(Insects chirp)

The mangroves are kind of like
the nursery of the tropics.

Lots of animals, birds, lizards,
fish come here to breed.

With a bit of luck, we might
get to meet our guest of honour.

She's come up here
every couple of years to breed

for the last
quarter of a century.

But, you see, males never get up
this far, so the eggs never hatch.

It's a bit sad, but, uh...

Neville, we've never
been able to budge her.

Look! There!

Sonny: Oh!

Isn't she a beauty?

(Camera clicks)
Hey, hey. I told you, no flash.

You'll bring her over here.

(Limbo music plays)

(Cheering and applause)

(Speaks inaudibly)

There he goes again.
Hm?

Gus. Baffling another unsuspecting
backpacker with science.

Well, she's still sitting there.
That's a good sign.

Or a sign
she doesn't speak English.

Now, I am gonna be
thinking of you relaxing

while I'm giving
my lecture tomorrow.

You don't mind me
taking the day off?

You are so overdue for a break.

And he is gonna have to learn to
stand on his own two feet sometime.

Yeah, well, standing isn't his
problem. Or bending, apparently.

(Cheering and applause)

No-one is that flexible.

He is gonna be
in a world of pain tomorrow.

Maybe you can take
party boy back with you.

Demand they exchange him
for one that works.

Hmm.

(Gentle, exotic music)

Good morning.

Good swim?
Oh, you know. Same-same.

You off to the mainland today?

Yeah, well, I don't really
have a choice.

- We need a new motor for the runabout.
- Yeah.

Worthwhile, I suppose.

Hey.

Get in there, knock 'em dead,
get the money. (Laughs)

(News theme plays)

Woman: I'm speaking with
associate Professor Malcolm Reid...

Mum.

..From the University's
venom research unit,

who's involved in a study...

- Mum!
- Yep.

Our study's authorized to

tag and track crocodiles
throughout the reef area.

And whilst croc venom
is yet to be confirmed,

they do have particularly nasty
bacteria in their mouths.

Have you seen my blue shirt?

Your good blouse
with the weird buttons?

Yeah, that's the one.
I can't wear this to a lecture.

Well, you could, but...

seeing as I ironed this...

Ah! That's the one. Thanks.

That's great, mum.

You need to chill.

Just don't let dad see you
freak out like this.

Thanks, Jack, but, you know,
seeing you're the one

who won't even email him,
let alone come with me today,

maybe you could take
some of your own advice.

Yeah.

Right, is there anything that you
need while I'm over there?

- 3-D gaming glasses.
- No, I said 'need'.

- Yeah.
- Dream on.

Hey, sorry I'm late.
I couldn't find my shirt.

So I see.
Oh, no, no. I'm not wearing this.

I've got, um...
Ah.

It's important
to make a good impression.

I actually don't need to impress
a bunch of med students.

I lecture, Andrew pays me,

and I get a new outboard
for the runabout.

Which I'm told you might be able
to help me with?

How much can I spend?
Two grand.

That's what they're paying me.

Might be able to find
something for that.

Right, and by 'find',
do you mean locate one for sale

or one that fell off
the back of a truck?

Do you want a new outboard or not?

Yeah, but preferably
without going to jail.

You ought to be replacing
the whole outfit.

That runabout of yours
is as clapped-out as the motor.

Well, it's not an option.

- You know what you should do?
- What?

You should get a decent breakfast.

It's the most important meal
of the day.

I think you'll find something more
edible down in the galley.

(Door opens)

Hey. You want to come
lizard hunting?

I need another set of hands.

Yeah, cool.

I'm not taking you away from school
stuff or anything like that, am I?

No, I'm good to go.
Ok.

(Funky music plays)

Oh! You're late.

And?

(Turns music off)

Um...

- I was actually enjoying that.
- Are you serious?

Those eurovision rejects?

My 3-year-old niece sings better.

You didn't seem
to mind the music last night.

Maybe if you didn't party so hard,
you'd be on time, huh?

You're right. Because I can see
you're overwhelmed with patients.

Just because there's no-one here

doesn't mean there aren't
things to do.

So do 'em.

Um, did you forget

we are on our own today?

Freya, I think we can
handle some coral cuts

and maybe a bit of sunburn.

If it comes to that. I'm gonna
be on the veranda, relaxing.

Excuse me!

Woman: We need some help, please.
Oh!

What happened?
I told him not to touch it.

But he did anyway.

Now it's stuck to him.
What is that?

Crab claw.

You need a hammer
to break it off.

There's bacteria in the crab shell.

If it gets into the cut,
it can infect.

I suppose we could... we could
prise it open with some forceps.

You need to smash it.
That's the only way to get it off.

Students. They think
they know everything.

That's how Sam did it.
I watched her with a fisherman.

Rick: - You want to take over?
Freya: - No.

I'm just saying,
I know how Sam would do it.

Let's just wait eight hours
until Sam gets back.

(Speaks French)

Woman: It's ok.

What's he saying?

It hurts. He wants to know
if he'll lose his finger.

Too early to say.

Oh, yeah.

The physiological mechanism
at work here is amazing. It's...

it could be the neural input
to the muscle fibres.

But how to get 'em to relax...

- Freya?
- Yes?

Get me a hammer.

I can still turn around.
Take you back.

No. (Clears throat)

As I said, you know,
it's just a bunch of med students.

Piece of cake.
See ya.

Don't make remote area clinics
sound too good. Hey?

Last thing we need's a bunch of
townies cluttering up the island.

Yeah. See ya.

Yeah. See ya.

(Siren blares)

(Horn honks)

Alright, alright.

Let me get that.

(Lock beeps)

Security upgrade.

Sorry.

- Thanks.
- No problem.

Sam: Since when was
this wing restricted access?

Since the labs
got their reno done.

A 'reno'. How humble of you, Andrew.

Makes it sound like all you got was
a coat of paint and some new toilets.

We could use a bit of a reno
at the clinic.

Well, put in the paperwork,
lobby the government,

get industry on board
and you can have one.

- Take you down for a look later.
- Thanks. Can I get changed in there?

Go ahead.

This shirt looks like
someone actually tried to iron it.

Yeah. The housekeeper.

He's terrible. Sack him.

I can't. He's family.

So how are you
getting along with Rick?

He hasn't turned up back here.
He must be settling in.

Have I mentioned that his head
is so far up his bum,

he could do
his own colonoscopy?

Once or twice.

Give him a chance.
He's a good diagnostician.

Interpersonal skills, I admit,
need some work.

Some work?

Alright, he needs
a good kick up the backside.

- As I recall, you're the expert at that.
- (Sighs) Bloody hell, Andrew.

You don't ask for much,
do you? (Sighs)

You did brush it, didn't you?

Ok, let's get this
over and done with, shall we?

I've finished the dressing.

Good.

They want to know
about the antibiotics, so...

(Sighs) I've already explained it.
Three times a day with food, Freya.

It's not rocket science.

When he will need more?

When will he need more?

Repeat's on the script.
Won't cure his stupidity, though.

Freya!

(Sighs) Yes?

Give the surgery a going-over.
Clean up any crab shell.

You know how anal Livvy is.

And write up the patient notes.
It's good practice.

Is that all?

(Door bangs)

(Students chatter)

Good morning.
I am Dr. Sam Stewart.

Today, I'm going to be talking to you
about a typical working week

at our remote area clinic.

So we'll start with
a few questions, um, for you.

Hands up if you have had
any experience with Dengue Fever.

Ok, Malaria?

Right. Tuberculosis? Ok.

There are probably at least
half a dozen more

that you've never even heard of.

Now, if you want to be
a doctor in the tropics,

then you need to be prepared
for anything.

Our patients out there
have been bitten and stung

by every animal and plant
under the sun.

If it is a snakebite,
then there is an antivenene,

but if it's an Irukandji sting,
you need to be prepared

for your patients to experience,
for at least 24 hours or more,

the most excruciating pain.

And if your question
is about morphine,

it won't even touch the sides.

Believe me, I know.

So if it is
a blue-ringed octopus,

the maculotoxin obstructs
the sodium channels to the muscle,

which causes motor blockage.

So aside from a pressure bandage,
you really have to watch out

for rapid paralysis
and respiratory failure.

You need to reassure your patient,
but above all, you must remember,

that your patient may be conscious

and just unable to
communicate with you.

Now, if you'd like to all look...

Ok, well, I've shared just a few

diagnostic experiences
with you today.

Clearly, there are a lot of risks,
but there are rewards as well.

I have lost count of how many times
I've had a freshly caught crayfish

left on my doorstep
as a thank you.

The perks of the job,
well, they are, for me, the people.

And like any practice anywhere,

your patients
are your most valuable asset.

(Applause)

Right, let's take a 5-minute break
and then come back for a Q & A.

Now, the calm waters
of this estuary

offer the ideal conditions
for this water dragon.

Now, this remarkable creature
has sensed our presence

and taken refuge under this tree.

But if we wait
a little bit longer,

we might just catch
a glimpse of him.

You ready for lunch, mate? I'm
starving. Yep. Cool.

Let me just get another shot
of you sneaking up again.

Hey, Jack?

Jack: Don't talk, man. I'm gonna
put music over this bit, alright?

Just bring that camera over here,
mate. Why is that?

Someone's popped up
to say hello.

Jack: What's...
What's that on her back?

Gus: It's a bloody
satellite transmitter!

Who the hell's
tracking our croc up here?

It's that dude Malcolm Reid
from the Uni Venom Lab.

He's got
that tagging project now.

Boy, is Sam gonna be pissed.

(Laughter)
Well, the answer is no.

If it requires
more than minor surgery,

then we will medivac the patient
out to the hospital here.

Next question?

Yes?

If we do a rotation with you,

what are the venom research
opportunities like?

Well, that...
That is more of a sideline.

And medical students
aren't expected...

But you are using
your venom research to

devise treatments
for clinical patients, right?

Like your sea snake
tropical ulcer cream.

That's actually still in development.

It's not really up
for discussion here.

And you also mentioned Irukandji,
is that something

you'd be looking to tackle
in the future?

I think that probably wraps it up
for... no, no. That's ok.

If you want to discuss venom here...

Right, how many of you
have family members

on high-blood-pressure
medication?

Ok. Well, the original version
of that drug type

is a modified snake toxin.

And we have other treatments
for diabetes,

heart problems
and maybe one day even cancer.

Venoms are
so exquisitely complex.

And the importance
of new venom-based drugs

simply can't be overstated.

And who knows
how many lives we can save,

or who knows how many cures
we can find

for diseases we haven't
even encountered yet?

My clinic is surrounded by ocean
and covered in thick rainforest.

We work in a 135-million-year-old
living laboratory,

and the most fantastic part

is that I get to go out into that
every single day,

where I can find a host
of venomous creatures

that nobody else has access to.

I get to observe and live
in this cradle of life

that also has the
power to save life.

And it is the most
incredible privilege.

I hope that answers
your question.

(Applause)

(Door bangs)

(Sighs)

What?

Could you have a look
over these notes?

I'm not sure if I'm
doing them correctly.

(Sighs)

Alright.

(Sighs)

Ok, "Patient presented
with crab claw," blah, blah,

"index and middle digits," blah,

"and then Dr. D'Alessandro
pulled at the claw,

causing the patient
extreme pain."

He was already in pain, Freya.
You can delete that.

"And then the patient asked
if he could have a different doctor

because this one was crazy."

See, Freya, the thing
with patient notes

is that you have to
tell the truth.

- Yeah. He did say that.
- When?

He said it in French.

What? You don't speak French?

Man on radio: 'Wave Rider'
to Hope Island Clinic. Over.

You going to get that?

This is 'wave Rider'
to Hope Island Clinic. Come in.

Hope Island Clinic.

- Please answer. This is 'Wave Rider'.
- This is Hope Island Clinic.

Over.

This is Hope Island Medical Clinic.
Go ahead, 'Wave Rider'. Over.

Can you help her, please?
She can't breathe.

Just lay her gently on the ground,
mate. What's her name?

Caitlin. She said her throat was
hurting. She couldn't breathe.

Rick: Caitlin, can you hear me?

Just gonna
put a mask on you, Caitlin.

Freya:
Just put her here. Thanks.

- Caitlin, you're gonna be ok. It's alright.
- Sorry.

Sorry.

Caitlin?
Caitlin, can you hear me?

Right, patient
is non-responsive.

Oh, we've got swelling of the throat
and mouth. Airway edema. Cyanosis.

Oxygen, 100%.

Prep an endotracheal tube.

Heart rate is dropping.
BP 80 over 40.

Right, stridor lung sounds.

When did this start?

About an hour ago.
She started wheezing.

- Is she asthmatic?
Woman: - No.

- How much does she weigh?
- What's that got to do with...

- 25 kilos.
- Thank you.

Adrenaline, 250 micrograms.

We're giving you something
to help you breathe, Caitlin.

- You're being really brave, Sweetie.
- What's wrong with her?

What's happening?

It's presenting
as anaphylactic shock.

Woman: - Oh, my God!
- Should I call Livvy?

- Rick, should I get Livvy?
- No.

(Groans)

Right, it's a severe
allergic reaction.

She doesn't have any allergies.

Any new foods?
Nuts? Sweets? Snack bars?

No.
Seafood?

- Any drugs?
- No.

- Paracetamol? Antibiotics?
- Nothing. Nothing.

(Groans)
Have you been swimming lately?

No. We were planning
on going this afternoon.

Ah. What's this?

Woman: - I don't know.
Man: - What's happened to her?

I knew we should have gone
to the mainland,

not some bloody bush clinic.

Freya: BP is rising.
Heart rate is stabilizing.

Right, she's responding
to the adrenaline.

(Sighs)

If you'd gone to the mainland,

your daughter probably
wouldn't have made it.

Let's find out
what did this. Caitlin?

Jack: Croc six. That's Neville.

They've been tracking her movements
since yesterday.

Well, no-one asked the
bloody wildlife ranger about this.

More to the point,
why would you bother tracking her?

Well, I'm pretty sure it's got

nothing to do with
their croc research.

Sam: And what was that ambush
about our venom work?

Andrew: Ambush? A bit paranoid,
don't you think?

Oh! This kind of bullshit is exactly
why I hate coming back here.

Come on, Sam, we both know
Malcolm can be a bit of an arse.

But don't judge the rest of
the University based on him.

You've been gone for a while.
There's been a change in culture.

This is not the place
it used to be.

I'm glad to hear it.
So, what's it got to do with me?

It means you can feel a lot more
comfortable about coming back.

Not as a doctor.
Venom work only.

We need your research here.

Andrew, I am not coming back.

Even if it means working out of
the top venom lab in the country?

I don't care if it is
the top venom lab in the universe.

- I will not work with Malcolm.
- This is not about Malcolm.

I need you here.

What, to be close to you?
And your girlfriend?

You and I have managed
to work together so far.

That's because 90% of the time,

you're at the other end of a
computer, Andrew.

The answer is no.

Well, I think
this might change your mind.

Sam.

Oh, great.

So glad Andrew's
brought you down to see us.

Mmm. Oh, I'm sorry. I don't think
that we've been introduced.

- Becky Oliver.
- Hi.

- Becky's one of my PhD students.
- Of course she is.

(Phone rings)
Sorry, I have to get this.

I'm a big fan of your work.
Your venom research.

And I was out at Hope Island the
other day for some R and R, so...

Oh. Limbo night. Right.

Yeah. Anyway, it was really great
to be in the field.

See the stonefish colonies.

Great technique for milking them
you came up with.

Oh, thank you.
Well, you are welcome any time.

Out in the field is where the
real work is done. Right, Malcolm?

Did Andrew mention we're looking at
having you relocate back here?

(Speaks inaudibly)

Where you can work
under more controlled conditions.

I actually don't think
that I need controlling.

- He's a complete tosser.
- Just think about it.

If you and Malcolm
combined your research...

I wouldn't trust him,
as far as I could spit.

Sam, you've done
a lot of great work

in your time on the island.
You have.

But it's time to come back here.
How about one day a week?

No. Andrew, coming back here,
it would make you feel better,

but not me.

Can I have my cheque now?

Thanks.

I just think that your venom
research should take priority.

You're a great one to talk
about priorities, Andrew.

Of all the reasons that
you've given me to come back here,

not once have you
mentioned our son.

Would there be any point?

I asked him to come with me today.
He didn't want to.

Yeah, I got that message
loud and clear

when he deleted me as a friend.

I'm sorry. Well, what are you
gonna do about it?

What can I do?

Then nothing's
going to change. Is it?

Thanks.

Man: So are we any wiser?

Look, there are a million things
it could be.

You know, beetle, insect,
spider, wasp.

She didn't say anything
about being stung.

Look, mate.

You need to think harder.

Ok, go through everything that
you've done in the last 24 hours.

Ok, um...

Yesterday, we went snorkeling
in the morning.

No, we stayed on the boat, remember?
No, I'm sure we went snorkeling.

Yeah, you did, but Caitlin and I
stayed on the boat.

We've been on that bloody thing
since Saturday.

Right, why don't you two step
outside, check your diaries

and let me know
when you can agree?

It's just been
one thing after another.

What did you do yesterday, Freya?
That's not a hard question, is it?

Woman: What, you're saying
it's my fault?

Man: You're the one who said
we should sell the house!

- Thanks, Caitlin.
Woman: - Not to get some stupid boat!

Can you roll over for me, please?

That's good. Oh!

Now, that's interesting.

- Maybe a bite?
- Mm-hm.

Man: Bigger house? So we can
all live in our separate rooms?

- Freya?
- Yes?

Get me a hammer.

Woman:
Our daughter almost died!

Man: And how about
you blow things out of proportion?

Woman: First the cyclone,
then the breakdown.

Man: It's the tropics!
These things happen!

- She couldn't breathe!
- Oh, and that's my fault too, is it?

I just don't see why we all
should have to suffer

because of your midlife crisis!

Making progress, then?

You said the adrenaline was helping
and that she's stable?

Oh, yes. It might take some time
for the rash to go down,

but her breathing
should be fine now.

Then I want to transfer Caitlin to
the mainland, to a proper hospital.

- Oh, for goodness sake!
- What?

What is so wrong with wanting our
child to have the best treatment?

If we were in Sydney,
this would...

We can organise a medivac transfer
if that's what you want.

But considering that Caitlin
is no longer critical,

it might take a few hours.

Then we'll take the yacht.

Oh, do you realise that'll take
at least six hours

if we're lucky with the wind?

I just want her to be ok.
Is that so unreasonable?

Where did you go on Saturday?

What?

You said you hadn't left the boat
since Saturday.

We went to the mainland.
McKinley Bay. We had a picnic.

Do you think she got bitten
by something there?

No. It wouldn't have taken this long
for the reaction to set in.

Can I have a look at your boat?

Just had a bit
of bad luck, you know?

She thinks we should pack it all in
and go home.

You know, whatever happened
to the spirit of adventure? Hey?

- Ross?
- Yeah?

Where was Caitlin
the hour before this hit?

Um... she was
up on deck with us

and then said she was bored,
going inside to read.

What, in here?
Down on the bed.

Right on your left.
In here?

Yeah, really thought
she'd like this, hey?

There's nothing here, mate.

I mean, kids these days.

You tell 'em the whole world's
a big, crazy place

and then we wonder why they
don't want to have a go at anything.

Ross. Ross, Ross.
Just give me a second, mate.

- I need to think.
- Ok.

Are you absolutely sure
that Caitlin did nothing

other than come down here?

Actually, no, she did come up saying
she couldn't find her book.

I asked her when she had it last,
she said the mainland,

I told her to check the picnic gear
straight through there, the hatch.

Whoa! Hey!
What the hell are those?

She's just over there,
water's edge.

Ok, on my count, we move between
the croc and the water, yeah?

Yep. Alright.

Three, two, one, now!

And yeah. Yep. Let's go!

Got it!

Good on ya, mate.
I got it!

Let's go do it!

- You found something?
- We have a winner.

I kind of suspected it when I saw
it was a hymenoptera sting,

but without the specimen,
you can never be sure.

Ants?

Jumper ants, found all the way
up the east coast

but most common in Tasmania.

You ever been there?

Frequently.
That's where her grandparents live.

That'll be it.

Because she must have been stung
at least once in the past

to develop an allergy.

I told you she had allergies.

Yeah, you were right.
You happy now?

Woman: - Don't just walk away from me.
Rick: - Why? Having a go at me again.

- Hey.
Rick: - Hey.

- They still fighting?
- Yeah.

Don't worry. My parents used to
do the same, only louder.

Although when you grow up
in an Italian household,

everything's twice the volume.

(Both laugh) Hey, Freya.

Have we got an ETA
on that medivac chopper?

Yeah.

My patient's condition
is worsening

because her parents
have deadset lost the plot.

Oh.

Recognise these fellas?
That's what bit me?

Well, it's a sting, actually,

but their venom is one of the
most powerful in the insect world.

- Really?
- Mmm. According to the Internet.

You can't trust everything
you read online, you know.

- Hey, should we open it?
- No.

Ok.

You know, you're gonna have to
do your best

not to get stung again, Caitlin.

But ants are everywhere. What if
I don't see them and I sit on one?

Well, that's why we give you
one of these things.

It's an auto injector.

You learn how to use it, and then
if you ever do get stung again,

you should be able
to avoid all of this.

Your parents will learn
how to use one too.

The medivac chopper, it's on its
way. About 40 minutes.

Will she have to stay
in the hospital long?

Maximum, a couple of days.

You know, they'll do a couple of
blood tests to confirm the allergy.

Oh, and they'll teach you
how to use one of those.

- Thank you.
- Oh.

My pleasure.

Then we'll come back here,
we'll pick up where we left off.

You might want to see if you can get
her into an allergy clinic first.

Waiting lists
can be pretty long.

You mean we get to go home?

Sucks, huh?

Oh, yeah.

Shit!

Aren't you going too?

No, Anne's gonna stay
at the hospital with Caitlin.

I'll sail the boat
back to the mainland.

Or South America, given her mood.

Don't worry, mate.
There's always next year.

Gus: Hey! Hey!

Hey! Wait up!

Hey, Jeff, you got room for one
more? Yep.

Poor kid. Just imagine
having parents like that.

- They weren't that bad.
- Excuse me?

Their kid was almost dying
and they couldn't agree

on what they had for lunch!

You should meet my parents.

- Oh, you're so full of it.
- Yeah.

But did you see
how I found those ants?

And just quietly, I reckon
deadly ants beat crab claw.

(Scoffs) Du bist ein dummkopf.

What? What's that even mean?

Did you just offer
to clean the surgery again?

Again? Ha!

(Door opens)

Freya? Rick?

It's ok, I'm back.

Hey.
Hey. I thought it was your day off.

I saw the chopper.
Where's the emergency?

It's all over.
It was nothing, really.

It's true.
We had it all sorted.

These are for Sam.

She can play with their venom.

Come on, Freya.
Buy you a drink.

How about you help with the cleaning
then buy me a drink, hm?

- How is that a good deal for me?
- Um...

It isn't.

Guess I could show you
how it's done properly.

Mm-hm.

Oh, I hope
that wasn't my motor.

No. No, it's, uh...

Dr. D'Alessandro's bicycle.

Custom-made French racer.

Worth a bit more than your outboard,
I reckon.

There's not even any bike tracks
on the island.

Aren't any golf courses either.
Didn't stop him bringing his sticks.

So. Good day, was it?

Brilliant.

You know, my lecture,
that was hijacked.

Oh, and my ex-husband,
he then offered me the job from hell.

What can I say?
It's all good.

Did he pay you at least?

Did you get my motor?

Ladies first.

How much?

What you said. Two grand.

Has it got a warranty?
Ooh! Let's not be ridiculous, eh?

Will you take me home?

I think I've had enough civilization
for one day.

Yeah. Yeah, in a minute.

What are we waiting for?

Hold on! I'm coming!

Him.

How did you get here?

- I flew.
- Why?

You'll see.

So how was your day?

- Any talent at the beach?
- Oh, couple of guys.

So why are you here?
I just wanted the day to myself.

Hard to believe
there is such a thing

as too many cute backpackers
on this island.

Hmm. You know,
you should be very careful

that you don't
end up like Neville.

The last single female
of the species.

You can talk.

You got room for one of these?
Yeah. Um, kitchen. Thanks.

Yeah, I've been thinking about
starting a trivia comp.

Thursday nights are a bit dead.

Well, those things
are all about the emcee, mate.

You get a good one and you're set.

Did I forget my birthday
or something?

- It's time, fellas.
- Time for what?

Gather round, everyone. Got
a little bit of a surprise, yeah?

(News theme)

Earlier, we brought you a story
about tagging crocodiles.

Well, today,
the university's venom research unit

got more than they expected when
they tracked one of their beacons

to main beach.

It wasn't a croc.
It was another species entirely.

(Laughter)

("Teddy bears' picnic" music
plays)

I think it's fair to say
beachgoers aren't all that confident

in their new lifeguard's ability
to swim the magic mile,

and, well, we're not too sure

how good he's going to be
in the water either.

Someone's idea of a joke.
Not the most clever one.

That's undergraduate humour for you.

(Laughs) Mate, you started it.
No-one tags our croc.

(Laughter)

(Clears throat)

(Turns off TV)

(Sighs)

I am so incredibly...

proud of all of you.

Good boys! Come here!

(Laughs)

Come here.

Let's eat.

(Chatters) There you go.

Hello, pretty.

I got a, uh, email from him
this afternoon.

Well, that's... progress.

Don't get excited.

Didn't say I replied.

Don't you want to know
what he wrote?

No.

I am not gonna hassle you
anymore, Jack.

You and your dad,
that is your business from now on.

Which means?

That I'm not going to be
your messenger. Or his.

Right, so we're doing reverse
psychology now, aren't we, mum?

Don't push it.
You're not that far ahead of me yet.

Want to bet?

Yeah.

You can't catch me,
can you? (Laughs)
