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?
00:22Couple 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 fella.
00:35Dad! G'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'm down at Ford.
00:56Where'd you get all that?
00:58Supermarket.
01:01Drew.
01:03I'd have 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.
01:52I know.
01:53What's this?
01:54There's just some rough sketches for the sets.
02:15The heroine's love life goes all wrong.
02:16She dies of consumption at 23.
02:18Laugh I'm in it.
02:20You know, even as a kid, you were always refined and sensitive.
02:24I was going to say, a bit of a pain in the arse.
