Packed to the Rafters (2008–2013): Season 6, Episode 7 - Taking Stock - full transcript

There are two types
of people.

The ones who enjoy
fixing things,

and the ones
who'd rather chuck it out

and buy a new one.

A bit of a setback, eh?

Oh, it's a bloody shame.

She was coming along nicely.

It's still worth
saving though.

What, are you serious?

These split windscreens
are rare, mate.

It's going to cost you
a fortune.



Yeah, it's not about
the money.

Can't let a few local thugs
stop us.

Your call.

Want to start now?

Oh, I'd love to,
but I've got to get home.

Help with the housework.

How did Julie take it
when you told her

about our little project?

'Cause
that's what I want.

Not help out around the house.

Not... Not someone
to watch over Dad.

I want you to fix up
an old car!

She was fine.

Oi Jacks,



do you want to give us
a hand with the kombi?

Oh, no.
I've got some homework to do.

There's a first.

Yeah.

Me?

I reckon
nothing's beyond repair.

Whoa!

Oh, Dad.
I just changed her clothes.

Woo-hoo-hoo!
Guess what we found, Jules?

Tar pit?

A baby bird on the ground

and we put it back up
in the tree.

-Didn't we, Rubes?
- Oh, that's great.

Look I'm going to take
this to my room.

Give us a hoy
when dinner's ready, eh?

Yeah, fine.

Come here, mud monster.

- Hello, hello.
-Dad!

What happened here?

Dad happened.
You're home late.

Yeah, I had to
swing by Buzz's place.

Oh, yes your secret project.

Look, I'll take care
of swamp thing here.

You sit.

No, I've got to make
a start on the dishes.

No, you're right.
I should've told you about it.

-Yes, you should've.
-Here you go.

You're off duty
until 11:00 a.m. tomorrow.

Why?
What happens at 11:00?

You get back from your massage
and I get forgiven.

-Long way to go yet.
-Got to start somewhere.

A cup of tea
might get you closer.

Coming right up.

Even the tense home situation
isn't beyond repair.

It just takes work.

Let's put this in the bathroom.
Up you get.

Lots of work.

Thanks.

-So...
-Yeah.

How are you, Cobes?

You know.
Can't complain.

You are a lot easier
on the eye than this mob, so...

I'm really sorry that
I didn't come last weekend.

It's cool.
It's no biggie.

I just... I didn't...

I didn't get your message
in time.

-Well, you're here now, so...
-Yeah, yeah.

And next time don't rely
on Matt, okay?

-Yeah.
-Hopeless.

Mind like a sieve.

It is really good to see you.

Yeah, you too.

And P...

How'd he go?

Hey. Not a peep.
Great.

You sir are a lifesaver.

Hello. What are you doing?

Online aptitude test.

I'm thinking
about my career change.

Ah. Floristry
really isn't doing it

for you anymore, is it?

Oh, mate, it's time
to get serious, you know?

Leave the flowerpots
to the girls,

strike out on my own.

Well, if you say so.

I mean,
when you look at me,

you don't see a florist.

-I don't?
-No.

I just want to find
something I love,

and do it for
the rest of my life.

You know,
look after my family.

-Like you.
-Right.

Yeah, I wouldn't say
I'm loving my job

at the moment,
but I am getting better at it.

Yeah, I know.

You're a perfectionist,
like me.

Now, hang on a sec.
Geez, this test takes forever.

I'm just going to answer
the last few.

A, C, D, C and done.

Very thorough...

Okay.
Look processing results.

Get ready
for my future career.

Beautician.

Oh, I had to beg you
to use your loo

that first time, remember?

Now you've got a housemate?

Mm. Oh, it is a challenge,
and every day

I make him say it,
"Boundaries are my friend."

I think it's great.
For both of you.

Yeah. It is...
It is actually nice

to have some company.

You tell Matt that
and I will kill you.

So, you haven't met
Hank yet?

Hank? No.
No, I don't think so.

A pile of Matt's hair
in the corner of the shower?

Yes! No! What is that!

Oh, no.

Me and Jake thought
he was trying to grow

another housemate
so he can have an extra vote

on what to watch on telly.

Where's your Bible,
preacher man?

Hey, mate.
Well, I'll catch you later.

Make sure you keep spreading
that good word, eh?

Hallelujah.

Bible?
Who is that guy?

Just a guy.
It's fine.

So, did you get
that new tat yet?

No, no, no.
You know me.

I'll be umming and aahing
until I'm at least 80.

Yeah. Well, there's plenty
of time to think in here.

You should see
if they've got a spare room.

I don't know how you do it.

No, choice.
They lock the doors.

Have you been using
those pencils that I gave you?

Every chance I get.

Without being labeled
the "arty" type.

Mm, because that would
be bad...

No. Just harder.

Yeah.

If there's any consolation,
you... you seem good.

And like I said,
lots of time to think.

About what?

What I did.

What I shouldn't have done.

What I want to do.

I, uh, I guess I should go.

I'll come back though.

Sooner rather
than later, eh?

Yeah, yeah.
Well if...

If that's what you want.

Yeah. I do.

So, what's the deal here?

If I hug you will
they like taser me?

No. Yeah,
they'll go for me.

Thank you for coming.
I appreciate it.

Yeah.
I'll see you soon.

Your favorite, madam.

Ohh, noted.
Thank you.

We found a baby bird
on the ground today.

Oh.

Ruby and I put it
back in the tree.

Wow.

That's good of you, Dad.
Isn't it, sweetheart?

All right folks.
Dig in.

- Ooh!
-Um...

Here, let me.

-No, I've got it.
-No, Dave. Leave it.

No, no.
I'm just trying to help.

Dave, let... Just...
All right. Fine.

Hey, it's okay.

You know what?
I might just make

a few of those calls from here
instead of next door.

Oh, no, darling.

You need peace
and quiet to work,

which is in short supply
in this house.

No, it's fine.

I can help you out more
if I'm here.

-Thanks, mate.
-No, it's a lovely offer,

but you've got enough
on your plate.

And on my pants.
I might just get changed.

Jules, why don't you
let him help?

-He's busy.
-We all are.

Yeah, well at least
he's not frittering his time

away on some
undividable car.

The whole idea
is to make it drivable,

and I was hardly...

Look, just...
Let's just forget it.

Let's drop it.

Ruby and I found
a baby bird today.

Did he call?

-Hi, honey.
-Hi, babe. Who call?

Buzz.

Why wouldn't he call
your mobile?

Oh, I don't know.

Maybe kissing him
like that and walking away

was a bad idea.

He's kind
of sending mixed messages.

Oh, but it seemed
so romantic at the time.

I've blown it, haven't I?

Or maybe he's using
the three day rule on you.

The what?

Yeah, you know how long has it
been since you've kissed?

-Oh, nearly three days.
-There you go.

You see, there's this thing
where a bloke waits three days

before calling the girl.

You know,
he builds tension,

gets her all hot
and bothered and eager.

So I've heard.

Well, if that's what he's doing,
it's working.

Yeah, and we are not letting him
get away with it.

That's it.

We are setting
a four day rule.

Really? But what if
the three day thing

is just a coincidence?

Yeah, and what if it isn't?
What if he's toying with you?

Why would he do that?

He was lovely to me
at your party.

You know what?
If he is toying with you,

you can't let him
get away with it.

You've got to toy
with him right back.

So anyway, how was work?

-Quiet.
-Mm.

Speaking of work,
have you done

that aptitude test yet?

Uh... No, no.
I've been a bit busy.

-What's this?
-No, no, you don't want

-to look at that.
-Nail technician?

What's that like some kind
of carpenter?

Yeah.
Something like that.

Anyway, it's just
a stupid test.

No, no, no, what else?

-Window dresser.
-Ooh.

That'd be fun.

-Not interested.
-Vet.

Ooh, a lot of training.

Nurse.
It says vet nurse.

Look, stop!
They're chick's jobs.

- Carbo--
-No, no, I don't want to do

a chick's job.
You know I want...

I want to respect myself.

-I want you to respect me.
-Honey, I do respect you.

I want to support you.
My way.

So how was it, seeing
the ex in the big house,

on a scale of awkward
to very awkward?

It was nothing like that.

It was nice.
It was really nice.

He seemed different.

I mean, you know,
still Coby but he was calmer

or something?

Hey, Chuckles.
What happened to you?

Another stellar day?

An Eastern suburbs princess
with a handbag dog happened.

Oh, no.

Yeah, the little mutt
got loose

and pissed all over
my back seat.

Yeah, what and then

it took a bit
of a shine to my leg,

if you get my drift.

Now, I've got to go
and wash my pants.

Oh, by the way,
how was it seeing Coby?

-It was fine.
-Fine?

Yeah. He's a good mate.

Hey, um, you don't think

that he might've found God
in there, do you?

What, the guy
whose party trick it was

to burp the Lord's prayer?

I doubt it. Why?

It's just something
that someone said.

It doesn't... Nothing.
Forget it.

So, "He's a good mate"?

Nice try, but back to you.
How's things going with Emma?

Has she realized
you're a low life yet?

No, she has not,

and I'll thank you
not to tell her.

Have you taken her
on the patented Buzz picnic?

No. I'm taking it
slow with this one.

Why? Didn't she come over
and plant a kiss on you?

Yeah.

So it's game on, isn't it?

Tell me you've at least
called her? Buzz!

-Frankie.
-No! Ugh!

Emma has made her move.
Trust yourself.

Make one back.

Thai rice?

Blah. Boring.

Leftover Indian?
Again.

Another night of Indian
and I'll turn into a pappadam.

Thai rice it is.

Oh. Guess who?

Ah. Seventy two hours
on the dot.

What does he say?

"Join me."

Oh. Okay.
You have to go, like now.

What? What happened
to the four day rule?

Oh, forget
the four day rule.

This is a romantic
dinner for two.

It trumps everything.

Plus, you can
bring me leftovers.

No, you were right.

If he wants to go back
to playing games,

I can play them, too.

Ooh.

Ahh.

Relaxed?

I feel like I could melt
through the floor.

Well, you never say
that about my massages.

She must've
had magic fingers.

-He sure did.
-He?

-Mm.
-Well, he might know

how to work your shoulders,
but could he get

this kitchen floor
to a high gloss?

Oh.
So clean you could eat off it.

Don't worry,
Ruby's already tried.

I'm impressed.

The floor's vacuum
and mopped,

toilet's scrubbed
and you can now officially see

the bottom
of our clothes basket.

Whoa. That would be
the first time since the 90s.

-Did I do good?
-Yes, you did good.

Forgiven for not telling you
about the kombi good?

Yeah, maybe.

Okay you two. Have fun.

-And, oh, please,

don't get paid in old cars
this time.

Come on, Jules.

You know I'll only accept
magic beans.

Now, what sort of an animal
is that?

A dinosaur.

Come on.
What is it?

-Giraffe.
-Giraffe.

Yeah, hello. Julie Rafter.
Oh, Donna, hi.

Actually...
Hey, could you hang on a sec?

Hang on. Dad,
I'm just going to hang out

-the washing.
-Mmm-hmm.

Hey, sorry.
No, he's actually already done

the vacuuming.

I know.
I was shocked, too.

Do you know
that we have giraffes

right here in Sydney?

Did you know that?
Did you?

Yeah, well no it has been

a bit tense actually,
but no we're getting there.

Well, he's been lovely.

Yeah.

Come on.
Let's go. Let's go.

If you come within
a hundred feet

of this house
with a dust buster,

I'm going to barricade
the door.

We'll hop in the car.
Come on.

We tell ourselves
everything can be fixed.

But how do you fix something
that's beyond your control?

- Ah.
-Oh, here he is.

How'd you go?

Oh, just a fried transformer.
Too easy.

No, no, no.
Not the job, your dinner.

Did you reel her in?

Well, she didn't take
the bait.

I love a good
fishing metaphor,

but I might just take this.

Hey, Jules. What's up?

Dad's taken Ruby somewhere.

Hang on a sec.
Did you check...

-Have you checked the park? -Yes. He's not there.

Carbo's checking
the other parks now.

Dave, he's taken the car.

-Mobile?
-No, he's left it at home.

-Mom.
-Hang on, hang on.

Carbo's back.

- What's happening?
-No, he hasn't found them.

-Okay, call the police.
-Yeah, all right.

- I'll be 15.
-Okay, hurry.

Guys, I've got to go.
Just finish up without me.

Yeah, sure.

Everything okay?

Yeah, g'day Eleanor.
This is Dave Rafter.

What else did
the police say?

Just to sit tight.

They'll call
if they hear anything.

Eleanor's not at home.

I left a message in case
he shows up there.

I can't believe this.

If I'd just
kept an eye on them.

Mom, you can't say that, okay.

None of this is your fault.

Oh, I was distracted.
I was on the phone...

Well,
how could you know?

He's never done anything
like this before.

Jules,
Ted dotes on Ruby.

The last thing he'd ever do

is let something happen
to her.

I just want to know
where they are.

♪ Along the window ♪

♪ And free ♪

There we go. Oh, look.

Oh, look there.
Look. Over there.

Here's the giraffes.
Come on.

I'll give you a boost.

Yes.

Oh, you're getting to be
a big girl, Julie.

And your dad's not
as strong as he was.

What do you want
to look at now?

-Lion.
-A lion? Okay.

We'll see a lion and then
we'll have an ice cream.

Let's go.

Yeah, well, thanks
anyway. Bye.

They're not
at the Boat Club.

Who was that?

Checking the hospitals.
Nothing.

Well, no news is good news.

How can anything
about this be good?

Well, it means
they're safe.

We don't know that.

It could be Carbo.

I don't know the number.
Hello?

Jerry, hi.

Our meeting...

Oh, no mate.
There's been so much going on.

-I forgot.
-Who are you ringing?

The police.

They said they'd call
if they heard anything.

Well, I have to do
something, Dave!

Well, we're doing
everything we can.

-No, I am!
-What does that mean?

Nothing.

They'll be okay.

There we go.

Isn't he a nice granddad?

Well, she's my daughter
actually.

Oh, sorry.

Come on love, we, uh,

we better make tracks.
Come on.

I can't believe old man
Rafter left us to pack up.

Old man Rafter?

Yeah. Let's see
if we can get it to catch on.

Yeah, well I don't know
about that.

He seemed
a bit stressed today.

What do you reckon's
going on?

Yeah, I don't know.

You had
all the answers yesterday.

"Show her how you feel.
Simple."

-Well, it should be.
-Well, next time

let me know about the part
where she doesn't show

and I feel like
a complete loser.

Don't blame me.

You choked for three days.
Just--

No. No more advice.

I don't want to hear it.

So that's it?
Are you giving up?

Have you called her?

Maybe she didn't get
your text.

Maybe her Mom broke her leg,
or maybe she did,

and she's lying on the floor
and she's calling out

your name and the phone's
just out of reach and...

Hey!

-You right to pack up, yeah?
-Where are you going?

I don't want to jinx it.

-Oh, I've blown it.
-No, you haven't.

We've got him exactly
where we want him.

And where is that exactly?

Desperate Town.
Population, Buzz.

No, he doesn't seem
desperate.

The only
desperate one is me.

That's it.
I'm texting him.

-No!
-Why not?

Because who's ever heard of
the three and a half day rule?

I'd never even heard of
the three day rule until you

and Carbo put it in my head.

Oh, hang on.
He's here.

-Who?
-Buzz, Buzz.

Okay. Shut up, shut up
and play cool, play cool.

Be cool.
Just be cool, be cool.

-Ah, Emma?
-Hm?

Oh. Buzz, hi.

Uh...
Look, I've been an idiot.

I waited too long
to call you.

Yeah, the old
three day rule.

The what day rule?

You know, make me wait
so I'm more keager.

I mean, that was eager
and keen together.

Well, look, I...

-Retta...
-Yes?

-Can you...
-Oh. Oh, yes.

That thing.
I'll just, um,

I'll just go do it.

Anyway to cut all the crap,
I... I choked.

I couldn't call you,
I couldn't come around.

I... because the...

The thing is
I really like you

and I didn't want to blow it.

Ah.

That's weird,
my palms are sweaty.

Bloody hell, I'm sorry.
Look, can we just start again?

Oh, nothing's broken.
Don't worry.

Not that you were...
you were busy.

Ignore me.
You are.

Just... Why wouldn't you?

As you were.
Just...

Oh, I'm tired.

Here we go, Jules.

Home again.

Just wait there.

Oh. I must've brought
the wrong key.

Silly duffer, aren't I?

Louise?

Come on, Julie.

This is a top secret entrance

I'm about to show you.

Now come on you just sit down.

There you go.
There you go there.

Now, this window

has always been a bit dicky.

Ah.

What do you want?

Who are you?

I'm calling the police.

The police?

I mean it.

Please go away.

Julie.

Let's go next door
to the McCormacks, love.

Police?

Is the owner okay?

Oh, she's fine.

We told her
about your father's condition

and she understood.

Thank you so much
for bringing them home safe.

It's no problem.

I'll leave you guys to it.

I'll show you out.

-Thanks.
-Thank you.

I'm sorry.

We went to the zoo and...

the keys,
they didn't work and...

And Louise
had gone to the shops.

-It's okay, Dad.
-And...

people next door,
they weren't home.

My keys, they didn't work.

Shh. It's okay, Dad.

Didn't...

Dad's asleep.

So is Ruby. I just checked.

Thanks.

Oh, God.

-We need to face facts.
-Oh, Dave.

We can't handle Ted
on our own anymore.

If I just kept a closer eye
on him--

Mom. No.

You were only
in the back yard.

You can't have him
by your side

every second of the day.

Well, I can lock the doors.
Hide his keys.

We do that now,
but he still got out.

A nursing home
is our only option.

I think dad's right.

And remember it was Ted
who raised the idea

-in the first place.
-Yeah, I remember.

And I remember telling him

that we would look
after him here.

-Well, things have changed.
-No.

Well, we need to do something.

This is affecting
all of us now, all of us.

You have to see that.

You know anything
could've happened.

To Ted... God forbid to Ruby.
It's a miracle that it didn't.

You know
we can't go on like this.

We have our own lives.

I know it's tough, but we have
to start thinking about that.

Dad wouldn't give up on me.

I'm not going to give up
on him.

Well, what about
the rest of us?

Please just think about it.
For all of our sakes.

I'm sorry. I can't.

So which is it,
monster hangover,

or nightmare day?

Comfort cheese.
It's a dead giveaway.

Oh.

So, you're hungover?

Yeah, I wish.

Today's lesson was if you're
going to abuse a bikie,

don't do it when you're
approaching a red light.

At least you're back
on site tomorrow.

A change is as good
as a holiday

-and all that blah.
-Yeah. Well, yeah.

If your holiday
involves digging trenches.

Right. That's it.

What are you doing?

I am ringing around
and organizing a night out.

I am going to cheer you up
if it kills me.

No, wait, wait, wait,
just wait.

I want to stay home.

Fair enough. But you are
sharing that cheese.

Actually this is great.

I reckon this is exactly
what I need,

a night in at home.

Yeah. Just you and me,
together.

I know what you are doing.

-Really?
-Mm.

And you're okay with this?

I can't say
you're not growing on me.

Wow.

I never realized
you felt that way about me.

What way?

Wait,
what are you talking about?

I was just going to say
that I am still not ready

for a permanent housemate.

Why, what are you
talking about?

Um, yeah.
Exactly what you said.

I'd...

I... Yeah, I want to be
a permanent housemate,

but if it's no go, I am...
I am cool with that.

Are you sure that's what
you... you meant?

I mean, you weren't...

Oh, God. No.

What?

I couldn't think
of anything worse, right?

Yeah.

-I might just go to bed.
-Yeah.

Well,
I better focus on my cheese.

Night.

Night.

So, I did have something a bit
more special for dessert,

but then I ate it for lunch.

Buzz, it's fine.
In fact it's perfect.

Is that you, Jacks?

He's such a dickhead.

He just sits on the couch and
expects me to help out more.

That's his mom's boyfriend.

Yeah, that sucks mate
but maybe you should just

ride it out for tonight, huh?

I'm not going back there.

I'm so sorry about this.

It's really fine.

Mate, you remember Emma,
don't you?

-No.
-You remember.

Then why ask?

Hey, Jackson.
How was school today?

Mate, don't you have some
homework you should be doing?

No. So are you
sleeping over tonight?

Oi.

I'm just saying that Emma
can take my bed

and I'll sleep on the couch.

Well, that's really nice
of you mate,

but isn't there something
you should be doing?

In your room?

Are you sleeping in dad's bed?

'Cause, you know, the walls
are pretty thin here.

All right, that's it.

Um, I should be
going anyway.

-No, don't go.
-Yeah, don't go, Emma.

I've got
an early start tomorrow.

-Are you sure?
-Yeah, it's fine.

Okay.
Well, I'll walk you out.

I'll see you later, Jackson.

Later.

Click. Click. All right?

I'll pick her up as well.

Yeah. That'd be great.

Um, I'll do the shopping later
and take dad with me.

Okay.

He's in the shower.

I didn't say anything.

I'll see you this arvo.

Dave!

Hey, Dave.

Hey, mate.

I wanted to ask you something.

-Well, is it urgent?
-Well, it's about cricket.

Look, I'm a little bit
under the pump at the moment.

Could we talk about it later?

-Yeah. Whatever.
-Okay.

You're just going to take off
in your dumb van anyway.

What are you talking about?

I don't even know why
you're bothering to fix it.

How do you know it's not going
to get wrecked again?

Dude, why didn't you wait
for me?

We could've
travelled in together.

Oh, you know, I just wanted

to, you know,
get an early start.

Yeah, right,
'cause that is so you.

Okay. Honest answer?

Yeah. I'm all ears.

I wanted to get away early
so I didn't have to listen

to you sing in the shower.

-Is that so?
-Yeah.

It's like Celine Dion
being beaten

with a bagful of doorknobs.

And he's back,
ladies and gentlemen!

Hey, about last night...

Um...

Don't worry about it.
It's all good.

I mean,
I know you're going through

a really crap time
at the moment.

Yeah, well, that's true.

Yeah, I mean, you've been
acting weird even for you.

Ah, okay.

Anyway it's, um, you know,

totally natural that you would
probably reach out for someone

as a distraction
or a, you know,

like a shoulder to cry on...

Shoulder, yes.
Cry, yep, that's it.

And we both know
that nothing...

nothing could happen, right?

Yeah, yeah of course. I...

Forget it ever happened?

-What happened?
-Good man.

-Morning, all.
- Good morning.

G'day, boss.

Jackson swung by my place
this morning.

Oh, okay. He must've been
on his way to school.

No, he wasn't wearing
his uniform.

Yeah, he just showed up
at my house last night.

To be honest,
I haven't really had time

to keep an eye on him.

Well, you should make time.

Okay.

He said something
about the kombi.

I reckon it might've been him
who trashed it.

But why would he?

You're his dad.
You tell me.

Well, I have no idea.

Do you reckon
he's capable of doing it?

No.

Well, maybe...

Look, if he did do it,
I'm... I'm sorry.

What kind of a father are you?

Look, I'll pay
for any damage.

No, I don't want you
to pay for it.

I want you to start
taking care of your child,

and get him under control.

Would you like
a drink, Dad?

Dad?

No.

Hi, there. How are you?

Good, thank you.

Have you had anything
to drink today?

No. Oh, actually
just a glass of wine.

Would you mind counting
to ten for me, please?

One, two, three,

-four, five, si--

That's enough, thanks.

Are you sure
you just had the one?

Yes, of course.

Well, I mean...
I mean, it was at home,

so I'm not sure
if it was a standard measure.

You're under. Have a nice day.

-I'm under.
-You're okay to go.

-Drive safe.
- Okay. Thanks.

Jackson.

I'll be out in a minute.

Now, mate.

Did you go
to school today?

Yep.

Then where's your uniform?

Why do you even care?

Because I'm your dad.

Why start now?

Do you want to tell me
what happened here?

How should I know?

You did it, didn't you?

Mate, this is vandalism.

You're bloody lucky
Dave hasn't called the police.

Has this got something to do
with Emma?

Who cares about her?

So what,
is it me you're mad at?

Look if it is,

there's a million things
you could do.

Why wreck Dave's van?

Talk to me.

It has nothing
to do with you.

I couldn't care less
what you do.

Then what? Are you pissed off
at Dave, is that it?

I wasn't pissed off at him!

So, it is about Dave.

What did he ever do to you?

Well, he's not going
anywhere now is he?

What do you mean?

What do you care
if he leaves anyway?

You're so clueless.

G'day, g'day.

You okay?

We were coming home
from the shops

and I got breath tested.

Okay.

I wasn't over, but...

I'd had a drink
during the day.

I never do that.

You were right.

It's too hard.

Come here.

When you're taking back
control of a damaged family,

there are no quick fixes.

But you have
to start somewhere.

It smells great.

Okay. Wine, anybody?
Mom? Dad? Granddad?

-Oh, no. Not for me, thanks.
- No.

Suit yourself.

Yes, I can crack open
a jar of pasta sauce

with the best of them.

Except for the time
that you cracked the jar.

There was one shard
of glass, Dad,

and I picked it out.
Plus I was 12.

Now if you don't want to eat
my cooking--

-Oh, no, no, no, no, no.

Oh.

Protect my plate at all costs.

Yeah, Buzz.
Thanks for calling me back.

Look, I'm just calling
all the parents

to let them know
that cricket training's off

for tomorrow.

And the club's going to have
to find a replacement coach.

Yeah. Well, you know,
family's got to come first

at the moment.

Well, can it wait
'til tomorrow?

Okay, mate.
See you then.

-Cheers. Bye.
-Is everything okay?

Yeah. No problem at all.

Ruby and I found
a baby bird on the verandah.

-Really?
- Yeah.

We put it back up
in the tree, didn't we, Ruby?

It was very good of you.

G'day, boss.

-Traffic?
-Yeah.

All right.
Now, that you're both here,

there's something I've got
to tell you.

I'd like to be on hand
to help out

around the house a bit more.

So from now on, I'm going
to run the jobs from the shed.

Yep. And we'll be on site?

That's right.
Keep your mobile phones on.

Okay. Cool.
No problem with me.

-Yeah, me either.
-Good.

Hey, uh, Dave?
Listen about yesterday, I...

I spoke to Jackson
and you were right.

He did it.

-Okay.
- It's, um,

It's complicated,
but part of the reason

is he thought you were leaving
and he wanted to stop you.

Apparently you said something
about hitting the road.

Anyway it's my fault really.

If I was a better dad
he wouldn't need your... advice.

Well, he's got plenty
of mates, only one dad.

You can't be liked
all the time.

Sometime you've got to make
the tough decisions, you know?

Tough love, eh?

Yeah. Something like that.

Right. Well, listen.
About the kombi--

I don't have time
for that anymore.

-Okay.
-So, if you don't mind

having it
for a couple more days,

I'll get a tow truck along
to pick it up.

Well, it can stay there
as long as you want.

Well, 'til you're ready
to get back into it.

I won't be.

Well, if you're sure.

I am.

I better get on with this, eh?

Emma, hey!

We've got to get going.

One sec.

-Hi.
-Hey.

Uh, I'm sorry
about dinner the other night.

Oh, forget it.

First dates
are meant to be awkward.

Well, it was certainly that.

You saw Jackson
in all his surly glory.

Oh, indeed.

So, uh...

So...

You could be in
for a bumpy ride.

Why are you trying
to get rid of me?

-No. No.
-Buzz. We've got to go.

Because I'm a big girl
and I'll put on a seatbelt.

-Romeo, let's roll.

Whoa.

-Hold that thought.
-I'm holding.
