01x02 - Episode 2

[bunniefuu]

Nice speech.

I think it might be your wife's
delivery that's really selling it.

Grace...

Good luck at your next job.

Welcome to the Thunderdome.

The new girl?

I would get a move
on if I were you.

Jenny doesn't really
like late people.

Don't wait for anyone
to help you around here.

Everyone, Phoebe is here

to try and stop the federal
funding cuts from going through.

She let him into
the secure room.

She didn't know.
She's not a lawyer.

You're too old to be working
in the pharmacy, darling.

Well, he suggested that
yesterday's shift be your last.

What? We've got the rest
of our lives together.

If you really do care about
the women in this workplace,

as you say you do,

don't f*ck their husbands.

You got kicked out of the forum
because you were upsetting

the elderly residents.

Oh, yeah, OK.

So it wasn't
residents, it was one.

One singular resident
I got kicked out for.

He's a passionate candidate.

Yeah, that's one
word for it, yeah.

And speaking of passion,

are you seeing
anyone at the moment?

Nah.

Well, you gotta get
yourself out there more.

Especially now
with your new job.

What's that mean?

Well, if you're seeing this
abuse stuff every stuff,

it's got to affect the way you
see men at least a little bit.

Mm.

Oh. So you're co-signing
this, are you?

I didn't say it.

I didn't say anything.

I mean, the way you're
looking at me right now

does kinda make me think, but...

The way I see men...

Mm?

..is just fine?

I knew it!

Hm?

I knew you were f*cking someone.

I am not f*cking someone.

Phoebe Marigold Rook... Yes?

Do not lie.

I'm... I'm not lying.

I had a small thing...

..with someone.

I knew it.

Ian.

You told Max and not me?

I... It doesn't matter, OK?

It's, it's...

It was over before
it even began.

It was just really
complicated and now it's done,

and I actually feel fine.

I'm good.

Mm-hm.

Can we go back to
Max's campaign?

Thank you.

So, 3% of ratepayers
own reptiles.

That's like a whole
untapped voter group.

Like people with, like, snakes.

And, like, small lizards.

Like, bigger lizards.

And...

What are you hiding?

Are turtles... are
turtles reptiles, Phoebe?

You couldn't get them to use
one where I don't look terrible?

Oh, yeah. No, sorry, that was
actually a direct request from them.

They said, "We need to make this Jenny
person look as bad as possible," so...

You don't understand.

I'm never seeing the
end of this photo.

My mum bought out the
entire supermarket.

She did?

That's cute.

Ding.

So you think this is gonna work?

Well, embarrassing governments

is generally the only way to
make them do anything, so...

Shame as a tactic.

You learn that at McKinley?

Ah, yeah.

They know a thing
or two about it.

If the cut goes through,
that's a fifth of our budget.

Four lawyers,
legal clinic, gone.

I know, I prepped the
numbers. No more walk-ins.

We'll only see clients
referred directly by a service.

And even then, barely.

Who's leaving? Uh...

Sam?

Oh. Samara. Samara.

Who?

I think she sits next to me.

Wow, you're a real people
person, aren't you?

I don't get emotionally invested

until they've worked here
for at least six months.

Who put the empty
coffee tin back?

I think that was Samara.

How's that coffee,
Jenny? Is it good?

She always forgets
to do that, so...

Uh, what's with the
phones this morning?

Our number was at the
bottom of that article.

So I'm going to need
everyone to pitch in today.

It's going to get busy.

Thank you.

Hang on, is she here
right... Oh, crap.

Jenny. Jenny.

Why does she make more people
calling for help sound bad?

I guess you gotta think about

what happens when someone
reaches out, only to be told,

"We don't have capacity."

Ry, what are you doing here?

Oh, I have Luke's keys cos
he got me to close yesterday.

But your shift doesn't
start for half an hour.

I know, I just can either
be early or 10 late,

so I thought I'd
just chill here.

OK.

OK.

Family Violence Legal
Service. Phoebe speaking.

You'll have to go
through intake.

I'm not a lawyer, so I can't
give you any legal advice,

but if you give me
your name and number...

Hi, yeah, sorry about the wait.

Family Violence Legal
Service. Phoebe speaking.

I'm not a lawyer, so I can't
give you any legal advice,

but if you give me
your name and number...

..our intake team
will get back to you.

..our intake team
will...

Um, excuse me? Mm?

Guess whose article
has 50 shares?

Yeah. Yeah. Whoo-hoo!

Ah!

Fancy. Mm.

What was it like working here?

It was good. Mm?

I went to uni with
someone who works there

and she says they've got, like,
five photocopiers on every level.

They do.

That's crazy. That's the dream.

Mmm, is it? Yes!

Alright, good job.

Thanks.

Nice work on those submissions.

Oh, look at this one.

She's got Uncle Leon's nose.

Oh. God, she does
too. Poor girl.

Hey.

I mean, good for her.

Oh, it's lovely having you here.

Oh, thanks.

Last time was...

..Mum's funeral?

Yeah.

Jon doesn't like coming
to the city, you know.

Oh, it is so good of you, Lot, to
have me here at such short notice.

Oh, don't be silly.

You're welcome anytime.

I was... I was wondering...

Would I be able to, uh,
have a bath at some stage?

What?

You know, like I wouldn't hold
up the bathroom for too long.

Like, I'd be... Oh, what
are you talking about?

Have an hour-long bath.

Yeah, I mean, it's early.

I can wait.

I mean, it's stupid to have a
bath in the daytime, isn't it?

Who bloody cares?

Right. I'm having a bath.

Go on. Yeah, yeah.

I'm having a bath.

The Audio Experts, Ry speaking.

Finally.

I was gonna file a
missing persons report.

Mum, you can't call here.

I wouldn't have to if
you answered your phone.

Where've you been? I'm
staying with a friend.

Is it that girl
with the pink hair?

No.

Oh, love, did you two break up?

I need to go.

You're not still
mad at me, are ya?

Ry?

I don't wanna talk about it.

I'm sorry, baby.

Please come home.

OK. Bye.

Who was that?

Oh, it was just
the wrong number.

Yeah, sorry about the wait.

Um, you'll need to go
through our intake...

Family Violence Legal
Service, Phoebe speaking.

If you give me your name and number,
our intake team will get back to you.

I'm not a lawyer, so I can't
give you any legal advice,

but if you give me
your name and number...

Hello. FVLS.

Hi, hello. Look,
I need a lawyer.

Can you help me?

OK, if you leave your name and
number, our intake team will...

No, no, look, I'm outside the
school right now and he's here.

He's in his car.

You don't understand. He's
not supposed to be here.

Where are you? Do you need help?

I'm at my kid's school, OK? Hey?

I don't know how he
found us again. f*ck.

You need to go to a police
station right now. OK?

No. I can't go to the police.

They're gonna just think I'm an
idiot. They'll never believe me.

I get it, I get it, but I need
you to go straight there, OK...

No, no, he's coming...
and then call us.

He's coming
over. He's coming over.

Oh, my God...

Hello?

Hello, are you there?

Are you OK? Um...

Hello, sorry. Look,
I'm in my car.

I'm going to drive
to the station, OK?

We'll be there in
five. OK. Um...

Don't worry. I've got it.

FVLS. Jenny speaking.

Yes, Samara.

I would love to do a conflict
check for you. Hold on.

I've got to watch 12 hours of
security tapes just to prove

to these dickheads that the
projectors are tripping the wire

and turning the alarms off.

That's why they pay you
the big bucks, buddy.

Oh, hilarious.

An incident report to the
insurance company on my day off.

I can do it.

What?

Watch the tapes.

If you want.

Wait, are you talking
about last night?

Yeah.

sh*t, that's my bad.

I forgot my charger and came by.

I mustn't have put
the alarm back on.

Oh, come on, Xander.
What are you doing?

Sorry, man. It was a mistake.

A mistake?

Why don't you just...

Well, hey, at least you saved me
watching 15 hours of footage, right?

But, Ry, from now on, we're
disconnecting the projectors

when we leave now, OK?

Cos if the alarms go off, even
just randomly again, that's it.

It's an automatic
security callout, right?

Copy that. Done. Right.

Yep. Alright, I'm off.

Thanks, Luke. I'm sorry.

Yep. Again.

Bye. See ya.

You got any...
any plans tonight?

No, I don't.

I'm having a little
party, if you wanna come.

I just really think
they could have used one

where I don't look constipated.

Don't do it.

You wanna go for a drink?

A drink?

Yeah, I mean if you want to.

Are you doing anything
tonight, or...?

Won't that be breaking your
six-month new employee rule?

There's no danger of
me getting invested.

You're not even a lawyer.

Mm, sorry to inform you,

but I believe I have breached
your avoidant attachment wall.

I don't even like you.

Oh, that's awkward.

What am I going to do
about my new tattoo?

With our names, entwined.

Disgusting.

Uh, do you want to go somewhere
else? We could... Um...

I actually just remembered.

There's a really good
happy hour at The Bench.

Are they from your old work?

Uh, it's just on the
corner, so we could...

Who's the avoidant one now?

One drink.

Please?

Hey, Phoebs.

Hey.

Um, your journalist friend has...
has been asking around about me.

You know, I don't know if
she's into you like that.

So how's it going
at the legal centre?

I hear you got funding trouble.

It's great, actually.
We're... We're doing great.

Are you? Mm.

You do know I went to
college with the Minister?

The Minister is a very...
loyal friend of mine.

You need to learn to
keep your mouth shut.

People were bored...

Can we go, please?

Look who it is.

Hi, Grace. Hey.

I was just telling Jenny
how great her presentation

about economic abuse was
at the AGM last year.

Thanks, Grace.

It really was.

White?

Actually, I think we're
going to head out.

Oh, come on.

Hi. Three Pinot Gris, thanks.

Is Pinot Gris OK?

Perfect. Yeah.

Thank God someone still drinks.

My husband has gone wild
for non-alcoholic beer.

Impressive article today.

Thank you.

You know, she's actually pretty
good even though she did betray me.

Oh?

One day I'll forgive Evie
for stealing her from me.

Great seeing you both.

You too.

Evie?

How'd she convince Grace
McDonald to be on our board?

Maybe I should work at McKinley.

I'd look so good
in natural fibres.

Phoebe?

Yeah.

Phoebe?

Oh! Oh!

Oh, my God, are you OK?

Ah, wait, just put
that down there.

Could I get a tea towel, please?

Oh, sh*t.

Um... Sorry.

Phoebe?

Phoebe.

Phoebe?

Yes?

Sorry.

Can you repeat the
question, please?

I was asking what exactly your
relationship was with the deceased.

What's going to
happen to the service?

Your office is a
crime scene now.

Are you sure you don't need me?

Yeah, no, I'm fine.

It's just a paper cut.

Text me when you get home, OK?

Wow.

Look who's getting attached.

Shut up.

Eugh!

Thank you.

Text me.

I will.

So, Ry, how long have you
worked at Audio Experts?

Just over a month.

I hear the supervisor's
like really, really sh*t.

Really? Yeah, don't hold back.

Don't hold back.

Oh, I like it.

It's cool, and it
pays, so that's good.

Well, thanks for coming
around, by the way.

It's just nice to have
people over before I go.

Aww. Sweetie.

Do you have my lighter, though?

Yes, I do.

OK.

Uh, I thought you
were having a party.

Yeah, we are the party.

I mean, Adam's moving
to Canberra tomorrow.

I don't... I need to go.

I don't... I don't know Adam.

Hey. It's cool.

It's all good.

Zoe's Adam's best friend and
you're my new best friend.

It's all good.

Do you not want to
be my best friend?

You're so weird.

Uh...

Yeah.

It's the hair, right?

You hate the hair?

You hate the hair.

No.

Ry...

..it seems like you maybe
needed somewhere to go?

No. You...

I don't... I'm fine.

Wine?

You sure? Yeah.

Oh...

Ry is having second thoughts
about the pleasure of our company.

No, I'm... I'm...

It's the hair, isn't it?

I knew it. I knew it. I knew it.

Let's go change the music

because I f*cking hate
everything these guys listen to.

Really? Like,
there's nothing good.

Really? I don't think...

Every time I come over here, the
playlist is just like the same.

Be careful, because
she loves country.

Julie Pang.

Hey.

Hi.

What are you doing here?

Just figured you might
be in for a long wait.

Thought you might
want some company.

I, uh...

I couldn't really get much
from the vending machines

but I got you a sugar
juice and some sugar sugar.

Whatever that is.

Thanks.

You're welcome.

Help you?

No. OK.

I got it.

Should you really be here?

Yeah, I'm just here
as a friend, right?

Mmm. We're friends.

Yeah.

Good mates.

So?

Yes?

Wanna talk about it?

Talk about what?

How you smashed a wine glass with
your bare hands, you monster.

I didn't smash it.

It just... it broke.

I don't know what
happened. It just...

OK. Iron Grip McGee.

The waitress said it
had happened before.

I'm sure she did.

People say anything
when they're scared.

Ah, boo! Agh!

Anne Modra.

I didn't know you were
going to be there tonight.

Why, would you
prefer if I wasn't?

Yes.

Oh. No, I...

I don't know.

Yeah.

Wait, how... how did you
know I was going to be here?

I... didn't.

I was actually at St Vinnie's
for a good half hour before.

Oh. Way better vibe.

St Vinnie's? Yeah, way better.

Yeah.

sh*t!

Should we go there? No.

Can I... Here, let me see.

It's fine. Let me see.

Careful.

Ooh. Yeah.

Oh, sh*t, that's deep.

Aww.

Far out, brussels sprout.

Yeah, OK.

Julian, I feel like we should...

Not... Just not...

Right?

Just not now.

OK.

Mark Wilkins.

Um, nope.

This is a mistake. This is...

Is it? Hey, just...

Yes.

Yes, it's been three weeks
since we've seen each other

and you seemed
really happy tonight.

With your wife.

24.

What?

24 days since I last saw you.

Phoebe Rook.

Is he always like this?

Um...

Uh, well, um...

I think, you know, he's probably
just worked out I'm here.

Di, what the f*ck is going on?

Night-night, everyone.

No! Don't.

No, no, no, early flight.

Don't you dare go to sleep?

Love you, though.

Love you, buddy. Love you.

Sleep well.

Mm-hm.

You smell nice.

Ry, I think your mum's calling.

Is everything OK?

Yeah. Yeah.

You two get along?

Um, not exactly.

Join the club.

I hate my mum.

Better than my dad.

Coach Durnham
reporting for duty.

He'll never forgive
me for not doing law.

Aww.

Poor baby.

What about you, Ry?

How did your mum f*ck you up?

Oh, like, the same.

You know, just always on
your back about something.

You're really smart
for someone your age.

Yeah, and you're
just an old boomer.

Me?

You didn't actually
just say that, did you?

Yeah, I did. You
didn't actually.

Yeah, you're such a boomer.

You think I'm a f*cking boomer?

Yeah. You're a
f*cking boomer. Me?

Do you want a wine?

No, I think I'm gonna
head off as well.

I'm pretty tired and I've got to
drop Adam to the airport tomorrow,

so... No.

I know, I know, but I
gotta go. Just stay.

No, I gotta go.

Stay. We need you.

I want you to stay. Stay.

Xander, I think your friend Ry
might have a little crush on me.

Mate?

Can I kiss you?

Yeah.

So what's FVLS like?

Uh...

I mean, it's pretty stressful.

I could probably use maybe one more
person in my department, but...

I don't know, I kind of love it.

Well, I'm really glad.

It's nice to see
you happy, Phoebs.

Mm.

Thanks for staying.

Yeah, I couldn't leave you,
especially when you started crying.

Oh, come on. As if you wouldn't
cry if you had to get stitches.

I don't.

I didn't. Oh.

High school hockey.

Try bawling your eyes out
in an all-boys' school

when you get hit in the eye.

How are you feeling
about McKinley?

Oh, that good?

Kingsley's leaving.

So... they're looking at
finding a replacement.

Wait, they're going to
make you senior partner?

Maybe.

Holy sh*t.

Yep.

Wait, why aren't you happy?

It's massive.

I don't know, I mean, I
might not even get it.

We had dinner with
Harry the other night.

Well, uh, congrats in advance.

That's awesome.

The thing is, I don't
know if I want it.

I don't know if I even
know what I want anymore.

It all just feels so
planned out, you know?

What if there's
something else I want?

You know?

What if there's something more?

Mm.

No... What's wrong?

Just...

OK.

Your perfect job.

Perfect life.

No, I... No.

You're gonna get promoted
to senior partner,

and then, in a few years,

so will your brilliant wife.

It's OK.

I'm just a mistake
you're gonna regret.

Phoebe...

Shh. It's fine.

We're just a mistake.

Oh, wealth redistribution?

Mate, we're talking about the lights
in the Buckley Square carpark.

Point of order.

Daryl, if you can't handle
the rhetorical heat,

then I suggest you step out
of the electoral kitchen, bro.

Damn it.

They just kicked me out, again.

Can I ask what's with the pizza?

Do you want some? Mm...

Debate tactic.

So I put them off
by eating food.

Right.

I'm not sure if your alpha debate
tactics are actually working.

Oh. Really?

Because firstly,

Doris said my eating made
her "sick to the stomach."

Well, and secondly, I'm
not an alpha, Phoebe.

Sigma.

Oh.

Cool.

What happened?

Oh, uh, just a work thing.

What?

I don't want to talk
about it, Max.

Oh, I'm back in!

Quick, can you pass me that?

Yes. Thank you.

Oh. Christ.

Hey.

Hold up.

Turn around.

I want you to go
down to Magi's now.

What's happening?

The Minister's Office wants to do a walk-through
of the intervention order duty list.

The Minister? Yeah.

Apparently they were
unhappy with the article,

so her aide's on his way now.

Uh, is this normal?

No, Phoebe, it's not normal.

OK, so, uh...

Yep. I got it.

You know how much
we need this, right?

I'm gonna handle it.

OK. OK.

You got this. OK.

We are so excited for you to
come and see the work we do.

Of course.

The article made it
sound very... urgent.

Mm.

All parties in the
matter of Wynn to Court 4.

Do you want a
cuppa, Marge? No, no.

So, the majority of the IVOs
are applied for by the police

on behalf of the
affected family member.

Right. What about AVOs?

Uh, that's just what they
call them in New South Wales.

Right.

See, most states actually
have different language,

but, you know, of course,
Sydney becomes the default.

I'm from Sydney.

I love Sydney.

Do you?

Yep.

Uh, so victim survivors are
actually 10 times more likely

than the general population
to face legal problems.

There's a lot of people here.

Yeah.

Well, the police attend a family
violence incident every six minutes.

Do you always talk
in statistics,

or are you just nervous because
my boss wants to cut your funding?

So, Diana, you're the
person that applied

for the Family Violence
Intervention Order?

Uh, yes, yes.

My... my sister helped me.

Great.

Well, my name's Logan and we'll just
be reading through this together.

And then at the end, I just need
you to sign a declaration of truth.

It just confirms everything
you say here is true.

Sure. OK.

What's your relationship
with the respondent?

I'm sorry?

The person who is committing
the violence against you.

The person who you're
seeking protection from.

My... my husband.

And what is the length
of that relationship?

Uh...

36 years.

And has the respondent been

physically or sexually
a*usive towards you?

Emotionally,
psychologically a*usive

such as repeated name
calling or putdowns?

Threating to disclose
your sexual orientation,

threatening to withhold
medication, even.

Oh, look, really, this
has been a mistake.

I am so sorry to
waste your time.

No, Diana, you're not
wasting my time...

No. I'm sorry.

I'm not really...

Diana, honestly...

One sec. Sure.

Hi.

Gotta get a fan in there.

We have a problem.

Just one? Fun.

Mm-hm. Who's that?

The Minister sent an aide
to observe us, so be nice.

Remember? Funding.

I don't have time for this. You
don't really have an option.

Jenny?

David, uh, this is Jenny.

Hi. Hi.

Nice to meet you.

You're a law student?

Uh, Jenny is one of
our senior lawyers.

Senior?

Mm-hmm.

Uh, we are going to sit in on some
cases, so we'll see you in there.

Oh.

Mm-hmm.

Great.

So I'm just going
to grab my bag.

Mm-hmm.

Can I go this way? OK?

Nice to meet you, Penny.

A full order is in range.

So are there a lot
of male victims?

Some. It's mostly
female victim survivors.

I think it's one in...

Maybe that's because services like
yours are catered towards women,

and men don't feel
comfortable coming forward.

I think having a female ab*ser,
regardless of your own gender,

can be very isolating.

There's a lot of shame. Often
people don't know how to react.

So you do think services like
yours aren't helping men?

No. I mean...

Because that's what it
sounds like. Look...

I definitely think that the
sector as a whole, you know,

needs to get better at responding
to male survivors, but, uh...

I mean, we have to
acknowledge the fact

that they are a lot less likely to
be m*rder*d by their female ab*ser.

Obviously, m*rder should not be
the benchmark for what's important.

With services being stretched
and funding being cut,

I mean, unfortunately, that's
where the focus has to lie,

because we are up to
our necks in water

and you are poking
holes in the life raft.

Sorry. Um...

Obviously, what I mean when I
say 'you', I mean generally.

That is an honestly
refreshing answer, Phoebe.

Thank you. Ah.

You're welcome. Ha-ha.

Oh, I remember, it's one in...

Don't ruin it.

Alright.

The delivery's coming on Friday.

Great. Yeah.

Yeah.

Steady on, Ry.

So, listen, I need you
to sign for it, OK?

Mm-hmm. Done.

Ry, you know where
the other bags are?

Yeah. Cool.

She definitely knows what
she's doing down there.

What the f*ck?

Both of you, just cut
it out, alright? Jesus.

Listen, I don't want
to know about it.

But just please, not
in the workplace, yeah?

What the f*ck is wrong with you?

Hey, calm down.

Sex is natural.

Don't let Luke make
you feel ashamed.

No, I'm not ashamed,
it's just that I...

Ry, what are you doing?

I didn't think you'd have
these kind of hang-ups.

It's... It's... it's not...

That's not the point.

Ry.

Even if you run into her
by accident, Mr Merchant,

you cannot speak or
approach each other.

What if her tap breaks,

or she needs me to come around

and help her with
something in the house?

Even if her bathroom
floods, her roof falls in,

even if she asks
you to help her,

you must abide by the order.

Do you understand?

Yes.

Very good, Mr Merchant.

My clerk will finalise
the order shortly.

What happened to your hand?

Hmm?

Ah.

Nothing. It's...

You know that one in three
people who work in communications

have a hand injury at
some point in their life?

Mmm. Too much typing.

It's all the...

Sorry.

All parties in the
matter of Patel.

That's Jenny.

She's our best.

Your Honour, we
request an amendment...

Pardon me?

Is someone speaking?

Your Honour, that would be me.

I can't see any proper
person speaking.

On behalf of the
applicant, Your Honour...

Ms Long,

I'm very glad that some of us
chose to be properly attired today.

Oh, she's
not wearing a jacket.

Interesting court procedure
for a senior lawyer.

This... this...
This isn't usual.

OK, look, I know
this isn't great...

..but our service
does a lot of good.

And politics aside, there's so
many people that need our help.

And that's all we're trying
to do, just... just help.

So, you know, whatever might
have been said to your boss it...

Wait, what?

What are you talking about?

Why did the Minister really
want you to come down here?

Was it actually
because of the article?

Nice of you to join us, Ms Lee.

Your Honour,

Mr Patel has repeatedly
breached the existing order.

We wish to amend the condition to
prohibit all phone communication...

I'm lookin' for my
daughter, Riley.

Uh, maybe I can help you out.

There she is.

Riley?

You know her? I called
you, and I called you.

Why didn't you come home?

Uh, I... I don't know her.

You stuck-up little b*tch.

Don't come home again.

Hey, hey, hey, hey!

Hey, are you alright? Yep.

Not once.

Not once have I forgotten
my f*cking jacket.

f*ck!

Are they pulling the funding? I
don't know. I couldn't read him.

I should just resign

and save Eve the trouble of
figuring out who to let go of.

No, it's not your fault. They're not
going to cut funding because of that.

Why would they cut funding?

Why were they even there?

Um...

You're bleeding.

Huh?

You're bleeding.

Oh.

Can you keep still? Yes, sorry.

What's going on with you?

Well, I'm bleeding to death.

Isn't it obvious?

It's the thing.

Something's up.

I just need to learn to keep
my mouth shut, that's all.

No, you were right.

Sometimes speaking up is
the right thing to do.

Even if it means
you're gonna lose.

OK, all done.

Thank you.

Thanks.

But, um, can I ask
you a question?

Is it true they have a breakfast
bar at McKinley & Harris?

Yeah.

Well...

It's overrated, but, yeah.

Free Danishes? No way.

Why would you leave
somewhere with free Danishes?

I mean, the hours
were pretty awful.

Oh, like it's better with us?

And for half the pay.

Honestly, I didn't have
a great time there.

Mm. So when Eve
offered me the job...

Wait. Eve headhunted you?

Oh, it's that shocking,
is it?

So you're actually
good at your job?

Is that what you're
saying?

You don't have to
act so surprised.

Mm-hm.

So who was that guy you were in a
staring contest with last night?

Oh, just a friend.

I'm sorry.

About before.

Hey, Ry.

Look at me.

Please.

Adam's room is empty.

You can stay with me
until you find something.

If you want.

Ry.

I can see that things are
hard for you right now.

And I was a d*ck.

Please just let me
make it up to you.

Please?

Yeah?

Yeah.

Hey. Whoa!

Hey, sorry. Sorry.

Oh, for f*ck's sake!

I'm sorry, I didn't
mean to scare you.

I was meant to
text you. I just...

What are you doing here?

I just...

Julian!

You're not a mistake.

OK? Stop.

No, I...

I can't stop thinking about you.

When I'm at the
photocopier at work,

I think about that time

that you accidentally sent
your draft media release

to every single person
in the Melbourne office.

Do you remember
that? Mmm.

And then you followed up
with a 'lol who dis?'...

..which, which really kind of
confused the elderly partners,

but you don't care.

Cos that's who you
are. You don't care.

No, I...

Listen.

If you're a mistake,
I want to make you.

I... "Make you..." Uh...

You wanna make me?

What I'm trying to
say is that I...

Mmm.
