[Chloe] My mother once told me the day I was born...
[screams]
...I shot right on out,
screaming like the last place I wanted to be was in her arms.
[wails]
[gentle guitar music]
But then...
...she looked into my eyes.
- [Sharon] Oh! - [baby Chloe wails]
And that was that.
[tenderly] Shh, shh, shh, shh.
I was hers.
[laughs]
And she was mine...
...with others stopping by along the way.
[people argue]
[Man] Just grow up!
[argument fades]
Definitely, there were those who we wished would leave.
['70s-style rock music]
[Sharon laughs]
And the one who we prayed would stay.
"But it didn't matter," my mother said,
"because we had each other."
A consolation prize for the ones who got away.
[door slams and echoes]
[Sharon sobs quietly]
[Sharon sobs]
Hey.
This is it.
This is your chance to be something.
Come with us.
Come here.
[Chloe sighs]
Everyone deserves to take their place in this world.
Even if they have to fight for it.

[Chloe whimpers]
[whispers menacingly] I will hunt you wherever you go.
If I go down, you go down too.
Understand?
Mm-hm. [sobs]

[punches phone number]

[Operator] Emergency. Police, fire or ambulance?
Police.
[insects chirp]
[dog barks in distance]
[Chloe] Yep.
[sighs heavily] Fuck.
I'm seconds away, Aunty Pat, I promise.
[Sharon] No!
- Sharon, please! - [wails]
- [Pat] Come on, Sharon. - [Sharon] No!
[Chloe] Please, Aunty Pat. Let me.
[Pat] I've told you how important routine is.
You know she gets in a panic.
- [Sharon yells] No! - [object shatters]
[Pat] Now look what she's done.
I will get you another one.
She puts ground glass in my food.
[Pat] Oh, yes, I sit around in my spare time
grinding glass into your porridge.
She's a lunatic.
It's her damn valium.
[Sharon] She wants me to fall asleep in the bath.
[Pat] If I wanted to get rid of you,
I would've smothered you a long time ago.
Oh, just leave her!
I'll say whatever I please in my own damn house, young lady.
[Sharon whimpers]
I should grind this into your bloody sausages for dinner!
I won't touch another drop, I promise.
Just take me now.
I've gotta sort the car, Mum.
Just give me two more days and I'll take us then.
Byron's not going anywhere, OK?
- [both scream] - [Chloe] Oh, shit!
- [laughs] - Oh! Oh! Mum!
[laughs uproariously]
[laughs] Stop!
- [coins clatter] - [Dalu] It's all there.
Really, mate? Again?
Come on, my brother.
You expect me to carry a machine in my hat
for people to swipe?
[sighs]
You can call your mate one more time,
but I'm about to shut up shop.
Thank you. I appreciate it.
And if you hear nothing, you take that next bus up north.
It'll take you to that shelter in Norton.
[music plays softly over speakers]
- [Chloe] Hey! - [bus engine roars]
[Chloe] Hey!
Fuck.
[women laugh in distance]
[pants and grunts]
[grunts]
[women laugh drunkenly]
- Hey, Henry. - Hey, Chloe.
Missed the bus again?
It was early.
[Henry] Yeah, I'm sure it was.
[Henry hums]
- [coins fall] - Fuck!
Need a hand there, Romeo?
Yeah.
Could you, uh, dump these coins in that dude's hat
on the way out, would you?
He's been waiting all night to be taken to some job.
[coins clink]
[drum beats]
[tender music]
[coins clatter]
- Oh! - Let me help you.
[Chloe] It's fine.
I've got them. It's fine.
- [coins jangle] - Good music.
Please. Wait.
- I think we know one another. - We don't.
No, I've seen you before. I'm certain of it.
I catch the bus around here a lot.
No, not from this place.
Maybe it was a pub or something.
- [coins rattle] - [gasps]
I'm sorry.
Sorry about that.
It's fine. I'm fine.
I'm just...
...in a rush.
I understand that.
I'll let you be.
[solemn music]
[sighs]
[exhales]
[bag drops]
[car engine drones in distance]
[sighs]
So...
...you going to the north like me?
I guess so.
Hmm.
I have some spare shoes if you'd like.
Somebody dropped them into my hat. [chuckles]
Thank you, but I'm fine.
OK, then.
[chuckles softly]
- [hydraulics hiss] - [traffic drones]
Thank you.
But still no luck.
There's a phone down the end of the road
in case you wanna keep trying.
OK.
Thank you.
[vehicle approaches]
- [engine roars] - [tires squeal]
That's the second time now.
Are you sure you don't want me to walk with you?
Thanks, but walking off into the dark with some stranger
doesn't sound too much safer to me.
[Chloe laughs]
[Dalu sighs]
Dalu.
My name is Dalu.
D-A-L-U.
Chloe.
C-H-L-O-E.
There!
Stranger no more.
Plus, I can also make you some fried plantain,
if you like?
[Chloe] They look like bananas to me.
[Dalu] They're the cousin to the banana,
but they are not the banana.
The trick is to salt them very well.
I'm definitely not eating any salted bananas.
Well, lucky, then. I'll not be offering any salted bananas.
[both chuckle]
[lock jiggles]
- [indie music plays softly] - [plantains sizzle]
Where do you even get those from around here, anyway?
These ones came from a lady at the community group.
Actually, the same one who gave me that guy's number.
You mean the one who never answers?
Unfortunately.
Careful, they're hot.
[Chloe sighs]
- [sighs contentedly] - [Dalu laughs] I know, right?
[Chloe] Mmm!
[Dalu] Mmm!
[Dalu] Mm-hm!
I know it will come to me,
but definitely we did not meet at a pub.
[coughs]
[music continues softly]
[door squeaks open]
I can teach you how to play if you like.
Uh... Uh, no. I...I don't play instruments.
An hour ago, you did not eat fried plantain either.
Still no luck?
I'll get through. Eventually.
I should let you get some sleep.
The sun will be up soon.
Where do I know you from?

[Chloe] Argh!
[objects thud]
We should stop to look at your ankle.
You should not be walking on it like that.
It's just a sprain.
Or at least find some ice to help keep the swelling down.
I'm sorry about the box.
It wasn't just a box!
It had $7,420 in it!
Every single cent... that I own.
[bag thuds]
[solemn music]
[sniffles]
[solemn music continues]
[folk music plays softly over speakers]
I've ordered us some breakfast.
Did you get through to that guy?
Oh, that was... that was a different call.
Oh.
But we should definitely call someone for help.
Or find a safe place to stay.
Thank you.
12 bucks 90.
Yes, of course.
Just a moment, please.
[coins clink]
[scoffs]
We'll pay after the meal.
Like I do every other time.
Now, that is one way to put your foot down.
You'd definitely do well at the markets.
I know who we should call.
Oh, you... you do?
Why don't you ask your girlfriend
if she has a place for us to stay?
Huh.
Now, that woman would be the very last person to help us.
She came crying to me.
She was a struggling single mum...
and suggested we should help one another out.
And then as soon as I gave her the money
to become my wife,
she ran away with it instead.
[Chloe laughs]
You mean like a contract wife?
Exactly.
She...
...left with the last of what I had.
Till you find your next one, you mean.
No, I am done with that.

[Dalu] Your friend will have a bandage for you?
[Chloe] He always has a bandage for me.
[Dalu] And you think he might have some work?
Sometimes he does. Sometimes he doesn't.
- [trolley rattles] - Ohh, I gotta get out of here.
I gotta get out of here!
[Chloe exhales]
[Chloe groans]
Oh, God.
[Chloe grunts]
Oh, let me carry your pack for you.
[Chloe] I'm fine.
OK!
OK.
[Chloe exhales]
But don't think this means I'm gonna marry you.
[laughs] I'm kidding.
I'm kidding!
We'll do it tomorrow.
I'll invite my mum.
She can bring the alcohol.
[Ben] I thought you would never get here!
[Chloe chuckles]
[gritty rock music plays faintly]
They said on the news that he seriously injured
some poor kid in a hold-up.
Oh, this is...
This is, uh...
Dalu.
My future husband!
[softly] Ohh.
He carried my bag.
[bag thuds]
[Ben] Well, hello there,
big strong man.
[Chloe chuckles]
Well, I guess I did carry everything.
Hey, I need to know
if the deposit I put down on the Corolla
will cover the whole cost of the red car instead.
Oh, and he wants to know if you have any work.
No! Where were you last week?
And, yes, of course the deposit will cover the whole cost of the red car
because the red car is a piece of shit.
There's no way it'll carry you the whole way up the coast.
Oh, it... it's not the whole way.
Not anymore.
A friend has an empty cottage on an orchard, so...
Tell me you're not gonna dry your mother out
in the middle of a bunch of apricots.
[Ben laughs]
Which she will love.
[Chloe laughs weakly]
I'll get Dylan to put a room aside for the night.
But I will have you on your way...
first thing.
Thank you.
Oi, is it still singles tonight?
Doubles tonight, honey.
[Chloe] Hmm!
[Chloe] It'll be easy.
You'll get your half. I'll get mine.
And tomorrow we can go our separate ways.
What makes you so sure we're going to win?
I spent a lot of time growing up in bars.
[Dalu] well!
I'd prefer to wait until after the wedding,
thank you very much.
[Chloe] Just give me one more day
and I'll be there, I promise.
I gotta go, Mum. I'll see you tomorrow.

Chukwudalu, actually.
Chukwudalu and then Edozie.
That is my name.
Chukwudalu... Edozie.
[both chuckle]
Exactly.
[Chloe] Thanks!
I will just put that in.
Any middle name I need to know about?
Remember those ones first, hmm?
[Chloe breathes shakily]
[whimpers softly]
[sobs and hyperventilates]
- [Chloe breathes heavily] - What is it?
Oh, he's here! [breathes heavily]
[Dalu] I think you're dreaming. He saw us go into flames.
We gotta get out of here!
What about your car?
We'll open up the curtains
and then we'll wait in the bathroom until morning.
If he looks in, he'll think the room is empty.
How about I keep watch from the bed?
He saw us on the street together.
If he sees you, he'll look for me.
If he is out there,
I'll not let him get past me, I promise you.
Get out!
Fuck off!
The charity's over, mate.
[objects rustle]

[door slams]
[door opens]
Hey!
Hey, I didn't...
I will never be your charity.
[whispers] OK.
OK, I'm sorry.
I did not come here for handouts.
I come from people who work hard...
...who help one another.
If there's one thing to know...
...know that.
[birds warble]
He has a job for me starting Monday
and a place for me to stay.
Thank you for letting me use your phone again.
He existed after all, huh?
He almost didn't, actually.
He was in the hospital for malaria.
Well, it's been nice knowing you,
uh, Chukwudalu Edozie?
There you go. You're getting good at that.
I, uh, better get going.
Mum panics when I don't show up on time.
Of course.
But I can drop you somewhere along the way if you like.
[brakes squeak]
The piece of shit has been caught!
Some off-duty cop took him down
when he pulled a gun at a servo this morning.
[Chloe exhales shakily]
[tearfully] Oh, my God.
[hopeful music]
[sighs]
[chuckles]
Travel safe, angel.
He's not getting out in this lifetime.
[Ben blows kiss]
[Ben laughs]
He's got a great energy, that one.
- [Chloe chuckles awkwardly] - [Ben laughs]
[Dalu chuckles]
So he's gonna get you from here?
I have some things to do first,
but I'll catch the bus from here.
I have his address now.
I...know how it is to live
as if you're somebody else's prey.
I truly hope you find your way out of your nightmares.
You too.
[tender music]
[starter motor chokes]
Oh, shit!
[sighs]
[Dalu] First the trolley, now this?
[hopeful music]
- [Dalu grunts] - [engine starts]
[Chloe] Get in - quick!
[Dalu] Are you sure your mum won't mind?
[Sharon laughs]
Don't come back to me begging to be rescued
the next time you fall off the wagon.
And that's my wheelchair!
- Oh! Oh. - [Chloe] Hey, you good?
Oh, let's see how well you're standing
when you've been three hours away from the bottle.
Let's see how well you're standing
when you make your next lot of screw-ups!
- You want me to screw up, Pat. - Mum, let's just go.
My fuck-ups out there make you feel better about
your failed choice to stay here - pfft!
You think staying in this stink hole was a choice, Sharon?
You think it was a choice
to nurse our grief-stricken drunk of a mother to her death
while you were out chasing any kind of man
that would show you the slightest bit of attention?
Well, you don't need to worry about that anymore, Pat.
[sarcastically] Oh!
Oh, and I was 12
and they were boys who made me feel good about myself
because like hell any of you were ever going to.
- [Pat] You owe me! - Yeah.
You owe me!
- [Sharon laughs] - [car door shuts]
[Sharon] Let's go!
- [engine revs] - [Sharon] Whoo-hoo-hoo!
[breathes heavily]
[Sharon] Looks like a dump to me.
I'm sure it isn't that bad.
I wouldn't be so sure about that.
He got you a job, though, right?
Picking up rocks on demolition sites.
$10 an hour, cash.
- Rip-off! - Mum!
Shh! It's OK. It's just...
It's enough to get a feed and to pay the rent.
What, for a room that looks like a toilet bowl?
After someone's taken a shit in it?
Oh, my God.
It's... it's only temporary
until I can get something better.
[Chloe whispers] Stop.
[man] I've had enough of your shit!
- [woman] You fucking arsehole! - Don't push me!
- Don't fucking push me. - [woman yells]
Don't push me. Don't... don't push me!
- Ugh! - Don't push me!
- Fucking arsehole... - Don't push me!
- [couple continues arguing] - [Chloe] Holy shit.
[Sharon cackles]
Fuckin' arsehole!
Get the fuck away from me.
[woman] Fuck you!
What are you sluts lookin' at?!
[laughs]
Mum, shh!
[Dalu] I think we should probably go.
- Go! Go! Go! Go! - Fuck, fuck, fuck!
Fuck!
- [Sharon cackles] - Oh, sh...
- [Chloe] Oh, my God! - [Sharon laughs]
[upbeat music]
- Ah! - It's not funny, Mum.
He had an actual job to go to.
Ah, that wasn't a job. That was slave labor.
Anyway, we're much better off where we're going.
[laughs] Oh, take the ball and chain off for once.
We're about to hit the road out of town.
This is the last chance I can drop you back.
There will be work where we're going?
- Of course there'll be work. - Yes, there'll be work.
- Then I'll come along. - Whoo!
Beaches! Blue skies!
My father used to take us there when we were kids.
You are gonna love it.
[quietly] I thought it was an orchard.
[Sharon] Hmm! Here we go.
[uplifting music]
[Sharon cackles]
[uplifting music continues]
[music fades]
[insects chirp]
[Chloe] You won't see him, I promise.
We'll be in the cottage on the other side.
Please? Mum.
We don't have any better options right now.
[weeps]
[Chloe] The money is gone until I can earn us some more,
and I can do that at his place.
And have a roof over our heads for nothing.
[Sharon sobs]
How about I get us some food? Hmm?
You really need to eat something.
[breathes shakily]
[Chloe] They have hot dogs here.
- [doorbell chimes] - [rock music plays faintly]
[Chloe sighs]
Fuck.
- [rock music plays faintly] - [Sharon drums fingers]
[EFTPOS machine beeps]
[clerk] Sorry, ma'am. That card is declined.
Oh!
I'm on a disability pension.
It always goes in on Wednesdays, sweetie.
- Right. - [Sharon chuckles]
Well, it's not Wednesday for another four days.
Well, I will, um...
I will put this back, then.
[chuckles awkwardly]
[Chloe] Double the price...
that's what he charged to not dob you in.
[Sharon] Well, that's hardly fair.
I only got through half of it.
You really are a very handsome young man.
Oh. Well, thank you very much.
[Chloe] He hasn't got any drink, Mum.
[Dalu] Oh, that's very nice.
Am I not handsome?
[Sharon] You are very handsome.
Where did she find you again?
Under a gum tree.
[car door shuts]
[truck rumbles]
[Sharon] There is just nothing like true love.
I never found it, but I really...
...I really want that for the two of you.
- [Dalu chuckles] - I really, really do...
Alrighty, thank you for that.
Little chocolate babies with curly-twirly hair.
Over to this bed, Mum.
- You and I are sharing. - [Sharon groans]
I need to be near the window.
- I need some air. - Not... No, you...
[Sharon groans]
[Sharon snores softly]
What happened to make your mother get like this?
What happened to you to make you get like this?
[Dalu] Well... [sighs]
...my mother and father
were both very good-looking people.
[grunts]
[gentle music]
[chuckles]
[cot springs squeak]
- [thump!] - [Dalu] Oh, God.
[cot springs squeak]
[Chloe sighs]
Ow!
Just... sleep up here.
[exhales]
[cot springs squeak]
- Are you... sure? - [pillow thuds]
[Chloe] Hm.
[light switch clicks]
[exhales]
[Sharon retches]
[coughs and retches]
[Sharon retches]
- [light switch clicks] - What's wrong?
Hey.
[vomits and chokes]
[gulps and pants]
[Chloe] It's alright. Get it out.
- [Sharon sobs] - Go on, go on. Get it out.
[pants]
[Sharon vomits]
[Sharon hyperventilates]
You're alright. You're alright.
[Sharon whimpers]
I'm already seeing things.
We'll get you a doctor first thing.
[Sharon wails softly] No! No doctors.
[sighs] You need medication until we can get you on a program.
That's right. I am such a screw-up.
[Chloe] No, you are not!
It's just one slip-up.
[Sharon sobs]
I can't see him like this.
You won't see him like this.
We'll be on the other side of the orchard, OK?
- I can't breathe. - Oh!
- I can't breathe! - Yes, you can.
[Sharon breathes heavily]
- Slowly in. - [Sharon gasps]
Slowly out.
[Dalu] She suffers a lot of panic attacks?
[water trickles and gurgles]
She just doesn't wanna see
the guy at the place we're going, that's all.
[scrubs ice bucket]
He was pretty much the love of her life.
They were together for about five years when I was younger.
But... when he realized he couldn't save her, he moved on.
Eventually with somebody else.
Oh.
Yet he still loves her enough to help?
[Chloe scoffs lightly]
It's me that he's helping.
[Dalu] Hm.
Look, this is only gonna get worse before it gets better.
Much worse.
I can drop you at the bus first thing
and you can catch it back to that guy's place?
Still get the job before it's too late.
You want me to leave?
It's just...
...best if you leave.
For you.
[solemn music]
If you want me to leave,
I'll leave.
But, please, don't assume to know what's best for me.
- [door opens] - [Dalu exhales]
[gentle music]
[light switch clicks]
[Dalu sighs]
Where we're going,
there's only one cottage for us to share.
One.
My mum can be hard enough to deal with at the best of times.
[weeps softly]
[whispers] Sometimes so hard...
[Chloe breathes shakily]
...I feel like even I can't breathe.
[Chloe sniffles]
I just wanted you to know that.
And that, if I were you,
I would get the hell out of here as fast as I could.
[birds chirp]
[shower water runs]
[knock at door]
[Dalu] The doctor is here.
Oh, and so am I.
[engine idles]
Huh. He looked like a filthy crook.
[Chloe] You think all doctors are crooks.
They look like a bunch of Tic Tacs to me.
Well, try them.
We can just stay here in this town.
We can get a job in this town.
We've been through this, Mum.
[Chloe] At Stevo's place,
we can have a roof over our head for nothing.
Nothing's for nothing! There's always a cost.
And I didn't agree to this.
Fine, then.
Stay here.
- Alone! - Huh!
Oh, fine, then!
But I will only take the scenic route.
I cannot do open roads today.
[Chloe] The scenic route is pretty much impossible to pass through.
[Dalu] Maybe we can at least try the scenic route.
If we make it through, then it's a very good sign
that we're headed in the right direction, is it not?
And sometimes it's good to compromise. [half-laughs]
Huh.
Thanks, sweetheart.
- [Chloe] Scenic route... - [Sharon] Whoo!
[Chloe] ...my fucking arse.
[laughs]
[laidback music]
Come on!
You can't just go up onto the side a little?
Oh! [laughs]
Oh!
Like that, you mean?
- [Sharon laughs hysterically] - Out there.
Ah!
Hold it a bit...
I am holding it as high as I can hold it.
- [Sharon] Don't fight. - I am not...
Don't fight.
I'm not trying to start a fight.
- Do you want to get up here? - I mean, I-I offered.
I offered.
[seat belt clicks]
I can't walk out there.
Well, lucky we took the scenic route, then.
You'll have plenty to look at while you wait.
[car door shuts]
[Chloe sighs]
[Sharon] I should be looking at beaches!
Oh, God, this is ridiculous! [groans]
My legs are grating like a block of cheese.
Nobody said we had to make it through by car.
And all this to stay with a man who took what he wanted
and then abandoned me.
Leeches, that's all they are.
Pretend to love you to get what they want and then pfft!
- Jesus! - Please.
All this is not helping the situation.
Oh, yeah?
And what are you doing to help the situation, Dalu?
Or, hang on, are you just here to help your situation?
- Stop it. - And what is my situation?
[Chloe] We need to keep walking, that's the situation.
[Sharon] That all depends, doesn't it?
On whether my daughter keeps spreading her legs for you or not.
You told her about the woman in my wallet?
What? No!
Just ignore her. She's going into withdrawal.
[Dalu] Do these excuses make it easier for her or for you?
- [Chloe] Screw you! - Apparently you already have.
[sighs] I think I left my pills in the car, sweetheart.
[Chloe] Fuck's sake.
[Sharon] Fuck. Oh!
[Sharon] I just don't think he'd be hanging out with us
if he had the proper papers to work and live in Australia,
that's all I'm saying.
Straighten your legs, Mum.
I can't believe you took out all the other pants I packed.
Where did you think we were going?
I thought you might be surprising me with that promised trip.
Quicker, just harder. It's like raw chicken down there.
It doesn't matter how hard I yank
if they're two sizes too small!
[Sharon] Oh, my God!
[Sharon laughs hysterically]
[snorts]
That would have been a different kind of experience.
[both laugh]
Come on!
Do you think he'll come back?
We are perfectly capable of walking to town by ourselves tomorrow.
Let's just try to sleep, Mum.
I mean, I...
I did think he was a nice young man
and I-I do want you to be happy.
Can we just stop talking about him now, please?
He's gone.
Because of me.
'Cause that's what I do, I push the nice ones away.
He's probably gonna have to leave anyway.
[Chloe breathes in]
[exhales slowly]
[Sharon moans]
I've got really crook guts.
It's from all those bloody pills.
I don't think it's safe to sleep.
I am not pulling those pants back off you.
[owl hoots]
Oh, God.
[tummy gurgles]
Oh, God.
- Oh! - No.
- Wind the windows down. - No way!
[Chloe] No!
Oh, that's bad. It's really bad.
Even I don't like that.
[gasps]
Oh, what did you fucking eat?!
- Oh, Mum! - Sorry, love.
[Chloe inhales and exhales deeply]
It's not very scenic for a scenic route.
[sighs]
[engine hums]
[laughs]
Well, you took your bloody time!
What can I say?
In Africa, it is still only yesterday.
[Dalu and Sharon laugh]
[laidback music]
[Sharon] Whoo!
[Sharon] Of course, I didn't know
he was shooting blanks when I married him.
That only came out after I got pregnant with this one.
- Seriously, Mum. - [Bill laughs]
So she got pregnant to another man?
She got bored being married to a farmer.
[Sharon] So, Bill... is that how you ended up out here all alone, hm?
- Shooting blanks? - [Dalu chokes]
[Bill and Sharon chuckle]
You look like you're searching for gold in there.
[Chloe half-laughs]
Just checking my lovely mum
hasn't stashed half of Bill's cabinet away.
Maybe she'll surprise you.
She always surprises me.
Bill has invited us to stay the night.
And the garage in town will deliver our battery first thing.
Well, we should give him some money for his help,
then move on tonight.
I shouldn't have walked away.
Yesterday.
I should not have walked away from you.
It's cool. We're fine.
Yes, you are fine.
So here's where we will stay until morning.
Unless you plan on getting your mum
to push this piece of tin.
What she said to you was not fine.
No excuses.

Well, then stop annoying me all the time.

♪ A little bit closer to you ♪
♪ As the days go by ♪
I feel like I know you.
Yeah, well, I don't know you.
Tell me, then, what do you need to know?
OK, then.
How did you get into the country in the first place?
On a student visa, studying medical sciences.
You're studying to be a doctor?
It can take me on to further studies to be a doctor.
If I do well.
Well, shouldn't you be in class, then,
instead of hanging out with us?
I am awaiting funds to continue.
There's been some difficulty
getting them through from back home.
So that was the reason for the backup wife. [chuckles]
Oh, I wasn't...
- I didn't mean it like... - It is OK.
I'll get the funds by the cut-off.
[Sharon moans ecstatically]
[grunts]
[Sharon grunts and laughs]
[Dalu] I understand. Don't take him to Ikeja yet.
Just please hang in there.
I'll send some more again soon.
[Sharon laughs with abandon]
Uh... Mum and Bill are being loud.
[both laugh]
I could help drown them out if you like.
Yes, please.
Firstly, the bass.
You must keep your palm flat
towards the center of the drum.
Allow it to bounce.
[drumbeat echoes]
OK.
Then the tone.
Lining up your knuckles to the edge of the drum,
keeping your fingers more together like this.
[tighter drumbeat]
Hear the difference?
Yeah, sure.
And finally the slap, similar to the tone,
but with your fingers further back and more relaxed.
[drumbeat echoes]
Then simply combine to make a melody.
Clear?
Crystal. [chuckles]
OK, now, first start with the bass.
Towards the center.
- [flat drumbeat] - [Dalu chuckles]
Allow it to bounce.
A little more of a bounce.
[drumbeat]
- [drumbeat] - Mm-hm.
Uh-huh!
See? You can do whatever you put your mind to.
I was gonna do further study too.
Oh. You were?
[half-laughs] I used to think that I might be good at helping young people.
After they've had it rough.
But, um, my mum went kind of crazy
in my final year of school,
and you have to finish school
in order to do that kind of thing, so...
So then finish it.
[scoffs]
You're smart.
Dedicated.
And if you're even half as good as you are with your mum,
then they'll be lucky to have you.
So you've got a crazy mum back at home too. [chuckles]
[gentle guitar music]
My parents died a few years ago now.
Oh, my God.
I'm so sorry.
[engine starts]
Hey! [chuckles]
Thank you so much for everything.
That should keep you on the road for the time being at least.
- [Sharon] Chloe! - [Chloe] Oh!
I deserve to have a man in love with me too.
I deserve to give this a real go.
A real go?
How about loving yourself first, Mum?
How about giving that a real go?
I mean, does he even know that you're a drunk?
Does he even know what he's getting himself into?
[whispers] I deserve love too.
I love you, Mum.
I've always loved you.
It's not the same.
You're wrong.
It is the same thing.
Because just like them,
I don't have to be stuck with you either.
[door slams]
[pensive music]
- You OK? - [car door shuts]
I'm OK.
[Bill] Come on.
[gently rolling music]
[Chloe] We'll wait here until she shows up.
She always finds her way to the closest bar.
Or she'll call me first.
She'll call me to come pick her up.
Maybe she'll not call you to pick her up.
Maybe she doesn't want you to pick her up.
Oh, so now you know who my mother is too!
I don't have to know. I have two eyes. I can see.

Dickhead!
Fuck.
[soft music plays]
[indistinct chatter]
But, I mean... [continues indistinctly]
- Me, I would not do that. - No.
[Chloe] Um, we should probably eat.
She might call at any minute.
[Dalu] Oh, OK, then. Excuse us, please.
Sure.
You look a little bit different.
I don't know why.
Your face.
It's just tinted moisturizer, OK?
I was beginning to look as dry as this fucking steak.
I think you look... nice.
I'm not meaning to.
So how long do they give you before they make you leave?
Pardon me?
Uh, I mean,
if you don't get the funds to stay as a student,
does it take a lot of time for them to make you leave?
Why?
Are you planning on throwing me a going away party?
[laughs]
I'm sure they probably will.
Is that what you want?
What's it got to do with me?
Exactly.
[sighs]
Oh! Oh, God.
- [phone buzzes] - [Chloe] Whoa!
["Shark" by Ra Ra Viper plays]
Oh, my God.
- [Chloe laughs] - Oh, oh, oh.
Whoo!
- [Dalu] Oh! - Oh.
Hello, grumpy.
Boop!
If you're going to wait like this,
I think it's definitely time to book a motel room.
I think that if you're gonna wait like this,
it's definitely time that you take that stick out.
Stick out?
From your arse.
[chuckles]
- Yeah. - Oi, you having another drink?
I'm fine.
Come on, I'll buy you another drink.
Please, she says she's fine.
What are you, a fuckin' whore?
Whoa.

It's like you've eaten an entire animal.
You said the beef looked good.
Well, it does not look good now.

You don't want to know, you want to know.
- You don't want to know... - Well, I want to know now, arsehole.
Arsehole?
I-I'm still deciding.
I wanted to remember her face in case our paths crossed again.
To get my money back.
That is it.
I never pretended with her and I will never pretend with you.
It's cool. You'll probably be gone soon anyway.

[bus departs]

My mum says some people can't afford to have a bath.
Is that why you smell so bad?
No, it's actually a finely balanced mix
of blood, sweat and tears, young lady.
And you can only get that through hard work.
[whispers] I can't see any tears.
Some people cry on the inside.
Surprised your mother hasn't told you that.
[gentle music]
[almost crying] You must have a very good mother.
I found my phone. It was in the pub.
I have eight missed calls,
but she's not answering any of mine.
Dalu?
[pensive music]
[engine stops, handbrake clicks]
[drumming]
[gasps]
[gentle music]
So you found your phone?
She called.
Congratulations.
You were right.
Maybe I wasn't right.
You are more than within your rights to have questions.
I can't be your wife, but I can definitely be your friend.
- And an arsehole. - [laughs]
You can definitely be that too.
[laughs]
Mm-hm.
Yes, Pat.
Yes, yes, you were right.
[Dalu] Sharon!
Over here!

Oh, fuck.

[folk rock song plays]
- [slurps] - [man] Is that right?
I would like another one of these, please, handsome.
Ooh.
And how much for, um...
...a half serve of one of those fat chicken parmies?
That enough?
[man] Make it a full serve, Joshie.
On the house.
And a coffee.
[coins clink]
I hope you don't think you're getting your balls tickled
for a bit of chicken.
Cowboy.
[taps pen twice]
I wouldn't dream of it.
[laughs]
[both laugh]
[moaning]
Thanks for the feed.
You're welcome, sweetheart.
[both grunt]
Ah!
How'd you get yourself a place like this?
Hard work, darlin'.
I was a soldier.
A good one.
I was gonna be a good mother.
And now I'm not gonna be anything.
Sometimes people who think they aren't anything...
...are somebody else's everything.
[kisses]
[Sharon] Can you see it?
Just up here in the corner, it's...
...a droop.
Managed to hide everything else but that.
Nah, can't see anything.
Well, that's because of the light.
You need to look closer.
Hm.
Uh...
Nah, can't see anything.
Just that big, beautiful smile of yours.
Oh! You got rocks in your head.
- [Sharon laughs] - Hey.
Even if there is something...
...just embrace it, darlin'.
Embrace all that you are.
That's true beauty.
- [kicks] - [bottles clink]
Maybe we should call the police.
It's been a while now.
Or maybe she's gone back to your aunty.
[Chloe sighs]
[phone rings]
[ringing stops]
Aunty Pat?
[Pat] I know you must be worried, but she's safe with me.
Then let me speak with her.
[Pat] First you need to listen.
The last time that you left your mother,
for a violent felon,
she tried to kill herself, remember?
And you weren't anywhere near enough reason to stop her.
Now, I'm not trying to place blame.
I'm merely stating that clearly the two of you
are better off not living in each other's pockets.
It's time to move on, Chloe.
And your mother will say the same.
[Pat sighs]
If you care even one ounce for her,
you'll set her free from your useless, miserable life.
This is what is best for her.
[Chloe] Mum, are you there?
- Say something, please. - [Sharon] Listen. Listen to me.
We're much better off not being let on the loose with one another.
Me and Pat, we've got some really good plans ahead.
Healthy plans.
And it's time that you got on with making some for yourself.
Don't say that, Mum.
I know she's making you say it.
Just say "see you later" instead of "goodbye"
and I will come straight to get you
and we can go to Byron.
I'll find a way to get us to Byron.
[Sharon] Goodbye, Chloe.
Mum...
you don't have to do this.
Goodbye. [hangs up]
[gasps]
What is it?
What happened?
She's...
She's good.
You were right. She's with, um, Aunty Pat.
We'd better get going to the orchard.
Well, wait, so she's not coming too?
I made a mistake.
She's better off where she is.
- [Chloe sighs] - [keys clink]
[Chloe] Oh, shit.
Let me drive. You're tired.
- I'm fine! - Chloe...
...you don't always have to be in the driver's seat
and you do not always have to be fine.
I can walk. Just let me be.
You want me to let you be?
Then get your own bloody car and you can ferry yourself around.
[car doors close]
[Pat] Click in. Got a long drive.
Oh!
Always waiting to be rescued by some halfwit with a cock.
Sometime I wonder if you'll ever learn.
Stop it, just stop it!
I may not have held onto love, but at least I've felt it.
At least I tried it.
You know, you may as well have died
in the same crash as Dad and our brother
'cause it's sure as hell the last time you had anything
close to a heartbeat.
Oh, for goodness sake!
Pull yourself together before you give yourself another bloody stroke!
[car starts]
[pensive music]
[gentle music]
[man laughs]
- Hey! - [Chloe] Hey!
- Oh, so good to see you. - [Chloe] So good to see you.
[Chloe] He is the closest thing I ever had to a real dad.
He used to let me come and stay here
whenever things got bad,
even after he broke up with Mum.
Anyway, you'll be able to sleep peacefully in here.
I'm not sure I remember how to sleep without one eye open.
[chuckles] Oh, like this.
[Dalu] If I do that...
...how will I see you?
Pretend I'm not here.
Like you?
Or would that be too much pretend?
Yeah.
Like me.
Why is it so hard for you to be real with me?
Because the reality is I couldn't save her
and I cannot save you!
I'm not asking to be saved!
- Then why are you here? - Because you invited me!
And I shouldn't have.
[stifles a sob]
[Chloe sobs quietly]
[Chloe continues sobbing]
[warm music]
You don't have to pretend with me.
I...I cannot have this be an invitation you wish to take back.
[Chloe moans softly]
[Chloe pants]
[music swells]
- [Dalu inhales deeply] - [Chloe moans]
[Chloe moans]
[birds chirp and warble]
Good morning, sleepyhead.
Maybe I should have the remaining plantains to myself.
[both chuckle]
[pan sizzles]
Firstly, we'll chuck us another shrimp on the barbie.
[laughs] I've never heard anyone say that.
She'll be right, mate!
- Settle down. - [Chloe laughs]
[knock at door]
Morning.
[chuckles]
[Dalu gasps]
Nice to see you're enjoying the weather, mate.
Oh, I was just... going to the washroom.
Well, it's, uh... it's out this way, buddy.
Oh, yes, that's right. [chuckles]
Mmm.
Well, we, uh, got you some freshies.
And, uh,
you get those filled in and back to me by tomorrow, mate,
and we'll get you on the payroll.
You might even be able to buy yourself a nice pair of pants.
[Chloe laughs]
[chuckles] I will, thank you.
[Stevo sighs]
Fair dinkum!
Looks like a great day to throw a shrimp on the barbie.
[both chuckle]
[people chatter indistinctly]
[Chloe and Stevo laugh]
[Chloe grunts]
[Chloe laughs]
Dance with me.
I don't dance couples.
[Dalu] Mmm.
[shirt drops]
[Dalu inhales sharply]
[both pant]
So, when do you have to pay the fees...
...so that you can stay?
You don't have to worry about that.
Money is coming.
It'll be OK.
[birds chirp and warble]
[sighs]
[footsteps approach]
I need to speak with you.
We need to discuss some...
[lid shuts]
[footsteps approach]
[mutters] Fuck!
[gentle guitar music]
Thank ya.
Oi!
- How are you? - Good.
Sorry about the... [continues indistinctly]
[Dalu] But I put everything on there.
It's all there.
- Yeah. Good on ya, mate. - Thanks.
Tomorrow.
Not tonight.
[Dalu drums slow rhythm]
[lock clicks]
[car approaches]
[engine stops]
You look like you're off to somewhere fancy.
No need to be a smart-arse.
[car door closes]
I'm on my way to get my daughter.
I'm just here for coffee, water and a wee.
And that's it.
Why don't you let me
give the orchard where your daughter's at a call?
Get her to come pick you up.
My daughter's been picking me up since the day she was born.
I'll be the one doing the picking up from now on.
That woman you were with?
She's not here anymore.
I've got an espresso machine on the other side of that bar.
It's full of beans.
Why don't you enlighten me?
Who is?
[sobs]
Take the spare bed out back. At least have a nap.
No, no, it's just all the... all the caffeine.
I'll be fine.
Thank you for everything.
You're welcome.
[chuckles]
Yeah.
[engine starts]
- [crash!] - [horn blows]
Hey. Sharon?
- [horn falls silent] - Sharon?
Hey!
Hey, Sharon!
[sighs]
[shower runs]
[car approaches]
[car engine stops]
Some things fell out when I opened it up.
Looks like some kind of money transfer receipts.
To Nigeria.
To Nigeria?
I think so, love.
Darlin'... I gotta tell you something.
The name on his passport doesn't match what he told you.
There's no 'Dalu' on it.
Well, that's because it's short for Chukwudalu.
Chukwudalu Edozie.
["Repeat Until Death" by Novo Amor]
Hey, hey. Darlin'.
If you need me to get him to move on,
you just say the word.

No, no! I was a student.
Technically, I still am a student.

Because there's no money coming.
There was never any money...
Yes, there was money. It just was not enough.

I found her on the side of the road.
She's been vomiting and she has chest pain.

I'm sorry I never packed any...
...tissues in your schoolbag.
It's OK, Mum. Please...
No, no! Listen! Listen to me.

Oh! Sorry, I did not mean to wake you.
[Sharon] No, no.
Your mother would be so proud.
[sobs]
I could not save her.
I could not save any of them.
[Dalu continues sobbing]
[Chloe] I did ask.
They only had green.
Well, if everyone prefers red,
why don't they just order in more red?
That's all I'm saying!
[Chloe] Why don't you write up a complaint and then they can
store it next to the records of them saving your life?
[blows raspberry]
[chuckles]

[Sharon] Well, what are you waiting for?
Them to order in more red?
[Chloe] Wait!
I can give you a lift.
It's only 10 minutes away.
Thanks, but I'm OK. [chuckles]
You should stay with your mum.
You saved her.
I'll never forget that, no matter who you are.
Uh... [sighs]
- I didn't mean it like that! - What did you mean?
Hmm?
[door opens]
[Chloe sighs]
Well, I have to admit that wasn't one I was expecting to win.
What?
And to be honest, I was...
...I was praying I wouldn't. [chuckles]
What would you have me do, Mum?
Run after him?
Set myself up to lose everything?
I'm not you.
I'll never let myself be like you.
Oh, I hope not.
But if you keep heading in this direction,
I'm exactly who you'll be...
...with the only difference being
my drugs are... are men and alcohol.
And your drug...
...is me.
I'm what you hide behind from the rest of the world.
Just in case it proves to you
the one thing that you are most afraid of.
That you really are as unlovable as I've made you feel.
But that... that is on me. It's not on you.
I struck gold when you came into my world.
You were never my consolation prize,
no matter what I said.
And I...I just can't...
...let myself be yours anymore.
You deserve the real deal.
I don't even know what that is!
Of course you do. Of course you do.
[laughs] You've just gotta listen to this.
I never could, but you can.
Let this tell you if it's love.
And let this decide if it's good for you or not.
But what about you?
I'm sick.
And I will be fighting that sickness
for the rest of my life, but it's...
...it's my fight, it's not yours.
Not anymore.
Come here.
[Chloe sobs]
Be calm. [kisses]
Hey, hey, hey.
[laughs]
I'll...
I'll see you...
...later.
[warm guitar music]
[Chloe sniffles]
[door opens]
[sobs quietly]
[door closes]
[door opens]
[knock at door]
[door opens]
Hey.
Oh, thanks.
Um, I...I asked you here to, um...
...to give you this.
It's a raincheck.
Possibly.
You just take your time, darlin'.
I'll still be on the shelf.
Anything's possible.
As long as you don't go trying to tickle my balls.
[both laugh]
[puts cup down]
[Sharon laughs]
[chuckles]
[vehicle approaches]
[cuts engine]
[people chatter indistinctly]
[ slow rhythm plays on drum]
[whispers] Be with me.
We can find a way together.
You can finish your study and I can finish school.
I checked my messages
and the notice for my fees has arrived.
My visa will expire in a matter of months.
Then you can apply for a different sort of visa.
Protection visa.
We can show them your scars.
My scars are not enough to receive a protection visa.
[tearfully] Then a partner visa!
A spousal visa. We'll get married.
And stare at the doubt in your eyes for the rest of our lives?
I...I cannot do that.
[Dalu grabs bags]
[calls] I know you!
And I know it won't be easy.
But we can figure it out...
...together.
I know you.
You just want me for my...
...bananas.
[chuckles]
Yeah!
