[alarm clock sounds]

[groans]

[Sara] No! No, no, no, no, no!

Come on! Get up! Come on, big day!

Big promotion day! Wake up!

You can't sleep in anymore, Mr. Big Shot!

Hmm? Seriously, babe, I'm so proud of you.

Mmm? [chuckles]

Oh, my God, Shaun. Your breath smells like shit.

Come on, get up! I made breakfast. Let's go!

[theme music playing]

[phone rings]

Hello? Shaun speaking.

Shaun! Zoe. Good time?

Hey, Zoe. Yeah, I'm just about to...

Uh, yeah, I got a couple of minutes.

Great! Well, things are really ramping up here,

so what's your availability looking like for next week?

I've got four shoots and a lot more coming up.

Shaun?

Yeah, um...

Look, can I just check my calendar

and I'll let you know as soon as possible.

OK, but you've gotta hurry up, Shaun.

You know I've got a lot of work coming up. I do need to lock in these shoots.

-Yep, alright. Thanks, Zoe. -Don't keep me waiting, Shaun.

Yep, no worries, Zoe. Thank you. Bye.

[indistinct chatter]

Here we go!

Big boss coming through like his shit don't stink!

He's not the boss of anyone. Don't worry.

Just make sure you don't become a ball-buster, mate.

Mate, you have my word on that. I won't.

OK, he doesn't have the authority to bust any balls.

Uh, what's that? You sound a little bit threatened, Adam.

Why would I be threatened, Tess?

There's nothing to be threatened about.

Is Shaun and Adam on the same level now or...

No. No.

No.

So, what is the difference between the two jobs?

I can assure you that Shaun's new position,

which he hasn't gotten yet,

will be nothing like 2IC.

OK?

Adam, I promise I'm not trying to muscle you out.

I'm just doing it for a bit more money, mate.

Well, you couldn't muscle me out, mate.

Yeah, well, I'm not trying to.

-Good. Good. -Good. Fine.

-Fine. OK. Thanks. -Whatever. Done.

OK! Who's ready for a big one out there?

-Hey! -Here he is!

Now, as you're all aware,

unless you've been living under a rock,

our regional manager, Al,

is coming down today with some very important news

regarding a certain...

promotion.

[chuckles]

Now, as important as that is, when head office is in town,

you know we've gotta run a tight ship

and be the best store in the region!

Oh, sorry I'm late, guys.

Nice of you to join us, Winno.

Bit of a late night, mate?

-Yeah, yeah. -Brett keeping you up all night, buddy?

[all laugh]

Come on, Brett, mate, he's only young.

Don't keep him up on a work night.

You know what? Get fucked, everyone.

OK, OK. Everyone calm down. Everyone just take it easy.

[Gary] Now...

Brett and Winno can make love

as much as they like outside of work hours.

[staff whoop]

Did Winston and Brett have sex?

Big day for you today, mate.

All that hard work paying off!

Thanks. Yeah.

It's been a long time comin'.

Thanks for putting in the good word for me, though, buddy.

Ah, don't worry about it, Shauny. Not a problem at all.

Look sharp, mate. Here they come. Here they come.

[dramatic music playing]

Yep.

Hello, Al. Welcome.

-Thank you, Gary. Shaun. -Hello.

Big day for you boys today.

Yes, it's very exciting.

Fantastic.

Well, until the meeting, it's business as usual, I guess.

-Absolutely -Shaun, this is Michael.

I'm hoping you might be able to show him

how things work down here.

Yep, certainly.

Gary, shall we go over the numbers in your office?

Yes, I wanted to do that. This way, Al.

[whistles] Big day for you out there today, Shane, hey?

Yeah, definitely. It's also...

-It's Shaun. -Yeah, that's what I said, mate.

Look, I need to get around, give these guys a rev-up.

You know, get their juices flowing, get 'em excited.

So, um, I'll leave you lads to it and I'll, um...

Ooh, Adsy!

So, Michael, are you from head office?

Something like that, yeah.

Right. OK.

How 'bout I show you 'round and introduce you to a few people?

-Sounds great. -Excellent. Come this way, matey.

Don't be a bitch about it, man!

I'm not!

Look, all I'm saying is that it's been two weeks now

and people should just... get over it and move on, God!

No, sorry.

You're gonna feel the sting of this for a while.

I'm gonna have some fun with it.

Dude, it's not that big of a deal, OK?

Not that big a deal?

You stripping down to your boxers and kissing Brett

isn't a big deal?

Oh, and look! Here's the mastermind herself.

Why, thank you!

I'm assuming you're talking about Winston's encounter with Brett

that, hmm, no doubt opened up

a world of new feelings inside him.

What? What feelings are you talking about?

Oh, come on, Winno. It's alright. You can tell us.

You secretly enjoyed it.

No, I didn't.

Well, I didn't wanna say anything,

but I'm pretty sure you had a boner.

Get fucked! I did not have a boner.

So, what's next for the big, bad lady slayer?

When's your hot date with Beeanka?

No, I can't date her, man. It's not gonna happen.

Wait, what?

Winston did his Brett moves on Beeanka.

She was into it!

[laughs]

Oh, God.

"Oh, God!" What's so funny?

Well, look, I hate to break it to you, but...

Beeanka didn't fall for your Brett style.

She was clearly just trying to mess with me

because she knew we were close.

[laughs]

Yeah, um, I don't think that's totally true and correct.

Yeah, um, I'm sorry, Winno.

Don't be sorry for me.

Be sorry for Beeanka when I don't ask her out.

Wow! That is quite an ego you've got there.

It's not an ego, it's... It's just the truth.

Well, what are you waiting for?

Don't string her along any more than you have to.

Mmm, yeah, I agree. The sooner the better.

Yeah, you're right.

I should probably just get it over and done with, hey?

Yeah. But, hey, just be gentle with her, yeah?

-Yeah. Poor thing. -Mmm.

Thank you! Have a good day. Bye!

-Thank you, girls. -Bye!

-Cute. -So cute.

-I know, so cute. -[both] Hi.

[indistinct chatter]

Well...

-Excuse me. -Yeah?

Can you take care of things here for a while?

I think Winston is actually gonna ask me out.

Oh, my God! That's amazing!

What? Are you serious?

-I don't like him. -What?

I'm just trying to get into Tess' head, remember?

Oh, yeah!

-What a bitch! -I know.

-Alright. -Go.

Sorry about that.

Winno, you bad boy! Where have you been hiding?

Oh, you know, it's, uh...

It's been a rough and embarrassing

couple of weeks for me.

What do you mean? You mean the Brett thing?

Oh, I thought that was really hot, babe.

-Really? -Oh, yeah. Very.

Well, maybe we could, uh...

you know...

No. Beeanka, um...

I can't do this, OK?

-I can't go out with you. -What?

Brett told me what to say, so--

Look, I'm gonna stop you right there, OK?

Jesus, I threw you a bone to get at Tess.

What?

Oh, for fuck's sake, Winston! Have a look at me.

In what universe would this be interested in... this?

Ya fuckin' dickhead.

Yeah, but you said--

Winston, you look like someone took a 7-year-old

and stretched it till it was 7 feet tall.

I'm 6'2".

And you still live with your parents.

[Winston] You know my mum, she's quite--

Winston, turn your lanky, man-child arse around now

and don't make this any more awkward than it needs to be.

-Shut up! -Ow.

Well, that was a complete and utter fucking waste of time.

How did it go?

-What do you mean? -Did he ask you out?

Uh, no. Not quite.

-[woman] Excuse me. -Shhh!

Babe, I'm sorry.

-That sucks. -Sorry?

Sarah, didn't we just speak about this?

I don't like Winston.

-Yeah. -Yeah?

-[laughs] Yeah! Yeah. -Yeah.

[Winston sighs] That works. Alright.

[clears throat]

So, how'd she take it?

Uh... Pretty good, actually, yeah.

[clears throat] Pretty good.

She was just pretending to get at Tess, wasn't she?

-Yeah, she was. -[both laugh]

Winno the lady slayer!

Well, that's pretty much the basic layout of the store.

Now, how about I introduce you to a few of the team?

-Sounds great. -Yep.

Hello!

Do you work here?

I do, young lady.

Oh, well, me and my mum

have been waiting over there for ages.

Just wondering how hard it is

for one of you people to come and actually serve us.

Uh, whoa! OK, I'm sorry.

-I'll come straight over. -[girl huffs]

-How you going? -Oh, hello. How are you?

-Very good. -Right!

If you two are done, um, getting to know each other,

I'd like my phone now.

If that's not too much trouble.

Now, sweetie,

we agreed that you wouldn't speak to me like that, remember?

Whatever.

Alright, guys, what kind of phone can I help you with today?

Well, I wanna be able to make calls,

text my friends, take selfies and go on Facebook.

Honey, it's just for emergencies, OK?

We don't need all the bells and whistles.

Oh, my God, Mum! Shut the fuck up!

You're such an embarrassment.

All my friends at school have them.

And if you don't get it for me,

you're gonna be the worst parent in the world.

Hey, hey, hey, hey.

Having the latest doesn't make you a better person.

No!

And all the kids at school can say whatever they want.

But don't let that change who you are inside,

because you know what?

That's what really matters.

Hey, come on! Give your mum a break!

What the hell would you know?

You're just a burnt-out loser in a crappy job.

OK, that is about enough.

I'll handle this.

Who the hell do you think you are?

Hey?

Sorry... me?

Yes, you!

How dare you speak to my daughter that way?

Are you serious?

Oh, I'm serious! Who do you think you are?

Pretty sure your job description is 'salesman',

not 'surrogate father'.

So kindly keep your words of advice to yourself.

Come on, sweetie. We're leaving.

-Yes? -You're an idiot.

Hey, mate, just letting you know

the store's gonna be closing in a couple of minutes.

-OK, cool. -No worries.

Shaun.

Adam.

Well, time's almost here.

Are you sure you're ready for this?

Ready for what?

Look, Shaun, going from floor staff to a leadership role

is a pretty big jump.

And if I'm being honest, I have my reservations

about you in the role.

But it's out of my hands.

So I guess I'm forced to

take you under my wing and show you the ropes.

[laughs]

Adam, I haven't even got the role yet, mate.

Alright, Shaun, let's cut the shit, shall we?

Are you after my job?

Because if you are after my job, you better be ready for a war.

Adam! I don't want your job, mate. I barely even want mine.

I mean, the money'll be good from the promotion, but...

that's it. I don't even want a career in retail.

-I wanna be a photographer. -A photographer?

-Yeah. -Photos are a hobby, Shaun.

This position demands the proper attention.

I could be making a lot of money from photography, mate.

Oh, right. And that's why you're working here.

-What? -Well...

You keep talking about being this amazing photographer...

like you're above everyone here.

But that's all it is, Shaun. Talk.

Wake up, Shaun. You're just like the rest of us.

[indistinct chatter]

OK, guys. Thanks for sticking around tonight.

You know, when I was made manager of this store,

it was a scenario much like this one.

There was a real buzz in the air.

And I was surrounded by people that I could call... family.

[sighs] And I knew...

it was where I wanted to be for the rest of my working life.

[staff members] Aww.

Anyway, enough of that.

Look, I know you're as excited as what I am.

So let's have a big hand

for your regional manager, Al.

Thank you, Gary. Thank you.

Uh, thank you all for sticking around tonight.

It's a big night for you all.

We've looked long and hard at this store

for a very long time now, and we really think

that by promoting this special individual,

we can really put our best foot forward.

So without further ado, I'd like you to put your hands together

for the newest member of your leadership team.

-Michael. -Thank you.

Well, come on, don't be shy.

A round of applause for Michael, please, everyone.

Michael, would you like to say a few words, please?

Good evening, everyone--

Uh, I'm sorry, but what the actual fuck?

-I beg your pardon, Shaun? -I said, "What the fuck?!"

-Is something wrong? -Who's this guy?!

Michael's been brought in from another store.

"Oh, this is Michael.

He's been brought in from another fucking..."

-Are you joking? -Hey, that's enough, mate.

Adam, take your lips off management's arse.

Take it easy, mate.

Oh, yeah, you take your teamwork train to the land of fuck off!

Shaun, you're embarrassing yourself.

Calm yourself down.

If you have any problems with our decisions,

you're more than welcome to take them up with HR.

Embarrassing myself?

Embarrassing myself?

I've been embarrassing myself for years coming in here

and working every single day

while everyone else is out following their dreams.

I embarrass myself when I let people treat me like shit.

You all said I had this in the bag.

Gary?

Shauny... Mate, just take it easy, mate.

[Shaun] Do you know the shit that I've had to go through?

The fucking mind-numbing stupid customers

I've had to deal with every single day

while I put my dreams on the backburner,

supporting my family, doing what's right,

following the rules,

to continually get fucked by this soul-destroying company.

Shaun, if you don't calm down, I'm gonna have to do something--

What, you're gonna give me a written warning?

Is that what you're gonna do? Well, guess what, guys.

There's a whole big world of opportunities out there.

And I'm about to join it.

Just this morning, I got offered a lot of work

doing something that I really, really enjoy.

Yeah, I know it's a risk,

but I'm heading in the right direction, aren't I?

I've had it with this hole...

I can't believe you were gonna make me

miss my boy's birthday party, you heartless bitch!

But most of all, I can't believe I almost let you.

Fuck you, written warnings.

Fuck you, customers. Fuck head office.

But most of all, fuck you!

[theme music playing]

Hey, Zoe. It's Shaun. I'm available for those shoots.

So I just wanna book in some dates if we could.

Oh, yeah, about that, Shaun.

Sorry, I had to go with another photographer.

I couldn't wait any longer.

Oh.

I was kind of relying on that.

[laughs] What can I say, Shaun? Next time, don't wait so long.

Fuck.
