Young Joe
Hey.
Hi. [Joe kisses her on cheek] Hmm.
Young Joe
What are you doing? Say hello to Mummy. [Guides her head] Martha. Go on. Say hello. It's okay.
Can I get a hug?
Young Joe
Go on.
Oh! Mmm.
Are you home now, Mummy?
I'm home today.
Can you wash my hair after dinner?
Mm-mmm. I can't stay for dinner, baby. I've got to get on a plane.
Oh, okay.
But I brought you presents, okay? And fancy dresses. These. Hi. Yours!
...
You awoke the tickle monster. There's a tickle monster in town. Bianca? Do you want me to help you do up your buttons in the back?
No.
Okay. Show me your dress. Oh! So pretty. [Kisses Bianca on lips] Mwah!
Young Joe
Leda. Can I talk to you?
Sure.
...
Young Joe
Please. Please. Don't do this. What do you need? Do you need me on my **** knees? Do you need me to cut my balls off? What do you need? Tell me. Have you got his **** in your mouth? You can't answer me?
Joe, this has nothing to do with that.
Young Joe
Oh, **** me? **** me?
I left him.
Young Joe
You left him? Congratulations, baby. You're an expert now, huh?
I don't see why not?
Young Joe
Do you think I'm a **** idiot? Huh? Am I an arsehole? [Repeatedly] Please. Come on. They're little **** girls. How am I supposed to do this?
Joe, I'm feeling dizzy. [Walks off]
Young Joe
I'm taking them to your mum's. I can't handle this.
No you're not.
Young Joe
Yeah.
You're threatening me?! That is revenge! That's ****... lazy. You bring them back there, and they're going to sink back into that black shithole. All that ****... SHIT...! that I came from. I do think you're an arsehole. [Walks away]
Young Joe
My mother didn't finish school.
Oh, **** so what? [Disappears under door drape]
