[lighter flicks] [water bubbling] [exhales] [woman moaning] [cheesy music] [woman moaning] [women moaning] [women moaning] [women moaning] [door opening] Oh fuck! [door opens] [sniffing] Are you boys smoking in here? What are you doing? Nothing. Just watching the TV. [women moaning] Okay, good. Dinner in five. [laughs] [laughs] Do you eat good food like this round your place, Mikki? Not like this. Yeah, bet just all boiled cabbage and shit round your place, yeah? Fuck off, Dan. He knows I'm taking the piss, don't you? - Mm, you're a good cook, Mr. O. - Are you having a go? You two smart-asses get in there and cook for me and see how it is. [phone ringing] [phone ringing] - Hello? - You reckon that's his girl? Oh, you don't know? She's as keen as mustard, calling him every five fucking minutes. You too. Bye! Who was that? Mum. What did she want? Nothing, dad. Don't worry about it. Fuck! [shattering] Who's this girl? [camera winding] No-one. Some girl that I met at the beach. [clears throat] Got this from Tomi. - Oh, great. - I'll keep it with the rest. You'll just blow it on your fucking girlfriend! No, it's good man. It's like two grand now. It'll get us up the coast, but we have to get a job pretty soon. Did you tell your parents yet? Where have you been? You're supposed to be home after school. - I was at Dan's. - Did you eat there? Yeah, they eat early because Jack has to go to work. Good. So do I. I have a double shift because someone did not turn up. Your father works late too and Tomi is sleeping, so don't bother him. Your uncle works him too hard! Hey, mum. Dan and I were thinking about what we'd do after school. [car honking] Not now, Mikls. I have to go. Hi, Mik. You're getting tall! Hey, Helen! You're getting fat! [music playing] [heavy breathing] [thud] What the fuck are you doing? What the fuck are you doing, Mik? - Tomi... - Are you fucking watching me? - Tomi, I... - Jesus Christ, man! I'm sorry! What the fuck is the matter with you? Stay the fuck away from me! Tomi! Tomi! [door slams] [engine and music starts] [tires squealing] [honking] [honking] Tomi! - Tomi! - Fuck off, Mik! [car honk] [thud] [ambient sound] [faint heartbeat] [inaudible background horrified voices] Your son took his mother's car to go and look for his brother and arrived on the scene as the accident took place. The driver responsible had already left. [inaudible voices] Bloody terrible thing, Mikki. They should bloody torture the bastard that did this to your mother. Fucking useless cops! Listen, your family needs some happiness now. This will be hard for your father. You know what I'm saying? He lost his only son. No. That's not what I meant. I wish things were different than they are. Don't you wish it had never happened? It's a little late to try and be my father. It was a long time ago. People make mistakes, Mikls. - I, I, I was never built for family. - Well, you shouldn't have fucked her! Mikls! With Tomi not here, I need help in the shop. You come see me, huh? Okay. Hail Mary, full of grace. The lord is with thee. Blessed art thou among women. Blessed is the fruit of thy womb, Jesus. Holy Mary, Mother of God, pray for us sinners now and at the hour of our death. Amen. Hail Mary, full of grace. The lord is with thee. Blessed art thou among women, and blessed is the fruit of thy womb, Jesus. Holy Mary, Mother of God, pray for us sinners now and at the hour of our death. Amen. Amen. Hail Mary full of grace. The lord is with thee. Blessed art thou among women, and blessed is the fruit of thy womb. [door closes] You look like him. He asked me to marry him, you know? I said we weren't ready. - They still not speaking to you? - Barely. Your ma has been good though. As she would be. You've got her grandkid. This was supposed to be my new family. I don't know where I fit now. [crying] No one is ever going to be him. I'll look after you. This is a great tragedy. But it's a credit to Jzsef and Illona who have raised two strong boys who understand the importance of duty to their family. [music] Saw the most amazing thing on TV last night. It was this doco about insects and shit. And there were these two slugs, fucking. It was disgusting, but it was beautiful at the same time. [lighter flicks] [exhales] They was twisted around each other for like an hour. And then they let out this like long rope made of slime and just hung there in the air. And then th-they wrapped their um, their sex organs around each other and created this amazing spiral connected thing. I never thought about slugs fucking before. It was amazing. [camera winding] [camera shutter] Hey, dad! Can you give me a lift? You should get up early so you can walk to school. Ask your mother! Seriously, I thought about putting two of them over there... Yeah, that's a great idea. Get rid of the broccoli, because the broccoli is just not good. - No, broccoli is good for you! - No, the lemons are much better... [door creaking] [spraying] [sighs] [clipping] [music] This is the one. Nice house! [sighs] She's definitely out of your league! Shut up, man! Must do alright, eh? - Don't embarrass me, man. - I'll try not to say anything, Dan. [knocking] - Hey! Took your time! - Sorry. Sorry. This is Mik. Hey, Mik. I've heard lots about you. I'm sorry about your brother. - So what are you guys up to? - Um just hanging around. We're heading down to the beach. You know, my parents are out at the auctions if you wanted to come in and see my room. Is that cool, man? I mean I can meet you at the beach. We won't be too long. Yeah, you won't be too long. I heard your folks did okay with this place. It's seriously flash! Yeah I guess. I didn't realise you were such a princess! Mik! Dad works hard. Yeah, my dad, he packed shelves for 20 years. He has nothing like this! Mik, chill out! It's okay. Just giving me a hard time, aren't you, Mik? Yeah, sorry. - Okay? - Cool. [door closes] [traffic sounds] Annuska. - Hi. - John-Paul, hi. Friend of yours? This is Mik, Tomi's brother. Thought it was a junky trying to break in. Just about to call the cops. No, he's good. Thanks for keeping an eye out. Thanks, John-Paul. You have Tomi's jacket on. - Oh, I'm sorry, I didn't- - No. Keep it. He'd want you to have it. Um, there's some weed in Tomi's drawer. I don't want it here. [music] [chuckles] [laughs] - Come dance! - No, no! Why not? Come on! [laughs] Stop! - No, I can't! - Yeah, you can! You can! Come on! Woohoo! [laughing] Wooo! [banging] John-Paul? Sorry, John-Paul, don't go and call- [laughs] What's wrong? I think we've woken someone up. It's okay. Do you have a name yet? I'm not sure if it's a boy or a girl. We wanted it to be a surprise. I'm sorry. No. It's not you. It's just... The last few days it didn't move and I thought, after Tomi, I, I almost didn't want it anymore. How could anybody even think something like that? [sniffles] I'm sorry. I'm glad you came. I should go. Take it. [music] [door creaks open] Shit! Mik! Come here! Come here and close the door! Come on! What's the matter with you, man? You want to bring the wrath of God down on me, huh? - Huh? - Ow! What are you doing? You want to try some? Yeah. I'll just give you a little bit because this shit will fuck you up. [lighter flick] [coughing] Shhh! Keep it down! They'll hear! Alright, we'll try something else. Just breathe in. [lighter flicks] Shotgun. [laughs] [laughs] You look wasted already, little man! [laughing] Take it off! [parking brake] [door slams] Mikls Varga. Do you have anything to say? Look, I know you've been having a difficult time. But this is a very serious situation. [grinding] I need to inventory these cans of paint. Now, you count them and then you take note here, huh? Your brother was a good boy. Good boy. He wasn't the greatest student, but he was courteous. Listen, I want to buy that paint you recommended, but I can't remember which one it is. - I have the swatches you gave me. - Sorry, that was my brother. Well, can you tell me which would be better? Missed you at the beach the other day. Well, they're white. They have different reflect. Reflex. Hey, fellas. When you're young it makes sense to want to rebel when things don't go your way. Shit news about your bro, man. He was a good guy. - Oh, this one is cheaper. - That's not the point. Your brother said that one of them had a warm reflect and would be better. But I can't tell. Look, I'd rather talk to him. Bummer he's dead though. Who are we going to buy weed from now? Are you trying to be funny? That's yellow. I don't want yellow. I want this. - Right, they're both fucking white! - What? [grinding] You fucking-Say you're fucking sorry! When is your brother back? I need to talk to him... He's not coming back. He's dead, okay? So you just have me. Fucking relax, psycho! [punches] Mik! [punches] Fuck! Yeah, you fucking piece of shit! [punching] Mikls, go sweep the back! Get off him! Get off him! - Fuck off! - Get off him! Fuck off! I think your brother would be very disappointed by what's happened today. [digging] No! You're doing it wrong. You're doing it wrong. You dig in the mulch. You don't stab the dirt. See? See? - See? - Okay. Sorry. Useless. Fucking useless! Fucking waste of space! Fucking useless! Fuck! Fuck! Expelled! You are expelled! Expelled! You make me sick to look at you! Fuck! Fuck! I saw it when you were born! Who are you? Tketlen kis bna pocs! [spits] [water running] [traffic sounds] [cars honking] [engine not starting] Stop it! [crying] [banging] [screams] [airplane engine] Whose shitbox? Ha! It's ah my shitbox! Ohhh! Want to go for a ride? It doesn't go yet. Dad's going to get it up and going when he wakes up. It's a birthday present! - What a piece of shit! - Yeah, you're just jealous, dick! [laughs] Yeah, it's awesome. It's our escape! [splash] Ohhh! Fucker! - Don't you fucking dare! - Hey? Don't fucking dare! Don't you fucking dare! Hey hey! Shut the fuck up! I'm trying to fucking sleep! I'm the one that had to fucking work all night, remember? [splashes] [laughing] You fucker! Shut up, Dan! [laughing] No! Give up, fucker? [heavy breathing] [spits in Dan's face] [inaudible] [spits in Mik's face] [laughs] Fuck! [car honking] [music] Oh, you're fucking kidding! [singing]... is the city life, gonna fall in, wasting... [mumbling lyrics] Don't stop, it's beautiful. We'll be... Even in our dog years, we were dancing in the rain! [music turns off] Hey, thanks for inviting me, Mik. I didn't. I guess you've got nothing better to do than come along to a wake for someone you didn't even know. I'm sorry. Dan invited me. But if you, if you prefer I didn't, I could catch the train back. [music] - I don't know this one. What is it? - It's a Tomi classic! Woo! Travel safe, brother! [all screaming] [seagulls squawking] This night is a celebration to our brother, Tomi Varga. The man with the best weed in town! So let's make it a good one! And hope that that bastard rots in his own guilt for what he did. Send a though to his girlfriend, Annuska, who didn't feel up to being here tonight. And send, send a thought to his family. Tomi! Tomi! Tomi! Hey, walk with me. Come on. It's so beautiful here. Tomi taught us how to surf here. - Mik ate a lot of sand that day. - Bullshit! That was you. Pfff, fuck it. I'll be back in a sec. I am sorry about before. - I don't know what happened. - It's okay. Thanks. I'm glad you came. Looks cosy! [laughing] I'm going to head back down. - Stay here with us if you want. - No, it's cool. I'll see you guys in a bit. See you. [waves crashing] What happened to my bike? Ma? - What happened to my fucking bike? - Mikls, don't use that language. - Did you do this? - Yes. Why? Why? I don't want you killed too! How the fuck am I supposed to get around now? Don't swear! Well, you can catch the fucky fuck bus like everyone else! [laughs] Oh, you think it's funny? Why I can't swear too? Fuck! Fuck fuck fuck fuck fuck! Fuck! Why do I care what people think? My son is dead. You are a criminal. You are expelled from school now. Is this my punishment? Oh! - Hey, mum. I'm sorry. - Don't touch me! You try to be as your brother, but you will never be the man he was! [laughter] [buzzing] [buzzing] [banging] Smells good! Ah maybe it's a little too hot. Mik, what are you doing here? How did you get in? Out of the window. I just, I just wanted to- Do you think maybe I could, I could stay here with you tonight? [music] Thanks for the plant. Where did you get it? Yeah, maybe put that back! Um, I wanted to give you these. - I can't take that. - It's not everything. He fucking loved that shirt. I hate it! I never let him wear it. Tried to throw it out like a hundred times. Try it on. Thanks. [clears throat] Look, Mik. I'm pretty exhausted. - Will you be okay on the couch? - Yeah, I'm, I'm fine. - There's some stuff here. - It's cool. I can, I can sort it out. Okay. Night. You know where everything is. Make yourself at home. [camera shutter] You shit! - I'm fat! - No, you look good. - Coffee? - Yeah. Can I do anything? Do you need shopping or anything? You can have a look at the sink. It doesn't drain properly. Yeah, okay. - I can do that. - Alright. I'll see you later, maybe. And keep the music down! [music] [banging] [phone ringing] - [on phone] Hi, Mik? - Hey, do you have a wrench somewhere? [on phone] I dunno. There's tools in the laundry. You sure you know what you're doing? Yeah, I'm fine. Thanks. [foreign language on TV] [aerobic TV show] [inaudible] Four, three, two, let's go! Pull it back. Use those arms. Squeeze your shoulder blades! [phne ringing] - Hey, do you have a mop somewhere? - [on phone] Ah near the back stairs. - What's happened? Is everything okay? - Everything's fine. [on phone] Listen, Mik, you can't keep calling me. I'm not supposed to take calls. Okay, sorry. [water running] [moaning] [groaning] Fuck! [phone ringing] - [on phone] Hello? - Hi. - [on phone] Who's this? - Oh, it's Mik. [on phone] Oh, Mik, what's up? Nothing much. Just, just saying hi. [on phone] Are you okay? - What are you doing? - [on phone] Just studying. Got a free day. Do you want to maybe hang out? Do you want to go find somewhere to sit? So have you thought about getting a job or anything now that school is over? - I'm sort of working in my uncle's shop until Dan finishes and then we fuck off up north. Oh yeah. He told me about that. What did he say? Just that you guys are thinking about going up the coast to work. Thinking about it? So how come you guys ditched me the other night? [camera shutter] We didn't! We looked for you, but I had to get back before my parents lost it. - What, you think it was me? - Maybe. Mik, you're sort of in love with him, aren't you? What? Fuck! No. - Are you? - No. He's my best friend. - Have you ever been with a girl before? - Yeah, heaps. Okay, no! So what? So why not? Do you like girls? Yeah, sure. Try it. What? It's okay. Not like that. Here. [heavy breathing] I have to go. Mikls. That was nice! Jesus Christ! [door opening] Hey, man. Was wondering when you were going to reappear. - How've you been? - Where you going? I'm meeting Phaedra. I was going to give you a call. She asked me to invite you over. - What, me? - Yeah, and me, dickhead. Just to hang out, the three of us. - Her folks are away this weekend. - No, man. Maybe you just go. Come on, man. I really want you to like her. No, I'm not into it. She makes me feel like I've got a future. Maybe this isn't as serious for her as it is for you, man. - I mean is it? - Why? You don't think she likes me? No, it's not that. - It's just- - Shit, man. I've got to go. - Man, I have to tell you something. - Later, bro. I'd drop you home but I'm late as it is, right? Think about the weekend. Fuck! I sent you yesterday to fix it up and then you disappear for I don't know what. If it's not this, it's that! I've had it! - What were you thinking? - I... - I had problems with the truck. - You couldn't call? It's too late for that! Where is your head? You are ruining the business! What sort of life can you give your family without me to help you? - Who else would hire you? - Hey, leave him alone! And look at your son, huh? The one that's still here! He dresses like his dead brother so that you will notice him. But your head is too far up your ass to even see! Shut the fuck up! - Mikls. - What? Are you going to say watch your mouth? Fuck you too. [slaps] I can't think of anything worse than being stuck here with you two for the rest of my life! I want nothing to do with you or your fucking hardware store. You're supposed to be brothers, for fuck's sake! At least you still have each other. - Mikls! - No! Fuck off! Anything you need? Anything you want? You see, maybe I can get some Coke? How's it going? I haven't seen you around here before. Not very chatty? Are you lost, little fella? No. Why don't you come hang out with us? We're just down the street. No. Come on, let's leave him alone. - Leave him alone. - Do you want to come and get on it with us? [laughs] [music] What have you got? Oh, that Spanish foot guy is on. Wants to see the new guy's feet. - No, no, no! - Hey! It's fine. He just likes feet. [typing] [bing] Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait! Don't give it away for free! [laughs] [bing] Okay, go! [laughs] Nice fucking socks, man! [laughs] Is she okay? Yeah, she's fine. Hey... [bing] [bing] 30 tokens for us to kiss. [laughs] [kissing] [bing] [laughing] Cha-ching! Thank you! [bing] 30 more if you two take your shirts off. [kissing] [bing] Okay, Benny boy. 300 if we get naked and fuck! Ha! What a romantic, huh? Hey! It's-Where are you going? Huh? [kissing] [phone vibrating] [on phone] Hey, where are you? What? [on phone] I think I just totally stuffed my English exam. - What time is it? - [on phone] Fuck, are you just waking up? Wish I had your life! It's nearly two. - Shit! - [on phone] Almost done! - Are you still going to Phaedra's? - [on phone] Yeah. - Is it still okay if I come? - [on phone] Yeah, man. Of course. That'd be awesome. You at Annuska's? - Ah... Yeah. - Cool. [on phone] Okay, hey, I've gotta go. See you later. [door closes] [unzips] [train passing] [music] [camera shutter] [splash] [laughs] Animals! Leave some water in the pool! [splashes] Nice bikini. You like it? Don't pull me in! I don't want to get my hair wet! I'm serious! Don't pull me in! I don't want to get my hair wet! Ohhh! [splashing] Don't get water in the house, Mik! [laughter] We can't just disappear! Why did you bring him? I thought it was just going to be me and you. Well, he's been alone a lot lately and I just- And I want you guys to like each other. I feel like he doesn't like us hanging out. Yeah, well he'll just have to get used to it! [kissing] Hey there. Where's Phaedra? She's getting dressed. Was it fun? Dude, her tits are amazing. - I think I'm in love, man. - Just go easy, man. Why? I just think that you may be more into it than she is. Don't do this. - There's something that you need to know. - This is fucking bullshit, man. You're supposed to be my best friend. And you just do that? Okay, things are different. Maybe I'm not in such a hurry to take off right now. Are you fucking for real? Hey, what's going on? We're just talking. - You want some more beers? - Yeah, I'll go. Thanks, Mik! [pissing] [music] [gasps] [in background] Hail Mary, full of grace. The lord is with thee. Blessed art thou among women, and blessed is the fruit of thy womb, Jesus. Holy Mary, Mother of God ... [in background] Pray for us sinners now and at the hour of our death. Amen. Hail Mary, full of grace. The lord is with thee. Blessed art thou among women, and blessed is the fruit of thy womb... Mikls. [in background] Jesus. Holy Mary, Mother of God... [in background] Pray for us sinners now and at the hour of our death. Amen. Hail Mary full of grace ... [splashes] Tomi... Fucking stink bugs back again. Tomi! We thought you were dead! - That was a mistake, wasn't it? - Yeah. Pa. It was just a mistake. I, I'm so sorry I I was hard on you. It's okay! I-it's okay. Pa, it's okay! Moshi! Moshi? Are you around here? Moshi? Mushka? Mushka? Moshi! Mushka! [pounding] [splash] - Fuck, Mik! - Dan? Mik! - What's going on? - Mik! Dan! Oh fuck! Oh fuck, Mik! [coughing/sputtering] Oh my god, man. Are you alright? Are you alright, man? Are you okay? I'm sorry. Sorry... [gasping] [vomiting] Oh fuck! [water running] I'm sorry for fucking up your night. Yeah, well you did that. Come on, get out. I didn't mean it. I just reckon she's no good for you. I think she's probably the best thing that's ever happened to me. She doesn't love you. [punches] What the fuck are you doing? Oh fuck! I just can't stop feeling sad. Oh, fuck you, Mik! Mik! What are you doing? [kissing] [phone ringing] Illona, hi. You're calling early. Oh my god, when did this happen? Yeah, he's here. Where are you? Okay, we're coming now. Look, we don't have all of the results as yet. But things aren't looking good. He's going to need full-time care. Your mother's outside on the balcony. Can you go grab her a coffee? Hey, do you know where I can find a coffee? Yeah, it's- [ambulance] Well, hey there. Hi. I have to find coffee for my mum. My ah, my dad had a stroke. Ah yeah, there's a coffee machine just down there. Have you got any coins? I guess that's two you owe me! I'm just fucking with ya! I hope your dad's okay. They're good here. Hey! I'm Sam. I'm Mik. Hey, Mik. [beeping] [whirring] Ma! Didn't know you smoked. I'm sorry I wasn't there. What would you have done? I've fucked everything. Mik! I'm sorry I made your life hard. You wish I was dead and it was Tomi that was here. I wish it too! Every single day. - Everything I do turns to shit. - That's not true. Bullshit! Every time you look at me I remind you that I ruined your life. You don't know anything. I'm hard on you because you need it. I look at you, I see myself at your age and the mistakes I made. [door creaking] I want you to come and stay with me. You need someone to look after you. You don't love me. - I'm worried about you. - Please don't be. I don't want that. - I'm sorry. - No. I'm sorry. I don't love you either. I'm not Tomi. I'm never going to be. You're better off without me. [knocking] [door unlocking] That boy's here! Back again! Can I please stay here? Gonna steal anything? I have money. What happened to you? My brother died. I never had a brother. Do you live here? No. Just visiting. I'm a ghost. Have you done this before? No. So what happened to your family? My dad is in hospital. Is he okay? I don't know. Hold your arm tight. Here. What about your mum? My mum! She's not okay. She fucked my dad's brother. It happened 18 years ago. My uncle is my dad. Everyone knows it, but no-one talks about it. [music] You're a ghost too. Ha! Better! Come here. Skin feels good. [heavy breathing] [vomiting] I have to go. Oh... Stay. Stay here with us. We can all be together. [tapping] I can see you. I'm not a ghost. Neither are you. You left this here. What the fuck happened to you, man? Where have you been? We were supposed to leave tomorrow. You still want to go! What the fuck else am I going to do? What about Phaedra? She's gone, man. She won't return my phone calls. Oh, you're not happy about that? You should be, man. You were right about her. I'm sorry. What for? It's not your fault, man. I mean you didn't fucking help things. But- Dan, I'm sorry. What the fuck did you do, man? Did you- Did you fuck her? Oh my fucking god! Are you for real? - You fucked her to ruin it for me? - It wasn't like that. Oh yeah? What was it fucking like, man? - Huh? What was it fucking like? - I didn't mean to. I love you! You love me? You love me? You love me so much you want to destroy my chance at a life, huh? [kisses] Is that what you want, man? Is that what you want, man? [gasping] Ah! [heavy breathing] Oh fuck! Mik! Mik! Mik! Mik! [thud] Get away from me! - Get away from me! It was me! It was me! - Man, stop! - I'm sorry, man. - It's my fault! There's something wrong with me! - It's not your fault, man. - It is my fault! I killed him! He was angry, he was running away from me. I watched the fucking car hit him! I watched him die! I killed him! [crying] Ssshhh. It was an accident, okay? It's going to be okay, alright? You and me. We're going to be okay. [door opening] Mikls! Thank you. - Ma! - Don't be silly! I made you. I'm not embarrassed to see you. You loved the bath when you were a baby. You never wanted to get out. [splashing] Why didn't you just ever tell me, mum? That time when I left your father, when I was with Viktor, oh that the happiest time of my life. I was so free! But he didn't want me. But you are right. I should have told you. I don't see a mistake when I look at you, Mikls. I see the most precious memory. I see me. And I see my baby boy. I miss him so much, mum! Oh... I know. I miss him too. But I will miss you too. I know you are going. Your brother told me. I won't stop you. You go and you be happy, Mikls. For me. You go make your life what you want. [music] [kisses] I love you, dad. [honking] It's the big day. Are you ready? I'm not coming, man. They need me here. You sure? I am. It's like the first time in my life I feel like I belong. - I have to be here right now. - I get it. How am I going to get in trouble without you, man? I'm sure you'll manage. I can't take that. Take it. You left this at mine. [camera shutter] I'll send it to you. Send me a postcard from somewhere good, yeah? I will. I'll be waiting for it. Look after yourself, man. You too. I love you, bro. [music] Bye. [car engine starting] |
