Mr Inbetween (2018) s02e06 Episode Script
Let Me Stop You There
1 Yeah, I started the hostility log thing - this week.
- How's that working out? Oh, yeah, good.
Yeah.
Um Had a bit of a situation Wednesday with somebody.
Yeah, it was just-just some guy eyeballing me at the pub.
But I was getting pretty pissed, and I used the stop technique, you know, we spoke about.
So, yeah.
It's I'm-I'm getting pretty good at it, - so that's good.
- Great.
Um Ray, how have you been? Yeah, good, mate.
- Yeah? - Yep.
Is there anything you want to talk about? Nah, I'm good.
Are you sure? Nothing at all? I beat my, uh, girlfriend's brother up over Christmas.
Okay.
Um What happened? I went round to her parents' place, and, um Yeah, we did the whole, uh, Secret Santa thing.
Me daughter got this unicorn candle, which she was pretty chuffed about, and, uh, me girlfriend's brother decided he wanted it, and when it was his turn, he, uh, took it off her.
So you assaulted him? Well, he was being a dickhead, so, - you know.
- So you assaulted him? Eh, pretty much.
And how did your girlfriend feel about this? Well, she's not my girlfriend anymore, so Shit.
- Sorry, mate.
- Mm.
I mean, uh, you know, without wanting to state the obvious, can you see how violence is perhaps not the best way for you to resolve your disputes? No, I think it generally is.
But, you know, just don't do it in front of your girlfriend, you know? Uh, what's great about it? I mean, it doesn't seem to have worked - for you this time.
- Yeah, well, sometimes it does, sometimes it doesn't, you know? Can you give me one example of violence ever working? World War II.
- World War II.
- Mm-hmm.
We didn't beat the Nazis just by talking to them.
We used violence.
Okay, sure.
So every now and then, violence is necessary as a last resort.
But for you, uh, with your girlfriend's brother, I mean, would you call that an example of violence working? Yeah, look, I shouldn't have done what I did.
You know, I'm not making excuses.
But I don't think you can say that all violence is bad.
I mean, I think there's good violence and bad violence.
What's good violence? World War II.
Thanks, Vince.
Um - Yeah.
- Uh, all right, maybe it's about time.
Maybe we should leave it there.
Thank you, everyone.
Thank you.
German forces had already moved in and now occupied the abbey ruins in force.
Here you go, mate.
You can have the fatty bit.
- Mate, you didn't even chew that.
- Meanwhile, in the town below, the 28th Maori battalion had led a successful attack on the casino railway station, only to then become trapped and cut off from their support across the river.
Cheers, love.

- Are you gonna clean it up, or - So? You're just gonna leave it for somebody else - to stand in, are you? - Well, if it bothers you so much why don't you pick it up? Why don't you fucking pick it up? Oh, okay.
Yeah.
Nah, it's been good.
I mean, - it's still early days, but - Mm.
Fuck, last night, we're lying in bed and she says to me, "Who have you had the best sex of your life with?" And I'm lying there thinking, "Fuck, how do I answer this?" - Mm.
- You know? Because she's not the bird I've had the hottest sex with, but I can't tell her the best sex I ever had was with some 52-year-old hooker - in an alley, you know? - Mm.
So I have to say something, and fast - Mm.
- so I say "You!" Uh, but because I took a second to answer, she's like, "Why'd you have to think about it?" I said, "I don't know, the question kind of took me by surprise.
" I tell you, mate, women can ask questions that scare the shit out of you.
Mm, mm, true.
- So who is this dude, anyway? - Who? - This guy.
- Oh, Simon Gillespie.
You know the Gillespies.
- The mining family? - Yeah.
Oh, okay.
And what's his problem? He's been having some lady trouble.
Oh, okay.
Hey.
Uh, Simon's here.
- Do you want to see him now? - Yeah, yeah.
Bring him in.
Thanks, Mandy.
- You're good.

Uh, Simon, this is Ray.
- Hi, Ray.
- How you going, mate? - Uh yeah.
Yeah, thanks.
- Uh, take a seat.
Um, right.
Why don't you, uh, - tell Ray your story, mate? - Straight down to business, right? - Yes.
Yeah.
- Okay, well, uh, I was seeing this young lady for about a year or so.
It was-it was, you know, it was nothing too serious, I guess, from my perspective anyway.
And so, I, uh, stopped seeing her a few weeks ago, and and now she's threatening to tell my wife.
And, uh, she's threatening, if I don't pay her a shitload of cash, she's gonna talk.
- And how much is she asking for? - Uh, two million.
- Ooh, shit.
- Yeah, yeah.
The fucking And I told her I don't have that kind of money.
She won't listen to reason, all right? And she-she also said she's gonna go to the press and tell them all sorts of shit about me, - and none of that's true, okay? - Mm.
'Cause with my public profile, I-I just I can't have that.
- Right? - No.
So, she's just, like, being, um, just totally off her head, you know? So what do you want me to do, mate? Uh, well, you-you know.
No, I don't.
Well, I want I want you to take care of her.
- Oh, okay.
- Yeah.
Yeah.
So what you reckon? Yeah, I'll have a think about it.
- Have a think about it? - Uh, okay.
So next next week or a few days, or - Yeah, a couple of days.
- Oh.

Great.
Now this one here, I've got a bet each way, 'cause that that means if it comes first I'll win a lot of money.
If it comes second or third, I'll win a little bit of money.
If it doesn't win at all, I don't get anything, but that never happens to me, unless I'm having a bad week.
