[bunniefuu]

-They all have it.
-You sure?

They're running hot and the
sows tested positive for H2N3.

-You can't take a chance.
-Swine flue?

-All of them.
-Yeah, I'm sorry.

Thanks for coming in Doc.

Just... put it on my bill.
I'll settle at the end of the month.

Hey. I'm good for it.

You want me to call the
authorities, make arrangements?

No, I'll take care of it.

-Rudy could help.
-Rudy?

You know my brother's got his
thermometer in enough pigs already,

so thanks,
I'll take care of it.

Have you spoken
to all the pallbearers?

-Yes I have.
-Okay.

Just make sure they know who's
carrying him in

-and who's carrying him out.
-They do.

They're all honoured to be doing it.

Gert is a bit upset
that he wasn't asked.

My dad always thought
he was a bit of a kiss-a*s.

Well, your dad was intimidating
at the best of times.

Okay, fine. I'll have him carry
the photo in the frame, or something.

Cool. I'll tell him.
He'd be happy.

-Okay, fine.
-Come here.

Rudy. No.

I have to get ready for my sister.

-Sshh... sshh... shhh.

Cute little one aren't you?

Clara! Come sweetheart.
Come, come sit.

Are you hurt?

Come, let's get you cleaned up.

-Come.
-They're coming for me.

No sweetheart,
no one is coming for you.

You're safe here, okay?

They're coming...
for me.

-Hi, Yola. It's me.

It's me.
Sorry, the door was open.

It's me.

Man! It's so good to see you.
Welcome home.

Sorry, I gave you a fright didn't I?

Uhm, I thought I would make us
some dinner tonight,

-I stocked up the fridge.

-How is Varsity?
-Eh...

-Dad was proud of you.

-He said that?

No.
Not in so many work.

I could tell.

How's the nursery?

It's good.

Dora says you have
a real gift for it.

-When did you speak to her?
-Occasionally.

It sounds like you got
Dad's green fingers.

-If you say so.

Can I see him?

Yola, he's missing
half his face.

What happened?

I found him
at the base of the wind mill.

The police think he slipped.
Hit his head on one of the rotors.

Yeah.

That doesn't sound like him.

Things change.

He was sick.

I didn't know.

I know.

How's Mom?

-Same.
-What does that mean?

It means she's the same
as the last time you saw her.

Okay, sorry.

-I didn't mean to upset you.
-I'm not upset...

-Well you kind of sound upset.
-I'm not upset.

-Well, you sound upset.
-Yola, I'm not upset.

With all those visits
in the last six years.

Don't you wanna stay over?

Ugh. Uh, it's getting late.

There's gonna be time.
After the funeral.

Well not really. You know,
I fly out in a couple of days.

What? Why?

I've got research to do.

And there's Mateo.

Who's Mateo?

My fiancé.

What?

When did this happen?

Not long ago.

Oh, why didn't you bring him
with you so we could meet him?

I didn't wanna bring him
into all of this.

-What are you so ashamed of?
-Nothing.

He teaches at the University.

It's a busy time of the year for him.

-Too busy for your father's funeral?
-Please don't.

I'll see
you at the church, okay?

Service starts at 11:00.

The bakkie keys are
on the hook at the door.

Uhm. It's got diesel and it runs.
And I have food For his cat.

-His cat?
-Ja, Fish.

He called
the cat "Fish"?

-You know how he was.

I'll keep an eye out.

Congratulations on your engagement.

I'm happy for you.

-It's good to have you back.
-It's good to be back.

Please leave your
message after the tone.

We need to start soon.

I have to drive to Somersville
for a celebration this afternoon.

Gentlemen, it's time.

... Christy...

Sorry.

Jet lag.

After the death of our dear sister,
Christy and,

Mother's hospitalisation, he became
both a mother and a father,

to Yolanda and I.

As some of you may know,

daughters can be difficult.

He ran the house with a firm hand,

but never without love.

I remember,

One day a woman
came to our house crying,

saying that her daughter had been
attacked on the way to school.

And that was the day
that he decided to open a school

for girls on the farm.

That girls like her,

didn't have to walk
the long road into town every day.

That's the kind of man he was.

I always felt like I had a giant tree
standing next to me.

And...

Now that he's gone...

Sorry.

-It's okay. It's okay.
-Yolanda, no.

Yola, not now.
You're gonna cause a scene.

She's just like her mother.

Thank you.

I thought it would be nice
to get outside today.

Yvette?

I know it's not my place.

But I feel like you need to know.

Today is your husband's funeral.

So sorry for the loss.

I'll give you some time.

She's a spitting image
of Yvette at that age.

From the performance just now,

it's not just her looks
she shares with her mother.

Is there any vegetarian food?

Come stand here
with your Aunty Dora.

-You look pale.
-No, I'm fine.

No, you're not.
I'm gonna get you something to eat.

-I made it myself.

Thanks.

Thank you.

My deepest sympathies.
I'm so sorry for your loss.

Thank you.
Thanks so much. Thanks

He was such a lovely man.

This town is really
going to miss your father.

Thank you so much, Greta.

Thank you for coming.
It really means a lot.

-You were meant to be a pallbearer.

Just...
I need to talk to you.

Please get some food and drink in.

Sienna?

Not now.

-Look, I just wanted to say...
-One scene is more than enough.

I'm sorry.

Leave me alone.

-All the pigs?
-All of 'em jeans.

Look, I know it's rough now, but this
isn't gonna last forever.

Things are gonna change soon,
I promise.

You said that last year, really.
And the year before.

Okay.
How much do you need? Huh?

But they're coming
for my tractor next. Okay?

Look, I'll see what I can do.
Alright?

Mmm!
Be careful what we wish for.

Hello Wembley.

Ooh-hoo. Uhm...

...next song is, uh...

stands out as one of the
two songs in my repertoire.

This is kinda personal.

Uh, so it's actually relationship...

obviously... I mean, you know...
aren't they all?

And then, I guess my... this one
is for my mom.

Uh... it's called "Breinskade".

For an absolution.

What can I get you?

Can I have a vodka
with cranberry juice please?

Don't have cranberry.

-Tonic?
-Sure.

Thanks.

Another one?

I'm driving.

You do know that people
around here drive better

when they're drunk right?

It's when they're sober
that you need to watch out.

Then I suppose
it's my civic duty.

Thanks.

Where's that from?

The same place as me I oppose.

Where exactly?

-France?
-Mm-mmh.

A little further west.

Portugal?

-Chile.
-Ah! Cheely.

-Chile!
-Tomato, tomato. Same difference.

No it's not.

Well, I've never met anyone
from Chile before.

Then I'm glad to be your first.

I'll drink to that.

So what brings you here?
There isn't much to see.

I'm here for a funeral.

-Oh, who's?
-Mine at this rate.

That's what I'm talking about.

Charlie.

You gonna have to pay for this one.

...come on man

-We were in the trenches together.
-We were not.

I'm gonna call my firstborn...
I'm gonna call him Charlie.

Dude this is the seventh
one, we cut you off at six. So...

Give another beer would you?

-Can I get you another?
-No thanks, I'm good.

Okay.

-Bernoldus.
-Yola.

Yola.

-Themba.
-Themba.

You must be Sienna's sister.

You know her?

No, I do know her, I do
work for her like plumbing, electric.

I'm a handy man.

That's very informative.

Seriously though,
I'm sorry to hear about your dad.

Thank you.

I'm sorry I couldn't make it
to the funeral.

Sounds like
it was a lot of fun.

News travels fast.

It doesn't have
that far to travel, really.

It's your wife.

-Are you can answer it?
-I'm kinda busy right now.

Rudy, she's not gonna stop.
You know what she's like.

Well this
was your idea, remember?

Rudy?

It's late.

She's worried.

Take a shower.

I like the smell.

She doesn't.

Explain to me. How do you...
how do you dance to this?

Where's the coordination here?

-Show me.
-No, I don't feel like it.

Come on. I think I've got the first
step covered.

It's the second one that's a little
bit mysterious, you know.

-No
-Come on, you want to charm me?

No.

Okay fine let's go! Come.

-'Cause I'm smooth like that.
-No!

-You understand?
-Your key.

Hey.

-Max.
-Yes.

Uhm. Are you sure you can drive?

Yes.

-Let me give you a lift.
-I'm fine, thank you.

You okay?

So which way are you going?

-Wouldn't you like to know?

No, I just want to make sure that
you get home okay, that's all.

Suit yourself.

You okay?

-Yeah. It's such a beautiful evening.
-I know.

Look at the stars.

What happened?

Yola?

Are you okay?
What happened?

It's late.

Thank you for the escort.

You're welcome.

You feeling better?

Just drank too much.

That's cute.
You only had two drinks.

It's more like five.

Can I walk you in?

No.

-You sure?
-Mm-mh.

-Sure, sure?
-Mm-mh.

Sleep well.

-Lindi?

Where's your inhaler?

-At home.
-Okay.

Come. You go home.
We'll cover for you.

I don't really know where to begin.
It's just...

-Lindi.

I just let myself in.
