00:00Neighbors, everybody needs good neighbors. With a little understanding, you can find the perfect blend.
00:16Neighbors should be there for one another. That's when good neighbors become good friends.
00:34It is nailed, isn't it?
00:36Yeah. I mean, no, no.
00:39Oh.
00:40That is to say, she lives here, but she's not here at the moment. I'm her sister, Belle.
00:49Oh, I see. Well, how do you do, Belle?
00:52I'm John, John Worthington. Nell and I are bowling partners. I don't know if she's ever mentioned me.
00:58Yes, yes. She did say something.
01:01She left this behind after a game this morning. I thought she might be worried about it.
01:05Yes, she was. It's very kind of you. Thank you.
01:09Well, not at all. It was on my way home, anyway.
01:12Well, I'm afraid I don't know when she'll be home.
01:15Yes, well, I quite understand I've got to be going anyway. Tell Nell I'll see her down at the club next time.
01:21I'll do that.
01:24Well, don't look at me like that. What else was I supposed to say?
01:39You know, that supermarket isn't nearly as good since it changed hands. They don't have any of the vegetarian specialty lines anymore.
01:47Madge? Hmm? Hmm? Oh, sorry. You know, I wish I'd sent him condolences or a card or something when his wife died.
01:54Who?
01:55John. His wife, Iris, was a lovely woman. She was his receptionist.
01:59Well, there's one way to keep the overheads down.
02:01Oh, Harold. Oh, well. I wonder what he wanted with Nell Mengel.
02:05And now, Madge. Now what?
02:07Come on, I know what you... Don't start sticky-beaking.
02:10I just said I wonder. I know what you said. Come on, I'll have the noodles now.
02:13Very good dental mechanic, too. He'd always put himself out in an emergency.
02:18But I always used to wonder about poor Iris sitting in that funny little room with nothing but rows and rows of dentures to look at.
02:23I wonder if she ever talked to them.
02:26Madge? Hmm? The tea.
02:29Oh, sorry. Peppermint?
02:31Yeah, you see, they didn't have chamomile, not even lemongrass.
02:34Oh. I wish I'd asked her.
02:38She'd have probably thought you'd taken leave of your senses.
02:41Yes, probably.
02:44Anyway, I still wish I'd sent John a card.
02:46There's not much you can do about it now.
02:48No.
02:49But, well, I've got all this food you said yourself have got more than we need.
02:52What, do you mean invite him, too?
02:54Yes, well, why not? He and Nell obviously know each other, and four's a much better number.
02:57Are you sure you're just not trying to get out of entertaining her yourself?
03:00Come on, Harold, don't be so silly. Nell and I are friends now. You know that.
03:04Just thought it'd be a nice surprise for her.
03:06Well, as you did say, it's more food than we can use.
03:09Good. I'll look up his number and give him a ring.
03:12No, I'm telling you, mate. Babies have got an instinct for it.
03:19They wait till you're just about out of the door.
03:21You get everything ready, fresh jumpsuit, which is usually the last one he's got clean.
03:25Anyway, you've got less than five minutes to get there.
03:27You pick him up, walk towards the door, then whammo, out it comes, either one end or the other.
03:33Oh, I wouldn't laugh, mate. Your time will come.
03:36Oh, not me. I'm going to have servants to take care of all that sort of thing.
03:40Well, a guiding business doing that well, eh?
03:42Well, not right now, isn't it?
03:45Rotten grass slows down this time of year. People reckon they can get away without, you know, having to cut it.
03:49So, I had to give myself an early mark on that.
03:52Yeah, it must be catching. It's been as dead as a doornail around here.
03:55There's a mate. Might as well give it another hour and then close up.
03:58I know he's hanging around here if it's going to be like this.
04:00Yeah, all right. G'day, Pete.
04:01G'day. How's it going?
04:03Good evening for the day, eh?
04:04I'm just beginning. I'm on my way over to the track now.
04:07Yeah, watch this. Give us a look.
04:10You little beauty. You made it.
04:12The badge, mate. The AIS squad. He's made it.
04:15Oh, you've been holding out on us, eh?
04:17Mine only found out last night. Just picked the gear up this morning.
04:20Oh, good one. That's great, mate.
04:22Yeah, I didn't say anything, but I ran 14-1 in the trials.
04:25I wouldn't mind being able to run that over 110 flat without those flaming hurdles get over as well.
04:30It's too much like artwork.
04:31I'll be worth it, though. I wouldn't mind a trip to Seoul.
04:33Well, I wouldn't go that far yet. I've only been picked in the AIS squad.
04:37Besides, I need to knock off another three tenths before I make the Olympic team.
04:40Your time's down nearly a quarter of a second so far this season, isn't it?
04:43No.
04:44You shouldn't find another three tenths too hard.
04:46That's right. Well, that's kind of why I dropped by.
04:48Are you doing anything this other?
04:49No, not really. Why?
04:50Well, I've got to work on my splits.
04:52The time it takes me to get between each hurdle.
04:55I've got to make the first in under two and a half seconds, run through as fast as possible.
05:00That's why I'm losing it.
05:02Listen, my coach is off crook. Do you think you can come and give me a hand?
05:05Yeah, sure. All right.
05:06Well, I'm not doing anything this earlier, so you'd like some help?
05:09Mead?
05:10Oh, I don't know.
05:11Hey, do you reckon we could put champagne glasses on the hurdles like they did in Chariots of Fire?
05:15It was just a movie, mate. Some guys at the Institute tried it, but it didn't seem to work.
05:19Pity.
05:20Might have been a really interesting afternoon.
05:23Why did it use the champagne?
05:25There's a really great pool here underneath that bridge.
05:31Let's go straight through when I was a kid. We'll go in on foot, park on the main road, take about ten minutes.
05:38Oh, just as long as you write it all down so I know where you are if something goes wrong.
05:42We're only going to be a couple of minutes on the road, darling.
05:44You said ten.
05:46We'll be very close to the main road.
05:48You're supposed to let people know exactly where you're going to be when you go book shit.
05:52You're absolutely right, so why don't I leave you this map?
05:55All right, you lot. I'll soon want to set the table.
05:58Okay, why don't you go and check the rods in the garage?
06:00Someone left their line all tangled last time, if my memory serves me correctly.
06:04I'm sorry about that, but how's the card coming along?
06:08It's a bit yucky.
06:09Oh, it is not.
06:12Anyway, it's the thought that counts.
06:14And a homemade card is much nicer than I've bought one.
06:17Mrs. Mangle will love it.
06:18Can I take it over now, please, please?
06:19Uh-huh, if you're hurry.
06:20Wait a minute, Katie.
06:22I was going to try making a soup, but I think that Bouncer might appreciate it more.
06:26Oh, great!
06:29Graham, I still can't get used to her calling you that.
06:32I think she's starting to feel that she belongs here now.
06:35And Todd.
06:36Yes, yes, they do seem to be settling in a bit.
06:39When?
06:40Oh, no.
06:42Dr. Sedgwick, yes, yes, I do know him.
06:45He's very good.
06:47Yes, all right, Bob, I understand.
06:49You just try and get some rest, and thanks for ringing.
06:55What happened?
06:56I think you spoke a bit too soon about the kids settling in, Jim.
07:00Annette's been taken to hospital.
07:03She's had a nervous breakdown.
07:05Oh.
07:11Frankly, he sounded pretty close to the edge himself,
07:14and Annette's had a complete nervous breakdown.
07:16I knew she was under a lot of pressure.
07:18I didn't realise it was that bad.
07:19Oh, Annette's always been like that.
07:20She bottles everything up until...
07:23I've got to go to her gym.
07:25Yeah, of course.
07:27I'll just phone the airline.
07:28There's a flight at four, if I remember to respond.
07:30No.
07:31Wait a minute.
07:32Better make it tomorrow morning.
07:33It's a bit late now to organise anyone for the evening surgery.
07:38It never rains, but it pours, doesn't it?
07:41It's Katie and Todd I'm thinking about.
07:43It'll put them right back to square one.
07:45They'll have to be told.
07:46You can't hide something like this from them.
07:49I know.
08:01Who is it?
08:02It's Katie Landers, Mrs. Mangle.
08:04Oh.
08:05It's you again, is it?
08:06Well, I told her before...
08:08What's that?
08:09I made it to say sorry.
08:12Oh.
08:14Let's see.
08:15It's not very good.
08:17Yes, well, um...
08:19Well, it's the thought that counts.
08:21I didn't mean to spoil your dress.
08:24Well, perhaps it was Bouncer's fault as well.
08:27That's right, I'm talking about you.
08:29I brought him a bone.
08:30Oh, well, he can't have it in here.
08:32It would make a mess.
08:33You'd better take him out the back.
08:35Okay.
08:36Hello.
08:37How are you, boy?
08:38Look what I've got for you.
08:40Uh, well, uh...
08:42I suppose you can stay and play with him for a while.
08:44Ah, yeah.
08:45Yeah.
08:46I've been for meaning.
08:47Yeah.
08:49Ah, yeah.
08:50I've been here for the next time.
08:51I went with him for a while.
08:52Ah.
08:53I took sala of water with him for a while.
08:54I've었던 the table.
08:55I've been here forfeit too, I've been Rita.
08:56As of brother's mistress.
08:57You thought omfor me.
08:59Oh, my God.
09:2914.26
09:37Oh, that's the personal best
09:39Yep, 2.38 over the first hurdle
09:41Oh, good
09:42How fast do you reckon you'd go if you had top one competition?
09:45Oh, I don't know
09:46I reckon it'd make about two tenths of a difference, maybe three
09:48Well, you've made the AIS team
09:50You're practically there
09:51You'd be cracking that Olympic standard any day now
09:53It's a bit tough trying to do it without all the best facilities
09:56So, come on, all you need is good competition
09:59Yeah, well, it wouldn't hurt to have access to the best sporting technology, though
10:01Yeah, and the only plus I'm going to get that is at the Sports Institute in Canberra
10:06Well, that's it then
10:06Oh, sure, with only a half scholarship
10:08Do you know how much that's still going to cost?
10:11Yeah, wouldn't be cheap
10:12Well, we'll figure out how we'll get the money later
10:15You can't let talent like that go to waste, mate
10:17That's right
10:18You just worry about the hurdles
10:20And that me and Des take care of the money
10:23Yeah, we're good at that sort of thing
10:26I don't think there's much I can do with this
10:31It was only a little tangle when you two started on it
10:35Well, it sort of got out of control
10:36Very tricky things, fishing lights
10:38Look, why don't we start from the very beginning
10:41Mrs. Mangled Light, my card and guess what?
10:44She let me play with Bouncer and everything
10:45Oh, sure
10:46She did, Todd, you went there
10:48Yes, Katie, it's all right
10:49It doesn't sound like the old bat to me
10:52All right, you two, hush up the both of you
10:53There's something I want to say to you
10:55It's about your mum
11:01She's had to go to hospital for a bit
11:05Now, we don't think it's serious
11:06And it is only for a little while
11:07But we just thought we ought to let you know
11:09Oh, no
11:10Katie, Jim's right
11:12It won't be for long
11:12There's nothing to worry about at the moment, darling
11:15Honestly
11:15Can we see her?
11:16Well, no, not at the moment
11:19I'm flying down in the morning
11:21I'll let you know how she is
11:22Promise?
11:23Yes, I promise
11:24Why can't we see her?
11:26What's wrong with her?
11:27She needs rest at the moment
11:28And her doctor doesn't want even you there for a while
11:30That's right
11:31Now, we've got to get going
11:32It'll be time to come home
11:33Have a good time
11:35Bye-bye
11:36More tomato juice, John
11:49Oh, thank you
11:50Good
11:50It's really kind of you to invite me
11:53Not at all
11:54We thought seeing that you and Mrs Mangle were old friends anyway
11:58Well, new friends, really
11:59We're both partners
12:00Oh, so that's it
12:02Oh, nothing
12:03Actually, I thought it was only fair I should invite you to dinner
12:06I think about you every time I chew on that crown of mine anyway
12:08Oh, I see
12:09How's that holding up?
12:11No problems
12:11No, no problems at all
12:12You did a lovely job
12:13I've got the sort of teeth that send you chaps bankrupt
12:16Not a feeling on that side
12:18Oh, Harold
12:19John didn't come here to talk about your teeth
12:21Oh, I don't mind
12:22To tell the truth
12:23I rather miss the work since I've retired
12:25You know, when I was younger
12:27Much younger
12:27I cherished an ambition to continue my studies
12:30Become a dentist
12:30But when I met Iris
12:33That was it, so to speak
12:35Lucky escape, eh?
12:37Madge, how can you say
12:38That dentistry is a very fine profession
12:40Yeah, and everyone hates them
12:41They don't
12:42Well, you do, for a start
12:44I do not
12:45And how come I can't even get you there for a check-up?
12:48Well, because my teeth are perfect, that's why
12:50Oh, you should have a check-up every six months, Harold
12:52Thank you, John
12:53Yes, but I...
12:54It's hard to build up a lung
12:55Because they have a lot of problems
12:56What sort of problems?
12:58Cavities, Harold
12:58Cavities
12:59Cavities?
13:01There seems to be an echo in there
13:02I'm glad you seem to think it's funny
13:05Oh, Mrs. Mangle, come in
13:11Thank you
13:12Are you all right, Mr. Bishop?
13:14No
13:14Oh, yes, yes, of course I am
13:16John
13:17Hello, Nell
13:19Yes, we thought, seeing that you know each other
13:21We'd make up a foursome
13:21Oh
13:22This must be my day for surprising members of your family
13:26Did Belle tell you I returned your cardigan?
13:29Yes
13:29Yes, she did
13:31Sorry?
13:33Oh, Nell left her cardigan at the bowling club when I returned it
13:36I surprised her sister wearing a face mask
13:38I think she was a little embarrassed to tell the truth
13:42Um, her sister?
13:44Yes, Belle
13:44Oh, yes, of course
13:47Belle
13:48Here we are
13:55This is really nice, mate
13:56I have to admit, Harold is responsible for this course
14:00What is it, a sort of ratatouille and cheese?
14:02Yes, but can you guess the secret ingredient?
14:08Not really
14:09Oregano
14:11Oh, yes, of course
14:12Harold, I think that pasta's ready
14:16Oh, right, you'll love this
14:18It's ravioli with ricotta cheese and a lovely spinach sauce over the top
14:21It tastes a lot better than it sounds
14:24I'm sure it'll be delicious
14:25Must have been a great surprise for you, Nell
14:29Belle, turning up under the blue like that
14:31Yes, yes, it was
14:33She, um, she doesn't get up to town very often now
14:36It was a bit of a rush trip
14:37Oh, gone back again, has she?
14:39Yes
14:40John, it was very kind of you to return my cardigan
14:44Oh, not at all
14:45I must have forgotten about it after the excitement of her weight
14:49Oh, it's a good thing Belle was there when John returned it
14:53Yes, yes, wasn't her
14:54From what he says, you must be very like
14:57Well, she was wearing a face pack
15:00It's not that easy to tell
15:01Yes, all our lives people have mixed us up
15:04She is a good deal younger than myself, however
15:08I was talking to Ted Burrows after our game today
15:11He said the way we played, we should definitely enter the club championships
15:14Really?
15:15There we go
15:16There we go
15:17Mmm, that smells great
15:19Who's the fried rice?
15:20Me, I'm sweet and sour
15:21Who's the bread, mate?
15:22Very funny
15:23Okay, he's asleep
15:24Now, where were we?
15:25Only one left, mate, must be yours
15:26The curry?
15:27No
15:28Right, now about the Institute of Sport
15:29If they'd given me a full scholarship, there wouldn't be any problems
15:32But a visiting scholarship doesn't include food or accommodation
15:34But I bet if you had the cash, you'd go
15:36Well, I'd like to, but even if I could
15:38And what about my job?
15:39Maybe we could give you the time off
15:40I'll talk to head office, they're pretty good about that sort of thing
15:42Yeah, but there's still the expenses
15:55I just can't afford it
15:56Well, I'll talk to them about some sort of sponsorship
15:59They'd done that before
16:01Well, it was always my trust account
16:02No, no way
16:03Listen, mate, it's my money if I want to use it to send you the Olympics, then it's my business
16:07I'm not taking charity and that's final
16:10What do you mean charity?
16:11mean charity? I'm not letting you risk your money. If you'll all just listen. I reckon
16:16nobody's going to have to risk anything. It's a bit early for Christmas, isn't it, Henry?
16:19Listen. Erinsborough Athletes Olympic Chances Dashed. Oh, you mean make a community project
16:27out of it? Why not? I don't know, Henry. You get asked to put your hands in your pocket
16:32so often these days, you'd have to make Pete sound pretty special. Yeah, we will. How?
16:36Well, think of something? It's only a minor hurdle to get over, eh? How did I know you
16:43were going to say that? Thank you for walking me home, John. Can I offer you a cup of something?
16:54No, thanks. I really must be getting along. We've stood here together once before, haven't
17:00we? I'm sorry. I don't understand. Yes, you do, Belle. Oh, when did you realise? During
17:14dinner. There was something about the way Madge wanted to keep talking about Belle and you
17:18wanted to keep changing the subject. It was very good of you not to say anything. Well,
17:24I wouldn't have said anything now except that I could see you were still worried about it.
17:27I thought if I told you I knew it'd be all out in the open. We could have a good laugh
17:33and put it all behind us. Oh, I'm not sure I could ever laugh about it. I just feel so
17:40foolish. But why? It was the most human thing to do. I do understand these things now. I was
17:48married for 40 years, you know. If anything, I found it rather endearing. It was a deliberate
17:55falsehood. And I should never have done such a thing. Well, we must look at things a little
18:01differently. I just hope it won't spoil our friendship. Night now. Good night, John.
18:08They smell awful. Well, it's not how it smells that matters. It's how it tastes. Lightly fried in butter, a little squeeze of lemon juice.
18:16But unless you're planning on doing the Sermon on the Mount, they're not exactly going to go very far, are they? No, I suppose not. I don't want any anyway. Well, I think Todd should have first choice. He caught them. Big deal. What's wrong with you? Nothing. Darling, it's time for bed. Do I have to? Yes, you have to.
18:23Will you read me a story, please, Grant? Yes, I'll read your story. I'll come up and say goodnight in a minute. Okay. Come on, mate. Let's get the
18:30of my clothes. I don't want to get this clean. Why don't you tell me about Mum? It's serious, isn't it?
18:31Well, I know the people doing the Sermon on the Mount. But no, it's a bit of a little fun. Well, I've got a whole lot of people doing the sermon onket.
18:35But it isn't a whole lot of people doing the sermon on the Mount. They're not exactly going to go very far, are they? No, I suppose not. I don't want to any anyway. Well, I think Todd should have first choice. He caught them. Big deal.
18:41What's wrong with you? Nothing. Darling, it's time for bed. Do I have to? Yes, you have to. Will you do a story please, Grant? Yes, I'll read your story.
18:49I'll read your story. I'll come up and say goodnight in a minute.
18:51Okay.
18:52Come on, mate. Let's get these clean.
18:55Why won't you tell me about Mum?
18:58It's serious, isn't it?
19:00That's why I keep on changing the subject all the time.
19:03I know Katie's too young to understand, but I'm not.
19:07She's my mother. I want to know what's going on.
19:19Neighbors, everybody needs good neighbors.
19:23Just a friendly way each morning helps to make a better day.
19:34Neighbors need to get to know each other.
