Not Suitable for Children Page #2

Make yourself at home.

# Left fear encounter

# I've got to go because

# Something's opened my... #

Mir-an-da!

Do you want a baby with me?

What?!

Do you want a baby with me?

Mir-an-da!

Hey, I won't stay.

I'll just come in and say

a quick hi to your sister

and then give you guys some time.

You know Ava?

Is she still with Greggie Chambers?

Um, why?

Did you bring all your referrals

and things like that?

You should have information

and referrals and...

Yeah, somewhere.

Hey.

What you watching?

'Dirtgirlworld'.

Mum, Jonah's sitting on me!

Do you want something to eat or...

What?

I've only got a bit of it here but Mum's

oncologist should have the rest on file.

Did your guy ask for that?

Any of Mum's old records?

Jonah?

I just gotta make a phone call.

-Hey.

-Hey.

Thanks for, um, meeting me.

Yeah.

And sorry I haven't been

in contact much recently.

It's been so busy...

Jonah, we said six months,

no contact.

Where are we at with that?

Well, I don't know exactly.

Because I think we could be done.

I think we've...

No. It's four months.

It's been four months.

How's Greggie?

He's good.

So I hear.

How's Becky?

Uh, that's nothing.

It's just a party thing.

Couple of parties.

It's not going anywhere.

Oh, OK.

Um, why did you want to see me?

Thanks.

No worries.

I miss you.

Remember that time when we thought

you were, like...pregnant?

The first time or the second time?

Either. Either.

Yes.

Well, I've been thinking about that.

The idea of us, you and me,

having a kid.

Where does that sit for you now?

OK. What's going on?

Ava, lately...

Things in my life have just been

clicking into place,

and it's making me think

maybe kids, family and all that.

Maybe that's my thing.

Your thing?

Yeah, that I'm supposed

to be doing in life.

Now.

With you.

Oh, come on!

OK, Jonah, why don't you

tell me why we're really here?

What? This.

For this. Yeah.

What are you thinking?

Calling me up after four months...

OK. Ava, the thing is...

The thing is, Jonah,

that you are entirely incapable

of considering other people's feelings.

Ever since your mother died,

people have cut you so much slack,

and now you just crash through life

without even thinking about anything

but what you want in the moment.

I mean, as if I would want to have

a baby with someone like that!

# Two lost cousins

# And one new watch

# A chauffeur-driven dream

# Told us where to drop

# All of our feelings

# They're in the Porsche

# So no-one could avoid

# So no-one

could avoid

# Hold on

# To where you're from

# It's where your heart goes

# When you're done

# So let's say

# I'll come another day

# And maybe you'll understand

# I look into your eyes

# And you don't know who I am... #

I just need more time.

Jonah, you've been very lucky so far, but

with any cancer there's risk of a spread.

It's a small risk...

How small?

Apart from anything else, I don't have

another available time until the 10th.

That's over three weeks away.

The 10th is good.

When you're dealing with cancer, Jonah,

three weeks is a very long time.

I'll take the 10th.

Hey...we cracked a record on Friday.

Two grand, pure profit, after expenses.

So that's, you know, $737 each.

It's a weekly wage. A f***ing good one!

Oh. Cool.

I owe you two bucks, but...it's...cool.

It's f***ed, isn't it?

You know, if you want

to talk about it, it's...

..just...hit me.

What's the calendar for?

That's, uh, humiliatingly basic.

Yeah, are you just looking for

excuses to get me over here?

Sprung. You got me.

I rig all the computers to malfunction

once a week just to get you over here.

Sorry.

Yeah, no. Go. Go.

Gus, I'm at work.

You need to call Jonah.

You need to talk to Jonah right now.

He's pushed back his treatment.

And now he's going

to see Stalker Becky.

He's gonna try and have a kid

with Stalker Becky! He's spinning out.

He's already called Ava and...

I'll put him on. I'll put him on.

Oh!

Mate? Come on.

Unlock your door!

Jonah, unlock the door.

Jonah!

Hey, in the world according to Gus,

you're off to conceive

a child with Stalker Becky.

Is that actually what's happening here?

Do you reckon you're feeling

so intense about this

because it's being taken away from you?

Yeah. That's exactly how it feels.

Aren't you worried that

the feeling might fade away in time?

Because it'd be pretty bad if it did

and you were stuck with a kid

you'd had with Stalker Becky.

She's not a stalker! She's my girlfriend.

Could be my girlfriend.

Becky from the past few parties?

And that whole time last year.

There was a whole time, Stevie,

we were sleeping together.

I thought that was Gus.

Well, she slept with Gus more back then

but she liked me better.

I think.

Actually, I know, 'cause she told me.

Told me I was better.

OK.

Jonah, I don't think

you should get on this train.

You know, there are other ways.

There's adoption or donor sperm...

What? Come on!

You just don't get it,

'cause you hate kids.

I don't hate kids.

Yeah, you do. You call babies 'aliens'.

I just don't personally

want an alien for myself.

You know what, Stevie,

I don't expect you to get this.

And I don't care what you think.

Oh, well... OK, fine.

And I hope for your sake

the baby only has one head,

because the amount of drugs

that girl's taken, you never know!

Hey. stranger!

Hey, could we just talk?

We have to be quiet.

My flatmate's next door.

Becky, I was thinking...

I have to be at work in 45 minutes so...

You remember that lump you found?

My uncle had the same thing.

In his prostate.

That's not the same thing.

That's prostate.

You would've made

such a beautiful father.

Really?

You just have this playfulness about you.

Your aura.

Becky...

Mmm?

I've got three weeks of fertility left

and, I know it's a long shot,

but is there any chance, at all, that you

would ever consider trying for a kid...

..with me?

Really?

Jonah?

Really?

Yeah.

Jonah!

Oh, my God!

Um, Jonah, can I just, um...

Do you...

I guess I just sometimes feel that

things are a little bit uneven between us,

the way we feel.

Oh, yeah. That's 'cause

I've been f***ed up!

No, it's...

Yeah. Yeah, Becky.

Becky, I've been a total fuckstick.

'Cause you see me, you know?

You really see me.

I guess...

And...

I like having sex with you and everything.

I just never saw us as, like, a couple.

It's OK. We can still do this.

Sorry, brother, not now.

We were only together for,

what was it, three weeks?

Feels like more than that.

Like, in intensity.

We were meant to go to

my sister's house-warming,

and you just didn't show.

Well, it wouldn't be like that with a kid.

Obviously, I'd get a diary.

Jonah, Jonah,

it's nothing to do with you, really.

I mean, even if you were

really reliable and stable

and had lots of money and

a good career, were really smart.

It's just that the timing's wrong.

What about Ava?

You were so in love with Ava.
