Five Bedrooms (2019) s02e04 Episode Script

Previously on Five Bedrooms
- Arggh!
- Benny! Talk to me.
What'd you hit? Your shoulder?
Unfortunately, looks like you're
gonna have to have surgery.
Probably a full reconstruction.
You alright?
I'm not sure how much
of the anger I'm feeling
belongs to Ben for
this current fuck-up
and how much of
it really is about
the last three
decades of my life.
- Better call Joe.
- Sorry? Who's Joe?
Elizabeth Wendell. Hello.
Hello.
He was just so
funny and
handsome and, uh, humble,
and he loved Mum, and have
I mentioned he was handsome?
HARRY: As a child, I
was obsessed with Diwali
the celebrations,
the food, the wishes.
(PEOPLE CHANT IN HINDI)
But somewhere in my
20s, dread crept in.
The lights of Diwali
began to feel like
a spotlight on all
my shortcomings.
For my Harpreet,
I wish true love,
family, fertility,
a nice wife,
good cook of both traditional
and modern cuisine.
My mum paid zero attention
to the sacred rule
of Diwali wishes being silent
which is perhaps why her
wishes really hadn't come true.
- (PHONE CHIMES)
- (HARRY SIGHS)
God!
How many messages so far?
Just a lazy seven.
(CLEARS THROAT)
That's very restrained for Mum,
considering it's
Diwali tomorrow.
Diwali?
I feel like I should
know what that is.
No, I mean, it is just the
most important day of the year.
That's fine.
It's the, um the
Festival of Lights,
the the triumph
of good over evil.
Like, does this
have implications
for your mother's outfits?
(LAUGHS) Yeah.
Diwali is Mum on speed. (LAUGHS)
She plans her outfits,
like, months in advance.
Oh, my God.
But it's, um
it's super religious and
and kind of intimate,
so it's, um sort of
immediate family only.
- Sorry.
- No, of course. Sure.
It's just, there are
all these rituals, and,
and my uncle completely takes
over, and and he's, um
He doesn't know?
Well, I was actually gonna say
he's kind of terrifying, but
no, he doesn't know.
Sorry.
I splurged on the very expensive
laddus for the invitations.
Since when do we do invitations?
We are going to have some
very special guests this year.
- Mum, really?
- Mmm!
At first, I thought
of just Ainsley,
because she's bringing
life to the world.
And then I thought of
Elizabeth, completely alone.
So I decided to invite all
your housemates and Martin.
- Marty?
- And also
- Mum!
- Mm-hm.
You must give him one of
your sherwanis to wear.
He'll look so handsome!
And you've, uh you've told
Akshay Mama about Xavier, then?
I've told him he's coming, yes.
You've told him
he's my boyfriend?
No, no, Harpreet. Everyone
will be there just as friends.
- Morning.
- Morning.
- Uh, where's Ben?
- Benny!
Uh, bit of a slow
crawl this morning.
Maybe 'cause he
supplemented his oxy
with a full sixpack last night.
How are you feeling about
that choice now, Ben?
Pretty good.
Yeah? That part of the
post-op recovery plan, was it?
Get shit-faced on oxy?
Yeah.
I'll just keep it quick.
Uh, basically, it's
Diwali tomorrow,
and, in a bit of
a historic first,
Mum has invited you all to
her house for the festivities.
Oh, my God! She's been talking
about Diwali for weeks!
- 'Deepavali'.
- AINSLEY: Sorry?
Also known as 'Deepavali' in
Hindu circles. Just a fun fact.
Um, also, um, I must stress
that it's a huge honour
for us to be invited.
Um, I myself have only been
once before, a few years ago.
Why only once?
Let's say it's just
best not to sing
along with the chants.
Uh, also, there's no
alcohol, uh, no meat
- No meat?
- No.
Um, and also,
don't wear pure white.
- It's the colour of mourning.
- The colour of mourning. Yep.
And also.
Xavier's gonna be there.
- Oh, my God. Really?
- Yes.
But my uncle and his family, um
they don't actually
know that I'm
- Banging him?
- (LAUGHS) Yeah.
Uh, so if we could just,
uh, all be inconspicuous
about the
- The banging.
- Yeah.
And the uh, kissing
and all of the gay.
Xavier's just a friend.
OK. (SIGHS) Hey, Ben.
- Hm.
- Move your arse.
- Where to? Where you going?
- Physio! (CLOSES DOOR)
- (KNOCK AT DOOR)
- Yeah.
- LIZ: It's me.
- Oh, come in.
Look, I I appreciate
you're you're being brave.
But I encourage you to be
honest in this safe space.
I'm OK.
Is Xavier OK with this?
Oh, well, I haven't invited him
yet. But but he'll be fine.
Will Manju ever tell the family?
Well, yeah. I think she's just
seeing it as a 2-step process.
First we introduce Xavier, and
then once everyone loves him,
we go the reveal.
Is that the truth or is
that a delaying tactic?
(LIFT BELL DINGS)
(SIGHS)
OK. OK.
Sorry. Ben dropped a weight
on his foot at physio.
It took half an hour
to find an icepack.
Then we hit school traffic.
Yes, uh, Pat wanted a word.
Under normal
circumstances, Heath,
we'd chitchat, I'd
sing your praises.
We've known each other too
long for that. What's going on?
- Nothing.
- Really?
'Cause apparently your
work ethic's gone to shit,
you're late all the time and
you're snapping at staff.
Who said that?
Wednesday, you didn't
rock up until 9:45am.
This morning, it
was almost 10:30.
Yeah, look, at the moment,
for all practical purposes,
I have a dependant, and as
for the snapping, well
One staff member claims you've
been calling them 'Ankles'
in front of the patients.
Yeah. Julian.
And apparently you
told said patient
that 'Ankles' means 'three
feet below an arsehole'.
Yeah, well, that's just poetry.
As nurse unit manager, I'm
giving you an official warning.
Are you serious?
It hurts me as much
as it hurts you.
I think you'll find
it hurts me more.
Don't make me go to
a second warning.
What happened?
It's utter bullshit.
It's discrimination.
How is it dis
Oh, you want to have a crack?
May maybe it's just a sign
that you could let a little
more help in, with Ben.
You offering?
I-I would happily take on more.
- OK. Do you want to change his dressings?
- Well
Check his position every half-hour in
the night? Take him to his follow-ups?
I could certainly
cover a taxi or two.
It's not just the transport.
Someone needs to be with him.
'Cause he's
he's just not
He he's not what?
(SIGHS)
(DOOR OPENS)
JOSEPH: Have I spoken to Ben?
Um, yeah, we've had a
bit of back-and-forth.
Right. And how did
he seem to you?
Well, his his
first message was, um
uh what is it?
Uh"Post-op. Still here.
"Not getting rid of me
that easy, cock muppet."
OK. Well, um, yeah,
he is still here.
That much is true. But, um
he's not
doing his exercises, he's
drinking way too much,
Heather and he are really struggling,
and we're getting worried.
Clearly, he doesn't feel that
comfortable opening up to us,
but I thought maybe you could give
him a call and see how he really is.
He won't tell me.
Well, can you ask?
That's not really
how we communicate.
So you're happy to drop
50 grand on an operation,
which is incredibly
generous, by the way,
but you can't pick up the
phone and say, "Are you OK?"
You obviously don't have any
brothers or sisters. (LAUGHS)
That's
that's personal information.
Oh, right, so, you're able
to call me and ask about
my brother's physical
and psychological health,
and I can't even ask you
whether you have a
brother or sister or not?
- Well, I won't call again.
- Alright.
Alright.
- Well, goodbye.
- Well, goodbye, Joseph.
You appear to still
be on the line.
Yeah, because I'm on AirPods.
My phone sits with
Bethany, so I I don't
You can't even end a call
without your assistant?
OK, for future reference, I
wouldn't admit that to anyone.
And then we make the wishes?
After the prayers, yes.
And as a pregnant woman,
you must consider your
wishes very, very carefully.
I really just want my
baby to be healthy.
No, no, no, no.
Be very specific.
When I was pregnant, I wanted
a boy who'd be a doctor.
I did not realise that I had to
specify his sexual orientation.
- (DOOR OPENS)
- You look lovely.
So nice, cute.
This is unexpected and strange.
- Doesn't she look beautiful?
- Mmm.
I thought you didn't
look favourably
on white women in saris.
Ainsley is blessing
this world with a baby.
Uh, Mum, could I have a word?
Yeah.
- Sorry, Ains.
- That's OK.
(SIGHS)
Just about Xavier.
I don't think I can have
him here as just a friend.
I thought it would
be nice for him.
But alright. We do have so
many other guests coming.
No, I want him here,
but as my partner.
I want to tell Akshay Mama.
No, no, no, no, no, no.
- No. No way. Huh!
- (SIGHS)
Mum, I.
I think I might be in love,
kind of for the first time,
and I don't want to have
to wait years and years
for my family to know.
I just want to tell them now.
You don't have to wait
years and years, Harpreet.
Akshay Mama gets
very little exercise.
I think four years at most.
I don't want to lie
for another four years!
Lying is what you have
to do with Akshay Mama.
He really respects me, Mum.
I'm I'm the only
boy in the family.
- I'm a doctor.
- His judgement will fall on me.
He will think I'm the lonely
widow who cannot raise a son.
I really think he'll be fine.
HARRY: There was only
about a 2% chance.
Akshay Mama would be fine.
But when you're high on love,
you always think the odds
are tilting your way.
(RINGS DOORBELL)
- Harpreet!
- Namaste, Mama.
(SPEAKS INDISTINCTLY)
Huh? Where is your mother?
- Uh, no. It's just me.
- Oh, my boy!
Your mother didn't tell
us you were coming.
Where is she? Is she alright?
Yes. Yeah.
I, um I just wanted
to see you because
I have some news.
Have you bought
another property?
No. (LAUGHS)
It's actually, um
I've met someone very special
and I'm bringing them to Diwali.
Oh! Your mother didn't tell us.
Is she not Indian?
Uh.
No, he's not.
His name's Xavier.
I think his parents are
actually from New Zealand.
It's been a couple of months
now, and I'm I'm very happy.
- Your mother knows this?
- Yes.
In fact, she introduced us.
She loves Xavier.
It was a shock for her at first.
And she's, uh she's quite
anxious about your reaction,
as am I.
But he's he's
really wonderful, and.
I I want him to meet
the people who matter most,
and and that's you.
- Akshay.
- Hm?
Thank you,
for having the
courage to tell us.
"Thank you"? That's a win. That
is an empirically good reaction.
Well, um, not necessarily,
but, at the end,
I did say, "See you tomorrow,"
and my uncle smiled.
That is huge!
I mean, he still might not go.
And even if he does,
it'll probably be
pretty painful, but I
Harry, you you you
need to take a moment.
OK, you, Harry Sethi,
are in the middle
of a real-life
love-conquers-all moment
right on the brink of Deepavali.
And you need to go and have some
very athletic Kama Sutra sex.
Well, I'm at his work, so
Find a way. Do it for Australia.
Do it for India and Australia.
(LAUGHS)
(INDISTINCT CHATTER)
(WHISPERS)
- Cheers, mate.
- Hey.
Uh hi.
I thought you had
family stuff tonight.
Yeah. Uh do
do you have a sec?
Um we're a bit
under the pump,
but if you grab a seat,
I'll come find you.
- OK. Yes.
- Just give me a couple of secs.
Sure.
HARRY: I told myself, "Don't
spiral. Don't overreact."
"That was not what
it looked like."
"That was just two
very attractive men"
"navigating a small space."
Hey. What's up?
Um.
You remember how I
told you about Diwali?
Oh, yeah. It's all I've
been thinking about since.
(LAUGHS) Well, um
you are now invited.
Welcome to the inner sanctum.
Really?
Wow!
(SNIFFS) Oh, my God! These
these actually smell like Manju!
That's great.
So am I there as a
mysterious friend or
Boyfriend.
They all know.
Wow. OK.
Is this as big as I think it is?
Yeah, possibly bigger.
Well, I am honoured,
and humbled.
Hey. Just about before
Xav? Drowning over here.
Uh, yeah, mate. Just a tick.
Sorry. I'll I'll
be a couple of hours.
Yeah, sure. I'll, um
I'll wait for you at yours.
- Yeah?
- OK.
Thank you. (KISSES)
Oop!
Don't forget these.
COLIN: Well, I don't know.
I think it's just, uh
(SPEAKS INDISTINCTLY)
(BOTH LAUGH)
G'day, love.
What is this?
Well, it's lovely
to see you too.
What are you doing here?
Col's just giving me
some recovery advice
and telling me about
his old war wounds.
- From when I did my back.
- Yeah, this is not like that.
Well, you were a bit
dismissive of my pain, Heather.
You're just on your
third beer, then?
A man's gotta have something to
get him through the pain, love.
(LAUGHS)
Colin. A word?
What the fuck are
you doing here?
- I heard about work.
- What?
Well, your colleagues are
like family to me, Heather,
and we feel a duty of care.
I see. And what have
my colleagues divulged?
- You're falling apart.
- No, clearly, I'm intact.
- You're at sea.
- Very much on dry land.
Don't get defensive.
Ben's recovery has
been a slow crawl,
but he's getting
there, and I'm fine.
- It's bigger than that, Heather.
- Bigger than what?
Well, I think it's
important for the process
that you can
articulate it yourself.
What the hell are
you talking about?
I think it's clear now that you
left home to spread your wings,
but you've ended
up in a cage.
(SIGHS)
Time to go, Col.
See ya.
Hey.
(DOOR OPENS)
- Hey.
- (CLEARS THROAT)
(SIGHS)
Sorry about that.
What a shit-show.
Absolutely slammed.
And then Mike has to go
and cut his bloody hand.
Mmm. Uh, I saved some
takeaway for you, if you like.
Oh. Thank you.
(SIGHS) God.
Hey, about, um about
before with Charlie.
Is Charlie the
intimidatingly hot barman?
Yeah, I'm sorry about that.
He, uh he's a massive flirt.
There's a bit of history
there, but nothing much now.
'Nothing much'?
Yeah.
This might not be the best
time to have this conversation.
Well is there a conversation?
Well, usually, yeah.
About other guys and stuff.
(SIGHS)
Sorry, are you talking
about open relationships?
Well
is.
Is that what you
normally do?
(SIGHS)
I mean, it's it's different
every time, you know.
I've had one relationship that
was completely open and a.
(LAUGHS) a free-for-all.
It's not for everyone.
And then I've had a couple
which were more of a
if-your-partner's-away-type
situation.
And then, of course, there's
the if we're in agreement,
we, uh, invite a third party.
Or a fourth.
I'm freaking you out, aren't I?
No. No. Not really. I just
(SIGHS)
Have you ever just had a
a relationship that
was just one-on-one?
Yeah. Of course.
But I think that that's
maybe why it didn't work out.
- (SIZZLING)
- Morning!
Morning.
No, no, no, no, no.
It's Diwali. No meat.
That's tonight.
The rules apply
all day, Heather.
God, you spend
one day with Manju
and now you're a bloody
cultural attaché.
Well, you you spent
the day with Manju?
- She offered to lend me a sari.
- You should eat. We gotta leave.
She says it's unholy for white
women to wear saris at Diwali.
- Oh, nowyou do your stretches.
- Yeah.
10 minutes before
your follow-up?
You reckon that's gonna
make a difference?
- Feeling pretty limber, yeah.
- (DOORBELL RINGS)
I'll get it. You eat.
OK, Manju's just reminded us
to wear bright colours tonight.
- She's messaging you now?
- We have a WhatsApp thread.
- Or two.
- (DOOR OPENS)
HEATHER: Joseph!
JOSEPH: Heather!
Hi. How are you?
Joe?
(GROANS)
BEN: Joe?
What are you doing here, mate?
- Did you miss me?
- JOSEPH: Yeah. Like the clap.
BEN: Yeah, you still
got that? Still itching?
JOSEPH: That's crabs, dickhead.
Oh, yeah, of course. Yeah, we
met briefly, Ainsley, yeah.
- Liz!
- Joseph.
What brings you here?
Well, I had a
unexpected window open
up, work-wise, and
well, I knew that Ben's
surgical follow-up was today,
so, uh
I see.
Yeah.
So, no other factors?
No additional prompting?
Hmm. Um
No. None that I can think of.
Mate, it's great to see
ya, but I am capable
of going to the
surgeon on my own.
- Oh, that's a lie.
- Well, I can't drive.
- But I can call an Uber.
- Your account's suspended.
Well, I (SIGHS) ..I can
get a bloody cab, then.
- Can you? Where to?
- The hospital.
It's at her consulting
rooms in Richmond.
The address is on there.
There's also a record of
the medication he's on.
- She's gonna ask him about the pain. He's gonna lie.
- BEN: I won't.
She's gonna ask him if he can
lift his arm over his shoulder.
- He can't.
- I can!
- Go on, then.
- I can lift my arm.
I just don't want to now.
Just if you could get him
there and get him home
and remember what she says.
- Really appreciate this.
- JOSEPH: No problem.
OK. I've gotta head off to work.
Um, do me a favour.
Change your shirt.
(LAUGHS)
(SIGHS)
(DOOR OPENS)
(DOOR CLOSES)
Yeah, they did seem a bit tense.
I mean, functional, but
tense.
OK, that's not functional.
That that's a woman
running a grown man's life.
And and you said he's
been writing himself off?
(WHISPERS) Never say
anything in this house
you're not happy for all
members of the dwelling to hear.
Trust me.
OK.
Might be best if we relocate
this conversation offsite.
- OK. Um, right now?
- Well, at some point.
So, um
tonight?
Well, I'd have to
check my calendar.
(WHISPERS) Liz! (CLEARS THROAT)
It's Diwali.
Um, it seems I am
I'm actually scheduled to
celebrate Diwali tonight.
We all are.
- It's the Indian Festival of
- Of Lights, yeah. Yeah.
- Happy Deepavali. (LAUGHS)
- (LAUGHS)
Oh, I spent some time in India.
BEN: You alright?
(DOOR OPENS)
And also with you.
(DOOR CLOSES)
Happy Diwali, Mum.
They are not coming.
- What?
- Akshay rang.
And they refuse to
celebrate Diwali with us.
- Well, what did he say?
- He didn't give any excuse.
But he's convinced them
all, the whole family.
(SIGHS)
I'll go there and I'll
talk to him again.
No, Harpreet, no.
You should have not gone
there in the first place.
I knew he's traditional, but I didn't
think he would be this heartless.
Mum, I'm so sorry.
We can still do Diwali. We'll
we'll do it just the two of us.
That's no way to
bring in the new year.
We must pretend
it's any other day.
Diwali is
cancelled.
(SIGHS)
HARRY: Diwali's
cancelled. It's not on.
What?
Well, we've just had some family
drama, so we had to cancel.
I'm sorry.
Is your mum OK?
Yeah. Of course.
This doesn't have
anything to do with, uh,
the conversation we had
last night, does it?
- No. No. Not at all.
- OK.
Because, you know, what
I should have said,
if it wasn't already
clear to you, is
you know I'm I'm
really into you?
Right? And and
I'm really into us.
But, uh, you you
know, I I just.
I don't think there's any one
person that I could sleep with
for the rest of my life.
Yeah, but but it's
not personal, Harry.
(HARRY HANGS UP)
(SIGHS)
May-maybe it should just be you.
I mean, she's gonna be
in a vulnerable place,
and you you clearly
have your connection.
Uh-uh-uh.
(RINGS DOORBELL)
Manju?
(DOOR OPENS)
Ainsley!
Elizabeth!
I don't know if Harpreet
told you, but
We just heard. And we wanted
to check that you're OK.
Yes, I'm OK.
- Oh, Manju, no! Sorry.
- (SOBS)
Aww
I'm sorry. I'm sorry.
It's really difficult
to be a mature-age woman
and feel like
you have no family.
(SNIFFS)
Elizabeth, of course
you will understand.
Couldn't we still
celebrate Diwali?
A smaller version?
It would be too heartbreaking.
This house, it's full of
memories of my family.
Could we have it at our house?
Don't be ridiculous, Elizabeth.
No, we'd manage.
Manju, the way that
you talk about Diwali
my family never celebrated
big events, or any events.
It would mean so much.
It would, and to Harry
too. I mean, to all of us.
Well,
for you, obviously, Elizabeth,
you must pick happiness
where you can find it.
I'd just be going
through the motions.
That's OK.
Oh, maybe a bit higher.
Whoops.
Good. Let's brighten it
up a little bit with this.
- OK.
- Yep.
- (SIZZLING)
- Oh!
Too high. Too high.
(PHONE RINGS)
Oh! Martin!
Martin! Forgive me.
I forgot to mention
that we moved Diwali
to Harpreet's place.
- Have you arrived?
- (SCRAPES)
I'm sorry.
Who's there?
HARRY: As soon as I
stepped through the gate,
it was clear what
I was walking into.
A loving, strangely
relocated celebration
thrown together
by my housemates.
But after everything
with Xavier,
I barely had the
energy to facethem
let alone my whole
extended family.
(GASPS) Happy Diwali!
- MARTY: Oh, hi.
- LIZ: Surprise Diwali.
Hey!
Mami? Malvika? What
are you doing here?
Oh, you've always been such a
good boy, Harpreet. We love you.
How could we not be here?
MANJU: They are teaching
my brother a lesson.
- Thank you.
- Oh!
Is, um is Ben far off?
Oh, he's coming. He's
he's been at the surgeon's.
- But he'll get here.
- (DOOR CLOSES)
- Ooh! Look at you!
- HARRY: Simmo!
- MAMI: Look at you!
- Oh, yeah.
I went the suit
rental in the end.
Might have, uh, overstepped it,
but these pants fit
me like a glove.
Wonderful.
So, where's Xavier?
Yes! We want to meet
your handsome stud.
Oh, uh I told him
it was all cancelled.
- Oh, why?
- Harpreet?
This is for him too.
He should be here.
- Um, it's getting late.
- It's still light outside.
There's plenty of
time. Go get changed.
Get changed and call him.
- You OK?
- Yeah.
- Is this too much?
- Never.
Is this too much?
(SIGHS)
I might have fucked
it with Xavier.
- What?!
- (SIGHS)
We had a chat last night
and it turns out he's, um
not big on monogamy.
And by 'not big', I
mean not into it at all.
- Oh, fuck.
- Yeah.
We tried to talk
about it today and, um
I wouldn't say I hung
up on him, but I, um
(SIGHS)
I hung up on him.
I just feel like I've
blown up my family
for a relationship I'm never
gonna be able to make work,
and and,
and now they're all out there
and desperate to meet him.
It's fine. No. We'll tell them
that he's made other plans.
Don't worry about that.
This isn't for
Xavier. It's for you.
And now everybody
bow their heads
and make a silent Divali wish.
HARRY: I'm pretty
sure I could tell you
what my housemates
were wishing for.
For Ains, it was
obviously baby-related.
Heather was too jaded to wish.
She was just
enjoying the silence.
Liz would have been making
the same wish she'd made
for the past two decades
to increase her success
and maintain her jawline.
Marty was too distracted
by his leg cramps
to wish for anything.
But for the first
time in my life,
I had no idea what to wish for.
I just wanted the night to end.
(KNOCK AT DOOR)
Sorry, Manju. It's probably Ben.
- (DOOR OPENS)
- HEATHER: Xav!
Come in.
- MANJU: Xavier?
- MALVIKA: Hey! Xavier!
- (LAUGHTER)
- Hi, Xavier!
Uh s-sorry. Um
Harpreet said you had to work!
No, I just came
to talk to Harry.
There was a change of plans.
They decided to surprise me.
- Hi, Xavier!
- Oh, hello.
Oh, God!
Of course! Come, let's
find you a sherwani.
Oh, Mum, the
ceremony's almost over.
Oh, but the night is young!
- This is a Diwali miracle!
- Yes!
Come, come! We'll find
you a nice bright one.
You'll look so dashing!
(INDISTINCT CHATTER)
I already know you're wonderful,
'cause Manju hand-selected you.
Oh.
You must be a very
special gay man.
- I considered many options.
- What?!
I want you to know that you're
always welcome in my home.
Thank you. That's
very kind of you.
But not when my
husband is around.
- Uh, at other times. (LAUGHS)
- (LAUGHS) Right. OK.
We love you. We love Harpreet.
And we love Penny Wong.
- And I voted yes.
- She did.
Oh, thank you. (LAUGHS)
(INDISTINCT CHATTER)
Bit of heat.
I'm so sorry.
Is there any, um, particular
way you want me to behave?
Just general human normalcy.
I can't offer an example. Sorry.
- Oh, God.
- (TAPS GLASS)
I don't want to interrupt
the festivities,
but I must thank my bhabhi
and my niece for being here.
Very happy. Very happy.
And, Xavier.
For many years, I wished
to have another child.
And now
you're like a son to me.
I'm so grateful Harpreet
and you found each other.
And I'm so grateful for
the science of surrogacy.
OK. Mum
So grateful for the
options it offers.
Indian sperm in white
womb or full Indian.
- Mum!
- I love both of you.
I love both of you very much.
And this is the best Diwali.
Best Diwali!
(CHEERING AND APPLAUSE)
(FESTIVE MUSIC PLAYS)
(CHEERING)
I am feeling the urge
to join them, but
don't know if it would
be inappropriate.
I've been wrong before.
Well, I I speak from
experience when I say
do not attempt any
Bollywood dance moves.
- Right.
- Just just don't do it.
WOMAN: Come on!
Ains.
I'm not very experienced
with this kind of dancing,
or any dancing with a
I'd love to.
Won't you join us?
- Here we go. Here we go.
- Yay!
- AINSLEY: Come on, Liz.
- Um um, um I'm going to
- Oh.
- Marty, get up here.
LIZ: Oh, I'm coming.
(INDISTINCT CHATTER
AND LAUGHTER)
Martin, I'm tired.
Oh! Lizzie!
- Hi.
- Hey.
Holy moly!
- (LAUGHS) How are ya?
- I'm good.
Kevin Daniel Richard
Fitzsimons! How are ya, mate?
This is Benjamin. He's
one of the housemates.
- He's heterosexual.
- SIMMO: Come on, mate.
- Grab a drink of water.
- Yep.
- Come on. Come on, eh?
- Righto.
- You right?
- Yeah, yeah, I'm OK.
You OK?
What happened?
BEN: Alright,
Simmo, I can manage.
What do you mean?
I-I've never seen him like that.
Really?
- SIMMO: Oh, fuck! Shit!
- BEN: Arggh!
You right? Hit your shoulder?
- Don't worry, mate. It's buggered anyway.
- What?!
My shoulder.
My shoulder's fucked!
- Get up, old fella.
- Come on, mate.
Well, thanks for taking him
out and getting him shit-faced.
He was always gonna
get shit-faced.
All you had to do was get him
there, get him back. That's it.
I swear to God, Heather,
I tried to stop him.
But there's no slowing him
down after a certain point.
What you saw was containment.
What the hell happened?
I mean, what did the
what did the surgeon say?
That's a question for Ben.
Well, he's passed out.
And at this point, it's probably
better that I hear it from you.
(SIGHS) Apparently
his recovery might
have plateaued.
His range of movement
might only get to 60%.
What does that
mean in real terms?
Well, it means
No more footy. And he'll
have to rethink his career.
(SIGHS)
(LAUGHS)
Do you know what
the tragic thing is?
Six beers is what it takes
for Benno and I to be
honest with each other.
(LAUGHS)
It's it's messy, but
it's good that you came.
Look, I'm gonna try and sort
things out with the office.
See if I can work remotely
for a week or two.
You know, stick
around for a bit.
Is Bethany gonna
be OK with that?
Ooh. (SIGHS)
It's a process with
Bethany, but, um
I'm pretty confident.
I liked your
dancing, by the way.
Bowls?
Oh, uh, just up there.
Oh, uh, let it burn down.
It's bad luck to blow it out.
Right.
Thank you for enduring all that.
I loved it.
I'm sorry I didn't tell
you it was back on.
I wasn't avoiding you.
Oh, well, I shouldn't have
started that conversation
the way I did.
You're kind of
well, you are
my first proper boyfriend.
So the idea of of going from
nothing to an open relationship
was kind of like
going from a crawl
to a record-breaking sprint.
I'm in love with you.
I'm in love with you.
(BOTH LAUGH)
And I am open to a
monogamous relationship
if that's what you want.
I don't want you to
have to change for me.
Same.
How often would you normally
(LAUGHS) Harry.
You don't have to you
don't have to do this.
If we could take it
slowly and (SIGHS)
If I could have at least
four freak-out passes
Harry
you don't have to do this.
No, I want to try.
I do.
I want to try it.
Next time on Five Bedrooms
Yeah, there's there's
an attraction here.
I don't know. Maybe
it's a one-way street.
There might have been some
light traffic on the other side.
AINSLEY: OK, Heather slept
in my bed last night.
I think her and Ben had a fight.
- What?!
- Did he sleep in Simmo's tent?
What the hell
happened in that room
that they both had to leave it?
Just need you in early tomorrow.
We've got an 8am
with Yvonne from HR.
- What for?
- Can't tell you.
Is it about the lateness?
I'm not saying
anything else, Liz.
The profanity? The hairclips?
Is it about the bullying?
