I mean, we're not all
Earth Mother witchy types.

- Vince is.
- VAN: Oh?

- Aren't you, bro?
- I think birth's a miracle.

I think you're a miracle.

Just look at you and
your big beautiful smile!

VINCE: Don't giggle.

SANTI: That's cute.

Oh, Oly, are you still going
through morning sickness?

OLY: Oh, yeah.

I'm in the second trimester.

I thought it would have
finished by now.

VAN: Yeah, in 20% of women,
it kind of still keeps going.

It's just so annoying,
'cause this is great food.

It's OK.

SANTI: She does it
with my cooking.

Thank you, J. It's beautiful.

- Reema.

OLY: J!

VAN: Well, I think
it's a great drawing.

Thank you.

- OLY: J...
- VINCE: Yeah, it's OK.

- Don't worry about it.

- All good. You good?
- I'm great.

- I'm great.

Hey, we are having
some friends over later

for a couple of drinks.

J could have a lie-down
in our room...

- Oh, no, I...
- Yes, let's do it.

I...I should take
that 'thing' home.

But you can stay if you
wanna stay. Do you wanna stay?

Yeah. You sure?

- Yeah.
- OK.

- I'll stay.
- VAN: Great!

- Cheers.
- That'll be great.

VINCE: Cheers.

Right.

So she wasn't here to see me?

Well, she said she misses you.

Did she?

Well, she said
she loves this place,

and, uh, she wants to hang out
with you as friends.

She was being nice, man.

And did she talk about
friendship a lot?

f*cking friendship.

You know what?
I need to move on.

I need to stop

I need to... grow up.

She can have it.

Can you take it to her tomorrow?

- Me?

I'm not ready to see her yet,

- [SIGHS]

Yeah.

It was OK.

I don't know.

He has all these new friends.

Vince was acting all cool and...

How do you mean?

I don't know, I just feel
like I don't really...

I don't... He's like...
I don't know, just he's not...

Like, I don't know him anymore.

I don't know.
He called another guy 'Uce'.

No, he didn't!

Yeah. He did.

- You're his Uce.
- I know!

And get this, right...

...he was in...

He was with another chick
in front of Van,

and then all three of them
went into a room.

- Like...

Did you have fun?

It was alright.

Wasn't really my scene, eh?

Yeah.

Was it like a...

...swingers party?

[BOTH LAUGH]

No, I, uh...

I saw you with, uh...

...Van and that chick.

What, are you, like, in an
open relationship now? What's...

And you're actually
cool with it?

Why wouldn't I be?

Just doesn't sound
like you, man.

But... what would I know?

Barely seen you
the last couple months, eh?

You ready?

You alright?

Nah, man.

You know, I've been
pretty f*cking nervous

about this new baby.

And you haven't
checked in on me,

you haven't asked
to see how I'm going.

We haven't hung out in a while,
so I haven't had the chance to.

And whose fault is that, bro?

You bailed at boxing last week,

brekkie the week before.

I've tried hanging out with you,

but Reema breaks your heart
and you just shut down.

And now you're seeing this Van
chick, and I'm sure she's great,

but you're pretending you're
cool with open relationships.

And I know you, Vince.

Do you have a problem with Van?

- Huh?
- I don't know, Uce.

Let's see how long she lasts.

[PLAYFUL MUSIC]

[VOICE RESEMBLES ANGIE'S]
Spreadsheets are beautiful.

BOWIE: Yeah.

Ingoings, outgoings,
targeting overages,

pinpointing underutilised
columns of spending.

And when you find that loophole

and exploit it and exploit it
and capitalise,

there is nothing
more pleasurable!

[BOTH LAUGH]

Listen to me! I can't help being
passionate about this stuff.

No, no, it's beautiful.

It's... it's such a passion,
you know?

Like, you have a calling

Oh, well, teaching's noble.

It's noble,
but it's an occupation.

Like, it... it occupies me.

I want passion, you know?

Well, what have you loved most
in your life?

Not a job. What did you love?

I was a drama star
at university.

Yeah?

Yeah, I did a couple of
Molière plays and 'Agamemnon'.

And I played Hamlet.

I wish I could have seen that.

I have never felt nervous

like I did
before I went on stage.

But then once I was out there,
I was just...

It was like total loss of self.

It was... it was transcendent.

And I belonged.

And it was just...

"O,

"that this too too solid flesh

"would melt, thaw

"and resolve itself into a dew!"

ANNIE: There.

That's passion.

You just need to apply that

to a sensible profession
like sales.

You need to be able to act
in sales.

I'd be a good salesman.

ANNIE: You would be
a great salesman.

To buy or not to buy.

[BOTH LAUGH]

I, uh, slept with Tim's ex-wife.

You did what?

Yeah, well, he sent me
around there with vinyls.

So... she made us martinis.

I made her a martini.

We both spoke about
how much we loved Tim.

And then we...

Were you thinking of him
the whole time?

[LAUGHS]

Kind of.

- What about the code?
- What code?

You know, the code.
It's like a male thing.

You don't sleep with
your friend's exes.

- Lesbians do not have that.
- [LAUGHS] No!

What are you gonna do?

Was it good sex, at least?

It was great sex, yeah.

And I don't know
what I'm gonna do.

Hence me asking.

Never tell Tim.

But they're divorced.
It's not like I cheated on him.

It's exactly like
you cheated on him.

Aren't you guys opening
a business together tonight?

Yes, so it's not
the best timing.

I probably should tell him.

Are you sure?

Well, yeah. We're mates, so...

They are divorced.

He wants to grow up
and have her in our lives.

It'll be cool.

It'll be cool.
We'll laugh about it.

For years to come.

I promise. You'll see.

He'll be cool.

[BOTH LAUGH MOCKINGLY]

That's you laughing about it!

- Hey, man.
- Hey-hey!

So In Records, ready to fly?

Yeah.

Did you drop that record off?

Yeah.

Was she grateful?

Yeah. Yeah, she was grateful.

- I gotta...
- I don't wanna see her again.

I don't wanna be friends.

It's just too painful, you know?

She's taken our record
and that's it.

I just wish I could
get over her, you know?

Wait, you're...
you're not over her?

Isn't it obvious?

Well, it is now, but you said

you wanted to hang out
as friends.

As grown-up friends.
'Platonic', you said.

You said, "Let's hang together
as friends." I'm sure you did.

- No, I didn't!
- You did, Timothy.

You did...

No, she said that...

...actually.

Yeah, it was her.

Nothing.

you'd be freaking out.

About what?

Uh...

Nothing. Um...

Is this... Sorry, is this about,
like, my ex or something? Jane?

Uh, no? Jane...

He didn't mention Jane.

sh*t.

Can I talk to him for a sec?

No.

see a lot of memorabilia...

...which is Dom and I sharing
what we love with all of you

and, um, also making
some money out of you.

[GUESTS LAUGH]

But for me, what this place
is really about is friendship.

Yeah?

And what is friendship?

Friendship is loyalty.

It's sticking by your mate.

And I'm sure that
Dom would agree

that anyone who doesn't do that

is no mate at all.

DOM: Well... [LAUGHS]

Oh, they, um, are a mate,
a good mate,

and they thought their mate
would be OK with something,

but that mate wasn't.

So...

Unreasonably too, I might add.

How good is grunge music?

[LAUGHS] Grunge is great!

And we just want to thank
all of you, our friends,

for being here and
celebrating with us today.

And we just hope that
you don't go behind our backs

and break our heart.

No, of course they wouldn't
do that, mate.

Not intentionally, at least.

Why?

What's the statute of
limitations on that, hmm?

I didn't know you
when you were married.

And I only just met her.

You've been divorced,
what, six years?

Or five?

Either way,

I didn't even think about you
the whole time.

wanna talk about it.

OK, well, then let's drink.

Superior to lighter fluid.

it would be OK.
