Packed to the Rafters (2008–2013): Season 5, Episode 8 - Unwritten Rules - full transcript

Every relationship
has its unwritten rules.

And what's okay
for one couple

isn't always for another.

As long as both
parties agree on the rules,

it doesn't matter.

Oh, darling, you put
the chops on before the onions.

-So, you said already.
-What?

Nothing. Oh.

I hope you're not sneezing
on the food.

-Everything okay?

Ah, yep. Just got
the salad dressing to go.



I mean with you and Dave.

Yeah, of course.
Why wouldn't it be?

I've noticed a few niggles
of late, that's all.

Oh, it's just
the usual domestic grind.

Nothing to write home about.
Hey Retta,

is this tofu okay
with the meat?

Oh, yeah.
No, it's how I like it.

Doesn't help
that I've got this flu.

I had the same thing
last week. It's a cold at best.

He makes it sound like
he's got the plague.

Oh, I hope not.

He is doing all the cooking.

Yeah, well what is it
with men and being sick?

It's like they invented it.



Really we're fine.

We're probably just spending
too much time together.

I hardly see her any more
with this new job of hers.

-She seems to love it.
- Yeah.

Making new friends.

Yeah. And a new boss.

Adam.

Not just any old dream.
One of those dreams.

Oh. I can understand.

-Adam's gorgeous.
-Well...

-Lovely hands.
-Ooh, you're observant.

You've only seen him the once.

Anyway it doesn't
mean anything.

-I mean, everyone has them.
-Hands?

Dreams.

-Oh, yeah.
-Yeah.

I mean, even Dave
had one about Adam.

I... really?

Yeah, no, I'm sure
it wasn't quite like mine.

-Probably for the best.

Yeah.

It's pork and fennel.

Why did she get pork
and fennel?

She knows I hate them.
Jules!

There you go. Plain.
I didn't forget.

Thanks very much.

All couples know
the rules.

Would you tell your husband
you had a dream

about another man?

-What are you looking for?
-My antibiotics.

Well, they're over there near
the thing where you left them.

-What thing?
-That thing.

Oh, that's called
a water cooler, Jules.

Well, are they there?

Yes.

You know it's funny,
I just took vitamin C

-and I was fine.
-I didn't ask for them,

the doctor
just gave them to me.

-Quite.
-And it's not the same cold.

-This is man flu.
-Oh, don't start that again.

That is the most ridiculous
myth I've ever heard.

-Jules!
-What?

-What's this?
-What?

-This thing that we're doing.
-What?

I had this odd conversation
with Ted today

-and he asked if we were okay.
-Oh, phff.

But we are, aren't we? Okay.

Yeah, course we are.

Why wouldn't we be?
This is normal.

Yeah.

Gee, I hope they like
this week's effort.

By "they" you mean Adam?

Mm. Well he rewrote bits
of the last one.

-Just press send, Jules.
-Well...

It's either really terrible
or it's just okay.

-I can't tell.
-Jules.

Okay. All right.

There done.

Do you want a lemon
and honey drink?

Oh, you're the best.

Oh, um, by the way,
there's a new movie premiere

at the Midpoint Plaza with
some sort of party afterwards.

-I thought I might go.
-Sounds fun.

-Russell Crowe picking you up?
-Oh, hardly.

No, just some people
from work.

Right.

Adam?

Yeah, probably.

Sounds great.
When is it?

Ah, Saturday.

-This Saturday?
-Mm-hmm.

I've got the trade seminar
in the Blue Mountains

-with Jake and Frankie.
-Oh, is that this weekend?

Yeah, I booked
the tickets ages ago.

Yeah, yeah.

Well, you know it's funny
we go weekends at a stretch

with nothing happening
and then--

Yeah. Typical.

Yeah.
Oh, it's fine.

The business is more important

than some silly
film thing anyway.

Still, it's not every day
my wife gets to walk up

the red carpet
with Hugh Jackman.

We'll work something out.

Why can't you
and Ruby come too?

-Dave!
-It's a family thing.

There's plenty
of stuff for kids to do.

You know, there's jumping
castles and there's golf.

Think she's a little
bit young for golf.

- Yeah, but you're not.
- I hate golf.

Never played it.

Look, the last thing
I feel like doing

is traipsing
around some hotel

checking out dimmer
switch displays.

Hardly my idea of fun.

Well, it's not meant
to be fun.

-It's business.
-Oh.

-There's karaoke, Dave.
-Oh.

Oh, at least I'm putting
in time with my workers

-where something will pay off.
- Oh.

Not like some stupid
movie premiere.

Oh, stupid movie premiere
now is it?

- Yes, it is.
-Time out you two.

The baby.

Now I can always baby sit,
you know.

And as luck would have it,
I just happen

to be free all weekend.

Oh. You wouldn't mind?

Oh, it'll be a chore, but
I'll struggle through somehow.

Might even ask Donna
over to sit with me.

-Thanks, Dad.
-Thanks, Ted.

-Good night.
- Night.

Every now and then,

you realize
just how easy it is

to break one of those
unwritten rules.

-Good night.
-Good night.

- Morning.
-Oh, morning.

Oh. Isn't it my turn?

-I don't know. What day is it?
-Ah...

-Who are you again?
-Mm.

Mm. Jemma, coffee.

Noel. Christmas bonus.

- Oh, thanks mate.
-Early.

Thank you.

Um, well, I read your column.

Oh. That's why
you bought the coffee.

-Buttering me up to fire me.
-No.

-That would be hot chocolate.
-Of course.

-It's great.
-Really?

-Really.
-Oh. Now see,

every week I think
it's the worst thing

-I've ever done.
-No, not at all.

Third worst, tops.

See, I still can't believe

that potty training's
so full on.

Yeah, well, it's a battle
of wills.

Yeah, well, I wouldn't know.

-I'm still wearing nappies.
-Ooh,

see now that's a new low
even for you.

And so early in the morning.

Oh hey, um,

what time's
the premiere tomorrow?

-You can come?
-Yeah, sure.

Oh, there I was thinking
I'd be swapping botox tips

with B-grade celebs
all by myself.

Yeah, see no-one should
have to do that.

Indeed.
Well, this is great.

-Tell Dave I owe him one.
-Oh, well he's got plans

-of his own actually.
-That's very modern.

Yes. No,
we're very easy going.

-It was no drama.
-It was no dramas.

Jules understands
how important

-these trade things are.
-Can't wait.

Yeah, like I said,
I'd like to involve you guys

more in the business side
of things.

One day, who knows?

Thanks, Dave,
I appreciate that.

Early kick off tomorrow
morning. We stay at the hotel

tomorrow night
and it's seminars all weekend.

Oh, as if you'd be going
to the seminars.

You'll be spending
a weekend at the bar.

You understand
don't you, Coby?

This is advanced stuff.
It's not meant

-for apprentices yet.
-Yeah, not meant

-for dumb arses, I get it.
-No, I didn't say that.

No, I'm just messing with you.

No, you know, once you add up
the registration fee,

-the accommodation costs--
-No, seriously, it's sweet as.

Be boring as bat poo anyway.

-Absolutely.
-Totally.

Definitely.

You mob have been
practicing that.

Grid plates.
One gang.

-Yep.
-Two gang.

Yep.

Chain gang.

Wow, that was really lame.

I can do lamer.

No, no, no, no, no, no.
If you don't stop

I'm going to inflict
some serious damage

-with this cable.
-Six ml?

No, four ml.
Leaves less of a mark.

-Oh, hello you.
-Hi. Working late?

Yeah, we're just doing
a checklist for a job

-we're doing next week.
-Oh, and you're still

managing to smile.
I'm impressed.

Trust me,
it's more of a grimace.

Yeah. Frankie's unimpressed
by my quick wit.

Oh, surely not.

Yeah, well,
you had to be there.

Yeah, well there was
a hilarious incident

with a shredder at work
which probably

won't translate either.

I cannot believe
Dave is not taking me.

♪ Oh, oh,
He's not taking me ♪

You know, I went
to that last awards night

and it was unreal,
but this one's gonna be better

because you don't have
to leave.

You can just stay
and party on for days.

♪ Oh, oh,
You can party on for days ♪

I was so sick
at handing out those cards.

Dave is mental
for not taking me too.

♪ Dave's mental ♪

What? Oh look,

these things
are expensive anyway.

How much you reckon?

I don't know,
but even if it's like

five bucks,
it's three bucks too much

to listen to some bloke
bang on about copper wire.

Oh, here he is,
teacher's pet.

You bought
Dave out yet, Jakey?

Oh, guys.
When you have worked

as long as I have,
then you can expect Dave

to take you
to the Mountain too, right?

Yeah.
Brokeback Mountain.

-Oh, you--
-Oh yeah, do that.

-That makes me feel good.
-Look, count yourself lucky.

At least this way you get
to go to my gig

and there will be
way more chicks

than any sparky convention.

-You reckon?
-Yeah.

Poor Frankie will be
so outnumbered.

No, bugger it.
I'm going to splash the cash

and I can get it back
on my tax return thingo.

-You do a tax return?
-Yes.

And someone
needs to make sure

all the knuckleheads
aren't drooling over Frankie.

Ah, you've still got it bad,
don't you?

No.

-♪ He's still got... ♪
-Play anything about that,

I will stick it where
you cannot play it any more.

♪ He's got it bad,
Really, really bad ♪

♪ It's why he's sad ♪

That is gold.

Adam liked the column?

Oh, yeah.
Yeah, he did.

That's good.

You know, Dad and Donna
are trying that new place

down near the station.

-The one with the silly name.
-Yeah.

Well, hopefully
the food's good.

Yeah.

Are you sure you don't want
a glass of wine?

-No. Better not.
-Oh come on, it's Friday.

Oh, right. Forgot about those.

Do you want some more?

No. Finished.

Here, no, no,
I'll do it. Sit...

-No, I don't mind.
-No darling, rest your flu.

Hey, first time I've ever seen
you two early for something.

Keen to learn, Dave,
keen to learn.

I can't wait
to get out of the city.

This is going to be...

a very educational experience.

Hi you two,
excited about the weekend?

Oh, yeah. First beer's
going to be magic.

Yeah, not that there's
going to be much time

-for socializing though.
-Oh, well better not forget

-these then.
-Oh, thanks.

Yeah, they...
They do seem to be working.

-Yeah.
- Right.

We might hit
the road.

Yeah, I'll see you
at that cafe on the highway.

Sure.

Well, I hope you have fun
at the premiere.

-Oh. Yeah, the film.
-Yeah, the film.

-Well, bye.
-Yeah.

I'm not going to see you
for two days.

-Yeah, it feels weird.
-♪ Sweet darling ♪

♪ We're tendered with love ♪

-Has to last.
-Mm.

Love you.

You too.

It felt like
Dave and I

had the same rule book

but were no longer
on the same page.

You need a hand love?

No, no, keep doing
what you're doing.

Oh, Dave!

Not again!

What's the poor fellow
done now?

Oh, he's put a tissue
in his pocket

and he's put it
through the wash

and it's gone
through everything.

Well, no one's arguing
with you but is it

worth getting
that het up about?

Oh, well you fix it then.

You all right?

Look, leave that.

Come over here.

I'm sorry Dad.

What's going on?

Well, I don't know.
Honestly, I don't know.

You know, Dave and I
seem to be fine and then...

then we just start
this horrible sniping

-at each other.
-What about?

I don't know,
anything and everything.

Last week we even managed
to disagree about red.

Red who?

The color.

Oh, it's just,
it's like we're not

working together any more.

Every couple have
their ups and downs.

You and Mom never did.

Well, apart
from when you invited Barry

on summer holidays
without asking her.

Well, how was I
to know he was a nudist?

Your Mom and I,
we're like two peas in a pod.

It's hard to disagree
with someone

who thinks exactly
the same as you.

I always thought
Dave and I did too.

You still do.

It's good you're having
a night apart.

Gives you a chance
to miss each other.

What do you reckon?
Not too shabby?

How big's the bathtub?

Didn't get a bathtub.

I guess the king-size
jacuzzi'll have to do instead.

Thanks, Dave,
this is fantastic.

-Oh, you're welcome.
-Although mine

has a creepy looking
Teddy bear.

I paid extra for that.
You get your name tag?

All right, let's go.

Hey, is that the Rafter
Electrical party squad?

-Hey, hey, hey, hey.
-What are you doing here?

Ah, paid in full.
Well you know one of us has.

- Sam Nguyen?
-Oh, yeah.

-I'm adopted.
-And I know you said

this wasn't for apprentices,
but I had some spare cash

-hanging around and...
-You trying to make

-me feel bad.
-No.

Well, I'm glad you're here.
You coming

-to the opening address?
-If it's near an open bar,

-count me in.
-Hey, we're here to learn.

Speak for yourself mate. Cobes
and I are free agents baby.

Fair enough.

-I thought you, you had a gig.
-Oh, it got cancelled.

That's three very disappointed
people out there.

Where's your room?

Oh.

Don't. Don't you even start.

Oh this is going to be
ten types of awesome!

Mom, I'm thinking of doing
something that might sound

-a little bit crazy.
-Oh, bungee jump naked?

No, I've done that.
Buying a property.

What? Where?

The cottage me and Emma
stayed at last week.

-In the country?
-Yeah.

But it's in the country.

No Thai home delivery there,

no, no pizza joint.

-Don't need it.
-You'll starve.

Mom, cooking and eating

our own produce is part
of what's cool about it.

-Right.
-Okay.

Emma cooking
and me eating our own produce.

We'll sell what we don't eat
and get jobs

in the local pub or something.

Um, look, darling,

buying a property's a really
big commitment and I just...

You and Emma haven't known
each other that long.

Well, I haven't talked
to her about it yet.

I just wanted
to run it past you first.

-Isn't that going well?
-No.

Look, Emma's
a really sweet girl

and if it's what
you truly want,

then I think it's great.

Really?

Of course. As long as
you've thought it through.

Who would have thought your
future lay in horticulture?

-Trust me, no one's

more surprised than I am.

It's just something
that we both get a lot

-of pleasure out of and--
-Nice.

Be great to work together
one day like you and Dad.

I know that sounds
really dumb.

No, it doesn't.

It's the nicest thing
I've heard in ages.

That's all we'll ever need
to know about smart metering.

-And then some.
-Hey.

I'm gagging for a drink.

How was the challenges

of electrical diagnostics
and repairs?

-Set your world on fire?
-No.

Made me want to set
myself on fire.

See, that's where
you went wrong,

going to the seminars
in the first place.

-Where's Jake?
-Oh, he's such a suck.

He'll be in there
until the end

and then line
up for an autograph.

Oi, don't speak too soon.

Oh, it's good to see
all my staff

are equally as dedicated.

It's not all
about laying cables.

There's tennis. Golf.

-Bush walking.
-Boring. Boring.

-Oh, and karaoke.
-The only thing

I'm signing up for
is weightlifting

with a standard glass
of beer for the weight.

Yeah, well let's just stick
to soft drinks

until after the presentations.

That's what we're here for.

Gary Tunstall.

What happened to Sam Nguyen?

Sam owes people money.
Don't ask.

No Gazza here
is a much better fit.

-Gazza?
-Gazza, yeah.

I look like a Gazza.
I feel like a Gazza.

Well, Gazza,
hope you're prepared

-for your time in the sun.
-Hey?

Well, it says here
you're doing a presentation

on carbon accreditation
and the electrical industries.

Save me a front row seat.

Sorry, Gazza,
it's not you, it's me.

Everything all right
in here? Hey!

Oh, look at you.

-There you go.
-Hi, sweetheart!

-You playing up a bit?
-Yeah.

Madam here's not too keen
on her dinner.

Oh, sweetheart,
you love your pumpkin.

What's going on?

Oh, she feels a bit warm.

Mm?

Ooh, yeah, she is a bit.

Maybe she's getting
Dave's cold.

-Oh, yeah, that'd be right.
-Look,

you finish getting ready.
She'll be okay.

Okay. Well you know
the rules, Missy,

finish that and then you have
your bath okay?

- Come on.
-Thanks Dad.

Oh.

That last one wasn't too bad.

You were asleep
through half of it.

Yeah, well I concentrate
better with my eyes closed.

Well, according to my watch,
it has long gone beer o'clock.

I better call Jules.
Wish her luck for tonight.

-Still Gazza is it?
-Pete McInnis.

Where's Jake?

Oh, he's probably
still asking questions.

Maybe we should be doing that.

No, no.
See, Jake's already a dag.

He's got nothing to lose.
We on the other hand, you know.

-Good point.
-Hey, yeah, beers.

Excuse me. Please.
Thank you.

Mate, that's lovely.

That ought to do it.

Have another look!

Pete McInnis.

Big M, little C, big I,

double N, I-S. Hello.

Hold still darling.

Oh, she's definitely running
a temperature.

Well, it's nothing
we haven't seen before.

-Oh, I guess.

No need for you
to give up your night.

Yeah. Hello.

Yeah, it's me.
Just checking in.

Wanted to wish
you a fun night.

-Oh, darling, hi.
- You all dolled up?

Send me a photograph
and I'll brag about you

-to all the other delegates.
-Yeah, well, I actually

-may not be going.
-What? Why?

Well, Ruby's sick.
She's got your cold.

-Jules, she's fine.
-Anyway I just don't feel

-right about leaving her.
-How bad is she?

Well,
she's got a temperature.

-How high?
-Thirty-eight.

- That's not that bad.
-Well, what if she gets worse?

I'm sure Ted can handle it.

Yeah, easy for you to say.

Yeah. Besides, if she's got
my cold according to you

she's got nothing
to worry about.

Honestly Julie, there's no
need for you to stay.

We'll call you
if it gets any worse.

-What did Ted say?
-Nothing.

I'm sure he'll call
if Ruby gets any worse.

-Julie, she'll be fine

and both of you deserve
a night out.

Yes. All right.
Okay, okay, I'll go.

-Good on you.
-Anyway I better get going.

-The taxi'll be here soon.
-Have a great time.

Can't wait
to hear all about it.

Yeah, you too. Love you.

Yeah, love you too. Bye.

So you're a sparkie.

-Not many of your sort around.
-What? Geminis?

That deserves a drink.

Coby Jennings.

We work together a lot.
Five days a week,

-sometimes six.
-Pete McInnis.

Look, Frankie and I
are trying to have a chat.

Oh, great, good,
no we love chats.

-Nuts.
-I'm all right.

-I'm fine thanks.
-No, I'd really, um,

I'd really love some
so would you mind just,

could you just grab
those nuts?

-Sure. Sure.
-Thanks.

Careful, Tango.
He's twice your size.

-Who's Tango?
-My mum's Chihuahua,

barks like mad whenever
the big dogs come around.

-There you go.
-Thank you.

I could say something
about you holding my nuts.

- But I won't.
-Oh, mate you don't talk

-to girls like that.
-Easy Tango.

-Is that right?
-That's right. Yeah.

Excuse me, mate, um,

is that yours?

He just gave it
to me by mistake.

Fantastic. I can't get
into Gary Tunstall's seminar

-without that.
-Wouldn't want to miss that.

-Pete McInnis.
-Found him.

-Good. So...
-Yeah.

Just in time for a drink.

Oh, no,
I'm on these antibiotics.

Oh, come on,
one won't kill you.

-There you go, Pete.
Oh, cheers, mate.

How often do you get
a night off, mate?

-Come on, Dave.
-Well, if you put it that way.

Dave, Dave, Dave, Dave, Dave.

Oh, look out,
Dave's off the leash.

Okay. Well,
I'll call you later.

Okay.

Don't worry, Jules,
she'll be fine.

Yeah, I just... all right.

-Have fun.
-Okay. Thanks Dad.

-Hey.
-Hey.

- Sorry to keep you.
-No rush.

-You look amazing.
-Oh, thanks.

-New dress.
-Well, whatever you paid

-it was a bargain.
-You don't look

-so bad yourself.
-Yeah, until I faint.

There's no air
getting past this tie.

Thanks.

Actually, I'm sorry.

What's wrong?

Ruby's sick.

I can't go.

I'm sorry.

No, there's no need
to apologize.

It's, um, it's important
you do what you have to do.

-Have a good night.
-I will endeavor to do that.

Surely she's over-reacting.

Well, it's still 38.

Yeah, I know, I know.

I just, I didn't feel right
leaving her.

You two could still go out
for dinner if you like.

No, I've just started cooking

and there's plenty here
for you too.

Yeah, well, sorry
for crashing in on you.

-No dramas.
-Here.

Oh, thanks.

Although I was looking forward
to your stories.

Emma told me
that Angelique Jolie's

gonna be there.

Then Emma was having you on.

One of the unwritten
rules for parents

is that you're never
off duty.

Even if you're all dressed up
and looking fabulous.

Why do you stay to the end?

You already know
all that stuff.

He was looking me
right in the face

so I couldn't just get up
and leave.

Course you can.
You just pretend

-you're busting.
-Genius.

Who's up for another drink?

I'll take that as a yes.
Dave?

No, you can count me out
this time.

Why? You're not still in
a tizz about your medication?

No, no, it's just...

Oh, well, suit yourself.

Find it hard to believe
we're related right now.

Everything all right?

Ah, yeah,
Ruby's running a fever.

Is she okay?

Yeah, it's just,
maybe I should be at home.

You know, I gave her the cold.

I should at least be there
to look after her.

There's these things
called phones.

Ted can always ring you
if there's a problem.

-Yeah, true.
-Mm.

Here we go.

-Oh. Oh no.
-Oh, Boots?

I could kiss you right now.

It's delicious.

Come on, nanas,
one in all in.

Oh, I don't know.

Well, don't hold back
on my account.

You're the one's
who's got to wear it.

Oh.

See, over before you know it.

What could possibly
go wrong?

Mm.

Now someone's got to put
that one out of its misery.

No, I'm fine.
Really.

Yeah, after your recent form
that's probably for the best.

-Don't look at me.
-Come on, Rafter,

we'll still respect you
in the morning.

No, it's probably good
for the boss

-to set an example.
-Of what? Being boring?

Boring, boring, boring.

-Bloody hell.

Cheers.

Okay, mister, what's going on?

What?

You've been grinning
to yourself all night.

-I'm a funny guy.
- Not that funny.

All right,
I admit I've got an idea

I want to run past you
but during the shift's

not the right time.

Let me guess, you're gonna be
a ventriloquist.

No.

You're not gonna buy a goat,
are you?

Warmer.

What are you guys doing here?

I thought
you were babysitting.

Hm. So did we,
but Julie had other plans.

We got released on parole
for cake and hot chocolate.

Yum.

I'll get you some menus.

Thanks, Donna.

-What for?
-What?

You said, thanks Donna.

- Yeah, for the menu.
-You mean Emma.

-What did I say?
-It doesn't matter.

Both our names are practically
the same anyway.

That's true.

I'm always calling you
the wrong name,

aren't I, Amanda?

Nan used to run through
everybody's name

except the person
she was talking to.

I was always, Julie,
Dave, Rachel, Nathan, Ben!

-Oh! Hi.
- I was... Hi.

I was just on my way home.

I just thought I'd stop by
to see how Ruby is.

Oh, oh, she's fine.

Yeah.
I completely over-reacted.

Good.
Well, I had to give you this.

It's the goodie bag
from the premier.

I've already picked all
the decent stuff out.

-You're welcome to the rest.
-Thank you.

It can't be over already.
It's too early.

No, it's still grinding on.

Words have yet to be invented
to describe how boring it is.

-Oh.
-Yeah.

Well, anyway, look,
I'm glad Ruby's fine

and I'll see you.

Well, hey, if you can put up

with my,
oh so glamorous attire,

I'll make you a cuppa.

Okay, well,
I'll see how I go,

-but if it gets too much.
-Oh, come on.

Nice to see you take
your comfort seriously.

Yes, well, it's an extreme
sport around here.

Kettle's just boiled.

-Take a seat.
-Thanks.

I tell you,
another ten minutes

and I would have been
technically brain dead.

Actually, are you...
You're sure

you don't want
something strong?

We've got wine or beer.

Absolutely not.

I've been dreaming
of a cup of tea

-for the last hour.

You think I'm joking.

No, no,
I know you better than that.

Yeah, well, you didn't
miss much, trust me.

Oh, come on,
it wasn't that bad.

True. Helen Mirren did make
a nice speech.

Really?

Sure it wasn't that guy
from the Carpet Warehouse ads?

Actually he was there.

He was in
a shag pile waistcoat.

I'm glad you think it's funny.

They made me take a picture
with him.

-There you go.
-Thank you.

And then there was chaos
as everyone tried to sneak out

of the theatre
all at the same time.

I think I head-butted
that woman

from Deal or No Deal.

-You know, the blonde one.
-Oh, you poor thing.

Yeah. You at least deserve
a biscuit.

Thank you.

-So did you hear from Dave?

Ah, yeah,
I have actually.

Room full of tradies
with a free pass.

-Bet the beer's flowing.
-Hmm.

Dave's not really
into big nights.

He's probably
already asleep by now.

A good time tonight ♪

♪ Rock and roll music

Oh, come on, come on,
up you get!

No, no, no, no, no.
I'll come with you.

-Down, Tango, bad dog.
- Hey, come up here.

-Come on, you piker.

Really like this room.

Do you?

Why?

Oh, it's just got a nice feel.

Mm.

See, I was going minimalist,

but I went
suburban chaos instead.

Yeah, the basket of socks
works really well.

Yes, now, well, you see
Dave argued against that

but I think it adds
a definite flair.

Indeed, now
I'm gonna get me one too.

I'm going to stick it
right in the hallway.

Yeah, I bet your house
is nothing like this.

What do you think
my house looks like?

Oh, uh, okay.

Glass and chrome,
shiny surfaces,

no dirty fingerprints
anywhere.

-Go on.
-Um, oh, okay.

Maybe some artifacts
from all your travels.

African masks
and bits of the Berlin Wall.

I tell you what, let's swap.

Yeah, could you imagine?

Ruby'd have everything covered
in stewed apple

in three seconds flat.

Yeah, but this is nice,
I mean this is, it's lived in.

-It's a home.
-Yeah.

And as you know
I was always travelling,

too busy to put roots down.

-Well, you're not now.
-No.

But the truth is,
I don't know where to start.

Basket of socks,
work back from there.

I got to go.

Well, you don't have to.

I mean,
not unless you want to.

-You're not too tired?
-No, not at all.

Tell you what,
we could go really crazy

and open a bottle of wine.

-Crazy is good.
-Okay.

Sharing a glass of wine
with another man

is only bending the rules.

But if that's the case,

why did I feel
a little bit guilty?

Do we really have
to name the baby

after all of your relatives?

Oh, maybe not Uncle Adrastos.

Not since he backed
over Mom's bird bath.

Yeah, we don't want to jinx
our baby to be a bad driver.

No.

Hang on, I thought
you were sure it was a girl.

I am.

Unless it's a boy.

I'm just covering
all bases, honey.

Well, you better add
Aunty Panagiota's name

to the list.

Yeah. She fed Dad's rabbits
while they were away.

Right.

So if it's a girl,

including Aunty Panacotta...

Panagiota.

It's 14 names.

-Mm.
- Hey.

-Hey.
-Hey.

What's that?
Shopping list?

-No, it's a--
-Yes! Yeah, yeah, it is.

Yeah, shopping list.

What,
you're buying pannacotta.

Panagiota,
that's my auntie's name.

Mm.

You know,
you can talk about the baby.

And we will.

Just in bed.

-Come on, babe.
-Yeah.

-Night, guys.
- Night.

- Night.
-Good night.

Okay, spill.

No, no, keep guessing,
it's fun.

-No, Ben!
-All right, all right.

I'm thinking about buying
the cottage.

What?

You know, the one that
we stayed at in the country.

Yes.
I remember.

Well, I know that
I'll have a mortgage,

but shouldn't be too bad.

And you can still study.

There's a TAFE nearby
and we could get jobs

in the local cafe or something

and grow stuff and sell it
and earn money that way.

And that's what you've been
training to do,

-to live off the land.
-Yeah, well, Ben, hang on--

And there'll be chickens
and we can have sheep

-and watercress soup--
-Oh, oh, oh. Ben, Ben!

You think
it's a stupid idea.

No.

I don't know what I think.

Remember what it was like.

It was just so beautiful
and peaceful.

It was perfect.

Oh, my God.

-We could live there.
-We could.

We totally could.

-I'm a bad dad.
- Baghdad?

-No, no, a bad dad.
-Oh, no you're not.

-I infect my family.
-No, no.

-You don't.
-Who wants a drink?

We're a great team.
Aren't we a great team?

Yeah, great team.

Orange Web, Orange Web,
Orange Web?

-I can't find my phone.
-Three Orange Webs.

-Where's my phone?
-Hey, where have you been?

Toilet, is that all right?

Isn't it great
she's part of our team?

-Isn't she great?
-Oh, you guys.

I tried to order
another drink, but no duck.

Huh, yeah. No,
I wouldn't serve us either.

We missed you.

-I was only gone five minutes.
-Still.

Geez, Tango,
I think I preferred it more

when you were ignoring me.

-All right, I'm out of here.
-Oh.

Coby.

Don't worry about it.

Where's my phone?

Unwritten rules
are there for a reason.

Once they're broken,
there's no going back.

Come on,
there must be something.

Um, primary school teacher
I guess.

Okay. You'd be good at that.

Mm.
Yeah, maybe.

I like kids.

-Just as well really.

What about you?

Me, I always wanted
to be a journalist.

Being a novelist
seemed too unrealistic.

Mm. Would you ever write
a book?

-Not disciplined enough.
-Hmm.

It's funny the paths we take,
where we end up.

Mm.

Did you end up
where you thought you'd be?

Mm, yeah, pretty much.

You're probably thinking
I should have aimed

-a bit higher.
-No, not at all.

-You're just saying that.
-No, really...

What?

I just wish I had
what you have.

What, a husband?

-Now that you mention it.

-That's weird.
-Yeah.

No, no seriously
I, you know, a family

-and kids.
-Oh.

Well, it's not too late.

I mean, my kids are the best
thing I've ever done.

I know that.

Still, you know,
there's times

when you can't help
but wonder--

What might have been.

Yeah.

Hmm.

I, uh... Oh no.

-What?
-Nothing.

Nothing! Come on, I told you,
that's not fair.

Yeah, no, no, no this far,
it's far more embarrassing.

Well, you never know.

Maybe I was gonna say
the same thing.

What are you...
what do you think this is?

What we're doing?

I don't know.

I like it.

I'm home.

Oh. Dad.

In here.
Hi.

This is Adam. My boss.

Ted Taylor.

Adam Goodman.

Yeah.

How's Ruby?

Oh, the temperature's
come right down.

She'll probably sleep it off.

Mm-hmm.

-Well, I should go.
-Hey, thanks for the gift bag.

-Thank you for the chat.
- I'll see you out.

No, no need.
I'm fine.

-Okay.
-I'll see you at work.

Okay.

-Nice to meet you, Ted.
-Mm.

Bye.

So, how was your nightcap?

I was about to ask you
the same thing.

Oh, it was nice of Adam
to drop around.

Bit late for a visit,
isn't it?

Don't, Dad.

Four beers thanks, mate,

that'd be great.
What are you doing?

It can't be over.
No, no, I've got--

Bar's shut, mate.

Mate, well, it's
un-Australian to begin with.

You know, in some countries,
if a man demands a beer,

you legally have to give...

Oh, you're not seriously
closing the bar, are you?

-Bar's shut, mate.
-But it's got...

It's not over mate,
it's not over.

I'll get...
Hey, hey, hey,

we've got the mini bars

and I am not afraid
to use them.

-Me neither.
- To my room!

Oh, wait.
I'm sharing with Cobes.

-To your room.
- Yeah, yeah.

-Let's do it.
-No, I'm gonna go to bed.

Oh, come on, Jakey boy.

Come on, Jakey boy,
don't be like that.

No, I'm going to bed.
You look after him.

-Careful.
-That's wood.

I love wood. And...

-I love you guys.
-Oh, you too, big fella.

Kangaroo Dad.

Oh!

Oh!

Oh, that's a nice telly.

I told you it was creepy.

-I got to pee.
- All right.

-Just put the lid up.
-Thanks for the tip.

Yeah.
I think I better call home.

-Where's my phone?
-Dave, Dave no, no, no.

-Forget the phone.
-No. Where is it?

No, look I can't.
I've got to find my phone.

Dave!
Forget the phone.

-Hey, listen to me.
-Okay, what?

-It's gone.
-Oh, right. Okay.

You know that I'm really glad
you found us.

It just works.

Yeah, me too.

I really like you guys.

Yeah.

Yeah, me too.

Ooh. Okay, guys,
party's over.

Almost home.
All right, guys.

-Cool.
- I have to go.

- No, no I'll go.
-It's your room.

I'll take Dave's room.
Just leave him.

Sometimes,
it's hard to know

when you've broken
an unwritten rule.

But when there's no way
you're going to sleep,

that's usually
a pretty good indication.

Just you, mate.

You know, if you don't want

you can just say.

Although you've probably
done enough team building

-Don't. I feel sick.

-I'm such an idiot.
-No, you're not.

Yes, I am.

I have ruined everything.

Everyone says that
after tying one on.

You saw Dave.
He can't even look at me.

Oh, and Julie.

She has been nothing
but lovely.

I'm such a bloody moron.

Oh, it was just
a stupid drunken kiss.

Dave's probably forgotten
about it already.

Are you joking?

He practically ran screaming
from the building.

Well, maybe it's true.
He had to go home.

I can't stop thinking
about it.

I'm gonna have to quit,
aren't I?

Okay. You know what, enough.

You know what I think?

I reckon the whole thing's
just gonna blow over

without anyone
ever mentioning it again.

So, the best thing you could do

is to stop
driving yourself crazy.

Okay?

And I won't say anything
to anyone, I promise.

Thanks, Matt.

I know.

Have some more of this.

It's for eating, isn't it?
