It's a... It's a joke.
I can handle it.
I met this girl hiking Yucatán and we kind of fell in...
It wasn't love, but our souls were tethered.
And the last night we just lay down and just...held each other.
It was the most intense exchange of energy.
The next morning, she says goodbye
and goes to meet her fiancé.
Wait, she was engaged?
That's really not the point of the story, Dad.
Oh, she was your Rosebud?
Yeah... No. No.
Sorry, what's the point then?
I could spend the rest of my life agonising
over what I know I lost that day
or I could carry the best of it with me.
Well, I've lost everything.
Maybe I should go on a hike.
Yeah. You could find your new Rosebud.
Or find myself.
The Great North Walk, you heard of it?
Sydney Opera House to Newcastle.
Two weeks, bush, wilderness. We could do it together.
Yeah, I'd love to do that with you, Dad.

Oh, thanks, JJ.
Is something wrong with Grangie?
Um...no.
There's nothing wrong with her.
But she really likes pretending to be asleep
at the moment, doesn't she?
Yeah.
She must be playing the hibernation game.
Hibernating is what bears and other animals
do in the winter when it's really cold.
They gather all of their food and their supplies
and they hunker down until the spring comes
and then they can go outside and play again.
Her other games are better.
EDITH: Hello?
Hey. Thanks for coming.
Well, thanks for calling.
-Um... -(GASPS) Aunty Edie!
-Hi, cool girl. -Hey, J?
Do you want to go pack your bag for me, please?
-Why? -Uh...
Because we're gonna let Aunty Edie
play the hibernation game with Grangie.
OK.
(WHISPERS) It's really boring.
(KNOCK AT DOOR)

Thank you.

You OK in there?
Can I...
I'm sorry it took so long to...talk to you again.
(CLEARS THROAT)
I know it was a shock for everyone,
but, you know, it happened so fast for me too
and, you know, I needed some time to process it.
And you already know I'm kind of avoidant when it comes to...
You know... (CLEARS THROAT)
When we were...
I was starting to think...
..that...
I really felt like I... so wanted to be with you.
But then that whole thing happened
and I-I just freaked out.
And...
..I figured you'd tell me it was a mistake and that...
..you couldn't see me anymore.
And then Oly told me that you haven't been up,
so, um, I thought I'd see if...
What, you only came because Oly asked you to?
No, that's not what I meant.
(STAMMERS) I did want to come and see you.
I...
I just thought you'd tell me to go away.
God, you mustn't think that much of me.
Oh, Ange. No, that's not it.

Ah! I love this song.
I was just telling him that the lyrics are a little extreme.
Yes, yes, Gabe, turn it down.
You just said you liked it.
Gabriel.
You said you'd drive me to Dad's.
-We can still drive you. -What do you mean 'we'?
You're gonna turn up with him in the car?
And what, you like being driven around by a girl, do you?
Yeah. Same as you.
Well, you get your licence and I won't have to.

Get off me! This has nothing to do with you!
You only live here because nobody fucking wants you.
-No, Gabriel, don't say that. -This is my house.
None of you should fucking be here.
No, this is MY house and I decide who is here!
-Fine then. I'm going to Dad's. -Not in my shirt, you're not.
-Fuck off! You gave it to me. -No, I didn't.
Hey!
Why are you being such a dick to your mum?
Why keep telling people what to do when your life sucks?
Go and apologise.
-Why should I? It is my house. -OK, well, you know what?
This is mine and you're not going if you're a dick.
-What are you doing? -Take it off.
-This you being a dad? -Yeah, maybe.

But, yeah, I got in and I'm pretty stoked.
Yeah!
I've already met this other guy
who wants to make the same type games.
That is so exciting.
I'm sorry, I should have told you.
-Or at least asked you before. -No, that...
I'll still work at Picá del Sabor a few nights a week,
helping out Rosa, maybe weekends.
I'm not entirely sure yet but...
It's totally fine, I get it.
Thanks, Ol.
-Is everything OK? -Yeah, I-I...
I also applied for this thing.
A scholarship.
For an exchange in New York.
Oh.
Yeah. Sorry, I should have warned you.
No, no, no, it's fine. It's just...
I didn't realise you still wanted to go to New York.
Yeah. Yeah.
I mean, it's kind of impossible.
It would be this huge deal for you and for J obviously.
-Four months, it's... -No, no, no.
I don't want you to worry about that.
If it happens, we can find a way to make it work.
-It sounds pretty cool, though. -Yeah.
Yeah, I don't even know if I'll get to the interview stage.
It's pretty competitive.
I once met someone
who said it's only competitive if you don't get in.
