Tangle (2009) s02e01 Episode Script
Cortege
Here's the thing.
You take a risk - pff, whatever.
You take a risk and then go further.
That's what makes it stand out.
You stay away from me, you rancid little piece of shit! I wanna have another baby.
You 're fucking kidding me, right? It's what I want.
Alright.
Alright, I'm an arsehole, am I? Yeah.
What? I'm happy, Ally's happy.
Everyone's happy.
It's all predicated on the hospital site being redeveloped.
That deal goes through with his name on the papers, we are gonna be ashes scattered on parliament steps.
You need to get out of this deal.
Well, that's not gonna happen.
Look, I know you 're stupid, but you 're not naive.
We don't let low-life builders come in and screw with us.
What do you want from me? Fuck off! Lose the accent! You can't live here and sound like that.
You 're happy her life's fallen apart.
- This is laughable.
- No, admit it.
You 're jealous.
What is it about her that you like so much? You had an affair with her, you were out drinking with her, you can't keep away from her! There is SOMETHING.
Just be man enough and mature enough to tell me - what is it? Do you really see yourself as my mum? Well, I AM your mother.
Yeah, but you 're not really.
I mean, you missed that boat.
Well, you know, it's not really you, is it? Are you gonna stay together? Yeah, mate.
Yeah, we will.
It'll be fine.
I fucked up.
I know, alright? Am I sorry? Yeah, I am.
You were about to do it again.
I don't hate you, Ally.
I fucked someone else, alright? It was never about you.
Where's Mum? Well, she found out Dad was having an affair with Charlotte's mum.
We don't know where she is.
Pizza? I told Mum about Gabriel and Em - that it was a lie.
I said she was stupid because she couldn't figure it out.
I'm sorry, Dad.
Does that mean I have to give my rabbit back? Yeah.
Yeah, it means you have to give your rabbit back.
You 're damn right you have to give your rabbit back.
Oh! Um Ally! I'm going to be a bit crazy for a while.
I kissed Gabriel.
Yeah, well I can't really take the high moral ground, now, can I? I don't think you 're being fair, though.
Why? Get his hopes up.
Maybe he should.
I'm gonna fight for this family.
I'm not gonna lose it.
Isn't this so cute? Look, you won, OK? Just take your wife home.
You know what? Maybe you wanna try tennis next time.
I don't need a mercy fuck.
Do you want one? She's never gonna leave him.
Jesus.
Tangle S02E01 - Cortege Are you on any other medication right now? Any birth control? My husband and I the problems we were having, they were I thought I might get my libido back if I stopped taking them.
And we talked about having another baby.
Don't you think that's why you 've stopped sleeping? No.
My husband died, so It was stupid, really.
I think that's probably why I haven't been sleeping.
Oh, Ally.
When did this happen? I'm so sorry.
It must have been very sudden.
Yeah.
It's all a bit of a shock.
The funeral's tomorrow.
? The sky was big and empty ? My chest filled to explode ? I yelled my insides out at the sun ? At the wide open road ? It's a wide open road ? It's a wide open road ? So how do you think it feels ?

I wake up in the morning ? Thinking I'm still by your side ? I reach out just to touch you ? Then I realise ? It's a wide open road It's a wide open road So how do you think it feels Hey, is that your uncle? Dunno.
I've never met him.

Are you OK to see people right now? Well, Father Paul's been waiting, and a few more people have arrived.
Hey.
I'm so sorry.
I can't believe you came all this way.
Lucinda wanted to come too.
You 're staying, aren't you? Yeah, no, Tallulah's here, the little rascal.
Oh, Ally.
It's just the saddest thing.
You two just had such a big love.
- Come here, beautiful.
- Jackie wishes she could be here.
What? - What was that, Elle? - I'll get that.
Was it a bad thing to say? I'll get it, Ally.
Oh, you 've been in my prayers, Ally.
If you need anything - Is that Joe? - Yeah.
Do you wanna talk about it? Oh no, just one second.
Yeah, sure.
Take your time.
Take your time.
Thanks for coming.
The whole thing's been Well, it's just such a I think I'm still in shock.
But I guess you must be too.
Not really.
I'm sorry, could you speak up? I'm just having trouble hearing.
Oh, yes, of course.
Sorry.
And just so we're clear, that has to be the last time.
Right.
You think you have self-control, do you? Yeah, just like that.
Gabriel? Sorry.
Um, it's the cemetery.
Ah, OK.
Just tell them to hold on.
I'll talk to Huey.
Oh, right, OK.
Um, could you just hang on a minute? He'll be right back.
How've you been? Same as always.
Sorry.
Actually, can I have that? Thanks.
We've got a confirmed space at Melbourne Cemetery.
We can't afford that.
Nah, don't worry about it.
Huey's covering it.
He wanted to do something.
What does he care? He's got buckets of money.
Do you think Vince would be happy to be there? Yes.
But look, there are two plots, so they need you to go and have a look, decide which one you want.
I can't believe it.
Will you come with me? The more things change Um, Ally, I think you need to talk to Gigi.
What? I think we should all go.
Go where? Choose Vince's plot.
You out of your mind? As if he'd want us there choosing where he ends up.
No, I want you all there.
I'll take that.
Um, she's under the table.
I wanna go to school.
Why? Is there someone you need to see, sweetie? No.
- What is it? - Ally? Oh! So sorry.
I'll talk to you later.
I'm OK.
I just wanna go to school.
We're all gonna have a look at where Dad's gonna end up.
Come on, we've gotta go.
I need to go to the toilet.
- Can you hang on? - No.
Well, just go behind No! Well, I don't know, Gigi.
Mmm.
Yeah, this is it.
Soil's pretty lush.
For growing something on on the grave.
I'm gonna pee my pants.
Where's Romeo? I'll go find him.
Um, let's find a toilet.
Hey.
Hey.
We're over here.
This place is amazing.
Yeah.
Are you OK, kid? I feel pretty shit.
Yeah.
Me too.
Guess you wish you hadn't thrown that punch, eh? Yeah.
Guess I'm wishing that.
He was pretty complicated, eh? He loved you and Gigi.
Would have done anything for you two.
Was just reading the gravestones.
What do you think? It's good.
It's good.
Remember all the times he DIDN'T die? Like when he climbed up on top of the school building and everyone saw him, and the teachers were all so freaked out.
And then he managed to somehow scale his way down the other side.
Remember that? No.
I wasn't there.
I was good, remember? I was always in class.
He was crazy, but, God, he was so alive.
Back in the old days.
Remember when he jumped off the rocks up at the point and he couldn't get back in? And the whole beach was watching him but no-one wanted to go out and get him because of the rocks - it was too dangerous.
We started thinking that, you know this was it.
I never thought he'd ever die.
What about you, Uncle Joe? Do you have any stories? No, you don't wanna know that stuff, mate.
Just call me Joe.
Hi.
Where are you? I'm at Ally's.
Oh, give her my love, won't you? Oh, actually, I'm going to the supermarket.
Well, she's got a lot of people staying, and I'm, um you know, helping.
Oh.
I just dropped in for a minute, but I haven't been able to leave.
It's really it's quite amazing.
So I'm just organising dinner for everyone tonight.
So you 're staying there until then? Um, I think so.
As long as I'm needed, really.
OK.
Well, uh Oh Oh, I've gotta make a call.
OK.
Hey, has Ally mentioned anything about Vince's deal? No, Tim.
Oh.
OK.
She won't even let anyone talk about the will, which no-one can find.
OK.
Well, we'll talk later.
Love you.
See you tonight.
Hello? Hello, Nicky? Yeah, Tim Williams.
Right.
Well, I'd rather do this face to face.
Sure.
I'll meet you there in an hour.
See you in an hour.
OK.
'Bye.
I cannot have the sale of this hospital go through with his name anywhere near that agreement.
Well, Vince won't be the contracted builder anymore.
That makes the link almost impossible to trace back to you.
Yes, but the estate goes to his wife, and Ally is my son's aunt.
I can't afford to have that link.
Can we get her to sign it? No, that's not appropriate.
When do you announce the sale of the hospital? I can't answer that.
I know you 're going to announce the sale soon.
If we could get her to sign She's in the middle of organising her husband's funeral.
We're talking about $350,000.
She'll need financial security.
Can you think about it? Hey.
Hey.
Brother McCawley said we had to pray for you today.
He said we had to feel you in our hearts and in our prayers.
Are you serious? The guy's a pedo, man.
For sure.
Yep.
Everyone signed a card.
It's pretty rank, but, you know, I guess it's just everyone wanting to let you know that that that it's pretty fucking shit what happened.
Thanks.
I met my uncle.
For the first time.
Dad would never talk about him except to say he was a loser.
There's so many people in my house at the moment.
You got any weed? No.
I can text Dougherty, though.
I found this note my dad wrote three days ago.
It's like if I hold this, he's still alive.
It's weird, right? It's not weird.
What's for dinner? What's that supposed to mean? Well, it was just a question.
I'm sorry, but you 're gonna have to forget about what's gone on between us.
OK? Because this is a funeral It's forgotten.
Why do I just feel like necking alcohol? Maybe you should take Gigi out, buy her a new rabbit.
Where is she? Oh, under a table or in a cupboard somewhere.
I can't do the eulogy.
I told you to say no! Get Huey to do it.
Apparently he's got some phobia about public speaking.
Oh, come on.
Someone who's that successful? Who asked you to do it? Ally.
Ally.
Oh, you 've gotta do it.
Yeah, well, I've just discovered a phobia of my own.
Oh, this isn't about you.
This is about Ally.
Maybe you should say something, Christine.
You 're good at that sort of thing.
You know, being upfront and saying how it is.
Ally, are you OK? Charlotte's here.
I DON'T want her mother at the funeral.
We can organise that.
See what I mean, Christine? Up front.
Look, um, Ally, the kids are down at the park.
Want me to take Charlotte down there? I told her.
I'm gonna take Gigi out.
- Tim! - Billy.
Like you to meet Spiros Giorgiades.
Hi.
Tim, great to finally meet you properly.
We thought we might give you a new advisor.
Oh! Yeah, an up-and-comer.
Great.
Very ambitious.
We've got some big plans for you, Tim.
By the way, um I didn't know you were partial to a Fanta pants.
Oh, look, I wasn't No, not saying it's any of my business, Tim.
But I did want to mention That family line you took with Max worked really well.
And I wouldn't want you to lose that.
It's not what you think.
Oh, and l'll need you to announce the sale of the hospital by the end of the week.
Help you look good with our friends in Treasury, OK? That's the boy.
What exactly do you do? Mate, I'd like to tell you, but I'd end up boring you, but most of all, I'd probably end up boring myself.
So IT.
High-end IT.
Yeah.
Yeah.
So I'm just curious to know how you make so much money, that's all.
I'd rather you be curious Well, there's this one, but it's really hard to cut out Gigi there.
- So I think my favourite would be - This one.
It's very smiley.
What do you think? Look, I think it's fine.
But at the end of the day, you need to talk to OK, so Huey and Romeo at the front.
Joe, you can take the back, behind Romeo.
Steve, you and Jason can take the middle.
I'm not doing that.
Coffin.
Well, Romeo won't be able to carry any weight.
We need you there for the height.
- Joe, come on.
- He's your brother.
Please.
Joe? I'm going for a cigarette.
Hey.
I'm sorry about Mum brought this.
Oh, thanks, sweetheart.
Thanks.
Where's Romeo? Oh, they're all at the park.
You know, down the road.
Freak! What do you mean? Like in the sun.
What are you talking about? What's he talking about? Someone order this? Took you long enough.
Got any papers? Yeah.
Where are you going? Get some more wine.
We haven't got enough.
I'll come with you.
No, it's alright.
Gabriel.
I know you feel bad about what happened between you and Vince.
You don't know how I feel.
I know you don't wanna do the eulogy.
But I also know you have to.
He knows everything now.
He knows what's going through my head, what's going through yours.
You will do it, won't you? Yes, Ally, I will do it.
Why didn't you just catch a train? Just thought I'd walk.
I'm not allowed to walk.
My mum would kill me.
She always has to pick me up from the train.
What, she thinks you 're gonna get raped or something? Exactly! She's such a retard.
You guys are so lucky you don't have to wear hats and stupid tunics.
I've got, like, three detentions for not wearing this hat already.
Pass us the weed.
Hey, who's the sullen chick? Some friend of the family.
Who wants to get really fucked up? - Uh, maybe you should put it away.
- It's not a party, Dougherty.
I know it's not a party, retard.
No.
No, you don't.
Romeo! Nice one, Williams.
Hey hey, are you OK? I'm fucking fine.
Yeah.
But it is kinda weird.
Hmm.
Without Vince.
Mmm.
Nat told me what he did.
You knew about that, right? I knew about the affair, yes.
Course you did.
It's just so shit.
That's how she's gonna remember him.
How they're all gonna remember him.
I mean, what is it with you men? Oh, are you telling me that dykes never have affairs? Oh, God.
I had a pact with Vince.
Yeah? He promised me a kid if I ever wanted one.
Oh, he was such a thoughtful guy.
Oh, I had to fuck him.
Naturally.
- That was the deal.
- No turkey basters.
It was about a year ago, at Jason's 40th.
Hey, hey, hey, hey.
That is how I'm gonna start his eulogy.
"Here lies a man who always thought with his cock.
" Oh, you 're good-looking, you 're funny, but you don't have a girlfriend.
What's wrong with you? I don't know.
I just I don't know.
Ask my shrink.
Aww.
Hey, are we meant to be doing the washing-up? No, we're going outside to smoke a joint.
Come on, Doctor.
Hey, is Elle still a lesbian? Why? Curiosity.
Is that what you call it? I just remember a time when she wasn't, though.
That's all.
Mmm.
I have to pee.
Ally.
I need to talk to you.
I have to go to the It's about the Sorry.
Hi.
Hi.
You hungry? Yeah! OK, well, just take a seat and I'll get you something to eat.
Sure.
Hello.
Hi.
A hot dog.
A sausage roll.
I have the munchies so bad.
Yeah, I've got the munchies.
There's a pavlova at Romeo's house.
Really? Yep.
I could ravish a pavlova! Really? No, I could definitely go a pavlova.
Can you imagine Having one and just going ugh! just ravishing both of them at the same time? You still bogart the joint.
I'm just having a puff, OK? Why don't we all live in the same city? 'Cause you wouldn't pay my tax bill.
You are fucking cheeky.
You know how much trouble I got into because of you? She's a tough old bitch, your wife.
I am so fuckin' stoned.
Did you see that pavlova in there? Oh! OK, let's go.
Mmm.
This is good.
Did your mum make it? Yeah.
Be civilised.
Come on! Thanks, Gretchen! That is That is amazing.
It needs a little bit more passionfruit.
That is a proper pavlova right there.
I actually hand-picked these.
I don't think it ever tasted this good.
Christine, great job you 've done today.
Oh, thanks.
Great dinner.
Oh, thanks.
This is a token of our gratitude.
We just thought we'd, um yeah.
Oh, thanks.
I hope I haven't offended you.
No, no.
Ah, Max, we're off.
See ya.
See ya.
- Uh, Tim? - Tim, we're heading.
Uh, I need to speak to Ally.
I think she's already asleep.
See you, everyone.
'Bye.
'Bye.
'Bye.
I'm sorry, Ally.
Oh, it's OK, Huey.
I know About I I heard about the affair.
Oh.
That was probably inappropriate for me to bring that up.
I know how much he loved you.
Really loved you.
You know, this whole thing, with everyone around, it feels like he's still so here.
I can hear his comments in my head.
It's like he's sitting on my shoulder.
You know, and he's just told me to take my grubby hands off his wife.
I miss him so much already.
You need to go to bed.
Thank you.
"Vince was the greatest" Cockhead.
The greatest Arsehole.
Well, fuck him, anyway.
I have to write this thing.
No, you can wing it.
Yeah, right! I'll end up saying " Vince was the greatest arsehole I ever met in my life.
" Well, you could stop at 'greatest' and then people could fill in how they feel.
You know, just write from your heart.
I can't.
Imagine you were writing this two months ago.
You know he wouldn't have let you go.
He would have given you a week to get over it and then he would have turned up at your house.
And you would have forgiven him.
I thought we decided yesterday we weren't gonna do this again.
Yeah, but then there was last night.
Oh, hey, babe.
How are you and Bunnikins? Where's Gabriel? He's writing a speech about your dad.
Oh, no way.
No, you can't wear that.
Why not? Oh, come on.
You 've gotta look a little bit sexy.
Her husband just died, Nat.
Who's she gonna look sexy for? Herself.
Oh, I'm not wearing that.
OK, what about that one? No.
I'm not celebrating, Nat.
I know that, sweetie.
I think she should just feel comfortable.
Yeah.
She can still look good.
Try this on.
Mum? When's the car coming? 2:30.
It's OK.
The car can wait.
There is one more spot in the car.
Um, then maybe you should take Joe.
Good idea.
See? That's better.
I think she looks just as good as she did in the last dress.
- That's an insight.
- It's fine.
I don't care, anyway.
Just let me put some make-up on.
I'm just gonna go and check if they've sorted everything out out there.
Thanks, Christine.
You 've been amazing.
It's gonna get better.
Is it me or does this whole thing seem to be taking on a really bizarre edge? Yeah.
Both.
Alright, let's go.
Good luck.
Whatever you do, don't do that in the church.
No, seriously.
Promise me.
OK, let's go.
Which way? This way, this way, this way.
Vince is Vince was one of the greatest human beings I've ever met.
When we were kids, Vince always said he wasn't gonna grow old, he was just gonna be the greatest at whatever he did.
He was the greatest person I've ever met at being able to live life in the present.
And he never seemed overly concerned with either the past or the future.
Stop it, Nat.
I'm sorry.
I'm sorry.
Hello.
I'm Ally.
I'm Tanya.
Thanks for coming.
I hope you come back to the house.
Uh, no.
No.
Thank you.
Have you eaten something? Yeah.
What did you have? They're homemade.
Much better in that dress.
Just excuse me one second.
Um, Ally? Excuse me.
Sorry.
Um, I think we need to organise a time to have a chat.
I know it's a bit crazy at the moment, but some of Vince's business affairs need ironing out.
OK.
Hey, Ally, do you remember Angie from school? Hi, Ally.
Hi.
How are you holding up? Alright, thanks.
Hey.
What? Um What? Wanna do a line? A line? Oh, my God.
You 're serious.
A line of what? Speed.
Fuck it.
Why not? Is she related to you in any way? - No, she's a freak.
- And not in a good way.
Yeah.
Yeah, she doesn't talk.
Bullseye! That was intense.
Yeah.
Hi.
Yeah.
Either come in and close the door or stand outside and wait.
I don't know how you can do this to Ally.
Really, I don't.
What's going on? Well, your friend Nat is in there with No, I mean with you and this.
What? I haven't seen you for days.
You 're not at work.
You 're always here.
Well, Ally needs me.
Christine, I need you.
Oh, there's something bigger than you.
Oh, Tim, just go and have another drink.
It'll do you good.
Oh! It's you.
Yes, it's me.
You know when you kissed me outside your apartment? Was that only last week? Well, it proves the theory a lot can happen in a week.
That kiss outside That was one of the most beautiful kisses.
I'm not gonna kiss you, Ally.
What? This is Vince's wake.
Ally, Ally, Ally! Oh, Jesus.
- Oh, Jesus.
- Oh, my God.
- Tim! - Oh, Jesus.
Come on, sweetie.
Come on.
This way.
Oh, God.
Please tell me that's not my rabbit.
Dougherty! Dougherty, you arsehole, I know you 're out here! Dougherty! What? Write that shit in the condolence book? No.
You 're a fucking liar.
What goes on inside your head? You don't get it, do you? Look, what's the big deal? It's funny.
It's funny, is it? Get out of my house.
Why? You 're a deadshit! Get out! You too.
Are you sure you don't wanna stay here? Yeah, I gotta get out of here.
Do you have anywhere you can stay? Yeah, I'll be fine.
You know, no decent bloke is gonna go near you for a couple of years.
They all smell fresh widow.
Gigi Oh, baby Oh, baby.
Tangle S02E01 - Cortege
You take a risk - pff, whatever.
You take a risk and then go further.
That's what makes it stand out.
You stay away from me, you rancid little piece of shit! I wanna have another baby.
You 're fucking kidding me, right? It's what I want.
Alright.
Alright, I'm an arsehole, am I? Yeah.
What? I'm happy, Ally's happy.
Everyone's happy.
It's all predicated on the hospital site being redeveloped.
That deal goes through with his name on the papers, we are gonna be ashes scattered on parliament steps.
You need to get out of this deal.
Well, that's not gonna happen.
Look, I know you 're stupid, but you 're not naive.
We don't let low-life builders come in and screw with us.
What do you want from me? Fuck off! Lose the accent! You can't live here and sound like that.
You 're happy her life's fallen apart.
- This is laughable.
- No, admit it.
You 're jealous.
What is it about her that you like so much? You had an affair with her, you were out drinking with her, you can't keep away from her! There is SOMETHING.
Just be man enough and mature enough to tell me - what is it? Do you really see yourself as my mum? Well, I AM your mother.
Yeah, but you 're not really.
I mean, you missed that boat.
Well, you know, it's not really you, is it? Are you gonna stay together? Yeah, mate.
Yeah, we will.
It'll be fine.
I fucked up.
I know, alright? Am I sorry? Yeah, I am.
You were about to do it again.
I don't hate you, Ally.
I fucked someone else, alright? It was never about you.
Where's Mum? Well, she found out Dad was having an affair with Charlotte's mum.
We don't know where she is.
Pizza? I told Mum about Gabriel and Em - that it was a lie.
I said she was stupid because she couldn't figure it out.
I'm sorry, Dad.
Does that mean I have to give my rabbit back? Yeah.
Yeah, it means you have to give your rabbit back.
You 're damn right you have to give your rabbit back.
Oh! Um Ally! I'm going to be a bit crazy for a while.
I kissed Gabriel.
Yeah, well I can't really take the high moral ground, now, can I? I don't think you 're being fair, though.
Why? Get his hopes up.
Maybe he should.
I'm gonna fight for this family.
I'm not gonna lose it.
Isn't this so cute? Look, you won, OK? Just take your wife home.
You know what? Maybe you wanna try tennis next time.
I don't need a mercy fuck.
Do you want one? She's never gonna leave him.
Jesus.
Tangle S02E01 - Cortege Are you on any other medication right now? Any birth control? My husband and I the problems we were having, they were I thought I might get my libido back if I stopped taking them.
And we talked about having another baby.
Don't you think that's why you 've stopped sleeping? No.
My husband died, so It was stupid, really.
I think that's probably why I haven't been sleeping.
Oh, Ally.
When did this happen? I'm so sorry.
It must have been very sudden.
Yeah.
It's all a bit of a shock.
The funeral's tomorrow.

It's a wide open road ? It's a wide open road ? It's a wide open road ? It's a wide open road ? It's a wide open road ? It's a wide open road ? It's a wide open road ? It's a wide open road ? And now you can go any place That you want to go Oh, Ally, honey, hi.
Are you OK to see people right now? Well, Father Paul's been waiting, and a few more people have arrived.
Hey.
I'm so sorry.
I can't believe you came all this way.
Lucinda wanted to come too.
You 're staying, aren't you? Yeah, no, Tallulah's here, the little rascal.
Oh, Ally.
It's just the saddest thing.
You two just had such a big love.
- Come here, beautiful.
- Jackie wishes she could be here.
What? - What was that, Elle? - I'll get that.
Was it a bad thing to say? I'll get it, Ally.
Oh, you 've been in my prayers, Ally.
If you need anything - Is that Joe? - Yeah.
Do you wanna talk about it? Oh no, just one second.
Yeah, sure.
Take your time.
Take your time.
Thanks for coming.
The whole thing's been Well, it's just such a I think I'm still in shock.
But I guess you must be too.
Not really.
I'm sorry, could you speak up? I'm just having trouble hearing.
Oh, yes, of course.
Sorry.
And just so we're clear, that has to be the last time.
Right.
You think you have self-control, do you? Yeah, just like that.
Gabriel? Sorry.
Um, it's the cemetery.
Ah, OK.
Just tell them to hold on.
I'll talk to Huey.
Oh, right, OK.
Um, could you just hang on a minute? He'll be right back.
How've you been? Same as always.
Sorry.
Actually, can I have that? Thanks.
We've got a confirmed space at Melbourne Cemetery.
We can't afford that.
Nah, don't worry about it.
Huey's covering it.
He wanted to do something.
What does he care? He's got buckets of money.
Do you think Vince would be happy to be there? Yes.
But look, there are two plots, so they need you to go and have a look, decide which one you want.
I can't believe it.
Will you come with me? The more things change Um, Ally, I think you need to talk to Gigi.
What? I think we should all go.
Go where? Choose Vince's plot.
You out of your mind? As if he'd want us there choosing where he ends up.
No, I want you all there.
I'll take that.
Um, she's under the table.
I wanna go to school.
Why? Is there someone you need to see, sweetie? No.
- What is it? - Ally? Oh! So sorry.
I'll talk to you later.
I'm OK.
I just wanna go to school.
We're all gonna have a look at where Dad's gonna end up.
Come on, we've gotta go.
I need to go to the toilet.
- Can you hang on? - No.
Well, just go behind No! Well, I don't know, Gigi.
Mmm.
Yeah, this is it.
Soil's pretty lush.
For growing something on on the grave.
I'm gonna pee my pants.
Where's Romeo? I'll go find him.
Um, let's find a toilet.
Hey.
Hey.
We're over here.
This place is amazing.
Yeah.
Are you OK, kid? I feel pretty shit.
Yeah.
Me too.
Guess you wish you hadn't thrown that punch, eh? Yeah.
Guess I'm wishing that.
He was pretty complicated, eh? He loved you and Gigi.
Would have done anything for you two.
Was just reading the gravestones.
What do you think? It's good.
It's good.
Remember all the times he DIDN'T die? Like when he climbed up on top of the school building and everyone saw him, and the teachers were all so freaked out.
And then he managed to somehow scale his way down the other side.
Remember that? No.
I wasn't there.
I was good, remember? I was always in class.
He was crazy, but, God, he was so alive.
Back in the old days.
Remember when he jumped off the rocks up at the point and he couldn't get back in? And the whole beach was watching him but no-one wanted to go out and get him because of the rocks - it was too dangerous.
We started thinking that, you know this was it.
I never thought he'd ever die.
What about you, Uncle Joe? Do you have any stories? No, you don't wanna know that stuff, mate.
Just call me Joe.
Hi.
Where are you? I'm at Ally's.
Oh, give her my love, won't you? Oh, actually, I'm going to the supermarket.
Well, she's got a lot of people staying, and I'm, um you know, helping.
Oh.
I just dropped in for a minute, but I haven't been able to leave.
It's really it's quite amazing.
So I'm just organising dinner for everyone tonight.
So you 're staying there until then? Um, I think so.
As long as I'm needed, really.
OK.
Well, uh Oh Oh, I've gotta make a call.
OK.
Hey, has Ally mentioned anything about Vince's deal? No, Tim.
Oh.
OK.
She won't even let anyone talk about the will, which no-one can find.
OK.
Well, we'll talk later.
Love you.
See you tonight.
Hello? Hello, Nicky? Yeah, Tim Williams.
Right.
Well, I'd rather do this face to face.
Sure.
I'll meet you there in an hour.
See you in an hour.
OK.
'Bye.
I cannot have the sale of this hospital go through with his name anywhere near that agreement.
Well, Vince won't be the contracted builder anymore.
That makes the link almost impossible to trace back to you.
Yes, but the estate goes to his wife, and Ally is my son's aunt.
I can't afford to have that link.
Can we get her to sign it? No, that's not appropriate.
When do you announce the sale of the hospital? I can't answer that.
I know you 're going to announce the sale soon.
If we could get her to sign She's in the middle of organising her husband's funeral.
We're talking about $350,000.
She'll need financial security.
Can you think about it? Hey.
Hey.
Brother McCawley said we had to pray for you today.
He said we had to feel you in our hearts and in our prayers.
Are you serious? The guy's a pedo, man.
For sure.
Yep.
Everyone signed a card.
It's pretty rank, but, you know, I guess it's just everyone wanting to let you know that that that it's pretty fucking shit what happened.
Thanks.
I met my uncle.
For the first time.
Dad would never talk about him except to say he was a loser.
There's so many people in my house at the moment.
You got any weed? No.
I can text Dougherty, though.
I found this note my dad wrote three days ago.
It's like if I hold this, he's still alive.
It's weird, right? It's not weird.
What's for dinner? What's that supposed to mean? Well, it was just a question.
I'm sorry, but you 're gonna have to forget about what's gone on between us.
OK? Because this is a funeral It's forgotten.
Why do I just feel like necking alcohol? Maybe you should take Gigi out, buy her a new rabbit.
Where is she? Oh, under a table or in a cupboard somewhere.
I can't do the eulogy.
I told you to say no! Get Huey to do it.
Apparently he's got some phobia about public speaking.
Oh, come on.
Someone who's that successful? Who asked you to do it? Ally.
Ally.
Oh, you 've gotta do it.
Yeah, well, I've just discovered a phobia of my own.
Oh, this isn't about you.
This is about Ally.
Maybe you should say something, Christine.
You 're good at that sort of thing.
You know, being upfront and saying how it is.
Ally, are you OK? Charlotte's here.
I DON'T want her mother at the funeral.
We can organise that.
See what I mean, Christine? Up front.
Look, um, Ally, the kids are down at the park.
Want me to take Charlotte down there? I told her.
I'm gonna take Gigi out.
- Tim! - Billy.
Like you to meet Spiros Giorgiades.
Hi.
Tim, great to finally meet you properly.
We thought we might give you a new advisor.
Oh! Yeah, an up-and-comer.
Great.
Very ambitious.
We've got some big plans for you, Tim.
By the way, um I didn't know you were partial to a Fanta pants.
Oh, look, I wasn't No, not saying it's any of my business, Tim.
But I did want to mention That family line you took with Max worked really well.
And I wouldn't want you to lose that.
It's not what you think.
Oh, and l'll need you to announce the sale of the hospital by the end of the week.
Help you look good with our friends in Treasury, OK? That's the boy.
What exactly do you do? Mate, I'd like to tell you, but I'd end up boring you, but most of all, I'd probably end up boring myself.
So IT.
High-end IT.
Yeah.
Yeah.
So I'm just curious to know how you make so much money, that's all.
I'd rather you be curious Well, there's this one, but it's really hard to cut out Gigi there.
- So I think my favourite would be - This one.
It's very smiley.
What do you think? Look, I think it's fine.
But at the end of the day, you need to talk to OK, so Huey and Romeo at the front.
Joe, you can take the back, behind Romeo.
Steve, you and Jason can take the middle.
I'm not doing that.
Coffin.
Well, Romeo won't be able to carry any weight.
We need you there for the height.
- Joe, come on.
- He's your brother.
Please.
Joe? I'm going for a cigarette.
Hey.
I'm sorry about Mum brought this.
Oh, thanks, sweetheart.
Thanks.
Where's Romeo? Oh, they're all at the park.
You know, down the road.
Freak! What do you mean? Like in the sun.
What are you talking about? What's he talking about? Someone order this? Took you long enough.
Got any papers? Yeah.
Where are you going? Get some more wine.
We haven't got enough.
I'll come with you.
No, it's alright.
Gabriel.
I know you feel bad about what happened between you and Vince.
You don't know how I feel.
I know you don't wanna do the eulogy.
But I also know you have to.
He knows everything now.
He knows what's going through my head, what's going through yours.
You will do it, won't you? Yes, Ally, I will do it.
Why didn't you just catch a train? Just thought I'd walk.
I'm not allowed to walk.
My mum would kill me.
She always has to pick me up from the train.
What, she thinks you 're gonna get raped or something? Exactly! She's such a retard.
You guys are so lucky you don't have to wear hats and stupid tunics.
I've got, like, three detentions for not wearing this hat already.
Pass us the weed.
Hey, who's the sullen chick? Some friend of the family.
Who wants to get really fucked up? - Uh, maybe you should put it away.
- It's not a party, Dougherty.
I know it's not a party, retard.
No.
No, you don't.
Romeo! Nice one, Williams.
Hey hey, are you OK? I'm fucking fine.
Yeah.
But it is kinda weird.
Hmm.
Without Vince.
Mmm.
Nat told me what he did.
You knew about that, right? I knew about the affair, yes.
Course you did.
It's just so shit.
That's how she's gonna remember him.
How they're all gonna remember him.
I mean, what is it with you men? Oh, are you telling me that dykes never have affairs? Oh, God.
I had a pact with Vince.
Yeah? He promised me a kid if I ever wanted one.
Oh, he was such a thoughtful guy.
Oh, I had to fuck him.
Naturally.
- That was the deal.
- No turkey basters.
It was about a year ago, at Jason's 40th.
Hey, hey, hey, hey.
That is how I'm gonna start his eulogy.
"Here lies a man who always thought with his cock.
" Oh, you 're good-looking, you 're funny, but you don't have a girlfriend.
What's wrong with you? I don't know.
I just I don't know.
Ask my shrink.
Aww.
Hey, are we meant to be doing the washing-up? No, we're going outside to smoke a joint.
Come on, Doctor.
Hey, is Elle still a lesbian? Why? Curiosity.
Is that what you call it? I just remember a time when she wasn't, though.
That's all.
Mmm.
I have to pee.
Ally.
I need to talk to you.
I have to go to the It's about the Sorry.
Hi.
Hi.
You hungry? Yeah! OK, well, just take a seat and I'll get you something to eat.
Sure.
Hello.
Hi.
A hot dog.
A sausage roll.
I have the munchies so bad.
Yeah, I've got the munchies.
There's a pavlova at Romeo's house.
Really? Yep.
I could ravish a pavlova! Really? No, I could definitely go a pavlova.
Can you imagine Having one and just going ugh! just ravishing both of them at the same time? You still bogart the joint.
I'm just having a puff, OK? Why don't we all live in the same city? 'Cause you wouldn't pay my tax bill.
You are fucking cheeky.
You know how much trouble I got into because of you? She's a tough old bitch, your wife.
I am so fuckin' stoned.
Did you see that pavlova in there? Oh! OK, let's go.
Mmm.
This is good.
Did your mum make it? Yeah.
Be civilised.
Come on! Thanks, Gretchen! That is That is amazing.
It needs a little bit more passionfruit.
That is a proper pavlova right there.
I actually hand-picked these.
I don't think it ever tasted this good.
Christine, great job you 've done today.
Oh, thanks.
Great dinner.
Oh, thanks.
This is a token of our gratitude.
We just thought we'd, um yeah.
Oh, thanks.
I hope I haven't offended you.
No, no.
Ah, Max, we're off.
See ya.
See ya.
- Uh, Tim? - Tim, we're heading.
Uh, I need to speak to Ally.
I think she's already asleep.
See you, everyone.
'Bye.
'Bye.
'Bye.
I'm sorry, Ally.
Oh, it's OK, Huey.
I know About I I heard about the affair.
Oh.
That was probably inappropriate for me to bring that up.
I know how much he loved you.
Really loved you.
You know, this whole thing, with everyone around, it feels like he's still so here.
I can hear his comments in my head.
It's like he's sitting on my shoulder.
You know, and he's just told me to take my grubby hands off his wife.
I miss him so much already.
You need to go to bed.
Thank you.
"Vince was the greatest" Cockhead.
The greatest Arsehole.
Well, fuck him, anyway.
I have to write this thing.
No, you can wing it.
Yeah, right! I'll end up saying " Vince was the greatest arsehole I ever met in my life.
" Well, you could stop at 'greatest' and then people could fill in how they feel.
You know, just write from your heart.
I can't.
Imagine you were writing this two months ago.
You know he wouldn't have let you go.
He would have given you a week to get over it and then he would have turned up at your house.
And you would have forgiven him.
I thought we decided yesterday we weren't gonna do this again.
Yeah, but then there was last night.
Oh, hey, babe.
How are you and Bunnikins? Where's Gabriel? He's writing a speech about your dad.
Oh, no way.
No, you can't wear that.
Why not? Oh, come on.
You 've gotta look a little bit sexy.
Her husband just died, Nat.
Who's she gonna look sexy for? Herself.
Oh, I'm not wearing that.
OK, what about that one? No.
I'm not celebrating, Nat.
I know that, sweetie.
I think she should just feel comfortable.
Yeah.
She can still look good.
Try this on.
Mum? When's the car coming? 2:30.
It's OK.
The car can wait.
There is one more spot in the car.
Um, then maybe you should take Joe.
Good idea.
See? That's better.
I think she looks just as good as she did in the last dress.
- That's an insight.
- It's fine.
I don't care, anyway.
Just let me put some make-up on.
I'm just gonna go and check if they've sorted everything out out there.
Thanks, Christine.
You 've been amazing.
It's gonna get better.
Is it me or does this whole thing seem to be taking on a really bizarre edge? Yeah.
Both.
Alright, let's go.
Good luck.
Whatever you do, don't do that in the church.
No, seriously.
Promise me.
OK, let's go.
Which way? This way, this way, this way.
Vince is Vince was one of the greatest human beings I've ever met.
When we were kids, Vince always said he wasn't gonna grow old, he was just gonna be the greatest at whatever he did.
He was the greatest person I've ever met at being able to live life in the present.
And he never seemed overly concerned with either the past or the future.
Stop it, Nat.
I'm sorry.
I'm sorry.
Hello.
I'm Ally.
I'm Tanya.
Thanks for coming.
I hope you come back to the house.
Uh, no.
No.
Thank you.
Have you eaten something? Yeah.
What did you have? They're homemade.
Much better in that dress.
Just excuse me one second.
Um, Ally? Excuse me.
Sorry.
Um, I think we need to organise a time to have a chat.
I know it's a bit crazy at the moment, but some of Vince's business affairs need ironing out.
OK.
Hey, Ally, do you remember Angie from school? Hi, Ally.
Hi.
How are you holding up? Alright, thanks.
Hey.
What? Um What? Wanna do a line? A line? Oh, my God.
You 're serious.
A line of what? Speed.
Fuck it.
Why not? Is she related to you in any way? - No, she's a freak.
- And not in a good way.
Yeah.
Yeah, she doesn't talk.
Bullseye! That was intense.
Yeah.
Hi.
Yeah.
Either come in and close the door or stand outside and wait.
I don't know how you can do this to Ally.
Really, I don't.
What's going on? Well, your friend Nat is in there with No, I mean with you and this.
What? I haven't seen you for days.
You 're not at work.
You 're always here.
Well, Ally needs me.
Christine, I need you.
Oh, there's something bigger than you.
Oh, Tim, just go and have another drink.
It'll do you good.
Oh! It's you.
Yes, it's me.
You know when you kissed me outside your apartment? Was that only last week? Well, it proves the theory a lot can happen in a week.
That kiss outside That was one of the most beautiful kisses.
I'm not gonna kiss you, Ally.
What? This is Vince's wake.
Ally, Ally, Ally! Oh, Jesus.
- Oh, Jesus.
- Oh, my God.
- Tim! - Oh, Jesus.
Come on, sweetie.
Come on.
This way.
Oh, God.
Please tell me that's not my rabbit.
Dougherty! Dougherty, you arsehole, I know you 're out here! Dougherty! What? Write that shit in the condolence book? No.
You 're a fucking liar.
What goes on inside your head? You don't get it, do you? Look, what's the big deal? It's funny.
It's funny, is it? Get out of my house.
Why? You 're a deadshit! Get out! You too.
Are you sure you don't wanna stay here? Yeah, I gotta get out of here.
Do you have anywhere you can stay? Yeah, I'll be fine.
You know, no decent bloke is gonna go near you for a couple of years.
They all smell fresh widow.
Gigi Oh, baby Oh, baby.
