Um, there's... there's...
I can find a phone store

It's not turning on.
WOMAN: Um...

(SIREN WAILS)
(SIGHS)
- (CROSSING SIGNAL BLEEPS)
- (SIGHS) Jesus.
It's very badly damaged.
- WOMAN: Yep.
- I can't fix it today.
You can't have it fixed
by today?
I can't fix it today.
Um... well, I'm flying out of
the country tomorrow, so I...
..I definitely need it fixed
by today.
Eight o'clock tomorrow.
Eight o'clock
in the morning tomorrow?
Right, so, if I come by at
eight o'clock in the morning,
it will definitely be fixed?
Eight o'clock.
Alright.
OK. (SIGHS) Thank you.
Um, do you need to call anyone,
anything...?
Um...
Actually, I would love to
call my fianc quickly.
- Do you mind if I...?
- Sure. Please.
- It's an international call.
- That's fine.
- OK. Thank you so much.
- It's OK.
Hi. It's me.
Um, I've broken my phone.
Everything's fine.
Uh, I'm all set for tomorrow.
But just send me an email
if there's any problems.
OK. Love you. Bye.
Thank you.
Do you need to use my phone
for anything else?
No, I'm just gonna go find an
internet cafe. I've got to...
Oh, please, you can sit down
in a cafe,
use my phone for
whatever you have to do.
- Uh... OK, yeah, that'd be...
- Yeah?
- That'd be good. Thank you.
- I'm so sorry about all this.
Yeah. I just... had to...
..rebook a connecting flight,
and it's gone through.
- Thank you very much.
- That's OK.
- Thank you.
- That's OK.
Have you, um... got anything
else planned today, or...?
No, I was just sort of...
(SIGHS)
..um...
..pottering around town.
I've got to get
this flight tomorrow, so...
- Where are you going?
- I'm going to London.
I live in London. Yeah.
- Wow.
- Yeah.
- Going home.
- Wow.
Yeah.
Have you been working?
Um, no, I've kind of finished
all my stuff for the day.
But, um...
Yeah, I was gonna
go down to... to Bondi,
see the Sculpture by the Sea.
If you don't have anything on,
you'd be more than
welcome to...
..come down or something.
Um... (CHUCKLES)
Whereabouts is it?
(BUS WHIRRS QUIETLY)
I don't actually know
your name.
- Oh. I'm Viv.
- I'm Jasper.
- Jasper. Nice to meet you.
- Nice to meet you.
I was actually gonna go down
and see it on Monday,
but it was raining.
(GULLS CRY)
Excuse me? Sorry.
Um, do you know where
Sculpture by the Sea is?
Um, I think it's down there.
- OK...
- Just down that road.
- OK, cool. Thank you.
- See you later. Bye-bye.
(LOUD CLUNKING)
(LAWNMOWER WHIRRS)
(JASPER CHUCKLES)
Excuse me? Hey.
Is this... the Sculptures
by the Sea?
Yeah. You missed it.
- Oh.
- Is this all wrapping up now?
- Is this all done?
- Yeah, it's all finished.
- Oh, really?
- Yeah.
(ALL CHUCKLE)
- 100 sculptures, you missed.
- JASPER: Right.
120. Something like this.
(LAWNMOWER ROARS)
VIV: (CHUCKLES) Thank you.
JASPER: I feel like an idiot.
I was really expecting
this whole thing
to be littered with sculptures.
(CHUCKLES)
- That's fine.
- I'm sorry about that.
I'd love to see a whale.
A whale?
I'd like to see a seahorse.
- I've seen a seahorse.
- You've seen a seahorse?
They're strange.
Yeah, I was snorkelling once
and I found one.
And then I went and got
a plastic bag and...
(CHUCKLES) ..I went and put
the seahorse in a plastic bag
to show my family.
But then I took it back.
Oh, right. I thought you were
gonna say, "It died."
No.
(CLEARS THROAT)
VIV: I keep going
to check my phone.
- (CHUCKLES)
- Sorry. (CHUCKLES)
What were you doing?
I was... engaged in a social
media battle. (CHUCKLES)
Are you serious?
(LAUGHS) About what?
This radio host said
this politician
should go and hang himself.
(CHUCKLES)
Really fired you up, did it?
- Yeah.
- (CHUCKLES)
I-I knew someone
who hanged themselves.
Oh, God. I'm so sorry.
No, it's fine.
It happened a long time ago.
It was my girlfriend
at the time.
- Oh, Jesus. I'm so sorry.
- No, it's fine. Honestly.
So, did you... win the battle?
I don't know.
I bumped into someone.
(BOTH LAUGH)
Whoa.
(WHISTLES)
Want to keep walking?
JASPER: Cool.
VIV: Oh!
These shoes are not ideal.
I think the bus stop's
over there.
OK.
You see a lot of names that
aren't really used anymore,
like... Edith.
- It's an old name.
- 1869.
Oh!
It's Henry Lawson down here.
Here we go.
JASPER: "Love hangs about thy
name like music round a shell
"No heart can take of thee
a tame farewell."
I love him.
VIV: I wonder if there's
a certain time of year
when more people die.
Winter, I guess.
- JASPER: Hey, buddy! Hey.
- (DOG WHIMPERS)
- Hey.
- VIV: Oh, my God!
Yeah. He was just
sitting here. Hey.
- Where did you come from?
- Hello!
- Was he just here?
- Yeah. I...
You want to hold that for
a sec? I'll see if there's...
He was just lying there.
(CHUCKLES)
- Hey.
- (CALLS OUT) Hello?
He can't have...
Well, OK. Let's go.
Which way?
- Where did you come from?
- Show us the way, mate.
Show us the way.
Show us the way.
Was he tied up
or was he just lying there?
He was just lying there.
(CHUCKLES) I just think
there might be a gate open
that he's run out of.
(CHUCKLES)
(WHISPERS) Oh, my God.
(GRUNTS)
Let me just see
if he has a tag.
- Oh, yeah.
- One sec.
Hold on, mate. Where are we?
- Ah. We're in luck.
- Oh, good.
- Huh! Czanne.
- Czanne!
- Czanne. That's perfect.
- Ohh!
Czanne.
Hello.
Um, we've found Czanne
on the street.
No, no. He's...
No, he's OK. He's OK.
Yeah, no, he's...
Is there somewhere
that we can drop him off or...?
(CZANNE WHIMPERS)
The city.
Can we get a cab to the city?
- He's in the city? Yeah.
- Yeah.
Um... yeah. Yeah,
that... that should be fine.
(GRUNTS) In you go.
- Come on, mate. Up you get.
- Come on. Good boy.
Good boy. There we go.
- There we go. Oh, my God!
- Well done!
- Ooh, you got my...
- Good boy.
- Good boy. (LAUGHS)
- Hey.
(SIGHS) Ugh.

Come on, then. Come on, buddy!
That's it.
- (GRUNTS) Thank you.
- (LAUGHS)
Thank you.
- Come on. Up here.
- (CZANNE BARKS)
MAN: Hello, Czanne!
- (VIV LAUGHS)
- There we go!
Thank you. Let's go.
Follow me, yeah?
OK.
- After you.
- Thank you. (CHUCKLES)
You silly boy,
you silly boy, Czanne!
- JASPER: Beautiful dog.
- You don't like me anymore?
You don't want to stay with me?
- Thank you very much, yeah?
- No worries.
Must have left the gate open
and he... he run away.
Did you find new friends?
Do you want to eat
something in here, guys?
Do you want a table?
- JASPER: Oh, yeah, sure.
- VIV: Sure.
- Yeah, that'd be great!
- Follow me, yeah?
- Thank you very much.
- Follow me. Let's go.
(CHUCKLES) Thank you!
JASPER: (SIGHS) Ah.
Order anything you want.
I will pay for you. OK?
- Oh. Thank you!
- Oh, that's so kind of you!
- Thank you very much.
- Are you sure?
Anything. Whatever you like.
Feel free, OK?
- Oh, brilliant. Thank you.
- Thank you so much!
- Cheers.
- Cheers!

(VIDEO GAME PLAYS

(BOTH LAUGH)
So, how long have you
been engaged for?
I have been engaged
for a year and a half.
Mm-hm.
We were meant to get
married last year,
but we had to postpone
the wedding.
So, it'll be some time
this year.
- Mm.
- What about you? A girlfriend?
Oh, I was seeing
someone, but...
..I just wasn't
in the right head space.
Mm-hm.
Did you know that Da Vinci
was a staunch vegetarian?
- Really? I didn't know that.
- Yeah.
He'd buy caged birds
and set them free.
(CHUCKLES) And Picasso had
a pet monkey, a pet goat,
a turtle and a whole pack
of dogs and cats as pets.
And Roman statues, when
they were originally built...
- Oh, my God. (LAUGHS)
- Right? Get this.
The heads were detachable
so they could replace them.
Why have you got
those little facts?
Like a little... a fact guy?
That's how I spend
my down time.
Just arty... arty animal facts?
- WAITER: How was it? Good?
- So beautiful, yeah.
- Thank you so much.
- Thank you.
Delicious.
I keep saying how beautiful
everything is.
It feels disingenuous,
doesn't it?
- "Beautiful. Just beautiful."
- "Just beautiful."
Is there anything that you're
really, really scared of?
Um...
Spiders. Heights.
Don't like planes.
Really?
I always see a plane
and I'm, like, gobsmacked.
When I see it going through
the air, I'm like...
It's true. It's pretty weird
to look up and think...
You know I've never
been overseas?
- You've never been overseas?
- Yeah.
- Really?
- Yeah.
- Really? Never?
- Yeah. Never.
- Wow.
- No, I've never been overseas.
How old are you?
- Never been?
- Yeah.
What are you afraid of?
I'm, like... I'm afraid of,
like, swimming.
Oh, really?
You don't like swimming?
I don't like swimming. No.
- Who ARE you?
- (BOTH LAUGH)
Have you got siblings?
- No.
- Hmm.
What about you?
Do you have any siblings?
Yeah, I've got
a younger sister.
Yeah, she's two years
younger than me.
- Are you guys close?
- Yeah, we are. Yeah.
I mean, we have, like, the...
..you know, sibling stuff
that's tricky,
but we're pretty close.
I remember when she was born.
I remember just this intense
jealousy and hatred,
- going to the hospital.
- (CHUCKLES)
- That's horrible.
- That's my earliest memory.
I always think it's strange
when people say, "Oh, I have
a brother or sister,"
and they're like,
"And I hate them,"
or, "They're so annoying,"
or, "We just don't talk."
I think that's a real shame.
- Yeah.
- Yeah.
What about school?
What were you like at school?
- I was pretty naughty.
- Were you?
Yeah. I was a real naughty...
I also stabbed the kid with a
pencil once. I don't know why.
What do you mean?
Like, we were just playing,
and, um, I stabbed him,
and the lead broke off.
He had two days off
and got lead poisoning
'cause I got it in his vein
and it snapped off.
God. I thought pencils
were made of graphite.
Well, this was back in the day.
(BOTH LAUGH)
Do you know what time it is?
Um...
It's about 9:30.
Do you mind if I borrow
your phone quickly?
Yeah. Yeah, of course.
Thank you so much.
I'll be one sec.
- Yeah.
- Thank you.
(SIGHS)
Hi. It's me. Um...
I'm gonna be on this number
if you want to try and call me.
Um...
Everything's fine.
I hope... you're OK.
Um...
OK. Love you. Bye.
- Thank you.
- You OK?
Yeah.
Want to play a game?
- What?
- You want to play a game?
- Alright. (CHUCKLES)
- Alright. OK.
You have to be, like, here.
The first thing that comes
to your mind, OK?
What? What do you mean?
- You just answer straightaway.
- OK.
(QUICKLY) How many dresses
do you own?
- Si... thirty-five.
- (LAUGHS) 35 dresses is a lot!
Alright. Now you ask me.
(CHUCKLES) Um...
How many drinks have you had?
- 27.
- (BOTH LAUGH)
How many times has that guy
blinked at you?
- 14!
- He's blinked at you 14 times!
(BOTH LAUGH)
How many times has that lady
over there given you the eye?
She's given it to me
many times!
(BOTH LAUGH)
- I'm gonna have to ask you...
- How old are you?
..for a specific number.
49! (LAUGHS)
49! (LAUGHS) Very good.
- You look great.
- How old are you?
- 26.
- (LAUGHS)
Which is a year younger
than what I said.
That's good. That's closer.
Mm.
How old do you think
the world is?
- 14.
- (LAUGHS)
And how many stars
are in the universe?
- 12.
- (LAUGHS) 12?
(BOTH LAUGH)
I know everything
I need to know.
Yeah. How many stars
were in the universe?
- 14. (LAUGHS)
- 14.
Wow. Small world, isn't it?
What are you gonna do now?
I think we should keep
drinking, to be honest.
(LAUGHS) I think we should!
(LAUGHS)
(JASPER WHISTLES)
(CHUCKLES)
- VIV: Race you to the end.
- Yeah?
But you've got to give me
a three-second head start.
OK.
You can't...!
- Ooh! Ow, ow, ow!
- What?
- Just kidding! (LAUGHS)
- Oh, oh!
Ooh! No, shit, seriously,
this time it's...
(LAUGHS)
JASPER: Wow!
Look how red that leaf is!
- This is amazing!
- What is that?
Is that berries?
Wow. That's so cool.
JASPER: It's like coral.
Half the tree's green
and half of it's red.
VIV: It's a Christmas tree!
(LAUGHS)
Do I get anything
if I get up, like, super-high?
Yes. You get
a special surprise.
- VIV: OK.
- JASPER: Alright.
VIV: Maybe you need to take
your socks off as well.
JASPER: No, I feel like the
socks will give me traction.
VIV: Do you?
- (LAUGHS)
- (LAUGHS) They are!
- They are! They really are!
- Oh, my God!
(LAUGHS)
They really are actually
giving me traction!
They're really giving me
a lot of traction! (LAUGHS)
They're giving me
super traction!
Super-duper... (LAUGHS)
What do I get?
(LAUGHS) I mean...
What do I get?! (LAUGHS)
VIV: (LAUGHS) It's so good!
This is how the human evolves.
(VIV CONTINUES LAUGHING)
Oh, that was so good! (LAUGHS)
JASPER: I was not
expecting that.
(BOTH CHUCKLE)
VIV: OK, if you could go
anywhere in the world,
where would you go?
(JASPER INHALES)
Weifang, Shandong, in China.
For the International
Kite Festival.
- Really?
- (CHUCKLES)
Oh, I just read about it
this morning. (LAUGHS)
OK, well,
where would you really go?
I would go to
the Galpagos Islands.
How come?
I saw a David Attenborough
documentary
and it just looks untouched.
What about you?
Where would you go?
I would go to Iceland.
- Iceland?
- Mm-hm.
Alright.
Is that where the lights are?
- The northern lights?
- Yeah.
- Yeah.
- Cool.
VIV: I mean,
I just really want that.
I bet that would just
be so good.
Yeah.
- I did qigong once.
- Qigong?
Yeah. And you go like this.
Can't really remember.
But it was something like that.
(EXHALES)
- Can't remember anything else.
- Well, show me.
But it definitely
started with this.
(JASPER LAUGHS)
(CROSSING SIGNAL BLEEPS)
(BOTH CHUCKLE)
- After you.
- Thank you very much.
I just think...
Don't you think that phobias...
Phobias are irrational fears,
and you keep telling me
your phobias,
and it's, like, drowning
or being shot.
- Or getting diabetes...
- I never said getting shot.
- I said getting hit by a car.
- Completely rational fears.
BOTH: Thank you.
So, um, have you, um...
Do you have a... a dress?
Do I have a dress
or an address?
No, a dress. For your...
- Oh, for my wedding.
- ..your big, um...
- No, I don't have a dress.
- You don't?
I didn't get a dress.
I didn't get a dress
the last time around,
and I haven't thought about
a dress this time around.
Has it been chaos...
..or has someone else
kind of hijacked it for you?
No, it's just been us.
I mean, it's just us.
My family's not there, his
family doesn't live in London.
- So, it's just been us.
- Nice.
Us getting in a stew about it.
Right.
You know, it was gonna be
this big thing before,
with all the families.
It was, like, he wanted
his grandparents there
and they wanted to have
this big thing...
- You should elope.
- ..like, this big thing...
(SIGHS) Yeah. I don't know.
I know... I know it's a big
question - are you happy?
- Am I happy?
- Yeah.
- Yeah, I'm happy.
- Yeah?
- Are you happy?
- I'm happy. I'm OK. Yeah.
- (CHUCKLES)
- I'm happy. Yeah.
(DISHES CLATTER QUIETLY)
(DISHWATER SLOSHES)
(PUTS DOWN PLATE)
VIV: So, are you
from Sydney originally?
JASPER: Not originally, no,
but I just moved back
in the last two months.
- Oh, great.
- Yeah.
Where were you before that?
Uh... I moved in with my mum
for the last year,
just because I wasn't
doing too good.
- Mm-hm.
- Mm.
How was it living with your mum
for a year?
Look, I love her, but it was...
a nightmare.
(LAUGHS) I can imagine!
I just spent two weeks
with my family.
- They drove me fucking crazy!
- (LAUGHS) Yeah.
JASPER: ..really quite, uh...
quite cute.
MAN: Good evening.
- (CHUCKLES)
- What did he say?
- I don't know. (LAUGHS)
- (PHONE RINGS)
We're just having a random
conversation with a stranger.
- (LAUGHS)
- We're good at that. (LAUGHS)
Hello? (CHUCKLES)
Oh. Yeah, yeah.
Um... yeah, she's here.
I'll pop her on.
No worries. Bye.
Thank you.
Hello!
Hi.
Yeah, did you get my message?
Yeah, no, um...
well, I smashed my phone.
It's...
(CHUCKLES)
No, I-I'm coming back tomorrow.
No, I want to come back, Henry.
No, I want to come back.
Yeah.
No, it's fine.
OK. Yep.
Bye.
Thank you.
You OK?
What, um, time is
your flight tomorrow?
Um... 11:35.
- Am I holding you up?
- No. It's, um...
No, it's fine. It's fine.
- It's fine. Sorry. (CHUCKLES)
- It's OK.
What were you saying?
- Huh?
- (LAUGHS)
What do you think about that?
(JASPER BREATHES DEEPLY)
Well, as my mother would say,
it's... interesting.
(VIV CHUCKLES)
Do you know what
they called it, though?
What?
- Poo on Sticks.
- (LAUGHS)
If art's the only thing that
remains in any civilisation,
what are people
gonna think about us
in a thousand years' time?
(BOTH LAUGH)
Poo Sticks. (CHUCKLES)
- Hello, yellow!
- JASPER: What's that?
- Are you Aussie?
- Yeah.
Then I say,
"Come on, Aussie, come on!"
Come on, Aussie...
Where are you from?
- Are you Aussie?
- Where are you from?
- Oh! Are you asking me?
- Yeah.
You tell me.
I don't know.
No. You don't know
where I come from.
You tell me.
I think you come from
around here.
I know you Aussie, Aussie.
VIV: I'm not.
She's a New Zealander.
Ka mate, ka mate! Ka ora!
- (JASPER LAUGHS)
- There we go!
Here we go! (LAUGHS)
How are you, brother?
How are you?
What's your name?
Oh, it's alright. John Leonard.
- John Lennon?
- No, Leonard.
- Leonard?
- VIV: Ah, Leonard?
Yeah. No, John LEONARD.
JASPER AND VIV:
John Leonard.
VIV: I thought you said
John Lennon for a second.
No, no, no, no. I wish!
(ALL LAUGH)
Yeah, brother!
Oh, so, you're...'ka mate'...
I am.
- Where are you from?
- I'm from here.
- "Oi, oi, oi"?
- Yeah.
"Aussie, Aussie, Aussie,
oi, oi, oi!"
Where are you from?
Pick it out.
- Huh?
- Work it out.
You're from... you're from...
Yeah! Yeah, up there,
hey, man?
- (VIV LAUGHS)
- You're from...
- Wait, no, no, no, this...

No, I'm pointing at that one!
You said this one,
I meant that one over there!
(ALL LAUGH)
- I like you!
- Thank you very much.

What happened to the sign?
JASPER: Hmm. (CHUCKLES)
It's not the best
advertisement, is it?
- (LAUGHS) No.
- (CHUCKLES)
- I like it up here.
- Mm.
I spent a lot of time
on rooftop bars with my ex.
She... loved them.
- Really?
- Yeah. We used to come a lot.
She loved having a different
perspective on life.
It was funny, she used to carry
this old Leica
and would take really obscure
pictures just from above.
- Mm.
- She sounds great.
OK.

- Viv.
- Viv. How you going?
- Hi. How's it going?
Yeah, good.
Do you guys reckon God exists?
- Um...
- What do you think?
Yeah, I think he exists. Jesus
Christ, he is your answer.
Changed my life. Hopefully,
it'll change yours too.
- Grab that.
- Thank you.
Grab that. Please just read it.
It's just basically talking
about how God is love.
You know? And... love exists.
You guys seem like
a nice couple.
- You guys seem in love.
- (JASPER AND VIV LAUGH)
- Thank you.
- Have a great one. God bless.
- Thank you.
- Thanks. Bye.
Oh, shit!
Hey, how you going? (CHUCKLES)
(JASPER LAUGHS)
(JASPER CHUCKLES)
(DOORBELL CHIMES)
- Hi, guys.
- JASPER: Hello.
- VIV: Hi. How's it going?
- Hi. How are you?
- VIV: Hi.
- Off-tap.
Camp.
(CHUCKLES)
Are you looking for anything
in particular, or just...?
- Um, no, just having a look.
- Alright.
- Yeah. Thank you.
- Need a hand, give me a call.
- OK. Thank you.
- Thanks.
But couples - look at this.
Wet & Wild.
JASPER: Oh, my goodness.
That's so...
It's out there. It's out there.
There we go.
This is the We-Vibe.
- Show them the We-Vibe.
- (VIBRATOR BUZZES)
This can go inside your vagina,
this side, the flat side.
- JASPER: Uh-huh.
- It's on the... on the outside.
And then he can come in
behind it.
- What it is is two motors...
- Have a feel, darling.
- ..wireless remote control.
- You play with...
It goes into the lady
like a Muppet, yeah?
(LAUGHS)
And your ding-a-ling is going
underneath while it's worn.
So, it's virtually a built-in
vibrating cock ring.
- It's all about togetherness!
- Have a go on that.
And she could be in the bank
at the counter
and you could be in the car.
- "Zzhhh! Zzhhh!"
- JASPER: And it's all...?
- It's worn inside...
- That's really doing it.
..while you're fucking.
- So, think this would be...
- Excuse the French.
(BOTH LAUGH)
- VIV: Wow. There's an app.
- The We-Vibe is pretty cool.
- Whoa!
- (VIBRATOR RATTLES)
Can't turn it off. (CHUCKLES)
Meet... your new best friend.
Two drops on
your friend's jim-jam
makes it
hypersensitive insanity.
I've used it on the front line,
sir. It works.
- Watermelon mouth...
- Seen the rabbit?
- VIV: No.
- Sex and the City!
The girl in Sex and the City.
All these ladies
know about the rabbit!
- It's the famous rabbit.
- THE rabbit!
So, I think Susan or Samantha -
the slut...
- Samantha!
- ..brought it to the table.
- (GASPS) The slut!
- Pfft. Yeah, yeah, darls.
I'll put some
batteries in and...
What are the little,
um, pearls inside?
- Oh!
- Ooh!
You're in for a REAL treat.
I'm putting
the batteries in, darls.
(VIV LAUGHS)
Oh, yeah, that's got
aphrodisiacs in that too.
It's olive oil,
so you can use it as lube,
but it's no good for condoms.
- (DOORBELL CHIMES)
- The famous rabbit. This is...
- (RABBIT WHIRRS)
- Hang on. Yes.
- Check... You've got a few.
- Oh, love!
Imagine that inside you, darls!
Ooh-la-la!
- (VIV LAUGHS)
- Here, feel... feel that bit.
They reckon
the most sensitive bit...
You too if you want it, honey!
..on a lady,
bar her little jim-jam...
Get it going, love!
I got into trouble
for saying "clitoris"...
- Pump it up!
- ..to these lesbian dudes,
so now I say "jim-jam",
"jelly bean", "pearl"...
- It can go in the bath.
- Just feel that.
- Really? It's waterproof?
- Mm.
But the tip of your nose
is hypersensitive...
- Ooh-la-la!
- Oh! (LAUGHS)
- It's out there, but, yeah.
- Is that, um...
- A few functions there.
- How out there is it, darls?
- Wow.
- Can he use it too?
- Hi, guys. How are you?
- Thanks.
- Well, of course he can.
- Hi, darling. How are you?
Hi, darling. How aren't you?
But I'm saying, the jim-jam...
..the comparison, most
sensitive part in one's body
is the tip of your nose, so...
- Everybody?
- Yeah, wow.
The We... Tango.
- Look out. He loves the Tango.
- I love it. Look.
- Feel it slip in. Ooh!
- Whoa!
- Just leave it on your palm...
- JASPER: It's like a fish.
- He loves the Tango.
- Arggh!
Yeah! You throw that up your
clacker. I'd be too scared to.
- Might never get it out!
- (JASPER AND VIV LAUGH)
You've got so many functions.
Keep pressing the bottom of it.
It's got that one
where it goes...
It's a powerhouse. You've got
a one-year warranty.
That's the We-Vibe's
little brother.
JASPER: Hard to keep
a hold of, that little guy.
It's hard to keep in
too, darls.
Just jumps and jumps
and jumps!
You know, it's for a couple,
love, so they have a game.
- It's got... a lot of...
- (LAUGHS) We're not a couple.
Not a couple? But, well,
you know, you could be.
- (VIBRATOR CLATTERS)
- Whoa!
And it's all rechargeable too,
love. See what I mean?
Imagine two of them in me,
love! Ohhh, love! I'd be...
- (VIV CACKLES)
- I was like that before!
Oh, it's camp, love! Ding!
You know... you know,
we know you're not together,
but even friends can be
naughty, yeah?
- (VIV LAUGHS)
- JASPER: Right.
- Can't they? I don't know.
- They have to be.
What are friends for? You've
got to learn with your friends.
Can I ask, what, um...
what's with the... the blue?
Oh. I have Irlen syndrome.
Rhymes with 'Merlin',
the magician, but with an I.
It's from being under
these lights for a decade.
One of the trade-offs
of being a front-line, uh...
..humble porn-peddler,
love-preacher
in a crazy, twisted world.
(ALL LAUGH)
Someone's got to be out there,
a beacon of light
for 'friends'...
- Yeah, right.
- ..and lovers alike!
Yeah, we're saving marriages
down here!
- Look at that.
- Whoa! He's got...
- That's sex on the rocks!
- (VIV LAUGHS)
You will definitely get an
orgasm with one of these three.
But he's outrageous.
- Kink, baby! Ooh-la-la!
- Ooh! Oh, oh! Whoa!
You want to try it, darls?
You try it. Give him a smack.
Ooh! He's probably been
real naughty.
Then you go with the paddle.
Ohhh, yeah!
- He likes it! Ooh-la-la!
- He's causing trouble.
You've got the cuffs.
You've got cuffs with furs.
Ooh, how about your nipples?
You like your nipples
to be clamped?
Jingle-jam.
(WHISPERS)
I think we should go.
- How did you guys meet?
- Do youse know each other?
- JASPER: Well, we, uh...
- (LAUGHS) We do now!
So, were you interested
in the We-Vibe
or anything like that, love?
- Um... we might...
- I think we're OK.
You're OK? You're just gonna
have a... on the rocks tonight?
- (LAUGHS)
- Well, alright, then.
- Bye.
- Thank you. Bye.
See you, guys. Have fun.
Look after each other.
- Bye.
- Come back. We're 24 hours.
Bye, cutie.
I finish at 11 - don't forget.
Three, four in the morning,
you know where to come.
You've got the whip out.
I'd better get going.
- VIV: Bye.
- (DOORBELL CHIMES)
Cute!
Off-tap.
What's this? Do you want to do
a breath alcohol tester?
- Sure.
- I need two $1 coins.
You're either gonna be 'error',
'OK', 'warning' or 'danger'.
I think you're gonna be
'danger'.
(CHUCKLES) Roll up, roll up!
(TRILLS) Rrroll up, rrroll up!
(LONG BEEP)
- (SHORT BEEP)
- Warning. I'm just a warning.
Uh-huh.
Blow.
(LONG BEEP)
(MACHINE BEEPS REPEATEDLY)
- Danger! Danger! (LAUGHS)
- I'm 0.077!
- Danger! (LAUGHS)
- I should be dead.
Mm.
(LAUGHS)
Go... (LAUGHS)
Go up on your toes.
Get low, then up on the toes.
(LAUGHS)
(BOTH LAUGH)
Pretend you never saw that.
VIV: Yeah, yeah, yeah.
It's gone.
- Alright.
- It's gone.
- Wow.
- (JASPER LAUGHS)
I know.
VIV: (LAUGHS) Other tricks?
JASPER: Can you do,
like, a little spin?
- Whoa!
- (BOTH LAUGH)
- See you.
- See you.
Have you heard that
in the English language,
there's only, like, three words
that don't rhyme?
'Orange' is one of them.
- Yeah.
- Doesn't rhyme with anything.
I think 'purple' is another.
I don't know what
the third one is.
- I really want to know now.
- Excuse me? Guys? Sorry.
Do you have, um, $3.50? $3.50?
BOTH: Uh...
- Sorry about that.
- I don't have any cash.
- No, I don't. Sorry.
- I don't have change. Sorry.
Do you know if it's any good,
this one?
- This restaurant?
- Yeah.
VIV: Uh, I don't know.
I've never been here. Sorry.
- Looks nice.
- Yeah, it does, doesn't it?
It's just that... you know...
"Established 1996".
It's, like... 1996 - in Europe,
it would have been 1886.
- (BOTH LAUGH)
- Yeah! 1996 in Australia!
- Yeah! Whoo! We made it!
- (LAUGHS) Right.
- Sorry. Anyway...
- That's OK.
- That's alright.
- I wasn't that hungry.
Do you want a...?
VIV: Uh, I'm OK.
Thank you, though.
- Do you want...?
- Yeah, I'll have one.
- Alright.
- Thank you.
Do you want me to show you
a trick? I'll show you a trick.
You look so... It's so cold!
It was so warm this morning!
VIV: It was really hot today,
and then it changes.
Yeah. Come.
You can do it, then, to her.
(CLEARS THROAT)
(BLOWS)
Huh? Huh?
(LAUGHS) That's
actually really good.
- Yeah, I'm quite warm now.
- (SPEAKS RUSSIAN)
- I'll show you how...
- Yeah?
..how you do it, and then
you should do this to her.
(BLOWS)
(LAUGHS) It tickles.
- That's really nice.
- (SPEAKS RUSSIAN)
- VIV: Quite warm now.
- Eto teplo, da. Eto teplo.
(SPEAKS RUSSIAN)
Sorry...
Sorry... sorry, what?
(SPEAKS RUSSIAN)
What does that mean?
27, two kids.
VIV: Oh, my God!
"27 and two kids"?
And then she touched my hand.
(BOTH LAUGH)
(VIV TRILLS)
JASPER: What the hell?
- Eugh!
- That's so weird.
I don't want to eat this,
but my grandpa told me a story
and he said, "If a little kid
offers you a candy,
"you should take it, 'cause
that's all they have to offer."
And I feel like
she was like a little kid.
(VIV LAUGHS)
JASPER: But that was,
I think, a bit strange.
- VIV: What's in here?
- JASPER: Let's give it a go.
- Hey, man.
- Hi, guys.
- Hi.
- How have you been?
- How's it going?
- You good?
- Can we come in?
- Uh...
- Been here before?
- Yeah.
- Alright, guys. Yep.
- Thank you. (CHUCKLES)
No worries.
(QUIET CONVERSATION,

- Right.
I thought it was gonna be,
like, a big...
(LAUGHS) I don't know
what's going on!
..a big...
like, a big, pumping party.
I know. But, um...
Like, it's like
an intimate gathering.
(BOTH LAUGH QUIETLY)
- OK.
- What do we do?
OK. I can dig it.
- (LAUGHS) I can dig it.
- (LAUGHS)
- Hello.
- BOTH: Hello.
How are we?
- Good.
- Good. How are you?
I'm fine. What can I get you?
- Uh... champ...
- Champ...
Yeah? Champagne?
- WOMAN: Excuse me? Hello?
- Two champagnes?
Who invited you guys here?
- Sorry?
- Who invited you?
Are you guys on the guest list?
- Um... no.
- Um... no, we're not.
But we... we, um...
We're just gonna have
a champagne.
- Just a little champagne.
- BARMAN: Two champagnes.
Just a very little champagne.
OK. Just one drink.
(LAUGHS) Just one
very little champagne.
- WOMAN: OK.
- Thank you.
- Thanks. Thank you.
- OK.

Uh, can I have a beer,
please, mate?
- I like your hair.
- Oh, thank you.
- Yeah, it's great.
- Thank you. Mm.
- No pain, no gain, right?
- What do you dye it with?
Um... it's called Manic Panic.
- Oh, yeah. I know Manic Panic.
- Mm.
Good. How often
do you change it?
Um... as often as
my mood changes.
- Fair enough.
- Which is quite often. Mm.
Actually, my hair's
gonna fall out
'cause I bleach it too much.
Mm. Mm-hm.
- What are you up to tonight?
- Um...
We kind of ran into each other.
- Oh, really?
- VIV: Yeah.
DEAN: Well, spontaneity is the
best thing in life, isn't it?
- Ah, cool.
- True. Cheers to that.
Cheers. In fact, I should have
a champagne too.
- But anyway, beer will do.
- Have a champagne.
- So, you just met today?
- Mm.
- Drinking champagne already?
- Mm. (LAUGHS)
- Oh!
- (JASPER LAUGHS)
Actually, I look at you, honey,
and I think of things I haven't
thought of in decades, hey?
(JASPER AND VIV LAUGH)
Thanks, Dean.
Then I look at Jasper
and I think of something
I thought of five minutes ago,
you know?
(ALL CHORTLE)
JASPER: She's getting
engaged tomorrow.
No, you're flying to see
your fianc tomorrow.
I am engaged.
That makes sense to me,
honey. Course.
Last fling. Good on you.
Congratulations.
VIV: No! (LAUGHS)
What the cat doesn't know
doesn't hurt, eh?
- (LAUGHS) No!
- Good on you.
- It's not like that, Dean.
- Are you sure?
- It's not like that.
- It looks like that to me.
VIV: Oh, God!
If it's not like that with him,
can you make it like that
with me?
- (ALL LAUGH)
- DEAN: Mm.
Would you like to dance?
- Alright.
- With you? Anything.
Well, actually, can I be
the meat in your sandwich?
(JASPER AND VIV LAUGH)
Looks like you're forming
a sandwich tonight anyway!
(JASPER AND VIV

Gee, I wish I could get down

(BOTH LAUGH)
Jasper can do...
Jasper can do some drops.
I can do the little drops.
- ..down like that!
- (VIV CHEERS)
Well, while you're
down there, hello!
Well, we'd better be careful.
We might get kicked out.
Oh, no. There's no-one here.

- (LAUGHS)
- You guys were very close.
No, he's just a friend.
- Very close, that friend.
- I'm engaged.
You're engaged?
Let me see your ring.
- Does he live here?
- I don't have it on.
You don't have a ring?
So you're not engaged.
- No, I am engaged. (LAUGHS)
- Not on purpose.
(WHISPERS)
It's just between us.
No, it's... (LAUGHS)
It's true, I promise.
No, I don't believe that.
Anyways...
Are you guys having
a good night?
- Um...
- Um... I don't know.
We want to make it
more interesting.
Are you and him
a little bit bored like us?
No, we're having quite
an exciting night, actually.
Really? What have you
been up to?
Um... we found a dog.
- A dog?
- Yep.
What about if you found girls
like us? What would you do?
- (LAUGHS) We're not dogs!
- (LAUGHS) You're not dogs.
- We're not dogs. We're women.
- What?! (LAUGHS)
(CHUCKLES) Alright.
Have a good night.
- Have fun.
- No! Don't go.

I'll teach you.
Let's dance. Let's move around.
Come on. You just go like this.
- Uh-huh?
- You see?
Touch your dress,
your boobs, your hair.
No, no... (LAUGHS)
- You can do it. Don't be shy.
- I just can't do it.
- Yes, you can do it.
- In fact...
You have to do it for your
'friend'. Your boyfriend.
Just do it.
Is she teaching you the moves?
Yeah, she's teaching.
Giving me a special lesson.
The Puerto Rican dance.
I mean, there's no music

- Let's have the party in here.
- Ohh.

Are you looking forward
to going home?
Mmm...
..not really.
Why?
Um...
I am... (SIGHS)
I don't know. It's just been
a weird few months, and...
..I'm not sure how much
Henry wants me to...
..be coming home right now.
(CHUCKLES)
What do you mean?
I sort of came over here
so that we could have
a bit of time, you know?
Um...
And it's been good,
but I just...
I don't know.
What?
Mm...
It's just been a...
..been a weird time.
In what way?
I had a miscarriage
a couple of months ago,
and, um...
..he just...
..you know, it's been
really, really hard for him.
It's been hard for both of us,
obviously, but...
..I feel like he...
Mm... it's not that
he blames me, just...
..he kind of resents the fact
that I... (CHUCKLES)
- ..wasn't able to... you know?
- Yeah.
Don't...
Don't take that on board.
You can't...
No, it's not... it's not...
It's just... (SIGHS)
..distanced us a bit, I guess.
I don't know.
We'll see. We'll see.
(VIV CHUCKLES)
I'm really sorry to hear that.
Tonight's been good, though.
- (LAUGHS)
- It's been lovely.
It's been really nice.
VIV: OK, now, this is gonna be
a little bit tricky.
JASPER: That's OK.
VIV: You've got to keep
your eyes shut
to get across this, OK?
- Do I need to? Do I want to?
- Just wait till I'm gone.
- OK.
- Mm-hm.
OK. Keep going.
- Just keep going.
- Mm-hm.
OK, keep going.
OK. Keep going.
- Here. Keep going.
- Mm-hm.
- OK, now you shut your eyes.
- Mm-hm.
- Keep them shut.
- Mm-hm.
OK. And you have to
bend down.
Mm-hm.
- Bend down.
- Yes.
And then come forward
a little bit.
(BOTH LAUGH)
- Was that a good surprise?
- (LAUGHS)
- It was a great surprise.
- Oh!
I don't think you we're
surprised enough.
No, I was!
Oh! Two.
What is it?
It's a... a little maze
with ball bearings.
And I'm gonna get it.
I need your support here.
I'm supporting you
from over here.
OK. Just tell me...
"Yes, yes, yes."

Do you know that story
about John Lennon?
(CHUCKLES) No.
When he was, like,
five years old at school,
he had to write down what he
wanted to be when he grew up,
and he wrote down "happy".
And the teacher, like...
..took him aside after class
and said,
"You've written down 'happy'.
"You don't understand
the question."
And he said,
"You don't understand life."
