This is nice.
Yeah.
Col, is this nice? High-five?
Oh, good boy!
Do you think
he's smarter than most dogs?
No.
What?
No, I think everyone just thinks
their dog's really smart.
He is very smart.
I can see you've become
like a weird dog person.
Yeah, I'm feeling that too.
I don't know
if it's a good colour on you.
I think it's a great colour on me.
Nah.
Get on board.
I'm good.
Look at us, huh?
Yeah.
Like an old married couple.
Nice since the kids left.
Oh, my god, yeah.
Mm.
Can I say something?
I have a confession to make.
Yeah.
I never liked our kids.
Nor did I.
Nor did I.
Oh, my god, what a relief.
Yeah. (CHUCKLES)
What are you doing today?
Nothing, just day off.
Oh, I've got an appointment,
but otherwise nothing.
What kind of appointment?
Mm, just checking my iron
or something.
Ooh, what's wrong with it?
You got anaemia?
Nuh.
Hemochromatosis?
Look,
I know you're a medical student.
Mm.
Please don't use
large words over breakfast.
It's rude.
(WHISPERS) OK.
OK?
Can I still use your Ute?
Yeah.
Yeah, I've gotta get some stuff.
I mean,
Tyler's threatened to sell my shit.
I don't know, I should go.
Oh, well, the key's by the door.
This is yummy. Thank you.
You're welcome.
Thanks.
And thank you
for not murdering me while I sleep.
Well, not yet.
Don't make those jokes.
I don't know you well enough.
Sorry.
Nah, it's cool.
I'll murder you.
(CHUCKLES)
OK.
We'll see who gets there first.
OK.
(UP-TEMPO MUSIC)
(DOG WHINES)
Hello, little mate.
Do you wanna get in the bath?
Oh, stop it. Stop it. Stay there.
Oh, you cutie.
Here, boy.
Good boy.
Mmm.
No. Oh, fuck! Oh, fuck!
No, no, no, no, no, no, no.
Fuck. Please, no, no!
Oh, please no!
Oh! Fuck!
Oh, fuck!
(GROANS)
(THEME MUSIC)
Now, that bong water smell
will wash right out.
Oh, my god.
What the fuck!
Oh, the lady of the hour!
This is my stuff!
No, they're my records. Drop them!
Hey, no. Give me that.
Everyone, this garage sale's over.
No, no, no, this garage sale
is definitely not over.
I told you to come by yesterday.
You didn't.
You're actually
selling my shit, Tyler!
You're fucking unbelievable!
My sister's moving in.
My hands are tied.
You could have helped me
with this dog
and you didn't want to.
Correct.
Fuck me.
No, thanks.
Where are my shoes?
No, thanks.
Where are my shoes?
Drop that. Drop it!
Can you put that down!
Go. Go.
Thank you.
Run.
No, that is mine!
Get on the bike.
Get off the bike.
Quickly.
Don't drop ride the bike!
Absolutely not.
Faster don't
You're not getting this back.

(PHONE RINGS)
Oh, my what, sorry?
Hello, sorry? What? What?
Oh, lovely.
Hey, the review's coming out
tonight online
and tomorrow in print.
And Beckett wants a comment
from you about
what you were what was it,
"hoping to achieve" with Echo Park.
What was I hoping to achieve?
What's the vibe, is it OK?
Look, I don't think so.
It seems like the piece
is about how microbreweries
are destroying Sydney's old school
pub scene,
which are part
of our national identity,
yada-yada-yada,
gentrification sucks.
So, if you could kind of spin it
that that's not
what we're trying to do
or something?
Oh, fuck! Oh, sorry!
OK, I'll call you back.
Hey!
Gordon,
can you please come to the house?
I really need your help.
Yes, stay there. Don't move.
Thank you. Fuck!
(HORN HONKING)
That's my boogie board!
I actually don't use that.
Oh, god.
I'm so I'm so sorry.
It wasn't his to sell.
Oh, no, my wife's gonna love this.
Oh, will she?
But no, that's mine.
No, no, please
Please drop it.
Stop
Drop it. Give it to me.
Ashley!
What? Mum!
Why are you stealing
from the elderly?
Mum, what are you doing here?
Oh, what a greeting.
I'm Facebook friends
with Tyler, honey.
I saw my furniture for sale.
How much, sir?
No.
100?
No, this is my bed!
Mum, Tyler's insane.
Now, now!
You know he's bipolar.
I message him every are you OK Day.
Just move.
Just let me see
if I can talk to him.
Tyler? Tyler, sweetie?
You're looking good.
Hey, what's happening?
Hi. Oh, thank you for coming.
Is he selling your stuff?
Yes.
Just put this in the Ute, please.
This is criminal.
We should take photos
of all this stuff for evidence.
My camera's broken.
Should I use your phone?
No, it's fine.
I really just need your help.
OK, we should probably call
the cops anyway.
Can I borrow your phone?
No.
Can I borrow your phone?
No.
Please?
Why?
Just quickly.
Excuse me, that's not for sale.
That's not for sale.
Rude!
Ashley Marie, Tyler's cut us a deal.
We can have everything back for $260
and a nice dinner out.
I've suggested the Apollo.
It's fine, Mum.
Gordon's helping me.
Ooh! This is Gordon!
Hello.
Lynelle.
Very normal, Mum.
It's lovely to meet you.
I don't mean to be crass, Gordon,
but you appear to be more
in my swimming pool
than my daughter's.
(LAUGHS)
I'm not much of a swimmer, really.
Happy to teach you.
Ah!
Did Ashley tell you how young I was?
No.
No, well, she wouldn't, would she?
Oh, no!
I'm so sorry
No, ah, Peggy's taken a turn.
Oh. What?
Meggles's nan,
she's dying, and I've gotta go.
I've gotta go.
Oh, dear god. I'll come.
I'm a death doula.
No, she's not. She's not.
Yes, I am! All my friends die.
You keep making friends
with people who are dying.
That's different.
Death is my constant companion.
Death is my constant companion.
Tyler,
don't sell any more of my shit.
Mum paid for it already.
Should yep.
You follow me.
God, she's bossy, isn't she?
Yeah.
I'll text you the address.
No, no, don't do that.
Don't.
That's very, very dangerous.
I'll just follow.
OK.
You're not coming, Mum.
Thank you.
It's lovely to meet you, Mrs
You don't know
my daughter's surname, do you?
Oh, I don't, I'm afraid.
But you're sleeping together.
Ah, no, no we're not.
Oh, well, it's Molden.
Ah.
But I'm a Steinhart.
Oh, OK.
Well, lovely to meet you,
Mrs Steinhart.
It's Miss.
OK, well, alright, see you soon.
I hope so.
Yeah, alright.
Ooh, lovely old car.
Yeah.
It's got a bit of grunt, doesn't it?
It does.
Ciao-ciao!
Ciao.
(UPBEAT MUSIC)
(KNOCK AT DOOR)
Hey, Ash,
all the stuff's in the garage.
That's the last of it.
Hi. You must be Megan.
That's the last of it.
Hi. You must be Megan.
I'm Flash.
He's Gordon.
Oh, the dog guy.
I've heard many things about you.
Oh, cool.
OK.
Sorry, this is this is your nan?
Mm-hm.
Yeah.
Meggles is adopted, Gordon.
Totally.
Is that Ashy?
Yes.
Peggy, it's me. How are you?
Oh, James.
Lovely James.
No, I'm not
I'm not James.
Sorry.
No, Nan, this is Gordon.
(TO HERSELF) Oh. Horrible.
She said horrible.
Yes, I heard that.
Sorry, it's a lot of this.
I'm gonna get some tea.
OK.
So, everything's in the garage.
I've gotta get to my appointment,
but I'll call you later?
Yeah.
Yeah, I mean, you can come back.
Meggles doesn't mind.
Oh, OK.
Meggles doesn't mind.
Oh, OK.
Yeah, and also,
I'll come back for Colin.
Hey, get out of it. Get out of it.
Um
What she doing?
He was just sniffing that
Oh.
..bag.
Mm-hm.
So, yeah.
Yeah.
OK.
Um
Also?
Mm.
Can I just look at your phone?
Mine's broken.
Yeah.
I just want to see how long you
Oh, you texted me.
Oh, it doesn't matter.
Doesn't matter. It doesn't matter.
What do you mean, doesn't matter?
Leave it.
Anyway, it's just a
Let me check it.
..stupid message.
Oh, my goodness, what are you doing?
Don't take my phone!
Just Shh!
Let me just I'm so sorry.
I just sent I sent you something
and I just wanna delete it
'cause it's not important.
What are you doing?
Can I please just have this?
Give me my phone!
Leave it.
Drop the phone.
Leave it. Just give it to me.
Just give it to me. No.
Give me the phone.
No. No.
(PEGGY INHALES SHARPLY)
Sorry, Peg.
(MOUTHS SILENTLY) Just fuck off!
Don't.
(WHISPERS) I'm very sorry.
You're out of control.
You're out of control.
Please just delete that text.
I sent you a text and it was for
It was just my mistake.
How bad could it be?
It doesn't forget it.
It's not for you.
Look, man in a bath.
No, no, no, no.
Oh! Oh, my god.
What the fuck.
Don't.
Oh, my god.
(LAUGHS)
Please don't laugh.
Don't laugh.
Yes, it was an accident.
Oh, my goodness, "He misses you"!
Yes, it was an accident.
It was a complete accident.
I was just taking a photo of him,
but
Oh!
..it's a terrible angle
and I would
Don't show it to her!
And I didn't
I was taking a photo of the dog.
But look, it's a terrible angle,
because the water actually acts
as a lens
which fore shortens the object,
which in this case is my dick.
Don't!
Yeah.
And if I were to send
a proper dick pic,
and I have, it would be better.
And mine is better than that.
Sorry, what?
Sorry, nothing.
Nothing.
I'm so sorry, Meggie Peggles.
Meggles.
So, Gordon, here we are.
Here we are.
I take it you've read the pamphlet?
Yes, I have.
Good man.
What we are doing today
is a flexible cystoscopy.
Mm-hm.
And we are checking your bladder.
OK. Fantastic.
Men who have had testicular cancer
are often at risk of developing
other cancers in the region
Yep.
..so it's best to check.
Yep, fantastic.
Yeah?
I'm going to insert something
nice and thin.
Yep.
About the width of a pencil
Fuckin' hell.
..up the old Urethra Franklin.
(CHUCKLES) OK?
Alright.
Whoa.
Later on,
you may feel some discomfort
with urinating,
and I wouldn't recommend
inter course or masturbation.
OK.
If you must masturbate,
do it slowly and precisely.
I I won't.
(CHUCKLES)
Alright, good man.
No erections for you.
Alright, good man.
No erections for you.
That's the golden rule.
Now, don't be frightened.
Oh, Gordon.
Handsome fellow. Lucky you, eh?
Thank you.
We'll just have a little look.
Permission to come aboard.
Hold still.
Yep, yep, yep. Ooh, ooh!
And we are
Mm, mm, mm.
Yep, yep, yep, yep.
DR ..in.
Oh, no.
What? What is it?
Idiot's in the bunker. Sorry.
Hey.
Shh, Colin, shh.
How is she going?
Well, Palliative Care stopped by
and they said it's any moment now.
They gave her some more morphine.
They gave her some more morphine.
Megan, I'm so sorry.
I'll I'll just take Colin
and I'll get out of your hair.
No, you don't have to.
Yeah, we are drinking her
special occasion brandy.
I don't want to intrude, honestly.
My nan's dying.
Drink with us.
Yeah. Yeah, of course, yeah.
You OK?
Yeah, yeah. Yeah.
Thanks.
So, she showed you the photo, then?
Yeah. Good. Good.
She explained the
what was it?
Foreshortening
Foreshortening.
..too, though, so don't worry.
Yes. Ah, good.
Got all the details.
It was it was actually
a nice distraction, so
Well, glad to have helped.
How's your pub?
It's a microbrewery,
which is a little bit
But yeah, it's it's it's good.
I mean, I say it's good.
I was just in a car
sending an email to a journo
to give him my mission statement
about what I was hoping to achieve
with this whole endeavour.
But he ordered a cider
at a microbrewery,
which I think is a bit insane
Just take it down
Sorry.
(WHISPERS)Just
Oh.
It's
Nan? What is it?
It's now.
It's it's now.
Don't let the Japs in.
Did she just
Don't.
She's gone.
Hello! I'm here!
Dad, we're in here!
Am I too late?
I'm so sorry, Dad.
You just missed her.
(SOBS)
Goodbye, Mother.
Did she say anything?
I I don't think so.
No.
Thanks for coming, Ashy.
She loved you very much.
She loved you very much.
I loved her.
And you too, James.
I know we haven't met, but
I'm so sorry, I'm not James.
Sorry.
Um
Bernie, this is Gordon.
A friend.
Oh, I do beg your pardon.
No, I'm sorry. I apologise.
(BLOWS NOSE)
Is that your lovely old
Toyota Cressida out the front?
Yeah, it is. Yeah, yeah.
Fantastic car.
Thank you.
The '76?
It's '78.
Right.
And manual, or
Automatic.
Oh, it's a six cylinder.
Yeah.
Mm.
Three-speed auto.
It's a really great car.
Very lucky.
I am. Thank you.
Thank you so much for saying it.
(MOUTHS SILENTLY)
I think we should go.
Yes.
I'm so sorry for your loss.
I might head off.
I might head off.
Yeah, I might go too,
unless you need me for anything.
No, it's fine.
We'll just we'll stay with her
for a while
and make some calls and
Thanks for being here.
Yeah. I love you.
I'll call you.
Love you, Bernie.
Love you, Peg.
Bye, Bern.
Oh, Ash, can you thank
your mum for me, please?
Why's that?
She gave me a lift
from the airport just now.
'Course she did.
Oh, that was fucking devastating.
Yeah.
Jesus.
I would murder a beer.
Oh, thank shit. Yes.
Yeah.
Let me take you to my place.
Great.
I thought it was closed today.
It is, but I sleep with the owner.
Myself. I sleep with myself.
Right.
Ah, why don't you follow me
and we'll open up.
OK.
How was it?
Oh!
How was it?
Oh!
Oh, Jesus.
I felt her spirit
leave not long ago.
I gave it a good energy.
Did you?
I don't think you did.
Just thought I might catch you.
Just thought I'd say,
"Hey, girlfriend."
But I actually told you
specifically not to come here.
Do you know
how inappropriate this is?
Bernie and I play Farmville,
so I reached out.
Sue me.
Gordon, don't leave me hanging.
I added you on Facebook,
naughty boy.
Ah, I will get onto that.
You added
I haven't added him on Facebook.
That's really fucking weird.
Goodbye, Gordon.
Goodbye. Bye.
Bye, Mum.
Bye!
Mum, are you leaving?
Mm-hm.
Yeah, you're not going inside?
Uh-uh.
But are you going now?
Yes, I'm going.
Go on.
Just need to just to find
What are you pretending
to look for, Mum?
Just go.
I wanna watch you physically leave.
Off you pop.
I just want to just go
and pay my respects.
Just, well, yep.
There's actually
a dead body in there, Mum.
I know!
I'll be really quick.
I know!
I'll be really quick.
Mum, just go!
Oh! Fine.
Don't have children, Gordon.
They only break your heart.
OK. Bye, Ms Steinhart.
Who's Ms Steinhart?
She is.
Oh, she's going round the back.
Mum, I can see you!
I've gotta follow her.
I'm looking down
On the bloodline ♪
Ah
That's really something,
seeing someone die.
Yeah, it is.
I mean, it's very intimate, death,
and I kind of can't believe that
she died with us there.
Yeah.
I mean, people normally
wait until they're alone.
Do they?
Yeah.
Like doctor pops
out for two minutes,
comes back in, they're gone.
Oh, my god, that's so sad.
This is cool.
Mm.
What's with the barrels?
Do you make wine?
Oh, no,
those are old bourbon barrels.
We age the beer in there,
because it gives the beer
this entirely different quality,
depending on the character
of the bourbon that was in there,
the notes of that oak.
So, only if you drink that beer
from that barrel
will you have that experience.
Oh, that's cool.
Yeah.
I mean, it's a bit nerdy, but
I like it. Mm.
I think we're about to get
roasted in this review anyway, so
Well, remember what Peggy said.
It's now.
It is now.
Eh? It's now.
Also, don't let the Japs in.
That was terrible.
It was awful.
(PHONE CHIMES)
Oh, shit.
What is it? What is it?
He's posted the review.
I can't could you read that?
Oh, OK.
Please? And just be gentle.
Oh, no.
What?
I can't read.
Don't!
No, I'm kidding.
I'm an excellent reader.
In Year 3, they said I
OK, could you read it?
OK, sorry. OK
Um oh, Gordon!
What?
"It's time
for a change of the guard.
"The days of the old pubs
on the corner
"filled with men leering at women
over warm VB are over.
"These run down, piss-soaked dives
"are being replaced by
establishments like Echo Park."
Are you kidding me?
Nope.
Oh! Oh, that's amazing!
He gets it!
Oh, yes! Fuck yes!
He gets it.
Come here. Congrats.
Thank you.
(LAUGHS) Great.
Alright!
Yeah.
Alright!
How about that.
I mean, whatever.
Who cares, anyway.
You care.
I care quite a bit, yeah.
Yeah.
That's a relief.
Cheers.
Real talk?
Real talk?
Yeah, I think we can real talk.
Why do you think you're single?
Wow.
It's just that you've got
such a nice
bar and good hair.
Why do you think you're single?
Well, I'm newly single,
so I'm not
I don't really know yet.
But I get the feeling that
you're quite single.
How come?
The unicycle.
And the punching bag.
Wow, man, you buy one unicycle
And the stationary bike.
And the drums.
Yeah, look,
I mean, I don't know is the answer.
I
I really,
I just work most of the time.
I mean, I'm on all the dating apps.
I'm on all the apps.
I don't know,
maybe maybe I just
It just feels a bit empty to me.
Maybe I'm expecting too much.
Do you do the old
"I sleep with the owner
personal beer tasting" move much?
It's not a move
I don't it's not a move.
It's not a move
I don't it's not a move.
This is not a move?
Oh, my god.
Is it working?
No.
Yeah.
Yeah, I'm just kidding.
Come here.
This is the last time
The last time I call ♪
It always works.
Always does.
Paying for itself.
The last time I call ♪
(BOTH BREATHING HEAVILY)
Yes. Yes!
Ahh! Stop, stop, stop, stop.
What!
We can't do this.
Why not? What's happened?
You've got your thirty days
of sexless.
Oh, I
Yeah, yeah, no, no, no
No, I don't care.
No, no, I care.
Ooh!
I care.
(TO HIMSELF) Oh, fuck.
(TO HIMSELF) Oh, fuck.
What is going on?
Um, honestly,
you've had a lot to drink,
I've had a lot to drink.
I I consent
No, no, I I don't
want to take advantage.
You're not, man, honestly.
Honestly.
I consent I consent to it all.
I'm all good.
I understand that
now is a different time,
you know, and I respect that.
I'm on board with that.
Well, I'm not on board with that.
If we do it sober,
it will mean more.
I don't know what you're saying.
I don't want to ruin the friendship.
I wanna build on it.
You know what?
I might just have a shower
and might just hit the hay.
I have had a good night.
Well, I'm gonna
Get myself together
Around the kitchen table
Some day soon
And maybe now that
I'm a little older
I might tell myself the truth
That I'm always thinking of ya
That I'm always thinking of ya
Yeah, I'm always thinking of you
And if I try to think it over
I'll name myself a fool ♪
(TO HERSELF)
What the fuck was that?
I'm gonna get myself together
And make a mends
For all that I've done wrong. ♪
This is nice.
Yeah.
Col, is this nice? High-five?
Oh, good boy!
Do you think
he's smarter than most dogs?
No.
What?
No, I think everyone just thinks
their dog's really smart.
He is very smart.
I can see you've become
like a weird dog person.
Yeah, I'm feeling that too.
I don't know
if it's a good colour on you.
I think it's a great colour on me.
Nah.
Get on board.
I'm good.
Look at us, huh?
Yeah.
Like an old married couple.
Nice since the kids left.
Oh, my god, yeah.
Mm.
Can I say something?
I have a confession to make.
Yeah.
I never liked our kids.
Nor did I.
Nor did I.
Oh, my god, what a relief.
Yeah. (CHUCKLES)
What are you doing today?
Nothing, just day off.
Oh, I've got an appointment,
but otherwise nothing.
What kind of appointment?
Mm, just checking my iron
or something.
Ooh, what's wrong with it?
You got anaemia?
Nuh.
Hemochromatosis?
Look,
I know you're a medical student.
Mm.
Please don't use
large words over breakfast.
It's rude.
(WHISPERS) OK.
OK?
Can I still use your Ute?
Yeah.
Yeah, I've gotta get some stuff.
I mean,
Tyler's threatened to sell my shit.
I don't know, I should go.
Oh, well, the key's by the door.
This is yummy. Thank you.
You're welcome.
Thanks.
And thank you
for not murdering me while I sleep.
Well, not yet.
Don't make those jokes.
I don't know you well enough.
Sorry.
Nah, it's cool.
I'll murder you.
(CHUCKLES)
OK.
We'll see who gets there first.
OK.

This is my stuff!
No, they're my records. Drop them!
Hey, no. Give me that.
Everyone, this garage sale's over.
No, no, no, this garage sale
is definitely not over.
I told you to come by yesterday.
You didn't.
You're actually
selling my shit, Tyler!
You're fucking unbelievable!
My sister's moving in.
My hands are tied.
You could have helped me
with this dog
and you didn't want to.
Correct.
Fuck me.
No, thanks.
Where are my shoes?
No, thanks.
Where are my shoes?
Drop that. Drop it!
Can you put that down!

of our national identity,
yada-yada-yada,
gentrification sucks.
So, if you could kind of spin it
that that's not
what we're trying to do
or something?
Oh, fuck! Oh, sorry!
OK, I'll call you back.
Hey!
Gordon,
can you please come to the house?
I really need your help.
Yes, stay there. Don't move.
Thank you. Fuck!

That's my boogie board!
I actually don't use that.
Oh, god.
I'm so I'm so sorry.

Oh, will she?
But no, that's mine.
No, no, please
Please drop it.
Stop
Drop it. Give it to me.

What? Mum!
Why are you stealing
from the elderly?
Mum, what are you doing here?
Oh, what a greeting.
I'm Facebook friends
with Tyler, honey.
I saw my furniture for sale.
How much, sir?
No.
100?
No, this is my bed!
Mum, Tyler's insane.
Now, now!
You know he's bipolar.

You're looking good.
Hey, what's happening?
Hi. Oh, thank you for coming.
Is he selling your stuff?
Yes.
Just put this in the Ute, please.
This is criminal.
We should take photos
of all this stuff for evidence.
My camera's broken.
Should I use your phone?
No, it's fine.
I really just need your help.
OK, we should probably call
the cops anyway.
Can I borrow your phone?
No.
Can I borrow your phone?
No.
Please?
Why?
Just quickly.
Excuse me, that's not for sale.
That's not for sale.
Rude!
Ashley Marie, Tyler's cut us a deal.
We can have everything back for $260
and a nice dinner out.
I've suggested the Apollo.
It's fine, Mum.
Gordon's helping me.
Ooh! This is Gordon!
Hello.
Lynelle.
Very normal, Mum.
It's lovely to meet you.
I don't mean to be crass, Gordon,
but you appear to be more
in my swimming pool
than my daughter's.
(LAUGHS)
I'm not much of a swimmer, really.
Happy to teach you.
Ah!
Did Ashley tell you how young I was?
No.
No, well, she wouldn't, would she?
Oh, no!
I'm so sorry
No, ah, Peggy's taken a turn.
Oh. What?
Meggles's nan,
she's dying, and I've gotta go.
I've gotta go.
Oh, dear god. I'll come.
I'm a death doula.
No, she's not. She's not.
Yes, I am! All my friends die.
You keep making friends
with people who are dying.
That's different.
Death is my constant companion.
Death is my constant companion.
Tyler,
don't sell any more of my shit.
Mum paid for it already.
Should yep.
You follow me.
God, she's bossy, isn't she?
Yeah.
I'll text you the address.
No, no, don't do that.
Don't.
That's very, very dangerous.
I'll just follow.
OK.
You're not coming, Mum.
Thank you.
It's lovely to meet you, Mrs
You don't know
my daughter's surname, do you?
Oh, I don't, I'm afraid.
But you're sleeping together.
Ah, no, no we're not.
Oh, well, it's Molden.
Ah.
But I'm a Steinhart.
Oh, OK.
Well, lovely to meet you,
Mrs Steinhart.
It's Miss.

It does.
Ciao-ciao!

Don't take my phone!
Just Shh!
Let me just I'm so sorry.

Don't.
(WHISPERS) I'm very sorry.
You're out of control.
You're out of control.
Please just delete that text.
I sent you a text and it was for
It was just my mistake.
How bad could it be?
It doesn't forget it.
It's not for you.
Look, man in a bath.
No, no, no, no.
Oh! Oh, my god.
What the fuck.
Don't.
Oh, my god.
(LAUGHS)
Please don't laugh.
Don't laugh.
Yes, it was an accident.
Oh, my goodness, "He misses you"!
Yes, it was an accident.
It was a complete accident.
I was just taking a photo of him,
but
Oh!
..it's a terrible angle
and I would
Don't show it to her!
And I didn't
I was taking a photo of the dog.
But look, it's a terrible angle,
because the water actually acts
as a lens
which fore shortens the object,
which in this case is my dick.
Don't!
Yeah.
And if I were to send
a proper dick pic,
and I have, it would be better.
And mine is better than that.
Sorry, what?
Sorry, nothing.
Nothing.
I'm so sorry, Meggie Peggles.
Meggles.
So, Gordon, here we are.
Here we are.
I take it you've read the pamphlet?
Yes, I have.
Good man.
What we are doing today
is a flexible cystoscopy.
Mm-hm.
And we are checking your bladder.
OK. Fantastic.
Men who have had testicular cancer
are often at risk of developing
other cancers in the region
Yep.
..so it's best to check.
Yep, fantastic.
Yeah?
I'm going to insert something
nice and thin.
Yep.
About the width of a pencil
Fuckin' hell.
..up the old Urethra Franklin.
(CHUCKLES) OK?
Alright.
Whoa.
Later on,
you may feel some discomfort
with urinating,
and I wouldn't recommend
inter course or masturbation.
OK.
If you must masturbate,
do it slowly and precisely.
I I won't.
(CHUCKLES)
Alright, good man.
No erections for you.
Alright, good man.
No erections for you.
That's the golden rule.
Now, don't be frightened.
Oh, Gordon.
Handsome fellow. Lucky you, eh?
Thank you.
We'll just have a little look.
Permission to come aboard.
Hold still.
Yep, yep, yep. Ooh, ooh!
And we are
Mm, mm, mm.
Yep, yep, yep, yep.
DR ..in.
Oh, no.
What? What is it?
Idiot's in the bunker. Sorry.
Hey.
Shh, Colin, shh.
How is she going?
Well, Palliative Care stopped by
and they said it's any moment now.
They gave her some more morphine.
They gave her some more morphine.
Megan, I'm so sorry.
I'll I'll just take Colin
and I'll get out of your hair.
No, you don't have to.
Yeah, we are drinking her
special occasion brandy.
I don't want to intrude, honestly.
My nan's dying.
Drink with us.
Yeah. Yeah, of course, yeah.
You OK?
Yeah, yeah. Yeah.
Thanks.
So, she showed you the photo, then?
Yeah. Good. Good.
She explained the

Foreshortening
Foreshortening.
..too, though, so don't worry.
Yes. Ah, good.
Got all the details.
It was it was actually
a nice distraction, so
Well, glad to have helped.
How's your pub?
It's a microbrewery,
which is a little bit
But yeah, it's it's it's good.
I mean, I say it's good.
I was just in a car
sending an email to a journo
to give him my mission statement
about what I was hoping to achieve
with this whole endeavour.
But he ordered a cider
at a microbrewery,
which I think is a bit insane
Just take it down
Sorry.
(WHISPERS)Just
Oh.
It's
Nan? What is it?
It's now.
It's it's now.
Don't let the Japs in.
Did she just
Don't.
She's gone.
Hello! I'm here!
Dad, we're in here!
Am I too late?
I'm so sorry, Dad.
You just missed her.
(SOBS)
Goodbye, Mother.
Did she say anything?
I I don't think so.
No.
Thanks for coming, Ashy.
She loved you very much.
She loved you very much.
I loved her.
And you too, James.
I know we haven't met, but
I'm so sorry, I'm not James.
Sorry.
Um
Bernie, this is Gordon.
A friend.
Oh, I do beg your pardon.
No, I'm sorry. I apologise.
(BLOWS NOSE)
Is that your lovely old
Toyota Cressida out the front?
Yeah, it is. Yeah, yeah.
Fantastic car.
Thank you.
The '76?
It's '78.
Right.
And manual, or
Automatic.
Oh, it's a six cylinder.
Yeah.
Mm.
Three-speed auto.
It's a really great car.
Very lucky.
I am. Thank you.
Thank you so much for saying it.
(MOUTHS SILENTLY)
I think we should go.
Yes.
I'm so sorry for your loss.
I might head off.
I might head off.
Yeah, I might go too,
unless you need me for anything.
No, it's fine.
We'll just we'll stay with her
for a while
and make some calls and
Thanks for being here.
Yeah. I love you.
I'll call you.
Love you, Bernie.
Love you, Peg.
Bye, Bern.
Oh, Ash, can you thank
your mum for me, please?
Why's that?
She gave me a lift
from the airport just now.
'Course she did.
Oh, that was fucking devastating.
Yeah.
Jesus.
I would murder a beer.
Oh, thank shit. Yes.
Yeah.
Let me take you to my place.
Great.
I thought it was closed today.
It is, but I sleep with the owner.
Myself. I sleep with myself.
Right.
Ah, why don't you follow me
and we'll open up.
OK.
How was it?
Oh!
How was it?
Oh!
Oh, Jesus.
I felt her spirit
leave not long ago.
I gave it a good energy.
Did you?
I don't think you did.
Just thought I might catch you.
Just thought I'd say,
"Hey, girlfriend."
But I actually told you
specifically not to come here.
Do you know
how inappropriate this is?
Bernie and I play Farmville,
so I reached out.
Sue me.
Gordon, don't leave me hanging.
I added you on Facebook,
naughty boy.
Ah, I will get onto that.
You added
I haven't added him on Facebook.
That's really fucking weird.
Goodbye, Gordon.
Goodbye. Bye.
Bye, Mum.
Bye!
Mum, are you leaving?
Mm-hm.
Yeah, you're not going inside?
Uh-uh.
But are you going now?
Yes, I'm going.
Go on.
Just need to just to find
What are you pretending
to look for, Mum?
Just go.
I wanna watch you physically leave.
Off you pop.
I just want to just go
and pay my respects.
Just, well, yep.
There's actually
a dead body in there, Mum.
I know!
I'll be really quick.
I know!
I'll be really quick.
Mum, just go!
Oh! Fine.
Don't have children, Gordon.
They only break your heart.
OK. Bye, Ms Steinhart.
Who's Ms Steinhart?
She is.
Oh, she's going round the back.
Mum, I can see you!
I've gotta follow her.
I'm looking down
On the bloodline ♪
Ah
That's really something,
seeing someone die.
Yeah, it is.
I mean, it's very intimate, death,
and I kind of can't believe that
she died with us there.
Yeah.
I mean, people normally
wait until they're alone.
Do they?
Yeah.
Like doctor pops
out for two minutes,
comes back in, they're gone.
Oh, my god, that's so sad.
This is cool.
Mm.
What's with the barrels?
Do you make wine?
Oh, no,
those are old bourbon barrels.
We age the beer in there,
because it gives the beer
this entirely different quality,
depending on the character
of the bourbon that was in there,
the notes of that oak.
So, only if you drink that beer
from that barrel
will you have that experience.
Oh, that's cool.
Yeah.
I mean, it's a bit nerdy, but
I like it. Mm.
I think we're about to get
roasted in this review anyway, so
Well, remember what Peggy said.
It's now.
It is now.
Eh? It's now.
Also, don't let the Japs in.
That was terrible.
It was awful.

Oh, shit.
What is it? What is it?
He's posted the review.
I can't could you read that?
Oh, OK.
Please? And just be gentle.
Oh, no.
What?
I can't read.
Don't!
No, I'm kidding.
I'm an excellent reader.
In Year 3, they said I
OK, could you read it?
OK, sorry. OK
Um oh, Gordon!
What?
"It's time
for a change of the guard.
"The days of the old pubs
on the corner
"filled with men leering at women
over warm VB are over.
"These run down, piss-soaked dives
"are being replaced by
establishments like Echo Park."
Are you kidding me?
Nope.
Oh! Oh, that's amazing!
He gets it!
Oh, yes! Fuck yes!
He gets it.
Come here. Congrats.
Thank you.
(LAUGHS) Great.
Alright!
Yeah.
Alright!
How about that.

Who cares, anyway.
You care.
I care quite a bit, yeah.
Yeah.
That's a relief.
Cheers.

Yeah, I think we can real talk.
