Southgate helps Rivers deal with the cops when they arrive to question him about a stolen car. Chaka worries about her presence in the stolen vehicle being revealed to the police. Nick spends the night with Jodie causing his parents to worry about his absence. Christina decides to leave her parents' place and move in with Yola.

"But, soft! What light
through yonder window breaks?"

"It is the east, and Juliet is the sun."

Miss, what do you reckon,
Juliet is a sexy babe?

Yeah, I do.

"Arise, fair sun,
and kill the envious moon,

Who is already sick--"

I'm already sick of it.

"?and pale with grief."

"That thou her maid art
far more fair than she:"

Yeah, that's right. Go on.

?"Be not her maid,
since she is envious,



Her vestal livery is but
sick and green?"

Yeah.

"And none but fools--"

Ooh, Nicky been keeping you up late again,
has he?

You're a sicko.
-Go on, Nick.

-It's finished.
-Start from, "Cast it off..."

Great mix, sounds mad!

"Cast it off.
It is my lady, O! it is my love:"

Ooh!

Grow up, dorks.

All right.
That's enough from the peanut gallery.

Thank you very much.
You can sit down, Nick.

Well read. Okay.

So what do we think Shakespeare
is trying to say here?



Con?

Miss, I reckon Shakespeare's just trying
to say that Juliet is a sexy babe.

That's good.
Has anybody else got any other ideas?

Yeah, miss, we've got a couple
of visitors.?The pigs are here.

The boys in blue.

All right, wait!

All right. Quiet.

Quiet. I'm gonna be back in
just one second, all right?

Continue reading.

-Can I help you, gentlemen?
-Yes, miss.

We believe you have
a Peter Rivers in your class.

Yes. Is there a problem?

We'd like to discuss
a serious matter with him.

What's the serious matter?

Well, we believe he has information

regarding the theft
of a motor vehicle last night.

All right.
Is he-- Is he under arrest?

He can help us with our inquiries.

-Look, have you seen Mr. Deloraine?
-We've got the authority we need.

I'd like to speak to him.

All right. Just be a second.

Quiet, everybody.
I want you sitting in your seats, please.

Quiet or you're all on detention.

They wanna speak to you, Rivers.

I haven't done anything.

Well, just tell them that, not me.

Yeah, right.
They're really gonna believe me.

What did they get you for, Rivers?

Cradle snatching?

That is enough!

-G'day, Pete.
-I don't know anything, Sarge.

Why don't you come down to the station
and we'll sort this out quietly?

Why are you always picking on me?

We don't wanna get
your old man involved, do we?

Peter's agreed to come down
to the station to sort this all out.

Haven't you, Pete?
-Yeah.

Don't worry, miss.
Everything will be fine.

Peter, do you want me
to call your parents?

No, no. It's cool.

Can I have you sitting down, please?

What are they taking him away for?
-All right.

Okay. Who wants to pick up
where Nick left off?

Come on, miss.

What did they bust him for, miss?

They just wanna ask him
a few routine questions.

Yeah, sure, miss.

Miss, that's what they all say.
Don't you understand?

The next thing you know,
he's probably gonna get hit

over the head with a telephone book.

Look, save the dramatics, Con.

Here he goes.
-Come on.

Sit in your seats, please.
I want you all sitting in your seats!

Rosa, can I have you
sitting in your seat?

Danielle, I want you sitting?
All in your seats.

Thank you.?Right...

All those left here can see me
for an hour after school.

What for?

-I gave you fair warning.
-Yeah, right!

-Would you like double detention?
-Give him triple, miss.

It's the only way he'll learn.
-Now, where were we?

"It is my lady,
O! -"

Can I have Steve reading, please?

"Cast it off."

"It is my lady, O! it is my love:"

Is he under arrest?
-No.

I wanna talk to him.

Now, you don't wanna go
anywhere with them, Rivers,

if you're not under arrest.

They said they'd tell my old man.
I don't want him involved.

He'll go off his head, you know.

I'd suggest you seriously think about this
and not down at the cop shop.

It's up to you.

Yeah, yeah, I suppose you're right.

Good.

Rivers would like to speak
to his family first.

Yeah?

Your old man
will be real understanding, Rivers.

Well, that's up to him.

We still wanna ask him some questions.

You ask them here in front of me,

or you wait until he's ready
to come down tomorrow with his family.

What are you giving us
such a hard time for, Bill?

People are still innocent
until proven guilty.

Now, if you had any proof,
he'd be under arrest.

Very disappointed in your attitude, Bill.

You'll get over it, Timothy.

Come on.

Put it away, or I'll snap it off.

So did you do it?

Anything happens around here,
they blame my family.

Is it just me,
or do I hear violins playing?

Okay,
we're not exactly the Brady Bunch

but they do blame us for everything.

Well, you better hope
they don't find any proof.

Something like this will give you
a snowball's chance in hell

of getting an army apprenticeship.

-Now, go on and get back to your class.
-Thanks, sir.

It's a lot more, it's a lot more decadent,
you know what I'm saying? It's decent.

What can I say? I love it.

-It sounds mad.
-I hope so.

-It's the third mix we've done.
-Yeah, it sounds really professional.

Thanks, Con.

I'm stoked.
I thought we'd be working on it forever.

Yeah. I'm with you. Incredible.

Hey, listen.

How about we go to the beach
later on?

-Can we take your brother's car?
-Yeah, don't worry.

What he doesn't know
is not gonna hurt him.

That's the attitude.

Hey, I'll tell the others?

-All right. Hey.
-What?

Don't go telling the whole school,
big mouth, all right?

Hang on.
Aren't you on detention this arvo?

Can't miss that now, can I?

Well, Milano won't like it.

That's her bad luck.

And then we'll lose the others later on?

And?

You know, we'll think of something.

So what do you say, Chaka?
You wanna come to the beach or what?

-I don't think I should.
-Come on, man.

I know you like the beach.

-Yeah, I do.
-So why don't you just come?

Okay.

-Con.
-What?

It doesn't matter.

Well, you're about as useful
as a chocolate tea pot this morning.

-I beg your pardon?
-To let two cops just waltz in like that

and take one of your students
out of his class?

-They told me they had permission.
-And you believed them?

Yes.
Well, why shouldn't I?

Come on!
I consider those cops mates.

But if they told me it was daytime,

I'd still have to go the window
and see for myself.

What is this, Bill,
the Spanish Inquisition?

She made a mistake.
What you gonna do, have a cow about it?

Look, they told me they had permission.

-No one spoke to me.
-If I hadn't spotted them leaving,

Rivers would be down at the station now
confessing to God knows what.

And what do you want, a medal?

If he's done nothing wrong,
he's got nothing to worry about, has he?

Yeah. That might be true if you can afford
a lawyer?at 100 bucks an hour.

Look, what could I do?
My English class was close to rioting.

I couldn't leave them unattended.

If you're ever in doubt,

you just send your most reliable student
to find me, okay?

Just to be safe.

Listen, don't let Southgate
get up your nose.

He will try but don't let him.

Woo!

Yeah.

Come on, Con.
I wanna get there now.

d Ooh, we're movin' d

d On this train... d

Get a load of those guys.

Come on, let's go.
-All right. Let's go. Whoo!

d Ooh, I'm groovin' d

d Yeah, we're flyin'... d

Hey, Chaka, what's wrong?

-You look lousy.
-I need to talk to you.

Yeah, all right.

Come on. Let's go.

Come on, let's go in the water.

Hey, wait up for us, man.

d I know d

d You know d

d I know... d

Mr. Southgate.

-You got a minute?
-Make it quick.

I was in that stolen car last night
but I didn't know it was nicked.

Davo only told us
when the cops were after us.

I suppose I should've known
it was too good a car for him.

You're a fool, Rivers.

Thanks.

-Do you think you left any fingerprints?
-Don't know.

-Probably.
-Have you ever been fingerprinted?

Yeah. Look, I'm telling the truth.
I didn't know the car was nicked.

Yeah, but trouble just seems
to follow you about, doesn't it?

-What should I do?
-Go down to the cops, tell them the truth.

Would you come with me?

Okay. Jump in.
Might as well get it over with.

Thanks. The old man would beat
the hell out of me if he found out.

I can't guarantee
he's not gonna find out.

Depends on what the cops think.
We'll see what we can do.

d Ooh, I'm groovin' d

d Yeah, we're flyin' d

d With this train of thought d

d I know, you know d

d I know, you know d

d I know, you know d

d Train... d

I'm in big trouble.

What's up, Chaka? What's wrong?

Well, I was with Rivers last night
n a stolen car.

-What?
-I didn't know it was stolen at first.

I just don't know what to do.

Look, don't worry. We'll work it out.

-Just start from the beginning.
-Okay.

Well, I was walking past Ruby's
last night, right?

And Rivers talks me into playing
a game of pool with him.

-Yeah.
-And then I just lost track of time.

And when I realized the time,
I freaked, you know.

And one of his friends
offers us a ride home.

-Yeah.
-I wouldn't go normally, but...

You know, 'cause it was getting late,
so I just said yes, you know what I mean?

-Yeah, I understand.
-Anyway, we're driving along

and this police car starts following us.

No.
-And then I find out it's a stolen car.

Don't know what to do?

-Don't worry about it.
-The car is all smashed up

-and we got away but--
-Hey.

Hey, why don't you guys come in?

Look, Con, rack off.?We're talking.

Well, that's what you guys
usually do anyway--

This is serious, Con.

Yeah? What's the matter?

Look, last night, Rivers and a mate
gave Chaka a ride home

in a stolen car.

-Are you serious?
-I'm really scared, Con.

What if the police come after me?

My mother would never forgive me.

Don't worry about it?

I'll sort it out for you, all right?

-Just leave it to me.
-Okay.

You're so beautiful.

I bet you say that to all the girls.

Only the beautiful ones.

And how many beautiful ones
have there been?

Well, I'm not a virgin,
if that's what you mean.

I didn't think so somehow.

How about you?

I've slept with two guys.

Did you love them?

Yeah. I thought I did at the time.

So what happened?

I don't know.
We just drifted apart.

So what about us?

I love you, you know.

I love you too.

So what about you?
Tell me about your love life.

Nothing much to tell, really.

I bet you're not so modest
with Con and the boys.

Yeah, well, the truth is,
there's been a couple for me too.

A guy like you?

Sure.

Cut it out.

You're blushing.

I am not.

-You're blushing.
-I'm not blushing.

My sister's working late tonight.

That's a shame? for her.

Look, I know Rivers is
a bit wild, but he's not stupid, okay?

He just got into the car with a mate.

And he reckons that he didn't know
the car was stolen, and I believe him.

And why?

I wouldn't trust him
as far as I could kick him.

Look, I know the family has been
in trouble with you blokes before,

but I've been watching this one
over the last couple of years

and he's trying really hard
to get an army apprenticeship.

Come off it.

Something like this on his record
will stuff his chances completely.

Well, what are we gonna do
about it?

We can't let him off scot-free.

I'll make sure he doesn't forget it.

And I'll talk to his father if necessary.

That's punishment enough.

Okay.

Well, Mr. Southgate's convinced me
to give you another chance,

but it's your last chance, son.
Do you understand?

Yes, Sergeant.

Well, Mr. Southgate
is gonna keep a close eye on you.

You keep your nose clean,
or you'll be back here so fast

your head will spin. You get it?

-Yeah.
-Now, get out of here.

And one more thing...

Was there anyone else in the car
with you last night?

No.

Thanks for sticking up for me
like that, sir.

Just don't disappoint me.

When you need a lift home,
take a bus, all right?

Yep.

And remember when I get you on that oval,
I'm gonna work you into the ground.

I don't want any word
of complaint, understood?

-Yes, sir.
-Okay.

Time to face the music
with the old man.

Linda.

We're in alone.

So?

I've got salt everywhere.

You're still beautiful.

I think I'll take a shower.

Haven't you got salt on you too?

We'll be home about one.
-That's okay. We trust you.

Have a great time.

So, what do you wanna do?

Do you wanna get a video?

No. That's too boring.

Let's do something interesting.

Like what?

Well, we could start by going upstairs.

And what for?

What do you think you're doing?

A bit of this.

Marco...

do you think I'm naive?

You're refreshingly innocent.

That's something that you try
and pervert every time we're alone.

-Well, what can I say? Men are animals.
-No, not all men are like you.

Okay.

So what brought this on?

Well, it's just what I told you
about before.

You know, this whole thing
with Southgate and the police.

Look, you can't be blamed
for taking the police at their word.

It's not your fault. You were with him
when the police spoke to him.

No, I should never have let the police
take him out of my classroom

in the first place.

Christina, what's the point
in whipping yourself about it?

I suppose you're right.

I'm definitely right.

Okay?
-Yes.

Got a towel for me?

Sure.

Did you come prepared?

Condoms.

Yeah.

I'm gonna call the police.

Irini, don't be silly.
Listen, what are you gonna say?

He's 18 years old
and he's a few hours late.

-He's very late.
-He's all right.

-I'm telling you, he's all right.
-How do you know?

Look, I just do, I know it.
He's thoughtless,

but he's all right.
He's out with the boy. That's all.

He could be dead
in the gutter somewhere.

He'll wish he was
when I've finished with him.

Good!
-Listen. Look, stop worrying about it.

How can I not worry?
I'm his mother.

I'm gonna call Helen
and see if he's there.

-What's wrong, Daddy?
-Nothing, darling.

-Go back to bed, okay?
-Helen?

-Who's Mommy talking to?
-Nobody, darling.

Auntie Helen.
Now, you go back to bed.

Mom will be in in a minute
and she'll tuck you in.

-Is Nick in trouble?
-Bed now.

Don't make me angry.

Come on, come on.

He's not there. Con's there.

He's been there for hours.
He's in bed asleep.

You said he was out with his friends.

-So, where is he?
-Come on, Irini.

-He's all right. I promise--
-How do you know?

I promise you he's all right!

It's really nice, just the two of us.

Is this your guitar or your sister's?

No, it's mine.

You didn't tell me you knew
how to play guitar.

You didn't ask.

Can you play something for me?

Yeah, all right.

d Lying next to you d

d Like a child born into this world d

d And I'm shaking d

d Every moment here is like heaven
You feel it too d

d My heart's breaking over you d

d On a weary lake
Don't hesitate, my love d

d Falling d

d I'm lost in time but just in time for d

d You d

That's really beautiful.

That's all I've written so far.

Was that about me?

Thanks.

So, you can really sing?

What's that supposed to mean?

Not that I don't like your rap,
you know, but?

You can actually sing and play music.

It's good.

Don't you think rap's music?

That's not what I mean.

If you can do both,
you know, why don't you?

It'd be like me playing soccer...

and using only one leg.

Yeah.

I guess you're right.

What time is it?

Why?

My parents are gonna spew.

Why would they spew?

Look what time it is.

I didn't tell them
I wasn't coming home.

Well, that was great.

I've gotta go, all right?

I can't stay.

See you later.

Love you.

Yeah. Bye.

All right, Nick?
-What?

We were worried sick, Nicky.

I stayed at Con's, all right?
We were studying.

You see, Irini?
He was at Con's, studying.

Good.

I know I should have called you,
Mom, but?

we just got into studying so much
by the time I realized how late it was,

I didn't wanna wake you up.

You see, Irini?

See, I told you not to worry.
He was thinking about us.

I was with Jodie.
-Jodie?

My girlfriend.

Girlfriend?

Look, I'm sorry for worrying you,
Mom, all right?

-Next time, I promise I'll call.
-Next time?

What do you mean next time? Nick!

There's not gonna be a next time.

No way.?Niko!

Nick.

Kids?

All right.

Rivers, you moron.

What do you want?

I want you, mate.

You're not my type.

-What happened to your eye?
-Fell over. What's your excuse?

I'll give you a matching one, mate,
if I find out you dobbed on Chaka.

You're full of it.

I will, mate. I mean it.

Never dobbed on anyone in my life.

How could you let her in
a bloody stolen car?

I didn't know it was stolen.
What's it to you?

Just stay away from her
in the future, all right?

She doesn't need troubles like you.

Have the hots for her, have we?

She's a nice kid, all right?

-Dream on, Bordino.
-You could have killed her, mate.

I don't think
even you're that stupid, Bordino.

-You've been warned, mate.
-Run along.

You don't know how much, mate.

You can't treat him like a child anymore.

He's not a child, he's a young man.

Listen, a man understands
he has responsibilities.

A man respects his parents.

He doesn't stay out half the night
without any thought of others.

Well, Nick's growing up.
We're gonna lose him soon enough.

Nick.

Please, come out here.

-Shouting at him isn't gonna work.
-I'm not shouting.

What's going on?

Nick's in trouble, isn't he??I knew it.
So, what did he do?

Will you go back to your room?

-It's none of your business.
-It's not fair.

Nobody ever tells me anything
around here.

I'm sick of being treated like a kid.

Is it possible girls
could be worse than boys?

Go and do your hair.

Mom.
-Effie, go and do your hair.

Go.

Your father's angry
because you hurt his feelings.

You can't know what it's like
until you've had a child of your own.

To think that something's
happened to them.

-It won't happen again.
-Good.

I just wanna know
why we haven?t met this girl yet.

We've only been going out
for a short time.

And you jump into her bed
together, I mean?

Hey, we love each other.

Okay? She's smart,
she's beautiful,?she's a nice person.

So bring her home for dinner.

Yeah.

Okay.

Eat your breakfast.
You're gonna be late for school.

What?
-He's manly.

I don't get it.

Don't worry, you will one day.

Speak of the devil.

I know.

Newlyweds.

Haven't you got enough yet?

So how did it go with your olds?

Well, it was pretty heavy
for a while but it's okay now.

They say they wanna meet you.

Great.

So can you come for dinner tonight?

-Yeah. Sure.
-Cool

-What will I wear?
-Just be yourself. You look great.

Come on, guys.
There's a time and a place.

What's the problem, miss?

Does it get you all
hot and bothered?

No. It's common courtesy, Con.

What is?

Did you enjoy yourself
last night, Nick?

Yeah, I did.
-Good.

Because you're gonna be on
detention all week.

What for?

If you think that you can miss
one of my punishments

and get away with it,
you've got another think coming.

This sucks.

And if you miss one
of those detentions,

it's gonna be two weeks.

It's like Southgate in drag?

I heard that, Con.

Hey, Chaka,

I sorted out Rivers for you.

What did he say?

He won't be telling the cops,
that's for sure.

Thanks, Con.

It's not a problem, you know.

I told him to stay clear of you.

What's going on between you two?

-Something I oughta know about?
-She's just a friend, man.

She's just a friend.

Sure.

Just shut up and do your?

-Where's Peter Rivers?
-He's here, miss. I?saw him this morning.

Where?
-He was outside...

Fixing Mr. Southgate's car.

Maybe he's hot-wiring it, miss.

-Hello, darling. What can I do for you?
-What happened to your eye?

I ran into something.

-What?
-A left jab.

Who did it to you?
-Look, leave me alone, will you?

I wanna get this done before
the end of the day.

You shouldn't even be under here,
you should be in my English class.

I wanted to do something for sir

'cause he was such a good bloke
and helped me out.

Then I dropped Shakespeare
in particular?because it was so boring.

What are you gonna do? Call the cops?

That's not fair, Peter.
I did try to help you.

Yeah, yeah.
Whatever. Sir did help.

Look, I'm the only person
who can give you permission

to miss one of my classes, okay?

So, I expect to see you there tomorrow.

Hey, miss.

No worries.

Do you know a student is ditching
all of his classes to service your car?

No, but hum a few bars,
I'll try and pick up the tune.

-What?
-Joke, Joyce.

Right. So you do know.

Frankly, he's getting more
valuable experience?out of fixing my car

than doing a double period of thee-ing
and thou-ing in your class.

So you're setting
the syllabus now, are you?

Three hours of auto mechanics,

three hours of industrial arts,
and then turn their brains to mush

with a couple of hours of thugby practice.
Would that be right?

They could do worse,

Rivers included.

I was gonna mention it to you.
I'm sorry it just slipped my mind.

So how did he get the black eye?

A family conference.

I don't believe?
You actually think it's funny, don't you?

That a child is being physically abused
by his father.

Why do you assume it was his father?

His mother can whack
a pretty good wallop too.

I don't believe you.

Get your head out of the clouds,
Christina.

Rivers is one step away
from ending up in the clink,

but with a bit of help,
he can hang in there

and get an apprenticeship in the army.

That's all he's interested in,
not Romeo and Juliet.

I gave him a bit of a hand with the cops,
and now he's showing his appreciation.

I'm not gonna knock that back

just because he's missing out
on a lesson about some wanker

that's been dead for 400 years.

All right.

But in the future, you can consult me
before giving someone permission

to miss one of my classes.

Yes, ma'am.

-Chaka.
-I don't wanna talk to you.

-Chaka.
-I don't wanna talk to you.

Okay then, just listen. I'm really sorry
about what happened the other night.

So am I.

And I didn't know
the car was nicked until Davo told us.

I'd never do anything to hurt you.
I think you're great, really.

What--

What happened with the police?

Don't sweat it.
They don't know you're involved.

Davo won't say anything either.

What happened to your eye?

An argument with the old man.

-He hit you?
-Yeah.

I hit him back,
scared the hell out of him.

Okay.
It scared the hell out of me too.

I wanna make it up to you somehow
after all the trouble I've caused.

-You don't have to.
-I want to.

Maybe we can go out sometime.
I don't mean just pool. Out.

I don't know.

Wouldn't wanna be seen
with a loser like me?

-I don't think you're a loser.
-So you'd go out with me?

Sometime, maybe.

Cool.

All right.?All right!

Purring like a kitten. Well done, Rivers.

Your carbie was filthy.
Your points needed cleaning.

Thank you.

No. Thank you.

Yeah.

But if I hear you've been sprung
in another stolen car,

-I'll have your guts for garters.
-Nah. It won't happen again, I swear.

Good. It's a good way to end up dead.

When I was about your age,

a good mate of mine took me
for a joyride one night

and we spun out of control

and slammed straight into a tree.

Whoo. Heavy.

Yes, it was.

-Now go home, Rivers.
-All right.

And I wanna see you on the oval
at 6:30 tomorrow morning.

You're doing an extra half?hour a day's
lap work every day this week.

Okay. See you then.

Hey, miss.

Rivers.

You're giving your slave
the night off, are you?

Yeah. He's gonna need his rest.
He's restumping my house tomorrow.

Well, it doesn't seem to have
done him any harm.

At least with me,
he knows where he stands.

Certainty in an uncertain world.

You'll see I'm right
if you stick around long enough.

Look, what time are you coming tonight?

I don't know.
What time do you want me there?

What time can you?

Why don't you call me?
-Don't leave me.

All right.

Come on. Don't leave me.

I've gotta go.

-All right. I'll see you tonight, 7:30.
-Okay.

-Okay?
-I love you.

-I love you too.
-Okay.

See you.

Sorry, miss.

This really sucks, miss.

Well, if you'd attended yesterday,
it wouldn't have been necessary.

Yeah, miss, you just don't know
what it's like to be in love.

Come on.
Nick, I'm engaged, remember?

I mean, really in love.

Like you're in pain
until you see her face.

Like? you don't remember your life
before you knew her.

Yes, I do remember what it's like, Nick.

But after you've been going out
with somebody for a while, it changes.

It's not so overwhelming.

Yeah, well,
I'm sick of being treated like a kid.

-My oldies carry on as if I'm still 10.
-Look, try it when you're 22, Nick.

If you wanna be treated like an adult,
you've actually got to act responsibly.

So how do you get around your parents?

Look,
we're not gonna get into this, Nick.

You've already wasted five minutes
of detention.

You've only got forty minutes left,
so get to work.

Niko.

Come over.

What?

What's up?

Your mother thinks I should have
a bit of a chat with you.

What about?

Look, I'm sorry about this morning,
okay?

I was cranky, I was tired.

No.

You don't have to explain.
I was out of line--

No, no. I was? I was out of line. Okay.

You're not a little kid anymore.

But parents,

they see the little boy in their son
no matter how old you are.

You remember the first time
you got around me

and you scored a goal,
what you said to me?

Suffer.

Suffer, Dad. Yeah.

I still think of that
every time you smile.

You were six. Six!

I mean, you grew up so fast.

Your mother and I,
we love you and you know that

and we want you to be happy.

I am happy with Jodie.

Good. Good.

I'm looking forward to meeting her.

She's gonna come over for dinner tonight.

Good. That's great.

-I gotta go and tell Mom.
-No, no.

There's one other thing I wanna ask you.

Do you? Are you? being careful?

You know what I mean?

Relax. All right?

We get heaps of sex education
at school.

Matter of fact,
if there's anything you need to know,

just come and ask me, all right?

I'll be inside.

Getting anywhere with that cork?

Nothing will stop me getting this out

because if you finish that,
I'll initiate you

into the nuances
of South Australian wines.

I'm gonna convert you.

All right. We'll try.

Let's see how it is.
-Okay. Um...

Maureen, you'll finish that
before I put some of this.

Yes.

Okay. Beautiful.

Thank you. Christina.
-Yes.

All right.
Franco, your verdict.

Really?

Not bad. Not bad at all.

There's actually?

I'd like to say something.

I'm moving out with a woman
called Yola. I work with her,

and she's got a spare room in a flat
and it's closer to--

Why? I don't understand.

-What have we done?
-It's nothing that you've done.

It-- It's just something
that I feel I need to do.

I-- I think I need to grow up a bit.

But you have grown up.

Why do you have to move out?

Please try to understand.

I won't be far away

and I promise
that we'll see each other all the time.

What do you think, Marco?

Christina is your daughter, Franco.

I think she knows what she's doing.

Well, this is always your home.

The door will always be open for you.

Thank you.

I think that deserves a toast, don't you?

-Salut?
-Salut?

Salut?

When's she gonna get here, Nick?

Any minute now.

-You've said that 100 times.
-Yeah.

Yeah, well, you've asked me
about 100 times, all right?

It smells beautiful, Mom.

I hope it doesn't dry out.

-Where is she?
-Look, I don't know.

Okay. Why don't you go
and do something to pass time.

-What?
-Anything. Just go.

d Ooh, I'm groovin' d

d Yeah, we're flyin' d

d With this train of thought d

d I know, you know... d

Hi, Mrs. Poulos.

d I know, you knowd

d Train of thought d

d Ooh, Ooh,
Ooh, Ooh d

d Train of thought d

d Ooh, Ooh,
Ooh, Ooh d

I'm starting to worry, Mom.
She should have rung by now.

It's okay. She's only an hour late.

No need to rub it in.

Look here. Come on. Bedtime.

Aw. you said
I could meet Nick's girlfriend.

It's too late.

Come on. Bed.
-Can't she stay up a little?

Come on. No. It's too late.

She's here.
-Okay.

Five minutes then bed.
-All right.

Hi, just me.

-Where have you been?
-I had a bit of trouble and I got lost.

It's all right. Come in.

Mom, Dad, Effie.?This is Jodie.

-Hello.
-Hi, Mr. and Mrs. Poulos.

-Sorry I'm so late.
-That's okay. It's fine.

They're beautiful. Thank you.

-What about me?
-Effie.

The red ones were all gone.

Thank you.

Thanks.
-Sit down.

-I hope I haven't ruined dinner.
-No. Not at all.

-Sit down.
-Don't worry. We'll work it out.

Maybe you'd like to ask Jodie
if she'd like a drink.

Would you like something to drink?

Iced water would be great.

I like your hair?

She's beautiful.
She's really beautiful.

Hey, I told you so, didn't I?

-Good.
-What?

No. That's really good.

You have inherited my taste in women.
