Packed to the Rafters (2008–2013): Season 5, Episode 18 - That Heady Rush - full transcript

The world might be
falling apart,

but you know what?

I couldn't care less.

Because nothing beats
that rush you get

when you first start
seeing someone.

- Hey, you.
-Hey, you.

Why aren't you
having lunch with me?

Ha! You miss me.

Maybe depends
where you snuck off to.

Oh, you'll find out
soon enough.

And this rush
or whatever it is,



nothing can spoil it.

Oh, no!

-What?
- Not again!

This bloody mongrel.

Oi, I've got to go.

All right, bye.

You've just got
to enjoy the rush

while it lasts.

You are such a dork.

Yeah, total.
That's why you like me.

-Is that right?
-Yeah, you're a dork tragic.

Ha, you're very lucky
that I missed you.

Missed you more.

I wouldn't be so sure
about that.

Lunchtime's over.

-Back to work.
-So? They already know.

Yeah, I know and I kind of
wish they didn't.

-What are you ashamed of me?
-No, I just...

What is between you and me
is private.

Look, I'm not gonna pretend
that this, us isn't happening.

I'm not asking you to.

I'm just saying,
don't be so obvious about it.

Do you want me to...

you want me to get that
for you or...

You spilt something.

Don't even.

Oh, have a look at that smirk.

-What have you two been up to?
-As if we don't know.

Do you want me
to draw you a picture?

-Coby, chill.
-What, they started it?

Ooh, look out,
the missus is getting heated.

Okay, you lot, let's get
some work done around here.

Coby whereabouts
are the lights?

Lights?

Garden lights
we need for the job

this afternoon.

The ones you were gonna
pick up at lunchtime.

Oh, yeah,
no, I'm on top of it, Dave.

It's right...
It's on the top of me list.

Hey, mate, look,
I'm happy for you,

I really am, but don't let it
affect your work.

-Of course not, Dave.
-All right?

- Whoop!

Coby, lights! Lights.

Do you want me
to draw you a picture, mate?

Yeah, I'll be back
before you know it.

Messy business
this puppy training.

Have you tried rubbing
his nose in it?

I'll rub your nose in it
if you--

Hey, jokes over, Matt.
Give it a rest.

I'm sorry about this.

I promise from now on,
it's just business as usual.

Yep.

How can I run a business
with half my staff

making goo-goo eyes
and the other half

sending them up gutless?

Coby and Frankie?

Young love
and small business don't mix.

I knew something
like this'd happen.

-So it's on?
-Yeah.

How's Coby handling it?

-Cloud nine.
-Oh, good for him.

That's great.

Young love.

I vaguely remember
what that was like.

The obsessing, the excitement.

The going out
to get garden lights

-and coming back empty-handed.
-Yeah.

And waiting
for the phone to ring

and being blissfully happy
when it did.

-Blissfully, eh?
-Yeah, all floaty and happy.

She carried on like a banshee
whenever I tried to answer it.

- Ah!
- "No, I'll get it.

It could be him!"

Oh, Dad, I was not that bad.

-Oh, you were worse.
-Yeah.

I must have been irresistible.

Yeah, all right, okay.
Well, that's enough,

this columns
not gonna write itself

and Donna's dropping
round later.

- Knock, knock.
- Hm.

-Later. You said later.
-I couldn't wait.

He called.

-Who?
-He said he would,

but you know what men
are like.

They'll say anything.
But he did.

Can you believe it?

Well, I might
if I knew who he was.

-Duncan of course.
-Oh.

The "oh, so" handsome man

from the
Bring a Single Mingle.

Dave, you remember Duncan,
don't you?

Grey hair, perfect teeth.
The most gorgeous man there.

No, I only had eyes
for Jules and her teeth.

He was just so sweet
on the phone.

-Such a gentleman.
-Oh, you're smitten.

Look at you,
you're all happy and floaty.

I can't help it.
He seems perfect.

Well, maybe he is.

I was thinking of asking him
around for dinner.

What do you think?

I don't wanna rush things
too much

so I don't wanna
scare him off.

But I don't wanna play it
too cool either.

Well, right now I don't think
being too cool's in danger.

If you like him
and he's a gentleman

then how can it go wrong?

You always know what to say.

Oh, I wish.

Caught up in the rush,

you can forget
even the most basic rules.

Like boundaries for instance.

Good color coding, babe.

Well, you have to be organized
for the bank.

Now, you sure we thought
of everything?

Mmm-hmm. References,
education certificates.

Business plan.
One and five year projections.

And my ideas board.

- Ooh.
- Ooh.

Evidence of a market,
financial records

-for the existing florist.
-And new socks.

-Whoa! Bright new socks.
-Impressive, huh?

Mate, these little fellas
scream confidence.

They certainly scream
all right.

Yeah, trust me,
they open doors.

Well, I think they're cute.

The bank's gonna have
to give us the money now.

Hey, done deal, babe.

In an hour, Toula's flower
shop's gonna be ours.

Then we can
transform it into our own

outdoor urban spaces business.

It's really hard to say.

We really need to think
of a name.

-Plenty of time for that.
-Yeah,

-we can brainstorm in the car.
- Let's go.

Ah, I take it
you've come up with an idea.

Ah, yeah, well, it's not
my usual sort of material.

But I can hardly ignore
the passion in the air.

Frankie and Coby,
Donna and Duncan.

And his irresistible teeth.

Yeah,

it's about
the first flush of love

and that wonderful
romantic rush

that just takes you over.

Not that I'm ever gonna
feel it again.

-Well, thanks a lot.
-No, no.

-Well, you know what I mean.
-Well, at least we have.

-Not everyone does.
-No, I know.

I'm not complaining.

Well, okay,
maybe I am just a bit.

Do you remember
when we first met?

Oh, how could I forget?

It was the first time
the Swans played at the SCG.

Maybe I should wear
red and white more often.

Well, if you do,
there'll be consequences.

I thought
you were so handsome.

I couldn't take
my eyes off you.

'Cause I
couldn't stop looking at you.

Yeah,
waste of a ticket really,

we didn't see much
of the match.

Well, I remember everything
about it.

We sat on the hill,

when you could still sit
on the hill

and the Swans played
North Melbourne.

No, no,
they were playing Richmond

-and we sat in the stands.
-No, no,

You're thinking
of a different match.

No, I don't think so, darling.

Talking about the day
we met.

-Yeah.
-Yeah.

And it almost didn't happen,
I mean, I only went

'cause Karen fancied
someone.

Yeah, yeah.

I was trying to convert
some rugby mates, but--

Yeah, I kept looking at you
and you kept looking at me.

And I thought someone's
gonna have to make a move,

so I asked you
to sit with us--

No, no, no, no, no, no.

No, no, I asked you.

-No, no, not true.
-Yeah, I did.

-No, you didn't!
-Yeah, and I can prove it.

I can... I can call up
my rugby mates.

Shall I just
ring Karen?

All right, go on then.

Well, there's not gonna be
much point.

They're not gonna remember.

Yeah, I guess not.

So not only are we never gonna
experience young love again,

we can't even remember it
in the first place.

Yeah.

It was the socks.

Hey,
it wasn't the socks.

You saw his face.
He spilt coffee on his crutch.

You probably shouldn't have
tried to wipe it off, though.

I had to do something,
he was in pain.

This is all my fault.

Hey, can someone let me out.

And, Carbo,
it wasn't the socks.

The bank liked us.

They were impressed
with our business plan.

Our outdoor
urban space's idea was clever.

Not clever enough
to hand over any dough.

That's only because
we haven't got enough capital.

-We need more.
-No money, bad socks,

what a killer combination.

Oh, it's such a good
little business, too.

And if we don't grab it,
someone else will.

Oh, God,
why did I quit my job?

Oh, it's okay, babe.

You know, whoever buys it off
Toula might keep me on.

I'm a legend
with baby's breath.

Yeah, well, we need to get
the cash somehow.

I suppose
we could talk to my parents.

And I guess
I could speak to my mom.

Or maybe we could just buy
a lottery ticket.

I'm guessing they're from you?

You like them?

Yeah, don't get me wrong,
Cobes

-they're lovely, I--
-It's the dog poo, isn't it?

I tramped it
through here and...

-No, it's not.
-Yeah, I'm such a knob.

I should have taken
my shoes off.

-How did you get in?
-Oh, it was too easy. Um...

You broke into my house?

Yeah, well, I wanted
to do something romantic

to surprise you,
and you're not happy.

Are there any other
romantic surprises

-that I should know about?
-What? No.

Did you have
a good look around

-while you were in--
-No! Never.

I left the flowers
and then I got out of here.

Oh, you're angry,
I'm sorry, I didn't realize.

I swear,
I thought you'd be pleased,

it'll never happen again.
I swear.

I'm an idiot!
A complete dickhead!

-I'll get rid of them.
-Coby.

No, I'll...
Oh, I'm...

-No, it's okay.
-No, I'm... Here, I've got it.

Don't. Don't.

I've got it. It's cool.

Stop! Stop.

You're not angry at me or...

No, I'm not.

I'm glad you're here.

You can help me
with something.

Yeah, just a bit,
well, a bit to the left.

Ah, back, yeah, ah, perfect.

Looks like it was meant
to be there.

They say, fools rush in.

Then call me a fool

because I wouldn't miss
that rush for anything.

Oh, we were both wrong.

The Swans
were playing Melbourne.

- Really?
-I just found my old diary.

Oh.

I was so sure I'd asked you
to sit with us.

I knew it was me.

No, no, it was Karen,
my friend, look.

No way.

Hmm, well, that's weird,
I'm sure I asked you.

Well, yeah.
Yeah, I know,

I thought I remembered it
as clear as day.

Yeah, well,
knowing how you women work

you probably put her up to it.

I was beside myself,
I would have come up

with some lame excuse
to come over.

-Oh, you were such a show-off.
-Me?

Yeah, look,
at the end of the game

when the Swans kicked
footballs into the crowd

and you fought off two guys
to get one to impress me.

I'd forgotten about that.
Did it work?

Well, I'm still here,
it must have.

Then it was worth the elbow
to the groin then.

Yeah.
You dropped me home,

we couldn't bear
to say goodnight

so we sat in the car talking
'till 4:00 in the morning.

Yeah, and then Ted
went off his brain

-when you finally went inside.
-Yeah.

What a day.

Wouldn't it be wonderful
to feel that way again?

Yeah. Although all except
the Ted bit of course.

I don't know.

I think that'd be
pretty wonderful too.

You're pretty wonderful.

Yep, that rush of blood

can keep you awake at nights.

Sometimes
for all the wrong reasons.

Retta, are you asleep?

With both of us unemployed?

Baby,
it might not come to that.

I know, I know.

I keep telling myself you're
a legend with baby's breath.

Will you get mega angry if...

if I don't ask my parents?

Even though
they're so far away

they'll just take over.

It'll be called "Rita's'
in no time"

and they'll make us sell
statues with no heads

and ugly little cherub things
that pee when you clap

and garden gnomes
that hold Greek flags and--

Hey, hey,
if that's how you feel,

of course I won't be angry
if you don't call them.

In fact I'll be mega angry
if you do.

We'll get there.

Somehow.

What are you doing?

Oh, I wasn't snooping.
I was thirsty.

What,
so you found a tap in my book

and poured yourself a glass?

No, it wasn't like that.

I just... I was

coming back to bed,
I just saw your book

and I know how mad you are
about boats.

So I had a look
and the photo just fell out,

and I was just
putting it back.

What, after you had
a good look?

-What's that? No, just--
-For this to be able to work,

I need to be able
to trust you.

You can, I swear.
Hey, look, I'll prove it.

-I'll tell you everything.
-What?

Even the things
I'm most ashamed of.

-Coby I--
-Please, just sit with me.

Please?

So Dave gave you a job

and then you ripped him off?

Yeah, but it, you know,
it wasn't me.

Well, it was me but it, yeah,
it doesn't feel like me,

you know, I'm a different
person, you know.

Grandad, um, Tom,

he ran out of tea one day
and he told me

to go buy some more
and I was just a kid

and I said,
"I didn't have any money."

And he just laughed and said,

"Well, I didn't tell you
to pay for it."

I guess I just got used
to not paying for stuff

and doing what he told me.

But I swear that's...
It's all in the past

and that's a lot to do
with Dave.

I know I'm onto a good thing
with him,

and, you know, with you.

And I'm not gonna do anything
to wreck it.

And if you don't wanna know me
after this,

I don't blame you.

But like you said,

you've got to be able
to trust me and yeah,

I'm not gonna lie to you.

I want you to know everything
there is to know about me.

Come here.

-I'm glad you told me.
-Really?

Yeah.

You know you can talk
to me too.

Don't get too excited,
there's not much to tell.

Oh, come on,
it doesn't matter what.

You're me favorite topic.

This bloke here,
that's your dad?

-He looks nice.
-Yeah, he was.

We haven't finished
with you yet.

I have just spilled my guts
all the way

across your lounge room and...

Oh.

Oh.

Glad you could make it
before lunch.

I know
I said business as usual.

I just have this
dodgy alarm clock--

It's not Frankie's fault.
It's my bad.

I saw a picture
of Frankie's dad and--

-Coby.
---that got us talking

-about me as a kid.
-Confess?

Yeah.
It was really pathetic.

I was like yabber,
yabber, yabber

-and I wouldn't shut--
-Yeah. Well, like now.

And then Frankie
fell asleep on the couch.

So it's not her fault,
it's my mess-up.

I don't care
whose fault it is.

I've got a stock-take to do.

And you're last in.

Hope you haven't
got any plans,

-have you?
-No.

-Not anymore.
-All right. Away you go.

Coby.

Mom!

Mom!

- Hello.
-Dirty dishes.

Standards have slipped
since I moved out.

You're here early.
Um, is anything wrong?

No, I just thought
you might like a lift to work.

Well, to be honest
there's, um...

I wanna discuss a business
opportunity with you.

Now?

I thought it'd be better
if we were alone.

Well, actually
I was gonna go to work later.

So why don't we talk at work?

If I didn't know any better

I'd think you were trying
to get rid of me.

Huh?
Don't be silly.

It's just a bit,
um, inconvenient.

Good morning.
You must be Emma.

-I'm Duncan.
-Right.

-Good to meet you.
-Pleasure to meet you.

Duncan!

Not a good time.
Ah, understatement.

That could have gone better.

-Hey, how's your mom?
- Ah, excellent.

Really well.
Yeah, couldn't be better.

So what did she reckon
about the new business?

We didn't exactly go there.

-She had company.
-Company?

He was wearing
her dressing gown.

Whoa!

And it wasn't quite
long enough

so when he turned around
and bent over--

-You saw his tackle.
-I saw nothing.

I remember nothing.

I've wiped the entire incident
from my mind.

You poor thing.

I wasn't so long ago
you were hoping

your parents
would get back together.

Don't have to worry
about that.

I'm sorry.

So we didn't exactly
get around

to discussing the flower shop.

Um, would have been
a bit of stretch.

And under the circumstances

it's not gonna happen
any time soon.

It's okay.

Carbo doesn't feel right about
it.

So where do we go from here?

We need some advice.

Morning.

Oh, morning, Retta.
How are you?

Oh, I'm a little bit worried
actually.

Oh.

Yeah.

Is it...
Can I talk to you?

Ah, yeah, if you're quick.

I've got to get Ruby
to daycare

and got a column due.

Yeah.
Oh, this won't take long.

Well, not if I leave out bits,

but if it gets confusing
just say, okay?

Okay.

So Toula wants to sell
the flower shop

and we wanna buy it,
so we gave her

all of our savings
to buy the Goodwill

only now we don't have
any capital

because I left my job

and Carbo wore
his bright new socks,

but the bank manger spilt
coffee all in his crutch.

If Toula sells,
Carbo will be too.

-What?
-Out of work.

Which wouldn't matter if
we could talk to his parents,

which we can't
because then we'll get stuck

with all those ugly
little cherub things

when you clap.

And Emma tried talking
to her mom this morning,

but she can't now,
really can't blame her

'cause it must have been
so embarrassing.

Sorry, sorry
just seeing that guy

and his
in her mom's dressing gown.

-Oh, ah, guy? What guy?
-No, no, no.

Sorry. You're running late.
You're running late.

Ah, no, no really I--

I've got to get
to the shops now.

So, hey thanks for listening.

Good chat.

Okay, I want details.
Lots of details.

Purely for research
for my column, of course.

So I take it dinner
went rather well?

He was such a gentleman.

-Oh!
-So kind and thoughtful.

-So polite in the lounge room.
-Uh-huh.

-And not in the bedroom.
-Oh!

Okay.

So how does it feel
at the beginning of a--

You can never tell, can you?

-From the way a man looks.
-I guess not.

It's like Clark Kent
and Superman.

One minute the mild
mannered property developer,

-and the next, woof!
-Oh! Whoa!

I just felt so different.

So liberated,
that's the word, liberated.

Whoa, liberated.

He must have been
quite something.

He was.

I feel as if I can finally
move on from Mark.

Oh.
Well, that's wonderful.

-I'm really happy for you.
-Yes.

So what do you think caused
this first rush of--

It was during dessert.

He took
a mouthful of mousse

and suddenly he got this
wicked look in his eye,

like a cheeky kitten
with a ball of wool.

Yep, the rush is only fun

for those actually riding
the wave.

...yes towards me.

So how's my housemate
getting on these days,

since I don't see him
much anymore.

Yeah, good.

What until he starts talking?

Yeah.
He can be a bit full on.

I just never realized
he was that deep.

Deep? Coby?

Are we talking
about the same guy?

Well, it can't have been easy
for him growing up like that.

But I mean, you know,
about that.

Hey, don't look at me.

You're practically family?

Well, he's told me
a bit but...

I don't think he speaks
to anyone much.

-Till now.

Oi.
Don't hold back on my account.

No, let's just
get this job finished first.

Oh, looks like you created
a monster.

That's no offense.

Coby, he's a good man.

-I'm happy for you both.

Maybe handling the rush

is just a matter
of practice.

You know,
if you can tame the rush

then maybe there's hope.

Well, you'd think
after all that

I'd have been exhausted.

Exhausted.

I would have put in
for long service leave.

But I just felt so guilty
about all those dirty dishes

in the sink that in the middle
of the night

-I got--
-Oh, you didn't?

I was just gonna give them
a quick rinse

and pop them
in the dishwasher.

Oh, you are hopeless.
You really are.

Thought he was asleep,
must have heard me

'cause he crept in
to the kitchen

-and sprung me at the sink.
-Oh, you know what?

I think I've got enough
material, I might just--

Who knew that he had
this thing about aprons?

-Thing?
-They get him all excited.

-Oh.
-Frilly ones mostly.

You know, oh!
Look at the time.

And he crept up
behind me and--

No. Ah, that's plenty.

Thanks for sharing
but I've got enough research.

Actually probably
more than enough.

I should get on
with the column.

-I almost forgot--
-Next time, please?

Can we just leave it
'till next time?

I told you that Duncan

was a property developer.

Turns out
he's a very successful one

and I told him
all about Dave.

He's expecting
a call from Dave,

and this is his card.

Oh.

Yeah. Thanks, Duncan.
I appreciate it.

I look forward
to seeing you soon.

Okay. Thank you.

Well, that sounded positive.

Yeah, he sounds
like a nice guy.

Yeah, so I hear.
Mild mannered, thoughtful.

So polite in the lounge room.

Right. Well, he wants
to meet me in half an hour.

Yeah. Well, you better
get work out of this.

You have no idea
what it cost me.

Oh, and whatever you do,
don't wear an apron.

-What?
-Yeah, frilly is out,

trust me.

Okay, guys, change of plan.

We're gonna have a chat
with a property developer

on our way to our next job.
You good to go?

-Yeah sure.
- Yeah.

And I want you
on your best behavior.

-What, so no rugby songs?
-No pole dancing?

I'm serious.
This could mean a lot of work,

which means a lot of overtime.

-Yes, we love that word.
-What about me?

Ah, well, you can get started
on the stocktake.

But I thought Frankie
was gonna do it with me.

Or the TAFE assignment
or whatever.

You'll work something out.
Come on.

-Hey, did you get my texts?
-Yeah.

Then why didn't you
message back?

I was on a job.

Oh, now, come on
don't be like that.

I've got to go.

I'll see you.

I see you're an equal
opportunity employer.

Yeah, Dave's good like that.
He employees blokes as well.

Yeah. They're a good team.
Get on well.

Always ready for a joke.

It sounds like you have
a lot of fun together.

Oh, that's what
it's all about, isn't it?

I've got a feeling
this is gonna be a good fit.

Yeah. Well, the job seems
pretty straight forward.

Yeah. It should take you
about four weeks.

I reckon we can handle that.

And if it goes well,
who knows?

I can provide you
with references.

No need.
I rang around before I came.

I hope you liked
what you heard.

I wouldn't be here
if I didn't.

-Neither would I.
-Excellent.

I like electricians
who know their stuff

and, um, don't charge
like wounded bulls.

Yeah. Well,
I don't undercharge either.

It doesn't mean
I won't try and beat you down.

It doesn't mean I'll let you.

I think we've got a deal.

We should seal it
over a drink sometime.

I'd like that but I've got
another meeting now.

Oh, well, how about you,
um, you come around

-to our place tonight?
-Um, the broker knows the way.

-You can both come maybe.
-I'd love to.

So can I, um,
get you anything

from our list of food
that we um, sell.

-Menu?
-That's the one.

Ah, no,
we're done thanks. Yeah.

-Oh, that was quick.
-No mucking around.

When you see what you want,
jump on top.

On board.
On board.

I'll just, um...

Well, this could be the break
we've been waiting for.

-Oh, good old Donna, eh?
-Yeah.

Sounds like
she's not complaining.

Ah, yeah.
No, not the word I'd use.

And if the deal
goes as well,

we could
be in the clear.

Oh, great.

Okay.

Well, this column is about
as good as it'll ever get.

Give us a look.

Yeah.
No, no, no, no, no.

No more sneak previews.

There sent.

You'll just have to read it in
the paper.

What's the point of
an inside contact

if she won't talk?

None whatsoever.
Okay.

Dad, could you, ah, just play
with Ruby for a second?

I think we can manage that.

I'm just gonna duck next door
and see Retta.

-Can't we, Ruby?

And this is how
we thought we'd expand

the business
into outdoor urban spaces.

Like this balcony
and then this,

-and then like this courtyard.
-No, it... It's great.

-I love it.
-Really?

Yeah. No, honestly.
I'm really impressed.

So what's it gonna be called?

Ah, well,
that's a work in progress.

-Yeah.
-Oh, well, it'll come.

So from what you're telling me
all you really need now

-is some capital?
-Yeah.

Yep. That's all.
Nothing important.

Well, I...
I'd love to help out

-but financially--
-Oh, no.

Oh, no, no, no, no, no.
I hope you didn't think...

Oh, no!
God, no, that's awful.

No, we'd never dream
of asking you for the money.

Yeah, not even if you had it.

We're not even asking
our parents.

-Really?
-Yeah.

I told you that earlier.

Oh, yeah, right.

Yeah. We did think about it
but no, not the way to go.

Yeah. Well, if you can manage
it,

probably better
on your own

six feet anyway.

You've got everything
on your side.

You've got youth, enthusiasm.

You don't think we just jumped
into this

without thinking it through?

I know you'll find
the money somehow.

It's meant so much to me
just you coming around.

Oh, that's sweet.
I didn't do anything.

Oh, but you did.

It's times like this
when I really miss my parents.

Just to have someone
to talk to

when things go wrong
or I'm a bit stuck.

Oh!

Oh, I feel for them.
I really do.

-Who?
-The guys next door?

Why's that?

Have you been reading
my article?

-No, I was just--
-What?

Just checking some figures.

Oh, you can read it tomorrow,
just like everyone else.

Yeah.
Well, I was just...

-Anyway, moving on.
-Hm.

Why do you feel for them?

Oh, they're just so young,
full of hopes and dreams.

I hope it works out.

Well, like you said
they're young.

And if it doesn't
they'll bounce back.

-Do something else.
-Yeah.

Whereas we're just
running out of time.

Are you sure writing
this column's good for you?

Yeah, course, I love it.
Why?

Well, you're just coming
across all--

-What?
-You know, reflective and--

Well, that's
the whole point darling.

That's what writers do,
we reflect.

Huh, and I'm just a sparkie,
what would I know?

Oh.

You know, Jules,
you're never too old

for hopes and dreams.

Hey, stocktake's
almost done, boss.

-Excellent.
- How'd you go?

Yeah, good. Looks like we got
the contract.

Oh, that's great.

-Awesome in fact.
-Yeah. Sorry about before.

It's just the way things
worked out.

Oh, that's all right, Dave.

I mean,
stock can't take itself.

Hey, chuck us your keys
and I'll lock the vans.

-So you and Frankie, eh?
-Yeah. How lucky am I?

I still can't quite
believe it.

Yeah, I'm happy for you, mate.
But, ah--

That little scrunchy thing
she does with her nose.

Gets me every time.
Sorry, what were you saying?

Ah, look, you must be,
um, walking on air.

But could you just keep it
separate from work?

-Yeah?
-Yep sure. I will. Yep. Good.

Ah, yep. So we need
more batten holders.

Noted.

Ah, Duncan's coming around
for a drink,

-join us later, eh?
-Sure.

-Hello, you.
-Hey, you.

Give us a kiss
before Jake gets back.

No, no. I've got to do
this work, eh?

Are you choosing
batten holders over me?

No, it's just there's work
and then there's us.

Separate.

And right now
since we're in the shed

I'm guessing work. Right?

Whoa, nice wheels.

-Is that him?
-Yep.

Hey, Duncan.
Glad you could make it.

-The pleasure's all mine.
-Maybe not entirely yours.

You seem to be
in a good mood, Donna.

I always enjoy
introducing friends.

Hey, Coby,
come and meet our new client.

Now, Duncan, this is Coby
our apprentice.

Delighted, Coby.

Smart move teaming up
with this lot.

Yeah.

You gonna join us
for a drink?

I can't.
Got things to do.

That's bad luck.

Well, come and I'll show you
the operation anyway.

I might just pop next door
and see Emma.

Things to do?

Yeah, it's true.
All right, not so much.

But if I come
it's only to hang with you

and we don't need to
spend every second together.

Oh, come on, stay for a drink.

Oh, I can't now.
I've already said I was busy.

Well, you can always
change your mind.

I'm sure Dave'd appreciate it.

I might too.

No, I'll swing by later.

You know what these are?

They're keys,
they open doors.

You can let yourself
in if you like.

I know it must have
been a bit of a shock for you

-this morning.
-Yes,

all those dirty dishes
piled up in the sink.

What did you
wanna talk to me about?

It doesn't matter. Yeah.
I've got it under control.

Are you sure?
I'd like to help.

Is there anything I can do?

Thanks but no. It's sorted.

Why don't you come
next door for a drink?

I'm sure Julie won't mind.

I'd like you
to meet Duncan properly.

You mean
not in your dressing gown?

I will, Mom.
Just not tonight.

Look, I'm tired and I've got
an assignment to finish.

Okay then.
Can I get you a beer?

Thanks.

So, what do you think?

It's a very impressive
little operation.

Just the sort of business
I like to deal with.

Okay. Help yourself
to nibbles everyone.

- There you go.
-Cheers.

I can feel a toast coming on.

Oh, here's someone
I want you to meet.

Ted this is Duncan.

-Delighted, Ted.
-Same to you, Duncan.

-I've heard a bit about you.
-Oh, Ted, don't embarrass me.

-Never, Donna. Never.
-And why be embarrassed.

No reason.
No reason at all.

Okay, everyone.

-Here we go.
-Well, ah,

cheers.

- Cheers.
-Short and sweet.

- Oh!
-Oh, sorry, Frankie.

-Didn't mean to startle you.
-No, that's all right.

I got them.

Beers, I figured they sent you
out for supplies?

Oh, no, no. I just wanted
to have another look

over Dave's setup, that's all.

Fair enough.

No need to rush off.

I better get these back.

Seems like a good chance
to get to know one another.

Oh, come on, you don't want
Donna wondering where you are.

Or Dave.

You never know
when he might come looking.

Especially
since I've got his beers.

Yeah.

Still friends?

-Enjoying yourself?
-Well, that depends.

-Are you?
-Very much so.

-They're lovely people.
-I know.

And was Ted behaving himself?

Ted's being
a perfect gentleman.

Just like you.

You took your time.

A bloke could die of thirst.

-Are you okay?
-Yeah.

You just look a bit pale.

No, no, no. I'm fine.

I just think
I've got an empty stomach.

I just need to eat something.

Well, you make sure you do.

Yes, Mom.

Any ideas?

-I wanna say yes, but--
-Me neither.

And, you know,
it's all very well standing

on our own six feet,
but we keep coming back

to the same old problem.

No capital.

Hey, honey,
I didn't hear you drive in.

Oh, you know me.
I'm full of surprises.

-Oh, and garlic.
-Yeah. Sorry.

Stopped to get
a kebab to celebrate.

Celebrate what?

Oh, nothing.

Just our entire
future success.

Honey, have you been sniffing
the poppies again?

No.

Oops.

I wonder what that is?

Could you get that
for me, babe?

-It's a cheque.
-Really?

-For $30,000.
-What?

-But--
- But nothing.

Business partners
say hello to your capital.

-Where did you get it?
-I sold the Charger.

But you love that car.

Hey, I've said goodbye
to it once before.

No biggie.

Oh, Carbo.

All for one and one for all,
like the mouseketeers.

-Musketeers.
-Whatever.

It's the future that counts.

-What have you been doing?
-Hey, I...

Nothing I was
just checking it out.

No, I told you
not to touch my stuff.

Don't you listen
to a word that I say?

Frankie, it's okay.
Nothing's--

-No, don't. Don't!
-Hey.

-No, don't touch me.
-What's wrong?

-Frankie please?

Hey.

He was the best thing
in my life and now he's gone.

I just can't believe
that I'm never gonna be able

to talk to him again.

He was my absolute hero

and I was just
as important to him.

I know it. I know it.

I mean, my sisters
are such girly girls

and I was...

I was like a son
that he never had.

You're the first person I've
let in here since he died.

Oh, you know, I had no idea.

I would never have
gone near it.

Yeah, I know.
I'm sorry about that.

I guess I was just
a bit rattled

by something
that Duncan said and did.

What do you mean?

-It doesn't matter.
-What?

Honestly, it's nothing.

I'm probably just being
a drama queen.

What did he do?

-Coby, please.
-What did he do?

Nothing.

I just...
I went into the shed

to get some beer
and Duncan followed me in

and shut the door
and made some stupid pass.

He what?

Honestly, nothing happened.
I handled it.

-Did he touch you?
-No.

Cause if anyone touches you,
if anyone lays a finger on--

Coby. He didn't.

And you can't tell anyone.

You're gonna let him
get away with it?

I'm not gonna be responsible
for messing up Dave's new job.

-With that creep?
-I handled it. I told you.

All right?
He's not gonna be a problem.

Can you promise me
you're not gonna say anything?

Can I trust you?

Hey, I paused it.
You're missing the best bit

they're about to nuke
the asteroid.

Coming.
Just making your favorite.

Ooh, hot chocolate
with marshmallows?

Ah, yeah, of course.

-Oh.
-Oh, that's okay you have it.

-No, you have it.
-No, no, no, it's fine.

-Have it.
-Carbo, it's your favorite

and besides it's just not the
same without the marshmallow.

Anyway after what
you did today,

-it's the least I can do.
-So, does this mean

I'm gonna get
special treatment tonight?

You might be.

Hmm, I should make
sacrifices more often.

Babe, what you did today
was amazing.

Yeah. We're all gonna have
to make sacrifices

along the way.
I was just the first.

It'll be worth it in the end.

Drink your chocolate.

Now that's what I call
a successful day.

Donna scores a bloke
and we score a contract.

Oh, Dave, you were supposed
to read that in the paper.

I couldn't wait
'till tomorrow.

-I might have known.
-Did you have to reveal

all this stuff?
I only called you

-by the wrong name once.
-Oh, yes.

Well, it was
in the timing darling.

-It could have been better.
-Oh, what?

You can't write that.

You make me sound
like the most boring man

-in the universe.
-Just read to the end.

Ohh.

Yeah, ohh.

Ohh, is that
what you really think?

Well, it's in the paper,
isn't it?

It must be true.

♪ Oh,
It's been a long time ♪

Yes, the heady highs
of that initial rush faded,

but the intensity laid
the foundation

for what was to come after.

Thirty years
of intimacy and commitment.

-Ohhh!
-Oi, shut up Boots.

-Keep going.
-That rush was magic,

but I've discovered
there is a deep richness

to love that only time
can bring

and I wouldn't swap it
for all the world.

Look, out here
comes thirty years

of intimacy and commitment.

-I gather you've read it.
-It's lovely, Julie.

Thank you.
It's how I feel.

Okay. The column is discussed.

Now it's off limits.
Never to be mentioned again.

-Ohh!
- Pity you couldn't stay

for drinks, mate.
It was a good night.

You'll enjoy getting
to know Duncan,

-he's a good bloke.
- Next time.
