SANTI: Mum's gonna love this.
JACINDA: It's from both of us, OK?
SANTI: OK. Sure.
That's a big house.
-Yeah. -And who's that?
-It's you. With her. -(SANTI LAUGHS)
And me in the middle.
We love you, Mum.

Are you thinking about her?
-What? -Your mum.
Mother's Day is tough for a lot of people.
Did you know that the woman who invented Mother's Day
then spent the rest of her life trying to shut it down
because it had been hijacked by money-making arseholes?
You know, Santa Claus doesn't exist, but we still celebrate.
Wait.
Santa Claus doesn't exist?
Seriously, though, are you gonna see Oly today
and make a fuss of her?
Yeah.
J and I have made her a card.
Oh, that's nice.
Oh, he's so cute!
(WHISPERS) Vince!
Wake up, Sleeping Beauty!
(TALIA SIGHS)
(VINCE GRUNTS) Hey.
What's up?
Happy Mother's Day.
What then?
(BOTH CHUCKLE)
-I don't get it. -(BOTH LAUGH)
Is this a 12-week scan?
It's OUR 12-week scan.
(LAUGHS) For real?
We wanted to keep it a secret in the first trimester, but...
-We're having a baby! -(LAUGHS)
Happy Mother's Day, mothers!
(KNOCK ON DOOR)
Oh! Hi.
-Hey. -JACINDA: Papi!
(GASPS) Ah, puchita!
Oh, I missed you.
Have you had a special morning with Mum?
-I made toast. -Yummy!
-Put your hat on! -OK.
SANTI: That's a cool hat.
JACINDA: Did you bring our card?
I'm not gonna forget that.
Wanna give it to her?
OLY: Ohh!
JACINDA: Daddy's doing his art again.
OLY: Aww! It's us!
SANTI: J drew most of it. I just helped out.
Papi, you read it so I can hear.
I told him what to write.
She did.
"Mum, I love you.
"You make me pasta when I'm hungry so I don't die."
(LAUGHS)
"I like when you read me books and take me swimming.
"You're not like all the other boring mums.
"You're my mum.
"And that's what makes you the best."
Aww!
"Love, JJ.
"Kiss, hug, kiss, hug."
I love you.
Do you want me to keep going?
Mm-hm.
"Oly,
"You'll always be a superhero to me.
"You're the best mum J could hope for.
"You make her life better and mine.
"I hope you know you can always count on me.
"Love, Santi."
(CHUCKLES) Thank you.
(DOM SHOUTS TARZAN-STYLE) Oooooly!
Hey, Baby J!
I can't remember. Who is it that I love?
Dum-Dum! You love me!
I do. Look who's driving.
Hi, Aunty Edie!
Hello, cool girl.
Sorry I can't come.
Mi papi's mummy's dead.
-Ohh. -She was Ita's daughter.
And Ita's sad.
Will you do me a favour and look after Dita
and your dad, please?
Good girl.
I'll see you later, OK?
-Wear your hat all day, OK? -Yes!
Cool hat!
Thank you.
-You ready for the kidnapping? -Yes.
-Let's go! -Say 'bye to Dum-Dum.
(BELL RESOUNDS, CHIMES TINKLE)
(SIGHS)
Awe and adulation to the life-giver.
Oh, thank you.
That was beautiful, Bowie.
Ohh!
-You centred? -Mm-hm.
Prepare. We have to go.
(BRAKES SQUEAL SOFTLY OUTSIDE)
Go?
Something is happening.
We don't have a lot of time.
-It's Mother's Day! -No, fuck Mother's Day.
-EDITH: Angie! -No.
EDITH: Come outside! (KNOCKS ON DOOR)
We've got a surprise!
Don't open that door, Bowie.
Bowie, I'm SERIOUS!
-Mum. Mum. -Bowie!
Mum! No, be water.
I can't believe you're in on this.
Come on, Angie, we all love you!
-Yeah, we do! -Mum, get in the car.
No. I'm not getting in that car.
DOM: Happy Mother's Day, darling!
I don't know what you're doing here.
I'm not your mother.
Well, no, I love and hate you,
much like my mother.
And curiously, I sometimes accidentally phone you
when I mean to dial her.
That is so creepy.
I thought we didn't do Mother's Day, Oly,
because Anna Jarvis had decided
that it had been appropriated by the anti-suffragist movement.
Mum, I was seven when I said that.
Hmm. Didn't stop you from using it as an excuse
not to buy me any presents.
-So where's my present? -I made you milky coffee.
Well, you're not my mother.
Where we're going is the present.
That's deep!
'Cause that works on two levels, right?
'Cause it's, like, the present,
but then, like, the present.
DOM: No, no. It's not sticky tape.
BOWIE: It's not here. No, no, no.
(ALL TALK AT ONCE)
BOWIE: Keep going. Keep going. Keep going.
Wait, keep going. Keep going. Oh, my God! Oh, my God!
Oh, my God!
ALL: Surprise!
OLY: Your Mother's Day present is
you get to do the thing that you love most in this world -
destroy us in competition!
DOM: Yeah!
I don't like that!
-(KIDS LAUGH) -Oh, come on!
Oh, come on! It's your favourite thing!
Beating us to a pulp!
Oh, I'm not that competitive!
-OK, Mum. Remember... -I'm not!
Remember when I beat you in Catan
putting down the knight card just as you thought you'd won?
Yeah, that was cheating! That was cheating.
You're meant to show the knight card!
OK, yeah, this... This is better than a crappy lunch.
Come on, Boz. Let's go sign in.
Why aren't you celebrating your own Mother's Day?
Because I wanna be a daughter today.
A good one.
Happy Mother's Day.
Oh, and winner gets this hat.
Ooh!
I think I would have preferred
you and me getting drunk somewhere.
Oh, me too.
But you know, they wanted to do something special for you.
Yep. Well, destroying them on the track will be special.
Yeah. (CACKLES)
-Gabriel, where is my car? -It's just over here.
Stop freaking out! Jesus.
Mum, while we look, how can we make your Mother's Day better?
Tell me why am I a good mother.
Because...
..you care for us and you make a lot of money for us.
Good. Now you.
Gabriel, tell me right now why am I a good mother?
Because you appreciate my jokes.
But that's not even about me, Gabriel.
Ready? Why do women wear make-up and perfume?
Because they're ugly and they reek!
Carajo!

Vince!
-Reema! -Hi!
I didn't see you guys there.
-(ISHANI LAUGHS) -Oh, happy Mother's Day.
Oh, thanks, Vince.
Would you like to join us for a quick champagne?
-Why not! -ISHANI: Great! (CHUCKLES)
Wow, look at this.
VINCE: Thank you. Thank you.
Um, yeah, how's your day been so far?
So good.
Yes, because I am the perfect daughter.
Breakfast in bed and then champagne all afternoon.
-(ISHANI CHUCKLES) -Wow! So spoiled!
ISHANI: So spoiled.
She deserves celebration for bringing me into this world,
don't you, Mum?
(BOTH CHUCKLE)
So, what did you give your mum?
Um...
..I was just gonna go see her.
Um, might grab her some flowers on the way.
ISHANI: Mmm.
Yep.
Are you OK?
Yep. I don't know.
I have to tell Mum about Ariel being pregnant.
She's pregnant?
Three months. Yeah, just found out.
REEMA: Oh, my God!
You're actually gonna be a dad with her?
And...and Talia.
I just don't know what Mum's gonna think.
I just don't know how it's gonna play out with her -
whether she'll wanna own it or...
Yeah, no, I don't know.
I mean, it's...it's pretty shocking.
Right? For your mum.
Having this suddenly land on her could be tough.
Right. Right, well, I'm sorry for bringing this up.
It's just on my mind and I wanted to...
ISHANI: No, Vince, it's fine. It's fine.
Top-up?
Sorry, no. No, thank you.
I better...
Happy Mother's Day.
ISHANI: Thanks, Vince.
(SUBTLE MUSIC)
Hoo! Let's do it.

It's like a bloody oubliette.

I'm not gonna let you win, Angela.
You won't have to.
Seriously, guys, go easy. I don't wanna crash.

I'm coming to get ya, Boz!

Suck it! Suck it, all of you!
-BOWIE: No, no, no, no. -ANGIE: Suck it!
-Rematch. -Bring it!
-BOWIE: Yeah. -No. No, no, no.
-Bowie, this is perfect. -(LAUGHS)
Mate, it's Mother's Day.
Edith, it is a bullshit made-up day to sell flowers and cards.
We have to beat her!
(LAUGHS) Hey!
That was fun!
Mum, you beat us!
Happy Mother's Day!
Thank you, darling.
It will be, yeah, after I destroy Bowie again.
Oh, yeah? Yeah, bring it on.
DOM: Let's let them race by themselves, huh?
Are you OK, Dad?
Yeah.
I'm OK.
I remember all the good things about her.
She was soft.
Made me feel safe.
She was smart.
And cool.
(BERNADITA SNIFFLES)
REEMA: Come on, then. What'd she say?
I couldn't tell my mum.
I tried.
"I helped Ariel get pregnant."
Mum's hated every single girl that's come near me
except for you, Ree.
I haven't come near you.
I looked at her...and froze up.
Couldn't handle it.
Well, you're gonna have to handle it!
ISHANI: Yeah.
How have you not thought this through?
Another bottle here, please!
EDITH: Have you called Mum yet?
Not yet. Where is she?
I don't know.
Last I heard, she was...
..walking the Nakasendo Trail in Japan or something.
Does it reflect poorly on you and I that our mother
spends her life as far away from us as she possibly can?
She's living for her now.
-Should we call her? -She won't answer!
Come on.
Never know.
-(CLEARS THROAT) -(PHONE RINGING TONE)
RECORDED VOICE:The number you have dialled is not available.
Leave a message after the tone.
-(BEEP!) -Hi, Mum!
It's Dom and Edie.
Hey, Mum! We're...we're thinking of you on Mother's Day.
Hope you're having a good time, wherever you are.
Look forward to seeing you sometime.
Love you, Mum!
Yeah.
ANGIE: Who is the winner?
Who is the winner?
Yeah, nah, 'cause you were cheating.
Like, you have to let the racer behind pass.
And she didn't even...
Best Mother's Day ever.
Yeah, well, 'cause, like...
Namaste, darling.
Get stuffed! Mum!
Happy Mother's Day, you...competitive witch!
Bowie, you're being very un-Bowie.
-Chill, man. -Yeah.
Just pretend you let me win if you like.
-(BOWIE CONTINUES RANTING) -Oh, moan.
Sore loser.
Where's Oly?
Oh, oh!
Oh, God bless her.
(BIRDS CHIRP)
Bueno, ya, I'm calling the police.
Mum, no!
What am I supposed to do, Gabriel, huh?
No, because you clearly lost it.
Why do you have to be such a bitch?
Excuse me?
All you do is lecture me all the time.
Because you do things like steal my car.
Of course I do!
I fucking hate you.
Don't.
Don't say that.
Everything I do, I mess up.
(CHUCKLES) I can't help it.
Yes, you can.
Gabriel, you're my little boy.
OK?
(MUTTERS) OK.
Hey, Mum, I found the car.
SEBASTIAN: Nuh.
SEBASTIAN: Uh-uh.
(CAR BEEPS)
Happy Mother's Day, Mum.
Not yet.
I wanna know that I'm a good mother
that raised good children.
So give your brother a hug.
(SIGHS) What? No!
Now tell each other that you love each other.
-Oh, my God. -Why?
Why? Because I'm not gonna be here forever, Gabriel.
And you'll only have each other to rely on,
so I wanna hear the love.
Love you, Gab.
Love you, Seb.
There. I'm happy.
Mum?
Mum, this isn't funny. We helped you find the car.
Yeah, mi amor. Thank you. Now, you know what?
You can think about your punishment while you walk home.
I didn't do anything wrong!
Ay, I know, mi vida. You're my good boy.
So maybe you can teach him something, sí?
And see you boys at the house
in an hour...ish.
Maybe.
(STARTS ENGINE) 'Bye.
Sorry! Sorry, sorry, sorry, sorry, sorry, sorry.
N-n-no!
Sorry this day is sad.
Thank you.
But it's not, Sorpresa.
Why don't we have some fun?
You wanna have a party?
JACINDA: Yay, a party!
-SANTI: We can dance with Ita? -OLY: Hello?
Mum, where's your hat?
Oh, Grangie won it.
Are you ready? She's just waiting outside.
Oly, is your mother here too?
Bring her in!
And Dum-Dum and Aunty Edie.
Bring them all in!
(EDITH WHISPERS) I don't know what I'm doing here.
(MUTTERS) If I have to be here, so do you.
DOM: Yeah, two fists.
Oh, Alejandro.
Thank you so much for inviting us.
-This is really nice. -Our pleasure, amigo.
-Our pleasure. -Oh, that's a great idea.
-Thank you. -Thank you.
Cheers. Thank you.
Hello, hello!
What's going on here?
Oh, Dita wanted to celebrate.
Ahh. Are my sons here yet?
Hi.
Dita invited us in. Hope you don't mind.
You're looking better.
Ohh! Yeah, mmm. Thanks.

It's...it's a Mercedes, isn't it?
He's lucky he's alive, huh?
Oh, yeah, but then when you found it,
that's better than flowers.

I want to dance. You like Latin dancing, don't you?
Yeah, I used to.

SEBASTIAN: It's a birdbath, Mama.
I bought it. Dad paid for it. It was second-hand.
-Really? -Yeah. It was!
Ay, put it down there. Put it down there.
(GABRIEL LAUGHS)
Why are you not dancing, Aunty Edie?
Oh, you... I'm not a mum.
Oh, sorry about that.
Oh, no, that's OK. I am totally OK being just me.
And being part of your life.
You don't need to be a mum.
You're an excellent Aunty Edith.
Aww! Thanks, cool girl.
Fuck it. Come on, let's dance.
Yes! Oh, and swear jar.
(SIGHS) Got me again.
I'll pay ya later.
Santiago?
-Right now? -Oly.
-SANTI: No, no, no. It's OK. -Go with him, please.
Help carry.
It's OK. I don't need you to come with me.
Go. Both. Now.
Milk and bread.
Don't forget your hat, Mum. It's sunny out there.
Oh. Thank you!
('PASADO Y OLVIDO' BY PEHUENCHE PLAYS)
(SONG IN SPANISH PLAYS)
The hat really suits you.
-Really? -(LAUGHS) Yeah.
I really liked the card.
I was worried it'd upset you.
I really like that you're doing your art again.
It's really special. I think you should keep doing it.
Thanks, Oly.
It was what you wrote in the card that made me feel...
..weird this morning.
I sort of...
..lost it this year.
And it's 'cause when you said
that you wanted to introduce J to Keeks.
That was your idea.
No, it wasn't. You said that you were gonna go camping.
No, I wasn't... That was only...
Can you just... Can you let me finish?
