'm right.
Let me know when you get
the good stuff back in.
I'll have more by next week.
Kamran.
Hey, Sir.
Stock's a bit lean, eh?
Yeah, problem with my supplier.
Bigger one with your
latest English essay.
Not your usual standard.
Yeah, sorry about that.
I was distracted writing it.
Have you thought about where
you want to do year 11 and 12?
Here.
What about Embleton Grammar?
Oh, yeah, 'cause I've got 25 grand
down the back of my couch.
Ah, the principal asked me
to hand some of these out
for sport scholarships.
But they do some academic ones
as well.
Maybe if you spent less time
selling junk food and studied more,
you'd have a real shot.
I don't know, Mr Fraser.
Gotta make money.
The hustle's real.
Not joking, Kam.
Think about it.
Come on, guys.
Hey, guys, can you please
wash your hands
so we can have a snack?
Ah, Noah! Slow down, please.
Ow!
Mum!
Yeah.
Mum!
He was running and he tripped.
Oh, shoot, shoot. Can...
Watch out, watch out, watch out.
Can you, um... Are you OK?
Um, Frankie, can you get
a tea towel, please?
Alright, No.
So, rule number one -
never take your eye off the ball.
Over there.
What are you guys doing out here?
Showing Fatema how to play handball.
I'm trying to study.
So?
So find somewhere else to play.
No, you find somewhere else
to study.
Where are you going?
Is he alright?
Is that as fast as
you could get here?
Well, I had to a quote
on a job across town.
You couldn't even do one thing.
Seriously, one thing
and now your son is in there
getting stitches because he got glass
through his foot
from the stupid light fittings
you couldn't even fix.
Is he alright?
No, I refuse to keep
living like this, Mark.
It is unsafe.
It's freezing.
It's-it's... no, it's not a home.
It's just a bloody bomb site
that you refuse to finish.
Well, how do you want me
to pay for it, Renee?
I have to work. Somebody has to.
We made that decision together.
You can't just throw it back
in my face when it suits you.
Yeah, alright, alright. I'm not
throwing it back in your face.
I work just as hard as you do.
Yeah. I'm sorry.
All I'm asking is that
you deliver on your promise.
Mum!
Hey, there he is.
I was just bringing in
your ugg boots.
Dad, I got five stitches!
Oh, yeah, good one mate.
And a tetanus shot. He'll be fine.
Thanks.
I love you so much,
my big brave boy.
Oh, look at that.
As I said, it's no big deal.
This is 300 bucks.
Yeah, turns out the people
of Arcadia are quite generous,
if you twist an arm or two.
Are you sure you didn't break one?
Kids cost a bunch.
I just figured if we all put
in a little, it might help a lot.
A beer? To say thanks?
Ah, I've got a few deliveries
to make, so maybe next time.
Cheers.
Oh, hey. Hey.
Oh, hey.
I was gonna send you the funniest,
most well-crafted,
post second date text, but now that
I see you, what's the point?
I am so sorry about Sabine's antics
last night.
I should have rung you this morning
to apologise
but I have had a shocker of a day.
Um, bottle of sauv blanc, please.
What's uh, what's, what's going on?
Just... teenage girl stuff.
Oh, um, coffee table?
Already had the funeral.
How much do I owe you for that?
No, don't worry about it.
Oh, please.
No, no, it's taken care of.
Although you could take me
out to dinner.
Third time's a charm.
I think I probably need to focus
on home at the moment.
I feel like I've really just been
dropping the parenting ball lately,
and I need to be around more.
Right.
Do you understand?
Yeah, I understand.
If that's OK.
Yeah, yeah, no, I...
I totally get it.
Thanks.
And again, I'm so sorry.
I might take you up on that beer.
Yep.
I just saw that idiot Kam
studying on the footpath.
Who does that?
I'm sure there's a reason.
You know he was stealing
from his employer?
Not exactly, but OK.
Too busy selling junk
to think about his studies.
Really, Mum?
Kam studies all the time.
And he works harder than anyone
I know, including you.
Yeah, he on-sells lollies to kids
at school,
but do you know why he does that?
Yeah, he's greedy.
He's saving up for a place to live.
So him and his family can get out
of that crammed flat,
so he can have somewhere
to study in peace.
So he can go to uni. Get a good job.
He's just trying to make
a better life for himself, Mum.
Just like you did.
Sorry.
Was a bit longer than I said I'd be.
How'd you go?
I don't know what you
were complaining about.
He was fine.
Of course.
Can't rope you in for another five
while I put this away?
Sure.
Shh.
Sorry.
Dinner for you.
Oh, love, you shouldn't have.
Thank Mavis at the hospital canteen.
Charges like a wounded bull but man
does she make a mean cannelloni.
Let me get you some money.
As if. Sit down.
No, I've just got to put this...
Sit!
Enough for you too, Ash.
Cheers.
Shhh.
Shh.
Go and get your jarmies on, peanut.
We can do without a bath for tonight.
Better clean that up.
This one to bed?
No, just put him on the couch,
in case he wakes up in the night.
I'll fix it.
I'll finish the house.
It's not fair on you
and the kids and I get it.
Yeah, I'm gonna finish this
and then I'm gonna go to bed.
Yeah.
I might take, uh, Oddjob
for a run and clear my head.
If you spent half as much time
working on the house
as you did running,
you'd be finished by now.
Hi.
Hey.
Looks good.
Hm. We'll see.
I'm sorry about last night.
And this morning.
Why didn't you talk to me, Sabine?
I don't know.
You made a big decision,
and I feel like I have no idea
what's going on in your life
right now.
I didn't think
you'd want to talk about it.
I thought we talked
about everything.
Obviously not.
You're crazy protective of me,
which is nice.
But you just keep on treating me
like this little kid.
And I knew you'd say no
and that'd be it.
I wouldn't have.
I might have.
You dragged me
to the sexual health clinic
assuming I had no idea
what I was doing.
OK, point taken.
I love you, Mum.
And I'm sorry I didn't talk to you
about it, but I felt ready.
I can make my own decisions and I'm
smart enough to make the right ones.
That's all I'm saying.
Are you gonna say something?
I'm very proud of you, Sabine.
I know you can make
your own decisions,
but I'm here and I know a few things
and I don't want you to think
there are any topics
that are off limit for us.
OK.
So do you want to
talk about the sex?
God, no.
Gotta go see a man
about a coffee table.
But Mum?
Mm.
About the sex.
It does get better, right?
Mm. It gets better.
Yes?
Hi. Is Kam home?
Kam, the crazy lady from the shop
is here to see you.
Here to see if the police
need to do a raid?
Kam, you're on dishes.
I did them yesterday.
Oh, shut up.
What?
No more ban.
OK.
You can get the candy supplies
from me.
OK.
I'll give you cost price.
OK.
And we'll split the profit 50/50.
70/30 my way.
Mm-mm. 50/50.
60/40.
I do all the work.
You get 40% of the mark-up
for doing nothing.
How big is this mark-up?
Big.
OK.
Come over tomorrow before school
to pick up your stocks.
Hey, um,
what made you change your mind?
It's just business.
Wow.
Hi.
Um, sorry, it's not your job
to clean up,
and there's dinner on the stove.
Really?
It's just ragu from the freezer.
What's this?
It's for a new table.
Where'd you get it?
Sold your weed.
I do have a bank account, Dad.
OK, wise guy.
So I can stay?
Yeah, of course you can.
I need a cleaner.
Hey.
For the coffee table.
Let me know if it's more.
Oh, that's nice of you but you don't
have to give me anything.
I'm sorry about last night,
to the both of you.
I appreciate that.
Um, thanks. Do you want to come in?
No, I just wanted to give you that.
Ah, we can go halves if you want.
OK. Cool.
See you at school.
Yeah. See ya.
It's been six weeks
and you haven't paid me.
End of the day
or I'm taking legal action.
What was all that about?
What's this?
You applying for scholarship?
Doesn't matter how much I want it.
It's never gonna happen.
And whereabouts are you from?
I'm from Iran.
Oh, you're a refugee?
