Original subtitles

- Bierkven Yaklarssen.

- Hello. Yes.

- Your industry is aspirational for us.

- I'd like you to meet my family.

- I'd love that.

- I have a plan to obsess this guy out of my life.

I just wish Dad was here.

This is exactly the kind of Proudman shenanigan

he would've loved.

- The secret's already out.

Billie knows, Nina knows,

and Will wants to get back together with you.

- We have to tell them at the same time.

- Maybe I should move back in.

- I had sex with Kerry.

- It is with great pleasure

that I introduce Professor Margot Lee.

You are so accomplished!

- But look at you.

You're practically running this hospital.

- I heard a rumor about the head of obstetrics job.

- Why haven't you applied?

- They're not gonna want me!

- We want you, though.

- Yeah. - Yeah.

(gentle upbeat music) (Nina scoffs)

(monitor beeps)

- [Nina] You'll feel a tugging sensation.

Little bit more pressure now.

Almost there.

- [Zoe] Look, Mummy, look!

- (gasps) I think I love that one more than the last!

- So lovely, Zoe. Oh, she's adorable.

- Thank you.

- Thank God we can bring them into work.

- Never see them otherwise.

What time is your board meeting?

- Oh, not for another hour.

- All right, here we are.

(gasps) What a gorgeous thesis!

(Zoe clapping hands) (gentle dramatic music)

(Nina sighs)

(Nina groans)

(gentle melancholic music)

Why am I going for this job I'm not even sure I want?

♪ Ooh, why, ooh, why ♪

♪ Oh, why won't you sing ♪

♪ To me ♪

♪ Oh, why, oh, why ♪

♪ Oh, why won't you sing ♪

- There we go, and some crust as. Wow! (chuckles)

- Hi. Yes?

- Yes. - Yes!

- Yes! (all three laugh)

You nervous?

- No, I've decided I'm not gonna bother with nerves.

- Good for you.

- It's just another day at work.

The interview's just one part of it.

It's gonna be a valuable experience

and if I don't get the promotion,

then I'll just keep doing the job that I genuinely love, so.

- So you can't lose.

- Exactly.

- And you are already doing the job.

- Mm.

- Zoe, Zoe. Zoe!

- Surprise! (Nina gasps)

Cupcake!

(Nina gasps) (Harry laughs)

- Cupcakes! - Good luck cupcakes.

- "Good uck Mum"?

Is there something missing?

- Zoe and I have been here for a little while.

- Oh, I love them, cheeky!

Thank you. Oh!

Right. Any last-minute tips?

- Just walk in there like you own the joint, 'cause you do.

(Nina laughs)

And if anyone even looks at you the wrong way.

- What are you gonna do? - Ooh, I don't know,

but it won't be pretty.

- Don't wee your pants.

(Harry and Nina laugh)

- I will try not to.

- It's okay if you do.

- Oh! - Bye.

- Bye. - Bye, Mummy!

- Bye, darling! - Good luck, Mum!

I think she liked them. Yeah.

(gentle bright music) (door thuds)

- Good morning. - Ah! Good morning.

- Oh! (chuckles) Aw.

Mm. They're from Martin.

- What's it say?

- "I have absolute faith in you."

- We all do. How you feeling?

- I've made a decision not to undermine myself

so I've decided to feel nothing.

- That sounds healthy.

- It's really helping with the nerves.

- Well, good!

Um, look, I don't wanna interrupt.

I just wanna pass on your personalized invitation

to Ray's birthday dinner tonight.

- (gasps) Did he make this himself?

- Mm-hmm, every single one.

It's taken weeks.

- Ooh! (giggles) Black tie?

- Yeah, sorry. That's Martin's fault.

I mean, apparently the two of them

been hosting formal dinner parties in the bush.

(Nina chuckles)

Look, I told him not everyone's got a full-length gown

or a cocktail dress with a hemline below the knee.

- Oh, you only turn 10 once.

We'll manage. - Oh, thank you.

- [Nina] Mm, I can't wait.

- And don't underestimate yourself.

(gentle dramatic music)

- Of course.

Yes, we can absolutely do that.

No, not at all. Thanks again.

Bye.

- [Billie] What was that?

- That was Bierkven Yaklarssen requesting

a lunch meeting today with you.

- Just me? - Mm.

- Why? - Didn't ask.

- Do you think he's?

- Interested in you? - Yeah.

- Possibly.

- So is this a business meeting or a date?

- Could be both.

- No, that's not good.

If he's expecting sexy back and forth,

he'll be sorely disappointed.

I'm suffering dire lack of form.

- Naus. - No, I'm not in tune.

I'm misreading all signals, incoming and outgoing.

I cannot be trusted on the flirty tightrope right now.

- Is this about Dan? - Yes.

- Hm. - I'm still reeling

from the no-show.

And I can't tell if I'm outraged that he rejected me

while I was attempting to reject him,

or if I actually really like him.

- Well, just treat it like a business meeting

and see what he wants.

- How did you go with Will,

telling him you-know-what last night?

- I couldn't do it.

Every, every time I try he gets distracted,

or I lose my nerve or both, and it's agony.

So I have asked him and Greg to join me

for a walk in the park this afternoon.

It is coming out today, no matter what.

- Good move, involving the dog.

He'll handle it better in front of Greg.

- My thoughts exactly.

- [Bierkven] I'll have the pinot, thanks.

- Excellent choice.

- Uh, I'm fine with water. Thank you.

(diners chattering)

- Did you know that this is one of my favorite restaurants?

- It's tempting to say yes,

I make it my business to cater for my clients' preferences,

professional and culinary,

but actually the truth is less calculated.

It just happens to be a favorite of mine.

- Well, you have excellent taste.

- As do you.

- Are you a fan of oysters? - Yes. And no.

I was, but I try not to overindulge when I'm working.

- That's a shame.

- Is it?

- The share plate's incredible.

- I'm sure I could keep down a couple.

- I don't wanna force you.

- Bierkven, I'm sorry, I find you freakishly attractive!

Even saying your name out loud is exciting,

but I'm romantically challenged right now.

My, my receptors are off and I'm beaming things out

in the wrong direction.

I- I'm not sure if oysters means sex

or if you're receiving sexual signals from me?

- I think you got the wrong end of the stick.

I'm incredibly attracted to Kerry in a sexual way,

and I didn't want that to impact

our potential working relationship.

- I will have that pinot.

Um, may I interpret your lack of attraction to me

as an indication that we could have

a good working relationship?

- Absolutely.

An associate of mine works for a pharmaceutical company

and she mentioned that they're looking

for a director of clinical governance.

- And you'd like to be that?

- Conflict of interest.

I thought you might like to source some candidates.

This is me scratching your back.

- I appreciate the opportunity and will not let you down.

(Jess sighs)

- (sighs) I feel really silly now.

- Oh, no, don't.

You absolutely did the right thing by coming in.

It's always best to be sure.

- And we are sure?

- As sure as we can be.

Baby's a great size for 36 weeks.

(Jess chuckles)

- Sorry, I'm just, you know,

now that it's happening, I'm really. (sighs)

- Pretty overwhelmed? - Yes.

(chuckles) I just, you know, I- I felt so capable

and I was so certain when I decided to do this.

And I knew I was gonna do it on my own

and now I'm just, I'm shit scared.

- I was alone when I had my daughter

and I was completely terrified of everything.

And the truth is, that terror never really goes away.

It gets worse. - Oh, great!

(both chuckle)

- I'm gonna be with you for the birth part.

- Oh!

Thank you. - It's a pleasure.

(soft upbeat music)

- How's the fish?

- It's confused.

How's the burger?

- It's pretty uncomfortable.

- What are we doing?

- Trying to be in the same room without hurting each other.

- Well, I'm still hurting.

- I know.

- You wanna go down? All right.

All right. (dog barking)

- Hey, Will. (sighs)

In the interests of full disclosure,

you need to know that while we were separated

I had a very brief, uncomfortable situation

with another man.

I was drunk, it was wrong,

it was a catastrophic momentary lack of judgment

and I could never forgive myself

if it came between you and I.

- Hey.

You had an awful experience with a stranger

while we were separated.

How could that possibly come between us?

Come here.

(Kerry sighs)

- Will, there's actually some.

(phone ringing) - Oh. Sorry.

- That's okay. Here.

- Can you? - Yeah, I can take him.

- Yeah, sorry. Yeah. - Hey.

- One sec, one sec.

Richard.

Uh, yeah, of course.

Fantastic, fantastic, mate.

No, absolutely, looking forward to it.

Yep. All right.

Thanks for the call, mate.

Sorry, I just. I have to make just one more.

- Go for it. - Ah!

(phone ringing)

- Who's that?

- Will.

- Well, get it.

- I don't want to.

- Well, what if I want you to get it?

(phone continues ringing)

- Hello.

- Jimmy!

- [Jimmy] Will.

- What's wrong? You sound weird.

- Sorry? No, I'm, I'm not weird.

- You sure?

Listen, mate.

I need to talk to you face-to-face.

It's urgent.

- Like, today urgent?

- Like, what are you doing right now?

- I- I'm, I'm just having lunch with Zara.

- Can you meet me at The Rose in half an hour?

It's important.

- Okay.

(birds chirping)

- [Will] I'm so sorry, I had to take that call.

- I- it's fine.

I've got to get back to work anyway.

So you go and enjoy your time with Jimmy.

- All right. - I can take him.

- Bye.

Bye. - See ya.

- All right. Bye, mate.

Bye, mate. Bye-bye!

- He knows.

Was there anything you would have liked to have heard

from me when I told you?

- You're asking me how to tell your brother

that you had a party pash and a prod

with his girlfriend while you were married to me?

- I withdraw the question.

(quirky upbeat music)

(knuckles rapping) - Come in. Billie!

- You got a minute?

- Um, not really.

I've got my interview in less than an hour.

- I knew that. (Nina sighs)

I'm here to help.

- Are you? - No, I need a favor,

but I'm happy to give you some pointers while I'm here.

Um, well, obviously don't sit like that.

Shoulders back.

Not too far back, don't get the girls involved.

Just nice and natural, fully poised.

Don't forget to breathe.

- Really? I perform emergency surgery and you're worried-

- You're not breathing right now.

- I would've taken a breath eventually on my own.

- Now, speak slowly and clearly,

and if you can, drop your voice.

Lower tones are more soothing.

- How low? - Not that low.

- Anything else?

- Uh, no, I think that's it.

Can we do me?

- Very briefly. - Okay, um, you know

how Kerry and I are moving

into the medical slash pharma universe?

Well, it's fallen to me

to source a director of clinical governance

for a global leader in the life sciences industry.

- (exclaims) Who?

- I am not at liberty to say. Tannhauser Pharmaceutical.

- Wow. - Exactly.

Now, I have unearthed two candidates

who are both exquisitely qualified and/or available,

but I still need at least one more name

to pad out the field so I'm throwing yours in.

- Mm-mm, I don't want to apply for a job

that I'm not interested in.

- You're not even getting an interview.

Your sole purpose is to make the other two look good.

You're a filler.

You're like a seat-filler at an awards thing.

- Sorry, we can do this later, because I have to prepare.

- Prepare. Center yourself.

- I was. - Feel your power.

Own your power.

(phone pinging)

Text from Dan. - Oh. (chuckles)

- "I need to see you."

No, thank you.

- Is that it? (phone pinging)

- "Please say you'll meet me for a sidecar at Spartacus."

- What's a sidecar?

- It's an extremely sophisticated cocktail.

(phone pinging)

"I need you to know that I would've severed my own arm

to have been there with you.

I can explain everything if you'll give me the chance."

Am I an idiot for wanting to hear what he has to say?

- Maybe, but I- I don't blame you for being curious.

- I'll go, but I won't tell him straightaway,

I'm gonna let him spiral into self-doubt first.

Oh, Neens? I would wish you luck but you don't need it.

You are the most capable person I have ever met.

- Oh.

- Sit up straight. - Yep.

(door thuds)

(soft upbeat music)

♪ Oh, yeah ♪

(vocalist singing faintly)

♪ Ooh, yeah, oh, my ♪

(Jimmy exhales sharply)

- Hey. - Hey.

- How's your day been?

- Okay, yeah.

- Well, I think I know.

Oh! Can I please get another beer?

Whatever's on tap? What are you drinking?

- Uh, anything. Beer, thanks.

You, wh- what do you know?

- And can we get another serve

of your sensational hot wings?

You've gotta try these.

- No, I'm, I'm not really hungry.

- You can have a taste of mine,

but you're gonna want more.

- Okay, get me the wings, thanks.

- You're gonna love 'em.

- All right. (waitress chuckles)

- Are you okay?

- Why am I here?

- Because I wanted to see your face when I told you.

Jimmy's Tacos.

When I sold it to the guy in Hong Kong,

well, I built in a little backend

in the case of franchise licensing.

Profit participation?

Okay, anyway, Jimmy's Tacos is expanding, and well,

this is the amount.

I'm gonna split it with you, as a way of saying sorry.

You don't look as happy as I thought you'd be.

- No, no, I- I just wasn't expecting.

- Look, I just, I don't want any bad blood between us.

I am so grateful to be part of this family.

The way you've all embraced me.

I love you, like a brother.

- I don't know what to say.

- Oh, you don't have to say it back.

I mean, you can if you want!

(Jimmy chuckles) I'm just kidding,

you don't have to, you don't have to say anything.

- No.

(gentle upbeat music)

- [Nina] Sit up straight.

Girls at ease.

Doesn't matter what happens.

I have nothing to lose.

I really don't care.

(elevator doors rattle)

(knuckles rapping)

- Doctor Proudman, please, take a seat.

- What is Elvis doing here?

(sighs) Good morning, everyone.

- [Members] Good afternoon.

- Oh, afternoon!

Sorry, I knew that because I just ate lunch, huh.

- We have quite a bit to get through

and of course you'll have the opportunity

to raise any queries you might have

at the end of the interview.

- Can't wait.

Not can't wait till the end of the interview,

just, like, I can't wait to raise any queries I may have.

Stop talking.

- All right, then.

Uh, why do you consider yourself

the best person for this position?

- That's a confronting question because it invites me

to either over or undersell myself.

I have built my career here at Saint Francis.

I have a thorough understanding of the processes

and the staff members, the culture.

I have respect for the team.

We work well together, which is important

given the nature of our work.

And I am already enjoying very much the challenges

of this position.

Oh, my God, I do care.

- I've gotta get back to work.

- Oh, uh, look, I- I'm worried about your dad.

I can't believe you've let it drag on like this.

- Let me guess, he's, he's sulking like a two-year-old.

- Of course he is, and you really upset him

and now you need to apologize.

- (sighs) Mum, I'm only gonna explain this one more time.

I haven't upset him.

- You keep telling yourself that.

- I did the job I was hired to do.

Okay? I didn't do it to upset him.

I did it for Kirsten and I did it for the business.

He's got a problem.

He needs to face it.

- I'm asking you to apologize for me.

- No, I'm not apologizing.

- Sometimes we have to apologize

for the sake of peace.

- Yes, but that tells him he doesn't need to change.

- You're exactly the same, the pair of you!

- I'm sorry.

- (gasps) Look how easy that was!

That's all I'm asking you to say.

- Bye, Mum.

(footsteps tapping)

- So it didn't get physical?

- He had no idea.

- Oh. Well, this is disappointing.

Come here.

- I thought he was toying with me,

trying to get me to say it first,

but he really had no idea.

And I just sat there,

knowing that I didn't have the balls to tell him.

What kind of asshole does that?

What was that for?

- I've decided how I feel about the incident.

And obviously I'm not thrilled

about what happened with you and Kerry,

and when I think about it it makes me feel ugh.

But then, then there's another feeling,

and it's relief.

At least we're even now.

Just kiss me.

- So does this mean you're coming home?

- Yes.

- Mm, mm.

Can I just say, for the record, I'm not sure we are even.

I mean, I was just mostly on the leg.

- Mm-hmm, mm-hmm.

- [Emma] How would you describe your weaknesses?

- Some of the areas I'm working to improve

would be a tendency to overthink.

I- I can be quite single-minded.

- And are you prepared to admit to any genuine weaknesses?

- I have had some difficulty acknowledging to myself

and articulating to others

the true extent of my professional ambition.

The prospect of broadening my contribution

as permanent head of department excites me very much.

- What do you find most frustrating about your current role?

- Well, Elvis. (chuckles)

- Doctor Kwan.

- Doctor Kwan, I think we could streamline

the integration of patient records.

I think it's worth exploring multi-platform access.

I am landing this.

(members clapping)

- Give me an N! - N!

- Give me an I! - I!

- Give me an N! - N!

- Give me an A! - A!

- [Members] Nina!

- The hours don't concern you

despite having a young child?

- No more than I imagine they concern you

despite having your young twins.

I hope this isn't condescending.

I do appreciate your concern

for my relationship with my child,

but I can assure you

that I would not be wasting your time or mine

if I were unable to tend to both

my personal and professional life.

That is so untrue.

Doesn't matter.

Look at his face.

- [Emma] And do you have any questions

or anything you'd like to raise?

- I'd just like to thank you for the opportunity.

I'm very proud of my work

and the relationships I've developed

here at Saint Francis.

And I look forward to expanding my role.

(phone chiming) (bright music)

Hi.

- Did you forget to breathe?

- Only once and no one even noticed.

I sat up straight, I spoke clearly and I think I crushed it.

- Oh, we can't say, "crushed it."

- Why not? - No one over 30 can.

But don't let that slow down the celebration train

'cause hey, hey, hey, woot, woot, go you!

- Hey, hey, hey, woot, woot?

Is that what we are now?

- Yes, also in breaking news, even if you were dreadful

and you don't get the job, don't even worry

because you also have an interview with Tannhauser.

- What? I thought I was a seat filler!

- Pretty sure you still are.

- Billie, whatever you've done, undo it.

I'm hanging up now.

(gentle upbeat music)

(door thuds) (Nina gasps)

- Hello, Nina.

- (chuckles) Doctor Kwan.

- I'm sorry if my, uh, formality in there

was a little bit difficult for you.

- No, not at all.

Well, it was a bit difficult.

But I understand.

- Well, I'm going to be a colleague

of the successful applicant.

(Nina scoffs)

- Oh, you love having power over me.

- I find it okay, actually.

Listen, (sighs) I shouldn't really be in here.

Don't tell anyone.

This is off the record.

I shouldn't be saying this.

I'm really scared of Schumaker,

so no one should know I'm here.

- Elvis, I won't tell anyone you've come in here,

even though you do so routinely every day for your job.

- Nina, you blew everyone's socks off.

- (gasping) Really?

It did feel good.

- So, well done.

They're thinking about making the offer very soon,

and I mean very soon.

- Oh.

- I was never here.

(gentle upbeat music)

(Nina giggles)

(door thuds)

(birds chirping)

- Um. Hey.

Uh, I didn't, um, hear you come in.

- [Billie] As you were. Just passing through.

- Don't. Um.

Actually, we were wondering

if we could ask you something.

- I'm just passing through.

I've, I've got a date.

- It won't take long.

- Okay, go.

- Did you wanna sit down?

- Do I need to?

- Maybe.

(birds chirping)

Is it okay if Jason moves in with us,

into my room, just for a little while

until we save up for a bond?

Please? He's got nowhere else to go.

- You're just gonna let her do your dirty work for you?

- No, that, that's why I'm here.

I wanna do the dirty work.

- And you wanna be here

because you've got nowhere else to go?

- And I wanna try to be a dad.

- This is not the end of the conversation.

There will be lists, provisos

and zero of this business on the couch.

- Thank you. - No worries.

Thank you! - Do not thank me.

I have not said yes.

(Brody giggles)

- Did you bring the grater?

- I'm sure Geraldine will have one.

- But it has to have small holes or the cheese won't work.

- [Cherie] The cheese will work no matter what, I promise.

- But it has to be perfect.

- I know.

It's your first big no-kids-allowed family dinner.

- I'm 10 now.

- (chuckles) Double digits, my baby.

And we're here to party. Come on!

(traffic whooshing)

(soft gentle music)

- Wow, it's good to see you.

I missed you so much.

- I'm only here because I thought

I might find your explanation entertaining

and I happen to feel like a sidecar.

- Well, I'm just glad you could make it.

- Not for long.

I have a date with a freakishly handsome

athlete slash poet slash billionaire philanthropist,

so if you could make this snappy.

- Well, I was on my way to see you and meet your family,

waiting at a set of lights

when a teenager carjacked the lady in front of me.

- Oh, my God.

- And as he dragged her out of the car, she's screaming,

"My baby's in there! My baby's in there!"

But he didn't care, he just took off.

I don't know if I told you, but I was in the Force.

- Police force? - 15 years before I got shot.

The point is, I've seen more than my fair share

of high-speed pursuits.

- Well, I was a stunt driver at Sandown, so.

- So you'll understand why I had to go after them.

- What choice did you have?

- Well, I followed him, apprehended him,

rescued the baby, who turned out to be a labradoodle,

and returned him to the safety of his mother's arms.

- I'm sorry. The, the baby was a dog?

- A rescue dog.

He was terrified, the poor little fella.

- Thank God you were there and no one was hurt.

- Unfortunately, someone was.

I didn't realize how bad it was

until I lost consciousness,

woke up in hospital a week later.

- I can't believe you never called me.

- He also stole my phone.

- You didn't remember my number?

- I was concussed!

- Dan, I'm so sorry.

- Ah, I don't blame you for moving on so quickly.

- Well, I'd assumed you'd died.

- I bet you went to a lot of effort.

Champagne, cake, balloons?

- I did.

- If only I'd been running late,

you and I could be married by now.

- I was gonna propose to you that night.

- I would've said yes.

(soft upbeat music)

I hope he knows how lucky he is.

You deserve to be happy.

- So do you.

- I love you, Billie.

- Thank you.

- I will never forget you.

- Nor I you.

(soft upbeat music) (crowd chattering)

(footsteps tapping)

(car door thuds)

- [Nina] I wonder if I'll hear today.

Come on, monkey.

Totes smashed it.

Yeah, totes.

Hello?

- Hey! - Hey, I'm sorry I'm late.

Did you get my message?

- I'm not wearing this for the fun of it.

(Nina gasps)

Although now I'm thinking I should take it off.

- [Nina] Yes.

- So I can help Zoe get ready while you get dressed.

No? - Yes!

Yeah, that'd be incredible.

Oh, you're incredible. Mm.

- So it went well?

- I think so.

I mean, it's, it's hard to tell what the outcome will be,

but I felt confident.

The pressure was exhilarating.

- Yeah.

(guests chattering and laughing)

- Up you go! Oh, yes! - There we go.

- Thank you.

(group chattering)

- [Cherie] Cheers.

- Delicious. - Yum!

Thank you. Thank you.

- Are you giving our futures?

- No worries. Came with me.

What are you up to, mate?

(Zara laughs)

- [Nina] Stop thinking about it.

Probably won't hear until tomorrow now.

- Hey, just so you know, if you don't get it,

I'm gonna egg the hospital.

- (gasps) You'd do that for me?

- I'm pretty scrappy. (Nina laughing)

- Thanks.

(guests chattering)

Billie, you all right?

- I finally understand

what it was like for you all this time.

Professionally I'm on fire,

but romantically I'm, I'm lost.

I'm confused.

It's like I'm, I'm stabbing blindly in the dark.

- Um, (clears throat) everybody?

- (clears throat) I just wanna thank you all

for being here to help me celebrate

the aus-picious occasion of my birthday with me.

Now, if you could please make your way to the dining area,

except for the kids.

I've set up a fun room for you all under-10's at the front.

(group exclaiming)

- Trying to get pregnant. - I am pregnant.

- Thank you. - Hang on.

- Hang on, I might just have one. Cheers.

- Hi. Sorry I'm late.

- That is really good.

(gasps) Ray.

- Thank you, Ray.

- Entree is served.

- Well done. (guests exclaiming)

- Mm! - Mm!

- Yum! - Oh, yeah.

- Yeah. - That's delicious.

- That's good, man. (romantic music)

- He's completely oblivious.

- Billie said she was definitely telling him today.

- Well, then she A, chickened out,

B, told him, he doesn't care,

C, told him, he does care,

he's an exceptional actor

and waiting for the right moment to gut you like a fish.

- [Cherie] He made it all by himself.

- [Guest] It's very creative.

(soft gentle music)

- Looks like he's taking it pretty well.

- I haven't told him.

(Kerry exhales sharply)

(gentle music)

- I still don't understand why you broke up.

- No one does. That's the whole point.

- What's the whole point?

- It's a kind of dance that defies explanation.

- Can't you just call him?

- That's not how it works.

It's, it's a very sophisticated contest of the mind.

- But if you broke up, didn't you just lose?

- You don't get it.

- No, I don't.

- Neither do I.

- [Will] It's unbelievable.

- Sorry?

- I'm s, I'm sorry, that was probably

a private conversation, but I overheard bits of it

and I don't mean to overstep,

but what is wrong with these blokes?

- Well, it was just the one bloke.

- No, I wish.

Look, Kerry told me about this guy

that she met while we were separated.

- Really? Who was that?

- Will. - No, no, no,

it's, it's not a big deal.

It's, and you have nothing to be ashamed about.

I just think it's ridiculous.

Um, you're both smart, funny, gutsy, gorgeous women,

you shouldn't have to go around

putting up with these dickheads.

Even if it was just a brief encounter.

- This pasta is incredible!

- It's salmonella.

(Geraldine coughs)

- Semolina. - Semolina.

God. (giggles)

(Cherie giggles)

- Look, all I'm saying is, with all due respect,

and I'm not suggesting

these conversations are easy by any means,

but is it the silence how these guys get away

with treating women like this?

- Will, please. - I mean,

Will makes a good point.

- Back me up here, Jimmy.

Look, I mean, there are better men.

(gentle music)

Am I speaking another language?

- [Billie] It's just.

- Probably not a good time.

- Oh, God. (panting) Sorry.

- Kerry, uh, are you all right?

- [Ray] Don't you like it?

- No, i- it's, it's great, Ray.

(gentle music)

Sorry.

- Um.

- What?

- This was not supposed to happen.

You were not meant to find out like this.

- And you knew?

- I'm on your side.

(gentle music)

- Oh, my God, you all knew?

- No, I didn't know.

- Neither did I.

- You know, maybe we could- - How could you

keep something like this from me?

Did you all just get together

and agree I couldn't handle it?

- No, I was supposed to tell you.

- Why do you treat me like I'm a child?

It's insulting and it's humiliating

and I don't know what I've done to deserve it.

- It's not your fault.

- Oh, I know that!

Jeez. Sorry, Ray.

- No worries.

- Is there anything else anyone thinks I can't handle?

- Uh, well. (clears throat)

Your mother's been smuggling misunderstood materials

into the country and um, and living in the attic.

- What?

- And she's pregnant with your child.

♪ Happy birthday ♪

♪ To you ♪

♪ Happy birthday to you ♪

♪ Happy birthday dear Ray ♪

♪ Happy birthday to you ♪

- Happy birthday, mate.

Save us some cake.

I- I'll be back.

(somber music)

- [Cherie] You gonna make a wish?

(Nina exclaims) (group clapping)

(gentle melancholic music)

- You let me sit there today

and tell you that I love you.

Do you know how many people I've said that to

in my entire life?

Five, including you.

And my grandparents.

- I am so sorry.

I understand if you don't wanna look at me or talk to me.

(gentle melancholic music)

- Here. I'm gonna put some more ice-cream in that.

- Well, he would've found out sooner or later.

- May not have been the best time

to drop the drug-mule-Marjorie bomb.

- Well, I thought it was telling secrets time.

- I can't just sit here anymore.

They've been out there long enough to kill each other

with their bare hands.

You coming?

(phone vibrates) (dog barking)

- Uh, no. I actually need to take this.

(Nina gasps)

(phone beeps)

Emma, hi!

- [Emma] Hello, how's the dinner party?

- Oh, it's lovely.

Thank you for asking.

- Look, I don't wanna keep you from your family

so I'll get straight to the point.

The panel has deliberated and it's not gonna go your way.

- Sorry?

- Your application was unsuccessful.

It hasn't been announced yet,

but it was a very difficult decision.

(wind whooshing)

- Oh, I'm, oh, I'm sure it was.

- Standard was very high.

I wanted to let you know as soon as possible as a friend

just in case you'd planned for a different outcome.

I'm so sorry, Nina.

- No, no, there's no need to apologize.

- I should let you get back to your family.

Enjoy the rest of your evening.

- Thanks again for letting me know.

(solemn music)

(phone beeps)

- I've been debating whether or not to say this,

so I'm gonna say it.

I'm very aware I may regret saying it,

we may all regret it, but here it is.

Grossly inappropriate behavior is a Proudman family trait.

- What does that mean?

- The end of the day, we've all done it.

Most of us have done it.

- Seriously?

I did not know this is part of having siblings.

(Will sighs) - Sorry to interrupt.

Ray was just wondering if you still wanted cake.

- Totally. - Absolutely.

- Will. I'm so sorry.

Do you wanna talk about it?

- Not yet.

- Do you want me to talk?

Do you want me to leave?

- Why should you get to leave?

I can't leave.

I wanna run away but I'm not going to.

I'm gonna go inside and have some birthday cake with Ray.

I don't know how we can move forward from here.

The two of us.

I can't feel it yet.

- I understand.

- And I know it's gonna be excruciating,

but right now I wanna go inside with you,

act like this never happened and be there for Ray.

- Then let's do that. - Let's do that.

(gentle melancholic music)

(family chuckling)

- So grown up all of the sudden.

- [Family] Aww!

- That one's from me, mate.

And Kerry.

Didn't know what to get you

so got all the stuff that I wanted.

So if you're not into anything.

- Love it all! (family laughs)

- Oh, Neens, um, I contacted Tannhauser Pharmaceuticals

to cancel your interview but it turns out

they'd already cut you.

- Oh. - So you don't have to worry

about it interfering with your promotion.

- [Nina] Double rejection.

- Can I open that one? - Of course you can.

- [Cherie] Don't need to ask.

- You okay?

(paper rustles) (family exclaims)

- I didn't get it.

Please don't react.

I don't wanna hijack any more attention away from Ray.

- Sweetheart! (Geraldine laughs)

- [Jimmy] Yeah!

- [Ray] This is awesome!

- Oh, my God, it is so awesome!

- Did Auntie Zara let you get this?

- (laughs) No, no, we didn't get you that.

- No, that one's from Neens and Zoe.

- Thanks, Nina!

- You should probably thank Harry

because I think he chose it.

- Thank you!

- No worries at all.

- I'm sorry you all have grown-up stuff going on,

like your business with Kerry.

I don't know why you're sad but I'm sorry you are.

The food didn't taste like it was supposed to.

I know it was gross.

- No, it wasn't!

- It kinda was. - No, it wasn't.

- It's okay, Mum.

I'm big enough to hear it.

- Okay, maybe it could have used less salt.

- Nah, I think it was quite tasty.

- It was disgusting.

- It was the worst thing I've ever eaten.

- I think I got a bit of poo in mine.

(all laughing)
