[gentle R&B music playing on stereo]

All right?

Hi, my love.

[sighs] Here's your stuff.

-What the fuck? -Don't get all worked up.

What happened?

Tripped over the rug at the office.

Don't bullshit me, Fredrick.

Don't call me fucking Fredrick.

Don't lie to me. Spill it.

Look, I just... I-I had a bit of a day, all right?

Oh, fuck sakes.

It's fine. Just chill out, okay?

Don't tell me to chill out.

Telling me to chill out's not gonna chill me out.

I thought you sorted all that shit.

I did, but...

So you're not gonna stop, then.

I am. Just...

Look, I haven't gambled since...

since... the last time. But,

I mean, I've got these guys who owe me money

and they haven't paid me, so...

So, what are you gonna do?

I'm gonna sort it out.

Why don't you talk to Ray?

I'm not gonna talk to Ray.

Oh, God, you're a stubborn bastard.

What's for tea?

Lasagna.

-You get the dunny paper? -Oh, fuck it.

[mutters] Oh, fuckin' hopeless.

[pop music playing in distance]

-I'm getting changed. -Okay.

-How you doing? -Yeah, good, Ray.

-How are you? -Yeah, good.

What's happening?

Can we talk?

Sure, yeah.

What's up?

Uh, look, uh... I know that

you know Freddy's got a bit of a gambling problem.

Yeah. Yeah.

But, um, he's in a bit of trouble.

Hmm.

[horse whinnies]

Oi, can I help you?

-Yeah, I'm looking for Remy. -Why?

A mate of mine owes him some money.

-Who's your mate? -Freddy Vellah.

You're friends with that piece of shit?

Beggars can't be choosers, mate.

So what do you want? You here to pay your buddy's tab?

I'm not that generous. Is he up there?

You tell that dickhead mate of yours if he doesn't pay what

he owes in the next week, he ain't gonna be walking so good.

Aah! Fuck.

[groans] Goddamn it.

-Fuck. -How you going, mate? All right?

Good. You?

-Yeah. -[groaning]

Can we talk?

We can do that.

[panting]

Fuck.

Sorry about that.

Uh...

I'm a mate of Freddy's.

Uh-huh.

Uh...

Everybody knows he's a degenerate.

I was hoping you could, uh...

go easy on him.

And if I don't go easy on him?

I'm not here to threaten anybody, mate.

I'm just here asking for a favor, that's it.

Um, I know how to repay one, so...

just ask around about me.

Okay.

And who are you?

Ray Shoesmith.

I thought you and Freddy had a falling out.

Nah, we just had a rough patch.

Fair enough.

Well, I can't wipe the debt.

Yeah, I don't expect you to.

You know, if you can just give him a bit more time.

Yeah, I can do that.

Beauty.

Good to meet you.

Likewise.

Do you know who that was?

Some fucking clown.

That was the Magician.

The what?

Just, like, little things all over the poster.

-Yeah. -[chuckles]

Hey, what are you guys doing?

Making posters.

Oh, yeah? What for?

The climate change rally.

In the city.

Oh. Oh.

Climate change, eh?

You guys don't believe in that rubbish, do you?

It's not rubbish.

Come on, everyone knows that temperatures are rising

because of the chemtrails.

-What are chemtrails? -You know, the planes.

The planes are releasing chemicals, you know,

like barium, aluminium, strontium.

It's carbon emissions and it's not rubbish.

Oh. Okay, Greta.

Okay, boomer.

You even know what a boomer is?

-You're a boomer. -No.

Boomers are born after World War II

and up until the late 1960s.

-I'm not that old. -You look that old.

[both chuckle]

ZOE: It's like...

You know tarot cards?

-Mm. -It's like tarots,

-but there aren't any cards. -Mm.

Anyway, I was reading this introduction to the I Ching.

There was this guy and he was, like, this Taoist master.

-Mm. -And he said

that everything that happens

is for a good reason.

Mm.

So, like, even if something bad happens,

there's, like, a good reason for it.

Yeah, I think... [clears throat]

[sniffs] ...one of the good things about getting older--

like when I was younger and something bad had happened--

I'd always get really upset about it.

But then you get older

and you realize that when something bad happens,

you know, something good

is just around the corner, you know?

It all evens out.

Yeah, so...

-so, an example is, like, you know penicillin? -Mm.

Do you know how they discovered penicillin?

Nuh.

So, they were in a lab and, like,

they didn't clean the equipment properly.

-Mm. -And mold grew on it.

And that's h-how they discovered penicillin.

Like, that was where they got penicillin from.

Shit. There you go.

-[pop music playing softly on stereo] -ZOE: Hmm.

So, how long were you together for?

Just over a year.

Are you still friends?

Nope.

How about you?

My last proper relationship was about three years ago.

Mm.

And I was seeing this guy a few weeks ago.

It was, like, a casual thing,

but I had to give him the flick

'cause he wasn't real good in the old sack.

And, you know, if I was more into him

it probably wouldn't have been, like, a big deal, but...

...there's only so many orgasms you can fake.

Tell me about it.

-Do you fake a lot of orgasms? -Oh, heaps.

That must be quite hard as a guy.

It's next-level.

-Poor thing. -Mm. Thanks.

-When was the last time you had a real orgasm? -Oh...

Can I ask you something?

Yeah.

Why do you fake it?

Because sometimes you know that you're just not

gonna get there and you don't want to make the guy feel bad.

So why don't you just say, "Hey, buddy,

you're not doing it for me"?

'Cause I don't want to hurt someone's feelings.

[laughs] What?

I'm a nice person.

That's your problem.

You're not a nice person?

Pfft. Fuck that.

What's wrong with being nice?

It's weak.

How is it weak?

You're worrying about what people are gonna feel.

You shouldn't. You should

just tell them the truth. I mean, this guy,

you could've told him what the problem was,

you could've sorted it out.

But now, I mean, he's gonna go

and sleep with somebody else

and then he's gonna sleep with somebody else,

then somebody else,

and then you got all these women

who are gonna have to fake orgasms

because nobody wants to tell him the fuckin' truth, you know?

I mean, you're not really helping out

your sisters, are you?

Well, it's not my fault he was shit.

No, course not. But, you know,

you could've done something about it, though.

-That's not my responsibility. -No, it's not. Definitely not.

But you can't really complain, can you?

I'm not complaining.

Little bit.

Can you roll me one of those, cowboy?

-[scoffs lightly] -What?

Well, I'm not a cowboy, but there you go.

Thank you.

Ah. Phew.

[music playing in distance]

Thanks.

So...

What?

Are you gonna make a move or...

On you?

No, on her.

RAY: Mm.

It depends.

On what?

Whether or not you're gonna fake it.

Well, I won't have to fake it if you know what you're doing.

Mm.
