Daisy!
Daisy!
It's gonna be OK.
Mommy.
Don't die,
please don't die.
The girls are gonna be
waiting for me.
Come on. You can't leave me
like that.
Leave you?
I'm
going to be late.
So be late.
I can't.
Sure you can.
They'll kill me.
Go then, I'm not stopping you.
Come on, just quick.
We're not supposed to be open
for ten minutes.
Right.
Sorry about that.
Nothing sells homes
like the smell of fresh coffee.
And bum prints
on the kitchen bench.
See you tomorrow?
Please.
(PHONE RINGS)
What?
Hey, it's me.
I'm
just running a bit late.
There's a surprise.
Yeah, well we can't all
have our daily lives organised
by
A personal assistant.
Whist is it now,
a tuckshop catastrophe?
This kind of thing
does not happen everyday.
Thank god for that.
Then don't go.
We'll
survive without you.
What, so you can have her
all to yourself?
I'm right behind you.
Just wait for me at the gate.
Or I'll
never speak to you again.
You need to stop making
promises you can't keep. Bye.
I think she's dead.
Don't say that.
Olivia, are you dead?
No, today I am very much alive.
Have you done something different?
You look gorgeous.
Do you think so?
Yeah.
Even in gumboots.
Hello darling.
Thank you for coming, both of you.
Don't be an idiot.
It's
the best day of the year.
Here.
Come on, you two.
This so beautiful.
I might
just stay here forever.
We
Should have a drink.
A toast.
Happy Cancer-versary.
Happy
Cancer-versary!
Cancer
can fuck right off.
Fuck off, cancer.
Yeah! Three years!
I'm so glad I didn't die.
I would have really missed you two.
What is that?
In the vines.
I didn't tie that there?
What have you two cooked up?
Maybe we should just do
what it says.
Or maybe we should just
stay here and drink.
Olivia.
I love you.
Will you marry me?
Yes!
Mum!
What she said.
Did you know?
Thank you.
Firstly, I just wanna
thank all of you
for being here today and managing
to keep this a secret.
I know more than a few of you would
have found that a serious challenge.
You
know who you are.
In my line of work you see
all kinds of relationships
and you quickly learn how
to recognise the good ones.
So I am uniquely qualified
to say that
what Olivia and I have
is rare and special.
When we first met,
I had nothing, was nothing.
Now I have it all.
Speech, speech!
Olivia, speech!
Alright, but I don't have
anything prepared.
Clearly.
So.
Thanks to everyone,
for everything, forever. That's it.
Melanie and Saskia, I can't believe
you two were in on this.
Melanie's been my first best friend
since primary school and Saskia,
Saskia, is actually, the reasons
we're standing here today.
When I went into treatment
and the winery was struggling
Saskia came on-board as an investor.
She literally rescued
Cotterill Wines.
And Alex.
You were supposed to be a one night
stand but I couldn't get rid of you.
Alex, I feel like I've put you
through one of the worst things
a couple can deal with.
And we're not even married yet.
I feel blessed everyday
to be with you.
That I'm still here.
I love you so much.
To Olivia and Alex.
ALL: To Olivia and Alex.
I wish your Mum was still alive.
I would have liked her
to have been here.
She would have
loved you. Not for me, for you.
But you have my Mum and Dad now.
I'll take your Mum, but your
dad, you can have him.
He loves you more than me.
Shit sorry.
I snuck
away for a smoke.
You should go,
we're gonna talk about you now.
OK.
Nice speech.
You know you should have
finished the law.
I'm doing what I love.
I wish you hadn't told
everyone about the money.
It was
supposed to be between us.
It was a small fortune
and you saved us.
That's bollocks.
I love you.
You know that, right?
Yeah, OK, right.
Alex told
me you two were down here.
Show me the ring.
Oh my gosh, are you gonna
knock yourself out
in
Your sleep with that?
It's so beautiful.
So?
So what?
Do I even have to ask?
Bridesmaids?
As if I'd ask anyone else.
You're gonna look great
in meringue.
So will you. No.
Yes.
Oh, we are going to make
the best bridesmaids ever.
We're gonna be so
glamorous. No.
Don't be grumpy,
Saskia.
You
don't have a choice.
Please, come on, for me.
You know I don't
believe in it.
I can't imagine shagging the same
person for the rest of my life.
You couldn't shag the same
person for the rest of the week.
Melanie, tell her.
You and Michael still go at it
like rabbits right?
Oh,
that's a face of details. Go on.
What is it?
Nothing.
When I was a kid I would have
killed for a teddy bear like that.
Bet you were cute back then.
I
Was a little pudgy.
But look at you now.
You're sexy as all hell.
Let me look at you.
Hey, don't tease me.
No, really! You are.
Look, I'll show you.
Dance for me.
I'm
not doing to do that.
Come on. You should see yourself,
how I see you.
I'll delete it straightaway.
I promise.
Promise?
Promise.
That's it. Yeah.
You're amazing.
Come closer.
Wow.
You are so fucking hot.
Is
That what you wanted?
See, I told you.
Oh my gosh. Can you delete
that? No, no, no.
Delete it.
Fine.
There. Done.
Hey mum.
Mummy! We're home!
Mummy, mummy!
My babies!
Did you have a good time?
Yeah.
I'm so jealous.
But it's heaps better
when we all go.
Did you miss us?
Of course!
Right. Let's get daddy a beer.
That's actually cold.
So, Christoff.
How many have we got in executive
positions at Weld Holdings.
Not enough,
you're right.
I told
you she is ferocious.
You
want her on your side
I'm not having a go. OK.
It's just law is the worst.
On average, female lawyers are in
60% less that their counterparts.
And here we are,
supposed to be the champions
of antidiscrimination laws.
Well, you can see your account
is in good hands with Saskia.
She's our
brightest and our best.
Thank you, Julia.
And I get up to
60% less than a man.
Well, then you should be
the one picking up this bill
I still
have some work to do.
I'm entrusting Christoff
to you, Saskia.
Good night.
Night.
Saskia, you handled our Griffin
Brooke deformation case?
I did.
I'm tiding up the mess
left by my predecessor.
But I'm missing the paperwork
for the settlement.
I know we sent it over.
No doubt.
Can you send another copy
to my office
Of course. I just hope
it hasn't been archived, yet.
Yeah,
let's hope not.
Shit.
Let's elope.
Don't tell anyone,
just come back married.
What's the hurry?
We've only just got engaged.
I know but I wanna marry you, now.
Haven't we always talked about
wanting a big all-in family wedding?
Me in a tux,
you in a big dress
embarrassing speeches,
the Macarena.
That's very traditional,
Mr Blake.
Someone
almost said romantic.
OK,
big one wedding it is, then.
But
no long engagement.
(DOOR BUZZING)
I've got an early start, tomorrow.
Right. Me too.
Night Daise.
Night Mum.
Make sure you turn that phone
off. Whatever.
Big Koala gives Little Koala
a giant koala hug.
What do you love me more than?
BOTH: I love you
more than gum leaves!
'Cause gum leaves are the best,
aren't they, mummy?
They sure are.
Mummy?
Yes baby.
Next time we go on holiday,
can you come too?
Sometimes
Mummy has to work.
I'll come
to work and help you then.
I love you,
munchkin.
You sleep well, OK.
(PHONE RINGS)
Hello.
I was just thinking about you.
Hi.
Umm, I'm just calling,
it's been wonderful,
really, but umm, I
don't think I can see you anymore.
Oh. OK.
That's a shame, I was just thinking
how much I like you.
I'm sorry.
It doesn't have to be
a full on thing.
We could see each other
when you want.
That would be fun
but I just can't.
I'm sorry, I should have told
you, but I'm married.
I just
can't do this anymore.
Hello?
It's alright, Mel.
You stepped out on your husband
and now you're having
buyer's regret.
Let's talk about it in the morning.
I have to go. Bye.
I'm happy you are back.
Me too.
Now what do I like on Netflix
that you're going to fall asleep to?
(PHONE BUZZES)
Olivia changed her mind
yet? Not yet.
I've given her the standard
three-day cooling off period.
OH,
just like buying a fridge.
You know you really did
put her on the spot like that.
Made it impossible
for her to say no.
Never
going to happen.
Good dancing by the way.
You've gone viral.
I told Melanie I'd kill her
if that ended up online.
Justifiable homicide
if I ever heard it.
I heard you're going to
the Weld Holdings dinner with Julia.
Jealousy's such an
ugly colour on you, Alex.
She's got us
both pegged for Partner.
And yet, I'm the only one
she took to dinner.
Hmm,
I'm off to Sydney for the day.
You don't deserve her,
you know.
Hey. Big weekend?
Here are those witness statements
you were after,
and docs that Will Edwards sent.
Thanks.
Nice moves by the way.
Smoking.
Another fox?
It was in agony.
Put it out of its misery.
Councillor
baiting them again.
Not a pleasant way to go.
Your
Tempranillos love it here.
They'll look
gorgeous come Spring.
It won't be Spring, Mum.
We've decided to get married sooner.
Oh. How soon?
Two months.
I know it's tight but we really
don't want to wait.
God. Well, I suppose
we can do a winter wedding.
We can have an open fire,
and serve the big red.
It'll be different.
But still beautiful.
It'll be bloody freezing
is what it'll be.
What's
all the hurry?
Once you've made
the decision, why wait?
Something in mind
I should know about?
I just really want to
start my married life now.
Mummy,
mummy. Is that doll for me?
Wow.
I couldn't resist.
How
much did that cost?
Actually, forget it.
Why do I always
have to be the bad guy?
Daisy, come on.
You'll be late for school.
I've been very impressed
with your work over the past year.
Well, it's nice to know
I'm appreciated.
I'm making
you my personal project.
But, be warned, when I put
the ladder down for another woman,
I expect
her to be able to step up.
I guess I should stop wearing
heels to the office, then.
Don't let me down.
You know, Julia. I'll see you
back at the office.
Alright.
Shit.
(PHONE RINGS)
Hey.
Olivia.
Hey, I'm doing bridesmaid
duties.
You?
Yes. Against every fibre of my being
I am organising
the bridal shower.
It's all the usual suspects.
I was just wondering Nicole,
your lovely cancer nurse
would you want her there?
Yeah. It
would be great to see her.
She was really there for me
and Alex when we needed her.
Is she with someone?
Has she got a man?
I don't think so, why?
You interested?
No. Not me.
What is it with nurses'
uniforms? Relax, she's not my type.
But if you want her there,
she's definitely on my list.
OK? Just got to go. Bye.
Are you sure you've got
enough chicken thighs?
I can make them stretch
it's just a curry.
And we got ice cream.
Chicken ice cream?
Hey, where did you two
get your trolley license?
Sorry, Mate.
No worries.
Hey, Melanie. Hi.
Hi.
Jakob Novak.
Melanie came to our display village
for a sticky - Meybelle Homes.
You must be
..Michael,
the gardener.
Landscape gardener.
Must be great.
Outside all day,
working with your hands.
I spend all day chatting
to tyre kickers.
Present
company excluded.
We're not serious buyers.
You seemed pretty keen
on the marble bench.
No, not really.
Come on, I
saw the look on your face.
And that Master Suite.
And you must be
I'm
Daisy and this is Luci.
Well, we gotta go,
it was nice to see you again.
Great to see you.
Nice to meet you, Michael.
You too, Jakob.
He seems nice.
Yeah, that's his job
to seem nice.
Why were you
looking at display homes?
You guys were away.
A girl can dream, can't she?
Dream about what?
Uh, uh.
Girls, we need help
with the shopping.
I
Thought you liked our life.
I'm vegetarian. I'm
not carrying anything meaty.
Since when?
Welcome home everyone,
it's the dump we live in.
Michael!
Michie.
Yeah.
I forgot balsamic.
I'll be back in a minute.
OK.
Hey.
I don't have long.
Yeah.
To talk, Jakob.
We have to stop.
Yeah, well, you say that,
but I'm not sure you mean it.
I mean it.
I mean it.
The supermarket, you
..following me.
Following you?
Why
would I follow you?
I love my husband,
I told you that.
So, you're choosing the
gardener over me?
Yeah, I am.
Can you open the door, Jakob?
(SIGHS) Jakob,
can you open the door, please?
Can you please open the door?
Sorry, sorry,
it's just the child lock.
See you around,
Melanie.
Monogamy might be the social norm
but it's not natural.
We're
all hardwired to rut about.
That is rubbish.
Sex in a monogamous relationship
is heaps better.
You know each other,
and
They know exactly
how to push your buttons.
If they
can find your buttons.
That's a typically myopic
view from Saskia.
Alright then, you make your living
from failed marriages.
If monogamy is so great,
then why do people cheat?
People don't start out thinking
they're going to cheat.
They
usually arrive there
because they're unhappy
or neglected or bored.
I rest my case.
Why would you ever enter
into a contract
that you have no hopes
of delivering on?
That's bullshit.
There are temptations, sure,
but you don't give in to them.
Because you know how lucky you are.
Even if you don't have
a master suite.
I'm with Saskia.
Open relationships
are the way to go.
Your problem is that you're
the only one in the relationship
that knows it's open.
At least I'm not sneaking around
lying about who I'm sleeping with.
OK, now we're getting
relationship advice
from the one person
who's never actually had one.
Maybe so, but I promise you,
I've had more orgasms
than
all of you put together.
(LAUGHTER)
Mummy, I can't sleep.
Oh, Luce.
What's up, Luce?
Adults
are very noisy.
Will
you read me a story?
Aren't you like, 17?
Can't you read on your own?
No, I'm only five.
Five.
This is gonna be great,
OK.
ALL: See ya.
(LAUGHTER)
"Polly loves dolphins,
the sharks and the fish,
she wants
to be a marine biologist."
Oh, actually, you know,
this isn't bad.
It's much better that all
that princess bollocks.
You shouldn't be smoking
around kids.
It's
bad for their lungs.
Yeah, well
There's a whole world of shit
going down out there, Lucy, so
What kind of shit?
Luci!
Did you just say shit?
No wonder,
with Aunty Sass in charge.
Aunty Sass?
You're pissed.
And you're smoking a funny cigarette
in front of the child.
Aunty Sass is a bad influence.
OK, alright.
And they all lived
happily ever after.
The end. Good night.
Uh, I smell pot?
I need to talk to you,
Mr Monogamy.
You can't be serious? Nicole?
Give me that.
Oh, that's your evidence?
I ran into her in town
and we had a coffee.
I saw you together.
That wasn't coffee.
You're really doing this here?
Oh yeah,
'cause I'm the arsehole.
I don't know how
to make it any clearer.
I am not having an affair
with Nicole. Period.
I got close to her
when Olivia was sick
You lied about going
to Sydney.
I was going,
the case was adjourned.
It's like you want this to be true.
You've got an ulterior motive,
and we both know what it is.
Don't you try and turn
this round on me.
You're in love with her too.
You always have been.
God, your idea of sexuality
is so fucking binary.
You think that all women
are waiting for a pillow fight
so they can jump
their girlfriends' bones.
That's why you gave her
your inheritance.
That
was an investment.
Exactly.
You're expecting some sort
of return on your 200K.
Who's
going to tell her?
You or me?
If you really wanna accuse me
of something like this,
you want more than a photo, Saskia.
Party's out here.
You'd better be telling
the fucking truth.
I love it, Melanie.
It's beautiful.
Do you mind?
Absolutely.
(CAMERA SHUTTERS)
OK, let me see.
Don't make me look too Mumsy.
I'm sick of being just Coco's mum.
That one.
They're for you,
you lucky bitch.
For me?
What did
you do to deserve those?
Nothing.
I didn't realise Michael
was so romantic.
Neither did I.
You all have to try our first ever
vintage of Tempranillo.
Lovingly hand-grafted
and nurtured by yours truly.
If you like it,
we'll be serving it at the wedding.
And, if you hate it,
you're not invited.
Ah,
Olivia, that is really good.
Ah, you clever girl.
You
can fill me right up.
Nice name.
'Saskia'.
I
Didn't want any fuss.
You can be angry at me tomorrow.
I love it.
Makes me
wanna flamenco dance.
Nicole.
Saskia, hey.
Am I late?
I got her a vase, bit boring
Don't.
Sorry?
I know
about you and Alex.
What?
OK, it's over, years ago.
It is fucking true,
you cow.
Hey, what's wrong?
Nicole's
been fucking Alex.
But,
you were her nurse.
Nicole! It's
so great to see you.
Nicole's
just leaving.
She's sick.
Flu.
Umm, occupational hazard.
I catch everything.
It's understandable, really,
since you're so hands on.
She really
should be home in bed.
Yeah, I just wanted
to drop this off.
Thank you.
Feel better.
This is a terrible idea.
Maybe we should just let them
sort it out.
Don't be an idiot,
she's our friend.
And he's a good guy. Who's
done something awful.
Will
you stop defending him.
You lied to me,
you sack of shit.
Excuse me?
We spoke to Nicole.
With all due respect, Saskia,
this is none of your business.
This is
between Olivia and me.
But
it is our business.
We're her best friends
and we'll be the ones
picking
up the pieces.
What were you thinking, Alex?
I don't need to explain
myself to you two.
Oh, no, no. It's much better
that you explain yourself to Olivia.
"Sorry honey,
I was so full of grief
that I had to fuck
your cancer nurse.
You could have gone
for a run or something.
Now we're the ones who are going
to have to break the news to her
because
you're so bloody spineless.
Just keep out of it,
Saskia.
We're going wedding dress
shopping tomorrow.
So,
with all due respect, Alex,
either you man up
and tell her or I will.
This is such bollocks.
If Alex told her,
why hasn't she cancelled?
Maybe
she's forgiven him.
Don't be a fucking idiot.
Hello, ladies!
Hi.
Ready to shop?
Oh, look at that one.
It's gorgeous.
OK, we've got to tell her.
What if he's planning
to do it tonight?
After she's spent a mortgage
on a wedding dress?
It's
been three years,
maybe it's just better
not to tell her?
I'm sorry, what?
It's just going to cause
unnecessary pain.
Come on, you two. I need
some gushing over here, please.
That's
what we're here for.
Let's gush.
The gown
only arrived this week.
It's Spanish lace, the
type they make mantillas from.
I knew it was special.
Did you hear that guys?
It's Spanish. The lace.
You don't have to rush
your decision. We have time.
We
Could look around.
There are only
four of these in Australia.
Do
You feel like a princess?
I know I did.
You were a child bride.
She's a Queen.
Come on sweetheart,
show us.
It's perfect.
You're perfect.
It's official now, isn't it?
It's really happening.
You look
You look amazing.
I love it.
Whenever I pictured myself getting
married, this is exactly what I saw.
You don't have to buy the first
dress you try on, you know.
If it's perfect, you do.
All you
need is the perfect shoes.
What's with you two?
You've been acting weird
all morning.
No, nothing's wrong
Sweetie,
can I call you back?
Tell me what you really
think, Saskia.
I can always rely on you
for the truth.
Alex
had an affair with Nicole.
No.
Olivia!
Darling,
what's wrong?
Olivia, wait!
Wait!
Olivia!
Olivia!
Olivia!
What are you doing?
Where are you going?
Leave me alone.
Fucking Alex.
Olivia. Stop.
Don't
do anything stupid.
To late for that. She's running
through the garden court
in a wedding dress.
Alex?
Olivia, stop.
Alex Blake!
Olivia, wait.
Olivia.
Alex
Babe,
don't do this here.
I need to hear it from him.
He's done it again.
I reckon he might do a runner,
back to Singapore with the kids.
Good
luck getting custody then.
Someone's in trouble.
Nice.
Getting
ahead of the curve.
Filing for divorce
on the way to the church.
Alex
Olivia
I'm in an induced coma
and you're so heartbroken
you fuck my nurse?
It wasn't like that.
Can we go
Really? Tell me how it's
not exactly like that?
It was so long ago
A lapse that has absolutely no
bearing on where we are now.
Oh, a lapse.
So, let me explain properly,
just not here.
Just tell me why.
It was after your seizure.
We didn't think you'd make it.
I went to a bar near the
hospital and got wasted.
Nicole came in, saw I was a car
wreck and drove me home.
You're saying it
was a one-off?
It
Didn't mean anything.
How many times did it
not mean anything?
Alex?
Three times.
And jury's decided the
defendant completely fucked.
I wanted you to tell me
it didn't happen.
I found the perfect dress with a
Spanish lace.
You
need to get her out of here.
I need to get drunk.
Really, really drunk.
I'll get the car.
Olivia
Doing that here was your
idea, was it?
Yeah, 'cause this is
all my fault.
Wow,
that was full on.
What
are you doing here?
Why?
Adultery can be
so destructive.
Daisy!
Daisy!
It's gonna be OK.
Mommy.
Don't die,
please don't die.
The girls are gonna be
waiting for me.
Come on. You can't leave me
like that.
Leave you?
I'm
going to be late.
So be late.
I can't.
Sure you can.
They'll kill me.
Go then, I'm not stopping you.
Come on, just quick.
We're not supposed to be open
for ten minutes.
Right.
Sorry about that.
Nothing sells homes
like the smell of fresh coffee.
And bum prints
on the kitchen bench.
See you tomorrow?
Please.
(PHONE RINGS)
What?
Hey, it's me.
I'm
just running a bit late.
There's a surprise.
Yeah, well we can't all
have our daily lives organised
by
A personal assistant.
Whist is it now,
a tuckshop catastrophe?
This kind of thing
does not happen everyday.
Thank god for that.
Then don't go.
We'll
survive without you.
What, so you can have her
all to yourself?
I'm right behind you.
Just wait for me at the gate.
Or I'll
never speak to you again.
You need to stop making
promises you can't keep. Bye.
I think she's dead.
Don't say that.
Olivia, are you dead?
No, today I am very much alive.
Have you done something different?
You look gorgeous.
Do you think so?
Yeah.
Even in gumboots.
Hello darling.
Thank you for coming, both of you.
Don't be an idiot.
It's
the best day of the year.
Here.
Come on, you two.
This so beautiful.
I might
just stay here forever.
We
Should have a drink.
A toast.
Happy Cancer-versary.
Happy
Cancer-versary!
Cancer
can fuck right off.
Fuck off, cancer.
Yeah! Three years!
I'm so glad I didn't die.
I would have really missed you two.
What is that?
In the vines.
I didn't tie that there?
What have you two cooked up?
Maybe we should just do
what it says.
Or maybe we should just
stay here and drink.
Olivia.
I love you.
Will you marry me?
Yes!
Mum!
What she said.
Did you know?
Thank you.
Firstly, I just wanna
thank all of you
for being here today and managing
to keep this a secret.
I know more than a few of you would
have found that a serious challenge.
You
know who you are.
In my line of work you see
all kinds of relationships
and you quickly learn how
to recognise the good ones.
So I am uniquely qualified
to say that
what Olivia and I have
is rare and special.
When we first met,
I had nothing, was nothing.
Now I have it all.
Speech, speech!
Olivia, speech!
Alright, but I don't have
anything prepared.
Clearly.
So.
Thanks to everyone,
for everything, forever. That's it.
Melanie and Saskia, I can't believe
you two were in on this.
Melanie's been my first best friend
since primary school and Saskia,
Saskia, is actually, the reasons
we're standing here today.
When I went into treatment
and the winery was struggling
Saskia came on-board as an investor.
She literally rescued
Cotterill Wines.
And Alex.
You were supposed to be a one night
stand but I couldn't get rid of you.
Alex, I feel like I've put you
through one of the worst things
a couple can deal with.
And we're not even married yet.
I feel blessed everyday
to be with you.
That I'm still here.
I love you so much.
To Olivia and Alex.
ALL: To Olivia and Alex.
I wish your Mum was still alive.
I would have liked her
to have been here.
She would have
loved you. Not for me, for you.
But you have my Mum and Dad now.
I'll take your Mum, but your
dad, you can have him.
He loves you more than me.
Shit sorry.
I snuck
away for a smoke.
You should go,
we're gonna talk about you now.
OK.
Nice speech.
You know you should have
finished the law.
I'm doing what I love.
I wish you hadn't told
everyone about the money.
It was
supposed to be between us.
It was a small fortune
and you saved us.
That's bollocks.
I love you.
You know that, right?
Yeah, OK, right.
Alex told
me you two were down here.
Show me the ring.
Oh my gosh, are you gonna
knock yourself out
in
Your sleep with that?
It's so beautiful.
So?
So what?
Do I even have to ask?
Bridesmaids?
As if I'd ask anyone else.
You're gonna look great
in meringue.
So will you. No.
Yes.
Oh, we are going to make
the best bridesmaids ever.
We're gonna be so
glamorous. No.
Don't be grumpy,
Saskia.
You
don't have a choice.
Please, come on, for me.
You know I don't
believe in it.
I can't imagine shagging the same
person for the rest of my life.
You couldn't shag the same
person for the rest of the week.
Melanie, tell her.
You and Michael still go at it
like rabbits right?
Oh,
that's a face of details. Go on.
What is it?
Nothing.
When I was a kid I would have
killed for a teddy bear like that.
Bet you were cute back then.
I
Was a little pudgy.
But look at you now.
You're sexy as all hell.
Let me look at you.
Hey, don't tease me.
No, really! You are.
Look, I'll show you.
Dance for me.
I'm
not doing to do that.
Come on. You should see yourself,
how I see you.
I'll delete it straightaway.
I promise.
Promise?
Promise.
That's it. Yeah.
You're amazing.
Come closer.
Wow.
You are so fucking hot.
Is
That what you wanted?
See, I told you.
Oh my gosh. Can you delete
that? No, no, no.
Delete it.
Fine.
There. Done.
Hey mum.
Mummy! We're home!
Mummy, mummy!
My babies!
Did you have a good time?
Yeah.
I'm so jealous.
But it's heaps better
when we all go.
Did you miss us?
Of course!
Right. Let's get daddy a beer.
That's actually cold.
So, Christoff.
How many have we got in executive
positions at Weld Holdings.
Not enough,
you're right.
I told
you she is ferocious.
You
want her on your side
I'm not having a go. OK.
It's just law is the worst.
On average, female lawyers are in
60% less that their counterparts.
And here we are,
supposed to be the champions
of antidiscrimination laws.
Well, you can see your account
is in good hands with Saskia.
She's our
brightest and our best.
Thank you, Julia.
And I get up to
60% less than a man.
Well, then you should be
the one picking up this bill
I still
have some work to do.
I'm entrusting Christoff
to you, Saskia.
Good night.
Night.
Saskia, you handled our Griffin
Brooke deformation case?
I did.
I'm tiding up the mess
left by my predecessor.
But I'm missing the paperwork
for the settlement.
I know we sent it over.
No doubt.
Can you send another copy
to my office
Of course. I just hope
it hasn't been archived, yet.
Yeah,
let's hope not.
Shit.
Let's elope.
Don't tell anyone,
just come back married.
What's the hurry?
We've only just got engaged.
I know but I wanna marry you, now.
Haven't we always talked about
wanting a big all-in family wedding?
Me in a tux,
you in a big dress
embarrassing speeches,
the Macarena.
That's very traditional,
Mr Blake.
Someone
almost said romantic.
OK,
big one wedding it is, then.
But
no long engagement.
(DOOR BUZZING)
I've got an early start, tomorrow.
Right. Me too.
Night Daise.
Night Mum.
Make sure you turn that phone
off. Whatever.
Big Koala gives Little Koala
a giant koala hug.
What do you love me more than?
BOTH: I love you
more than gum leaves!
'Cause gum leaves are the best,
aren't they, mummy?
They sure are.
Mummy?
Yes baby.
Next time we go on holiday,
can you come too?
Sometimes
Mummy has to work.
I'll come
to work and help you then.
I love you,
munchkin.
You sleep well, OK.
(PHONE RINGS)
Hello.
I was just thinking about you.
Hi.
Umm, I'm just calling,
it's been wonderful,
really, but umm, I
don't think I can see you anymore.
Oh. OK.
That's a shame, I was just thinking
how much I like you.
I'm sorry.
It doesn't have to be
a full on thing.
We could see each other
when you want.
That would be fun
but I just can't.
I'm sorry, I should have told
you, but I'm married.
I just
can't do this anymore.
Hello?
It's alright, Mel.
You stepped out on your husband
and now you're having
buyer's regret.
Let's talk about it in the morning.
I have to go. Bye.
I'm happy you are back.
Me too.
Now what do I like on Netflix
that you're going to fall asleep to?
(PHONE BUZZES)
Olivia changed her mind
yet? Not yet.
I've given her the standard
three-day cooling off period.
OH,
just like buying a fridge.
You know you really did
put her on the spot like that.
Made it impossible
for her to say no.
Never
going to happen.
Good dancing by the way.
You've gone viral.
I told Melanie I'd kill her
if that ended up online.
Justifiable homicide
if I ever heard it.
I heard you're going to
the Weld Holdings dinner with Julia.
Jealousy's such an
ugly colour on you, Alex.
She's got us
both pegged for Partner.
And yet, I'm the only one
she took to dinner.
Hmm,
I'm off to Sydney for the day.
You don't deserve her,
you know.
Hey. Big weekend?
Here are those witness statements
you were after,
and docs that Will Edwards sent.
Thanks.
Nice moves by the way.
Smoking.
Another fox?
It was in agony.
Put it out of its misery.
Councillor
baiting them again.
Not a pleasant way to go.
Your
Tempranillos love it here.
They'll look
gorgeous come Spring.
It won't be Spring, Mum.
We've decided to get married sooner.
Oh. How soon?
Two months.
I know it's tight but we really
don't want to wait.
God. Well, I suppose
we can do a winter wedding.
We can have an open fire,
and serve the big red.
It'll be different.
But still beautiful.
It'll be bloody freezing
is what it'll be.
What's
all the hurry?
Once you've made
the decision, why wait?
Something in mind
I should know about?
I just really want to
start my married life now.
Mummy,
mummy. Is that doll for me?
Wow.
I couldn't resist.
How
much did that cost?
Actually, forget it.
Why do I always
have to be the bad guy?
Daisy, come on.
You'll be late for school.
I've been very impressed
with your work over the past year.
Well, it's nice to know
I'm appreciated.
I'm making
you my personal project.
But, be warned, when I put
the ladder down for another woman,
I expect
her to be able to step up.
I guess I should stop wearing
heels to the office, then.
Don't let me down.
You know, Julia. I'll see you
back at the office.
Alright.
Shit.
(PHONE RINGS)
Hey.
Olivia.
Hey, I'm doing bridesmaid
duties.
You?
Yes. Against every fibre of my being
I am organising
the bridal shower.
It's all the usual suspects.
I was just wondering Nicole,
your lovely cancer nurse
would you want her there?
Yeah. It
would be great to see her.
She was really there for me
and Alex when we needed her.
Is she with someone?
Has she got a man?
I don't think so, why?
You interested?
No. Not me.
What is it with nurses'
uniforms? Relax, she's not my type.
But if you want her there,
she's definitely on my list.
OK? Just got to go. Bye.
Are you sure you've got
enough chicken thighs?
I can make them stretch
it's just a curry.
And we got ice cream.
Chicken ice cream?
Hey, where did you two
get your trolley license?
Sorry, Mate.
No worries.
Hey, Melanie. Hi.
Hi.
Jakob Novak.
Melanie came to our display village
for a sticky - Meybelle Homes.
You must be
..Michael,
the gardener.
Landscape gardener.
Must be great.
Outside all day,
working with your hands.
I spend all day chatting
to tyre kickers.
Present
company excluded.
We're not serious buyers.
You seemed pretty keen
on the marble bench.
No, not really.
Come on, I
saw the look on your face.
And that Master Suite.
And you must be
I'm
Daisy and this is Luci.
Well, we gotta go,
it was nice to see you again.
Great to see you.
Nice to meet you, Michael.
You too, Jakob.
He seems nice.
Yeah, that's his job
to seem nice.
Why were you
looking at display homes?
You guys were away.
A girl can dream, can't she?
Dream about what?
Uh, uh.
Girls, we need help
with the shopping.
I
Thought you liked our life.
I'm vegetarian. I'm
not carrying anything meaty.
Since when?
Welcome home everyone,
it's the dump we live in.
Michael!
Michie.
Yeah.
I forgot balsamic.
I'll be back in a minute.
OK.
Hey.
I don't have long.
Yeah.
To talk, Jakob.
We have to stop.
Yeah, well, you say that,
but I'm not sure you mean it.
I mean it.
I mean it.
The supermarket, you
..following me.
Following you?
Why
would I follow you?
I love my husband,
I told you that.
So, you're choosing the
gardener over me?
Yeah, I am.
Can you open the door, Jakob?
(SIGHS) Jakob,
can you open the door, please?
Can you please open the door?
Sorry, sorry,
it's just the child lock.
See you around,
Melanie.
Monogamy might be the social norm
but it's not natural.
We're
all hardwired to rut about.
That is rubbish.
Sex in a monogamous relationship
is heaps better.
You know each other,
and
They know exactly
how to push your buttons.
If they
can find your buttons.
That's a typically myopic
view from Saskia.
Alright then, you make your living
from failed marriages.
If monogamy is so great,
then why do people cheat?
People don't start out thinking
they're going to cheat.
They
usually arrive there
because they're unhappy
or neglected or bored.
I rest my case.
Why would you ever enter
into a contract
that you have no hopes
of delivering on?
That's bullshit.
There are temptations, sure,
but you don't give in to them.
Because you know how lucky you are.
Even if you don't have
a master suite.
I'm with Saskia.
Open relationships
are the way to go.
Your problem is that you're
the only one in the relationship
that knows it's open.
At least I'm not sneaking around
lying about who I'm sleeping with.
OK, now we're getting
relationship advice
from the one person
who's never actually had one.
Maybe so, but I promise you,
I've had more orgasms
than
all of you put together.
(LAUGHTER)
Mummy, I can't sleep.
Oh, Luce.
What's up, Luce?
Adults
are very noisy.
Will
you read me a story?
Aren't you like, 17?
Can't you read on your own?
No, I'm only five.
Five.
This is gonna be great,
OK.
ALL: See ya.
(LAUGHTER)
"Polly loves dolphins,
the sharks and the fish,
she wants
to be a marine biologist."
Oh, actually, you know,
this isn't bad.
It's much better that all
that princess bollocks.
You shouldn't be smoking
around kids.
It's
bad for their lungs.
Yeah, well
There's a whole world of shit
going down out there, Lucy, so
What kind of shit?
Luci!
Did you just say shit?
No wonder,
with Aunty Sass in charge.
Aunty Sass?
You're pissed.
And you're smoking a funny cigarette
in front of the child.
Aunty Sass is a bad influence.
OK, alright.
And they all lived
happily ever after.
The end. Good night.
Uh, I smell pot?
I need to talk to you,
Mr Monogamy.
You can't be serious? Nicole?
Give me that.
Oh, that's your evidence?
I ran into her in town
and we had a coffee.
I saw you together.
That wasn't coffee.
You're really doing this here?
Oh yeah,
'cause I'm the arsehole.
I don't know how
to make it any clearer.
I am not having an affair
with Nicole. Period.
I got close to her
when Olivia was sick
You lied about going
to Sydney.
I was going,
the case was adjourned.
It's like you want this to be true.
You've got an ulterior motive,
and we both know what it is.
Don't you try and turn
this round on me.
You're in love with her too.
You always have been.
God, your idea of sexuality
is so fucking binary.
You think that all women
are waiting for a pillow fight
so they can jump
their girlfriends' bones.
That's why you gave her
your inheritance.
That
was an investment.
Exactly.
You're expecting some sort
of return on your 200K.
Who's
going to tell her?
You or me?
If you really wanna accuse me
of something like this,
you want more than a photo, Saskia.
Party's out here.
You'd better be telling
the fucking truth.
I love it, Melanie.
It's beautiful.
Do you mind?
Absolutely.
(CAMERA SHUTTERS)
OK, let me see.
Don't make me look too Mumsy.
I'm sick of being just Coco's mum.
That one.
They're for you,
you lucky bitch.
For me?
What did
you do to deserve those?
Nothing.
I didn't realise Michael
was so romantic.
Neither did I.
You all have to try our first ever
vintage of Tempranillo.
Lovingly hand-grafted
and nurtured by yours truly.
If you like it,
we'll be serving it at the wedding.
And, if you hate it,
you're not invited.
Ah,
Olivia, that is really good.
Ah, you clever girl.
You
can fill me right up.
Nice name.
'Saskia'.
I
Didn't want any fuss.
You can be angry at me tomorrow.
I love it.
Makes me
wanna flamenco dance.
Nicole.
Saskia, hey.
Am I late?
I got her a vase, bit boring
Don't.
Sorry?
I know
about you and Alex.
What?
OK, it's over, years ago.
It is fucking true,
you cow.
Hey, what's wrong?
Nicole's
been fucking Alex.
But,
you were her nurse.
Nicole! It's
so great to see you.
Nicole's
just leaving.
She's sick.
Flu.
Umm, occupational hazard.
I catch everything.
It's understandable, really,
since you're so hands on.
She really
should be home in bed.
Yeah, I just wanted
to drop this off.
Thank you.
Feel better.
This is a terrible idea.
Maybe we should just let them
sort it out.
Don't be an idiot,
she's our friend.
And he's a good guy. Who's
done something awful.
Will
you stop defending him.
You lied to me,
you sack of shit.
Excuse me?
We spoke to Nicole.
With all due respect, Saskia,
this is none of your business.
This is
between Olivia and me.
But
it is our business.
We're her best friends
and we'll be the ones
picking
up the pieces.
What were you thinking, Alex?
I don't need to explain
myself to you two.
Oh, no, no. It's much better
that you explain yourself to Olivia.
"Sorry honey,
I was so full of grief
that I had to fuck
your cancer nurse.
You could have gone
for a run or something.
Now we're the ones who are going
to have to break the news to her
because
you're so bloody spineless.
Just keep out of it,
Saskia.
We're going wedding dress
shopping tomorrow.
So,
with all due respect, Alex,
either you man up
and tell her or I will.
This is such bollocks.
If Alex told her,
why hasn't she cancelled?
Maybe
she's forgiven him.
Don't be a fucking idiot.
Hello, ladies!
Hi.
Ready to shop?
Oh, look at that one.
It's gorgeous.
OK, we've got to tell her.
What if he's planning
to do it tonight?
After she's spent a mortgage
on a wedding dress?
It's
been three years,
maybe it's just better
not to tell her?
I'm sorry, what?
It's just going to cause
unnecessary pain.
Come on, you two. I need
some gushing over here, please.
That's
what we're here for.
Let's gush.
The gown
only arrived this week.
It's Spanish lace, the
type they make mantillas from.
I knew it was special.
Did you hear that guys?
It's Spanish. The lace.
You don't have to rush
your decision. We have time.
We
Could look around.
There are only
four of these in Australia.
Do
You feel like a princess?
I know I did.
You were a child bride.
She's a Queen.
Come on sweetheart,
show us.
It's perfect.
You're perfect.
It's official now, isn't it?
It's really happening.
You look
You look amazing.
I love it.
Whenever I pictured myself getting
married, this is exactly what I saw.
You don't have to buy the first
dress you try on, you know.
If it's perfect, you do.
All you
need is the perfect shoes.
What's with you two?
You've been acting weird
all morning.
No, nothing's wrong
Sweetie,
can I call you back?
Tell me what you really
think, Saskia.
I can always rely on you
for the truth.
Alex
had an affair with Nicole.
No.
Olivia!
Darling,
what's wrong?
Olivia, wait!
Wait!
Olivia!
Olivia!
Olivia!
What are you doing?
Where are you going?
Leave me alone.
Fucking Alex.
Olivia. Stop.
Don't
do anything stupid.
To late for that. She's running
through the garden court
in a wedding dress.
Alex?
Olivia, stop.
Alex Blake!
Olivia, wait.
Olivia.
Alex
Babe,
don't do this here.
I need to hear it from him.
He's done it again.
I reckon he might do a runner,
back to Singapore with the kids.
Good
luck getting custody then.
Someone's in trouble.
Nice.
Getting
ahead of the curve.
Filing for divorce
on the way to the church.
Alex
Olivia
I'm in an induced coma
and you're so heartbroken
you fuck my nurse?
It wasn't like that.
Can we go
Really? Tell me how it's
not exactly like that?
It was so long ago
A lapse that has absolutely no
bearing on where we are now.
Oh, a lapse.
So, let me explain properly,
just not here.
Just tell me why.
It was after your seizure.
We didn't think you'd make it.
I went to a bar near the
hospital and got wasted.
Nicole came in, saw I was a car
wreck and drove me home.
You're saying it
was a one-off?
It
Didn't mean anything.
How many times did it
not mean anything?
Alex?
Three times.
And jury's decided the
defendant completely fucked.
I wanted you to tell me
it didn't happen.
I found the perfect dress with a
Spanish lace.
You
need to get her out of here.
I need to get drunk.
Really, really drunk.
I'll get the car.
Olivia
Doing that here was your
idea, was it?
Yeah, 'cause this is
all my fault.
Wow,
that was full on.
What
are you doing here?
Why?
Adultery can be
so destructive.
