00:00Good luck finding anyone else who can deal with the great Margie Argyle.
00:03What do you think of theatre, Julia?
00:05Don't we all just watch Netflix now?
00:08Everyone, 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.
00:26You know what you should do?
00:27Something Grease-themed.
00:28What about a sexy Sandy?
00:30We're just going to sneak a new thing into the programme.
00:33Our major production this season,
00:35Le Pise-on-e-moi-ti-en-kele.
00:38It's supposed to be Grease.
00:458, 8, 9, 8, 8, 9, 8, 8, 9, 8, 9, 8, 9, 8, 8, 9, 8, 8, 9, 8.
00:51Ha, ha, ha.
01:17Good morning.
01:19Oh, here we go.
01:22Wow.
01:24Looking good.
01:26That's too much.
01:27Good luck.
01:28Okay.
01:29And no.
01:31Yeah.
01:32Hey!
01:34I'm sensing a bit of tension.
01:36Are you angry with me?
01:37Oh, what do you think?
01:38You look fantastic in that Grease costume.
01:40Do you get any nice comments?
01:41Well, someone in your beauty school dropped out from a car as I was leaving, so I guess I have
01:45you to thank for that.
01:46It's not personal, alright?
01:47I have to stand up for my art.
01:49Is it art or plays starring you?
01:52Well, that's what the public wants.
01:53Speaking of, I've just got a little budget here for Le Pais en et Moitié en Tere.
01:57Yeah, there you go.
01:58Sorry, I don't speak whatever that was.
01:59That was French.
02:00And if I could just grab a little signature just from you.
02:03Thank you so much.
02:04Is this the peasant show you shouldn't have announced at the launch?
02:06I'm not signing off on that.
02:07You did not have board approval.
02:08Okay.
02:09How do I say this?
02:10With such respect, you have no idea about theatre.
02:15Why don't you try and sell me this play in one sentence?
02:18Okay.
02:19It's an 18th century French masterpiece where I'm buried up to my neck in sand for four hours on stage
02:24delivering a single monologue,
02:25only to be interrupted twice by the ghost of my dead child.
02:28Is that it?
02:30Yeah.
02:30Ah.
02:31Ah!
02:32Not approved.
02:33What did I say?
02:34Monologue, for a start.
02:35When in real life do people talk uninterrupted for hours on end?
02:38Happens to me a bit.
02:39I think we're done for now, Marguerite.
02:42Okay.
02:43You know what?
02:44I see what's going on here.
02:45Yeah.
02:46You haven't loved in many years.
02:48If only you could touch that sorrow.
02:50You know, and then BAM!
02:51Life will come in!
02:53Do you know, is there a version of the play where they bury you in sand just above the mouth?
02:57Because I would sign off on that.
03:01Why are there always eight people walking around here?
03:04Morning, Simone.
03:05Simone?
03:08Ryan, did you get the email I sent you about the Pulse 54 program?
03:12That Scott guy?
03:13You're so obsessed.
03:14I'm not obsessed with him.
03:15Don't say that.
03:16That's silly.
03:16You are.
03:17You know, he's like a cult leader, basically.
03:19He's not a cult leader.
03:20He's a gymfluencer.
03:21And I've signed you up for the 6am Saturday program.
03:236am?
03:24No, that's it.
03:25I'm coming down there for a big row.
03:26Ryan, I'm at work.
03:28Ryan.
03:29Oh, don't come down here.
03:31Oh, it doesn't matter.
03:32I'll never find the place.
03:34Yeah, you need a fish extract.
03:36I just use the Nivea from the IGA.
03:38It's quite scaly, isn't it?
03:40Is it?
03:41What do you mean?
03:41It explains the dandruff as well.
03:43No, I don't think that's dandruff.
03:46I think that's dust.
03:47That's skin-coloured dust.
03:48What?
03:48I just finished this, but if it doesn't work, I just keep making them until we get it right.
03:52What's your artistic rationale with this week?
03:54The peasant's hair becomes a symbol of the freedom.
03:56I fucking love that.
03:58Me too.
04:00Morning.
04:02Hi.
04:03Good morning.
04:04Everyone's here, we can kick it off.
04:05Fantastic.
04:06Good morning, everybody.
04:07What are you doing?
04:08What are you doing?
04:09I always start the meetings, so thanks.
04:12Julie is first on the agenda.
04:13What agenda?
04:14We have an agenda now.
04:16All items emailed to Christian by 9am.
04:18Systems and Processes people, you can take a seat, Marguerite.
04:21All right, well, I'll be straight with everyone.
04:23This organisation is not financially viable.
04:26Oh, so not going to acknowledge country or anything?
04:29No, please.
04:30It's time for a major strategic review.
04:32Does anyone know the most expensive part of any corporation?
04:35Anyone?
04:36Who cares?
04:37I got this.
04:38The internet.
04:40I don't think so.
04:41It's the staff.
04:42The staff.
04:43That means you.
04:44So I need to determine job scope and look for opportunities for cuts.
04:48That's why Christian will assist me in conducting performance reviews with each of you starting
04:52today.
04:53Oh, but we're not performers.
04:55I would never dream of going on stage.
04:57Yeah, how is the performance stage?
04:59That's a really interesting question.
05:00What scene will I do?
05:02It's not a literal performance.
05:03Am I out the front on the stage?
05:04Is there a text?
05:05Is it a one woman?
05:06It's not a ritual performance.
05:07It's a review of your performance at work.
05:10Oh.
05:10Okay?
05:11I've actually been trying to implement HR strategies for years.
05:14Have you?
05:14Well, I've never heard you mention it.
05:16You know what?
05:16You should speak more from the diaphragm.
05:19Your words seem to dissipate into the air.
05:21People!
05:22We need to start thinking like a business.
05:25There will be redundancies.
05:26You will not be cutting my staff.
05:29Okay?
05:29Over my dead body.
05:30What's next on the agenda, Christian?
05:32A bit of good news, actually.
05:34Margie's new work, Scrambled, is upon us.
05:37Ah!
05:38Everyone's excited.
05:40Oh, is this the egg people thing?
05:42Oh, I don't know.
05:43Is that a, what do you call it, a play, is it?
05:45Devised work.
05:46I devised it from source material.
05:49Okay, previews start tonight,
05:50and there's an exciting photo shoot beforehand.
05:53Yes, Donna and I have four hours to prep half a dozen eggs.
05:56Okay, well, I guess we've got to make sure they're at room temperature.
05:59The eggs need to be at room temperature.
06:02Okay, performance reviews start today.
06:04Check your diaries.
06:05Christian, when you're ready.
06:07Christian, when you're ready.
06:08Sorry, Christian, when you're...
06:11Off he goes.
06:13It's about 20 minutes, but to be honest with you,
06:15it is the de-egging that's the hard part.
06:17Yeah, I can see that.
06:18They look absolutely stunning, by the way.
06:20It's brilliant.
06:21All right, so now we've got half a dozen eggs prep,
06:24but they have to de-egg and then re-egg for tonight.
06:26We are going to have to move with, like, military precision.
06:29Yes.
06:29Oh.
06:29Oh, sorry.
06:31Sorry.
06:31Um, Simone, yeah.
06:32Um, hi.
06:33Um, did you just go to the bathroom egged up?
06:36Yeah.
06:36So please don't do that, because, like, what happens if you slip in your egg cracks?
06:40I don't have giant fucking chickens out the back!
06:44OK, everyone, there's limited eggs.
06:46We've got an egg shortage, so let's be careful and mindful.
06:49Take a minute.
06:50No, take a minute.
06:51Yes.
06:52Yeah.
06:52God's sake!
06:53Right, let's get back to rehearsal, please.
06:56One of you is rotten.
06:57How are we going to embody that?
06:58Has anyone got an offer?
07:00Margie up first?
07:02Yep.
07:02Big kahuna.
07:03Brave.
07:04I'm not scared of it.
07:06Really?
07:08Margie, performance review.
07:10Ah, not here.
07:12What a surprise.
07:12She might be in dress rehearsal.
07:15Do you people just take meeting times as serving suggestions?
07:18Rehearsal.
07:20Oh, OK.
07:21That feels like a version of workplace harassment.
07:23What?
07:24Oh, that, yeah.
07:26I didn't even, barely even notice that anymore.
07:29You just go, what breasts?
07:30Do you know what I mean?
07:31What, what big breasts?
07:33Take that down.
07:33Yeah.
07:34Yeah.
07:36Take it down, for sure.
07:38I feel like you're lingering, Christian.
07:41Sorry, Julia.
07:42You're not, uh, you're not actually going to fire anyone, are you?
07:45I know you would all prefer to interpretive dance until the electricity cuts off, but unfortunately
07:49someone has to make the tough decisions.
07:51OK, well, I feel like I should warn you, these are theatre folk.
07:55They won't go down easy, OK?
07:57I have turned around billion-dollar companies.
07:59I think I can handle the sewing and knitting club.
08:01Oh, OK.
08:04I'm breaking.
08:05Yeah?
08:06And I know a new life will emerge, but, oh, God, the cracks.
08:11The cracks.
08:12The cracks.
08:14What, am I over-eating it?
08:16All right, listen.
08:17What if we were to do it again, but I said to you that you are a pathetic nothingness?
08:22OK, and your mother, she's dead, and there's a fox circling, circling, uh-oh, circling.
08:28Yes, let's pick it up.
08:29Let's pick it up.
08:30Get up.
08:31What is this?
08:32It's one of our more experimental works.
08:34It's all in the small space.
08:3580 seats.
08:36Sorry, there's two theatres?
08:37I don't know, one theatre, two spaces.
08:39I am breaking!
08:40Yes, what else?
08:42Margie?
08:42Your life will emerge, but I...
08:44Margie!
08:44What?
08:45You have your performance review.
08:47Oh, we are working here!
08:49Debatable.
08:50Oh, no, I've lost it.
08:51OK, take five, everyone.
08:52Should we go in your office?
08:53Oh, no, no.
08:54Let's review my performance.
08:58All right, shall we?
09:00Yeah, I'll get my own chair.
09:02Oh, there we go.
09:02Did you go to uni for this?
09:04Of course I did.
09:05I went to the School of Life and VCA for three years.
09:08You set?
09:09I'm ready.
09:12Margie, how do you think your role helps the company strategically meet KPIs?
09:16My role?
09:17Yes.
09:18What is my role?
09:19That is my question.
09:20You know, am I a mother?
09:22Am I a lover?
09:23Am I a storyteller?
09:24You know, first they came screaming at me about KPIs.
09:29KPI, KPI, KPI.
09:32Key performance indicator.
09:34But an indication of what?
09:35Love?
09:38The suffering of my fellow workers?
09:41Are we not more than human resources?
09:46Oh, Margie.
09:48Oh, don't clap that.
09:49That was good.
09:50Can you take this seriously, please?
09:52I'm taking it very seriously.
09:53I'm just trying to show you the kind of magic you'll get if you sign off on my budget for
09:57Les Pison et Moiti entrette.
09:58The peasant show?
09:59Yeah.
10:00Okay.
10:00Not going to happen.
10:02Reflecting on our mission, how do you see your role evolving to further contribute to
10:06our collective success?
10:08Ah, the mission.
10:09The mission.
10:11My mission is the craft.
10:12I'm not writing that to you.
10:13The craft of acting.
10:14I get up every day, I act.
10:17This is completely pointless.
10:18Well, thanks for coming, guys.
10:19Okay, eggs.
10:20Let's get back on your feet.
10:21Let's go.
10:22Let's get back to the work.
10:23Okay, that's lunch.
10:25Great.
10:26I've lost the whole morning.
10:27Yep, go eat.
10:28And then de-egg and be back in time to re-egg for the photo shoot.
10:31Thanks, guys.
10:32Sorry.
10:33They're not even supposed to be.
10:35Spermatozoa?
10:35No.
10:36Well, they look very much like spermatozoa to me.
10:38Oh, just say, come, Julia.
10:40Take a risk.
10:42Does she really think people are going to pay to see that silly egg show?
10:45I don't understand.
10:46People like eggs, I think.
10:48Right.
10:48Ryan, what are you doing here?
10:50Um, Christian, this is my son, Ryan.
10:53Really?
10:54I did not see you as a mother at all.
10:56What?
10:56Are you interested in the theatre, are you, son?
11:00No.
11:00He has a big future in commerce, don't you?
11:02No, I don't.
11:03That's why I'm here to talk to you, Mum.
11:04Sure, whatever it is can wait.
11:05I'm really busy.
11:06No, I'm staying with you.
11:07We're chatting this out.
11:08I will see you tonight.
11:10Egg?
11:11God.
11:11Mum?
11:13I'm not leaving.
11:15Why is there an egg?
11:17Okay, moving on.
11:18Section two.
11:19Just so you know, this is probably one of our busiest days of the year.
11:23Is it?
11:24Okay.
11:24What facilitation processes do you engage in to ensure sustainable and productive outcomes?
11:29Now, what have you said there?
11:31What were all those words?
11:32Um, we design, we create, we consult.
11:35If one of our departments isn't working, whole production can fall over.
11:39Okay.
11:40Explain it to me again.
11:41You just do wigs.
11:43Just do.
11:43Why can't you plonk one on?
11:44Oh, I'm neck down, sorry.
11:46What's neck down?
11:47I'm a peruchia.
11:48That's a wig maker.
11:49Only three of us in the entire country.
11:51Every wig that you see here, handcrafted from human hair.
11:54Oh, well, that's disgusting.
11:56I wash them.
11:56I brush them.
11:57I love them, Julia.
11:59Now they sound a bit like guinea pigs.
12:00Okay.
12:01So I'm down here.
12:01Thank you so much.
12:02Hey, we're just looking for efficiencies.
12:03That's all.
12:04Aren't you supposed to be on our side?
12:05Hey, everybody, profit is not a dirty word.
12:08But pussy is.
12:10Well, sorry, sorry.
12:11Who is that?
12:12That is something I'm dealing with right now.
12:14I was sorry.
12:15What?
12:15What have you done?
12:17Okay.
12:18Um, I'm so sorry you had to hear that, Donna.
12:22What, pussy?
12:23Don't say it again.
12:25In here.
12:26I am beyond disappointed, Ryan.
12:28It was funny.
12:28This is a workplace.
12:30You can't speak like that.
12:31What is going on with you today?
12:32Dad's moving to the Gold Coast.
12:33Oh, finally, some good news.
12:34And he's starting a multi-level superannuation fund
12:37and it feeds into Retirement Lifestyle Village.
12:40Oh, excellent.
12:40I look forward to seeing him on a current affair.
12:42Yeah, well, he's asked me to source investors, okay?
12:44So, I'm going to move up to the Gold Coast with him
12:47because this, honestly, it's not working for me.
12:50Ryan, I know he's your dad, but trust me, he's not a good guy.
12:53Please don't let him Melissa Kattek you.
12:54Stop trying to rule my life, okay?
12:56I'll leave if I want to leave.
12:58Can we talk about this at home tonight?
13:00Okay, we'll do a big catch-up on Dancing with the Stars.
13:02I'll make your favourite nuggets.
13:04Nugs and DWTS, yes?
13:07It's a good start.
13:08Yes, it is.
13:08Now go home.
13:09Fine.
13:10Okay?
13:10Nuggets later.
13:11Fine.
13:12And don't say pussy.
13:13Ever.
13:14Fine.
13:17Hello, hi, hi, hi, hi.
13:19I'm Marty Agile, the artistic director here.
13:21I don't think we've met.
13:22I'm just Julia's son, Ryan.
13:24Can I say something?
13:24You have the most fascinating face.
13:27It holds a million stories, it's wise, yet it hides pain.
13:31Really?
13:31Yes.
13:33My mum can't see any of that, so...
13:34Have you ever acted before?
13:35Me? No.
13:36You have, but...
13:37I haven't.
13:38I've not.
13:39Why don't you come with me into the rehearsal space?
13:41I want to have a bit of a chat.
13:42Okay.
13:43Yep, come on.
13:43You sure?
13:44Yeah.
13:44I want to talk to you about the craft.
13:46What's the craft?
13:48Uh, what are we doing?
13:53Ha, ha, ha. That's good. Let it out.
13:58I think it's obvious. Jacob has to go.
14:00Look what I found here.
14:02Crazywigs.com, Fantasy Wigs Online, The Reject Shop.
14:04These are all cheap wig places.
14:06And then we replace Jacob with AI or, I don't know, a 3D printer.
14:11Save the place 65K.
14:12I have to strongly advise you don't do this.
14:16No?
14:18Gently advise.
14:20I am so sorry. I'm running behind, Dominique.
14:22But we've got this new CEO. She's really throwing her weight around.
14:25The nerves. It never gets better.
14:26Oh, but Dominique, it's OK. We breathe through it. We take our time.
14:30It's amazing. And you are going to be amazing.
14:33Jacob, could we have a word outside, please?
14:36No, because I've now got one hour to fit three eggs or there will be no photo shoot.
14:40Really would be better if we could step outside.
14:42Yeah, you can just tell me here, Julia.
14:44OK, we'll do it here.
14:46Jacob, unfortunately, due to a series of strategic realignments, your position no longer exists at this company.
14:53Sorry, what?
14:54Full details of your redundancy are in this information pack.
14:57Don't give it to me. Give it to Jacob.
14:59Sorry.
15:01Effective immediately.
15:05Agh! That's it!
15:06Agh!
15:07Whatever you're feeling, just let it out.
15:09Cold mother!
15:10Empty mother!
15:11And who are you?
15:12Ryan!
15:13But who are you really?
15:14You know, what makes you scream at night and laugh until you cry?
15:18I don't know.
15:19Agh, OK.
15:21You need to work out who you are.
15:23Find your voice.
15:24Maggie.
15:25Yeah?
15:25Julia's fired Jacob.
15:27What?
15:27Come on!
15:28Leave the building, Jacob.
15:31Maggie!
15:31Hey, there's plenty of other jobs in the art.
15:33I can't help you with the resume.
15:34What are you doing?
15:35He's not going anywhere.
15:37Hey!
15:38Hey, enough with the drama.
15:40Save it for the stage.
15:41How dare you come in here and fire my staff!
15:44You don't feel partly responsible?
15:45I've seen your work credit card.
15:47All right.
15:47If he goes, we all go.
15:49I'm calling a snap strike.
15:50Thank you so much.
15:51No, that's OK.
15:52I'm coming too.
15:53And me?
15:54Well, good.
15:54At least now we'll have internet.
15:56And me?
15:56And me.
15:58Why the hell are you still here?
16:00You don't even work here.
16:01You can't strike if you don't work.
16:03And what about you, Egg?
16:05I just booked a trip to Bali.
16:07Sorry.
16:07Great.
16:08Thank you, Egg.
16:09Appreciate it.
16:10Guys, we've got a photo shoot in one hour.
16:12Can we all just...
16:13Scab!
16:13Let's not say that.
16:14Scab!
16:15No.
16:15Scab!
16:16No.
16:16Scab!
16:17What a shock.
16:18People in the arts trying to avoid work.
16:20Oh, OK, Julia.
16:21If this is all so easy, why don't you do it?
16:24No.
16:24I think we'll be fine.
16:26Oh, God, suck your face then.
16:27Make your head small.
16:28It's the wrong size.
16:29It's not my egg.
16:30All right, let's try this one.
16:31Go!
16:32Oh, Jesus Christ, Peter.
16:33That's two you've Humpty Dumpty'd.
16:35That's the last of the backup eggs.
16:36Let's not break any more eggs, people.
16:38I spilled soy on my suit.
16:39Oh, what, were you bathing in it?
16:41New policy, no more canapes.
16:42The media are going to be here soon.
16:44OK, everybody listen up.
16:46Just own eggs.
16:46You've got to put your own eggs on.
16:48We're doing our own eggs now, guys.
16:49We're not trained.
16:50No, we're not doing that.
16:51Where's Dominique?
16:52I don't know which one's Dominique.
16:53Has anyone seen Dominique?
16:55That one?
16:55OK, just take an egg.
16:57Dominique, put it on your head.
16:58Uh-uh, I'm joining the strike.
17:00Shut up, you scab.
17:01You're not joining the strike.
17:02Put an egg on it.
17:03It's easy.
17:04I remember when Papa took me to Paris.
17:07Oh, have I told you this one?
17:08Probably.
17:09But we love to hear it.
17:10Le Pige en est Moyenne today had just gone on tour,
17:14and the French were saying it was better than the original.
17:16Papa said to me, you will play this one day,
17:18and you will play it better than me.
17:21Yeah.
17:22Dominique.
17:23I want to speak to Margie.
17:25You're the star.
17:26We're here to support you.
17:28We're here to help you.
17:29Anything we can do.
17:30Christian.
17:31What the frick?
17:32I was demonstrating how easy it was to get on.
17:34Now it's stuck.
17:35It's suctioned on.
17:36I can't get it off without cracking.
17:37How do we...
17:38It's the last of the good eggs.
17:39OK, OK, OK.
17:40I'm just going to grab underneath.
17:41OK.
17:42Paul, I'm trying not to...
17:42Don't take my face with it and don't crack it!
17:46It's really sweaty in there.
17:48Who's in there?
17:49Dominique.
17:50Stage fright.
17:51Doesn't want to do the show.
17:52Won't do the photo shoot either.
17:54Oh, thank God.
17:55I'm starting to feel a bit better.
17:57You listen to me, Egg.
17:58You are contracted to take the stage at 7pm.
18:01If you fail to do so, I can and will sue you for damages.
18:04Get it?
18:05She's not going to...
18:07There's no one suing.
18:09Why would you do that?
18:10That's not helpful.
18:10Speak to Margie.
18:11OK, you go get Margie from the pub.
18:13I'll deal with Dominique.
18:14I'm not leaving the building like this.
18:16I'll deal with that.
18:17You get Margie.
18:18I can't deal with that.
18:19You're right, I'll get Margie.
18:20Dominique.
18:21Come on.
18:22Shit.
18:23Shit.
18:24Wonderful work on the floor today.
18:26Yeah, it felt so natural.
18:27Mum never let me do it.
18:29Oh my God.
18:31What?
18:32Oh, is this some sort of sick joke?
18:34Have you come here to rub an egg on our faces?
18:36According to the Industrial Relations Act, this strike is illegal.
18:39And Dominique has locked himself in a cupboard and refuses to come out.
18:42Sounds like it's a little disaster over there and you need me to come back.
18:45Not really.
18:46Oh, OK then.
18:47So, Ryan.
18:48Where did you, like, go to school?
18:50Just like...
18:51Fine.
18:52Yes, we need your help, please, Margie.
18:54I'll come back if you reinstate Jacob.
19:06Fabulous.
19:08You look excellent.
19:09Go, go, go.
19:10Ready?
19:11Go, go, go.
19:12You look fabulous.
19:13You're done, Denise.
19:15Just get it off.
19:17Ah!
19:17Not like that.
19:18You can't pull it.
19:19My face is stuck in it.
19:20I'm going to have to vest you up.
19:22What?
19:22I'm going to vest you up.
19:24Dominique, it's Margie.
19:25Come on.
19:26Yeah, come on.
19:27Come on out.
19:28You're going to be magnificent.
19:30Oh!
19:31Oh, I can feel it.
19:32It's giving.
19:32It's giving.
19:33Like, you'll step out there and you'll drop in and you'll say,
19:36I am the egg.
19:37Two.
19:38Here I am.
19:38Three.
19:39Ah!
19:41Oh!
19:42You're to a divorce.
19:43You're being magnificent.
19:44It's all in you already.
19:46Thank you, Donna.
19:46You're a valuable team member.
19:48That's the gift you give to the audience.
19:50You share yourself with them and then they feel less alone.
19:53I always say the right thing.
19:55Get yourself out there.
19:56Go on.
19:59That's how it's done.
20:03Is it good?
20:03Eyes this way.
20:05Over here.
20:06Over here.
20:06Okay, we are looking really good.
20:08But can we bring it closer together, please?
20:09Yes, powerful.
20:10That is good.
20:11Hold back still.
20:12Yes.
20:13There he is.
20:14Simone, are you with us?
20:16I'm good.
20:16It's your wake up.
20:18Wake up.
20:18Closer together.
20:19Like, presumably we all came from the same carton, right?
20:21So we love each other.
20:22That's raw egg intensity.
20:24Yes.
20:25Just jump in there.
20:26Now I've got a dinner to go to.
20:29Always here for the most important moments, Carmel.
20:32Okay, a quick photo with Carmel, everyone.
20:34Important photo with Carmel.
20:35Great.
20:36Good use of time.
20:39Oh, Jules.
20:41It's been a tough day for you, hasn't it?
20:43It's a bit of cross-purposing, but I think I turned it around.
20:46I just feel like this creative stuff, it's not for you.
20:50Why don't you just sign up on my budget, and then you can just drift away.
20:53Unfortunately for both of us, I'm here till we're back in the black.
20:56Okay.
20:57Okay.
20:57Oh.
20:58Fun day.
20:59Cheers.
21:00Julia.
21:00Oh, Carmel.
21:02Is that the wet look, is it?
21:04Just something I'm trying, yes.
21:05We're going to do the photo?
21:09Great caption for that would be,
21:11Industry heavyweight encourages more women than the others.
21:16What the hell is your son doing here?
21:19Ah, just dropping off my keys and some dry shampoo.
21:23For the hell, I hope you've changed all the passwords.
21:26I don't want him hanging around here.
21:27Oh, he won't be here, ever.
21:29Don't you worry, Carmel, everything is under control.
21:38So what's your favourite citrus?
21:40I'm just going to get you a water.
21:42Come on, come on, come with me.
21:44Just be strong about it.
21:46You know yourself better than anyone.
21:47Better than you.
21:48You only just met him this morning.
21:50Come on, Ryan.
21:51I need you to drive me home.
21:52Let's go.
21:52No, Mum.
21:53I've got something to tell you.
21:55Has your dad's foot turned up on a beach south of Sydney?
21:58No, Mum.
21:59I'm not going to the Gold Coast with Dad.
22:01Oh, that's great news.
22:02We can get back on track.
22:04Maybe you could do an MBA.
22:05I'm not going to the Gold Coast because...
22:07Yep.
22:09I'm a gay man and an actor.
22:11Sorry, what?
22:12It's about time you knew who I am.
22:14Yeah, I know you're gay.
22:15Who cares?
22:16But an actor?
22:17Oh, Ryan, I think I'm going to be sick.
22:19I've seen something profoundly beautiful in Ryan.
22:23Yeah.
22:23Margie said I'm like a big Greek guy.
22:26No, I said you're like a gift from the Greek gods.
22:27Like, yeah, that.
22:28And not only that, but she's cast me in her French play about a peasant.
22:32Mm, it's just a small role, but he has the quality I'm looking for.
22:36The tragic sum.
22:37No, this isn't happening.
22:39Unless the play doesn't happen for some silly reason like budgets.
22:43No.
22:44No, Mum, that wouldn't happen, would it?
22:45No.
22:46Because then you'd have to go to the Gold Coast with your dad.
22:50He sounds awful, doesn't he?
22:53Oh, Sticky.
22:56Oh, dear.
23:00Bring it up!
23:04What's we working?
23:08I'm a pez.
23:13Come on in, everyone.
23:15Leave your old selves at the door and embrace your inner clown.
23:18I've actually found my 40s to be my most sexually active.
23:22Marcella!
23:23Maggie!
23:25Mum reckons she's getting a big star.
23:28It's Caitlin Ella.
23:29What?
23:29Can you believe that?
23:29Caitlin, it's her sister.
23:31You know, I could have sold out to Hollywood.
23:33I've got to get rid of Julia.
23:34Oh, chickens, do you?
23:35Oh, enough chickens.
23:35Chickens, chickens.
23:36So here's the pitch.
23:37Chevy's Chickens sponsors the Argyle Theatre.
23:41I'm Julia McNamara.
23:42How much does that cost?
23:44I'm a corporate robot.
23:45Is that my suit?
23:49What's we working on here?
23:51I'm a bad, bad, bad, bad, bad, bad, bad, bad, bad, bad, bad.
23:53We're a baddest.
23:56We're a baddest.
23:58We're a baddest.
