'Last night was amazing,' Shaun says, stepping onto the platform at Bankstown. 'I never knew you were a comedian.'

'I'm a lot more than that,' I say with a shrug. 'Wouldn't pick it, huh? Way I act at school and all.'

'Ha. But last night you were uncut. Jackson, I think I've got an idea.'

'What?'

'Look: I'm proud to say that I never watched a single episode of Big Brother when it was on the telly. But I'm thinking that the creators were actually pretty clever. They knew what people wanted to see and they gave it to them: ordinary, everyday people. They knew what people wanted to hear and gave it to them: the ordinary thoughts of ordinary people, of those who don't usually have a voice. Now Adrian, Ben, Jamie, and I, along with Shelly and Jerri, have been writing about our experiences, writing down our thoughts, our ideas, everything: maybe these are like transcripts for some strange Big Brother set within a high school. But what you have in your experiences, your thoughts, your soliloquies, is Big Brother Uncut, know what I'm saying? People might actually want to listen to your voice.' - Shaun shrugs - 'I know I do.'

‘Like a worm, under remote control, I’mma crawl into their vaginas and rest on their clits, still they're screaming with ecstasy.'

'What! What the . . .?'

'Imagine that,' I say. 'Imagine we had these sexy little worms we could control remotely. We could make them crawl up the legs of girls, into their vaginas, and onto their clits, and then we could watch as they cum, in full view of everyone inside some supermarket, or on the busy streets of Sydney . . .'

'Maybe that's a little too uncut.'

'Stitch my thoughts up a little?'

'Yeah. Maybe.'

'Ha ha. So why are we in Bankstown?'

'Don't know,' Shaun says, shrugging. 'The Centro's not bad, it's got a few good restaurants. Dude, this place is totally multicultural, just like the joint you took me to last night.'

'Yeah,' I say, nodding. 'Must have talked to at least five girls who were from around here. This place is totally hot.'
