00:00Neighbors, everybody needs good neighbors
00:07With a little understanding
00:11You can find the perfect blend
00:17Neighbors should be there for one another
00:23That's when good neighbors become good friends
00:36Yeah, it's very bad.
00:38Des, what is it?
00:40I don't know how I'm going to tell you.
00:42What? Tell me!
00:44It was Mike's, Mike.
00:45Now, Des, don't expect him to turn into a guard dog overnight
00:48because I haven't even taught him how to fetch a ball yet.
00:50But you'll get it, won't you, boy?
00:53What's wrong, Des?
00:57Look, mate, I...
00:58What is it?
01:01Your mother called.
01:02I don't know how I'm going to tell you this, but...
01:06Your father died this morning.
01:10Dad?
01:11Yeah.
01:13Oh, Mike, I'm so sorry.
01:16What's all this?
01:17Oh, I have an exhibition next month. It slipped my mind completely.
01:26Well, that's hardly surprising, considering all the hoo-ha that's been going on.
01:31Yes, well, hoo-ha or not, it came as a bit of a shock this morning when the director of the gallery rang me and asked me when I'd be taking my paintings in.
01:39What did you say?
01:40I fibbed.
01:41I said I'd almost finished going through my catalogue. Almost finished. Look at it all.
01:48And I haven't touched the stuff in the garage. And half of that needs framing. I don't know how I'm going to manage.
01:53I'll give you a hand this afternoon, if you like.
01:55Oh, Jim, would you?
01:56Yeah, I'd love to. What do you mean, to clean out the garage?
01:59It would make things easier.
02:01We can rope Scott in.
02:02Nah, too late for that, I'm afraid.
02:04Why?
02:05He's helping Des and Mike move Clive into the flat behind the surgery.
02:08Well, we'll just have to make do with the tours.
02:14You all right, mate?
02:17Here.
02:20I should be crying or something.
02:22Who says?
02:23I don't know. I just should.
02:25There's no rules, mate. You just do as you feel.
02:29I don't know how I feel, Des.
02:31Don't force it.
02:33I should be really upset.
02:36He was my father. I should be devastated.
02:40All I sort of feel is relieved.
02:44Is that wrong?
02:46Of course it's not wrong.
02:47For heaven's sake, Mark, he used to bash you.
02:50He was still my father.
02:52Yeah, but not a very good one.
02:56Why didn't Mum tell me herself?
02:59I don't know.
03:01She shouldn't have left it up to you.
03:03Yeah, maybe, but I guess she wasn't feeling up to it.
03:09Did she say how he died?
03:10Yeah, it was a heart attack.
03:15Is that all she said?
03:17Well, I guess she didn't want to talk over the phone.
03:21I'd better go and see her.
03:23You should.
03:25Do you want us to go with you?
03:26Oh, no thanks.
03:27No.
03:29There's a lot of things that haven't been said between me and Mum.
03:33Now that he's gone, maybe we can say it.
03:37Look, we're both sorry. You know that, don't you?
03:40Yeah.
03:42Take care, mate. We'll be here when you get back.
03:43You want to talk about it?
03:45Yeah.
03:49If I could only...
03:51cry, then I'd...
03:53then I'd know that I loved him.
04:00Better give Clive a ring.
04:02Tell him that Mike and I won't be able to give him a hand with the move.
04:06Hope he's alright.
04:08He'll cope.
04:10We're his family now, so we'll make sure he does.
04:21Well, I don't think I'll ever get out of the prison routine.
04:24Not the way you're going.
04:26Look, Mum, explain where I got that $60.
04:28Now you can check with Paul or his dad if you don't believe her.
04:30Yes, but I think regular morning exercise is a very good thing.
04:33Shane!
04:34If you should take Henry jogging with you tomorrow, you could show him that track through the park.
04:39Oh, how about it, mate?
04:41I might, for a hundred bucks.
04:43I didn't take your money.
04:46And you've got $60 that belongs to me.
04:48It's funny, I could have sworn it was mine.
04:50I think I'll hang on to it, just in case.
04:53Oh, don't start again, you two. It is Sunday after all, a day of rest.
05:00Harold went to church with me this morning.
05:02As he's decided to settle in Aaronsborough, he's looking for a place.
05:09Oh, that'll suit you, having him nice and handy.
05:13Your thought isn't unappealing.
05:15He's a good old bloke, Harold.
05:17I think it's great that he's staying around.
05:18Well, finding a place isn't going to be easy.
05:23It'll have to be perfect to meet his standards.
05:26Oh, he'll find something.
05:28Oh, hell, look at the time. I'm running late and I promised Clyde I'd help him shift.
05:32Aunty Madge.
05:33Aunty Madge.
05:34Mmm.
05:35I've just put my clothes through the washing machine and, well, I haven't got time to hang them out, so...
05:40It's all right, Shane. I'll do it for you.
05:42And if you're going to be moving furniture, put some overalls on.
05:46Hey, Shane.
05:48Yeah?
05:49I've got nothing on this afternoon. I wouldn't mind giving Clyde a hand.
05:52Thanks, but we've got more than enough helpers as it is.
05:55You'd only be in the way.
05:59Oh, Henry, I'm sorry.
06:01I'm afraid, Shane, isn't ready to be convinced you didn't take his money.
06:05As long as you believe me, Mum.
06:06I'll never doubt you again, Henry.
06:07I just wish Shane had come round.
06:09Oh, forget about him.
06:10We've never agreed on anything.
06:13Looks like we never will.
06:21Shane!
06:22You come here immediately.
06:23I want to talk to you!
06:37Mom?
06:43Oh, Mike.
06:48Tell me about Dad.
06:52We were having an argument.
06:55About money.
06:56As always.
06:58He was calling me names.
07:01As always.
07:04And all of a sudden, he stopped.
07:06In mid-sentence, he just stopped as though he couldn't breathe anymore.
07:11And then he crumpled and fell over.
07:15He just collapsed right in front of me.
07:18It was awful.
07:24By the time they got him to the hospital, he was dead.
07:27It's okay now, Mum.
07:30Come inside. I'll make you a cup of tea.
07:32I don't want to go back inside.
07:35I don't want to see the place where...
07:38You don't have to if you're not feeling up to him.
07:40Well, what am I going to do?
07:41There's the notice for the paper and the funeral.
07:43All those things that have to be done.
07:45I'll take care of him away.
07:48I didn't know if he'd come.
07:51I would scarcely have blamed you if he hadn't.
07:53None of that matters anymore.
07:55Look, no matter what happens, we'll get through it.
07:57Oh, Mike.
07:59Whatever would I do without you?
08:04Well, I make it an even hundred, but perhaps you should count it just to make sure.
08:10It's all there.
08:11Twenty, forty...
08:13And this would seem to be the money you accused Henry of stealing.
08:16Look, I'm sorry.
08:18Sixty, eight...
08:19I said I'm sorry.
08:21One hundred.
08:23Well, I must have left it in the bib on my overalls.
08:25Well, I didn't think of looking there.
08:26No.
08:27Don't worry about it.
08:28No, look, I feel bad.
08:29Yes, so you should.
08:31Look, there's no harm done.
08:34Just give me back my sixty dollars and he won't say another word about it.
08:42There you go.
08:43Nuh-uh.
08:45I can't accept this money.
08:46It's been laundered.
08:48It'll dry.
08:49Stick it in front of the heater or something.
08:51No.
08:52I want my money back.
08:54The money I had in the first place.
09:04Sixty bucks.
09:05There you go.
09:06You happy now?
09:08Yeah.
09:10Uh...
09:11I'd stick those in front of the heater if I was you.
09:13Yeah, thanks, yeah.
09:14I'll do that.
09:19I wonder how Rosemary's getting on with the financiers of Disclosure magazine.
09:23I hope she can sort something up for all our sex.
09:25Well, she'd better.
09:26Or the Daniels Corporation could be in real trouble.
09:28Yes, and I have one or two purely selfish reasons for wanting things to run smoothly at the moment.
09:32Yeah?
09:34I've told Paul that I need to spend more time at home painting.
09:37What was his reaction to that?
09:38He understood.
09:39I must be mellowing in his old age.
09:42Well, Jane's very good at her job.
09:44Now she's familiar with all the procedures.
09:46She can take care of all the bookings for home, James, if I'm not there.
09:50Oh, what's all this for?
09:52Won't you be lonely at home?
09:54I think I'll manage.
09:56Well, you won't even have me to talk to when I get home from school.
09:59You'll have to wait until Scott and Dad get home.
10:01I'll be a long way away.
10:03Don't you want to go to France, Liz?
10:05Yes.
10:06All of a sudden you don't sound too sure.
10:08I want to be here too.
10:11What if we promise to write to you every day and tell you everything that happens?
10:14Will that help?
10:16Yeah, a bit.
10:18Perhaps if you keep yourself busy for the rest of the day, it'll keep your mind off having to leave us.
10:21Why don't you give your gran and me a hand to clean up the garage, darling?
10:24Oh, I can't, Dad.
10:25I have to finish my packing.
10:29What do you know?
10:30Instant cure for travel nerves.
10:32Thank you, Mike.
10:35I don't know what I'd do without you.
10:38You don't have to do without me, Mum.
10:39So stop thinking about it.
10:41I wish it was that simple.
10:43Like I told you, I'd take care of everything.
10:45There's nothing to worry about.
10:46Except...
10:49You know your father wasn't very good with money.
10:53I don't mean to say he didn't take care of me.
10:57He always did.
10:58He provided me with a nice house and all that, but...
11:01Well, things weren't going too well.
11:04He had to borrow.
11:06And that didn't work, so he borrowed some more.
11:09And to cut a long story short, he...
11:12He's left debts.
11:14A lot of debts.
11:17I just don't know how I'm going to pay them off.
11:21All I'm going to have is the pension.
11:23But you and Dad have plenty of money.
11:25It's gone.
11:26It can't be.
11:28I just don't know how I'm going to cope.
11:30I know I can't ask you for help because of your studies.
11:33I will help.
11:34We'll manage somehow, Mum.
11:36What about your university?
11:37We'll have to put that off for a while.
11:39I'll get a full-time job or something.
11:41Mike, I can't let you do that.
11:42Don't argue.
11:43We have no choice.
11:47I've always tried to do the right thing by you.
11:49You know that, don't you?
11:52I did.
11:54I tried so hard.
11:56But there were times when my loyalty just had to go to the man I married.
12:00I'm surprised.
12:01Well, you must believe me, Mike.
12:03I did everything I possibly could.
12:07Yeah, I know you did.
12:09Now it's my turn.
12:14We'd better have our tea then.
12:16Yeah.
12:17Before it gets cold.
12:18My poor, only my hands have gone all shaky.
12:23Oh, Mike.
12:25You're so good to me.
12:28So good.
12:29Yes.
12:30I thought you were going to help Clive shift us today.
12:31You better get on with it or you'll be out until midnight.
12:32And, Madge, I've been thinking I might move out for a while.
12:33Into Clive's new place, you mean?
12:34Nah, it's got nothing to do with him.
12:35It's because of me, isn't it?
12:36No, Shane, I won't have it.
12:37This is your house as much as it is mine.
12:38I'm not going to have you feeling you've been pushed out.
12:39Oh, I don't, honest.
12:40It's just that, well, Paul said I could use the caravan at Lasseter's any time I wanted to,
12:42and I might as well take advantage of the offer.
12:43This is your home.
12:44Yeah, I know, and I'll be back,
12:46but I want to be by myself for a while.
12:49No, it's just a day, you better get on with it or you'll be out until midnight.
12:53I've been thinking I might move out for a while.
12:54Into Clive's new place, you mean?
12:55Nah, it's got nothing to do with him.
12:57No, Shane, I won't have it.
12:58This is your house as much as it is mine.
13:01I'm not going to have you feeling you've been pushed out.
13:03Oh, I don't, honest.
13:04It's just that, well, Paul said I could use the caravan at Lasseter's any time I wanted to,
13:07I know, and I'll be back, but I want to be by myself for a while.
13:11Don't take it personally, but...
13:14Well, I hate sharing my room with anyone.
13:17I want to spread out a bit, make as much mess as I like.
13:21No, Kay, but remember, it's your room.
13:23Your house, not mine.
13:25Sure.
13:27While I'm away, it's all yours.
13:29Couldn't think of better hands to leave it in.
13:31Friends?
13:32Friends.
13:33No, leave that. I'll probably use it later.
13:37All right.
13:38If Clive rings, tell him I'll be there soon.
13:41I've got to go and see Helen and see if I can pick up a spare set of keys for the van.
13:45See you later.
13:52I'm sorry, Mum, but I don't think he wanted to be talked out of it.
13:57No, I don't think he did.
14:00What about these?
14:01Oh, well, those I want to hang go in the box on the right,
14:05and those that I hate go in the box on the left,
14:08so that I can paint over them.
14:10This pile?
14:12The undersiders.
14:15Right, these two.
14:16Oh, I don't know. What do you think?
14:18Well, they're grey.
14:19Okay, over there on the right.
14:22G'day.
14:24What's this?
14:25Trash and treasure?
14:26That depends.
14:28What can we do for you?
14:29Have you still got a spare set of keys for the caravan at Lasseter's?
14:32I think so. Inside somewhere.
14:34Oh, do you mind if I borrowed them?
14:35Paul said I could use them any time I wanted to.
14:37Of course. Come on, we'll go and find them.
14:39Moving out.
14:39For a while.
14:43It's, um...
14:44It's a bit crowded in there at the moment.
14:48It's a garage sale, mate.
14:49Get rid of some of that junk.
14:53You didn't know that Shane was an art critic, did you?
15:00Hi.
15:01Is there something wrong?
15:03Uh-uh.
15:04Is your grandmother home?
15:06No, she's gone out shopping.
15:08Good.
15:09No offence, but she's the last person I could handle right now.
15:14Jane, I needed to talk to someone. You don't mind, do you?
15:17Of course not.
15:21What's wrong?
15:25My father died.
15:28Oh, Mike, I'm sorry.
15:29I really am.
15:30Are you okay?
15:33Yeah.
15:34Yeah, I think so.
15:36How's your mother coping?
15:38Uh, not the best.
15:40I'm gonna have to move in with her.
15:42And leave Ramsey Street?
15:44I don't have much choice, do I?
15:48You've been so happy here.
15:51What else can I do?
15:54Des and Daphne will be upset if you're leaving.
15:57Yeah, well, uh, they don't know yet.
16:00Jane, do you think you could come with me?
16:02I don't think I could face them on my own.
16:04Yeah, sure.
16:06Thanks.
16:13Doesn't it feel good to have a thorough clean out?
16:16Yes.
16:17I've been meaning to do it for months.
16:18Yes, I can see that.
16:20And, uh, just what in particular are you throwing out?
16:26That one over there.
16:28Oh.
16:38Hmm.
16:41You wouldn't happen to be getting rid of any paintings.
16:45Oh, I think that Helen intends to paint over any she doesn't like.
16:48Yes, I can see there's a lot she wouldn't want to be seen.
16:53Her lesser efforts, I mean.
16:55I'm sure that even Mrs. Daniels must have her failures.
16:59Yes.
16:59Thanks a lot for that, Helen.
17:01I'll give Paul a buzz and see how much he wants for the rent.
17:03Okay.
17:03For, uh, what, may I ask?
17:07Um, for the caravan at Lester's.
17:10Oh.
17:11Then you're, uh, moving out of home.
17:13Yeah.
17:15Well, I must say, this is one occasion when you have my undivided sympathies.
17:19Not even a saint could put up with living in the same house with the likes of that young hoodlum.
17:25You mean Henry?
17:26Mm.
17:27No, no, no, Mrs. Mangle.
17:29Henry's a, um, a great bloke.
17:33I'm moving out because of the neighbours.
17:38See you later.
17:38Is there anything you wanted to see me about, no?
17:44Oh, um, I was wondering if, uh, you and Mr. Robinson would mind if I took a few clippings from your front garden.
17:51I had intended to buy a few large shrubs, but really they're getting far too expensive.
17:57Oh, help yourself.
17:58I'm sure Jim won't mind.
18:00Of course not.
18:01Oh, thank you.
18:03Well, I'll call back later then.
18:05Goodbye.
18:05I must say, you have, uh, plenty of, uh, canvases, weren't you, with all your discards?
18:23Steady on, Mrs. M.
18:24Oh, it's Mrs. Mangle to you, young man.
18:28And I can't abide people like you who sneak up on respectable folk without warning.
18:35Why does that old bitty always give me the feeling that she doesn't want me living round here?
18:43Don't worry about her.
18:44If she had her way, she'd stick barbed wire right across the end of Ramsey Street and wouldn't let anybody in.
18:49She's not the only one who's not keen on ex-crims.
18:52I don't reckon I'll have much fun trying to get a job.
18:55Actually, Mr. Robinson, I was wondering if you'd heard of any odd jobs going.
18:59No, I haven't, mate.
19:02There's a shed at work that needs cleaning out, though.
19:04It's a bit messy.
19:05I don't care.
19:06I'll do anything.
19:06All right.
19:07You're on.
19:07And if I hear of anything else, I'll let you know.
19:09Oh, thanks a million.
19:10Listen, do you need a hand here this afternoon?
19:12Not for money or anything, just for the fun of it.
19:15Well, I could use a bit of help, yeah.
19:17Great.
19:18Well, where do we start?
19:20Would it help if I gave your mother some financial advice?
19:23It sure would.
19:25I don't understand half of the things she's going on about.
19:27No worries.
19:28We'll get on to it as soon as she's feeling up to it.
19:31Dez, there's something else.
19:33I don't know how to tell you and Daphne.
19:35You've both been so terrific.
19:38But, um...
19:40Mike feels he should go and stay with his mother.
19:43Well, of course.
19:44You can't leave her alone at a time like this.
19:46Yeah, take your time.
19:48Room will be always there when you want to come back.
19:50That's just it.
19:50I won't be coming back.
19:54You mean never?
19:56Well, it's not that he wants to go.
19:58It's just he hasn't any choice.
20:00Well, it'll be cheaper and...
20:02Mum and I'll need every cent we can get.
20:04Well, you can't go to university and support your mother as well.
20:06I know, I know.
20:08I'm going to defer.
20:09Mike, you can't.
20:10Mike, it's your whole future.
20:12I can study later.
