Joe is having another talk to Toby. Joe admits that he has been spoiling Sky a bit lately, but it doesn't mean he doesn't love Toby.

JOE: Doesn't mean I don't love you, mate. I love you heaps.
TOBY: Not as much as her.
JOE: I do! You're everything in the world to me!
TOBY: Well how come when I was a little kid like Sky, you were never around? You didn't care about me, that's how come.
JOE: Oh, Tobe. I regret taking off on you. If I had my time over it'd be different. I was young, mate, I didn't want the responsibility. I was a pretty rotten Dad, I know. So I'm trying to make up for it now. I'm stoked to get a second chance, mate. I'm really proud to have a son.
TOBY: Fair dinkum?
JOE: Yeah! Look, if it looks like I'm devoting more time to Sky at the moment, it's just because I can't be everywhere at once. I need you, Tobe.

Father and son hug.
