Hello!
Need a ride? Hey.
Hello, you two.
Have you got everything?
- Yeah. Okay. Good.
This was all, you know, a farm.
And here's the old farmhouse.
The kitchen and living room is down there.
But, you know, we mostly eat outside.
Wow. It's beautiful.
This isn't real.
I know.
Shall I show you your rooms? - Yep.
We're kinda spread out all over the place.
Everyone should be back soon
and, uh, we'll have lunch.
- Sounds good.
Frances, this is you.
The bathroom's just through there.
And--
Yeah, come out when you're settled.
- This is amazing.
Thank you. - Yeah.
- So cool.
- Don't worry, Bobbi. Your room is just as gorgeous.
I treat all my children equally.
- Good.
Bye. Bye.
I did not check the packet.
What does it say?
Yeah, six minutes.
Are you sure you should be the one making it?
Yes, I'm sure. I'm confident.
I've done this before. - Hey.
- Hi. - Hey.
- Have we? - Yeah, we just realized with Bobbi.
Melissa's birthday.
- Yes. - Evelyn. This is Derek.
- Hi. Again.
I'm Frances. Welcome.
Thank you.
Frances, I hope you're hungry.
Yeah.
- What are you reading?
- Oh. Um-- - Oh, fun holiday read.
- Yeah, well, I haven't got there yet,
but I've heard.
- Hey, Frances.
- Hey.
- Were you always this skinny, Nick?
- And how are you, Bobbi? I'm good.
How was your shoot?
Honestly, not great.
Oh? - Why?
- Oh, it's just long hours. Not much fun.
- Wait, so how do you guys all know each other?
Nick and I go way back.
Did a very serious play together.
- We were serious, the production was a joke.
- Ev kind of adopted me when I moved over.
- Aw. - Well, I didn't know anybody.
Did no one offer you wine, Frances?
Sorry, yeah. - Thank you.
Cheers. - Cheers.
- Your pot's boiling. - How embarrassing.
- Do you ever get tired of it?
Nah.
- So how bad's this crush?
On a scale of one to
how you felt about me in school.
- So one being a really big crush?
What about you and Melissa?
- What about us?
- You kissed her.
- Yeah.
- Think it could happen again?
- Who knows?
But... no.
It's the way they, like,
crouch on the ground
and lean on the table. Oh, God.
You know, and then rattle off the specials.
Say when.
Oh, look, look, here's one.
Here's one now where he doesn't look like salad.
Yeah.
Oh, he looks cute.
He takes after his father.
Hmm.
- What age is he?
Uh, 17.
- He's your son. Yes.
Eighteen in March.
- Oh, he's brilliant. He's very funny and he's kind.
- If only they could be born that way.
All self-possessed and lovely and 18.
- Tricky labor, though. Oh!
Oh, I'd say sore, yeah.
Oh. Ow.
Frances?
Good morning!
- Morning. - Hey.
- You ready? Hmm.
- Sit. - Two more minutes.
- What are you guys up to today?
- Uh, I actually have to do some work unfortunately.
Have you seen my shades?
- On your head. - Oh, okay.
- See you later. - Yeah, have fun.
- Bye. We will.
- Coffee?
- Sure. - Yes.
- Do you guys wanna do something today?
Take a drive, see some of the island?
- Yeah, let's do that. - Great.
- Thank you. - Mm-hmm.
- Thanks.
- I'm expecting some savage commentary on everyone soon.
- I'll work on it.
- You know, your whole silent thing
makes everyone think you're enigmatic and interesting.
Exactly that.
- What?
- You're thinking things and not saying them.
It's suspicious.
Yes.
Hey, guys.
Can I ask what you guys are digging?
- Nick?
Come on, let's get a picture.
Come on!
Okay. Okay.
So beautiful.
- You gonna get one? - Yeah.
- I'll grab it. Oh. Thanks.
- Nice.
Yep. Alright.
- There she goes.
- Is it very awkward that I'm on your holiday?
- No.
It's good to see you.
Really?
- Is it awkward for you?
- Extremely.
- Bobbi doesn't know?
- Um...
no.
- I'm sorry, by the way.
- For what?
For hurting my feelings?
- Sure. If you have any.
Hurting your feelings and the way that I handled things.
It's really good to see you.
I mean that.
That was incredible.
- Hey.
- Hello.
- Sorry. I just wanted to get a glass of water.
- Sure.
- So you're a midnight cleaner?
- Yeah.
Yeah. My room gets very warm.
Couldn't sleep.
- Me neither.
Is Melissa awake?
- Um, I don't know. Um--
She's in a different room.
- Oh, I see. Yeah.
Okay. Um--
Good night.
- Night.
- Yeah.
- I'll just be back. Okay.
- Dad? Is everything okay? DENNIS Frances?
Can you hear me?
Hello? Can you hear me? Yeah.
Dad, I can hear you, you don't need to shout.
The line is doing something funny.
- You know I'm away, right?
What?
- I'm away. Oh, right.
Where are you? - Croatia.
What are you doing out there, then?
- I'm on a holiday.
Holiday?
Good. Good for you.
Do you remember, do you remember when we used to get in the car
and go to France? Yeah.
Yeah, Dad, this isn't really the best time to chat.
Um, was there something that you wanted?
I-I didn't get to sort that roommate thing, yet, so--
No hassle.
I'll be talkin' to you soon.
- Okay. Thanks. Enjoy yourself.
- You okay?
- Yeah. I just needed a minute.
Um, my dad called earlier.
- Yeah?
- Yeah, um, he was drunk.
- He's actually drunk every time he calls me these days.
He's an alcoholic. - Right.
- Um, I mean, I don't really talk to him that much.
I'm not a very good daughter,
but, um...
he gives me money for college, so--
That's bad.
Isn't it?
- Is it?
- It just makes me feel complicit or something.
- In what way?
- I just wish I could figure things out on my own
so that he wouldn't have this sort of weird hold on me.
But I--
I don't even know how to do that, so.
- I guess for now it's the one fatherly thing that he's trying to do.
Sometimes people just like to feel needed.
- I know I sound horrible.
- You don't.
- Sometimes I don't even know if I love him, though.
Like, I--
I know that sounds unnatural
and he's my father, but, um--
It just feels really stupid
to have to love someone unconditionally sometimes.
Like, maybe there has to be conditions.
- Would you draw up a contract?
- That'll probably help.
There would be a lot of clauses.
- Hey. - Hey.
- I think I'm gonna go for a hike tomorrow if you wanna come.
- Yeah.
- It would be cool to do something, just the two of us.
- Sounds good.
- Are you having fun?
- Yeah.
Are you sure?
- Yeah. Yeah. Are you?
- Yeah. Good.
Okay, good night.
- Night.
You coming, Nick?
Nah, I think I'm gonna just hang here, actually.
- See you later then. - Bye.
- Anyway, I'm gonna go. I'd like to hear about it.
- Hear about what?
- Our time.
Frances?
I found a really nice trail if you wanna head in a while.
- Uh, would you mind if I stayed here?
- Really?
- I wanted to write for a bit, so.
- I thought we were gonna do something by ourselves today.
- I know. Is it a big deal?
- No. I'll leave you to it.
- Sorry.
- Hey, Frances. Hi.
- You didn't wanna go with Bobbi today?
- Um, I thought I'd try and write for a bit.
- Yeah. How's it going?
- Uh, not great.
Yeah.
- Don't put too much pressure on yourself, yeah?
If it's not coming, then
leave it for a bit.
- Thanks.
- Are you glad you came, Frances? Yeah.
Uh, thanks again.
- Yeah, it's, uh, it's good for us to have company.
I love it when the house is full, it's, uh--
And Nick does too.
He was pretty wrecked when he got here,
and he's perked up a bit, so.
It's good. It's good to see.
- See you later anyway.
Hey. How was it?
- Yeah, it was good.
Any luck with the writing? - Not really.
I should have just gone with you.
- Yeah, you should have.
That sounds okay, does it?
Yeah.
You wanna give it a go?
You good? Alright. Yeah.
Uh--
Yes. Okay.
It is my turn. It's your turn.
- Okay.
Uh, two.
Lucky card. - Um--
Fuck you. Yes.
Okay. I'm going to--
Uh, my husband to have a drink.
- No, you have to take the little man off every time you drink.
Fucking little man. - I don't get the little man.
Oh, okay, okay.
You take, uh, you take little man off--
Now you drink. - Sound effects.
- Good!
Yeah!
And then you put it back.
Mm-hmm.
- Good job, Nick. - Nah, no names!
Oh, drink. Drink now.
No names!
- Drink. - Drink, drink, drink.
- Okay, um, little man off.
- Mm-hmm. - Right.
Well, see? Your wife gets it. Mm-hmm.
Okay, every time someone forgets the little man,
they have to kiss the person on their left.
Don't forget on purpose, Nick.
Oh, name, name, name!
- Fine, fine, fine. - Yeah, thank you.
I almost got a finger.
But I didn't point.
I used my elbow.
I took my hand off my shoulder momentar--
Thought you wanted nothing to do with me.
- I thought the same about you.
I mean, even before I wasn't sure if it was what you wanted.
You don't always seem that enthusiastic.
If there's things that I'm doing wrong, then just--
- You're not doing anything wrong.
It's me.
I'm just awkward.
- Okay, well, me too.
- Obviously.
- Frances.
- Yeah?
- I want you so much.
Okay.
