WOMAN: Joey's later, yeah?

Ooh, I'd let him disrespect me.

I haven't had sex in, like, three weeks.

Can you believe we're doing this?

We should be out there with him.

Yeah, well, I didn't

bring my swimmers, so.

- Why not?

- Because we're here to work.

When was the last time you

And we have to gummies.

RECORDED FEMALE VOICE:

Mindfulness is a powerful tool

and should be a part of

our everyday practice.

My advice is to surrender,

inasmuch as you

(PHONE RINGS)

you can.

Some things, sadly,

remain out of our control,

and that is the simultaneous wonder

and tragedy of the human condition.

If you grip the wheel too tightly,

you'll forget to enjoy the road trip.

And with a new packing facility,

we'll be able to fast track

the Mighty Gummies to local

pharmacies by mid-year.

Great. Great.

Because by mid-year, number

three will be strapped to me 24/7.

Your bump is so cute.

Oh, cute. I can't sleep. I have

to pee all night. My boobs leak.

I'm never having kids.

Honestly, I don't know if I've

got it in me a third time round.

No, no, you look great.

Well, this was not planned.

Total accident.

I am never drinking sake again.

So, Chloe,

why don't I step you through

how we'll be partnering

with our retailers?

Yes. Great idea, Leila.

So I've drawn up a staggered

schedule for our reps

who who will be targeting

Gold Coast health food stores,

as well as (HEART THUMPS IN EARS)

trying to get the Mighty Gummies

inside the April wellness

convention showbags,

which have a reach of

several hundred thousand.

(HEART POUNDS, SOUND FADES)

Excuse me.

Bathroom.

Leila?

(DANCE MUSIC PLAYS)

A gin and tonic, please. Double.

Are you a dealer or something?

That's a bit r*cist.

What? No. Oh, my God. No, I wouldn't.

I don't think I No, sorry.

It was just. It was because of the cash.

(LAUGHS) I always pay cash.

That way no one can track me.

Why would you be tracked?

Oh, why wouldn't you be?

Oi, c**t! Hurry up.

- sh*t, sh*t!

- Whoa.

- You right there?

- No, no, don't move.

Sorry.

I just escaped a work dinner

thing, and my boss is at the door.

Dressed like a vomit stain?

Yeah. That's her.

- She's gone.

- Oh. Oh.

Oh, thanks for your help.

Manny.

Leila.

Ooh.

I have to get back up there.

Oh. No, you don't.

It's a major client. One of our biggest.

So what? Stay down here.

Come hang out with us.

Lot of beer in shoes.

He's got it. Here we go.

Yep.

- And yeah!

- That is a valiant effort.

Oh, alright.

The rule is if it's your first

time in the shoey circle

- No.

- Oh, yeah.

You have to drink.

- Yep.

- Oh, no, no.

It's just it's. I don't even

- Whose shoe is this?

- Ah, pass it.

- Oh!

- Sorry.

No, that's cool.

It's not her first rodeo.

- (BURPS)

- MAN 1: You guys want to eat?

- (PHONE PINGS)

- MAN 2: Kitchen's closed, mate.

-

- MAN 1: Righto. Liquid dinner it is.

WOMAN 1: Where are we going after this?

WOMAN 2: Back to Joey's, yeah.

MAN 1: Yeah, I'm down.

WOMAN 3: Swing by mine.

I've got drinks at home.

MAN 1: Sweet.

Come with me.

Sometimes they say that we're

too young and too fast ♪

I was here last week. I got so

blind. I swear to God, there's

WOMAN: Really?

(DANCE MUSIC BEATS THROUGH WALLS)

What if the staff come in?

It's alright. They know us.

f*ck, get it even.

f*ck off. You still

owe me from last time.

Give it here.

I bought you shots just before.

Oh, counting are we?

Nice.

Knows how to cut a line.

I'm from Sydney.

Sydney. Wank City.

(SNORTS DEEPLY) Ah. Ah.

Alright, hotshot.

Welcome to the Gold Coast.

(SNORTS DEEPLY)

BOTH: Tune!

Come on, Leila.

Yeah, two secs.

(EXHALES)

- (PHONE RINGS)

- MEN ON PHONE: Leila!

- Hey, guys.

I'm sorry I missed your call before.

- Where are you?

- Is that a bathroom?

How's the trip?

Oh, my God. She's cooked.

Are you high?

You're not supposed to

do that before a cycle.

Leave her alone. She'll be fine by then.

What have you had? I want some.

Steven, Blair. Shut the f*ck up.

WOMAN: Oh, my God!

I just.

Yeah, I can't really talk right now.

We just need to know if

you've made a decision yet.

The clinic.

They've given us another date

for the next transfer, so.

Yeah, I'm still thinking.

Let us know when you

can. But sooner, yeah?

Go. Go have fun. Don't

think about it tonight, yeah.

- Bye. Love you.

- Bye. Bye bye.

Bye!

- Oh.

Whoa. Whoa, whoa. Just

Oh, my God. Sorry.

- I thought I'm

It's just.

Look where you are.

You drifted.

This current could take us out to sea.

Drinks back at mine, hey?

Yes.

You can't f*ck him.

(DRINK POURING INTO GLASSES)

So what is this?

Violet gin.

It's from this amazing

distillery in Marrickville.

Oh.

So you get this whole

place for free, do you?

Well, I am working.

Yeah.

(PUTS GLASS DOWN FORCEFULLY)

(SCOFFS)

Must be nice having everything

all laid out for you.

What does that mean?

Nothing. I'm just saying you're lucky.

Because you know me.

No, I know people.

(FLICKS LIGHTER)

OK, come on. You're going

to set off the alarm.

Sixie, smoke it outside.

Put it out or get out.

Are you happy?

OK, what is your problem?

You're in here drinking my gin,

having a go at me for no reason.

- You don't even know me.

- I know you're f*cking selfish.

I know you could have drowned out there.

You're lucky he was

watching out for you.

- It's not an issue.

- What is it to you?

Why are you even still here?

- Girls, it's getting

- No, no, no. I want to know.

Why is she still here?

What, are you two dating?

- f*ck no!

- f*ck no!

Is this like a, like a threesome thing?

f*ck this.

Let's bail.

- I'm going to stay.

- Are you serious?

She's f*cking using you.

Some story to tell her

stuck-up Sydney mates,

and she's gonna piss on all of us.

You always fall for

these uptight chicks.

And then I pick up the pieces.

f*ck. Your f*cking funeral.

- Look, I'll walk you out.

- Nah, it's fine.

See ya.

Thanks for the drink.

That true?

You're using me?

Kinda.

OK.

Come here.

You come here.

(MOANS)

(LEILA BREATHES HEAVILY)

Now.

(MOANS)

Well, after Dylan and I broke up.

I just didn't meet anyone.

Well, not anyone who

wanted to have a baby.

But your g*y mates did?

Yeah, but

We were just so unlucky.

Like every IVF cycle,

something went wrong.

You know, miscarriages,

an ectopic pregnancy.

What's that?

It's when, um

It's when the foetus

gets stuck in your tube.

They had to cut it out.

- Hectic.

- Yeah.

It's been a lot. Years.

We have one embryo left

on ice at the clinic.

Are you going to put it in?

I'm

I'm not sure.

Then don't.

(LAUGHS BITTERLY)

You make it sound so easy.

And what, just give up on a dream?

No.

Make new ones.

Are you sure you want to

hear all this? (LAUGHS)

Well, it's pretty f*cking depressing.

Yeah.

But I don't really get to

speak to girls here like this.

Why?

I've got a scar, too.

Bull shark.

- Really?

- Yeah, nah.

My brother thought he could beat

- the cheekiness out of me.

- (LAUGHS)

You got lots of brothers and sisters?

None that I talk to.

It's mostly just me and Sixie.

She's hard work.

Yeah, she's got her reasons.

But she's family.

Not actual family.

She is to me.

I found you something.

Now might be a little bit chipped

and it might smell a little bit, but

Thank you.

LEILA: Please don't be upset.

I mean, I know you will be.

I think we should donate

the embryo to someone

who has a real chance because

I don't think I can anymore.

I'm so sorry.

Steven, Blair, I love you both so much.

I'll come straight over when I land.

You're my family.
