Original subtitles

- [Narrator] Previously on "Flunk."

(upbeat music)

- [Saffron] You're just not meant to do it are you?

Get with a friends ex?

- Tabby just needs to get used to the idea, that's all.

- She lies.

She steals and she messes with your head.

- Don't tell me who I can and can't be friends with.

This isn't some revenge thing, is it?

- Are you ever gonna get over that?

You know, you're actually all the same.

(upbeat music)

- You lied to me and I would never have known!

- Please, Dani.

It was like one white lie

and all of a sudden you don't trust me?

- She's in hospital.

- How did you take so many pills by accident?

- They said they might have permanent organ damage.

- Hey, I am always here for you.

- Ingrid needs friends, not another relationship.

She may be acting like everything's fine,

but deep down she's not.

And don't pretend you can't see the signs as well.

- Do you not like me anymore?

Is that it?

- I'm just kind of in a different head space, okay.

(upbeat music)

(peaceful music)

- [Therapist] Is there something you'd want to say to Dani?

- [Ingrid] Of course.

- From what you've told me,

it sounds like she's quite understanding.

- Well, yeah, it's just like,

I wanted one thing and she wanted something else.

And now I don't know what she's thinking.

- [Therapist] What do you want?

(peaceful music)

- [Ingrid] Everything to be normal again?

- [Therapist] Is there such a thing?

(peaceful music)

- [Ingrid] I just wanna go back to school

and forget the last few months ever happened.

- Do you feel like you're ready?

(peaceful music)

♪ Cause everybody knows ♪

♪ that I just can't help myself when I'm with you ♪

♪ so brand new ♪

♪ Cause everybody knows ♪

- Uh, you're gonna be late for the bus.

- I'll be down in a minute.

- I thought you knew not to mess with pills.

- [Mum] Do you have bins to take out?

- What did Dr. Bashir tell you?

- Take my pills - Take your pills

- at the same time every day. - at the same time every day.

- I'm better.

- I like the outfit.

Suits you.

Haven't heard from you.

- Wonder why?

- Would it kill you to just try and be normal?

- You wanna be friends?

Please, we're not even from the same planet.

- See you in class, then.

- You better hurry.

You couldn't be late.

- Can't ever say anything positive, can you?

- Nice corduroy.

(laughing)

(car door opening)

- Mum, can you go?

Everyone's gonna stare.

(car starting)

- And so she returns.

How are ya?

- Good, how are you?

- Good, thanks.

- Hmm, legalize.

- Both.

- Aren't gonna get in trouble for wearing that?

- Worked in the ACT, didn't it?

Man, if we went to school up there,

I could be smoking a cone right now

and the school could do Jack all about it.

- I meant the whole non-uniform thing.

What are you looking at?

- Guess you didn't get the memo on the psych ward.

- Tell me it's not-

- Casual Clothes Day, yeah.

- [Ingrid] Seriously?

- Gotta be better than a straight jacket though, right?

- You couldn't have told me?

- It's not my fault you're on a social media detox.

Don't let it wig you out.

- I'm going home to change.

- Look, okay, cool, I'll come with you then.

Or you can always wear this, hmm?

- No one should wear that.

- All right, how's this?

After school, come back to mine.

We shack, we'll chill.

Watch movies, play games.

- Sounds fun.

- All right.

Dani may or may not be there.

Come on, let's go.

No, you gotta do it.

- (scoffing) She's like so clueless.

- I'd rather die.

- She tried that already.

(both laughing)

Oh, can you imagine coming back

with everyone knowing what you did?

- Honestly, if I was Ingrid,

we wouldn't be talking.

- Ugh, she's such a mole. - Such a mole.

(rock music)

- (laughing) What is that?

- Never seen one before?

- No, just not that size.

I think it would fit perfect though.

- Have we met?

- I would've remembered.

- Yeah, she's been kind of like-

- Just dealing with some health stuff,

but I'm all good now.

- Yeah, yeah, well yeah.

- That's good.

- Sorry, is that meant to be a joke?

- Only if you find women's bodies amusing.

- Surely you could see how some students

would find it offensive.

- See, I like it, it's-

- Don't we have the right to express ourselves?

- Yes, but that's not what-

- Well, what about his shirt?

That's a political statement.

- I'm into hor-culture.

- Horticulture.

- Ugh, just take it off.

- You really disappoint me miss.

I would've thought you'd have the guts

to stand up to the patriarchy.

- Would you like me to get Mr. Mallows?

- Fine.

(all gasping)

Better?

- Heaps.

- I have nothing to be ashamed of.

- No you don't, no, not at all, ma'am.

- Staff room now.

(Ingrid scoffing)

- I like her.

- Okay, so who can name a musician

that was underappreciated in their time?

- (Brayden) Darude. No question about it.

- God you're such an idiot.

Ingrid?

- I wouldn't know, miss.

- (mocking) I wouldn't know, miss.

- All right, settle down.

All right, in the meantime,

we're gonna listen to some examples.

- What about Kurt Cobain?

Suicide made him heaps more popular.

- Wouldn't work for everyone.

- What are you trying to do, mate?

- [Jade] Actually, Nirvana was pretty popular

before he did that, so.

- What were the '80s like, miss?

- (scoffing) '90s, Ruby.

- Do you think Cobain did it just for the attention?

- You are so ignorant.

- Mate, that is it, all right?

I've had it! - You wanna go, you wanna go?

- Leave it!

You're in detention, leave it alone, leave it.

- Miss, he didn't start it.

- [Heidi] You're such a kiss-ass.

- [Jade] Where do you think you are going?

- Sorry, miss.

- [Jade] Sit.

- Mate, what are you doing?

- [Astrid] Hey,

what's up?

- Nothing, just, I ran outta storage.

- Don't you hate that?

- Mhm.

- So, do you wanna do something?

- Like what?

- We could go for a walk after school.

- (laughing) A walk?

Where?

- I don't know, see where it takes us.

- I'm not really the outdoorsy type.

- You had fun at the beach.

- For different reasons.

- Are you okay?

You seem really flat.

- It's just an hour with Miss O'Brian would do it to anyone.

= [Astrid] That's all it is?

- That's all it is.

What was that?

- You look like you needed it.

- Okay.

- So later?

- I'll check my diary.

- Okay.

(water running)

- I'm in control.

People care about me.

I can rise above..

(footsteps)

Sorry, I was-

- It's fine.

I chat to myself all the time.

Like why did I decide to wear this?

- It's cool. I like it.

Trust me. I would know.

- Oh, cool thanks.

(laughing)

- You don't have to pretend.

- I'm not.

(knocking)

- Ingrid!

Either you're mad constipated-

- Get out!

Now!

- You're gonna have to come out

sooner or later.

(upbeat music)

- What are you doing later?

Mums away.

- Sweet. I'll bring my bong.

- Not you.

- Are you sure?

- I cleaned the pool!

- [Brayden] Really?

Sweet, pool party!

- What are you doing?

- You don't want it to just be the two of yous,

do ya?

- You might wanna lock that down.

(gasps) Ow!

- Oh, are you okay?

- Bullseye. (laughs)

- Seriously mate?

You think that's funny mate?

- [Harry] It wasn't me.

You are such a loser! Hurting chicks.

- Whoa, whoa, what?

Why are you thinking it was me?

- (laughs) Sorry.

I'm, uh, terrible at basketball.

Do you wanna get your head checked, Ingrid?

- I think you need to get your head checked.

Honestly, Ruby.

- Just leave it.

- No, seriously.

This is this ridiculous. - Stop!

- Geez!

- (mockingly) Geez!

- Swear to God.

Ingrid!

(pill bottle moving)

(locker closing)

- You gotta stop following me.

- How could I be following you?

We collided head on.

I'm looking for Ingrid.

- Maybe she'll be at your pool party.

Hear everyone's invited except me.

- Would you like to come?

- Hmm.

I wouldn't miss it.

(basketball bouncing)

- Here, down low.

Back, back back.

- Oi, what's she doing?

- Mate, nice try.

- No, look.

- (laughing) Priceless.

- You're gonna jump for what?

- (Brayden) Shut up, mate!

- Have you guys seen Ingrid?

- She's on the roof.

- What?

- Go on, do a flip.

- [Celeste] You say one more thing like that

and I'll-

- And what?

- I'll report you.

Both of you.

- I'm terrified.

- You should be.

because inciting someone to commit suicide

is a crime.

- And going topless in the hallway isn't?

- It shouldn't be.

- Well, someone's gotta get her down, all right?

- You'll get suspended.

- I, I don't care.

- But let me, let me, let me do it.

- You barely know her.

- I know what she's going through.

- Do a double!

- Not so busy after all.

- Actually I kind of am.

- It's just an idea.

- Something I, I have to go to.

- It's fine, really.

- You could be my plus one.

- You're not talking about Saffron's party, are you?

- Maybe.

- And you don't think that will be weird?

- Well, why would it be?

- You can't think of any reason?

- Well, I was just thinking free drinks.

Free pool.

So?

- Sounds good.

- How many rotations do you reckon you could stick, Ingrid?

- Shut up mate!

- Seriously, there's something wrong with you.

- Come on Ingrid, we don't have all day.

- Oh, I can't watch.

- What's Celeste doing?

- Look how small they all look.

- Come on. Show the patriarchy who's boss.

Woo! - Yeah!

- Can I help you?

- Just here for the suicide pact.

- Do me a favor and go patronize someone else.

- You shouldn't be afraid to talk about your mental health.

- And what would you know?

- Why do you think I left my old school?

- Did everyone there hate you as well?

- No,

just 99% of the population.

- Go on!

- All of you, inside now!

- Miss we're halfway through our game.

- Not anymore you're not.

Give me the ball.

- Hey miss,

if she jumps, we get the rest of the day off, right?

- That's enough inside.

You too.

- The universe is like it's like yin and yang.

Most people suck.

Yeah.

But then sometimes you get people who are really special.

So you can't have one without the other.

- Wow, you should put that on a poster.

- Oh, totally.

It's tattoo goals.

- Ugh, don't even get me started.

- Do I wanna know?

- No.

- Ingrid, Are you okay?

You know the roof is out of bounds.

- It's my fault, miss.

- What?

- Yeah, I, uh, dead anchored to get an aerial shot

of the yard for a video I'm making.

- Can I see it?

- I, I just left my phone in my locker.

That's where we we're going.

- Right, and this is the official version of events then?

- Yeah.

- I guess I'll have to put you both on detention.

Come on.

(drumming on table)

- Okay. Enough.

- Sorry. I'm just trying to express myself.

- Quiet.

- Miss, how much longer do you reckon we'll be in here?

- Well, you just got here.

So another 55 minutes.

- Oh, hope you're getting paid over time.

- That is none of your business.

- That's a no.

- I don't do this job for the money.

- Why do you do it then, miss?

- Because I love to see all of you

delightful children every day.

- Said the priest to the choir boy.

- That is offensive.

- You just wanna ban any statements that we make

don't you?

Would you prefer me to sit here in silence?

- Ideally.

You know what?

Keep talking and we'll do this all again tomorrow.

- Oh, come on, that's bull!

- Finish your English assignment.

- Miss.

How do you spell oppression?

- Okay, explain.

- Haven't you ever savored your freedom?

Not everyone's as lucky as us, you know.

- Was everyone at your old school so-

- Enlightened?

Passionate?

- Yeah, sure.

- I mean they were passionate about

AFL, getting wrecked every weekend.

- Surely there's someone you miss from your old school?

- My music teacher was a lot better.

I didn't have a Brayden there

if that's what you're getting at.

- That's why one in a million babes.

All natural.

- No, no.

We're not together or anything.

- Really, come on.

- As if.

Ah, she's way out of my league.

- No argument there.

- So you coming to Saffron's pool party?

- Mm.

Celeste you're going to be there, right?

- Yeah. Meet all the boys

- Sure, why not?

- Awesome.

Lovely.

(aerosol spraying)

(coughing)

- Steady on.

- Too much?

- I could smell it from the house.

- Yeah right.

- Hey, are you going somewhere?

- What's it to you?

- Can't I show an interest?

- There's only one thing you are interested in.

So just ask it.

- Okay.

How did Ingrid get on, you know,

first day back and everything?

- Hmm. Let me think,

you should ask you yourself.

- What's a big deal.

- See, you're my sister.

- Oh, don't remind me.

- So I don't wanna know about all these little flings.

- Hey Ingrid wasn't a-

- Ah, see, I don't give her stuff, so.

- Can you at least tell me if she's okay.

- Well, she's coming to the party,

isn't she?

- Oh, hence your weekly shower.

I guess she'll call me when she's ready.

- You're always this clingy?

- You know, you should probably spray on a bit more.

- Really?

(continues spraying)

- Bit much for netball.

- Netball.

Right.

- Sorry, the door was open.

I did shout.

- Tabbs.

- Yeah?

- Promise you won't be mad.

- Again. You're the one who begged me to join the team.

- So you didn't hear.

- Well, obviously not.

- Having a party.

- Here?

- Yeah, well mum's away, so.

- Who talked you into that?

- No one, it was meant to be just me and Ingrid.

And then before I knew it

Brayden pretty much about our

whole year- - Great, chill!

It sounds good.

Relax.

I'm kind of over netball anyway.

- Really?

- Yeah, I mean,

if that Willow girl shoves me one more time,

I swear.

So who's going?

- Oh, um, you know.

People.

Do you want to borrow a dress?

- Yeah.

- This would look really good on you.

- Thanks.

Saff?

- Yeah?

- You're like super stressed.

- No, I'm not.

- What's wrong?

- Might have invited someone

I shouldn't have.

- Tell me you didn't.

- Heidi really want it to come!

I mean, I think she did.

She could have just been messing with me.

I actually don't know much about that.

- You know what,

I could do with the exercise.

- What?

Tabbs, she, she probably isn't even gonna show up.

- That's exactly what she'll do.

- Oh, why can't I be like everyone else?

- Mm, yeah, good question.

- It's like he gets off on saying no

to absolutely everything.

- Dad's just worried about you, okay?

- I can't even have friends now?

- Not all friends are a good influence, are they?

- Don't start that again.

- Well, mum needs your help.

- [Mum] Do I?

- Apparently I'm not even allowed

to go to my friend's house to study.

- Really, study.

- Oh, shut up.

You don't know Saffron

she gets like straight A's.

= What then go.

- But I thought he said-

- Your dad just doesn't want you hanging around with

other people who get you into trouble again.

- Yeah, I know.

- But.

Saffron sounds like she's responsible.

(upbeat party music)

- Oh, I can't.

- It's raspberry.

You can hardly taste the vodka.

- No, really, I'm good.

- Is it cause of your busted libel?

- Well, for me then.

Seriously?

- What are you even doing here?

- Just hanging out with my friends.

- Oh, ah,

who were they again?

(upbeat music)

- Can you believe some people?

- At least nobody's spewed over anything.

- The night's still young.

- Should have been at my last gathering.

- Kinda needed an invite.

- I must have messaged you.

- Since when do you wanna talk to me?

- Nice outfit.

(upbeat music)

- (Celeste) Hey.

- So not all for me.

- It's not poison.

- I was just gonna ask like,

do you know what brand this cracker is?

- It's cheese.

- Okay.

- Have fun.

You have to eat ethically, you know?

- Mhm.

- Do you wanna get outta here?

- What, just the two of us?

Yeah, I mean,

unless you wanna invite the sociopath?

- Okay, cool.

- Good bro.

- Great.

(splashing)

- Oh, I'm going to kill you.

- We are soaking wet.

- Whoa. Too much information.

- I'm gonna go dry off.

- Thanks a lot.

- There's a hair dryer in my room

second drawer on the wardrobe.

- Legend, thank you.

- So is the water warm or what?

- Do you want me to find out?

Do you reckon there a thing?

- Probably.

- What makes you say that?

- Her outfit.

- What does your outfit say about you?

- That I work out like four times a week.

- Wow, you ain't kidding.

- So you heading in or what?

- No, I only get in for 28 degrees or more

kind of rule.

- Maybe it is.

- (laughing) Stop!

- Hey come on! - No I'm not going in!

- Okay, Okay.

(laughing)

Let's go!

- What are we doing?

- Just keep your eyes closed.

Keep them closed.

Keep them closed.

Okay.

And open them.

(laughing)

I found out when I was looking for Saffron's hair dryer

explains the whole Stepford wives thing she's got going on,

doesn't it?

- Oh, come on.

There's more to Saffron than that.

And plus you shouldn't be looking through

other people's things.

- Believe me,

you do not wanna see what was in her other drawer.

- Really?

- Oh, Oh.

So now you're interested.

- So what if I am?

- Wouldn't wanna get caught?

Anyone could walk in.

- Yeah, like who?

- Yeah, like Brayden never seems

to let you out of his sight.

- I thought we already went through this.

There's nothing going on between me and Brayden.

I'm not exactly into guys.

- Oh, okay.

Cool.

There was me thinking you saved his first born

from drowning or something.

What's with all the Brayden questions anyway?

- Just interested in people.

- People.

- Sure.

- Maybe someone in particular.

- Yeah?

- Yeah, you gotta admit it.

He's kind of cute.

- What?

- Yeah, I mean like Brayden

has to take a look at some of his really toxic biases,

no question,

but he's pretty funny.

- Yep.

He's a real joker.

- Don't you wanna see the rest?

- No, I'm good.

- You think that's ball skills mate?

You've seen nothing yet.

- Harry's with me.

- No way. That's not fair.

- Saffron can be on your team.

- Yeah.

No thanks.

You sure you don't wanna play?

- I'm fine just watching.

The water looks freezing.

- How can we cope without her?

- What about guys versus girls?

- Typical male arrogance.

- So what are the rules again?

- Hey, do you wanna go chill somewhere?

- You don't let the ball hit the water.

It's pretty simple.

- You start by double hitting it,

but pushing, carrying-

- Oh, you just love mansplaining, don't you.

- Let him finish.

- I'd like to know.

- Typical.

- What's that supposed to mean?

- Heidi.

Can't just play, you gotta play perfectly.

- You're being ridiculous.

- Oh, I'm being ridiculous?

- Ow!

- She should get a point for that, surely.

- Can we just play?

- Think your girlfriend's left.

- Hey.

Hey Astrid. You just,

just walked off without saying goodbye.

- So you did notice.

I was just caught up in the game, okay?

- Yeah, that's so true.

- Well, I don't know.

Do you wanna go somewhere else?

- I don't think I can.

- Okay.

- Why did you invite me?

It's pretty obvious.

- What?

- It isn't over between you and Saffron.

- All right, well that's news to me.

- Is it?

- My sister bought it in Milan.

What do you think?

- Yeah, it looks great on you.

- Careful wouldn't wanna have to pump your stomach.

- You have absolutely no idea what you're talking about.

- Ingrid, tell me,

what's it like being in a room without

any sharp objects at all?

- Mate, do you ever shut up?

- Didn't realize you were kissing Ingrid's ass.

- Oh, you think you're so clever, don't you?

With your little snide remarks.

Just shut up, all right mate?

A little bit of sensitivity wouldn't hurt, would it?

All right? - Please.

- Just don't worry about it, Ingrid.

Just shut up.

- What are you gonna do about it?

- He's just saying what everyone's thinking.

It's not like she's gonna be around much longer.

- Okay. Enough.

So you know what I did to myself.

So what, imagine what I'd like to do to you?

- Ooh, is that a threat?

- Actually?

Yeah.

(splashing)

(laughing)

(teasing)

- I'm gonna kill her.

I'm actually gonna do it this time.

- You shouldn't say things like that.

- Yeah, no, maybe you're right.

I'll wait and she can just do it herself.

- She was just defending herself.

- Poor defenseless Ingrid, please.

You don't know her.

- Yeah, I actually do though.

- Oh, so you're okay with what she did to Harry?

Like wrecked his life.

- Everyone makes mistakes.

- But we can't call Ingrid out for hers, can we?

- Put this on.

- Little help?

Or you're just like everybody else?

There's two sides to every story, you know?

- Okay.

- So tell me,

- Like you'd listen.

- Maybe I'll surprise you.

- Forget it.

- Whatever.

- Surprised Ruby didn't sock Ingrid in the eye after that.

- Because that'd be hilarious.

- Why do you always defend her man?

- Cause she doesn't deserve it.

- Yes she does. In case you forgot.

- Mate.

Honestly, just imagine this.

You wore her down and she finally, you know,

goes through with it.

How would you feel then?

Tell me the truth.

- Whatever.

You're just cooked, honestly.

- Hello, hello, hello.

- Hey.

Hope you gave him a piece to your mind.

- Big time.

- Yeah. What do you know?

Not every guy in this town is an ignoramus .

- I would never ignore an anus.

Sorry, I must still have water in my ear.

- That was me about to ask

if you wanted to hang some time.

- Hmm?

- Don't suppose you're accustomed

to being asked out by a girl.

- No, I am all the time.

Ingrid knows, tell her all about it.

- Yep.

- So when you gonna do it?

Well, I've got a blue belt tournament this weekend, so.

Just keep that in mind.

- So how was studying?

- Got there in the end.

- Right?

But you didn't even bring your books with you.

- It was a long walk I used Saffron's.

- Right.

(rustling through the drawer)

- Has someone been in here?

- A little too old for the tooth fairy,

aren't you?

- It's not funny. I need them.

- What for?

- You get what happened, right?

The first step in fixing a problem is acknowledging it.

- So what you did something dumb.

- Yeah, really, really dumb but,

intentionally.

- Thanks for the t-shirt.

- It's okay.

I have like a thousand.

- Everyone's gone.

- You should too.

You'll be here all night doing this by yourself.

- Like I've got anything better to be doing.

- Hey, what's the deal with that Astrid girl?

The one with Heidi.

Who cares?

I heard you guys were a thing.

- For all of five seconds.

Why are you helping me?

- Here?

- Didn't manage to sell them then?

- It's not the reason why I took them.

- No, you just wanted to mess with me.

- No, I was reading about it online.

- Why?

- It's how you learn.

You should try that sometime.

- It's fine. It's my prescription.

- So what? I don't get to know what you're dealing with.

- Have you tried asking?

- Well, yeah 'cause you'd totally tell me.

- It's not your problem.

- Well, you're my sister.

So.

(phone ringing)

- Hey, it's Saffron if you'd like to leave a message,

just leave your name and number

and I'll get back to you shortly.

Bye!

(phone buzzes)

- Are you gonna get that?

- Is that what you want?

- Why we here?

- Why do you think?

What?

I saw the way you looked at me.

- When?

- I've seen it a hundred times before.

You act like you're not, but I can tell.

- No.

- Don't say another word.

(phone buzzes)

- Well, howdy stranger.

- It's not been that long.

- You know, I almost didn't realize who was calling.

I was like Ingrid, Ingrid who?

Oh, right.

- Wait, is this Dani?

I think I butt dialed you by mistake.

- Easily done.

I actually butt answered.

- I don't think that's a thing.
