"And he's obviously not invisible." "Well, maybe he is." "He says he is, so he is." "But I can see him." "Griff:" "Targets identified." "Melody:" "Roger that." "Oven" "He's a 28-year-old man and he's living in a fantasy world." "He's always lived in a fantasy world." "I got him out of it, and now you've put him back." "OK, firstly, I don't think you ever got him out of it, and secondly, this may be fake or delusional to you, but it is real to him and it is real to me." "(Grunting)" "Griff:" "Targets engaged." "Do you read, over?" "How is it real?" "He's a Custom Liaison Officer who thinks he's an invisible superhero." "(Clattering)" "If you want to be his friend, or more, or whatever, then you need to help him to stop, not tell him it's real." "He's not hurting anyone." "He may even be saving them." "Who?" "Invisible people?" "Yes, maybe." "(All grunting)" "OK, so in the real world, where the rest of us live, what do you do with a boyfriend who's a superhero?" "What if you're having dinner with your parents, say," "(Radio crackling) and he suddenly stands up and starts talking about saving the planet" " and having to leave on a secret mission?" " Melody:" "You know what?" "He's not coming over to dinner, Tim." "I would never ask him over because he's Griff, and he needs to grow up." "He would not Ht in with them or anyone else in the real world because he's a freak." "(Static)" "And so am I, and that is exactly why I love him." "(Static)" "(Melody's voice breaking up)" "We see the world one way, and you see it this other way, and because you don't understand, you want to change it, but I don't want to change it." "Maybe the rest of you need to grow up, instead." "Turn the lights on." "Griff?" "(I am under no disguise playing)" "(Doorbell buzzing)" "(Phone ringing)" "# I am under no disguise" "(Grunting)" "# I am under no disguise" "You've called Griff Leave a message, or in an emergency enter the secret pin." "(Indistinct)" "# I am neither breather; nor speaker" "# I am neither walker; nor sleeper" "# I am neither sister; brother;" "son, nor daughter" "# Solely in my chest is my heart, a drum of water!" "Hello." "Thank you." "Come in." "(Knocking on door)" "Melee?" "Dinner's on." "Mum?" "Hmm?" "Do you think that this life, our existence, do you think it's an accident?" "Or do you think it's planned for a reason?" "Oh." "Um..." " Oh, I think..." " And try and ignore religion." "Ignore religion." "Well, I..." "I think it's like gymnastics." "I think that life was inevitable." "I mean, however it was created, whatever happened, you know, whoever did it." "I mean, you look at the stars and you see infinity, and you look into a microscope and you see infinity, and smack bang in the middle of those two extremities, perched on a balance beam, is us." "Life." "In the middle." "Inevitable." "(Laughter)" "Hi." "Where've you been?" "When?" "Oh, yeah, a bit busy." "Just had some stuff to..." "I had to fix some things." "Sorry." "Well, yum yum, chook's bum." "Griff:" "Thank you, sir." "No." "Benson, please." "Griff just got a new job, darl." "Oh, what is it?" "I'm a customer liaisons officer at DHL Transport." "I'm not really sure what that is." "(All laughing)" "Melody and I, we met through Tim." "And Tim and Melody met at a Chinese restaurant." "And now Tim and I are taking cooking classes, and guess what we cooked last week?" "Sweet and sour pork." "Mmm." "Which is Chinese." "It's so funny." "Bronwyn:" "Well, that's a good idea." "Cooking classes for men." "On, whoever's responsible for this meal is in no need of cooking classes." "I don't..." "I don't know about that." "I..." "I must have the recipe." "Bronwyn:" "Of course." "I've always had a flair with food." "Are you sure you won't stay?" "I should get back." "Early start at the office." "But..." "But thank you." "I had a lovely evening." "Well, we'll let you two say goodbye." "Goodnight." "Well, goodnight, my love." "He's nice." "Griff." "Griff, open up!" " Wnat's happening?" " Wnat's happening?" "What's happening?" "Let me see." "I can't do this." " Do What?" " This." "US." "I cannot do this us, Griff." "Wait, you're ending it, already?" " But I thought this was..." " Griff, please." "You're either punishing me, laughing at me, or you were seriously convinced that this is what I want." "No, I don't understand, Melody." "What about the missions?" "What..." "What about your duty to defend the innocent and uphold..." "It's not real, Melody." "I'm not a superhero." "Yes..." "Yes, you are." "What do you miss?" "Did you enjoy laughing at me?" "Was I a dancing monkey, or something?" "It's not real, Melody." "This is real." " No!" " Yeah." " Everything you see here is real." " No!" " This pantry..." " Griff, please don't do this." "Is real." " Rice." "Real." " You were real." " Griff!" " Real!" "Stop it." "Listen, Griff." "I live in a bubble that no one, no one gets into." "I feel like an alien." "I..." "I live in a completely different world to the one everyone else is in." "I can't communicate with anyone." "I can talk to them, but I cannot communicate." "But you," "Griff, you get into my bubble." "Everybody has to grow up." "No, they don't." "I would have loved you." "Forever." "(Crying)" "(Crying)" "Oh, my God." " Oh, my God." "OK." " You just..." " You just went through a door." "Sorry." " Yeah." "How did you..." "How did you..." "You just... (Exclaims)" "I can't believe it." "You can." "You can believe it." "Yeah." "Melody:" "What is it?" "It's a package." "For you." "What were you doing?" "I can't say." "I'm going to put the suit on." "There's probably a note with it." ""Use these to be the only one who can see Griff when he's invisible." ""So he doesn't have to wear the hat."" " Tell me when you're in it." " I'm in it." "Does it work?" "Can you see me?" "Yeah." "Yeah, I can see you." "I can see you."
