- Right? Yeah.

- Really?

- Really?

- He's always playing the victim.

If he was in your shoes...

Sorry, he can't be in shoes.

He doesn't have legs.

- I take that back. Sorry.

- You know what?

Sir, I'm so sorry, but I never thought

this middle-class bullshit was for me.

Handle it with him. Handle his life.

There's no policy on

how to deal with your wife.

- Yo, man, let's calm down. Hey!

- Whatever.

Sam.

- I can wait. Shall I wait?

- Can we do this later?

Let's get the account details

and the signatures, so on the phone,

- you can just give me the name.

- Dude.

Sam.

- Sam.

- Just leave me alone.

- Let's talk.

- F*** off, Max!

- I'm sorry.

- You're a dick.

Yes.

I'm a dick.

So.

What about a nightcap?

No, I'm exhausted and my back

is killing me. I need to lie down.

Me too.

And I've got a flight in the morning.

Oh, sh*t, that's tomorrow?

- Should I take you to the airport?

- It's fine. I'll ask Joel.

- It's fine.

- No, it's fine, I'll take you.

- Sure?

- I just said I'll take you.

Maybe...

Maybe it's a good time

for me to head back.

Maybe it's not proper for me to be around

while you're away.

You're probably right.

I don't want to burden her with...

Are you cool with him staying?

Because you've got to go to work

and I'm not gonna be around.

Gee...

I don't mind.

But... what did the doctor say?

You've got a point.

Don't want to leave a man in his state...

- Yeah.

- ...unattended.

Excellent, it's settled then. So...

who's gonna join me in a drink? Come!

You can't leave an old man to drink alone.

There's nothing to think of but sorrows

when you drink alone.

How about not drinking at all?

Have you tried that maybe?

Don't be ridiculous.

Come on, just one glass.

Just one little, itty bitty...

Okay, just one glass.

- What about you, Mr. Matshane?

- No, I'd fall asleep. I'm going to bed.

Babe, I'll see you after your one glass.

- Are you sure?

- Positive.

- How do you feel about life insurance?

- I hate the smell of those companies.

F***!

Hey!

- It's three o'clock in the morning.

- Yes.

Soon it'll be four o'clock and then five

and then six o'clock.

You know what they say, YOLO.

Baby, you should come here.

- Give him a massage!

- Got a flight in the morning, remember?

The airport, yeah.

Just wait.

Thank you.Baby, I'm coming

to take you to the airport.

Baby?

He's a cutie pie.

- Stop it, dude.

- I'm not a dude.

Listen. I'm every woman

It's all in... See, I'm not a dude.

- Maximilian.

- Sam, stop it.

- I just want Maximus.

- No.

Okay.

Switch off the light.

Hey, so...

I have a slight problem

I might need your advice on.

Look, I don't wanna talk right now.

Got quite a bit on my mind, okay?

What? When will you want to talk?

I'm only fetching you because I need

someone to listen to my problem.

I also need someone to listen

to my problem. It's not going to work.

When did you get this problem?

It must be a new problem,

which came after my problem.

- Do you think Heiner would f*** my wife?

- Woah.

That's a big problem.

What the hell was I thinking?

Bringing a guy like that into my house.

It's like bringing a wolf into a...

into my house.

Actually, I don't care

that he's got heart problems.

He's moving out.

He's out.

So what's your problem?

Well, I'm sort of seeing this woman.

- Go on.

- Who is sort of married.

- Sort of married or married?

- Married.

And?

She's hinting that she wants

to leave her husband for me.

What? Tabitha wants to leave

her husband for you?

- Who said it was Tabitha?

- Oh, sh*t.

Talking to your wife?

- F***.

- Everybody's seen you.

The hat, the jacket,

you were very clearly out on a date.

Do you mind turningthat music off

for a bit?

Everybody is so excited

about your talk tomorrow.

I'm just so passionate about...

I'm fascinated by creators and thinkers

who are shaping our continent.

Have you heard of Monsieur Bon Bon?

He is one of the most amazing

cultural commentators.

- I'll be sure to check him out.

- You should.

Postmodern, post-colonial.

Post-apartheid. Yes.

Mr. Tim.

Such a pleasure having you here.

We really are looking forward

to the talk tomorrow.

- Gonna be a hell of a crowd.

- I'm really looking forward to it.

- Good.

- Thank you for having me.

- Good to see you.

- Great.

Everybody's looking forward to my talk.

It's the talk of the town, baby.

Yep.

Yeah, I'm still hungover.

I didn't even go to work.

So...

Yeah. I just... One can't say no

to this guy. It's crazy.

I can talk to him. Let me talk to him.

He must go.

No, no, no. It's fine. I can handle him.

I can figure it out.

And anyway, tonight I've got...

I've got a lot of work to do today so...

I'll make sure he takes his pills

and I'll have an early night.

All right.

My problem is that everyone wants me

to be a grown-up.

It's like everyone is forcing me

to be a certain kind of grown-up.

My mother wants me to grow up.

My colleagues want me to.

Even my therapist is telling me to!

- You're in therapy?

- Everyone is. Aren't you?

No, babe. Not in therapy.

But it's okay. Which one do you like?

You choose.

Another thing is this whole

Johannesburg situation. I think...

I think I'm over it.

I can't be in this world anymore.

- Thank you.

- Thank you, bye.

I want to just pack my bags

and go figure it out.

Then go and figure it out.

- When you look at Heiner's life.

- Yes, tell me more about the Heiner.

Look.

A congregation. Let's go check it out.

I don't understand what the problem is.

I thought you felt the same.

- I do.

- Then what's the problem?

Hi!

We have to stop bumpinginto each other

like this.

- Is everything okay?

- Yeah.

Hay fever. Yeah.

I have to go. Joel, it was lovely

to see you. Goodbye.

Bye, guys. Good to see you.

Joel?

Huh?

Is she okay?

- Joel?

- Hay fever.

- Let's not interrupt the congregation.

- We'll be down the road having drinks.

- Feel free to join if you want to.

- Okay, later, later.

Sorry.

I got carried away and all emotional.

It won't happen again.

And I will see you...

tomorrow, and maybe...

we should go away

for a weekend together.

Okay, bye.

But the thing is... you're married.

The day the city of Cape Town

put an embargo on black people...

What's going on?

This is Cape Town.

I don't understand your beef.

Cape Town has always been like this.

You're not in the trenches of Soweto

in that Joburg of yours.

Now you're acting all cool here.

This is how you live in Johannesburg.

The only black guy in here is the waiter.

- Come on.

- I get what you mean.

I was thinking of moving to Joburg.

I like it.

I'm planning the move in my mind.

I just have to convince...

- Tracy, yeah.

- Yeah, convince...

- Do you guys need anything from the bar?

- Thank you.

I should be fine.

She knows.

What's going on? Are you and Tracy happy?

Is everything okay?

Me and Tracy are happy.

We couldn't be happier.

You're cheating.

Are you what they call a "blesser"?
