01x03 - Episode 3

[bunniefuu]

Uh. Less teeth, please.

If you're so good at it,
you should suck yourself off.

We can just, like, reschedule.

No, no, no, it's fine.
Alright. Yeah.

Are you sure?

No, sorry, I shouldn't...

I shouldn't have said anything.

Sorry!

-You're doing great. Just...
Yeah?

Keep it up, yeah.

Sorry.

Yeah.

Yeah, yeah.

Bruzz.

How can you fellate
during a time like this?

-Uh! f*ck!
What are you doing?

Did somebody see us?
I told you we can't...

What are you doing?

Where are you going?

George, where are you go...

George!

Where are you going?

I'm sorry!

Lucy!

-Lucy! It's me!

Hey, Alan.

You're messing up
your sleep schedule.

I need you to wake up
and help me.

Alan?

Al!

Hey, Alan, wake the f*ck up!

Cold.
Sorry.

It doesn't matter how many
times you've done this,

it always...

..makes me feel...

-Alright, you ready?
-Yeah. No, no.

-Just... OK, yeah, just do it.
-Three, two...

No, don't count. Don't count.
Just...press it, OK?

-I reckon you're good.
-Yeah?

Off you pop.
I gotta go to sleep.

No. Alan.

Our world is crumbling.

And I'm...

I'm desperately trying
to pull it all back together.

And you, you're just...

..you're sleeping through
the whole thing.

Just give them space.

Space! Don't be so
heartless. They need support.

Yeah, space as support.

Eshayz Adelay!

Maya, stop swearing.

Mum, 'eshayz'
isn't a swear word.

Told you, Mum!

MoMo, I need to show you
something. You're gonna die.

Not interested.

I haven't even
showed you yet.

No means no, window licker.

Oh! Mum!
What is wrong with you?

Mo's calling me
a window licker again!

Oh, you're always sooking!

Mum!

Bruh, I thought it was
a vibrator or some sh*t.

Mo, ew!

-It's upside down.
Oh!

Why are you such a buzzkill?

Your body, your choice.

You better hide that sh*t
from Mum, though.

She's losing it that you
gave Lucinda her key back.

Whatever.

You better not snitch.

You've always been
the snitch one.

Hey, Dad, Maya's here
but she doesn't want to speak

because she's going through
another phase.

You are such a spinner.
What's wrong with you?

Is she always crazy
like that in the mornings?

-Yeah.
Let me live!

Tell her to simmer down.
What's wrong with her?

Ask her why she deleted me
on Instagram.

Maya, why'd you delete Dad
off Instagram...

No, yeah, I can still
hear youse,

even though we have
a whole house.

She says she can hear you.

Sounds like
she's in a bit of a mood.

Yeah, she's always
in a mood.

Oi, so you coming down soon,
or what?

Maybe in a few weeks.

Like, in a month?

Yeah, well,
there are a few things

I have to sort out first, and...

Did you tell him?

Tell me what?

Are you in trouble at school?

No, um...

Tully, he...

Tully died, Dad.

Oh.

Tully from next door.
Lucinda and Alan's son.

No, no, no,
I...I remember.

I mean, that's...that's
really horrible.

I thought they'd moved out.

Did you wanna speak to Mum?

No, no, no, no, no,
I've gotta get back to work.

I'll talk to you later.
Love you.

-Love you. 'Bye.
Love you. 'Bye.

Stop wishing he'll get it, Mo.

He's a flop and you are too.
Are you always this angsty?

That's our dad, Maya.

Dad deez nuts.

'Bye, Mum!

What happened to the mural?

We had to take it down.
It'd been up nearly two weeks.

Guess what.

..with the wellbeing team.

I deleted all the apps.

What? Why?

..teachers can
access this at any time.

Oh, am I right we could do

with another volunteer
for the wellbeing team?

Anyone?

I can.
Right.

What about you, Mae?

Someone established
in the school community

and has a relationship with the
students might be a head start.

Yeah! Sure. OK.

Great. OK.

Sorry!

No, you're perfect for it.

Can you feel it?

Feel what, babes?

Mercury. It's in retrograde.

It could be anxiety, but I feel
like that's a normal response

to anything that's happening
in this sick and twisted world.

Or it could be
that someone's just died.

Not to be disrespectful,
but no.

It's Mercury retrograde.

I can feel it.
It's, like, a whole vibe shift.

Hey, this is George.
Leave a message.

Mo? Mo, hi.

Have you...
Have you spoken to George?

Why would I
have spoken to George?

It's just that, uh,
he's been ignoring me.

You see, something happened
between us this morning.

George and I were...

You know...

I don't know how
you'd say it here. Like...

Like...like oral sex?

Australians say oral sex.
-Right, yeah, OK.

So yeah, he's doing it to me.
And it's good.

I mean, he's surprisingly good
at oral sex,

despite his narrow mouth.

Then what's the issue?

I think
I sexually assaulted him.

Oh, well, did he say yes or no?

Uh, he...he said neither,

but he did leave running
and said nothing.

OK, Brendan, maybe
you need to speak to him.

Yeah, I mean...

Yeah, but I don't want
to be in this relationship

where I've got
this constant ambient fear

of being broken up with.

And, Mo,
I just wasn't that horny.

Oi! I'm over this g*y sh*t, bro!

So am I.

Um, you deleted social media?

I just feel like
this is a cry for help.

Actually I'm being
haunted by Tully

and I just find it triggering.

Well,
if you're triggered,

then just, like, say that.

I just did, like, say that.

Kate, is this to do with
that white pagan sh*t

you were just talking about?

No! This is why
I wish George was here.

It's scientific, Priya.

OK, so the planet Mercury
moves backwards

and when everyone's all extra
for no reason

and moral posturing is at,
like, a hundred...

So yeah, actually,
Maya's social media

could be a result of such.

People delete every day, though.

It's very millennial ennui
of you, Maya.

Hey, maybe I'll deactivate
in solidarity. Mm?

George? Hey, please
pick up. Are you mad at me?

I'm sorry, I...

-Don't be mad at me.
-Trouble in g*y paradise?

Priya,
like Brendan and George.

OK, breaking up is, like, the
base mode of their relationship.

But our whole group, Priya.
Look at us.

Oh, my God.
What if you're right?

If? I am right.

Yeah, well,
then what about me?

I don't know, maybe
you're just built different.

Immune to the
astrological reality of it all.

OK, but until I see it
firsthand,

then I'll buy it.

Uh, excuse me!
Show no resistance!

Sorry, miss.

Gus, was it?

Haven't seen you in some days.

Yeah, um...
I'm just mental and that.

You're mental? Hm!

Trust me, young man,
I've lived mental.

You, you don't
look mental to me.

Mental doesn't really
have a look anymore.

Even guys can get it too.

Yeah, I've watched the football.
I know all about it.

It's all in the eyes.
Sanpaku. It's Japanese.

-Sanpaku?
Yes.

Three whites.
You've only got two.

Charles Manson. Abraham Lincoln.

Diana, God rest her soul.
All sanpaku.

I don't think
they're in my year.

Excuse me?
-Gus. You're here.

Hey, Gus.

It's good
to have you back.

Are you
seriously ignoring me?

No.

You're, like, emotionally
punishing me. I can tell.

Oh, my God, Maya!

If this is because
of what I said about Dad,

I'm not apologising
for stating facts.

When I speak,
I'm a gronk, heartless,

spinner, flop,

and when I don't speak at all,

there's something
wrong with me.

Can I just go to school in peace

without everyone
breathing down my neck

about stupid, meaningless sh*t?

Well, can I?

Get off me, freak!

OK, you were right.

"Oh, you are
well tuned now,

"but I will let down these pegs

"that make this music
as honest as I am."

What is Iago on about?

Is he jealous
of Othello?

OK, I like that.

If you're a jealous person,
what might you usually do?

k*ll the vibe.

You all laugh, but
that's a really good answer.

Let's find a good word
for "k*ll the vibe".

Revenge.
Yes, revenge.

Anybody else?

-Yes, Mo?
Betrayal.

Betrayal.

Um, Mo, mate, your hand.

Sometimes, punching

trains your brain into thinking

that anytime your body
feels that emotion,

it needs a fist
to relieve it of itself.

Slowly, it acts like a reflex.

I'll make sure
to write that down.

You're not hard.

Yeah, I know. Keep going.

You know,

at one point in my life

I was very easy to be with.

I don't know if this
means anything to you,

but I found that all of
my exes who couldn't get hard

were one of either three things.

Deeply depressed,

on drugs...

..or were guilty.

So which one is it today,
George?

Or maybe...

..I just find you
really f*cking disgusting.

Well, you look terrible.

Ah.

Well, I was dehydrated.

Well,
that was very expensive wine.

Especially for a palate that
can only comprehend goon sack.

So you're welcome.

Thank you.

It's Mercury in retrograde.

High anxiety,
major miscommunications.

Shitty, shitty feelings.

All that noise.

Can you only tell me
the bad parts?

Don't be so performative.

Say what you mean
and mean what you say.

I hate it here.

The Lovers.

Mm, lack of direction.

You excited for school to end?

It's very normal at your age.

OK. Kate, is it?

Give me a smile, won't you?

Ace of Pentacles.

You need to be
honest with yourself.

Reversed Two of Cups.

Try to avoid gossip.

But then who doesn't love
a goss?

Reversed Nine of Wands.

Careful not to get manipulative.

The Devil.

Interesting.

You're releasing
limiting beliefs.

See, it seems to me

that you nurture the people
around you naturally,

and you need to be careful
not to let that exhaust you.

What was the last thing
he said to you, Tully?

I was the glue.

The glue of what?
What needed fixing?

I don't know.

OK, George,

I'm gonna say this once,
and you need to listen,

because I'm not
gonna repeat myself.

But people like
you and I, George...

..we're meant to live
our lives in excess.

Accountability looks very
different for us, George,

because we very rarely miss
and we are never wrong.

And guess what. We don't fix.

And we should never
have to apologise

for seeking out the pain,

because the pain

is where the juice
for our lives comes from.

And, George, when people
ask you if you're in pain...

..this is what you ask back.

Do I look like I'm in pain?

I am f*cking obsessed with you.

Gus has been doing
really well since he got here.

Actually, he's integrating
quite smoothly

into the school community,
the team.

Am I right you've always
liked reading?

Only if it's good.
Not the sh*t stuff.

Yeah, whenever
I'd visit him up the coast,

he'd be in a corner somewhere
reading, wouldn't you?

And Jed, he's a bit more...

Well, Jed's Gus's big brother.

He's a bit more hands-on,
you know?

He made this table in jail.

He's out again now,
but this table,

it's the best coffee table
on the block.

-See this bit here?
-Mm.

Resin.

Resin.

You must be so happy
to have them both here.

Oh, I am.

Any chance I can
borrow Gus for an hour or so?

Yeah, absolutely.
You can go now if you like.

'Hot Seat's on and you've been
sitting on my remote.

Oh.

Hey, mate, come in.

Whoa! Did you get that checked?

No, it's G. These are from Mum.

Oh. Nice. Mm! Come in.

Hope you like
prawn and avocado risotto.

You can take a seat.

Not gonna lie, sir,
but this looks putrid.

No, it's what will make you
good at football.

Good?
I think you mean better.

Well...

No, it's chat.

I'll let my mum know.

No, it's nice. Tell her
I said it's really nice.

Kidding.

So you didn't wanna
have dinner alone?

Oh, sir's lonely!

I'm not lonely!

I'm making you captains.
Of the football team.

What?

Both of us?

Yeah. You'll be vice captain.

Um...I can just play
on the team normally.

It's my call.

Funny.

Ha-ha.

I'm not joking.

I mean, what's going on?

I'm sorry.

Mo, I'm sorry.

What are you sorry for?

Yeah, Gus.
What are you sorry for?

That night. He was there.

I mean, you saw it, right?

Right, Gus?

You saw it.

Well, then say it!

Tell him you saw your friend
dying and ran away.

Oh, my God.
That's what I'm talking about!

Get in here, give me a spin.

Unbelievable.
You look just divine.

What's in there?

Nothing.

Quick!
It's gonna rain any second.

Stop!
-Maya! Girls!

It's your bedsheets!

Are you telling me
that little Maya's ticklish?

Oh, sh*t!

Oh, my God, she's fully naked.

Stop.
She's fully grieving.

You know I can hear you.

I hope you two have been
keeping out of trouble.

Oh, perfect little angels.

Why do I find that
hard to believe?

Oh, Lucy!

I, uh...I tried to come over.

Yeah.

You know, I never come over
to your place and I...

..I don't quite know why.

I think
that would be really nice.

I...I'd love that.

OK, girls, let's get
inside. Come on. Let's go.

He's not coping.

Nobody's asked him how he is

and you need to talk to him,
alright?

Kate!

Kate!

Ohhh!

You OK?

Do youse think I'm annoying?

No.

Slightly annoying that
you got drunk with my mum

without telling me, but you know
I think that's just probably...

Kate.

Be serious.

I can take it.

I'm being serious.
I don't think you're annoying.

I'm the reason
Tully's dead, though.

George, you can't think
like that.

Hey, hey, hey, hey!

I just really miss him.

I know, I miss him too.

We all do.

I really missed you
at school today.

I had no-one to talk to
about Mercury retrograde.

Oh.

When will it be over?

It ended five minutes ago.
