Can I have some help? What? I have to pee.

I wanted to see you.
And my work? Christine, this is about you and me.
Do you want me to leave? No.
Does your door have a lock on it? This is my office.
I thought you liked taking risks.
I, uh, got you the morning after pill as well.
Oh.
Might make you feel a bit nauseous.
But take it if you think you 're OK.
Hey.
Hi.
Do you mind if I take a shower? No, go ahead.
Do you wanna watch 'Gossip Girl' with me? I taped it.
Yeah, sure.

Hey, what are you building? I'm gonna build a shed up on the roof.
For Mum's ham radio.
Yeah, it's sort of like a kit shed type of thing.
The kind anyone can build.
Nice.
Not anyone.
Romeo'd probably battle with it a little bit, but - I could do it.
- Yes, you could.
Ohhhhh.
- Feels like Sunday.
- Except it's not.
You 're gonna be late for school.
I can drive them as long as I can take your car.

Ah, that's cool.
I can catch the tram.
I'll give you a lift to the tram stop, then.
Look, I've made an appointment with Agatha for you this afternoon.
What?! Why? Max, lying about your hearing, that's a really big deal.
You need to find out where that's coming from.
Oh, totally not fair.
You don't talk to us anymore.
I'm a teenager.
I'm not supposed to talk to my parents.
What about Kelly? Mum! Are you using condoms? Yes! You 're making sure that she has a she has a nice time? This is important, Max.
It's just a casual relationship.
Whether you think it's a casual relationship or not, you need to respect her.
You 're making sure that she She has to be pleasured as well.
Oh, my God.
I think you 're right, Mum.
I think I do need to see a shrink.
You may not want to talk to me about this, but this is important.
Yeah.
Mmm.
Oh, no, that's great.
Well, it's just a question of how much time I'll need to pack up here.
Sure you don't want me to take you to school? No, I'm fine.
You know Mum's gonna end up with Gabriel, don't you? I just thought you should know.
See you, Joe! See you, Gigi.

Do you believe in God? No.
Good line.
Thank you.
Yeah, see ya.
See ya.
Hey! You know Max likes her.
Yeah, I got her number.
For Max? For Max.
So what are you up to now? I've got to get to school.
I cannot be late today.
Who's gonna come play with me today? No way.
Where'd you get that from? I can't.
Can do anything you want.
Not since my dad started talking about boarding school.
Text me if you 're around later.
OK.
Mum's picking me straight up from chapel, so We'll be back by chapel.
Yeah, they'll call my parents We'll call them first.
Max, you 're going to Singapore.
It's not definite.
I don't want to give them any excuses.
Come on, let's go to the pub.
We're in school uniform.
So? We'll buy clothes.
Hi.
Ah, lunch? I found a couple of great apartments in Singapore.
Oh, I'm sorry, Tim, I can't.
Why don't I pick up Max after school and take him to that therapy session? Uh, no, no, no.
But if you 're too busy I'm busy because I cancelled a couple of appointments so I could take him to that session.
Look, if it's putting pressure on you time-wise Tim, I want to take him.
Alright.
Look, it's a beautiful day out there.
Why don't you go for a walk? Enjoy the fresh air.
Anyway, gotta go.
Talk to you later.
You on your way to work? No, I just finished.
I don't know how you work at night.
Oh, I just take uppers.
You know, pills, cocaine, if I can get it.
I draw the line at speed, though.
I know I really hurt you.
I'm sorry.
I spent the last few days trying to figure out who this whole other person I was married to was.
What I realised is part of my sadness about Vince is tied up with you.
What does that mean? Hey.
- Hey, Joe.
- Hey.
Gigi wanted me to just drop her at the tram stop.
Thank you.
Well, I should go.
Why don't you come over for dinner? We haven't done it in ages and you can bring your girlfriend if you want.
Yeah, Gigi told us all about her, mate.
Yeah, right, yeah, Sophie, yeah.
She's great, she's great.
She's got a son, doesn't she? - Yep.
- Well, he could come too.
He could hang out with the kids.
Yeah, OK.
Let's do it tonight.
Ah, I don't think I'm gonna be tired.
Don't you want her to meet us, mate? No, no, I just OK, OK, let's do it.
Thanks.
No worries.
- Heads or tails? - Ah, heads.
Tails.
I'll break.
You see I got that chick Ophelia's number? Yep.
It's not for me, douche.
It's for you.
You 're red, remember? You trying to put me off my game or? Oh, apparently I don't need to.
50 bucks says I win.
And I'm willing to share this money with you to give you the potential to win.
But I might ask you for favours later on.
Piss off.
Hey.
You OK? Yeah.
I just felt like dancing.
I think you need to get laid again.
My dancing teacher told me when I was a kid that dancing can be just as good as sex.
That's where the wrong started.
I want to have a nice day today, so if you 're gonna be a bitch, I don't want you around.
Is anyone else coming tonight apart from Gabriel? Just us and his girlfriend.
Well, that'll be weird.
Why? Because you had sex with him? There is something wrong.
No, Joe will be there.
You 're not gonna have sex with Joe, are you? What is your problem with Joe? Ally, he's trying to insinuate himself into your lives.
I like having him here.
Look, I guess I I could ask Conrad.
Whatever.
You can't live in Singapore.
I know that.
Who's that guy? Jason Wong.
His dad moved over to Singapore and he visited him in school holidays.
That was Hong Kong.
Yeah, so Singapore would be the same, except it's so seriously dead there, Max, you can't live there.
Yeah, and I can't just tell my parents I'm not going with them.
Why not? 'Cause where would I live, for a start? Well, Nat's your mum.
Come live with us.
Hmm.
Can't do that.
Yes, you can.
You 've got to be more active.
You 've got to take control of your life, Max.
Where's your phone? Get out your phone.
Why? Call your dad now.
I'm supposed to be at school.
Yeah, so tell him you 'll meet him after school.
Christine's taking me to therapy after school.
That therapy shit fucks you up.
I reckon we should go to a titty bar.
I'll shout you one more for courage.
I've gotta go.
That ball's rigged.
You can't rig a ball, Romeo.
I've gotta go.
I'm meant to be at chapel.
Fuck that shit.
Romeo.
Will you relax? Don't get so cut up! Oh! Romeo! Come on, get Get off me! You can't go to school like this.
Why not? You 'll get expelled.
Like I care about that.
- Hi.
You 've phoned Nat Manning.
- Don't feel like you have to I think we should go to a titty bar.
Oh, shit! Give me your phone.
No! Get off! Come here! Get off! Right.
I'm done with that.
What else do you want me to do? Oh! You should get that.
Hello? Yeah.
Yeah, yeah, no, I can be there in 15 minutes.
Yep.
No, no.
No, it's good you called me.
OK.
See ya.
Can I borrow your car? Yeah, sure.
Great.
Uh, anything you want me to get you while I'm out? No, I think I'm fine.
OK.
Hello.
Hi.
I'm on the bridge over to your left.
What do you want? Why are you so cold? Was it your idea to send us to Singapore? No.
I don't want you to go.
I can't do this.
Christine Just don't call me again! Hey, you 're OK, buddy.
Have to sober you up a bit.
I'm fine.
Yeah, I know you are.
But we've got to sober you up a little before we get you home.
I miss my dad.
Yeah, I know.
I know.
You don't have to walk me in.
You 're not coming in with me.
What? You 're not coming in with me.
Oh! I know that.
- Hi.
- Hi.
Uh, this is Max.
He's here to see Agatha.
Just take a seat.
Thanks.
Oh, hi.
Hi, Christine, Max.
- Hi.
- Why don't you come with me? Um I'm actually here to see Julie, as well.
I'll let her know you 're here.
Thanks.
Feels very strange to be back here again.
How are you? I'm fine.
How about you? Oh working too hard.
Um, you know, but I get a lot of self-esteem from that.
I I think I'm good at it.
Um, you know, I try and combat the stress with a lot of exercise.
And, um I don't think I've got a problem.
I mean, it's not like I lie all the time.
It's just like normal teenage stuff.
What do you consider normal teenage stuff? Uh I don't know.
Drinking? Taking drugs? No, I, um I don't lie to them about that stuff.
I just don't tell them.
My dad wants us all to go and live in Singapore.
I don't want to go.
Because of your job? Oh, sorry, sorry.
What's the thought that's making you upset? Is it the idea of not being around your friends? Yeah.
School? Uh, it's like I guess it's like just another complication, you know? Are you gonna tell Christine what I say in here? What would happen if you didn't go to Singapore? What do you mean? I want you to think it through.
I'd destroy my marriage.
Not necessarily.
He's going for two years.
Well, I could do some commuting.
I can't leave Max.
I've done something terrible.
I've become this terrible duplicitous person.
I don't think I recognise myself anymore.
Makes me feel scared.
Why does it make you feel scared? Well, I've never lived with her before.
Don't know how that would work out.
Who are you talking to? Are you talking to Dad? Why? You look upset.
Oh, I'm alright, I'm OK.
I'm OK.
So, how'd you go? Yeah, it went it went good.
Oh, yeah? Do you ever dream that someone's pinning you down and you have to wake up because you can't move? Oh, I used to when I was a kid.
A girl in my German class told me that that means a spirit's trying to have sex with you.
I don't think a spirit would have wanted to have sex with me when I was younger.
Oh, people are weird.
I guess spirits must be too.
I put it there? Yep.
And keep all the way round.
Cool.
Do you mind, uh, dropping me off at Romeo's? What for? Oh, a bit of homework we're going to do.
With Romeo?! Yeah.
Are you avoiding? No! We've got a drama assignment we're gonna do.
Alright.
OK.
Sophie? Hey, babe.
Oh, did I wake you? No, no, it's OK.
Hey, I went shopping.
Bought a dress.
Oh, good.
For tonight.
Wow.
Yeah, look You know, you don't have to get all dressed up for them.
Oh, well, I want to make a good impression.
They're your friends.
Yeah, but they're not like that.
As in you don't need to impress them.
Don't you like my dress? No, no, it's great.
It's great.
I'm sorry.
Hey, listen, maybe we should just go out by ourselves.
No! I really want to meet your friends.
And I've told Ben and he's coming here after school and OK, OK, no, you 're right.
OK.
Make a cup of tea.
Hi.
Hey, Ally.
Romeo went straight to his room.
I think Joe's helping him with some homework.
Oh.
That's cool.

Well, when did he tell you? It was a couple of days ago.
Do you care? Of course I care.
I came back from Melbourne to get to know you.
Well, then can't you tell them I'm not allowed to go? I've, uh I've lost a few fights with them over the years.
I could I could try.
What if I stayed with you instead? Why is that funny? It's not funny.
Then why are you laughing? Um, it's just me.
I'm It's something I've l've wanted for a long time.
I've got money now.
And we we could get a place together.
So I haven't missed the mother boat after all.
Wow, you look great.
Hey, Ben.
Ben.
Oh, hi.
Hey, why don't we just go out? You know, us three.
What's wrong? I just don't want Ben to get bored.

Yeah, OK.
I'll just get my keys.

Do I look alright? Uh, yeah.
You look like you.
Hmm.
- Shit, I did not.
- You did.
When? Fine, I'll check.
"Let's go to my place.
I'm up for a party.
" I sent you that text? Yeah, at, like, 4:00.
How fucked was I this afternoon? You should probably check your phone and see if you sent it to anyone else.
Oh, shit.
Who else? Um, Olivia and apparently Ophelia.
So, what's the story with Conrad? There's no story.
Hmm.
Are you interested in him because he's Conrad or because he's Conrad Doyle? Mm-hm! How old is he? Does that matter? Some girl called Olivia.
How many people has Romeo invited? I hope he's not expecting me to feed them all.
Oh, it's one of your guests.
Hello! Hi.
- Hi.
- Hi.
We made it.
Good.
Hi, I'm Nat.
Sophie.
Hi.
Hello.
God, you didn't tell me What? I'm a bit starstruck, sorry.
Oh.
Yeah, don't be.
And you must be Ally.
And this is Joe.
- Hi.
- And you must be Ben.
My son has a few friends downstairs.
You want me to take you down there? I'll take him.
Thanks.
Well Hi.
Um, I'm here to see Romeo.
Well, follow the pied piper.
Oh, we're gonna see Romeo.
Are you coming? Beautiful.
Yeah, it's lovely up here.
Um, sit anywhere you like.
Wow.
They all alright down there? Yeah, I think they're doing pretty good.
I can't believe you two were going out with each other.
Oh, why? Well, how did you meet? - Uh, a friend introduced us.
- Oh, right.
Because famous people mix in the same circles and But aren't you a bit of a cad? Why would you say that? Oh, that's just what people say.
You know, you 're good-looking, you 're rich, you could have whatever you want.
I mean, not that, you know, going out with Nat I mean, I would choose her.
I'm just saying you must be a hard man to catch.
Well, maybe maybe I haven't caught him yet.
Oh, Jesus, Gabriel, don't do that.
We love her.
Oh Oh, that looks delicious.
I'll just I'll just have a shower.
Well, it's ready now.
Oh, Tim, you don't want to be sitting with this I don't care how you smell.
Ohhh.
We need to talk.
I don't think it's really fair to talk without Max.
I want to know what you 're going to do about coming to Singapore.
What I'm going to do? That's a funny way of putting it.
I want to know how you feel.
How do you feel about commuting? I love you, Tim, but I just l I can't go to Singapore.
Right.
I'll clear the table.
No, no, you relax.
Alright.
You have to admit, these two do look a bit similar.
Don't you think? What? Well Oh, you mean the colour of our dresses.
And the colour of your hair.
Hmm.
What do you think about Sophie and Ally? Yeah, I can see the similarities, sure.
I'm gonna go check on the kids.
I have to admit I'm a bit upset you don't look more like me.
Yeah, well, they broke the mould when you were born, didn't they? Don't do it like that, Gigi.
You don't know either, Romeo.
Piss off.
Whoa! Hang on a sec.
You 're looking at the king of seance.
Just make some room.
Oh, wait, wait, who's got a phone with a camera? Oh, me.
Perfect.
What's that for? This is so we can see the orbs.
Orbs? Yeah, they're solid transparent balls.
Only you can only see them on film.
Sometimes they even take on the appearance of an actual ball.
They're a white solid light surrounding someone.
I hope it surrounds me.
I'm gonna get some candles.
You guys start imagining and thinking.
So what's going on with Joe? Nothing.
That's bullshit.
What are you talking about? Sorry.
I didn't mean to interrupt.
I just need some candles.
Candles? Yep.
Oh, here.
Oh, they're tealight candles.
Yeah.
OK, guys, wanna hold hands? Might get a little uncomfortable.
Could take a while for the spirits to join us.
How many spirits will come? Depends how many psychically gifted people we have in this room.
Oh, this is bullshit.
You don't have to believe, Romeo.
OK, who wants to ask a question? Don't we just ask if there are any spirits present? Can we ask for a specific spirit? You can ask for whatever you want.
I want to know if my dad's here.
Gigi, don't.
We shouldn't be doing this.
I think she should be allowed to ask.
OK, well, then let's ask.
We're gonna be OK.
I know you 're awake.
I'm gonna have that shower.
If there are any spirits in this house, can you make your presence known to us by tapping a wall? 'Cause we really have to concentrate.
Don't even let your knees touch the person next to you.
If there are any spirits in this house, can you make your presence known to us? Can you? We're sending the love vibration to the spirit summoned.
And we all hold that person in loving remembrance.
What are you doing? That wasn't me.
I felt like there was someone's hand on my back.
Are you fucking with us? Ben.
- He's here.
- I gotta go.
I'm out.
We'll leave you in peace now.
Thanks for coming.
Thank you so much for inviting us.
Goodnight.
'Bye.
'Bye.
Night, Ben.
Thanks, Ally.
- Night, girls.
- See you, girls.
- See ya.
- 'Bye.
See you, guys.
You got any food left? Yeah, I'll hook you up.
You right to get home? Yeah.
Tram stop's just a few blocks.
Oh, I can walk you.
No, it's cool.
I think you 're cool.
What are you doing here? What? You have got to leave me alone.
Why? Oh, God.
If you 're here to destroy Tim, then it's already happened.
This has nothing to do with him.
You know, Christine, you 're so smart and sexy.
You run rings around him.
What do you want? What do you? I can't stop thinking about you.
You 're mad.
Maybe.
This is dangerous for me.
You 're married.
You know, sometimes I don't know whether I'm forcing you into this.
I know you pretend you 're in control but you 're not.
You 're not forcing me.
I I I can't seem to control myself.
Mum?! Max, um Oh, Max, I I Doesn't he work with Dad?! No, um Yes I Weren't you talking to me this morning about respect? This has got nothing to Please don't tell Dad.
You 're going to hell.
