♪ I can sit and cry about reasons why I'm in this mess ♪

♪ But what good is that ♪

♪ What a waste of breath ♪

♪ It's a fine line thinking about the words unsaid ♪

♪ And setting them free from my chest ♪

- I'm sorry.

Why did you let me drink so much?

- I didn't, you disappeared.

- What do they say about wine and beer?

- And vodka and rum.

- Ugh, who even likes that?

- You, apparently.

- Oh, can that be the last time that happens?

- I mean, you only finish school once.

- Unless I fail my exams.

- Like that's gonna happen.

- I was kind of distracted, tbh.

- Hey, just think,

that may be the last exam we ever have to do.

- What about uni, babes?

- Oh, do they have them there?

- Yeah, I think so!

- Great.

- Oh, at least we have the summer to do nothing.

- Speak for yourself.

I've got an accounting internship, remember?

- No time for a quick schoolies trip to Bali then?

- Are you seriously suggesting more alcohol?

- No, no, no, no.

Like a detox trip, you know,

just get away from everything for a couple days.

- Get away from what?

- Have you met my mom?

She wants me to get a part-time job before

uni starts because she's all like,

oh, your sister had a part-time job when she was 18.

- Yeah.

I thought by this age I'd be like more free, but my dad?

Oh, he's never been worse.

- How do you mean?

- Just like, I don't know.

I thought I'd be like able to make my own decisions,

like do my own thing.

But instead he's like, this is how GST works.

- No, no,

I'm having exam flashbacks.

- Shame I can't drive us to the beach house.

- The what now?

- Oh, Gran,

she like has a place down there.

It belongs to the family.

- Why is this the first time I'm hearing about this?

- I mean, it's nothing special.

- It's like far away from here though.

- Yeah, but the public transport down there sucks so bad.

- You know I passed my test, right?

- What?

- You wanna?

- I can't, I told dad that I'd spend the weekend with him.

(Saffron snoring)

- You can do that anytime.

Like you said, you know,

you're the one who said we only finish school once.

(upbeat music)

- [Saffron] I'm so sorry about that roundabout.

- It's fine.

- She looked like she was turning off.

- Yep, totally.

- Nothing like a brush with death to start your day.

- Anyway, so this is the place.

Beach is 500 meters that way.

- I'd pretty much live here if I had a place like this.

- Yeah, it's not quite simple.

- Why? You said it's your gran's, right?

- Yeah, but I've got my-

- How hard is it to send a reply like immediately?

I actually think he's cooked.

- Told you

- Cousins.

- I didn't expect you to be home when I got in last night.

- Why, it's where I live?

- I think I was out till four the night of my formal.

- Cool.

- Oh, it was fun.

- Yeah, I'll take your word for it.

- So what happened?

Last night?

- Oh, nothing.

- Something must have.

Did anyone get totally wasted?

- I mean, yeah,

there was this one guy who was running

around like shirtless the whole time.

- Always full of derros. Yeah, big time.

What about your mate Zoe?

Haven't seen her in a bit.

- Oh yeah, yeah. No, we had a blast.

Got really drunk, danced the whole night.

- You don't seem very hungover.

- Benefits of being young. - Oh, excuse me.

- Chill grandma. - What else?

- That's it.

- Huh. Doesn't sound very eventful.

- Oh well I mean there was this one girl

who had like a total breakdown.

- Oh yeah? - Yeah. It was crazy.

She like fell out with everyone

and then ended up spending the night in the park by herself.

- What a loser. - I know, right?

- So, so what are you doing now?

- As little as possible.

- Get changed. Come to the shop.

- Why? - I'll give you a job.

- No, I'm good. - You know dad's gonna start

charging you rent now, right?

- What?

- He did the week I finished school. Come on.

- Gran said the place was free.

- Well he said the same thing to me.

Isn't that right?

It's a long drive back to Lilydale.

- I actually wouldn't mind to lie down first

'cause my nerves are still kind of

shaky from the drive down.

Oh, you wouldn't believe the idiots on the roads.

- Who are you?

- Saffron? We go to school together.

- We did because we're finished now.

- Wow, tell me more.

- Hey, you know what I'm calling gran.

- Why?

I already told you what's going on.

Yeah, well maybe I just like talking to her.

Okay, waste your time? I don't care.

We can just go.

Why? Hardly had any time to drink.

Well like you think a week matters.

- It does to me.

- Okay.

Well we need to go to the shops anyway and get more drinks.

Especially we're gonna have some visitors.

I need to work on my glutes.

- Fine.

I'll go with Sapphire. You don't mind driving, do you?

- I don't know. Are we, are we staying or?

- There's plenty of rooms.

- There were heaps of spots in front of the bottle shop.

- They were tight. - It wouldn't

be a problem if you knew how to parallel park.

- The brakes are super twitchy and it needs a service. Okay?

It's not my even car.

- So why didn't Astrid drive down?

- Her not having passed her

license maybe has something to do with it.

- What did she fail?

- No, I don't think she's even started learning.

- It's so Astrid. - In what way?

- Well, you know, just like cruising along.

Not really doing much. She's just so chill.

She's like the chillest person I know. Oh.

Which is great. So great.

- What? You guys don't hang out much.

No, not since her mom and dad.

She's just been a bit like weird since then.

- Nah, she seems fine to me.

- You know she like ran away once like a couple years ago.

- Who hasn't?

- That's so Lilydale.

- Yeah, most people have parents do their heads in.

- No, but like she couldn't handle it.

Like they wanted her to decide who to live with

and she just like couldn't pick.

So she just ran off into the woods. Like can you imagine?

- It's not really anything to do with me.

- Oh, me neither.

But then like people started phoning the family.

They thought like maybe she came down here or something.

- Yeah, I wouldn't know. - Really?

- What so, but you and Astrid aren't like...

- What?

- Oh you know. - No.

- Oh no. It's cool.

It's cool if you just wanna keep that to yourselves.

- How far’s the bottle shop?

- You can join me if you like.

- Nah, I'm still a bit hungover actually.

- So?

- Oh, well then I don't have a mat.

- It's okay. I brought one for Larissa.

It was one of my goals this weekend.

- What do you, are you doing yoga together?

- No, teach her. Don't you find it centers you?

- I mean, yeah, when I have time for it.

- You have to make the time,

the things you really want anyway.

- That's if you know what you want.

- You’re going to uni, right?

- Yeah.

I'm doing- - No.

Don't tell me. I'm good at this.

You are gonna do something like super creative.

Art, architecture maybe, or literature.

- Wow.

- Did I get it?

- I mean like the bit about me going to uni, yeah.

- Ooh close.

- I'm doing a certificate in accounting.

- Great. Sounds... - What? Boring?

No, no. Not if that's what you want.

- So how long are you guys staying here anyway?

- I thought you said it was okay.

- Oh yeah it is. It's fine.

I just, I just wanna know.

That's all.

(waves crash)

- What? No drinks.

- Oh wait, suddenly they're, they're invisible.

- Well you've forgot your wallet or something.

- I forgot my ID.

- Okay, well use a driver's license.

- Thank you. I didn't think of that.

- So we could go back to the car or we could...

- I left it at home, Home.

- So just try buy without it.

- I did. Rudest old lady ever wouldn't believe me.

- Mm. Old cow with a bowl cap.

- Oh, you’ve met?

- Yeah. Ah, she gave me such a look the other day.

It's like, she’s got nothing else

better do than ruin my night.

It's the law.

- Oh. And we wouldn't wanna be breaking that, would we?

- Why don't you just buy it?

- Well, because you have to be 18

and I've still got a week to go, so,

- So now I'm trying to buy drinks

for a minor, too, that's that's brilliant.

- Yeah, you and Astrid are so alike. It's so creepy.

- Excuse me? - Gimme a sec.

- Where are you going? - The bottle shop.

You just said you weren't 18.

- Oh yeah. Little secret.

They actually only ID you if you pay the stuff.

- Hey, don't seriously.

You're not coming back. Larissa!

- So I try to cycle through it every couple of days.

- Why?

- So when someone walks past, there's something new

to catch their attention.

That makes sense.

- Ooh! Okay.

This on that mannequin thingy. Perfect.

- Hmm.

How about we leave the styling to me? Yeah?

- Oh well what do you want me to do then?

Well, I've gotta go to the wholesaler today, so...

- Put me on tills? - Yeah. Money.

I've got Willa for that actually if she ever turns up.

So you can unpack some stock.

- What does that involve?

- Using all those hard earned high school skills.

You take it, take the clothes out,

throw the plastic on the ground, put 'em on a coat hanger.

- What?

- Do you really need me to explain that to you again?

That's just, sounds so boring.

- Yeah, well it's a job, not a hobby.

You remember that right?

Tell it to the bus drivers.

Hmm. Hey. - Hey.

- So what happened?

- Stopped in Coldstream,

driver got off the bus like he could not give two Fs.

10 minutes later another got on.

- Mm. Really? - Oh my god.

I hate it when that happens. That's so annoying,

- Right?

Like I've nowhere better to be.

- Willa,

This is my sister Ruby. She's gonna be helping us out today.

- Oh sister.

- Heard a lot about you.

- Like what?

- Kidding. Didn't know she had one.

- Now you do. So stock. - Stock.

- Shouldn't have done that.

- What? You aren't gonna get us any.

- Can you at least go back and leave some money.

- What is wrong with you?

- Sorry If I'm just a little bit

concerned about what's gonna happen.

- Oh my god, what? Nothing.

Jeez.

- Take it from me. Okay?

You don't want a criminal record.

- Okay. There is no way.

- Not me. Girlfriend.

- Astrid? Shut up.

- No. Her name is Heidi.

- Okay.

- She got busted once when she was younger

and it didn't work out well.

- And how are you finding a long distance relationship?

- What? - Well I just take it

that she's locked up in some maximum security prison now.

- She's in Queensland, if you must know.

- Oh my god, that's even worse.

- So how are you finding it?

The whole not seeing each other thing.

- We talk. - That's hot.

- That's not so bad. - Tried that once.

- Didn't work out? - Problem with long distance

is that there's just other people

that are more close distance.

- Yeah, I don't have to worry about that.

- Well how do you know what she's up to?

- It's called having a healthy relationship.

(waves crash)

We do like two video calls a day.

- Sounds awesome. - I'm making the best of it.

- What she up to now? - Dunno. I don't need to.

- What she look like. - Why?

- I wanna see who Astrid's competing with.

- You are so barking up the wrong tree.

- Oh, you two are cute. - Thanks.

- How long you been together?

- A while.

- Not many photos of the two of you together is there?

- Yeah. I mean, don't you hate couples who are like that?

They're like, they're just so insecure.

They have to put it out there.

- Oh. Check out her story.

Oh my god. Who's this girl

that she's with? - What girl?

You're clearly not concerned at all are you?

- You're hilarious. Can I have that back now? Nope.

No, seriously. Just give it back to get back to me.

(phone splashes)

- Just brilliant. (indistinct).

- Why did you grab it? - Me?

Why did you drop it? How am I going to call Heidi now?

- Well it's like insured or something, right?

- Ugh, if I ever have

to see another clothes hanger again, it'll be too soon.

- Pretty tedious. Hey?

- Yeah. And I thought school's boring.

- It's all downhill from here.

- What do you mean?

- I did hospo before this some dive bar.

- Oh cool.

- Yeah, if you like the smell of stale sweat

and getting every night ruined.

This is way easier. Trust me.

- I'll swap you. Til for the stock cupboard.

- What are you like with customers?

- Fine. - Do you have any experience?

- Doesn't mean I won't be good at it.

- Okay, so if I was like some 60-year-old woman

and I came into the shop

and I was like, I don't like it,

I want a refund. What do you do?

- Give him one. Who cares? - Ah, Tess.

Tess is who cares.

Someone's gotta pay for those garish outfits.

- Oh my God. They so don't suit her.

- Especially for someone who considers herself a fashionista

Anyway, you kind of just have to

cajole them into buying something else.

But, ugh, pensioners man. So hardcore.

- Why?

- They don't care.

Like something in your brain just

changes when you get older.

Like you know how old people can just talk

to anybody?

- Oh my god, my dad's like that. It's so annoying.

- Right?

You're like, hey how are you?

And all of a sudden they're telling you their

entire life story.

- Oh it's so cringe.

This one woman came in last week, 45 minutes

she was talking to me.

The whole shop was empty. I could have been scrolling.

- God, why didn't you make up an excuse?

Say it was your lunch break or something.

- They only hear what they wanna hear.

- I think a lot of people are like that.

- Pretty full on, right? - Yeah. Weird.

I didn't even know there was a jetty.

- Yeah, she's really cut about it.

Not that she'd admit it. Don't tell her I told you.

- I love your outfit, by the way. Super cute.

- Oh you wanna buy it? - What would you wear?

- I bought like a bunch of them.

- Oh, a bit of a bargain hunter.

- Yeah, I like accidentally added way too many to my cart.

And then I didn't even realize how cheap they were.

- So what are you saying is you're trying to rip me off.

- Oh no I like, I- - I'm kidding.

You made me feel so bad for a second.

- Why?

- My ex used to like put stuff up online.

Guitar pedals, musical instruments. I don't know.

Seemed like really sketchy. Like you know, taking advantage.

Taking advantage of what?

Like people not knowing what things actually cost.

- So it's an outfit like this gonna set a girl back?

- Like 50 bucks.

- Definitely don't like it that much.

- Nah, I don't know. 20. - How much did you buy for?

- Six. - Get out. Seriously?

- Told you I found a good deal.

- Come on then. - What you wanna go in?

- No one around - I, I can't.

- Isn't that like the whole reason you

came to the beach house?

- I'm just gonna read instead. - Yeah, yeah. Cool.

Ah, so I guess we're staying then?

- You owe me 20 bucks.

- You okay?

So how was hanging with Larissa?

Yeah. Great, if you like be an accessory to shoplifting.

- Yeah, she does that.

- I cannot believe you two are even related.

- There's like this whole like side of the family.

Christmas is the worst.

She's always like, oh look at these things I got like,

everything's like always big and shiny.

Did Santa not bring you what you wanted?

I just wanted one year where like she wouldn't

break my stuff outta spite.

- What?

- Yeah. I've never met anyone so jealous in my life.

- Yeah, I can see that actually.

- Hey, can I borrow your phone later?

- Why?

- Larissa

- Refills! - Do it.

I don't mind. We can do it tomorrow.

- Are you sure?

- Brought my camera.

It'll be fun.

- There's only so many sunsets you can pose before

it just gets like a bit cringe.

Am I right?

- Maxine's helping me do a photo shoot.

- Why?

- I'm starting an online business.

- Oh my god.

I didn't know that you could do fortunetelling online.

- You can actually, yeah.

- Astrid used to be like so into all that airy fairy stuff.

- Astrid actually got a really solid business idea.

You reckon?

You'll be loaded before you know it.

- Well I mean you gotta start somewhere.

- You know not everything is about the money?

- Hmm, yeah, says those who don't have any.

Hey, what happened to that like insane music girl?

- Jaz.

- That's how I describe her. - Who's Jaz?

- Her ex. - Cool.

- Yeah. A bit of a head case if you ask me.

- Mm. Did anyone?

- Should ask me 'cause then I can play the field.

- Not really looking. Thanks.

- Well at least you're not doing some like

dumb long distance thing.

- What's dumb about it? - I didn't mean you babe.

It's just like so easy when you finish school

to get stuck trying to get

with someone who's halfway across the country.

- Is that what happened with Jesse?

- No. I was done with him anyway.

- Shame. - Why?

- He was nice.

- What do you call trying to get her on

with two year 11 girls on a geography trip?

- A fun way to spend a weekend.

- We were together.

- Sorry.

- Outta sight outta mind.

That's how most people work.

- It is not.

- How many people do you know who like actually pull off

long distance?

Yeah. Because you clearly trust her so much.

- Well she's not off at some footy thing.

- 'Cause you're a control freak.

- No, I'm not.

- The formal committee. Maybe just a little bit.

- It was gonna be '80s theme.

Someone had to do something.

- I like eighties music. Yeah, me too.

- Okay. You don't know Heidi.

- Okay. She just does whatever the hell she wants.

- And whoever probably.

She's in Queensland wrestling snakes.

And I don't mean that metaphorically.

- What? Metaphorically - Shut up!

- Oh no, please tell me you're not.

- I want her to meet everyone.

- No Saf. (phone rings)

- I think it's just 'cause I'm calling from your phone.

She doesn't recognize the number.

I need to pee.

- Can I, can I please have my phone back, Saf?

- Actually really good. (upbeat music)

- Hey, sorry I'm, I'm calling from Astrid's phone, mine's...

Anyway, just wanted

to check in, make sure you're okay.

It's been a little while so, hope you're okay.

I already said that. You know, whatever.

Whatever you're doing, have fun.

Hope you're having an an awesome night, I mean that.

And call me back

if you want tonight.

Anytime's fine.

I'm probably gonna be up really late, so yeah, whenever.

I miss you, like

really miss you.

Kind of been thinking we should have a real talk.

Nothing serious. Just it's been ages, so yeah.

I love you.

I trust you. Just call me back.

- Cringe. - Get out.

So, so cringe.

Oh my god. No wonder she's checked out.
