- What do you want? - [BEAT CONTINUES]
Hi... You don't know me, but...
this... it's a bit of an odd request.
How did you find us? On Craigslist?
- No. - Did a friend tell you?
No.
- You have a door. - MAN: What?
I'm here because of the basement door.
Oh, God, another one. [SIGHS]
[LAUGHS]
I really need that door.
We need the door. It sets the mood.
It's our most popular room.
Right, of course.
Um, OK.
Look, I can't tell you why I need that door
but it's literally life or death.
I've done things I'm ashamed of.
I've made mistakes.
I continue to make mistakes.
But I've met someone who knows that, deep down,
I'm a good person and I am trying.
And, right now, in order to make things right...
- [BEAT STOPS] - [GARY INHALES]
..I need that door.
The woman I love, she needs that door.
[BEAT PLAYS]
Money is no obstacle. Seriously.
- Just name your price. - $25,000.
- That is... That's insane. - I could cut you a deal.
We need a sub for our next party.
- You need a what? - A sub.
Submissive.
$25,000? OK. Um...
Who am I making that out to?
"Oh, ooh, ooh, ooh"
[IF I HAD A TAIL BY QUEENS OF THE STONE AGE CONTINUES]
Hey. What are you doing?
Uh, this is an abandoned mine shaft near Oodnadatta,
in the outback.
It's about 800 miles from here, give or take.
I went to the State Library to get this.
Here, have a look.
You want... You want us to move here?
No, I want to go there for the next full moon, Gary.
- OK... - I can't work out...
I think that is the entrance, or maybe here.
That's a better one. That's the entrance.
But the tunnels must go pretty deep
to get all that mercury.
Mercury?
Yeah, and best part is
we won't run into anyone because...
it has been closed for over 100 years.
[ENGINE APPROACHES, REVERSING BEEPING]
You should go see what that is.
[REVERSING BEEPING CONTINUES]
[ENGINE AND BEEPING STOP, DOOR OPENS AND CLOSES]
G'day.
We're here to install the fuck door.
[CLANGING, METAL SCREECHES]
- There she is. - MAN2: This thing's gonna weigh a ton.
GARY: I should have let you take care of the basement.
That's my fault.
I don't want you to worry.
There is a lot to worry about.
There always is.
There always will be.
But we are a team...
and I'm going to show you just how committed I am...
- oh, my God! - ..to this relationship.
What... What are you doing?
Mary Hammond,
I promise to love you,
every part of you, forever.
[LAUGHS]
Now, in lieu of a wedding ring,
I would like to offer
this fuck door.
Your fuck door.
- Our fuck door. - Our fuck door.
Will you marry me?
- Yes. - Yes?
Stand up. Yes.
- Promise me one thing. - OK.
We can get married after the baby's born?
Of course. Why?
I would just... I would prefer it.

GARY: And let's get the chicken in the oven,
'cause it's gonna take at least an hour and a half
to cook through
- One and a half? - Yeah. An hour and a half.
Unless you want to shit out of your mouth.
Ye... Oh, my God! [LAUGHS] You are so weird!
GARY: Look at that.
I couldn't have prepped it better myself, sweetie.

[GARY AND MARY CHAT INDISTINCTLY]
GARY: You sure you're OK for this?
'Cause I'm happy to tell Sarah that you're not feeling well.
Wait, do you think we don't have time?
We definitely have time, but...
if, for whatever reason, you don't want to do this,
- it's not a big deal. - Oh, no.
I think we should go, sweetie.
- They're so good to us. - OK.
I mean, they take Emma every date night.
I agree.
- Shit. - Mm?
That taxi's been following us.
- What? For how long? - Don't you remember?
- We pulled out... - I didn't even notice a taxi.
That taxi, right, nobody got out of it,
and it's literally been on our tail.
I'm not being paranoid.
I never said you were being paranoid.
I just don't know why a taxi would follow us.
Mmm.
What are you doing? Sweetie, what are you doing?
- [TYRES SCREECH] - Stop, stop, stop, stop!
"How sweet it is to be loved by you"
"Well it's like sugar for my soul"
"How sweet it is to be loved by you."
MARY: What are all these cars doing here?
- There's, like, 10 cars here. - I have no idea.
Is she expecting other people for lunch?
- It was my idea. - What was?
It's not bad. I promise.
ALL: Surprise!
Don't freak out. We'll make this as painless as possible.
We didn't know who to invite. Emma went to the nursing home.
- Darren! How are you? - You look amazing.
- MARY: You have to meet Gary. - Hi.
- Em, we did it! - I know!
MARY: Oh, my goodness! Albert!
Albert, Gary.
- Hey, Albert. - Hey. I'm the cleaner.
- At the nursing home. - OK. Yes! Albert, of course.
- Hi. - Babe!
No! Suppa! Oh!
I'm sorry I didn't call you back.
Wait, I want you to meet Gary.
- Hi. - Hi.
I teach her Maui Thai, and I'm also her nutritionist.
Ooh! Well you're going to be getting a call from a new customer.
- Ooh! - SARAH: Come get a drink.
- [INDISTINCT CHATTER] - Mary?
Aunty Sarah said this will only be two hours,
so plenty of time for date night.
I promise.
You said friends are good, remember?
I did.
Do you know I always wanted to have a baby shower.
- Really? - So, thank you.
Oh, babe, you're so tight!
- And big. - [LAUGHS]
[CHATTER]
I mean, I think these are what vegie kebabs are meant to look like.
Here, take a look.
And, Ray, thank you again for watching Emma tonight.
No worries. We're totally fine with Emma staying for...
whatever you guys get up to once a month.
Could you answer your phone, though?
Sarah's been really worried.
Yeah, yeah, of course. Sorry about that.
That whole thing, that was so stupid.
Olivia keeps telling me about the basement at your place.
Mm?
Yeah, she said you guys had a basement.
[LAUGHS] Basement, in Australia.
How would you even build a basement,
especially one that works.
One that works?
[INDISTINCT CHATTER AND LAUGHTER]
SUPPA: No, no, Susan's technique is getting so much better.
But Jeanette, God bless her!
She's still falling like a sack of onions.
Oh, poor Jeanette. I feel bad for her.
[LAUGHS]
Daddy alert! Who's the hot guy?
..the fuck?
Uh?
SARAH: Mary?
RAY: Who's that?
Gary?
[MAN SPEAKS INDISTINCTLY]
MARY: But why... How did you find me?
MAN: ..shut me out of your house.
I'm really worried about seeing you now. I don't follow you.
It's just really weird to see you. What's going on, Mary?
GARY: Hi, there!
Who's this?
This is Mary's partner. And you are...
I'm from Chicago.
Uh-huh, that's a city.
Yeah, it is. Well done. I'm Anton.
- Anton. - Mm-hm.
Gary.
Mmm...
Gary.
And Mary. [LAUGHS] And Gary.
Anton used to teach me in college.
- Her professor. - Is that right?
It's funny, Anton,
she, uh, never mentioned you.
Oh, really? I wonder why that is.
What brings you to Adelaide, Anton?
- I'm travelling the world. - Uh-huh.
And on these world travels, were you always planning on
stopping by my sister-in-law's house?
- Hello! - No, not really.
Hello. Hi, I'm Anton.
- Sarah. - Sarah, very nice to meet you.
- You're not from here. - No.
- Where are you from? - I'm from Chicago.
I'm an acquaintance of Mary's.
Oh. You came all this way to see her?
In some ways I did, yeah. I...
I was in the neighbourhood
and I thought I'd stop by and say hi.
SARAH: You had to have made a bit of an effort
to come to Adelaide.
- ANTON: Don't I know it. - [SARAH LAUGHS]
I think the only Americans that have been to Adelaide
are you guys and Ben Folds.
Ben Folds?
Ben Folds? Who's Ben Folds?
Uh, the singer.
[CHUCKLES] You and your music, Mary.
Some things never change, huh?
Um, shall we go inside and open up some presents?
But I didn't bring anything. I feel terrible.
Oh, I'm sure you being here is enough. [LAUGHS]
- Really? - Yeah.
Oh, OK. Thanks.
Do you want to tell me what's going on here?
[CHATTER]
Oh, he goes with this one!
I was at the Nam Nao forest in northern Thailand.
- Are you familiar? - SUPPA: Yes, yes.
[INDISTINCT CHATTER]
- A lot of gibbons. - Mm, yeah.
They're delicious.
[LAUGHTER]
You should try them. They are...
OK, so... we're gonna play a game.
ANTON: Sarah, excuse me.
Seeing as I didn't bring any gift,
I feel the need to say something, if that's OK with you.
- Yeah, yeah, of course. - Oh...
Yeah? OK. Um.. Hi, everyone.
Uh, um...
OK, I can't say that I ever expected...
to find myself at a baby shower in Adelaide.
[LAUGHTER]
And, my dear Mary, if I asked you 12 years ago
where you thought you might end up,
I'm sure that you couldn't imagine yourself
in a place like this.
But if any of us knew that a place like this existed,
Adelaide...
[CHUCKLING]
..where the people are so friendly
and their smiles are so warm...
..is there a better place to start a family?
Mary, you were a wonderful student.
A protégé.
I daresay, MY protégé.
And I'm sure you will be a wonderful mother.
[SOFT AGREEMENT]
- To Mary. - [WHISPERS] Thank you.
ALL: To Mary.
That was beautiful. Thank you, Anton.
No, thank you to Ray,
for this beautiful sausage.
[LAUGHTER] Don't mention it, Anton.
- They're delicious! - I want another one.
And, please, the floor's yours. I apologise. Sorry, yeah.
Thank you. Um...
Write down on these cards anything you like.
Parenting advice,
things that you loved about your own parents...
Thank you very much.
And I'm going to compile a book for Mary.
And remember, keep it anonymous.
[LAUGHS]
- Give me a sec. - Yep, done.
- Done! - There you go.
- Sarah? - Oh.
- Why don't you read them out. - Go on, Mary.
- All: Yeah! - I... Ah, OK.
- [ALL ENCOURAGE MARY] - Um...
- [CLEARS THROAT] - Here we go, here we go.
"You're not going to do anything for the next six months."
"Make sure you're getting enough Vitamin B12 and D."
"Sunflower seeds are a great source of folic acid"
"and iron supplements are your friend."
- That could be anyone, babe. - [LAUGHTER]
SARAH: What does it say?
"Let your..."
"heart run free."
[CONFUSED MURMURING]
[HINGES SQUEAK]
Oh. Did he go?
- Oh... - That's a pity.
- He knows. - He's my Professor.
Why does that mean he would know?
Because he was a friend, and he... I was anxious.
There was a full moon, so he came to check on me.
I went to see him when I got back from Prague.
Oh, yeah? Why? Why?
Uh, because I thought I was losing my mind.
I needed help figuring out what was wrong with me,
and he's the smartest person I know, and...
he was there for me. I mean, he tried to help.
Oh, yeah, in what way did he help?
He thought I was having a psychotic episode,
based on what happened to David.
Mmm.
Mm.
Did he help in any other way?
- What? - Anton.
Did Anton help in any other way?
- What do you mean? - I mean, like, with sex.
Did he help you with his penis? Did you sleep with him?
oh, my God, Gary.
What is wrong with you?
- One meat bag! - Meat bag! Thank you!
See you next month.
[WHISPERS SHARPLY] That's irrelevant.
Is it really irrelevant, though?
You know, Stacey Turner was in my sci-fi group at school
and she had a crush on me for a year.
I've never mentioned Stacey.
Imagine if Stacey Turner just showed up unexpectedly.
Imagine how insecure that might make you feel.
What the fuck are you talking about?
[KNOCKING]
We need to have a proper conversation.
Yeah, uh, I'd love to have a conversation too,
but I cannot do this right now.
I only have 20 minutes.
I've only got 20 minutes too.
I was worried.
I was worried that the guilt you felt for David's death
was going to drive you to your own.
That's why I went to check on you that night.
Of course, I couldn't believe what I was seeing.
I was lucky to get away.
But, yes.
You bit me.
[SIGHS]
Of course, from that moment on,
I knew that you were telling the truth.
I'm so sorry, Anton.
Don't be. You unlocked in me something...
I didn't even know existed.
- What? - Freedom.
The freedom to finally be myself.
But how?
Well, you saw me before.
You saw my life.
I had the intellectual life,
with all the... delights
that came with that life.
But I was trapped.
Ironically, like a caged animal.
I just couldn't see it...
until I was able to FEEL it.
My great religion
is a belief in the blood,
the flesh,
as being wiser than the intellect.
We can go wrong in our minds.
But what our blood feels,
and believes,
and says,
is always true.
The intellect...
is only
- a bit... - And a bridle.
- D.H. Lawrence. - Yes.
Why didn't you come and see me?
I've got so many questions for you.
I feel like I've been carrying this alone all this time.
You're not alone.
I mean, isn't it a fucking nightmare?
It doesn't have to be.
But I mean, what have you done all this time?
Yeah. Yeah, Anton, what have you been doing?
As I told you at that hideous gathering of yours...
I've been roaming.
I know, but what do you do once a month?
Well, last moon, I was in Thailand.
I hadn't sampled the Northeast Asian wildlife before.
- There were a lot of monkeys. - Yeah.
Gibbons, specifically.
So, mostly, um, endangered species?
I don't fight my primal urges.
I live with no secrets, or shame.
I let my wolf run free.
How are you planning on raising your child,
if it's one of us?
Are you just going to lock it up?
Deny it the chance to be who it really is?
OK. We're done here.
You need to be going, my friend.
Mary, you're the only one who ever understood me.
And now you and I couldn't be more alike.
I know.
I know how hard it is...
to keep that part of yourself...
locked away from existence, caged...
..when what it really is telling you it needs...
is to run.
[GROWLS] Fuck!
We have to get you out of here, right now.
- Oh, fuck! - What the fuck?
Where were you planning on going tonight?
ANTON: I hadn't give it that much thought.
Mary! You have got to get down to the basement right now!
I know! Ugh!
Oh...
- Come. - What?
- What? Where? - No!
Where else does he go?
You can't take him down there with you!
Listen to me! You cannot go down there!
[GROWLING]
- Mary! - Just get down there!
- Straight ahead! - It's not safe, OK?
You could hurt yourself! You could hurt our baby!
- Do not do this! - I'm gonna be fine. Agh!
- Take this! It's expensive. - What?
Take this, please. I don't want it to break.
- Ow! - Oh, fuck!
