Tuiskoms (2025) s01e01 Episode Script

[gentle piano music playing]
[man] A lone woman
stares out across the waves.
What happened to her?
Has love abandoned her?
Has life tossed her wildly
in all directions?
[wings fluttering]
- Or is the whole universe out to get her?
- What?
[groans]
- [amusing music playing]
- [groans]
[groans]
- [man] To understand this moment,
- [screams]
we have start in a nightclub
in Johannesburg.
Steve was extremely lucky
to have met Julia.
She was very generous.
So generous, she also gave him
the classic sexually transmitted disease…
- Crab lice.
- [giggles]
Almost done, Chef!
[man] Steve was a junior chef
at Juntos restaurant in Pretoria,
and six days later,
his pubic area began to itch terribly.
It was at this moment
that our heroine's life
changed irrevocably for a second time.
- Table five, Chef.
- It's about time! Table five, now!
[man] Her name is Fleur Smit,
owner and manager of Juntos restaurant.
For what follows,
it's important to remember
that she's been through hell
over the past two years.
She fought tooth and nail
to save her restaurant,
and keep her life together.
[amusing music playing]
Table five would like to see the manager.
[flames sizzling]
[jazz music playing softly]
As Fleur walked to the table,
she fired a prayer into the universe,
asking to keep her calm,
to make sure
that the entire house of cards
wouldn't collapse now.
She wasn't sure
how much more she could handle.
[hesitantly] Good evening, sir.
- Everything okay?
- No, um…
I wonder if you could explain at all,
why there would be, uh,
a pubic hair on my plate.
[gasps]
[heart beating anxiously]
I… apologize…
but…
I…
I don't see a hair. It's a…
It's a light reflection.
So I'm lying to you, huh?
It's there! On top, a pube.
It's a mistake. Okay? You are wrong.
There is no hair. At all.
[amusing music playing]
You can stop recording.
There's… there's nothing.
Except for someone's nasty pube!
There's nothing there!
Look! Look here! Hmm?
[amusing music continues playing]
- Mmm. Mmm!
- [amusing music sting]
Mmm. [smacking]
Mmm… [smacking]
It's just a slightly sour,
slightly sweet raspberry coulis.
There is no pube there!
[amusing music continues playing]
[Steve clears throat]
Um…
Um… I'm sorry, Fleur.
[clears throat] It was just so itchy.
[music ends]
[sighs deeply]
Mom, shouldn't you start dating again?
Then things like this wouldn't happen.
Where did you get that?
Mom, it's everywhere.
I've had, like, five WhatsApps.
There are at least six memes.
And videos, plus a baseline.
- [scoffs] It can't be that bad.
- [Kelly scoffs]
You're trending on X.
In fact,
you have your own hashtag. #pubechef.
- [sighs]
- I think let's download Tinder.
- 'Cause really, you need it.
- That's… [sighs]
It's funny. Yeah, people like that stuff.
It could be good.
Huh?
She's lost all her marbles. Huh?
[sighs] Give me something to hold on to.
[sighs]
What were you thinking, Mom?
Um…
It'll die down.
We'll survive.
We do. Always.
[comedic music sting]
- [man] Fleur's optimism was short-lived.
- We can't go on like this!
[man] She lost her suppliers
and her kitchen staff.
This isn't a soup kitchen,
and I'm not Gandalf, okay!
Herman didn't waste any time either
to let people know
exactly what happened to him.
I was just assaulted by a woman
who licked a pube,
yes, a pube, off of a plate.
Whatever you do, don't go to Juntos, okay?
It's a death trap.
[amusing music playing]
They do need a health inspection, though.
And a psychiatric evaluation.
[man] With no money left,
and with a second mortgage on her house,
the bank refused
to extend any further credit.
[heartfelt music playing]
[man] Do you need anything else?
Oh, we need to sort that out for you!
- I'll get it for you. I'll get it for you!
- Ah, great.
Have a seat there, please. Awesome.
[sighs]
[man] Are you guys okay here?
Beautiful, beautiful. Enjoy it!
Left with only memories,
Fleur had no choice.
[hopeful music playing]
[line rings]
Hi, Dad.
Uh…
Not so well.
The restaurant's closed.
I'm in debt rescue.
They're taking the house as well.
Basically everything.
Well, not basically. Everything.
Dad, I can't take more money.
I was wondering
if we could stay with you for a while.
I am looking for a job,
so it won't be for long.
Thanks, Dad. I'm sorry.
I love you. Bye.
Um… Things will turn out fine.
Maybe Herman's right
about the psychiatric evaluation.
Do you hate me?
Is this really our only option?
[intriguing music playing]
[sighs]
[Fleur] Wilderness is beautiful.
You'll see.
[Kelly] It's a thousand kilometers away.
[sarcastic] Goodbye, beloved house.
The only home I've even known.
All my memories.
I'll miss you.
Well, that was just mean.
[man] And so, Fleur was on her way
to her new life.
She wasn't sure
what the future had in store for her.
She had to start all over again,
trying not to fall apart completely.
[hopeful music playing]
[people talking indistinctly]
I got this for your Gran.
[sighs] Come on!
- [Kelly] Yeah.
- [Fleur] Agh!
Thought it would be a nice surprise.
Call Grandpa?
[vehicle approaches]
[Fleur] I can change a tire.
Not with the dead weight
of a thousand camels--
- Oh… my word.
- [vehicle door closes]
[sultry music playing]
Shut… your… mouth.
Do you guys need any help?
Yoh. Uh, yes, please.
Um, I'm Nick.
Fleur. And this is my daughter, Kelly.
Kelly… Yeah.
Fleur. That's a pretty name.
We'll just offload
a few things first, yeah?
Hey, guys! Just come help!
- He can do whatever he wants.
- Kelly.
- Mm.
- Thanks. We appreciate it.
Yeah, sure, sure.
We'll just get everything off.
It's-- It's still easier
to change the tire
when there's nothing on it, yeah?
Cool.
[chuckles]
[chuckles softly]
[music ends]
Do you guys have far to go?
No, we're coming to Wilderness.
Permanently?
Hopefully, it's just temporary.
But long enough
to catch a few waves with us?
This is-- [chuckles] This is a classic.
- I… haven't been in the water for years.
- You're never too old to start again.
She'll join you. Yeah. Uh…
Vic Bay, right?
Yeah, best place.
I'm sure you guys have somewhere to be.
Thanks again.
Any time. Sure.
- Fleur?
- Mm-mm.
Bye, Fleur.
Bye.
He can walk away all day.
- In the car… now.
- [chuckles]
You guys had a vibe.
I think you should ask for his number.
- I'll kill you.
- [chuckles]
- There will be documentaries. Car. Now.
- [laughs]
- Look at you. A young woman now.
- [Kelly chuckles]
And beautiful.
- Thank you, Grandpa.
- [chuckles]
- Life is cruel, my child.
- Hello, Dad.
- Hello.
- [Fleur] Mom.
I hope you have a good birthday.
I got you a little something.
Oh, thank you.
- Congrats, Grandma!
- Oh, thanks, Kelly.
I made some flapjacks.
Eat first, before we offload.
I have a chapter that's very urgent.
Surely you can eat first?
[irritated] Your daughter just got here.
Sure.
This is going to be so much fun. [sighs]
[gentle piano music playing]
[music ends]
The internet is a sewage plant, Abigail.
Everything is extreme.
Where's the substance?
If the substance disappears we are,
I don't know, doomed.
And if you're lukewarm,
you'll be spat out.
I must say,
I find it all very resilient. Creative.
At the expense of your child?
[Abigail] Well, I'm sorry, but we all know
nothing is private anymore.
If you see a pubic hair
in a restaurant and lick it off…
Honestly, Abigail.
No, Dad.
Mom's right.
It was irresponsible.
But I have an interview tomorrow.
Project manager
at a construction company in George.
At least you're trained for that, hey.
[scoffs]
And you, Ms. Smit? Are you looking forward
to your new school?
[scoffs] My uniform
is about nine sizes too large,
and I don't easily make friends, so, no.
[doorbell rings]
Will you see who it is? Please my love?
I'm sorry, darling.
She's busy writing. You know how it goes.
But I ordered flowers for her,
and tonight I'll make risotto.
It's worth a shot.
I especially ordered sunflowers for you--
That's the wrong one.
Um, I ordered for a friend too--
"In you, I rediscover myself."
Who's Lucy?
[gentle piano music playing]
[clears throat]
Abigail.
Give us some privacy to speak alone.
We're going to start offloading.
Come on.
[gentle piano music fades]
[intriguing music playing]
[car starts]
[amusing music playing]
[exclaims softly]
No, man! [groans]
[moans softly]
[groans]
I just saw Grandpa leaving in his car.
What the hell?
There's surely a good explanation.
- Uh, yes, like shoulder pads in the 80s.
- [sighs]
You realise this is a war zone?
Fleur, what are we going to do?
Kelly Maria Smit. In short…
Can you just give me a moment
in the shower?
I will talk to your Gran,
- and all will be okay…
- [creaking]
[water rushing]
Oh, no! Come on, man!
Why's all this happening now?
It's-- It's another sign, Mom!
The burst tire. The affair!
We don't know he's having an affair, okay?
The geyser. It's the third one!
- Just go turn off the stopcock.
- Where is it?
I don't know! Ask your grandma!
We should never have come here!
[scoffs]
[sighs]
[music stops]
What type of work environment
do you prefer?
They won't ask that. [sighs]
They want to know if you'll fit
into their company's culture.
Say you like somewhere fast-paced
where you can learn,
and work with people
towards a collective goal.
The internet's never wrong.
You got more?
Uh… How do you deal with
stressful situations?
I'm going to check in on your granny.
[sighs]
What are you going to say if they ask
you why you worked in a restaurant
for the last six years?
That it's exactly the same
as project management.
Huh.
Marry a rich dude.
Then we can live on his yacht.
[chuckles silently]
[sighs]
[music fades]
Can I bring you a sandwich or something?
I'm writing.
- Who can I call about the geyser?
- I'll give Nick a call.
He's the local handyman.
Nick? The… blonde surfer guy?
- Nothing wrong with that.
- No.
Did Dad say anything?
Mom?
It's over between us.
Apparently,
he's been rediscovering himself
in Lucy for a year already.
He's probably discovering himself now.
What happened here?
Were you that unhappy?
All we did was fight. But that's done now.
Anything else?
Thanks for letting us stay.
[somber piano music playing]
[music fades]
Uh, a cheese sandwich,
a peanut butter smoothie,
and a flat white, please. Thanks.
I look like a bluebottle.
Nonsense.
Apparently, the school has
a very good choir and chess team. So…
Yes, like any other average school.
You'll be fine.
Small world.
Epic uniform.
Abigail says your geyser's busted.
I'll fix it for you today.
Replace the ceiling.
Looks like you're saving us again.
If you want to thank me,
come to the drum circle.
It's at the backpackers' tonight.
Thanks. I'll see.
She has to get to school.
Yeah. I'll see you tonight.
[rhythmic drumming]
[primal screeching]
Are you okay?
We have to leave.
Uh…
Mm…
Right.
Sorry, ma'am.
It, uh, looks like it's not going through.
Uh, I'm… sure I've got cash.
Um, you can use mine.
I… sold a few prints.
[heartfelt music playing]
Thanks, guys.
- [sighs]
- So, there's no cash there?
No, it's not all--
Mom! Honesty is rule one.
Oh, my word.
What will happen to us?
Uh, can I still go to school?
Do… do we have food?
It's okay.
I'll borrow some money from Auntie Klara
till the job's in place, and uh…
everything will be fine.
Nothing's fine, okay?
- [beep]
- [crash]
- [both gasp]
- [man] Oh! [groans]
[groaning]
I'm so sorry. Are you okay?
- I'm fine. Don't worry.
- Get in. I'm taking you to Casualties.
Oh, no, no, no, it's okay.
It's okay, it's okay. [groans]
[strains]
[groans]
- Okay.
- [groans]
- [Fleur straining]
- Just help me to the shop.
[groans] Doc Paul can have a look.
It's just over there.
[both groaning and straining]
- [intriguing music playing]
- [man] Okay.
[groans]
Oh, darling! What has occurred here?
It's his leg,
I bumped him with my car outside.
Oh my gosh.
You were probably on your cellphone.
Why don't you look where you're going?
- Is it your leg or your foot, huh?
- My ankle.
[exclaims] Doc! Doctor! That hurts, okay?
Mari, call an ambulance.
- If we hurry we can save this foot of his.
- Oh!
- Doc, are you serious?
- Very.
- We'll sue you for all you have!
- It was just a bump! I didn't mean to!
So we're bankrupt, and we'll be locked up.
Alright, alright!
That's enough now, everyone.
See, that's what happens
when you exaggerate.
You've just twisted your ankle.
Werner, stop being such a wimp!
- Mari, please get Fleur some sugar water.
- Fleur?
Jonathan and Abigail's daughter.
You're getting old.
Sugar water. Now.
- [exclaims]
- Don't tell me I'm getting old.
Look who's talking.
You're prettier in real life
than you are in photo's. [chuckles]
You want to sit down?
How about a quick brekkie?
No. No, thanks.
We have to get to school now.
- Are you the 'Yellow Witch's' daughter?
- Werner!
[chuckles] Yeah, that's right.
Listen, I feel terrible. Uh, I have to go.
[groans]
[groans softly]
Oh, my word! Seriously?
Oh, man! [chuckles]
Please may I have a photo?
My sister won't believe this. [chuckles]
Thanks. You were hysterical. [laughs]
Mm.
Couldn't leave the pube alone, could we?
- [gentle music playing]
- [Abigail sighs]
[sighs]
Mr Hendricks had to go out.
There was an emergency
on one of the building sites.
He wondered if you could wait at all?
- Any time.
- Fantastic. Thanks.
- Mm.
- [amusing music playing]
[background music playing]
I… I must've given the wrong bouquet
to Jake to deliver.
[tearfully] Oh, good heavens,
what have I done?
Do you have the other address?
Yes, I wrote it down--
- In your book?
- Yes, in my book.
Jonathan told me the other flowers
were for a sick friend.
- And you thought it's true.
- [tearfully] Yes.
Sedgefield.
Probably a former secretary.
Oh, Abigail.
[sighs]
Tell him if he can't meet
the delivery date, I'll replace him.
I want my bricks on that site today. Done.
Tea?
Sorry, one of those days.
Exactly why I need someone.
Um… Fleur.
Michael.
Nice to meet you.
Let's get to it.
Right, let's begin.
Tell me a bit more about yourself.
People say I talk too much and that's why
I don't have friends or a boyfriend,
but you look as if you won't mind.
[amusing music playing]
Uh, no, no, I wouldn't. [chuckles softly]
Kelly.
- Alice.
- Oh.
So, what are you drawing?
Or is that private?
Uh…
Wow!
That's amazing!
So, when did you get here?
[Ferdinand] Alice!
Oh, no! Come on!
He's hot and I'm crazy about him,
but he's a freak.
[laughs] Look, it's a new one.
Not interested, pervert.
- [sniggers] She can put her mouth on my--
- What is wrong with you?
It's funny, okay? And a MILF is a MILF.
- Ow!
- That's my mom, assholes! My mom!
I didn't say anything!
Yeah well, serves you right.
You're all the same everywhere!
[sniggers]
[indistinct]
[Ferdinand laughs]
[piano and guitar music playing]
[softly] Oh!
[amusing music playing]
[amusing music continues playing]
I like a fast-paced workplace
where I can learn and work with people
towards a goal we share,
such as in my restaurant.
That's what I want to talk about.
Um, you have a very impressive CV.
And then, six years ago
you just opened a restaurant.
Why?
Come on!
[ambulance sirens wailing]
No! No!
Fleur.
Yeah. Uh…
The restaurant…
- It's actually a funny story. I… Uh--
- [cellphone vibrates]
Uh, sorry, just hold on for me. Hello.
What?
Sure. I'll come.
Excuse me. I, uh-- I have to go.
Mm, I can just wait.
That won't be necessary.
Uh, I'll let you know.
[cellphone pings]
[intriguing guitar music plays]
Get in the car.
Come on. Now.
Come on.
Thank you.
So who is he?
Evan.
Hendriks.
- Hendriks?
- Mm-hmm.
Oh, please tell me
it's not Michael Hendriks' son.
It is.
He owns the construction company in…
- How was your interview?
- Short.
Mm.
Oh…
We were going to travel, Fleur.
I retired and we moved here.
But she kept working. She kept writing.
We were supposed to go to the forest
one day, but your mom, again…
[expels breath] Lucy was the tour guide.
I got tired of waiting, Fleur.
I'm sorry you had to find out this way.
Did you even want us to find out?
You're not innocent, Dad.
Thanks for picking Kelly up from school.
[somber music playing]
Guess what, Rocky?
Evan is the son of the guy
I saw for an interview this morning.
- How did it go?
- Not great, hey.
- And that's my fault?
- No, that's not what I'm say--
No, I think that's exactly
what you're saying.
Maybe you should look in the mirror, Mom.
Maybe, you should've closed the restaurant
two years ago
and gotten a real job instead.
- Kelly--
- No, Mom, We're destitute.
- And not because I hit an asshole today.
- Hey.
- But they called you a MILF.
- I don't care about that.
The memes don't matter either. It's over.
Yes, like our lives, apparently.
I will make a plan for us.
[bitterly] 'Cause your plans have all
been great up to now.
[sighs]
[gentle piano and guitar music playing]
[music fades]
[amusing music playing]
Oh, my good heavens!
Have you completely lost the plot?
The whole house is full of this stuff
and it's useless. Like your father.
No, stop! Kelly, take the books.
- Don't you dare!
- [Fleur sighs]
Why don't you just talk to Dad first?
- Because there's nothing more to say.
- Good grief! That's where it all started.
Uh-uh! It all started
with his lust hanging out
for a 30-year-old child!
Thirty!
- I know. But you can't just--
- How do you know? Have you seen him?
Yeah. He picked Kelly up from school.
I saw a picture.
Why did he pick her up from school?
Because he's listed as her next of kin.
Mom, that's not the point here!
- No, I think it says it all.
- Agh, I can't believe this!
You're not the only one suffering.
You haven't seen my daughter in two years!
Don't try to pretend
like you've ever been her next of kin.
Don't act like you care.
If you paid more attention to Dad--
It's sex, Fleur! That's all it is.
- Sex.
- Well, then you're blind!
And stop burning all of that!
Oh, yes, Your Highness!
Just have some gratitude for the fact
that I'm putting a roof over your head!
Agh, we don't have to stay here.
Where else would you go?
- [amusing music playing]
- [coughs]
It's okay.
It's cool. I'll put out the fire.
[music ends]
- [line ringing]
- [clears throat]
[Michael] Hello.
Michael, it's uh… Fleur. Fleur Smit.
- Sorry to bother you.
- Uh-huh. It's no problem. Everything okay?
Uh, I…
I just want to apologize about your son.
My daughter is grounded
for the rest of her life.
I'd like to say
I never raised her this way,
but… clearly I did. [chuckles]
Was-- Was it your daughter who hit my son?
[hesitantly] Yes.
I'm, uh… very sorry.
[scoffs]
Okay, it's a new low for my son.
Uh, anyway, I hope it doesn't influence
any of my chances.
[sighs] Fleur, I'm sorry, I…
Honestly, I get the feeling
there's a lot going on in your life,
and it's just…
It's just not a risk I can afford to take.
Michael, I promise you,
I'll be 100% focused on the work.
I really need this.
I hear you,
but I have to put my company first.
I hope you understand.
Naturally.
And I'm… really sorry.
It doesn't matter, it's all done.
Well, enjoy your day.
So, what's your brilliant plan now?
I'm going out.
Ask your grandma for food.
She takes care of us now.
[amusing music sting]
You came.
I don't have a drum.
Ah, that's fine.
Just feel the rhythm, right?
- [Fleur expels breath]
- Yeah.
[people chatting indistinctly]
This is Fleur.
Hi.
[rhythmic drumming]
[drumming continues]
[mouthing]
[mouthing]
[drumming fades somewhat]
Well, that's quite something, hey?
- Yeah?
- It's… [chuckles] …amazing!
Do you know
you carry the universe in your soul?
[chuckles]
Are you one of those? [chuckles]
Yeah, I am. I am, yeah.
Mm.
[whispers] Come with me.
Please.
[sighs]
[drumming continues softly]
[Nick chuckles]
[chuckles] Where are we going? [laughs]
Here we go. Everyone's right there.
- At least they can't see us out here.
- [giggles] What's happening? [chuckles]
[drumming continues softly]
[sighs]
[breathes faster]
[Fleur sighs]
[moans softly]
[moans softly]
[gasps]
[sighs]
[breathes deeper]
[moans]
[breathing intensifies]
[breathing intensifies, moaning]
[gasps]
[breathing rapidly, moaning]
[moans louder]
[gasps]
- [somber music playing]
- [echoing] Please!
[gasps]
- [ambulance sirens wailing]
- [echoing] Come on!
- [echoing] No! [sobs]
- Come on.
- [beeping]
- [sobbing]
[gasps]
[sobbing]
Stop. [gasps] Stop, stop, stop, stop.
- [inhales deeply]
- What?
I'm…
- What?
- [sobs] Sorry, I can't do this.
- What?
- [sobs] Sorry.
[heartfelt music playing]
[breathes rapidly]
[music fades]
[Jonathan] That was a quick walk.
I was planning on being gone
before you got here.
- Have you seen my diary?
- I burnt it.
Jonathan, put your things away.
It was fun, but…
This is your house.
No, I don't think I will.
[breathes deeply] I only have
so much time left.
- I want to be happy.
- We are that.
I wonder if we ever were.
Don't be ridiculous.
Can you honestly say we were?
[heartfelt music playing]
So you're leaving me for a child?
Just giving up?
No, Abigail.
I'm leaving you to save myself.
Excuse me.
[music continues playing]
So you were right.
[sighs]
[sighs] I held on for too long, but I…
I'm sorry that we're in Wilderness, and…
I'm sorry we're in this mess,
and I'm sorry I'm not a better mother.
Mom.
[sighs] I'll… I'll make a plan.
I'm not exactly sure how yet,
but I promise you I will.
Please don't hate me.
I can't lose you as well.
You'll never lose me, Fleur.
You know that.
[chuckles]
Dad would've found this hysterical.
[chuckles]
- Yes, he would've.
- [sighs]
- [amusing music sting]
- Where were you last night?
Nowhere.
Went to that drum circle thing, I hope?
- Mm.
- [gasps] You did! [chuckles]
Did you see Nick there?
- Kelly, today you'll apologize to Evan.
- Did you make out? Was it nice?
Do you hear me?
Yes, Mom.
[chuckles]
I want you to be happy again.
And you, my angel.
- [chuckles] Dad would've had such a laugh.
- [chuckles]
[music fades]
[gasps] You're crazy. I love you.
We are going to be best friends.
[gasps] So, where do you stay?
Um, in Wilderness.
Awesome! So do I!
You should join our lift-club.
So, it's a few of us.
- It's me and Evan and Luke--
- Evan?
[hesitantly] Yeah.
He's actually very nice.
It's Ferdinand who's the bad influence.
Ferdinand is quite…
quite naughty.
Uh…
Uh.
Evan.
[snorts] Sorry.
[chuckles, clears throat]
I'm sorry that I hit you.
Uh… It just wasn't a nice day.
It's okay. I'm sorry.
- We shouldn't--
- We shouldn't have.
[Evan] We?
I… I. I shouldn't have.
[expels breath] I deleted all the memes.
I'm, uh… sorry.
It's okay.
It is what it is.
Anyway, um…
- Forgive me.
- It's okay.
[amusing music sting]
- [chuckles]
- [chuckles]
[background song playing softly]
[Werner] There you go.
- Thank you.
- Um, say hi to your parents.
I will do so. Thank you.
Hi.
Hi.
- You arrange flowers. [chuckles]
- Yes, if I have time.
I actually just wanted to check
if your ankle is okay.
I'm really sorry.
Yeah, it's a bit stiff but, uh, fine.
Would you like to grab a seat?
Okay, we can.
[sighs]
Uh, Gift. Two flat whites, please.
Alright.
Mm.
- Why did you lick the hair off the plate?
- Okay, I don't have the strength for this.
I'm so glad you're feeling better.
Excuse me.
No, no, wait, wait, wait,
The memes are stupid and ridiculous.
I want to know why you did it.
There must have been a reason.
Please. [clears throat]
Because, in that moment,
I saw the restaurant disappear,
and I couldn't allow it.
It was the last physical evidence
that my husband existed.
Anyway, I just couldn't.
So, it was out of love.
Sure. I guess.
So, do you want to manage my shop for me?
What?
- Wait, this place?
- Yes, manage it for me.
But… I-- I know nothing about flowers.
So, you can learn.
[sighs]
Um… where is your previous manager?
She wanted to spread her wings.
[chuckles] That, and he slept with her.
And the one before her. [chuckles]
That's not important now.
We all have history.
I don't hold yours against you.
You're perfect for the shop.
Why?
Because you believe in love,
and that's what this shop is.
And I know you'll do anything
to make it work.
I'd like to have you here.
Think about it, please, huh?
Coffee's on me.
[gentle piano music playing]
[Man] Do you understand the look
in Fleur's eyes now?
A widow.
A mother.
[wings fluttering]
The victim of a seagull.
What?
Ugh!
[groans]
[exclaims]
[Andre] And my dearest wife
who lost me two years ago,
and now has to face the world alone.
You should've slept with Nick.
- [sighs]
- His bum is beautiful.
Don't start with me.
- I shouldn't have, it was dumb.
- You wanted to.
Why didn't you do it, hm?
Stop it.
You know why not, just leave it.
Do you miss it?
[Andre] The sea?
No.
But to be alive…
Every day.
It's too difficult.
[breathing deeply] It's all
just too difficult.
Take the job.
- What's the worst that can happen?
- [sighs]
You?
You of all people are asking that?
- It's another restaurant.
- But it's not my restaurant.
- And it's your life, okay?
- [sniffles]
You have to let go,
Fleur. You're holding on too tight.
I hate it when you say that.
When people say that.
Then move forward.
[sighs]
There's always hope.
I'm going to swim.
You almost drowned once already.
Good thing I'm dead.
[both chuckle]
- [sobs]
- I miss you.
It's time, Fleur.
It's time to dust off your surfboard,
and get back into the ocean.
Don't you think?
[hopeful music playing]
[sobs]
