I have a wonderful, gorgeous, fabulous date.
- Who is? - Tim.
Is it the North or South Island he owns? - [ Cork Pops .]
- [ Both Squeal and Laughs .]
I'm thinking about getting christened.
What? I've been reading up on it.
It's so beautiful.
Have you been christened? I don't wanna live with a Christian, Tippi.
No, Mel, that's not why I'm doing it.
I thought it might be a good angle for me at work.
You don't have to get christened to create an angle.
Just call yourself 'Mary'.
I quite like the 'dunking your head in the water' thing.
[ Mobile Phone Rings .]
Mmm - Hello.
- Hi! - TIM: Hi.

You wanna be with me, you make it easy, Tim.
[ Ends Call .]
[ Scoffs .]

[ Loud Live Rock'N'Roll Music Plays .]
JAMIE: Guys, guys, guys, listen.
I appreciate it.

ALL: Ohh! Guys Thank you.
Excuse me.
Excuse me.
[ Crowd Hubbub .]

He's into young boys with no body hair and no brains.
That's a shame.
He's a bit cute.
You've got Johnny.
You know I don't like really famous, Jamie.
I wouldn't give him to you just because he's really famous.
- You're just right for him.
- Oh, really? You ready? Let's rock'n'roll.
You the girl? I guess I am.
Wait here, please.

Up-front.
Thank you.
You know, you're quite pretty, really.
- Do you enjoy your job? - Yes.
- Really? - Really.
Go on.
Tell him I'm ready.
You're pretty gorgeous, aren't you? But I'm all dirty on the inside.
- Drinking? - Sure.
Champagne, please.
How about? Oh, good.
Cheap sparkling.
Guess you're just gonna have to slum it, aren't you? Not in this outfit.
Well, let's think about getting rid of the outfit.
[ Laughs .]
Fast, fast.
Well, things just got a whole lot better.
How bad could they be? I think I like you.
Do you wanna be with me? I only have sex with really famous people, Johnny.
I am.
I promise.
- No, I don't think so.
- [ Laughs .]
Oh, man, you are a gift.
I like women that know what they want.
So, what are your wants? Hmm.
What, you're not gonna tell me? - I won't.
- [ Groans .]
What do you like, Johnny? Huh? What do you like? - I like going down on women.
- [ Giggles .]
That's what I like.
[ Laughs .]
What else do you like? What do you think about the dark side of nature? I'm not scared of it.
I don't like repressing the dark side of my nature.
[ Laughs .]
I bet you don't.
[ Giggles .]
And I don't want you repressing yours.
Oh - Do you trust me? - Should I? I wouldn't.
TIPPI: Mel, do you still wanna be woken up for yoga? - [ Gasps .]

Thanks.
WOMAN: Flex to stretch your spine.
Draw your shoulders down into your back.
Lengthen up.
- Mel! - What? It's so extreme.
Oh, yeah, well, it shows off the back of my neck.
One of my better qualitites.
- It's her unpredictable streak.
- Is that what you call it? - Are you OK? - Yeah, of course.
Why wouldn't I be? OK Eyes closed, clearing all thoughts.
Gently rolling back through the wrist [ Groans .]
[ Mobile Phone Rings .]
Oh, shit, I'm so fucking deaf.
[ Beeps Keypad, Sighs .]
Fuck it! Wrong number? Nah, it's my wife.
She's fucking with my head.
Fuck it! Fuck it! [ Johnny Dials Number .]
[ Dial Tone .]
[ Woman's Voice Message Plays Softly .]
You're right - the more you repress shit, the more it just fucks you up.
Still, it's better than being out of control.
It's all about that, isn't it? It's all about control.
- What the fuck do you want from me?! - Nothing.
You're smart, aren't you? Well, I don't usually like that.
She's angry with me.
My wife.
'Cause I'm a fuck-up.
'Cause I keep doing stupid shit and I do it all the time, like having sex with other sleazy fuck-ups.
- Hate me now? - No.
- [ Sighs .]
- I did before, though.
Tell me something.
Why don't you tell your wife something? No, why don't you tell me something? Truth.
Tell me Just tell me something about you.
Something that you wouldn't tell anyone else.
Ohh Ohh [ Grunts and Pants .]
I'm in love with someone.
Alright, what do you love about him? - 'Cause he's rich? - No.
- How often do you see him? - He's here at the moment.
Well, why aren't you with him tonight? 'Cause I wanted to hang out with you, Johnny.
[ Both Grunt .]
There is a seed of fuckin' evil in me.
I can see that.
And I'm gonna need to liberate that seed.
- What's your name? - Mel.
- No, it's not.
What's your real name? - What do you want it to be? [ Laughs .]
Who the fuck are you? [ Whispers Indistinctly .]

- It's OK.
I'm just resting my eyes.
OK.
- [ Sings Quietly .]
- What are you so happy about? Hmm it's Thursday.
And? And Thursdays remind me of being a kid and eating sherbet.
[ Laughs .]
What's this? Nothing.
I'm just doing some research.
Are you thinking about becoming a Christian? No! I'm just I just wanna be baptised.
There's nothing wrong with a ritual.
What, you wanna cleanse your soul? Why do you wanna be baptised? Both my brothers were and not me.
We're all a bit messed up, Tippi.

- What? Why do you want to cut off your beautiful hair? Because I can.
- Has something happened? - No.
I don't understand.
Your clients know you with this hair.
I don't care, Paolo.
What, you need to change suddenly? Just cut my hair.
Sorry.
Can see the little girl in you today.
You should stop being so controlling with your clients, Paolo.
They might not want you anymore.
[ Half-Laughs .]
Are you leaving? We had this conversation last night.
Can you remind me? I have to go back and sort out your telephone comment.
The room's booked for another week.
You can stay.
Are you punishing me? I think you did a pretty good job of that yourself last night.
Sorry.
- What? - I'm sorry.
Now can you stay? No, I have to go back and sort something else out as well.
- Right, so you would've left anyway.
- You should stay.
And do what? I don't know.
You made quite a few new friends last night.
You want me to fly someone over? No.
I just want you to stay.
I can't.
I'm sorry.
I'm I'm so sorry.
I was really terrible last night, wasn't I? - Do you hate me? - No, Mel, I don't hate you.
That means you don't like me.
No, it means that you're pretty bloody impossible.
- I'm such a fuck-up! - Why? I don't know why! [ Laughs Bitterly .]
I think fuck-ups are more interesting or something.
No, you see, the problem is that I can't.
I don't trust you.
Tim, please don't go.
Please don't go.
Please, please don't go.
I'm I'm gonna be in Melbourne in a couple of weeks.
I'll take you out on a date.
The 14th.
Keep it free.
Tim? [ Mel Sobs .]
- Hello.
- TIPPI: Hello.
For you.
Thanks.
You'll get computer eyes.
You working? No.
Oh, you just like donating money to the beauty parlour.
[ Slaps Behind .]
You should try to look for the hidden slob within.
I have a wonderful, gorgeous, fabulous date.
- Who is? - Tim.
Is it the North or South Island he owns? - [ Cork Pops .]
- [ Both Squeal and Laughs .]
I'm thinking about getting christened.
What? I've been reading up on it.
It's so beautiful.
Have you been christened? I don't wanna live with a Christian, Tippi.
No, Mel, that's not why I'm doing it.
I thought it might be a good angle for me at work.
You don't have to get christened to create an angle.
Just call yourself 'Mary'.
I quite like the 'dunking your head in the water' thing.
[ Mobile Phone Rings .]
Mmm - Hello.
- Hi! - TIM: Hi.
- Where are you? Uh, I'm just on my way in from the airport.
Oh, fantastic.
Do you want me to meet you at the restaurant, or Look, we're going to have to take a raincheck tonight.
Can we do tomorrow night? - No.
- Why? I'm busy tomorrow night, sorry.
Don't make this about something else.
[ Laughs .]
You're making it about something else, Tim.
I have to go.

Babe, where have you been? Waiting for your call, obviously.
OK, well, I've got someone for you.
I've got a big surprise.
Mmm.
Who? He's worth a lot of money.
Ooh, that's attractive.
OK.
What time? Look, get here at 11:00, alright? [ Clears Throat .]
[ Mobile Phone Rings .]
Stop ringing.
Yes, Tim? OK, I've changed my plans.
I I'm doing something else now.
You've organised something else in 35 seconds? Yes.
Come on, sweetheart.
I'm trying to What? Don't make it so hard.
You wanna be with me, you make it easy, Tim.
[ Ends Call .]
[ Scoffs .]

- You OK? Yeah, of course I am.
[ Loud Live Rock'N'Roll Music Plays .]
JAMIE: Guys, guys, guys, listen.
I appreciate it.
You've been fantastic, alright? But I'm sorry, Johnny will not be coming downstairs tonight.
ALL: Ohh! Guys Thank you.
Excuse me.
Excuse me.
[ Crowd Hubbub .]
- It's the drummer, isn't it? - Nup.
He's into young boys with no body hair and no brains.
That's a shame.
He's a bit cute.
You've got Johnny.
You know I don't like really famous, Jamie.
I wouldn't give him to you just because he's really famous.
- You're just right for him.
- Oh, really? You ready? Let's rock'n'roll.
You the girl? I guess I am.
Wait here, please.
- How would you like to get paid? - Oh, in cash, please.
Up-front.
Thank you.
You know, you're quite pretty, really.
- Do you enjoy your job? - Yes.
- Really? - Really.
Go on.
Tell him I'm ready.
You're pretty gorgeous, aren't you? But I'm all dirty on the inside.
- Drinking? - Sure.
Champagne, please.
How about? Oh, good.
Cheap sparkling.
Guess you're just gonna have to slum it, aren't you? Not in this outfit.
Well, let's think about getting rid of the outfit.
[ Laughs .]
Fast, fast.
Well, things just got a whole lot better.
How bad could they be? I think I like you.
Do you wanna be with me? I only have sex with really famous people, Johnny.
I am.
I promise.
- No, I don't think so.
- [ Laughs .]
Oh, man, you are a gift.
I like women that know what they want.
So, what are your wants? Hmm.
What, you're not gonna tell me? - I won't.
- [ Groans .]
What do you like, Johnny? Huh? What do you like? - I like going down on women.
- [ Giggles .]
That's what I like.
[ Laughs .]
What else do you like? What do you think about the dark side of nature? I'm not scared of it.
I don't like repressing the dark side of my nature.
[ Laughs .]
I bet you don't.
[ Giggles .]
And I don't want you repressing yours.
Oh - Do you trust me? - Should I? I wouldn't.
TIPPI: Mel, do you still wanna be woken up for yoga? - [ Gasps .]

Thanks.
WOMAN: Flex to stretch your spine.
Draw your shoulders down into your back.
Lengthen up.
- Mel! - What? It's so extreme.
Oh, yeah, well, it shows off the back of my neck.
One of my better qualitites.
- It's her unpredictable streak.
- Is that what you call it? - Are you OK? - Yeah, of course.
Why wouldn't I be? OK Eyes closed, clearing all thoughts.
Gently rolling back through the wrist [ Groans .]

Fuck it! Wrong number? Nah, it's my wife.
She's fucking with my head.
Fuck it! Fuck it! [ Johnny Dials Number .]
[ Dial Tone .]
[ Woman's Voice Message Plays Softly .]
You're right - the more you repress shit, the more it just fucks you up.
Still, it's better than being out of control.
It's all about that, isn't it? It's all about control.
- What the fuck do you want from me?! - Nothing.
You're smart, aren't you? Well, I don't usually like that.
She's angry with me.
My wife.
'Cause I'm a fuck-up.
'Cause I keep doing stupid shit and I do it all the time, like having sex with other sleazy fuck-ups.
- Hate me now? - No.
- [ Sighs .]
- I did before, though.
Tell me something.
Why don't you tell your wife something? No, why don't you tell me something? Truth.
Tell me Just tell me something about you.
Something that you wouldn't tell anyone else.
Ohh Ohh [ Grunts and Pants .]

- How often do you see him? - He's here at the moment.
Well, why aren't you with him tonight? 'Cause I wanted to hang out with you, Johnny.
[ Both Grunt .]
There is a seed of fuckin' evil in me.
I can see that.
And I'm gonna need to liberate that seed.
- What's your name? - Mel.
- No, it's not.
What's your real name? - What do you want it to be? [ Laughs .]
Who the fuck are you? [ Whispers Indistinctly .]
Hey, Mel - [ Gasps .]

I'm just resting my eyes.
OK.

- What are you so happy about? Hmm it's Thursday.
And? And Thursdays remind me of being a kid and eating sherbet.
[ Laughs .]
What's this? Nothing.
I'm just doing some research.
Are you thinking about becoming a Christian? No! I'm just I just wanna be baptised.
There's nothing wrong with a ritual.
What, you wanna cleanse your soul? Why do you wanna be baptised? Both my brothers were and not me.
We're all a bit messed up, Tippi.

Hey, would you call come if I got baptised? We could do it now.
I could throw my drink on you.
Alex could say a few words.
ALEX: No, no.
We could do this properly.
It's not something to be taken lightly.
It's a a ritual, a significant moment.
It's like if you, er if you light a candle in a church.
It's gotta mean something even if you're not religious.
I mean, baptism's just the same.
Hey, um, Alex, could you say the words? Could you do the ceremony? [ Laughs .]
Tippi, I'd be honoured.
- Yes! - [ Laughs .]
Hi, it's Mel.

Yeah, I turned it off.
So, what did you really do? - When? - Wednesday night.
[ Groans .]
You don't really want to be with me, do you? What are you talking about? All I did was ask you what you did Wednesday night.
Oh.
Do you want to know? - Yes.
- Really? I paid someone, Mel.
Does that upset you? Achilles, take his bags out of the car.
Is that what you really want? Yes, Tim.
That's what I really want.
Go.
Please.
Alright.
Where do you wanna go? Take me where there's people.
[ Groans .]
I'm gonna say a few words, OK? Alright.
Just one moment.
[ Clears Throat .]
To be baptised is to be saved.
To be saved, we know, is nothing else, than to be delievered from sin, death and the devil and to enter into the kingdom of Christ and live with him forever.
Amen.
