BRADLEY:
Oh, God.

SHONA: [over phone]
Do you know what I mean?

[Bradley grunting]

[hob beeping]
And no puppetmaking classes, okay?

Or any of that shit.

I don't want to learn a new skill.

Just something, like,
really laid back, you know?

But that doesn't mean I don't want fun.

All right, what if I did, like,
a nice meal or something?

Squats. Squats now.
SHONA: A nice meal?

My friends aren't gonna fly
all the way from Ireland for a nice meal.

I'm not your bloody travel agent, Shona.
You said you were laid back.

SHONA:
Yeah! I am laid back.

But it's my hen. Just

God! Surprise me.

What are you up to now?

Squats?
Yeah.

Yeah, squats.

I need to do squats.

I've lost my arse.

Oh, and while I'm at it,
no naked butlers

I'll put you on speaker.

You know, I hate all that.

Like a handsome chef is...

Something classy.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Cheeky, you know?

Don't mind if it's cheeky.

So, uh...

Oh, did you manage to get Richard
over the finish line yet?

Shona!

You're on speaker phone.

[Bradley laughing]

This is about sex with Richard, Shona?

He didn't ejaculate.

Oh, Jesus, Shona!

No need to be so medical.

Even with those great tittybojangles?

Bradley! Thank you.

Have you tried everything though?

You know, mouth, hands,
on top, behind, all that?

Well, yeah, it was full service really.

At one point, I was working away at it
like it was a potter's wheel
but no cigar.

Shona reckons it's normal
'cause Vish couldn't get a boner

after his granny died.

Aine!
[Bradley laughing]

I told you that in confidence.

AINE:
Ah, sorry, Shona.

Vish's granny may or may not be dead.

Yeah, his penis might be grieving.
What?

Might be sad
from all the death in his house.

Yeah, 'cause his wife died.

AINE:
Oh, my God! She wasn't his wife.

Well
Can we just stop talking about this now?

Just go back to your stupid hen.

Aine!

Aine, men keep their sadness
in their penis.

Like, they keep
all the panic and the pressure in there

so they don't have to talk about it. Ever.

Sheesh. [breathing heavily]

Oh, fuck this. Look, um...

Don't forget to type up those notes
for the meeting tomorrow. Okay?

Yeah, yeah, yeah.
James, uh, is doing loads of it

and then I'll work on my bit this evening.

I've done loads of notes though.

Good. Well, notes are good.

Type them up.

Oh, and don't half arse my hen.

Yeah, yeah. Okay.
SHONA: Okay.

I'm gonna go. I love you.

AINE:
I love you.

Hey, go lower, please.

Oh, only caI honestlyThat's

Oh, no. I have to sit again.

Sorry.
You look like your womb fell out.

You know,
I actually think men use vaginas

as a place to store their unhappiness.

Like a warm, wet garage for their issues.

BRADLEY: Oh, my God, Aine!

No, I'm justI didn't want
to get lettuce crumbs everywhere.

Why don't you ever eat anything
off a plate, you numpty?

Well, lettuce
is in itself nature's plate.

See? It literally takes seconds.
Oh!

Well, now I have to bloody wash a plate.

Sitting down and eating off a plate

tells your soul you care about it.

I don't have a soul.

[sighs] You look
like a depressed person from a film.

It genuinely stresses me out.

Yeah, but my whole life
does not revolve around
how I look, Bradley.

What, and mine does
because I eat off a plate like an adult?

Oh, I literally did not say that.
You took that wrong.

You took what I said wrong.

Here, have some bread.

Apology accepted.

Oh, I was not apologizing.

Believe you me.

[phone buzzing]
Oh! Mmm.

[gasps] I got a text!
Oh, she's got a text!

Mm, I got a text!

What'd he say?

Oh, my God!

[gasps]
Oh, yay, he wants to see me this evening.

Okay, right.
You know what you need to do?

What?

Distract the sadness out of his penis.

Pfft.
Like, up the horny.

Like put on, like, some sexy clothes.
Do a little dance.

What, really?

Yeah, Emma's done it for me
a couple of times.

And, honestly, boner for days.

Seriously?

Days.

Great.

Uhoh. I got a feeling
this is gonna cost me.

Oh, yeah, it's gonna be
a very expensive dance.

Dance?

What, like Britain's Got Talent?

No. Don't make me laugh.

This is serious.

Sorry. I apologize.

each time we're together
to, you know, perform.

Ironically.

Oh, my God. I didn't...

Uh! I...

I was not...

I was not trying to put you
under any pressure at all.

I thought I might just get you
out of your head.

Yeah
Like I'Cause like

I was feeling like I wasn't,
you know, performing for you

That's what I'm saying.
I don't need you to perform.

You're gorgeous and amazing and fun,
and I just...

I just feel this sometimes almost...

sort of, panic and...

What aboaboutabout

About me? About us?
No, not at all.

Aboutabout anything in particular?
No, it's, uh...

getting older...

My body and Etienne and feeling stuck,

and I feel terrible saying all that.

But, you know,
I'm suddenly responsible for him

and not necessarily wanting to be and

Yeah, I don't know.
It's just sometimes I...

Sorry.

No.

Then that all gets

compressed into your penis.

[both laughing]

[laughing]
Sorry. No. I'm sorry.

Compacted into my penis?

[laughing]
And compressed.

You lift me up.

You're always so up.

SHONA:
Morning, Julie.

Oh! Ha.

Yeah.

SHONA:
Are they from your...

The new...

CHARLOTTE:
WhI mean...

I don't know if we're there yet,
but, uh, yeah.

Well, nothing says, you know,
like, um...

flowers sent to your desk.

Well, you can have some
for your desk if you want.

No, it's okay. I like plants.

I mean, flowers are nice but they're...

you know, dead.

Well, they're still in water
so they'rethey're alive.

Anyway, um, Aine is waving at you.

AINE:
Shona.

Oh. Yeah. Thanks.

AINE: [in a New York accent]
There she is. Sassy as you like.

Shona!

Nice to see you but, unfortunately,
get the fuck out of my office.

You're fired.
[all laughing]

From business.

And James here is taking your job.

Who me, boss?
I'm gonna run, uh, the...

[in New York accent]:
thethe district?

Yeah, sure, the district.

Nice to meet you, James.
Aine, get out of my chair.

Sure thing, business lady.

Uh, those notes you sent me
weren't typed up properly.

Yeah, Julie, so I need
a few more plants for the office.

Just like five succulents
or, you know, whatever.

I was sort of in the middle
of a lunch break.

Okay, I'll do it.

No, no. I'll do it. Fine.

Uh, coffee okay?

[normal voice]:
Oh, my God. Yeah, it was mwah, mwah.

Woke me right up.

I'll give your compliments
on to the machine.

SHONA: You not sleeping again?

Oh, I'm grand.

Hey, you know what her, um, sign name is?

It's actually, uh, Shona.

So just Shona with a...

[blowing raspberries]
...at the end.

Traditional Irish name.

Can I use that?

No.

Uh, um... I'll get on to some plants.

ASAP.

Thank you.

Julie is, uh...
She's overqualified for the job,

but, you know, she still needs
to do all that stuff.

We all did.

JAMES: And we're already trialing
the online platform.

Aine's got a student away in France.

Etienne, yeah, yeah. She mentioned him.

That's what I love about Aine.

She always pays such an interest
in the wellbeing of her students.

Aw, James.

Take Etienne's dad.
He was a bit tricky in the beginning.

In what way was he tricky?
AINE: Ah, no, he wasn't.

But he came around in the end, actually.

Yeah, no. I feel I definitely,
um, eh, got him there in the end.

Yeah. [chuckles]

I'm sure
he'll write her a great review now.

Yeah, you'd think.
JAMES: Yeah.

Word of mouth and reputation
are so important in business.

Our students always, always come first.

And then, you know, obviously,
you leave room to allow for life

and the fact that we're just human beings.

Yeah. I suppose
I'm just wondering what sets this apart

from other businesses out there.

Oh, well, one thing

'Cause I didn't put in the notes
'cause I didn't type

But I would love to do something

We could help kids
maybe make friends or socializing,

and I just think a lot of children
actually have a tough time with that.

Yeah, I love that idea.
Yeah.

I suppose I'm just worried that
Aine isn't gonna have the capital
to invest, that you need.

Mammy is giving me the money.

What do you mean,
Mam is giving you the money?

Did I not put that in the notes?
No, you didn't put it

What do you mean
Mammy's giving you the money?

Because she said
she'd rather give me the money now

than when she's dead
and she can't see what I'm doing with it.

Don't talk about Mammy being dead, Aine.

Mammy bought you the fridge
when you moved into your house, Shona.

Bullshit.

[James clears throat]

Um, also, uh,
in terms of setting us apart,

we were thinking about a program
dedicated to entrance exams

to private schools
like Harrow, Eton, and...

Mmhmm, yeah, and that would be
a real moneyspinner going into the

Not being negative, but why would
wealthy international parents decide

that you two are the ones
to get their kid into Eton?

Well, uh, I went to Eton, so...

Yeah.
AINE: It's there in his CV.

So I’ve got the inside scoop.

Yeah. Yeah, yeah, of course.
It's just, um...

Just would've been handy
to have seen that on the notes, Aine.

♪

Oh, guys,
I think it's absolutely amazing!

AINE: Oh, well, unless I fuck it up.

Oh, no, no, you won't fuck it up.
Don't be silly.

AINE: Oh, you, of course, won't let me.

He's great. I mean,
theythey're both great.

And, James, you just need to get Aine

to type up that extra element that

Which is a great idea, Aine.

And then I'll get it
into the bank Monday, maybe?

Yeah, yeah, yeah, Monday.

Well, I'll do it this weekend then,
and your hen, don't worry.

Uh, by the way, Charlotte, um,

I'll give you a date
for the hen on Monday.

Oh, I'm not sure I'm free, sadly.

Oh, but you don't know the date yet.

James, I, um... I'm getting married,
um, to my fiancé, uh, Vish.

Vish is Indian.

Oh, uh, that's good to know.

Um, I might just go to the loo.

CHARLOTTE:
Oh, it's just by there.

Oh, no, yeah, Julie said earlier
it's actually the ladies.

Uh, where is the gents?

CHARLOTTE: Oh, uh...
SHONA: Uh...

I think it might be
one floor down, maybe?

Listen, guys, congrats
on starting the business.

It's a big deal
to start something together.

JAMES: Thanks so much for that, Shona.
SHONA: Yeah.

It's really great
to get an external eye.

Yeah. We need to head on.
Um, and James needs his wee.

Back to work and stuff.
Yeah. It's brilliant.

But, um, what are you up to this weekend?
Any plans?

Yeah, plans. You, yeah?

Yeah, plans. [chuckles]
I'm up to here with wedding admin and

Actually, you're busy

female character in a shit American movie.

Oh, you're perfect like me.
Mammy, don't interrupt me.

Oh, I can't do anything right.

Like, I'm a good teacher, and I'm kind.

Mammy, don't interrupt.

Or are the people who set up
