Short filmTranscript
00:08I've got to admit, I was a bit surprised to get your text, so I thought I wanted to schedule
00:11off.
00:12I just wanted to be honest with you, make sure there's no mixed signals.
00:15I just can't imagine being with anyone new right now.
00:18Of course.
00:18But now that that's all cleared up, I was hoping if you're willing to maybe still just be friends.
00:25Yeah, I'd like that.
00:26Dad warned Tane of having a relationship with me if it's why we were walking up in secret.
00:31Can you just say that again, Dad did what?
00:33His first instinct when he heard about the train crash was to look for her and to make sure that
00:38she was safe.
00:39He put his own life in danger to help her.
00:42Well, what can he do?
00:43Tell me about you and Tane, and I want the truth.
00:46I've been thinking and I think I need more support with the diner.
00:50What do you mean?
00:50I need to make some changes in my life.
00:52It's too painful for me to keep seeing you if I can't be with you.
00:55I know it's hard, but I'm not ready for anything else.
00:59That's why I'm just going to get out of the bay for a while.
01:02You can move back home, I won't be there.
01:04Where are you going?
01:05Cyprus.
01:05I'm going to go and visit Vijay.
01:14Hey!
01:16Have we looked at you?
01:17Don't you usually train down at the beach?
01:19Well, it depends on the conditions.
01:20Bit windy today.
01:21Why, you want to join in?
01:23Oh, no thanks.
01:24Um, I just thought you should know that Joe got out of hospital yesterday.
01:29Right.
01:30Well, that's great.
01:32Happy for him.
01:33Um, and there's also something else you should know.
01:35Oh look, I have to get started with work, sorry.
01:37Eddie's gone.
01:39What do you mean Eddie's gone?
01:40He's gone.
01:41Left town.
01:42Never to return.
01:43Engagement's off.
01:46Well, that's rough.
01:49Well, it was the right call.
01:52I'd better get on with things.
01:54Sure.
01:55Just wanted to keep you in the loop.
02:06There's nothing to tell.
02:08Tane and I went out a few times and then Eddie came back.
02:11Well, your sister seems to think it runs deeper than that.
02:13Lacey's entitled to her opinion.
02:15Dad, did you do any shopping while I was in the hospital?
02:17The cupboards are empty.
02:18Can we please have an honest conversation?
02:20I don't see the point.
02:23Tane and I are ancient history, which I'm sure you're very happy about.
02:28Why do you say that?
02:29Well, since we're being honest, I know you warned Tane off.
02:35Well, I had concerns about the guy.
02:39And I didn't want someone making your life more complicated.
02:42Well, that wasn't your call to make.
02:45I'm sorry, but when I saw Tane's criminal record, it didn't exactly paint the best picture.
02:51Where do you stand now?
02:53Well, Lacey's made it clear that your love life is not my jurisdiction.
02:57Can you just answer the question?
03:02If you want to pursue a future with Tane, I won't stand in your way.
03:09Oh, let's be real, Dad.
03:11Your opinion is not the obstacle here.
03:13Then what is?
03:15Me.
03:17And the way that I've messed him around.
03:21Nothing turns someone off like getting engaged to another guy.
03:27So you think it's done between you two?
03:30I don't want it to be.
03:38Ah!
03:39Ah!
03:39Marilyn!
03:40We don't see you in here very often.
03:41No, on my way to work.
03:42I just thought I'd pop in.
03:44Um, you're not going back home soon, are you?
03:47Should I be?
03:48No, it's just that Leah's there.
03:50She came to see Justin.
03:52Right.
03:52And what do you reckon?
03:53Were they sort of getting themselves sorted out?
03:56Ah, no.
03:57No, I wasn't getting that from them.
03:58Mm-hmm.
03:59And last night she was saying things like she wanted to make life changes
04:02and she needed more help at the diner.
04:04So, I'm a bit worried that she's had enough.
04:08Mm.
04:08I was hoping they'd get their act together by now.
04:11Yeah, me too.
04:12I just thought I should let you know.
04:13Yeah, well, thanks, love.
04:14Um, I'll sort this stuff out and get home and see how they're going.
04:19Oh!
04:20A parcel came in for you before I put it behind the desk.
04:22Cool.
04:23I'll let Marley know.
04:25No, no, no.
04:25It's not for Marley.
04:26It was addressed to you.
04:27Me?
04:28Yeah.

14:15So right.
14:16Jo?
14:17Mm, what?
14:18You have a visitor.
14:21Oh, why not? Come on.
14:23Rom-coms, eh?
14:24I've got 150 pounds.
14:27Hi.
14:28Hey.
14:28Hi, I'm sorry, I wasn't expecting anyone.
14:31Excuse me, have you ever heard of a text message?
14:34Look at me, I just got out of hospital.
14:35Tani doesn't care how you look.
14:36Yeah, but I do.
14:37How could you be so smart and so clueless?
14:40I think you look great, by the way.
14:41See?
14:42It's good to see you up on your feet.
14:44Well, I'll, uh, I'll leave you to it.
14:47Thanks, mate.
14:49So, um, I heard you and Eddie broke up.
14:54I'm sorry.
14:56Yeah.
14:58Would you like to go for a walk and catch up?
15:02Yeah, I do.
15:04Just not in my pyjamas.
15:06It's a romantic.
15:08Yeah.
15:10Righto.
15:11There'll be no interrupting each other, okay?
15:13You'll both get a chance to speak.
15:15Oh, and another thing.
15:16Stick to the facts.
15:18I don't want to see either of you slinging mud.
15:21You got it?
15:25Righto.
15:25Who wants to go first?
15:29Justin, can.
15:29Oh, you can.
15:30What if I don't want to?
15:32Justin, why don't you tell Leah why you said that you didn't want to be in the marriage anymore?
15:40I was upset.
15:43We're supposed to be a team in the moment there's any trouble.
15:46You up and run.
15:47Trouble?
15:48My nephew died.
15:50Let him finish.
15:50Yeah, he did.
15:52And you ran to someone else.
15:55How was I supposed to feel?
15:59Leah?
16:02I don't like when he unfairly shifts the goalpost.
16:05I'm right here.
16:06Mate, mate.
16:07He asks me to lean on him, and when I do, he pushes me away.
16:11No, that's not what happens.
16:12Isn't it?
16:12You ask for space.
16:14When I try and give it to you, you won't let me leave.
16:16She's unfairly shifting things around.
16:18I don't know what you want from me.
16:20I don't either.
16:21Righto, time out.
16:23Let's all just have a breather, eh?
16:30I won.
16:31It was three games to do.
16:32No, no, no, no, no.
16:33It was a draw.
16:34Two all.
16:34The first game was a warm-up.
16:36Who plays a warm-up game?
16:39Okay.
16:40Okay, I'll let you have this one.
16:41But next time I'm playing basketball.
16:42Next time?
16:43Yep.
16:43You'll be lucky.
16:45You not only mean as mates, right?
16:47You know, who doesn't need more friends?
16:49Especially since we've just lost people.
16:52Yeah, true.
16:53That's why I brought you the drinks.
16:55I just wanted to cheer you up.
16:58It did cheer me up.
16:59But don't be surprised if I whip your butt next time.
17:02No chance.
17:03If you bothered to check my socials, you would have seen all my basketball trophies.
17:07Grand final winners, three years running.
17:09I will do that.
17:10I like to check my facts.
17:12Should we get a photo?
17:14Yeah.
17:17Small.
17:22Sorry about that.
17:23Uh...
17:24Since losing Isaac, I made a promise to myself to always keep memories of the good times.
17:31Hanging out with you has just been so great.
17:34Yeah.
17:36It's been nice.
17:37But I should probably get back to my sister now.
17:40Now.
17:41Uh, have you got time to get something to eat?
17:42Uh, no.
17:43Sorry.
17:44I've already been way longer than I said.
17:48Can you text her?
17:50We'll only be another half hour or so.
17:52I need to go.
17:53Yeah.
17:54But I'll...
17:55I'll see you again, right?
17:56Yeah.
17:57Sure.
18:14I don't even know why we're doing this.
18:16We're just going around in circles.
18:18It's exhausting.
18:18Well, now that we've got all the cards on the table, we can start looking for solutions.
18:23Unlike some people else actually trying to save this marriage.
18:25Mate, was that really necessary?
18:27Well...
18:27You're the one who said you didn't want to be in the marriage in the first place.
18:30Okay, I said something I shouldn't have.
18:34But you've been acting like you didn't want to be a part of this marriage for months.
18:37Oh, yo, yo.
18:38In fact, in fact, I reckon you've been waiting for me to say it so you can use it as
18:41an excuse
18:42to run.
18:43That's not true.
18:44Okay, hey, just pull your head in.
18:45If you'd have come to the grief counsellor like I asked you, none of this would be happening.
18:50If you'd listened to your grief counsellor in the first place, you know that I wasn't
18:53thinking straight after Theo died.
18:55Instead, you're using it against me like I'm an evil person or something.
18:58Leah.
18:58Leah.
18:59There she goes.
19:00Good on you.
19:01As soon as there's trouble.
19:03Ups and runs.
19:13Tell me if you need a break.
19:15No, this is great.
19:16I've spent so much time laying around lately.
19:19Well, you've had a good excuse.
19:23You know, your dad really surprised me earlier.
19:25I bet he did.
19:27Your sister's been on my case too.
19:29Okay, I officially come from the most embarrassing family in the world.
19:33So sorry if they put pressure on you.
19:36I expected it from my sister, not from my dad.
19:39They care about you.
19:41But what I want to know is...
19:44How you feel.
19:47With something good going.
19:49Then.
19:52I'm sorry.
19:52After you showed up, I just...
19:55I was confused.
19:59I'm so sorry for knocking you around.
20:02I chose the wrong guy.
20:19Oh, it was a waste of time.
20:21Leah just can't accept that her actions are what caused all of this, and I'm over it.
20:26The ball's in her court now.
20:28She wants to fix this.
20:29She can come to me.
20:30I'm just going to sit here and chill.
20:32No, mate.
20:33No, you're not.
20:34Hey.
20:35The only reason you and Leah can behave like this is because you've got a revolving door here.
20:40Well, that ends now.
20:41You said I could stay as long as I need.
20:43I changed my mind.
20:44Mate, come on.
20:44I'm fair dinkum, Justin.
20:46Pack your bags, go home and sort out your marriage.
20:49Consider this an eviction notice.
20:59This is nice.
21:01What is?
21:02Yes, in public.
21:04Oh, um, we, um, will you be home for dinner?
21:09Probably not.
21:11Look at that.
21:12Uh, a red wine and beer, please.
21:14No way.
21:15Not until you tell me what's going on.
21:16Can I do anything to help?
21:17Nothing.
21:17Absolutely nothing.
21:18I am cooking for my girlfriend.
21:20She doesn't need to lift the finger.
21:22Your girlfriend.
21:24Is that a problem?
21:25No.
21:25No.
21:27Not until you're listening to me so far.
21:27Go.
