Original subtitles

Don't you want to dance with me?

Are you too shy?

Cause I can't deny no reason asking why.

The push, it's something about the push, big solo.

Sitting in the clouds with the sun down.

Never want the right to come down.

Never want the right to come down.

You said you were going to help me and now I have to face mum alone.

Text me.

Mum!

Mum!

Mum!

Mum!

Mum, can you... Babs!

Yeah.

Wait,

hold up. I didn't know that you played tennis.

Yeah, I was like a pale Serena Williams.

I made a fortune on records, but she wasn't very good.

Yeah, no, that makes sense.

Look at her.

Her arms are so short.

Ah, Pua, the last time you exercised was when we were wagging school and running

away from Mrs. Bickford. Oh, look, I don't know what she was talking about. I

was a star student.

Ma, make sure you cut those onions properly, eh?

Pua, you're actually supposed to be helping me? Oh no, leave her.

She's manuhiri. She's not manuhiri, her photo's on the wall.

Ma?

Have you heard from the law school about your bar results?

Um... Yeah.

Oh, no.

Oh, well.

You'll hear from them shortly.

And have you been approaching any law firms?

Yeah. Yeah? Oh, good on you, bubs.

So which ones are you looking at?

Oh, mostly just the good ones.

Yeah, no, she's been looking out um here thousands

Can you just give me like one name?

Ranginui Ranginui

He's a big shot lawyer at the bank and I managed to put in a good word for her.

Hopefully, good things will come from it.

Hmm.

Well, thank you very much, Pua.

But you shouldn't have. You should have let this one get off her and do it

herself.

Hey, chop the onions more evenly.

Mum, I know how to make mussel chowder. Yes, I know you do, but if the onions

are a different size, they'll burn.

To make a good mussel chowder, you need to start with a good foundation.

I know. Stop it.

I'm going to go and make the fried bread.

Thank you for doing the shopping, bub.

Oh, it's all good.

Hey, you fresh draw here today?

I'm gonna go do the math holds.

But... Hey, hey!

But what about... What about the onion?

You can't whirl with shit.

What is it?

No, nah.

Hey, Ma.

Hey, Al.

Have you seen him?

No, he's coming with you. No, he sent a text saying that he would come with you

guys. No, he didn't come with me.

All good?

Yeah.

Boys, stop.

Do you want to shoot this thing?

I don't know why she gets so moody. That's about her hair.

Yeah, I mean, you're not wrong.

Is it true about the lawyers?

No. Don't you know it was a lie?

Obviously.

So, she's just making a living from coffee?

Yeah. Oh.

You know, I hope she starts taking things seriously. She had such promise,

now she's... Tragic. Basic.

Unwise? Aimless.

Wahine mari.

We don't have time for that.

Heard to that.

Check those onions, please.

I don't cook.

Get.

Thank you.

Okay, tops.

On me.

Right here on the chest.

You sure this is a good idea?

Hey, Mark, can I just help you shelling the muscles?

No, you just keep doing what you're doing.

Oi, tops.

To defeat your enemy, you've got to know your enemy.

Wait, so your enemy is a water blaster?

Just kick me!

Get it off! Get it off! Get it off!

Oh, there.

Where did you come from?

I don't know.

Looking at the fan arcs, are we?

Yeah, this is my family too, I guess.

That's me.

Wow, Ma looks so young here.

Yeah, no, she does. That was when she went to that snobby school in the city.

When did she go to Wainui?

It was when they went broke. When Amalas were charged.

Touchy subject.

I didn't know that.

Ma's high -functioning preppy ass became the hot mess that we know and love

today after she came through the winery.

And who's this?

That's Bella. She's Domo's sister.

Her 60th in a couple months, so you should be there.

That's Uncle Nicola. Uncle Eddie.

That bitch over there. Bugs.

He related, but he's around often enough.

Much like I am.

This is Nanny Mariah.

She's whose man's named after.

Not too sure she's deserving of the name, but that's neither here or there.

And I don't know who this is.

That's my dad, James Aki.

I'm sorry that he died, Roy.

He looks happy, right?

I remember when it was his tangi oi, that was where you and I first met.

I loved it.

I mean, not I loved, that my dad was dead.

It's just that he never really kept in touch with any of his family. And then

when he died, all this whānau came out of nowhere.

Everyone was so welcoming.

I felt really loved.

Told you it was a good idea.

Hey, Topherty.

How are you?

All right.

Keep your flaps in your pants.

I heard you had your bare ass on the internet the other day.

Teach them right.

How's the bank?

Fantastic. I'm not sure if you've heard, but... I have a new promotion.

Oh, yeah, Mark said it hasn't been going very well.

No, yeah, no, it's going fine.

It's going fine. Mark said that you were going to get put into mortgage

repayments or something, and they put you in diversity and inclusions.

Maybe, but it's all right, yeah.

I don't know why you work for those people.

They don't care about you. You know, all they do is use people and keep them in

a system that benefits the rich.

Yeah, all right. So, look, I work at a bank, yeah? So what happens is people

come and they give their money. I take care of their money. That's it.

Not me.

I bury my money.

Okay, so you're not Pablo Escobar, B. Put your money in a bank, please. And

besides, like, how do you pay your taxes?

Don't answer that.

Why would I give to a bank, the government, when all they're going to do

the oppression of my people?

Oh, jeez. Look, this is the system that we've got, yeah? You know, stressing

about it too much makes you age faster.

And besides, I'm just trying to get what I can get.

Is that what you're doing?

Yeah, I'm moving up.

To diversity inclusions.

diverse, community advisor.

That's my role.

Ma says that your boss thinks you're Māori and you haven't told him that

not.

Yeah, well, Ma's a dumb bitch anyways. And besides, he has a copy of my CV. If

he wants to go look at my ethnicity, he could do that whenever he wants.

It's a dark path, Pua.

In times like these, I think to myself, what are my principles?

Principles.

Principles? All right, let's go.

Look at you and then look at me, okay?

I mean, we're sitting here in the backyard where you got to find yourself.

Well, I was dropped in the middle of Whitby Intermediate from the fucking

islands, yeah?

I'm just glad that I'm not having to do worse things for money, so don't do

that, Tafiti.

Don't do that because we're not the same.

Okay.

That's what you want to believe?

Yeah, that is what I believe. And you know what else? I have money.

I have a future, and you have got a fucking call case for shitting in the

of the street, all right?

Shit.

I think we're about 30 minutes off eating.

I'm having so much fun.

You're just peeling potatoes, Liz, but whatever keeps you happy.

Peeling vegetables is the backbone of any great meal.

You're doing a fabulous job, Liz.

And you are a whiz in the kitchen, bub.

How's Dad?

Oh, yeah, he's good.

He's another month in Wanganui.

Oh, you're here alone for another month?

Yeah, but I wouldn't be alone if you came to visit me. And I could help you

your job search.

Oh, my gosh, you can't go 30 seconds without getting into that.

I'd like to spend more time with you, bub.

You know, as you get older, you just don't have time for me anymore.

I do like to spend time with you, but every time I come over, it's like, do

onions, and where's your hair, and blah.

Yeah, but did the onions burn?

No, but that's not the point.

Come on now, just teasing you.

I love it when we're cooking together. I love you two too, we know what it's

like. Yeah, I still do.

Kia ora, lady.

Hōhepa. Oh my word.

How are you? Good.

How are you?

You know me. I'm the straight and narrow.

Can I pour you a rum?

Yeah, okay. I'm just going kare paku. Keep an eye on this one, eh?

Yeah.

So...

So can I help? Yeah, just put some salt on the roast vegetables.

Yeah. Oh.

Sorry. It's all right.

I don't mind that bit.

What?

Nothing.

You get out.

Finished. I finished the potatoes.

Thanks, Liz.

Oh. Hey.

Hey, where you been?

I've been taking everyone to see where you was.

I'm just putting in my hair right now.

Chill. Everything feel good?

Mm -hmm. Want a beer?

Uh, yeah.

Go,

go, go, go, go, go, go. Wait, get out of the kitchen.

She's happy.

Thank you so much for coming to Humble Waianui -a -Mata to have your whānau

dinner.

I know we had to entice some of you with free kai.

It is so lovely to have you in our whare. Look at you, growing into lovely

people.

Hōhepa, working for the Ministry of Justice, looking after our people. And

reconnecting with whānau.

Tāwhiti, making sure that our government stays accountable.

And Pua.

She's just got a new promotion. Well, she's a wizard with numbers.

And Neko, a kaiako, leading the young leaders of the future.

And Ma, for making this beautiful kai.

Well, I think I've had enough to say.

Neko, karakia, please.

So there was Uncle Blackie, Uncle Froggy, and Uncle Pat.

Pat. I had a look at all the photos in your hallway.

Dad's one is up there.

Of course he is. But I know. Wait. Oh, fuck, what's the problem now?

Uncle, how the heck over there?

Oh, he was spouting out some nonsense about me being a pilot's assistant.

Who cares? It's just tough. I care because it's my job.

And Ma, with all her awards. She's such a star, that one.

Yeah, now I just make the kai.

Why do you care?

You told me you don't like your job.

I'm like, I like my job.

What, diverse community advisor?

Your dad wore red.

What's going on over there?

Nothing.

He taught me everything I know about style.

You did a good job on those potatoes, Liz.

You've produced such talented children, Emily.

Oh, thank you, Liz.

Hey. We must get an updated photo of your dad on the wall, eh?

Oh, yes please.

What about your mum?

I don't have a mum.

No mum.

Everyone's got a mum.

Ouch!

Me and my dad moved back from Aussie when I was four.

And my mum stayed over there and that's all I know.

Oh, that korotaki Sharon.

She had rocks for brains.

Oh, sorry Liz.

It's okay.

You knew her better than I did.

Ma, you got your prof results back yet?

Uh, you already asked me that.

Mō taku he, bub.

Why do you call me that?

What?

Bub.

Yeah, I'm not a baby.

I'm the oldest.

Yeah, but you're my only girl. So, Tawhiti's your only boy. You don't call

bub. Oh, have you got your period?

Is that why you're so moody?

I'm not in the mood. It's just, I'm not a kid anymore. You don't have to call me

bubs. Oh, don't be ridiculous. I call everyone bubs.

No, you don't.

You don't call Tawhiti bubs or Pua or Liz.

It's just me.

Motakuhe bubs. Stop dismissing everything I say. It's so frustrating.

Could we just get through one dinner, please?

Oh, sorry. I forgot. Maybe I should go make some kai.

Oh, you pull your head in.

I have not taught you to act like this in front of Manuhiri.

They're hardly manuhiri.

Mariah.

What do you mean?

Eh? Speak up.

Sorry, Mum.

I need a pee.

Have you ever smoked?

I have had a night.

Oh, nothing can outdo my night.

Tawhiti got arrested.

Again?

Well, he was running around naked in the middle of the street.

And I was at that dinner thing.

Oh, shit.

Yeah. The dinner.

How did that go?

Fucking terrible.

His sister had a go at me for not being the right Māori for her brother.

You can't listen to that shit.

Nobody should tell anybody that they're not good enough for somebody who comes

to a party dressed as a Māori hawk.

Oh, my life is a mess.

You and me both.

You got your shit together at least.

Oh, not all the time.

Whatever.

I got it.
