Original subtitles

You're pregnant.

You're going to be an auntie.

Gonna have a baby! Gonna have a baby!

I’ll take the one - 700! 700 and sold.

What have we just done?

We're home owners! We’re owners! pregnant fuckin’ home owners!

Hey, I could probably sneak you for that ultrasound now?

I couldn't remember if there was laundry or not.

Just keep talking, Billie.

Please don't stop talking so I don't have to start.

There’s no heartbeat.

I...I...Ididn't feel...

Oh, there's no way you could hav

You've obviously heard the rumor

I might, I might have heard you had a drug habit.

I can't believe any woman would

A woman did, she chose to marry

We're divorced now. So am I. Good.

So is your ex-wife - Jodie - she in Perth

With her new husband and baby. Yours?

You're the one who's terrified of getting involved and feeling

And it's not fair.

-[machine beeps] -Hi, you called Patrick Reid.

[Nina] Hi, Patrick, it's me.

Just a thought I should let you know

about something this morning, something that happened.

[alarm beeping]

After you left for work...

Hey.

There's some bread in the freezer.

Um, I'm having breakfast with Billie. But thanks.

-How is she? -She agreed to meet with me, that's a good sign.

Spare key. Don't forget the top lock.

I've gotta go.

[Nina] I sort of fell back asleep for a bit.

And then I was getting out of the shower...

[Kate] Oh, shit!

Oh, sorry! Oh, God, I'm so sorry,

I thought it must have been Pat. Sorry!

Huh,

-Dr. Proudman? -Hm.

Oh, my God. Hello.

It's--it's Kate, remember? Patrick's sister.

[Nina] Took me a second before I placed her.

Well, you've seen my vagina

-so at least were even now. -[chuckles]

And I'm sure mine was in a more severe state than yours.

-Yes. -Now, just excuse me while I shamelessly pilfer

my brother's kitchen supplies.

I've just move into place I've literally--

[Nina] She's really chatty and I was a bit stunned.

-And somehow... -How about dinner tonight? Are you here?

-Oh. -I'll bring around a tiramisu.

-Well-- -You know, it was just such a difficult time

when Isabella was born. It'll be great to catch up now properly, that's all, you know.

Of course.

Sorry, I hope it's not to early

in the relationship to...

to, um-- Well, I just..

hope it's okay.

Call me.

[Nina] Relationship? Yes, relationship.

[paper rustles]

[Mick] Good morning.

Hey, can you not unpack everything in the middle of the night?

If you need kitchen stuff,

set's on the side here.

I wanted the sandwich-maker.

That's in the appliances box. That one.

All in the list.

You don't have to unpack ten boxes.

[Mick] Yeah.

[water sloshing]

What time do you finish tonight?

I don't know.

Andrew is hoping to have dinner.

Before the gig.

[Billie] I don't know what time I'm finishing, so...

Billie, we haven't seen him since...

It's been two weeks.

I've spoken to him twice.

What?

We've barely seen each other.

I can handle you furious, I can handle you unhinged, I...

I can't handle you avoiding me.

Mick, in case you're not aware,

we've just bought this house, okay,

we've bought this ridiculously expensive

I'm aware of that. I'm actually aware of that.

One of us needs to be earning money,

so forgive me if I don't have the whole--

Mick, shit!

Don't worry about it, it's fine.

It's fine ok? These boxes are fine.

[clatters]

[Billie] I've gotta go.

Found it.

[metal clanks]

[door slams]

[Nina] Oh, sorry, do you want to...?

[Billie] Nins, it's fine.

[indistinct chatters]

[Nina] Thanks.

Sorry.

Sometimes I'm sick of everyone being on Billie watch.

It's okay.

Cherie has been dropping around every second night with baked goods.

We've never had a "drop in and let's eat baked goods" relationship.

[chuckles]

She's--she's trying to be nice.

Yeah, she's always got Ray on her hip.

Well, maybe she thinks it'd be weird not to bring him.

She just keeps telling me stuff.

-Like personal stuff. -[Nina] Um.

Like this miscarriage she had.

We'd um... We'd only been together

for a few months, Pete and I.

I mean, nothing like you and Mick.

But, um, you imagine this whole future together

and--and-- Then it's just gone.

[Billie] How's that supposed to make me feel?

Oh.

[chatter]

Mick says, you've been working crazy hours.

What did-- Did he ring you?

No, I rang,

to see how you both were.

He's been gigging every night

and I've been working that's--

Actually, can--can we just

-change the subject. -Yeah, of course.

[distant baby voice]

[sighs]

-How are, you? -I'm okay.

Yeah, how's Doc Five O'clock Shadow?

[laughs] You'll love this.

This morning, I got sprung by Patrick's sister,

-stark naked. -Naked?

Patrick had gone to work, I was having a shower,

and she turned up at the apartment, and...

-[screams] -[laughs]

Now we're having dinner together.

What?

Yes, she said, "Let's have dinner".

And I just went, "Oh! Um... yep!".

Tonight at his place.

-Nins, that's awful. -What?

-Oh, my God, you must want to kill yourself. -Why?

Well, you sprung a family function

without consultation.

Is he okay with it?

Ah, I haven't got onto him yet.

Well, it took me four years to meets Mick's brother.

I still haven't meet his mother.

Does the sister even know that you two are together?

Yeah, he-- Yes.

I thi--I think.

He told her, I think.

-Hey. -She's just right over there.

-Take your time. -Okay.

What'd you find up there?

Hey! Hey!

Hello.

-Kate. -Hello.

Hello. What are you doing here?

Oh, you know, I just thought I'd drop by,

see how you are,

see what's going down in Patrick Town.

Okay.

Is there anything you wanna tell me?

Not really. Hey.

Anything you want to tell me about...

naked, blonde obstetricians cavorting in your apartment?

Didn't he make some big declaration

about not being in a relationship?

-Yeah, but that was weeks ago. -Weeks ago?

Yeah. And he seemed really comfortable with me now.

So I-I-I assume he's--he's past that...

-With you? -Stop quoting me back to myself.

-I'm not speaking Swahili. -Swahili?

Well, I wouldn't call it a relationship just yet.

Well, it doesn't matter, there's clearly ongoing "sexploits", are there not?

Then I should be notified immediately.

What was I supposed to do? Just say,

"Sorry, Nins, hang on a sec, gotta text my sister."

The first available opportunity

you should have informed me.

And then I would have sourced carbohydrates,

we would've gotten together and broken it down.

[baby cries]

Yeah, I'm smiling, but don't think

I'm not totally outraged here.

-Cancel! -No. I can't cancel.

Yes, you can. Have you got her number?

-Yes, but I can't. I can't. -Nins, think about it.

You shag someone for a couple of weeks.

And then what? They start arranging stuff?

With your family?

Yeah. I-I-I'd think--

"Oh, well, it's slightly sudden but let's make a go of it."

-Really? -Yes.

No, I'd think restraining order,

alarm bells, obsessive psycho.

What? Tonight?

Yes.

Dinner tonight?

At your place, yes.

Oh, why did you do that?

It wasn't just me. It was mutual.

Whoo, whoo, whoo, whoo!

Call the place off! Nuke it! [explosion sounds]

[phone ringing]

[crying baby]

Oh, come here, bubba.

[crying]

Hello.

Hello. Uh, Kate.

It's--It's--It's Nina Proudman. As in--

Hi, Nina!

Hi, hello.

Just about--about tonight.

Yes, I was just telling Patrick about tonight.

Oh.

Yeah, he can't wait.

-Well? -I'm now making chicken skewers

and a courgette salad

And Cherie is invited.

-Cherie? -Cherie was her midwife.

-Well, I'm coming too then. -What?

No, if this is a meet-the-sister event

-I demand to be there. -That's not gonna help the situation.

-No. Damage is done now. What's his address? -No.

-Yes. Yeah. -[Nina] No. No!

-[Nina] No. -I'm coming.

[elevator dings]

-[Cherie] Nins. -Hmm?

I didn't know you were on today?

Oh, no, no. I'm not. I'm just--

I'm getting something from my office.

Hey, have you seen Billie?

Um, yeah.

I think I might have upset her.

-Oh? -I went around yesterday with muffins,

and she said she couldn't stop, she had to keep packing the house

So I said, "Great, I'll help you."

She said-- [sighs]

She said she had a very complicated packing system

and that she should probably do it herself.

Cherie, it's--it's not you.

Billie is just dealing with things... in her own way.

[Kim] Cherie! Mrs. Hooper's having a spack again.

Was I wrong to take Ray around?

-No! -I just thought Ray's her brother so...

-[Kim] Cherie! -Yes!

I'll--I'll call you. I'll call you later.

[Nina] Okay. Conversation requiring distance.

Lots of distance, miles.

-Hello. -Oh. Hi.

Oh, so...

-Yes. -About tonight.

Yeah, look, I'm sorry, Nins.

I hope you didn't feel steamrolled by my sister.

[Nina] Yes, you do not look in any way psycho.

She just gets really excited, and can be incredibly pushy.

Oh, that's well, it's fine.

-It's absolutely fine. -Okay.

She didn't make you feel uncomfortable?

-No, I completely get the dynamic. -Yeah?

Billie, of course, insisted that she come too.

-Billie? -So, no. Yeah.

You told Billie?

[Nina] Shit. Psycho, stalker, obsessive.

While we were having breakfast.

Somehow she heard about it and, um...

Whoo, whoo, whoo, whoo.

Call the place off! Nuke it!

We can cancel. We can just cancel

if you think that it's too early in the--

No, no. It's--

Uh, it's good. It's fine.

-Is it? -Yeah.

It's fine.

[chuckles]

♪ You don't know what you're searching for ♪

And then, Those hits are gonna be

-dot, dot, dot... -[phone vibrating]

Yeah? It's going straight from the hits.

One, two. One, two, three, four.

Yes, hi. It's me. Um--

Something has come up tonight.

So you think I'm gonna be able to make that gig.

So apologies to Andrew.

And also, if you have something to say,

you say it directly to me, okay?

You don't go straight to my family

or to Nina.

-[phone beeps] -♪ You don't know what you're searching for ♪

♪ So you're never gonna find it ♪

♪ Baby, you got me running around ♪

Yeah.

♪ Tell me you don't care at all ♪

Don't you want me to bring anything home?

-Or, anything? -Oh, no. That's okay.

Actually, maybe, you could tell Cherie,

-give her a chance to... -Okay.

And maybe just tell her that--that Billie will be there?

Because... Just tell her that she'll be there.

Oh, does, um,

Cherie know about us?

I haven't told her.

Should I--

You decide.

[Nina] It's fine. He had several opportunities to back out.

He didn't. It's fine.

He told you quite categorically,

he's not interested in a relationship.

He was completely hijacked.

[speaks foreign language]

I don't care about your love life, lady.

I just wanna sell you some chicken.

And I just love how you immediately assume it was me.

[Geraldine] It's not an assumption.

-You borrowed my car. -Allegedly.

You borrowed my car.

You drove it on the eastern freeway.

I just need to borrow your food processor.

-[Geraldine] Have you seen Billie? -Yes.

She shutting me out completely. Won't answer any of my calls.

I think she just needs some space, mom.

I mean, just you know,

Where's the lid?

She shouldn't be back at work.

-[Jimmy] You having a dinner party? -Yes.

-Am I invited? -No.

I said to your father, she's clearly in some form of denial.

She's working 12 hours a day. It's ridiculous.

Seriously, where is it?

[cooking ware clanking]

You need to stop worrying about your dinner party

and show some concern for your sister.

[Nina] Oh, mum, I am concerned.

She's not telling me much of either, so...

Where's the lid?

And you need to calm down when you cook.

You get so militaristic.

Oh! No, I don't!

[Jimmy] Nina, the cooking Nazi!

Oh, excuse me, Jimmy.

That is inappropriate, thank you.

Here, it is. Oh, you've drawn up your little battle plan.

-As per usual. -No, it's not a battle plan.

[Geraldine] Cooking should be a source of joy.

I do. I do enjoy it.

[Jimmy] Oh Nins, come on. You remember Father's Day?

[wails]

For goodness sake, Jimmy.

When someone's cooking, you don't randomly change oven settings.

I put it on 200 fan-forced

because I needed it on 200 fan-forced.

Not 250! Two hundred!

Oh, well, I thought that was quite a lovely meal.

Oh, yeah, it was totally perfect.

But you still had to do your apology vomit.

Sorry. It lambs a little tough. [whimpers]

Those asparagus spears have just crusted a little bit at the end.

Could have sautéed that onion longer.

[chuckles] Sorry, sorry.

Sorry.

-[Jimmy] Is Patrick coming to this? -Yeah.

Isn't that a little bit early in the relationship...

-Who's Patrick? -for him to witness the whole...

Patrick is a man that I'm seeing.

-Who's Kate? -His sister.

Well, how long have you been seeing him?

Cherie, Billie. Am I really not invited?

-Oh, just a few weeks. -Oh.

Why was I deliberately excluded from this information?

Have my daughter's decided to chuck me out of their lives?

No, mum. No.

It's just that it's early and it's very fragile.

It's solid enough to invite the whole family to dinner except us.

[Nina] No! It's an impromptu thing.

[Geraldine] No. Look it's-- I understand. I understand perfectly.

Here, take the lid.

[cheerful music]

Hi, it's me. Just--just so you know

there's a chance--

There's a chance that my mom might be there tonight.

And my brother, Jimmy.

[feigned laugh]

Who you've met. Um... [chuckles]

The good news is, my second cousins are unavailable.

That's a joke. Joke.

Ah.

Cherie.

Dr. Reid.

Hi.

Are you free tonight?

Um, I'm booked for the general child-rearing thing

but why?

Oh, my sister, Kate, she's coming over to dinner.

-Oh. -At my place with Nina.

What's the occasion?

-Um... -[Kim chokes]

[coughs] That's seriously the most disgusting piece of fruit

I have my entire life.

Ugh.

[Kim coughs]

Uh...

Kate--Kate just wants to...

see you again. And Nina.

You know like uh, reunion I suppose of the birth team.

I completely understand if--

-Oh, no. -just that.

Cherie always gets roped into stuff like that.

No, I don't. Don't listen to her.

You do. You go to christenings and stuff.

-Only twice. -I'm a hard ass.

I go to the supermarket, women come up to me,

with their snotty-nosed kids saying, "Remember us?" I'm like,

"No. Sorry."

"Babies seem to look the same after a while."

Really kills the moment.

Cherie, Cherie's Miss Earth Mother, bubbly woman.

-Pay no attention to her. -Yeah.

-Earth mother, bubbly woman. -Oh, I loved to come.

-See? -Shut up. I would genuinely love to come.

[Kim] Price you pay, Cherie. The price you pay.

Uh, what time?

Seven.

[mellow music]

-Hi. -Hi, I'm Billie from Proudman Real Estate.

Thank you.

[sighs]

What about the study?

The study could be a kid's room.

Yeah, if the kid stops growing at eight.

[man] The garage maybe?

[woman] I'm not leaving our kids sleeping in the garage.

The last one didn't move out until 28.

[mobile phone rings]

28.

Now, it's time for our own little sanctuary.

Hm.

[Nina] You know what, I deliver babies

with massive sacral coccigeal teratomas.

I'm not gonna get worked up over coriander cougette chicken skewers for eight.

-[scoffs] -Nine, including dad.

Will dad be upset if he's not invited?

Nine! Nine.

Okay, let's do it.

Step one, finely grate the zest of a lemon.

[gasps]

Then squeeze the juice of half the lemon.

There's a joylessness.

An innate joylessness.

[Nina] Step two, peel the cougettes into thin--.

Peeler.

[kitchen utensils clinking]

[Patrick] It's kinda rushed and half-baked.

A bit like our relationship.

[Nina] Peeler. Peeler. Peeler.

Peeler.

[man] All right, hon? Watch your step here, it's a bit uneven.

-Hi. If you'd like to take a pamphlet. -I'll take that.

-[Billie] Thank you. Thanks. -[man] Thanks. Now,

-[man] Watch your feet. -[woman] I'm fine.

What are you doing?

Firstly, I didn't call Nina.

-She called me. -I'm working.

And all I said to her was that I haven't seen you for ages.

Which is something I've said to your face several times.

-And secondly-- -[man] Excuse me?

Is there an estimate?

Ah, yes. We're thinking 1.1, 1.2 if you'd like that.

-Thanks. -Thank you.

Secondly, something came up.

-Tonight? -Yeah.

It's the family's introduction to meeting Patrick.

Oh, yeah. Nina gets a boyfriend, we should all stop our lives.

-Can we talk about this later? -No, because I never get to see you.

I don't need a big discussion about everything.

I just need for us,

to be together.

At the very least, we need to see Andrew.

It's been two weeks.

He lost a baby too, Billie.

[woman] Thank you.

Can you go, please?

-You've embarrassed me. -Oh, I've embarrassed you.

Well, I'm embarrassed, Billie. I'm embarrassed.

We up-end my brother's life and then we don't even--

Would you look at me, please?

Billie?

Fuck you, Billie.

[guitar music]

[engine revs]

[Nina] Peeler. Peeler. Peeler. Peeler.

Peeler!

I can see why my brother kept you under wraps.

I wasn't even invited.

How could you let Cherie bring Ray!

You told me it was fine.

[spitting]

It's a six, at best.

[kitchen utensils clinking]

[clinking continues]

You okay?

Peeler!

[clanking]

[Nina] Oh, with the rolling pins.

Logical.

Thank you.

[clatters]

D'you invite Cherie?

Yup.

Let her know that Billie's coming?

No.

Kim was right there so I just--

I just told her my sister wanted to see her again.

I didn't tell her about us.

Sorry.

[Nina] Don't snap. Don't snap.

Listen, if you have a problem with us being in a relationship

that's fine. It's fine. You can just say that.

It's not as if I was desperate to have this dinner tonight.

It was thrust on me as well.

In fact, I was more than happy to cancel,

more than happy.

I--I--As I recall, you were the one who said,

"Let's do it, let's do it! It'll be fine.

It'll be fun!"

[siren wailing]

[sobs]

[phone beeping]

Sorry!

It's fine. I'm fine.

-[Patrick] Hi Kim, -Sorry.

it's Patrick Reid, here. Is Cherie's still there?

Oh.

Cherie, hi, it's Patrick.

Look, one last thing,

about tonight I should've mentioned,

it's not just a chance for you to meet my sister again.

Uh, mostly, it's a chance for me to meet the Proudmans.

Yeah.

Yeah, 'cause Nina and I--

we're together.

She's laughing. She loves that I think she hadn't sussed that.

She's calling me a doofus.

Oh, yeah, and Billie's gonna be here so...

She's gonna leave Ray with Darcy?

Oh, actually I was...

gonna ask you if...

she could invite him because uh--

I forgot him.

Okay, can you bring your dad?

Oh, no. Her dad.

Your...

Yeah. Um, okay, yeah. Good.

Renee and Kim are awesome at baby sitting.

All right, cool.

See you soon.

[melodious music]

Feel like peeling some zucchinis?

-[upbeat music] -Yeah. We're still talking about it.

-Yeah. -[both laugh]

Uh, they're a bit crumbly,

and I threw them together quickly but...

-Jimmy? -Yeah.

Hm.

They're really good, Cherie.

[Geraldine] Oh, the potato.

Uh, it would've been about I don't know,

-four months ago? Yeah? -Yeah.

Yeah, uh, well, uh, you should know. How old's your niece?

She's four months old.

So Nina delivered my sister's baby.

-[Darcy] Oh -Oh.

How lovely. What a lovely way to meet.

-Well done. -Hm, she actually thought

I was the horrible bastard at first.

[chuckles]

A horrible abusive bastard.

It was-- We got off on the wrong foot.

But it's a long story.

-I thought that he was-- -Hurtful?

And horrible, and I thought she was a bit snooty.

-What? -And judgmental.

-Oh, did you, that first day? -Yeah. Yeah.

-That first day with your sister? -Yep.

-I was lovely that day. -Hm-mm.

Yes, I was.

-[Nina] Snooty and judgmental? -And a bit needy.

[groans]

So now, here we are.

-Oh. -[Geraldine chuckling]

[Darcy] It was in Melbourne Uni, early '70s.

[Geraldine] Oh, early to mid.

[Darcy] And, uh, so I'm--I'm playing in a

band in the student pub. And I saw her... watching me play.

She was just standing there, smoking away.

Could not take her eyes off me.

Oh well, that's a slight exaggeration.

[Darcy] So we got a break, and I just, uh, saunter on over.

And--and she says, "I'm doing first year architecture."

And I said, well, I'm doing 3rd year commerce,

-but I'm thinking of changing to a music major. -[Geraldine] Uh-huh.

She just looks at me like this, takes a drag...

[exhales]

Stick to commerce.

[both laugh]

Anyway, two hours later, we are making love.

-Oh, great. -[Billie] Jesus, dad!

That's yuck.

And we haven't stopped since.

[Billie] Oh, yes, you have.

Yeah, well, we have.

-Several times. -Yeah. You're stopped now.

[Nina] Oh, well.

-Oh, my God. -[Billie] What?

-[Darcy] What? -[Geraldine] What?

She's broken up with his arch nemesis.

You're broken up with Phil?

-[Jimmy] Well, hang on. -[Billie] Oh.

[Jimmy] Don't you think about it?

Don't even think about it.

-[Billie] Oh. -[Geraldine] Oh, for God's sake.

Come on. Come on, it's a good story.

You only like it 'cause you're in it.

Anyway, four years ago, Billie wants to kill me, right.

Because I left her car windows open, and her seats got all moldy.

Yeah, it's actually my car, but--

[Jimmy] Okay, thanks.

So I knew Billie was gonna come

to the bar where I work, and give me an absolute serve.

So I grabbed the singer of the pub band, Mick,

"Hey, just jump behind the bar for me, and pretend to be me."

And he, like, totally went for it.

So then when Billie comes in off her nut,

goin', "Where's Jimmy Proudman?"

He's like, "Yeah. I'm Jimmy Proudman, who the hell are you?"

And then, tell them what you said.

-Tell them what you said. -[sighs] I said,

"I would never let a brother of mine have such ridiculous hair."

'Cause he had really bad bleach job back then.

-[ Jimmy chuckles] He did. -And it was love.

No, no. Then she heard him sing, and then it was love. Hey?

[Cherie] Hey, where's Mick?

Uh, he's playing tonight.

Um, you okay?

Yeah, I just haven't had a drink in three months, but tonight,

I will.

[Kate] I'm so sorry. Sorry.

[Nina] Oh, that's all right.

Lesson for the day, however longer it used to take to cook anything

factor in a four month old and quadruple it.

-[Nina] Hey. -Okay.

Oh.

Hi, I'm Kate.

-[Kate] And this is Isabella. -Hello, I'm Geraldine.

[Nina] Oversight. Massive oversight.

♪ Baby you can't be right in here ♪

♪ And telling me you don't care at all ♪

[audience applauding]

Thank you very much, we'll have a short break. See you soon.

-Hey. -[Mick] Hey, groover.

Oh, I think the last time I sat down properly

to listen to you, you were doing grunge covers.

Ugh, and trying to grow my hair long like Kurt Cobain.

-You denied this vehemently. -Yeah.

-I was a pretty shit liar, wasn't I? -Yep.

Bloody amazing singer, though...

back then.

-Bit crap now. -[Mick] Yeah.

So, uh, where's Billie?

She, um...

[sighs] Something came up.

Is she okay?

Yeah, yeah. Look--

she really wanted to come. She's gonna give you a call.

You all right?

Yeah. Yeah.

Hey, you shouldn't have bought drinks. I gotta tambourine.

What?

You're still a shit liar.

[Kate] I was so freaked out about the whole sleep factor.

I've always loved my sleep but,

I don't know when I'm-- when I hear her cry in the night,

I just--I love her so much.

I don't mind.

[Cherie] That may change.

That's incredible, that's fabulous.

-It's amazing. -Shut up, Jimmy.

[Kate] So did, um--

Did you get into the whole-- The book thing? The baby books?

Or were you chilled out about it, being a midwife?

Uh, no, no. I did the book thing.

-Hey, um, Nina, this looks amazing. -Thank you.

[Kate] I went through this whole phase of absolutely everything,

I have to check the book. Everything.

But I've kinda let that go now.

It seems okay. She hasn't died or anything.

Have you? Yeah, you're still with us.

Uh, would everyone like me to serve the salad?

Uh, I--I lost a baby recently.

I was pregnant and I lost it.

[Kate] Oh...

Oh, I'm so sorry.

It's fine--it's--

Yeah.

I had no idea. I'm so sorry.

Hey, sweetheart. You'll be a mom soon enough.

Got a will of steel, this one.

-Darcy. -It's--

It doesn't-- It doesn't work that way, daddy.

You don't will it.

Oh, I know that love, um-- I was just saying--

I know you just get someone pregnant

every time you turn a corner but it's not like that for everyone.

Some of us, it's...

It's not like that.

Sorry.

[Nina] It's okay.

Everyone, eat up.

So um, tell us some embarrassing stuff about Patrick.

-[chuckles] -[Cherie] Um, you know,

if you know stuff that he wouldn't want us to know.

-[Kate] Oh, well. -[Billie] Sorry.

Oh, darling...

I'll go.

-What? -I'll go.

[sobbing]

-[clatters] -Shit!

Billie.

-You okay? -[Billie] Yes.

I left my keys inside.

Can--can you apologize to your sister for me?

Yeah, it's fine.

I think I need sleep, I just need like a...

a year of sleep.

[Billie sighs deeply]

You're doing great by the way.

You've got mom. Once you've got Geraldine you're home at ours.

You've got dad but you know,

everyone gets dad.

Billie...

I lost my son...

at birth...

about five years ago.

Oh, God.

I'm so sorry.

With my wife, my ex-wife.

And I-- we reacted so differently.

She was paralyzed with...

it was more than grief, it was fear and horror.

And I just wanted to be unconscious.

And then I...

I got there.

Could you get me there?

[sobs]

I wouldn't recommend it.

Me and Mick are just...

It feels impossible.

It's not.

[sobbing]

Well you've been through shit before.

-She told me. -Yeah.

I bet she did.

This is different.

How?

Other times,

even when she was tearing shreds off me

I still feel her holding on. But this time...

Don't just sit here and let it fall apart.

I'm not.

You got no idea

what the past couple of weeks have been like.

I know what you're like, Mick.

You do this dad thing when you just sit there like a rock.

-Jesus. -You do, Mick.

This is not like mom and dad.

Man sits there, drinking,

woman goes quietly inside.

What am I supposed to say, "This is shit"?

"This is total shit, but I love you"?

Yes, say that.

-I have. -Well, say it again.

Mick, I swear if you let this fall apart

I'm--I'm gonna punch you.

Hard.

In the nuts.

-Bye, sweetheart. Nice to meet you. -Bye.

-Ah, thank you so much. -Oh, it's my pleasure.

And sorry again--I'm--I'm so sorry about...

It's all right. It--it-- it wasn't you.

-Here. -Oh, no, no.

-Thank you. You keep that. -Okay.

What? Is this a cooking flow chart?

Oh, that's just--It's-- Yes.

Patrick once did the cooking chart

-on Power Point. -Oh.

He set his laptop up in the kitchen

with all the steps on Power Point.

[both laugh]

And look, he's--he's really good

with all this stuff too with Billie.

He understands...

better than anyone.

Anyway,

better get going.

Thank you so much for dinner. It was fantastic.

-That's okay. -It was good.

I'm, really glad we did that.

-Yeah, let's do it again. -Okay.

[phone ringing]

[cell phone vibrates]

[cell phone vibrates continues]

[foot clicking]

-Oh, Billie. -Nins, I'm so sorry.

It's all right.

-I just left my keys. -Okay.

-Where's Patrick? -Oh he's--

he's still outside, he needs to walk around a bit.

He--he told me about his ex-wife and...

and losing their son.

[Nina] Losing their son.

I'm really sorry.

It's okay, I love you.

You too, I'll--I'll ring you tomorrow.

[footsteps]

[door opens]

[Nina] Their son?

-[Billie] Jonno, where's Mick? -He's gone.

Mick?

-[door click close] -Mick?

Your list. Your list doesn't work.

-What are you doing? -Can you go upstairs?

-Mick? -There's something I wanna do.

Mick, there's something I need you to know.

Billie, please, please, will you go upstairs?

Mick, there's something I need to say.

-Me too. Can you go upstairs. -Why?

-I'll be up in a sec. -Mi--Mick,

I ne--I need to tell you something.

-Why--why can we talk now? -Because.

I want to find my fathers ring first.

What?

[paper rustles]

You--you don't mean to--

Just would've been a lot slicker if your--

list had worked.

[clatters]

[glass clanking]

[Mick] Damn it!

He--here!

Somewhere...

Ah! [laughs]

Oh.

-[sobbing] -Billie Proudman,

Mick Proudman.

It's Holland. Jesus, it's Holland.

[laughs]

We may never be able to have kids...

but I wanna be with you forever.

Forever.

And ever, and ever.

In sickness and in health.

Yeah, I thing we'll save that bit for the wedding.

[both laugh]

Will you marry me?

Marry me.

[laughs]

[soft music]

Sorry.

No.

[key clanks]

I've been called into work.

-So... -Oh, what?

There's three emergency caesarians.

I didn't know you were on call.

You all right?

[key clanking]

Look, I'll probably work right through.

I'll call you.
