Original subtitles

Are they suggesting a transplant?

No, you're not going to be the donor, because I am.

I have never loved you more.

Geraldine came through the surgery very well.

Did you get my message about dinner?

Oh, Thomas, sorry.

My nephew went into hospital yesterday.

I really need to focus on my family right now.

Was it good with Lawrence?

It was uncommonly good.

Knowing Patrick, and the kind of man he was,

I don't think he wanted you to say no to being happy.

I can't let you go.

I have to keep believing.

I'll never stop loving you.

I know I said that

I wasn't in a position to date, but maybe it's worth a try.

[cell phone rings]

-Billie. -Who's got a date tonight?

Oh, I'm not getting wound up.

[Billie] Well, you're meant to get excited, you got a date.

With a man.

[Nina] It's been scheduled and postponed for a month, so...

Well, that's what makes tonight so important, dates have a shelf life

Over the next few hours, you're gonna get a bit doubty.

You know, what if the sparkle's gone?

What if he meets the real me and goes running for the hills?

Those are my doubts.

No, happy thoughts. Happy thoughts.

Anyway, the thing is, you've been quite low-key about this Thomas thing

No, I haven't.

-Have--have I? -Nuh-uh, secretive.

Bordering on devious.

I just don't think I can go with any big reactions.

[Billie] Tonight, is a definite date. So, when I'm at mom's,

am I allowed to tell them?

No.

This is what I want.

Say nothing, but if it comes up,

you can be honest.

Mm-hm.

[Nina] Do you understand it's about keeping it casual?

Signify your understanding.

Though it'll hurt me to do so, I will try to follow that plan.

Bye, Billie.

[cell phone rings]

Hello.

[Billie] You've got a date tonight.

[Kim] Why would you give your psycho ex-girlfriend your work number?

[Leo] I didn't. But, oh, look, this is a hospital.

Maybe she picked up a phone book.

-[Nina] Everything okay here? -Yeah.

His psycho ex-girlfriend keeps calling

-and ass-brain here-- -Okay, she's not--

If you keep calling me "ass-brain," I'm gonna report you to my supervisor

I am your supervisor. And, according to me, you have an ass for a brain, s

-Very good. -[telephone rings]

-Leave it. -It's mine.

Robson Wing. Leo speaking.

-Is it her? It's her, isn't it? -[shushes]

Oh, great. Yes, send her up. Thanks.

Uh, Teegan Holmes.

-Uh, her husband's in Special Forces. -Special forces.

-[both] Afghanistan. -And she is in labor.

Everything's looking really good.

You're dilating fast.

Okay, Teegan, I'm just gonna take your pulse.

-[Teegan] Okay. -Okay, so, you just relax

just as--as much as you can.

Is there someone you'd like us to call, Teegan?

Someone you'd like to be here?

No, I don't-- I don't have anyone.

I thought Matt would be home by now, but, um...

Leo and I are gonna be right here.

[deep sighs]

[classical music]

-[Billie] Mom? -Oh, it's you.

-Are you all right? -Yes, yes, I'm great.

-You scared me. -Oh, darling, I'm fine.

No, you can't do that. You're recovering from major surgery.

-You can't do practical jokes. -I thought you were your father.

Are you pretending to be sick for dad?

No. Well, yes.

I'm letting him think my recovery's progressing slowly.

Do you know what his plans are? How long he's staying for?

No. Do you want him to stay?

No.

What am I gonna do with these albums?

They're just...

sit in boxes upstairs.

No one even looks at them.

Um, so, is--is Jimmy at home?

-Jimmy! -Zoe!

They've cocooned themselves in their room. I don't know why.

Oh, hello, darling.

-Billie Proudman. -[Billie] Hi.

-Hi. -Um, I've got this pig puzzle from Ni

Oh, thank you.

Can we have a word outside, please?

Please.

Mom says you've locked yourselves in your room. Is Alfie okay?

Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. He's a champion.

Um, Zara's keeping a close eye on him,

but he's storming, and he's like running around

and climbing all over things,

but we are trying to keep the living area clear for mom, though, so

-She says she's fine. -Yeah, I know, it's just--

It's--it's really full with all of us in it.

We--we just wanna give her some space.

-Hm. -[Jimmy] Yeah.

So, listen, um...

-about the taqueria. -Mm, yep.

I've got the napkins and the plates for the Carlton stand.

Jess and Sean are operating, I just need to get them the float

and I'm picking up the spare gas cylinder.

You've been incredible over this past month.

Oh, no. I--I've enjoyed it. You know, hopefully, I'm good at it.

Oh, Billie, you--you've been brilliant.

But Alfie's stable now

and we're getting back on our feet.

You don't need me anymore.

That's my responsibility.

Yeah. Yeah, of course. I mean, you're coming back.

You're not gonna need me anymore. Of course, you won't.

So, um, do you still want me to do it tonight?

-Hello. -Oh, shit, yeah.

-[Darcy] Pardon me. -Great, great.

-[Jimmy] Here we go. -[Billie] Really?

-This is what she does now? -[Jimmy] Mm-hm.

[sighs]

-Uh. -[Geraldine] Hi.

-[Darcy] Darling. -[groans]

-Dad. -Hey, sweetheart.

-I just got some things for your mom. -[Geraldine] Oh-oh.

-Oh, she's been so brave. -[Geraldine chuckling]

-[Darcy] So very, very brave. -[laughs]

So what have you got here, dad?

Uh, liver rejuvenating food stuff.

Organic kale.

A Chinese licorice root

from an apothecary in Healesville.

Oh, Inositol powder from Brighton.

You covered Greater Melbourne and the ranges beyond.

Oh, and I got you this.

Cicada shells to grind into your tea.

Oh, that's so nice of you, Darcy.

Were they expensive?

Yes.

I gotta go, busy.

I gotta call a sitter for Zoe.

-When for? -Oh, tonight. It has just been so fla

-and I forgot to call someone. -Well, I'll do it.

Well, I'd love to do it.

[laughs]

Come on, darling. How about that, eh?

[chortles] Puff.

[Zoe cries]

[Darcy] Come on, darling. [giggles]

Oh.

Stranger defense, huh? [chuckles]

Sorry, dad.

[Darcy] It's all right.

It's a wrinkle bit of a mystery.

Oh, it's not a mystery. She doesn't really know you.

She's seen me every other day this month.

Maybe she just doesn't like you.

-[Zoe cries loudly] -Hm.

Why do you need a sitter?

Is Nina busy tonight?

[cell phone ringing]

-Hi. -The Proudmans know about the date.

There is a general aura of happiness for you.

Cat's out of the bag,

so I urge you to consider how information flows from this house

to your place of work.

Yes, thank you for the heads up.

[Billie] Also, and FYI,

I haven't yet found a sitter for Zoe.

But I'm working on it. Don't worry about it.

Just proceed as per usual and leave it with me.

Goodbye now.

[phone beeps]

-[Nina] Hi, everyone. -[Leo] Hi.

I have something to tell you.

Could I have your attention, please?

[Nina] Pardon?

-[phone rings] -[Leo] Oh.

-[phone clanks] -[Leo] Robson Wing.

Yes, he's right here. Just a second.

Martin Clegg, PhD.

Uh. No.

Yeah.

Uh, goodbye.

[phone clanks]

I just agreed to babysit your daughter tonight.

-What? -Because you've got a date!

-Date? -No big reactions, please. [chuckles]

Yes, I do have a date tonight

with a man called Thomas.

I met him at the swimming pool.

He's a single parent too.

We bumped into each other a couple of times,

and then we got chatting.

He's very tall.

Like...

Anyway, we're gonna have dinner tonight

at a nice restaurant without our children.

I will take questions.

That's great!

Yeah, good on you.

Yes, good for you.

[Nina] Thanks.

That went well.

[cell phone rings]

-Hello. -[Thomas] Hi, it's me.

-Hello, you. -[Thomas] Um...

I'm really sorry, but Rocco has a temperature

and he's not settling.

Oh, oh!

[Thomas] Yeah, I'm not gonna be able to make it tonight.

Oh, no worries. I--I understand.

Yeah, I can't,

you know, just leave him, to take off.

No, of course not.

-[Thomas] I'm sorry. -It's okay.

And, um, I've been thinking.

I'm not really in a position to start anything.

Okay. Yeah. Sure.

Um, it's just--

No, I understand. You don't-- You don't have to explain.

[Thomas] I'm really sorry.

It's fine, really.

Yeah, we--

-[Nina] I should go. -Okay.

See--I'll see you.

[Nina] That's it. Date's off.

Whole things off.

Damn.

-Nina. -Yep.

[Leo] Uh, Teegan is getting close to the pushing stage.

Yes.

You okay?

Yeah. Yep.

-Let's go and be with Teegan. -[Leo] Great.

[Jimmy] It's good to get out of the house.

I was getting cabin fever in that room.

I don't think it's practical for us to keep hold up in there.

Your mother saved our son's life.

She gave him a part of her body.

I don't know how to be with her now.

You know, we're crowding her.

I wanna give her her life back.

[Jimmy] Yeah.

We still have our deposit.

We could start looking again for places to buy.

It's the least we can do.

-Isn't it? -Hm.

Oh, Alfie. Alfie.

Come here, honey.

No, no, no. Don't pick up that. Hey.

[groans]

-[Nina] Okay. -[telephone rings]

Hang in there.

[phone ringing]

-Birthing suite, Leo speaking. -[Nina] All right.

Yes. Brilliant. Thanks.

Lie down for a moment. Take a rest, okay?

What was that?

A surprise.

-You're gonna need this. -Thank you.

-Hi, Teegan. How you doing? -[Teegan] Not good.

[Kim] Good!

Take a breath for a moment, okay?

Bit of relief.

Is birth getting in the way of your media consumption, Leo?

No. No, no.

Here. Here.

-Good girl. -[groans]

[Leo] Teegan.

Recognize anyone?

[Matt] Hello, Teegan.

Matt. Matt! [laughs]

Hey, sweetie.

-[Teegan] Oh, no! Matt! -[chuckles]

Oh, what time is it?

-[Matt] Morning, about seven. -[Teegan] Oh.

[Nina] Push.

[groans in pain]

Must stop. Blown up.

One more push for the shoulders.

-A bit of encouragement, dad. -You can do it, sweetie.

[Nina] That's it. That's it.

-Yes. -Oh, here she is.

What a beautiful girl.

[laughs heartily]

-[Nina] Oh. -[baby wails]

Cut the umbilical cord, Leo.

She's so beautiful.

Hello!

[crying continues]

There we go.

Oh!

-[Nina] Beautiful baby girl. -My baby.

Well done, Teegan.

[baby crying]

-How'd you do it? -Luck, really.

I got in touch with the chief clerk at the base.

Ah, but Matt was on patrol,

so they patched me through to a bank with a computer

and internet connection.

But ho--how did you know

how to contact a military base in Afghanistan?

I made some calls.

Department of Defense, army.

I may have pretended to be taken.

Uh, but don't ask me to do the voice for you, so.

[laughing]

So, uh, where are you going on your date tonight?

Oh, that's not happening.

-Oh. -Yeah.

He's backed out.

Oh, I'm sorry.

Thanks.

Oh, I'm actually pretty relieved.

-Yeah? -Yeah.

I--I don't know if I was ready.

Anyway.

[Leo] Anyway, who cares?

His loss.

[Nina chuckles]

[Billie] Mm, I've got news.

Um, Jimmy doesn't need me anymore.

What?

Um, he's gonna run Jimmy's Tacos again.

Oh, I thought... aren't you a permanent employee?

No.

As it turns out.

-Sorry to hear that. -Oh, no.

It's just a misunderstanding. You kno I just got a bit carried away.

But in good news, I'm coming back to House Proud.

-Wow. -We'll be working together again.

Awesome.

-Problem? -No.

Um, I'd love you to come back.

Especially if it was...

on an unpaid basis?

Volunteering or like a hobby.

You're saying that there's not enough income for two people.

There's... There's not enough for one.

But, of course, Billie, House Proud is yours. You take over.

No. No. I'm not gonna kick you out.

No, I mean, let's be honest. I don't anything about styling and colors.

You do. Look at you. You look fabulous.

You told me to wear this.

No. Don't--don't worry about it.

I'll figure something out.

Take care.

Bye.

-[Lawrence] Oh, hello. -What's their problem?

-I can't talk about it. -Does she walk all over him?

-I can't talk about it. -Does he walk all over her?

I'm not talking about it.

I've--I've got only a minute, but do you wanna fool around?

[chuckles]

[shoes clacking]

So to what do I owe this visit?

-Hi. -Hello.

What's going on?

-Huh? -We're petting.

[Lawrence] Yeah, aside from that--

[smooch]

There's nothing aside from that. We're petting.

Wait, wait, wait, wait. Are you okay?

Why do you ask?

Oh, it's not a trick question.

Okay, do not under any circumstances,

try to analyze me right now.

[Lawrence scoffs]

-You're doing that thing you do. -Huh?

When you're using the fact that I'm a counselor to push me away.

I'm not. This has got nothing to do with you.

-Well, what is it? -What? Don't try to solve me.

I don't wanna--

I don't--I don't need it. I don't wan always be talking about everything.

-If this is gonna work. -Whoa.

Why do you always have to pick the sore spot?

-I don't think that's what I always d -Yeah, you do.

You can't resist. You're, like, "Oh, what's that? Pick, pick, pick!"

I think you've got some negative thoughts about something.

And rather than dealing with it head on, you're getting angry with me

Yes, I am because... sometimes, I'm like that.

Sometimes, I am a person stressed in misery.

Oh, that's not very fair to me, is it

But there's no need for you to be part of it.

Oh!

-Are you leaving now? -Yeah, I said I only had a minute.

[doorknob clatters]

[creaks]

[knock on door]

[Martin clears throat]

Leo filled us in.

[Leo] Sorry.

So your date's fallen through.

-[Nina scoffs] -What better thing to do

than come to a good, old-fashioned lesbian night.

Yes, but not me, of course. I will be baby-sitting Zoe.

No, no, thanks. I--I just-- I wanna go home.

-Nonsense. -There's a night tonight

-called Kiddie Punch. -Kiddie Punch?

[Kim] Leo's coming, I'm going.

-What could be better? -Don't give her a choice.

The decision has been made.

We're going.

Thanks, guys. [chuckles]

[sighs]

[Zara] Geraldine?

[footsteps approaching]

[inspiring music]

[door creaks]

-[Billie] Hi. -Greetings.

Ah!

-I brought some IQ games for Zoe. -[Billie] Oh!

And I have some questions regarding her development.

For example, does she use a spoon,

or does she require you to feed her?

She uses a spoon, sometimes,

but she uses it to spray food around, never goes in her mouth.

Hm, hm.

Interesting.

Does she drop toys on purpose?

The reason I ask is highly-intelligent--

Highly-intelligent children drop toys on purpose.

Yes, I know. And, yes, she does.

She drops toys all the time.

[Zoe coos]

I gotta go.

[Billie] Oh, bye, darling.

Bye, darling. Love you.

[stomping]

[door creaks opens]

[slams]

[roars]

[Kim] Crikey, we're early. There's food. We can eat.

I'm warning you, as the night goes on,

you may see lesbians.

Not a problem,

I've spent heaps of time in lesbian bars.

Wait, that's-- that's not what it sounds.

-You hang out in dyke bars? -Well, both my older sisters are gay.

So all three of us are way into it.

-Wait, that's not-- -Quit while you're ahead.

[Nina chuckles]

-You sure you're up for this? -Yes.

-'Cause if you're not... -No, I am.

-I'm good. Let's go in. -Right.

[rock music]

-Leo, hand over your phone. -No!

What do you want his phone for?

So he's not tempted to take calls from his ex.

[Leo] Mm.

-What's her name? -[Kim] Morticia.

-Melanie. -Tell her.

[sighs]

We were, um, together for five years.

[mellow music]

We moved in together, we bought a dog.

You know, all the things you do.

And I thought we're building something together.

And then, one morning at breakfast...

Fresh lemon juice?

Or maple syrup?

I'm leaving.

-What? -I don't love you.

I never did.

And she kept the dog.

[Kim] And he also happens to be leaving out the part

where she cut him off from all his friends.

Put him down in public, and generally tried to crush his spirit,

and control every part of his life.

And now, she's calling him, saying,

"I made a mistake." And he's thinking about getting back with her.

Don't deny it.

She said she's had time to think, okay?

Ah, you gotta cut off all communicati You gotta learn how to be mean to a g

What, like you, Kim?

Yeah, I know how to be mean to a girl.

I'm good at it.

Leo, practice on Nina.

[Leo] Hm? I'm not gonna be mean to Nina.

Nins, just tell him you wanna break up with him.

-[Nina] No! -No, come on. You're doing him a favo

Just look him at the eye, and repeat after me.

"Leo, you're an ass-brain."

Leo, you're an ass-brain.

No, I wouldn't think that.

[Kim] Leo.

"Stop calling me."

Stop calling me.

"You don't deserve me. I don't love you."

You know, tonight is-- is supposed to be

about making Nina feel better, not worse.

[Kim] Oh, yeah. I'm sorry.

Oh, it's okay. I'm okay.

About the whole date thing.

I'm disappointed.

But the thought of starting something scares me.

[chuckles]

Look at us. I've got a broken marriage,

your ex is trying to ruin your new life,

and your date did a runner.

Cheers.

[Leo] Cheers.

[cheerful music]

[Martin] Bath.

[Zoe giggles]

Bath!

"Eat food."

[chomping]

"Eat food."

-"Good!" -[cooing]

Okay, here we go.

Where's doggy?

Doggy.

Now...

Where's doggy?

Where is he?

Where's doggy gone?

[wails]

It's all right. Here's doggy.

[crying]

Ah, that's the--that's the most interesting sight.

Most interesting, indeed.

Unpleasant, kept searching for doggy.

Zoe.

Where does mommy keep the wine?

[upbeat music]

-[phone rings] -[Leo] No.

Oh, Melanie.

[Kim] Don't answer it.

I can't not answer it.

Then, stand your ground. Disengage.

Tell her you don't want to speak to her anymore.

Hi, Melanie.

Hey, hey, listen, I--I can't talk right now. I'm just having dinner.

Ah, with friends.

Ah, from work.

Yes, they are female friends.

-God. -Uh...Uh-huh.

No, I--I know, I know.

Listen, I'm gonna call you when I get home.

Okay? Okay, bye. Bye.

[clears throat]

See, there. That was firm.

Yeah, if I was her, I'd be pretty hap with the way that went.

[snorts]

[sighs]

[Nina] I mean, I know everything in my life might be daunting to a man

[Kim] Right.

Yeah, but, you know, you win some, you lose some.

[chuckles]

Leo's great, isn't he?

[Nina] Ye--yeah.

All my life, I wanted a brother and there he is.

Yes. He's--he's great.

Like today, he made a bunch of humiliating phone calls,

so that guy could see the birth of his child

from the other side of the world.

By anyone's standards, Leo is a man from the top shelf.

-Ah, yeah. -Yeah.

-Oh. Uh, yeah, yeah. -Hmm.

-Yeah. Yeah. -Yeah.

-Oh, this is so unconvincing. -Yes.

You know, maybe I'm just a friend.

Yeah, a male friend.

It's good to have one.

-Okay, lemon, lime and bitters for Ni -[Nina] Thank you.

Vodka tonic for Kim.

I spat in that.

-Cheers! -Cheers.

Cheers. Hey, do you guys mind if I head of?

I think someone's checking me out.

-Hm, no, of course. -[Leo] Oh.

Target rich environment.

[chuckles]

-Cheers! -Cheers!

Uh, I'm actually...

-Would it be rude if I were to leave? -No.

No, not at all. I'll--I'll walk you out.

Okay. Thanks.

That was a very expensive lemon, lime and bitters.

Oh. [chuckles]

[Billie] See what I mean?

[Darcy] Yeah. Yeah.

It's this location.

Building has a definite cache.

[Billie] I know.

I'm--I've done some rough costings and a business plan.

Oh, when did you do all this?

Just over the past month.

I just thought if we could find the right premises.

This could be perfect.

So, if you could just present this to Jimmy.

-Me? -Better coming from you.

Oh, this is your idea.

You've done all this work.

No.

Darling, what's the matter?

I--

I don't really trust myself anymore.

I mean, it took years

as your apprentice to learn the runnings of Proudman Real Estate

and then within weeks, I destroyed it.

And then, I replaced it with some half-ass styling business

that makes no money. But, you know, Jimmy. Jimmy.

He blows me away. Just...

Like he decided to make tacos

and he's built an empire.

Billie, I've made mistakes with Proudman Real Estate.

All business people do.

Back yourself.

You've seen an opportunity that Jimmy's missed.

Tell Jimmy what you told me.

What's the worse that could happen?

Thanks for leaving with me.

Um, sorry if I hadn't been much fun.

No, it's all right.

[laughs]

You think as you get older, relationships would become easier.

They just don't.

No.

No, there's more doubt and less courage.

Yeah.

Hey, I just wanted you to know that...

I'm good at sex.

I mean, I wasn't that night that we tried to--

-as a rule-- -Yes, totally. Totally.

Totally, and, you know, same for me.

I'm good in bed.

You know, I'm...

awesome at it.

I've got some really, you know, ferocious

-bedual-- -Moves.

-Yup. -Yeah, me too.

[Leo] Yeah.

I just wouldn't want you to think

that I'm always that awkward, so that's all.

I did not think that.

[cell phone rings]

It's Thomas.

-Are you gonna answer it? -Should I?

-Hi. -[Thomas] Hi.

Rocco's temperature has come down and my mom's here.

Are you still out and about?

-I'm on my way home. -Oh.

Can I come to meet you?

Hang on.

He wants to come and meet me.

-Do you want that? -I should

have the big conversation with him, face-to-face.

What big conversation?

Why we're never gonna take this any further.

Are you sure that's what's gonna happen?

Well, he's already said that he can't get into anything.

-Is he still there? -Yeah.

Yeah, okay. I'll--I'll meet you.

I'm on the corner of Fitzroy and Gertrude.

[Thomas] Yes. Great.

Okay, I'll see you soon.

Why am I nervous?

Do you want me to wait with you till he shows up?

-That might be weird. -Well, a good wingman

-stays with you through-- -No, it's okay.

-It's okay. I'll take it from here. -Are you sure?

-Yep. -Okay.

-Thanks. -[Leo] You're welcome.

-Have a good night. -You too.

[car rumbles by]

[door closes]

[sighs]

Are you expecting dad?

Yeah.

What are you doing, darling?

I--I called a meeting with Jimmy and Phillip.

What's up, Billie Bob?

Um, just--just let me set up.

[door slams]

[Phillip] Oh, well, this is exciting, Billie!

-Alarms in the night! -[Geraldine] Yep.

-What are you doing? -I was expecting Darcy.

Get up.

-I beg your pardon? -Stop tormenting the man,

pretending to be sick.

It's ridiculous!

I'm letting him compensate for a few things.

[Phillip] One day, you might actually be sick.

And you might need someone waiting on you hand and foot,

but until that day, I forbid you from doing it.

I hold my hand up.

And I forbid you.

Probably a good idea if you put your hand down now.

No, no. Let him leave it up.

I quite like it when he's forceful.

Ready.

[snaps]

Jimmy's Tacos.

[snaps]

This map shows the general radius

of your current pop-ups.

Your current dining price points.

[snaps]

Some examples of what your customers look like.

[snaps]

[snapping continues]

This property has become available for lease

[snaps]

My idea is to use it as a home-based commercial kitchen

where the cooking is done to supply the existing pop-ups.

[snaps]

It also has the potential to be a permanent restaurant

to work alongside

Jimmy's Tacos

in an a la carte dine-in experience.

[snaps]

Budget projections.

With some start-up capital

and a small loan,

Jimmy's Tacos can move into the future.

[snaps]

That's it.

-[Phillip] Wow! Excellent! -[Geraldine] Yes!

[Phillip] It's great!

-Doesn't it? -[clapping]

I'd like to confer with my business partner.

Would you mind waiting outside, please?

Sure.

[clanking]

[door slams]

[gasps]

I think what Billie says makes sense.

It's--It's-- It was a good proposal.

Don't just immediately say yes

when someone waltzes on in with a slide show.

I apologize.

Restaurant, it's a good idea.

And I'm biased.

I understand restaurants. I don't really understand pop-ups.

Whereas I do. Pop-ups are my thing. Get in, get out

I don't want a business line.

I'm--I'm just a silent partner.

It's your decision, Jimmy.

Oh, no, Phillip. This won't work--

[clucks]

What are you doing?

You are a chicken.

[cackles]

Mom, most restaurants fail within two years.

That's not what this is about.

You're afraid of owning success.

Saying, "Yup, I'm a businessman now."

And...

That's not the only consideration.

-Hey, Billie? -Hi!

[Zara] What are you doing out here?

[Billie] Um...

Jimmy and Phillip are having a business meeting.

[door opens]

[Jimmy clears throat]

Billie, would you come inside, please?

Hello, my love.

[Zara] Hi.

Can I come in too?

[Jimmy] Yes.

Okay, um...

This decision affects everybody.

Hm.

-If we go with your idea, BIllie-- -You want my idea?

-What's the idea? -To open a full-time restaurant,

it would mean spending the deposit we've saved to buy a house.

-Jimmy we've-- -No, you're right!

We're moving out and into our own house.

I'm sorry Billie, no.

Oh, for heaven's sake, Zara! I don't want you to buy a house.

I want you to stay here. This is your home.

-Geraldine! -Don't make me angry!

I'm not a well woman.

Well...

in that case,

yes.

Up to you, Jimmy.

I'm gonna say yes

on one condition.

Billie has to set it up

and manage it.

Deal.

Yeah!

[Jimmy] Billie Bob!

[all clapping and laughing]

[Thomas] Nina!

Thanks for waiting.

Um, firstly, I--I understand.

You and I both have a lot going on in our lives already

and my baggage is...

intricate.

Everything's different now that I'm a dad.

Looking at my son so sick, I thought,

"How can I start something?"

Well, I've--I've been feeling that as well.

But I realized that's a piss-weak excuse.

Can we try again?

Yep. Yes.

Great. Okay, let's go.

Now, we are walking, but not far.

Okay.

[Thomas] First,

I would have brought you here.

Because they do this thing, with walnuts and honey.

Hm.

And I would have asked you about your family.

-Oh, that's a long story. -Oh, yeah?

[Nina] Yeah. It's-- It's too long to tell now that--

My family's a big mess.

[chuckles]

Well, then, I would have asked you random questions.

Like, did you have an Etch A Sketch when you were a kid?

Yes, I did.

-I never drew anything good with it. -Oh, no. It was impossible.

[laughs]

[incidental music]

[chuckles]

[Thomas] This is where I would have brought you

after we ate.

[Nina] Oh, I love it here.

[Nina] I love this building.

I would have brought this.

-[Nina] Tiramisu? -[Thomas] Yep.

-[Nina] Did you make it? -[Thomas] Mm-hm.

[Nina] Hm. Perfect.

[Thomas] And I'd ask that you forgive me

for letting uncertainty get the better of me.

I forgive you.

When did you last ran through a park at night?

[Thomas] Come on!

[Nina chuckles]

-[Thomas] Come on. -[Nina] Oh, can't you wait?

-[Nina] Oh. -[thuds]

-[Nina] Ow. -Are you okay?

[Nina] Yep.

I think so. I just-- I jagged my ankle.

-Yeah. Here. -Ah.

Thank you. Okay.

Oh, yeah, see...

That's--No-- That's a bit better than I thought.

It's just a bit of a surprise more than anything.

Yeah. I reckon we need to get some ice on that ankle.

Oh, my--my ankle's okay.

I'm okay. It was just a shock.

Well, it's too late to put you down.

I'm not gonna dump you halfway.

You're huge.

And the ground's so far away.

I didn't plan this part, but...

it's working out pretty well.

[pants]

[clangs]

[footsteps approaching]

Darling.

You all right?

[sighs]

It's time to come clean.

I--I'm not as unwell as you think I am.

Geraldine.

[sighs]

Surely, you don't think you fooled me.

-I fooled you? -Not for a second.

Hm, it's easy to say that now.

-I was playing along-- -Why?

Are you trying to get back with me, Darcy?

What if I am?

What are your plans?

Are you staying for good

or are you going back to join Cherie and Ray?

Oh, that depends.

On what?

The outcome of this conversation.

[door slams]

Oh. Sorry, are we interrupting?

-No. No. -Oh, no.

[Geraldine] Come--Come on in.

Mom.

Zara has something for you.

[Geraldine sighs]

I can't ever repay you for what you've done,

There's no need.

I've-- I made you something very...

-tiny. -Oh. [chuckles]

I, uh, I scanned the photos from the albums.

-I thought you might like it. -[Geraldine] Oh!

[laughs]

-[Darcy] Oh, strange. -[all chuckles]

[Jimmy] Oh.

[Jimmy] Hello, fat guts.

-[Zara] Here he is. -[Darcy] Oh, my God.

-Hello. -[Darcy] 30 years since that.

[Zara] Darcy, you were a very handsome man.

[Jimmy] She's always been a nerd, eh?

[all laughs]

[Jimmy] Oh, look.

[chuckles]

-[Darcy] The girls. -[Geraldine] Aren't they adorable?

I miss this.

-[Jimmy] Look at here, you cray. -[Darcy] Hey.

[Jimmy] Oh, a couple hats and fellas.

-[Darcy] I still got that hat. -[Zara] Yes.

[Geraldine] Mm.

-[Jimmy] Wow. -[Darcy] Big beard then, eh?

That is a bushy beard.

[Geraldine laughs]

[doorbell rings]

[doorknob clicks]

-Hey. -Hello.

Come inside.

[door shuts]

[Billie] About before, I was--

Just-- I was having a crisis of confidence.

Sorry.

[Lawrence] No.

I'm not interested in sorry.

Pardon?

You have to accept that I'm your partner.

You have to share things with me.

That's--that's not...

me.

Then try harder.

Okay. Don't...

demand things off me.

Is intimacy not important to you?

Yeah.

When...

things go wrong, I--I get messed up and confused.

No, I--I don't ask for help.

[Billie] I don't.

It's...

I act out and I push away.

That's what killed my marriage.

I ran away from Mick

when I should've run towards him.

[romantic music]

Well, from now on,

you run towards me.

[Lawrence] I'm good for you.

And now,

now I'm falling in love with you.

Oh.

[chuckles]

You're not what I expected.

Well, you're not what I expected either.

I--I guess that makes us even.

-Can we have sex now? -[Lawrence laughs]

[clatters]

See, now I'm

afraid to talk.

In case, I say the wrong thing and ruin it.

I had a lovely night.

Me too.

How's the ankle?

Oh, it's fine.

-Good. -Good.

Okay, I'm gonna go.

Can we do this again some time?

Yeah.

Great.

Good night.

Good night.

Bye.

Bye, Nina.

[melodious music]

Bye.

[door closes]

[phone ringing]

[ringing continues]

-Hello? -[Thomas] It's Thomas.

-Were you asleep? -No.

[Thomas] Me neither.

So tell me something.

What?

[Thomas] Anything. Something random like...

What books are on your bedside table.

Oh. [sighs]

I've got loads of books with the corners of the pages folded over.

Books I'm enjoying,

but I'm--won't have a hope of ever finishing.

[Thomas] Tell me.

Uh.

Well, lots of Tim Winton ones.

I love Tim Winton.

[Thomas] So do I.

Do you? Which one do you like best?
