[bunniefuu]

Hold his arms out.

I am pregnant.

Is that why you want to go

and see your mumma, hey?

Whoa! Whoa, whoa, whoa! f*ck!

She came back

and almost k*lled you.

Mate, I don't understand

why you would want to meet your

f*ck her! Because why shouldn't

she have to meet me?

Her son's dead, and I'm

I'm f*cking tired.

I feel so sorry for Billie

that her real dad is such

a pathetic piece of sh*t.

Lucky, wake up.

You're seeing that too, right?

Lucky?

You OK?

Come on. Let's go.

Where did they go?

Are they trying

to keep people in or out?

You good?

Yeah. Yeah.

Hey! Oi!

How did you get in there?

Hey.

Come back!

Hey, guys.

Get a grown up for us, will ya?

Please!

Ah, f*ck.

Hey.

Yes, mate?

About what I said last night

on the boat,

um, I shouldn't have said it.

Well

No, I was talking sh*t

and I was trying to

No, it's totally fine.

It's water off a duck's cr*ck.

Hello?

Hi.

Oh, sh*t.

Come on, Lucky. Get up.

This is private property,

I'm sorry.

Oh, yeah, we noticed that,

actually.

It's very clear signage.

My uncle's hurt and we really need

help.

My uncle's hurt and we really need

help.

Yeah, I'm actually

in quite a lot of pain.

Please.

Yeah.

We don't keep any painkillers here.

There's a doctor in Lyeryong,

just another hour upstream.

Ah, look, it's it's

it's serious.

We don't need painkillers,

just water and antiseptic.

Oh, rank.

What? Is Is it OK?

It's not amazing.

What happened?

Well We were camping

and he fell on a stake.

Steak?

Yeah, not like a chop.

Like a tent peg.

Peg?

A peg for your tent and he

tripped on his air mattress pump.

And it just went straight

through his boob.

Straight into my boob,

and then our boat

Oh, yeah, our engine carked it.

We've been drifting for hours.

And then we saw these kids

You were outside the fence?

Oh, not outside.

Oh, no, I'm just probably

seeing things.

Jasmine, Hyacinth, Barley.

Contemplation.

Go, before I call The Father.

Do you know what this place is?

Um No.

Um No.

It's like a karate thing?

Artist retreat or a

Nun nunnery, maybe?

Farm-to-table vibe.

I also hit the back of my head

quite hard,

if that makes a difference.

f*ck.

Please, I need to

Why are they all staring at us?

Maybe they want our shoes.

Hey.

Hey.

Whatever happens

Yeah?

I'm going to be

Just um

try not to be all

sarcastic and hilarious.

Please.

Why would you say that?

Yeah, OK.

Welcome to the Healing

..Healing Centre.

It's a nasty cough you got there,

is it

like a flu or an allergy

We don't have flu.

When his spirit is ready,

the cough will stop.

Right. Well, I hope it stops soon.

Very annoying

for you.

What's your name?

Bacopa.

Bacopa?

You can address her

as, 'Sister'.

I'm Meg and this is

You're not Meg.

I'm pretty sure I'm Meg.

We leave our

shadow names at the gate.

It is the first step in

our journey to Welfullness.

Welfullness. Nice. Ow!

I like that. Could I, uh

Could I get a name for here?

When Sister is finished,

you will be leaving.

But he really He needs to rest.

I'd like to leave my name.

You know, get a, um

Get a plant name.

It is a plant, right?

Yeah. Reckon I'd be 'Lantana'.

Why would you want to be 'Lantana'?

Ah, you get to go wherever

the f*ck you want.

You can be 'Pansy'. Or 'Creeper'.

Get f*cked.

Please.

Sorry.

Oh, hey

I don't suppose you'd have

a charger for this?

Oh, can I just

No, sorry.

Thank you.

I need that.

It's an Entrapment.

- It's an iPhone.

- Thank you, sister.

OK, no, I get it.

I really do.

It's just that I

It's actually quite urgent

that I call my brother.

It's actually quite urgent

that I call my brother.

So, if we could just tick that off

then I'd happily leave my phone.

Please?

You cannot heal,

if you are tethered to technology.

Surely you can see

what it's doing to you.

My phone didn't do this.

I'm a functional alcoholic

and I don't sleep.

My liver's working very hard to

break down some horse tranquiliser.

Wow, that's beautiful.

Who made it?

Sister Willow.

Willow?

So clever. Yeah?

People love them.

How long's she been here?

Well, the council has conferred

and decided because of your

injuries

you should stay the night and rest.

Thank you. Thank you so much.

Sister

finish up and prepare them

for Excoriation.

What's excoriation?

What's that mean?

I think excoriating is like

scrubbing.

Scrubbing?

Scrubbing?

Do you enjoy this?

Oh, yes.

It's my favourite job, actually.

The dirtier the better.

Christ!

Stop being such a sook.

Are they using, like

horse brushes on you?

What? No.

You must be more contaminated

than me.

Should bloody well hope so.

Right.

Ow, hot.

Don't be such a sooker, mate.

How long has this place

been here?

Eight years.

The Father had a revelation

on his 33rd birthday.

He found this place

and led his followers here.

Will we get to meet him?

Father has just begun

a week's silent reflection.

When he emerges,

you will be long gone.

What about Willow? She sounds cool.

Can we meet Willow?

How do you know Sister Willow?

Oh, no. Just Bapoca was

Oh, no. Just Bapoca was

Bacopa.

Bapoc

Bacopa.

Copa was saying

Sister.

Ah, we were talking about how

clever the windy things were.

You got some nasty weeds there.

Nothing a bit of RoundUp won't fix.

Thank god for Monsanto, hey?

Oh, it was just a little joke.

Yes, I've noticed your Moat.

My what, sorry?

The third volume

of 'The Meditations'

defines 'Moat'

as the trenches we dig,

which prevents others

from truly reaching us.

Your moat is jokes.

I like jokes.

I used to like heroin.

Heroin is also nice

so, I hear.

Ha!

Ha!

In this, our sacred Un-naming,

we release the Nominal Entrapment

imposed upon us at birth.

Ha!

We commit to paper,

our shadow names,

so to submit them into flames.

Release us, fire spirit.

Into the way of Welfullness.

Ha!

As we scorch our shadow,

we signal our commitment

to leave behind our ego,

our obsession with

image and comparison

and the capitalistic structures

that leave behind our

and the capitalistic structures

that leave behind our

The capitalist structures

Willow?

M

Everyone,

please clear the temple.

Come in, Father.

What is it?

I'm very sorry, Father.

We appear to have a Code Black.

Ah, well, you know what to do.

Sister, go to the Healing Centre,

and bring me the belongings

of the outsiders, now.

Sage, please come to the temple.

OK.

Just having a little piddle.

I'll be there in a jiffy.

Christ!

Take them.

Oh, hold on.

Hey, hey, hey. Hey!

Easy.

I'm so sorry

for this inconvenience.

I wish you weren't contaminated.

You seem lovely.

I wish you weren't contaminated.

You seem lovely.

Oh, so this is The Shed.

Ah, we call it The Shed,

because, you know

Well, obviously, it's a shed.

Now, I've done a thorough sweep

for spiders, and they're everywhere.

So, I find that if you just give

them a little compliment,

they seem to be far less bitey.

Look, lady

Ah, Sage.

Surely any conversation

that needs to be had,

can be had out in the fresh air.

Oh, definitely.

Yes, the fresh air is so healing.

You know, in my hut,

I don't even have any doors.

It's lovely in the morning.

In you pop.

Are we really being locked

in a f*cking shed right now?

Sister

Oh, I'm so sorry.

I'm so sorry, Sister.

The bowl, it just slipped

out of my hands.

Sister Look at me.

Sister Look at me.

Willow.

Don't do this. You've come so far.

Tell me who they are,

and we can go from there.

We can make this right.

Now.

Who is Eskimo Jonestown?

Meg Adams?

I don't know. Some kid.

Sister,

I have their shadow clothes.

Shall we?

"Liberate yourself from

capitalism".

$350 for two days.

"Esoteric healing breast massage".

Sounds totally legitimate.

Can't think why anyone

would want to offer that service

without peer-reviewed data.

Meg

Meg

What?

- Hey

- f*ck.

She's alive

and she got clean.

Is that what you call this?

"I hope Matty and Meg

are doing well."

When did you send this?

How could you just stand there?

You invited outsiders into our

Can you imagine what

The Father will say?

Sister, I have a status update.

OK, they've been isolated,

but the man looks a little bit

peely-wally,

and the girl's really sad,

which is a real pity,

because it's a lovely day.

Which is a real pity,

because it's a lovely day.

Thank you, Sage.

OK, no worries.

Sister, let's give 'Linda'

some space.

I will go and consult

with The Father.

Your fate is in his hands.

Oh, f*ck!

I kinda get it.

I mean, not the creepy

'massaging cancer away' stuff,

and not the bit

where you get locked in a shed.

But, you know

Trees and yoga.

Kids running wild.

Grow your own food.

No phones. None of the

Just

Just

opt out.

I get it.

Especially if you've had

a tough life.

What was so tough

about her life though?

Karingunna's not that bad.

My dad's nice.

There was me and Matty.

She got sick though, darl.

It happens.

It's not Karingunna's fault.

It's not your dad's fault,

and it's certainly not yours.

She got unwell,

and she couldn't get well.

Maybe here she's better.

You saw her face though, right?

She looked completely freaked out.

Also kind of scared.

Like, kinda trapped.

She'll be alright

when she finds out.

She'll be alright

when she finds out.

Billie.

I mean, you should have told her

years ago, obviously. So

It's going to be a total headfuck.

But, um

Yeah, she's a lucky kid

to have you as her dad.

Come on.

What?

Come on, lift it.

Hello?

Hi. Hi.

Hey.

Hey, what are you doing in there?

Contemplation.

This is contemplation.

We snuck outside. What did you do?

Nothing.

Oh, we didn't

Not

We just

Um, we locked ourselves in here

by accident.

Um, we locked ourselves in here

by accident.

Accident, yeah.

Yeah.

We

I came to

Get some pamphlets.

To get a shovel.

And then the wind

A possum.

Blew the door shut it.

The wind just shut us in.

Yeah, so, uh

We're locked in here with you guys.

We're not locked.

Well, that is really lucky,

because we just talking

about how Hangry.

Thirsty

Thirsty we are.

We're super, super thirsty.

I don't suppose you know how to

get us out.

Hey, kid. No, no, no, no.

Don't move. We Hey!

How How did you

I'm sneaky.

Hey, kiddo.

We're playing a game where the

sneakiest sneaker is the winner.

You want to play?

You want to play?

Yeah, well, first I need you

to help me

get to that glass building

without anyone seeing us.

And then we need to find Willow.

Do you know who that is?

Yeah, she's my mum,

but I'm not meant to call her that.

She's your mum?

But we all call her 'Sister'.

My name's Barley, but you're not

supposed to call me that.

I am Meg.

OK. But I have to call you

'Sister'.

That's OK. You can call me

'Sister'.

You good?

Yeah. Are you?

Yeah, OK, so

find your phone, find some power,

and then we'll meet back here.

What's your plan?

No plan, but, you know

We came this far,

I'm not f*cking leaving

without talking to Mum.

OK?

Barley, where do we go?

Mum, I can explain.

We were sneaking,

but good sneaking.

Yes, I can see that.

You're supposed to be in

Contemplation.

Go back and I'll come and get you

when I think you've done it

properly.

Off you go.

Yeah.

It's amazing what games kids play

when there's no TV

It's amazing what games kids play

when there's no TV

or phones.

He just loves that potato.

Hi, Meg.

Hi, Linda.

Let's get out of here

and find somewhere safe to talk.

Connecting earth and sky.

Ah, oh, f*ck.

Keys. Where are the f*cking keys?

f*ck.

Keys.

OK, um

OK, um

Ah, yes! You motherfuckin'

Charger.

OK.

Ah Ah, sh*t! Oh, dude!

Now you stop coughing.

You shouldn't be in here.

Wait, Bapoca, Bacopa.

Please, I have a daughter in Perth

and she's meant to be arriving

in Sydney in two days

but her dad

Her other dad won't let her come

if I don't call.

Brother, we're a long way from

Sydney.

I know.

I'm trying. I just

I just need

I've got your elbows.

We've both got pointy elbows.

I never noticed they were pointy.

They really are.

Is this your place?

Well done, Sister.

We have broken The Father's

meditation.

Let's not waste his time.

How did you find us?

Does it matter?

No. It doesn't.

But I'm curious.

You too are curious.

You are so much bigger than

the place you're trapped in

and that frustrates you.

Mm. You're stoic too.

Strong.

You've been through so much.

We tell ourselves

that when we go through pain,

when we run into the fire

that when we go through pain,

when we run into the fire

we come out on the other side

to find hope.

And sometimes when we go through

pain

What's on the other side?

More pain.

Sit down, my child.

I'm not your child.

I like your honesty.

So, let me be honest with you.

We have built a community here

that warrants fierce protection.

We have built a family

that is both strong and fragile.

Who is this?

Father, this is Mr Jonestown.

He is contaminated. He has Moats.

He has an infection.

He needs dr*gs, you smiley weirdo.

Can someone get him some water

at least?

f*ck sake.

My son

you're a long way from home,

aren't you?

You're a long way from home,

aren't you?
