Original subtitles

I never heard of sperm donors.

Wish there was some magical way to get Mick’s genes

into a tadpole that can swim. What about Mick’s brother?

Sorry. Who are you?

Andrew Mick’s, brother. Yeah.

His family hates me. Hey!

Scared I’m going to steal your little brother away.

No one hates you. I'm here to stay.

You two obviously have a thing. It's fine.

It’s none of my business.

You know in your first 24 hours, you've undermined me.

Questioned my professionalism.

Called me insecure.

and rebuffed any attempt for me to be nice to you.

I'm not sure about him in the doctor department.

What do you mean. I'm just not sure he’s got the goods.

Talk about a doctor self-destructing.

[Nina] I can do this, I separate my personal feeling

from my professional duty all the time.

[grunts]

Was it a one-off mistake

or a warning sign he'll never cut it

as an obstetrician?

He may just need a frank review

and some good, pragmatic support.

It could also be that I lack the essential qualities.

-that an obstetrician needs -Don't make it any worse for yourself.

All students make mistakes.

But the real problem is, this is a student you also happen

-to be having sex with. -What are you doing here?

You must really care what I think.

No. I don't.

Can--can you stop looking at me, please?

-Did you see his face? -[breathes heavily]

[Nina's alter ego] You can't put your feelings for your boyfriend

ahead of your patients' wellbeing.

[Fraser] What are your feelings for me?

Oh, um... I'm trying to.

[Nina's alter ego] Oh, you knew right from the start

you should never have got involved with a student.

[Patrick] Yep. That was pretty dumb.

What does your brother like?

Italian guys.

To eat.

Uh, Italian guys. [laughs]

At least, he used to--

Well, does he have a boyfriend now?

[Mick] How should I know?

It's been years since I knew

what was going on in his life.

[Billie] We should probably find out.

I mean, if we're asking him for sperm.

Plus, I have to make a booking.

Are we sure about this?

Well, it's...

It's poetic.

I mean, it's two estranged brothers

who need each other to have a baby.

What I'm saying is...

with an anonymous donor...

we get the sperm without the estranged brother's part.

Yeah, but with an anonymous donor, that's like

getting a dog from a pound.

But with Andrew, it's like...

getting a pedigree puppy from a breeder

because we know the genetic line is good.

We know who the bitch and the sire were.

Well, I got Rocket from the pound

and he's the best thing that ever walked on four legs.

I think we should go to the pub.

We'll just have the...

the home ground advantage.

I don't want you to get disappointed if he says no.

-Okay? -Okay.

We might have some sperm.

We might.

[Billie] Hey, Andrew. It's Billie.

So did I wake you? Hello, okay.

Um, for tonight,

um, am I booking for three people or for four?

[humming continues]

Okay. So just to confirm

that there's no special boyfriend or...

-So you know where the pub is? -[Geraldine]

[Jimmy] Oh, yum.

[Billie] So we'll say 7:30? Okay. Okay, Right. Bye.

[metal clanks]

[Billie exhales]

[Geraldine clears throat]

[glass clanking]

-[Geraldine] I'm selling the house. -[Jimmy] What?

[Geraldine] You know, I thought it was time for a change.

But this is our home.

This is what breakfast was about.

[Billie] Good for you, mom.

If that's what you wanna do,

I think that's great.

[Jimmy] I can't believe you'd abuse pancakes like this.

You're not the only one who wants to travel, my dear.

I went to South America with $300 in my bank account.

You don't have to sell the house to travel.

Well, I don't have a mother to put $300 in my bank account.

It was $200 to get back to see my dying father,

Eighty-five percent of which I've already repaid.

[Billie] We should list it as soon as possible,

-see what interest we can get. -Well, I've actually

already listed it.

-Oh. -[Jimmy] What?

How long have you been planning this?

I cannot believe you never told us.

Tammy and I wanted to raise our kids here.

-Oh. -What?

-What is so ridiculous about that? -Nothing.

What, Billie wants to have kids so no one else can?

It's not the kids I have a problem with.

I knew it! You all hate her.

We don't hate her.

Do we, Billie?

Well, I don't hate her.

We just want you to be sure about her

-before you-- -The Proudman women strike again.

Oh, Jimmy. Jim?

-Thanks for the guilt cakes. -Oh, Jimmy.

Can you believe them? I mean, you've lived with her and you like her.

-Yeah. -Every time they do it. Every single time!

That's not true.

[Nina] It is true. The history of hostility

between the Proudman woman and Jimmy's girlfriends

is deeply ingrained.

First was Tina, when Jimmy was 13.

She was sweet but had a vague sheep-like smell

and often took a five-second pause before answering a question.

Then, at 15, was Christine.

She would have been quite well received

if she wasn't second-year university.

Fast-forward through a colorful decade of women

until we get to the compulsive liar

with a police record before arriving, finally, at Tammy.

I won't say we're completely blameless in the whole thing.

But it doesn't help that Jimmy's type seem to be sociopathic manipulators

-with bizarre criminal urges. -I know she's not perfect,

but this is the woman I wanna spend the rest of my life with.

Imagine if you and Fraser get married...

[resonance]

-[stammers, speechless] -[male #1] I do.

[retches]

-[body thuds] -[coughs]

And all the family can say is how stupid it is.

How you'll be 50 when he's in the prime of his life.

[laughs]

Well, I won't be saying any of that.

Because he may not be perfect

but if you feel that way about Fraser,

then none of the other shit matters.

-[keys clanking] -Have a good day.

[Nina] What way do you feel about Fraser?

No! That's beside the point.

Right now you're his supervisor.

How would you handle this situation

if he was any other student?

Talk through the incident,

find out the causes of the freeze.

-[Patrick] You okay? -[car honks]

[stunned sigh]

[Nina] Yes. I'm good. Good. How are you?

You've been in there for ages.

No.

[Patrick] You were there when I drove in

and I was searching for a car space

for almost ten minutes.

I was finishing a radio program.

On piracy.

Just finished.

How's Fraser?

Uh, I tried calling him last night, three times,

like I would any student.

Do you want me to take care of it?

No. It's my responsibility.

Okay. All right. Good.

[Patrick] See you in there.

[elevator door opens]

[cheery music]

[Nina] He'll be expecting this.

He'll be expecting the conversation.

He knows that...

Shit, the ball. I need a dress.

[Nina's alter ego] No, you're only thinking about the ball

to distract yourself.

Are you always such a tight-ass?

[Cherie] This is so exciting, I haven't felt this excited

since I spoke to Bon Jovi at a bagel shop in South Yarra in 1995.

What about?

Well, I was so beside myself all I could say was, "Hi".

No. What were you excited about?

-Nina? -[paper rustles]

Oh! It's just a ball.

[Cherie] It's okay, Kim.

This might just be a ball to you but to us, with babies,

this is the night, OK?

The one night where we get to cut loose, okay?

Is Fraser here yet? Fraser? Dr. King? Hi, Nina.

-[Kim] He's in at 10:00. -How is he?

Well, he's fine as far as I can tell. Are these my charts?

[Zara] Oh, no. No, no, no. They're the books for tonight.

-Books? -[Zara] Bets. Odds.

[Kim] How'd you go?

Dr. Clegg doing the spin-around dance is at three-to-one.

You and Renee having a massive brawl is paying four, no offense.

Oh, none taken. Safe as houses.

And Cherie passing out in the ladies' room is 20 bucks.

-I've never done that. -That's why it's paying so much if you do.

-Pay attention. -[Nina] Look, do we have any charts

with patients on them?

So you are coming tonight, right, Dr. Reid?

Well, I don't wanna miss out on all the drama and debauchery

you're talking about. Do I?

[Nina] What does that mean?

Is that a smirk? Does he mean me?

[Zara] What are the odds Patrick has got a blonde girlfriend?

Mm. I'll take 2.50, an even three for brunette

and outside 10 for single.

-I'll put 10 bucks on blonde. -Gimme 20.

Do we still have patients in the hospital or shall I go to the beach?

-Nina, can I have a word? -Mm.

[Nina] The thing is it-- it was an incredibly acute PPH.

I'm not sure how I would have reacted when I first started out.

Yes. [thuds]

He is only a first-year.

But then again, a defining requirement of any good surgeon

is the ability to cope under pressure.

[Martin] Like you and I, for example.

Socially we're abysmal failures

but give us an ectopic pregnancy or a cord prolapse and we thrive.

We make confident, timely decisions.

-Thank--thank you. -[Martin] Not at all.

Hm.

Hm. [inhales in thought]

The bottom line is we need to determine

if Dr. King has what it takes.

But, as always, if he has your confidence, he has mine too.

You reckon wearing Birkenstocks is a negative indication of someone's character?

-I don't know. What--? Who are we talking about? -Mick's brother.

He's wearing Birkenstocks in a lot of these photos.

-What are you doing? -Oh, just I friended him.

Now I'm trawling through his personal information.

-Isn't that a bit rude? -No, it's just going through

people's possessions without legal recourse.

Mm.

Daddy, you do realize, as Jimmy's father,

he might actually go through with this wedding?

Why wouldn't he?

Because the girl that he wants to marry is annoying

and wrong and she's-- she's draining the life out of him.

Oh, I like Tammy.

You would.

You haven't said any of this to Jimmy, have you?

[Darcy sighs]

-[Darcy] Billie? -What?

[somber music]

[Patrick] Have you spoken to Fraser yet?

N--no. No. I haven't.

He's not at work yet.

Is the ball this ridiculous every year?

They keep asking weird questions about whether I'm bringing a date.

They're placing bets on whether you bring a blonde or a brunette.

What odds?

2.50 for blonde, 3 for brunette.

Uh, it's misguided, I love brunettes.

Did--did you go to Martin about Dr. King?

Uh... I, um...

He asked my opinion. Yeah.

He's my responsibility, Patrick,

so if you have a problem with Fraser then come--

Fraser. Fraser.

-Sorry. Uh, I'll come back. -[Nina] No.

-No. -[Patrick] That's okay. I can...

No. You wait, please. [exhales in thought]

I know that I, uh,

screwed up massively yesterday.

Um, I've thought it through

and I'm confident that it will never happen again.

And I wanted to thank you both for your support

and, well, basically for...

saving my ass.

Okay. Excuse me.

[Patrick] I have to go place a bet.

We're gonna have to sit down and--and do a proper case review.

Yeah, look, Nina, um, I know that you spend most of your life

looking after things for everyone else.

I just, I want you to know

that you have to sort out, okay?

Why--why didn't you return my calls last night?

-Are you speaking as my supervisor? -I don't know.

I mean, um, no.

No. I'm speaking as someone

that's concerned for your well-being.

I was worried about you.

I--I tried calling. I mean, I dialed but...

What?

I didn't know if you'd be on my side.

I didn't know if you'd be angry. I didn't...

I didn't know.

And I didn't want it to be strange.

Anyway, how about I just get back to work?

[Nina's alter ego] So, a second chance.

Yeah.

Don't sound too sure.

Shut up.

[Rocket whines]

[clanks]

Hey, has Billie said anything to you about Tammy?

[Mick] I don't think I'm gonna answer that on the grounds that it may incriminate me.

[Jimmy] I knew it.

Look, if it makes you feel better,

I won't defend Tammy,

and I often tune out when Billie is talking.

Cheers, mate.

At least you're never gonna die wondering what your sister thinks.

She's just-- She's very protective of you.

Well, it's like there's times, you know,

where I feel like Billie and I are getting closer

and then, I don't know, it's just shit.

[Mick] I like her, mate, Tammy.

If she makes you happy that's all that matters.

And as your brother, I reckon I should get a vote.

Thanks, mate.

No worries, mate.

[Zara] It's gonna be amazing.

It's an entire photo room full of costumes.

-Get drunk and dress up. -Oh, sounds like fun.

I think I just agreed to go to the ball with Martin Clegg.

You what?

I didn't really realize what was going on.

[Martin] Cherie, are you going to the ball tonight?

Uh, yes.

Uh, would you like to share a lift?

Uh... share a car?

Yes. For the... purposes of transport.

[Cherie] Okay.

Excellent.

It was like I was in his tractor beam

-and there was no way out. -What am I gonna do?

-[Zara] Okay. We need a rescue signal. -Like what?

Like pretend to sneeze.

I can't pretend to sneeze.

[Zara] Watch.

Atchoo!

Okay, it's really kind of hard.

I'll try again.

Atchoo!

Look, I'll think of something.

[Cherie] Uh, Nina, Mrs. Jaser is in room 305

-with the unstable lie. -[Zara sneezes]

[Zara] That was better.

[Cherie] She's due tomorrow was told to check in.

Hey.

Did you speak with Fraser?

Um, yeah, I did.

And how is everything?

Well, he's convinced that it was a one-off.

We'll be doing a proper case review so...

Right.

-[Cherie] I'll see you, Nins. -[Nina] See you.

-Hi. -Hi.

This ball thing is kind of a big deal, huh?

Yes. Certainly is.

Hey, um, I got my mum's car for the night

if you--you know, you wanna go with me

and sort of be my date.

It's not really like that. You don't really take dates.

But, okay. Yep.

-Do you want to pick me up at 7? -Yeah.

But I've got exams tomorrow so I have to be at home by 12.

Great. But does it have to be your home?

[enticing music]

[Darcy] You do realize you're not actually supposed to be here.

-Really? -Yeah, well, legally,

Well, what if someone pinches something?

That's what Phil D'Arabont's here for.

[sighs] I just couldn't bear the thought of not hearing

the comments that people made about the house.

-Well, there's certainly one or two memories. -Mm.

Many of which include our son, who seems to think

that you said his marriage was a bad idea.

Excuse me, excuse me, it's not a gift shop.

Well, it is a bad idea.

You remember my mother before we got married?

Mm. How could I forget her?

-Hated you. -Oh.

Hated you.

What?

She loved me. Really?

She said you may be beautiful but you had wolves eyes

and that our marriage was a colossal mistake.

-Wolves eyes? -Mm.

[chuckles]

No, it wasn't.

Anyway, that's not the point. The point is,

she had no right deciding what's right for us.

[Phil] Darcy! You old hound.

Good to see you up and about.

It's so good when a heart attack ends with being alive,

not being dead.

Geraldine, you--you do realize that technically you shouldn't be here.

-Don't worry, I'm not going to tell anyone. -All right.

-Anyway, I must dash. Good luck. -Mm-hmm.

Thank you.

-Talk to Jimmy later, eh? -Mm-hm.

[Fraser] Have you had any discomfort?

Yeah. It feels like she's doing somersaults.

[door clicks close]

[Fraser] Mm.

Unfortunately, she hasn't found the exit sign just yet.

You can see her head there, just pointing toward the head.

[laughs] Now, the good news is

she'll be an amazing gymnast.

The bad news is, she... [taps]

will have a horrible sense of direction.

[laughs]

So, is she all right?

Yeah. No, she's gonna be absolutely fine.

We'll just do a caesarean to get her out.

-[Nina] Um-- -[Mrs. Jaser] No...

We talked about this.

I can't have a caesarean.

Mrs. Jaser has drug allergies.

Better not to do a caesarean.

[stammers, confused]

Yeah, okay. Um...

My apologies.

Um...

Of course. Yeah.

[Nina] There's that look again.

Everything is fine, Mrs. Jaser. What we'll do is

we'll wait for the baby to get into a better position

and then we'll induce labor.

[thump]

Um, I'll--I'll-- I'll probably be back later on

-just to say hello and see how you're doing, okay? -Okay.

[door clicks close]

[Nina] That wasn't even a crisis.

He froze in a consultation.

[Nina's alter ego] I guess now we know.

[door clicks open]

-Oh. -Hello, Tammy.

Hi, Darcy.

[smooch]

Um, sorry, Jimmy's out digging holes with Mick.

But he should be back soon, though.

Oh, I'll leave you to it.

-But I'll come back-- -No, no, no. Stay.

I'm not doing anything.

[Tammy] I mean, he tries hard but Jimmy is just one of those

who floats, he just drifts.

But he really actually wants to build something, you know,

like a business or something.

Don't get me wrong, look, I love his vagueness

but sometimes you really have to nail something down you know.

[Tammy] Hey, baby.

[running footsteps]

Oh, sweaty. Yuck.

[door clicks close]

-Hey, Dad. -Hey.

Everything okay?

[Darcy] Yeah. Yeah.

Yeah. I--I was just in the area and I thought I'd pop by.

Make sure you're okay, you know, about the house.

Yeah. Yeah. It's just a bit of a shock.

[Tammy] It's such a shame. I can't believe

Yeah. I--I know you're a bit annoyed

with your mum and Billie's thoughts on the house.

So, uh, I thought maybe we should all just get together

and have a bit of a chat about it.

[elevator dings]

[metal clanks]

[Cherie] Nina? You have to back me up. Okay?

If Clegg asks, I'm having a drink with you before the ball.

'Cause I said I wasn't gonna have them with him, 'cause I'm having them with you.

[Nina] Yeah. [taps hands]

-What? Yes. Oh--oh, good. -Is everything okay?

Yeah. Just hang on a minute.

What did you just say to Fraser?

I was seeing if I could help.

Then why did he leave?

Don't know. Curfew?

I said I'd handle things, Patrick.

Nina... [sighs]

you're not the only person who works with Fraser.

You're also not the only person

who cares about what happens here.

Just back off. Okay?

Just don't speak to Fraser. Don't go near him.

[Patrick] Do you think you're maybe a little too emotionally involved?

-[Geraldine] Jimmy, I just want you to be sure. -I am.

-[Geraldine] Are you? Are you? -[Jimmy] Yes.

[Jimmy] In spite of your doubts, mum, yes, I am sure.

Uh, I think what your mother is trying to say is...

You don't like Tammy.

[Geraldine sighs] Liking has got nothing to do with it.

[sighs] Jimmy...

She's wrong for you.

[Jimmy] But you don't like her.

No. I don't. And if you marry her,

you'll be making the biggest mistake of your life.

And there it is.

You've said it now.

[Jimmy] You know what? I'm not gonna force you

to endure Tammy's company anymore.

And I'm not gonna ask her to be around people who don't like her.

Let's just cut it now and save everyone the pain.

-[Darcy] Jimmy? -[Jimmy] I love this girl and I'm marrying her.

[door clicks open, door slams]

That's exactly what I said to my mother. Hm.

[melancholic music]

[door clicks open]

[door shut]

[Billie] Honey? You ready?

Shit. Wear the... the shirt is good, the stripes.

Hey. [breathing heavily]

If Andrew is thinking about it...

do you think-- Do you reckon it's a good sign that he's coming tonight?

I mean, he wouldn't come if the answer was no, would he?

I mean, he wouldn't wanna disappoint us to our faces.

I mean, is that the sort of thing he'd do?

-I don't know, Billie. -Well, when you were kids,

was he--was he the kind of kid that would--

You mean, what would my brother have done

if at the age of 15 I'd asked him to donate

-his sperm to me? -No, I mean,

did he avoid confrontation or was he more of a...

I do not know him well enough to know what he's gonna say.

Well, I've been thinking about this

and this is--this is a turning point for you and Andrew.

You wanna glue my family back together with sperm?

Well, yeah. [chuckles]

In a way. Yeah.

Look, what if he says no?

What's wrong?

I'm...

All I'm saying is not everybody does things...

just because Billie Proudman wants them to.

Okay. Sorry. We'll just... We'll forget the family stuff

and we'll go and we'll just... just go.

[taps]

Shoes.

[hurried footsteps]

[melancholic music]

[sighs]

[door clicks open]

Oh, God, this is tight. [clears throat]

Hey, Nins.

-Hi! -[Jimmy] You look nice.

Thanks. [nervous laughter]

-Do you like Tammy? -What?

[Nina] Direct question.

How to be honest without being a bitch.

Uh, um...

[stammers]

Actually, I don't warm to her that easily, Jimmy.

-I'm sorry. -It's okay.

But like you said...

if--if you love her then that's all that matters.

Enjoy the ball.

[door clicks open]

[exhales] You're a bitch.

I need a drink.

[bottle clattering]

You still haven't dealt with Fraser.

You should have sorted it at work.

Hasn't been an opportunity at work.

[Nina's alter ego] He'll be here soon.

I don't... l don't know how to word it.

[Nina's alter ego] You say, "Fraser, you need a specialty

that doesn't involve decision-making in critical situations.

You're not cut out to be an obstetrician."

Well, I'm not doing it tonight.

[Nina's alter ego] No. That's right.

'Cause tonight you're gonna pretend

that you haven't gone cold on him.

I haven't gone cold on him.

[clank] [Nina] I haven't.

I'm not like that. I--I care for him.

But you don't want him anymore.

May--maybe--maybe if he's not my student,

may--maybe I can be his girlfriend.

[Nina's alter ego] Then what?

Let the relationship die a slow death

-over a period of months? -Just because he froze at work...

[Nina's alter ego] Look, the fact that he froze at work is just your excuse.

You knew right from the start you should never have got involved with a student.

You didn't wanna overthink things, so you didn't think at all.

You've made a huge mistake

and you have hurt that young man.

-[electric buzz] -[surprised grunt]

[car engine revs]

[car handbrake pull up]

[seatbelt buckle clicks]

-Uh, Nina. -Mm.

Oh, no. No, no, I'm--I'm--I'm--

Oh, no, it's not a, um...

It's... [nervous laugh]

-[Nina] Oh. -[Fraser] just a thank you.

Well, um, to say that...

I--I hope that I become half the doctor that you are...

and I hope that you are patient enough

to stick with me until I do.

Oh, that--that's just--

[clicks tongue] Uh, it's beautiful, thank you.

[smooch]

Come on. Let's go.

[door slams close]

[bell dings]

["Summertime" playing in the background]

-[Andrew] Hi. -[Billie] Hi.

[chuckles]

-Andrew, Hi. -Hey, Mick.

You look amazing.

Oh, thank you.

I--I didn't really know what to wear, you know.

It's a sperm date. [laughs]

Yeah, I just usually try and keep to smart casual,

make sure I've got clean undies on.

[laughs]

So, is it good news?

[Billie] Sorry. Sorry, I promised I wouldn't say anything,

I just can't get it out of my brain and I--

I know that there are questions that, you know,

but in general, you know,

in principle, are you open to this?

Um, I do have some questions

and I think we should have some wine first.

But, um, ye--yes...

I am very much open to it.

[upbeat music playing]

[Martin] Yes. I-- [clears throat]

I spent quite some time researching ties.

-And, uh, after much deliberation. -Mm.

It's very dignified.

-[Renee] Cherie? -Yes?

Um, don't you think that

Kim turns into another person at these things?

[Kim] The joys of married life, hey?

-Bet you're sorry you don't have that. -Don't

-[Kim] What? What? -[Renee] Don't do that either.

Make out like I am the problem. I am your partner.

I am here with you at this event and I would like your support.

Is that so much to ask?

[Kim] Can I still put money on that fight?

It's called match-fixing.

That's a nice bracelet, Nina.

Oh, thank--thank you.

I'm just--I'm gonna go and freshen up.

[Nina sighs]

[music playing]

[glasses clinking]

You look lovely.

Oh, so do you.

[Patrick] Wild bunch.

[Zara] It's Patrick.

Ka-ching! He's alone. I just made 70 bucks.

Okay. So that's one race finished.

But there's plenty still to go, people.

Why are you so concerned if Patrick is alone?

[clears throat]

[clears throat, sneeze]

Excuse me.

So Fraser's over there.

Does that mean I can't go to that half of the ballroom?

[Patrick] Or what distance should I keep?

-Piss off. -[Cherie] Nina.

It's dancing time, it's dancing time.

-No. I'm not dancing. No, Cherie. -No, no, no.

Nina, this is the most important thing I've ever asked of you.

No. No. I don't--

[party music playing]

[Kim] Wanna dance?

I'm gonna go call the babysitter.

-Zara? -Okay.

[music playing]

-[Patrick] Hi. -[Martin] Come on, have a seat.

-[Patrick] Hey. -[Martin] Here.

Doctor.

[Andrew] No. I--I don't see the winery as a failure.

First, I was inexperienced.

Second, the grapes were blighted.

Third, I had no idea what I was doing.

Actually, I had all the talent of a one-armed trapeze artist with an itchy ass.

[Billie laughs]

But there, that's when I found out what I was good at, selling stuff.

Well, was that before or after dad got sick, Andrew?

Knew we'd get there.

[music playing in the background]

[Cherie] Just relax, Nins.

I am relaxed. This, um...

See, this is me relaxed. I'm dancing.

Yeah, right. It's a party.

[sighs]

[Nina] This is so unfair. I'm out here dancing

when I should be having a deeply honest conversation with Fraser.

What must this look like to him?

-[Cherie and Kim laughs] -[Kim] Ha! Did it!

I just won 50 bucks.

[Zara] That is cheating.

What are you laughing at?

You doing crap dancing was paying five.

[Cherie] For a minute I didn't think we'd get there, but we got there.

[Fraser] Can we go and talk?

Yep. We can, yeah.

[Cherie] Ah!

[Nina] Maybe, maybe--

[Fraser] I'm kind of getting the vibe

that you're basically not into me anymore, yeah?

No. It's not-- It's--it's not--

Really? Because you've been giving me the deep freeze

since we got here, Nina.

Well, I've just-- I've been trying to think--

I'm just...

[Fraser] You can't even be honest with me,

Can you?

I don't--I don't--

I--I don't think we have a future together.

Wow.

Okay. Right. Well, what happened?

What, I make another mistake at work

and now you don't like me?

No, I do, I like you. I do like you.

Really? I was your toy that you got sick of.

-Shh. No, I'm not. No. -[Kim] Oi.

-Photo time. -[Nina] No. I don't--

[Tammy] They don't like me, do they?

[Jimmy] Yes, they do.

Liar.

I don't care what they think.

[giggles] Where are we going?

Memory lane.

[laughs] Loser.

[Tammy gasps] Oh.

Peru? Muy bien.

Come inside.

[whimsical music]

Just us?

You and me against the world.

[Jimmy] Just like that time when we broke down

in the mountains with that driver

we thought was gonna totally dismember us

and we had to sleep in that chicken coop.

I'd only known you for three days but when you smiled

at the idea of sleeping in a chicken coop,

I knew I could be with you forever.

So how far away were you?

Andrew, how many Ks? 400?

450?

[Andrew] Maybe five, Mick.

[Mick] Five! As many as that?

Oh, it's no wonder I never saw you.

Piss off.

-I think I should get the bill. -[Mick] Oh, no, no, no.

You save your cash for your next big venture.

You know, I'd find your resentment a bit more interesting

if it wasn't such a load of shit.

Well, while you were off having a grand old time,

I was stuck here, by myself,

wiping dad's chin as he coughed up his insides for four fucking years.

-[Andrew] Are you serious? -You just walked away.

Well, I offered to pay for a nurse.

Oh, God forbid you'd get your hands dirty, Andrew.

Mick!

Shit!

Dad was...

You--you had your fishing trips

and your all-night guitar sessions in the shed.

Dad hated me.

He didn't hate you.

-Wake up! -[Mick] You were his son!

I was his faggot son.

I don't think this is gonna work out.

Thanks for dinner, Billie. I'm sorry.

Mick.

[Mick sighs heavily]

[Nina] Fraser, you maybe had a bit too much to drink.

[Fraser] Yes, sombrero. I need a hat.

-[Nina] How about we get out of here? -No.

-[Nina] Come on. -[Fraser] No, I'm fine.

-[Nina] Look, you're not. -I am! Okay?

[Nina] Fraser, listen to me, listen to me.

[Nina grunts]

You said, "Let's keep work and sex separate." But they're not.

-Shh. What I said was... -Yeah, but how are you gonna be my teacher

in the morning if you broke up with me now?

Okay. Well...

I--I thought perhaps if you would concentrate...

No, I don't want to do it.

-Come on, Nina, just say it. -I don't want to.

You don't think that I'm cut out to be an obstetrician, do you?

No.

I don't.

I don't think you have what it takes.

I'm so sorry.

[Nina] Fraser.

Hey, mate. Mate? Come on. Buddy?

-Come on. -Just leave me alone, I said.

[thuds]

[camera shutters click]

[knock at the door]

[door opens]

I had no idea that's how you felt.

[grunts]

You and me...

there's stuff to, you know, sort out...

or not.

I mean, we could ignore it.

Ignoring, it is an effective strategy.

The thing is this.

I love that woman...

and I want to have a baby with her.

But I can't do it without you.

What?

Never thought I'd hear someone in our family say that word.

You love her?

Yeah, I do.

That's nice...

to love someone.

Hm.

Yeah. Okay.

Yeah.

You still like Italian guys?

-Italian guys? -Yeah.

You used to like them.

I liked one Italian guy.

Yeah. But you liked him a lot.

Sure did.

[Nina] Oh!

-I'm right-- -Okay.

[unzips]

-You okay? -[clicks tongue]

[Nina] It's not his fault.

I should have known better.

It's no one's fault.

I'll take you home.

No. I just--I wanna sit here for a minute.

I just wanna watch him.

You probably can't comfort him on this one.

I just want to sit with him for a bit.

I'll see you at work.

[door closes]

[tranquil music]

[door opens]

[door closes]

[sighs tiredly]

[clanks]

-[foot thumps] -Where are you going?

Moving out. I'm sorry we've overstayed our welcome.

No. Jimmy, I--No. I didn't--

-[grunts] -I don't want you to--I--

Where are you going?

[door opens]

[door closes]

Hey.

[sniffs] You don't have to be upset.

Andrew said he'll do it.

Jimmy won't speak to me.

[tearful sigh]

[sobs]
