00:01Taxi, mate.
00:06Hello, Dad.
00:07My Godfather.
00:09The place is a bit of a mess.
00:12Bit of a mess? What do you mean?
00:16How is she?
00:17It's hard to say. She sleeps most of the time.
00:20So how long can you stay for?
00:22A couple of weeks.
00:23I've got an opera to do in Germany.
00:24What opera?
00:25Does it matter?
00:26You've never heard of it. You don't know anything about opera.
00:29What is it?
00:30It's a Traviata.
00:31Never heard of it.
00:34Oh, nice.
00:35Dad.
00:36G'day.
00:37How'd you know I'd be here?
00:38You drove here.
00:39Why not?
00:40You're not supposed to be driving.
00:41I can drive. It's safe.
00:43You're a terrible driver, Dad.
00:48You're going to steal my car.
00:52I'm not looking forward to old age.
00:54I don't look forward.
00:56Where'd you get all that?
00:58Supermarket.
01:01True.
01:03I would've done that.
01:05But you didn't.
01:09G'day.
01:10You're back early.
01:11Dad.
01:12Don't you think that's a bit strange?
01:13I'm washing my bloody clothes as well as me.
01:15What's wrong with that?
01:16What's wrong with that?
01:23Well, you better face up to it.
01:24Up to what?
01:25Dad.
01:26He won't be able to cope in that house.
01:28You know that.
01:29We used to come up here years ago, remember, Dad?
01:33Of course I remember.
01:34Why are we here now?
01:36We just need to talk.
01:38It's just you getting on, Dad.
01:41What are you suggesting?
01:43As a kid, I always felt like a stranger.
01:45I always felt like one day my real parents would turn up and take me with them.
01:49Don't mind that one.
01:50I know.
01:51I know.
01:52What's this?
01:53That's just some rough sketches for the sets.
01:54The heroine's love life goes all wrong.
01:55She dies of consumption at 23.
01:57Laugh, I'm in it.
01:59Even as a kid, you were always refined and sensitive.
02:01Just a few different things on time.
02:02Let me go.
02:03The heroine was a little young male personality.
02:04A little bit more than a man who was really shengy.
02:05I want to know.
02:06You, I want to know.
02:07I don't know.
02:08It's not a human being.
02:10You was a human being.
02:11I don't know.
02:12It's not a human being.
02:13I don't know.
02:14You, I'm not a human being, I don't know.
02:15I'm a human being.
02:16I'm a human being.
02:17I don't know.
02:18You know.
02:19You know, even as a kid, you were always refined and sensitive.
02:23I was going to say a bit of a pain in the arse.
