Squinters (2018) s02e06 Episode Script
Take a Back Road
1 Hey, K2 crew, you're not gonna die! Well, I mean, you will eventually, but not from our asbestos.
Send.
I'm not gonna die! And there's a 43% chance I'm gonna be a dad, but with Gav's jizz, and the eggs of some bird I've never even banged or seen.
Life's pretty good, eh? I was the Christmas party photographer last year, and I gotta say, these pics are radioactive.
If, God forbid, you die of mesothelioma, I will tell our child every day what an amazing woman her mother was.
Even if I'm a casual racist.
Ex-casual racist.
Mum gave Alison power of attorney over Mum's will, while Mum had questionable mental competency.
What it means is we have a strong case to remove her as executor.
You did it, Rach.
We're gonna get our bloody cha-ching! I've just met with the board.
Obviously they're not happy that you elected to tell the staff about the asbestos without proper authorisation.
So we're terminating your contract.
I'm fired? Dear K2 staff.
This is disgruntled K2 employee here asking you to join me for a sit in protest at the warehouse.
My plan is to shut down the distribution plant until the big wigs in the States agree to give Tina her job back.
Well, I like disgruntled K2 employee.
Yeah, see I thought a bit of mystique was nice.
Yeah, except you signed it off, "Cheers, Brett.
" Fuck.
Yeah.
You know, I hope you're not doing this because you think we're in a relationship, because I couldn't have been more clear that it's casual.
And if I'm being completely honest, there was some sympathy thrown in with the sex.
What? Yeah.
You (LAUGHS) You thought you were sympathy shagging me? You couldn't tell? I mean, I even did the sympathy sex face.
I was even saying, "I'm so sorry.
"I feel so sorry for you.
"Oh, I hope this helps.
I hope this helps.
" Were you even looking at my face? Oh.
SONG: Let's go! What you waitin' for? Your prayers are already answered Do you really want it? Ain't got no time to waste - Let's go - Green light Step on the gas, don't let no-one past Put some pep in your step Follow me this way Red light, green light Red light, green light Red light, green light, go! Do you wanna go, go, go? I'm-a, I'm-a run this show Red light Do you wanna go? Green light - Do you wanna? - Do you wanna go? So Christmas morning at your mum, my dad's? No Christmas morning at my mum and your dad's, and then Christmas afternoon at my dad and your mum's.
This whole parent swapping thing has been traumatic, and a little bit disgusting.
Yeah, but at least there's a chance we'll be sisters by the end of it.
Oh.
Not that it'd make much difference anyway.
I tell you all my deepest secrets.
And I borrow all your favourite tops, and then, like, sneak them into your closet smelling like 3am.
What? But at least when we're officially sisters, right, I can be, like, really rude to you, and then not apologise afterwards.
You're rude to me now, and don't apologise afterwards.
Yeah, but now I still feel a little bit guilty about it.
I can't imagine you feeling guilty about anything.
I know, it's a bit of a paradox, isn't it? Oh, don't think it's maybe a paradox at all.
I think it is.
That's no, definitely not the meaning.
You just live your life moment to moment, not caring about your actions, consequences, or the repercussions of how any of it might affect anyone.
Yeah.
I guess I am truly free.
Meanwhile I can't stop obsessing over that stupid job interview I had yesterday.
Hey, it's not stupid! You're stupid! 'Cause you're gonna make the perfect marketing director, Romi.
It's super sexist they didn't offer it to you in the first place.
Thank you.
You know, I look up to you.
You're the kind of person I want to be.
And so saying that, I've decided I'm gonna start folding my underwear, clean underwear.
Stop wearing your underwear, obviously.
And, most importantly, I'm gonna pay the debt collectors back in full.
I am so proud of you, Talia.
And I want you to know that that you've brought a lot of happiness into my life.
I wouldn't have been emotionally stable enough to go for such a big job if it weren't for you.
Oh, babe.
Babe.
Can I borrow some money? Just don't know how you guys can ever forgive me.
Oh, it's OK.
How were you meant to know about Mum's condition? I mean, none of us knew.
I mean, she's already, like, er.
I honestly, I honestly thought that she wanted to keep you from squandering your money.
I just, I don't know.
I hope you'll forgive me.
It's OK.
Yeah.
We know what you did came from a good place, it's OK.
It's made me think about what's really important, though.
Like you, Lukas, doing this staff sit-in to save your boss.
Mmm.
You know, even though it's bound to fail, and could drag on for days.
- Weeks, even.
- There you go.
Oh, it's not gonna bloody drag on for weeks.
It could.
Really? I've only got what I'm wearing, that's it.
I haven't even got a pillow or undies.
What if I need undies? I'm just glad this whole silly ordeal is over so we can just split the inheritance three ways, - and get on with our lives.
- Amen.
Yeah, I don't think so, Rachel.
Oh, there we go.
Here we go, snaky bloody aunty Al.
- No, I think - No, I know what you're doing.
You two should take the lot.
What? Merry Christmas.
It's a new deed.
Gives everything in your Mum's will to you two.
But you're an arsehole.
But am I? I mean, you know, perhaps even arseholes have a heart.
Alright.
Anyway, my point is, look, I know I've been blessed.
You know, I'm very privileged.
I I mean, take this trip, for example.
Have I told you about the trip? Some of the tours I'm going on.
There's a midnight tour in the Louvre - Yeah.
- .
.
where they're taking just me.
- It's sort of a solo thing.
- Yeah, I've heard.
And then one of the things I'm doing in the South of France which is gonna be fun - is that I choose a grape blend - Blend.
Yeah, yeah.
- You know about this? - You've told us.
And the, well, they name the wine after me.
- I know.
- Oh, I know what I haven't told you.
- The pasta making workshop in Italy.
- Oh, God.
You've told us a hundred times! We know! Great! Life's so great for Aunty Alison.
She's got all the money, she Bloody tours and private pasta courses.
Oh, sorry, pass the deed back, Rachel.
I'll tear it up! No, I'm not saying that.
I'm not.
OK, I'm sorry.
I'm sorry.
I didn't mean that.
Oh, did I tell you, in Spain - they're gonna let me kill a bull - Kill a bull.
Yeah.
I told you that, did I? - Yeah.
- I mean, I don't even want to.
Christ, I'm a vegetarian.
Oh, well.
I've paid for it.
You got a box for day 1.
Oh, nice one, buddy.
(LAUGHS) Yeah, yeah.
Well, just try and stay off the hard stuff until the final session.
I don't want to have to come and collect you from emergency again.
Nah, no, I won't be joining you, mate.
I've just got different priorities at the moment.
Yeah, OK, well, I'm sorry you feel that way, mate.
Yeah, alright then.
OK.
Merry Christmas and get fucked to you too, buddy.
Bye-bye.
How is your Mum? Haha! Nah, that's Jackson.
He's 43, and he still hasn't grown up.
How old were you when you grew up? If you haven't grown up by the time you're 41, then God help you.
I mean, Jackson's carrying on like a 40 year old.
(SIGHS) You right, babe? I don't know.
It's just that we've gone to all this trouble to have a baby, but if we do have a baby, we'll be really old parents.
We're gonna have to put up with a lot of shit.
Yeah, I know.
I did the maths.
I'm 41, so at our kid's 21st, I'm gonna be 65.
Whatever you do, don't entertain the party goers with a removable thumb joke.
What? The removable thumb routine's timeless.
What are you talking about? Yeah, right up there with 'pull my finger'.
That's not even the same thing! It's a completely different genre.
People are gonna look at us and think that we're babysitting someone else's grandchildren.
Mmm, well, people are dicks.
Yeah.
Stuff them.
My bald, sleepy Kiwi kids that I waited too long to have and that I'm in no way biologically linked to are gonna love the shit out of me.
Everybody already loves the shit out of you, babe.
Old, young, child, no child.
Oh, thanks, babe.
Especially after you've cooked lasagne.
The beef one.
Not vegetarian.
I know, babe.
It's a mistake I won't make again.
Yeah, I can forgive ya.
But I can never forget.
So, Mia, what are you grateful for? Um, I'm grateful for every conversation that doesn't start with "How is uni going?" or, um, "Are you in a relationship?" or "Are you a lesbian?" - Your Mum told me to ask you that.
- Hmm.
You should be grateful you have a mum cool enough to know what a lesbian is.
Oh, I'm grateful I can block both of you on Facebook and Instagram, so I don't have to see your sad little selfies.
You should be grateful you have a mum cool enough to know what a selfie is.
So what are you grateful for, Bridge? I'm grateful for civil disobedience.
Means I get to spend a day at work sitting in a locked warehouse doing bugger all.
Ooh.
I'm grateful I have a hot driver's licence photo this year.
Last time I looked like Fergie.
You wish.
Not that Fergie.
Toe sucking Fergie.
Hey, Bridge, it says your date of birth here is 1970 Oh, that's a typo.
Need to get that fixed.
- No, it's - I'm grateful for the word 'nothing'.
I love it when Gary asks me what's wrong, and all I have to say is nothing, and he knows he's in trouble.
I'm grateful for being adopted.
You were adopted.
They gave you back.
Go on, Gary.
What are you grateful for? Well, I'm grateful for toilet paper, food, Gordon Greenidge, Desmond Haynes, Viv Richards, and I'm also grateful for the opportunity to ask Bridget to marry me.
Bridget, will you marry me? Oh, my God.
Bridge? Of course I will.
Yes! Yes! Oh! With a ring.
Oh.
Oh, my God, you're still married to Dad.
As soon as I get that sorted.
Of course! Yeah! Oh, Bridget, Bridget! Mmm.
Let's go! It's 9am and a week out till Christmas, which means you only have to hear that Mariah Carey song another 17 billion times.
It's time to go, let's go.
It's Christmas eve, and K2 employees are on their way home after their warehouse sit-in, and men everywhere are about to start shopping.
When I get home, the first thing I'm doing is having a nap in an actual bed.
Second thing.
Right after you shower.
Oh.
We eventually ran out of wet wipes.
I literally cried.
Then I used my own tears to wash myself.
Now I smell like misery.
- So Gary - Dad.
Dad.
Who do I give way to on a roundabout? You give way to whoever is actually on the roundabout.
Holy shit, what's got in to you two? Gary I mean I mean, Dad, it's actually been really great the last six days.
- I mean, he taught me how to drive.
- Mmm.
Taught me how to cook a steak.
Fart and not apologise.
Fart and not apologise.
I think this might be the happiest day of my life.
Oh, Bridgey, Bridgey.
And I'm beyond excited to be getting married as soon as I get divorced from your actual father.
Oh.
Mmm.
And driven to the hospital because my waters have broken.
So it turns out, I won't be needing that loan.
Oh, great.
Can you check my phone for texts? I'm waiting to hear about the marketing director job.
That's weird they haven't got back to you.
I mean, the interview went well, right? Yeah, I think they liked me.
Well, they liked what I did as acting marketing director.
So why don't you need the loan? - Oh, ah, well, so - (PHONE CHIMES) Shit, that could be them.
Um, can you read it out to me? Oh, sure.
OK.
"Hey Romi, sorry it's taken so long to get back to you, "but congrats, you're gonna make a remarkable marketing director.
"We can't wait to have you on board"! - Oh, my God! - Oh, my God! - I'm so relieved! - Yes! Oh, my God, I am so upgrading my living situation, and you are coming with me.
OK, before you do, though, um, yeah.
So this is gonna is gonna is gonna kill you.
Um, I've actually been appointed marketing coordinator.
- Ha! Marketing coordinator? - Yeah.
But you don't have any marketing experience whatsoever.
I originally went in for quality assurance associate, but then, like, HR were being a bit noncommittal, and so then I whipped out a couple of these, and, you know, suddenly marketing coordinator was bandied around, and I'm so sorry, babe.
Talia.
I'm gonna be your boss now, so it's gonna be so hard - on our friendship - Talia I'm gonna be breathing down your neck, and you're gonna develop some sort of unhealthy inferiority complex No, Talia.
Marketing director totally trumps marketing coordinator.
Nuh-uh.
You are so, so beneath me it's not even it's not even funny.
No, so marketing coordinator coordinates things.
What does a director do? Directs the coordinator to run off and coordinate whatever he or she has directed.
Like, I could get you to go get me coffees or do my laundry if I wanted just like that.
- Not that I will, but I could.
- Are you sure? A hundred percent.
- We'll be sharing - Don't touch me.
Sorry.
We'll be sharing an office, and together we'll be steering the marketing direction of Australia's third biggest distribution company.
It's pretty good.
Oh, I forgot to tell you, I broke up with Guy.
Oh, my God, tell me fucking everything.
And after six days of protest we realised the intense loyalty you had engendered in your staff, and so the board has gladly decided to re-instate you as CEO.
PS, no hard feelings.
Please don't sue the shit out of us.
You know.
It's official! OK, eyes on the road.
Come on, hands, eyes, you're driving.
I mean, obviously the staff is not that loyal.
They just enjoyed, you know, not working for a few days.
Maybe, but it did not hurt having the media on side.
Have you read some of these headlines? Let me see.
Thanks.
"It's not OK2.
" (LAUGHS) "K2 in PR KO.
" Punchy.
"A company so evil, they actually fired their childless female CEO "after she alerted staff to a deadly asbestos situation "that threatened their lives.
" Daily Mail.
- (SIGHS) - OK.
Well, I know it's only been seven days, but I'm pretty sure this is your place.
Do you want to come in? I don't know if I feel like being sympathy shagged, Tina.
Oh, no.
Well, do you want to just hold hands, or play Monopoly, or we could vacuum the floors? I don't I could read to you from the Bible.
You know what? I think a sympathy shag sounds OK to me.
Oh, good.
Speed it up, Mia.
I would, but it's double demerits.
If we don't get your mother to hospital she might die.
OK, are you sure you're not overstating the situation? For God's sake, Mia, give it some frigging gas before I sneeze this child out.
OK.
No, it's a 40K zone, I can't.
Sorry.
AAAAAAAAAAAARGH! Oooooh, money's gonna hit our account any minute now.
What are you gonna spend it on? I'm gonna be sensible, Rach.
I've got to be sensible.
I'm gonna put it somewhere I can't spend it.
Great.
I'm gonna completely turn my life around, I'm gonna put all the money into a website for my new small business.
It's what Mum would have wanted.
How do you know what Mum would have wanted? I mean, like, you guys, you know, not being rude, but you guys didn't really speak for the last decade before she died.
Yes, that is correct, but we've really patched things up now.
- Oh.
Have ya? Right.
- Yeah.
I'm in constant communication with her, because I've learned how to be a spiritual conduit, and I'm communing with her in the afterlife.
Right, OK.
Has this got anything to do with the small business - you've just started? - Yes, that is the small business.
Right, OK.
I'm sorry.
I'm sick of this.
It's always something like this.
Sick of what? Just you and your bloody flippant bloody Just get a normal job.
This is not a job.
Where did you learn to be a bloody spirit talker? From a woman in Katoomba.
And actually Mum would appreciate it if you would support me a bit more.
Right, OK.
So you're talking to Mum right now, are you? Not right now, but now I am.
Oh, so, right, sorry, did the feed drop out? Or is she always is she always watching, is it? All knowing Mum, or she's there right now, is she? She's pretty much always watching, but you know, I have to sort of - Right.
- .
.
click in to talk to her, so yeah.
- OK.
Oh, well, tell her I say hi.
- Yeah.
She'd know that, though, wouldn't she? - (PHONE CHIMES) - Ooh.
Oh my God, oh my God, oh my God.
How much is it? Here we go.
Alright, alright, alright, alright.
Hang on, hang on.
OK, I'm watching the road.
I'm watching the road.
I'm just gonna look down for a little bit.
OK, have a look.
$2,700.
$2,700.
Ha-ha-ha, very funny.
How much is it? It's $2,700.
Look.
$2,700! Oh! - Mum says she's really sorry - Tell Mum to fuck off! If this doesn't work out, we can always try again.
I can't ask Talia again, and besides, we couldn't afford another cycle.
It's weird.
I just always saw myself being a mum.
Well, you still may make a very beautiful mum.
And I still may make a very mediocre dad.
I guess the benefits of it not working out is that we'll never have to wipe poo from anyone else's arse but our own.
And I can still swear as much as I want.
And I'll only have to clean up your vomit, plus no sore nipples from breast feeding.
Yeah, and no bedtime stories means I'll never have to read a fuckin' book again.
And I won't have to wear gym gear 24/7.
I can still vacuum in the nude! I never signed off on that.
And I don't have to see the Wiggles.
And we'll still be able to have sex with my intact vagina.
Whoo-hoo! Never thought about that one.
Yeah.
(PHONE RINGS) - Hello.
- Hi, is this Jess? - Yep.
- Hi Jess, it's Emily from Sydney IVF.
- Is this a good time to talk? - Yes.

Babe, does this mean the wanking ban's over? Yeah, baby, go nuts.

Doctor Benning is happy to talk to you about your options when she gets back from the Maldives.
OK? - Thanks.
- We're so sorry.
Oh, in the dark we could hide But we're human, we're human, so we fight And we can be higher than our hearts And I'll be a fighter by your side Oh, won't you come, won't you light all my lights Oh, won't you come Won't you fight all my fights Fight all my fights So long And we'll all be so strong We'll all be so strong.
BOTH: Noel, Noel Noel, Noel!
Send.
I'm not gonna die! And there's a 43% chance I'm gonna be a dad, but with Gav's jizz, and the eggs of some bird I've never even banged or seen.

It's just that we've gone to all this trouble to have a baby, but if we do have a baby, we'll be really old parents.
We're gonna have to put up with a lot of shit.
Yeah, I know.
I did the maths.
I'm 41, so at our kid's 21st, I'm gonna be 65.
Whatever you do, don't entertain the party goers with a removable thumb joke.
What? The removable thumb routine's timeless.
What are you talking about? Yeah, right up there with 'pull my finger'.
That's not even the same thing! It's a completely different genre.
People are gonna look at us and think that we're babysitting someone else's grandchildren.
Mmm, well, people are dicks.
Yeah.
Stuff them.
My bald, sleepy Kiwi kids that I waited too long to have and that I'm in no way biologically linked to are gonna love the shit out of me.
Everybody already loves the shit out of you, babe.
Old, young, child, no child.
Oh, thanks, babe.
Especially after you've cooked lasagne.
The beef one.
Not vegetarian.
I know, babe.
It's a mistake I won't make again.
Yeah, I can forgive ya.
But I can never forget.
So, Mia, what are you grateful for? Um, I'm grateful for every conversation that doesn't start with "How is uni going?" or, um, "Are you in a relationship?" or "Are you a lesbian?" - Your Mum told me to ask you that.
- Hmm.
You should be grateful you have a mum cool enough to know what a lesbian is.
Oh, I'm grateful I can block both of you on Facebook and Instagram, so I don't have to see your sad little selfies.
You should be grateful you have a mum cool enough to know what a selfie is.
So what are you grateful for, Bridge? I'm grateful for civil disobedience.
Means I get to spend a day at work sitting in a locked warehouse doing bugger all.
Ooh.
I'm grateful I have a hot driver's licence photo this year.
Last time I looked like Fergie.
You wish.
Not that Fergie.
Toe sucking Fergie.
Hey, Bridge, it says your date of birth here is 1970 Oh, that's a typo.
Need to get that fixed.
- No, it's - I'm grateful for the word 'nothing'.
I love it when Gary asks me what's wrong, and all I have to say is nothing, and he knows he's in trouble.
I'm grateful for being adopted.
You were adopted.
They gave you back.
Go on, Gary.
What are you grateful for? Well, I'm grateful for toilet paper, food, Gordon Greenidge, Desmond Haynes, Viv Richards, and I'm also grateful for the opportunity to ask Bridget to marry me.
Bridget, will you marry me? Oh, my God.
Bridge? Of course I will.
Yes! Yes! Oh! With a ring.
Oh.
Oh, my God, you're still married to Dad.
As soon as I get that sorted.
Of course! Yeah! Oh, Bridget, Bridget! Mmm.
Let's go! It's 9am and a week out till Christmas, which means you only have to hear that Mariah Carey song another 17 billion times.
It's time to go, let's go.
It's Christmas eve, and K2 employees are on their way home after their warehouse sit-in, and men everywhere are about to start shopping.
When I get home, the first thing I'm doing is having a nap in an actual bed.
Second thing.
Right after you shower.
Oh.
We eventually ran out of wet wipes.
I literally cried.
Then I used my own tears to wash myself.
Now I smell like misery.
- So Gary - Dad.
Dad.
Who do I give way to on a roundabout? You give way to whoever is actually on the roundabout.
Holy shit, what's got in to you two? Gary I mean I mean, Dad, it's actually been really great the last six days.
- I mean, he taught me how to drive.
- Mmm.
Taught me how to cook a steak.
Fart and not apologise.
Fart and not apologise.
I think this might be the happiest day of my life.
Oh, Bridgey, Bridgey.
And I'm beyond excited to be getting married as soon as I get divorced from your actual father.
Oh.
Mmm.
And driven to the hospital because my waters have broken.
So it turns out, I won't be needing that loan.
Oh, great.
Can you check my phone for texts? I'm waiting to hear about the marketing director job.
That's weird they haven't got back to you.
I mean, the interview went well, right? Yeah, I think they liked me.
Well, they liked what I did as acting marketing director.
So why don't you need the loan? - Oh, ah, well, so - (PHONE CHIMES) Shit, that could be them.
Um, can you read it out to me? Oh, sure.
OK.
"Hey Romi, sorry it's taken so long to get back to you, "but congrats, you're gonna make a remarkable marketing director.
"We can't wait to have you on board"! - Oh, my God! - Oh, my God! - I'm so relieved! - Yes! Oh, my God, I am so upgrading my living situation, and you are coming with me.
OK, before you do, though, um, yeah.
So this is gonna is gonna is gonna kill you.
Um, I've actually been appointed marketing coordinator.
- Ha! Marketing coordinator? - Yeah.
But you don't have any marketing experience whatsoever.
I originally went in for quality assurance associate, but then, like, HR were being a bit noncommittal, and so then I whipped out a couple of these, and, you know, suddenly marketing coordinator was bandied around, and I'm so sorry, babe.
Talia.
I'm gonna be your boss now, so it's gonna be so hard - on our friendship - Talia I'm gonna be breathing down your neck, and you're gonna develop some sort of unhealthy inferiority complex No, Talia.
Marketing director totally trumps marketing coordinator.
Nuh-uh.
You are so, so beneath me it's not even it's not even funny.
No, so marketing coordinator coordinates things.
What does a director do? Directs the coordinator to run off and coordinate whatever he or she has directed.
Like, I could get you to go get me coffees or do my laundry if I wanted just like that.
- Not that I will, but I could.
- Are you sure? A hundred percent.
- We'll be sharing - Don't touch me.
Sorry.
We'll be sharing an office, and together we'll be steering the marketing direction of Australia's third biggest distribution company.
It's pretty good.
Oh, I forgot to tell you, I broke up with Guy.
Oh, my God, tell me fucking everything.
And after six days of protest we realised the intense loyalty you had engendered in your staff, and so the board has gladly decided to re-instate you as CEO.
PS, no hard feelings.
Please don't sue the shit out of us.
You know.
It's official! OK, eyes on the road.
Come on, hands, eyes, you're driving.
I mean, obviously the staff is not that loyal.
They just enjoyed, you know, not working for a few days.
Maybe, but it did not hurt having the media on side.
Have you read some of these headlines? Let me see.
Thanks.
"It's not OK2.
" (LAUGHS) "K2 in PR KO.
" Punchy.
"A company so evil, they actually fired their childless female CEO "after she alerted staff to a deadly asbestos situation "that threatened their lives.
" Daily Mail.
- (SIGHS) - OK.
Well, I know it's only been seven days, but I'm pretty sure this is your place.
Do you want to come in? I don't know if I feel like being sympathy shagged, Tina.
Oh, no.
Well, do you want to just hold hands, or play Monopoly, or we could vacuum the floors? I don't I could read to you from the Bible.
You know what? I think a sympathy shag sounds OK to me.
Oh, good.
Speed it up, Mia.
I would, but it's double demerits.
If we don't get your mother to hospital she might die.
OK, are you sure you're not overstating the situation? For God's sake, Mia, give it some frigging gas before I sneeze this child out.
OK.
No, it's a 40K zone, I can't.
Sorry.
AAAAAAAAAAAARGH! Oooooh, money's gonna hit our account any minute now.
What are you gonna spend it on? I'm gonna be sensible, Rach.
I've got to be sensible.
I'm gonna put it somewhere I can't spend it.
Great.
I'm gonna completely turn my life around, I'm gonna put all the money into a website for my new small business.
It's what Mum would have wanted.
How do you know what Mum would have wanted? I mean, like, you guys, you know, not being rude, but you guys didn't really speak for the last decade before she died.
Yes, that is correct, but we've really patched things up now.
- Oh.
Have ya? Right.
- Yeah.
I'm in constant communication with her, because I've learned how to be a spiritual conduit, and I'm communing with her in the afterlife.
Right, OK.
Has this got anything to do with the small business - you've just started? - Yes, that is the small business.
Right, OK.
I'm sorry.
I'm sick of this.
It's always something like this.
Sick of what? Just you and your bloody flippant bloody Just get a normal job.
This is not a job.
Where did you learn to be a bloody spirit talker? From a woman in Katoomba.
And actually Mum would appreciate it if you would support me a bit more.
Right, OK.
So you're talking to Mum right now, are you? Not right now, but now I am.
Oh, so, right, sorry, did the feed drop out? Or is she always is she always watching, is it? All knowing Mum, or she's there right now, is she? She's pretty much always watching, but you know, I have to sort of - Right.
- .
.
click in to talk to her, so yeah.
- OK.
Oh, well, tell her I say hi.
- Yeah.
She'd know that, though, wouldn't she? - (PHONE CHIMES) - Ooh.
Oh my God, oh my God, oh my God.
How much is it? Here we go.
Alright, alright, alright, alright.
Hang on, hang on.
OK, I'm watching the road.
I'm watching the road.
I'm just gonna look down for a little bit.
OK, have a look.
$2,700.
$2,700.
Ha-ha-ha, very funny.
How much is it? It's $2,700.
Look.
$2,700! Oh! - Mum says she's really sorry - Tell Mum to fuck off! If this doesn't work out, we can always try again.
I can't ask Talia again, and besides, we couldn't afford another cycle.
It's weird.
I just always saw myself being a mum.
Well, you still may make a very beautiful mum.
And I still may make a very mediocre dad.
I guess the benefits of it not working out is that we'll never have to wipe poo from anyone else's arse but our own.
And I can still swear as much as I want.
And I'll only have to clean up your vomit, plus no sore nipples from breast feeding.
Yeah, and no bedtime stories means I'll never have to read a fuckin' book again.
And I won't have to wear gym gear 24/7.
I can still vacuum in the nude! I never signed off on that.
And I don't have to see the Wiggles.
And we'll still be able to have sex with my intact vagina.
Whoo-hoo! Never thought about that one.
Yeah.
