1
00:00:01,000 --> 00:00:02,360
My name is Margie Argyle
2
00:00:02,360 --> 00:00:05,880
and I've been the artistic director
of The Argyle Theatre for six years.
3
00:00:05,880 --> 00:00:09,360
The theatre we make -
it's uncompromising, it's urgent,
4
00:00:09,360 --> 00:00:10,720
it's visceral.
5
00:00:10,720 --> 00:00:14,200
Oh... (SCOFFS SOFTLY)
I think 'humourless' is a bit unfair.
6
00:00:14,200 --> 00:00:16,120
Money is the death of creativity.
7
00:00:16,120 --> 00:00:18,840
Actually, I remember once
I was, like, freestyle monologuing
8
00:00:18,840 --> 00:00:20,120
about death and decay
9
00:00:20,120 --> 00:00:22,440
and someone goes, "Oh, Margie,
there's a man out the front
10
00:00:22,440 --> 00:00:24,600
"who says you haven't paid
for your Uber Eats,"
11
00:00:24,600 --> 00:00:27,240
and I just immediately
lost my train of thought.
12
00:00:27,240 --> 00:00:29,520
It's like, "Oh, great now I'm just
sitting here with a banh mi."
13
00:00:29,520 --> 00:00:30,720
You know, "Thanks a lot."
14
00:00:30,720 --> 00:00:31,720
Mm-hm.
15
00:00:31,720 --> 00:00:33,920
I think our next season
launching tomorrow night
16
00:00:33,920 --> 00:00:36,480
is probably our most challenging yet.
17
00:00:36,480 --> 00:00:37,640
Margie!
Like, if you...
18
00:00:37,640 --> 00:00:38,800
Sorry.
19
00:00:38,800 --> 00:00:40,120
Sorry, everyone.
(SIGHS HEAVILY)
20
00:00:40,120 --> 00:00:41,360
Looks cool, though.
21
00:00:41,360 --> 00:00:43,240
I am so sorry.
Could you just give me a minute?
22
00:00:43,240 --> 00:00:44,720
We'll probably leave it there.
Let's cut.
23
00:00:44,720 --> 00:00:45,920
Oh, no, no, don't cut.
24
00:00:45,920 --> 00:00:47,120
No, we've got it. Let's pack up.
25
00:00:47,120 --> 00:00:48,120
Thank God that's over.
26
00:00:48,120 --> 00:00:49,520
Thanks a lot, Christian.
27
00:00:49,520 --> 00:00:50,880
I had a lot more to say to them.
28
00:00:50,880 --> 00:00:52,800
We just, uh... We need you
in a meeting with the CEO
29
00:00:52,800 --> 00:00:54,320
about half an hour ago.
30
00:00:54,320 --> 00:00:55,520
Oh, God, what does he want?
31
00:00:55,520 --> 00:00:58,600
He wants you to sign off on the
program for tomorrow night's launch.
32
00:00:58,600 --> 00:01:00,960
Mm, yeah,
this has strong admin energy.
33
00:01:00,960 --> 00:01:01,960
Sorry about that.
OK.
34
00:01:01,960 --> 00:01:02,960
Alright, come on.
Yep.
35
00:01:02,960 --> 00:01:04,880
Let's go. Let's feed
the capitalist machine then.
36
00:01:04,880 --> 00:01:08,240
(THEME MUSIC PLAYS)
37
00:01:08,240 --> 00:01:10,480
I didn't know you had an interview.
It's not in the diary.
38
00:01:10,480 --> 00:01:11,840
It's in MY diary.
39
00:01:11,840 --> 00:01:13,520
Went for three hours.
Is that normal?
40
00:01:13,520 --> 00:01:16,160
Daniel! I'm so sorry.
41
00:01:16,160 --> 00:01:18,880
I've just been sitting in
a really creative space this morning.
42
00:01:18,880 --> 00:01:21,080
Well, I've been sitting here
for about half an hour.
43
00:01:21,080 --> 00:01:22,080
OK.
(WHISPERS) Sorry.
44
00:01:22,080 --> 00:01:23,200
Alright. Let's have a look.
45
00:01:23,200 --> 00:01:25,360
There we go.
Give me the program.
46
00:01:25,360 --> 00:01:26,960
Best program yet, I reckon.
47
00:01:26,960 --> 00:01:28,440
Ohh!
48
00:01:29,520 --> 00:01:31,160
Great pic.
49
00:01:31,160 --> 00:01:33,400
Remember - this launch is tomorrow,
Margie.
50
00:01:33,400 --> 00:01:34,760
Tsk!
51
00:01:34,760 --> 00:01:36,120
Yeah, look, I'm still not happy
52
00:01:36,120 --> 00:01:38,680
about Grease
being the big show next season.
53
00:01:38,680 --> 00:01:40,760
Like, really - Australia's
premier avant-garde theatre,
54
00:01:40,760 --> 00:01:42,240
and we're doing Grease?
55
00:01:42,240 --> 00:01:43,400
It's trash.
Oh, God.
56
00:01:43,400 --> 00:01:45,000
Papa would be turning in his grave.
57
00:01:45,000 --> 00:01:47,040
Margie, we agreed on this weeks ago.
58
00:01:47,040 --> 00:01:50,000
Carmel says the board needs
a commercial hit with a big name.
59
00:01:50,000 --> 00:01:52,880
OK, so, why are you
letting the chair of the board
60
00:01:52,880 --> 00:01:54,680
tell the artistic director
what to do?
61
00:01:54,680 --> 00:01:57,720
There's a lot of your experimental
stuff in here, Margie.
62
00:01:57,720 --> 00:02:00,640
Look - three plays
with full-frontal nudity.
63
00:02:00,640 --> 00:02:01,960
It loses subscribers.
64
00:02:01,960 --> 00:02:03,040
Says you.
65
00:02:03,040 --> 00:02:06,280
No, I'm here to push boundaries,
and I am unapologetic about that.
66
00:02:06,280 --> 00:02:08,040
I don't think you understand
the seriousness
67
00:02:08,040 --> 00:02:09,720
of our financial situation.
68
00:02:09,720 --> 00:02:13,040
And, I'll be honest, a lot of
the mismanagement leads back to you.
69
00:02:13,040 --> 00:02:14,160
OK.
70
00:02:14,160 --> 00:02:16,080
Do you think
when my father started this place...
71
00:02:16,080 --> 00:02:17,280
Ah, here we go.
No, no, no.
72
00:02:17,280 --> 00:02:19,440
When he was doing work like this,
73
00:02:19,440 --> 00:02:21,400
OK, do you think
he was thinking about money?
74
00:02:21,400 --> 00:02:22,960
We lived and breathed theatre.
75
00:02:22,960 --> 00:02:25,320
I basically lived under this desk
when I was a child
76
00:02:25,320 --> 00:02:27,360
and I would listen to my father
downstairs
77
00:02:27,360 --> 00:02:29,920
ploughing the craft all night!
78
00:02:32,760 --> 00:02:34,200
We're doing Grease.
79
00:02:34,200 --> 00:02:36,800
No, I'm sorry, Daniel.
I've made a decision this morning.
80
00:02:36,800 --> 00:02:37,880
We're not doing Grease.
81
00:02:37,880 --> 00:02:39,480
I've got a bigger idea.
82
00:02:39,480 --> 00:02:40,760
I think I'm having a panic attack.
83
00:02:40,760 --> 00:02:42,200
We're not redesigning the guide.
84
00:02:42,200 --> 00:02:43,360
The discussion is over.
85
00:02:43,360 --> 00:02:45,520
Excuse me if I'm not inclined
to listen to someone
86
00:02:45,520 --> 00:02:47,000
who eats Nando's for breakfast
87
00:02:47,000 --> 00:02:49,600
and scrolls realestate.com
on the toilet.
88
00:02:49,600 --> 00:02:50,600
OK.
89
00:02:51,600 --> 00:02:52,600
I'm out.
90
00:02:53,600 --> 00:02:55,720
(STAMMERS) Out...
91
00:02:55,720 --> 00:02:57,160
Out of the meeting or...
92
00:02:57,160 --> 00:02:58,400
Does he mean out of this meeting?
93
00:02:58,400 --> 00:02:59,760
Actually...
94
00:02:59,760 --> 00:03:01,280
..I'm allowed to change my mind!
95
00:03:01,280 --> 00:03:03,800
You don't understand
the artistic process, Daniel!
96
00:03:03,800 --> 00:03:06,560
And, by the way,
no-one wants to see you nude.
97
00:03:06,560 --> 00:03:08,280
OK?
Well, let's not generalise.
98
00:03:08,280 --> 00:03:11,360
We've all seen it from every angle,
back and front and bent over.
99
00:03:11,360 --> 00:03:13,480
I've seen more of YOU
than my own wife.
100
00:03:13,480 --> 00:03:15,760
Toxic! Toxic masculinity!
101
00:03:15,760 --> 00:03:17,040
Good luck finding anyone else
102
00:03:17,040 --> 00:03:19,800
who can deal
with the great Margie Argyle.
103
00:03:19,800 --> 00:03:21,200
Ohh...
104
00:03:22,200 --> 00:03:24,400
OK. Mary.
105
00:03:24,400 --> 00:03:27,360
Unfortunately, due to a series
of strategic realignments,
106
00:03:27,360 --> 00:03:30,960
your position at this organisation
no longer exists.
107
00:03:30,960 --> 00:03:35,200
Full details of your redundancy
are in this information pack.
108
00:03:35,200 --> 00:03:37,360
Julia, please, I'm 65.
109
00:03:37,360 --> 00:03:38,360
Mm, I know.
110
00:03:38,360 --> 00:03:39,800
I'm your mentor.
111
00:03:39,800 --> 00:03:43,120
So, you must know what I'm about to
say next, which is "No further..."
112
00:03:43,120 --> 00:03:46,280
BOTH:
"Discussion will be entered into."
113
00:03:46,280 --> 00:03:47,920
That's right.
That is one of mine.
114
00:03:47,920 --> 00:03:49,640
Yep. Classic Mary.
115
00:03:49,640 --> 00:03:52,400
Alright, that's the awkwardness
over, so, how's things at home?
116
00:03:52,400 --> 00:03:53,480
How's Graham?
117
00:03:53,480 --> 00:03:55,480
Roger?
Your husband, yes.
118
00:03:55,480 --> 00:03:56,480
He died.
119
00:03:57,480 --> 00:03:59,040
Are you sure?
That's not in my notes.
120
00:03:59,040 --> 00:04:00,040
(KNOCK AT DOOR)
121
00:04:01,040 --> 00:04:02,040
Carmel!
122
00:04:02,040 --> 00:04:03,200
Quick word in your office, Julia.
123
00:04:03,200 --> 00:04:04,560
Now?
Yes. Now.
124
00:04:04,560 --> 00:04:05,720
Won't be a moment.
125
00:04:05,720 --> 00:04:06,920
How are you, Mary?
126
00:04:06,920 --> 00:04:08,080
Oh...
She's fine.
127
00:04:08,080 --> 00:04:10,280
Husband died, so, she's a bit sad.
Take a moment.
128
00:04:10,280 --> 00:04:12,080
(WHISPERS)
But out by the end of the day.
129
00:04:13,440 --> 00:04:14,680
It's all lies, Mum.
130
00:04:14,680 --> 00:04:17,160
Can't believe the CEO of a bank
just, like, literally lies.
131
00:04:17,160 --> 00:04:19,800
She's literally lying, like...
Just let me handle it.
132
00:04:19,800 --> 00:04:20,800
Fine.
133
00:04:20,800 --> 00:04:24,160
It seems that Ryan, in his capacity
in the lending centre,
134
00:04:24,160 --> 00:04:26,320
has wiped
a customer's personal loans.
135
00:04:26,320 --> 00:04:27,360
Tom McNamara.
136
00:04:28,480 --> 00:04:30,400
Is that your ex-husband, Julia?
137
00:04:30,400 --> 00:04:32,520
Ex-husband, yes.
138
00:04:32,520 --> 00:04:35,000
What have you done?
What? He's got a new start-up.
139
00:04:35,000 --> 00:04:36,480
Get this, though -
edible coffee cups,
140
00:04:36,480 --> 00:04:37,920
so, you finish the coffee...
Oh... Just...
141
00:04:37,920 --> 00:04:39,760
Edible coffee cups already exist.
142
00:04:39,760 --> 00:04:40,840
You can't start that up.
143
00:04:40,840 --> 00:04:42,280
Well, I'm glad I did it anyway.
144
00:04:42,280 --> 00:04:44,040
It was a legend move, so...
145
00:04:44,040 --> 00:04:45,840
Obviously,
the police will have to be called.
146
00:04:47,040 --> 00:04:48,240
Police? Mum?
147
00:04:48,240 --> 00:04:50,080
That's, like, prison.
Oh, stop it.
148
00:04:50,080 --> 00:04:52,000
I'm going to prison.
No-one's going to prison.
149
00:04:52,000 --> 00:04:53,000
Are they?
150
00:04:53,000 --> 00:04:54,720
What do you think of theatre, Julia?
151
00:04:54,720 --> 00:04:55,720
Theatre?
152
00:04:55,720 --> 00:04:57,760
(CHORTLES) Didn't realise
they were still doing it.
153
00:04:57,760 --> 00:05:00,440
I mean, don't we all
just watch Netflix now?
154
00:05:00,440 --> 00:05:03,400
I am the chair of a fantastic
little theatre, The Argyle.
155
00:05:03,400 --> 00:05:04,760
You will have heard of it.
No.
156
00:05:04,760 --> 00:05:06,320
And we just lost our CEO.
157
00:05:06,320 --> 00:05:08,440
He was so sad to go.
Mm-hm.
158
00:05:08,440 --> 00:05:11,880
But I think that YOU
would be perfect to take over.
159
00:05:11,880 --> 00:05:14,320
Oh, I'm sorry. Is this a joke?
160
00:05:14,320 --> 00:05:15,520
Am I on candid camera?
161
00:05:15,520 --> 00:05:17,200
(SNICKERS) No.
162
00:05:17,200 --> 00:05:18,520
What's Candid Camera?
163
00:05:18,520 --> 00:05:21,080
Just come over and fill in
until the new CEO starts,
164
00:05:21,080 --> 00:05:22,920
and then we can forget
all about this.
165
00:05:22,920 --> 00:05:24,440
Seriously, Mum,
what is Candid Camera?
166
00:05:24,440 --> 00:05:25,880
OTHERS: Shut up.
167
00:05:26,880 --> 00:05:28,120
Let's just talk outside.
168
00:05:28,120 --> 00:05:30,600
Don't touch any of those computers,
Ryan.
169
00:05:32,080 --> 00:05:33,520
Theatre?
170
00:05:33,520 --> 00:05:34,560
I don't know.
171
00:05:34,560 --> 00:05:37,880
Oh, come on, Carmel.
I tripled profit last quarter.
172
00:05:37,880 --> 00:05:40,440
Yes, we're all aware
of your bulging trophy capital.
173
00:05:40,440 --> 00:05:42,240
And I got rid of family leave.
174
00:05:42,240 --> 00:05:46,080
Look, The Argyle is having
a few tiny financial issues,
175
00:05:46,080 --> 00:05:48,000
but you'll iron them out in no time.
176
00:05:48,000 --> 00:05:50,120
And when I do iron out
these tiny financial issues,
177
00:05:50,120 --> 00:05:51,360
I get my job back, yes?
178
00:05:51,360 --> 00:05:52,480
Yes, yes, yes.
179
00:05:52,480 --> 00:05:53,640
And Ryan does too?
180
00:05:53,640 --> 00:05:55,040
You will love it.
181
00:05:55,040 --> 00:05:57,800
And they have a really dynamic
artistic director.
182
00:05:59,760 --> 00:06:02,200

Approved! Approved! Approved!
185
00:06:05,320 --> 00:06:07,280
Good news, everyone - I'm in charge.
186
00:06:07,280 --> 00:06:09,800
OK? So, we're not gonna have someone
telling us there's no money
187
00:06:09,800 --> 00:06:11,480
for the things we need
to make our art.
188
00:06:11,480 --> 00:06:12,880
There actually is no money, though,
189
00:06:12,880 --> 00:06:14,840
so, have your fun,
it's good to have fun.
190
00:06:14,840 --> 00:06:15,840

192
00:06:16,840 --> 00:06:17,960
Jacob, Jacob, Jacob.
Yeah.
193
00:06:17,960 --> 00:06:19,520
I've cancelled Grease.
194
00:06:19,520 --> 00:06:20,520
Thank God.
195
00:06:20,520 --> 00:06:22,120
Guess what we're gonna do instead.
What?
196
00:06:22,120 --> 00:06:25,280
Le Paysan A Moitie Enterre.
197
00:06:25,280 --> 00:06:26,280
Sorry, what?
198
00:06:26,280 --> 00:06:28,400
Yep, starring me, directed by me.
199
00:06:28,400 --> 00:06:29,840
Um... You'll be stunning.
Yeah.
200
00:06:29,840 --> 00:06:32,040
Are you saying you're gonna do
The Half-Buried Peasant show?
201
00:06:32,040 --> 00:06:35,080
Yes, Christian. First person to
attempt it since Papa. First woman.
202
00:06:35,080 --> 00:06:38,240
But it's an obscure
18th-century French play.
203
00:06:38,240 --> 00:06:39,960
Yeah. And it goes for four hours.
204
00:06:39,960 --> 00:06:42,760
And it involves
dumping two tonnes of sand on stage.
205
00:06:42,760 --> 00:06:44,120
Eight tonnes.
206
00:06:44,120 --> 00:06:45,320
I need eight tonnes.
207
00:06:45,320 --> 00:06:46,880
Well, you'll never
get the board to sign off
208
00:06:46,880 --> 00:06:49,280
on that one, so...
(SIGHS) Christian...
209
00:06:49,280 --> 00:06:51,720
..I feel like
you're just still struggling
210
00:06:51,720 --> 00:06:54,640
with the fact
that nothing blossomed between us.
211
00:06:54,640 --> 00:06:56,360
Oh... I'm...
Sure, you know, we had fun.
212
00:06:56,360 --> 00:06:58,040
It was one night.
213
00:06:58,040 --> 00:07:00,400
I might leave you to it, guys.
214
00:07:00,400 --> 00:07:01,560
OK.
Yep.
215
00:07:01,560 --> 00:07:02,880
Excuse me.
Who's that?
216
00:07:02,880 --> 00:07:04,640
(QUIETLY) I don't know.
(QUIETLY) OK.
217
00:07:04,640 --> 00:07:06,920
You know, this is bigger than us.
218
00:07:06,920 --> 00:07:09,360
Can you just support me, please?
219
00:07:09,360 --> 00:07:10,920
I have to do my job.
220
00:07:10,920 --> 00:07:12,840
I'm sorry.
No, no. Yeah, great, do your job.
221
00:07:12,840 --> 00:07:14,320
I have to do my job.
Do your little job.
222
00:07:14,320 --> 00:07:16,000
No, good decision. Mm.
It's not personal.
223
00:07:16,000 --> 00:07:18,400
No, I'll bring Donna in on it
instead.
224
00:07:18,400 --> 00:07:20,120
Donna!
225
00:07:20,120 --> 00:07:21,720
Donna!
(EXHALES HEAVILY)

I have lost my job,

How could you ask Ryan to do that?

I didn't, I just said
229
00:07:27,160 --> 00:07:29,280
it was something someone COULD do
if they worked at a bank.
230
00:07:29,280 --> 00:07:31,880
Oh, please. You know
how insecure and gullible he is.

00:07:31,880 --> 00:07:32,880
Hey!

00:07:32,880 --> 00:07:34,760
I'm talking about someone else.
Oh. Sweet.

Now he's hung up on me. Wonderful.
236
00:07:39,000 --> 00:07:41,520
Are you even going to apologise
for committing fraud?
237
00:07:41,520 --> 00:07:44,080
Oh! Sorry for committing fraud.
238
00:07:44,080 --> 00:07:45,760
This is serious, Ryan.
239
00:07:45,760 --> 00:07:48,640
After all the expensive schools
and the tutors.
240
00:07:48,640 --> 00:07:50,680
Yeah, and this is all stuff
that YOU wanted.
241
00:07:50,680 --> 00:07:52,760
I'm really disappointed.

243
00:07:54,000 --> 00:07:55,480
I now have to go and work
at a theatre.

The work we make -

it's uncompromising, it's urgent,

00:08:11,600 --> 00:08:13,400
it's visceral.
252
00:08:13,400 --> 00:08:17,840
I think our next season
is probably our most challenging yet.
253
00:08:17,840 --> 00:08:19,320
Don't miss it.

last night.

Yeah, I stayed at a friend's house.
Ah...

Which friend was that?

really tight and congested.

tell the group a bit about yourself?

Then we'll go around the circle.

What defines Julia McNamara?
317
00:10:25,720 --> 00:10:27,760
I know what it is. It's a grind set.

but I'm grinding.

320
00:10:31,520 --> 00:10:33,720
Do not stop the grind
until I get results.
321
00:10:33,720 --> 00:10:36,040
And that's how I have expanded
the operational bandwidth

about grinding.

to J-Mac.

00:11:26,040 --> 00:11:28,920
with the universality
of our biological makeup
350
00:11:28,920 --> 00:11:31,840
combined with a collective sense
of the sublime.
351
00:11:31,840 --> 00:11:33,360
Sorry, what does that mean?
352
00:11:33,360 --> 00:11:35,480
(OTHERS SNAP FINGERS)
Welcome to the arts, basically.
353
00:11:35,480 --> 00:11:36,800
So, that's me!
354
00:11:36,800 --> 00:11:38,120
I'll go next.
355
00:11:38,120 --> 00:11:39,720
Christian Miller, marketing...
356
00:11:39,720 --> 00:11:41,920
Yeah, look, we probably don't
have time to go around everyone.
357
00:11:41,920 --> 00:11:42,920
I'll keep it moving.
358
00:11:42,920 --> 00:11:47,640
So, tonight is the VIP launch
of our new season program!
359
00:11:47,640 --> 00:11:49,480
(WHISTLES)
Yeah!
360
00:11:49,480 --> 00:11:51,680
Yes, we're gonna have champagne.
361
00:11:51,680 --> 00:11:53,280
There'll be roving performances.
362
00:11:53,280 --> 00:11:54,880
We've got copious totes.
363
00:11:54,880 --> 00:11:55,880
Copious totes.
364
00:11:55,880 --> 00:11:57,120
There's some fun stuff in there -
365
00:11:57,120 --> 00:12:00,040
drink bottles, fidget spinner,
do-it-yourself moon cup.
366
00:12:00,040 --> 00:12:01,720
All Grease-themed, by the way.
367
00:12:01,720 --> 00:12:03,480
Let's not forget.
Mm. It is, yep.
368
00:12:03,480 --> 00:12:06,960
Anyway, this is where
we come together as a group...
369
00:12:06,960 --> 00:12:07,960
(CLAPS)
370
00:12:07,960 --> 00:12:09,040
..and we start...
371
00:12:09,040 --> 00:12:10,040
Oh...
372
00:12:10,040 --> 00:12:14,360
(GROUP CLAPS RHYTHMICALLY)
..to be the beat of the same drum.
373
00:12:14,360 --> 00:12:15,480
E-o! E-o!
374
00:12:15,480 --> 00:12:16,480

E-o! E-o!
Oo-oo!
377
00:12:19,960 --> 00:12:21,600
E-o! E-o!
Oo-oo!
378
00:12:21,600 --> 00:12:22,960
Margie, I...
E-o! E-o!
379
00:12:22,960 --> 00:12:23,960
Oo-oo!
380
00:12:23,960 --> 00:12:26,520
I'm sorry, how long
does this usually go for?
381
00:12:26,520 --> 00:12:28,080
20 minutes usually.
382
00:12:28,080 --> 00:12:29,480
E-o! E-o!
Oo-oo!
383
00:12:29,480 --> 00:12:30,760
E-o! E-o!
OK.
384
00:12:30,760 --> 00:12:32,320
What in God's name
is in the air here?
385
00:12:32,320 --> 00:12:33,360
E-o! E-o!
386
00:12:33,360 --> 00:12:34,720
Oo-oo!
E-o! E-o!
387
00:12:34,720 --> 00:12:35,800
Oo-oo!
E-o! E...

(MESSAGE WHOOSHES)
390
00:12:37,960 --> 00:12:40,040
So, how often does the...
391
00:12:40,040 --> 00:12:41,880
..clapping and chanting thing
happen?
392
00:12:41,880 --> 00:12:43,080
Oh, every morning.
Every morning?
393
00:12:43,080 --> 00:12:45,160
Mm. It's a fantastic way
to get into the body.
394
00:12:45,160 --> 00:12:47,280
Mm, I feel good.
Interesting use of staff time.
395
00:12:47,280 --> 00:12:48,280
Mm.
396
00:12:48,280 --> 00:12:49,840
Well, I'm looking forward
to working with you.
397
00:12:49,840 --> 00:12:51,320
I've heard great things, Margie.
398
00:12:51,320 --> 00:12:53,040
Oh, my real name is Marguerite.
399
00:12:53,040 --> 00:12:54,680
Ah, would you prefer
I call you that?
400
00:12:54,680 --> 00:12:56,640
No, I just think it's interesting.
401
00:12:56,640 --> 00:12:58,240
Do you?
Mm-hm.
402
00:12:58,240 --> 00:12:59,920
OK, well, I would like
to hit the ground running,
403
00:12:59,920 --> 00:13:01,000
so, a couple of things.
404
00:13:01,000 --> 00:13:03,360
I need to get across
next year's program ASAP.
405
00:13:03,360 --> 00:13:05,560
Oh, grab a tote. There you go.
No, I don't want a tote. Thank...
406
00:13:05,560 --> 00:13:07,080
Mm. Thank you.
Have a look.
407
00:13:07,080 --> 00:13:09,720
And Carmel mentioned the place
is under financial pressure.
408
00:13:09,720 --> 00:13:11,680
Did she? How do you know Carmel?
409
00:13:11,680 --> 00:13:13,560
I was her 2IC at NovaCorp Bank.
410
00:13:13,560 --> 00:13:15,480
OK, you were nipping at her heels.
411
00:13:15,480 --> 00:13:16,800
No wonder you're here.
412
00:13:16,800 --> 00:13:17,800
(CHUCKLES SOFTLY)
413
00:13:17,800 --> 00:13:19,280
Mm.
Mm.
414
00:13:19,280 --> 00:13:21,240
I also need
profit-and-loss statements.
415
00:13:21,240 --> 00:13:22,360
Who can I get those from?
416
00:13:22,360 --> 00:13:23,760
Me and only me.
417
00:13:23,760 --> 00:13:26,720
Well, could you email those across,
please? Thank you.
418
00:13:26,720 --> 00:13:30,240
So, what is the Julia McNamara story?
419
00:13:30,240 --> 00:13:33,760
Girl talk! Come on!
Married? Single? Let's have it.
420
00:13:33,760 --> 00:13:35,120
Single. Mother of one.
421
00:13:35,120 --> 00:13:36,760
Really, a mother?
422
00:13:36,760 --> 00:13:39,520
That's interesting.
I wasn't picking up on that energy.
423
00:13:39,520 --> 00:13:40,880
I got single, though.
424
00:13:40,880 --> 00:13:42,760
I guess like recognises like.
425
00:13:42,760 --> 00:13:44,000
(CHUCKLES)
426
00:13:44,000 --> 00:13:45,200
(CHUCKLES)
427
00:13:46,480 --> 00:13:47,960
Anyway, thank you so much
for coming past.
428
00:13:47,960 --> 00:13:49,280
I have a huge meeting
429
00:13:49,280 --> 00:13:51,000
about our launch tonight.
Yes.
430
00:13:51,000 --> 00:13:52,920
Yes, we do. I am coming to that.
431
00:13:52,920 --> 00:13:54,280
I don't think you're required.
432
00:13:54,280 --> 00:13:55,440
(QUIETLY) Don't worry about it.
433
00:13:57,200 --> 00:13:59,200
OK, so, let's talk launch.
434
00:13:59,200 --> 00:14:00,680
OK, the lights are gonna come down,
435
00:14:00,680 --> 00:14:02,320
there's gonna be the silence
in the space,
436
00:14:02,320 --> 00:14:03,920
the anticipation, the build,
437
00:14:03,920 --> 00:14:05,280
and then - bang! - music.
438
00:14:05,280 --> 00:14:07,960
And here she comes, Margie Argyle,
or a version of Margie.
439
00:14:07,960 --> 00:14:09,840
We're never truly ourselves on stage.
440
00:14:09,840 --> 00:14:12,080
And then, obviously,
I'll go to press the launch button...
441
00:14:12,080 --> 00:14:14,200
Margie, sorry,
I should have said this earlier.
442
00:14:14,200 --> 00:14:16,720
Carmel emailed.
Just a little change, no biggie.
443
00:14:16,720 --> 00:14:20,520
She... She wants Julia to launch
the program and press the button.
444
00:14:20,520 --> 00:14:21,520
What?
What?
445
00:14:21,520 --> 00:14:23,560
I mean,
Margie always launches the program.
446
00:14:23,560 --> 00:14:24,960
That's an Argyle tradition.
447
00:14:24,960 --> 00:14:27,120
No, it makes sense.
I can see the strategy.
448
00:14:27,120 --> 00:14:28,880
It means I can present
my financial plan.
449
00:14:28,880 --> 00:14:31,280
Oh. Do you have
a performance background?
450
00:14:31,280 --> 00:14:32,560
Well, I've given presentations
451
00:14:32,560 --> 00:14:36,040
in front of the CEOs
of the four major banks, so...
452
00:14:36,040 --> 00:14:37,680
..you tell me - do I?
453
00:14:37,680 --> 00:14:40,200
Yeah. Well, I guess
if Ibsen were alive today,
454
00:14:40,200 --> 00:14:42,680
he'd be giving PowerPoint
presentations all over the shop.
455
00:14:42,680 --> 00:14:44,160
(LAUGHS)
(CHUCKLES)
456
00:14:44,160 --> 00:14:45,840
Who's Ibsen?
457
00:14:48,400 --> 00:14:50,520
Ah. Interesting. No-one knows.
458
00:14:50,520 --> 00:14:51,800
Keep references relatable.
459
00:14:51,800 --> 00:14:53,320
That's a good tip for everybody.
460
00:14:53,320 --> 00:14:56,280
Now, the big show I'm launching
is Grease, yes?
461
00:14:56,280 --> 00:14:57,320
Yes. Yes, Grease.
Mm.
462
00:14:57,320 --> 00:14:58,960
Great movie, high profit yield.
463
00:14:58,960 --> 00:15:01,360
And Carmel said something
about getting a big name in.
464
00:15:01,360 --> 00:15:02,760
Uh... Undecided.
465
00:15:02,760 --> 00:15:03,760
Thanks. Yep.
466
00:15:03,760 --> 00:15:05,880
OK, well, here's a thought -
467
00:15:05,880 --> 00:15:07,600
did you know...
468
00:15:07,600 --> 00:15:09,760
..Sonia Kruger can sing?
469
00:15:09,760 --> 00:15:11,520
I know. I didn't realise either.
470
00:15:11,520 --> 00:15:12,720
I saw a clip.
471
00:15:12,720 --> 00:15:15,920
Yeah, so, um...casting's actually
the artistic director's job.
472
00:15:15,920 --> 00:15:18,880
You wait till you see this.
She's doing that Chumbawamba song.
473
00:15:18,880 --> 00:15:20,760
Does the Wi-Fi work here?
I've been having trouble.
474
00:15:20,760 --> 00:15:22,200
I switched it off.
475
00:15:22,200 --> 00:15:23,440
Again, Donna?
476
00:15:23,440 --> 00:15:24,600
No-one was using it.
477
00:15:24,600 --> 00:15:27,240
Donna, we've been through this.
Someone's always using the Wi-Fi.
478
00:15:27,240 --> 00:15:29,240
But we're all in here,
and it's out there.
479
00:15:29,240 --> 00:15:30,760
That's not how Wi-Fi works.
480
00:15:30,760 --> 00:15:31,760
Sorry, what's this?
481
00:15:31,760 --> 00:15:33,560
I'll just... I'll restart
the router, shall I?
482
00:15:33,560 --> 00:15:35,120
Add that to my list as well.
483
00:15:35,120 --> 00:15:36,520
Yep, and my lunch.
484
00:15:37,520 --> 00:15:39,440
And what?
Just my lunch on your list as well.
485
00:15:39,440 --> 00:15:41,960
Pop my lunch on. Thank you. Mm.
486
00:15:41,960 --> 00:15:42,960
Fishbowl.
Fishbowl.
487
00:15:42,960 --> 00:15:43,960
Yes, indeed.
488
00:15:43,960 --> 00:15:45,280
Extra fish.
Thank you.
489
00:15:45,280 --> 00:15:47,600
Alright, OK,
well, let's get on with it, I guess.
490
00:15:47,600 --> 00:15:49,720
That's it?
Yeah, that's it.
491
00:15:49,720 --> 00:15:51,800
Ooh, there she is - the boss.
492
00:15:53,880 --> 00:15:55,040
"Who's Ibsen?"
493
00:15:55,040 --> 00:15:56,880
Honestly, I nearly died.
494
00:15:56,880 --> 00:15:59,440
Like, the day of the launch,
and they send in some corporate robot
495
00:15:59,440 --> 00:16:01,120
to snoop around our finances.
496
00:16:01,120 --> 00:16:02,440
No-one's to tell her anything.
497
00:16:02,440 --> 00:16:03,560
Mm-mm.
Keep her out of it.
498
00:16:03,560 --> 00:16:05,160
Waist - 42 inches.
499
00:16:05,160 --> 00:16:07,280
It's up a bit, Margs.
What does that mean?
500
00:16:07,280 --> 00:16:09,520
Oh! Nothing. I think I need
a new tape measure, actually.
501
00:16:09,520 --> 00:16:10,800
Yeah, I think you do, Donna.
502
00:16:10,800 --> 00:16:13,440
There's no budget for that.
Donna, why is this on here?
503
00:16:13,440 --> 00:16:14,800
What's that?
It's the router.
504
00:16:14,800 --> 00:16:16,000
She's yarn-bombed it.
Donna!
505
00:16:16,000 --> 00:16:17,560
It buzzes and it looks ugly.
506
00:16:17,560 --> 00:16:20,000
Well, it's a major fire hazard.
Sorry, it's coming off.
507
00:16:20,000 --> 00:16:21,000
Hey!
508
00:16:21,000 --> 00:16:23,000
Pick it. Don't snip it.
509
00:16:23,000 --> 00:16:24,080
Alright.
510
00:16:24,080 --> 00:16:26,720
Guys, let's focus.
Let's talk about the launch tonight.
511
00:16:26,720 --> 00:16:29,720
So, you're just gonna
sneak a new play into the program
512
00:16:29,720 --> 00:16:31,040
and hide that from Julia?
513
00:16:31,040 --> 00:16:32,560
Yeah. Exactly.
514
00:16:32,560 --> 00:16:35,120
But everything's Grease-themed,
alright? What about all the totes?
515
00:16:35,120 --> 00:16:36,520
Just reload the totes.
516
00:16:36,520 --> 00:16:39,320
Um... There's copious totes, Margie.
You said it yourself.
517
00:16:39,320 --> 00:16:41,240
Yeah, I know there's copious totes,
Christian.
518
00:16:41,240 --> 00:16:43,440
I ordered them. But can you help
me out here and reload the totes?
519
00:16:43,440 --> 00:16:44,440
I'm gonna help.
520
00:16:44,440 --> 00:16:45,760
It's not that hard
to reload the totes!
521
00:16:45,760 --> 00:16:47,080
I'm going to reload the totes,
Margie!
522
00:16:47,080 --> 00:16:49,000
Reload the totes!
A lot of yelling in the workplace.
523
00:16:49,000 --> 00:16:51,240
Julia! How are you going?
Come in, come in.
524
00:16:51,240 --> 00:16:53,320
Welcome to the wardrobe department,
525
00:16:53,320 --> 00:16:54,960
where dreams come to life.
526
00:16:54,960 --> 00:16:56,080
Gosh.
527
00:16:56,080 --> 00:16:57,520
So, do you make all this?
528
00:16:57,520 --> 00:16:59,200
Yep.
Yes, of course.
529
00:16:59,200 --> 00:17:01,480
You CAN buy costumes.
Do you know Spotlight?
530
00:17:01,480 --> 00:17:03,520
I can't bear this.
531
00:17:03,520 --> 00:17:05,240
Yes, I know Spotlight.
532
00:17:05,240 --> 00:17:06,520
OK, well, maybe check that out.
533
00:17:06,520 --> 00:17:07,520
Margie...
Mm.
534
00:17:07,520 --> 00:17:09,320
..still don't have
any profit-and-loss statements.
535
00:17:09,320 --> 00:17:11,440
OK, that's working now, guys.
536
00:17:11,440 --> 00:17:14,040
Hey, you know
what our donors really love?
537
00:17:14,040 --> 00:17:17,760
When the CEO gets into party mode
on launch night!
538
00:17:17,760 --> 00:17:19,880
Don't they? Yeah?
Oh, don't worry about that
539
00:17:19,880 --> 00:17:22,040
because I can party
with the best of them.
540
00:17:22,040 --> 00:17:23,600
Really?
Yes.
541
00:17:23,600 --> 00:17:25,840
You know what you should do?
Something Grease-themed.
542
00:17:25,840 --> 00:17:27,440
What about a sexy Sandy?
543
00:17:27,440 --> 00:17:28,520
Mm...
(GASPS)
544
00:17:28,520 --> 00:17:30,480
I'd love to do a Sandy.
I'm good with vinyl.
545
00:17:30,480 --> 00:17:32,160
Yeah!
No, I'm not doing that.
546
00:17:32,160 --> 00:17:33,840
Go on, it'll be fun.
547
00:17:33,840 --> 00:17:34,920
No.
548
00:17:34,920 --> 00:17:36,720
That's a shame, Julia.
549
00:17:36,720 --> 00:17:38,920
Carmel is gonna be
really disappointed.
550
00:17:38,920 --> 00:17:41,960
Just FYI, I went to last year's
office Christmas party
551
00:17:41,960 --> 00:17:43,280
as Michele Bullock.
552
00:17:43,280 --> 00:17:44,320
Who's that?
553
00:17:44,320 --> 00:17:46,600
The head of the reserve bank.
It was hilarious.
554
00:17:46,600 --> 00:17:47,600
Mm.
555
00:17:47,600 --> 00:17:49,240
OK. I'm needed in wigs.
556
00:17:49,240 --> 00:17:51,400
That was a relatable reference.
557
00:17:51,400 --> 00:17:55,000
It was very funny 'cause her glasses
are completely different to mine.
558
00:17:56,000 --> 00:17:57,000
Donna...
559
00:17:58,000 --> 00:17:59,320
..I'll think about the Sandy thing.
560
00:17:59,320 --> 00:18:00,920
Come and see me in my office.
561
00:18:02,320 --> 00:18:03,760
Let's try this one.
562
00:18:03,760 --> 00:18:06,200
OK, let's have a look.
Let's have a look.
563
00:18:08,320 --> 00:18:10,080
Oh, no, I don't think that...
That's not it.
564
00:18:10,080 --> 00:18:11,080
It's not it.
565
00:18:11,080 --> 00:18:12,080
It's not it, is it?
No.
566
00:18:12,080 --> 00:18:14,520
OK. Here's the updated run sheet
for tonight.
567
00:18:14,520 --> 00:18:16,800
Oh. Oh, what's this? I'm on last?
568
00:18:16,800 --> 00:18:18,600
That was Carmel's call.
It's not my call.
569
00:18:18,600 --> 00:18:20,200
Oh, yeah, but I bet you're loving it.
570
00:18:20,200 --> 00:18:22,520
Oh, my God.
Yes, I'm in love with Carmel now.
571
00:18:22,520 --> 00:18:24,400
Right? I'm in love with everyone.
I'm in love with Jacob.
572
00:18:24,400 --> 00:18:25,880
I'm in love with...
573
00:18:25,880 --> 00:18:27,080
..everyone.
574
00:18:28,080 --> 00:18:30,520
(COMPUTER TRILLS)
Come on, Margie.
575
00:18:30,520 --> 00:18:32,560
How hard is it to send an email?
576
00:18:33,680 --> 00:18:35,000
(SIGHS)
577
00:18:36,040 --> 00:18:37,840
Margie?
You know what I mean? Oh.
578
00:18:37,840 --> 00:18:40,080
Time to give her a dose of the craft,
I think.
579
00:18:40,080 --> 00:18:41,520
A little bit of acting.
580
00:18:41,520 --> 00:18:43,480
I still need those reports.
581
00:18:43,480 --> 00:18:45,360
Oh, wow. What is this?
582
00:18:45,360 --> 00:18:47,480
You look like the altar boy
from Saint Cecilia's.
583
00:18:47,480 --> 00:18:49,480
Julia, I've just had a phone call.
584
00:18:49,480 --> 00:18:50,960
OK.
585
00:18:50,960 --> 00:18:52,560
From my son, Little Cherry.
586
00:18:52,560 --> 00:18:54,840
Oh, you have a son?
Sorry, what's his name?
587
00:18:54,840 --> 00:18:56,120
Little Cherry.
Cherry?
588
00:18:56,120 --> 00:18:57,840
He's named after his grandfather,
Jerry,
589
00:18:57,840 --> 00:18:59,960
but he couldn't say 'Jerry',
so, he said 'Cherry'.
590
00:18:59,960 --> 00:19:01,120
(CHORTLES)
591
00:19:01,120 --> 00:19:03,280
Cherry, Jerry, Cherry, Jerry, Cherry.
592
00:19:03,280 --> 00:19:04,520
Named himself?
593
00:19:04,520 --> 00:19:07,240
Anyway, he's just found out
he's dyslexic.
594
00:19:07,240 --> 00:19:08,720
What, just now?
Yep.
595
00:19:08,720 --> 00:19:10,040
How old is he?
596
00:19:10,040 --> 00:19:11,040
Eight.
597
00:19:11,040 --> 00:19:13,120
OK, did he call you from school?
598
00:19:13,120 --> 00:19:14,440
Sorry, it's 4:30...
599
00:19:14,440 --> 00:19:16,840
Yeah, but the point
is I need to rush home tonight.
600
00:19:16,840 --> 00:19:17,920
You know?
601
00:19:17,920 --> 00:19:20,280
The poor little boy
needs his mother, so...
602
00:19:20,280 --> 00:19:21,280
OK.
603
00:19:21,280 --> 00:19:23,920
I just need to change the running
order for the launch tonight.
604
00:19:23,920 --> 00:19:24,920
Sure.
Yeah.
605
00:19:24,920 --> 00:19:26,480
Whatever gets me those reports.
606
00:19:26,480 --> 00:19:27,640
OK.
Mm?
607
00:19:27,640 --> 00:19:28,880
Thanks, Jules.
608
00:19:28,880 --> 00:19:30,280
Agh. 'Jules'.
609
00:19:32,600 --> 00:19:34,160
Mums get it.
610
00:19:34,160 --> 00:19:35,880
I don't get any of it.
611
00:19:38,320 --> 00:19:40,400
Is this where you thought
your life would end up?
612
00:19:40,400 --> 00:19:42,480
Oh, 1,000%. Yeah.
613
00:19:42,480 --> 00:19:43,880
Oh, finally reloading the totes.
614
00:19:43,880 --> 00:19:45,640
I'll see you guys tonight
at the launch.
615
00:19:45,640 --> 00:19:47,040
I'm going for a drink.
616
00:19:47,040 --> 00:19:48,720
I'm exhausted!
617
00:19:48,720 --> 00:19:51,280
Uh... I'll go get us
some more totes.
618
00:19:51,280 --> 00:19:52,360
Thanks, Kat.
619
00:19:53,880 --> 00:19:55,240
Was that Margie? Did she just leave?
620
00:19:55,240 --> 00:19:56,240
Yes.
621
00:19:56,240 --> 00:19:57,920
She still hasn't given me
those reports.
622
00:19:58,920 --> 00:20:03,120
Uh... Well, I could show you
the reports...if you wanted.
623
00:20:03,120 --> 00:20:05,000
Yes, please.
Just between us, though.
624
00:20:05,000 --> 00:20:06,320
OK?
Fine.
625
00:20:06,320 --> 00:20:07,480
Alright.
626
00:20:07,480 --> 00:20:08,800
Thank you.
627
00:20:08,800 --> 00:20:11,080
So, how long
have you been at The Argyle?
628
00:20:11,080 --> 00:20:12,080
20 years.
629
00:20:12,080 --> 00:20:13,520
20 years?
Yep.
630
00:20:13,520 --> 00:20:15,280
From usher all the way to the top.
631
00:20:15,280 --> 00:20:16,400
Oh. Wow!
632
00:20:16,400 --> 00:20:18,800
I actually used to tread the boards
myself, but, um...
633
00:20:18,800 --> 00:20:21,440
..no, admin's my real passion,
and I know that now.
634
00:20:21,440 --> 00:20:22,600
Oh, my God.
635
00:20:22,600 --> 00:20:23,600
What?
636
00:20:23,600 --> 00:20:26,120
OK, this place is a disaster.
637
00:20:26,120 --> 00:20:27,920
No wonder
she didn't want me to see these.
638
00:20:27,920 --> 00:20:29,680
Well, maybe...maybe you shouldn't
be seeing them.
639
00:20:29,680 --> 00:20:30,680
Ooh, no.
640
00:20:30,680 --> 00:20:31,680
No? OK.
641
00:20:31,680 --> 00:20:34,320
How has she been allowed
to spend like this? Wow.
642
00:20:34,320 --> 00:20:36,840
If you want to turn things around,
she has got to go.
643
00:20:36,840 --> 00:20:38,640
And I'm more than happy
to pull the trigger.
644
00:20:38,640 --> 00:20:39,760
(STAMMERS) Well, you can't
645
00:20:39,760 --> 00:20:42,520
because the board's
the only one who can fire Margie.
646
00:20:42,520 --> 00:20:44,200
Uh... Carmel would never fire
a woman.
647
00:20:44,200 --> 00:20:45,480
It'd be very off-brand for her.
648
00:20:45,480 --> 00:20:46,880
Oh, God, I think you're right.
649
00:20:46,880 --> 00:20:48,680
Mm. I am.
650
00:20:48,680 --> 00:20:50,200
I'm gonna be stuck here forever.
651
00:20:50,200 --> 00:20:52,720
Yeah. That's the dream.

How are you?! Oh, I love that.
659
00:21:13,840 --> 00:21:16,200
I nearly bought it,
but I didn't 'cause I...
660
00:21:16,200 --> 00:21:18,200
In the end, I thought, no.
661

Carmel!

We've been trying
to get in touch with you all day.
663
00:21:21,960 --> 00:21:24,280
Yes, and I have been
frantically trying to call you back,
664
00:21:24,280 --> 00:21:25,840
but you know...
We should have brunch.
665
00:21:25,840 --> 00:21:26,840
Yes!
Let's have brunch.

thanks for coming.

And, of course, a very big thankyou

00:21:35,080 --> 00:21:37,840
to Darren Henderson
from the Westport City Council.
671
00:21:37,840 --> 00:21:40,800
He has his demons, but he's always
been very supportive of us.

So, without any further ado,
673
00:21:42,840 --> 00:21:45,560
to announce our major production
for this season,

And, before I get started,
just a little reminder -
679
00:21:57,880 --> 00:21:59,280
please grab a tote.
680
00:21:59,280 --> 00:22:02,800
We have copious totes,
so, grab one, grab two, grab eight.

Take one home for your loved ones.

You know what? I'm gonna throw out
the script tonight.
683
00:22:08,840 --> 00:22:13,400
Because I was asked to come up here
and compromise everything.
684
00:22:13,400 --> 00:22:16,280
They wanted me to rip out
my artistic soul
685
00:22:16,280 --> 00:22:18,720
and feed it
to the capitalist machine.

(CHEERING, APPLAUSE)
697
00:22:44,240 --> 00:22:47,400
So, for the first time in 20 years
698
00:22:47,400 --> 00:22:52,040
I will be performing the play
that put this theatre on the map.
699
00:22:52,040 --> 00:22:56,280
Ladies and gentlemen,
our major production this season -

00:22:56,280 --> 00:22:59,640
Le Paysan A Moitie Enterre!
701
00:22:59,640 --> 00:23:01,120
What?
702
00:23:01,120 --> 00:23:02,760
It's supposed to be Grease.
703
00:23:02,760 --> 00:23:04,720
Farewell, Grease!
(APPLAUSE)
704
00:23:05,960 --> 00:23:08,960

(CHEERING, APPLAUSE)
708
00:23:27,480 --> 00:23:30,000
I am a peasant buried half-alive,
709
00:23:30,000 --> 00:23:32,320
but, by God, I will prevail!
710
00:23:32,320 --> 00:23:34,840
(CHEERING, APPLAUSE)

(MUMBLES INDISTINCTLY)
712
00:23:38,840 --> 00:23:41,760
And now I'd like to introduce
our new CEO, Julie McNamara.
713
00:23:42,760 --> 00:23:46,080

(AUDIENCE MURMURS)
715
00:23:51,720 --> 00:23:53,920
What in the name of God
is she wearing?
716
00:23:53,920 --> 00:23:55,840
(QUIETLY) It's Greased Lightnin'.
717
00:23:56,840 --> 00:23:58,080
(QUIETLY) Childish.
718
00:23:58,080 --> 00:24:00,000
So unprofessional, the lot of you.

(MICROPHONE SQUEALS)
721
00:24:03,320 --> 00:24:05,120
Good evening, ladies and gentlemen.
722
00:24:05,120 --> 00:24:07,560
Well, in keeping
with tonight's theme...
723
00:24:08,800 --> 00:24:10,320
..I'm here to say
724
00:24:10,320 --> 00:24:12,240
you better shape up.
725
00:24:12,240 --> 00:24:13,680
Mm.
726
00:24:13,680 --> 00:24:15,400
'Cause you need a plan.
727
00:24:16,400 --> 00:24:19,760
And I can keep you strategised.
728
00:24:19,760 --> 00:24:21,800
Jesus Christ.
729
00:24:21,800 --> 00:24:23,280
There we go.
730
00:24:23,280 --> 00:24:25,720
Always good to have a laugh
731
00:24:25,720 --> 00:24:28,000
before discussing serious business.
732
00:24:29,520 --> 00:24:31,840
Unfortunately, The Argyle Theatre
733
00:24:31,840 --> 00:24:35,400
is experiencing
extreme financial difficulty,
734
00:24:35,400 --> 00:24:36,840
and, if something isn't done,
735
00:24:36,840 --> 00:24:39,840
this may be the last season
you ever have.
736
00:24:39,840 --> 00:24:42,240
And the person
single-handedly responsible
737
00:24:42,240 --> 00:24:44,360
for running this place
into the ground
738
00:24:44,360 --> 00:24:45,960
is in fact...
Thank you, Julia.
739
00:24:45,960 --> 00:24:49,760
And now I would like to launch
this season's program!
740
00:24:49,760 --> 00:24:52,400
I will do one thing.
I will launch this season.
741
00:24:52,400 --> 00:24:54,240
I'm launching it!
I'm launching it!
742
00:24:54,240 --> 00:24:55,560
The artistic director does it!
743
00:24:55,560 --> 00:24:56,560
I'm doing it!
744
00:24:56,560 --> 00:24:57,560

752
00:25:20,880 --> 00:25:23,320
This organisation
is not financially viable.
753
00:25:23,320 --> 00:25:24,720
Oh. So, not
gonna acknowledge
754
00:25:24,720 --> 00:25:25,840
country
or anything?
755
00:25:25,840 --> 00:25:27,080
Christian
will assist me
756
00:25:27,080 --> 00:25:28,440
in conducting
performance reviews
757
00:25:28,440 --> 00:25:29,440
starting today.
758
00:25:29,440 --> 00:25:32,000
Are we not more
than human resources?!
759
00:25:32,000 --> 00:25:33,800
Oh, don't clap that.
760
00:25:33,800 --> 00:25:35,520
that feels like a version
of workplace harassment.
761
00:25:35,520 --> 00:25:37,800
You will not
be cutting my staff.
762
00:25:37,800 --> 00:25:39,080
Ryan, Christian...
763
00:25:39,080 --> 00:25:40,440
Yes?
..this is my son, Ryan.
764
00:25:40,440 --> 00:25:42,560
Margie, Julia's fired Jacob.

What are you doing?
What?!

00:25:45,840 --> 00:25:48,560
OK, Julia, if this
is all so easy...
