00:00I'm just wondering if my whole life's been a series of mistakes.
00:16You only have enough cash flow for the next three months.
00:19I'm not good at maths.
00:20No shit.
00:21The only real relationship I've ever had is ruined.
00:24I undersold myself in the settlement.
00:27If I was to help, I would need a stake in the business.
00:30Just trying to change things and make us better.
00:34Tiny bit closer.
00:36Surrender and submit.
00:39You know, Simon's an osteopath.
00:41Yeah, I know.
00:42I'm not interested.
00:44I could have a look at your neck.
00:46I'm guessing it's all coming from your hips.
00:48I don't know how to do it.
00:50Do what?
00:52Be a woman.
00:57Pen?
00:58Penny?
00:59Can you hear me?
01:00Help me.
01:01It's not working.
01:02Just talk.
01:03What about?
01:04Your thoughts?
01:05No one wants to hear them.
01:06I don't know.
01:07This was your idea.
01:08No, I just can't do it.
01:09I should just stay in my office and write.
01:10By myself.
01:11Okay.
01:12Anyway, it's time for the morning meeting.
01:14Hope to.
01:15You're late.
01:16Again.
01:17These tech bros treat this like a rumpus room.
01:19This is disgusting.
01:20Helen, we need to get rid of them.
01:21Morning.
01:22Hey, Ev.
01:23Oh!
01:24I'm sorry.
01:25I love these ones.
01:26Sebel.
01:27This is a fancy patisserie.
01:28So...
01:29We have a new investor.
01:30What are we doing?
01:31What are we doing?
01:32We have a new investor.
01:33What are we doing?
01:34What are we doing?
01:35We have a new investor.
01:36What are we doing?
01:37We have a new investor.
01:38What are we doing?
01:39We have a new investor.
01:41So...
01:42We have a new investor.
01:43What?
01:44Peace, peace, no.
01:45Not as much as I was hoping for, but they're willing to provide private equity without day-to-day
01:50involvement.
01:51Who are they?
01:52They're a business associate.
01:54A person people have associated with.
01:58Anyway, the additional funds, I want to set ambitious targets and expand on the podcasting.
02:07I mean, how do we build a new audience?
02:09Now I've got some ideas.
02:10And how can we monetise it?
02:12Well, we need an actual studio.
02:14Or, I'm moving into your office with you.
02:16Or, paying off our bills.
02:18Helen, do you have to be such an accountant?
02:20Have a drink.
02:21You guys done?
02:22We need the boardroom back, like...
02:24Some champ.
02:25I don't remember the boardroom being part of your rental agreement.
02:29That's a face of over-involved parenting.
02:32The thing about Liam though, is this is very pretty.
02:35He might be a hunk, but he's got a rotten spirit.
02:37Get rid of them.
02:38We've got an investor.
02:39Helen, they don't pay rent, so...
02:40Yeah, the Aquadigio's giving me migraines.
02:42I thought you liked them.
02:43Yeah, we like them in the same way you like sweet Jan.
02:46Speaking of, what are we going to do about her?
02:49Nothing.
02:50She's good for traffic.
02:51You're definitely a man.
02:52Yeah.
02:53Agreed.
02:54Very masculine energy.
02:55We've also got tarts during the pot.
02:57The latest is Eve Life dumbing down women.
03:00They've called out GD.
03:02Oh no.
03:03Mike is going to do that thing where she smiles too much.
03:06Rinch is upset.
03:07Where is she?
03:09Late?
03:10Again?
03:11Sorry.
03:12Creepy courier alert.
03:13Oh, that's not a creepy courier.
03:16That's our investor.
03:18Him?
03:19Oh, Evelyn.
03:20He doesn't look like he has any money.
03:22He's wearing a tracksuit pants.
03:23Yeah, he looks pretty gommeless.
03:25Are you sure he knows anything about publishing?
03:27Or anything about sisterhood?
03:28Yeah, he has a stupid face.
03:30I think he's cute.
03:32Sorry to interrupt it.
03:33We really need to go.
03:34Alex is at Viv's and Addie forgot her science books,
03:37so we have to swing by school.
03:38Should we take your car?
03:40Oh, um, this is also my ex-husband.
03:43Did I mention that?
03:45No.
03:46Paul, you're in charge.
03:48Clean up the news.
03:49Bye.
03:52Thanks for dressing up.
03:53Did you just come from the gym or...?
03:57Look at them.
03:58Why did he stay overnight?
03:59What do you think?
04:00See ya.
04:04Hello, mate.
04:05Hey.
04:07I didn't really mean what I said about her family.
04:09I mean, who am I to?
04:10No, we're not back together, Mum.
04:12Oh.
04:13Why did you sleep over?
04:15It was nothing.
04:17Well, it doesn't look like nothing.
04:18Last week, she destroyed your primary school photo.
04:21That was my only copy.
04:24I didn't raise you to treat women like this.
04:26You're leading her on.
04:27You should start thinking with your head, not your...
04:29Hey, Mum, please.
04:30Come on.
04:32All right.
04:33Let's go.
04:34Go, quick.
04:35Her mum's coming out.
04:36Her attention was more on herself.
04:38Yeah, and she set a poor example.
04:39And you need to be mindful of that now that Alex is in a relationship.
04:43They broke up.
04:44Oh.
04:45I'll tell you later.
04:46How's Addie?
04:47Addie?
04:48Yeah, well, I...
04:49I don't know.
04:51Anyway, Sylvia, I've got to go.
04:53I'm driving.
04:54Okay, all right.
04:55Okay.
04:56Bye.
04:57Bye.
04:59So, who's next?
05:01Your accountant?
05:02Sorry.
05:03Well, I couldn't cancel.
05:05She charges like a wounded bull.
05:07Oh.
05:09Do you think Addie's had a first sexual experience?
05:11Oh, God.
05:12Can you please just ease me gently into a question like that next time?
05:16Not with a boy.
05:17With a girl.
05:18Is this about her wanting to change schools?
05:20She does?
05:21I can't blame her.
05:23You are dating the librarian.
05:25But that's got nothing to do with it, all right?
05:28She just doesn't want to go to a private all-girls school anymore.
05:31I think she's gay.
05:32And I'm pleased about that.
05:34It's much safer.
05:35If she wants to change schools, I'll support her.
05:37Me too.
05:39I guess.
05:48I won't get on my knees.
05:52Don't make me do that, please.
05:55Don't make me do that, please.
05:57I went away, but now I'm back.
06:05Don't be sure of that.
06:09What makes you sure of that?
06:12No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.
06:28Please stop.
06:29We'll head into the reed building where your first year lectures will be.
06:35I got drunk right there for the first time.
06:38Over there I shot a short film, New Wave.
06:41Fancy Wave saying no budget.
06:44Cameron Wiles vomited on that shrub there just after professing his love for me.
06:49So much happened on that lawn.
06:50I don't need to know any of this, alright?
06:59Feel free to sign up to a club.
07:03It's a great way to meet students that have similar interests.
07:06Communists, vegans, even metalheads.
07:08Also, there is a special tour for mature age students.
07:12Lot less walking involved.
07:13We're not mature age students, we're well aged alumni.
07:18Just try and broaden your mind on anything but the young socialists.
07:25Hi Paul.
07:27Yeah, a few hiccups.
07:29What's going on?
07:30Tart posted something delightful.
07:32Quick, quick, I'm at uni.
07:33Is Sweet Jane the troll?
07:35We didn't know.
07:36We need it.
07:37Sounds like they know who she is.
07:38Really?
07:39We have to turn the comments off.
07:41Or I moderate.
07:42Or trace her.
07:43That would be so easy for me.
07:45Oh would it Guy?
07:46So why can't you connect my laptop to the printer?
07:48I don't know.
07:50Printers are tricky.
07:51Just don't do anything till I get back.
07:53Also, I think Jeet's gonna retire.
07:55Resign.
07:56Resign.
07:57Resign.
07:58I think Jeet's gonna resign.
07:59Jesus Paul.
08:00I've been gone for three hours.
08:01So in a way, Heraclitus is the granddaddy of Greek philosophy in general and of, I guess,
08:14what becomes determinism.
08:16It's pre-Socratic, therefore character is destiny.
08:20And destiny is not predetermined and it's not bestowed upon us by some outside force.
08:26Rather, destiny is determined by your inner character.
08:29Like Plato, Heraclitus believed that everything about our destiny, everything about our future,
08:35results from the choices that you make.
08:38Nothing is fixed.
08:39Nothing is fixed.
08:40Everything is in constant flux.
08:42Nothing is permanent.
08:44Now at the other end of the spectrum, we have Parmenides.
08:48Parmenides.
08:49C-A-R-M-E-N-I-D-E-S.
08:52Parmenides is the bloke who asserted that the one true statement is, anyone do the reading?
09:01It is.
09:03Right?
09:04Now, if I say that this is a stool, what I'm actually asserting is that it is not a table.
09:12This stool exists and it cannot also not exist as it is not because that is what we call a philosophical contradic-tion.
09:27I kind of wish that mobile phones did not exist.
09:33Hello.
09:34Hello.
09:35Hi.
09:36Say hello.
09:38How long have you been here?
09:40Oh, wow.
09:42What a question.
09:43Ha ha ha ha.
09:44I mean, how long have you been sitting in on my riveting stool-based lecture?
09:50No, no, no.
09:51I was just walking by and I love all that Parmenides.
09:57It is stuff.
09:59Oh, thanks.
10:00That's very flattering.
10:01And out of interest, do you think that it is ethical to gate-crash a lecture where everyone
10:07else is a full fee-paying student?
10:10Don't they get Oz Study or something?
10:12Oz Study?
10:13These guys are about 12.
10:14What are you, 12?
10:15Oz Study is for over 25s.
10:17You could probably scrape into Oz Study at a pinch.
10:20Not that I'm making any assumptions about your age.
10:23Yeah, can...
10:24Do I have to leave?
10:25I think we can probably briefly pretend that you is not.
10:31So, Parmenides, easy to remember because Parmenides is...
10:42So what do you think, darling?
10:44I like it, Mum, but I just don't think...
10:47Well, if you don't like the idea of dorms, you can always live off campus like I did.
10:51But on campus is better for making friends in first year.
10:54Name two friends from first year.
10:56Whatever.
10:57Anyway, if you all live here as students, it looks like you run the town.
11:02It's very children of the corn.
11:03But with a lot less murder.
11:05It's exciting.
11:06I agree, but I just...
11:07It's perfect for you.
11:08Because the city unis are privileged factories.
11:16Oh, hi.
11:17How's it going?
11:18Great.
11:19We're having sushi.
11:20Sushi?
11:21I made a casserole.
11:23Addie says she has a meat allergy.
11:25And I've been a vegetarian from way back.
11:27Thanks, Kim.
11:28Can you put her on?
11:29Hi, Mum.
11:30Hi, darling.
11:31You're about as allergic to meat as Ginny is to wine.
11:35I heard that.
11:36Um, Mum, did you know that Kim used to be a model?
11:39He used to be on a catwalk all those years ago.
11:42I find that hard to believe.
11:44And he used to live on the streets in Melbourne.
11:46Oh, that I can believe.
11:47Hey, I heard that, Evelyn.
11:49Hang on.
11:50Don't be rude.
11:51He was addicted to drugs.
11:52And he lived in, like, a squat in St Kilda.
11:54Jesus.
11:55Yeah, no, he's, um, he's recovered now, I think.
11:58Kim's an ex-junkie, by the way.
12:00Oh.
12:01Well, he hasn't touched it in years, darling.
12:04Good.
12:05Uh, darling, Dad said you want to change schools.
12:08Yeah.
12:09Kim was telling me about this really fancy school in the bush.
12:11You learn maths and how to start a fire.
12:14It's a humbling experience to spend time isolated in nature.
12:18Humbling?
12:19Didn't Prince Charles go there?
12:21I love nature.
12:22Since when?
12:23Anyway, darling, let's talk about this tomorrow.
12:25Alright, good night.
12:27Bon nuit.
12:28Bon nuit, Mum.
12:29Night.
12:30That's a good night, friend.
12:32I can't work out whether Kim's a compulsive liar or a gold digger.
12:37Well, Jimmy doesn't have any money, so...
12:39Maybe he's just a really good human?
12:41I guess that's possible.
12:43Hi.
12:45Kitchen's about to close.
12:47Oh, it's only 7pm.
12:49Uh, anyway, I'll have the veggie pasta, please.
12:53And two chicken parmas?
12:55Something to drink.
12:57Hmm.
12:59Hello.
13:00Bronwyn Armstrong.
13:02Yeah.
13:03Yeah, you look familiar.
13:05Yeah.
13:06Communications.
13:07Print.
13:08Ah.
13:09You never finished.
13:10No.
13:11Well, I...
13:12Evelyn Jones.
13:13I was offered an internship at a women's mag and then two years later...
13:18Any drinks?
13:19Uh, what can you recommend from the wine list?
13:22Uh, I like red.
13:25Perfect.
13:27And a Coke.
13:29We just took Alex to Open Day.
13:32He's gonna do print and also a political science minor.
13:37Mmm.
13:38I'll let the kitchen know.
13:40So what, Addy just wants to change schools and you guys are like, cool, you can go wherever you want.
13:46But I can't make my own decisions or just, like, leave anything to fate?
13:49Oh no, fate doesn't exist.
13:50I learnt that today.
13:51Listen to this.
13:52It's our decisions that determine our future.
13:57Everything is in a constant state of fuck.
13:59No flux.
14:00Sorry, I can't read my own writing in your glasses.
14:02Nothing is permanent.
14:04There you go.
14:05Bon appetit.
14:06Do you remember that, uh, gender studies lecturer, Jane Day?
14:12Yep.
14:13She got fired for fondling a student.
14:15They don't fondle, do they?
14:17Why not?
14:18Guy parts are fondleable, aren't they?
14:21Don't come here, mate.
14:25If you're half smart and you look half smart, then you'll get sucked in.
14:30You'll stay on and do your honours and then maybe your masters because you've lost all sense of the outside world
14:36and then you'll be stuck here, overqualified and doing shitty jobs like pulling beers, phone sex, waitressing in a dump like this
14:43or to pay off your monstrous hex debt while your friends are out there in the real world living a life.
14:51Thanks, Bronwyn.
14:52Good.
14:53Oh, uh, also there's a terrible meth problem ripping through the town.
15:00Well.
15:01Maybe we should tell Kim.
15:03She was doing phone sex way before we finished uni.
15:07She was.
15:11He's happy.
15:12He's watching Big Trouble in Little China.
15:21This was such a magical time for us, wasn't it?
15:30Country air still smells the same.
15:34Was that the average part?
15:36Well, I can smell as your cigarette, which is definitely nostalgic.
15:41Remember, we were just in limbo, waiting for the internet age to erupt.
15:48You were always more into it than I was.
15:51Uni?
15:52The internet.
15:55We met in the computer lab.
15:57You got me to do that terrible film noir.
16:01I got a high distinction for that script. It was well formatted.
16:04I couldn't act.
16:05I had a crush on you.
16:09Hmm.
16:11I don't know why.
16:14Because you were shiny.
16:16And I wanted some.
16:18I peaked.
16:20I was plateauing and you were running.
16:23You were just a baby, John.
16:27You always had to talk yourself down.
16:30You weren't shiny because you were doing that whole Ethan Hawke thing.
16:35You were sexy.
16:36Just not shiny.
16:40Let's rate the mini bar.
16:44Yeah, you might find some long-life milk in there.
16:57Look, six-pack.
16:59Scored.
17:01And it's the full-strength uni beer.
17:03Students, they'll be back for sure.
17:05It's ours now.
17:06I sat in that uni lecture today just thinking about all the ways I'd failed myself.
17:23Uni.
17:24Fontaine.
17:27Our marriage.
17:28Yeah.
17:29Uh...
17:31Sylvie thinks that
17:34I can't sit in the discomfort.
17:36She says that
17:37every time I feel excluded, I exclude myself.
17:40I get in there first.
17:44She's right.
17:46Greeks were always right.
17:47right should we have tried harder at uni at our marriage

26:09I don't know.
26:10Gone for a run?
26:11I'm in here, mate!
26:13Why is he in there?
26:14Um, because he got really sick last night
26:21and he didn't want to throw up in your room
26:23so he, um...
26:27So he came in here and he vomited
26:31and fell asleep.
26:32You can see he fell asleep.
26:35Why is he in his underwear?
26:38He's having night sweats.
26:41Must have been the chicken parma.
26:44How are you feeling?
26:45Do you want to vomit?
26:49Oh, I do now.
26:51Gross, Mum.
27:05I don't want to go to that uni.
27:06I want to make my own decisions.
27:09I don't want to retread your steps
27:10or relive your memories.
27:13This is my life.
27:14It's not a chance for you to relive your stories.
27:17Yeah, fair enough, mate.
27:21But I didn't get to finish my story, Alex.
27:27You see, I quit uni.
27:28I never finished.
27:30That lecturer, Jane, the fondler,
27:36she bullied me.
27:38I had to see a therapist.
27:40I couldn't sleep.
27:42I stopped eating.
27:44I developed bulimia.
27:50She really destroyed my confidence.
27:52Made me feel insignificant.
27:53Picked on me for wearing lipstick, said I was part of the problem.
28:00Not the solution.
28:02She was a real cunt.
28:06So, I left.
28:07But I really wish I hadn't.
28:09I wish I'd stayed and worked it out.
28:14Because, ever since then, I've been trying to prove myself.
28:19And that sense of self has come through accomplishments
28:24and external validations.
28:27I was so scared of making mistakes.
28:34I really betrayed myself.
28:39Does that make sense, Al?
28:42Hmm?
28:43What did you say?
28:47Never mind.
28:54Bye, sweetie.
28:55Bye, Mum.
29:02You know, I've been thinking, ever since we stopped at McDonald's,
29:06that my career is the only thing that I've ever had that's truly mine.
29:10And I'm not willing to let that go.
29:13So, I don't want you to invest.
29:15I don't want your money.
29:19I'll sign the divorce papers and I'll lodge them.
29:22Promise.
29:25As soon as I can find them.
29:30You know, I didn't know about the bulimia.
29:34If I had, I would have tried to get you some help.
29:38Held your hair back or something.
29:41I don't know about the bulimia.
29:43I'm not going to get you some help.
29:44I'm not going to get you some help.
29:46I've had all these things.
29:48You know what?
29:49I'm not going to die.
29:50I'm not going to die.
29:52But I'm not going to die.
29:53I'm not going to die.
29:54Oh, my God!
30:10PHONE RINGS
30:15Jade?
30:16Hi, Evelyn.
30:18Hi.
30:19I'm so grateful for everything that you've told me.
30:23that you've taught me.
30:25I have learnt so much here.
30:27What?
30:28I just don't recognise myself anymore.
30:32I find myself drifting away from the stories that matter
30:34just so I can be number one on the leaderboard.
30:38And I don't want to compete with dumb reality TV stories.
30:42I want to write in-depth stories that matter.
30:46Gee, sorry, where are you?
30:48I can hear reverb.
30:50I'm in the office.
30:52Your position on the leaderboard doesn't reflect your writing.
30:59There are stories that have mass appeal and some that don't.
31:05It's usually the wrong way around,
31:07but the mass appeal ones pay their attention.
31:11I'm in the office.
31:13Your position on the leaderboard doesn't reflect your writing.
31:18There are stories that have mass appeal and some that don't.
31:21I just pay the bills, the wages, the snacks, the organic tampons.
31:28I'm not a good cultural fit.
31:32And I don't want to be.
31:34I know that.
31:37I just don't think I get the recognition I deserve.
31:44I think I'm leaving Eve life.
31:46Promise me that you won't exclude yourself by giving up.
32:00Don't quit journalism just because it's not as idealistic as you imagined it to be.
32:05You're not going to yell at me or trying to make me stay.
32:10I want to yell at you.
32:12But I know I won't make you stay.
32:14I say your name.
32:17I say I'm sorry.
32:20I know it's not working.
32:24I'll miss you.
32:25I know how the day.
32:27I miss you too.
32:28It's nobody's fault.
32:31No guilty party.
32:34We just got nothing.
32:38Nothing left.
32:40Evan.
32:41Hi.
32:42Hi.
32:43Hi.
32:44Sorry about the other night.
32:49I was acting weird.
32:51It's just it's been a long time since, you know.
32:57I'm just going through a bit of stuff, though, at the moment.
33:01I'm trying to work through.
33:04I just must seem crazy, but I'm not.
33:07I'm doing really well.
33:17Do you want to get a drink?
33:20Yes.
33:31It all catches up to me all the time.
34:01It's a deep condition.
34:02It's okay.
34:05Okay.
34:06You sit down and do it.
34:07It's the power of it.
34:08It doesn't matter.
34:09It's beautiful.
34:10It's nice you.
34:11It's great.
