Thanks for last night.

Yeah it was fun. You can't afford that house.

We have enough for the house.

We still have $3,412 left for th What wedding?

Our wedding!

You need to think about how you’ living, Jimmy.

You're not a kid anymore.

You can talk to me about anythin

I like it when you do.

I really, really like him.

He really, really like you Neens

You can tell by the way he looks

I suck at intimacy.

So do I.

[Nina] No need to open the computer.

No need. Absolutely no need.

Nothing to learn. Nothing new since last night

except maybe another email from a Nigerian scam.

[whistling music]

Best not to think about emails at all.

Concentrate on something else.

[whistling music]

[clacks]

[phone rings]

[Billie grunts]

[ringing continues]

[Mick grunts]

[Mick sighs]

[Mick grunts] Hey.

Hi, Billie. It's Nins.

-Nina, it's Mick. -[Nina] Hi, Mick.

-Is that Nina? -Yes, it's Nina.

-[Billie] Hi, Nina. -[Mick] Hi, Nina!

Hi, Mick.

-[Mick] That was Billie. -Hi, Billie.

Rocket's here too.

-Hi, Rocket. -[Mick] Hi, Rocket!

-Do you want Billie? -Yes.

[Mick] Okay, okay.

This is way too early for this call.

Sorry.

Uh, how are the wedding preparations going?

-We're--we're asleep. -Sorry.

-You're coming with me today for the dress. -[Nina] Mm-hm.

[Billie] And what-- why are you calling me now for?

Just to say hello.

[Mick snoring]

Is this about the email?

No. Yes.

-Nins... -[Nina] Okay, bye.

[dial tone beeps]

[Nina] It's a test of willpower.

Turns out I suck at test of willpower.

"Looking forward to seeing you."

[Patrick] Hey.

Why are you up so early?

[stammers] Oh. I, uh, I di...

-[Patrick] What are you doing? -[Nina] Uh, nothing.

[toilet flushing]

[taps]

What's this?

That's your list for today.

Oh, I've already got a list.

[Billie] No, no, no, no. Cut that list.

This is the replacement list.

[sighs] What's different?

All the stuff that didn't fit on my list

is now on your list.

Oh, groovy.

And when we see your mom today,

we're gonna show her the best time.

No, no, no. The way you handle my mother

is you try to spend as little time

with her as possible.

And when you're with her, just try and go numb.

[Billie] I want to get in good with her.

In two days, she's gonna be my mother-in-law.

Oh, now, my mother must not...

I repeat, must not see us living in our own garage.

[Patrick] Hey, are you coming to work with me?

Uh, I'm having breakfast at mom's.

[Patrick] Don't forget,

it's Martin's book launch tonight.

I haven't forgotten.

[Nina] Chris Havel's gonna be there.

Chris Havel's gonna be there.

-Who? -Chris Havel.

Oh, Chris Havel, the guy you had that fling with last year.

Did I say "fling"?

Yeah, a "fling with," "crush on".

Oh, you weren't a couple, but you liked him.

The married guy.

-Yep. -Good. Okay.

-So he's gonna be there tonight? -Mm-hmm.

-I'll see you at work. -Mm-hm.

[smooch]

[Patrick giggles]

[Nina] Patrick, wait!

He sent me an email.

Saying what?

-I'll show you. -No. You don't have to show me.

Come on. I want you to see.

-[keyboard clicking] -See? Nothing to worry about.

"Coming to Melbourne for Martin's book launch. Looking forward to seeing you."

Yeah, that's really full-on. I hope they make a movie of it.

[laughs] Yes.

Blockbuster.

-I'll see you at work. -[Nina] Mm-hm.

Okay.

[footsteps distancing]

[door knob clanks open]

[Nina] All out in the open.

[door shuts]

[Nina] Nothing to worry about.

[car door clicks]

-[Jimmy] Hi, Nins. -[Nina] Hi.

What are you doing?

It's embarrassing.

I'm just selling some stuff.

Um, I got those years ago

when I thought I'd be an eBay entrepreneur.

I'm selling everything.

Paying back my debts.

I'm even selling my Omnyxtopia character.

What's Omnyxtopia?

Where'd you think I was between 2001 and 2003?

I was at the computer, creating a strata 10 cyborg warrior

called Clystamemnos.

Did she have abnormally large breasts?

Yes.

[Jimmy] Big, big titties.

-Hi. -[Nina] Hi.

She's still giving me the freeze about the dead fish.

[Jimmy] I'm gonna pay you back!

-Gonna pay me back? -[Jimmy grunts]

[imitating exploding noises]

I'll believe it when I see the cold, hard cash.

This is gonna be the cheapest wedding ever staged.

-It has to be. -Oh, darling.

-I wish you'd let us help you more. -No.

You and dad have already been so generous. Honestly.

And I--I really wanna keep it small scale and simple. Really.

How are the tenants going?

Can I just say?

Living in your own garage

while a bunch of Canadian acrobats rent out your house

is not as much fun as it sounds.

'Cause they don't-- They don't fire-twirl,

or stilt-walk or caper for your entertainment.

No, they just smoke bongs

and go on and on about how everything's better in Quebec.

Oh!

[chuckling]

So your head's still in the email.

[Geraldine] Oh, what email is that?

Chris Havel's coming to Melbourne today.

-Oh. -[Billie] Okay, Nins. Battle plan.

Things are going really well with you and Patrick, right?

-You are over Chris Havel. -Mm-hmm.

I mean, yes, you had feelings for Chris.

There was the hotty-hotness.

And the lips, the eyes.

-Oh, yeah. There they are. -All right, Billie.

-[Geraldine] Yes, that's enough. -Sorry.

Anyway, whatever happens, you're bringing Patrick to the wedding.

[Geraldine chuckles]

[intercom chatter]

-[Cherie] Hey. -[Nina] Mm?

-How you doing? -Oh, me? I'm fine.

Chris Havel's coming tonight.

-Yes, he is. -So, how you doing?

-Not thinking about it. -Mm-hm.

-Chris Havel. Chris Havel. Chris Havel. -Pardon?

Uh, I said they're, uh, Mrs. Ellison's charts.

[Nina] Oh. Oh, great.

Uh, we're gonna Chris Havel her in the Chris Haveling suite.

Yeah, no, move it to the birthing suite.

Uh, yeah, that's what I said.

[sighs heavily] Okay, just...

hold on a minute.

You are thinking of him.

Yes, I am, all right?

Why would Clegg even invite him to this book launch?

He's a pediatric consultant.

He's making a speech.

Great.

Does Patrick know about Chris?

Yeah. I showed him the email.

Yeah, I mean, does he know the full story?

-Give me those. -That way.

[Patrick] Zara, everything okay?

-[papers rustle] -Yeah.

Oh, don't tell me you have a crush

on Chris Havel too.

[Zara] Crush? Is that what Nina said?

-She might have said "fling". -No. No, no, no, no.

That wasn't a fling.

It was Kate and Leo in Titanic.

No. It was... It was Jessica Mauboy in the song, "Like This."

You know the bit where it gets to the chorus?

-No. -[Kim] There was running down hallways.

There was crying. There were phones ringing.

There were a lot of phones ringing.

Are you saying it was major?

It was a solitary tear

suspended on the cheek of time.

Excuse me.

Is it possible this whole Chris Havel thing

is a bigger deal than I thought?

Oh. Why do you say that?

[Patrick] Well, Kim and Zara seem to think--

I wish everyone would just calm down.

I'm calm.

I just want you to be honest.

It's no big deal.

Should I be worried?

No.

Okay.

[Nina] Please let that be true.

[despondent music]

Mwah.

[pats]

-[Nina] How's it going, Billie? -[Billie] Good.

-Are you disturbed by how cool Billie is? -Yes.

Just, I thought she was gonna be a bridezilla but she's not.

No. I... No.

I'm actually a bit afraid.

[Billie] What are you guys talking about?

I was just saying how good you are

at being a bride.

[Billie] Oh, thanks.

How is she affording this dress?

These--these guys just love her,

they offered to make the gown.

Did she do a good real estate deal?

[Nina] No, no, they just love her.

What do I have to do to make them love me?

-[Billie] Hey, Nins. -Mm?

[Billie] Do you mind if we invited Zara to the wedding?

You know, for Jimmy.

Uh, I don't know. They're not on anymore.

-[Billie] Really? -Zara hasn't been staying over recently.

No, she's been really down in the dumps.

The whole Jimmy thing's made her feel flat.

[Billie] Well, that's a shame.

[male #1] Almost ready.

-Are you okay? -Hm? Yep. I'm fine.

Nina, I know you're trying to keep a level head

-about seeing Chris... -Yeah, yeah, I am.

But, you see, it's very difficult

when everyone keeps bringing it up.

I mean, what do you expect me to do?

Have a meltdown, or--or blow up, or something?

I'm not that girl anymore. I've moved on. All right?

[Billie] What's going on out there?

Mentioned Chris Havel. She's having a tantie.

[chuckles] Oh. Okay, fine.

-He's so lovely. -Shut up.

Don't worry.

[male #2] Here she is.

[Billie] Do I look okay?

Oh, Billie.

[door knob clicks]

-[camera shutters] -Hi, Nins.

[keys clanging]

What's all this stuff doing here?

I'm gonna sell it online.

Uh, what happened to the yard sale?

Nah, that was a bust.

This is gonna work.

Oh, so my place becomes a showroom?

Um, yes.

If--if buyers come through to check stuff out,

that's okay, right?

Don't sell anything of mine.

I'm chasing less owly clientele.

[chuckles]

[Jimmy] Those sounds he makes,

they must be clues, right?

Oh, God.

Well--well, he just made a latte.

I mean, he must belong to someone.

And that someone must miss him, yeah?

[Ralph pecks] Cheeky and sweet.

[Jimmy chuckles] Oh, Ralphie.

He says all sorts of cool shit like that.

[Ralph] Nectar of the gods.

[metal thuds]

[Chris] You know you'll always be very special to me, Nina.

I wish you much happiness.

[Nina] I have that happiness.

Don't I?

You're reading that letter from Dr. Chris.

How do you know about this letter?

[chuckles] Come on, Nins, I live here.

You think I don't go through your stuff?

What?

That is such an invasion of privacy!

[Jimmy] Okay, relax. I'm gonna move out anyway.

Um... Patrick can move in if he wants to.

Who says I want him to?

I let myself in.

I can come back if you're fighting.

God, sorry, that you just heard that.

It's time to go.

[whispers] Thanks.

[sighs]

Well, here we are. [chuckles nervously]

Nina, about before--

Yeah, I was just talking in the heat of the moment.

-Were you? -Yeah, I was.

I do that with my brother sometimes.

You know, we fight.

Can we just-- Can we just--

[Patrick] Hey, hey, listen. Come here.

Just a sec.

[Nina] Oh.

-Hi. -Hi.

What's going on?

What? Nothing. I don't know.

I'm just...

I'm gonna be under so much pressure.

-You know what I think? -[Nina] What?

I think you're nervous about seeing your ex tonight.

-My ex? He's not my ex. -Yeah, and you feel guilty,

so you're getting pre-emptively angry with me.

Oh.

You don't have to. Okay?

Okay.

Okay.

[indistinct chattering]

[male #3] Yes.

-[Cherie] Hello. -[Nina] Hi.

[Cherie] Mwah.

[imitating growls]

Welcome, welcome.

-[Nina] Mwah. -Oh, boy.

Congratulations, buddy-o.

Thank you, Patrick.

-Chris isn't here yet. -Right.

[Renee] Oh, look, it's Auntie Nina.

[Nina] Oh, hi. Hi, Stella.

Donor daddy's launching his book, hey?

[Renee] Yeah, we didn't want her to miss it.

-[Nina] No. -[Cherie] Nina.

-Mm? -[Renee] Oh! Look who it is.

[reverse whirring sound]

Oh.

[stunned sound]

[Nina snickers]

-Hi. -Hi.

[Cherie] Chris, you're here.

I can't believe you're here.

Cherie, you look amazing.

So do you.

[Martin] There he is, there he is,

there he is, there he is, there he is,

there he is, there he is.

Ah, Chris, how are you?

[Nina] How long is it?

Almost a year.

[indistinct chattering]

[Nina] He's beautiful.

Beautiful.

-Pardon? -Huh?

Oh, the--

This gallery is beautiful.

-He's beautiful, you mean. -He who?

It's okay to think he's beautiful.

I think he's beautiful.

I'm thinking of switching sides.

Ah, he's married though, isn't he?

[Nina] Yes, he is.

[pensive sound]

[Martin] Patrick, Patrick, Patrick, Patrick.

[Martin clears throat]

Dr. Patrick Reid, our new anesthetist, my old friend,

-May I present Dr. Chris Havel. -[Patrick] Good day.

Chris Havel. How are you?

-I've heard a lot about you. -Oh, really? From who?

-Nina. -[Chris] Uh-oh.

[laughing]

The legend of Chris Havel.

[chuckles]

Very good with the babies.

[chirps]

-[Patrick] You okay? -[Nina] Yep.

I'm just parched.

Where are the drinks in this place?

[Patrick] Right there.

[Nina] Great. Good.

[sighs]

[indistinct chatter]

-So, can you see your mom anywhere? -She's not here.

Well, maybe she's already inside.

[Mick sighs heavily]

[Billie knocks]

[Mick] Billie, it's no use.

Nothing you do is gonna impress her.

-She's unimpressible. -We'll see.

She's getting dropped off from the airport.

We're going out to dinner. There'll be fabulous wine.

Where's Andrew?

I cannot believe Andrew agreed to have mom stay.

Yeah, you must have done a great job convincing him.

Me? You were the one that spoke to him.

That's on your list.

-Which list? -The new one!

So you're saying until this morning it was on your list?

-[Billie] Andrew! Andrew! -Jesus, Billie!

-[Andrew] Open up! -[Mick] I'm calling him.

[knocking]

Andrew, hi. Where are you?

-He's in Auckland. -What? What's he doing in Auckland?

We're getting married the day after tomorrow.

He's coming back tomorrow. Look, is mom staying at yours?

Oh, okay, he's calling me four-letter words.

-Oh, God! -Yeah, no. It's--

We'll sort it. Okay, we'll sort it.

-[Mick] Bye. -[wails]

You know if you tilt your head back,

it'll go down faster.

[phone ringing]

[Nina] Billie. Hi, Billie.

Mick's mom has to stay at your place.

-What? -Nina, please.

No.

But she can't stay at our place.

We--we live in a carport.

And we-- we've got acrobats.

I've got Jimmy and a bird.

Well, dad's--dad's place has a baby.

Mom's place has mom.

Then where are we gonna put Mrs. Holland?

It's Miss Bassett.

-Your mom's name's Bassett? -Yeah, after she divorced dad,

-she went back to her maiden name. -There a guy at the airport.

The driver's there with a sign saying, "Mrs. Holland."

-Oh. Uh-- -Oh, God.

Yeah, Billie? I've gotta--

-Oh, I've gotta go. -What?

-[Chris clears his throat] -[Nina] Bye.

[Chris] Hi, everyone.

My name's Chris Havel.

And I'm honored to introduce my friend's book.

And Martin started writing it

almost two years ago now.

Round about the time

I came to work at St. Francis.

Which is when I met the woman I fell in love with.

And it was instant, you know?

Everything just clicked into place.

I only wish I'd had the sense

to stay and make her mine.

But I'm back now, so we can wipe out the past year

because this love is our destiny.

[laughing]

And it was inspiring to see Martin's commitment

to the writing,

his thoroughness and his medical brilliance.

So, here he is, the man himself.

Martin Clegg.

[applause]

Thank you so much, Chris. Thank you.

And, uh,

thank you for your contribution

to the book.

The book. Uh...

[heavy breathing]

My, uh...

Uh-oh.

My... My...

My daughter is here tonight.

She was born on the pool table of a pub.

She was conceived when I...

donated my sperm to a colleague.

Her mothers are lesbians. I like lesbians.

-[Kim] Somebody kill him. -[Martin] Anyway, uh...

Good. Eat and drink and thank you for coming.

Thank you. Thank you.

[applause]

[chattering]

Thanks.

[paper rustles]

Can you, um... Can you hold that?

I just need to go to the ladies.

[Zara] Nina.

-Can I talk to you? -Yes, sure.

[Zara] Uh...

How's Jimmy?

Oh, I don't know how to answer that.

But he's still living with you?

Yeah.

-You remember what happened with his fiancée? -Yeah.

Well, ever since then, he's just--He's been...

-Right. -[sighs]

Oh, Zara, I'm sorry. Really, I am.

No. I understand.

Jimmy and me, it was a-- It was a casual thing.

That's how it goes sometimes.

Mm.

[Nina] Maybe.

[Billie] Oh, God. Cliffy, you're a lifesaver. Thank you.

Thanks.

Bye.

Fabulous apartment for your mum.

Billie, you're amazing. You're moving mountains,

but nothing is gonna work on my mum.

Oh, oh. Charlie's car.

Okay, don't show any signs of weakness.

Don't apologize for anything.

Don't let her drag any personal information

-out of you. -Babe, I've got it.

-Hello, Michael. -Hello, mom.

Hm.

[both moans]

[Marilyn] Oh!

-This must be my new daughter-in-law. -Hello.

Don't be shy.

He's told me virtually nothing about you.

-I was worried. -How was your flight, mom?

Oh, it was a flight.

But I'm here to see your lovely bride.

We're--we're taking you out to dinner.

Oh!

[Marilyn] Oh, oh.

Thank you, no. I've got a headache.

I--I'd like to stay in tonight.

-Whatever you like. -[Marilyn] Mm.

I'll just get the...

-I'll get them. -That's fine.

-Let me. I've got them. -I'll let you get them.

[Billie] Thanks. Thanks, Charlie.

[car engine starts]

A voice like nails down a blackboard.

-Mom. -Has she got an off switch?

Do you want me to put you back on that plane?

I was only teasing.

Hey.

Hi, I thought you'd gone.

No, still here.

[Nina sighs cheerfully]

-How are you? -I'm good.

Good.

[chuckles]

How are you?

Good.

[Nina chuckling]

How's Alice?

Yeah, she's good.

She's, uh, she's better.

[door squeaks open]

-[Patrick clears throat] Hey. -Hey.

-Shall we go? -Yep.

It was great to meet you.

Patrick. Pleasure.

Yeah.

-Bye. -See you.

[footsteps approaching]

What are you doing?

Nothing, nothing. Just...

That's that.

Finished. Done.

Congratulations, Martin.

Thank you.

Do you wanna take me home?

[door shuts]

-Hey, Jimmy. -Good day.

[footsteps approaching]

-Zara asked after you tonight. -Oh, yeah?

She'd probably appreciate a call, Jimmy.

Are you meddling?

Your actions affect other people.

[feet stomping]

[zippers rasps open]

[Patrick] So, what was all that about?

What?

[Patrick] Tonight.

You were awkward,

nervous...

blushing.

Oh, probably the wine.

That wasn't the wine.

It was Chris Havel.

I...

hardly spoke to him all night.

Nina.

[romantic music]

I'm with you.

Are you?

Because, most of tonight, it felt like you wished I wasn't there.

The thing-- The thing I had with Chris.

It...

It was...

There were feelings.

But it was never a--

a proper relationship.

So I can't compete with him,

because, in your head, he's perfect.

Maybe I should go.

No.

Stay.

Stay.

["Peter Pan" by Jinja Safari playing]

[Ralph] Nectar of the gods! Nectar of the gods!

Soy latte. Soy latte. Soy latte.

Are you selling Clystamemnos

or Clystamemnos plus the leisure center?

The whole lot.

Do you remember Schmetisikilis?

Yeah.

Yeah, yeah, the billionairess from Sword, right?

-Yeah. -Yeah.

Clysta had some incredible times with her and Gellotup.

That's me.

I'd always imagined you were a girl.

You too.

-I'll give you 5,000 bucks. -Okay.

-Pretty lady. Pretty lady. -Here we go.

[guffaws]

[Nina] Another day.

And already, it's like last night was a dream.

A Chris Havel dream

-with no bearing on today. -[Cherie] Nina.

-[Nina] Mm? -Where have you been all morning?

It's kind of private.

Oh, we're your friends.

What is it, Cherie?

Okay. So, um...

I'm coming home this morning and I come to the door,

-and there's... -[Kim] Hang On.

Where'd you been all night?

Nowhere.

Oh, God.

Here we go again.

Yeah. Yeah. But that's not the story.

Okay, so, um, I come through the door

and Darcy's there, and there's Ray.

Cherie. Cherie, it's Ray. He--he was walking around

and he--he fell down, and he held his breath,

and then he passed out.

Okay, right. Calm down.

-Our son is unconscious. -Trust me.

[Cherie] See? He's okay.

He's just had a breath-holding spell.

Lots of kids do this.

Has that ever happened to our daughter, Stella?

Well, if it had, I'd tell you, Casanova.

Yeah, but I thought I'd better get him checked out.

You know, make sure there's nothing serious.

Good idea.

So, I rang Chris Havel.

-What? -Well, he's in town and he--

And he's always been good with Ray.

Yeah, there's no sign of any injury.

But I can order some tests for Ray if you like.

An EEG will rule out epilepsy.

And a blood test check for iron deficiency and anemia.

Thank you.

Oh, it's easy.

Heading by the hospital later today.

Oh! To say hello?

Kind of. Um...

I'm thinking about coming back for good.

He--he's coming back?

-With the wife? -No.

Alice and I aren't together anymore.

We've split up.

[playful music]

[sighs]

[confusing music]

Hey.

[Nina giggles]

Oh, hi.

Thought I might catch you out here.

[snickers]

I've mostly avoided this balcony, actually.

-I missed you. -I have to go and...

What did you just say?

Nothing.

It's okay.

Yeah, I have to go and, uh, say hello.

Arrange some tests.

Yes. Cherie told me. Ray.

Yeah.

But I'd like to see you to talk.

Catch up.

Just away from all this.

[Nina] You don't have to agree, Nina.

You can say no. You can.

Of course, there's nothing wrong with talking.

-[Chris] I understand if you don't want to. -I do.

[romantic music]

-Tonight? -Yes.

-Vassilio? -[Nina] Okay.

-Seven? -Sure.

Okay, I've printed out a schedule for tomorrow.

-You got a copy for me? -Yeah.

Oh.

What's your mom doing today?

I don't know. I think she's shopping for an outfit.

Mm. She's a sweetheart.

Ha! No. She's not.

-[cell phone rings] -Hi.

Darling, do you live with a troupe of Canadian acrobats?

[pole clattering]

[cell phone rings]

You talking to me now, are you?

[Billie] Get your ass over to our place

-and take charge of Mick's mother now. -Eh?

[Billie] She cannot know we live above the garage.

[dial tone beeps]

[footsteps thumping]

Um...

Mrs. Holland?

It's Bassett.

Marilyn.

I'm... I'm Billie's brother, Jimmy.

[clattering]

[rustling]

-You meeting mom and dad tonight? -Yes.

And if I have to go through that ordeal, I need an anaesthetic.

What's that?

Valium and gin. Want some?

No, thanks.

[male #5] Oh, nectar of the gods.

-[laughs] -[male #6] It's made too soon.

What?

Will you wait here for one second?

Ha!

Here we go.

[male #5] What have you done to my parrot?

I--I got him some new duds.

[Jimmy] Come on, Ralph.

There you go, Ralph.

Home again. Safe and sound.

Her name is Julietta.

Sorry about that, Ralph.

Thank you.

Hello.

Where have you been?

Touching.

You want some?

Yeah. What the hell?

[march music]

-Hey. -Hm?

Oh, hey.

-I'm finished. -Are you?

-Heading home. -Right.

Come over tonight.

Oh, I've got a family thing. I've got a...

[Nina] A lie. An out-and-out lie.

A lie right to his face.

Yeah, it's Mick's mother.

-Well, come over later. -Mm-hm.

Yes. [chuckles]

[Miss Bassett] Acrobats smoking bongs, people sleeping in chairs.

-It's a garage, mom. -And exotic birds too.

Oh, what wonderful, colorful lives you live.

[laughs] Jimmy?

I'm assuming you had something to do with this.

[Marilyn] And he was charming.

Your best friend, Mick. You can tell a lot about a man

by the company he keeps, can't you?

-Meaning? -Hm.

-Only teasing. -[Mick] Don't worry about her, Geraldine.

[door bell jingles]

Hi.

Hi.

-Am I late? -Not at all. Uh...

You look beautiful.

Oh, so do you.

[chuckles]

Shall we sit or stay standing?

Oh, let's sit. [giggles]

Okay.

[Chris clears throat]

You went to Baltimore.

Yeah.

I never thought either of my sons would ever get married.

It's interesting what they will settle for.

-Now, hang on a minute. -Here's Billie.

-[Mick sighs in relief] -[Billie] Hi.

Uh, Marilyn.

Um, this is my father, Darcy.

[Darcy] Wonderful to meet you, Marilyn.

You too.

[Billie] Here we are.

-[Billie] Let's eat. -[cell phone rings]

Oh, um, somebody's phone

Jimmy.

[cell phone ringing]

[ringing continues]

-Hello? -Jimmy!

[ringing continues]

[Billie clears throat]

[yells]

-[Darcy] Jimmy? -[Billie] Jimmy?

[Darcy] Jimmy, hey.

[dishware clinking]

So, why did you come back?

Well, my dad had a heart attack.

-Oh, no. -Mm.

Well, he's--he's okay. Everything's fine now.

You?

Well, I didn't have a heart attack.

[laughs]

No. I mean, um...

Cherie told me that you and Alice are not together anymore.

No.

We tried.

We really tried.

We just couldn't make it work.

So, the man from last night...

-Patrick. -Patrick.

-He's your boyfriend? -He is.

-Great. -Mm. It's new.

I feel disloyal even speaking about him.

Oh, that's all right. Yeah.

You seem happy.

Do I?

Um...

I am. [sighs]

Well, I was until I got an email from you.

Why did you have to pick now?

I don't know.

Sorry.

I don't know what I'm doing.

A secret, silly part of me has always thought

that there was someone.

The one, you know?

And I can't help thinking...

I mean... I mean, uh...

That silly, secret part of me...

thinks that it might be you.

Despite everything.

Ever since I got your email I've been thinking,

"What if?"

What--

[whimpers] "What if I miss out on this thing that's ever--

I kept wondering

if it'd be the same when I saw you.

It is.

Is it?

I didn't mean to come back and--

Okay, I'm dis-- I'm such a cow.

I lied to Patrick about where I was going tonight.

And that's just...

I think we should go.

Where?

I'll walk you home.

And then I'll go back to my hotel.

Excuse me, I'll just get the bill, please.

[male #7] Sure.

[Nina] How long you're here for?

[Chris] I leave tomorrow.

I'm gonna walk the rest of the way home by myself.

-You sure? -Yeah, I'm sure. I'm...

It's fine. I'll be fine.

-Thank you for dinner. -Thanks for seeing me.

I'm glad I did.

[romantic music]

No. I can't. I don't-- I don't wanna be this person.

I can't be this person.

I can't. I can't.

[vibrant music]

-Hello. -Hi.

Are you on drugs?

[Jimmy] Yeah, I had a Valium and a gin.

Okay.

I did it, Zara.

I did the thing with the ledger.

I made back all the money I owed.

Now I can get out of here.

-Yeah? -Yeah.

I'm gonna get me a job as an, um,

as an air courier.

And go to the States, and I don't know, ditch the return,

and maybe become a counselor at a summer camp called--

Jimmy, I'm pregnant.

Eh?

I don't wanna interfere with your plans.

I'm just telling you.

Oh...

You're gonna have a baby?

Well, I don't know if I'm having it.

But there's one in there and it's yours.

Wow.

Um... Wha--whatever you... want,

I'll be there.

Well, that's a great offer, but--

I'll support you whatever you want.

Support how?

Be a dad?

[scoffs]

Jimmy, you can't be a dad.

You're not done being a child.

You're gorgeous, but...

you're useless.

Valium and gin. You're gonna have...

such a hangover tomorrow.

[puffs]

[door clicks open]

Oh, Marilyn, hi. I.. I hope you weren't asleep.

No. I haven't even gone to bed yet.

-Uh, come in. -Thank you.

Can I, uh...

Can I get you something? A--a...

-gin? -Oh, no.

I, um...

I just wanted to discuss a potential problem.

I hope there's no trouble.

I came here to say, um...

don't spoil anything tomorrow.

[scoffs]

What sort of person do you think I am?

I think I know exactly the kind of woman you are.

Well, I'm sorry if I've unwittingly trodden on any of your toes.

Look, Billie and Mick deserve some joy

Really? What happened?

And if you do anything to undermine my daughter or your son's happiness

you're gonna have to answer to me.

[sighs heavily]

Darcy?

[door clicks]

[scoffs]

Geraldine.

Darcy!

Even for you, this is...

Even rutting dogs have some standards!

[door clicks, creaks]

Hi.

[clatters]

[sighs]

I'm up to a good bit.

[snickers]

Tonight was great.

What dinner were you at? It was a disaster.

You're in a love bubble with my mom.

Don't worry.

Got the rest of our lives for you to see

what she's really like.

-Mick? -Mm?

Rest of our lives.

That starts tomorrow.

It's already started.

Yeah, I know, but I...

But as of tomorrow, I'm gonna be your wife.

Your real-life forever after wife.

Yeah, I know.

And you're gonna be my husband.

I'm gonna be at a cafe and I'll be like,

"No, you can't have that chair

'cause I'm waiting for my husband."

[chuckles]

Is this just occurring to you now?

-Mick? -Mm-hm?

I can't wait.

Me either.

[romantic music]

[smooches]

-Patrick. -Mm-hm?

Wait, wait.

What's the matter?

I--I met up with Chris Havel tonight.

I thought you had a family thing on tonight.

That wasn't true.

[Patrick clears throat]

You met up with him where?

At a restaurant. We had dinner.

You know, I knew you had to see him.

You didn't have to keep it a secret.

Okay.

So this is not ideal.

Nina, I don't want to share you.

And I don't want to lose you.

So what do you suggest I do?

Say something.

Oh, I'm sorry.

Should I--Should I leave?

I think you should figure out what it is you want.
