Previously on Queen of Oz... Jessica Bramer.
How do you even remember me? She was one of the girls at school
who used to bully me. They used to throw sweets and oink at me.
"You'll never be queen. You're too fat to be queen."
"Fatty, fatty, queen, queen."
- SHE EXCLAIMS, DOG YAPS - Oh!
Teddy... Should I call you "daughter"?
- Ma'am? Oh! - SHE EXCLAIMS, DOG YAPS
"Koala ears". That's what she used to call me.
That's a cute nickname. How about Princess Pubes?
That's not so nice.
This is all your fault. "Talk to her, you'll feel better.
"Trust me." That's what you said.
Yeah, talk to her, not verbally induce labour.
The baby's coming. Oh, my God. Can I smell urine?
I'm not urinating! Well, someone's urinating.
Stop saying "urinating"! Oh! It's crowning. Argh!
I'm about to marry a man I don't love. Wow.
Throw into the mix the headache of choosing which crown to wear
and you can see why I'm such a mess.
GEORGIANA LAUGHS And it wasn't the first time anyway.
LIGHT POLITE LAUGHTER
Rebecca?
So I'm sure you'll find Australia is a business friendly,
highly globalised economy
with bountiful natural resources and seamless access
to the Asia Pacific market.
It's a very exciting time for the microchip industry
and we are confident Australia will be the ideal location
for you to open your new factory.
That's our pitch.
Can I get an amen?
Inappropriate.
Look, I'll be frank with you, ma'am.
It's down to you and Switzerland. Switzerland?
Lazy people.
Far more interested in yodelling and hoarding Nazi gold
than they are in working.
SHE CHUCKLES
And how has your tour of Australia been so far, Mr Frusctaine?
WHISPERED: Stop it.
I have to say that, for a first world country,
I expected Australia to be a little less, let's say, rugged.
Ah... Oh, John, don't be fooled by our majestic terrain.
We're a thriving, contemporary, high-tech country.
So's Switzerland, without being covered in red dirt
and ridiculous animals.
Shots fired, sir.
There is no such thing as a ridiculous animal,
although the numbat does slightly undermine my argument.
LAUGHTER
I would hate for you to fall for the trope that Australia
is a primitive backwoods wasteland.
STRAINED: For God's sake, what is the matter with you?
What?
SHE SCREAMS
THEY ALL YELL
Oh, my...!
HE SCREAMS
It's OK, it's OK...
Queen Georgie once again hitting the headlines today.
JONESY: We need investment in this country.
I just feel that she's let us down
and, you know, like, it's a snake! It's a snake.
We've all had snakes on the dinner table.
It's very unfortunate what's happened.
Embarrassment, totally.
Probably the less I say about that one, the better.
RADIO HOST: She finally had a chance
to do something good for our economy,
and she just couldn't control a snake? What?!
I think that she's just a regular old lady who is trying to do
her best and everybody's a little bit out for her.
Ginge and minge.
Whinge, sorry. Whinge.
Pain in the arse.
Uh...
Have you seen this?
Hmm?
"Big deal SNAKED by Swiss." Har-har.
While I'm trying to drum up business for this backwoods wasteland.
Meanwhile, we'll probably get a couple of wombats
shitting in the bed tonight. They come out in cubes.
What? Wombats, their faeces come out in cubes. Interesting fact.
In no way is it. And never use the word faeces round me again.
You know what this is?
Um... My idea of hell.
It's Nepal. I was thinking we could honeymoon there.
Oh, do stop.
All anyone talks about lately is wedding arrangements.
Matthew's been titting about with the seating plan for over a week.
It is approaching. Yes, like an oncoming train.
There's this great volunteering programme where you get to
help teach families sustainable agriculture.
I'm sorry, have we met?
We can make a big difference. Yes, by writing a big cheque!
Come on, it'd be great. Just the two of us.
No press, really getting our hands dirty.
The only dirty thing I want touching my hands right now is a martini.
I can think of... one other dirty thing.
No, I'm done here.
I'm done talking about honeymoons,
I'm done talking about wedding plans. I just...
I just want to be left alone.
We need to talk wedding dress.
I'm going to kick you in your throat.
ROYAL ORCHESTRAL MUSIC PLAYS
Shit.
Shitter.
Shittest.
Spoke too soon.
Hold on - you think I'm a bridal jacket age?
Anabel suggested that, Your Majesty.
It has nothing to do with your age.
It's about hiding your body flaws.
My body flaws. Obviously, not all of them.
But you can't get married in a burqa, can you?
Next.
Now, this one's my favourite.
Well, that would usually disqualify it immediately,
but that's actually not bad.
And it would be a great PR win for us because that dress is made
out of recycled materials.
It's made out of rubbish? No, ma'am, recycled materials.
They get reprocessed into new fibres and then spun
into a gorgeous new fabric. So it's made out of rubbish?
At least consider it, ma'am.
You have a massive platform. Rude!
Just by wearing a recycled dress, you're helping save the planet.
Oh, give it a rest, Zoe.
Planet's fine. Actually, it's not, is it?
Let's face it, it's melting before our eyes,
so, yeah, absolutely. Why not?
Why not get married in a dress made of decomposing flip-flops?
Count me in. And while you're at it, knock me up a little bridal jacket
out of an old mattress. Can't wait!
Oh. A moment of your time, ma'am.
Is this about the wedding? No. What is it about?
The after-wedding reception. Now, would you like your guests
to have the choice...
MUFFLED ATTEMPTED SPEECH
I can do this all day.
And FYI, Ryan Reynolds is a hard no.
Ma'am. I finally finished the seating chart.
It took me absolute weeks...
SHE SIGHS
DOG GROWLS
DOG YAPS
UNDER HER BREATH: Oh...
God.
SHE SCREAMS
Sorry... You startled me.
I can only imagine the shock of someone slowly turning round.
What are you doing out here?
It seems there's still a lot to be done before the wedding.
Yes, Sylvia, there is.
Ah...
I just... need a moment.
To myself.
I see.
How did you sleep?
What? I was just wondering how you slept last night.
Why do you care how I slept? Oh, no particular reason, no.
Then why do you ask? I was just wondering how you slept.
Are you secretly writing a tell-all about me?
SHE LAUGHS
Teddy said you had a wicked sense of humour.
SHE CHUCKLES
Think you'll sleep well on your wedding night?
Your Majesty?
SYLVIA EXCLAIMS
Oh...
Do excuse me for interrupting.
No, do, please - interrupt.
The Prime Minister is waiting for you, ma'am.
Is she? Of course she is. Excellent.
And also, what a shame we can't continue this little chat.
Shall we have lunch after? Teddy won't be back until late.
We can talk wedding make-up so you don't look so ruddy.
- FORCED CHUCKLE - That's a great idea.
She kept asking me how I slept. Who does that?
Is that what real families do? Thank God mine rarely speak to me.
My wife takes great interest in how I'm enjoying my tea.
Every bloody sip.
I didn't realise we had a safe word for when Sylvia gets too boring.
Ma'am? "Prime Minister"?
Nice work. Oh...
Oh, no. No, no, no, no, no.
Good afternoon, Your Majesty. Shit!
Shit, shit, shit, shit!
Ma'am?
IN AUSTRALIAN ACCENT: Ah, no, love... Sorry, er... Er...
Ya... Mrs... Your... Your... worship.
I know it's you.
Nah, what?
Shut up!
Nah, the Queen's not here...
Well, she's here, but, you know, I'm not her, so you can...
You know, you should probably... So... So...
IN NORMAL ACCENT: You were supposed to be a safe word!
I am not doing this today.
Oh, no. No, no, no.
Safe word. Safe word! No!
- No way. - DOG YAPS
That girl needs a good night's sleep.
This is why I'm a Republican.
CAR ENGINE STARTS
We're leaving. What?
Where? Anywhere that isn't here.
Ma'am...
We can't take you off the grounds
without setting up security protocols in advance.
I'm getting this car and driving off with or without you.
And FYI, I don't know how to drive,
so you can either... drive me...

you can stay here and...

Good question. Anywhere we go, there's a security risk.
Oh, lighten up. No-one wants to kill me.
I can think of at least one. I can take care of myself.
With respect, ma'am, when you saw a cockroach in your room,
you asked if I could, quote, "burn Macquarie House to the ground"
"and make it look like an accident." And if you know of a better way
to get rid of a cockroach, I'd love to hear it.
MUSIC CONTINUES ON RADIO
You're not as angry with me as you're making out.
Oh, yeah? What gives you that idea?
This business.
It's called a tell.
It's called an itch. Mm-hm.
In the wild, scratching your neck means you want to be groomed.
It's a sign of affection.
Right... Well, in this case, it's just a sign of a mozzie bite.
Sorry to disappoint you.
Makes no difference to me.
Tell it to David Attenborough.
He's the one who keeps banging on about it.
Look, if you're just going to sit there seething, I can drive myself.
Except you don't know how to drive.
I can figure it out. Really? Which one of these pedals is accelerator?
That's a trick question. There's no such thing as an accelerator.
Oh, but there is. Yeah, I know, it's the one on the right.
Wrong. Correct, because it's the one on the left.
Incorrect, cos it IS the one on the right. Mm...
QUICKLY: Who am I, who am I, who am I?
NASALLY: Incorrect, because it IS the one on the right.
I actually thought it was in the middle.
This is bullshit! There's 1,000 more details to be signed off on
and she just decides to take the rest of the day off.
I believe that's called being a sovereign. It's not cool!
We've been working our arses off for weeks on this.
And I believe that's called "having a job".
Hold on, are you all getting paid for this?

We're here. And "here" is where?

So the beginning of every true-crime docu-series.
No, the current here would just push your corpse right back on shore.
Further up the beach would do the trick. Comforting.
My family's owned this place since I was a kid,

You were on the email chain! That's today?
Hey, bud, you said you were working.
This is most certainly work, Dad. What's everyone doing here?
WEAKLY: Hey. Surprise... Surp... Surprise.
I had no idea! Um, do we have a paper towel or something?
I think Uncle Cliff just got shot.
I'll go get one... Hey... Cool!
Shit. Sorry, Uncle. Don't worry, mate. It's just a scratch.
It'll give me something to talk about at the RSL.
I'll be right with you, ma'am.
Who are ya talking to? The Quee...
Ah, shit.
Where are you going?
You may have noticed, but happy family time isn't quite my thing.
Please, ma'am, you don't know what you're doing.
Says the man who just shot a pensioner?
What's going on, bub?
I've got to get back to work, Mum. Come on. Just ten minutes, please?
I miss my little Marcy Marc.
You just shot your Uncle Cliff. The least you could do is check on him.
Ten minutes, not a minute longer.
Thank you, ma'am. Oh, don't thank me. The pleasure's all mine,
little Marcy Marc.
Hey, hello. Hey, hello.
Oh, this smells good.
Oh, my boy! Hey, Mum.
Aw... Don't shoot!
Hey, Dad. Son.
And who's your little friend?
Mum. Mate, you've done well for yourself.
Oh, Dad! Frank! What?! It's a compliment!
Hi, I'm Ruth, Marc's mum.
Hello. Aw, come here. Oh, Mum... Um, Mum. Mum, don't!

Very well, thank you.

Can you even imagine how I feel about drinking games?
SINGSONG: Boring!
OK. Matthew's go.
Um, never have I ever...
lied to anyone in this room.
Wait, what?
You guys haven't lied to me, have you?
THEY SPLUTTER, LAUGH
OK, never have I ever slept with someone
and then immediately regretted it.
Oh, my God. Who? Ew, so many.
But the most regretful was my cousin Barton.
Your cousin? Distant, I hope.
Oh, God, yeah.
He barely looked at me.
Uh, never have I ever fantasised about slapping the Queen so hard
that she bites her tongue off, it falls onto the floor,
Clint eats it, and she's never able to speak again.
Wow, that's specific.
THEY LAUGH
I am appalled by this boorish and malevolent behaviour.
You've all sunk to a new level of disrespect
that I will not be party to any longer.
THEY LAUGH
DOG YAPS
So you're from England? Yes, I am.
- That's mad. - SHE CHUCKLES
The buses are funny. Yes, I've always thought so.
Yeah. I'm sorry, Your Majesty, I'm sure you like champagne,
but this is the best we've got.
The champagne of beers. Well, then, it must be good.
Mm-mm!
Like an '08 Cristal in a tin can.
Thank you. You're welcome, Your Majesty. Stop bowing, Dad.
I haven't seen you in six months, and all you do is fuss.
Do you like it?
I do.
I have to say, I was a little thrown -
I've never eaten off a paper plate. But it is delicious.
It's emu meat.
Oh, my...
- Oh, my God! - CHUCKLING
I'm jo... Oh, my...! I'm joking. I'm joking.

Oh...
Oh, you startled me. I thought you might have been the queen.
Ah! Well, you're in luck.
I am practically the next best thing.
I am 23rd in line to the throne.
Or is it 24th?
There's Freddie, Georgie...
Albert, Horace, Chester...
Florence, Iris, Herman...
Oh, shit. I forgot Bertram! Oh...
There's Freddie, Georgie, Albert,
Horace, Chester, Florence,
Bertram, Iris, Herman...
You think you know, but you don't know shit.
Of course! Of course there are perks and privileges
that have been lavished upon me,
unjustifiably so, some may say,
and I'm not blind to that reasoning.
But let me tell you something.
While they are giving you the yachts and the palaces
and the jewellery, with one hand,
with the other, they're taking something in return.
And do you know what that is?
You!
Because a royal's life is never their own.
We were once the rulers, but now we are the ones being ruled -
by bureaucrats, by public opinion,
by the fucking media.
That is who we must now bow down before.
So you do or you don't want another beer?
Do.
THEY LAUGH
I mean, we all get beaten up every once in a while,
but Matthew gets destroyed. I know, right?
She turns me into a nervous wreck whenever she's around.
Yeah. You're a real James Bond otherwise!

I can barely sleep at night.
And now I have big patches of eczema on my back. Oh, my God. Disgusting!
Why don't you get another job?! Because I'm too scared to quit.
Aw, Jesus, Matthew.
I know! What's even worse is my name is not Matthew.
What? It's Craig. What?! You got to be joking!
Are you serious? She started calling me Matthew on the first day.
I have been too frightened
to correct her ever since. Oh, my God...!

Chester, Florence, Bertram...
Your Majesty! May I have this dance?
Oh, no, Frank. No.
Well, even the Queens have got to dance! I know, but not...
Not tonight. You sure? Dad's got some moves.
It's a hard pass, fellas.
All right, then. Suit yourself.
I draw the line at dancing.
We can leave whenever you're ready, ma'am.
What, and go back to Wedding Planning Central? No, thank you.
We can stay a bit longer.
