1
00:00:12,994 --> 00:00:15,514
Uh, I haven't yet
received my advance copy

2
00:00:15,594 --> 00:00:17,554
of 'Toxic Boss' by Norma Pearce.

3
00:00:17,634 --> 00:00:20,794
- You can't sue if the
statement is substantially true.

4
00:00:20,874 --> 00:00:22,114
- What about libel?

5
00:00:22,194 --> 00:00:24,544
Have you thought
maybe you're overreacting?

6
00:00:24,545 --> 00:00:25,593
No!

7
00:00:25,594 --> 00:00:27,284
You're firing at
the wrong enemy.

8
00:00:27,354 --> 00:00:28,594
That's not how I see it.

9
00:00:28,674 --> 00:00:30,194
I think what Norma means is

10
00:00:30,195 --> 00:00:32,673
reality's such a powerful
source of inspiration...

11
00:00:32,674 --> 00:00:34,074
- Thanks, Laura.
- Yep.

12
00:00:34,075 --> 00:00:35,593
[Evelyn] Are you here
to meet Daniel?

13
00:00:35,594 --> 00:00:37,713
Can you pick another husband
to be obsessed with?

14
00:00:37,714 --> 00:00:38,953
I'm not going back to work.

15
00:00:38,954 --> 00:00:40,513
I don't want her
to just be a wife.

16
00:00:40,514 --> 00:00:42,513
OK, so, you know... Here, here.
You want this?

17
00:00:42,514 --> 00:00:43,593
My door is always open.

18
00:00:43,594 --> 00:00:46,514
I don't want any of you
to feel unheard.

19
00:00:46,594 --> 00:00:48,114
Keep up the good work, guys!

20
00:00:48,194 --> 00:00:51,194
I mean, you're just
inspiring me every day!

21
00:00:51,195 --> 00:00:53,193
[upbeat music]
[people chattering]

22
00:00:53,194 --> 00:00:54,753
[Evelyn] I'm not!
[Ginny] Stop looking!

23
00:00:54,754 --> 00:00:56,393
[Evelyn] I don't care
what cards you got.

24
00:00:56,394 --> 00:00:58,153
["Ooh Wee" by Mark Ronson
featuring Ghostface...]

25
00:00:58,154 --> 00:00:59,993
[Killah, Nate Dogg,
Trife and Saigon]

26
00:00:59,994 --> 00:01:02,194
- Oi! Don't cheat.
- I'm helping you.

27
00:01:02,274 --> 00:01:04,394
-My daughter's very competitive.

28
00:01:04,474 --> 00:01:05,554
[Evelyn] No, I'm not.

29
00:01:05,555 --> 00:01:07,073
Viv, are you sure
you don't want to play?

30
00:01:07,074 --> 00:01:08,553
Oh, no, she doesn't like games.

31
00:01:08,554 --> 00:01:11,274
Yeah, poker's gambling
and gambling's an addiction.

32
00:01:11,354 --> 00:01:14,074
Oh, well we don't play
with real money.

33
00:01:14,154 --> 00:01:16,674
Oh, can we? I could do
with some rent money.

34
00:01:16,754 --> 00:01:18,314
No! Can't afford it.

35
00:01:18,315 --> 00:01:20,753
Why don't we just have
a conversation like adults.

36
00:01:20,754 --> 00:01:23,554
Because we like playing games.
It's fun.

37
00:01:23,555 --> 00:01:25,033
Ev, have you thought anymore

38
00:01:25,034 --> 00:01:27,314
about speaking to
the assembly on Tuesday?

39
00:01:27,394 --> 00:01:31,154
Oh, International Women's Day.
No, I'm booked.

40
00:01:31,155 --> 00:01:34,113
Sorry, but isn't International
Women's Day a bit of a sham?

41
00:01:34,114 --> 00:01:35,924
Like it's more about
pink-washing

42
00:01:35,925 --> 00:01:37,593
rather than
actual equality, right?

43
00:01:37,594 --> 00:01:39,393
Ah Mum, you can't afford to
keep betting with a bad hand.

44
00:01:39,394 --> 00:01:41,393
[quietly] No, not with
the gender pay gap.

45
00:01:41,394 --> 00:01:43,273
Oh, my gosh, why does everything
always have to be about gender?

46
00:01:43,274 --> 00:01:45,994
[Vivian] Exactly!
Feminism is redundant.

47
00:01:46,074 --> 00:01:48,034
Why can't we
all just be humanists?

48
00:01:48,114 --> 00:01:49,554
Because humans are the ones

49
00:01:49,555 --> 00:01:51,073
that are doing
bad things to humans.

50
00:01:51,074 --> 00:01:54,114
- No, I agree with Viv.
- [Vivian] Good.

51
00:01:54,194 --> 00:01:55,794
I am available on Tuesday, Jon.

52
00:01:55,874 --> 00:01:57,594
- Lock me in.
- Okay.

53
00:01:57,595 --> 00:01:59,873
Do you know women are
50 percent more likely

54
00:01:59,874 --> 00:02:02,594
to be misdiagnosed
after a heart attack?

55
00:02:02,674 --> 00:02:04,194
No! Who cares?

56
00:02:04,195 --> 00:02:06,313
Who cares about medical trials
favouring men?

57
00:02:06,314 --> 00:02:08,234
[Jon] Okay,
let's just play poker.

58
00:02:08,314 --> 00:02:10,154
[Addy] Mum's like, always angry.

59
00:02:10,234 --> 00:02:13,034
-[Vivian chuckles] -[Jon]
Okay... here's the river.

60
00:02:13,114 --> 00:02:15,314
- I'm all in.
- Somebody give me 5 more chips.

61
00:02:15,394 --> 00:02:16,554
[all] No!

62
00:02:16,634 --> 00:02:18,114
Alright, check.

63
00:02:18,194 --> 00:02:19,354
- Fold.
- Fold.

64
00:02:19,434 --> 00:02:21,484
- I drew the nut flush.
- [all exclaiming]

65
00:02:21,554 --> 00:02:24,804
Who's shuffling these cards?
I'm not playing this game anymore.

66
00:02:24,834 --> 00:02:27,554
Oh! Hang on a minute.
Wait. I'm not finished.

67
00:02:27,634 --> 00:02:29,264
Who's up for
a game of high card?

68
00:02:29,274 --> 00:02:31,154
[all] No!

69
00:02:54,994 --> 00:02:56,834
[sighs]

70
00:03:01,594 --> 00:03:04,194
[Lucy] I'm quite enjoying
being a '50s housewife.

71
00:03:04,274 --> 00:03:06,474
What about your
financial independence?

72
00:03:06,554 --> 00:03:10,914
Daniel's money is my money,
like mine is mine.

73
00:03:10,994 --> 00:03:12,554
[Evelyn] But you won't have any.

74
00:03:12,555 --> 00:03:13,673
[Lucy] I'll have his.

75
00:03:13,674 --> 00:03:14,914
[Evelyn scoffs]

76
00:03:14,994 --> 00:03:17,074
Won't that be disempowering?

77
00:03:17,154 --> 00:03:18,534
Surely there's more to life

78
00:03:18,594 --> 00:03:20,354
than just motherhood
and working.

79
00:03:20,355 --> 00:03:23,073
There's online shopping, but
you need money to do that well.

80
00:03:23,074 --> 00:03:26,074
I think our definitions of
success are just different.

81
00:03:26,154 --> 00:03:27,354
That's okay, Ev.

82
00:03:27,355 --> 00:03:29,233
Well, I don't know what
you want me to say to that.

83
00:03:29,234 --> 00:03:32,514
Why should I feel ashamed to
admit that I enjoy my work?

84
00:03:32,515 --> 00:03:35,033
Have you ever thought
you might be a workaholic?

85
00:03:35,034 --> 00:03:37,554
Yeah, of course I am.
I've worked hard at that.

86
00:03:37,634 --> 00:03:39,354
[Sylvie] Oh, nice...

87
00:03:39,434 --> 00:03:40,484
What?

88
00:03:40,554 --> 00:03:42,834
That's, that's my therapist.

89
00:03:42,914 --> 00:03:45,234
[Evelyn] She's picking up
dog shit.

90
00:03:48,505 --> 00:03:52,593
- She didn't say hello.
- It's out of context.

91
00:03:52,594 --> 00:03:54,524
- She's protecting herself.
- Sylvie?

92
00:03:54,594 --> 00:03:56,114
[sighs] Evelyn.

93
00:03:56,194 --> 00:03:59,274
[Evelyn] I thought you
saw me, but you turned away.

94
00:03:59,354 --> 00:04:00,474
I did see you.

95
00:04:00,554 --> 00:04:01,714
- Morning.
- Morning.

96
00:04:01,794 --> 00:04:04,194
It's a bit weird
not to say hello.

97
00:04:08,474 --> 00:04:09,524
Okay. That's weird.

98
00:04:09,554 --> 00:04:11,714
Didn't have to be.
You made it weird.

99
00:04:11,794 --> 00:04:14,514
I have to go.

100
00:04:14,594 --> 00:04:17,154
Oh God.
What is with your hugs?

101
00:04:17,234 --> 00:04:19,434
- What?
- That felt emotionally dusty.

102
00:04:19,435 --> 00:04:21,593
[Lucy] We've signed up
for an intimacy workshop

103
00:04:21,594 --> 00:04:23,474
with a somatic therapist.

104
00:04:23,554 --> 00:04:25,794
- Oh.
- Maybe you could join.

105
00:04:25,874 --> 00:04:28,234
There's nothing wrong
with my intimacy.

106
00:04:28,314 --> 00:04:29,554
I'm intimate.

107
00:04:29,634 --> 00:04:31,794
It's a real problem
for women our age.

108
00:04:31,874 --> 00:04:33,074
I'm fine. Thanks.

109
00:04:33,154 --> 00:04:35,474
[Lucy] You could do
a story on it.

110
00:04:35,554 --> 00:04:36,604
[people chuckle]

111
00:04:36,605 --> 00:04:38,593
[Giles] Who found
that picture of me?

112
00:04:38,594 --> 00:04:40,434
[women chuckle]

113
00:04:40,435 --> 00:04:42,473
[Giles] "Paternal clock
is ticking for DiCaprio".

114
00:04:42,474 --> 00:04:43,593
That's very clever, Evelyn.

115
00:04:43,594 --> 00:04:46,234
We could have done nothing,
as a protest move

116
00:04:46,314 --> 00:04:48,634
to mark
International Women's Day.

117
00:04:48,635 --> 00:04:50,113
But we wanted to have some fun.

118
00:04:50,114 --> 00:04:51,593
Yeah. I mean,
I can't imagine someone

119
00:04:51,594 --> 00:04:53,034
critiquing my appearance.

120
00:04:53,114 --> 00:04:55,154
I mean, what would they say?

121
00:04:55,234 --> 00:04:58,074
I don't know, something about
the cut of your suit,

122
00:04:58,154 --> 00:04:59,204
your '90s hair,

123
00:04:59,234 --> 00:05:01,714
looking like a cheating ex
in a bad romcom?

124
00:05:01,794 --> 00:05:02,874
[Evelyn laughs]

125
00:05:02,875 --> 00:05:04,553
No one wants to
have their bodies

126
00:05:04,554 --> 00:05:06,993
splashed across the media
in unflattering light.

127
00:05:06,994 --> 00:05:09,074
Yeah, but don't some women,
you know,

128
00:05:09,154 --> 00:05:10,654
solicit this type of coverage.

129
00:05:10,674 --> 00:05:13,474
Court controversy, per se.

130
00:05:13,554 --> 00:05:15,054
I mean, context is everything.

131
00:05:15,055 --> 00:05:16,713
- [audience cheers]
- [upbeat music]

132
00:05:16,714 --> 00:05:18,673
[floor manager] Quick, quick,
get 'em off.

133
00:05:18,674 --> 00:05:20,313
- Change camera.
- [audience cheers]

134
00:05:20,314 --> 00:05:21,554
[cheering]

135
00:05:21,634 --> 00:05:23,834
[floor manager]
Get 'em off!

136
00:05:23,835 --> 00:05:25,593
- [Giles] Not my birthday yet.
- Wow!

137
00:05:25,594 --> 00:05:27,114
[Evelyn] What was that?

138
00:05:27,115 --> 00:05:29,833
[Penny] Well, they were
definitely courting controversy.

139
00:05:29,834 --> 00:05:32,674
Riot girls! Viva la protest!

140
00:05:32,754 --> 00:05:35,554
I mean, what were
they protesting? Bras?

141
00:05:35,634 --> 00:05:36,794
Beauty standards.

142
00:05:36,795 --> 00:05:38,273
The way the media treats women.

143
00:05:38,274 --> 00:05:40,914
Domestic violence,
predatory men.

144
00:05:40,994 --> 00:05:42,794
- We need more activists.
- Yeah.

145
00:05:42,874 --> 00:05:45,514
- Ah. Penny.
- [Giles] Hold on.

146
00:05:45,515 --> 00:05:47,913
Just getting word that
the protestors are launching

147
00:05:47,914 --> 00:05:49,954
a new website called 'Tart'.

148
00:05:50,034 --> 00:05:52,554
What? That was a PR stunt?

149
00:05:52,634 --> 00:05:56,754
Well, I take back what I said
earlier about brave activists.

150
00:05:56,834 --> 00:05:58,154
They're not riot girls.

151
00:05:58,234 --> 00:06:01,514
Edited by feminist
commentator, Rosaline Stone.

152
00:06:01,594 --> 00:06:03,474
She's good.
[Giles sighs]

153
00:06:03,554 --> 00:06:05,154
Um, so, final word for

154
00:06:05,234 --> 00:06:08,074
International Women's Day,
Evelyn?

155
00:06:09,034 --> 00:06:12,194
Just support women.

156
00:06:12,274 --> 00:06:15,594
[Evelyn] Rosaline Stone!
That two faced, hypocritical...

157
00:06:15,674 --> 00:06:16,834
Bitch.

158
00:06:16,914 --> 00:06:18,544
I wasn't going to
say it out loud.

159
00:06:18,594 --> 00:06:20,994
Well, let's see if
she pays her contributors.

160
00:06:21,074 --> 00:06:23,514
They say they pay
15 cents per word.

161
00:06:23,594 --> 00:06:25,234
15 cents? That's good.

162
00:06:25,314 --> 00:06:27,034
We pay $50 a piece.

163
00:06:27,035 --> 00:06:28,113
Now.

164
00:06:28,114 --> 00:06:30,714
[Lily] $50 is 335 words
at 'Tart'.

165
00:06:30,715 --> 00:06:31,793
- Whatever.

166
00:06:31,794 --> 00:06:34,313
- Look, I wouldn't worry
about it. It seems academic.

167
00:06:34,314 --> 00:06:35,514
That's not our audience.

168
00:06:35,594 --> 00:06:37,674
We're academic. Aren't we!?

169
00:06:37,675 --> 00:06:39,433
[Paul] Penny's last story
was titled,

170
00:06:39,434 --> 00:06:42,234
"What My Undie Drawer
Says About Me". [chuckles]

171
00:06:42,235 --> 00:06:44,193
[Penny] It's about
getting comfortable

172
00:06:44,194 --> 00:06:45,714
with being comfortable, Paul.

173
00:06:45,715 --> 00:06:47,553
"Gender and empathy: Men
shouldn't need to imagine it

174
00:06:47,554 --> 00:06:50,514
"'if it were your wife slash
daughter slash mother,

175
00:06:50,594 --> 00:06:52,114
"written by..."

176
00:06:52,194 --> 00:06:54,554
- [laptop slams]
- Written by who? Who, Jeet?

177
00:06:54,634 --> 00:06:56,564
[Lily] Your favourite,
Norma Pearce.

178
00:06:56,594 --> 00:06:58,514
- Senior news editor.
- What?

179
00:06:58,594 --> 00:07:02,754
Oh, good old Norma
strikes again.

180
00:07:02,755 --> 00:07:04,473
[Paul] But youthfulness
is their thing.

181
00:07:04,474 --> 00:07:06,824
"We're young feminists,
smashing barriers,

182
00:07:06,834 --> 00:07:08,314
"kicking asses".

183
00:07:08,394 --> 00:07:12,474
Yeah. I'd like to know how
'young' Rosaline Stone is.

184
00:07:12,554 --> 00:07:14,034
Jeet, find out.

185
00:07:14,114 --> 00:07:17,714
[Paul] Ev, it's just
high brow, inaccessible,

186
00:07:17,794 --> 00:07:19,354
head up its own ass, dribble.

187
00:07:19,355 --> 00:07:20,913
Let's keep the train
on the tracks, folks.

188
00:07:20,914 --> 00:07:22,393
Yeah, Paul's right.
This is just...

189
00:07:22,394 --> 00:07:25,794
it's just
head up its own ass dribble.

190
00:07:25,874 --> 00:07:28,794
Maybe I'll call Rosaline Stone
and congratulate her.

191
00:07:28,874 --> 00:07:30,674
[all] No!

192
00:07:31,474 --> 00:07:33,434
[tense music]

193
00:07:33,514 --> 00:07:34,564
Bitch.

194
00:07:34,594 --> 00:07:36,514
[Helen] Sign here.

195
00:07:36,594 --> 00:07:37,644
[paper rustles]

196
00:07:37,714 --> 00:07:38,954
Wait, what is it?

197
00:07:39,034 --> 00:07:41,514
I managed to get
a small bank loan.

198
00:07:41,594 --> 00:07:43,514
Not easy with your history.

199
00:07:43,594 --> 00:07:45,404
The business account
is overdrawn.

200
00:07:45,434 --> 00:07:48,264
You only have enough cashflow
for the next three months.

201
00:07:48,314 --> 00:07:50,914
Fuck.

202
00:07:50,994 --> 00:07:54,034
Didn't you mention that
there was another option?

203
00:07:54,114 --> 00:07:57,834
Look, I can get you an investor,

204
00:07:57,914 --> 00:08:02,314
but you need to know the
headquarters will be in Naples.

205
00:08:02,394 --> 00:08:04,794
- Capiche?
- Oh, I like Naples.

206
00:08:04,874 --> 00:08:07,554
It's the New York of Europe.

207
00:08:07,634 --> 00:08:11,114
The hustle. The pizza.
It's fun. [chuckles]

208
00:08:13,274 --> 00:08:14,554
Oh...

209
00:08:14,634 --> 00:08:17,274
Naples, Naples?

210
00:08:17,354 --> 00:08:20,514
As, as in organised crime,
Naples?

211
00:08:20,594 --> 00:08:21,734
[whispers] The mafia?

212
00:08:21,794 --> 00:08:23,274
I'm not saying another word.

213
00:08:23,354 --> 00:08:26,634
How the fuck do you
have mafia connections?

214
00:08:27,754 --> 00:08:29,074
[Evelyn exhales]

215
00:08:29,154 --> 00:08:32,514
Okay, just give me
one more day, 'til Monday.

216
00:08:32,515 --> 00:08:33,993
- That's six more days.
- [papers rustle]

217
00:08:33,994 --> 00:08:36,514
- I'm not good at maths.
- No shit.

218
00:08:36,594 --> 00:08:39,234
[bell rings]

219
00:08:39,314 --> 00:08:42,514
Raise your hands
if you love being a woman.

220
00:08:42,594 --> 00:08:44,874
Yes, [chuckles] I do too.

221
00:08:44,954 --> 00:08:49,594
And for me, being a woman
is exhilarating.

222
00:08:49,674 --> 00:08:51,394
It's wondrous.

223
00:08:51,474 --> 00:08:52,524
It's emotional.

224
00:08:52,594 --> 00:08:55,114
-It's sometimes hormonal,
-[students murmur]

225
00:08:55,194 --> 00:08:59,114
but I think we've tried so hard
to normalise being a woman

226
00:08:59,194 --> 00:09:02,674
that we've forgotten
how magical it is.

227
00:09:02,754 --> 00:09:06,194
We can be independent,
and well educated.

228
00:09:06,274 --> 00:09:07,514
We have choices.

229
00:09:07,594 --> 00:09:11,754
We no longer need to be defined
by being a boy or a girl.

230
00:09:11,834 --> 00:09:14,194
I know some of you are
reading "Little Women"

231
00:09:14,274 --> 00:09:18,554
and my message today
is inspired by Jo March,

232
00:09:18,634 --> 00:09:20,954
my favourite March sister.

233
00:09:21,034 --> 00:09:23,954
She was the writer,
the tomboy, and like her,

234
00:09:24,034 --> 00:09:25,914
I had a little crush
on Laurie, too.

235
00:09:25,994 --> 00:09:27,514
[students giggle]

236
00:09:27,594 --> 00:09:29,834
My message is Jo's message.

237
00:09:29,914 --> 00:09:33,514
It is so important to be
independent, and free,

238
00:09:33,594 --> 00:09:38,514
so that you never have to
ask a man for permission -

239
00:09:38,594 --> 00:09:42,994
worse still,
ask them for money...

240
00:09:45,674 --> 00:09:49,394
Even when you really,
really, really need it.

241
00:09:49,474 --> 00:09:50,754
[tense music]

242
00:09:50,755 --> 00:09:52,993
[Jon whispers] Maybe
some of those braille titles?

243
00:09:52,994 --> 00:09:55,514
- [Erika] Blindfold you?
- [Jon] Blindfold me.

244
00:09:55,594 --> 00:09:57,584
[Jon and Erika
whisper indistinctly]

245
00:09:57,594 --> 00:10:00,594
[tense music]

246
00:10:03,834 --> 00:10:06,074
German literature!

247
00:10:06,154 --> 00:10:08,554
I mean, at least find
some romantic fiction.

248
00:10:08,634 --> 00:10:10,514
- [Jon scoffs]
- Oh, we were...

249
00:10:10,594 --> 00:10:13,514
just discussing,
reorganising the biographies.

250
00:10:13,594 --> 00:10:15,354
Oh, how stimulating.

251
00:10:15,434 --> 00:10:16,994
[Erika clears throat]

252
00:10:18,474 --> 00:10:20,074
Okay.

253
00:10:22,634 --> 00:10:24,954
Great speech today.
Thanks.

254
00:10:25,034 --> 00:10:27,514
Hmm... Do you think
that's appropriate?

255
00:10:27,594 --> 00:10:30,394
Canoodling in the library
like horny teenagers.

256
00:10:30,474 --> 00:10:34,314
We were not canoodling,
and don't say horny. [scoffs]

257
00:10:35,634 --> 00:10:38,034
I need to ask you something
about work.

258
00:10:38,114 --> 00:10:40,674
- No.
- You don't even know what it is.

259
00:10:40,675 --> 00:10:42,793
You're going to ask me
to invest in 'Eve',

260
00:10:42,794 --> 00:10:45,634
because you really,
really need it.

261
00:10:45,714 --> 00:10:48,314
- Just hear me out.
- No.

262
00:10:48,394 --> 00:10:51,154
Yes. I do need an investor
for the business,

263
00:10:51,155 --> 00:10:53,193
but I'm starting to get
really worried

264
00:10:53,194 --> 00:10:55,034
about my own financial future.

265
00:10:55,114 --> 00:10:56,754
Ginny's in a relationship.

266
00:10:56,755 --> 00:10:58,273
You've hooked up
with Miss Honey.

267
00:10:58,274 --> 00:11:00,114
[scoffs]
Don't be so hypocritical.

268
00:11:00,115 --> 00:11:01,953
You just did
a whole rousing speech

269
00:11:01,954 --> 00:11:03,913
about the importance of
financial independence.

270
00:11:03,914 --> 00:11:06,474
Yeah. So those girls
can secure their future

271
00:11:06,475 --> 00:11:09,153
without making terrible fucking
life mistakes like I did.

272
00:11:09,154 --> 00:11:10,593
[Erika] Excuse me. Excuse me,

273
00:11:10,594 --> 00:11:12,593
could you take this out
to the quadrangle, please?

274
00:11:12,594 --> 00:11:14,514
This is a quiet place.

275
00:11:14,594 --> 00:11:16,394
- No.
- [Jon] Yes.

276
00:11:18,594 --> 00:11:20,034
[Jon sighs]

277
00:11:20,114 --> 00:11:24,074
["Clockwatching"
by Belleruche playing]

278
00:11:24,154 --> 00:11:27,274

are slowly bringing...

279
00:11:27,354 --> 00:11:29,514
Oh, "Little Women".

280
00:11:29,515 --> 00:11:30,833
Did my speech inspire you?

281
00:11:30,834 --> 00:11:33,634
Oh, no. It's part
of the curriculum.

282
00:11:33,714 --> 00:11:36,354

reaching meltdown

283
00:11:36,355 --> 00:11:40,553
[books clatter]


284
00:11:40,554 --> 00:11:44,114

anybody's praise

285
00:11:44,115 --> 00:11:46,873
[Lily] I need a tester
for my article.

286
00:11:46,874 --> 00:11:48,274
[Paul] No way. No.

287
00:11:48,354 --> 00:11:50,634
[Opal] Come on.
Be a good girl, now.

288
00:11:50,714 --> 00:11:52,514
Oh, breaking.
A woman in Alabama

289
00:11:52,515 --> 00:11:54,593
is in an intimate relationship
with a houseplant.

290
00:11:54,594 --> 00:11:56,034
You got to hear this.

291
00:11:56,114 --> 00:11:59,314
'Tart's posted a brutal
takedown of 'Whoman's board.

292
00:11:59,394 --> 00:12:01,554
"A bunch of men
scratching their balls,

293
00:12:01,634 --> 00:12:03,314
"telling women what they want".

294
00:12:03,394 --> 00:12:06,554
We all love 'Tart', like
compared with 'Whoman',

295
00:12:06,555 --> 00:12:07,953
they write stories that matter.

296
00:12:07,954 --> 00:12:09,954
We do stories that matter, Pen.

297
00:12:10,034 --> 00:12:12,514
We've just got to be more edgy.

298
00:12:12,594 --> 00:12:15,194
[tense music]

299
00:12:15,274 --> 00:12:17,554
Lily, get that wellness
vertical up.

300
00:12:17,634 --> 00:12:19,314
You can do a podcast on it.

301
00:12:19,394 --> 00:12:22,354
I've got a good lead
on an orgasm workshop.

302
00:12:22,434 --> 00:12:23,714
I think it might work.

303
00:12:24,634 --> 00:12:27,194
In the meantime Pen,
give me 400 words

304
00:12:27,195 --> 00:12:28,913
on the woman in Alabama
that fucks the plant.

305
00:12:28,914 --> 00:12:31,794
[Evelyn] Okay,
how are the dailies?

306
00:12:33,554 --> 00:12:36,234
[Ginny] You look stiff.
I'm worried about you.

307
00:12:36,314 --> 00:12:38,674
You know, Jon's moved on.

308
00:12:38,754 --> 00:12:40,074
Good.

309
00:12:40,154 --> 00:12:43,834
Wish he'd move on out of
the family home. [sighs]

310
00:12:43,914 --> 00:12:47,994
I'm stiff because
I'm a workaholic.

311
00:12:49,234 --> 00:12:51,714
Oh, she admits it.

312
00:12:51,794 --> 00:12:54,274
You know, Simon's an osteopath.

313
00:12:54,354 --> 00:12:55,634
Yeah, I know.

314
00:12:55,714 --> 00:12:58,274
I'm not interested.
I mean, I don't even...

315
00:12:58,354 --> 00:13:00,994
I could have a look
at your neck.

316
00:13:01,074 --> 00:13:02,234
Oh.

317
00:13:02,314 --> 00:13:03,754
No, I'm, I'm fine.

318
00:13:03,834 --> 00:13:07,674
I just, I didn't sleep
last night.

319
00:13:07,754 --> 00:13:10,034
I haven't relaxed for 14 years.

320
00:13:10,114 --> 00:13:13,234
I'm guessing it's all
coming from your hips.

321
00:13:16,005 --> 00:13:20,353
I could have said
something really offensive

322
00:13:20,354 --> 00:13:21,713
- about osteopaths.
- But you didn't.

323
00:13:21,714 --> 00:13:22,913
I was literally about to say

324
00:13:22,914 --> 00:13:24,513
they're not real
fucking doctors.

325
00:13:24,514 --> 00:13:26,234
I've asked Kym to move in.

326
00:13:26,314 --> 00:13:28,754
What? You don't even know him.

327
00:13:28,834 --> 00:13:30,714
- Yes, I do.
- What star sign is he?

328
00:13:30,794 --> 00:13:32,914
I don't know.
I don't follow astrology.

329
00:13:32,994 --> 00:13:34,234
Aries? Libra?

330
00:13:34,235 --> 00:13:35,273
May 6th.

331
00:13:35,274 --> 00:13:37,874
That's Dad's birthday.

332
00:13:37,954 --> 00:13:42,954
Mum, you love having your
own space - with me and Jon.

333
00:13:42,955 --> 00:13:44,473
What about your
financial freedom?

334
00:13:44,474 --> 00:13:46,554
I like it when a man pays.

335
00:13:46,634 --> 00:13:48,594
Two steps forward,
one step back.

336
00:13:48,674 --> 00:13:50,874
Yes, but we're always ahead.

337
00:13:51,305 --> 00:13:53,393
He makes me laugh.

338
00:13:53,394 --> 00:13:54,954
I make you laugh.

339
00:13:55,034 --> 00:13:58,714
And I sing in the shower,
which you love.

340
00:13:58,715 --> 00:14:01,313
He treats me well, Ev,
better than your father did.

341
00:14:01,314 --> 00:14:04,204
Charles Manson would've treated
you better than Dad did.

342
00:14:04,274 --> 00:14:06,324
I thought he treated
those hippies well.

343
00:14:06,354 --> 00:14:08,874
- Oh.
- Loyal to the end, they were.

344
00:14:08,954 --> 00:14:11,194
Can't you be happy for me?

345
00:14:11,274 --> 00:14:13,674
[gentle music]

346
00:14:13,754 --> 00:14:16,554
[man] Welcome, welcome.
Thank you for coming.

347
00:14:16,634 --> 00:14:18,234
Thank you.

348
00:14:18,314 --> 00:14:19,394
- Welcome.
- Oh, hi.

349
00:14:19,474 --> 00:14:21,714
- I'm George.
- Hi, Evelyn Jones.

350
00:14:21,794 --> 00:14:23,874
I actually called yesterday.

351
00:14:23,954 --> 00:14:27,274
I'm hoping to run a piece
on the workshop

352
00:14:27,354 --> 00:14:29,314
for my website, 'Eve Life'.

353
00:14:29,394 --> 00:14:33,354
Do you enjoy watching people
being intimate, Evelyn Jones?

354
00:14:33,434 --> 00:14:37,314
Um, well, it depends on
what level of intimacy

355
00:14:37,315 --> 00:14:38,753
we're talking about. [chuckles]

356
00:14:38,754 --> 00:14:40,714
Well, it's not
a spectator sport.

357
00:14:40,794 --> 00:14:43,394
If you want to stay,
you're going to have to play,

358
00:14:43,395 --> 00:14:45,633
and then you can write
with lived experience.

359
00:14:45,634 --> 00:14:47,953
There's straight reporting,
too. [chuckles]

360
00:14:47,954 --> 00:14:50,794
I'm not really into
this kind of thing

361
00:14:50,874 --> 00:14:53,394
and I'm going through
a divorce, so...

362
00:14:53,474 --> 00:14:55,194
might be wasted on me.

363
00:14:57,354 --> 00:15:00,274
I don't have a partner.

364
00:15:00,354 --> 00:15:03,874
Denis, come out here.

365
00:15:03,954 --> 00:15:05,274
[gentle music]

366
00:15:05,354 --> 00:15:08,914
Denis, this is Evelyn.
She'll be your partner today.

367
00:15:08,994 --> 00:15:10,234
[Evelyn groans]

368
00:15:11,354 --> 00:15:13,634
[Denis] Welcome, Evelyn.
Don't worry.

369
00:15:13,714 --> 00:15:16,394
We won't see each other
again after today.

370
00:15:16,474 --> 00:15:18,154
[gentle music continues]

371
00:15:18,234 --> 00:15:19,714
Okay.

372
00:15:19,794 --> 00:15:21,754
[George] Come on in.

373
00:15:23,354 --> 00:15:26,274
[gentle music continues]

374
00:15:26,354 --> 00:15:28,274
- Ev!
- [Evelyn chuckles]

375
00:15:28,354 --> 00:15:30,354
- You made it.
- What is she doing here?

376
00:15:30,434 --> 00:15:33,274
Oh, I was going to do
a story on George,

377
00:15:33,354 --> 00:15:35,074
but he's making me participate.

378
00:15:35,154 --> 00:15:37,674
Are you serious?
This is meant to be about us.

379
00:15:37,754 --> 00:15:40,474
I'm not doing sex stuff
in front of her.

380
00:15:40,554 --> 00:15:42,274
Is this a group sex thing?

381
00:15:42,354 --> 00:15:44,354
Oh, my God, relax.

382
00:15:44,434 --> 00:15:46,194
It's a couple's workshop.

383
00:15:46,195 --> 00:15:47,593
George is the best in the biz.

384
00:15:47,594 --> 00:15:49,154
What biz?

385
00:15:49,155 --> 00:15:50,233
[Lucy] Intimacy.

386
00:15:50,234 --> 00:15:51,674
Who's your partner anyway?

387
00:15:51,675 --> 00:15:52,593
Denis.

388
00:15:52,594 --> 00:15:53,673
Who the fuck's Denis?

389
00:15:53,674 --> 00:15:56,274
The one in the sockettes.

390
00:15:56,354 --> 00:15:58,274
[hypnotic music]

391
00:15:58,354 --> 00:16:00,754
[George] Fall into their eyes.

392
00:16:01,514 --> 00:16:03,674
Feel yourself merging,

393
00:16:03,754 --> 00:16:06,154
with their physical presence.

394
00:16:08,514 --> 00:16:11,274
- Evelyn.
- Mm?

395
00:16:11,354 --> 00:16:12,674
A little closer.

396
00:16:12,754 --> 00:16:16,234
["Lebanese Blonde" by
Thievery Corporation playing]

397
00:16:16,314 --> 00:16:17,754
A little more.

398
00:16:19,354 --> 00:16:20,874
A tiny bit closer.

399
00:16:22,354 --> 00:16:23,994
[George] Surrender and submit.

400
00:16:23,995 --> 00:16:25,833
["Lebanese Blonde" by Thievery
Corporation playing]

401
00:16:25,834 --> 00:16:28,754
I see the pain in your regret.

402
00:16:28,834 --> 00:16:32,914
I see your beauty
and your courage.

403
00:16:32,994 --> 00:16:36,234
[George] Explore each other's
breath and body sensations.

404
00:16:36,314 --> 00:16:38,434
[Lucy] I see your lust.

405
00:16:39,274 --> 00:16:40,554
I want it.

406
00:16:40,634 --> 00:16:42,274
I see your love.

407
00:16:42,354 --> 00:16:44,194


408
00:16:44,195 --> 00:16:46,153
[George] We should all
feel safe in our bodies.

409
00:16:46,154 --> 00:16:48,233
So we can let go of pent-up
emotions and trauma.

410
00:16:48,234 --> 00:16:50,594

through the blinds

411
00:16:50,674 --> 00:16:52,794
[George] know
you're blindfolded,

412
00:16:52,874 --> 00:16:56,154
but look deeply
into your partner.

413
00:16:57,354 --> 00:17:00,274
Lucy! Lucy!

414
00:17:00,275 --> 00:17:02,833
[George] Now we're going to
mix things up a little.

415
00:17:02,834 --> 00:17:07,434
I want you to reveal a secret
to this new partner.

416
00:17:08,354 --> 00:17:11,474
Something, dirty.

417
00:17:12,354 --> 00:17:13,874
You're open now.

418
00:17:13,954 --> 00:17:17,034
Let's relish in that
vulnerability

419
00:17:17,114 --> 00:17:20,834
and speak your truth.

420
00:17:20,835 --> 00:17:23,793
- [Evelyn exhales]
- [Daniel clicks tongue]

421
00:17:23,794 --> 00:17:26,444
I don't really want to do this,
so let's just pretend

422
00:17:26,474 --> 00:17:28,834
that we've said something dirty.

423
00:17:28,914 --> 00:17:30,834
[Daniel exhales]

424
00:17:34,434 --> 00:17:36,474
Ev...

425
00:17:37,234 --> 00:17:39,234
I'm not happy.

426
00:17:39,314 --> 00:17:41,994
I don't know what's
going on, but... [inhales]

427
00:17:42,074 --> 00:17:43,314
Are you pretending?

428
00:17:43,394 --> 00:17:47,474
I'm not happy, and I
don't know what to do.

429
00:17:47,554 --> 00:17:50,434
She's doing all of this for you.

430
00:17:50,514 --> 00:17:52,434
She's pole dancing
for fuck's sake.

431
00:17:52,514 --> 00:17:54,314
She's terrible at it.

432
00:17:54,394 --> 00:17:57,154
She's having sex.
She hates sex.

433
00:17:57,945 --> 00:17:59,913
Stop it!

434
00:17:59,914 --> 00:18:01,834
Stop it?
I'm fucking stuck in this.

435
00:18:01,914 --> 00:18:03,274
Stop it!

436
00:18:03,354 --> 00:18:05,554
[groans] I can't...

437
00:18:05,634 --> 00:18:07,874
Where's Denis? I want Denis.

438
00:18:13,314 --> 00:18:15,954
[George] Tell your partner
what you see.

439
00:18:16,754 --> 00:18:18,434
We've spoken our truth.

440
00:18:18,514 --> 00:18:21,674
Now, let's sit in it.

441
00:18:24,074 --> 00:18:26,234
Okay... Um...

442
00:18:29,514 --> 00:18:33,194
I see your relatively
normal-sized head.

443
00:18:33,274 --> 00:18:37,594
I see your masculine energy.
It scares me, actually.

444
00:18:37,674 --> 00:18:40,554
I see your lack of self-care.

445
00:18:40,634 --> 00:18:42,474
I see your narcissism.

446
00:18:42,554 --> 00:18:44,354
I see your desperation.

447
00:18:44,434 --> 00:18:46,274
I see your anxiety.

448
00:18:46,354 --> 00:18:48,554
You're barely hanging on.

449
00:18:49,674 --> 00:18:52,154
Can you feel
the intimacy in that?

450
00:18:54,354 --> 00:18:56,474
He doesn't even know me.

451
00:18:59,234 --> 00:19:00,754
Trust him.

452
00:19:03,074 --> 00:19:04,834
Go on.

453
00:19:05,634 --> 00:19:08,674
[gentle music]

454
00:19:08,754 --> 00:19:10,714
I see...

455
00:19:12,714 --> 00:19:15,834
your generosity.

456
00:19:15,914 --> 00:19:19,554
[George] You are mirrors
for one another, Evelyn.

457
00:19:19,634 --> 00:19:22,634
And this is an exercise
in self-reflection.

458
00:19:27,634 --> 00:19:29,874
I see your damage...

459
00:19:31,114 --> 00:19:32,714
Your trauma...

460
00:19:33,354 --> 00:19:36,274
[gentle music continues]

461
00:19:36,354 --> 00:19:38,714
Do you mean your trauma?

462
00:19:43,354 --> 00:19:44,594
[George] Good.

463
00:19:44,674 --> 00:19:48,114
But now it's time to
forgive yourself, Evelyn.

464
00:19:48,194 --> 00:19:51,154
[emotive music]

465
00:19:53,954 --> 00:19:56,274
[hands clap]

466
00:19:56,354 --> 00:19:58,554
[group applauds]

467
00:19:59,354 --> 00:20:02,554
[gentle music continues]

468
00:20:02,634 --> 00:20:06,754
[Evelyn] I see your pain.
I see your anger.

469
00:20:08,234 --> 00:20:10,474
I know why you said, "No".

470
00:20:11,354 --> 00:20:13,754
I see your hurt.

471
00:20:15,074 --> 00:20:17,634
I see my blame.

472
00:20:17,714 --> 00:20:20,034
Have you been
day-drinking again?

473
00:20:20,674 --> 00:20:22,154
You encouraged me

474
00:20:22,234 --> 00:20:24,994
to start blogging
on the living room floor,

475
00:20:25,074 --> 00:20:26,274
then the coffee table.

476
00:20:26,354 --> 00:20:30,474
Then in the office when you
stained the coffee table.

477
00:20:30,554 --> 00:20:34,314
You lent me $39
for the 'Eve Life' URL.

478
00:20:34,394 --> 00:20:37,074
- I didn't pay you back.
- You didn't have to.

479
00:20:37,154 --> 00:20:38,834
It wasn't transactional.

480
00:20:38,914 --> 00:20:40,554
[Evelyn sighs]

481
00:20:40,634 --> 00:20:43,074
I've always believed in you.

482
00:20:45,554 --> 00:20:47,834
I just feel so anxious.

483
00:20:48,994 --> 00:20:50,274
Denis was right.

484
00:20:50,354 --> 00:20:53,154
I'm barely hanging on.

485
00:20:53,234 --> 00:20:56,354
- Who the fuck is Denis?
- It doesn't matter.

486
00:20:57,714 --> 00:21:00,514
I deserve a better deal.

487
00:21:00,594 --> 00:21:05,034
I undersold myself in
the settlement, out of guilt.

488
00:21:05,114 --> 00:21:06,164
And you know that.

489
00:21:06,234 --> 00:21:09,354
You knew it then,
and you know it now.

490
00:21:10,874 --> 00:21:13,914
I need your support, again.

491
00:21:13,915 --> 00:21:15,553
If you don't want
to sell the house,

492
00:21:15,554 --> 00:21:17,434
can you get a line of credit?

493
00:21:18,354 --> 00:21:20,154
I need the money, Jon.

494
00:21:20,234 --> 00:21:23,274
I can't just bail you out.

495
00:21:23,354 --> 00:21:25,714
[Evelyn sighs]

496
00:21:25,794 --> 00:21:27,274
But, if I was to help,

497
00:21:27,354 --> 00:21:29,314
I would need
a stake in the business,

498
00:21:29,394 --> 00:21:31,274
and some sort of plan.

499
00:21:31,354 --> 00:21:32,794
Yeah. I've got a plan.

500
00:21:32,874 --> 00:21:35,554
I want to further develop
the podcast channel.

501
00:21:35,634 --> 00:21:39,234
I mean, I know I'm onto
something big there.

502
00:21:39,314 --> 00:21:40,954
Can I think about it?

503
00:21:43,434 --> 00:21:46,234
Women's voices
deserve to be heard.

504
00:21:46,235 --> 00:21:48,473
[Vivian shouting]
You're a fucking asshole

505
00:21:48,474 --> 00:21:49,953
and I hate you
'til the day you die!

506
00:21:49,954 --> 00:21:52,154
- [door slams]
- Maybe not that one.

507
00:21:52,234 --> 00:21:53,284
[footsteps echo]

508
00:21:53,354 --> 00:21:54,674
Oh, dear.

509
00:21:54,754 --> 00:21:57,274
- What's happened?
- Nothing.

510
00:21:57,354 --> 00:21:59,914
Mate, Viv sounded pretty upset.

511
00:22:00,634 --> 00:22:02,074
We broke up.

512
00:22:02,154 --> 00:22:04,034
Oh. Why?

513
00:22:04,114 --> 00:22:07,274
I'm still figuring out
who I am, and she's bossy.

514
00:22:07,354 --> 00:22:09,274
It's not nice
to call girls bossy.

515
00:22:09,354 --> 00:22:12,274
Would you prefer she kept
her opinions to herself?

516
00:22:12,354 --> 00:22:13,554
Mum, she's exhausting.

517
00:22:13,634 --> 00:22:16,554
She wears everyone down,
even her friends.

518
00:22:16,634 --> 00:22:18,154
[tense music]

519
00:22:18,234 --> 00:22:20,474
Oh, I think
she's just misunderstood.

520
00:22:20,554 --> 00:22:23,714
Your first relationships
never end up well, mate.

521
00:22:23,794 --> 00:22:25,714
[footsteps pound]

522
00:22:26,674 --> 00:22:28,634
Where's Viv?
We were going to watch

523
00:22:28,714 --> 00:22:30,274
Winona Ryder's "Little Women".

524
00:22:30,354 --> 00:22:32,594
We broke up.

525
00:22:32,674 --> 00:22:34,274
I fucking hate this family.

526
00:22:34,354 --> 00:22:36,154
Hey!

527
00:22:39,354 --> 00:22:41,234
I see your pain.

528
00:22:44,594 --> 00:22:46,514
[Evelyn exhales]

529
00:22:48,194 --> 00:22:50,994
- [Sylvie] How's your week been?
- Terrible.

530
00:22:51,074 --> 00:22:53,954
[Sylvie] Worse than putting
your shoes on my couch?

531
00:22:54,034 --> 00:22:55,994
[Evelyn exhales]

532
00:22:56,074 --> 00:22:58,274
Can I try the weighted
blanket this time?

533
00:22:58,354 --> 00:23:00,434
Sure.

534
00:23:06,474 --> 00:23:08,594
[Evelyn] Ooh.

535
00:23:09,634 --> 00:23:12,794
Higher. Higher.

536
00:23:17,354 --> 00:23:19,594
No, I can't breathe.

537
00:23:21,634 --> 00:23:23,514
[Evelyn exhales]

538
00:23:29,354 --> 00:23:32,154
I went to an intimacy workshop.

539
00:23:35,794 --> 00:23:40,434
I was very gently
verbally abused by Denis.

540
00:23:40,514 --> 00:23:43,274
[Sylvie] Who the fuck's Denis?

541
00:23:43,354 --> 00:23:45,874
And I really responded to it.

542
00:23:46,514 --> 00:23:48,594
It did something to me.

543
00:23:50,034 --> 00:23:52,714
Elaborate.

544
00:23:52,715 --> 00:23:54,513
I'm just wondering
if my whole life's been

545
00:23:54,514 --> 00:23:57,954
a series of mistakes.

546
00:23:58,034 --> 00:24:02,914
The only real relationship
I've ever had is ruined.

547
00:24:02,994 --> 00:24:07,834
My daughter's doing everything
she can not to be like me.

548
00:24:07,914 --> 00:24:10,674
I don't even know how to
be a real friend anymore.

549
00:24:10,754 --> 00:24:15,314
I'm angry with Lucy
for giving up on herself.

550
00:24:15,394 --> 00:24:18,274
So I'm punishing her.

551
00:24:18,354 --> 00:24:21,834
[Sylvie] What if I was to tell
you, you are a good friend...

552
00:24:22,714 --> 00:24:24,634
and you are well loved.

553
00:24:24,714 --> 00:24:26,954
Wouldn't stop the self blame.

554
00:24:30,274 --> 00:24:31,714
Can I tell you what I think?

555
00:24:31,794 --> 00:24:33,594
Well, obviously.

556
00:24:33,674 --> 00:24:35,074
You shouldn't be alone.

557
00:24:35,154 --> 00:24:38,434
You know, as busy as you are,
you're isolated.

558
00:24:41,794 --> 00:24:44,714
I don't know how to do it.

559
00:24:44,715 --> 00:24:45,793
Do what?

560
00:24:45,794 --> 00:24:47,554
[gentle music]

561
00:24:47,634 --> 00:24:49,594
Be a woman.

562
00:24:51,794 --> 00:24:54,514
[gentle music continues]

563
00:25:06,794 --> 00:25:09,074
Oh, hi.

564
00:25:09,154 --> 00:25:11,714
Hi. You had the same idea.

565
00:25:11,794 --> 00:25:13,834
I often have this idea.

566
00:25:13,914 --> 00:25:16,634
Yeah, me too.

567
00:25:16,714 --> 00:25:20,354
Weird we haven't had the same
idea at the same time before.

568
00:25:21,394 --> 00:25:24,314
Must have just
missed each other.

569
00:25:24,394 --> 00:25:25,874
Until tonight.

570
00:25:30,354 --> 00:25:32,474
Do you mind if we don't talk?

571
00:25:33,634 --> 00:25:35,514
Perfect.

572
00:25:35,515 --> 00:25:38,353
["Crimson and Clover" by
Tommy James and the Shondells]

573
00:25:38,354 --> 00:25:42,474

I could love her

574
00:25:44,994 --> 00:25:49,114
