01x06 - Christmas Wishes

[bunniefuu]

[fast-paced jazzy music plays]

[phone rings]

- [Thando] Hey, Lungs.

- [woman] Next.

[Lungile] Sis, I need a huge favor.

Not again.

Look here.

This loadshedding is annoying me

[Lungile] Miks is feeling a little down.

I need to do some last-minute shopping

before tonight.

Okay. What time?

We're on stage four now.

- [Lungile] Like an hour or two?

- It's Christmas. Hey!

Okay, love you.

- [cash register rings]

- Love you!

Happy Christmas.

[groovy upbeat music plays]

[Sam] Hi.

Hey, you are a difficult person

to get hold of.

Especially when I'm trying

to avoid you. I've gotta go.

[thunder rumbles]

Dad, you know

I could just go around you, right?

Yes, I know.

You are my father.

And I can't even find any of the respect

that I should have for you.

What?

Look, yeah? [clears throat]

I need to explain to you that what you saw

is not what you think.

I want to explain to you, my child, I do.

But, as parents

Dad, I don't want you

to explain anything to me, okay?

Do you want me to keep your secret

and not tell Mum? [exclaims]

You are going to have to live

with the guilt of knowing

that you've proven to me that love

love is as real as Father Christmas.

I'm actually glad

that I'm not coming to that dinner tonight

because there is no way

that I could sit at a table with you.

["Philakanzima"

by Bongeziwe Mabandla plays]

Can I pass?

[thunder rumbles]

[sighs]

[sobs softly]

[sighs]

- [door closes]

- [Thando sighs]

Something you want to tell me?

Yeah.

- Look, bro, we need to talk about this.

- Bro, look, I don't care.

I don't care. I don't want

to know any of the details, so

- This changes things.

- No, that changes things.

I just think it's time

that I moved on with my life.

Why though?

[tender music plays]

Eh.

Look, man,

I'm trying to be a grown-up, dude.

I mean, you told me to.

But being a grown-up

doesn't mean that you have to leave me.

[laughs] I love how you think

you're all that, you know?

You think everything is about you.

- [laughs]

- No.

It's about us, right?

[Charles sighs]

Listen, baby girl, damn.

I know when to leave early, you know?

The party, the job

The friendship?

No, never. No ways.

- Come on.

- I can't do this without you. Okay?

My dad is cheating.

- [gasps]

- And I got heartbroken by a 19-year-old.

Mom's whole year's gonna be ruined

because I'm not gonna come

to Christmas Eve, and I need you.

- Your dad is cheating?

- Hey! I

- God damn!

- You know what? Please.

Don't add "being ditched by the one person

I love the most" to that list.

Stay, bro.

Come on, please.

Please.

[cell phone rings]

sh*t.

Um

I promised Lungi

that I'd help him with the kids.

[phone continues ringing]

- I'll cancel. We need to talk about this.

- No. No, no, no.

Don't cancel, there's no need to. Listen.

The last 24 days

have been a distraction, okay?

And you're still scared

that you're going to be hurt after Sifiso.

Oh, damn. [laughs]

I didn't remember putting truth-bombs

on my Christmas list.

Hey, I'm just being honest, yeah?

Once I leave here,

you can start to live, bro.

No, I'm living now, though.

[chuckles]

You're the realest thing

in my life, you know?

Let me know when you see it.

You're going to be here

when I come back, right?

Right?

[Charles chuckles softly]

[kitschy Christmas music plays]

[Santa actor] Merry Christmas. h*-h*-h*.

h*-h*-h*.

Merry Christmas, kids.

- [Thando] Hey, hey, hey!

- [twins wailing]

My goodness, Father Christmas! Ah-ah, man!

- Ah-ah! Really?!

- h*-h*-h*, Merry Christmas.

- h*-h*-h*. Merry

- [Thando] Yoh.

- I'm sorry.

- [wailing stops]

[Santa actor] h*-h*-h*, Merry Christmas.

Do you know what's good for you

when you're feeling sad?

[melancholic acoustic guitar music plays]

[chuckles] What a coincidence.

- Not really.

- [exclaims]

- Really?

- You gotta take it easy on the sugar.

- It's making you jumpy.

- Really?

- And negligent.

- That is not yours.

- Well, these are my kids.

- I was right here!

- These are my kids.

- I was right here, okay?

These are my children.

So, Charles is really leaving?

[Thando] Yep.

But you guys were perfect

for each other, dude.

No, we're not.

- There's no such thing, man.

- That's a load of crap.

You've always told me,

"There's someone for everyone."

Yeah, well, um

[inhales sharply]

I was wrong, so

Mm. Don't Don't look now

but I think that guy's checking you out.

- What?

- List Don't!

- Don't do it. Don't do it.

- What?

He's coming here now.

He's coming here. He's coming.

- [Xolani clears throat]

- [Thando] Oh.

- Hi there.

- Hi.

Hey, I swear I'm not stalking you.

I saw you here

but I didn't want to interrupt your date.

Oh, no. No! [laughs] Um

Lungi, Xolani, um

- Hey, what's up?

- Hey, what's up? Xolani.

Xolani and I, uh, went on a few dates.

[chuckles]

And Lungile is my brother.

Oh! [laughs]

I'm just gonna get my foot

out of my mouth.

Yeah, maybe. [laughs]

Compliments of the season, guys.

- Thanks.

- Merry Christmas.

Sure.

[Thando] Oh. N

[inhales sharply]

- Xolani, hey! Hey, buddy.

- What? What are you doing?

- Stop it! Why are you calling him?

- No, no, no. I just I wanna

- Hey.

- Oh, my God.

- Nice to meet you, bro.

- Nice to meet you.

You have a big game this weekend, right?

Yeah, man, I'm taking

a break from playing games

just to focus on myself.

- [Lungile] Hmm.

- Oh, for real?

[gentle music plays]

Yeah.

Uh,

I saw this book

and it reminded me of you.

[chuckles]

Thando, see you soon?

You have my number, so

Not as clearly as you had mine.

Merry Christmas.

[Thando] Merry Christmas.

- Yo, dawg.

- Hey. Xolani.

- Mm-hmm?

- Yeah, twins.

- Congrats.

- For sure.

[Thando sighs]

[Lungile laughs]

- Okay, sis. I see you.

- What? Stop it. Stop it.

- Rugby superstar, huh?

- Stop it! Whatever.

- Get yourself a nice little try.

- Shut up!

- Scrum halving, eh?

- Oh. Oh, my gosh.

Here you go, my babies. There we go now.

Why exactly do you have

all of this food here?

Dude, Mom and Dad are struggling

and they won't admit it, so

I can help and I do.

Well, Dad is getting

all the help he needs, let me tell you.

What's going on? What's happening?

- I caught him.

- Oh?

With some side chick who looks

like she belongs in an old-age home.

[exclaims]

- That's it?

- Mm-hmm.

That's how you react to finding out

that Dad is having an affair?

[scoffs]

I know.

What? You You know?

Easy. The kids.

We have to tell Mum.

Mum knows.

I'm literally gonna throw up.

There's no way.

Mum knows because Dad told her.

They're going through something

right now that [sighs]

we don't understand,

and I don't know if they're gonna make it.

And frankly, neither does Mum.

So then what? Like a

Like a a divorce, or?

You know what? I actually don't

even wanna think about it. Like

No, if you tell me that Mum's found

some Swiss tourist, I sw

A Swiss tourist? Thando, look.

If you come tonight,

we'll be able to sit down,

talk it through,

and work this whole thing out.

I, um [sighs] I don't think

I'll ever be able to come back home.

Like, ever. I

said some really unforgivable things

to our dad this morning.

We all make mistakes.

You gotta come, though.

Mikayla made the potato salad

with the raisins again.

- Not with the raisins.

- [groans] So many raisins!

- [laughs]

- So many.

I'm gonna need you

to help me eat it. [chuckles]

Thanks, bro.

Yeah. Got you.

[groans]

[sighs]

[phone rings]

[Sam] Hey. [sighs]

[Nellie] Uh

Lungile.

[Thando] Please tell him that

we're gonna fix it. Okay?

We're gonna fix everything.

[breathes deeply]

[groans]

[in sing-song] Ay, jingle bells!

Jingle bells

- [Thando sighs]

- Um

Uh, so [sighs] who

who told you about it?

[sighs] My brother.

How did he find out?

Friend, I'm talking about my dad.

What you talking about?

Goodness, Thando. Did your dad pass?

No. What? No, no.

It's just, he's old

and you were crying. So

Mm-hmm.

[light-hearted funky music plays]

[Riri sighs]

What are you talking about?

Mm-mm. Hmm?

Also, where have you been?

I've been looking for you for days.

- Um

- Speak!

[sighs] Okay, friend.

So So, I have to come clean.

Okay.

I I-I-I stole Bheki.

Actually, you know, he stole me

because, like, he's got these mad moves.

- And this thing that he does. Ah!

- What?

But, okay, so anyway,

he he stole my heart.

- And I was

- Okay, okay, okay, okay.

- Friend.

- Hmm?

- Breathe. Okay?

- Okay.

I know. And I've known

since he came

for that little accident thing of his.

So So So this whole time

I've been walking around feeling guilty.

But, "No, let's not say anything to Riri."

I didn't know that you were guilty.

Even so, I mean, I I mean, weird? Yes.

But, he knew I knew,

why didn't he tell you?

Because him and I hardly do any talking.

- We're at it, like, most of the time, um

- Oh. Mm

- Oh, sorry, Um, uh, yeah.

- Mm-mm.

But, you're not angry with me, right?

No.

I'm happy for you, okay?

I mean, I'm not happy

that you ghosted me for about six days.

But

Also, you're glowing,

or whatever. [chuckles]

- For real?

- Yeah.

[laughs]

I [sighs]

I'm in love.

[gasps softly]

[mellow introspective music plays]

This whole time.

This whole time, here I've

I've been looking for it everywhere

and, well, you haven't, but

but it found you.

Maybe Maybe Maybe that's what

this is all about, friend. Maybe

Okay, no, Thando. That's bullshit. Okay?

With everything that's been happening,

it's happening to get you off your a*s

and to do something for you.

Because you also deserve

to be happy, friend.

- I do. I do, I do.

- Yes. Yeah!

- I mean

- I do.

if it were my dad, friend, or family,

I'd be out here telling Melanie,

"You know what?

Take your job and stick it where"

- Right?

- Yeah. Really, I would

- Right? Actually!

- Tha Thando?

- [Riri] Thando!

- Thank you. Sorry.

Okay, girl. Go get your happiness!

[sighs heavily]

[dreamy electronic arrangement

of "Jingle Bells" plays]

- Mel!

- Oh.

Um [clears throat]

I'm sorry in advance, and I know

I'm gonna have to pay for this later,

but I'm leaving.

And And And I know

I'm disappointing you,

but but I really need

to be with my family.

And And I know I'm not married,

I know I don't have kids,

but I actually have a life.

A big, beautiful life. And

Yeah.

Am Am I fired?

For what?

Finally growing a pair of ba*ls?

[chuckles]

At the risk of sounding

like the back of a sugar packet,

I've been watching you

the last couple of weeks.

It's like a light's gone on inside you.

Everywhere you are, people are happy.

It's sickening, really.

[sighs happily]

Go. I'll cover for you.

- Okay. Thanks.

- Mm-hmm.

No, but Mel Mel, I

What about your family?

Uh, I'm always there.

They take me for granted.

Missing me?

Maybe they'll learn

to appreciate me a little bit more.

You don't know what you've got

till it's gone. Oh, God.

I do sound

like the back of a sugar packet.

[chuckles]

Merry Christmas, Mel.

- Merry Christmas, Thando.

- [chuckles softly]

Thank you.

Okay. I'm gonna Oh!

Friend, friend, friend, friend, friend!

- [Riri groans]

- Okay, um, I spoke to Mel.

She said it's fine,

but, um, if I can give you my debit card,

um, can you get something for me?

- Yeah. Yeah, yeah. Sure.

- Okay. All right.

- Okay, cool.

- I'm gonna [stammers]

- I love you, okay? Bye!

Merry Christmas.

Lu

[gasps softly]

- I've been looking for you.

- Is she

- Is she

- Oh, Lulu?

No, she went for another scan.

Oh. Okay. Um

I thought she was, uh

[softly] Okay, um

I'm I'm going home and

I have to tell you something

before you go.

- Yeah, but

- Just sit.

Okay?

What?

[Ben sighs]

[softly] Okay.

I think I'm in love with you.

No, no. I don't think.

I do. I'm in love with you.

At the Christmas party,

when you asked me what was wrong with you,

all I could think was nothing.

[sighs]

Not one thing.

You're perfect in every way.

You're kind,

and fiery,

and breathtakingly beautiful.

[chuckles]

And I don't know how you don't see that.

But I do.

I see you.

I love you.

[chuckles]

- I

[Melanie on speaker] Code blue, Ward Nine.

- Resus team, code blue, Ward Nine.

- [Ben] Yeah.

[anxious piano music plays]

- [Thando] No, no.

- [Melanie] Bay four is open.

No, um, Melanie

Go home, Thando.

No, but I can I can

I can stay and help.

Just go home.

There's nothing you can do here.

[breathes shallowly]

[doors open]

[sobs]

[sobs]

- [door opens]

- [Thando] Charles!

Charles!

I just want to tell you

that you were right about everything.

Charles!

["Emakhaya" by Mlindo The Vocalist plays]

You were right!

Charles!

[Thando reads]

It's all right. Thank you.

- Afternoon, ladies. How are you?

- Hello, sweetie.

[laughs]

[donkey brays]

How are you doing? Hello.

You know, someone told me

that ice cream is good for you

when you're sad.

Hmm.

Ah, Thando.

I thought you were working today.

I'm sorry, Dad.

I'm sorry.

- [Sam] Mm.

- I'm sorry.

Yeah.

[Thando] You know

[tender piano music plays]

You know I may not understand

exactly what's happening right now,

but I know that you and Mum

will tell me what I need to

or what you want me to know.

Things haven't been okay for a long time.

We've tried, you know?

We've tried, Thando.

You even saw me there by the spa.

Ah, Dad, please.

Let's not go there! [scoffs]

I have no excuse.

But the truth is that

I've never been as lonely as I am.

Oh, Dadsie.

I even bought a ice cream truck

to try and fix something.

Even that something is a is a mess.

Is this going to be

our last Christmas as a family?

I hope not, my baby.

I hope not.

My child

what do you have for me in that box?

[both laugh]

You have no patience. Let me show you.

- [laughs]

- Mm.

- [chuckles] Open.

- Mm!

- Ooh.

- [Thando laughs]

- Ooh!

- [Thando laughs]

Amen.

[humming melodically]

- Mom.

- [yelps]

- [laughs] I'm sorry, I'm sorry.

- [sighs]

Thando!

I'm so, so, so, so glad

to see you, my baby.

- I knew you were coming.

- Mm?

Mother's instincts.

I knew you were coming.

I said to myself, "Thando is coming."

Listen, my baby,

here, I left everything like that,

because I didn't know his name.

I just left it.

- I hope everything is okay.

- Okay, Mum. Mum.

- He will sit here, and

- Mum, Mum, I see you.

I want you to know that.

I see everything you do for us

and how hard you work.

Okay.

I see you.

[exhales sharply] Thando.

Have you started drinking already?

- [laughs]

- Hey, hey, hey, hey.

No, wait. Here comes Lungile.

- Okay.

- Okay. Please fix that up, my baby.

[Lungile and Mikayla chatter]

- [Nellie] Let's put it here.

- [Lungile] Hello, everyone.

- [Nellie] Hello.

- [Lungile] How's everyone?

[Lungile grunts]

- [Mikayla] Just watch out for the chair.

- Sure.

- Thando.

- Mum?

[sad, jazzy arrangement

of "We Wish You A Merry Christmas" plays]

I'm happy you're here.

- Thank you.

- [breath trembles]

Thank you.

- Now, go change.

- [exhales]

- [Nellie] Lungile.

- Yes, Mum?

[knocking on door]

[inhales] Yeah.

- We're going to talk about it.

- [sighs]

Minnie, you're grown-ups.

You can do whatever you want. Okay?

Vusi's a cheat.

What?

Yeah. He's long been cheating on me.

His girlfriend is in KZN

and pregnant with his child.

That's why he can't be

at the Christmas party.

He's pretending to be busy with work

when he knows he should be here.

- Minnie, are you all right?

- [scoffs and laughs]

My sister, you know,

I thought I'd be able to stick around,

but nah.

Not my portion.

No, we're not our parents.

Sometimes the greatest love we can give

is to walk away

from something that isn't yours.

Or, in your case, run as fast as you can

towards something

that is clearly meant for you.

- Charles is like

- Ugh, Charles left, okay?

- Charles left.

- You know what?

After the festive season,

we'll deal with all of this.

I don't have time for uncles,

the meetings, and the divorce.

Listen here, sister, we're getting drunk

tomorrow when they arrive.

There's no time to speak

about the divorce.

[emotional r'n'b music plays]

Okay.

And we all know

where Charles's heart belongs.

What's that supposed to mean?

Minnie?

Can I help, Father Christmas?

- Thank you, Minnie.

Thank you, man. [sighs]

I just want to say thank you.

Firstly, I just want to thank my Thando

for the miracle she performed being here

so that we can meet Mr. Right.

- Thank you, Thando. Thank you, my girl.

- [Lungile] Ooh.

Yeah, no, no, no, Lungile, wait.

I said we are waiting for Mr. Right.

[Lungile] Mum!

Thando, please just spill it.

I'm hungry here.

Eh

[song fades]

[baby cries]

Okay, so there actually is someone

that I'm expecting.

And I know that it may come

as a surprise to a lot of you.

- [family members] Mm-hmm.

- I am more than surprised.

And this person has changed

the way I see things.

Wait. Is someone actually coming?

- Stop it, Lungile.

- Ma, I want to know.

This person

has shown me that life is beautiful.

- [Nellie sighs happily]

- Yes, it's hard and it's scary.

And it's crazy.

[hopeful gentle music plays]

But it's full of love.

And full of adventure,

and happiness.

- Mum. Mum.

It's okay, I'll get it.

Okay.

- [Mikayla] My goodness. Hmm!

- [Nellie] It's happening, it's happening.

[Lungile] Unbelievable.

- What's happening?

- Let's hope he's Zulu.

[Thando] Thanks for coming.

[door closes]

[intriguing music plays]

[Lungile] Um

Oh. Hi!

[Thando and Lulu chuckle]

- He's a she.

- That's a plot twist.

How old is she?

This is Lulu. One of my patients.

Well, she started off that way,

but she's a whole lot more than that.

She is my partner in crime,

and my mentor in love and life.

- [Sam] Mm.

- [Lulu chuckles]

Lulu has made me realize

that every second of every day

is just precious

and you need to live every day

of your life like it's your last.

Which it might be

if I don't get a drink.

[Thando and Lulu laugh]

[laughs nervously]

- Lungile, please

- Yeah.

- [Mikayla] Oh, yeah. Let's, uh

- [Nellie] Let's, uh

- There we go. Whee!

- [Mikayla] Lungz, why don't you

[Thando laughs]

- [Mikayla] There we go.

- [Nellie] Sit, Thando.

- [Lungile] Minnie

- [Minnie] Yes? Yes?

[Lungile] I hope

you're not driving today. [laughs]

- [Nellie] For me, too, Minnie.

- [Minnie] Yeah.

- [Mikayla] Okay.

- [Minnie] Oh!

[pleasant vocal jazz music plays]

- [Mikayla] Okay.

- [Lungile] My goodness.

Ah! Mm.

Merry Christmas.

[laughs]

- [Mikayla] Merry Christmas!

- [doorbell rings]

- [Sam] Oh, my goodness.

- Uh I'm not done yet.

[Minnie] Oh.

I'll be back.

[Nellie] This child is going

to give me a heart attack, Lungile.

[Lungile] Yes, Mum.

[Thando] Come in.

[Sam] Hey, you must behave.

Come! [laughs]

This is Bheki.

- [Sam] Hmm.

- Hello. Hello, hello, hello, the Kwenas.

- Hi.

- [Bheki] Hello.

- [Sam] Yes, young man.

- Who is this little man?

I wasn't going to come,

but my girl has power of persuasion.

She was pushing, pushing, pushing.

- [Lungile] Hmm.

- I knew Thando had a boyfriend.

Ma'am?

Oh, I was saying,

I knew Thando had a boyfriend.

- Uh

- [laughs]

- No, Mum.

- Your Thando? No ways!

Ah, no, no, no, no.

She has [laughs]

Uh, it's too many issues. Too many issues!

- She has a lot of

- Uh, okay. Mum.

- A lot of issues.

- This is Riri, Bheki's girlfriend.

- [both laugh]

- Hi, baby.

And out of everyone in the world,

she's my bestie.

[both moan]

[Riri] I'm thinking

we should start selling those tickets.

So, Riri, uh

[clears throat] Uh Oh, yes, hi, everyone.

- Hi there.

- [Sam] Mm.

Hi, ma'am. It's so great to meet you.

I I just feel like I've known you

for so long. [laughs]

But, I'm happy to see all of you.

["Silent Night" plays]

- Thank you.

- [Thando] Mum.

I know that you are very confused

right now.

I think, all of you. But

But the honest truth

is that I I don't have a boyfriend.

- [Minnie clears throat]

- And I've looked.

Trust me.

Uh, yes, it's true.

As her witness, shame, she really tried.

- But, yeah, no.

- [Bheki] Mm. Mm.

Maybe she should stay single.

- [Riri] Mm?

- Single.

You know, I I keep keep thinking

that I need to find someone

to make my life full.

But seeing what I already have in my life,

that's changed.

And all of you, my friends,

my family, my chosen family,

you make me happy.

And maybe one day I will find a man

who comes and fits into all of that.

But for now,

I'm falling in love with who I am.

- That's my girl!

- [laughs]

And I promise

that I will never settle for anyone

that doesn't want anything

but the best for me.

Yep.

[Thando] 'Cause life's too short.

You know, I'm proud of you, yeah?

For coming clean.

- Aww.

- Yeah.

You know,

I'm actually really proud of me, too.

[Lungile] Mm.

You know, Thando? You could've saved

yourself a lot of heartache

if you told us from the start.

Yeah, but I don't think

I would have realized

what it is that I truly want

if I did that.

- [all] Mm.

- You know?

- [doorbell rings]

- Hmm?

That's That's not for me, I I swear.

- But I-I'll go get it. That's fine.

- Yeah, go get it.
