"Is there a problem, Mr Gundelach?" "Right, let's get these receipts." "Store receipts, handwritten receipts, print-offs of online purchases." "I said I didn't have a problem with them having a look." "When did you say you bought the torch?" "CHRISTY:" "I don't remember." "Ask our accountant." "And you don't remember, Mr Gundelach?" "Last year?" "Two years ago?" "Three?" "You alright, Mr Gundelach?" "You're bleeding again." "BEN:" "I'm fine." "Perhaps we could take these with us, and you could take Mr Gundelach to a doctor." "Thank you for your time." " Why are you home so early?" "I, um..." "I lost the job at the New Farm house." " What are you doing, Ben?" "I'll get another job."
