Quotes
-
Hec : Me and this fat kid / We ran we ate and read books / And it was the best.
-
Hec : Pretty majestical, aye?
Ricky Baker : I don't think that's a word.
Hec : Majestical? Sure it is.
Ricky Baker : Nah, it's not real.
Hec : What would you know?
Ricky Baker : It's majestic.
Hec : That doesn't sound very special, majestical's way better.
-
Hec : Sam, what's the fastest way out of here?
Psycho Sam : Jetpack.
Ricky Baker : [excited] Do you actually have a jetpack?

Ricky Baker : Here we go. Reckon you can handle it?
Hec : What do you think? Reckon you can find that bird?
Ricky Baker : Yeah, I think I know where it is.
Hec : Seem to remember it was a pretty beautiful place.
Ricky Baker : Yeah, majestical. Come on, let's go. Don't slow me down, old fella.
Hec : You keep up with yourself, young player. Get in my way I'll have your guts for garters.
Ricky Baker : I honestly don't know what "guts for garters" is, so...
Hec : Those gangster talk.
Ricky Baker : Yeah, we didn't choose the Skux life.
Hec : The Skux life chose us.
Ricky Baker : Yeah.

Ricky Baker : We'll just tell them you were looking after me.
Hec : Doesn't matter what you tell them, they won't believe you. They'll think I made you do it. I'm not going back to jail, I'm better off up here. This is no place for a kid. You're gonna have to go back, Ricky.
Ricky Baker : To what?
Hec : To the welfare people.
Ricky Baker : No!
Hec : They'll look after you.
Ricky Baker : No, they won't!
Hec : They'll find you another home, you'll be fine.
Ricky Baker : You're not listening! Nobody listens! There's no more homes, just juvy!
Hec : What's juvy?
Ricky Baker : Juvenile prison. They don't care about kids like me, they just keep moving us around until something happens like... Amber.
Hec : Oh no, bugger then. Okay, okay. We're in about a million hectares of bush, that's big, it's big enough to hide in for a while, anyway.
Ricky Baker : Good enough for me.
Hec : But we're heading into winter. It's gonna be rough, no huts, no tents, real bush life. Can you handle that?
Ricky Baker : I can handle it.
Hec : Yeah. And if you play up, I dump you.
Ricky Baker : Okay, Uncle.
Hec : I'd still prefer if you don't call me Uncle.
Ricky Baker : Okay, Hec. So what do we do now?
Hec : We run.
[They run for a few seconds, then stop out of breathe]
Hec : Wait, wait wait. Maybe we don't need to run.
Ricky Baker : Oh yeah, let's just fast walk.

Hec : You can take him, but I'm staying here.
Hugh : Like hell. People want answers.
Ron : Yeah, answers.
Hec : Look, we got lost, I got injured, he's fine, it was basically a holiday.
Ricky Baker : Not a real holiday because he made me do stuff.
Hugh : Like what?
Ricky Baker : Just stuff. He had a sore leg so he made me do things for him. It was hard at first because my hands are so soft, but I got used to it. I didn't really wanna do it, but it was the only way to survive. It wasn't always hard, sometimes I got to do my own thing. He pretty much never joined in with me though. I asked if he wanted to play with me, but he would just make me play with myself.
Ron : I feel sick.
-
Hec : I've been to prison.
Ricky Baker : Gangster! For what?
Hec : Manslaughter.
Ricky Baker : Double gangster! You need a teardrop tattoo!
-
Ricky Baker : I ran out of toilet paper, give me some of yours.
Hec : Eh?
Ricky Baker : I've gotta poop. I need to poop, you need to poop, we all poop.
Hec : Use a leaf.
Ricky Baker : A leaf? Ugh! I hate you.
[Ricky walks away]
Hec : And bury it!
Ricky Baker : I'll bury you.
-
Hec : Shit just got real... again
-
Hec : [meeting Ricky] You ever worked on a farm before or you just... ornamental?
-
Ricky Baker : Shit just got real
Hec : Yeah shit just got real
