Last time on Dog Park...
Wait, is that Beattie?
Hi, Beattie! You took Beattie to work?
You love dogs. You have a dog,
and now you're marrying a human dog.
Sam is prone to doubt
about her own feelings.
WOMAN: Thank you, Marty.
You are my best boy.
WOMAN: I want you to bury him in the park under the tree.
Good night, Roland.
RADIO HOST: ..and his colleague, Eleanor Asani,
are working on software for the ELT,
and on how that even bigger telescope up the road
can be run from the same control room as the VLT.
(WHEELS ROLL NOISILY)
..they can't wait to see what this new megatelescope will do.
WOMAN (OVER RADIO): It is going to be a revolution.
Hey! (LAUGHS) Hi!
(BOTH CHUCKLE) How was it?
Oh, my God! Did you bring Beattie?
It's just so not like Australia. At all.
I mean, they're so polite and nice. Medicated, probably.
Dad, it's refreshing.
Oh, and the coffee there sucks, so...
Like, sucks. I missed the coffee here for sure.
You know, this one time,
this guy kept letting me go in front of him,
and he was so nice...

MIA: Oh, my God!
Dad, you bought all my favourite things.
Huh? Oh, maybe one or two.
Not on purpose, though.
So, uh, what's on the cards today?
Just a whole lot of sleeping?
Nah, I slept on the plane.
Do you want to...do you want to come to the park?
What? Nothing.
Well, I know,
it's just Sam and Steve's champagne breakfast, that's all.
You've literally turned into Mum.
(LAUGHS) OK.
Not literally. Obviously.
I'll come.
Really? (HE GASPS) Did you hear that?
She's coming! She said yes! (CHUCKLES)
We'll wait.
Are you wearing Mum's beanie? Huh? No!
Uh, welcome to a, uh, dog's breakfast.
(MAN CHUCKLES) You know what?
I'm just gonna do it. Yeah, you are!
Just gonna do it. Yeah!
What do I have to lose? I'm just gonna do it.
Jonah's gonna quit his job! Oh, that is excellent news!
A bit of bubbly? Oh, yes.
For a dog's breakfast. (CHUCKLES)
There's OJ, to. Not Simpson. Oh.
Jonah's gonna quit his job! Ah!
Well, that's no good, Jonah. No, no. It's good, Steve-o.
Oh. That's good, Jonah. (CHUCKLES)
Did you see the landing sign?! I'm not sure,
but I think I saw Ryan Gosling.
80% sure. Show me your hands.
If they're blue, you've made contact.
Is she back early? I was just about to ask.
Yeah, well, we left it up to her, but, you know,
we're just waiting to hear the real reason.
Oh, she probably just missed you. Yeah.
(ALL CHUCKLE)
Are you coming to the wedding? Oh, God, no.
I mean, I'm not actually invited anyway, so...
Oh. Oh, shame.
I might know someone who could get you in.
No, no, honestly, I've got to pop into work and stuff...
Oh...OK. Sorry.
MIA: Dad?
Pamelia thinks I have adrenal fatigue.
Yeah, that's not a thing. It is a thing!
No, no, it's really not a thing.
Hey! Top up for the blushing bride?
Thank you. Oh, please stop calling me that.
Well.
How are you? Oh, yeah.
Well, you look, um...very...ready.
I'll probably change before the ceremony.
Right. OK. Yeah.
Roland thinks he's not invited to the wedding.
What? Oh, no, yeah, I mean... No no, no.
Honestly, I really don't want to... STEVE: Cheers, everyone!
Attention, everyone.
Do you want me to rock the baby? Oh. Thank you. Yeah.
Thank you for coming to our dog's breakfast.
Uh, I wasn't going to make a speech.
Give?
Give, give a speech.
Uh, but I'll just say a few words to warm up for the big one tonight.
Um...
I really just wanted to say thank you,
from the bottom of my heart,
for accepting me into the Divers.
I feel like I belong, truly.
Which, you know, wasn't always the case.
Sam...
And I'll cover this later, obviously, but...
..you are my daylight and moonlight.
I love your smile, your eyes,
your, uh, personality. (CHUCKLES)
Um...
I love how you love our baby muppet.
And I know you love him more than you love me,
which is understandable, and I'm fine with,
as long as I'm in your pack.
And I don't mean your backpack.
Dog pack.
Yeah. Um,
seriously, though, Sam, you're amazing.
Your mind is...mind-blowing.
Your work, I...don't pretend to know anything about bridges,
but...I know what they do.
They join two sides of a valley or a river.
They bring things together.
And our love is like that bridge.
And all of you are the traffic.
Might just tighten that up a bit for tonight's, um, speech.
Uh, anyway. To Sam!
ALL: To Sam.
Thank you. (EXHALES)
That was great! That was great, buddy.
Yeah? Oh, thank you so much. Yeah, yeah, yeah!
I'll see you at the, um... Well done!
Thank you.
Yeah. It's Divas, not Divers. What's a diva?
Doesn't matter.
Hey. Great speech. Thank you.
One of the greats. Yeah. Oh, fantastic!
Alright, well, I'm off.
The I's and the T's aren't going to dot and cross themselves, so.
Right. Have you left them long enough?
Uh, I'm sorry. I just need to talk to you quickly
about the seating chart. Sure.
My cousin just texted me, and, um...
Thanks. Yeah, no worries.
He didn't hear a thing.
So, I wonder if it's time
to invite Roland back into the group chat.
That's a bigger conversation. Ah.
It seems like a simple yes or no.
How's, um...
Life without Marty?
Sad and quiet.
Breathable air, though, I guess?
(SIGHS) Sorry. Too soon.
So, um...can I just ask, Pamelia doesn't have a dog.
Or she does?
She doesn't?
She does. She does.
Why would she come to a dog park if she didn't have to?
Roland,
I have met some unobservant people in my time...
She doesn't. ..but you take the cake.
Is it dog cake?
Pamelia is by herself.
She had no one in the whole city.
And she always came to the park.
And she'd ask people if she could pat their dogs.
And actually, it was Emma who noticed her
the first time, trying to make contact.
And she kept coming.
And she's been with us ever since.
Hey! Of course you can come to the wedding.
Oh, no, no, I don't want...I don't want to.
I mean, I don't, it's not... I'm just not the wedding type.
Come on. You can have Emma's seat.
That's weird, isn't it? Is that weird?
It's slightly confronting.
On the plus side, you could be sitting next to me.
Huh?
Uh, OK. Yeah, sure. Great. Yay!
Yay! Yay. I've got to get to work.
So I'll, uh... See you there, Mrs Steve.
Yeah! Ah, yep. See you soon.
Ooh, I'll take that.
Bye! Bye, Beattie.
I'm coming to work. What? You don't have to do that.
You stay at home with your pookie. Ew, don't do that.
So what are we getting Sam and Steve?
What for?
The wedding present, Dad.
Oh, no. Do I have to? I don't have to, do I?
My gosh, who raised me?
(EXHALES) Right, I guess I do.
So people just come in here,
sit down and say, "Help, I need a job"?
Yeah. Pretty much.
And then you say,
"Uh, I think you'd be a good plumber."
Yeah, and that's exactly how I sound.
Do it on me.
(CLEARS THROAT) Serious?
Right! At last, she needs my help.
OK. Um...
OK. What sort of work are you interested in?
Anything that pays.
Don't say that in an interview.
Definitely don't say that.
Um, and so, uh, do you have any qualifications?
No. Not yet.
But I'm going to uni next year.
Oh.
Can I just...sorry.
Can you just say that for Mum?
OK. Hi, Mum.
I'm gonna go to uni next year.
OK, thanks.
But how would I know I'm doing the right thing?
Oh, well, you don't.
Dad, you suck at this.
No, I mean...well, you've got time.
I mean, if you get it wrong, who cares?
You can just try something else.
I mean, look at your mum!
She's in her 40s and she's completely reinventing her life,
which is so great.
All you can really do is think
about what's important to you right now.
How you want to spend your time on this earth.
Gosh.
You don't say that to them, do you? Yeah, I do.
And then I say,
"Why don't you write your own gravestone?"
(LAUGHS)
God, you're being serious. Yeah!
Yeah. I say, "What would it say on your grave?"
Dad, what's wrong with you? Well, try it.
Imagine you've had the most perfect life...
No, seriously, Dad.
What's wrong with you?
Nothing.
I mean...
Are you OK?
You know...
Oh, I mean...
Nothing's wrong.
I suppose I... (CLEARS THROAT)
I guess I've just been in a really...
..really long...
..bad mood.
And now?
(KNOCKING AT DOOR)
Hey. Sorry, sir. Roland.
Uh, am I interrupting?
No.
You're doing the gravestone thing?
You know it. (CHUCKLES)
Uh, thanks for the lend.
Oh! It really came through.
Glad to hear it. Cheers.
Good luck.
I should go get ready.
Pookie, let's go.
Come on!
Looks like she wants to stay.
Thanks a lot, Traitor.
Bye. I'll see you at home. See you.
And don't forget the wedding present, OK?
Oh... Bye!
(PHONE CHIMES)
Ah.
Seems like a short honeymoon. Yes.
I couldn't get any more time off. Ah.
(DOG SNIFFS) (CHUCKLES SOFTLY)
He's wondering where Marty is.
I suppose I should get rid of all his things.
Are you sure it's not too soon? I can find someone else.
Oh, no, no, no. It'll be lovely to have him.
It's only for a week.
OK, thanks.
Alright. Oh.
You're gonna have such a good time, aren't you?
You're not going to want to come home.
He'll have to, I'm afraid.
I'm jetting off to Scotland in a month.
Did I know this?
Oh, lucky you!
Why are you going to Scotland? Oh, visiting an old friend.
Him-friend or her-friend?
Her name's Ingrid.
We hiked the West Highland Way together when we were in our 20s.
That actually sounds incredible. Yeah.
There are some mind-blowing early bridges in Scotland.
Forth Rail is the obvious one, but Kylesku, the Clachan Bridge,
it's the only one that crosses the Atlantic.
I'll send you a link.
You should be honeymooning in Scotland.
Europe is too far and too crowded for Steve.
I was lucky to get him on a plane at all.
Still, there's always next time.
Um, next trip, I mean, not next marriage.
(CHUCKLES)
There should be a few bridges in Fiji.
There's bound to be one over the pool.
Sam?
Yeah?
Remember to enjoy today.
Yes. Thank you.
(CHEERFUL POP MUSIC PLAYS) MIA: It smells good, too.
Are you gonna have a bowl?
(MIA AND PAMELIA CHATTER UNINTELLIGIBLY)
This drink is OK as well.. (SHE CHATTERS INAUDIBLY)
Hello?
Hi! Hi!
What's going on? We're getting ready here,
I told you, Dad. We're making mac and cheese.
It stinks! You stink.
You stink! JONAH: Oh, shit.
What's wrong? She's coming here.
Who now? Anita?
Yes. I'm sorry,
she kept asking where I was and I couldn't lie to her.
I don't know who you're talking about, but is she dangerous?
Dude, she's my sister. This is good, you can tell her,
and then she can tell your dad. What do you think, Rolly?
Of? Jonah's quitting his job.
I can't do this to my dad.
Well, I'm sure if you're happy, he'll understand.
Dude, there's no such thing as happy.
You just work and work and work then, until...
..until you die. Jonah, whatever you're feeling
right now, you're never going to stop feeling it
unless you do something about it.
You know what? Let's just forget about it, alright?
I'll do it properly next week.
(DOORBELL RINGS)
I'm getting the door. No, no, wait, wait, wait!
Hey! I am getting the door.
Hi, I'm looking for Jonah.
Maybe this isn't the right house...
Sorry... No, no, um...
Jonah. Jonah's kere.
Here.
Not kere, I mean...
Please, come in.
(MOUTHS SILENTLY)
Are you hungry? Do you want something to eat?
Oh, I'm good. Thanks.
Why am I here, bro? Oh, yeah. Yeah, funny you ask.
Um, so, you know, I was going to come to lunch, but...
But you got scared.
I don't want to work for Dad anymore.
OK?
Phil and Robbie are just... They're bullies in the workplace,
and so Jonah quits.
(MOUTHS SILENTLY)
Yeah, you know, I, I...
I thought about my decision, and...
And this is what's best for me right now.
OK.
What? I just came here
because Dad told me to.
But...tell him I was all upset,
and I ordered you to get back to work.
And you told me where I could shove work.
Blah, blah, blah. You win, I win.
And then you're out.
(CHUCKLES SOFTLY) OK.
Oh. OK.
Mm.
Thank you.
I'm proud of you.
Ah, but don't worry about Dad.
He'll just be glad there's no surprise pregnancy.
(BOTH SPEAK NATIVE LANGUAGE)
(BOTH LAUGH)
Enjoy wherever you guys are going. You look good.
Thank you. Nice dress.
Ciao, bello. Ciao.
(MOUTHS SILENTLY)
(DOORBELL RINGS)
Hey, Mr Roland.
I'm sorry to turn up like this.
Uh, no, you're not the first, Connor.
I got these for Mia. Yeah. Look, I don't..
I don't think this is a good time. She's...she just got back.
She's feeling really good about herself, and...
She's...oh. Baby! Hiii!
Dad, it's Connor.
Yes. Yes, it is.
We're moving in together. Uh, no you're not.
It's a share house.
I don't care if it's a birdhouse. I thought you told him.
No, there is no way that...we'll... We'll have to talk.
"We'll...we'll...we'll talk about this later.
Come on, don't worry, come here.
Guys, it's Connor! JONAH: Connor!
(ALL CHATTER HAPPILY)
CONNOR: It's nice to see you guys! You coming to the wedding?
Oh, no... No, I'm really sorry I can't go...
(VOICES DROWN OUT)
(BEATTIE WHIMPERS)
(MUSIC AND CHATTER)
She really needed it. She's quite lonely...
Are you good? Steve!
Are you good? You're so calm!
(LAUGHS)
He looks terrified. Very pale. Oh!
(ALL YELL HAPPILY)
Oh, you look gorgeous!
(ALL TALK OVER EACH OTHER) Hi, are you all good?
Yeah, man! OK, good.
How are you doing? Are you all good?
Yeah. All good. OK!
Hey, guys, let's take a selfie with the groom
before he disappears on us. OK, a quick one.
Pamelia, can I just ask you something?
Would you mind looking after my house when I'm away?
Everybody say, "love is forever"!
ALL: Love is forever!
Hi.
Don't you have something big on? I do.
It's probably one of your lines. (LAUGHS)
Oh, shit. My lines.
Did you limo break down? No, I just...
I just asked them to, um...
I didn't think I was going to be this nervous.
Well, it is a big... I mean, it's my second go,
but weirdly, I think that's why I'm more nervous.
What? You've been married before? Yeah, I told you that.
No, you didn't tell me. I mean, I would have remembered.
I mean, that's OK. Huh.
Well, the first one, I just assumed it would be forever.
Of course. And it wasn't.
So this time,
I know that there's a chance that it won't be.
Not that I want that,
but I really don't want to be thinking that today.
And I think that...the fact that... That is in...is why that...
Anyway, Why are you here?
I'm nervous for you.
That's very sweet.
Would you like a glass of bubbly? Yes.
Oh, yes, I would really like that.
(CHUCKLES)
This is your present, by the way. Ah! (LAUGHS)
Mm.
It's a bit smudged.
Yeah, I painted that myself. No!
Did you?
(LAUGHS)
Thank you.
Why does he love me so much?
Right? Hey.
He's so bloody nice.
He is.
He also...
..he doesn't have to be everything for you, you know?
If you're thinking,
"Why doesn't he get bridges like I do?"
Or, "Why doesn't he, like, appreciate my knitwear?"
You know? That's OK, because you've got friends.
Probably, I imagine heaps of friends
who do love bridges and knitwear.
Not as many as you'd think.
Oh, shit. My vows.
I was supposed to have memorised them. Can you test me?
What, now? Yeah.
It's a bit late. No. It's fine. Just prompt me.
Prompt you?
Uh, right. Here you go.
Just...Just prompt me.
OK. Um...
Steve... Wrong. Sorry. Go on.
Steve...
..you remind me that life is for living.
You love me as I am.
As I am...
And I am...
Fuck.
Uh. "You love me as I am,
"and help me burn to dare myself..." (LAUGHS)
"Learn to love myself." "Learn to love myself."
Yeah, that.
God!
You have terrible writing!
Just...would you? OK. Sorry. Uh...
"I promise to do my best to be warty of you."
I'm guessing that's "worthy".
"Worthy of you."
"Worthy of this love."
I promise to always love you.
To be the friend you need.
That's the next line, right?
Yes. Yep.
Finally, I remembered something.
Yeah. And then it's just..."I love you."
And, uh, then you just...
Then you have to kiss.
Well, not have to kiss, want to kiss.
And...and, uh, then you're on the home stretch.
Oh, my God.
Is that a tail? What?
Is that Marty's tail?
No...no.
No, fuck, no! What? His tail.
No...is that... (GASPS)
Shit, I have to go. Oh, shit. Is that...
You can't go! Is that a tail? Yeah, I don't know!
You can't...
Wait. I can't deal with this right now.
(BOTH SHOUT) Oh, no. It's a cinnamon scroll.
What?! It's a what?! Cinnamon scroll.
God! Oh, my God! Oh, my God.
Oh, God. OK. What? Alright.
I have to go. Yeah, you should go.
Uh, thank you for my present. You're welcome.
I'm happy to finish it for you.
And, uh, thank you for being my prompt.
You know, you know, like,
if you lose your place, just make it up.
You know how you feel.
You're not coming, are you?
Not to this one, no.
Uh...um...
I didn't mean that like it sounded.
OK.
Um.
Bye.
(FOOTSTEPS APPROACHING)
Where were you? I went to the wrong church.
Dad. (CHUCKLES SOFTLY)
Was it a nice wedding? Lovely couple.
Lucky I was there, actually,
because they didn't have any friends.
Do you really want to move in with Connor?
Yes, I really do.
Do you hate the idea? I really do.
But I suppose, as long as you're happy...and safe.
In that order? Um...
It changes, but those two are always at the top.
We're looking at a share house tomorrow.
Oh.
Well... (INHALES)
OK.
Maybe you could look at this house.
And Connor could...move in here.
Are you being serious? Well, yeah, I guess.
I can usually tell, but this would be a really mean joke.
Yeah, I'm not that mean.
Dad! Oh, my gosh, you're the best!
I don't care what everyone else says about you.
You're not doing this because you're lonely, are you?
(LAUGHS SOFTLY, STAMMERS)
I mean, I think if I was lonely, no offence,
but Connor would not be at the top of my list.
Rolly? Yeah?
There's a guy at Mum's work.
He really likes her.
He's really handsome.
And rich, too.
Huh.
And...he asked her out.
But she told him...she's married,
and still loves her husband.
(CRIES SOFTLY) I'm gonna go call Connor.
(BEATTIE WHIMPERS) Come here.
(MOANS)
Here lies Roland.
