Packed to the Rafters (2008–2013): Season 6, Episode 9 - Role Reversals - full transcript
Within a family,
we each have a different role.
Ruby, come here, sweetie.
Oh, look at that button.
Good girl.
Your buttons are done up
all funny, aren't they?
Child, parent, grandparent.
♪ You could've been
Just a friend of mine ♪
You all right, Dad?
We change our roles
at any time
without a second thought.
-Want a push do you?
-No.
I've got... No, I don't.
I've got a coffee. No, Dad!
No. Dad, Dad, I've got a coffee!
Oh, what, do you want
to go higher?
Stop.
Dad.
And sometimes,
you can get a little caught
in the middle.
Dad, is there water in that?
Oh, yeah,
we're definitely interested.
The timing
might be good actually.
-Dad?
-Yeah?
Well, you need to put
water in the kettle.
Ah. Who's coming over again?
-Matt and Frankie.
- Why?
Well, it'll be fun.
I haven't seen them for ages.
It's just for lunch.
Just leave it with me
and we'll get back to you
as soon as possible.
Nana Julie,
are you still okay
to look after Edward this arvo?
I've got that charity
seminar with Donna.
-Of course, darling.
-Great.
Darl, there are these things
called cups, you know?
Um, I wanted to save washing up?
-You're going to go blind
staring at that thing all day.
Ooh, that's a bit rich
coming from the one
that sits up playing
-computer games all night.
-Mmm.
He can still make me
feel like a five-year-old
-without even trying.
-Yeah. I know the feeling.
All right. Thanks for the call.
Bye.
Well, that was the nursing home.
The one we like.
They've got a vacancy.
-When?
-Now.
But we have to act fast.
Well, what did you tell them?
Well,
I said we were keen.
It's just a matter
of getting Ted on board.
With what?
You remember that home we went
and had a look at
a few months ago, Dad?
Which house?
No, not a house,
a nursing home.
One you liked, remember?
A room's come up
and we think it might be
a good idea for you to take it.
Why?
Well, you need
looking after now mate.
Proper looking after.
You said I could stay here.
You promised.
Well, we know,
but things have changed.
What? What's changed?
Dad, it's just we...
We can't keep an eye on you
24 hours a day.
And then there's Ruby.
I mean, you left the house
and we didn't know
where you'd gone.
So, I forgot to tell you.
Is that reason enough
to lock me away?
Look, it's not far
and we'll visit all the time.
Look, I know this is tough
but I think
this is what's best
for all of us.
Best for you, you mean?
So you can lock me away
and forget all about me.
Dad, we would never
forget about--
You promised!
This is my home
and I'm bloody well staying.
I must admit
I was surprised
to receive
your application, Gary.
The Marriott, The Four Seasons.
Tough kitchens.
But in London no less.
Dare I suggest
you're overqualified?
I thought you were
going to say under.
Well, this
is a much smaller operation.
We wouldn't want
you getting bored.
Oh, you try working
at those big five star hotels.
You work crazy long hours,
non-stop functions.
It's like factory work
most of the time.
It'd be good
to get back to some...
Some real cooking.
Well, you'd be finished
by ten o'clock here.
Perfect. I could walk home
and be tucked up in bed
by eleven o'clock.
Almost too good to be true.
Well, I suppose being a local
would help you understand
our clientele.
Oh, I imagine
they've got
pretty high expectations
given the kitchen's rep.
He who knows how to flatter
also knows how to slander.
Napoleon.
I'm no French general,
but I cook a pretty mean
beef bourguignon.
We'll see, shall we?
Like a cuppa, Dad?
No, thanks.
You okay?
Of course, love. Why?
Beautiful sweetie.
-How is he?
-Playing his computer game.
Not sure he even remembers
what happened.
-I can't tell anymore.
-Yeah,
maybe we should forget
about lunch.
No, no,
we've still got to eat.
No, I meant having people over.
Yeah, I know what you meant,
but it's fine.
It'd be good to see
someone other than family.
No offense.
So, what now with Granddad?
Well, I have
to call the nursing home.
Take the hold
off the room I suppose.
-He can't stay here.
-Nathan.
No, it's not safe for him
and it's not fair on you guys.
Yeah, well,
we can't drag him there
kicking and screaming either.
What about some sort of carer?
No, far too expensive.
Granddad's got money
with the townhouse.
What about his super?
Yeah, the superfund
took a bit of a hit.
Yeah, well, it wasn't his fault.
No, just bad investments
and bad timing.
Anyway, we can't use it
without his consent.
Oh.
Well, there's got to be
something you can do.
Matt, are you ready to go?
Oh, God.
-I need to get laid.
-Oh, here we go.
Yeah, no, I'm serious.
It's been way too long.
I've got a monkey on my back
the size of King Kong.
It's making me say
and do stupid things.
-I'm just not myself.
Oh, I'm way too sober
for this conversation.
Hey, you know,
I don't mean you, right?
Ah.
Hello?
Hey, Carla, yeah.
-Where are you?
Um, yeah.
No, look, I'd love to.
I've just...
I've got this lunch thing.
I'll come too.
Why didn't you tell me
you were coming?
I can't believe
you just hung up on me.
-Hi, Matt.
- Hi, Carla.
Did you bring
your wetsuit this time?
You're funny.
Hey, my marriage is on the rocks
and I want to get legless
so let's go.
Yeah, well, we...
-We've got this lunch thing.
-Sounds great.
Yeah, no, you can't
really just invite yourself.
-Why not?
-Yeah, why not?
-Because it's rude.
-No, it's not. It's sociable.
Yeah. Dave and Julie won't mind.
Well, we can ask.
They can only say no.
Are you sure you've
got enough to feed one more?
Oh, yeah.
The more the merrier I say.
This is my husband Dave.
- Oh, hi Carla.
-Hi.
-How are you?
-And this is Ted, my father.
Oh, Father Ted.
I loved that show.
-You're not a priest are you?
Oh, he's obviously
caught up in a show.
It's fine. I'm used to it.
My husband barely looks at me.
Arrogant jerk.
So, drinks everyone?
I could make mojitos
if you like?
Have you got any limes?
I usually carry one in my bag
but I just flew in
from Queensland this morning
and they've got that stupid
interstate fruit rule.
Yeah, or beer's fine.
-Yeah, me too.
-I'm happy with wine.
-All right.
-I'm not fussed.
So, are you
Frankie's older sister?
Yeah. Yeah.
We didn't get along for years.
Father issues, you know.
Not that you'd be
interested in any of that.
She's so secretive, isn't she?
She used to speak in this
weird made up language.
-Carla, no, please.
-Like verbs, nouns,
the whole thing to our dog.
Seriously,
a whole 'nother language.
-No one wants to hear this.
- Yeah, we do.
-She even had her own flag.
-I didn't.
You did. It flew above
the dog's kennel
when she was in there.
It was all black.
I mean there were no colors.
It was really a bit morbid
if you ask me.
Children.
They're amazing, aren't they?
Well, she
wasn't that young actually.
Nothing worse
than a thankless daughter.
-What's that Ted?
-Plotting to get rid of me.
Dad, please don't start.
Don't trust her,
don't trust any of them.
I mean it, Dad.
If you haven't got anything
nice to say then--
What?
Don't say anything at all?
I'm not a child, Julie,
so, don't treat me like one.
Then there are some roles
we are forced to play,
whether we want to or not.
-We need more soft drink too.
- Oh, sure.
Hey, thanks again
for having Carla.
Oh, it's no bother. She's fun.
Well, maybe not when you're
the brunt of her stories.
Yeah, well,
it's probably good for me,
a bit of public humiliation.
Oh. Be sure to remind Dad
of that.
Yeah, that must be tough.
No, there's no excuse
to flare like that,
especially when
it's not his fault.
And I don't know how much longer
I've got with him.
He'll probably live
for years but--
Yeah, yeah, but the man
that you know
as your dad is going.
Yeah.
Did you go through any of this
with your dad?
Oh, I was really lucky.
I mean, Dad knew
what was what right up until...
he, um--
Well, this is a cheery party
isn't it?
-Yeah.
-Do you want to go
and get the others in for lunch?
Sure.
- Ted not hungry?
- No, he's asleep.
-This is great.
-Thanks, Julie.
-Hmm. It looks delicious.
-You're welcome.
-Why didn't anyone remind me
that you can't take Donna
around in public?
You can't take Donna
out in public.
Hi, I'm Nathan.
Carla.
-Frankie's sister.
- Ah.
- How'd you go?
-Good, good.
Three sponsors have signed up
and two are thinking about it.
-My boss was very happy.
-Mmm. Do you want one?
Yeah... No, I'm right thanks.
I've got to make a few
follow up calls.
I really like that suit.
You would look great in a suit.
How's the column going?
I haven't seen it in a while.
Oh, hard to find
the time at the moment.
Are you a writer? Me too!
- Yeah, kids' books.
- Oh.
Oh, you remembered.
You're gorgeous.
Writing's so important.
Yeah, it does help you
process things.
As long as they get to read it.
Who?
Before Dad died, I...
I stayed up all night
and I wrote him this letter.
I kind of had this idea
that he would read it
and then everything
would be okay.
I don't know if you remember
but we didn't really get along.
Yeah, no, I remember.
-Did he read it?
-No.
This is what I mean.
He died the same night.
It's freaky.
Um... I'm sorry,
-I'm going to have to go.
-Are you all right?
Yeah, no, I just,
I just I remembered I...
I'm sorry. Thank you.
Was that just me
or was that a little weird?
-I'd say a bit of both.
All okay?
Yeah. Could've done
with the next size up.
-I meant in the kitchen.
-Yeah, great.
Why aren't you in there?
Broke free of the chain.
Yeah, well, look, I've been
checking out the menu.
I've got a few suggestions.
I pay you to cook, not to think.
-Have I done something wrong?
-Not yet.
But I wouldn't put it past you.
I know what men are like.
All right.
We can talk about
the menu later.
What are you doing?
For the beer batter.
Seriously, mate, you are in.
Yeah, well, normally
I'd be like "Oh, shucks",
but in this case it's
embarrassingly transparent.
And she's married.
Your favorite genre.
-Who?
- Oh.
Frankie's crazy sister.
-Older or younger?
-Does it matter?
Of course it matters.
Where you're born
in the family completely
shapes her personality.
Oh, man pianos are,
like, really heavy.
Like, really, really, heavy.
- Poor baby.
-Piano?
I thought you were working
for cousin Christos
-on his building site?
-Mmm-mmm.
No, that was last week.
The poor thing's exhausted.
-He's been working so hard.
-Oh, here, mate.
-Grab one of these and a seat.
-Look, I can't.
I'll slip into a coma
and never come out.
Oh, baby, have you eaten?
Let me make you some food.
No, no, I'm good I'm good.
I'm going to have a shower.
Oh, come on, baby,
I'll run you a bath.
Okay.
-Come in.
Wow, look at you
pulling out all the stops.
Buzz is a lucky guy.
Yeah, well, I have to do
something to hurry him up.
Oh. So, you two still haven't--
No, and it's driving me crazy.
There's only so much kissing
and sweaty hand holding
I can do.
Mmm, sounds frustrating.
It is frustrating, believe me.
-So what's the problem?
-I don't know.
I think Buzz is trying
really hard to be a gentleman.
Oh, that's nice.
How do I look?
Well, if Buzz
doesn't do you, I will.
-So, where's he taking you?
-I don't know.
-It's his favorite restaurant.
-Ooh.
-Which one's that again?
-I don't know.
It's a surprise.
Oh, we're really just here
for one drink right?
No. The Boat Club
is my favorite restaurant.
The parma here is great.
Trust me.
Oh, believe me, I know.
I didn't know you were coming.
I'd have rostered you on.
Just joking.
That wouldn't have been fair
without notice.
Mom runs the restaurant.
-I used to work here.
-Ah. You never said.
Well, I tend not to bring
my CV on dates.
You're on a date? Here?
Well, I was just saying
how good the parmi is here.
Parmigiana.
Yes. Thanks.
Uh, goal attack.
Sorry?
That's your position
in the netball team
that I'm putting together.
-Oh, since when?
-Since today.
We're having a tournament
to raise money
for refugee children.
Sports equipment,
and I can promise you
it'll be fun.
You should. You'd look great
in a netball skirt.
There is genuine skill
involved, you know?
Well, I don't doubt it.
How many players do you need?
Well, actually
the team's full with Emma.
Sorry.
Yeah, so, you'll just have
to find something else to do.
I'm sure you've got
lots of ideas.
Men usually do.
Parmigiana was it?
Oh...
I am so sorry about that.
Mom's had a bit
of a bad run with men.
I think it's affected her.
Thanks.
-So...
- So...
maybe we should start
with some bed, um, bread.
I meant bread.
I'm sure you did.
Mmm.
Gary?
Gary?
Where do you think you're going?
Oh, I'm just
getting a bit of sun.
It's hard to get a good tan
going under those fluorescents.
I'm asking you
a serious question.
Well, I'm just, uh,
grabbing a bit of fresh air
and a coffee.
You can't just take breaks
whenever you feel like it.
Oh, I can actually
if everything's prepped
and running smoothly
and the staff all know
what they're doing.
I'm your boss
and you have
to respect my authority.
-Are you okay?
-You speak to...
-Sorry?
-You seem a bit on edge.
With me I mean.
I'm not really sure
what I've done to deserve it.
Anyway, I just thought
I'd put it out there.
Back in ten.
I got off lightly.
I only had to read four stories.
I hear there's a room going
if you're interested?
Own bathroom,
the food's meant to be good.
And there's heaps of activity...
Yeah. You'd kill it at bingo.
-Did you cancel it?
-No. I figured
I'd give it 24 hours or so.
In case Dad wakes up
a different person?
Well, tomorrow's
another day, Jules.
-Anything could happen.
-Yeah.
I think Carla's a live wire,
isn't she?
And then some.
It was weird
seeing Frankie like that.
-Like what?
-I don't know.
The little sister, I guess.
Mmm. I hope she's okay.
-She left so suddenly.
- Yeah.
If she didn't want dessert,
she could've just said.
Yeah, there's definitely
something going on there.
-Something unresolved.
-Like what?
Her father I think.
-There's a lot of pain there.
-They were very close.
-Yeah.
-Fathers, eh?
Even when they're not here,
they're causing grief.
That didn't come out
the way I meant.
It never does, darling.
Going to be here
awhile, are we?
Or did you just
turn the engine off
-to save the environment?
-Oh, you know me.
Sparkie by day,
Rainbow Warrior by night.
Sorry that sounded all wrong.
Anyway, I suppose
I better be going,
being a school night
and all that.
Is Jackson
staying at your place?
No. I mean,
a school night for me.
Right. Course.
Well, goodnight.
Oh, Emma?
I'll...
I'll call you.
Can I call you?
Sure.
I'll call you. Can I call you?
Did you forget something?
Yeah.
You.
I mean you just can't run
screaming from lunches
every time Dad's
name's mentioned.
You know, and living here
with all of his stuff?
It's just morbid.
Is it true?
Hmm?
-About the letter?
-Yeah.
I really put everything
into it, you know.
My whole heart.
And, you know,
I always suspected
that Dad would do anything
to avoid talking to me.
Dying really takes the cake.
I guess I'll never know, huh?
Oh, what's wrong?
Hey. Hey, come here.
It's all right.
Chicken, I'm sorry.
I'll stop speaking about Dad.
If we'd known,
we never would have done it.
Known what? About the letter?
Oh, don't worry about it.
I was just being a drama queen.
He would've waited.
I know he would've.
What do you mean?
We had a pact.
When the pain got too much...
A pact?
What are you saying?
Did you kill him?
No.
Oh, my God.
Oh, my God.
He asked me right back
when he first found out
about the cancer.
I didn't want to. I didn't...
I didn't think that I could,
but then, you know,
it was like by the end.
There was all
that morphine and...
and he wanted to take more
than he was supposed to.
And I let him.
Oh.
Where are you going?
Please, Carla, don't go.
-Good morning, Buzz.
-Hey.
Oh. So you stayed here
last night?
-Um, yep.
- Yeah, silly question
'cause either that
or you dropped around here
first thing in the morning
in your boxes which is...
-Emma, morning.
-Hey.
Hey.
What are you doing up?
I was going to bring you
a cuppa in bed.
Well, I'm going to make you one.
-So dinner went well?
-Okay. See you, honey.
Look eat without me.
I'll be late tonight.
Oh, baby I'll save you some.
Mmm. G'day, mate.
Cheers. Cool boxers.
Well, you and Frankie
should be finished
about the same time so you can
do the Reynolds job together.
Sweet.
You look pleased with yourself.
Yeah. Life's pretty good.
Yeah. Well, don't infect
the rest of the team
with this happy vibe.
Hey, Carla, um, it's me.
I like my workers to be
as downtrodden as I am.
You're probably
on a flight back already but,
um, please, please call me.
Here she is.
Good morning, Frankie.
-Hey.
-You all right?
Yeah. Um, yeah. I'm...
-I'm sorry about yesterday.
-Oh, no worries.
You haven't seen Matt
in your travels have you?
-No.
-Well, he can meet us on site.
He might've got lucky with a
certain interested party, eh?
Good morning.
You might need this.
-Oh, you're a lifesaver.
-Hey, you all right?
-We were worried about you.
-Yeah. No, I'm fine.
I just... I... It's just, um...
Hey, why don't you, uh,
come inside?
I'd convinced myself
that I'd done
the right thing by Dad and...
now I'm not so sure.
You didn't know what Carla
was planning.
Yeah, but she never got
the chance
to sort things out with him
and that's my fault.
And if I'd just said no to Dad,
then they could've talked
things through.
Now she won't even talk to me.
Well, it must've been a shock.
Do you think I was wrong,
what I did?
I think what you did
was really brave.
You need to forgive yourself.
Thank you.
Thank you.
I'm sure it'll be okay.
Please come.
It's for a good cause.
-Boo!
-Oh.
There are other ways to say
"good morning", you know?
You're right. Sorry.
Good morning, Donna.
Netball and charity.
Not often you see
those two words
in the same sentence.
I hear it's a tough sport.
Pretty physical.
On top of which I'm thinking
of hosting a dinner
to raise additional funds.
I didn't know you could cook?
I'm sorry?
I'll have to get myself
a ticket.
No, no, no. I'm not up... I...
Oh, very funny.
We'll discuss the menu later.
This dinner, it'd be on top
of my regular duties, right?
-Well, that's right.
-Well, I'm not interested
in working 'til all hours.
You know that.
Well, you would be donating
your time.
That's why it's called charity.
If I'm donating my time,
that means it'd be
up to me, right?
I told you in the interview,
I'm done with functions,
I'm done with working
'til all hours.
Well, you know what?
I think I'm done with you.
What? What are you
talking about?
-You're fired.
-What?
Goodbye, Gary.
I'd say it's been a pleasure
but my mother taught me
not to lie.
I don't meant to be rude,
you are bloody bonkers!
Just get yourself
over here.
Unless you're sick
of me already?
No, Emma.
I've got dinner covered.
Just bring yourself
and an appetite.
Oh, I reckon I just lost mine.
Really?
Uh, just hang on a second.
I'm gonna have to call you back.
-Jackson?
- What?
Come in here for a sec.
If you want to borrow
a couple, Dad, you can just ask.
Why are these in your bag?
Why were you looking?
Mate, this is serious.
Are you having sex?
-None of your business.
-Yeah, it is.
-No, it's not.
-Jackson, I'm your father.
-And I'm 15.
-And that's way too young
-to be having sex.
-It wasn't for you.
That was a mistake.
So, are you saying
I'm a mistake!?
No, oh...
Okay. So, you dragged him
inside by the hair...
Oh, no. I never said that.
Well, maybe I embellished
that bit in my mind
but then what happened?
Then we went to bed.
Mmm-hmm. And then?
And then that's the end
of the story.
No, it's not.
It's just the beginning.
-Come on, I want details.
-No. No details.
Oh, come on,
but I really want to know.
Know what?
Nothing.
Hey, honey. How's my man?
Mmm-hmm. Yeah.
Hey, we've made dinner.
I'm cool. I'm just gonna...
gonna to sit down.
-Honey?
- Hm?
I'll put the pasta on.
-Honey?
- Hm?
-Come on. Hey?
-Mm.
You don't have anything
to prove, you know?
Not to me, not to anyone.
I don't know what you're
talking about.
You don't have to bust a gut
being the bread winner.
Look, it's just for a while.
Yeah, but you're so tired
all the time.
We never get to hang out.
-Mm.
-I miss my funny guy.
-Mm.
-I'd rather be poor
-than never get to see you.
-Mm.
Dad? Bed time.
No.
-Yep. Come on. It's late.
Where's my shoes?
No. You don't need your shoes.
Yes, I do.
I've got to go to work.
You're going to bed, Dad.
Oh, I'll be late.
Come on, Ted. I'll take you.
Wait, wait.
Give me a hug, Louie.
Mm, that's my girl.
Hey?
Hmm.

-Get off me!
-Ted, Ted, calm down.
-It's all right.
-I've got to go. I'm late.
No, mate,
you've had an accident.
I've got to pick up Julie.
Dad, I'm right here.
Not you, Julie. She's at school.
I've got to pick her up.
Mate, he's got dementia.
-Let go of me!
-Granddad,
you've been hit by a car, okay?
-You need to go to hospital.
-Dad...
-Get off me.
-Dad, please stop.
Please...
Ted, are you all right?
♪ The frost
Is slowly falling ♪
♪ In my heart,
It's calling you ♪
♪ Ice is slowly melting away ♪
♪ Let's forget all the things
That we say ♪
I didn't order anything.
Carla.
It's me, it's Frankie.
Please just open the door.
Wrong room. Go away.
I'm not leaving.
I'm not talking about anything.
Okay.
You can't hide out here
forever, you know?
Why not?
I have a credit card.
Robbie's worried about you.
Well, I'm sure that he has
some secretary to dull the pain.
I was worried about you too.
Yeah.
Well, I just needed some time
to think.
Work out how I felt.
Dad would never have asked me
to do something like that.
He'd know I wouldn't have
the guts.
Yeah, you would.
Yeah, 'cause when you called
to say come in, I thought,
you know,
she's going to be a mess,
but you were so calm.
Now it all makes sense.
I wish I'd known
about the letter.
Yeah. Okay.
I'm so sorry.
It's okay, chicken.
It's okay.
Hey.
It's the return
of the sleep walker.
How are you feeling?
A bit battered and bruised,
but otherwise okay.
Well, you took on a car
and won, Granddad.
I'm impressed.
I might just put the kettle on.
I want to lie down.
All right, come on.
Are you okay?
What are we going to do?
We locked all the doors
and he still manages to get out.
That offer of a cup of tea
still going?
Yeah.
-Is everything all right?
-Uh, no, it's not actually.
Well, why are you all
just standing around?
We have closed the kitchen,
indefinitely.
What?
If there's a problem,
I should be told.
The problem is you firing Gary.
-I beg your pardon?
-He's a great chef,
fantastic teacher, top bloke.
We're on strike until you
reinstate him.
-But that's mutiny.
-Whatever.
Until he's back,
the kitchen's closed.
Well said.
Good morning, Donna.
Gary.
A little bit more notice
next time, please,
so I've got time to get changed.
Just get into the kitchen.
Don't even think it.
How are you feeling, Dad?
Um, this is my bank information,
account numbers,
passwords, etcetera,
so you'll be able to pay
for the nursing home.
-Dad--
-I'm not finished.
Now, power of attorney
so you'll be able to act
on my behalf as soon
as it's signed and witnessed.
Dave?
I saw last night
what this is doing to you.
And you need to be able to do
what you have to.
No matter what I say,
no matter what I do.
Dad.
Oh, it's time, Jules.
It's time.
Yep. Got it.
I'll transfer the deposit
as soon as possible.
Yeah, and once that's locked in?
Sure. Yeah, I'll bring
the paperwork when we come in.
Yeah, sure. Uh-huh.
Dave?
Okay, well, we'll speak
to you soon then.
Bye. What's the matter?
Has he given you the wrong
pin number?
No, no, no, I'm in, but the
account's almost empty.
-Are you in the right account?
-Yeah.
What, are you sure?
Maybe there's more than one.
No, no, no, no,
it's the right account.
-It's...
-Okay.
There's got to be some sort
of explanation.
Just bring up a statement.
$15,000, $6,000,
$50,000... what?
International Texas Holdem.
What, that game he's been
playing online?
Oh, no.
It must've been for real money.
Oh, no.
Well, there must be
something you can do?
Sorry?
No, that's what
I'm trying to say.
He didn't know
what he was doing.
He's got dementia.
Hello?
Hello?
Some bloody Hong Kong mob.
Couldn't care less.
I'll call the ombudsman
tomorrow, the bank.
What, do you think they'll help?
Well, I'll be calling
a lawyer if they don't.
I mean, the man's not well.
There's no way that should
be allowed to happen.
Is everything all right?
Yeah. Go back to bed, Dad.
It's fine.
It doesn't sound fine.
Oh, we were just fighting
over the computer.
Ah. You'll go blind staring
at that screen all day.
- Yeah.
- Night, Dad.
How are we going to pay
for his room?
Well, Ted wouldn't be
the first bloke
with no money who needs care.
There must be provisions,
somewhere cheaper?
No, no, Ted chose this place.
Yeah, when he had the money
to pay for it.
Well, it was the last clear
decision he made.
I have to honor it.
He wouldn't want us to put
his needs above our own.
Dave, it makes it easier
knowing he likes it there.
Maybe we should sell the house?
Jules, you're overreacting.
Well, we could pay
for Dad's care
and we'd still have enough
left over
-for something smaller.
-No, Jules.
We might still get the money
back anyway
and if we don't,
we'll remortgage,
we'll do something.
We're not selling the house.
Hey, Em, look,
I'm sorry about cancelling
dinner last night.
Cancelling it, I don't mind.
It's the no explanation part
that was weird.
I know, it's family stuff.
Okay. That's fair.
So, are we taking
a rain check or...
Well, that's the thing. I...
Right. Wow.
I guess I really misread this.
No, look, Em, it's not you,
okay? I...
I found condoms
in Jackson's bag.
Well, anyway, I just...
I don't know if now's
a good time
to be starting something
and it's not about me,
it's... it's about Jackson.
If this is your way of getting
out of our relationship--
No, it's not. I promise.
I just...
I'm trying to do
the dad thing, you know?
Well, if you really
don't have time
for a relationship right now,
that's cool,
but don't think I'm some sort
of princess
that needs the world
to revolve around her.
Because I'm not.
Look, all I'm saying is
you don't have to choose
between your son and me.
You can have both.
So, that's it?
The money's gone?
That's what the lawyer said.
But I could try another firm.
God.
What are we going to do now?
We'll have to consider
other options.
What, another mortgage?
Yeah, I guess.
Darling,
there is another option.
-No, Jules.
-Just think about it.
It's our biggest asset.
-I mean, we almost own it--
-Well, I don't want to.
It will pay for Dad's bond
and then, you know,
it'll leave something for us
to buy something smaller.
Yeah, well, what about the kids?
Well, we'll always find
room for them.
Maybe it's time for a change?
But it's the only stable home
I've ever had.
I don't think I can.
Okay. All right.
Well, we'll just...
We'll ring the bank.
We'll get another loan.
Well, I've done the maths.
I'm actually going to be working
'til I'm 112.
Oh, maybe not.
Maybe we'll win lotto.
Or rob a bank.
How hard can it be?
Are you all right, Dad?
Just thirsty.
- Come here.
- What?
You're done up all funny.
As we get older, the roles
we play in life reverse.
Children grow up,
become parents.
Parents become children
with all the responsibilities
that involves.
-Goodnight.
-Goodnight, Dad.
Goodnight, Ted.
♪ My, my, my, my ♪
♪ Oh, give me love ♪
It's just a house.
What?
Here.
It's just bricks and mortar.

You all right, Dad?
We change our roles
at any time
without a second thought.
-Want a push do you?
-No.
I've got... No, I don't.
I've got a coffee. No, Dad!
No. Dad, Dad, I've got a coffee!
Oh, what, do you want
to go higher?
Stop.
Dad.
And sometimes,
you can get a little caught
in the middle.
Dad, is there water in that?
Oh, yeah,
we're definitely interested.
The timing
might be good actually.
-Dad?
-Yeah?
Well, you need to put
water in the kettle.
Ah. Who's coming over again?
-Matt and Frankie.
- Why?
Well, it'll be fun.
I haven't seen them for ages.
It's just for lunch.
Just leave it with me
and we'll get back to you
as soon as possible.
Nana Julie,
are you still okay
to look after Edward this arvo?
I've got that charity
seminar with Donna.
-Of course, darling.
-Great.
Darl, there are these things
called cups, you know?
Um, I wanted to save washing up?
-You're going to go blind
staring at that thing all day.
Ooh, that's a bit rich
coming from the one
that sits up playing
-computer games all night.
-Mmm.
He can still make me
feel like a five-year-old
-without even trying.
-Yeah. I know the feeling.
All right. Thanks for the call.
Bye.
Well, that was the nursing home.
The one we like.
They've got a vacancy.
-When?
-Now.
But we have to act fast.
Well, what did you tell them?
Well,
I said we were keen.
It's just a matter
of getting Ted on board.
With what?
You remember that home we went
and had a look at
a few months ago, Dad?
Which house?
No, not a house,
a nursing home.
One you liked, remember?
A room's come up
and we think it might be
a good idea for you to take it.
Why?
Well, you need
looking after now mate.
Proper looking after.
You said I could stay here.
You promised.
Well, we know,
but things have changed.
What? What's changed?
Dad, it's just we...
We can't keep an eye on you
24 hours a day.
And then there's Ruby.
I mean, you left the house
and we didn't know
where you'd gone.
So, I forgot to tell you.
Is that reason enough
to lock me away?
Look, it's not far
and we'll visit all the time.
Look, I know this is tough
but I think
this is what's best
for all of us.
Best for you, you mean?
So you can lock me away
and forget all about me.
Dad, we would never
forget about--
You promised!
This is my home
and I'm bloody well staying.
I must admit
I was surprised
to receive
your application, Gary.
The Marriott, The Four Seasons.
Tough kitchens.
But in London no less.
Dare I suggest
you're overqualified?
I thought you were
going to say under.
Well, this
is a much smaller operation.
We wouldn't want
you getting bored.
Oh, you try working
at those big five star hotels.
You work crazy long hours,
non-stop functions.
It's like factory work
most of the time.
It'd be good
to get back to some...
Some real cooking.
Well, you'd be finished
by ten o'clock here.
Perfect. I could walk home
and be tucked up in bed
by eleven o'clock.
Almost too good to be true.
Well, I suppose being a local
would help you understand
our clientele.
Oh, I imagine
they've got
pretty high expectations
given the kitchen's rep.
He who knows how to flatter
also knows how to slander.
Napoleon.
I'm no French general,
but I cook a pretty mean
beef bourguignon.
We'll see, shall we?
Like a cuppa, Dad?
No, thanks.
You okay?
Of course, love. Why?
Beautiful sweetie.
-How is he?
-Playing his computer game.
Not sure he even remembers
what happened.
-I can't tell anymore.
-Yeah,
maybe we should forget
about lunch.
No, no,
we've still got to eat.
No, I meant having people over.
Yeah, I know what you meant,
but it's fine.
It'd be good to see
someone other than family.
No offense.
So, what now with Granddad?
Well, I have
to call the nursing home.
Take the hold
off the room I suppose.
-He can't stay here.
-Nathan.
No, it's not safe for him
and it's not fair on you guys.
Yeah, well,
we can't drag him there
kicking and screaming either.
What about some sort of carer?
No, far too expensive.
Granddad's got money
with the townhouse.
What about his super?
Yeah, the superfund
took a bit of a hit.
Yeah, well, it wasn't his fault.
No, just bad investments
and bad timing.
Anyway, we can't use it
without his consent.
Oh.
Well, there's got to be
something you can do.
Matt, are you ready to go?
Oh, God.
-I need to get laid.
-Oh, here we go.
Yeah, no, I'm serious.
It's been way too long.
I've got a monkey on my back
the size of King Kong.
It's making me say
and do stupid things.
-I'm just not myself.
Oh, I'm way too sober
for this conversation.
Hey, you know,
I don't mean you, right?
Ah.
Hello?
Hey, Carla, yeah.
-Where are you?
Um, yeah.
No, look, I'd love to.
I've just...
I've got this lunch thing.
I'll come too.
Why didn't you tell me
you were coming?
I can't believe
you just hung up on me.
-Hi, Matt.
- Hi, Carla.
Did you bring
your wetsuit this time?
You're funny.
Hey, my marriage is on the rocks
and I want to get legless
so let's go.
Yeah, well, we...
-We've got this lunch thing.
-Sounds great.
Yeah, no, you can't
really just invite yourself.
-Why not?
-Yeah, why not?
-Because it's rude.
-No, it's not. It's sociable.
Yeah. Dave and Julie won't mind.
Well, we can ask.
They can only say no.
Are you sure you've
got enough to feed one more?
Oh, yeah.
The more the merrier I say.
This is my husband Dave.
- Oh, hi Carla.
-Hi.
-How are you?
-And this is Ted, my father.
Oh, Father Ted.
I loved that show.
-You're not a priest are you?
Oh, he's obviously
caught up in a show.
It's fine. I'm used to it.
My husband barely looks at me.
Arrogant jerk.
So, drinks everyone?
I could make mojitos
if you like?
Have you got any limes?
I usually carry one in my bag
but I just flew in
from Queensland this morning
and they've got that stupid
interstate fruit rule.
Yeah, or beer's fine.
-Yeah, me too.
-I'm happy with wine.
-All right.
-I'm not fussed.
So, are you
Frankie's older sister?
Yeah. Yeah.
We didn't get along for years.
Father issues, you know.
Not that you'd be
interested in any of that.
She's so secretive, isn't she?
She used to speak in this
weird made up language.
-Carla, no, please.
-Like verbs, nouns,
the whole thing to our dog.
Seriously,
a whole 'nother language.
-No one wants to hear this.
- Yeah, we do.
-She even had her own flag.
-I didn't.
You did. It flew above
the dog's kennel
when she was in there.
It was all black.
I mean there were no colors.
It was really a bit morbid
if you ask me.
Children.
They're amazing, aren't they?
Well, she
wasn't that young actually.
Nothing worse
than a thankless daughter.
-What's that Ted?
-Plotting to get rid of me.
Dad, please don't start.
Don't trust her,
don't trust any of them.
I mean it, Dad.
If you haven't got anything
nice to say then--
What?
Don't say anything at all?
I'm not a child, Julie,
so, don't treat me like one.
Then there are some roles
we are forced to play,
whether we want to or not.
-We need more soft drink too.
- Oh, sure.
Hey, thanks again
for having Carla.
Oh, it's no bother. She's fun.
Well, maybe not when you're
the brunt of her stories.
Yeah, well,
it's probably good for me,
a bit of public humiliation.
Oh. Be sure to remind Dad
of that.
Yeah, that must be tough.
No, there's no excuse
to flare like that,
especially when
it's not his fault.
And I don't know how much longer
I've got with him.
He'll probably live
for years but--
Yeah, yeah, but the man
that you know
as your dad is going.
Yeah.
Did you go through any of this
with your dad?
Oh, I was really lucky.
I mean, Dad knew
what was what right up until...
he, um--
Well, this is a cheery party
isn't it?
-Yeah.
-Do you want to go
and get the others in for lunch?
Sure.
- Ted not hungry?
- No, he's asleep.
-This is great.
-Thanks, Julie.
-Hmm. It looks delicious.
-You're welcome.
-Why didn't anyone remind me
that you can't take Donna
around in public?
You can't take Donna
out in public.
Hi, I'm Nathan.
Carla.
-Frankie's sister.
- Ah.
- How'd you go?
-Good, good.
Three sponsors have signed up
and two are thinking about it.
-My boss was very happy.
-Mmm. Do you want one?
Yeah... No, I'm right thanks.
I've got to make a few
follow up calls.
I really like that suit.
You would look great in a suit.
How's the column going?
I haven't seen it in a while.
Oh, hard to find
the time at the moment.
Are you a writer? Me too!
- Yeah, kids' books.
- Oh.
Oh, you remembered.
You're gorgeous.
Writing's so important.
Yeah, it does help you
process things.
As long as they get to read it.
Who?
Before Dad died, I...
I stayed up all night
and I wrote him this letter.
I kind of had this idea
that he would read it
and then everything
would be okay.
I don't know if you remember
but we didn't really get along.
Yeah, no, I remember.
-Did he read it?
-No.
This is what I mean.
He died the same night.
It's freaky.
Um... I'm sorry,
-I'm going to have to go.
-Are you all right?
Yeah, no, I just,
I just I remembered I...
I'm sorry. Thank you.
Was that just me
or was that a little weird?
-I'd say a bit of both.
All okay?
Yeah. Could've done
with the next size up.
-I meant in the kitchen.
-Yeah, great.
Why aren't you in there?
Broke free of the chain.
Yeah, well, look, I've been
checking out the menu.
I've got a few suggestions.
I pay you to cook, not to think.
-Have I done something wrong?
-Not yet.
But I wouldn't put it past you.
I know what men are like.
All right.
We can talk about
the menu later.
What are you doing?
For the beer batter.
Seriously, mate, you are in.
Yeah, well, normally
I'd be like "Oh, shucks",
but in this case it's
embarrassingly transparent.
And she's married.
Your favorite genre.
-Who?
- Oh.
Frankie's crazy sister.
-Older or younger?
-Does it matter?
Of course it matters.
Where you're born
in the family completely
shapes her personality.
Oh, man pianos are,
like, really heavy.
Like, really, really, heavy.
- Poor baby.
-Piano?
I thought you were working
for cousin Christos
-on his building site?
-Mmm-mmm.
No, that was last week.
The poor thing's exhausted.
-He's been working so hard.
-Oh, here, mate.
-Grab one of these and a seat.
-Look, I can't.
I'll slip into a coma
and never come out.
Oh, baby, have you eaten?
Let me make you some food.
No, no, I'm good I'm good.
I'm going to have a shower.
Oh, come on, baby,
I'll run you a bath.
Okay.
-Come in.
Wow, look at you
pulling out all the stops.
Buzz is a lucky guy.
Yeah, well, I have to do
something to hurry him up.
Oh. So, you two still haven't--
No, and it's driving me crazy.
There's only so much kissing
and sweaty hand holding
I can do.
Mmm, sounds frustrating.
It is frustrating, believe me.
-So what's the problem?
-I don't know.
I think Buzz is trying
really hard to be a gentleman.
Oh, that's nice.
How do I look?
Well, if Buzz
doesn't do you, I will.
-So, where's he taking you?
-I don't know.
-It's his favorite restaurant.
-Ooh.
-Which one's that again?
-I don't know.
It's a surprise.
Oh, we're really just here
for one drink right?
No. The Boat Club
is my favorite restaurant.
The parma here is great.
Trust me.
Oh, believe me, I know.
I didn't know you were coming.
I'd have rostered you on.
Just joking.
That wouldn't have been fair
without notice.
Mom runs the restaurant.
-I used to work here.
-Ah. You never said.
Well, I tend not to bring
my CV on dates.
You're on a date? Here?
Well, I was just saying
how good the parmi is here.
Parmigiana.
Yes. Thanks.
Uh, goal attack.
Sorry?
That's your position
in the netball team
that I'm putting together.
-Oh, since when?
-Since today.
We're having a tournament
to raise money
for refugee children.
Sports equipment,
and I can promise you
it'll be fun.
You should. You'd look great
in a netball skirt.
There is genuine skill
involved, you know?
Well, I don't doubt it.
How many players do you need?
Well, actually
the team's full with Emma.
Sorry.
Yeah, so, you'll just have
to find something else to do.
I'm sure you've got
lots of ideas.
Men usually do.
Parmigiana was it?
Oh...
I am so sorry about that.
Mom's had a bit
of a bad run with men.
I think it's affected her.
Thanks.
-So...
- So...
maybe we should start
with some bed, um, bread.
I meant bread.
I'm sure you did.
Mmm.
Gary?
Gary?
Where do you think you're going?
Oh, I'm just
getting a bit of sun.
It's hard to get a good tan
going under those fluorescents.
I'm asking you
a serious question.
Well, I'm just, uh,
grabbing a bit of fresh air
and a coffee.
You can't just take breaks
whenever you feel like it.
Oh, I can actually
if everything's prepped
and running smoothly
and the staff all know
what they're doing.
I'm your boss
and you have
to respect my authority.
-Are you okay?
-You speak to...
-Sorry?
-You seem a bit on edge.
With me I mean.
I'm not really sure
what I've done to deserve it.
Anyway, I just thought
I'd put it out there.
Back in ten.
I got off lightly.
I only had to read four stories.
I hear there's a room going
if you're interested?
Own bathroom,
the food's meant to be good.
And there's heaps of activity...
Yeah. You'd kill it at bingo.
-Did you cancel it?
-No. I figured
I'd give it 24 hours or so.
In case Dad wakes up
a different person?
Well, tomorrow's
another day, Jules.
-Anything could happen.
-Yeah.
I think Carla's a live wire,
isn't she?
And then some.
It was weird
seeing Frankie like that.
-Like what?
-I don't know.
The little sister, I guess.
Mmm. I hope she's okay.
-She left so suddenly.
- Yeah.
If she didn't want dessert,
she could've just said.
Yeah, there's definitely
something going on there.
-Something unresolved.
-Like what?
Her father I think.
-There's a lot of pain there.
-They were very close.
-Yeah.
-Fathers, eh?
Even when they're not here,
they're causing grief.
That didn't come out
the way I meant.
It never does, darling.
Going to be here
awhile, are we?
Or did you just
turn the engine off
-to save the environment?
-Oh, you know me.
Sparkie by day,
Rainbow Warrior by night.
Sorry that sounded all wrong.
Anyway, I suppose
I better be going,
being a school night
and all that.
Is Jackson
staying at your place?
No. I mean,
a school night for me.
Right. Course.
Well, goodnight.
Oh, Emma?
I'll...
I'll call you.
Can I call you?
Sure.
I'll call you. Can I call you?
Did you forget something?
Yeah.
You.
I mean you just can't run
screaming from lunches
every time Dad's
name's mentioned.
You know, and living here
with all of his stuff?
It's just morbid.
Is it true?
Hmm?
-About the letter?
-Yeah.
I really put everything
into it, you know.
My whole heart.
And, you know,
I always suspected
that Dad would do anything
to avoid talking to me.
Dying really takes the cake.
I guess I'll never know, huh?
Oh, what's wrong?
Hey. Hey, come here.
It's all right.
Chicken, I'm sorry.
I'll stop speaking about Dad.
If we'd known,
we never would have done it.
Known what? About the letter?
Oh, don't worry about it.
I was just being a drama queen.
He would've waited.
I know he would've.
What do you mean?
We had a pact.
When the pain got too much...
A pact?
What are you saying?
Did you kill him?
No.
Oh, my God.
Oh, my God.
He asked me right back
when he first found out
about the cancer.
I didn't want to. I didn't...
I didn't think that I could,
but then, you know,
it was like by the end.
There was all
that morphine and...
and he wanted to take more
than he was supposed to.
And I let him.
Oh.
Where are you going?
Please, Carla, don't go.
-Good morning, Buzz.
-Hey.
Oh. So you stayed here
last night?
-Um, yep.
- Yeah, silly question
'cause either that
or you dropped around here
first thing in the morning
in your boxes which is...
-Emma, morning.
-Hey.
Hey.
What are you doing up?
I was going to bring you
a cuppa in bed.
Well, I'm going to make you one.
-So dinner went well?
-Okay. See you, honey.
Look eat without me.
I'll be late tonight.
Oh, baby I'll save you some.
Mmm. G'day, mate.
Cheers. Cool boxers.
Well, you and Frankie
should be finished
about the same time so you can
do the Reynolds job together.
Sweet.
You look pleased with yourself.
Yeah. Life's pretty good.
Yeah. Well, don't infect
the rest of the team
with this happy vibe.
Hey, Carla, um, it's me.
I like my workers to be
as downtrodden as I am.
You're probably
on a flight back already but,
um, please, please call me.
Here she is.
Good morning, Frankie.
-Hey.
-You all right?
Yeah. Um, yeah. I'm...
-I'm sorry about yesterday.
-Oh, no worries.
You haven't seen Matt
in your travels have you?
-No.
-Well, he can meet us on site.
He might've got lucky with a
certain interested party, eh?
Good morning.
You might need this.
-Oh, you're a lifesaver.
-Hey, you all right?
-We were worried about you.
-Yeah. No, I'm fine.
I just... I... It's just, um...
Hey, why don't you, uh,
come inside?
I'd convinced myself
that I'd done
the right thing by Dad and...
now I'm not so sure.
You didn't know what Carla
was planning.
Yeah, but she never got
the chance
to sort things out with him
and that's my fault.
And if I'd just said no to Dad,
then they could've talked
things through.
Now she won't even talk to me.
Well, it must've been a shock.
Do you think I was wrong,
what I did?
I think what you did
was really brave.
You need to forgive yourself.
Thank you.
Thank you.
I'm sure it'll be okay.
Please come.
It's for a good cause.
-Boo!
-Oh.
There are other ways to say
"good morning", you know?
You're right. Sorry.
Good morning, Donna.
Netball and charity.
Not often you see
those two words
in the same sentence.
I hear it's a tough sport.
Pretty physical.
On top of which I'm thinking
of hosting a dinner
to raise additional funds.
I didn't know you could cook?
I'm sorry?
I'll have to get myself
a ticket.
No, no, no. I'm not up... I...
Oh, very funny.
We'll discuss the menu later.
This dinner, it'd be on top
of my regular duties, right?
-Well, that's right.
-Well, I'm not interested
in working 'til all hours.
You know that.
Well, you would be donating
your time.
That's why it's called charity.
If I'm donating my time,
that means it'd be
up to me, right?
I told you in the interview,
I'm done with functions,
I'm done with working
'til all hours.
Well, you know what?
I think I'm done with you.
What? What are you
talking about?
-You're fired.
-What?
Goodbye, Gary.
I'd say it's been a pleasure
but my mother taught me
not to lie.
I don't meant to be rude,
you are bloody bonkers!
Just get yourself
over here.
Unless you're sick
of me already?
No, Emma.
I've got dinner covered.
Just bring yourself
and an appetite.
Oh, I reckon I just lost mine.
Really?
Uh, just hang on a second.
I'm gonna have to call you back.
-Jackson?
- What?
Come in here for a sec.
If you want to borrow
a couple, Dad, you can just ask.
Why are these in your bag?
Why were you looking?
Mate, this is serious.
Are you having sex?
-None of your business.
-Yeah, it is.
-No, it's not.
-Jackson, I'm your father.
-And I'm 15.
-And that's way too young
-to be having sex.
-It wasn't for you.
That was a mistake.
So, are you saying
I'm a mistake!?
No, oh...
Okay. So, you dragged him
inside by the hair...
Oh, no. I never said that.
Well, maybe I embellished
that bit in my mind
but then what happened?
Then we went to bed.
Mmm-hmm. And then?
And then that's the end
of the story.
No, it's not.
It's just the beginning.
-Come on, I want details.
-No. No details.
Oh, come on,
but I really want to know.
Know what?
Nothing.
Hey, honey. How's my man?
Mmm-hmm. Yeah.
Hey, we've made dinner.
I'm cool. I'm just gonna...
gonna to sit down.
-Honey?
- Hm?
I'll put the pasta on.
-Honey?
- Hm?
-Come on. Hey?
-Mm.
You don't have anything
to prove, you know?
Not to me, not to anyone.
I don't know what you're
talking about.
You don't have to bust a gut
being the bread winner.
Look, it's just for a while.
Yeah, but you're so tired
all the time.
We never get to hang out.
-Mm.
-I miss my funny guy.
-Mm.
-I'd rather be poor
-than never get to see you.
-Mm.
Dad? Bed time.
No.
-Yep. Come on. It's late.
Where's my shoes?
No. You don't need your shoes.
Yes, I do.
I've got to go to work.
You're going to bed, Dad.
Oh, I'll be late.
Come on, Ted. I'll take you.
Wait, wait.
Give me a hug, Louie.
Mm, that's my girl.

Hmm.

No, mate,
you've had an accident.
I've got to pick up Julie.
Dad, I'm right here.
Not you, Julie. She's at school.
I've got to pick her up.
Mate, he's got dementia.
-Let go of me!
-Granddad,
you've been hit by a car, okay?
-You need to go to hospital.
-Dad...

I didn't order anything.
Carla.
It's me, it's Frankie.
Please just open the door.
Wrong room. Go away.
I'm not leaving.
I'm not talking about anything.
Okay.
You can't hide out here
forever, you know?
Why not?
I have a credit card.
Robbie's worried about you.
Well, I'm sure that he has
some secretary to dull the pain.
I was worried about you too.
Yeah.
Well, I just needed some time
to think.
Work out how I felt.
Dad would never have asked me
to do something like that.
He'd know I wouldn't have
the guts.
Yeah, you would.
Yeah, 'cause when you called
to say come in, I thought,
you know,
she's going to be a mess,
but you were so calm.
Now it all makes sense.
I wish I'd known
about the letter.
Yeah. Okay.
I'm so sorry.
It's okay, chicken.
It's okay.
Hey.
It's the return
of the sleep walker.
How are you feeling?
A bit battered and bruised,
but otherwise okay.
Well, you took on a car
and won, Granddad.
I'm impressed.
I might just put the kettle on.
I want to lie down.
All right, come on.
Are you okay?
What are we going to do?
We locked all the doors
and he still manages to get out.
That offer of a cup of tea
still going?
Yeah.
-Is everything all right?
-Uh, no, it's not actually.
Well, why are you all
just standing around?
We have closed the kitchen,
indefinitely.
What?
If there's a problem,
I should be told.
The problem is you firing Gary.
-I beg your pardon?
-He's a great chef,
fantastic teacher, top bloke.
We're on strike until you
reinstate him.
-But that's mutiny.
-Whatever.
Until he's back,
the kitchen's closed.
Well said.
Good morning, Donna.
Gary.
A little bit more notice
next time, please,
so I've got time to get changed.
Just get into the kitchen.
Don't even think it.
How are you feeling, Dad?
Um, this is my bank information,
account numbers,
passwords, etcetera,
so you'll be able to pay
for the nursing home.
-Dad--
-I'm not finished.
Now, power of attorney
so you'll be able to act
on my behalf as soon
as it's signed and witnessed.
Dave?
I saw last night
what this is doing to you.
And you need to be able to do
what you have to.
No matter what I say,
no matter what I do.
Dad.
Oh, it's time, Jules.
It's time.
Yep. Got it.
I'll transfer the deposit
as soon as possible.
Yeah, and once that's locked in?
Sure. Yeah, I'll bring
the paperwork when we come in.
Yeah, sure. Uh-huh.
Dave?
Okay, well, we'll speak
to you soon then.
Bye. What's the matter?
Has he given you the wrong
pin number?
No, no, no, I'm in, but the
account's almost empty.
-Are you in the right account?
-Yeah.
What, are you sure?
Maybe there's more than one.
No, no, no, no,
it's the right account.
-It's...
-Okay.
There's got to be some sort
of explanation.
Just bring up a statement.
$15,000, $6,000,
$50,000... what?
International Texas Holdem.
What, that game he's been
playing online?
Oh, no.
It must've been for real money.
Oh, no.
Well, there must be
something you can do?
Sorry?
No, that's what
I'm trying to say.
He didn't know
what he was doing.
He's got dementia.
Hello?
Hello?
Some bloody Hong Kong mob.
Couldn't care less.
I'll call the ombudsman
tomorrow, the bank.
What, do you think they'll help?
Well, I'll be calling
a lawyer if they don't.
I mean, the man's not well.
There's no way that should
be allowed to happen.
Is everything all right?
Yeah. Go back to bed, Dad.
It's fine.
It doesn't sound fine.
Oh, we were just fighting
over the computer.
Ah. You'll go blind staring
at that screen all day.
- Yeah.
- Night, Dad.
How are we going to pay
for his room?
Well, Ted wouldn't be
the first bloke
with no money who needs care.
There must be provisions,
somewhere cheaper?
No, no, Ted chose this place.
Yeah, when he had the money
to pay for it.
Well, it was the last clear
decision he made.
I have to honor it.
He wouldn't want us to put
his needs above our own.
Dave, it makes it easier
knowing he likes it there.
Maybe we should sell the house?
Jules, you're overreacting.
Well, we could pay
for Dad's care
and we'd still have enough
left over
-for something smaller.
-No, Jules.
We might still get the money
back anyway
and if we don't,
we'll remortgage,
we'll do something.
We're not selling the house.
Hey, Em, look,
I'm sorry about cancelling
dinner last night.
Cancelling it, I don't mind.
It's the no explanation part
that was weird.
I know, it's family stuff.
Okay. That's fair.
So, are we taking
a rain check or...
Well, that's the thing. I...
Right. Wow.
I guess I really misread this.
No, look, Em, it's not you,
okay? I...
I found condoms
in Jackson's bag.
Well, anyway, I just...
I don't know if now's
a good time
to be starting something
and it's not about me,
it's... it's about Jackson.
If this is your way of getting
out of our relationship--
No, it's not. I promise.
I just...
I'm trying to do
the dad thing, you know?
Well, if you really
don't have time
for a relationship right now,
that's cool,
but don't think I'm some sort
of princess
that needs the world
to revolve around her.
Because I'm not.
Look, all I'm saying is
you don't have to choose
between your son and me.
You can have both.
So, that's it?
The money's gone?
That's what the lawyer said.
But I could try another firm.
God.
What are we going to do now?
We'll have to consider
other options.
What, another mortgage?
Yeah, I guess.
Darling,
there is another option.
-No, Jules.
-Just think about it.
It's our biggest asset.
-I mean, we almost own it--
-Well, I don't want to.
It will pay for Dad's bond
and then, you know,
it'll leave something for us
to buy something smaller.
Yeah, well, what about the kids?
Well, we'll always find
room for them.
Maybe it's time for a change?
But it's the only stable home
I've ever had.
I don't think I can.
Okay. All right.
Well, we'll just...
We'll ring the bank.
We'll get another loan.
Well, I've done the maths.
I'm actually going to be working
'til I'm 112.
Oh, maybe not.
Maybe we'll win lotto.
Or rob a bank.
How hard can it be?
Are you all right, Dad?
Just thirsty.
- Come here.
- What?
You're done up all funny.
As we get older, the roles
we play in life reverse.
Children grow up,
become parents.
Parents become children
with all the responsibilities
that involves.
-Goodnight.
-Goodnight, Dad.
Goodnight, Ted.
