# Check my phone... #

Julia, can you get Nathan to turn the music down?

Nathan, Mum said turn it down!

He's deaf. How is he going to hear it? He's got to have it up loud.

-Nathan, turn the music down!

-Nathan!

-My goodness!

Nathan! Turn the fuckin' music down!

-Fuck off!

-I don't know how to do it.

Mum said, dickhead.

'Last night was pretty fun, right? Nath's in so much trouble, but.'

..Doing what Mum asked you to do, dickhead!

'Cos me and my mates are in town, right,

and Nathan wanted to come in too, cos he wanted to make a YouTube video.

Cos Nath, he really likes that S.mouse song, "Poo On You",

and he wanted to do, like, a tribute video,

where he pooed on a police car.

And, like, we didn't think there were any witnesses and that,

but there must have been witnesses cos the cops came round here,

and they were like, "Oh, we know Nath did it."

And Mum started crying and that.

Like, when the cops went, Mum's, like, bawling about it.

Oh, yuck!

'They could arrest him, unless we agree to let the welfare people come over.'

Cos they reckon cos Nath's deaf and, um, retarded,

that he might be getting neglected.

Not a good night. Um... Nathan's got himself into trouble again.

He's been listening to rap music,

and he just gets these really dumb ideas.

Mum, Nathan's listening to it on his iPod!

-Nathan!

-Fuck off!

Nathan! Nathan, take those...

'So we've agreed to let Family And Community Services people come around.'

They just want to see how well we're looking after Nathan.

Nathan, you are banned from listening to this crap.

I'm sick of it!

'Yeah, I just feel like I'm losing control sometimes.'

Stupid bloody crap!

Another one. Another one over there.

I don't give a fuck!

No more bloody S.mouse!

# You at the animal zoo

# I said you at the animal zoo

# I love the zoo... #

Now, the kids, they are listening to my music and they is inspired.

Them kids want to go do stupid things

and get themselves in trouble, then that's not my fault.

You know what I'm sayin'? I'm just the artist.

I just create art, you know.

This is S.mouse, S-dot-Mouse,

a legend in hip hop.

I'm the king in hip hop.

I'm the voice of my generation.

Yeah! Cut that shit.

Yeah, this is S-dot-mouse - S.mouse -

with some very important information.

I want you to get your elbows out, and slap them.

# Slap my elbow You do it like this

# Slap my, slap my elbow You do it like this

# Slap my el, slap my bow

# Slap my el, slap my bow

# Slap my el, slap my bow

# Slap my el-bow

# Slap it on the right

# Slap it on the left... #

We had this catchy little song with a dance number that went with it.

Bow Wow refused to release it because to be honest, he thought it was shit.

S.mouse was...

He was in the right place at the right time.

# Now I'm-a show you How to slap my elbow... #

Initially I called him Mouse, because that name had tested really well

and then we got threatened with legal action because there was a rapper, Mouse, in Detroit.

So we added the S. S-dot-mouse equals S.mouse, which was my idea.

When I first came up with my name,

I wanted something powerful, you know?

Something that was going to cut through from the rest of the bunch.

S-dot-mouse,

it's a revolutionary name, you know why?

Cos it got punctuation in the middle of it.

You don't often see that shit, you know?

And it's the word, you know, you immediately think a mouse,

and that don't seem like a big animal, but you know what?

People motherfuckin' scared of mice.

We've got to get that chorus right.

Jump Roc contacted me

and he said he had this artist he wanted me to manage.

Shwayne, that's his real name... He couldn't dance very well

and he wasn't good looking.

I think he was 24 at the time and they needed him to be 17.

And I thought, "That's cool. We can do that."

S.mouse, terrific, man, really. Beautiful, work.

'We worked up some tracks.

'The label wanted to lead with Slap My Elbow, which I felt was the strongest track of those sessions.'

The whole idea of this crazy kid just tellin' everyone to "smack their elbow."

It just didn't... It blew me away.

'After I dropped my first single, the kids, they loved that shit.

'They couldn't get enough of me.

'You know, the biggest selling hip-hop single of all time.'

# Stand to Get your elbow ready... #

S.mouse, he just took off.

Westpoint Shopping Mall, yeah, yeah!

'He became very famous very quickly.'

I got a question for y'all.

Who wants to slap their elbows?

The whole thing was a phenomenon.

Everyone was doing the Elbow Slap.

When you've got kids, parents, grandparents,

all lovin' the one song, you got yourselves a hit

and you know what else you got? Money.

Cos hit songs make a lot of money.

Welcome to my crib. I buyed my shit, you know.

I buyed my house, I buyed my cars, I buyed my jewellery,

my shoes, my clothes.

All the shit that you need when you got a lot of money.

-Hey, ladies.

-Yeah.

-Yeah.

So we decided to release the second single,

Animal Zoo, which...

nobody liked.

# You at the animal zoo

-# I said you at the animal zoo

-I love the zoo

# It's the animal zoo

# The animal zoo

# I said you at the animal zoo... #

After I dropped my second single, Animal Zoo,

you know, the critics, they started to diss me, you know.

And I stand by my statement that

that song was equally as strong lyrically as Slap My Elbow.

# That panda That horse

# That hippopotamus

# You gotta walk like an elephant Run like a beaver...#

Zoo was disappointing, numbers-wise, but we went ahead and released the album, Chocolate Boy.

The physical and digital sales were really good.

That's when the critics pounced.

They said it was "hip hop for kids".

It was "manufactured",

it was "too repetitive".

# I slap my el, slap my bow Slap my el... #

I'm revolutionising my art form. There ain't no-one doin' this shit,

no-one ever done this shit,

And that's why I made my impact, you know what I'm sayin'?

# All them African zoos England zoos

# There's zoos all over the world

# You gotta get to a zoo. #

Then the VMAs happened

and S.mouse lost out on the Best Newcomer Award.

He didn't handle things the right way.

All you judges, all you assholes who made this decision,

you all is dumb-ass motherfuckin' dumb assholes. Yeah.

"You all is dumb-ass motherfucker dumb assholes",

didn't do him any favours.

I mean, you just do not cuss in front of the kids.

For a while there, he was the laughing stock of the industry.

But despite that,

the public still really loved him.

I mean, it's like he could do no wrong.

If y'all love S.mouse, say "Yeah!"

'In all my years as a manager,'

I have never come across

such an incredibly gifted and talented young man as S.mouse.

We've just got to keep this train rolling.

Thank you all for comin', yeah!

# Kick yo' ass, kick yo' ass Kick yo' ass... #

Boys! Fellas!

'The boys are very excited cos we've just found out that Cameron's got an early release.

'He's done his time and the boys are all over the moon.'

Hey, Cameron, when do you get out?

'It's a double-edged prong because for a lot of the boys,'

it really hits home that they're still in here, and that can be hard.

Hey Gran! Can we get KFC tonight to celebrate Cameron leaving?

-No, no, no.

-How about we ask Gran's Magic eight Ball?

No, we had KFC last...

'But for me, you know, I'll miss them,

'but I'm thrilled that they're getting on with their lives.

'And I've always got my new intakes to keep me on my toes.

Hello, young fellow.

I'm Gran. Welcome to Garingal.

Out you come.

We're here to look after you. Thanks, guys.

All right, we'll get you inside, get those cuffs off when we get in.

That sun's coming out, isn't it? Turn around, please.

Give you a bit of breathing space there.

Talib Wauperi. 15 years of age. Non-parole. Case pending.

Grab those clothes, please.

'Yeah, we have a high-risk detainee here.'

This fellow's been in and out of the system for quite some kind time now.

He's a victim of abuse himself, which is sad. Stepfather in jail for that.

Repeated sexual offences on animals.

On parole. He's been busted wanking a dog.

Well, that's, um...

Whatever floats your boat there.

We'll, uh, certainly need to make sure the other boys don't find out about this one.

Oh, don't you look handsome in your uniform.

No? OK.

Come on. You're not going to talk, are you?

Well, this is going to be interesting, isn't it?

We think that's a really good place.

It would be residential in Adelaide.

So he, um... He would actually have to stay there full time?

'We had the welfare people come over, talk to Nathan and stuff,

'cos about him pooing on the car and getting heaps busted and all that.'

-He pissed on the bottle shop sign heaps of times, no-one cared.

-Daniel, shush.

-Well, it's true.

He obviously comes from a loving and supportive family.

The concern is that his hearing isn't going to get better...

'And they came up with this bullshit idea

'of sending Nath to a deaf school in Adelaide for deaf kids.'

Shit idea.

There is a big focus on careers, so that he will definitely be employable.

He doesn't need a job.

-He's going to be working on the farm with me, so...

-Daniel!

Well, he doesn't need a career when he's got a job with me on the farm.

-Daniel, just shush, please. It's not about you.

-All I'm saying...

well he's my brother, not yours.

-Sorry. He's my son, so shush.

-You shush.

-Anything you need, just give us a call.

-OK.

-Nath, don't bother reading that bullshit.

Fuckin' bullshit.

So, what, how long would he go for?

Well, they said it was a two-year course, didn't she?

That's bullshit. Two fuckin' years?

He'll learn to do sign language and at the end of it...

Who fuckin' needs sign language?

Well, it might help him, Daniel.

-Just...

-It's bullshit.

..try and go with it a little bit more.

-It's bullshit.

-It could be good for him.

-Nath! What do you want to do?

Do you want to go to deaf school, or do you want to work on the farm with me?

Danthan Industries, remember?

Nuh, doesn't want to go. He said he doesn't want to go, so...

-I don't think it's such a bad idea, Daniel.

-Well, there's no way he's going, so...

All he did was do a shit on a police car, anyway.

This is the ghetto where I used to chill as a kid.

'S.mouse always told me that he was from the hood.'

To survive, sometimes you've got to hustle.

'He was always telling me about stealing stuff for his family and being forced to hustle...'

It's a hard life for a young kid.

'I guess I just believed it.'

I never knew he was a rich kid from Calabasas.

Shwayne, or "S.mouse", as you call him,

he grew up as a rich-ass kid, OK?

Look at my place, man. I'm rich!

We get it, nigger!

You shut the fuck up.

You went to private white schools.

I gave you everything you wanted.

Whatever, whatever.

You ain't no motherfuckin' gangster!

When he was a little boy, he went to church with his mama

and he was singing in the choir like the biggest-ass sissy you ever seen in your life.

-Well, that's crap right there.

-Bullshit, quit lying. I was there.

I saw it. You was all, "Yeah, Lord, yeah, Lord" all gospel style.

That's shit right there.

And then he got into musicals.

I did not get into musicals.

Right. I was there, I remember.

You begged me for the "Wicked" Broadway cast recording.

-I did not want the "Wicked" recording.

-For your 14th birthday.

-You wanted to give me that shit, I did not want it.

-Bullshit!

-I didn't ask for that shit.

-Bullshit, man, you begged me for it!

For weeks you begged me for it. Danthony, am I lying?

You got a fictional mouth right there. You've got to shut that mouth.

-I remember that shit.

-Both you niggers shut your mouths!

S.mouse, like, he my boy and all, but he wasn't that cool at school, man.

-Fuck you.

-Yo, fuck yourself bro.

If I was a nerd at school, you was a nerd at school, motherfucker.

Yo, S.mouse used to wear these motherfucking tinted glasses though.

Yeah, for my dyslexia. It's a disability.

-I don't wear that shit no more.

-What is these, then? Where they at?

-Yeah, you can find 'em in there. Yeah...

-Oh, you ready for this?

-World exclusive, world exclusive.

-Shut the fuck...

-Put my fuckin' shit away.

-Bam!

-Put my shit away.

Whoo! Look at these.

-Put my motherfucking shit...

-What are these? I thought...

You want to go home again, get out of my house? You showin' off here.

-I'm tellin' it how it is.

-You keep showin' it off, you know where you're going to end up?

-In your own home. Cos I'm going to tell you to get out of my fuckin' house.

-All right, bro.

Shwayne wasn't exactly what you would hope a son would be.

When he became a superstar, you know, he...

That's when all the lies started.

That's when he started that bullshit about me being a drug addict.

Can you believe that shit?

That bullshit that I used to beat his ass. I should've beat his ass!

I'm a drug addict?! I ain't ever had a cigarette in my mouth.

Listen, motherfucker.

If you want to be boring, if you want to be an artist that is not interesting,

then you can just tell people normal shit.

"Oh, yeah, my daddy told me he loved me today."

"Oh, my daddy folded my underwear, yeah."

No-one wants to hear that shit.

Well, all I'm doin' is tryin' to deliver the shit that the fans want

and you diss me for bein' a liar,

then diss me for tryin' my hardest to entertain the kids.

It's the new boy!

-Hey, dog wanker!

-Woof-woof!

'Well, the boys have found out about Talib and his situation.'

Is this turnin' you on, bruz?

Yeah, so things are a little dicey in here at the moment.

Hey, doggy style!

Is this what the dog sound like when you rooted it? Bart!

Bottom line, the word's out that he's a dog wanker

and his life is not going to be easy in here.

Hey, bruz. Bruz, do you know Kylie? Yeah, she says she knows you.

Yeah, you know Kylie. She's from your area.

At the moment, the boys are trying to get him to admit that he knows Kylie.

It's their little code that they do.

They try to get you to admit that you know Kylie

and if you say you do, it means you're a coward or a pushover, or you're an easy target.

Doggy boy. Hey, you know Kylie, don't you?

Marlon and Jacob, shut the hell up! Leave him alone.

Hey, you know Kylie, don't you?

'The boys form these alliances in here,

'and they decide pretty much straight away

'whether the new guys are going to fit in or not.

'In here, it's pretty important to have your mates.' Random drug checks. Form a line.

Everyone in a line. You know what to do.

'Well, we do random drug checks on the boys.

'We bring in a sniffer dog to detect marijuana.'

Hey, watch your dog around him, he might get wanked.

Watch it, Marlon! You'll go straight to iso.

Behave yourself. Give me the dog.

-I don't want him to get wanked!

-He won't get wanked. Jesus Christ!

Shut up all of you, or you'll do early lockdown!

You'll be twiddling your thumbs for 18 hours on your own tonight.

Is that what you want?

Yeah, yeah, you know what, people have been hating on me a lot lately.

You know, and all them other rappers, they're all sayin' shit about me.

Sayin', you know, "You give hip hop a bad name", and "You the faggot of hip hop".

"Eat a dick, S.mouse" and...

"Die, asshole".

-Who said that?

-Ah, that was Jay Z.

-He said that?

-Yeah.

-But it's a constant problem, you know? It's a problem.

-It's hard.

I got an image... Even though I'm so popular,

I got an image of bein' a little bit of a faggot, you know what I'm sayin'? I'm not...

-It's fucked up.

-I'm not like that, you know. Cos you know what?

When my album broke, I got a lot of fans writing to me sayin',

"You, S.mouse, you've got to write some of your own shit," you know.

You've got to write some more gangster shit, you know?"

-But the problem is, I got a contract that says I can't cuss. You know what I'm sayin'?

-Exactly.

-It's bullshit.

-I can't cuss, you know?

It's the only thing. There's a lot that I can't say.

I can't portray the image that I want to portray. I'm limited.

And I thought, you know what I'm limited by?

A motherfucking record company,

and that company don't own my ass, I owns their ass!

If I can cuss, you know, imagine all the words I can use.

-I can use words like dick and poo and bitch.

-Asshole.

Asshole. Ass. Motherfucker.

-You got another vocabulary, you know what I'm sayin'?

-Shit, yeah.

You got a dictionary of words there that you can throw into some tracks that's going to blow people's minds

and realise that you are more thug than they thought you were.

Drum me a beat. Slow beat.

# Balls, balls

# I got big black balls

# Let me show you

# My big black balls.

# Yo' a bitch, yo' a bitch

# Yo' a big fat motherfucking bitch.

# Yeah, yeah

# Poo on you

# Poo on you

# Put my butt on your face

# And poo on you

# Dick on my shoulder

# Get your dick off my shoulder

# She said go to sleep And get your dick off my shoulder

# Put it away

# Put it away

# Put it away

# Put your motherfucking dick away Yeah. #

-Yeah.

-Yeah. Oh, that's the track.

-That was crazy.

-Yeah, man.

We worked out that track, Poo On You,

and we put that shit online.

We even made ourselves a motherfucking music video,

you know what I'm sayin'? Pirate style, without telling Jump Roc.

# Poo on you

# Poo on you

# Put my butt on your face

# And poo on you... #

We were pissed off, big time.

We tried to get as many illegal copies as we could

and shut down the websites.

# Everybody get down

# And let me show you some brown... #

It was a blatant breach of contract.

We were ready to roll the second album and that's not an image any of us want out there.

To all my fans, I deeply apologise for what happened...

'Jump Roc, they were pissed.'

'I had to do an online apology to my fans.'

Kids, you should never, ever poo on the hood of a car.

'Listen, that track got more motherfuckin' downloads'

than most of the shit on my album, you know what I'm sayin'? People love that.

The fans love that. It's a new direction.

-You've give kids somethin' new. Kids want cuss words.

-Hell yeah.

You know what I'm sayin'? You say "poo", you get a lot more buyers.

Well, you can't help but have your favourites.

There's certainly boys in the prison that I've got quite a rapport with.

But you know, you keep it professional when you're there.

The boys are there to serve their time and to be rehabilitated, not to be your friend.

Well, there was a young boy, many years ago now,

his name was Tony,

and he came in here, fish out of water.

Not a criminal, just a troubled young guy.

We formed quite a bond and he opened up to me,

and he unfortunately got himself into a lot of trouble while he was inside...

and he ended up in isolation for quite a few weeks.

I got myself on iso duty,

to make sure that I could keep an eye on the young bloke.

A lot of the officers thought he was a lost cause,

but I thought he was a lovely young fellow.

I was on iso duty at the time, actually, when it happened.

He'd snuck some sheets in.

The little bugger, he took his life.

He hung himself.

He didn't want the pain to go on.

And that knocked me around a bit, as you can imagine

and a lot of the others said, you know,

"We warned you, don't get too close.

"Be careful. Keep a distance from the boys if you can."

And... Yeah.

Anyway, that's all a little bit heavy, isn't it?

I don't know where that all came from.

How are you, sweetheart? Got enough food in there?

So, um...

we think we've made the right decision.

He's going to be going away to a special school.

-Daniel's not dealing with it well at all.

-So when's he going?

He leaves in about two months. Look, you can catch a train down and see him whenever you want to, Daniel.

I'm not fuckin' catchin' a train down.

I'll Grandma about it and she'll be fuckin' pissed off.

Well, what does Grandma know about the situation?

She fuckin' knows more than you two know about it.

-Mate, chill!

-She does.

-Your mum and I feel we're doing the right thing.

-How is sending him away the right thing to do?

-He's happy. Hey, Nathan?

-He's not fuckin' happy. Look at him.

-You're keen for deaf school, mate? Yep?

-Yep.

-Yeah.

He's getting an iPhone.

Yeah, Steve said he'd get him an iPhone if we went to deaf school.

You're going to buy him a fuckin' iPhone?

You're gong to fuckin' bribe him? You're a gay lord.

Nathan! Nathan!

Nath!

Nod your head if you don't want to go to deaf school. Just shake your head.

Yeah, he doesn't want to go. He just shook his head.

-He doesn't want to go to...

-Mate, it is too late.

-He's not goin'.

-OK? We've enrolled him. Calm down.

-It's the best thing for him,

-don't be so selfish...

-You're not the fuckin' dad anyway, and I'm the boss of Nathan. Nathan!

-Daniel!

-Steve!

-Nathan!

-He can't hear you.

-Steve, just leave him.

What the hell, Daniel, you dickhead!

-Look, Daniel's crying.

-I'm not fuckin' crying!

-You're so gay!

Do I look like I'm cryin'?

Why don't you go kill yourself, lezzo?

-Mum! Daniel called me a lezzo!

-Daniel!

Daniel, come back.

-What a retard.

-He's walkin' off.

There was more trouble.

The LAPD saw footage of S.mouse

in the act of actually defecating on the police car from his video.

-They were not happy.

-I got arrested for the incident pertaining to the Poo On You music video, yeah.

In particular, me taking a dump on the hood of the police car.

So I've got to do some house arrest for that shit.

I've got to spend two months in my parents house as part of my legal conditions.

And I've got to wear this shit so they can track me, yeah.

That's how much of a motherfuckin' criminal I am right now.

I want my PS3 in the living room.

He needs to come down out of the clouds. He needs to stop lying.

I mean, boy, you cannot shit on public property.

Straight to my bedroom with all that shit.

Despite the house incarceration,

we are full steam ahead on the second album.

Songs have been written. Tour, merch, it's all planned.

He's got two months here.

And I'm going to kick me some disciplinary ass.

I'm going to put my foot so far up his ass,

it's going to get in his eyeball.

I'm not going to be a kid artist. They ain't going to turn me into no-one.

I'm going to be slappin' no elbows for no motherfucker no more, you know what I'm sayin'?

To all you haters out there, all you niggers who said that I was the faggot of hip hop, yeah,

who's the motherfuckin' faggot now?

Shwayne!

Get off that fuckin' thing and empty the motherfuckin' trash like I told you to.

You in jail, motherfucker.

-Yeah, eat a dick, Dad.

-What?

-Nothin'!

You hearin' shit.

Hey, Gran, can you tuck me in?

I'm feelin' a bit lonely and I need a hand.

-Shut up, you two. Shut up.

-Ask the ladies!

Knock, knock.

Looks like you've got a visitor, Talib.

This is Kerrie-Anne.

Have a hold.

Give her a pat if you like, she's a little nervous.

Now, jammies. I've got the Shrek pyjamas,

or the zebra from Madagascar,

which I think might be the large, from memory.

The extra large, actually. So that's no good.

So you might have to go with Shrek.

Now is Mum sending in a doona, or...

No? Right. So, well, that'll go with the blue anyway, so that's nice.

Now you're not much of a talker, are you?

Well, that's all right, cos that one's not much of a talker either, so I'm quite used to that.

Hey, Gran? Hey, Gran? Do you know Kylie?

No, Marlon, I don't know Kylie.

-Do you?

-No, but, think you do, but.

Now I want you to get some rest tonight,

and tomorrow, I'd like you to try to get along with those other boys.

Cos if you don't, they're going to make your life hell in here, OK?

Just try for my sake.

Don't let him wank your guinea pig, Gran!

Ignore it.

Now, don't worry about them. I'll look after you.

That's my job, OK?

Now, pop those on, hop into bed

and have a good night's rest. Night-night.

-Goodnight, wrinkle face.

-Go blow your didgeridoo, Marlon.

Oh, good comeback, Granny.

We're thinking we're going to have, like, a massive farewell party.

Emily Chase's coming to your party, mate. Nathan! Nathan's Legendary Farewell Party.

-Do you think all these celebrities will come to Dunt?

-Who asked you, dickhead?

Blake is an absolute legend.

I reckon he's trouble.

-That's when I formed the Mucca Mad Boys.

-Oi, oi, oi!

He thinks he's this major hero in the local township, and he's actually a dickhead.

-He's borderline genius.

-He's not 15 any more.

-What happened that night changed Blake's life forever.

-That's when I knew I'd been shot in the balls.

We got all the shit that you need to keep yourself entertained while you're on house arrest.

I think this might be made by a retarded fan.

-Where the fuck you been?

-He says I'm a bitch, I say you can suck a dick. Yeah.

-Listen to your manager. Let him make decisions.

-He don't know shit!

It's our music video.

# Grandmother-fucker

# He's a grandmother-fucker.

They specifically told you...

-I know!

-not to put shit on the internet!

-I'm not your kid any more, I've flown the coop.

Fuck, Nath, you're going to go nuts.

Get off that goddamn thing! Come here!

Didn't hurt.

Do it again.

Didn't hurt.
