00:00 I am a warthog, come back to me.
00:07 Pamela is a scaredy cat.
00:09 I am not!
00:10 Edith, would you like to start taking dance lessons with your sister?
00:13 No.
00:14 Do you need to try new things like playing with other children for example?
00:17 When I have babies, I'm going to play with them all the time.
00:20 I've already got their names picked out.
00:22 That's stupid.
00:23 Edith, look at your sister. Do you see how confident she is?
00:26 Confidence is all you need in life.
00:28 Look, I know you're young and you don't really understand yet, okay,
00:31 but as you get older, you could be more like Pamela.
00:34 Well, I'm sorry, Gavin. I didn't see you there.
00:39 Don't sulk, Gavin. We'll buy you another one.
00:43 Oh, hey. It's good for you to play with boys your own age.
00:46 Now that Ryan and Jacob are getting a bit older.
00:48 There's a catch!
00:50 Tops, we're at the playground again.
00:54 Just like old times, hey, Edie?
00:56 Are you going to act full time?
00:58 Yeah, I think so.
00:59 What a shocking audition.
01:00 I swear, the sooner I get my big break, the better off we'll all be.
01:03 You do acting?
01:05 I've been signed up to a talent agency.
01:07 Gavin?
01:08 For his bloody big break.
01:10 Yep, and we'll move in together, buy a dog, have some kids
01:13 and live happily ever after.
01:16 I don't think that's ever going to happen.
01:18 You do want to be an actor, right?
01:20 Well, then get in there and fake it!
01:22 I've never seen any of her work.
01:23 That's because I write short stories, Dad. Parables.
01:26 But I stopped showing them to you because you said they were lame.
01:29 The highs and heartbreaks of publishing.
01:31 I mean, the tears, the tantrums, the typos.
01:34 Oh, yes, yes, that's it!
01:36 Now he's going to have to marry her.
01:38 One day I was finishing high school.
01:40 The next I was married with a baby.
01:42 I mean, it's not like you've ever achieved anything.
01:45 God, I hate you!
01:46 Oh, I hate you!
01:47 I hate you!
01:48 I hate you!
01:49 I hate you!
01:50 Let's have a kid together.
01:51 I saved our child, the misery of parents that don't belong together!
01:54 You had absolutely no right to make this decision without me!
01:57 Look, why does Pamela get to be happy and I don't?
02:00 Maybe I do want children or maybe I don't.
02:03 I mean, maybe all I want is to be loved!
02:06 Where does the time go?
02:07 There's never enough time.
02:09 I'm over 50 years old now.
02:11 I've spent so much time apart from them
02:14 that I've hated them for longer than I've known them.
02:17 Well, well, well.
02:19 This is a sight to make the eyes sore.
02:21 Shut up, Neenah. You're here to see Kerryn, not bully me.
02:24 She still needs someone else's constant attention just to get through life.
02:27 If only we could turn the clock back.
02:29 We haven't spoken in 20 years.
02:43 Oh, did he need time away?
02:45 No.
02:47 We are heading towards the same destination, we're just on different journeys.
02:50 Hmm.
02:51 [The End]
