Love Me (2022–…): Season 1, Episode 6 - Episode #1.6 - full transcript

- Clara.

- Hey.

- Did something happen?

- No.

- Then why did you just leave?

- Well, I didn't
assume I was staying.

- But you left without
saying anything.

- I texted.

- Can't stay.

You don't just leave.

- I think you should
watch "Fast and Furious".



I don't wanna get in the way.

- You're not getting in the way.

I can focus on more
than one thing.

Something else is going on here.

Don't make me beg
for an explanation.

Can you talk to me?

- I'm so sorry, I can't.

I have to go to bed.

I think I just get
some sleep and then...

- I'm in love with you, Clara.

And I don't want you
to play games with me,

because I'm too old for that.

Have a good sleep.

- Were you
trying to get rid of me?



- Dad, what are you...

- I'm sorry.

I suppose I was trying
to feel better sooner.

Grief doesn't really
work like that, does it?

I'm really sorry about
surprising you last night.

You know, Anita and I don't
need to get married immediately,

or at all, if...

You know, if that's
something that's too painful-

- Dad, it's fine.

If it makes you happy,
you should just...

But thank you.

You left that ugly chair.

- Yeah, I couldn't find it.

I think someone
must have taken it.

- It was probably a good thing.

- It was awful.

Oh.

- Good morning.

- Morning.

Went for some air.

Bit of an early morning walk.

- Very early.

- Yeah, I'm sorry.

I went to get Christine's things

and put them back in her room.

- Do you feel better?

- I do, yeah.

- Does Aaron feel better?

- Yep.

He does.

- Well, that's good.

Why don't you go back to bed?

- No, no, no, I'm up now.

And I want to write a list.

We've got too much to
organize for our wedding.

- Hey.

Are you sure?

- Yes, I'm sure.

If you are.

- Yes.

- What's going on?

- I'm so hard to be with, Sacha.

Just for moment I wanna
feel what it's like

to be a warm person.

- Got a busy day?

- Just Road Transport Act.

- I've gotta get to class.

- I don't know how to do this.

- Me either.

- Yeah, last night just...

I don't know if it is good or...

It happened.

We can't unkiss.

- I'm glad we can't unkiss.

- Yeah, me too.

What do we do?

Now?

- Maybe there's an age where
you learn to be with someone

and I missed it, because...

- Use your words.

- Sorry, I just focused
on study and career

and now I'm stuck in my ways.

- Listen, I'm married,

and I don't know how
to be with someone.

Alright, that looks fun.

Give it to me.

- He told me he loves me.

- Sorry, that's not funny.

He should love you.

That's great.

- I couldn't say anything back.

He said, "I love you,
I'm in love with you,"

is what he said, and this is me.

I just wanted him to go.

Go away!

Isn't that awful?

- I love Vicky, but I
often want her to go away.

At least, like, more
often than not, and Aisha.

I love them but I also
kind of hate them.

It's true.

They can be arseholes.

And it's a pain to love them.

- I think maybe...

Maybe I'm a bit too selfish.

- Oh, you're very selfish.

All we talk about is you.

Come on!

It's fine.

My life's boring and I love
making fun of your life.

But jeez, you're very
mean to yourself.

Come on, you met this guy
the same time your mum died.

Of course, it's confusing
and hard, but...

Just accept that he loves you.

Hey?

He loves you.

Despite your many,
many flaws and faults.

And you clearly love him.

- Then why do I feel shit?

- I don't know, 'cause
sometimes you just feel shit.

It's love.

- Max hates me.

- What?

Buy him lollies.

- He's 16.

- All kids love lollies.

- Okay, yeah, I know.

It was absolutely hilarious,

but if you can put
it in the report,

that would be amazing.

Thank you.

Morning.

- No, afternoon.

- I just got invited
to my own wedding,

someone posted it
on the internet.

- I put it up, it's
from both of us.

- What, to everyone?

What happened to low-key?

- Oh, it's just to my friends.

- You can't put wedding
invitations on these things.

- There's no time to
mail invitations, Glen.

- Yeah, but how will
we know who's RSVP'd?

I mean, a whole bunch of
strangers could show up.

- It's private.

They tick yes, no or interested.

Hey, listen, I looked up
the 25 words or less page,

but there were no
holiday prizes.

We don't really need
a honeymoon, do we?

- Ah...
- I mean, we just got back.

- Yeah.

- What's next on your list?

- Oh.

Oh, flowers.

- Okay.

I know this fantastic
place that rescues flowers

when they've still got a day
or two left from, you know,

restaurants and weddings.

I once got 12
bunches for 80 bucks.

I'll send you the link.

- Okay.

Well, that, that sounds alright.

Ah, food.

- Oh, there's this beautiful
place on Smith Street,

the food is delicious.

I'll download the menu
and I'll send it to you.

And so we can just get a whole
bunch of different dishes,

you know, savory and sweet.

They do these stunning
little single-serve sweets.

Oh, my god, they are to die for.

And then all we need to do
is just get some crispy bread

and we're done.

- Yeah, but like, they're not
wedding caterers, are they?

- No, they're culinary masters.

- Yeah, but that's not what I...

Okay.

Alright, I'll get
the cake organized.

- What, do we need a cake?

As well as the sweets?

- It's a wedding, Anita!

I mean, we need a wedding cake.

- Okay, yeah.

Well, you organize that.

It sounds good.

- I think you should
probably wipe that up,

'cause it, it bakes
in if you leave it.

- Hi.

That's for you.

So, I know you're
not crazy about me,

but we'll work that out.

And, of course, I'm gonna
give you all the time

that you want with your Dad.

Hi.

- Hey.

- I just...

I want to say I'm really
sorry about last night.

I'm so bad at this.

I guess it takes me a
while to trust someone,

and my mum died just
when you came along,

so our timing...

The timing of us has been
really difficult for me.

I know I'm not an easy
person to be with, but...

I think maybe, I mean...

Maybe I'm ready to give
this thing a real go

and actually see
where it takes us.

So, yeah.

Say something.

- Has someone been eating these?

- Hey, Max, can you
give us a minute?

Do you wanna sit down?

- Mm-hm.

- Yeah.

Thanks for all that.

I know that losing your
mum has knocked you around

more than you want to show.

But, I can't.

- What?

You don't wanna-

- No, I want to, Clara.

But I'm not sure you do.

- Did you not just
hear what I said?

- Yeah, I heard what you said.

I'm just not sure you did.

There are so many caveats.

I think, maybe, and
I might actually,

or let's just see
where this goes.

I can't be with someone and
it's really not fair to Max,

that, just wants to
see where this goes.

And I'm afraid that you'll bolt
the moment things get hard.

I'm sorry.

- Okay.

Alright.

- Yeah.

- Okay.

Right, well goodbye then.

Thanks for hearing me out.

- That sponge,
that's my favorite.

That's so light and fluffy.

What do you think?

- Oh yeah, love the sponge.

- Sponge it is.

Right, when's the big day?

- Saturday.

- This Saturday?

Oh no, we need at least
six weeks for cake orders.

- Oh.

Do you have anything
that could be ready?

- Fruitcakes.

We make them well in advance.

- Alright, well,
yeah, fruitcake it is.

- You hated the fruitcake.

- Yeah, but we
need a cake, Anita.

- Well, why don't we
just go to the bakery?

- Because this isn't a
party, it's a wedding,

and you can't have a wedding
without a wedding cake!

We'll take the fruitcake.

- Ella.

I think we need to stop.

I think you need to stop
contacting me, okay?

It's getting stalky, and
I'm trying to move on.

- I'm pregnant.

- Fuck.

- Mm-hm.

- Fuck!

- He got them back?

- Yeah.

Mum's things.

- Oh, that dress.

Why were we so
mean to each other?

- Clara.

Ella's just told me
that she's pregnant.

- Oh, wow.

And...

- She's sure it's mine.

- No, is she gonna have it?

- I guess I don't get
any choice in the matter.

- No, you don't.

- It's a bit unfair
though, don't you reckon?

It's my life too.

- You had a choice, you
didn't wear protection.

Just don't be a shit dad.

Okay?

Don't be absent,
you'll regret it.

- Yeah, okay.

- You'll be great.

I'm sorry.

- Where's the...

The sugar keeps moving around.

- Oh, it's in here.

- Oh.

- Oh, I love these.

Do you know these?

Pop-up concerts by candlelight.

They do them in old, abandoned
buildings and churches.

- Do you have to have
your feet on the table?

- Beg your pardon?

- It's generally
considered a bit, you know,

to have your feet on the table.

- Well, it's not considered,
you know, in this house.

What's wrong with you?

Well, you seem...

It's almost since you
asked me to marry you,

you've been very uptight.

- I'm not uptight.

- You're certainly
behaving differently

to how you were before.

- Well, we were on holiday.

- So what, that wasn't you?

- No, that was me.

Right, it's just there's
no, you know, in your house.

- No, what?

- Order.

- What the hell does that mean?

- Well, like, the way
you do things, I mean,

I just don't know how you
keep track of anything, right?

The invitations for example.

I mean, your friends
clicking interested.

What does that mean, interested?

- It means they're
interested in coming.

- Yes, but are
they coming or not?

I mean, how do we seat
interested people?

- They sit on seats!

If there aren't enough seats,
they can stand up the back.

We could drag in more seats.

- Exactly.

There's no system at all.

It's just ridiculous.

- What, so I'm ridiculous now?

- Well, look, if you think
this chaotic approach

to everything can work, yeah.

- Well, I don't know
what's going on.

This is me, Glen.

I'm not Christine
and I'm not you.

I'm not gonna
apologize for that.

Right now, you're
just being mean.

I'm not gonna fight like this.

- Oh, God.

- So why are you marrying her?

- Because she makes me...

I feel different with her.

Lighter.

More spontaneous.

- Well, you're not being very
spontaneous now, are you?

- Good strong heart.

- Can you tell
who the father is?

Sorry, no, obviously,
obviously not.

Just forget I said that.

Sorry.

- I cannot fucking believe
that you asked that.

- Wait.

Ella, I wasn't thinking, okay?

- Yeah, of course, you
weren't fucking thinking.

- You know this is
hard for me, too.

- Oh, there it is.

You know it only took you one
day to make it about yourself.

One day.

- No, that's not what I'm doing.

- Yes, it is.

And do you know what?

It's obviously yours.

I'm 100% sure.

But you're so more than welcome

to get a fucking paternity test

or whatever when it's born.

- I'm sorry.

I mean, that was
intense, wasn't it?

I mean, the heart.

I wanna do the right thing.

- What does that mean?

- It means I wanna be there
for you and the baby, okay?

I don't wanna be a shit dad.

Maybe...

I don't know maybe
we could try again.

Can't we?

I mean...

- No.

You need to chill out.

- What?

- No, because that's
not what you want.

You're overwhelmed or something.

- I'm not, I just-

- Yes, you are. Aaron, I
want to co-parent with you.

I don't want to
get back together.

We're too different.

We don't work.

You know this.

Okay, I'm gonna go.

- Okay.

Bye.

- Bye.

- Oh.

Kevin didn't pick up his
birthday cake from the bakery,

so I thought we could use it.

I'm so sorry about
being, you know...

Thank you for not
putting up with it.

I really love you.

Will you still have me?

- Come here.

Kevin.

- The lights are all up,
the flowers, the cake.

It's not traditional.

It's a very low-key affair,

although we are spending
the night apart,

so there is a little
bit of tradition, but...

- Wow, that's fun.

- Yeah.

I just sent you something
though, on email,

and I was wondering
if you could read it.

- Now?

- Yeah, and at the
ceremony, tomorrow.

- Oh, Dad, I don't know if
I'm the right person to...

- No, you're the only person
I want to read at the wedding.

And it's just a small passage,

and it would mean
the world to me.

- I mean, yeah.

Yeah, I'll read it.

- Darling, thank you,
thank you, thank you,

thank you so much.

Thank you.

I've sent it through on email.

- Okay, yep.

- Okay.

Alright.

Alright, thank you.

- Okay, bye.

Get some sleep.

- Yes, I will.

Okay, bye, darling.

Bye-bye.

- Bye.

Bye.
- Bye-bye.

- Hi, Ben.

- Glen.

- This is Glen.

- Murray.

Murray.

- Oh, the champagne.

- There you go.

- Thank you.

- Do you do ice?

- Yeah, over there.

- $10.

- $10?

- Yeah, 10 bucks.

Have a good day.

- Hello.

Lovely to see you both.

- This is for you.

- Oh?

Oh, that is
absolutely beautiful.

Thank you so much.

- You're welcome.

- Can you turn around, please?

- Terribly.

- Oh, thank you.

This is Aaron.

This is Vicky and Mark.

- Has Clara called you?

- No.

- Okay.

You alright?

- Yeah.

- You sure?

- Yeah.

Why don't we get started?

Excuse me.
- Excuse me.

- We can't really start
because Clara's not here yet.

- I did so well.

I didn't get drunk
before the cake.

- Can I talk to you?

- Yeah.

What is it?

- Sorry.

Thanks.

- Hi, how you doing?

- I don't wanna lose
you, Jess, but I can't...

- What?

- I can't
lose you over this.

- Over what?

- Just hear me out, before...

- Aaron.

- So,

Ella's pregnant.

And she wants to have the baby.

I didn't know.

When we kissed,
it was after that.

It's just, terrible timing.

- Fucking hell, Aaron.

- Yeah, I know.

I know.

- Why did you have
to tell me here?

- I'm sorry.

It doesn't have to mean...

Okay, I mean, you don't
have to do anything.

Nothing.

We can...

- I can't.

- I'm sorry.

I really am.

- Hey.

- What?

- Oh.

Hi, Max.

- Dad's not here.

Left his phone behind.

- Oh, okay, okay.

Where is he?

- Gone to get dinner.

- Max, I really
need to find him.

Can you please let me
know where he's gone?

- Japanese, I
think, like, Otoro.

- Okay, thanks.

- Or the pizza place, maybe?

- Okay, right, thank you.

- Peter.

Peter!

Peter!

Peter!

Hey!

Oh, sorry.

- Was there a Peter?

Was there an order for Peter?

- Was there an order
for Peter? Pizza?

A pizza order for Peter?
- It doesn't matter.

- It's okay.

- Peter!

- Let's catch up soon, yeah?

- Yeah, yeah.

Clara?

- Oh, hi.

- Hey.

- Sorry, hi.

- This is Sara, Hazem's wife.

- Hey.

- Hi!

Hi.

Sorry.

You're busy.

I thought you were just
getting pizza, but...

- Yeah, I am.

I just bumped into these guys.

- Oh, I don't know
what I'm doing...

Sorry.

- Sorry.

Clara?

Clara.

Hey.

Clara.

Hey.

- Oh, shit!

Sorry.
- Sorry.

Sorry.

- Sorry.

I'm on my way to Dad's wedding.

And I'm late.

But I'll just...

Maybe I'll say this
one thing before I go

and we never see
each other again.

I mean, hopefully, that's not...

Perhaps I'll be one of the
lucky ones who are brave

because it doesn't
just happen, does it?

You have to be brave
to invite luck in.

- What are you saying?

- I've just been...

You either risk breaking
your heart or you don't.

And I would be lucky
to have a second chance

at breaking my...

It can exist, love,
with other things.

With fear, and with anxiety
and with grief and...

It just has to be allowed.

And I just fucking love you,

and I can't stop
thinking about you and...

I want to be in all of my
days in the future with you.

And fuck my feet are hurt.

They're hurting so bad.

- A second chance
is a precious thing.

It must be sought out, earned.

You own the book of the
past, keep it on the shelf,

while being brave enough
to open a new one.

And we are only as brave
as those closest to us

allow us to be.

Those who show us
that love exists

in the darkest of corners.

Alongside fear, and grief...

It's always there, just
waiting to be found.

As Rumi wrote, "You have
to keep breaking your heart

until it opens."

- So, this is a big surprise.

How did you...

- I saw the post.

Just forgot to say.

- Oh, Glen, these
are my cousins.

This is Alex and Henry.

- Hello, Alex.

Hello, Henry.

Hello.

- Oh, I love this song.

Come and dance.

- Alright.

Lovely to meet you all.

- Do you wanna have a baby?
