I said quiet! Get on all fours. Why else would she turn up? Mate, I wouldn't touch Ngaire with a barge pole. What the hell is wrong with you? At the pub, all day, getting pissed. I'm running my book. That is your job between jobs. Ah! (GRUNTS) Perhaps you pay me now. What do you say ` double or nothing? (CHUCKLES) Everyday we sit here placing bets with Iris, and everyday we lose. We don't have a lot of other options right now. Except safe-cracking. Copyright Able 2018 It looks like you put on the Chewbacca outfit just on your own. (BOTH LAUGH) Westside ` brought to you by The Rock. (CLICKING) Get a move on, Falani. I cannot move any faster, Mr Ted. The money, Falani, this is all on you. We need that fucking money! The cops are coming. You need to move now. I'm not going down with you, boy. That's for damn sure. You're blowing it Falani. Falani! (LIGHTS CLICK) Mr Ted. Save it, Falani. You failed the training exercise in a big fat way. I was close. There wasn't anything big and fat about it. It was small and skinny. Falani, this is a safe that you have to drill to crack. Then what was the point of the exercise!? The point of the exercise, was to show you that this idiotic idea of you becoming Indiana bloody Safe-Cracker belongs in the toilet. I believe you have gone to your dark place again Mr Ted. Hello, Iris. Large friends of Iris. Hello, Teddy. Large friend of Teddy. Cup of tea? What? Cup of tea? Oh, yeah, that'd be lovely. Or Ted could just give me the money he owes me. Yeah, course, Iris. (SCOFFS) It feels a bit light, Teddy. What do you say ` you could take that now or we chuck it on the Gold Cup at Wingatui? His Latest to win. Are you sure that is your best bet, Mr Ted? You will be able to come up with the full amount, should you be unlucky, though, won't you? 'Course, Iris. Come on, you lot, get a wriggle on. This is for you. What did you do? Nothing! Then why do they want an urgent meeting with me and your father? Cos they're Nazis. Obviously. I doubt your grandfather who fought actual Nazis would agree with you. Chelsea made a bomb in science and now the teacher has no eyebrows. Shut up, rat. That was an accident and they know it. It's not about that. Something worse than a bomb? (KNOCKING) Lefty? Lefty?! Lefty! Ngaire. To what do I owe this pleasant` You have to come with me now. Now? To Shadbolt High to have a conversation with the headmaster about Chelsea. Does it have to be now? Lefty, we have to show a united front with these bloody teachers. It won't take long. Hi, Ngaire. Theresa. Teachers are such a drag. I hated school. (MUSIC PLAYS FROM HEADPHONES) Our daughter, Lefty. Yes, yes, fine. Can I at least put some clothes on? Please do. It's Dire Straits, ladies and germs! And I have, in my possession, not one, but... four tickets. (CHUCKLES) Three are masterful counterfeits, one is the real deal. Which one is real? That one. OK, yeah, but, you know, it was pretty tough. (DOOR OPENS, CLOSES) Falani! I've got tickets to Dire Straits at the Springs! Guess which one is real! This one. You've got to admit, it was hard, though. Well, it doesn't matter anyway, it'll be so busy at Western Springs, no one will notice. So me, two of my best mates, get to go and see one of the greatest bands in musical history, live in concert! Takers? Why are you saying these things? I would but... fuck no. You'd have to force me at gunpoint. Falani, it's your lucky day! If you mean by lucky because I already have plans and I can't go to the Dire Straits concert, then, yes. I have to work for my uncle that night. You lot in for tea? ALL: Yes. Yes, and as a tribute to your fine culinary skills, I would like to offer you a ticket to Dire Straits at Western Springs Stadium this Saturday. Well this is clearly fake and Dire Straits? Jesus. (MOANING, GASPING) (BOTH MOAN, SIGH) (BOTH CHUCKLE) I feel like a teenager again. It reminds me of when Phineas and I got together. We got quite resourceful to get away from Mammy. Sorry. That was a bit dumb of me. Yeah. I mean, no. It's just, kinda weird being with you ` you know, you being Phineas' wife and all. Bert, remember ` Phineas said it was OK. Just don't tell him or he'll kill you. So, is it OK or is he going to kill me? Because, yeah, I can't see how it can be both. Phineas has stopped making love to me, and he said it was OK if I go outside the marriage to get what I need. A baby. Exactly. Do we have time to do it again? Yeah. (BOTH CHUCKLE) Danny You know I would if I could, Phineas. But you can. You own the place. Technically, you are right, right? But you have an unpaid bill. And you wouldn't expect unlimited credit at any other business establishment now would you? Yeah, but I don't have any money. Look, my heart is bleeding, Phineas, it really is. But if I listened to and gave a shit about every sob story guys make up to get their jollies, then I'd be running a bloody charity, wouldn't I? Mate, I` I'm not running a bloody charity, Phineas. (GROWLS) Mr and Mrs Munroe. Thank you for coming in. BOTH: Hi. Right. Is this about the bomb? The what? No, no. That was, all parties agree, an accident. Then why are we here? Sorry, there was a bomb and no one told me?! I'll fill you in later. To cut to the chase, the staff here and I are wondering whether it isn't time that Shadbolt High and Chelsea parted ways. Give us one good reason. Well she's disruptive in class, disobedient, argumentative, refuses to accept authority, and I can't help but think that she'd be happier elsewhere. Elsewhere where? Auckland Metropolitan College, maybe. That's a school for idiots and layabouts. Are you calling our daughter an idiot and a layabout? No, I would never use those words. You listen to me, mate. There is nothing wrong with our daughter. If there's something wrong it's with this shit school. Yes, and if our daughter is better off somewhere else then it is nothing to do with Chelsea and everything to do with you and your useless staff. Yeah. Fuck you. Yeah, fuck you, mate. You know it's your fault, don't you? What's my fault? She's as messed up as a frog in a sock. And it's all down to you. Me?! Well, you're not exactly a fatherly role model, are you? Shacked up with your hooker girlfriend. Hang on! You're the one who jumped the bloody country with a cop! Only because you wrecked our marriage by sleeping with every slut you could get your hands on. But I always came back, didn't I, to bloody you. You were always the bloody one, but you were the one who walked away first and don't you forget it. What? Fuck you, Lefty. Fuck you. (FUNKY ROCK MUSIC) (MUSIC STOPS) (SCHOOL BELL RINGS) (FUNKY ROCK MUSIC CONTINUES) (GRUNTS) (SQUEALS) (GASPS, GRUNTS) (GRUNTS RHYTHMICALLY) (CLANGING) (CLATTERING) (BOTH GASP, GRUNT) (BOTH MOAN) (BOTH PANT) (BOTH PANT) PANTS: OK, wherever the hell that came from, I liked it. Dear, God, what is wrong with me? (ALL CLAMOUR, WHISPER) (ROCK MUSIC) NIGELLA LAWSON: Hello, chocolate lovers. James Henry Whittaker came to New Zealand because he was restless to find a better way. It's something that Whittaker's have stuck to generation after generation for well over a hundred years, and now Andrew and Brian have made a luscious new caramel filling. It's creamier, more buttery and velvety. Better in every way ` just as JH would expect. Exactly. Well said. Get unlimited data, talk and text with Vodafone for just $79.99 a month.

You did sound as though you'd had a few. Yeah, well, hard not to when you spend all day in a pub, isn't it? Is that not God's honest truth. Right. Well, you'll be wanting a refresher, then. Yeah, if you're buying. Yeah. A job sounds good. Well, just not fucking it up would be a win this time. I think you need to pull your head in, Mr Ted. This could be an opportunity to pay back the money you owe that old bat. That's a good point, Falani. This is gang business now, therefore nothing to do with you, so get lost. Fine. But I'm not the one who is lost. Thanks for the ride. And, you know. Hey, Bert. Oh, hey, Phineas. Hi, honey. I was just seeing if you needed a ride to the meeting and when I pulled up... I was just coming back from the shops. Yeah. All right. (FUNKY MUSIC PLAYS ON RADIO) Thanks. Not a problem, mate. Bye, Phineas! (FUNKY MUSIC CONTINUES) Do you ever think that maybe you made a big mistake? Like what? Like I told Carol she could have sex with other people. And why did you say she could do that? To give her a baby. OK. Yeah. Right. And has she got one? A lover, not a baby. She's got a glow about her. (TENSE MUSIC) (ROCK MUSIC) Has anyone heard of Marco Neruda? Yeah. Really? He's that Argentinian soccer player. No. He's a New Zealand artist. I'm pretty sure he's a soccer player. Well, this one is the rising star of the New Zealand art world. And we're gonna steal one of his paintings. 'The Wind on My Skin.' I've already got a buyer lined up. 15 grand ` easy money. LEFTY: Who are we selling it to? Not your concern. It's all set up. Where are we flogging it from? A house. The alarm will be by-passed, the owner will be away. In, out, easy as you like. When? Tomorrow night. Are we in or not? Yeah, sounds like easy money. Yeah, it's good for me. Why the hell not? Ted? Ted? What? Are you in? It's your job, Bilkey, just tell me when and I'll be there. Tomorrow night. Sweet as a nut. And then my Mum and Dad had to come into school to talk to Mr McButthead. That sucks. Yeah, it sucks! And I'm not allowed to hang out with you. You know what you need? You need an excuse to see each other. Like a sexy concert. Eric's got some spare tickets to a concert, if you wanted to go? What concert? Dire Straits. Dire Straits? Yeah. And you want to see Dire Straits? If that's what you want to do. Well, that's that sorted! Just make sure you get the real ticket. Wait, what real tickets? Eric bought one ticket, and forged three. How many tickets have you got? WHISPERS: There's four. I have a friend` Sorry, nah, that ticket is out of bounds. Do you really think that I like Dire Straits? ALL: Yes. Well, I don't. Yuck. But I do know someone who loves them. Wendy. (WOLF AND CHERYL SCOFF) Who's Wendy? The neighbour Eric's been spray and wiping the TV to for months. And when we nicked her stereo, along with her camera gear, there was a bunch of Dire Straits cassettes with it. And now Dire Straits are playing Auckland so she'll be gagging for it. So I got a ticket. And today, my fair Wendy is going to come home from work to find an official looking letter, with a ticket to Dire Straits in it, saying that she won it in a contest. Operation Romeo and Juliet has begun. We arrive at Western Springs, linger at the gates until she arrives, and then... blamo! You punch her?! With charm, Sparky. Eric, that sounds like a brilliant idea that can't possibly go wrong (!) I'm sensing doubt there. (DOOR BELL CHIMES) What are you doing here? Something wrong with stopping by to see my beautiful wife? So, Bilkey has a new hoity-toity job for us. Yeah? Art heisting. I'm an art thief now. Sexy. If you say so. (CHUCKLES) Ted, what are you doing? You know, I worked out that we haven't done it in ages. Is that so? That is so. And you want to change it right here and now, do you? The thought had crossed my mind. Clearly. Oh. You gonna pay for that? (SCOFFS) Yeah, how? I don't have any money. What do you mean you don't have any money? I'm relying on bloody Bilkey for jobs these days. I thought we were flush. No, I'm just messing around. We're fine. Look I will leave you to your important business, OK. (TENSE MUSIC) (DOOR CLOSES) Your friends in? They are. Thank you for being such an amazing help. I like to think I'm more than that. Oh. (CHUCKLES) You are. (KNOCKING) Lefty? Are the kids home yet? No. So, what was up with you forcibly having your way with me today? Me? There were two of us there, Lefty. Yeah, but you were the one who launched yourself at me first. I just did what any guy would do in that situation. Fuck. You know, I don't really have time right now, Lefty. Yeah, you do. No, I don't. The house is a sty and the dinner is on the stove` Well, I'm not going anywhere until I get an explanation. Fine. Mike and I, we... never fought about anything. Yeah, I get it, he was Mr Perfect Piggy. That's not what I mean. We never fought and I missed... something ` that spark, passion. Me. Don't fucking kid yourself. I still hate you, Lefty. You're a fucking idiot. But... you push the right buttons. And the wrong buttons. God, maybe there's something seriously wrong with me. I can help with that. Fuck you, Lefty. You said it. (ROCK MUSIC) Give us the pan. I think if we're getting married, Wolf, you need to work on your tone. Is that so? More respect, please. Give me the fucking pan. Now. (SCOFFS) Actually, what am I even doing in the kitchen? I'm the man, I should be at the pub. Excuse me? You're a little shit. (SNORES) But you don't even like Dire Straits! You don't know. They could be my favourite band. No, they're my favourite band. Because you're lame. See? Mum's not going to let you go with your creepy boyfriend anyway. Shut up, dicklet. And she will. You'll see. What's going on here? Dad? Hey, your mother asked you a question. Nothing, just Lisa being a nosey parker. Hang on, young lady. Chelsea, get back here I'm talking to you. Now. You need to up your game, missy. You need to start playing by the rules, because the plans your headmaster has for you do not fit with ours. You're right. My attitude sucks. Good. I'm glad you know that. Yeah. After you guys started screwing other people and we were shipped off to Oz, and then moved back here, just as we were getting used to it, it's been hard not to get angry. But I realise it's up to me to take control of the situation. I'll start with my homework if that's all right with you? (BOTH STAMMER QUIETLY) Yes. Thank you. So, how was your day? You didn't believe a word of that shit, right? Go to your room. I'll go, then. Good idea. (TENSE MUSIC) (SNORES QUIETLY) Phineas, why don't you wanna sleep next to me anymore? I told you, Carol. If I can't give you a baby, then I don't want to sleep next to you. It'll be too tempting. But I wouldn't mind if you were tempted. I love you, Carol. Well, that's good. And I always will... But I have my reasons for not wanting to... lie with you. You just need to respect that. We're really going to show that son of a bitch. We'll teach that mother fucker not to fuck me over. (CHUCKLES) Yep, we're gonna show him. He thinks he can dump me, and have business the same as usual? Jog on, fucko. Jog fucking on! Hey. This is all going to go to plan, right? Why? It's all locked down, isn't it? Yeah, they're in. But, you've got the cash at the end, right? These guys don't fuck around. Of course. I said I did, so I do. And then it'll just be us. Which is what this is really about. (CHUCKLES) Good. Great. Netball run, leaving now. I've done the dishes. Suck up. Hey, I can go to a concert, right? What concert? It's just a friend has a spare ticket. Dire Straits. What friend? From school. It's a free ticket. They're a pretty av' band. Nothing weird is going to happen. Isn't that that band that you told Lisa if she listened to them one more time you were going to send her butt into Dire Straits? It's fine. Never mind. I was just trying to fit in, make some friends. We should forget it. Well no, let's not 'forget' it, exactly. We'll talk about it later, all right? (SIGHS) All right, I'm off. Back to the pub? Yeah, to run book ` my job, Falani. You'll be staying away from the booze, though, as you have a big job with the gang this evening. (DOOR BELL CHIMES) For the woman who has everything... This month's contributions to your wage bill. And now I have the money you owe me, my life is complete. Well, I'm glad to be of service. Rita. Danny. Hello, my dear. I didn't know you were coming in today. Well, the state of your business deemed it necessary. Especially with all these new 'employees'. Oh, good (!) Now everyone's here. Hi, Rita. I went round to yours, but Wolf told me that you were working today. Fancy a gin? Anyone? I do. Do you know what? I'm gonna leave you ladies to it. Thank you, though, Carol. He's always so lovely. I'll get the gins. It's a bit early, isn't it? Not really. (SIGHS) Women, am I right? They're pretty... confusing, eh? Mm-hm. They do one thing, say another. Yes. Have a fun time, kiddies. Thanks. Come on, Eric! CHERYL: Uh... Mate. Yeah? Right? Nah. Adios, chumps. You guys are missing out. No. But you will, so we'll see you shortly. You know, it's not so much the music that I'm looking forward to but it is the sexy magic that will follow the music. You don't really think this disturbing plan's gonna work, do you? Wendy loves Mark Knopfler, right? So this is the subtle art of suggestion. It's not that subtle. You're gonna suggest that she wants to have sex with you? Well, yes. But subconsciously. Come on my young friends, on what I like to call Operation Tunnel of Love. He's just so sad. And cold. And distant. Is Ted ever like that? Sometimes it's lonely being with someone. It just comes with the territory. Was it like that for you? Sure, when he was out rooting someone else. Mike? STAMMERS: What? No. With Mike it was more suffocating than lonely. I wish I knew what he was thinking. Mike? Phineas. We haven't made love in months. He won't touch me if he can't give me a baby. Well, that's bloody selfish. Is it? A woman has needs. He knows that. Phineas? I doubt it. Well, he told me it would be OK if I found a lover who could give me a baby. Well, that has to be a trap. A trap? Testing you? Yeah, absolutely. Don't act on it. God no, do not so much as look at anyone else. (LAUGHS NERVOUSLY) Of course not. Because Phineas will kill him. Carol, you haven't done anything, have you? No. Of course not. (SCOFFS) (ROCK MUSIC) Get unlimited data, talk and text with Vodafone Get unlimited data, talk and text with Vodafone for just $79.99 a month. Sign up in-store or online at vodafone.co.nz What's taking them so long? I've no idea. I want to get on with it. (GRUNTS) Easy tiger. We're stealing art. Think care and detail, not punching. Hi, boys. About bloody time. Tell that to ol' 'better lose some more bloody money on the horses' here. Yeah all right, OK, we're here now, let's get this thing done. (ROCK MUSIC) (ENGINE REVS) (CROWD CHEERS) (ROCK MUSIC PLAYS) ...and everlasting life. (ROCK MUSIC PLAYS) Bingo. What the fuck is he doing here? No! This isn't a part of the plan. Here you go, mate. How's it going? Very well, thanks. Cool, thanks. Great, thank you. Hi. Ah, this one's a fake. I won it. From 89fm. It's fake. No, I` No, it's not fake` It's fake. Brian! Next please. It's a fake ticket. You can have mine. No, it's your favourite band. No. Brian, go. This is my dream concert come true. Yeah. A once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. Mm-hm. You're the best. Hey, sorry. I couldn't help but hear. The thing is, we just got turned away. Radio station tickets turned up in the post and they turned out to be bogus. Same thing happened to me, so th` I know. Some fucking idiot's idea of a joke. I said those blimmin' kids down the road were being tricksters. What a dirty disappointment. Mmm. It's kind of ironic, isn't it? What? Me and you. Our dodgy history. Now united as victims in a cruel prank and our love for the best band in the world, AKA, Dire Straits. Hey, what would you say if I told you that there was another way to get in? I would say that that's probably not legal. I don't know about legal, but it would be justice. But where does passion go? Phineas and I used to park up somewhere. Anywhere. And he'd give me a rogering until the cows came home. That's quite the picture, Carol. That is a very seductive feeling. Where does that feeling go? Well, with Mike, that feeling was the first thing to go. Everything else just curled up and died after. Well what about you, Rita? Ted and his tracksuit doing it for you these days? Marriage isn't always about frantically getting your end away. It's a marathon not a sprint. (DIRE STRAITS' MUSIC PLAYS) I love this band, eh. Everyone knows how much I love 'em. In fact, you know, my nickname is The Tunneller of Love. Really? It's not the nickname I'd give myself, obviously, is it? Oi! Run! Hey, stop! Get back here! Quick, quick while the guards are distracted. No, hang on. Whoa! Come on, Wendy. Stop! Shit. Falani?! This is your uncle thing?! SPARKY: What, being a fascist? I feel so dirty. You should. Yeah, or you could give us all a boost. But as a man of uniform I` I'm sorry, I forget myself. The authority of the clothes sometimes take over and... In you go. See? Just up like this. No? It's kinda sexy, isn't it, hey? (SCREAMS) Living outside of the law. Hey Eric! After the concert, meet me at Gate C. I have a special surprise for you. OK. Wendy, wait up! (MOANING, HEAVY BREATHING) (CHERYL MOANS) (SIGHS) (TENSE MUSIC) (TENSE MUSIC) LEFTY: I'm feeling rich pickings ahoy. BILKEY: No, we're after one particular painting. That is it. Bilkey, are we robbing the Governor General? More like the bloody Queen. Right. Now, the door is locked, but the alarm's been turned off. So, essentially we're furniture movers? Bloody well-paid furniture movers. Have you got a problem with that? Ooh, look at you. It's my job, Ted. OK, well fine. If you wanna be in charge, then I'll stay lookout. Be my guest. (TENSE MUSIC) OK, someone likes cocks. I don't know about this. It's just art, Phin. Phineas! (TENSE MUSIC) Psst! Oi! Fuck. (METAL CREAKS) Ted. Ted, wake up! Ah. What? You fell asleep, mate. The first rule of lookout is to lookout, not pass out. Fuck off, I was not asleep. I'll tell you what, mate, why don't you sit in the van for this one and I'll keep a lookout? You know, just for a change. Yeah sure, whatever you say Bert. Doesn't really matter what the fuck I do does it? I can't believe this actually seems to be working. Yeah, I saw him cop a feel when he got up front. (GROANS) Gross. I hope you were OK up the front. There are animals who take advantage of the crowd to touch up beautiful women. Pigs. I didn't even notice. I was just too lost in the music. He's an amazing guitarist. Just the best. I almost died during 'Private Investigations'. Yeah, me too. Orgasmic. I should be heading off. Go and find Brian. Well, good luck in this crowd. Thank you for getting me in tonight. Hey, you remember that surprise that Falani promised? What if it's backstage passes, or invites to the after-show party? I should be going, but I would kick myself if I missed something like that. Well, to Gate C it is, then, eh! (CHUCKLES) 'Wind on My Skin'. Righto, let's get it down. Fuck no. I'm not touching that thing. You can't catch gay from a painting, Phin. You don't know that. Yeah, I think I do. I'll help you, Bilkey. What the`? Ted! He's asleep. What? Oi, hey! Hey! Where the hell's Bert? Get in, get in! There's a car coming down the drive. Drive for fuck's sake! Ted, fuckin' drive, man! (ENGINE TURNS OVER, REVS) (TENSE ROCK MUSIC) (TYRES SCREECH) Hey, slow down. There's no one behind us! Can we stay on the bloody road? Slow the fuck down, Ted. (BROODING MUSIC) Fuck! (ALL EXCLAIM, SCREAM) (LOUD BANG) Hey. (CHUCKLES) Hello. Hello. Hey. They say language is the gateway to culture. And I have the key. Can I interest you in the big Kiwi breakfast? (PHONE TRANSLATES INTO SWEDISH) (SPEAKS SWEDISH) PHONE TRANSLATOR: Kiwis are endangered, no? (SPEAKS SWEDISH) PHONE TRANSLATOR: I could try a little one. # Oh, oh. Oh, oh. Oh. # Can't get to the end of the treasure hunt and not find out where the treasure is. I feel like the end of the treasure hunt might be my bed. Brian will be wondering where I am. Falani! Wendy, Falani's here. Eric, Sparky, Chelsea, Wendy the neighbour. What's in the drum? It's the dashed hopes and dreams of the concert smuggler. Oh! (ALL CHUCKLE) Oh, yes! Really, Falani? Oh, and some tiny sweaty Englishman gave me this. No. Yes! (SQUEALS) Yeah! No! (SMOKE HISSES) (TENSE MUSIC) BILKEY: You got it? BERT: Yeah. Just put it down for a sec. Careful. Everyone OK? Yeah. You're drunk. I can't believe you'd be so stupid. Why were you driving? I didn't realise he was drunk. I just thought he was being a dick. He was being a dick. Thank you, Eric. I actually had a really good time... I think. Yeah. Me too. I might have misjudged you. And your friends. It's just you seem so... Mysterious? Something like that. It's easy to do. We're a little rough around the edges. But actually we're just good people trying to make our way in the world. Hey, Wendy, that headband really, really suits you. You think? It makes you look like a rock star. Fuck, yeah. A really hot, sexy rock star. Really? Yeah, like Mark Knopfler except not going bald. Or like someone who's recently had a head injury. OK. Catch ya later. See ya, Wendy. I'm in love, I think. (TENSE MUSIC) (INHALES) You beautiful man! (CHUCKLES) Who's the sucker now, eh? That little bitch thought he'd get away with it! Well, I guess it's time to find a new agent. Actually it turns out that agent wants his boy back. Yeah, but he was the bastard who dicked you over. Yeah. (SNIFFS) But what a great dick. Wait. What do you mean he wants his boy back? Nathaniel's already called. He wants his painting and he wants me. On his books? In his bed. In his mansion. Yeah, but what about us? We had fun, Bilkey. And you helped get me what I wanted. And I'm eternally grateful. Thank you. You said it was more than that. I'm sorry, sweetheart, but I need a certain degree of income to fund all of this. Babe, we had a great time. But this was always about getting Nathaniel back. Well, fuckin' pay up, then. Fine. Be like that. Go on, pay your boys. Maybe I don't deserve my cut. Guess that's the end of the line. See you boys later. Ciao. You need a lift? I can pick you up a car around here somewhere. Nah, not going home tonight. Where else would you go? Bilkey. (STIRRING ROCKY PIANO MUSIC) # She stepped up, loudly cursing, # crazy in the eyes. # Smiling drunk and walkin' strange, # back slappin' at her thighs. # I shivered and turned my head away. # Starin' at the drain... # What are you doing here? Still trying to work out why we fucked. Twice. I feel like we went over this. The way I figure it, even after all these years, you still can't resist me. (SCOFFS) God, you're a smug, irresponsible prick. Do you want to see my smug, irresponsible prick? No, I don't. We're not getting back together, Lefty. But we will. # Crazy woman, where will you sleep tonight? (KNOCKING) It's OK. Phineas won't be home tonight. # And who's going to care if you... Phineas, no. Welcome back, sir. Quickly.
