[office ambiance] [subtle

Well, well,
if it isn't the notorious
Cole Parker. [phone ringing]
[paper rustling] [breathing]
What was it this time?
Two-day bender or wallowing in self-pity?
Krista. [nervous laugh]
Hi. [nervous laugh]
Sorry about the meeting.
[phone ringing faintly]
I had a... [squeaking]
personal problems.
[footsteps]
[deep breathing] [phone ringing faintly]
[sniffing] [distant talking]
Smells like it,
[distant talking]
even under the thunderstorm
of cheap cologne.
Oh, and the meeting
was yesterday, by the way.
Today, it's Friday.
You've been MIA for
two days. [muffled chatter]
Shit.
[footsteps]
Listen, Krista, [distant thud]
[putting paper]
I am really trying. [distant thud]
Well, you're going to have to try harder.
You've been really struggling
since... [muffled chatter]
man stuff became stuff,
and inclusive of the female perspective.
And headlines like...
strong, smart, and independent,
until things get a little bit difficult,
and oh yeah, [chuckles]
want to hear a feminist joke, me too,
[stifled laugh] [phone ringing faintly]
[office ambiance]
are setting off serious alarm bells for me.
Look, I have not been struggling,
okay? I've just had...
some personal problems
that happen... [distant whirring]
to have coincided with...
changes to the company.
Look, I respect the
female... [distant typing]
[typing continues]
whatever-ism, but I do not
want to lose... [breathing]
what this company was
built on in the first place,
good old-fashioned British banter.
[distant talking]
Cole, standing for the male voice...
doesn't mean standing...
- against the female voice.
- Well, whatever it is...
you're accusing me of doing,
trust me, it's not on
purpose. [muffled chatter]
It's just a minefield...
trying not to offend people
these days. [distant thud]
[breathing]
[distant chatter] [thud]
So,
[deep inhaling]
[distant chatter]
what do you suggest?
[distant chatter]
[breathing]
You're going to write
a piece... [footsteps]
[footsteps]
from the female perspective,
one that empowers women.
[distant phone ringing]
[sighs] [distant phone ringing]
Do I really have to hand
this to you on a plate?
[breathing]
Okay, the woman that
found herself... [sighs]
in prison with Somali pirates.
[breathing]
Um.
The humanitarian granting
worldwide access to education.
The pregnant woman
serial dating in East London.
The artist offering free nipple tattoos...
to breast cancer
survivors. [distant rattling]
Cole, there are so many
amazing women out there...
with amazing stories.
[distant creaking]
Nipple what?
[distant chatter]
Look, I'm sorry, okay?
It's just a little bit hard for me to
do that when I've just had a woman,
you know, leave me. [breathing]
Boo-ho.
[distant thud]
So, you've had a breakup.
No one cares. [phone vibrating]
[phone vibrating]
[ticking]
[footsteps]
Oh, shit. I'm late. [distant chatter]
Good talk.
[sighs] [distant typing]
[distant typing continues]
[rustling]
How about this, Cole? [distant rattling]
You used to be the best
writer this company had,
and since the breakup,
you've been, well, a massive dick,
[breathing] [distant phone ringing]
and now it all comes down to this.
Comes down to what?
[distant clinking]
You have one week.
Fuck this up, and there's
no job, [distant coughing]
and no proof of you
ever having had a job...
for the last 10 years.
[creaking]
What? [footsteps]
[footsteps]
[music playing] [exhaling] [door slamming]
[squeaking]

[lighter ticking]
[footsteps] [road traffic]
Cole.
[breathing] [music fading]
Dude, have you been out this whole time?
Midweek bender, you
animal. [road traffic continues]
[laughing]
[taking cigarette]
[road traffic continues]
Krista found you, then. [smoking]
[hissing]
I got back this morning,
[road traffic continues]
I think.
My neck's on the line here
because... [footsteps] [hitting]
you wanted to go for a couple of beers.
Whoa, whoa, whoa.
Don't try blaming me for your dirty habits.
[footsteps] [thud]
Don't worry about it.
She gives us all shit.
It is what it is.
What are you doing now?
Want to go for a couple of beers?
[laughing]
- Relentless. - What? It's the weekend.
I can't, mate. I've got
a date. [cart moving]
[footsteps]
It's 2:00 PM.
[music playing]
A day date? Who with? [footsteps]
[instrumental music
continues] [distant clinking]
Stop it. [rustling]
Is that her? [birds chirping]
[rustling]
Geez.
They aren't as bad as people say,
are they? [rustling] [birds chirping]
[chuckles]
What's her name?
Cherry. And she's very fruity.
[music continues] [birds chirping]
[laughing]
[birds chirping]
Isn't it time you jumped
back on that horse?
Yeah, well,
if, when... [exhaling]
[tapping] [music fading]
she finds out what a creep you are,
give her my number.
[birds chirping continues]
Sure.
[rustling]
How do I look?
[laughing]
[birds chirping continues]
I'd bang you.
Alright. Wish me luck.
[hitting] [distant horn]
Good luck.
Maybe...
it will be me you're going MIA tonight.
[wooing] [music playing]
[instrumental music continues]
[footsteps] [birds chirping continues]
[whack]
[footsteps] [music continues]
Cherry?
Jack. [chuckles]
Sorry I'm late. Work. [dragging chair]
[laughing]
Can I get you anything?
Oh, it's okay, I've got this. [claps]
Oh, actually, if they have
nuts. [music continues]
[music continues]
Nuts it is.
[music continues]
Whiskey and coke, please.
And have you got any nuts?
Then nuts too.
Cheers.
[rustling]
[sighs]
[music continues]
You have really nice eyes.
Thanks. So do you. [distant clinking]
[subtle laugh]
[music continues] [breathing]
Do you live far?
Ooh.
Straight to it. Not far. [breathing]
Stratford.
- Yourself? - Oh,
I'm Hackney Wick.
Not far at all.
[exhaling]
And let me guess,
[distant clinking]
you're a model.
[subtle laugh]
[breathing]
I actually used to be a presenter,
but I'm taking a life
break. [distant clinking]
Oh, yeah?
[music continues]
I mean, I was going to
set up a podcast, [rustling]
but I've not got round
to it yet, [distant laughing]
mic and everything.
You do have a sexy voice.
[music continues]
Well,
that's not the only thing
my mouth is good for.
Oh.
[laughing] [blowing]
Excuse me, there's been a terrible mistake.
This table is reserved,
and seeing that you
didn't make a reservation,
I'm going to have to seat you at the bar.
Really? I'd rather stay
here. [music continues]
- Come on, man. We were here first.
- Mm-hm.
I'm terribly sorry, but they are regulars.
[hitting]
Bloody regulars.
Looks like we're moving then. [chuckles]
No. [rustling]
[music continues]
I would prefer to sit here.
I'm so sorry, but there
is nowhere else to sit.
Fridays are our busiest
day for business lunches.
Come on, let's just go.
I mean, they really shouldn't have...
sat us here in the first
place. [tapping table]
My staff did not.
Um. She sat herself. [music continues]
Do you know what? I'm
actually offended. [nervous laugh]
[music continues]
Let's just go.
[chuckles]
I'm not paying for the drinks, by the way.
No, no, because he's going to
pay for them, [music continues]
and lunch as well.
You must be deluded if you...
- think that's going to happen.
- How dare you raise your voice to me.
Okay, let's not cause a
scene, shall we? [chuckles]
Cherry: No. I have never, [chuckles]
ever been so offended in my whole life.
This is why I never come
to skanky Shoreditch bars,
because they're full of... [pushing chair]
idiots like you. [music fading]
[instrumental music
playing] [distant clinking]
[rustling]
Madam, I'm so sorry. I was not aware-
Ah! [whimpering]
Neither was I.
[distant chatter] [music continues]
Jack.
[music continues]
You're, um-
Yeah.
You're, um-
Yeah, I'm, um, I'm fat. [mouth
clicking] [music continues]
[music continues]
Oh.
[laughing]
Oh.
[blowing]
I thought that you, uh-
We thought that you, um, you know-
I'm pregnant, Einstein. [music continues]
Get over it.
[music continues]
[gulping water]
[putting glass] [sighs]
[music continues]
It's soda water.
[footsteps]
[music continues]
[picking glass]
[music continues]
[chair creaking] [breathing]
[clearing throat]
[rustling]
[music fading]
[footsteps]
Hi. [door closing]
Hi, excuse me.
Could you do me a favor,
please? [distant chatter]
Uh.
I've left my bag in there, and I...
really, really, really can't go
inside. [bicycle bell ringing]
Do you mind getting it for me?
[distant talking]
Me?
[caw-caw]
[distant talking continues]
[distant footsteps]
Yep.
I can, um-
[distant rattling] [music playing]
Yep.
[footsteps]
[music continues]
[footsteps]
Thank you. You'll go to
heaven for this. [laughing]
[laughing]
So, you-
[footsteps] [music continues]
[music stops]
You following me?
No.
This is max strength police pepper spray,
and I'm not afraid to burn your
eyeballs to the ground, you freak.
I wasn't following you. [chuckles]
You asked me to get
your bag. [distant chirping]
You said I was going to heaven, remember?
Wait, no, I know you. I've met you before.
I've definitely never met you...
- before just now. - Oh, did Ash send you?
[laughing]
You can tell him from me...
that it's not happening.
I can't do that because I
have no idea who Ash is.
Can you please just put
the pepper spray down?
[breathing]
So, what, are you from the press then?
Oh, I get it. [breathing]
So, she's growing a child,
so she's no longer a
human being with her own...
thoughts, feelings, wants and needs.
In fact, it's so hard to fathom,
let's turn it into social media click bait.
I have no idea... [laughing]
what you're talking
about, and I... [breathing]
would never,
[distant kids talking]
but...
I would like to take
you out if... [rustling]
[rustling]
you're single, that is.
Yes, I'm single.
Would you like a closer look? [chuckles]
[breathing]
[distant faint screaming]
[distant kids shouting]
So, what kind of freak wants to
go out with a pregnant woman?
Ah.
Rude.
Just because he wants to go out
with someone who is growing a child...
doesn't mean that he
doesn't have his own thoughts,
feelings, wants, and needs, now does it?
Touche.
Okay.
So, what? Do you have a pregnancy fetish?
- Are you a pedophile? - Ah.
No, and definitely fucking not.
[distant rattling]
Okay. So, what do you do?
I'm a writer.
[laughing]
- There it is. - A children's book...
- writer. - Oh, yeah.
So, what was your last
book about? [rustling]
[birds chirping]
The kitten...
who sold his fur...
so that he could have one
more day with his mother.
Mm.
[distant screaming]
It's cute, but it's morbid.
Mm.
So, you're not one of those bloggers, then?
No.
I swear.
[footsteps]
Okay.
So,
[distant rattling]
why would you want to go
out with me? [birds chirping]
Because...
sometimes one glance isn't enough.
[distant vehicle moving]
You want to know the
whole story. [subtle laugh]
[birds chirping continues]
[vehicle moving away]
[typing] [distant talking]
[pressing button]
- Come out and have lunch? - Yeah.
It's much better to spend
time with me. [music playing]
[laughing]
Man: Thank you, baby.
[footsteps] [distant man laughing]
[music continues]
[distant rattling]
[birds chirping continues]
[music continues]
Persia!
[music continues]
Persia!
[footsteps]
Oh my God, that's my ex.
- Let's just go. - Alright, let's go.
[music playing]
What the Fuck?
[footsteps] [music continues]
You son of a Bitch!
[slapping] [groaning]
[footsteps]
[music continues]
[rustling]
[footsteps] [music continues]
[falling]
[footsteps]
- No, no, no. - Come on, huh?
Not worth it. Not worth it. [footsteps]
[falling]
[music continues]
[groaning]
[footsteps]
So, you've got a back story...
[footsteps] [music fading]
and a hot ex. [road
traffic] [birds chirping]
[sighs]
I want to hear all about
it tomorrow. [hitting]
Tomorrow?
Yeah, on our date.
[chirping continues]
One o'clock, Hackney.
Six o'clock.
One o'clock. I have dinner
plans. [road traffic continues]
Fine, one o'clock. [exhaling]
Great. Don't be late. [chirping continues]
We're going on a cowboy
barge that does buffalo wings,
so you might want to
practice your American accent.
[birds chirping continues]
[road traffic continues]
[music fading]
Cowboy barge? [distant rattling]
[distant police siren]
[instrumental music playing]
[girl moaning faintly] [music continues]
Jack, you in here?
[footsteps] [door creaking]
- Oh, shit. - Oh!
[belt clinking] [music continues]
Mate, we talked about this.
Not in the communal
spaces, yeah? [girl moaning]
You would not believe
the day that I've had.
[breathing] [music fading]
Bad day? [rattling]
The worst. [creaking]
Oh, yeah? [thud]
You wouldn't believe it.
If only you were there.
[breathing continues]
What happened to your eye?
Cherry: No.
I have never... [rustling]
ever been so offended
in my whole life. [laughing]
You were there.
This is why-
- Jack: Delete that. - No.
This is research. [rustling]
This is going to save
my career. [floor creaking]
[breathing] [snatching]
That video is not going
to see the light of day.
Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait.
No one is going to see that video.
Just please hear me out, okay?
- And I'll make sure of it.
- No, no, no. Wait, wait.
Listen,
Krista is going to fire me unless I do
a story from the female perspective.
This,
she...
is perfect.
Think about it.
Hardly any women know the
first thing about being pregnant...
- until they have to go through it.
- So what?
She'll never let you do the story on her.
Well, that's just it.
She won't know.
What?
So, you're going to pretend
to date her? [chuckles]
Dude, that is so messed
up. [chuckles] [whimpering]
Dude, it's not even really dating.
It's just research.
I won't cross any physical lines.
And think about what
a story it's going to be.
I mean, who is she?
Where is the father?
How does he feel about
her shagging other blokes...
while she's growing
his child inside of her?
Now, that is click bait, [breathing]
and...
from the female perspective.
[creaking]
So, what do you need the video for?
Evidence.
You had a front row seat.
You don't need it.
Ow! [creaking] [spanks]
Fine.
[rustling]
You've lost the plot.
[throwing phone]
[breathing]
But then you do need something
to help you move on from Persia.
[rattling]
Yeah.
[creaking]
[breathing] [rustling]
I ran into her and that...
twat today.
Oh, God.
[couch creaking] [wrapper
rustling] [breathing]
[fingers snapping]
Right. Cherry, why don't we
just... [music playing] [exhaling]
online stalk her?
I'm sure everything you need is there.
Have you got a surname?
[music continues]
No.
Do you? [rustling]
No.
[music continues]
I only have a first name and a number.
So, Google that.
Yeah, way ahead of you.
Nada.
[spanking]
[rustling] [music continues]
I don't know. It could get messy.
[exhaling]
[music continues]
But if anyone's crazy enough to do it,
then it's you. [chuckles]
[laughing]
[snorting]
And I want to read
this article... [hitting]
when it's finished.
[laughing] [rustling]
[indistinct] [laughing]
I know, it's gross.
That's gross.
[laughing continues]
[sighs]
My husband was adamant... [birds chirping]
we were having a boy.
All boys in his family.
I insisted, let's do the early
blood test. [music continues]
Gosh, super early. Eight
weeks. [music fading]
Eight weeks?
I know, I know.
I just couldn't wait. [breathing]
And of course, [chuckles]
- turns out it's a girl. - Mm.
[chirping continues]
I don't care,
- as long as they're healthy. - Mm-hmm.
[footsteps] [birds chirping
continues] [laughing]
[breathing]
So,
[chuckles]
- what does your husband do? - Yeah.
[chuckles]
You won't believe.
He's a physician,
[chirping continues]
not an obstetrician. Can
you believe? [music playing]
Oh. [laughing]
Oh my God. Oh my God. [laughing continues]
Now that, that could be
awkward. [soft piano music]
Yeah. [laughing]
I just hope it's not mine. [laughing]

Can I come in? [sighs]
[door squeaking] [blocking door]
That is if Count Bicep...
von Doucheface isn't in,
which I hope he's not,
because technically, [breathing]
- I still live here. - Mm.
This house, this doorway,
and this... [chirping continues]
- are nothing to do with you.
- Oh, come on.
[chirping continues]
Nine years...
just thrown away, just like that.
Not just like that, Cole.
It's a steady progression
of disappointments...
- and lies. - Oh, I'm sorry,
Miss Adulterer.
Well, at least you found yourself
a real man now, haven't you?
Right old meathead.
[chirping continues]
He's not in, is he?
Fuck.
[footsteps] [distant clinking]
[sighs] [Cole breathing]
Was there something
that you wanted? [footsteps]
Yes. I-[breathing]
[door slamming]
Fine.
I've got a date anyway.
[birds chirping continues]

[squeaking on glass] [music continues]
[music continues]
[footsteps] [groaning]
Hi, I'm sorry I'm late. [footsteps]
[sighs]
[music continues]
We missed the barge.
And I spent all night...
- doing my American accent. - Oh,
no. [footsteps]
Me too.
[music continues]
Hungry? [exhaling]
[music continues]
Hangry?
Much worse.
Prangry.
What? [chuckles]
Pregnant, hungry,
and angry.
Going home,
we're going home. [dropping hat]
Going home, we're going home.
Going home, [putting food]
we're going home.
[road traffic] [sucking finger]
[moaning] [box opening]
Going. [breathing] [music fading]
[pouring mayonnaise]
[frog croaking] [moaning]
Oh, yes, I just love mayonnaise.
Mm.
Mm. [sucking finger]
Want some?
No, thank you.
[breathing] [birds chirping]
Oh, come on.
- Well? - No, I don't like mayonnaise.
Like, it's a whole thing.
Mm?
[chirping continues]
It's a fear of mayonnaise.
[chirping continues]
[distant rattling]
You're weirder than I thought, Colby.
Cole.
[distant clinking]
[sucking finger]
Mayo-phobia. [distant clinking]
Mm-hmm.
So, tell me the dirt.
What dirt?
[chirping continues]
Mm, about the beefcake.
Thank you.
- He is a beefcake, isn't he? - Mm.
[distant rattling] [breathing]
Let me guess.
[chirping continues]
[caw-caw] [distant clinking]
Girl is the ex,
[distant clinking continues]
you were together a long time,
and then you messed it
up. [distant rattling continues]
[laughing]
Pretty girl is the ex.
We were together a
long time, [distant clinking]
and then she cheated on me.
[subtle rattling]
Oh, with the-
With the beefcake.
Oh. [distant horn]
[distant horn]
But are you saying you
did nothing to mess it up?
No.
[distant rattling]
Well.
[sighs]
Fine, I had...
some minor gambling issues.
[distant talking]
Did you ever use her money?
Of course not.
But she didn't like
how I got it, so. [hitting]
And let me guess, the heir and the bump?
Well, I think it could
be one of two things.
Uh. [chuckles]
Okay. [rattling]
Option one,
[distant squeaking]
father of the baby cheated,
and you're dating to get
back at him. [distant squeaking]
Or option two-
[birds chirping]
What's option two?
[caw-caw]
One night stand. [creaking]
You don't know who
the father is. [creaking]
[bell ringing]
Rock on. [fingers snapping]
Single mom doing it for herself,
girlfriend. [chirping continues]
Yeah.
[distant talking]
Well,
[chirping continues]
looks like my belly...
was bigger than my eyes. [whoop]
[whoop] [food sliding] [hitting table]
Which is difficult. [picking hat]
Hey. [rustling]
Cherry.
[rustling]
Cherry, come on, I was kidding.
[phone ringing]
Fuck sake, we didn't talk.
[phone ringing continues]
[hitting]
[rustling]
[sighs] [phone ringing continues]
[chirping continues]
[phone ringing]
Yo. [sighs]
Jack: Can you speak?
Uh.
Yeah.
- How's it going?
- Disaster. She just left.
Jack: What?
My head's not in it.
[sighs]
I went by the house and saw Persia.
Jack: Come on, man. [distant clinking]
[rustling]
Look, is Persia going
to give you a story...
that will save your career? [whimpering]
- You've got a surname at least.
- Cole: Nope.
Jack: Mate,
get your head in the
game. [chirping continues]
You need to save your career.
Think of how she humiliated me.
Yeah, yeah.
[distant clinking]
- Yeah, you're right. Yeah.
- Jack: If nothing else,
- just get her name, man.
- Cole: I'm on this.
Yeah, you are. [piano music]
[piano music continues]
[crying]
[footsteps]
[distant talking]
Oh, fuck. [footsteps continues]
[moaning]
[hissing]

- I'm sorry, Cherry. - Oh, shit.
[piano music continues]
Can we start over?
Ugh.
[music fading] [footsteps]
[crying]
[]
Are you okay?
[bicycle passing by]
I'm fine. [chirping continues]
[breathing]
Just got this really annoying sciatica.
I, ugh,
never had it before you know what.
[deep breathing]
[sniffling]
[sighs]
I just wanted one date...
where I just got to have some fun and...
forget about this for a minute.
[sniffling]
[chirping continues]
Well,
[breathing]
you know what they say. [footsteps]
[distant water splashing]

Sometimes you got to
grab the bull by the horns,
even if it's going to
hurt your butt tomorrow.

Excuse me, darling,
I was just passing, and...
[music volume reduces]
I couldn't help but notice that
you... [restaurant ambiance]
[breathing]
looked in apple pie order.
[breathing]
Would you mind if I... [music continues]
[dragging chair]
join you?
[chuckles]
[inhaling]
Well, that is a compliment.
[music continues]
[chuckles]
[inhaling]
I mean, I was only on the
Adams Ale, but... [music continues]
I can make space for an ace high
like you. [chuckles] [distant rattling]
[dragging chair]
Well, I'm up... [chair rattling]
for a hog killing time. [glasses
rattling] [dragging chair]
Cole, by the way.
Cole Parker.
[music continues]
Often mistaken for Colby.
[distant clinking]
Well, that sounds like an...
easy mistake to me. [shaking hands]
[chuckles] [kissing]
And you are?
Apart from being just as cute,
but, ewe.
[chuckles]
[inhaling]
Well, ain't you a tall glass of iced
tea. [music continues] [chuckles]
[distant clinking]
And does the lady have a
name? [distant squeaking]
[restaurant ambiance continues]
Well, my name... [blowing]
is-[tense music] [putting menu]
Menus. Can I get you
anything to drink? [putting menu]
[putting menu]
Hmm, how nice of you
to ask. [music playing]
I think we will have...
[inhaling]
your finest bottle of tap water.
A fine choice, madam.
[chuckles] [menu rattling]
I could not have chosen
better myself. [footsteps]
[breathing]
Mrs., uh-
[music continues]
Mrs.-
Miss Cherry. [distant clinking]
I ain't owned by no man.
Miss Cherry.
Cherry.
[breathing]
This is...
[phew] [putting cap]
hard work.
[chuckles]
[picking menu]
I am a woman of mystery.
Of course you are, darling.
And I would like to know
something, [paper rustling]
your name perhaps or...
Where are you from?
My-my, look at all of this delicious food.
I don't know where to start. [rustling]
[rattling] [sighs]
[music continues]
Would you excuse me, ma'am,
whilst I use the restroom?
[rustling]
Mm-hmm. [rattling]
[footsteps] [distant clinking]
Sorry, did you say your
name was Cherry? [footsteps]
[putting bottle]
As in Cherry Odessa? [putting glass]
Yeah. Yes.
[putting glass]
I went to school with your cousin, Zora.
[distant rattling]
And your grandmother was my neighbor.
[typing]
Cherry: Oh.
Man: Well, Mary was a
lovely woman. [text popping]
Yeah, she was. [text popping]
[sighs]
My grandmother passed not...
too long after her, and Zora
sent me a... [soft piano music]
podcast that you did about loss...
and dealing with it, and...
[soft piano music continues]
I actually found it really helpful.
Like, really, really helpful.
[restaurant ambiance continues]
[soft piano music continues]
So, thank you.
[soft piano music continues]
Um.
It wasn't my episode, but, um,
[breathing]
I'm glad it helped.
Thank you for telling me.
[distant rattling]
[soft piano music
continues] [distant clinking]
Can I get you anything?
Staff discount.
Whoo, wee. [chair rattling]
I don't know about you,
madam, [music fading]
but I could eat a whole buffalo.
[breathing] [clinking]
Um.
Do you know what? Actually, um,
I think I'm alright. [piano music]
I think probably should head home.
Need to get a nap in.
I've got plans tonight and-[rustling]
But we only just got here.
[chuckles]
[soft piano music continues] [footsteps]
Let me walk you home.
[chair rattling]
[rustling]
[distant rattling] [phone
vibrating] [footsteps]
[footsteps continues] [birds chirping]
[distant rattling]
[footsteps continues]
This is me.
[chirping continues]
[breathing]
Okay.
[chuckles]
[deep breathing]
Yeah.
[exhaling]
[chirping continues]
Listen, uh,
I'm sorry if I said
something to offend you.
[distant rattling]
Oh, no. I'm just tired.
[road traffic] [breathing]
Well, I had a fun time.
[chirping continues]
It was unconventional, [distant rattling]
but fun.
[road traffic continues]
Unconventional is my life right now,
[breathing]
but I had fun, too.
[deep inhaling]
[dragging]
Well. [rustling]
[chuckles]
See ya.
See you.
[road traffic]
- Oh. - Oh.
[chuckles] [breathing]
[chuckles]
[footsteps]
Cole.
Yes. [footsteps]
[footsteps continues]
Would you change my bin?
[chirping continues]
[light instrumental music]
[grunting] [door opening]
[chuckles] [breathing]
Sorry to ask. I just-[footsteps]
No, it's fine. [chuckles]
One of those things I can't do,
like everything else. [door closing]
[laughing]
Surprise! [music fading]
Shit.
[music playing]
Wow.
[music continues]
What's this?
It's just a small intimate thing.
I swear, it's just us. [rustling]
No one else is coming. [rustling]
And don't worry, I'm going to
keep it on the down low, you know,
so we don't cause any issues...
- with Ash's family. - Yeah.
Please, Cherry.
We just want to do something nice for you.
Yeah, we want to just
celebrate this. [music continues]
[breathing]
So, you're not still annoyed at
me that I missed your birthday?
No.
Uh. We've talked about this,
and Sienna is very sorry
and understands why the...
pregnant girl couldn't
go to the rave. [footsteps]
I just had a really bad first
trimester. [music continues]
And I'm glad you're
feeling better now. [rustling]
[rustling]
You know I hate that.
I know.
[sighs]
But it is your baby shower.
[grunting]
[chuckles]
Cherry,
[music continues]
who is he?
Uh. Have you not paid your taxi fare again?
Cheeky cow. [chuckles] [hitting]
No, he's not the taxi driver. [chuckles]
Actually, I'm not entirely
sure if he's all that.
Yeah. Um.
What's he doing?
Checking for mayonnaise.
[music continues]
I'll get rid of him.
[music continues]
Would you like to stay and join us?
Uh.
Why not?
[hitting] [sighs]
[music continues]
Damn.
I took those.
Really?
You're a photographer?
Sometimes.
[sighs]
[chuckles]
I'll have to get your details.
And no one mention the baby daddy,
Ash situation, okay?
Why?
Because he doesn't need to know.
[deep inhaling] [paper rustling]
So,
when do we get showered
with the babies? [footsteps]
You try...
so long
[indistinct]
hoping that...
- we would... - Ooh.
[breathing]
Ooh. [going home song fading]
[music continues]
Ugh.
So hard.
Well.
[chuckles]
Come on, come on. Porn or labor?
[mouth chirping]
- Again? - Yeah.
Girl: Ah.
Oh!
Ah.
- Ah. - Cole: Uh.
I'm going to go for...
[distant rattling]
- porn. - Mm.
- Yes. - No.
- Yeah, definitely porn. - No.
What do you mean no?
That was definitely porn. [chuckles]
- Mm-mm. - It is...
labor. Wrong again.
What? [chuckles]
- No way. - Thank you.
You know not everything is porn.
Why? Did she sound
like she was enjoying it?
Well, there are many
different... [picking glass]
kinds of porn.
There are many different
kinds of labor. [slurping]
[gulping] [clinking]
Like a bit of BDSM, do we call?
Oh. [all laughing]
Why is this suddenly about me? [laughing]
- Come on, give it here. - I'd rather...
watch porn than play this game.
Oh, babe.
Don't worry.
I'm sure that baby
will just slide right out.
[chuckles]
All right, ladies and gentlemen,
[sighs]
labor...
or porn?
Oh. [subtle spanking]
Ah-Aah-Aah. [subtle spanking]
Aah-Aah. [rattling]
- Porn. - Porn.
Yeah, hundred percent porn.
That's some of your
sadomasochism shit, that.
Sure?
Well, I'm afraid it's labor.
[laughing] [crying]
- What? - Take that.
[crying] [chuckles]
- No. - Who's got the one-track mind now?
Ugh. [putting phone]
- No way. My life's a boring book.
- Sounded like she was dying.
Honey, take every drug
they have. [deep inhaling]
[chuckles] [rustling]
You'll be alright.
Next. [music playing]
[sticking finger]
[music continues]
[sucking finger]
[breathing]
[sucking finger]
- She suck... - Mm.
Mm.
I'm getting... [song playing faintly]
nuts.
Mm. [breathing]
[chuckles] [mouth clinking]
I'm getting...
[song continues playing faintly]
marshmallow with...
an undertone of caramel.
Ooh, sounds quite nice.
Yeah, it is actually.
- Do you want to try some?
- Yeah, go on, then.
[chuckles] [rustling]
- Okay. Wait, you've got to
get it... What? Oh, go on, but.
- Uh. - What was that?
[laughing]
No, it's just-[laughing]
What is that? Come on. [laughing]
[laughing]
Do I get it?
- No, you still have to... Here?
- No. - There's one?
No, it's still there. [clearing throat]
You two.
[rustling] [breathing]
So,
[mouth clicking]
well, our dearest Cherry, [breathing]
now that you have
smashed identifying baby shit,
[laughing]
you are officially ready
to become a mother.
And a wonderful mother
you'll be. [creaking]
Hear, hear. [chuckles]
Cheers.
Very well. [clinking]
Mm. [mouth clicking]
Where is the bathroom? [rustling]
Uh. Straight through there.
[rattling] [sighs]
Presents?
[deep inhaling]
No.
Oh, come on. [sighs]
Ugh.
No, it seems so final. [text message alert]
I just want to hang on to
my youth... [picking phone]
for a little bit longer.
He seems nice.
Does he?
Yeah. [rustling]
So, is it like a thing?
[laughing]
[deep breathing]
Um. [rustling]
[chair rattling]
I don't know. [footsteps]
We just met.
[music continues]
It's kind of sexy though.
[footsteps]
Researching or banging her?
I beg your pardon?
Well, which is it?
[music continues]
Is it normal to look
through strangers' phones?
Well, is it normal to want
to date a pregnant lady?
[birds chirping]
[chuckles]
Number one,
that text is not about Cherry.
But I am doing some research.
And...
frankly, [footsteps]
I am astonished that you'd
not want your friend to be dating.
[music continues]
What I want to know is... [rustling]
why.
Well, she's my friend.
I want to protect her.
Or are you just made uncomfortable...
by the idea of a woman
wanting her own autonomy...
when she's pregnant?
[music continues]
Or she's got to live a normal
life when it's convenient for you,
but not when it's convenient for her?
[rustling]
[music continues]
So, it really doesn't
bother you? [mouth clicking]
[breathing]
No.
[deep inhaling]
Not anymore.
Cherry: Uh. Is that it for games?
Yeah.
[grabbing phone]
That's it for the games.
[footsteps] [music continues]
Come on. [footsteps]
Just a bit. [breathing]
Hey,
I should probably think
about heading off. [footsteps]
No.
It's time to go?
Yeah. [rustling]
Mm.
[deep inhaling] [putting on jacket]
But...
thank you very much for including me.
I had a great time. [chuckles]
See you guys later.
Bye. [chair rattling]
See you.
Um. [footsteps]
[rattling]
So, when's the next
date then? [sighs] [rattling]
[footsteps] [breathing]
Next date?
[music continues]
Please, just put me on everything.
- Is that Ash?
- Thank you. Thank you. Thank you.
[table rattling]
- Uh. - Cherry,
what's going on?
Why are you blocking me...
- out of everything? - Show her now.
Let's go. [chair dragging]
[breathing]
Let me see.
Cherry. [footsteps]
Huh?
Cherry.
[breathing]
What's going on?
Why are you blocking me out of everything?
That's my baby.
Just please, [breathing]
let me be there for you,
for the baby.
- I better go. - I'll be the best,
best boyfriend I can be. [footsteps]
I'll be the best father I
can be. [door unlocking]
[door unlocking]
[door opening]
[footsteps]
[door closing]
Looks like I found my daddy.
[footsteps]
He's a fucking prick.
No, I feel sorry for him.
After what he did to her?
He's too busy feeling sorry for himself.
Cherry, I think you need to talk to him.
Zora.
It really has nothing
to do with him anymore.
We have to respect mama's wishes.
You can start by blocking him.
If he tries to get in contact
with you, or even turns up here,
I want you to ring me, okay?
[rustling]
Okay.
[deep inhaling]
George is going to be here
anyway, aren't you, though?
[breathing] [footsteps]
[footsteps]
So, what did you think of...?
[mouth clicking]
If you're happy,
then we're happy.
[chuckles] [breathing]
Mm.
[sighs]
Night, girls.
Thank you. [footsteps]
Come on, you.
[footsteps continues]
Oh, George. [clinking]
Thank you so much. [door closing]
Just don't worry about it.
No, honestly, I just don't know
what I would've done without you.
It's been so nice having you here.
Actually,
[footsteps]
you remember the job,
the audition for Slovakia?
[sitting down]
Uh-huh.
I got it.
What?
Oh my God, George,
that's amazing. [hitting]
When do you start?
Why didn't you tell me earlier? [hitting]
That's the thing.
I fly out tomorrow.
Tomorrow?
I'm so sorry I can't be
your birthing partner,
but I'm sure Sienna, [chuckles]
Zora or-[breathing] [putting hand]
It doesn't matter.
You've got the job. [hitting]
[breathing]
Are you sure you're okay with this?
[chuckles]
Thank you so much for letting me stay.
You know I've loved every moment,
and I'm really going to miss you...
and the little bastard.
[chuckles]
[soft piano music playing] [deep breathing]
If you need anything,
I'm just at the end of the phone.
[soft piano music continues]
Yeah.
[soft piano music continues]
[soft piano music continues]
[soft piano music continues]

[girl moaning] [music continues]
Oh, yeah, Siberia.
Make those love drums
bounce. [heavy breathing]
Make them bounce. [moaning]
Cole: Hey, Jack. [chuckles]
Oh, shit. [heavy breathing]
Just a second.
Right there, Siberia. [moaning] [clicking]
[rattling]
[whoop] [thud]
Mate, research today was
next level. [door opening]
Not only did I get... [door squeaking]
invited to the baby shower,
the baby daddy sent a video message...
bawling his eyes out. [clapping]
- Mm-hmm.
- I haven't quite figured out the...
whole situation yet, but
it is a start. [breathing]
I'm getting a whole first-hand
account of who this woman is.
Krista is going to love this.
- I'll show her who can write pro-women.
- Great.
[chuckles]
What the hell?
[rustling] [whoop]
Hey. [squeaking]
[chuckles]
[inhaling]
Oh, Jack, you're a sick man.
[girl moaning] [music playing]
Get help.
[moaning continues]
Not sure why I'm the sicko here.
- What's that supposed to mean?
- Girl: Oh, yeah.
- Girl: Fuck. - Whatever.
[closing laptop]
I've got an article to
write. [footsteps] [groaning]
[footsteps]
And shut the door.

Cole: It is.
Cherry: Did you?
[piano music continues]
[faint flashback]
Yeah, I wonder what happened to you.
What was that?

What was that? Come on. [chuckles]

[deep inhaling]

[distant kids talking]
[music fading] [birds chirping]
Hey. There she is. [footsteps]
I hope you're ready for some fun.
If fun does not involve ice skating.
Oh, come on, don't be like that.
Uh,
small problem,
or big problem.
[distant bird sound]
Unless you want me to use my baby...
as a giant inflatable crash mat. [rustling]
Oh.
Yeah.
[breathing]
I mean, if it's fun, you just
can't do it when you're pregnant.
Well, that's not true. [footsteps]
[chirping continues]
There's a fun fair down the road.
I can't go on rides, [footsteps]
and there's nowhere to
sit around here. [footsteps]
[distant talking] [chirping continues]
[chuckles]
Ideally not. [footsteps]
What else can't you do?
Um.
No nightclubs.
Too loud for baby's ears. [rustling]
Uh. No spas.
[breathing]
Can't use the steam room
or sauna. [music playing]
And no, um, pasteurized
food, [footsteps continues]
nothing raw or uncooked,
[breathing] [chirping continues]
and no Camembert cheese.
[bicycle passing by] [heavy breathing]
[heavy breathing continues]
Okay.
[sighs]
[music continues]
What can you do?
[footsteps]
[chirping continues]
[pee splashing] [sighs]
[deep inhaling]

[pee splashing continues]
Your friends are nice.
[music continues]
Thanks.
I used to have a massive social group, but,
[deep inhaling]
well,
[footsteps]
after a while, they all got
slashed. [footsteps continues]
Mm.
I think I got slashed by many
a friend. [music continues]
That does not surprise me. [footsteps]
[rattling]
Brutal. [chuckles]
[chuckles]
So, is your family in London?
Oh, it's just me and Zora now.
There was my grandmother, but
you know she passed away and-
[deep inhaling]
I don't know. [sighs]
She always wanted to see me with
a family. Now she's going to miss it.
[breathing]
Up-up-up-up.
[rattling]
Hygiene first.
[pouring sanitizer]
Thank you.
You're welcome.
For taking me to a place with no toilets.
[mouth clicking] [breathing]
Want to sit down for a bit?
[claps]
I have a better idea.
[music playing] [footsteps]
[footsteps]
[music continues]
[footsteps] [birds chirping]
So,
[footsteps]
is there anything you like
about being up the duff?
[footsteps]
[rustling]

[rustling]
[gulping] [music continues]
Okay. [sighs]
[sniffling] [rattling]

[chirping continues]
[deep breathing]
[music continues] [footsteps]
Holy shit. [laughing]
[laughing]
Oh my God, that made me jump.
[gasping]
Yeah, imagine how I feel.
He's been kicking me since 19 weeks.
Wow. [sniffling]
[music continues]
It's nice though.
[breathing]
Reminds me that there's
something real at the end of all of this.
[music continues]
[rustling]
So,
can I talk about the elephant in the room?
Oi, who you calling an elephant? [chuckles]
[music continues]
Who's the dad, and what's
the situation? [sniffling]
[sighs]
Look, I wouldn't be a
smart guy... [breathing]
if I didn't know where I stood.
And where do you want to stand?
[chirping continues]
At the end of the day, we're just...
[rustling]
two people seeing how it goes,
and...
whether he is in or out,
I am a single mum,
and that's... [breathing]
all that you need to know.
[footsteps]
He?
And he is very protective over me.
[distant rattling]
[rustling]
[footsteps]
[music fading] [footsteps continues]
I thought you couldn't do anything fun.
Well, maybe I was wrong. [footsteps]
[music playing] [footsteps]
Just a bit.

[music continues]
Good news and bad news.
- What's that? - Need the loo.
[indistinct]
Oh.

[breathing]
Mm.
Mm.
[chuckles]
[footsteps]
[chuckles]
[music continues]
So, you need your bin
taken out again? [sighs]
Um.
Not tonight.
[car moving] [breathing]
No surprise group of friends ready to...
ambush you tonight?
[inhaling]
Uh.
No, it doesn't look like it. [footsteps]
[breathing]
Alright.
Well,
[music continues]
[kissing]
I had a lot of fun.
Good night.
[footsteps]
He didn't give me the
prosecco... [rustling]
[indistinct] [music changing]
Yeah, I can't say the word. [tense music]
- Oh, burner. - Oh God.
Burner.
Hey, [laughing]
you.
[whimpering]
You having a baby shower...
without inviting the baby's
grandmother? [birds chirping]
- Hmm? - Hmm?
And auntie. [rustling]
Mm-hmm.
Selma.
Ria.
[chirping continues]
- What a... It is a disgrace...
to keep Ash's family away from the child.
Hmm? [distant hammering]
[sighs]
So,
- where was our invitation? - Mm-hmm.
[music continues]
To what? [chuckles]
Come on. Show. Show her.
Show her. Mmm? [car passing by]
[car passing by]
[distant horn]
No one got an invitation.
Ooh, see how she lie. [claps]
- Mom. Mom. - She lie. She lie.
Lie, lie, lie, [clapping]
- lie. Ooh. No. - Mom, just-
Women like this make me
sick. Hmm. [music continues]
You just love having a man,
just have a baby put in you,
and then you throw him to the ground. Huh?
You should be put in jail.
[chuckles]
[chirping continues]
- Mm.
- You really think you know everything,
- don't you? - Mm-hmm.
You treated my son like rubbish.
- What about the way he treated me? - Ooh.
[crying] [hitting] [sighs]
Mom.
[crying continues]
Mom. [hitting]
Mom, just chill. [music stops]
Lies. [hitting] [breathing]
Look, I know the path with
you and Ash... [phone ringing]
wasn't always smooth
sailing, [music continues]
but he's in pieces... [crying continues]
and it's killing us to see him like it.
My son is heartbroken.
[hitting] [car passing by]
[whimpering]
Well, I mean, he should have
thought of that before he cheated on me.
Lies!
- How can... Mom.
[grunting]
Gosh.
[vehicle squeaking] [footsteps]
[crying]
[crying continues] [rustling]
[sighs]
Look,
while my grandmother was ill
in hospital, [crying continues]
he was sleeping with his friend for months.
[music continues]
[sniffling]
[distant talking]
[sighs]
We didn't know.
[car passing by]
Boys will be boys,
[crying]
but you can't keep Ash
away from the child. [spanks]
[crying]
I haven't slept in weeks.
I can't take it any longer. [crying]
I know, Mom.
I know.
[crying continues]
Look,
it can't be nice for you
to see your son like that,
so I will...
[breathing]
speak to Ash.
[deep breathing] [chirping continues]
[music continues]
You will? Hmm?
[chuckles] [distant rattling]
I'll speak to him.
[laughing]
[clapping] [laughing continues]
And aren't you cooking him nicely?
Mwah. Mwah.
[laughing] [clapping]
Don't get too fat, [car passing by]
because the weight
won't come off, you know.
And drink plenty of water too, yeah?
[indistinct]
And you see your shoes? [car passing by]
You won't be able to wear...
nice high heels anymore,
because your foot will spread.
- Mom, she knows. - She don't know.
- Me have to tell her first one. - Mom.
Well, I'm just being open. [rustling]
Oh, [indistinct].
Nice [indistinct].
Too much [indistinct].
Anyway, thank you.
See you soon.
Come on. Come on.

Mr Rarity, or did you get
lost... [clicking continues]
on your way back from

Hi, Krista. Nice to see you, too.
Actually, laptop keeps
turning off. [distant sneezing]
[mouth clicking] [sighs]
That implies you've actually been using it.
Filling in job applications, I assume.
There's no need for that.
I have been working on a
story that you are going to love.
[chuckles]
I doubt that, Cole. [distant rattling]

No, no, no, no.
Let me go first, my little Cherry Choo.
[rustling] [breathing]
[box opening]
Oh my God, Ash, no.
No, no, no. Uh. Please don't.
- Yes, yes. - Please.
Wife? [music playing]
[chuckles]
I know I haven't been perfect,
[mouth clicking]
but I want to make you mine. [piano music]
All.
All mine.
[sniffling]
Because I love you. I love you. [chuckles]
And I am going to love you...
[music continues]
until the day we die.
[breathing]
And if there's a life after
that, I'm going to love you then.
- Ash. - And if there's a life after that,
I'm going to love you then.
[breathing]
[rustling]
Will you marry me?
[music continues]
You're not the father. [music fading]
Well, I've run all the
tests on the hardware.
Everything looks fine.
However,
you will need a new laptop
charger. [phone ringing]
Great.
Best case scenario then. [putting hands]
Thank you, Aaron.
- No worries. - So, you...
found the serial dater then?
You might say that. [plastic ticking]
[sighs]
Why did she do it? Who's the father?
Still working on that bit.
Oh, well, you might want
to work a little bit harder,
because it's due in tomorrow.
[breathing]
Um.
It's all above board ethically,
right? [distant subtle typing]
[faint distant talking]
You'll get your story.
[music playing]
[chuckles]
I know. Um. [birds chirping]
- We're so excited.
- You know it's a really good excuse...
to eat, though.
[laughing]
- Woo! - Yes, it is.
[laughing continues]
What do you mean you haven't bulged yet?
[chirping continues]
I don't know, but
apparently. [music continues]
Very important if you don't want to tear.
[hissing] [chuckles]
Oh.
Hi, there.
[footsteps] [music continues]
Cherry?
[distant road traffic]
Sorry, I recognize your
profile picture from the group.
Are you joining us?
- Um. - Come on.
[chuckles]
[breathing]
Hi, guys.
- Hi. - Take a seat.
There you go. [chuckles]
Thank you.
So, we have a new face
joining us today. [chair rattling]
So, I thought it'd be quite
nice to go around the group...
and introduce ourselves.
I'm Erica,
I'm expecting twins with my husband.
Honeymoon babies.
Our first and second all at once.
We are... [chuckles]
- due in two months. - Oh.
Oh.
You look so excited.
I'm Tia,
and it's my first baby with my partner.
[breathing]
Eighteen weeks and, whoa,
[blowing]
still waiting for the bumping.
I'm Sarah, [chuckles]
I'm 12 weeks, [chirping continues]
[breathing]
so I'm in the first
trimester with my first baby,
which, um,
basically just means I...
feel sick all the time. [inhaling]
- Ugh, that's the worst.
- Tell me about it though.
Please. [laughing]
[breathing] [laughing continues]
Uh-oh.
Where did she go?
[music continues]
[blowing]
[chirping continues]
[sighs]
[chirping continues]
Bit fast for a pregnant woman.
- Mm-hm. - Yeah.
[distant cart rattling]
There you are. What time do
you call this? [music continues]
Come on, you're late.
You try rushing with a
watermelon attached to you.
[music continues]
What is this place?
[music continues] [distant rattling]
It's a surprise.
[distant hitting]
It's nicer on the inside, trust me.
[distant rattling]
Okay.
[chuckles] [footsteps]
[footsteps continues]
[whistling] [creaking]
No! No whistling. [chuckles]
[footsteps] [music continues]
[subtle rustling]
Okay, that is not the
face of... [breathing]
unsuppressed glee that I was anticipating.
[music continues]
No.
Come on. Cherry? [footsteps]
What? Come on.
No, this-
No, I'm not in the mood. [music continues]
I'm not doing this.
Why not?
We've got the whole place booked out.
Come on, it'll be great.
You love a shoot.
I've seen the photographs,
- you can't deny it.
- Yes, I love a shoot...
when I'm not the size
of a whale. [rustling]
- Nothing fits. - You're not a whale,
a dolphin.
A small dolphin. [music continues]
I have three chins.
[music fading]
Each one more beautiful
than the last. [hitting]
Oh my God, you're not helping. [chuckles]
[chuckles]
You look beautiful. [footsteps]
[sighs]
Zora.
[footsteps] [breathing]
What are you...
doing here? [chair squeaking]
I mean,
the session is paid for.
[chair squeaking]
And for what it's worth,
you are glowing. Or at least
I think that's what people say.
Zora: Come on. [Zora sighs]
[deep inhaling] [footsteps]
He did go through a lot of effort.
Look, I'm sorry. [sighs]
I thought that maybe you'd want
to... [chair squeaking] [spanks]
commemorate this or something.
But if you're absolutely
sure you don't, then...
we can just skedaddle. [chair squeaking]
[clinking]
[footsteps]
Come on then.

You have an awfully lot of...

[distant sirens]
And you for me.
[waves splashing continues]
I'm on maternity leave.
What's your excuse?
[breathing]
Yeah, well, I'm...
a freelancer. What can I say? [chuckles]
So.
What are you going to do after?
After?
After. [rustling]
[chuckles]
[breathing]
Yes, that is the great unknown.
[waves splashing continues]
I don't know, sometimes I just feel...
[breathing]
like I'm going to be like this forever.
I guess the scariest part of it all is...
the fear of losing yourself.
[waves splashing continues]
Yeah, but change can be good.
Yeah.
I don't know. I was going
to set up... [breathing]
my own podcast.
I've still not got around to that.
What's it going to be about?
[sighs]
I don't know.
[chuckles] [breathing]
What about this?
[waves splashing continues]
What?
This.
Oh.
Um.
Well, people don't really care
about pregnant women, do they?
Well, that's not true.
[waves splashing continues]
Where's the dad anyway?
Shouldn't he be helping
you out in all this?
I'm very lucky.
My grandmother left me the house,
and it's mortgage free, and I get...
[deep inhaling]
some maternity pay.
[sighs]
I don't know. I'm quite lucky, I guess.
[waves splashing continues]
[distant police siren]
[deep breathing]
And what about you?
I don't really buy the...
children's book writer thing. [chuckles]
What are your hopes and dreams?
[breathing]
I had what I wanted,
and then it got taken from me.
[waves splashing continues]
By the beefcake?
[sighs] [chuckles]
[chuckles]
You know, maybe you should quit
children's books and write a men's...
self-help book for blokes and read it.
[laughing]
[breathing]
Maybe you're right.
[waves splashing continues]
I mean,
now I'm not being funny,
you're clearly not over this girl.
[chuckles]
Come on, let's face it.
This is not going anywhere. We're just...
[deep breathing]
two people passing time,
who got cheated on.
[distant birds chirping]
Oh.
[waves splashing continues]
Okay.
[distant chirping continues]
I mean,
she did cheat on you, and
then... [waves splashing continues]
you got slapped.
[waves splashing continues]
Yeah, alright.
You put it like that.
Jesus. [chuckles]
[footsteps]
I'm just saying. [chuckles] [piano music]
Mm. Just saying.
If I was you,
[music continues]
I'd want to maybe get my own back.
[waves splashing continues]

Cherry Odessa, what are you suggesting?

Cherry: What?

Oh, hi.
[piano music fading]
Can I help you?
[birds chirping]
Who are you?
[rustling] [sighs]
Excuse me?
[distant road traffic]
I think you have the
wrong address. [footsteps]
Oh, is this not the house of
Cole Parker? [chirping continues]
Um.
[door squeaking] [breathing]
Not anymore. Why do you need Cole? [sighs]
[breathing]
Oh, um, don't worry.
I'm sorry to bother you.
Wait.
[music continues]
How do you know Cole?
[breathing]
[rustling]
Oh, well,
[chirping continues]
it was only meant to be a one night thing,
but I just, [music playing]
[deep breathing]
I couldn't go through life
without... [distant road traffic]
little Cole Junior... [rustling]
knowing who his father was.
Oh my God.
[music continues]
[shocked]
[rustling] [door squeaking]
Are you saying you're
carrying Cole's child?
[sighs]
I hope he has his
father's sexy... [rustling]
browny-gray eyes and wind.

Would you just? Just
wait there. [airplane flying]

[rustling]

You'll find him there.
[paper rustling]
[sighs]
Thank you.
When, um-
If you don't mind me
asking, when are you due?
When did you get together?
[breathing] [squeaking]
Oh, conceived on the 6th
of May, [distant squeaking]
on the 21 bus to Plaistow.
[chirping continues]
Oh.
[music continues]
Oh my goodness. [rustling]
Were you...?
[sighs]
You were together?
[sighs]
Oh my God.
That lying, cheating...
[footsteps] [breathing]
piece of dirt.
[music continues] [distant road traffic]
Years of a...
relationship built on trust and
love, and he's just thrown it away.
[breathing]
He is the scum of the earth.
[sighs]
I'm so sorry.
[music continues]
I knew he was donating
sperm to the fertility clinic.
I had no idea he cheated too.
[music continues]
[breathing]
Well,
[birds chirping] [footsteps]
it sounds like we're
better off without him.
See you. [footsteps]
[music continues]
[door rattling] [deep breathing]
[music fading] [door slamming]
That was so good. She
thought every second. [footsteps]
[footsteps continues] [laughing]
[distant barking] [breathing]
Ugh.
[birds chirping]
Why did she say that
weird thing about you...
donating sperm?
Oh, it's nothing. It's just some...
weird idea she got into her
head. [distant engine whirring]
- I feel kind of bad. - No, don't.
Are you kidding me?
She deserved it.
[breathing]
Thank you.
[engine whirring continues]
In an iniquitous way,
I really enjoyed that. [chuckles]
So, want me to return the favor? [inhaling]
Be a good co-parent, call this Ash guy?
[rustling]
I think he's suffered
enough. [car passing by]
[car passing by] [breathing]
But, uh,
there is something you could do for me.

Yeah, fine.
[sighs]
Ugh. [ice rattling]
[ice rattling continues]

[music continues]
Oh, that feels so good.
[deep breathing]
Are you...
icing your nipples?
Yeah.
Oh yeah, baby.
Pregnancy is weird.
Yeah. [chuckles]

Everyday is an adventure.
Oh.

Little bit lower.
Cole: Okay.
[squeaking faintly]
Ah, so good.
[chuckles]
- There. - Oh, okay.
[breathing]
Uh-huh.
[deep inhaling]
- Mm. - Cole: Ah.
[clearing throat]
You know, I just
realized. [music continues]

I have got a deadline tomorrow.
- Uh. I've got to get up really early.

Come on.
What are you doing? [exhaling]

Uh. We are in a good... [breathing]
place, a safe place.
- I know what you're doing. - What?
With the music and then... [stammering]
the candles and the nipple icing.
It's not fair.
[music continues]
[rustling]
Okay.
[music fading]
- I want to have sex. - Mm-hmm.
[creaking]
But I promise it won't be weird. [rustling]
[exhaling]
Promise.
Oh, it's just a bit of harmless
sex with a pregnant woman.
Harmless sex with a woman. [music playing]
[sighs] [music continues]
Tell me that you... [breathing]
don't want to try it.
[music continues]
[growling]

Okay.
So. [chuckles]
Let's.

Yes, yes.

[kissing] [sighs]
Oh, that's good. [rustling]
Whoa. [rattling]
What?
What did I tell you about nipples?
[music continues]
So, no boobs?
No.
No boobs, Einstein. [breathing]
Okay.
[rustling]
[kissing]
[creaking]
[deep breathing]
Ah! [sighs] [kissing]
Sorry.
[music continues]
They just look really good.
[breathing]
I know.
- I'm up three bra sizes. - No.
Why would you tell me...
- that? - Mm.
[kissing] [breathing] [music continues]
[chuckles]
Whoa, wait, wait, not
on my back. [chuckles]
What? Why not?
Because the womb and the baby... [creaking]
put pressure on the arteries...
that take the blood and oxygen baby,
so it could cause a miscarriage.
[music continues]
It's not really great pillow talk, is it?
It's...
educational.
[music continues]
Okay, the pretzel dip it is. [breathing]

Oh, yeah, you did. [chuckles]

Oh. [laughing]
Oh my God, do you know

No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.

There was a pregnant lady that

Oh.

I met someone.

You.

everything. [road traffic]
Do you both live here?

Shut the fuck up. [thud]

Never seen her before in your life, huh?
[road traffic continues]
[pushing] [breathing]
[footsteps]
[road traffic continues] [music continues]
A child is all I ever wanted.
A family.
And you refused to give that to me.
[road traffic continues] [music continues]
He told me he never wanted children,
and then I caught him selling
his semen to the fertility clinic...
down the road on gambling money.
[breathing]
He was selling my hopes and
my dreams to someone else.
[music continues]
So, I left him in the worst way possible.
[road traffic continues]
And you know what, Cole?
I don't regret it for one minute.
[breathing]
[footsteps]
Cherry, I'm sorry.
[engine whirring]
Stay away from me.
- Stay away from me. - I'm sorry.
- Stay away from me.
- Cherry. Cherry, I'm...
sorry, okay? Cherry. [tense music] [thud]
What the fuck? [door opening]
Don't touch my car.
I'm fucking pregnant and
you nearly hit me. [road traffic]
- Get out the fucking road then. - Oh,
- fuck off. - Cherry.
Look at me. Are you okay? [footsteps]
- No. - Are you okay?
Fuck.
[crying] [music playing]
- Call an ambulance. - Not yet. Not yet.
Cherry, it's okay. It's going to be okay.
Look at me. Look at me.
It's going to be okay, alright? [breathing]
Just breathe. Deep breaths.
Deep breaths, okay? Deep
breaths. [breathing continues]
It's alright, it's alright.
Come on, with me.
Better.
In and out. [road

Come on. In and out. [breathing continues]

He tried to go in the ambulance

[music continues]
Then he took my car to

[road traffic continues]
He's been out here for hours.
[music fading] [chirping continues]
[footsteps]
[deep breathing]
[footsteps continues]
[rustling]
How you doing?
[chirping continues]
Shit.
[distant road traffic]
I'm sure they'll both be okay.
Anything past 28 weeks, and
there's a good infant survival rate.
She was well past that.
[ducks quacking] [road traffic continues]
She's never going to forgive me.
Do you blame her?
[ducks quacking continues]
[chirping continues]
[deep inhaling]
It's like she had this friend,
but what she needed was company,
[ducks quacking continues]
to feel loved,
[distant jogging footsteps]
not alone.
[road traffic continues]
Sounds like she wasn't
the only one. [rustling]
[rustling]
I finished the story, but it's
never going to see the light of day.
So, just do your worst and...
[ducks quacking continues]
wipe all memory of my writing career, okay?
[road traffic continues] [distant siren]
It doesn't matter anymore.
[breathing]
Look, the assignment was to write
something from the female perspective.
And though you really
screwed that up, [breathing]
[chirping continues]
I think you've learned something,
and I'm willing to give
you a second chance.
Actually, Krista,
[road traffic continues]
I don't think I should be
writing about subjects that...
I don't know the first thing about.
[vehicle moving]
Then write whatever you like.
As long as it grabs the
headlines, that's all I need from you.
[birds sounds]
[chirping continues]
[road traffic continues]
I appreciate that.
[road traffic continues]
I really do.
[deep inhaling]
But ten years is a long time.
[ducks quacking continues]

something that excites me again.

Urinary tract infection. [chuckles]
For God sake. [laughing]

You're lucky it didn't
escalate into a kidney infection.
Six hours in the...
A&E doesn't felt too lucky. [breathing]

But on hindsight, I guess I am.
[chuckles]
[phone vibrating]

It's Cole.
What do I do?
Block him,
just like I have.
[phone vibrating continues] [creaking]
Are you sure?
Uh, what don't I know here?
[phone vibrating continues]
[ticking]
He can't know.
What?
Cherry thinks he's donor-1505.
- What? As in... 185 centimeters in height,
Caucasian,
British, atheist, and works as a writer.
That could be so many people.
No.
I recognized him the day I first saw
him. [whoop] [subtle beep] [music playing]
I just didn't know how. [subtle beep]
No. [whoop]
There's no way.
[music continues]
That's insane.
Uh. It impossible.
I mean, it's insane,
but it's not impossible.
Can't you just call the clinic
and have him clear it up?
Look, we tried that.
[music continues]
They have a privacy policy.
You can literally see the donor's
image for three months, and that's it.
[deep breathing]
Their privacy policy is strict and final.
[exhaling] [music continues]
Well, surely if you tell him, and
then you can both go together.
They've got to respect both your wishes.
He's not ready to be a dad.
And I...
didn't want a baby daddy. [music fading]
So, what are you gonna do?
[music playing]
What I said I'd do.
[music continues]
Mm-hmm.

Third trimester?
[light piano music]
Like some raspberry
leaf tea? [distant barking]
Strengthens the uterus.
[laughing]
[blowing]
Don't mind if I do.
[chuckles]
Come, come join us. Come
and sit down. [chuckles]
[sniffling]
There you go.
So, Cherry, [music continues]
[breathing]
tell us about your pregnancy. [clinking]
[clinking]
So, I'm 36 weeks. [barking continues]
- Ooh. - Not long now.
[chuckles]
And I'm single. [clinking]
[barking continues]
Decided to do it on my own,
so IVF baby, there's no
dad. [chirping continues]
[clinking] [sighs]
[laughing] [music continues]
I know, it's a weird situation. [laughing]
Oh, no. Sorry.
Uh. It just made me laugh
because, well, [chirping continues]
I'm the same.
[laughing]
IVF baby, no dad.
Why should I miss out on having
a baby just because I haven't...
- met the right man? - Mm.
[sniffling] [chuckles]
I'm Stephany. [chuckles]
[laughing]
- Oh. - Oh, that's weird.
[laughing]
Goosebumps.
[laughing] [sniffling] [music fading]
Oh.
[barking continues] [sniffling]
So, no Donna today? [road traffic]
[road traffic continues]
[barking continues]
[barking continues]
[chirping continues]
[barking continues]
She lost her baby girl yesterday.
[barking continues] [chirping continues]
Oh my God.
[distant talking]
That's heartbreaking.
[barking continues] [music playing]
[rustling]
Unimaginable.
[distant talking] [music continues]
[whoop]
[chirping continues]
[distant talking] [distant rustling]
Oh my God.
[distant road traffic] [chirping
continues] [music continues]
Even though...
[sniffling]
being a mom and... [chuckles]
[sniffling]
pregnancy...
is really, really hard,
[chirping continues]
and we are all so incredibly
fortunate, [road traffic]
and we must not forget that.
Hmm?
[music playing] [chirping continues]
- Yeah. - To Donna.
[rustling]
To Donna.
[clinking] [chuckles]
[breathing]
[barking continues]
[music continues]
Oh, this is nice.
Yeah, and that warn. [chuckles]
[deep breathing]
Ah. [clinking]
[chirping continues]
Oof.
- Oh. - Um.
[music fading]
Are you okay?
Yeah, yeah, yeah, I just...
[distant talking]
I just had a big lunch.
[chuckles]
Oh.
[laughing] [breathing]
Are you sure? [breathing]
I, uh.
[distant talking]
[hissing]
No, actually, I don't think
that's lunch. [gasping]
[chuckles]
[music playing] [chirping
continues] [laughing]
No. [laughing]
- Oh my God. - Oh, no.
- What do we do? - It's okay.
Get some more tea.
No, please.
Get some more tea. [clinking]
No more tea. No. What
is in this tea? [laughing]
[laughing] [distant siren]
[soft piano music continues]
[birds chirping]
[phone ringing]
[chirping continues]
[phone ringing]
[soft piano music continues]
Jack, mate.
- How's it going? - All good, mate.
- How did the meeting go? - Yeah, good.
[rubbing]
I got the deal.
[music continues]
I am now officially a
self-help book writer.
Celebrating in style with
a strong... [picking cup]
[breathing]
coffee.
Jack: Cole, that's great. [music fading]
I'm so proud of you.
But that's not why I'm
calling. [vehicle moving]
[putting cup]
Guess who I've just seen.
[vehicle moving] [chirping continues]
Ah. [piano music] [birds chirping]
Child: Aa-Aaa.
Aaaa.
- Child: Aa. - Cherry: Ooh.
[laughing]
Dance, Baba. [bouncing baby] [wind blowing]
Wee.
[chuckles]
Wee.
[chuckles]
Row your boat gently down
the stream. [wind blowing]
Merrily, merrily, merrily,
merrily, [chirping continues]
life is but a dream. [music continues]
[laughing] [wind blowing continues]
[bicycle passing]
[footsteps] [piano music continues]
[chirping continues]
[footsteps]
Excuse me. [footsteps]
I am so sorry, but I have
a massive favor to ask you.
[chirping continues]
Could you get my bag, please?
[piano music fading]
[chuckles]
[chirping continues]
Hi.
Hi.
[chirping continues]
[breathing]
Wow.
[footsteps]
So, this is the guy.
[sighs]
Oh, yeah, there's
someone I'd like you to meet.
[chirping continues]
His name is Cole.
[chuckles]
[Cherry chuckles]
Wait, really?
[wind blowing]
No.
[wind blowing continues]
[chirping continues]
[Cole breathing] [chuckles]
Well, it's nice to meet you anyway.
[wind blowing continues]
He's gorgeous, just
like his mum. [footsteps]
[chirping continues]
Thank you.
[footsteps]
Listen, I, uh-[footsteps]
[picking bag]
I wanted to say I'm sorry...
for everything.
[chirping continues]
[distant talking]
It's fine.
[chirping continues]
Really, it's okay.
[breathing]
[putting on bag]
Do you want to go for a
catch-up sometime? [rustling]
A date...
maybe,
[breathing]
with someone who really likes you.
[chirping continues]
Always did, actually.
[chirping continues]
[wind blowing continues]
I mean, I'm not pregnant anymore.
- That going to be a problem for you?
- It's not what I'm used to,
but...
I think I might be able to make it work.
[wind blowing continues]
[chirping continues]
And your ex isn't going to jump
out the bush, cover you in lipstick?
[both laughing]
I hope not.
[chirping continues]
[chuckles]
[distant dog barking]
[chirping continues]
[distant dog barking]
I could see if Zora will babysit.
[wind blowing continues]
Who knows,
maybe I might even unblock you.
[chirping continues]
I would appreciate that.
[chirping continues]
[wind blowing continues]
[breathing]
You know, he sort of looks familiar.
[chirping continues]
Maybe more than you think. [piano music]

Going home, we're going

Maybe it will be me going MIA tonight.
[growling]
Good luck.
Maybe it will be me going MIA tonight.

[indistinct] [snapping]

[Persia screaming]
Just the last bit.
Can you wait?
