Last time on Dog Park
you might remember this...

00:03.040 --> 00:06.360
So, Roland, you can't go to the park
without Beattie.

00:06.400 --> 00:08.760
Yeah, oh, yeah, no, I can.
I can't run with a dog.

00:08.800 --> 00:10.120
Mia, have you seen the dog?

00:10.160 --> 00:11.280
Yes.
Where?

00:11.320 --> 00:12.560
Oh, I dunno. I'll text Mum.

00:12.600 --> 00:14.880
No, no, no! Just, just...where is it?
Sam took her.

00:14.920 --> 00:16.920
(BARKS)

00:16.960 --> 00:18.120
Oh, no.

00:19.400 --> 00:21.560
Oh, my God, you're Roland.
I'm Samantha.

00:21.600 --> 00:23.200
Can we not do introductions?
I'm not staying.

00:23.240 --> 00:24.760
I don't do chat.

00:24.800 --> 00:28.080
You do chat, but you left and now...
I've got the dog,

00:28.120 --> 00:29.880
the dog I didn't want
in the first place, by the way,

00:29.920 --> 00:31.320
but anyway, I've got full custody.

00:31.360 --> 00:32.960
Hi, Roland.
Hello.

00:33.000 --> 00:35.000
You know, we're Emma
and Beattie's park family.

00:35.040 --> 00:36.560
And, uh, I guess now we're yours.

00:36.600 --> 00:37.960
Oh, no, thank you.

00:38.000 --> 00:39.000
Are you OK?

00:39.040 --> 00:40.280
I mean, I'll see you at the park.
Oh...

00:40.320 --> 00:41.960
Yes!
..probably not actually, but anyway.

Yes.

Maybe he's saving a spot

(SCOFFS) The glass is very much
half-full for you, isn't it?

03:04.040 --> 03:06.680
It is the better half
for blood pressure, heart health.

03:07.760 --> 03:08.760
The thing is, though, like,

03:08.800 --> 03:10.800
if the liquid is exactly
at the halfway point,

03:10.840 --> 03:12.280
the trajectory is down, isn't it?

03:12.320 --> 03:14.920
I mean, you don't fill a glass
from the halfway point,

03:14.960 --> 03:17.160
you either, you drink it
or you empty it out.

03:17.200 --> 03:20.640
So, it is, by definition, half empty.

03:20.680 --> 03:23.000
You must be such an inspiration
for your students.

03:24.440 --> 03:26.760

we know about you?

03:26.800 --> 03:28.160

03:28.200 --> 03:29.680
if that's any indication.

03:30.840 --> 03:32.760
Now you have to tell me what you do.

03:34.400 --> 03:36.160
That is my one gift.
Mm-hm.

03:36.200 --> 03:38.440
Um, something...

03:38.480 --> 03:40.160
..something you love,

03:40.200 --> 03:44.840
but that, uh,
nobody else even realises it's a job.

03:46.200 --> 03:49.240
Something that needs maths, numbers,

03:49.280 --> 03:52.120
but also creativity, so, drawing...

03:52.160 --> 03:54.120

That'll do.

03:54.160 --> 03:56.000

Oh, someone's had a bath!

Thanks for keeping up.

Well, yeah, no,
that's just kinda why I'm asking.

05:09.960 --> 05:11.360
Are you gonna be home tonight?

05:11.400 --> 05:14.120
I dunno, Dad.
OK, fine. Let's just see.

05:14.160 --> 05:15.840
..put him in a show,
but you can't even sit.

05:15.880 --> 05:17.680

in front of other people.

06:31.400 --> 06:35.600
Yeah, so, um, Mia just sent me
a photo of Beattie at the dog park.

Uh, yeah, because she's here
at the park. The dog, I mean.

06:40.080 --> 06:42.040
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Yeah, of course I did.

06:42.080 --> 06:45.640
Hey, so, why does Beattie's tag
say she's at home?

06:45.680 --> 06:47.880
Because I took the tag off.
Why?

06:47.920 --> 06:50.640
Because you're using it
to make sure I walk the dog.

06:50.680 --> 06:51.680
I'm not!

06:51.720 --> 06:54.520

Why are you making this so har...

where the dog is?

10:58.520 --> 11:00.560
Wh...wh...wh...wh...wh...
what's going on, Mia?

11:00.600 --> 11:02.080
What's...?
It's so good. I'm glad.

11:02.120 --> 11:03.800
I should have done this then.

11:03.840 --> 11:05.200
It's very early.

11:05.240 --> 11:08.120
No, Dad, it's exactly the right time
in my life.

11:08.160 --> 11:11.040
Plus, I quit my job
'cause I booked a Cambodian retreat.

11:11.080 --> 11:12.680
No, you're not going to Cambodia.

11:12.720 --> 11:14.600
You've already paid the deposit,
Dad.

11:14.640 --> 11:16.880
(SCOFFS) I can't wait to see
Connor's face when they hear.

11:16.920 --> 11:18.440
Yeah, that will be something.

11:22.520 --> 11:24.040
You can get rid of all this.

11:25.360 --> 11:26.360
What...?

11:28.920 --> 11:31.200
I gave you this for Christmas!

11:51.280 --> 11:52.720
Hey! Off the couch.

12:00.520 --> 12:02.840
(RADIO PRESENTER READS THE WEATHER)
MIA (IN BACKGROUND): Oh, my God,

12:02.880 --> 12:04.040
I wish you were here.

12:04.080 --> 12:05.320
Why?

12:05.360 --> 12:09.720
Um, it's a meditation
for opening and reawakening.

12:11.160 --> 12:12.760
300.

12:12.800 --> 12:13.840
Yeah, I know!

12:14.920 --> 12:17.680
He listens and then it's like
it never happened.

12:17.720 --> 12:19.280
Nothing. He just said...

12:19.320 --> 12:22.600
(MOCKING TONE)
"Um, you're not going to Cambodia."

12:27.280 --> 12:28.440
I wish you were here.

12:31.160 --> 12:32.280
I miss you too.

12:34.160 --> 12:35.320
I know.

12:38.160 --> 12:39.560
(QUIETLY) Come on!

12:41.840 --> 12:42.840
No, I'm OK.

12:43.920 --> 12:46.800

13:07.280 --> 13:08.280
Hm.

(BEATTIE WHINES)

13:16.720 --> 13:17.880

13:20.680 --> 13:22.120

13:25.440 --> 13:26.920
Hi! (CHUCKLES)

14:07.360 --> 14:08.360
This one?

14:12.920 --> 14:14.920
Come in! Don't worry about shoes.

14:14.960 --> 14:17.120
You're just helping me
with the party.

14:17.160 --> 14:18.160
Party?

14:18.200 --> 14:19.880
Can you see it?
MAN: (STRAINS) Yeah.

14:20.960 --> 14:23.000
I found this.
Oh, great!

14:23.040 --> 14:24.920
There he is. You've missed everyone.

14:24.960 --> 14:26.240
Hey, Roland.
Hi.

14:26.280 --> 14:27.280
Are you coming?

14:27.320 --> 14:30.360
It's for Marty's birthday.
Oh. Farty Marty's having a party.

14:30.400 --> 14:32.400
Yes. Don't be tardy.
(BOTH CHUCKLE)

14:32.440 --> 14:33.640
That's all you want?
No, no.

14:33.680 --> 14:36.480
Look, I think there must be another
one up there, Jonah. Do you mind?

14:36.520 --> 14:37.920
Nah. No dramas.
Great.

14:37.960 --> 14:41.840
It's a beautiful house, isn't it?
Yeah. Could do with a few less doors.

14:41.880 --> 14:44.800
Are you coming, Roland?
To Farty Marty's birthday party.

14:44.840 --> 14:46.160
Oh, God, no.

14:46.200 --> 14:49.000
I mean, nothing personal - I wouldn't
go to my own birthday party.

14:50.080 --> 14:51.080
Right, OK.

14:51.120 --> 14:52.880
Come on, it's his big one-two.

14:52.920 --> 14:55.760
12?! God, I thought he was 20.

14:57.200 --> 14:59.880
Sorry, I mean, maybe he just needs
a good night's sleep.

15:02.160 --> 15:05.680
That's the one!
Right, let's see what we've got.

15:06.920 --> 15:08.040
Oh, how's Mia doing?

15:09.120 --> 15:11.640
Uh, she's a little emotional
and unhinged.

15:11.680 --> 15:13.400
Um, I think I made it worse,
actually.

15:13.440 --> 15:15.040
She's booked a meditation retreat.

15:15.080 --> 15:18.480
Oh, that's a good idea.
In Cambodia. She paid a $300 deposit.

15:18.520 --> 15:19.520
Wow.
I'd do that.

15:19.560 --> 15:21.160
Exactly.
Huh...

15:21.200 --> 15:23.120
I mean,
what's the point of meditation?

15:23.160 --> 15:24.520
Doesn't it just make things worse?

15:24.560 --> 15:28.160
You know, when I was Mia's age,
I made a bomb out of hairspray cans.

15:28.200 --> 15:30.920
That's comforting.
Yeah, I don't know why I did that.

15:30.960 --> 15:33.400
Maybe you should talk to her.
Happy to.

15:33.440 --> 15:36.040
As long as you didn't say, "The
first heartbreak is the hardest."

15:36.080 --> 15:37.920
Yeah. Or, "Plenty more fish."

15:37.960 --> 15:40.120
Or, "Time heals all wounds."
Yeah.

15:40.160 --> 15:41.640
That's a classic one.

Alright, I'll see you guys tonight,
alright?

15:52.040 --> 15:53.520
Yeah.
Sorry, I can't stick around.

15:53.560 --> 15:56.120
No, no, don't worry. Roland
will help me, won't you, Roland?

15:56.160 --> 15:57.280

Oh, no. Um, no. I...I can't...
I'm off too.

or do you do for work?

I was in the diplomatic corps.

16:44.960 --> 16:47.600
And, um, Sam, what does she do?

16:47.640 --> 16:49.840
Uh, she's an engineer.

16:49.880 --> 16:50.920
Mm.

16:50.960 --> 16:54.480
She turns drawings of bridges
into actual bridges.

16:54.520 --> 16:57.080
That one in the city's hers.
What a show-off.

17:00.000 --> 17:02.920
Why didn't you go with Emma
to New Mexico?

17:04.040 --> 17:05.640
Oh, 'cause of the dog.

17:05.680 --> 17:09.960
No. 'Cause of, well, Mia, my job.

17:11.480 --> 17:14.440
Actually, she never asked

17:14.480 --> 17:17.200
probably because she knew
what the answer was gonna be.

That's our secret to success,
you know.

she doesn't need you.

than those awful phone calls.

she's about to tell me
she's never coming back.

was this the plan all along?
