(gentle guitar music)

♪ Hummingbird, I hear you calling ♪

There you go.

Yeah.

It's pink.

It is weird seeing you
in pink, I won't lie.

But I think it looks great.

I look like a flower girl.

It looks fine.

Fine?

Everyone knows fine means not fine.

Well, fine means fine.

Doesn't mean not fine.

(Jamie speaking foreign language)

You could be saying anything.

You could be saying, "Zara,
your slam poetry sucks."

Yeah, I say that to you in English.

No, I just said the dress looks great.

You look great.

Thanks.

Wow.

Great. This is the one.

Let's get it and go home.

No. That looks so
much better on the rack.

Thanks.

It's not you, it's just the dress.

I don't know why I can't just wear

something I already own.

I'm gonna pretend that
you didn't say that.

You're a bridesmaid.

Yeah?

So you have to match.

How about this one?

It's nice.

Lemon. Lovely.

(Jamie chuckles)

Have you decided who you're
gonna bring to my wedding?

Now I need to know if they
have any special requirements,

dietaries, allergies.

Yeah, I've got a couple
options, so I'll get back to you.

I'll let you know.

You've got options?

Yeah.

I don't know anything
about her love life.

No, she's the most
secretive girl, I swear.

I'm just private.

Okay. All right.

Well, can you please go
and try on the lemon dress?

Yep.

Thank you.

Oh God, she just gets to me.

I can't (groans)

Yeah, but I'm sure it comes
from a place of concern.

Concern for her wedding.

-Not for me.
-Well, it is a big day.

Just (groans)

Just makes me so angry.

Like, it was just very patronizing.

Like, oh, if you can't find someone,

then we'll just put
you on the kids' table.

I'm in the bridal party.

That'll look ridiculous.

And I'm sure she
didn't mean it that way.

And there's probably better
food on that table, so...

I need to find someone
to bring to this wedding.

Yeah, well, if you
end up stuck for someone

or need someone, I could be your date.

Has to be someone
that I'd actually date.

Can't just be my friend.

Yeah. Right.

(groans) Who am I gonna take?

All the good ones are taken.

All the good ones?

What does that say about you then, huh?

Whoa.

Yeah.

(Zara laughs)

Any secret red flags?

Nothing. There's nothing.

(Jamie laughs)

I'm perfect.

Everyone's in a relationship.

Yeah.

Everyone's all coupled up and happy.

How awful.

Disgusting.

Worst.

They are.

They are the worst kinds of people.

Always out in public touching
each other and laughing.

Should be banned.

They should be locked indoors.

Happy in public, what are they thinking?

Who do they think
they are, happy couples?

(both laugh)

(groans) I don't know enough people.

Yeah, we don't, do we?

I don't have enough friends.

All of our friends are
like in relationships.

Yeah.

Do you remember Isabel?

Oh yeah. Yeah.

She was nice, right?

She was nice.

What does that mean?

No, it's...

(both laughs)

Do you remember that group chat,

it was like that big group
chat with everyone in it?

Yeah.

A million little messages.

She was one of those people

who just sends like little things.

She even broke up sentences at one point

just to send it in two messages.

[Zara] And?

-I do that.
-It was real annoying.

[Zara] I'm that person.

Yeah, but two of you
together, that's just...

That's where we draw the line.

'Cause you saw the
effects within that chat.

It just blows your phone up.

(Zara imitates buzzing)

Literally.

Okay, okay, okay.

Well, I can't have someone
with the same flaws as me.

That's not gonna work.

[Jamie] No. You can't
be paired together.

-No.
-No.

Okay.

She had a friend though.

Was it Ma...

It was Mara, right?

[Jamie] I think so.

Is that her name?

Yeah. Yeah, I think so.

-[Zara] Like, she was cool.
-Yeah, she was cool.

Do you remember that time we
went to the restaurant, though?

I don't remember exactly what she ordered,

but I remember her saying this

'cause I know it ticks you off.

She said chutney but as chutaney.

[Zara] No!

Yeah, and I've heard
she says schedule as-

Oh, don't.

[Jamie] Shedule.

(Zara groans)

No.

I can't. I can't do that.

[Jamie] Yeah, I've been
drilled by you so many times.

I figured.

I'm surprised you didn't
hear her say that.

I'm really glad that I didn't actually.

Ew.

Okay.

That's a really petty reason
for me to not like someone,

but I can't do it. (laughs)

[Jamie] No, I've been
on the receiving end

of you correcting someone.

I know it's...

Okay.

What about Renee?

Yeah. I heard she's recently single too.

[Zara] She's a musician.

Did you hear what she did for her ex?

[Zara] No.

It was really sweet.

So they rocked up to their
workplace guitar in hand,

serenaded them in front of everyone.

It was really, really sweet.

[Zara] No.

Yeah.

[Zara] No.

Yeah.

Must be a musician thing.

Yeah, I can't remember
if it was like a birthday

or anniversary or something.

I wanna be sick.

[Jamie] I think it's sweet.

Sick.

[Jamie] Writes poetry too.

All of my skin just tried
to crawl inside my body.

[Jamie] What do you mean?

I hate that.

[Jamie] Poetry?

I hate it.

-I like poetry.
-Social media tributes?

(Zara laughs)

Social media tributes?

[Jamie] Yeah.

Oh, no.

You could be her muse.

It'd be so good.

It'd spice up your work day.

You just never know when she'll appear.

[Zara] Stop it.

You know I hate that.

Short list.

That is a short list.

That's all I've got as well.

I just don't know enough, I
don't have enough friends.

I don't. I don't have enough friends.

[Jamie] Work on that.

I'm just gonna have to
get on the apps again.

No. Don't.

Do you remember how it
made you feel so bad

about yourself last time?

[Zara] Yeah, it is objectifying.

I don't like it.

And the amount of catfishes on there.

[Zara] The number of
catfishes that found me.

Yeah.

[Zara] I don't know why I attract that.

No, it's just the apps.

It's not you.

I don't know, man.

It doesn't seem to happen to everyone.

I'm drawing some kind of energy.

Okay, I'm gonna need
your help picking photos

because this is a very stressful task.

[Jamie] No. Wait, are you serious?

Yeah, I'm serious.

[Jamie] No. I actually
might know someone for you.

Are you serious?

Yeah.

Shayni.

I don't know if you remember
from that one time you came

and watched me play basketball.

She's on my team.

Yeah, she's cool.

[Zara] Okay.

Paint me a picture

'cause I wasn't paying
that much attention.

Rude.

She's really cool.

She's really perky.

She loves high fives.

She's the team spirit.

She loves a good party.

She is the life of the
party, one could say.

[Zara] Okay.

Yeah.

[Zara] That's a good
thing 'cause I'm negative.

Yeah.

[Zara] I need someone positive.

Well, she is positive,
but she's also relaxed.

Okay.

Hmm.

Shayni?

Yeah. Zara?

Yeah.

-Hey, nice to meet ya.
-Nice to meet you.

Oh my god.

I knew you were a basketballer,

but you are way taller
than I thought you were.

Yeah.

I am like a head taller.

I look like a child.

I do have the high ground here, so...

(Zara laughs)

Oh, that's a cute necklace.

-It's cute.
-Oh, thanks.

I love that. It's cute.

Yeah.

Like, I know that it's
meant to be an eagle,

but it kind of looks like a crow.

And I was having a lot of
weird dreams about crows

at that time, and then I saw it,

so I thought I had to have it.

[Shayni] Okay.

Yeah. I had a dream that a
crow pecked out my eyeball.

Oh.

It wasn't scary though, I promise.

I was remarkably fine
with it in the dream.

And I'm really into mythology.

And there's like a
story in Norse mythology

where Odin trades an eyeball for wisdom,

and then also supposedly
crows are his eyes

in the mortal realm.

And yeah...

You're a bit nervous, babe.

[Zara] Yep.

That's okay.

Do you wanna get drunk?

Yes.

-Thank you.
-Sounds great.

Okay, let's go.

After you.

Yeah, so do you just do,
what, did you do basketball?

No. God, no.

No?

I feel like you'd be speedy though.

No, no, no.

I mean...

No, obviously Jamie plays.

You know Jamie, but like...

No, I'm not a ball sports gal, so...

When I was in primary
school, I played netball.

Oh, yeah, yeah.

On like a school team.

And my mother was the coach.

And she put me in wing defense.

And everybody knows that's
where you put the weakest link.

That's like opposite "Dance Moms."

It's like, didn't believe in you.

She just saw things how they were.

I mean, wing defense
is an important position.

It'd be sad without 'em.

My only tactic is to get frustrated

at the fact that I can't catch

and to just start being
aggressive at Melbourne.

(both laughs)

Netball is it non-contact sport.

It's all coming out now.

The rage on the roads,
the rage on the court.

It's everywhere.

I get it.

No.

I mean, I played, like,
I played netball a bit.

I played like goal defense

and like, I'm tall, so of course I am.

My like wingspan is like over.

Ridiculous.

You know what I mean?

Yeah. Ridiculous.

But yeah, I played like
primary school as well,

but I played like state for a bit as well.

But that's literally I
think just 'cause I'm tall.

I think it's just because I'm tall.

"I played state for a bit."

If I was like-

"It's only 'cause I'm tall."

Stop it.

(Shayni laughs)

If I was five foot
nothing, I wouldn't have.

-You know what I mean?
-Stop it.

Of course you did.

(Shayni laughs)

You really tried to slide that in there.

Like, "Oh, you know, I
just, I played state."

-"Don't worry about it."
-It's true.

The uniforms were like slay though.

(Zara laughs)

We all looked really hot.

Yeah, all the popular
girls play netball.

-And they look amazing.
-Hot. Hot.

Wasn't me.

It was not me.

Oh, it's such a look.

Yeah.

That's called fake pass.

Wow.

You got me.

-Thank you.
-Yeah, no, you need to...

Come on, defend.

That is a foul.

I don't know the rules.

Oh.

(both laugh)

Grow.

I think that'd be the answer.

Grow?

Yeah.

I can't!

This is as big as I'm gonna get.

No. Okay.

Seriously.

Defend. Defend. Oh.

(Zara cackling)

That's called a travel.

That's called travel, just so you know.

I can see your little shadow following me.

That's it. I'm done.

I think I need to eat.

I'm starving.

Yeah?

Yeah.

What? Not much time
for food at the vineyard?

No, I just didn't get the chance.

There you go.

Stop it. (laughs)

This is bullying.

Mustn't have been that long

if you didn't get a chance to eat.

She hits me.

No.

I think I might have pasta. Maybe.

Yeah?

And if I'm lucky, there'll
still be cheese in the fridge.

Cheese.

Yeah.

I mean, sounds all right, but...

We could just order in.

I can't afford it.

Spent all my money at the vineyard.

Oh?

Yeah.

Well...

Must've been all right if you
spent enough money on a few.

All right. I'm done.

Come on. I'm starving.

Yeah. It's wining.

Yeah?

-It's good, I guess.
-Not a fan?

No, I just don't have a refined palate.

You know what I mean?

You know, like, wine's wine for me.

No?

What's your like usual poison?

What do you usually drink?

I like cocktails.

Ooh.

Yeah.

I do love a cocktail.

I'm a little bit basic.

That's not basic.

What's your go-to like cocktail?

I like to just go to
the bar and be like, "Hi."

Oh, you're one of them.

I just like a really,
what would you recommend?

I like really sweet drinks.

Ooh. Did that get you free drinks?

No. Not even once.

No?

Literally never.

Well, I would make you a free cocktail

if you said it nicely.

You were a bartender?

You make cocktails?

I used to, yeah.

That's cool.

It was super fun. Super fun.

I'd help them like develop the
menu sometimes just 'cause-

So you like invented, you
invented some cocktails.

I didn't invent.

Well, that makes it sound
like I invented cocktails.

No. No, you didn't invent the concept.

You weren't the first
person to mix alcohol.

No. No.

I imagine.

But you like...

Yeah, no, I would help make new stuff.

Have you made cocktails
like at home or anything?

I mean, no, not really.

No, no?

Well, 'cause like, okay, it sounds like-

Made a mimosa once, but
that's as far as I go.

Well, that's close.

That's close.

Good mimosas.

No 'cause like with cocktails, right,

this sounds super dorky,

but it's like, I think of it
like a graph thing, right?

So like one quarter of
it, right, is like acids.

So like lime, lemon.

Then there's the syrups,

so like sugar syrup,
cinnamon syrup, something,

yeah, sweet, yum.

Then there's like juices.

And then there's the spirit.

Alcohol.

Which is like, what we're here for.

It's what I get outta bed for.

Nah.

So then you kind of measure

and like play in that space of like,

is it more bitter by like
taking out some of those syrups?

Or you lean into syrups
to make it really sweet.

Yeah.

You know? And you
kinda just play around.

It's super fun. Super fun.

Yeah, yeah.

That's really cool.

Do you still, you still a bartender?

In between.

But like the bar I used to work at,

we'd just make sugar bombs, right?

You just make cocktails
that are super sugary.

Yeah. Tell me about one that you made.

I wanna know like something you invented.

Be like my friend made this.

(Shayni laughs)

Oh, I made one and it was like,

like a melon liqueur, right?

And then it was lime.

Yeah.

Lemonade and vanilla syrup.

Oh my god, yum.

It was like so smashable.

It was so-

Sounds delicious.

You could skull it.

It was so good.

Very dangerous.

It's sugar water.

-It's lolly water.
-I would love that.

But yum. People loved it.

But yeah, I worked at a,

the bar I worked at was
also a mini golf place.

Those are the best though.

They're so fun.

They are.

But like who thought it was a good idea

to give like a weapon to like
people who would be drunk?

I've never actually thought of that.

No. It's like actually-

I'm too busy struggling
with the ball sport.

(both laughs)

Oh no, not the balls.

We're back at the ball sport.

I'm struggling.

I'm sorry.

Your one weakness.

You're right, that is a weapon.

And drunk people, they suck.

Yeah. Oh my god.

Don't, no.

'Cause like if you're not
making it quick enough

or if it's wrong,

or like, God forbid, you
gotta like cut someone off.

Yeah.

You know?

No.

They throw it into the bar.

They'll like swing it around.

Not actually. Like-

No, for seriously.

You're joking.

Yeah. No.

Like, it would actually be-

Oh my god, did you quit?

I would've quit so fast.

Oh my god.

Well, I don't work there anymore, but...

There's no way that I
would've stuck around for that.

That's outta line.

Yeah.

I mean, it was fun.

It was a fun place to work.

But you see a lot.

Yeah.

But...

Yeah.

It's crazy.

Did you want another drink?

I might-

Oh no, we've still got some.

We've still got some.

Oh, I wanted to try...

Oh, what was it called?

It was the white sav.

Not a bottle though.

I don't think I've got another.

No, I'm just gonna get a glass.

But the Tasmania one looked really good.

Okay.

[Shayni] I'm gonna get that.

You sure you don't want anything?

Yeah, I'm sure.

[Shayni] Right. I will be back.

Okay.

All right, so I got the bill.

Oh, did you wanna head off?

Yeah, I think they're trying to pack up.

What time is it?

Oh.

Early.

Um...

Ooh, it's like 82, so
I'll send you like 41.

Do you wanna, let's just,
why don't we just itemize it?

I mean, I think I only
had like two anyway.

Oh.

I mean...

Is that okay?

Yeah. I just wasn't like counting.

That's fine.

No, that's fine.

You know, actually what we will do,

we'll even it out at the next place

because I think it's
like five minute walk.

There's a pub and it's
got yummy sweet cocktails.

It's like a strawberry one.

I don't.

I think you will-

I really don't think

-that I've got any more in me.
-No?

No, we're already,

well we're already,
we're already drinking.

-We're already out.
-I can't.

I'm done. I can't.

No, it'll be fun.

It'll be fun. I promise.

It'll be really fun.

Please?

It'll be fun.

[Zara] All right, prepare to be wowed.

[Jamie] Yes.

[Zara] Bon appetit.

Well, it looks great.

Mm-hmm.

Do you have any sauce?

Wow.

She wants sauce.

No, listen-

My five star kitchen.

Yeah. Well-

Anything else?

What can I get for you?

[Jamie] I'd love some truffle oil

and yeah, like hand churned
cheese, if you got any.

Just like real fresh ingredients.

I have something better than that.

If you would believe it.

Basically the same thing.

Give that a go.

(Zara laughs)

This is so sad.

I'm so sorry.

No, it's fine.

Thank you.

Spent all my money at the vineyard.

Wow.

So on that.

Mm-hmm?

You said that you knew
Shayni from basketball.

Yep. We played a few seasons together.

Right.

What's she like?

She's really competitive.

So I don't ever be on her opposing team.

She's really nice.

I don't know.

Yeah.

Do you guys party a lot as a team?

No, not really.

We do tournaments and stuff.

So, you know, when we've
gone away for a few weekends,

it's, yeah, we always go
play some tournament as well.

It's fun.

Really good.

And you haven't noticed anything

that's like off about her?

Mm...

We've gone out a few times.

And she's been awful on the dance floor,

so don't ever take her out dancing.

Don't let her in a dance-

Jamie, she's a raging alcoholic!

Come on!

You can't have not noticed that.

You are such an exaggerator.

You went to a winery.

She tried to bench press me.

Yeah, she's an athlete.

No, no, picture it-

She was trying to impress you.

Picture it.

It's quite funny. (laughs)

I felt undignified.

What do you mean?

It would've been so dignified.

Oh my god, you set me
up with an alcoholic.

-I can't believe you.
-Were you impressed

with the bench press?

This is the biggest stitch up ever.

No. I mean-

I blew half my savings at the vineyard!

She drank so much.

So much.

You're just a lightweight.

-We know this.
-No. No.

Yes, I am a lightweight.

I will admit that I'm a lightweight.

But no.

Well, it's not her fault

that you're a bit tight at the moment.

Dead to me.

(Jamie laughs)

You are dead to me. (laughs)

How many bench presses did she get in?

Shut up.

I'm not reliving it.

I'm actually trying to forget over here.

I don't know why.

This is great, by the way.

Unbelievable.

You okay?

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Sorry. Hills. (chuckles)

Oh my god, you're so pretty.

Oh, thank you.

You've got like a face that
you like would want to draw.

Like, you're so symmetrical.

Thank you.

And your hair's really pretty.

Do you work out by the way?

You look so good.

Oh, thank you.

No, I don't really.

I don't like gyms.

What do you mean you don't like gyms?

You know, they're just
full of gym people, you know?

Does it, really, I don't know,

does it even make a difference?

Does it make a difference?

Yeah.

What do you mean?

Course it makes a difference.

I couldn't do this.

Oh.

Oh my god!

Put me down!

Couldn't do that if
I didn't go to the gym.

See?

Well, you convinced me.

(Shayni laughs)

Such a nice day.

Your bag.

You left your bag.

Huh?

Oh, sorry.

RIP.

You okay? You had a good time?

Yeah. Yeah, I did.

Yeah.

Good.

I'm just, I'm just tired.

Yeah?

-The wine.
-Ready to go home.

Yeah.

I get it.

Alrighty.

Well...

How are you getting home?

You're not driving, are you?

What do you mean?

Where?

That's not your car.

You're not driving.

That's my beautiful car. Yes.

What?

Okay, well you can't,
you obviously can't drive.

-Come on.
-Why not?

Zara...

I do it all the time.

It's fine.

Please don't worry.

You do it all the time?

Yes. Don't, look, please.

-It's not a thing.
-That's not a good thing.

I don't want it to be a thing.

Please.

Do you know what?

Actually the bus stop
is just down the road.

Let's just get the bus.

Look, it's just, please don't-

No, seriously. It's fine.

I'll get you a, I'm gonna call a car.

That's what I'm gonna do.

I'm gonna book a car.

All right, well you can do that.

No. Hey.

Hey.

Have you had enough?

Yeah, I'm really full.

Thank you.

You hated it.

No.

No, I heard you.

I got that loud and clear.

You hated it.

I'm just full.

It was so good.

"Mm. I loved it."

The sauce is...

You are the worst liar.

The worst.

No.

Do you want a drink?

Yeah, actually.

You got any wine?

Oh, very funny.

(both laugh)

I'm never drinking again.

Oh.

Come on now. (laughs)

Yeah. Just kidding.

(both laughs)

But not today.

No wine.

No. You sure you don't
wanna crack open a bottle?

No.

Sorry. I'm gonna take
it no second date then?

Not likely.

It was too much.

Yeah.

It was too much.

I'm surprised.

I'm sure someone will love that.

-But it's not for me.
-It's not for you, yeah.

(Zara groans)

I'm gonna have to do it.

I'm just gonna have to get the apps.

No, come on, I thought
we said it was a bad idea.

It is a bad idea.

Yeah.

But it's a bad idea that
I'm gonna fully proceed with.

No, you'll find someone.

You don't need to go to the
apps and all that sort of stuff.

Have faith.

The universe will bring someone to you.

Yeah.

Mm-hmm.

Have you seen my phone?

No, I haven't.

You're not gonna do it now, are you?

I'm gonna do it now.

(gentle music)

Just be careful.

I've seen some bees.

I feel like they mustn't like me

'cause I've never actually
been stung before in my life.

That's a good one.

Perfect. One down.

You're such a dutiful assistant.

I should bring you every time.

(Zara giggles)

How much of this do you have to do?

I have to collect...

Wait.

One sample.

Three days.

Oh my god, that's a lot.

Yeah, but I mean, it's not too bad.

You get to go out into nature.

Don't give me that face.

I feel like it's a must if you
study environmental science

to actually want to be in nature.

But the next assignment is even better.

I get to go to this beautiful mountain,

do some hiking, and collect
stream water samples.

That sucks.

-Oh my god.
-No, it's good.

I've scouted the area already,

and it looks absolutely gorgeous.

It should be so nice.

(phone buzzes)

It really just doesn't stop, does it?

No.

It's just all the messages
from the app, it's matches.

All the matches?

Yeah.

Spare me.

It's relentless.

Clearly.

(phone buzzes)

Look at them all though, seriously.

Okay. No.

Go up.

That one's fake.

Yeah, no, that's what I'm doing.

It's quite clearly fake.

I have to go through
and sift through them

'cause there are some freaks on here.

No, really, hang on.

You should see this one.

Yeah.

(both laugh)

No, I get it, yeah.

Anyway...

God.

Yeah, you could just turn
it on silent, you know.

Oh my god, Zar.

Zar, there's like this little family

of baby ducks swimming by.

They are like fresh outta the egg.

You should come and have a look.

Yeah, no, that sounds awesome.

I've...

I made a little part for you right here,

so you can come and have a look.

I'm good.

I don't need to fall into the water today.

-You won't fall in.
-Thank you though.

I can swim. I'll save you.

I believe you.

But I think I'm gonna stay.

What a waste.

What even is a nocturnal zoo?

Like, what is that?

Nocturna zoo?

Yeah.

Why?

Oh, this girl wants to take me.

Yeah, I think I have
heard of nocturnal zoos.

They're one of those ones

where the bats are able
to free roam, I think.

And for the fruit bats-

Free roam?

Yeah, yeah.

For the fruit bats, you get little pieces

and chunks of fruit that
you can pop on your shoulder

and stuff and they can
fly in and have a little-

That's the most horrifying
thing I've ever heard.

Yeah, and I think
they've got really big-

And we're supposed to pay for that?

Yeah.

And you've got really big
snake enclosures as well

'cause they apparently like to
come out a bit more at night.

Less people around, things like that.

Oh my god.

Yeah.

No. No.

And I've heard the spider enclosures

are actually the best ones

'cause they have 'em in a black
box dark room sort of thing.

- And-
- I'm gonna be sick actually.

Yeah, there's no glass,
so you can see the web.

What do you mean?

Actually, do you know what?

All I do is say no.

I say no to everything.

I'm a no person.

It's an ugly trait.

Yeah.

(both laughs)

I need to start saying yes to things.

Okay. Yeah.

Maybe I'll just do it.

'll just go.

How bad can it be?

Okay, you'll say yes to a nocturnal zoo,

so why don't you come hiking with me?

Okay, that's where I draw the line.

Fair enough.

Enjoy the spiders and the bats.

I will. Thank you.

Ruth?

Zara?

Hello.

Oh, hi.

I literally just texted
you that I was here.

Oh, sorry.

Oh no, that's okay.

Is this to protect you
from the animals or...

No.

Oh my gosh. No.

That's so embarrassing.

I rode here.

Let me just take that off.

[Zara] Nice.

Yeah, what about you?

Did you ride here?

No, not today.

Would've been a little
bit, a little bit hard.

[Ruth] Yep.

But this, is this
like a, you ride a lot?

Yeah. Everywhere.

Everywhere I go I ride, yeah.

I was in a car accident, so...

Oh my god.

[Ruth] Yeah. That's okay.

Sorry.

[Ruth] That's fine.

Was it bad?

[Ruth] No, there was no damage.

Okay.

[Ruth] But, you know...

And was it like super recent or?

Six years ago.

Yeah.

Yes. Let's go.

(Zara laughs)

Okay, don't judge.

Don't judge it too harshly.

I know that it doesn't have eyes yet.

No, no.

It's coming together.

It's a bit horrifying.

But it looks human now.

Is the head supposed to be like that?

Like what?

Long.

(both laugh)

It's gonna have hair.

It's gonna have voluminous hair.

It's a caricature. Okay?

Yeah. I mean, look-

I'm taking artistic license.

You're doing well.

Mm-hmm.

I think Craig would be really flattered.

I think it looks really, really good.

It looks, yeah.

This is Molly.

This is Mol.

This is a woman.

I'm sure once you paint it.

I'm gonna make the hair longer.

You just, you'll see it.

I promise.

You know what? No.

You don't have the
vision, and that's okay.

I'd like to see you do better.

I'm not an artist.

I don't have hands for clay.

They're too big.

I can palm a basketball, but I can't-

Hands for clay.

No, they...

Yeah.

Specific types of hands?

Clearly.

Look, mine are too big.

-Yours are...
-[Zara] They are.

They're monstrous.

Oh my god.

[Jamie] Yeah.

They're so long.

You're like an alien.

I know.

And I feel like I've probably broken them

so many times playing basketball,

I couldn't possibly have
like a, you know, the...

What are they? Nimble.

-Nimble artist hands.
-Dexterity.

Yeah.

That's what you're going with.

Yeah.

You've broken your
fingers too many times?

But I can appreciate-

You're too young to
claim like arthritis.

I'm an artist appreciator, not doer.

That's so silly.

All humans are artists.

Oh, you.

Silly.

I have the hands of a warrior.

I do. See?

Not the hands of an artist.

Yeah. Hands.

I'd be hopeless at it.

Lies. These are artist hands.

But I think in my
head I'd be really good.

Exactly.

That's all takes.

I just don't have the skill.

I wanna see it.

No.

I wanna see it happen.

Okay.

What am I gonna make?

What should I make?

Make anything you like.

That's not helpful.

Anything at all.

You're a seasoned pro.

I'm coming into this fresh.

A seasoned pro?

I'm not a seasoned pro.

I'm coming into this
fresh and you're not giving-

I've done like two
things, and they sucked.

Why am I doing this?

No.

You're great.

Okay.

I think I know what I'm gonna make.

What are you gonna do?

I don't know.

You went to the zoo today, right?

What was like your favorite animal

that you saw there or something?

I can make that.

Oh my god.

Yes, I went to the zoo today.

There were a lot of animals there.

I don't know if I have a favorite.

Well, that makes sense.

It was a zoo.

- There's probably-
- You make whatever

you wanna make.

How was it?

Was it good?

Yeah, no, it was fun.

It was fine.

Zoo's always good.

Who'd you, um, go with again?

Uh, her name was Ruth.

Yeah.

This is, no, this is very clearly Molly.

I see it.

I can see you, Molly.

If you say so.

Were you out long today?

So much criticism.

No, I'm not-

You're a critic.

I'm not a critic.

You are a critic.

You're criticizing me.

It looks great.

What's that, huh?

I'm trying to give Craig a mohawk,

so that it can go with
your lovely centerpiece.

Oh, I thought you were
going for like a cat.

That would've been cool too.

Sadly no.

Mohawk. Mohawk Craig.

Yeah.

I gotta give her eyes.

She's scaring me.

It'll be a good
accompaniment to your Molly.

-Mm-hmm.
-Mm-hmm.

I wonder what's in there.

It's a big cage.

Yeah, what do you think?

I don't know.

Ooh.

Oh.

(gentle music)

Oh my god.

Danger, quolls bite.

Oh my god.

Oh, hello?

Oh, I thought he was gonna come to me.

Hi.

What you doing, buddy?

Hello.

Are you, oh yep.

Look at his little egg.

It's so cute.

There. See?

Oh my god.

Baby.

Oh my god.

Oh, bye.

What did we do?

(both laughs)

Oh.

Maybe he just got shy.

Nah, it was definitely you.

Me?

Might have been you, Zara.

Never.

It's never you.

Could never be me.

Ooh, Bangal.

I don't know what that is.

Let's go.

(both laughs)

Where is it?

Look at the kangaroo.

I know it's a bad idea, but
I just want to touch them.

You wanna touch the kangaroo?

I just wanna pet it.

Apparently they're dangerous.

Yeah, I believe that.

Like, really dangerous.

You can't do that, Zara.

I believe it.

But my heart-

Oh, see, he's going away now.

He heard you talking about him.

(both laugh)

- They are-
- They just-

Their red eyes.

They're big birds.

They are. They're massive.

I don't trust them.

No neither do I.

No.

I don't trust someone that trusts emus.

(both laugh)

No, once a bird gets
like past a certain size,

that's just...

[Ruth] Oh.

They are just so cute.

I just wanna get their little faces.

Take them home with me.

I wish I could take them home with me.

Right?

Like, look at him.

Oh, so cute.

They look so happy.

It is the life.

How did you even find this place?

Like, have you been here before or?

No, this is my first time.

Hey, I never would've thought of it.

But it's good?

It's a good date.

It's different, right?

-Yeah.
-Yeah.

No, I mean like all my dates previously

have just been in like bars
and you know how that goes.

Yeah.

You know, drunk people all the time.

Right.

And I wanted to get
out of my comfort zone.

I'm glad you like it though.

-I love it.
-Yeah.

I'm loving it.

Okay, so koalas first, then reptiles?

Uh-huh.

God, these eyes are just so hard.

It's so easy to make them look-

Are they though?

Terrifying.

Aren't they just little round balls?

They should be.

I feel like my little cousin
makes those in childcare.

Wow.

The insults.

They never stop.

Just...

All right, show me what you've got then.

Just really finding my art prowess.

Yeah, no, I think I saw one
of those at the zoo earlier.

What do you mean?

(Zara laughs)

Is it a fish or a dinosaur?

It's Craig, so...

(Zara laughs)

Oh my god.

Oh, you went to the zoo.

I did.

Just humble bragging
about it or something.

Trying to weasel in.

So what was she like?

I mean, she was just a girl.

She was fine.

Aren't we all?

(Zara laughs)

-What did you even talk about?
-I'm just a girl.

I don't know, like stuff.

Like what?

I don't know.

Just like what ever we have in common.

Oh, what, is she a poor artist too?

Wow.

Low blow, man.

I'm insecure about this.

I'm just finding myself
in the art world, so...

Finding your voice as a critic.

Yeah.

Once you make art this good,

you have a platform to
kind of critique others.

Well...

(Zara gasps)

Ah. (laughs)

Oi.

Sorry, that was a bit hard.

That actually genuinely
was a little bit hard.

I'm sorry.

(both laughs)

You're lucky I've got my muscles.

I know, you do.

I can't even get my hand around this.

I'm actually quite jealous.

I want...

That's not fair.

You've left clay on me.

Now you.

Show me your biceps.

There we go.

Now we're even.

Now we're even.

Just jiggled my arm fat.

No. (laughs)

I'm trying to leave clay marks on you.

Mm-hmm. Yeah.

You're not succeeding.

You need wet hands.

(both laughs)

That's why he looks 1,000 years old.

You need water. (laughs)

Or, yeah.

Wait, hang on.

Yeah.

I'm stuck.

(both laugh)

And then pat him down?

Mm-hmm.

Oh, do I (laughs)

Thank you.

I think he looks cute though.

He does. He looks adorable. (laughs)

Looks like the pet rock
that I had when I was a kid.

So besides being a crappy artist,

what else did you have in common?

Ugh...

Like...

Stuff. (laughs)

Not a lot.

Not a lot.

Oh.

Shame.

It's fine.

I just suck at dating.

-Really bad at it.
-I'm sure it wasn't you.

I don't know.

Two for two.

I'm the common factor.

No, maybe you just don't
know how to pick 'em.

Yeah, maybe.

Maybe.

Maybe you just needed to
make them a little clay figure

and impress them.

Yeah, they love that.

Yeah, this really says,

"I'm not strange at all and
I'm not gonna murder you."

There you go.

Some payback from before.

Literally where?

Like, it's not, you're just
(laughs) completely ineffective.

Clay painting isn't my strong suit.

I'll leave that to you.

[Ruth] He is adorable.

He looks so soft.

I just wanna touch him.

No, no, no.

You can't.

-No.
-Why not?

Because they have diseases.

No, they don't.

Yes.

No, they don't.

They have chlamydia.

Well, I wasn't gonna touch him there.

Okay, I just need to make sure.

But you're studying, right?

Yeah. Yeah, I'm studying
creative writing at the moment.

Do you like it?

I do actually.

We're looking into some like poetry

and I'm looking at Shakespeare actually.

Okay.

Which I actually am enjoying.

I hated it in high school,

but I'm really loving it at the moment,

so color me surprised.

What do you think is
different about it now?

Compared to like...

I'm actually not sure.

Maybe just-

I'm older.

Yeah.

I don't know if that's it

or if it's like the way
that it's being taught or...

It could be like a mindset thing.

Yeah, it could be.

Could be me.

Yeah.

Oh no, that's good.

I did philosophy.

You did philosophy?

Mm-hmm.

Like Kant, Socrates-

Yeah, all that stuff.

I love that.

Yeah, no, I graduated last year.

It was good.

But I kind of wish I did something
a little bit more useful.

You know, something I can take
with me into the real world.

Like, product sales,
marketing, all that stuff.

I'm really into it.

Yeah, your profile was like super vague.

Yeah, sorry. (laughs)

It's okay.

I was just really curious.

What do you do?

Oh, I have a really good idea,

but I'm kind of hesitant to tell people

'cause I don't want them to steal it.

I'm not gonna steal your idea.

Are you serious?

But we never know.

I wouldn't do it.

But basically I just make money online.

Yeah. Try to.

Okay.

So you like, like do you sell products

or are you like a content creator or?

I...

Maybe not get into it.

Just for now.

Okay. No, fair enough.

But he is so cute.

He is.

Yeah, so we were...

We were like looking at the animals.

As you do at the zoo.

Yeah.

And I was asking questions

'cause I was trying to get to know her,

but then she was just being super...

She's just real weird.

She was being evasive 'cause I was asking-

Really?

Yeah, because she didn't
have like much information

on her profile.

Yeah.

And you went out with this person?

God, I understand how you get catfished.

In my defense, this time
she was a real person.

Yeah.

But like...

Yeah, so I was asking her what she does

'cause she said something about like,

oh, marketing and that
would be handy to know

and all of that.

And I was like, yeah.

Okay.

And so I was like, oh
yeah, like what do you?

What do you actually do?

And then she just like evaded.

And I asked her again, and she
was like not gonna tell me.

She was like, no, I don't wanna,

I don't wanna talk about it.

Maybe she doesn't have a job.

Maybe she wants to get into marketing.

She said she makes money online.

Like, that is super vague.

That could be anything.

Are you sure she's not a scammer?

She didn't happen to say she
needs like a million dollars

to get her mom out of jail or something.

No.

No. She didn't ask for anything.

She didn't...

That's really weird.

It was odd 'cause otherwise
she didn't seem super sketchy.

Like, a bit stressed.

She seemed like a stress ball, but like-

Yeah.

Just makes money online
and needs marketing-

But wouldn't talk about it.

Like, makes money online but
wouldn't talk, 'cause I asked.

Because I was like,

are you content creator,
do you sell things?

And she's like, "Ah, like, ah, let's not."

And I was like,

that's a very vague and
easy question to answer.

Yeah.

(Jamie laughs)

Maybe she was at the
zoo scanning out animals

'cause she sells them.

On the black market or like
the dark web or something.

'Cause that's so vague.

"I make money online."

What is she doing?

You could be...

I don't know, you could be-

Selling organs.

Selling organs. Yes!

Herself or she could be selling...

I don't even wanna know.

I don't wanna think about it.

Did you count your
kidneys before you left?

I didn't, but I didn't wake
up in an ice filled bathtub.

How do you know that's how it goes?

Should I be worried about you?

(both laugh)

Well...

Maybe you just really are bad at dating.

Shut up.

I'm obviously bad at dating.

I don't need you telling me that.

It's not helpful.

I'm just giving you like
some support and encouragement.

That's what this is?

Yeah.

"You're bad at dating."

Reality check.

"It's your fault that
you got catfished."

I'm the hard truth.

Wow.

(Jamie laughs)

I don't want the hard truth.

I want lies. Give me lies.

Give you lies?

Only lies.

That would be cruel.

Stop it.

Are you ticklish?

(both laughs)

I'm not. I'm not ticklish.

(both laughs)

-I'm not ticklish.
-How have we been friends

for that long and I've never noticed?

(both laugh)

(gentle music)

Do you need another drink?

Uh, yeah, sure.

(gentle music continues)

Now that is a dress.

You like it?

Yeah. Do you?

Yeah.

It's your wedding.

Yeah, but you're not your
usual whiny self, so...

Yeah, I just can't believe
you're getting married.

-It's so big, you know?
-I know.

I know.

How did you know that like
he was the one, you know?

Well, kind of easy.

It's all the little things.

He's my best friend, makes me laugh.

He just makes me feel special.

Plus he's got a fat wallet
that's gonna pay for this dress.

So that helps. (laughs)

Noted.

Yeah.

You look beautiful.

Thanks.

Welcome.

You're just wrong about Mr. Darcy.

You're just wrong about him.

How could you like someone

who says your family's disagreeable?

Basically, they suck.

They did! They did!

They sucked.

No, they didn't.

They weren't that bad.

Okay, it's actually less about,

in this case, it's less
about him being like,

"I don't like your family,"

and it's more about the
class system at the time

and the fact that she was like
of such lower birth to him.

Okay, but if he wanted

-to love her, who cares?
-And that marriage

is political.

Well, that's-

Right?

That's the fake love.

And anyway, do you not remember the bit

when he said she's not
handsome enough to tempt me?

How can you move past that?

Okay, actually that is a good point.

Yeah. Thank you.

Because that would stay with me forever.

It would.

It'd just linger inside
of you knowing that.

Okay, but moving past that for a second,

because that is a fair point,
but we'll circle back to that,

if it was like my family,

my family is disagreeable sometimes.

I love them, but they're disagreeable.

Yeah, but that's them as a
person not the class thing.

I just think he should
have looked past it.

He did!

He did! That's the story!

Took him like two times to do it though.

I think that's too many.

Once is enough.

He shouldn't have said it
in the first place actually.

Who goes up to someone and says,

"I love you, but your family suck"?

Mr. Darcy.

(Jamie laughs)

And do you know what?

If someone did that to me,

if they were like, "Listen,
your family kind of sucks",

"but honestly I love you
anyway," I'd be listening.

Even though he said
you weren't hot enough

in the first place.

Mr. Darcy has raw animal magnetism.

He can get away with it.

Yeah.

I don't know.

Hey, I have to go to the
Yarra Valley this afternoon

to collect some water samples

for, you know, that
study for my assignment.

Is this one of those things

where you rope me into
some outdoor expedition

that then involves snakes
and me almost dying?

[Jamie] Well, partly. No snakes.

I promise.

You can't promise that.

[Jamie] Yes, I can.

You can't promise that.

[Jamie] I'll scout the area-

Very casually promising
on behalf of the universe

that there will be no snakes there.

No, we'll keep an eye out.

It'll be fine.

I hear this area's just
really like low snake anyway.

Well, as tempting as all of that sounds-

[Jamie] As it should be.

There's trees, nature, beautiful for you.

I actually have a date,
so I'll be doing that.

But why don't you come
to my place afterwards

and we can finish off
our clay masterpieces.

You can tell me about your water study.

Gripping as that sounds.

It is.

[Zara] And I can debrief about the date.

Yeah. Yeah.

All right.

Come over later.

[Zara] All right, see you then.

See you.

Hello.

Hi, Zara.

-I'm Lydia.
-Nice to meet you.

Nice to meet you.

Oh.

In person.

Nice to meet you in person.

Yes.

It's been nice chatting to you.

Yeah.

So do you wanna go inside,
maybe get a coffee?

I was thinking we could
go to one around the corner

next to the park.

It's a really cute one.

Really good coffee.

Could sit in nature.

You know, breathe in the air.

Sure.

[Lydia] Yeah?

Yep. Why not?

Everyone loves nature, right?

Mm-hmm. Definitely.

Did it take you long to get here?

No, actually.

I live not far from
here, so it wasn't long.

What about you?

So how did you find this cafe
if you don't live nearby?

Well, I used to work
right around the corner.

Oh, that's right, you're a lawyer.

Yeah.

That sounds so intense.

It's very intense.

Very long.

Yeah.

Very responsible.

Yeah. It feels like an adult job.

It very much is an adult job.

Do you like it though?

I mean-

God, you don't.

Oh my god.

There's a lot of reading.

Yeah, no, that's fair.

I like reading though.

I mean, try saying that

when you've read like a 40 page contract.

Yeah, on second thought maybe not.

Yeah.

I have never once read my T's and C's.

Not once.

Definitely should.

Yeah, I'm not going to. (laughs)

Okay.

So tell me something
interesting about yourself.

Interesting about myself.

Mm-hmm.

Okay, um...

I don't know about interesting,
but I'm studying at uni.

I got into my degree wanting
to do creative writing.

I'm still doing creative writing,

but I wanted to do like fantasy
novels, that kind of thing.

That's my interest.

But at the moment, we're studying poetry,

and actually I really love that.

And I wasn't expecting to.

Cool.

But there's a lot of crossover there.

There's like all of the
use of like symbolism

and there's lots of ties to mythology.

-Yeah.
-Hmm.

Alrighty, miss strong oat flat white.

Thank you.

-Cheers.
-Cheers.

Mm. So good.

(Zara sighs)

I haven't had coffee in so long.

How long?

Like two months.

Two months?

Yeah.

No coffee for two months?

No coffee for two months.

Why?

'Cause I was on a wellness
retreat in Thailand.

In Thailand. Oh my god.

Yeah, it was amazing.

And no coffee allowed.

Detoxing.

Wow.

Yeah.

What made you go all the way to Thailand

for a wellness retreat?

Well, to be honest, I was burnt out.

-Like a lot.
-From your job?

Yeah, yeah.

I found myself just working constantly.

And yeah, I just, I was
not present at all in life.

Just go, go, go.

And yeah, literally burnt myself out.

Couldn't get outta bed.

So I was like, "I need to do something."

So, yeah.

Yeah, fair enough.

Yeah.

What was it like?

Amazing.

Amazing.

It was a raw vegan place.

Raw vegan?

Yep.

Okay.

And-

What did you eat?

Food. (laughs)

Raw vegan food.

Thank you.

(both laugh)

My favorite meal was zucchini pasta.

Amazing.

-Is it though?
-So delicious.

It's so delicious.

You can't even tell.

I don't believe you for a second.

No, I'm telling you right now

because it's shredded so thin-

Yeah.

That you can't, like,
the texture is like pasta.

Okay, I have to be
honest, I've never tried it,

so maybe I'm completely wrong,

but I just, I don't think it
would make my heart smile-

I'm telling you right now-

The way that pasta makes my heart smile.

No, it would make you smile.

It would make your heart smile.

Make everything inside you smile.

Okay.

Delicious.

We started off every morning

with like a meditation
on the beach and a yoga.

Yoga session.

(Lydia sighs)

I'd be back.

I wish I was there.

Have you been anywhere?

Have you traveled anywhere?

No, actually, no, I've
never been anywhere.

Really?

I've never been on a plane.

Wow.

Yeah. Crazy.

Wow.

Why?

I don't know.

It's just never, it's never happened.

Yeah, I don't know.

My life is here, and I've
just never had like the urge

to, you know, to take off and go.

Yeah, quite happy at
the moment being here.

That's nice.

Yeah.

Yeah, I feel like I've
left it too long now,

and now I'm like a little
bit afraid of flying.

Really?

Yeah.

You're scared?

Yeah.

I don't know if I would be
scared if I actually went,

but like, just in theory,
it's a little bit daunting.

Yeah, I mean, it can be for sure.

I was definitely scared of
flying when I was a kid.

Yeah.

Yeah. You get used to it.

Ow.

[Lydia] What is that?

[Zara] Ant.

Oh, cute.

[Zara] Cute?

Yes.

I love ants.

No, they have too many legs.

They do.

The ideal number of legs is
four for any living thing.

It's only two more than that.

They've got six.

Humans are wrong.

Wrong.

These upright, awful creatures.

And everything has like four legs.

Cats, dogs, horses.

They're doing it right.

They look right.

I reckon six is a really
good amount of legs.

Mm-mm. Mm-mm.

Too many.

Imagine what you could
do if you had six legs.

Once you've got more than
four legs, you can scuttle.

That's wrong. (laughs)

They scurry.

No.

So every ant that you see
walking around is a female.

Really?

I didn't know that.

Males have wings.

They're called drones.

So it's how you can tell the difference.

[Zara] Okay.

And they just mate with
the queen and then die, so...

You don't see them very often.

Yeah, that's cool.

They're amazing.

Like, if you think about it,

there's thousands of ants in a colony,

sometimes tens of thousands,

and every single one of those
ants has come from one queen.

That's insane.

Yeah.

That is insane.

And they all work
together as a collective

for their purpose, which is to survive.

So they all have each different roles

and each, you know, different purpose.

It's so cool.

So there's minors and medias
and majors and super majors.

You know a lot about ants.

I do.

Oh my god.

Ow!

Did you just kill it?

[Zara] It bit me.

It was just one ant.

Sorry.

I'm so sorry I'm late.

Oh, hello.

I was on a date.

I'm so sorry.

She was educating me all about ants.

Apparently they can hold
5,000 times their weight

or something.

I don't know.

I don't actually care.

That's great.

I'm sorry.

It's okay.

It's really hot out here.

I'm so sorry. Come on.

It is.

I mean, at least you can
kinda tell it's Molly now.

It was always Molly.

Yeah, in spirit maybe.

No. It was always Molly.

(both laugh)

No, but it's coming together.

You're doing really well.

This is taking way longer
than I thought it would.

I don't remember it taking this long

when I did it in high school.

You did it in high school?

Yes.

What, like year seven?

Year 10.

Oh.

Couldn't tell.

Have you done it since or...

No.

No, hence my belief that
it would go quicker.

I reckon you'll still
be able to finish it.

And if you don't, if it-

I'm definitely gonna do both of them.

This is just, this will have to be Craig.

Yeah.

I can see it.

Well, that's why I put
so much effort into it.

They're a lovely couple.

(both laugh)

I was intending for it to-

Oh my god, Molly's gonna hate it.

She's gonna hate it.

Gentle with Craig.

Sorry.

No, I'm sure she'll, it's
the thought that counts.

The fact that you put in this effort.

I'm sure she'll appreciate it.

Eh, no.

That's not really how
Molly works, unfortunately.

That is rough.

She's the most critical
person I think I have ever met.

God.

I just thought I would have more time.

I've just been so busy.

Everybody wants to date me.

I'm sure.

Oh well.

Lydia's not gonna wanna
see me again anyway.

Why not?

Because...

She was like talking about ants.

She's very passionate about
ants, which is, that's great.

That's awesome.

Completely ignoring the
fact that they're creepy.

But like I may have kind of
accidentally stood on an ant.

And she got really upset.

Yeah, well I know she's
obviously really passionate

about 'em.

Yeah, I know.

I know.

I mean, you shouldn't call 'em creepy.

They are though.

No, but she appreciates them.

I'm not talking to her though, am I?

I'm talking to you.

Yeah, still.

It's just, you said Molly's critical.

Well...

Anyway, she freaked out

like I stepped on her mother or something.

You don't have to be mean.

As if I'm the one
being critical of people.

You started this with Isabel
sends too many messages and-

Yeah, but I was being critical.

I was just pointing that stuff out.

It's what they do.

It's not being mean about it.

Okay, well...

It's fine.

Got another date lined up anyway.

I'm meeting Brooke.

You meet her on the apps too?

Yeah.

Yeah.

She seems nice.

Well, just keep swiping away.

Not sure it'll work.

I'm just gonna have to buy
some, there's just no way.

Yeah, you're gonna
have to fix his mohawk.

I will fix his mohawk, I promise.

And I've made a mess.

Brooke?

Oh, hi, Zara.

Yeah. Hi.

Oh.

These are for you.

For me?

Yeah.

Oh my god.

No one's ever got me flowers before.

Oh really?

Yeah, no, really never.

Oh my gosh.

Actually no, my grandma
did once on Valentine's Day,

but that was a pity thing.

So that doesn't count, obviously.

Well, it counts a little bit.

But yeah.

They're so beautiful.

I'm a florist, so
someone brought them back

and I just didn't want
'em to go to waste 'cause-

They're reject flowers.

No, no, no.

No, I get it.

I just wanted someone to
enjoy them, someone special.

So yeah.

That's really sweet.

They're beautiful.

You're a florist.

What's that like?

A little bit stressful.

Stressful?

[Brooke] Yeah.

You're a florist.

I know, I know.

Most people don't believe it,

but it's just managing a small team.

It's a little bit overwhelming sometimes.

Like, doing a lot of
things yourself, so yes.

But it's nice to be around
nature all day, you know?

All day, every day.

I'm really glad that I
picked fruit picking.

Yes. I really seem to
be attracting this energy.

Sorry about that.

[Brooke] It's so fine.

(bright music)

Looking at me.

Look at us.

What is that?

Oh.

(bright music continues)

I feel like I kind of
wore the wrong shoes.

It's the shoes, isn't it?

Mine have got a little heel on them.

And then like, I can't quite see

where there are like
little potholes or like-

Well, there's like all these
little seeds on the ground

that are sabotaging us. (laughs)

They are. They're sabotaging us.

You can't see them and then it's like, oh.

Oh my gosh.

But yeah, no, this is the
perfect fruit picking outfit.

Oh, you think so?

Yeah, definitely.

It's beautiful.

It's very cottage core

with the flowers and stuff like that.

Yeah, but the flower,
they're the perfect color.

It's like berries or, you know?

This is exactly what I
wanted to find when I,

I knew it wasn't there,

but when I opened my wardrobe-

[Brooke] Being a florist,
I have a lot of clothes

with flowers on them, so...

You got one?

Yeah.

All right, ready?

We'll go at the same time.

Okay.

One, two, three.

Oh my god.

Oh wow.

This is so good.

Oh my gosh. (laughs)

Oh.

So what made you pick fruit picking?

Well, okay, full disclosure.

My cousin is getting married

and I wanna bake her
a cake for the wedding

and I wanna make it a fruit cake.

Okay.

And so I need to pick a bunch of fruit

and experiment with some things.

So I'm just free labor.

Like, a little bit.

(both laugh)

Two birds, one stone.

That's okay. I'll be your labor.

Thank you.

I've actually never done
anything like this before,

which is kind of odd.

But I like to do new
things all the time, so...

[Zara] Okay, like what?

Well, recently I went
skydiving for the first time.

[Zara] Skydiving?

Where you go off in a plane

and you take the worst possible exit.

(both laugh)

Yes. The most dramatic exit.

[Zara] Yes. Yes, it could have been.

And it was the first
plane I've ever been in too.

I jumped out.

You're insane.

[Brooke] Yeah.

Wow.

[Brooke] It's true.

This is very good.

[Brooke] It is very good.

You're nuts though.

I can't help that.

[Brooke] It's true. I am.

But you spend enough time with me,

you might become nuts too.

Not that nuts.

(Brooke laughs)

I will not be jumping out of a plane.

You'll have to push me.

[Brooke] We can arrange that. (laughs)

They're so fuzzy.

They're actually quite a different shape

to like what I'm used to.

Really?

I feel like when I was younger,

my mom made a birthday cake for me

and there was apricots on the top,

but they didn't look like this, you know?

It's a mystery.

Speaking of, when's your birthday?

The 28th of August.

Okay, cool, cool, cool.

So you're a Virgo?

That's what they tell me.

(laughs) Who's they?

(Zara laughs)

All right.

That's cool.

Are you like, do you know
any more of your chart or?

Not really. Like...

I know some people are really into it

and they get something out of it,

but I've never really...

I don't know, I just don't...

That's okay.

I'm maybe one of those people,

(both laugh)

I knew it. I knew it.

Go on.

Who am I?

Psychoanalyze me.

Well, like do you want a little reading?

Yeah, sure. Why not?

Yeah? Do you know what
time you were born as well?

It was like early in the morning.

Do you know like exact?

I think it was eight o'clock.

Is that like...

Usually we do like,

like I've calculated
a lot of charts before

and done readings for my
friends and stuff, but-

Okay.

We need the exact birth time

because depending on that it will change

like the housing system
and things like that,

which is where the individual,

I'm pretty sure that
it was eight o'clock.

I'm pretty sure.

Okay, well...

We can put it in?

Got my phone. Yes.

We can put it in.

What are your birth details?

Okay.

28th of August.

Mm-hmm.

2005.

Right.

And location.

Box Hill.

Okay.

Have you ever done this before?

No.

Okay.

No. This could say anything. (laughs)

All right.

Let me just do that.

Okay.

Oh.

Okay.

All right.

Interesting, interesting, interesting.

Just...

(Brooke laughs)

Just put me outta my misery.

Psychoanalyze you.

All right, well, I mean,

we can just start with the Virgo sun.

Okay.

Virgo is known as an archetype

that is connected to service

because the symbol for
Virgo is the Virgin.

Okay.

And so they are often very helpful

and they like to give
back to the community.

They like doing,

acts of service is kind of
like their love language.

They are ruled by Mercury,

which is all about
communication and details.

So they can be very
systematic and organized.

And sometimes, like I usually
say there's a shadow aspect

and a healed aspect to
all of the different signs

and archetypes.

So in their shadow side,
they're more so perfectionist

because of the detail
orientated nature of them.

And they can be really critical

because they are noticing
all those details.

(Zara laughs)

So (laughs)

Yes, I've definitely seen that

in some of my other Virgo friends.

And they are also connected
to the Hermit card in tarot,

which is, I mean, the Hermit.

So they can be very introspective,

and socially that can lead
to a bit of awkwardness.

But it depends.

Like, it really-

My mom calls me a hermit.

Oh, really?

Yeah.

(Brooke laughs)

Well, you know, being a
hermit can be very powerful.

So there's a lot of time for
introspection and learning

and that can help you
find your way in life.

I would say due to the
combination of these things,

sometimes it's challenging
for Virgos to take risks,

but when they do, you
know, if it's for a person

or a situation-

I don't like this anymore.

(both laugh)

Why? Is it like...

No.

-No.
-Too close?

It is.

Okay.

It actually is.

Yeah?

Well, that's just your sun sign.

Like, there's so much in a chart.

So like you can go into the moon sign,

you can go into all the different planets,

and they reveal certain
aspects of your life

and your particular energy

that you might be bringing to situations.

And it's also just a great
tool to help understand

where we can develop ourselves personally.

Okay.

I think that's why it's
so popular at the moment,

because I mean, lots of people,
like it's a pseudoscience,

which technically it is.

It's also kind of a
spirituality though, isn't it?

Well, yeah, it is a way for people

to feel connected to something bigger

or the universe in a way.

And that's becoming
even more important now

with like how we are so affected

by being disconnected from that.

Right.

And being disconnected
from nature. Yeah.

So it's just an awesome tool
for personal development.

And I think like our generation
is just all about that.

Yeah.

Yeah. Wow. Okay.

That's a little bit spooky.

(both laugh)

Yes.

'Cause I was gonna say,

like, the one that I didn't think fit

was like the acts of service thing,

but actually now that
I'm thinking about it,

like I'm making a cake.

It's true.

And I'm making these little
figurine things for the cake.

Yeah.

Yes.

Oh, Virgo, they love to go all out

for the people that they love.

Yeah.

They're often like adding little things.

I mean, my dad's a Virgo
and he paints houses,

and he often goes like above and beyond

whatever he's kind of contracted to do.

And sometimes it's like...

Sometimes it's like-

Set boundaries.

Yes, exactly.

For your workplace.

Well, yeah, that is
another thing with Virgo too,

just 'cause of like the axis
it's on with Pisces, but...

Bless.

And the perfectionist thing.

Yes.

Yeah.

Perfectionism all the way.

I mean, he's only worked by
himself, like his whole career,

- so-
- I feel that.

I get that.

Oh yeah.

I'm a Virgo.

Damn it.

Now I'm one of you.

It's true.

I mean, I'm not a Virgo, but
lots of Virgo energy around me,

so I mean...

(both laugh)

I seem to attract it.

Oh, I'm really...

Right.

Feeling it.

I ate way too many of those.

They're so good.

Yeah, they were.

I couldn't stop eating.

But then I also wasn't paying attention

to how much like I was eating.

No, I couldn't tell you how many I ate,

but it was too many.

We do have to remember to get some

for your actual pie situation.

Yeah, we'll get a bucket.

We'll get a bucket.

(Brooke laughs)

(Zara sighs)

Yeah, I guess tonight I
gotta look up some recipes.

Yeah.

Start experimenting.

If you need any help
with the baking and stuff-

Really?

I'll put my hand up. Yeah.

I mean, I can also ask my nan
too if she has any recipes

'cause I know-

Oh my god, yes.

Got some family recipes.

Amazing.

Actually...

So my cousin, who I told
you is getting married.

It's true.

She is actually getting
married next weekend.

Okay.

So I am not sure if you're
busy or if you want to,

but yeah, I am going to a
wedding and I get a plus one.

Okay.

Just if you...

Yeah.

Hey.

We should hang out later.

Do you wanna come over?

I would, but I moved
my hiking dates up sooner

so I could finish my assignment.

That's fine.

It's okay.

[Jamie] Enjoy the wedding though.

Thanks.

I, um, I think that I
might have found a solution

to my problem.

Yeah.

Yeah, I think I found
someone to go with.

I mean, we get along really well.

I feel like I know her.

She's great.

Her name is Brooke.

She's amazing.

(gentle music)

Congratulations.

Are you okay?

Have I done something wrong?

No.

No. Enjoy the wedding.

Okay...

Well, that couldn't have gone any worse.

Really?

Yeah. Really.

I'm just gobsmacked. That's all.

They couldn't even get flowers right.

They're just flowers, man.

It's not gonna ruin the day.

Yeah, they're just flowers.

Yeah, I guess.

Just everything's not gonna go right

if I don't have everything perfect.

I'm just...

What's wrong?

Nothing.

Okay.

Have you figured out who
you're gonna be bringing

to the wedding yet?

Yeah, I have.

Okay.

Who?

It's a girl.

Is that okay?

Yeah, of course it is.

Good.

Does this girl have a name?

Yeah, her name's Brooke.

Oh, okay.

What?

Nothing.

That wasn't nothing. What?

Just would've thought that
you would've brought Jamie.

Oh, no.

I wanted to bring someone
that I'm actually dating.

Hmm.

Okay.

What?

I've just seen the way
that Jamie looks at you.

I'm not stupid, but-

What do you mean?

Oh, it's a look.

Molly, wait, what do you mean?

Wow.

Wow indeed.

(both laugh)

I didn't know that art
could be 100 spoons on a wall.

Nay, I didn't know it could be so moving.

Yes.

Especially that teapot.

Oh my god. The teapot.

(Brooke laughs)

Maybe I should be an artist.

Yeah. Make a bunch of money
from putting spoons on a wall.

Yes, exactly.

Yeah. It was kind of
different to what I expected.

Yeah?

Yeah.

What were you expecting?

I don't know. I guess-

Bunch of clay genitals just lined up.

Oh gosh.

Yeah. No-

You laugh, but I've seen it. (laughs)

Ah!

Well, as punishment,

next time I will take
you to a poetry slam.

Oh?

Yes.

Okay. Okay.

I promise it's good.

Even if it's bad, like it's still good.

I promise.

It's an event.

You go-

Okay.

Then you go afterwards
and you talk about it.

Yeah.

And it's always so angsty.

It really is.

I've seen like clips and
things on the internet.

Okay, so I gotta catch my bus.

Like now?

(both laugh)

Like very soon.

Okay, well...

(gentle music)

What are you doing later?

Tonight?

Mm-hmm.

(Zara sighs)

[Jamie] Leave a message.

I'll get back to you as soon as I can.

Hey, Jamie, um...

Yeah, I just, I just really
wanted to talk to you.

Yeah, things have been
really weird with us

and we haven't, yeah, been
hanging out quite so much.

And I just...

I really miss you. That's all.

Um...

Yeah, so please just call me back

'cause I just wanna talk to you.

That's all.

Okay.

(gentle music)

Zara.

Hey.

Oh my god. Hi.

Yeah. Hi.

How you doing?

Are you good?

Yeah, no, I'm good.

Good.

That's good.

You look nice.

I like your fit.

Thank you. You too.

Thanks. Thanks.

What about you? You good?

Yeah, no, just same old stuff, you know?

Just, yeah.

So I've been really, really busy,

and I just haven't had the time-

Please, babe. It's fine.

Don't worry.

Do not worry about it.

You're really great, but we're just not.

No, no.

Like, you're great too.

Like, I think we both kind of
got the vibe wasn't vibing.

So that's fine.

It happens.

So are you like busy right now?

No, not at all.

Did you wanna like, I don't know,

get a drink or something?

Right now?

Yeah.

Coffee?

I just, I don't actually know what to do.

She might not even like me.

Well, you can only find
out by, I don't know, asking.

If you just ask.

Oh God, I can't do that.

Why not? Why not?

No, seriously.

Like, what would be the worst thing

that would happen if you just asked?

Well, I actually can't.

She's not around.

When she comes back and you're
in the same room, why not?

Like, what, she says,
"I don't reciprocate."

Oh well.

Like, if she's that cool,

she's not really gonna mind, right?

Yeah.

What?

What if she doesn't like me?

Well, what if she does?

You know, you gotta ask.

You can't just not ask.

When she gets back.

She is pretty cool.

She listened to my slam poetry.

Oh my god.

That is so, so marriage.

So marriage.

Oh, and the clay molding thing.

I don't know what you're saying.

Clay is cool.

Y'all are dating.

You're married, I fear.

I fear you're taken.

I think that's just it.

Again, if she's willing to
listen to your slam poetry,

I think she's gonna-

It's good.

Peace and love. Sure it is.

But like, that's a big ask.

I don't know if I could commit

to going to someone's slam poetry.

She sounds cool.

I don't think she's gonna hate you.

She's like halfway up a mountain.

Why can't you wait till she gets back?

You don't have to go right now.

Actually, she's gonna
miss the wedding, so...

You're getting married?

(both laugh)

My cousin's getting married
and I need to take a date,

and...

Well, does it have to be her?

I'm free.

Thank you. Thank you for the offer.

But I just, I don't wanna take anyone else

just in case like she finds
out and it upsets her.

Like, what if that's the
reason that I don't get a shot,

you know?

That'd be really dumb.

So you don't wanna take anyone else?

No.

I can't go by myself.

The catering deposit is paid.

My cousin will kill me.

Oh, we can't have that.

So it kind of sounds like
you know what you want to do.

(gentle music)

Hi.

Hi.

So why are you here?

Isn't the wedding tomorrow?

Yes, it is.

Yeah. Not stressed?

I am stressed, actually.

I'm stressed about my entire
extended family coming together

who all hate each other, by the way.

And my cousin who is
a complete bridezilla.

And so what,

you thought being out in
nature would ease your stress?

Maybe.

I don't know.

I thought maybe I should listen to you,

take some advice for once.

Yeah?

Not scared of a snake
slithering over your foot?

Yes. I am actually.

Thanks for mentioning it.

Yeah. My immediate family's all right.

Like-

Yeah.

My mom's great,

but then as soon as you can
bring her sisters into the mix,

it's just a nightmare.

Yeah, when they like get
all together and stuff.

Yeah.

One of them in particular,
just classic, you know,

just always like, "You know,
why did you cut your own hair?"

"I've got a hairdresser
that I can set you."

"Can't you afford a hairdresser?"

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

"Or maybe I should just call..."

"When are you gonna get married?"

Ow, ow.

[Jamie] Are you okay?

Yeah, sorry.

I'm all right. I'm all right.

I'm okay.

I think I just need to...

Ow, ow, ow.

Here, here.

Here lean into me. Readjust.

Sorry.

No, you're okay.

I got you.

Okay.

That's it.

Might hurt a bit, but I'm
just gonna keep your foot...

Yeah, good job.

Honestly, thank God
you know how to do this.

You're a lifesaver.

Yeah. I literally was.

What do you mean?

Yeah, I was a lifeguard in school.

Good little way to make
money on the weekends.

Were you up on one of those,

you know, those big tall chairs

where you watch the kids in the pool?

Oh, I-

With a whistle.

Did you have a whistle?

I did have a whistle.

"No running" was my favorite phrase.

But no, I wish I had a chair.

We kind of just had to stand
around and watch the pools.

Yeah, I'm just gonna go a bit tighter.

There's a bit of excess.

There.

So I'm just gonna tuck
it in the top, okay?

I've left a bit of room on the
heel so you can put shoes on.

Okay.

And all that.

Give it a try.

Yeah, I just...

Ah.

I don't know if I'm gonna be
able to walk back on this.

Really?

That's what I'm worried about. Yeah.

And you didn't...

Like, no one's picking you up or?

No.

Literally no one knows I'm here.

It was kind of spontaneous.

Yeah, I guess you could
stay here if you want.

I mean, I just, I didn't
bring like a sleeping bag

or a tent or...

Portapotty or whatever
you've got going on here.

That's okay.

I think I could unzip my sleeping bag

and it'd be like a blanket, if you want.

Yeah.

I mean, if you're, are you okay with that?

Yeah.

Okay, then, yeah.

Thank you.

I look like a warrior.

I look so tough right now.

(both laugh)

-Ow.
-That should be fine.

Don't prod it.

Okay.

So fortunately enough
I have found two cans.

Oh.

Beans and Spaghetti.

Dibs.

Actually, I think I have some snacks

that I packed for the road.

Yeah.

So are you like a fan of
cold beans or something?

I'm a camper.

We're camping.

Yeah.

Oh, come on.

It's good, is it?

Actually yes.

You should do this when you camp.

I would, but I've actually
got a camp stove, you know?

Whatever, man.

Sorry.

It's okay.

The ground's pretty dry though,

so like I'm just looking
after the environment.

Don't worry. I'm fire safe.

Yeah, it's a bad day for a fire.

This is actually really good.

Yeah, I'll take your word for it.

It's messy though.

(both laugh)

Oh my god. It's dripping.

You want some?

I think I'm all right.

I think I'll go with the spaghetti.

This is a stitch up.

Go.

This is good.

I'm actually so hungry.

I'll give it a try.

You've spoken it.

See, it's not bad.

Like, you think it would
be bad, but it's not.

Leave that one to you.

You didn't like it?

It's all right.

It's 'cause you didn't
try it with the chips.

And it's your own damn fault.

All right,

so I've just gotta go get
another sample from the stream.

Are you sure you'll be
all right by yourself?

Yeah, I'll be fine.

If you say so.

Shouldn't be too long though. Yeah?

Okay.

[Jamie] Don't have too
much fun by yourself.

Mm-hmm.

(bugs chirping)

Hey.

I just wanted to say I'm
sorry I've been acting

a bit weird recently.

You're always weird.

Rude.

You're friends with me.

I don't know what to tell you.

You're not normal.

Yeah, maybe it's a pity friendship.

(Zara gasps)

No, no, no.

I'm kidding, I'm kidding, kidding.

No, I don't know.

It just...

It kind of feels like we
haven't had a lot of time

to hang out, you know?

And you're studying an
absolutely nonsense degree,

so I know that's not it.

Oh my god. (laughs)

I'm hurt.

Well...

Facts are facts.

I'm a science girl.

This is-

I'll have you know my
course is very demanding.

Creatively demanding, but
demanding nonetheless.

If you say so, if
that helps you graduate.

Perfect.

It does.

Yeah, and then all the
dates that you go on,

it's just like, when are we hanging out?

-Yeah.
-Yeah.

Yeah. Sorry about that.

No, it's all right.

It happens.

You should try it actually.

What? Creative writing?

Dating.

You never go out with anyone.

Yeah, as far as you know.

You're not with me 247.

Are you keeping me secrets?

Maybe.

What?

No, I don't have time between
all of my uni assignments

and everything and keeping
up with your antics.

It's just...

Not enough time in a day, honestly.

I think you could be
good at it actually.

I'm really bad at it.

I'm really, really bad. (laughs)

No, well...

What about, um, what was her name? Brooke?

Yeah, Brooke.

Yeah, yeah. What about her?

I mean, yeah, she's great actually.

She's beautiful.

She's funny.

We get along.

She's kind of like airy.

Mm.

I don't know.

What's the problem?

She's really into horoscopes.

(both laughs)

Not normal.

What?

Are you scared she'll be
able to read your red flags

from the stars?

Yes.

Well, valid.

She did.

She did!

She did.

She read them to me.

Well, there you go.

What?

Did the stars say that you
aren't compatible or something?

I don't actually know.

Mm.

About that. I didn't ask.

You might have to read
some tea leaves or something

and see if the second date's in the cards

or if the wedding will go well.

Yeah.

(bugs chirping)

(tense music)

(Zara screams)

(upbeat music)

What?

What happened?

You all right?

Oh my god.

I just saw some kind of animal.

Animal?

Yeah.

Yeah? What kind?

I don't know what kind.

It just like came right for me.

It was probably just a native rat.

Oh, good. Great.

So your ankle's doing better then?

Uh, yeah.

Yeah, it's not, it's
not as bad as I thought.

Clearly.

So, um...

I'm sorry I lost our toilet paper.

That's fine.

I'm not going back for it.

But if you're gonna go to the wedding,

you should probably head off now, right?

Yeah. Um...

Yeah, I should do that.

[Jamie] That's good.

Did you forget something or?

Yeah, I, um...

Actually, I wanted to ask you maybe if...

Would you like to come to
the wedding too with me?

I thought you wanted
it to be a real date.

Yeah.

If that's what you want.

Um...

I do have some-

Do you know what?

It's okay. It's actually fine.

No, I'm sorry.

It's okay, you don't have to explain.

Really it's fine.

It's fine.

No, I just know how much
appearances mean to you and...

I just...

I didn't wanna feel like I'm being used.

Yeah.

Sorry.

No, no, of course.

I totally get that.

You know what, actually?

I don't even wanna go to the wedding.

I haven't wanted to go from the start.

I hate everyone there.

I don't wanna go.

I mean, the person that
I wanna be with the most

and spend time with the most
isn't gonna be there, so...

Actually, if it's okay with
you, if it's not gonna be weird,

would it be all right

if maybe we just hung out here instead?

You wanna stay here? In nature?

[Zara] The irony is
not lost on me, but yes.

I probably overfilled
my samples the other day,

so I could probably
spread 'em out over days.

Fudge some numbers.

If you did still want
to go to the wedding.

You want to, you
wanna go to the wedding?

With me?

Would it be a real date?

I mean, yes?

Yeah.

[Zara] Yes?

Yeah.

Yeah.

(upbeat music)

Wait, no, but-

[Zara] What? What?

Actually, if we are gonna
make it to the wedding,

we probably should leave now.

Yeah, we should definitely head back now.

[Zara] Yes. Yes.

It's a fair hike.

[Zara] Okay, what do I do? What do I do?

No, put that down.

Take that one.

Put it in there.

Just let me help.

(both laugh)

Come on.

Watch the tent poles.

Okay.

Ready.

How do I look?

Beautiful.

Oh, you're just saying that.

No, no, no, no.

You don't know how many
times I've wanted to say that

to you.

We should go.

I mean, we could be like
one, maybe two minutes late.

(both laugh)

(upbeat music)
