Summer Love (2022–…): Season 1, Episode 7 - Hannah & Alex - full transcript

♪ Summer love is like no other love

♪ Ooh, yeah

♪ Summer love is like no other love

♪ Ooh... ♪

Thousands are
presumed dead in what's been called

the most devastating earthquake
in a century.

And further north, catastrophic
blizzards hit the east coast

of the United States.

Back home, the soaring temperatures
continue to impact farmers,

devastating crops and leading
to an escalation of food prices...

..concerning welfare groups.



And the space race is on.

Jeff Bezos has announced
he's set to leave this planet...

..on another expedition to space
in the coming weeks,

while Elon Musk and Kanye West
prepare for their joint departure.

It's the battle of the billionaires.

Now to the weather.

A top of 43 tomorrow with an
unseasonable cool change on the way.

You're back with Virginia Trioli.

Coming up, I'll be talking
to psychologist Dr Mahi Jordan

about her new book,

What Do You Want?
How Aspirationalism Has Shaped Us.

Mum! What are you doing?

Nothing. I'm coming.

There's nothing to eat.



Did you get the chips?

No!
Well, can I get another game, then?

No. What's that got to do with chips?
I never get anything.

Oh, can you please take something in?

Oh, Jesus.

What are you doing?

I'm coming.

Has my sleep apnoea machine
arrived yet?

Check the doorstep.

What are we having for dinner?

I don't know.

Probably one of the four meals
we've had on rotation

for the last three years.

Unless you actually want
to open the Hetty McKinnon cookbook

you asked me to get
for your birthday.

Probably won't.

No.

OK. Good. Fine.

Oh, can you help me with the...

Come on. It's not cold.

Promise!

Whoo!

Oh, hey. You must be in a dead spot.

I'm here.

It's so good.

And quiet and...

..very secluded.

All you can see
is our bit of the beach.

So, yeah, I did good.

OK.

Hurry up so I don't have to
feel guilty or whatever, by myself.

Bye.

No.

Oh. Oh! Raphie. Hi.

Where are the bandaids?

Where they always are,
in the bathroom cupboard. Why?

Got blisters from my soccer boots.

Oh, from your new ones?

Dad let me wear the old ones.
Why would you...?

They're two sizes too small,
for goodness sake.

The new ones were very expensive.

We won!
What?!

Oh, wow!

Did you get any goals?

I had to play on the other team
'cause only two players showed up.

Oh.
There are no bandaids!

Yes, there are. Show me.

Yeah, they're right there,
on the left.

No. Left!

The other side, darling.

Where's your dad?

Asleep on the couch. Bye, Mum.

- You done?
- Mm-hm.

Mmm. Watch it.

I'm sorry.

What jeans are those?

Um... I don't know.

Think you've lost weight?

Mm-mm.

OK. I'm starting to worry now.

Are you coming
or have you changed your mind?

Can you just call or text
or something?

Erm... of course you're coming.

You wouldn't just... Sorry.

Uh... OK.

Well, I've booked
that hatted restaurant.

Uh, and one other thing.
That's a surprise surprise.

So... hurry up. We're gonna miss it.

Hope you haven't eaten too much
on the trip,

'cause it's one of those
big set menu thing...

Is that you?

Oh, I think you're here!

Oh! Cheap prosecco.

Why didn't you answer the phone?

Oh. Maybe I'm on the... the wi-fi,
not the phone thingy.

OK. Got to go. Bye.

No, you're not funny! It's too cold!

They're alright.

Come on!

Who was on the phone?
Mum.

She's booked the colonoscopy.
Oh, I forgot to call her back.

No need. I can give you the details.

All of them.

Your hair smells weird.
Oh. Lice shampoo.

Ew.
What?

You prefer I brought the lice?
No.

So I just had a car accident.

What?
Yes.

What do you mean?
Oh, I knew something had happened.

You can't talk and drive!
No!

Are you OK?
I wasn't on the phone.

I went into the back
of a massive fuckin' fancy SUV.

Oh, shit.
I think it was a Mercedes.

Shit. Was anyone hurt?
Well... no.

Was there much damage to the cars?

They had a huge tow bar, so...
dented my numberplate.

Is that all?

Yep.

Then why did you say it like that?

Like what?

Dramatically!

Oh.
I was expecting...

You always do that.

Do what?
Exaggerate.

Well... it's a pretty boring story
if I didn't.

It's stressful. It makes me stressed.
You do it too.

I'm sorry, OK?
I'm fine. The car's fine.

You can see that.

Well...

..good.

How'd it happen?

I was singing.
Oh. What?

"People who need people".

I was going for the harmony.

Oh, it's a big sing.
Yes.

I didn't see
the traffic had stopped.

I mean,
it's Streisand's fault really.

Don't you dare blame Babs.

God, I needed a sing.

How good is it?
My playlist?

No, the house.

It's a bit fancy.

I would have been fine at the motel.

Where Rob thinks we are? No, thanks.

Who wants to holiday
somewhere worse than home?

Oh, Han.
I don't think I can afford this.

It's my shout. I told you.
Gosh!

Now I just feel bad.

Rob must hate me.
Oh, don't be stupid.

I put everything on the credit card.
Rob never checks.

Oh, shit. We've got to go.
What?

Where? Can I just get a drink?
No.

We'll be late.
For what?

The fun surprise!
Oh!

Party for one, was it?

You were 2.5 hours late,
for fuck's sake. Hurry up!

I don't like to keep people waiting.

I'm sorry, OK?
You said 1:30. I didn't.

I didn't realise it was, like, a...
We've got one night.

I negotiated an early check-in
so we could actually have some...

We don't have two cars like you.
..time.

I had to drop Jacob at this...
bloody ninja workshop.

You dropped him in those?

What? You're wearing a tracksuit.

It's cashmere.

A cashmere tracksuit?
It's a leisure suit.

Anyway.

I'd arranged for Violet's mum
to drop him home,

but he cried so much at drop-off,
I had to stay for ages!

Oh, God.
Ow!

It was horrific!

Parents shouldn't watch.
Well, no wonder he was crying.

Yeah, well,
I left the minute that he stopped,

directly before he ran up
a 12-foot wall.

He's probably broken his neck
by now.

Why didn't you get Violet's mum
to take him?

Because I don't like asking, OK?

God, I'm sorry.
I know, but you can keep me waiting.

Christ!

You used to be a happy drunk.

I'm not drunk!

I had one glass.

Hi!

No! They're not greeting us.

They are reprimanding us.

No, they're not.

Maybe reprimanding your trackpants.

Oh, God!
This... this is not a path, OK?

Ow! Ow!

Can we just walk along the beach?
Can you slow down?

No time!

At least tell me where we're going!

I'm very parched.

I bought us a couples pedicure.

A pedicure?!

A couples pedicure.
Oh, oh!

A couples pedicure?

Do men get pedicures now?
Yes.

Sexist.
Oh! Poor salon ladies.

Why did you...

You know I hate foot things.

You'll thank me.

Got nail rot?

Huh?

The ad. Got nail rot?

I don't know.

The giant feet
with the rotting toenails!

Oh, OK. Right. Gross.

Is that it? Got nail rot?

No!
Cracked heels?

No.

Show me.
Stop it!

Foot filing makes me feel nauseous.

They'll be dry
from summer sandal-wearing.

I hate pedicures.
Oh.

You know that.
I'm sorry.

It was a gift
because you neglect your feet.

Jesus.
Should I cancel the restaurant?

What restaurant?

Didn't you listen to your voicemail?

No. No-one does.

I don't mind
if we don't go to a restaurant.

Well, I do.

I'm not cancelling,
'cause I've paid the deposit,

and we're booked in at 6:30.

Sorry. I could only get
the first sitting.

What is wrong with you?

This whole thing was your idea!

No, it wasn't!

I... I don't need any of this.
Yes, it was.

I didn't ask for any of this.

I'm sorry. OK?

I've got gravel in my feet,
I'm very thirsty,

and I've had about two hours' sleep.

You still letting Gracie
sleep with you?

No!

It's all that I'm getting after
we got Dave's massive tax debt.

Why did I marry
a fuckin' freelancer?

Well, neither of you
are good with money.

I'm very tired, OK?

You should have just cancelled!

I didn't want to cancel!

But I cannot have my feet filed!

Fine. You're clearly in no state
for anything, so I'll go by myself.

Just... go back to the house
and have a rest before dinner.

You're a wreck.

Seriously?

Why can't we just go to the beach?

It's prepaid. I'm not wasting it.

Why do you have to be so organised?!

If I left it to you, we'd do nothing!

Shit!

Shit!

Oh!

No traction.

Yuck!

Oh.

Ahh!

Mmm!

Mmm.

Yeah, but, like,
he was heaps high, so...

..doesn't really count.

No, totally.
He's such a slut on ket.

Uh, excuse me. Sorry.

Sor... sorry. Sorry, sorry. Hold on.
Hold on one second, babe.

Uh, is that enough?
'Cause I've got a bit of a headache.

So it's... it's just, like...
Yeah.

You've just got, like,
heaps of dead skin.

Like... an uncommon amount.

Oh.

Sorry.

Well, uh, thanks for that. Yeah.
Get... get rid of that, then.

Great. Thanks.

Sorry, babe. Yeah.

No, I know. It's disgusting.

Oh, Jesus.

Oh! Oh!

You got it in my eye!

It's in her eye!

I can't open it!

She can't open it.

Alex?

Finished?

Yep.

And that
was the Bangles with Eternal Flame.

OK. Ready?

Coming up next, The Way We Were,

from the film starring
the one and only Barbra Streisand.

OK. I'll do the harmony.

Girls! Shh!

Your dad's asleep!

Go play on the beach.

We already did!
I don't care.

I don't want to see you
until dinner.

Go!

Hello?

Hi.
Oh, Jesus!

Oh! Sorry. What do you...
Uh...

..I think you've got the...
the wrong, um... uh, um...

Uh, check-out is at 10am.

Huh?

Oh! Uh... ..sorry.

What do you...?

Big night?

Wake up! Alex, wake up!

What?
Come on!

Ooh!

I think you just stopped me
wetting the bed.

Get up!

I was just having
one of those dreams.

You...
I don't care about your dreams.

Oh! You know those ones where
you're about to go to the toilet?

OK, pack your bags.
I didn't UNPACK them.

It's Sunday!

What?!

Oh, my God!

The cleaners are here.

I'm so sorry!

Why didn't you wake me?

Hurry up!
Can I wee?

No! Hold it.
Oh, I've got no pelvic floor!

I'm so sorry.
She's just behind me.

Um... I'll chuck these in the car and
wait out there, so that's, what...

..that's only 40 minutes over.

- I'm not gonna be charged for that?
- It should be fine.

Oh, thank God.

Sorry. Crazy... crazy woman.
Oh.

Um, we'll get out of your hair.

Alex!

Why is my arm so long?

That's how long it is.

I'm sorry.
Oh, no, I'M sorry.

I don't know how I...

God, why did I sleep so long?

All the cheese?

I mean,
I'm usually five hours max at night.

Well, that's why.

That's not enough.
God, I've completely fucked it.

You really did.

Those diamantes are dreadful.

- Aren't they?
- Yes!

God! The little jerk wouldn't refund,
so I got the most expensive.

Sorry I didn't come.
No, I'm sorry I booked it.

I don't know why I did that
without checking.

My feet ARE dry.

I'm really sorry
about the sleepathon.

God!

I slept for longer.

Disgusting.

I just wanted to give you
a bit of fun.

I know.
You're clearly not OK.

You looked like shit yesterday.

OK. Thanks.

You looked like you needed it more,
to be honest.

What?
Despite the cashmere.

What?!
We're women in our 40s with kids.

We're not celebrities.

This is how we look now.

No J.Lo at 50.
Fuck J.Lo.

Do you need some money?
For the tax debt?

Please let me lend it to you.
No. We'll be right.

You know I like to exaggerate.

I'm fine!

I'm just sleep-deprived.

Stressed at work.

Eating too much sugar.

Addicted to my phone.

The kids are nuts!

Dave's always cranky.

I've completely lost my libido.

Oh, yes.
Nothing new there.

Just needed to see YOU.

You never answer your phone anymore.

Oh, I hate my phone.

Are you OK?

Middle age is a bit shit, isn't it?

Really is.

It's, like, 90% joyless.

Fine, but joyless.

Which is why I wanted
a fancy weekend.

I know.

You're my 10%.

Oh, God.

Well, that's depressing.

You're about 3% of my 10.

Shut up!

Oh, God.

90% unrelenting, quite boring chaos.

And occasional cancer scares.

It's challenging for a control freak.

Do you guys sing in the car?

With the kids?
Yeah.

You know, like, on car trips or...

..trips to the shops or whatever.

Nup.

I mean, I sing by myself, but I...
Yeah, neither do we.

Everyone's on their devices.

Not the driver, I hope.

God! We never stopped singing.
Mm-hm.

Thank God we didn't get
Dad's tone-deafness.

No. Just his high cholesterol
and monkey arms.

Mm-hm.
Christ, they're long.

They're so long.

It's so beautiful.

Why did they stop coming here?

It's probably 'cause we gave them
so much shit about the caravan.

Oh, that's right.

They were probably too tired
to be bothered.

Why?

They worked 8-hour days
and did virtually no parenting.

There was a lot of "I don't want
to see you till dinner."

Yeah.
Yeah.

Our generation's got it so wrong.
Mm-hm.

Do you remember
when Dad wore Mum's jeans?

Oh!

Oh, ow! Oh, no!

Why are you turning down here?
It'll be near the main street.

No, no, no!
Hospitals aren't on Main Street.

Go back to the phone box.
I'll call and get directions.

It's gone.

It's gone?

Mum, it's gone!

What?

It's out.
It's out.

Are you sure?

Oh. Good work, sweetheart.

You just needed a cry.

Mum, why is Dad wearing YOUR jeans?

- No, I'm not.
- You are!

He IS!

That's why
they're so loose in the hips!

Oh, for God's sake.
What?

Oh, shit.

Who's got the energy? The interest?

I'm flattered he thinks I could have.

Well, I mean,
I am the love of your life,

so it's... it's not entirely wrong.

Oh, true enough.

Just don't try and pash me.

Oh, I don't pash anyone these days.

Does your libido come back
after menopause?

I don't know.

Maybe if you get a divorce
and your kids leave home.

Did you bring your swimmers?

Oh, my God. Forgot.

Oh, well. It'd be freezing.

Whoo!

I'm gonna catch the next one.

You can't bodysurf.

Whoo!

Whoo!
You OK?

I'm fine! I didn't know
adults could get dumped.

Oh!

Thank you.
Oh! So good.

Topped up the old sleep bank.

That mattress was fantastic.

Yeah, well, I've got
a bit of a crick neck from the couch,

but swings and roundabouts.

Alright.

Back to the chaos.

I may have exaggerated the 90%.

Yeah, it's alright. Drive safe.

Hey.

I promise to answer my phone.
For you anyway.

Maybe Mum.

Got it?
Yep.

You do the harmony?

No, you're better at it.

Just don't belt,
'cause I'll lose the tune.

You're the belter.

Turn it up!

Right.

Ready?

One, two, three.

Play!

Frankie!

Just so we're clear,
I don't want to be here.

We're in the middle of a job.

It's probably, like,
the nicest place that we look after.

The whole house is clogged.
We don't have any water!

Who's this?
Poseidon. God of the sea.

You can call me Trevor.
That's my mortal name.

How do you drive a van
if you're in a wheelchair?

Google it.

You can't just park yourself
on the lawn.

I've got a disabled sticker, love.
I can park fuckin' anywhere.
