:10:00
I have got it.
:10:02
(Ralph)
Got what?
:10:03
The answer.
:10:04
What's the question?
:10:05
You know, me tax problem.
:10:07
Look at this.
:10:08
The government's
just passed this bill.
:10:10
(Ralph)
Politics.
:10:11
You know I don't vote.
:10:13
Yeah, but you do know
:10:14
there's an election
this year, right?
:10:16
Yeah, I know.
I just don't care.
:10:18
Yeah, well, it says here
:10:19
this one's going to be
a real neck-and-neck race.
:10:21
Yeah, why would you vote?
:10:23
A politician
might get in.
:10:25
Can you just listen?
:10:26
They reckon it'll be so close,
it'll come down
:10:29
to who can win
a majority of the gay vote.
:10:33
Gay?
:10:34
Yeah, shirt lifters,
:10:35
them that bat
for the other team,
:10:37
poofters.
:10:38
Geez, eh?
:10:39
I wouldn't have thought
there were that many of them.
:10:42
Apparently enough
to swing the vote.
:10:43
That's why both sides
are sucking up to them.
:10:45
It's all about giving them
the same rights
:10:47
as regular married couples.
:10:48
So what's that got
to do with us?
:10:50
Well, the opposition...
:10:52
[horn honks]
:10:53
Hey, Billy!
:10:54
Well, the opposition
has promsed
:10:55
to change the tax laws
if they get elected, right?
:10:59
So the government's just
beat 'em to the punch.
:11:01
Not only did they pass
the law;
:11:03
they've made it
retrospective.
:11:05
Oh.
:11:06
Will you run that
by me again in English?
:11:09
Well, it just means
that gay couples
:11:11
can get all the rebates
of regular couples,
:11:13
and they can claim them
for up to five years back.
:11:17
If I can go back
to an earlier question,
:11:20
what's it got to do
with us?
:11:23
Mate, if I can get
those same tax breaks
:11:26
for the last five years,
:11:26
I could write off so much tax,
I'd be laughing.
:11:29
Hey, you could even
claim me as a dependent.
:11:32
We'd both come out in front.
:11:36
But how can we do that?
:11:36
Well, it's simple.
:11:40
We just become gay.
:11:44
No!
:11:45
No, no, no, no.
:11:47
How many times
do I have to tell you?
:11:49
We just say we are.
:11:50
There's no physical.
:11:51
(Ralph)
Hey, Harry.
:11:53
No.
:11:55
What's wrong
with you, Ralph?
:11:56
I mean, this is
our big chance
:11:58
to really turn things
around for us.
:11:59
We could split our incomes,
claim spouse benefits.
