One
1 Well, it's been 12 weeks.
Novelty worn off? Now, the choices that you make now really matter.
AUDREY: I kept arguing for a natural birth because I'd read all this stuff and and, uh, we nearly lost her, so You're not number one anymore.
- You buying? - Drugs? No.
I've just got her to sleep.
She's a really light sleeper - Not my problem.
- Uh, what's your cheapest drug? There's no point whingeing - about what you've lost - (STEVIE CRIES) I don't really feel like me.
I don't know, you want me to be some kind of on-call second mother thing.
Yeah, 'grandmother' is the word you're looking for.
This is my home.
Just like the one you live in.
Don't you forget that.
Let's look instead at what you've gained.
Our new mum brains are just getting rid of shit that they don't need so before they start expanding with all the new learning and multi-tasking.
This is motherhood.
I'm, like, seriously bad at this.
You're all in this together.
- Audrey, is it? - Mm.
You're late.
Oh, my God.
- Whoo! - (CHEERING) Yeah! All the stars above bars We're human, yeah, you and I Mother! Sucker! Mother! Sucker! - I've been offered a new job.

- No, that's not a cross - Yes, it is.
- That's a plus sign.
- That's a cro No.
Oh, God! We'll have two under two in Adelaide! (HAPPY BIRTHDAY PLAYS) AUDREY: God, she couldn't have just put something in the post? JEREMY: Yeah, we never send them stuff.
(LAUGHS) Uh, no, you don't.
I do.
I probably spent more on their first birthdays than I have on Stevie's.
(PARTY HORN BLOWS) Dreadful.
What do you want to watch? Um, Crown? (LAUGHS) You do realise they've changed Princess Margarets? Oh.
Who is it now? Helena Bonham-Carter.
Still got good production Do you want to just watch the end of Glow? Thought so.
OK.
- Yep.
Alright, ready? - Mm-hm.
One, two, three, play.
Wait, wait, wait, it's still connecting.
Wifi is shit in Adelaide.
Just tether.
Tethering.
Hold on.
Anything can happen when you're just like me I'm running carelessly through a maze How unexpected I'm under lock and key in a world OK, and this goes on Anything can happen Oh, that goes on there, then.
Does it? I'm running carelessly through a maze What? Oh Well, how does that? I'm under lock and key How do I plug? Eh? (SIGHS) (DOOR OPENS AND CLOSES) MAN: (ON COMPUTER) My name's Matt and I'm gonna show you how to brew a perfect coffee using VERITY: Hello, Stevie, darling.
- Ooh, good night? - First, take the - No - give it a clean - Oh, thanks, Mum.
- attach the funnel to the end You need an engineering degree to work this thing out, which Jeremy has, but he's not here, is he? Audrey, when are you joining him? Because I want to finish the painting before I move back in and, uh, did you see the job they did in my office? Yeah, looks amazing.
But can we just let him get through probation? Which he may not.
He's not instantly likeable.
Have a sip.
He is likeable, isn't he? - Very.
- Yeah.
Oh, do these look handmade? - As if I could have made them? - I guess so.
Why? What on earth Well, they'll hang off a stick or a branch or something.
And these are plastic, but do you reckon they pass for bamboo? No.
Maybe I shouldn't use plastic at all.
Everyone's so anti.
I mean, I am too.
Sophie had real cutlery at hers.
At the park.
Audrey, darling, what's happened to you? When you turned one, all we did was wrap up a present you already owned.
I mean, they don't know what's going on at this age.
But they see the photos when they're older.
Or note the absence of them.
Sophie had a unicorn at hers.
I mean, it was a pony with a horn, but it was very believable.
Sounds like Sophie wasn't loved enough as a child.
You still OK to look after Stevie this afternoon? - What? - I'm getting my hair done, remember? Sophie had a full makeover for hers.
Yeah, g-good idea, yes, good.
Lovely surprise for Jeremy.
OK.
What are we going to do with this? Just a trim, thanks.
And a blow dry.
Out tonight? Big weekend? Uh, I've got a party tomorrow.
So actually a bit of volume would be good, it gets quite flat on top.
Mm.
You got it, babe.
OK, so with the trim, the styling and the conditioning treatment, that comes to $280.
Does it? OK, great, yeah.
No problem.
Thank you.
- Do you love it? It looks amazing.
- Yeah.
Yeah, it's brilliant.
Thank you so much.
Gosh You look 10 years older.
Thank you.
I think I preferred it before.
Well, obviously.
Why didn't you say something? I did! When she asked if I liked it, I did a high-pitched yes.
Everyone knows that's code for no.
No, don't touch it! There's no movement! Yeah, right.
Very firm.
Stay away from the candles tomorrow.
That could go up.
Evening, folks.
It's your captain here.
Flying time to Sydney this evening will be just under two hours.
- Oh.
- (LAUGHS) (YELLS) Oh, wow.
Um, would you like that back? There you go, mate.
- Sorry, is she OK? - Yeah, yeah, yeah.
She's a beauty.
Yeah, I'm flying back for my little one's first birthday.
Hi! Hello.

Thank you.
Wake up! Oh, don't do that, Luna! Alright? OK, can you not talk to my child like that? (CRIES) (DOOR CLOSES) Oh, finally.
You'll have to get ice in the morning now before you borrow Matt's mower and do the yard.
Hello to you too.
How you doing? You OK? Not too tired? Huh? Oh, sorry.

We love you.
Blah, blah.
How was the flight? You eaten? Yeah.
I ate in the lounge.
- Oh, lucky you.
I had cake batter.
- Yum! Looks incredible, Aud.
How many are coming? I don't know.
No-one RSVPs these days.
It's an outrage.
Right, well, I'm gonna go and kiss our one-year-old.
Shit! - Don't wake her.
- I won't.
I'll just look at her - and then I'm all yours.
- OK.
Chocolate crackles.
- Blast from the past.
- (LAUGHS) Can one-year-olds eat chocolate crackles? Well, they're for the big kids and the adults.
It's fun.
- What's wrong? They're sugar free.
- Yes.
- I used rice syrup instead.
- Is rice a sweetener? - Shit.
Are they alright? - Yeah, no, they're yummy.
Did you use rice in all of the things? OK, no, good.
Well, that's healthy.
And you get a-a real kick with the cocoa.
It's, um It's like an after taste.
Might just I like your hair.
- (PHONE RINGS) (WHISPERS) - Shit.
- (STEVIE MURMURS) - Fuck.
Sorry, baby.
Sorry.
- (INCOMING MESSAGE DING) - Oh! (CRIES) How's this? This OK? More, you need heaps more.
But you've got to mix it through thoroughly Just leave it.
I'll do it.
Shall we just finish this in the morning? It's one o'clock.
I can't! I've got to create this! Why don't we just ice it and cover it in Smarties? Smarties? No.
Barb did that.
That's not creative.
(CRIES) - Oh.
I'll go.
- Oh, jeez.
- Bottle? - No, just put her in with you.
We co-sleeping again? - After all the - No.
But it's morning.
You wanna spend the next few hours cot training? Fuck, no! - Unless you want me to? - Just go.
It's gonna be incredible, Aud.
Thank you.
And here is one more.
What's this? It's a picture book of Adelaide for when you guys finally join me.
Oh, wow! Look at that! You and Mummy are gonna love it there.
So many churches! No wonder Daddy likes it.
It's not just churches, there's the Adelaide Oval, Rundle Mall, Central Market, State Library, Mount Lofty.
Oh, thanks, Daddy! (CHUCKLES) Now go and get the ice.
We've got to move.
We've got so much to do.
The events guys are gonna be here soon.
- Huh? - I had to hire matching chairs! Quick! OK, so, um, Sophie and Ziggy have Ziggy.
Mm.
Barb and Neale have Kate, and the twins Can't remember their names.
Ah, Martha has Teddy.
And she's a lesbian.
Funny how you remember that.
- Ester and Ruben have Eva - Oh, hang on, are they coming? I couldn't very well not invite them, could I? Oh, really? I couldn't.
Now, go upstairs and finish the toilet and light the scented candle.
- And what is she wearing? - Uh, Mum bought it.
She can't wear that.
She looks like a Kardashian.
Put her in her new overalls and take off the fleece.
- Yeah, good.
- Oh, and Jeremy.
- Yep? - Make sure I'm in the shower at least 10 minutes before people are due.
I need to wash this out.
Copy that.
BARB: Stop it! Get away from! - Hello! - Oh, hi.
10am.
Wow! Why would you make it at 10:00? No-one does anything before 10:00.
Oh, sorry.
Did you, um, get your hair done? Oh, yes, a blow wave, tres chic.
(MOUTHS) - Oh, there you are.
- Oh, Barb, I said no presents.
It's alright.
Just don't put batteries in it.
Thanks for inviting us.
The more kids you have, the less invites you get.
It's a little linen dress.
Sorry, couldn't help myself.
Oh, wow.
Is there somewhere we could just set this up? Sorry, 10am is Ziggy Jr's nap time.
Right? It's everyone's nap time.

Rookie error.
Jeremy will take you in.

You want some brie? - Oh, that's d'Affinois.
- You want d'Affinois? There are some chocolate crackles here, kids.
- (POP!) - Grab one of them.
Happy birthday.
(SPLUTTERS) What's wrong? - Yuck.
- What's wrong with it? Oh, everything's sugar free, except the lollies on the cake.
So they're good for them.
Oh, yeah, no, our kids don't eat anything without sugar.
Ziggy Jr is asleep.
Oh, great.
Oh, no thank you.
And he's watching his cholesterol.
Yeah, I only eat cheese in France.
Oh, it is French.
It's d'Affinois.
No, French cheese is non-pasteurised, that's what gives it that kind of that kick.
- My ex-wife was French - He's crying.
Ziggy's crying.
Shit.
Well, these decorations are gorgeous! - Oh.
- (LAUGHS) Did you do them yourself? - Mm-hm.
- I can tell.

- Oh, happy birthday, darling.
Got a kiss for Bella Nonna? Hey, wow! New haircut? Yep.
(LAUGHS) Oh, that's divine.
I know, I'd wear it.
The invitation said no presents.
Happy birthday, Stevie Nicks, you don't look a day over 11 months.
- So what'd you get her? - Darling, it said "No presents.
" (CRIES) Not from you! And I didn't mean it.
I was just trying to seem non-materialistic and cool.
Look what Carol got her.
Plus a lovely outfit.
If you're trying to set up some sort of rivalry between us, it won't work.
Are they here, are they? No, I told you - they've both just had their cataracts done.
They're completely blind right now.
Evidently.
Gosh, this has held.
Don't touch it.
It'll hold till her 21st at this rate.
- (PHONE RINGS) - Oh, I have to take this.
Courtney's having an emotional affair.
OK, great.
Well, we're outside.
(GRIZZLES) Yeah, your grandma got you nothing.
I would be upset too.
Hey.
Hi, Ester.
Hi.
- Ruben.
- Hey, mate.
And Ova? - Eva.
- Eva.
Knew it was a vowel.
- Yep.
- (CHUCKLES) Oh.
Oh (CLEARS THROAT) Thanks for the invite.
Appreciate it.
Oh, mate, it's water under the bridge.
Yeah.
So how's the City of Churches? Enjoying the commute? - Pros and cons.
- Quite a few pros.
Uninterrupted sleep, serviced apartment, business lounge.
- What's not to love? - Adelaide.
(CHUCKLES) I can say that, I was born there.
So - I mean, I left when I was four.
- Yeah? Been there recently? It's actually like a more intimate Sydney these days.
Is it? DAVE: Hello? - Hi.
- Dave, hi.
(LAUGHS) Great.
Uh, where's Martha? - Oh, she not here yet? - No.
Oh, I was just dropping Teddy off.
Hi, everyone.
Well, you should stay, definitely stay.
I told her to invite you.
- (LAUGHS) Yeah.
- Happy birthday, Stevie.
Happy birthday.
We've just been to swimming lessons.
God, I've got to enrol her.
I keep forgetting they can't swim.
Do you always go with him? Yeah, Martha doesn't like getting her hair wet.
You know, all the chlorine and she's got so much hair, it just takes so long to dry.
But, hey, um, your hair's looking good.
Thank you.
Yeah, come on in.
JEREMY: Uh-uh-uh, plenty of Honey Joys and things.
Come on, rack off.
(INDISTINCT CHATTER) - Hey, George.
- That's for you.
Eggs.
Look at the red eggs! Oh.
Ruben! She got her a present.
MARTHA: I don't know, it does feel nice feeling just vaguely sexual again.
All of a sudden I've just started feeling attracted to everyone.
- Everyone? - Do you not have a type? Oh, God, I do.
Blondes.
(BOTH LAUGH) - I think I prefer brunettes.
- Oh.
Yeah, definitely.
I'm not actually a natural blonde.
What? Really? Yeah.
No, look at my eyebrows.
See.
But I'm feeling vaguely sexual again too actually.
For a while, I felt nothing, but now I'm actually, like, hyper-sexual.
He Ziggy can't keep up.
Just get a good vibrator.
The Tennis Coach is really good.
It's artificial intelligence, it responds to your body.
(LAUGHS) Sorry, I don't know why I laughed.
That sounds amazing.
Ziggy would feel a bit confronted with a sex toy, especially a smart one.
Oh, you don't have to deal with male ego.
Lucky duck.
Oh, two women, bliss! Imagine how tidy their homes are.
- Well, mine's not, exactly.
- Yeah and your children are happier.
I read a study that said that children of lesbians are more well-adjusted.
Really? Yeah.
Ruben? - It's good to know.
- Lucky.
Wow.
- What are you guys talking about? - Lesbians.
Uh, yeah.
Actually, no, it's one of my favourite shows, that old show, The I Word.
- That's a good show.
- Yeah.
That was a good show.
Did he not settle upstairs? No, it's too hot.
It's like There's no air conditioning, it's boiling up there.
- But I changed his nappy.
- Thank you, honey.
Do you realise what you just did? Um, just Why would you thank him? Does he thank you? See that's the patriarchy in all its glory, like right there.
How are we supposed to fight for equality and close the gender pay gap if we don't even insist on an equitable division of labour at home? Everything starts at home.
Excellent point.
Chocolate crackle, anyone? They're sugar-free.
I'm alright with my honey joy.
What did you use in the chocolate crackles? Ah, rice syrup.
- Oh.
- Fantastic alternative.
- You're alright, aren't you, babe? - What about this one? So this is the entertainment for the party? Yeah.
Right.
Rah! (CHILDREN YELL) Ooh, mama.
(MUTTERS) weird.
Hi! Hi.
- Sorry we're late.
We slept till 10.
- Doesn't matter.
- What did you do to your hair? - You don't like it? Everyone else loves it.
Unless they're lying.
- Yes, they're lying.
You look like - Margaret Thatcher.
No, like one of the royals, like Princess Anne.
- God.
- She's the worst royal.
Yeah, it's the powerful volume.
- It's like a helmet.
- Alright, but Ugh, hangover.
Why is everyone so loud? Can you tell those kids to quieten down? No, you can't do that.
That's frowned upon.
- CHILD: I had it! - You can tell those ones.
Give me that egg! Mine! Yep.
And remind me to get condoms on the way home.
Oh, I cannot go straight to honey joys.
What? Corn Flakes, Rice Bubbles, it's essentially breakfast.
- Champers? - Yeah, sure.
What? Nothing.
It's just you're like siblings.
Yeah, siblings who fuck.
How was your reunion sex? Huh? - How was your reunion sex? - Hey? BARB: Get out of it, you two.
Audrey's watching! Um, Stevie's walking, isn't she? - Yeah? - Yeah.
Oh, any day now.
No, she's a bum crawler, love.
She won't be up for months.
Oh, yeah.
That would explain the lack of baby-proofing everywhere.
But that's a relief.
Ziggy Jr took two steps on Tuesday and then has taken nothing since.
I'm gonna ask Ambrose about it next week.
Have you guys booked your one-year check-ins yet? - Uh, no.
- Do we have to go? It's like parole.
I can't wait.
I've filled an entire notebook with questions.
- Would you like a Have a - Oh, thank you.
You're welcome.
OK, you two (PETE AND EMMA MOAN) come here.
Show's over.
Come on.
You've seen enough.
Let's go.
Get the ball.
Find the ball.
(INDISTINCT CHATTER, CHILDREN SHOUT) - GEORGIA: Ooh, savoury, great.
- Yes.
- Thanks.
- Yum.
How good's the food? Georgia? - Are you talking about Adelaide again? - Yeah.
- I was talking about festival time.
- Come on.
RUBEN: It's called Multitasker.
So it's a little bit like Airtasker, but it's like me that does everything.
So taxes, financial plans, IT problems, gutters - Yeah, right.
- flat pack furnishings, you know, garbage removal I like it.
I have some friends who would be into that.
Yes, get in on that market.
A lot of IT work.
Not all lesbians are shit with technology.
- Yeah, just the old ones.
- No, I meant single mothers.
What about you, Audrey? Are you back at work? Just working from home while I'm still here.
I'm writing the weekly council newsletter that you all read and love.
You know, the one you get in your letterbox? With all the useful local information? E-Waste pick-ups and, um library events, parking permit changes, watering restrictions.
Yeah, all the Ruben's started a hire-a-hubby business.
Might be handy while Jeremy's out of town.
It's not hire a hubby, it's Multitasker.
Oh, Mum has a few flat pack shelves I don't want to assemble.
I'll put those shelves together.
- Will you? - Yeah.
Take me 10 minutes.
Easy.
- There you are.
- OK.
Can I have a little bit more of that? - Course you can.
- Thank you.
Oh, that's not French cheese.
- Yeah, 'cause the West Coast - That's alright.
The West Coast is still Yeah, they're still trading - SOPHIE: (SHRIEKS) Don't step down! - What's happened? Oh, my God, Audrey! We need somebody on this ledge.
Ooh, it's very dangerous.
Oh, hello.
- (CRIES) - Are you OK? Audrey? It's so dangerous.
- Shh.
- He nearly kamikazed.
He's fine.
He's been going up and down it all morning.
That was racist.
He's very advanced, isn't he? Must be double-jointed or something.
Audrey, we really do need some sort of safety mat, pillows? Safety mat.
Do we have a safety mat? There's absolutely no baby-proofing in this garden.
No, you just need to teach them spatial awareness.
Look, I could put him on top of a fridge to play and he wouldn't even fall off.
That's weird.
Why would you do that? Baby-proofing's a scam.
Kids have better coordination than most adults.
Ooh! No, it's all good.
I got it.
Whoo! Didn't even spill.
(LAUGHS) Guess I'm driving, then.
SOPHIE: Whee! We got news! (ALL CHEER AND LAUGH) Why are we clapping? Oh, we're we're going again.
BARB: Four months pregnant, suckers! - Massive.
- Wow, that's great news.
- SOPHIE: Thanks, guys.
- ESTER: Just great.
Congrats.
We better get a wriggle on.
That's fantastic! - Thank you, Audrey.
- (LAUGHS) Yeah, we're super excited.
Feeling very blessed.
Or unblessed! So soon? Accident, was it? No, no.
We wanted them close together.
I read a thing that said smaller gaps lead to stronger sibling bonds, so Unless they're you and your sister.
15 months apart.
Barely speak now.
She didn't even send Stevie a present.
Sent an e-card.
(LAUGHS) But you're probably an anomaly.
Hope so.
Did you and your sister take care of each other, like, at school? Oh, my God, Ferociously competitive.
- No, we weren't! I mean - What?! He did art just to beat her.
He hated art.
Hey, at least you get all the shitty part out of the way real quick.
RUBEN: They get to play together.
Hey, show her the bite mark you got from your sister.
- Go on.
- Hey, no.
It's very impressive! No.
No, let's let's raise a toast.
- BARB: You're out of champagne.
- Really? Wow.
Never mind.
Raise whatever's in your glass.
To Sophie, to Ziggy and little Ziggy.
- (ALL CHEERS) - And to Stevie! Why we're all here.
Happy birthday, darling.
- Happy birthday! - Cheers.
SOPHIE: This has been so fun! (INDISTINCT CHATTER) (DOOR OPENS) - Aud? - Hmm? - Oh, where'd you get that? - I found it in the toilet.
- (VERITY LAUGHS) - Any more? - No, there was just the one.
- Oh.
She's still in there.
Oh, the kissing emoji, that's a tell-tale sign.
Tell me, was it kissing? Or? You OK? What? I'm fine.
You sure? - It was pretty big out there.
- What? I'm great.
But really, she's a bit of a show-off.
So's Mr "I only eat cheese in France.
" Fuck off.
She's pregnant, Aud.
She's just sharing her news.
Well, don't.
It's Stevie's day, she could have waited.
And why aren't they leaving? I said 10:00 till 12:00.
They have been here for hours.
Maybe waiting for the cake? Shit, the cake.
Oh, fuck.
Happy birthday, dear Stevie Happy birthday to you.
- Hip-hip - Hooray.
- Hip-hip - Hooray.
- Hip-hip - OK, thanks, Pete.
Smile, darling.
Just a little smile.
Hey, hey.
Oh, yay.
(LAUGHS) It looks like a Yeah, yeah, yeah.
It does.
Like a old white man's.
Aud, how'd you get the flesh colour? Oh, it's preservative-free pink.
Yummy.
Who wants some? PETE: Go, Lorena! Bobbitt.
(LAUGHS) - Lorena Bobbitt.
- NEALE: Oh, yeah.
(LAUGHS) Can I have the tip? - (ALL LAUGH) - OK, um He went into pornography afterwards.
Everyone line up, I'll get some paper plates.
- BARB: Oh, that's right.
- We saw it.
AUDREY: So she said I'm pregnant.
JEREMY: We knew that, Aud.
Maybe it's good to do all the baby thing, get it all over with, before we get used to sleeping again? No, not good for my uterus.
What did the doctor say? That you should've waited at least one year, preferably two, before getting me pregnant.
Apparently she told us that.
Why? What's the reason? I wrote it down in the thingy.
God, my writing is just a scrawl.
Virtually illegible.
Look at that.
- "Ute" Oh "Uterus scar".
- "Uterus".
"Uterus scar, thin.
"Vertical incision.
- "T up weaker.
" - That's not making sense.
- That's my scar thing.
- Right.
"Risk.
"Rupture.
"Tri Tri Oh, "Third trimester.
Split.
"He - "Hoover? - Is it haemorrhage? Oh, yes.
I really can't spell.
"120 over 80.
" Oh, that's my, blood pressure, which is very good.
What does that mean, split? I mean, are you? Yeah, my uterus - scar could split.
- And what happens then? Does that say 'fatal'? - Holy shit, Aud.
- No, I think that's foetal.
Foetal or fatal? Oh, no, that's that's fatal.
But I'm not I'm not gonna die.
I mean I could, but how many people die in childbirth these days? You nearly did last time.
OK, she said that's all worst-case scenario.
There is still a possibility that we could avoid all of that and have another healthy baby.
Of course, I will support you, Aud, with whatever you want.
Whatever you want.
But I don't want you to die.
Obviously.
Jesus, is it the 18th century? Fuck these shelves! Have you seen a packet of eight screws? They're about this big.
Sor sorry.
Uh, no, I haven't seen any screws.
Hey, did you get some good photos today? Yeah.
Oh, got a nice one of you two.
I'll just have to crop out the penis.
And your hair's in shadow so there you go.

AUDREY: I kept arguing for a natural birth because I'd read all this stuff and and, uh, we nearly lost her, so You're not number one anymore.
- You buying? - Drugs? No.
I've just got her to sleep.
She's a really light sleeper - Not my problem.
- Uh, what's your cheapest drug? There's no point whingeing - about what you've lost - (STEVIE CRIES) I don't really feel like me.
I don't know, you want me to be some kind of on-call second mother thing.
Yeah, 'grandmother' is the word you're looking for.
This is my home.
Just like the one you live in.
Don't you forget that.
Let's look instead at what you've gained.
Our new mum brains are just getting rid of shit that they don't need so before they start expanding with all the new learning and multi-tasking.
This is motherhood.
I'm, like, seriously bad at this.
You're all in this together.
- Audrey, is it? - Mm.
You're late.
Oh, my God.
- Whoo! - (CHEERING) Yeah! All the stars above bars We're human, yeah, you and I Mother! Sucker! Mother! Sucker! - I've been offered a new job.

The job's actually in Adelaide.
We go to Adela (SIGHS) Good news about the minus sign, right? No, it's It's a cross for no baby.
- No, that's not a cross - Yes, it is.
- That's a plus sign.
- That's a cro No.
Oh, God! We'll have two under two in Adelaide! (HAPPY BIRTHDAY PLAYS) AUDREY: God, she couldn't have just put something in the post? JEREMY: Yeah, we never send them stuff.
(LAUGHS) Uh, no, you don't.
I do.
I probably spent more on their first birthdays than I have on Stevie's.
(PARTY HORN BLOWS) Dreadful.
What do you want to watch? Um, Crown? (LAUGHS) You do realise they've changed Princess Margarets? Oh.
Who is it now? Helena Bonham-Carter.
Still got good production Do you want to just watch the end of Glow? Thought so.
OK.
- Yep.
Alright, ready? - Mm-hm.
One, two, three, play.
Wait, wait, wait, it's still connecting.
Wifi is shit in Adelaide.
Just tether.
Tethering.
Hold on.
Anything can happen when you're just like me I'm running carelessly through a maze How unexpected I'm under lock and key in a world OK, and this goes on Anything can happen Oh, that goes on there, then.
Does it? I'm running carelessly through a maze What? Oh Well, how does that? I'm under lock and key How do I plug? Eh? (SIGHS) (DOOR OPENS AND CLOSES) MAN: (ON COMPUTER) My name's Matt and I'm gonna show you how to brew a perfect coffee using VERITY: Hello, Stevie, darling.
- Ooh, good night? - First, take the - No - give it a clean - Oh, thanks, Mum.
- attach the funnel to the end You need an engineering degree to work this thing out, which Jeremy has, but he's not here, is he? Audrey, when are you joining him? Because I want to finish the painting before I move back in and, uh, did you see the job they did in my office? Yeah, looks amazing.
But can we just let him get through probation? Which he may not.
He's not instantly likeable.
Have a sip.
He is likeable, isn't he? - Very.
- Yeah.
Oh, do these look handmade? - As if I could have made them? - I guess so.
Why? What on earth Well, they'll hang off a stick or a branch or something.
And these are plastic, but do you reckon they pass for bamboo? No.
Maybe I shouldn't use plastic at all.
Everyone's so anti.
I mean, I am too.
Sophie had real cutlery at hers.
At the park.
Audrey, darling, what's happened to you? When you turned one, all we did was wrap up a present you already owned.
I mean, they don't know what's going on at this age.
But they see the photos when they're older.
Or note the absence of them.
Sophie had a unicorn at hers.
I mean, it was a pony with a horn, but it was very believable.
Sounds like Sophie wasn't loved enough as a child.
You still OK to look after Stevie this afternoon? - What? - I'm getting my hair done, remember? Sophie had a full makeover for hers.
Yeah, g-good idea, yes, good.
Lovely surprise for Jeremy.
OK.
What are we going to do with this? Just a trim, thanks.
And a blow dry.
Out tonight? Big weekend? Uh, I've got a party tomorrow.
So actually a bit of volume would be good, it gets quite flat on top.
Mm.
You got it, babe.
OK, so with the trim, the styling and the conditioning treatment, that comes to $280.
Does it? OK, great, yeah.
No problem.
Thank you.
- Do you love it? It looks amazing.
- Yeah.
Yeah, it's brilliant.
Thank you so much.
Gosh You look 10 years older.
Thank you.
I think I preferred it before.
Well, obviously.
Why didn't you say something? I did! When she asked if I liked it, I did a high-pitched yes.
Everyone knows that's code for no.
No, don't touch it! There's no movement! Yeah, right.
Very firm.
Stay away from the candles tomorrow.
That could go up.
Evening, folks.
It's your captain here.
Flying time to Sydney this evening will be just under two hours.
- Oh.
- (LAUGHS) (YELLS) Oh, wow.
Um, would you like that back? There you go, mate.
- Sorry, is she OK? - Yeah, yeah, yeah.
She's a beauty.
Yeah, I'm flying back for my little one's first birthday.

Is he hungry? Say thank you.
Thank you, friend.
Thank you.
Wake up! Oh, don't do that, Luna! Alright? OK, can you not talk to my child like that? (CRIES) (DOOR CLOSES) Oh, finally.
You'll have to get ice in the morning now before you borrow Matt's mower and do the yard.
Hello to you too.
How you doing? You OK? Not too tired? Huh? Oh, sorry.
I'm fine.
Hi.
Yeah, I'm just flat out.

Sorry.
We missed you.

We love you.
Blah, blah.
How was the flight? You eaten? Yeah.
I ate in the lounge.
- Oh, lucky you.
I had cake batter.
- Yum! Looks incredible, Aud.
How many are coming? I don't know.
No-one RSVPs these days.
It's an outrage.
Right, well, I'm gonna go and kiss our one-year-old.
Shit! - Don't wake her.
- I won't.
I'll just look at her - and then I'm all yours.
- OK.
Chocolate crackles.
- Blast from the past.
- (LAUGHS) Can one-year-olds eat chocolate crackles? Well, they're for the big kids and the adults.
It's fun.
- What's wrong? They're sugar free.
- Yes.
- I used rice syrup instead.
- Is rice a sweetener? - Shit.
Are they alright? - Yeah, no, they're yummy.
Did you use rice in all of the things? OK, no, good.
Well, that's healthy.
And you get a-a real kick with the cocoa.
It's, um It's like an after taste.
Might just I like your hair.
- (PHONE RINGS) (WHISPERS) - Shit.
- (STEVIE MURMURS) - Fuck.
Sorry, baby.
Sorry.
- (INCOMING MESSAGE DING) - Oh! (CRIES) How's this? This OK? More, you need heaps more.
But you've got to mix it through thoroughly Just leave it.
I'll do it.
Shall we just finish this in the morning? It's one o'clock.
I can't! I've got to create this! Why don't we just ice it and cover it in Smarties? Smarties? No.
Barb did that.
That's not creative.
(CRIES) - Oh.
I'll go.
- Oh, jeez.
- Bottle? - No, just put her in with you.
We co-sleeping again? - After all the - No.
But it's morning.
You wanna spend the next few hours cot training? Fuck, no! - Unless you want me to? - Just go.
It's gonna be incredible, Aud.
Thank you.
And here is one more.
What's this? It's a picture book of Adelaide for when you guys finally join me.
Oh, wow! Look at that! You and Mummy are gonna love it there.
So many churches! No wonder Daddy likes it.
It's not just churches, there's the Adelaide Oval, Rundle Mall, Central Market, State Library, Mount Lofty.
Oh, thanks, Daddy! (CHUCKLES) Now go and get the ice.
We've got to move.
We've got so much to do.
The events guys are gonna be here soon.
- Huh? - I had to hire matching chairs! Quick! OK, so, um, Sophie and Ziggy have Ziggy.
Mm.
Barb and Neale have Kate, and the twins Can't remember their names.
Ah, Martha has Teddy.
And she's a lesbian.
Funny how you remember that.
- Ester and Ruben have Eva - Oh, hang on, are they coming? I couldn't very well not invite them, could I? Oh, really? I couldn't.
Now, go upstairs and finish the toilet and light the scented candle.
- And what is she wearing? - Uh, Mum bought it.
She can't wear that.
She looks like a Kardashian.
Put her in her new overalls and take off the fleece.
- Yeah, good.
- Oh, and Jeremy.
- Yep? - Make sure I'm in the shower at least 10 minutes before people are due.
I need to wash this out.
Copy that.
BARB: Stop it! Get away from! - Hello! - Oh, hi.
10am.
Wow! Why would you make it at 10:00? No-one does anything before 10:00.
Oh, sorry.
Did you, um, get your hair done? Oh, yes, a blow wave, tres chic.
(MOUTHS) - Oh, there you are.
- Oh, Barb, I said no presents.
It's alright.
Just don't put batteries in it.
Thanks for inviting us.
The more kids you have, the less invites you get.
It's a little linen dress.
Sorry, couldn't help myself.
Oh, wow.
Is there somewhere we could just set this up? Sorry, 10am is Ziggy Jr's nap time.
Right? It's everyone's nap time.
- Is that alright? - Don't worry about it.
Rookie error.
Jeremy will take you in.
- OK, great.

I'll - Great spread.
- Oh, thanks.
I'm a bit of a foodie.
You guys watch MasterChef? - Mm-hm.
- No, don't.
You want some brie? - Oh, that's d'Affinois.
- You want d'Affinois? There are some chocolate crackles here, kids.
- (POP!) - Grab one of them.
Happy birthday.
(SPLUTTERS) What's wrong? - Yuck.
- What's wrong with it? Oh, everything's sugar free, except the lollies on the cake.
So they're good for them.
Oh, yeah, no, our kids don't eat anything without sugar.
Ziggy Jr is asleep.
Oh, great.
Oh, no thank you.
And he's watching his cholesterol.
Yeah, I only eat cheese in France.
Oh, it is French.
It's d'Affinois.
No, French cheese is non-pasteurised, that's what gives it that kind of that kick.
- My ex-wife was French - He's crying.
Ziggy's crying.
Shit.
Well, these decorations are gorgeous! - Oh.
- (LAUGHS) Did you do them yourself? - Mm-hm.
- I can tell.
Thank you.

- Just take that.
Thank you.
(DOORBELL RINGS) - Hi.
- Oh, happy birthday, darling.
Got a kiss for Bella Nonna? Hey, wow! New haircut? Yep.
(LAUGHS) Oh, that's divine.
I know, I'd wear it.
The invitation said no presents.
Happy birthday, Stevie Nicks, you don't look a day over 11 months.
- So what'd you get her? - Darling, it said "No presents.
" (CRIES) Not from you! And I didn't mean it.
I was just trying to seem non-materialistic and cool.
Look what Carol got her.
Plus a lovely outfit.
If you're trying to set up some sort of rivalry between us, it won't work.
Are they here, are they? No, I told you - they've both just had their cataracts done.
They're completely blind right now.
Evidently.
Gosh, this has held.
Don't touch it.
It'll hold till her 21st at this rate.
- (PHONE RINGS) - Oh, I have to take this.
Courtney's having an emotional affair.
OK, great.
Well, we're outside.
(GRIZZLES) Yeah, your grandma got you nothing.
I would be upset too.
Hey.
Hi, Ester.
Hi.
- Ruben.
- Hey, mate.
And Ova? - Eva.
- Eva.
Knew it was a vowel.
- Yep.
- (CHUCKLES) Oh.
Oh (CLEARS THROAT) Thanks for the invite.
Appreciate it.
Oh, mate, it's water under the bridge.
Yeah.
So how's the City of Churches? Enjoying the commute? - Pros and cons.
- Quite a few pros.
Uninterrupted sleep, serviced apartment, business lounge.
- What's not to love? - Adelaide.
(CHUCKLES) I can say that, I was born there.
So - I mean, I left when I was four.
- Yeah? Been there recently? It's actually like a more intimate Sydney these days.
Is it? DAVE: Hello? - Hi.
- Dave, hi.
(LAUGHS) Great.
Uh, where's Martha? - Oh, she not here yet? - No.
Oh, I was just dropping Teddy off.
Hi, everyone.
Well, you should stay, definitely stay.
I told her to invite you.
- (LAUGHS) Yeah.
- Happy birthday, Stevie.
Happy birthday.
We've just been to swimming lessons.
God, I've got to enrol her.
I keep forgetting they can't swim.
Do you always go with him? Yeah, Martha doesn't like getting her hair wet.
You know, all the chlorine and she's got so much hair, it just takes so long to dry.
But, hey, um, your hair's looking good.
Thank you.
Yeah, come on in.
JEREMY: Uh-uh-uh, plenty of Honey Joys and things.
Come on, rack off.
(INDISTINCT CHATTER) - Hey, George.
- That's for you.
Eggs.
Look at the red eggs! Oh.
Ruben! She got her a present.
MARTHA: I don't know, it does feel nice feeling just vaguely sexual again.
All of a sudden I've just started feeling attracted to everyone.
- Everyone? - Do you not have a type? Oh, God, I do.
Blondes.
(BOTH LAUGH) - I think I prefer brunettes.
- Oh.
Yeah, definitely.
I'm not actually a natural blonde.
What? Really? Yeah.
No, look at my eyebrows.
See.
But I'm feeling vaguely sexual again too actually.
For a while, I felt nothing, but now I'm actually, like, hyper-sexual.
He Ziggy can't keep up.
Just get a good vibrator.
The Tennis Coach is really good.
It's artificial intelligence, it responds to your body.
(LAUGHS) Sorry, I don't know why I laughed.
That sounds amazing.
Ziggy would feel a bit confronted with a sex toy, especially a smart one.
Oh, you don't have to deal with male ego.
Lucky duck.
Oh, two women, bliss! Imagine how tidy their homes are.
- Well, mine's not, exactly.
- Yeah and your children are happier.
I read a study that said that children of lesbians are more well-adjusted.
Really? Yeah.
Ruben? - It's good to know.
- Lucky.
Wow.
- What are you guys talking about? - Lesbians.
Uh, yeah.
Actually, no, it's one of my favourite shows, that old show, The I Word.
- That's a good show.
- Yeah.
That was a good show.
Did he not settle upstairs? No, it's too hot.
It's like There's no air conditioning, it's boiling up there.
- But I changed his nappy.
- Thank you, honey.
Do you realise what you just did? Um, just Why would you thank him? Does he thank you? See that's the patriarchy in all its glory, like right there.
How are we supposed to fight for equality and close the gender pay gap if we don't even insist on an equitable division of labour at home? Everything starts at home.
Excellent point.
Chocolate crackle, anyone? They're sugar-free.
I'm alright with my honey joy.
What did you use in the chocolate crackles? Ah, rice syrup.
- Oh.
- Fantastic alternative.
- You're alright, aren't you, babe? - What about this one? So this is the entertainment for the party? Yeah.
Right.
Rah! (CHILDREN YELL) Ooh, mama.
(MUTTERS) weird.
Hi! Hi.
- Sorry we're late.
We slept till 10.
- Doesn't matter.
- What did you do to your hair? - You don't like it? Everyone else loves it.
Unless they're lying.
- Yes, they're lying.
You look like - Margaret Thatcher.
No, like one of the royals, like Princess Anne.
- God.
- She's the worst royal.
Yeah, it's the powerful volume.
- It's like a helmet.
- Alright, but Ugh, hangover.
Why is everyone so loud? Can you tell those kids to quieten down? No, you can't do that.
That's frowned upon.
- CHILD: I had it! - You can tell those ones.
Give me that egg! Mine! Yep.
And remind me to get condoms on the way home.
Oh, I cannot go straight to honey joys.
What? Corn Flakes, Rice Bubbles, it's essentially breakfast.
- Champers? - Yeah, sure.
What? Nothing.
It's just you're like siblings.
Yeah, siblings who fuck.
How was your reunion sex? Huh? - How was your reunion sex? - Hey? BARB: Get out of it, you two.
Audrey's watching! Um, Stevie's walking, isn't she? - Yeah? - Yeah.
Oh, any day now.
No, she's a bum crawler, love.
She won't be up for months.
Oh, yeah.
That would explain the lack of baby-proofing everywhere.
But that's a relief.
Ziggy Jr took two steps on Tuesday and then has taken nothing since.
I'm gonna ask Ambrose about it next week.
Have you guys booked your one-year check-ins yet? - Uh, no.
- Do we have to go? It's like parole.
I can't wait.
I've filled an entire notebook with questions.
- Would you like a Have a - Oh, thank you.
You're welcome.
OK, you two (PETE AND EMMA MOAN) come here.
Show's over.
Come on.
You've seen enough.
Let's go.
Get the ball.
Find the ball.
(INDISTINCT CHATTER, CHILDREN SHOUT) - GEORGIA: Ooh, savoury, great.
- Yes.
- Thanks.
- Yum.
How good's the food? Georgia? - Are you talking about Adelaide again? - Yeah.
- I was talking about festival time.
- Come on.
RUBEN: It's called Multitasker.
So it's a little bit like Airtasker, but it's like me that does everything.
So taxes, financial plans, IT problems, gutters - Yeah, right.
- flat pack furnishings, you know, garbage removal I like it.
I have some friends who would be into that.
Yes, get in on that market.
A lot of IT work.
Not all lesbians are shit with technology.
- Yeah, just the old ones.
- No, I meant single mothers.
What about you, Audrey? Are you back at work? Just working from home while I'm still here.
I'm writing the weekly council newsletter that you all read and love.
You know, the one you get in your letterbox? With all the useful local information? E-Waste pick-ups and, um library events, parking permit changes, watering restrictions.
Yeah, all the Ruben's started a hire-a-hubby business.
Might be handy while Jeremy's out of town.
It's not hire a hubby, it's Multitasker.
Oh, Mum has a few flat pack shelves I don't want to assemble.
I'll put those shelves together.
- Will you? - Yeah.
Take me 10 minutes.
Easy.
- There you are.
- OK.
Can I have a little bit more of that? - Course you can.
- Thank you.
Oh, that's not French cheese.
- Yeah, 'cause the West Coast - That's alright.
The West Coast is still Yeah, they're still trading - SOPHIE: (SHRIEKS) Don't step down! - What's happened? Oh, my God, Audrey! We need somebody on this ledge.
Ooh, it's very dangerous.
Oh, hello.
- (CRIES) - Are you OK? Audrey? It's so dangerous.
- Shh.
- He nearly kamikazed.
He's fine.
He's been going up and down it all morning.
That was racist.
He's very advanced, isn't he? Must be double-jointed or something.
Audrey, we really do need some sort of safety mat, pillows? Safety mat.
Do we have a safety mat? There's absolutely no baby-proofing in this garden.
No, you just need to teach them spatial awareness.
Look, I could put him on top of a fridge to play and he wouldn't even fall off.
That's weird.
Why would you do that? Baby-proofing's a scam.
Kids have better coordination than most adults.
Ooh! No, it's all good.
I got it.
Whoo! Didn't even spill.
(LAUGHS) Guess I'm driving, then.
SOPHIE: Whee! We got news! (ALL CHEER AND LAUGH) Why are we clapping? Oh, we're we're going again.
BARB: Four months pregnant, suckers! - Massive.
- Wow, that's great news.
- SOPHIE: Thanks, guys.
- ESTER: Just great.
Congrats.
We better get a wriggle on.
That's fantastic! - Thank you, Audrey.
- (LAUGHS) Yeah, we're super excited.
Feeling very blessed.
Or unblessed! So soon? Accident, was it? No, no.
We wanted them close together.
I read a thing that said smaller gaps lead to stronger sibling bonds, so Unless they're you and your sister.
15 months apart.
Barely speak now.
She didn't even send Stevie a present.
Sent an e-card.
(LAUGHS) But you're probably an anomaly.
Hope so.
Did you and your sister take care of each other, like, at school? Oh, my God, Ferociously competitive.
- No, we weren't! I mean - What?! He did art just to beat her.
He hated art.
Hey, at least you get all the shitty part out of the way real quick.
RUBEN: They get to play together.
Hey, show her the bite mark you got from your sister.
- Go on.
- Hey, no.
It's very impressive! No.
No, let's let's raise a toast.
- BARB: You're out of champagne.
- Really? Wow.
Never mind.
Raise whatever's in your glass.
To Sophie, to Ziggy and little Ziggy.
- (ALL CHEERS) - And to Stevie! Why we're all here.
Happy birthday, darling.
- Happy birthday! - Cheers.
SOPHIE: This has been so fun! (INDISTINCT CHATTER) (DOOR OPENS) - Aud? - Hmm? - Oh, where'd you get that? - I found it in the toilet.
- (VERITY LAUGHS) - Any more? - No, there was just the one.
- Oh.
She's still in there.
Oh, the kissing emoji, that's a tell-tale sign.
Tell me, was it kissing? Or? You OK? What? I'm fine.
You sure? - It was pretty big out there.
- What? I'm great.
But really, she's a bit of a show-off.
So's Mr "I only eat cheese in France.
" Fuck off.
She's pregnant, Aud.
She's just sharing her news.
Well, don't.
It's Stevie's day, she could have waited.
And why aren't they leaving? I said 10:00 till 12:00.
They have been here for hours.
Maybe waiting for the cake? Shit, the cake.
Oh, fuck.
Happy birthday, dear Stevie Happy birthday to you.
- Hip-hip - Hooray.
- Hip-hip - Hooray.
- Hip-hip - OK, thanks, Pete.
Smile, darling.
Just a little smile.
Hey, hey.
Oh, yay.
(LAUGHS) It looks like a Yeah, yeah, yeah.
It does.
Like a old white man's.
Aud, how'd you get the flesh colour? Oh, it's preservative-free pink.
Yummy.
Who wants some? PETE: Go, Lorena! Bobbitt.
(LAUGHS) - Lorena Bobbitt.
- NEALE: Oh, yeah.
(LAUGHS) Can I have the tip? - (ALL LAUGH) - OK, um He went into pornography afterwards.
Everyone line up, I'll get some paper plates.
- BARB: Oh, that's right.
- We saw it.
AUDREY: So she said I'm pregnant.
JEREMY: We knew that, Aud.
Maybe it's good to do all the baby thing, get it all over with, before we get used to sleeping again? No, not good for my uterus.
What did the doctor say? That you should've waited at least one year, preferably two, before getting me pregnant.
Apparently she told us that.
Why? What's the reason? I wrote it down in the thingy.
God, my writing is just a scrawl.
Virtually illegible.
Look at that.
- "Ute" Oh "Uterus scar".
- "Uterus".
"Uterus scar, thin.
"Vertical incision.
- "T up weaker.
" - That's not making sense.
- That's my scar thing.
- Right.
"Risk.
"Rupture.
"Tri Tri Oh, "Third trimester.
Split.
"He - "Hoover? - Is it haemorrhage? Oh, yes.
I really can't spell.
