Any Questions for Ben?

Hey, Tom, how we doing?

OK, one, two, three.

Who's first up out of the...

Who's coming out?

You are. Perfect.

Listen to the music.

Remember, energy.

There's gonna be snow, smoke.

Some fire - that's bad. Report that.

Own This Club

You were amazing! Go out there.

Vingle. Drink responsibly.

Remember, it's 'low carb',

not 'low carbon'.

- They're loving it!

- Oh, yeah?

- Loving it!

- Great!

The slender bottle,

the whole 'it's so hot it's cool' thing.

- 'So cool it's hot'!

- Yeah!

Grab a drink! They won't be happy

until that's empty.

Freefallin'

Good job. Seriously. Great job.

Oh, whoa, whoa. Tom, Tom, Tom.

- Give one to your girlfriend.

- Thanks.

And get a girlfriend!

- We did well.

- Yeah. It went OK.

In two years time,

this brand could be anywhere.

You might be right.

I really feel like

we're building something.

Hey, listen.

I should probably tell you,

I'm... I'm actually leaving.

- Really?

- Yeah.

I just... The time's right. That's all.

What, after six months?

Thanks, Ben,

for six months of loyal service.

Well, seven, actually.

Thank you, thank you.

And now he's off

to casual sportswear.

What? Oh, come on!

Like I said in my reference,

if anyone can take

a clapped-out product

from yesteryear

and sell it to 20-something

metrosexuals, it's this guy.

- Thanks.

- Token of our appreciation.

Oh, I didn't get you anything.

- Katey?

- Well, goodbye.

- Oh... goodbye.

- And happy birthday.

Thank you. How'd

you know it was my birthday?

A little Google alert told me.

How'd you know

I wanted a heart-rate monitor?

- I rang Andy.

- How do you know Andy?

Your mum gave me his number.

Mmm... Uh... Katey, Katey, Katey.

I've, uh...

- I kinda met someone.

- You meet girls all the time.

I think this one's serious.

- Hey.

- Just in case you forgot me.

Oh, please.

As if I could forget you...

- Fleur.

- No, I hadn't finished.

I was just gonna...

- Should we grab a table?

- Yep.

- So, what's hot?

- Have you done Peru?

Gracias. Oh, wow.

This one's

the same as yours,

but with a 10-megapixel camera.

- Do you take a lot of photos?

- No. No. But 10?

- Just arrived today.

- Cool.

Only came out in the US,

like, yesterday.

- OK?

- Thank you.

- She's got a boyfriend.

- Understood.

- Have a good one.

- Thanks.

Surprise!

Happy birthday!

- Happy birthday, Ben.

- Hey! Steph!

I... didn't think you'd be here.

We weren't technically going out,

so I wasn't actually dumped.

- Oh, good.

- I'm still angry.

One sec. Put a pin in that.

I wanna hear the end.

- Hey!

- Mwah!

Happy birthday!

- He is gonna get changed, right?

- Yeah.

I didn't get to train this morning.

I've got this new program.

I wanna stick to

my timing intervals...

Bzzz.

- Too long?

- Little bit.

- Darling.

- Just some picture frames.

You just need to

put some little photos in.

Or I could just date her.

You know what Sam

started doing at 27?

Talking about himself

in the third person?

This is the year you need to go

from here to here.

- Legally?

- We need to talk.

- And we will.

- We will talk.

Now, where are we off to?

What about Japan?

We've got to do Japan.

- Snowboarding.

- OK!

Are you planning another holiday?

He just finished up work today!

They owed you

short-service leave or?

Cool place.

OK, guys!

Can I get your attention, please?

- Has everyone got a Red Minsk?

Yes!

Does it actually come from Russia?

New Zealand.

Cheaper potatoes, apparently.

To Ben!

- Are you serious?

- Proud of myself this morning.

Mate, it's Saturday morning.

We just had a party.

Yeah, I know. I was feeling flat.

But a decent hill climb,

it's amazing how good I feel.

The endorphins are pumping

right through my body.

- It's...

- Hi.

And now I feel flat again.

Don't, mate. Hey, don't do that.

- That's my T-shirt.

- Mate.

Your life.

How do you keep doing that?

- Stop that, alright? I envy you.

- No, you don't.

- I do!

- Really?

Yes.

- Which bit?

- Which bit?

God, where do I start?

All... the whole... thing.

I mean... what you've got with Em.

You know?

That stuff, mate. It...

And a career. Commercial

litigation lawyer. Come on.

Your triathlons.

Triathlons! That's something!

You know? What am I doing?

Dating models, going to openings,

earning twice as much as me.

I don't think it's twice,

but that's what people think I do.

No, that's what you do, Ben.

I live with you.

That's really what you do.

But that stuff doesn't mean

anything, Nick. Not like...

And Em... You know?

You know... Nick, seriously,

you've got it together, mate.

I mean it, you have got it sorted.

- Really?

- You're a cool guy.

- Thanks, mate.

- Alright.

- I'll get dressed.

- Great.

Um... you?

- I've got plans.

- You do?

- Yeah.

- She's...

- Good luck with that.

- Thank you.

Who's having

the porridge with honey

and biodynamic yoghurt

with a side of...

That's me, thank you.

And omelette

with mushroom ragout...

- Me.

... with a side of sourdough toast

- Me.

... and pork and fennel sausage?

Yeah, me. Thanks.

OK, well, dig in.

Sorry. Just this little audition thing.

No, it sounds exciting. What is it?

Uh... I probably won't get it.

- Acting?

- Presenting.

Well, of course.

I mean, made for it.

- You think?

- Yeah, absolutely.

Fingers crossed.

Which bit did you actually do?

Dad, we basically

changed everything -

- What about the vodka?

- No. That part is the same.

But we came up with those hats.

- So there is a fair bit in it?

- Oh, yeah.

- Honey, proud of this one.

- Happy birthday, darling.

- Oh, thanks, Mum.

- Happy birthday.

Ooh, 27, hey, sweetheart?

You know what I was doing

at your age?

Uh... the lambada?

- Listening to Wham!?

- That's not only funny, that's true.

- Dating a girl with shoulder pads?

- That's enough.

It was my first year

as assistant manager,

first company car.

- And it still looks great.

- Hey, I should've kept it.

Hey, thanks, Mum!

I thought it might be interesting

to read before you go.

Did you know that Hemingway

had written about it?

- No! Wow!

- It's a good read too.

Um... Here's the thing -

we're not actually

doing Kilimanjaro.

Had to delay the trip, but, uh...

Still definitely going,

just... matter of timing...

Don't, Mum. What?

- I'm gonna get those mushrooms.

- We're going, definitely.

If an alcoholic can climb it,

it should be a walk in the park.

Apparently, you do not go

in the rainy season.

That makes sense.

- Yeah.

- We're still doing a trek. Sort of.

- Where?

- Bali.

- Bali, eh?

Doing Uluwatu.

Mum.

That's me at 27.

Oh-ho-ho! Wow!

Mum did have shoulder pads.

She wore them well.

And Stephanie?

How's Stephanie?

Um...

Well, Steph and I are sort of, uh...

...in transition.

- What's that mean?

- I think our son's moved on.

Oh.

That reminds me.

I've got a new job.

Not too far out of town,

which is nice.

Not a big change. Basically,

doing what I was doing before.

And what is that?

One of the blokes at work
