Thank me for that later.
I'm not even going to ask.
Ah, Cooper needs a new nappy.

'Said, this is Cooper.
You're his dad.
' What'd you say? 'Who are you?' Classy.
Well, mate, they were the S Moody Air days, you know? No, no, not really.
Mate, it was a goldmine of lonely housewives.
/fo Say what you will about those Acron 258 units, mate.
If not for those defective water pumps, Coops wouldn't even be with us.
Didn't one of them blow up and burn a house down or something? Ah, mate, who can say? Well, the papers, the police Jury's out, mate.
Jury's out.
So, Hayden and Cora, it's not Oh, yeah, no.
No.
I thought so, too.
No.
He's just slinging money into her business.
It's purely professional, mate.
Oh, yeah, I'm sure it is.
Well, mate, maybe if you hadn't gone to London the minute after you'd said, 'Oh, it's alright, Cora, I'm definitely staying here now.
' She knew that I might get the job, alright? Well, she's single now, mate, I'm telling you.
Can see it in her eyes.
Can you? Big time.
She was checking me out earlier.
Was she? Massively.
Massively.
You serious? But I'm off the market, so don't even worry about it.
And you and Peggy, you're on? Yeah, she's pretty keen.
I am the father of her latest child.
And he's her favourite one too, so BRIDGET: Sean, Peggy's here! Oh, speak of the witch.
Yeah, coming! Alright, so, lo I have provided thee with the miracle of Cora the hot girl at Christmas.
So thou shouldst do unto she as thy brethren surely wouldst have.
BRIDGET: Sean! Yeah, coming! Just don't fuck it up, alright? Hey.

Why? Oh, I just thought, you know, Cooper's first Christmas with me/fo No, we're going to Mum's.
Right, well, you could come over here after that, if you want.
I just said we're going to my mum's.
Why are you getting all clingy? I'm not.
Is this cause of the handjob I gave you last week? No.
We've only had sex a few times.
It doesn't make us married.
OK, I know.
Sorry.
Forget it.
Sorry.
It's alright.
Don't worry about it.
Come on.
No.
Come on! No! Come on, you're all tense.

If one explodes, they'll all go down like a bloody suicide bomber.
No, you're alright, Dad.
You sit down.
I did just have a fairly major heart attack, in case you'd forgotten.
Hey, Dan, what's the difference between a heart attack and a cow? What? Dad never milked a cow.
Get some new material, will you? That's That's funny.
But actually, it's inaccurate though, Sean, because your father and I, we did milk cows.
Your great uncle had a dairy farm just outside of Kangaroo Valley/ Sorry, Tez, I just remembered I've got to do something.
Do you need a hand? No, I'm good.
You sure? Yeah, that was before the expressway went in.
Used to be able to go down to Nowra.
There were lots of little windy roads just down CORA: .
.
and I might call you back.
Hey, Cora, it's um, it's Dan.
About coming over today, if you didn't feel comfortable, then don't feel like you have to, you know? It's ah We could catch up after Chrissy, if-if you wanted to, or um I don't know, I was thinking we could head down the coast and do that trip that we missed out on if you if you didn't have any plans.
So, yeah, so I'd love to catch up, mate.
Give us a call back.
Rock on.
OK, bye.
Hey.

You know, Kev, I'm really pleased I've got the chance to meet you right now.
Bridget's told me a lot about you.
Heart attack, business going down the tube.
I see.
Hey, I've had my fair share of hardship, too.
I just want you to know I'm here for you, bro, right? You and me.
BFFs, I reckon.
Oh, you got back problems? No, just pulled a muscle.
I think I just exerted myself a little too much in the heat of the moment.
Used to get tennis elbow too, you know? Happily, this is not from playing tennis, though.
Darlin'.
Look at that.
Oh, kiss for the butter.
(Sheep bleats) Why is there a sheep? Hey, Seanie, tell Irene about your little concert there.
So I take a standard nativity scene, the traditional one, and I just Baz it.
Romeo and Juliet.
Yes.
Exactly.
It's camp.
It's now.
We just Bazzed the shit out of it.
It's awesome.
Ding ding.
May I have your attention please? I'd like to propose a toast to my brother, who, this day a year ago, suffered a sizeable heart attack.
Just there.
We thought we'd lost him, but we didn't.
We got him back.
And also into the equation I bagged this little minx here, my lovely wife Irene.
You saved two lives that day.
No, I not doctor.
I Kevvie, he he owes you his life, and you you just saved me.
I wasn't sick.
But I was I was broken on the inside there, and you put me back together.

I'm horse? That's a snazzy little unit.
Can I have a You're a professional, yeah? Ah, well So I imagine this is just for hiding in those tight little situations? Ah, no, it's more of a holiday kind of camera.
Mind if I fire off a few now? No, be my guest.
Maybe Bridget? Cora? Maybe you two nice and close together.
There you go, you could be sisters.
Terry, might move you out of this one.
Irene, perhaps we could get a little threesome going here, ladies.
There you are.
Nice and close.
Closer.
Oh, that's one for the internet.
So, I'm getting recognised on the street.
Radio stations are calling me up.
I don't know how they got my number.
I don't think there's anything to be proud of.
You were exposed as a shonky repairman.
Um, sorry, who else here has been on prime time TV? My name has, thanks to you.
Name only, no footage.
I've been on Border Security.
That was ensemble.
I was the lead.
So, how long have you two been back on? Oh, we're not We're not really back on.
Yeah, we've actually gone into business together.
This is actually This is one of the belts she's designed.
Is that a woman's belt? No, it's unisex.
It's unisex.
Well, if you need any more photos taken, cha-chow! No.
No, I don't think that I do.
Yeah, I think we've kind of moved past the dodgy garage shoots, no offence, mate.
No, no, none taken.
I've kind of moved past models and fashion anyway.
Oh, you shoot models? Yeah, yeah, in London and Paris.
What, stalking them through their windows or chasing them down the street? No, neither of those.
Hiding in bins when I spoke to you.
No, I've been doing lots of different things.
And it wasn't in a bin, Dad.
I was near I was behind the bin, OK? It's a big difference, so don't Look, he might be a paparazzi sell-out scumbot, but he's making a fortune doing it.
So Cheeky rose there, Kevbo? I think this one's from Provence.
Ooh-la-la! Another wine snob, eh? Just like Roger.
Tez! Ooh-la-la! Tez.
What? OK see you, everyone.
ALL: See you.
Jeez, sorry, Bridget.
Just Just having a little joke.
Just kidding, yeah? You'd be pretty unlucky to have two of them in a row, wouldn't you? Ooh-la-la! Thanks, Terry.
(Glass shatters) Bang! Bottles akimbo! It's like the fireworks to Mardi Gras, isn't it, Elliott? Oh, well, packed them too close together.
Don't you worry, I've got another case in the car, so I'll just They might be a bit warm, but that's alright.
To Moody now, Moody takes it.
Little chip, no, it's a bomb! He's underneath it and he's continuing now! Seanie! What? What are you doin'? Peggy's, ah, picking me up over here, so just waiting.
Um, sorry.
Excuse me.
It's Terry's home brew.
Yeah, right.
I just I just wanted to say I'm sorry about the message.
It's It was I didn't want things to be awkward between us.
It's not awkward.
Good.
Great.
And I just The whole heading down the coast thing, I wasn't really, um Because you're probably back now with Hayden, so Are you? Or, are you back with Hayden now? Now it's getting awkward.
What? No, that's not what I Do you mind if I just No, go, go for it.
Go straight in there.
Excuse get your stuff done.
Just hypothetically, if I was going to head down the coast Dan, I just need to use the bathroom.
Yeah, sorry.
Bye.
You know, you've had a tough year.
You've ruined your family's business, you're still living at home, you're not much of a father.
Oh, steady on, mate.
I see Coops twice a week.
Twice a week? That's not enough, is it? And Peggy? I mean, you know, you probably imagined you two would be perfect together, but she doesn't want a bar of you.
Yeah, I know.
Look, my point is, I know how you feel.
You know, I've been there too.
I mean, you don't think Irene wanted a bar of me at first, do you? No way.
No bloody way.
I turned up at the hospital night after night after night with all sorts of ailments.
Broken toes and a knife wound.
Even faked an asthma attack in the waiting room one night.
Eventually she saw something in me that she just could not ignore.
What, love? Love? Not love, mate.
Love's for the movies.
Yeah, well, you get it in the end.
It is a by-product.
But no, you gotta wear 'em down at first.
It's a bloody war of attrition, eh? You should see me in full flight, Seanie.
Oh, I do not stop.
I'm like some kind of romantic Terminator, just coming at you and at you.
Oh, you cannot kill me.
Eventually they just give up.
So ring her, text her, send her a smiley face, a little poem, little joke.
Just call her and call her, and call her and call her and call her.
Just keep calling her until your fingers bleed and you've and you've run out of credit and you've got nothin' left.
And you're just spent.
Yeah Call her again.
Jesus, Terry.
Then call her again.
Anyway, let's get back to the party, nutsack.
Yeah, righto.
You can give me a hand in with the home brew out of the car.
Ah, can we get going now? Yeah, yeah, soon.
So, like, do you reckon I could come to yours for dinner tonight, or? Ah, probably not.
You alright? Sorry, guys.
Yeah, yeah.
Oh, quick, Dan.
I think I saw Sporty Spice run into the dunny.
Babe, I So, you guys, are you back on, or? Oh, pretty much.
We're gettin' there.
Right.
It's time to settle down, Dan.
We've both had our fun.
I mean, she was seeing some bloke in London, and it's not like I put up with a dry spell.
I mean, I was ploughing fields.
I was having so much sex She was She was seeing someone? Oh yeah, some idiot.
Technically we were broken up.
That's right.
That's right, you were.
Anyway, it meant nothing to her.
She was bored, didn't know him, so started seeing some nob.
Man, you don't you don't know the guy so you can't No, I do.
I do.
Walt Roskow.
I know, sounds like a joke, right? It was some student in her class, apparently.
Yeah, I know.
You know? What do you mean? Yeah, it does.
Sounds like a joke name, doesn't it? You enjoy them? Ah, no, just getting used to them.
They're fine.
I think you've got the gas on, mate.
Kevbo, there you are.
Ah, no thanks, Elliott.
I don't drink these days.
Are you sure? It's the good stuff.
No, I'm fine, thanks.
Alright, well, you hold that for me, eh? Christmas.
You've done alright for yourself, man.
I mean, beautiful, mature wife.
Sean's a riot, Bridget's a firecracker.
Dan can be a little pretentious, but he'll be okay.
You got kids, Elliott? Oh, big time.
Check it out.
Fernando, 21, Dravad, 17, Pia, Gertrude, both eight.
Twins, eh? No, not twins.
Born two weeks apart.
Listen, you do know that Bridget's very keen to be a mum? Duh! Like I don't hear that every day.
Oh, so you know it's something that's very important to her? Dude, say no more.
I know where you're headin'.
You're thinking I'm going to pogo your daughter senseless and then take off to Tahiti, leaving her holding the bundle.
Ain't gonna happen, bro.
Not my style.
Check it.
What's that? Hmm? What's that? Oh, this is more to scale, probably.
Are you saying that you've had a vasectomy? Bingo.
Tubes are firmly tied.
And does Bridget know? Yeah, I talk to chicks about that sort of stuff.
Come on, dude! Strictly bro talk.
Now you know there's nearly a 1% chance that after the op you'll never get it up again.
It's scary stuff.
I was worried there for a couple of days.
Then, out of nowhere, whooshka.
Massive erection.
I actually thought it looked bigger than before the operation, but the doctor tells me that's probably not possible.
I think it was an optical illusion of some sort, the way the dappled light was hitting the shaft at the time.
What's he telling you? No, no, no, nothing.
Strictly bro talk, yeah? Alrighty.
He's alright, your old man.
Catch you on the flipside, K-Dog.
Do you know that you're drinking out of a jar? Yep.
I just wanted to say that I'm really glad things are going so well for you.
Thank you.
You too.
I mean, having a bit of cash must make things easier.
Hayden's actually been really great.
Is he? Good.
Good.
Excellent.
And what about Walt? Has he been great too? The guy in your class? We used to joke about how his eyes were close together and I mean, what? Was that before or after you and I were together, hmm? You're an idiot.
Oh, right.
So I'm Walt.
Awesome.
You'd prefer that your cousin hated you? No, what I'd prefer is to not be a boring nob that meant nothing to you.
Why'd you have to choose Walt? The guy's such a What about Andy? Oh, my God, you have totally missed the point.
And Hayden is not just he's not the only one who's supportive because he just shoved money into things, OK? You're the You're the one who cares about money.
You took that job overseas, and you said that you hated that stuff.
Yeah, well at least I don't wear lady belts.
They're unisex.
Are they? Thanks for that.
That's really lovely.
Take your time, son.
Come on, Murali.
Oh, wide.
What was that? You bowling like a Pom now? Keep bowling like that, Dan, I'm going to have to get a wide angle lens.
Oh, that's funny, Elliott.
Ooh-la-la.

Hey, careful! Get off me! What did I miss Get any photos? Ah, yeah.

Dan? Yes, OK, we were, but they were broken up at the time.
You're my cousin! We're family! Yeah, well you've got her now, so you've won, OK? Hey, hey, that's enough! You're carrying on like idiots! Just Just forget it.
No, let's not forget it.

A Current Affair.
Oh, Jesus! Dad! Dad! K-Man, chill out.
No, Elliott, I won't bloody chill out.
Dad, just calm down! I am calm! But I've got every right to be angry.
But do you see me losing my temper? No! Because I'm a rational adult human being.
And if I can do it, the rest of you can bloody well do it as well! By the way, don't expect a kid from him.
He's had the snip.
Dude, that is so not cool.
Can you believe your old man? Total cock block.
Yeah.
I specifically asked you.
And I specifically never answered.
Darlin'.
