Love Me (2022–…): Season 2, Episode 1 - Sluta håll med - full transcript

CORA: He was just a busy boy.

Never still, always chasing.

JOSEPH: Yep. CORA:
New York, Paris, Rome.

I always said, "Why? We
have everything here."

But now, he's home.

So much happier,
yeah? And nicer.

Mm. Mum.

Nicer to Mum.

And can I just say, he's
always looked after me.

OK, Joseph... Really.

No, no, it's...



Thank you, but
that's uncomfortable.

He's made mistakes.
So many mistakes.

Yeah, but he'll stick by you.

All his other
girlfriends... Mostly.

..weren't like you.
Remember Tasma and Eva?

Tegan? PETER: Mum.

Oh, my god, Tegan. Mum.

They weren't even
girlfriends. What are you...

CORA: Maybe now he's
ready to settle down.

JOSEPH: Ooh.

Ooh, that's a question.

What do you reckon, Clara?

Is he ready?

Oh.



Thank you very much.

Is he?

PETER: Uncle Joseph has
been around since forever.

My mum likes to help out

the 'Pino Community
when they arrive

so, then they end
up becoming family.

I've got like 20 uncles
that aren't really my uncle.

Oh. So, what about Joseph?

Ah, Tito Joseph was the
first one, I think, yeah.

She's really lovely, your mum.

Yeah, she is.

She loves you.

I can tell.

♪ It's earnestly said

♪ My resolution is dead

♪ If you refuse to
see the sunlight

♪ Moving through
defenceless front lines

♪ I keep on finding your hair

♪ A constant presence of fear

♪ And difficulties more unknown

♪ The air is thicker
where I'm going... ♪

CLARA: Hey? Yeah.

Hey, why didn't you tell your
mum we're trying to make a baby?

Oh, fuck, Clara.

Um... 'Cause it you know,

be a long conversation about
marriage and a wedding.

Church wedding. Oh, I
think she really religious?

We might need to stop
talking about my mum.

Oh, sorry. Sorry.

OK.

What's all this?

What are we sure
they're not home?

Oh.

Well, they're in for a bit
of a show, if they are.

Actually, I think
they might be home.

I'm sorry.

We could always
take this inside.

OK. You wanna go inside?

Come on.

Come inside.

Come on, horsey.

MICHAEL: My advice?

Hold your tongue.

And volunteer for anything
that gets you out of the house.

Shopping, whatever.

Oh, no, no, no. I mean,
we don't live together.

Well, you get the best
of both worlds, then.

Oh. Oh, yes.

So, how many kids do you have?

Four. Four?

Each with a different...

Anyway, Aaron, I just wanted
to give you a quick heads up

about a meeting I set up
for you at 6:00 tonight,

with Karen Piper. KC.

She's looking for a
paralegal, mentoree

for an upcoming
hearing. High profile.

Big one, actually.

You'd be deep in the
discovery phase of the case,

interviewing,
researching and so on.

(PHONE BUZZES) Mm-hm. Sure.

This is a capital
O, opportunity,

so, you should do a little prep.

Wow. Ah, that's
amazing. Mm-hmm.

Thank you. Mm-hmm.

Yeah, I'll be here.

Six.

Six? Hmm?

Sorry, I've just gotta...
I've gotta take this, Michael.

Thanks.

You wanna get food later?

No, I've got that...

I've got those
make-up tests today.

I hope you come
home with eyeliner.

You OK?

Yeah.

Yes. Bye.

What? Clara?

Nothing.

Tell me if you hear
from the clinic.

PETER: Oh, yeah, of course.

You too.

ANITA: What have you got
on your list this week?

Ah, well I have you.

Oh, good.

I'm going to fix that.

Oh.

What, are you gonna paint it?

Well eventually, yeah,

but there's something
leaking up there.

And one day your
ceiling's going to fall in

and your insurance might not
cover damage from neglect.

My insurance won't
cover anything.

I don't have insurance.

I don't believe in it.

You what?

Look, I just don't believe

in giving my money
to big multinationals

who never pay up, anyway.

Look, I'd rather use my money to
travel and to, you know, live.

Yes, but, come on,
everyone has insurance.

Well, I don't.

What, you don't have any?

Nup.

Anyway, darling, I
don't think I've got

anything to fix that, I'm sorry.

No, no, I'm going to have
to go and get my tools.

Oh, you don't have any tools.

Of course, I have tools.

I used to do quite a lot
of things around the house.

Did you? Yeah.

Well, have you got a tool belt?

As a matter of fact, I do.

Ooh, maybe you can
wear that later.

Well, maybe I should
add that to my list.

SACHA: How's Peter's
mum? Gorgeous?

She's really lovely.

Very positive. Oh, really?

She should spend
some time with Vicky?

She always seems to be
in a mood at the moment.

She definitely wants
grandkids. Vicky?

No, Peter's mum. What?

Oh, yeah, sorry, I was...

OK, what is it?

What? Nothing.

Please.

OK, can you not react,
because it's nothing.

Yep.

I'm four days late. Oh.

But it's nothing, OK?

I haven't told Peter yet,
because I don't want to jinx it.

And we're getting fertility
results soon, maybe today,

so, I don't want to
jinx that either.

What are you doing?

Maybe you won't need the
stupid fertility results.

What, why are you embarrassed?

Everyone has sex, Clara.
I'm not embarrassed.

It's just sometimes sex
leads to a little tiny baby.

Do you want me to run the tap?

CLARA: No.

I should probably
do this with Peter.

Annoying, but fair.

Hi. Hi. Hi.

Yep.

You look great.

How's Ella?

What can I get for you, guys?

Um...

That one? Yeah.

Can we just do two of these?

Thank you. Thanks.

Yeah, Ella, she's good.

She's um, you know, she's good.

How long to go?

Three weeks and two days.

Three weeks until you're a dad.

Oh, fuck.

I cannot believe it.

Do you want to see a picture?

Sure.

We're good.

We're just working
around the baby

and you know, trying to not
let it change our lives.

But yeah, Ella's writing
music, it's really good.

And she's seeing
someone, I think.

I just couldn't
believe you called.

Yeah, I'm...

I don't really know why I did.

Mm.

♪ I've been feeling some of that
shit I don't believe in... ♪

Can we do this again?

Yeah. Yeah?

Tomorrow?

Um, maybe not tomorrow, but...

OK, yeah. Next week?

Ah, yeah. Definitely.

Lock it in. OK.

Yeah.

OK, bye.

Bye.

(PHONE BUZZING)

Fuck.

Dad. Hi, darling.

How is she? Exciting.

Have you seen him?

Yeah, yeah, no, no,
he was just here.

He's, he's, he's gone back in.

I think he's a bit worried

because you know, the
baby's a bit early

but I think he'd be really
pleased that you're here.

He said something about...

I hope you found your belt
because I seem to have lost mine.

Oh, and it came off so
suddenly I didn't have time...

Oh, shit, sorry. ..for pants.

Um... ANITA: Oops.

Sorry.

He said something...
It's fine.

He said something about
what? Aaron? Ella.

Um... The baby.

No, no, no, no,
no, no, just um...

No, something
about the position.

I'll be right back.

(PHONE RINGS)

Hello? Hello.

Look I'm so sorry, I was...

I was going to come back,
but Aaron's having his baby.

I mean, Ella's gone into
labour and I'm at the hospital.

Um... ANITA: Oh,
that's fantastic.

Yeah. Is there a
problem, at all?

Mum's fine. Good.

There's a slight question
about bub's position

but nothing to worry
about at this stage.

Is she OA or OP?

We're not sure, which is why...
Why not just do an ultrasound?

Yep. Yeah.

Just what I need today.

OK. Sorry.

That's alright.

Aaron'll be so
pleased you're here.

Can you stay for a bit?

Well...

Ah, yeah, I've got
paperwork, but yeah, yeah.

Ah, that was Anita on the phone.

Sorry, I was meant to meet her.

Sounds like a Beatles
song, doesn't it?

Anita meet her.

You know she doesn't
have insurance?

Who, Ella? No, Anita.

Oh, everyone has insurance.

That's what I said.

Do you mean medical insurance?

No, I mean any insurance.

House, car, medical.

She thinks it's
betting on losing.

I mean, she just thinks that
between now and when she dies,

it's so unlikely the
house'll burn down

that all that money
could be better spent,

which is, I s'pose, but...

I mean, you know it's...

Hi. Hey.

Hi, Peter.

Hi. Oh.

I didn't mean, you
didn't have to come.

No, no, I just, I thought
that I would swing by or,

you know, I could stay.

That'd be lovely. I
mean, it could be hours.

Like your outfit. Thanks.

You know, all the, you know,
the whole unbuttoned thing.

I mean, I couldn't pull that off

but you've got such, you know,
really you've got such smooth skin.

Oh, no, no, um, no,
this is bronzer.

I um... Oh.

..I just came from a shoot

and when I got the
text I rushed over.

Oh, I see.

I was at the house
getting my toolkit.

Toolkit? Yeah.

Are you OK?

Don't know what's so
strange about that, really.

Yeah, I'm starving.

Is there a ah...

Yeah, there's a snack machine.

Oh, yeah, cool, cool.
Snack. Great idea.

Glen, do you want anything?

Yeah, actually a cup of
black tea'd be really...

Alright.

Clara, could you get me
maybe a muesli bar or...

Yep. Thanks.

The fertility clinic
just called me.

Oh, and?

And they want us to come in
for a consultation tomorrow.

So, I don't know.

It's not necessarily
a bad thing?

No, that's not good, Peter.

Well, I mean, we
don't know that.

They don't...

Peter, I'm too old.

No, don't say that, OK?

OK, we're just going to wait
and hear what they have to say.

I won't stay long.

Oh, no, please do.

Oh, this smells
absolutely delicious.

Oh, good.

Oh, hi. Hi.

Ooh, what have you got there?

Look what we've got.

Oh, help yourselves.

Come on, tuck in. Thank you.

Gotta be better
than hospital food.

Can you pass me... Clara
was getting me a muesli bar.

Oh.

The machine wasn't working.

No, no, no, no,
laksa's much better.

That's all I meant.

Oh, wow.

This is amazing.
Thanks, Anita.

Ah, pleasure.

Peter, do you have
insurance? Oh, Dad.

GLEN: No, I'm curious.

For my car?

Oh, any insurance.

Mm, everyone's got
insurance, don't they?

Yeah, you'd think so.

Why do I feel like I'm
walking into a trap?

BOTH: Because you are.

Perhaps I could extend my
insurance to cover you.

No, thank you.

Were you cooking this
when you got the call?

Yes, I was, actually.

I was looking for my
toolbelt when I got the call.

Oh, come on, Dad. What?

Well, first you have a toolkit,
now you've got a toolbelt?

Come on. What's so
strange about that?

I used to do lots of
things around the house.

You were not a handyman. Ohh.

AARON: Hi. What is
that fucking smell?

Um, it's laksa.

Well, can you please get rid
of it? It's gonna make me spew.

Oh, my goodness, I'm so sorry.

It is a powerful smell.

Sorry, yeah. How're you
guys doing? Of course.

The midwife said we should just
go for a walk down the ward.

Get things moving along.
I'm so sorry, Glen.

No, no, no, no, no. Sorry.

Don't be silly.

It's in the right position.

It's gonna be
great, Aaron. OK.

OK, well I might be off.

Oh, really? Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Well, let's have that
later. Yeah, sure.

OK, bye-bye, aunty.
Oh, thank you.

And uncle. Oh.

OK.

I'll see you later.

I'll show you out.

OK, darling.

What is it?

I'm four days late.

Five tomorrow.
Are you serious?

I don't think we should
get excited about it...

Yeah but... ..because
it's too early and...

Why didn't you say anything?

You know, maybe we
don't have to... Shh.

What?

BOTH: Nothing.

Wonder how far they're walking.

Not yet.

Sorry, sweetheart?

Oh, er, not yet. They're
not back yet, sorry.

Bathroom?

Um, yeah, I think and around.

OK.

Is everything
alright? You right?

I don't want to do this.

No, no, no, you're
going to be great.

I don't want to. I can't.
Hey, you're gonna be great.

I can't do it. I can't.

It's going to be the
best experience, OK?

And before you know it,

before you know it
our baby's gonna be...

Wait, don't answer
it. Don't answer it.

It's... Wait, who is it?

It's your mum.

Mum, yeah, where have you been?

I've been trying to call you.

What?

When?

No, I was just...

Yeah, I was wondering
why you hadn't responded.

No, no, no, Aaron
will come and get you.

Where? Where? Yeah,
yeah, yeah, he wants to.

4cm.

OK. OK, OK, yeah.

OK, bye.

What the hell. My mum's here.

What's that? She's here? Yeah.

Really?

She wanted to surprise me
and stay until the baby came,

but she's here now. Wow.

Can you go and get her,
please? From the airport?

Yeah. No, no, no, no.

She can just get a taxi. No.

Aaron, my mum has just
flown 25 hours to get here

to meet her first grandchild.

You can't get in a fucking taxi.

OK, OK, OK, I can
go grab her, yeah.

I can go grab
her, yeah? OK? OK.

I just don't want to leave
you here, that's all.

Yeah. OK?

I'm going to go get
Clara's keys, alright?

OK? OK.

Here she is.

KEL: How does that feel?

So, shit.

Can I borrow your car?

I've just gotta go pick up
Ella's mum from the airport.

Oh. What are you
talking about?

She can't get a taxi?

No, Clara, she's
from England, OK?

Aaron, you need to stay
here in case the baby comes.

OK. OK?

So, I can go and get her, or...

That... That, yes, you go.
Great, I'm going to go get her.

You sure?

Yeah. Thank you.

Thank you. Thank you. Thank you.

Ah, sorry.

Oh, don't be silly.
No, you go back in.

Yes.

Yep, alright.

Hey.

I gotta go.

Yes, me too.

Um, we're going to
go grab some dinner.

No, we're not. Come on.

Can't she get a taxi?

Apparently not, because
she's from England, Peter.

Well, why don't we
do the test now?

I can just do it
when I get home.

Yeah, but it'll only
take two minutes...

I don't want to do the
test, Peter. Sorry.

I just, I think um,
right now it's possible

that I'm pregnant, and I
just kind of want to live

in that possibility for a bit.

OK. Bye.

See you at home.

Drive safe.

What's happening? Just...

Argh fuck. I missed
the Karen Piper.

Um... What is...

MICHAEL: This is Michael.

Michael, hi.

Hi. I'm just at the hospital.

Everything's, everything's fine.

Everything's under control.

Look I missed that interview and
I'm really, really sorry, mate.

And you know, I'm sure we
can work something out.

Um, but yeah, thanks a lot.

OK. Bye.

Fuck.

Why'd I call him mate?

What happened? What happened?

I just, no, I just...

Does this sound bad?

"You need to work
out your priorities.

"When I was your age,

"I didn't get an
opportunity like that."

Aaron, you're not expected to
miss the birth of your child.

Yeah, I know, I know.

So, today and
tomorrow and you know,

however long it takes is about
you and Ella and the baby.

OK? That's all.

Yeah.

You should go home, Dad.

No, no, I'm OK.

No, seriously, she's
only like 5cm. OK?

The walk didn't really
do anything. Ah.

So, she's just gonna
rest and try again later.

Oh, right. Well, um...

But I'll text
you. OK. Alright.

Bye.

I'm really proud of you.

Yeah. OK.

Yeah.

Drive safe. Yep.

Slowly. Bye-bye.

Good flight, Dianne?

Long.

Well, looks like you
got here just in time.

Is this your first grandchild?

Yes.

So, tell me about your brother.

Does he have other children?

What? No.

No.

He's a child himself.

And I understand
your mother died.

Yeah, yeah, she did, last year.

But you have children?

No. Not yet.

12 years of study
got in the way.

And geriatric pregnancies, they
require a bit of extra effort.

Did you freeze?

No.

There's gotta be some left in
there somewhere, though, right?

Are you in a relationship?

Yeah.

And does he want
children? Or she?

Very much, yeah.

We both do.

It's funny, isn't it?

This need to have children.

Yes, I'm sure.

John, you're not
listening to me.

Just...

You just don't seem to listen.
I don't how many times.

No.

Oh, hey. Hi.

Any baby yet?

Ah, no.

No, she's...

Ella, she's still only 5cm,

so, she's um, gonna have a
rest and then she'll try again.

Great.

Oh, shut up.

Oh, darling, I'm really tired.

I think I'm going to go to bed.

I'll see you in bed.

Right.

You sure?

Of course.

Whatever happens.

Yep.

It's negative.

You're not joking, are you?

Like, because if you're pregnant,
this is how you'd make a joke.

It's OK.

Hey.

We'll try again, and again.

We can try on the bench again,
we can try on the couch,

we can try on the stairs.

We can try over there.

Just keep trying and we'll keep
trying until we run out of ways.

Then we've gotta figure out
new ways and new positions.

And then we'll find a way
and then we'll make the baby.

Can we try now? Yes, we can.

Hey Dad, what are we
having for dinner tonight?

What...

Ah, hey. Max,
great, you're here.

Hey.

You want some tea, Max?

No.

Oh, my god.

We should start in the bedroom.

OK.

Hi.

You OK?

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

I'm fine.

I just wanted to
hear your voice.

That was really nice today.

Yeah.

What's wrong? Are you drunk?

What? No. No, no.

I'm sorry, I'm just at
the hospital right now.

Ella's in labour.

Is everything OK with her?

Yeah, yeah, everything's fine.
Everything's, it's just, um...

It's just a lot, you know?

Yeah.

And I just miss my
best friend, you know?

♪ Oh but I believe in love

♪ But I believe in love

♪ And it's not my place
not my place to say

♪ Oh but you're in trouble now

♪ Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh... ♪

OK, I think you can
just say it, now.

I'm too old. My
eggs have dried up.

Let's... I'm fine. No,
we don't know that.

We don't know that.

Clara, your egg count is in
pretty good shape, actually,

for someone your age.

Yeah, it's entirely likely

that you could achieve
a geriatric pregnancy.

Under normal circumstances.

But unfortunately, Peter,

it's never easy to
give this sort of news.

You have very low
sperm motility.

According to this analysis,

it's unlikely that you'd
find it easy to conceive.

Well, because I have a son.

I had him when I was 19, so...

OK.

Fertility, it changes over time.

Alcohol, smoking, drug
abuse, infection, diet pills.

All sorts of things can
contribute to fertility

and it's not impossible that
you could father a child,

it's just, yeah,
it's not likely.

OK, so Clara.

Mm.

Let's say that um, that
this bus is your egg,

and then these little characters,
they're Peter's sperm.

And they want to get
onto the bus, right?

They're trying to find the door

but for some reason we
don't fully understand,

they're just banging around
on the outside going,

"Yeah, I wanna come
in. I wanna do my job."

But they, you know, they're
just not getting in there.

I mean, for us, we
can see the door.

We're going, "Go in the
door, for goodness sake."

Their heart's in
the right place.

They may be trying at the
back... Yeah, it's fine. We...

..and they've gone, "Oh,
we're on the wrong side.

"What are we doing? You can't
get in from underneath..."

Yeah, we get the bus.

Can we please discuss
what our options are now?

Look, I think it's probably a
little bit too soon to be...

What do you mean?
..thinking about options.

I think we should
focus on health.

You know, let's reduce

alcohol, caffeine, sugar.

Ah... (PHONE BUZZES)

I mean, I don't really
do any of that stuff.

I work out a lot.

That's great.

And you know I encourage you to
maintain that healthy lifestyle,

but maybe there's
some other factors

like possibly stress
can also contribute.

So, maybe...

It's a girl.

It's a beautiful little girl.

Where are my keys? Keys, keys?

They're in your hand.

Oh, yes. Right, um...

I'm ready, you ready?

Ah, I might come a bit
later. Do you mind?

Oh, really?

Well, I think it should
just be family for now.

Oh, but you come
on, you are family.

Yeah, but look, I didn't
sleep well last night.

I'm just going to
have a bit of rest.

There's plenty of
time to meet her.

Yeah, of course. OK.

Alright, alright.

Bye. Bye-bye.

Bye, grandad.
