02x08 - Speedy Susans

[bunniefuu]

Don't touch your face.

It feels like a piece of ham.

Okay, I have got room
temperature soup,

some ice cream, and a
little smoothie but no straw

because I've done some
reading on dry socket

and it's really f*cked up and
there's no way my girl's getting it.

You're the one for me.

Do you reckon?

Like, how often does
this sh*t happen?

It's cosmic sh*t, like,
I didn't even know you,

boom, I love you
and we've got a dog.

- I know, I know.
- I always wanted a dog.

It's amazing, isn't it?

- He's so great.
- Yeah.

Not Mum, I don't want her.

- Meggles?
- Meggles, yeah.

Hey! It's my best girl.

"It's my best girl"?
Oh, look at you.

"It's my best girl"?
Oh, look at you.

A man stole my wisdom teeth
and I paid him for it.

I hope you're not
too high for this,

but, um, I want to
ask you something.

Oh, sh*t.

Ashley Marie Molden,

will you be my maid of honour?

You got engaged!

Rumi asked me last night

after we saw her
friend's one-woman show.

Oh, sounds awful.

Hey, hey, Meggles,
congratulations, that's huge.

- This is Gordon.
- Thank you, Gordy.

I mean, obviously, you
don't like her, but...

Hey, hey, come on, I like her.
If you like her, I like her.

- God, you've got good hair.
- There you go.

Well, I love her,
so it's happening.

Whoa, speedy Susans.

Well, that brings me
to my next question.

Um, will you be my maid
of honour this weekend?

- What?
- Rumi's parents own a restaurant,

so we thought, f*ck it,
pop-up wedding, let's go.

But my big face.

It's five days away,
you'll be fine.

It's five days away,
you'll be fine.

No, Meggles, I'm not
going to be fine.

Okay, hopefully, when you come
down, you'll just be happy for us.

- Huh?
- Okay, I'll talk to you later. Bye.

- She's gone.
- Oh.

She's mad at me.

Oh, well, she'll be all right.

- Who's getting married?
- Not sure.

You can touch your face, eh?

Yeah, I can touch my...
You can touch my face.

- Gentle.
- Yeah.

- Oh.
- Don't touch... I know

you want to touch it,
but you can't touch it.

- I ain't touching it.
- Don't touch it.

- Touch your face. Touch your face.
- Touch his... Yeah.

- Now this one.
- Don't touch it!

All right.

Nuptu-ale was a stroke of
genius on Brett's behalf.

Although, maybe leave the,
um, graphic design to me,

because it's a
little bit scissory.

Okay, this is looking good. I
think our bar's going to slap.

And, Bretty, you came up
on my Tinder this morning.

And I love you, but
your profile's dog sh*t.

Oh. What are you talking about?

You have Year 12
rugby photos on there

and one with sunglasses
on the back of your head.

Actually, give it to me.

Why is Colin in all your photos?

Oh, chicks love wheelchair dogs.

Use what you've got, Brett.

- I'm homeless.
- No, you're not. You're a seafarer.

- Talk about water views.
- Just say

that you're chief executive
officer of a microbrewery.

- For real?
- But that's you.

Just say you're chief operations
officer of a microbrewery.

- Sweet!
- But I am. That's what I am.

- Are you?
- Yes.

Okay, you're chief f*cking...

- executive brewer.
- Am I, though?

Of course you are, mate!

Yeah, we're firing on
all cylinders again.

Daddy's taking care
of all his babies.

- Thanks, Daddy.
- Okay, stop saying "daddy".

- I am your daddy!
- I'm your daddy.

Okay, just a wee...

heart starter, I think.

Now, don't forget you're
working, Crappster.

No, you're working, Crappster.

I'm basically in
the bridal party.

Hey, listen, could you
two do me a favour today

Hey, listen, could you
two do me a favour today

and just make a bit of a big
show of how pretty Ash is?

She's always pretty.

- Yeah, beautiful girl.
- Yeah, good, good. Say that.

How do I look?

You look... good.

You look good.

- Is the tan too much?
- Nup.

Yeah, because I said two-hour regular
but she sold me on the two-hour dark

because there's probably
going to be flash photography.

Why did you get a tan, though?

Just because my face was
all puffy from the wizzys,

so then I cut my own fringe,

thinking that it would give
my face a bit more structure,

but it made me look fat, so then I
got the spray tan to look skinny.

But is it too much? She said
it would still look natural.

- It does.
- Yeah, cool.

Yeah, but, like, we can't have
three brides today, so I just,

I need you to chill out, okay?

Oh, totally. I'm just
trying to look good for you.

Oh, I feel sick.

Hey, hey, listen to me.

Meggles, you know, you
don't have to do this

because we can just say that you've
got a stomach bug or something,

and I can get you out of here,

get a hotel room in the
city on Mum's points,

and we can just wait it out until
this whole thing blows over.

And we can just wait it out until
this whole thing blows over.

No, I want to get married.

Good! See? That was a test.

Look, I know you don't like her.

Oh, I like her.

- Ash.
- Yeah?

- Come on.
- No!

I don't know what you
mean, dog. She's, hmm...

- I know she's a lot.
- Mm.

But when I'm with her...

I feel like me.

And I've been looking
for that for a while.

And you know what that's like.

- With Gordy?
- Yeah.

Yeah. But I'm not
marrying him today.

- What... Would you ever?
- Well, maybe.

Have to be a pretty
k*ller proposal.

- Wow, you just got really basic.
- I know. I felt that.

- I really am basic.
- Yeah, look at you.

- Darling, could...
- Hi, Dad!

Oh! My little girl. Look at you.

- Mum would have been so proud.
- Oh, I think so too.

She would have been
backing you all the way.

Oh my God. She
would have loved it.

Oh my God. She
would have loved it.

Ooh! Hello?

Oh.

Hi, Bernie.

Hello... you?

It's Ash.

Of course it is! Sorry, Ash.

I like your, um...

Megs, I'm ravenous.
What's there to eat?

Oh, sorry. Food's
not here till three.

Three.

- What are you eating, Ash?
- Nothing.

Oh, I do beg your pardon. Um...

I'll... go get...

Does it look like I'm eating?

To life. To love.

- Uh-oh. Don't leave that up here.
- So sorry to interrupt.

I'm just looking for a... a spot
to put these. Just be a sec.

- Hi, Rumi.
- Hi.

Do you have a sec?
Could I grab you?

What can I do for
you, good sire?

Thanks for asking, my liege.

No, seriously, I wanted to just

apologize in person for
dinner the other night,

and I wanted to also
thank you for trusting us

with your alcohol service today,

and we just want you to
have a very special day.

Sounds like it
was written by AI.

It wasn't.

- Did Ash tell you to say that?
- She did.

- Yeah.
- Yep, yep, yep.

Do you need a hand with that?

Okay, mate. It's just

they're hard to do, and I
know how to do it. That's all.

Oh, I know. I've just
been sitting here.

I don't know how to do
it. I'm so helpless.

Thank heaven you came in.

Okay, mate. Nice
hat, by the way.

You can go now.

- f*ck me.
- I will not.

- There you are.
- Hey, yes, I am!

And I'm just leaving this
particular room, though.

- Hello!
- Hi.

Oh, um, crew, this is
M's maid of honour, Ash.

Oh, um, crew, this is
M's maid of honour, Ash.

Who's M? Oh, M.
Yeah, that's cute.

Yeah, it's me. I'm
the maid of honour.

I had my wisdom teeth
out. Probably can't tell.

Oh, yeah, a bit old-fashioned,
but, yeah, nice. Nice tradition.

It's nice to be
asked, but, yeah.

Not a maid. Wink, wink.

I'm Rumi's maid
of honour, Hayley.

- Oh, really?
- What?

I... I just thought, um,

well, there's only one
maid of honour, normally,

and I thought that that was me.

Normally?

Well, originally.

Right.

Well, I mean, if you
prefer, you could be,

you know, person of honour.

No, I want to be
Rumi's maid of honour.

It's just that I'm
the maid of honour.

Sorry, I'm the maid of honour.

I'm... I'm wearing the dress,
so I guess I'm the maid.

Well, you just said
you weren't a maid.

Yeah, as a joke, because
I'm not a virgin, you know?

Are you a virgin?

None of your business.

No, it's none of my business.

Ah! Guests arrive in 20 minutes.

Ah! Guests arrive in 20 minutes.

The ceremony starts
at 4:00 p.m. sharp.

Please use the #suddenlycashmere,
and #bouquetsandbuttonholes

can be picked up from me at 3:45,
because I am the maid of honour.

Okay.

Look, I actually do
need help with this.

- Hi.
- Hi, welcome.

- Uh, Beer, Echo Park Brewery.
- Thank you.

- Champagne's fine too.
- Thanks.

Echo Park Brewery. Like us on
Facebook, TikTok, and Instagram.

Echo Park Beer?

Yeah, please help yourself.
Artisanally crafted for the event.

- What's he doing here?
- Who?

It's Lee.

- Oh my God! Thank you.
- It's so awkward.

I told Mum not to bring him.

I'm sorry. Oh, Gordon,
Gordon, Gordon!

Um.

- Hey, hey.
- Um, you have to kick Lee out.

Oh! What?

No, why?

Because... because Meggles
and Rumi don't want him here.

- Okay.
- You know, he makes

- people uncomfortable.
- Yeah.

Not the right vibe.

- Mm-mm!
- Okay, yep, got it.

- Yep, yep.
- Okay, Trish.

Well, I'll see you
on the dance floor.

See you there.

My God! She's had
some bad work done.

- Hey, guys. Hey.
- Oh, Gordon.

- Hey, guys. Hey.
- Oh, Gordon.

- Oh! My boy.
- Oh, hey! Hey, Lynelle, how are you?

Isn't this wonderful? What a
marvellous day to celebrate

the love between two
beautiful young women.

Yeah, yeah, yeah, about
that. This is, I'm afraid,

it's a pop-up wedding,
so for that reason,

there are no plus
ones. I'm so sorry.

What about Joni and Walter?

I... I don't know who they are,

but, yeah, there's set meals
is the thing, so, yeah.

Oh, well, Lee won't eat much.

- I'm fasting.
- Oh, really?

- Mm-hmm.
- Oh, that's... that's cool,

but... but the other thing is,
it's... it's assigned seating,

- so, yeah, there's no...
- Oh, no, he doesn't need a chair.

- I'll squat. Utkatasana.
- Oh, come on, man.

- I... I... I...
- He's my wedding gift!

Yes, it is true.

I plan to capture the
sirens in celluloid forever.

Right, I think they've got a
photographer, probably, so...

Yeah, listen, I guarantee
you, that photographer

is off somewhere right now,

taking a close-up
of someone's shoes,

which no one will look at ever.

- Well, be that as it may, I...
- You see, I'm setting up

a locked-off camera
for the ceremony.

I've got GoPros for
the dance floor.

I have a drone in
the car for sunset,

and some fun little
cameras for the toilets.

And some fun little
cameras for the toilets.

- What's that?
- Just some Polaroids

while people freshen up.

Keepsakes.

- It's actually pretty good.
- Mm-hmm.

I've put a lot of
thought into it.

I wish you'd put a bit more
thought into what you were wearing.

Well, I'm just getting
into the spirit of things.

- It's revolting.
- Um... I...

- Oh! Perfect.
- Oh!

All right now, ladies
and germs, a bit of hush.

That's right now.

Yep, phones away and pages,
beepers, all away now.

Let's just be with our brides.

Hmm? Uncle Tony,
I see you made it.

Very impressive.

What an honour it is

for me to be here today

at the wedding of my
gorgeous niece Renee.

At the wedding of my
gorgeous niece Renee.

Oh, sorry, Rumi.

Odd, I used to change
her nappy as a baby.

Remember Uncle Tony?

Oh, she had the most beautiful
skin you've ever seen.

I babysat her and I
used to inspect her feet

because she had the most exquisite
feet you've ever seen on a child.

Truly!

I watched you grow

into the fully formed
woman that you are today.

And even though you won't let
me near your feet anymore...

I think you're just fantastic.

Thank you. Thank
you, Aunty Peta.

- And those feet led you to Megan...
- Yes!

Who's, oh well!
She's lovely too.

So, a poem for the happy
couple by Pablo Neruda.

When I cannot look at your face

I look at your feet

Your feet of arched bone

Your hard little feet

I know that they support you

And that your sweet
weight Rises upon them

Your waist and your breasts

The doubled, purple
of your n*pples

Your wide fruit mouth...

Is it weird being here for you?

Well, I left my husband of 17 years,
for a girl I'd known for four minutes,

and a month later, I'm
working at her wedding.

Yeah, it's pretty f*cked up.

Look at my Tinder though.

Okay, last time I was single, I
was having sex with guys this age.

I've gone off, I've had a whole
life. I made three humans.

I've come back, and I can still
have sex with guys this age,

except, like, as a
hot, experienced woman.

Hey, get your phone out.
Let's have a look at yours.

Oh, yeah!

Got my eye on that
little tadpole, Mr Pink.

- Hmm, sexy.
- Yeah.

Oh, sh*t, okay, quickly,
it's nearly over.

Grab the... grab the champagne.

I now pronounce
you wife and wife.

And you may kiss the bride.

And you may kiss the bride.

Yeah, okay, okay, that's enough.

All right, that... that'll do.

I mean, it's not
Love Island, is it?

No.

All right, we're going to sort out
the tattooed wedding rings now.

Other than that, I'll
see you on the V floor.

Oh, I'm sorry, I'm sorry.

Bit of housekeeping.

Don't use... there's two
toilets down the end.

Don't use the second
one. That's out of order.

I found out the hard way.

But enjoy your night,

and I'll go and touch
base with Tammy.

It's called Men of Men.

And... and this
is an app, or...?

And... and this
is an app, or...?

- Yeah, yeah, yeah, it will be.
- Uh-huh.

So, basically, you're a part
of a dwindling monarchy,

- and the chalice has been...
- Mm-hmm.

- In the family for generations.
- Right.

But the person who drank the
poison doesn't know until the end.

- Right.
- There's also a village idiot...

- Uh-huh.
- Who can hand out these idiot cards.

Now, if you get one of
those, you've got to forget

- every armoury card you ever had.
- Oh, wow!

So, you've got the silversmith,

- the blacksmith, the goldsmith.
- Mm-hmm. A lot of smiths.

I thought you were absolutely

Oh, thank you! Well,
it's for a good cause.

Well, I don't know about that,
but you were... you were tops.

What do you mean?

Well, about the cause.

Message received, Bernie.

I... I think the key with
all of this stuff is,

from my experience anyway,
is just listening to...

I mean, no one even
asked me, my pronouns.

Not one.

Well, they don't
ask me either, mate.

But if someone would just
ask, instead of assuming.

Okay. What are
your pronouns, Lee?

He.

It.

Oh. That fits.

- Would it like a drink?
- Yes, yes, it would.

You know, in my... in my day,
you didn't get to choose.

You're either A or B, and most of
us just chose A just to fit in.

But if I'm to be terribly honest,
there's plenty of B in me.

I mean, we've all sucked
a c*ck or two, haven't we?

- Have we?
- Of course we have.

Hey. How's the fringe?

Does it look like I
got it done proper,

or that I cut it
myself high on opioids?

You look beautiful, Ash.

Stop.

What about these ones? You
think they're gonna make it?

Oh, I... I couldn't tell you.

Oh, I... I couldn't tell you.

You know what? f*ck it!
They could outlast us all.

- Not us. No. Yeah.
- No, no, not us. Not us.

Come here.

Yeah?

- I love you, Ashley.
- Ooh!

- First time you've said that!
- I know.

- Am I cool about it?
- Pretty cool.

You've left me hanging.

I have thrown it out
there a couple of times.

- Have you?
- Yeah, and I've died.

I'm sorry. I'm a bit slow.

I love you too.

- Yeah?
- Yeah.

- Why do you smell funny?
- Oh, is it my mouth?

No, no, it's... Oh, it's...

- Oh!
- Oh, it's the tan.

It... Oh! It smells
like a mix of... No.

Don't, don't!

It's... it's like...
it's like an apartment.

- Mm-hmm.
- But...

it's had a high turnover of...

it's had a high turnover of...

- Tenancies.
- Yes.

- Yeah.
- With some low-level

- Yeah, look.

- These walls have seen a lot.
- Hmm. I'm into it.

Bretty, can you get
rid of these, mate?

- Gordonza!
- Ah, Jimmy Dean!

- How you going, brother?
- How are you, man?

- Yeah, yeah, yeah, good, man.
- Yeah, good?

- Having a good time?
- Yeah.

Yeah, yeah. Yeah!

Hey, we're all good, eh?

No hard feelings? You
got the girl, all good.

Yeah, thanks, man.
I appreciate that.

Hmm.

Yeah. Yeah. All right.

Yeah. Yeah. All right.

Yeah, we texted for a little
at the start of your thing.

But then I realized, yeah, I'd lost
her, and I... I want to respect that.

Thanks, man.

That's cool.

- You all right?
- Yeah, man, I'm...

- I'm knee-deep in poon so I'm good.
- Ah, yeah.

But if I could do it all again,
I'd probably do it differently.

She'll probably always
be the one that got away.

Hey, cheers anyway, man.

Hmm.

- Yeah.
- Yeah, yeah.

Yeah. It's probably
enough hugs anyway. Cool.

Sorry to hear
about your old man.

Thanks, man.

- Life only goes in one direction, eh?

Yeah, he did, yeah, yeah.
