EXTRACT: There. That's better. That's a good girl. Go to sleep now. Mummy's got all those beautiful plums to stew up. Yes she has. Lots of big, juicy plums. Beautiful! That's what's so good about this place, bub. Plenty of fresh tucker, eh? Not like that lousy Home and all that rotten porridge. What's that? Reckon it shows? Reckon I'm putting on weight? What are you grinning at? You're meant to be asleep. You laughin' at your silly mummy? Just you wait, you're going to love it here, you are. Down the swimmin' hole, swingin' off the rope...

EXTRACT: This fella I was workin' for, his son is a bit of a lad. Known to go off the rails from time to time. Anyway, one night we were sittin' round a fire playin' a bit of poker and I was startin' to hit a bit of a purple patch. Started cleanin' everyone out. In the end it was only me and the young bloke left. Well, he reckoned he had had a pretty good hand so he put the lot on it. I reckoned I could match him so I raised him, but he was broke...

EXTRACT: Bloody chooks! Get out of here. Go on. Get out of it. Get back in your yard. What do you think this is? Messin' up my yard. You don't belong out here. You know that! Go on. Get back where you belong. I'll sool them mangy dogs on to you. I will. Get back in there and lay a few decent eggs for a change. Can't be bothered. Can't be bothered anymore. I'm no bloody good to you anymore. No I'm not. Look at me. Look at me girl.
