Adam!

Mum, I told you to knock.

I'm trying to sleep.

Is that all you're doing in here?

What do you want?

Blue?

Or red?

Really?

Please, Adam, I'm a little stressed and I'm gonna be late.

Plus I can feel my hay fever coming on.

Did you take a pill for it?

Yes, I took a hysterectomy earlier.

Antihistamine.

Yes!

Look, you're the closest thing I have to a daughter,

so blue or red?

(Adam groaning)

Blue.

Really?

I like the red.

Mum, look, my exhibition is in a few weeks

and I haven't even started yet.

You know, you should really get out of this room sometime.

That's not a bad idea, I should work outside.

It's a nice enough day.

No, I mean, so you could meet someone.

Look at me, early forties

and I have no problem finding a date.

Yeah, early forties, practically 50.

Anyway, he has his own holiday house in Echuca,

we're staying there tonight.

Oh, well, that's good I guess.

I mean, it is Echuca, but, you know, if he owns two houses,

he must be doing all right for himself.

Well, you see, the thing is,

he actually lives with his dad in Melbourne,

because he's been traveling a lot overseas

for the past 10 years.

Oh, so he doesn't actually have a home?

I'm running late now.

(upbeat synth music)

You still taking these?

Sorry?

These things are no good for you, trust me.

Not that I care what you think,

but I have a prescription for those.

They're helping me with my weight.

You don't have a prescription, 'cause you don't need one.

Look, I don't see how this is any of your business.

Thanks for getting them back to me,

but I don't need your opinion on what I do with myself.

Okay, taking those pills

will not help you in the long run.

I can't go back to how I was.

No one looked at me before.

It is a superficial gay world out there

and they are not as forgiving to big boys like I was.

You don't wanna be with some superficial gay guy

who only likes you for your body shape.

Marco, you're a beautiful man.

And it doesn't matter about your body shape.

You're still a beautiful man.

I get it, but I'm fine.

Hey, it's...

It's Marco, right?

- Yeah. - You did a great job today.

You really got into those rims.

Oh, well I'm...

I'm happy to do you.

Do you a good deal

if you come again.

I'm sure I'd come again.

- (phone ringing) - Oh, sorry.

I like you.

Hey, babe!

Yeah, no, I've just picked up the car

and I won't forget to pick up your dress as well.

All right.

See you soon, honey-bum.

Love you.

See you soon, honey-bum.

- Thanks again! - Yeah.

Classic.

How so?

Pretty straight boys like that

don't care where the attention's coming from.

They love it as long as everybody wants to fuck them.

Do they though?

Well, they do more than they don't.

- Okay. - Do some work.

(upbeat music)

Hey, Gabe!

- Hey. - Hi.

Listen, I don't know if you know,

but I'm having an exhibition soon

and I'm looking for some people to model for me.

Don't you have to be good looking to be a model?

Well.

But you're not not good looking.

That's a...

That's a weird compliment.

Well, I mean, you're very good looking.

And I do think you should model for me.

Okay.

Do I get to keep the photos?

Sure, yeah, I'll make you copies.

When is it?

I'll message you.

- Okay, cool. - Cool.

See ya!

Your breath has improved.

How so?

Less Sunday mass,

more Ikea.

Is that meant to be better?

How is that better?

Have you been to Ikea?

No, I have not.

Oh, well, we should go.

Why, so I can see what my breath smells like?

No thanks.

But when I get my own place,

you can help me put together some flat packs.

How am I good enough to assemble foreign furniture,

but not meet your mum and brother?

You met my brother.

Just because we went to the same school

doesn't mean we actually conversed.

What about your brother's art show, am I coming to that?

I mean, yeah.

I didn't know you'd wanna go to something like that.

If you took five seconds to ask, you would know I do.

I'm just not open with my family

about my personal love affairs.

I'm your girlfriend, it's not an affair.

Yeah, funny.

Look, I actually think it would be kind of cool

if you came and met everyone, so come.

Really?

Yeah, but don't make a big thing about it.

I won't, I'm chill.

What's happening with Dazi?

You seem unusually quiet about it.

You know,

I feel like my mum didn't rotate me enough as a baby.

- What kind of noise- - What kind of noise-

- Is that for a baby? - Is that for a baby?

(Adam laughing)

Now answer the question!

You know how people are,

one minute they love you, next minute they ghost you.

Yeah, but, Marco, it's been a few weeks now

and this has to be the longest thing

you've ever been part of.

I mean, you must like them, yeah?

Why are you making a big thing of this?

Ah!

Can we not.

Yes, they are nice.

Yes, I like them, that's it.

Mm.

Nice.

Is that the only adjective you have for them?

What do you want me to say?

They are kind and funny and romantic and, yes, I like them.

Look, I know that I am a fish out of the bowl

when it comes to relationships,

but I'm working on it in my way.

Fish outta water.

Okay, I don't need you to correct me,

- you know what I mean. - I'm just saying.

(Marco sighing)

I just didn't think anyone would like me for this long.

- Aw, so sweet. (laughing) - Get me a bucket.

Can we talk about you for a second?

Yep.

Gabe?

What about Gabe?

Oh, I see the way he looks at you.

Are you intentionally ignoring it?

I'm not doing anything.

I just, you know, wasn't sure if he was into me.

Hey, guys!

I'm nearly finished with the car over there,

but I wanted to come over and say how excited I am

for the photo shoot tomorrow.

I'm...

I'm excited for it too, thanks.

Okay, well, I gotta get back to it,

but I'll talk to you later.

Can you not see now?

Did you set that up?

Me?

Marco!

Polo!

Like, he's nice.

I mean...

I mean, he's very sweet.

(upbeat music)

How do you go from not being able to ask him on a date

to now modeling for him, dude?

Shh, I need to concentrate.

You can...

Um, you know, I stopped counting.

Dude!

All right, I'll do the other leg.

Is it, like, nude modeling?

You know you want to do that, dude.

Fuck, I hope not!

If it is, dude!

Um, maybe we should go for another run.

Yeah.

Yeah, we'll go for a run around the park, yeah?

- Yeah. - Let's go.

(upbeat music)

What do you think of this one?

Nah.

All right, jeez.

I don't even know why you asked me to shop with you.

You buy the same thing every time regardless of what I say.

You're my moral support.

No, I'm a lift to the shops.

Tyler, you know I'm nervous.

And I can't be nervous

and be on public transport at the same time.

It just doesn't bode well for me.

Why are you nervous?

You said it's not a date.

It's not a date, I just wanna look good.

Look, why don't you go have a look around for a bit.

All right, leave me to it.

All right, just don't take too long,

otherwise you'll be late for the date that's not a date.

Hi, two questions, do you like working here

or just like wearing a name tag?

I'm not wearing a name tag.

No, you're not.

And your second question?

Yeah, could you point my friend here

to the closest version of what he's already wearing

so we can avoid any needless indecision?

I'll see what I can do.

Follow me.

Gladly.

[Shopkeeper] Come on.

Dude, I'm really nervous.

Ah, you'll be fine, mate, just don't Gabe out about it.

You dick!

(Tyler laughing)

Oh shit!

I left my phone at the shops.

Dude, do you want me to call it for you?

Nah, no, should be all right, I'll just,

I'll head back now.

- Are you all right? - Yeah, I'm good, thanks.

Do I...

Do I look okay?

If I were into guys, I'd fuck you.

Well, it's not the compliment I was after,

but I'll take it.

- All right, man, thanks! - No worries, good luck.

- See you later! - See ya!

Nah.

- I just thought- - Ooh, I'm flaring.

I'm getting like...

Wait, wait, wait, wait.

[Gabe] I feel so awkward.

You're fine, you're doing great.

All right.

All right, so just lean back just a little.

Great!

You know, you're gonna need some better lighting

if you want me to look good.

You look fine.

What's the theme of this exhibition anyway?

I'm telling the story of love.

What about it?

I'm showing love through same sex couples.

Oh.

I didn't know that.

Oh, I should have...

Sorry, I hope that's okay.

I'm gay, so it's...

It's all good.

I just don't want it to be too R-rated.

No, it won't be.

So who's playing my better half?

That

would be

me.

(camera clicking)

(shopkeeper moaning)

- Do you have a car? - Yeah.

- A good job? - Yeah, I'm a tradie.

- Full-time or part-time? - Part-time, full-time money.

Are you close?

Yeah, I'm about five minutes from here.

I mean, are you gonna cum?

I'm waiting on you first.

Good answer.

Are you free Sunday for lunch?

Yeah.

So is this like your go-to shirt when you're modeling?

You know, doing all your high gigs with the-

I actually bought this today for it.

Bought this today for it?

Yeah, I wanted to look-

- Thank you. - Decent.

Yeah, no, it's nice, nice.

Thanks again, I'll send you a copy soon.

I just have to edit them.

Yes, please, edit my big head out.

Don't do that.

Don't put yourself down.

It's a force of habit.

I was an ugly kid.

Yeah, somehow I don't believe that.

Well, I've burnt all the evidence

so I can't even prove it.

Okay, here, look, see!

See, look, look, you look amazing.

Now you have new evidence.

You look cute.

Are you...

Are you flirting with me?

A little?

Is that not cool?

No, it's just, I...

I sometimes can't pick up on social cues very well.

Why not?

It's my disorder.

I have Asperger's.

It's mild, but it's still challenging at times.

Right.

I don't really know what that is.

- Autism. - Oh right.

Look, physical contact, like hugging and stuff,

it never comes easy to me.

But when it's an intimate moment, like this one,

doesn't seem so bad.

It's getting late, I gotta go and eat homework.

I mean, eat food and do homework.

I have a PT session in the morning,

so I should have an early night as well.

You do PT?

I had no idea you did that.

Well, there is a lot you don't know about me, sir.

(Adam laughing)

(gentle music)

Adam!

[Adam] What?

Come here.

What do you want?

Sorry, are you busy?

Yeah.

Is that for the art show?

Well, I mean, yeah, that's what I'm working on.

Oh yeah, might bring a date to that.

Ah!

Who?

It's a secret.

You're full of them.
