Sun smart.
And a, uh three-litre energy drink.
- Yeah.
- Is that all? Just I might just get a packet of, uh, those, uh - Condoms, mate? - Yeah.
Not for me.
Just for my, uh father in-law.
Does your father-in-law prefer glow in the dark, ribbed? Doesn't Ribbed or glow in the dark.
Doesn't Both.
He loves it.
Good-time guy.
Would you like to join our loyalty program? No.
- (DOOR BANGS) - Shh! (QUIETLY) I've got pineapple glow in the dark or Bluetooth ribbed.
- Shh.
Shh, shh, shh.
- Ohh, Chloe.
Yeah.
- Which means hers is free.
- No, no, no, Sophie's in there.
- Laundry? - No, I've just put on a load.
Oh.
- We need to make changes.
- Yeah.
Yep.
Agree.
- But let's do it in the morning.
- OK.
I missed 'em.
They really do glow in the dark.
The truth is out there.
Since I've started work, I my libido, it's just dropped like a sack of lead balloons.
Last night, I - brought Chloe into our bed.
- What? (SIGHS) I I'm so tired, and I didn't know what to say to Greg and so I just woke her up and I and I put her in our bed.
Oh, honey.
That's not healthy.
I want to have sex, we need to have sex, but I just haven't had anything left in the tank.
I know what you mean.
Last week, Terry and I only had sex four and a half times.
- What's the half? - It's when he It doesn't matter.
Go on.
You.
I tell you, vasectomies are a game-changer.
Trust me.
You will never wanna wear another condom again.
- Well, I won't have to.
- Well, you won't need to.
- I won't have to.
- That's my point.
It's not the point.
I bought a whole stack from Costco a couple of years ago.
Use them as dishwashing gloves now.
Just don't wanna become one of these married couples who only have sex like A couple of times a week? - A couple? - Yeah.
- So, Terry - Mm? how do vasectomies work, exactly? Ah.
Right.
So, essentially I'll tell you what you need, a near-death experience.
- Really? - Yeah.
If you've lost your mojo, you need to stare death in the face.
- You'll be hornier than a teenage toad.
- (LAUGHS) There's whole books written on it, Em.
Why do you think there's so much sex in war zones? There's sex in war zones? Iraq is practically just one big orgy.
- TERRY: Make way.
- MARLO: Mmm! Good news, everyone, Greg's getting a vasectomy.
Uh No, no.
Thinking of getting a vasectomy.
It's not really an appropriate conversation - to have in front of the - What's a vasectomy? (CHUCKLES) It is a private operation, sweetie, and that's why it's called a vasecto-me.
Well, you have been saying that you're gonna get it done, so Well, I just I haven't had time.
You've been saying it for seven years.
Isn't Chloe five? BOTH: Shut up, Brad.
GREG: Why would you say that? But I am I am serious.
We do need to lift our game.
Agreed.
Which is why I'm going skydiving.
- Yes! - Cool! Uh, sk-skydiving? - Yeah.
- Yeah? It's gonna restore Em's youthful urges, Greg.
Oh.
Is that right? Uh, none of this is over my head, just FYI.
Or mine.
LOL.
And she's booked in for this afternoon! They had an opening.
Oh, Marlo, I can't this afternoon, because I've gotta take Chloe to a party.
- Oh, where's the party? - Airport West.
- Perfect! - TERRY: You're in luck, Greg.
Your vasectomy's all booked.
My guy, Dr Zhevenko, has a 3:00pm sharp.
Perfect.
(CHUCKLES) Good.
Yep.
Good.
Mummy, are you scared the parachute won't open? Oh, sweetheart! They always, always do.
I will be absolutely fine.
Hello! Hi! Hi.
Um, I'm Sally.
You must be Em and Chloe.
(HORN BEEPS) Come on, Em! You're gonna miss the take-off! Death waits for no-one! (LAUGHS AWKWARDLY) Well, I'd better run.
So, have a great time.
(KISSES) Thanks! Dad's getting his penis cut off, so Mum's jumping out of a plane.
Bye! How do you know a guy, Terry? I mean, who has a vasectomy guy? Dr Zhevenko.
He's done all of mine.
ALL of yours? Three vasectomies, two reversals.
My balls have forgiven me for many things, but being indecisive is not one of them.
Oh, this is a bad idea.
Hey, if Terry says his guy's the best, then he's the best.
Thank you, Bradley.
Rumour has it he's the only doctor in the world - to reverse a circumcision.
- Jesus! Not Jesus.
Jesus kept his.
MARLO: (LAUGHS) It's going to be great! Yes.
It is.
It's just what we need.
My libido is gonna go from zero to hero.
- Yes! Em's bringing sexy back! - Yeah! Hey, do you want us to take the kids tonight, so you and Greg can you know, take his one-eyed snake to the optometrist? (CHUCKLES) Download the next episode of Game of Bones.
(LAUGHS) Oh, I'm jumping out of a plane! You wanna make a little video? Just in case you know.
- In case what? - Well, you know.
Just in case "Oh! There's no chute in this pack! I've made a terrible choice!" Why are you saying this to me now? Oh, it's just a precaution.
I make farewell videos on my iPhone all the time.
- Really? - Yeah.
Before I ever get on a boat, before I had my tonsils out, before Terry and I had sex for the first time in the open-range zoo.
- You did that? - Yeah.
That's what I'm talking about.
Near-death experience, Em.
The meerkats' eyes nearly popped out of their little heads.
- Oh, God.
I bet they did.
- SOPHIE: Mum.
My battery's dead.
Do you have a charger? How long was your battery dead there for, Soph? Long enough.
And I never want to go to an open-range zoo.
TERRY: So where have you kept your reserves? I keep mine in a tub behind the Frosty Fruits.
My reserves? Your man jam, Greggy boy.
Oh, please tell me you've frozen some sperm.
Why would I do that? Well, because, Captain Obvious, what happens if Em decides that she wants more rugrats? Uh, trust me, not gonna happen.
Well, what about the time you said you might wanna have a son one day? Ooh, hello.
- I never said that.
- Yes, you did.
Three Christmases ago, in your backyard.
- I remember specifically.
- Nup.
You said you hoped you had a boy one day.
You were drinking whisky and peeing into the fire pit.
You told me not to tell Em.
I don't remember any of that.
- What if Em divorces you? - Yeah.
Or you become a widower.
I mean, that sort of thing happens more often than not.
- Mm.
- Em is jumping out of a plane today.
OK, pull over.
G'day, mate.
Just wanna grab a, um the, um just the the mints.
And these dangerously out-of-date energy pills.
(SCANNER BEEPS) And just a pen torch.
(SCANNER BEEPS) - Is that everything? - Yep.
That's the lot.
Can I just grab the, um that magazine? The one behi behind you? - Penthouse? - Yep.
Is that what it's called? Yeah.
Just - (SCANNER BEEPS) - And the, um the bathroom key? For your father-in-law? Yeah.

But don't worry, the swelling will go down.
Thanks, Katy K.
Big fan.
Oh Could I get an autograph? Think I've got a Coles receipt here in my wallet somewhere.
No, mate, we can do better than a Coles receipt.
You just had a bloody vasectomy! Oh! Ah! How's that? Oh, you went a bit hard on that second K.
(LAUGHS) Good on you, champ.
I'll never wash 'em again! - Why'd you do it? - I just wanted an autograph.
Actually hurt more than the operation.
Not the autograph.
The vasectomy.
Why? I like being an uncle.
I think that's my thing.
For now.
Besides, I signed up for the loyalty program.
Two for one reversals.
And then we got up there and she she she started to, like, panic.
- Oh, did she? - Yeah.
And so that's when I, um, volunteered to scatter the ashes on my way down.
Oh, that is so cool of you.
Yeah, well, it is what Freddy would have wanted.
And, I mean, it's just such a shame for Stephanie, because, you know, it is such oh, it's an amazing experience.
And they have this really cool video that proves everything you just said.
Yeah.
I mean, don't take this the wrong way, but, um you look a little touch heavier in the sky.
I mean, almost Dutch.
Oh, well, the sky adds 10 pounds to everyone, and everyone knows that.
Um and speaking of adding 10 pounds, how how's the swelling? - Uh the peas seem to be working.
- Yeah, I'm sorry I got the box.
- It's a bit sharp.
- It's all good.
- All good.
- Mm.
Yep.
And it's, um it's a pity.
Because, you know, I mean, this it really did work.
(CHUCKLES) Did it? I have I don't think ever felt, like, so, like, turned on by doing something like that.
Yeah.
Well, uh, sweetie, um I mean, it's not completely unheard of for a man and wife to have sex the night of the vasectomy as a, you know, way of marking the occasion.
- Oh, no, no.
- Yeah, yeah.
I mean, it is too sensitive.
Oh Oh, I mean, a little bit, but, I mean, I would do it for you.
And it is such a shame, because I am so in the mood for that.
(WHISPERS) You would you would you would do that? Yeah.
Oh, and I really wanted to try (WHISPERED INAUDIBLE DIALOGUE) - OK.
I-I, I didn't do it! I didn't do it! - I knew it.
