- Oi. Mason. Leave that kid alone.

Here you go.

Is it bad?

- Isn't it always?

- What's the passcode?

- 8008.

I'll call the parents;

you issue a warning.

- Yeah, yeah.

- We need to follow protocol

on this, Penny. All right?

One, deal with it sensitively.

Two, issue a warning that any

further behaviour's gonna result

in immediate suspension.

And, three, be open and―

- Yeah, I know rules, Ru;

I helped write them.

(MOANING ON VIDEO CONTINUES)

- STUDENTS: Morena.

(STUDENTS EXCLAIM, CHUCKLE)

- What's going on here?

Can anyone tell me? What's happening?

- She's excited they lowered

the price of pies.

- Excited cos

the price of pies went down.

- 100%.

- Yep, 100%. OK. Any other ideas?

- Trip over and faceplant.

- What?

- She tripped over and faceplanted.

- Yeah, looks like a faceplant to me.

But it's not.

OK, anyone else? What is this?

- Nah, uh, it's a porno, Miss.

- It's a porno.

10 points.

OK, this is a still from some

p*rn*graphy that we've found on a

student's phone at school today.

(STUDENTS MURMUR)

All right, shh, shh, shh.

OK.

You guys are all 14, 15, right,

which means that there's

a bunch of hormones that are

sloshing around your bodies,

making all sorts of things change ―

your testicles are growing and

dropping; your p*nis is getting

longer.

- (CHUCKLES)

- No, no, don't laugh. Don't laugh.

It is really important to understand

this stuff scientifically.

So, these reproductive hormones ―

these hormones that make you wanna

make babies ―

are causing you, quite rightly,

to think about sex all the time

and get erections all the time.

Am I right?

It's a scientific fact.

But here's the thing ―

in your everyday life,

you're not exposed to this

kind of sexual behaviour.

Well, I hope you're not.

But it's right there on your phone,

easily accessible.

So what are you gonna do? You're

curious. Of course you're curious.

So you're gonna look at it.

And when you look at it, it triggers

a release of dopamine in your brain.

Dopamine ― what's dopamine? Anyone?

Yep.

- Like, being happy.

- Yeah, happy feelings. So it

releases the happy feeling in

your brain,

so you're gonna wanna watch more

of it again and again and again

and again and again. Of course.

But here's the thing

about p*rn*graphy ―

the more you watch, the more

difficult it becomes to feel

that happy feeling,

so you're gonna watch more ―

more hardcore, nasty stuff.

And then what's worse is that when

you finally become lucky enough to

have a real-life sex partner

that you can have real-life sex

with, it won't live up to your

expectations,

because this partner of yours

won't be a porn star,

won't have fake everything

and faking everything,

and neither will you have a mega,

artificially enlarged p*nis, will

you?

So you're gonna feel inadequate, and

maybe some of you won't even be able

to get an erection,

which would be just sad.

Look, I know ― I know this

is embarrassing to talk about,

but it's important,

cos sex is wonderful, and don't

let this sh*t ruin it for you.

OK, repeat after me ―

'Thank you, Miss Wilding,

for saving my sex life.'

- STUDENTS: Thank you, Miss Wilding,

for saving my sex life.

- OK, plant cells. Open your books.

- Hey, man. How are you?

- OK, meatlovers, vegetarian,

- Bridge, I really don't

- We got team pizzas at ours.

- You are not leaving me alone

- Simon. I swear to God.

- She hates me talking about

that stuff at parties.

OK, here we go. Flagellum.

- Yeah.

that there is the flagellum.

- A fa― flagellum?

- Sounds like he'd

have fun with that.

- James.

- Oh, you're being sexist.

- Oh my God. (CHUCKLES)

- Could be a woman.

Could be a dominatrix fish.

- A bit of whipping

to go with the water play.

- Yeah, well, you're giving away

all our sex secrets now.

- Oh, hey, I don't like the whip.

- This one cried.

- Aw, James.

- Cry at some things.

I cry at some things.

- Why does everyone think it's

necessary to discuss their sex

lives?

I'm not interested in what

goes on behind closed doors.

- (CHUCKLES) Did it make

you uncomfortable, Sarah?

- No.

- You sure?

Come on. It's the 21st century.

I would've thought as a modern woman

and mum that you'd be really happy

talking about everything,

especially with your kids,

wouldn't you think?

I mean, you know, back in the day,

women weren't allowed to talk about

anything,

and that's what made us

kind of victims, right?

- Here we go. The Penny Lectures.

- I like talking about sex.

- Shut up.

- Suddenly,

every second woman's a victim.

- (EXCLAIMS) Are you saying

that no woman is a victim?

- I'm just saying that I think a lot

of women make false accusations

that completely destroy

innocent men's lives.

- CHUCKLES: OK, shall we move

this conversation along?

- Hold on, Bridget.

How do you know they're innocent,

Sarah?

- (CHUCKLES) Just because you're

a woman doesn't automatically mean

you're telling the truth.

I mean, sometimes they

have ulterior motives.

- So speaks the resident misogynist.

- (CHUCKLES) How can I be

a misogynist? I'm a woman.

Oh my God.

- Penny.

Hey, wait up.

- This is why I didn't wanna come,

Bridge.

- Just ignore it.

- As if that's ever been possible.

- Come on. I just meant that

- Only that it's

a total waste of time.

- That's a bit unfair, Penny.

- Oh, come on. They got busted

for fishing inside the reserve.

All they got was a piss-weak fine,

and now we're writing a disapproving

letter?

- I agree it's frustrating, Penny,

but what can Sea Saviours do when

they've already been through the

courts?

- Oh my God. Protest.

Protest, remember?

Their boat is sitting out there

when it should've been confiscated.

We should be picketing

their factories.

We should be calling the media.

We should be calling for a ban

on their fish,

otherwise they are

just gonna keep doing it.

- I would've stopped them

back in the day.

- Well, perhaps we can start by

sending a letter to the ministry

voicing our disappointment

over the fine.

- Hear, hear. Yeah.

(BICYCLE BRAKES SQUEAK)

- Hi.

- Hi.

- You know, I might've reacted better

if you'd given me some warning he was

coming back.

How long have you known?

- What difference does it make, Mum?

He can come back if he wants to.

It's got nothing to do with you.

- Yeah, but why didn't you tell me,

Grace?

- Can we just not talk about it

right now?

(CAR BOOT SHUTS)

- Is that the last of Mum's stuff?
