[Angus V/O] Last Christmas is when everything changed,
Dad, Wake up,
I'm sleeping,
Wake up, Dad,
Still sleeping,
[Angus V/O] It all feels like a dream to me,
[pensive ambient music]
[both chuckling]
Clean this up,
[Angus V/O] My sisters act like nothing has changed,
Mum hasn't been the same,
Everybody came back home like normal,,,
,,but it wasn't normal,,,
,,'cause it was our first Christmas without Nan,
[playful slapping]
[Rita giggles]
[both spit]
[Rita laughs]
[kookaburras laughing]
[Roger] Yes, I know, but if we leave by 4:00
we can get the last plane home,
I told them we would stay another night,
Well, can't you just make up a reason to leave early?
What if I actually want to spend time with my family?
[exasperated sigh]
- [Queenie barks] - No, get,,,!
- Oh! - Get that thing away!
- Just,,, get it together, - Bloody thing!
[Angus V/O] Queenie had to spend all day tied up
because Uncle Roger doesn't like her jumping up on him,
- Hello! We're home! - Fuckin' hate that dog,
[Angus V/O] He says he's a cat person,
Get it away,

Oh, hello! Oh, go look in the fridge!
Go look in the fridge, go look in the fridge!
[Angus V/O] We don't see Auntie Stella much,
She married Uncle Roger
and moved to a big house in the city,
Oh, no, let 'em have one, That's what I brought them for,
- There's plenty, - [kid] Mum, please!
- [Rita] Alright, alright, - Yeah, see?
No one gets in trouble when Auntie Stella's home!
How's work, Joe?
[Angus V/O] Uncle Roger is like kryptonite to Dad,
[Stella, under breath] Roger,,,
Stella didn't tell you?
Oh, God, She did,
Yeah, That's terrible, That's terrible,
That's,,, that's heartless this time of year,
Hey-ey! We made it!
[Angus V/O] Uncle Gary and Uncle Murray
are the opposite of kryptonite,,,
- Fresh Mooloolaba prawns! - Everyone loves 'em,
They're Grandad's brothers,
I never met Grandad, but if he was like his brothers,
I bet he was awesome,
Could be worse, you know? Could be my family,
[both chuckle]
At least I wouldn't know what they were saying,
True,
Do you want to come say hi?
- Yep, [kisses]
[light-hearted chatter nearby]
Hello!
Rita!
- [both chuckling] - [animated chatter]

Are you nervous?
[apprehensive chuckle]
Nah,

We're not even inside yet and you're planning your escape?

You've grown!
Wow! Grab my guitar,
Alright, come on,

[Roger] Shampoo?
[Dan] Not me, not drinking,
How's the music biz?
Great,
Yeah, great, Actually, thinking of starting my own label,
Ooh! [inhales sharply]
Must be hard, though, is it?
Is it hard? The music biz? Is it,,, is it really hard?
Yeah, sometimes,
You couldn't possibly make any money,
Oh, well,,, if you love it, you persevere,
- Well,,, - [Dan] Hey, Joe!
Your table, How about a speech?
[Gary] I'd just like to say something,
[tinkles glass]
So here we are,,,
um,,,
and there's a lot to be sad about,
It's the first Christmas without your mum,
And, of course, we miss her,
But we're all here together,
- which is the main thing,,, - [man clearing throat]
And what am I trying to say here,,,?
So,,, [clears throat]
we just wanted to take this moment
to acknowledge that everything we need, we have, right here,
And I want to thank Rita and Joe
for this beautiful meal that we can all enjoy together,
- So,,, - [Gary] Yep,
Let's raise our glasses,,,
Merry Christmas,
[all] Merry Christmas,
[glasses clinking]
[Dan] Merry Christmas,
[Angus V/O] My nan always said that family
know exactly how to press your buttons,,,
'cause they're the ones who put the buttons
there in the first place,
[cockatoos screeching in distance]
- [Murray] Seconds? - [Dan] No, mate, I'm full,
[Murray] Come on, there's no such thing as leftover pavlova,
Help me clear some of the,,, this table,
Leave the brothers to talk about things,
[Dan noodling on guitar]
You good?
[Joe] Yeah, mate, You?
Good,
- [Dan] Good, - [Joe] That's good,
How's the new missus?
[Dan] We broke up,
[chuckling] Fuck off,
- [Dan] What? - You broke up?
I mean,,, it sounded pretty serious
when I asked you to come home and you said you couldn't,
I know you're having a shit time, Rita said,
- [Joe] When did she say that? - I was on tour,
That's why I couldn't come back,
Oh, you were on tour, Right, yeah, Okay,
I forgot the world revolves around your tours,
Why are you out here wasting your time talking to me?
You only see your daughter once a year,
Come inside,
[Joe] What, so I can listen to you sing Jingle Bells again?
No thanks,
[Queenie whining]
[Angus V/O] I can always tell when Dad is feeling sad,
He goes quiet and his eyes go far away,
[Angus] Hi, Dad,
[kisses]
[Angus V/O] Sometimes you don't know why things happen,
They just happen,

Please,
Let me tell you what's going on out there,
While you're in here,
Out there,
your children are growing up without a father,
I'll be out of here by July,
With good behaviour,
The only thing that keeps me going on in here
is the thought of how, someday, I'm gonna make it up to you,
Pay it all back,
Couldn't you just bring Gus?
I can't bear the thought of not seeing him this Christmas,
[Rita sighs]
It's all I have to look forward to, Ri,
Seeing you guys,
He is telling everyone you'll be home for his birthday,
Will you?
I will be,
[Rita smacks lips, sighs]
Hey, I promise,
I'm trying,
This is the edge,,,
,,Joe,
We are right on the edge,

,,how to handle it,
I could've handled it,

Yeah, but at some point you realise,,,
,,you'd rather have a life,
You got kids?
Mm-hm,

What's that?
Gravy,

I don't think so, [chuckles softly]

- Yum, - [Rita] One for you, Okay,
That's Dad's spot,
I keep telling you, Don't sit there,
There's plenty of room,
I don't want to live here anymore,
I'm sorry to hear that,
Where would you like to live, bud?
- With Dad, - You can't live in a prison,
- That's so dumb, - [Angus] You're dumb,
You are, You have an emotional support animal,
You know, I heard a great song today,
It's called,,,
"Be nice to your brother and let's have a lovely dinner",
I could make him happy,
And what will Queenie do?
[Angus] She could come,
What about your goldfish?
Am I old enough to go see Dad by myself?
Why would you want to? He doesn't care about us,
[Rita] That's not true,
Dolls, that's not true,
I'll think about taking you, okay?
[Angus] Yeah,
Good,
Please don't feed the dog at the table, mate,
I don't have to listen to you,
[wry chuckle] Well, I have to listen to you,
If you listened to me, you wouldn't live here,
Enough,

I'm your 'funcle',

Listen,
it's really good that you want to help your dad,
live with him, comfort him,

[Joe] Yep,
Once a kid sees a blood nose,
he'll never come after you again,
That's what your pop taught me,
Have you had your tea?
[Angus] Yeah, Mum burnt the chicken,

[Angus] Why does Uncle Dan have to be here?
He's just helping out your mum, mate, Okay?
It's-it's a big job looking after three little monsters,

When you come home on my birthday,,,
- [Joe] Mmm, - ,,we should have two cakes,
[Joe] True? Why's that?
Well, you didn't get a birthday this year,
so you can share a birthday with me,
But I want to have that same cake you made me last year,
I want to have it again,
And you can have whatever cake you want,
[Joe chuckles]
We can have two cakes,

If, before the age of 18,
you were raised by a single parent, adult or grandparent,
take a step inside the circle,
If you often felt that no one in your family loved you,
that you weren't important or special in some way,
take a step inside the circle,

Well, he sounds like a good man,
He was,
Until he killed himself,

[Noel] I'm sorry,
Not your fault, You didn't do it,
How old were you?
I was ten,
Nine,
Oh well,
No, you don't need to minimise your trauma for us,
Okay,
You felt like your dad abandoned you, You,,,
You were his responsibility,
- What? - [Noel] You needed him,
He should've been there,
He did his best,
A father has a responsibility to be there for his children,
He did his best, mate,
Alright? Shit happens, Are you trying to make me cry, mate?
- [chair clatters] - [Noel] Joe,
[exhales deeply]
[Noel] Joe, if you were to cry,
it wouldn't lessen my respect for you,
Can't have been easy for you coming here tonight,
Not many people can say these things,
things that you've said,,,

Oh, these fellas just,,,
need someone they can relate to, Father,
And, you know, someone to relate to them,
Um, there's a concert happening,
er, on Christmas Eve, in here,
Um, do you think you'd be able to bring the men?
Maybe they,,, they would accept an invitation
- if it came from you, - [Noel] Ah,,,
Don't,,, don't answer now,
I'm just,,, putting it into the universe,
No, no, Righto,
I'll spread the word,
