01x08 - Episode 8

[bunniefuu]

It's like an itch.

You should
probably get that checked.

Mo!

Go away, Maya!

You're so mean to her.

Easy for you to say.

You don't live with her.

But, no,
I have no intention

of ever living in Sri Lanka.

Really?
-Really.

My cousins are f*cking weird.

One of them has a crush on me.

Yeah, I believe that.

You know how there's
a difference between

home and, like, home-home?

How do you know
if you've never been?

Well, maybe I go and realise

that it's neither
of these places.

But...I'll be new

and know.

Mo, when you try to be new,
do you know what happens?

You just end up being the same,
just...different.

Are you saying
people don't change?

Yep.

Like Tully, for example.

Same forever.

So are you saying that Tully's
gonna be a sook forever?

Mo, does Maya hate me?

No-one could ever
hate you, Priya.

She just hates herself
at the moment.

Sometimes I wish I could just

reach into her head
and scream...

"Chill!"

Like...

Are you
actually gonna leave?

No.

I'm gonna stay here forever.

Oh, they're jealous.

They're jealous? Of what?
-Oh, yeah. Of... Look at you!

You are such a martyr.

I'm not!

It's fine.

sh*t.

-It's fine, it's fine.
-Mm?

It's fine. Don't worry about it.
Shh, don't worry about it.

She's...

-Just tell me now. Come on.
-Tell you what?

-Admit it. Admit it!
-Admit what? Admit what?

-Admit the truth.
-Huh?

-You're very good.
-Yeah?

You're very, very good.

-I know that.

You're top ten.
You're definitely up there.

But you can't...
You're not the best. I'm sorry!

The best is a very special woman
that I once knew.

OK, I'll be back.

Alright, I just gotta
take the dog

for a cute little poo-poo walk.

You know, his are,
like, so small, they're like...

..like little beans
and you can just, like,

pick them up and eat them, like,
"Munch, munch, munch, munch..."

Alright, no, no.
No, you need...

Let me park in peace!
-This is definitely in the test.

-Mo, you need to pay attention!
-I don't care!

-I am paying attention!
-You're not paying attention!

-Open your eyes! Spin it!
-It doesn't do more!

-It's locked! It's locked!
-It does do more!

I don't know what you want.
It's locked.

-It doesn't spin any more.
It does spin more!

The wheel doesn't do more!

He's posting all the time.
What even is this?

What app even is...

Mum, as if you're talking
about Dad right now!

You gotta rip
the bandaid off, Mum.

These apps, they're dead-arse
rotting your brain.

-What are you talking about?
-They are!

Hello?

Adela?

Hi.

-Maya! Maya...
-Oh, my God, Mum!

I can see you.
We made eye contact.

-I did it!
-Did what?

I told your dad
that I'm divorcing him.

b*tch, you what?!

I just said, "No more.

"You know,
I deserve to be happy."

Oh, my God! You do!

-I do!
-You're kidding me.

I'm really proud of you.

-Yeah?
-Yes!

But only because
I'm in a good mood

and this is the last one, OK?

Yep.

-Give me your hand.
-Oh, my God.

-Can you chill, please?
-I am.

-You are?
-I am.

I am! I am!

It doesn't hurt.

It's a natural reaction, right?

Sure.

-I'm sorry.
Don't be sorry.

Who are you?

You were gone for ages.

I didn't think
you were coming back.

Any of these good?

Uh, I have no idea.

-You haven't read 'em?
-Nope.

Well, why do you have 'em?

'Cause they make me look clever.

Mmm.

Um, I...

..I've got to get ready for work
so you can't stay tonight.

Sorry.

Oh, what a shame he's gone.

-Oh, here we go!
-Oh, my God! No!

This is my really
good friend's older brother.

And he's not really
just my good friend.

This is a potential
love of my life, OK?

Right, OK. Are you done?

Told you.

Found him a couple of blocks up.

You're alright.

You know...

..your brother came around
asking for money.

For what?

Come on, Gus.

You went on an adventure,
didn't you?

Are you hungry?

Did you run away?

This is...

..a friendly reminder
to all students...

-Hey, Priya.
-Hey.

..to have a good day.

-That is all.
-What is he saying?

Thank you.

That was weird, right?

-So, um...
-Yeah?

What you doing for lunch?

Mo. Can I have a word?

-Oh, 'bye.
-I'm in the middle of something.

-It'll just take a second.
-Sir, do you reckon...

-About the other night...
-Not now, sir.

Kate's got infected
and she said

that it smelt like absolute
sh*t for a week straight.

Not to be hyperbolic,

but the only infection
in my life is Mo.

OK, stopping you right there.

You know I don't like it
when you talk about your family

in a pejorative sense.

Well, I'm not changing
anytime soon.

What?

All you've done all term
is try to change.

Not that it's a bad thing.

I'm just saying, like,
the least you could do

is be real with me.

So you're saying I've changed?

No, tried to.
And it's not a bad thing.

-And I'm lying about it?
-OK, I didn't say that.

No, I'm hearing you, Pri.
You're saying I copied Kate.

OK, inspired, potentially.

But you're being
completely dramatic.

I didn't even mean it like that.

I'm sorry.

It's fine.

The sex is so loud!
It's traumatising.

I have to, like, perma-wear
noise-cancelling headphones now.

It's really weird, Gus,
don't you reckon?

How long have they
been hanging out for?

It feels like an eternity.

No, like, a week? Two? A month?

Does it matter?

Yeah, it does...

..if he's back
on the drugs again.

Yeah, my parents do drugs.

It's different.

Is it? Are we really still doing
the whole drug hierarchy thing?

It's still different, OK?

Why, though? It's not like
they're our responsibility.

And, also, I just told my mum
that we were a thing.

But you're not listening to me.

If he's back on it,

I don't know what it means
for your parents,

but for Jed,
he's going back to jail.

I'm sorry.

I didn't know.

What were you expecting?

He's South African.
Like, the worst kind of white.

Plus, George, it's actually
normal to hate your ex.

OK, he's not my ex.

And not when you're q*eer.

I don't know - I just feel like
a whole generation of us

were forced to be friends
with our exes

because "Love wins"
and "Community,"

and it just doesn't!

Love loses every single time

and I hate
the community anyways.

OK, let's not spiral.

It's just a break, right?

Yeah.

I'm not letting go of
this hot-water bottle

until it's over.

Aww, George!

You want me to do baby voice?

-No.

Is baby hungry?

-Baby want a chip?
-No!

No, seriously, George,
you're withering away.

-You need to eat.
-Mn-mn.

-Mm-hm. Eat the chip.
-Mn! Mn-mn!

Eat the chip, George.
Just eat the chip!

Eat the friggin' chip!
Let it happen!

-Eat it!

Oh, God.

I'll never be the same.

Mm, men are the worst.

-Especially the white g*y ones.
-Mmm.

f*ggots, the lot of them.
f*ggots.

And I'm using that slur

is the most
discriminatory way possible.

No comment on that.

Aww, my new hot-water bottle.

Don't play with it!

I'm not.

Hey, what are you doing?

It doesn't suit me.

No.

I think we look good.

Maya?

Do you like who you are?

Um...

I don't think
anyone's asked me that.

Why do you ask me that, darling?

Sometimes I just...

It's just...

I just...

What if, like...

Sometimes I just think about
if I didn't exist

and how everyone else in
the world would be without me

and all our friends
and Mo and you

and...and I think
you'd just be happier.

Every time...every time
I think about it,

you're just better off
without me and...

..and I'm not annoying
and I'm not embarrassing.

I don't...

Like, what if...

..what if I'm just nothing,

like a loser?

-You know what I mean?

Maya...

..you are not a loser.

Did someone at school
call you a loser?

You are not a loser!
You are the opposite of that.

I think, um...

..I've been...

..really guilty all day.

Like maybe...

..I failed you by leaving Dad.

But, Maya, I, um...

..I didn't stay
because of you or Mo.

I stayed because...

..no, I...

..I didn't like me.

But seeing you, Maya...

..me copying you...

I like who I am today.

As long as I get
to hang out with you,

I will always...

..always be happier.

-So you're wrong.

So you have to
take it back, please,

and say you're sorry.

-I take it back.
-Yeah?

Kate!

Can you come here, please?

Kate!

Kate...! Oh, Jesus.

Where is my Buddha? You know, my
special Buddha that Dad gave me?

Where is it?

This is your fault
for dating a junkie.

What?! f*ck, Kate!
What did you...

You do not call anyone a junkie!

Jed is an addict
who just got out of jail!

I already know and I don't care.

Why are you defending a guy
you met five days ago?

You know what?

-Dad was right.
-Oh!

Was Dad right, was he? What has
Dad said about me this time?

What you're doing is emotional
abuse! You are a narcissist!

Where the f*ck
did you learn that?

I've been reading about it
online, actually,

because men are victims
of violence too!

OK, so you're gonna
let a 10-second

f*cking TikTok video
diagnose me?

What's next, Kate?

I'm a bipolar,
f*cking schizophrenic,

autistic kleptomaniac?

You have no idea
what that man did to me!

Yes, I do! I was there!

-Do you know what I think, Kate?

I think that this is
the first time

that you've actually
seen me happy

and you can't stand it.

-You don't get it.
-Oh, I don't get it?

Because I'm a f*cking idiot?

I hate you!

Why don't you talk to me
when you can talk normally?

I've got a botox party
to get to.

Oh, Jesus!

Jed.

How did you get in?

The front door's open.

Ohh.

Um, you can't... I have to...

You can't stay. She's gonna
bite your head off.

Um, hey, listen.
You know that, um...

You know that Buddha
that was on the bookshelf?

-Yeah.

Have you seen it
or done anything with it?

Are you accusing me of stealing?

-Hm?
-No, of course not.

I'm just won...
I just... I don't know.

'Cause you looked at it before,
I thought... It doesn't matter.

-Uh, uh, uh!

-Oh, amazing.
-OK!

-To being single.
-New beginnings.

Yes.
New beginnings.

How good.
Very, very proud of you.

I'm just
gonna get some food.

Oh!
-I'll be back.

What a treat.
One sec.

New beginnings.
-New beginnings.

Mmm.

He's doing OK.

Working seems to suit him.

Oh, Lucy,
Maya and I had the best day.

I mean, she...

..she finally, finally
opened up to me.

We just... I...

Oh, f*ck. Sorry.

Oh...

You can tell me.

You don't have to never
tell me about them.

That would be really weird.

Mm.

This is Tully's music.

Oh.

Let me in.

I can't get in the back.
The back's locked.

-Mum's not home.

Hey. You good?

Yeah, yeah.

Do you wanna...

Hey, Mo! Have you
seen the group chat?!

Huh?

Oh, hey.

-Hey.
-Have you seen the group chat?

-I think Kate's off chops again.

"Gem tries get in house"?

-Who's Gem?
-Gem from Year 10?

Sorry. I was gonna let you in.

Oh, yeah.
Hey, sit down. Sit down.

Well, come eat. Eat.

Wow. That looks good.

What's that? Got some, uh,
avocado and tomato and stuff?

-Mm-hm.
-Is that pesto?

Nice. Where'd you...
where'd you learn how to cook?

Um, I guess I just, like,
observed my parents and stuff.

Right, nice, nice. Yeah, same.

Um, where...where is your mum?

Uh, she said she would
call you later.

Right, right. You, um...

You know I'm mad in love
with her?

-Your mum?
-Mmm.

I, uh... Yeah, I love her lots.

Hey, I'm actually
not very hungry

and I have to get ready.

-So...
-Yeah, yeah, all good.

-All good.
-Great. Cool. Thank you.

Hey, what's that?

Hey, Kate, give that to me.

-Kate! Kate!
-Jed, stop. Jed!

-Give me the phone.
-Jed!

f*ck! Help me!

-Come here, you f*cking b*tch!
-Help! Help!

-Come here! Kate!
-Help! Help me!

-Kate, come here!
-Help me!

Let me in!

-Come here, you f*cking b*tch!

Open the f*cking door!

Cheers!

Salud!

-Mmm...

What's going on?
-I'll get that. Leave it to me.

Oh, he's a tech whiz too.

Right.

You're driving 40km/h man!
-It's a 60 zone!

If I get caught speeding,
we're f*cked and Kate dies.

-Who cares?!
-We're f*cked either way!

-You're on your L's!
Shut up. I'm trying!

You're on your L's!
It doesn't matter. Just drive.

Don't talk to me.
Driver makes the rules.

What's happening?

Uh, it's alright! I'm fixing it.

-"I'm really daddy.

"Life's G buddy, hope..."

I don't even know
what she's saying anymore.

I think Jed's
going back to jail.

Wait. What?

Your brother was in jail?

What for?

-Did he, like, k*ll someone?
-No!

He just does
dumb sh*t like this.

Hey, I need some help!

I need some real help here, hey?

f*ck!

Hey!

Hey, Kate, come on now.

I need some help.
Please help me now.

OK, when does she
get back from work?

When does she get back
from f*cking work?!

Hey! Let me in the f*cking room!

No! Go away!

-You f*cking...

Stop it!

Tell Kate
we're two minutes away.

-What the f*ck?

-Tully's reading the group chat.
-What?

-Isn't he dead?
Yeah, obviously.

What happened
to the music?

-What happened?

Why don't...why don't the three
of us have, like, a group chat?

I don't have a group chat
with anyone.

- Can you...
-It'd be just, like...

We could give it a name. You can
call it whatever you want.

-A name?
'L-O-L'.

No, no, no!
'Single Steve Slutty...'

I think that's my cue
to go home.

No! No!
-Yes, I'm going back!

No, no, no. Stay.

No,
there's still a drink.

-Just stay for a little while.
-And...and...and...

-I'll do a little dance.
-Alan's still got a sexy dance.

You gotta see it!

Ride, cowboy!

-Why does Kate always do this?

She never wants
to do drugs with us,

then when she does, she just
messages the group chat.

Do you think she's OK?

She kind of just
stopped messaging.

Well, I don't know,

but it's annoying.

She's not responding
to the chat anymore.

Wait. What do you mean?
I don't know.

She's just not replying.
Mo, hurry up!

Don't f*ck' rush me!

Come on, come on!

Nice one, Mo.
Your parking's getting better.

My f*ck'
seatbelt's jammed!

Wait!
Finally!

-Maya, stay here.
-Um, wait.

If you get in trouble
for taking the car,

you better not snitch me in.

If I get caught, I absolutely
will be snitching you in.

Stay here.

Kate!
Kate, open this door now!

Goddammit! Open the door!

Kate!

Gus!

How's it going, Gussie?

You f*ck' dog!

Ugh!

Gus!

I'm sorry, Gussie.

What the f*ck?!

-Ugh!
-Get off of him!

Let him go!

-Ugh!
f*ck!

Holy sh*t, Gus.

f*ck!

What do we do now?

There's a rehab place

he always goes to
to straighten out.

Kate?

-Kate?

Oh, my God...

-What happened? What happened?

Hey, Alan,
put the music back on!

Yeah, in a second.
Hang on, hang on.

-And come and dance!
-Yeah, I'm coming, I'm coming!

Alright, I'm coming, I'm coming,
I'm coming, I'm coming!

-Here we go!

Ohh-hoo-hoo! Yeah!
