Loving it.

- Come on, smile. - Yeah, one more.

Come on, come on, smile this time.

Yeah, that's the one.

So, thank you guys.

You know, it's about intense observational development.

Awards, you know, I really don't care.

Of course I've had more than my fair share.

Don't you dare breathe a word.

Remember, I got you this job.

But that's not what drives me.

Only when I first really understood what a city was.

Fucking crazy.

Are you mad?

Okay guys, let's have a photo.

Look, their marriage is...

Come on Francesca, you can stand behind me,

and Rebecca yeah, you stand here, that's good.

- Oh wow. - Okay guys.

Just a bit more tight.

Okay, big smiles.

Now a silly one, guys.

Yeah.

You know when I set up this firm,

I had a dream about the breadth of work we would do.

And today is about delivering another bit of my vision.

Human and animal takes us new places,

so why not add God in there, and put them in an ark?

We're reaching back, and we're reaching forward with this,

and reaching is something

that's always been pivotal to Handon Architects.

Now we've just gotta crack on and get it built.

Francesca, would you like to say something?

Oh, um.

Thank you everyone for your amazing work

developing this concept.

It's been quite a journey,

and couldn't have done it without all of your input.

Ben and Rebecca particularly, thank you.

We've learnt so much from working with you

over the last couple of months,

and thank you for trusting us with this.

And Ben in particular, thank you for seeding the idea

of the ark for the new visitor's center for the zoo.

That was a real game changer.

Thank you everyone, congratulations.

Yep, cheers, well done.

Cheers.

Plane's in an hour, Uber's on its way.

- Then you've gotta go. - Yeah.

That's almost there.

All right, that's fine. I'll look after the rest of this.

Okay, thanks.

Okay, well I'll see you Sunday?

Could be a bit longer, depends on the client.

- Oh. - Yeah.

Well, see you when I see you.

Yeah, that'll be good.

Okay darling, bye-bye.

Yep they're here for you now.

Yeah, this one is called Rising Strong.

Oh, oh you didn't have to do that.

Oh no, I'm happy to.

It's fine.

Ah thanks.

At least I have someone I can gossip about the party to.

I dunno, everyone seemed pretty happy.

Yeah, yeah, everyone's really excited about it.

Yeah.

Hey, thank you very much for what you said before.

That was really nice.

Oh gosh, no thank you.

Using the ark was such a simple, good idea.

Yeah, yeah well the zoo seemed to like it, so.

Mm, that's a pretty good connection you have with them.

You and Rebecca seem like pretty good friends.

Yeah, yeah, actually

when I first got into landscaping I gave her a call,

and I've had bits and pieces of work for the zoo ever since.

Well, you obviously do a good job for them.

Hey, would you be very shocked

if I had a cigarette right now?

Oh no, you go for it.

I know it's a bit of a revolting habit,

I just, sometimes I have to have one...

What?

I don't suppose you have a key.

No.

I think I've got one in my bag.

God.

Oh my god.

Shit!

Tim, hi it's me.

I'm stuck on the roof with the landscape guy.

Can you give me a call back please?

Preferably before you get on the plane.

Battery, where's your phone?

Downstairs charging.

Great.

Well do something!

Hello!

Hello!

Hello, excuse me!

Hi!

Hello?

Ah, we're stuck up here!

Oi!

Ugh, no one's paying me any attention!

Oi!

Tim should be getting off the plane about now.

Someone should be here soon then.

Mm, hopefully.

Come on, come on, come on!

You spelt rescue wrong.

I don't think Tim got your message.

No, doesn't look like it, does it?

Anyone else come into the office on the weekends, or?

No, not usually.

I mean the cleaners will come, but...

What, tomorrow morning?

Middle of the day Sunday?

Fuck.

Well you must have a wife, or a girlfriend,

or someone that will call you?

Ah god.

Suppose we may as well have a drink.

Wine?

So you got any plans for the weekend?

Of course.

What about you?

Just going surfing with a mate.

You ever been stuck like this before?

Yeah, actually.

Once in a lift.

What happened?

Power cut out and we got stuck.

What'd you talk about?

Mainly about how we were gonna escape.

What about you?

No, I've never been stuck in a lift.

That'd be awful.

I did actually get snowed in

in a tramping hut once for three days.

That was actually all right, we just played heaps of cards

and gave morning talks to pass the time.

What was your talk on?

I think built manifestos expressing my philosophy

around architecture and the inherent contradictions

of, I don't know.

Something low key.

You know, it's frustrating looking at all these buildings

and thinking about what I've ended up designing.

A bunch of McMansions for people at the beach.

It's the same thing every time,

sweeping floor to ceiling windows towards the view,

polished concrete floors, and a skillion roof.

It's like, ugh, have some imagination, people.

Pretty boxes, though.

Thank you.

Nah, it's all good.

I just, I really only have myself to blame.

I kind of followed down this path with Tim, and here I am.

It's just not really what I thought I would be doing

when I finished my degree.

What did you think you'd be doing?

I don't know, I thought I'd be doing public work,

or something humanitarian, you know?

Build houses for people that actually needed them.

What about you?

No, I had no good intentions about saving the world.

Took my year of architecture, and then I shot off overseas.

What'd you do?

Well, I

bounced around a lot.

Ended up working yachts in Turkey.

Sailing's kinda my thing.

Yeah, I started skippering them,

and I dunno, after a while I was having too much fun.

Didn't really wanna come back.

Well, for a while anyway.

I've always wanted to go to Turkey.

You should.

You need to turn around.

Hey!

Oi!

You know what, I think we're

the last people to live on this planet.

I know every generation says that,

but things have become so screwed up lately,

I really don't see a lot of hope.

Isn't that moon beautiful?

Maybe we can live out there somewhere.

Like I think that's all that's left to us now,

to go and fuck up someone else's solar system.

Sorry, I know, my brain's been infected by podcasts.

Yeah, really needs to calm down a bit.

Yeah, it's stuck on repeat between global catastrophe

and my shoe fetish.

You scared of heights?

A little bit.

What about you?

No, I've been up and down riggings and masts

most of my life, so you know.

Would you walk on this ledge?

Yeah.

Yeah I think I would.

Yeah, why not?

Actually don't do it, no I'm kidding, Ben!

Okay Ben, seriously get down.

Please get down.

It's not that bad.

Ben, get down!

- It's not bad, look. - You're freaking me out!

Although that is quite steep.

Yes, please get down, seriously!

Come on.

- No, come down! - It's fine!

Okay.

Your turn.

That was unnecessary.

Come on.

No, absolutely not.

Doesn't look like your husband's

sending out a search party.

Well, he doesn't always listen to his messages.

Maybe he'll pick it up later.

Yeah, but come on.

He doesn't call you, or?

Not necessarily, who's gonna call you?

No one, really.

Just your surfer friend?

Yeah, but he's not gonna assume anything if I don't call.

What about your family?

They're used to me taking some time to get back to them.

Yeah, I bet.

Well actually, I'm meeting a girl tomorrow, 10 a.m.

Well will she call anyone if you don't show up?

Probably not, no.

That's not much good to us then, is it?

Who's the cat?

Dunno yet.

I'm more of a dog person.

Had some pretty strange pets as a kid, though.

Yeah?

Yeah.

I had an axolotl.

That's pretty strange.

I don't do weird fish.

I did have a guinea pig, and a mental bird for a bit,

but Dave was the best.

He was always trying to escape.

Who was Dave?

Dave was a tortoise that lived in the pond

outside the house that I grew up in,

and you could always hear when he was trying to escape

because there'd be this loud thwack

as he fell out of the pond onto the concrete.

You'd climb up the side of the pond,

and then there'd be more thwacks as he fell off

over, and over, and over again

until finally, he made it over the top

and he'd head for the park.

In the end, my mum just wrote our phone number

on his shell with a Sharpie.

It's amazing, people would always bring him back.

Poor little guy, he must have been pretty frustrated by it.

Anyway, eventually he made it over

to the tortoise rescue lady's place.

I know, who knew there was a tortoise rescue lady?

Well there was, and she had hundreds of rescue tortoises.

Anyway, she told us Dave's secret.

What was his secret?

Dave was not a boy, but a girl.

And when tortoises ovulate,

they have to find somewhere to lay their eggs,

which is what Dave had been doing over and over again,

and we just thought he was trying to escape.

Ah.

God, how did I get there?

Maybe Dave was trying to tell you something.

You know I was eight years old,

and I don't really think I understood Dave.

What happened to him, or her,

what happened to her?

Got run over by a car.

Oh for God's sake.

Yeah.

You know, the death of your pet

is your first big existential crisis as a human.

Parents say all kinds of rubbish

to try and make you feel better,

but as a child, you just,

you just have this feeling about it that can't be explained.

My parents kept talking about God.

I never believed them.

Yeah, I think I was much more gullible.

I was at a Catholic school.

- Uh-oh. - And I was

open to persuasion, yeah.

Actually there was a time when I was hoping

God would show up.

He didn't.

Lucky for you.

Yeah.

Ah god, I'm such a hypocrite.

You know I got married in a church?

Tim didn't even want to, but I insisted.

All form and no content, perfect architect.

My god is detail.

I guess I'm a bit OCD, like I really like

my kitchen cupboards to be in order,

otherwise I get really freaked out.

I get great pleasure from cleaning

my stainless steel bench tops.

I try to resist it, but I can't.

Maybe it's 'cause I'm an Aries,

or maybe I'm just fucked up. What star sign are you?

Sagittarius.

No.

What?

I've always wanted to be a Sagittarius.

Really?

Yeah, they're the best!

Aries are all like high expectations

and strong willed, stupidly devoted.

You know,

Sagittarius and Aries are meant to be quite compatible.

How do those Hare Krishnas keep doing that year after year,

just dancing around with everyone staring at them

like they're goldfish?

Maybe they're just high on spirituality,

like believing in something makes you feel so good

that you just don't care.

Wish I believed in something.

I have this creature in my brain that straightaway

just says Frankie, you're being an idiot.

Stops me, it's no fun at all.

Maybe I can pay someone to teach me to be mindful,

or be a Buddhist or something.

That's probably the best I can hope for.

I don't think your creature

would even allow that, to be honest.

Pisses me off, but I kinda depend on it.

I was in India for a while.

The whole idea of reincarnation

kinda started to make more sense to me.

Okay, so what do you think

you might come back as?

An orangutan.

Definitely!

Swingin' around in the trees and the branches?

Having sex to keep the peace.

Okay.

Yeah.

When I was a kid, I lived in Indonesia for a little bit.

My dad was constructing a road in Sumatra,

so I got to go into the jungle.

And, I could be standing there,

and I'd have this amazing sense

of being connected to everything.

Like I was breathing with the whole world,

and ceasing to be a singular entity.

Mm, I'd just be scared something was gonna bite me.

You know, I saw an orangutan once.

I will never forget it.

It looked me straight in the eyes,

and I was mesmerized.

You know, they're the smartest of the apes.

They're always the ones that'll escape the zoo.

And they're really noble.

They've got a dignity about them

that I think us as humans have lost.

Yeah, an orangutan would be good.

I mean, I wouldn't wanna be a chimpanzee.

They're way too violent.

Bonobos are just little sex pests.

Yeah, orangutans probably the best choice.

I quite like you as an orangutan.

The irony of your story is that your father

was building a road in the jungle,

which was probably gonna destroy the orangutan's habitat.

Sorry, but it's true.

I mean, you read all these articles

about these multinational companies

just raping the jungle

so that they can plant more palm oil

and completely destroy the habitat

of all the creatures that live there.

You know, like one time I actually went to Borneo,

and it's miles of these uniform rows of palm,

which used to be forest, you know?

And it's just destroyed,

and all the animals that used to live there.

Man is just this homicidal maniac,

who thinks that because it's got

a well developed frontal lobe

that we can just destroy whatever we want.

I mean, human beings are such killers,

and consciousness is not just something

that homo sapiens have, either.

I mean I think a lot of other species

probably have that ability.

Sorry, I'm getting a little bit carried away.

No, hey, hey, no.

What you're saying's great.

I mean, I love that.

I agree with it.

I really like how your eyes narrow when you,

and you've got this urgency about your body

when you're passionate about something.

I will take that as a compliment.

Oh it's so good!

So why are you not married, or with anyone?

Little bit of art direction,

you could scrub up all right.

I guess the right person just hasn't come along yet.

Really?

Maybe I'm just fundamentally beyond hope.

Mm, that must be it.

Nah.

No, I just think life isn't really

taking me in that direction at the moment.

Oh come on, I've never believed that.

You gotta find someone that you have

some kind of connection with and make it work.

You have to kind of grab hold of things,

otherwise everything just crumbles away, you know?

Sure.

Oh, people have all these expectations.

But you have to manage them,

otherwise you become their prisoner.

I mean, nothing is ever gonna be perfect, right?

You just have to work with what you've got.

You know, be realistic and appreciate what you have.

But if you just try and control things all the time,

you end up missing half of life.

But nothing in my life happens unless I make it.

If I don't organize it, it doesn't happen.

I don't believe in waiting.

Are you cold?

No, I'm fine.

Are you sure?

Yeah.

Do you want a jacket?

No, I'm fine, thank you.

I'm cold just looking at you.

No, 'cause then you'll be cold.

I don't feel the cold.

I don't wanna look at you shivering.

Come on, wear it.

I'm fine.

- Wear the jacket. - I'm not wearing the jacket.

Wear the jacket.

Okay fine, give me the jacket.

Tim's finally sent someone.

You really think your husband

is gonna rescue us at this point?

He might rescue me.

Who's gonna rescue you?

How did you guys meet?

He came to Sydney on a project

that my company was working on,

and I was about to go to Nicaragua

and work on this UN sponsored housing project over there.

This volunteer thing, and then I met Tim,

and he just had this confidence,

and I dunno, he kind of overwhelmed me.

And he offered me a job,

and I jumped at it.

He was doing a lot of really interesting work back then

with community housing,

and it was kind of what I'd always wanted to do,

and so, I said yes.

And getting away from my family

seemed like kind of a good idea.

I could sort of go off and do my own thing

without my father breathing down my neck,

and Tim was just,

I dunno, I was working with him

as part of a team, and learning so much.

And I think it was probably about six months

before we were living together.

Wow.

Yeah.

I mean, he is 20 years older than me.

Just kinda made him seem more interesting.

He does have two teenage children.

Uh-huh?

That's a challenge.

What about their mother?

She, um, it's complicated.

Their marriage was effectively over.

Oh.

It's all good, I just...

Do you still love Tim?

Crikey.

This notion of love,

it's a little overrated, don't you think?

I mean, how much do you really need?

Well, are you happy?

Happiness?

Come on! - What?

It's a trap.

I just think people get so caught up

in this idea of happiness, and really

what we should do is just,

I don't know, settle for what's in front of us.

Can you see the Southern Cross?

- Oh yeah, there it is. - Yeah.

What else?

I dunno, the only other one I know is Orion's Belt.

It's just there.

Ah, oh yeah.

What about the Archer?

Never really got that one.

See Orion's Belt?

It's the middle part.

And he's drawing his bow there, just there, see that?

I mean, it just looks like a saucepan to me.

Okay, well,

try and picture it, like he's side onto us,

and he's slightly rotated.

If you start at the belt,

and you go down from there,

those two stars, they're his feet.

Again, in profile.

And if you go up from there, those three stars,

that's his bow, and he's drawing that back.

- Oh yeah, yeah. - Yeah?

Totally see what you mean.

Well you know, he's easier once you click onto him.

Yeah.

Hey, maybe if you study him a little bit more intensely.

Yeah, you just have to

squint your eyes the right way, sort of.

Like this?

What?

I can't see it.

I dunno, he's tricky to find, that Archer.

Uh, let's not go there.

I...

I just...

I mean, we're working together.

No of course, yeah no, of course, yeah.

Yeah.

You know, I designed a house once

for a woman who was scared of the dark.

It was so weird.

There weren't allowed to be any corridors.

She didn't want any wardrobes or cupboards

in any of the bedrooms,

and she was really specific about the distance

that the walls had to be apart.

She was so neurotic, but the house

ended up being really interesting.

I think we won an award for it.

Did it work?

I mean, you know, could she sleep?

Yeah.

I think mostly 'cause I also gave her

the number of my hypnotherapist.

Yeah.

You know, I used to be terrified of the dark.

Sneak down the hallway every night,

and I'd end up sleeping on this little mattress

at the end of my parents' bed.

What was it that was frightening you?

That's the thing, I can't remember.

I just got the extraordinary sense of the,

like the intensity of the terror.

I mean, it was vivid.

What about now, are you still scared of the dark?

No, not so much the dark anymore,

but I would really love to remember

what it was that was terrifying me so much.

'Cause I've got this feeling that if I could reconnect

with whatever that was,

I could unlock this profound secret in my life, you know?

I've got this sense of this other place

that's trying really hard to talk to me,

if only I could just work out how to listen.

Yeah, I know what you mean.

It's like there's something at your fingertips

that you can't quite grasp.

I think we all wanna know what that thing is,

but I think,

I don't know if we ever really can know.

You know, when I,

when I sleep, I can't bear to be touched.

Like obviously, I love to be touched,

I just mean not when I sleep.

I'm probably a nightmare to go to bed with.

I mean, not like that.

I'm a nightmare to go to sleep with.

Maybe you just need your own bed.

No, it's not that.

I like to feel that there's somebody else there.

They're just not allowed to touch me when I sleep.

Okay.

Ben, oi.

Wake up!

Come on.

What?

Come on, wake up.

Time to get on with the day.

How'd you sleep?

Yeah, all right.

Must've just dozed off.

Here, what do you want for breakfast?

Gee, a short black would go really nicely right now.

Can you face that way, please?

You know I just peed in the same pot plant.

Ah, we're bound together for life then.

That's an ancient Indian proverb.

Mm, I am a night owl with aspirations to be a starling.

Morning is not my time.

Nighttime I kind of rev up,

but I'm useless in the morning.

Normally I just look at my phone.

This is weird, having like a real person to talk to.

Well I can shut up if you'd like.

That'd be good, thanks.

I'm kidding you can talk obviously

I'll make an exception.

What'd you dream about?

Just random stuff, I dunno,

what about you?

We were floating on an ark somewhere.

- Really? - Yeah.

You know that was a genius idea.

I'm very glad Rebecca put me onto you.

Yeah, she's been very good to me.

Were you guys ever like a thing?

Oh no, no.

Really?

No.

God, I dunno, it's weird

what we imagine about each other, right?

I am starving.

I haven't actually decided if I'm gluten intolerant or not,

but I think I'm gonna eat some of this bread anyway.

It's like, you can never really know someone, can you?

Only what they tell you about themselves,

or what you see.

I think you and Rebecca make a good couple.

I don't think so.

So what have you got on for the rest of the day?

What about that girl you were meant to meet at 10 o'clock?

Well that's obviously not happening anymore, is it?

I don't think you're gonna make it, sorry.

It's all right.

Probably would've blown it, anyway.

Well thank you for the vote of confidence.

I've been told I'm quite charming

on first dates, actually.

- Really? - Yeah.

All right.

What's your opening line?

Show me, I'll be the girl.

Hey, oh god look, sorry I'm late.

I got stuck on this rooftop.

I didn't think you were gonna make it.

You canceled all those other times.

What is it you said you did again?

An architect or something?

Landscape architect, yeah.

So it that like gardens or something?

No, no, it's a lot more boring than that.

Just in offices drawing stuff, mainly.

Is that a job?

It is a job, yes.

So I don't meant to pry or anything,

but have you just come out of a relationship?

Well, I mean not just.

How long ago?

Sorry, I'm a little bit nosy.

I'm always getting in trouble for that.

So do you actually have girlfriends,

or are you gay?

No, I'm not,

yes I had a girlfriend.

I mean, you know...

Good, were you in love with her?

No, it was more of a sex thing, actually.

Yeah, once the attraction wore off,

we just, we drifted.

Really?

That's a shame. I didn't pick you for that.

Really?

Your profile said you were after something

kind of long term.

Oh god, who believes that stuff?

What a waste.

You do actually have quite a nice smile, very dreamy eyes.

Thank you.

Well, what about you?

Well, I'm not seeing anyone, obviously.

How could I be, I'm on this date.

Yep, I was just checking.

You actually, you,

yeah you've got very pretty eyes as well.

Sorry, have I said that already?

No.

And that, that growth on the side of your face,

that is captivating.

Have you thought about surgery,

or is that just like a beauty spot?

Yeah all right, that's enough.

I'm calling this date quits, right now.

You are exactly the kinda guy

that this girl doesn't wanna meet.

Some horny hipster who lies on his profile

with a sex addiction.

Jesus, here's me thinking

it was actually going quite well.

So.

What else do you do on a day like this?

You know, I normally go to the gym on a Saturday, but...

Oh yeah?

Well, do you wanna come?

It's not far, I could probably drive us.

Let's take the waterfront, actually.

You're navigating, fine.

No no, don't crash into it.

Ooh, I'm gonna destroy all these buildings,

could be a red letter day for architecture.

Let me tell you.

Oh look at this woman on her cellphone.

What are you doing?

Concentrate, please.

- Left. - Okay.

- No, left. - Ah, what?

You said left, right or left?

Oh yeah you're fuckin' right.

Get back in the car!

All right, where now?

Cyclers, watch the cyclers!

Sorry!

Oh my god.

I can't stand Lycra.

It reminds me of being in the circus,

and I hate circuses because I hate clowns.

Okay where now, where are we going?

Round the roundabout.

Red light, shit, stop!

And okay, we can go.

Round the roundabout, round the roundabout,

- Oh my god, again? - Round the roundabout.

Yes. - Seriously?

Here we are.

I can't stand clowns.

They just really creep me out.

I can't handle all that enforced happiness, you know?

Makes me wanna rebel. I don't know, they used to

really freak me out as a child too.

Yeah, I really think you're overthinking this.

Yeah, probably.

Okay, side plank.

Did you hear about that orangutan

in the Perth Zoo with Nicole Kidman?

What?

Yeah.

There was an orangutan in the Perth Zoo

and somehow it got a copy of Woman's Day,

and it went nuts, it like tore out half the pages.

When the keepers went in, they found that Nicole Kidman

was on most of the pages.

That is weird.

Yeah.

That is so weird!

I know, well she does have red hair.

Yeah, must be pretty strange for Nicole Kidman.

Maybe it's flattering though, you know?

Like it's nice to be recognized

by another species in that way.

She should be very happy.

Do you think they're looking at us looking at them?

The animals in the zoos, I mean?

Thinking how weird we are?

Definitely.

You're really good at this.

Thanks, I try and go once or twice a week.

Come on, it's much more than that.

Maybe, what about you?

Just surfing, really.

What, is that it?

Yeah.

It's obviously working for you.

You know, when I run around a field,

I always have to go clockwise.

I've tried making myself go the other way,

but it just doesn't feel good.

I've decided I'm not gonna worry about it anymore,

just gonna keep going clockwise.

What?

You know my dad used to read me that story

about the enormous crocodile

that plans to eat all the children?

The Roald Dahl one, wasn't it?

- Yeah. - Yeah,

with all the cunning plans and the clever tricks?

That's the one.

It used to terrify me as a kid,

but I'd always make him read it to me,

and my dad would creep up to us

like a crocodile like this rah!

Okay, yeah that was pretty scary.

I know, imagine being six years old.

You know, sometimes my dad was fantastic,

but other times he'd just be so mean.

I never knew which one he was gonna be.

The wonderful crocodile,

or the one that was gonna eat me.

I think I got a bit carried away last night.

I mean, when I was saying all that stuff.

I don't mean to sound negative.

My life's pretty good,

it's just not exactly in the shape I imagined it.

What's the news?

It's just the births and deaths section.

Ah, sometimes that can be the best part.

There's an interesting one here, though.

It's in the death notices.

Who died?

A woman from Auckland.

She was an architect.

Really?

Yeah.

Yeah, in fact it says here that she died alone.

She wasn't survived by any kids.

Guess she didn't have any,

but it does mention she was married

to a prominent Auckland architect who died sometime ago.

Weird thing is though, just lists several of his buildings

but none of hers.

It's like you know, the whole thing's all about him.

You know, I was reckon it was probably placed

by a kid of his from a previous marriage.

Hey!

- What? - You know I'm the one

that does all the concept design, right?

Tim just goes to lunch meetings and takes all the credit.

Hey, I'm just reading what I read here.

Yeah well, pisses me off.

Okay, well fine.

It's really unfair!

Well, you shouldn't put up with it then, should you?

Ah, okay.

Yeah right, well that's easy for you to say,

but I'm the one that has to make this whole thing work.

I know you think I'm just some kind of dipshit

that sits back and does what she's told,

but that is not how it is.

I never said that.

Yeah, but that's what you're thinking.

You make all these assumptions, and I don't like it.

Well then get out of the business, then.

Go and do your own thing.

Oh, like that's a great idea right now.

Anyway, your obituary isn't looking so flash.

What have you done?

You spent years mucking around on boats,

but you haven't really achieved anything.

I did exactly what I wanted to do.

Yeah, but it hasn't added up to much, has it?

At least I wasn't screwing the boss, was I?

Well fuck you!

Jesus, that could've killed someone.

Yeah, it'd be a shame to go to jail for a bad throw.

It wasn't a bad throw, you missed the catch.

Yeah you're right, my arms are just too short.

It's a bit like life, isn't it?

Just dropped from the sky randomly,

who knows where you're gonna land,

and you're lucky if you don't get run over,

and then you die.

You know, we're two sad asses,

we're stuck up here, and who's noticing?

Isn't your husband gonna notice you've gone off the air?

We don't really talk to each other that much

when we're apart, so.

What about you, Nigel no mates?

Who's gonna miss you?

Well it's not all that bad.

Friends aren't just gonna freak out

if I don't contact them for a couple of days.

Doesn't seem like you've got much on, anyway.

I have stuff on.

I will have you know I am booked in

for a gong bath tomorrow.

A gong bath?

Uh-huh.

It's really cool.

It's this thing where you lie down

and they play all these gongs,

and the sound kind of washes over you

and it gets louder and louder until it kinda takes over,

and that's all there is.

And it's supposed to get into your theta brain waves,

which is like a deep form of meditation

that makes your mind stop.

Hey, what is that?

Oh it's a drone.

Well, how did it get there?

I don't know, I mean there's heaps of them

all over the place these days.

It's probably someone in one of these buildings around here.

Well where is it going?

I don't know.

It's probably Tim.

It's not Tim.

It's freaking me out, I don't like drones.

I feel like it's watching us.

- Okay. - What?

What?

Go away!

Just relax, it's fine, it's okay.

Hey, hey, just breathe.

- Okay. - Just relax.

Okay.

You all right?

I fuckin' hate drones.

Technology's gone too far.

You know, one day we are all just gonna be owned

by a few global empires,

and we'll all just be little data cows

who like things on Facebook all day.

Okay, I know, my brain needs refreshing.

Yeah.

You know what, I'm glad I didn't have children

because if I did, they're just gonna end up

being little computers run by artificial intelligence

having sex with their phones.

Well luckily, it doesn't look like

you're gonna have that problem, does it?

I didn't mean that to sound...

Sorry. - Jesus.

Frankie, come to the beach.

Yeah all right, walk down by the water.

Oi, careful! - What, what?

You're about to stand on a jellyfish.

Oh, haha.

I must've been distracted by that guy and his schnauzer.

Yeah.

It's funny how people actually

look like their pets, isn't it?

I mean that's a thing.

You know, I had a whippet.

Her name was Harriet.

She was the best. - Yeah?

She had such a good personality.

She died like a year ago.

Do you think I look like a whippet?

Only in a good way.

I mean, sure you're very sleek.

Okay, sleek is good.

- And... - And what?

If you say something about my nose...

No, no I was just gonna say

apparently they're very intelligent.

What kind of a dog did you have?

Well...

Wait, let me guess.

I reckon

a black lab, or an Irish Wheaten terrier.

I had a border collie.

Ah, border collie, they're the best!

I love those dogs.

I can see that.

You've got a bit of a border collie about you.

They're very handsome dogs.

You know the thing about dogs is,

they don't have a problem with desire.

They approach it in a very uncomplicated way.

Yeah.

All right, we're up on the deck, beautiful blue sky,

and the water is dead calm.

Mm, that beautiful Mediterranean blue.

Like swimming in a gin and tonic.

Feel like a G&T right now.

We're all out of gin, by the looks of it.

But we do have an ample supply of champagne.

Let's have one of those.

Of course, I wouldn't usually.

Not while I was on duty,

but you know, seeing as all the guests are on the island.

I guess I could.

So how long do you think they'll be?

Oh, once they have lunch, look at a couple of temples.

Could be all day.

It's kind of nice having some space.

I was feeling a little claustrophobic

with everyone on board before.

That old guy you're with, is he your husband?

As a matter of fact, he is.

Yeah, I wasn't sure.

You don't seem very relaxed around each other,

and he does call you Francesca in that parental way.

You're very observant.

Thank you.

Actually, things haven't been great

between us for a while.

That's why we've come on this trip

to try and spice things up.

I see.

Can I tell you a secret?

We haven't had sex in ages.

Feeling kinda desperate.

Well, it's interesting that you say that actually,

'cause I haven't told you about this

special island that we're anchored off.

Hm?

Yeah, on this island,

all bets are off.

People are free to do as they wish.

It's an ancient Greek thing.

They used to come here to roll the dice a bit.

How does that work?

It's kind of like a free pass.

Yeah, people are free to reassess their situations

without being subject to guilt.

Your cruises must have been pretty popular.

They were.

So what do we do?

We sunbathe, we go swimming,

just the usual stuff.

Ooh, how'd you get that scar?

Oh yeah, yeah, shark bit me when I fell off my motorcycle.

Nasty shark.

Yeah, yeah.

What about that one?

Oh, sprint, game of rugby.

Quite tough, you know.

Really?

I've got a third one too.

See that one there?

Yeah.

Yep.

What about your scars?

Oh mine are mainly internal.

Oh.

No, I don't really,

oh I do have actually one little one on my finger.

My sister jammed it in the door when I was six,

and you know what, I'm pretty sure she did it on purpose.

But she never admitted to that, of course.

I was determined not to cry.

Like I didn't wanna give her that satisfaction.

I think it's the first time I ever consciously realized

I could manipulate someone

by deciding whether or not to cry.

That's quite a moment.

Mm, see what you're dealing with?

Tell me more about the flamingos.

I told you everything I know about the flamingos.

I thought you were a wildlife fan.

Okay, yeah sure, there is one thing actually.

Go on.

When they mate, they do this extraordinary dance.

You know, cluster together in this big group,

and they do this funky little walk thing with their hips.

And then they get real sexy with their neck like this.

Are you making this up?

No, it's true.

Kinda goes like this.

Here, I'll show you.

I like it!

All right.

What are you doing?

What is it?

It's the mark of our new tribe.

We're just gonna start civilization from scratch.

No religion, no books, no ice cream?

Just gonna have to make the whole thing up.

Well, I suppose we've got time on our hands.

Tell me about crocodiles.

I don't know much about crocodiles.

Just know what they like for lunch.

Down by the Limpopo River you mean.

You know that one?

The great Grey-green greasy Limpopo River?

Yeah yeah, where the Kolokolo bird lives,

and where the elephant got its trunk.

Yes, but it's never a good idea

to ask a crocodile what he wants for lunch.

Or what happened to your girlfriend's.

No.

Well it didn't go well for the crocodile, did it?

No.

Okay, David Attenborough.

They're not just crying

because they're feeling sorry for you.

You wanna hear how the Kolokolo bird cry goes?

Oh yes, yes please.

Okay, you ready?

Hey.

What are you doing?

It's getting a bit cold.

How long was I asleep?

About an hour?

Yeah I really can't really

drink in the afternoons anymore.

I've had plenty of practice with Tim.

Tim?

Mm.

You know, my husband?

What are you gonna tell him?

Ooh, I don't know.

Trying not to think about it.

Tim doesn't even need to know about this weekend.

I can keep up the charade,

he's an expert at it.

I don't think you would wanna subscribe

to the type of logic that your husband runs his life by.

Isn't that what everyone does though,

so that we can get on with our lives?

That's really cynical, Frankie.

Maybe we just have this one weekend,

but I'm not sorry that it happened.

It's gonna be hard going back to my life after this.

Hey, don't then.

Don't go back.

Just leave it.

You know,

sometimes the universe opens up

and we have these glorious moments, but they're not real.

We just have to appreciate them for what they are.

Why, why are you putting on your jewelry?

We can go.

Sorry?

I found the key.

What do you mean you found the key?

It was in my bag, it was just, I don't know...

- When did you find it, when? - Just before.

Well then why didn't you say something?

I'm saying something now!

Look.

Nothing needs to change, Ben.

We can go back to how we were on Monday.

No one needs to know.

We've, we've had our moment.

It was beautiful, but we're done.

What do you, sorry, what do you mean we're done?

It just, I mean you what,

you're just gonna walk out now, and that's it?

You've had that key the whole time, haven't you?

No I haven't.

And everything we've been talking about,

that's just what, that's just bullshit?

Oh fuck it.

Fuck you!

No, no, you cannot just walk out on this.

This is not a game, Frankie.

I mean, is that all this is to you...

So what exactly is throwing the key

on the street going to achieve?

I can't believe you did that.

What is wrong with you?

What planet are you on?

Who are you anyway?

You won't tell me a single thing about your past,

or your relationships, your girlfriends, friends, anything!

You keep telling me what I should be doing with my life,

but what about you?

You're just happy to joke around,

but you won't face up to anything.

You know what, maybe my life isn't so great at the moment,

but what are you hiding from?

You piss me off!

Are you okay?

Yep.

You don't seem okay.

I'm fine.

When the door blew shut I didn't,

I didn't have the key.

Really, I found it this morning in the pool.

I don't mind that you had the key.

I'm kinda flattered by it.

And I'm really sorry about before,

I just got kinda anxious and panicked

and wanted to leave.

And you know, we're working together with my husband.

You don't seem to be in love with him.

What's keeping you together?

I've had anxiety my whole life, okay?

And I,

I've never really felt like I can rely on myself,

and marrying Tim felt like

stepping into someone else's shoes.

Like I was taking on a role that had been laid out for me,

and there's safety in that.

I guess I got comfortable.

Yeah, but you're not happy.

At least I function in the space that I'm in now, okay?

I have a good life, I have friends,

I have a good job.

I mean, maybe,

maybe I'm a coward.

Maybe I've been waiting for someone like you to come along,

or maybe life's just too complicated

and there are no good solutions.

Or maybe the gods, or whatever,

are giving you a nudge here.

Do something about it.

There are other options.

You've never told me what happened

in your last relationship.

I know.

I lost faith in myself.

Okay, all right.

I'd gone through a few relationships.

They hadn't really gone anywhere.

Then I came back to New Zealand,

and I met a girl.

She was beautiful, I loved her.

It was really nice.

We lived together,

were together for like three years.

It was good.

So why did you break up?

She wanted kids,

and I kept putting her off.

Then one day she just, yeah she just walked out,

she just left.

I couldn't believe that she'd do that.

I mean, we were close.

We were really close,

and then she just,

she just walked out.

That hurt.

I dunno, I just, I misread the situation, that's all.

Sometimes you just, you know in life

you end up missing the important stuff.

The really important stuff

that's right there in front of you.

That's why,

that's why I threw the key.

I just, you know, I wasn't,

I didn't like the idea of you just walking out.

I'm not walking out.

You know,

last night I was thinking about

that little boy who was scared of the dark.

Oh.

What ever happened to him, eh?

He didn't like being left alone, did he?

No, no he did not.

He was a lot of trouble for his parents.

In fact, they tried everything.

All kinds of techniques.

Eventually, they took me to a psychologist.

She took one look at me,

and prescribed me a bottle of courage.

Aww.

I mean, sure it was probably palm oil,

or something like that,

but I think she was trying to send me a message.

And did it work?

No.

Of course not.

I just, you know,

I grew up.

I learned how to cope.

And now the dark's not really that bad.

You know what, I think I could use

some of that bottle about now.

I don't think Tim went to Queenstown by himself.

I think he went with Rebecca.

Yeah, I know.

What?

I know.

What do you mean you know?

You just said that,

sorry you just said you thought they were in Queenstown.

Yeah, but I didn't,

I mean I had a feeling,

but I wasn't certain.

What do you mean you know?

It's been going on for a month.

And you've known this whole time?

Hey, hey, I just, I found out by accident.

Jesus!

No I...

Frankie!

Listen, she made me promise.

You prick!

You knew this whole time.

You let me say all of that stuff.

No, it was not like that.

Hey, it's not...

What do you mean it was not like that?

It's not like that!

How could you not say anything this whole time?

How could I say anything?

Fuck you!

Hey, Frankie?

Frankie, get down please.

Frankie, I'm serious, can you get down please?

Hey, Frankie, look at me.

Frankie.

You know what?

Yeah, Tim's in Queenstown with Rebecca.

Why do you care?

Hey?

I don't know!

You deserve better than him.

What are you, what are you doing?

What makes you think I'm the one for you?

Because you are.

You are.

This time always makes me feel so close to death,

like so, ephemeral.

It's like nothing much is holding us to this earth,

and if we stripped away everything around us,

I dunno, there'd just be nothing there.

Maybe we're the last two humans watching the final dawn.
