One More Shot

The 1900s are almost over,

and the new millennium's about to arrive...

I'm kind of hoping society collapses. Work sucks!

No, no, no, we're all just going to get shit-faced.

This morning, staff have been standing by

to handle bug related problems as midnight strikes...

There's a Y2K problem

and nobody's saying what's going on...

...fly to Perth, but darling,

I am frightened of the big Y2K bug...

It's a hoax!

I just hope I get a new year's pash...

A couple of wild cards from the North Shore,

and what are you girls getting up to tonight?

It's New Year's Eve! Whoa!

Oh mate, it's a beat up. I just wanna get smashed.

Slip, slop, smashed.

There's still a few hours to go until midnight.

We're counting down the top hits of the nineties.

I'm sure you all know this one.

["Dreams" by The Cranberries playing]

Hi there. My name is Dr. Minnie Vernon.

Can you please tell me your name and your date of birth?

Can you please confirm your name and your date of birth?

And what operation are you having today?

- - Good...

I am never doing this again.

Hi Lucy. How you doing?

My name's Dr. Minnie Vernon. I'm an anaesthetist.

I understand you'd like an epidural today.

Oh, give me the drugs!

Lucy, I think if you just give it a little bit more time.

Well, it's really just about what you want, Lucy.

I'm here to help you out. So would you like the epidural?

- Yes. Thank you. - Great.

Um, so let me explain that procedure to you.

It's just an injection in your back.

It's the size of a hair--

Why are you eating a sandwich? Where's my apple juice?

It's been hours, I was about to faint.

Fine! I'll go back for it.

- Minnie. - Cameron.

You know her?

Yeah, Minnie and I are old friends.

- Cam and I were engaged. - Oh my God!

Ronny, is this the ex?

Hey Lucy, look at me. You don't need drugs, okay?

So Ronny, a baby? Congratulations.

It's funny though because we kind of broke up

because you said you didn't want kids.

We broke up because you kind of slept

with your best mate, Joe.

Keep breathing.

Okay, but you did say that you didn't want kids, didn't you?

I didn't want kids, then!

Okay. We broke up like six months ago, so...

What?

It was two years ago. Tell her.

Oh, wow.

Oh yeah. No, he's right. It was definitely two years ago.

Time flies, hey?

Still though, I'm pretty sure you said

- you never wanted kids. - With you.

It's coming. Do I lie down now?

Gotcha.

No, no, we keep standing and Lucy

we're going to bear down like a coffee plunger, okay?

You're doing amazing, babe.

That's it. Keep breathing.

- Okay, so Lucy, just a couple-- - Get out!

Yes, absolutely.

Min!

Why aren't you dressed?

Um, I'm not coming.

- What? You have to come? - I'm really tired.

I had a long shift and it's just going to be

a bunch of boring couples anyway.

Ah, it is an intimate gathering

of some of your closest friends who would all love to see you.

Besides, Rodney wants to have a big one.

Yeah, nah. I'm just going to stay on the couch. Sorry.

You know, a fold-up couch

is actually supposed to fold back up.

Oh, good. We're having the conversation.

What conversation?

The "you leaving" conversation.

Are you kicking me out?

Minnie, I know that things have been hard

since Cameron dumped you and Joe left.

Yeah...

- But Max and I... - We want the room back.

Oh, that's Rodney.

Better get that. Tell him I'm not coming.

One second.

Hey.

G'day, we need you to bring some ice, like four bags.

Pia!

Hey, Mum and Dad are here. Where's the monitor?

- The monitor? - Baby, let's go...

I dunno. I think I left it in Joe's room.

- Does she need it? - Yeah.

Sorry, baby's first night away.

- Did you just say Joe's room? - Oh, shit.

Is Joe back?

Yeah, he got in this morning.

Joe's back. Put him on.

Yay.

He's asleep. Look, I didn't say anything, okay?

- He wants to surprise you. - Okay.

- Minnie's not coming. - You have to come.

I'm turning the clock back tonight.

Rodney is off the leash.

I am, don't worry. I'm definitely coming.

- Okay. - Hey, Rodney.

- Yeah, - They're leaving.

- Okay. - Are you saying bye?

Yep, be there in a second. Thank you. Okay.

- Okay. Don't forget the ice. - Yep. Bye.

["Deeper Water" by Deadstar playing]

- You know it's a costume party? - Yeah.

- So what are you going as? - Ah, I'm going as 'Friends'.

- Oh, which one? - All of them.

Perfect.

Oh great, you're finally going to drink that?

No, it's a gift for Joe.

Oh, no. It's a gift for you, from me.

I got it in Mexico for you 10 years ago.

Oh shit.

Do you think tequila goes off? Probably, hey?

Hey, after what happened at the hospital today,

I don't want you to do anything rash.

Oh, Flick, it's going to be fine. Okay?

We're just going to, going to have a few drinks

and see where the night takes us.

Well the night usually takes you and Joe to Bang Town.

Here we go. This will do.

Party time.

- Do you need to wee? - No, Mum.

["Sorrento Moon (I Remember)" by Tina Arena playing]

Ah, you didn't tell me Rodney was loaded.

Yeah, somehow he always managed to fall ass backwards into--

Oh, look at the water feature.

I need to wee.

Hey, try not to fall on Joe's dick before we get inside, yeah?

What time is it?

You know what time it is.

Party time!

- Rodney told you, didn't he? - Yeah. Yes, he did.

Wait, who are you supposed to be?

Um...

Nineties legend - Minnie Vernon?

Nice of you to make the effort.

Yeah well, who are you supposed to be? A bag of dicks?

Yeah.

Jeez. You don't waste any time.

It's party time. Get on it.

No, I can't. I think I'm allergic

- To tequila? - Mm.

- New York's changed you, mate. - It has actually.

You know, just before we go in--

Alrighty then!

Hey...

What's going on? All good? Good...

What's ah -

where's your costume?

I didn't have time. Does it matter?

No, it's just silliness, isn't it?

Bring the ice?

I didn't, sorry.

Perfect. Um...

Well thanks for coming, mate.

Is this yours?

Yes. Weird.

Yeah. Come in. I want to show you something.

Okay.

Rodney, where's the ice?

Minnie! I didn't think that you were coming.

Hey Pia, long time no see.

Yes! We missed you at the birthday.

Oh, sorry. I thought it was a kid's party.

It was... Our kid's birthday party.

Have a Sea Breeze. They just, they just need some ice.

Have you told Minnie about the, the flight path?

- He thinks I'm overreacting. - No, no, no, no, no.

Everyone should know.

So, when Y2K shuts down all the computers--

- If! - When!

Planes will literally start falling from the sky.

I mean, what do I know? I just work in IT.

- Well, worked in IT. - And you're a real doctor.

Okay...

Hey, do you think they know that I'm The Nanny?

Ta-dah!
