Daniel, do what Sarah said or you

But I'm not gonna know it.
Then why work then?
Why choose not to do your work like

That's what happens.
All right, so why don't

Pass it back here.
Who wants, anyone?
Pass it back here.
Why?
I'm gonna stab you with
these fucking pencils.
Hey, Daniel.
He won't give me my pencil back.
Your pencil? Yeah.
Can he just borrow it?
No.
All right, that's the fourth
time I've spoken to you today.
Let's go to the library, wait for us.
We're going there in five minutes.
Hurry up, Daniel.
Come, do you want some?
Come here.
It's driving me mad.
Dan, do you remember
shooting me in the face?
Get out of my way. Get out of my way.
Get out of my way.
Get out of my way.
I don't getting ammo.
Daniel! I don't

Come watch us.

Where have you been?
Nowhere.
Your teacher came here today,
said you wasn't at school.
How many times I
got to tell you?
Okay.
Yeah, well, I'm gonna
tell your father on you.
You gotta get a stick
off Linden for me.
You okay, boy? Look, here

Nothing.
What, you can't come?
I just stand and paint here, try
to make me money for ourselves.
What you want?
My mama want a stick.
Well, she's lucky, I
only got one left.
Only one left.
Yeah.
Someone said you're
fucking up at school.
Said you stabbed Tupac with
a pencil or something.
Yeah, don't fuck around me, boy.
He's trying to be bad, all boxing
like his old father would.
Hey, yeah, that's right,
until we met them boys.
Yeah.
Boxing matches?
It must have been.
Hey, hey, Daniel. Daniel.
Who you mad on?
No one.
Tanitia, eh?
Tanitia, eh?
Yeah.
Tanitia? What, you

Say hello to your
Aunt Cindy there.
Where's Nana?
She's in the room in
there, laying down.
Come tell her to come out
here and see her sister.
Nana.
Aunt want you out there.
Well, she won't come out.
Well, take Aunt Cindy for a
walk around the mission.
Show her where she used to walk
around when she was little.
Go on, take her.
Daniel, what's her name?
Aunt Cindy.
Where she's been?
Sydney.
Who took you away?
It was a long time ago that they
took people away from here.
How come they took you away?
So...
Where the fuck you going?
Well, we going out of here, boy,

What do you want to do?
Come fishing or what?
Are you coming, you come for a ride?
Go on, jump in.

See, I'm trying to
catch a fish here.
Daniel, please go back that way.
Fuck off, now, man.
I mean it, cunt. I fucking...
Jesus, man.
No fucking fishing

I ain't fucking

I said move now!
No, please, Daniel.
Jesus, fucking
stubborn mate, look.
And then...
What, your Aunt Cindy just
came home last night, did she?
What, she's been gone
a long time, too, eh?
My old aunt got taken
away when she was little.
Some fellas came about and
took her away in a bus,
said they was taking
her to a dentist.
She's been gone for 50 years.
That's a long trip to the
dentist, don't you reckon?
You know what?
You know what, Daniel? I always
dance around down here, boy.
I always did,
probably down here.
Dance round here all night
around the fire and...
I used to have a good
time down here, you know.
Then we just dropped
our lingo home.
Until our old managers come down, try
to stop him and put him in jail.
Used to tell them to stop
doing it all the time.
But then, they... Do
you know the lingo?
They teach you the
lingo at school?
Yeah, but I don't want it.
Forget it, man.
The lingo that I know is the
only one mom and dad learned me.
You know what a kangaroo is? You
know what they call a kangaroo?
They call it banda.
What about a fish? You know
what a fish is? A guya.
Bushtracker, see?
I don't know much about
bushtracker in lingo words.
That's about it.
Fourth way down.
All right, Dan, hey, boy. You

Hey, fucking heavy
shit this time, eh?
I'm trying to see...
Hey, you now look more
fucking shit to me.
Bring it around here,
