It's a little bit pokey for my liking.

MEL: Look, come on, it's boiling in here.

I'm dying.

Mikey says he knows where there's a pool.

You're all hot and bothered.- No way!

MEL: Let's get you wet.

Come on, let go and get wet.

JACK: Look, Mel, I'm a responsible citizen.

Hey, Mikey how about some music?

I'll check it out.

MEL: Yeah!

Ah!

You look terrible JJ.

All tight and antsy.

It's time for you to pop, Jack.

You are so ready.

Come on.

You left us in the middle of a tour, Jack.

You shot through.

We had gigs.

I told you to cancel them.

It's not that easy, mate.

We had commitments.

Contracts.

It's for you to pop, Jack.

JACK: I had to leave.

We were killing each other.

MEL: That's it Jack.

Take some more.

Let it go.

Let it out.

One of us would be dead by now!

That's it Jack, come on.

Tell me how you feel?

Why didn't you tell me you're throwing me out?

Oh, yeah, like you told us!

See, you do want to get even!

No, I want you to heal!

You can't just take my nameand give it to someone else!

I deserve to be respected!

[alarm siren]

JACK: Melvin was in my band.

He wanted to come for a swim, so we came here,

and things just got a little bit out of hand.

You've been drinking?

No, I haven't even got that as an excuse.

HUGH: What's with the chairs in the pool?

Oh, it was therapy Sergeant.

Therapy?

JJ has got a lot of anger,and he needs to let it out.

He can't pop till he does.

Pop, as in POP?

Yeah, you heard of it?

Yeah.

Yeah.

Yeah, I'm familiar with it.

MEL: Well, it can help.

Yeah.

And you reckon Jack needs to--

Yes, I do.

Guys, can we just move on here?

Look I will pay for all thedamage, so can we, we go now?

Not until you've cleanedup the pool, you can't.

Ah!

It's just like old times, hey, Jack.

TOBY: Yeah.

He's been in a coma for years, but it's

still going to be a shock.

TOBY: Well, I'm not telling her.

It's not my job.

JESS: I know, but we don'twant to tell her over the phone

either.

What does she thinkyou're doing for her, Jess?

Chucking her a party or something, huh?

No, she knows something's wrong.

We just told her that it wasimportant for her to be here.

Please, Tobes it would really help us out.

Yeah, OK.

Hey, thanks.

I owe ya.

TOBY: Yeah.

[music playing]

Me, I don't really mind the heat,

but it's the farmers you worry about, isn't it?

I just had the air conditionerfixed, so we should be fine.

Very spacious.

Three bedrooms and a greatbig yard for the kids.

PATRICK: Uh, they don't have any kids.

You don't have kids, do you?

Yeah, high maintenance.

And then there's the pool.

I don't know if you're into pools,

but they've even got thechlorine and some houses they

they sell a little bitcheaper because someone's

been killed in them.

But, um, no one's been killedin this house as far as I know.

Going well.

[music playing]

MICHAEL: Jack, is this yours?

I found it under the fridge.

JACK: Ever since I was 18years old I was JJ Night.

I'll have no name.

You'll be Kumanjayi.

Yeah, yeah, come on, sure.

I'm really interested in music.

Maybe as a career one day.

[music playing]

We're pretty much the premiertouring company in Alice now.

So Mike and I are pretty chuffedwith ourselves, you know.

Starting from scratch,and then we're at a point

now where we're probably looking to buy

a new vehicle in maybe the next six months

and expand the business.

Could we just turn off here?

I need a toilet stop.

Yeah, sure.

[music playing]

PATRICK: You're gonna get in trouble.

You're just jealous.

[door closing]

What's that?

- Pat you're not funny. - No.

No. Really.

Really.

Can't you just let me relax, please?

PATRICK: There's someone there.

His dead, isn't he?

Yeah.

[music playing]

NATALIE: I think I'mpretty mature, don't you?

JESS: Not always.

NATALIE: I've got a good head on my shoulders.

I always tell you whenyou're acting like an idiot.

Always.

I should be able to be friendswith a guy like an adult.

What happened?

When I like a guy why doI always have to kiss him?

What does it mean?

It's like it's out of my control.

Who'd you kiss?

I can't.

Oh, yeah, you can.

Who?

Matt.

Why?

I think I kissed him because I could.

That is so weird.

[music playing]

JESS: Hey.

MATT: Hey.

JESS: You feeling all right?

MATT: Yeah.

Not, uh, coming down with anything?

Like what?

Like what Nat had.

What did she tell you?

Gotta go.

What did she tell you?

Gotta go.

Jess.

[music playing]

JACK: I've signed your bit of paper, Melvin.

So just pop off somewhere else.

Nah, too much fun.

Think I might even look into some real estate.

Yeah, well, I'm getting bored.

That's not surprising.

You're pretending to be someone you're not.

JACK: That's hilarious coming from you.

You know, you say you've popped,but I don't see any change.

Same old moves.

Same old jokes. MEL: Look at you?

You gave up.

You ran away.

No, I answered a call, and I came here.

Oh, really, would you pour usanother beer, please rock star.

You're lying to yourself.

Yeah, well, you're lying to everyone else.

MEL: No, I've been completelyhonest since the moment

I arrived.

You are a liar.

Oh. Haa!

Haa!

Yeah!

Get out of my pub!

I came here looking for a life that was more

stuffed up than my own.

You know what?

I found one.

MICHAEL: Hey, guys!

MEL: $28,000.00!

No months on a couch.

I can finally talk to my mother.

And after two days with you,I'm back to where I started!

Hey, stop it, you two.

Come on, guys!

Are you popped enough?

I'll pop you.

Oh, man we were right tofight about that piece of crap.

We were young.

Wasn't all bad, hey.

No.

Mel, a lot of it was great.

Yeah.

Well, I'm sorry abouthassling you about popping.

It's good that you're doingsomething to improve yourself.

Thanks.

And I'm sorry I left youin the lurch in Adelaide.

I'm sorry I replaced you without that asking.

Nah, that's all right.

Part of me is just jealous, that's all.

A little bit of me still wantsto be doing what you're doing.

Part of me wishes I could stop.

Ah!

It'll be great.

Not quite as successful, but it will be great.

Well, you know if you wantedto, you could always, uh.

Yeah?

No, no thanks, Mel.

We'd probably end up killing each other.

Yeah, probably.

[music playing]

Hello, my name's Helen Gregory.

Hi, that's great.

I think it's perfect for you.

Do you?

Yeah, bedrooms for the kids.

It's near the school.

Near the shops.

Yeah.

And the price for AliceSprings is very reasonable.

OK, well, we'll think about it.

OK.

A very famous rock star had,um, made love in this house.

A rock star?

Yeah.

Not, not with me.

But, um, why, I don't know who he did it with,

but I know that he did it.

What rock star?

Ah, you probably haven't heard of him.

Melvin Night.

Oh, from JJ Night.

From JJ Night.

That's right

Really?

[music playing]

That's my son.

MICHAEL: Interesting weekend.

Hey, guess what?

I sold a house.

I didn't know we booked a band tonight.

Good man, Mikey.

Cheers, mate.

Come on.

To JJ, may he rest in peace.

Here's to Jack.

I'm setting up a meetingfor them in Sydney.

See if I can get them a gig.

Oh, cool.

[music playing]

They're good.

There seems to be a patrolcar cruising my street, lately.

You wouldn't know anything about that?

Maybe.

I've got my bars.

I'm OK.

One of the boys was looking a bit bored,

so I sent him around there, that's all.

Isn't that a misuse of police resources?

Assisting a beautiful womanto get a decent night's sleep.

I don't think so.

So you still dance with married women?

I don't dance at all.

You know that.

You do tonight.

Oh, what better than that.

[music playing]

Hey, hi.

Good day.

- How you feeling? - Good.

Better. Fine.

You? - Oh, yeah, I'm fine.
