Is it serious?

Um, ah, yeah, kinda, yeah.

Nice girl, I hope?

Oh, no, she's horrible,

she's a hag,

deals drugs, missing teeth,

no nose, she hasn't got

a nose, mum.

Yes, mum, she's, um,

I think she's lovely.

Well, it's getting late.

Okay.

Quick chat with your father.

William?

Hey, Nick, you doing alright?

Hey, dad.

Mm-hm. You?

Yeah.

Hey, listen, dad,

I'm really sorry

I didn't make it back this year.

Yeah, that's okay, Nick.

There's no need to come back

all this way just for one day.

Um, it's an early day

for me tomorrow.

It was nice speaking with you.

Very nice speaking with you too.

Emily.

Emily.

Ohh, oh, oh.

Whoa!

Yes, yes, yes, yes,

yes, yes, yes.

Hey.

What are you doing,

what's going on?

Getting it done.

- Sure looks it.

- Yeah.

Hello?

We're in here.

- Yeah.

- Yeah.

Coming.

Hi.

- Hey.

- How are you?

I'm okay, mm-hm,

how are you?

Hey, how are you, sweetie?

You've been painting,

oh, my gosh.

Don't you touch me, what's that?

Oh, you look lovely, but you

have a lot of paint on you.

- I know.

- What happened, what happened?

- I threw up paint.

- Why?

Ah, 'cause I ate too much.

Hello?

Yes.

Hi, mm-hm.

- Yeah.

- I'll be right back.

I haven't forgotten, come over.

Of course, come over,

come over now, come over now,

okay bye, bye, bye, buh buh bye.

Em, how ya feeling?

I feel great actually.

Right now, I feel so fine,

I feel actually...

What?

I feel fine.

I feel really good right now.

So I don't wanna do

that right now,

I don't wanna talk about

that right now.

I get that, but you

need to, uh, sit down,

and you need to take your meds.

I don't wanna sit down

right now, dad.

Look at what I'm in the process

of doing, and I have to go.

Em, you can't go out

the way you are.

Why not?

Well, because you have

paint all over your dress,

so why don't we get

yourself cleaned up first.

Ugh, I'm late,

I'm late, I'm late.

Sorry, I don't have time

for this right now.

Where's my purse?

It's okay, just...

We're all cool, hmm, right?

Emily, can we be honest?

I-I would love that.

You are so up right now!

Wake up, wake up, dad!

You're taking these, Emily.

You're taking these, and I'm

giving you this, alright?

Keep it easy for us.

I-I'm making

it easy.

You stay right here.

Get her some water, please.

Good evening.

Can I help you?

We received a call about some

loud music at this address.

Well, you don't hear any

loud music, do you?

No, probably the wrong

house, I would guess.

Thank you.

Is everything okay?

Yeah, everything's fine.

Who's that?

What? Who broke...?

Why did you call the cop?

- We didn't call the cop.

- You did. I can see him.
