Rosehaven (2016–…): Season 1, Episode 7 - Episode #1.7 - full transcript

Let's just go to that next
tree and then we'll stop.

Got a great tree right here.

Come on, Dan!

Throw another limp on the barbie.

How many more have you got left?

Have I done 'The Limportance
of Being Earnest'?

Yes.

Then I have 'Deep Limpact', 'Homer
Limpson' and 'New Zealand Aladdin'.

Why?

Because you've got a magic limp.

- I said, because you...
- Yeah, got it.



- You've got a magic limp.
- I heard it, I heard it.

Oh, if you don't want babies,

Grace is the one who's
supposed to take the pill.

They're vitamins.

Hey can I, um, see you
in my office for a second?

Okay.

Did you find the pet rat I
keep in the food cupboard?

- The what?
- I'm joking.

But I figure whatever I'm in
trouble for will seem less bad now.

- You're not in trouble.
- Yes!

I've opened some of Mum's mail.

I think she's paying
for a lot of the bills

out of her retirement savings.

Oh.



- That's bad?
- Yes.

- Worse than opening someone's mail?
- Well, we're making a loss, Em.

Ohh.

We're going to have to make some cuts.

Like what?

No!

You're going to fire
your own grandmother?

Shh! She's not my grandmother.

But, yes, that's the plan.

Barbara will murder you,
and not in your sleep.

- She'd wake you up to do it.
- I don't want to.

We just can't afford to keep her on
anymore. Maybe she wants to retire.

Maybe she's just hanging
around out of loyalty to Mum.

There must be a better
way to save money.

What's this?

- Our electricity bill.
- Great.

Switch to candles. More romantic.

Water.

We'll drink up when it rains and
flushing the toilet is for cowards.

- Yeah, Em...
- Work with me here.

You don't want to fire your godmother.

She's not my godmother,
okay? Or my grandmother.

She's an employee.

Is that how it is?

Look, I've got a meeting
with the accountant at one.

If they can find any other way
to save money, I'm all ears.

Great. And you and I can
brainstorm over lunch.

Well, I was actually going
to catch up with Grace.

You went for a run
with her this morning.

I know. I mean, you
can come if you want.

I want you guys to be friends,
and Grace really likes you.

I like her, but you're
the one dating her.

It's more important that you like her.

- I do. I want you to like her.
- I said I like her.

- Yeah, and she likes you.
- She likes you.

- She does?
- She should. I like you.

Yeah, and I like... Are
you coming to lunch or not?

Why didn't you tell me it was
going to be a romantic picnic?

Because it's not. It's just
lunch, outside on a blanket.

Oh, yeah, well, that sounds
perfectly reasonable then.

Did you only bring two glasses?

Yes. Sorry, that's fine.
Uh, Grace and I can share.

After all, we've kissed on the mouth.

I just think you probably
want to do that more.

Today. Alone.

No, no, we'll share a glass.

Then you can't do the romantic
arm twisty drink thing.

- It's just a casual lunch.
- Is it? What'd you pack for food?

A piece of spaghetti and a meatball
you can push around with your noses?

Salad, actually. Casual salad.

Oh, yeah, this is practically
a business meeting.

- Hi!
- Hi.

Hey, how are you?

Emma, have these.

- Me?
- Yep.

Patients bring them
in, but I get hay fever,

so I was going to give them to Daniel.

Now I'm giving them to you.

Maybe they'll look nice in
the office or your bedroom.

That is so nice. I'm going
to take them there right now.

- No, they'll last for hours.
- No, sit down.

That was really nice.

This was a great idea, Dan.

- Thank you.
- How are your legs feeling?

Uh, yeah, good, thanks. Not even sore.

Really? We'll have to
go harder tomorrow then.

Uh, well, that... they are...

They're the exact amount
of sore they need to be

to not go harder tomorrow.

Emma, you should join
us on one of our runs.

Oh, I don't run.

Unless I'm in mortal
danger, and even then,

if it was going to be a quick death,

I'd seriously consider it over running.

That's not a joke. I'd
rather die than run.

So what do you do for exercise?

Sometimes I dream I'm flying.

Uh, Grace, do you mind
if we share a glass?

- I only brought two.
- Of course not.

We exchange 80 million
microbes each time we kiss,

so sharing a glass is fine.

Well, here are some more microbes.

Well!

Em, seriously, stay.
There's heaps of food.

It's fine. I just think you
guys probably want to kiss a lot.

And you should because love is great.

Or liking each other a lot.

Wherever you're at. This is beautiful.

This... You guys, this
whole thing, warms my heart.

Have a lovely outside blanket lunch.

I'll meet you at the accountants,
Dan. Grace, I'll see you later.

- At least take something with you.
- What?

Um, I could put some wine
in a Tupperware container?

Okay, bye.

How's the lamington?

Oh, I can't. Eating plan.

- Danny McCallum!
- Daniel.

Uh, hi, Steph.

I didn't expect to see
you still in Rosehaven.

Of course! Rosehaven's the
best. You living here now?

Thought you'd left us for the mainland.

Uh, yes, I came back
to run my Mum's agency.

Couldn't hack it?

Hi, I'm Stephanie.

- Emma.
- Are you two...?

Oh, just friends.

But he tries it on, constantly.

- He got you flowers?
- His girlfriend did.

Weird.

How long has it been, Danny? 10 years?

Uh, yeah, probably.

Um...

Do you still like...

drawing?

What?

Oh, I just remember you used to draw
with, uh, chalk on your driveway.

No, I don't draw with chalk
anymore. Do you still read comics?

Yes.

So, I'm assuming you're here

because McCallum Real Estate is...

- What's... what's that?
- In the toilet, financially.

Yeah, Stephanie, what happened?

Mum's been running it
just fine for 30 years.

Did the market change or something?

No, your Mum did.

I've been trying to get
her to sell for months.

Instead she let you take
over. And that was smart.

Yeah, well, we're not selling,
okay? I want to know how to fix it.

Sure, you could...
you could sell a house.

I'm working on that.

In the meantime,

you need to save some money.

Uh, well, I have actually
already thought...

Oh, no, no, he hasn't.
What do you suggest?

This.

Easiest thing to get rid of.

No way.

No.

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

It's fine. They're young.
They'll get over it.

Em, McCallum Real Estate has
sponsored the Rosehaven Ravens

since I was a kid.

Okay, our town is the reason
Tasmania has a league now.

We were the first.

Yeah, but you don't appreciate
anything when you're young.

You'll see.

It'll be a bunch of depressed
teens checking their phones,

wishing their parents didn't
force them to go outside.

They're hating this.

Sarah! That looks like a blade!

Do you want to warp the disc?

Bruce must be taking over from Greg.

That's good. You can stick
it to your old school bully.

That used to be me out there.

Okay, guys!

Can I get your attention, please?

- So this is Barbara's son, Danny.
- It's Daniel.

He's kidding. He loves
being called Danny.

Now, his Mum is the reason
you guys are able to practice.

So can we give him a big
Rosehaven Raven shout out!

Perfect.

We heard you were popping over.

I had the kids put together
something for your Mum. Timothy!

Thanks, Timothy.

Okay, guys, take five while
we have a little bit of a chat.

Not you, Sarah!

Surprised to see you pop by.

I have to say, uh, this is a great
thing you're doing for these kids,

so...

thanks.

Bruce, McCallum Real Estate will no
longer sponsor the Rosehaven Ravens.

Take back the card, Timothy!

- You did the right thing.
- Really?

Because I thought I
just made 20 kids cry.

They were faking.

They're kids, Em.

Might as well have given the
cup to the Rosstown Ravens.

Hang on, is there a Rosstown Ravens
as well as a Rosehaven Ravens?

Yeah, they copied us. Now
they'll be the only ones.

Why don't I shout us dinner
tonight? You, me, parmas, beer.

I'm actually... having
dinner with... Grace tonight.

When are we going to hang out?

- We hang out every day at work.
- That's not hanging out, that's work.

I know, I'm sorry.

It's just started with Grace
and I so it's actually...

I get it. It's new, it's fun.

We're all very excited,

but you are allowed to hang out
with other people occasionally,

for example your best friend, who
is now going through a divorce.

Yes, you're right. Um, why don't
we book in some time together?

What?

Well... well, you sync the
calendars for the office,

so why don't you book in
some time for us to hang out,

then I know not to organise
stuff with Grace at the same time.

- Book in time? You serious?
- Well, it's just a thought.

Okay, I'll make an appointment
with your secretary,

if you don't fire her first.

- I just did that so I don't have to.
- Don't have to what?

Nothing.

Anything you want to tell me?

Yesterday I made a
cup of soup in a bowl.

I hear you're the owner of the
business now. Congratulations.

I got a phone call from Bruce.

Sounds like you're making
sponsorship decisions

which only the owner can
make, so you must be the owner.

Mum, I can explain.

Good, 'cause I'm a bit
confused when you took over.

Did I die? I hope not.
I just made a casserole.

I've just been trying to look
at some ways we can cut back.

You probably want to
yell at him in private.

Daniel.

You've been eating into
your retirement savings.

That's for me to worry about.

Well, I'm not going to
let you keep doing that.

So you thought you'd end a relationship

McCallum Real Estate's had with
the community for over 25 years?

We can't afford it anymore, okay?

I didn't want to, but I'm not going
to let you throw your money away

just so some kids can play Frisbee.

That used to be you out there,
and it's not your choice to make.

This is pointless.

Emma, can you please
talk some sense into him?

You know what, Mum,
it is my choice, okay?

I'm not a babysitter, I'm a manager.

Okay? If I make a decision,
you have to back it up.

I didn't move my whole life back here

just so I could be your assistant.

I had a tough choice to make,
I made it, end of discussion.

I got these for you.

I'll just hold them.

Stop taking everything I write so
literally, okay? I'm sick of it.

Look, I don't have time
for this conversation again.

No, you look.

I've brought me own glass
and I want me free beer.

Phil, for the last time, it's a joke.

You still have to pay five dollars.

- What can I get you, Daniel?
- Uh, a pint, please.

If you bring your own glass, it's free.

It's not.

Em.

- Daniel.
- You're... here.

Yeah. Is that okay? Sorry
I don't have an appointment.

It was just a suggestion.

- Thank you.
- Evening, Emma. Drink?

Heaps. Pint first, please.

- If you bring your own...
- Shut up, Phil.

Hey is, uh, is Mum okay?

- She threw a knife at a photo of you.
- Are you serious?

No. But you really left
me hanging in there.

Yeah, sorry.

- There you go.
- Thank you.

Um, I only booked for two but
we can get another chair, or...?

What for?

Oh, I'm not going on
your date, you idiot.

Oh, right.

Um, good luck.

- Why good luck?
- Because it's a date.

- Now I'm nervous.
- That's normal.

- Yeah, but I wasn't nervous before.
- Sorry.

Hey.

Hi. Hey.

Hi.

I got your text.

But you probably know that 'cause
I'm sitting here, and I replied.

- You look great.
- Thank you.

You know, you have quite
nice eyes, both of them.

That's very kind. I enjoy
using them to look at your face.

Oh, no.

What?

We're wearing the same thing.

Nah.

Yeah, blue pants, black top. Goddammit.

Oh, yeah.

That's the best.

Weirdo!

Trendsetters.

So I got a call today from
one of my old lecturers.

She was a pretty big mentor to me at uni

and I would love the
chance to work with her.

Okay.

And there is an opening at her practice

she'd like me to apply for.

In Rosehaven?

- On the Gold Coast.
- Right.

Um...

So what are your plans for when
your Mum's back in the office?

Go back to the... go
back to the mainland.

The Gold Coast is on the mainland.

Yeah. Uh, yeah, it is.

- Danny McCallum.
- Daniel.

- Hi, Olive.
- Do you like watching kids cry?

- No.
- I think you do.

Bruce said you took a
great deal of pleasure

clipping the wings of those kids today.

No, that... that's not
true. I didn't want to.

I mean, Greg, you know I wouldn't
have done it unless I had to.

Yeah, Danny, actually
I just came to say hi,

but Olive told me to stand behind
her and stay quiet, so I thought...

Greg!

I'm sure he thinks he's
doing the right thing.

He said she was just an
employee. Am I just an employee?

I am worried that the rush of
climbing the corporate ladder

of rural Tasmania real estate
is starting to affect him.

You know, that might be
a very real possibility.

He hasn't even got time for me
anymore, and I'm all he's got.

Of all the heartless,

short-sighted, brutal things...

They can keep playing,
we just can't pay for it.

And Doctor Howlett. I'm surprised at
the company you're choosing to keep.

This was a really hard
decision for him, Olive.

- Then why is he out celebrating?
- I'm not out celebrating.

And I'm not sure if
frisbee's a real sport.

Oh!

So much for McCallum Real
Estate being community minded.

My son Timothy hasn't left his
room. He said, "What's the point?"

My daughter was throwing
plates in the kitchen.

Said it reminded her of
being part of something.

- Leave him alone, you guys!
- Thanks, Em.

If you want to speak to Daniel,
you've got to make an appointment.

- Thanks.
- You're welcome.

- Mrs Marsh.
- Morning, Emma.

Big night?

I always wear sunglasses in the office.

- Oh, I must have forgotten that.
- What's with all the frisbees?

A present from Bruce. Oh, thanks
for backing me up last night.

- You're welcome.
- No, that was sarcasm.

You didn't back me up.
You made things worse.

Well, in my defence, I can't remember.

Daniel, there's some people outside
who might want to talk to you.

Ravens! Ravens! Ravens! Ravens!

There he is! The chicken who
ran out of the pub last night!

I didn't. I walked out, casually,
while you made bird noises at me.

We want our frisbees back!

Yeah!

- Bruce stuffed them in my office.
- Yeah, he made me do it!

Said he couldn't wait to see
the look on the kids' faces

when the frisbees were gone.

That's clearly a lie.
I'm not a Disney villain.

I heard that he's
selling them to Rosstown.

The Rosstown Ravens are
scum. I would never do that.

He works for Rosstown!

Everyone, calm down. That's enough.

Greg?

Oh, yeah, sorry, Danny.
Bruce asked me to carry it.

Ravens! Ravens! Ravens!
Ravens! Ravens! Ravens!

If I sneak out the back, are there
any shops nearby that sell tear gas?

Give them back to them. Tell them
I'm reinstating the sponsorship.

It's just frisbee, Daniel.
They'll get over it.

No, that partnership has
meant getting the business

from all those children's
parents whenever they've moved.

I was stupid to cancel it.

So you're only sponsoring them
because of what you get out of it?

Yes, that's how you run a business.

Fine. We'll find another
way to save money.

We already have another way. Look,
we don't need Mrs Marsh anymore.

You've taken on most
of her duties already.

So it's my fault?

No, I told Mum I'm
making the tough choices.

How does it look if I don't
follow through with this one

and give them back
the sponsorship money?

So why don't you fire me as well?
That'll save even more money.

Em, stop taking everything
so personally, okay?

I've got an employee who
doesn't do her work anymore.

I'm letting them go.
It's as simple as that.

Fine. Well, I don't want
to be here when you do it.

Well, you might as well go
home. You're hungover anyway.

Oh, I'm sorry, Mr Perfect.

I must have forgotten to
take my five million vitamins

that I don't even know what they do.

It's magnesium and it's
for muscle recovery.

And if I'm hungover it's because
we're supposed to drink together.

I get the shots, you get the
chasers. You broke the system.

Goodbye, Mrs Marsh.

Not feeling well, Emma?

Go home. Feel better.

Good news, everyone.

McCallum Real Estate will be sponsoring

your stupid frisbee games again!

- Oh!
- Really?

- Danny said that?
- Yep.

And as an extra bonus,

he's going to be firing a nice old
lady who might have gone to war.

Oh, well, we didn't know about that.

No, you didn't. So I hope you
enjoy your precious Frisbees.

Careful! They're expensive!

Oh, it's like all anyone cares
about is frisbees and money!

And frisbee money!

It's all business!

Frisbee is the heart of this town!

Oi, you've got a pretty good arm!

You should come to practice.

She's gone. She didn't hear me.

Um, Mrs Marsh, can I
talk to you, please?

Certainly, Danny.

Did you want a hot chocolate?

Uh, yes. Sorry, no. No, thank you.

Um, Mrs Marsh, you're
here full-time, aren't you?

Open till close, six days a week.

And you're busy?

Right. Um, Mrs Marsh, I've
been... I've been thinking, uh...

I remember when I taught you piano,
you would always do this. Hesitate.

You need to be more confident, Danny.

I actually prefer Daniel now.

That's a good start.

Right.

Mrs Marsh, do you ever
get, um, bored working here?

I like it.

You wouldn't rather be at
home, um, reading, or...?

I get to do a lot here.

Uh, right.

Well, if you ever did want to leave,
you would have my full support.

Not financially, obviously.

Daniel, what are you trying to say?

Mrs Marsh, I have to let you go.

Oh.

I'm so sorry.

"Let go" means "fire", right?

Danny...

I don't get paid.

I'm sorry?

I don't get paid.

I just come in, or I'd be knocking
about the house, otherwise.

But I can leave if you want, Daniel.

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

No, please, uh, stay
forever. I'm so sorry.

Thank you for...

Okay. Uh, thank you.

There's the man that's not
afraid to make the tough calls.

Mum, I reinstated the sponsorship.

I know.

All right.

Daniel, I'm not an idiot.

I know we're in the red right now,

and it's my choice what I
do with my retirement money.

- Maybe we should listen to Steph.
- I don't care what Steph says.

I know I can turn it
around once I'm back.

Meantime, I'd appreciate it if you
didn't try and fire your godmother.

- Oh, she is my godmother.
- You overstepped your bounds today.

I'll be back soon and you
won't have to worry about it,

so stop second guessing me.

- Hi.
- Hi.

- Come in.
- Thanks.

Sorry if the place is a mess.

Yeah, it's pretty
disgusting in here, Grace.

You okay?

- Did you take too much magnesium?
- No.

- Any vomiting?
- No.

- Nausea?
- No, no.

- Sleepiness?
- Yes but no.

Uh, no, I wanted...

You know how you
mentioned the Gold Coast.

Yeah. But I know you have
responsibilities here.

No, I think Mum's actually looking
forward to getting rid of me.

- What about Emma?
- Oh, she's an adult.

I mean, she'll be fine.

I... I want to go with you.

To the... to the Gold Coast?

Anywhere.

But, yes, the Gold Coast.

I'm going to move with
Grace to the Gold Coast.

What?

You did a final inspection
this morning. How did it look?

Good.

We're going to have to clean the house.

With what? Our hands?

Are we... cool?

Yeah, we're cool.

- Oh, Em, grow up!
- All I've done is help you!

By showing up at my
doorstep and sponging off me?

Come on, Damien.

True or false? An octopus has a beak?

False.

Incorrect. Drink!

On what continent
would you not find bees?

- Antarctica.
- Correct. Drink!
