"I'm concerned there's just men there," "And matt and his sons have an unholy reputation." "She can't get any more pregnant." "She could be attacked for being pregnant." "Look, thanks very much for your help." "Um," "We all learned a little more sensitivity today." "I think that's a very good thing." "Thanks for being on the team." "You know, this is statutory rape." "We have to find out who did this." "We've got to think about dna testing," "Questioning as many neighbours and contacts..." "Hmm, and you don't think I know that?" "Um, how's jude recovering?" "Um, it's..." "It's tough." "The..." "The cancer's come back, but she's being very positive." "Oh, no, I meant turangi and her." "I don't know what you mean."

"And there's a female detective." "Remember ivan's daughter, robin, from sydney?" "Right, here's what you do." "You go on your radio, you phone the detective," "You tell her she's had a miscarriage, right?" "Or..." "Or she's marrying the kid from down the road." "What, at twelve years of age?" "Use your imagination." "One day." "Look, she's going to be interviewed, okay?" "That's a fact." "You're in shock, that's all." "I'm not in shock." "Christ, I know kids." "I had my first orgasm when I was seven, my first fuck when I was 11." "So she's a slut," "Like her dad was a slut." "But she's too young to have a baby." "I wouldn't do that to one of my bitches." "Oh, I need a joint." "I've had a prick of a day." "Yeah, well, I didn't hear that." "That little one mark's?" "Nah." "Al:" "Luke's?" "No." "Al:" "I'll see you later." "Matt:" "Tui!" "Tui?" "Bubs?" "Hey, bubs." "Tui!" "What were you doing in the lake?" "Hmm?" "Who were you trying to kill?" "Yourself or the baby, you idiot?" "You didn't talk." "That was good."
