01x07 - Episode 7

[bunniefuu]

It was...him!

-What the f*ck?
-Don't look at me! I'm hideous.

Worth it for that save,
though, bro!

I mean, at least now you can
get a proper nose job.

You think I need one?

Yes.

Yes.

You don't even need to think
about it. You need it.

Catch you around, sir!

OK day?

Got through it.

-Thanks.
Yeah.

OK, I've got that.
Yeah.

Got it.

-Hello, you.
-Hey.

Is Alan back at work?

Yeah, he wanted
to try getting out.

If you think about things
too much, they just...

..seem to get bigger.

-You can do this.
-Mmm. I know.

I know. I will.

I love you.

What are you doing?

Is Maya on her way home?

-Mo?
-What?!

-Maya.
-What about her?

I thought you might know
where she is.

Probably off cooking lizards
or something. I don't know.

What's it got to do with me?

Where are you going?

To my room. Is that allowed?

-Wait. Wait.
-Oh, I swear to God.

-This house, man!
-Mo, wait!

I didn't plan things
to happen this way.

What way?

I'm divorcing your dad.

Ok?

I, um...

I haven't told him yet.

Well, why not?

Because, um...

I will. I will soon.

OK, well...

..can I go now or what?

Yeah. Yeah.

Go to your room.

-I've got a few options.
-Mm-hm?

Like...this one.

-Yep, I like that.
-Yeah?

You would look so good in that.

-You think?
-Yeah.

It's giving, like,
old-school Rihanna.

You know?

Mm-hm.

So I thought it might be...

Wait. Isn't this Priya?

Oh, my God.

Her TikToks are literally
social suicide.

OK, that was unnecessarily mean.

Uh, sorry, I...

My parents are getting
a divorce.

Shut the f*ck up.

Really?

No, seriously, like...right now.

Do you wanna talk about it?

Do you need to go home or...

Um...I'm not sure
I wanna go home.

Do you wanna stay at mine?

We have a sofa bed
if you don't want to share.

Oh, um... OK.

But it kinda gets cold
in the spare room.

What are you doing?

Top to toe.

Why?

You worried
I'll try to spoon you?

Can I see this?

Is it you?

Maybe.

You're not that weird, you know?

No, just...clueless.

What are you supposed to know?

Do you even like me?

What do you mean?

Let's go to sleep.

You can still keep the shirt.

You win a game and you think

you're too good to clean up
your own rubbish.

Have you forgotten
why you wear this tape?

You're running
the Glebe circuit.

You aren't back before the bell,
you aren't playing.

Sir?

My parents said that I shouldn't
be running with my nose.

Your legs still working?

-Chop-chop.
-I...

Thanks, sir.

-Wanna join?

Well, if you think that's bad,

imagine forgetting
to bring your deo.

Oi, Gus, hurry up!

Yeah, I'm coming, bro! Relax!

Hey.

Gus!

I'd go if I was you.

Ioane's not kidding around.

Yeah, I have to...

Yeah.

See you around.

'Bye.

Mo, good job. Hey.

You're really stepping up.

Have you been talking
to my mum again?

No.

Maya!

I know you weren't
at Priya's last night.

And?

And I'm not about to
cover for you with Mum.

How do you know
I wasn't at Priya's?

Because you weren't.

How would you even know
what she was doing?

Look, alright, just 'cause
you ditched all your friends,

it doesn't mean
everyone else has.

I haven't ditched
all my friends!

And I bet you didn't do
your poetry assignment either.

-What poetry assignment?
-Counts for 15%!

Counts for 15%!

Lie to Mum, be a f*ck'...
be a flake, I don't care.

But stop using other people

as an excuse for
your own identity crisis.

Or you could stop being
a f*ck' cop!

Ooh! What is wrong?

Can't I just hug my friends?

Maya, seriously. What is wrong?

Is this about
the Peeya-gate thing?

No.

Please do not tell me
that everyone found out

I pissed my pants in the church.

-OK...
-Hold up. You did what?

No, no. This is not
a conversation for now.

-Please. I'm serious, Kate.

'Sup, homies.
What did I miss?

Oh... Priya pissed herself
in church.

Nothing! Nothing.

Eh, who hasn't?

The trick is to wear dark pants.

Wait. What?

-OK.
-Um, OK?

Why do you know that?

OK!
-Catch you later?

There's somewhere new
I wanna show you.

No, I can't. Sorry, I'm busy.

Maybe go buy some deo instead.

Why would you say that?

What was that?
-Kate, what just happened?

Our team of builders have
got plenty of options for you.

Do you offer
a sage cleanse?

My aunty told me this place
used to be a surgery.

Yeah, back when all the
surgeries were lobotomies

and...and amputations.

So if these walls could talk...

I wouldn't
wanna listen.

So I love the light, obviously.

I'd really like to do something
about that doorway if possible.

It's all about the approvals
roulette, isn't it?

I mean, we had one place,
he ripped the kitchen out and...

..touched the bathroom and...

Yeah, it's...
All hell broke loose.

I mean, most of these places
are unsafe.

Who wants to be stepping up into
a shower when they're 75?

Oh.

She kicked.

My son is in Portugal.

I've never been to Portugal.

Neither have I.

-Sorry.
-Do you wanna see the kitchen?

Yeah, let's do that.

I was sorry to hear about
what happened.

Thanks.

We've...

..been taking it
one step at a time.

Word is you've done a wonderful
job with the students.

-Decent view up here.

Sorry, miss. Sir.

Joe, this is Mr Ioane.

Joe's one of our
scholarship students.

-Bright kid, eh?
-I'm actually on Pathways.

-Oh, yeah? What sport?
-Basketball.

Um, Australian Schools.

What?

10% of our cohort
are on scholarship.

It's not quite the bubble
you might think.

And so my meeting Joe
was just a coincidence?

Look, I know
you've been here before

and I hear you've been doing
great work since then.

We'd love to have you
at St Patty's.

I mean, think about it,
of course.

I will.

I will.

I heard this podcast that says
your life is like a garden.

If you don't tend to it
properly, it gets overgrown.

The wrong kinds of relationships
are like too much rain.

They seem good at first,
but then next thing,

you're wading through a swamp
with weeds up to your neck.

So...I need to do some pruning.

No sex. No relationships.

No chaos.

Sounds a little puritanical.

I just mean we definitely
shouldn't see each other.

I didn't think we were.

Yeah, I know. I was just...

I've been...

You've been thinking about it?

Maybe it's best we don't do this
while we're on duty.

Ok.

I'm trying to do
a boundary here.

I'm pruning.

I don't wanna be pruned.

Then why did you take me
back to your place

if you didn't wanna f*ck me?

Who said I didn't?

You did.

That's not what happened.

OK. We...we can't do this here.

OK, um...

I don't feel like I'm the one
bringing the chaos here.

"The colour jubilee.

"Colour jubilee centre.

"His nose is a nose...

"..is a nose."

Thank you.

Um, great, uh...adaptation,
George.

Thank you.

Next up...Maya.

Um, I didn't do it.

She left it at home, sir.

But I've got it here.

Alright. Let's hear it.

"He, she, they, them.

"My body is a prison.

"I hate my mum.

"My heart is
an ingrown pubic hair,

"a ball of pus

"destined to tear.

"Hands up, trying to be iconic.

"Hands down, max out,
lesbionic."

"Dig through the sh*t

"and find a hole.

"Look in the mirror.

"You are the mole."

OK! OK. Very, um... Very brave.

I like it. Thank you, Maya.

Alright. Gus!

Come on, mate.

Where is it?

In my head, sir.

OK, but I do need you
to hand something in.

It's all about the flow, sir.

-Oi. Oi. No.

Mate?

You know I actually did do it.

Yeah, I...I believe you.

But I still need you to give me

something I can look at
and mark.

Mate, how about you just say it,

I write it down
and then we're good?

Come on, mate. Go.

My mind is warped, you know?

I'm like a twisted tunnel
in the dark, you know?

I popped a pill
but the high wasn't there.

She took it with her.

I have no-one, nothing,
no peace.

I can't tell a soul
that when I'm with her...

..it's...it's like...light.

Ok.

Yeah, good job.

Thanks, sir.

Have you got a minute?

I think so.

Ok.

Um...

You dumped me
in the middle of the day

when I didn't even know
that we were together

and then you don't give me
a right of reply?

Ok.

Reply.

I get that my part in this
has been...confusing.

But you can also be...

..confusing.

I'm not confused.
I'm f*cking embarrassed.

One minute it's all...

And then next thing,
you're, like...

I didn't realise that was
that much of a thing.

So you did wanna f*ck me?

Of course I did!

I... Look, no.

-My, um, ex was really...
-Oh.

It was... You wanna talk
about chaos?

That. I...

I would absolutely f*ck you.
Right now.

I'm just all over the shop.

OK, then.

What are you smiling at?

Nothing!

So, what do you wanna do now?

I don't know. We could...

We could get pizza.

Hey, Al. Why don't you
call it a day?

What's this?

Um...minor damage.

-Was he on overtime?
-It's been settled.

How long?

F...fifteen hours.

He shouldn't have been
on the road.

We have swing drivers for that.

Well, not this week, we haven't.

We can't find them
for love or money.

Well, I tell you what -
then they need shorter shifts.

Look, I agree,
but I've got to...

You agree, do you? Let me
tell you something, Michael.

It's my name on the business
as well.

So how do you think it looks
for us when we've got trucks

steamrolling everything
in their f*ck' path

while these guys are
tearing out of here half-asleep?

Alright.

So you think, what,
paying excess

to some third-party f*ck'
insurance giant excuses that?

And that's how we're supposed
to sleep at night? Is it?

Mate.

I've got it.

f*ck.

Tully.

f*ck!

Lucinda.

He's been on repeat
for the last 20 minutes.

-Come on in.

Oh, the keys.

Hey, hey. What's happening?

-Hi.
-Coach!

You joining us for dinner?

Yeah?
-Come on!

-Hello, Alan.
-Come on in!

Keeping those kids on track.

And the team is going pretty...
Lots of wins.

Mm-hm.

It's OK.

It's good for the boys.

And Gus - is he still at school?

Yeah, Gus is doing well.

He always manages
to keep rolling along.

Yeah.

Sometimes I think it would be
really good to see him.

Just to let him know
that everything's OK.

Anyway,

what about you?

What about this new job, huh?

What?
Mmm! Oh, yes.

Yeah, I knew
they'd come knocking.

This is good!

Yeah... It's private.

-Ooh! f*ck' look at me!

I know.

But they've got a lot of, um...

-Money.
-Programs.

-Programs.

Scholarships. Academic support
for those who need it.

A First Nations bursary.
It's a lot to...think about.

And it's also OK if you just
wanna have a break, mate.

Mmm.

But it's not even about that.
It's just...

I think I can be useful there.

Well, there are kids at
every school that need help.

But...but you mean that I...
that I'd be walking away?

No, no, no, no. There's no
judgement here, mate, at all.

I mean, f*ck, today,

I told one of my clients
that my son was in Portugal.

You know, I went to
boarding school in the country

for my last couple of years.

I was there on a low-level
rugby scholarship.

Then, um...in Year 12,

my best mate died.

May I ask how he died?

The night before
term 2 went back,

he drove out to his farm
and, um...

..shot himself.

-Oh.
I'm sorry, mate.

I'm so sorry.

The weirdest thing is
what happened after. Um...

All the good that came
after that.

Like, all the petty sh*t
between us boys just stopped.

And we were undefeated
that year.

We were probably the best team
in the country that year.

This tiny little school.

But it all came back to him.

It was all about him.

Well, that's
not true, mate.

Mmm.

Do I need to confiscate
your keys?

Nah. I need the walk.

-Hey, Eddie.
-Yeah?

I'm sorry about your friend.

Yeah, they're lucky.

Who?

Whoever you choose.

-Whoever you choose.

Go away.

Hey, sir!

Hey, sir!

I saw your car.

Hey! Mo!

You know, they're lucky
to have you.

Are you OK?

I'm OK. You? You OK?

You're gonna do great
without me.

What do you mean?

Oh, I'm just gonna
take a little break.

It's OK to take a break.

You're leaving?

Well, f*ck off then!

Go!

You're a f*cking coward.

Yes, I know I haven't
given your pants back.

That's not why I was calling.

Oh. What's up?

Nah.

I was just checking
to see if you were free.
