00:01Good luck finding anyone else who can deal with the great Margie Argyle.
00:04What do you think of theatre, Julia?
00:05Don't we all just watch Netflix now?
00:09Everyone, this is our new CEO, Julia McNamara.
00:12The Argyle is having a few tiny financial issues.
00:14This place is a disaster.
00:16Bring out your invoices!
00:18And when I do iron out these tiny financial issues, I get my job back.
00:21And Ryan does too.
00:22Are you even going to apologise?
00:23Oh, sorry for committing fraud.
00:25You know what you should do?
00:27Something Greece themed.
00:27What about a sexy Sandy?
00:29We're just going to sneak a new play into the program.
00:32Our major production this season,
00:35Let's ease on and wait for the internet.
00:37It's supposed to be Greece.
00:448, 8, 9, 8, 8, 9, 8, 8, 9, 8, 9, 8, 8, 8, 9, 8.
00:49Ha, ha, ha.
01:15Good morning.
01:17Oh, here we go.
01:19Wow.
01:20Looking good.
01:23That's too much.
01:24Good luck.
01:25Okay.
01:26And...
01:26No.
01:28Yeah.
01:28Hey!
01:31I'm sensing a bit of tension.
01:32Are you angry with me?
01:33Oh, what do you think?
01:34You look fantastic in that Greece costume.
01:36Do you get any nice comments?
01:37Well, someone near beauty school dropped out from a car as I was leaving.
01:40So I guess I have you to thank for that.
01:42It's not personal.
01:43Alright?
01:43I have to stand up for my art.
01:45Is it art or plays starring you?
01:47Well, that's what the public wants.
01:48Speaking of, I've just got a little budget here for
01:50Les Paisons et Moitié Entrez.
01:52Yeah, there you go.
01:53Sorry, I don't speak whatever that was.
01:54That was French.
01:55And if I could just grab a little signature just from you.
01:58Thank you so much.
01:59Is this the peasant show you shouldn't have announced at the launch?
02:00I'm not signing off on that.
02:01You did not have board approval.
02:03Okay.
02:03How do I say this?
02:04With such respect, you have no idea about theatre.
02:09Why don't you try and sell me this play in one sentence?
02:13Okay.
02:13It's an 18th century French masterpiece where I'm buried up to my neck in sand
02:17for four hours on stage delivering a single monologue,
02:19only to be interrupted twice by the ghost of my dead child.
02:22Is that it?
02:23Yeah.
02:24Ah.
02:25Not approved.
02:26What did I say?
02:27Monologue, for a start.
02:28When in real life do people talk uninterrupted for hours on end?
02:31Happens to me a bit.
02:32I think we're done for now, Marguerite.
02:35Okay.
02:36You know what?
02:37I see what's going on here.
02:38Yeah.
02:39You haven't loved in many years.
02:41If only you could touch that sorrow.
02:43You know, and then bang!
02:44Life will come in!
02:46Do you know, is there a version of the play where they bury you in sand
02:48just above the mouth?
02:49Because I would sign off on that.
02:51What?
02:52A hundred percent.
02:53Why are there always egg people walking around here?
02:56Morning Simone!
02:57Simone?
03:00Ryan, did you get the email I sent you about the Pulse 54 program?
03:03That's Scott Guy.
03:04You're so obsessed.
03:06I'm not obsessed with him.
03:07Don't say that.
03:07That's silly.
03:08You are.
03:08You know he's like a cult leader basically.
03:10He's not a cult leader.
03:11He's a gymfluencer.
03:12And I've signed you up for the 6am Saturday program.
03:146am?
03:15No, that's it.
03:16I'm coming down there for a big row.
03:17Ryan, I'm at work.
03:19Ryan!
03:20Oh, don't come down here.
03:22Oh, it doesn't matter.
03:23I'll never find the place.
03:24Yeah, you need a fish extract.
03:27I just use the Nivea from the IGA.
03:29It's quite scaly, isn't it?
03:30Is it?
03:31What do you mean?
03:31It explains the dandruff as well.
03:34No, I don't think that's dandruff.
03:36I think that's dust.
03:37That's skin-coloured dust.
03:38What?
03:38I just finished this, but if it doesn't work,
03:40I just keep making them till we get it right.
03:41What's your artistic rationale with this week?
03:44The peasant's hair becomes a symbol of the freedom.
03:46I fucking love that.
03:48Me too.
03:50Morning.
03:51Hi.
03:52Good morning.
03:53Everyone's here.
03:53We can kick it off.
03:54Fantastic.
03:55Good morning, everybody.
03:56What are you doing?
03:57What are you doing?
03:58I always start the meetings.
04:00So, thanks.
04:01Julie is first on the agenda.
04:02What agenda?
04:03We have an agenda now.
04:04All items emailed to Christian by 9am.
04:06Systems and processes.
04:07People, you can take a seat, Marguerite.
04:09All right.
04:10Well, I'll be straight with everyone.
04:12This organisation is not financially viable.
04:14Oh.
04:15So, not going to acknowledge country or anything?
04:17No, please.
04:17It's time for a major strategic review.
04:20Does anyone know the most expensive part of any corporation?
04:23Anyone?
04:24Who cares?
04:25I got this.
04:26The internet.
04:27I think so.
04:28It's the staff.
04:29The staff.
04:30That means you.
04:31So, I need to determine job scope and look for opportunities for cuts.
04:35That's why Christian will assist me in conducting performance reviews with each of you starting
04:39today.
04:40Oh, but we're not performers.
04:41I would never dream of going on stage.
04:43Yeah.
04:44How is the performance stage?
04:45That's a really interesting question.
04:46No.
04:47What scene will I do?
04:48It's not a literal performance.
04:49Am I out the front on the stage?
04:50Is there a text?
04:51Is it a one woman?
04:52It's not a ritual performance.
04:53It's a review of your performance at work.
04:56Oh.
04:57Okay.
04:57I've actually been trying to implement HR strategies for years.
05:00Have you?
05:00Well, I've never heard you mention it.
05:02Wow.
05:02You know what?
05:02You should speak more from the diaphragm.
05:04Your words seem to dissipate into the air.
05:06People.
05:07We need to start thinking like a business.
05:10There will be redundancies.
05:12You will not be cutting my staff.
05:14Okay?
05:14Over my dead body.
05:15What's next on the agenda, Christian?
05:17A bit of good news, actually.
05:19Margie's new work, Scrambled, is upon us.
05:21Woo!
05:22There runs.
05:23There runs inside.
05:24Woo!
05:24Oh, is this the egg people thing?
05:27I don't know.
05:27Is that a...
05:28What do you call it?
05:29A play, is it?
05:29Devised work.
05:30I devised it.
05:31From source material.
05:33Okay, previews start tonight, and there's an exciting photo shoot beforehand.
05:37Yes, Donna and I have four hours to prep half a dozen eggs.
05:40Okay, well I guess we've got to make sure they're at room temperature.
05:43The eggs need to be at room temperature.
05:46Okay, performance reviews start today.
05:48Check your diaries.
05:49Christian, when you're ready.
05:50Christian, when you're ready.
05:52Sorry.
05:52Christian, when you're...
05:54Off he goes.
05:56It's about 20 minutes, but to be honest with you, it is the de-egging that's the hard part.
06:00Yeah, I can see that.
06:01They look absolutely stunning, by the way.
06:02It's brilliant.
06:04Alright, so now we've got half a dozen eggs prepped, but they have to de-egg and then re-egg
06:08for tonight.
06:08We are going to have to move with like military precision.
06:11Yes.
06:11Oh.
06:12Sorry, sorry.
06:13Um, Simone, yeah.
06:15Um, hi.
06:16Um, did you just go to the bathroom egg, doll?
06:18Yeah.
06:18So please don't do that, because like what happens if you slip in your egg cracks?
06:22I don't have giant fucking chickens out the back!
06:26Okay, everyone, there's limited eggs.
06:27We've got an egg shortage, so let's be careful and mindful.
06:30Take a minute.
06:31No, take a minute.
06:32Yes.
06:33God's sake.
06:35Right, let's get back to rehearsal, please.
06:36One of you is rotten.
06:38How are we going to embody that?
06:39Has anyone got an offer?
06:41Margie up first.
06:42Yep, big kahuna.
06:44Brave.
06:45I'm not scared of it.
06:47Really?
06:48Margie, performance review.
06:50Ah, not here.
06:52What a surprise.
06:53She might be in dress rehearsal.
06:55Do you people just take meeting times as serving suggestions?
06:58Rehearsal.
07:00Oh, okay.
07:01That feels like a version of workplace harassment.
07:03What?
07:03Oh, that, yeah.
07:05I don't even, barely even notice that anymore.
07:09You just go, what breasts?
07:10Do you know what I mean?
07:10What big breasts?
07:12People take that down.
07:13Yeah.
07:13Yeah.
07:15Take it down, for sure.
07:17I feel like you're lingering, Christian.
07:19Yeah.
07:20Sorry, Julia.
07:21You're not actually going to fire anyone, are you?
07:24I know you would all prefer to interpretive dance until the electricity cuts off, but unfortunately
07:28someone has to make the tough decisions.
07:29Okay, well, I feel like I should warn you, these are theatre folk.
07:33They won't go down easy.
07:34Okay?
07:35I've turned around billion dollar companies.
07:37I think I can handle the sewing and knitting club.
07:40Okay.
07:42I'm breaking.
07:43Yeah?
07:43Yeah.
07:44And I know a new life will emerge, but oh God, the cracks.
07:48The cracks.
07:50The cracks.
07:50The cracks.
07:52What?
07:52Am I overeating it?
07:53Listen, what if we were to do it again, but I said to you that you are a pathetic nothingness.
07:59Okay?
07:59And your mother, she's dead.
08:00And there's a fox circling.
08:03Circling.
08:03Uh oh.
08:04Circling.
08:05Yes.
08:05Let's pick it up.
08:06Let's pick it up.
08:07Get up.
08:07What is this?
08:08It's one of our more experimental works.
08:10It's one of the small space.
08:1180 seats.
08:12Sorry, there's two theatres?
08:13And in one theatre, two spaces.
08:15I am breaking!
08:16Yes!
08:17What else?
08:18Margie?
08:19Margie?
08:20What?
08:20You have your performance review.
08:22Oh.
08:23We are working here.
08:25Debatable.
08:25Oh no, I've lost it.
08:26Okay, take five, everyone.
08:27Should we go in your office?
08:28Oh no, no.
08:29Let's review my performance.
08:33Alright, shall we?
08:35Yeah, I'll get my own chair.
08:37Oh, there we go.
08:37Did you go to uni for this?
08:39Of course I did.
08:40I went to the School of Life.
08:41And VCA for three years.
08:43You set?
08:44Ready.
08:46Margie?
08:46Hmm?
08:47How do you think your role helps the company strategically meet KPIs?
08:51My role?
08:52Yes.
08:52What is my role?
08:53That is my question.
08:55You know, am I a mother?
08:56Am I a lover?
08:56Am I a storyteller?
08:59You know, first they came screaming at me about KPIs.
09:03KPI!
09:04KPI!
09:05KPI!
09:05Key performance indicator!
09:07But an indication of what?
09:09Love?
09:11The suffering of my fellow workers?
09:14Are we not more than human resources?
09:19Oh, Margie.
09:20Oh, don't clap that.
09:22That was good.
09:23Can you take this seriously, please?
09:24I'm taking it very seriously.
09:26I'm just trying to show you the kind of magic you'll get if you sign off on my budget for
09:29the peasant show.
09:31The peasant show?
09:32Yeah.
09:32Okay.
09:33Not going to happen.
09:34Reflecting on our mission.
09:35How do you see your role evolving to further contribute to our collective success?
09:40Ah, the mission.
09:41The mission.
09:42My mission is the craft.
09:44I'm not writing that to you.
09:44The craft of acting.
09:46I get up every day, I act.
09:48This is completely pointless.
09:49Well, thanks for coming, guys.
09:51Okay, eggs.
09:51Let's get back on your feet.
09:53Let's go.
09:53Let's get back to the work.
09:54Okay.
09:54That's lunch.
09:56Great.
09:57I've lost the whole morning.
09:58Yep.
09:58Go eat.
09:59And then de-egg.
10:00And be back in time to re-egg for the photo shoot.
10:02Thanks, guys.
10:02Sorry.
10:04Aren't they even supposed to be?
10:05Spermatozoa?
10:06No.
10:06Well, they look very much like spermatozoa to me.
10:09Oh, just say come, Julia.
10:11Take a risk!
10:12Does she really think people are going to pay to see that silly egg show?
10:15I don't understand.
10:16People like eggs, I think.
10:17Ryan?
10:19What are you doing here?
10:20Um, Christian, this is my son Ryan.
10:22Really?
10:23I did not see you as a mother at all.
10:25What?
10:26Are you interested in the theatre, are you, son?
10:29No.
10:29He has a big future in commerce, don't you?
10:32No, I don't.
10:32That's why I'm here to talk to you, Mum.
10:33Sure, whatever it is can wait.
10:34I'm really busy.
10:35No, I'm staying with you.
10:36We're chatting this out.
10:37I will see you tonight.
10:39Egg?
10:40God.
10:40Mum!
10:42I'm not leaving!
10:44Why is there an egg?
10:46Okay, moving on.
10:47Section 2.
10:48Just so you know, this is probably one of our busiest days of the year.
10:51Is it?
10:52Okay.
10:53What facilitation processes do you engage in to ensure sustainable and productive outcomes?
10:57Now, what have you said there?
10:59What were all those words?
11:00Um, we design, we create, we consult.
11:03If one of our departments isn't working, whole production can fall over.
11:07Okay.
11:07Explain it to me again.
11:09You just do wigs.
11:10Just.
11:10Why can't you plonk one on?
11:12Oh, I'm neck down, sorry.
11:13What is neck down?
11:14I'm a peruchia.
11:15That's a wig maker.
11:16Only three of us in the entire country.
11:18Every wig that you see here, handcrafted from human hair.
11:21Oh, well that's disgusting.
11:22I wash them.
11:23I brush them.
11:24I love them, Julia.
11:25Now they sound a bit like guinea pigs.
11:27Okay, so I'm done here.
11:28Thank you so much.
11:28We're just looking for efficiencies.
11:30That's all.
11:30Aren't you supposed to be on our side?
11:31Hey, everybody.
11:33Profit is not a dirty word.
11:35But pussy is.
11:36Well, sorry, sorry.
11:37Who is that?
11:38That is something I'm dealing with right now.
11:40Wow, that was sorry.
11:41What?
11:41What have you done?
11:42Okay.
11:43Um, I'm, I'm so sorry you had to hear that, Donna.
11:47What, pussy?
11:49Don't.
11:49Say it again.
11:50In here.
11:51I am beyond disappointed, Brian.
11:53That was funny.
11:53This is a workplace.
11:55You can't speak like that.
11:56What is going on with you today?
11:57Dad's moving to the Gold Coast.
11:58Oh, finally some good news.
11:59And he's starting a multi-level superannuation fund.
12:02And it feeds into Retirement Lifestyle Village.
12:04Oh, excellent.
12:05I look forward to seeing him on A Current Affair.
12:07Yeah, well, he's asked me to source investors, okay?
12:09So, I'm going to move up to the Gold Coast with him.
12:12Because this, honestly, it's not working for me.
12:14Ryan, I know he's your dad, but trust me.
12:16He's not a good guy.
12:17Please don't let him Melissa Catecuse.
12:18Stop trying to rule my life, okay?
12:20I'll leave if I want to leave.
12:21Can we talk about this at home tonight?
12:23Okay, we'll do a big catch up on Dancing with the Stars.
12:26I'll make your favourite nuggets.
12:27Nugs and DWTS, yes?
12:30It's a good start.
12:31Yes, it is.
12:32Now go home.
12:32Fine.
12:33Okay, nuggets later.
12:34Fine.
12:35And don't say pussy.
12:36Ever.
12:37Fine.
12:40Hello, hi, hi, hi, hi.
12:42I'm Marty Argyle, the Artistic Director here.
12:44I don't think we've met.
12:45I'm just Julia's son, Ryan.
12:46Can I say something?
12:47You have the most fascinating face.
12:50It holds a million stories, it's wise, yet it hides pain.
12:53Really?
12:54Yes.
12:55My mum can't see any of that, so.
12:56Have you ever acted before?
12:57Me?
12:58No.
12:58You have.
12:59I haven't.
13:00I've not.
13:01Why don't you come with me into the rehearsal space?
13:03I want to have a bit of a chat.
13:04Okay.
13:04Yep, come on.
13:05You sure?
13:06Yeah.
13:06I want to talk to you about the craft.
13:08What's the craft?
13:10Uh...
13:11What are we doing?
13:12Huh!
13:13Huh!
13:13Huh!
13:15Huh!
13:16Huh!
13:16Huh!
13:16That's good!
13:17Let it out!
13:19I think it's obvious, Jacob has to go.
13:21Look what I found here.
13:22Crazy Wigs.com, Fantasy Wigs Online, The Reject Shop, these are all cheap wig places.
13:27and then we replace Jacob with AI or, I don't know, a 3D printer.
13:31Save the place 65K.
13:32I have to strongly advise you don't do this.
13:36No?
13:38Gently advise.
13:39I am so sorry I'm running behind Dominique,
13:42but we've got this new CEO she's really throwing her weight around.
13:44The nerves. It never gets better.
13:46Oh, but Dominique, it's OK.
13:47We breathe through it, we take our time, it's amazing
13:50and you are going to be amazing.
13:52Jacob, could we have a word outside, please?
13:55No, because I've now got one hour to fit three eggs
13:57or there will be no photo shoot.
13:59Really would be better if we could step outside.
14:00Yeah, you can just tell me here, Julia.
14:03OK, we'll do it here.
14:05Jacob, unfortunately, due to a series of strategic realignments,
14:08your position no longer exists at this company.
14:11Sorry, what?
14:12Full details of your redundancy are in this information pack.
14:16Don't give it to me, give it to Jacob.
14:19Effective immediately.
14:22Ah! That's it!
14:24Ah!
14:25Whatever you're feeling, just let it out.
14:27Cold mother.
14:28Empty mother.
14:29And who are you?
14:30Ryan.
14:30But who are you really?
14:32You know, what makes you scream at night and laugh until you cry?
14:35I don't know.
14:37OK.
14:38You need to work out who you are.
14:40Find your voice.
14:41Maggie.
14:41Yeah?
14:42Julia's fired Jacob.
14:44What?
14:44Come on!
14:45Leave the building, Jacob.
14:47Maggie!
14:48Hey, there's plenty of other jobs in the art.
14:49I can't help you with the resume.
14:50What are you doing?
14:51He's not going anywhere.
14:53Oh, hey.
14:54Enough with the drama.
14:56Save it for the stage.
14:57How dare you come in here and fire my staff?
15:00You don't feel partly responsible?
15:01I've seen your work credit card.
15:03All right.
15:03If he goes, we all go.
15:05I'm calling a snap strike.
15:06Thank you so much.
15:07Well, that's OK.
15:08I'm coming too.
15:08And me?
15:09Well, good.
15:10At least now we'll have internet.
15:11And me?
15:11And me.
15:13Why the hell are you still here?
15:15You don't even work here.
15:16You can't strike if you don't work.
15:18And what about you, Egg?
15:20I just booked a trip to Bali.
15:22Sorry.
15:22Great.
15:23Thank you, Egg.
15:24Appreciate it.
15:24Guys, we've got a photo shoot in one hour.
15:27Can we all just...
15:27Scab!
15:27Let's not say that.
15:28Scab!
15:29No.
15:30Scab!
15:30No.
15:31Scab!
15:31What a shock.
15:32People in the arts trying to avoid work.
15:34Oh, OK, Julia.
15:35If this is all so easy, why don't you do it?
15:38No.
15:38I think we'll be fine.
15:40God, suck your face then.
15:41Make your head small.
15:42It's the wrong size.
15:43It's not my egg.
15:44All right, let's try this one.
15:45Oh!
15:46Oh, Jesus Christ, Peter.
15:47That's two you've Humpty Dumpty'd.
15:48That's the last of the backup eggs.
15:49Let's not break any more eggs, people.
15:51I spilled soy on my suit.
15:53Oh, what, were you bathing in it?
15:54New policy, no more canapes.
15:56The media are going to be here soon.
15:57No.
15:57OK, everybody, listen up.
15:58Just own eggs.
15:59You've got to put your own eggs on.
16:00We're doing our own eggs now, guys.
16:02We're not trained.
16:02No, we're not doing that.
16:04Where's Dominique?
16:05I don't know.
16:05Which one's Dominique?
16:06Has anyone seen Dominique?
16:07That one?
16:08OK, just take an egg.
16:09Dominique, put it on your head.
16:11Uh-uh.
16:11No, I'm joining the strike.
16:12Shut up, you scab.
16:13You're not joining the strike.
16:14Put an egg on.
16:15It's easy.
16:16Oh, I remember when Papa took me to Paris.
16:19Oh, have I told you this one?
16:20Probably.
16:21But we love to hear it.
16:22Les pijons et moyennes today had just gone on tour.
16:25And the French were saying it was better than the original.
16:27Papa said to me, you will play this one day and you will play it better than me.
16:32Yeah.
16:33Dominique.
16:34I want to speak to Margie.
16:36You're the star.
16:37We're here to support you.
16:39We're here to help you.
16:40Anything we can do.
16:41Christian.
16:42What the frick?
16:43I was demonstrating how easy it was to get on.
16:45Now it's stuck.
16:46It's suctioned on.
16:47I can't get it off without cracking.
16:48It's the last of the good eggs.
16:49OK, OK, OK.
16:50I'm just going to grab underneath.
16:52OK, Paul, don't take my face with it and don't crack it.
16:56It's really sweaty in there.
16:58Who's in there?
16:59Dominique.
17:00Stage fright.
17:01Doesn't want to do the show.
17:02Won't do the photo shoot either.
17:03Oh, thank God.
17:05I'm starting to feel a bit better.
17:07You listen to me, Egg.
17:08You are contracted to take the stage at 7pm.
17:10If you fail to do so, I can and will sue you for damages.
17:13Get it?
17:15She's not going to...
17:16There's no one suing.
17:18Why would you do that?
17:18That's not helpful.
17:19Speak to Margie.
17:20OK, you go get Margie from the pub.
17:22I'll deal with Dominique.
17:23I'm not leaving the building like this.
17:25I'll deal with that.
17:25You get Margie.
17:26I can't deal with that.
17:27You're right, I'll get Margie.
17:28Dominique.
17:30Come on.
17:31Shit.
17:31Shit.
17:32Wonderful work on the floor today.
17:34Yeah, it felt so natural.
17:36Mum never let me do it.
17:36Oh, my God.
17:39What?
17:40Is this some sort of sick joke?
17:42Have you come here to rub an egg on our faces?
17:43According to the Industrial Relations Act, this strike is illegal.
17:47And Dominique has locked himself in a cupboard and refuses to come out.
17:49Sounds like it's a little disaster over there and you need me to come back.
17:52Not really.
17:53Oh, OK then.
17:55So, Ryan, where did you go to school?
17:57Just like...
17:58Fine.
17:58Yes, we need your help, please, Margie.
18:01I'll come back if you reinstate Jacob.
18:03YouTube.
18:12Oh, fabulous.
18:14You look excellent.
18:15Go, go, go.
18:16Ready?
18:17Go, go, go.
18:18You look fabulous.
18:19You're done, Denise.
18:20I'm on the Molotov.
18:21Just get it off.
18:22Ah!
18:23No, I'm like that.
18:24You can't pull it.
18:25My face is stuck in it.
18:26I'm going to have to vest you up.
18:27What?
18:28I'm going to vest you up.
18:29Dominique, it's Margie.
18:30Come on. Yeah, come on. Come on out.
18:34You're going to be magnificent.
18:35Oh, I can feel it. It's giving.
18:38You'll step out there and you'll drop in and you'll say,
18:41I am the egg.
18:42Two, three.
18:44Shut up!
18:46You're a two-a-divorce. You'll be magnificent.
18:49It's all in you already.
18:50Thank you, Donna. You're a valuable team member.
18:52That's the gift you give to the audience.
18:54You share yourself with them and they feel less alone.
18:57Always say the right thing.
18:59Get yourself out there.
19:00Go on.
19:03That's how it's done.
19:08Over here.
19:09Okay, we are looking really good.
19:11But can we bring it closer together, please?
19:13Yes, powerful.
19:14Hold that still.
19:16Yes, there he is. Thank you.
19:17Simone, are you with us?
19:19I'm good.
19:19Wake up. Wake up.
19:21Closer together.
19:22Presumably we all came from the same carton, right?
19:24So we love each other.
19:25That's raw egg intensity.
19:27Yes, that's the shot.
19:28Jump in there.
19:29I've got a dinner to go to.
19:31Always here for the most important moments, Carmel.
19:34Okay, quick photo with Carmel, everyone.
19:36Important photo with Carmel.
19:37Good use of time.
19:41Oh, Jules.
19:43It's been a tough day for you, hasn't it?
19:45It was a bit of cross-purposing, but I think I turned it around.
19:48I just feel like this creative stuff, it's not for you.
19:51Why don't you just sign up on my budget and then you can just drift away.
19:54Unfortunately for both of us, I'm here till we're back in the black.
19:57Okay.
19:58Okay.
19:58Oh.
19:59Fun day.
20:00Cheers.
20:01Julia.
20:01Oh, Carmel.
20:03Is that the wet look, is it?
20:04Just something I'm trying, yes.
20:05We're going to do the photo?
20:09Great caption for that would be, industry heavyweight encourages more women in the arts.
20:16What the hell is your son doing here?
20:19Ah, just dropping off my keys and some dry shampoo for that.
20:24Hell, I hope you've changed all the passwords.
20:26I don't want him hanging around you.
20:27Oh, he won't be here, ever.
20:29Alright, don't you worry, Carmel.
20:30Everything is under control.
20:37So, what's your favourite citrus?
20:39I'm just going to get you a water.
20:41Come on, come on.
20:41Come with me.
20:43Just be strong about it.
20:44You know yourself better than anyone.
20:46Better than you.
20:47You only just met him this morning.
20:48Come on, Ryan.
20:49I need you to drive me home.
20:50Let's go.
20:51No, Mum.
20:52I've got something to tell you.
20:53Because your dad's foot turned up on a beach south of Sydney.
20:56No, Mum.
20:57I'm not going to the Gold Coast with Dad.
20:59Oh, that's great news.
21:00We can get back on track.
21:01Maybe you could do an MBA.
21:03I'm not going to the Gold Coast because...
21:05Yep.
21:06I'm a gay man and an actor.
21:09Sorry, what?
21:10It's about time you knew who I am.
21:11Yeah, I know you're gay.
21:12Who cares?
21:13But an actor?
21:14Oh, Ryan, I think I'm going to be sick.
21:16I've seen something profoundly beautiful in Ryan.
21:20Yeah.
21:20Margie said I'm like a big Greek guy.
21:22No, he said you're like a gift from the Greek gods.
21:24Yeah, that.
21:25And not only that, but she's cast me in her French play about a peasant.
21:28It's just a small role, but he has the quality I'm looking for.
21:32The tragic sum.
21:33No, this isn't happening.
21:35Unless the play doesn't happen for some silly reason like budgets.
21:39No.
21:40No, Mum.
21:40That wouldn't happen, would it?
21:41No.
21:42Because then you'd have to go to the Gold Coast with your dad.
21:45He sounds awful, doesn't he?
21:48Oh, Sticky.
21:51Oh, dear.
21:52Yeah.
21:54Yeah.
