(phone ringing) Hello. Okay. Bye. (talking in headphones) Shut up Reece. You know that t equals one, right? And then you put one there. How does it turn into that? - Negative 20. - Negative 20 times one. - Equals negative 20. - Isn't that 10? - It's a two. - Oh shit. - I thought you had 10 the whole time bro. I was so confused. - That's why you were saying 10. - Yeah, I was like, wait what? So it's negative 20. Negative 20 equals... 30. - I don't know if you can read. (laughing) - Line! - Matthew, how are you not out? - No, no, no, he's out. - How are you not out? - That's a lob, that's a lob. Anyway, thank you. Hi, Westminster Takeaways. - Give me one second dear. - $35.30 please. - I pass the phone for the boy, okay? Egg order. - Hello? - Order for Jess? - [John] Jesse. - Jesse. - Sorry, there was two Steves. Sorry. - That's alright. - Bit of a rush. (phone ringing) - Any idea how much longer? - I'm saying, is this one hoki? This whole thing? One hoki, battered. - Ah, quite heavy. - Perfect, thank you. - How did you get the easy job? - Box. - Hello! - [Teacher] So today we've got Burnside High School going against Ashburton High. Then we've got the B side going against Avonside Girls. Good luck everyone. - How do they not have a Jungler? I wish I was B team, bro. I'd play with one eye closed and probably still beat them. - Please... yes! (applause) - Easy. Nice. - Keep going man. I'm with you, I'm with you. Nice bro. Let's go! Come on, let's go. Come on, come on. I'm with you, I'm with you. - I went to my aerobic system, fully bro. - Reflection? (laughing) And now we out bro. - That was amazing. - Press the button and we're out of here bro. You can press the button. - Thank you. Ma... - You come early today. - Yeah, played tennis. - Oh... Thank you, have a good one eh. - Ai ya! So cold, so tired. - Oh my fucking goodness.
