baa baa black sheep

"I've had it all, man." Ange, talking hair. "I've had Cassy's length--"
"Really?" Suzi is shocked.
"Yeah, rock star!" Ange affirms.
"Did you wear flannies back then?"
"Y-yes..." Ange quietly.
"Why did you say it like that? Sheepishly?" Cassy asks.
"Because I like... sheep."

ange's last stand

“Go out, get para…” Ange’s advice for a slow Tuesday night.
“I don’t know if that’s a good idea…” Cassy warily.
“Well don’t get para, get half-para – like a half-marathon.”

“What actually happened? Was there smoke, or…?”
Rubesch surveys the plastic shell that was Andy’s computer.

“Smoke? I wish!” Ange enthuses.

Ange is singing the praises of buying full price shoes at the Converse Store vs DFO. There are countless more designs to choose from, the only catch is the price.

“Yeah, but $250?" Cassy needs some more convincing before she will abandon DFO. "That’s a weekend at Meredith right there…”

“Well you can’t compare it to running nude, I guess…” Ange concedes.

angeisms

“He used to cop it at school, the canteen lady used to write ‘Coon’ instead of ‘Con’, he used to crack it…”
Ange laughs at the memory of his brother's tuck shop angst

“I don’t blame him," Cassy sympathises. "Did she learn eventually?”

“Hey, she was working in the kitchen with the cheese and stuff, it’s an easy mistake.”
Ange, suddenly conciliatory

***

“I use ‘Ange’ on my license, is that a no-no?
“I don’t think so, as long as you use your real name on your passport. What do you use on your passport?”
“Ange-lo.”
“So what’s your real name?”
“I don’t know…”

After Ange shares the heartbreaking true story of his pet dog who was poisoned by angry neighbours when Ange was just 12, Sim mentions a pet cat she had who died from eating snail pellets.

“Cats don’t bark...” Ange, confused

“Move your guns!” Sue to Ange

getting to know you, getting to know all about you...

Leigh-Ann: So what do you do, Ange?
Ange: Junk mail.

Later…

Cassy: Hey Ange, do you get offended by ‘No Junk Mail’ signs?
Ange: Nah, I just rip ‘em off. I run past 1000 houses a day, just ripping ‘em off…
