[floor creaking]

- Do you mind?

[quirky piano music]

- Hey, hey, hey, friends.

How's your morning been?

- We just picked up a dead body.

- Cool, cool, cool. Can I get

you started with any drinks?

- Yep. I'll get your

largest coffee, please.

- I need a lime

milkshake, please.

- And do your legends

want any food?

- Yeah, I'm gonna

get the pancakes.

- Rock on.

- I'm trying to decide

between the apricot chicken

and the prawn c*ck.

- Oh, tough one.

- Really? They

sound equally bad.

[waiter laughing]

- Okay. I'll get the lamb

rogan josh, then, thanks.

- [Waiter] Sweet,

thanks. Coming right up.

[phone beeping]

- There's gotta be

a way to make money

without f*cking

with your health.

Why are Ellie and Dean

not giving you more work?

- They are, you know,

they're giving me more hours

and I'm doing all the

pickups and, you know,

they pay me to clear

out the gutters

and they actually make,

like, a really good team.

- Yeah, when Ellie's

not having a meltdown.

How much longer are you

gonna have to keep doing

all this extra mahi?

- Not forever.

Just until Huia finds a job.

She's hunting, but she's

also looking after Frankie

at the same time, so.

- [clearing throat] Just

to clarify, you guys,

you and Huia aren't, like, um.

That you're not.

- No. No, no.

Otherwise I wouldn't have.

- Yeah.

- Sweet. That's good.

- All right all right all right.

Got your jumbo coffee.

Lamb rogan josh, lime

milkshake, and pancakes.

- Thank you.

- Enjoy.

- I will.

Are you not really concerned

with how quick that food came?

Like I'm not a chef, but I

feel like it should take longer

to make a lamb rogan josh.

- See, that's why it's good.

- Your sizzling surf

and turf, ma'am.

- So what, you have

any gigs coming up?

- No, I don't do

that. [coughing]

- So what, you quit DJing?

- Well, you can't quit a

job that you never got.

I quit trying to be a DJ.

It's really embarrassing.

♪ Happy birthday to you ♪

- No, you tried.

You know, that's pretty cool.

Most people wouldn't have

the p*ssy to do what you did.

- The what? Sorry?

- Well, I was gonna

say ba*ls, but,

then I realized that like,

the vag*na's just

like, way stronger.

- Yeah.

- Hip hip hooray.

Enjoy.

- There's a lot

going on right now.

I'm gonna die at a

really convenient time

so you don't have to

pick me up at five a.m.

- Aw, thank you.

That's very nice.

- Then again,

you're older than me

so you'll probably die first.

- No, I lead a very

healthy lifestyle.

- You're super

stressed all the time.

You were a b*tch yesterday.

- I know.

- Yeah, you should

probably shad us all

some apology donuts.

- Yeah, I'll have

to do something.

- Did you blow off

some steam last night?

How was your gender

reveal masquerade ball?

[refined music]

- Look at you.

You're wearing a costume.

Don't worry, Anna

made the same mistake.

- It was fine.

What'd you get up to?

- Nothing. I just

chilled, really.

- By yourself?

- Yeah.

- That's funny, 'cause this

looks weirdly like Beau.

- Oh yeah. I, yeah.

That's right. Sorry.

Now I remember. Beau was there.

- Yeah.

He came over so we

could read the Bible

and sing a hymn together.

- Well, I'm happy for you.

And it was nice of you

to help him this morning.

- By the way, Trisha lives here.

- I beg your pardon?

- Your interior

decorator lives here.

She has a whole setup.

She had like a

sleeping bag, a pillow.

She took her retainer out.

She lives here.

- Huh.

- So Trisha, how's

the renovations going?

- You know.

- More specifically?

- Well, we're still

waiting on some of the

lighting fixtures to

arrive, but curtains are up.

Carpets are down.

- Great.

- I do have some prints

I wanna run past you.

I just need to get them.

- Ask her.

- You can ask her.

- Oh, erm, Ellie wants

to ask you something.

- Okay. That's fine.

- Is everything all good?

- Not in the Middle East.

- With you.

- Well, they discontinued

my favorite deodorant,

which is not great, but.

- We know that

you're living here.

- No I'm not.

- Gwen and Beau saw you.

- Are they together?

- Ah, um, I don't-

- Ah, so it's just casual then.

- Yeah, you can't

be living here.

- I'm not.

- They saw you.

- I was working late.

- You worked til seven a.m.?

- I'm very dedicated.

- [Ellie] Okay. You

need to move out.

- Never moved in.

- Trisha-

- Prove it.

- What?

- Can you prove it?

Brilliant. So that's sorted.

Do you wanna see

these prints or what?

- Sure.

- Okay.

Okay.

Okay.

[quirky piano music]

- Okay. They all

feel quite gloomy.

- Depressing, yeah.

Just upsetting.

Harrowing.

- What, really?

She's on a swing.

- Technically.

[horn honking]

[quirky piano music]

- Can you not honk

your horn please?

- Can you help me with these?

- I'm actually quite busy, Mum.

- There's no one here.

- Yeah, but we've got services

almost every day this week.

We're filming a TV

ad here tomorrow.

Gonna be on TV.

- Oh yeah? Where's Gwen?

- Is this her stuff?

- Yes.

- Why are you dropping it here?

- Hey, hey. Still haven't

fixed my wing mirror.

- Mum, Mum! Mum!

Mum, what are you doing?

- I told you to stop

harassing Stu and you didn't.

He's not moving out and

you're not moving back in.

So here's your stuff.

- Come on. Don't be so dramatic.

- Oh, oh. You wanna talk drama?

The police called Stu

about a hit and run.

- Oh my God. That

sounds really serious.

- You owe him an apology.

- Well, he owes me an apology

for fondling my bosom

and saying "hubba hubba".

- Gwen, that's not funny.

- So not funny.

- Come on. That's

a little bit funny.

It's not my fault none

of you can take a joke.

- These are not jokes.

I'm putting my foot down.

Goodbye.

- What are you, wait.

What do you mean goodbye?

Mum. Mum!

What the f*ck!

Mum!

[upbeat piano music]

- [Narrator] Welcome to this

meditation for beginners.

Remain focused and in touch with

what you're thinking

and feeling.

If it helps you, take a pause,

so that you can respond to it.

[board crashing]

- What was that?

Gwen!

- Ah, your vision

board fell down.

- Yeah, I can see that.

- I think my foot did it.

[Ellie sighing]

At least the strange couple

holding an ultrasound survived.

You don't even like kids.

- I like my own kids.

- Why is there so

many of Meghan Markle?

- She's my style inspo.

- Why do you do

this to yourself?

Meghan Markle is

a literal princess

and Henry Golding was

"GQ"'s Man of the Year.

- Exactly.

- No, but if you only compare

yourself to people like this,

you're always gonna feel stank.

- Gwen, you don't get it.

You need a vision for your life.

What you think about,

you bring about.

- Well, I've been thinking

about Stu leaving Mum for weeks

and he's still there.

It's fricking bullshit.

- Do you know what's

bullshit, Gwen?

The fact that you

can poo in a box

and leave it on Mum's doorstep

and she still likes

you more than me.

- I don't know. She was

pretty pissed yesterday.

- She'll forgive you.

You're here favorite.

- No, Stu's her favorite now.

You're my favorite.

- Really?

- Yeah.

Hell yeah. You're letting

me live here, rent free.

- No, I've been

docking your wages.

Do you not read your pay slip?

- [chuckling] What's a pay slip?

- Do you wanna smell

my morning breath?

- Gross. Yuck.

Okay, I'm gonna go get ready.

I'm channeling Meghan Markle.

- I think we should

ditch the fascinator.

- Really? My hair's not done.

I'm thinking of

getting highlights.

- Getting highlights.

Yes, I know, I know.

- [Ellie] So is this

person gonna be any good?

- Okay. Let me put this

into perspective for you.

For "Avatar", James

Cameron had 237 million.

You've given me $640.

- The $40 was for morning tea.

- Okay, well, for 600 bucks,

you get a third-year

Polytechnic student

who's really grateful

for the opportunity.

- I've been on TV before.

We were trying to

break the record

for the world's

biggest Lamington.

But we were a few meters off.

- Yeah.

Well, it's just a shame

there's not more cloud cover.

For lighting.

- Okay.

- Hey, Beau.

I really like your T-shirt.

Where'd you get that?

- I made it.

- Oh, no way.

- Actually, we're going

to have to make sure

that's not visible.

- Uh, g'day, everyone.

My name is Bradley.

I wanna thank you

for this opportunity.

- It's a shame there's not

more cloud cover, for lighting.

- I've only really got

one note for you guys.

Don't act, just be.

- Be what?

- Make some magic.

Okay?

- Right. Where's

the first setup?

- We're all going to die.

- That's a really

dark place to start.

And give me the fascinator.

- The city slag stole sultanas.

The city slag stole sultanas.

- Hi, I'm Karen.

That's not my name.

- No.

- Your loved ones

will be safe with me.

- Are you doing an accent?

[Dean vocalizing]

- Hi, I'm Sharon,

and I do the food.

- You'll have to speak up,

Shares, we can't hear you.

- Oh, actually, what sort of

gain have you got the mic on?

'Cause I can deliver

a lot of heat.

I've got, I'm classically

trained. I'm very

powerful orally.

- None of us know when

we're going to die,

but it will happen to you.

- [Gwen] Is that a threat?

- It's a fact of life, Gwen.

- Your loved ones

will be safe with me.

- Still a pretty thick accent.

- Okay.

Hi, I'm Sharon, and we.

- The best catering in town.

- Best, we do the

best catering in town.

- Yeah.

- Best catering in town.

Best catering in town.

Best catering in town!

- Okay.

- Hi, Sharon. It's bakery.

[Dean muttering]

- [Ellie] Okay, can I have

some positive feedback?

- You look good

without the fascinator.

- I've actually

forgotten how I talk.

- And that's why you should

choose Loving Tributes.

- It's really nice to

work with a professional.

I'm gonna cut there.

- [Dean] Great.

- Thanks for all your

hard work today. Kanpai.

- Are we done?

Are we wrapping?

- Yeah.

- That's a wrap, guys!

Well done, everybody. Well done.

- We don't have anything

else booked for this weekend

so you can call it

an early minute.

Do you think that's

gonna be all good?

- Yeah. I think there's

definitely stuff she can use.

- Ooh.

- I feel like this

is the new me.

I'll have one martini,

please, shaken and stirred.

- Okay, no thank you.

We like Beau, bring back Beau.

- Why don't you all

come back to mine

for a spa and a barbecue?

A spabecue!

- I'd actually go for a spa.

- I'd love a wind-down.

I'm still buzzing.

- [Gwen] You gonna come?

- Oh no. You guys go.

I've got stuff I need-

- You should come.

- Don't feel like you

have to invite me.

- You're coming. All right?

- Okay.

- Rad.

- [Ellie] Is that a dead bird?

- Yeah. I didn't ask

her to get that shot.

I don't know why

she's, yeah, let's go.

Don't tell her, just

go. Don't talk to her.

- Come on through.

- Lovely place.

- Oh, thanks.

Yeah, it's all

double glazed now.

You can still her Mignon and

Remy next door going at it.

They're European, so they

do it in the morning.

- And from Jellie

Park in Christchurch.

- Hey, I brought

kebabs and donuts.

I hope that's okay.

- Oh, you didn't have

to bring anything.

Pop them over there with Ray.

- Hi, Ray. I'm Ellie.

- Hi.

- James, Lauren,

come and say hi.

Sorry they're so rude.

It's hard to get them outta

their rooms these days.

- No, I was same

when I was a kid, eh,

I just, I had this

poster of J. Lo

and I would just

talk to her all day.

- You and J. Lo just talked?

[Beau laughing]

- Ellie had a poster of Casper

the Friendly Ghost on her wall.

- His name's Devin Sawa.

It was when Casper got to

be a real boy for the day.

At least I didn't hump things.

- Ellie.

- What?

- Shut up.

- You did, you humped

anything with a corner.

Remember when you got us

kicked out of Come and Go?

- Shut up.

- We've all done something

we're ashamed of at Come and Go.

Kids do the darndest things.

- I know. James shivved

a boy at Scouts.

Remember that? Right

in the stomach.

James, come and say hi, please.

[all protesting]

- Oh, Kobe's here.

You remember my cousin, Kobe?

- Hi.

- He bought me this neat poncho.

Come have a sau-zy, hon

Some more chicken?

- I did, I'm vegetarian.

I mentioned it to Ray,

but I don't think-

- Just eat the bread, love.

- Okay.

- Excuse me.

Sorry. Just looking for my rose.

- God, you're underdressed.

- Ha ha, very funny.

- How was the gender

reveal masquerade?

- It was great.

Yeah, it was, it was.

- [Crowd] Three, two, one.

[crowd cheering]

I've gotta return this.

- [Kobe] Fecking awful?

- [laughing] Yeah. Yeah.

How was work? Lots of poos?

Sorry, I don't know

why I said that,

but it is what you do, isn't it?

- I do do poos, yes.

- Gross.

- Well, you touch

dead people all day.

- Not all day.

I'm a business owner.

Like, I'm a girlboss.

- Girlboss.

You don't have to say girlboss.

You can just say boss.

I mean, you don't say girl

pilot, girl accountant,

girl snowboarding instructor.

- Okay, you're annoying me now.

- Why don't you go hang

out with them, then?

- I was a bit rude

the other day.

- Yeah, I know, I was there.

And just so you know,

if you ever talk to

Shares like that again,

I'll come for you.

I mean, I'm totally joking.

- Beau, how do you

make your t-shirts?

- Oh, it's just a

shop at the mall.

- You should make more.

People would buy them.

- Yeah. Put me down for a dozen.

- [laughing] Why would

you want a dozen?

- I really like them.

- Ellie, that's so weird.

You can't do that,

I've told you.

You can't just come into a

conversation and start laughing

if you weren't there

from the beginning.

It's weird.

- Sorry.

Sorry.

I also wanna apologize

to you all for yesterday.

I was feeling a bit overwhelmed

and I took it out on you.

- I acknowledge your apology.

- Thank you.

- It's all good.

- Wait, so what,

you guys reckon that the

t-shirts would actually sell?

- I said pop me

down for a dozen.

We can afford it.

[Ray sighing]

We won the lotto.

- What?

- [Sharon] We won the lotto!

- Oh my God!

- I know we said we

wouldn't tell, Ray,

but these are my friends

and you know I hate

keeping secrets.

- Okay. This makes sense.

- Was it the chocolate fountain?

- More the Jeep.

- That is wonderful news.

- Couldn't happen

to nicer people.

- And thanks for

hosting the wrap party.

To Ray and Shares.

[all cheering]

Oh, thanks, Shares.

Thank you. Ooh.

- Ray's always wanted a

spa, haven't you, Ray?

- Yeah.

- How did you guys meet?

- Well, we met at intermediate.

Well, I was still

at intermediate.

Ray was finishing high school.

- A regular Elvis and Priscilla.

- Dean. Don't you

do a good Elvis?

- No.

- I've got to hear this.

- Go, Dean.

- Oh, thank you.

Thank you very much.

Memphis, baby.

A blue suede shoes. Uh-huh!

- What's the deal with that?

What's the deal with-

- Ah-ha-ha. Oh.

- Oh, you?

- Oh, I'm still

going. Uh huh huh.

I'm finished now.

[Ellie laughing]

- Dean, I think your

phone's ringing.

- It was really good.

It's really good, Dean.

- Yeah, it's probably my agent.

Oh, hi, Dad.

Yep. It's HDMI3.

And then, yeah. Well,

I've labeled the remote.

- Are you wasted?

- You know how to do it.

You've done it before.

Yeah. Okay.

Okay. I'll see you soon.

Um, I've gotta go, but

thank you for a great day.

- Oh, but we haven't

had the donuts yet.

Oh, guys, let's

quickly have dessert

before Dean goes.

Outsies. Come on.

- Thank you.

Frankie!

- Hey.

- You must be Huia.

- Yeah. Where's Beau?

He was meant to pick Frankie up.

- sh*t. He fell asleep.

- Daddy.

- Oh, Frankenstein. What

the, what time is it?

- [Huia] I'm heading

out, remember?

- Oh, um, yeah, yeah, sorry.

Oh, I got us some tickets

to "Disney On Ice".

- Shh. That's a surprise.

Be a good girl for Daddy, okay?

Love you.

Okay, bye. Thanks.

- Bye.

- See you tomorrow.

- Have a good one.

Do you want a donut?

Yeah, come on.

- She's so f*cking hot.
