06:20you see many urban Maori are prevented from accessing their land language ancestry history
06:27all thanks to language
06:28so you're marketing this to Maori who don't know Maori
06:32no not exclusively
06:33there's also a very very lucrative secondary market of Pākehā wanting to connect with Maori

08:16we from infinite
08:17where can we go
08:18there
08:18you
08:18you
08:41yeah
08:54I have the most common style, but I'm not sure how to build a strong value of this is
08:55I don't think these are some types of elements that are related to this
08:55But that's not true
08:57That's how it's created
08:58I think these are sometimes things that we're going to create
09:04But it's the most common style of features
09:12I think the most durchaus of the unique style is that we're interested in
09:12You're following me into the toilet already.
09:14I thought we'd be fucking at the end of the night.
09:17Why are you stealing toilet paper?
09:20Because I don't have any.
09:23Are you okay?
09:24Why? Because I have no money and no manners?
09:44Yeah. I'm fucking great.
09:48Thanks for asking.
10:00We sing and we're not sure why it feels so good.
10:04We dance and somehow...
10:05Haven't you printed it out? Am I supposed to?
10:07No, it's fine. It's not like a rule.
10:09It's just that most people read from their books.
10:11Well, I don't have a book, Emily. I've written one fucking poem.
10:13Sorry, I just...
10:14I don't remember.
10:15I didn't make...
10:16But we dance until sunrise.
10:21Are you okay? Of course.
10:23You won't find this next act in your program
10:26because we didn't even know she existed until, like, literally two days ago
10:31when she became New Zealand's own literary Banksy.
10:35After posting an anonymous recording on TikTok,
10:39which has now been viewed over 100,000 times,
10:42it is my great pleasure
10:44to introduce the surprise headline act
10:48performing her searing, shocking, deeply personal debut poem, Head Girl.
10:55Please...
10:57Welcome...
10:58Florence Sedler.
11:07That's Flo, actually.
11:09And I wouldn't say deeply personal.
11:10I mean, the girl in this poem is, like, comprehensively fucked up, so...
11:14Anyway.
11:16She used to be head girl of her high school, and now she is a massive cunt.
11:28Her high school boyfriend told her about her secretion on a berm.
11:33The berm was in Karori, where 35% of berms are.
11:38She burst into tears with real human efficiency.
11:42And then she got depression, too.
11:45Out of empathy.
11:46Or FOMO.
11:48She got asthma the same way when she was five years old,
11:51kicking the back of the passenger seat.
11:53Me, too, actually.
11:54I have that, too.
11:59Oh.
12:17Oh.
12:18Oh, fuck.
12:21Go, river, go.
12:23To oceans seek your certain end.
12:26Rise again to cloud.
12:28To a mountain.
12:30To a mountain drinking from a tiny cup.
12:33Ah, river.
12:35You are ocean.
12:36You are island.
12:49You are ocean.
12:50That's a lot of money.
12:53This is Dr. Kingy Thompson.
12:55He's one of my PhD supervisors.
13:03There we go.
13:05Impressive, isn't she?
13:06Yes.
13:07Yes, very impressive.
13:08Anyway, back to business.
13:09Sorry, I need to...
13:10Oh, I can talk with you if you go.
13:12Thank you so much for coming.
13:15It's all part of the job.
13:16Plus, can't let you hang out here or buy your brown self.
13:21Are you asking for too much money, do you think?
13:22No, our people shouldn't need to pay to access their language.
13:26Oh, no, no, no, they won't.
13:28See, we've got a strategy, eh?
13:29A two-pronged approach.
13:30So it'll be free access for iwi and a subscription service for businesses.
13:33Mm-hmm.
13:34So we just need investment to get us to market so we can actually pay back our investors and...
13:38Hey, excuse me.
13:39And...
13:39Sorry.
13:40Where are you going?
13:41Situation and...
13:42Hi.
13:43Excuse me.
13:44Do you mind?
13:45Hi.
13:46Hi.
13:47It's Julian, right?
13:48Yes.
13:49Do you know why your dad came up to talk to us earlier?
13:52Um, no.
13:53Because his last three resource consents were turned down by local iwi.
13:58Well, yeah, anyway, I just...
13:59I wanted to say that I...
14:00I get it.
14:02My mum's pretty hard to please, too.
14:04But I just wish I had a trust fund to take the pain away.
14:09It doesn't...
14:11Take the pain away.
14:13Oh.
14:15Well, I'm very sorry to hear that, Julian.
14:19Hey, I just had an idea.
14:22What if you invested in our app?
14:26Me?
14:27Oh, yeah.
14:29Imagine.
14:30Imagine how much it would help your father if he could stop his developments getting stalled by iwi protests.
14:36I mean, all it would take is some meaningful engagement.
14:39And perhaps through investment...
14:44Well...
14:45Nah, it was a rescue hedgehog.
14:46You know, it's kind of cruel to keep a wild animal in the bed.
14:50Just waiting until its cast comes off.
14:53How...
14:53How do you put a cast on a hedgehog?
14:56Pepe-meche.
14:57Bullshit!
14:58Hey.
14:59Who do you know here again?
15:01Sorry?
15:02Who did you come with?
15:05Oh, yeah.
15:06Go dance.
15:11Psycho.
15:22It's a bit rude, Hamish.
15:28You coming?
15:30You know who just got you kicked out?
15:32Was that on purpose?
15:34Or...
15:34No.
15:35I...
15:36I just asked him who you were.
15:39I'll save you a question.
15:42Hmm.
15:42Cool.
15:43Okay.
15:44Well, you're gonna stay at this amazingly average party?
15:48Or...
15:48Or...
15:48Come back to mine.
15:49So I can sit on your face.
16:04Here she is!
16:06Wow!
16:07You...
16:07We're phenomenal.
16:09Oh...
16:09You remember my friend Cara Beecham?
16:11Oh, of course.
16:13She's looking for passion projects.
16:14Now that she's retired.
16:16Haha.
16:17Turns out there's only so many paintings you can fit on them.
16:20Look.
16:21So are all your poems that good?
16:26Every single one.
16:27Well.
16:28That's it then.
16:29Haha.
16:30Let's have a meeting.
16:31Say, um...
16:32End of next week.
16:33And, um...
16:33We'll take it from there.
16:35Haha.
16:38Yay.
16:39I guess.
16:40Yay, indeed.
16:43Oh, God.
16:44Oh, God.
16:45Oh, God.
16:46I forgot my soul.
16:49Hey, Bob.
16:49How was the investor presentation?
16:51I bet you had loads of funding offers for your app, eh?
16:54Check you out.
16:56Taking a tattoo on to the world.
16:57How did you not say to Juliet?
17:01I know his type.
17:03I know.
17:03I was down at the pub last night.
17:05I was telling Big Matt that once your app launches, I'll be famous.
17:10Yeah.
17:11That egg taika might ask me to voice this next Hollywood movie after hearing my erotica.
17:16That'll make the fellas down here real jealous.
17:19I might even get a couple of free feeds out of it.
17:21And it all started with my clever daughter.
17:24I'm proud as, Bob.
17:25I can't wait to see my parents' faces when I pay them back.
17:29Wait.
17:30No.
17:30We're not using that money to...
17:32Oh, yeah, no, no, no.
17:32Yeah, yeah.
17:33I mean, like, you know, once we're raking it out, like, as well as the co-papa is, um...
17:38Hey, hey, hey, hey.
17:38Hey, listen to that.
17:41We're such a great team.
17:42Yeah.
17:50Is this okay?
17:51Yeah, of course.
17:55I just, you know, want to make sure we stay connected.
18:00Jared, we've been together since high school.
18:02I mean, we own a business together.
18:05And my mother rings you before she rings me.
18:08Well, she's a special woman.
18:10We could not be more connected.
18:13I guess I just don't want us to become victims of our own success, you know?
18:18I won't let that happen.
18:20Okay?
18:21Yeah.
18:23Now, I really have to get started on my thesis.
18:28Really?
18:29Do you have to?
18:3080,000 words aren't gonna write themselves.
18:37But I mean, I've got 30 minutes.
18:39Yeah?
18:40Yeah.
18:41We could go play Icarus.
18:44Oh.
18:45Yeah.
18:45Um, I might just go home.
18:48Okay.
18:49Well, if you need to.
18:51Oh.
18:53Right.
18:54See ya.
18:56Goodnight.
19:09Wait.
19:10Oh, sorry.
19:11Go and do it for me.
19:13No, no, no.
19:13I'm sorry.
19:15Um...
19:15Can we talk?
19:16Oh.
19:17That depends.
19:18Small or dirty.
19:21I'm...
19:21I'm married.
19:22Yeah.
19:23I know.
19:23So you ring.
19:24I...
19:25I don't do this.
19:26Oh.
19:27Just pretend like you're masturbating.
19:30But my vag is your hand.
19:32Don't do that either.
19:33Don't do that either.
19:38Well...
19:40Um...
19:43I knew you weren't lying.
19:47Oh, I'm lying.
19:50Oh, I'm lying.
19:58Be okay.
19:59Oh, I'm lying.
20:14What?
20:18The way you behave.
20:22You're exceptional.
20:28I mean, yeah.
20:31Pretty exciting.
20:32No, I didn't say exciting.
20:34I said exceptional.
20:52I should go.
20:53Yeah.
20:54Yeah, damn right you should.
21:13Sorted.
21:15What?
21:16Do you want a pie?
21:18Seems so chill.
21:19Have I just been given, like, a few days to write, what, 50 poems?
21:2450?
21:24Look, I know you're a superhuman.
21:26Look, I can't help being a go-getter.
21:28Why don't you just tell your mum that you need a bit more time?
21:30I'm fine.
21:33Are you sure, are you sure you're okay?
21:36I mean, people were worried when you went AWOL.
21:39Well, people are idiots.
21:42Do you want to brainstorm some ideas?
21:45I could come over and...
21:46No.
21:47The people aren't livid.
21:50We have nothing in common.
21:52Why not?
21:54They're just fucked.
21:55Fragile.
21:56Like, I try to avoid them.
21:58Well, why are they fucked?
21:59It's nice to see you, Emily.
22:00Oh, okay.
22:01See you.
22:02Bye.
22:04Well, hello there, stranger.
22:07Fuck yeah.

22:31Okay, I'm not getting around.
22:34I just go around.
22:35I just go around.
22:36I just go around and around.
22:39They will leave them hiding from me.
22:42Come on, Agent!
22:49Let's do this, my dreams!
22:50That's where you are.
22:53That's not right.
