Tangle (2009) s02e04 Episode Script
Fallout
Are there any nominations for the position of leader of the party in the Legislative Assembly? MAN: Tim Williams.
Do you accept the nomination? Accepted.
Anyone else? MAN: I nominate the premier, Tom Dance.
What the fuck is he doing? I don't know.
I'm just very worried about Tim.
If this doesn't work out, he'll be devastated.
Oh, thanks.
Oh, hey.
Hey, hey, hey.
I feel that we're playing a very dangerous game.
I didn't think you wanted to play.
I've got a lot to lose.
Wanna do the beef stroganoff? OK, just serve it up.
Alright.
Would you like beef stroganoff? There you are.
Hey, um, any chance I could maybe stay with you for a week or so? Sure.
Don't you have to get back to Broome? Well, I'm sort of rethinking my career opportunities.
MAN: Hi.
Hi.
I'm Conrad.
I'm Nat.
Yeah, I know.
I'm a big fan.
Oh, I love meeting fans! (BOTH LAUGH) So I guess you get asked out by a lot of your patients.
Funnily enough, it's never happened before.
Hello.
I'm Ally.
I'm Tanya.
'Bye, Gigi.
'Bye.
Tangle (AU) S02E04 - Fallout Gige, which one's better? What's it for? For work.
Then I'm going out tonight.
On a date.
I don't know.
See, that's what I think.
Who knows how I'm gonna feel tonight? Why don't you come home before you go out? Perfect! You 're so clever.
Is that Tim? REPORTER: Obviously the party has faith in the premier.
Do you think the public does? Well, obviously not, but that's why we had this bill.
Like the public, I think he's an arrogant sonofabitch with no balls.
They can see as well as I can that he couldn't lead a monkey to a banana raffle.
(CAMERAS CLICK) I hope the rest of your day gives you as much pleasure as you 've given me.
(REPORTERS SHOUT QUESTIONS) MAN ON RADIO: That was Tim Williams on the steps of Parliament House a few minutes ago.
There has been no reaction from Premier Tom Dance's office so far.
(PHONE VIBRATES) Hey.
MAX: Hey.
It's shit what happened about your dad.
Whatever.
Max, what's up with you? All that shit with your dad? I've got an appointment today about my hearing aid.
Man, that's bullshit.
Do you have to Do you have to actually wear that shit? This is not a good day for you, man.
Hi, Ally.
Oh! Hi, Paul.
I stopped by your house yesterday to see how you were going.
Gigi tell you? No! Sorry.
You 've got a lot of people staying at your house.
Um, cheque, savings or credit? Credit.
Is he supportive? I'm sorry? I see your husband's brother is staying with you.
(MACHINE WHIRRS AND BLEEPS) It's been declined.
Is there something wrong with your machine? Can you do it again? (MACHINE WHIRRS AND BLEEPS) I've got some cash.
No, no, it's OK.
I've got money at home.
Um l'll come back for this stuff.
Hey, do you want me to unpack any of the boxes down in the garage? Do you have any money? Yeah, how much do you need? Oh, do you mean for me staying here? No! Um No, don't.
Sorry, don't worry.
(PHONE RINGS) Shit! Hi, this is Gabriel.
Leave a message.
(BEEP!) Tim? I don't want to talk to anybody.
I've got nothing more to say.
I don't care who it is.
Even if it's your wife? She's called quite a few times.
(SIGHS) I don't want to talk to her either.
Tim! Didn't think I'd find you hiding.
Just reading the papers.
Oh? Suppose I got your attention.
Is that what you wanted? I wanted the premier's.
Yeah, he's just a little bit busy at the moment.
I was thinking maybe you and I could have lunch.
Thanks.
I'm a little busy.
Oh, yeah, um, reading the papers.
Tim, I could suggest to you that the antidote to 50 enemies is just one friend.
I think Aristotle suggested that.
You see, Timmy? That's why I've always had so much faith in you.
Come on.
We're going somewhere special.
(LEVEL CROSSING ALARM BELL RINGS) MAN: OK, I have a print-out of all your husband's accounts.
There's five of them! Yes.
This one here is your joint account, which is in arrears.
This one here is your rocket account, which is attached to your mortgage.
This one here is your credit card.
And this account here is in credit, but it's only in your husband's name.
Well, can't I just access this one? I mean, surely I can just transfer some money.
I haven't got any insurance for my house.
I've gotta pay my kids' school fees.
And then there's all these letters that I haven't opened.
I know it's not your problem, but I really need some help.
Look, I understand your dilemma, Mrs Kovac.
Unfortunately, there just isn't anything the bank can do about it.
Right.
Well, when I CAN access these accounts, then I can change banks.
Oh, we'll have the Henschke, thanks, Ben.
The '98.
Bad men are full of repentance.
Oh! Looks like I'm not the only one who can quote Aristotle, eh? Tim What you did this morning it was very effective suicide.
Well, he can't get rid of me.
Oh, piss off! That's the one, thanks, Ben.
(SNIFFS) You know, it remains tannic, but its extraordinary perfume of (SNIFFS) smoked meats, dried herbs, cedar, black fruits and leather is terribly seductive.
Oh, it's good.
Oh, I'm having the steak, of course.
I'll have the lamb.
Thanks.
Timmy, there's a good job in Singapore worth a lot of money.
You think you can make me leave the country? You can't go round telling journalists how you feel.
It's the cardinal rule.
Besides, Timmy, the people don't want to know how you feel.
Tom bloody Dance needs to know.
(SIGHS) Look What I said was not enough to make me leave the party.
We're not giving up on you, Timmy.
You just need to lie low for a couple of years, wait till the heat's come off you, and come back.
And we'll start again.
(PHONE RINGS) I'm sorry.
I'm sorry, I'm gonna have to take this call.
Christine Williams.
Oh, yeah, um Look, that's fine.
But tell him I can't do it any earlier than Monday.
OK.
Speak to you.
'Bye.
Sorry.
Sorry.
That's alright.
We're pretty much finished up here.
OK, Max, you can take the headphones off now.
Would you mind to just pop outside for a couple of minutes while I have a quick chat with Mum? So Max's hearing's pretty good.
You mean the other ear? (PHONE RINGS) Do you need to take it? No, no.
Sorry.
So do you think the hearing aid's gonna work? Max doesn't need a hearing aid.
Oh, sorry, I don't understand - we were told that he had some damage to his auditory nerve.
Mmm, but it's minimal.
He could've gone to a few rock concerts and ended up with a similar result.
What, he's faking not hearing? It happens with kids.
Sometimes something like this happens.
They find they like the attention it gives them.
We need to talk.
I know! I'm sorry, I didn't I couldn't hear properly at first, and then it sorta came back.
But by that stage, Dad had already done the press conference, and What? Are you saying that it's our fault? No, I Listen, Max Do you need to see a therapist? Can we do this part later? I need to get back to school.
Oh, this isn't over, Max.
This isn't over.
How was your lunch? You know I'm very fond of Timmy, don't you? But you were right about him.
His gaffe this morning certainly shines the light in your direction, doesn't it? Go talk to him.
Make him feel good about taking that job in Singapore.
I need some Quick-Eze.
Get rid of that indigestion I got at lunch.
Tim, look, uh Come to gloat? No.
You think I can't see right through you? Tim, you stuffed up this morning.
And you 're bloody lucky at least Billy's giving you an opportunity to Don't talk to me about opportunity, after you sold me out! I mean, be honest with yourself - you 're not made for this shit.
You 're too honest.
You get flattered too easily.
Look, Tim, go to Singapore.
You 'll make triple what you can make here.
Enjoy the wealth.
It's a It's a no-brainer.
Stay the fuck away from me.
(PHONE RINGS) Christine Williams.
WOMAN: Spiros Georgiades to see you.
Oh, no! Don't let Um, sorry, I mean, yes, look, sorry Um, can you just give me five minutes? Yeah, I'll call you when you can send him up.
OK, thanks.
(SHOWER RUNS) ALLY: Gabriel! Shit! Gabriel! Hey! Can I come up? I need to talk to you.
Uh It's urgent.
Yeah, I'll come down.
Do you know what this bank account is about? No idea.
Well, then maybe you can tell me why $50,000 is supposed to go to Tanya Hicks.
(SIGHS) He had a debt he needed to repay? Do you know who she is? How long have you known for? I found out because of the will.
Huh! That's a lie.
Why would I lie about that? You don't expect me to believe you, do you? Then why are you here? Tell me the truth! I am! Look, you can't hold me responsible I'm not blaming you for this, I just wanna know! Look, if you 'd looked at the will, you would have found out the same time I did.
But you didn't wanna know about anything.
Look, I'll find her for you, OK? Is everything OK? Yeah.
(SIGHS) I don't want you to find her.
Hi.
Hi.
This is about Tim? Um, well, we may as well talk in my office.
OK.
Do you want to take a seat? I heard what he said.
Yeah.
It's not why I'm here.
You hang my husband out to dry and you come here to pay me a visit? I wanted to see you.
At my work? Christine, this is about you and me.
Do you want me to leave? No.
Does your door have a lock on it? Yes.
(WHISPERS) This is my office.
I thought you liked taking risks.
I can't, sorry.
I can't.
I can't do this, sorry.
I just I really haven't done anything like this before, and and this is my office! I, um Oh.
OK.
(SIGHS) ROMEO: So when do you get your hearing aid? MAX: Can we not talk about it? I love not talking about shit.
Who's she? CHARLOTTE: She goes to my school.
Olivia's been hanging out with her heaps.
You think she's hot? No, she just looks new.
You 're so full of shit.
Hey! Hey.
I'm, uh, Romeo.
And this here's Max.
He's got a bit of a hearing problem, so you 'll have to speak up a bit.
I'm Charlotte.
I'm Ophelia.
Hi.
So, who wants to play spin the bottle? CHARLOTTE: Retro! Cool, I'm up.
What are we, nine? ROMEO: C'mon, it'll be fun.
I got you some cash.
What? Ally, I wanna help.
Please.
How do I look? Is this too much? Is the colour OK? Um, you look fine.
Well, what do you think, Joe? What's the money for? Rent.
How long are you gonna stay here, Joe? Nat! Not gonna stay a day longer than you.
Is that right?! You can stay as long as you like.
Now, can both of you get out? Ally! I said BOTH of you.
(BOTTLE SCRAPES) Truth or dare.
Truth.
Are you attracted to anyone in this room? Nuh.
Come on.
Oh, come on, come on! That was a lame question.
Truth or dare? Dare.
OK.
I dare you to kiss Max.
Come on, that's totally lame.
Oh, would you rather kiss me? No.
No? Well, are you in or are you out? Tongues.
(LAUGHS) Can you just chill, Romeo? I'm just trying to help.
(DOOR OPENS) MAN: What are you people doing here? You 're not supposed to be in here! GIRL: Quick! C'mon, get out of here now before I call your schools.
You 're very polite.
What, you don't like that? No, it's very sweet.
It's just strange in someone so young.
Ah.
We're not gonna bring up the young thing again, are we? No! I like you being young.
(BOTH LAUGH) My father was obsessed with good manners.
Really? Surprising, I know, when you think of his business acumen.
Are you close? That's a no-go zone.
Oh, right.
Sorry, that's bad manners of me.
Sorry.
(BOTH LAUGH) Shall we order? Um, a glass of champagne? Why not? Or two! TV: And remember that voting opens from midnight tonight and that every time you vote Margarita's still better.
Pizza needs meat.
And beer.
Nuh.
Coke.
(LAUGHS) Maybe when you 're older, you 'll appreciate the beer.
Now, there's an old saying - "Laugh and the world laughs with you.
"Cry and you 're going to need to blow your nose.
" Oh, she stole that from me! I said that the other day.
(ACCORDION MUSIC PLAYS ON TV) Are you gifted at anything? I have really double-jointed thumbs.
That's about it.
You? I can see colours.
As in, you 're colourblind? No - around people.
How do you mean? Well, it's kinda hard to explain.
But it's kind of like a magic eye.
When I look at someone long enough and squint a bit, suddenly a colour comes up.
Do I have a colour? Yeah.
It's kind of yellowy.
Mustardy yellow.
I gotta go.
Who was that? Have you got a boyfriend? No.
Bullshit! You 've got a little secret going on.
What if I press 'redial'? Get lost.
I'm trying to watch Nat.
Mmm, that's what I thought.
(SINGSONGS) Gigi's got a secret! Gigi's got a secret! Get lost! Good one.
(KNOCK AT DOOR) (DOOR OPENS) Yes.
Max have you heard from Dad? No.
Hang on a sec, Romeo.
I just wanna finish that conversation with you.
Oh, it's it's Romeo.
He's really cut up.
Yeah, sorry.
It's just Mum.
Yeah, I wouldn't worry about her, you know? If someone said that to me, I would just, you know I would ignore them, but Yeah, I know.
Huh? (DOOR CLOSES) Yeah, course it is! (PHONE RINGS) Oh, God.
I'm sorry.
I'm sorry.
It's just I'm worried about my sister.
She's got a recent dead husband.
(REJECTS CALL) Oh, don't go there.
(CHUCKLES) So is that really bad manners in your little book - answering a call? Well, I've turned mine off.
Really? Of course.
I don't believe you.
(PHONE RINGS) You 've got it vibrating on you somewhere.
You wanna pat me down? Are you flirting with me? (PHONE RINGS) I'm sorry.
I'm sorry about my bad manners.
Tim.
Nat.
Are you OK? I really need to see you.
Um, OK.
I could have lunch with you tomorrow.
Uh, no.
Now? Well, I can't.
Please? Sorry? I'm going to the Hilton.
It'd be really good if you could be there.
Upset ex-boyfriend? Um It's the father of my child.
I'm really, really sorry, but l'm gonna have to go and see him.
I hope you understand.
Come on.
I'll drive you.
You know, I could call you if you want.
Maybe we could hook up for a drink in a couple of hours.
I think it's great that you 're such a good friend.
I really like that.
I just hope it's not the end for us.
Wow.
You 're not bad for a kid.
OK, um alright, stop or I'm not gonna get out of here.
OK, um (CHUCKLES) (KNOCK AT DOOR) Hi.
OK.
What's going on? I thought we might run away together.
Where to? Singapore.
(LAUGHS) S Sorry, I I can't live in Singapore.
Not sure I can either.
What about Paris? (SIGHS) So, would you run away with me? Need more information.
(CHUCKLES) I was told today that I'm being moved to Singapore.
They're pushing you out of the country? Well, they're trying to.
You 're not gonna go? (SIGHS) Um, I'm really flattered that you 've called me, but, um, why aren't you at home with Christine? I haven't told her yet.
Because? OK.
Um, I need to know I need to know what's really going on.
(SIGHS) I don't know if it was the lead-up to the vote or before or it's her job or I've just dropped the ball, but she's just not there anymore.
Right.
And I found some condoms in a cupboard in our bedroom.
She probably bought those for Max.
That's probably why they're in a cupboard.
She's just so She's so cold and erratic.
So you lost your job AND your wife? That's a bad day.
You really don't want to be with me, do you? I don't honestly think that you and me fucking is what you need right now.
We could spoon.
(ENDS CALL) Hey! 'South Park' was on.
(DOOR CLOSES SOFTLY) Dad? Did you sleep? (SIGHS) Not much.
Did you figure anything out? I'd be really sad if you take Max.
I have to save my marriage.
(RINGING TONE) TIM: You 've reached Tim Williams.
I'm unavailable, so please leave your name and a brief message.
(BEEP!) You need to tell me where you are.
Hey.
Hey.
It's nice here with you.
You know, you are the first guy I've liked that didn't ring my danger bells.
Oh, I can be dangerous.
Oh, yeah.
Mmm! (LAUGHS) No, I LIKE that you 're not ringing those bells.
Ahh.
Yep.
That whole 'danger' thing, that used to really turn me on, you know? My husband had it.
Maybe it's 'cause when I met him, he was a drug dealer.
Not bad drugs.
He was cool.
A lot of people wanted to be his friend.
He had this amazing mane of hair.
God, I so know he's been reincarnated into a lion and is living in Africa somewhere.
Oh, right, OK.
Now you 're thinking, "She sounds really stupid.
" No! But if you 'd seen him, you 'd know.
'Cause But you can't now, 'cause he's I just meant that he was a mental case and you 're not.
Yeah, this is a pretty weird conversation.
I just meant that you 're a nice guy and, you know, he Mmm.
Mmm! OK.
Oh, God, I look terrible, don't I? You 're fine! I might get you to take a look at my eyebrows.
I think they're making me look old ish.
OK! I heard you had a few fans waiting for you after the show yesterday.
Yeah.
That was fabulous.
Actually, could you pass me my phone? Thanks.
(PHONE RINGS) NAT: Hi, it's me.

(WHISPERS) Sorry.
Was that you last night? (CAR APPROACHES) Hello, can I have some help? What? I have to pee.
Ophelia! (PHONE RINGS) (PHONE STILL RINGING) (FANS CHATTER EX CITEDLY) Hi, darling.
I'm sorry for what's about to happen.

Is that yours? Oh, thank you so much.
Keep watching, OK? Thank you! 'Bye! Should we go feed the ducks? (LAUGHS) What are we, three? Don't you wanna feel like a child without any worries? I think you should tell me what's wrong.
I lied about my ear.
Everyone told me I had a problem, so I just pretended to.
So it's OK? Oh! Well, I lied about loads of stuff when I was your age.
Yeah, but this is bad, Nat.
I've done a lot worse.
Do you think I have an addictive personality? Because you lied? No.
Then what do you think you 're addicted to? I've been smoking a lot of weed.
Oh! It's not funny.
It's really bad, you know? I can't stop thinking about it.
Oh.
Um, look, it's A little bit of weed's not gonna kill you.
Don't go near hydroponics, 'cause that fucks you up.
You don't have an addictive personality.
(SIGHS) Dad! Hey! You OK? Yeah.
Yep.
(DOOR OPENS) I've got some great news.
(FOOTSTEPS APPROACH) Where have you been? (GRUNTS DRUNKENLY) (SIGHS) I've been offered a job in Singapore.
What, and so you couldn't come home? It's the start of a new life, an adventure for the family.
Is that a joke? Nope.
Why would we move there? 'Cause I've been offered a job.
Uh, so? Don't be disrespectful.
I'm not being disrespectful, I just don't understand why we have to go, because What is there to understand? We're going.
(MUTTERS) I think I'll take a bath.
Oh, that's nice.
That's really supportive.
I mean, you don't even wanna know why we're going to Singapore? I don't wanna talk to you when you 're drunk.
(LAUGHS) I'm not bloody drunk.
Well, what if I am? I was pushed out of the party today.
Oh, Tim.
You stood on the steps of parliament and you blew your mouth off to a journalist.
What did you think was gonna happen? I didn't expect this.
No.
Never did expect consequences.
That's the story of your life.
(FOOTSTEPS) What's that? Vodka.
I thought you weren't drinking.
It's not for me.
I don't want it.
Drink some.
I thought when he died, "At least I don't have to go through all this shit again.
" I could let it all go.
Love him again.
But I can't! You knew he was a snake before you let him in, Ally.
Have another sip.
You 're a genuinely good person, Ally.
(SIGHS) You 've got heart.
Being here with you and your kids This is the first time in a very, very long time that I've found something I don't wanna walk away from.
I know that's not enough.
Can you hold me? Tangle S02E04 - Fallout

Sorry.
Sorry.
That's alright.
We're pretty much finished up here.
OK, Max, you can take the headphones off now.
Would you mind to just pop outside for a couple of minutes while I have a quick chat with Mum? So Max's hearing's pretty good.
You mean the other ear? (PHONE RINGS) Do you need to take it? No, no.
Sorry.
So do you think the hearing aid's gonna work? Max doesn't need a hearing aid.
Oh, sorry, I don't understand - we were told that he had some damage to his auditory nerve.
Mmm, but it's minimal.
He could've gone to a few rock concerts and ended up with a similar result.
What, he's faking not hearing? It happens with kids.
Sometimes something like this happens.
They find they like the attention it gives them.
We need to talk.
I know! I'm sorry, I didn't I couldn't hear properly at first, and then it sorta came back.
But by that stage, Dad had already done the press conference, and What? Are you saying that it's our fault? No, I Listen, Max Do you need to see a therapist? Can we do this part later? I need to get back to school.
Oh, this isn't over, Max.
This isn't over.
How was your lunch? You know I'm very fond of Timmy, don't you? But you were right about him.
His gaffe this morning certainly shines the light in your direction, doesn't it? Go talk to him.
Make him feel good about taking that job in Singapore.
I need some Quick-Eze.
Get rid of that indigestion I got at lunch.
Tim, look, uh Come to gloat? No.
You think I can't see right through you? Tim, you stuffed up this morning.
And you 're bloody lucky at least Billy's giving you an opportunity to Don't talk to me about opportunity, after you sold me out! I mean, be honest with yourself - you 're not made for this shit.
You 're too honest.
You get flattered too easily.

Well, then maybe you can tell me why $50,000 is supposed to go to Tanya Hicks.
(SIGHS) He had a debt he needed to repay? Do you know who she is? How long have you known for? I found out because of the will.
Huh! That's a lie.
Why would I lie about that? You don't expect me to believe you, do you? Then why are you here? Tell me the truth! I am! Look, you can't hold me responsible I'm not blaming you for this, I just wanna know! Look, if you 'd looked at the will, you would have found out the same time I did.
But you didn't wanna know about anything.
Look, I'll find her for you, OK? Is everything OK? Yeah.
(SIGHS) I don't want you to find her.
Hi.
Hi.
This is about Tim? Um, well, we may as well talk in my office.
OK.
Do you want to take a seat? I heard what he said.
Yeah.
It's not why I'm here.
You hang my husband out to dry and you come here to pay me a visit? I wanted to see you.
At my work? Christine, this is about you and me.
Do you want me to leave? No.
Does your door have a lock on it? Yes.
(WHISPERS) This is my office.
I thought you liked taking risks.
I can't, sorry.
I can't.
I can't do this, sorry.
I just I really haven't done anything like this before, and and this is my office! I, um Oh.
OK.
(SIGHS) ROMEO: So when do you get your hearing aid? MAX: Can we not talk about it? I love not talking about shit.
Who's she? CHARLOTTE: She goes to my school.
Olivia's been hanging out with her heaps.
You think she's hot? No, she just looks new.
You 're so full of shit.
Hey! Hey.
I'm, uh, Romeo.
And this here's Max.
He's got a bit of a hearing problem, so you 'll have to speak up a bit.

Well, what do you think, Joe? What's the money for? Rent.
How long are you gonna stay here, Joe? Nat! Not gonna stay a day longer than you.
Is that right?! You can stay as long as you like.
Now, can both of you get out? Ally! I said BOTH of you.
(BOTTLE SCRAPES) Truth or dare.
Truth.
Are you attracted to anyone in this room? Nuh.
Come on.
Oh, come on, come on! That was a lame question.
Truth or dare? Dare.
OK.
I dare you to kiss Max.
Come on, that's totally lame.
Oh, would you rather kiss me? No.
No? Well, are you in or are you out? Tongues.
(LAUGHS) Can you just chill, Romeo? I'm just trying to help.
(DOOR OPENS) MAN: What are you people doing here? You 're not supposed to be in here! GIRL: Quick! C'mon, get out of here now before I call your schools.
You 're very polite.
What, you don't like that? No, it's very sweet.
It's just strange in someone so young.
Ah.
We're not gonna bring up the young thing again, are we? No! I like you being young.
(BOTH LAUGH) My father was obsessed with good manners.
Really? Surprising, I know, when you think of his business acumen.
Are you close? That's a no-go zone.
Oh, right.
Sorry, that's bad manners of me.
Sorry.
(BOTH LAUGH) Shall we order? Um, a glass of champagne? Why not? Or two! TV: And remember that voting opens from midnight tonight and that every time you vote Margarita's still better.
Pizza needs meat.
And beer.
Nuh.
Coke.
(LAUGHS) Maybe when you 're older, you 'll appreciate the beer.
Now, there's an old saying - "Laugh and the world laughs with you.
"Cry and you 're going to need to blow your nose.
" Oh, she stole that from me! I said that the other day.
(ACCORDION MUSIC PLAYS ON TV) Are you gifted at anything? I have really double-jointed thumbs.
That's about it.
You? I can see colours.
As in, you 're colourblind? No - around people.
How do you mean? Well, it's kinda hard to explain.
But it's kind of like a magic eye.
When I look at someone long enough and squint a bit, suddenly a colour comes up.
Do I have a colour? Yeah.
It's kind of yellowy.
Mustardy yellow.
I gotta go.
Who was that? Have you got a boyfriend? No.
Bullshit! You 've got a little secret going on.
What if I press 'redial'? Get lost.
I'm trying to watch Nat.
Mmm, that's what I thought.
(SINGSONGS) Gigi's got a secret! Gigi's got a secret! Get lost! Good one.
(KNOCK AT DOOR) (DOOR OPENS) Yes.
Max have you heard from Dad? No.
Hang on a sec, Romeo.
I just wanna finish that conversation with you.
Oh, it's it's Romeo.
He's really cut up.
Yeah, sorry.
It's just Mum.
Yeah, I wouldn't worry about her, you know? If someone said that to me, I would just, you know I would ignore them, but Yeah, I know.
Huh? (DOOR CLOSES) Yeah, course it is! (PHONE RINGS) Oh, God.
I'm sorry.
I'm sorry.
It's just I'm worried about my sister.
She's got a recent dead husband.
(REJECTS CALL) Oh, don't go there.
(CHUCKLES) So is that really bad manners in your little book - answering a call? Well, I've turned mine off.
Really? Of course.
I don't believe you.
(PHONE RINGS) You 've got it vibrating on you somewhere.
You wanna pat me down? Are you flirting with me? (PHONE RINGS) I'm sorry.
I'm sorry about my bad manners.
Tim.
Nat.
Are you OK? I really need to see you.
Um, OK.
I could have lunch with you tomorrow.
Uh, no.
Now? Well, I can't.
Please? Sorry? I'm going to the Hilton.
It'd be really good if you could be there.
Upset ex-boyfriend? Um It's the father of my child.
I'm really, really sorry, but l'm gonna have to go and see him.
I hope you understand.
Come on.
I'll drive you.
You know, I could call you if you want.
Maybe we could hook up for a drink in a couple of hours.
I think it's great that you 're such a good friend.
I really like that.
I just hope it's not the end for us.
Wow.
You 're not bad for a kid.
OK, um alright, stop or I'm not gonna get out of here.
OK, um (CHUCKLES) (KNOCK AT DOOR) Hi.
OK.
What's going on? I thought we might run away together.
Where to? Singapore.
(LAUGHS) S Sorry, I I can't live in Singapore.
Not sure I can either.
What about Paris? (SIGHS) So, would you run away with me? Need more information.
(CHUCKLES) I was told today that I'm being moved to Singapore.
They're pushing you out of the country? Well, they're trying to.
You 're not gonna go? (SIGHS) Um, I'm really flattered that you 've called me, but, um, why aren't you at home with Christine? I haven't told her yet.
Because? OK.
Um, I need to know I need to know what's really going on.
(SIGHS) I don't know if it was the lead-up to the vote or before or it's her job or I've just dropped the ball, but she's just not there anymore.
Right.
And I found some condoms in a cupboard in our bedroom.
She probably bought those for Max.
That's probably why they're in a cupboard.
She's just so She's so cold and erratic.
So you lost your job AND your wife? That's a bad day.
You really don't want to be with me, do you? I don't honestly think that you and me fucking is what you need right now.
We could spoon.
(ENDS CALL) Hey! 'South Park' was on.
(DOOR CLOSES SOFTLY) Dad? Did you sleep? (SIGHS) Not much.
Did you figure anything out? I'd be really sad if you take Max.
I have to save my marriage.
(RINGING TONE) TIM: You 've reached Tim Williams.
I'm unavailable, so please leave your name and a brief message.
(BEEP!) You need to tell me where you are.
Hey.
Hey.
It's nice here with you.
You know, you are the first guy I've liked that didn't ring my danger bells.
Oh, I can be dangerous.
Oh, yeah.
Mmm! (LAUGHS) No, I LIKE that you 're not ringing those bells.
Ahh.
Yep.
That whole 'danger' thing, that used to really turn me on, you know? My husband had it.
Maybe it's 'cause when I met him, he was a drug dealer.
Not bad drugs.
He was cool.
A lot of people wanted to be his friend.
He had this amazing mane of hair.
God, I so know he's been reincarnated into a lion and is living in Africa somewhere.
Oh, right, OK.
Now you 're thinking, "She sounds really stupid.
" No! But if you 'd seen him, you 'd know.
'Cause But you can't now, 'cause he's I just meant that he was a mental case and you 're not.
Yeah, this is a pretty weird conversation.
I just meant that you 're a nice guy and, you know, he Mmm.
Mmm! OK.
Oh, God, I look terrible, don't I? You 're fine! I might get you to take a look at my eyebrows.
I think they're making me look old ish.

Keep watching, OK? Thank you! 'Bye! Should we go feed the ducks? (LAUGHS) What are we, three? Don't you wanna feel like a child without any worries? I think you should tell me what's wrong.
I lied about my ear.
Everyone told me I had a problem, so I just pretended to.
So it's OK? Oh! Well, I lied about loads of stuff when I was your age.
Yeah, but this is bad, Nat.
I've done a lot worse.
Do you think I have an addictive personality? Because you lied? No.
Then what do you think you 're addicted to? I've been smoking a lot of weed.
Oh! It's not funny.
It's really bad, you know? I can't stop thinking about it.
Oh.
Um, look, it's A little bit of weed's not gonna kill you.
Don't go near hydroponics, 'cause that fucks you up.
You don't have an addictive personality.

Yep.
(DOOR OPENS) I've got some great news.
(FOOTSTEPS APPROACH) Where have you been? (GRUNTS DRUNKENLY) (SIGHS) I've been offered a job in Singapore.
What, and so you couldn't come home? It's the start of a new life, an adventure for the family.
Is that a joke? Nope.
Why would we move there? 'Cause I've been offered a job.
Uh, so? Don't be disrespectful.
I'm not being disrespectful, I just don't understand why we have to go, because What is there to understand? We're going.
(MUTTERS) I think I'll take a bath.
Oh, that's nice.
That's really supportive.
I mean, you don't even wanna know why we're going to Singapore? I don't wanna talk to you when you 're drunk.
(LAUGHS) I'm not bloody drunk.
Well, what if I am? I was pushed out of the party today.
Oh, Tim.
You stood on the steps of parliament and you blew your mouth off to a journalist.
What did you think was gonna happen? I didn't expect this.
No.
Never did expect consequences.
That's the story of your life.
(FOOTSTEPS) What's that? Vodka.
I thought you weren't drinking.
It's not for me.
I don't want it.
Drink some.
I thought when he died, "At least I don't have to go through all this shit again.
" I could let it all go.
Love him again.
But I can't! You knew he was a snake before you let him in, Ally.
Have another sip.
You 're a genuinely good person, Ally.
(SIGHS) You 've got heart.
Being here with you and your kids This is the first time in a very, very long time that I've found something I don't wanna walk away from.
I know that's not enough.
