RADIO: Turn up the sunshine, Sydney,
we've got a cracking
ad-free hour of nonstop tunes
coming at you with the drive show.
So sit back, relax, and enjoy.

CAR HORNS BLARE)

Give me those.
Quick. We're running late.
Oh, can I not have the paw paw?

Cheers, guys. See you.
WOMAN: Joey's later, yeah?
Ooh, I'd let him disrespect me.
I haven't had sex in, like, three weeks.
Can you believe we're doing this?
We should be out there with him.
Yeah, well, I didn't
bring my swimmers, so.
- Why not?
- Because we're here to work.
When was the last time you
got, like, fully railed?
A month?

Not a year.
- Leila!
- OK, would you just put that away?
And we have to gummies.
- Where are your gummies?
- OK.
RECORDED FEMALE VOICE:
Mindfulness is a powerful tool
and should be a part of
our everyday practice.
My advice is to surrender,
inasmuch as you
(PHONE RINGS)
you can.
Some things, sadly,
remain out of our control,
and that is the simultaneous wonder
and tragedy of the human condition.
If you grip the wheel too tightly,
you'll forget to enjoy the road trip.
And with a new packing facility,
we'll be able to fast track
the Mighty Gummies to local
pharmacies by mid-year.
Great. Great.
Because by mid-year, number
three will be strapped to me 24/7.
Your bump is so cute.
Oh, cute. I can't sleep. I have
to pee all night. My boobs leak.
I'm never having kids.
Honestly, I don't know if I've
got it in me a third time round.
No, no, you look great.
Well, this was not planned.
Total accident.
I am never drinking sake again.
So, Chloe,
why don't I step you through
how we'll be partnering
with our retailers?
Yes. Great idea, Leila.
So I've drawn up a staggered
schedule for our reps
who who will be targeting
Gold Coast health food stores,
as well as (HEART THUMPS IN EARS)
trying to get the Mighty Gummies
inside the April wellness
convention showbags,
which have a reach of
several hundred thousand.
(HEART POUNDS, SOUND FADES)
Excuse me.
Bathroom.
Leila?
(DANCE MUSIC PLAYS)
A gin and tonic, please. Double.
Are you a dealer or something?
That's a bit racist.
What? No. Oh, my God. No, I wouldn't.
I don't think I No, sorry.
It was just. It was because of the cash.
(LAUGHS) I always pay cash.
That way no one can track me.
Why would you be tracked?
Oh, why wouldn't you be?
Oi, cunt! Hurry up.
- Shit, shit!
- Whoa.
- You right there?
- No, no, don't move.
Sorry.
I just escaped a work dinner
thing, and my boss is at the door.
Dressed like a vomit stain?
Yeah. That's her.
- She's gone.
- Oh. Oh.
Oh, thanks for your help.
Manny.
Leila.
Ooh.
I have to get back up there.
Oh. No, you don't.
It's a major client. One of our biggest.
So what? Stay down here.
Come hang out with us.
Lot of beer in shoes.
He's got it. Here we go.
Yep.
- And yeah!
- That is a valiant effort.
Oh, alright.
The rule is if it's your first
time in the shoey circle
- No.
- Oh, yeah.
You have to drink.
- Yep.
- Oh, no, no.
It's just it's. I don't even
- Whose shoe is this?
- Ah, pass it.
- Oh!
- Sorry.
No, that's cool.
It's not her first rodeo.
- (BURPS)
- MAN 1: You guys want to eat?
- (PHONE PINGS)
- MAN 2: Kitchen's closed, mate.
-
- MAN 1: Righto. Liquid dinner it is.
WOMAN 1: Where are we going after this?
WOMAN 2: Back to Joey's, yeah.
MAN 1: Yeah, I'm down.
WOMAN 3: Swing by mine.
I've got drinks at home.
MAN 1: Sweet.
Come with me.
Sometimes they say that we're
too young and too fast ♪
I was here last week. I got so
blind. I swear to God, there's
WOMAN: Really?
(DANCE MUSIC BEATS THROUGH WALLS)
What if the staff come in?
It's alright. They know us.
Fuck, get it even.
Fuck off. You still
owe me from last time.
Give it here.
I bought you shots just before.
Oh, counting are we?
Nice.
Knows how to cut a line.
I'm from Sydney.
Sydney. Wank City.

Alright, hotshot.

- MEN ON PHONE: Leila!
- Hey, guys.
I'm sorry I missed your call before.
- Where are you?
- Is that a bathroom?
How's the trip?
Oh, my God. She's cooked.
Are you high?
You're not supposed to
do that before a cycle.
Leave her alone. She'll be fine by then.
What have you had? I want some.
Steven, Blair. Shut the fuck up.
WOMAN: Oh, my God!
I just.
Yeah, I can't really talk right now.
We just need to know if
you've made a decision yet.
The clinic.
They've given us another date
for the next transfer, so.
Yeah, I'm still thinking.
Let us know when you
can. But sooner, yeah?
Go. Go have fun. Don't
think about it tonight, yeah.
- Bye. Love you.
- Bye. Bye bye.
Bye!

Mans, you coming to Joey's?
Yeah. I'll catch up with you.
Ha! It's so warm.

(LEILA BREATHES DEEPLY)
- Leila.
- Oh.
Whoa. Whoa, whoa. Just
Oh, my God. Sorry.
- I thought I'm
- It's fine.
It's just.
Look where you are.
You drifted.
This current could take us out to sea.
Shit. Shit.
- Oh, no, it's OK. It's OK.
- No.
Yeah, it's fine. Hey, hey. It's alright.
Yeah.
We're gonna swim back in together, OK?
- OK.
- Alright.
Come on. Hold on to me.
C'mon. Come on.
Oh.
Drinks back at mine, hey?
Yes.
You can't fuck him.
(DRINK POURING INTO GLASSES)
So what is this?
Violet gin.
It's from this amazing
distillery in Marrickville.
Oh.
So you get this whole
place for free, do you?
Well, I am working.
Yeah.
(PUTS GLASS DOWN FORCEFULLY)
(SCOFFS)
Must be nice having everything
all laid out for you.
What does that mean?
Nothing. I'm just saying you're lucky.
Because you know me.
No, I know people.
(FLICKS LIGHTER)
OK, come on. You're going
to set off the alarm.
Sixie, smoke it outside.
Put it out or get out.
Are you happy?
OK, what is your problem?
You're in here drinking my gin,
having a go at me for no reason.
- You don't even know me.
- I know you're fucking selfish.
I know you could have drowned out there.
You're lucky he was
watching out for you.
- It's not an issue.
- What is it to you?
Why are you even still here?
- Girls, it's getting
- No, no, no. I want to know.
Why is she still here?
What, are you two dating?
- Fuck no!
- Fuck no!
Is this like a, like a threesome thing?
Fuck this.
Let's bail.
- I'm going to stay.
- Are you serious?
She's fucking using you.
Some story to tell her
stuck-up Sydney mates,
and she's gonna piss on all of us.
You always fall for
these uptight chicks.
And then I pick up the pieces.
Fuck. Your fucking funeral.
- Look, I'll walk you out.
- Nah, it's fine.
See ya.
Thanks for the drink.
That true?
You're using me?
Kinda.
OK.
Come here.
You come here.
(MOANS)
(LEILA BREATHES HEAVILY)
Now.
(MOANS)
Well, after Dylan and I broke up.
I just didn't meet anyone.
Well, not anyone who
wanted to have a baby.
But your gay mates did?
Yeah, but
We were just so unlucky.
Like every IVF cycle,
something went wrong.
You know, miscarriages,
an ectopic pregnancy.
What's that?
It's when, um
It's when the foetus
gets stuck in your tube.
They had to cut it out.
- Hectic.
- Yeah.
It's been a lot. Years.
We have one embryo left
on ice at the clinic.
Are you going to put it in?
I'm
I'm not sure.
Then don't.
(LAUGHS BITTERLY)
You make it sound so easy.
And what, just give up on a dream?
No.
Make new ones.
Are you sure you want to
hear all this? (LAUGHS)
Well, it's pretty fucking depressing.
Yeah.
But I don't really get to
speak to girls here like this.
Why?
I've got a scar, too.
Bull shark.
- Really?
- Yeah, nah.
My brother thought he could beat
- the cheekiness out of me.
- (LAUGHS)
You got lots of brothers and sisters?
None that I talk to.
It's mostly just me and Sixie.
She's hard work.
Yeah, she's got her reasons.
But she's family.
Not actual family.
She is to me.
I found you something.
Now might be a little bit chipped
and it might smell a little bit, but
Thank you.
LEILA: Please don't be upset.
I mean, I know you will be.
I think we should donate
the embryo to someone
who has a real chance because
I don't think I can anymore.
I'm so sorry.
Steven, Blair, I love you both so much.
I'll come straight over when I land.
You're my family.
