Wonderland (2013) s02e07 Episode Script

Narcissism

It is never gonna happen with my sister, OK? Never.
What are you talking about, dude? Steve did interfere with you guys.
We made a bet.
If Tom sleeps with you, he loses the car.
OK? Tom just built this wall around his heart so that no-one else could get in, until Maggie? Yeah, I was trying to work out if she was trying to warn me or encourage me.
I miss Rob.
Maybe we should just call things off.
I stuffed up.
I probably would have given the same advice.
We won't let this bastard get one cent from us.
How was the sex? It was nice.
Oh, nice? I can't stop thinking about him which is why I was at the bar tonight.
Moving on? Hoping someone else will cure me.
You you want to hear that I had wild sex? Well, it's about time, isn't it? Miranda's guy from last night.
Is his name Carlos? Is it someone that I know? Why? I just think you're making some pretty interesting choices.
Miranda? Claire? From the Tratt.
Yeah, I'm running late for a shift actually, so I'll see you later.
I'll get your usual ready for you.
Pfff Well Yeah, you must be tired.
Yeah.
It's been a big week for you Tom.
It's nice to see you at home.
What's that supposed to mean? Well, you're clearly on some childish ego trip.
OK.
Your phone's been running off the hook and it's like you're making up for lost time.
Oh, yeah? And none of your "new friends" seem to be asked on a second date.
It's kind of despicable.
Actually, I'm going on a second date tonight.
It's FAT Night tonight.
We're going afterwards.
Good.
Isn't it? See ya.
See ya.
Uh, Phoebe.
Colette! Wait up! Have you partnered up with anyone for the assignment? Oh, no, I don't do groups.
Oh, brilliant introvert refuses to collaborate.
Yawn.
I'm sorry to bore you but I have a day job.
I can't just hang.
Partner with me.
I don't I don't know your work.
But you will, if we team up.
Come on.
It's more fun in a group.
Of two? Is there any reason not to? Probably a million, including I'm not ready to collaborate with someone.
Why? Because all your recent collaborations have been unsuccessful? Well, look, I still want to be a groupie, so If you change your mind What's the difference between a lawyer and God? God doesn't think he's a lawyer.
You can see why had to step down from my stand-up career.
What a big loss to the world.
Hey, this is perfect crackling, Rob.
So, um, this FAT Night thing is a competition? What do you win? A highly valuable wooden spoon.
Oh.
Sorry, guys, I've got to jet.
Aw But you're gonna miss the cheesecake.
Oh, you'll have to excuse Tom.
His one-night stand services are in high demand, apparently.
Man-whore.
No, I told you, this is a legitimate second date.
And and what about the others? We've second dates too.
All of them? Yeah.
You're lying.
No, I'm not lying.
I have second dates lined up with all them.
Well, I'll be I'll be watching out, then.
OK.
As you like.
But, in the meantime, I'm running late for my second date so enjoy the cheesecake, ladies and gents.
Bye.
And that is vintage Coxy back on form.
Don't wait up.
Yeah.
Well, you don't have to share a flat with him.
It's his flat.
Yeah, I know, I was just saying.
Share house arguments.
I don't I don't miss those.
I just don't think that we have a right to judge Tom.
I mean, what he's doing is his business.
Oh, I was only stirring.
Well, your stirring sounded like judgement to me.
Since when is there anything wrong with bagging Tom? Yeah, no, you're right.
It's a fair call.
Why don't you just say something? Because I am with Nick and Carlos and Miranda's sex life has nothing to do with me.
Well, you were being a little narky.
I'm irrational.
OK, just shut up.
We going? Yes, we are.
Alright.
Night.
Love you.
You too.
See you later, guys.
Thanks for coming.
Nice to meet you, Nick.
Was I was I a bit harsh on Tom? Nah, like I said, he's fair game.
Yeah, well, Grace obviously doesn't think so.
Hmmm.
Who knows? PMS? You guys are right on time.
The Korean models have just discovered there's a face-eating poltergeist living in the mirrors of their fashion house.
Oh, freaky.
I'm gonna crash.
Suit yourself.
There's more cereal in the fridge.
Um, no, thanks.
Face-eating poltergeists aren't really my thing.
It's times like these I miss Carlos.
That hot Brazilian loved a bit of Korean horror.
I'm gonna go to bed.
Night, Harry.
Night.
What did you expect? The detective specifically told you not to look in the mirror.
Do you always have to floss so close to the mirror? Yeah.
I like to see what I'm doing.
So do I and it's a little hard through all your tooth gunk.
What was that vibe tonight with Grace and Miranda? Funny.
Not funny.
Hostile.
Alright, out with it! There's nothing to tell.
Right.
So it's just Grace being neurotic as usual.
She's not neurotic.
Then what did Miranda do to deserve that attack? Slept with Carlos, maybe.
What? Tom knows.
That's how Grace heard.
Carlos? Don't say anything.
Well, why haven't you asked her? You should find out.
I haven't said anything to Miranda and I'm not going to.
Carlos? Just Stay out of it.
So, what do you think of him? Huh? Nick.
A little bit up himself, don't you reckon? I don't know.
Grace is happy, so Yeah, I guess.
Oh Old habits, huh? I better go.
Yep.
Oh, um, we didn't really get a chance to talk tonight.
Do you do you want a maybe grab a coffee or something tomorrow? Or or we could just catch up next FAT Night.
No.
That would that would be good.
Huh? But, won't Jade mind? Uh oh, Jade and I aren't, um Aren't what? Uh, we're we're done.
Sorry to hear.
Yeah.
But yeah, coffee sounds good.
Great.
Why don't you just text me? Will do.
Text you.
You're amazing.
You are.
Does it feel good for you? Ah, yeah.
Yeah, that feels that feels good.
Tell me when.
Oh Um ah Ah, when, when.
Oh.
Yep, that's that's good.
I'm done.
You sure? Yeah.
You were quiet.
No, I'm I'm good, thanks.
Would you like to keep going? Ah Like that? Yeah, that's perfect.
Glad you could make it, Phoebe.
You know, I was a little surprised when you texted me.
I thought you might have been the kind of guy that never calls back.
No way.
Could I have a bite? I can go get you one if you want.
I can't eat a whole one, silly.
Sorry.
Only child.
Wow.
Movie's starting.
Do you think he means it? Answer it! Tell him to meet us.
No.
Nup.
That's not happening.
OK, you can turn it off now.
Shhh.
That's really clever, making out like I'm the one that's causing the scene.
Just some cranky old man.
Just let it go.
They're cute.
It's a cinema, not the back seat of a school bus.
Shhh.
Hey! Turn it off.
He's harassing us.
Sir, you're gonna have to leave.
Oh Oh, man, I'll tell you one thing, I'm never drinking vodka from a shoe again.
Ugh.
Nothing good can come from it.
Livin' la vida loca, mate? Lately you could say that.
Anyone I know? Oh, just randoms mostly.
Is Miranda included in that? Oh, yeah, we met up and drank and talked.
And? And it was very nice.
Dude Did you or did you not sleep with my sister? You know how wrong it is that you even asked me that question? No, look, I don't want details.
I just want to know.
Because if you're using Miranda to hurt Grace, that is really not OK.
Yeah.
So, I know if there was anything actually going on, you'd tell me.
Why would I do that? Well, because we're mates and she's my sister.
Hey.
If there's something going on, you should tell me.
You're an interferer.
A what? OK, I'm going to be honest with you right now.
And you're not gonna like it.
I knew it.
Your sister wants to be with Tom.
Sorry? And he wants to be with her too.
Wait, so you're saying that you and Miranda didn't do anything because she wants to be with Tom? What I'm saying is that you've ruined it for those two by interfering.
I have a right to look after my sister.
But you don't have a right to make her sad.
You might think that you're protecting Miranda but what are you really doing is stopping her from being happy.
Come on.
So what if they did? Grace left Carlos.
It's still not nice for her.
What if Miranda had slept with Rob? She'd better not.
So Rob's single again.
That's confirmed.
I told you Grace saw them fighting at the barbecue.
Yeah, but it wasn't about me.
Oh, I'm not so sure that he's over you.
Ooh.
Oh, that's me.
Who's Will? Um, a groupie from design class.
A groupie? I'm just kidding.
What, is he hitting on you? Oh, my God.
He is.
He's 20, so, no way.
He just wants to partner up for an assignment.
He's just being very persistent.
I think that's called horny.
Nothing's gonna happen.
I like his ideas.
Oh, ideas? Really? OK, so maybe he does have a crush.
At least I can tell.
Better than trying to figure out what's going on in Rob's head.
Morning.
Morning.
Hey, Harmony.
Miranda, hi.
Good to see.
You too.
You live with Tom, don't you? Yeah.
Yep, he's my flatmate.
Such a free spirit.
Yeah.
Is he round at the moment? I'm finding it a bit hard to get in touch with him.
Um, he's been a little bit hectic lately.
But, um, yeah He he should be around.
Great, I'll keep trying, then.
OK.
Namaste, everyone.
Namaste.
Ben.
No, I haven't had a chance this morning.
What's in it? When did this happen? OK.
Yep.
OK.
No, I'll be there in 45.
OK.
What's happening? They've refused the settlement.
What? "See you in court.
" Quote unquote.
It's already been leaked to the press.
Right.
Where are you going? Well, I've got to go into the office and figure out how to extricate us from this shit.
Janelle, get in contact with their lawyers, set up a conference call for 10.
Just wait.
I'll get ready.
That's not necessary.
It's our case.
Is that the one in the breaking news about the $6 million lawsuit? I can deal with this.
I can locate every document.
You're gonna need my help.
No.
I needed you not to have published the story in the first place.
That would have been helpful.
That would have been helpful.
You said that you would have done the same and you said that they would settle.
Yeah, well, I guess we were both wrong.
Just hold on.
No, you're not.
Nice guy.
I mean, what would Tom have in common with a yoga teacher? Flexibility.
OK, besides that.
Focus, stamina.
OK, OK, I got it.
Thanks for helping out with this.
That's OK.
I figure if I want people to take me seriously, I need a portfolio with actual stuff in it.
Hey, do you think Rob has broken up with Jade because he's missing you? I doubt it.
All I'm saying is now he's got it out of his system and that's probably why he's asked you out on this date.
It's not a date.
It's just a friendly used to be married, now separated catch up.
Well, that's the last of it.
Hey, hey, hey.
Who am I? "Ooh, yeah, Robbie! Do me in the bushes.
" You know you were born with a missing chromosome, right? Sorry, mate.
Slipped out.
And then back in again.
Well, laugh all you want, you idiots, but for your information, that's all done with.
That's a shame.
She's a bit of a spunk, mate.
Yeah, she was, but I wasn't prepared to go to jail for a killer rack.
Go grab the tools, mate.
Make yourself useful.
Well, if it makes you feel any better, my date last night was a It was a write-off.
Really? Oh.
Just not feeling it.
Well, mate, the human brain is a weird piece of circuitry.
Mm.
You just can't flick off the switch.
Hang on.
One more thing for the tip.
Did you lock up? Yes, Mum.
You can't throw that out.
That's in good nick.
It's just the legs.
The rest of it's busted.
Keys, Coxy? Great.
"BMG incompetence ends in court" Hey, you got a mention.
This is bad.
You're gonna need a disguise.
Or a new job.
Nick obviously doesn't respect my professional capabilities.
He's got NPD.
Narcissistic Personality Disorder.
He doesn't have NPD.
Remember how with Carlos, you wanted me to be the invisible man? Yeah.
Well, with Nick, I don't even have to try.
I don't exist.
I won't lie, that hurts my feelings, but I'm more worried about you.
OK.
I said it.
Nick! I need to know what's going on.
Can't brief you.
I've got an emergency meeting with them.
Well, is there any news? Not yet.
Look, you don't need to be here.
I want to stay in the loop.
Nick! Thanks so much, Maggie.
I'll bring it back this afternoon.
Oh, there's no hurry.
Oh! Oh, and I won't break it.
Don't worry.
I don't need any more bad luck.
Oh.
Well, you can bring it back at lunch, anyway.
Lunch? Tom didn't mention it? No.
No, he didn't.
Oh, maybe he forgot.
Yeah, or maybe he would rather bring one of his many, many other friends.
OK.
See ya.
You right there? Yep.
I'm sorry.
I forgot.
I am a very bad son.
I'm a very bad son with a movie date.
A date? Yeah.
With whom? With ummm Just a girl.
Are you not telling me her name because you don't remember it? I understand from Miranda that you've been a little busy lately.
Well, my date is none of your business.
Or Miranda's.
Darling, what happened? After Kristen, I thought you were evolving.
Mm-hm.
I've evolved.
And now I'm into a new phase.
Right, well, maybe we could discuss this new phase over a coffee this afternoon? I need to talk to you about going to see Mum's solicitor.
Oh, I'm sorry.
I'm meeting another friend after.
Well, dinner, then.
And invite Miranda.
Also busy.
Well, could you at least tell Miranda she's invited this time? I will.
How was yoga? Great.
Sure you don't want one? Oh, no, thanks.
I don't want to spoil lunch.
Oh.
I don't think I'll have time for lunch.
I've got another thing to go to.
But this is still good, yeah? Yeah.
It's meant to be a cracking film.
So this is it? Movie then sex? Sorry.
It's starting.
You know, if you didn't want to talk to me, you could have just been honest.
Shh.
Did you just shush me? What's wrong with you? Hm? Congratulations.
This is officially the worst date ever.
Don't go! Melody! It's Harmony! I'm not an interferer, am I? I'd spoke to Carlos about Miranda.
- Oh, Steve! - He didn't give me the answer anyway.
Good! He said, I've ruined Miranda's chance at happiness with Tom.
Which was I said to you and you've ingnored me.
Yeah well.
Maybe you're right.
It's just After dad left us it was my job to protect Miranda.
I didn't see it as interfering.
It's not called interfering.
That's over-functioning.
Well, I think I over-functioned things up.
Maybe.
But your heart was in the right place.
If I stuffed things for her, I really should fix it.
No! So, how do you think Steve got that idea? Well, he knew we hung out the other night, so Yeah, so he just automatically assumes that we You know what your brother's like.
You know, I did tell Tom that I shagged someone.
As a joke.
Oh, my God! Do you think that's why Grace has been mad at me? She thinks that we slept together.
Mmm.
What? Do you not even care what she thinks? Why should I care? I mean, we're finished.
She should give you more credit.
Or ask you before she judges.
Yeah, that's true.
This is work.
Oh.
I have to go soon.
See you.
OK.
See you.
Miranda! Hey, Claire.
Can I get you another coffee? No, I'm I'm actually fine, thank you.
That was weird, bumping into you at yours.
I knew you and Tom were friends, but I had no idea you lived together.
Uh, yeah.
Have you have you heard from Tom? Yeah, I called him, so we're catching up.
Tonight? Yeah, we're going to the movies.
Oh, great.
Hey, can you tell me, is Tom seeing anyone else? If you know something I should know then I wanna know it.
Oi! Hey, mate.
What's doin'? Can I ask you something? What do you think about Tom and Miranda? Well, let me get the ice-cream.
We'll do this properly, huh? Seriously, if she was your sister, would you stop her from seeing Tom? Depends if I was gonna win a car or not.
Ta.
Look, if you want my honest opinion, it was pretty obvious from day dot that those two had it bad for each other.
I think that's why Tom stayed single for so along.
Not just a dry spell? I don't think Tom knows what a dry spell is.
Mm.
So, in my opinion, yeah.
You probably did crap all over their happiness.
Thanks, man.
Any time.
So, what are you making? Oh, it's just some junk I salvaged from the site.
Oh, recycling, eh? Dani would approve.
Yeah, it's nothing, really.
It's just You better not be checking me in.
OK.
Well, you know I hate that.
I know, I know.
It's the digital age.
It's all very scary.
Alright, Bieber, hurry up and show me your design concept.
I have a date this afternoon.
Oh, really? Alright, look, so it's all just some really basic modelling at this stage, but, you know, you'll get the idea.
Just here.
Thanks.
Oh, you call this basic modelling? Yeah.
Every time I think you might be intelligent, you go and do something like take a photo of your food.
Hi.
Hey.
How are ya? Good.
What what's going on? Didn't we have a date? Six girls in a week? Dick move, Tom.
Dick move.
Don't bother coming in when I'm working.
You won't get served.
Harmony.
Hey, I'm so sorry about Oh, no, no, no.
No, no, no.
You weren't out of alignment.
No.
No, I'm sure even Buddha lost it sometimes.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Um, no, yeah.
That's That's plenty of time.
OK.
I'll see you in 20 minutes.
OK, bye.
Thought you were going home? Oh, I wanted to wait.
There's nothing to brief you on.
Their lawyers haven't filed anything new.
They just rejected the settlement.
That doesn't make any sense.
Well, I'm sure it'll all become pretty clear in court.
You know, we were stupid to think that they wouldn't see it through in the first place.
We weren't stupid.
Not when they agreed What were you thinking? Sorry? Grabbing my arm like that in front of Ben? Uh, I didn't see him.
Well I just spent the last half hour convincing him we're not sleeping together.
And that is the last fuckin' thing I need right now.
God, I needed that swim.
Just to wash that horrible off.
It was mortifying.
I mean, I couldn't believe that I had actually put myself in that position.
Or that he was actually saying those things! I can't believe you didn't tell him where to go.
Yeah This is exactly like when Mrs Benedict found out that I was one that stuck the candle up St Francis's nose.
I don't like getting in trouble, especially not from people that I feel vulnerable to.
This is his other side.
Oh, come on.
No-one is that charming.
It would be really annoying to get fired for sex that isn't even that great.
Really? No, I mean But but it's just not Carlos? It's like he's performing the role of the world's greatest lover, but he is trying so hard that he's not even there.
Oh, some guys take a while to let their guard down.
This is like he's having sex with himself! Well, he is very attractive.
Mm.
Look, if he's treating you badly and the sex isn't great, I don't know what you're staying for.
Oh, no, he's not treating me badly.
I mean, well, not until today.
I dunno.
I dunno.
Maybe you're right.
If it wasn't for me, do you honestly think you and Tom would have worked? Well, we'll never know now, will we? You holding it against me? Which part? The part where you had the bet, the part where you hid it from me, or the part that you told me the way you did it? So, you are holding it against me? No, not really.
It it doesn't matter anymore.
You in love with Tom? We're flatmates.
That's all.
Hey.
Hey.
The bet was a bad idea.
Yeah.
I think we're all in agreeance It was stupid and immature and it's caused a whole lot of trouble.
I agree with everything you're saying, but No, can you just let me finish, please? I need to say this.
OK.
Look, we've been mates for a long time.
Yeah.
Yep? And I've seen things in this apartment that I won't soon forget.
OK? No matter how hard I try.
Mm-hm.
But if you can tell me that your intentions are honest Hey, there's no towel in the bathroom.
Oh, yep.
Sorry.
No, that's OK, that's OK.
Hey.
Sorry! It's OK.
It's OK.
I have to go.
Oh, good chat.
Yeah, good chat.
Good chat.
It's Nick.
Thanks for that.
Um, I've found a precedent.
It turns out that even if they take us to court that It's over.
Well, no, it's not.
Here, listen.
Grace, it's done.
They were bluffing.
They want double the negotiated settlement fee.
And did they get it? Not all of it.
You'd done a great job tying the agreement down, so .
.
good news.
OK, well, thanks for telling me.
Look, I'm sorry if I seemed harsh before.
I mean, I'd love to shout it out from the rooftops, but keeping its low-key at work protects us both.
Grace? You're not nice to Harry.
Sorry? Bye.
I was wondering if you could replace this light out the back this afternoon.
Ooh, you're otherwise engaged.
Yeah, sorry, I've been on a bit of a roll with this thing, you know? That's looking great! It's getting there.
Where are you gonna put it? It's not for me.
Oh.
Well, whoever ends up with it is gonna love it.
Um, sorry to rush you, but I actually have to go.
OK.
OK.
They're not finished, or very good.
No, no, no.
What are you talking about? This is this is awesome.
You're just being nice.
No, I'm being serious.
Look, the curvature of this globe, it's it's beautiful.
Look, you take charge and we'll combine the best of both our designs.
Alright.
Yes? We'll give it a go.
Yes? Yeah.
Alright! This needs to be commemorated.
Oh, my God! Put it away! No, come on.
It's just one.
It's an experiment, right? Oh, easy, tiger! That's pretty hot, right? I'm putting a rule on this group situation.
Mm-hm.
No more selfies.
Deal.
Running late as usual, Mr Duffy? No, no, that's cool.
No, I understand.
You have to take the work.
Absolutely.
We can do it another time.
Yep, it was just casual.
OK.
Alright.
Bye.
I come bearing gifts.
Well, you didn't have to do that.
Oh, you don't want chicken rice paper rolls? Nobody said that.
That's heaps! Yeah, well, it's for everyone.
Is Harry here? Harry! Nick? I think I've found something you might be interested in.
It's a vintage radio.
Replica.
Yeah, but these speakers are a million times better than the old ones.
I can't accept it.
No, I don't I don't want the thing, trust me.
It's yours.
OK, thanks.
Hey, do you want some? Nick's bought enough to feed an army.
Well, cyclists need their carbs, right? Yeah.
Inviting Carlos to dinner is my way of apologising for you sticking your nose in.
I'm just gonna hope that he didn't sleep with Miranda.
Me too.
For Grace's sake.
I really haven't made much of an effort to talk to him since they broke up.
So I went to see Tom this afternoon.
What is wrong with you? No, I went to give him my blessing, with Miranda, but it turns out I was interrupting him hooking up with someone else.
And in the end, I couldn't do it.
What part of "it's not all about you" do you still think is all about you? So what am I meant to do? Nothing.
Yeah? Hi, it's me! Oh, hi! Oh Oh, just put it by the wall there, darling.
Oh, OK.
Thank you so much.
It was perfect for the shoot.
Oh, I'm glad I could help! Yeah.
Did you speak to my son today? Ah, no.
No, I didn't.
I told him to pass on an invite for dinner.
Oh.
Um Thanks, though, but I've actually got to race.
I want to get some work done before Tom gets back.
So I'm guessing you decided not to take my advice? Um, what advice was that? To give Tom a second chance.
Sorry.
That was II I thought you were trying to warn me off him.
No! Oh, really? Did I muck that up? Oh, I should never have got involved.
It's OK.
Um Tom's obviously moved on and .
.
so have I.
So see you.
OK.
Bye.
Bye.
Oh, hello! Yeah, you tracked down Tom? I did, yeah.
I'll see you in class, then.
Namaste.
Namaste.
Hey! You hungry? I can make two.
Mm, no, thanks.
I'd rather not catch anything.
Oh, don't be like that.
How many was that today, Tom? Hm? Are you trying to set some land speed record or something? You might not agree with whatever it is you think I'm doing, but I don't have to explain it to you.
No, you don't, but you do have to take other people's feelings into account.
You know, I have to see that woman every day.
A bit of a double standard, don't you think? I have to see Carlos too.
Oh, my God.
You're way off.
Am I, really? Because the last you told me, you were having wild sex with someone.
So I don't really know where I'm getting confused there.
No, I was just saying that to wind you up because you were so out of line.
No, I saw the text from Carlos No! .
.
so I know for a fact that you spent the night with him.
I didn't No, no, don't, don't Don't don't don't even bother.
OK? I don't care.
You do whatever you want.
But I do think you need to consider Grace in this, because what you're doing is very low.
OK, Carlos and I, we're friends.
We spent the whole night talking.
Oh You can just go and fuck yourself, Tom.
If you have the time.
Oh, I can do that.
No, Nick.
He who pays for takeaway does not clear up.
Good rule.
So Hmm Is this where you tell me I'm an arsehole? I don't know.
Are you an arsehole? OK.
Full disclosure.
Bianca is threatening to go for full custody of Cleo and it's been doing my head in a bit.
