(cellular phone ringing)
(soft music)
- [Peter] Clara.
- Hey.
- Did something happen?
- No.
- Then why did you just leave?
- Well, I didn't assume I was staying.
- But you left without saying anything.
- I texted.
- "Can't stay."
You don't just leave.
- I think you should watch "Fast and Furious".
I don't wanna get in the way.
- You're not getting in the way,
I can focus on more than one thing.
Something else is going on here.
I...
Don't make me beg for an explanation.
Can you talk to me?
- I'm so sorry, I can't.
I have to go to bed.
I need, I think I should just get some sleep and then...
- I'm in love with you, Clara.
And I don't want you to play games with me,
because I'm too old for that.
(soft music)
Have a good sleep.
- [Christine] Were you trying to get rid of me?
- [Aaron] Dad, what are you...
- I'm sorry.
I suppose I was trying to feel better sooner.
But grief doesn't really work like that, does it?
I'm really sorry about surprising you last night.
I, you know, Anita and I
don't need to get married immediately,
or, or, or at all, if...
you know, if that's something that's...
- too painful- - Dad, it's fine.
- If it makes you happy, you should just ...
But thank you.
(soft music)
You left that ugly chair.
- Yeah, I couldn't find it.
I think someone must have taken it.
- It's probably a good thing.
(Glen and Aaron laughing)
- [Glen] It was awful.
(Aaron weeping)
(soft music)
- [Glen] Oh.
- Good morning.
- Morning.
Ah, went for some air, bit of an early morning walk.
- Very early.
- Yeah, I'm sorry.
Um, I went to get Christine's things and...
and put them back in her room.
(Glen sighing)
- Do you feel better?
- I do.
Yeah.
- Does Aaron feel better?
- Yep.
He does.
- Well, that's good.
Why don't you go back to bed?
- No, no, no, I'm up now.
And I want to write a list,
we've got too much to organize for our wedding.
- Hey.
Are you sure?
- Yes, I'm sure, if you are?
- Yes.
(Clara laughing)
- [Sasha] What's going on?
- I'm so hard to be with, Sasha.
Just for moment I wanna feel
what it's like to be a warm person.
(Clara laughing)
- Got a busy day?
- Just Road Transport Act.
- I've gotta get to class.
- I don't know how to do this.
- Me either.
- Yeah, last night just...
I don't know if it is good or...
It happened.
We can't unkiss.
- I'm glad we can't unkiss.
- Yeah, me... me too.
What do we, what do we do?
Now?
(soft music)
- Maybe there's an age where you learn to be with someone
and I missed it, because...
(Clara laughing)
- Use, use your words.
- Sorry, I just focused on study and career
and now I'm stuck in my ways.
- Listen, I'm married
and I don't know how to be with someone.
(Clara laughing)
All right, that looks fun, give it to me.
(Clara and Sasha laughing)
- He told, he told me he loves me.
(Clara and Sasha laughing)
- Sorry, that's not funny.
He should love you, that's great!
- I couldn't say anything back.
He said, "I love you", "I'm in love with you"
is what he said, and this is me.
(Sasha laughing)
I just wanted him to go away!
(Clara and Sasha laughing)
Isn't that awful?
- I love Vicky, but I often want her to go away.
(Sasha laughing)
I just, like more often than not.
And Aisha.
I love them, but I also kind of hate them.
(Clara laughing)
It's true!
They can be assholes.
And it's a pain to love them.
(Clara and Sasha laughing)
- I think maybe... maybe...
maybe I'm a bit too selfish.
- Oh, you're very selfish.
All we talk about is you.
Come on!
It's fine, my life's boring
and I love making fun of your life.
But jeez, you're very mean to yourself.
Come on, you met this guy the same time your mom died,
of course it's confusing and hard,
but just accept that he loves you.
Hey?
He loves you!
Despite your many, many flaws and faults
and you clearly love him.
- Then why do I feel shit?
(Sasha laughing)
- I don't know, 'cause sometimes you just feel shit.
It's love.
- Max hates me.
- What?
Buy him lollies.
- He's sixteen.
- All kids love lollies.
(Sasha laughing)
- Okay, yeah, I know.
It was absolutely hilarious,
but if you can put it in the report, that would be amazing.
Thank you.
Morning.
- No afternoon.
(Sasha laughing)
- I just got invited to my own wedding.
Someone posted it on the internet.
- I put it up.
It's from both of us.
- What, to everyone?
What happened to low-key?
- Oh, it's just to my friends.
- You can't, you can't put wedding invitations
on these things.
- There's no time to mail invitations, Glen.
- Yeah, but how will we know who's RSVP'd?
I mean, a whole bunch of strangers could show up.
- It's private.
They tick, "Yes", "No", or "Interested".
Hey listen, I looked up the twenty-five words or less page,
but there were no holiday prizes.
We don't really need a honeymoon, do we?
- Ah- - I mean, we just got back.
- [Glen] Yeah.
- [Anita] What's next on your list?
- Oh, um, oh, flowers.
- Okay.
I know this fantastic place that rescues flowers
when they've still got a day or two left from,
you know, restaurants and weddings.
I once got 12 bunches for 80 bucks, I'll send you the link.
- Okay.
Well that...
All right, food.
- Oh, there's this beautiful place on Smith street.
The food is delicious.
I'll download the menu and I'll send it to you.
And so, we can just get a whole bunch of different dishes,
you know, savory and sweet.
Ah, they do these stunning little single-serve sweets.
Oh my God, they are to die for.
And then all we need to do,
is just get some crispy bread and we're done.
- Yeah, but like, they're not wedding caterers, are they?
- No, they're culinary masters.
- Yeah, but that's, that's not what I um...
Okay.
All right, I'll get the cake organized.
- What, do we need a cake?
As well as the sweets?
- It's a wedding, Anita!
I mean, we need a wedding cake.
- Okay, yeah.
Well, you organize that.
That sounds good.
- I think you should probably wipe that up,
'cause it, it bakes in if you... if you leave it.
(soft music)
- Hi.
That's for you.
I...
So.
I know you're not crazy about me,
but we'll work that out.
And of course I'm going to give you all the time
that you want with your dad.
Hi.
- Hi.
- I just, I wanna say I'm really sorry about last night.
I'm so bad at this.
I guess it, it takes me a while to trust someone
and my mom died just when you came along, so,
our timing,
the timing of us has been really difficult for me.
I know I'm not an easy person to be with, but um...
I think maybe, I mean...
Maybe I'm ready to give this thing a real go
and actually see where it takes us.
So, yeah.
Say something.
- Has someone been eating these?
- Hey Max, um, can you give us a minute?
Do you wanna sit down?
- Mm-hmm.
- Yeah.
Um... thanks for all that.
I know that losing your mom has knocked you around
more than you wanna show.
But, I can't.
- What?
You don't wanna-
- No, I want to Clara,
but I'm not sure you do.
- Did you not just hear what I said?
- Yeah, I heard what you said,
I'm just not sure you, you did.
There are so many caveats.
"I think", "maybe" and "I might actually",
or "let's just see where this goes"?
I can't be with someone and it's really not fair to Max,
that "just wants to see where this goes".
And I'm afraid that you'll bolt the moment things get hard.
I'm sorry.
- Okay, yep.
All right.
- [Peter] Yeah.
- Goodbye then.
- [Peter] Yeah.
- Thanks for hearing me out.
(melancholy music)
- That sponge, that's my favorite.
That's so light and fluffy.
What did you think?
- Oh yeah, love the sponge.
- Sponge it is.
Right, when's the big day?
- Ah, Saturday.
- This Saturday?
- Yep.
- [Cake Chef] Oh no, we need at least six weeks
for cake orders.
- Oh, um, do you have anything
that, that, that could be ready?
- Fruit cakes.
We make them well in advance.
- All right.
Well yeah, fruit cake it is.
- You hated the fruit cake.
- Yeah, but we need a cake, Anita.
- Why don't we just go to the bakery?
- Because this isn't a party,
it's a wedding and you can't have a wedding
without a wedding cake!
Um, we'll take, we'll take the fruitcake.
- There you go.
(soft music)
- Ella, I think we need to stop.
I think you need to stop contacting me, okay?
It's getting stalky and I'm trying to move on.
- I'm pregnant.
- Fuck!
- Mm-hmm.
- Whoa!
(depressing music)
Fuck!
(Aaron screaming)
- [Clara] He got them back?
- Yeah.
Mom's things.
- Oh, that dress.
Why were we so mean to each other?
- Clara...
Ella's just told me that she's pregnant.
- Oh, wow.
And...
- She's sure it's mine.
- No, is she gonna have it?
- I guess I don't get any choice in the matter.
- No, you don't.
- It's a bit unfair though, don't you reckon?
It is my life, too.
- You had a choice, you didn't wear protection.
- Yeah.
- Just don't be a shit dad.
Okay?
Don't be absent, you'll regret it.
- [Aaron] Yeah, okay.
- You'll be great.
(soft music)
(Clara sobbing)
I'm so sorry.
I'm sorry.
- Where's the...
The sugar, sugar keeps moving around.
What...
- [Anita] Oh, it's in here.
- Oh.
- Oh, I love these.
Do you know these?
Pop-up concerts by candlelight.
They do them in old, abandoned buildings and churches.
- Do you have to have your feet on the table?
- Beg your pardon?
- It's generally considered a bit,
you know, to have your feet on the table.
- Well, it's not considered, "wa-wa", in this house.
What's wrong with you?
Well, you seem...
it's almost since you asked me to marry you,
you've been very uptight.
- I'm not uptight.
- [Anita] You're certainly behaving differently,
to how you were before.
- Well...
Well we were on holiday.
- So, what that wasn't you?
- No, that was me.
Right, it's just there's...
there's no, you know, in your house.
- No what?
- Order!
Sorry.
- What the hell does that mean?
- Well, that is, the way you do things.
I mean, I mean, I just don't know
how you keep track of anything, right?
The invitations for example.
I mean, your friends clicking "Interested".
What does that, what does that mean, "Interested"?
- It means they're interested in coming.
- Yes, but are they coming or not?
I mean, how do we seat interested people?
- They sit on seats.
If there aren't enough seats, they can stand up the back,
we can drag in more seats.
- Exactly.
- There's no system at al, it's just ridiculous.
- What's so I ridiculous now?
- Well look, if you think this chaotic approach
to everything can work, yeah.
- Oh, I dunno what's going on.
This is me, Glen.
I'm not Christine and I'm not you.
I'm not gonna apologize for that.
Right now, you're just being mean.
I'm not gonna fight like this.
- Oh.
Oh God.
- So, why are you marrying her?
- Because she makes me...
I feel different with her.
Lighter.
More spontaneous.
- Well, yeah.
You're not being very spontaneous now, are you?
(soft music)
- [Ultrasonographer] Good, strong heart.
- Can you, um, can you tell who the father is?
- Um...
- Sorry, no, obviously... obviously not.
Just forget I said that, sorry.
- I cannot fucking believe
- that you asked that. - Wait.
- Ella.
I wasn't thinking,
- Okay? - Yeah,
- of course you weren't fucking thinking.
- You know, this is hard for me, too.
- Oh, there it is.
You know, it only took you one day
to make it about yourself.
One day!
- No, that's not what I'm doing.
- Yes it is.
And you know what?
It's obviously yours.
I'm a hundred percent sure,
but you are so more than welcome
to get a fucking paternity test, or whatever when it's born.
- I'm sorry.
I mean, that was intense, wasn't it?
I mean... the heart.
I wanna do right thing.
- What does that mean?
- It means I wanna be there for you and the baby, okay?
I, I don't wanna be a shit dad.
Maybe...
I dunno, maybe...
we could try again.
Can't we?
I mean ...
- No.
You need to chill out.
- [Aaron] What?
- No, because that's not what you want,
you're just, you're overwhelmed or something.
- I'm not.
- I just- - Yes you are.
- Aaron, I wanna co-parent with you.
I don't wanna get back together.
We're too different.
We don't work, you know this.
(melancholy music)
Okay, I'm gonna go.
- Okay.
- Bye. - Bye.
(melancholy music)
- Hi, Kevin didn't pick up his birthday cake
from the bakery, so I thought we could use it.
I'm so sorry about being, you know.
Thank you for not putting up with it,
I, I really love you.
Will you still have me?
- Come here.
(Anita laughing) (soft music)
Kevin!
- The lights are all up.
The flowers, the cake.
It's not, it's not traditional.
It's a very low-key affair,
although we are spending the night apart,
so there is a little bit of tradition, but um...
- [Clara Voiceover] Wow, that's fun.
- Yeah.
Um,
I just sent you something through though, on email
and I was wondering if you could read it?
- Now?
- Yeah and at, at, at the ceremony, tomorrow.
- Oh Dad, I don't know if I'm the right person to-
- No, you're the only person I,
I want to read at the wedding.
And it's just a small passage
and it would mean the world to me.
- I mean, yeah, yeah, yeah, I'll, I'll read it.
- Darling, thank you, thank you, thank you,
thank you so much, thank you.
I've sent it through on email.
- Okay, yep.
- Okay, all right. - All right.
- [Glen Voiceover] All right, thank you.
- Okay, okay, bye, get some sleep.
- Yes, I will.
Okay, bye darling.
- Bye-bye. - Bye.
- [Glen Voiceover] Bye, bye-bye.
- Bye.
