EXTRACT: He walks in there one night, he's got a quarter kilo of coke in his fuckin' handbag. He doesn't make any approaches. Next night he walks in and he's bought his 'girl' a new bracelet, with diamonds all over it. He stays tight. He gives nothing away. He knows an opportunity when he sees one. It's like a secret code. Money attracts money. It's the same with everything.

EXTRACT: I went picking peaches after that. I had my first screw under a peach tree. She had rotten peaches squashed all over her arse. We hosed each other down at the water tank afterwards. I gave her the snake skin belt the day I left 'cause she said she liked it. I never been back to that place. I wish I hadn't gave her that snake skin belt. It was beautiful.

EXTRACT: Sometimes I get this feeling that I'm not living the right life, I mean this life I'm living isn't mine... it belongs to somebody else. Like sometimes I think what things would be like if certain things hadn't happened, I mean if I didn't let them happen to me. I know I shouldn't have let them happen, but I did, and because I did this life I'm living isn't mine.(Pause) This other life, this one I think I should be living, it may not be a better life, but it would be mine...

EXTRACT: Jesus Christ it pisses me off! All that shit they give you. 'Have you tried to find work?' Yes I have. 'What kind of work have you been looking for?' I want to be a Private Detective. 'But it says here you are an unskilled labourer.' I am trying to better myself.(Pause) The human body is a strange but perfect thing, Bill. You ever thought about it?
