- [Margot] Morning.
- Hey Margot.
You forgot to pay the rent last week.
What's going on, eh?
- No, I paid last week. Not this week.
So can I give you two weeks next week-
- Margot, you've not paid your rent.
What you gonna do about it?
- I don't know, what do you want?
- Well, we can come to an understanding.
- Okay, go ahead.
- Right, you can do the cleaning
and the laundry, a bit of cooking, okay?
- Yeah. Cool, fine.
- Don't be late with your rent next week.
Okay?
- I won't.
- Okay.
I always heard that French girls slept in the nude.
Must've been a myth, eh? [laughs]

Open the door, Margot.

Margot, we need to talk about your rent.

Margot.
[lock clicks]

Open the door, Margot.
We need to talk about your rent again, Margot.
[knocking]
Margot, open the door now.
I know you're here, open the door now.
I can tell you're in there.
Margot, open the door.
Margot, I'm not angry. Now open the door.
Come on, we just, we need to talk.
[knocking]
Margot, just open the door. Come on, love.
I can get the key, Margo. Hurry up.

- All that sort of stuff was going on inside him,
it wasn't patently obvious to his parents
you know, that he was suffering to that degree.
- What Jimi needed was some very
practical strategies to help him,
and that's what I focused on,
- [Woman] Two years into it, by the end of it,
when it was at its worst, he'd get in the shower
in the morning to go to...
- Hey, it's me.
- [Chad] Hey, hon.
- Hey, have um, have you seen my laptop?
- No, I haven't seen your laptop.
- [Carol] You know, I thought I left it
in the hall this morning.
- You lost your stuff and you want me to find it?
You can use mine if you want, honey.
- [Carol] No, I need to use mine
because it's got all my documents on it.
I need to send this email like right now.
- I don't know where it is.
Have a look in the loo.
- Why the fuck would it be in the loo?
- [Chad] Well, I was watching the Simpsons.
My battery's flat on my one, okay.
We should share things for a change.
- Chad.
- [Chad] What's mine if yours and yours in mine, right?
- How was your day?
Did you call the plumber?
- Yeah, yeah. It's all sorted.
You all right?
- I got a call from mum.
- [Chad] Yeah? And?
- I've told you about my half sister, right?
- [Chad] Yeah, she's a crack head.
[Carol groans]
What about her?
- Well, it sounds like she's got herself in some trouble.
- [Chad] Mm-hm?
And?
- She wants me to help her out.
- [Chad] Right?
So? What does that mean?
- It means she wants to come and stay.
- Here?
With us?
What?
Why?
- [Carol] She just fucks everything up.
- Yes. [stove clicking]
She is your sister.
- Half sister.
- Okay. I'm going for a smoke.
- You said you were going to quit.
- Yeah, I will. Tomorrow.
[soft acoustic music]
- Well, where are you? Why can't you care for her?
Ah, okay, so you go on holiday in the Coromandel
and you leave me to deal with her.
Nice.
Yeah, well, I know that I'm sister,
but she's a fucking mess
and I can't deal with her right now.
[sighs]
Yeah.
Look, I'm on my way to see her now, so it's fine.
Yeah. Love you, too.
♪ For me it was the end ♪
♪ We knew that day was ♪
- Hey, sister!
Hey!
- How do you do?
- Thanks.
- Well you look like shit.
- You too. [laughs]
Are you still the same, aye?
Wow.
- So what's going on?
- You know- - No, I don't know.
The last time I saw, you were having a nice night out.
Well, that's what I thought.
Next thing I know,
can't find you, can't find my handbag,
and you have gone off with a crack head.
That was what? About a year ago?
I didn't even know if you were still in the country.
- Surprise.
It's okay, sis. I'll get you a new handbag.
Aw, thank you.
They are delicious.
You want a pizza, sister?
- So mum called.
What's going on?
[Margot sighs]
What do you want? - I don't want anything.
Like it looks so painful for you.
If it's like that, I'd rather sleep in the streets, okay?
- Oh yeah, okay.
You go to sleep in the street.
I'm really going to let you do that,
because I'm such a really big mean sister.
I really need to see you suffer to exist. Huh?
You are such a drama queen.
- Okay, you calm down.
All right?
So...
Is it all good?
- No.
- What?
- [Carol] Ask me.
- Ask you what?
- Ask me.
If you want to come into my life,
if you want to come into my house and use my things, ask me.
Don't go and ask mum.
Got it?
- Carol.
Fuck off.
Okay.
Can I please stay at your place?
- Better start.
- Can we go now?
I need a shower.
- No.
What have you been doing?
Where have you been sleeping? What's going on?
- Can we just, like, not do that now?
Please?
- You're such a mess. [chuckles]
You always have been.
- Please, Carolita.
You've always been such an example for me.
I need you right now.
Please.
- Okay. Let's go.
- Okay, let's go.
Hey, hey. Do you have a bathtub?
- Seriously?
- Um...
I'm a bit short today.
- Ugh, Margot!
- I'll give you money back.
- [Carol] Yeah.
- Promise.
[soft acoustic music]
Bye, handsome.
[soft acoustic music]
That's okay, I can do it.
- Here, let me help you. - No, that's fine.
Do I have to take my shoes off?
- No, just leave them on.
- Oh my god, I'm so excited to see your house.
Do you have a dog?
- Okay, look just, just calm down, okay?
And just try not to touch anything.
- Oh, but things are meant to be touched
otherwise they go away because they get bored.
- Oh, that's really poetic.
- Oh, did I tell you about my street poetry teacher?
Oh my god, he is so good.
You'd love him.
[chuckles]
Oh, he said that I had a beautiful voice
and that I should sing, but you know me, I'm too shy, so...
[laughs]
And we had this thing going on together for a while
but, you know, it didn't work out.
- Oh, let me guess he was married and he forgot to tell you?
- Is this is your house?
You got interesting furnitures.
- It's Uncle Ivan's.
We're just staying here until
we can afford a place of our own.
- Oh, okay.
Well...
You've got a guy? Oh, tell me.
Is he cute? - Yeah.
And he's with me.
- Oh, thank you, but I'm not a slut.
- Yeah, well you stole one of my boyfriends.
Do you remember? [Margot chuckles]
- The one in London?
We were like 12 or something.
- I was 19 and I was in love.
So I see that you remember.
- Hey.
I wanted to tell you thank you for helping me.
I really appreciate it.
- I'll show you your room.
- Yeah. That's lovely.
I'm going to love it here.
- Okay.
So get yourself settled in
and then sort your life out, okay?
I'm not a babysitter.
I'll be in the kitchen if you need me.
[soft, quirky music]
[birds chirping] [soft, acoustic music]
- [Margot] 10 years they've together.
- [Carol] Really?
- [Margot] They're moving to Majorca.
- [Carol] Oh, I would love to go to Majorca.
- [Margot] Oh, I know, paradise.
- Is it? - Yeah.
- I didn't know that. - So good.
- Hey.
Margot?
- Oh. - Finally we meet.
- Hey, babe. - Hi, Chad.
That's my brother-in-law.
Nice to meet you. [chuckles]
- Hey babe.
How was work?
- It was fine.
So, um, this is Margot and she's going
to be staying with us for a few days.
- Yeah. - Yeah.
Yeah, I got that.
- So you worked today?
- [Chad] Yeah.
Yeah, Cindy wanted to swap again.
She was hung over.
- What do you do?
- Uh, I'm an ambulance driver at the hospital.
- Saving lives and shit?
- He only brings people in and out.
- [Chad] Oh, it's pretty sweet.
- So she comes to dad's birthday party smashed, okay?
So she arrives, she picks up grandma's dog
in front of grandma, throws it into the pool,
because she thinks it's a dragon.
[laughing]
- The world got amazing improvement
in like music and arts in the 70s because of acid.
Your wife. So narrow-minded.
[Carol laughs] Yeah.
- Oh-ho here we go. - My wife?
- Yes, again.
Yes.
She always wants me to think like her.
[Carol scoffs]
Yep.
Okay, guys, poets.
They used to write on absinthe, all right?
Henri Micheaux, he was writing on mescaline.
Hendrix?
Playing on acid.
And Jim Morrison, he thought he could use
shamanism in his music to heal people.
Like honestly, in a few centuries,
I'm sure this is going to be like basic knowledge.
But for now, like, for now, we're persecuted.
Like the people don't understand us.
- Great.
Now you're on a mission to save the world.
[Chad laughs] - No!
I'm just trying to be a good person.
[Carol laughs]
And especially, and have an open mind.
- Exactly, so, you know, you're really into art and shit.
- No.
She's into fucking musicians.
- Oh.
- Yeah, well, yeah, I used to draw and paint.
- Yeah, when you were like eight.
- Oh, I think you should do more of it
'cause I think it probably helps you.
- No, I'm not good.
I should do something better...
- No, no, no, you should take acid
and have a poetic vision and save the world!
- Oh fuck off, Carol.
Why do always have, like, to break my spirit like that?
- Yeah.
Well you know what?
You need to accept your life
because there's a lot of people out there
who every day go and work their shitty jobs
to pay their stupid rent for their shitty little flats
because they've got no other choice.
And you know what?
There's nothing wrong with that.
- Why don't you never dream?
Like, oh, fuck. I just can't.
I just can't do it.
But, Carol, it doesn't mean I'm going to be
like a homeless prostitute
and I'm going to end up in a gutter.
I just, I want to be happy.
I'm sure you want to be happy, too.
- Right.
Oh, we've got that in common then.
- Yeah.
- I think that's enough for tonight. Eh?
[Chad laughs]
You know what?
I agree with you both.
- Oh, Chad.
Ugh.
[kisses]
- Can I grab a smoke?
- Mm.
- Want one? - Mm.
- Want one, sister?
- What? I don't smoke.
- She didn't always say that.
- What?
Ooh.
She liked the little smokies, huh?
- In London.
- Oh stop it.
Everyone's tried it,
it's just the weak ones who can't stop.
Isn't that right?
- Don't know about that.
I'm doing fine. How about you, Margot?
- Mm.
[blows]
I'm great. It's so good.
- So good.
- Okay, fine.
Just, just give me one. - What?
No, no shiny ones.
No, no, no.
- Oh, stop it! - No, no, no.
No, no. Here, here, here.
- Come on, you're like stupid little kids.
[grunting]
Come on. - Give it to me!
- Come on, come on.
Pass them on!
- [Chad] Smoke 'em, smoke 'em!
Smoke 'em all so she can't have them.
[laughing]
[yelling]
[Chad laughs]
[Carol coughs]
[soft music]
- So is it good?
- It's disgusting.
- No, I mean laughing.
[Carol laughs]
- Hey girls, I just got this one rule, all right?
No kissing on my chest.
- Shut up, Chad.
You're ruining all that stargazing shit.
- My bad.
[soft electric rock music]
[snoring]
[alarming beeping]
[Chad sighs]
- Chad?
[Chad groans]
What are you doing?
- I'm just...
You know.
It's been such a long time.
Don't you miss it, honey?
- Chad.
- I'll be quick.
We can be real quick.
- Yeah, I know.
- Eh?
Fine.
[Chad sighs]
[Carol sighs]
[Margot speaks in foreign language]
[Chad mumbles] - Sorry.
- Chad, did you have to do that? Seriously?
- How was I supposed to know, hm?
- And can you put something on?
- I'm done, you can go.
- Hey, I was first.
[Chad sighs]
- Was the bed comfortable?
- Mm, so good.
- Was it? - Morning, Chad.
- Thanks for using all the hot water, girls.
Love me a cold shower.
So Margot, what are you up to today?
- Mm, well, I'm going to go for a walk and think.
- That's awesome.
And um, think about what?
- You need to have a plan Margo
'cause you can't stay here forever.
- Give me a break.
I've been here like 13 hours or something.
- No, I mean that you need to not waste your time.
You need to work at what you want.
Get some clarity and structure.
- You know what?
She's gonna be a thinker.
You know, like the great statue.
- Stop that, dick. I'm trying to be serious.
- I, I am. I'm sorry.
You could be like one of those weird guys on the street,
you know, where people give them money.
They're like a statue and people give them money
so that you can think and earn money.
It's brilliant.
[Carol laughs]
- Just shut up now, Chad.
- Geez, you're not fun in the morning, Carol.
I'm going for a cigarette.
- But you said that you were gonna quit.
- [Chad] Oh, did I say I was gonna quit?
- So, what do you do?
Do you have a job?
- I have a few.
- Like what?
- Mm, last one doesn't really count.
It was temporary.
I was dog-sitting.
- Oh.
Well, sounds nice.
What about studying?
- Mm, like sitting in a room, listening to someone all day?
Nah. Get bored.
- Well you could get a job outside.
Like on a farm. Then you'll never be inside.
- No, I like the city too much.
Like I love noise, people, bars.
- Then work at a bar.
- I don't think that's a good idea.
- Do you think you drink too much, or?
- Well, I tried to quit alcohol
and then I found a job as a barmaid
and I really thought I was, you know, strong enough
but it didn't work out.
- [Carol] Oh. The job?
- No, the quitting.
- You could get a job in a restaurant.
That'd be perfect because it's nice and social
and the pay is not too bad.
- I know. You just sound like my mum.
- Fuck you, Margot, I'm only trying to help.
You can't just come into my life without any kind of plan.
Do you even have any money?
How long are you gonna stay for?
It's complicated enough, you know.
- What do you mean?
- Nothing.
- Well, I'm happy to see you.
That's my plan for now.
I just need some sun and happiness to grow, like a flower.
- Here's the plan,
you're allowed to stay here for one month.
One month exactly.
And as soon as that one month is up,
you are moving back to your old life
and you're going to make us all proud of you.
Deal?
- [Margot] Deal.
- Deal.
Is that your plan?
You're not gonna build a meth lab?
- Shut up, Chad.
- Shut up.
[Chad sighs]
- Oh God, I've got to go.
I can't be late with those sharks at work
trying to get me fired.
- Wait, wait. I'm going to come with you.
- Okay, well, hurry up.
- Where are we going?
- Don't know, but I'm going to walk and think.
- [Carol] We leave in five.
- [Margot] Coming!
[soft acoustic music]
[soft vocalizing] [soft, upbeat acoustic music]
- Hey Margot.
Look, you need to give me a ring back.
I need to speak to you urgently. Come on.
Now please give me a ring and I'll speak to you soon, okay?
Thank you.
[women speaking in foreign language]
Where's Margot?
- Um, I think she just slept over.
She was in a party last night, isn't it?
- Mm-hm.
- Come on girls.
Tell me where Margot is. Where is she?
- We don't know, but like, are you all right?
You look upset.
- Margot's not paid her rent, okay?
I really need to find her.
Now tell me where Margot is, please.
- If we knew, we would tell you. Just calm down.
- For fuck's sake, where's Margot?
- We have no fucking clue.
We haven't seen her. - Fucking relax.
- Oh for fuck's sake.
[speaks in foreign language]
- Man, fuck you.
- Well there's the tomatoes.
They've finished, now they need cleaning up.
The whole garden needs cleaning up.
Silverbeet.
We've eaten most of that. - Want some?
What are you watching?
- [Gardener] I don't use any chemicals, no.
- It's boring.
You want a drink?
- [Chad] No.
- [Margot] You should drink water, it's good for you.
- [Gardener] And I saw numerous
examples of this. [blowing bubbles]
[Margot sighs]
[sucking]
[blowing bubbles]
- So what do you do in your days off?
- Not much.
Just, just chillin'.
- You got any hobbies?
- Not really.
- Any friends?
- Yeah.
But...
You know, they work during the day.
- Do you exercise?
You should.
- What, do you mean like pumping to techno at the gym?
- Yeah.
You never get bored?
- No.
I'm good.
Lovin' it.
It's good.
- Well, you could still go outside and meet people.
Go for a walk.
- You know what?
I don't tell you how to live your life.
Can you just stop that?
- All right.
No need to get all shitty at me.
I just wanted to talk.
Last ciggy.
- Good.
So I gotta get some fags.
[women laughing]
[women cheering]
- Hey Chad, don't be mad.
I'm going to buy some ciggies.
[soft electronic guitar music]
- Hi.
- Hello, miss.
How are you?
- I feel like shit.
- That's nice.
How can I help you?
- Can I get a Choice Red please?
- Can I have some ID, please?
- Really? - Mm-hm.
- Okay. - You have some?
Let me have a look.
- I'm almost 30.
- Madam, you look like you're 16-years-old.
Was that Choice?
- Yes, please.
I take it as a compliment.
- Oh yes, indeed.
It is a compliment.
Choice Red, yes, here we go.
That'll be $22 madam.
- Here you go. - Oh here we go.
Thank you very much, madam. - Thank you.
- And you have a lovely day.
- Thank you, bye. - Take care, bye-bye.
- [Margot] Bye.
[phone ringing]
[soft electronic guitar music]
[phone ringing]
- Hey Chad, look it's me again.
I've just finished work
and I've got this really important work dinner tonight.
So um, can you please give me a call?
Can you organize food for yourself and Margot tonight?
I'm just gonna pop home.
I'll be home really soon and just pop out again, okay?
See ya.
You know, I think she's been into my makeup.
[Chad chuckles]
- You do like having here here, right?
I mean, she's actually pretty cool.
- Yeah, I don't know.
I mean, she's nice, but she's trouble.
She fucks everything up. She always does.
- You know what I think?
I think she looks like a clumsy little squirrel.
- Is that supposed to be nice?
- No, I just, I just think her face,
it looks like a cute little squirrel, you know?
When you look at her, actually, she's kind of scared.
That's why she can't live, you know? She's terrified.
That's why she can't build anything.
- It doesn't sound like her at all.
- You know what else I think?
I think she admires you. [Carol chuckles]
- No she doesn't.
She just thinks I'm a grumpy old woman
who doesn't know how to have any fun.
- Mm-mm.
She admires you 'cause you're strong.
You know how to look after yourself.
- Well do you know what I think?
I think that you're unrealistic
and I also think that you like her too much.
- [Chad] That is ridiculous.
Come here you grumpy old woman.
- Hey, don't.
You'll mess up my makeup.
- Now how come you're spending so long
making yourself beautiful, hm?
Who's it for?
- Don't be stupid, Chad.
You always react like a kid.
- Haven't done that for me in a long time.
Just wondering who you're wearing your sexy undies for
if it's not me.
- Yup, well if you're really interested,
I've got an important work dinner tonight
and I have to be killer.
I left you a message about it.
- Oh yeah. - So I might be home late.
Be nice to her.
- Mm. - Don't do anything stupid.
- Mm.
Go, killer.
Make sure you leave your phone on in case I need you.
You...
- Mm.
Man.
Yum.
You like cooking, no?
- Mm, no, not really.
- Mm, well it's good.
- Yeah.
- Seriously.
It's like being in Italy here.
Like you know, in an old restaurant by the sea.
The sound of, like, happy Italian people.
Seagulls.
Definitely no cars. Boats.
- Have you been to Italy?
- Uh, no.
But I'll go one day.
- It's just pasta.
- It's good.
- Hey, little Squirrel?
- Hm? - Pass me that pepper, please.
- Squirrel?
- Hm? - I'm a squirrel now?
- Its just a nickname.
- You know my ex, he used to call me Foxy.
I think it's for, like, Hendrix's song.
You know the song?
Of course you know the song.
♪ Bam bam bam ♪
♪ Foxy lady ♪
What did I do wrong?
- Hm? - What the fuck?
I need to fucking talk. - Okay, all right.
- That's obvious, right? - If you could just
calm down, all right?
I'm just, I'm not feeling comfortable.
- Why?
Why don't you like me?
- Hey, it's not that.
Jesus, you're so sensitive.
- Sensitive?
I just don't want to be like sitting in here in silence.
Like, I'm just, it freaks me out.
It's like someone's dead or something.
- [Chad] I'm not used to it, all right?
- To what? - I'm just not used to it.
You're so theatrical.
I, I don't know how to be myself, all right?
- But you can talk to me, as a mate.
Come on.
What can I do like to make you more comfortable then?
- You know what? We're going to start again.
Okay.
Let's go get a beer.
- You are such a character
and I really think you've got some issues.
Mum issues or something.
Oh, you know I was reading Freud, honestly-
- You know what, shut the fuck up.
Get the ciggies, let's go.
- Oh my god, Chad.
Chad, come back.
[Margot mumbles]
Chad.
- You ready?
Breathe.
Fire.
[Margot grunts]
[pinging]
- Yes, I killed Mr. Beville!
- Jolly good shot.
- Your turn now.
Take that.
Okay, now it's the attack of the dragons.
- Aye?
- Dragons. - Dragons?
- Yes, it's dragons now. - What are you
talking about dragons?
- Have you watched Game of Thrones?
- Yes, I've watched Game of Thrones.
- Honestly. - All right.
Ready? - Yeah.
Are you ready? - Yeah, I'm ready.
- Three...
Three.
Two, one, zero. [Chad grunts]
[glass shattering]
- Oh, shit!
[dog barking in the distance]
- Stop it.
Fuck.
[car door closes]
- Oh shit.
Fuck, fuck, fuck, fuck, fuck, fuck.
Here she comes, here she comes.
- Take that, take that, no, take that.
Honestly. - What do you mean take it?
You're the bad little squirrel.
It's not- - That's yours.
- What the fuck are you kids doing?
- Hey babe.
Hey, hey, how was your day?
- Did you have a nice dinner and stuff?
- Worst night ever.
[muffled screaming]
[sighs]
- Hey.
Here, here, here.
Have a beer.
Tell us what happened, okay?
All right, what happened? What happened?
- Well, I thought that that this night
was going to be my big night just to celebrate
all the work that I'd been doing with the clients,
but it turns out it was for the other girl at the office,
just this little girl who I hate,
who just runs around with her tits out all day.
- What a bitch.
- Well, I'm sure you were way better, honey.
- Anyway, I was a little bit upset
and I guess I drank a little bit more and more
and then I think I started getting
a little bit mean to her, like quite mean.
And next thing I know it was just
yelling, yelling and argue, arguing.
Now, here I am without a job because I just fucking quit.
- That's awesome.
[muffled screaming] I'm so proud of you.
Honestly, you didn't let them humiliate you.
- What? You quit your job.
Oh my god.
Well what are you going to do?
- I don't know.
I guess I'm just going to go in there tomorrow
and just apologize.
- Oh, no.
Let's celebrate.
You are going to smoke that.
[Carol chuckles]
- Yeah.
Yeah.
You know what, I just wanna smoke and drink and fuck.
- Yeah. - I'm down with that.
Okay, okay, okay. - Here we go.
Come on sister. That's awesome.
- Yeah?
- Cheers. - Hey look at us guys.
- Thanks bro.
- Yeah. Thanks, bro.
- Look at us.
We look like three flatmates.
- Do you like that?
- Yeah, I don't know. What do you think?
- I like that.
- Oh, can I have a shot?
- Mm-hm. - Yeah.
You go.
Come on.
Ready.
[soft electronic guitar music]
[soft rock music]
- You know what's funny?
Your sister gets all snobby when these friends come over.
It's always like, I don't know,
she's ashamed of me or something.
And I think you should watch out, Squirrel.
because she might be a little bit ashamed of you, too.
- Whatever, Chad.
I'm sure they're cool.
You know, you can be really negative, bro.
- Yeah, Chad.
- Yeah? - Yeah.
- Yeah, I know, I know.
I'm cool with that.
- Okay, kids.
Okay, everyone's going to have
a really good time tonight, okay?
We're going to be a very good family,
very well behaved and be very nice to our friends
who are coming especially to have dinner with us.
Okay, kids?
- Yes, mum.
[laughing]
[soft acoustic music]
[people chattering] [soft acoustic music]
[laughing]
- So where did you girls end up meeting again?
It was in France, right?
- [Margot] Yeah, it was in France, yeah.
[speaks in foreign language]
- She's good.
And then, fun times, I joined her in London
for about six months. - Yeah, that was about
the same as we met, babe.
- Yeah. - Mm.
- And how long did you end up there for?
- About two years. - Oh my god.
I was staying with dad at first and then traveling around.
It was my big OE.
- And when's yours, Chad?
- Hm? Me?
No, I'm, I'm good here.
I'm loving it.
- Oh, you don't know what you're missing out on.
I love to travel.
- We are off to Machu Picchu for our anniversary next year.
- Oh, that's awesome.
- I hear it's um, a little overrated.
[laughing]
- And where did you hear that?
- TV3. [laughing]
- Uh, Chad watches a lot of TV.
- Um, I'll have to send you some pictures
on Facebook then, mate.
- Hey, so Margot, how long have you been
living in New Zealand for now?
- [Margot] Um, about four years.
- Oh wow. And do you love it here?
- Yeah, yeah, I do.
I really do.
I understand why you guys love your country so much.
It's beautiful.
But there's some, like, European thing I miss.
- Like what?
- I feel like in Europe we express our feelings so much.
Like oh-uh-uh.
Maybe, maybe, like maybe too much, but I don't know.
I just, I kinda miss that.
- Yeah, we do things a little bit differently around here.
- Well, you know what they say,
a thought shared, a thought wasted.
- We don't really like to bother people with our problems.
- Don't just think it's good?
Like to talk about problems?
Like that's sharing, you know, and talking, you know?
- Yeah, yeah.
Yeah, I guess.
- Anyway, that dinner was amazing, guys.
It was so good.
- I'm just gonna go for a ciggy.
- Cool.
- Yeah, I'll take those plates, guys.
- Thank you. - I'll grab this.
- [Carol] Great. I'll share it happily.
- [Margot] Thank you.
[soft music]
- Oh God, yeah. It was so sad.
They had no idea.
- Yeah, I mean, it really could have been avoided.
He went over to his parents' house
simply because he wanted to talk to someone.
- And what? No one was there?
- Nope, they were all down at the pub watching the game
and so he just wandered on out to the barn and hung himself.
- [Carol] Oh.
- So he just needed to talk?
And no one was there.
- No. It's quite common in the rural areas.
It's just so isolated.
- I read that we have the worst suicide rate
in the world per capita.
- It's just so hard to believe, aye?
- I think that people just need to talk about it more.
- [Woman] Yeah.
- Hey guys.
I found some fireworks.
Let's blow them up.
[laughing]
- Chad. - Oh, Chad.
- [Chad] What?
Come on.
- No, I'm scared.
[Chad babbling]
[laughing]
- Boom, boom, boom. - Oh!
[laughing]
[sparklers buzzing] [rock music]
[fireworks popping]
- See you guys, goodnight.
- See you! - See you!
- Bye!
- See you guys!
Nice people. [Chad grumbles]
- You want a ciggy, Squirrel?
- Yes, please.
Thanks.
[insects buzzing]
Hey Chad? - Uh huh?
- Do you feel like you need to talk?
- Yeah, sure. What about?
- I mean, do you need to talk?
- Uh, we are talking.
You know, it's getting a little bit boring.
How about we go in the backyard
and let off some of those fireworks?
- I don't know.
I was just wondering if you had anything
you wanted to talk about.
- It's a bit annoying, Margot.
Stop it.
- You want me to stop? - Yeah.
- [Margot] Sure.
- I'm fine.
Okay?
Fine.
- You don't look fine to me.
- Are you kidding? I am fine.
No, you're not.
- Oh.
- Just say something.
- What...
What exactly is it that you want me to say?
- Maybe that you're scared, like all of us.
And maybe depressed.
- What? - What's going on, guys?
- Nothing.
We're just stargazing.
- Now you're doing that shit again.
- Oh, would you shut up, Margot?
- Chad. - What?
- I was trying to like talk about
what he's really feeling inside because I'm concerned.
I don't know.
I feel like, Chad, you're hiding something.
You know the depression stuff we were talking about today.
- You do so much talking.
- There's nothing wrong about talking
about your problems. - Yeah, well why don't you
keep your problems to yourself and leave me alone?
Okay?
- You just keep it all inside you, bro.
Fucking let it go, like...
We're family.
Sorry, I didn't want to be rude or anything, I'm...
- Are you okay, Chad? - Yes.
No, yes, no...
Sometimes I get a little bit down, okay? But I'm fine.
I'm fine.
- You know what? It's okay.
It's not my problem.

- Hi Joe.
- Hey Margot.
- Could you stop calling me and harassing me now?
It's kind of becoming annoying.
- Maybe it's time to fucking well come home so we can speak.
- Speak about what?
The fact that you're not old perv
and that you've been filming us in the shower?
- Margot, please bring the tape back
so we don't have to cause any trouble.
- Are you threatening me?
Really?
I don't care about your tape.
I just took it. I got, I got surprised.
I don't give a shit about it.
- Margot, bring the fucking tape back.
- I don't like the way you're threatening me, though.
You know what? We're going to do something.
If you really want your tape back,
you're going to have to give me some money.
Otherwise I'll send it to the cops.

You need to talk?
[chuckles]
Where's Chad?
- He's sleeping.
He's exhausted.
I'm so far from where I want to be in my life.
- Well that's because since you were a little girl
you've been planning all your life.
Just go with the flow.
Honestly, like...
- That's your talent.
That's what you're good at.
- You know that you've always expected far too much from me.

- Who are you?

I'm here to see Margot.
She's stayin' here, I reckon?

Uh, no. What?

She's staying here with Carol?

You're a mate of Carol's.
Carol is a friend of Margot, and I'm here to see Margot.
Can I see Margot?

Margot's friend, I'm a friend of Margot's.
I'm Joe and you must be, uh?

- Good to meet you, Brad. - Chad.
- Oh, sorry, Chad.
So I was wondering if I could just...
[Margot breathing heavily] [tense, dramatic music]
[Margot sighs]
[tense, dramatic music]
- Okay, I don't know Margot, so I'm just go-
- I'm a friend of Margot's
and that why I want to see her.
Margot, I just wanna have a word with you, love.
- No, I'm just gonna, I'm just gonna give Carol-
- Oh, no, no, no, no.
Come on, we're not gonna do that.
Where the hell is Margot?
Tell me now.
Where is she?
[tense, dramatic music]
Just tell me where she is.
Let's make it easy for everybody, eh?
- Uh...
- I'm here.
Leave him alone, Joe.
- Oh, hello Frenchie.
How are ya?
Nice peashooter.
Mine's a little bit bigger.
- Uh, Margot, is that my slingshot?
- Yeah. - You steal my slingshot?
- Maybe. - Oh-ho.
Thievin' again.
That's what got her in trouble in the first place, yes.
She's a thieving little bitch.
- Yeah, I like stealing stuff. And what?
Where is my money, Joe?
- Oh, I think I've got a gun.
- Money?
What, you stole from him, now you're blackmailing him?
Is that right?
- She's a bit of a thief.
- You're a liar.
Margot. - And a cheat.
- [Chad] Carol was right.
I trusted you.
- And?
- Oh, Margot.
- Tape? Happy?
- Thank you very much, eh.
No copies, is there?
- How do you do a copy of a VHS anyway?
- Fair enough.
Eh, and if you want to pick up your shit,
it'll be out in the curb tonight.
Before the bin men get it, preferably,
if you know what I mean.
- What is that? What's on that?
- Girls in the shower.
- Thank you for your hospitality.
You've been a gentleman and a scholar.
[Chad laughs]
- He's a perv? He's a pervert?
- You got trouble with that little man, eh?
[Chad yells]
[thudding]
- Look what you've done.
- Me? Bloody you.
- Chad.
- I'll get an ambulance.
- Chad?
[Carol breathing heavily]
- Oh my god. - Hi.
[Carol sobbing]
- Good evening.
- Is he going to be okay?
- Don't worry.
He's fine.
We'll just keep him here for tonight
and then hopefully he'll go home.
- Oh, Chad.
- Doctor, we need you in room 13.
When you're ready.
- I need to go.
The nurse will organize the appointment for tomorrow.
Good luck. - Thank you.

- Hey.
Margot.
- What's up Chad?
- You know, I'm gonna be a dad.
Can you believe that?
My god.
- I know. I know.
I'm so excited for you guys.
I'm so happy.
Sister.
Where's my sis? - She's sleeping actually.
She's pretty exhausted at the moment,
but she's, she's well.
Very excited and uh...
Yeah, what about you? How's Europe?
- Well, as you can see,
I live in house with a swimming pool, sea views.
I've got a great job.
Aye, I'm making it.
- Wow.
I'm so proud of you.
And hopefully you can come see the little one soon.
- Yeah, actually, I've been talking with dad.
I'm trying to convince him to come and visit you guys
because he needs to come and see his daughter.
- Yeah, okay.
Sure, yeah, I'm sure Carol would love this idea.
- Yeah, and, I've also been thinking,
but I need to check with my job because I'm manager.
so I've got responsibilities, you know,
but I'd like to come, too.
- Uh...
Wow. Oh, okay.
Okay, yeah, sure.
I mean, um, we should, we should talk
with Carol, yeah, I think.
- And you guys will have a bit of a couch, right?
You know, just to take me in for a few days.
- Ooh, no, I don't think so.
[laughs]
Of course you're welcome to come and stay.
But no parties. No craziness, all right?
