It's Our Time

I remember him.

- You're listening to Sunnyside Up 'n Up

and that was a song request by Aryan.

I know Aryan!

Have you ever had one

of those mornings where everything goes wrong?

You know, socks go missing in washing machines.

Well today I'm wearing odd socks.

Hey, me too Ali!

- If you're having one of those mornings, just call us

and tell us about it.

You know my motorcycle was running on empty today

and that's the next song, "Running on Empty."

Hey, Zoe.

- Guess what came in my mailbox today.

- You're not looking at an invitation

to our year high school reunion, are you?

- Yeah, that dreaded day has come.

- Yes, and what did we say?

- That we'd be super successful doing exactly what we loved

and that we'd rock up in a limo?

Mmm.

Before we drank those five mojitos.

Five?

I think it was closer to 10, babe.

So, are we going?

- Yeah, let's just pop in at the end.

Look, we always said we'd follow our dreams,

so that's what we're doing.

You know life is too short to question whether

or not we made the right decision or not.

And did you?

- What? - Make the right decision.

With the baking and everything.

Yeah, of course.

I mean, business is booming.

I can barely keep up with orders.

I've just got into another cafe.

And they're the best tasting muffins in Sydney,

thanks to the secret recipe your mum gave me.

Yeah well, she always believed

in you more than she believed in me.

- Oh don't say that, she believed in you too.

What do you mean?

She always wanted me to be a doctor or lawyer.

- Em, if she was here today she'd be so proud of you.

How did you go with that film grant last month?

Oh that?

What do you think?

Same ol' same ol'.

- Well look, maybe the script is just not there yet.

What?

- Well okay, maybe that stupid grant isn't for you then.

You're always saying that.

- Yeah and I'll going to keep saying it until you get it.

What if my mum was right?

What if-

Oh hey, sorry, I've got to go, someone's at the door.

- Suppose you know what time it is?

Geez, already?

Look No looks or buts.

Where's my money?

Here's the thing.

I don't have it on me.

Uh, I mean, I do have it.

Just not today.

Can you come back next week?

- Why does it seem like I've been coming back

"next week" every month for the past two years?

- I promise I'll have it next week, okay?

Thank you. - Hey!

30 days.

What?

You can't be serious.

I'm serious, alright

Tonight?

- Good morning you're listening to Sunnyside Up n' Up.

I'm Ali Lin.

We have a song request by Ben, It's "Loser."

My God, is that the time?

- You're listening to Ali Lin on Sunnyside Up 'n Up.

Our next song is "Use" by Gwyn.

- Hey, hey you're squishing them.

I'm sorry, it's just...

- Look, it's going to be fine, okay.

Look, your film is probably not there yet.

What do you mean?

- Well, I mean, I read the draft you sent me.

It's kind of missing your heart.

It's an action film!

Yeah but what's the message?

- There's no message, it's an action film, okay?

Look, I have to get this up this year.

I finished film school ages ago.

It's now or never.

Don't say never, Emilia.

You made that web series.

Oh everyone makes web series.

- Oh okay, it still has to have a message though.

It's missing your heart, your soul.

Like it's missing you.

Look, you've got plenty of time.

There's no rush.

- No, I don't have plenty of time, okay.

I need to get this up asap.

I need to get funding.

Why are you counting them all?

- Because Mrs. Hunstead turns 100 today

and her kids want to make sure

that she gets exactly 100 muffins.

- Well do you think she'll notice if I take one?

I know you so, I made extras.

Thank you, you're the best.

Alright so, about your film-

- Ah, I don't have time to talk about this, okay.

I've got to go to Film Reach

and find out why they rejected my application.

Is that what you're wearing?

What?

Yes, yes.

I have to go.

Good luck!

- Yes, I can't wait to hear from you.

Thank you so much for calling.

Okay, bye.

Oh God, if I have to hear

one more Aussie indie horror pitch,

I swear to God, I'm going to kill someone.

Hi.

- Do you have an appointment today?

- No. - Tracey, I thought I told you

to clear my schedule this morning?

You must be the new cleaner.

Oh, no.

I'm not here to clean.

- Tracey, you sent someone into the wrong room.

Can you come to pick her up please, thanks.

- No, I mean technically she didn't send me in here.

But I'm not the cleaner.

You may not remember me.

But you rejected my application.

Nicole Ho?

No.

Aby Okoro?

No, Emilia Kong, actually.

It's certainly wasn't the one

with a giant smiley emjoi with a trophy

on the front was it?"

- I thought that added a personal touch.

Oh God.

- Oh, and this is just a thank you for hearing me out.

I just wanted the opportunity to convince you

that I think you made a mistake rejecting my application.

- Usually when people bring in gifts,

it's best to do it a little more discreetly.

A box of chocolates, a bouquet of flowers.

Is this your first bribe?

Ah no.

No, and it's not a bribe.

It's just brunch.

I do like these muffins.

Five minutes.

Okay, thank you.

Alright so, look, I just really wanted to tell you-

Yes, Tracey?

He can't make it.

- Okay, just reschedule til tomorrow.

Great.

Sorry.

- I just wanted the opportunity to tell you-

Hold on.

Yes Tracey, what is it?

He can't make it.

Okay, maybe we'll do Friday.

Two p.m., sound good?

Okay.

- I've wanted to be a filmmaker ever since I was a kid,

and then my mum passed away and-

Yes?

Jenny Mobbs is on line one.

Oh yes, put her through.

Jenny, hi, how are you?

Congratulations on getting the funding,

I knew you could do it.

Yeah I know, she's great, right.

I mean, she...

Um, sorry I'm just in the middle of a meeting right now.

Maybe you can call back in five minutes

we can discuss where your funding is going to go.

Okay.

Okay great, bye.

Was that Jenny Mobbs?

The Jenny Mobbs?

But she got funding last year?

- I, look, I don't know where the funding goes.

Don't shoot the messenger.

- It's just that her production company

is worth millions now.

I don't make the rules.

Now let's look at your production, shall we?
