Short filmTranscript
00:00Sometimes, when everything's ticking like clockwork, life feels like you're in a montage
00:08sequence.
00:30Yeah, it's the end of the day, but you're shining brighter than the moon across the ocean, like a super sunny megatonic ocean, I've got the whole world here with me, just having you.
01:00To love, is all I ever need, you made me feel so good, I can't believe that you were mine, to love for the rest of my life.
01:14Beautiful, let's have a look at the game, I've got a good feeling about it.
01:20Well, this is going to be a good day.
01:25Come on Melissa, it's game time.
01:29Relax, it's just a pre-season friendly, you'll be chill.
01:32Well, I heard that there's a bunch of under-21s joining this year and their cardio is out the gate.
01:37Ellie, Hobby Horse Roller Derby isn't about cardio, it's about trusting your horse when there's a gap and going for it.
01:43Let's show these rookies where they can stick their cardio.
01:46No!
01:48And then, you end up in hospital, and it's like you're starring in a Korean drama.
02:03If you like it, I like it.
02:07If you like it, I like it.
02:11Henry, it's great.
02:14The detail, the science, the hard, logistical, technical stuff around how time travel actually works.
02:21It's brilliant and surprisingly readable.
02:26But it's just...
02:30What?
02:31Well, I just kind of don't care.
02:34What?
02:35Look, this whole premise of a writer trying to invent time travel just so we can write a best-selling time travel book.
02:41Like, that's all fine and cute as a 30-second elevator pitch to a publisher when you're trying to get them on board.
02:47But it's like an eight and a half hour long, 355 page reading experience.
02:53Like, I just need more.
02:56No.
02:57Henry.
02:58No.
02:59Henry.
03:00No, look, I'm not doing that corny thing where the protagonist has to invent time travel to fix some mistake from the past.
03:06It's cliché.
03:07Henry, that is literally the only reason we care about time travel stories.
03:11I'm just saying, like, what if your partner gets sick and you could have been there to stop it and you just...
03:19Hello?
03:21What?
03:22Where?
03:25Melissa?
03:27What happened?
03:28I'm fine.
03:29Are you sure? It looks kind of bad.
03:31I said I'm fine.
03:32The only reason I'm still here is because the pussy doctor is too much of a pussy to discharge me because he's too busy being doctor pussy.
03:38Actually, my name's Dr. Casey and I'm not being a pussy.
03:41Melissa's just being monitored because this is her third potential concussion in the last 18 months.
03:46Whoa.
03:47The good news is the brain scan looks good.
03:49The bad news is we still have to keep you overnight just to make sure.
03:51Yeah, because you're too much of a pussy.
03:53Like those anxiety ridden Xanax popping kids from the Freeman's Bay foals.
03:57I think they know how to hobby horse.
03:58We really shouldn't joke about teen anxiety. It's a global health crisis.
04:01Yeah? Well, maybe they shouldn't have chickened out on the last chicane.
04:04If I wasn't on my period, I would have totally have sliced through them.
04:07That sounds like it would have been spectacular.
04:09It's just your records show that you've also fractured a hip, a rib and a shoulder all in the same 18 months.
04:15You know this stuff can really catch up to you.
04:17I'm talking early onset of arthritis, acute amnesia, even hypertension which could lead to complications during pregnancy.
04:23Are you saying I look pregnant?
04:24It'd be good for us if you did.
04:26I'm just saying, maybe it might be worth thinking about going down a level.
04:31Maybe joining the recreational division.
04:33Oh! You take that back!
04:34Look, we appreciate the concern but Melissa doesn't enter the rink for recreation.
04:40I'll let you two figure it out.
04:42Thanks.
04:43Pussy!
04:44So, um, I bought you a change of clothes and some toiletries in case you wanted to take a shower.
04:53There's also a laptop and some DVDs.
04:55Wi-Fi is pretty bad.
04:57Thanks.
04:58Are you hungry?
04:59I bought some snacks but I didn't have time.
05:02Oh my god, this is so cute.
05:04Wow.
05:05It's like a K-drama.
05:06Hmm.
05:07What if in the morning she wakes up with mild amnesia and Henry has to hand-feed her just to jog her memory?
05:12Huh?
05:13Nuguse-o?
05:15Anio.
05:16Hio nāti anai-o.
05:18Nani?
05:19Ow!
05:20What the-
05:21Nani's Japanese, you idiot!
05:24Can you two stop jinxing me?
05:26I'm right here.
05:27God, I hate K-drama.
05:29Uh, where are you going?
05:31To take a shower.
05:33Is that okay?
05:34Uh, yeah, yeah, sure.
05:35Here.
05:36Um, do you want some help?
05:39Or go yourself.
05:40It's just a wee concussion.
05:42Thanks.
05:48Sorry.
05:49Which one I'm-
05:50Did you want to grab like- we could grab you- we'll get more of these.
05:52Yep.
05:53Yep.
06:05I thought I said I'd be fine.
06:06Hmm.
06:07I played along.
06:08So you keep secrets from me now?
06:09You're upset.
06:10No.
06:11No.
06:12No.
06:13No.
06:14No.
06:15No.
06:16No.
06:17It's no-
06:20No.
06:21No.
06:22No.
06:23I thought I said I'd be fine.
06:24Huh.
06:25I played along.
06:26So you keep secrets from me now?
06:27You're upset.
06:28I
06:32Thought I said I'd be fine. Hmm. I played along so you keep secrets from me now you upset
06:41Too bad
06:58Too bad
07:10Hey, I'm sorry about acting all weird earlier
07:12I kind of got out skated today by some under 21 year olds and it freaked me out
07:17To quote Cougar from Top Gun. Maybe I've lost the edge
07:21To quote Rooster from the new Top Gun. It's not the plane. It's the pilot
07:27We'll get them back. Thanks
07:29and
07:31Thanks for
07:32Everything
07:34Hey, I put an offer in on that house and I'm 80% sure it's because it had potential and not because I was concussed
07:39I know you text me like 10 times. I think the doctor's right. Maybe you are a little concussed
07:46Maybe the over 35s recreational division isn't so bad after all
07:50Fuck you. I am not ready to skate with those soccer mums just yet. Okay. Can you imagine?
07:56Um, yeah, sort of
07:59I mean why can't you yeah, like maybe 10 years ago when I thought I'd be one by now
08:05same I
08:06Mean not a soccer mum per se, but you know
08:12Should we um watch a DVD?
08:16Yeah, um sure
08:18It's a good idea here
08:20Henry
08:24What are these?
08:26Okay, I swear to god. I picked these out at random
08:30Juno knocked up. Mrs.. Cheaper by the dozen? Henry have you been watching these?
08:34No
08:35No
08:35Okay, yes, but only because I was bonding with the e-baby to help with my riding
08:40We are not supposed to be catching baby fever here remember. I'm not
08:43Then why are you binge watching parenthood movies with an oversized tamagotchi? I told you it's for my riding
08:50Henry this is not an accident
08:53Accident. Accident? What accident? Melissa, you're all right?
08:57Melissa, you're all right? Baby, you're all right.
09:04Melissa, you're crazy. You're still playing hobby horse? You don't care about your body?
09:09Mom, I've already told you I'm at four weeks. I could get hit by a truck and I'll still be fine.
09:13What? Who opened the car? You killed them?
09:15I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I tell you something
09:18Doctor! Doctor! Oh, Melissa is being run over by a truck. Please please please please please please please
09:23Henry, I need you to get them out of here
09:25How? I don't care how. I've just put an offer on a house. They cannot find it out and about
09:29I, I, I, I can't, I'll be there
09:30Please! The police! The, my, my daughter, she's pregnant. Please come check the baby, the baby, okay?
09:37We didn't have every single scan. Wait, wait, wait, wait. Um, pregnant?
09:40Yes!
09:41Oh!
09:42That's weird. You said you were on your...
09:48Pregnancy supplements. Yeah, those pregnancy supplements really mess with my performance in the rink.
09:54Must be all the bloating.
09:56Oi, you didn't know? She didn't tell you this?
09:59Look, I think it's best if we gave Melissa and her doctor some space to clarify the situation.
10:06Why don't we go outside and let the professionals handle it?
10:09Doctor, can we get an ultrasound with the cardiac scan?
10:12Doctor, there's one called, uh, Fetil Echol?
10:15Fetil Echol has 24 weeks ago. No, Fetil Echol.
10:19Fodil Echol, Fodil Echol, Fodil Echol. That's bad, but let's get that bad.
10:22You can stop me!
10:25Look at you. This is what you do. This is what you do.
10:28It's more simple than one of the medical procedures.
10:30It's not a medical experiment from the heavens and the heavens to the earth.
10:35Doctor, would you be so kind to tell our parents about the global health?
10:39crisis affecting today's youth?
10:41Yes, yeah. There's, uh, I mean, there's quite, quite a few.
10:45The point you were talking about early on.
10:47Oh, yes, that's right. I was talking about anxiety.
10:50Specifically my own. Very big problem for my generation.
10:54Uh, I don't want to get too into it, but, um, I mean, it's largely to do, to do with work.
10:58And now I'm actually starting to feel it a little bit.
11:01Uh, sorry, where were we?
11:02You heard it?
11:03I was trying to touch his heart.
11:05He was a doctor. He was a doctor.
11:07You don't want to know why?
11:08You want to know why?
11:08You want to know why?
11:09So you've got him to be surrounded by all of the things that you have.
11:11You've got all the things that you have to be able to do with him.
11:13You've got all of them.
11:15Harry, you...
11:16You're so too late.
11:18We're all worried.
11:20But even though he's in the stomach, he's not heard of us.
11:23Is it?
11:24Why do you want to give Melissa a little bit of space?
11:29Mom...
11:30Dad...
11:31I'm sorry.
11:32I'm sorry.
11:33But for her health,
11:35I want you to give Melissa a little space.
11:39Let's go.
11:41Let's go, let's go.
11:49Why don't we worry about it?
11:50Why don't we all go to the other side?
11:53We're not going to die.
11:55You're not going to die.
11:56You're right.
11:57Right?
12:01Your wife,
12:02let's go.
12:03Let's go.
12:04Let's go.
12:05Let's go.
12:06Why don't you call me?
12:07You can ask her.
12:08You can ask her.
12:09You...
12:10Eh...
12:14Huh?
12:15Is it your dad there?
12:17No way.
12:18How's it looking in there?
12:22Clear!
12:23Well, no, they actually don't seem too agitated at the moment.
12:26Okay.
12:27Well, can I trust you to keep an eye on them?
12:29Yes.
12:30That means no making out with your eyes closed
12:32and no more pretending you're in a K-drama.
12:34Ah, I guess I'm neither, Captain.
12:37Yeah, what did she say?
12:38Shit.
12:42Shit.
12:46Melissa, the Hippocratic Oath requires me to honor your medical confidentiality.
12:50It doesn't give me license to fabricate a fictitious diagnosis.
12:53I'm not asking you to fabricate a fictitious diagnosis.
12:56I'm simply asking you to grow a pair and tell my parents that a low-grade possible concussion
13:00in the first month of pregnancy is practically zero risk to an unborn child.
13:04That's not what it says in Emerson's concussion care manual or in Williamson's manual of obstetrics.
13:09Hey, how's it going in here?
13:11It's a stalemate.
13:12Dr. Pussy here is still being a pussy.
13:14Okay, I've got some good news and some bad news.
13:16Good news, our parents have chilled out.
13:18Bad news, I saw Lisa outside and I think she saw me.
13:21What?
13:22Then why did you come in here?
13:23Well, to warn you, obviously.
13:25And lead a hunter straight to its prey?
13:27Are you trying to get us to discover it?
13:29If Lisa sees me in here, it's game over.
13:31She will order every test there is just to test my will to not strangle her.
13:35What to do?
13:36What to do?
13:37What to do?
13:38What to do?
13:39What to do?
13:40Dad!
13:41Get out!
13:42I'm going to the bathroom.
13:44Henry, get him back to the family room and this time make sure he stays there.
13:54Sorry.
13:55Yeah, you said he needed to go to the toilet.
13:57Like, it really wasn't our fault.
13:58You know, every time something goes wrong, she blames me.
14:03It's like that's her first and only instinct.
14:06I mean, it's not my fault she's here.
14:08It's not my fault her sworn enemy slash ex-fiancee's wife works here.
14:12And it's definitely not my fault our parents are here.
14:15I mean, who called them anyway?
14:16Oops.
14:17Seriously?
14:18I don't know.
14:19I guess I freaked out in the ambulance.
14:20Sorry.
14:21Unbelievable.
14:22You know, I'm working my ass off to keep up this facade of a fake pregnancy
14:26and instead of, thank you, Henry, you're welcome, Henry.
14:29How do you do it, Henry?
14:30It's careful, Henry.
14:31You're not supposed to be catching baby fever here, Henry.
14:33Oh, um, when and why did she say that?
14:36Yeah.
14:41All I'm asking is to be moved to another floor.
14:44I mean, you hate Lisa too, right?
14:47Terrible co-worker.
14:48Monster in the staff room.
14:50Hey, I'm talking to you.
14:52Hey, what's all the commotion going on here?
14:54Oh my god, Melissa, is that you?
14:56Oh, what a wonderful surprise.
14:59I'll take it from here.
15:00I swear I picked those DVDs out at random and I don't have baby fever.
15:14At least I don't think I do.
15:17Down the line, maybe, but it's not like I'm dying to have one right now
15:21just because I'm not hating every minute of faking this dumb pregnancy.
15:25Shit, I need to call Dave.
15:27He's looking after a baby.
15:29Henry!
15:30Okay, okay, I'll drop it.
15:31No, it's not that you may have contracted baby fever.
15:34It's the fact that you've shown your cards.
15:36Yeah, like, do you remember when I was with my ex and I wanted babies and she didn't,
15:39but as long as we didn't show each other our cards, there was no trouble.
15:42So what, you're saying Melissa doesn't want kids?
15:44Yes.
15:45No, I'm sorry.
15:46Uh, I don't know.
15:47That's not really the point.
15:48She now knows whether your card is compatible with her card
15:51and she also knows that you know that she knows
15:53and it's only going to be a matter of time before you want to know what she knows.
15:55Ignorance is bliss Henry.
15:56What are you, some kind of dummy?
15:57It's so simple.
15:58Right.
15:59That was so clear.
16:00Um, you know what?
16:01Maybe your cards will align then everything will be fine.
16:03Just one second.
16:04I'm sorry.
16:05So did you want babies?
16:06Oh.
16:07Um, yeah.
16:08Do you?
16:09Yeah, I do.
16:11Okay.
16:12Great.
16:13Do you see what I mean?
16:15Well, I'm glad we sorted out your issues.
16:18Me too.
16:19I thought that could have gone.
16:20I did.
16:21I know.
16:22Okay.
16:23Shit.
16:24Alright.
16:25I'm just going to give the machine up.
16:27Okay?
16:28Can we see that one?
16:30Fuck.
16:31Just go in there and distract them so that I can unplug the ultrasound on the PowerPoint.
16:38And then what?
16:39They won't know how to plug it back in?
16:41I don't know.
16:42I'm spitballing here.
16:43Henry, this fake pregnancy had to end at some point so maybe this is for the best.
16:46Yeah, and think about it.
16:47Now you and Melissa can graduate your relationship to the next level without the training meals
16:51which is ultimately what you wanted, right?
16:52But you just told me she might dump me now because I got all clucky.
16:56Maybe she'll forget.
16:58I mean, keep in mind this is actually her third concussion in 18 months.
17:01And whatever happens you two will figure it out like you always do and we will be right
17:05here with you.
17:06We should probably go.
17:07Yeah.
17:08What?
17:09Where's Heatherity?
17:10Yeah, let's go.
17:11Yeah, you just said you'll be right here.
17:13Yeah, but not like literally.
17:14Besides this feels a lot more like a family thing.
17:15It does, doesn't it?
17:16Get back here you two.
17:17Get back here.
17:18Get back here.
17:19Alright, should you just lean back?
17:21Just let yourself comfortable there.
17:22It's a little cold, right?
17:25Okay, it's time for the money shot.
17:30Yes, yes, yes.
17:35Hey!
17:36Hey!
17:37Hey!
17:38Hey!
17:39Hey!
17:40Hey!
17:41Hey!
17:42Hey!
17:43Hey!
17:44Hey!
17:45Hey!
17:46Hey!
17:47Hey!
17:48Hey!
17:49Hey!
17:50Hey!
17:51Hey!
17:52Hey!
17:53Hey, Hey!
17:54Hey!
17:55Hey.
17:56Yeah!
17:57Hey!
17:58Hey.
17:59If you want, I can blow it up on the printer and get some copies for the fridge.
18:02Oh yes please, yes please.
18:04Yay!
18:05Is this for real?
18:06Yes.
18:07Thanks.
18:08Thanks.
18:29All right, come on, follow me.
18:36I'm going to let Melissa get some rest, she's had quite the nasty concussion.
18:40Bye bye.
18:44How?
18:45When?
18:46I mean, I know how, and probably when, but still this is amazing.
18:50You're going to be a soccer mum.
18:51Henry.
18:52I'm going to be a soccer mum.
18:53Henry.
18:54What?
18:55Nobody is going to be a soccer mum.
18:56Huh?
18:57It's not real.
18:58It's just a black white photo of some abdominal tissue.
19:03I made a deal with Lisa.
19:08She was on to me.
19:09So, I offered her our spot at Sherrogate Brooks in exchange for telling my parents I'm pregnant.
19:17But, now our parents think you're pregnant for real.
19:21Yeah, which they already did.
19:23But, now they have proof.
19:25In two months' time we're going to have to explain to them that that picture on their fridge is fake.
19:29They're going to be devastated.
19:30And you think that they wouldn't have been if we told them it was a medical misdiagnosis like we originally planned?
19:35Yeah, but...
19:36Henry, I had no choice.
19:38If Lisa had told my parents the truth, then the last four weeks, everything we've done, the offer that we put on the house, that would have all been for nothing.
19:48And the only thing that's changed since we woke up this morning is that, for a brief moment, you thought that I was pregnant.
19:54And I'm sorry.
19:56Can we...
20:01Can we...
20:03...drop this and...
20:06...figure it out tomorrow?
20:10I'm actually kind of tired.
20:12No.
20:13You're right.
20:14I'm sorry.
20:15Nothing's changed.
20:16We'll figure it out tomorrow.
20:31You should get some rest.
20:33The thing I hate about Korean dramas, they take forever.
20:58It's been...
20:59...but...
21:00...not it's a lot!
21:01It's been...
21:02...for the time you say.
21:03...but...
21:04It's been...
21:05...when...
21:06...when you think,
21:07...where...
21:08...you,
21:09...which...
21:10...for the time you are.
21:11You...
21:12...you,
21:14...laska!
21:15...
21:17...
21:18...
