"MAN:" "Right, sorry, so the show's on the 16th." "And what..." "Is it a festival, is it?" "How many people would you expect from..." "From start to finish, how many people would you expect?" "We'll say 4,000?" "Keep it going." "No worries." "Now, is alcohol being served at the event?" "No, it's all being charged." "It's a bar, is it?" "Uh, is there food..." "is there food being served?" "Good quality food, or probably just junk food?" "Chips and... pizzas." "Yeah." "And, uh, have you got any Indonesian foods or curries?" "You have?" "Alright." "Well, normally, if it was a non-drinking event, as far as alcohol, and there was no food or curries, for 4,000 people for 10 hours, you'd have five male and five female blocks." "But you've got alcohol being served, as well as the food and you've got curries in there as well, which does make a bit of a difference." "And on the, uh... on the solid to water-based or liquid waste ratio, you've got a 4 to 1." "So it's basically four liquid to one solid." "That's the piss and shit ratio, yeah." "People..." "I must admit, when people find out what I do," "I mean, when they ask what I do, I say I'm a plumber, and they say, "Well, that'd be pretty interesting,"" "and I say, "Well, not that interesting," ""'cause all I plumb is shithouses."" "As you can see, we've got a lot of blocks here." "We've just gotta find one more combo unit and we're on our way." "Where is the bastard?" "How do you lose a 40ft toilet?" "Yeah, most people..." "they always freak out because, of course, they think you're handling the stuff." "They think..." "I don't know whether they think I eat it or whether they think I scrub it on meself." "You know, I plumb it." "See?" "Here's another classic example." "Someone having a 2-inch arsehole and us only having installed 1 -inch piping." "As much as people think you're covered in shit and piss, you're not." "It's 85% of its water." "85 and in some instances up to 90% water." "I know that leaves around about 10% to 15% of shit and piss, but there's some chemicals in there that work on that." "See, this is what we spend half our time cleaning up." "How hard is it?" "I mean, I don't mean to be straight up about it, but, I mean, there's a urinal - you stand here and, being a male, you've got a prong on you which points forward," "so I don't understand how they get it under their feet." "They must point it down." "The funny part is, parents look at me, you know, and say, "Well, that's not much of a job, is it?" ""Did you wish you did something else?"" "I said, "Well, you had kids." ""You spent the first two years handling their shit." ""And you weren't getting paid for that."" "And they're... they shit green." "Only thing that's supposed to be green is apples, pears and Martians." "Stay there." "Yo!" "That's the one." "Pretty lonely old job, this." "We're here before the crowds get here and we're the last to leave." "We miss out on all the fun, don't we, Alf?" "Yeah." "Yeah, shut her off, Alfie, she's all done, mate." "Just make sure you stock up all the poo tickets, boys." "This one's gonna get a flogging today." "Yeah, well, this is where most of the paperwork gets done, obviously." "This is the... realistically, the sciatic nerve of Splashdown." "What we do, normally it's corporate bathroom rentals." "I mean, at the end of the day, it's just a fancy way of having somewhere to shit, isn't it?" "Having a nice place to purge." "But, uh, I mean, other companies..." "Up in Sydney there's one that has a slogan " "'We're number one with your number twos'." "I prefer not to spend too long in the office." "I prefer working outside, but this is obviously where the real business end gets done, so to speak." "Doesn't matter how big the event is or how important the event is, be it a corporate event or a concert, you would think that we'd be the first thing that people would think of because it's the one thing everyone does on most days " "à la me, 10 a.m., every morning, regular as clockwork." "It's never the first thing on their mind, when, realistically, it should be the first thing they think of, because if we don't turn up, grab the business and get going with it," "well, they really are in the shit, aren't they?" "We've got a bit of a drive here because we've gotta drop this load off at mama and papa poo in Werribee." "Funny thing is, a lot of people use the word 'shit' now of course as an abusive word, you know, as a swear word - the sort of word you wanna keep away from kiddies." "But the funny part is, where it came from was when they started to transport manure in the ships so they could use it to fertilize gardens." "Problem was, moisture would get in from the boat, into the bottom of the boat and mix up with some of the manure they were transporting, and it would start to ferment and it would cause a gas," "and the problem was if someone went down there with a candle or lit a match or had a pipe or something down there, sometimes it ignited and there was an explosion on the boat." "After that, they put all the crap in boxes and it had 'SHIT' written on the side of the box and that stood for 'Store High In Transit'." "And that's where it got its name from." "So..." "I don't know whether there's any truth to that story or not, but it's a pretty elaborate, you know, lie." "Bit of a long-winded set-up if someone's made that story up." "I'm going with it." "Yeah, so, I'm having to work a little bit of overtime tonight just to get a couple of extra toilets ready." "We've got a heap of them going out next week." "As you can see, the kids..." "I don't know what they do." "They've broken through that one." "They do all sorts..." "Oh, have a look at this one." "You won't believe this." "Have a look at this." "This one I replaced this morning." "Look at that!" "Eh?" "What kind of curry has that bloke been eating?" "Devil's curry." "Hell's teeth, I tell you." "I've never understood why people all carry on about it." "I..." "I enjoy a good crap, to be quite honest." "I not only enjoy it, I love it." "I don't think it's all pain and anger." "Me, personally, I sit on a toilet for 20-odd minutes, as most men can." "Do you know, it's an interesting fact, as far as smells, apparently your body only is in shock - and sometimes it is shock - for about the first 7 to 12 seconds or something, and after that you get used to it very quickly." "That's why a man can read a newspaper or magazine from front to back, you know, in the toilet, in his own smell, and not notice it." "Mind you, the next person that walks in will think they've been smacked in the head with a poo bat." "But, uh, I don't know, you know..." "If a woman walks in after you, kill 'em." "Knock 'em in half." "I've always understood that people..." "I know everyone does get embarrassed by taking a crap." "You wouldn't wanna be doing it in the middle of Bourke Street, butt-naked, trying to poo into a cup." "I mean, even dogs..." "if you watch a dog crap, even a dog's embarrassed to do poos." "You know when they're doing a poo, they're all bent over like they're trying to root a cricket ball, but even they... even they get embarrassed." "And that's a dog." "And they'll eat it!" "This is, uh..." "What am I down to?" "Four strings." "I was given this guitar by a mate of mine." "He used to play a bit of music." "And he had a bit of an accident." "And, uh... his job, he was working, got his hand crushed in a machine." "He couldn't play the guitar anymore, so he gave me this." "And I always swore I'd learn to play the guitar but I haven't really learnt." "The only thing I've learnt is that if I hit the strings really hard, they break." "I think it takes a certain kind of person to do what I do and it's just about having a thick skin." "No-one's ever impressed with what you do." "No-one's ever fascinated or no-one ever wants to come and see what you do, or..." "I imagine, if you were a fireman, all the kids would want to jump on the back of the truck and follow you to a fire." "There's gonna be no kids keen to do that." "I don't do it for the glory." "I don't do it to impress people." "It's a job." "But, you know, it's... it's what I know." "It's my trade." "And I actually think I'm pretty good at it." "That's not bad stuff, that." "As you can see, I've got a few different aftershaves, which obviously, in my line of work, doesn't hurt to have a few of those on hand." "A bit of an arsenal." "These are, uh... a mate of mine, he's over in Japan at the moment." "You should have a look at these." "These are pictures..." "they're pictures of a toilet." "They must stand over it." "God knows how they keep that clean." "Over here, you sit right on the pan and they still miss it." "How would you be...?" "There's Robbo's feet there." "See?" "Look at this thing here." "It's out of 'Star Wars' or something." "This is the toilet here." "And see the armrest?" "That's the control panel for it." "He hasn't explained what they all are." "But it's got two different settings for a water jet to shoot up your date - must be to wash it or something." "This must be the heater, or God knows what that is." "And, jeez, look at this." "This has got a speed dial." "And I don't know what that is, whether it's a television or it takes an X-ray of your..." "You know, I tell you what, this'll be the future." "We'll all be sitting on space-age shitters." "Not one single photo of his holiday trip." "I wouldn't have a clue where he's been, but I know he's had two craps." "MAN:" "What's the go with putting the toilets outside of the venue?" "Well, that was where we were told to put it originally." "Not on the drawing." "Well... even though it's on the outside of the fence, the fence has been moved from where I was told it was gonna be." "I can't move it now." "You'd have to be Andre the Giant to lift it up." "It's a couple of ton a unit." "Well, can we get it sorted by the end of today, or...?" "Well, to do it, I'll have to unplumb it, turn the water off, get a crane." "I mean, I can have a go." "You want me to ring the boss?" " Yes." "Alright, I'll ring Glenn and I'll come and see you." "Are you at the manager's hut?" "Yep." "Or I'm on a two-way." "Just please get hold of me." "Alright." "Done." "Thank you." "Jeez, this'll be great." "He wants us to move the toilet." "Well, they reckon we've put the toilet in the wrong spot." "Well, I didn't drop it off - Tom did." "But it's just outside the front fence, which is where I thought it was supposed to go." "MAN ON P.A.:" "The F-111 lands... (MOBILE PHONE RINGS)" "This could be a little bit colorful." "That's from me... me ex-wife." "We're separated." "Apparently, me little boy's putting on a bit of a show." "I have to give her a ring." "I won't be..." "Yeah." "Don't yell in the phone." "What... what..." "what has he called you?" "Oh, jeez." "Well, do you want to put him on the phone to me?" "Yeah, well, oh, it's a bit different." "I'm a grown-up, mate." "You're still a boy." "Yeah, well, you're gonna have to pull your head in a bit." "You can't be carrying on like a bloody raw prawn." "Alright." "Yeah, well, maybe just steady on a bit, eh?" "Just try and pull it up a bit." "No, I understand that, but she's still your mother, mate." "It doesn't matter what I say." "Yeah, I know I said that, but we were a bit heated that day." "There's no need to be repeating that." "Alright, well, just try and settle down a bit." "No, mate, the first time I ever saw" "Glenn shove his hand down a bowl, and that's the owner of this company, turned up in a suit, mate, he ripped his shirt off, straight into the shit." "And I got there, and I said," ""There's fuckin' a man after my own heart" ""that'll do anything."" "His arm's into it." "It's nice to have a boss that knows what we're going through at last." "Do you know, I sometimes feel a bit lucky that I've got this job." "In this job, I must admit," "I've had a chance to see some great stuff." "And I work with a good bunch of blokes." "And, you know, that's more than anyone can ask for." "I tell you what, Robbo, do you mind if I lob here tonight?" "I'll have a few more beers." "I don't give a shit at all, mate." "Eh, you can even stay in that bed, and I'll make a bed up for myself..." "No, no." "I'm not gonna stay in your bed, Robbo." "It's your joint." "Ah, well, there's no problems, brother." "There's a lounge there." "There's a bed there." "Hey, no worries." "You've got the whole lot." "You know, the funny part is everyone will deny the fact that they look at their poo, but everyone does." "The ancient Greeks..." "Cop this one." "The ancient Greeks, they used to use poo, back in..." "I mean, talking 2,000 years ago, when Christ was alive." "They used to look at their poo, or people's poo to forecast the future." "Mind you, if they'd seen some of the poo I've seen at some of the festivals, the future looks pretty bleak." "But they used to use it to forecast the future, back 2,000 years ago." "Hey, Darren, have you got power to those toilets across there yet?" "This is the busiest time of year." "This is the crazy time." "Obviously, when the sun comes out, every bastard has a festival, and we get flogged like crooked dogs in a..." "It's a mongrel." "It just goes bonkers." "It's as silly as a bum full of Smarties." "I often sing 'Advance Australia Fair'." "There's nothing wrong with having a bit of national pride." "Problem is, when I first heard it," "I used to think the song was, the words were," ""Australians all let us ring Joyce," ""'cause she is young and free."" "So, obviously, I was making a goose of myself, right up until the old man set me straight on the words." "I sing it right now." ""Australians all let us ring Joyce."" "God." "You know, I get to see some great stuff doing this job." "And it's never boring." "But, I mean, you know, I hear of people all the time and you read about it - people sitting behind their desk at work terrified that the next day they're gonna be out of work." "Well, that's not something I've ever gotta worry about." "You know, it's not like my business is gonna dry up overnight, is it?" "How you been?" "Well?" "Excellent." "I haven't seen you forever." "I'll catch up with you there." "OK." "See you, mate." "See you." "That's a mate from school." "That's a guy I went to school with." "That's Macka." "I must admit, I thought you'd got a bit taller since I'd seen you, but you've got these bloody boots on." "They're different from the footy boots you strapped on when we were at school, mate." "There's not too much I regret about doing this job." "I think I've worked a lot of hours, and it's probably aged me a bit." "You know, some of my mates reckon I'm looking a bit worn." "Well, I lost my missus." "I lost her out of it." "That was..." "Well, I didn't lose her." "I know where she is." "She just left me, but, uh it bit me on the arse pretty hard when she was leaving me." "You know, it was one tax I didn't expect to pay in this job, and that was losing me missus." "But when you spend more time with other people's poo than you do your own wife, you've gotta pay the penalty." "MAN:" "Do you know that 70% of marriages fail?" "70%." "I mean, you hear of so many stories of that whole that same scenario." "You know, you get married and a week later they break up or something or, you know, it doesn't work." "Or, you know, sex doesn't happen or something." "Or, you know, she goes off you or something." "Or, you know, the parents are around every day or something." "Or you can't support them, give them what they want, because they came from, you know, a wealthier background or something than you, and you're wishing that you could, you know, support it more than that, but you can't," "because you just... you can't." "I always get a little bit nervous when Pat comes in for one of his little chats." "Sadly, Pat's chosen to learn from my life's mistakes instead of learning from his own." " So... you still loved her in the end?" " Or did you...?" "Oh, it was a little bit hard to love someone that hates you." "Yeah." "Don't worry too much." "If you worry too much, you'll drive yourself mad." "By the time you cut the wedding cake, you'll cut the table in half, you'll be that nervous." "A wedding is an "I do" kind of day." "That's all your pressure is." "Remember that - "I do."" "Do you want to marry this woman till the rest of your life?" ""I do."" "Are you ready to go to the park?" "Do you want to have photos taken next to her now that you've married her?" ""I do."" "Do you want to go on the honeymoon and do the horizontal folk dance?" ""Yes, love, I do."" "Just, all you've gotta remember is "I do"." "There's no pressure, you know?" "If you think of it like that, then it's not that big a deal unless a bloke comes down in the wedding dress, then you'll know your day's gone to shit." "But that's not gonna happen, is it?" "I don't know whether I'm necessarily the right person to be asking about all this, to tell you the truth, Pat." "Mine failed." "I don't... you know" "I once heard a guy say," ""Cut out the middle man " ""find someone you hate and give them a house."" "Now, if you want to be negative about it, that's the way you'd look at it." "You've been there." "I haven't been there yet." "You've been through that." "I mean, I'm asking you because you you were there for 14 years." "But that's..." "that was my missus." "You're gonna marry someone different." "And that's..." "If you were gonna marry my ex-wife," "I'd have a ton of stuff to tell you." "Is this the right person?" "Is this the right time?" "Is this the right...?" "Hello." "WOMAN:" "Yeah, come in." "Yeah, it's only me." "How are you?" " Yeah, OK." "It's a fair old day outside, isn't it?" "There's the boy." "How are you, boy?" "You right?" "You right to go?" "All good." "You've got some stuff packed and a towel?" "Alright." "Well, we'll get going, eh?" "We'll hit the road." "What do you say, mate?" "We'll be back, well, I don't know what time." "We're just gonna head off down the beach now." "So..." " I need him back by 4:00." "I'm sorry?" " I need him back by 4:00." "What?" "Well, it's midday now." "How am I gonna have him back by four o'clock?" "I've got plans." "I need him back by 4:00." "Look, you want to jump in the car, mate?" "Grab your toy there." "Jump in the car." "I'll be one sec." "I'm just gonna have a little chat to your mother." "It would've been nice to have known this at 8:00 this morning when I rang." "We're going down to Ocean Grove." "It'll take me an hour and a half to get there." "I don't give a shit." "I need him back at 4:00." "We're just taking him down to see his grandfather." "If I've got him back by 4:00, we'll only spend 30 minutes there." "It would've been nice to have known this this morning, though." "I'm taking the boy down to see his grandfather, not that you seem to be too plussed about that." "Alright." "Jesus Christ." "Hey, do you want to jump in the front with your old man, mate?" "You don't want to jump up the front there?" "We've got the front seat." "You can sit up with me and..." "Alright." "Well, please yourself." "You're right in the back there, then?" "Alright." "How you been, mate?" "You been good?" "Hey?" "Well, er, we'll get you down to your granddad's." "We're just gonna go down to Ocean Grove, to the beach." "You like it down at the beach, don't you, mate?" "What do you say, eh?" "Dad, are you going to hell?" "Am I going to hell?" "Well, no, I'm not going to hell." "Not as far as I know." "Why's that?" "Because Mum said..." "Mum said you don't believe in God." "Mum said I don't believe in God?" "And that's why I'm going to hell?" "Well, mate, er..." "Look, I tell you what." "When God introduces himself to me," "I'll give him my full attention." "I'll give him 150%, mate." "But until then, I'm just a little bit busy." "Jesus, and I'm going to hell, she reckons." "(Sighs)" "To be quite honest, I think I'm already in it." "(Mutters) Am I going to hell!" "(Giggles) (Sings) # Australians all" "# Let us ring Joyce" "(Both sing) # For she is young and free" "# She's free... #" "(Boy giggles)" "You know, if my son ended up doing this job," "I don't think I'd be that upset by that." "If he was happy, and he had good people around him like I've got good people around me, and he's making OK money and he's proud of what he does as a trade - 'cause, don't forget, it is a trade..." "Hello?" "...I'd be stoked for him." "You there, Dad?" "Hey, mate, how are you going?" "Oh, you made it, I see." "I did." "Good to see you again." "Say hello to your grandfather, son." "You better..." "Wait on, boy." "Take your shoes off." "You might have to pop them off." "You'd better get yours off too." " Alright." "We'll pop them off." "Right." "Have you been well?" "Oh, yeah." "Listen..." "Eh, eh, just before..." "No, wait on." "I've just had that scotchguarded there." "You'd better get these off." "You'd better get these off." "Well, they're clean." "I mean, I haven't been..." "I've only dropped into the office this morning." "There's no business on them." "I'm actually going to a job tonight." "Well, they don't look too flash to me." "Get them off." "I'll get you..." "I've got something you can wear." "Here, I've got..." "Get them off, would you?" "Well, I can't run around in me jocks, Dad." "No, well, I've got something." "I've got a gown here you can put on." "No-one's gonna see you." "For Christ's sake." "Just take them off." "Jesus Christ." "Well, what am I gonna wear?" "I've got a gown here." "I've got a gown, I said." "So what else is news, Dad?" "What have you been doing?" "Oh, not a lot." "There's not a lot to do down here." "It goes past with monotonous regularity." "Just don't take your foot off the thing." "Just let me move that up." "Sure." "I'll get a couple of coasters there for..." "Won't be a tick." " Alright." "There you go, young fella." "Don't..." "Try not to spill that." "Just keep..." "keep your eye on him." "He'll be right, Dad." "There you go, son." "There's your water for you." "I'll give you a tea." "I'm a bit light on for coffee." "My pension doesn't come through till next week." "Did you ring that bloke that I told you to ring about the job?" "No, I didn't..." "No, I haven't rung him." "Why not?" "He's a good mate of mine." "Why didn't you ring him?" "I'm not saying he's not a good mate of yours, Dad." "It's just I don't need to ring him." "I've got a job." "Yeah, but I'm talking about a real job." "I'm talking about a real job." "I've got a real job, Dad." "I'm a plumber." "Yeah, plumber, my arse." "I know what you are." "Here, young fella." "You better go outside and eat that." "I don't want you dropping crumbs all over the floor." "Sit on... outside." "Take your hat, mate, so..." "You might get a bit of sun out there." "Pop your hat on too, eh?" "I'm a little... a little disappointed in you, son." "In me?" "Disappointed..." "disappointed with what?" "It's a full-time job, Dad." "I'm working six to seven days a week and I'm pulling in over $1,200." "Yeah, what, a full-time job?" "I didn't put you through school for you to become a fuckin' glorified turd burglar, and that's all you fuckin' well are!" "I'm a plumber, Dad." "I'm a plumber." "Oh, plumber, my arse!" "Don't say this stuff in front of the boy." "I won't say it in front of him." "That's why I sent him outside." "I'm not a ding-a-ling." "You never see a man, you never come to see me and when you come here, all you wanna do is argue." "I don't wanna argue." "I've just got a job." "As soon as you can accept that I've got a full-time job..." "I thought you'd be glad to see me." "I am glad to see you, Dad." "I've just driven down here to..." "Of course I'm glad to see you." "And the lad's growing up." "The last time I saw him, he was about this high, and have a look at him now - he's nearly fuckin' 6ft." "You don't bring him near the place." "What, are you ashamed of me or something?" "Of course I'm not ashamed of you, Dad." "Aw, it gives me the shits, it does, boy." "You've never appreciated anything I've done for you." "Oh, it's not about appreciation, Dad." "I'll just wash this cup." "Pop your shoes on, mate." "Here, young fella." "Here." "Put that in your kick and be good to your dad, alright?" "Here, give us a cuddle." "Thank Granddad for the 20 cents." "Say thank you..." "Thank you." " Alright." "Off you go." "I wanna have a talk to your father." "Keep your eye on the boy and don't have him running round like a wild navvy, for Christ's sake." "I never let you get away with any of those things." "If you don't rule them with a rod of iron, they'll make an arsehole of you out in public when you take them out." "He's alright." "Yeah, he's alright." "Well, keep him that way." "Alright, well, I'll see you again." "Alright." "Don't make it so long next time, for Christ's sake." "A man never sees you." "You never come to visit me." "I'll see you soon." "As soon as I've finished..." "And if you get a chance, ring that bloke about that job." "It won't happen, Dad." "Good to see you." "Alright." "See you." "(Mutters indistinctly)" "Righto." "One!" "Two!" "Three!" "Move!" "I mean, this is kind of my outlet, you know?" "On the job sometimes, you know, you get a few smarties - you know, a couple of clever dicks on the job that always wanna have a go at you." "And, you know, they're all full of Dutch courage and got themselves full of the Batman juice." "So I started doing this as a little bit of insurance, a bit of self-insurance." "(BELL RINGS)" "Out!" "In!" "Out!" "(Speaks unintelligibly)" "What's that?" "A little bit quicker, mate." "(Speaks unintelligibly) A little bit quicker!" "(Speaks unintelligibly)" "The only hard bit sometimes is, with the head gear on, plus I'm actually slightly deaf in one ear - my right side... (BELL RINGS)" "Hook - right hand!" "What?" "Hook - right hand!" "Right." "Sorry." "Takes it out of me, this, but I do enjoy doing it, the old boxing." "Beat the shit out of each other and get back to work." "I don't make the rules up." "I don't make the plans." "We get all given the same map." "You've gotta be more conscious of what other guys are doing, mate." "You want three units, so we'll need to get that truck in there." "WOMAN:" "The toilet over there is disgusting." "There's piss all over the walls." "It's gross." "You really should try and maintain them." "PAT:" "You'd think it'd be a simple thing." "150 bucks a head. $150." "I kind of think what I could do with $150 for 200 people." "Which way?" "Over this way?" "Hey, hang on, hang on!" "Sorry, love!" "WOMAN:" "If you don't mind!" "Sorry." "I'm actually here with..." "I'm here with the... toilet company." "Sorry, love." "I didn't see anything, if that makes any difference." "Jesus." "You know, I wouldn't mind..." "They could shit on the floor, I can cope with that." "This is what annoys me the most - this stuff." "Look, 'Davo waz here'." "Can't spell for a starter." "'Davo waz here'." "What a claim to fame that is." "Imagine if he went to, er..." "Imagine if he got to the Eiffel Tower." "He'd want a golden handshake, a fuckin' brass band and a fireworks show." "This is his claim to fame." "He's been to our shitter." "What a fuckin' muppet." "PAT ON TWO-WAY RADIO:" "Kenny, are you there?" "KENNY ON TWO-WAY RADIO:" "Yeah, go ahead, Pat." "Listen, mate." "I need you down at the block." "A bit of a situation here." "We've got... (Voice breaks up)" "I can't hear you." "You're breaking up." "I need you here to have a look and..." "I'll be there in a minute." "Just hang on a second." "Jeez." "Just found him here." "See if you can undo that chain." "What the bloody hell's...?" "You right, mate?" "Can you...?" "Hey, mate?" "You alright?" "How are you going?" "Wake up, tiger." "Hang on, hang on." "(Man yells) Simon!" "Don't touch me!" "Don't touch me!" "KENNY:" "Jesus." "Well, he was passed out when we got here." "He wasn't even awake so we had to kind of wake him up." "And as soon as we woke him up, and he realized that he was chained and handcuffed to the toilet, he just went berserk." "(Yells) Peter!" "I don't know." "Maybe he's on drugs or something." "He was jumping round like a fish." "MAN:" "You bastards!" "No, no, it's..." "He's on a bucks night or something." "He's probably got some mates here somewhere." "They've drawn on him with texta." "FIREMAN:" "What's your name?" "I'm Kenny..." "Smyth." "S-M-Y-T-H." "(Man yells indistinctly)" "Listen, I've got my own car here, alright?" "I drove here." "I drove here by myself." "Arggh!" "Where the fuck...?" "Simon!" "Sandra's gonna kill me." "Sandra's gonna kill me!" "Funny, isn't it?" "Of all the people I could have had with me while I was witnessing this guy's bucks night gone wrong..." "MAN:" "I own my own fuckin' house!" "...I had to have Pat." "I wanna go home." "I wanna go home!" "I will hear about this for the next fortnight." "Have a good night, fellas." "Thanks, fellas." "This is just what you guys needed tonight, wasn't it?" "FIREMAN:" "Exactly!" "(Laughs)" "You didn't see anything at all?" "PAT:" "No, I walked in and saw him." "Ugh!" "Jeez." "Oh!" "What's the weather like down there, Kenny?" "Oh, yeah, it's great, Sammy." "It's great." "What's this Pat's bloody story?" " Eh?" "Oh, he's giving me the shits lately." "What are you...?" "Huh?" " Pat." "It doesn't actually take a genius at times to figure out who are the square pegs in a room full of round holes." "We've got a new guy, Sammy, who started with us." "Nice bloke." "He's a hard worker, there's no doubt about that, but he's hard work." "Always going on about this bloody marriage and, "Is this gonna go right?"" "or "Is that gonna go bloody right?"" "Is he gonna marry her or not?" "I'd say so." "They've got a wedding." "He's either gonna marry her or not marry her." "If he ain't gonna marry her, I'll give her one." "Look, mate." "I understand what you're saying, I really do, and I am hearing you, but, mate, what you've gotta understand is there is a smell in here that is gonna outlast religion, alright?" "So can you just give me ears a rest for a minute?" "Just give it a break for a sec and we'll talk about it later, alright?" "I'd appreciate it, mate." "Now you know how I feel." "Yeah, I do." "Just like Pat - full of shit." "Keep going that way, over towards the ambulance." "Face it, she's had too many drinks, mate." "It doesn't matter whether she's drunk or on drugs, just get her through, will you?" "Just push the crowd, will you?" "Just push, will you?" "Get in front and push the crowd out of the way." "I'm trying to get through but I can't." "I often get nervous on days like these at these big beach festivals, you know." "They draw a very big crowd and we quite often have to bring in extra crew." "You know, with half the kids on the wacky tobaccy and the fruity disco biscuits, you know, they're as mad as a clown's cock." "Yeah, I am, actually." "I've got a little girl." "She's been into two toilets." "There's no toilet paper at all." "Are you doing your job here?" "If you have a toilet, you have to have paper, understand?" "We do, mate." "I'm sorry." "I mean, we're filming..." "Don't be sorry." "Don't do it again." "Make sure there's paper." "We'll get it fixed up for you." "I've gotta go now." "OK, what I'll do..." "Sam, I want you to stay with Pat, OK?" "You stay with him for another couple of hours." "Have a look at this here." "This is half my trouble here." "See, he's supposed to be looking after that toilet I've been getting all the complaints about." "He's from university or something." "He's the one that rang us and said he wanted to make a few extra bucks, and look at him." "I've gotta tell you something, mate." "I appreciate you want some food, but we've had nothing but complaints from your toilet block and you're over here eating and watching the festival." "I just left Dave over there with it." "I just nipped over here literally just nipped over here for this." "It's been a big day for all of us." "I've been here since six o'clock this morning." "I know you guys come on at midday." "There'll be food available later on." "Oh, right." "No, I didn't know." "If you can just head back to the toilets, you're gonna need to give them a clean." "You'll figure it out." "All you do is keep toilet paper and keep it clean." "It's unbelievable, isn't it?" "Like I said, he's probably studying to be an accountant or something." "He can't even clean a shitter." "WOMAN:" "No." "How much longer?" "Look, it looks clean to me." "It looks fine." "If you'd have seen it five minutes ago, love, you wouldn't have thought so." "But there you go." "Sorry about that." "In you go." "Have a look at this." "Mate, I've had three complaints about the girls toilets already." "There's just, like, so many people in there at the moment," "I don't want to, er..." "I can't really go in." "There's gonna be a lot of people in there all night." "It's a festival." "Even with the girls in there?" "That's your job." "You can throw it over the top of the door." "They need paper more than they do conversation." "Rightio." "Alright." "Jeez." "PAT:" "I've just gotta talk to you about something." "Yeah, what's wrong?" "I've been here for 12 months." "He's been here for two weeks!" " Yeah." "And he's honestly, he's constantly telling me what to do." "He's really starting to piss me off." "I mean, is there a hierarchy here or something?" "No, no, there's no hierarchy, Pat." "We're all shitkickers, mate." "There's no pecking order in poo, mate." "Well, no, but at the same time, you know, there's a loyalty there if you've been here for two weeks, or if you've been here for 12 months." "I mean, he thinks he's in charge." "MAN:" "Hey, Kenny?" "Yes, mate?" "This woman, she's lost her ring down the toilet." "Which woman?" "Which one?" "She's just that one over there." "What's she done?" "She's lost her wedding ring down the toilet and she wants us to get it out." "So what do you do?" "You'll need to deal with that." "Look, you head over there and get a start on it and I'll come over and help you out." "But how do you..." "Well, you've just gotta fish it out." "I'll be over there in five minutes." "You've gotta get in real quick, mate, because it'll settle." "You've gotta get into it pretty straightaway, mate." "You've had a pretty easy day." "You've had a good day so far and this is something you have to do." "We do it all the time." "We've promised we're gonna get her ring and that's what we have to do." "I reckon I could feel it with gloves if I had some gloves." "Mate, you're gonna have to take my word for it." "If you put the gloves on, you're not gonna feel the ring." "There's nothing..." "Mate, it only happened a minute ago." "It's gonna be sitting pretty much on the top of the pile." "That's why you can't have gloves or you'll push it straight into it." "Just bung your hand down there and grab it, and as soon as you're done, we'll wash her ring, obviously, and your hand and it'll all be over." "It's 85% water, mate." "There's nothing to worry about." "I thought this would be corporate bathrooms, you know." "It says 'corporate bathrooms'." "It's only a logo." "I thought it'd be businessmen and stuff." "You reckon all the girls on Virgin Airlines are virgins?" "Sorry." "But..." "I'll do it myself." "(Locks door)" "Good luck with his bloody degree." "Jesus." "How are you going, love?" "Well, there you go." "We got it back." "That's her there." "That's your ring, isn't it?" "That's the one." "Thanks." "Fantastic." "Well, there you go." "OK." "Hang on." "You right?" "It's a bit embarrassing." "No, it happens all the time." "It's not the first time." "I'll pop it in there for you." "Thanks for that." " No worries." "I'll see you later, then." "Great, this is." "I've bloody..." "I've been held up here and now I've just found out" "I've gotta drive the truck back to the depot, and I'm supposed to be at my brother's birthday tonight." "I will say one thing, and that is today's just about got me beat." "I'm not exactly gonna be the life of the party tonight." "Today was..." "Today was a pretty long day." "Like I said, I can't let you in." "With what you're wearing," "I can't let you in there tonight, alright?" "I understand." "Well, can you go in?" "No, I can't." "I need to stay here and look after this door." "I can't let you in." "He's just in here." "Sorry, can you get David?" "Yeah, can you grab him for us?" "One minute, mate, alright?" "Just one minute." "I'll come back out once I've found him." "Thanks, mate." "Go home, get changed and come back." "I'm not introducing you to people in fuckin' overalls." "Jesus Christ." "I wouldn't do that to you." "Did I fuckin' turn up to your 21stin a fuckin' pair of shorts?" "Well, look, it wouldn't worry me, would it?" "Look, I'd go home and get changed, but it's gonna take me 2 to 2.5 hours." "I've gotta go to Werribee and dump a load in the truck, so..." "Alright, then." "How about I give you a ring during the week?" "I'd prefer if you came back, but if you've gotta do that, do that." "Well, I won't have time." "I'll ring you during the week." "Happy birthday anyway." "Thank you." "Alright." "Have a good one." "Thanks, mate." "Thank you." "I have very fond memories of my childhood." "You know, David and I were brought up on a farm in sort of northern Victoria." "Mum and Dad were... they were farmers." "They had an orchard." "And that's where I spent my entire youth, you know." "I'd only ever been to the city..." "We used to come down to the city on the fruit runs when it was time to deliver all the fruit to the market." "I try and get down here pretty much every year for Mum's birthday." "Mum brought me these gloves." "They're beauties." "Little sleeve there with a button as if they're off a suit." "Good sense of humor, my mother." "I don't know if David comes down here much and I know Dad still finds it pretty hard, but I actually like coming up and, you know, I don the gloves and I give her marble cubbyhouse" "a bit of a once over, you know." "Give it a bit of a spruce up." "Good... good fun lady, my mum, and well-liked in the town, you know." "'Big cake lady', they'd call her." "She wasn't a good cook, but she made big cakes, and that was pretty popular with all me mates." "Very affectionate woman, my mum." "When you were being hugged by her, you knew you were being held because Mum's shape..." "from behind, she looked like a fridge with a head, but, you know, you knew you were being cared for, you know, 'cause Dad's emotional bank account had two cents in it." "So Mum let you know you were loved and Dad kept the work going to keep the money coming in." "And that's the way it was in those days, you know." "MAN OVER P.A.:" "Drivers in the drag-racing category, could you move to lane six?" "It's a pretty strange place, I suppose, to have a church at a racetrack." "They've actually got it here for the drivers, somewhere that they can say a prayer before they go out to a dangerous race, which I think is good." "I hope no-one ever gets offended by the fact that I come here and have something to eat, but I don't think anyone does." "I mean, I'm just having a sandwich, you know." "I mean, after all, it is bread " "I'm having my daily bread, you know." "And I don't think you need to be religious to feel the effects of a church, and that's why I choose to come and sit here." "You know, it's a very calming place." "(CAR ENGINES REV LOUDLY)" "You know, I think the racing event they put on here is sensational." "I mean, there is something here for everybody." "But wouldn't you know it, you still get the same old pack of pinheads that wanna ruin it for everyone else." "They camp at the southern end of the racetrack and they get up to all sorts of mischief." "The thing that really gets my goat about these monkeys is that we have to, by law, supply them with these toilets, right?" "And every year, without fail, after the end of the last race, they set fire to the bastards." "What we'll do is if we can get up there 15 minutes before the last race starts, right, before the Pitman Challenge, and the only way we can get there, right, is via the racetrack." "If we drive around the other side of the track, jump over the barrier and we stand with them, that'll be enough to deter them from setting fire to them." "Can't the cops do that?" "Well, no, they can't." "Our job's to save the toilets, alright?" "Shut up, Pat, they're not worried about fuckin' toilets." "What's wrong with you, you plonker?" "We haven't..." "Guys, just focus for a minute, alright?" "There's only a few more cars to drag, so we should get going now, right?" "You know, if I can just save one toilet, I'll be happy, I reckon." "You have got to be joking!" "It's the equalizer, isn't it?" "Oh, Jesus Christ, fellas, can we just work together?" "Can we just work together on this one?" "Put the bloody thumper bar away, mate!" "Shit!" "Jesus Christ." "The fuckin' race has started." "Look, just pull over." "Hey, shut up." "Hang on, boys!" "Just hang on!" "Shut it!" "For fuck's sake!" "Just keep... (TRUCK HORNS BLARE)" "We're here driving in the middle of a truck race..." "Don't worry about anything!" "(Yells indistinctly)" "Just hang on!" "Let me concentrate!" "Now, shut up, for Christ's sake." "Are the boys on the back alright?" "Pat, just look at the boys in the back." "Are they alright?" "I don't believe it, Pat." "You're fuckin' like a nancy fuckin' ninny!" "Guys, can we just calm down?" "!" " He is out of control." "What do you mean 'out of control'?" "!" "You are fuckin' out of control." " I'm not out of fuckin' control!" "Please, do me a favor..." "Oh, Jesus Christ, they've already lit one of the toilets, the bastards!" "Alright, guys, there's a break, come on!" "Come on." "Go, go, go!" "Go to the wall!" "Oh, look at these mongrels." "What are you doing, Pat?" "What are you doing?" "!" "Sammy, wait for..." "Sammy?" "!" "Sammy?" "!" "(Crowd roars)" "Get it up." "Oi!" "You spilled my beer, you bastards!" "Let go of him." "Oh, Jesus!" "Put it out, Thommo." "Put it out." "No, mate, me!" "Leg, leg, leg!" "Oh, jeez." "Get it, Thommo." "Put it out." "Get it!" "Right, that's enough!" "You've all had enough fun now, alright?" "(Crowd cheers) Come on, you've had your fun!" "Get going, you hoons!" "Let's lock 'em all up, boys." "They're unlocked." "Let's lock 'em up." "Alright." "You right?" "Yeah, I'm alright." "Everyone alright?" "Pretty crazy old night that one, wasn't it?" "I mean, that's really put me to the end of my test tonight, I tell you what." "That's... that's almost my limit, I reckon." "I mean, no man should be set on fire trying to save one of his shitters, you know." "It's... ridiculous." "(Men sing drunkenly)" "The problem is it's Glenn's decision," "I won't be able to have you here and I'm sorry it's worked out that way." "All I did was trot up there to try and save the fuckin' toilets." "But you punched the guy out." "He got in the way." "Sammy, every event we do, there's people in between us and the toilets." "If you run around punching people out every time you've gotta get to a toilet, we'll have to be sponsored by Don King, mate." "We're plumbers, you know what I'm saying?" "Well, where was Pat?" "Pat was doing a backward flip, wasn't he?" "Mate, I know he was going backwards." "He's not cut of the same mustard of you and me, mate." "And the point is, he's paid as a plumber, not a title fighter." "He's a toilet cleaner, mate." "Mate, the decision's been made." "And the reality is that I've just gotta let you go." "I need this job big-time, I'm telling you." "I need it." "I'm gonna be evicted from me house." "If I lose this job, I'm gonna have nowhere." "No, you can't sack me." "You tell him I'll be here seven o'clock Monday morning." "Sammy, I can't do that, mate." "You know that." "The only thing I can do for you just to get you out of a tight spot is I can lend you some money here." "Throw that in your skyrocket there." "Thanks, Kenny." "I appreciate it." "That's alright, mate." "Just sit there and have a rest for a minute." "And just let me grab you a coffee and just sit there for a minute and have a rest, eh?" "(BELL RINGS)" "Go, Kenny, go!" "Dig deep!" "Go on!" "Dig deep!" "Kenny, what are you doing?" "!" "Come on, Ken, work!" "Work it!" "Work!" "Hold it up!" "What are you doing, Kenny?" "!" "Come here!" "You can't train like this, mate." "You either gotta give it a fair go or get out." "Now get in there and have a go." "I might call it a night, eh?" "I'm not feeling up to it." "You've gotta have someone else to do this." "I can't do all this with all the work we've got on." "With Sammy gone and bloody Pat off getting married, Glenn," "I can't do this." "GLENN:" "Look, you're going." "I've already booked the tickets." "What do you mean..." "And you're flying business class too." "But you told me about this show." "This show's enormous." "Can't you go?" "Listen, relax, you're getting too wound up about it." "We'll cope down here, alright?" "What's this?" "Believe me, mate, you'll have a ball." "It's Nashville, Tennessee." "You'll get over there, you work a couple of days, the rest you'll just enjoy yourself." "Did you know about this?" "(PHONE RINGS)" "I'll be buggered." "Me own business cards." "(Chuckles)" "WOMAN:" "Hello, Mr. Sacks, how are you?" "MAN:" "Fine, thank you." "Very good." "It's on the far side, thank you very much." "How are you going?" "Hello." "Mr. Smyth, that's the far aisle, thank you." "No worries, alright." "There's a card there." "That's..." "I'm Kenny, obviously." "Alright." "Just if you need me or anything." "So, down this way here?" "No, the far aisle." "Alright, no worries, thanks for that." "Gee, look at the size of this." "There's a lot of people here, isn't there?" "You pop your bags up the top, do you?" "Your bags go up the top, is that right?" "This is, uh..." "little boy gave me this just to bring this along to remember him." "'Best Dad', it says." "It's not a bad award that one, is it?" "I'm, uh..." "I'm Kenny, anyway, mate." "How are you going?" "There's my card there, actually." "That's my name there." "This your first time on a plane?" "No, you fly quite a bit." "Better whack the old seatbelt on." "I wonder what the fine for not wearing a seatbelt on a plane is." "It's 150 bucks in a car, it'd cost a fortune on a plane." "INTERCOM:" "Ladies and gentlemen, from the flight deck, a very good morning." "The captain speaking..." "This is fun." "This is fun." "I wish me boy could be here with me." "He'd love this." "Here we go." "Where does the... the...?" "I'm not sure how that plugs in." "It must be... screwed into the backing plate or something." "(TOILET FLUSHES)" "Holy shit!" "Hell's bells!"

"That machine, once you press that flusher, that thing'll probably suck your guts out through your bum." "I don't know, I guess this'd make sense if we were going to Hawaii or something, but it's supposed to help with the circulation." "But I don't know how long you're supposed to do it for, you know." "If I do it for five minutes, is that the world record?" "Or if I do it for two hours, is that not enough?" "Seems to be a problem up there with the toilets." "Well, they certainly seem to be fussing around with it." "I think I've broken the toilet when I've undone the clips on the back of it." "I'm gonna have to sort this out." "You right here?" "Having trouble here?" "Oh, yeah, look, it's fine." "The ground staff in L.A. will deal with it when we get there." "Oh, that's fine." "I've, um..." "I actually work with Splashdown." "We fix toilets." "I can have a look at it for you." "Oh, it's fine." "Actually, we can't let you in there." "Oh, no, no, this is actually what I do." "It's alright, I'll show you." "Yeah, I work with toilets all the time." "This..." "There's a clip there and there's another clip just in there." "And once you..." "(TOILET FLUSHES)" "Cheers. (Chuckles)" "Well, thanks for doing that." " Oh, that's alright." "'Cause we're not usually allowed to..." "I mean, that would be..." " Oh, it's what I do." "Kind of what the business does."

"Oh, well, yeah, yeah." "I drink beer like it's about to go out of fashion and I'm the new trendsetter." "(Laughs) So I love it." "I'd bath in it, if I had my own way."

" It's got a bit of weight in that." "Watch that." "So, are you a real cowboy, are you, mate?" "I'm afraid not." "To tell you the truth, I'm from New York." "Oh..." "I'm Kenny, mate, anyway."

"I'm in a meeting with some Japanese gentlemen that I've met here at the expo and what they wanted to do is get a quote on buying some of our 20-foot combo units, the VIP 20-foot blocks with the televisions in them."

"Sixty-sev..." "You're shitting me, aren't you?" "No, serious. - 67..." " 67 full 20-foot blocks?" "Units." "Units." "They want 67 of them." "No, he's as serious as a heart attack." "No, I'm here with him now." "Also, we'd like to get a price." " A price." "In one hour." " One hour." "In an hour." "No, he's fair dinkum." "Yeah, 67 units, but we need the price in an hour." "And Mr. Sato is coming." " Yeah, I know." "I know I called him, you know, a freaked-out bastard, but he's a bastard to me only, not to you." "Right." "See?" "So just speak to him directly."

"Are you with him now?" "Is he alright?" "Right." "Well, what do the doctors say?" "What do...?" "Well, yeah, hang on, don't..." "Well, can you ring me straight back when you've spoken to the doctors?" "Yeah." "Alright, yeah, but ring me back so I..." "Yeah." "Everything's alright." "Take care of your dad, you know." "Yeah." " I'll speak with Glenn." "Yeah, you can speak to him?" " Oh, yeah." "I'm so sorry, mate." " That's..." "That's alright." "Alright, mate, well, I'll speak to you when I get back to Australia." "Right." " Alright, thank you." "See you, mate." "Better get my belt on." "See you!" "Just to the airport, mate." "The international." "Yeah, well, I'm supposed to be meeting her at the bar." "Well, she's an airline steward so she'll be dressed in a uniform." "Well..." "Yeah, well, I actually don't know her surname." "My father's very ill, so I..." "Actually, don't tell her that," "Just tell her I'm really, really sorry that I can't make it." "MAN:" "He's stable." "His obs are looking good." "The doctor should be in to talk to you in a bit, but he's, um..." "See, he's medicated at the moment and obviously exhausted but he's not in any pain." "He's on a list for an operation on Tuesday morning." "OK." " So you can come back in..." "When I rang the hospital they said it was a bleeding ulcer or something." "And so that's all it is?" "If you're gonna talk about me, at least talk to me." "I'm awake." "I'm not bloody dead, you know." "How are you, mate?" " Oh, how do you reckon I am?" "Stuck in this shithole." "Where...?" "Where have you been?" "I got here as soon as I could." "I've come straight from the airport." "Am I in your way here?" " No." "Ah." "I mean, 70 years of age, and wouldn't you know, these pretty little things like this girl here walking round and I've been saddled with Daisy here." "Bloody tailgater." "He's a nurse, Dad." "You haven't used your pan." " I don't intend to use it, either." "There's no way known I'm gonna use that." "You can shove it up your own arse." "I'm not putting it up mine." "Before you get discharged tomorrow, before your operation, we need a stool to test whether or not there's blood." "I'll give you one." "I'll give you a sample." "I'll give you one there that Jack O'Toole wouldn't chop through, but I'm not doing it in that." "It's really quite simple." "See this?" "Might be simple for you." " See that?" "It'd be like trying to put marshmallow into a moneybox." "Now, I'm not gonna use it." "I'm telling you, son!" "Alright, well, is it... is he OK to go to the toilet if I take him?" "Uh, if he would rather do that, then, yeah, sure, I can organize that." "But it's..." "I need the stool in this tray." "OK." "Alright." "I'll be back in a bit." "Nightmare, this." " Yeah, well, it's not..." "Don't be having a go at him." "He's the one looking after you." "Yeah, he's the one." "I'd rather HER look after me." "Yeah, well, it doesn't..." "Look at her." "Jesus Christ!" "He wants me to bend over in front of him." "Have you seen him?" "It's not that he wants to see your backside or something." "They need to get your stool sample, your poo sample." "Christ Almighty, I'm too old for this shit." "Bloody whinge." "That's all I get all day." "Whinge, whinge, whinge." " Yeah." "Oh, get back on your camel." "Is that that bloody bastard going again over there?" "(Groans) Must have disorder, mate." "Alright, you br... ba... bananas or whatever you're bloody talking about." "Dad." "Dad." " What?" "This is not the place for it, Dad." "It's a hospital." "Now, keep your voice down." "They're sick too, alright?" "Keep my voice down." " Yeah, well, don't..." "Supposed to be a bloody farmer." "He's got about 17 kids." "He hasn't had too much time picking tomatoes," "I can tell you that." "Dad, they're sick too, so have a bit of respect, alright?" "Yeah, alright." " Just a bit of respect." "Get all the nurses and we'll move all this." "Bloody tubes up me nose and up me arse." "Now they want bloody stools." "A man hasn't had anything to eat." "I'm as thin as a bloody rake." "You can smell the shit through me ribs." "They should take a sample there." "Nurse, that's the sample for Mr. Smyth." "Right." "Great, thanks." "Alright, thanks." "You can't get this medication for him." "He's got to get it himself." "He's gotta get it himself?" "OK." " Yeah, it's very important." "That's not... not today." "I want to go today." "No tomorrow." "Forget tomorrow." "Today!" "No, we've gotta leave you here on all the gear for the night to keep a monitor on you, and then the operation is next week." "The operation is next week?" "What operation?" "They've got you on a schedule next week." "The operation on your bloody stomach!" "No operation." "I'm not having an operation, especially not in here." "You only hear about the success rate, son, you don't hear about their failures, about people getting crook a week after an operation, them opening them up when it's too late and they've got a bloody cutlery set" "or scissors inside them that are left inside them by people that are incompetent." "Dad, you've gotta have the operation." "If you don't have the operation, there really will be some trouble." "Dad, you have to have the operation." "You can't say no to that." "Oh, we'll worry about that when it's supposed to happen, but today, I'm going out today, son." "No, well, Dad, you can't go out today, but, look, you've only got one more night here and, uh... and we'll get you out of here and I'll come back tomorrow and I'll pick you up..." "Wait on, wait on, where are you going, boy?" "Don't..." "You're not going." "Christ, you're not going." "You..." "And as far as me going home to my place or your place or anyone's, that's not on." "I want you to ring your brother and ring him now." "There's a couple of things we've gotta sort out in our family before I shuffle off." "I'm telling you now." "But don't you leave me in here to rot." "Alright, Dad." " Leave me in a place like this." "You may as well leave me in the bloody morgue." "They'll carry me out of here feet first if you leave me in here." "Alright." "Wouldn't do that to a dog, let alone your father." "I'll go and ring him now." " Go and ring him now." "I'll be back." " You make sure you come back." "Make sure of it." " I will, Dad." "Don't leave me here." " I won't." "I'll be back." "DAD:" "Jesus Christ." "This is bloody ridiculous." "Why didn't we bring your car instead of this bloody thing." "I'm jammed in here as tight as a fish's arse." "Well, Dad, the toilet wasn't gonna fit in my car, and it sure as hell wasn't gonna fit in Dave's Mercedes." "I was only thinking of you." "I brought the truck so I could bring you a real toilet, so you didn't have to dig a hole to have a shit." "Now, see?" "That makes no sense whatsoever." "You'll know the front from the back." "The front will have a door in it, you dickhead." "Next time youse come up with an idea like this, give me a bit of notice so I can slash me wrists." "Just relax." "Alright." "I'll tell you what." "All I want from you pair of buffalo-headed bastards on this trip is for us to see the sun come up, and be there when the sun goes down." "In between times, please yourself, but keep out of my bloody hair." "But just get that up so a man can have somewhere to doss off tonight, for Christ's sake." "It'll be up any second, Dad." "DAVE:" "He's asleep, isn't he?" "Uh... yeah." "Look at him." " He looks peaceful." "He looks terrifying." " No, he doesn't." "He looks peaceful." "Oh, get out." "Jesus." "Absolute fuckin' frog shit, and you know it." "I mean, the bastard's not gonna die." "Jesus Christ." "He's gonna outlive both of us." "He's like a rhino." "Is this really that tough for you, is it, Dave - spending, you know, one night together, just you, me and Dad?" "What?" "You want to wait until he actually is dying?" "Or until he's dead and can't do this?" "And you know damn well why we've come out here." "You know damn well." "This is where he used to bring Mum." "(HARMONICA MUSIC)" "Mum's been dead a long time now, but, look, a death in the family has different effects on different people." "For some families, it brings them closer together."

"Maybe he had to go back to work for an important meeting or..." "Kenny, you've gotta stop doing that, boy." "The trouble is with you, son, you've been... walking in his shadow for so long." "Don't you realize, if you take a step to the side, you'll cast a shadow of your own?" "Let some other bastard walk in yours for a change." "Wake up to yourself, for Christ's sake." "I'm going to bed." "Dad?" "Yeah, what is it?" "I've..." "I've been offered a promotion." "You've been offered a what?" " A promotion." "Glenn said he was impressed with the sale I did to the Japanese in America, and he's asked me to run the office in Sydney." "Well, that's good." "When do you kick off?" "When do you start her?" "Oh, I haven't said yes yet." "I'm trying to make my mind up." "What do you mean?" "Why haven't you said yes yet?" "Well, you know, I've gotta decide whether I want to be off the road, you know, and I've been working with the crew in Melbourne for a long while, Dad." "Yeah, but what do you want to do?" "Do you want to be a crap crawler all your life?" "This is your chance for you to get out of the shit." "But I don't know if I'm cut out for just a desk job." "Well, you'll never know until you give it a try." "Don't you realize in this world that people don't look up to you until you're sitting down?" "Take the desk job." "I actually don't want to be away from the boy, Dad." "I don't want to be away from Jesse." "I know you've got Jesse." "Of course I know you've got Jesse." "And you've got a great relationship with him too." "But do you think when he's 16 he'll want you to be driving him to school in the crap cart?" "You're gonna do your same old caper, are you?"

"I've told you a hundred times, it's a simple op." "What, do you reckon they get you to handle the instruments?" "You're asleep during the whole thing, Dad." "What's wrong?" "Well, we've got a ruptured hose at the back of this unit..." "Yeah." "...and a lot of piss coming out of it." "We've got people walking through it."
