- That one? Alright.

So when he rocks up,

all you gotta do is say you
wanna see the g*ns first, ok?

How's that? No, that way?

Yeah? Ok, good.

- Go and annoy your mum, angel.
- Girl: Mum, I want to play!

Doesn't matter what
he wants to do.

- You've gotta see the g*ns.
- Alright.

Now, guys, you
gotta be aggressive.

Can't be f*cking
around with this guy.

We gotta f*ck him up.

If we don't, he's
gonna start thinking

he can come back at us
and we don't want that.

- Girl: Daddy!
- Why don't we just knock him?

Why knock him if
we don't need to?

Trust me, if we do this right,

this m*therf*cker's not
gonna come back at us.

Hey, blood capsules,
yeah? Fake blood.

Whack two in your gob. Put 'em
in the corner of your mouth.

Then when we start
to give you a bit

of a touch-up, you
can bite down on 'em,

make it look like we've
gone to town on you.

Jesus, mate. I don't really like
the sound of that, to be honest.

Don't be a f*cking p*ssy. We're
not gonna f*cking hurt ya.

"Everything will be

I've been chained to a
f*cking fence all night.

Bit off more than
I could chew, eh?

Just a little.

Sorry about that b*ating, mate.

It was nothing personal.

Don't worry about it.

Should... Should've just
given you the f*cking cash.

Coulda, shoulda.

It don't matter now.

Well, no, but, you
know, my boys...

I got 'em k*lled, hey?

(gurgles)

What's your name?

Huh...

Graham.

Ray.

(wheezes and gurgles)

(exhales)

Eh...

(sighs)

(zipper buzzes)

f*cking hell.

What's that?

Yeah, three-way split.

Nah, you guys split it.

- What?
- I don't want it.

You ok, ray?

Easy, tiger.

(low, sombre music)

(exhales)

(sighs)

(machine whirrs)

(light rock music
plays on stereo)

What's your birthdate?

March '.

You're a dragon.

- Is that good?
- Yeah.

You're in my
triangle of affinity.

What's that?

It's where there's three
animal signs in a triangle.

Dragon - you, me - and
then monkey and rat.

Is that what your mum is, a rat?

No, she's a tiger.

Tigers don't get along
with dragons, though.

That's why you got divorced.

So if you want to
get married again,

you need to find someone
who's a dragon, monkey or rat.

Easy-peasy.

People don't say
that anymore, dad.

It's, like, circa .

Ok, word n*zi.

Ok, boomer. You can
just drop me here, dad.

- What for?
- Just drop me here.

- Yeah, but why?
- 'cause.

What, you too embarrassed to be
seen with your old man now, hey?

Just drop me here.

(kids chatter)

'Bye.

- No kiss?
- I'm .

(window whirrs)

(shouts) love you, brit!

- (girl laughs)
- girl : "love you, brit!"

little sh*t.

- Girl: 'bye, dad.
- Man: 'bye. See you tonight.

(bell rings)

(men chatter)

Man: Hey! Whoa!

f*cking serious?

(mutters) f*cking jerk-off.

Man: Good on ya, f*cking idiot.

Man: Oh, here we go.

Man : What's your
problem, dickhead?

You're slapping the mirror.
What's your problem?

You're supposed
to stop, dipshit.

Why is that, mate?

Because it's a pedestrian
crossing, mate.

So where's the white stripes
painted on the road and the sign

that says it's a pedestrian
crossing, then, buddy?

- Still a crossing, you fuckwit.
- Is it?

- Oh!
- Hey!

Are you for real?

(siren blips)

Oh, f*ck.

(lock buzzes)

(people chatter lowly)

Kelsey?

Back against the wall.

Ok, we're gonna conduct
a search on you.

Listen to the
instructions given to you.

Do exactly what I say.
Do you understand that?

- Yep.
- Ok.

To start off, take the
shirt off and hand it to me.

Underwear off and hand
it to the officer.

Lift your balls.

Right up.

Leg out like that.

And now the other leg.

(lock clicks, gate creaks)

Just wait there. Yep.

(gate slams)

(lock rattles and clicks)

Man: Hey, sweeties, how are ya?!

(door clangs)

Ray: How you going,
mate? Alright?

Sorry.

(door shuts, lock clicks)

(shouting and banging outside)

- First time in, huh?
- Yeah.

You can tell?

Yeah, normally we
don't sh*t in the cell

'cause it stinks the joint out.

(flushes toilet)
sh*t, sorry, mate.

That's alright. You didn't know.

Cheers.

If you need to sh*t,

just use the communal
dunnies down the hallway.

- Right, yep.
- Yeah.

I'm adam.

So what are you in for?

Oh, it's a... Long story.

Got plenty of time.

Uh, I'm...

Well, my wife started
seeing this dude

behind my back for a while.

- Mmm.
- Like... Yeah.

You know, it wasn't
the first time.

Mmm.

But, yeah, she was
seeing this dude

and she took off with him,

and I didn't really
give a sh*t about that.

Uh, well, like, I did.

The problem was, um,

we have a kid together

and, yeah, so I just... I
just wanted to see my daughter

and make sure she was ok
'cause, yeah, she's only .

Yeah, anyway, to cut
a long story short,

she took an avo out on me

and I didn't realise, like,
you can't even text somebody

when they've taken
an avo out on ya.

I texted her a few times
just saying, you know,

I want to see my
daughter and all that,

and, yeah, she told the cops

and so now I'm in here
for breaching the avo.

- Oh, that's f*cked.

What are you in here for?

Mmm.

I should stop, but I just
f*cking love doing it, you know?

Oh, yeah, well, you've got...
You're probably... Yeah.

That's... Yeah, it's not
for me to judge, hey?

- You never r*ped anybody?
- Me? No.

How come?

Um... How come?

I just... Yeah,
don't know really.

Just not really into it.

But, like...

What, do you think
there's something

wrong with it or something?

No, no. Like...

Ray: Yeah.

I mean, it's not like
I r*pe women and sh*t.

Oh, ok.

Just blokes.

Huh. Yeah, well...

Oh, you f*ck.

Oh!
