Post by bunniefuu »

Are you kidding me!

It's my piano.

And this is my arm, cockface!

Where are you taking it?

Perth. Why?

You need to come home.

My mum's dying.

I'm going to Perth too.

What?

No, you're not.

Yeah, I am.

How much fuel did you put in this?

Oh, sh*t.

It's a diesel, isn't it?

How do I know you can

look after that girl?

She's indestructible, dude.

- Did you steal a car?

- You wanna get to Perth?

- Come on!

- Get in.

Well, you're a f*ckin' dead man!

Whoo!

That's Matty, he's my brother.

I just wanted to say that

it's not your fault.

Oh, sh*t.

I wasn't gonna jump off the cliff!

What the hell's this about then?

It's Matty's!

I'm so sorry.

Why? Did you tie the rope?

Her Mum's not in Kal, is she?

Mate, her mum pissed off

when she was a bub.

I'm sorry I lied about Mum.

Guys, this is Suzie.

This is the guys.

This is my little brother.

Oh, Suzie!

You idiot.

Hi, Billie.

You're Uncle Lucky.

Do you wanna tell her?

No. He's not telling her.

I am asking what he wants.

Well, I don't care what he wants!

Tobes.

Do you know the thing

that fucks with my head?

If you hadn't have done what

you did, she wouldn't exist.

You coming, mate?

Yep.

Sorry, I need to piss.

What's wrong with yours?

Ours isn't flushing.

Why haven't you got pants on?

They're not dry.

Well, we're going on. Like, now.

Why were they wet?

What?

Your jeans, how'd they get wet?

Brad spilt beer on 'em last night.

Or maybe it was wine.

Maybe it was Pete.

Whatever.

Just don't leave us hanging, OK?

Lucky, your phone's ringing.

OK.

Ow. f*ck.

Billie Bee!

Hey, Uncle Lucky.

What are you doing awake?

What's the time over there?

12:14.

That means it's 3:15am over here.

How did you know I'd be awake?

Someone just tagged you on Insta.

What are you doing on Instagram

in the middle of the night?

Can't sleep.

Why? It's going on?

Are you OK?

Just excited, I suppose.

About the trip?

It's still, like, a week away.

Eight days.

Exactly. So you're gonna have

to sleep at some point.

I know. I just

You nervous?

Toby said you're a bit anxious about

playing by yourself.

Toby said you're a bit anxious about

playing by yourself.

I just spew sometimes.

No big deal.

Dad's more worried than I am.

Yeah, fair enough.

I suppose I would be

too if I was him.

Billie, what are you doing?

It's Uncle Lucky. We're just

I don't care.

It's the middle of the night.

It's my fault, Tobes.

Phone in the kitchen.

Hop into bed. Now. It was my fault.

I shouldn't have rung. I got

the time difference upside-down.

For f*ck's sake, Lucky,

it doesn't matter.

It is f*cking inappropriate

for her to be on the phone.

Tobes, you're making a mountain

out of a mole

Shut up! We have agreed,

against my better judgement,

if I'm honest, to let her fly over.

And you're calling her,

pissed off your face,

in what looks like

a f*cking public toilet at 3am!

No I swear, we will

cancel the trip, Lucky.

Bullshit. You can't.

You can't do that.

Get your sh*t together.

I have my

..sh*t together.

Oh, looking

a bit rough there, champ.

No-one's interested in a guy

going through a gate, mate.

But they might be interested

in what Avery thinks

about you getting it on

with Mary Doyle.

Ooh, lovely.

Yeah, that's the sh*t.

Thrilled for you.

You can f*ck off now.

Ahh, no, I think I'll hang.

You might be back out in a minute.

Chrissake.

You're just so bad at this.

How did you let him get the sh*t?

I didn't have a choice. He was

It's not rocket science, Lucky.

You just don't look at them.

Why was he even there?

I've literally left you

about ten messages.

Oh, yeah. Sorry, I know.

My phone's completely dead.

I forgot to take a charger.

Oh, that's a huge surprise.

You had a fun night.

You had a fun night.

OK. No, this

This isn't I

No, everyone was just drunk.

I don't even know who she is.

I think she's a friend of

Wait, you don't know who she is?

This incredibly famous,

extremely online woman

with her hand on your chest,

you don't recognise her.

I recognise her from

last night but

I thought she was

a friend of Brad's or

Come in.

Thought she was just a hanger-on.

No, she doesn't have

a comment. Eugh!

Neither does he.

Yeah, I don't even remember that.

OK. Bye.

He doesn't even know who she is.

Shocked.

Who who is?

Mary Doyle.

Mary who?

Doyle.

She's from Dance Off.

Dance Off?

Highest rating show on

Australian television, you luddite.

Luddites objected to looms.

Whatever.

Honestly, Ave,

I was quite pissed.

I just can't believe you put yourself

in this position to begin with.

She was just one

of those close-talkers.

She did like, a 25 minute monologue

on Biodynamic f*ckin' um

What's the,

it's like celery but it's red.

What's the,

it's like celery but it's red.

Rhubarb.

And she was very handsy

but I didn't do

No, the point is

is that you gave them a story.

I didn't post the photos.

No, your thick-headed drummer did.

She has a Masters

in electrical engineering.

Just thought you'd understand

how this works by now.

I

The train on Platform 24

goes to Bondi Junction

stopping at all stations.

First stop

Nice boots, sweetheart.

Nice mullet, f*ck knuckle.

327 comments.

It's OK, I'll call Betts

and tell her to take 'em down.

I just need

Darl, do we have painkillers?

Second drawer, same place it's been

for the last 50 hangovers.

Ahh, f*ck.

Can you not say "f*ck" and

not immediately tell me what it is?

It's just I've got

a radio interview in five minutes.

What?

Out To Lunch with Hados and Tokka.

Oh, gross, pull it.

I'll stick it on.

Can't pull it, I've still

got tickets to sell for next week.

Babe, they're gonna ask about this.

They will absolutely

ask about it.

No, they're not.

Those photos have been up for what,

two hours,

and anyway, it's an interview

about my gig and my songs.

You have a question

for Lucky about his songs.

"All Live" was our absolute fave.

Avery Mae.

Oh, feral. I hate that guy.

..rather interesting photos

that have popped up.

A few had Mary Doyle

Get Nina to call and say you're sick.

No, no, no, that would definitely

make it worse.

Oh, that's nice.

This guy just call me a slut.

Don't read it.

Why are you reading it?

How am I a slut?

"Laclan." Ha, my grandad was

a Laclan. Obsessed by Nazis.

Think he just liked the uniforms.

Jesus!

f*ck!

Who is it?

It's Nina. I don't have

It's Nina. I don't have

Answer it.

Hey, Nines.

Hi, darl. Did you get the package?

Yeah, it's in my hands.

OK. The deal is as good as

it's going to get

but you have to sign it today.

OK, but didn't we agree that I'd

have some time to think about this?

Yes, that was three months ago.

We'll discuss it when I get there.

Jesus!

Christ!

Nina?

Have you seen your boy

with Mary Doyle?

My boy's with WHO?

Do you not have alerts

on your clients?

Ahh, we represent musicians,

Richard, not gossip fodder.

She's not

Oh, thank you, Nina.

..gossip

Oh hi, darls.

Hi.

..fodder.

Oh, she's with Dance Off.

Famously.

I don't understand any of this.

The airline gets the rights

to your song for a year

and you get 60 grand.

And everyone loves your song

and buys the album.

If you ever finish it.

Ahh, that would be your interview.

Oh, Jesus! f*ck!

Hey, how are you getting out of this?

I'll just, I'll tell them the truth.

Whoa! Easy, Tiger.

Is the truth good or bad

in this case?

Yep. I'm here.

The truth's rhubarb, apparently

Yeah, ready when you are.

..in this case.

Yeah, ready when you are.

..in this case.

No. Lucky, come. Sit.

Stay.

Alright, Lucky, listen.

I know this is all just nonsense

to you, yeah?

It's not. I

But it's my job.

And being family friendly

is part of that.

Well, it paid for the house

you live in.

So, can you just, can you just

not be hilarious? Don't be sarcastic.

Just don't rise to their bait.

You're gonna be great.

Hello?

Hi. Are you ready?

'Cause we're patching you through.

And it's Ooh no, no,

there he is. Lucky Flynn.

Hi, Hados.

G'day, Tokka.

So, Lucky, a year ago

no-one had any clue who you were

and now you're on Out To Lunch

with Hados and Tokka!

Thanks for having me, guys.

It's an honour.

No, the honour's all ours, mate.

Is it weird but?

How's that?

Being a muso but mostly

being known as, you know,

the hairy bloke

who scored Avery Mae.

Yeah.

It's a funny story, actually.

I was playing this New Year's gig

earlier this year and that's how

I was playing this New Year's gig

earlier this year and that's how

Which, I think, we all agree

was rather soon

after a Avery's very public split

with Grant Bunning.

Who, let's be honest,

is more in the same league.

Oh, Tokka!

Mate, you can't say that!

No, no, Lucky knows what I mean.

I mean, you're a fine-looking

rooster. But, you know

No, no, no,

Lucky's not too bad, are you, mate?

He has other attributes.

Look at bloody Grant Bunning!

That's what he's known for,

being hot.

And for being a complete fuckwit.

I think we've had

a bit of a technical issue there.

We seem to have lost our guest.

This is Out To Lunch with Ha

Well, they didn't ask

about the photos.

You are such

a child sometimes, Lucky.

Ave, come on, I'm sorry.

I was just joking. It was a joke.

Oi, Miss Mae.

Give us a smile.

That's it. That's great.

Hey!

Nice and angry. Love it.

Really, really good.

I thought I told you to f*ck off.

Lucky, leave him alone.

Whoa! Whoa! Whoa!

Lucky, stop! Just give me

that f*cking camera.

That's my car, Lucky.

That's my f*cking car!

What is wrong with you?

I can't do this.

What is wrong with you?

I can't do this.

I am calling the cops.

Oh, don't call the cops, you d*ck.

Oh, I'm a d*ck? I'm a d*ck!

Go have a shower, darls,

you stink.

f*ck!

Eugh!

She's not here, mate,

and I'm sorry I called

you a fuckwit on the radio.

You just made a massive

You are though, a fuckwit.

Hello, Tobes.

Hello, little brother.

Nice radio, mate. Typically mature.

Did you know that to send

an unaccompanied minor on a plane

you have to sign a thing saying

she'll be met by an adult?

Yeah, I know.

So who are you going

to get to meet her?

Ha, ha.

Yeah, ha, ha.

Have you got the flight details

written down?

It's Monday week, 12:25pm.

I know.

It's Monday week, 12:25pm.

I know.

About the time you'd normally be

cracking your second beer, isn't it?

Give me a f*cking break. Hey?

Mate, look, I'm sorry I rang

in the middle of the night.

It was just a time zone error.

It was no big drama.

Yeah, well, as her dad,

it's my job to stop the big drama

before it happens.

It won't happen. I'm gonna be

ready for her. I promise.

Yeah, you'd better be, matey.

Good afternoon.

Everything OK?

Yep. All good.

Bit of a day.

Do you wanna come in?

Cup of tea or?

We've received a complaint.

Ha. Thought he was bluffing.

Not bluffing.

No, clearly.

Look at you. Very responsive.

Mr Proctielli claims that you

physically assaulted him.

I was just trying to stop him taking

photos of my distressed girlfriend.

He also said you smashed his camera.

I did that.

And a car window.

Whose car was that?

It was Rich's car, Rich Hodgkins.

Like the disease.

Why was your girlfriend distressed?

Why was your girlfriend distressed?

Ahh, because Mr Proctielli

is a slimy piece of sh*t

who likes taking pictures

of her bum.

And also probably because

I called her ex-boyfriend

the F word on the radio.

f*ck?

Wit. Fuckwit.

Fuckwit. Yep.

Ex-boyfriend?

Grant Bunning. Plays Officer

Cranbrook on Precinct 17.

His character's lovely so you can't

accuse him of not being able to act.

Right. Unless Mr Proctielli

drops his complaint,

we'll see you again in

a few days with a summons.

Meantime, keep it cool, huh?

Have a shower.

I would literally k*ll my already

dead mother for a shower right now.

No! Go away.

No! f*ck off!

f*ck! f*ck.

What do you want

Meg.

Hey, dickhead.

Miss me?

I

I gotta pee.

Fancy!

And school?

Mmm. I'm in Year 12 but

Mmm. I'm in Year 12 but

But

Oh well, my school

only goes to Year 10

so if I'm gonna do HSC,

I've gotta go to Bourke,

and that's like,

1.5 hours on the bus each way.

I get there sometimes but you know,

Dad's back on the beers.

Right.

Yeah. But like,

school is bullshit anyway.

Like, Moby d*ck's not just a whale.

Like, f*cking der.

Not just a d*ck either.

You've done alright.

Oh, it's not my house.

Do you want a beer?

No, I hate beer.

Mmm, of course. Sorry.

No, it just tastes like piss.

Need a coffee or a tea?

Go with tea, thank you.

So, you have a boyfriend?

Maybe it's a girlfriend.

Do you have a girlfriend?

Nuh. Boyfriend.

Well, I did but, um

We

Oh, hi, Ave.

No, I'm gonna stay at Mum's.

OK. Um

No, I don't wanna talk about it.

I just came back for my phone.

I know. I'm sorry but

I don't wanna talk about it.

Have you see my phone?

It's just on the bench but

Hey, that prick is still out

the front. Ave

So can you maybe just try not

to mess up my life

more than you absolutely have to?

- That would be really

- Hi.

Oh, sh*t!

Hi.

This is, ahh, Meg.

Who the f*ck is Meg?

I'm the f*ck is Meg.

Who the f*ck are you?

Whoa, woah, woah!

This is Avery. She's my girlfriend.

She owns this house.

Oh, yeah. I've seen you on telly.

You're hot.

What are you doing with him?

I actually have no idea sometimes.

Meg is, um a friend.

Well, I mean, we

Haven't spoken in four years.

Do you remember I told you

I drove to Perth when Mum was sick?

Do you remember I told you

I drove to Perth when Mum was sick?

Ahh, sort of.

Well, I gave Meg

Meg gave me a lift some of the way.

Well then,

what is going on here?

Well, Meg, um

had a bit of an argument

with her Dad and she needed some

Lucky's gonna take me to Queensland.

Sorry?

- Yeah, we're going to Queensland.

- What, Queensland?

You told me that

you needed somewhere to go

because you had a fight

with your dad. I did.

I had a fight with my dad because

he wouldn't take me to Queensland.

Alright. This is the first

I've heard of this.

You were in a crap mood

and I knew you'd lose your sh*t.

He doesn't go well with

new information when he's tired.

Ha! He doesn't he totally

doesn't cope well

with new information when he's tired.

OK

No, we're not can have a whole

Oh, just f*ck off. Can we

Alright, this is all just

So Meg, good luck. I am sure,

like everything in Lucky's life,

you'll remain something that

I half understand.

I'm going to Mum's.

So, when's the wedding?

Meg

What's going on?

What's going on?

That's Mum, on the left.

When did you find these?

Last week.

Right.

And your Dad

Is a lying piece of sh*t.

He's probably just trying

to protect No, it's bullshit!

He told me that she was overseas,

my whole life,

but she's been in

Queensland this whole time.

And he knew. And I'm 17

and he should have told me.

No, he's a f*cking liar.

That's the most recent one.

From Brisbane.

OK.

Look, I get that you wanna find her.

I do. But what do you think

What are you hoping to get?

She doesn't know about Matty.

I guess Dad never told her.

Don't reckon he even tried.

Like, that's f*cked, right?

If your kid d*ed, you'd wanna know.

Even if you you'd been

a sh*t parent

You'd wanna know.

And I don't have any money.

OK, I don't.

I spent everything I had

on getting here

and I really need to get to Brisbane

and I didn't know who else to ask.

Meg, you can't show up

after four years

and just expect me to

hop on a plane with you.

I'm in the middle of a tour.

Your show's Thursday week.

I looked it up.

There's other stuff.

Billie's coming.

Have you told her?

Have you told her?

OK. This'll take two days,

tops. I promise.

Please?

I have to get this.

Hi, Nina. Yeah, I know,

I've been ignoring it. OK.

I'll look. OK.

Sorry.

What?

Oh, sh*t!

What is it?

Oh, sh*t.

What?

The

Just show me. Oh, my god!

Oh, you really are a psycho.

f*ck!

And you're a meme.

Oh, this is

Jesus Christ.

Look, Meg, like, I'm sorry.

I I have all this

crazy sh*t going on

and by tonight there's going

to be more paps out the front.

And the cops are probably gonna

turn up with a summons tomorrow.

And Avery's gone to her mum's house

which means she'll be

on the lady petrol all night

and she'll be back

in the morning with a migraine

and a million excellent reasons

why I don't deserve her.

And her arsehole ex-boyfriend's

probably gonna sue me.

And I've got this contract

that's doing my head in

and everything's

just complicated, OK?

And I obviously can't just take off.

I mean, I haven't even

unpacked my bag.
