00:00It's her 9th birthday, she's not getting hitched.
00:22Dad, leave Ned alone!
00:24Octavia! Daddy's not kicking it away from the windows!
00:28We thought Bub deserved the little pizzazz.
00:30Pizzazz? Does a 9 year old need a pizzazz?
00:33A bloody three-tiered cake and knapes?
00:36It's a potato!
00:38She's practicing!
00:39Don't worry about Dad, this looks perfect.
00:41Nothing's gonna stop us from having the best birthday ever.
00:44Totally. Just so you know, it's no biggie, but Mum will be coming to the party.
00:50Yeah, I just sort of mentioned it and you know Mum, she took that as an invite.
00:55Of course, yep, yep. No, that's fine, she's family too.
00:59This is good, this is good, this is actually really great.
01:03I'm just gonna, let's just make Taya's bed for her.
01:07Oh no, no, no, she's staying in a hotel. She didn't want to put us out. Classic.
01:11Oh, classic, she's just so classic.
01:14Uh, I will greet her with some French champagne.
01:17Good idea.
01:18Mmm.
01:28Mum!
01:29Oh, is it?
01:30Oh, so glad you could make it.
01:32Oh darling, it's good to see you.
01:34Oh, you too.
01:35She's here, so make sure that you-
01:36I get extra presents.
01:37Her presents is the present, remember that?
01:39Where's my present?
01:41Hello, aren't you a little bundle of energy?
01:44Say thank you.
01:45Oh, she should be careful with that, Lauren, it was very expensive.
01:48It's designer.
01:50Thanks, I guess.
01:53Oh, I was hoping she'd put that on, it is a birthday.
01:55I'll talk to her.
01:56It's lovely.
01:57Thanks so much.
01:58Nine-year-olds.
01:59Leroy!
02:00Happy birthday, Dana!
02:01Uncle, I forgot my presents.
02:02Presents later, baby girl.
02:03Hey, can you shove this in the kitchen for me?
02:04Oh my gosh, lollies, you know me so well.
02:05Not today, bub.
02:06Uncle Ned spent the whole night cooking.
02:07Sure have.
02:08This party already sucks.
02:09What the hell?
02:10A girl can't have party food at her own party?
02:11It's nay on the oudfe.
02:12But I've got all her favourite stuff.
02:13Can you put this in the fridge for Annie and help out with the catering?
02:15That'd be great.
02:16I don't know.
02:17I don't know.
02:18I don't know.
02:19I don't know.
02:20I don't know.
02:21I don't know.
02:22You can help with your orders.
02:23Aye, we're not supposed to say that word anymore.
02:24It's sex worker now.
02:25Enough with the jokes.
02:26Help!
02:27Who's going to eat this shit?
02:28The kids.
02:29And no trouble from you, Leroy.
02:30Today has to be perfect.
02:31Don't start.
02:32Bob's had the hardest year of her life.
02:33Sugar-free finger food's just going to make it worse.
02:35I'm staying out of it.
02:36You better do the same.
02:37Well, we've got to do something.
02:38She's got to do some things.
02:39She's got to do some things.
02:40She's got to do some things.
02:41She's got to do some things.
02:42She's got to do some things.
02:43She's got to do some things.
02:44She's got to do some things.
02:45She's got to do some things.
02:46You could sing her a song.
02:47I don't know.
02:48Yeah.
02:49A special birthday song from her own money.
02:50Maybe.
02:51Somebody's got to think about, bub.
02:52Stop!
02:53When we taught Lauren to swim, what did you tell me?
02:55Just chuck her in.
02:56Mm.
02:57Shit house advice.
02:58She nearly drowned.
02:59She nearly did, but she didn't, did she?
03:01No.
03:02She's not going to drown this time.
03:03No.
03:04No.
03:05No.
03:06No.
03:07No.
03:08No.
03:09No.
03:10No.
03:11No.
03:12No.
03:13No.
03:14No.
03:15No.
03:16Sometimes you've got to think before you swing.
03:19Let them think.
03:33Dad.
03:34Dad.
03:35Dad.
03:36Dad.
03:37What is that?
03:40Junk food.
03:42Don't look like junk food.
03:43It will when it ends up in the junk.
03:45Hey, Leroy, how about today you let people actually taste what I've cooked?
03:48Your kids can eat crap in their own time.
03:50Get on board or get in the bin. This is for Bub.
03:53For Bub? Sure.
03:54We're her guardians, not you.
03:59The things we do for family.
04:05Are you going to eat that?
04:07Are you going to eat that?
04:08Yes, why not?
04:10Because it's disgusting.
04:12Bub, put the dress on now.
04:14No, it's ugly.
04:15I don't care if you never wear it again, but you're wearing it today.
04:18It's itchy.
04:19Yeah, well, the things we do for family.
04:22Listen, your friends are here, your family's here, Annie's come a long way,
04:27so put the dress on, get downstairs and look alive.
04:30Hey, come here.
04:33Don't drop that. Come here.
04:39Ned and Lauren are unhinged.
04:41Thank you. Who made them king and queen of your warehouse?
04:43Oh, my castle's been pillaged by peacocks.
04:46Rennell used to keep it casual.
04:48Everyone brought a plate. Simple.
04:50None of the kids are going to want to eat that rubbish.
04:53But we know what Bub wants.
04:55Fuck yeah, we do.
04:56It's our time to shine.
05:00The contraband.
05:01Some people need saving from themselves.
05:05Honk, you're an evil genius.
05:09I tell my boys to spread the word.
05:11You have to join the fun mum thread.
05:13All the schoolmums are on it.
05:14Except Vivian, so don't tell Vivian.
05:16But you're fun, though.
05:17You'll qualify.
05:18Excuse me.
05:19Excuse me, party emergency.
05:21Principal Dana, now that I have you here, I'm the parents and friends.
05:23Oh, yes, yes.
05:24Sounds great.
05:25Send me an email.
05:27Yes, thank you.
05:28And people wonder why I didn't join the mum brigade.
05:30Some people make motherhood their entire personality.
05:32Hydrate.
05:33So what's the go?
05:34You heard from Cowboy?
05:35No.
05:36Thank God.
05:36Ned's really invested.
05:38He's gone like full dad mode.
05:40I know that look.
05:42What look?
05:43That look.
05:44Like you're about to give me detention.
05:45Well, I should.
05:46And a caning.
05:47Bub doesn't need all this fanfare.
05:49She needs her dad.
05:50Her real dad.
05:51Bub's never asked for that.
05:53Really?
05:53She's never brought up the dad question.
05:56Ever.
06:03Goodness, it's hotter in here than it is out there.
06:06No, don't bring that in.
06:08That's for the guests.
06:08I'm afraid the flies are enjoying it more than the guests.
06:11But there's still more to come.
06:12Where's Leroy?
06:13We've still got the stuffed aubergine.
06:14Look, to be honest, mum, you're not helping.
06:16Oh, darling, no one likes a try-hard.
06:19Why on earth are you doing all this yourself?
06:21Clearly, your efforts are being appreciated.
06:24Look.
06:25Thanks, mum.
06:26That's great.
06:30Chicken liver parfait with a prune compote.
06:32They're lovely.
06:33They really.
06:34Please.
06:37Hey, look, it's the birthday girl!
06:41What's with the dress?
06:42Hey, come on there.
06:43You look lovely, my girl.
06:45You look beautiful.
06:46Nice dress, birthday girl.
06:47Best birthday ever.
06:49Do you like the food?
06:50Can we do the piñata now?
06:52Yeah, soon.
06:53But maybe you want to say hello to everyone first, okay?
06:56I get it, bub, but you're nine now,
06:58and a big part of growing up is doing things you don't want to do.
07:00I'm proud of you, big girl.
07:02Now go have fun.
07:03Go on.
07:04Thanks, honey, Lauren.
07:06Aww.
07:08No one likes my food.
07:10Don't understand.
07:11Is it that bad?
07:13Aren't these kids hungry?
07:16They haven't even tried a single bite.
07:18Well, if there's anyone who knows how to go back to the drawing board,
07:22it's you.
07:22Now get that tight tush back in the kitchen.
07:25I love it when you objectify me.
07:30You're young lollies.
07:33This lollipop's awesome.
07:38What are you doing?
07:44You're about to ruin a little girl's birthday.
07:47You don't just breeze into my house.
07:49Whoa.
07:49Go.
07:50Get out of here now before anyone sees you.
07:51Whoa, whoa, whoa.
07:52Okay, I've got some news for you.
07:53You couldn't call ahead?
07:55Send a text?
07:56A friggin' smoke signal?
07:57Look, I found him, and I've got a name.
08:00No.
08:00No, tell me.
08:01I don't want to know.
08:03You asked me to find him, and I found him.
08:05You want to know who he is or not?
08:10Where'd you get the stats, girls?
08:12We'll never tell.
08:15Where'd you get the lolly, little man?
08:17I can't tell him.
08:21You're a good kid.
08:23Tell coach now Lou's dish, now the junk food.
08:25I'm not telling, because I'm not a snitching dog.
08:30Did you see Taya?
08:31What a picture she looked in that dress.
08:33What are you fussing about now?
08:35Look how stressed you are.
08:37Let me help.
08:39Mum, don't get all weird and judgy.
08:41Just want it to be perfect for Taya, you know?
08:43There's no such thing as perfect.
08:44Even my Lexus breaks down once in a while.
08:48I thought playing house was what you wanted.
08:51Yeah, yeah, yeah, look, I know what a deal is.
09:11I do deals all the time.
09:12But circumstances change.
09:13Lauren, have you seen Leroy?
09:14Oh, who's this?
09:17Hey, I'm Ned.
09:18Oh, yes, this is my husband.
09:20And Ned, this is Mr...
09:23Cowboy.
09:23Cowboy!
09:24Mr. Cowboy, yes, that's right.
09:26Oh, like a cowboy show.
09:29That's a great idea.
09:30The kids are going to love it.
09:31Well done.
09:32There's a really good spot for you down here under a tree.
09:35Yeah, yeah, it's a shady spot, yeah.
09:37Got me whipping everything.
09:38No, no, no.
09:39Cowboy.
09:39Cowboy.
09:40Yeah, yeah, all the kids are ready for you.
09:42Can you be a bit more discreet?
09:44Cowboy show.
09:44There you go.
09:44Give me those, Lommies.
09:45Give me those.
09:46Howdy.
09:47Howdy.
09:47Should we start the show with a yarn?
09:51Yeah!
09:52How about a bush ranger story?
09:54Yeah!
09:55A scary one?
09:56Yeah!
09:57Finally.
09:58Someone's eaten my food.
10:01Mm-hmm.
10:02Do you like it?
10:03Okay, so I've been looking for a couple of low-life bush rangers.
10:06Any idea where these little turds are getting their junk food?
10:10These fellas were up to no good.
10:12They were stealing and dealing and no one wanted to snitch.
10:15The cowboy has his ways.
10:17I'll put aside a box of tires for you.
10:23I found the coward bastards holed up in a cave.
10:27And I had the element of surprise, so I pounced.
10:31Enough!
10:32You reckon Taya's birthday.
10:33The old fella put up one hell of a fight.
10:35Taya's birthday!
10:36Buying time for the young buck to get away with the stash.
10:39Kids don't like canapes!
10:41Well, he was an old wily one, that old one.
10:42Your food sucks!
10:43So, I put the young buck in my sights.
10:46Taked down the young one first.
10:48Well, he might have had the physical advantage, but what I had was persistence.
10:52So I chased him across country.
10:55But no matter how close I got, I was always one step behind him.
10:59I tracked him through a bush.
11:02I was getting close.
11:04I could smell the mongrel.
11:06Then he vanished in a hidden cave behind the waterfall.
11:10But I had him cornered.
11:12Cornered in a crocodile-infested river.
11:15Don't know about you, but me, I don't want 66 crocodile teeth in my ass cheeks.
11:19That's not appropriate.
11:21Careful, Annie.
11:22Top end heat and bubbly have a way of creeping up on you.
11:26Champagne and I have an understanding.
11:28So, I waited.
11:30I waited a long time.
11:32With my trusty Smith and Wesson.
11:37So...
11:38How's it going?
11:39Perfect.
11:40Oh.
11:41Yeah.
11:42Had that one loaded right up then.
11:44Yeah, yeah.
11:44This is perfect, isn't it?
11:45Yeah, so perfect.
11:46Yeah, it looks perfect.
11:47I've been camped out for a week when the dog snuck up behind me.
11:50The son of a mongrel shot me in the back and I dropped my gun.
11:54But when Cowboy doesn't have his pistol...
11:56What does Cowboy use?
11:57I win!
11:58Yee-haw!
12:00Oh, no.
12:01What's he doing now?
12:02He's gonna take some kid's eye out.
12:04Ah!
12:07No lollies?
12:09That's cheap.
12:09That was riveting.
12:10I think I need a chaser.
12:12How about we bring you a birthday girl on stage?
12:14Yeah?
12:16Come on.
12:16Get Cowboy out of here, would you?
12:18Ah, yes.
12:19It'll be fun.
12:21Catch up?
12:21I didn't invite him.
12:22It's your fault he's here.
12:24You wanted to find Sperm Daddy.
12:25I helped.
12:27Done my bit.
12:28First of all, don't call him Sperm Daddy.
12:29That's gross.
12:30True.
12:31And second of all, he found him.
12:33Who?
12:34Sperm Daddy?
12:35Stop saying Sperm Daddy!
12:36Oh, delightful.
12:37Hi.
12:38Hope you're enjoying yourself.
12:39Hello.
12:39Hello.
12:40How are you?
12:41Food's great, isn't it?
12:43So who is he?
12:44Well, he hasn't told me yet because he's too busy being the least subtle private I'm
12:48planet Earth.
12:49Have you paid Quickdraw before?
12:51No, and I don't want to.
12:52Oh, it's easy.
12:54I'll show you.
12:55Are you going to sing Bubba's song or what?
12:57I don't know.
12:58It's a lot of parents.
13:00He's judgy.
13:03We can both see she's hating you.
13:05I reckon you can get out there and give her something to be excited about.
13:08How much cash did you pay him?
13:10He doesn't accept money.
13:11Shut up!
13:12You didn't pay him?
13:13I know, Donna.
13:14I tried.
13:15But he said I owe him a favor.
13:16What does that mean?
13:17How dead am I?
13:18Am I dead?
13:19You're on your own, Kaj.
13:20What we're going to do is we're going to take five steps and on the fifth step we turn
13:24around and we shoot each other.
13:26Sounds so stupid.
13:28Yeah, that's the spirit.
13:29Good girl.
13:29She's really hating this, isn't she?
13:31I would be too in that dress.
13:34Cake!
13:34Cake will cheer her up.
13:36I've never seen you so stressed, Lauren.
13:38Christ, you should thank your lucky stars you didn't have kids in the 70s.
13:41We couldn't pursue our careers back in those days.
13:44It was, you're a woman, you're at home with a little tyrant.
13:47Of course you are.
13:48Where else would you be?
13:49Where are the candles?
13:51It was expected.
13:53But I'm just like you.
13:54More at home in an office than a playpen.
13:57One day, I saw my husband playing with the boys on the lawn.
14:02The boys were laughing.
14:05He was laughing.
14:06I mean, they were just having the best time.
14:09And it hit me.
14:11I don't like kids.
14:13I never have.
14:15I love my boys.
14:16Of course I do.
14:17But I didn't like them.
14:19My husband, though, he actually liked their little Muppets.
14:24That's nice.
14:25For him, maybe, but not for me.
14:27I thought there was something wrong with me.
14:29But I want you to know there is nothing wrong with you.
14:34Ready?
14:34Three.
14:34And one.
14:36One.
14:36A mother-in-law knows.
14:38She knows.
14:40Two.
14:41Ned's just like his dad.
14:42Naturally paternal.
14:43Three.
14:44You try to hide it.
14:46But you're just like me.
14:47Four.
14:49You don't like kids.
14:50Five.
14:51Ben.
14:51I'm dead.
14:55I'm dead.
14:56I'm dead.
14:59She shot the cowboy.
15:00I'm dead.
15:02Enough of all of this.
15:04Thank you for your cowboy act.
15:06How about I sing my grandbaby a song?
15:09Go on.
15:10Where are the lollies, Trev?
15:15You'll never take it so long.
15:16Why?
15:17Use him.
15:18Use him.
15:20Bob?
15:20Come here.
15:21Leave him.
15:23There's a right for plating up that posh crap.
15:25Why is your beef with me?
15:28Hey, Bob.
15:29It's time for the curry.
15:31Are you all right?
15:38Great party, Bob.
15:40Happy birthday to...
15:45Cowboy?
15:48Cowboy!
15:50What a shit show.
15:53That was...
15:54That was my fault.
15:56I...
15:57I'm just bad at being a mum.
16:00So come on, then.
16:01Tell me everything you can about this sperm daddy.
16:04Tell his dad.
16:06You sure you want to know?
16:07Once I tell you it's your bird and not mine.
16:09Yeah, yeah.
16:09Who is he?
16:11Does the name Jared Kirilima mean anything to you?
16:13That's a Tiwi name, isn't it?
16:15That's right.
16:16Tiwi fella.
16:17Are you sure?
16:19How did you find this out?
16:21Cowboy's got his ways.
16:23Does he know anything about Taya?
16:28Is that it?
16:29Anything else?
16:30No.
16:30All right.
16:31All right.
16:31Good.
16:32Good.
16:32That's it.
16:33We're done.
16:33Enough of this quid pro quo bullshit.
16:35I'm going to give you some money.
16:36All right, ma'am.
16:37Deal's a deal.
16:39You still owe me a favour?
16:40How do you even function?
16:41You know what?
16:42Whatever.
16:45Jared Kiril...
16:46Stop doing that!
16:50I don't care that you've got a little boozy.
16:55I care that you keep saying I'm playing house.
16:57Who's playing?
16:58You both are.
16:59She's pretending to like it.
17:02And you're pretending this isn't what you've always dreamt of.
17:05Mum.
17:06On what a mother can't hear what her son isn't saying.
17:08A son who goes to all this effort, all this stress for a child that isn't even his.
17:15What if he had a child who was his?
17:16Mum, you know that's not an option for us.
17:18I still remember those two weeks when you sat on my couch sobbing because of what she had said to him.
17:24Mum, we've made a conscious choice to be a child-free couple.
17:28Yes, well, you've always gone along with whatever Lauren wants.
17:31What about what you want?
17:33This is what I want.
17:37Don't look at me like that.
17:39It's my job to look at you like that.
17:41How do I know the name Jared Kirilima?
17:44Uh, he was only the biggest hottie in high school, don't you remember?
17:47Good at footy, right? School captain?
17:49Yep.
17:50And then he pissed off back to the islands after schoolies.
17:52Why?
17:53Is he here?
17:54Oh, no, no.
17:55He's...
17:56Shut up!
17:58He's Taya's dad.
17:59Yes!
18:01Rennell!
18:02That's lovely.
18:04Lovely?
18:05The Kirilimas are a good family.
18:07I guess.
18:08And Taya deserves to be a part of that family, right?
18:11Of course.
18:12I mean, look.
18:15Ned is...
18:17How do I put this?
18:18I get it.
18:20You don't have to say it, sis.
18:22Ned's a good father figure, but...
18:23She's not his.
18:25She's ours.
18:26She's Jared's.
18:27Bob?
18:38Bob?
18:38Bob?
18:47Fair.
18:49Listen, Uncle Ned and I are sorry that your party was such a shit show.
18:52A big shit show?
18:54Yeah.
18:54A fucking shit show!
18:55Okay, that's enough.
18:58I never had birthday parties with Mum.
19:00She knew I never liked people looking at me.
19:04We're just used to.
19:06It doesn't matter.
19:08Tell me.
19:09On my birthday, we'd just drink a pool's ice coffee in Nightcliff at sunset.
19:16Dumb, I know.
19:17Your mum let you drink coffee?
19:19Only on my birthday she did, yeah.
19:21That's not dumb.
19:24That's deadly.
19:25See what happens when Mama stays out of here.
19:31Forgot to add pot, fam.
19:33You know what I'm thinking?
19:34What?
19:35You could be the dolly to my Kenny.
19:36Don't worry, darling.
19:37You'll be rid of me soon.
19:39I'll move my flight forward.
19:40You don't have to.
19:41I just don't want you to get your heart broken, that's all.
19:44I won't.
19:45You don't need to worry.
19:46We're good here.
19:47Honest.
19:47Sorry for not cleaning up.
19:48Thank you, thank you.
19:49Ned, you're coming with us.
19:50Quick!
19:51Uh, Trev.
19:53Bye, Ned.
19:54Oh, bye.
19:55You're shitting me.
19:56Can I take some of these home?
19:58Have what you bloody want.
19:59But make yourself useful, would ya?
20:02Greedy.
20:04Bye.
20:05Where are we going?
20:06It's a surprise.
20:07Oh, okay.
20:08Mm-hmm.
20:09Yep, you're right.
20:19We should have done this from the beginning.
20:21Maybe give us a heads up a little earlier next year?
20:23Oh, what have you done to me, bub?
20:25Gonna be addicted to Paul's iced coffee now.
20:27This is delicious.
20:30What's funny?
20:32You're just like my dad.
20:34Oh, really?
20:34What do you mean?
20:35That's the only thing Mum really ever told me about Dad,
20:38is that he loves Paul's iced coffee.
20:42Well, the bloke had good taste.
20:44He loves perfect at all.
20:49No doubt.
20:52He loves he loves it.
20:55No doubt.
