05x05 - Gemini Sun

[bunniefuu]

[Reema] Jijeevisha.

It's an openness
to all of life's possibilities

and a desire to live life fully.

[UPBEAT MUSIC PLAYS SOFTLY]

The will to live.
That's how I feel!

Thanks.

Oh, it's done.

Six years, yeah.

The interview's tomorrow,

so I'm not sure this
feeling will last, but...

It'll be two months,

but it could turn into
something full-time.

And you know,
I could actually see myself

staying here for a while.

I'm starting to really enjoy
my own company.

Although I did
go on two dates last week,

which were quite nice.

[UPBEAT MUSIC CONTINUES SOFTLY]

[UPBEAT MUSIC PLAYS OVER PHONE]

What?

Well, no, no. I'm just...
I'm enjoying listening to you.

Oh, I thought...

OK. Never mind.

- What?
- Nothing.

Did you think I'd be upset
by what you were saying?

No.

Are you?

No.

Do you want me to be?

No.

Yeah, of course,

hearing you talk about
staying in London

and going on dates
is a little rough, but...

...if you want me to be jealous,
I won't be.

If this is what you need,
I'm... I'm happy for you.

OK.

That was the hottest thing
you've ever said.

I'm sure I can think
of something hotter to say.

Like what?

[AUDIO GLITCHES]

Rakim?

[AUDIO GLITCHES]

Rakim?

[QUIRKY MUSIC]

They're so cute.

Yeah, it's so cute
when they clap together.

[FLATLY] Hm. Yeah, they're cute.

You know, you should
have them over sometimes

so you can play with them.

- GABE: Mm.
- [HORN TOOTS]

Oh, that's Dad.

MATIAS: Look at them.

Look at them.

Can you believe it?

Oh! You dress them the same?

Tan bonito.

People love it.

They come up and tell us
all the time,

"They're so cute. They should
have their own show."

Oh. [LAUGHS WEAKLY]

But how did you tell them apart?

[CLICKS TONGUE]

SEBASTIAN: Look at me,
look at me.

- Parents can always tell.
- SEBASTIAN: Peek-a-boo!

- [SPEAKS SPANISH]
- ROSA: Hmm.

MATIAS: They know
they're family.

They can feel it.

[MATIAS SPEAKS SPANISH]

Now I have girls,

I look at things
a bit different, you know?

I want to be the best
that I can be

and support them to grow up
to be strong women

who can do whatever they want.

OK. [SPEAKS SPANISH]

BOTH: 'Bye, Mum!

OK. Have fun, boys!

[QUIRKY MUSIC]

[VINCE SIGHS]

Hey, uh, Vince?

Sorry, you probably
don't remember me.

Mr Monistic.

Yeah, I remember you.

My sister's having a baby.
Uh, Nadia?

I'm just here dropping off the
entire contents of her house.

Pretty sure
there's a lamp in here.

Look, I'm currently
on my break right now.

But I'm sure if you take a seat,

a nurse will be with you
shortly.

OK.

Hey, would you like anything

from the vending machine, sweetheart?

Hm, some salt and vinegar
chippies.

- Thanks, f*ck buddy. [SLAPS]
- Oh, yep. [CLEARS THROAT]

[LAUGHS UNCOMFORTABLY]

- [COINS CLINK]
- [MACHINE BEEPS]

REEMA: He was like...
[MOCK BRITISH ACCENT]

"Why do you want to work in a
corporate legal environment?

"And where do you see yourself
in the next five years?"

And where do you see
yourself in five years?

Well, not in
a pencil skirt, babes.

- [LAUGHS] You do look, um...
- Dull?

Like a penguin.

[REEMA LAUGHS] Thanks, dork.

Better than an elephant seal.

- Check this out.
- Whoa, Mama!

Yep, there ain't
a single cryptic thing

about this pregnancy.

I'm using hair ties
to fasten my work pants

and everyone feels like it's
appropriate to touch me now.

[PHONE CHIMES]

It's like bodily autonomy
doesn't exist

when there's a pregnant belly
involved.

Reema, I'm speaking
very freely to you

about my most private
and deeply felt emotions.

Why is your face doing that?

I'm gonna send you a pair of hot
maternity pants I saw online.

I gotta go. Love you.

Hot maternity pants.

That would be a world first.

[QUIRKY MUSIC]

- [TYPES]
- [VIDEO CALL RINGS]

[LAPTOP CHIMES]

[CHUCKLES] I'm an uncle!

REEMA: Congratulations!

He's so adorable.

Like, he came out
with his little mohawk.

Aw!

How's your sister?

Yeah, she... she's happy.

They're both happy. Um...

I had to whisper into the baby's
ear 'cause my brother-in-law...

Sorry.

My brother-in-law
couldn't get the words out.

Um, but... Oh, sorry.

How was it?

- How do you feel?
- [PHONE CHIMES]

Oh, sorry.

That's my prayer alarm.

Oh, yeah.

I should probably do that
at some point too.

Do you want to do that together?

- Now?
- Yeah.

They have a prayer room here, actually.

Hold on.

OK.

[HORN HONKS IN DISTANCE]

[MUFFLED VOICES]

[RECITES PRAYER IN ARABIC]

[SINGS IN ARABIC]

[RAKIM CONTINUES SINGING]

[GENTLE AMBIENT MUSIC]

ROSA: Then the two of them,
they were showing me videos

and saying, like,
"Ai, Ma, Mum, look.

"It's so funny when they crawl.

"Oh, they're so cute when
they clap their hands together."

Two babies that look the same.

[SPEAKS SPANISH]

I think it's nice
they like their sisters.

ROSA: Hm.

Y Matias...

[SPEAKS SPANISH]

[IMITATES HONKING HORN]

"People say that we should
have our own TV show."

Our own TV show.

And they look like
a happy little family.

It's disgusting.

I think someone is jealous.

- Jealous?
- Mm-hm.

- Jealous?!
- Yes.

- Jealous, no!
- Yeah.

It's just that I miss
my little babies

because they used to need me
for everything.

Baby, they still need you
for everything.

They can barely make a sandwich.

Mm.

I want a little baby.

Oh! [LAUGHS]

And who is gonna be the daddy?

Who's gonna be the daddy?

I had a vasectomy.

A vasectomy.

That, you can reverse it.

It's like bing-bing,
and then just... Easy.

I'm not having a surgery

because you're jealous
of Matias, amor.

But we...
We will have such a cute baby.

That's true.

So much better
than those ugly twins.

That's true.

But you know what I'm having?

A smoothie.

- Bueno, pero...
- [BLENDER WHIRRS]

- [WHIRRING STOPS]
- I was gonna say...

- [BLENDER WHIRRS]
- Ah!

[REEMA LAUGHS] No.

No!

Like that.

[REEMA LAUGHS]

What is that?!

[CHUCKLES]

You look peaceful.

I just woke up.

From a dream with you in it.

Oh, no. What was I doing?

You weren't doing anything.

It was just your face.

But your face was the sun.

And there was all this light
coming off it.

And I was just,
like, soaking in it.

So strange.

Wait, when was this?

Like, 10 minutes ago.

You know, 10 minutes ago

I was just, like,
stood facing the sun.

I had my eyes closed like this.

That's crazy.

Literally. For ages. Yeah.

- So we're, like, telepathic?
- Yeah.

- [PHONE CHIMES]
- Oh, sorry, I just...

I got a text
from my brother-in-law.

I have to go back to the
hospital. I'll call you later.

Oh, OK.

Sure.

Alright. 'Bye.

[SIRENS WAIL IN DISTANCE]

[CHUCKLES]

[LOW-LEVEL CHATTER]

[NOTIFICATIONS WHOOSH AND CHIME]

Excuse me, is there any way

I could be in the room
with my sister?

[RAKIM AND NURSE
SPEAK INDISTINCTLY]

- VAN: Vince.
- Yeah. [CLEARS THROAT]

Look at this guy.

- Chill the f*ck out, bro.
- VAN: Hmm.

Well, it's actually
pretty serious.

His sister's got PPH.

Code blue team are in there.

Oh, sh*t.

VAN: Mm.

They, uh, still together?

She's still in London.

And?

What are you trying to say?

Forget it.

- REEMA: Oly, I have a question.
- [HORNS HONK]

What time were you born?

I can't do this right now,
Reema.

Oly, please!



- On the dot?
- Mm-hm.

Classic.

So why the sudden interest
in astrology?

Not all of us had our lives
mapped out by high school.

Some of us need help
making decisions.

I change my mind frequently

and I find it hard to stick
to one thing for very long.

So what did the app tell you?

That's what it said.

That doesn't seem very helpful.

It also talks about
romantic compatibility.

Oh, my God!

- [PHONE CHIMES]
- Check out what I just sent you.

It calculated our compatibility,
you and me.

Wait, what?
We have 100% compatibility?

"Exactly opposite from
each other in the zodiac,

"you two are a perfect match."

- That's pretty clear.
- Maybe we should date.

[REEMA LAUGHS] Maybe we should.

Wait so what's
the name of the app?

Oh, finally!

ROSA: Imagine this.

Balloons. Balloons.
Balloons. Balloons. Pop.

Decorations everywhere
so it will be festive,

and we can have the barbecue
over there.

We can have c*ck of course.

- It's a party.
- Yeah.

And raw bar here. Raw bar.

Face-painting station
and baby games.

We need baby games.

ANGIE: Mmm.

You can help if you want,
but, you know,

now like you helped
at the wedding,

because relax, no stress.

I'm not sure the foetus
needs water views.

Look...

Oly won't be into
a big baby shower.

It's too... consumerist.

Yeah, but, you know,
you can talk her into it.

But why?

Because it's a nice thing
to do for Oly and Santi.

A nice thing to do

would be to give money to babies
that don't have any food.

OK, so, Matias,

he gave them, like, a bunch of
old baby stuff from the twins

and I want to give them
better stuff,

like, you know, new stuff.

So you're competing with Matias?

And what's wrong with that?

No, I get it.

Yeah, he can be smug.

Ah! Right?

They don't need new stuff.

Oly won't be into it.

She won't be into it.

Fine.

I don't care.

Oh. You look like you care.

I don't.

Huh. Good.

[QUIRKY MUSIC]

[LOW-LEVEL CHATTER]

[NOTIFICATION WHOOSHES]

- [VINCE SIGHS]
- [PHONE RINGS]

Ooh.

Hey!

Hey!

What the f*ck? It's you.

Yeah, I just thought...
Oh, wait, you're at work.

Oh, it's fine, it's fine.
It's really good to see you.

You look so well.

I've been up for the last


- Yeah.
- That makes me happy.

Does it?

- How's London?
- How's Van?

- She's good. She's good.
- It's good.

[BOTH LAUGH]

So does that mean you're gonna
be staying there a while, or...

Uh, it depends.

On... on what?

Well, this clerkship for one,
it's...

It's good, it could lead to

some really
amazing opportunities,

but my soul might leave my body
in the process.

Yeah, fair enough.

Fair enough.

Do you want to know
what I think?

Please!

OK. I think you already
know what you're gonna do.

Yeah, you always do.

And even if it feels disruptive,
you just gotta trust yourself.

Um, excuse me,
who the hell am I speaking to?

What?

- You've changed.
- What do you mean?

I've always been mature and
present in this relationship.

Sorry, my mistake.

Apology accepted.

[SPEAKS SPANISH]

The babies have got this little
made-up baby language they do.

- It's so cute.
- Yeah, like...

...even though
they can't say words,

they're, like, totally
communicating.

They're, like, really smart.

Mm. Mm. [LAUGHS WEAKLY]

Wow.

Hey, Rosa, cómo estás?

These boys are so good
with their sisters.

How did I get
so many beautiful kids?

You had three wives.

Victor, cómo está?

Hector.

Yeah.

Hey, boys, it's almost time.

Yeah, Mum, we gotta
put the twins to bed.

SEBASTIAN: We all sing a little
song before they go to sleep.

They love it.

Ah. You all sing a song?

- [FLATLY] How cute.
- GABE: OK, 'bye, Mum.

SEBASTIAN: 'Bye, Mum, see you.

- [SPEAKS SPANISH]
- [LINE BEEPS]

[READS] "Santi might shut down,
denying his feelings

"and harbouring resentment

"in order to avoid conflict
and sustain the relationship."

You could say
that about anybody.

"If Santi can let you in
to how he's feeling

"and you can let go
of your need to control

"and let Santi take the lead
sometimes, this could be..."

- Wait. Ow. Ow!
- I want to look at that.

- That looks pretty...
- [PHONE CHIMES]

- Wait...
- What is that?

What is this?

[ROSA SINGS IN SPANISH]

[LAUGHS]

[SANTI LAUGHS]

That's great!

- Oly and Santi's baby shower!
- Right?

We're not going to this.

Why not?

We could use the gifts.

Well, you go then.

Oly, I'm not gonna
go to our baby shower alone.

OLY: I have work.

On Saturday?

I'm helping Shauna
train her parrots.

See, this is exactly what
the astrology app was saying.

Hm?

You need to let go of control

and let Santi take the lead.

Not everything is up to you,
Oly.

Santi, there is no factual
evidence to support the idea

that the position of the sun
and the stars and the planets

determine human behaviour.

- [LOW-LEVEL CHATTER]
- [INFANT CRIES NEARBY]

Hey, bro.

Hey, I, uh,
spoke to a mate in ICU

and they'll wait till she wakes
up to tell you officially,

but they said that
your sister's gonna be good.

They stopped the bleeding.

She's in PSU.

[RAKIM WEEPS]

RAKIM: Oh, sorry. [SNIFFLES]

Um...

[EXHALES]

I'm just not used to
feeling so much

in such a short space of time.

VINCE: Yeah.

[CHUCKLES WITH RELIEF]

- I mean, you must all the time.
- Yeah.

That's amazing.

You, you are amazing.

Thanks, bro.

Hey, can I...give you a hug?

Yeah.

[GENTLE MUSIC]

- I'll, uh... I'll catch ya.
- Yeah.

[GENTLE MUSIC CONTINUES]

Hey, Reema, so, uh, she's awake.

The hospital said they're gonna
keep her for a couple of days,

but, um, they...
they said she's alright.

Uh, yeah. I-I miss you. I...

I-I wish you were here

'cause then you could meet them
and they would love you.

I-I love you.

I shouldn't have
said that on voicemail.

Um, what is happening?

OK, uh, call me back,
uh, when you can.

Uh, 'bye.

[UPBEAT MUSIC PLAYS FAINTLY]

ROSA: Was this a bad idea?

No! This looks great.

It's gonna be awesome.

Did Oly think that having
the baby shower was a bad idea?

No. No, no, no, no, no.

We spoke about it
the other night.

She's really excited.

- Really?
- Yeah.

OK.

SANTI: Another drink?

[QUIRKY MUSIC]

[UPBEAT LATIN MUSIC PLAYS]

[INDISTINCT CHATTER]

- [SANTI WHISPERS INDISTINCTLY]
- DOM: I promise.

BOWIE: I would love it.

ANGIE: I'm gonna try,
definitely, 'cause it's...

Hey, believe it or not,

this is my first-ever
baby shower.

[SANTI LAUGHS EXAGGERATEDLY]

I'm trying to do happy party
vibes so Rosa doesn't cry.

ANGIE: OK, yep.

What's wrong? Is she OK?

She just wants it
to be a good party,

so pretend like we're having
a good time and enjoying it.

- Mm-hm.
- Oh, yeah. I am loving it!

[ALL LAUGH EXAGGERATEDLY]

Of all the parties, an unborn
baby party is the best party.

- DOM: Yeah, it is.
- Mum, that's...

- You're making a scene now.
- No, I'm not.

Oh, sorry, sorry, Hector.

No, please, Santi's 100% right.

Fake having fun or we
are all in trouble. [LAUGHS]

[ALL LAUGH]

Where is Oly?

She's coming. Any minute now.

OK, so to see if the baby
is a boy or a girl,

we put the spoon and the fork
on the chairs under our cushion.

If the mother sits on
the fork, boy, a spoon, girl.

Or you could do the modern thing

and wait for the child
to tell you.

A spork?

There is another way.

The mother eats salty food, boy,

cake, it is a girl.

I'll get it ready!

- BERNARDITA: h*, h*, h*!
- [SANTI LAUGHS EXAGGERATEDLY]

- That's so good.
- [BOWIE LAUGHS LOUDLY]

Hey, it's Oly! Hello!

- [ROSA SHRIEKS]
- ANGIE: Welcome.

Hi!

- Wow.
- ROSA: Happy baby shower.

- Oh, thank you.
- What happened to you?

Bird training.

I'll get you a drink, OK?

No alcohol.

[CHUCKLES]

- Hi!
- Hi.

Can you pretend
that you love everything

and don't talk
about consumerism?

That's what I'm doing.

Yeah, as long as
no-one touches me.

- ANGIE: Mm.
- BERNARDITA: Excuse me.

Excuse me.

Look at you.

So big!

Salty chips?

Cake?

Which one?

Um...

DOM: Which one?

I'm actually fine.
I already ate.

- DOM: You love chips
- JJ: I'll take them.

I already ate.

Why wouldn't you
choose one, though?

Who wants to play a game?

Me. That's fun.

Games. Yay!

Three, two, one!

- [UPBEAT LATIN MUSIC]
- Arggh!

[ALL YELL PLAYFULLY]

So this one is for running

and this one is for you to,
you know,

buy all the stuff and put it
here and then just grab it.

Look at that!

[GUESTS CHEER]

I know.

- Oh!
- Aw!

- OLY: From you?
- Oh, thank you, Ita.

Thank you, Ita.

I made a donation to
the food bank in your name.

- Oh.
- Oh.

Thanks, Mum.

And I, Bowie,

am going to give the baby
a Shakespeare monologue.

When it's born.

Uh, oh, I mean, I could...

I could do now
if you prefer in utero.

Let's wait.

And even you make
all these efforts,

and it doesn't matter

because your beautiful little
baby is going to leave you.

It will.

So, Oly and Santi, hold onto
your baby as long as you can.

OK?

I have a present for everyone.

Oh.

When the baby's coming,
we light the candle.

And we send our thoughts
to Oly and the baby.

- Oh!
- That's nice.

Very sweet.

Thank you. Thank you.

Well, I just want to say
thank you so much to Rosa

for having us.

Thank you so much for the gifts.

This has been
the most wonderful party.

We love you so much.

- To Rosa.
- GUESTS: To Rosa.

I didn't even want
a baby shower,

but this has been so lovely.

You didn't want the baby shower?

Well, they normalise a
commodified vision of motherhood

where good mothers are those

that can afford non-essential
baby paraphernalia.

What?

SANTI: I just didn't want
to make you feel bad.

Rosa, I told you
Oly would never really want

a big baby shower.

Nah, nah, nah!
This is not a big baby shower!

This is a mini cheeky
tickle little baby shower!

- I... It was really fun.
- We've had the best time.

I've... I've loved it.

Everyone has had
an amazing time.

You're all pretending.

Oh, you're all pretending!

No, this is going off.

I was pretending. I nailed it.

Out!

Out! [YELLS IN SPANISH]

- [ROSA CONTINUES YELLING]
- Mum, that wasn't helpful.

- ROSA: Take your party gifts...
- SANTI: See what you've done?

- What I've done?
- Out. Out!

Agh! I haven't done anything!

[ALL YELL AT ONCE]

- I don't know what's happening!
- DOM: Stop yelling!

- f*ck!
- Don't swear.

Well, it'd be a shame
to waste these.

I can distribute these amongst
the Chalmers-Davis household.

[BALLOONS POP]

HECTOR: Rosa amor,
someone is here to see you.

- [POP!]
- Baby shower is cancelled.

[POP!]

- Hi, Mum.
- Hey, Mum.

[SKEWER CLATTERS]

What happened?

- Why are you here?
- sh*t happened.

Like, literally.
The twins got diarrhoea.

It sucked.

SEBASTIAN: Yeah,
and Marisela and Dad got sick

so we had to change
the babies' nappies.

It was so gross.

- They all got diarrhoea?
- Yeah, it was disgusting.

- I'm never having kids.
- [SEBASTIAN SCOFFS] Yeah.

And your dad is sick?

SEBASTIAN: It's the worst he's
ever felt in his entire life.

He had to sleep on the floor
next to the toilet.

Poor Matias,
he had to sleep in the floor.

[CHUCKLES]

- I need a shower.
- SEBASTIAN: I need a sh*t.

Mm.

Just take everything off.

Put it in the washing machine
and... and don't touch anything.

Hear that?

Matias got diarrhoea, ha-ha!

[BALLOON POPS]

[PHONE CHIMES]

Hey, stranger.

REEMA: Hey!

I thought you were
ghosting me again.

I know, I'm sorry.

Is everything OK?

Um, I've been thinking
about what I want.

I have a habit of getting into
relationships really quickly

and I've felt just confused
a lot of the time,

but I've spent some time alone
these last few months

and I...I feel like I know
what I want now, and...

RAKIM: Reema, it's OK, you...
you don't have to explain.

Look up.
