Patrick moment?

I can spot them now.

Zara Perkich, will you marry me?

Oh...

Yes.

I'm seeing someone else.

Her name’s Mimi.

She's a manager.

I am so sad.

I know.

I’m just so sad.

[upbeat music]

[Kellee] So glad you could make it.

Congratulations! You've had a baby!

-Yeah. -Oh, talk about the perfect couple.

And both doctors!

You win!

-Yay! -[all laugh]

Nina, why are you wearing your school uniform?

-[gasping] -[Billie] Nina?

There's another email about the reunion.

[Nina] Cue the therapeutic laugh.

[Billie laughs]

No, I'm telling them we're not going.

[phone typing]

Well, I think we should go.

Why?

[Nina] It's a positive step

for both of us to take.

Why did you make me go to this stupid reunion?

[screaming]

[crashing]

[Billie] I'm taking Zoe to the pool.

Oh?

-Gorgeous. -[camera clicks]

Can I come?

[door creaks shut]

-I'll just-- -[shoes clacking]

If we go to the reunion together--

Are we still talking about this?

It's a-- It's a strong thing to do.

Nins, think it through. For you, there'll be all these people

asking about Patrick.

You'll go to pieces.

No, I'm--I'm doing-- I'm doing fine.

-Here, can I-- -I've got her.

And--and, for me,

it'll be confirming that,

yes, you know, several weeks ago,

my marriage ended.

[Billie laughs]

So, you'll be sobbing about Patrick,

and I'll be throwing chairs.

[Billie] Or we just avoid the whole horror,

and not go.

Just-- I think going to the reunion

is proactive.

It's saying, yes,

-these things have happened to us -[Zoe cries]

-but we haven't let them beat us. -Nah,

vest full of emotional dynamite.

Don't strap yourself in.

Just laugh it out with me.

[laughing]

Come on, it releases endorphins.

[laughing]

[Nina] Billie, I--I know

it hasn't been easy since Mick

-and you... -Broke up. You can say it.

And, no, it hasn't been.

You know, so many unanswered questions.

Every morning, I have to talk myself down before losing it.

Just buckling and doing something self-destructive.

Just one moment.

-Can I help you? -Um...

'Cause you've been standing there for awhile.

Are you all right? Or is that a hobby of yours?

Standing there all...

tall and wet in bathers.

-[Billie] Holding a baby. -Oh, Billie. [feigned chuckle]

I think that's my towel.

No, that's her towel.

No, it's-- Pretty sure it's mine.

Saw you pick it up.

Oh. Sorry.

No, it's--it's not mine.

Uh, sorry.

-It's okay. -Here.

No, it's wet.

Um, have--ha--have mine.

[Nina laughs]

-It's okay. -No, it's okay, because I--

I can take it home and wash it.

Really, it's fine.

Rocco and I can share.

[chuckles] Well, you can't share that little thi

It's tiny and you're--

Size of a mountain.

-Don't insult him. -That wasn't an insult.

-Are you insulted? -No.

I am the size of a mountain, after all.

Just give him back his towel.

[Nina] Sorry.

Cheerio. [laughs dryly]

[Thomas] See ya.

Very handsome.

[phone beeps]

Email about the reunion.

Nah, see, persistent.

But you're still not going.

-[elevator dings] -[Zara] Why are you and Billie

going to the same reunion?

[Nina] Uh, Billie was held back to repeat a year.

[Zara] I thought you were two years apart.

I was accelerated a year.

Oh.

We were in the same class just for three months.

Yeah.

Was that about the time that Billie went to juvie?

Yes.

So the outcome of putting the two of you in the same class

is that Billie became a delinquent.

Wha--We just had different ways of coping.

-Greetings. -Last day.

-Aw. -I should just point out

that they are actually pastries of mourning.

[Martin] Indeed. It's always a sad

but joyful day when one of my staff

leaves to attend to the spawn of her own fertile waters.

Yup. I'm not sure about maternity leave,

but I am glad that I am 37 weeks and safe.

Hm.

-Why didn't I get one of those? -They're from you.

Hm. Invite cards. "Save the dates"

for your impending nuptials.

Hm! Fancy.

Jimmy's been doing all of the wedding stuff.

Well, it looks like he's doing a fantastic job.

-Indeed. Hm. -Yeah.

Oh, hey, some girl, Kellee,

called about your school reunion?

Oh, thank you.

Your high school reunion?

Mm-hm.

Twenty years. [scoffs]

[Nina chuckles]

[comical music]

I'm just gonna start my rounds.

[water running]

-Hidey ho. -Hello.

So you're planning to attend your high school reunion.

Yes, that's right. [Martin laughs]

I would urge you not to.

I'm fine. It's--it's fine.

Why does everybody think otherwise?

Because your default setting

is to say you're coping when you're not.

I am coping, in this case.

Well, aside from which, it's bound to be provocative.

A bunch of people that you used to know

commenting on your private life.

So you were married, but then, he tried to blow you up.

So your real father was your mother's GP?

You're an obstetrician and you got accidentally pregnant.

Are you serious?

You don't have to wrap me in cotton wool, Martin.

-[phone buzzing] -I'm a big girl, I can take it.

-Uh, phone. -[buzzing continues]

-Oh. -[Martin] Yep, uh...

-Can you? Sorry. -[Martin grunting]

[exhales]

Hello? [clears throat] Dr. Proudman's phone.

Kellee! High school Kellee.

Uh, no, unfortunately,

Nina won't be able to attend tonight.

-She's working. -No, no, no.

What are you doing? I'm not!

She's on call.

I'm--Give it here! [grunts]

-She's busy. -Stop it. Give it here.

Please hold. What now?

Just, uh, put it on speakerphone, don't do that.

-Do it. -[Martin grumbles]

-Kellee? -He--hello, Nina?

-Hi, sorry, I'm just-- I'm at work. -Oh, yes.

Oh, no, no, no. I'm sorry to hound you.

Um, are you still on

for the reunion tonight?

Yes, I'm looking forward to it.

[Kellee] Oh, fantastic.

And Billie too?

Yes, yup. Billie too.

She's also excited.

[Kellee] Oh, great, great.

Look, um, I hate to ask, but there are a few bits

of talking tonight, just reading out apologies and stuff.

And I thought, who better to ask

than debating champion, Nina Proudman.

Oh, well, I'm--I'm very flattered.

[whispers] No.

Yes, I would love to do that. Thank you.

Beautiful. That's great.

Um, all right, well, I can't wait to see you.

-Bye! -Yeah, me too. Bye!

[beeps]

If you're going, maybe I should go with you.

Oh, Martin, thanks. That's very nice

of you to be concerned, but, really, it's not necessary.

I mean, I could shift some appointments, so we could--

Stop mollycoddling me, Martin!

I don't want it, and I don't need it.

Back off.

I'm sorry.

Well, it's all right, I apologize.

Have fun.

So, what do you think?

-Are we nearly there? -[Billie] Yeah, yeah,

-just get rid of the fake fruit. -How do you know it's fake?

Ange, even from here, I can see it's fake.

[Billie] Well, well, hey, what's--what's that?

-What? -[Billie] Uh, pan back.

Back--back.

-Co--closer. What is that? A duck? -[Ange] I thought it was cool.

-Is it not cool? -No. Lose it.

You know, this would be a lot easier if you were here.

All right, you know I can't do that.

Surely, six weeks of Lawrence quarantine is enough.

How long are you gonna avoid him for?

No, the fight or flight chemicals

are still triggering in my body.

If it comes down to it, you might have to do the auction without me.

How's the storage sort-out going?

[inhales deeply]

Mm-hm.

Yeah, I've got three piles.

-Mine, -[door thuds close]

Mick's, and things for charity.

[Lawrence] Is that Billie?

Tell her I say, "Hi."

Oh, um, Lawrence says, "Hi."

[Billie] Okay, uh, tell him, "Good morning."

Or afternoon. It's afternoon.

Uh, Billie says, "Hi."

-May I? -[Billie] Okay, gotta go.

Be well.

-[phone thumps] -[sighs]

[fake laughing]

-[Kim] You heading off? -Yep.

[In French] [Martin] En garde!

[Elvis] What is wrong with you?

[In French] [Martin] Touche.

-Arrivederci. -Evening.

Have fun.

-What? -Zara.

-Yes? -Okay, so...

We're on our break...

Do you think it's weird that I'm getting married?

I mean, obviously, it's weird that you can't.

-Yeah, obviously. We both know that. -Yeah.

But what's weird

is that right before he asked you,

you outlined a bunch of reasons why you didn't want to.

Well, you were there egging me on.

When the guy's breakdancing and making a dick of himself,

you can't exactly say no. [laughing]

Besides, I thought you'd come around to the idea.

Oh, you don't think she's--

I do think. That's what I think.

I think she's looking for a way out.

He--hey!

Hey!

-What you got there? -Taste bottle for the wedding.

Oi, what's the deal with Billie? She's been here for like two hours,

giving away all her possessions and doing this whole soccer mom thing

[Billie] Any of these things. There's a varied assortment

-and a range of quality. -[Geraldine] Oh!

No, really, if no one wants these stu I'm just gonna turf it. [laughs]

Hi!

Uh, these--these DVDs and these CDs,

I can't remember if they're mine or they're Mick's.

Does anyone want them?

Oh, well, those-- those are mine.

-Can I take Zoe? -Oh, no, she's happy.

-[Nina sighs] -Hey, what about these things?

Anyone?

-Vino? -Please.

Uh, no, thanks. I'm trying to stay alkaline.

Oh!

What are you cooking, Zara?

It smells great.

-Salad. -[Nina] Oh, well,

it looks delicious.

-[Nina] Hi. -Hi.

Zara?

You're not having doubts about marrying Jimmy, are you?

[Zara] If I seemed distracted,

it's just 'cause I'm on maternity leave.

Oh, sure.

But if you are having doubts,

it might be best to acknowledge them sooner rather than later.

Thank you for that advice.

Okay.

You're right. It's none of my business.

But Jimmy has been engaged before.

He really thought it was the real thing.

First of all,

don't ever compare me to her.

Second of all, don't ever compare me to her.

Compare you to who?

Just someone at work.

Hey did everybody get those "Save the date" cards?

Yes.

[Geraldine] Of my three children, Jimmy,

you're the one I least expected to be the marrying kind.

Save the date cards are a practical p of planning a wedding, mom.

A mother can be wrong.

Okay, um, look.

I realize that marriage is a sore point in this family,

but I actually wanna grab hold of the future.

I wanna gather the people that I love

and say, "Yes.

From this day forward, I'm this woman's husband

and she's my wife."

And then, one day, when we're old,

I wanna be able to look her in the eye

and know that I have given her the life that she wanted.

[Nina] That's nice, Jim.

Billie, I think we should go now.

-Where? -The reunion.

Let it go.

[Geraldine] Oh, it could be fun. Catch up with old friends,

let your hair down.

To all those school people, I'm the--the screw up

who dropped out and ended up in juvie.

And as the architect of the building that is my life,

I choose not to be that person.

Well, aren't you curious to see how everyone turned out?

For what it's worth, you can do that online.

A good social media stalking session

will give you everything you need.

I want to go.

I don't believe that.

[Nina] Well, it's--it's better than running away

and avoiding everything.

That's a stab at me.

She's stabbing at me.

No one's stabbing at anyone.

-We just have different coping-- -[Billie laughs]

We just have different coping mechanisms.

And I believe my way is less deluded.

[Nina] Oh, do you?

This ridiculous laughing is less deluded, is it?

It releases endorphins.

Endorphins. Okay. [scoffs]

So...

What about the way you've been with Zoe?

What about the way I've been with Zoe?

[Geraldine] Well, you have been a trifle, um,

-[clears throat] obsessed. -[Jimmy] Got it.

Check it out.

[Nina] Is that-- Is that my homepage?

-[Jimmy] Yeah, I--I know your passwor -What are these? What did--

How did these photos get on here?

Um, well, they're great-- they're great pictures

and you never post any. And I've tagged you on them.

Oh, no.

Uh, no, Billie, I'm not okay with this,

I'm really not okay with this.

Uh, okay. So I've overstepped the mark.

[Nina] She's having relationships with people I don't even know.

It's the internet.

She's a baby.

-It's not okay to post pictures of he -[fake laughing]

-Come on. You just feel a bit confuse -I'm not feeling upset. Just stop it!

[Nina] Oh, stop it, Billie!

Mick dumped you, it hurts.

But please don't use Zoe as a--

[box thumps]

[Nina] Oh, fucking gosh.

[Jimmy] That--that was a bit harsh.

["The Better Way" by Hill and the Sky Heroes playing]

[phone ringing]

[Billie] Hi, this is Billie Proudman from House Proud.

Leave your details and I will endeavor to reach out to y

[phone beeps]

[Patrick] Is Zoe at you mom's?

Yes.

Hello.

So we've got the place to ourselves.

Please don't seduce me.

It's just too tempting.

I'll be late.

That's not fair.

What?

Don't you wanna get on board?

You look amazing.

I'm going to get ready.

You're teasing me.

I'm not doing anything.

I'm just lying here.

You could join me.

[clattering]

I can't stay here for two hours

imagining you're here.

You just leave Zoe at your mom's

and we can make a night of it.

If you weren't looking for an excuse not to go,

you wouldn't be imagining me.

I said I'd go.

[drawer clacks]

[Rosanna] Hi.

-Oh, hi. -Hi.

Would I be able to come in?

Yeah.

[Billie] Thanks.

-Thanks. -[both laugh]

It's so nice to see you.

Oh, sorry, um, I haven't been in touch earlier.

-Just, I knew you were in the country -It's okay. You want a seat?

[Billie] Oh.

Suppose you haven't--

um, in fact, been waiting for me to call.

[laughs]

-Tea? -Thanks.

So how--how have you been?

Have you been okay with the--the jet lag?

-Yeah, fine. -[Billie] Yeah.

Um...

Yeah, I know it can be,

you know, a bit rough.

Billie,

I don't think we should talk about Mick.

I just want--

You and Mick, you were drawn to each other.

-You worked together. -Yeah.

But you resisted it.

At least, I--I believe that you resisted it.

Oh, we did.

And then Mimi comes along.

-So what--what's the difference? -Billie...

[Billie] No. Who is she? I mean--

What did--what did she do to get him?

-Is she irresistible? -No, I'm sorry. I'm not gonna do this

-You must have an opinion. -Yeah.

My opinion

is that torturing yourself is not gonna help.

All--all I have to go on is a phone call.

"I met someone."

What am I supposed to do with that?

Billie,

I don't think anything

that happened with Mimi was about you.

I'm his wife.

Sorry, I just--

I shouldn't-- I shouldn't have come. I'm sorry.

Sorry.

[lock clicks]

We have to have sex.

[feet stomping]

[engine rumbling]

[Nina] This doesn't have to be an ordeal.

You don't have to stay long.

Mingle, have a few laughs.

That's fine.

[car door clacks]

[quirky music]

Or you could go back home.

No, come on.

Now you're just an idiot, getting in and out of your car.

-[Thomas] Hi. -[Nina] Hello.

Oh!

Oh, I, I--I'm the pool woman.

[chuckles] The towel.

Yeah, I remember.

That's why I said "Hi."

-Nina. -Nina.

Thomas.

Or Tom.

Some people call me Tom,

but I don't like it, so...

-Why am I saying that? -Oh.

[chuckling] I get it.

My sister and my brother call me "Nins."

I do like it, but only from them.

If anyone else called me that,

it would be weird.

So you are Nina and I'm Thomas.

You heading out?

[Nina] Yes.

It's my wild night out.

My high school reunion.

Okay, sounds fun.

Hm... Hope so.

How about you?

Movies with the homies.

They're not homies.

More like a posse.

Well, I better go.

Yeah, of course.

Have fun at the reunion.

[chuckles] Roger that.

[comical music]

[guys chattering]

[Lawrence sighs] What's going on?

[Billie] I broke up with Mick.

Well, you know, he...

broke up with me.

When?

[Billie] It doesn't matter when.

I'm here to take you up on your offer.

[Lawrence laughs]

I don't think I ever offered you sex.

Come on.

We both know this...

You have certain desires and there's...

There's some kind of attraction between us.

Yeah, but you've been keeping away from me.

Yeah, because...

I broke up with Mick.

[laughs]

-No. -What?

Come on.

Billie, I don't wanna be part of your rebound.

Now, hang on. Switch off robo-counselor.

It's not allowed. And this--this isn't rebound.

Well, whatever it is,

I don't think I can participate.

[Billie] That's perverse!

First, you won't have sex with me because I'm married,

and now, you won't have sex with me because I'm single.

-Billie, it's-- -I--I haven't had sex with anyone

but myself in 218 days.

I'm pretty sure it's even longer for you.

-[Billie] Yeah? -[Lawrence chuckles]

So let's go.

No.

[whispers] Come on.

There's a time and a place for self-destructive sex.

This is it.

Come on, why can't you get on board?

Because I have feelings for you.

Great.

-And if we have sex right now-- -You'd enjoy it.

Uh, I would.

And then, tomorrow?

You'd hate yourself.

And then you wouldn't like me anymore, so...

-[phone ringing] -So no.

[ringing continues]

[sighs]

[Billie] Sorry, bye. [sobs]

[door slams]

[Billie] ...to reach out to you.

[phone beeps]

[Nina] Uh, sorry, I'm just--

I'm about to walk in to the reunion.

And I just--I just wanted to ring and tell you

that I--I just bumped into towel guy

from the pool. [chuckles]

Anyway, bye.

[Nina] This'll be fun, this'll be fun.

It will be fun.

[indistinct chattering]

[chattering continues]

[Kellee] Nina?

-Kellee, hi. -[Kellee] Hi.

[Nina] Oh. Oh, it's--

[In Indonesian] Selamat malam, Mr. Hasriadi.

I--I didn't realize

that teachers were coming tonight.

Selamat malam, Nina.

But I didn't come here as a teacher.

Oh.

-Oh! -Mm-hm.

When--when-- When did that happen?

When--Sorry to be rude.

Was that during school?

[Kellee] Hm. Final year.

We wanted to keep it secret. [laughs] I'm so glad you could make i

And I'm so sorry to hear about Patrick.

I just found out.

I feel terrible about asking you to speak tonight.

-If you wanna pike, I can-- -Oh, no. No, no.

That's fine. I'm fine.

My sincere condolences about your husband.

A brain tumor...

That's--that's so tragic.

No, it's, um, my partner.

And it was a subdural bleed.

Where--where is that?

It's in the brain.

-Uh, um... -[man] Smile.

-[Kellee] Oh. -[Mr. Hasriadi] Ah.

[laughs]

[man] Say, "chookie."

-Chookies. -Chookie.

-[camera clicks] -[Kellee] Oh...

I just blinked. It's gonna be hideous.

[Mr. Hasriadi] Um, you were saying, Nina?

What?

Oh, yes. Uh, Patrick

had a hemorrhage.

How does that happen?

Well, it--

It's a head injury.

He was-- He was crossing the road

and he was hit by a car.

Oh... [sighs]

Oh, I'm gonna get a drink.

Yeah, great.

-I'll... -[Kellee] Sure.

Welcome back.

[Billie] You--We--we need to unpack that.

If you think that will help.

Well, you--you're a counselor. That's your job.

I'm not your counselor.

I'm just a guy.

-Okay, I kissed you. -Yeah.

I messed around with your heart.

No, no.

-I destroyed any chance I had with yo -No.

[Billie] I threw myself at you for sex.

Then I kissed you. And what?

You're okay with that?

Yeah.

What are you?

What you're experiencing is extreme.

But the good part is that you're experiencing it. It is natural

Now you just have to let it run it's course.

And then what?

Then we'll see.

[calm music]

[sighs]

You should go now.

Well, just like that you're gonna kick me out?

Yeah.

Good night, Billie.

[acoustic music]

[Geraldine sighs]

[Jimmy] Are you going somewhere?

Cocktails and supper.

-[Jimmy] Is this a date, mother? -Yup.

With Girth?

Grant.

Grant?

This--this whole time I've been calling him Girth.

[scoffs]

[Jimmy] Before you go, um,

I need your opinion.

I've selected a few potential wedding locations.

-[Jimmy] Indoor. -[Geraldine] Mm-hm.

-[Jimmy] Outdoor. -[Geraldine] Mm-hm.

-Botanic gardens. -Mm-hm.

Bush.

-[Geraldine] Mm. -[Jimmy] Hey, baby.

-[Zara] Hey. -Well, if it's going to be outdoors,

you need to think about amenities, so people can, um, wash their hands,

and re-apply their tear-streaked makeup.

[Jimmy] You just want a dunny, so you can duck off for a spliff.

Night.

Have fun, mommy.

-[Zara] Night. -[Geraldine] Night.

Hey, hey, whoa, whoa, whoa are you all right?

-Yeah, yeah. Yeah. -Yeah.

Ah, huh.

Just imagine that I'm down on one kne

-Oh. -[chuckles]

Will you...

mortgage with me?

You wanna buy a house?

Yeah.

Wow, that's, um...

When?

As soon as possible.

Okay, um...

We--we might have to be a bit tighter

with the wedding, go--go low key, but--

Yeah.

Well, um... [clicks tongue]

You don't wanna get married, do you?

Jimmy, I--I--I--I--I...

want to want to marry you, I swear.

I asked you over a month ago and you said yes.

[Zara] And I have been trying

so hard. [stutters]

And I--I...

I could see how much you were into it.

And I thought if I just hang in there,

then I'm--I'm gonna end up wanting to.

But you don't.

So, the two of us

bound together with children and real estate.

Yes.

I wanna be tied to you forever

in financial debt.

Well, if you're happy to be committed to me, why not marry me?

Why do we need a document?

No, we don't, I guess.

Um, I'm not gonna force you to marry me.

Hey. Hey.

Please look at me.

What you were saying before

about wanting to offer me the life that I wanted,

the life with our children

and you and I, that we defined for ourselves,

that's the life that I want.

That's--That's what I want.

[Chantal] I'm so sorry about your husband.

[Nina] Thank you.

You know, I know how you feel. I do, I get it.

I lost...my cat.

-Your cat? -[Chantal] Mm-hm.

I mean, I know a cat is not a husband,

but, to me, he sort of was,

but for 17 years, he'd been my companion.

And I just wake up every day

and expect him to be there

on the end of the bed or scratching at the door.

But he's not.

He's just

not there.

Nina, can I have you for a minute?

Yes, sure.

[Vicki] Come over here.

She was talking about the cat again, wasn't she?

Mm-hm. [chuckles softly]

-[Vicki] Are you okay? -Yeah.

Yes. Yeah, I'm doing really well.

Taking things a day at a time.

Um...

Actually, you know, I can do with some advice.

For a while now, I've been having this discharge.

-Discharge? -[Vicki] Yeah.

It's just...

[whispering] there's quite a lot of it.

It doesn't smell.

And it's quite viscous.

Kind of whitish gray.

[Stephen] Yes.

I remember you. You were...

Billie's little sister.

Yes, that's me.

[Stephen] How is Billie?

She's good. She's--

Have you got a photo or picture of her on you?

Oh, yeah.

Yeah, I have got, uh...

Look.

See? [chuckles]

-How unreal. -Mm.

You know, she hasn't changed a bit.

Well, the rest of us just keeps getting older, don't we?

Or I am.

Sorry. I am.

I heard about your husband's stroke.

Oh, it wasn't a stroke.

It's an injury.

Are you hungry?

Do you...

Do you want the last one?

-No, thank you. -[Kellee] Sorry to interrupt.

Nina, we should probably get started.

-Yes. -Yeah. Good. Good.

Attention, everyone. A little bit of quiet.

-Oh, here are some cue cards... -[Nina] Okay.

[chuckles]

Well, it's--it's great to see

so many of you here tonight to celebrate

20 years since graduation.

[all cheering]

[Nina] These have been the years when we've shaped our careers.

Made our families.

It's exciting to be able to get together

and catch up with everyone's news.

Oh, as you'd be aware, there are few faces missing,

so please take the time to have a look at their emails.

And--and finally, Kellee,

for a bit of fun, [chuckles]

has arranged some awards.

We were just talking about some of the, um,

the crazy shit you used to do at stood high school, Billie.

When you took a photo of Red Jo's bit

-for giving you the detention. Yeah. -[Vicki] When you trashed the pool.

-Connie's crystal set. -And you burned the science lab.

You're a legend, I think.

-Yeah? -Yeah.

Hush, hush, there's--there's one more award

that we'd like to give.

-Oh. -Uh...

The final award for the most resilient graduate...

Oh, shit.

goes to Nina Proudman.

We all know about the difficult year you've had.

The tragic loss of your partner, Patrick.

So, on behalf of your fellow classmates,

I'd just like to say

congratulations on handling it with such strength and dignity

as you continue your amazing work at St. Francis

and raise your beautiful daughter, Zoe.

[cheering]

[all] Go, Nina!

[Nina] Thanks.

-[sobs] -Hey.

Drink.

I owe you an apology, Nina.

I--I thought you couldn't handle it, and I was wrong.

That was utterly incredible.

You held it together.

You were poised, you were gracious.

You know, and like you said, you are fine.

-[Billie] You're not fine. -Get me out of here.

-[Nina] Where are we? -[Billie] Don't talk.

Do you know why I trashed the bull that Easter?

Mom found dad in the back shed

with Mrs. Lowe from the bakery.

Hm.

Used to hate coming to the pool

and seeing all these perfect families.

[sighs]

Come on.

[metal clangs]

[water running]

You were right.

About what?

[Nina] I thought I could handle it.

I thought I could...

[blows raspberry]

They gave me an award...

for being a widow.

I spent the night

fact-checking Patrick's death.

They just reduced this man...

whom I adored...

into an...

anecdote.

And I--I kept saying,

"Um, I'm fine.

I'm fine."

Like a fucking caricature of myself.

And I'm not fine.

I'm not. I'm not fine.

I'm sick-- I'm sick of saying I'm fine.

I'm fucking angry!

I'm angry!

Fuck!

'Cause he's not here.

[Nina crying]

[crying continues]

I'm still imagining that he's alive.

I'm having fantasies

of what would it be like if he was he [sobbing]

-I know. -I don't wanna let go.

I just-- I don't wanna let him go.

[whimpers]

[Nina crying] Oh, God.

[sobs]

Billie.

I'm sorry.

I'm so grateful that you look after Zoe.

I'm so grateful that you look after me.

Oh, Nins.

Ah, you're right. I--I've

I've been clutching Zoe.

It's just--

You know, she's the one person who looks at me like I'm not a fuck-u

You know, to her, I'm this amazing person.

Yeah, you are her other parent.

I couldn't have done any of this without you.

How am I gonna get that stuff out of the water?

Nins, you know, you don't trash the place

and then tidy it up.

Kind of defeats the purpose.

The certificate's got my name on it.

[Billie] Oh, shit.

[Nina] Oh, we can probably just...

reach out and...

-[Nina] Just hold my hand. -[Billie] Yeah.

Oh.

-[Nina] Don't let go. -[Billie] No, I won't.

Oh, slipping.

No, no, you're not. Just, um, left.

What, your other left-- [bangs]

-Oh, shit, security. -[shouts]

-[splashes] -[Billie] Nins, get out.

-Get out. -Oh.

-Get out of the pool. -Where is it?

-[Nina] With--with my heels? -[Billie] Got it.

[Nina] My bag. Quick.

[Billie] Oh, bag.

-[Billie] Where's the car? -[Nina] Just around the corner.

Do you think maybe, I should go back to counseling?

[Billie] Maybe. But not with Lawrence.

[Nina] No, probably not.

Definitely not with Lawrence.

Why not?

I mean you-- you can find someone else.

What have you done?

I may have gone around his place, you know, looking for a relationship.

-Grief aggression. -[gasps]

Kissed him and told him that we had to have sex.

-Oh, my God. -No, we didn't.

'Cause he talked me out of it. Shit.

What?

Is that, um, handsome guy from the pool?

-[gasps] I have to hide. I have-- -What?

Ow!

-[Thomas] Hi, Nina. -[Nina] Oh, hello.

Thomas. Oh, hi, Thomas.

This is-- You remember my sister, Billie?

-Yeah. How you going? -Great.

How was the reunion?

A bit shit.

-How was your movie? -[Billie] How did you--

Oh, we just-- We bumped into each other

a little bit earlier.

Best part of the night for me.

I'm wet.

I've--I've been swimming in my clothes.

Well, I'd offer you a towel, but I'm all out.

[both laugh]

Okay.

Bye.

What was that?

It's just-- Don't take anything...

You guys just zoomed in on each other like there wasn't even me there.

[Nina] Shut up. Don't say another word.

[Billie] Oh, why not? 'Cause you like him.

-[Nina] Hush. -[Billie] What?

-[Nina] Oh, just shut up. -[Billie laughing]

Why not?
