You said she was

:14:03
Her father set
the bloody greyhounds onto me.

:14:07
And I still convulse
every time I hear a dog bark.

:14:11
Come on, mate.
:14:13
I'd do it for you.
:14:14
Yeah, let everyone think
I'm a fairy.

:14:17
No.
:14:18
We fill out the forms.
:14:19
We send them in
to Canberra.

:14:21
They register us
as a same-sex couple.

:14:23
So then we're eligible
for the tax cuts.

:14:26
They think they've got
a couple of sure-fire votes.

:14:29
Everybody's happy.
:14:30
Yeah, they're happy.
We're gay.

:14:34
Well, just officially.
:14:36
You know,
some public service dickhead

:14:38
puts it in the computer,
:14:39
and we're eligible
for the tax cuts.

:14:42
End of story.
:14:44
Mate, I really need you
to help me with this.

:14:49
Please.
:14:52
Just sign the paper?
:14:54
Just sign the paper.
:14:55
And no one will ever know.
:14:57
Swear to God.
:15:02
Sorry, mate.
:15:03
I just can't do it.
:15:06
No.

:15:26
How are you, sweetheart?

How are you?

:15:29
Oh, you know.
:15:29

to keep me out of trouble.

:15:31
Well, don't work too hard.
:15:33
You always take on too much.
:15:35
Gee, love, you're starting
to sound like your mum.

:15:38
[Laughs]
:15:39
Someone's got
to look after you now.

:15:40
Hey, Dad, I'm thinking
of comng up on the 21st.

:15:44
Oh, that'll be great.
:15:45
You'll be here
for the Firemen's Ball.

:15:48
Um, okay.
:15:50
I'm bringing Peter to meet you.
:15:51
Yeah, well, it's about time
your old man was introduced.

:15:54
My thoughts exactly, Dad.
:15:56
Might even have to give
the old overalls a wash, eh?
