- [Ruby] Somebody's popular.

- No, it's just stuff for the play.

- Stuff for the play or is it Beth?

- No, it's, well yeah it is,

but it's about the play.

- So you patched things up then?

- Yeah, I guess.

Yeah, we had a big talk.

And, yeah, it seems to be going good.

- So this play, what's it even about anyway?

- Um, well it's, ooh, long story.

What isn't it about?

Um, it's kind of like a modern telling

of capitalism and its determent on society,

and it kind of delves into themes of identity,

and there are werewolves,

and there are other themes, love.

- Werewolves?

- Yeah.

- As in half human half dog shape beings?

- Yeah.

Well, specifically ballet dancing werewolves.

But, you have to have a level- - wow.

- Of like...

No, yeah, it makes sense.

You need to...

There's subtext in it,

and the symbolism and-

- Oh, 100%.

- It's actually, no it's actually really good.

- Well see I was even saying the other day

that we need more movies about-

- Ballerina werewolves.

- That sounds awesome really.

- Well, you should come.

I can get you a free ticket.

- I think I'm working,

but if things change 100%.

100% because honestly I would much rather be there,

that sounds sick.

If I am working,

I'll let you know.

- Yeah.

I'm directing so it's a pretty big role.

So it would be nice if you came.

- I can't cancel my shifts.

- Totally get it.

No, that's totally fine, yeah.

- [Wade] Thanks.

- For?

- Not throwing this out.

- Almost did.

- Why didn't you?

- Sometimes things seem like a good idea in the moment,

but you could have asked me yourself.

- What?

- If you really wanted to do the play.

- I did.

- Look, one minute you wanna be a musician,

the next you want a bloody nipple ring.

- Who says I can't do all that stuff?

- It's just at bit hard to keep up, that's all.

- I reckon I've been pretty consistent.

- With what?

- Hating footy.

- Yeah, well I'll give you that.

- Anyway, gotta go grab Kerri for rehearsals, so...

- How's it going?

- Bunch of amateurs.

- I still got a lot of stuff to do.

- Is this working for you?

- What?

- The play.

- Um, can you be more specific?

- Me, my character.

- Um, yeah, you're, you're doing great.

You're slaying.

- Really?

'Cause I don't get my character at all.

- What's there to get?

You're a werewolf who falls in love

with the one person who's destined to destroy them.

- It's ridiculous.

- It's a metaphor

for people from different cultures.

- I get that,

but it's so "Oh, I'd give up 100 full moons

"for one more second with you."

- It's romantic.

- [Wade] It's lame.

And Beth won't change anything.

- The play is tonight.

- You said I'd have full control.

- No, I said you can make suggestions

on the things that you wanted to change.

What do you want me to do?

- Read it.

- There's no time.

- So make time.

Thank you.

- Dude, chill.

- Dude, Beth doesn't wanna change anything.

- She's just particular.

- What's the point in having me involved

if you're not gonna use all of my talents?

- Singing, dancing, the bloody soundtrack,

how many jobs you want?

- You can keep lighting.

- Thanks.

What are you looking for anyway?

- A sword.

- For what?

- My new act two speech.

- Can't you do it without?

Guess not.

- You know what?

I'm just gonna tell them

if they're not gonna do it my way

I'm not doing it.

- Whoa, hey chill.

Calm.

- I am calm.

- You're just nervous.

- Oh, I'm terrified.

- This like that first night at the Queen Hotel.

- In what way?

- Stage fright.

- Stage fright?

- Yeah, as in you get cold feet last minute

even though you really wanna do something.

(lips smacking)

- Maybe it was stage fright.

- You don't seem afraid now.

- Lock the door.

(door closing)

- What you doing?

- Trying to take it all in.

- Yeah, it's gonna be a night you'll never forget.

- No, um, I mean this.

- I was gonna talk to you about that.

- Have you read it? - Vaguely.

He's changed almost every line.

- Yeah.

It's kind of like better.

- We have no time to learn this.

- I know, I know.

I just I wanna try.

He's so passionate.

- It's your play.

- Our play.

- Okay.

Don't worry, I'll sort it.

I mean it's my job right?

- As my girlfriend to go fight my battles for me?

- Um, I was gonna say as your director.

- Yeah.

- Break a leg.

- [Kerri] Hey.

I didn't think you'd make it.

- I had to see what you guys did with it.

- You're gonna love it.

- Yeah?

Did you change much?

- Mm.

(Beth laughs)

- We should probably head back.

- Yeah.

- You seem a bit calmer.

- Don't.

- Wonder if anyone noticed we were gone.

- Probably.

(door rattles)

How'd you lock this?

- I don't know, I just snibbed it shut.

- Seriously, what did you do?

- I don't get it, don't blame me.

- You've got to be kidding me.

- We'll phone 'em.

- Yeah, mine's in the dressing room.

- Ugh, mine's on charge.

(fist banging)

- Help.

- Hello.

- Hello could somebody let us out?

Help.

Hello.

- Maybe his phone's dead.

- Leo as well?

They left together.

- They wouldn't have just quit.

- It wouldn't be the first time.

- Leo is not like that.

- Lover's tiff.

- Where's Beth?

- She's making some last minute changes to her costume.

- We have to tell her.

- Sure, your co-stars walked,

so it's now a one woman show, good luck.

- I'll tell her.

- [Kerri] You can't.

- Why?

- Because she's put so much into this,

it'll braek her.

- I think she'll notice when the curtain raises,

and no one's on stage with her.

- Why don't you play Wolfeo?

- Me?

- It's your freaking story.

- Okay, sure.

- So you'll do it?

- Yeah, 'cause I went to dance school for years,

and just didn't tell anyone.

- [Kerri] Don't joke about this.

- You did, didn't you?

You did.

- For like two months when I was a kid.

- I think you just have to admit

the play's a total failure.

- Where have you been?

- I've been kind of panicking.

- First night nerves?

Yeah, they'll go away later.

- About that.

What was that for?

- Supporting me.

- What?

- I couldn't have done this without you.

- I'm not sure that's true.

- It is.

Encouraging me, finding the venue,

bringing it all together despite everything.

- Beth, I wanna-

- Just let me finish.

Okay?

- Okay.

- It means a lot, that's all.

Now go, go let me do my vocal warm up.

Go.

Red leather, yellow leather,

red leather, yellow leather,

red leather, yellow leather,

red...

Unique New York, unique New York.

- Hey, I know you don't wanna do me any favors,

but I would really like to save this play,

and Beth would really appreciate it,

and so would I.

So just give me a call back when you get this.

- Beth's still getting ready, what's the deal?

- I couldn't tell her, all right?

- Yeah, obviously.

- Look, I just need some more time

to call people.

- Who?

- I just left Georgie a voicemail.

- Good luck with that.

- Look, okay, instead of having a go at me,

could you just pick up your phone,

and start dialing?

- Who?

- Well maybe there's someone in your drama club.

- Who can instantly memorize lines

and just walk on stage?

- I can't tell her, it'll break her heart.

- Has Wade dropped out again?

- Beth wait.

- Just, I'll talk to her.

(gentle music)

- Hello, anyone.

- What's the point?

- Someone finds us.

Oh, what, you don't want them to?

- Did I say that?

- You're just impossible to read.

- Good.

- Is it?

- Can we just listen for someone coming?

- Do you like me?

- [Wade] No, I hate you.

- You act like it.

- When?

- Now.

- Seriously, stop talking.

- You can't stop me.

You can't run away like every other time.

And you go silent,

and suddenly-

- I was with Florence.

- You're not now.

- Yeah.

She doesn't talk to me anymore, so...

- Can I ask you something?

- Can I stop you?

- Why did you agree to do this,

'cause it meant canceling your solo gig, right?

- It's gonna be okay, people will understand.

Just let me know when you wanna go.

- Can I explain?

- No need.

It's me that needs to.

To a theater full of disappointed people

who have wasted their time.

- You don't have to.

- Yeah I do.

People deserve an explanation.

- No, I mean I'll do it.

- What?

(gentle music)

- I'll get up on stage.

- As Wolfeo?

(Kerri howls)

But you hate the idea

of getting up in front of all those people.

- No I don't.

Yeah, I do,

but it'll be worth it.

- Yeah?

- You just looked so disappointed,

that's why I couldn't tell you.

- You think I might bite your head off?

- No, I'm the wolf.

- You don't know any of the dances.

- Sure I do.

Watch.

- Oh.

- I can always do the worm.

- Yeah.

- Okay, the wolf's not meant to be good at dancing anyway.

- What about all the lines?

- All up here.

And if I forget it I'll just make 'em up.

- Wolfeo, I know we are meant to be,

but our clan will not allow it.

- Um, uh, the clan don't understand our love,

they're savages.

- [Beth] Yeah.

- Um, uh, um, I know I've made some mistakes,

definitely shouldn't have bite your head off that one time.

But I know I trust you,

and I love you.

And I wanna be with you more than anything.

More than a thousand blood moons.

(gentle music)

- You know you messed that all up, right?

- Audience won't know.

- Okay, so you don't have to worry about

doing the lift.

- I could lift you.

- Okay, sure says Miss can't do a proper tendu.

- You don't wanna make werewolf angry.

- Oh really?

- They might bite.

- Where's my costume?

You're not serious.

- You never texted me back.

- Uh, check your messages.

- Well we've been a bit stressed.

- The play starts in like five seconds.

- Better get out of that then.

- Seriously?

- I'm here aren't I?

- [Beth] Well what about your suspension?

- What are they gonna do,

drag me off the stage?

- I'm gonna tell Daisy to give us 10.

She's on lights.

Long story.

- Saved you some embarrassment.

- I had a plan.

- Sure you did.

Paws.

- Thanks.

- Just because you screwed me over

doesn't mean I want Beth's big night to fail.

- Very mature.

- Aren't you worried?

- About?

- Me and Beth, the kiss at the end.

- No.

- Okay, everything's sorted.

Daisy's gonna make an announcement saying we're a bit late.

Everything okay?

- Fine with me.

- You sure you don't mind?

- Slay girl.

- We can't be together.

- Why Wolfeo, why?

- Because I'm a werewolf.

(Beth gasps)

You might not have noticed.

- The name was a clue.

(audience laughing)

How am I going to explain this to my dance group?

(audience laughing)

- Ugh, nice of them to wait for me.

- What happened?

- We were stuck in a closet.

What?

We were.

- You're doing it wrong.

- I'm doing it fine.

- [Leo] You left the spotlight on.

- Wolfeo, no, no, stay with me.

- Every time there's a full moon.

- Yes?

- Howl for me.

- But what if it's cloudy?

- Cloudy?

- Well we're in Melbourne, it's pretty good odds.

- Use a weather app.

- Got it, got it.

What if I'm with my friends?

They'll think I'm crazy.

- I'm dying and you're still worried

what people might think?

- Forgive me, my love.

Wolfeo.

(gentle music)

(audience cheering)

Wolfeo, no.

(Beth howls)

(audience applauding)

(audience cheering)

(audience applauding)

(audience cheering)

- Can you believe they clapped for so long?

- Of course, you were epic.

- You think?

I kind of missed like whole sections of it.

- It doesn't have to be perfect.

- Good advice.

- Couple people wanna talk to you.

- Like teachers?

- Parents, I don't know.

People who dug it.

You're welcome.

- For?

- Swooping in and saving the show.

- Thanks.

You're a much better Wolfeo than I could have bene.

- What did you think of the finale?

- I thought you both did really great.

- Do you wanna do something after this?

Little cast after party.

- Thanks, but we've got plans.

- You're still here. - Uh-huh.

- How come?

- I had to see Georgie's interpretation.

- And?

- Not bad.

- That's high praise coming from you.

- It would have been better with my changes.

- Yeah, yeah.

Well there's always next performance.

- [Wade] True.

- Might have to fight her for it though,

she seemed to enjoy herself.

- Yeah.

Oh, tonight wasn't a washout for me either.

- Oh yeah?

- Mm. - Mm.

You wanna get out of here?

- I definitely don't wanna get locked in.

- Yeah, that would suck.

- Do you wanna hear some of my new tracks?

- You got another gig lined up?

- No, I meant tonight.

- Yeah, sure.

See if I can't give you some pointers.

- You're funny.

- Are you sure you wanna stay?

- Long walk back to mine.

How are you feeling?

- About?

- Everything.

- We pulled off the play.

- We did, didn't we?

- It only took me having to become

a complete control freak in the middle of it.

- Don't blame yourself. - No, I'm being serious.

And Georgie.

- I didn't realize how much

she was trying to press your buttons until tonight.

- See?

- Can we not talk about her?

- Yeah, sorry.

So we've got like 10 hours to kill until morning.

So, you wanna talk politics?

- I can think of something a little more fun.
