Oh, yeah, no, I get it.

It's cunnilingus.

How?

Indigenous pussy, Maori and Pakeha race relations, you know, right up his alley.

But where's the cunnilingus?

Look, bitch, if you can't find the fucking cunnilingus, I can't help you.

I thought... Okay, let's move on.

Hey, bro.

An

homage

to the first wahine, Hine Ahulone.

If I'm honest, I thought it would be a bit more nudity, just because it's a

tawhiti.

50 or more.

50 more.

I think I prefer it when he was naked.

Oh.

Don't you?

He's out here looking like a wet orangutan.

I think it's fantastic.

And how are we, then?

We're good.

I started a little Maori club. I made a new friend. Her name's Faye.

The op shop's great. The aunties love me.

I sent a letter to Sharon and I think I'm going to put my feelers out there

because I want a boyfriend.

Cute, Liz. Get in the purse out there.

Wait, you sent a letter to Sharon?

Yeah.

Shit, that's big, Liz.

I know.

Aren't you, like, scared?

Couldn't be any worse than it currently is.

Oh, we don't know that. She could be a crackle.

Ma, you're catastrophizing.

I mean, I've thought of everything that could possibly happen, and I decided to

do it anyway.

Okay.

So... But if she is a crack whore, you'll help me, eh?

Cork, Liz, you got me for life.

Oh, there's our... Hey, we're going to go get a bunch of KCs. Want to come?

Yeah. Yeah.

I'd be a kumara for sure.

I can see that.

At best, he's a turner.

Oh, that's a number here.

Hey, um, do you know what I said that night?

You know that night that you were... Yeah, I know that night, bro. Yep, I

that one.

Well, um... I didn't mean it.

Like, I meant it, but I didn't mean it, you know?

Yeah, I think so.

It's just different times.

Yeah. Yeah. I mean, bro, you're having a kid.

Yeah.

Yeah, and, you know, I'm excited. You should be. It's exciting.

I mean, I don't want to be a fucking mean dad.

I need to move out of the flat.

Yeah, fair enough.

It took me ages to figure it out, but we're not really the same anymore, are

Yeah, we're not.

Yeah, but that's all good, because you're still my best mate. Yeah, you're

my best mate.

Hey, want some figgy? No.

You know, I was really worried about Ma inheriting Bruce's jeans.

You know, the useless one.

But all I had to do was wait.

What do you mean by wait?

Well, she got off her nono, and she got an interview for a proper job, and she

absolutely nailed it.

The lady told you later, she was exactly what they were looking for.

She didn't tell me about it.

Yeah.

MSD in policy.

She's following in my footsteps.

Oh, wow.

Yeah. She is really going to have to start using that head office.

Ministry of Social Development, you say?

You know, the two of us had thought she was a lost cause.

But Ma has finally pulled it together.

I should really congratulate her more, but she hasn't got the job yet, so maybe

I'll wait till she gets it.

Can't believe there wasn't any drama tonight.

Oh, the tube was so good.

That blood thing was typical poverty, shit everywhere, Billy a point to it,

I guess he loved it and we didn't have to clean it up, so that's a bonus.

Are you mad?

You tell me.

Uh, yeah, I think you're mad.

Are you mad at me?

Should I be?

Can you just tell me what's wrong?

You applied for the job I went for.

You interviewed for the job I went for.

And you lied to me.

You're a snake, Ma.

I was trying to find the right time to tell you. Oh, God. You eat out of my

fridge. You fuck on my bed. You suck the air out of my room. And now what? My

career is yours, too?

Your career?

That's a stretch. You didn't even want the job. I don't care.

I said I was going for that job. I put in the work to prep for that job. And

what? You're going for it the whole time? You said that I was good for the

That's the first thing you said when you told us about it. See, this is the

problem with you.

All you do is take from everyone around you. You're a leech.

Fuck you, Pua.

I've had you back since high school. You were at my house every day because you

didn't want to go home, and you were in my bed every night.

I'm not the fucking leech. Oh, God. Ma, if you're not a leech, then why?

Why did you do it?

Because I need to feel good about something. Really, Ma?

Yes, really, Pua.

Why do you always have something shit to say about me?

Why am I just your punching bag? Your fucking prices.

What? I insult you once. Once?

Let's be honest.

You like it when I'm a mess. When I'm doing good, you don't know what to do

yourself. Ma, when was the last time you were good?

Fuck you, poor. No.

Fuck you, ma. Don't point at me. Shut the fuck up. You shut up. You shut up.

shut up. You shut up. You shut up. You shut... Get the fuck out of my house.

What? Get out.

No, I... Chill for a bit.

I need the water.

Yes, I... I went for the job and I should have told you. I had every

of telling you straight away, but you dismissed me as usual.

Not good enough. You know, the moment it happened... You should have said, oh,

poor, I'm taking your job. When I tried to tell you, you said to my face I

wasn't important to you. What, you think you feeling important is at the top of

my list right now? I don't need to feel important, but I do need to be important

to you. You're my best friend.

Do you think I don't know to tell you I was Susie?

Don't do that.

I have to watch you leave me behind and just be okay with it. Sis, with every

epiphany, every month of fucking revelation you have in your sad life,

been there for you? And who's been there for you?

I'm tired.

I'm done.

What about what I have to put up with?

Oh, I'm poor. Cunt this, fuck that. You're a bitch to me and everyone else

because you're insecure as fuck.

You broke up with a guy who was actually good to you instead of those fuckboys

that drive you out to the bush and fuck you in the dark. It's fucking pathetic.

Hey, girl.

Hi, real ma.

You're happy to get that shit off your chest, eh? Because I'm just some sad

tranny who likes to get fucked in the dark.

That's not what I meant. No, that's exactly what you meant. And what about

If insecurity had a name, it'd be Mariah Michaels, you fat, selfish bitch.

That was the most disgusting thing you've ever said to me before.

No.

What you did was worse.

What do you think that panel saw when you walked in the room versus when I

walked in?

You know it.

You know it.

You already know that I have to try three times as hard to be the woman they

you as. You already know that I have to try three times as hard to not come up

as threatening. You already know that I have to try three times as hard to be as

smart as you.

And yet, you waltzed into the room knowing I was going to be your

knowing the hoops that I had to jump through.

I'm sorry. Ah, too fucking late.

You know I love you, Mama, but you just don't see me.

I'm gonna fuck what you do.

I'm going to bed.

People change as much as me.

But tell me, what's that got to do with me? We're getting older now.

So I'm supposed to bet on you.

Hey.

Cheer up, huh?

Summer waves crashing through.

They show us things that have been left.

Bob, what are you doing here? I'm so sorry, Auntie. Can I stay the night? Of

course, Bob. Come in. It's cold.

Thanks, Auntie.

What did you do?

Kia ora. Kia ora, Mariah.

It's Hayley here from the MSD. How are you this morning?

Good. Great.

Is this a good time to chat?

Yeah, of course.

Great. Well, cut to the chase.

Oh, bub, you've got a ticky on your head.

Oh, dear.

What kind of person are you?

This ragga music make you dance in front, yes. So everybody come and check

butt, yes.

Cause this the music and the art is best, yes. And this is something that we

must confess, yes. This other music ragga girls love best, yes. And in the

there is no contest, yes. Do the ragga baby, come and do the rap. Me say me

ya, love ya, love ya. Me say me wanna dub ya, dub ya, dub ya.

Me say me wanna rap ya, rap ya, rap ya. Cause you're nice, you're nice and

sweet. But we really gonna love you twice, girl. We really gonna hold you

yeah.

What's up, A -Buff?

Look at these plants.

Planted them too close.

And now this one goes to the left to make space for this one.

To get some sun.

They all know how to look after each other.

Keep each other alive.

Happy and growing.

You're a bugger, these plants.

It's two now because you've got no one there. Oh, jeez me. Stop cheating, eh?

Fast game's a good game, bub.

You'll win.

Okay. You need time today.

Sorry to wake you up.

Someone's here for you.

Hey. Hey.

Thanks for picking me up.

All good. I'm surprised you asked me, to be honest.

Pooh and I had a fight.

Did you know?

Well, Raj called Liz and Liz told us.

What happened?

We said horrible things to each other.

I walked out of the house with just my phone in my wallet and then I was on the

train to Ōtaki.

What actually happened?

I went for the job that she was going for and I didn't tell her.

Shit.

The lady called yesterday.

I got the job.

It's all mine.

I could say no and not take the job.

You could.

But I'm not going to.

I'm going to take the job and just hope Pua doesn't hate me.

It's risky, Ma.

I know I could be really good at this.

And I'm not a fuck -up.

I'm just not.

I have to say something to you.

I'm sorry about all the shit that went down between us.

And I'm sorry I called you a fuck -up.

I guess after everything that's gone down, I kind of just miss my friends.

One of my oldest friends, Mum.

You're mine too.

So what, are you coming back or what?

Yeah.

I'm ready for whatever consequences Paul has for me.

Whatever's going to happen is going to happen.

Either way, I got your back.

Some people who are together Slowly drift apart Some that

can't wait for it to end Some people don't even

realize What they have is true to heart Until it's too late

We have always been good friends

You'll take it right to the end of its natural life.

Because you are my inspiration.

You give me reason to live.

Oh, you take me, make me want to go to my highlands. Want to let you know you

keep me warm with your love.

Where's all this stuff?

Where's Pua?

I don't know. Where's my phone?

Oh, it's in the van.

I'll go grab it.

to Oakland and I'm gonna live there.

I'm not sure for how long, but for now it's for good.

I said some really terrible things to you for that.

I am sorry.

But we've been at this for about 10 years and I can't help but think that

we've been holding each other back.

I love you.

I hope you get to do everything that you want to do.

And I'll try to do the same.

Hey, you good?
