"Mom?" "People always ask me, "why would you want to live like a bonobo?"" "And I always say, "well, why wouldn't you?"" "Are you tired of the world you live in?" "Has life let you down?" "There is another way." "Hello?" "Oh..." "Bonobos live in harmony." "Conflicts are rare." "And when they do occur, they're resolved peacefully." "Hi, it's Lily." "Leave me a message." "And I'll get back to you when i..." "So many people feel they have to live their lives by a set of boring old conventions." "Here at bonobo house, we don't." "Buongiorno." "We're back." "Ah, yes." "Hello, Helen." "Aren't you going to ask us how it was?" "How was it?" "Helen?" " How was it?" " Nice." " Excellento." " Excellente." "Now I know, you don't drink." "But everybody drinks prosecco." "Oh, you..." "You really shouldn't have." "Is Lily in?" "She's not, unfortunately." "Where is she?" "Boscastle." "Last minute trip." "Before law school starts up again." "We were hoping she could finally have that talk with Helen." "About Oxford." "I think Lily feels that Oxford was a long time ago." "It would just be so useful for her to talk to someone who's actually worn subfusc, just for that real insider..." " I'll ask." " Excellento." "When, though?" " What?" " When will you ask her?" "Time is of the essence." "Helen is off on her leadership training course on Wednesday." "Can I let you know?" "Well, when is Lily back?" "I'm not sure." "You don't know?" "I can't remember." "Oh, Judith." "She didn't tell you?" "No... no, no." "Mothers have a right to know these things." " I'll call her now." " You do that." "And let me know." "Pronto." "Mm." "Come on, Helen." "I try to avoid cutlery." "You want a bite?" "I'm here for my daughter." "Lily?" "Yes." "Is she here?" "She's out." "Oh..." "I can wait in the car." "Oh, no no no no." "Don't be silly." "I'm Anita." "Judith." "Lily may be a while." "Why don't I show you around?" "So you don't charge people to be here?" "We're not a cult." "You're a commune." "A community." "We're really very noble." "It's just our code of living is slightly unconventional." "Make love, not war." "The aim is to avoid conflict in the first place." "A high level of sexual activity greatly reduces the chances of one occurring." "So what, you just live in harmony and understanding?" "Hello, Eva." "Hello, Malcolm." "Won't you excuse me for a moment?" "Right." "Sorry about that." "I slept with Malcolm last night and Eva wasn't happy." "It's been resolved." "Ooh, that's fascinating isn't it?" "Mm?" "I like to keep a record." "I thought you said you don't charge people to be here." "No, no." "Everyone contributes." "Um, we've a little organic store in the market." "Lily is doing a shift there now." "Selling fruit and veg?" "She has a law degree." "Yes?" " Oh." "Sorry." " No, no." "Toby." "Toby, this is Judith." "She's... visiting." "Cool." "Lunch is ready." "Are you coming to lunch?" "You have to try my tuscan salad." "Lily feels at home here." "She's happy." "The least you could do is give us a chance." " Perhaps I should just wait in..." " Shh." " I might just wait till..." " Shh." " Shh." " Sorry." "Sorry... sorry." "What the fuck?" "Shh." "I'm not meant to speak." "Would you like some tuscan salad?" "Six months ago, Lily informed me that she was dropping out of law school, leaving her fiance, and moving into this..." "Arrangement." "I thought it was just a phase." "I thought she'd be back after a week or two." "She's always wanted to go to law school." "Haven't you?" "Say something." "You brainwashed her." "Ah... if she says something, you'll argue." "We don't do that here." "Why don't we start with a hug?" "Please, Lily." "That's right." "Now... now..." "Now try and feel it." "Feel it." "There." " What?" " The conflict is resolved." "No, it's not." "I meant the incident just now." "It's not resolved." "Don't be ridiculous." "You can't just hoggle, kiss or bump bosoms and pretend everything's all better because it's not." "Ooh, it's kicking off out there." "What are we gonna do?" "Leave it to them." "Lily doesn't want her here." " Yeah, but..." " Remember when one of Anita's sisters visited." "No one had sex for a whole weekend." "Ralph, it's her mom." "This must be difficult." "With the greatest respect," "I'm not quite sure what point there is discussing this with you." "I need to talk to Lily." "Then why did you storm off?" "There is a point to our methods, you know." " When we resolve..." " You have sex." "Yes, well that's not going to work with me and Lily, is it?" "No." "Do you even use protection?" "Not all of our conflicts are resolved physically." "We do have other methods." "But you're not ready for that." "I just don't feel you're giving this place a chance." "I think you should spend the day here." "Spend the night, if you like." " Are you joking?" " No no, I think it'll help." "I can help." "Bringing people together is what we're all about." "That's what worries me." "If you don't, I can't make her talk to you." "She shouldn't have ignored you for six months." "And she shouldn't have lied to me." "So let's get to the bottom of this." "Shall we?" "Everybody." "I want us to give Judith here a proper welcome." "Malcolm." "Why don't you start?" "Lily." "I need some air..." "I can't..." "How was the run?" "Where's Anita?" "I don't know why you wear all that make up." " You look so much better without it." " Mom..." "She's fetching me some wellies." "We're not supposed to talk." "Not until we get to..." "S.I.D." "Apparently, we're not ready yet." "I hope you realize I'm doing this for you." "Just..." "Don't get on anyone's nerves." "Trust me." "Are you feeling better?" "Oh yes, thank you." "Anita's got me foraging for supper." "Never even heard of putting beet root in a lasagna." "Well, I'm having a craving for it." " May I?" " Or course." "Hmm." "I used to do this." "It's where it all starts." "Thinking about them." "Him... her..." "I don't think Lily will ever know how many hours of my life" "I've spent thinking about her." "I wasn't actually thinking about my baby." "What were you thinking about?" "You." "Are you really..." "Planning on raising a child here?" "Is that a problem?" "No, I just..." "I don't see how children could fit into this set up." "Well, everyone here's a big kid." "It's the parents that stay away." "You have to let me know how you get on." "Hey." "You interrupted my head-stand." "You're trying to provoke me." "I was not." "I do this three times a day." "This is my favorite spot." "There is a bench right there if you wanna watch." "You don't have to perv in the green house." "I wasn't per..." "I was digging up..." "Three times day?" "Haven't you got anything else to do?" "Have you ever tried being naked outdoors?" "You don't feel the cold after a bit, you know?" "Oh, come on." "We've all got wobbly bits." "What?" "Hey." "This is a dispute." "We need to resolve." "This?" "I'm not disputing it." "I just don't think it's appropriate." "Exactly." "Don't be ridiculous." "I'm not talking sex." "How about a nice massage?" "Don't knock it till you've tried it." "I've had plenty of massages." " Thank you very much." " Huh-uh." "Not like this one." "You need to let my hands do the talking." "Hate men like him." "They're always so confident and charming." "Hello, Judith." "Then they stroll over to the fridge and make themselves a cheese sandwich." "Charlie hopper." "That was it." "Lily's ex." "Awful boy." "I don't know what it is." "They just rub me up the wrong way." "How do you deal with them?" "Get them to rub me up the right way." "You should've seen her." "Such an idiot." "What?" "She asked for it." "We're supposed to making her like us." " What's Lily gonna say?" " She'll thank me." "That woman is not gonna last the night." "I think you should try it." "What?" "Resolving with Ralph." " That is how we do it here." " You must be nuts." "Well, you're under my roof." "I'm here for my daughter, but you won't bloody let me talk to her." "Sorry." "Lily." "Ralph." "Me." "That's three in one day." "You can't leave them all unresolved." "I will not resolve with Ralph." "I won't be left alone with that boy." "There's only one thing for it then." " Lily..." " I'm not talking to you." "Please, darling." "I don't know why you're angry with me." "I... i thought you'd be pleased I was trying." "Lily." "I hear you moaned like an elk." "You didn't sound like an elk." "What then, a moose?" "A lioness yawning." "Lily had a book which said my spirit animal was a hamster." "No, definitely a lioness." "What am I?" "You're a palomino unicorn." "Aww." " I'll say good night then." " Yes." "Come on, they'll all be waiting." " I don't have a..." " Choose one." "Fancy a nightcap?" "What I'm saying is, one minute it's a handshake, the next it's a hand job." " Gross." " Shut up, unicorn." "What is..." "What is unicorn?" "Be nice, Ralph." "Ooh." "Listen to the lawyer, guys." "What is unicorn?" "I don't drink as a rule." "Drinking alone." "It's a slippery slope." "Well, you're not alone now." "How long has it been just you and Lily?" "Oh, years." "I forget." "Lily was three when he died." "Nothing exciting." "Just a heart attack." "I'm sorry." "I felt so bad for Lily." "But I don't think I was ever quite as upset as I should have been." "I don't think there are any rules." "Why didn't you tell us you dropped out of law school?" "I needed a clean break." "I was fucked." "I was engaged to this guy that I never really liked." "I was in this job that..." "Was terrifying." "I was only seeing where my life was headed." "Where?" "You've all met her." "Ah-hah." "Magical horse with horn." "If you want to join them, it's fine." "Don't be silly." "It's nice having a visitor." "I thought you'd be off getting yourself rubbed up the right way, whenever you got the chance." "Well, to be honest." "It can be a bit much." "All that youthful vigor." "I can do with a night off." "But I thought that was the whole point of this place, the..." "Sex." "Ultimately, all resolution is internal." "You see, that's what I don't understand about this place." "You can't force people to resolve." "I mean, what if they've got a cold." "Or indigestion." "Or you've got to go to work." "Or to sleep." "I told you we have a solution," "I'll show you tomorrow." "Oh." "I'd like family members to feel welcome here." "Oh, come on." "This is a young person's paradise." "I don't want to go around bonking everything that moves." "Forget about the sex." "That's just a means to an end." "We're trying to find a better way to live." "You can't expect someone like me to buy into all this." "I won't be a minute." "Hey, you take your time." "It's a commune." "You won't scare me off." "I'm allowed to talk to Lily today." "You do what you want." "I know that's what she's planning to do." "Anita." "Happy Birthday." "Oh." "Thank you." "Why aren't you gonna open it?" "I don't accept bribes." "It's not a bribe." "You told me a completely different story of who you were, where you came from." "So..." "I'm a bonobo now." "Look, I'm not on some gap year, okay?" "I have big plans for this place." "I want to increase the membership." "I wanna get the organic farming going." "Maybe even host a lecture series." "That's why I need her out of the way." "Ugh." "You try having your mom here." "Ugh." "You're doing very well." "I'm impressed." "It won't work." "You won't convince her." "She looks like a push over, but then she'll do her sad face." "And you'll feel so guilty, you'll start applying to law school." "Well, she can do her worst after breakfast." "I can't wait." "Lily." "I'd rather be in your shoes than hers." "Meet s.I.D." "Synergetic interlocution device." "The only one of it's kind in the world." "Syna... what?" "Synergetic interlocution." " In English?" " Well..." "Greek, originally." "But I felt the Latin equivalent of dialogue had more connotations..." "What does it do?" "The idea is to allow discussion without descending into argument." "Um..." "Perhaps it's easiest if we just start." "Take a seat." "What's that?" "A heart monitor." "Please, Lily." "There we go." " What's this?" " It's a wild track, literally." "A tribe of bonobos in Congo." " And they're..." " Fucking." "Lily." "It's intended to relax you." "Right." "Let's focus on the dispute." "Lily." "Would you like to say something to Judith?" "Yes." " I feel..." " Ah, ah, ah." " What?" " She can't talk to you yet." "That light behind Lily is linked to her heart monitor." "And your light is linked to yours." "Now, your light is red because your heart is higher than it's resting rate." "Lily can't talk to you until you go green." " Why not?" " Because only then will you be in an appropriate condition to listen." "That's it?" "Well, that's the problem with arguments." "They've done studies..." "It's when you stop listening that you stop communicating." "Sid makes you listen." "What if I pretend her light's red just to annoy her?" "Why would you want to do that?" "You're both green." "Talk to her." "Do you understand what you're doing by staying here?" "What you're throwing away?" " Do you?" " Ah, ah." "Oh." "Take some deep breaths." "I'm not throwing anything away." " Why do you always..." " What?" "Spit it out." "Oh, for God's sake, how am I supposed to stay calm if she annoys me?" "If you want to call it "throwing away,"" "then fine, I was throwing it away because I didn't want it," "I was miserable." "You weren't miserable." "Judith." "Why is she allowed to say these things to me?" "Sid doesn't restrict your speech." "Sometimes it's good to vent." "Maybe my heart can't take it." "Come on." "Deep, deep breaths." "She's breathing hard on purpose." " I'm not." " You are." "To keep your heart rate up so you don't have to listen to me." "I'm not." "Look, I'm green." "You're the one who's red." "I know it's hard for you, being on your own." "And you've always done everything for me." "But I don't want it anymore." "I want to make my own decisions." "I've always let you do what you want." "I've always supported you." "I have to work out what it is that I want." "So do you." "Do you really believe this?" " Sid, sex, monkey business." " Mother." "Anita's not here, we can say what we like." "Anita knows what she's doing." "If she doesn't want us to talk, let's not." "I trust her." "Anita's got a sense of humor." "What does it say?" "I mean... she's like having a pair of saggy tits." "What the hell is wrong with you?" "Well, is that a "no"?" "Why would you think that would be funny?" "Stop acting like a pregnant woman." "But I am." "I am, essentially, pregnant." "It is common for the man to go through all the typical experiences like, you know, morning sickness," "I've got tender breasts, I've got weight..." "What makes you even think you're the daddy?" " What?" " Well," "I've been feeling pretty nauseous lately," " I know I'm not..." " Stop it." "Well, how do you know?" "Because we stopped using condoms." "Uh, condoms break." "I am not fighting for this." "Imagine looking into your baby's eyes." "And seeing me smiling back at you..." "Laughing." "Hey, hey, come back here." "We need to resolve." "I don't know, I don't know whether it's hormones, or what it is, but I really hope tonight's not too wild." "Ralph's making Johnny move." "I'm actually really jealous of Lily and Judith." "Why?" "Because when was the last time you had a proper conversation around here?" "I've been naked outdoors." "Seriously, don't." "We used to do it every year in glenskirlie." " Glen's what?" " Glenskirlie." "Your aunt and I used to go skinny dipping in the freezing cold." "Take that, naked yoga." "You are not to inform yogi bareback." "Yogi bareback." "Is that Ralph?" "Do you even know what barebacking means?" "To ride a horse without a saddle, used to do that in glenskirlie too." "Yeah, there's another kind of "barebacking."" "It's a good nickname." "And Toby was the palomino unicorn." "Peter was the little princess." "What is Anita?" "She's just Anita." "How about me?" "You're my darling Lily." "I'd rather be the bi-sexual ninja." "Bi-sexual?" "Is that what you are?" "No, it's just a label." "I'm your darling Lily." "Oh... uh, sorry." "That's all right." "Is everyone waiting?" "Apparently Malcolm and Ralph have something to resolve, upstairs." "For God's sake." " Sorry." " It's not your fault." "Him and Ralph playing 'fuck, fuck, goose."" "You're not missing out." " Is this the one?" " Yeah, it's going to look beautiful." "Oh, look at you." "I know what unicorn is now." "Ein horn." "One horn." "Ein horn, one horn." "Ladies and gentlemen, we have resolved." "Could I have my boyfriend back now, please?" "Hey, you can have him anyway you like." "He's very flexible." "We love to fill ourselves at parties." "Right." "Now we're all here." "Oh, I actually would like to say a few words." "Anita, we all owe you a lot." "No one has sacrificed as much as you to be here." "To make this into a home." "Now, I know you want us to make this into a home too." "To build our lives here, make changes." "But we have to do that in the spirit in which you founded this place." "Bonobos put us to shame." "It's not just the sex, it's, uh..." "They're a... a tribe." "They have fun together." " Oh, no." " Ralph." " What is it?" " It's, uh... you won't hear about these babies on garden's quest." "What exactly is it?" "Iboga." "Some scientist believe it is the psychoactive effect of the iboga plant that give bonobos their extreme sexual proclivity." "It's bullshit, of course." "But you can see where they get the idea." "Try it." " It's a drug." " It's a medicinal plant." "Like pot?" " Like coffee." " I don't drink coffee." "Oh, well, that settles it, then." "No coffee, no alcohol." "You have to try iboga." "Only the tiniest dose." "I'm warning you, I can get high on a travel sweet." "Whoo-hoo!" "* on my own *" " Oh!" "* I'm dancing on the edge of the world *" "* I don't know *" "* I am blind to the part of my mind * * that asks me where I am going * * and it's not that I don't know the answer *" "* I just don't know what to say * * not that I know how to answer * * in any other way *" "Yeah." "Hello, darling." "* on this island the silence is all mine * * there is no one to say otherwise * * if you tell me you love me *" "* I won't hear *" "* I am too busy losing myself in my mind *" "Oh!" "A three, a two, a one..." "Go!" "* I am lost in a place *" "* I expected to pass straight through * * but I'm not any closer to knowing * * what I mean to you *" "Winner!" "* and it's not that I don't know the answers *" "* I just don't know what to say * * not that I know how to answer * * in any other way *" "Oh, well done." "So much fun." "Oh, my God." "Oh." "* on this island, this silence is all mine * * there is no one to say otherwise * * if you tell me you love me I won't hear *" "* I am too busy losing myself in my mind * * in my mind * * in my mind * * in my mind * * on this island the silence is all mine * * there is no one to say otherwise *" "* if you tell me you love me I won't hear *" "* I am too busy losing myself in my mind *" "I'm actually eating for two." "Ha-ha." "Did you know, I heard that women like guys who make love?" "Oh, really?" "I heard that love is actually a common reaction to bad knees." "So is this a typical weekend away for you?" "Hmm?" "Yes." "I'm getting too old for it too." " Who said I'm too old?" " Oh, no, I didn't mean." "My weekends..." "Are a choice between being dribbled on by a farmer with repetitive strain injury at the local pub." "To listening to my neighbor lecturing her husband and daughter on Italian politics." "Those are my choices." "That's why I can't do it." "What?" "Let Lily stay." "Judith." "She needs some direction." "I want her to have a..." "A good job, and a nice husband, and live in a..." "A big house in a town where she can make friends who aren't her neighbors." "I want her to have more choices than I had." "I want her to Fe..." "Oh, God..." "I'm sorry." " It's okay." " No, no, no, it's..." "It's not." "Judith." "Oh, there you are." "I was looking for you." "What did I miss?" "Oh, well, apparently I insulted him." "He's very hurt." "He wants to take it upstairs." "What are you..." "What he's suggesting?" "I'm not resolving with him, Malcolm." "That's ridiculous." "Have you seen my mom?" "She's gone." "What do you mean, gone?" "Where?" "She took iboga, she's not a good driver at the best of times." "I gave her a bit of stem." "Completely non-potent." "She... she's going mental?" "It's all in her head." "So, what happened?" "You have to ask her." "Mom?" "Ralph wants to call a meeting." "Have you heard from her?" "She texted to say "I'm fine."" "Oh." "I literally don't get it." "She wouldn't just leave without telling me." "No." "It was my fault." "What did you say to her?" "I kissed her." "By mistake." "By mistake?" "I... i mean that, um..." "It wasn't planned." " You kissed my mother?" " Yes." "You can't just do that." "I didn't just do that." "My mother." "Lily." "Have you ever considered may have some feelings that don't revolve around you?" "Hello." "Celia." "Hello, Helen." "Well, do you know, we came around several times yesterday and the day before." "You haven't been here." "We thought you'd gone to boscastle." " Boscastle?" " To fetch Lily." "Couldn't think where else you'd be." "Uh, now's not really a very good time." "Where is she?" "Time is of the essence." "Helen's u-cast forms are due in four weeks." "Before you know it, she'll be at her interviews, with or without subfusc." "I'm sorry, Celia, I can't help." "She's with the bonobos." "What?" " How did know what?" " The Internet." "Bonobos?" "Not that monkey sex cult in..." "Oh, please don't tell me." "That's not where you've been." "Yes." "I saw online." "Lily sends her apologies in absentia." "In what?" "She'll be back after lunch." "Without or without Mrs. Goggings?" "Ralph." "I knew she was bad news." "What?" "It does not work without the sex." "I never said it..." "People like Judith have no use here, I'm sorry." " I liked her." " Yeah, of course you did." " Give it 20 years." " I'd rather be like her than you." " Oh, Eva." " Look, it's simple." "Either you're in, or you're out." " What are you doing, Ralph?" " What we should have done yesterday." "Come on." "Come on!" "Come on!" "Why didn't you tell me, Judith?" "In your position, it's important you have someone to confide in." "What exactly did you see online?" "Single parenting is a difficult business." "Alan and I were listening to a radio four program a few days ago about children from one-parent families, how they're much more likely to turn to crime." " But I..." " I thought of you and Lily." "I've always been here to help." " I don't think..." " I can't believe you spent the night in that place." "I read all about it." "How they smear fruit over each other, and..." "Did they make you participate?" "Oh, yes, Celia, I had a night of passion with a man named Roberto." "He said I had wonderful eyes." "Helen!" "I'm sending her home." "We need to discuss this "mano a mano."" "I really don't think..." "Hello, Celia, Helen." "But you're not..." "Has mommy been filling you in?" "They were looking for some tips about university applications, darling." "That's all." "Concentrate, Helen." "Don't do it." "I don't like your tone." "I don't like you." " Lock the doors." " What?" "You need to sit her down and make her see sense." "She's a flight risk." "Helen, closare El porto." "That's not a language." "This is a valuable lesson, Helen." "If you let your dedication falter for a second, you might end up like..." "End up like what?" "I warned you, Judith." ""Keep her on the rails," I said." "I did." "She hasn't..." "It's the little things." "One minute, it's a nose ring..." " Oh, God, not the nose ring." " I said at the time..." "You said she'd get a blood infection, not move into a sex commune." "It's all related." "Titter ye not." "Your mother and i..." "Don't speak for me." "There's been rather too much of that, lately." " But, I..." " You're right about one thing." "It is all related." "The harder you push them, the more they resent you." "Encourage Helen's passion for Italian anymore, and she'll end up clobbering you with that bottle of prosecco." "But at least that would be her decision." "We can leave if you like." "I love you." "Hey, my turn." "It was my idea." "Ralph, what are you doing?" " Hey, hey." " Ralph." "Leave it to the master." "What are you doing?" "Ralph, get off." "Hey!" "Oh, my God, the actual look on her face." "Shh." "Don't." "Poor woman." "Helen, she is a dark horse." "I hope I haven't given her ideas." "I was proud of you." "This doesn't mean I approve." " Oh, no." " I'm serious." "Look," "I don't even know how long I want to stay there." "It's not like I'm carrying Ralph's demon lovechild." "Oh, heaven preserve us." "I just know that I want to be there for now." "That's enough for me." "Well, I suppose it's enough for me, too." " Mother." " Go on, before I change my mind." "That's not why I came back." "I'm fine." "I'm not." "Anita..." "I don't know wh..." "What..." "We're leaving." "It's not the first time we've talked about it." "But..." "I can't stay here with him." "No, no, no." "We can make it work." "If Ralph..." "It's not just about Ralph." "What he was saying there..." "I know what he means." "It's what I thought when I came here, that sex was the answer." "But, you reach a point where you don't care anymore about resolving your differences with people like him." "It's not worth it." "Maybe if you were in our position, you'd understand." "What, if I had children?" "No." "If you were in love." "It's strange being a widow." "I was 36 when your father died." "Not old." "But it puts you in a weird position no one quite knows what to do with you." "I didn't." "I wasn't looking for a new man, that's for sure." "Was there ever anyone?" "There was one." "Susan Ross." "Katie Ross' mom?" "We used to take you to swimming lessons together and sit, watching and talking." "I'd look forward to that hour so much." "We'd sit closer every week." "Our arms would touch." "I never felt anything like it." "And then they moved." "To Yorkshire, I remember." "I was sad for about a week." "I suppose I became..." "Good at not thinking about it." "You've never been tempted by Celia." "What?" "I know she's niche, but..." "There was no one." "Till Anita." "You have to tell her." "You do." "What am I meant to say?" "What you just told me, all of it." "How can I?" "Oh, don't be ridiculous." "I am not taking dating advice from my daughter." "Mom, you have spent 20 years worrying about what's best for me." "It's your turn now." "Get up." "I'm asleep." "I've just been talking to Malcolm and Eva." "She doesn't blame you." "It was my fault, really." "You're my lynchpin." "Do you know what a lynchpin looks like?" "It's basically a cock ring." "Ralph, don't." "You have to move out." "They can't make me do that." "I want you to move out." "Ralph!" "Stop." "No, no!"
