- Is it, is it go time?

I've got, I've got it, okay, these two.

Alright, so um, you're gonna have to show me what to do.

- Just open that.

- Yep. - Don't take it out though.

- Is that the needle in there?

- Yeah, do you want me to do this?

- No, I mean, I can, your body's copping all the hormones,

so this is the least that I can do, I can do it.

- Thank you. - Mm-hm.

- All right.

- Okay.

- Okay, all right, um.

- Oh.

- It's just a little needle, all right, just in here.

- [Peter] Yep.

- [Clara] Go.

- Mm-hm. - Go, go.

- [Peter] Okay, I'm going in.

- [Clara] Okay and now let, Peter, open your eyes.

- Um, they're open.

- And press. - Push that in.

(syringe clicking)

It's clicked.

- [Clara] Yeah, that's it, it's done.

(gentle piano music)

- Phew. - Honestly.

- [Peter] I'll put this back on, yep.

(Peter sighing heavily)

- (laughing) God.

(birds chirping) (gentle melodic music)

(objects clattering)

(gentle orchestral music)

- [Amy] 20, 30? Okay, I see, all right,

I'll sign off on that one.

(both laughing) Oh!

- Hey, sorry, hi, Tory, hi.

- [Amy] If it isn't Sorrento's finest regurgitator.

(Aaron laughing)

- I just, um, I just wanted to check in and see how you are.

How are you?

- I'm good. - Yeah?

- Yeah, God, I wish I was still there.

- Yeah, me too.

- It was nice to see you relax.

- Yeah, thanks for helping me relax.

(background office workers bustling)

Hey, we're, we're, we're cool, right?

- Hm?

- I mean, I just don't wanna, I don't wanna be, um,

a boundary-crossing guy.

- No, you're not, it was fun.

- [Aaron] Yeah.

- We're okay.

- Great, great, yeah, thank you, thanks.

- And I'm sure Mark will calm down soon.

- Mark?

Your husband, Mark?

- Yeah, don't worry, he only knows your first name, so.

- (laughing) What, you told him?

Why, why, why would you tell him?

- He's very intuitive.

He was really mad when he left for Jiu-jitsu.

(Amy laughing) - Oh, oh, my fucking.

- Oh, your face. - That was cruel.

- No, you're so sweet.

- Fucking hell!

(both laughing)

You're not gonna tell him, are you?

- No, God, not that he'd care anyway.

- [Aaron] Wow.

- You have a lot to sort out, my friend, don't you?

- Mm-hm.

I'm always here for you, by the way, you know,

if you need an ear.

- Thank you.

Thanks, Aaron.

- Thank you.

(Aaron sighing)

- [Michael] Aaron!

- [Aaron] God, fuck!

- [Clara] Technically, yes, we do put you to sleep.

- [Mrs. Ferrera] No, because it's dead?

- Hm? No, no, no, think of it as just resting.

Look, you have absolutely no underlying issues

to cause us any concern, you'll be fine.

Hey! That's your nurse, Sacha.

- Hi, mate, what are you doing here?

- I'm working.

- Oh, okay, on no food or water?

- I'm fine.

- Well, her surgery's been canceled.

- Oh! - Surgeon double booked.

- Again? - Mm-hm.

- Jesus, poor woman.

- Hm.

- Ugh, I feel like a balloon.

- Oh, me too, but you know, from beer and pretzels.

- I'm fine, Sacha, it's just an egg retrieval.

- Sure, but you don't need to be here

loading up with extra stress.

There are plenty of anesthetists,

who aren't trying to have a baby,

who can carry the load for one day.

I say this with love, get out.

- Fine, but they're not as good as me.

- No one's saying they are.

We'll try and survive without you.

- [Clara] Oh!

- Miss you already.

Hey.

Oh, kidding, it's fine.

(gentle piano music) (birds chirping)

- Remy! (laughing)

(thunder rumbling)

(door clicking)

(door thudding)

(rain pattering)

(thunder rumbling)

Oh, I,

I didn't, didn't know you were, you were coming.

- Well, I was hoping to help,

but you seem to have done everything.

- Oh, well no, not, not really.

- Well, is there anything I can do?

(rain pattering) (thunder rumbling)

- Um, well, if you'd like, we can, we can clean out

under the sink together, if...

- [Anita] Yeah, great.

- Okay.

Just need a box.

- Okay, great, do you wanna hand me things?

- Yeah, there's just so much stuff.

You don't realize how much you've got

until you have to move out.

- Well, just imagine if Richard kicks us out and you sell,

we might even be homeless.

- Well, at least we won't be destitute.

- Might even be liberating.

- Yeah, exactly.

Oh jeez, it's all wet in here.

I'll just-

- No, Glen, don't you do it.

- It's all right, it's an old leak, I'll just-

(water gushing) - Oh!

- Ah, ah! - Oh, oh!

(both laughing)

Oh, my God, what was that?

- I'm sorry.

- Oh, oh, here.

(both laughing)

Here, take that.

Oh, well, that was refreshing.

Here, give me your glasses.

(Anita laughing)

(thunder rumbling)

- I'm sorry Clara sent you that text about the specialist.

I was just wanting some information,

I just needed some answers really.

- I appreciate that.

I know that you're worried.

I'm kind of grateful that you are.

But I'm not worried.

I know what I can live with.

Can you live with that?

- Heard you had a weekend jaunt,

Mornington?

- [Aaron] Sorrento.

- Nice.

- Yeah. - Nice.

I just put the formula in, team building, wasn't it?

- Yes, yes. (clears throat)

- Hm, not on the company dollar, I hope?

I don't remember approving anything.

- You'd have to check with Amy on that, I think, yeah.

(background office workers bustling)

Am I, am I getting fired?

- Why would you be getting fired?

- (clears throat) Nothing comes to, comes to mind.

- God, I would hate to live inside your head.

Copy cells, yes, yes, yes, yes.

- Michael.

- Fuck you!

- Sorry?

- Not you. (sighing)

- Um, do you want something of me?

- Oh yeah, the Haywood NDA you drafted last week,

it was good, it was good.

You just need to be a bit more consistent, mate,

you know, you've had your baby now, you need to step up.

- Yeah, yeah, I will.

- Good, okay, you can go now.

Remind me never to swim in hotel pools, will you?

- Yeah.

(door clicking)

(door thudding)

(mouse tapping)

(computer alerting) - What?

(gentle piano music) (birds chirping)

- [Peter] Should we just go in?

- [Clara] No, it's not time yet.

- [Peter] Oh, I got you something.

- Is it intravenous Valium?

(zipper whirring)

Peter, that's torture.

- What, why?

- I can't eat those until after the anesthetic.

- Oh, shit, I forgot.

I'm gonna have one though.

- Well, I got you something as well.

- Hm. - Not that you deserve it.

- Hm.

- Okay, I sent it to your phone.

- Hm, okay.

(zipper whirring)

(gentle piano music)

- Wow! (laughing)

Wow, Clara!

- Yep, that's for when you, you know, have to-

- Hm.

- Do it in the cup thing.

- Sperm collection.

- Yeah, sperm collection. (laughing)

- This will definitely help.

You look incredible.

(Clara laughing)

My God.

Sorry! (laughing)

I can't look at you the same.

(phone alarm chiming)

- Oh, we have to go now, it's time.

- Oh, yep, okay, okay, right.

(gentle piano music)

- [Clara] What?

(both laughing)

- [Peter] Nothing, nothing!

- Are you not gonna say anything?

What do you want me to do?

- Say no.

- Okay, well, it's a residency in one of the best spots,

in the city.

- Ah-huh.

- The money is amazing. - Yeah, yeah.

- And that is, like you know how rare that is.

- I get that, I get that, but Ella,

I work in the city every day, okay?

How am I supposed to get back in time to look after Lola?

- I have already thought about this.

- [Aaron] How?

- I, ah, I booked a nanny.

I don't expect you to miss work,

or just do anything differently, you know,

you can just fit everything to your schedule

and you can see Lola whenever.

- Right, right, so you've just,

you've made all your decisions

and I'm just gonna play catch up?

- No, that's not, (sighing) I'm just,

I'm really trying to make things easier for both of us

and I'm...

I don't wanna be mean,

but I just, I feel like you haven't exactly been

the most reliable person for us recently.

- Okay, who's this, who's this nanny?

I don't want some random looking after Lola, all right?

- She's not gonna be some random,

like I'm just gonna pull some random

to look after our daughter.

She's from one of the most reputable nannying agencies

in Melbourne. - Ah-huh.

- She's had 15 years of experience with newborns.

I've spoken to all of her referees.

It's only gonna be three times a week.

- I wanna meet her.

- [Ella] Yeah, obviously, of course.

- Yeah? (Lola crying)

- Oh, I'll get her.

Are you still taking her to your Dad's?

- Yeah, yeah, I promised I'd help.

- [Ella] Oh, he'll love that.

- [Jackson] Any problems with anesthetic before?

Any medication, recent illnesses?

- No, ASA one, grade one airway, fasted,

nothing since last night.

- Okay, any questions?

- Ah, yeah, what are you using?

- [Jackson] Little bit of propofol.

It's a twilight anesthetic,

so your wife will be breathing on her own

and still semi-aware of her surroundings.

- [Peter] Oh, we're not married.

- [Roland] Oh, I'm afraid that means

we can't do the procedure.

- [Peter] Really?

(Clara and Roland laughing)

Oh, okay.

- [Roland] Would you mind putting your legs

into these stirrups for me please?

Perfect. - Sorry.

- [Roland] Okay.

There we go, just try to relax, Clara,

it'll be over before you know it.

- [Clara] Oh yeah, very relaxing.

- [Jackson] Clara, can you count back from 10 for me?

- 10, nine, eight.

- [Jackson] That's it.

- Seven, six.

Six.

(machines beeping quietly)

Oh, hey.

- [Peter] Hey.

- Let's have nine children.

- [Peter] Maybe we should just start with one.

- Absolutely

and then eight more.

- [Peter] (laughing softly) Whatever you say.

- [Clara] Yeah.

- Yes.

Yes, if it gets passed in, yeah, yeah, nope, I understand.

(door clicking)

Well, hopefully we-we won't have to consider that,

if everything goes well. (laughing)

Yeah.

Okay, thanks, Sonia.

All right, yep, bye-bye.

Oh, just a sec, Anita!

- [Anita] Yeah?

- Aaron's here with Lola!

♪♪ Here's the lady of the house ♪♪

- Hi, Aaron.

Hi. - Hi, Anita, hi.

- Hi.

- Look who's come to say hello.

- Oh, hello!

- Oh, she's beautiful.

- Do you, um, do you want to?

- May I?

- Yeah, yeah, of course.

- Oh my goodness, look at her!

Hello!

Oh, my goodness, she's beautiful.

- It looks so much bigger with everything gone.

- I know, it's just cavernous, isn't it?

But there's a stylist coming around to dress the place,

the agent's expecting quite a lot of interest, so.

- Hm. - Oh, she's beautiful.

- I'm sorry. - No, no, it's-

- It's not easy for you, I'm sorry.

- [Anita] We know how hard this is for you, Aaron.

- Yeah, it has to happen, I get it, you know.

- Hey. - Hm.

- Can I keep her?

(all laughing)

- [Anita] Oh, she's just beautiful.

- [Roland] Here is the right ovary.

(gentle piano music)

And that there, that's the follicle that contains your egg.

- Oh, beautiful.

- [Roland] Aren't they?

- [Embryologist] First egg.

Second egg.

Third egg.

Fourth egg.

Fifth egg.

And sixth egg.

- [Roland] Confirmed?

- [Embryologist] Six eggs confirmed.

- [Roland] Clara, Peter, I'm pleased to tell you,

we have six eggs ready for fertilization, a good result.

- Oh!

- [Embryologist] Peter, you ready to do your part?

- [Peter] Oh, yes, I am so ready.

- Oh, Peter.

Don't forget my nudes on your phone.

- [Peter] Nope.

(gentle piano music)

(birds chirping)

- I think she's really, really tired.

They tilt their heads sideways,

when they're feeling overwhelmed.

Well, I heard it on a podcast, but...

(Glen laughing)

- You lot know so much more than we ever did.

- Yeah, but it's confusing as fuck.

(Glen laughing)

(tape rustling)

- Sorry, Lola.

Oh, bugger it.

Last box, oh well, never mind.

- I love her so much, Dad,

it makes me feel sick.

But sick more like, I don't know,

like something terrible is gonna happen to her

and-and my life is gonna be over.

- Yeah.

Some people, some people find a way to let love

live alongside their fear, don't they?

But I've never been able to do that,

I'm still no good at it, I'm like you, you know,

or you're like me.

And that means we're loving with limits.

- Hm.

- Which just seems

pointless, isn't it?

(gentle piano music)

- I just never want her to suffer, you know.

- No.

No.

But what, what can you do? (laughing softly)

(Lola crying)

(Aaron sighing)

(soft melodic music)

(Lola crying) - Ssh!

Ssh, ssh, ssh, ssh, ssh!

Yes, it's an escape room, fuck, how did you guess that?

Okay, I've got to go, see you tonight.

Bye, love you too. - Hi.

We're gonna take really good care of you, Mrs. Ferrera.

- Thank you for being so kind.

- Oh, that's fine, we'll see you in there.

You're good, this is great.

- How are you feeling? (phone buzzing)

Hello, Clara Mathieson speaking. (clears throat)

Yeah, I'm good, thank you, how are you?

(soft tense music)

Ah, what? Sorry, I'm sorry, did um,

sorry, wait, just wait, did you do one, or all six?

I'm sorry, was this supervised?

Yes, have him call me, please.

- [Ella] Thank you so much for coming by, Doris.

- Pleasure. - We really appreciate it.

- Pleasure, pleasure. - Thank you.

- Lovely to meet you, Doris. - Likewise.

- Yeah. - See you.

- See you, bye! - See you later.

- [Doris] Bye.

(door thudding)

- What?

- Really?

- What?

- You didn't have to interrogate her like that.

- Hey, I asked the questions I had to ask,

thank you very much. - No, you asked her

if she had any criminal convictions, Aaron.

- Look, Ella, if anyone's looking after Lola, okay,

they're getting vetted.

- Okay, well- - It's as simple as that.

- No, you probably don't have to worry,

because she's not gonna come back,

you've scared her off now. - Yeah,

'cause she's probably got something to hide.

- (laughing) No, she doesn't! - Yeah, she does.

- She's perfect and you know it, please stop being annoying.

(soft melodic music) (traffic rumbling quietly)

- [Director] Thanks, Peter.

- [Peter] Hey.

(door thudding)

- [Clara] Hi.

Can we go somewhere to talk.

- [Peter] Yeah.

- Um, so they called me from the hospital and um...

It-it didn't, it didn't work.

Um, they um, apparently the eggs didn't fertilize properly

and we're just very unlucky.

- Hm.

- I mean, he, um, they said this, this,

the first cycle is usually like a, like a learning curve

and I mean, they should've told us that beforehand.

- Yeah. - They're testing my eggs

and well, the-the embryos and they don't know,

I don't know, fuck.

- Okay, so um, where does that leave us, what do we do now?

- Yeah, I mean, I, we just...

Try again and keep trying.

- Yeah, what's the fucking point in trying,

if they can't tell us what's wrong?

- We can go to another doctor. (sobbing)

(gentle piano music)

- [Peter] I'm so sorry you have to go through this.

- I promised Dad that I'd go to the working bee,

do you wanna come?

- Um, no, thanks, I might just walk home.

- Do you want me to come with you instead?

- No, fine, I'll um, I'll meet you at home.

(gentle piano music)

(gentle piano music continues)

(flowers rustling)

- How's that?

- Hm? Oh, very buyable.

Anita.

What's he doing?

- Oh, don't. (laughing)

- Oh, he loves you so much.

He's doing all of this for you.

- Yeah, I know.

- Um, I know that things are complicated.

- It's not complicated.

Please, don't make this complicated.

- No, Anita, you might be able

to put on your magical thinking blinkers

and live in the sunshiny moment

and hope everything's gonna work out,

but sometimes it doesn't, you cannot leave him behind,

he's been through too much.

- Ooh, did I miss something?

- No. - Nothing.

- What's Peter doing out there? He's like a man possessed.

(broom thudding)

- [Clara] He loves sweeping.

- Don't you have life drawing?

- Oh.

I'll, um, I'll see you at home.

- Okay.

- Bye, Peter!

- [Peter] What? Oh yeah, bye!

(door clicking)

(door thudding)

(gentle piano music)

- [Drawing Teacher] We have a new model tonight,

someone who hasn't modeled before,

but I hope you'll make him feel welcome.

We're ready for you.

(Glen breathing deeply)

(gentle piano music)

This is Glen.

- [Glen] Hello, everyone, um, thank you for having me.

- Yep, up there.

- [Glen] Do you, do you want me to?

- [Drawing Teacher] Yeah, I'll take that for you.

Would you like to pick a pose?

- [Glen] Yep.

(gentle piano music)

(gentle piano music continues)

(Anita laughing softly)

(gentle piano music)

(Clara sobbing) (gentle piano music)

- [Artist] Night.

- Goodnight.

- [Drawing Teacher] Thanks for tonight, Glen.

- Thank you, bye-bye.

- You absolute nut bag.

(both laughing)

- I won't do that again.

(both laughing)

But it was, it was exhilarating, it was, ah.

The way people were looking at me

with such, you know, such, such intensity.

I could, I could feel the, the marks,

you know, being made on, on my body. (laughing)

- Oh!

- I'm sorry.

- Oh, you were fucking beautiful.

- No, no, no, no, no, thank you,

no, I don't mean, I don't mean this.

No, I mean, I'm sorry, um,

I'm sorry I've been so fearful, you know,

because you're right, anything can happen,

you know, and-and whatever happens, you know,

however long you and I get to be together,

if it's, um, hey, 20 years or 30 years

or one year or-or-or one day, I'll take it,

I'll take it with you.

(gentle piano music)

- Doris will understand, okay,

it's, it's not like we've confirmed her anyway.

- [Ella] No, it's not Doris, it's just like how do I know

you're not gonna change your mind in a week

and then I'm gonna have to go through

the whole nanny finding thing again?

- My new apartment is two streets away, okay?

- What? - Bond's done.

And work will give me flexible hours, so.

- Wait, flexible how?

- Well, on the days you're working,

I can work seven till four

and then I can come back and take over.

- And, ah, Amy said that was all right, did she?

(Aaron laughing)

Did she?

She said it was all right?

- It took a lot of convincing actually.

- Oh, did it? - Yes, it did!

- A lot of convincing is what it took? Okay.

- Stop.

I'm sorry I haven't, um, been...

I just don't want you to feel unsupported

and I just wanna be

the best Dad to Lola.

- We can do this, right?

Like am I insane for wanting to go back to work,

like when she's that young?

I just, I need to work, I have to go back to work

and I love what I do.

- Um, I'll be here,

I promise.

(gentle piano music)

- If you pull another Sorrento, I swear,

(Aaron laughing) it is not on.

- I won't, I won't.

- [Ella] Okay.

- Done. - Okay.

How did you convince her?

- I'm going. (Ella laughing)

Where's Lola? - This place is cute.

(door clicking)

(door thudding)

- Make yourself at home.

(gentle piano music)

- Okay.

- These are yours, congratulations, enjoy.

- Thank you.

(door clicking)

(door thudding)

(key clattering)

Ah, who's this?

This is Remy, Lola, hey,

now he's yours.

Just don't tell Auntie Clara about him ever.

This is your new home, Lola.

(birds chirping)

Oh, no, no, not them, they're gonna trash the place.

- Now Aaron, you can't judge by appearances.

- No, I'm judging, a lot.

- Oh, they look nice. - Hm.

- Remind me of Christine and I,

when we bought the house 40 years ago.

(car door clicking) - Sorry.

- Hi, darling. - Has it started?

- Hi, Clara. - Hi.

- Ah, just, just about to.

- [Auctioneer] Well, a very good afternoon to you,

ladies and gentlemen. (car door thudding)

- Can you move your head? - What?

- I can't see. - Oh.

- Move your head.

- [Auctioneer] Welcome to this magnificent family home.

- Here we go, here we go. - That we have on offer

for your bidding here today.

- [Clara] Here we go.

- On beautiful and idyllic acreage

and the home that we're selling, superbly designed,

all those lovely, timeless materials.

- [Aaron] Dad, can you? - A fantastic layout.

- Yes. - Sorry, open a window?

- Yeah, sure.

(car ignition clicking) (soft melodic music)

- [Auctioneer] We know there have been a number of you here

over the last few weeks admiring the-

- This is our song. - Yeah, it's lovely, isn't it?

- And that's, that's Lola's heartbeat.

- [Auctioneer] For those of you with intentions to bid

for the property, please be flexible on whatever limit

you might have set and make sure that it's you,

that's taking the keys home at the end of the day.

The home itself-

Smile. (camera clicking)

(buyers laughing) - Thank you, fabulous.

- Um, I hope you'll be really happy here in this house.

- Oh, yeah. - Oh, we just love this area.

There's so much potential.

- [Sonia] With this size block,

I can see 12 really well-sized townhouses.

(soft melodic music)

(soft melodic music continues)

- Oh, thank you for coming.

- Hey, free booze.

- (laughing) Okay.

- You want one?

- Yeah, actually, I do.

- So what are we drinking to?

- Hm, to the upside of a failed cycle, I can drink.

- Cheers to that. (glasses clinking)

- Oh, fill it up.

- [Peter] Do you reckon I could have a hold?

- [Aaron] Yeah, of course.

(background melodic music)

There you go.

- Yep.

(background melodic music)

(soft melodic music)

- Are you ready to say goodbye to this old place?

- Hm.

- Why are we hugging?

- Just because.

(gentle piano music)

- I'm so lucky to have you two.

- Hey, I'm gonna,

I'm gonna keep that rocking chair, by the way.

- Yeah, of course, that's great.

- Hm, hm, I need to go to the bathroom.

- No, no, please, I'm absolutely busting.

- Dad, I've, but I've been waiting 10 minutes.

- Sorry, (laughing), sorry. (door thudding)

- [Aaron] I'm going in the bush, oh!

(door clicking)

(door thudding)

(Clara sighing)

(gentle piano music) (background people chattering)

- Hey, um, just have my back, okay?

- With what?

- I'm just...

Hi, hello, um, just over here, please, sorry, hi.

Everyone, welcome, um, thank you for coming.

- [Sacha] Can't hear!

- Huh? Oh, sorry? (laughing)

Um, welcome everyone and thank you

for joining us in this sale of our family house,

ah, home, home.

And Dad, congratulations to you too,

I know that this is a very big day.

- Thank you, darling.

- Um,

before she died, my, my Mum told me,

that I should stop being so picky

and find a reasonable fellow before it was too late.

I hate it when she's right.

(gentle piano music)

But I'm really glad that I waited, because I met you.

I love you so much, Peter

and I really, really wanna give Max

a little brother or a sister,

but if we can't, that's okay.

(gentle piano music)

Oh fuck, I'm so sorry.

Sorry, everyone, I just, um...

(Clara exhaling heavily)

Um, I guess what I'm trying to say is, oh!

I wanna spend the rest of my life with you

and I'm wondering if you would marry me?

(Clara exhaling heavily)

(gentle piano music)

- Ah, um...

(gentle piano music)

I will.

(guests cheering)

Yes, yes, I will.

(guest applauding and laughing)

- [Sacha] About time!

♪♪ Older brother, restless soul, lie down ♪♪

♪♪ Lie for a while with your ear against the earth ♪♪

♪♪ And you'll hear your sister sleep-talking ♪♪

♪♪ Say your hair is long, but not long enough to reach ♪♪

♪♪ Home to me ♪♪

♪♪ But your beard someday might be ♪♪

♪♪ And she'll wake up in a cold sweat on the floor ♪♪

♪♪ Next to a family portrait drawn when you were four ♪♪

♪♪ And beside a jar of two cent coins ♪♪

♪♪ That are no good no more ♪♪

♪♪ She'll lay it aside ♪♪

♪♪ Older father, weary soul, you'll drive ♪♪

♪♪ Back to the home you made on the mountainside ♪♪

- Hello?

♪♪ With that ugly, terrible thing ♪♪

♪♪ Those papers for divorce and a lonely ring ♪♪

♪♪ A lonely ring ♪♪

♪♪ Sit on your porch ♪♪

♪♪ And pluck your strings ♪♪

♪♪ Oh, and you'll find somebody you can blame ♪♪

♪♪ And you'll follow the creek that runs out into the sea ♪♪

♪♪ And you'll find the peace of the Lord ♪♪

- [Glen] Christine?

♪♪ Grandfather, weary soul, you'll fly ♪♪

♪♪ Over your life once more before you die ♪♪

♪♪ Since our grandma passed away ♪♪

♪♪ You've waited for forever and a day ♪♪

♪♪ Just to die ♪♪

♪♪ Someday soon you will die ♪♪

♪♪ Oh, it was the only woman you ever loved ♪♪

♪♪ That got burnt by the sun too often when she was young ♪♪

♪♪ And the cancer spread ♪♪

♪♪ And it ran into her body and her blood ♪♪

♪♪ And there's nothing you can do about it now ♪♪

(both laughing)

♪♪ Ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ♪♪

♪♪ Ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ♪♪

♪♪ Ooh ooh, ooh ooh, ooh ooh, ooh ooh ♪♪
