S1 E15Unfinished Business

They keep asking me, "What do you want from this workshop? What do you want?" I'm not telling them what I want. I want to move back home. I want to hug my wife, protect my children, protect my daughter. I want to move on. I want to apologise, to everyone. Want to go to the theatre. I want to take clean cups out of the dishwasher and put them in the cupboard at home and the next morning, I want to watch my wife drink from them. And I want to make her feel good. I want to make her orgasm again. And again. Truly.

I just want to cry. All the time.

Cafes are a very difficult business. You've certainly made this one very unique.

I also fucked it into liquidation.

And I fucked up my family.

Did you?

And I fucked my friend by fucking her boyfriend.

Right...

And sometimes I wish I didn't even know that fucking existed. And I know that my body, as it is now, really is the only thing I have left, and when that gets old and unfuckable I may as well just kill it. And somehow there isn't anything worse than someone who doesn't want to fuck me. I fuck everything. Except for when I was in your office, I really wasn't trying to have sex. You know, either everyone feels like this a little bit, and they're just not talking about it, or I'm completely fucking alone. Which isn't fucking funny.

There's always a stage when someone's falling in love with you that they lose their erection. They get confused, they panic, the stakes get too high, the blood rushes from their dick to their heart.

AGArsehole Guy

Oh, Jesus.

And everything is fucked.

DDad

Jesus, why do daughters say they get fucked up by their fathers when it's so often the other way round?

GGodmother

You know the most fascinating thing about Father here, is that his mother was originally a lesbian!

Positive energy takes work. In the last six months, I've excelled. I take all the negative emotions and just bottle them and bury them and they never come out. I've basically never been better.

CCounsellor

So, why do you think your father suggested you come for counselling?

I think because my mother died and he can't talk about it and my sister and I didn't speak for a year because she thinks I tried to sleep with her husband and because I spent most of my adult life using sex to deflect from the screaming void inside my empty heart. [aside] I'm good at this!

CCounsellor

Do you really want to fuck the priest, or do you want to fuck God?

Can you fuck God?

CCounsellor

Oh yes.

Look, just please tell me how to not fuck a priest. Before I get arrested.

BBelinda

Women are born with pain built in. It's our physical destiny. Period pains, sore boobs, childbirth, you know. We carry it within ourselves throughout our lives. Men don't. They have to seek it out. They invent all these gods and demons and things just so they can feel guilty about things, which is something we also do very well on our own. And then they create wars, so they can feel things and touch each other, and when there aren't any wars they can play rugby. And we have it all going on in here, inside. We have pain on a cycle for years and years and years and then, just when you feel you are making peace with it all, what happens? The menopause comes. The fucking menopause comes and it is the most most wonderful fucking thing in the world! And, yes, your entire pelvic floor crumbles and you get fucking hot and no-one cares, but then you're free. No longer a slave, no longer a machine, with parts. You're just a person in business.

Oh. I was told it was horrendous.

BBelinda

It is horrendous, but then it's magnificent.

You'll always be fine. You'll always be interesting, with your quirky cafe and your dead best friend. You just make me feel like I've failed.

Claire...

If you mention the size of my office, I will scream.

It's huge!

Celibacy is a lot less complicated than romantic relationships.

What if you meet someone you like?

I talk and drink and laugh and give them Bibles, and hope they eventually leave me alone.
