really nice planned for you. You need to be grateful.
- I'm scared-- I'm scared of surprises.
- I have an afternoon planned for us-- you'll like it.
If he doesn't want to go, you can take me.
- That's creepy. You're getting creepy every day,
more and more creepy. - Best be off.
- Thank god he's not staying for breakfast.
- I don't like soy! - Mmm-hmm.
- I think i might need to get a new job
if we're gonna have a kid. - No, just-just
don't worry about it. - Don't worry about it?
Kids are expensive. I go to a locksmith
the other day and it cost $160. Took him, like, five minutes.
- You don't need a new job. - It's, like,
a six-week course, and i think I'd be really good at it.
- You know, you don't have to come with me today.
- Our first doctor's appointment--
I'm not gonna miss that. - Well, it's just--
I'll be fine on my own. - Are you kidding, niamh?
I'm gonna be there for you every step of the way.
This is our baby. I don't wanna miss a single
second of this experience. This is, like,
the whole point of life. It's a miracle.
What? Is this the hormones?
- Peg, come on. Just please let me drive.
You're gonna get in trouble. - Oh, what can they do to me?
Take away my license, again? Send me to prison?
I've only got a few good months left anyway.
- Josh, are you sure we're doing enough for your 21st?
Perhaps we could get a hall or something.
- Yes, please, i told you. I just-i don't want a party.
- Well, you're gonna get a party.
- We don't need a fricking hall.
I only have two friends and Geoffrey.
- I just want it to be special. That's all.
Your 21st, it's a big deal. - Bought me this pinata, okay?
It's already heaps special. It's special enough.
- Have you invited your father? You should invite your father.
- No, we don't need to. I'll just see him another day.
- Oh, no, Josh, I'm fine. Invite him.
Look, no, really, I'm fine. Look, he can bring a date.
Has he got a girlfriend? - I don't know.
Wouldn't know if he has a girlfriend.
- You said that like you were lying.
- Okay, fine! He has a girlfriend,
but he doesn't want me to tell you about it, okay?
- So, why doesn't he want me to know about it?
- I don't know-- i guess he thinks it'll upset you,
you know? He leaves her
at the corner store every time he comes to visit.
It's pretty ridiculous.
- Yeah, he's a ridiculous man. - Yeah.
- Anyone want a strawberry? - So, what's her name?
- Mae. - Oh... Mae?
Oh, fuck.
- Come on-- stop crying. You knew he'd have to move on
one day. Anyway, you've got rod.
- Oh, rod is disgusting! - He really is disgusting.
- Now, why would that freaking jerk think that
i couldn't handle this news? Hmm?
- Josh, will you pass me my cd?
- It's in. - Oh, good.
We'll have a sing-along! - Yes!

My boot scooting baby is driving me crazy
- Alan! - Hello, rose.
- Thank you so much for coming to help out today.
I-i really appreciate it. It's very generous of you.
Should we get started? - Mmm-hmm.
- Open for inspection. Right.
- Right. - So, where do we start, then?
- Should i vacuum? Jesus, when was the last time
you vacuumed? - I'm depressed.
I don't vacuum. - Don't look at me.
We're in the same family. We all have the same habits.
- I'll vacuum. - No, please, you really-you
really don't need to vacuum. - No, and you won't have time
if you're gonna make the game. - What game?
- Rose, it was meant to be a surprise.
- No, he really doesn't like surprises, Geoffrey.
- I don't-- what game? - Collingwood versus
kilda members stand. - Oh, no, no, not afl.
No, i don't like it. You know i don't like it.
I don't get it-- - I'll-I'll teach you.
- No, i don't wanna watch sport and do learning.
- Josh! - It's not a fun day.
What about Claire's seventies-themed dinner party?
I-I'm really excited about it. - We will be there
on time, Josh. - Can't you just
take someone else? I'll ruin the fun for you.
Can't you just find a real boy? - Well, you can stay here
and help us. - My advice is,
take the football. - Alan, Alan?
Can you come here, please? - Yeah.
- Look, I've got a job for you outside while
I've got a real man here, okay? Come on.
Now, i think this would look much better in the backyard.
- Uh... rose, there's-there's no way.
- No-no-no-no, you just have to dig it up.
I'll help you carry it around the back-- it'll be right.
- There's no way. - Now, come on.
I really need this done. I don't have anybody here
to help me do it. - Rose, it's not possible.
- Okay, fine. Forget it, then.
Let's just go down to the corner store for some
chocolate milk, shall we? - Oh, uh, rose, i don't think
we've got time to go down to the, uh-uh--
what are you doing? We-we don't have time for milk.
- I just want some delicious milk.
- What are you doing? - I know about her, okay?
I know. I know she's waiting
down at the corner store. Josh said.
- For fuck's sake. Why would he do that?
- Well, why the fuck does that matter?
He told me because it came up. - Okay, yes, yes.
You're right. - Anyway, i-I've decided
I'm not angry about it. I've moved on anyway.
I'm happy for you. - Oh.
- Yeah, anyway, look, about this tree.
- Hey, ma. Me and Geoffrey are going out
to the football, all right? - But you hate sport.
- Yeah, so much. I hate it so much.
- Bye. All right, Alan, now,
I'm going into the kitchen to do some tidying up.
I'm going to leave you with this tree.
- Rose, the--
- so, what's she like, then? - Who?
- Me. - Uh, Mae?
- Yeah, uh, just tell me about her.
I-i want-want us to be friends. Then-then i can
tell you about rod. - Who's rod?
- Man I'm seeing. - That's good.
- Yeah, so, uh, where did you meet her?
- On a plane. - Oh, that's good.
- She's from Thailand. - And, she came all the way
out here for you? - Yeah.
- She mustn't have very good eyesight.
- They don't all have bad eyesight, rose.
- What-- oh-oh, Alan, no. Not because she's asi--
no, i was making a joke about you, about how you lo--
i-i was joking about how she came all the way out here
for you, and you look like, ugh, that.
- Right-- that's very funny. - Mmm.
- So, tell me about rod. - Oh, well,
he's horrible to talk to, but he's incredible in bed.
Best I've ever had.
Go, go, go!
That's useless!
Come on, pies!
Grab the-grab the ball!
- Hey. - I'm at the football.
- Oh, really? What's it like?
- Tom, I'm so fucking bored. Geoffrey keeps yelling things
that i can't understand. - How did he talk you
into this? - I'm making compromises,
okay? Apparently, it's good
to compromise. - You never compromise.
- Yeah, i know, 'cause then i end up
in situations like this. Why did i get back with him?
I'm just such a big dope. - Uh, 'cause he's pretty,
and you were rejected and alone.
- Yeah-- how's your baby? - We're at the doctor now.
- Oh, are you-are you getting it done?
- Done? - Like, you're getting it all,
you know? - No.
We're not getting an-- we're not getting an abortion.
I wanna keep it. - I've been thinking,
and i think one of my favorite things about Geoffrey is that
he doesn't have a uterus. You know, 'cause it means that
we can never get ourselves into this situation.
- I think it's good for the world there's no risk
you could get someone pregnant. - Yeah.
You ever surprised that your sperm actually works?
Geoffrey, I've decided i
wanna get involved-- I'm ready. - Okay-okay.
You see this bloke? - Yeah.
- Centre half-forward, right? His main role is to move the
ball toward the bloody goal! Don't drop it!
- You sound angry-- is he bad? Is he a bad one?
- No, he was the best and fairest last year.
- He's the best one? So i get to yell whatever
i like at these people, even though they're doing
way more than i ever could? - Hey, he's not doing anything
today-- you butterfingered piece of shit!
- What are you gonna do when you get too old
to do this? The life of a sportsman
is short, and you never got a real education!
- Pick up the ball, you idiot!
- What-- are your hands still slippery from when you
fingered-- i was gonna say-- i was gonna say,
"are your hands still slippery "from when you fingered
"your cousin?" I couldn't do it.
- You fingered your cousin! - Geoffrey, have i seen
that man's wang on the-- - yep, that's him.
- Excuse me, sir-- I've seen your wang!
- That is weak as piss! Bring your husband next time,
you faggot-- faggot! - Geoffrey, i don't-i don't
think you're allowed to say "faggot."
- You faggot! - Excuse me, boys?
- No, it's okay-- i told him. We'll calm down.
- Mate, i can't allow that kind of homophobic slandering.
I think it's time to go. - Homophobic?
Mate, it's-it's my boyfriend. We're not-can't be homophobic.
- Still time to go, lads. Come on.
- Why did you say that? - What?
- About rod and the, you know, the bloody bedroom thing?
You trying to make me feel bad? - It was a joke.
- Oh. - Well, it's-it's
not a big deal. I'm sure Mae has moves.
- Jesus, rose! Do-do we need to talk
more seriously about this? - Oh, you seem a bit
taken aback-- sorry. Is the sex a sore spot?
Is it not great? Communication is the key--
I've always found that. - Jesus Christ.
- Sex is not a sore spot with rod, i can tell ya.
There's no communication.
- I'm gonna go. - You're angry at me
'cause i kissed you? - No, no, it's nothing
like that-- i promise. I just-i wanna-i wanna
go and do my own thing. - You're just ashamed
of kissing me in public. - It's not about you.
I just-i don't like it. I don't like all those
people looking-- it's icky. - It's just-you can't handle
that you fell in love with a guy.
- Who the fuck says stuff like that?
You sound-sounds like a line from degrassi junior high.
- You're so afraid to feel things, Josh!
- It's not about feeling things.
- Yeah, because you can't. - Yes, i can-- i can!
I can feel things. - You know what?
I don't-i don't need this.
- Claire. What you up to?
- What are you doing? - I'm done.
- Oh, you're quitting. What a surprise.
- Ah. - Oh, sorry, peg.
- Rose, i just want you to know that i am genuinely
doing the things that I'm doing to try to make this
easier for you. - What-- easy like your mama?
- Really, rose. - "Really, rose."
- C-can you please be serious? What are you doing?
Stop it! Why are you making this
so difficult? - Easier for me?
Now, how arrogant, Alan, of you to think that
you are in control of making things easier for me!
We're divorced, mate! Like, that's it-- it's over.
You're irrelevant! Now, so, why should i be
making things easier for you? - Stop it!
- Sorry-- hi. I was knocking for a while.
House looks great.
Oh, hi. The agent.
- I'm the aunty. - Gonna sell this house.
Good luck.
No, not those ones. The other ones.
- These ones? - Yeah.
- Do you think i should be okay with kissing boys
in public? - Well, you weren't okay
with kissing me in public. - Exactly.
Exactly. It's-it's too much, you know?
It's just so... ugh. Ugh.
- Okay, i have to tell you something, but, um,
don't tell tom that I've told you.
- Okay. - No, i mean it.
You really, really can't tell him that I've told you.
I'm only telling you because i don't have anyone else.
- Yes, okay, okay. Yes, okay, i got it.
- And don't be mean about it either, please.
- Yes, fine. What?
- Um... Tom and i made out.
- No. You poor thing.
What did he do to you? - Nothing-- i liked it.
We made out twice, actually. Once properly and once briefly.
- No, how did you-how did you find sex in-in tom?
- We didn't have sex, though. - Yes, of course-- okay.
Obviously, of course. Of course you didn't have sex,
obviously. - We did make out
in the shower, though. He did ejaculate on my thigh.
- Oh, no, that's too much. Why would you tell me that?
You know, this is just-- Claire, this is too much
for me to handle. - Well, I'm only telling you
because i have no friends, and i have to tell someone
about this stuff. - Okay.
Okay. - Also--
- no. No, there isn't an "also."
I won't believe it-- i can't. I can't believe it.
- I really liked it. I-I'd like to do it again,
a lot. I liked it-- i like him.
- Yeah? Sure-- i like him, too.
You know what i mean? He's a likeable guy.
What a likeable chap. - Yeah, but i like-like him.
- No-- ugh!
Ugh. - Okay, i get it.
I just-- - ugh!
- Can you please just pretend to be sensitive
and caring about my feelings? Like i know you're actually
quite secretly good at. - No, I'm not secretly
good at it. I'm not.
- Whatever. Anyway, i just-i really
can't wait for him to get rid of niamh.
I just-i can't stand her. She's the worst.
- Hey, i-i have some fucked news.
- What? - Uh, they are
keeping the baby. I feel a bit weird
that i said that news was-- by saying it was fucked.
I-i mean, that's good news, that's okay news.
They're not gonna kill a baby. I guess that's good news.
That's not the point. It's bad news for you,
personally, because, like, you know, you really like him,
and maybe he likes you, and i just-I'm just hoping
that if i keep talking, it'll take longer for you to
say something that points out how completely heartbreaking
this is for you. - Okay.
- Really? Do you wanna cancel tonight?
We should cancel tonight. We-we can cook
at my mum's house. I'll tell them-I'll just
tell them it was my fault. - It's fine-- i should just
deal with this head-on anyway. - Yes?
- Stupid, yes. - Okay.
- Yeah.
- Up-up-up-up.
- So, you can see we got a two-car garage.
Big gate, big gate. No one's getting through that.
Uh, substantial front yard. So, play sports and whatnot.
It's got a very lovely front entrance there,
with the two trees. You wanna keep going?
I'll give you this, uh, brochure.
Not really sure what the plan is here.
We-we'll just keep going. Thanks very much.
- "I hate you."
- "I... "Just wanted to...
"Be there "for you and Josh.
"But--" - "i guess magic dick rod
"has it covered." Ugh!
- Look, she's thai, isn't she? - Yep.
- You should say something about ping pong.
- Oh, you're good, peg. Oh... that's good.
"Does she"...
"Do ping pong?"
Oh, shit! No, not-not "ping ping."
It's bloody-- oh, this damned auto-correct!
How do you-how do you get it to go back?
- I don't know. - Oh, shit!
Oh, no, here we go-- okay. - "Ping ping."
- Stupid fucking shit thing! Ping pong!
Here, use that.
- Hey, guys! - Hi.
- So good to see you. If you don't mind,
brought a salad. - Oh, well,
we're doing '70s theme. So... whatever.
- Oh, well, salad's salad. Now we have lots.
- Yeah, but it's not '70s. - How can a salad
be '70s, Claire? - So, we have some news.
Niamh is not pregnant. - Oh, yeah.
I thought i was, but I'm not. - Oh, thank god!
- Uh, so, how did you find out that you're not?
- We went to the g.P. Today and had a test.
- You only just got tested? - Well, yeah.
My period was late. It's usually like clockwork.
I was really getting into the idea of having
a little kid, too. - So, what-- I'm sorry.
You told everyone that you were pregnant
because your period was late? It's just, you know,
that sometimes that happens. Sometimes your period is late,
isn't it? - I think we just got
a bit carried away. - No, tom, can you really
not see how ridiculous it is to tell people
that you're pregnant because your period is late?
Did you even take a home test? - Well, niamh says
her period's like clockwork. - I knew-i knew that
she'd made it up-- i-didn't i not say that she'd made it up?
- She bamboozled you by talking about periods.
That's very cunning. - Uh, no-no-no-no, i didn't.
- You can get these home tests at the store, niamh.
You don't just tell people you're pregnant,
without taking a test. - You know, i-i don't
understand why you're so upset about this, Claire.
I mean, tom and i are the ones who have lost our baby.
- Tom and you never had the baby.
You lied to him because you thought that he was gonna
break up with you, obviously. - Uh, no!
I thought i was pregnant. - Geoffrey!
- Josh, i wanna talk to you. - Oh, no-no, not now.
- Now! - Can you guys just maybe--
just do me a favor and stop this fight for a bit, briefly?
It's just-i don't wanna miss it.
No? There's more cheese
in the fridge, if anybody wants some--
if you want some cheese.
- Tom and i made out, twice. - How could you do this to me?
When i was pregnant? - You were never pregnant.
- Well, you thought i was pregnant.
- It wasn't when you were not pregnant.
Well, the first time, but it was actually
when we were broken up, and the other time was drunk
and it didn't mean anything. - You're kidding me?
It meant nothing? You were-he was sobbing.
- No, it just-it just looked like i was sobbing
'cause it was raining. - You know, Claire,
i was-i was really, really wrong about you.
This whole time, i thought you were angry
'cause, well, you know, you're a little bit plain.
But, turns out, you're actually just a bitch.
- We really need to talk about what happened today.
- No, don't worry about it. I just-i called Claire
and we hung out-- it's fine. - You're dismissive
of my emotions. - Well, you were the one
who walked away, so-- - yeah, i was too hurt to stay.
- Can't this wait? - No, Josh, it can't.
Look, this is important to me. Okay, I'm-I'm supposed to be
important to you, so this should be
important to you. You know, every time we fight,
i don't know who to talk to because the only person i wanna
talk to is my best friend, and you're my best friend.
- Really? - I know i can
be annoying at times, but that's-it's part
of who i am, okay? And i wanna give you all of me.
The best parts and the worst. - Why do we have to put up
with the worst parts? - That's-that's what i want
from you, too, okay? All of you.
I don't care what comes with that.
- How could you do this to me? Homewreckers.
- Your home is made of lies. - Tom loves me.
- Oh, really? 'Cause that's not
the impression i got when i was in the shower with him.
- Look, this is-this fighting is very flattering.
I just think maybe we could stop now?
- You stole my man. - We were basically-we were
broken up at the time-- the first time.
- I'm not threatened. Tom-tom couldn't like you.
I mean, heterosexual boys never like you.
Do they, Claire? - Ha!
- Tom? - Yep.
- You coming? - Well, i don't know.
I was thinking-- I'm just not sure what to do.
- Oh, tom, what the fuck are you talking about?
Of course you're picking me. - Yeah, i am.
I'm just gonna stay here, if that's cool,
because she's quite right. - Okay.
- I'm sorry that it had to end like this.
- Fuck you. No, look, we should've
separated years ago, Alan. - I didn't wanna
leave you alone. - Oh, I'm not alone, Alan.
I'm fine. - Hi.
Uh, we're all done for the day. So, I'll call you later
and tell you how it went. - Yeah, good-- thanks.
Thank you.
Okay, peg. There's no more beer.
We gotta go inside.
Come on, show's over.
Peg?
- Stay.
Oh, Jesus.
- Look, i don't understand why, out of everyone,
you're the person i have to try the hardest to impress.
So, what do you think? Can we just-can we give this--
give us a better shot?
- Geoffrey, i just-- no.
No. I'm sorry.
