Ah, he has arisen.
Hmm. So charming!
Yeah, OK.
Coffee's on the table.
Hey, uh, keys...
I will leave them... over here.
OK.
Just in case you might wanna...
visit someone.
Look, he invited you in for a cuppa.
He obviously wants to connect.
Well, um, I'll see you later, eh?
Anahera?
- Hey. ? Hello.
Oh, I, um...
I... I fill in for Anahera sometimes.
But she was coming here.
Yeah, no, she, uh... she's got this thing.
Right.
I?I fill in for Anahera... Oh, I said that. Um...
Yeah, cool.
Looking for something for Dad. A peace offering.
Yeah.
He's really into, um,
collecting old International Geographics now.
The, uh,...
we harass a lost tribe for your viewing pleasure' kind or...?
No, no, no, no, I?I?I bin those ones.
More like, um, Maui's monster waves. Jaws.
Yeah. I got this real sick one on, um, Highland cows for him.
Yeah, loved it.
He's lucky you've been around, eh?
Nah.
I could be a nuisance.
I'm... I'm lucky, if anything.
Your dad's been real good to me.
So, you... you gonna stick around town for a little bit, or...?
Oh, yeah, my car's gonna cost a bomb to fix.
Oh.
But I kinda wanna stick around for a bit anyway.
Yeah.
? You all right? ? Um...
Look, last... last night, um...
? Yeah. ? It wasn't...
Um...
I'm not gay.
OK. Um...
Well, I'm just telling you so you know... uh,
it was a little bit gay, because you're a guy and...
I'm a guy.
Yeah.
Look, hey, I've thought about that sort of thing before...
like, guys. But, you know, I think a lot of stuff,
like what's up with lime?flavoured milk?
Really?
Yeah. You ever tried it? It's disgusting.
Nah, guys.
Well, yeah.
Like I...
Fuck.
I haven't done anything, like, you know, cos R?rangi's...
? Yeah. ? And...
And then there's this.
Yeah.
I thought this was...
gone, but, like...
Um, yeah, I'm gonna take this.
And, um, how much is that?
Enjoying it?
Um, yeah.
I've read this one before, but her later stuff is much better.
Whina Rangi.
I'll take the compliment.
Wait.
You're Whina? This Whina Rangi?
Last time I checked. You here for the class?
Yeah, I'm... I'm Anahera.
Total newbie.
That book's not for beginners.
Yes.
Well, it's hard learning with people,
and I just didn't wanna sound...
- I guess I left it too late. ? Late, eh?
I've taught people three times older than you, girl.
- Might be late for class. ? Oh!
Keep telling them that clock is slow.
You know, it used to be that we were supposed to feel shame
for speaking the M?ori language.
Now we're meant to feel shame for not speaking it.
Who benefits from our shame?
Who do you think you are? Right?
? Hello. - Hello.
? Huh.
What do you want?
? Agnes! This is a place where everyone is welcome.
Hm.
Dad.
? Hey. ? Hey.
? What's this? ? Doing your guttering.
Well, you're doing it wrong. Where's the downpipe?
Well, I haven't got to that yet.
You start with the downpipe.
Come down.
Come down!
I'm trying to help you.
I don't need your bloody help. I can do my guttering.
Can you even climb a ladder?
? What's that supposed to mean? ? Your leg.
You've been a man for, what, five minutes,
and now you think you know more than me?
I've been a man my whole life; you just didn't see it.
You never gave me the bloody chance.
And how would that've gone down, eh?
Exactly. I would've fuckin' killed myself in this town.
But as long as I did it in a pretty dress, right, Dad?
That's not fair.
? You knew how depressed I was. How could you not?
And then there's fuckin' Mum,
shoving womanhood down my throat.
She was trying to help you!
That was help?!
And you wonder why I got the hell outta here.
Well, if you don't like it so much,
why'd you fuckin' come back?
Yeah, why the fuck did I?
Fuck you.
Oh, here he goes. Yeah, good on you.
Piss off again.
Yeah, see ya again in 10 years.
It's a bloody deathtrap.
What if I can't sell your busted?up? other busted?up car?
Keep dropping the price, sell it for parts. I don't care.
But...
what are you doing?
I can't stay here!
Well, you shouldn't leave it like this with your dad.
? He said his part; it's fine. ? Well, obviously not.
Thank you for having me. It was really good seeing you.
Well, are you gonna say goodbye to Jem?
That's why I'm up so early.
Well, you're not allowed to disappear on me again.
? My eyes are too small, and my mouth's too big,
? and my ears are a different size.
? My elbows are funny,
? got an outsize tummy, and my knees wouldn't win a prize.
? My hands leave something to be desired,
? though they do just what's required.
? But there's a part of my body that can't be beat.
? I love my feet.
? I love my feet. ?
Hello?
Jem, it's me.
? Hey. ? Hi.
? Uh, you? you wanna come in? ? I'm going back to Auckland.
Oh.
- Uh... Uh, when? ? Now.
Right.
I just thought I'd come and say bye.
Yeah.
- It was really good seeing you. ? Yeah, you too.
I'll be in touch.
Maybe you could come and visit sometime.
Uh, I, um...
I'm real busy with work, so probably hard to get away.
?
See ya.
Yeah, bye.
Gerald.
Gerald?
Fuck. Um... Gerald, mate.
Help!
