Bad Behaviour (2023) s01e03 Episode Script

(INDISTINCT SHOUTING)
(INAUDIBLE)
(BANGING ON DOOR)
(BANGING CONTINUES)
Just (SOBBING)
Give me my fucking towel back!
Jo!
Seriously!
(SOBS)
Why won't you help me?
(SOBS)
ALICE: Emma was my best friend.
She was also the best person
I've ever known.
At school, she would not be led.
And she never cared what others thought.
Even in the face of
the greatest challenge imaginable.
Emma continued to just
be Emma
to be courageous and good
to do what was right
and never what was easy.
(INDISTINCT CHATTER)
(SOFT, INDISTINCT CHATTING)
- Jo?
- Oh, really?
Hi, Ronnie.
Briohny. Portia.
Hello again.
Again?
Alice's concert.
Jo served us canapes.
Well, Red House reunions
just get better and better.
It's fitting. We were always cursed.
Remember Sarah and the cello case?
And the fire.
What fire?
Alice.
Oh, you mean Kanga's trick
with the body spray?
Oh, yeah, no, I remember that,
but would we really call that a fire?
- No, we wouldn't.
- Yeah.
To be honest, I always thought
it was you that did that, Jo.
No, I didn't.
Yeah, Sarah did the shit,
and you set Alice on fire.
That's not what happened.
You sure?
Alice set herself on fire.
(SOFTLY) I haven't seen her
since school.
Apparently, she's writing.
(SIGHS)
What do you want, Jo?
It's Emma's funeral.
Alice, what is it
you think I did to you?
Why are you letting this
be such a big deal?
I mean, look at you. You're fine.
You're the most successful
out of all of us.
(LAUGHS)
Yeah, and that makes up for everything.
- Up for what?
- Silver Creek.
Everything you put me through,
and everything
I went through afterwards.
What do you mean?
You don't remember, Jo.
You didn't stand up for me.
It was only ever about you and Portia.
I was your friend, Alice.
(INDISTINCT CHATTER)
Jo!
Wow. Rude.
Yeah, she always was a weirdo.
Exactly why I hate private schools.
All schools have mean girls.
Yeah, but it's worse
when there's money involved,
when from birth, you've been told
that you're better.
- She called me a bully.
- Were you?
She was the first girl I met there,
and I didn't want to be a loner.
(DOOR OPENS)
Then I made new friends.
You ditched her for the cool girls.
Ditching is a strong word.
There's more stir fry, if you want.
Oh, no, thank you.
Were they here the whole time?
They live in their room now.
I'm still working out what I feel.
Well, what's the hold up?
They're nice, and they're into you.
Of course you don't want that.
That'd be way too wholesome.
- Ruby!
- I'm just
not keen on you leading them on.
I live here, too, you know?
(BOTTLES CLINK)
PORTIA: I had this dream last night
that I kissed Leila from Jade House.
We were walking to dinner, and
then we were in the trees.
There were other people around, I think.
And then we kissed.
And then what happened?
We just kissed for ages.
It was
it was nice.
You don't like-like Leila, do you?
It's just a dream.
It doesn't mean anything.
But that's what I'm wondering.
I've heard it skips children.
But every third child has it.
BRIOHNY: Has what?
You know.
- The gay gene.
- You're not gay!
OK, that's just crazy.
BRIOHNY: (SIGHS) It's just a dream.
(DOOR OPENS AND CLOSES SQUEAKILY)
(INDISTINCT CHATTER)
What are you staring at?
What?
You were watching me, that's what.
(LAUGHS) Oh, God, she's still looking.
EMMA: Portia
You're walking around practically naked.
- It's a bit hard not to.
- (JO CHUCKLES)
Were you looking too?
No, of course not.
What are you
a dyke?
- Are you a dyke?
- What are you on about?
Jo, you saw, was she perving on me?
Jo, tell her.
I don't know. I didn't see.
You didn't see?
What the fuck, Jo?
I was packing.
PORTIA: Hmm.
You know, I've seen Emma watching us
getting dressed before.
I didn't want to say anything
at the time,
but we can't have a lesbian
in the house with us.
I'm not a lesbian.
I wasn't looking at her like that.
I've never looked at anyone like that.
PORTIA: But I saw you. No use lying.
This is crazy! You're crazy.
Such a lesbian thing to say.
(LAUGHS)
Seriously, Joanna, don't even
look at me right now.
I'm one of the only people here
who still cares about you.
I'm sorry.
Do you hate me now?
Don't be a dickhead.
You are far from perfect.
But you have so much going on for you.
You're one of the smartest girls here.
Seriously!
When are you going to stop
being so fucking weak?
(INDISTINCT CHATTER)
Don't forget, bring whatever you've got.
I don't care if
it's your grandma's Baileys,
just make sure you have something.
And by that, I mean, alcohol.
What's wrong, Joanna?
Just would have be nice to go home
for the weekend, alright?
Everyone else did.
Your mother and I thought it'd be fun
to explore the area.
Yeah, fun for who?
Honestly, we've driven
all this way just to see you.
Great.
Thanks.
(ENGINE STARTS)
KEITH: Room number two, with a view.
Bags the top!
- This is cosy.
- Oh, very nice.
KEITH: Right.
Who wants to go on a bushwalk?
There's a waterfall and a lookout
that we can reach from here.
No, thanks.
What do you mean, no, thanks?
I'm sick of bushwalking.
CAROLINE: Joanna
Sorry, Mum.
I just thought I'd catch up
on a bit of homework today.
Really?
Alright, then. Suit yourself.
Come on, Archie. Grab your raincoat.
We won't be long.
Can you not move so much?
ARCHIE: Can you not suck so much?
CAROLINE: Have you seen the wine?
- Did you take it out already?
- KEITH: Hey?
- It's there, it's in the door.
- No, it's not here.
CAROLINE; It's not here.
KEITH: Did you put it in the cupboard?
CAROLINE: Why would I
put it in the cupboard?
CAROLINE: Joanna, can I look
inside your bag, please?
What? Why?
Mum, you can't do that.
That's an invasion of privacy.
Did you steal these?
No
Jo, what's going on?
What were you planning on
doing with this?
Nothing.
What is that place doing to you?
Nothing!
Well, you'd never have done
anything like this before.
What other explanation is there?
It's not the school.
You promised me you'd be good.
You never wanted me to go there.
Oh, Joanna, don't be ridiculous.
You never want me to have anything good.
KEITH: No-one's ever said that.
You want me to
live a sad, pathetic life.
Just like you.
OK. I think everyone needs
to have a little time out.
No.
I'm not doing anything you say.
And if you want to take me out of
that school, you can drag me out,
because there's no way I'm leaving.
(LOUD INHALATION)
(EXHALATION)
(BOTTLES CLINK)
Hey.
You're back.
I'm glad you're OK.
Does it hurt?
A bit.
They said I was lucky it wasn't worse.
Will it scar?
Don't think so.
The hospital food was yuck.
Yeah, bet you missed having a slushie.
Alice, um
Hey, Mackenzie, show us your loot.
Kanga, you can you can come to.
If you bring your lighter.
(LAUGHTER)
So, what did you bring?
Bit of this. Bit of that.
Come on, then. Give us a look.
(CLEARS THROAT) Um
I'll unpack first.
Show you later.
Show me.
Now.
There, see?
Wh Hang on.
What is it?
This is water.
No, it's not. It's vodka.
I tried some before.
It's a good stuff.
I've got some more
I haven't unpacked yet.
You can share that later.
Yeah. I'll pass, thanks.
If I need water, I'll hit up a tap.
(LAUGHTER)
BRIOHNY: Oi, Portia.
Portia, look what I got from Mum.
I haven't tried it yet.
Have you ever actually
had any of that before, Jo?
Of course I have.
Thing is, they're lemon flavoured,
so they're kind of whitish,
not clear like that.
And they're usually sold with a lid on.
Yeah. Like I said, I opened it
to try some.
(CHATTER, CLINKING)
Oi, slushie.
You call this bacon crispy?
What do you think?
Soggy.
Definitely soggy.
(GASPS)
(LAUGHTER)
Maybe just leave it,
with Portia and stuff.
Try not to be so I don't know.
Desperate. Yeah?
How are you?
Alright.
That was a peace offering,
if it wasn't clear.
Wow.
One sip of that,
and I've already forgotten
how awful you were to me.
Look, I didn't
break up with Gabby for you.
I did not think that.
It was on the cards
well before we hooked up.
I'm sure it was.
And the reason
I told you about the breakup
was because I thought
that we were mates.
I wasn't I wasn't expecting you
to ask me out or anything, OK?
I don't I don't even want that.
Well, that's a shame.
What is?
That you don't want to go out with me,
'cause I was just about to ask.
You were not.
I was going to suggest a late dinner,
tonight, after I finished work.
But if you're not interested
Fucking hell, Jo.
Oh, come on, Mackenzie.
That funeral was intense,
and I really didn't
expect to see you there.
Yes, you made that clear.
I don't know why I acted like that.
Can we be friends?
And that's the thing people do, right?
I feel like doing something fun tonight.
- I have plans.
- I can wait.
I have plans for after.
Are they important?
(BELL RINGS)
Get in!
MAN: Alright, people, keep your hands
inside the vehicles at all times.
Other than that, our road rules are
there are no rules!
If you can't beat 'em, dodge 'em!
(LAUGHS)
(INAUDIBLE)
(INDISTINCT CLATTERING, BEEPING,
AUTOMATED SPEECH)
PORTIA: What happened to Alice Kang?
After Silver Creek.
I hardly saw her at senior school.
I think it really affected her.
Silver Creek was supposed to be hard.
That was the whole point.
We were kids
left in the bush, alone.
What was I supposed to do?
We only have ourselves.
Except you had me.
(DOOR CLOSES)
(TV PLAYS)
(SLEEPILY) Jo?
I was waiting for you.
I texted. I said I'd be late.
Come on, let's get you to bed.
Oh! (LAUGHS)
Can we still going on our date?
Another time?
(MURMURS) I knew it
I knew I shouldn't have trusted you.
Saskia
We will go on our date, OK?
I said we would.
Actually you didn't.
(TAP RUNS)
(TEETH BEING CLEANED)
Snap.
(BREATHES HEAVILY)
(GASPS)
(BREATHES HEAVILY, MOANS SOFTLY)
(BREATHING QUICKENS)
SASKIA: You two in for dinner?
RUBY: Yeah, we are.
No, I'm not.
It's my dad's birthday.
You enjoy that, then.
Since when do you go to that?
Ruby, I'm trying.
So, what's the problem?
I've been spending
a bit more time with Portia.
- Nothing's happened.
- Yeah, well, thank fuck.
She's your high school bully.
That's the literal definition of toxic.
Why can't you just talk to Saskia?
Be kind. Be honest.
Like it's that easy.
Well, it'll be way harder
if they found out some other way.
For them, and me.
(ON TV) On the satellite image,
we can see a band of cloud
moving up the New South Coast
(WEATHER REPORT CONTINUES)
(DOOR CLOSES)
KEITH: Jo!
What a lovely surprise.
Happy birthday.
Thank you.
What have we got here?
Oh, wonderful!
Haven't read this one.
He's looking good!
No, he's not. He's too fat.
Trialling a new diet.
No more snacking.
Oh, OK. Cool.
Can we not have phones out tonight?
Thank you.
Can you take that to the table, please?
(LAUGHTER)
LACEY: Jo, why aren't you up yet?
I was sick in the night.
I think I have gastro.
You don't have a temperature.
I'll get you some charcoal tablets.
That'll set you right for the hike.
Ugh. Come.
(CLANKING)
Uh, oof!
- You OK?
- Ugh
Survival of the fittest, Mackenzie.
(LAUGHTER)
RONNIE: Can you guys hurry up?
(INDISTINCT CHATTER)
Hmm?
Mmm.
- (LAUGHS)
- Delicieux!
GIRL: Then what the fuck do you want?
(INDISTINCT CHATTER)
Mmm! (LAUGHS)
(CHATTER CONTINUES)
(CLATTERING)
LACEY: Come up!
Say freeze!
ALL: Freeze!
(SHUTTER CLICKS)
- Wrong way, right way?
- Yeah, right way.
Fuck's sake!
(LAUGHTER)
- Oh, so good.
- So the favourite.
(GIRLS CHAT)
What's the matter?
You've hardly said a word all day.
I'm fine.
Just tired.
It's a bit fucking dramatic, isn't it?
But, like, that would hurt, as well.
Right?
Do something that's
a little less painful.
PORTIA: Hey, wait.
What did Leila tell you?
LOU: Helen from purple house
slit her wrist.
So, apparently, she did it
in the bathroom.
So, she was, like, standing in
a puddle of her own blood.
RONNIE: I heard it was by
the boiler over the fire, you know?
- Spooky.
- (LAUGHTER)
PORTIA: She should have done it
in the chapel.
Then it would have been religious.
Like a sacrifice.
What?
She should have strung herself up
on the cross
slit her wrists
hung there,
like Jesus.
We all would have seen her
as we walked down for breakfast.
Fuck, Portia.
Why would you say something like that?
Yeah, you're really sick sometimes.
Whatever.
BRIOHNY: OK, but, like,
where would you do it?
(LAUGHTER)
Like, obviously,
Miss Constantine's room, right?
RONNIE: Nah, in bed. Comfortably.
Did you hear about
Archie's new promotion?
Manager.
It's a very good salary,
by London standards.
He and Kate are thinking about buying.
So what about you, Jo?
Any news?
Not really.
I went to a funeral.
Oh.
I'm sorry to hear that, Joanna.
Whose was it?
- An old friend
- Mmm.
from Silver Creek.
Well, that's too young.
Why would you care about
anyone from Silver Creek?
You hated that place.
I didn't hate it.
I just didn't see what
all the fuss was about.
You're already at a very good school.
But I wanted to go somewhere better.
Did you ever think about that?
If you'd have supported me,
maybe things would have
gone differently for me.
Maybe I'd be doing better.
(LAUGHS)
What's so funny?
I don't think it would have made
a shred of difference
what either of us thought, back then.
That's not true.
You only cared about
impressing your new friends.
I was a teenager.
Well, to be fair, you weren't like that
before you went to Silver Creek.
When you went in there,
you were such a good girl,
very respectful, ambitious.
So? I grew up.
And then out you came
a problem child.
You know, you can just say
the word, Mum.
- Lesbian.
- Joanna!
You have always done
exactly what you wanted to do.
We never pulled you out of that school.
And we are not the reason that
your life hasn't turned out
the way you wanted it to.
My life is fine.
Maybe it's time to accept
you're just not as good
as you think you are.
KEITH: Jo
Please don't.
Let her go, Keith.
She didn't want to be here
in the first place.
(INDISTINCT CHATTER)
(INDISTINCT CHATTER)
- Wow! Gorgeous.
- Special!
I know!
Special, special, special.
What can I say?
What do you say? Best for the best?
Best for the best? Is that us?
(INDISTINCT CHATTER, LAUGHTER)
- Should we go hunting?
- Hunting?
- For snakes.
- For snakes!
What are you doing?
I'm going to set up my mat.
There's no room.
There's a spot in the corner.
There's no room, Joanna! Get it?
(LAUGHTER)
Why are you still here?
Why are you being like this?
Can you just fuck off?
Come on, Jo.
We've saved you a spot here.
See?
Your friends are in the other tent.
It'll be you soon.
And then someone else.
And then someone else.
And then there'll be no-one left.
- OK.
- (LAUGHTER)
Cool. Well,
you can fuck right off, then.
- Bye!
- (LAUGHTER)
Bye, Joanna!
No, guys, seriously, who's next?
I'm scared.
Is it you?
She's still out there! What the fuck?
- Fuck off!
- Standing there.
(LAUGHTER)
Hey, loner.
(MAGPIES WARBLE)
I wish you'd been with me last night.
(INDISTINCT CHATTER APPROACHES)
(VOICES GET CLOSER)
Over here.
Oi, oi, oi.
(INDISTINCT CHATTER AND LAUGHTER)
Is everything alright?
Tell me I'm not imagining this.
You knew, right?
How I felt about you at Silver Creek?
What I would have done for you.
Yes.
