Honest, bro, that fake chicken was so good, man.

- Bro. - Dox,

she even bought fake bacon.

Hey, chicken I get but... Man, you can't be fakin' bacon.

What about the price of avocados now?

They reckon if you give up avocado on toast,

takeaway coffees, you can afford a deposit for a house.

Yeah, right! This is my third place, man.

Owners keep selling, and we keep moving.

It's fucked.

Māngere College.

You spoke at the assembly. Yeah. You were really brave.

- I spoke after you. - Oh, yeah. You're that rugby guy.

- Yeah. - Yeah, man.

He's that rugby guy.

- Shot, boys. - Later, dox.

- Yeah. - Catch you later, rugby guy.

- Yeah. Fa. - Fa.

Next week.

Where you heading?

Uh, work.

Well, hop in. I'll give you a ride.

What if I work in Papakura?

You're walking to Papakura?

Hey, you know that speech that you gave at assembly that day?

Really stuck with me, eh.

Hop in.

You seeing anyone?

I'm married, bro.

Yeah. I'm good.

Hey. Would you like to talk about topsoil?

Right.

Yeah. So, we're talking about the anti-chemical fertiliser bylaw,

if that's something you're interested in.

You wanna try the best honey you've ever tasted?

- No, thanks. - Oh, have you heard about

- the new bylaw? It's coming. - No, sorry. Not interested.

Tough crowd.

You know, if you come down the marae, you might just get our vote.

If you look here, it talks about regenerative farming

and how it gives to the land so it works with ya.

Oh, right, because as indigenous people,

we don't know how to care for our land?

Come on. It's not like you all live off the land like you used to, is it?

We don't want a bit of paper, Gerald. It's kanohi ki te kanohi.

Face to face.

This is all well and good, but nothing beats a kai and kōrero.

Kia ora. I'm Ellie. I use she/her pronouns,

and... I'm stoked to be here.

Uh, hi, I'm Seth. My pronouns are he/him.

Thanks.

Uh, I'm Anahera.

She/her.

And I'm queer as fuck.

Kia ora. Madison. She/her.

So, as you all know,

I'm Lala. She/her.

Thanks a mil for organising this.

Your turn.

Um, they/them feels... yeah, good.

Mean.

Why don't you take one of these and learn something?

About farming? Nah, I'm good, mate.

How about saving money? How much you spend on phosphates this year?

Oh, probably about the same amount you lot have spent

on sparkly pants and feather boas.

- You wanna talk about wardrobe? - Stop it.

You and your mates are a fuckin' joke.

- Hey, arsehole. What's your name? - Hey, stop it!

This isn't working, and you lot aren't helping.

Gerald.

But he was like, 'Well, there's no contraceptive that's 100%

except abstinence.'

So I just looked at him, and I just said,

Well, I'm having sex with my cis girlfriend.'

His face...

Ah! That's exactly what Dr Harris looks like.

Honestly, Caz, why did you even come back?

Um...

Believe me, I thought the same thing when he left Auckland.

Now I get it.

Caz?

- Caz! - What is he doing here?

Caz. Can I...

Can I talk to you in private?

Come back.

- What are they fighting about? - Not Rainbow people!

Um...

I gotta go.

I... I don't know.

What happened?

Caz?

Sorry about that, folks.

- Are you hungry? Shall we get pizza? - Yeah.

Um, hey, people, the mayor's here.

'Mayor' as in transphobic mayor who deadnamed you?

That's the one.

- I'm looking for Taylor. - Why?

I'm Taylor's mother.

- Taylor. - Yeah.

They went out the back way.

They? Who is they?

Kia ora. We don't know each other. I'm Ellie Haare.

I'm from an organisation in Auckland

that works with youth, and we're holding-

Yes, it's quite clear what you're doing.

You and your organisation are not welcome here.

No, no, no, no. You're the one that's not welcome here.

This is my shop, and you're being an arsehole to my mates,

so I think you need to leave.

Taylor, come out here right now, please.

You heard me. Go.

Colleen, if you and Taylor need to talk, I'm here to help.

Fuck.

Taylor.

- Get stuffed. - Taylor, get in.

Taylor, get in the car right now!

Come on.

I went to pick you up from soccer, and your coach said

you didn't even turn up. I knew you'd be with that lot.

Are you just going to that club to show support for your friends?

Yeah, Mum. To support.

That's a very kind thing to do, honey.

Jem just stood there while Dad had a go at me.

Yeah. I think that you need to ease up on Jem a bit.

And then he ran off when Richter was coming.

Yeah, well, I'm not getting in the middle of this.

Wait.

Did Jem say something to you?

- Don't. - Tell me.

Look, that's it. Ask your dad for the boat, cos clearly, we need it.

I don't think I'm ready for that. And I don't wanna talk to Dad.

Oh my God. For a youth worker,

your interpersonal communication skills need a bit of work.

Just fuckin' ask him.

Please.

Fine.

Boat? Intriguing.

Anahera...

Yeah.

We're heading back to Auckland.

We're not exactly welcome here.

Well, that's...

That's... that's cool.

I just I just need to go and fix these miniature chairs.

I don't know if any of you heard all the carry-on on the radio today.

No one was talking about the science.

So we're losing.

I didn't mean to take it out on you or your mates.

I'm sorry.

You know they signed up 36 people to the campaign, right?

When?

After you told us all that we weren't helping

and that we should leave. Zeph started DJing.

- Go figure. - So mostly young people.

To be expected, it's their future.

Thank you.

I mean it.

Well, um...

let's see what's for dinner.

Hey, uh, the boat.

Me, Anahera and Jem wanna take it out tomorrow.

Sure. I'll check it out first thing.

- Jesus! - What the fuck!?

Ellie, careful. There's glass.

I think I see something.

What just happened?

Did someone throw something through the window?

Dad, what does it say?

Dad.

Is everyone okay?

At least that'll be better than the cardboard.

Fuck those fuckers up, eh?

- Politically, I mean. - Oh. Yes, ma'am.

Thank you.

Thank you.

- It's been a blast. - It's been something.

Has it?

Look, um...

there's something I wanna say, and it's that thing where if I leave

and I don't say it, I'm just gonna be thinking about it, like, forever.

Yeah, same. Um...

Just say it.

- Wear your life jacket, eh? - Snap.

Yeah.

Yeah.

OK, let's roll.

Thank you.

For what?

- My name. - Eh?

Aw. But it wasn't me.

Oh, Gerald was up early, sparking up the motor and stuff.

Ahh.

He said he was checking for fuel blockages.

You all right?

Yeah. Just remembering how much I hate this.

Ellie confuses the fuck out of me.

And now she's gone.

And now I don't know how she feels.

And so that's it. Next.

So, since I...

came out...

God, even saying that is weird. Um...

I feel like this someone doesn't support me.

- I don't support you? - Ah, this someone

needs to shut up and start following the rules of the boat of truth.

- That's all. - Are you sure?

Yeah.

Well, I don't have anything to say.

Sorry.

Nah, this was... a bad idea.

Oh jeez.

- The wife... - OK.

OK? She's related to us. Mata is her name.

Ugh! Jesus on a...

- ... bicycle. - Gerald. Shoes.

Oh.

Whina's been on at me to come down and talk to you all about the bylaw.

I didn't mean whenever you felt the urge.

We like to welcome our visitors before coming on to the marae,

rather than have them come on unannounced.

Um...

In Auckland, I was... I was seeing someone.

And I loved him.

I think he loved me.

But we had to keep it a secret.

Not that anyone would believe me.

We'll believe you.

Andy Ainofo.

What?

My boyfriend was Andy Ainofo.

Holy shit.

He died, and...

I miss him.

Look, I came to talk to you about the bylaw because you get it.

- You have history with the land. - We're in the middle of a meeting.

Uh, e hoa, haere hoki atu.

Another time.

I just wanna chat, for Christ's sakes.

- Gerald! - Gerald Davis.

I can see it clearly now.

Cousin, this is not the time.

- He's Ake's son. - Does anyone here listen?

Your birth father was my husband's older brother.

You look just like them.

My father, Jim Davis, is dead.

You've got a big family waiting for you back home.

No. I...

- Just leave me alone. - Gerald.

Kia ora. Ellie here. Leave me a message,

and I'll get back to you.

Kia ora, Ellie. Uh, did you leave your charger behind? Cos...

I found one that you might like.

That's not what I wanted to say.

What I What I wanted to say was that...

I should have won karaoke that night.

Fuck it.

I didn't want you to leave.

And I'm so glad that I met you.

I miss you.

Can we go for a drive? We need to talk.

Um, yeah. I'll just get my...

TABLET, MUFFLED:

When every inch on the field matters,

- Don't! - ... you bet I train to win.

Which is why I choose play to win protein...

... for optimal sports nutrition.

I can't do this.

I see him.

Then I think about being with you, and I...

I can't do it.

You asked me to be your boyfriend.

Sorry.

I can't do it.

I can't.
