"ã Theme music" "(Boy raps) ã Check my phone, check my phone, check my phone..." "WOMAN:" "Julia, can you get Nathan to turn the music down?" "GIRL:" "Nathan, Mum said turn it down!" "He's deaf." "How will he hear it?" "He's got to have it up loud." "WOMAN:" "Turn the music down!" "Nathan!" "Turn the fucking music down." "Fuck off!" "WOMAN:" "I don't know how to do it." "Mum said it, dickhead." "Oh, last night was pretty fun, right?" "Nath's in so much trouble, but." "Doing what Mum asked you to do, dickhead!" "'Cause me and my mates are in town, right, and Nath wanted to come in, too 'cause he wanted to make a YouTube video." "'Cause, Nath, he really likes that S.mouse song Poo On You and he wanted to do, like, a tribute video where he pooed on a police car." "And we didn't think there were any witnesses and that but there must have been witnesses 'cause the cops came round here." "They were like, 'Oh." "We know Nathan did it.'" "And Mum started crying and that." "Like, when the cops went, Mum was, like, bawling about it." "They could arrest him unless we agree to let the welfare people come over." "They reckon 'cause Nath's deaf and retarded that he might be getting neglected." "Not a good night." "Nathan's got himself into trouble again." "He's been listening to rap music and he just gets these really dumb ideas." "Mum, Nathan's listening to it on his iPod!" "WOMAN:" "Nathan!" "Fuck off!" "Nathan!" "Nathan, take those..." "So we've agreed to let the Family and Community Services people come around." "They just want to see how well we're looking after Nathan." "Nathan, you are banned from listening to this crap!" "I'm sick of it!" "Yeah, I just feel like I'm losing control sometimes." "Stupid bloody crap!" "Another one." "Another one over there." "I don't give a fuck!" "No more bloody S.mouse." "ã I said now You at the animal zoo ã I love the zoo ã It's the animal zoo. ã" "You know what?" "Kids, they're all listening to my music and they is inspired." "Kids want to go and do stupid things and get themselves in trouble." "And that's not my fault, you know what I'm saying?" "I'm just the artist." "I just create art, you know?" "This is Smouse" " S.mouse - a legend in hip-hop." "I'm the king of hip-hop." "I'm the voice of my generation." "Yeah!" "Cut that shit." "ã Uh, yeah ã This is S.mouse" " Smouse ã With some very important information ã I want you-all to get your elbows out ã And slap it ã Slap my elbow, you do it like this ã Slap my, slap my elbow You do it like this" "ã Slap my el, slap my bow Slap my el, slap my bow ã Slap my el, slap my bow Slap my elbow ã Slap it on the right Slap it on the left... ã" "We had this catchy little song with a dance number that went with it." "Bow Wow refused to release it, because, to be honest, he thought it was shit." "S.mouse was in the right place at the right time." "ã Now I'm going to show you how to slap my elbow... ã" "Initially, I called him 'Mouse' because that name had tested really well, and then we got threatened with legal action because, apparently, there was a rapper Mouse in Detroit." "So we added the 'S'." "'S.mouse' equals 'Smouse', which was my idea." "When I first... came up with my name" "I wanted something powerful, you know?" "Something that was going to cut through from the rest of the bunch." "S.mouse - it's a revolutionary name." "You know why?" "'Cause it's got punctuation in the middle of it." "You don't often see that shit, you know?" "And it's a word... you know, you immediately think of mouse." "And that don't seem like a big animal, but you know what?" "People are motherfucking scared of mice." "We got to get that chorus right." "Jump Roc contacted me and he said he had this artist he wanted me to manage." "Shwayne - that's his real name - he couldn't dance very well and he wasn't good-looking." "I think he was 24 at the time and they needed him to be 17." "I thought, 'That's cool." "We can do that'." "S.mouse, terrific, man." "Beautiful." "We worked on some tracks." "The label wanted to lead with Slap My Elbow, which I thought was the strongest track of the sessions." "The whole idea of this crazy kid just telling everyone to smack their elbow." "It blew me away." "(Cheering and applause)" "After I dropped my first single, the kids, they loved that shit." "They couldn't get enough of me." "You know, the biggest selling hip-hop single of all time." "ã Elbow, man. ã (Wild cheering)" "S.mouse, he just took off." "Westbank Shopping Mall, yeah, yeah!" "He became very famous very quickly." "I got a question for you-all." "Who wants to slap their elbows?" "The whole thing was a phenomenon." "Everyone was doing the elbow slap." "(Crowd sings along) ã Slap my el, slap my bow... ã" "When you've got kids, parents, grandparents all loving the one song you've got yourselves a hit." "And you know what else you got?" "Money." "'Cause hit songs make a lot of money." "Welcome to my crib." "I buy my shit, you know, I buy my house." "I buy my cars, I buy my jewellery, my shoes, my clothes." "All the shit you need when you got a lot of money." "Hey, ladies." "Yeah." "Yeah." "So we decided to release the second single, Animal Zoo, which... ..nobody liked." "ã You at the animal zoo ã I said now you at the animal zoo I love the zoo ã It's the animal zoo, the animal zoo ã I'm getting you at the animal zoo. ã" "After I dropped my second single Animal Zoo, the critics they started to diss me, you know?" "And I stand by my statement that that song was equally as strong, lyrically, as Slap My Elbow." "ã That panda, that horse ã That hippo-potamorse ã You gotta walk like an elephant Run like a beaver. ã" "It was disappointing numbers-wise." "But we went ahead and released the album Chocolate Boy." "The physical and digital sales were really good." "That's when the critics pounced." "They said it was hip-hop for kids." "It was manufactured, it was too repetitive." "ã Slap my el, slap my bow Slap my el... ã" "I'm revolutionising my art form." "No-one doing this shit." "No-one ever done this shit." "And that's why I made my impact, you know what I'm saying?" "ã All them African zoos England zoos ã There's zoos all over the world You got to get to a zoo. ã" "Then the VMAs happened." "And S.mouse lost out on the Outstanding Newcomer award." "He didn't handle things the right way." "All you judges, all you assholes who made this decision, you all is dumb-ass, motherfucking, dumb assholes." "Yeah!" "'You all is dumb-ass, motherfucker dumb assholes' didn't do him any favours." "You just do not cuss in front of the kids." "For a while there, he was the laughing stock of the industry." "But despite that, the public still really loved him." "I mean, it's like he could do no wrong." "If you-all love S.mouse, say yeah!" "Of all my years as a manager," "I have never come across such an incredibly gifted and talented young man as S.mouse." "We've just got to keep this train rolling." "Thank you-all for coming." "Yeah!" "(Cheering)" "BOY:" "Kick your ass, kick your ass and kick your ass." "Well, the boys are very excited 'cause we've just found out that Cameron's got an early release." "He's done his time." "The boys are all over the moon." "Cam bruz, when do you get out?" "It's a double-edged prong, because for a lot of the boys it really hits home that they're still in here." "And that can be hard." "Hey, Gran." "Can we get KFC tonight?" "No, no, no." "How about we ask Gran's magic 8 ball?" "But, for me, I'll miss them but I'm quite thrilled that they're getting on with their lives." "I've always got my new intakes to keep me on my toes." "Hello, young fellow." "I'm Gran." "Welcome to Garingal." "Out you come." "We're here to look after you." "Thanks, guys." "Alright, we'll get you inside." "We'll get those cuffs off when you get in." "That sun's coming out, isn't it?" "(Sharply) Turn around, please." "We'll give you a bit of breathing space there." "WOMAN:" "Taleb Warlpiri. 15 years of age." "Non-parole case pending." "I'll grab those clothes, please." "Yeah, we have a high-risk detainee here." "This fellow's been in and out of the system for quite some time now." "He's the victim of abuse himself, which is sad." "Stepfather in jail for that." "Uh, repeated sexual offences on animals." "On parole." "He's been busted wanking a dog." "Well, that's..." "Whatever floats your boat there." "We'll certainly need to make sure the other boys don't find out about this one." "Ooh, don't you look handsome in your uniform?" "No?" "OK." "Come on." "You're not going to talk, are you?" "Well, this is going to be interesting, isn't it?" "ã GENTLE MUSIC" "We think that's a really good place." "It would be residential in Adelaide." "So he, um, he would actually have to stay there full-time?" "We had the welfare people come over, talking to Nathan and stuff." "About him pooing on the car and getting heaps busted and all that." "He pissed on the bottle shop sign heaps of times and no-one cared." "MUM:" "Daniel, shoosh." "It's true." "He obviously comes from a loving and supportive family." "The concern is that his hearing isn't going to get any better..." "They came up with this bullshit idea of sending Nath to a deaf school in Adelaide, for deaf kids." "Shit idea." "There is a big focus on careers so that he will definitely be employable." "He doesn't need a job." "He's going to be working on the farm with me, so... (Sighs) Daniel." "He doesn't need a career when he's got a job with me on the farm." "Daniel, just shoosh, please." "It's not about you." "I'm just saying." "He's my brother, not yours, so..." "He's my son, so shoosh." "You shoosh." "Anything you need, please just give us a call." "OK, yeah." "Nath, don't even bother reading that bullshit." "Fucking bullshit." "So what?" "How long would he go for?" "Well, they said it was a two-year course. (Sighs) Bullshit." "Two fucking years?" "He'll learn to do sign language." "At the end of it..." "Who fucking needs sign language?" "Well, it might help him, Daniel." "Just... try and go with it a little bit." "It's bullshit." "I reckon it's bullshit." "It could be really good for him." "Nath, do you want to go to deaf school for two years or do you want to work on the farm with me, mate?" "Danthan Industries, mate, remember?" "Nah." "He doesn't want to go." "He doesn't want to go, so..." "I don't think it's a bad idea." "There's no way he's going, so..." "All he did was do a shit on a police car, anyway." "ã HIP-HOP INSTRUMENTAL" "This is the ghetto where I used to chill as a kid." "MAN:" "S.mouse always told me that he was from the hood." "To survive sometimes you gotta hustle."

"When he was little he went to church with his mama and sang in the choir like the biggest-ass sissy you ever seen in your life. (Laughs)" "That's crap right there." "Bullshit." "Quit lying." "I was there, I saw it." "You was all, 'Yay, Lord." "Yay, Lord', all gospel style and shit." "(Laughs) Then he got into musicals." "I did not get into musicals." "Right." "I was there, I remember." "You begged me for the Wicked Broadway cast recording." "I did not want the Wicked Broadway cast recording." "You wanted to give me that shit, I did not want it." "Bullshit!"

"Bruz, do you know Kylie?" "Yeah, she said she knows you." "Yeah, you know Kylie." "She's from your area." "The boys are trying to get him to admit that he knows Kylie." "And what that is, it's their little code that they do, they try to get you to admit you know kylie and if you say you do it means you're a coward or a pushover or you're an easy target." "Doggie boy." "You know Kylie, don't you?" "Marlon and Jacob, shut the hell up." "Leave him alone." "Hey, you know Kylie, don't you?"

"You got to write some more gangster shit'." "But I said, 'The problem is I got a contract that says I can't cuss'." "Exactly." "I can't cuss." "It's a hard thing." "There's a lot that I can't say." "I can't portray the image that I want to portray." "I'm limited." "You know what I'm limited by?" "My motherfucking record company." "And that company don't own my ass." "I owns their ass."

"That track got more motherfucking downloads than most of the shit on my album, you know what I'm saying?" "People loved that, the fans loved that." "It's a new direction." "You gotta give kids something new." "Kids want cuss words, you know what I'm saying?" "You say 'poo', you get a lot more buyers." "Well, you can't help but have your favourites." "There's, um..." "There's certainly boys in the prison that I've got quite a rapport with." "But, you know, you keep it professional when you're there." "The boys are there to serve their time and to be rehabilitated, not to, uh, be your friend." "Well, there was a young boy many years ago now, his name was Tony." "And he came in here, fish out of water." "Not a criminal, just a troubled young guy." "We formed quite a bond." "He opened up to me and..." "He, unfortunately, got himself into a lot of trouble while he was inside and he ended up in isolation for quite a few weeks." "Got myself on Iso duty." "Made sure I could keep an eye on the young bloke." "A lot of the officers thought he was a lost cause but I thought he was a lovely young fellow." "I was on Iso duty at the time, actually, when it happened." "And he'd snuck some sheets in." "The little bugger, he took his life." "He hung himself." "He didn't want the pain to go on." "And that knocked me around a bit, as you can imagine." "And a lot of the others said, you know," "'We warned you." "Don't get too close." "Be careful." "Keep a distance from the boys if you can'." "Yeah." "Anyway, it's all a little bit heavy, isn't it?" "I don't know where all that came from." "Alright." "How are you, sweetheart?" "Got enough food in there?" "So, um, we think we've made the right decision." "He's going to be going away to a special school." "Daniel's not dealing with it well at all." "So when is he going?" "He leaves in about two months." "You can catch a train down and see him whenever you want to." "Fucking catching a train down." "Daniel..." "I'll tell Grandma about it and she'll be fucking pissed off." "Well, what does Grandma know about the situation?" "She fucking knows more than you two know about it." "Hey." "Chill, alright?" "She does." "Your mum and I feel that we're doing the right thing here." "How is sending him away the right thing to do?" "Hey, Nath." "He's not fucking happy, look at him." "Are you keen for deaf school, mate?" "Yeah?" "Yep." "He's getting an iPhone." "Yeah, Steve said he'd get him an iPhone if he went to deaf school." "You're going to buy him a fucking iPhone?" "You're going to fucking bribe him?" "You're a gaylord." "Nathan!" "Nathan!" "Nath!" "Nod your head if you don't want to go to deaf school." "Just shake your head." "Yeah." "He doesn't want to go."

"The LAPD saw footage of S.mouse in the act of actually defecating on the police car from this video." "They were not happy." "I got arrested for the incident pertaining to the Poo On You music video." "Yeah, in particular, me taking a dump on the hood of the police car." "So I gotta do some house arrest for that shit." "And I gotta spend two months in my parents' house as part of my legal conditions." "And I gotta wear this shit so they can track me." "That's how much of a motherfucking criminal I am right now." "I want my PS3 in the living room." "He needs to come down out of the clouds." "He needs to stop lying." "I mean, boy, you cannot shit on public property." "Straight to my bedroom with all that shit." "Despite the house incarceration, we are full steam ahead on the second album." "Songs have been written, tour, merch - it's all planned." "He's got two months here." "And I'm going to kick me some disciplinary ass." "I'm going to put my foot so far up his ass it's going to get in his eyeball." "I'm not going to be a kid artist."

"Have a hold." "Give her a pat if you like." "She's a little nervous." "Now, jamies." "I've got the Shrek pyjamas or the zebra from Madagascar, which I think might be the 'large' from memory." "The 'extra-large', actually, so that's no good." "So you might have to go with Shrek." "Now, is Mum sending in a doona or...?" "No?" "Right." "Well, that will go with the blue, anyway, so..." "That's nice." "Now, you're not much of a talker, are you?" "That's alright, 'cause that one's not much of a talker either, so I'm quite used to that." "BOY:" "Hey, Gran." "Do you know Kylie?" "No, Marlon." "I don't know Kylie." "Do you?" "Nah, but I think you do, but." "Now, I want you to get some rest tonight." "And tomorrow I'd like you to try and get along with those other boys." "'Cause if you don't they're going to make your life hell in here." "OK?" "Just try for my sake." "BOY:" "Don't let him wank your guinea pig, Gran." "Ignore it." "Now, don't worry about them." "I'll look after you." "That's my job, OK?" "Now, pop those on, hop into bed and have a good night's rest." "Night-night." "Goodnight, Rim Face." "Go blow your didgeridoo, Marlon." "Ah."
