All language subtitles for Ruben.Guthrie.2015.720p.BluRay.x264.[YTS.AG]

We'll be

right

back.

Baby, baby.

You know the rules, Ruben. You have half
a party, I go hotel.

Don't go hotel.

You can't.

This is Reuben Guthrie, and I am here.

This lovely hall, sitting in a circle,
having a share.

Right, well, I just got back from the
south of France where I picked up the

for Best Dad and Best Dad Campaign.

Fourth year in a row, just quietly.

So maybe I imbibed a little on the wing
of my continuing success and decided to

surprise everyone at my house party by
jumping off the roof.

Into my pool.

But I'm in.

The ironic thing, of course, is that I
created the entire ad campaign, How Will

You Feel Tomorrow?

Is it compulsory to wear Kmart
tracksuits, or is it just coincident

you are wearing... Ruben! Yes, Mum.

It's Mum.

Yeah.

My name is Ruben Guthrie, and I am in
advertising.

Crack the magnum of your favorite fizz.
I have to go now.

Now? Right now?

Yeah. How long is the shoot for?

The shoot is for three days.

Oh, okay, cool. See you back in three
days. The shoot is in Brazil, Ruben. I

told you this, but you were drunk.
Brazil, Brazil, Brazil. I'm going to the

shoot in Brazil, and then I'm going
home.

I'm going now to go home.

Home?

I'm confused, babe. You are home.

Home, not to Prague.

Home to my mother's home.

My real home.

Hey, to visit on your way back.

Dave.

Dave. Hang on.

Whoa, whoa, back up the truck.

You fucking what?

Going home to live with my mother, yeah.

Going home to live with your mother,
yes, and do what? I intend to make

documentary. Ha, okay.

You don't have any qualifications.

So to study. I mean, there ain't exactly
a big swimsuit scene in downtown

Prague, is there? How would you know?

You know nothing of Prague.

You never come to crack with me. Maybe.

It's about the pool incident.

No, I like what the pool incident has
done. Oh, fuck that!

I don't see why you're making fucking
such a rash decision to leave.

All we do is box each other in a two
-bedroom ring with no couch.

Every night, me in the quiet corner, you
in a drunken one. I mean meetings now,

Zoya. One meeting. Meeting.

One meeting, Robin. You go to one
meeting.

And in this meeting, you go to
humiliating us in front of everyone in

room. And now you're drinking this
champagne.

I'm celebrating my first meeting.

Baby, baby, we've been together for five
years now. Six. Six years now. Me

supporting you through your whole eating
disorder depression thing. Oh, my God.

I'm sorry. I should not have. Are you
comparing?

No. I was there for you, remember?

What I go through is not a luxury.

I know.

Getting fucked up is a luxury. I know. A
dumb, stupid, childish luxury. Yeah.

We are engaged, which means we stick by
each other in sickness and in health.

No, you do that when you're married.
Okay, all right, I'll buy a couch. I'll

stop drinking. You think this is funny?

One more inch this way, you crack your
head in that pool and you die.

You dick.

Zoya, Zoya, Zoya, don't leave! Fucking
Zoya!

Don't leave me alone.

Zoya, Zoya, Zoya!

Fucking model! You are gone, you are!
You titless fucking... You are gonna die

in the snow, chewing on your own hips!

Can't survive without Roman Guthrie!

Fucking... Fucking... Fuck!

Okay.

I love you, Ruben Guthrie.

The real you I love.

But I must leave you.

In this alcoholic country.

To feel better.

And to grow.

As me.

So if you want to see me again.

Yes, yes, yes.

Take one year of alcohol and come and
find me in the snow, yes?

Yes, yes, yes, this night, yes.

But not before this year is up.

One year.

So my wife says to me, Ken, if you drank
on my nail polish remover, just be

honest about it.

And I'm all like, well... All right,
Kenny, I'll take it from here, mate. I

mean... OK.

OK, I mean... Clearly, I'm not one of
you.

You know, with the whole title and
everything, OK? So don't look at me

But look, I'll admit to favouring a
drink.

It's un -Australian not to. And the
advertising industry, man. The thing is

blackouts, Reuben. Would you care to
stay on topic?

Blackouts? All right, blackouts.

Blackouts, blackouts.

Oh, Friday night, right?

End of the week client drinks a cargo
bar, you know. But I've got to meet Zoya

at the restaurant at seven for the
degustation.

It was her 21st birthday.

What?

So I think, okay, cool.

I'll hit client drinks at five.

I'll nail two or three peronias with the
Google guys, jump a cab to dinner, get

some flowers and a card on the way.
Boom, go!

But it's summer in the city, and I smash
ten beers in a flash, and

then someone scores some gack off a text
message, and it hits straight from the

Good Rock, and it lands.

Right in the middle of my face with a
thud and a zing and a let's go, baby.

then suddenly it's this post -folk band
holding a warehouse party in Darlington.

Ivy pool bar, some slut in a blue bra.

We kicked on this film actor's penthouse
suite and I'm fingering this peacock

-headed art dealer in a spa bar full of
moe. Suddenly, bang!

I'm on a fucking motorbike, right? With
my arms wrapped around this hilarious

lesbian gangster and she's taking me out
to a fibro shack way out west.

where we fucking bump a mountain of ice
and drink a crate of bourbon surrounded

by 35 cats.

Finally, I look at my phone and think,
Ruby, get to dinner, get to dinner, get

to dinner, and it's next week.

Oh, you think you got me?

You think I'm one of you?

Thing is, I love blackouts.

I actually think that blackouts are a
fucking gift from God.

Because he takes the details that we
care not to remember, he politely lifts

them out of the brain and then, so that
when we wake up, all we can recall is

going out and coming home.

It's night of God.

What the fuck am I doing here?

You alright there, bro?

This fax app is not working.

You should come to Tamarama home group
meeting with me. Why?

Tuesday morning, 7am.

Thursday, 6 .30pm.

Sweet attic pussy there, man.

Yeah. I'm not joining the fellowship,
Ken, all right? So save me the sales

pitch. I just misjudged my jump and the
dimensions of my pool.

Yeah, that's not the question, Reuben.
Oh, really? What's the question then,

Ken? Well, the question's not how or if
you misjudged the pool, but what you

were really doing up there in the first
place.

Jumping off your roof.

Sorry, am I, do I pay you?

Well, then that'll be your job, wouldn't
it?

My job is to kick your ass and you kick
their ass.

Well, how about you do it today?

Yep.

No, don't cry, don't cry. I'm paying you
not to cry.

I've got it. Hey!

Morning, Hendrick. Hey.

How is my golden boy?

Latte?

Latte.

Latte. You've got three coffees, right?
One for each man in the foyer and one

for each creative.

Oh, sorry.

How is that arm firming up? Yeah, it's
okay. The doctor says it'll be a few

weeks of video. This new Lexus campaign.

Lexus? Lexus luxury vehicles.

Yeah.

Hey, Ray, you had insomnia when you gave
up booze?

I don't know. I can't remember.

But you were a bit of a clown, weren't
you, Ray? I mean, you went to jail

No, Ray didn't go to jail. Running
over... No, Ray didn't go to jail.

Ruben! Get your fucking head in the
game!

Wake up!

Lexus fucking car!

Lexus! Lexus!

Lexus!

Lexus!

Did you read the sheet? Yeah. Lexus is
luxury. Lexus is the BMW for those with

inner style. Lexus is everything you
need to... Okay.

Now, listen.

Bradman. I love you like a son.

But of late, you have been of no use to
me.

None whatsoever.

You're asleep at your laptop. You're
gazing out the window like a fucking

teenager. Zoya left me.

She left me. I know this.

Okay? And that's... We talked about
that, and that would be hard.

Admittedly, that would not be easy.

She's very skinny.

Why can't you talk about these things
with me, Ray?

You've been through it. I'm going
through it right now. Because I don't

You don't care about my drinking
problem? I swear I keep a shotgun around

somewhere. Chet!

Chet! Who is Chet? Chet! Who the shit is
Chet? Chetty!

Stop saying Chet!

All good.

What's up?

No, actually, there's another thing.
It's all good.

All good is the lie.

Advertising is a lie, though. Isn't it,
man? Isn't it, man? But we choose to

believe it because people love to have
choices.

And we sell choices.

We show people how to live, yo!

Yeah. Who the fuck is this guy?

Chet Davidson, YouTube sensation cum
advertising creative.

BT Dubs, you're my hero, Ruben Guthrie.

You steal my trophy?

Is it broken?

Give me my fucking trophy, Chet.

The stand broke, so I glued it back on,
and I had to wipe a bit of blood to the

base there.

Thanks. Take it.

Ouch. Yeah. Yeah.

Fuck's sake.

That's Chet. Yeah.

Ruby, my boobie. Don't follow me into my
office, Ray. I'll sort Lexus.

Do you want these buttons?

Sweet.

Okay.

I'm going to be honest with you,
Kubrick. All right?

You're the most talented creative
director Pats has ever had. Seriously,

Correct. And don't think for one minute
we don't know it.

Every ad, every campaign that Guth
delivers, it's a game changer.

And we love you for that.

You are a game changer, son, 100%. You
change.

The game. Thanks, Ray. Yeah, okay, but
if you keep wandering around out here in

your teetotaling days of self
-flagellation, then George Pat's Y &R

And if Pat suffers, yeah, it's September
11 type shit. Ray's head.

9 -11 type shit.

So, I suggest you do exactly what we
both know you need to do

to get that mojo back in range.

Because I'm not losing my big fat
Harbour View office just because you had

tips with the supermodel, okay?

You think the only way I can do my job
is drunk, Ray?

Since you've been in the program, your
best ideas have been substandard at

The tamponade pitch with the girl on the
desert island? I mean, sorry, is it

1983 outside?

That was about purity. That was about a
girl searching for purity. You've lost

your fucking edge, boy!

That's cool.

It happens.

Happened to me when I switched to Earl
Grey.

But I'm an executive.

I'm allowed to be earnest.

Okay.

I'll drink the vodka.

Good news.

If you drink it with me.

Why not, Ray?

Because you have a problem with alcohol?

I'm not drinking, right? Not for you.
Not for Pat. Not for anyone. I want to

my fiancé back. That's all I care. Okay,
I can roger that. Now, if you'll excuse

me, I'm going to work on the Lexus
campaign because it's my Lexus campaign.

so long as you're in the right headspace
because if you're not, I know someone

who is.

Ah!

Jet.

My booty.

Hey, uh, my PA has some of the best in
Sydney at the moment.

Let's get together and talk about
ourselves.

Leave me the message and I will
definitely get back to you.

Have a great day, hombre.

Hey. Hey, babe. It's me, Griffin
Guthrie.

Your fiancé.

Yeah, your Prague mobile and your UK
mobile and your Osmobile and your US

are all switched off again. So, um,
yeah.

Hey, I'm in my new AA home group meeting
in Tamarama.

So, it's been over two months since I've
had a drink.

So only ten to go till I come find you
in the snow, babe. No smartphones in

group, please. Sorry. Yeah, see? I've
got to go. I've got to go. I've got to

share. Love you, Zoe. Bye.

Okay,

Tamarama home group.

Let's begin.

My name's Janelle. I'm an alcoholic.

Today we are addressing the oh -so
-popular topic of high school as an

alcoholic. Hey, got a new one. First
guest of.

Hey, Reuben should go.

No, that's all right. Ken, thanks. I can
listen.

Reuben? Reuben, is it? Reuben Guthrie,
ad guy, jumped off the roof, pissed.

Hot girlfriend left.

Thanks, Ken.

Reuben.

Um, yeah. Hi, I'm Reuben Guthrie. Hi,
Reuben. Hi, Reuben. Hi, Reuben.

Hi. Hi.

And, uh, I... Do I need to fill out an
application form for Tamarama Home

or...? That was high school for you,
Reuben.

It's OK.

You're safe here.

Isn't he group?

Yeah. Yeah?

School.

School. School.

School, yeah.

School, school, school.

My parents sent me to a boarding school.

I mean, how hard is it to have one kid
asleep in your house at night? How hard

is that?

Boarding school.

I have to say, I actually wasn't like
this at boarding school.

I had no interest in alcohol at all. I
spent all my money on magazines and

electronics and fashion, mostly.

So, of course, all the rugby guys and
the rowing guys and the wrestling guys,

they'd come in at night and they'd...

pin me down and get it out of the
system, you know, the rage, you know.

Nice shoes, faggot.

He's got moose in his hair. Let's put
moose in his anus.

And then this guy, Corey, joined the
school. All that went away.

Corey was, he was bigger than me. He was
older than me and he was so much cooler

than me.

Drove a black Suzuki Vitara.

And he had five earrings and he had the
word FARC tattooed inside his lip. It

was amazing.

And to this day, I don't know why he
chose me, but he did.

The first day he arrived, he saw what it
was like for me in that place. And he

just made it go away.

He protected me. And I'd tell him my
thoughts on things and story ideas.

Yeah, we were inseparable. We were
really close.

And then he repeated year 12.

And then he got kicked out.

And so his dad got him a job in a
factory bending corrugated iron.

But by that time he was pretty deep into
drugs. And not good drugs.

We never lost contact. We just lost
flow.

He called me one night at college and he
said he needed a real mate

and that I was the only real mate that
he'd ever had.

And he was crying on the phone and I'd
never heard Corey cry before. I'd never

imagined Corey could cry.

There was a party on at our house at
college that night, a big party.

Damien and my lip -sync band were
playing.

So, you know, I told him I'd call him
the next day and we'd have a big chat.

You know, I told him to not look into
things so much, you know, to chill out.

I said, chill out.

And I laughed and hung up.

And they found him.

In his dad's boat, in the garage.

And he was...

From then on, I started to like drinks a
lot.

Just like the taste of them in my mouth,
you know, and the burn in my ribs and

the zing and the jolt of the alcohol in
my blood and brain.

I thought, well, if he's gone, then I'll
just drink and

drink and drink and drink and drink.

Ruben? Ruben!

Mum, how did you know I was here?

I called the office.

Ray told me to try all the AA meetings
in the eastern suburbs. How many did you

try? All of them. Then he hung up on me.
What is going on?

Why do you have a thermos? I have a
rental car for you.

Mum, where are we going?

To the restaurant.

Come on.

Your dad's left.

Left?

He moved out with the Korean kitchen
hands at the restaurant.

Who?

Soon -Yi.

Soon -Yi? The Korean... The one that
sings?

Comes home this morning. I haven't seen
him for two days. He says, you take the

house, I'll take the car.

The car!

The cat is back.

Bruce and Margaret are mining it for
them until they get back from Aspen.

I hate cats.

I hate cats.

Everyone with a cat says, oh, my cat's
so great, it's just like a dog. Well,

don't they buy a fucking dog?

People with dogs don't go, oh, my dog's
so great, it's like a cat, do they?

Do they?

Meow! Meow!

Want wine?

Uh, no, no thanks.

Red wine?

No. Icing cold beer?

Just some mineral water, if you don't
mind getting it.

It's a 30 -degree day. Sun Yee's
marinating prawns for you and you want

Yeah, yeah.

Water.

Turns the palace.

Good thought.

Sun Yee!

Get Reuben a glass of water, will ya?

Is Sun Yee working the floor now?

Yeah.

Not bad for a new Australian.

Speaking of, where's Zoya?

She left me, Dad.

Who left you? Zoya left me because of my
problem with alcohol.

She drinks?

I've seen her drink.

Always enjoyed a nice little drink when
I offered her one.

Thanks, Signe.

Amazing rapport.

What? You and the lady?

Incredible banter. Wow.

We have our ways.

How's your mother?

She's dead.

What?

She's not. Why don't you give her a ring
and find out, Dad?

Why are you being such a cocksmoker? How
do you think she is, Dad? One minute

you're living in the house, the next
minute you've moved out with the Korean

chick from the restaurant.

Don't talk about son. He likes his...
Likes his what?

How's your aunt?

It's great, thanks, Daddy.

Thanks for asking.

Let's get pissed and catch up, then.

Dad, water's all I need. I'm fine.

I'll get it in. No!

Blast!

Just enjoying each other's company,
trying to bond with my bloody

son, who I'm proud of.

I might mute the bloody ads, but I'm
proud of you.

Dad, what are you doing?

We're on the deck of the...

The restaurant. It's a beautiful sunny
day in Sydney. No, you're not listening

to me, Dad.

Mum doesn't know what happened. Mum
doesn't know why you left her.

She'll work it out.

Well, she's on the jetty right now, Dad,
and she's hiding and she's scared.

Yeah. Yeah.

Well... Well.

We should go away together again, you
and I.

Wine tasting in the Baratta Valley.

I'll fucking fly us over there. All
expenses on me.

Woo -hoo!

Where are you going?

Sonia is doing up the prawns for you.

Where are you going?

Son, prawns.

G'day, Cliff.

Step three, made a decision to turn our
will and our lives over to the care of

God as we understood him.

Practising step three is like the
opening of a door which to all

still closed and locked. All we need is
a key and the decision to swing the door

open.

There is only one key and it is called
willingness.

Once unlocked by willingness, the door
opens almost by itself and looking

through it, we shall see a pathway. It
reads, this is the way to a faith that

works.

In the first two steps, we were engaged
in reflection. We saw that we were

powerless over alcohol.

but we also perceive that faith of some
kind, if only in AA itself, is possible

to anyone.

These conclusions did not require
action, they required only acceptance.

Like all the remaining steps, step three
calls for affirmative action, for it is

only by action that we can cut away the
self -will which has always blocked the

entry of God for, if you like, a higher
power into our lives.

Yeah.

Is that Epsom?

Yeah. Isn't it amazing?

Yeah.

Are you going to be great?

Hey, Ruben Gubbery. How are you, mate?
Good, good, man. Dimitri.

Yeah, Dimitri, yeah. Yeah, no, good,
thanks, yeah. I tell you what, very

you're doing another ad campaign for us.
Oh, well, you know, you're our luxury

brand. Water?

No, no. OJ?

All good. Beer? Thank you, no. Vodka?
No, no, no. Thanks, too early.

So, F4, talk to me. Oui, monsieur.

F as in?

F and fast.

V8, 0 to 100 in, hang on, 1, 2, 3, 4,
now.

Right, all right, well, could you point
me in the direction? Thank you so much

for coming to our Christmas party. I am
still recovering.

I don't know how you're still alive.

Laura, you remember Laura?

She remembers you.

Married now. Show him the... Yeah,
actually, I'm looking for my mother,

Have you seen her, or...? Darling!

The car reads out the text messages for
you. In American!

This is the guy that you should be
driving, my bro. The Lexus RC Coupe two

sport.

Exhilaration isn't manufactured, it's
engineered.

Uh, that would be a no.

Yeah, I lost my license.

Three cars...

All right.

I'll see you soon, Reuben.

Yeah, who can tell?

Yep.

Hey, you there at the sun You're not
gonna see anyone

Lost my nerve, I didn't know what to say
A week just now, you're gone

away

Zoya, me calling again.

Hey, your message says that you will
definitely call back. You might want to

look at that.

Or just call back.

Leave the message how it is.

You hear that sound, babe?

That sound is possibly the world's
greatest ever lemon -lime bitters ever

What do you think, babe?

Maybe they don't have mobile range in
Czechoslovakia.

Czech Republic.

I'm working so hard on myself. The least
you can do is pick up the phone.

Oh, you were an awful drunk.

Mum, don't. At your Nana's 80th, when
you pissed in the restaurant plants.

do we have to go into this now? You
shoved your pubic hair in Auntie Gail's

face. I was comparing her mohair scarf
to my pubic... Last Christmas day, when

you dropped poor little Dorian on his
head. I've been with Dad all day.

That fool.

It takes two generations to clear
alcohol out of a family line, Reuben.

know that?

I didn't. You're doing a good thing for
your kids.

I'm just taking it one day at a time,
Mum. I know, but if you keep doing that

for a few years or forever... Mum, the
thing is, one day at a time. I don't

think that's particularly ambitious, do
you? One day at a time?

Why don't I move in with you?

We've both been abandoned.

And I could help you with the house.

I went to this touching yesterday's pain
meeting last night,

right? And I started talking about how
alcohol's genetic, like inherited.

And I'm sitting there thinking, yeah,
yeah, obviously.

Obviously. You know, but I sat there
wondering if what you inherit is this

disease, this chemical imbalance that
creates a need for the substance. If

as simple as that, just inheriting a
disease. Or is what you're inheriting

deeper than that?

Are you actually inheriting generations
of pain or shame or insecurity or

shyness or guilt? Is that what it is? A
genetic illness.

When you pass down this black emotional
package, you have no choice but to

accept it's all your parents' guilt and
everything your parents failed or were

unable.

Oh, yum.

Taiwanese. Yeah.

Where did you learn to make this from
scratch?

India. Are you sure you're not going to
eat any?

Oh, no.

I picked heaps when we were cooking it.
I'm just having a try.

I mean, I've got this whole kitchen
here. I never cook. This is amazing.

It is a waste.

Yeah.

I'll just get you here every night.

Okay.

So good in the program for a newcomer. I
don't really share very much. I think

in like 18 months or two years, you
could run your own home group, I reckon,

with me. I only need to do a year.

What do you mean? Why just a year?

Oh, no. Sobriety is a journey. It's not
a destination.

No, yeah, I know. I know.

Totally. Yes.

So Ken was telling me that you've been
quite supportive

with quite a few of the new guys to the
program.

A bit.

Are you crying?

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry, I'm sorry.

No, I'm sorry.

Sorry, I've been evicted.

Huh? I've been evicted.

Lock down my building and turn it into a
Dan Murphy liquor warehouse and I've

got nowhere to go.

Trust Uncle Ray, he'll never lead you
astray. Up to the right, to the right,

the right, to the right. Whoa!

Hold your horses. Ray, really?

Really?

game for you? I told you I don't want to
make booze ads anymore. It's not booze.

It's horses.

Royal Rambic Racecourse are relaunching
Spring Carnival with a champagne tent

and sexy times for the A -list kids to
kick along to in a mid -year Saturday

Arvo. And who better to sell the races
as cool than... Me?

You mean the guy who's won you best ad
four years in a row? There must be

someone here who's better for an A -list
campaign like this. There's no one

better than you.

Black caviar.

Oh, and Alexis, love.

The iPhone mum, convertible driving,
video selfie ad.

Love it. Thank you.

One catch.

What up?

Don't you fucking dare.

They want to know what the Chetstar has
to offer on the pitch as well.

Boobie, my boobie.

I'm off to lunch at the Royal Randwick
now.

Stables bar. You want to come with?
Yeah.

No.

What kind of lunch? Research, baby.

Research. You may want to check the
drinks menu, though. I'm not 100 % sure

serve lemon lime and bitters.

Oh, look.

Here's a tissue for your ear issue.

That was a good score.

Hit it.

It's a rumble in the jungle.

But my money's on the people, champion.

I, of course, want you to be a winner.

Celebrate life.

And find a wife.

Be a winner.

And a grinner.

Have it as you can do. You can lead a
horse to Randwick, but you can't...

Bubble.

Royal Randwick brings you a bubble.

Spring carnival.

Yeah, now you're talking my language.

Don't you?

See, love?

I know, right? What the fuck?

What the fuck?

Hey, now, just before we unfurl, may I
dot my gay ass down at yours for a

of words? Yeah, of course, man. Totally,
totally. What are you doing in Sydney?

I will explain. First, I just need to
fix me a tall glass of something

flammable.

Okay, dry white wine is one thing.

A draw war war. Dry white wine. I'm
saying white wine.

It is only morning time.

I'm off the source, man.

No, no more booze, Damien, seriously.
Oh, is this the anorexic Czechoslovakian

talking to you again?

No, it's off my own bat. Yeah, well, you
get off tomorrow, because for now,

we're going to get cunted old style.

Damien, Damien, Damien.

I'm seriously sober.

Ruben, Ruben, I love you.

And I haven't seen you in the longest
time.

And I love you.

Don't tell me that I can't express my
love to you in the way that we know

Hmm?

Yeah, baby.

Come on, baby.

What booze did you get?

Judy Freeman, Sancerre, vodka.

Saps.

Single malt Glenfiddich.

A filthy French red.

I have a meeting. Meeting?

What?

Step. Stroke meeting.

Stroke meeting. Kayak.

I'm meeting kayak.

I'm going to talk to kayak.

Kayak. Don't tell me you're sitting in a
circle.

No.

Are you?

Yes, I am. Okay? Do you love? And I
really like it.

Christian, come on.

Don't call them that. They fucking save
lives, man.

Have you read A Million Little Pieces?
What are you doing back? Five minutes

ago, we had a going away party for you.
What happened to the New York job of a

lifetime? You have a glass with me and
I'll talk about it. I haven't eaten. One

drink and I will talk about it. Go on
swimming.

Ruben, look who's back.

Well, didn't you hear me? I'm not
drinking.

One drink.

Dear love, you know what's going to
happen. We don't have to have ten. Just

one. When do we ever just have one?
Okay, let's have ten. I'm off.

One. Have a fucking glass!

Have a glass!

Have that for a glass, you fucking
faggot!

Don't needle me.

Okay?

Sorry.

My visa was revoked.

His wife found out.

Hey, it's so good to see you again.

Mr. Reuben Guthrie.

Can I stay here with you?

All these pretty shiny bottles.

All right.

Oh.

So you live on the water, but you never
go in the water.

Yeah, I saw George when I was five, and
I've never recovered.

That's beautiful.

Yeah.

So, listen, move in with me.

What? Really? No.

No. I'm clean. Okay, happy. I'm not
asking you. I'm telling you.

Move into my house now It's jeopardizing
the

program protocol

Fucking hippies.

Well, that's why you have balance.

I don't have any balance.

Hey,

man, you missed the most amazing day.

It's gorgeous out there.

Yeah, it was incredible.

Parlor boarding's hard, but it's
actually not as hard as you think that

He's really good.

Not as good as her, but you would
actually love it. Like, you would

love it.

Hey, how about a refreshing Roy Boss
iced tea, Ruben?

Yum. Yeah.

Yeah, thanks. I'll just... I think I'll
have a shower first.

I'm fine for three bottles of iced tea.
Thanks, Virginia. Bebs?

Would you mind smoking outside?

Ruben and I always smoke inside.

Well, things are just a little bit
different now.

Ruben's allowed me to transform his
environment, and I think you should

his growth.

I'd love to respect his growth.

I smoke too, Damien, just not inside.

So can we lock that in for a house rule?
Are you good for that?

You think you're here to stay, don't
you?

But I'll tell you this from any
distance.

Reuben loves a phase.

And you, crap tits, you're just another
phase.

Okay?

With you.

Round one.

Fight!

You want to jump in the ring with me,
baby?

I want to punch your fucking face in.

Right.

I can't tell you what angle Chet's going
for on the down low.

It's hardly Muhammad Ali, but it does
pack a punch.

You've been like a dad to me, Ray.

What? You taught me everything I know.

What? Oh, no, no, no. Don't you fuck
with me, Tyson. But where I'm at now,

the meeting... No! Yes, Ray.

Yes.

Do you know, I never thought I'd see the
day when a bloke as smart as you fell

for the poor me Christian trick.

The movement is not a trick, Ray. The
movement?

Fucking wake up, Mozart!

They prey on guys like you.

They turn your love of the booze into a
love of talking about yourself. I can't

make ads anymore, Ray.

Capitalism. Please, do you want some
time off? A month?

Do you know what? Take two months off.

Paid. Paid? I quit, Ray. I quit.

Sobriety first.

Deal with your past, Ray.

For your own safety, get the fuck out of
the building. It'll eat away at you.

Get away from me.

What happened to that kid you ran over?

Huh?

Fuck off!

Call your son, Ray.

Now!

You said you were just about to. It's
okay, pumpkin. You're going to make me

come thousands of times.

Was that too full on?

Am I being too full on?

No, I... I only came because you said.

You said now, now, now.

I feel... Breathe.

This is... This is... It's just... I
thought that I was ready for sex, and

I'm not, and it's triggering panic in
me.

We've been fucking every day for like a
month. This is very personal to me,

okay? This is not just fucking, okay?

Okay. Sorry.

Oh, that's Zoya's tissue.

May I?

Sure.

Do you think of Zoya when we're fucking?

Honestly.

Well, now that you're wearing her T
-shirt, I'm thinking about her, but...

know, Zoya and I... It wasn't always
about sex.

You know, by the end... So what you're
saying is you didn't get connected with

her sexually like we do?

Yeah, I'll go.

No, no, no. I didn't mean go.

I just... Zoya, she put up with me for
years while I was a monster.

And I'm always going to love and respect
her for that.

But she never wanted to know me like you
do.

I mean, you even like what's wrong with
me.

I feel like we've found each other.

Yeah.

Ruben. It's okay. If you don't want to
have sex, that's fine.

I don't want to trigger anything in you.
I can't be here in this space anymore.

What do you mean? I thought... I can't.
Not with Damien.

He drinks all day and he has a pipe.

I can't be around that.

He's my best friend.

Hey.

Virginia, what are you doing?

I'm going to go to a meeting because I
feel unhinged and discombobulated.

Big couch.

Woo -hoo, hot doggy. Where's Virginia?

She's in the shower.

Loves the showers, that one.

Does she know there's restrictions?

So, um, how's their job hunting going,
Peter?

I started looking online, but then I
just ended up on Grindr again. There's

much incredible cock in Sydney.

Is that...

Is this Californian Zinfandel from my
cellar? Ginny had told me to get rid of

all your bottles.

She said that it was potentially
dangerous for you to be surrounded by

demons in your sanctuary.

Hey.

Hi, Damien. Oh, hi, Vagina. How are you?
I'm so great. How are you?

Fantastic. Oh, that's fantastic.

Wow.

Okay. Woo -hoo.

Hi. Yeah.

Reuben, have you spoken to Damien about
that thing?

Oh, yeah.

Text me, huh?

Spoken to me about what thing? How those
sausages looking, man? Yeah, good.

Good. Pork and fennel. Fat one.

I don't eat sausages.

Not what I hear.

OK, I'll do it.

Um, Reuben and I were talking about jobs
and living, and we thought... What do

you do, Virginia?

Apart from swipe the organic credit
card. Oh, that's right. You just do the

meetings. Do you get commission on
recruitments?

Have you ever taken the quiz on the
Alcoholics Anonymous website, Damien?

There are ten questions, and if you
answer yes to four of them, you're an

alcoholic. Four? Yeah, just four.

You guys low on attendance?

No. It's just an honesty test.

I got nine, then.

We think that you are really sick and
we're worried about you.

Have you ever fucked on E, Virginia?

It's so... You just feel everything.

What's it like fucking on heroin?

Or too sleepy?

I'm going to go have another shower.

Yeah. Yeah, you go and get nice and
clean.

She's not a smack addict, man. She is a
shower addict. She should go to shower.

Showers Anonymous. Why are you treating
her like that?

I didn't mean to offend her, okay? If it
wasn't so much fun, I'd stop. Her

childhood is a litany of strange men at
barbecues. She's had relatives put

remote controls inside her.

I'm trying to help her reach out.

Well, she's reaching out, all right, all
the way down to your cock.

Well, there's someone else in the spare
room. Where else is she going to sleep?

Ruben, just admit that she's fucking the
shit out of you every night.

Okay, you think I can't hear it thumping
through the walls? A thunderous

symphony of two people who are so
frustrated that they can't get messed up

they're taking it out on the mattress.

Oh, Rumi, I'm sober. Oh, fuck, I wish I
could drink 14 vodkas and shoot up. Show

me. It's companionship. That's all it
is.

Do you think your fiancé would see it
that way?

All right, Virginia and I have decided
that you can stay in the house and not

drink or leave the house and continue to
drink.

Why is that funny?

Oh, she's 13th stepped you, man. No, she
hasn't.

What does that mean?

She's made you need her like a step the
way you need all the other steps. That's

not accurate.

You poor 13th step little faggot. I
think you should go now.

Reuben, I'm your best friend. She is
you. Please leave. Why are you doing

to me? Because you and I are not the
same. All right?

Get the fuck out of my house.

So she said, wait until the other boobs
drop.

Peter, Peter. What, Harry?

Ruben's here, your son.

Right.

I'll be back.

Mineral water good?

The best. You said there was something
pressing you had to tell me.

We used to have a hell of a time.

Talking about white wine, compared red.
Sad, sad.

My sponsor at the movement.

At the movement.

Who are you?

Che Guevara.

Virginia, they've told me.

If you're going to get religious, think
about this.

Jesus Christ himself was a wine man.

He took water.

What you're drinking there, and he turns
it into wine. What I'm drinking here...

Why won't you respect my position?

Because you're my son.

You're not some league player who gets
pissed and rates a 14 -year -old in a

bloody car park.

He's just a normal guy who likes a
normal couple of drinks. Dad, I can't

in this environment. Please.

Please.

Stay. Son.

It's just that I'm very stressed at the
moment.

What would work and the pancreatitis.

Pancreatitis? What?

Yeah, pancreatitis.

An inflammation of the pancreas.

Yeah, not good.

And mine is apparently acute and
friggin' chronic or

some other. When did you start feeling
pain?

Oh, a couple of years ago.

Why didn't you go to a doctor?

I went last week, and so better you,
Reuben, when you're 40, get your fucking

test done. Don't be an idiot and leave
it till it's too late, all right? Okay,

okay.

But that isn't pancreatitis to do with
excessive drinking.

Trauma.

Stress and trauma.

You've got no idea what it's like
running restaurants.

Fucking hat restaurants.

Are you going to die?

try and get back to you.

Have a great day, hombre.

Uh, dad's sick.

Zoya?

Dad, um... Zoya, dad might...

You know what?

Fuck you. I'm not sharing this with you.
I fucking financed you for six years.

I took you to the party.

Hey, meet this hot new photographer.

Meet this designer. Here, let me give
you a work visa.

No problem. Oh, who wants rent -free
waterfront accommodation?

And now look at you.

Fucking as soon as things get a bit
messy, as soon as the situation isn't

perfect for Prague's favourite little
leggy princess, fly off back home, back

mummy.

If you were here right now, I wouldn't
take a photo of you on my phone.

Easy explanations, you know they don't
exist.

Seems a wealth of complications that I
first could not admit.

I don't have the answer, I just know how
I feel.

If I could help myself, you know I
would.

They say it seems unreal, I'm still in
love.

And the winner is... Stephen Timney
Festival, Nubengar 3!

There were drunken conversations and
tears of the dark

And a string of exclamations that I'd
overcome the

part I know that it's not right or
wrong, it's just the way

it is I can't lie to you and fool myself
I know I

should admit I'm still in love with you
I'm still that same

old fool cried an ocean just for you
sailed away out

on the blue please

I know it's true.

Are you really?

Exhausted?

I'm starving.

Again, are you starving or are you just
a bit hungry?

Is everything okay, baby?

I don't know.

I've been to a meeting almost a week.

Well,

I'm your meeting.

Step 13.

What?

How much does all this fucking food
cost? You know I'm not working anymore,

don't you? I mean, what... is that
what's that what's in your hand what's

it's almond butter oh wow almond almond
butter okay almonds have

become butter now i'm gonna go have a
shower because i'm covered in

thoughts

Holy shit.

Is that you?

I got a voice message from you. Did you?

I must say, I'm amazed.

One could have assumed they'd flown off
into some void.

Some Czech Republic abyss. Shut up,
fuckhead. Okay.

So you heard me.

You came to see me.

And the agency has some shoots for me to
do.

Did you come here for me or for the
shoots?

I don't know you, amigo.

A couch? Wow.

I asked you to buy a couch for five
years only.

Yeah, well, you know, I thought it's
about time I heard you.

Is your dad okay?

He's not dead yet, is he? No, he's not
dead. So he's not dying?

He's down disappointed.

No, I... Ruben, your wife's male.

Did you miss me?

While you were gone.

I did not miss you, no.

I was so young when you found me.

I was 16, stupid naive girl.

I felt so flattered that this ultra
amazing successful guy had chosen me.

I never complained about the marks on
your neck, coming home AM, the weird

things you said to me in bed at night.
Oh yeah.

But then I'm in the snow at home and I
think, you're so brave to

give up drinking in this alcoholic
country with this father, these

friends.

No, I miss you so much.

If you hurt me again.

I couldn't if I tried.

What was that noise? There is a
restaurant up the hill.

You need to see it.

Ruben, who's in the show?

Let's jog there. Let's jog. I'll race
you. I'll race you. Come on. Come with

Have I got a pimple on my back?

Who are you?

Hello.

Virginia.

And you?

I just said you would be.

Virginia's landlord kicked her out and
since then I've just been putting her

Putting me up?

Zoya and I are just going for a jog.

Zoya, Zoya?

Yes, my name is Zoya.

Ruben's fiance.

Excuse me?

She... We... She... We... Ruben, I think
that it's important that

Zoya learns of all the changes to the
key relationships.

Yes, Ruben.

I want to learn of the key changes.

I'm just going to go put some clothes
on, okay?

Make yourself at home.

This is my home. Exactly.

As my sponsor, she has been really
supportive.

To your penis muscles?

If maybe you'd called me once in a
fucking lifetime, none of this would

happened. But it did happen, didn't it?

Because you can't stand a minute without
being adored. She knew that. Why the

fuck did you leave me on my own? Because
I wanted you to see what it is like to

be in this house with you and all your
bottles and feel completely alone.

Ha.

Men.

You just wave suicide around like it's
one of your ads.

You think it gives you edge, don't you?

You're a fraud, Ruben.

It's so clear to me now.

Ruben and I are deeply connected, both
inside and outside of the program.

What? Reuben was open enough to tell me
that he's never actually connected

sexually with anyone like this prior to
me. Oh, wow.

And I think that this previous lack of
intimacy is a large contributor to his

substance abuse triggers.

You know what?

I will have my T -shirt back, actually.
No, you're not fucking... Don't touch

me!

You don't fucking touch me.

You can take the shirt, but you can't
take my husband.

This is not a moment in my life where I
feel proud.

Just putting that out there.

You know?

You too.

I don't think I'm one of you, Virginia.

I never have.

I'm really glad I don't drink now, and
I've loved talking, but I don't have to

design my whole life around not shooting
a horse into my eyeball.

At a bad time, I got carried away.

It's not pathological for me.

All alcoholics use traumatic experiences
to deem themselves powerless to

alcohol.

What?

You are using Zoya and I to validate
your desire to start drinking again.

I'm not going to let you enable from
this.

Not you.

Not Reuben Guthrie.

Ruben, don't drink, mate.

You don't need alcohol.

Why, Ken? Why don't I?

Because you've already got the
personality of 25 men.

You don't need it.

And you have the heart of 45 men, Ken.

And I look like I've eaten 55 men,
Ruben.

Ruben. Zoya called me from the airport.

You know, she brought a flight home for
you with her, too.

Far.

Full class.

But, like all men, you thought you could
live two lives at once.

What? Yes or no?

Mum, what the hell are you... Blair
Valley Riesling. Just a little glass of

with you, Mum.

Then a glass of water. Mum, hang on,
hang on, hang on, hang on.

You were the one who took me to my first
meeting.

You. And now you're enabling me.

Why are you enabling me? You sit down.
Now.

Now.

Don't make a scene in front of the
clientele.

You drank a little too much.

certain point in your life, so you put
yourself through a process, and that was

so brave, and you've recovered.

Now it's time to re -enter society and
drink rationally.

But Mum, I can't drink rationally. These
meetings, they fill your head with so

much hogwash. You come home blaming your
parents for all sorts of things. Mum,

if I have one glass of wine, it all
starts again.

No, it doesn't.

How doesn't it?

Don't do it.

Just don't let it.

Mum, you need to face the fact.

I am... No.

I am... No. I am an outcast.

No son of mine is one of them. Not in my
lifetime.

No.

Don't.

Don't do this to me.

I'm in such good shape. I like myself.

One more week, and I'm sober for a whole
year.

Your father and I decided, enough of
these meetings. We want our son back

Yeah, and by the way, when did you and
Dad start talking?

Since Peter moved back in and I started
working here.

Do you have any self -respect?

Well, she wasn't going to look after
him, was she? Oh, Mom. He's a sick man.

Yeah, you got that right. Reuben, he
left you.

Well, why wouldn't he? I'm old. I look
old. I sound old.

And I don't feel so sexual anymore, and
your father likes that. Mom.

Age has spikes, Reuben.

Now, a little glass of wine and then a
glass of water.

Your father drank himself into oblivion.
And then Dad.

Don't you remember the night?

You're not them, son.

You're different.

You're Reuben Guthrie.

Reuben Guthrie.

Feel.

Big.

Skin.

Can't sit.

Women don't like poetry.

Reuben, we like story.

Character -driven story.

Come on, baby boy.

I'm shaking so get ready to start.

Wonderful day.

Dark horses, small women.

Thank you, son. Oh,

there she is. Nice ride, Mrs. G.

Hey. Thanks, son.

Bye, son.

Friday. You two boys were wonderful
today.

Strong.

But you had plenty to drink. Now it's
time to go home, have a glass of water,

and then bed.

A glass of water, and then bed.

Enough is enough.

Is enough, is enough, is enough.

Everything in moderation.

Frequently.

You want

to drink some whiskey?

I have a simple observation to make to
all of them. They can get stuffed. It

won't, will not happen. If they think
this is about.

Their tenure doesn't give them automatic
entitlement to say what they like in

defiance of all the facts and all the
substance.

Are you ready?

Make me feel so nice.

You're my one true.

Dirty.

Welcome back, Mr. Guthrie.

Good morning ladies and gentlemen, my
name is Captain Mike Galvin and on

of Qantas I'd like to welcome you aboard
our Qantas flight today.

We've got fantastic flying conditions
today, once the recovery is level...
