01x06 - Limerence

[bunniefuu]

I think I need to go.

I love you.

Guys.

Could we go somewhere quiet?

Yeah. Yeah.

I know, Baby J. It's a drag.

I completely agree.

But I just fed you, so...

Did you just baby sign language?

Did you just baby sign language?

I knew you'd be advanced!

Did I do baby sign
language when I was a baby?

What?

Did I do
baby sign language

when I was a baby?

I don't think that
was a thing back then.

Wait. Wait, wait,
wait. Come and dance!

Was I advanced as a...

Sorry?

Don't worry.
Not everything's genetic.

I'm gonna leave my socks on.

You do you.

Sex socks.

Oly.

Hey!

Oh!

Hey.

Hi.

Um... Oh, I think
she might be gifted.

Really?

Can she do my maths homework?

I think she's more into
linguistics. Or semiotics.

Or both.

Well, Vince says that the brains

come from the mum's side, so...

..you're a lucky
one, aren't you?

Well, I'm sure she'll be good
at drawing cartoon dicks.

- Guys!
- Dicks?

New finger buns with coconut.

I just mean that she...
she will be creative.

- Right.
- Like you.

- How are we?
- Hey, wuss.

Ladies. Little lady.

What you got there?

You're not getting
any of my finger bun.

Yeah, yeah, that's cool.

We were going over
there anyways.

- Were we?
- Yes. Yes, we were.

Remember? We're going now.

Did you hear about Esha?

She got banned from ASOS
for making too many returns.

You OK?

Yeah.

How am I gonna
eat hot chips now?

Hey.

You OK?

- Hey.
- Hey.

- You want a lift home?
- Yeah.

Mum said I loved
being in the car.

Yeah. It's like a thing, hey?

- How is your mum?
- You know adults.

They're freaks. Especially her.

She seems kind of nice to me.

Maybe not when she got
me suspended, but...

See?

She seems kind of nice,

but underneath, she can
be such a massive harpy!

Like, that's when she's
not being weird and old.

Sometimes I don't even get why
Dad would want to be with her

this whole time.

- She's like a walking charade.
- Yeah, OK.

I get it.

- sh*t!
- What?

- Don't look back.
- We're just driving.

- I know, but...
- Do you not have your licence?

- Of course I have my licence.
- Then what's the problem?

They're cops.

OK, well, pull into that street.

That's red-hot.

Pull in here. They'll
drive straight past us.

f*ck' hell.

You didn't have to listen to me.

- This your car?
- It's my stepmum's.

- She know you've got it?
- She let me borrow it.

This your baby?

- Who else's baby would it be?
- I don't know. Your stepmum's?

- What?
- Yes. She's ours.

Do you know you're
driving your baby around

with a bald tyre back there?

- Is that why you pulled us over?
- No, you did an erratic turn.

- You freaked us out!
- No, I didn't.

Anyway, I've seen this tyre now.

I can change it as
soon as I get home.

- Are you going straight there?
- Are you allowed to ask us that?

Yes, Officer, we're
going straight home.

We're just trying to get
the baby to go to sleep.

- Trying.
- Oly.

Yeah, Oly, now you've made
me want to look him up

on the system.

Licence.

What was that about?

He can't arrest us
for a tyre, can he?

- Yeah, if you don't shut up.
- Don't tell me to shut up.

Then keep talking,
get us a ticket.

Why don't you tell him how
much you hate your mum?

What?

That other back
tyre's not that much better

and your 'P' plate's flapping
about all over the place.

This might not be your car,

but you need to be responsible
for it when you're driving.

- He is responsible.
- What's that?

He's very responsible.

He's a really good driver.

He drives a food truck
when he's not at school

to support his whole family,

like his brothers, his
grandparents, everything.

- Is that right?
- Yes, sir.

- What kind of food?
- Empanadas.

Don't know 'em.

Now, I can keep it at a warning
as long as you go home now.

Thank you. Thank you so much,
Officer, I really appreciate it.

Just so you know, I decided
about giving him a warning

before you said anything.

Thank you, Constable Cisco.

Good luck with all that.

Thank you again.

Can we sit for a bit longer?

We'll be close to normal
sleep schedule then.

Yeah.

Do you miss her?

Every time I look at her
I wish she was still here.

What was she like?

She was, uh... probably
crazy, I guess.

She was at this protest...

..in Chile, and she met a guy.

My dad,

who was into her straightaway.

And these demonstrations would
go on for a couple of days.

And on the Friday,

they were getting pelted
by these d*uche cops,

and...

..Mum spat on one of them.

And these cops, they start
chasing them down the street,

and apparently,

Mum pulls Dad into
this alleyway and...

..they're hiding from the cops

and Dad asks Mum to marry him.

She said

that if she didn't hate him
by the end of the weekend,

she'd say yes.

They married on the Monday.

- Oh, my God!
- Yeah.

That is so romantic.

And five months after she
died, he married Rosa.

That sucks.

Yeah.

Anyway, what about your parents?

How did they meet?

Let me guess - a
library convention.

No.

- No?
- Mm.

I will have you know that
they met at an airport.

And Mum thought Dad was hot.

Gross.

But she was on her way to
Spain to meet her boyfriend.

And Dad saw that Mum
was reading a book

on world politics,
and he was like,

"Oh, you're reading that

"and all I've got is
the new Harry Potter."

But then Mum was like,
"Oh, no, I have that too."

- It is romantic as well.
- Yeah, totally.

I should probably take her in.

- It is!
- I don't doubt it.

Do you even know what the
odds are of that happening?

She was on her way to
meet her boyfriend.

And?

If she didn't break up with him

as soon as she arrived,
I wouldn't even be here.

I know. It's just...
It's so you.

I could just feed her here.

You don't need to go in?

Could wait another minute.

As long as you
don't perve on me.

Sh-sh-sh.

I know.

- Sex socks.
- Sex socks. Sex socks.

What happened?

- We f*cked.
- No.

After that.

You went back to your boyfriend.

- No, I didn't.
- Yeah, you did.

- Not straightaway.
- Yeah, right in front of me.

Right before the bell went.

You were standing with your
friends and they laughed at me.

You were flirting with Sonia.

Sonia helps Ita
out at the church.

I was gonna talk to you,
but Lachie dragged you away.

Lachie was not even there.

I was about to
break up with him.

You were gonna break
up with Lachie.

But you didn't.

You didn't even want to know me.

- Yes, I did.
- Yeah, right.

Like you were going to walk
over and ask sh*t Girl out

in front of all of your friends.

Well, you weren't
sh*t Girl back then.

Oly! Hey.

Sorry to interrupt your
time, but been thinking

about how people who are
completely different,

you know, totally
different backgrounds,

and how they can be
right for each other.

Like, it doesn't make
sense straight up.

You wouldn't pick it,
but it makes sense.

Mm-hm.

Cos... cosmically.

Like you and Santi.

So if you agree, I thought
you might want to impart that

on those around you.

Like... like
acquaintances or friends.

Or... or even best friends.

If any of your best friends

need advice on
that sort of thing,

I fully endorse that.

And I reckon I can forget about

how you and Santi
did it in my bed.

Not that I'm
judging or anything.

Two different
people and all that.

But maybe think
about how that can...

..relate to people
we might know.

Well, I gotta
go, so think about it.

Mm-hm.

Someone wants to show you

her cute little
filed fingernails

that aren't going to
scratch anyone's eyes out.

You look nice.

Mm.

Where'd that skirt come from?

- It's actually a dress.
- Oh.

I've never seen it
before. You look lovely.

- Hey, Mum...
- Yeah?

You're not in the garage because
of Mr Hernandez, are you?

What?

No! That is...

Why would... No. No, no.

Well, phew.

'Cause... you're not allowed
to be weird at Bernardita's.

- OK?
- OK.

Ja. Ja!

Rosa.

- Hello! Come in, come in.
- Hi, Mr Hernandez.

- Hello!
- Happy birthday.

- Angie.
- Thank you, thank you.

- Hey.
- Hey.

- You look nice.
- So do you.

And I loved her
the moment I saw her.

Her spirit caught my
spirit straightaway.

She is the
scoundrel of my heart,

but I thank God
that I found her.

And I thank God that she
didn't go back to Argentina.

I look at her each day

and I still see the same woman
I met nearly 50 years ago.

But I also thank God

that she's a better cook
now than she was before.

She is the meaning of my life.

And I thank her
because without her...

Whoa!

Cool, hey?

Could I have a joint?

- Really?
- Truly.

OK.

- Imagine if that was New York.
- Huh?

Imagine if you
were standing there

and New York was
right over there.

Get the subway like
it's no big deal.

Go to the UN like,
"It's no big deal,

"it's just 20 minutes
from where I live."

'Cause that's where
I'm gonna work.

For the UN.

New York's only the third-best
city for street art, so...

Controversial.

But if you do want
to save the world,

it's a good place to start,

considering it's the most
f*cked up out of anywhere.

Well, that's where I'm
going. To start with.

I'll save the world.

Maybe you could get New
York back to number one.

What's funny about that?

Oh, it's just...

..you're really pretty, and
it all sounds good to me.

They'd have good
pizza there, huh?

You could get your drawings
on the wall of a pizza shop.

Let's go.

- Hey.
- Hey.

- Do you wanna go for a walk?
- Yeah.

Rosa, hi. Do you mind taking
Sorpresa for us, please?

Thank you. How are you?
Yeah, good to see you.

See ya.

- She does look like your mum.
- Yeah.

You know, I was thinking

maybe we could give
her a second name.

Maria.

- Yeah.
- That's what I was thinking!

- Also, we could get married.
- What?

We could get married.

What?

Or not, I mean, it
was just an idea...

Sorry, I just...

I just thought you
wanted to kiss me.

No, I do. I...

- Is this a Catholic thing?
- No.

Here.

Oh!

It's really pretty.

Yeah, Ita gave it to me.

- To give to you.
- So it was her idea.

No. It was my mum's.

I thought I should...
give it to you.

But aren't you supposed to get
married 'cause you're in love?

Maybe I am.

Uh, no, no, no, no, no. Um...

- I like you.
- Mm-hm.

I think that
you're... Obviously.

Um, it's just the last
time I went with that,

I ended up with a baby,

so I don't really trust
those instincts right now.

- It was a dumb idea.
- No, no, no, no, no.

I just wasn't
expecting it. I just...

I just thought
it would be different.

You thought it would
come from someone else.

- No.
- From some rich f*ck.

Some w*nk*r who's got dreams
of being the prime minister,

is that what you thought?

Forget it.

- Was Oly with you?
- Yeah, she's ready to go.

I hope the baby doesn't wake
up when you put her in the cot.

Yeah. We've well
and truly hit our curfew.

- Ooh, yeah.
- Thank you.

Thanks for a great night.

No worries, it's a pleasure,
and thank you for coming.

- 'Night.
- See you at school on Monday.

Many happy returns
to the birthday girl.

Thank you.

I know that... was
for show back there.

Holding my arm.

Still, it felt good.

How pathetic is that?

Oh. It's not pathetic.
