[indistinct chatter]
You coming to the gig? You transferred?
[chatter and laughter]
-[Dusty] Nice. -[chuckles] Thanks.
-Cool shirt. -Thanks!
Name one DZ Death Rays song.
-Shut up, Spider. -Shut up.
Oh.
[Dusty exhales]
How'd you pull off after the cemetery?
Oh, yeah. Hangover anxiety and stuff, but all good, yeah. You?
Yeah, had a really great night.
You rehearsing today?
-Yeah. -The Cate Blanchetts, right?
No, we're Chronic Fatigue now. But, um, I don't know if it'll stick.
Hopefully we figure it out by Friday night.
Friday night?
Yeah, um, Dad's letting us throw a gig at mine.
We're raising money for the Global Women's Project.
Oh, that's so cool.
Yeah. Look, we got slap band tickets and everything.
Oh. [laughs]
Yeah, '90s.
-So '90s. So can I buy one off you? -Yeah.
Yeah, um, Ant and Spider are handling all that.
Ant and Spider?
Yeah. It'd be good to see you there, Amerie.
Hey! Over here! Amerie, this way!
-[Quinni] It's our new bestie. -Morning.
-Hello! -[Amerie] Hey.
[all giggling]
Huh. One of my favorite pornos starts the exact same way.
How is new guy so popular already? I want to bump chests with Dusty.
I need one of those slap bands.
Oh, sweetie, no one's going to sell you that landfill.
You're the reason they're in SLTs, remember? Come on.
[indistinct chatter]
Hey.
What's up?
The cops caught up with Ant the other night.
Let him off with a warning.
Shoulda run faster.
Hey, wait.
Mmm. Don't.
That's, um, where I scraped my arm, so…

Ant! Hey! Hey. Hey, um, can we chat?
You know how Dusty's got this thing Friday night?
No chance. You said Darren gave me a wristy.
They did, didn't they?
Well, yeah, but it's all the same if you close your eyes. [laughs]
You really stuffed things up for me, Ams. My cousin told my auntie,
and she told my grammy, who put it on Facebook.
Now my mum found out.
She's making me go to church three times more a week because of you.
Okay. I am really, really, really sorry,
but not selling me a slap band won't change any of that.
-But it might make me feel better. -That's not very Christian of you.
[sighs]
Look, you're going to have to talk to Spider, okay?
Oh, I'll talk to Spider. That's a great idea, Ant.
Yeah, I'll just go talk to Spider.
[lively music playing]
[man] In this demonstration, we learn how to respect people's boundaries.
[woman] Mmm.
[laughs] I don't want your noodles.
Sure you do. I want everyone to know how great my noodles are.
I didn't even ask for your noodles.
Well, maybe I'll put them in someone else's bowl.
Oh, my God, kill me now.
[laughs] Hot noodles!
This seems kind of unhygienic.
[man 1] I should share these with my friends!
[woman] See, other people like my noodles.
They're so long and salty.
-Go on. Eat them, Stanley. Eat them all. -[laughs]
[Stanley] Stop! I'm getting angry.
-Have you got a spare pen I can borrow? -Nope, sorry.
Yes.
-Thanks. -This is my favorite pen to draw with.
-Cool. -[woman on TV] I'm having fun!
[Stanley] Your actions are making me feel uncomfortable.
[indistinct conversations on TV]
[woman] I shoved my noodles in your bowl even though you didn't want them.
I created a giant mess.
[Sasha] It's always the woman.
That's just an inaccurate representation. The media is always doing this,
and I'm sick of it.
-This is disgusting. I don't understand. -[boys] No!
[boy] Yes!
[all groaning]
[all laughing]
[girl] Invading the bowl?
[indistinct chatter]
Okay, miss, I have no idea what that was trying to teach us.
Why was it the girl forcing them to eat her noodles?
Because it's misogynist propaganda.
Women aren't such dick-obsessed idiots.
Uh, all the ones I've met are.
Your Sims girlfriend doesn't count.
Was it supposed to be a joke?
Uh, no, it's about the dangers of sharing intimate--
Noodles.
[Jojo] Forget about the noodles.
I'm trying, but it's hard to unsee.
It's telling us to be ashamed of our bodies.
That's not… What I think it's asking us to consider
are the social consequences of sharing nudes with other--
That they'll see how hot I am?
-Yeah, Missy! -Yeah, Missy!
No. That there's risks like revenge porn, being excluded from friends,
ethical reasons.
People have been sharing naked pictures since the dawn of time.
For example, cave paintings, art.
Renaissance titties.
-[Sasha] Thank you, Ant. -True.
But nudes are like a human love language, Jo.
Okay. Yeah, fair enough.
Look, I get that this video isn't going to stop you,
but there are ways to be smarter about it.
Like, what if you don't put your face in it?
-[scoffs] -I have a very recognizable dick.
[Jojo] I'm gonna ignore that.
Like, take the photo, fine. But keep yourself incognito.
[Woodsy] The hell?
You could even have some fun with it.
Wear a disguise, a mask, or a costume,
find artistic ways to take photos that doesn't include your face,
so it can't be used against you later. [chuckles] You're welcome.
-[Woodsy clears throat] -[boy] Oh!
Um, moving on swiftly to the next section.
Sharing images without consent.
If you have any anonymous questions, pop them in the box.
Okay. Pop them in the box.
This class sucks.
Yeah. Thanks, Map Bitch.
Yeah, thanks, Map Bitch.
[girl] Map Bitch.
Hey, um, I need to show you something.
[gasps]
-[Darren] Shit. -[Quinni] Do we tell Amerie?
[Darren] No way.
[Jim] Must've used Liquid Nails.
Well, hit it harder, Jim!
[grunts]
But seriously, we were all dumber for watching that video.
Yeah, so not the issue, Jojo.
You told our students to take naked pictures of themselves.
-That's not what I said. I-- -That's what they heard.
They're probably out there right now taking selfies of their…
[tapping]
I've got a bunch of parents from the P&C committee
coming to see me in half an hour,
wanting to come up with an action plan to combat their sexually active teens,
and I've got sex maps and dildos up the wazoo.
Just stick to the curriculum.
-I want to come up with my own syllabus. -[sighs]
Most of these boys have no idea what consent or even the clitoris is.
-Pfft! -If we don't find a way of teaching them,
we're no better than the dumbasses who made that video.
Miss, you have to cancel SLTs.
We've already done most of the stuff we're not supposed to.
It's not gonna stop anyone. No offense.
None taken. Was actually just having a similar chat with Ms. Woods.
Oh, God, they're here. Jim, cover that up!
We're all in SLTs 'cause of me.
Why can't I take sole responsibility for everything?
Mrs. Vaughn and everybody else, didn't we say 10:00 a.m.?
We're right on time to express our disappointment, Stacy.
Yes, you are.
I bet Mrs. V would love to know how our new class is going.
What did Jesus think of genital warts, anyway?
Wow.
Please, Ms. Woods. Cancel SLTs. Please.
I will consider your argument, Amerie.
Let's go to my office. This way.
[excited chuckle]
Oh, yeah! Oh!
That's, uh… That's nice.
[Quinni] Nurse Carol?
Uh, she ran to the oval to give a kid an EpiPen.
It's probably Jacobs in Year 9.
How do you know?
Bubble Boy's kind of a legend around these parts.
Isn't that mean to call him that?
Well, no, because I'd never say it to his face.
It must suck to feel like the entire world is out to get you.
Even when you're just sitting there breathing. Just existing.
Yeah, I feel like that all the time. It's like the patriarchy's Paddle Pop
constantly being shoved down my throat.
I love Paddle Pops.
-Me too. Okay. Favorite flavor. -Okay.
Three, two, one.
-Banana! No! -Rainbow!
[both laughing]
You know, it ruined my life when I found out that rainbow flavor
is actually just caramel.
-Caramel? You're kidding me. -Yes. I'm not.
-Caramel? I didn't know. -Yeah.
[chuckles]
Cool.
What are you in sick bay for?
I come for the biscuits.
Fuck off. Nurse Carol has biscuits?
Sometimes. She restocks them on Mondays.
By Wednesday they're usually gone.
If you want some, get in on Monday or Tuesday.
[chuckling] I will.
Okay. Cool.
Did you finish that drawing from before?
Um… Yeah.
Can I have a look?
["Lay Me Down" playing]
Okay.
[Sasha] Oh. What is this?
It's my favorite book, Angeline of the Underworld.
She's a demon who drinks the blood of sleazy men.
But while she's doing that, she's running a feminist empire business,
and she's also dating a human on the side and…
No, this is amazing.
Thanks.
If you're well enough to talk, you can get back to class.
I will see you later.
Okay.
See you in SLTs.
Oh. Um, you forgot your…
[beeping]
[Amerie quietly] Fuck you, Spider. I want a slap band.
-I still have to give her pen back. -So give her the pen back.
Oh. She totally wants to give her more than a pen, don't you?
-You like Sasha? -[shushing]
She's had a wide-on for her since the cemetery party. So go talk to her.
And say what?
Say, "Hey, I think you're hot. Wanna scissor?"
-I can't say that! Because-- -Why not?
Just be chill! "Here's your pen. Wanna hang?"
No, I can't say that either.
-You really, really can. -Go.
-Go, go, go. I believe in you. -Now?
-Like now now? -[Amerie] Now now.
[breathing heavily]
[Quinni whispers] I told you I couldn't do it.
What if she doesn't like me or I'm not her type?
What if she thinks I'm weird?
What if she's still into Missy?
[sighs]
[Amerie] Spider will never sell me one.
He's cockblocking me from getting to Dusty.
Oi, ball!
[Quinni] Yeah, he's an asshole.
[Missy] Look at this.
How do you make someone like you?
[Sasha] You kill me.
I hate this game.
I have an idea. Run with me.
-I'm not running anywhere. -Quinni, say something funny.
-Uh… -[laughing]
Come on.
Why are we laughing?
Not working. Kiss me.
-What? -[Darren] Maybe not.
To make her jealous.
[Quinni] Why do that?
I don't want to!
Stop this performative lesbianism!
[Amerie] Act like you want it!
-[Quinni] Hi! -Hi.
I like you.
You're smart and you're funny and you're really pretty.
You're really, really beautiful. Um, and…
You like the sound of your own voice too much.
I don't like how your Twitter bio says "Empath."
Cool. No. Okay, noted.
[sighs] Okay.
Um…
Would you wanna hang out this weekend?
[laughs]
-I'd like that. [laughs] A lot, yeah. -Yeah? Okay.
-Let's hang out. -Cool.
Okay, good. Enjoy the game. Have fun.
-I will. -Good. Okay.
Hi, sorry, me again. Um… [chuckles]
When you say hang out, do you mean "hang out,"
or do you mean, like, um…
Do you mean, like, go on a…
-Do you mean go on a date? -Like a date.
[chuckles] Cool! Okay, good. I'm glad we cleared that up.
-That's good. -Me too.
Bye. Goodbye.
[Sasha chuckles] Okay, goodbye.
Um…
-Are you back again? -I'm back again. It's me.
Um, this is… yours.
Um, this is yours. It says Sasha on it.
I took it from you… You gave it to me and I forgot to give it back.
-But I know-- -Thank you.
Good. There's your pen. We're going on a date. Okay.
-[laughs] See you around! -Oh my…
Harps! [chuckles]
[Quinni squealing]
-I going on a date! Going on a date! -[Darren giggles]
[indistinct chatter]
[man] He can't stay. It's too small and it's not set up for him.
Them. Them, them, them. It's not set up for them.
-[man sighs] -And it never has been.
-Wow, straight to the nuts? -Uh-huh.
I think they'd be better off if they were here.
You mean, you would be.
They hardly even talk to me. They're just using me for my house.
They are using you for your house.
And they're bloody mean. Apparently my beard looks like a dead possum.
Well, one time he called me a Black Karen.
-They? -Shit.
Eh. [chuckles] Come on. This is hard. Yeah?
Uh, yeah. [laughs] Exhausting.
And now…
It's your turn.
-[splutters] -Bye-bye.
Bye-bye.
[pop song playing on speakers]
[Darren] Can you believe my dad actually wrote this?
"Grease. Long hair."
"The throbbing motorcycle and the open road beyond."
"Her flannel shirt whips him like an animal."
[makes whipping sound] "Clinging on for dear life."
How does a flannel shirt whip someone like an animal?
-[Amerie] It's poetry, boo. -Oh.
Hey. Are you sure about this?
Yeah. No, I want to do it.
[Amerie] Hmm.
Open.
[chuckling] What?
How you feeling?
-No. No, get them off. Get them off. -Okay.
[Quinni] Okay.
[Amerie clear throat]
How many girlfriends has Sasha had?
[scoffs] God, like, fifty? And you're worried about your flaps.
-[clears throat] -Oh.
None of them meant anything.
Do you think I'll mean something?
Oh, please. You mean everything.
Listen to this. [clears throat]
"He imagined the…" [clears throat]
[deep voice] "He imagined the blokes on the field like the crest of a wave
grunting and sweating as they came towards him."
-Oh. -[Darren mocks orgasm]
"Crashing over him. Wrestling the ball from his grasp."
[in normal voice] Okay, this is softcore. I could actually get into…
-Did I say you could read that? -What? Your great Australian novel?
You buggered up the page order.
Do I do this to your stuff, huh?
Do you see me grabbing your stuff?
No, because that's my douche.
[thuds]
Jesus, Darren.
[scoffs]
That was a bit harsh.
Well, okay…
[song continues]
Oi, Ant!
What are you doing here?
Going home.
Don't you live in Daceyville?
Yeah, but I'm staying with an aunt.
Oh, cool.
Gummy?
Is it THC? Or…
[chuckles] Either that or prenatal vitamins.
Why'd you shave your head?
I dunno.
'Cause I wanted to.
Why are you sitting out here?
Hiding. Mum's still angry about the whole map shit.
I got one wristy.
Yeah, but it was worth it, right?
[chuckles]
-Yeah. -[laughs]
Is that why you and Amerie aren't friends anymore?
[scoffs]
It was pretty dumb what she did. Don't blame you.
-[dance music playing] -[crowd cheering]
Yeah.
How long do bruises last?
Uh, one to two weeks. Sometimes longer if they're bad. Why?
Just wondering.
Hmm? Hmm.
Well, can you wonder and help your sister at the same time? Mmm.
When's Harper getting here?
She's not.
But she always comes to taco night.
Yeah, well, not anymore.
-Is it 'cause she punched you in the head? -Just drop it. Okay?
Is she prettier than you?
[Naseem snickers]
-Is she a better fighter than you? -Shut up.

Oh! You're all going to be thanking me now, aren't ya?
Yeah, yeah. Thanks, Map Bitch.

We're not cancelling the class.
But you said--
No, Amerie, Ms. Obah and I have discussed it
and we agree that you brought up some very good points the other day.
So, well done. Tick to you, Amerie.
But the sexual literacy tutorials are extensive
and there's a lot to get through.
So given you want to take on more responsibility…
I never said that.
…which we love by the way, yet another tick to you, Amerie,
we've landed on something
that will help you engage more fully with the class.
Have a seat.
How long do I have to be your assistant?
Uh, just till the end of term.
So ridiculous.
Oi, remember Woodsy's driving this train, not me.
I'm dead. They hate me. You've heard what they call me.
Oh, yeah, Map Bitch. [laughs] Yeah, I can top that.
Go on.
Okay, so in Year 9, my best friend and I tried to break into the canteen.
And, um… We managed to get the roller door up a few inches,
so she crawled through but I got stuck. Half in, half out.
Oh?
The lovely Christie Chaka found me and stuck a Le Snak between my butt cheeks.
And from then on, I was known as "Le Crack."
[both laughing]
Wait, why didn't your friend help you when you got stuck?
She saved herself.
I know that feeling.
You didn't do the map on your own, did you?
Not that it matters now.
Why'd you break into the canteen?
Oh, 'cause we had the… [spluttering] We were hungry.
You were high.
Oh, my God! You totally were! You love the buds, don't you, miss?
-Okay. Where is everyone? -[chuckles]
[in sing-song voice] I may have told them it was cancelled.
Oh.
Well, we'll just have to make up for it after school then, won't we?
[sighs] Oh, God.
So, last session, we covered the social consequences of sexting.
Today's exercise will demonstrate just how quickly your images can spread
to places you really don't want them to.
[girl] Nice one, Map Bitch.
You said SLTs was cancelled. I have to be at work soon.
I love you. Remember you're loved.
[Jojo] Okay, so, today's exercise is called the blue string game.
Would you like to walk us through it, Ms. Woods?
Don't think about coming tonight.
[Woodsy] So the toilet roll is a sext
and the blue string is the World Wide Web.
This is about the dangers of sexting and how quickly information can be spread.
So I want you to move those toilet rolls around the string
and Malakai and Amerie to try and get them.
That's it. Get it.
That's it. Get that sext flying along the string.
Come on.
Here we go. That's it.
[indistinct chatter]
Hey, um, I'm really sorry. I swear she was going to cancel it.
As if those dickheads had anywhere better to be.
See you tonight?

If you've got a job, you can pay board.
I need that money to live.
Sorry, mate. That's the deal.
How much do you pay Mum in child support?
-What? -How much?
I'm not telling you that, Darren.
That's what I thought.
Are you disappointed I didn't turn out to be some uber-masc,
rugby-loving car nut like the wankers in your novel?
Where's this coming from?
You want me to pay board so I can go home to Mum
and continue to not be your problem anymore.
No, that's not what this is. Darren. Hey! That's not what this is!

Hey. Wasn't sure you'd be into this kind of thing.
Oh, no, I love it when straight boys pretend to care about women's rights.
Oh, right, I see you prefer guys who don't give a shit about anything.
"Hey, I'm Harper, and I, uh, hate anyone who tries to make an effort."
"Hey, I'm Dusty, and I'm a giant wanker who's only doing this for social clout."
See ya. And thanks for having me.
[Dusty] Anytime.
Um, hey, thanks for tonight. Um, I'm gonna go.
Okay.
Darren!
[hair dryer whirring]
You're good.
-[Darren sighs] -[Amerie] Let's scam.
[Darren] Dusty's parents have cash flow.
This stuff is so exxy.
Think it'd be weird to make out with Dusty, smelling like his mum?
[Quinni] Darren!
-[crying] -What's wrong?
Quinni?
I was trying to listen.
Like, at the date, I was trying so hard,
but it was the lights, the people, the sound--
It's okay. Deep breaths.
[breathing heavily]
Every time I tried to talk or listen or focus,
Sasha would look at me like I was weird.
And I like her so much. I really wanted this to work.
Like, so badly. And I… I just can't ever do any of this.
-I can't… -[Darren] It's okay. Oh, oh, oh.
No touching the Quinni. Uh…
You look great.
Why don't you go trap some dick. You know where to find us.
Okay.
Look at me.
[both breathing deeply]
Okay. We live in this bathroom now.
Okay.
["HGS" playing]
[door opens and closes]
-Hey, hey. -Hey.
You guys on soon?
Uh, yeah, in a bit.
This is embarrassing, right?
It's embarrassing that we think we can do this?
Yeah, it's, like, super embarrassing.
Like, so embarrassing!
Yeah.
[whispers] Ah!
You should just cancel the whole gig.
Tell everyone to go home.
I can't do that.
-No, you can't. No. -No.
[both chuckle]
So, get out there and kill it. Okay?
Mm-hmm.
You are a champion, Dusty, and they're going to hear you roar.
Isn't… Isn't that a Katy Perry song?
No. No, um, it's, like, this poet I've been reading lately. Peter Rivers.
-Yeah? Cool. -Um… You'd…
You'd like him, actually.
-I'll check him out. -Yeah! You should check him out.
-Yeah. Cool. -Cool.
Hey!
I think you should have this.
Made me feel better when you gave it to me.
Thanks.
Yeah.

Hey.
I'm sorry about before. I shouldn't always assume that you're--
What?
Up to no good?
Yeah.
Yo, Ca$h. Cocktail, mate?
Yeah, cheers, Ian.

Anyway, we're Renaissance Titties,
and, um, I just want to give a shout out to someone special in the audience.
Um…
There she is.
Hey, Harper.
[comical drum roll]
This song is for Harper McLean.
It's called "My Life Is Nothing Without the Warm Embrace
of your Sweet Left Cheek."
[boy] Yeah, Harper!
[Dusty] A one, a two, a one, two, three, four.

Oi!
Harper! Harper, what the fuck?!
I didn't know he was gonna do that.
So you hooked up with him?
The boy I've been in love with for almost five years.
The boy I've literally never stopped talking about.
-Is that what all this was about? -No, it's not. It's really not.
[scoffs]
I didn't even want to hook up with him, okay?
It just… happened.
Oh. So it was so easy for you.
Nah, fuck this.
Are you done? Are you done fucking with my life?!
["The Ocean" playing]
[Quinni] Okay, I think I'm good to go now.
Stunning. [sighs]
[pop song playing on speakers]
[Darren] Where is Amerie?
It's okay. I've got this.
Hey. I thought you liked me.
I do like you.
Then why act like you didn't?
I didn't mean to. It just happens to me sometimes.
I freeze up and forget how to speak. It happens when I'm stressed out.
I stress you out?
No, you don't stress me out. You make me anxious and so excited, and--
You could try showing it instead of acting like I bore the shit out of you.
-You don't bore me. -Really? Really…
Because the entire night your face was like…
-Like you couldn't even look at me. -I'm autistic. Okay?
Right.
I'm autistic. I have autism, whatever you want to say.
No, but how did I not know this?
I'm pretty good at masking. Putting on a face. Pretending.
Most of the time.
Yeah, but you don't… Like, you're not…
Like, I've met autistic people.
Okay.
And you're really emotionally intelligent.
Yep.
And so, I just thought…
Okay, Sia.
No. Quinni.
I'm sorry. I clearly need to do more research.
But I think you're really cool. And you're different to anyone I've ever met
and that's why I like you.
["Be Sweet" playing]
You have a face that looks like it would be very nice to kiss,
but you have a very, very shit taste in restaurants.
[laughs]
Okay. Well, then why don't you try it?
Try what?
This.

[Malakai chuckles] Probably fucked your ankle running on it.
-[Amerie chuckles] -But this will help.
Here you go.
Thanks. [chuckles]
[Malakai] Yep.
What a mess.
No. No, tonight was cool.
No. Well, what? We saw a crap band.
-You went for a swim. -[both chuckle]
I… I found a nang.
[Amerie chuckles]
[Malakai sighs]
Did you know about Harper and Dusty?
Yeah, I… I think they hooked up at the graveyard party.
I'm such an idiot.
-[exhales sharply] -No, uh…
-Jesus. -You know, they probably won't last.
What's the deal with you and Harper, anyway?
You ever have someone who you love with everything you've got
just turn on you for no reason?
[Malakai] Hmm.
I dunno. You know, maybe she's going through something.
[scoffs] Or maybe she's just a bitch. Who knows?
[door opens]
It's not because I don't want you here.
[sighs]
I've been writing this thing for so long, and I have found no success,
no respect, no money and I'm not sure if it'll ever be worth it.
But I know what is worth it and I really want to make this work.
If you still want to live with your deadbeat dad.
Fifty bucks a week. And I'll chuck in a large fries every Thursday.
By the way,
I'm not a huge fan of how the son steals the surfboard in the end.
It's too predictable and it's not how real life works.
You read the whole thing?
I was taking a shit. I needed something to read.
[chuckles] It must've been a hell of a shit.
Yeah, I was pretty backed up. Don't read into it!
Goodnight.
