03x08 - Love in the Time of Chaos

[bunniefuu]

SANTI: I thought it

was good. I enjoyed it.

- Have you seen it?

- (SPEAKS SPANISH)

- Hope you guys are hungry.

- (ROSA SPEAKS SPANISH)

- (SANTI SPEAKS SPANISH)

- (ROSA LAUGHS)

- Smells good, man.

- (ROSA SPEAKS SPANISH)

Come and sit down.

(SEBASTIAN LAUGHS)

- What's so funny?

- SEB: Nothing. Nothing.

OK, here we go.

- (AIR HORN BLARES)

- (ROSA SCREAMS)

- (GABE LAUGHS)

- Gabe, what the f*ck?!

- ROSA: Gabriel!

- It was just a joke.

- (HECTOR CHUCKLES)

- Ah, mi amor, I'm sorry.

It's a It's a joke.

I can handle it.

I met this girl hiking Yucatán

and we kind of fell in

It wasn't love, but

our souls were tethered.

And the last night we just lay

down and just held each other.

It was the most intense

exchange of energy.

The next morning, she says goodbye

and goes to meet her fiancé.

Wait, she was engaged?

That's really not the

point of the story, Dad.

Oh, she was your Rosebud?

Yeah No. No.

Sorry, what's the point then?

I could spend the rest

of my life agonising

over what I know I lost that day

or I could carry the best of it with me.

Well, I've lost everything.

Maybe I should go on a hike.

Yeah. You could find your new Rosebud.

Or find myself.

The Great North Walk, you heard of it?

Sydney Opera House to Newcastle.

Two weeks, bush, wilderness.

We could do it together.

Yeah, I'd love to do that with you, Dad.

Oh, thanks, JJ.

Is something wrong with Grangie?

Um no.

There's nothing wrong with her.

But she really likes

pretending to be asleep

at the moment, doesn't she?

Yeah.

She must be playing

the hibernation game.

Hibernating is what

bears and other animals

do in the winter when it's really cold.

They gather all of their

food and their supplies

and they hunker down

until the spring comes

and then they can go

outside and play again.

Her other games are better.

EDITH: Hello?

Hey. Thanks for coming.

Well, thanks for calling.

- Um

- (GASPS) Aunty Edie!

- Hi, cool girl.

- Hey, J?

Do you want to go pack

your bag for me, please?

- Why?

- Uh

Because we're gonna let Aunty Edie

play the hibernation game with Grangie.

OK.

(WHISPERS) It's really boring.

(KNOCK AT DOOR)

No.

Thank you.

EDITH: Um it's me.

- Hmm.

- (DOOR OPENS)

Angie?

You OK in there?

Can I

I'm sorry it took so long

to talk to you again.

(CLEARS THROAT)

I know it was a shock for everyone,

but, you know, it

happened so fast for me too

and, you know, I needed

some time to process it.

And you already know I'm kind

of avoidant when it comes to

You know (CLEARS THROAT)

When we were

I was starting to think

that

I really felt like I

so wanted to be with you.

But then that whole thing happened

and I-I just freaked out.

And

I figured you'd tell me

it was a mistake and that

you couldn't see me anymore.

And then Oly told me

that you haven't been up,

so, um, I thought I'd see if

What, you only came

because Oly asked you to?

No, that's not what I meant.

(STAMMERS) I did want

to come and see you.

I

I just thought you'd tell me to go away.

God, you mustn't think that much of me.

Oh, Ange. No, that's not it.

(ANGIE GROANS AND SNIFFS)

Ange.

OK.

I'm sorry.

(ROSA BLOWS AIR KISSES)

(SIGHS)

Hey, Gabe.

How's it going?

Hey, have you heard of Chocolate Remix?

What?

It's a music group.

Better lyrics. Less sexist.

It's just music.

(TURNS UP VOLUME)

Ah! I love this song.

I was just telling him that

the lyrics are a little extreme.

Yes, yes, Gabe, turn it down.

You just said you liked it.

Gabriel.

You said you'd drive me to Dad's.

- We can still drive you.

- What do you mean 'we'?

You're gonna turn up

with him in the car?

And what, you like being

driven around by a girl, do you?

Yeah. Same as you.

Well, you get your licence

and I won't have to.

(TURNS UP VOLUME)

You know what? I really

like this now. Whoo!

(ROSA CHUCKLES)

- GABE: You look like idiots!

(ROSA SPEAKS SPANISH)

GABE: Why don't you both f*ck off?

I don't want to be anywhere

near you two b*tches anymore.

- Gabriel!

- Gabe, let's walk it off, yeah?

Get off me! This has

nothing to do with you!

You only live here because

nobody f*cking wants you.

- No, Gabriel, don't say that.

- This is my house.

None of you should f*cking be here.

No, this is MY house

and I decide who is here!

- Fine then. I'm going to Dad's.

- Not in my shirt, you're not.

- f*ck off! You gave it to me.

- No, I didn't.

Hey!

Why are you being such

a d*ck to your mum?

Why keep telling people what

to do when your life sucks?

Go and apologise.

- Why should I? It is my house.

- OK, well, you know what?

This is mine and you're

not going if you're a d*ck.

- What are you doing?

- Take it off.

- This you being a dad?

- Yeah, maybe.

- Well, you suck at it.

- Well, you suck at being a son.

- Stop it, you freak!

- You want a go, do you?

- Yes!

- What, are you gonna hit me?

Maybe I will 'cause

you're a f*cking b*tch too.

How did you know I'd get up?

I didn't.

I don't know if I can endure

you breaking up with me again.

I'm sorry.

It just seemed like

the right thing to do.

Mm, I didn't realise losing you

would hit that hard until it happened.

I wasn't dead.

But I was.

There's a version of me with you

that isn't the same as Mum Angie

and Cancer Angie.

Whatever Angie.

Crying Sloth Angie?

Mm. Too soon.

I really want to be with you.

What have you been doing all this time?

Just hoping you'd come and get me.

But we have to keep it PG

when the kids are around.

But they're not here, so

JACINDA: Was it cold in your winter?

Um

A little bit. And boring.

EDITH: Hello.

- Hey.

- Shh.

Um, why don't you come

to a party with me?

- A party?

- Yeah.

(UPBEAT HIP-HOP MUSIC PLAYS)

(EXCITED CHATTER)

Maybe you could pivot

into forensic nursing

and be my assistant as I solve

crimes and prosecute criminals.

Hmm, so you're gonna be

a fictional character in a TV show.

- Nice.

- (SCOFFS) A podcast, please.

Oh, yeah, makes way more sense.

(REEMA CHUCKLES)

That guy is like a vortex of awkward.

VINCE: Terrible.

Obviously he knows we're too cool, so

- Hey.

- Yeah.

I would absolutely experience

a vaginal birth if I could.

But don't you hear

that from loads of guys?

(LAUGHS) I have literally

never heard that.

- Never?

- No.

- Really? For real?

- (LAUGHS) Ooh.

- What?

- Oh, here. Here, here.

- That's electric.

- It is wild, huh?

I've always loved pregnant people.

- Mm.

- And older women.

OK, Handsy, step away

from the sentient being.

- We were having a moment.

- A l*sbian moment?

Oh, OK. Yeah, right.

But you do have really nice hands.

We're going, we're leaving. OK. Goodbye.

- Goodbye.

- Oh, well, peace be upon you.

Hi there.

No.

(CHUCKLES) Could you be more desperate?

I'm just reshuffling my energy,

so it's possible

I'm not connecting with

the right people yet.

Oh, connect with your shoes.

You've got two vaginas right there.

Mm.

Aloha, everyone. Thanks for coming.

Um, I meditated on

what Talia means to me

and I could feel our baby

communicating with me,

moving, dancing,

interpreting our shared truth.

And now I would like to share

that truth with all of you.

The moves I make now are

the moves made by our baby.

So, how's your mum and everyone?

Uh, they are

who they are.

Mm. (LAUGHS) Yeah.

So I wanted to talk to you about J.

- Mm.

- Just about our days.

Oh, yeah.

I got into this animation academy thing.

- Really?

- Yeah.

I mean, I'm not

surprised that you got in.

- I just, I didn't know that

- I just didn't wanna jinx it.

But, yeah, I got in

and I'm pretty stoked.

Yeah!

I've already met this other guy

who wants to make the same type games.

That is so exciting.

I'm sorry, I should have told you.

- Or at least asked you before.

- No, that

I'll still work at Picá del

Sabor a few nights a week,

helping out Rosa, maybe weekends.

I'm not entirely sure yet but

It's totally fine, I get it.

Thanks, Ol.

- Is everything OK?

- Yeah, I-I

I also applied for this thing.

A scholarship.

For an exchange in New York.

Oh.

Yeah. Sorry, I should have warned you.

No, no, no, it's fine. It's just

I didn't realise you still

wanted to go to New York.

Yeah. Yeah.

I mean, it's kind of impossible.

It would be this huge deal

for you and for J obviously.

- Four months, it's

- No, no, no.

I don't want you to worry about that.

If it happens, we can

find a way to make it work.

- It sounds pretty cool, though.

- Yeah.

Yeah, I don't even know if

I'll get to the interview stage.

It's pretty competitive.

I once met someone who said it's

only competitive if you don't get in.

(LAUGHS)

She sounds young.

Yeah, she was.

No, no, I reckon go for it.

Go the full full Oly.

(BOTH LAUGH)

I'm proud of you.

Uh, is it like a uni course or

Uh, sort of. Animation.

Oh!

Yeah, no, I've, um, actually heard

some of those vocational

colleges are pretty good.

Isn't international law vocational?

Well, I'm not sure my PhD

supervisor would agree with that.

Uh, OK, I might go back.

OK.

I really wanted to talk

You know the Great North Walk? Yeah.

Well, I'm doing it. (CHUCKLES)

With my son, because we are very close.

You, uh, close with any of these boots?

Well, these ones are light

but I'm worried that

the sole's too thin,

and these ones are

screaming, "Toenail trouble!"

But these ones, these

ones feel too heavy.

Maybe they're not heavy.

Are there any of these I

can put back, do you think?

No, no, no. Uh, I'm going

to try them all again.

Thank you.

Hmmm.

Excuse me? Are you gonna pay for those?

- They're gonna be too heavy.

- That was my exact concern.

Oh! I've missed you

and your shoe opinions.

- I tried to internet-sleuth you.

- Really?

Yes, man, I wanted to

catch up but no luck!

And then my dad got sick

and I moved down to look

after him and then

He died coming up to a year

in, um a year in a few weeks.

- Sorry, man.

- Yeah, yeah, it's

Just weird, you know.

Where where whereabouts was he?

- Mornington Peninsula.

- Oh, yeah.

- Which, uh, town?

- Rosebud.

Have you been there?

Nah, nah, but I know it.

So good to see you,

bro. So good to see ya.

OK.

One of the things that I admire

about you is how you adapt.

I know what it's like for you

to have built a life over here.

(CONTINUES IN SPANISH)

True.

No.

But I don't blame you for walking away.

I didn't walk away. I

went for a walk. To think.

I know Gabe. I was Gabe.

I was also in the way

of my mum's happiness.

- How are you so reasonable?

- Ah!

(LAUGHS)

No, but you're like from another planet.

Is that so bad?
