Fisk

May, I'm doing juice.

Do you want juice?

- What? - Juice? Do you want juice?

No. And don't use the juicer, you'll wake Helen.

What?!

Morning, Helen. How was your weekend?

Yeah. Good, thanks.

- What did you get up to? - Um...

Made some pretty good soup.

- That's nice. - Yeah.

- Brought the leftovers for lunch. - Good for you.

Is that all?

I don't know, do you have

any questions for me about my weekend?

No. I don't think so.

Alright, then.

What was that about?

Maybe she wanted some of your soup.

Maybe. It's pretty good soup.

Hey, Fisk, you busy?

Ooh, I feel like that's a trick question.

If I say no, you'll wonder why I'm not busy.

If I say yes, you'll think I'm rude,

'cause I'm kind of saying, "Get out of my office,"

- "I'm busy." - You finished?

- Yep. - There's a Popovitch

coming in at 11:00. I want you to take it.

- A whatavitch? - Popovitch.

Might want to hide your purse.

Purse?

I'm not an old woman. Who says 'purse'?

Raymond, I need you to hide my purse.

There's a Popovitch coming in.

Don't really know about the social...

- One of each... - Yeah.

Hey.

Don't look now

but I think there's a clown in reception.

Is it someone's birthday?

I said don't look now.

That's Eileen Popovitch. She's your 11 o'clock.

Is she circus folk?

Fun.

Hi.

Alright. Miss Popovitch,

So, I do understand...

Unfortunate...

...ly.

I...

Sorry, I think you accidentally dropped the spoon into your...

- Purse. - Pardon?

Never mind.

What I was saying, the problem is

I can't grant you power of attorney

without your mother being present.

- But she's demented. - Right.

And is that why you want this authority?

So that you can make decisions

about her health and wellbeing?

No, no. I need to make the decisions

about money.

She can't be trusted.

- She's demented. - OK. Well,

whether your mother is demented or has dementia,

which I believe is the preferred way of saying it,

I can't do anything...

We...

I'm sorry. We need to...

That's my...

That's my diary. So...

Did you want to make another appointment?

Yes. Let's make another appointment.

- Yeah. - And then you can give me

power of attorney.

We'll get your mother in

and you can just help yourself to some...

Free stationery items

to go with your free teaspoon.

- Hey. - Hello, Helen.

Hello, Roz.

- How's your morning been? - Good, thanks.

Sorry, did you want to use the microwave?

No, no. I'm just saying hello,

having a friendly chat.

There's nothing wrong with that, is there?

No.

Sorry. I just thought we'd already had our chat this morning,

remember in reception about the soup and the...

Weekend and stuff.

There's no statute of limitations

on friendly chitchat, Helen.

Put a cover on that before you put it in the microwave.

Will do.

Good morning, fine sir.

I am looking for one Ms Helen Tudor-Fisk.

Nice office.

I'm just going to uh...

Pop a few of these down.

I'm doing a festival nearby.

You might want to come. Yeah. Have one for yourself.

Tell your friends, um...

'Cause we need ticket sales to go up as well a little bit.

Hey, there's a guy called William in reception to see you.

He says he knows you.

Oh, not William Ford?

- He just said William. - Handsome black guy?

- I don't know. - You don't know if he's black

- or you don't know if he's handsome? - Both.

I don't see colour, or handsome.

Do you see age?

How old do you reckon he was?

Pretty old. I reckon maybe, like,

- 40? - Wow. That's so old.

- Did he seem up himself? - Yes. Definitely.

He called me "fine sir".

Shit.

Fisk, I just met your ex-husband in reception.

He's quite the good-looking rooster.

Mmm...

Helen.

Nah. Nah.

Come on. Out of here.

OK.

A little... Friendly hug?

Why are you here? What do you want?

Oh, God. That's my boss. Get over here.

It's lovely to see you, too, Helen.

I'm actually here for the literary festival.

I have some complimentary passes.

Oh, please. As if. No.

Quickly, what do you need?

I was going through a few things, and I found this,

I ordered it for your birthday last year,

- but, well, you know... - Then you left me,

for an older woman. I remember.

To be fair, Hels, you're an older woman.

Oh, h... I'm not 63.

God, you two are like Harold and Maude.

Oh, that's showing your age. Oh, here it is.

Oh... OK. Well, now I feel bad.

- That is really nice. - It is, isn't it?

Hey, can we get a coffee? There's a few things,

- I need to talk to you about. - No. I can't.

Hels, please, can we get a coffee?

- I just want to get a coffee. - I can't. I'm banned.

Oh, of course you are.

Did you suggest there should be a limit

of three takeaways per customer?

No. But that should absolutely be the rule

especially during busy periods.

Ooh, I know, did you suggest to the barista that it's easier

- to froth and talk at the same time? - No, but again,

that's not an unreasonable suggestion.

You know I'm not saying you can't chat to customers,

but just keep the line moving, talk and froth, people,

- talk and froth. - Oh, I know.

- Did you tell him that his... - Hey. Hey.

Could you just get us some takeaways?

- Yeah. OK. - Thank you.

Oh, hey, I don't... I don't have my wallet.

There you go. Use my money.

It's your favourite.

- I'll pay you back. - Ooh, I bet.

I think it would be a terrific way to cut through.

People love videos on the internet.

Yeah, I'm not sure people love probate law videos.

Maybe if we did a cat video or...?

Ray, I was just saying

I think Gruber & Gruber should do

- a promotional video. - Maybe with a cat in it?

Won't be doing anything for Gruber & Gruber.

Just found out we can't trade under that name,

while you're suspended.

Can you get on to that, George?

Knock one of those Grubers off for me, mate?

- Oh, no. - You'll need a ladder.

And you might want to start with the second one.

Other it would be "& Gruber",

which would look ridiculous.

Yeah. I know.

I know. I know. It's our dream.

I-I want shared custody of Arthur.

OK. It's 'Artie'.

And how would that work?

- You live in Sydney. - Well, six months on,

six months off.

Oh, my God, you're serious?

You just took him. We never discussed it.

Yeah. He's my dog.

You can't be content with just taking the house,

and my self esteem?

You don't get it. I'm an artist,

- he's my muse. - Well, he's a pretty shit muse.

You haven't written anything for 10 years.

Hurtful.

Alright, there hasn't been another novel, but,

I've been doing a lot of poetry,

there's been some journaling,

I'm doing a lot of talks at the library.

- Wow. All inspired by my dog? - Our dog.
