(relaxing music) (birds chirping)

- Ah, she's alive then.

- You made breakfast?

- It didn't make itself.

What?

- Nothing, just, here was me thinkin' you'd be gone.

- A girl's got to eat.

- Oh no, I couldn't.

- Suit yourself.

- Can't believe how much I drank.

- You seemed fine.

- Trust me, I'm feeling it.

- Same.

- Yeah?

- Totally.

Can't remember a thing.

- Bit of a blur?

- Yeah. - Yeah

- Thanks for letting me crash.

- It's cool.

(lips smacking faintly)

- See you at school.

- Mm hmm.

(upbeat music fading)

- Uh.

Debate club?

- Thanks. - No worries.

- [Brayden] What's up?

- [Ingrid] Nothing.

- Pizza or laser tag?

- For what?

- To take Celeste on a date.

- (scoff) Do you know her at all?

She's into like art and culture

and she's all sophisticated.

- Right, so pizza?

- Mm, yes, the height of fine dining.

- Well they do pasta as well, so.

Yo, Celeste.

- Hm? Hey!

- [Brayden] What are you up to tonight?

- Uh, seeing some friends.

- Rejected.

- Shut up. - Why?

- I was wondering if you guys were up to hang?

- Oh, it's probably not really your scene.

Uh, and you know, 'guys' isn't very inclusive.

- Right, um, that's fine.

It's cool.

That's uh, it's whatever.

- That was painful.

- Was it?

- [Ingrid] Just let him down gently, okay?

- Why would I do that?

- You're actually interested in him?

- Yo, Bray!

Uh, I could probably fit you in

before I see my friends, if you like?

- Yeah. Sweet.

Whatever.

Cool.

(students chattering)

(people chatting faintly)

- Hey.

- Hey.

- Heard about last night.

- What do you mean?

- Got a bit wet, did we?

In the pool?

- Oh, yeah.

That, it's no biggie.

- Ingrid pushed you in, didn't she?

- Yeah, it really doesn't matter.

- Did something else happen?

- No.

- It did, didn't it?

Did you hook up with someone?

- No.

No one that you would know, so.

- Okay, please, I know everyone.

- Okay, well, maybe I just don't wanna tell you.

All right?

- Why?

Does he have a girlfriend?

- Can you just drop it?

- Guess you're the side piece then.

(footsteps falling)

(marker knocking against desk)

- What you doing?

- Studying.

- Mm, right.

Have you, um, seen Saffron?

- Yeah.

It's this yellow stuff.

It's kind of expensive.

Goes in curries.

- (laughs) You're such a freak.

- Thank you.

You know, I really appreciate that.

- You guys are like always talking.

Surely you know where she is?

- Oh, yeah, no.

Damn.

Telepathy is not working today.

- Why did I bother?

- That's a good question.

Why do you care all of a sudden?

- I don't

- Sure.

- I don't, okay.

I just needed her help with a history assignment.

- (scoffs) So send her a message.

Probably just hung over or something.

Or she's avoiding somebody.

- You think?

- Yes, no,

I don't care.

(footsteps falling)

(marker thunks on table)

(very soft music)

- "Danielle, you can't go to a birthday party in jeans!"

"Oh, well, but what if it's my birthday party?"

"Well, you're gonna thank me one day!"

- I thought your parents were cool

with you being gay?

- Yeah, they were.

They are, but you know,

being gay and shopping in the men's section

are two completely different situations for my mother.

- Mm.

So you're really gonna get rid of all this stuff?

- Yep.

Bad memories.

(soft music)

- Gee, who got you this?

- I'll give you three guesses.

- Ew.

- I mean, it's yours, if you want it.

It's like, definitely your style.

- Gee, thanks.

- What?

- Seems like a bit of a waste, that's all.

- Yeah, well, sometimes

you just got to let things go.

(soft music)

- Mm-hm.

(soft music)

- You don't fancy coming clubbing, do you?

- Oh, no!

I left my glow sticks at home.

- Have you ever been?

- Yeah, the whole weird foot guy thing.

- Right, yeah. (laughs)

I mean to a gay club.

(soft music)

Do you wanna maybe come with me?

- I don't know.

- We could dance.

Could be fun.

- What would I wear?

(shirt rustles)

(Ingrid laughs)

(Dani laughs)

- Saff?

Saffron?

Wake up, Saffron!

- (Groans) What are you doing here?

- I lost my wallet.

I must have left it somewhere.

- And what?

You just didn't feel like knocking?

- The door was open.

- Last time I'm having a party.

- Your shirt's on backwards. (laughs)

- I like it like that.

- I never took you for such a big drinker.

- [Saffron] I'm not.

- Just a lightweight then?

- Actually,

I think there's a stomach bug going around.

- And here I was thinking you'd be in bed by 11,

with 20 of your little friends.

- What?

(Heidi chuckles)

- It's adorable.

In a really creepy kinda way. (laughs)

- Stop.

- This will help.

- Yeah,

'cause I really want to throw up again.

- Haven't you ever heard of hair of the dog?

You keep drinking so you stay a little bit drunk

until your hang over just wears off.

- How stupid do you think I am?

- You tell me.

- Fine.

- I'll hold her for you. (giggles)

(drink gurgling)

(soft music)

- Definitely screams baby gay on the loose.

- People will so know it's my first time.

- Mm, probably.

But so what?

It is, right?

(soft music)

- And what was this one all about?

- It was a gift.

- All of it?

- Yep, it even came with lace underwear.

- From who?

(soft music)

Forget it.

I think you missed one.

That one goes, um...

- Well, I'm sorry.

It's kind of been a while.

(both chuckle)

- Actually, it looks better that way.

- Yeah, it's certainly a statement.

(Ingrid chuckles)

- What's with all the different aesthetics?

- Uh, I guess it took me a while to figure things out.

- I suppose you're not the only one.

(soft music)

(lips smacking) (soothing music)

(Saffron makes sound of disgust)

- Why are people so dumb?

- I think you missed one.

- You could help.

- Ugh, but you are doing such a good job.

- Heidi.

(bag rustling) (faint traffic humming)

Mom is going to kill me when she gets back.

She made me promise not to have any more parties.

- All right, well, you pick up, I'll hold.

(Saffron groans)

(bag rustles)

- You sure? (Giggles)

- Ugh.

That's gross.

(breath whooshes)

- It's kind of weird hanging out again.

- (scoffs) Yeah.

Let's do this more often!

- You know what I mean.

- (chuckles) Well, go on.

There's plenty more rubbish to pick up.

- It really hurts when I bend down.

- Sounds like somebody's sobering up.

Better fix that.

Go on.

(bird chirping) (faint traffic humming)

(Laughs) Get it in your mouth, mate.

- Ew.

- What?

- Oh, nothing.

I just wasn't expecting it, that's all.

- Oh well,

there's a girl taking her clothes off in my room.

What am I supposed to do?

(both chuckle)

This is okay, isn't it?

- Mm-hm.

I really should have done this that day at the beach.

- The day you told me you wanted to just be friends?

- Things are different now.

- In what way?

- I mean, you're better?

Like I, I know it's a process

and it's something that you're managing,

but you're out of the woods.

- For sure.

- You are, aren't you?

- Mm-hm.

- Okay, obviously I've said something.

- No I'm, I get it, um.

No one wants to date a crazy girl.

- Yeah, I never said that.

- You didn't have to.

- I just, it didn't seem like the right time.

- (scoffs) You know what was crazy?

I spent like weeks thinking about it.

It was kind of sad.

Like, how did I read the signs so wrong?

- You didn't.

- (chuckles) Well, I know that now.

- Better late than never.

(Ingrid laughs)

- I don't think this is really me.

- I have more stuff in the shed.

There might be something in there that you like.

- More plaid shirts?

- Oh definitely.

(both chuckle)

- Okay.

- Who's this?

- Oh, come on.

You didn't drink that much.

- [Saffron] Uh, yeah, sorry, now's not really a good time.

Um, still cleaning up.

- Will your parents go ape?

- If I don't crack on.

- Well, you need a hand?

- Couldn't ask you to do that.

- What? I'm not doing anything.

- Got this migraine thing happening too, actually.

- Right, yeah.

That sucks.

- Get 'em all the time.

No biggie, probably just need a few days.

- Hey Saff?

- I think I hear mom, coming up the driveway.

We'll catch up properly soon, yeah?

- Yeah. Yeah.

(birds chirping)

(Sighs)

(door squeaking)

(footsteps falling)

- Behold, The Fortress of Solitude.

- (laughs) Well, I've got a date tonight.

- Oh, I didn't know Ed was back.

- With a chick.

Ingrid, tell her about Celeste.

- She does exist.

- But?

Well, come on, there's gotta be something wrong with her.

- I mean, she's artsy, a little bit Gothic

and pretty smart.

- And insane?

- Look, did you come down here for a reason?

- My box of clothes.

There's really cute stuff in there, I promise.

It's, hey, Aha!

Why is it open?

- See, she's just angry now 'cause

no one's into her anymore, so.

- I mean, she kind of has a point though.

Celeste?

- Why not Celeste?

- You don't really seem like her type.

- Course I am.

What chick doesn't like a guy with muscles?

- Mm, artsy types, militant feminists.

I feel like Celeste would be more into someone

who was edgy and mature, deep and thoughtful.

- And what? That's not me?

(both chuckles)

- (groans) Can you bring that rubbish bag over here?

- I'm tired.

Just throw the cup.

I bet you throw like a girl.

- Sexist, much?

(Heidi chuckles)

Why do I ever listen to you?

- And here I was thinking you'd be into softball.

The gayest sport.

- Does cheerleading count?

- No.

(both chuckle)

Forget about the cup.

(clears throat)

You just focus on finishing the bottle.

- Ugh.

Didn't think you'd wanna help me.

- I'm just looking for my wallet.

- Sure.

- (scoffs) I am.

(gagging) - Ugh! Oh, God.

- Oh my God. I'm so sorry.

- Ugh!

Are you okay?

(Heidi laughs)

Maybe you should just jump in the pool.

(Both laughing)

You could have gone that way,

but no, you went straight onto yourself.

- This is a hundred percent your fault.

(Saffron laughing) - Oh, I don't know about that.

(footsteps falling)

- You don't have to keep looking, this will do.

- No, course I do.

You have to be comfortable with...

Oi?

Is that my shirt?

- Well, you never wore it.

- And never will again.

- Ugh, tell me this isn't to impress Celeste.

- Hey, what's wrong with trying to express myself?

- (chuckles) Nothing.

It's great. (chuckles)

(camera clicking) - Really?

- Don't you think she's gonna see straight through you?

- Yeah, literally. (laughs)

- You can talk.

Double denim went out in like the nineties.

- Oi, shut up, she looks hot.

The whole club is gonna be checking you out.

- Hmm.

- Right. Well, good luck and...

- You too.

(footsteps falling)

(faint traffic humming)

(club music)

Seems busy.

- What do you expect?

Friday night is when it all happens.

- Do you know anyone who's going to be here?

- Uh, yeah, a few.

(club music)

- Is there gonna be anywhere quiet to sit?

- Maybe a toilet cubicle?

Come on. We're here to dance.

- Don't you want to get food or something?

- If I do I won't be able to move.

It's gonna be fine.

You're gonna have fun,

I promise.

- Yeah, I know.

It's just like blood sugar and all that.

- Hey.

I've got you, okay?

(crowd chattering) (club music)

(cicadas chirping) (faint traffic humming)

- Hey.

- S'up?

- New look?

I like it.

- Well, it's cool, I mean, whatever.

- So, so different.

- People do say I'm different all the time.

- Right, better than being indifferent, I guess.

- Right.

- Uh, so are we going somewhere or...

- We're here.

- Th, this is it?

- Yeah.

- The War Memorial?

- Yeah, I like to come here, you know?

Think about deep stuff, you know?

War, death, spirits, Shakiras, stuff like that.

- (laughs) I didn't know you were so introspective.

I honestly thought

you were gonna take me bowling or something.

- Bowling?

That's like $20 plus shoe hire.

No way! (laughs)

(gasps) Well, that's kind of what I've heard anyway, so.

- Right.

- Would you like a drink?

- Yes, please.

- Told you, you were a light-weight.

- No, you told me to keep drinking.

- Yeah, well I was just trying to help.

It's not my fault you can't keep up.

- Shouldn't you be hanging out with Asteroid

or whatever her name is?

(Heidi laughs)

- Why do you care?

- Didn't you come here to look for something?

- Yeah, I found it.

(dog barking)

(dance music)

- Hey, so, you know before,

when we were talking about the whole

not just wanting to be friends thing?

- Yeah, yeah, we're friends.

- Like, just friends?

You're so clever.

How did I know you'd be the type of person

to judge someone on their appearance?

- Having a good time there?

- Sorry, babe, not everyone's as cultured as me.

- Oh, no, yeah, that's Brayden, all right.

Real deep and thoughtful.

- It is.

- Mm, he, uh, writes about some pretty dark stuff.

Got a few demons, don't you?

Read her one of your poems!

- Nah!

- You write poetry?

- No, what? No.

- Ah, come on.

Don't be shy.

He made someone cry in music once.

- Ed doesn't count.

- I'd love to hear one of your poems.

(Brayden exhales)

- Ah, nah, it's too, too soon, too tragic.

Me granddad died in the war.

They need to put a stop to that war business, I reckon.

- Right.

- How old was he?

- Um, young, fairly young.

Tragic.

So he'd be...

- Right, and how old's your mom?

- Um...

- Because the war ended in 1945.

- Sure?

- Wow. (laughs)

No, no, I meant 'Nam!

It was, I meant 'Nam.

- I didn't ask to hang out with you

so you could pretend to care about important things.

- I wasn't pretending.

- There's only one thing worse than

someone who's ignorant.

Someone who's dishonest.

- Couldn't just let me have this one,

- It's not my fault she's so touchy.

- Celeste, just let me explain.

- What's the point, Brayden?

- Oh, come on!

- Hi.

(Heidi and Saffron laugh)

- You can't judge these 'til you try them.

- Ugh, the thought of eating them makes you wanna-

- Hey, weren't you looking for her?

- Nah.

- Uh, let's just go home.

- That's not what you said before.

- Well, it's not important.

(Heidi laughs)

(both laughing)

- It's not Halloween yet, mate.

- Why's your face so scary then?

- (laughs) Do you lose a bet or something?

- Hey, I don't feel so great.

- Did you drink too much?

- No.

- (laughs) Say that to your pool.

- Nah, I get that.

You have one, two, then a six pack.

They all goin' missing!

And then you do something fully cooked.

- Do you need someone to look after you?

- She's okay.

- I'll call you.

- Why?

(upbeat dance music)

- Hey, can I talk to you for a sec?

C'mon. Let's go.

- Now?

- Trust me.

- Don't you just love this song?

- This is really important.

- I think your girlfriend wants you to leave.

- I'll just be one minute, okay?

(girl laughs)

(upbeat dance music)

- Look, I'm sorry about Ruby.

She's, you know, a stirrer.

- Yeah, she's not the only one.

- So what?

I exaggerated a little bit.

Shoot me.

- Yeah, and there was me thinking

I would never reconsider my stance on gun ownership.

- Geez, sorry for trying.

- Little too hard, mate.

- You know, it's not my fault I've never been on a...

- On a date before?

I'm shocked.

- Well, it's, you know.

You're so...

I'm so...

We're different.

- Yeah.

- What was I supposed to do?

Invite you back to my shack to play video games?

- Depends. You any good?

- Serious?

- You haven't seen me with an energy sword.

- But I thought chicks hate gaming?

- Might want to try being more inclusive next time, Brayden.

- Next time?

(horn honks)

- What's wrong?

- You're welcome.

- For what?

- Rescuing you.

- (scoffs) Listen, I was doing just fine in there.

- Yeah? That girl was being super pushy.

- No, she wasn't.

- I've seen her around

- And?

- She's with someone new every week.

- Really? You're gonna slut shame?

- No, I'm just red flagging.

Like, you know,

is she really what you're looking for?

- (laughs) I am literally so confused right now.

You just told me you only wanted to be friends.

Like, why did you even bring me here?

- So you could have a good time.

- I was having a good time!

- Great. Excellent.

- So then..?

- Don't you want to go get something to eat?

I could murder a bhaji.

- (laughs) Can't dance on a full stomach.

- It's getting kind of late though.

- So?

- Well, your parents?

They'll worry.

(Ingrid sighs)

- They think I'm staying with Saffron.

Why do you wanna leave all of a sudden?

- I'm just,

done.

- Is that really it?

- Yep.

- Well, then, that's on you, isn't it?

(traffic humming)

(Dani sighs)

- So what do you think of the traditional food?

- It's really good.

- Wow, that was almost believable.

- What do you mean?

It's delicious.

(Heidi Scoffs)

- You're a pretty good liar.

- No, I'm not.

- Please, that stuff's mank.

It will make you feel better though.

- I'm sorry. (both laughing)

- That's all right.

I should, um, I should get out of your hair anyway.

Let you get on with that assignment.

- What assignment?

- The one that you have with Ruby.

- Oh!

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Forgot about that one.

- What's it about anyway?

- It's history. Not important.

- (laughs) Okay. (laughs)

- I should get some sleep.

- Yeah, uh,

yeah, I should,

I should go.

- You don't have to.
