(EDM b*at PLAYS)

- What do you want?
- (b*at CONTINUES)

Hi... You don't know me, but...

this... it's a bit of
an odd request.

How did you find us?
On Craigslist?

- No.
- Did a friend tell you?

No.

- You have a door.
- MAN: What?

I'm here because of
the basement door.

Oh, God, another one. (SIGHS)

(LAUGHS)

I really need that door.

We need the door.
It sets the mood.

It's our most popular room.

Right, of course.

Um, OK.

Look, I can't tell you
why I need that door

but it's literally
life or death.

I've done things I'm ashamed of.

I've made mistakes.

I continue to make mistakes.

But I've met someone
who knows that, deep down,

I'm a good person
and I am trying.

And, right now, in order
to make things right...

- (b*at STOPS)
- (GARY INHALES)

..I need that door.

The woman I love,
she needs that door.

(b*at PLAYS)

Money is no obstacle. Seriously.

- Just name your price.
- $ , .

- That is... That's insane.
- I could cut you a deal.

We need a sub
for our next party.

- You need a what?
- A sub.

Submissive.

$ , ? OK. Um...

Who am I making that out to?

♪ Oh, ooh, ooh, ooh

(IF I HAD A TAIL BY QUEENS
OF THE STONE AGE CONTINUES)

Hey. What are you doing?

Uh, this is an abandoned
mine shaft near Oodnadatta,

in the outback.

It's about miles
from here, give or take.

I went to the State
Library to get this.

Here, have a look.

You want... You
want us to move here?

No, I want to go there for
the next full moon, Gary.

- OK...
- I can't work out...

I think that is the
entrance, or maybe here.

That's a better one.
That's the entrance.

But the tunnels
must go pretty deep

to get all that mercury.

Mercury?

Yeah, and best part is

we won't run into
anyone because...

it has been closed
for over years.

(ENGINE APPROACHES,
REVERSING BEEPING)

You should go see what that is.

(REVERSING BEEPING CONTINUES)

(ENGINE AND BEEPING STOP,
DOOR OPENS AND CLOSES)

G'day.

We're here to
install the f*ck door.

(CLANGING, METAL SCREECHES)

- There she is.
- MAN : This thing's gonna weigh a ton.

GARY: I should have let
you take care of the basement.

That's my fault.

I don't want you to worry.

There is a lot to worry about.

There always is.

There always will be.

But we are a team...

and I'm going to show you
just how committed I am...

- oh, my God!
- ..to this relationship.

What... What are you doing?

Mary Hammond,

I promise to love you,

every part of you, forever.

(LAUGHS)

Now, in lieu of a wedding ring,

I would like to offer

this f*ck door.

Your f*ck door.

- Our f*ck door.
- Our f*ck door.

Will you marry me?

- Yes.
- Yes?

Stand up. Yes.

- Promise me one thing.
- OK.

We can get married
after the baby's born?

Of course. Why?

I would just... I
would prefer it.

CHAT INDISTINCTLY)

GARY: You sure
you're OK for this?

'Cause I'm happy to tell Sarah
that you're not feeling well.

Wait, do you think
we don't have time?

We definitely have time, but...

if, for whatever reason,
you don't want to do this,

- it's not a big deal.
- Oh, no.

I think we should go, sweetie.

- They're so good to us.
- OK.

I mean, they take
Emma every date night.

I agree.

- sh*t.
- Mm?

That taxi's been following us.

- What? For how long?
- Don't you remember?

- We pulled out...
- I didn't even notice a taxi.

That taxi, right,
nobody got out of it,

and it's literally
been on our tail.

I'm not being paranoid.

I never said you
were being paranoid.

I just don't know why
a taxi would follow us.

Mmm.

MARY: What are all
these cars doing here?

- There's, like, cars here.
- I have no idea.

Is she expecting
other people for lunch?

- It was my idea.
- What was?

It's not bad. I promise.

ALL: Surprise!

Don't freak out. We'll make
this as painless as possible.

We didn't know who to invite.
Emma went to the nursing home.

- Darren! How are you?
- You look amazing.

- MARY: You have to meet Gary.
- Hi.

- Em, we did it!
- I know!

MARY: Oh, my goodness! Albert!

Albert, Gary.

- Hey, Albert.
- Hey. I'm the cleaner.

- At the nursing home.
- OK. Yes! Albert, of course.

- Hi.
- Babe!

No! Suppa! Oh!

I'm sorry I didn't
call you back.

Wait, I want you to meet Gary.

- Hi.
- Hi.

I teach her Maui Thai,
and I'm also her nutritionist.

Ooh! Well you're going to be
getting a call from a new customer.

- Ooh!
- SARAH: Come get a drink.

- (INDISTINCT CHATTER)
- Mary?

Aunty Sarah said this
will only be two hours,

so plenty of time
for date night.

I promise.

You said friends
are good, remember?

I did.

Do you know I always
wanted to have a baby shower.

- Really?
- So, thank you.

Oh, babe, you're so tight!

- And big.
- (LAUGHS)

(CHATTER)

I mean, I think these are what
vegie kebabs are meant to look like.

Here, take a look.

And, Ray, thank you again
for watching Emma tonight.

No worries. We're totally
fine with Emma staying for...

whatever you guys
get up to once a month.

Could you answer
your phone, though?

Sarah's been really worried.

Yeah, yeah, of course.
Sorry about that.

That whole thing,
that was so stupid.

Olivia keeps telling me about
the basement at your place.

Mm?

Yeah, she said you
guys had a basement.

(LAUGHS) Basement, in Australia.

How would you even
build a basement,

especially one that works.

One that works?

(INDISTINCT CHATTER
AND LAUGHTER)

SUPPA: No, no, Susan's
technique is getting so much better.

But Jeanette, God bless her!

She's still falling
like a sack of onions.

Oh, poor Jeanette.
I feel bad for her.

(LAUGHS)

Daddy alert! Who's the hot guy?

..the f*ck?

Uh?

SARAH: Mary?

RAY: Who's that?

Gary?

(MAN SPEAKS INDISTINCTLY)

MARY: But why...
How did you find me?

MAN: shut me
out of your house.

- I'm really worried about seeing you now.
- I don't follow you.

- It's just really weird to see you.
- What's going on, Mary?

GARY: Hi, there!

Who's this?

This is Mary's
partner. And you are...

I'm from Chicago.

Uh-huh, that's a city.

Yeah, it is. Well
done. I'm Anton.

- Anton.
- Mm-hm.

Gary.

Mmm...

Gary.

Gary.

And Mary. (LAUGHS) And Gary.

Anton used to
teach me in college.

- Her professor.
- Is that right?

It's funny, Anton,

she, uh, never mentioned you.

Oh, really? I
wonder why that is.

What brings you
to Adelaide, Anton?

- I'm travelling the world.
- Uh-huh.

And on these world travels,
were you always planning on

stopping by my
sister-in-law's house?

- Hello!
- No, not really.

Hello. Hi, I'm Anton.

- Sarah.
- Sarah, very nice to meet you.

- You're not from here.
- No.

- Where are you from?
- I'm from Chicago.

I'm an acquaintance of Mary's.

Oh. You came all
this way to see her?

In some ways I did, yeah. I...

I was in the neighbourhood

and I thought I'd
stop by and say hi.

SARAH: You had to
have made a bit of an effort

to come to Adelaide.

- ANTON: Don't I know it.
- (SARAH LAUGHS)

I think the only Americans
that have been to Adelaide

are you guys and Ben Folds.

Ben Folds?

Ben Folds? Who's Ben Folds?

Uh, the singer.

(CHUCKLES) You
and your music, Mary.

Some things never change, huh?

Um, shall we go inside
and open up some presents?

But I didn't bring
anything. I feel terrible.

Oh, I'm sure you being
here is enough. (LAUGHS)

- Really?
- Yeah.

Oh, OK. Thanks.

Do you want to tell me
what's going on here?

(CHATTER)

Oh, he goes with this one!

I was at the Nam Nao
forest in northern Thailand.

- Are you familiar?
- SUPPA: Yes, yes.

(INDISTINCT CHATTER)

- A lot of gibbons.
- Mm, yeah.

They're delicious.

(LAUGHTER)

You should try them. They are...

OK, so... we're
gonna play a game.

ANTON: Sarah, excuse me.

Seeing as I didn't
bring any gift,

I feel the need to say
something, if that's OK with you.

- Yeah, yeah, of course.
- Oh...

Yeah? OK. Um.. Hi, everyone.

Uh, um...

OK, I can't say that
I ever expected...

to find myself at a
baby shower in Adelaide.

(LAUGHTER)

And, my dear Mary, if I
asked you years ago

where you thought
you might end up,

I'm sure that you
couldn't imagine yourself

in a place like this.

But if any of us knew that
a place like this existed,

Adelaide...

(CHUCKLING)

..where the people
are so friendly

and their smiles are so warm...

..is there a better
place to start a family?

Mary, you were a
wonderful student.

A protégé.

I daresay, MY protégé.

And I'm sure you will
be a wonderful mother.

(SOFT AGREEMENT)

- To Mary.
- (WHISPERS) Thank you.

ALL: To Mary.

That was beautiful.
Thank you, Anton.

No, thank you to Ray,

for this beautiful sausage.

(LAUGHTER) Don't
mention it, Anton.

- They're delicious!
- I want another one.

And, please, the floor's
yours. I apologise. Sorry, yeah.

Thank you. Um...

Write down on these
cards anything you like.

Parenting advice,

things that you loved
about your own parents...

Thank you very much.

And I'm going to
compile a book for Mary.

And remember, keep it anonymous.

(LAUGHS)

- Give me a sec.
- Yep, done.

- Done!
- There you go.

- Sarah?
- Oh.

- Why don't you read them out.
- Go on, Mary.

- All: Yeah!
- I... Ah, OK.

- (ALL ENCOURAGE MARY)
- Um...

- (CLEARS THROAT) -
Here we go, here we go.

"You're not going to do
anything for the next six months."

"Make sure you're getting
enough Vitamin B and D.

"Sunflower seeds are a
great source of folic acid

"and iron supplements
are your friend."

- That could be anyone, babe.
- (LAUGHTER)

SARAH: What does it say?

"Let your...

"heart run free."

(CONFUSED MURMURING)

(HINGES SQUEAK)

Oh. Did he go?

- Oh...
- That's a pity.

- He knows.
- He's my Professor.

Why does that
mean he would know?

Because he was a friend,
and he... I was anxious.

There was a full moon,
so he came to check on me.

I went to see him when
I got back from Prague.

Oh, yeah? Why? Why?

Uh, because I thought
I was losing my mind.

I needed help figuring out
what was wrong with me,

and he's the smartest
person I know, and...

he was there for me. I
mean, he tried to help.

Oh, yeah, in what
way did he help?

He thought I was having
a psychotic episode,

based on what happened to David.

Mmm.

Mm.

Did he help in any other way?

- What?
- Anton.

Did Anton help in any other way?

- What do you mean?
- I mean, like, with sex.

Did he help you with his
penis? Did you sleep with him?

Oh, my God, Gary.

What is wrong with you?

- One meat bag!
- Meat bag! Thank you!

See you next month.

(WHISPERS SHARPLY)
That's irrelevant.

Is it really irrelevant, though?

You know, Stacey Turner
was in my sci-fi group at school

and she had a crush
on me for a year.

I've never mentioned Stacey.

Imagine if Stacey Turner
just showed up unexpectedly.

Imagine how insecure
that might make you feel.

What the f*ck are
you talking about?

(KNOCKING)

We need to have a
proper conversation.

Yeah, uh, I'd love to
have a conversation too,

but I cannot do this right now.

I only have minutes.

I've only got minutes too.

I was worried.

I was worried that the guilt
you felt for David's death

was going to drive
you to your own.

That's why I went to
check on you that night.

Of course, I couldn't
believe what I was seeing.

I was lucky to get away.

But, yes.

You bit me.

(SIGHS)

Of course, from that moment on,

I knew that you
were telling the truth.

I'm so sorry, Anton.

Don't be. You unlocked
in me something...

I didn't even know existed.

- What?
- Freedom.

The freedom to
finally be myself.

But how?

Well, you saw me before.

You saw my life.

I had the intellectual life,

with all the... delights

that came with that life.

But I was trapped.

Ironically, like a caged animal.

I just couldn't see it...

until I was able to FEEL it.

My great religion

is a belief in the blood,

the flesh,

as being wiser
than the intellect.

We can go wrong in our minds.

But what our blood feels,

and believes,

and says,

is always true.

The intellect...

is only

- a bit...
- And a bridle.

- D.H. Lawrence.
- Yes.

Why didn't you come and see me?

I've got so many
questions for you.

I feel like I've been carrying
this alone all this time.

You're not alone.

I mean, isn't it a
f*cking nightmare?

It doesn't have to be.

But I mean, what have
you done all this time?

Yeah. Yeah, Anton, what
have you been doing?

As I told you at that
hideous gathering of yours...

I've been roaming.

I know, but what do
you do once a month?

Well, last moon,
I was in Thailand.

I hadn't sampled the
Northeast Asian wildlife before.

- There were a lot of monkeys.
- Yeah.

Gibbons, specifically.

So, mostly, um,
endangered species?

I don't fight my primal urges.

I live with no
secrets, or shame.

I let my wolf run free.

How are you planning
on raising your child,

if it's one of us?

Are you just
going to lock it up?

Deny it the chance
to be who it really is?

OK. We're done here.

You need to be going, my friend.

Mary, you're the only one
who ever understood me.

And now you and I
couldn't be more alike.

I know.

I know how hard it is...

to keep that part of yourself...

locked away from
existence, caged...

..when what it really
is telling you it needs...

is to run.

(GROWLS) f*ck!

We have to get you
out of here, right now.

- Oh, f*ck!
- What the f*ck?

Where were you
planning on going tonight?

ANTON: I hadn't give
it that much thought.

Mary! You have got to get
down to the basement right now!

I know! Ugh!

Oh...

- Come.
- What?

- What? Where?
- No!

Where else does he go?

You can't take him
down there with you!

Listen to me! You
cannot go down there!

(GROWLING)

- Mary!
- Just get down there!

- Straight ahead!
- It's not safe, OK?

You could hurt yourself!
You could hurt our baby!

- Do not do this!
- I'm gonna be fine. Agh!

- Take this! It's expensive.
- What?

Take this, please. I
don't want it to break.

- Ow!
- Oh, f*ck!
