Vivarium

Today we are going to pretend to be trees.

We're gonna be tall, wonderful, green trees

with really long branches and lush leaves.

So, if you'll stand up for me.

What's that noise? Can anybody hear it?

- Wind. - Wind.

And then suddenly...

there's a storm.

- Bye bye. - Bye.

- Hey. - Hi.

How's the house hunting going?

Yeah, uh, it's okay, I mean, it's just been going on and on.

Well, take my advice, pounce now. Market's going through the roof.

Yeah, we're gonna drop and see estate agents later, so...

Well, don't get left behind, Gemma.

Okay, bye.

Who did that to the poor baby birds?

I don't know.

Maybe it was a cuckoo.

Why?

Because it needed a nest.

Why doesn't it just make its own nest?

Because that's nature, that's just the way things are.

I don't like the way things are. They're terrible.

Well...

- It's only horrible sometimes. - Molly.

- Bye, Ms. Pierce. - Bye.

Hey there, little lady. Come a little closer.

Nah-ah!

Come on, Mr. Tree wants to get to know you.

Ah, there you go. There you go.

My bark.

- Hey. - Hi.

Mm. So, how am I at the tree game?

- Yeah, you're pretty mediocre. - That's good.

Sad little things.

It's cruel.

Okay, there you go.

Hey, come on. Show some respect.

- Did you knock them down? - No, I did not knock them down.

I am a professional. Come on. How dare you?

- Professional weirdo. - Yeah, but professional.

Professional.

I'm gonna get my own wheels one day.

Just you wait, I'm gonna have, like, a big, you know,

muddy gardener's van.

- Sounds delightful. - Yeah.

Are you gonna change your T-shirt?

- What? - Your T-shirt.

- Seriously? - Yeah.

- Shit. - You stink.

Yo, seriously. Your mom, she's the worst offender, too.

She's hardly over there.

She's there all the time.

Well, she came with the apartment.

Yeah.

Hello.

We're just, um...

- looking... - Yeah.

- For something... - And you are?

I'm Gemma. This is my boyfriend, Tom.

Hey, what's up?

Gemma and Tom, lovely to meet you.

It's lovely to meet you too, Martin.

Yonder is a wonderful development.

Both tranquil and practical, it has all you'd need and all you'd want.

And as for the prices,

it's no wonder these houses are getting snapped up.

I know what you guys are thinking.

Suburbia.

But there's more to Yonder than what you see in these images.

We've lovely people, all sorts of people ready to move in.

It's going to be a diverse community.

Something different, a nice blend.

Where's it located?

Near enough.

And far enough.

Just the right distance.

We could take a look, if you like.

- Hmm. - Do you have a vehicle?

- Ah, shit. Unfortunately... - Yes, we do, outside.

Good. I'll get my keys. You can follow me.

We could arrange an appointment at a later date, if you'd prefer.

But like I said, homes at Yonder may not be available for much longer.

All right.

It's not exactly what we're looking for, but, um...

- I suppose it's... - Worth a look?

Good. We're all happy, then.

Jesus.

Martin, you are one strange and persuasive motherfucker.

- Oh. - Ready.

- Yeah, ready, yeah. - Ready.

Okay. Here we go.

Okay.

Let's get this over with.

Okay.

- Welcome to Yonder. - Thank you.

Number nine.

Many homes have the pretense of being ideal.

But these homes really are ideal.

Please go through.

Toasty.

- It's... - Yeah.

Oh.

The living room. A room to live in.

Memories will be made in the ample spaces between these walls.

Come.

It's good, it's good.

I love it. I love the single hue.

A welcome tipple.

- I'm... I'm driving. - Mm.

- Perhaps a strawberry. - Oh, no. I'm... I'm driving.

Blue for a boy.

You've got it all worked out.

Number nine is not a starter home.

- This house is forever. - Hmm.

A perfect environment for a young family.

Do you have children?

No. Not yet.

No. Not yet.

- The master bedroom. - Yeah.

If you follow me to the back garden.

A haven of nature.

It's good, it's nice here.

- Yeah. - If you wanna...

live here, it's a lot of space.

So, when're people due to move in?

Huh?

Martin?

Martin?

- Hello? - Nope.

- His car's gone. - Huh?

His car's gone.

Good. Now, let's get the fuck out of here.

Okie dokes.

Buh-bye.

- That guy was so strange. - Yeah.

Wait. No, no, I don't think this is the right way.

- Yeah, this is the way we came in. - No, is it?

Yeah.

Wait.

- What? You think it was back there? - Yeah, I think it was back there.

Let me just see what's around here, though.

Number nine again. Did we just do some kind of loop?

What the fuck?

Wait, did we... Did we leave the door open?

How've we just...

You want me to drive?

- No, I'm good. - Yeah? You're good?

'Cause I think we're literally going in a circle.

Tom.

All right.

- Give me the wheel. - What?

What difference is that gonna make?

Okay. Come on. Give me a go.

- You wanna go? - Yeah.

- You wanna go on the car? - Yeah.

- What are you? Six? - Yeah, I'm six.

Come on, just move over.

Fine.

I'll give you a go.

A little go of the car.

Okay. Let's go.

- Do you have your phone? - Yeah.

Anything?

No, there's no coverage on either of them.

Great.

- Tom. - What?

Number fucking nine again.

- Hmm. - Fuck this.

Ooh, you're not doing that in my car.

I'm opening the window.

You're such a jerk.

One second, I'm stressed.

Okay, let's go. Thank you.

Number nine.

Why the fuck do we keep seeing number nine?

I haven't seen a single car. There's nobody here.

If I see another row of green houses...

Okay, who the fuck would live in this place?

- I'm gonna lose my mind. - This shit is not possible, okay?

- It's not possible. - We got in here...

Tom, we have gone this way.

- I have gone this way that's... - All right, no, no, just...

- Just let me figure this out... - where you took the wheel.

Please, can you just listen to me once? I think we should take a left.

- I know what I'm doing. - You've done this, like,

- five or six times now. - I know what I'm doing.

I know what I'm doing.

It just goes on and on and on.

It's empty.

Oh, my God.

Hello?

Hello!

Let's go inside.

No taste.

I've never heard such silence.

Well...

Come here.

All right. Hold the base with your foot.
