Oh my God.
What the fuck Jerry?
- Ow, Jesus, Mia! Ow! - Jerry, what the fuck?
- What are you doing? - Leaving you a note.
Well just send me a text, Jesus!
I didn't want to wake you up.
What's going on?
Read it.
I was having dinner with some clients.
They kept on buying this Aussie Shiraz.
I was too drunk to drive home, so I slept in the car.
But I think it might have paid off.
You got the PwC contract?
Boom! Brand new photocopiers on every single floor.
All supplied by JB Print.
How many floors is that, you ask?
Well, that would be... 41.
Wow. That's great.
Jesus, Mia!
I'm working my fucking ass off.
That's all I get?
Can't you just take the morning off?
God, we've barely seen you.
You think I want to work with these asshole clients?
I'm doing this to keep our heads above water, Mia.
I don't need you piling on as well.
Okay, well don't be so dramatic.
What else do you want from me?
Okay...
I've got a million things to do back at the office, okay?
And then I've got to drive down
for this conference this afternoon.
- Yeah, you said. - Listen, listen.
I know,
- I haven't been around enough. -
And I'm sorry, okay?
I just need a couple more days.
Just two more days and I'm back, I promise,
and I will shut all this shit down,
and I'll spend some quality time with the kids.
Actually, no. You know what?
No quality time for the kids. I...
I'm going to get rid of the kids.
- Permanently. - Well, I could do it.
I mean, what, do you want to keep them?
No, no. I'm kind of attached to the younger one, I guess.
- Okay. Fair enough. -
Look, I'm sorry, I've really got to go.
But it's only a couple of days, okay? You'll be fine
- without me. - Yeah.
I love you, baby.
You can't just go into my room and use my stuff!
Like what if I went on your Minecraft world
and deleted half of it? It's not fair. I'm telling Mom.
Mom!
- - Mom!
Tell Max he has to replace my moisturizer.
He's wasted like half the bottle.
My knees were dry.
Oh my gosh, it's Clinique, you knob.
Do you know how much a bottle of that is worth?
More than your life, you fucktard.
Olivia! Language.
Why'd you get that moisturizer, Olivia?
- Shut your mouth. - Was it for Wayne?
Who's Wayne?
I'm going to straight up murder you.
Who's Wayne?
- Her English teacher. - What?
I hate you.
Do you think she means you or me?
I don't know.
Hey, guys. I'm writing a list of everything that needs to be done
in the house after school. All hands on deck.
You sound like Nana when you say that.
Dylan's birthday's tomorrow.
Dad said I could stay at his house tonight.
- Well Dad's not here, is he? - Yeah. What else is new?
He's at a conference for the next few days, okay?
He's busy.
Mom, he sells photocopiers. How busy can he be?
Shut up Max!
What are you doing?
I've told you, Mom. I'm vegan now.
I can't eat all this processed crap.
Vegan food's the most processed.
Okay, you need to eat something.
Yeah, well, I'll eat something at school.
Also, if Max is allowed to go to Dylan's,
I'm gonna go to Taylor's.
I want to talk to her mom about uni.
She's about to make partner, and I'm on Head Girl track.
Since when do you want to be Head Girl?
And the credit card's for emergencies only!
Don't think I don't check the statements.
Mom, we know you don't check the statements.
What's going on with her? Have I done something?
Nah, she's just freaked. I told you about Mr. Ambrose.
- Wayne? - Yep.
He's new. All the girls think he's hot.
- Well is he? - Oh, totally.
Oh God no.
Kia ora e te whānau
Mōrena Sean!
Max. Hey, uh, Mia. I'm not going to keep you.
Just a quick reminder about Wednesday night.
And do you need any help from me?
- Oh, neighborhood watch. - Yes.
Your turn to host. Lots on the agenda.
I'm sure you've noticed all the excess road cones on the road,
which is not only a bloody nuisance,
but a total waste of resources.
- And the big kids - Yes, I'm sure.
who keep hanging down at the five year old playground-
So looking forward to it, Sean
Gotta go.
Okay, yeah. All right. Ka kite. Hey, and don't forget.
Hey, Max.
Hey, Mia.
- Todd's dad is such an asshole. - Mom!
Mom, you're not allowed to cut the line.
- Bye, Mom. - Bye, honey.
- Bye, Mom. - Bye, sweetie.
Hi, I thought that parking on yellow lines
was numero uno on the agenda at our last PTA meeting.
Hi, Bridget.
Oh, I'm so sorry.
I didn't realize you were unwell.
Uh, I'm not.
Oh!
Congratulations on making partner.
Yeah, thank you. Any day now.
Okay. Well, you rest up.
- See you soon, Mimi. - Yep, see you soon.
$68.20, thanks.
I'll just take the cheese.
Okay.
$20.
Maybe you should go to Pak N Save.
Thank you for waiting, Mrs. Bennett.
I've found the problem. Your account was frozen
when your overdraft limit was reached.
Oh. Oh, what's the overdraft limit?
Um, sorry. Because your account is in your husband's name,
you'll need to pop into a branch--
No, I just need access to my own bank account.
My name should be on it.
Um, I'm sorry. I just...
You know what? Forget it. I'll just ask him myself.
Stop it!
Mia!
- Hi, Monica. - This is so crazy.
I was just thinking about you!
Did you hear about the PwC contract?
- Yeah. - Amazing, right?
I hope Jerry gives you the credit, though,
because behind every great man
is a wonderful woman.
It's really sweet. Listen, I need to ask Jerry something.
Is he in his office?
Jerry? No. He left already. For the conference.
He said he wasn't leaving till this afternoon.
Oh, um, well, he called me from the road
and said that he got everything done. Quick Smart.
So, yeah. Made tracks early.
Right.
Mia, wait.
Sorry it's such a mess in there.
