00:00Neighbors
00:03Everybody needs good neighbors
00:07With a little understanding
00:11You can find the perfect plan
00:17Neighbors
00:20Should be there for one another
00:24That's when good neighbors become friends
00:36I'll be back tomorrow
00:38You might cope better than you think
00:40Thank you
00:42You've missed Jane Michael, we might catch her down at the office
00:45Actually it wasn't Jane, I came to see you
00:47I beg your pardon?
00:49I reckon it's high time somebody took you to task over what you're doing to her
00:53Oh yes?
00:54And tell me what exactly am I supposed to be doing to her?
00:56You are ruining her life
00:58But I reckon you know that already don't you?
01:00I'm sorry Mike, you're very obviously worked up about something
01:03Now why don't you just...
01:04You know exactly what I'm worked up about
01:06The way you've got her to dress different, look different, even think different
01:10Me?
01:11Yeah, and I'll tell you why
01:13You're jealous aren't you?
01:15That's it isn't it?
01:16I mean most mothers have just got a daughter
01:18You have got competition
01:19I mean she's bright, pretty, must be pretty hard to take
01:22I don't have to listen to any of this garbage
01:24Yeah you're absolutely right
01:25But you do have a conscience, maybe you'll listen to that one day
01:28The fact is Mrs. Harris, Jane used to be happy with herself before you came here
01:32When she was confident, on top of things
01:34Just happy
01:35Now she's miserable and taking it out on all of her friends
01:38I'm sorry Michael, I don't have to listen to any more of this
01:41You were fine, you could see yourself out
01:45You know it's sad really
01:47I mean Jane's got so much love to give to you
01:49You can't kid yourself a young forever Mrs. Harris
01:52Just look in the mirror one day
01:54I don't know Des, I'll think about it alright
02:07Well it's no big deal
02:08It's just that we haven't been out together since Jamie was born
02:11I know
02:12Paul's offered us a free feed at Lassiter's
02:14I won't complain
02:15Well I'll see how Jamie is after his check-up today okay
02:18I won't promise anything
02:19Who's gonna babysit if we go out?
02:22Are you kidding?
02:24I can think of ten people at least
02:26And Mike is gonna be the godfather
02:28We'll jump at the chance
02:29Won't you mate?
02:30Sorry
02:31Babysitting Jamie tonight, you'll be in it?
02:33Yeah, whatever
02:36Are you alright Mike? You look a bit flushed
02:39Angry is the word
02:40I'm this far from punching a brick wall I reckon
02:43Trouble with Jane again eh?
02:45Jane's not the problem
02:46It's that phony clothes horse of a mother
02:49When I went round there
02:50To try and sort out
02:51Why she's been treating Jane like a little kid
02:53Next thing I know
02:54She belted
02:55She what?
02:56Oh you must have said something to upset her right?
02:59Only what I thought
03:00She doesn't want a daughter
03:01She wants a puppet
03:02I'll go around and sort this out
03:04Mrs. Menningle comes home from hospital today
03:06We don't want to walk it into World War 3
03:08Think about it tonight, you know, okay?
03:10I will
03:11If he reckons he can go round there and talk some sense into it
03:15He's got to be kidding himself
03:18Probably end up with a black eye
03:20I wonder how this isn't exactly my first choice as a neighbour, that's for sure
03:24It's just so frustrating
03:25I mean she knows what she's doing to her
03:27She just doesn't care
03:28See all, she is Jane's mother
03:30We've got enough to get through without our interference
03:33And you've said your piece
03:35Yeah
03:37Come on then
03:38Make us both a cup of coffee
03:39Black and strong
03:44Enough?
03:45Yeah, that's fine, don't want it too sweet
03:47You sure you're alright now?
03:50Just been such an emotional time
03:52Especially with Mum coming out of hospital today
03:55I'm sorry, Mike can be pretty direct at times
03:57I'm sure he didn't mean to upset you
04:00He obviously cares for Jane, I can't be too harsh on him for that
04:03I overreacted
04:06It's just such a difficult moment
04:09I must be holding you up even
04:10I'm going to be late for work
04:12Not everybody has to punch a clock
04:14They can do without me for a while
04:16Of course you're the manager
04:18It does have its privileges
04:20Anyway, I'm not leaving here till I get a smile out of you
04:22You've had a pretty rough deal lately
04:24I have, haven't I?
04:26First with the marriage break up
04:28And then the shock of Mum's heart attack
04:31Jane needs all my strength at the moment
04:34Oh, look at me, I'm shaking like a leaf
04:38She'll understand, Jane's a good kid
04:40She's very lucky to have a friend like you, Des
04:43It was just that when Mike accused me of being a bad mother, I...
04:47It's alright, it's alright, you didn't mean it, it's alright
04:51I don't know if I'm more amazed that you spoke to Amanda like that
04:56Or proud of you for having the guts to do so
04:59I just couldn't stand all the rubbish that she was spouting
05:02About how she supposedly cares for Jane, the sacrifice that she's made for Jane
05:06She knows it's not true
05:08It must have hit a raw nerve, why else would she slap you?
05:10Obviously the truth hurts
05:12I can say that again
05:13Looks like Des copped the treatment too
05:16What someone did was come to Erinsborough to try and sort things out with Jane
05:21But no, no, no, no, Ramsey Street has to get together and form its own kangaroo court
05:24To hell we're giving anybody
05:38Will this one do?
05:40Oh splendid, I really don't like this tartan one
05:44The wool makes me itchy
05:46And er, I think my water bottle's lukewarm now
05:50You've only had it an hour, Mum
05:51Well, perhaps the water wasn't boiling properly
05:55Would you mind, dear?
05:57No trouble
06:05About time to, where the hell have you been?
06:07Well, I called into the coffee shop to get us something for dinner
06:09I thought I'd make a salad to go with it
06:11But while you're in the kitchen, you might as well fill that
06:13And you'd better make sure that the hot water is boiling
06:15Or else you won't hear the last of it
06:17I am getting out of here before I scrape
06:19Great
06:20Well, my mum aren't you staying for dinner?
06:21I said I am getting out of here, excuse me
06:24Expect me when you see me
06:25Expect me when you see me
06:35What do you think?
06:37You grow it, we melt it
06:38Punchy, mate, definitely punchy
06:40Refill, sir? No worries
06:41What's so funny?
06:42You haven't missed a trick, do you, mate?
06:43Oh, the jacket, you mean?
06:44Yeah, pretty nifty, eh?
06:45Well, I used to advertise this
06:46There you go, sir
06:47And a little reading material for you
06:48You might find that enlightening
06:49Thank you
06:50Remember the old saying, Des
06:51Customer born every minute
06:52Excuse me
06:53Hello, stranger
06:54Do you mind if I join you?
06:55Uh, no
06:56Hi
06:57Can I get you a drink?
06:58Oh, whiskey sour, please
06:59No problem
07:00No problem
07:01Um, he's on the phone, won't be a sec
07:02Well, we're feeling a bit better over this morning
07:03Not much
07:04It was really good to know that somebodyçš„
07:06Uh, this, that was a Mr. Gimble on the phone
07:10He said his wife's cooking
07:12He can't make dinner
07:13He can't make dinner
07:14Or did he go to dinner
07:15He can't make dinner
07:16Ah, what do you think?
07:17At least I don't know
07:18What do you think?
07:19I don't know
07:20Does he know how he's a good player?
07:21much. It was really good to know
07:23that somebody came.
07:25Des, that was Mr. Gimble on the phone.
07:27He said his wife's crook. He can't make dinner.
07:29He'll call you tomorrow morning.
07:30Damn it. Is there a problem?
07:33He's got a small
07:34chain of hardware stores. We're going to talk about
07:36taking over the business at the bank.
07:39I don't know much about hardware,
07:41but I do know I'm hungry.
07:43Would I make a reasonable substitute?
07:46Gee, I
07:47don't know, Amanda. Mrs. Harris?
07:49I should be getting home.
07:51Actually, I do have some business to discuss.
07:53I've still got that money to invest.
07:55Why don't you cancel your
07:56reservation at the restaurant and we can eat here?
07:59It won't take long.
08:02I suppose...
08:03Oh, come on, Des.
08:04Don't make me eat alone. I am
08:06feeling miserable enough after the way Mike
08:08talked to me this morning.
08:10I suppose it wouldn't hurt. Henry, do us a favour, mate.
08:12Call the restaurant and cancel my reservation.
08:14And a whiskey salad for the lady?
08:17We'll be over here.
08:18Thanks, mate.
08:18Thanks.
08:20Sure thing.
08:25How's Jamie?
08:26Sleeping like a log.
08:28Oh, that's good.
08:29Main thing is his head's cleared up.
08:31Maybe he wasn't getting a cold after all.
08:33Well, have you still got time to go and meet up with Des for dinner?
08:36No.
08:38I'd have to go and get ready.
08:40No.
08:41Now, wait a minute, Daphne.
08:42They were going to meet at the waterhole first, right?
08:44Mm.
08:44Well, they'll be there having one drink or so.
08:47Come on, you've been cooped up long enough in here.
08:49You deserve a night out.
08:52Yeah.
08:53I do, don't I?
08:55And I'll be here, so Jamie won't be a problem.
08:57Mike, you're brilliant.
08:59I'd better hurry.
09:01Do you want me to phone Des and tell him that you're coming?
09:04No.
09:05I'll surprise him.
09:13This is absolutely superb.
09:15You've really got to try something.
09:17Oh, it couldn't be as good as this T-bone.
09:22Well.
09:24Have some more.
09:25Oh, this is like Mum trying to get me to eat me lamb for a long time.
09:28I promise you, this is nothing like lamb's fry.
09:32Open wide.
09:33Oh, no, no, no, no.
09:34Come on.
09:36Mm.
09:37Mm.
09:38Come on.
09:42Yes.
09:48Excuse me, sir.
09:52You're calling me?
09:53What's the problem?
09:55Mate, it's not my problem.
09:56It's yours.
09:58Well, that's dinner cleared away.
10:02And very nice it was, too.
10:04Oh.
10:06Come, Jane.
10:07Come and talk to me.
10:11You know, lying in a hospital bed is one of the most sobering experiences in life.
10:18Oh, even for a teetotaler like me.
10:22I'm pleased you're here again.
10:24Oh, me too.
10:26But when you got sick, Nan, I felt so guilty.
10:29Oh, hush, child, hush.
10:30The past is the past.
10:33But I've been meaning to talk to you about some other changes that have been made in my absence.
10:38This is to please Amanda, I take it?
10:43No, Nan, it's my own decision.
10:45I feel comfortable dressed like this.
10:47It's more my personality.
10:49I see.
10:50Anyway, it's what's inside that counts.
10:53Knock, knock.
10:54How's the patient?
10:55Ah, Mr. Bishop.
10:57It's not been too difficult, I trust it.
10:59Good, because I have a rather special visitor.
11:02Really?
11:03Hello, Nell.
11:05Nice to see you're on the mend.
11:07It was touch and go, apparently.
11:09Yes, yes, we heard.
11:11I could have gone like that, you know.
11:14Yes, well, you didn't, and we should all be grateful for a second chance.
11:18Yes, well, um, actually, Nell, I, um, I want to apologise.
11:28My behaviour towards you left a great deal to be desired.
11:33I'm pleased the good Lord allows you to unburden yourself, Mrs. Ramsey,
11:37and I'm sure I can find it in myself to forgive and forget eventually.
11:44There.
11:45Now, that's what I call a happy resolution.
11:48Mrs. Mangles back in Ramsey Street, and all's right with the world, eh?
11:51Just like one big happy family.
11:55Daphne, one word at a time, okay?
11:57I can't help you if you're going to start raving on.
12:00He told me it was a business dinner.
12:02It's obvious he had no intention of me going.
12:04I can't believe that.
12:05No?
12:06Well, you should have seen him laughing and giggling like eight-year-olds.
12:10I feel so gullible.
12:12Well, he offered to stay home, didn't he?
12:13Of course he did.
12:14He knows I wouldn't want that.
12:15Des's job always comes first.
12:18Now, have a look at this morning.
12:19He couldn't wait to get over and pacify poor Mrs. Harris.
12:22Just wait till you know the facts, okay?
12:24I know the facts, all right.
12:26She's out for all she can get, and my husband thinks I'm an absolute idiot.
12:29Well, he's going to have a very difficult time explaining this one away, mate,
12:32because I have no intention of letting him back inside this house.
12:36Yeah, well, it might be a bit late for that.
12:37He's just arrived home.
12:38That's his problem.
12:41And if he tries to get past this, I'll call the police and have him charge for breaking and entering.
12:47I mean it, Mike.
12:48He's not setting a foot back inside this house.
12:51Daphne, do you really think this is going to help?
12:54Yep.
12:55I think it'll hold.
12:56That's not what I meant.
12:57Daphne, change on the door.
13:04I know.
13:05Come on, sweetie, I can explain.
13:07I am not your sweetie, and I have no intention of listening to your explanations.
13:12Daphne, don't you think she'll give him a chance?
13:13No.
13:14Come on, Daphne, you're acting like a child.
13:16Ow!
13:16It's better than acting like a philanderer.
13:20A what?
13:21I hope she was worth it, Daphne,
13:23because you are not setting a foot back inside this house.
13:26Neighbors
13:29Everybody needs good neighbors
13:33Just a friendly wave each morning
13:36Helps to make a better day
13:42Neighbors
13:46Need to get to know each other
13:49Next door is only
13:53A footstep
13:55Away
13:56Neighbors
14:01Neighbors
14:02Everybody needs good neighbors
14:06With a little understanding
14:10You can find the perfect plan
14:14Neighbors
14:18Should be there for one another
14:22That's when good neighbors
14:26Become good friends
14:28Become good friends
14:32Friends
