Episode 8. This is my brother
ANNE goes to SARAH’s house for lunch.
ANNE arrives in a taxi.
TAXI-DRIVER Here we are.
ANNE How much is that?
TAXI-DRIVER That’ll be seventeen-fifty thanks love.
She gives him twenty dollars
ANNE Keep the change.
TAXI-DRIVER Thankyou. Have a nice day.
ANNE walks towards the house and knocks.
The door is opened by a little girl (LOUISE).
ANNE Hello. I’m Anne.
Louise turns and runs.
LOUISE Mummy!
SARAH comes to the door.
SARAH Come in Anne!
ANNE What a beautiful house!
SARAH It’s been a lot of work, but we’re getting there. This is the bathroom. This is my daughter’s bedroom. And here’s the kitchen.
Louise is in the kitchen ‘helping’.
SARAH Anne’s here. You’ve met my daughter Louise.
ANNE Hello Louise.
LOUISE I’m helping.
ANNE Yes, I see…
SARAH And my husband Mark.
ANNE Hello again.
Mark pretends to have a pain in the back.
ANNE Ooh! Sorry about my heavy bag.
MARK Just kidding.
SARAH But you haven’t met my little brother. This is Steve.
STEVE I was going to pick you up this morning. You wouldn’t let me.
ANNE I’m sorry. I like to find my own way around.
STEVE No worries. Maybe another time.
ANNE Yes, maybe
SARAH Come on. Let’s go outside.
Episode 9. The most beautiful city
They have lunch and talk about differences.
STEVE So Anne, have you been to an Australian home before?
ANNE No, never. It's a beautiful home Sarah. So big! The rooms are much bigger than at home. There's more space here.
STEVE Do you live in a house?
MARK No Steve – she lives in an igloo.
ANNE Actually, no. We live in an apartment. Most people do. Singapore is much busier than Adelaide, and more crowded.
STEVE Yeah, and more exciting. It's so boring here.
SARAH It's quieter. Some people like that.
ANNE I don't think it's boring.
MARK Adelaide is a very beautiful city. It's a better place to live than anywhere else I've been.
SARAH But you haven't been anywhere. (to ANNE) Mark hates travelling. I love it.
MARK I just don't see the point of it.
ANNE What about you Steve? Do you like to travel?
STEVE Yes. Yeah, I've been to Kula Lumpur, and to Bali. Bali's great!
LOUISE I've been to the zoo!
They laugh. ANNE smiles
ANNE You're lucky. I haven't been to the zoo. I'd love to go to the zoo.
STEVE I'll take you!

SARAH Anne! What’s the matter?
ANNE There’s something I haven’t told you.
SARAH What is it?
ANNE When I met your brother, I was thinking about my brother, David. I haven’t seen him in two years.
SARAH How come?
ANNE He’s missing. One reason I came to Australia is to find him.
SARAH I’m so sorry. Have you had any luck?
ANNE Not yet. I’ve hired a private investigator.
SARAH Goodness! Do you think he’ll find him?
ANNE Perhaps. I don’t know. It’s been a long time since David last called.
SARAH What do you think’s happened to him? Have you any idea?
ANNE I really don’t know. I can’t help thinking the worst.
SARAH I’m sure he’s alright. If something bad had happened, you would have heard.
ANNE I guess so. I suppose you’re right.
But ANNE doesn’t look convinced.

SARAH Sure. I’d love to. Anything.
She looks closely at the photograph.
SARAH He’s very good looking. Such a nice smile. Is he tall?
ANNE Fairly tall.
SARAH He looks very fit. Does he play a lot of sport?
ANNE No, he used to.
SARAH What does he do? Is he a student?
