Can we trust you? Oh, you never asked me that before. It seems as though we're rich, Mrs West. You and me driving up the California coast to San Francisco. Can we trust you? Oh, you never asked me that before. Yeah, well, you were a prick this time. (GUNSHOTS) (GROANS) I'll give you Ted West. Let's drink champagne to celebrate. You're coming on a ride with me. I won't be here when you get home. (CHUCKLES SOFTLY) I've met someone. I'll help you unpack. I don't want anything linking me to this job. Something you want to tell me, Des? You used me! Like you use everyone else around you to get what you want! You're part of this family, whether you like it or not. I have to be my own man, not this thing you want me to be. (UPBEAT MUSIC) (CAR DOOR CLOSES) Keep the change, mate. Thank you. Smell that? Henderson air. Nothing like it. If you say so. Oh, good God. Have we been burgled? Sparky! Bloody scumbag piece-of-shit thieves! Sparky! I told you we shouldn't have left him in charge. Oi! Goldilocks! (GASPS) Party's over! (HISSES, SCREECHES) Who the fuck are you? Jesus! Ted! Fuck! Oi! Why didn't you stop her? She was too bloody fast. Surprising, with all my jewellery weighing her down. Bloody Nora! Oi! Fuck! I don't know who that little bitch is, but she's gonna fucking suffer for this. (TELEPHONE RINGS) Yep. Hello, Wolf. Hello, Mum. You're home, are ya? Wouldn't be calling from America. Costs an arm and a leg. But you're rich now. Enjoying the results of our hard work, yeah. What about you? Still working for Evan Lace? Yep. OK, well, welcome home. U-Um, I'm actually looking for Sparky. Have you seen him? Yeah, he's here. Hey, you're back. Did you go to Disneyland? Yes, we went to bloody Disneyland (!) Sparky, did you understand what we meant when we asked you to look after the house? Yes. So how come when we get back, you're not here? I... I came to a party at Wolf's place. When? Oh, a... couple weeks ago. I` I locked up, I'm pretty sure. Why? Well, I think you need to see that for yourself. Get over here now. (PHONE SLAMS) It wasn't like this when I left. And what about the girl? I don't know any girls. Yeah, that's definitely true. Wolf, then. Wolf hasn't been here since he left. I'm sure it's not personal. It's a bloody good flat. And I've met a beautiful woman in the inner-city slums. One day she'll be the future Mrs Falani. But, uh, getting back to the troubles here... So who the hell was the slag making herself at home in my bed? Probably just some street kid. Street kid with bloody nice jewellery now. I'll get you new jewels. We're the hoi polloi now, remember? And did the hoi polloi buy any gifts while they were in America? You think you deserve gifts? Well, this was all Sparky's fault. Oh! So Sparky was partying all by himself, was he, at your flat? Sometimes, yes. It was very disturbing. Tidy first, then presents. I'd understand if I missed out. Sparky, just bloody tidy. OK. (HAUNTING, REFLECTIVE MUSIC) Did you hear that lovely Christian family across the road decided that the neighbourhood wasn't for them after all? Yeah? What a shame. Yeah. Too many bad elements. All-night parties. My real estate agent friend alerted me to their plight, and I was, um,... forced, forced to take it off their hands at a ridiculously low price. The old lady in the bungalow next door, however, she's not budging. We're working on her. Mm. Maybe you should have another party tonight. (SIGHS) My life is one big party, Evan. Oh yeah. Tough job. You know, if there's any other work you want me to do, I can` No, no, no. Just the bad elements. That's what I need you for now. (CAR ENGINE STARTS) Wicked. Wendy! Are you still doing that Neighbourhood Watch carry-on? Yes. Yes, but we have plenty of members at the moment, so don't feel as though you need to` Did you see anything going on at our place while we were overseas? Nothing out of the ordinary. We've just got back after a few months away and our house has been burgled and vandalised. My goodness. That's a shame. Did you and your, um, watchy people see anything? No. Apart from him. And then there was that gang of girls you had staying. A gang? Uh, maybe moved in four weeks ago. How many in this gang? A few. They had parties. What did they look like? Well, they were rough, obviously. Foul-mouthed tarty teenagers ` glue-sniffers, Brian thought. And you didn't think to tell the police? Well, we assumed they were friends of yours. Well, never mind. We'll get to the bottom of it. Thanks, Wendy. Any time. Well, look who's back. You're looking flash. Bit of shopping in Los Angeles. Mm, very nice. Well, it's been quite busy, what with Christmas and summer and so on. It was, uh, winter where you were, though, I suppose. Their winter's like our summer. Of course it is. What the fuck is that? It's lovely, isn't it? You've got one similar, don't you? I did, until it was nicked. Along with that, and that! Are you sure? I mean, they look like yours, but yours aren't exactly uncommon, are they? We were broken into while we were away. That is my bloody stereo! Who brought this stuff in? Some young girls. They said their grandmother had died. You didn't think to check their story? We don't ask questions in this business. I bought back my own stuff! Well, it's not as if you can't afford it. You're all rolling in it now, aren't you? No idea what you're talking about. Oh yes. The game we play now. All the shit I took from Lefty for 20 years. And the day I finally get up the guts to leave the bastard, he goes and pulls the biggest job of his life. Still no idea. Yeah, yeah. Have you heard from him at all? No. I keep waiting for him to show up, for all hell to break loose, but... nothing. (OMINOUS MUSIC) (GUN COCKS) GIRL: Uncle Mike, wait for me. Come on, slowcoach. Righto, that's me. I might head off. Where to, love? You could catch up with Phineas. He'll be at the golf course. The what? The Waitakere Golf Club. He's taken up golf. (LAUGHS) He's a rich man of leisure, so he thought he'd do what rich men of leisure do. Well, I'll remind him that only wankers play golf. He absolutely loves it. He's always buying new golf sticks. Gin? God, yes. (FUNKY MUSIC) Oh, fuck! (GRUNTS) Your hobby's going well, then. I hate golf. It's a stupid game. Yeah, nice slacks, though. Hurry up! Up yours, shit-for-brains! Welcome home. Cheers. Fore! Jesus Christ! That's fuckin' dangerous! Fuck off, you wankers! Go on, fuck off! Beer? Good idea. (ARCADE GAME BLEEPS) We haven't seen much of Bert either. He's been spending all his time with Riana ` which I found out is Maori for Diana, which is lovely. That's new. As for Lefty, not a word. I suppose it's the humiliation ` his wife leaving him for a policeman. I just hope he hasn't gone AWOL with the rest of the money. Oh no. He'll be off licking his wounds somewhere. Getting some bird to lick them for him. Oh, gross me out the door, Rita. Just put that on credit, love. Rita West. I'll have to ask Mum. Mum! Oh, it's OK. Ivan knows me. Who? Hello? How can I help? Is Ivan away? Oh, sorry, love, he's popped his clogs. What? His wife didn't wanna run this place on her own, so she sold to us. I'm Trish Miller, and if I'm not here, one of my lovely girls will be. Fair enough. Uh, there's no smoking in here. There's a sign by the door. Didn't see it. If you could just pop that on credit. Yeah, sorry, love, there's no credit. You're very welcome to pay cash. No? OK. Pop that back on the shelf, Mandy. I'll pay for it, Rita. No, you bloody won't. Do you think that I am not honest? No offence, but I don't know you from a bar of soap. Well, I am offended. Because I'll have you know I have been coming to this... You! Do I know you? This is her! This is the little tart who broke into my house, stole my jewellery and hocked it off at the Galleria. CAROL: Oh my God! I beg your bloody pardon. Is this your daughter? Because she has trashed my house` I didn't, Mum. She's lying. Why the fuck would I make it up? You're Rita West, aren't you? So? So I've heard all about you lot from Neighbourhood Watch. Rita, I think we should just go. She was in my bloody bedroom when I got back. I saw her with my own eyes. She hissed at me. No, I didn't. That's sick. TRISH: I am sorry, but you have most definitely got the wrong person. A gang of girls. (CHUCKLES MIRTHLESSLY) Were you in on it too? Of course you bloody were. Your little slappers have been` Don't you talk about my girls like that. ...using my house as a party house, stealing my stuff. And they are gonna pay back every bloody cent! That's impossible because my girls are good girls and they wouldn't do anything like that. Oh fuck me! Do you need to wake up and smell the roses or what. So if you believe otherwise, you can take it up with the police. Oh, I will be taking it up with the police. Don't you worry about that. Are you really gonna take it up with the police? 'Course not. Oh, good. We have our own way of dealing with these kind of people. (SHARON O'NEILL'S 'MAXINE' PLAYS ON CAR RADIO) (KIDS CHATTER, LAUGH) Hey, make sure no one nicks my car. There's 50c in it for you. 50c? Cool! Here, here, here! (THE CLEAN'S 'BEATNIK' PLAYS) # He's a mender, and he's a trender, and he's a beatnik. # (COUGHS) (KNIFE CLINKS) Mrs Rita. Jesus. What a fuckin' pit. Oh, yeah, but it's our pit. We like it. Where's Wolf? O-Out with the boss. (COUGHS) Cup of tea, Mrs West? If you've got some. Uh, we don't. No, but, you know, we've got many other beverages and stuff. I can see that. (FLY BUZZES) (SIGHS) The girl who stole my jewellery, her family own the dairy. I need her and her bitch of a mother taught that you don't mess with the West family. What are you gonna do? No, Sparky, you were in charge, so you're gonna do it. You want me to burn the dairy down? No, I do not want you to burn the dairy down. I need the dairy where it is because the Four Square's too far away. Oh. I need this woman to realise that she doesn't wanna own a dairy after all. Or if she does, she wants to own a dairy on the other side of town. Well, consider your dairy job done, Mrs Rita. We will be honoured to help. Good. And tidy up in here. I can smell mice. I like the mice. Wolf hates mice. Get traps. But they're my friends. Sparky! Clean up, and call me when you've sorted the dairy. There you go. KIDS: Thanks lady. (HAUNTING GUITAR MUSIC) Plenty of room, plenty of space. But the best part is we don't got no landlord. Nice. Got a mortgage with the bank. (DOORBELL RINGS) Only 10% interest. Welcome home, Ted. Mate. Kia ora. How was America? Uh, yeah, good, ta. How's Rita? Uh, good, good. Is she here? No. No, she isn't. This is, uh, kind of a gang meeting. For the gang. Yeah, I know. She's cool, Ted. Uh, I want my lady to be a part of everything I do. Really? You tell Rita everything, right? We talk, yes. Yeah, so it's the same thing. Do you have a problem with me wanting to stand by my man? Don't take it personally, but, uh, I need to know that I can trust you. All the way. Like she said, man. Hey, I got a new car you need to check out, and it's mint. You bought a new car? Yeah, so? So didn't I say not to throw your money around, hm? Not to draw attention to yourselves? Oh, you mean like by going on a flash holiday? No, I mean like houses, cars. Golf, Phineas? Come on, Ted. What's the point of being loaded if we can't enjoy it? So, has the meeting actually started? Because I thought we should have the meeting in the spa pool. You have a spa pool? (MUSIC PLAYS) PHINEAS: Ah, this is the life, eh? (CHUCKLES) Are we expecting Lefty today? Dunno. Nobody's seen him. Not since the last payout. I guess we'll catch up with him tomorrow, then. Unless he's run off with it all. He has dropped off the face of the planet. Well, Carol reckons he's probably hiding until he gets over the shame. Losing his wife to a pig. (INHALES) Is anyone worried about that? I mean, she's still working for your wife, right, Ted? It is a worry. You wanna talk to me about trust. Rita knows what she's doing. Keeping Ngaire close ` and up to her eyeballs in the business. McCarthy ever goes after us, he'll be taking his missus down in the process. Not just a pretty face is our Rita. Moving on, time to start thinking about the next job. But isn't Lefty bringing us more money tomorrow? Yes, Phineas. But after that. Then he'll bring us more later on, right? (CHUCKLES) Well, till we run out. And that won't be for ages. Oh, we got the big score, Ted. We can... take a holiday for a bit. BILKEY: We're just chilling out, Ted. In a spa. (LAUGHTER) The only who showed any interest in going back to work was bloody Riana. What the hell was she doing there? Yeah, that's what I said. Lefty'll be on my side. He's a greedy bastard. If you're sure he'll even turn up. Never let us down before. Ah, wonderful. No bloody milk. Want me to go to the dairy? No, I bloody do not. Has anyone seen my balaclava? Oh, piss. Who spilt beer all over the papers? You in, Wolf? The dairy job? Nah. But it's for your mum. Why are you guys doing her dirty work? Tell her to piss off. I'd never do that. Me neither. Yeah, take a brave man to tell Rita to piss off. Fine, then, if you wanna do some stink little dairy robbery. 'Least we're doing an actual job. Hey! Evan will come through with something soon. And a dairy does have food. And papers. Then you go. Have fun, boys. (MUSIC PLAYS THROUGH HEADPHONES) Crime of the fucking century (!) (MUSIC PLAYS; LAUGHTER, CHATTER) (ROCK MUSIC PLAYS) Did Riana bring a plate? Don't think so. Bit rude. Cheers. Cheers. Heard from Lefty? He'll be here. He'd better. Where are the kids ` Wolf and the boys? They're not coming. I've got them doing a little job for me. Oh, lovely. Well, someone's gotta work. Hey, hey, hey. (CHUCKLES) What'd I say? What did I tell ya? Here he is. Ah, speak of the devil. Well, wonders never cease. That'll be why we haven't seen him. A new lady. She didn't bring a plate either. This is the light of my life, Theresa. Hiya. Ted, Bert, Bilkey, Phineas. I'll try to remember. I'm Riana. Nice to meet you. You too. Say what you like about Ngaire, she always brought a plate. So, do you wanna, uh, get down to business now or have a drink first? Well, I am quite thirsty. But I've also got a bloody heavy bag, so, yeah, let's get the business out of the way, shall we? Downstairs, eh? Stay here, love. Riana. Come and have a drink with the girls. Oh, no, thanks. It's not a suggestion. Under my roof, we do things the way they've always been done. The men have their business and we have ours. Well, I got news for you. It's 1982, and women` Also under this roof, it's not a good idea to argue with Rita. You're part of this family, whether you like it or not. One for you and for you and you. And a pile of New Zealand dollars for you, Ted, me old mate. You beauty. Maybe I'm gonna get me a sailing boat. What did I say yesterday about not being too flashy with it? We're not. Money ain't changing this Maori. Just ease off on the new threads and cars and hobbies and whatnot, all right? Oh, as you wish, Mr Killjoy. What about you? What have you been spending your loot on? Sex, drugs and rock 'n' roll. What else? And you're, uh, you know` You're... all right? If you're talking about Ngaire, I'm better off rid of that battleaxe. I'm a wealthy man about town, got a bloody gorgeous new bird. Never been happier. Good to hear. And, uh, you know, it's... (SLAPS ARM) it's good to see ya. Are you gonna go all queer on me or are we gonna fuckin' party? (TH' DUDES' "ON SUNDAY" PLAYS) # Come on, darling, let me know how it feels # I wanna send you on Sunday. # And I do a couple of women's studies papers as well. Oh. Cooking and sewing? (CHUCKLES SOFTLY) Very funny. (MUSIC CONTINUES) Hey. Woman of little faith. Lefty came through. He did. So the question is ` what do we spend this lot on? Question is ` can we kick everyone out and call it a night? Wanna be alone with me, do ya? Just not really in the party mood. Ohh, come on. Come have a dance with me. (CHUCKLES) (MUSIC PLAYS LOUDLY INSIDE HOUSE) (SNORTS, EXHALES) (CHUCKLES) (TH' DUDES' "YOU CAN MAKE ME DANCE" PLAYS) # You can make me dance. It's Galleria business. Couldn't wait? It's about your jewellery. I remembered a couple more pieces those girls brought in. I'd popped them in the safe, you see, and forgotten all about them. Here we are. You should go now. Well, there's no need to be rude. She's not being rude. You're not welcome here. I'm still the same person, you know. You could at least pretend to be civil, invite me to stay for a drink. I'd say no, of course I would, but` (LEFTY CHUCKLES) Hello, Lefty. Hello,... Mrs Piggy. (SCATTERED LAUGHTER) Who's this poor bitch? Someone who likes being treated like a doormat? This'll be the ex-wife, then. Ngaire, I will see you tomorrow. That's it, off you go back to the sty. Oink, oink, oink! (LAUGHTER) Better a pig than a rat, Lefty! Oh, you haven't told your friends how you offered up Ted to the cops to save your own arse? After the RSA job. How do you think he walked? Oh, because he promised Mike that he'd nark. (TENSE NOTES) Don't you dare try to deny it. You fuckin' bitch! All right, all right, all right! Truth hurts, you snivelling coward! You piece of shit! Fucking whore! Fuck off! Fuck off! Out. You can get your hands off me right now! What the fuck did you think would happen, coming here? He offered Ted up without a second thought! You're all fools if you trust Lefty Munroe! (UPBEAT ROCK MUSIC) Yes. Oh yes. (CASH REGISTER CLUNKS) (UNZIPS PANTS) I-I should take a dump behind the counter, eh? Why didn't you go before we left? Nah, nah, I mean Rita told us to send a message. (FARTS) Be quiet and don't make a noise! LOUDLY: I can make as much noise as I want. (LAUGHS) Yeah, my old man's travelling and my mum's out of it on sleeping pills. You're the guy from the house. Thanks for leaving it for us. Oh, no, no, I` Are you guys gonna take the smokes? Um,... yep, yeah, we were planning on taking everything. Cool. There's those ones up there, and the cartons are under here. Are you the girl from the bed? I kept saying the house was empty and my sister was being sent down country and we needed somewhere to party. So you like to party? What were you thinking? Come back to our place. Why should I? What's in it for me? Well, we got booze, we got weed... and other things. OK. That works. OK. Fuckin' bitch. Bloody slag. Here. Cheers. I can see why you left her, honey. So what did happen with the RSA job? I don't know. I was in the bog. Not the actual job, Phin ` how he walked. With his priors, he should've gone away for sure. Yeah, 18 months at least. The boys are just wondering how you managed to stay out of jail, Lefty, when you were caught red-handed at the RSA that night. (CHUCKLES) You believe Ngaire? That swine fucker? (LAUGHS) (LAUGHS) They were senile old bastards. They weren't reliable witnesses. Or the police fucked up the paperwork. I don't fucking know. I wasn't gonna question it when McCarthy said I could go, was I? Has anything happened, Ted? Has McCarthy come after ya? Stung you for anything? I wouldn't be standing here today if I was a bloody nark. Why would I give McCarthy anything when all I wanna do is kill him for taking my wife, eh? That bastard took the woman I love. I wanna put a fucking bullet in his skull! Yeah, I can see that. Yeah, makes sense to me too, mate. That Ngaire. Liar and a cheater. Come on, mate. Have another drink. Nah, fuck ya! Fuck the lot of ya! (GLASS SMASHES) Hey, simmer down. You accuse me of being a rat? I've been busting a gut to get this fucking currency sorted for you lot. None of you say thank you. All you do is talk about what you're gonna spend it on next, you ungrateful, selfish pack of wankers! Hey! I can't stand it any more. It's doing my fucking head in. What is? Gotta get outta here. Fine. I'm coming too. (STARTS ENGINE) (TYRES SQUEAL) (UPBEAT MUSIC PLAYS) (COUGHS) This is a really shitty flat. But we live here for free. We just get paid to rage, basically. All day and all night we rage. No one cooks, no one can get to sleep. Well, in that case, I may never go home. Oh, that is all right by me, sexy lady. ('ANOTHER GIRL ANOTHER PLANET' BY 'THE ONLY ONES' PLAYS) Oh! Oh, I fucking love this song. She wants me. She's definitely very friendly. Yeah. Watch and learn, boys. (LAUGHS) (LAUGHS, GRUNTS SUGGESTIVELY) # I always flirt with death. # I look ill but I don't care about it. # I can face your threats and stand up straight and tall and shout about it. # Hey there. Hey, Wolf, this is, uh... my friend, um... Oh, what'd you say your name was again, darlin'? D'you wanna beer? Sure. We met tonight down at the dairy, so I invited her over to come... (CLICKS TONGUE) you know. (CHUCKLES) Got a light? # I think I'm on another world with you. # With you. # I'm on another planet with you. # With you. Another girl, another planet. # Another girl, another planet. # I'm watching and learning. So has he just left her here? Looks that way. Poor love. How 'bout I make you a nice, strong drink, love? Thanks, but I might just call my boss to pick me up. Your boss? Yeah, if Lefty's packed a sad, might as well go to work. Use your phone, if I may? Yeah, sure. Thanks. (DIALS PHONE) The truth is my life is shit. Lost my wife, daughters to him ` that pig. Yep, that happened. I do wanna kill him. Almost did, actually. LISA: Wait for me! MIKE: Come on, slowcoach. Couldn't do it. Not in front of your daughters. No, they... like him. They, uh... (CHUCKLES) I mean, fuck it, he probably is a better father to them than I am. Everything fell apart, Ted. My whole world. I didn't have the will to kill or even... get out of bed. Nothing. (SOBS) You OK? Yeah. Long day at work. What's wrong? I had to drop something at Rita's. There was a party going on, and they were all there. Lefty? Mm. Hope that bastard left you alone. Of course he didn't. He was a prick. But it wasn't just that. (SIGHS) I used to be at the parties. Those people were like family to me. Do you regret`? No. No, I don't. It's just... (SIGHS) they're all having trips overseas and dinner at Antoine's, and I'm... I'm jealous, I suppose. There's no other way to paint it. How can the likes of Ted and Rita West afford trips overseas and dinner at Antoine's? Oh, sorry. I'll ask you no question, you'll tell me no lies. Ngaire, I know that life at Kunekune Ave might not be as flash as you're used to, but I adore you with all my heart. And I adore you. (ROCK MUSIC PLAYS) (MUSIC STOPS) (SOFT KNOCKING) (CHUCKLES) Danny Peters. Rita West. Gidday, gidday. Mwah! Beautiful as ever. Remember my boy Hayden? You have shot up. Knee-high to a grasshopper last time I saw you. I'm showing him the ropes. Gonna take over the family business one day, eh? Yeah, I hope to. (CHUCKLES) Not the hair, Dad. Jeez, Wayne. Bloody poofter. Well, if you're here for the party, you're a bit late, I'm afraid. No, no. I'm here to pick up a lovely young lady by the name of Theresa. Theresa works for you? She certainly does. Right. Sorry, Danny. Not your fault, love. Dad? Cops. Oh, shit. Usually my cue to leave. Bloody good to see you again, Rita. Detective, do you know who I am? Mrs Rita West, wife of Ted West. You've heard of us down the station? Yes. And do you really think that people like us or like who you allege we are would have the time or the inclination to rob a piddly little corner dairy? Trish here should look a little closer to home ` like at her daughter, who broke into my house while I was overseas, vandalised it and stole all my jewellery. That is bullpucky, you bitch. My daughters are good girls. Trish. OK, look, we will dust the shop for prints and maybe that'll shed some light. Everybody happy? I won't be happy till this sow gets off my property and stays off. With pleasure. And you are banned from my dairy for life. I wouldn't go back in there if you paid me. Thank you for your time, Mrs West. I'm sure we'll meet again. I'm sure we will. Yeah, well, you were a prick this time. I mean, I got my shit together after Ngaire left. All those American dollars weren't gonna change themselves, right? No, 'course not. So... went on the road, every bloody bureau de change in every bloody town up and down this country. Different girl in every town, eh? When I could. (CHUCKLES) You know, sometimes I'd be with this beautiful woman and... I'd get this image. That'd be it. What, you couldn't get it up? Eh? 'Course I could. Jesus. Oh. Just wasn't as much fun as it should've been. Right, right, yeah. (SIGHS) Bloody unfair. Bloody Ngaire bloody bitch! OK, mate, look, enough's enough, all right? I get the idea. Oh, do you, Ted? Do you see how shitty my life was? How utterly shitty? (THE NARCS' 'HEART & SOUL' PLAYS) # You took me heart and soul. # You took me heart and soul over and over. # You took me heart and soul. (SONG CONTINUES) # Please talk to me # Have you seen the dancer? # Have you seen the dancer? # She used to mean so much to me. # Just don't know the answer. # I can't stand life on my knees. # No, I just can't stand life on my knees. # You took me heart and soul over and over. # You took me heart and soul. # You took me heart and soul. # (BOTH PANT) Fuck me. (LAUGHS) I just did. LAUGHS: No. No, I mean that was... Oh my God, I don't even know your name. Wolf. Wolfgang West. That's a fucking sexy name. Yeah? And what's your name? Jeanette. Pleased to meet you, Jeanette. (CHUCKLES) Look, mate, it's, uh, getting on. So if you've finished doing whatever it is you're doing out here, then` Considering going bush. No one would ever find me. Lefty, it's not that bad. We just did the perfect job. Apart from Des McEwan being dead. But perfect in the sense that we got away with it. No one's looking for us, no one's looking for the money. No one even knows there was a job. Yeah. And I know changing the cash was hard yakka for you. In fact, why don't you take a bigger cut from the next payout? It was hard yakka, all right. But... just before Christmas, in Christchurch, I met this Yankee bloke. He was there for Operation Deep Freeze, you know? I've heard of it, yeah. They got a base down there. American supermarket, shops, he was telling me. Cheap Budweiser and everything. A good bloke. Really was. So I told him I had all these American dollars I needed changed. You told him? Said he could help me out. (EXHALES) Jesus Christ almighty. Ted, you gotta believe me. You lost the money, didn't you? You lost the goddam money? I went to the US hidden in the back of a military plane, I suppose. Fuuuuck! Motherfuck! I can fix this. All those months we put in! I know a way. What, and that's it, huh? There's no more? Tonight was the last of it. (LAUGHS INCREDULOUSLY) You fucker. I know a job we can do, OK? Just the two of us. The others never need to know. You gotta be deluded. I've had enough of you. You are dead to me! No, I'm not, Ted. When I throw you off the fuckin' edge you will be! We all make mistakes, Ted. Remember? You remember our first job? You remember that? Don't you pull that out. You still owe me, Ted. You and me. One job to make it right.
