Not only did they pass
the law;

:11:03
they've made it
retrospective.

:11:05
Oh.
:11:06
Will you run that
by me again in English?

:11:09
Well, it just means
that gay couples

:11:11
can get all the rebates
of regular couples,

:11:13
and they can claim them
for up to five years back.

:11:17
If I can go back
to an earlier question,

:11:20
what's it got to do
with us?

:11:23
Mate, if I can get
those same tax breaks

:11:26
for the last five years,
:11:26
I could write off so much tax,
I'd be laughing.

:11:29
Hey, you could even
claim me as a dependent.

:11:32
We'd both come out in front.
:11:36
But how can we do that?
:11:36
Well, it's simple.
:11:40
We just become gay.
:11:44
No!
:11:45
No, no, no, no.
:11:47
How many times
do I have to tell you?

:11:49
We just say we are.
:11:50
There's no physical.
:11:51
(Ralph)
Hey, Harry.

:11:53
No.
:11:55
What's wrong
with you, Ralph?

:11:56
I mean, this is
our big chance

:11:58
to really turn things
around for us.

:11:59
We could split our incomes,
claim spouse benefits.

:12:01
Hey, we could probably even
set up a family trust.

:12:05
You're not listening
to me, Vince.

:12:07
I don't want anyone
thinking I'm a poof.

:12:10
You're on the house here, boys!
:12:11
Right ho, mate!
:12:12
No, not poofs, mate...
same-sex couple.

:12:15
That's what they call it
these days.

:12:17
Same-sex couples.
:12:17
I don't care
what they call it.

:12:20
I don't want to be one!
:12:22
(Vince)
We'd just be pretending,

:12:24
for goodness sake.
:12:25
What's your problem?
:12:26
(Ralph)
I just wouldn't feel
comfortable with it.

:12:28
I mean, I've got nothing
against them personally.

:12:31
Good luck to them.
:12:32
But I wouldn't
want them near me,

:12:33
much less going around
saying I was one.

:12:35
There's a word for you,
Ralph: Homophobic.

:12:39
(Ralph)
Yeah?

:12:40
Well, there's a word
for you too, mate:

:12:43
Out of your bloody mnd.
:12:45
Have you any idea
:12:46
what the reaction would be
around here

:12:48
if people thought
we were a pair of pansies?

:12:50
"Same-sex couple," Ralph.
:12:53
Take Big Red,
for instance.

:12:54
He'd laugh us out of town.
:12:57
Not everyone in town
is as close-mnded
