Love in the Time of Chaos

1
SANTI: I thought it
was good. I enjoyed it.
- Have you seen it?
- (SPEAKS SPANISH)
- Hope you guys are hungry.
- (ROSA SPEAKS SPANISH)
- (SANTI SPEAKS SPANISH)
- (ROSA LAUGHS)
- Smells good, man.
- (ROSA SPEAKS SPANISH)
Come and sit down.
(SEBASTIAN LAUGHS)
- What's so funny?
- SEB: Nothing. Nothing.
OK, here we go.
- (AIR HORN BLARES)
- (ROSA SCREAMS)
- (GABE LAUGHS)
- Gabe, what the fuck?!
- ROSA: Gabriel!
- It was just a joke.
- (HECTOR CHUCKLES)
- Ah, mi amor, I'm sorry.
It's a It's a joke.
I can handle it.
I met this girl hiking Yucatán
and we kind of fell in
It wasn't love, but
our souls were tethered.
And the last night we just lay
down and just held each other.
It was the most intense
exchange of energy.
The next morning, she says goodbye
and goes to meet her fiancé.
Wait, she was engaged?
That's really not the
point of the story, Dad.
Oh, she was your Rosebud?
Yeah No. No.
Sorry, what's the point then?
I could spend the rest
of my life agonising
over what I know I lost that day
or I could carry the best of it with me.
Well, I've lost everything.
Maybe I should go on a hike.
Yeah. You could find your new Rosebud.
Or find myself.
The Great North Walk, you heard of it?
Sydney Opera House to Newcastle.
Two weeks, bush, wilderness.
We could do it together.
Yeah, I'd love to do that with you, Dad.

Oh, thanks, JJ.
Is something wrong with Grangie?
Um no.
There's nothing wrong with her.
But she really likes
pretending to be asleep
at the moment, doesn't she?
Yeah.
She must be playing
the hibernation game.
Hibernating is what
bears and other animals
do in the winter when it's really cold.
They gather all of their
food and their supplies
and they hunker down
until the spring comes
and then they can go
outside and play again.
Her other games are better.
EDITH: Hello?
Hey. Thanks for coming.
Well, thanks for calling.
- Um
- (GASPS) Aunty Edie!
- Hi, cool girl.
- Hey, J?
Do you want to go pack
your bag for me, please?
- Why?
- Uh
Because we're gonna let Aunty Edie
play the hibernation game with Grangie.
OK.
(WHISPERS) It's really boring.
(KNOCK AT DOOR)
No.
Thank you.
EDITH: Um it's me.
- Hmm.
- (DOOR OPENS)
Angie?
You OK in there?
Can I
I'm sorry it took so long
to talk to you again.
(CLEARS THROAT)
I know it was a shock for everyone,
but, you know, it
happened so fast for me too
and, you know, I needed
some time to process it.
And you already know I'm kind
of avoidant when it comes to
You know (CLEARS THROAT)
When we were
I was starting to think
that
I really felt like I
so wanted to be with you.
But then that whole thing happened
and I-I just freaked out.
And
I figured you'd tell me
it was a mistake and that
you couldn't see me anymore.
And then Oly told me
that you haven't been up,
so, um, I thought I'd see if
What, you only came
because Oly asked you to?
No, that's not what I meant.
(STAMMERS) I did want
to come and see you.
I
I just thought you'd tell me to go away.
God, you mustn't think that much of me.
Oh, Ange. No, that's not it.
(ANGIE GROANS AND SNIFFS)
Ange.
OK.
I'm sorry.

(SPEAKS SPANISH)

- Hey, Seb.
- Hi.
- Good to see you.
- Bye.
- Bye.
(ROSA BLOWS AIR KISSES)
(SIGHS)
Hey, Gabe.
How's it going?
Hey, have you heard of Chocolate Remix?
What?
It's a music group.
Better lyrics. Less sexist.
It's just music.
(TURNS UP VOLUME)
Ah! I love this song.
I was just telling him that
the lyrics are a little extreme.
Yes, yes, Gabe, turn it down.
You just said you liked it.
Gabriel.
You said you'd drive me to Dad's.
- We can still drive you.
- What do you mean 'we'?
You're gonna turn up
with him in the car?
And what, you like being
driven around by a girl, do you?
Yeah. Same as you.
Well, you get your licence
and I won't have to.
(TURNS UP VOLUME)
You know what? I really
like this now. Whoo!
(ROSA CHUCKLES)
- (MUSIC STOPS)
- GABE: You look like idiots!
(ROSA SPEAKS SPANISH)
GABE: Why don't you both fuck off?
I don't want to be anywhere
near you two bitches anymore.
- Gabriel!
- Gabe, let's walk it off, yeah?
Get off me! This has
nothing to do with you!
You only live here because
nobody fucking wants you.
- No, Gabriel, don't say that.
- This is my house.
None of you should fucking be here.
No, this is MY house
and I decide who is here!
- Fine then. I'm going to Dad's.
- Not in my shirt, you're not.
- Fuck off! You gave it to me.
- No, I didn't.
Hey!
Why are you being such
a dick to your mum?
Why keep telling people what
to do when your life sucks?
Go and apologise.
- Why should I? It is my house.
- OK, well, you know what?
This is mine and you're
not going if you're a dick.
- What are you doing?
- Take it off.
- This you being a dad?
- Yeah, maybe.
- Well, you suck at it.
- Well, you suck at being a son.
- Stop it, you freak!
- You want a go, do you?
- Yes!
- What, are you gonna hit me?
Maybe I will 'cause
you're a fucking bitch too.
(ROSA SPEAKS SPANISH)
- (HECTOR SPEAKS SPANISH)
- (ROSA REPLIES IN SPANISH)
BROTHERS: Stop!
ROSA: Gabriel!
(ROSA CONTINUES IN SPANISH) Gabriel!
(BROTHERS GROAN)
(ALEJANDRO SPEAKS SPANISH)
That's why I didn't want you here.
Alright.
(DESPONDENT MUSIC)
(SIGHS)
(EXHALES HEAVILY)
(SIGHS)
(MELANCHOLY MUSIC)
(EXHALES)
How did you know I'd get up?
I didn't.
I don't know if I can endure
you breaking up with me again.
I'm sorry.
It just seemed like
the right thing to do.
Mm, I didn't realise losing you
would hit that hard until it happened.
I wasn't dead.
But I was.
There's a version of me with you
that isn't the same as Mum Angie
and Cancer Angie.
Whatever Angie.
Crying Sloth Angie?
Mm. Too soon.
I really want to be with you.
What have you been doing all this time?
Just hoping you'd come and get me.
But we have to keep it PG
when the kids are around.
But they're not here, so
(ANGIE CHUCKLES)
(FOOTSTEPS APPROACH)
(OLY CALLS OUT) Family
members in the building.
(SIGHS) Oh, it's JJ.
- JACINDA: Grangie's back!
- Hey!
Oh, I missed your cuddles.
JACINDA: Was it cold in your winter?
Um
A little bit. And boring.
EDITH: Hello.
- Hey.
- Shh.
Um, why don't you come
to a party with me?
- A party?
- Yeah.
(UPBEAT HIP-HOP MUSIC PLAYS)
(EXCITED CHATTER)
Maybe you could pivot
into forensic nursing
and be my assistant as I solve
crimes and prosecute criminals.
Hmm, so you're gonna be
a fictional character in a TV show.
- Nice.
- (SCOFFS) A podcast, please.
Oh, yeah, makes way more sense.
(REEMA CHUCKLES)
That guy is like a vortex of awkward.
VINCE: Terrible.
Obviously he knows we're too cool, so
- Hey.
- Yeah.
I would absolutely experience
a vaginal birth if I could.
But don't you hear
that from loads of guys?
(LAUGHS) I have literally
never heard that.
- Never?
- No.
- Really? For real?
- (LAUGHS) Ooh.
- What?
- Oh, here. Here, here.
- That's electric.
- It is wild, huh?
I've always loved pregnant people.
- Mm.
- And older women.
OK, Handsy, step away
from the sentient being.
- We were having a moment.
- A lesbian moment?
Oh, OK. Yeah, right.
But you do have really nice hands.
We're going, we're leaving. OK. Goodbye.
- Goodbye.
- Oh, well, peace be upon you.
Hi there.
No.
(CHUCKLES) Could you be more desperate?
I'm just reshuffling my energy,
so it's possible
I'm not connecting with
the right people yet.
Oh, connect with your shoes.
You've got two vaginas right there.
Mm.
Aloha, everyone. Thanks for coming.
Um, I meditated on
what Talia means to me
and I could feel our baby
communicating with me,
moving, dancing,
interpreting our shared truth.
And now I would like to share
that truth with all of you.
The moves I make now are
the moves made by our baby.
(MEDITATIVE CHANTING MUSIC PLAYS)
(GASPS)
- (GASPS)
- Oh.
(SUPPRESSED LAUGHTER)
(CHEERING AND APPLAUSE)
Whoo! Whoo!
Yes!
OK. OK.
Those of you who know Ariel know
that her speech was bound to be a dance.
(LAUGHS)
And I know that I should
expect the unexpected
but she still manages
to surprise me every day.
Surprise!
(ALL CHEER RAPTUROUSLY)
- (CORK POPS)
- (UPBEAT HIP-HOP MUSIC PLAYS)
Going up. Going down.
- Going down!
- Groove it up.
Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait.
(LAUGHTER)
MAN: Whoo-whoo!
Yes, Jase!
(PEOPLE WHOOP)
Hey there. I'm Bowie. What's your name?
Dude, stop!
Yeah, that's fine.
Hey, don't worry about
it. How about you?
- Mm-mm.
- Hey, can I get a beer?
- Can I grab one too, bro?
- Hey!
- Hi.
- Keeks didn't want to come?
No, she did. She just had a work thing.
- Sorry?
- She had a work thing.
- I might
- Can I join you?
- OK.
- OK.
(HIP-HOP MUSIC CONTINUES IN BACKGROUND)
- Cheers.
- Salud.
Here's to
Quick. Say something.
- To the future.
- To the future? OK.
So, how's your mum and everyone?
Uh, they are
who they are.
Mm. (LAUGHS) Yeah.
So I wanted to talk to you about J.
- Mm.
- Just about our days.
Oh, yeah.
I got into this animation academy thing.
- Really?
- Yeah.
I mean, I'm not
surprised that you got in.
- I just, I didn't know that
- I just didn't wanna jinx it.
But, yeah, I got in
and I'm pretty stoked.
Yeah!
I've already met this other guy
who wants to make the same type games.
That is so exciting.
I'm sorry, I should have told you.
- Or at least asked you before.
- No, that
I'll still work at Picá del
Sabor a few nights a week,
helping out Rosa, maybe weekends.
I'm not entirely sure yet but
It's totally fine, I get it.
Thanks, Ol.
- Is everything OK?
- Yeah, I-I
I also applied for this thing.
A scholarship.
For an exchange in New York.
Oh.
Yeah. Sorry, I should have warned you.
No, no, no, it's fine. It's just
I didn't realise you still
wanted to go to New York.
Yeah. Yeah.
I mean, it's kind of impossible.
It would be this huge deal
for you and for J obviously.
- Four months, it's
- No, no, no.
I don't want you to worry about that.
If it happens, we can
find a way to make it work.
- It sounds pretty cool, though.
- Yeah.
Yeah, I don't even know if
I'll get to the interview stage.
It's pretty competitive.
I once met someone who said it's
only competitive if you don't get in.
(LAUGHS)
She sounds young.
Yeah, she was.
No, no, I reckon go for it.
Go the full full Oly.
(BOTH LAUGH)
I'm proud of you.

Oh, we can head off if you want.
Oh, no, I'm fine.
- Oh, thanks.
- Hey.
Sup?
Um, Santi was just telling
me about this course
that he got into, so we
had to talk about J's days.
Oh, cool. Congratulations, man.
Thanks, bro.
Uh, is it like a uni course or
Uh, sort of. Animation.
Oh!
Yeah, no, I've, um, actually heard
some of those vocational
colleges are pretty good.
Isn't international law vocational?
Well, I'm not sure my PhD
supervisor would agree with that.
Uh, OK, I might go back.
OK.
(SIGHS) See ya, champ.
See ya.
So, um, there actually was something
I really wanted to talk
to you about, if it's OK.
You you want to do that here?
(EXHALES) Um
(CLEARS THROAT)
A scale of one to ten,
how important do you
think interpretive dance is
to the success of a relationship?
- Oly?
- (CHUCKLES)
Oh!
(OLY STIFLES LAUGHTER)
Hmm.
Hmmmm.
SHOP ASSISTANT: Are you
sure you don't need any help?
Um, mmm
I'm just making sure
that I'm thoroughly
exploring all my options.
You know the Great North Walk? Yeah.
Well, I'm doing it. (CHUCKLES)
With my son, because we are very close.
You, uh, close with any of these boots?
Well, these ones are light
but I'm worried that
the sole's too thin,
and these ones are
screaming, "Toenail trouble!"
But these ones, these
ones feel too heavy.
Maybe they're not heavy.
Are there any of these I
can put back, do you think?
No, no, no. Uh, I'm going
to try them all again.
Thank you.
Hmmm.
(PEBBLES CRUNCH LOUDLY)
Sweet.
Friend!
- No!
- MAN: Have a good weekend.
- See you, mate.
- DOM: Wait, brother!
Friend! No, don't go. Wait!
- Please, wait up!
- Excuse me!
Wait! Please!
Wait, wait, wait, wait! Please stop.
Are you
- (BOTH SCREAM) Radiohead!
- Oh, my God!
(BOTH CACKLE)
Excuse me? Are you gonna pay for those?
- They're gonna be too heavy.
- That was my exact concern.
Oh! I've missed you
and your shoe opinions.
- I tried to internet-sleuth you.
- Really?
Yes, man, I wanted to
catch up but no luck!
And then my dad got sick
and I moved down to look
after him and then
He died coming up to a year
in, um a year in a few weeks.
- Sorry, man.
- Yeah, yeah, it's
Just weird, you know.
Where where whereabouts was he?
- Mornington Peninsula.
- Oh, yeah.
- Which, uh, town?
- Rosebud.
Have you been there?
Nah, nah, but I know it.
So good to see you,
bro. So good to see ya.
(GENTLE MUSIC)
HECTOR: Rosa?
(SPEAKS SPANISH)
HECTOR: I wanted to talk to you.
OK.
One of the things that I admire
about you is how you adapt.
I know what it's like for you
to have built a life over here.
(CONTINUES IN SPANISH)
True.
No.
But I don't blame you for walking away.
I didn't walk away. I
went for a walk. To think.
I know Gabe. I was Gabe.
I was also in the way
of my mum's happiness.
- How are you so reasonable?
- Ah!
(LAUGHS)
No, but you're like from another planet.
Is that so bad?
No. (CHUCKLES) No.
Will you marry me?
- (UPBEAT LATIN POP MUSIC)
- What?
- Only if you say yes.
- Yes!
- Yes?
- Yes.
Yes. (LAUGHS)
- Yes.
