01x08 - The Strange Situation

[bunniefuu]

You know that you
don't have to go.

I know you're sorry
for not being... clever

about your activities
in this house.

..the real betrayal is that
you're leaving me here,

by myself, with these people.

Angel.

You know this saying,
"don't sh*t where you eat"?

Never at a wedding.

That is so basic!

I'm sorry, OK, Rosa? I just...

You want to have 100 girlfriends
like Cristiano Ronaldo.

Excellent.

Great idea. I love
it. I love it!

But it doesn't come cheap.

Go and pay for Angel's taxi.

- What?
- Go!

Hey.

I'm sorry about everything.

These feelings, you know,
they are for your girlfriend,

if that's what you call a
person you had a baby with,

but no sex.

Hi!

Mm!

This the sad, lonely cousin?

You need help with that?

No.

Some boys just need to
smile more.

- Whoo!
- 'Bye!

What the f*ck?

You OK?

You know Kamali from
Young Global Leaders?

Oh, yeah.

She messaged everyone
pretending to be stressed out

because she got into
Columbia and Harvard.

Oh.

- Well, it's very impressive.
- Yeah.

Let's hope she doesn't choke on
her humble brag before deciding.

There's plenty of
good options here, Ol.

Sydney, UNSW, ANU...

Mum. Ew.

Well, you know, those US
schools and scholarships,

it's very competitive.

Not if you get in.

And what about Baby J?

It's not the Stone Age, Mum.
I'm sure Harvard has a creche.

Haven't seen Santi
around for a few days.

Well, yeah.

Maybe he's got his
own life. Or whatever.

Oh. Baby wipes?

Oh!

Morning, morning. Oly.

Yes!

Yes. Thank you.

Spoke to her yet?

Thank you.

Oh! Sorry!

I didn't mean to make a
scene and embarrass you.

Uce, fix that sh*t.

I'm with him, sir.

Oh, well, make sure you pass
the history exam, Vince.

We are very lucky to be
approached for this initiative

and to help rebuild
those important networks

of social support in
our local communities.

The money raised
from your videos

goes towards the
first community event.

The video that raises the most

will be used for the launch
of the online program.

And also you get
cute certificates.

OK, then.

You've been given your groups,

so I suggest you
spend some time and...

Or... OK, then.

You gotta go do
something about it, uce.

Go.

Hey, Oly.

Can we help you?

Yeah, I was just gonna say...
I was gonna say to Oly...

..if you wanted
to switch groups,

our group's just over there.

You could come join
ours if you wanted.

I didn't know you were
in charge of the groups.

That's not what I'm saying.

Oly, we're going
to the quad, stat.

Yeah, we should probably just
stick with our own groups.

OK.

Remember that a
simple idea ex*cuted well...

Maybe we could hang out later.

I don't know. I have a
lot of study to do, so...

Maybe I could take
Jacinda for a walk.

You can walk her
whenever you want.

- What was that about?
- Oh, nothing.

What's his problem?

I don't know.

Maybe he feels too
constrained by the parameters.

Did you guys break up?

I don't even know
if we were together

because he refuses to
acknowledge any labels.

- You're so your dad.
- My dad's not bisexual.

So you are bisexual!

No, Oly, this is
all so pedantic.

Trying to understand what's
going on is pedantic?

Do you wanna hang
with me or not?

Do you see what I'm
dealing with here?

Me?

Um, OK.

Um, well, I... I think that...

I think that it's nice

that he just wants to
recognise your soul

and not the label
or... or the package.

Mm, thank you, yes.

But if you really
cared for Lachie,

then you'd see that he
just wants reassurance

that your souls are together

and not getting with any
other... packages, yeah?

Somehow you've succeeded in
making the concept of a soul

sound uptight.

OK, should we get on
with the video idea?

We don't literally have to
make a video. Like, who cares?

For God's sake!

Sorry.

It's OK.

It's not like I'm
winning at life.

Oh.

Things not so good
with Mr Introspective?

Oh...

That's over.

I'm totally fine about it.

I sincerely hope you lot aren't
going to bore me to death.

Um, no way. We are not having
cringe vibes in our vid.

- That's my rule.
- No, no rules.

Rules are so
heteronormative. Yuck.

And snap.

That fully ties in with my idea,

and what I'm hearing is we
are all feeling the need

to break out, yes?

So is this, like, a
partner-type situation?

Should we, I don't know,
pick a dance partner?

Just do your own thing.

Yeah, yeah, but
isn't it like a...

Isn't it about,
like, a connection?

Yeah, connection
to your true self.

- Alright?
- Yeah, OK.

So we good, then?

Santi?

Look, there is nothing
to be ashamed about

knocking up a boujee geek
who's left you on read.

She hasn't left me on read.

Even if she should have.

Then why is she cosy
o' yonder with her ex?

- Why do you give a sh*t, huh?
- 'Ex' is so prescriptive.

Hey, maybe we should split
up into pairs or something.

No, we need an equaliser here

or we are never
gonna get a flow.

You got any weed?

I'm not carrying buds
around with me 24/7.

Look, I am not trying to
box you in to your identity,

but, like... do you?

- You do?
- Yeah, OK, I do.

- Ah!
- Yes!

- Come on, man.
- No, no, no, no, no.

You don't need to do
this. This is unnecessary.

I thought my idea of getting
made up as the Kardashians,

holding hands,
getting electrocuted

and then all dying together

as a PSA on the dangers
of social media was good.

But this I'm also into.

- Blurggh!
- Lurggh!

Plus, I f*ck' love zombies.

Arggh!

Stop smiling. You're
supposed to be dead.

- Brains!
- Ooh!

Lurggh! Blurggh!

Oh!

It's never gonna work
if everyone looks happy.

Everybody stop smiling.

- Ms Davis!
- Uh, uh, urggh!

I can't believe I'm saying this,

but I see where
he's coming from.

Are you serious?

- You can be...
- What?

You can be kind of scary.

- I'm not scary.
- N...

Walking home alone
at night is scary.

You know what I mean.

What, so I'm
supposed to be all...

..go with the flow!

- Whatever cool people do.
- Maybe.

Well, maybe you should
go with the flow.

Are you kidding? I'm as flowy
as I've ever been right now!

- At least I'm trying.
- So am I!

What happened to us?

It seems we could tell
the future, and now...

I just feel like sometimes
I want to fast-forward

and see what happens at the end.

Or rewind and start
all over again.

- Maybe you can.
- Yeah, right.

He does keep looking over here.

Girl, my therapist
would be so happy with me.

I feel that this is visual gold.

Visual gold.

Should I tell them that no-one's
recording this right now?

So, what do you think
about connection?

- Obviously, Talia's, like...
- .. "They're clouds."

Oh.

That is gross.

- Angie...
- Mm-hm?

- Are you OK?
- Yeah.

I'm fine.

- Are you OK?
- No.

I'm sh*t.

This whole thing is sh*t,
pushing feelings down that...

..won't go away is sh*t.

I know.

You know, when I woke
up the next morning,

I felt like I jumped into
another version of my life.

Yeah.

But it isn't.

It's this version.

This is it.

Whoa.

Uce!

I am the king.

I put it out there
and it did manifest.

Finally got 20,000
subscribers, eh?

No. I don't need help
manifesting that.

Me and Reema.

- Oh!
- Yeah.

- What happened?
- We had a moment.

Doing a group
assignment?

Wow. You need to take
it a lot more serious.

- Uh-huh.
- I mean it.

Sort your sh*t out with Oly.

Oly doesn't even
want to talk to me.

Then... then find another way.

'Cause I'm not gonna
have a sulk-fest

c*ck-blocking my life path
with my queen, alright?

I just touched Vince's hand.

What? What do you mean?

I just touched his hand.

With my hand. Like this.

Why did you do that?

I don't know, I just did.

- I thought you hated Vince.
- So did I.

What is going on?

I'm sorry, I know we
hate Santi right now,

and everyone Santi-adjacent.

No, no, that's not what I mean.
I like that. That's really cute.

So you think it's right
that I was mad at him?

- That I am mad at him?
- But you are right.

- He was a d*ck.
- Exactly.

But you need to go right now

because he's coming over here

and you look like
you're about to cave.

Hi, this is Dom.
Please leave a message.

Hey, Dad, it's me.
Um, where are you?

Maybe we could meet up, um,

because I need to talk
to you about some stuff

that is going on.

Um, I could meet you at home.

Or I can just come to
wherever you are. 'Bye.

- He's talking to her.
- Cazu, cazu, cazu.

Dad?

Dad?

Excuse me?

Excuse me, please!

What the actual f*ck?!

- I thought the boat sank!
- Um, no.

This one's Birdie's boat.

Sorry, Birdie?

Oh, yeah, um...

Oly, this is Birdie.

Um, Birdie, this is Oly, and
you've already met Jacinda.

Oh!

Why have you
already met Jacinda?

Is this what you've been
doing this whole time?

- No.
- Is this why you bought a boat?

- So that you could do this?
- No, this is not anything.

This is nothing.

No... This is not
what you think it is.

Oh, good!

Because it looks like you're
having some secret affair.

No, no, no, no, this
is not an affair!

This is like a...

This is like a, you know, thing

that people do.

Life's not simple, darling.

Oh, no sh*t, Dad!

That's actually why I
was trying to find you.

I'm sorry.

This is Reema. Leave a message.

Oh, my God!

Reems, I just
went... I just saw...

Call me!

Actually, f*ck it, where
are you? I'm coming over.

Reema!

This is Lachie. You
know what to do.

Oly.

What's the matter?

Um...

Oh!

- You were right.
- I was?

Go with the flow.

Yeah, no offence, but the
flow says you'd better go.

But also, thank you so
much for your wise counsel.

'Bye!

"Go with the flow."
Did I even say that?

Why would I say
something like that?

How about, "Upload the f*ck'
video you were meant to do

"instead of going with
the flow all over my day?"

Oh, sorry, J.

Mummy's very upset. One
day you'll understand why.

- Mum!
- Yeah, what's happened?

Nothing!

Could you mind her?

Yes, of course, I would love to.

Hello!

Has something happened?

No. Why?

Did something happen with you?

No.

Nothing.

Aw.

- Mm.
- Ew!

- Ew, Mum, what's that?
- What?

Oh. Oh!

Weird. That's disgusting.

That's spaghetti from my lunch.

Gross.

I just was asking because
Santi came by after school.

- Is that where you're going?
- Mum.

Obviously.

So, I don't want to get married.

I don't exactly have positive
role models on that front.

- Mm-hm.
- And you very much f*cked up.

And I don't like it
that you did that,

but I also don't want to never
talk again like last time.

Neither do I.

OK.

And I'm really,
really sorry, Oly.

I kinda just freaked out

when it looked like you
didn't want me anymore.

Wanna go for a walk?

We can talk about it.

Oh, and I do not
want another baby.

Neither do I.

Oops.

Piñata!

You know I'm not Mexican, right?

Actually, they say piñatas
originated in China.

That's r*cist.

I can't f*ck a r*cist.

That's fair enough.

- Yeah.
- Yeah.

- There.
- OK.

I researched.

sh*t!

They're pretty full these days.

Did it feel different
to last time?

We can test it out
again if you want.

Why don't you stay over?

Have you forgotten
about our baby?

- About this big.
- Mm.

- Needs these.
- Yeah, sh*t.

Well, we could just go grab
her, bring her back here.

We can all have a sleepover.

What's wrong?

I think you make
me really happy.
