Original subtitles

- Doing Martin's job as well as my own.

Just don't have enough time or energy

to do it properly. (sighs)

- He told Dad he was suffering from occupational stress

and Dad told him to stop being a pussy.

- It's all a crock of shit is what it is.

Improve work practices.

The only reason you're here is your sister

is getting on my tits.

- A dinner invitation. (chuckles)

- Humor me.

(door thuds)

- So I found the first brick for your sex wall.

This is about sex.

This is about physicality.

This is about losing the familiarity you have right now

with Mick's body, that's it.

- Sorry, but I just don't think I'm gonna be able

to make it tonight.

Please send my apologies to Kristy.

- Uh, Kirsty.

I will do.

- [Nina] Sorry, Kirsty.

(door thuds)

(Kerry moans)

- If we never tell anyone, it never happened.

- I think you're underestimating my sisters.

- I'm in love with you.

Move in.

(Harry chuckles)

(birds chirping)

(lighthearted music)

- There you go.

Put that in the box, Zo.

(glass clinking)

(pot sliding) (pot clinking)

Good.

Oh.

Good girl.

(box clattering)

(box thudding)

(magazines clattering)

(knocks thumping)

Oh.

Oh. (chuckles)

(magazines thudding)

Oh. (sighs)

- Harry!

- Oh, Zo.

Hello. (chuckles)

(box thuds)

(Nina sighs)

(heels clacking) (door thuds)

- Hi.

- Hi. (chuckles)

(Nina laughs)

- Welcome home.

- [Harry] Mm, thanks.

(Nina laughs)

(Harry chuckles)

- Just put it all here and we can sort it out after work.

- Yeah, uh, we've got dinner at my parents.

- Yes, oh, I can't wait. - Yeah.

(luggage thuds)

- Is the rest of your stuff in the car or?

- No, this is everything.

- Oh, this is all you're bringing?

(heels clacking)

- Yup.

- (laughs) What about all the stuff at your house?

- Don't need it.

I'm glad to be rid of it, actually.

- Okay. (Harry laughs)

Great, that was easy.

- The easiest move in history.

- [Nina] Two bags?

That's it?

- No, no, I wanna fight for this, Andrew.

No, a, a connection like this comes up once in a lifetime.

But I would do anything for you.

Do you know what?

I feel like I can tell you anything.

I wanna have babies with you. (laughs)

Oh, don't go.

Oh, well, can I come to? (laughs)

Oh, no.

What, what, what about lunch?

I just, I miss you.

It's weird.

Well, can you call me?

Please?

I'm not gonna breathe until...

He's gone.

(phone clicks) (phone taps)

- Billie, what was that?

- I'm never gonna hear from him again.

- So you mean you- - It's fundamental

to building a sex wall

is making sure I don't leave behind a string

of broken hearts, so I sex them,

then preemptively pretend to be overly in love with them

in a needy, bordering-on-obsessive way.

(birds calling)

- That is brilliant.

- Thank you.

- I've gotta go.

- Mm. - Mm.

- Mm. - Mm.

Mm-hmm. (plate clinking)

- Thank you, bye-bye.

(line trilling)

- [Jimmy] Oh.

- [Kerry] Hi, you've reached Kerry Green.

(phone clicking)

- So you're meeting Harry's family at last.

- Mm, mm. - Can you secretly film it

so I can see?

- Oh, don't worry, I'll make a full report.

- It's so important for you to be amazing tonight.

How's the big move-in going?

- It's done, actually.

Harry only moved two bags.

- Oh, what about his furniture?

- Doesn't want it.

- Oh.

Well, maybe, I don't know,

he's having some kind of stress reaction to moving in.

It is one of the top five traumas.

- No, I just think he's very relaxed about it.

- Mm.

Don't underestimate it, Nins.

Moving in can provoke all kinds of conflict.

I mean, what if he's messy?

What if he's weird about where things should go?

You're gonna have to learn how to share.

Are you feeling insecure?

- I wasn't.

- Mm, you should've stayed at home.

You know, nested together.

- I didn't have that luxury.

- Oh, this is me.

- Oh.

- See ya. (lips smack)

- Bye.

(mischievous music)

(heels clacking) (cars whooshing)

(heels clacking)

- Morning, Kerry.

(shoes thudding)

(door thuds)

Morning, Kerry.

- [Kerry] I'm on the phone, Billie.

(heels clacking)

- I want Martin to come home, sure.

But the distance is having an incredible effect

on our sex life. (elevator bell dings)

And not only that, we're writing back and forth.

- Writing what? (heels clacking)

- Text messages, then letters, then emails.

- Sexy emails?

- But it's gone beyond that now

to like kind of, I guess, stories.

- Porn?

- Oh, fantasy.

- No.

Except yes. (Zara gasps)

- Oh, you gotta show us.

- Yeah, you gotta show us.

- No. - Oh, this is nice.

Just like old times.

- What are you doing here?

- Huh, still with the... (sighs)

- Hey, did Harry move in?

- Yes, he did sort of.

- Sort of?

- Yeah, he moved in a couple of bags,

suitcase and a Hong Kong shopper.

- Oh, that's pretty bad.

Where's his furniture?

- Well, he, he didn't bring any,

which is good, isn't it?

Because who needs two dining tables? (laughs)

- So his furniture's at his ex's.

So she has his things.

- Yeah, that's not moving in.

- Yeah, that's like one foot in each camp.

- Like he needs to move in something big.

- Yeah, like a couch.

- Or a wardrobe.

- I've got built-in wardrobes, so.

- Yeah, well, just something heavy,

you know, to prove that he's serious.

- A bed.

- Can I have a word with you, Cherie?

- Mm-hmm.

(papers thwack)

- A freezer.

- [Kim] Kennel.

- Cherie, about Martin and this long distance.

- Oh, my God, yes.

I can tell you it has been, I don't know,

beyond, well, anything.

- (chuckles) Now I've spoken to him

and, and I've spoken to you,

and you're just both so distracted by the sexual charge.

- We've been writing.

It's been intense.

I didn't know words could do that.

- I, I just can't keep my life in limbo

while you two play sex games.

I'm, I'm sorry.

If he wants to stay out there and you're both enjoying it,

that's great, but this has got to end.

- I get it. Of course.

You're right. Sorry.

(Nina chuckles)

I mean, you've covered so well for him.

You're right.

- Thank you.

- Oh, hey, Nina.

I heard about Harry, the non-committal move.

- He's gotta move in a bed or a fridge.

A fridge is hard to move.

- No, it's not about furniture

or white goods or anything heavy.

What you need to do is check his urine.

As long as his urine stops smelling in a few days,

it means he's less threatened and he's more likely to stay.

- He's not a cat.

- Trust me.

- I'll talk to Martin.

- Okay, thank you.

(door thuds)

Idiot.

(shoes thudding)

(Jimmy sighs)

- Hi. (chuckles)

- [Jimmy] Hey.

- Uh, what's happening tonight?

- I was planning on working.

Why? - I'm going out.

(Jimmy scoffs)

I will not be available for childcare because I'm going out.

- Have you got a date?

- No. (chuckles)

Why would you think that?

I can go out of the house for the evening

without it being a date.

Why would you assume it's a date? (laughs)

- I didn't, but I do now.

- I'm just going out for dinner, that's all.

It's not a date. Shut up.

(birds chirping) (cars whooshing)

(keyboard clacking) (shoes tapping)

(knocks thudding)

- Busy?

- Oh, just making sure our productivity report

addresses all of the criteria.

- Um, I've pulled our meeting forward an hour.

I hope that suits. (siren blaring)

- Sure.

(keyboard clacking)

Actually, Emma,

I, I've thought about it,

and the lack of certainty about Martin Clegg's return

is making my schedule-

- I understand.

Hasn't been fair to you.

I'll sort it out.

- Really?

- Yes.

Leave it with me.

(shoes clacking)

- Thank you.

(pensive music)

(Kerry sighs) (pen tapping)

(knocks thudding)

- Yup?

(door clicking)

(door thuds)

- Okay, is something wrong?

- What?

- Well, you locked yourself up in here

and you're acting weird.

What is it?

You're not responding.

(Kerry sighs)

Something to do with breaking up with Will.

- Billie, I don't wanna talk about it.

- Wish you hadn't broken up with Will.

- That's part of it, but, uh-

- You know what?

Sometimes things happen in the heat of the moment

and it's okay to admit if you made a mistake.

- You know what I want you to focus on?

Your next date, which I have lined up.

This one is a step up.

I know him a little.

He's a very special guy.

(chair rolling)

- Special how?

- Smart.

A complex taste, good match for you.

- In what way?

- [Kerry] You'll see when you meet him.

(keyboard clacks)

- Okay.

I'm gonna order some lunch.

Do you want some?

- No, thank you.

(shoes clacking)

(Kerry sighs)

- I know that you were distracting me just now

with the date.

I just want you to realize that I'm still tuned in

to your strange emotional thing,

and I'm eager to help there, too.

- I'm fine.

(phone ringing)

(door clicking) (mischievous music)

(door thuds)

(Kerry sighs)

Oh, God.

- Oh, Emma, I'm just coming.

(door thuds)

- Just wanted to let you know I contacted Martin Clegg.

- Oh, you found him.

- I gave him an ultimatum.

Either he tells us when he's returning or we replace him.

- Right.

Gosh.

- Anyway, the upshot is that Martin Clegg

will not be returning to St. Francis.

- (gasps) You fired him.

- It was a long time coming.

We will be advertising for the position

of head of obstetrics.

I hope you continue to perform the role

until we can appoint a replacement.

Anyway, um, staff meeting.

(blinds rattling)

(lighthearted music)

- [Nina] Did I just get Martin Clegg fired?

(folders clattering)

(phone clicking)

(line trilling)

(chain rattling)

- [Jimmy] Hey.

- Hey, Jimmy, can you pick me up some noodles

from that Japanese place? (door thuds)

- No, because use the app.

- [Billie] Why would I when it's quicker

to go straight to you? (keys jangling)

- I don't get paid unless you use the app.

(alarm chirping)

- I'll pay you.

- Billie, I'm not your personal servant.

This is the last time.

I can hear you smiling.

Same noodle soup?

- [Billie] Yes, please.

- Uh, Billie. (box thuds)

Billie, is Kerry there?

- Why?

- Just wondering if she, she wants anything.

- No.

- [Jimmy] She's there but she doesn't want anything

or she's not there?

- Why?

- No reason. (keys jangling)

- She says she doesn't want lunch, but bring her something.

She needs to eat.

Bye.

(mellow music)

(door thuds)

- [Martin] You have reached Martin Clegg, PhD.

Please leave a message and I will get back to you.

(voicemail beeps)

(phone chirps)

- [Nina] Martin's been sacked.

They're advertising the position.

And it means someone has to tell Cherie.

- Cherie, you remember Cate.

- Oh, wow, Cate, you look like you're ready to go.

- Could you try calling Ewan again?

- Yeah, of course. - Uh-

- Everything all right? (elevator bell dings)

- We can talk later.

Yes, go.

- Okay.

- [Cate] Oh, Ewan.

- Are you all right?

- [Cate] The baby's coming.

(Ewan sighs)

- Brody.

- Hi. - Hello.

- I need to talk to you.

- Oh, my office.

(door thuds)

(heels clacking)

- You remember Jason.

(Bob cooing)

- Bob's father?

(Bob cooing)

What's happened? What's he done?

- Nothing bad.

We've just been hanging out.

(Bob cooing)

- Oh.

- And the thing is, he's really changed,

and we've been really great together.

Totally 100% different.

And he's amazing with Bob

and he calls him Robbo.

(Bob cooing)

So I...

- So you want me to tell Billie?

- I know, sorry.

I just wanted to avoid her first reaction.

Second reaction I can deal with.

It's always less emotional.

(Bob cooing)

- You know what?

This time it's important for you

to have that conversation yourself.

(Bob cooing)

- Really?

- Come on, be brave.

You'll feel better.

(Bob cooing)

(door clicking)

(door thuds)

- Hello again.

- Would you like the boardroom today, Billie?

- Ha, no.

I've been tracking back

to when you first started acting strangely.

- Uh, leave it, please.

- And it was after the night of my first date when you

and Jimmy were shadowing me.

- Don't overanalyze everything.

- Is it something I did or something that happened?

- (chuckles) No.

- [Jimmy] Hello?

(chair clattering)

- In here!

- Ah, should, should I just (Kerry sighs)

leave 'em out here?

- No, come in and say hi to Kerry!

- [Kerry] Okay.

(phone clicks)

(Kerry clearing throat)

(phone clicking)

- Here we go.

N- noodles.

- Yum.

- [Jimmy] Oh, hey, Kerry.

- How you going, Jimmy?

- Yeah, good. You?

- Good. - Good, yeah.

(phone clicking)

Where, where, where do you want your food?

(phone clicking) (phone ringing)

(palm thudding)

- Why don't you come and have some, Jimmy?

- No, I'm good.

Yes, here you go. (Kerry panting)

Mm, yes, just, um.

(chair clattering)

- All right, I can't take it, we had almost sex.

- What?

Can't believe you.

- Sorry.

- Billie, it was a party pash that just went too far.

- Uh, a party poke.

It was so short. It was hardly in.

I don't think it actually went in.

I felt it on my leg.

- (groans) I feel sick.

What do we do? (sighs)

(wind blowing)

(heels clacking)

(door thuds)

What?

- What happens now?

- Usually, she comes back in a minute really mad

and just rips the shit through you, us.

- Awesome.

(Jimmy sighs)

(handle clicking)

(door thuds)

(heels clacking)

(pensive music)

- I know you're both adults.

Your relationships are none of my business.

But I've been cheated on and I've also been the cheater.

So I know all about being weak and being drunk

and being lonely and angry

and the desire to make it all go away

by pretending that nothing ever happened.

- Yeah, I-

- Let me finish.

The thing is the, the lies and the secrets,

they're like stealing.

And you steal a little bit here and a little bit there

from your partner's trust, from your own self-respect,

and then you steal a little bit more

and a little bit more with every little lie

that covers up all the other lies

until finally you've stolen so much, there's nothing left.

There's nothing.

And the truth comes out anyway

'cause it always does.

(heels clacking)

(door thuds)

- Do you think she's gonna tell them?

- I have no idea.

(car whooshing)

(Cate groaning)

- She's been at 10 centimeters for an hour.

The labor's not progressing.

- [Ewan] Okay, what's going on?

- That's not a contraction. - Ugh, make it stop. (panting)

- Fetal heart rate is 105 with variable decelerations.

- Fetal bradycardia.

- Can someone tell me what is happening, please?

- Cate, Cate. - Ewan,

has Cate had a cesarean before?

- No, this is our first child.

- Okay, she's gone in shock. (Cate panting)

I'm calling code green. - Yup.

(Cate whimpering) (tense music)

- Cate, stay with me.

Stay with me.

- Code green, theater one.

(phone clacks)

(alarm buzzing)

We're gonna transfer her to the operating room

into an emergency cesarean.

- Get Nina. - Yup.

(tense music continues) (alarm continues buzzing)

(tools clanging)

(baby crying) (uplifting music)

- [Kim] I've got her.

(baby continues crying)

Oh.

It's okay.

It's okay.

It's okay.

(baby continues crying)

(heart monitor beeping)

- [Nina] Elvis?

- [Elvis] There's a rupture.

(tense music)

(Elvis sighs)

There it is.

You see it? (sighs)

(heart monitor beeping)

- [Nina] That's definitely scar tissue.

- [Elvis] Cate said this was her first child.

(tense music continues) (heart monitor beeping)

Clamp.

(Nina sighing)

It's under control.

(tense music continues) (heart monitor beeping)

(uplifting music)

(Ewan gasping)

- Cate, is it possible that you've had a cesarean before?

(baby cooing)

- Yeah, I was 17.

Ewan doesn't know.

I should've told you.

- We really needed to know that.

(baby cooing)

We're discreet.

We'll always protect your privacy.

(baby hiccups)

- What happened to your first baby?

- That's none of our business.

- No, it's okay.

(baby cooing)

Uh, baby didn't make it. (sighs)

I was very young.

(baby cooing)

(tender music)

(baby cooing)

- He's gorgeous.

(Cate chuckling)

(door thuds)

- Yeah, yeah. - They told me.

- Oh, wait, wait, wait.

You come here.

Yeah.

No, not you.

(Elvis sighs)

Actually, you can, you can come, too.

- [Nina] What is it?

- So anyway, Cherie and Martin

have been writing to each other.

- Their sex letters.

- Sex letters? (chuckles)

- Well, yes, they started off as letters,

and then turned into I don't even know what,

sex fantasies kind of?

And then turned into something a bit more structured,

like with character arcs and subplots,

and it is a major endeavor.

And this (paper thuds)

is it. (Elvis sighs)

- Why do you have it?

- Oh, it's just that Cherie's laptop kind of hit print.

- Kim.

- What? - Yes,

it was a moral gray area,

but Cherie was gonna show us anyway.

- Yes. (Nina scoffs)

- Can I read it?

You're so impulsive.

You, you, y- y- y- y- you buy a caravan on a whim,

- Oh, (chuckles) I'm not exactly winning

at the game of life, Will.

- I don't wanna be exactly like you.

I just wanna be more like you.

(Jimmy chuckles)

Look, here's what I'm suggesting.

Text me randomly day or night to do the opposite.

- The opposite of?

- Of whatever I'm doing.

Just say, opposite.

Or, or tell me to say yes to the next thing

Suck it up, Nina.

You have to tell her.

(heels clacking)

(sighs) Cherie.

- Hey, I'm off.

- Can I just... (sighs)

- What is it?

- Something happened today.

I had a talk with Emma.

And this, (sighs) oh, it's no easy way to say this.

And, and I'm not sure

that I managed the conversation very well.

But the thing is the hospital is,

is going to advertise Martin's job.

- What?

What does that mean?

- He's been removed.

I'm so sorry, Cherie.

I honestly didn't know it was gonna come to this.

- Bullshit.

They can't do this, can they?

Can they?

- Emma did say it was the end of a long road.

(Nina sighs)

- You did this.

- Um, well, I might've-

- You forced them to make a decision.

- I don't, I'm, I'm, I'm gonna make this right.

- [Cherie] No, you pushed them.

- I- (elevator bell dings)

- Thanks a lot.

(melancholy music)

- [Nina] Cherie.

- Don't!

(doors rattling)

(keys jangling)

(heels clacking)

- (sighs) Hey.

- Hi.

(Harry chuckles)

Harry,

I've got a confession to make. (chuckles)

(sighs) I don't actually feel like you've moved in.

- How come?

- I know it's a big thing moving in together.

It, it can be a real trauma.

- Well, are you finding it traumatic?

(laptop thuds)

- No.

No, I'm not.

But I feel like you might be having doubts.

- No, w- why would you think that?

- Well, for one, most people move in

with, I don't know, more than two bags.

- Well, yeah, you have everything.

We, we don't need my stuff.

- I can make room.

Bring some stuff.

Bring some furniture, anything, something, something heavy.

- Why?

- Well, would you rather that Georgie keeps your things?

- Georgie? What?

- Isn't that giving her that part of you?

- No, I'm not my stuff.

- Leave it.

This will only explode.

Okay.

Well, you know what I mean.

- No, no, I'm, I'm not sure that I do.

- Are you here or are you not here?

- Where are you going?

Nina.

Nina!

I- if this is the relationship you want,

then I'm not interested.

(Nina inhales)

(shoes clacking)

Don't walk out on me.

Don't dump me with a problem and then, then walk away.

(birds calling)

- I just-

- No.

If there's something to figure out,

we'll figure it out together.

Okay?

(Harry sighs)

I don't think this is about furniture at all.

(Nina sighs)

- I'm sorry.

I just, I wanted today to be amazing.

I want it to be amazing.

And I want to trust things.

(Harry chuckles)

I'm a bit nervous about meeting your family.

- Okay.

(sighs) Well, if we're being honest,

I'm nervous about that, too.

But it's their behavior I'm worried about.

I mean, expect some strong ideas.

I find it helps to roll with the punches.

(tender music)

(lips smack)

- Look, look, I don't think we'll need to take it that far,

but I will have a careful look at it, guys,

and we'll talk further.

- Thank you. - Okay.

- Appreciate your time.

- Not a problem. - Thank you.

- Thank you. - Have a good day.

(notification chiming)

(Will sighs)

(associates chattering) (mischievous music)

Forgot where I'm going.

(Will chuckles) (notification chiming)

(associates chattering)

(mischievous music continues)

Talk soon.

(car whooshing)

(associates chattering)

(ringtone chiming) (door thuds)

- Oh, it's Billie. (chuckles)

Hi. (chuckles)

- Nins,

are you at dinner yet?

- No, just going in now. (chuckles)

- Okay, I need to tell you something.

I'm ashamed, but I need to offload

and you're the trustworthiest.

- [Nina] Oh, can it wait?

- [Billie] No, it can't.

(Nina sighs)

- [Nina] Sorry.

- Oh, that's okay.

I, I'll warm them up.

- Uh, two, two seconds. (chuckles)

Billie, hurry up. What is it?

- Earlier today, I learned, well, guessed,

that Jimmy and Kerry had sex.

- No.

- I know. It's awful.

But I had to tell because I'm so bad at keeping secrets.

(phone ringing)

- You know, I think my attitude is different

when I look backwards.

- The next person you see,

ask what they're doing tonight and invite yourself along.

- (laughs) Shit.

Um, uh.

Oh, easy. Guess who it is?

It's our sister.

(plate thuds) (mischievous music)

- Which one? - Billie.

Billie!

- Speak of the devil.

- Who is it?

- [Billie] It's Will.

- Wait, wait, has she seen you?

- Yeah.

- Nins,

you have to talk me down.

- Billie, please don't say anything to him.

- Just change your plan.

Uh, do, do a dance.

- Uh, uh, what?

- Dance away.

Dance back the way you came.

- [Billie] I'm walking towards him.

- Stop right now.

- Uh.

(Will panting)

(shoes thudding)

(Will chuckling)

(Will laughing)

- You dancing?

- (laughs) Yes.

- He's dancing.

- He's what?

- Now dance away from her.

- Okay.

(Will grunts) (pole squeaks)

(mischievous music continues)

(Will panting)

(bin thuds)

- He danced away.

I need to go now.

That was almost the worst thing that ever happened.

Goodbye.

- Oh.

(phone beeps)

(Nina sighing)

(Nina sighs) (shoes clacking)

(door clicking) (door squeaks)

(peaceful classical music)

Ooh.

(keys jangling)

(doors thudding)

- [Harry] She's coming.

She had to take a call.

- [Kirsty] What about Zoe?

I thought you were bringing her.

- [Harry] No, she's spending the night with her uncle.

- [Kirsty] Oh, that's disappointing.

- [Harry] Well, it's not my fault.

- [Kirsty] I so wanted to meet her.

- I know. - It's me, Harry.

(Harry faintly speaking)

- Yeah. - Harry.

- There she is. - Oh. (chuckles)

Hello.

- Hi.

At last we meet.

- Hi.

It's Kirsty, Kristy.

No, Kirsty.

Hi, Kristy.

- Kirsty.

- Kirsty, sorry.

- It's fine.

- I'm Jill. (chuckles)

And you must be Nina.

- Hi. Nina.

Hi.

It's lovely to meet you.

- (laughs) Chip?

- Oh, thank you.

- Dad, this is Nina.

Nina, Drew.

- Hi, Drew.

It's so nice to meet you.

- Nina.

- [Nina] Hmm.

- Hey, where's Russ?

- [Russell] Hi, hi, hi!

- Ooh, (chuckles) here he comes.

- Russell needs to make his own entrance.

- Oh, my God.

Have we got the makings of a spritz before I die?

Hi!

- (laughs) Hi. - Hi.

It's so great to finally meet you. (laughs)

Hello, fuckface. - Hey, buddy.

(Russell laughs)

(Nina laughs)

- You have done very well for yourself, yeah?

- Well. (Nina chuckles)

- Uh, so I heard about your weird dinner with Georgie.

- Oh, of course, she called you straight after.

- She's okay in case you were wondering.

- What a strange thing to do,

ask her over to your current girlfriend's house

to break up with her all over again.

- [Nina] Did she just say current?

- That's not exactly how it went. (chuckles)

- Well, that's all right, though.

Georgie's strong.

- [Kirsty] She's got her head screwed on, that one.

- She's a clever girl.

- She's a cow.

Drink, Nina. (Nina chuckles)

- That's my bestie you're talking about.

- Anyway-

- I'm just saying she's not as perfect as you all make out.

- Can we just all-

- I am on team Nina.

- Oh, thank you.

- Dancers needed attention.

- (chuckles) Georgie's not exactly a dancer.

(Jill and Russell laughing)

- Guys. (Nina laughing)

- [Nina] Is this really happening?

- Very needy.

- That is not true at all.

- No one could service that ego.

- That's probably why Harry

and Georgie could never quite manage to work it out.

- [Nina] Hang on, pause.

Can we just play that again?

(tape warbling)

- That's probably why Harry

and Georgie could never quite manage to work it out.

- Again? (tape warbling)

- Never quite manage to work it out.

- [Nina] Manage or managed?

- I definitely said manage,

as in I'm still holding out hope.

- And all of Harry's stuff is still with Georgie.

(air whooshing)

- Two bags and no furniture?

He's not committing to you.

- Plus, don't forget, you got your boss fired

and everyone hates you.

Team Nina.

(whimsical music)

(Nina chuckling)

- Oh, it's, it's huge.

It's enormous.

Biggest majority (Geraldine clears throat)

in council history.

Oh. (Geraldine clears throat)

Geraldine.

- No, not here.

Somewhere further back.

- Oh.

Um, do you have a table a little less visible to the street?

(diners chattering) (utensils clanging)

(heels clacking) (gentle piano music)

Ah. (chuckles)

(Geraldine clears throat)

Better?

- We'll see.

(chair scraping)

- Why are you being so skittish?

- I'm not.

I would just prefer not to be seen with you.

- Should I be offended?

- Yes.

- Well, I'm not.

I'm very glad you're here.

(diners continue chattering) (gentle piano music continues)

- You've got five minutes in which

to say something interesting or I'm going home.

(Phil sighs)

(heels clacking)

- Here we go. (sighs)

(Nina chuckles)

Now, let's not all stand on ceremony.

(Nina chuckles)

- Oh, this looks beautiful, Jill.

- (chuckles) Thank you.

- Harry, are you almost finished

giving Dad's business the old woo-hoo?

(Nina laughs)

- There's no talking work at the table.

- It sounds like he's getting ready to burn me.

- (laughs) Oops, sorry I mentioned the war.

- Stop stirring the pot.

- Let's just talk about something less controversial.

- Russell was adopted.

(Jill laughs)

- Oh, now you tell me.

- Well, Nina wouldn't know otherwise.

- Oh.

- More wine, anyone?

- [Nina] Yes, please.

- Does anyone notice when Harry's nervous, he's more formal?

(Jill and Russell chuckling)

- I'm not nervous.

(all chuckling)

- Shut up.

(all laughing)

(ringtone chiming) (phone vibrating)

- Whose bloody phone is that?

- Oh, I think that's mine, sorry.

- We have a no phones at the table rule.

- Nina has to keep her phone on for work.

- Oh, sorry.

(ringtone continues chiming) (phone continues vibrating)

- Do you need to take it?

- Um...

(ringtone continues chiming) (phone continues vibrating)

Oh.

No.

(phone beeps)

- Sorry to growl, but it's rude.

- Dad.

It's fine.

- (sighs) Sorry.

(utensil tapping)

- Let's eat.

(Harry sighs)

(utensils clanging)

(mellow music)

(shoes clacking)

- Billie?

- Dan?

- Lovely to meet you.

- You, too.

Oh, thank you.

(diners chattering) (dishes clanging)

Should we sit?

- I prefer to stand, don't you?

- Sometimes.

- (chuckles) No, you're right, we should sit.

- (chuckles) Are you nervous?

- Do you want me to be nervous?

- No, I just wondered.

(chair scraping)

- I ordered us a bottle of Tempranillo.

Do you like red?

- I'm not sure that I've tried it.

- You never tried red wine?

- That's right.

- I find that hard to believe.

- What else do you find hard to believe?

- That people really landed on the moon.

- What's the moon?

- Kerry said that you were fun.

- She said you were, too.

(both chuckling)

- Do you like tacos?

- Yeah.

It has connotations, but I can get past that.

- Is it a euphemism for something?

- What?

- [Dan] Taco.

- No, it's just my brother used to own a taqueria.

- You're kidding.

That's funny, so did mine in Singapore.

- You serious?

- Yeah, dead set.

- I haven't heard anyone say dead set since grade two.

- Hmm, then you are in for a gnarly, rad night.

- After all the harm you've caused my family, my children,

you think you can charm your way back

into my life with a dinner or two.

- Then tell me, please,

why you would come all this way just to insult me.

- The only reason I wanted to come was to insult you.

- (gasps) I do not believe that at all,

and I call you a liar.

- Fine.

- Yes, that's right, leave.

Well, there, yes, off you go.

Go on, go on.

- Actually,

(purse thuds)

I'm gonna finish my wine.

(Phil chuckling)

Why don't you go?

(fork clanking)

(diners chattering) (gentle piano music)

(fork clanking)

(napkin rustling)

(chair scraping)

(jacket rustling)

- Goodnight.

- Hmm.

(gentle piano music continues) (diners continue chattering)

(Geraldine sighs)

(knife scraping)

- So how long does it take to write up a report?

(plates clanking)

- Can we not talk about work?

- Come on, just fill in the form, son.

Workplace culture review.

We run a bus company.

I mean, do we need all this touchy-feely stuff?

Just tick a few boxes. - Dad.

- Jesus, do you actually know what I do?

- Does anybody?

Do you?

- Hmm?

Well, yes.

Uh, I have been on the receiving end of Harry's work.

(Kirsty chuckles)

- Sorry, just the phrasing.

- Managing people is more complex than you think.

But you'd know if you actually ever thought about it.

- No, I forbid this conversation.

I will not have it. (palm thumping)

(chair scraping)

(heels clacking)

- Take something off.

- I have been managing people since before you were born.

- Yeah, and it's going really well for you, isn't it?

- What does that mean?

- I think what Harry means is-

- Don't speak for me, Nina, not here.

- Oh, no.

- You haven't been around long enough

to know what Harry means.

- Dad.

- Okay, I'll tell you what I mean.

I think the company has a serious top-down problem.

It starts with you.

- Harry. - You're a menace

to the people who are giving their lives to work for you.

You're what's technically known as a bully.

- Have another drink.

- Ah, take some responsibility for once

and accept something needs to change.

You need to change.

(pensive music)

(sighs) We should go.

Sorry, Mum.

We're gonna go.

Thanks for a lovely dinner.

- Thank you.

(pensive music continues)

(Drew clears throat)

(door clicking)

(keys jangling)

(Harry sighs)

- I'll just put Zoe to bed.

(pensive music continues)

(door thuds)

(keys jangling)

(Harry sighs)

(keys jangling)

(door clicking)

(door thuds)

(jacket rustling)

(Dan chuckles)

- (sighs) That was (chuckles) lovely.

(chuckles) Can I see you again?

- Why?

- I don't know, I think I like you or something.

- (chuckles) Where's your phone?

(Dan chuckles)

(mellow music)

(phone clicking)

You want a ride home?

- No.

(keys jangling)

See ya.

(Dan chuckles)

(heels clacking)

(insects chirping)

(gentle music)

- Harry?

(knocks thudding) (Nina sighs)

(heels clacking)

(door clicking)

- (sighs) Can I come in?

- Mm-hmm.

(door thuds)

Would you like a glass of wine?

- No, thanks.

(Nina chuckles)

(glass clinks)

(bottle thudding)

Cherie, I'm so sorry.

I want you to know that there is nothing

I would deliberately do to jeopardize Martin's job

or your relationship.

- No, I know.

I spoke with him.

He tried to call you.

- I was at dinner.

- (sighs) Well, it turns out

that he doesn't wanna come home just yet.

He's happy out there.

He loves it.

And let's face it,

our marriage is at another level right now.

(Nina sighs)

- You're not worried?

- Mm, the fact that I can't control him

is part of why I love him.

(shoes clacking)

- Wait.

There's something else. (sighs)

I have a printout of some of the sexual stuff

that you and Martin have been writing.

- (sighs) Bloody Kim.

I, I asked if she was snooping around my laptop.

She went, "No."

(sighs) It's out now.

Everyone will read it by tomorrow, you may as well.

- Uh, no.

- (sighs) Oh, um, be warned.

It's pretty steamy.

- Oh.

(heels clacking)

- Hello.

- [Brody] How was your date?

- Good.

You okay?

- Got something to tell you.

- What is it?

- Jason and me and Bob,

I just wanna talk about where we are,

and I don't want you to get angry,

and I don't want you to turn me away.

- Brody, when have I ever turned you away?

(tender music)

Come on, I'm gonna make you a cup of tea

and you can tell me everything.

I've got a feeling I won't like everything I hear,

but we'll figure it out, okay?

(Brody sighs)

(faucet running)

(shoes clacking)

- Wait.

Wait right here. (chuckles) (Nina chuckling)

Okay.

- Oh. (chair rustling)

- [Harry] Now.

(Nina sighs)

- What's this?

Ooh.

- This is my favorite chair,

and it's literally the only piece of furniture I wanted

from that old life with Georgie.

I thought if I brought it, you'd know once

and for all that I am here.

This is where I wanna be.

(Harry chuckles)

God, sorry about dinner.

- (chuckles) I've had my fair share of moments

with my own family.

(Harry chuckles)

Darling, well,

I thought you were asleep. (Harry chuckles)

Come here. - Darling.

(cellphone ringing) (Nina chuckles)

(lips smack) (mellow music)

- [Nina] Hmm?

Hey, cutie. (cellphone continues ringing)

- Uh, sorry, it's Mum.

- It's fine.

Would you like me to warm some milk up?

- [Zoe] Yeah.

- Yeah. - Mum.

- [Harry] Yeah, I did.

- Can't exactly back me up with time.
