Rosehaven (2016–…): Season 2, Episode 8 - Episode #2.8 - full transcript

Daniel holds an auction for his first property sale.

Last chance for this amazing blue stapler.

Going once. Going twice.

- Sold for one million dol...
- EMMA: No, no, more confident.

Really hit "sold". Slap 'em with it.

"Sold!"

Sold! For one million...

Howl it like a wolf. "Soooooold!"

Soooold!

- That sounded like "so old".
- Well, you're making me overthink it.

You should spin.

"Sold!"



- No.
- Spin!

- Sold!
- Terrible. Try the other way.

[KNOCK AT DOOR]

What does he want?

Maybe he's confused by his
reflection, like a magpie.

Wh...?

[SHOP BELL CHIMES]

Did Daniel ban you from
coming in or something?

Nope.

What's up?

Are you... doing anything tonight?

No!

That's great, because
if you wanted to come...

No, I mean... no, don't...



What?

..ask me on a date. Are
you asking me on a date?

Yep.

- [SHOP BELL CHIMES]
- [GROANS]

What happened?

What did he want?

Promise you won't freak out.

Sure.

Really promise.

I promise.

Bruce just asked me on a date.

- What?! Oh!
- MRS MARSH: That's nice.

- No, it's not!
- You promised!

You guys can't go out.
No! It's not allowed.

- I'm calling it. No.
- Not allowed?

[SIGHS] I'm just saying, isn't
it in the best friends rule book?

Like, you're my best
friend, he's my bully, so...

He was your bully.

And he's not bad-looking.

Oh! Bleugh! No.

Imagine if I dated someone who
made your life hell at school.

- Maths?
- Sure. Imagine if I dated maths.

Just holding maths' hand, making
out with maths in front of you...

Would you relax? Obviously I said no.

Oh, thank you.

- I appreciate that.
- [SIGHS]

Just don't gloat or be
mean to him about it.

Yep.

What are you doing?

I'm just gonna send him one
text. "REJECTED," all capitals.

No! Give me your phone!
Stop! Give me your phone!

- I'll lose the capitals.
- Give it to me. No, it's still bad.

- Give it to me.
- No, no, no! He'll find it funny.

It's not my fault people fall
in love with me! Give it to me!

SONG: ♪ Yeah, we know ♪

♪ Even if we had so far to go ♪

♪ Even if the pace is slow ♪

♪ Well, I'll be coming
home to you again ♪

♪ If we find ♪

♪ Something to feel that we belong ♪

♪ If we could right all the wrongs ♪

♪ I'll be coming home to you again. ♪

You wanted to see me?

How are you feeling about the auction?

Uh, yeah, pretty good.

Graham's already offered 320,

so even if he's the only one who shows up,

we should get a good price.

Where's my stapler?

- Oh, sorry. I'll go grab it.
- No, not now.

I just had a chat with Jocelyn at the bank.

Are we going bankrupt?

No. I had a chat with her about Emma.

Is it a credit card thing?

There's an opening for a teller.

Jackie's retiring and I
suggested Emma to replace her.

But... Em works here.

She does.

Well, did she put your
coffee mug in the freezer?

If you ask her to stop,
she eventually does.

Emma's been a great help,

but we don't need a full-time
property manager anymore.

I'm focusing on sales.

You mean "sale"? You've got one listing.

I can't afford to put
both of you on a retainer.

But... she's my... best friend.

That's not the kind of thing
you say at a business meeting.

I wanted to tell you before I told Emma.

Thanks. I appreciate that.

[CALLS OUT] Emma? Now?

- Yes?
- Em, run.

Sit down.

I spoke with Jocelyn at the bank today.

Is this a credit card thing?
Don't worry, I buried it.

She wants to talk to you about a position.

I told her you were good with people
and you'd be perfect for the job.

But I already have a job.

I know, but this would pay
a lot better than we can.

What?

- Were you in on this?
- I just heard a second ago.

- And is this what you want?
- No, of course not.

You two are acting like Romeo and Juliet.

It's just down the road.

Do you agree with it?

[SIGHS] Em, I love working with you, but...

..I mean, I can... I can
see what Mum's saying.

I'm happy here.

Emma, there's no rush.

You can meet with Jocelyn
tomorrow and see how you go.

- I'm not firing you.
- I quit.

- As of now, I quit.
- Em, wait.

Em, all Mum's saying...

Why don't you work at the
bank and I'll stay here?

- Well, that wouldn't work.
- Why not?

Because my mum's the boss.

So? I'm her housemate.

We'll still see each other all the time.

Why does it have to be
me? Why am I disposable?

You're not disposable.

And yet I'm the one
being disposed of. Weird.

No, no, Mum's trying to help...

Couldn't it have been us?

Did it even occur to you

that maybe you and me could
go somewhere else together?

[SIGHS] Can we please talk about this?

Em, don't quit now. What about the auction?

- Em!
- [SHOP BELL CHIMES]

What?

That's, um... Mum's stapler.

[SHOP BELL CHIMES]

Bruce!

Hey. Bruce.

Oh, hi.

Listen, all my things got
cancelled. I can go out with you.

Really?

Yeah. Why not?

The pub? Seven?

Sure. Great.

Great.

OK.

Yeah.

I'm out.

- Of words?
- Yeah.

Me too.

- Not because this is weird.
- No.

We're probably just saving them for later.

Yep.

See you soon.

- Did you get a hold of Em?
- No, she's still not answering.

It shouldn't be that big a
deal, right? It's for the best.

Maybe, but I don't think
saying, "It's for the best,"

has ever made anyone feel better.

She'll come round eventually.

Listen to her answering machine message.

Hi. You've called Emma.
Please leave a message.

Unless this is Daniel,

because if you leave a message,
then I won't listen to it.

I mean, I'll have to listen to
a little bit to know it's you,

but that's it.

So you'd better get your message
out in one second or less.

[QUICKLY] Em, I'm sorry. Please talk to me.

_

I mean, it's not a job
in the traditional sense,

but it is full-time.

Coming up with ideas to
make life more efficient?

I mean, can't anyone do that?

Yeah, but not everyone does.

Life Hax by Bruce. [MIMICS EXPLOSION]

And 'Life Hax', 'Hax' is with an X.

- What sort of hacks?
- Oh, there's heaps.

Once I get a good round
number like 50 or something,

I'm gonna start up a website, do a book.

Oh? Well, go on. Hit me. Tell me one.

[SIGHS] I shouldn't. I shouldn't.

But OK. Uh...

You know when you're sitting on the toilet?

Yes?

Do your shoelaces up.

Wow.

So...

..keep that to yourself
until the website's up.

Use it, but...

Sure.

Do you want to grab us a table
and I'll get us some drinks?

Yeah, sure.

EMMA: Any brothers or sisters?

BRUCE: Nope. You?

Do they... work?

They... they work. One of them.

- Come outside right now.
- Why?

Um... someone's spray-painting your car.

What?!

Where is it, Grace? I
can't... I can't see anything.

I need you to promise me to not freak out.

- Oh, not again!
- Promise?

I promise.

I think I saw Emma and Bruce on a date.

- What?!
- You promised.

She's my best friend!

She still is. She's just going on a date.

Which she is allowed to do
as an independent human being.

Don't you want her to be happy?

No! This is a... this is a nightmare!

Look, Em's always teased me as
a joke, but what if they team up?

She knows every button I've got.

She's gonna give Bruce the launch codes.

Maybe that's why he's dating her.

Dan, I know this is hard to hear,

but you can't stop two
people falling in love.

You think they're in love?

No, but I think if you
want Emma back in your life,

you need to respect her choices.

Is there spray paint on the car or not?

OK.

If you had to lose a hand

but you could replace it
with anything you want,

what would you choose?

Another hand.

- No, it can't be a hand.
- You said I could have...

Aside from... Forget it.

Daniel. You've grown a beard.

- Very funny, Phil.
- [CHUCKLES] Yeah.

Is this weird? Do you feel weird
about it being us on a date?

I don't think so.

Maybe it's just getting in our heads
too much, the whole Daniel thing.

- It's not in my head.
- Let's change seats.

- Sorry?
- I feel like this isn't going great.

Maybe if we swap seats, we
can shake it up, start fresh.

OK.

OK, that feels better. So...

Your seat's warm.

Hello. Graham, it's Daniel
from McCallum Real Estate here.

Just letting you know that
the auction will start soon,

so... see you soon.

OK? Talk to you then.

Please come.

Hey, so, I don't think
I'm gonna watch today.

I don't like being around people in groups.

Too many auras bumping into each other.

Sure. No worries.

Just gonna stay inside
and do some breathing.

You're giving off a lot of yellow.
How are you feeling? Powerful?

Uh, yeah. Yeah.

- Gonna give me a good price?
- Yes.

Well, your reserve's set at $320,000,

but I'm hopeful we'll get well above that.

And if we don't, I don't have
to go through with it, right?

Right.

But there's been a lot of interest
in your property up until now,

and this is a great turnout, so I'm
confident we'll get a good price.

Mmm.

WOMAN: Oh. What time
does the auction start?

In a few minutes. Do you have any
questions about the property or...

Oh, no, we're not looking to
buy. We live over the road.

Just want to see how much it goes for.

There's quite a few of us from
the neighbourhood, actually.

- MAN: For a lookie-loo.
- Yeah, great. Thanks for coming.

Still yellow?

I'm really excited to have you here, Emma.

Me too.

So...

..how do you feel about maths?

- Good.
- Great!

So, you will be responsible
for a range of tasks,

including processing transactions,

proposing and solving transaction problems,

receiving transactions,

dealing with transaction inquiries...

- OK.
- ...verifying...

- Transactions?
- Yes!

Very good.

Let me show you some of the manuals.

[THUMP!]

[BELL JANGLES]

Alright, um, thank you, everyone,

for coming to the auction
of this beautiful...

Will you be serving drinks?

No.

Uh, thank you, everyone,
for coming to the auction

of this beautiful three-bedroom home.

Just to run you through
some of its many features.

It has a modern kitchen.

It's got a combined bathroom and toilet,

so no need to go to another
room to wash your hands.

Um, it's on a beautiful block of land.

Why have you got a hammer?

It's a gavel, and it's tradition.

You've got nothing to hit it on.

Well, you don't need anything. You just...

Seems dangerous.

You'll be fine, Frank.

Sorry, before we start,
has anyone seen Graham?

Are we doing this or what?

Yes. Uh, sorry. Um... so, who
would like to start us off?

If it's a question about the
gavel, please lower your hand.

Anyone else?

$290,000.

OK. Uh, that's a start.
That's a start. $290,000.

Um, can I get 300?

Three-zero-zero?

I'd buy the house myself for that much.

Just kidding. That is illegal.

295?

It's a steal at that price.

295?

Does anyone have a double shoulder injury

that would prevent them
from raising their arms?

Happy for you to just yell out.

MAN: That should be in your
account in four working days.

[SIGHS]

[GASPS]

OK, so, this is the
counterfeit detection guide.

As you can see, we first
look for the coat of arms.

It should be a kangaroo and an emu.

- Sorry, where's the button?
- What button?

I can't find the button under
here that calls the police

and drops the bulletproof screens.

Uh, there isn't a button.

- What if you get robbed?
- Shh! We don't say it.

[DOOR OPENS]

Oh! Your first customer.

Exciting!

Hello. I'm Emma. How may I help you?

I'd like to deposit
this bank cheque, please.

Certainly.

Whoa! Graham, is it?

Did you win a game show or something?

Emma, that isn't really
an appropriate response.

It's the deposit for a house.

The owner got greedy,
decided to go to auction,

so I don't need it anymore.

You're not the Graham, are you?

Excuse me?

Was the auction for 75 Cyclicat Road?

Yes, it was.

Emma, let's deposit the cheque, shall we?

It's over already? What happened?

Um... no, I told them I
have to go to the toilet.

You what?

Steve, the only offer
we've had is...$290,000.

- That's it?
- Yep.

That's not enough.

Well, I mean, it's not too
far off your reserve price.

$30,000?

Maybe we set it too high?

I... I think all you want
to do is sell a house,

get one under your belt.

No...

Look, if you can't get them any
higher than what we agreed to,

I don't want you as my agent anymore.

Alright?

OK.

Where are you going?

I actually do have to go
to the toilet. I'm so sorry.

- You have to go to the auction.
- Emma!

No, I don't. Auctions are so crass.

Yelling out how much money
you want to spend on things!

It's undignified.

I'll look for something closer to the city.

Better investment, anyway.

I'm looking at the screen
and the system is telling me

that this property is a great investment.

I'm sorry. I don't know what she's saying.

Maybe I should take over...

Graham, she wants it for herself.
She knows what a bargain it is.

What?!

She's pressing the button to
call the police to trap you here

so she can get to the auction and buy it.

I'm sorry, she's new.

How do you know it's a bargain?

You thought it was a
fair price at 320, right?

Yes.

If the owner thought that was a
fair price, they would've taken it.

Instead, they've gone to auction
to see if they can get more.

Yeah, because they're greedy.

Or they knew it was a steal at that price.

Either way, you don't have
to offer any more than 320.

You might even get it for less.

Trust me. I work in a bank.

Well, Emma, technically...

Plus, you can keep an eye
on it, 'cause you live here.

You want to buy closer to
the city, where the crime is?

Rosehaven is the perfect place to invest.

Come on. We can still
make it. Where's your car?

- I walked here.
- Dammit!

Sorry, everyone, for leaving like that.

Um, let's get started, shall we?

Just a reminder, too, what an
amazing opportunity this is.

- Get on with it!
- [ALL GRUMBLE]

OK, sorry, sorry. Um...

So, before I left, we were with Stacey

at the unbelievably low price of $290,000.

Can I please get 300?

$300,000?

Anyone?

- Wrap it up!
- Come on.

- [ALL MURMUR]
- OK, I could do that.

I-I feel like some of
you are hesitant to bid.

And I get it. Buying a
house is a big investment.

But this house... is worth it, OK?

The properties in this area

have maintained their
value for the last 10 years

and unless they build a sewage
plant next door, they are...

What? When are they
building the sewage plant?

Well, they're not. That's what I'm saying.

- Well, how do you know?
- Because I made it up!

Look...

Let me list some more of the

amazing features of this property.

- [ALL GROAN]
- It's got not one but two...

- Come on!
- ...generous cutlery drawers.

Thank you so much for
this. I could kiss you.

Oh, don't.

I think we should just be friends.
Did you think this was a date?

What? No. I just needed a lift.

I just don't think we
have that much in common.

Can we talk about this later?

- What happened?
- Nothing, Graham.

We went on a date last night, mate,
but I don't think we're suited.

- Ouch!
- Not ouch.

I don't think we're suited either.

- You'll be OK.
- I'm OK now.

I didn't mean to toy with your feelings.

Stop talking.

Are you allowed to be driving this?

Yeah, it's my dad's.

Yeah, but... Alright.

Put the siren on!

[SIREN WAILS]

No-one else is bidding.
That's when an auction ends!

- OK, OK.
- [ALL COMPLAIN]

Yeah, OK!

OK. [SIGHS]

We're at...$290,000.

- [SIGHS]
- For the... last time...

..can I get 300?

$300,000?

Anyone?

- [SIREN APPROACHES]
- Please.

[TYRES SQUEAL]

Objection!

Em?

Graham?

- Danny.
- Bruce?

Graham bids $320,000!

Hang on! What's the bidding at?

Uh... 290.

Sure. 300.

- Really?
- Yes! 300!

OK, we're at...$300,000.

Can I get, um... 310?

310. Um, can I get 320?

320.

[EXCITEDLY] $320,000. Can
I get, um... can I get 330?

$330,000?

$320,000 going once...

$325,000.

OK, we're at $325,000.

Um, can I get 330?

- Graham?
- No!

I was only willing to bid 320.

OK. Uh, 330, anyone?

$325,000 going once.

$325,000 going twice.

- Sold! For 325...
- [FRANK GRUNTS]

I am so sorry, Frank!

I knew this was a waste of time.

Yeah, sorry. Beautiful day, though.

Thanks again, Bruce.

Please don't be upset if I don't call.

I won't be!

Em, thank you so much. If you...

Stop. I went on a date with Bruce.

Oh... I know.

I may have, um... seen you guys at the pub.

I think we're in love.

What?!

I mean... whatever makes you happy.

- We are so not, but thank you.
- Oh, thank God!

You sold a house!

Well, I... [SIGHS] You
mean we sold a house!

I mean, I can't believe you...

Sorry, shouldn't you be at the bank?

Yes, I should be.

BARBARA: Right.

Thanks, Jocelyn. I appreciate it.

She's willing to give you another go,

if you promise not to kidnap customers

and run out midway through your shift.

Seems reasonable.

- This sucks.
- Hmm?

This. It... it sucks.

Is that all you wanted to say?

No, it just... doesn't feel right.

Em belongs here. We're a team.

It's not as much fun without you.

Are you under the impression that
work should be fun at all times?

No, it's just...

I don't want to work here without Em.

- It's OK.
- Daniel...

I want to split my wage with Emma.

You can have two employees
for the price of one.

What?

I didn't sell that house today. We did.

Feel free to say no. I just...

I get the feeling the bank's not for you.

I hate it!

I got a bit of paper in the bin
from miles away and no-one saw.

That sucks.

And they don't even have a
button for if robbers come in.

- Well, we've got to rob that bank.
- I know!

Are you both finished?

Emma, do you want to work here?

Do hip-hop dance crews

like finishing on a sound
effect of glass breaking?

Yes.

Alright.

That's it?

If you split your wage.

Well, it's more of a gesture.

But you need to understand
that small businesses like this

cannot stay afloat unless
everyone is bringing in an income.

Now, today, for the first time,
that's exactly what you both did.

So, we're workmates again?

What, you need a certificate? Yes.

- Whoo!
- Whoo!

- And we sold a house!
- What-what?!

Now you only need to sell two more
to meet your quota for the month.

- Two more?
- For the month?

Yes, well, technically, it's four a month,

but I thought I'd go easy on you.

Thanks.

Now, which one of you broke my stapler?

BOTH: Mrs Marsh.

Daniel and Emma said it was
you who broke my stapler.

Is that true?

Emma threw it after

Daniel tried to sell it to her.

- Let's go sell a house.
- Two!

- Great. I'll drive.
