- Politics are appealing for calm

throughout they evacuation process.

- Trudy.
- Oh, what?

It's not how it looks?

Please.
- It's not.

- After everything you said to me,



you little liar.

You lied to me.

- I don't lie.

- You said there was nothing going on

between you and Salene.

- There wasn't, it just happened,

a spontaneous, spur of the moment thing.

- Don't you dare say it meant nothing.

- Look, I like Salene,
and I care about her,

but I care about you too.

- That's supposed to make
me feel better, is it?

Bray's little harem, I'm lucky enough

to be one of his girlies.

- Look, I can't live this
fantasy you're creating about us.



- What is so difficult?

We've got Brady, we care about each other,

what do you want, Bray,
tell me, I can be it,

anything.

- What I want is some space and peace.

And I'm obviously never
gonna get it around here.

- Hey, you're up early.
- Things to organize,

places to go.

- You sound like a girl with plans.

- Too right, man type plans.

- I should've guessed.

So what's Lex in for now then?

- Just a zap of romance, it's
what's missing in our lives.

- And the rest?

- This survival business is all very well,

but we women need a bit of
love and attention at times.

- So yorue gonna bombard him
with champagne and roses?

- I'm just planning a cozy,
candlelit dinner for two.

Whip up something amazing
from the food store,

wear my sexiest number.

- I think I get the picture.

- I'll have him whispering
sweet nothings in my ear

by the end of the evening.

- You'll have him hot
and bothered, more like.

- Fine, I can handle Lex.

- Me too.

Which makes me wonder.
- What?

- Why do you bother?

- We're not all frigid, Amber.

- Look what I found in the antique shop.

- We had an atlas like that at school.

- Yucky.

- Ms. Jenkins used to make
us point and say Paris

is the capital of France
and Austria is the capital

of Holland.

- That's not right, it's Amsterdam,

Austria is a whole
different country, stupid.

- What's Austria's capital
then, smarty pants?

- It's, it hasn't got one.

- Of course it has, all
countries have got capitals.

Amber?

- What?

- Haven't all countries got capitals?

- Yes, why do you ask?

- Chloe said Austria doesn't have one.

- So what, it doesn't matter.

- Well, geography is important
so we know where we are

in the world.

- I know exactly where we are,
stuck in this stupid mall,

and I suppose we'll be here forever.

- Hi, sexy.

Fancy getting in?

- Now, why would I wanna do that?

- Warm this cold, cold bed.

- Time you're up anyway.

- Says who?

- Can't have our chief
of security lying around

drooling over Ferraris.

- It's a weird world we live in now.

Before, Ferraris were
totally out of reach.

You had to be a rockstar to own one.

- Or grow up with one.

- Now there's all the Ferraris
you can lay your hands on,

but no juice.

- Nevermind, you can still
have the things that matter,

like me.

- Depends what you mean by have.

- Let's not get into that.

- Where's the fun in life?

- I can answer that, tonight.

Candlelit dinner for two.

- Which two?

- Your pick.

- As invites go, I've had Better.

- It'll be great, your favorite grub,

food rationing permitting.

- Sounds more promising.

- Just you and me, alone, together.

- It's getting better by the minute.

- Do I take that as a yes?

- Depends.
- On what?

- Whether you're gonna wear
your feathers and lace.

- You'll just have to wait and see.

My place, 7:30, and don't be late.

(baby cooing)

- Up, Bo, come on, lie down, Bo.

Sometimes, do you hate it here?

- Yes.

- I do, and I hate everyone too.

Except you and Brady.

Sorry, I didn't mean to upset you.

- No, it's not you, Chloe, it's Bray.

He's gone.

- You mean gone, gone, forever?

- I don't know.

- Men aren't good things, are they?

They always upset you and make you cry.

- The ones I meet do.

- Did you love Bray?

- Do, I do love Bray.

- I'm never going to love boys.

They're too much trouble.

- I wish I thought the same way as you.

- You'll get married very late in life,

and have three children.

- If it's so late, when
will I get the chance

to have three kids.

- Fate will arrange it for you.

You have to trust, Amber.

- You really believe all this?

- Most definitely.

There are more things in
heaven and earth, Horatio,

than are dreamt of in your philosophy.

- Shakespeare, Hamlet.

- You remembered something
from school, then.

- Which is more than can
be said for those kids.

They didn't know what the
capital of Austria was.

- Oops.

- So I've been thinking we
need to start some lessons.

- Great idea.

- Is that great as in boring

or great as in you'll help?

- You've twisted my arm.

- Cool, well I'm okay
at maths and English,

but I'm rubbish at physics and chemistry.

- Forget them.

- But they're important.

- Tell me why.

- Well, physics for example,

Jack is building all sorts of stuff

for us to communicate with.

- All we need to communicate
is mouths, ears, eyes, hearts.

- Well, fine for in here,
but what about out there.

- We've got to learn to deal
with present reality, Amber.

Right now, you and I are all that exist.

- Sounds heavy.

Tai-San?
- Yes?

- Do you think you could
come down off the ether

long enough to teach the
kids their times tables.

- I'll try and fit it
in between meditations.

- You're on.

(baby crying)

- [Bob] Trudy, do you
think Brady needs changing?

- I don't know.

- Or maybe she's hungry.
- Maybe.

- Trudy, what's happened?

Is there anything we can do?

- It's just something Chloe said.

- Something Chloe said upset you?

- She asked if Bray had
gone gone, like forever.

- I didn't know he'd gone at all.

And if he has, it's nothing new.

- Shut up, Jake.

He's left you again?

(baby crying)

Did you argue?

- I think I've really done it this time

scared him off for good.

- I'm sorry.

- I couldn't handle it,
Dal, if he never came back.

What would I do?

- I think the baby is a bit pongy.

- Trudy?

- I think we better take sprocket away,

don't you?

(baby crying)

- She needs changing.

- Oh, like it needs saying.

- Why isn't Trudy doing it?

- She's sleeping.

- You mean she doesn't want to.

Why not?

- She's depressed about Bray.

- What's he gone and done now?

- He's just gone.

- Why, they seemed to be
getting on really well.

- Relationships, who can tell.

- Anyway, we better get going.

Jack's got a...
- Fish to fry.

- I am tired of being lumbered
with her responsibilities.

- It must be hard though.
- Why?

- Coping with a newborn baby.

And a free spirited guy who
doesn't know what he wants.

- Very sympathetic of you.

What do you mean doesn't
know what he wants?

- Okay, I mean who,
doesn't know who he wants.

- You or Trudy, what
have you done, Salene?

- It was just one kiss, a quick snog,

I don't know why she's
making such a fuss about it.

- You kissed Bray?

- At Chloe's party.

We didn't mean to.

- That's the most pathetic
excuse I've ever heard.

- It wasn't an excuse.

It's a fact, and I don't
want any lectures, thank you.

- You realize you could've
just crashed the whole group,

shaky as it is.

- Don't be so dramatic, Amber.

Guys have dumped girls before
and the world survived.

- You think he might
come back to you then.

- If that kiss was anything to go by.

- You said it was just one quick snog.

- I lied.

- It's amazing what you can
do with tuna, tin beans,

and mashes, isn't it?

- And I thought I was
eating pepperoni pizza.

- Idiot.

I am a woman of many talents,

even if I do say so Myself.

- Don't I know it, babe.

- Go on, list them then.

- Well, you cook, you look drop dead sexy,

and I bet you'd be great in bed.

- Lex, don't spoil things.

- You know you don't mean that.

- Don't, Lex.

- I've had enough of
this, you little tease.

You know you want it.

And babe, you're gonna get it.

- Don't Lex, please, stop it, get off me.

- What are you doing, Lex?

- Who invited you.

- Get off, get off.

- It was her own fault, she asked for it.

- Stop it, Ryan, you're strangling him.

- You all right?

- No.

How could he?

- I don't know, I suppose
he got a bit carried away.

- A bit, he almost raped me.

He would've, if you hadn't stopped him.

You're a hero.

- Anyone would do the same.

- You saved me, Ryan.

And I'm really, truly grateful.

(upbeat music)

One minute, we were snogging.

And the next, he jumped on me.

- What did you expect him to do?

Suggest a game of Ludo?

- Cut it out, Salene, can't
you see she's still freaked?

- It was so awful, I was terrified.

- Not half as terrified as Lex will be

when I get ahold of him.

- Why, what are you gonna do to him?

- I haven't figured out
something horrible enough yet.

Before, he would've been
put on trial for assault.

- That's going a bit far, isn't it?

- He has to be punished.

- No, no.

Just forget it, please.

Zandra, if we let him get away with it,

what kind of message does
that send to the others.

You want to sleep safe in
your bed at night, don't you?

- Well, yeah, but...

- But?

- What if it wasn't all his fault?

- What do you mean?

- What if I might've been
leading him on a tiny bit.

- Hard to imagine.

- Shut up, Salene.

So you want him to get away with it?

- I expect he's feeling horribly guilty.

I'm sure he won't try it again.

- Lex isn't getting away with it,

he's really messed up his psychic energy.

- Who cares?

- It's not good for the group, bad vibes.

- What about Zandra's psychic energy.

He certainly gave that a bashing.

- You're right, Amber.

They both need to do something
to repair the damage.

- Well I know what I'll be doing,

staying as far away from him as possible.

- That's not the answer.

What you both need is healing communion.

- Tai-San is getting weird again.

What I need is a cup of tea.
- Me too.

- So what's healing
communion when it's at home?

- Like marriage.

- You've got to be joking.

- You won't give him what he wants

because you're afraid he'll dump you.

- Too right, he would.

- Meanwhile, he's so frustrated,

he's jumping on you.

- Don't remind me.

- Doesn't marriage solve both problems.

- If you put it like that.

- I'll even perform the ceremony.

- You're serious, aren't you?

(birds chirping)

- [Kids] Priestess power,
priestess power, priestess power.

Priestess power, priestess
power, priestess power,

priestess power, priestess
power, priestess power,

priestess power, priestess
power, priestess power.

- Look, get him.

(kids yelling)

- You okay now?
- Much better, thanks.

- He shouldn't have done it.

- I expect he's holed up
somewhere feeling dead guilty.

- Lex?

- Maybe not.

- I brought you this.

- We don't have baths, Ryan.

But it's a lovely thought.

I'll keep it for when we do.

- So you're single now.

- I suppose so.

- Me too.

- That's right.

- We're both single.
- Yes, Ryan.

- I'd take much better care
of you than he ever did.

Please, Zandra, give me a chance?

- You mean us?

Go out together?

- I could make you happy, I know I could.

- You're so sweet.

- I don't wanna be sweet.

I wanna be like Lex so you'll fancy me.

- No you don't.

You're a far better man than Lex, only...

- You don't fancy me.

- I've always gone for the
bums, it's in my nature.

If only I could fall
for a good guy like you.

- So you're saying no.

- I'm saying find a
girl that deserves you.

And I'm really sorry it's not me.

- Okay, let's try 11 into 176.

Chloe, what do we do first?

- 11 goes into 17 nearly twice.

- You're supposed to say
once and six leftover.

- Well done Patsy, come and write that up.

- What do we do now Paul?

(babbles)

- Paul.

- I know, 11 into 66 goes
six, so the answer is 16.

- Clever clogs.

- Just because you can't do maths.

- I could if someone else
wasn't always butting in first.

- Kids, this isn't a competition.

Anyway, we've all got different talents.

- She's best at sucking her thumb.

- You promised you wouldn't say.

You promised.

- What's it matter anyway?

- It does to her, that was unkind.

- I told you we'd have been better off

teaching them about caring and sharing.

- I'm never sharing anything with her.

- I think I've gone off
this idea in a big way.

Class dismissed.

(game beeping)

- I suppose you've come for an apology.

- That would be nice, yes.

- All right, I'm sorry.

But a man can only take so much come-on.

- I was only flirting.

- Well, when it works and I get excited,

what am I supposed to do.

- Show some restraint, and respect.

- You should try being a
man, it's not that easy.

You all right.

- Yeah, thanks for asking.

- I suppose that's it then.

- Not exactly.

- You wanna give it another go?

- I want us to get married.

- You've gotta be winding me up, right?

- No.
- How come?

- Tai-San said we'd both
be getting what we wanted,

and it'd be spiritually uplifting.

- Oh, in that case, yeah.

- So what do you say?

- I say you're completely
off your trolley.

- Sorry.

- No, you stay, Ryan, I'm out of here.

- You were way out of
order, you shouldn't treat

a woman like that.

You--
- she just asked me

to marry her.

- Not seriously.

- Dead.

- But there's no one
proper to marry you both,

so it couldn't be real.

- Good point.

Good point.

(kids yelling)

- Tie him up, then we'll have some fun.

- About this wedding.
- What about it?

- Shall we ask Ryan to be the best man?

- You certainly got up

on the right side of bed this morning?

- It's not every day you get--

- Get what?
- Nothing, I promised

I wouldn't say.

- You are such a tease.

Sorry, that wasn't very tactful,

not after what you've just been through.

- That's all history.

- You certainly forgive
and forget pretty quickly.

- Neither, actually.

I took a different approach.

- You kneed him in the whatsits?

- I asked him to marry me.

Oh, I've told you now.

- [Salene] You what?

- I'm getting married, Salene.

- What's the catch?

- I don't know what you're on about.

- I'm on about, why?

- Simple, Lex and I love each other

and wanna tie the knot.

Tai-San's gonna do it.

- We're talking the same Lex here?

The one who ignores you and puts you down

and has been know to attack you.

- But that was before we were committed.

- You think just because Tai-San's

gonna perform some wacky ceremony,

the guy is gonna change.

- It won't be wacky.

And Lex wouldn't be doing
it if he wasn't serious.

- So when's the big day?

- As soon as I've got a dress sorted out.

- I'm worried about her,
she's just lying there.

- [Boy] You think she's
broken up for good with Bray.

- Relationships, who needs them?

- Bray shouldn't keep
going off like that anyway,

he should be a good dad.

- He's not the dad.

- Well, a good pretend dad, then.

- You'll never guess
what I've just been told.

- Give up, what?

- Although, it was in confidence.

- Well, keep it that way, then.

- I can't.

- Zandra and Lex are getting hitched.

- They're what?

- So she took my advice.

- This was your idea?

- If she gets a wedding
ring, he gets his oats.

- For a spiritual person,

you can be amazingly coarse.

- I prefer to call it being grounded.

- She needs her head examined.

I always thought she had a screw loose.

- She does love him.

- Yeah, but he doesn't know
the meaning of the word.

- The scary thing is she
thinks it's gonna change Lex.

- Only a knock on the
head with a large hammer

would change Lex.

- And will it mean anything
if you do the ceremony?

- Thanks a bunch.

- You know what I mean,
you're not qualified.

- You're looking to the past again, Amber.

Things have changed.

We are making New rules.

We're whatever we want to be.

- Hi gang, you'll never
believe what I'm doing.

(kids laughing)

- [Boy] Who's the tough guy now?

- Stop.

Go, I need to talk to him alone.

I've seen you with Zoot, and
I wanna know where he is.

You will answer me, because if you don't,

I'll let the boys have their fun.
