This IS lot 23A.
Oh. Uh Are you the owner?
No, I'm the tenant.
Well, that surprises me because
I'M the tenant.
(WAVE CRASHES)
That's my booking receipt.
Are you sure
you've got the right week?
Yes, this is the week
I don't have my kids.
Can I just check the spelling
of the real-estate agent?
J-O-N-E-S.
Jones. That's it.
Um Ah, here we are.
The 2nd to the 9th.
No, I'M the 2nd to the 9th.

- How have they done that?
- No, that's my phone.
- I'm sorry.
(PHONE LINE RINGS)
- Oh, you need to hang up.
- Well, I can talk to them. That's
OK, can I have MY phone?
I'll give them a buzz too.
Well, I don't think
we BOTH need to talk to them.
- I'd like to speak to them directly.
- It's voicemail.
Jones Ocean Properties. We'll return
your call as soon as possible.
Hi. This is Marion Fielding.
I'm staying at Lot 23A.
And I'm Eddy Marshall
and I'm also staying
OK.
And I'm with Eddy
Marshall.
..Marshall, who seems to think
Not thinking.
Look, there's been a double booking.
Could you please call me back
on this number?
Or my number, 0402
My son's coming on Sunday.
From interstate.
He's flying in, so
I've set up his bedroom.
Well, I'm doing
Do you know Cadel Evans?
- The cyclist?
- The cyclist.
He's got a Great Ocean Road race.
It's 115 kays,
and, uh I'm doing it,
and this is my base.
(PHONE RINGS)
Hello?
Yes, right.
Uh-huh.
Could we at least
pop that on speaker? I mean
The thing is
it's completely unacceptable.
I don't understand
how this could have
OK.
Yep. Fine.
(SIGHS HEAVILY)
They're going to get you
into the caravan park.
What?
OK, there are several things wrong
with that statement.
Me, caravan park.
I mean, this is why it would've been
really good
to have that on speakerphone.
And why do I
have to stay in a caravan park?
Well, I'm already here. I'm set up.
It's not first in best dressed.
Obviously it has to be.
No, no, no, no. Hang on.
So When did you book?
- I'm not going to compare when I
- No, here we
Oh, Jones - here we are. I remember.
Uh
29th. I booked on the 29th. You?
(SCOFFS)
The 29th.
Well, I booked at 4:15PM.
Ohh (CHUCKLES SOFTLY)
3:45.
Jesus.
Well, 30 minutes hardly counts.
YOU wanted to do it!
Maybe you should wait in your car.
- (PHONE RINGS)
- Speaker!
I think it's reasonable
given the circumstances.
Hello?
Hi, Marion.
It's Janelle from Jones again
Hi, Janelle. You've got
the both of us. This is Eddy.
Oh, Eddy, I am so sorry
about all of this.
Well, thank you, Janelle,
but let me be clear with you -
I will not be staying
in a caravan park.
Yeah.
Unfortunately, you won't be.
The caravan park is full tonight,
but they have a large booking
leaving tomorrow
and they will have
a Jumbuck Cruiser available.
- A what?
- Apparently they're really nice.
And we would foot the bill.
Obviously.
Yeah, let me Let me stop you
right there, Janelle,
because there is
absolutely NO circumstance
where I will be staying
- in a Jumbuck Cruiser.
- What do you mean it's full?
What about tonight?
Where's he supposed to stay tonight?
Well, it IS a three-bedroom house.
- I beg your pardon?
- I'm sorry?

(FOOTSTEPS APPROACH)
Morning!
This is from my car.
Might help with the, um drop-outs.
Oh. No, the
You know, it doesn't bother me.
All good.
(GROANS SOFTLY)
(ROCK MUSIC PLAYS)
Yow!
('ARE YOU GONNA BE MY GIRL' BY JE
PLAYS)
You good if I cook a bit of bacon?
What have you got going on there?
Ice-cream.
Why are you dressed like that?
I'm riding to the real-estate agent.
You're making that from scratch?
Yeah. Why are you riding
to the real-estate agent?
Primarily to check
that they're an actual business
and to tell them
I WON'T be staying in a caravan
and they need
to find me another place.
They're about 20 kays away.
Wouldn't it be quicker to drive?
Well, I need to be training,
and I'm probably going to lose
most of the day to house hunting.
Right.
It's just she said, you know,
there was nothing available.
I wish my ex-wife
could have seen that.
- What?
- Exactly.
You putting my glass
in the dishwasher.
It was this ridiculous fight
that we used to have.
If If I left a glass out,
she'd get all huffy and say,
"When do you expect
the dirty-dish fairy to arrive?"
Like I was seven.
You know, if you want me
to put something away, just ask,
but she would go off her head
and say,
"I shouldn't have to ask,
you should just do it."
You know, I'm not a mind reader.
Do you want any bacon?
No.
Maybe she felt
that you expected her to do it.
- Well, I didn't.
- But she thought you did.
Well, then that
was totally in her imagination.
So, how is it supposed
to get in the dishwasher?
Just because you put something down
doesn't mean that's the end of it.
There are a myriad of possibilities
of what could happen next
that don't necessarily involve her.
Are there?
Are you a lawyer?
English teacher.
Look
..I did stuff around the house.
Always.
Always happy to do my share
whenever she'd ask.
But why did she have to ask you?
I already told you -
I'm not a mind reader.
But you had this fight all the time,
so why did you keep doing it?
No, it wasn't about
me continually doing it.
It was about her overreacting
to something really quite small.
We're talking about a glass.
She would end up screaming.
Because you made it HER job
to clean up after you.
- I didn't make it her job.
- She's not your mother.
I know she's not
I actually resent that implication,
that I'm somehow a a mummy's boy.
- Do you ask your kids?
- What?
To put their things
in the dishwasher.
Yeah, of course - they're kids.
Ooh, interesting.
Oh, my God!
Very clever.
Did you ask HER to put her glass
in the dishwasher?
- No.
- Why not?
Because she just did it.
Wow!
Without anyone having to ask her.
Because that's her thing.
She's a control freak.
(UNDER BREATH) Fucking gaslighter.
What?
Wha Sorry, what, uh
What did What did you say?
I said you are a gaslighter.
I am not!
What does that even mean, anyway?
It's one of those trendy terms
that everyone starts using
all of a sudden.
It means you make someone think
they're imagining things.
You made her think she was imagining
that she was supposed
to clean up your glass.
- I did not. I was just
- You made her think she was crazy
because she brought the glass up
all the time, she was 'overreacting'.
- Well, that's because she
- You made her think
that it was all her fault,
that it was actually her heart's
desire to clean up all the glasses
because she's a control freak.
Oh, that's gaslighting. Any clearer?
Do you do this kind of mind-fuck
on all your relationships?
Is that why you're here alone?
Shithead textbook toxic masculinity.
I booked 30 minutes before you,
you fucker!
Your poor fuckin' ex-wife.
Boy, did she dodge a bullet.
(GROANS SOFTLY)
Mind-fuck, my arse!
Just because you're
too fricking stupid to keep up.
(PUFFS)
All my relationships.
You fucking arsehole.
Actually, my husband died.
I mean, he didn't,
but you don't know that.

What What happened?!
Oh, um Just a bit
of a hamstring niggle, that's all.
- We found him up the hill.
- The really steep hill.
It's rated a nine.
Right.
On the way back from the agent?
Unfortunately not. Um
It's all good,
I'll just hop in the car.
MAN: (OVER RADIO) Paddy,
we've got a scrub fire reported
off Bushy Park Lane.
Can you attend?
Can we leave him with you?
(STAMMERS)
I'll be fine. I'll be
I'll be fine.
Hey, easy!
That's worth a lot of money.
And, uh
..thank you!
Appreciate picking me up. Thank you.
(ENGINE STARTS)
Can you drive?
Absolutely.
Yes. I'll I'll just grab the
Actually
..is there an ice pack
in that freezer?
Did you? On a board?
(SIGHS)
And And were the waves big?
Wow! That's great, honey.
I want pictures of that, yeah?
(CHUCKLES SOFTLY)
Hey, is Dylan there?
No, no, don't get him out.
Just tell him he can
he can call me later on.
OK. I I love you, sweetheart.
And pictures, yeah?
Remember the pictures.
OK. Alright, mwah.
Mwah, mwah, mwah. Mwah.
Um Will frozen peas do?
Thank you.
Ohh
(SIGHS)
Actually
..would you mind
if I stay another night?
Sure.
(SCREAMS SOUNDLESSLY)
(WAVE LAPS)
Ohh!
(SIGHS)
(SOFT THUDDING)
Ooh!
(GROANS)
Ohh!
(GROANS)
Sorry.
I, uh
..thought I better
refreeze your peas.
Oh, I'm not going to use them.
Oh.
Well, also I, um
I wanted to apologise for, um
..implying
that you're here all alone
..because you've had multiple
failed relationships.
Yeah, I I remember what you said.
Also, um while we're talking
..I kind of get the, um
..analogy between
the kids and the dishwasher
and me and the dishwasher.
Is that right? 'Analogy'?
You're the English teacher.
I'm I'm pretty confident it is.
The point is
..that was a pretty good point.
And I now feel very in the loop
re gaslighting.
I'm really sorry, Marion.
Thank you, Eddy. I appreciate that.
Wow!
That's a lot of ice-cream.
I'm making neapolitan.
You know, it's the chocolate,
strawberry, vanilla.
Yeah, it used to come
in the big tub and
BOTH: No-one ate the strawberry.
Except Josh, my son.
He loved all three.
It's his favourite,
so I'm making it as a special treat.
Lucky boy.
Mm.
- Where's he coming from?
- Canberra. He's at ANU.
Where are your kids?
Hawaii.
Oh.
It's their mum's turn
for the holidays.
Oh.
This and all the cycling gear
I bought last Thursday
was meant to be my distraction.
- I know.
- (CHUCKLES SOFTLY)
Pathetic.
Well, uh
Goodnight.
Goodnight.

How's the drive?!

(QUIETLY) That's a USB cable.
Sorry, I need my lead.
I just I need my
(GROANS)
(STAMMERS) What do you mean?
What are you saying?
Right, so so are you in Darwin now?
Uh-huh.
No! No, I get it.
I get it. Of course!
It's not like I couldn't do
with the chill-out time on my own.
Yeah. Absolutely.
You have the best time.
Actually, you know, I was just
about to head out for a walk,
so we'll catch up later, OK?
Yep, love you too.
Was that your son?
He's not coming?
Why?
Doesn't matter.
Did you say he was in Darwin?
Yeah, well, he and his girlfriend
got tickets to a music festival,
and, um they wanted to go
but they couldn't get tickets,
and then somehow
she managed to get tickets, so
You know, I totally understand.
It's the opportunity of a lifetime.
Right.
And where does that leave you?
Here!
Jeez. Sorry.
Oh, look,
I don't want him to miss out.
- It's a bit shit, though.
- Oh, it's fine.
Yeah, but you made
all that lovely ice-cream and
You stay.
- Eh?
- You stay and I'll go.
- What?
- Have the hamper.
- I haven't touched it.
- No. No, no, I
No, really.
The whole point of me being here
was to spend time with Josh,
so, you should stay.
- What about your chill-out time?
- What?
On the phone you said
you could use the chill-out time.
Ah. Well
I can chill out at home.
What, so you're going right now?
- Yep.
- (GLASS BREAKS)
O OK.
Um Should you be
- (GLASS BREAKS)
- Uh
I I don't want to get
all mansplainy,
but that road is very windy
and can be tricky
even when you're feeling calm.
- I'm feeling very calm.
- OK.
So, um
Should I make you a cup of tea?
(SCOFFS) I don't want a cup of tea.
I just I don't think you
should be driving when you're upset.
I'm not upset.
I feel like I shouldn't
have mentioned the ice-cream.
What are you talking about?
I I I mentioned the ice-cream
and you've started packing up.
- It has nothing to do with that.
- Really?
'Cause I feel
like it made you very angry.
Oh, my God! You don't spot
your wife's anger in 10 years
but suddenly
you're an expert on mine.
No, no, no. I I do not
want to do the imagining thing.
I just feel like as soon
as I touched on the ice-cream
I don't give a SHI
about the ice-cream!
(GLASS BREAKS)
(DOG BARKS)
MAN: What the
(YELLS) Who the fuck
is throwing ice-cream at my dog?!
(SHAKILY) I'm so sorry.
I
- I
- My mistake, mate! (GRUNTS)
I was, um I was trying to
scoop out the ice-cream and, um
..it it was rock-solid and, uh
..and, stupidly,
I had it on the ledge here
and it just flew down to you.
Which is a shame
because my friend here
spent a lot of time making it.
- Well
- (DOG BARKS)
..tell her my dog loved it!
Will do!
His dog loved it.
You, uh should have thrown off
the strawberry.
I'm so sorry.
You know what?
I AM going to make you
that cup of tea.
(WAVES CRASH)
(BIRDS SQUAWK)
(SIGHS HEAVILY)
Oh!
OK.
That spilt
more than I would have hoped.
Thank you.
I don't normally throw things.
- It's really OK.
- It's not. I'm very embarrassed.
Why didn't you just
tell your son you were pissed off?
Because I wasn't that angry.
I mean, I was disappointed,
but I knew I could deal with it.
But you couldn't.
No, because you kept pestering me.
Normally I would
just process that on my own.
That doesn't mean you're not angry,
that just means you're silent.
OK. No.
Well, now you're confusing me.
Welcome to my world.
(CHUCKLES)
A music festival. Pfft.
I would have let him have it
with both barrels.
Yeah, well, I'm not as good
at confrontation as you are.
(SCOFFS)
Are you kidding me right now?
You have been nothing
but confronting since I got here.
You're different - I don't know you.
What, so the more you know someone
the less likely
you are to say how you feel?
OK, well, when you say it like that,
I sound pathetic.
No, you sound timid,
which you're not.
(SCOFFS)
You don't know me.
This - this is not who I am.
Well, of course it is.
I've argued more with you
in two days
than I did with my husband
in 15 years.
(LAUGHS)
What, you didn't fight?
Not really.
How is that possible?
I don't know. I think
I think every time I got upset
I went into a different room.
Why?
So I could scream into a pillow.
Huh?
I I just
I just didn't know how to
Women Women aren't
meant to get hysterical.
It's the first thing you told me
about your ex-wife,
- that she overreacted.
- OK, OK.
I think we've established
that I might have been wrong,
so can we just get back to the
you-screaming-into-the-pillow bit?
No.
No, seriously, tell me
what what would you scream?
I don't know.
We split up 10 years ago.
- OK, well, what about now?
- I'm not angry now.
- No, I mean, with your son.
- I don't know.
No, come on. If I hadn't have come
back in and grabbed my lead
- Oh, my God!
- ..what would have you said to him
- when you hung up?
- I don't know
"You're a little cunt!"
(BOTH LAUGH)
(WAVES CRASH)
(SPEAKS INAUDIBLY)
(PUFFS)
How was the little cunt?
Sorry.
Not as funny when I say it.
(CHUCKLES)
(SIGHS)
Thank you.
What for?
I don't know really, but I just
told my son how I actually felt,
which, you know,
historically is not what I do.
- Except with me.
- (CHUCKLES)
What did he say?
He was very apologetic.
Yeah, he said he'd fly down tomorrow.
Oh! OK.
Well, at least
you've still got two flavours left.
Unless, of course,
you throw the vanilla off tonight.
He's not coming.
Really?
I told him
that I'd made other plans.
