I could have dropped it at the ute, um... -Wait, you think I stole it?
-No, I didn't say that.
I said it was missing.
Have you been taking Taylor's pain medication?
-She wasn't using them, and I was in pain after the Christmas party.
-Have you taken any more since?
-I haven't taken fentanyl, if that's what you're suggesting.
Eliza, you know I didn't take it.
Alright.
If it's missing, I'm sure we'll find it.
But, as you know, it's a drug of dependency, and we have to do everything officially.
-We're just worried about you.
-Oh, now you're worried.
You got a real shit way of showing it, Matty.
-Oh, come on, that's -- -Okay.
I think you'll have to take some time off until we figure out what's happened.
We've got a lot of eyes on us at the moment.
-So, you're suspending me because of your contract tender.
-No, I'm following procedure until we figure this out.
-Okay, well don't bother.
I quit.

I ended up giving evidence for Owen.
And it's unofficial, but I found out today that they're downgrading his charges.
-Why'd you do it?
-Because it's the truth!
-Yeah, but why was it up to you?
You shouldn't have gotten involved.

And then you say something like that, and I'm just not sure.

It's not a jealousy thing.
I don't know, maybe it is a little bit, but it feels bigger than that.
Like, she's incredible, and -- -Miz, I have no idea where this is coming from.

And you're Timmy's sister.
And you're Darren's stepmum.
And I adore you.
And you kind of ruined it now, because I had this whole thing planned.
I was gonna fly over dad's country, and now the whole thing just feels like a knee jerk reaction to this, but, you know what, bugger it.
