Packed to the Rafters (2008–2013): Season 5, Episode 19 - Got What It Takes - full transcript

It might sound tough,

but in life there are
two kinds of people,

those who've got
what it takes

and those who don't.

And that can even apply
to fishing.

I never really caught
a real fish before.

Not never?
Not even a nibble?

A few little ones
but nothing too big.

It looks like things
are changing though, eh?

If you stick with me, mate,

then you'll be hauling them
home by the truckload.



Yeah, Jules will love that.
Here, I'll take those.

Are you kidding me?

Women go crazy about
the hunter gatherer types.

Dave, relax.

The guys'll be doing
just fine.

Oh, I said I'd only be
a few hours.

Well, you forgot to tell them
about our long lunch...

-to celebrate your catch.

Look, if there are no perks
to being the boss,

what'd be the point?

Yeah. Well, if you put it
that way.

Come on, Tarzan.
Let's show Jane

what you brought home
for dinner.

♪ It slips away
So fast tonight... ♪



Thing is,
what kind of person am I?

Do I have what it takes
to balance work and play,

-to be the boss?
- The best thing is

it's like we've known
each other for years.

-He just gets me.
-Look at you, you're glowing.

-Is that a bad thing?
-Oh, are you kidding?

How often do we get to feel
that teenager in love tingle?

Well, in my case,
not for a long time.

So there you go.
Enjoy it.

How can I not enjoy it?

-Isn't he just gorgeous?
-Who's gorgeous?

Ah, Ruby,
aren't you, darling?

So how'd you go?
Catch anything?

-Not today.
-Ah, pity.

I thought you could show Dave
how it's done.

No, Duncan didn't catch
anything. I did.

Yeah, darling, I told you
before I can't cook

seaweed and old bike tires.

What about this fella?

So that's where you were.

You ducked around
to the fish markets?

Jules,
give me a break.

-I caught it.
-Fair and square.

Oh, well, in that case,
congratulations.

-Thank you.
-And now we're going to join

you girls
for a cleansing ale.

Oh, lucky us.

Absolutely.
I'll grab a round.

- Yup, be great.
-I'll help you.

Darling, seriously,
congratulations

but get back to work.

Oh, I'll pop in later,
check how they're going.

-Not like you to sneak off.
-Well, if there weren't

any perks to being a boss,
what'd be the point, eh?

Plus keeping tight with
a client can't hurt, can it?

Meanwhile, who's going
to deal with that?

What do you mean?
I'll do it.

If you've got what it takes,
you back yourself.

-Silly Daddy.
- All the way.

I'm not gutting it
if that's what he thinks.

Oh, hey!
Check you out.

The bank manager's
gonna love you.

Oh, he doesn't have
to love us,

he just has to give us
the money.

-Not too try hard?
-No, perfect.

-All of you.
-Really? I feel sick.

Because if he doesn't
give us this loan...

I would have sold the thing
I love most in this world

for nothing.

Well, the car that I love
most in this world.

You're still
number one overall.

Well, he wanted collateral
and he's got it.

-So if you want it enough ...
-We do.

Well, then the money's
in the bank.

Here's hoping.

-Good luck.
-Righto.

See that?
That is fish for dinner

and Mommy's not gutting it.

Come on, let's get you out.

-Hey.
-Oh, g'day, boss.

- How'd the meeting go?
-Yeah, good, good. Productive.

Well, the answer to your next
question is "this big."

What kind of meeting was this?

Meeting? We were fishing

and Dave landed a big one.

Yeah. Look, enough chit chat.

-How'd things go here?
-Slacko.

Is that where you went?
Fishing?

And you caught a fish?
A real live fish?

Well, it's not alive anymore.

-Show the man some respect.

I've got to talk
to the chippies.

Right for dinner tomorrow?

-Yeah, for sure.
-Yeah, good on you.

So when do we get taken
on a boozy fishing trip?

-Who said it was boozy?
-Oh, yeah, right,

went on
the first sober

fishing expedition.
Is that it?

Done with the third degree?

Can I get on with my day now?

Don't let us stop you, mate.

Better late than never.

-How's it going?
-Yeah, good. I've done

all the switches
for the wall lights.

All right.
Well, that's great.

But Duncan specified
the dimmer switch here.

Remember?
You have to change it.

-Yup. All right.
-Yeah. Good on you.

Yeah.

What would Duncan know?
He's not a sparkie.

He's just a money man
with a wanker's car.

This is true.

I thought we had
an agreement.

Yeah. Yeah.

Seriously, this is
a big job for Dave.

Yeah. I got it.
I'm going to fix this switch.

Dave caught a fish, huh?

Yeah. He was
pretty happy about it.

I'm not.

About my behavior towards you
the other night...

Forget it.

Look, it's not good enough.

The truth is I had a few
in the arvo,

I had a few at Dave's.

It's not an excuse,
but I'm really sorry.

It's not like me. I won't...
It won't happen again.

Really, it's fine.

Are you always this forgiving?

There was nothing to forgive.
Relax.

You're off the hook.

-And what did sleazebag want?
-What?

He can't take no
for an answer?

No. Coby, you...
You've got it wrong.

I mean, he said he was sorry.

I said no worries
And that was it.

You're gonna have to let
this one go

because you carrying on
about it, it's...

-it's going to do my head in.
-Okay, I'll stop as of now

'cause you are so, so wise
and so, so beautiful.

You are so, so full of it.

Oh, rightio, you two.

So here's the plan.

You've both been hiding out
together for way too long

so it's been decided you're
coming for cards tonight.

-Who's cooking?
-Not me.

It's starting to sound good.
Keep talking.

I don't know.
I'm kind of tired.

Yeah, we all know what from.

It's no excuse.

Come on. You'll be in that.

It'll be good for us
to have a night out.

Because you are so, so wise

and so, so beautiful.

Dave, don't worry about it.

The guys know
how hard you work.

When was the last time
you gave yourself

-a morning off?
-Yeah, not to go fishing.

I thought you were staying
tight with the client,

-securing more work?
-Oh, well that too.

Yeah, well, stop beating
yourself up then.

Not that I didn't enjoy it.
Duncan's a good bloke.

-Oh, damn it.
-What's the matter?

Oh his USB stick.
He might need the specs.

-What, today?
-I don't know. I'll text him.

If he needs it,
he'll let me know.

Dave really caught this?

I heard that and, yes, I did.

So did Duncan saying anything
about Donna?

-Was he supposed to?
-Well, I just wondered.

You know what Donna's like.
She's thrown herself

into the relationship.
I just hope he feels

the same way.

Well, I think
he's pretty keen.

We didn't really talk
about relationships.

We were too busy talking
about fish.

Ah, yes, fish.
On the subject of which ...

Yep. Happening now, Jules.

-Need a hand?
-No, thanks. I'm all over it.

I might just...
Yeah, wash my hands first.

No idea, right?

None at all.

Yeah, once you gut
and debone a fish,

it doesn't really amount
to much does it?

Well, sorry, I'll try
and land a bigger one

-next time.
-Oh, no, no, darling,

your catch was
very impressive.

Yeah, thanks.
Thanks for pitching in, Ted.

-You know you didn't have to.
-I'm happy to help, mate.

Now I might just get rid
of these fish gizzards

unless you want to use them
for something?

Oh, no, no,
we're right, thanks.

Yeah. Leave it all
to you, hey?

Yeah. Well, you know how Ted
likes to feel useful.

Oh, that's very
thoughtful of you.

Oh! Hey.

-How'd you go?
-Don't ask.

It wasn't really good
because he gave us the money!

-Hey!

I knew it. Congratulations.

-Yeah, yeah.
-Thank you.

Good on you.

-Thanks.
-He was a cool guy.

Yeah, totally got how we want
to stick with flowers

until we transition into
the balcony design thing.

Yeah, keep that money
flowing in.

Sounds like a plan.

But not for too long.
Cannot do flowers forever.

So keep next month free

-for the big launch.
-What, all of it?

Actually, if it takes
a little longer...

You're absolutely right.

Maybe need to keep the whole
of the next month free too.

Safe side, block out
the next three months.

-We'll let you know.
-Okay.

I can't believe we got
the money.

-I know.
-Actually, um,

how would you like
to earn some more?

Ooh! You want us
to landscape your garden?

No, babysit. Tomorrow night.

Oh, tomorrow night.
I'm so sorry we can't.

We've just got so much to do
with getting the business

up and running. Can you...
Can you get somebody else?

Yeah, no, I'm sure we can.

No problem.
There's always a plan B.

No, not for us.
If we didn't get the money...

-But we did.
-We did.

-We did.
-We did! We did.

-I got the money.
-No, I got it.

No, no, I sold the car.

It'll mean I'll have
to cut back my shifts here.

Are you sure you're okay
with that?

Are you going
to finish your course?

Yeah, definitely.

It'll be a plus
for the business.

And can you handle the loan?

Yes. We've done the sums.

Well, then I couldn't be
happier for you,

or more proud.

Isn't timing the most
peculiar thing?

In what way?

Well, here we are,
both of us,

spreading our wings
at the same time.

Both excited
about the possibilities.

Have you got something
to tell me?

Oh, don't be silly.

But it is going very well.

Well, good.
You deserve it.

I don't know about deserve
but certainly want.

I've lived through the BD era
and I'm sick of it.

-BD?
-Before Duncan.

Now I'm into AD.
After Duncan.

I think those
initials are already taken.

Oh, well, then DD.
During Duncan.

All right. All done.
The keys are on the hook.

Great. Thanks, mate.
How'd you go?

Yeah, good. I, uh...

I changed that dimmer
like you said.

Finished nearly
all the dimmers actually.

-Good work.
-Yeah. Still heaps to go.

Yeah. Well, don't knock it.
All money in the bank.

Thanks to Duncan, eh?

Yeah.

So I guess for tea, you'll be
having that fish you caught?

Yeah, it's in the fridge.
Ted's going to make a curry.

- Ah.
-Grab yourself a beer

-if you want, mate.
-Oh, no, that's all right.

I'm heading out tonight.

Oh, yeah. You and Frankie?

-Yeah.
- Somewhere special?

Oh, well, when I say
heading out, I mean...

staying in, at my joint.

-Oh, right. Have a good one.
-Yeah.

Don't do anything
I wouldn't do, eh?

No.

Hey, hey, Coby,

we're all cool
with that Frankie stuff?

-Yeah, of course.
-Nah, 'cause it's just great

to see you and her
getting on So well.

I'm happy for you mate, truly.

-You finished?
-Yeah, yeah, of course.

It's good to talk.
We never really get a chance.

Yeah. Well, I've got a life
to lead so...

Yeah, yeah, go.
Have a good one.

Thank you.

Wow. Our shop.

Ours.
Isn't that a beautiful word?

Welcome to Sunny and Share.

Hold on. Didn't we decide
we were going to call it

"Balc-honey"?

-Um, no.
-Yeah, we did, remember?

"Add a little sweetness
to your balcony."

The ads practically
write themselves.

No, no, but Sunny and Share
is clever, like us.

No, it isn't.
It doesn't even make sense.

Sunny as in Sonny
and Share as in Cher

and also sunny as in sun
and share as in, well, share.

No, Carbo, it's gibberish.

What?
Well and Balc-honey isn't?

-It's genius.
-Are you kidding me?

Guys, guys,
the name doesn't matter.

It kind of does.

Well, not at this second.

What's important right now

is the place is ours.

Ours.

-Shall we christen it?
-Mm.

Honey, I was kind of thinking
more like champagne.

-Yeah. Cheapskate.
- Sorry, babe.

-No.
-Oh, yeah!

Those who've got
what it takes

rise to the challenge.

Those who don't

chicken out
at the very last second.

Oi! I'm kind of tired.

I might give it a miss.

I might just go back to your
place and have a lie down.

Yeah, or you could tell me
what's really going on.

Maybe it's something I ate.

Mm. Try again.

Look, I just... I haven't
been here very much

since we got together
and it's just... It's weird

playing cards with the guys.

Which is why you've done it
a hundred times before.

Yeah, but not with you there.

Okay, so we pretend like
we've never met

because that would be
the mature thing to do?

I didn't say that.

Coby, I love these guys,
but let's face it

-they can be idiots and ...

I'm your girlfriend
and I'm...

-Not an idiot.
-Thank you very much.

So whose opinion
do you value more?

-Yours.
-That's the one.

So basically harden up Coby?

-Yeah. Pretty much.
- You're right.

Just in case
I lose my nerve later.

Ah.

Look the guys are probably
bored with razzing you by now.

Well, well,
if it isn't Frankoby.

Lame but coming from you,

-I'll make allowances.
-Oh, no, there's plenty more

where that came from.
There's Froby or Cofra.

-Cokie?
-Oi, shut up.

Cranky seems
to suit you best.

Funny when you can tell
when someone's

-not getting any.
-Oh, please,

I'm beating them off.

You're certainly beating
something off.

Well, a pesky little habit
young Cobes

no longer needs
to trouble himself with.

-Well, whatever.
- Oh, Coby, come on.

-Stay and fight.
-No, I can't.

I've got washing to do.
I've run out of everything.

- Whatever.
-Enough already.

-Cut the poor guy some slack.
-Oh, you can talk.

You won't even let him
use your washing machine.

Because I don't have one,
and to be honest,

washing clothes is not high
on the list of things we do.

Oh, right, yeah.
I bet I know what is.

Oh, you couldn't remember
that far back.

Hey, try yesterday.

-Who's dealing?
- I'm dealer.

The game is five cards done.

- Hey.
-There you go.

I hope you haven't stolen
any state secrets.

I tried but I couldn't
open the file.

Just as well.
Would you hold this for me

and don't let me lose it.

Dave, Arna. Arna's my PA.

I'm dropping her home.

And don't tell her
how lovely she looks

or she'll be expecting me
to do it all the time.

-Arna, nice to meet you.
-You too.

I wish I could say
the same thing about this one.

Now, listen,
I've got to get going,

but I'll see you
tomorrow night?

Sure thing, yeah.
See you.

Weird in what way?

Oh, she was just a bit
familiar with him,

-I guess.
-Oh.

I probably shouldn't have
said anything.

Well, so she just picked
some hair off his jacket,

-that's it?
-Yeah. It's not like

they were holding hands
or anything.

Yep. Well, I suppose
if something was going on

-behind Donna's back ...
-Jules, I didn't say that.

Well, no, no, he'd be
hiding her, not flaunting her.

Look, look, it really was
harmless, you know.

PAs and bosses
work closely together.

-Yeah.
-I just... I just read

-too much into it.
-Well, now you...

It's catching
though because now

Wondering what
I should tell Donna.

Nothing. Nothing.
We don't say anything.

I saw one tiny thing
and I blew it

out of proportion.
Just forget it.

Plus, Duncan's a good guy
to work with

and I want to keep
that separate.

Mm. No, I actually know
what this is about.

You're just jealous
because your PA's not young.

No. Well, she's pretty,
efficient, useful...

Mm. I suppose
you want a cuppa?

Yeah. That'd be great.

Mm. Make me one
while you're at it.

Professional and personal

can be a tricky mix.

Striking the right balance,

not everyone's got
what it takes.

You have one hell
of a poker face, Coby.

-What?
- Come on, mate.

-Put them down.
-But unless you can beat

-oh, a flush...
- Oh...

Then you're finished.

All right.
You cleaned me out.

-So what? I don't care.
-Yeah.

-This is, I...
- Mate, what gives?

It normally takes us
at least an hour

to clean you out.

Is something
distracting you?

Ooh, me next, Frankie.

You won, I lost.
No hard feelings.

-Can we go for a drink now?
-What, like that?

Oh, come on at least let me
lend you a pair of socks?

Can we go now?

No.

You're not even wearing socks.

No, I would've changed,
but my clothes

-are all wet.
-It's not raining.

-In the washing machine.
-It's a true story.

If it helps,
we'll stand in front.

Yeah. And we'll spend
a lot of money, Donna.

Yeah, just this once.

That is a lovely color
on you, Donna.

Isn't it... What's the...
Is it olive?

All right. But that's
the last time. Is that clear?

Yup. I'll even wear undies
next time.

Oh, he...

Thanks, Donna.

Thank you.

Hey, mate,
your friend over there,

-is she single?
-Oh, no, mate, she's with me.

No, seriously.

Don't say anything.

Well, you're punching above
your weight there.

Oh, mate. You are...

not worth it.

What was going on over there?

Oh, just standard
dickhead stuff.

It's all right.
It's handled.

-Cheers.
-Yeah.

I might be a slow learner,
but I get there in the end.

Well, I might know
how to catch them, Ted,

but you sure know
how to cook them.

Without even looking
at a recipe.

Some things you don't forget.

Well, I'm glad because
it was delicious.

I just wish
there was more of it.

- Mm.

As a main, it made
a good entree.

Don't take this
the wrong way, Ted,

but I might need
some more to eat.

Well, you'll have to wait
while I cook something.

- What about fruit?
-Fruit?

Ah, well, if you're
that hungry, here's a thought.

Donna wants us to go
and meet her and Duncan

-for a drink at the Boat Club.
-What, twice in one day?

Mm. I think she likes
the idea of double dating.

-Oh.
-It'll be weekend breaks

in Byron next.

Look, if you're worried
about Ruby,

Helen from Friend Finders
is dropping over in a minute.

-I'm sure we'd manage.
-Great. What do you reckon?

Yeah, as long as I get some
chips to go with my fish.

Better late than never,
eh, mate?

-Yeah.
-I'll let her know.

Hey, girls,
I'll do that, it's my turn.

No, it's all right.
We'll do it.

All right.

I actually can't believe
how tired I am.

-Me too.
-Yeah. I might go to bed

-in a minute.
-What, now?

We've got
to be up so early

-for the flower markets.
-Yeah. Plus we'll have

all that planning
for the upgrade after work.

Yeah. It's the start
of our new life.

Our new business,
a whole new routine.

Yeah, yeah, I'm not going
to bed yet.

It's not even 8:30.

I mean, who knew
there was this many

different kinds
of garden pots?

Carbo, we're just excited,
that's all.

That's okay.
So you go to bed

and I'll come up
when I'm ready.

No, because then
you'll wake me up

and I won't be able
to go back to sleep.

Uh, uh, uh!
Girls, you have to learn

-how to pace yourselves.
-Yeah.

I've been doing this
for years.

Right. Pace ourselves.

Yeah, yeah, look, look,
if you go to bed too early,

-you wake up too early.
-Yup.

And if you wake up too early,
you can't get back to sleep.

And if you can't get back
to sleep ...

-Goodnight, honey.
-Hey!

I can't see my ice cream.

Yeah, you know,
I do feed him occasionally.

Same again?

I'm not making a habit
of this, I swear.

No, really it's cool.

Are you guys planning
to come to work tomorrow

with a hangover?

No, no not at all actually.

Well, that's a shame
because I am.

I was hoping
for some company.

-Well, if you're lucky,

I'll bring you
a bacon and egg roll.

Does that look a little
intimate to you?

-Oh, Donna, please.
-Well, she's got history,

-you have to admit.
-Don't go there.

It's absolutely fine.
Just relax.

What'd he want this time?

Seriously, it was just
a hi and bye, Coby.

My shout, guys.
Who's ready?

Hello there.

We've got to stop meeting
like this.

Baby, if I could rearrange
the alphabet,

I'd put you and I together.

-Shakespeare, right?
-Huh?

-No, I didn't think so.
-Oh, come on.

I'm here,
I'm available ...

Yeah, well what a surprise
that is.

Look, I might take a pass

but that's just
personal opinion.

Feel free to try
the rest of the room.

-Piss off.

No, it's cool, Coby.
Under control.

-Yeah.
-Yeah, take it easy, mate.

-I'm not your mate!
- Oi.

- Calm down.
-That's enough.

You, out of this bar
right now.

What are you picking
on me for?

-Because you started it.
-Are you serious?

Frankly, I don't care
who started it.

-I'm sending you all out.
- What's going on here?

Bag my clothes
and then you're

-kicking me out.
-Just cool off mate.

Ah! Pff, whatever.

Are you blokes
hard of hearing? Out.

And take separate exits
please.

Seriously, it wasn't
Coby's fault.

These guys were being idiots.

Well, that may be
but I'm not having

that kind of behavior
in this club.

The show's over, folks.

Look, I know Cobes.
Let's just finish our drinks

and give him a bit of time
to calm down.

Let's not leave it too long.

Some big nights
at the back of the pack,

that you don't expect
to see down there...

Oh, oh, oh, here he is.

And for your next trick ...

Why didn't you answer
your phone?

We were looking
everywhere for you.

I'm sorry. Okay?

Yeah.
Well, it would be okay

if you just lightened up
a bit.

Oh, he was cracking onto her.
What do you want me to do?

-Coby. Calm down.
-Ah! Forget it.

We still had
a lovely night.

Apart from
the bar room brawl.

Don't worry.

I worry when one
of my guys gets evicted.

It's just high spirits.

Are we still on
for tomorrow night?

-Ah, well...
-Yeah, well, we're having

difficulty finding
a babysitter.

-Mm.
-Oh.

Well, unless you and Duncan

would like to come to dinner
at our place?

Well, if you don't mind?

Aren't you sick to death
of the sight of us?

-Not at all.
-We'd love to.

-That's settled.
-Okay.

Well, I can guess
who did this.

Coby can be an idiot
and I'm pissed off with him,

but he doesn't go around
letting tires down.

Yeah. He got pretty
worked up defending Frankie.

He's in love, Jules.
He's not a vandal.

Yeah. And no one could
ever accuse Donna

of not making a mountain
out of a molehill.

I tell you she thought
Frankie

was flirting with Duncan?

What? Rubbish.
I don't believe it.

-No. Neither do I.
-Oh, one issue at a time.

First off, I've got to speak
to Coby about keeping a lid

on that temper of his.

He can't keep
blowing up like that,

especially not in front
of clients.

Hey.

I thought you'd gone.

You've really got to stop
trying to protect me.

Those guys were
hassling you, Frank.

Nothing was going to happen.

I mean, what,
except one of them

would've fallen over,
passed out,

spewed on the footpath?
Really not a problem.

One of them was practically
jumping your bones.

He wasn't, Coby,

and I would've yelled
for help if I'd needed it.

But you never do.

You've got to let
the small stuff go.

It makes life easier.

I love you, Frank.

I only did it
'cause I love you.

You know that, right?

Yeah, I do.

-Carbo, wake up!

-That was the alarm.
-Turn it off!

-It's the alarm!
-I know it's the alarm.

Turn it off!

Oh, I tried to tell you

there is a system.

-Oh there, there is?
- Yes.

The alarm goes

and then you hit
the snooze button.

You do that three times,
okay?

And you get up
and you get dressed

and then you go to the market

and only when you get
to the shop,

you get a cup of coffee.

You don't want
to peak too early.

You do exactly that
every time?

-You don't know that?
-Yeah. I'm a heavy sleeper.

But how come you're awake now?

I'm excited.

But how come...

Anyway, the system works okay?

You have to stick
to the system

because if you don't stick
to the system--

- Knock knock.
- Morning!

Coffee all around.

-Is he all right?
- Yeah he's fine.

It's just his stupid system.

Coffee. I need more coffee.

I told you. Peaked too early.

Those markets were insane.

All those people pushing
and shoving.

And at 4:00 in the morning.

Next time follow
the system

because we've got to get
match fit girls.

Oh, Carbo the cash register's
not working.

-Ah.
-Because when you're match fit

you don't go buying flowers
like these.

But they're beautiful.

Okay, you see the heads?

They'll be full blown
in a couple of hours

and nobody will want them.

-I will.
-There's no use in that.

We've already blown the money
and the whole point

of keeping
the flower shop going

is to give us the cash flow
for the urban garden idea.

-Sorry, Carbo.
-Yeah, sorry, honey.

You're right.
We are going to toughen up

and become the best florists
ever... Ow.

That's okay.
It was just the cactuses.

It's cacti!

I missed you this morning.

Yeah, I ducked home
to get changed.

Right.

So check it out.

The new me.
What do you reckon?

-Um ...
-You see the old me said,

and did some really stupid
stuff last night,

most of which I can't remember
but the new me you know,

he's a pretty cool guy.
He never gets aggro,

he never gets hassled by stuff
that doesn't really matter.

He's really, really sorry

and here's the clincher,

it'll never happen again.

Coby, can I have a word
with you please?

Um, yeah about last night,
It wasn't my finest hour

but if you want to be angry
at me, join the club.

You know Donna's
on the war path too?

What, about the fight?

No, about her tires.

-Any idea who let them down?
-What? No way.

I mean, she's not my favorite
person but I'm not that low.

Okay. Hey, whether
you did it or not ...

-I didn't!
-Okay, okay,

but I'll leave that
between you and her

but what I want to say,

is that temper of yours

is a shocker, mate.

And if you're not careful
it's going to get you

into real trouble one day.

Oh, we did it.

We got through our first day

and we're still standing.

Although they're not.

Still, it's a lesson

and I've learnt it.

Yeah, and we've been
really busy

which is fantastic.

No, it's been a slow day.

-You're kidding?
-Which, is okay.

It gives time for you girls
to get used to the way

-it all works.
-We can't afford slow days.

We need to be cashed up.

-A thousand bucks.
-A thousand.

-That's all right isn't it?
-Gross. Minus expenses,

probably about a hundred
and fifty bucks.

That's fifty bucks each...

before tax.

Well, that's great though

because now we're really
motivated to go home

and work
on our transition plan.

That's the way and we go hard,

we can knock up the basics
in a few hours.

It sounds good.

I'm up for it

but I might just sit for a bit

and get my second wind.

All right.

I'll just get the LED.

All right.

-Coby?
-Yeah?

Don't take this the wrong way
but it's kind of important

that I ask anyway.

Geez, don't scare me.

If the answer's yes,

it's just between you and me

but with Donna...

What?

Was it you?

I mean, you did leave before us

and you were kind
of worked up.

I just need to know for sure.

Is that what you think of me?

No, no, not at all.

Then why ask, Frank?

Boyfriend of yours is a bit
of a hothead, isn't he?

Sometimes.

Is it worth it?

I mean, he can't be
that good in bed.

Listen between you and me,

older guys are better.

Well, that's enough time
wasting.

I better get on with it.
I'll see you tonight.

Yeah, looking forward to it.

Everything okay?

Yeah. Sure. Why?

Oh, no reason. Just asking.

Actually, no,
I've got to ask this.

Is there something going on
between you and Duncan?

Duncan? No, no never.

Yeah, yeah,
no of course not.

Anyway, it's none
of my business.

Really it's fine.

He's harmless.

I just think he's one
of those guys

who can't help himself.

So he has tried something?

Well, you said yourself
that he can't help himself.

Yeah, well he...he's made
a couple of passes.

What, he tried again
after you said no?

Yeah.

Well, I need to talk to him.

No. No, Dave

what've I said before

about me and my battles,
all right?

I tell him no
and then he gives up.

Well, yeah
until the next time.

When I tell him no again,

look, eventually he's going
to get the message.

Well, why didn't you say
something to me?

Because he's a client and...

I don't know, you're mates.

Seriously Dave,
don't make this bigger

than it actually is,
all right?

So what time
d'you think you'll be back?

Oh, 10:30,
11:00 at the latest.

And will you be at the bridge
club the whole time?

-Mm-hm.
- Sorry, dad.

I don't...I don't mean
to give you the third degree.

I know. You don't want me
going walkabout.

- Have a good time.
-Will do.

Enjoy your dinner.

Night, Dave. Night, Ruby.

♪ He sits next to me ♪

Hey are you all right?

Oh, it's nothing.

- Hi, Donna.
- Oh, hi Ted.

- Duncan.
- G'day mate.

Oh, are you kidding?

I'm going to do
all the touristy things

Statue of Liberty,

Broadway, 5th Avenue.

So long as you leave time
for the most important thing.

-Shopping.

Yes, work harder darling.

I'm planning
on bankrupting us.

-Although the trip

will have to wait
a little bit longer,

at least until Duncan's
project's finished.

In the meanwhile
what about a shorter trip?

We could take the boat
out in the morning,

wet a line?

No, I'm going
to be needed on site.

Now what did I tell you,
the first rule

of being a boss was?

Enjoy yourself.

Yeah, we're a team.

I'm going to be there.

Well, they'll survive
on their own.

I like to support my staff.

I guess it's just a different
management style.

Another time, but don't let
your staff run you ragged.

-Like I did to you right?

Your words, not mine.

And so by the start
of week four...

Retta!

And we should have
the supply list ordered,

the brochure design
finalized and...

and be snuggled up
in bed asleep

under a big woolly blanket.

Okay. I reckon
we've done enough

-for one night.
- But we haven't.

If we don't get moving
on the transition,

we'll be running
a florist's forever.

Okay let's at least decide
on the brochure color.

I can do that.
I'm good at that.

No. It can wait
until tomorrow.

We haven't made
a mistake have we?

Oh, no way. Come on.
The Three Musketeers.

Look, and tomorrow
will be easier.

No markets.
We get to sleep in.

- Really?
-Yeah, until 5:00.

I'm going to bed.

It's making me tired
just thinking about it.

Yeah, me too.

It's all right, honey.

We'll feel better tomorrow.

Of course we will.

I trust you.

You wouldn't have let us
get into this

if you didn't think
it would work.

No, you have to take
at least half

otherwise I'm going to end up
eating it for breakfast

and I refuse to go to New York
looking like an elephant.

I'm not working you
too hard, am I?

No, I'm fine. It must've been

all the mercury
in the fish I caught.

Yeah.

A little bit of mercury
won't kill you,

-well not quickly anyway.
-Yeah.

I thought you two were going
to yack until Christmas.

Oh, stop your whinging.

You two do your fair share
of talking.

You can't win.
Keep your eye on this one.

He's a bit off the boil
tonight.

-See you, mate.
-See you.

I'll walk you out.

- Thanks.
- Good night.

Okay. So what's up
with you and Duncan?

Oh, God what a mess.

Yep.

I mean, Duncan's a bit
out there.

Are you sure Frankie
didn't misread it?

Well Frankie's pretty cluey

and she's not a liar.

No.

Oh, God poor Donna.

What am I meant to say to her
the next time she tells me

how wonderful he is?

Well, Frankie says
she can handle it herself

but I don't know.

You know I don't want to bite
the hand that feeds

but I can't let my staff
be harassed.

So what are you going to do?

I'm going to have
to speak to him.

Coby, you've been
shutting me out all day.

I'm sorry.

Do you want me to leave?

No.

Then talk to me.

You should've believed me
about Donna's tires.

Not given me the third degree.

All I did was ask you
a simple question.

I...

I do believe you.

You're supposed to support me,
not attack me.

-I didn't attack you.
-You did, Frank!

All right. This is pointless.
I'm not staying.

Oi! No hang on wait.
I'm sorry.

I... You're the last person

in the world I want
to fight with.

All I did was ask you
one simple question.

It was a tactical error.
I wasn't accusing you.

And I'm not mad at you.
I just...

It's been a rough
couple of days.

I don't know, I don't know
why I'm losing it

but I don't...I don't mean
anything by it.

Can you, can you stay?

Carbo?

Hey.

Hey what are you doing?

I'm making a cup of coffee.

-Coffee?
- Yeah.

Ha. What about your system?

Um, system? What system?

Your system, alarm goes off,
you press the snooze button,

only have a coffee
once you get--

Get to the shop.
Don't want to peak too early.

- That system.
-Well, some mornings

you just feel
like a cup of coffee.

-Is everything all right?
-Yeah. You want one?

Yeah, sure.
If you're having one.

Okay. Let me just...

Hey, why don't you go on
upstairs and have a shower

-and I'll bring it up to you?
-Okay.

Yeah.

Good luck.

Luck's got nothing
to do with it.

Go get him then?

You know the shame
in all this?

- What?
-Well...

you found yourself
a fishing buddy, you know.

You and Duncan
were becoming mates.

I've got mates, Jules.

There's no rush to sign up
new ones.

It's quality, not quantity.

Yeah. You haven't seen
the cricket guys in a while.

That's 'cause I've got you
lot and the business.

It takes up a little bit
of my time.

Yeah. I'm just feeling
a bit disappointed in general.

-In human nature.
-Yeah, well, don't be.

We're getting ahead,

making a good go of things.

We'll take up fishing
when we're old and wrinkly.

Yeah. You and me on a jetty,

sipping our flask
of hot coffee,

listening to hits of the '80s.

Oh.

Yeah, no, no.

Love you.

Like you very much.

Carbo, you've been quiet
this morning.

Are you okay?

Sorry. Thinking.

I'm trying not to.

No, no, that's it, that's it!

Stop! Stop, stop.

Okay, why are we here?

-To sell flowers.
-And?

To transition into our urban

gardening business bit by bit?

Exactly, and that's where
we're going wrong.

What, the transition?

No, no, no,
the bit by bit bit.

Okay instead we need to do
big picture stuff

and we need to do it
all in one giant hit.

Yeah, we could try and work
longer at night.

No, no, look, look,
what would happen,

we'd need to be fresh,
you know?

And anyway
I like my night time.

I need it.

So, okay this is the deal.

We close the flower shop
forever.

-What, give up?
-No, no, no,

we hit the ground running

and we open the business

we really want to open.

-Bad idea?
-Fantastic idea.

Carbo, honey, I can't believe

you thought that up
all by yourself.

Hey! I'm not just
a pretty face am I?

Sometimes you just have
to believe in yourself

to have the right stuff.

But finding that belief

isn't always easy.

I knew it.
The lure of the sea,

you can't fight it.

Now, somewhere out there

is a fish
with your name on it.

Actually I'm not here to fish.
I'm on my way to work.

There was just something
I wanted to clear up first.

Sounds ominous.

Is there something
I should know

about you and Frankie?

I wish. She's a honey.

So you made
some kind of approach?

Oh, man's only human.

I had a couple of goes
but she passed on the offer.

I know, I know,

it's hard to believe
but there you go.

And what about Donna?

Well, she's gorgeous too.

A lovely woman,
very fond of her.

Let's face it, Dave,
they're all lovely.

I love them all
and occasionally

I get my gift
and one of them loves me back.

Donna is Julie's best
friend and if you're doing

the dirty on her, it's going
to make things very awkward.

Well, no problem.
Frankie said no

so my slate's clean.

I promise I'll do my best

-to keep it like that.
-Good.

And I prefer if you let
my staff just get on

with their work.

What, the work I'm providing?

I've said my piece.

I just hope we can put this
behind us.

Already forgotten.

I've got to grab another load.

Catch you back at work buddy.

Mmm.

You're awake.

Yep.

It's nice having you here.

It makes everything all right.

I really think
we need to talk.

What kind of talk?

Okay, so it's, um,

-it's kind of like this.
-Are you breaking up with me?

-Is that what this is?
-No, not at all, Coby. I...

Something is not working.

Okay, what is this
actually about?

Do you want Duncan?

Is that who you want
to be with?

-Get off it.
-Why? It's not like

you don't like old men,
Frank...

I... Hey, no, wait stop.
I didn't mean it.

-Come back to bed.
-Coby, you are a great guy.

-Frank, don't! Don't do this.
-I can't...I can't handle

-being with someone ...
-Okay all right.

-What do you want me to do?
-I don't know!

All that anger in there,

you need to work out
what's going on.

Okay, all right I will!
Just...

Oi! give me another chance!

Coby, it's not going to work.

Frank! Frank!

What are you doing here?

I want a drink.

Well, you can't have one.

My money's good

and I'm wearing socks. See?

Coby,
do you know what time it is?

A drink is the last thing
you should be having.

What I do
is none of your business.

Who I serve is
and I'm not serving you.

All right.
Well, sell me a slab then.

Do you want me to call
the police?

Because apart
from anything else,

I'm fairly sure it was you

who let my tires
down the other--

I didn't touch your car!

Yeah, but I might do
something to his.

- Don't you dare!
-Oh, you and your dickhead

boyfriend can go to hell!

Why didn't you check
your facts before you go

and accuse someone
of something they didn't do?

-Oi!
-Oh, you want a go?

- Coby!
-You want a go?

No!

No!

Hey, hey, hey, hey!

Hey, come on, come on!
Get up! Get up!

Settle down! Settle down.

What's the matter with you?

♪ ...point A
To point B ♪

♪ There's nowhere on Earth ♪

♪ Left to hide ♪

♪ So I keep
On searching... ♪

Well?

Oh, a few punches connected

but Duncan should be okay.

And Coby?

It's not looking good, Jules.

He's been charged
with aggravated assault.

Oh.

♪ ...to point B ♪

I thought
I had what it takes

to keep my worlds separate

but now they'd crashed
into each other

and changed our lives
forever.
