Tangle (2009) s02e02 Episode Script
The Day After
Until you decide, I might live with Gabriel.
Why don't we all live in the same city? Because you wouldn't pay my tax bill.
You are fucking cheeky.
I know how much he loved you.
I miss him so much already.
(SOBS) I found this note my dad wrote three days ago.
It's like if I hold this, he's still alive.
You 're very polished, very professional.
But unfortunately, for this weathergirl, we are actually looking for a weatherGIRL, not a weather middle-aged woman.
ALLY: So you 're on a show? What is it? You know 'So You Think You 're So Gifted'? You 're on that? No.
Well, it's a download to phones.
Phones? Mmm, people watch it on their phones.
Why would they do that? That has to be (LAUGHS) the skeleton puppet to beat all skeleton puppets! Gabriel! I know you feel bad about what happened between you and Vince.
You don't know how I feel.
(OPENS DOOR) Ally, Ally, Ally! Oh, Jesus.
(CRUNCH!) Please tell me that's not my rabbit.
Tangle (AU) S02E02 - The Day After (DOOR OPENS) Hey.
Why did Joe go? I don't know.
He freaks me out.
He just watches people.
So do you.
I'm not weird about it, though.
I buried my rabbit.
Can you come with me and say some prayers over him? Maybe later.
Get in.
Got my shoes on.
I don't care.
Everyone out there? The bed.
I know.
(INHALES DEEPLY AND SIGHS) Are you OK? I'm gonna go to school.
You don't have to.
I know.
I'm like a celebrity, though.
They all feel sorry for me.
It's quite nice.
OK.
Sorry about your rabbit.
Don't tell them I'm awake.
(ALARM BEEPS) Ugh! Jesus, Christine.
Prick.
(BEEPING INTENSIFIES) (DOOR OPENS) OK, let's go! Come on, we'll be late.
MAX: What? You can't expect me to go to school today! And yet I do.
How about that? (LAUGHS) Mum! Just get dressed, Max.
Yesterday was kind of huge.
I got home at 1:00 in the morning.
Don't we all just need to chill out? No, we need to get on with our lives.
Mum, I just think that You just think what? Ugh, I'll get dressed! (PANTS AND GROANS) Now, work.
Yeah.
Me too.
Shit! Did we do that? Yep! We're like rabbits on speed.
It's disgusting.
Can you be a love and clean it up? I've gotta be there in time.
(GROANS) Did I tell you about Selma McTeer? Porno of her in the stairwell with two security guys.
Don't you see what this means? Apparently not.
Well, she's gone.
She's finished.
She's off the show.
And waiting in the wings is me.
Right.
Whereas I just have to go heal the sick.
That job belongs to me.
'Bye! (DOOR OPENS AND CLOSES) (DOOR CLOSES) (PANTS) I loathe you.
You should come! Sweat out the toxins, of which you have so many.
No, I'll be fine with my (HUE Y VOMITS) (SPITS AND GROANS) Better? Much.
ROMEO: That's wrong, man.
Romeo! Want some eggs, mate? Nup.
Your old man loved my scrambled eggs.
In fact, I reckon he was kind of obsessed by them.
I'd never teach him the secrets, though.
(STOMACH GURGLES) So, um I bet you 're a tiger with the ladies.
Good one, Huey.
ROMEO: You don't have to go to school, Gige.
GIGl: I wish everybody would stop saying that.
Oh, hi, Gigi.
Are you going to school? I don't think you have to, honey.
Is your mum up? Did you get some lunch? I buried my rabbit.
I'm sorry.
Hello? Hello? (DOORBELL RINGS) (DOOR OPENS) WOMAN: Hi.
I just wanted to drop some casseroles off for Ally, just to ELLE: Yeah! No, thanks.
Another one? Tuna and corn.
ELLE: A disgusting combination.
Must you say things like that? I'm fragile.
Well, maybe we should just taste them all.
Prioritise that way, and then just start rejecting people at the door.
I ain't tasting anything.
ELLE: You know what we need? Bloody Marys.
Genius.
Aren't I just? Do you think we should check on Ally? No, she'll be right.
Just leave her.
She knows we're here.
Last night was big.
How was when she pashed your husband? Phwoar! (LAUGHS) Yeah, well, grief unhinges people.
WOMAN: You OK? (SIGHS) Yeah, just (CLEARS THROAT) hungover.
What's up? Arse abscess.
Cubicle 3.
Great.
Look, you 're gonna have to unclench.
Nup.
You can't sit down - you 're in agony.
This will just pop the abscess.
Then we can drain it and see if you need surgery.
Jesus.
It'll be better in the long run, believe me.
Need you in 2.
Car accident.
30-year-old woman, pedestrian.
She's dead.
She was bleeding internally, and Well, basically dead on arrival.
Um Doctor? Yes? Are you gonna call it? Uh, let me see your watch.
8:33.
OK.
(CLEARS THROAT) Oh, how was the funeral? I think I did something stupid, but I don't remember what.
Does your wife remember what you did? She gives me that impression.
You 're in the doghouse? I'm in the dogbowl.
Hmm.
(CLEARS THROAT) Look, Tim, I don't wanna be a prick, but as your new advisor, I gotta tell you you need to finish this thing with Nicky Barnham and Vince Kovac's wife, yeah? I know.
Oh, I kissed Ally! Shit! And who's Ally? Vince's wife.
As in the (LAUGHS) As in the widow? Yeah.
(LAUGHS) I guess so.
(GROANS) Oh, Tim! (LAUGHS) (SOFTLY) Ally? (KNOCK AT DOOR) Ally, are you awake? I don't think we should wake her up.
Well, we need to check if she's OK.
Ally? That woman's family are here.
OK.
(SIGHS) (REFLECTIVE MUSIC) (SIGHS) So, um, Elle, are you, um Are you in a relationship? Yeah - seven years.
Oh, wow.
Wow indeed! And it's, um It's good? You 're happy? Yeah.
I mean, she's a tricky person.
She's slightly depressive.
Oh.
So, yeah.
But I've given so much to it.
I do love her, so Doesn't matter what it is, does it? You always feel a little, um Trapped.
(LAUGHS) Yep.
Yep.
(LAUGHS) Yeah.
Yeah, I love her.
It's just This is gonna sound screwed up, but yesterday at the funeral, I thought, "God, I wish I was Ally.
" Really? Freedom and sympathy and a free pass to do whatever the hell you want and no-one can judge you.
Yeah.
Yeah, I guess so.
(LAUGHS) I mean, she should be coming to our houses, cooking for us! Yeah! (LAUGHS FORCEDLY) (SIGHS DEEPLY) (PHONE RINGS) (WHISPERS) Shit.
Hi, Ally.
What are you doing? Working.
You OK? I'm in a taxi.
Yeah? Where to? I don't know.
I feel like going to the movies.
Do you wanna come to the movies? Yeah, I don't think so.
Where are you? Working.
Not what I mean.
I mean, where are you? I keep looking around for you and you 're not there.
Ally, I can't talk.
You don't have to.
It's a movie.
(LINE DEAD TONE) (LAUGHS) The ball, Huey! Uh, guys, Ally's gone.
What? Gone? How? Uh, look, we've just gotta find her.
I rang her mobile.
She's not answering.
(DOORBELL RINGS) Maybe that's her.
She's not gonna ring her own bell, Huey.
Excellent point.
Hi.
Hi.
Uh everything OK? Well, we don't know where Ally is, so if you 've come around to pash her again I remembered.
I'm sorry.
(SIGHS) Sorry, sorry, sorry.
Blah, blah, blah.
Christine Oh, piss off, Tim.
You shit me right now.
Let's just talk about it.
I don't wanna talk about it.
I will, like I always do, and we'll make our peace, like we always do, but right now, I just wanna hate you for a few hours.
Do you wanna know why? Why? 'Cause you deserve it.
OK.
Just hold the cards.
And let your vibrations I don't really wanna know my future.
Oh.
What do you want? Do you know about dead people? Crossing over, like that show on TV? Mmm.
You want to contact somebody? I don't know.
Can you do that if I do want it? No.
Unfortunately, I don't have that gift.
You just do the future.
I guess.
Did someone die recently? My dad.
A few days ago.
Ohh.
You poor thing.
He got hit by a car.
So it was kind of sudden.
And I was watching this movie once which said when people die suddenly, their souls don't go to heaven straightaway.
Is that true? I do know this - that when someone dies, they're often around for a time.
You know, a sense of their presence, or signs.
Signs? Mmm.
Like what? Every day, I go walking at St Kilda Beach.
When my sister died, a seagull would follow me, for months.
And then I realised it was her.
Did you try and catch it? No, no.
She just wanted to help me through it.
Right.
You 'll be OK, I can tell you that.
You are a strong person who takes good care of herself.
Would you have known if I'd seen you last week? Would you have known my dad was about to die? MAN: Snowy, I just don't feel that funny anymore.
MAN 2: You are, AJ.
You are.
You got (MOVIE DIALOGUE FADES) You didn't tell the others? No, no.
It's just you and me.
And Adam Sandler.
We're just going through a rough patch, I guess.
What's wrong? Honestly? Oh, well, she's a nagging bitch.
(LAUGHS) But I'm no picnic either.
I drink too much, spend too much, fart too much.
Gross.
Sex - um, how do I put this? We don't have sex, no.
And it's screwing me up.
So I've started watching porn, yeah.
Obsessively watching porn.
Is it weird I'm telling you that? No.
No.
There's nothing normal about today, so go right ahead.
Well, um, at first it was kind of normal porn.
But that gets kinda boring, so you move onto the harder stuff to get off, and then weirder.
Um, then that does nothing for me, so, yeah, then worse.
Worse? What's worse? Do I wanna know? OK.
Um Last month, I was in Birmingham on business.
And I'm kind of watching myself from the outside.
And I'm on the phone, and I'm about to hire a transvestite hooker.
And I start to think, " Huey what has happened to you?" But isn't a transvestite a man? Exactly.
Yeah.
Oh, I didn't know you No, no, no.
No, I never have.
Nup.
Have you talked to her? Yeah, but she's, like, "Sex - big deal," you know? But it is a big deal.
You want your wife to want you.
I guess so.
You know, and then I don't wanna be the guy who sleeps with hookers, who cheats on his wife, but I feel it's becoming inevitable.
And then suddenly I'm the bad guy who Lucinda castrates forever or divorces, tells the girls and then I'm the arsehole.
You 're not an arsehole, Huey, otherwise you wouldn't feel so bad about it.
(LOUDLY) I just wanna have sex! MAN: Good luck, mate.
Now that you 've told everyone here, you might be in with a chance.
What about you? Are you OK? Dazed and numb.
I can smell him.
His smell is in my nostrils.
You wanna go home? Not yet.
WOMAN: Hi, I'm Gaia Andrews, and welcome to 'So You Think You 're So Gifted'.
WOMAN: OK, that was great.
I just want you to try it again and just imagine that you 're full of bubbles, OK? You could float.
Yep, OK.
I totally know what you mean.
Melanie, can I see you? You 're Nat! Oh, my God, I love you! Yeah, I love you too.
Just make sure you 're full of bubbles and float away.
What's going on? Ah, looks like auditions.
Yeah, we all know who the obvious choice is, though.
Darren said as much.
Yeah, I know.
I just thought it'd be good if we had some options.
I mean, we know that you 're great on the phones, Nat, it's just on the bigger screens It's just your age.
It really pops.
What's YOUR problem with me? I don't like you.
What? I don't want you to get the job, OK? And fortunately for me, the men I need to convince are men, so if I can find some bubbly girl with good tits and no crows feet, then you 're toast.
(LAUGHS) Oh, honey, you shouldn't take me on.
No, you 'll lose.
You 'll be googling 'Centrelink' by Friday.
If you 'll excuse us, Nat, we've got testing to do.
Hey, be my guest.
(LAUGHS) Ah! Poise.
You need poise in this business.
WAS in love with his wife.
Might still be in love with his wife.
Whose sister I'm screwing.
I mean, I still can't believe he's dead.
You know, I don't know whether to feel guilty or angry or sad or not give a fuck.
You know, part of me doesn't even give a fuck.
It sounds like you give a fuck.
You allowed to swear? I don't know.
It happens.
If you 're unhappy with your situation, then change it.
As for Vince, well It's just gonna hurt for a long time.
You loved him.
He was a prick.
Yes, he was.
But you still did.
(SIGHS) You OK? I'm OK.
It's my special risotto! And mine.
And chief parmigiano grater, Gigi, and mine.
GABRIEL: Where'd you learn it? No doubt the feisty licker otherwise known as Lucia? What's a licker? (GABRIEL LAUGHS) It's someone who tests the risotto with their Finger.
Finger.
Yes.
Just like that.
(LAUGHS) GIGl: Mum! ELLE: Where've you been? I went to the movies.
HUE Y: Found her.
That smells amazing.
Are you OK? Yeah, I just needed some clear air.
ALLY: Hey, you.
Hey.
Listen, Ally, um Do you think you can find Vince's will? The sooner you start probate, the better.
Yeah, it's probably in his office somewhere.
Does it have to be tonight? Well, we'll just find it tonight.
We don't have to do anything.
No big decisions.
OK? OK.
I never come in here.
Messy, wasn't he? Got it.
Great.
That should make things lots easier.
Oh, shit, he hasn't signed it.
Gabriel It's probably just a fuse.
I'll have a look.
Dad, I know it was you! All your friends are here.
They're really nice.
Christine killed my rabbit.
Stupid cow.
I went to the city and had a hot chocolate in the arcade like we always do.
And the spotty waitress was really nice.
So he had agreed to sell them his share of the company for $350,000.
Right.
Well, Vince never really talked to me about business.
I don't really know anything about that part of his life.
And that was most of his life.
That's weird, I think.
If you just sign the contract, I'll give you a cheque.
And I'm sorry, but it's kind of important time-wise.
Is that why you 're nervous? No.
(LAUGHS) I'm sorry for kissing you last night.
Mmm, I guess we were smashed.
In more ways than one.
Yeah.
OK.
I'll sign it.
You don't have any questions? Do you think I should? No.
Yeah, just there.
Yep.
Tonight me and Elle made risotto.
It's a kind of gluggy rice thing.
But I said I liked it 'cause Elle's so nice.
Everyone got really drunk last night.
Hey, you.
Hey, you.
I think I might leave.
Leave what? You know, go back.
To Medecins Sans Frontieres.
Bullshit.
What? That's the equivalent of me pissing off back to London and doing barrels of coke.
(LAUGHS) I hardly think it's the same thing.
It's running away.
You told me yourself how screwed up you were and how futile it all seemed in the end.
No, look, I think it's a good thing to do, you know? And I have to do something.
You just need to grow up.
That's what you need to do.
(LAUGHS) And you don't.
Jesus, Gabriel, your best friend just died.
Just grow up and get depressed about it.
It's horrible, and it's going to be horrible for a long time.
Do you care that he's dead? I care that you guys loved him.
Gotta go.
Have to go fuck someone up.
(DOOR OPENS) (FOOTSTEPS APPROACH) MAX: Do you wanna get stoned? (LAUGHS) Yeah.
MAN: Nat? Nat? Nat? Oh, hello! Oh, you 're here! Ohh! You know Darren and Fiona, on the board.
Oh, hello! Oh, God, I love your necklace.
Thank you.
Can you join us? Actually, I've got some going-away drinks.
Actually, they're really boring, so, yes, I'd love to.
(LAUGHS) We were discussing the porno our host, Selma, was in.
Oh, the poor thing, yeah.
I was just saying to Melanie this morning - it's so unfortunate.
I mean, this is the thing I don't get about the younger generation.
She's like, " Oh, sod her.
She's dead, move on.
" She WHAT? Yeah.
She's so cold, that girl.
She's so cold! I mean, this business, it's about relationships, you know? People.
And she thinks it's about making steps out of the bodies that drop.
Should we get some pâte? Are you guys hungry, or? Oh, and some oysters.
Yes! Genius.
She's a really good friend of mine, Selma.
Oh, really? I didn't know that.
It's really sad.
Mmm.
Yeah, I called her this morning and sent her some flowers.
She's in hiding.
Oh, no, no, she'll be back.
She is too good at what she does.
You know, presenting isn't just bubbly faces and big tits.
You know, there is an art to it, and it takes 10 years to learn.
You 're really good on the phones.
Oh, thank you! Oh, it's fun, you know? And may I say how gracefully you 've handled it.
She was a star in the UK and now she's on mobisodes, but no complaining.
Oh, I'm a grown-up, you know? You do the best wherever you are.
You know, that really pisses me off, her saying that about Selma.
Melanie's always so sweetness-and-light whenever WE see her.
Oh, you know, she's young and she's ambitious.
We can't really blame her for that, can we? Should we get some more champagne? Yeah, of course we should.
And then you can tell me where you got your necklace.
HUE Y: It's not all bad.
You 've got Whitehall and Pall Mall.
If you get Northumberland ALLY: I'm gonna buy a house.
GABRIEL: Did you get 200 when you passed Go? ALLY: Yeah, I got that.
Monopolist! HUE Y: Mmm, Mayfair! I was a pig in our school concert.
I should have been a chicken.
I was putting my costume on, and in it, Dad had put a Chupa Chup.
And on it, it said, "Good luck, piggy," and an 'X '.
I didn't know that.
Someone stole the Chupa Chup.
Probably Becky.
(LAUGHTER) ELLE: Here's to Vince.
A hell of a guy, a hell of a friend.
A complete one-of-a-kind in a world of clones.
GABRIEL: To Vince.
GIGl: To Dad.
Mmm! Shall I open another bottle? ALLY: Don't you have a plane to catch? Bottle of red and a couple of Stilnox, I'll wake up and I'll be at Heathrow.
Time for bed, you.
Ohh! GABRIEL: Yeah, me too.
No! I start work at 5:00.
ELLE: Eww.
Alright.
GABRIEL: See ya.
Goodnight.
I'll walk you out.
Better go home soon.
You know what's weird? I don't.
I don't have to worry about shit like that anymore.
You know, like, no-one can tell me what to do.
Well, your mum.
No, she can make me feel guilty.
She can't She can't scare me.
He was pretty scary, your dad.
Yeah, I know.
He'd have you on edge the whole time.
He'd be, like, "Let's go for a milkshake.
" And then suddenly you 'd be watching him smash some guy's window in.
And then you 'd go for a milkshake.
(COUGHS) Yeah! Stay! I can't.
I'd love to, though.
I'll come back down any weekend you want, yeah? I may ring you a lot, drunk and missing him.
Promise? Yeah, I do.
Thank you.
Can we go now? I'm teaching her compassion.
(LAUGHS) (PHONE RINGS) Hi, Lucinda.
Oh, I didn't hang up on you.
Jesus, Lucinda, why are you being such a a cow about this? Hello, Lucinda? It's me, Ally.
Thank you.
Listen, I need to tell you - you have to have sex with your husband.
Because Vince and I didn't.
We let it drift away.
And he cheated on me.
And that was how we got close to each other, always.
So just fuck him, will you? Hi, Lucinda.
I'll call you from Singapore, OK? (LAUGHS) And that's why I love you, Ally! Go on, get outta here.
OK, we're going.
Thanks.
Goodbye! I got a call from the Health Department today.
Very impressed with my juvenile detention paper.
So they should be.
It's brilliant.
Believe that? I hammer them and their policies and they wanna talk to me about it.
That's great.
Mmm.
(SIGHS) Doesn't seem real, Vince being dead.
No.
I thought today - what if you died? You thought or you wished? Oh, don't say that.
I love you.
When that guy rang me from the department, I was so happy I just couldn't wait to tell you.
You 're always the first person I wanna call.
Even when you 're mad at me.
(LAUGHS) Yeah, I know.
That's what makes it so annoying.
I'm not gonna die.
You will, though, if you pash someone else.
Understood.
(KNOCKS BOTTLE OVER) Uh! I thought we weren't gonna do this anymore.
Well, maybe I'm here to check and see how you are.
Really? No.
(BOTH LAUGH) So did you do it? Well, time will tell, but I'm pretty good at it.
Are we still talking about your job? (COUPLE MOAN AND PANT) (PHONE RINGS) Oh, shit, it's Ally.
Oh, leave it! (SHOUTS) Gabriel! Shit.
Shit.
ALLY: Gabriel! Maybe something's wrong.
Oh, fuck it.
Gabriel! Hold still! Hold still.
(GRUNTS) Hey! Hey! You ready? Yeah! (KNOCK AT DOOR) Hey! Hi.
Um was I yelling really loudly? Sorry.
What's wrong? Are you? GABRIEL: Yeah, what's up? Oh, I was I Do you want some coffee? I have to go.
Oh, fuck! Ally! Ally! FUCK! Ally! NAT: Ally! Ally, come back up! You had sex with him! It's no big deal.
No! It never is with you! Ally, I'm Ahh! What? (YELPS) Stop! Ally! Hi.
I can't sleep.
I had this dream.
Mmm? About Dad.
He came to me and gave me these red pythons.
Said, "Keep these for me, will you?" Our father, who art in heaven, hallowed be thy name.
Thy kingdom come, thy will be done BOTH: On earth as it is in heaven.
Give us this day our daily bread and forgive us our trespasses as we forgive those who trespass against us.
And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil.
Amen.
Shouldn't Romeo be here? ALLY: Yes.
Helping? He should.
Where do I put this? It's written on the box.
And it's coded green - that's downstairs.
B - bathroom.
Are you sure I have to put it downstairs? Yes, I'm sure.
You 're such a nerd sometimes, Mum.
No, I'm not.
I'm organised! NAT: Hello? NAT: Hey! Hey, Nat.
Do you like it? Yeah, wow! Guess the insurance money came through OK.
Mm-hm.
It's a bit cool for you, isn't it? Well, I'm cool! Why do people think I'm not cool? No, it's just it's the sort of place I'd live! (LAUGHS) Good.
Because I thought maybe you 'd want to move in.
I thought you 'd never ask! The one thing, though - if I live here, you 're gonna have to start talking to Gabriel again.
We're not doing it anymore, but you have to get over it.
I don't see that he did anything wrong, apart from, you know, bad timing.
(SIGHS) I don't know.
Do you still love him? I don't feel anything at all.
About anything - except the kids.
You can help! (TAPS COUNTER) Did I tell you - my Q score, it's off the charts.
I don't know what that means.
It means I'm really popular.
(CHUCKLES) Romeo.
ROMEO: Not my type.
You 're the only Year 11 arrogant enough to have a type.
No, I mean, like, they're indie girls.
They make me feel stupid.
They're like " Do you know this shit band from Glasgow?" I'm like, " No, I don't, 'cause they're shit, you posing bitch.
" (LAUGHS) Maybe you 're just not in the mood.
You have a joint? No.
Oi, fags.
You got a smoke? Fuck off.
What?! Oh, Romeo! Romeo, don't.
It's you or it's them, Max.
What the fuck is your problem? Sorry.
Hey, you 're a dickhead.
I'm used to it.
It just happens, you know? Yeah.
I I noticed.
(SIGHS) Hey, um, how about talking to someone? My mum? I'm fine, Max.
See ya.
(CALLS) Hi! Hi.
Hi.
Hey.
I'm cooking.
Really? Why? Celebrating.
(LAUGHS) How did you know? Hey.
Oh, hi! Um, got some champagne.
Did you tell her? Tell me what? Well, we talked to Billy today.
And it looks like the premier's gonna be gone in a month.
So we're gonna have a crack.
You 're kidding! No.
We start tomorrow.
(CHUCKLES) So that's why we're celebrating.
Yeah! Didn't you have some big interview today? Oh, yeah! Sweetheart, how did it go? I got it! Ohh! They said, "Wait outside," and I got it! (LAUGHS) Brilliant.
That's brilliant! I know, I know! I'm so excited! Well, we really are celebrating, then! Yeah! And I just can't fight it! Oh! Let's get some glasses.
Do you think Dad'll know we moved? I suppose.
Strange, isn't it? I've never lived anywhere else.
I think it'll be good.
Do you miss him still? Yeah.
Do you think we could dig up my rabbit and rebury it here? No.
Tangle (AU) S02E02 - The Day After
Why don't we all live in the same city? Because you wouldn't pay my tax bill.
You are fucking cheeky.
I know how much he loved you.
I miss him so much already.
(SOBS) I found this note my dad wrote three days ago.
It's like if I hold this, he's still alive.
You 're very polished, very professional.
But unfortunately, for this weathergirl, we are actually looking for a weatherGIRL, not a weather middle-aged woman.
ALLY: So you 're on a show? What is it? You know 'So You Think You 're So Gifted'? You 're on that? No.
Well, it's a download to phones.
Phones? Mmm, people watch it on their phones.
Why would they do that? That has to be (LAUGHS) the skeleton puppet to beat all skeleton puppets! Gabriel! I know you feel bad about what happened between you and Vince.
You don't know how I feel.
(OPENS DOOR) Ally, Ally, Ally! Oh, Jesus.
(CRUNCH!) Please tell me that's not my rabbit.
Tangle (AU) S02E02 - The Day After (DOOR OPENS) Hey.
Why did Joe go? I don't know.
He freaks me out.
He just watches people.
So do you.
I'm not weird about it, though.
I buried my rabbit.
Can you come with me and say some prayers over him? Maybe later.
Get in.
Got my shoes on.
I don't care.
Everyone out there? The bed.
I know.
(INHALES DEEPLY AND SIGHS) Are you OK? I'm gonna go to school.
You don't have to.
I know.
I'm like a celebrity, though.
They all feel sorry for me.
It's quite nice.
OK.
Sorry about your rabbit.
Don't tell them I'm awake.
(ALARM BEEPS) Ugh! Jesus, Christine.
Prick.
(BEEPING INTENSIFIES) (DOOR OPENS) OK, let's go! Come on, we'll be late.
MAX: What? You can't expect me to go to school today! And yet I do.
How about that? (LAUGHS) Mum! Just get dressed, Max.
Yesterday was kind of huge.
I got home at 1:00 in the morning.
Don't we all just need to chill out? No, we need to get on with our lives.
Mum, I just think that You just think what? Ugh, I'll get dressed! (PANTS AND GROANS) Now, work.
Yeah.
Me too.
Shit! Did we do that? Yep! We're like rabbits on speed.
It's disgusting.
Can you be a love and clean it up? I've gotta be there in time.
(GROANS) Did I tell you about Selma McTeer? Porno of her in the stairwell with two security guys.
Don't you see what this means? Apparently not.
Well, she's gone.
She's finished.
She's off the show.
And waiting in the wings is me.
Right.
Whereas I just have to go heal the sick.
That job belongs to me.
'Bye! (DOOR OPENS AND CLOSES) (DOOR CLOSES) (PANTS) I loathe you.
You should come! Sweat out the toxins, of which you have so many.
No, I'll be fine with my (HUE Y VOMITS) (SPITS AND GROANS) Better? Much.
ROMEO: That's wrong, man.
Romeo! Want some eggs, mate? Nup.
Your old man loved my scrambled eggs.
In fact, I reckon he was kind of obsessed by them.
I'd never teach him the secrets, though.
(STOMACH GURGLES) So, um I bet you 're a tiger with the ladies.
Good one, Huey.
ROMEO: You don't have to go to school, Gige.
GIGl: I wish everybody would stop saying that.
Oh, hi, Gigi.
Are you going to school? I don't think you have to, honey.
Is your mum up? Did you get some lunch? I buried my rabbit.
I'm sorry.
Hello? Hello? (DOORBELL RINGS) (DOOR OPENS) WOMAN: Hi.
I just wanted to drop some casseroles off for Ally, just to ELLE: Yeah! No, thanks.
Another one? Tuna and corn.
ELLE: A disgusting combination.
Must you say things like that? I'm fragile.
Well, maybe we should just taste them all.
Prioritise that way, and then just start rejecting people at the door.
I ain't tasting anything.
ELLE: You know what we need? Bloody Marys.
Genius.
Aren't I just? Do you think we should check on Ally? No, she'll be right.
Just leave her.
She knows we're here.
Last night was big.
How was when she pashed your husband? Phwoar! (LAUGHS) Yeah, well, grief unhinges people.
WOMAN: You OK? (SIGHS) Yeah, just (CLEARS THROAT) hungover.
What's up? Arse abscess.
Cubicle 3.
Great.
Look, you 're gonna have to unclench.
Nup.
You can't sit down - you 're in agony.
This will just pop the abscess.
Then we can drain it and see if you need surgery.
Jesus.
It'll be better in the long run, believe me.
Need you in 2.
Car accident.
30-year-old woman, pedestrian.
She's dead.
She was bleeding internally, and Well, basically dead on arrival.
Um Doctor? Yes? Are you gonna call it? Uh, let me see your watch.
8:33.
OK.
(CLEARS THROAT) Oh, how was the funeral? I think I did something stupid, but I don't remember what.
Does your wife remember what you did? She gives me that impression.
You 're in the doghouse? I'm in the dogbowl.
Hmm.
(CLEARS THROAT) Look, Tim, I don't wanna be a prick, but as your new advisor, I gotta tell you you need to finish this thing with Nicky Barnham and Vince Kovac's wife, yeah? I know.
Oh, I kissed Ally! Shit! And who's Ally? Vince's wife.
As in the (LAUGHS) As in the widow? Yeah.
(LAUGHS) I guess so.
(GROANS) Oh, Tim! (LAUGHS) (SOFTLY) Ally? (KNOCK AT DOOR) Ally, are you awake? I don't think we should wake her up.
Well, we need to check if she's OK.
Ally? That woman's family are here.
OK.
(SIGHS) (REFLECTIVE MUSIC) (SIGHS) So, um, Elle, are you, um Are you in a relationship? Yeah - seven years.
Oh, wow.
Wow indeed! And it's, um It's good? You 're happy? Yeah.
I mean, she's a tricky person.
She's slightly depressive.
Oh.
So, yeah.
But I've given so much to it.
I do love her, so Doesn't matter what it is, does it? You always feel a little, um Trapped.
(LAUGHS) Yep.
Yep.
(LAUGHS) Yeah.
Yeah, I love her.
It's just This is gonna sound screwed up, but yesterday at the funeral, I thought, "God, I wish I was Ally.
" Really? Freedom and sympathy and a free pass to do whatever the hell you want and no-one can judge you.
Yeah.
Yeah, I guess so.
(LAUGHS) I mean, she should be coming to our houses, cooking for us! Yeah! (LAUGHS FORCEDLY) (SIGHS DEEPLY) (PHONE RINGS) (WHISPERS) Shit.
Hi, Ally.
What are you doing? Working.
You OK? I'm in a taxi.
Yeah? Where to? I don't know.
I feel like going to the movies.
Do you wanna come to the movies? Yeah, I don't think so.
Where are you? Working.
Not what I mean.
I mean, where are you? I keep looking around for you and you 're not there.
Ally, I can't talk.
You don't have to.
It's a movie.
(LINE DEAD TONE) (LAUGHS) The ball, Huey! Uh, guys, Ally's gone.
What? Gone? How? Uh, look, we've just gotta find her.
I rang her mobile.
She's not answering.
(DOORBELL RINGS) Maybe that's her.
She's not gonna ring her own bell, Huey.
Excellent point.
Hi.
Hi.
Uh everything OK? Well, we don't know where Ally is, so if you 've come around to pash her again I remembered.
I'm sorry.
(SIGHS) Sorry, sorry, sorry.
Blah, blah, blah.
Christine Oh, piss off, Tim.
You shit me right now.
Let's just talk about it.
I don't wanna talk about it.
I will, like I always do, and we'll make our peace, like we always do, but right now, I just wanna hate you for a few hours.
Do you wanna know why? Why? 'Cause you deserve it.
OK.
Just hold the cards.
And let your vibrations I don't really wanna know my future.
Oh.
What do you want? Do you know about dead people? Crossing over, like that show on TV? Mmm.
You want to contact somebody? I don't know.
Can you do that if I do want it? No.
Unfortunately, I don't have that gift.
You just do the future.
I guess.
Did someone die recently? My dad.
A few days ago.
Ohh.
You poor thing.
He got hit by a car.
So it was kind of sudden.
And I was watching this movie once which said when people die suddenly, their souls don't go to heaven straightaway.
Is that true? I do know this - that when someone dies, they're often around for a time.
You know, a sense of their presence, or signs.
Signs? Mmm.
Like what? Every day, I go walking at St Kilda Beach.
When my sister died, a seagull would follow me, for months.
And then I realised it was her.
Did you try and catch it? No, no.
She just wanted to help me through it.
Right.
You 'll be OK, I can tell you that.
You are a strong person who takes good care of herself.
Would you have known if I'd seen you last week? Would you have known my dad was about to die? MAN: Snowy, I just don't feel that funny anymore.
MAN 2: You are, AJ.
You are.
You got (MOVIE DIALOGUE FADES) You didn't tell the others? No, no.
It's just you and me.
And Adam Sandler.
We're just going through a rough patch, I guess.
What's wrong? Honestly? Oh, well, she's a nagging bitch.
(LAUGHS) But I'm no picnic either.
I drink too much, spend too much, fart too much.
Gross.
Sex - um, how do I put this? We don't have sex, no.
And it's screwing me up.
So I've started watching porn, yeah.
Obsessively watching porn.
Is it weird I'm telling you that? No.
No.
There's nothing normal about today, so go right ahead.
Well, um, at first it was kind of normal porn.
But that gets kinda boring, so you move onto the harder stuff to get off, and then weirder.
Um, then that does nothing for me, so, yeah, then worse.
Worse? What's worse? Do I wanna know? OK.
Um Last month, I was in Birmingham on business.
And I'm kind of watching myself from the outside.
And I'm on the phone, and I'm about to hire a transvestite hooker.
And I start to think, " Huey what has happened to you?" But isn't a transvestite a man? Exactly.
Yeah.
Oh, I didn't know you No, no, no.
No, I never have.
Nup.
Have you talked to her? Yeah, but she's, like, "Sex - big deal," you know? But it is a big deal.
You want your wife to want you.
I guess so.
You know, and then I don't wanna be the guy who sleeps with hookers, who cheats on his wife, but I feel it's becoming inevitable.
And then suddenly I'm the bad guy who Lucinda castrates forever or divorces, tells the girls and then I'm the arsehole.
You 're not an arsehole, Huey, otherwise you wouldn't feel so bad about it.
(LOUDLY) I just wanna have sex! MAN: Good luck, mate.
Now that you 've told everyone here, you might be in with a chance.
What about you? Are you OK? Dazed and numb.
I can smell him.
His smell is in my nostrils.
You wanna go home? Not yet.
WOMAN: Hi, I'm Gaia Andrews, and welcome to 'So You Think You 're So Gifted'.
WOMAN: OK, that was great.
I just want you to try it again and just imagine that you 're full of bubbles, OK? You could float.
Yep, OK.
I totally know what you mean.
Melanie, can I see you? You 're Nat! Oh, my God, I love you! Yeah, I love you too.
Just make sure you 're full of bubbles and float away.
What's going on? Ah, looks like auditions.
Yeah, we all know who the obvious choice is, though.
Darren said as much.
Yeah, I know.
I just thought it'd be good if we had some options.
I mean, we know that you 're great on the phones, Nat, it's just on the bigger screens It's just your age.
It really pops.
What's YOUR problem with me? I don't like you.
What? I don't want you to get the job, OK? And fortunately for me, the men I need to convince are men, so if I can find some bubbly girl with good tits and no crows feet, then you 're toast.
(LAUGHS) Oh, honey, you shouldn't take me on.
No, you 'll lose.
You 'll be googling 'Centrelink' by Friday.
If you 'll excuse us, Nat, we've got testing to do.
Hey, be my guest.
(LAUGHS) Ah! Poise.
You need poise in this business.
WAS in love with his wife.
Might still be in love with his wife.
Whose sister I'm screwing.
I mean, I still can't believe he's dead.
You know, I don't know whether to feel guilty or angry or sad or not give a fuck.
You know, part of me doesn't even give a fuck.
It sounds like you give a fuck.
You allowed to swear? I don't know.
It happens.
If you 're unhappy with your situation, then change it.
As for Vince, well It's just gonna hurt for a long time.
You loved him.
He was a prick.
Yes, he was.
But you still did.
(SIGHS) You OK? I'm OK.
It's my special risotto! And mine.
And chief parmigiano grater, Gigi, and mine.
GABRIEL: Where'd you learn it? No doubt the feisty licker otherwise known as Lucia? What's a licker? (GABRIEL LAUGHS) It's someone who tests the risotto with their Finger.
Finger.
Yes.
Just like that.
(LAUGHS) GIGl: Mum! ELLE: Where've you been? I went to the movies.
HUE Y: Found her.
That smells amazing.
Are you OK? Yeah, I just needed some clear air.
ALLY: Hey, you.
Hey.
Listen, Ally, um Do you think you can find Vince's will? The sooner you start probate, the better.
Yeah, it's probably in his office somewhere.
Does it have to be tonight? Well, we'll just find it tonight.
We don't have to do anything.
No big decisions.
OK? OK.
I never come in here.
Messy, wasn't he? Got it.
Great.
That should make things lots easier.
Oh, shit, he hasn't signed it.
Gabriel It's probably just a fuse.
I'll have a look.
Dad, I know it was you! All your friends are here.
They're really nice.
Christine killed my rabbit.
Stupid cow.
I went to the city and had a hot chocolate in the arcade like we always do.
And the spotty waitress was really nice.
So he had agreed to sell them his share of the company for $350,000.
Right.
Well, Vince never really talked to me about business.
I don't really know anything about that part of his life.
And that was most of his life.
That's weird, I think.
If you just sign the contract, I'll give you a cheque.
And I'm sorry, but it's kind of important time-wise.
Is that why you 're nervous? No.
(LAUGHS) I'm sorry for kissing you last night.
Mmm, I guess we were smashed.
In more ways than one.
Yeah.
OK.
I'll sign it.
You don't have any questions? Do you think I should? No.
Yeah, just there.
Yep.
Tonight me and Elle made risotto.
It's a kind of gluggy rice thing.
But I said I liked it 'cause Elle's so nice.
Everyone got really drunk last night.
Hey, you.
Hey, you.
I think I might leave.
Leave what? You know, go back.
To Medecins Sans Frontieres.
Bullshit.
What? That's the equivalent of me pissing off back to London and doing barrels of coke.
(LAUGHS) I hardly think it's the same thing.
It's running away.
You told me yourself how screwed up you were and how futile it all seemed in the end.
No, look, I think it's a good thing to do, you know? And I have to do something.
You just need to grow up.
That's what you need to do.
(LAUGHS) And you don't.
Jesus, Gabriel, your best friend just died.
Just grow up and get depressed about it.
It's horrible, and it's going to be horrible for a long time.
Do you care that he's dead? I care that you guys loved him.
Gotta go.
Have to go fuck someone up.
(DOOR OPENS) (FOOTSTEPS APPROACH) MAX: Do you wanna get stoned? (LAUGHS) Yeah.
MAN: Nat? Nat? Nat? Oh, hello! Oh, you 're here! Ohh! You know Darren and Fiona, on the board.
Oh, hello! Oh, God, I love your necklace.
Thank you.
Can you join us? Actually, I've got some going-away drinks.
Actually, they're really boring, so, yes, I'd love to.
(LAUGHS) We were discussing the porno our host, Selma, was in.
Oh, the poor thing, yeah.
I was just saying to Melanie this morning - it's so unfortunate.
I mean, this is the thing I don't get about the younger generation.
She's like, " Oh, sod her.
She's dead, move on.
" She WHAT? Yeah.
She's so cold, that girl.
She's so cold! I mean, this business, it's about relationships, you know? People.
And she thinks it's about making steps out of the bodies that drop.
Should we get some pâte? Are you guys hungry, or? Oh, and some oysters.
Yes! Genius.
She's a really good friend of mine, Selma.
Oh, really? I didn't know that.
It's really sad.
Mmm.
Yeah, I called her this morning and sent her some flowers.
She's in hiding.
Oh, no, no, she'll be back.
She is too good at what she does.
You know, presenting isn't just bubbly faces and big tits.
You know, there is an art to it, and it takes 10 years to learn.
You 're really good on the phones.
Oh, thank you! Oh, it's fun, you know? And may I say how gracefully you 've handled it.
She was a star in the UK and now she's on mobisodes, but no complaining.
Oh, I'm a grown-up, you know? You do the best wherever you are.
You know, that really pisses me off, her saying that about Selma.
Melanie's always so sweetness-and-light whenever WE see her.
Oh, you know, she's young and she's ambitious.
We can't really blame her for that, can we? Should we get some more champagne? Yeah, of course we should.
And then you can tell me where you got your necklace.
HUE Y: It's not all bad.
You 've got Whitehall and Pall Mall.
If you get Northumberland ALLY: I'm gonna buy a house.
GABRIEL: Did you get 200 when you passed Go? ALLY: Yeah, I got that.
Monopolist! HUE Y: Mmm, Mayfair! I was a pig in our school concert.
I should have been a chicken.
I was putting my costume on, and in it, Dad had put a Chupa Chup.
And on it, it said, "Good luck, piggy," and an 'X '.
I didn't know that.
Someone stole the Chupa Chup.
Probably Becky.
(LAUGHTER) ELLE: Here's to Vince.
A hell of a guy, a hell of a friend.
A complete one-of-a-kind in a world of clones.
GABRIEL: To Vince.
GIGl: To Dad.
Mmm! Shall I open another bottle? ALLY: Don't you have a plane to catch? Bottle of red and a couple of Stilnox, I'll wake up and I'll be at Heathrow.
Time for bed, you.
Ohh! GABRIEL: Yeah, me too.
No! I start work at 5:00.
ELLE: Eww.
Alright.
GABRIEL: See ya.
Goodnight.
I'll walk you out.
Better go home soon.
You know what's weird? I don't.
I don't have to worry about shit like that anymore.
You know, like, no-one can tell me what to do.
Well, your mum.
No, she can make me feel guilty.
She can't She can't scare me.
He was pretty scary, your dad.
Yeah, I know.
He'd have you on edge the whole time.
He'd be, like, "Let's go for a milkshake.
" And then suddenly you 'd be watching him smash some guy's window in.
And then you 'd go for a milkshake.
(COUGHS) Yeah! Stay! I can't.
I'd love to, though.
I'll come back down any weekend you want, yeah? I may ring you a lot, drunk and missing him.
Promise? Yeah, I do.
Thank you.
Can we go now? I'm teaching her compassion.
(LAUGHS) (PHONE RINGS) Hi, Lucinda.
Oh, I didn't hang up on you.
Jesus, Lucinda, why are you being such a a cow about this? Hello, Lucinda? It's me, Ally.
Thank you.
Listen, I need to tell you - you have to have sex with your husband.
Because Vince and I didn't.
We let it drift away.
And he cheated on me.
And that was how we got close to each other, always.
So just fuck him, will you? Hi, Lucinda.
I'll call you from Singapore, OK? (LAUGHS) And that's why I love you, Ally! Go on, get outta here.
OK, we're going.
Thanks.
Goodbye! I got a call from the Health Department today.
Very impressed with my juvenile detention paper.
So they should be.
It's brilliant.
Believe that? I hammer them and their policies and they wanna talk to me about it.
That's great.
Mmm.
(SIGHS) Doesn't seem real, Vince being dead.
No.
I thought today - what if you died? You thought or you wished? Oh, don't say that.
I love you.
When that guy rang me from the department, I was so happy I just couldn't wait to tell you.
You 're always the first person I wanna call.
Even when you 're mad at me.
(LAUGHS) Yeah, I know.
That's what makes it so annoying.
I'm not gonna die.
You will, though, if you pash someone else.
Understood.
(KNOCKS BOTTLE OVER) Uh! I thought we weren't gonna do this anymore.
Well, maybe I'm here to check and see how you are.
Really? No.
(BOTH LAUGH) So did you do it? Well, time will tell, but I'm pretty good at it.
Are we still talking about your job? (COUPLE MOAN AND PANT) (PHONE RINGS) Oh, shit, it's Ally.
Oh, leave it! (SHOUTS) Gabriel! Shit.
Shit.
ALLY: Gabriel! Maybe something's wrong.
Oh, fuck it.
Gabriel! Hold still! Hold still.
(GRUNTS) Hey! Hey! You ready? Yeah! (KNOCK AT DOOR) Hey! Hi.
Um was I yelling really loudly? Sorry.
What's wrong? Are you? GABRIEL: Yeah, what's up? Oh, I was I Do you want some coffee? I have to go.
Oh, fuck! Ally! Ally! FUCK! Ally! NAT: Ally! Ally, come back up! You had sex with him! It's no big deal.
No! It never is with you! Ally, I'm Ahh! What? (YELPS) Stop! Ally! Hi.
I can't sleep.
I had this dream.
Mmm? About Dad.
He came to me and gave me these red pythons.
Said, "Keep these for me, will you?" Our father, who art in heaven, hallowed be thy name.
Thy kingdom come, thy will be done BOTH: On earth as it is in heaven.
Give us this day our daily bread and forgive us our trespasses as we forgive those who trespass against us.
And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil.
Amen.
Shouldn't Romeo be here? ALLY: Yes.
Helping? He should.
Where do I put this? It's written on the box.
And it's coded green - that's downstairs.
B - bathroom.
Are you sure I have to put it downstairs? Yes, I'm sure.
You 're such a nerd sometimes, Mum.
No, I'm not.
I'm organised! NAT: Hello? NAT: Hey! Hey, Nat.
Do you like it? Yeah, wow! Guess the insurance money came through OK.
Mm-hm.
It's a bit cool for you, isn't it? Well, I'm cool! Why do people think I'm not cool? No, it's just it's the sort of place I'd live! (LAUGHS) Good.
Because I thought maybe you 'd want to move in.
I thought you 'd never ask! The one thing, though - if I live here, you 're gonna have to start talking to Gabriel again.
We're not doing it anymore, but you have to get over it.
I don't see that he did anything wrong, apart from, you know, bad timing.
(SIGHS) I don't know.
Do you still love him? I don't feel anything at all.
About anything - except the kids.
You can help! (TAPS COUNTER) Did I tell you - my Q score, it's off the charts.
I don't know what that means.
It means I'm really popular.
(CHUCKLES) Romeo.
ROMEO: Not my type.
You 're the only Year 11 arrogant enough to have a type.
No, I mean, like, they're indie girls.
They make me feel stupid.
They're like " Do you know this shit band from Glasgow?" I'm like, " No, I don't, 'cause they're shit, you posing bitch.
" (LAUGHS) Maybe you 're just not in the mood.
You have a joint? No.
Oi, fags.
You got a smoke? Fuck off.
What?! Oh, Romeo! Romeo, don't.
It's you or it's them, Max.
What the fuck is your problem? Sorry.
Hey, you 're a dickhead.
I'm used to it.
It just happens, you know? Yeah.
I I noticed.
(SIGHS) Hey, um, how about talking to someone? My mum? I'm fine, Max.
See ya.
(CALLS) Hi! Hi.
Hi.
Hey.
I'm cooking.
Really? Why? Celebrating.
(LAUGHS) How did you know? Hey.
Oh, hi! Um, got some champagne.
Did you tell her? Tell me what? Well, we talked to Billy today.
And it looks like the premier's gonna be gone in a month.
So we're gonna have a crack.
You 're kidding! No.
We start tomorrow.
(CHUCKLES) So that's why we're celebrating.
Yeah! Didn't you have some big interview today? Oh, yeah! Sweetheart, how did it go? I got it! Ohh! They said, "Wait outside," and I got it! (LAUGHS) Brilliant.
That's brilliant! I know, I know! I'm so excited! Well, we really are celebrating, then! Yeah! And I just can't fight it! Oh! Let's get some glasses.
Do you think Dad'll know we moved? I suppose.
Strange, isn't it? I've never lived anywhere else.
I think it'll be good.
Do you miss him still? Yeah.
Do you think we could dig up my rabbit and rebury it here? No.
