00:00Arthur?
00:23Arthur, where are you?
00:28Arthur?
00:34Arthur? Are you okay?
00:37Of course. Why?
00:39Well, Gardney, it's not like you.
00:42Thanks, Mum.
00:45Mum?
00:58What?
01:00What are you doing?
01:02What?
01:03I said, what are you doing?
01:07Well, I'm looking through a bin.
01:09Yeah, why?
01:10What?
01:11I said, why are you looking through the bin?
01:13So, Arthur, keep your voice down.
01:15I think one of the neighbours is putting stuff in our bin.
01:18You know, there must be some evolutionary reason
01:20why the older a person gets, the more obsessed they become
01:22with their wheelie bin.
01:23Arthur, speak up.
01:25I said, I'll keep a look out for anything suspicious.
01:28Now, Mum, it's too hot to be rummaging through the garbage
01:31like a raccoon.
01:32What did you want?
01:33Oh, yes.
01:35There's this show I've seen advertisements for.
01:38Nurses of War.
01:39And it's got that actress.
01:40Oh, what's her name?
01:41She's great.
01:42They're in that place.
01:44Nurses of War.
01:45You're talking about Nurses of War.
01:46And it's about nurses.
01:47Who are in the war.
01:48Mum, look at me.
01:50It's Nurses of War.
01:53That's it.
01:55Nurses of War.
01:56Great.
01:57Now I've got work to do.
01:58Arthur, how do I watch it?
02:00With your eyes.
02:02Now, seriously, I've got deadlines.
02:04No, you know what I mean.
02:05I mean, what do I watch it on?
02:07A screen?
02:08Arthur, boy, don't be so smart.
02:11You know what I mean.
02:12I mean, you know, the thing.
02:15Oh, yeah, silly me.
02:17The thing.
02:18Is what we were talking about the whole time.
02:20I'll just go and magic up the thing.
02:23And then I've got work to do, okay?
02:25Oh, Arthur.
02:27Video games aren't work.
02:38Ah, there you go, Mum.
02:41All the horrors of Normandy right from the comfort of your own bed.
02:46Where are you going?
02:49I thought we could watch this together.
02:51Sorry, am I on a prank show or something?
02:53I literally just said that I have work to do.
02:56Oh.
02:57Well, give my love to your internet family.
03:00You certainly see a lot more of them than your own mother.
03:03The widow.
03:05Enjoy Nurses of War, Mum.
03:08Feel free to enjoy all eight seasons back to back.
03:11Twice.
03:12You do your clickety-clack work.
03:14You won't hear a peep out of me.
03:16You do your clickety-clack work.
03:19You won't hear a peep out of me.
03:53Mum?
03:54Look, Arthur.
03:55Nurses of War is on the TV, too.
03:56Mum?
03:57What are you doing?
03:58You're supposed to be watching this in your bedroom.
03:59I couldn't hear anything on that tiny little pill.
04:00You mean the tablet?
04:01The what?
04:02Mum?
04:03Mum...
04:04Look, Arthur!
04:05Nurses of War is on the TV, too!
04:07Mum?
04:08What are you doing?
04:09You're supposed to be watching this in your bedroom!
04:23I couldn't hear anything on that tiny little pill.
04:26You mean the tablet?
04:27The what?
04:28Mum, it's too loud.
04:29The neighbours will think we're bikies!
04:30They'll think we're what?
04:32Sleep up, Arthur.
04:33Arthur, you're as bad as the people on the TV.
04:35OK.
04:37Mum, it's too loud.
04:39Well, don't blame me.
04:40Blame the people who do the sound for these things.
04:43I can't hear the people speaking.
04:45It's like a Charlie Chaplin film with gunfire.
04:50I'm just going to try something.
04:54When Robbie and I had our infamous window smash party,
04:57I was the one who vomited all the cheese twisties on your bed.
05:00Nice fashion show, Arthur,
05:04but you don't really need the pirouette.
05:06You didn't hear anything I just said?
05:08You didn't say anything.
05:13Mum, it's a little bit hard for me to say,
05:17but I think you're losing your hearing.
05:22My hearing? Quick, scan the ground.
05:25Must be here somewhere.
05:30It's that TV, Arthur.
05:35How can any sound come out of such tiny speakers?
05:39Mum, an IMAX screen wouldn't stop the fact
05:41that you're losing your hearing, OK?
05:43There is nothing wrong with my hearing, Arthur.
05:46Your articulation, on the other hand.
05:49My mother always said you've got to mind your P's and Q's,
05:53but you, you've got to find your P's and Q's.
05:57Oh, I'll find some F's and C's
05:59if I keep having to repeat myself a million times a day.
06:01What?
06:02I said you need to get a hearing test.
06:04Oh, well, if you think I'm going to let some stranger
06:07poke and prod at my oral cavities,
06:10you've got another thing coming.
06:11Mum, no-one's poking or prodding.
06:13It's just a free test.
06:14Oh, nothing in life is free, Arthur.
06:17Especially not a poke or a prod.
06:19Arthur, I've got more vapes.
06:22Do you know that, man?
06:24No, I think he's saying after, as in afternoon.
06:27Afternoon to you too, bro.
06:29No, Arthur, come.
06:30I've got strawberry lemonade.
06:32Your favourite.
06:33Oh, thank you.
06:35But I'm watching my calories, yeah, so anyways.
06:39Arthur, he's got strawberry lemonade.
06:42Let's go and get some.
06:43Oh, not today, Mum.
06:45Yes, it's hot today.
06:46No, Mum, I said not.
06:48Not today, not hot today, not.
06:50Not hot.
06:51You're sounding like a Dr. Seuss book, Arthur.
06:53I'm going to go look at new TV.
06:55We're getting a hearing test.
06:59Oh, are we?
07:03All right, fine.
07:04If it'll make you feel any better, I'll do it first.
07:06Deal?
07:08Deal.
07:10Oh, my God.
07:14Bring this here.
07:25It's the nicotine.
07:28Sorry?
07:29What damages the neurotransmitters to communicate with your brain?
07:32Oh, I don't smoke.
07:34I just...
07:35I don't know why I ticked it like that.
07:36I just, you know, my hand wobbled.
07:38Smoker's tremors.
07:39It's very common with nicotine addiction.
07:41Oh, I'm not addicted.
07:42I hope you're buying from a pharmacy,
07:44because the vapes you get off the street,
07:46they'll blow up in your face.
07:47I'll keep that in mind.
07:49What devil of hearing loss are you experiencing?
07:53Sorry?
07:55Ah, you have to look at people's mouths
07:57to make out what they're saying?
07:58Not usually, no.
08:05Beg your pardon?
08:06You didn't hear what I said?
08:07Ah, it's just you're talking very, very softly.
08:10Ah, yes.
08:12A lot of people come in here with that problem.
08:14Step this way.
08:16I'll test you now.
08:19After the green light,
08:20put up your hand when you hear the bing-bong tone.
08:22Bing-bong.
08:23Bing-bong.
08:24Got it.
08:41You only heard the last bing-bong?
08:43There was only one bing-bong.
08:45I did also hear the blender from the smoothie shop next door.
08:47There were seven bing-bongs.
08:49One bing.
08:50One bong.
08:51It went...
08:52Bing-bong.
08:53Bing-bong.
08:54Bing-bong.
08:55Bing-bong.
08:56Yeah, just...
08:57Do it again.
08:58Couldn't she hear anything?
08:59You didn't press anything!
09:00Relax, Mr. Boy.
09:01It can be very confronting when you realise you have hearing loss.
09:05I don't have hearing loss! I'm not even supposed to be here!
09:07Raising your voice is one of the earliest signs of hearing loss, Mr. Boy.
09:11I'm sorry if this is confronting.
09:12But...
09:13You're literally just moving your lips right now!
09:18It's an absolute rot, Mum! How can I fail a hearing test? My hearing is perfectly fine!
09:20I'm not even supposed to be here!
09:21Raising your voice is one of the earliest signs of hearing loss, Mr. Boy.
09:25I'm sorry if this is confronting.
09:27But...
09:28You're literally just moving your lips right now!
09:33It's an absolute rot, Mum! How can I fail a hearing test? My hearing is perfectly fine!
09:48So when I say I don't have any hearing loss, oh, I'm delusional. But when you get diagnosed
09:55by a medical professional, oh, it's a rot!
09:58$6,000 for hearing aids. A minimum of two sets. How many ears do they think I have?
10:04We should get cameras for our bins. Then we could watch it on our new big TV screen
10:11like security guards at a shopping centre.
10:14You're not getting a bigger TV, Mum!
10:17Look at this. $300 for the charger or $400 per service. That's more than I pay for the car.
10:23These people are frauds! There's nothing wrong with my ears.
10:26Oh! Then, in that case...
10:32You may need your grandpa's ear trumpet, since you don't want to wear hearing aids.
10:37Not funny, Mum. You're the one with hearing loss. And as soon as I find someone trustworthy
10:43to do the test, I'll prove it.
10:45Your what?
10:47I said I'll prove it!
10:49Oh, yuck! Oh, Arthur. That thing probably still has your grandpa's ear wax on it.
10:57You know, it was quite salty.
11:05You're quitting?
11:06No more strawberry lemonade. And no more nothing.
11:09Brother, I tried telling you the other day. You shoot me like flies.
11:12Well, I was with my mum.
11:14I get it.
11:15You're ashamed of me.
11:16Hey!
11:17I'm ashamed of me, Johnny.
11:19Mum caught me smoking in year 10 and said if she ever caught me again, she'd die of disappointment.
11:23And here's the thing.
11:24I believe her, Johnny. I believe her.
11:26Well, things are hard for me too, Arthur.
11:28I've got a nosy neighbour.
11:30They keep calling the cops on me for domestic supply, trying to shut me down.
11:33Mate, they're talking jail, million dollar fines. I can't afford to serve time. My dad would kill me.
11:38Well, what am I supposed to do?
11:39My life is very stressful at the moment. I need those strawberry kisses.
11:43Brother, I'm sorry. I can't risk it.
11:48This is the last of it. After this, no more.
11:56How much?
11:57What?
11:58For all the strawberry lemonades, how much?
12:01Arthur.
12:02We've got pamphlets to help battle addiction, mate.
12:04Yeah, I'm not addicted.
12:05I just want all your strawberry lemonades right now. How much?
12:13That's reasonable.
12:16You're a good man, Arthur.
12:19Wait, wait, wait, wait.
12:24So the neighbours don't see?
12:26Thanks, Johnny.
12:27And hey, I'm not ashamed of you. I'm proud of you, brother.
12:36Did you just buy all the strawberry lemonades?
12:39Oh, I mean, my living situation is very stressful.
12:43Hey, everyone. Look at this hero right here. Buying every single vape off the market.
12:48He's probably going to start short-term renting his vapes to desperately under-vaped communities.
12:53Sorry, truly.
12:55How do you sleep at night, huh?
12:56I don't. Okay? My mum is too loud.
12:58My mum is too loud.
13:08Ta-da!
13:11What the hell is this?
13:12This is what happens when you have at least one child who actually loves you.
13:19Oh, this whole thing. Just a little something-something to show Mama Bee how much I care.
13:23There's nothing lil about it. Those speakers are like skyscrapers.
13:27Oh, it even came with one of those doll boxes.
13:31She means a subwoofer.
13:33Mum, we have to take this back.
13:34And I suppose if it was up to you, you'd box me up with it and take me to the factory.
13:40We do not need a bigger TV, Mum.
13:43What we need is to be honest with ourselves.
13:47Tell Robbie what's going on.
13:49Mum, what's going on?
13:53Well, I've been noticing some changes recently,
13:58and I didn't want to say anything until we could get an official diagnosis, but...
14:02Arthur is going deaf.
14:07No! I am not going deaf!
14:11Denal is the first stage of acceptance.
14:13It's Mum. Mum is losing her hearing, and I'm worried about her.
14:17Arthur, I know some audiologists who can make this test go away.
14:20I don't need the test to go away! I need her to go away!
14:23Oh! I could hear that loud and clear!
14:26Now, here's the payment plan for the new TV.
14:28No deposit, 36-month, interest-free.
14:29Oh, and ignore what they said about the 200,000 frequent flyer points.
14:33They said they couldn't process it for some weird reason.
14:36But anyway, Arthur...
14:38Can we have a minute, Roberta?
14:40Yeah.
14:42It's me!
14:44Into the beach!
14:46I know what you're doing, Robbie.
14:48You're trying to make me illegally insane so you can claim my portion of the house when Mum dies.
14:51Arthur, I don't know why you're being so weird about this.
14:54The old lady wants a bigger TV. Give her a bigger TV!
14:57Yeah? And what do you get out of it?
14:59That warm, fuzzy feeling from doing a good deed!
15:01Okay, also, Liz and the kids are obsessed with Nurses of War, so I figured they can watch the episodes with Mum every week while I get a little bit of me-time.
15:10Your whole life is me-time, Robbie. You're like an opera singer. Me-me-me-me-me-me-me-me-me!
15:14Opera?
15:16Oh, it's gonna feel like The Sopranos if you don't watch your mouth.
15:20Every day I'm fighting for my freedom. Every day it's a losing battle.
15:23It's like Liz and I gave birth to two precious little torture devices who will not stop until one of us is dead!
15:28I'm the one dying, Robbie! Mum is in complete denial and is driving me crazy!
15:33I'm irritable, I'm anxious, I can't focus, I can't get any work done!
15:36Okay, and have you tried to quit?
15:39What?
15:41Just say it, brother. You're vaping.
15:42As if.
15:45You shouldn't lie to a doctor.
15:47I'm not lying.
15:49Random charging cables, crusty tongue, wafts of fruitcake, and you started wearing hoodies on 30-degree days. For God's sake, face it, you're addicted.
15:57I'm not addicted! I haven't vaped this whole conversation.
16:00And you think Mum's in denial? Sounds like someone's in need of a wake-up call.
16:06A wake-up call? Well, I can arrange that.
16:09I found my letter on this one.
16:15I found you.
16:16I found her letter on this one.
16:18You know so Jesus?
16:19Morning, Mum!
16:21Close your eyes, yeah.
16:22I lost her call number in front of me.
16:24Ares you. Ares you. Ares you. Ares you. Ares you. Ares it. Ares you. Ares you. Ares you. Ares you. Ares you. Ares you. Ares you.
16:28Yes, hello.
16:34Is that Harvey Street Police Station?
16:37I'd like to make a noise complaint.
16:45Ow.
16:47Nurses, we didn't ask for this war.
16:50We shot it so it didn't start it.
16:52We are not the one who's got the one who is.
16:55Are you OK, Arthur?
16:56I can see you pacing in the reflection of the TV.
17:00Yeah, no, I just really want to know
17:02whether it's Captain Mikulof's baby.
17:06Oh, and you'll keep an eye out for those Ben stuffers too, won't you?
17:11Yeah. Yes, definitely.
17:13You know, can't trust those nosy neighbours.
17:16Anyway, now turn it up, Mum.
17:18Let's hear what these new speakers have got.
17:20I want us to send it out.
17:22Hey, Mum.
17:33I think there's someone here to see you.
17:37Hi.
17:38What the hell are you guys doing here?
17:40True master of the warm welcome, Arthur.
17:42Good to see you too.
17:43My favourite people.
17:45Do we have some snacks for our boys?
17:47If you can find it, you can eat it.
17:50No, no.
17:51Are you guys just dropping by to say a quick hello or...?
17:54No, the kids were desperate to see how big the new TV was
17:57and I have been loving NO dubs,
18:00which is what the girls at work call nurses of war,
18:02so Maggie invited us over for a little impromptu viewing party.
18:05Which she neglected to mention to me.
18:09Hooray!
18:10Up!
18:11And I have brought the vegetable straws,
18:13so let's get this party started, huh?
18:15There we go.
18:17Oh, that's...
18:18Oh, we're going to need a hell of a...
18:23Oh!
18:25Oh!
18:25I have to leave my banquet.
18:27It's...
18:27It's sublime sound.
18:29Maggie, you can almost taste it.
18:32It's a...
18:34Are you...
18:34Are you earmuffs?
18:36Are they working?
18:38A bit jittery, baby bro.
18:40These vapes got a hold on you.
18:42I just wasn't expecting you guys, that's all.
18:44And I'm not addicted.
18:46But I can't help but notice that every single character in this show keeps smoking.
18:50It was the 50s, Arthur.
18:51It was healthy back then.
18:52Oh, God.
18:53Look, even that baby is smoking.
18:54That's a thermometer.
18:56Oh.
18:57Anyway, gotta get going.
18:59And join my family.
18:59If you need to contact me, don't.
19:04Look at that baby.
19:05Oh, I'll...
19:06I'll check.
19:08Probably one of those pesky local candidates running for the council election.
19:12I'll just tell them I'm a sovereign citizen.
19:14They will be on their way.
19:18Oh, gosh.
19:20The police.
19:21I totally didn't expect this.
19:23What seems to be the problem, officer?
19:25I've received a call-out for this address.
19:27Let me guess.
19:28Noise complaint.
19:28Yeah, yeah, well, I'm sure whoever called in has a, uh, pure heart and wouldn't want
19:34to embarrass the whole family that's now turned up, but just wanted to prove a point.
19:39Well, message received.
19:41Good job, officer.
19:42I'll let you get on your way.
19:43Sir, please step outside.
19:45Arthur, who is it?
19:46Oh, it's...
19:47No.
19:47Oh, hello, officer.
19:49For the record, I have a prescription for all of it.
19:51Isn't it nothing, Ruffy?
19:52It's just a small noise complaint.
19:53A noise complaint?
19:54Well, actually...
19:55Who made the complaint?
19:56Because they can check these microphones.
19:57One, two.
19:58One, two.
19:58That's not helping.
19:59What's with all the chitter-chatter?
20:00Are you going to watch this episode, or officer, to what do we owe this pleasure?
20:04Apparently there's been a noise complaint.
20:05At 4pm?
20:06Who made it?
20:07Owls?
20:07Not quite.
20:08Well, I should make you aware, officer, that you are speaking to a lawyer right now.
20:12Conveyancing law.
20:13Huh?
20:13What's...
20:14I'm not here for a noise complaint.
20:16What are you here for?
20:19Officer, thank God you're here.
20:22Come inside.
20:23I'll just go and get it.
20:28Here it is.
20:30All the evidence.
20:32Evidence?
20:32What evidence?
20:33Well, what is that?
20:34It's all the rubbish our neighbour has been dumping in our bin.
20:38I see a new one of those at least every few days.
20:42Maggie, those are vape.
20:43Oh, they're illegal vapes, Liz.
20:46Huh?
20:46Strawberry lemonade.
20:48I googled it.
20:49They're all counterfeit.
20:50Well, I mean, it's probably just some otherwise respectable taxpayer who has a moderate but very controllable habit.
20:58This quantity?
20:58No way.
21:00No say an individual could cut through this.
21:03Whoever's dubbing these is likely running a small-scale supply operation.
21:07Know anything about this one?
21:10Me?
21:10Oh, God, no.
21:12I mean, I barely know what a vape looks like, let alone anything about supplies.
21:17There he is.
21:18That's that guy with all the vapes.
21:20Officer, look him up!
21:22He's the only one in town with all the strawberry lemonades.
21:25How about you stop controlling the vape market and leave some for the rest of us, you dog!
21:35That's a bizarre coincidence.
21:40Uncle Arthur, can I have one of these lollies?
21:42Oh, Keela, no!
21:43Oh, my God!
21:44Oh, my God!
21:47Arthur!
21:49What?
21:49Is this candy?
21:50No!
21:51Oh, my God!
21:52No!
21:53No!
21:53Oh!
21:54Oh, I will be billing you for rehab!
21:56Oh, Arthur, what is going on?
21:59Yes, Arthur, what's going on?
22:01I vape.
22:08Okay, I'm a big old dirty vapour boy.
22:10But I'm no supplier, alright?
22:12I just do it with friends.
22:17I consider myself a friend.
22:21I'm addicted to vaping.
22:24But I only do it when I'm stressed,
22:25and right now I'm stressed all the time.
22:27I worry about you, Mum.
22:29Hearing loss is one of the biggest contributors
22:31to cognitive decline,
22:32and I just, I want you to take it seriously.
22:37Arthur, you're smoking.
22:40Well, I mean, it's not technically smoking
22:41if it's digital.
22:43No, Arthur, you're literally smoking.
22:45Oh, my God.
22:46Oh, my God.
22:47Oh, it's a stupid vape.
22:48It keeps firing off by itself.
22:55Stand back! It's going black!
22:58Nurses of war!
23:00Everyone take cover!
23:01We're at once!
23:15Is everyone okay?
23:18We're fine, Mum.
23:20Are you okay?
23:21Well, I haven't died yet.
23:28I'm sorry I disappointed you, Mum.
23:30What?
23:31I said, I'm sorry I disappointed you.
23:33Oh, please, Arthur, speak up.
23:35You're mumbling.
23:37I said, I'm sorry I disappointed you!
23:40It's that explosion.
23:41I think it's affected my hearing.
23:43I might have to have a test.
23:46Thanks, Mark.
23:52Anytime, Maggie.
23:55Yeah.
23:56Yeah.
23:57I'm just so glad your sister was able to organise a good audiologist.
24:13And after all that, can you believe it was just a build-up of earwax?
24:17Well, I'm just relieved we were able to return that completely ridiculous TV and sound system
24:22before the trial period ended.
24:24I hope Robbie didn't try to book any flights.
24:27Hey, speaking of which, now that your hearing's a bit better, Mum, do you want to watch something
24:31on the boring old TV?
24:32Or maybe you want to listen to some music or call a friend?
24:36Oh, I think I'm just going to read a book, Arthur.
24:45Of course.
24:46Do you have to smash those keys so loud, Arthur?
25:15Arthur, some of us are trying to get some peace and quiet.
25:26Hello, Maggie's Marina, your dreamboat speaking.
25:29Oh, my God, please don't tell me you've got an OnlyFans.
25:32It's a trashy...
25:33What's in Turkey, Yang?
25:34Istanbul.
25:35Turkish Airlines.
25:36Carefactor?
25:37Shut up!
25:38Have you got any cash?
25:40Oh, it's 573.
25:42God, stranger danger.
25:43You remind me of my mother.
25:46Wonderful lady.
25:47Quit, Arthur, we have to save Mum!
25:49You know, I prefer to win bank robbers for balaclavas.
25:51Mum!
25:52Mum, are you okay?
25:53Well, well, well.
25:54Is that Arthur or Drake?
25:56Everybody wants someone to stay.
26:06Everybody wants someone to stay.
26:11Everybody wants someone to stay.
