Even more talented.

Come.

And your name...

We'd like to call you Sara.

OK. Thank you.

F***!

-You all right, darling?

-Yeah.

-Would you like a lavender tissue?

-Sure.

I'm sorry.

F***.

-Good afternoon.

-Good afternoon.

-How are you?

-Very well, thank you. And how are you?

Oh yes, fine. Thank you.

OK sit down at the table.

To what do I owe this

extraordinary pleasure?

Nothing special.

Just upgrading my skill set.

Nothing special?

White or white?

Can we watch some porn?

No.

What have you done

to your fingers?

Sara?

Hi, Sara.

I'm Sophie.

-You look lovely.

-Thanks.

OK. Now, I need you to go into the

dressing room for me and fix your make up.

You'll find a lipstick palette in there

and I want you to match...

...an exact match...

...match your lipstick to the

color of your labia.

You're kidding me.

It's not a game.

You're OK? Good.

Ready?

Let's go.

Thank you friends for coming

here tonight.

As ever, it is wonderful to see you.

Thank you.

This evening we're serving

Beluga caviar with toasted brioche.

Service.

Galantine of quail stuffed with

black truffle on the nest of fried leek and herbs.

Curious choice.

I first tried that dish

many years ago.

On the occasion of my 20th

wedding anniversary.

But tonight, I've asked my chef

to do what he can...

...to bring it back to life.

Perhaps you'll be able to tell me

whether it really does taste so good.

Or if it is the memories of Elizabeth

and that night that make it so special.

To the dish itself.

To the dish.

To memories.

-Brandy?

-Thank you.

Such fair skin.

Brandy?

Thank you.

Not to worry.

Upsy daisy.

No harm done.

Sorry.

Don't worry.

You did really well.

Leave those for the cleaners.

We won't be needing you

anymore tonight.

Thanks.

-You look lovely.

-Yeah, you too.

Your hair looks great.

Can I leave early tonight?

-Just this once.

-Thank you.

It gets a bit easier.

It's never easy, though.

How long have you been

doing it for?

What kind of a question

is that?

I'm sorry.

-Thanks.

-No problem.

May I?

Yeah, be my guest.

Some people fake their deaths.

I'm faking my life.

You're doing a good job.

I want to show you something.

I would really love to

suck your cock.

Hallelujah.

Hi, Lucy.

What time is it?

It's morning.

Can I get you anything?

Coffee?

Yeah, coffee.

Thanks.

Hey, Birdmann?

Will you marry me?

Yes.

Thank you.

-Not at all.

-It's very kind of you.

It's a pleasure.

Thanks.

I'm ready, I think.

I think I'm nearly ready.

We can get you back

into detox.

I could, I'm flush.

Thank you.

I don't think I'd make it

this time.

You could.

Do you believe that?

I don't know.

Sandhill Dunnart.

Nocturnal and endangered.
