02x06 - Hearth and Home

[bunniefuu]

- Where's Yuki?

- She's sick, so I'm covering.

- Oh, I wish I'd known.

- What are you after today?

- Um, just some really natural highlights.

Like super subtle.

- Easy.

- And on both sides?

- Hmm.

- If that's okay.

- Okay, all right.

I'll mix up some color.

- [Woman] Can I get you something to drink?

- Ooh, just a mocaccino please [chuckles].

- Ben?

- Oh, Ellie, hey!

- [Ellie] Hey.

- How are you?

- Just getting some highlights.

- Oh yay, you've always talked
about changing up your look.

- Yeah, I'm a bit nervous,
but yeah [chuckles].

You look good.

- Thanks, yeah.

I'm pescatarian now.

- Oh.

- So you know, probably explains the glow.

- Yeah [chuckles].

- My girlfriend converted me.

- Oh!

- [Ben] Yeah.

- I'm really happy for you.

- Well, hey, thanks.

She's great, her name's Chloe.

She's a female product consultant.

- You can just say product consultant now.

- No, no, she specifically
sells female products.

- Oh!

- [Ben] Yeah, you know,
pads, tampons, Mooncups.

- [Ellie] Oh!

- Have you ever used a Mooncup before?

- No, not yet.

- You've gotta do it, they're great.

Reusable, yeah.

You know you just tip the blood right out.

[imitates pouring sound]

- Nice.

[Ben chuckles]

- Oh, thank you.

- Looks good.

- So what about you, you seeing anyone?

- No, not really.

Well, kind of.

I've been getting out there.

- Okay.

- Yep, but it's tricky.

- What is?

- Finding someone who
ticks all the boxes, you know?

What?

- No, I mean, I ticked all your boxes

and it didn't seem to make you happy.

[gentle upbeat piano music]

- Yeah, I guess, yeah.

Well, what do you think I should do?

- Let's head over to the basin.

-Ah, okay.
-Yeah.

-I'll see you soon.
-Okay.

-See you.
-Yeah.

- Oh, you know Ben?

- Yeah.

- He got me onto Mooncups.

- Oh [chuckles]

- You know they're reusable?

Just tip out the blood.

- Tip out the blood, yeah.

[playful piano music]

- [Gwen] So I've had people
drive me around for 25 years.

Why should I stop now?

- C'mon, what's the worst that can happen?

- I could run over a newborn baby.

- Geez [laughs].

I was gonna wait until after,
but I made you something.

- You're so cute.

This one actually makes sense.

[car engine starts]

Oh my God, I think I'm doing it.

- [Beau] There you go.

- Oh, sorry [chuckles].

- Okay.

- Whoa!

Woo hoo!

-[tires squealing]
-Yep.

- [Gwen] This is actually kinda easy.

- [Man] Yep, that's good.

Just go a little easy on the brakes.

- How do I toot the horn,
but in like a friendly way?

- No, it's more about what
you do with your hands.

[brakes squealing]

-Oh, sorry.
-Oh.

[tires squealing]

- It's like, you know, like a "Thank you."

Or you know, like a "Cheers."

- Okay, that's something for me to work on.

Let's go to the beach,
let's go on a road trip.

- No, I've got my thing,

and you've got to go to the library, so-

- Oh yeah, boo.

- Okay, now just go straight through here.

- Hey, have you ever paid taxes?

- Yep, watch out.

- Whoa!

[tires squealing]

That was wrong, wasn't it?

- Ata rie!

Notice anything?

Highlights, cute right?

So glad I took the leap.

What's new?

- My dad died.

- Oh [inhales sharply].

Dean, I am so sorry.

What do you need?

- I'm gonna do the funeral here.

There won't be many people
to notify and I know what I want.

-Okay.
-What's Ed's favorite food?

I can do anything, Dean.

- Yeah, thanks Shaz.

There won't be a reception.

- [Sharyn] Oh, really?

- Yeah, it's too much fuss.

- Let me take care of everything.

Why don't you go home and
spend some time with your family?

- Dad needs to be embalmed
so I'm just gonna to head off,

if that's cool.

- I could do-

- Dean doesn't have a lot of family.

And Ed didn't have many friends.

- Is his mum still around?

- No, Eleanor passed away,
must be eight years ago now?

I remember it was a Tuesday,

cause I had cheap tickets
to see The Hunger Games.

The second one.

I didn't go cause it didn't feel right.

But then the third film was really confusing.

All of a sudden they were underground?

Anyway, after she passed,

Ed was never really the same.

And Dean lost touch with his mum's side.

- Do you think I should go do something?

- He'll reach out if he needs us.

[upbeat piano music]

- Take a seat.

- Hey, Gwen, good to see you.

Why the library?

- Well, it's neutral territory.

I never come here.

Also, I thought you might
feel safer with witnesses.

- That's, nice of you.

How's things-

- Cut the crap!

I've got something to say.

- Okay?

- Stu, Stu, Stu [sighs].

We can't keep doing this.

- I don't think I was actively-

- We gotta grow up,
put our differences aside.

- Now I'm more than happy to-

- I hate you.

Probably always will.

And your little daughter, Gabby, as well.

- Abby.

- Gabby, whatever.

But I'm willing to be the bigger man.

So I want to say something.

[whispering] I'm sorry.

- What was that?

- [whispering] I said I'm sorry.

- What?

- I'm in a library, so I can't talk loud.

But, [whispering] I'm sorry.

The truth is, Stu,

recently I met a woman named, Robin.

A woman who made me
realize a few things about myself.

I can be selfish, and-

- [Man] G'day Stu!

- Oh, mate!

Long time.

- Bloody ages.

Those goats keeping you busy?

- Yeah, hey, how's Donna?

- Is this little Abby?

Gosh, you've grown up.

- Yes, yes, I have.

I'm a big girl now.

- [chuckles] All right.

- And I'm really naughty.

- Sorry, Rob.

This is Gwen, my partner's daughter.

I'm teaching her how to read.

She's 25.

But I can't give up.

Just finish that page,

and then we'll change
your nappy, sweetie, okay?

Good to see you, mate.

- Yeah, all right.

See you on the lake.

- Bye.

Well-played.

- Look, I know it was
probably a shock to come back

and find your mum had a boyfriend.

- No sh*t.

- And I'm sorry for how that was handled.

I don't want to steal your mum away from you.

I'd really love for us all to get along.

Abby made you this.

It's the two of you eating spaghetti.

- f*cking huge spaghetti
and one of my eyes is bung.

But it's a nice gesture.

Thank you.

Do you think Mum will forgive me?

- [sighs] Of course, she really misses you.

I'm glad we did this.

- Yeah, right.

[upbeat piano music]

Can you please give me a ride home?

Don't talk to me in the car though.

It'll just be weird.

- [Gwen] Where's Rhonda?

- There!

[punching bag thudding]

- Why is she scowling at me?

- I may have vented to her
about you crashing at my place.

She's just very protective.

Hey, you haven't said
anything about my highlights.

- Did you get highlights?

You can't tell.

- Yes, you can.

- No, Ellie, I'm serious.

I really hope you didn't pay for that.

- [Woman] All right guys.

We're gonna start with some freestyle combos.

- Goes with your outfit,
you look really good.

[Velcro ripping]

All right, hit me.

- Okay.

[punching]

I wanted to tell you that I thought

about what you said to Mum.

And I've decided to become an adult.

Yeah, I met with Stu to make peace.

Not to prank him.

-[punching]
-Go you.

- Oh, and I'm gonna move out.

Once I find my own place.

- You don't have to do that.

- Okay, I won't, I'll stay with you.

- Oh, I was just being nice.

It would be quite good if you moved.

-I know.
-All right.

Switch with your partners.

- Okay, lesh go!

- Don't say lesh go.

Just, you can say, "Let's go."

[Velcro ripping]

Also, what's insurance?

Do I like need it, need it?

- You definitely need it.

- Okay.

[Velcro ripping]

[breathing out sharply]

Oh my God, please.

This is really embarrassing for you.

- All right, pads up.

- Bring it on, b*tch.

- Okay, jab cross, hook, right knee, ready?

- No, yep.

[punching]

Yep, f*ck. Jesus!

Jesus! f*ck, sh*t.

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

- Oh, sh*t.

- Are you okay?

- Yeah well, that'll teach her

for trashing your vision board.

- Oh no, we're past that now.

Thank you though, Rhonda.

[playful piano music]

- Okay, sorry.

Sorry about that.

[church bells chiming]

- [Ellie] It looks beautiful, Dean.

- Um, okay, it's 11:00 a.m.

Let's go.

- Oh, should we...

Why don't we give it a
minute for any late-comers?

- No one else is coming, it's okay.

Just, please take a seat.

- Okay.

[people chatting]

[gentle piano music]

- Hi, wherever you like.

[gentle piano music]

- We're gathered here today to celebrate...

We're gathered here today...

Excuse me.

I don't think I can do this.

- You can do it, we're all here for you.

- I need you to take over.

- Are you sure?

- Yeah.

Hi, Auntie.

[Dean sniffing]

- We're gathered here
today to celebrate the life

of Edward Christopher Fish.

Born in Dannevirke to Alma and Fred,

Edward was the apple of their eye.

It wasn't too long before Edward
earned himself a reputation

for being quite the troublemaker.

From pinching the neighbor's milk bottles,

to spitting on women at the shops.

- What a guy.

[doors crashing open]

- Oh, welcome.

There's plenty of room up the front.

- Dean look, someone else is here.

- I've never seen that guy before in my life.

[Ellie clearing throat]

- Everything changed for
Ed when he met the beautiful

and outgoing, Talanoa, Dean's mother.

[sobbing]

[phone vibrating]

It wasn't long before they
welcomed a son, Dean,

whose talent for singing
and dancing amazed them

from an early age.

- Beautiful, beautiful.

It's beautiful eh?

- Ed was never quite the same
after Talanoa passed away.

He moved in with Dean who
took care of him for many years.

And while they didn't always see eye to eye,

in those difficult moments,
Dean could always...

Dean could always rely on his second family

at Loving Tributes.

And I just want to say,

sorry, this is Ellie speaking.

While I didn't know Ed,

I'm not surprised that Dean took care of him.

Because in my experience,

he's always taken really
good care of everyone

who's walked through our doors so...

Ed will be missed.

- He will be, yeah.

- Yeah.

- And now for something a little special.

Oh, sh*t.

Okay, you can do it.

- Don't do it, don't do it.

She can't sing.

[microphone squealing]

♪ Oh, Danny boy,

♪ The pipes, the pipes are calling, ♪

♪ From glen to glen,

♪ And down the mountain side

- It was so nice to see you all.

- It'd be lovely to see you more often.

- Yeah, well I have a bit more time now.

- Also, Uncle Sale, he's
probably gonna pass away soon.

[coughing]

So, I'll keep in touch.

- Yes.

- So you can do the funeral.

- Okay.

- Okay?

- Yeah.

- Bye.

- Here you go.

- Oh, thank you.

And, thanks for doing that.

- Thank you for letting
me showcase my singing.

- I don't know how you did it,

but you somehow managed
to both be sharp and flat.

[motor scooting whirring]

- Oh.

- Hi, hey.

- Great service, mate.

- Thank you.

- Nobby.

- Dean.

- There's something I
really wanted to tell you.

A few years back, your father called me.

I hadn't spoken to him in yonks.

He wouldn't shut up about you [laughs].

He was so proud of you.

What you've achieved, the man you've become.

Anyway, I just thought I should tell you,

in case he didn't tell you that.

- Thank you.

- Us old blokes, not really
good at talking about feelings.

- That really means a lot, thank you.

How did you know Dad?

- Oh [laughs], Fitchie and I,

we all went to high school together.

- I've never even heard that nickname before.

There's a story, eh?

- It's pretty self-explanatory.

Fitchie, Ed Fitch.

- Fish.

- What, no. Fitch.

- My dad was Ed Fish.

- Oh.

[playful piano music]

So Fitchie's not dead?

- I don't know a Fitchie, but
did you not see the slideshow?

There was a bunch of photos of-

- I hadn't seen Ed in years.

People change.

I used to look like James
Dean in high school.

- Unlikely.

- Oh, this is a great day!

- Okay.

[Nobby laughing]

- This place is amazing!

And they've got pet fish
in the tank over there.

Was this Ed's favorite spot?

- No, dad was strictly meat and three veg,

but I've always wanted to come here.

- Guys, look, the table spins.

- Yeah, a Lazy Susan.

It's so you can reach everything.

- Oh, should be a Clever Susan.

[laughing]

- Vegetable congee?

- Oh, we didn't order that.

- No Shaz, you don't have to order.

They'll just bring it to your table,

and if you want it, you can take it.

- Oh, so I just grab it?

- Yeah girl, get in there, get in there.

- These are for Dean.

- [Ellie] Wow.

- This one is on the house.

- Wow, thank you.

- You're from Loving Tributes, eh?

- [Ellie] Yes.

- You did my yeye's funeral.

You treated us really good.

It was a cold day, but you
had blankets for everyone.

- Yes, of course.

Unforgettable.

Nat King Cole, that was the song that I sang.

- Enjoy the blue cod.

Please come back again soon.

- Thank you.

- That was last year, wasn't it?

- That was one of
Hammie's last funerals, yeah.

- See, that's what people remember.

- What do you mean?

- That's what's important.

It's the care and the kindness,

the personalized catering,

the generous gesture when money's tight.

This is the brand that koro left us.

- Good fish.

- No, I don't think we
should change the name.

What do you think, Dean?

- Oh no, I mean the fish is really good.

- What about Good Fish by Loving Tributes?

- What about Loving Tributes by Good Fish?

- [Gwen] What about Good Loving?

- What about Fish Tribute?

- When you're a boss,

you can call your business whatever you like.

- Oh!

[glass clinking]

Beau and I have got an announcement.

-[chair scooting]
-Oh!

So I have decided to...

[Sharyn gasps]

Sell my T-shirts.

Gwen helped me set up
a Instagram page for it.

- Congrats, Beau.

- Thanks.

- [Dean] Be shirts?

- Don't ask.

- Well, we can all buy one.

- Yeah.

- Yeah, they're all organic
cotton and custom design.

And they're only $100 each.

- $100?

- Apparently, you know, if
things are more expensive,

then people want them more.

- That's true.

- I've already made $2,000, just today.

[high-fiving]
[everyone exclaiming]

If this keeps up, I'll be able
to ditch all my side hustles.

And spend more time with Frankie and Gwen.

- Well, I made a little
something for dessert.

- Thank you, Shaz, that is very sweet.

- They charge for cakeage,
but it's only $3 a head.

- Sorry?

- Oh, cakeage?

It's like, you pay for
the plates and the knife,

and cleaning up.

I'll see if-

- Oh no, I'm not paying for that.

I'm not made of money.

- Shaz, you won the lottery.

- Oh well that's all gone now, love.

- What?

- Well yeah, we've paid off the mortgage,

set some aside for the kids.

Got the spa, the Jeep.

[phone dinging]

The choccy fountain.

You know, $700,000 doesn't
go as far as you'd think.

Oh, and Ray is getting veneers.

- Oh.

- Guys, it's Bradley.

She's sent through the TV commercial.

[everyone exclaiming]

- Show me.

[scary horror music]

- We're all going to die.

We're all going to die.

- Your loved ones will be safe with me.

[scary horror music]

- That's not my name.

[man chanting]

- [Woman] None of us
know when we're going to die,

but it will happen to you.

Are you happy?

[scary horror music]

[Ellie gasps]

- Oh, God. Is she, are you crying?

- Oh Ellie, darling, are you all right?

[Ellie laughing]

- [Beau] I think she's laughing.

- I think Bradley's obsessed with you.

- I know.

- Lock your doors.

- I live with you, you dumbass.

- Well, we can't use it, I'm not even in it.

- Of course we can't.

- [Dean] It's a good
thing we're not rebranding.

Well, I'm gonna head off.

- [Sharyn] Now are you gonna
be all right at home alone?

- Yes, well, I've actually
decided to audition

for Sweeney Todd.

So I've got lines to run.

- [Sharyn] You're gonna make a super Sweeney.

- I'm actually going for the part of the pie.

[car door shutting]

- Thanks for the ride.

Turns out the Jeep isn't very fuel-efficient.

- Yes, I did know that.

[door opening]

- See you tomorrow, hun.

- [Kobe] Need a hand?

- [Sharyn] No, I'm all good.

- Okay.

- [Ellie] Hi.

- [Kobe] Hello.

- This is cute.

[doorbell ringing]

- The doorbell?

- Yeah, what a throwback.

- They never really went away.

You okay? Did you want something?

- I guess you could say that.

- What?

- I want you, and I wanna go on that date.

- Oh [sighs].

You were kind of, well, quite rude to me.

- I was and...

I realize that now.

- You said you could do better.

- Ugh yeah, I was hoping
you wouldn't remember that.

I'm really sorry.

- Well, thank you for apologizing.

- Can I kiss you?

- No, think you might be
misreading the vibes here.

- I pictured this going differently.

- Really, how?

- I thought we might drive off together,

for like a weekend getaway,

and sleep under the stars in your van.

- Look, I don't really know how I feel

about everything right now, that's all.

- Cool, cool, cool, cool, cool.

Yeah, yeah.

- But maybe ask me again next week.

[phone ringing]

- So, you're a bisexual?

- [Kobe] Yes.

- That sounds fun.

[phone ringing]

- You wanna get that?

- Yeah, I probably should.

[phone vibrating]

- Thank you for coming around.

- Any time, baby [chuckles].

I don't normally talk like that.

- Okay.

- Okay, bye.
