2 MAN: There are things that happen
that no-one else knows about.
Everyone's got something like that.
A story, you know, buzzing inside,
that's now a part of your DNA,
that only makes sense to the people who were there with you.
What happened to us was so...weird.
(REFLECTIVE MUSIC)
There was so much good, you know?
So many laughs, so much of everything.
Our last two years of school
and now we're all in different places.
But when I least expect it, it nudges.
Taps on my chest from the inside.
Brings you back to everyone who went through it.
(SCOOTER BUZZES)
We're bound forever with that.
(BELL RINGS)
I'm not sure if my version of the story is entirely true,
but it's what I remember.
MO: Why the fuck did we agree to do this?
TULLY: I know! How did sir get us to carry his couch?
MO: Why do I feel like an ant right now?
Because we are. Well, if we exist at all.
MO: Who have you been talking to?
Let me guess. That guy's off his chops, bro.
No, Gus is OK if you give him a minute.
Or he's a tool.
He wants you to go up too.
How many storeys is it?
-Like, 28. -Ugh!
What, did you just vomit in your mouth?
(MO LAUGHS)
-Come on, then. -Sorry, sir.
I think Mo has a funny tummy.
Yeah, 'cause Tully was feeding me bullshit.
-(LAUGHS) -You're not gonna help, sir?
TULLY: Nah, you've gotta turn it sideways.
-(THUDDING) -TULLY: Oh, Jesus, Mo!
-Careful of the cafe! -(MO LAUGHS) Sorry!
Dude! Lift!
Sorry, my pants are falling down.
Remind me why I asked you boys to help.
Our impeccable teamwork, sir!
My disorganisation is partly to blame.
-Uh, "partly"? -Hey, focus, sir!
IOANE: OK, take a breath. Sort it out.
-Yeah, Mo! -Yeah, Tully.
-(IOANE GRUNTS) -Bend with your back, sir.
-(GROANS) Yeah, sir! -MO: Better hit the gym, eh?
(LAUGHS)
Youse two are little shits. That's gonna be 20 laps.
(LAUGHS)
(ALL GRUNT AND SIGH)
-IOANE: You, right, T? -Yep.
IOANE: Wow, thank you, guys.
Yeah, no worries, sir. That it?
Yeah, yeah. You go. Be free.
(CHUCKLES)
IOANE: See you Monday, boys.
Hey, thank you. Thank you.
-All good, sir. -Yeah, all good.
"Sir"? That's still wild.
-TULLY: Oh, my God! -(BOTH LAUGH)
I don't think they're scared of me.
(LAUGHS) Is that what you were going for? You'll be fine.
Just don't laugh at their jokes for at least a whole term.
What if they're really funny?
You'll never get your authority back.
You've gotta go into another place until the joke's over,
uh, don't replay it in your head and always be on alert.
OK. Gotcha.
Thank you.
Um, if you want,
I'll probably order some food in a minute,
if you want to hang out on the roof.
-I, uh... -Or...or not.
If you've got plans. All cool.
I did have a date
with some paperwork.
Ah, well, uh, in that case, I do have some warm kombucha.
Or, uh, this birthday wine
that I really shouldn't drink by myself.
Oh. Recent break-up?
Lucky guess. Lucky guess.
I like a snug ankle, but not like trapped.
You want, like, a little peek at the top. I get it.
It's comfortable. That's the thing.
So...yea or nay?
(MO SIGHS)
The glass'll go in anytime now, so it's your last time to come.
-That's what you always say. -'Cause it's true!
And it's not the same as looking at the photo.
See what I've seen, MoMo.
Are you already high?
(LAUGHS) It'll be sweet. You'll be good.
-Hey! -Yeah?
It's all arrived!
Oh, you can open it.
-ALAN: Is that Tully? -LUCINDA: Yep.
Hey, it's all arrived, mate!
TULLY: Ah, she already told me!
(SPORTS COMMENTARY PLAYS FAINTLY)
Uh, good chat, everyone.
(TULLY LAUGHS) Yeah. Really good.
(INDIE MUSIC PLAYS FAINTLY)
Guess what number I'm thinking of.
MAYA: Seven.
Oh, my God. How did you know that?
-You were not thinking seven. -I was, I swear.
(PRIYA SCOFFS)
You want wings?
Mm. They make my eyes look weird.
She would rather teardrops all the way down her face.
(MAYA MOCK-SOBS)
Do you guys think this is the last day I'll be a virgin?
(FRIENDS LAUGH AND SNORT)
PRIYA: OK, shut up.
You know I meant a Tully virgin.
(KATE LAUGHS)
I was gone for two seconds and you hooked up with him.
Well, we talked first, obviously.
You were paired up in a business studies group assignment.
Eww! Maya!
You know I can't with that origin story.
Even if it's technically true.
(KNOCK AT DOOR)
OPHELIA: Hello! Everyone decent?
(HINGES SQUEAK)
-PRIYA: Hey! -Hi!
-Oh, hello, darling!
Mrs K, you look amazing.
Thank you.
Oh, you haven't seen my lipo scars, have you? Look.
See?
Matches the one when Kate came out of the sunroof...
Mum!
(LAUGHS) There's nothing shameful about the human body.
Oh!
I had an outfit like that when I was your age.
Thank God you're not anorexic like I was.
Thanks.
Nice!
See, we didn't have a name for it when I was growing up,
but I am 100% on board with this whole nipple freedom thing.
It's very cool.
Ah, free thy nipple.
Mm.
-OK, you can go now. -OPHELIA: Ooh!
Anyone want a reading before you go out?
-KATE: Thank you. -No?
'Bye.
Thank you for sharing your scars.
I am so sorry. I'm so sorry.
PRIYA: Oh, I don't care about my nipples.
Oh, my God.
No shade, though,
those scars were literally so intense
I never want to get an operation, ever.
For real, though, are my nips too loud?
'Cause they looked fine at home.
MAYA: Of course they did.
Your bedroom is literally 100 mood lighting.
Facts.
(PATS BOTTOM)
(LAUGHS)
-Hey, Mo. -MO: Hey.
Ooh! Big plans?
Oh, just hanging out.
Oh, it's always good to look smart.
TULLY: Ooh!
Hey, T, you want to go through all this.
Oh, take whatever you want.
-Yeah, OK, not those. -Tight-arse!
What happens when they realise you can't bend for shit?
-Nah, you wish. -(LAUGHS)
-Right. -LUCINDA: Hey.
Before you go...
We're having pizza tomorrow night?
Yes, pizza tomorrow, so we can go through your contract.
Yeah, OK. Don't have a heart attack.
What are you talking about? I'm fine.
Yeah, he's only told people that he already knows.
Mm, sounds cringe. Alright.
-See ya. -See ya, Mo.
TULLY: Alright, don't wait up!
-Behave! -(TULLY LAUGHS)
(LUCINDA SCOFFS) When have you ever behaved?
(LUCINDA LAUGHS)
OK, please, you need to calm down.
You've never been this anxious before
and come on, we can't both be on meds.
-(GIRLS LAUGH) -Oh. Ah!
GEORGE: Oh, my God, is that a collective triple threat I see?
OK, fine.
If I blow you when I get there will you be OK?
OK, 'bye. Yes, goodbye.
-Hi! -(ALL SQUEAL)
Ohhh!
-KATE: Uh, uh. -Uh, uh.
-Uh, uh! -Yeah!
-Uh, uh. -Yeah.
OK, wait. Pause, pause, pause.
I'm getting very horny vibes in this vicinity.
Does this mean what I think it means?
-This? -Yeah, this.
-Really? -Yes!
-I'm ready to manifest. -Yeah, you are.
(BOTH LAUGH)
-Do you reckon it'll work? -(MO SPEAKS INDISTINCTLY)
-TULLY: How's it going? -(KATE SHRIEKS)
-(TULLY LAUGHS) -Hey!

So...you pumped about the party?
Yeah. You?
Yeah! You?
Yeah! (LAUGHS) You?
-(LAUGHS) -But, hey, um...
I gotta take the scenic route to the party.
-So I'll see you there? -Yeah.
-Yeah? -(LAUGHS)

-George, how'd you go? -Um...
-Did ya get any? -(GEORGE INHALES)
-Hmm. -Nice!
(BOTH LAUGH)
-Alright, I'll see you there. -'Bye!
Come on, come on, come on. Let's go, let's go.
-You're a bitch. -Mo, come on, come on.
-(KATE SPEAKS INDISTINCTLY) -(SYNTH MUSIC CONTINUES)
Oi! Gus! You coming or what?
Jeff was freaking out. Needed a go around the pond.
-Didn't you, old boy? -Dogs know the world's burning.
-GUS: Oh, not this again. -What?
GUS: Dumbest thing I've ever heard.
TULLY: Why do you have so many stairs?
GUS: I don't know, stairway to heaven, mate.
(TULLY LAUGHS)
GUS: Oh, here he is. What's up, bro?
JED: Hello! How are you?
GUS: Not too many treats, OK? It's bad for his tummy.
-Oh, but he's such a cutie! -Stop! He's not cute.
ZIPPY: Hey.
Heard there's a party. What's happening?
-It's, like, a school thing. -"School thing".
GUS: Sorry, bro.
ZIPPY: Oi.
Nice kicks.
TULLY: Thanks.
-I put 'em on myself. -(JED LAUGHS)
Oh, you that cunt with the golden balls?
-Yeah, why? You wanna see em? -(JED CHORTLES)
How many times have I told youse not to smoke under my door?
Oh. You wanna hang?
Uh, nah, we're heading off, sorry.
We invisible, Kaynes?
-Youse two are dreaming. -GUS: See you, Nan.
-(BOTH LAUGH) -GUS: Love you!
Heya, gotta go. See ya.
Oi! You owe me some Bundy!
And a fuckin' text!
TULLY: Why do you owe her a text, Gus?
GUS: Shut up, Tully.
Fuck off.
-(ENIGMATIC ELECTRONIC MUSIC) -MAYA: It's so pretty.
PRIYA: Oh, wow, the sky's beautiful.
KATE: It won't capture the colours.
MAYA: Shut up, I'm still taking it.
-GEORGE: Cool. -KATE: Ohh. I missed you.
MAYA: Um, hello.
(LAUGHTER)
KATE: Oh, I missed you too, boo.
MAYA: Oi, come on.
-(INDISTINCT CHATTER) -(BIRD SQUAWKS)
PRIYA: Brendan will see us at the party,
so how does it matter?
He's only letting me bring three Year 11s.
I do not need his brain blowing up all in one go.
-Oh, you're joking, though. -Seriously, it's not that hard.
Go over that fence and go through the side door.
Come on, Kate.
(MUFFLED MUSIC PLAYS)
Does Brendan have anthropophobia or something?
MAYA: Priya, what the fuck does that mean?
I didn't agree to a party!
I said gathering. This is a gathering.
You invited everyone in your year!
No.
Do they go to our school?
There's only two of us coming in right now.
I know you're tricking me with the language.
You're extremely hot to me in this moment,
but you might want to relax.
Give us six minutes.

Yeah, this is my good jacket.
Have fun, then!
Ladies first.
Thank you.
(PRIYA SIGHS)
MO: Do you need help?
Bitch, I know how to climb a fence.
BRENDAN: Stay still. Don't touch my arms.
GEORGE: I got you. I got you!
(SHRIEKS)
-(MAYA LAUGHS) -What the fuck!
What are you doing? I told you to use the side door!
-It wouldn't open! -I knew you were tricking me!
Maya, fuck! He was only just starting to relax.
Only a little bit. What the...
I guess one more won't hurt.
-My God, what is going on? -BRENDAN: Oh, there's two?
-He knows we've come in. -Three!
Just do it! I'm almost halfway through.
PRIYA: Other leg, Mo. Other leg.
-Come on, foot. -BRENDAN: Foot. Foot! Ah!
Sorry. (LAUGHS)
God!
Hold this, Mo. Can you take my bag? OK.
How do you fit all your stuff in there?
MO: Oww!
-Sorry! OK. -GEORGE: Come on.
Oh, my God! Can you help me?
BRENDAN: Maybe get through the window first.
MAYA: What about this thing? OK.
No, no, no, no, no, put that down.
Put it down. Put it down. Let go of the pouff.
No, because haven't we all dreamt of Mo
coming through our window at night, like...
My God, you have convivophobia.
-I've got what? -Fear of parties.
Gathering. This is a gathering.
MO: Oh, this is still my good jacket.
Honestly, George, making me do this for no reason.
Smile, Moby.
One day you'll be bragging to your grandkids
about that one time you crashed a Year 12 party.
So it is a party.
BOWIE: I'm back on the apps, man,
you know, which to be honest, the only good thing about it
is being able to say yes when people are like,
"Oh, are you back on the apps?"
Yes! If my mum and my sister ask me one more time...
-Ohh! Do they want a wedding? -Yes.
-(LAUGHS) Oh! Tough gig, man. -Oh, I mean, I get it.
My sister has four kids and I've got none,
but give me a minute to get over shit!
No pressure here, mate.
Actually, I did, um...
I did swipe on...
-Is it Mae? -Art teacher Mae?
Yeah.
Yeah, well, I met her waiting for my, um, interview
and then she came up and I was, like...
Well, I'm someone who really believes in
signs from the universe.
So, yeah, but she hasn't matched yet, but...
Actually, can I ask?
Just be honest.
Do you think that this photo
makes me look like I've got this weird gut thing?
Yeah, it doesn't look right.
Well, thank you for your honesty.
(BOTH LAUGH)
-Is this the one? -TULLY: Yeah, why?
(TULLY LAUGHS) No, what are you doing?
-(METALLIC DOOR CLANGS) -Police!

There goes the night.
Oh, he'll be OK. How's your night been?
Milady.
Shouldn't you be fucking around in class somewhere?
Guys, she's seen me in class!
(KATE GASPS)
(LAUGHS) You should do caps more often.
You're actually funny now, not just a joke.
Oh!
Darling, come on, let's get off the floor.
-Alright. Up, up. -(LAUGHS)
-(GUS EXCLAIMS) -What the fuck?
-Alright, off the floor. -(GROANS) I'll find some drinks.
OK.
Dude is loose.
He does whatever he wants. More than either of us can say.
Oh, good to see you too, Tully!
-Oh, you know what I mean. -(BOTH LAUGH)
OK, OK.
OK.
Let's pretend we can do whatever we want.
Please.

Hey, you're not mad I didn't visit?
Maya, it was only a couple of months.
Did something happen?
Can't we just... I can't.
Was it bad?
Oh, God, no. Sorry, no. Nothing like that.
But still...
Can we just pretend that everything is OK?
We can pretend whatever you want.
Like you're not cut about Tully and Priya?
I don't own him.

Amazing night, GP. You're the glue.
