'A nice start.

What I mean is that...

'What I'm trying to say is,

'she's been tossing in the bed
a lot lately.

'Look, we've all been
going through quite a lot.

'It's been a tricky time
for everyone.

'It's just that I love her. OK?
I'm not afraid to say that.

'I have to know, I need to know
she's going to be OK.'

Fuck off!
I am happy, you fuckers!

'Oh, Jesus, that's a relief.'

- Sorry.
- 'That's OK, Joy.

'We're learning to deal with this
in our own way.'

CHUCKLING
The 28th of May.

'Why is she laughing?

'Oh, my God. He's not back, is he?
I can't smell his stuff anywhere.

'I can smell him
from three miles away.

'I'm a dog, for God's sake!'

SIGHS

'Yes? What? What now?'

Shit.

' "Shit" shit or shit shit?'

Aidan!

'Oh, Jesus.
It's a shit on the bed.

'Oh, God why do I keep doing that?

'Oh, no.'

- Aidan!
- 'OK, look,

'if I can't see you,
you can't see me.'

- Aidan!
- 'No! Put that down!

'What are you doing? Argh!

'Bad dog ownership!'

Oh, Aidan!
You should stop shitting, Aidan!

GRUNTING,
CANINE AIDAN BARKING

GROWLS
Give me that.

Is Aidan there?

- No, he's gone.
- Were you not just calling him?

No, this was canine Aidan,
not human Aidan.

Human Aidan's never
actually taken a shit on me.

Like, neither way.
Like, not in a gross way

or, like, in a sexy way.

Can it ever be sexy?
I just feel like, no, never.

Although it does sort of feel
like he shat all over me.

Why?

I just feel it was our differences,
you know?

But, like, why should
we change who we are?

I guess we just stopped
making each other happy,

but it's really hard -
this modern way in which we live,

this constant, "Are we happy?"

No, the "Y".

Yeah, it's just my giant Y.

CANINE AIDAN BARKING

Aidan. Aidan! Aidan!

Aidan!

Aidan!

Aidan?!

- Like, what? What?
- Sorry?

- Like, what do you want?
- Excuse me?

Been after me for ten minutes. What?

I-I don't know
what you're talking about.

OK, look,
I had this huge night last night.

I'm incredibly edgy right now,
but...

Did we... Did we?

- Sorry?
- Swipe right?

Huh?
PHONE CHIMES

Oh, my God. You just did
the thing, didn't you?

You texted me to see if it's me.

So, my hands have literally
not moved, and there's my phone.

- What...? Hang on.
- Excuse me! Excuse me!

Hey.

Oh, right. That's a reminder
for your pelvic-floor exercises.

HE CLEARS THROAT,
CANINE AIDAN BARKING

Aidan!
SQUEALS

SHE LAUGHS

Is your dog called Aidan?

- Yeah.
- Ah.

- Aidan.
- Hello, Aidan.

My name is also Aidan.

Ha-ha-ha.
- When I was...

- Yeah.
- So, you're human Aidan.

Thanks. I can be human Aidan.

BOTH LAUGH

Oh, Aidan and Aidan.

KNOCKING ON DOOR
I know you're in there, Joy.

CANINE AIDAN BARKING

Answer the door.
KNOCKING

Get off. Get back.

I can't talk. I have to go to work.

JOY SCOFFS
Seriously, I'm fine.

You're not. You're not fine. You
haven't been answering my calls.

So I've had to get up off my hole,
come over here and check on you.

It's inconvenient. I'm busy.
- Oh, really?

How is Space Rocket Invaders 7
going?

I'm up to level 4.

That's actually not bad.

I just want to see you cry. Once.

Just have a cry...

or a bit of a cry out of one eye.

I don't have any tears.

I don't need tears because I'm fine,

and you're kind of
bullying me now, to be honest.

It's just... I know that today is...

It's... It's...

That works.

I know it's May 28th.

BOTH MOANING

HE LAUGHS
Whoo!

- Those pelvic-floor exercises, huh?
- Yeah.

Amazing.

I mean, I may not be so toned...

like, here or, like, here, or...
here.

- Uh-huh.
- But my vagina's very toned.

Yes, it is.

Just a pity I can't show it off more
in cute outfits, you know?

BOTH LAUGH

I have to go.

TRAM BELL RINGING

Oh, my God, I've got the best idea.

Trish, you should move in with me.

You could play Death Star 9
while I watch Gilmore Girls.

Eating blocks of cheese
in dens on the couch.

"Why not?" is the actual question.

Because I'm about to have a baby,

and I live with Tom,
who's my husband.

Yeah, well, I mean, there is that.

I could move in with you,
help out a bit.

So you could, like, wash your hair
and do a poo in peace.

Go in, take your time in there.

You can get haemorrhoids
if you try and rush it.

I just don't want that happening
to my best friend's bum.

Joy, are you lonely?

No.

I know you don't handle change well.

And this is you coping with it
by pretending it isn't happening

and cutting yourself off
from the rest of the world.

You could advertise your place
for a flatmate.

- With a stranger?
- Yeah.

Strangers are the best.

Hello.

INDISTINCT CHATTER

Oh, God! All your fingers!

Sorry. Are you OK?

Oh, absolutely fine. Yeah.
THEY CHUCKLE

Charlene's looking for you.
There's been some Flora emergency.

They need you up there right now.

I think they've got
some big changes in mind for you.

What?

FARTING
Ooh.

LIFT BELL DINGS

Oh, my God, you're here.

I was just waiting for you,
and now you're here.

Charlene, I work here.

You do work here,
but now you're gonna work here

- even more.
- What?

Everyone is literally
losing their shit.

Everyone's favourite vlogger/
reporter/hyphenated person Flora

is gone, and they are freaking out.

She basically cashed in
a Group It voucher

for some skin resurfacing,
but it turns out,

the plastic surgeon is actually
a dental hygienist who lied.

I mean,
the details are sketchy as fuck,

but she's basically hiding out
down in a cottage in Offaly

while we wait
for the swelling to die down

so we can recognise
some, if any, of her face again.

Oh, my God. Are you her?

Am I her? Who?

- Her.
- You, here. The temp, to fill in.

I already work here.

HE CHUCKLES
You see? That's the spirit.

Oh. No.

I mean, I actually do work here
in a small little office

- down in...
- Her name is Joy.

She's a copy editor.

She is our saviour.
It is so good to meet you, Joy.

JOY LAUGHS

We... We have met a few times.

We have big things planned for you.

Well, not really planned,
because we are in the middle

of an unexpected crisis.
- Flora is gone. Her face is...

She basically can't find
her nostrils right now.

No nostrils, and her pieces

have been one of our biggest
success stories to date,

and our subscribers are gonna drop

unless we can fix this
and find a solution.

And, Joy, we... One minute.

INTERCOM BUZZES

Can somebody get me coleslaw
in my roll today, please?

Thank you.
And, Joy, four of my children

are undergoing orthodontic treatment
at the moment,

and I really need
to get this sorted, yeah?

And we think
that you are the woman for the job.

Hm?

Me?

Oh, God, no. Sorry. I can't...
I can't fill in for her.

I-I don't have any experience.

- Er, Charlene?
- You know,

I conjugate verbs, and that...

Yes. Charlene, you should...
She could fill in.

Charlene can't do it. She
basically runs the office here.

She's our right-hand woman.
- She also has little charisma

and a compromised past.
- But you, Joy,

you have something,
and it's an opportunity

to get away from the...
whatever it is that you...

What exactly is it
that you used to, er...?

Verbs, grammar, prepositions.

Well, I have
a "preposition" for you.

It's a "proposition".

This.

Erm, it's this week's piece.
It's a doozy.

The piece?
Yes, the piece.

As our new happiness hunter
hunting for happiness.

Oh, you know the drill -
hunting out answers

to our quest for happiness,
remedies to modern life's weariness.

Balm for the existential panic
that life is meaningless

and empty and short.
- Whoa.

Mostly through
sponsored treatments and events.

That sounds...

overwhelming.
JOY LAUGHS

I really don't think
I'm the right person for this.

I mean, I do appreciate
that you think that I could.

Well, we never actually said that.

But I...
Yes, Joy, yes!

You don't have to hide
in the shadows any more,

scared to come out because
Flora's light shone so brightly.

You were the wind beneath her wings.

Now, Joy, you're the wind
beneath our wings.

FARTING
Oh. Ooh.

MIMICS TRUMPET

Come on, Joy.
We're under time pressure.

We've sponsors to keep happy.

PHONE CHIMES
Like, actually, literally.

Sorry. Give me a moment.
I'll just turn this...

EXHALES SHARPLY
Fuck.

I'll do it.
CHUCKLES NERVOUSLY

Well, no, you are doing it.

And the TV Awards
are coming up soon,

and this segment
is our best shot at an award.

We'll be there this time
to talk you through...

...watching you.

Come on. Come on. With me.

Oh, dear.
- Oh, balls.

Holy shit, Charlene. What was that?

I can't do this!
- You did it at university.

- Did... Did what?
- Journalism.

No, I studied English.

Oh, well, that's perfect,
cos it'll be in English.

And you like facts and things.
- Er, yeah.

- And writing.
- Erm...

Well, I mean,
I did do a few classes,

but I only really signed up because
all my friends were having kids,

and I couldn't join
their baby groups

cos apparently,
it's weird to join a baby group

if you're not pregnant
or you don't have a baby.

I did write a piece once
about dogs.

What are they thinking?
You know, like, what are they...?

Really, what are
they actually thinking?

JOY CHUCKLES
NERVOUSLY

- OK, interesting.
- Yeah.

So, while you're covering Flora,
you need to copy her format.

Today's event
is at the Aviva Stadium.

Oh, they're gonna be abseiling
off it or something.

Yadda-yadda. And Stan is gonna
be there to help you film it.

Oh, just follow Flora's lead, OK?

She's already established the brand,
and everyone loves her.

She's our biggest feature.

Flora is, or was, our golden ticket.

So no pressure.

Actually, there is pressure.

- Yeah.
- So you need to do this.

Otherwise, we're gonna lose
our sponsors and our jobs.

Oh, and Jeffrey's kids
will have snaggle teeth

for the rest of their lives.

CHARLENE CHUCKLES
Ha.

Oh, dear.
Oh, balls.

Let's get you in the chair
immediately.

I told them about your rosacea.
- Rosacea?

Thank actual God you could do this.

These guys have been waiting
for five months

for a slot on The Happy Hunter.

It's big sponsorship. Big.

It's a "biggie",
as they say in the biz.

So, today, it's like
a psychological exercise.

These are real people
with real fears,

and they are trying
to face them, Joy.

And it's your job
to explore why.

Why, Joy? Why?

Brows are big right now.

Come on, Joy. Come on. Time to go.

Whoa. New look, Joy?

Brows are big right now.

That's where you're going, Joy.
You're abseiling down.

Pardon?!

Oh, no, I'm not gonna be doing it.

Oh, yes, you are, Joy.
That's part of the piece,

your "experience".

- I can't.
- You have to.

Buckle her in.

Ooh!
Guys, it feels quite bunched.

You would let me know
if you could see my knickers, guys?

JOY LAUGHS
Guys?

Stan. Stan, get in there.
Get this. Get this.

- Really?
- Yes, yes.

Hang on.
I can't hear you from up here.

Hang on, now.

They do give you quite the wedgie.

Don't they?

It's really up there.
- Oh.

- Take this. Take this.
- Oh. OK.

Oh, gosh. I'll do that.
- Yeah.

It's just pretend.
- OK, yeah, yeah.

Take this. Take this. OK.

Just see them as real people, OK,

who are here to take the plunge
into a whole new world...

Mm.
- ...off the roof of the Aviva.

It's a metaphor.

Metaphors, real people.
Just go in there, Joy.

It's very, very high.

Yes.

JOY BREATHES DEEPLY
Whoo!

Whoo.
JOY CLEARS THROAT

Hey, people. Hey, peoples.

Be cooler.

Cool.
Cool.

Hey, ya fuckers!
- Too much.

Be like Flora. Be like Flora.

Oh, OK.

Hello, there.

Thank you so much
for coming here today.

We're really excited
that you're here.

She's not American.
JOY CLEARS THROAT

Thank you so much for coming.

So, this is all about
facing your fears.

Why are you here?

Oh, it's just
an experience-type thing.

Like, loads of people are doing it,
and it's getting really popular.

My mum said when I came out of her,

I just came out so fast,
I bounced right off the floor,

and it was pretty traumatic.
- That's lovely.

- Aw.
- So I'm personally rebirthing.

See if it sorts out some "stuff".

Aw, that's so nice.

- The old woman.
- Absolutely.

Excuse me, old lady.

Why are you here?

My counsellor says
I need to find a new "high"

to replace the porn addiction.

Aw.

She's been watching a lot of porn.
That's good.

They say that's good.

Mm.
Cool.

Get him. Get him, Stan. Get him!

Excuse me, sir,

has anything so scary
happened in your life

that it changed you forever?

That was good.
- Yeah, it was.

Joy.

Aidan.

SHE EXHALES
How are you?

Er, I'm... I'm OK.

Yeah. Stan,
will you give us a second?

Er, yeah.

I, er...

I have this cool new job now.

Which is really cool.
- Yeah.

I mean, you know you always said,

"You should mix things up, Joy,"
so I'm, like...

I'm, like, mixing things up,
motherfuckers!

Ooh!

SHE LAUGHS

What the fuck, Joy?

It's just the guys.

JOY EXHALES DEEPLY

Hey, this parcel came for you today.
It's at our home.

At the... the house that we're...
that I stay in.

In that place.
Yeah. Erm...

It's not really important any more.
You can just throw it in the bin.

Throw it in the bin.

God, Aidan, this is so weird.
What are you doing here?

Someone I met told me about it.

OK.

Today's the 28th of May.

It would have been
the second-year anniversary of us.

So... I know that you like
to do things a certain way.

And because
it's a special occasion...

...I thought that maybe...

that we could do something
that we haven't done before.

Would you consider
and do me the honour...

Oh, my God, Aidan.

Is this, like, a formal request?
- ...and allow me...

to take you up the...

- What, take me up the...?
- ...up the Eiffel Tower?

Oh!

For our anniversary.

SHE LAUGHS

Hey, it's like a fresh start
and all that, you know?

Jumping into my new life.

OK, time to go over now, Joy.
Stan, get in there.

Joy, you're going over.

Who's that? Yeah, move away.

Move away. I don't know who you are.
Move away.

Actually, on that,
is there time for a wee?

- Oh, my... Later.
- Later. Later.

Just go over.
Stan, get in behind her.

- You're doing this?
- Yeah.

Hurry up now.
- Beautiful.

OK. Yes. Yay!

Whoo!

That's it.
Ah!

OK. Yeah.
All right? Head next.

JOY GROANS

GROANING CONTINUES

And we'll even lock it.
- Perfect.

OK, so, lean out
with straight arms for me.

And this black rope is yours.

This is mine.
Keep the dominant hand low.

- OK.
- Yeah.

Yeah. OK.

WHIMPERS,
GASPS

You got it.
- OK.

Hands down away from the steel.
Jesus.

When you're ready, lift your feet.

There you go. You're abseiling.

JOY EXCLAIMS

Oh, to answer
your first question...

Yes?
- ...did anything so scary

ever happen me
that it changed me forever?

Huh?
- Yes.

WHIMPERS

Ah!
JOY SHRIEKS

Ohhh! Ah!

'Ah!'

Tough day?

Tough day.

I draw these lines on my glass

because I know
if I drink down below it,

I'll need to get up in the night
for a wee.

Then I just remember everything
all over again.

It's just better
to try and stay asleep.

8.5 hours of not thinking.

Joy.

CANINE AIDAN PANTING

LIQUID TRICKLING

He just peed on me.

Oh.

So sorry.

See, now, him...

...he's the one who's not dealing
with all of this well.

Apologise.

"Sorry."

Will I put on a sad song and see
if we can squeeze out one tear?

- Yeah.
- Yeah? OK.

OK.

Here we go.
