2 (INTRIGUING MUSIC)

Ooh-hoo!

It's so sparkly!

JJ, can you please come downstairs?

Hey. Sorry.

Sorry, I would've done this last night,

but I had to wash it 'cause it was missed.

- I said I'm sorry about that. - I said it's fine.

- I'm just doing it now. - J!

Where's your hat?

- She lost her hat? - Again.

- OLY: Seriously? - Yep.

Seriously, every morning, that hat is an issue.

- Did you check her bag? - Yep.

Her room? Under the stairs?

- Hey, Ol... - I'm just trying to help.

OK, then, can you maybe not do this right here?

I'm sorry.

I used to make sure she had it

in her bag after school.

Maybe you should think about that.

- What was that? - You heard me.

OK, I really don't need the back-seat parenting.

"Back-seat parenting"?

Why don't you just go to work?

Mum, Dad, will you marry each other?

- Oh, um... - What's this?

Um, that was hidden. It's my mum's. I wanted it.

Why were you hiding it, though?

I wasn't hiding it.

You just said you were hiding it.

Well, why are you going through my drawers, huh?

Trying to find my hat.

Can you please get married like Gracie's dads?

I need to be a flower girl.

I won't be seven forever.

Ah, J, it's not something that we do.

I think it would be fun.

You do?

Do you?

I do.

Because we love each other, and why not?

Let's put it on the to-do list.

Yes!

- (PHONE BUZZES) - Ooh.

I think that must be Gracie's dad.

There you are.

I'm going to be Mummy's and Papi's bridesmaid!

Oh, wow, that's...

Congratulations!

(WHISPERS) It's a joke.

'Bye, J.

OK, well, you guys have

a great day at school.

Love you, puchita.

Thanks.

So...

So... were you actually thinking about proposing?

Um...

Yeah. I mean, I was... Yeah, I was thinking about it.

But the moment kind of passed.

- You've said no before, so... - We were kids.

- So, do you want me to propose? - No.

I mean, we told J that we would, but she'll forget that.

What would a wedding between us even look like?

Right.

I don't know.

You wear a white dress, Dom would walk down the aisle

and then... he'd hand you over to me.

Fuck off!

(LAUGHS) What?

I mean, we'd have to get married in the registry office.

We can't afford a wedding.

Registry office. How romantic.

OK, wait, so, hold on.

Do you want to get married or...?

I don't know.

You'll have to ask to find out. You're the man.

Uh-huh.

I mean, you'll have to take my last name.

Really?

(PHONE RINGS)

Yes?

I'm not back-seat parenting,

but could you pay the school fees?

They're overdue.

We need to sew patches

on J's jujitsu gear.

She's got Jude's birthday on Saturday.

Could you pick something up?

Even if it's just a voucher?

Which one's Jude again?

- Do you need my spreadsheet? - Sure.

Is there anything else that you would like me to do today?

Uh, have you started the Book Week costume?

The landlord said

he'd take $30 off my rent per week for this.

Just for a little bit of extra work.

And you couldn't do it yourself?

Huh?

How's the study going?

Yeah, it's good.

And the Mr Mumming?

I'm not Mr Mum, Dad.

Hey, I admire it.

Kids are...

Kids are hard work, mate.

Yeah. Tell me about it.

You know, J found Mum's engagement ring this morning.

She wants Oly and I to get married.

(LAUGHS)

Oly wouldn't have that, eh?

Actually, she was kind of into it.

- Really? - Yeah.

Careful they don't turn you into a man like her father.

- What do you mean? - Or her... or her brother.

They're good blokes, Dad.

(SPEAKS SPANISH)

Santi,

you're a modern man.

That's why you'll make an excellent wife.

I'm not a fuckin' wife, Dad. I'm her partner.

Partner? She makes all the money.

(SPEAKS SPANISH)

Mate, I was just joking.

- SANTI: Yeah, I know. - MATIAS: Hey, I admire it.

BOTH: Ooh.

Is this, uh, part of your...

'Zen in the Art of Archery'.

Yeah, I've been reading it again.

I've just been trying to get myself centred, you know?

Yeah, I need to do that. It's a great place, man.

Thanks, man.

Yeah, I bought it with the money that my dad left me.

Oh. Nice work, Dad. (CHUCKLES)

How's your living situation going?

Where do I start?

Ange has moved out while she's doing the tree thing, right,

and let the kids' bloody mate move in.

Now, Vince, admittedly is a nice guy, but...

- It's your house. - Well, half my house.

- So, what are you gonna do? - Oh, goodness knows.

I'll have to rent, I guess, if I can find somewhere.

(CHUCKLES) Rent?

Well, yeah. What else do you expect me to do?

Come on, mate.

Just cut the foreplay and ask.

Ask what?

What I...I can...

I can stay here?

(CHUCKLES) Yeah. Was it really a problem to ask?

- Of course you can live here. - What, at your place?

- Yeah! Yeah, it'll be great. - Permanently?

Yeah, it'll be like share housing in our 20s,

except we've got money now, we can clean up after ourselves,

we can finally work on that record store plan...

Yes, yeah, and, um, I have some Radiohead posters

that I think you might like, framed,

and a, uh...

Oh, I've got a... a rug that I got from Morocco.

- Oh, great! - Yeah.

I think it'd really tie the room together.

(LAUGHS) Great!

- You sure? - Yes.

(DOM LAUGHS)

I am the walrus.

- I am the walrus. - (LAUGHS)

So, how'd you make detective so young?

Kinda just sort of, like, got fast-tracked,

and I have an IQ of 280, so, yeah.

You know that means we're enemies, right?

I'm doing law.

No way. I, um... I studied law for a while.

- Seriously? - Yeah.

My dad's an academic, my mum's an oncologist.

You know, they... they wanted me in the professions, so...

But then you dropped out?

Yeah, you know, I wanted to be at the coalface

building cases against bad guys and...

It's... Yeah. What about you?

So, you, um...

So, you were married in London

and then, what, you... you left or...?

Yeah, I think I was doing what I thought my dad wanted me to do.

OK, but, what, you're not doing

what your dad wants you to do anymore or...?

I'm doing what I want to do.

Oh.

Um, uh, this is me, by the way.

Well, this has been enlightening.

Mm-hm.

- (CLEARS THROAT) - Do you want to get coffee?

Uh... uh, now?

Yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah, I would like that.

Mariam.

Mariam is super cool and Muslim and single.

- No. Don't do... - Yes.

No, I know what you're trying to do.

- Yes. - MARIAM: Hey.

Hey, Mar.

Um, come get coffee with us?

- Now? - Yeah.

- Sure. - This is Rakim.

Salam.

He is single and he's on the prowl.

- Is he? - No, he's not on the prowl.

He's not on the prowl.

(THOUGHTFUL MUSIC)

(PHONE BUZZES)

- Hey, what's up? - SANTI: Hey.

I was just thinking,

I feel like we haven't really spent time just us in a while.

So...

So...?

Do you want to get some dinner tonight or...?

Do you mean, like, with J?

I could probably get Vince to babysit.

So, a date night?

Yeah, date night.

You're not going to propose, are you?

Hide a ring in my dessert,

make me the happiest girl in Glebe?

I don't know. Maybe I will.

No, that was... that was a joke.

No... no proposals, promise.

OK. I'd like that.

OK, 'bye.

That was very, very clearly police intimidation.

I know the cops involved.

Oh, of course you do. You all watch each other's backs, right?

No, no, no. No, no, I... I reject that insinuation.

That... that lawyer clearly broke road rules

in front of the detectives

in order that she would be pinged

in order that she could scream 'police intimidation'.

OK, A, that just sounds like bullshit,

and, B, even if she did,

the detectives fell for it 'cause they're so stupid.

You guys want another coffee?

No, I'm... I'm OK, thank you.

Um, OK. That's my problem with lawyers.

A, you think you're all smarter than cops.

- Guilty as charged. - Thank you.

And B, you think the entirety of your job

is to beat other lawyers through superior knowledge

and manipulation of the law and...

Yeah, yeah, OK.

We're not defending the innocent and punishing the guilty.

No. No, no, no. No, you're not. No, we're doing that.

You're engaging in, like, adversarial sophistry.

Am I wrong, or...?

Um, no?

See, you can see why he didn't make it as a lawyer.

- Oh. - He thinks like a cop.

- Mm. - Black and white.

What was it, um, that you called the guys

that you go after at the coalface?

Like, uh - I don't know - suspects?

No, no, no, no, you called them the bad guys.

(LAUGHS) No.

Everything is a simple binary for you.

- Good and bad. Us and them. - No, no, my world...

My world is not binary, it's monistic.

MARIAM: What's monistic?

It's like unity.

One principle. The law is the law.

The law is the law.

Yes, and... (CLEARS THROAT) ...I believe I uphold that.

And God is God, eh?

And detectives are God.

So, what does that make us lawyers?

Annoying.

(AIRY MUSIC)

And I have to go.

This was fun.

You two, Mariam is doing nursing.

His mum is a doctor.

- 'Bye. - MARIAM: Enjoy.

- See ya. - REEMA: See ya.

(PHONE RINGS)

Hey, I'm just leaving now.

Yeah.

Wait, are you serious?

- Hey! - Hey.

Hey.

- How you going? - Good.

Come meet the guys.

How long do we have to stay for?

Just, like, a drink or two.

- Why are you acting weird? - I'm not acting weird.

She wanted to meet you.

"Oh, it's only local council," and I nearly...

MARCUS: Wait, he didn't fuckin' say that.

No, he fuckin' did.

- What a fucking cock-twazzle. - (LAUGHS)

This is Santi, my partner.

- Hi, hi. - Hey.

Oh, oh! Sorry. Bum chin.

You didn't tell me about that. Yeah.

- I'm Shauna, Oly's boss. - Santi.

Yes. This is the Chrises, and Marcus.

Mate, grab a drink.

SANTI: Oh, thanks, man.

- Oh, you remember Kingsley? - Yeah.

And he's this fuckin' Liberal Party cock-twazzle.

Literally worked for local council...

(SOFTLY) We'll just have one and then go, right?

MARCUS: Didn't last long, did he?

SHAUNA: No, he didn't, thanks to you.

I need to network. She's, like, never nice to me like this.

This isn't networking, Oly.

She's getting drunk and talking shit.

We called in a babysitting favour for this.

I mean, this is, like, ridiculous.

SHAUNA: More fizz?

It's cheap, but it gets the job done.

Just like you, Oly. (LAUGHS)

No, I'm sor... I'm kidding.

You're great. She's great.

You're doing great.

What about you, hey?

You up to her standard or what?

Nah, I just, um... I look after our daughter and...

Sorry. Daughter?

As in a real child? Human child?

Yeah.

You have never mentioned that.

(LAUGHS) You are a stone-cold motherfucker.

That is ruthless. Oh, my God!

Wow, OK. How old is she?

Seven.

Seven!

You must have been children.

17.

That's... I'm actually very impressed.

Now, that... that is ambition.

Hey, don't worry, it's important work, though,

you know, so...

All those nights and not a peep. Man.

- Santi's the best. - Yeah. But no more, yeah?

- (LAUGHS) - Oh, God, no. God.

Get it over with young.

If you say, I'll take your word for it.

- Cheers to that. - We might have more.

- (LAUGHS) No, we won't. - Yeah, we probably will.

- No, we won't. - We talked about it.

Why not?

Won't slow you down. I do everything anyway.

- OLY: Santi, that's not... - That is true. It's very true.

- SANTI: Um... - OLY: I'm sorry.

We're not gonna go all Virginia Woolf on you.

This has been great. A pleasure to meet you.

SHAUNA: Thank you.

Love the work you're doing here.

Yeah.

Santi!

Santi!

What is going on with you at the moment?

You didn't tell them that you had a kid?

- Are you ashamed? - No, I'm not ashamed.

Everybody thinks that mothers don't have ambition.

Oh, you know what?

I didn't want them to see me like that.

You do realise that you named her Jacinda

after a prime minister who had a baby in office

and now you're hiding it from your employer.

Yeah, but I'm not a prime minister.

I'm an entry-level policy assistant.

What was your plan?

Were you gonna keep lying till J was 18?

I don't know.

Don't you ever wish you could be someone else?

No! What the f...?

What the fuck are you saying, Oly?

I don't know. It doesn't matter.

SANTI: No, it...

I've got you and I've got J,

so I play the cards I'm dealt.

We're both a responsibility for you?

I do everything.

- You honestly believe that? - Yes.

- Really? - I do everything.

Why are you so angry right now?

Because I wanted to have a nice night with you.

I booked fucking nice dinner reservation

and then I'm in there being treated like I don't even exist.

Oh, so, it's about your ego?

No, but you saying that your job is more important...

You're a mother!

Yes?

You have responsibilities.

- And I earn all of our money. - Oh, OK.

- And I organise everything... - Sure.

...so that you don't even have to think about anything.

You get up, you get dressed, you go to work.

We don't see you.

And fuck you for bringing up money.

That's a fuckin' load of shit.

One day, I'm gonna make more money than you

and then I'm gonna humiliate you like you're doing to me.

Santi, I'm not trying to humiliate...

You don't even do half the housework or half the parenting.

You're like an old-school 1950s husband.

If you were a man, you and your mum would hate yourself.

You would sit around whinging about you

and how selfish you are,

but because you're a woman, I'm supposed to clap.

Everything you just said is total bullshit.

- No, it's not. - You sound like your dad.

Uh, OK.

You sound like a fucking chauvinist!

You're not a real mother. I am.

I wasn't going to propose tonight

and I'm not going to.

- (DOOR SLAMS) - (TV PLAYS QUIETLY)

Hi, sweetheart.

- (OLY STOMPS) - (FRIDGE DOOR RATTLES)

- (BOTTLES CLINK) - (FRIDGE DOOR SLAMS)

- (OLY SLAMS OBJECT ON BENCH) - (PLASTIC BAG RUSTLES)

Everything OK?

I'm fine.

I'm just making J's lunch,

because apparently I'm not a mother.

Yep. I'm going to sleep.

What are you talking about?

Hey.

Sweetheart.

Stop.

What happened?

I'm working my arse off, my boss is a total psycho,

and I'm... I'm... I'm doing everything I can

to make it easier for him

because I know how hard it is for him.

You're doing a great job, babe.

Yeah, well, Santi doesn't think so.

He said I'm not a real mother.

(OLY SOBS)

DOM: You go to bed and get a good night's rest.

I'll make the lunch.

Love you.

Sorry, I'm late.

I had something unexpected come up.

OK, I've got fresh tomatoes and everything,

stupid expensive Parma prosciutto,

handmade fettucine and...

(CORK SQUEAKS)

Vodka. Uh, in the sauce?

Uh, that's... that's amazing.

You right?

Yep, yep, yep, I'm OK.

I, uh, picked us up

a very expensive bottle of gaglioppo.

Gaglioppo? What's gaglioppo?

It's an Italian dry grape varietal.

Wow, I've never even heard of gaglioppo.

My wife - well, my ex-wife -

she only ever drank shiraz, so this is fun.

Awesome.

We can just have it in a couple of latte glasses.

Yeah! Let's do it in a tumbler.

(KNOCK AT DOOR)

(KNOCK AT DOOR)

Santi.

Hey, Dom!

You know Tim?

Ex-SAS, killed a bunch of guys.

We don't talk about our kills, Dom.

They don't like to talk about their kills, Santi.

Hey, I need your help.

Now? Uh, nah, I've got an assignment.

Yeah, we've all got assignments.

- I'm busy, so... - I'm not asking.

And this is serious.

We have to pick up a pool table

and potentially a pinball machine.

Maybe some antique martini glasses.

So, we need your help.

Get in the van or I'll use karate on you.

(WHISPERS) Karate.

- (WHISPERS) Hiyah. - You guys are so stupid.

Hiyah!

(SIGHS)

(GROANS)

(SIGHS)

Alright, kids in the middle.

(SIGHS) It's very tight.

We in?

Right, best Radiohead song per album.

Uh, 'The Bends'. Go.

- 'High and Dry'. - 'Fake Plastic Trees.'

Oh. Close. Good point.

Uh, 'Hail to the Thief'?

- Ooh, uh... - Yeah. Probably...

Radiohead are such a depressing band.

Don't take the bait.

Santi I've warned you, he is a killer.

Radiohead are complex and sophisticated.

Yeah, no, you're right. I'm sorry.

- Idiot! - (ENGINE STARTS)

(GRUNTS)

Alright.

- I'll go settle up. - Cool.

We done?

Santi, me and you are gonna walk back.

No, no, no. That... that wasn't part of the deal.

So, Oly was a little bit upset last night, old mate.

Yeah, well, so was I.

Yeah. Yeah, she mentioned.

I mean, that's the thing with other people's relationships.

You... don't know where to draw the line, you know?

I guess when J grows up,

you'll be in the same boat as me.

But, um, it's kind of...

What are you trying to say, Dom?

I'm trying to say

I need you to be more supportive of her, right?

To not upset her the way that...

No, OK, she needs to be more supportive of me.

I'm doing everything I can so she can do what she wants

and it's fine, but...

- You're doing everything? - Yeah, I am.

You get one kid ready for school in the morning.

Oh, fuck off, Dom.

You know what? Maybe I'm just not like you.

I don't put up with shit.

I'm a man. I'm not OK with anyone fucking me o...

A man?

A man who got my daughter pregnant,

whose life got derailed?

OK.

She is working her arse off playing catch-up

to support you and J.

I know.

And you guilting her doesn't help, alright?

Now, if I see her upset like that again,

I'm coming round with a fuckin' baseball bat

to my house where you live and I don't.

Is that man enough for you, man? Hey?

Dom, relax.

Oly and I, we just had a fight. That's all.

OK.

OK, well, don't fuck with me, OK?

And don't...

...don't dis Radiohead.

Sure.

(SANTI EXHALES)

Don't know what happened there.

It's OK. Are you OK?

Haven't been OK for years.

It is difficult being in a relationship

with a brilliant woman.

It is hard to not be competitive,

but that's your problem, mate, not hers.

So, I'm supposed to just be a passenger in her life?

It's better than not being in her life.

She's nearly better than me at everything anyway, Dom.

Oh, mate, 'nearly'?

She is better than all of us at everything

and has been since she was born.

You can't punish her for it, mate.

You can't bring her down to our level.

- Yeah, I know. - I'm sorry.

- It's OK. - I'm sorry. I'm sorry.

You're right.

You know we nearly got engaged yesterday?

So, I'd be, uh... Mr Chalmers-Davis.

(BOTH LAUGH)

You going to ask for my permission?

Oh, yeah. Of course.

Marriage is bullshit anyway.

Ever heard that song 'A Punch Up at a Wedding?'

SANTI: Let me guess - Radiohead?

Found it.

- Hey, darling. - Hey.

Oh, what's the matter?

I don't want to tell you because you'll just... react.

No, I won't. What is it?

I had a fight with Santi about me working and him parenting.

Ugh! (GRUNTS)

See?

(GRUNTS)

And I can't just tell him that he's being unreasonable

because it's what he's feeling.

I can't make him not feel it.

Mm. (FLAPS LIPS)

Santi's a...

He's a good bloke.

He's a manly sort of a man,

but he's working through that.

And he's chosen you and he knew what he was getting.

Which was?

A very, very, very strong woman

with progressive ideas

and he's lucky.

Oh, 'progressive'? You'll love this.

I thought he was going to ask me to marry him yesterday

and I felt like the luckiest girl in the world.

Oh, no, you're not getting married, are you?

No, because he hates me now.

Why did he want to get married?

Because he loves me.

Or because he wanted to tick some sort of masculinity box

so that he could say he had a wife?

Do you think... marriage means more to men?

Dom did the shittest proposal ever.

I was doing a wee with the bathroom door open

and he was so nervous, he fumbled the ring.

I could see him in the mirror and... (LAUGHS)

...and he was so emotional

that he couldn't even get his words out,

so he just, like, thrust the ring at me,

and I was, like, "No!"

'cause it was such a shit proposal.

And he never did it again.

Poor Dad.

He was so embarrassed.

I sometimes wonder if he'd asked me again and I'd said yes,

would things be different?

How do you mean?

You know, like 'Sliding Doors',

but, you know, I didn't believe in marriage.

I would have married Edie, though.

I've got to go, Mum.

OK, I'm gonna do some yoga.

See you, darling. Mwah!

Ah, thank you, Abuelo.

I'll bring all the stuff back

when I'm done with the Book Week costume.

OK. Ah, Santi, Santi, Santi.

- Adios. - Thanks, Abuelo.

Ciao.

Hey.

Wow! The Book Week costume looks so good.

It's a lot of work.

Yeah. It's getting there.

Hey, um...

I'm really sorry about last night.

You're an amazing mum, Oly.

I know.

I love you.

- Really? - Mm-hm.

And I really want to support you any way I can.

Same.

Wanna try for dinner again?

- Yeah. - OK.

Come on.

What are you doing?

- Santiago Hernandez... - No, no, no, stop, stop, stop.

Oly, please, don't do that.

Please.

- I was just... - Can you...

(SANTI MUTTERS) Why do you always...?

(DOOR SQUEAKS)

Santi?

Santi!

See?

(SANTI SIGHS)

(STAMMERS) I wanted to do...

- Oly, will you marry... - No!

What?

You said no, so I'm saying no.

Why should you get to ask?

Because I've got a proper ring and you don't.

- Papi? - No! She said no.

Why?

'Cause she asked outside and I said no,

so now she's saying no.

- Do you two want to get married? - SANTI AND OLY: Yes!

- Wait. - OK, how about this?

How about we ask each other at exactly the same time?

Can your ego handle that?

Yeah. Can yours?

On three?

Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait.

One, two, three, and then ask,

or one, two, ask?

- One, two, ask. - This is a good solution.

Yeah. Your mum's really, really smart.

SONG: ? You will never know Do whatever y'all say so
