"And then Ken and I ran around the corner straight into the two cops who just dropped" "Oh, you eien't!" "Mm-hm." "And then we were, butt-naked, being arrested by the same two cops twice in the one night." "Twice!" "[laughter]" "Sorry, guys." "Can I start to clear those for you?" "Go ahead." "So Ken's telling them the reason we're naked and roaming the streets is because someone broke into our house, stole all our clothes, and we're chasing after him." "And the cop says, what did he look like?" "Who?" "[laughs]" "Come on, keep up." "The one who stole our clothes." "[laughter]" "So Ken says, fuck, mate." "I didn't see him." "I was too busy banging your sister." "[groans] [laughter]" "But I was woken up at 4:00 in the morning by the police asking if I want to bail my husband out, and can I bring some undies?" "[laughter]" "It was the best damn funeral I've ever been to." "Oh!" "If I got a call from the police telling me Steve was naked" "You'd be running down there!" "Yeah." "No, no, no, no." "No, I'd leave him there." "You would not." "I would!" "I have a feeling that Steve would be A-OK with that one, eh?" "[laughter]" "I'd pay for it." "Quit being such a classy guy." "[laughter]" "I'm off." "Got recording in the morning." "(HIGH-PITCHED VOICE) I've got a recording in the morning." "[groans]" " Oh, darling." "Shit, where are my keys?" "How is the old game show going, anyway?" "Great!" "[laughter]" "How you doing?" "Jeremy." "Good." "Morning, Bob." "Morning, Steven." "Well, fuck me." "Thirty minutes early." "I just wanted to make sure I'm not holding anyone up." "Yeah, well, if you gave a rat's ass every other day," "I wouldn't have an ulcer as big as Bigfoot's balls, now, would I?" "Now, that is gross, boss." "But I still love you." "See you in 30." "Uh, 29." "Ethan, how's my favorite intern today?" "29!" "27!" "A bit wasted, actually" "Hey, if that's a message to your boyfriend," "I'm going to be very jealous." "I'm sending a text to my mom." "Ah." "Well, what kind of message do you send to the boys, then?" "OK, sweetheart, you have my number." "I'd love to read your prose sometime." "[inaudible]" "You are beautiful, aren't you?" "Oops, sorry." "[panting]" "[moaning] [cell phone rings] [grunting]" "STEVE (ON TV):" "Welcome back to the show, where we have" "Mrs. Elspeth Zonti on [inaudible], getting ready to play for the $100,000 question." "So, uh, Elspeth, welcoem to the show." "What are you doing back" " Do you have a job?" "ELSPETH (ON TV):" "Yes, I decorate special [inaudible] and wedding cakes." "STEVE (ON TV):" "Oh, so you invent your own original designs?" "ELSPETH (ON TV):" "I do." "STEVE (ON TV):" "What kind of wedding cake would you bake me?" "ELSPETH (ON TV): [inaudible]" "STEVE (ON TV):" "Isn't she sweet, ladies and gentlemen?" "[applause]" "ELSPETH (ON TV):" "Are you thinking of getting married?" "[gasps]" "STEVE (ON TV):" "I'll put it this way, you never know what disasters the future may hold." "[laughter] So Elspeth, are you ready to play for the question that could land you $100,000?" "[applause] [cell phone rings]" "Now, how can you be talking to me and on TV at the same time?" "Right, the wonders of television." "Again?" "Can't we-- can't we just stay in?" "All right." "Yup." "OK." "Steve." "Nothing." "It's all right." "Bye." "[game show music playing] [screaming excitedly]" "STEVE (ON TV):" "We'll be right back!" "What's the specials tonight?" "(FRENCH ACCENT) Ah, tonight we have a filet [inaudible]." "It comes with [inaudible], stuffed with caviar, a sour cream sauce, and roasted capers." "Well, that sounds like it's for me." "Alex, what would you like?" "Isn't there something simple?" "Ah, well, there's the baby lamb [inaudible] sir." "It comes with the avanti blanc and the jus de poire." "What is that?" "It's a bit like a hot pot." "Right." "That'll do." "And-- and the usual oysters to start with, shall we?" " Oysters?" " Yeah." "Frisky." "You know, we could eat at home if we ate at home." "That makes no sense." "Have you noticed we don't have a home?" "What we have is a pleasure wonderland." "(SCOFFING) Pleasure wonderland?" "What are you talking about, Alex?" "We have a beautiful home." "It's an apartment, not a home." "We're building a beautiful house on the beach." "Yeah, I know we're building, Steve, but-- thanks." "Look, I know we're building." "But how does that make this different than how we're living now?" "Why?" "You want to nest?" "Yes." "Yeah, I want to nest." "Well, you know, I want a nest." "Don't you?" "Nesting sounds so old and boring, Alex." "I'm not talking about wearing matching track suits and watching "M A S H" all day." "I'm talking about having a home" "I like "M A S H."" "I'm talking about having a home, OK?" "Like a proper home, and actually living in it." "[scoffs]" "What?" "Nothing." "What?" "[rapping on window] [excited giggling]" "Don't panic." "Fuck it." "I have to keep the fans happy." "Shit." "Hey, girls!" "Aren't they sweet?" "Yeah." "[rapping] [scoffs] Too funny." "[sighs] Fuck off." "Don't be like that." "Can we please get the fuck out of here?" "What do you mean, go somewhere else?" "No, I mean" " I mean go home." "It's not our home, Alex." "It's an apartment." "Oh, come on." "You know what I mean, just get a movie, get some Thai." "Just you and me at our place?" "Look, what's the problem?" "I want more, Steve." "All right?" "I want to feel like that we're a family and that we're not just fucking around here." "We're building a house from the ground up on the beach." "Now, that seems" " Yeah, I want- -a little bit more than fucking around to me, don't you think, Alex?" "I want something real." "Well, this is not going to be made out of fucking LEGOs." "Not just about the house, Steve." "Well, what the-- what the fuck is it about?" "Huh?" "You tell me." "[burps]" "Waiter." "[snaps fingers] Would you like a drink?" "No." "Two glasses of wine, please." "Red." "One." "Can you get me a bottle?" "Hey, you want to watch something?" "No." "I'll leave it to you." "[woman moaning]" "Well, good morning." "Good morning." "Are we ready to get excited?" "If you're offering." "Whoo-hoo!" "We found the ideal site." "Where?" " Down by Ocean Grove." " Coffee time!" " Ocean Grove?" " Yeah, it's perfect." "What's wrong with that?" "Well, it's his money." "Uh, here we go." "Cafe latte for you." "Thank you." "And a flat white for you, sir." "Thank you, sir." "Now, there's-- there's something I really want." "Ah, the SM room." "All black, leather harness, porn, mirrors on the ceiling." "Oh yeah, that's-- that's funny." "No, I'm being serious." "OK, we're listening." "I want a nursery." " Um" " He means a [inaudible]." "No, no, no." "No, I mean a nursery." "Yeah?" " Yeah, easy." "Easy." "Everyone should have a nursery." "Um, yeah." "Uh, easy, easy." "Look, um, yeah, we could-- we could put one here, on the south side, overlooking the herb garden." "You get that-- that morning light" "Morning sun, yeah." "Yeah, yeah, yeah, beautiful." "With its own bathroom here here, and some sort of-- um-- can you put in a rec room, like there?" "Um, well, yeah." "I mean, you see the overhang." " Yeah." "If we knock that down" "Whoa, hey, guys." "We should think about this before we start knocking down walls." "Don't you think, Alex?" "[car alarm]" "Mm, oh, shit, actually." "I've got another meeting in about half an hour." "So I'd better, um, take off." "I will be free all day tomorrow, Steven, so, um, give me a buzz, all right?" " Thanks" "See you later." "Was I supposed to know?" "When were you going to tell me?" "OK." "[scoffs] How would you feel, right, about expanding this?" "[music playing]" "A baby?" "Yes, a baby." "Alex, are you out of your fucking mind?" "What, do you want to get me pregnant?" "Come on, Steve" "Do-- do you want me to get you pregnant?" "Alex, it doesn't fucking work" "I want a family." "I want to be a family." "You know, why shouldn't we bring up a child?" "It's not a question of should or shouldn't." "It's a question of can or can't." "And I-- we can't conceive." "So that leaves one other thing, and that's adoption." "Society is changing." "Well, laws aren't!" "Yeah, but Steve, we're-- we're two responsible people with great income" "I know it's fucked, Alex, but that still doesn't change the fact that they only give babies to husbands and wives." "And how do we prove anything about our relationship?" "I mean, it will be years before they change their laws-- years." "I'd give up anything, anything." "I'd give up my job if I had to." "I want to be a dad, you know?" "I'm ready." "This would change everything." "Hey, hey." "I know." "But you need to make an appointment to see a consultant, and of course, to bring your partners." "We are a couple." "Yes, but you need to bring your partners, of course." "The consultant won't see singles, and your partners will need to bring proof of the relationship, be it marriage or de facto." "We take wedding certificates, bank records, things like that." "Yeah, I don't think you understand" "We'll also need proof of entitlement, meaning wills, so in the event of your death, your wife will get the car, boat, house, et cetera." "Super annuation statement showing benefactor, life insurance policy showing benefactor." "So if you just want to read over the books, you know, it's got all the info there." "Uh, let me explain." "I'm-- all right" " I'm Alex Thomson, and this-- this is Steven Evans." "[gasps] Oh!" "I knew I'd seen you before!" "You're on TV." "Steven Evans, "Guess What."" "Yes, that's right." "So you and your partner-- is it your wife-- you want an adoption." "Well, we could find you a foster child straight away, but adoption's a long, long wait." "We can, of course, arrange an IVF consultation" "No, no, nothing like that." "No, I didn't think you would." "No. [chuckling]" "Look, I'll tell you what." "I can, um, squeeze you in first thing" "Friday morning with Dr. Zekey." "Have you heard of Dr. Zekey?" "I haven't" ""Zee-kee."" "He's very good." "This application, it-- it's quite confidential, isn't it?" "Oh, yes!" "I mean, the media's so" "Intrusive?" "Of course!" "Look, it's totally confidential." "No need to make an appointment just yet." "Hey, hey, hey-- how about-- why?" "Why can't we make an appointment just yet?" "Well, it's really more for my friend here, you see." "[phone ringing]" "Friend?" "Friend?" "Yeah, I'm his friend." "[non-english speech] [eing] [chattering]" "What's wrong?" "Nothing." "I just can't sleep." "Why don't you come back to bed?" "I told you." "I can't sleep." "What the fuck?" "What?" "There's someone taking photos of me, of the building." "What?" "Yeah, look, right there." "There's someone taking photos." "Alex, just stay here." "I'll go." "Hey!" "What are you doing, you fucking creep?" "Fuck you, I'm not doing anything wrong." "Why are you running away for, then?" "Huh?" " Fuck you!" "Fuck it." "[music playing]" "What?" "ALEX (INTO CAMERA):" "Well, here we are, building-- building a" "Oh, can you behave?" "Can you actually walk normal, please?" "[laughs]" "[chattering]" "ALEX (INTO CAMERA):" "Excuse me." "Excuse me, what-- what's your name?" "Uh, Brett." "ALEX (INTO CAMERA):" "Brett?" "All right." "I'm Alex." "How are you doing?" " Good." "ALEX (INTO CAMERA):" "How's it all going?" "Like, how far away do you think we are from-- from moving in?" "Eh, [inaudible] right now, almost for lock up, so" "ALEX (INTO CAMERA):" "Yep." "Your feet-- you've got very nice calves." "[laughing]" "ALEX (INTO CAMERA):" "Is it-- do you" "Are you serious?" "ALEX (INTO CAMERA):" "No, you do!" "Are you commenting on my calves?" "ALEX (INTO CAMERA):" "Yeah!" "Yeah, yeah, yeah." "You do." "I mean, I'm just" " I'm just saying, like you must-- do you work out outside this, or is this sort of the job that" "Uh, I play footy, so" "ALEX (INTO CAMERA):" "Oh, you play football?" "Yeah, yeah." "ALEX (INTO CAMERA):" "With lots of guys" "This our view." "Our view." "It's a good spot." "It's a great spot." "Wait, what do I say" "You head's in the way." "Listen, Ocean Grove will be a great spot." "You were right." "ALEX (INTO CAMERA):" "Come on, say something." "Come on, this is, uh-- this is your project." "Come on, tell us a little bit about it." "For developing these plans, we thank you for doing this, because we couldn't have" "Thank you guys for paying me so much" "ALEX (INTO CAMERA):" "Kiss-- kiss the camera." "I've grossly overcharged you-- I'm not kissing the camera." "ALEX (INTO CAMERA):" "Tell us how much you love this project by kissing the camera." "We want to see commitment!" "OK, all right!" "[chattering]" "Alex, you're going to have to design those bathrooms quickly." "One in white, and one pink for the baby." "Alex!" "You know how my designs are in demand." "Originality" "And imagination linked with practicability." "Yeah, yeah." "Yeah, this is nothing to do with design." "It's to do with legality and gender." "Yeah, well, our gender is our design, and we have a design problem." "Look, all we have to do is find some way to make our money more important to these people than our design." " What?" "Yeah." "You want to bribe the adoption agency?" "Well, I want to make it worth their while." "This isn't fucking television, Alex!" "You-- you can't offer them a price and expect to make a deal." "And have you even thought whether or not you'll love the baby?" "Of course I'll love the baby, Steve." " Will you?" " Yes." "You-- you expect just to look at a baby and say, I love you?" "Yes." "Because I don't think I could eo that, just look at a baby and go, I love you, you're my child." "You're being fucking ridiculous!" "No amount of money is going to change the fact that officially and legally, we're not a couple." "[game show in background]" "Listen, I told Ajay you're a solid worker and that he should move you up the ranks a little." "Really?" "Yeah, of course, really." "I told you I'd look after you." "It's not going to happen overnight." "It may take a little while to get moving." "But I'm onto it." "Now get the fuck out of here." "Go on." "Come on, slow poke." "Oh, shut up." "Mr. Competition." "Nice running style." "Shut up!" "[laughs] [text alert]" "What's that?" "Nothing." "Give us a look." "Nothing." "Give-- give it here." ""If you're interested in the family, but can't conceive," "Well, that sounds about right, doesn't it?" "Dreamland." "You know, babies manufactured to your choice, just pay us a billion dollars." "No, no, no, look, she wants to put up her baby for adoption." "She's flogging her baby on the internet, Alex." "Oh, just give it to me." "She wants to put up her baby for adoption privately." " Don't sugarcoat it." " I'm not sugarcoating anything!" "It's either that or it's a fucking scam." "Will you just try this with me?" "Alex, it won't work." "It won't work?" "No." "Oh, it won't work?" "All right, well then, prove it to me." "Prove to me this won't work, because I'm ready for this." "Fine." "Fine?" "But when this doesn't work, you agree to stop." "All right?" "This is it." "If-- if this doesn't work, then we're done." "We tried our best, but it's over." "Agreed?" " If?" " If." "If." "She's late." "It's only three minutes, she may have got the wrong place." "[high heels tapping]" "Do you think that was her?" "No, she doesn't have a dog with her, does she?" "No, she doesn't have a dog with her, but she doesn't have a baby with her either." "Look, I" " I don't think she's going to show, Alex." "Fuck it, let's go." " No!" "No, I'm staying." "All right." "You stay, I'm going." "Steve, just" "Excuse me?" "Yes?" "I'm looking for a little white dog." "A dog-dog?" "Yeah, a little white dog." "Are you Nancy, or--?" "Yeah." "Where's your partner?" "Uh, she couldn't make it, but I brought a friend instead." "This is" "Hi, I'm Chris." "Yeah." "What-- uh, wait, please!" " I've got to go." " Wait, wait." "Please, please, please!" "Where's-- where's your wife, or your girlfriend, or whatever?" "Look, let's just sit down and have a coffee." "Look, it's a bit-- it's a bit complicated, but I'll explain everything." "Please." "OK." "But I can't stay long." "I've got to get to [inaudible]." "I'll explain everything." "I've really got to go, because I've got to get to" "That's OK, that's OK." "Look, um" " Chris is" "I'm his partner." "Yeah." " [scoffs]" " Look-- no!" "Please, please, just sit down." "Please just listen." "One minute, one coffee." "OK?" "I've really got to get more [inaudible], they can't get me in before 4:00." "All right, all right." "Um, I'll get the coffees." "Cappuccino, latte, macchiato" "Hot chocolate?" "long black, short black?" "What will it be?" "A scone." "A scone?" "Two scones." "All right, two scones." "Thanks." "Please, sit." "Must be great to have a baby." "I haven't got it yet." "Oh, she's-- she's away, or-- something?" "No, you just can't see it, not yet." "Why?" "[scoffs] I'm pregnant." "Pregnant?" "Yeah." "[sniffs] [music playing]" "Pregnant." "I just" " I don't understand." "I mean" " What, why?" " Why?" "Why, why" "Yes." "Why I put the ad up?" "Yes." "Why I wanted to sell it?" "'Cause I've got no money and nowhere to fucking go, that's why." "So I could sell it to-- a nice couple, you know." "And you seemed pretty cool." "And I get here, and all I find is a-- a couple of fags." "Yeah, all right." "OK, look." "Nancy?" "Nancy, we can help you, OK?" "With-- with the birth, with the pregnancy." "All of it." "Other people have contacted me, straight people." "Yeah, I" " I understand that." "But we can help you." "It'll cost money, you know." "I'm not donating." "Of course." "I have to think about it." "I've got to go." "Chris will be back in a-- in a minute." "I'll contact you." "He'll" "I'll give you a call." "Nancy" "[airplane engine]" "Alex, you're stressing me out about this." "I can't talk now." "I'm at work." "Look, I'll give you a call on the way home." "OK." "All right, bye." "I love you, too." "Sounds like someone's got you on a short leash there." "Hey, Ajay." "It's not very often that we see" "Now, listen, Steven, I want to talk to you about some rumors that are flying around upstairs at the moment." "Has someone said they're having my love child" "No, no." "There's a lot of talk going around about you sucking cock." "Sucking cock?" "Normally, I don't listen to the shit that gets thrown around upstairs, but these rumors are filtering up from the bottom." "And when they come from below, you know, I tend to listen." "Nobody knows dirt like the plebs." "Well, who's saying it?" "Well, I don't want to be saying anything." "Now, I don't give a shit where you stick your cock in your spare time." "You want to go dirt track?" "That's your business." "But my business is this show, and our demographic is the nanas and the fat old housewives that tune in everyday to watch your pretty little mug smiling back at her so they can get all sopping wet in their seats." "Steven, no one is going to tune in to watch a fag give away prizes." "Even for SBS, this is prime time, mate." "Mate, I'm prime time." "Gooe!" "Good." "Then I'll go and tell the rumor mill to go and fuck itself." "Yeah, do that." "You know what?" "They're just jealous that I get more pussy than they do." "[inaudible] get pussy?" "You watch, they'll start calling me Elton John." "Hey, Elton!" "Fuck." "[sighs]" "Who the fuck would be talking?" "It's bound to happen, Steve." "You're on TV, people say shit." "But they'd be saying it even if you were straight." "Everyone has a G-A-Y scandal at times" "Yeah, but I am!" "That's the problem." "Hey!" "Hey, that's not a problem." "The studio doesn't want a fag as a host, Alex." "Oh, don't say that word!" "Oh, well, how is "unemployed" for a word?" "You like that?" "They're not going to fire you for sucking cock." "Oh, no, they won't fire me." "They'll just replace me, won't they?" "Yeah, well, then you shouldn't be working for them." "I like my job." "I like what I do, and I like who I am." "Really?" "Yeah." "Who are you?" "Steven Evans." "I took on this job knowing full well the studio doesn't want a faggot host" "Don't say that word!" "Oh, fuck the word!" "This is my career we're talking about here." "You do like sucking cock." "[music playing]" "[sighs]" "Oh, that's all right, I've got this one." "Here you are, Steven." "So how's your day been?" "Shit." "Ah." "Why's it been shit?" "Just a shit day, Charlie." "Well, if there's anything I can do to make it better, all you have to do is ask." "That I will, Charlie." "That I will." "Well, what are we celebrating here?" "Nancy." "Nancy?" "Nancy, Nancy, Nancy." "She contacted me." "She wants to meet us." "Great." "When?" "Don't know yet." "[airplane engine]" "Look, Nancy, we'll look after you." "OK?" "We'll get you everything you need." "And you're free to change of mind if you want." "No strings attached." "No strings attached?" "No strings attached." "Like I said, I've had other offers." "Yeah, I'm sure you have." "But we-- we'll match them, we'll double them." "Within reason, of course." "Your partner creeps me out." "He doesn't say much." "He's just the silent time, but he wants this just as much as me." "(SCOFFING) Yeah." "Don't you, Chris?" "Chris!" "Yes, of course." "And he means it." "He means it." "You know, we both do." "We just-- we just want to know that you're for real." "Look, I know you haven't known us that long, Nancy, but you can" "It's Nerine." "What?" "My name's Nerine, not Nancy." "I just didn't want to use my real name on the internet." "Look, Nerine, we can help you." "I don't want this baby." "[coughing]" "I just want cash, OK?" "Cash." "I just want to forget about the whole thing." "Look, Nerine, I want to give you something to show you that we're serious." "Yeah?" "Will you just her the cash?" "[airplane engine]" "Please." "This is just as a start." "OK?" "I need to go pee." "What?" "She's probably going to run, Alex." "Fucking hell!" "She's in the toilet!" "She's probably not even pregnant." "Have you thought about the father" " HIV/AIDS?" "Who the fuck knows what?" "I want this one." "You're living in a dream world." "Yeah?" "Well, I like it there." "All right." "You can have it." "[construction noises] [groans]" "There you go." "Holy shit!" "[chuckling]" "It's fucking big!" "How many bedrooms has it got?" "Four." "There's a special one for the baby, with its own bathroom." "What the fuck does a baby need its own bathroom for?" "So when they get older, they can have their own space." "It's a load more than I got as a kid." "We just wanted to make sure the baby had everything it could want." "Exactly." "Spoiled if you ask me." "Hey, you could help design the nursery." "Yeah, you know?" "You could choose the-- the colors, or the drapes, or one of those mobile things above the cot?" "No, you do it." "I'll do it." "Guys, come on!" "The beach is waiting." "Come on!" "[music playing]" "Alex, I thought you might want this." "And this." "And this." "Nerine" " Nerine, it's-- it's beautiful!" "I think it's ugly." "Looks like an alien." "But it's your baby!" "It's not my baby, Alex." "It's yours." "It's just in me." "[gasps] Are you sure you don't want these?" "I'm sure." "I don't want this." "MAN (ON TAPE):" "Where is a good restaurant?"

"I think I'd love to spend some time in front of the camera with you." "[laughing]" "Who knows, maybe you could find yourself a new career?" "[laughing] Ah, there are limits, my friend." "Charlie, there are limits." "Oh, I don't have any limits." "You're about to find that out." "Here we are." "Is this good enough?" "Oh, this looks very naughty!" "[seat belt unbuckling]" "Well?"
