Yes, hi. Ah, you're Ange?

Present Do you need help with your things?

Any problems at all, I'm just two doors down

Your bath is down the hall Don't take them myself

Something about sitting in your own filth

How many are joining you?

I wasn't sure how much bed linen to leave

Oh, no-one. It's just me

Oh, big house for just me

So, what are you doing in Osprey?

I'm working

What do you do?

I'm, uh, I'm writing. I'm a writer

Oh, cool. What do you write?

I'm working on a travel piece for the region

Yeah, they're saying Osprey Point's the new Byron Bay

We're moving you

I've just had a cancellation right by the beach

Oh, no, I'm fine, actually This is so beautiful

If you're writing about the beaches, wouldn't you rather be by the beach?

No, I'd rather be here

Oh

How long have you lived here?

Most of my adult life

Ah. Where are you from? Sydney

I... I bet you've seen lots of changes

Not really

People here don't like change

Selfish NIMBYs who don't want progress and growth

Anyway, here's your credit card form

Ah, do you actually mind if I pay in cash?

It's just easier when it's a work trip

Sure. Cash works. Love cash

Three weeks until schools go back, and I am counting the minutes

Gotta go. I'll be back Yes

Welcome to your new home away from home. Ah!

What do you mean, Elvis wouldn't let you play with your own ball?

She said it was her football

Well, it's not hers, it's yours

Somebody needs to talk to her mothers about this

Now, what do you boys want for lunch?

Cheese and ham toastie

Cheese and ham toastie. OK

Hey, Ange

Is everything all right?

Essie's asleep in the car with George

Remember that tragedy at the casino?

Do you think Essie's been gambling?

It's not funny, Fran God

Looks like a murder-suicide

No, never wake a sleeping mother That's not the expression

We're in a heat wave

Yeah, we are, too Ange!

Hey, what's going on?

Nothing

Thank you

Rent money, number four Oh!

Cash. How quaint

Ha. I'm Isabelle

Oh, I'm Fran

Cool Yeah

Great

See you at seven

Dinner Ah, dinner

Yes, no, didn't forget. OK

Is she another tenant?

Fran? No, she's a neighbour

She seems, uh.. She's very... practical

Well, thank you for that Yeah, good

Goodbye Bye

Essie, it's time to head inside

It's too hot out here, even with the aircon on

Yep

Hi, how'd you go? Yeah, good

Who rents a four-bedroom house when they're on their own?

Hey, I might go for a quick surf before dinner

The swell's really picked up There's a nice cross offshore

The tenant at number four

What does she need four bedrooms for?

Don't know, babe. Don't know

Are these eschalots? Hey, before I forget..

These... I think these are shallots

No, aren't shallots the little brown ones?

No, they're eschalots At least where I'm from

It's fine. I'll go back I have to pop into the office

Hey, before I forget Can you keep the boys off screens?

Ange? Wait

Ange. Ange

The joint credit card, it bounced at the store

That's weird Yeah, I've been putting money in

Yeah, so have I

It mustn't have cleared I'll sort it out

OK, I'll go for a surf when you get back

Sure. They're coming at seven

Can I play online with Jack?

Uh, yeah, mate, go for it

Actually, ah, no, Will No screen time

What the heck? Why? Why don't you practise your layups?

Or you could vacuum

No

Who's coming at seven? Holly and Lulu

It's been in the calendar for weeks And Fran and Nigel

Eschalots

Jennifer, did you not see the protest posters on our window?

No. Where were they?

Literally right in front of you Oh

How'd you go with the renter?

Fine. She's writing an article on the town

Thinks it's the new Byron Bay

Bit of a stretch. Who's it for?

Good question. Forgot to ask

What's her name? Isabelle Ackner

There's nothing under that byline

Maybe she writes under a male pseudonym

A lot of women did that

In the 19th century

How are things here? Any calls? Holiday rentals?

Clive Murphy wants you to meet him at the cafe in... now

Oh, Jennifer Why don't I like the sound of this?

He's probably seen the anti-Eureka posters

Again, exactly what I don't wanna hear

Can you clean this window while I'm gone?

There's eucalyptus oil in the back

Clive, what can I do for you? I'm out

Wow. Uh, can I order a coffee first?

Double espresso, please

You're out?

Because of a few posters? It's one person

There's a whole alliance of them

insisting that the development of this project

will ruin the environment

It's a last-ditch nuisance from a bunch of oldies

who don't want the town to grow

Well, they have a council hearing

Well, only because the council is required to review their objection

It's a formality, that's all

I assure you, I have a very strong relationship with Councillor Foley

He and I used to..

It doesn't matter

My daughter, she's into animals and birds that migrate..

The developers hired environmental consultants

The council's approved everything to date

She says the wetlands are gonna.. Eureka will have its own wetlands

It's all part of the development plan

You can be involved with that as an owner

Your daughter, too, if she wants

Man-made wetlands aren't the same

Clive

Eureka is a bespoke development

Just ten properties

And yours is the only one I'm selling

The only one available

You bought it because you're a smart businessman

I'm still within the cooling-off period

Don't make a decision you'll regret

OK

I'll give you till the council hearing

But if this mess is not cleared up by then..

It will be ..I'm out

And I want my deposit back

Got it?

Got it

Good

Think your chain's come off

I can fix it, if you want

I'm a chain expert. Yeah

What's your name?

Oliver Lucas Romero

Oh, well, Oliver Lucas Romero, I'm Isabelle

Where do you live?

Over there

What are you, like, 12? 13?

I'm eight You're eight? Get out of here!

How old are you? Oh. I'm 38

Wow. You're old Oh, gee, thanks

How old's your mum?

32?

Ah. She's young

I think my dad's 56

His name is Lucas

Lucas?

Ah, well, a family of spring chickens,

except for your poor old dad

All right, all fixed Thank you

Yeah. You're welcome

'..much of the south-west region

'remains struggling with a January heatwave

'in its fifth consecutive day of temperatures over 43C

'The Bureau of Meteorology...'

Hey, dinner at Ange's tonight It's in the calendar

Is it? Yeah

I don't think so

Yeah, nothing but Rosie's piano Oh

Nigel, it's a Diplodocus Can you call me "Daddy", please?

Our calendars mustn't be syncing I'll have to fix that

It's a Brachiosaurus It's right here

Can you see the difference?

Can you say I've got something else on?

What? No, it's Ange

She'll want all the details,

and not even I can make up a lie that far-fetched

Oh, darling, you've got this the wrong way round

Mummy, no Sorry, I can't help myself

Come on, Nige, don't be so anti-social, please

I'm not being anti-social, Franny, I'm being clinically depressed

But when you're out, you're great You're much better than I am

People have said that

Who said that?

I don't know, someone, once Exactly

Fine. Stay in

I'll make an excuse

I'll come. I'll come

I'll even get changed

I tidied my desk

Good job. What about your floor?

Get back there

I can't remember if you have carpet or floorboards

Mum, it's the holidays!

Yep, holiday from school, not from life

Oh, shit

Uh, would you mind running a rego? What case is it under?

Actually, it's a welfare check

Missing persons?

Yeah, something like that

Do you know the model? Uh, '77 Triumph

Love your car Mm

Thanks. I'm Isabelle I'm here for a few weeks

I'm Ben

It's a 2500, right? Yep

What's the acceleration like?

Oh, it's slow Mm

You can take it for a spin, if you want

Oh, I'd love to, but I got to get inside

You got the baby, yeah? Yeah, and the six-year-old

Ah Yeah

Must be something in the water

This cul-de-sac's literally crawling with children

Yeah

Open the tunnel

It's Puffing Billy coming to the tunnel!

She is not a baby, Mum

Oh, well, I can't stay here all night

So much to do Did he go down all right?

Yeah, it's midnight when he wants to party

Evening, my ladies Hello

Hello Hi

Hello. Hello. Mwah!

Hi, Barbie. Mwah Hey, hey!

That name is banned in this house

There you go Is he down already?

Yeah. Just now

How was he today? The same

Yeah? How long did he sleep for?

I don't know. It's a blur

I think I might have day-night confusion as well

Ooh, I am starving

Didn't you get any lunch?

Yeah, I did, I went to Holly's,

and I got one of those plant-based things

I mean, it was tasty,

but I could have eaten about five kebabs straight after it

Well, the way we're treating the earth,

we'll all be plant-based soon

Don't scare him, Mum

Oh, hey, I met the new renter across the road

Said I could take her car for a spin

She's a beauty The renter or the car?

OK, Missy-Moo. Time for a bath

I think you'll like her

I mean, you could do with some friends

who can speak in complete sentences

What you reading there, Ess?

The latest Spotlight catalogue Mm

This one's good

I'm gonna take this to bed

Give me one No

You're gonna have to take it I'm juggling

No, I'm not into developments, but, yes, I'm excited about Eureka

I think it's good Really?

What about the impact on the native wetlands?

You can't tell me it's not gonna have one

Oh, Nigel

The developers conducted an environmental assessment

and found no significant issues

Yeah, I mean, of course they did,

cos they're a pack of see-you-next-Tuesdays

The council was also satisfied

Everything was fine until Barb and her friends started agitating

Well, she doesn't just sell houses, it looks magnificent

Mm Mm

Oh, don't start yet, I've got to get the pasta

Tools down Yep

Can I start on the potatoes?

Is that all right? Yeah, get stuck in

OK

There we are

OK, eschalot pasta for the vegans

Oh, we used to be the lesbians, now we're the vegans

That's progress Is it?

I hope it's not overcooked

It's intimidating cooking for a chef

No, sit down, shut up It looks really good

Yeah, it really does, Ange

So why are Ben and Essie not here?

Well, how else can we talk about this properly?

I mean, if we want better schools and more reliable infrastructure,

this town needs to grow

I agree, but I also support an independent impact study

Oh, shit, I forgot the dill

You are not allowed to eat that fish

No, not till we get the dill. No

That's mine

Yeah Instagrams

Hey, how is, um, the new studio, Lucas?

Um, that's a great question, it's uh..

It's going great

He's gonna start doing family portraits, if anyone's keen

Yeah Yeah, yeah, sign us up

Sign us up Cool

Elvis broke it Oh

Oh, that took me a full weekend to build

It's from the architecture series

That was good Yeah

Ah. Does he do that every night?

He likes washing up Says it helps him wind down

Wind down from fucking, what, surfing?

Oh, shush Sorry?

Speaking of winding down, how's the thesis going?

That was a terrible segue I'm so sorry

It's OK

Uh, it's still going

Oh, mate, you've been writing that for, um..

What? Four years

Four years? Mm

Which isn't uncommon, you know

Um, some PhDs can take decades to complete, so..

Yeah. What's it about again?

Uh, it's about erotic language in 20th century literature

Oh. So romantic

I need to read more

So, like academic porn?

Ah

That's funny, yeah. Yeah

No, it's um, it's not as sexy as that

It's a little bit more nuanced too, so..

Bet bedtime's fun at yours

Can I join? Mum?

Mum?

Yeah? There's an old lady here

Do we know her?

Isabelle

Hey! Sorry. Ah, sorry, I didn't know you were entertaining

Um, that was, uh, absolutely delicious, Ange,

but I think I'm gonna head off

Oh, what about dessert?

Isabelle. Bit of a red flag

Sit down. Cereal? Yes?

Yes. Tag! Yes. Great

Oh, I don't know

Maybe she's not big on photos or videos

She isn't on any of them

Well, maybe she's too cool for social

Can I have Facebook? Me too

Ah, no, cos it's for uncool adults like Mummy

Can you drop Will at Sam's on the way to the beach?

He has a play date Yes!

Can I have a play date too? Yes, you can play on the court

What else did your parents say about me?

That you're a red flag

What? You're a red flag

Hi, I'm Ange from Ange's Agency

A little about me

My husband and I decided to..

No

My husband and I decided to raise our boys..

love it here

Oh. Mm

My husband and I decided to raise our boys in Osprey Point

because we love it here

We enjoy going to the beach, going on long bushwalks, playing tennis

I'm actually club president

Oh, fuck

Community. OK. Get involved. OK

Hi

I'm Ange from Ange's Agency

That's crap. Um..

I don't want the mug

Live the dream, sell the dream

What separates me from the competition?

I like to get to know my clients

Secondly, I'm fun

Go again. OK

Reset

'I like to get to know my clients

'Second, I'm fun

'Whether you're buying or selling, let's have a good time

'Lastly, I'm good at my job

'Ange's Agency, bringing you home.'

You right, buddy?

I was at my friend's, but I have asthma

Ah. Me too

Do you have your puffer handy?

Here, I'll help you. Come on

Oh, it's a big hill, isn't it? Hold your breath

And let go

Yeah

Why don't you just have a rest now, on here?

Yeah

Good, OK

Uh, what the fuck?

Hi. Um, do you...? I'm looking for Will's skateboard

What are you doing in my house?

He had an asthma attack I brought him home. He's..

Is he all right? Will? Will? Just looking for his board

Are you all right?

I'm fine

Yeah. I'll, uh, leave you guys to it, then

She helped me find my puffer

Why are you being weird?

I'm not being weird

G'day Ah, hey!

How are you going?

Fran's outside The girls have called wine o'clock

What's going on?

Why are you being weird?

I'm not being weird

I thought you said Will let her in

I feel... I feel violated

I mean, she helped your son Isn't that a good thing?

Will's ten. He doesn't need help with his puffer

It all felt very..

Don't you find it strange that a writer is not on social media?

Yeah, very

Writers are usually the first to promote themselves

I dated one once

Incredibly narcissistic Mm-hm

You know, I don't find it all that strange

I mean, plenty of credible journalists

prefer to fly under the radar

Oh, Ollie

Oliver, honey, don't You'll get bitten

She's torturing insects again Well, she's not a sociopath

Darling, maybe don't hurt the ants, yeah?

I couldn't find any trace of her online

And do credible journos write travel pieces?

Yeah, of course they do It's a plum gig

I mean, who wouldn't wanna fly business class

and stay in all the best hotels?

Oh Exactly

Well, I think she seems nice enough

Who seems nice enough?

Isabelle. The tenant at four

Oh, Ben said she's beautiful Ha!

Oh, she's not that beautiful She is

Poor woman

If only she knew paying in cash would cause such mass hysteria

Who uses cash these days? Drug dealers

Sex workers Baby-sitters

Women on the run Yep

Exactly

Just saying Mm

Ollie

I wanna watch something

Where's your dad? He's gone for a surf

Get dressed. We gotta go

Where? To work

Oh! Yeah

'All right, boys, in you get.'

Right

Just a sec

Stay here, OK?

Let's see how you like it

What a pig!

What are you doing in here?

I came to return the money we owe you and to look at the AC

Why do you have this?

I'm sorry, but surely, this is a breach of our tenancy agreement

But it's OK for you to break into my house?

I was helping your son

Well, I didn't wanna leave cash in the letterbox

Why are you writing down my family?

My kids?

I was looking at the local property market for my story

I saw that you run an annual street party, so I thought,

"Great, what a good time to come visit."

That's a private event for residents

Oh, well, in here, you say everyone's welcome

Others can come if they bring a plate

That doesn't explain why you're writing down the ages

of everyone in my family

It's research

And your family is just a sample of a street,

which is a sample of a town

Believe me, if I'd known I'd get the Spanish Inquisition,

I would have gone to a different place

on the Great Ocean Road to write about

Do you really wanna write a story about the local property market?

All right, boys, out

Go kick a ball What with?

I don't know, sweetheart, use your imagination. A pine cone?

OK, right. We're going this way Oh

This will all be paved Lovely

Eureka is a small development,

but it still means ten families will be able to live

in this highly sought-after coastal Paradise

I imagine there's a fair bit of pushback

from locals, environmentalists?

People get proprietorial on Paradise

They don't wanna share

But they have no right to sabotage a development

that's got all the proper approvals

when there's a housing crisis in this country

Put that in your article

Sorry

I'll let you get that

Wait, boys! Chuck it!

Whoo! Chuck it, chuck it

Oh! Oh Oh, did you see that one-handed?

Yes Did you see that?

Yeah Yes! Go on, chuck it

Three, two, one!

No! Too easy!

This heat's driving me crazy

Yeah, but it's time next year,

we'll be sipping on cocktails, dipping our toes in the pool

Or we'll just be in it. You know?

I think we should wait

Might be overcapitalising What?

You were close to digging the hole yourself last week

Yeah, well, this year's been tough

Setting up your business, ironing out the kinks in mine

Sales market's dead

Yeah, I mean, it's fine by me, I got the beach

Hey, Ange, you're amazing with money, OK?

Like, all of this?

All of it is because of you

So whatever you wanna do, I'm fine

What I want is to not have to do shitty rentals

I really need your business to start pulling in money, Lucas

Will's got private school next year, we have two mortgages

Yeah, OK, OK

But I didn't want or need the studio. I'm barely there

Well, you should be Portraits make money

Why'd you turn your location settings off?

Why are you checking my phone?

Because you don't communicate with me

Oh, great Sex alert. Perfect timing

It's not a sex alert It's an intimacy alert

Let's do it

Let's do intimacy? Yeah

I don't want to Twice a week is one too many

Well, we didn't do it last time, remember?

It's too hot
