l couldn't
handle it anymore, man.
lt was like the fucking army
in there.
When they said
l'd have to make my own bed,
l didn't know they meant...
MAKE my own bed, you know?.
Like, out of twigs and shit.
Shit.
Mr Dostoevski, l presume?
l've just been reading
one of your novels, Feodor.
What did you think?
Bit depressing, actually.
l was going through
a dark period.
Had to brush up on all my
pop culture references, Feodor.
Or is it Bragg?
Or maybe it just all adds up
to one Robert J. Corcoran.
Tea?
Letters
for the oppressed minority.
That's not funny, Taylor.
Gay men aren't dying, you know.
What exactly does it mean,
''gay men''?
$7,257 on rent and damages
to a house in Brisbane,
$8,329 owing
to a Melbourne casino,
and $9,392
in credit card fraud.
Leaves a grand total
of $24,979.
They are, like, very fit,
aren't they?
They are all very, very fit.
lt's a summons, Corcoran.
You're due to appear
at Darlinghurst District Court
tomorrow at 1 0am.
Fucking little faggot!
Don't be late, Corcoran.
You can't afford
any more fines, can you?
SONG:
§ Shout, ''Man overboard''... §
They're going
to send me away, Flip.
No, it's not going
to happen, man.
You're the only one.
Only one what?
The only one not into it.
lnto what?
Well, they said at the farm
that l had to find
someone who's not into it
to hang out with.
When l checked it out, man,
everyone's into it.
Seems like
it's an absolute must-have
to have on the CV, you know?.
And you're the only one.
Only one not into it.
They're not going
to send you away.
Been going through
a lot of emotions and stuff.
You know, like...
crying and stuff?.
Been thinking
a lot about things.
Like l was sitting in
the common room the other day
watching a video and stuff,
and this...
..video came on with a band
and an orchestra and shit.
And the tears just started
pouring out of me, mate.
l mean...
..the way those cloths
floated downwards and stuff.
Even though we didn't
hang out together much,
l really appreciated
you being there.
lt was really great.
You're not upset with me,
are you, mate?
l just didn't realise
how heavily into it l was.
Want to know
what the worst thing is?
l can't get an erection.
Can't get an erection, mate.
lt's the...medication,
you know?.
l love you, mate.
l love you too, Flip.
l'm going to get
something to eat. You want?
Oh, jeez, l got the horn!

SONG: § Golden brown,
texture like sun
§ Lays me down,
with my mind she runs
§ Throughout the night
§ No need to fight
§ Never a frown
with golden brown
§ Every time just like the last
§ On her ship tied to the mast
§ To distant lands
§ Takes both my hands
§ Never a frown
with golden brown... §
Flip, turn the fucking TV off!
People are trying to sleep.
Flip, have some fucking
consideration!
( MUSlC STOPS )
For Christ's sake, Flip!
Flipster?
Shitload of paperwork
here, mate.
Shitload.
Must have happened right
in the middle of the Top 1 00.
Just like a junkie, eh?
He'll never know what hit
number one now, will he, eh?
(Snorts)
Typical bloody junkie.
Did you know he was a junkie?
Don't touch anything
until the lab boys arrive.
Never know with these junkies.
Mmm, you never know.
And don't eat the felafel.

What's that mean?
Flip.
Flip's dead.

TAYLOR: To Flip!
ALL: To Flip!
SONG: § l don't believe
in an interventionist God... §
See you around, dude.
§ But l know, darling,
that you do... §
Just some buds, bud.
§ But if l did, l would
kneel down and ask him... §
The essentials of life,
little buddy.
§ Not to intervene... §
Greater love
hath no man, Flipmeister.
§ Not to touch
a hair on your head
§ Leave you as you are
§ lf he felt
he had to direct you
§ Then direct you
into my arms... §
See you, Flip.
