00:00Oh, Hunt. I've got a little job for you.
00:05What's that, Miss Ferguson?
00:07You're going to pay a visit on the women after light's out.
00:10How am I going to do that?
00:11Oh, I'll let you in. Then it's up to you to wake them and have a little chat.
00:15Remind them that their top dog has gone and they need protection.
00:20Protection against what?
00:21Just two dollars a week, Hunt.
00:24That's cheap rates for health benefits. They'll love it.
00:27Some of the women haven't got much cash, Miss Ferguson.
00:29Yes, and I've made allowances for that, Hunt.
00:32There are other things they can do.
00:36Like inform on anyone who's against Stevens.
00:39Jeez, I don't think anyone will lag, Miss Ferguson.
00:41Yes, they will.
00:45Smith's reign is over, Hunt. There are new rules now and you're going to help see that they're obeyed, aren't you?
00:51Yes, Miss Ferguson.
00:53Good.
00:56Oh, it's all right.
00:58It's over here.
01:00Come on, Mum. We're here.
01:02Come and meet the most wonderful girl in the world.
01:04Pleased to meet you, Jenny.
01:06How do you do, Mrs. Jackson?
01:18Uh, Morris. Mrs. Morris.
01:20I'm so sorry, Mrs. Morris.
01:23Oh, come on, Mum.
01:24Are you going to say anything?
01:26Yes, yes.
01:27I'm sorry.
01:29I'm not feeling very well.
01:31I just go into and off the earth.
01:32Hang on a minute, Jenny.
01:34I'll just find out what's going on.
01:41What the hell does it matter with you?
01:43You could have at least said hello.
01:44I'm sorry.
01:46Where did you say you'd met her?
01:47Oh, in this ship.
01:48What's that got to do with it?
01:49I'd never have bought it here if I knew you were going to act like that.
01:51Come on, Jenny. We're going to have to do this.
01:55Want a sweet pick?
02:21Oh, no, thanks, Lizzie.
02:22I only drink champagne.
02:24Oh, fun stuff.
02:26Well, I could do with a drop of scotch meself.
02:28How about you, Cass?
02:30Oh, well, just a little nip.
02:31Thanks, Lizzie.
02:36Jeez.
02:37What did you put in it?
02:39I can't reckon it's taken the lining off me throat.
02:41Oh, I mean, it's real nice, but jeez.
02:43Oh, just a few spuds and things I found in the kitchen.
02:46I'll tell you what, it's a bloody side better than the last brew.
02:49We had some dill forgot to wash out the shampoo bottle.
02:52We had bubbles coming out of our mouth.
02:53I can't believe you.
02:54I reckon I'd better give it back to your project, Tiddly.
03:04How did you get in here?
03:06How do you reckon?
03:08Stick your head outside the door and I'll bet you London to a brick.
03:11The bloody freaks out there.
03:12Okay, shut up and listen.
03:13Me and Francis are collecting for the Prisoner's Health Benefit Fund.
03:17Like bloody hell you are.
03:18Do you want me to break your other arm?
03:20All you've got to do is pay up and you won't get hurt.
03:23Well, what's the Prisoner's Health Benefit Fund?
03:26Anyone that doesn't pay up doesn't stay healthy, right?
03:29Right.
03:30Okay, Parker, two bucks.
03:31Oh, you can't ask her.
03:32She's new.
03:33That's not fair.
03:34Don't you pay, love?
03:35It's okay, Lizzie.
03:36It's okay.
03:36I don't want any trouble.
03:37Ever seen a pizza run over by a truck?
03:42No.
03:43Well, that's what you're going to look like if you don't pay up.
03:46You two better play ball, otherwise we're going to rearrange your features for you.
03:51Here.
03:52That's all I've got.
03:55You're done.
04:00Good.
04:01I knew you'd see it our way.
04:04Sweet dreams.
04:11Thieving bloody mongrels.
04:13I think I will have that drink now, Lizzie.
04:17Good.
04:18Any trouble?
04:19No, it was a breeze.
04:20Oh, get a move on.
04:21Long way to go.
04:22Good.
04:22Good.
04:31Where do you put it all?
04:40You're as skinny as a rake.
04:42Would you like some more, Bill?
04:44No, no, thanks.
04:45I'd better stop here, Ray.
04:46Oh, it's all right.
04:46Don't take any notice of them.
04:47My brother always has four helpings.
04:50Well, how about some coffee, then?
04:52You got any, too?
04:53Sure.
04:53Black or white?
04:54Oh, white with three sugars, thanks.
04:56Okay.
04:56Sit down, Rosie.
04:57I'll make it.
04:58Oh, thanks, Lou.
05:01Rosemary tells me you live quite near her father.
05:04Yeah, that's right.
05:06About a hundred down the road.
05:08What do you think of the big smoke?
05:10Eh, pretty easy to get lost.
05:12All them streets and all them crazy drivers racing around everywhere.
05:16I'm really worried in case I prank Dad's ute.
05:18Yeah, I know what you mean.
05:21Why are city people always in such a hurry?
05:23Good question.
05:25If ever you find the answer, you let me know, won't you?
05:27Girls, I think we've got a few things to do, haven't we?
05:31Hmm.
05:39Bill, about that letter, I guess you'd think I'm a bit weird.
05:44Oh, no more weird than me.
05:46I guess answering a crazy ad like that in the first place, well...
05:49Pixie got so many replies, I suppose she thought she should give some to some of her friends.
05:53Yeah, she sounds like good fun.
05:56Anyway, it's been real nice bumping into you again like this, Rosemary.
05:59Yeah, me too.
06:02Are you working tomorrow?
06:04Wish I was.
06:05I quit my job, remember?
06:08Oh.
06:09And how would you like to drown your sorrows over dinner then?
06:12You mean lunch?
06:13Yeah, I know this great place that has steaks as big as your plate.
06:17Oh, great.
06:18Don't tell Wally, though, he's a vegetarian.
06:20OK, you lot, shower time.
06:30Come on, Mason, get a move on.
06:32Don't, Miss Ferguson, I've got an awful headache.
06:35Come on, Mason.
06:37Out!
06:39Any trouble, Miss Ferguson?
06:40Uh, no, everything's all right.
06:42What's this?
06:46Oh, dear.
06:50OK, Mason, where did this come from?
06:52What are you asking her for?
06:53You...
06:53Shut up, Birdsworth!
06:56Well, Mason, we're waiting.
06:58Well, I was about to take a shower yesterday, and...
07:02Well, there it was, as large as life, and so I thought to myself,
07:04well, somebody's obvious he left it behind,
07:06and so I picked it up, thinking I'd take it back this morning to see who it was.
07:11How'd you get in here, then?
07:12Oh, I don't know.
07:13I must have fallen out of my sponge bag.
07:16Yeah, I'll bet.
07:18All right, Birdsworth.
07:20What do you know about it?
07:21Oh, she doesn't know anything, because I brought it in when nobody was looking.
07:25I just helped her polish it off.
07:27Very noble, Birdsworth, but where did it come from?
07:29Three guesses.
07:30All right.
07:33Mrs. Barry, I think these two have got a bit of explaining to do when the Governor comes in.
07:36Indeed.
07:36What about this one?
07:38Oh, no, she's all right.
07:39She only arrived last night.
07:41OK, get to the showers.
07:56You're up early?
07:57I couldn't sleep.
07:59There's too much on my mind.
08:01About Jenny Martin.
08:02Why were you so rude to her, Mum?
08:04Well, it was just that...
08:05Can you imagine how embarrassed I was?
08:07I mean, what got into you?
08:08It's just that...
08:11Well, I don't think she's the right girl for you.
08:15Well, how can you say that?
08:16You only saw her for a couple of minutes.
08:19I'll tell you this much.
08:19She's the most decent girl I've ever met, and I'm going to marry her.
08:23Marry her?
08:24Yeah.
08:24I asked her last night, and she accepted.
08:27You hardly know her.
08:30You've got to give it more time.
08:31Oh, you just don't understand, Mum.
08:34Looks like Jenny was right.
08:36What do you mean?
08:37Well, she said mothers often get jealous when their sons first bring home the girl they want to marry.
08:41Oh, my dear.
08:53Morning, Miss Ferguson.
08:55Morning, Governor.
08:56What's this I hear about Mason being drunk this morning?
08:59Precisely.
09:00And I found this in her cell.
09:03Birdsworth admitted to helping her drink it.
09:05She probably provided it, too, knowing her.
09:07I've got them both outside.
09:08All right.
09:09Bring them in.
09:13Come on.
09:19You don't look at all well, Mason.
09:22Um, could I please sit down, Mrs Reynolds?
09:24This won't take long, especially if I get the answers I'm looking for.
09:28Now, where did this come from?
09:30Well, it was in the showers yesterday.
09:32I thought it was shampoo, but it certainly didn't taste like shampoo.
09:37This is not a joking matter, Mason.
09:40You helped her, Birdsworth?
09:43Yes, Mrs Reynolds.
09:45Have either of you any idea where this came from?
09:47No, Mrs Reynolds.
09:50I want a thorough search of the prison, Miss Ferguson,
09:52and keep an eye open for any containers.
09:54Which might have been used for brewing.
09:56Of course, Governor.
09:56I'll attend to it immediately.
09:58As for you, too, you'll lose all privileges until this matter is cleared up.
10:02Isn't that a burger?
10:22Used to work one just like it at Barnhurst.
10:35Minds, have a go.
10:35It's funny, you know.
10:49Looks exactly the same.
10:53Ah, feels different to work.
10:55Thanks, Sonia.
11:04All right, back to work.
11:08Well, Roberts, your mates have done it again.
11:11What?
11:12Okay, everybody out.
11:15Cell search.
11:15What for?
11:16You'll find out, Harvey.
11:18Now move.
11:18Morning, Tee.
11:30Hey, Rusty.
11:31Sorry I'm late, old boy.
11:33Had to take the wife to the vet.
11:35You what?
11:37No, not her, unfortunately.
11:39She found a little baby opossum injured under the veranda.
11:42She's got some crazy idea about rearing her.
11:44Talking of crazy, I've got a letter here from your fiancée.
11:54You beauty.
11:56I am pleased to inform you that out of hundreds of applicants, I have chosen you as my fiancée.
12:04Your wife's going to be delighted.
12:06Not mine, old boy.
12:08Yours, remember?
12:09Yeah.
12:10Glad you told me what was happening.
12:11Well, you could have knocked me over with a feather when I saw Dear Mr. West was engaged.
12:15Dear Mr. West.
12:17Well, there's a story there, all right?
12:19Here, then, let's your driver's license, will you?
12:21You're kidding.
12:22Might need some idea at the prison.
12:27Sure you don't want my jacket, too?
12:29No, it's the wrong color.
12:31Listen, if anyone wants me, tell them I'm a good old Wentworth digging up on hell of a story.
12:36Hey, just make sure you don't get me married.
12:44I hope this is not going to be a repeat of the sugar episode, Miss Ferguson.
12:47I can assure you, Governor, we have made a thorough search of the prison and the grounds.
12:51Then someone's falling down on the job.
12:53First we find sugar and yeast, and now homemade alcohol.
12:56Why wasn't it found during the first search?
12:58Perhaps you should ask Mrs. Powell.
13:00She was the officer in charge.
13:02Look, as I said, Governor, there was only one bottle, and Birdsworth hid it on her person until the search was over.
13:08That still doesn't explain where it came from in the first place.
13:10Well, I would say that it was the last of a brew made ages ago, and the sugar and the yeast were for a new batch.
13:17All right, Miss Ferguson.
13:19I hope you're right.
13:21Otherwise, I'd say we had a problem in our own ranks.
13:23OK, ladies, take an order for the Wentworth wine shop.
13:29Yeah, how much?
13:29A dollar a bottle is a real good brew, too, isn't it, Lizzie?
13:33Take your word, please.
13:34Here, put you down for three.
13:35Oh, Frances, how could you?
13:37She'd drink anything and wouldn't know the difference.
13:40Right, I tasted your brew before.
13:42Kills the taste bottle.
13:43What about you, Mason?
13:45I couldn't, I'd be sick.
13:46I'll put you down for three.
13:47Oh, but I...
13:49Reckon you could go half a dozen?
13:50Oh, no, thanks, Phyllis.
13:51Come on, Cass, it'll put hairs on your chest.
13:54Make a man out of you.
13:54Oh, now that's a good one.
13:56I reckon you've already got hairs on your chest, haven't you, Cass?
13:59Come on, give us a look.
13:59I bet you have.
14:00I can't feel bubbies.
14:01All right, all right, that's enough.
14:02There's plenty of other customers.
14:04What about our geriatric artwork?
14:06Don't be so bloody rude.
14:09Anyway, if it wasn't for me, you wouldn't even have any stuff.
14:12Which reminds me, I'm on staff, so I reckon I should have a discount.
14:18Sorry, Birdsworth, no discount.
14:19I'll put you down for a dozen, Bird Bray.
14:27Relax, Birdsworth.
14:29I was never one to interfere with a little private enterprise, you know that.
14:38I've come near so sure there's any booze anywhere.
14:41I mean, the screws never found none on the search.
14:43Good tucker, eh?
15:10It's lovely.
15:10Not like you get back home, but pretty good for the city.
15:14Well, it's a nice change from what we get at Driscoll.
15:16While he cooks, it's veggie burgers.
15:18And when the others cook, it's heaps of chips.
15:21Yeah, it's a pretty nice place for someone that doesn't eat meat.
15:24What do you like better, the city or the country?
15:27Oh, the country.
15:28Well, there's not much to do there.
15:30You should marry.
15:32And I say there's better job opportunities in the city,
15:34but lately I'm beginning to wonder.
15:36Think you'd ever go back?
15:38I don't know.
15:39Depends.
15:41Rosemary?
15:42Yes?
15:44How'd you like?
15:45I mean, seeing you're not having much luck down here.
15:48Look, I'm not one for all that romantic stuff.
15:52It's all right.
15:53Neither am I.
15:53What I'm trying to say is...
15:59Oh, hell.
16:02How'd you like another beer?
16:07Right, mail call, ladies.
16:09Oh, anything for me, Mrs. M.
16:10Sorry, Lizzie.
16:12Mason?
16:13Mason?
16:15Mason.
16:16And this.
16:17Oh, thank you very much.
16:19Hunt, Shaw, Murray.
16:22Right, that's it, ladies.
16:23Roberts?
16:24The Governor would like to see you.
16:29Hey, this must be from one of Pixie's rejects.
16:33I wonder how he got my name.
16:34I sent one for you.
16:36What's he come up with?
16:36Anything for it?
16:37Get out of this.
16:38Dear Phyllis, I'm sure from your letter
16:41that you must be a charming young lady.
16:44Oh, I've never been called that before.
16:46I wonder why.
16:47Jeez, he looks a real nice bloke, too.
16:49He's called Simon.
16:50Give that hair.
16:51Oh, what a spunk.
16:54I bet you're sorry you didn't keep this one, Pix.
16:56Well, I've already married her, Simon.
16:58It'd be too confusing if I had another one.
17:00Well, nobody would know which one I was talking about.
17:03Anyway, I have enough fiancés now.
17:05How come?
17:06Well, I made a few changes to the letters.
17:09I didn't want anyone to feel rejected.
17:11Oh, I do not think you're marrying the whole bang lot of them, are you, love?
17:16Oh, there's only an engagement, Lizzie.
17:18I could always change my mind later on, can't I?
17:21Oh, Pix, there's no hope for you.
17:28Wally?
17:29Wally, where are you?
17:31Who wants me?
17:32It's me, Rosemary.
17:33Have you got a minute?
17:34No, but that hasn't stopped everybody else from giving me a hard time.
17:38What's the problem?
17:39Oh, Wally, I've just had the most wonderful day.
17:41Good, good.
17:42I don't want to hear about any more problems.
17:43Oh, that's right.
17:44You went out to lunch with Bill, didn't you?
17:45Where'd you take him?
17:46Well, the pub office at the park.
17:47That's not what I'm trying to tell you.
17:48No, no, no, slow down, slow down.
17:50What's this all about?
17:51Bill asked me to marry him.
17:53Boy, these country boys sure work fast, don't they?
17:56Oh, not Bill.
17:58Oh, gosh, it was funny.
17:59Well, I sort of knew what he was trying to say,
18:01but he took so long about it, I had to help him along.
18:03Hang on a minute.
18:04I wouldn't call popping the question on the first date exactly dragging the train.
18:08What'd you say to him?
18:09Well, I told him I'd think about it and give him the answer tomorrow.
18:12Tomorrow?
18:13You're not serious.
18:14Why do you say it like that?
18:15I thought you'd be happy about it.
18:17Oh, yeah, well, don't get me wrong.
18:19It's just, can I ask an old-fashioned question like, um, do you love him?
18:24Gee, I don't know.
18:25I only just met him.
18:26But how can you possibly...
18:27Oh, look, I can love him later, Wally.
18:29Well, Dad always said the most important thing was to like someone first.
18:33Well, I like him a lot.
18:34He's terrific.
18:35And he's really hard work.
18:36You only have to look at his hands to see that.
18:39Rosie.
18:40Oh, look, I know I'm not worth much in the city,
18:42but I'm a really good farmhand.
18:44And you do like him?
18:47Well, like your Dad said, that's the main thing.
18:53Afternoon.
18:54I'd like to see Miss Pixie Mason, please.
18:56Your name?
18:57Tom Rollins.
18:58I'm her fiancé.
18:59Well, I will be.
19:00We haven't met yet, but I wrote her a letter and...
19:02Yes, Mr. Rollins.
19:03We know all about it.
19:05Just sign this book, please.
19:10Yes, sir.
19:11Can I help you?
19:11Certainly can.
19:12I'm Andy West, Pixie Mason's fiancé.
19:15Sorry?
19:17What did you say?
19:19Andy West?
19:20No.
19:20There's something about her fiancé.
19:22I'm here to see Pixie Mason.
19:24She's my fiancé.
19:25Like hell she is.
19:26She's going to marry me, and I can prove it.
19:28Look, don't worry about the first bit,
19:31but there's the bit where she agrees to be engaged to me.
19:34Well, I think she makes it pretty clear here
19:35that I'm her fiancé, don't you?
19:37How do I know your letter's not a fake?
19:42I'm sorry, old boy, but I could say the same thing, couldn't I?
19:46Mrs. Reynolds?
19:48There's a slight complication here at the front desk.
20:02I thought you said there were only two.
20:04There were.
20:05The other two just arrived.
20:06Well, any idea if one of them's a journalist?
20:08Well, we checked their identification,
20:10but that doesn't tell us much.
20:13Gentlemen, I think you'll agree
20:16that this whole thing has gone far enough.
20:18I'm very sorry, but I think it'd be better if you all just left.
20:21I don't know about that.
20:22Look, I came here to see my fiancé.
20:24Didn't you all?
20:25Surely you can see how impossible the situation is.
20:28I don't know much about this sort of thing,
20:30but doesn't a prisoner have a right to visit us?
20:33Well, that's right, but this is rather unusual.
20:37Does that matter?
20:38And is there a limit to the number of visitors at any one time?
20:41Well, an inmate can have up to four visitors.
20:44One, two, three, four.
20:46I don't really see the problem.
20:47All right, you've made your point.
20:50All right then, boys, who's going to be first?
20:52I've just come to see...
20:53Oh, don't, don't tell us.
20:54We already know.
20:55You're Pixie Mason's fiancé.
20:58Yes, I am, actually.
20:59I suppose you're another one.
21:02Yes.
21:03Well, Governor, that seems to take care of things.
21:07The regulations are quite clear on this situation.
21:09That's right, Miss Ferguson.
21:12Well, I have no intention of trying to eliminate any of you,
21:15so I suggest we call the whole thing off.
21:17There's no need for that.
21:19We'll toss a coin, see who misses out.
21:21Yeah.
21:22Right, boys?
21:27Just don't ask.
21:29Oh, I couldn't be top dog, Lizzie.
21:38Shh.
21:40Anyway, Sonia's doing okay.
21:42She's got the booze organised and the numbers going.
21:44Now, what do you want someone else for?
21:45But, Cass, we told you about all the terrible things they do.
21:49I don't know.
21:50Sonia seems real nice to me.
21:51Who do you think put Phyllis and Frances up
21:54into bullying the women into the protection racket?
21:57Sonia and the freak, of course.
22:01Cass, we just need someone to help us.
22:03Look, you wouldn't have to give any orders.
22:05I'm sure Lizzie can do all that.
22:06Well, she just needs someone with her, just in case.
22:09Oh, you know what I mean.
22:12No, no way.
22:13No, I'm not bashing anyone.
22:14I hate hurting people.
22:15Oh, no.
22:15So, what do we have to do your work for?
22:18Yes, we're coming.
22:19I'm sorry.
22:23Look, I'm really sorry.
22:25I just can't do it.
22:27What a nice of you to come.
22:38I thought you'd gone on strike.
22:39How could we without the shop steward's permission?
22:43Never mind the back chat.
22:44Just get on the sheets.
22:45Haven't you forgotten something?
22:47I don't have to work if I don't feel like it.
22:50Oh, good, I love what the governor want to see you, man.
22:53You wouldn't believe it, Lizzie.
22:54I can hardly believe it myself.
22:55But they've changed their minds and they're letting you out of here?
22:58No.
22:59But the department approved my marriage to Scott.
23:02Oh, yes!
23:02Oh, I'm happy to get to wear a dress and everything.
23:06Oh, I'm waiting.
23:07I don't believe it.
23:08And when will the happy occasion be?
23:10We don't know yet.
23:11Oh, well, this calls for a celebration.
23:14Everybody get it out for Sandra.
23:17Here is to the happy couple.
23:19Cheers.
23:20Yeah, and I wish you all the happiness you wish yourselves in a long and happy life.
23:24I suppose there's no point in asking what the noise was all about.
23:35Well, Petra's getting married.
23:37Yeah, and we were just wishing the best of luck with Spel.
23:41Good.
23:42Now it's time to get back to work.
23:44Except you, Mason.
23:46You have several visitors.
23:47Oh, my fiancés, they're here!
23:51Oh, don't forget that reporter bloke!
23:55Oh, gee, I love weddings.
24:02Oh, that damn pixie Mason is turning this place into a service.
24:06Oh, don't knock it.
24:07She's giving me the first smile I've had all day.
24:09Problems?
24:10Yes, you could say that.
24:12Family ones.
24:14What, the girlfriend?
24:15Yes.
24:15Oh, come on there, give it time.
24:19I think you're worrying over nothing.
24:21Now, most mothers do get overprotective when their kids start getting romantically involved.
24:25Oh, if that were the problem, I'd be well over it by now.
24:28Well, what is it?
24:30I met Jenny last night.
24:32Only she isn't Jenny.
24:34She's Randy Goodlove.
24:38You are joking.
24:42My God, what did you do?
24:43Well, I just, I just didn't know how to handle it.
24:46I mean, they say they're engaged.
24:50Oh.
24:52Well, one thing's for certain.
24:55Your son's certainly not going to thank you for telling him that his fiancée is a high-priced call girl.
25:00I just can't believe she loves him.
25:04Forget that.
25:05Do they ever change their spots?
25:06Yes, well, that's what's preying on my mind.
25:09Can you imagine it?
25:11Business as usual.
25:13Whenever he's at sea.
25:15Well, you're just going to have to meet her and mourn her off.
25:17Colleen, I just don't know how I'm going to face her.
25:19Look, all you've got to do is to tell her that you'll let Marty know what she really is.
25:25She'll run a mile.
25:28I hope so.
25:30What do you like doing in your spare time?
25:32That is, when you're not in here.
25:36Oh, well, I like going to movies, especially romantic ones.
25:40Do you like books, too?
25:40Oh, yes.
25:42And when the hero takes the heroine into his arms, well, you know they're going to have a lovely wedding and everything will be just wonderful.
25:50Yeah, I know what you mean.
25:51Do you like living in the city or the country?
25:55Oh, well, I don't mind either, really.
25:57Although I have seen some wonderful little places in the country that would just be lovely places to get married in.
26:05What's wrong?
26:06Oh, nothing.
26:08Did I say something to upset you?
26:09Mm.
26:10You were saying you like country churches.
26:15Time's up.
26:18Well, Pixie, I can drop you a line and perhaps I can come and see you again.
26:29Hi there.
26:30You must be Pixie.
26:31I'm Andy West, and that just had to be Dracula's mother, eh?
26:37Oh, hi.
26:38I'm pleased to meet you, Andy.
26:40Pixie.
26:40You know, that man who just left was a newspaper reporter.
26:45No.
26:45Yes.
26:46He pretended to be interested in marrying me just so he could make a story out of it.
26:50Well, that's terrible, Pixie.
26:52Yes.
26:52Well, luckily I was clever enough to pick him up.
26:54You know, none of the men I've met today have been exactly what I had in mind.
26:59Oh, not you, of course.
27:01Well, I think you're rather lovely.
27:03Oh, thanks, Pixie.
27:04Well, now, tell me, how did you come to find yourself in here?
27:10Oh, just bad luck, really.
27:11I'm not a criminal, you know.
27:13I just happen to get married a lot.
27:15Well, that's not illegal, is it?
27:17Well, it shouldn't be.
27:18But you see, I am against divorce.
27:20Well, they're so depressing, aren't they?
27:22They certainly can be.
27:24Now, weddings, oh, there's something special.
27:27I always feel like a queen when I'm wearing a wedding dress, standing in front of the altar,
27:32swearing to be true forever.
27:34Every time?
27:36Oh, yes.
27:37Well, there's something so uplifting about marriages.
27:40And all of my husbands, well, they've been absolutely wonderful.
27:44Would you really consider getting married again?
27:47Oh, I dream of it.
27:48Well, I think it's so terribly unfair that they happen to put me in jail just because I'm so against divorce.
27:57I'm sorry, Pixie.
27:59I'd better get going.
28:01You see?
28:02You don't believe me either.
28:04Not at all.
28:04It's been refreshing to meet someone who really believes in the romance of marriage.
28:10Well, will you come and visit me again, Andy?
28:12I don't think that would be a good idea, Pixie.
28:15There you are.
28:16You think I'm awful?
28:17Not at all, I don't.
28:19I think you're a lovely, sensitive lady and far too good for me.
28:24I hope you find what you're looking for.
28:40You smoke us?
28:42Not enough work, Stevens.
28:45I'd like a word with you.
28:46All right, get on with it.
28:49Well, it's about birdsworth.
28:50What's our senior citizen up to now?
28:52I think she and Mason are trying to get Kes Parker on the side.
28:56What about the others?
28:58Well, Roberts is sure to stick with them, and the rest could follow.
29:01Well, how does Parker feel about it?
29:05Well, how does Parker feel about it?
29:05It's hard to say.
29:07Well, she seems docile enough, but after what you said, I don't want to take any chances.
29:10Very wise, Stevens.
29:11Very wise, Stevens.
29:13She can make mincemeat out of you without raising a sweat.
29:16Not with me if it comes to anything physical.
29:19That's why I pay hoots so well.
29:22All right, well, I suppose we'd better just keep our eye on things.
29:25Make sure the Parker doesn't get any high ideas.
29:27I think a word to Burt's Worth and Mason might take care of that.
29:35Yeah?
29:37All right.
29:46And I was just starting to get to like the one called Tom
29:49when I saw a notebook in his pocket and I realised he must have been in the report.
29:53Bloody hell. I hope you let him have one before.
29:56Oh, I think he realised I was on to him.
29:58Didn't any of them appeal to you?
30:00Oh, well. Well, there was one called Andy West.
30:03I thought he was really interesting and so gentle, but, well, he's not coming back again.
30:07I hope you didn't let him get away.
30:09You didn't give me any choice, Lizzie. He said I was too good for him.
30:13What a rotten thing to say.
30:16Still, I suppose he was probably right.
30:18Don't worry, Pixie. Maybe you'll get some more letters.
30:20Oh, I hope not. As far as I'm concerned, this whole thing has been a thorough waste of time.
30:24Oh, not for us. It looks like you should have seen those screws running around in circles
30:29when all those blokes came in. I thought her face was going to have a stroke.
30:35Pixie, I must admit, you do add a certain I believe to this place.
30:38Yeah, love, you mean a lot to us.
30:41Well, I'm glad you all got something out of it, because it certainly didn't do anything for me.
30:46I think I'll have to try that mental illness thing again if I'm ever going to get out of here.
30:51Well, just stay around long enough for my wedding. It wouldn't be the same without you, Pixie.
30:54Oh, Petra, I've been thinking. I think I'll organise to have all of my wedding dresses brought in here
30:58and then you can choose which one you want for the wedding.
31:00Oh, get her. Some people have fun collecting stamps. She gets her fun by saving up wedding dresses.
31:07That's lovely of you, Pixie, and thank you. But I think Scott wants to organise a dress for you.
31:11Not to worry, Pix. You and me will be able to find plenty of things to help.
31:16All right, you lot, pack up. Parker, get rid of that mess.
31:19All right, yeah, Miss Ferguson.
31:22Excuse me, Miss Ferguson.
31:25What do you want, Birdsworth?
31:26Pixie and me like to see the governor.
31:28All right. Wait in the corridor.
31:46Watch out for my arm.
31:49Listen to me. A little birdie has told me that you two are trying to set up Parker as top dog.
31:55I don't know what you're on about.
31:56But somebody's been feeding you with a load of rubbish.
32:00Don't be so sure.
32:02But just remember, I call the shots around here and you'll take orders from Stevens as long as it suits me.
32:09It's not going to last forever.
32:12Oh, yes, it will.
32:14So it's a waste of time chatting up Parker.
32:17Besides, we can't have a screw killer to represent the women.
32:21Even Mrs. Bleeding Heart Morris wouldn't listen to a screw killer.
32:28Now move.
32:29Be careful what you say to the governor.
32:35What did you want to see me about?
32:37About Petra's wedding, Mrs. Briggles.
32:40We'd like to give a bit of a hand with the preparation.
32:43Do you really think that I should let you take part when you're under punishment?
32:47Oh, yeah.
32:48I forgot about the booze.
32:50I hadn't.
32:52Well, supposing you stopped out by our privileges for a while and then we could just help with the wedding.
32:59Yes, well, it would give us all such a lift, Mrs. Reynolds.
33:01And I could make the wedding cake and all the others could help with the decoration.
33:06What a good idea.
33:07And then we could all put in some money, Mrs. Reynolds.
33:09We could buy wedding presents and wrap them up.
33:11Governor, don't you see what this is going to do to discipline?
33:14These women will have their heads in the clouds and we won't get any work out of them.
33:17Oh, there wouldn't be any trouble, Mrs. Reynolds.
33:19The others would be too busy getting ready for the wedding.
33:22Oh, yes, you wouldn't be sorry, Mrs. Reynolds.
33:25All right.
33:25But you'll both have to lose a further buyer and if there's any trouble, I'll stop your involvement immediately.
33:32Oh, good on you, Mrs. Reynolds.
33:38Yeah, we'll come up as soon as possible, I promise.
33:41We will.
33:43Love you.
33:44Bye.
33:46How are things going, love?
33:47Oh, great.
33:49That was Dad.
33:49I've told him I've decided to marry Bill.
33:51Now, you really are sure this is what you want to do?
33:56Yeah, I've thought it all out.
33:58Well, then I wish you the best, both of you.
34:01Thanks.
34:03I just wish Judy was here.
34:04I hate leaving when you've got so much to worry about.
34:07Oh, look, you've got your own life to worry about.
34:10And I tell you what, it's going to make Judy's day when she hears how everything's worked out so well.
34:16You know, you really are one of Driscoll's success stories.
34:19Oh, thanks, Wally.
34:20Thanks for everything you've done for me.
34:22You're worth it.
34:24Tell you what, get in the blower and invite Bill over for tea.
34:27That is, if you think we've got no food in the house.
34:31And we got everything we asked for, didn't we, Pete?
34:35Ferguson wouldn't have liked that.
34:36He didn't, he hated it.
34:39Hey, you and me, we could make mincemeat out of Sonia in Ferguson.
34:45My brain, your muscle, we could miss.
34:47I'll be round after tea to take the orders for the booze, right?
34:53How's the hot shot from Barnhurst?
34:55Oh, I'm good, thanks, Phyllis.
34:57And that you're not so big around Wentworth?
34:59No, no, I'm just the same.
35:01You leave her alone, Phyllis, and get back to your own table.
35:05Sonia's getting jealous.
35:07You shut your neck, Winkles, and you just had your money ready, all of it.
35:10Now, where was I when we were so rudely interrupted?
35:15Oh, I know.
35:17The governor even gave us permission for me to make your wedding cake, love.
35:22Oh, Lizzie, that'd be lovely.
35:23Well, I hope you can find the right ingredients, Lizzie.
35:27Booze.
35:27Huh?
35:28You can't make a wedding cake without booze.
35:31Oh, well, you'll have to place an order with Phyllis.
35:34God, that'd only be like Nat's pee.
35:37Now, we've got to have something off the top shelf, like a good brandy or a sherry like
35:42Mrs. Davidson used to keep.
35:47Oh.
35:48Come on, ladies, you're wasting your own recreation time.
35:58You all right, Lizzie?
36:04I think I might have a bit of angina pectoris, Mrs. M.
36:08What?
36:09Oh, me old tick is playing up again.
36:11But you're not working, are you?
36:12No, but me brain's getting a bit rusty, and I reckon I need a change.
36:17Do you have anything special in mind?
36:19A little bit of light polishing or dusting.
36:21Oh, with that arm?
36:22Oh, I can easily use me left, Mrs. M.
36:25All right, Lizzie, I'll see what I can organise.
36:28Oh, good on you, Mrs. M.
36:30You're a good sport.
36:32Hey, Pitsy, this is going to be a ripper of a wedding cake.
36:39Ah!
36:40Ah!
36:47Come in.
36:51Good morning, Mrs. Reynolds.
36:53I was wondering if I could do a bit of dusting or something.
36:56Yes, all right, Lizzie, but keep it quiet.
36:58Oh, you won't even know I'm here.
37:00Okay.
37:30Oh, God, look what I've done.
37:40I knocked it with me elbow.
37:42Lizzie.
37:43Oh, I'm sorry.
37:44I'll clean it up.
37:46You bet he had someone else to do it.
37:48No, I can do it.
37:52There.
37:58Finished.
38:00Well, I hope you're doing light duties only.
38:05Oh, I only light duties, Mrs Powell.
38:10Hello, Colleen.
38:12Nearly through.
38:13No, no, that's not what I'm here for.
38:16We've got bad news, I'm afraid.
38:19No worries, Wally.
38:20She'll fit right into our family.
38:22I won't be sorry to see her leave the city, you know.
38:24It's not her scene at all.
38:26Well, have you got everything?
38:30Yes.
38:31You'll see to have those country roses back on those cheeks again.
38:34Well, it'll be great to get back, Wally.
38:36Everything that's happened to me in the city has been worth it.
38:38I've made some really good friends.
38:40You'll be happy.
38:41Don't you worry, I'll take care of her.
38:45Look, I know how much you've been worrying about Julia.
38:47I'll keep praying that she's okay.
38:49Thanks, love.
38:50I'll drop you a line as soon as I know what's going to happen.
38:53We'd better get there.
38:54We'll see ourselves off.
38:56Okay.
38:57Good luck.
38:57Good luck.
38:57Driscoll House.
39:08Hi, Wally.
39:09It's me.
39:11Hello.
39:12What's the problem?
39:14The police have found Judy.
39:18Damn.
39:20She's on her way to Wentworth now.
39:24Putting Judy back inside is going to be the absolute end for her.
39:28I know, but we'll do everything we can to make things easier for her.
39:32Thanks for letting me know.
39:35I'll give you a call as soon as she arrives and you can come and see her, all right?
39:39Yep.
39:42Bye.
39:51Trying to make out you can read?
39:53Oh, no.
39:53No, I learnt in primary school.
39:55What do you know?
39:56An intellectual screw killer.
39:58Hey, guess what?
40:00I've got all the booze we need for the cake.
40:02How did you manage that?
40:04Oh, dead easy.
40:05And Mrs Reynolds didn't have a clue.
40:06Oh, you took an awful chance, Lucy.
40:08No.
40:09I've got brains I haven't even used yet.
40:11It's really good stuff.
40:13A nice cognate.
40:15Pleasant on the bugle and smooth on the back palate.
40:19Important French, of course.
40:20Oh, of course.
40:21Grown on the western slopes of Mont Plonk and spraying through the winemaker's sock.
40:27Are you sure you've left enough for the cake, Lizzie?
40:30Plenty.
40:31But I had to check it out first, didn't I?
40:32But don't you worry, love.
40:34That cake's going to be a piece of resistance.
40:38Hey, hey, there's a recipe in here for a cake, Lizzie.
40:40Are you reading that upside down, stupid?
40:43You should be in the happy house for half weeks.
40:46Not here.
40:48Oh, cats!
40:49Oh, I didn't mean nothing.
40:57I just wanted to see if she'd get a bit of a fright, that's all.
40:59I'm south, Bill.
41:06I can't see her presenting us with any problems, Lizzie.
41:11Would you like a drink?
41:12Oh, we are serious, aren't we?
41:14This is no ordinary lunch date, good love, and you know it.
41:17You can call me Jenny.
41:18I'll call you what I like.
41:21Now, do you want a drink or not?
41:23No, thank you.
41:23Well, I'm a girl of sober habits, remember?
41:26I know all about your habits.
41:30So let's forget the play-acting, shall we?
41:32All right.
41:35Well, what's on your mind?
41:37I want you to break off the engagement to my son.
41:40And if I don't?
41:42Well, I'll be forced to tell him exactly what you are.
41:45And about your conviction for soliciting.
41:48You wouldn't take the risk.
41:50And even if you did, he'd never believe you.
41:52I could produce proof.
41:55Proof of what?
41:56That girl in the prison was Randy Goodlove, not sweet little Jenny.
42:00Of course, you could produce police photographs, but the quality of those isn't the best.
42:05Your fingerprints are on file.
42:07Correction, Mrs. Morris.
42:08Randy Goodlove's fingerprints are on file.
42:10And this little lady isn't about to volunteer to provide her prints so that you can make a comparison.
42:14Oh, you're a calculating little bitch at you.
42:17Well, look on the bright side.
42:19You were the one who suggested I take a more respectable view of life.
42:23Now I'm going to.
42:24I'm getting married.
42:25I promise you, you will never marry Marty.
42:30And somehow, I'll make him see the truth about you, no matter what I have to do.
42:34Go ahead.
42:35But remember, if you convince Marty, he'll hate you for it.
42:39If you don't, he'll marry me anyway and still hate you for it.
42:44Listen, the smartest thing you can do is to welcome me into the family.
42:49I promise I'll only carry on my business while Marty's away.
42:51I mean, you can learn to live with that.
42:53You can't be serious.
42:55Oh, yes, I am.
42:58Marty will be happy.
42:59I'll be happy.
43:01And you?
43:02Well, two out of three is not bad.
43:11He used to give me roses.
43:13I wish he could again
43:19But that was on the outside
43:24And things were different then
43:29On the inside
43:31The sun still shines
43:34And the rain falls down
43:39But the sun and rain are Christmas too
43:44When morning comes around
43:49Last night I dreamed we were together
43:54Sharing all the love with more
44:00Till I had to face the nightmare
44:05Awaken up alone
44:10On the inside
44:11The roses grow
44:13They don't land the stony ground
44:19But the roses here are Christmas too
44:24When morning comes around
44:29Yeah
44:30God
44:38Till I get back
44:39I can't ever see theazar
44:41The leaps
44:42I will wash
