Yeah, I know.

Hang on.

No, they haven't.

Mum, they haven't heard either. Hang on.

Hang on.

Mum, I'm going to have to give you a call back.

All right, I love you. Bye.

35.

Just take that. Cheers. Thank you.

They say sooner or later, everyone needs a reality check.

but some realities are just too awful to contemplate.

Satya?

Satya?

I was just... Hi, it's me.

I'm not going to keep hassling you.

Hi, it's me. I'm at the flat.

Look, if you don't call me back, I'm calling the police.

Okay?

Hello?

Who's this?

Thanks.

I'm sorry, I was just... I wanted to get on the plane. I packed. I just

couldn't. I wanted to call you, but I... It's okay.

It was okay. I was freaking out. I didn't know where you were. You weren't

the flat.

Hi, I'm just... I'm just heading out.

I didn't want to be alone. I couldn't stand it any longer.

Justin, he's an old friend. He said we could stay here. Babe, I had no idea it

was this bad.

You should have told me.

Oh, no, baby.

Shh.

Edward, please.

Babe, it's okay.

I'm trying to talk to Daddy. I haven't slept in days.

He cries all the time.

Then I lost my milk.

He's on formula now, but he still cries, and I just can't... Get him to stay

down. It's okay.

It's not okay and I don't know how to make it okay. You will.

Okay, we will. We will work it out. I just need some sleep.

I haven't slept since... If you could take him for a bit.

Okay, yeah, we can go back to the flat and you can have a rest and I'll look

after him. No, I'll be able to hear him. I won't be able to... You want to stay

here? Please, Nathan.

Please.

Just for the night.

Okay, okay, I'll take him.

Thank you.

Thank you, Nathan.

I'll be fine after some sleep.

All right, darling, but last night you were thinking the worst. At least now

know they're safe.

Yeah, I know, sweetheart.

Look, just try and get some sleep, okay?

Yeah, I love you too.

So he's with Edward, but Saskia isn't? Yeah, she's staying with a friend.

What does that mean?

Well, I don't know. Neither does Nathan.

I hate that he's on his own.

Well, why doesn't he come here?

Daddy's in London.

London? But he just got that job. Yeah, he went back to see Saskia.

I thought she was coming here.

Well, she was, but she... She didn't get on the plane, so he had to go back.

Oh, of course. Yeah, I remember now.

Yeah.

Maybe we should ring Ben.

In Prague.

Julie, it's between Nathan and his wife. They have to sort it out themselves.

So, playing a gig in town tonight?

Um, yeah, I'm sorry, I'm busy.

Oh, yeah? Doing what? Just stuff.

Okay, well, you don't have to go into so much detail.

Stuff? Yeah, truly, stuff.

Would it kill you to meet the bloke halfway?

Excuse me, he's halfway. He's best friends forever.

Wow, what a hassle.

Someone trying to be friends with you. Yeah, you know what? You try living with

him, then we'll talk.

Hey, Jackson.

You coming to cricket training tonight?

Don't know, maybe.

He'll be there. That's all he talks about.

I do not.

He's been practising against the garage wall.

Dad! Well, you have.

Yeah, well, try to make it. It'll be good to have you.

Oi, Jack.

Your project?

Hey, Emma. Hey.

I'm not sure if you remember me. I'm Jackson. Jackson, we met at that

Oh, yeah.

Well, I was wondering if you're home later.

Why? Dad said you go through balconies and stuff.

Yeah, we design balcony gardens and stuff.

Cool. Well, I'm doing this project on small businesses.

I thought you could help me.

Yeah, sure. I'll pop around after school.

Cool. That's where you live, right? Yeah.

Hey. Hey.

Come on, mate. You'll be late for school.

But I don't really want to Even in this home But I

don't really want to Live inside a dream

We're all on the same team We will all agree

There's things we don't know Hey, it's Nathan.

Yeah, I'm in town.

Yeah, I just got here, actually.

Yeah, I'm good.

Actually, no,

I'm not good.

I was wondering if you had some time.

Sorry, I didn't know who else to call.

Nathan, I... I feel awful for you.

Well, I knew she was having a hard time, but I just thought that once we were

together that...

She'll be fine.

She's probably just exhausted.

You know, maybe after a good rest.

Yeah, but she could have done that here.

I feel like she doesn't want to be in the same room as him.

Well, a lot of new mums find it hard to cope. Yeah, I know. It's just... Why

didn't she call me?

I don't know.

The Justin guy?

She says he's an old friend. Why haven't I met him before?

Well, why hasn't she met me?

I'm just saying that, you know, she freaked out and she called an old friend

just like you did.

Yeah. Yeah, I mean, that makes sense.

You look tired. Why don't you go and have a lay down?

Oh, I don't think I could sleep.

When's the last time you ate?

On the plane.

All right.

Why don't you go take a shower while I make us some dinner?

There's no food. Just Edward's formula.

Oh.

Well, why don't you go take a shower while I order takeaway?

Thanks. Yeah, yeah.

Oh, if he cries, you might have to feed him.

His bottle's in the fridge. You just put him boiling water for five minutes.

Oh, right.

Sorry.

Edward,

Sammy. Sammy, Edward.

Oh,

I can't believe it. Me neither.

Do you guys still sell flowers, right? Mm -hmm.

And what are the most popular?

Roses. Everybody loves roses.

Do you like roses, Emma?

I just love flowers. Any thoughts?

How about music?

Oh, um, movie, fights, tequilas.

Mate, what kind of project is this? Small business or how to pick up chicks?

Okay.

There is this girl.

Only I don't know what she's into, and I figured another girl could help.

If we can, but she'd have to be a lot younger than us.

Not that young.

Well, my first boyfriend burned me a CD of all the songs I liked, and every time

I played it, I thought of him.

Oh, excuse me.

Yeah, mate, music's the way to go. I had an ex -girlfriend once, and she was

into Robbie Williams. So I bought her the box set, mate. That night, she

pleased. All right, Emma?

I'm not that into Robbie Williams.

Don't ask me again, okay?

But what did she say?

All right.

Flowers are cool, chocolates aren't. She liked the new Bond film and pretty much

anything with Daniel Craig in it. Yeah, okay, I get it. What else?

If you really want to score, burn her a CD.

A CD?

Yeah, like this guy did for her in high school.

Like, with all the songs she likes.

Great. Well, what does she like?

Brands I never heard of, but...

One of them was Moby Dick.

Moby Dick?

Are you sure?

Pretty sure.

Well, go back and ask her what music.

No way. That was a dumb idea in the first place. Mate, I need to know this

stuff. Then you ask her.

I hope he didn't keep you

awake. No, he was fine.

You're looking better. I am.

Would you like a tea? No, I think maybe we should just go.

Go?

Back to the flat.

Oh.

Look,

I really appreciate your help, but we really should go.

I don't think I'm ready.

Baby can't stay here.

You've got to come home sometime, and I'll be there. Yes, but... What? Stop

what?

There are things you need to know, Nathan.

No, no. What? We need to talk. We need to talk. We need to go back to Sydney.

Shut up!

Nathan! Just go to hell!

That's the thing about reality.

You can only escape for so long.

Are you depressed or something?

What? Just a lot of sugar.

I don't know. Don't touch.

I sure don't want to come to my gig tonight.

A few of my mates have bailed. I'm worried I'm going to play to an empty

I've never bothered you before.

Oh, come on. You'll enjoy it.

No, I can't. I'm actually meeting someone for a drink.

Right, yeah. Well, who is this person?

If you must know, it's my sister.

You have a sister?

Yep. She's not here for very long, and you wouldn't like her anyway. No one

does. Hey, I can win anyone over.

Well, almost anyone.

Okay, just chuck your stuff down there somewhere.

All right, the 99 Cricket World Cup, which is in here somewhere.

Are you playing your first match soon?

Yeah, I'm opening. Dave wants quick singles when I'm not clearing defence.

What? Oh, could you maybe not do that? Oh, sorry.

Oh, that's Dad. Got it? There you go.

Thanks. You can watch some of it here if you like.

Aussies versus the pro tier.

It was a tie. Hey, spoiler alert, Dave.

Hey, Cobes, do you want to stay for dinner?

I'm doing my world -famous bolognese pasta bake. How can you turn that one

Uh, I can't, but...

I can sandwich cooker for a bit. Great.

Out Jackson you, Dad.

Oh, Jackson.

Yeah? I've got some payslips here for your old man.

Cheers.

Hey, Emma.

Hey.

Hey, listen, I just wanted to thank you for helping Jackson out with his

homework. Yeah, it wasn't...

Just about his homework.

He said you gave him some tips on his love life, too.

And you mentioned some bands.

So you know about that?

Yeah. He just couldn't remember which ones.

And you're okay with this?

Well, kids and love, I think it's great.

Well, I mean, I could be wrong, but I get the feeling that maybe Jackson's

got a crush on me.

No, he said there's an older girl he likes and then asked me about my taste

flowers. He's just too shy to talk to the real girl.

Hey. Hey, slips.

Hello to you, too.

Can we go home?

Mate, we were just talking about that girl you like.

There's no girl.

I was asking for Dad.

See how shy he is?

Now he's pretending she doesn't even exist.

I just don't get it.

I don't get how she could do this.

I don't know if she knows what she's doing.

Well, maybe she does.

I mean, maybe she was never getting on a plane. She was supposed to be packing

up this place and renting it out. It's just, it's crazy. The whole thing's

bullshit.

It's about Edward now.

And what's best for him. And I think that you've just got to concentrate on

that.

Yeah. Oh, hi.

You must be Frankie's sister. I can see the resemblance. What are you doing

here? I even sound like her. If it wasn't for the lipstick.

You said you had a gig.

Yeah, not until 11.

You said 9?

They changed the line -up.

Okay, they might change it again, so you should go.

Your sister's coming, isn't she? No.

Maybe. Just a quick hello and I'll be off. Matt!

Oh, hi.

I'm Matt. Nice to meet you. I'm Carla.

Hey, sis.

Hey, great to see you.

Yeah, you too. It's been ages.

So,

Matt, are you a boyfriend?

No. No, he's just staying for a while.

Oh, I hope she's not charging me too much.

You haven't done a thing to the place since Dad died.

You don't find that a bit...

Spooky? No.

No, I mean, I like it like this.

Oh, my, for that. You always like things to stay the same.

My husband and I just renovated our beach house. I can't tell you how

that was. Oh, God, yeah.

I can imagine.

Yeah, you should try wiring a beach house. I mean, I did one in Avalon, and

was really stressful.

It was a split level, and the foundations had shifted, so it was

So, how long are you here for?

Three days.

Business or...? I'm meeting my publisher.

They're doing my first book.

You never told me your sister was an author.

No, no, you're getting published.

Great. Well, what's it about?

The Adventures of Mr Jim Jam, a mischievous pair of pyjamas with a heart

gold. Cool.

Talking pyjamas. Have you read it, Frankie?

Matt, don't you have a gig?

Yeah, no, I've got ages yet.

Hey! Great idea. How about I whip up some cocktail?

You're okay, bud.

Where have you been hiding him?

Under a rock.

Hey, you said quick hello. Oh, sorry.

Just one round of margaritas.

Hi, darling. It's me.

I need to make sure everyone's okay.

Anyway, love you.

I hope Nathan is okay.

Just wait for him to call.

Coming.

Looks like it's my turn to read the stories.

Not for me, thanks.

Since when?

Since always.

You're full of surprises, aren't you, Lou?

Ted, I'm not Lou.

I'm Eleanor.

What?

I'm Eleanor.

Oh. It's all right.

I'm sorry.

It's all right, Ted.

And thanks for the tea.

So then Mr.

Jim Jam and Floppy Joe apologized to Trendy Jean because they realized that

wasn't just a pretty face. Oh, that is a great story.

You've got a real flair for names.

He's got a flair for compliments.

I might just have to take you home. Well, I'm house trained.

Cheers.

So, do you write every day?

I'm addicted.

I mean, writing to me is like sex.

Sorry.

Sex. A story starts slowly, you know, with its own rhythm.

Gradually, you add some tension.

Build and build until afterwards there's just this delicious

gum. Whoa.

She's going to try it.

Um, you know what, Tyler, I think it's getting late. We should probably... You

know, you used to write stories.

Did you now?

No. Yes.

High school.

She wanted to be a writer for about a minute.

Have you still got them?

No. No, they all got lost and they weren't very good anyway.

No, they weren't. But with a bit of practice, I mean, you could have been

good. Sure.

I don't have time to practice. I have a job.

Did you hear that?

Writing's not a job.

I never said that.

That's what you meant. No, what I meant is I don't have time to write because I

work. Right, and after work?

I'm busy after work.

Yeah. Building Daddy's boat.

What is that supposed to mean?

Nothing.

Everybody needs a hobby, I'm sorry.

Oh, it's more than just a hobby. Well, you know, I wouldn't know because I've

never built a boat. Will you shut up about the boat?

I'm sorry, Matt.

It must just be really boring for you. Actually, Carla, I've got to head to my

gig, so if you want to lift somewhere?

Yeah. To your gig.

Hey, Peppermint or Earl Grey?

Just a minute.

What are you looking for? Just looking for a folder. It has all our papers in

it. Why? Why do you need it?

Oh, yes.

Nathan, no. What?

You can't.

No, I'm not going to take him. I just had the feeling she might. All right.

you need to take a breath here.

I mean, you've only just found out about Saskia and you're already thinking

custody. Yeah, I need to be prepared, Sam.

Yeah, but you're thinking of the worst case scenario before you've even spoken

to her about it.

I'm just so angry at her, okay?

Yeah, I know.

It hurts.

But you just have to figure out what you want.

I know what I want.

Go talk to her.

I know you want an explanation.

No, I want you to listen.

I know it's been difficult.

And maybe I shouldn't have left you here.

But I was trying to build a life for you, me and Edward.

I love you.

And it's not too late.

But I'm not going to stick around while you were sleeping with someone else.

It's not like that.

Whatever this weird thing is.

You need to end it.

You need to commit completely to us.

Honestly, I don't know what I want.

I'm so confused.

Please, Nathan, just... I need some more time.

None of this is what I thought it would be.

I want an answer by tomorrow.

All right, then.

Tomorrow.

I need an answer by tomorrow.

The more I think about it, the more lame it feels.

Yeah, well, she can't expect you to wait around forever.

What a bloody mess.

All right.

Do you want to find out what I've been up to?

Sure. Right, well, I've been managing this bar.

The other day, these two guys, Musos, came in, and they didn't have any money,

and so they asked if they could play a song for a drink, and I say no buses

allowed, but they say, look, if they get a complaint, then they'll leave.

Okay, were they any good?

Coldplay? No.

Oh, no!

It was.

Really? The guitar player and the bass player, and I obviously didn't recognise

them, and then one of them asked me out, no big deal. Oh, what did you say?

Oh, come on, I said no.

Not why?

Why do you... I would have said yes.

Well, I'll be sure to give them your number if they ever come in again.

No, I'm right.

Mind you, I probably should have said yes because my visa...

Runs out soon, and I'll need to marry someone if I want to stay in the

Really?

Yep. Well, I can't imagine you'd have trouble finding someone.

Oh, I'm not looking.

I mean, you know, friends keep trying to set me up, and mum thinks that I'm

going to be a crazy cat lady.

But I'm just really happy.

Good. Yeah. I'm really glad to hear that.

Mm -hmm.

How is your mum?

Well, she's on a journey to find herself.

I didn't know she was lost.

Wow.

You said that?

Yeah. Oh, no!

Blame it on the lack of sleep.

Oh, bacon.

It's bacon, bacon, bacon.

Oh, no.

I would give my firstborn for just one rasher of bacon.

Seriously, cereal is just not going to put a dent.

Hang on, I hope you didn't wait up for me.

You know she's married, don't you? Listen, she came to my gig.

We sat at the bar and talked, that's all.

About what?

Her book.

Until six in the morning. Did you know Sloppy Joe and Jim Jam built a go -kart

together?

No, I haven't. read it. Well, maybe you should. You might learn a few things.

Like what? That my thoughts can talk to each other? Maybe a few things about

your sister.

And yourself.

Frankie? Okay.

Here are the Cliff's notes.

Trendy Jean wanted to help with the go -kart, but they wouldn't let her.

Look, the go -kart is your boat.

Jim Jam is your dad.

You are Floppy Joe. Dad, alright!

I get it.

No, it wasn't like that.

I mean, we never stopped her from helping. Yeah, mate, she's jealous of

relationship you had with your dad.

Yeah, all right, Freud.

It's a psychology lesson over for now. Can I get on with my day? Maybe you

should ask her. Yeah, maybe you should just mind your own business.

All right, well, see you later.

Floppy.

Oh, hey, Carla. I was just wondering... Frankie.

Your sister.

Look, I don't want to fight with you. I want... I want you to meet me somewhere.

Hello.

Hi.

I want to explain.

I've known Justin all my life. Is Edward mine?

Yes, the baby's yours.

He didn't want to have kids. That's why we split up.

When you left and I couldn't cope, I panicked and I called him.

You did more than call him. You moved in with him. I messed up.

I am messed up.

But that doesn't excuse it.

I'm so sorry.

But I am in love with him.

I called him for Edward.

I needed to tell someone what I was too ashamed to tell you.

What?

I love Edward.

More than my life.

But there are times when I think, what if he just wasn't there?

I think these things and I hate myself.

Sometimes I'm too afraid to pick him up.

I have to walk away and leave the room in case.

I want you to take him.

What? Just for now.

I want you to take him, look after him.

I think it might be for the best.

I can't stay here.

I'm going back to Australia.

I don't want it to be forever.

Just until I'm better.

Goodbye,

beautiful. Goodbye.

All right.

Give my love to your family.

I will.

All right.

Sam, these last few days, I just couldn't have gone through it

without you.

Yeah. So, thank you.

And you said that some things just aren't our fault.

Well, some things are.

What do you mean by that? I mean nothing.

Everything that happened, it was my fault.

And enough I ever said that I'm sorry, but I'm really sorry.

Nathan, I forgive you.

Thank you. Thank you.

All right.

Bye. Bye.

Please stay in touch as well. You know, I'd love to know what's going on with

everything. Yeah, I will.

Okay. Bye.

Bye. Bye. Bye.

You all right? Yeah. Okay.

Hey,

are

you sure it's not going to sink?

Yeah, I'm sure.

I believe they said the same about the Titanic. Do you honestly think that I'm

trying to drown you?

You may be the world's best female electrician, but if memory serves, I

this is your first boat.

Julie, I have done everything humanly possible to make this safe.

Okay.

I think we're ready to launch, Matt.

Yeah.

Um, Dad's favourite.

Pose of champagne's out of the question.

OK, um... We're here today for Dad.

Um... He began this boat as a labour of love, so it's only fitting that it is

launched by us, the daughters who loved him.

Nice one.

Hey, you can just go on your own if you want.

No, I want you to come.

So would Dad.

You know, Dad would have been really proud of you getting published and

everything.

Don't go on about the book.

No, really, I am happy for you and I will even read it now.

Come on, we need to have a toast.

Frankie, this meeting, it's not a publisher, it's a printer.

Robbie's paying for it. I mean, they're just going to sit in boxes in the garage

and rot.

We should stop competing.

I want us to be close. I mean, you know, I... You're my big sister and I love

you and I...

Oh, they're cute.

Hey,

guys.

You want to give it to Todd?

What are you doing?

I don't get it. It all seemed to be going so well.

It did go well.

Really? I hate to say it go badly.

No.

We were finally talking about Dad and we were on his boat and we weren't

fighting for once.

That was nice.

It was.

And thank you for the advice about Carla.

Even if it didn't end up getting us both drenched. Well, I'm a cabbie. Giving

advice is half the job.

See you later.

What's in your hand?

Nothing.

Opening.

Was it you?

Yeah.

A friend.

Everything's just a joke to you, isn't it?

No, no, it wasn't like that at all.

When Mr Arthur died, I saw how upset you were, so I followed you to make sure

you were okay.

Then I saw what you did at his house and I was touched, so I just wanted to

help. So I just left a lolly and you responded and then I did and

so on.

It was nice.

We were communicating.

It was easier than face to face. Yeah, because you're annoying face to face.

Get out.

Matt, I mean it.

Okay.

But if you ever want to talk...

How beautiful he is.

That DVD was awesome.

I'm glad you liked it.

Steve was a legend.

He was a legend.

Hey.

Glad you like watching cricket.

Because he can't play.

Hey, hey, hey, knock it off. Come on.

He said I can't. I don't care. You just go wait by the front door.

What the hell's wrong with you?

You tell me.

I've been hitting the ball out of the park. You don't say a thing.

He gets a thick edge on his bloody Bradman.

What are you talking about?

You know what?

I quit. Oh, come on. Don't throw it all away.

At least I can throw.

Yeah, you can.

And you could captain the team, but you've got to be part of it first.

Your Cooper's smaller than you. He's not as strong or quick.

You've got to set an example.

Play a straight bat.

Now, are you coming to practice, or have I dropped you home?

You know Steve Warren invented this blog tweet?

Yeah.

When we get to the next, I'll show you.

Say hello to your mum for me.

Why don't you come and say hello?

Not today.

You okay?

I'm fine. Go.

Look, Dad, if you want to ask Emma out, just ask her. Well, how am I supposed to

do that after what you said?

What did I say?

I was asking for Dad.

You made me look like an idiot.

That's because you are.

Well, at least with Emma anyway.

What?

Dad, you've never had problems getting girls before.

Yeah, well, maybe Emma's different.

So how's getting me to run around in life? Are you going to change that?

Play it straight, Dad.

Set an example.

It was never about lying.

I know.

You like her.

Tell her.

Speak of the devil. Mum, I have to go. Bye.

You talking about me?

Generally, yes.

I just wanted a quick word if that's cool.

Sure.

So what is it?

I wanted to apologise.

Using Jack's mind, that was ordinary.

It's clear that you're not interested in me, so coming on to you all the time

must be a pain.

Well, I wasn't quite ready to take out an AVO. Well, all the same, from now on,

I'll pull my head in.

I just want things to be cool between us.

Yeah, that'll be good.

Great.

Well, I'd better go.

Thanks for the apology.

I appreciate it.

Well, I'm off.

Look, I know you don't want to hear it, but I was honestly just trying to make

some sort of connection.

Okay, well, um... If anyone calls, I can try my mobile.

Or just look out for my cab.

I'll be sleeping in it.

Oh, for God's sakes.

Look.

I know I can freeze people out, but you just need to not be so full on.

Boundaries, absolutely.

Yep.

So... So get me a beer.

So when do you reckon this hermit thing started?

Make it a tequila.

Oh, no. I didn't know what it means to believe.

Oh, let me do it. Oh, no.

I didn't know what it means to believe.

But if I hold on tight, is it true?

Would you take care of all that I do?

This was a reality I never imagined.

Life as a single dad.
