BILLY: Look, my parents have put up with a lot from you, OK, all they wanted was a little bit of honesty! But you weren't only dishonest with yourself, you made me look like a liar as well!
TOADIE: I'm sorry, mate.
BILLY: No, mates just don't do that to mates, OK? For all I know, this could just be another big act as well.
TOADIE: No, it's not.
BILLY: So you say. I don't trust you anymore, Toad.
TOADIE: But we're friends!
BILLY: Well, maybe our friendship's just gone past its use- by date. Go find some other sucker.

He walks away.

BILLY: No, Caitlin, I've told you - just friends.
CAITLIN:(pause) Whatever.

There is another pause.

BILLY:(pulling away) I mean it.

Billy awkwardly tells Toadie that he doesn't want him to go - he was just mad yesterday and has calmed down a bit today. He's got problems and needs a mate. Toadie says he was freaked out by the muck- up day stuff and didn't know how to sort it out. Billy tells Toadie that he's only human, and accepts his apology. They shake hands.

They talk about Anne and James and Toadie says he's heard the "street-talk" that Anne and James went to the movie premiere together last night.

BILLY: I think I'm in love with two women at once.
TOADIE: Oooh. Bigamy. I like it!
