01x11 - Would You Like to Know the Sex?

[bunniefuu]

Double time, everyone,

'cause you lot are turning me

the f*ck on!

Five!

Four!

Three!

Two!

One!

Well done,

well done, well done.

All right.

That's a water break, guys.

Take two minutes.

Well done, guys.

He's trying to k*ll us.

T, what's wrong?

T, T, T, what's good?

T?

- What's wrong?

- Whoa, whoa, whoa.

- Got

- What?

Got the job.

- You got the job?

- You got the job?

- You got the job!

- You got the job!

- I got the job.

- You got the job!

- You got the job!

- I got the job.

I got the job!

He wants to go kayaking.

Tyrone?

That's good, innit?

Yeah, it's really good.

It's just

We go for walks

he makes me mojitos,

the other day,

we went to a farm.

Know what? He's actually

a bit like you, Ben.

- Oh, yeah?

- A general nice.

And for me, it's a bit unusual,

I had to adapt, but

I feel like I'm copying him now.

Like I'm coming across nice.

You are nice.

I reject that.

I'm nice to you and to her,

but am I generally nice?

What are you getting at, bae?

We're great people, we're goals.

But Ben,

do you ever get that feeling

like someone's right for you,

but you're not yet the person

you need to be

to also be right

for that person?

Yeah, I know

what you mean, yeah.

What do you do?

Do whatever you need to do

to become the right person.

Bun this dead chat.

Bella?

Bella, are you okay?

Oh, hey.

Just a tiny bit left.

How you doing, bae?

I'm proud of you for moving on.

She's really let everything go,

innit, Ben?

I was thinking

we should do a cleanse.

- f*ck!

- Rehydrating, exfoliating

- Good book?

- Decluttering

It's f*cking amazing, Ben.

Della Croy-Dickie! Ugh!

I need to meet her, you know?

She's like my twin.

Let me let me tell you

how deep this sh*t goes.

Arabella and Della,

both Londoners,

both new writers,

both published

under Henny House,

yet somehow manage to sit

on complete opposite sides

on the spectrum of success

and failure. How?

Our names f*cking rhyme.

Well, if you're with

the same publisher,

I'm sure someone

can introduce you to her?

- Yeah

- Yeah.

What about Susy Henny?

I'd prefer not to reach out.

Why?

Well, they'll ask me

how I'm doing

and how my draft

is coming along,

and 'cause

I haven't done anything,

it's just the last conversation

I wanna have with them.

- You haven't done anything?

- Or with you.

But more so with them.

So, no reaching out.

I need a plan B.

Hi, Della. I'm Arabella,

I'm a new writer, like yourself.

Um, thank you.

I closed it,

and I felt, uh, different,

and it gave me hope

I might finish my book one day.

Good.

Earnest.

But not how you get things.

This is reading

as weak and unsure.

- I am weak and unsure.

- We can't see that.

As someone who just got a job,

can I help you?

- Action.

- Hey, Della.

I'm Arabella, new writer,

woman, she, her.

I've recently read The Sundial,

and I couldn't put it down

for a second.

Not even for a loo break.

Yass!

As a woman,

I wanted to reach out to you

as another woman,

to see if we, as women,

could get a coffee,

and discuss the struggle

of being under commission

in this patriarchal system?

Email and number below.

I hope to hear

from you soon, sis.

- Hashtag HennyHouseGang.

- And cut.

- Bella, so good.

- Right.

- So layered, so textured. Mm.

- Mm-hmm.

And we are we're

- We're sure about this?

- Trust me.

Mm? Ben?

Okay.

- Uh, number and email.

- Oh, yes, yes, yes.

Okay.

- Oh, good. She's seen it.

- Oh, good. Good. Good.

Yeah, that's good. Good, good.

Where's she gone?

Where's she gone?

Should I add another

Another

Yeah, let me add, like, "X."

Hmm. Go back to the home page.

- Uh, let's just wait

- Gimme the f*ck'

Yep.

She's blocked me.

She's blocked me.

f*ck. f*ck. f*ck!

- So gorgeous.

- Feel.

Stunning, wow.

I like stroking this one,

to center myself.

I haven't had a break

in eight years.

Man.

Man, that's, uh

- that's tough.

- Hmm.

Peace Lily, she was my first.

- This is Kalanchoe.

- Hmm.

I've been growing her,

what, about two years now.

- She is beautiful.

- She is my favorite.

Hmm. I see why.

Do you grow?

- Do I

- Do you grow?

Are you into growing?

Flowers, plants?

- I am, I am.

- Mm-hmm.

Never done it,

I should say, but I

- Oh, you'd love it.

- Yeah.

Yeah, no,

I really wanna get into it.

Do it, do it, do it!

We should be planting.

You know, we are the descendants

of trees.

Guess that's where we get

the melanin.

- What?

- The melanin.

'Cause the barks are brown,

and our skin is brown, so

It was just a joke about

the barks being brown

'cause the brown

is the melanin in our skin,

and trees have brown barks.

Yeah.

Yeah, I was just making

a silly race joke.

Do you believe in multiple races

as a rational taxonomy?

I probably

Probably gonna

have to think about that

and get back to you.

Where's your draft?

We've been waiting

for quite a while now.

I'm just curious

as to what stage we are at?

How's it going?

What's the current word count?

Word c I can't say for sure.

That's actually the reason

I'm here.

I read Della Croy-Dickie's

new book.

- The Sundial?

- Yeah.

And I wondered

if you could maybe

arrange a meeting

for the two of us.

Before, you mentioned

that was something

you could potentially do.

Is something like that possible?

No.

Okay, I just really thought

she could she could help me.

She can't help you.

It was great to see you.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Uh you, too.

Arabella, um,

h how are you?

Yeah. Yeah, good.

We brought you

in here today, um

It's not good news.

Henny House notified us,

um, over the phone

and and via email

that they, uh

they're withdrawing

your commission.

sh*t.

Yeah. They caught wind

that, um, they

their desired outcomes

may not be achieved.

- I went to see Susy.

- Why did you do that?

Well, they've cut and run,

and so now we need to begin

the process of repayment

and, you know,

we have to figure out

how you plan on on

On doing that.

- sh*t.

- Yeah.

Things now have become

very, uh, complex.

What does What does that mean?

Complex. You know,

everything's now become

very, uh

complex.

We can no longer represent you.

Sorry.

Thank you.

Um, I'll have the

tofu Bolognese, please.

You're vegetarian?

Uh, yeah,

I'm trying it out today.

Fish of the day

looks great to me.

I'll get the fish.

Thank you.

- So?

- So, I guess I just wanted

to explain my behavior,

and to say sorry.

I had an intention

to sleep with a woman.

Uh, just a hook-up,

a one-time thing,

which I already know

is problematic to some people,

but then we matched,

and then we got really close,

on the phone,

bonding and sharing,

and that's when you stopped

being right for my

uh, experiment.

And, uh, yeah,

I wish I had realized that

before rather than after,

because then maybe

we could have had a friendship.

- Okay.

- I know you might think

I I betrayed your trust,

and I think I did, too.

And, yeah, I'm so sorry.

I'll never do

anything like that again.

It's what it is, isn't it?

Yeah, I guess anything that

you might have found offensive,

you wouldn't have heard,

had you not stepped into

my house under a fake identity.

I I'll never even contemplate

doing anything that way again.

Did it once.

No one really knows

what you're gonna do.

You shouldn't f*cking get away

with that sh*t,

but the reality of life

is that predators and criminals

never face justice.

I'm gonna cancel.

f*ck's sake.

I mean, I can cancel it for you.

Yeah,

you're f*cking cancelled too.

It's gonna be okay, bae.

It's gonna be okay.

All done, ladies?

Anything else I can get you

before I finish my shift?

Uh, just the bill,

and if you text that number,

I'll have yours.

I can do that for you.

How you doing, bae?

I am in more debt than I've

ever been in my whole life.

How you gonna pay them back?

I don't know, Terry,

that's why I'm crying.

- T?

- Yo?

You were right.

Thank you.

You were right. Della.

- Yes!

- She's, uh she's she's

She's asking if I'm free.

- What're you gonna tell her?

- I'm I'm free?

- You are free.

- I am free now.

You are free now.

All right, I'm off.

- See you later.

- She's emailed me.

What the f*ck is that?

Who knows?

I'm gonna let you guys find out.

Yes. Yes. Yeah. Yeah.

Kai! Kai, hey!

- Okay.

- Ooh.

- Hmm. Look at that.

- Ooh, I've got food envy.

Enjoy, guys.

Um I was supposed to wait

until you were leaving, but

I just got to say, thank you.

I saw you on Flip Side. Like

I know who you are.

Just had to

I'm a fan.

That's very kind of you,

thank you.

Excuse me, um

- Can I have what he's having?

- Yeah, sure.

Thanks.

So, what was that?

Knows my work, I guess.

Well, I'm actually an actress,

so I wanna know

who I'm really sitting with.

Do you want another drink?

Secrets?

I'm just gonna go toilet.

Be back.

- Okay.

- Perfect.

Can I get you anything?

- I'm waiting for someone.

- Okay. I'll come back.

Thank you.

Oh. Wow. Hey.

Uh, long time.

Yeah.

- How have you been?

- I'm brilliant.

Yeah, I'm living my best life.

Can I get you a drink?

Yeah, no.

I'm I'm waiting for someone,

actually, so

Hi.

Hi.

- Really? Seriously?

- Yeah.

f*ck this sh*t, man!

After all the stuff

at the summit,

Susy still wanted to publish me,

but didn't wanna risk

using my name.

So, "Della"?

Are you still with

Future Voices?

No, and I couldn't find

another agent after that

So, no one knows

you're Della apart from

Henny House, and my mom.

- Susy knows?

- Susy picked the name.

b*tch.

It's a bit silly to come

and meet me, isn't it?

Why've you done that?

You sent me a video

of yourself

on the toilet?

Seems like you need help

to finish your novel?

And I was supposed

to help you before,

back then,

and I didn't, so, um

- Look, I don't want to make

- Look, just wait. Wait.

I'm not afraid of you.

'Cause you're not under my bed.

You're here with me,

so you don't scare me.

- I don't want to scare you.

- And I've gone underneath,

underneath into the darkness,

and that darkness is now in me,

looking at you,

so I might seem

a little bit more frightening

than the last time you saw me.

You were pretty frightening

the last time I saw you.

Yes, yes, I remember.

Sit down.

You emailed me.

I also made a printout.

What is it?

It's a plot diagram

for creative non-fiction.

This week,

Flip Side shines a light

on trans musician Kai Forest.

I don't even

really like labels

- Hi.

- Hi.

So, shall I get the bill?

Oh, no, why?

You seem uncomfortable.

Me?

I'm having a great time.

So, where were we?

You were telling me

about your job.

Oh, yeah, yeah.

Actress, yep.

So, tell me about you.

Your background, your history?

Well, I was born

in Hertfordshire.

I moved to London when I was 17

to make it as a guitarist.

Turns out I wasn't the only one

who saw the gap in the market

for the next Jimmy Page.

Couldn't compete,

so I ended up studying fine art.

And now, I have

the outward appearance

of a young man,

but there, within my pants,

lies a vag*na.

So, how you feeling?

Wanna leave?

If I leave, people will think

I'm transphobic.

- And you're not transphobic.

- I'm not transphobic.

And your food just came.

- Yep.

- 'Cause you really wanted it.

Yep.

So, might as well try it

while it's still warm.

- The setup?

- Yeah.

This is where you introduce

the regularity of their world,

before an event disrupts it.

I've actually done that,

I think I've done that.

Good, yeah, you're probably

following it already.

- Conflict, confrontation.

- Yeah. Obstacles, setback.

You also introduce

the other characters,

including the main antagonist,

which, um,

which isn't always a person

But it could be a person.

Yes, yeah. Um

Or multiple people,

an outdated software

in a computer system,

the self, anything that creates

major conflict,

because conflict

enables the story to develop

- and the stakes to rise.

- And the last bit.

- Yeah. Resolution.

- Mm-hmm.

You can also use

multiple narratives,

use circular structures

Circular structures

It's just a guideline, you know?

I I learned all this stuff

in school.

Where? Cambridge?

Thank you.

Would you like to come back

to mine?

- Prude.

- I'm not prudish!

I'm not.

I've had a threesome.

f*ck you.

"C."

"A."

So, while Giovanni

was getting you a drink,

you started flirting with

Luigi. Yeah,

we just locked eyes

And Giovanni saw?

Yeah, and then he still

gave me my drink.

I could've had

anything I wanted.

And they introduced themselves

to each other?

And then there was a vibe.

And then you all went back

and, uh

And did things

that prudish b*tches don't do.

What?

- No, no.

- No, no, go on.

They weren't strangers.

What do you mean?

Sounds like they made a plan

and waited for someone

to take the bait.

You think they were pretending

to be strangers?

I could be wrong.

There was something

about the way they left.

They left together.

They headed off together?

- Yeah.

- Yeah.

Pre-arranged, probably.

It happens.

It's a while ago.

Still burns

like it was yesterday, huh?

Thank you so much, Zain.

I thought you were writing

about consent.

So did I.

I don't understand it.

I do.

Thank you.

I'm glad I could help.

See you around.

Uh, I'm gonna go home.

Okay.

Can you, um, throw those out,

please, on your way?

Yeah. Yeah, sure.

Thanks, Della.

- Right.

- Right, mate.

Right.

That is such a loud bird.

What's on the menu tonight?

Going to do

your bar watch thing?

Yeah.

Hey, you wanna come?

Oh, you know

I don't go out much.

Well, invite's there

if you change your mind.

Everybody feels lonely

from time to time.

When we have no one

to sit next to at lunch,

when we move to a new city,

or when nobody has time for us

at the weekend.

But over the last few decades,

this occasional feeling

has become chronic for millions.

In the UK, 60 percent

Sorry. Where were we?

Here.

Yo, guys.

- Hi.

- Hey.

- Leave you guys to it.

- Yeah.

So, you two are

Yep. We are going steady.

You all right?

- Yeah, I'm okay.

- Okay, cheers.

- Cheers.

- Mm-hmm.

I'm just nervous.

Got an email about my advert.

It's gonna be in a cartoon,

so I'm kinda like

I'm really sorry to trouble you,

I'm trying to spend the night

in a shelter

- Are you all right?

- I need to get to work.

Okay, well,

let's let's get you in a cab.

Eyes, eyes, eyes, eyes!

- She's all right, ain't she?

- Yeah.

f*ck, okay.

Sorry.

A criminal always returns

to the scene of the crime.

- Are you sure?

- Yes!

We need to figure out

what we're gonna do.

I've done that.

Now we're gonna give him

a taste of his own medicine.

So, you down for the alliance

or not?

The alliance is spicy,

blud.
