"The donor has to have the same antigens as my husband and that means he has to be a sibling." "He's not David's child." "He told me you were unstable." "I'm unstable?" "Wait." "Wait a minute!" "Please!" "Dad..." "I can feed myself." "OK." "Can I see you for a minute?" "[JACK]:" "Hey, Finn." "Finn!" "Guess what me and my dad are doing on Saturday." "We're going to the circus." "They have a special one here for all the kids!" "They're gonna have clowns and acrobats." "And they might even have animals." "And a guy who eats fire." "I saw him on the poster yesterday." "Please come, Finn." "It won't be any fun without you." "OK." "Yes!" "I'll do room 12." "Oh, OK." "Thanks." "Hi there." "Mr. O'Brien." " Oh, look, I am so sorry about..." " No, don't worry." "And the report says" "I accidentally dropped my bowling ball down the stairs and it went through the window." " Oh." " Mmm." "Bad luck." "Mmm." " Thanks." " OK." "Whoa!" "Oh!" "Ah!" "My trolley!" "Oh!" " Oh!" " (BEEPS HORN)" "Connor!" "Jump in!" "Oh, hello." "Put her in the back." "(CHUCKLES)" "Got it?" " She's not gonna fit." " Tie her on the roof." "There's rope." "Right." "(GRUNTS)" "Whoa." "Saved by the queen of the waters." "Shut up or I'll crash." "Where to?" "My boat's moored down at Williamstown." "Oh, yeah, good." "My shop's down that way." "You've got a boat?" " You've got a shop?" " (CHUCKLES)" "I'm going to be very preoccupied for a while." "Yeah, of course." "You should be with Jack." "I mean, we could see each other again once I've got him through this." "OK." "David, I'm pregnant." "Odd, isn't it?" "We gave it less thought than two 16-year-olds in the back seat of a car in Albert Park." "You're joking." "That's great." "That's great!" "Obviously I've thought a lot about this and what with everything going on with Jack and us..." "No, no, no, no." "You can't..." "you can't worry about that." " I don't think we should have the baby." " Well, let's talk about it." "I don't think there's anything to talk about." " As parents." " We never talked about being parents." "A lot of people don't discuss that and that just happens." "David, it's you and me." "It was about us having fun." " Veronica, please." " It was never about being parents." "It could be a match for Jack." " For Jack?" " Yeah." " Is that what this is about?" " No, that's not what this is about." "What, you want a baby so you can have some spare parts for your sick child?" "Oh, that's a disgusting thing to say." "It's my boy's life, OK?" "And no, our baby..." "Come on." "Sweetheart, our baby would be our baby, OK?" "It just so happens that he or she might also be a match for my boy." " I've made up my mind." " Can we please think about this?" "Can you please just go?" "(CHUCKLES) Oh, wow." "Oh." " Amazing." " Ah." "Gosh." "Mary Hay." "A wooden bark of 258 tons." "She went down on Steeple Rock in the fog, didn't you?" " You made all of these." " No, no." "I copied them." "There's no art in that." "Purely for money." "Fortunately, there are people out there with more money than sense." "Oh, she is stunning." "Oh, she's off the square rigger 'Britannia'." "A handsome woman." "Hmm." "Certainly ready for the water." " Careful, careful!" " I got it, I got it, I got it." " Let it go." " You got it?" " I got it." " OK." " Thank you." " (CHUCKLES) You're welcome." "I don't suppose I could interest you in sharing a nice pot of tea." "No." "I'll be getting back." "OK." "Er, how are you going to get that on the boat?" "That's a good point." "Hello, girls." "The boat felt empty without Finn so I made Nuala here to dine with at supper, then I felt bad about leaving her on her own so much so I made my Fair Midhir." "Oh, they must have some great chats about salt-resistent shampoo." " Hmm." " (LAUGHS)" "Listen, you're the first woman aboard that can hold her own cup." "Tea." "[MARISSA]:" "Does the boat ever leak?" "Oh, all the time." "A constant reminder as to who's the boss." "I think I'm more of a city girl." "Terra firma - much more appealing." "(SNORES)" "(MOANS)" "Mummy." "Mummy!" "Mum." "Mummy!" "Your mum's not here." "(MOANS)" "And your gran's snoring." "What's the matter?" "My... my hands are tingling." "I can't move them." "I wouldn't worry yourself." "It's just a calcium drop." "It happens 'cause of the chemo." "(GRUNTS) Yeah." "But now it's happening to my feet." "Yeah." "It's definitely a calcium drop." "Could I die from calcium drop?" "No." "And you're definitely not dying now." "You know, people, they..." "they stop being bossy... talk to a kid sort of differently around here 'cause they're gonna die." "Do you know they get their own PlayStation 3?" "And first choice of DVDs." "And face it, no-one except your gran is making any special fuss over you." "Finn, is there any way of getting your own PlayStation... that's a bit less than dying?" "I haven't heard of it." "I've got to go." "I've got a dentist appointment." " His mummy will be here soon." " OK." "(DIALS)" "Jack's X-ray's at 8:00." "I really need to get back." "You'll be able to get a signal at the boatshed." "I can't believe this." "Half an hour for Jack without you is nothing compared to what lies ahead." "Don't say that." "They're saying Jack's chances are really good." "I'm sorry." " I'm sorry, Connor." "I shouldn't have..." " No, it's OK." "It's OK." "I should get going." "Marissa... remember this - we met only on water." "Now you're back ashore." "Hi." "Um, I..." "I'd like to leave this for Jack Hagen." " Oh, you can give it to him yourself." " Oh..." "Jack, there's a delivery for you." "Oh, and your mum called." "She's going to be about half an hour." "Imagine your incredible comet zapper blasting those nasty white blood cells." "Pow!" "Pow!" "Pow!" "I'm zapping you dumb aliens to make room for red cells!" "Ready at last, Jack." "Sorry about the wait, Mrs. Hagen." "No, my mum's Mrs. Hagen." "Oh." "Um, gosh, Jack, I've got to fly." "Here." "You hold onto that, darling." "And just remember - those nasty white blood cells don't have a chance." "Pow!" "Pow!" "But I won't be zapping only for me." "I think my dad's gonna move in with this lady that's not my mum, and if I die, my mum won't have anyone to help with the shopping or stuff like that." "Bye, Jack." "(RETCHING, VOMITING)" " (SOBS)" " You OK in there?" "(SOBS) No." "Why don't you come out and have some water?" "I've got a paper cup." "What's wrong?" "Is it your child?" "It's hopeless.

"I'm available to have a chat." "I'm up in Haematology, Room 4." "Marissa Hagen." "(VOMITS, SOBS)" "Whoaaa!" "I nearly missed that one." "Whoa!" "An apple?" "(LAUGHS)" " Ready?" " Yep." " Actually, no." " [MARISSA]:" "Settle down." "Hey!" "Settle down, you two!" "Listen, circus starts at 6:00." "Your dad should easily be here by then." "I'll be close by if you need anything." " OK." "Yep." " Love you." "Watch out." "Coming through." " Have fun, kids." "See you later." " Bye." " OK." "You ready?" " Yeah, I'll wait outside." "Aw, I wish I was going to the circus!" "Still want to go?" "Uh, yeah." "Do you want me to come with you?" "Uh..." "I want to go with Jack and his dad." "OK." "Will do." " I'll be here to tuck you in." " OK." "Mmm." "You know, I went to see Bernadette Saxon today." "Oh, another diary entry?" "She and I used to work together and then she had David design their renovation." "Ah." "Anyway, she pretends not to recognise me." "Hello?" "Bernadette." "Marissa." " Oh!" "I'm sorry." " No, it's OK." "It's been a while." "It's been a long time, yeah." "So I said, "Bernadette, any chance those kids of yours are David's?"" "Could be." "Well, it depends." "Did he spend any time in Turkana?" "It's right up in the north of Kenya." "(LAUGHS) Here they are." "Say hello to Mrs. Hagen, guys." "Hi." "(LAUGHS) Oh, no way." "Really?" "That is unbelievable." " Enjoy." " Thank you." "Our kids will be alright, won't they?"

"He's going to be fine, sweetheart." "He's going to be fine, OK?" " How could you forget?" " I crashed the car." "Can you see heaven with a telescope?" "Heaven?" "With a really powerful telescope, you can see horizons that people on earth can't even imagine." "And kids who were friends, when they die, are they still friends in heaven?" "Nobody is sure about that, darling, but yeah, I think so." "Professor." " Ah, David." " You wanted to see me?" "Yeah." "Veronica Mendelsohn came to see me." "Did she?" "More than that." "She wanted prenatal diagnosis to test her baby for matching for Jack." "Really?" "We've got a pretty simple procedure now." "Right." "So you can do it?" "We've done it." "She wanted me to tell you that unfortunately it's not a match." "She's got a pretty strong set of antigens there." " Blew yours right out of the water." " Right." " So the search continues."

"She shouldn't, should she?" "Do you remember David Hagen?" "You met him about 16 years ago." "You were a model doing a shoot for Myer's at the Collins Street Uniting Church." "He was in charge of the restoration." "Apparently you and he had a fling." "What is this?" "20 questions?" "Look, he fathered my child, who now has leukaemia."
