Original subtitles

Your mother and I are separating.

I realize I need to take a step towards Philip.

Instead of constantly holding in the bay.

Maybe if two people open and it was mutual.

Yeah.

You know, even when my family aren't here,

they're sort of in my head.

They can help us raise this baby.

Billy, this is getting stupid.

You didn't sleep in a house last night.

We’re lying our faces off for you.

I need the

morning after pill.

One random night

doesn't have to ruin everything.

I cheated on you.

Hi. You've reached Billie Proudman. Leave me a message.

Hi. It's me. Slightly stalkerish. Sorry.

I just miss the sound of your voice.

Even if you could shoot me a text or something, I'd really appreciate it.

I'm standing outside a baby shop... again.

Failing to go in... again.

I wish you were here to push me through my shopping anxiety.

Oh, you're gonna love this.

Patrick and I have decided that tomorrow is our last session with Lawrence.

It's Break Up with Lawrence Day.

Um... I'm--I'm sure, if you were here,

you'd be having a field day with that one.

-[knock on door] -Oh, hang on. Gotta get...

I'll get it.

No. Might be Billie. Oh, excuse me.

-Don't have to hurt me on your way there. -Sorry.

Hi-- Oh, hi, Phillip.

-Uh, I-I-I hope I'm not interrupting. -No, no.

I was wondering if you could make sense of that email we just got.

Uh, I--I haven't checked.

It was from your mother,

declaring that tomorrow's some kind of... Geraldine Day.

Hm.

Geraldine Day is kind of a non-specific birthday.

It comes when it's needed.

Mom usually announces a Geraldine Day when she wants a confrontation.

Or a reconciliation.

O--one year, when things were really bad with Dad,

we had four Geraldine Days.

-[knocking on door] -I'll get it. I'll get it, I'll get it!

[scoffs]

-[Geraldine] Ah, hello, Patrick. -Hey.

I have an announcement.

-[Phillip] Yeah. -Tomorrow, it's Geraldine Day.

God, you got around here fast.

I only sent the email 15 minutes ago. You must have sprinted.

I might have been coming to visit my daughter. Did that occur to you?

Tell me honestly, did he come around...

Please! Do not use Nina as a pawn.

I've been reading a lot of the relevant literature.

It's a classic mistake separating parents make.

Oh, for Christ's sake.

I will attend this Geraldine Day, but on two conditions.

We both agree to be civil

and you are clear that I have no intention of reconciling in a romantic sense.

[scoffs] Whatever.

Come at five. No presents, just booze.

Nina, Patrick, you free?

A--Actually, we've--we've got an appointment... in the arvo.

-Hm. We'll come after. -Mm.

Do invite your sister and the lovely cyclist man. What was his name?

-Joseph. -Yes. He's lovely.

She's done very well for herself there.

Strong thighs.

Geraldine, honestly.

It's just an observation, Phillip.

He's a man with well-built thighs. I presume it's the cycling.

I myself have only been with skinny-legged men.

-Hm. Not by design. -Did you invite Billie?

Yes, she'll be there.

Mick's got a gig, so he's coming later, but she'll be there.

Oh.

Well, how are-- how are they going?

She seemed a bit testy, and the house was ridiculously clean.

You went to visit her at home?

Just before, yes.

Why?

Hi. It's--it's me again.

[chuckles]

Um, well, Mom just came over and apparently,

we're facing another Geraldine Day tomorrow.

So... looks like we'll be seeing each other.

[phone beeping]

Billie?

Can you meet me at the Star in 15?

Yes!

[mellow music]

Oh! You're even more pregnant.

Oh, there's an actual person in there, isn't there?

I'm just hopeless if I cannot talk to you.

Oh.

I'm sorry. I really wanted to call, but...

Mick doesn't want this to--to--to turn into some kind of Proudman-palooza,

and I knew if I called you, we'd end up hashing over everything, so...

We don't even have to talk about it.

I'm just... happy to see you.

Wanna hear about it? 'Cause I've snuck out, gone off-road.

-We can talk about it here. -Yep. Yeah, I do. Yep.

Of course. Just... Sorry, sorry.

Are you okay?

Not really.

Was it the Pete guy?

[sad music]

Yes.

[sniffs]

-Is it on going? -[sniffs]

I haven't spoken to him in years. It was just this stupid...

terrible one-off.

He just listened.

And he asked questions.

So how did it start?

You know I didn't plan it, Mick. I didn't plan it.

Have you had sex with him since then?

No. No.

-When did you decide you were-- -Didn't decide in advance. It was--

Did you...

Were you safe?

And then it was like a switch went off.

You had unprotected sex with this guy?

A former drug addict?

I wasn't--

I--I was all over the place. I was...

apologizing and crying and... and blurting it all out.

Don't touch me!

[Mick sniffs]

So, who knows?

Nina? Patrick? Who else?

-No one else. -Ange?

I don't want your whole family weighing in on this.

-Okay? -Okay.

Whatever you want.

I'll do whatever you want.

And since then, it's been like, we've been living some...

weird kind of zombie life.

Just existing,

but not talking...

with this...

this massive thing hanging over us.

Well, there was with this weird window when Jimmy came around.

Mm...

For two hours, we went back to normal.

-[Billie] You're gonna win! -Gonna love it.

[Billie] Alfie was really giggly and...

And so we were filming him and--and and trying to make him laugh

and Mick was singing to him.

♪ If you're happy and you know it ♪

-♪ Clap your hands ♪ -Yay, yay!

[laughs]

But then Jimmy left and it was... back to Silence-ville.

He's not like a Proudman, Nins.

He doesn't vomit his dramas over everyone, but I think that...

that...

maybe if he has some time...

to just...

process it alone...

you know, maybe in time...

he'll...

Come good?

Does that sound stupid?

No.

Maybe.

I really hope so.

I'm serious, Nins. Tomorrow at Mom's, you have to keep it tight.

-Okay? No blurting. -Okay.

-Patrick too. -Yep.

Okay. 'Cause you've had a bad run at this.

Do I need to put massive pressure on you or will that make it worse?

Probably make it worse. Too much pressure.

Okay.

Just as long as you remember that my marriage rests on this, Nins.

-That's pressure. -Okay.

-Just, it is everything. -Pressure.

Okay.

[soothing music]

Make this pretty while daddy does the lamb.

-[exhales deeply] -[Jimmy snickers]

God. Geraldine, you look amazing.

Oh! [chuckles]

-You know what I have to say about that? -About what?

Beauty. Here's my theory--

[Jimmy] Oh, important note about Geraldine Day.

Mom decrees that on this day, every time she imparts wisdom,

no one talks back to her.

-Is that right? -Yes, that's right.

-Beauty... -[Alfie squealing]

...is fine. It can be fun, it can be sexy.

But, Zara, ultimately, it's for the self.

Not for society and not for any man.

[quietly] Is there a particular way I should respond?

I normally offer "Thanks for the insight."

Thank you for the insight.

Oh! You're welcome.

[cell phone rings]

Hello.

Did you just group-text me and Joseph?

Uh, yeah. Sorry for the late notice.

Since when do you group-text us? I am the sister!

I am the manager of contact with Joseph.

Calm down. Can you make it?

[sighs] Probably not. No.

-Is everything all right? -Oh, Joseph's just...

Oh, don't worry about it. It's stupid.

-You had a fight? -He wants to move in.

Like, already.

Well, you have been together half a year, Kate.

Oh, well, it was the way that he said it.

It was just this really abrupt ultimatum thing.

He was just like-- [sighs]

He was just all, "Argh! Let's move in!"

Ah, what an arsehole.

Patrick, memo, you're on my side.

Oh, yeah, I seem to recall, you giving me a serve for, um...

What was it? Oh, yeah, pushing away fabulous women.

-Who's pushing away who? -Not Kate and the strapping cyclist?

-What? -Who are those people?

It's, uh, Kim and Clegg. They seem concerned.

Clegg met Joseph for two seconds.

And Kim, I don't think she's ever even met him.

[heavy sighs] Kate, it's Martin Clegg.

Oh, my God.

To find someone who embraces one's eccentricities,

who embodies both wisdom and innocence is a rare gift.

Easily squandered, yes, but--

[dial tone]

Nope, she's hung up on me. [clears throat]

Know what time you should finish up?

Oh, well, we're up first, so it shouldn't be too late.

Well, um... I told Mom you've got a gig, so...

see how you feel.

You've got a get-out-of-jail-free card.

Tell me honestly, do they all know?

No.

Only Nina and Patrick.

Yeah, well, I'll see how I'm going.

[melancholic music]

Bye.

Wow. Not long now, is it?

No, it isn't. [chuckles]

A bit terrifying, really.

-When's the actual date? -The 12th.

Wow. Well, you look wonderful.

[both] Oh...

So how have the past couple of weeks been for you guys?

-Yeah, pretty good. -Uh, I became a... controlling arsehole.

-Well, I never put it like that. -Controlling arsehole?

Oh, a couple of things happened. We had a bit of a scare with the baby.

-Oh, no. -[Nina] No, it's fine. It's fine.

-It's all fine. -Yeah, just brought up some...

-Yeah, of course. -And then after that, I just,

you know, wanted both of us to stop work, stop everything.

Just bunker down at home and--and uh, not take any risks.

It was completely irrational, but...

Well, a perfectly understandable reaction.

-[phone rings] -Oh, sorry.

-That's all right. -[Patrick chuckles]

Oh, sorry. I'm switching it on silent.

And other factor was, um... [clicks tongue]

-...that. -[Nina sighs]

You've called Nina. Leave me a message after the beep.

Darling, it's Mom. Just wondering how far away you are.

If you get a chance, could you pick me up some ice--

-[phone beeps] -Oh, someone on the other line. Is it you?

-Yep, I think it's you. -[Patrick] Nina's family.

We've been kind of under siege.

Oh, I don't know if I'd describe it as being under siege.

-Darling? -[Nina] It has been a pretty manic period.

-Even by their standards. -Nina?

I understand that's the way it's always gonna be.

-Patrick? -I would've thought,

given how close Nina is to giving birth, they'd be scaling it back a bit.

Uh, darling, I think you've called me by mistake.

They are... to a certain extent.

How are they scaling it back?

Billie at the moment? And your mother? Jesus.

What's going on? Pocket call?

[Lawrence] Was there issue with your mother?

Oh, look, there's always something.

It's funny, we haven't tended to discuss your mother much.

[Nina] Well, no. Well, that's because...

that's a whole other rabbit hole.

Are you reluctant to talk about her?

No. No, no.

That's a lot of nos.

-Who is this man with the clipped vowels? -[turns on speakerphone]

[Nina] Look, it used to be my father who inflicted his mess on the family.

-That is Nina, you drunkard. -Not her, the man!

Gone out of her way to make things... complicated.

Complicated in... in what way?

Oh, God. It's a counsellor, isn't it? This is counseling.

-[Nina] Mainly-- -[Patrick] Her sex life.

[Nina] Oh!

Mom, I really don't think you should--

-Oi! Mom! -[door slams]

Oh!

[whispering] He's down, finally.

What are you doing?

Moral dilemma.

Nina's pocket-called Mom from a counselling session.

Nina's in counselling?

And Mom's currently listening to the whole session.

-She's locked herself in the bathroom. -That is appalling.

It is, isn't it?

She should absolutely bring it out here.

Mom!

[Nina] She used to be the stable one.

[Jimmy] Mom, Zara agrees you're being very morally dubious.

-[shushes] -[whispering] It's Geraldine Day.

I actually used to think of her as the moral compass in the family.

[Zara] Geraldine, the call has actually come through the home line,

therefore, it technically belongs to all of the residents. Fair's fair.

And then, a few years ago,

my--my dad... announced he was having a baby with a nurse from my work.

Oh! My age.

And, you know, ever since then,

Mom seems to have gradually gone off the deep end.

In what way?

-inhales deeply] -Sex and drugs.

[Lawrence chuckles] No, but seriously.

[Patrick] No, I'm serious.

Well, she might have always just been that way and... hidden it.

You seem more baffled than troubled by it, Nina.

Well, it's... it's just exhausting.

I don't think it's damaged any of us or anything.

-[Patrick] You reckon? -[Nina] What, you think I seem damaged?

Well, maybe not you, but I think it's fair to say...

your siblings have inherited some of her behavior.

What?

Well, you seem to be the only one with a stable sex life.

-What... Oh, you mean Billie? -[Patrick] And Jimmy and Zara.

Perhaps if we play the music so loud, she can't hear, it'll smoke her out.

I am morally troubled on several fronts.

-Gotta do something. It's ridiculous. -Not this.

-Jimmy. Hello, Zara. -Hi.

Where's your mother?

-Everything all right? -It's complicated.

Geraldine engaging in something I'll find confronting?

-Possibly. -Geraldine is listening

to an unintentional phone call from Nina, who's in counselling with Patrick.

-Sorry, I don't understand. -An open relationship?

-Oh. -What?

Oh, God, Phillip. Why are you here early?

I'm not early. I'm punctual.

Oh.

As a matter of fact, I'm two minutes late.

[Nina] Not that I'm judging them. I'm not judging.

Is that... Nina?

Phi--Phillip, why don't you just grab a drink

go out into the garden, we'll join you in a second--

[turns on speakerphone]

[Nina] Maybe they think it's fun and empowering.

I don't know.

I do think it's a bit naive.

I'm sure it's fun for Zara.

[Nina] I'm pretty sure Jimmy's on board with it.

In fact, I think he was the originator of the idea.

[Patrick] Well... he looked uneasy when he came round the other night.

-When was that? -[Patrick] It was a good idea at the time,

-but the reality of it was killing him. -What?

No. Yes... I don't know.

[Nina] She--she is smarter about these things.

-[Patrick] Just smarter in general. -Look, I'm very sorry,

but if this is a private conversation,

-then I strongly feel-- -[shushes] We'll debate this later.

How--how would you--you feel if someone was eavesdropping on your conversation?

I object.

-Nina! I am compelled to declare that-- -Please! Please. It's on mute.

-[Phillip] Oh. -[Nina] Whatever.

They're really not hurting anyone.

With Mom...

it's honestly like every time she chooses a sexual partner,

it's the most... damaging and--and--

difficult option she can possibly find.

[Lawrence] Well, in what sense?

Well, uh, the first hook-up we're aware of

was Jimmy's history teacher, Mr. Soriel.

Then... Oh, no, no, actually--

First, Ray's naming ceremony,

She picked up some 15-year-old off RSVP.

You know, Phillip's right. This is a private conversation.

Actually, no, there are moral shades of grey here.

[Nina] Then Phil D'Arabont, my father's business rival,

his arch nemesis.

Literally, the person he hated most in the world.

And--and then, Phil Noonan, my biological father.

It's like this pattern of revenge sex.

Oh, please!

When she slept with Phillip, it was so dangerous,

so dangerous, because he was so in love with her...

and it was so obvious she didn't love him.

She didn't particularly even care about him.

Now she's gotten sick of him and--

No, that's not... It's not... It's not true!

Now she's gonna sleep with the next person and I'm sure it's gonna be

the most ridiculous option possible.

Another doctor at Phillip's clinic, possibly.

-Or Clegg. -This is ridiculous!

Whoa, whoa, whoa!

And believe it or not, this is only a second-tier family problem at the moment.

This is just the low-maintenance issue.

-There's worse? -Oh...

Nina's sister cheated on her husband and we're the only ones who know.

It's almost like you feel responsible for your sister's actions, Nina.

I do a bit.

I just know how hard it's been for her recently.

And a huge part of that is...

that I'm pregnant.

But you can't think that you being pregnant

made your sister cheat on her husband.

No, but I do think her cheating on him was about her feeling shit about herself.

[Nina] I don't think she would feel that way if all this wasn't happening.

-[Billie] Hello? -Kill it! Kill it!

-Ow! -Oh!

Zara, sorry, but you held on!

Would you just turn it off speaker?!

[Nina] I don't think it had anything to do with Mick.

She loves Mick.

[Patrick] She's in the situation because she made a string of bad decisions.

-What's going on? -[Patrick] You can't feel responsible.

What's this?

-You cheated on Mick? -Jimmy!

[Billie] What?

Nina's in counselling and she accidentally pocket-called the house.

What? Get-- Move, move, move!

[Nina] Things get worse before they got better.

Nina, your phone is on! You're pocket-calling!

-It's muted. -[turns off speaker]

Nina, your phone's on! You're pocket-calling!

Did you hear some--something?

-No. No. It's n--nothing. Sorry. -Mm-hm.

[panting]

-When did all this happen? -Now, look,

let's all just... sit down and have a drink.

What exactly did she say?

Well, she accused me of being on a sex rampage.

She said that I'm naive and Zara's manipulating me.

I'm smarter than you, though there was an implication of manipulation.

Wha--what did she say about me?

She said...

you cheated on Mick...

and they're the only ones who know.

Does Mick even know?

Yes! He...

Yes.

But we're dealing with it.

[despondent music]

[Geraldine] Oh, it's all very well to be wise after the fact.

-[Phillip] I was wise before-- -Please, don't call Mick.

Just let us--

-Oh, God! What, you have already? -No.

But I... did send him a text message.

I--I--It didn't say much, just that I'd be there for him.

You said he already knew.

Very happy with that, thank you.

So, just after the show,

we've got some Bayside FM competition winners coming backstage.

-Yep. -You happy to meet with them immediately

-or would you prefer... -It'll be fine. Mick?

-You want to... -Yeah, sure.

Look, it's just a quick photo opportunity, possibly some autograph signing,

but no more than six people.

Ye--yep, that's fine.

Everything all right?

Yeah, it's just...

It's nothing.

[phone rings]

Get it.

-Do you want me to leave? -No.

I think my marriage is falling apart.

What?

Billie slept with some other guy.

[Mick sighs]

And it's not even the cheating.

Six months ago, Billie would never have done something like this.

It's like I don't even know her.

You know, the whole thing with the business--

Yeah, the business. But you know what the really fucked thing is?

Us... doing well. That's been even harder for her.

-No. -I don't know.

Maybe she only married me because I used to make her look good, now--

[growls] Fuck it!

I don't mean any of this. Just ignore me.

So, perhaps that's a good plan.

Now, when you leave work, look at that as a transition

with your family as well

and maybe set some parameters and stick to them.

-Um, not answering phone calls at night. -Yes, please.

You know, I'm not saying that you need to make any kind of declaration that,

"I'm taking a step back." But, of course, there'll be so many changes

-in your behavior that their-- -Billie!

-Is everything all right? -Where's your phone?

-What? -Where is your phone?

Oh.

You pocket-called Mom's house!

You pocket-called. They know everything!

Oh, my God.

Everything about me and Mick! Everything!

All right, can we please just calm down--

Well, did she--she tell you in her big family history,

did she tell you that she slept with my husband?

-Or did she leave that bit out? -Hey, Billie?

Or him! Did he tell you that he slept with eight gazillion people!

He can't remember all the people. Probably slept with my husband too!

And did she tell you that she only comes here

because she thinks you're hot?

She's not some deep, analytical woman. She just wants to perv.

[inhales deeply] Billie.

Sorry, mate.

Billie, wait.

'Cause I didn't-- I had no idea. Wait. Stop.

-Nina! -Please, stop.

-Billie, stop. -Nina, Nina. Hey, wait. Hey.

Oh, God! What were we talking about?

-Oh, 27 minutes! -Hey. No! No!

-Billie. -Nina, just catch your breath.

-My chest. -You need to catch your breath.

-Just breathe, okay? -[panting]

["Masquerade" by Colorstarr playing]

-[woman] Sorry, this is access only. -Um...

You a competition winner? Bayside FM?

Um, no. He's my husband. Mick Holland's my husband.

I'm his wife. I'm Mick Holland's wife.

Just one minute.

♪ I saw you at the masquerade ♪

So, does everybody know or just Jimmy?

It wasn't me, Mick.

Nina accidentally made a phone call from her counselling session.

Dad doesn't know.

If that's any consolation.

I'll--I'll tell them to lay off and they will. They'll give us space.

-If that's what you want. -I don't know what I want.

-Do you need me to give you space? -I don't know, I...

I need you to stop asking me. You keep asking me all these questions.

-You're the one making the decisions here. -I--I--I'm not.

You are.

You know, my position was clear, I was committed to you.

You know, I thought, no matter what was thrown at us,

we'd always fight for the relationship, but you made a different decision.

I didn't-- I didn't make a decision.

Well, something changed.

And it changed with you, not with me, so stop looking at me for answers,

'cause I don't have any!

I am so sorry but they need you in there for four minutes.

Do you want me to tell them to wait or what?

Go.

I--I--I'll get him right back out, Billie.

I'm so sorry.

This is absolutely none of my business.

-Could you tell him that I had to go? -Wait--wait... Billie?

-Should I tell him you're at home? -No.

Billie... where should I tell him you've gone?

Billie!

-♪ And if you push me down ♪ -Billie!

♪ Push me down ♪

[Geraldine] No, that wasn't Nina. It was Patrick.

As if Patrick can lecture anyone about drug use.

Hello?

H--Happy... Geraldine Day.

Oh! Frankly, I don't know where to begin.

None of us do.

So, we drew up a list of bullet points.

Some are questions, some are responses.

I don't think we need to trawl through everything--

Oh, I think we do.

Yes, I have been quite sexually active in recent years. I make no apology.

To imply it's some sort of a weapon is frankly offensive.

And an open relationship was both our idea, mine and Zara's together.

And I am not smarter than Jimmy.

No, it's okay. You are.

-No, Jimmy-- -No, you are.

But I like that she is.

I am mortified... that you heard all that.

All I can say is that--

Did it ever occur to you that it's probably not okay

to listen to a private counselling session?

-I don't like counselling! -Okay, whatever was said,

I don't think any of you can seriously doubt

how much Nina cares about all of you.

She cares for this family in a way that's...

it's pretty extraordinary.

I, for one, am mortified that we listened to your call.

In fact, I'm... disgusted with myself.

Yeah, me too.

I'm not particularly sorry.

But then, I'm not particularly offended either.

I'm quite offended.

But I think the most important thing is that you find your sister.

["Flaws" by Jesse Davidson playing]

Um, could I have a Russian vodka, straight with two ice cubes.

That'll be ten dollars.

[indistinct chattering]

[phone rings]

For fuck's sake.

Billie?

It's Eloise. I... don't know if you remember.

Oh. Yeah, hi.

Is everything okay?

Yep, yep. I'm fine.

Should I call Nina?

Nina is quite possibly the last person

that I want to see at the moment...

on planet earth.

Just a second.

Should I...

buy you a drink?

Yeah, that-- that you could do. Yep.

She's gonna get it.

-Billie? -[door slams]

Billie?

Billie?

Thanks.

You didn't blow off your date?

It was actually a pretty terrible date, so...

you kind of saved me.

-Cheers. -Hang on.

You're not trying to get me drunk

so that you can have twisted, "almost Nina" sex, are you?

No.

Cheers. Thank you.

[phone rings]

Are you finding that too...

sexually stimulating, to see her name?

Sorry. I'm teasing. Please don't stop buying me drinks.

Can we have a rule?

No more Nina talk.

Yeah, absolutely.

What you doin'?

I guess, I'll just wait here.

Keep calling.

It just feels like...

everyone around me is so confident

and outgoing and funny.

And sometimes, I don't know how to act.

Well, all the best people are losers when they're young.

Nina--

[whispers] Nina...

when she was your age, she was, like, this...

needy bookworm.

And Mick, my husband...

I didn't even wanna be with him. Like, he was...

He had no motivation,

no money, terrible hair,

and now he has all those things.

Even good hair.

He's the love of my life...

and I fucked it up.

[sobbing]

[phone ringing]

She must be pretty worried about you.

Can I at least tell her you're okay?

Okay.

Billie! Oh, God, I'm so happy you answered!

[Eloise] Oh, no. I--It's actually Eloise.

Sorry?

I--I'm here with Billie.

I ran into her randomly at a bar.

Oh, she's... They're at a bar.

Which bar?

She's pretty upset.

Oh. No, no, Billie's fine.

She's even giving me life advice.

So, you don't need to come here.

In fact, maybe you shouldn't.

Can--can I at least speak to her, please?

Uh...

-Nins. -Billie, I'm...

I'm so sorry about that call.

It was an accident.

An awful accident

and I feel terrible.

Yeah, well... the damage is done now.

What?

Wi--with Mick?

Billie... please, I--

Just talk to me.

I--I mean, can--can we go back to my place--

Sorry, I can't.

I wanted to be there with you and I wanted to--to go through it with you.

But I can't.

[dial tone]

Billie?

Alas, I think the lamb has expired.

Mm.

-[sobbing] -[clatter in kitchen]

Geraldine...

whatever Nina may have said in that... call,

I know she adores you.

-And she would ne-- -It's not about Nina.

We--well, it is.

But also...

it's you.

You heard the most horrific things about me today and yet,

still, here you are, Glad-wrapping.

Should I stop?

Nina may have been right, I may have started this for the wrong reasons.

[sighs] But then, I...

I found myself with someone who actually...

is devoted to me.

Then I realized, I've grown quite accustomed to it.

I love it.

And Phillip...

[sighs]

...I do love you.

Well, regretfully I am...

seeing someone else.

I'm sorry Geraldine.

[despondent music]

[sobbing]

[Billie] ...the key to success, in a lot of ways.

-Cheers. -[Ange] Sorry, sorry, sorry.

-I only just got the messages. So sorry. -[squealing]

Whoa! Hi!

-Okay. Whoa! Hi. -Hello.

-Hi. I'm Ange. -[Billie] This is Eloise.

Eloise has been so nice to me.

-Oh. -She's so nice.

She might be a lesbian. Maybe.

Right. Cool. Who needs definitions, eh?

I know. And I think that's been my problem 'cause I was born too early.

I actually feel more with you guys. You know?

Generation whatever you are? When were you born?

Um, '87.

-Uh, '88. -No, seriously, when were you born?

Oh, fuck you both!

-Come on! Um... Let's head back to mine. -What?

Come on. Let's go.

Eloise? Thank you very much.

That's okay. Thanks for the... the talk.

Whoa! Uh, right.

Yep, okay.

Um, I guess that's happened.

Uh, right.

Shh. Don't tell Nina.

[giggles] No!

It was pretty good.

-[Billie] Don't you get ideas. -[Ange] Oh, I won't.

You all right?

Yeah, I've got restless leg... again.

Hey.

[Nina] Mm, I'm sorry. I'm...

-It burns if I don't keep moving it. -Yeah.

How am I gonna do this without my sister?

["Watch the Breezes" by San Mei playing]

I'm gonna take longer off work.

I thought I could only afford a month.

But, fuck it. I mean, if we get in debt, we get in debt.

I'm gonna be here.

♪ So run with the wild ones ♪

♪ Run from the tidal waves ♪

I'm gonna turn this off.

Take the battery out too.

Disassemble it completely.

Bury it.

Drop it in molten lava.

♪ Breathe here and see what dreams made of ♪

♪ While we dream here and watch the breezes, oh ♪

♪ Mm-mm Mm-mm Mm-mm Mm-mm ♪♪
