00:00Screw you.
00:03Maybe you shouldn't come.
00:05We can find you a nice couch somewhere to wait on.
00:08You came to mine?
00:09Yeah, it's not gonna be a fair trade. Trust me.
00:13Lost bird.
00:15That bird's not lost.
00:16Just saw its chance to get the fuck out of here.
00:20Saw a poster for a lost snake once.
00:21Nobody is looking for your lost snake, buddy.
00:26I used to work here, back when it was just a shed.
00:30I thought I'd be up front selling strawberries,
00:32but instead I was out back, weeding out the rotten fruit.
00:35And look at you now.
00:37Yeah, unemployed.
00:45It's my friend at InTech today.
00:48She might have a job for me. She's putting my name forward.
00:51Oh, for what?
00:52Who cares?
00:53Em?
00:56Oh, God.
00:57Hi!
00:57Hi!
00:58Oh, my God!
00:59Hi!
01:00Are you back?
01:01Yeah, fuck no.
01:04Sorry, Ryan, this is Kelly. We went to school together.
01:07Oh, went to school together.
01:09Me, bitch.
01:09We were best mates.
01:11I just didn't want to hype you up.
01:13Just tell me all about you.
01:14I bet she has.
01:15I haven't seen you in ages!
01:18Yeah, we're just gonna pop by Mum and Dad's,
01:21but then got away for weekends.
01:23Oh, guess where we live now?
01:24Where?
01:25Next to your parents.
01:26Oh, God.
01:27I'm sorry.
01:27Right?
01:28It's just like so weird.
01:30Wait, what happened to the Carletti?
01:32I think they died.
01:33Or we died late or something.
01:35I don't know.
01:35Okay.
01:36Where are you off to then?
01:38The springs.
01:39Ooh, okay.
01:40It's like really fancy there now.
01:42Remember it was just like country bumpkins.
01:44Do you remember camp?
01:45Did she ever tell you about our grade nine camp?
01:48It was just four of us in a cabin during the mineral water.
01:51Have you ever tried fresh mineral water?
01:53You know, like fresh from the spring or whatever?
01:55I haven't.
01:56Well, spoiler alert.
01:57It smelt like syrup and it tasted disgusting.
02:00Well, at least it did.
02:01But that's probably just because we were, you know,
02:03taste this little country bug and moles.
02:06Find that hard to believe?
02:06Oh, well, charming.
02:08Not a usual type then?
02:10Well...
02:10Oh, God.
02:11Do you remember when you pulled all the slats out from a man just bugbed
02:14and then when she jumped on it, it just like collapsed?
02:18Fucking hell.
02:19Thanks for pretending like I'd spoken about it before.
02:23She seems really nice.
02:26Did you really take the slats out of your friend's bed at camp?
02:28I did.
02:29It was actually pretty funny.
02:30Didn't take you for a prankster.
02:32Yeah, so watch out.
02:48Just so you know, I'm not the best version of myself around these people.
02:52Mum's a flight.
02:53Dad's a dickhead.
02:54So you've been warned.
02:56Don't worry.
02:56Parents love me.
02:58I've got you.
03:07Stop here.
03:19Here we go.
03:21Here we go.
03:29This is where I go.
03:32Which one?
03:43Oh, come here.
03:46Oh.
03:48Ryan?
03:49Hey.
03:50Hi.
03:51Oh.
03:52You look tired.
03:54Thanks.
03:56We got you these.
03:58Oh.
03:58They'll go well on the cake.
04:00Come in.
04:01Cheers.
04:08This is way too much food, Mum.
04:10Oh, you know I like to entertain.
04:13How's work, Dad?
04:14Oh, yeah.
04:16Good.
04:16Not too bad, anyway.
04:17Plenty of neglected gardens out there, you know.
04:19So, you know, we're busy.
04:21We're real busy, actually.
04:23So, yeah.
04:26Emily tells me you're an interior designer, Mrs. Wright.
04:28Oh, God.
04:29Just Sharon, please.
04:31Yeah, we're all informal here.
04:34Yeah, no, I was interested in it for a while there, but it's a lot.
04:37Yeah, I'm actually working on porcelain dolls at the moment.
04:42Well, you should see them.
04:43Go get one, love.
04:45All right.
04:47Yeah.
04:48Oh, she's really good.
04:51Puts a lot of work into them, you know.
04:53They're very lifelike.
04:56Hmm.
05:00Where are you from, Ryan?
05:01I'm actually on the east side at the moment.
05:03Very expensive out there.
05:06Yeah.
05:06This is the last one I've done.
05:09Ooh.
05:10The next one is in the kiln at the moment.
05:13You've got a kiln and everything, Mum.
05:14Oh, God.
05:15Watch the head.
05:19Wow, this is amazing.
05:22You've even got the little tiny hairs and everything.
05:24Oh, well, thank you.
05:25Yeah, it's a lot of work.
05:27Each of those hairs has to go in individually.
05:29It's not like those plugs of dolls' hair that they used to have.
05:33Yeah, there's a real art to it.
05:36I can tell.
05:37She's really beautiful.
05:39Her name's Judith.
05:40That's Nana's name.
05:41You named it after your mum.
05:43I didn't name her.
05:44It was the model name in the catalogue.
05:46Well, your Nan's dead anyway.
05:47She's not going to care.
05:48Maybe you should be honoured.
05:49That's really good.
05:50You've done a good job.
05:52Yeah, you have, Mum.
05:53It's really cool.
05:54Show them the Emily one.
05:56There's an Emily one.
05:57I didn't name it.
06:00So Emily tells me you're also a right.
06:04Yeah.
06:06Yes, Scottish though.
06:07Ah.
06:08Whereabouts?
06:09A couple of generations ago, but Glasgow originally.
06:12Yeah, that's a bit of a rough old city, that place.
06:15Yep.
06:15Give me your money.
06:19I'm kidding.
06:20It's, uh, yeah, it's got character for sure.
06:26This is Emily.
06:27Oh, God.
06:28Yep.
06:29She was the first one that I was practising on.
06:31So, you know, she, she's not really someone that you can hold.
06:35Yeah, she's a bit fragile.
06:37I feel quite attacked.
06:39We've come out from England, ourselves.
06:41Well, originally, you know, my side, that is, all the way from Somerset.
06:45You make it sound like we come from nobility, Dad.
06:47We do have nobility in our bloodline, thank you very much.
06:50Your great-great-grandfather was a nobleman.
06:53Well, if he was so great, why was he boning the chimney sweeps?
06:56Don't be a smart-ass, Emily.
07:04I've actually been to Somerset.
07:06Bath.
07:07Beautiful countryside around there.
07:09Mmm, alright.
07:10Yes, we've never been.
07:12We're waiting for the airfares to come down a bit.
07:15Just us!
07:18Mum, you said they weren't coming.
07:20Don't be rude, Emily.
07:23I got stuck at the roadworks.
07:26Hi.
07:29Hi.
07:30You look so skinny.
07:31What have you been doing?
07:32Cigarettes and anxiety.
07:35Hello.
07:35Here we go.
07:36This is your auntie.
07:38Is this one from the kiln too?
07:41You look tighter than me.
07:42Thanks.
07:43It's more tight.
07:45God.
07:45I should go all grandma-nazzy on you too.
07:47I said you looked skinny too, remember?
07:49How you doing?
07:50Glenn.
07:51Hey, Brian.
07:52You told me it was David.
07:53That was the other guy.
07:54Well, how the fuck am I meant to know?
07:56Weren't they still living together like a month ago?
07:58Don't be rude.
07:59Ugh.
08:00Why is Emily here?
08:01I wanted to see them.
08:02Mum, they're so creepy.
08:04Why'd you bring out the worst one?
08:05Well, I showed them the last one too.
08:09She dropped Emily on her head.
08:10That's why I can't touch her.
08:11That's fitting.
08:12I didn't drop her.
08:13She just rolled off the table on her own.
08:15Anyway, how are you doing, Em?
08:17I'm great.
08:19Come to Nanny.
08:21You still doing that thing or whatever you're doing?
08:23Glenn.
08:24What?
08:25No.
08:26I got laid off.
08:26The company collapsed a week ago.
08:28I told you that.
08:29When?
08:30Look, next time.
08:31Just give me a list of things I can and can't say.
08:33Okay?
08:34How about you, mate?
08:35What do you do?
08:35Or am I meant to know that already?
08:39I'm an accountant.
08:41Yeah?
08:41Hey Bill, we should get him to do our taxes
08:43instead of that fucking idiot in town.
08:44Yes.
08:45I don't do tax returns.
08:47I'm a forensic accountant.
08:48Like on CSI?
08:50Kinda.
08:51I'd monitor and investigate corporate fraud and theft.
08:54Do a bit of security and risk management and stuff like that.
08:57Oh.
08:57You can sex it up.
08:59Oh, scratch that then.
09:00You're probably the wrong guy to help us dodgy up our tax returns.
09:03Yeah, probably.
09:04What about you?
09:05Landscaper.
09:06Nice.
09:08Nice.
09:10How's he sleeping?
09:12He's not.
09:13It's the same shit every night.
09:14It's fine.
09:15Fine for you.
09:16You pretend to be asleep while he's screaming.
09:17I'm not pretending.
09:18I work for a living.
09:19I need to sleep.
09:20You're lucky you don't have kids.
09:22So, uh, what's your plans now, Em?
09:24You looking for a job or...?
09:25Of course I'm looking for a job.
09:27I've got some leads.
09:28I'm actually waiting to hear back on a really great one.
09:30What about your place?
09:31Can you get out of the lease?
09:32Why would I get out of my lease, Mum?
09:33I need somewhere to live.
09:35Why don't you just move back here until you sort yourself out?
09:37Yeah, I'm not moving back here.
09:38It's not exactly working out there, is it?
09:40I could ask Ange if she needs anyone at the cafe.
09:42Oh, you can't be serious.
09:44What, making cappuccinos by day and sleeping next to a doll kiln by night?
09:49She doesn't mean permanently.
09:50Just a job to get you through.
09:52I'll be fine.
09:53Well, don't come looking at us for money.
09:55I'm not looking at anybody for money, Dad.
09:57I just came here to be nice.
09:59This is a nice, apparently.
10:00I'm not going to work at fucking Ange's Cafe for 15 bucks an hour.
10:04I had a really good job.
10:05And I'll find another really good job.
10:08And I've got severance and I fucking won an award.
10:11Emily?
10:12Wasn't that like 10 years ago?
10:13Runner-up.
10:15The Lit Review Short Story Awards are a really big deal.
10:17I thought they stopped doing it.
10:19Well, it was a great story.
10:22Didn't you think?
10:27They haven't read it.
10:30Of course we're proud of her.
10:32Didn't you start a proper book?
10:34How's that going?
10:35Do you still have the advanced?
10:36It was $2,000.
10:38Five years ago.
10:39Of course she still doesn't have it.
10:42What's it about?
10:44This shithole.
10:46What do you mean?
10:46She's joking.
10:48How much more have you got to go on it?
10:50Most of it.
10:51I haven't really had much time to write lately.
10:53You just had two years off.
10:54Yeah.
10:55What were you doing all locked down?
10:56I didn't have two years off.
10:58I was working from home.
11:00Didn't you two just collect the doll the whole time?
11:01That's different.
11:02And we're back now.
11:03We make two grand in a couple of days.
11:05Okay, stop.
11:06It's not a competition.
11:07No, it should make more than that.
11:08In a few weeks at Ange's Cafe.
11:09Oh my God, if I end up back you just fucking shoot me.
11:13I don't think the baby minds mum.
11:15It's basically every second word that comes out of his mouth anyway.
11:18I wouldn't be surprised if the baby's first words are fucking cudd.
11:21Emily!
11:22This is a good town, Emily.
11:24You were brought up here.
11:25It's a good place to raise a family.
11:27I don't get why people rag on it so much.
11:29Seriously?
11:31You sort of get the fuck out of here too, Felicity.
11:34Oh yeah, so?
11:35What makes anywhere else so special?
11:37Everywhere's the same.
11:38You haven't been anywhere else.
11:40We just got back from Tasmania.
11:41Sorry.
11:42Didn't realise you've been overseas now.
11:45Yeah, well maybe you're the problem, Em.
11:47Ever think about that?
11:52Oh!
11:53Hey!
11:53Oh no, look.
11:55Bloody family.
11:56It's a delight, isn't it?
11:59We should do this more often.
12:08Well, at least it was painful.
12:13It's like that every time.
12:15A year or so of catching up over in ten minutes, huge fight, and then awkward silences.
12:24They were right.
12:27I used to think this place was the problem, but probably it's just me.
12:32It's not you.
12:34And if it helps, I didn't think they cared much for me either.
12:38I'd be more worried if they did like you, to be honest.
12:50Everything okay?
12:53Yeah.
12:56They offered the job to someone else.
13:04that's a good place.
13:07I don't know.
13:07I don't know.
13:08I think that's very fun.
13:09Oh yes.
13:09Um, I love this.
13:10Oh yes.
13:13Thanks.
13:14Ready?
13:15This is a problem.
13:16It's a good one.
13:16It's a good one.
13:17It's a good one.
13:17The way.
13:17It's a good one.
13:20It's a good one.
13:20And I'm pretty stiff.
13:24It's a good one.
13:33I drown in the oceans
13:36That keep us apart
13:41Mapping distant stars
13:47All their voices call me
13:50To the shelter of your skin
13:55Where the end begins
14:01Oh, I'm fading through
14:08Oh, I'm fading through
14:15Nothing left to do
14:23And can't you see it was all for you
14:30You okay?
14:30Mm-hmm, yeah
14:31I climb on two rooftops
14:34To catch a glimpse of the moon
14:37A fading train
14:39A mountain of effort
14:48And the only fact that this one is today
15:00Oh, I'm fading through
15:06Oh, I'm fading through
15:13Nothing left to do
15:21Can't you see it was all for you?
15:42Oh, I missed out on you
15:55Once you believe in the sky
15:58Oh, we're fading through
16:02Oh, we're fading through
16:11Nothing left to do
16:19Can't you say it was all for you?
16:40How are your dates so polished and why they're so fucking lame?
16:44No, they're not
16:44Yes, they are
16:45Next date, I am taking you somewhere really nice, really fancy
16:50You don't have to do that
16:51Yes, I do
16:52Get your best frock ready
16:54The Falls Holiday Camp
16:56I looked it up, it's still there
16:59That's funny
17:00I should text Kelly and tell her
17:05Have you been out here before?
17:08Kind of, not exactly
17:09Not exactly
17:11Oh, when I was younger
17:12My grandparents took my mum out here to her camp
17:14Slash retreat, slash rehab program
17:16The rehab?
17:18Yeah
17:20I remember the car ride out here, but not really the place
17:24Is that why you wanted to come here?
17:26Well, it wasn't the greatest of memories, but
17:30I don't know
17:33Maybe that's the reason
17:34Override the bad memories with the good ones
17:46Can't we just stay out here forever?
17:49Sure
17:50I'll pop down to the shop, grab some new locks, put them on the barn
17:56We might need some weapons too
17:58I don't think we have squatters rights out here
18:00I know the owners, and I reckon we could take them
18:03I've never been in a fight before, but I would do this for you
18:06It's a plan
18:07You've never been in a fight before?
18:10Nope
18:11Have you?
18:12Yes
18:13Kelly was right, we were little bogan moles
18:17Our school was like Lord of the Flies
18:20Did you win any?
18:22I won all of them
18:23Right, I'll be your backup then
18:26I think we can take them
18:28We'll rule with fear
18:31The king and queen of the springs
18:51You didn't want that joke
18:54I did
18:56I needed it
18:57I need something
18:59Why?
19:00Why?
19:01Why do you need a job?
19:03I need the money
19:05Yeah, exactly
19:06But what I do is a grind, and that's all it will ever be
19:09I'm not going to be a super accountant or anything
19:13You could go much further with what you want to do
19:16No, it's different
19:18I need stability
19:20I'd offer to help you out, but I know you probably wouldn't take it
19:22Damn right I wouldn't
19:24And with a watch
19:25You live in your grandparents' basement
19:27I moved in during COVID to help them out
19:29I have money
19:31What are we talking about here?
19:34This property?
19:36Are you serious?
19:41No
19:42I'm kidding, I wish
19:44I have savings and investments and stuff
19:49And if you wanted to do anything
19:51I'd back you
19:56You don't even know me
19:59I don't think that's true
20:07That's Nat
20:08Okay, she says
20:10Severance payout is six months staff base wage plus super
20:15We'll work it out Monday
20:17Have a good weekend
20:19That's great, right?
20:20Yeah, that's pretty decent
20:21How do you feel?
20:23I feel relieved, I think
20:27Now
20:28And just so you know, that wasn't a shame buyout
20:31I don't do charity, I do investments
20:34Well, thank you
20:40And you were right to refuse
20:41My interest rates are exorbitant
20:43See, there's always a catch
20:46We'll let the record reflect
20:48I loved you before I knew you were loaded
20:49But loaded is definitely a stretch
20:55Wait
20:59What did you say?
21:00Can you make this new?
21:05Well, thank you
