Do we know each other?

Could've sworn.
You just look so familiar.

Never tell a woman
she looks familiar.
(MAN CHUCKLES)
I'm a little out of
practice. It's been a while.
-Really?
-Mm.
Huh.
(BOTH LAUGH)
What you're supposed to say
is that you noticed me
from across the room,
couldn't believe I was here
all by myself,
and that you came over here
with one thing on your mind.
Which is?
That you're not
leaving without me.
Huh.
(PUTS GLASS DOWN)
So what's your name?
Craig.
(LAUGHS)
(CRAIG CHUCKLES)
What's wrong with 'Craig'?
It's a dad's name. (LAUGHS)
No, I'm sorry.
It's fine.
-So, Craig
-Mm-hm?
I feel like I should just
be really honest with you.
Um
(WHISPERS) I am
a little engaged.

-Hey.

I'm such an idiot. She

LINA: What? No,
you're way hotter.
Come on, from the top,
tell me everything.
OK, look, Nick's got his
trivia piss-up with the boys
every Tuesday.
And never invites you,
because God forbid
Exactly.
Except this time,
I know that Kai's
still in Thailand
and Jono is sick.
Ah. Alarm bells.
Big fuckin' alarm bells.
So I turn on his Find My
while he was sleeping.
Next minute, I'm parked in Bondi
outside some chick's place.
-You didn't!
-Hell, yeah, I did!
I mean, if you're
gonna cheat on me,
at least have some
class about it.
I logged into his dating apps,
and look at all these girls.
-Yeah?
-Ohh.
Unmatch.
Unmatch, bitch!
-'Bye, ho!
-Yes!
Unmatch!
-You know what, he deserves it.
-Yes!
-He's dead to us.
-Fuck him.
Now give me the phone before
you do something stupid.
You know what the
best revenge is?
Just find the hottest guy
in here and take him home.
TESS: I am so sick of it.
The small-talk, the
ghosting, the mid sex
You know what, it's actually
not that much better on my end.
Uh, you just had that
amazing night out with Cain
and I know for a fact
that the sex was good.
But that was two weeks ago.
If it was up to me, I'd be
getting dicked down every day.
Yes! Me too!
Yeah!
(TESS SIGHS)
Anyway, how are you?
Tired.
Let me guess - wedding planning?
Every time we put a
cap on the numbers,
Cain's mum finds, like,
another dozen cousins
that I didn't know about.
And you know, it's, like,
all the other stuff too.
Like, Clare reckons
we need a hashtag.
Here's a hashtag.
Clare needs to back the fuck up.
I'll pitch it to her.
She might like it.
You know what,
she might like it.

Well, that's tomorrow's problem.
Well, if she spent

thinking about

her life would be a lot easier.

A proper martini
needs proper liquor.
-Right.
-Yeah.
Let me guess - you know a place?
I do know somewhere, actually.
But it's an 18-hour flight away

It's his idea.
Maybe get a pub feed,
make a day of it.
All good?
No, it's just I
I don't know, I just thought
maybe we could chill.

Heard you were looking
to have it valued.
I'm not interested in selling.
CLARE: You can do so
much more than sell.
Be creative.
Or use it as equity like we did
with our NestShare apartment.
Sounds risky.
What's a little
risk to feel alive?
All I'm saying is it's a
liability to keep it empty.
-CLARE: Mm.
-AXEL: Well, think about it.
You're just opening the
way for some whack job
to move in and set up shop.
-Or a frogger.

-A what?

Some poor chick found
a guy in her ceiling.

He'd been living
there for six months.
Had a cook top and
everything. (LAUGHS)

liked to watch.

LINA: Hey.
Hey! Where are you going?
To Axel and Clare's.
Get some fuckin' answers.
We don't even know
that it's them.
Well, this is their place
and the simplest explanation
is usually right.
Yeah, but they're good people.
Well, plenty of good
people do messed-up things.
Just please Hey, Dan.
They're they're my friends.
I'm begging you.
Aren't you furious?
Who knows what they've seen?
What they've done
with the footage?
Yeah, you're making
a lot of assumptions.
This will blow up my life.
Please just give
me time to think.

She's just walked in now.
Yeah. I'll ask her. OK.
(FOOTSTEPS APPROACH)
Who was that?
-(PHONE THUDS)
-Axe.
(LOW, TENSE MUSIC)
Hey, come here.
You look exhausted.
Oh, it's just a long day.
CAIN: Hmm.
What did Axe want?
Uh, we're gonna go
up to Pa's tomorrow.
Get it ready for fire season.
-Just the two of you.
-Hm.
It's his idea.
Maybe get a pub feed,
make a day of it.
All good?
No, it's just I
I don't know, I just thought
maybe we could chill.
Hey, why don't we all go?
You, me, Axe, Clare.
It'd be fun.
Don't we have Zara this weekend?
They could swap with her dad.
-(FRIDGE SHUTS)
-Come on, it'd be great.
Yeah, I just
I just feel like the place
is such a mess, you know?
What will Clare think?
She's been dying to see it.

CLARE: It is nice, hey?

(KEYS JANGLE)
(CLARE LAUGHS)
(RUSTLING)
LINA: Sorry.
CAIN: Alright, welcome, guys.
Sorry, it's a little bit dusty.
(CAIN GRUNTS) Give
us a hand, Axe?
AXEL: Yeah, sure.
(DOOR SLIDES SHUT)
(UNEASY MUSIC)
(CLARE LAUGHS) So cute!
Wow. Is that your mum?
Yeah. Um, it was first
day of school, I think.
-CLARE: Ohhh!
-One of her good days.
She's beautiful.
(CHUCKLES)
(UNEASY MUSIC CONTINUES)
-AXEL: Mmm!
-(CLARE LAUGHS SOFTLY)
AXEL: What do you think?
Should we do it now?
CLARE: In a bit. Let them
get the drinks first.
-Hey, you OK?
-Mm-hm.
-Want to take these?
-Yep.
-AXEL: Wow, what a spot.
-CLARE: Mmm!
Heard you were looking
to have it valued.
I'm not interested in selling.
CLARE: You can do so
much more than sell.
Be creative.
Or use it as equity like we did
with our NestShare apartment.
Sounds risky.
What's a little
risk to feel alive?
All I'm saying is it's a
liability to keep it empty.
-CLARE: Mm.
-AXEL: Well, think about it.
You're just opening the
way for some whack job
to move in and set up shop.
-Or a frogger.
-AXEL: Yes!
-A what?
-CLARE: I saw it on TikTok.
Some poor chick found
a guy in her ceiling.
Jesus!
He'd been living
there for six months.
Had a cook top and
everything. (LAUGHS)
-What did he want?
-CAIN: Thank you.
Apparently, he just
liked to watch.
CAIN: Ugh. Gross.
AXEL: Well, everyone has
their kinks nowadays.
Yeah, don't yuck someone's yum.
-I agree.
-(LAUGHS)
-AXEL: Mm!
-(CLARE LAUGHS)
-(AXEL AND CLARE KISS)
-AXEL: Mmm, you're yum.
(CLARE LAUGHS)
CLARE: Oh, speaking of yum
Hold that thought.
Ta-da!
-(LAUGHS)
-AXEL: Ohhh!
CLARE: Prescription.
AKA the good stuff.
I'm researching
herbal supplements.
-Wanna be my lab rats?
-(PHONE BUZZES)
CAIN: I've learnt my
lesson after your party.
CLARE: It's super mild.
And we'll take care of you.
Won't we, Lina?
Yeah.
Hey, we're unplugging.
I was just checking my roster.

That view!
Come on, you two!
Let's get this party started.
(UNEASY MUSIC CONTINUES)
-(JOINT SIZZLES)
-(FIRE CRACKLES)
It'd be a whole new range.
Capsules, skin care, edibles.
-Yeah, that'd crush.
-CLARE: Mm.
(GASPS) Oh, my God.
Lina, brainwave.
You should get married here!
You reckon?
CLARE: There's so
much love here.
You just need to spruce
the place up a little.
Fairy lights.
Get rid of the swamp. Clear
out all the junk, obviously.
But yeah!
I don't know, Mum was dead
set on a proper venue, but
it'd be pretty intimate.
Hmm, says the guy
with 300 cousins.
Alright, cheaper.
AXEL: Yeah, and then
when you do that,
you could put it on NestShare.
Pay for the honeymoon.
Do you think anyone
would rent it, though?
What, a rustic getaway?
People lap that shit up.
Clare's right, though.
Probably need to
spruce it up a bit.
-Not a bad idea.
-Hmm.
Gonna do all that with
your wrist, are you?
-Hmm?
-We could hire someone.
Maybe, uh, find a local.
Or get Dan. He's the best.
AXEL: He's fine.
(TROUBLING MUSIC)
CAIN: Should I know who that is?
CLARE: Yeah.
He drove you home from
the party the other night.
CAIN: Mate, I don't
remember a damn thing.
I thought he was leaving town.
Give him a reason to stay.
Better yet, let him crash here.
Saves you both some cash.
CAIN: Ooh.
(TROUBLING MUSIC CONTINUES)
Give us his number. I'll, um
I'm plugged in inside
if you wanna grab it.
-No, I'll I'll get it.
-No, no, no.
It's alright. I've gotta
get more wine anyway.
-You sure?
-Yeah, yeah.
Um, what's your pin?

-Hey!
How was your run? I was
wondering where you got to.
What's going on?
So you remember what
we decided. Yeah?
We don't know when we're
gonna be back up again.
I thought maybe we could get Dan
to come and have
a look at things.
Hey, if it was up to me, I
I really wouldn't do too much.
This place is beautiful.
(CAIN SCOFFS) You're talking
yourself out of a job, mate.
Look what we found.
DAN: Yeah, this this
is really not good.
It might go underneath
the floorboards,
but I'd have to get
underneath to know for sure.
Um, where's Axe and Clare?
They went out for coffee.
I'm just gonna grab a broom.
-Just mind your step.
-(GLASS PIECES CLINK)
Do you want a hand?
CAIN: Nah, it's fine.
I've got it. Thank you.
(SOFTLY) What the fuck?
(WHISPERS) I'm sorry. I
assumed this was your idea.
I would've texted
you back if it was.
-You can't just rock up.
-I know.
What the fuck is wrong with you?
You're right. I'm sorry.
-You should leave.
-You're right.
No, no, no, I mean
you should go.
Just move on and
forget this happened.
I'm not going anywhere until
I find out who did this to us.
'Us'?
Dan, there is no 'us'.
(FLOORBOARDS CREAK)
