You can email them through.

Yeah. Good shot.

Alright.

There is nothing in the article

that works here at-at Sweethearts.

Oh, besides you?

Well, according to this,

A white one.

(CHEERS)

Look. OK. OK.

Look, uh, this actually

Well, it was actually.

But it's publicity.

You should go.

They might think I'm a pervert.

Well, they might think

On your bike.

Shame on you.

Shame Shame.

I'm an accountant.

Yeah. Yeah.

Surprised you can ride a bike.

Fuck.

No-one can know I work here.

Until you sort this shit out,

What?

Uh, Excuse me. Uh, listen.

I don't know

but you are putting the-the social

of the women that work here at risk.

Yeah?

Sweethearts is a safe space

where women can provide

all people, actually.

Excuse me. Are you filming me?

Could you...

I'm on public property.

Absolutely.

Well, this is my right.

How's that feel? Huh? Huh?

Oh, Jesus Christ, Sharon.

Of course, you're part of this.

I suggest you, uh, you leave now.

Oh, flipping the bird.

How classy.

That's a great sign, actually.

No to brothels.

He's 'firetrucks himself

and you forgive him' hot.

Oh, boy.

Wait. What's brothel hot?

Hot for someone who pays for it.

And what's "firetrucks himself"?

So drunk he wets his pants.

He can wet my pants any day.

Mm-hm.

I wet someone's pants last week.

Oh, yay. He's got a lovely face.

I read your article,

Aw!

because we're not

No.

And nor-nor should we be.

Shame and all that.

Yeah.

Wow.

Oh, god. You know what, uh...

The thing is we don't...

Right. I-I apologise.

Would you bend the rules

Oh. See. If I bend, I...

Bend them, please.

Let's take...

Oh, fuck me!

That's huge.

That's what they all say,

Amazing.

I saw the article this morning

I just thought,

"Just give it one more try, mate."

Are you a virgin?

Oh, well, I mean,

the definition of sex, then...

I mean, I guess... ah...

Yeah, I-I have knocked at the door,

but have not entered.

But you're so...

I know.

I'm incredibly good looking.

Well, it's just a waste, really.

OK. OK.

OK. (CHUCKLES)

Lie down.

It's OK.

Lie down.

This is my job. OK?

I will find a way to help you.

Get it back out.

As you can see,

They don't want this type of

Oh, no.

The blooming Newshub guy's

It's getting worse, Mack.

If the media turn on us,

Have you heard from Ham Handy Hands?

He's late.

Oh, sorry, Jaz. Yes. He's cancelled.

It's because of this

It's given everyone the willies.

Fuck's sake.

Look, these guys are pros,

and they haven't got

I don't think

Why aren't you out there kicking

Look, I mean, just I don't think

to come across as...

What? Boss? Leader?

Saviour.

His penis.

His penis, what?

His penis is so big.

If he stood up with a hard on,

I-I couldn't.

Fuck.

I failed.

Who's up next then?

No.

So...

Yeah, Makes sense that you tell us

Oh, for fuck's sake.

Alright. Go for it.

I'll give it a hoon.

Oh, Jaz.

Jules, it is not my first time

(EXHALES)

Wish me luck, gals.

(CROSSTALK)

Fuck, fuck, fuck.

Homemades.

Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.

I think you've got one?

Is that my Jasmine?

Oh. Jassy!?

What are you doing here?

Nanny Mavis.

I've come to join the protest.

Really?

You should have told me

'cause I would have picked you up,

Oh, crap.

Is Jas her real name?

That's an interesting outfit, dear.

Oh, yes.

Well, it's...you need to keep warm,

Yeah.

Oh, Sharon.

She's a racy dresser.

She does my nails.

(CHUCKLES)

You get warmed up.

Yes. It's cold. Yeah, yes.

Jules.

Go get them

That's gonna

Oh.

(CHANTS OVERLAP)

Hi, everyone.

Uh, Natalie.

Robin.

Jeff. Hi.

Yeah. Look.

I know you lot love

Yeah. Well, that's why we're here,

(CROSSTALK)

But you're buckling up

Look, Sweethearts is a good place.

Some of the women here

(SHOCKED MURMURS)

And that's their prerogative.

Am I right, Trish?

What are you asking me for?

Yeah. Why are you asking Trish?

Well, look. Here's another one.

Get out of here.

(CROSSTALK)

No. Oh, no. No!

Don't go! No!

(MESSAGE POPS)

Tada!

Well, I failed with my pitch

but I got your biccies.

Excuse me.

Where's the Mint Slice?

Mint?

Four packets of Tim Tams.

I'm the favourite. I'm the best one.

No. We don't have favourites.

Where's Amethyst?

She's still with

What, is he still here?

Bonkers.

The world's gone bonkers.

A moral divide is splintering

On the one side, Mackenzie Leigh,

the bold, brash

American and her brothel...

And releasing.

Oh, my god.

On the other, these folk...

I run the day-care centre next door,

and I'm just here to protect

the tamariki of the community.

What exactly is it about

Well, me and my husband

haven't had intercourse

for 15 years.

Yep. Oh. Ah.

He's a hard dog

I'm a little bit worried, you know,

that it might destroy my marriage.

Nah.

You wanna try?

Have you thought

for your husband?

Putting out what?

She tapped out.

Mavis.

And what's brought you here today?

Obviously, the protest?

Oh, oh, and such a lovely day.

Did you ever consider that perhaps

by bringing all this attention

you might be bringing it

to the attention

who may otherwise not have noticed?

I'm sorry.

Go in grace.

They're disrupting my business.

I don't know. You're the cops.

You tell me if it's illegal.

Thank you.

There's no point being here.

Come on, let's call it a day.

So, it's true.

You're a pimp.

I can't believe

the whole time.

Noam!

I think things got

Might as well stay.

Wait, Noam.

I thought they were hot maids.

Look. I'm sorry about the article.

Article?

Mum, it's all over my socials.

What?

You are so embarrassing.

Can we just talk about this?

No. Thanks, mum. I'm good.

We can go for ice cream. Just...

Just go home!

(CROWD CHANTS)

Harry!

I need your help.

(CHANTING)

This is why we need sex workers.

For poor, unfortunate people

and the civilians

I don't believe that.

He doesn't look

What's she doing?

Jumping up and down

OK. OK.

Well, I'm prepared to, uh,

Don't-don't do that. Don't do that.

(GASPS)

Harry has a very real affliction.

His immense physiology

from finding a sexual partner.

It's been so hard...

to never have been accepted

Mm-hm.

We're not perfect,

but there is a place in society

where shame can be banished

and loneliness can be treated

Yeah.

It'd be nice to know

what it feels like

and Sweethearts at least

It's OK.

And, you know...

at the end of the day,

we're just trying our best

but that doesn't change

From now on, the Sweethearts

will cover their lingerie

and make extra efforts

Well, yeah. I guess that's a start.

I mean, I'm not a fan

but, yeah, I guess

That is progress, yeah...

Well, do you think

so that we can get back to doing

which is helping people.

Yeah. OK. OK, guys. Yeah.

Let's wrap it up.

(CROSSTALK)

Hold on, honey.

I've gotcha. Here you go.

Sounds like

Let's take a walk over here,

(CROSSTALK)

Does anyone know

I'll pray for you.

Nope.

Can-can I still come for dinner

Nope.

I'm playing bridge with the girls

Make it Friday.

Oh, no. She's fine.

She does Pilates.

Yeah. Don't worry about her.

Turns out

He was more than happy

And he left a huge tip.

Drinks on me, bitches.

(CHEERS)

What about you?

You can thank me for saving the day.

Uh, I-I can't.

Alright. Suit yourself.

Hey, so, shall I just flush these

No. Leave them for the pigeons.

You coming?

Oh. I was born to come.

Hey.

What, is this a bribe or an apology?

Listen, that article

I'm sorry

And did dad know?

Is that why he's not here?

(SIGHS)

you will realise

But you gotta trust me.

I am making the right decisions

Did you read the article?

Any questions about, you know...

..how the girls are empowered?

Like, how we...

Mum, no, I don't have any questions.

OK. Great. That's good.

Ta.

Good night, Noam.

I'm still mad, though.
