- Sam: I didn't know there were any unwritten rules of the moral code of mateship.
- Danny: Oh yeah, they're the biggies. No sleeping with a mate, no sleeping with a mate's girlfriend, no urinating on a mate's car. It's column of...” (continue)(continue reading)

Let's just get this straight. You're 20-something years old, you have no job, no money, very few prospects.

“I've been ripped off, raided, threatened, burned out, shot at, cheated on, scabbed in every one of those years. My beds are foam slabs on the floor, my cupboards are stacks of stolen milk crates! I've lived with tent-dwelling bank clerks, albino moon tanners, nitrous suckers, psycho fucking drama queens, acid eaters, mushroom farmers, fucking...” (continue)(continue reading)
